ITEM 1.          BUSINESS
 
Overview
 
Car Charging Group, Inc. (the “Company”) provides an electric charging service for the electric vehicle (EV) automobile market, delivering convenient access for EV drivers to refuel their automobiles wherever they live, work and play. The Company seeks to become a leading provider of EV charging services throughout North America and ultimately in Europe and Asia.  In order for electric vehicles to become a mainstream reality, public EV charging stations need to be in place and readily available to consumers nationally. 

Car Charging installs electric charging services where EV owners are likely to live, commute, and shop, leading to a higher utilization on every installation investment.  We contract with property owners and managers who control locations in high traffic areas where there is accelerating consumer adoption of electric cars as a less expensive means of transportation coupled with a focus on greenhouse gas savings.

Charging installs fast charging stations, enabling most EV owners to fully recharge their batteries from empty in about four hours.   However, most drivers will use our service to “top off” their batteries, to re-energize their batteries from approximately half a charge to a full charge. Car Charging sets its price based on a variety of factors, some of which are local electricity tariffs, location, and competitive services.  The stations that provide our service are sourced from a third party today, many of which are purchased from Coulomb Technologies.

Our approach is to become a strategic partner with property owners, who own high value real estate, and to demonstrate the value we offer their locations.   Consumers seek businesses that support energy conservation and the Car Charging service provides a differentiator for those real estate owners who want to promote themselves as supporters of the “green” movement. Electric vehicle charging provides this missing component for many property owners.  Furthermore, our business model provides for the potential for increased revenue per parking spot.  Car Charging offers the property owner a share in the revenue stream generated from the charging sessions as well as any other revenue derived from the location.

Over the past year and half, Car Charging has contracts with and generated strong relationships with many of the essential property owners required to build a profitable charging business.  Real estate segments we have established strong ties with include apartment complexes/MDUs for residential living, REITs, national parking garage owners and managers, retailers, shopping centers and malls, high population density municipalities, and office parks.   Partnerships under contract in the parking market segment include ICON, Central, ACE, and LAZ parking.  In the residential arena, contracts include Forest City, Equity One, Equity Residential, and Kettler. In the retail segment, relationships include Walgreens, Mall of America, Aventura Mall, and Four Seasons in Miami.  Lastly, municipalities own and operate prime locations where we have relationships and those include the Pennsylvania Turnpike, Norwalk, and Dania Beach.

Our main source of revenue will be derived from the electric charging services, with pricing set as an hourly rate or on a per kilowatt hour rate.  As more states adopt electricity deregulation, Car Charging will be in a more advantageous position to be competitively price its service vis-a-vis refueling at home.  As a first mover in the Electric Vehicle infrastructure category, Car Charging is set to capitalize on the opportunities presented by this emerging industry.   

Our Company is able to facilitate the purchase of EV charging stations through its wholly owned subsidiary, eCharging Stations, LLC. The installation and maintenance of the EV charging equipment is subcontracted through approved local vendors.  It is competitively bid so as to maintain the lowest installation and on-going costs possible.

History

The Company was incorporated in October 2006 in Nevada with the intention of providing personal consultation services to the general public.  On December 7, 2009, we entered into a Share Exchange Agreement with Car Charging, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Car Charging”).  
 
At closing, pursuant to the majority consent of our board of directors and shareholders, we approved (i) an amendment to our Articles of Incorporation changing our name to Car Charging Group, Inc. and (ii) the authorization of 20,000,000 shares of preferred stock of the Company.  Additionally, we filed a Certificate of Designation with the state of Nevada designating rights to the authorized preferred stock of the Company (the “Series A Convertible Preferred Stock”).

During February, 2011, the Shareholders and Board of Directors authorized a decrease of our issued and outstanding common stock, in the form of a reverse stock-split, on a one-for-fifty (1:50) basis (the “Reverse Stock-Split”).  All share and per share amounts included in the consolidated financial statements have been adjusted retroactively to reflect the effects of the Reverse Stock-Split.

Corporate Structure

Car Charging Group, Inc. is the parent company of Car Charging, Inc., a Delaware corporation, which serves as the main operating company and is, in turn, the parent company of several distinct wholly-owned subsidiary operating companies.

Industry Overview
 
The electric vehicle industry is set to accelerate over the next several years for a multiplicity of reasons.  Gasoline prices continue to rise and could in fact approach the sky-high prices seen in Europe.  Environmental awareness and CO2 impact is of great concern to consumers globally.  States such as California have passed laws requiring significant reduction in greenhouse gas emissions from passenger vehicles.  While hybrid automobiles are attaining improved gas mileage, they remain a severe pollutant.

Large scale market penetration and consumer adoption will occur over the next few years due to these five main reasons.

1.  
U.S. legislative programs provides incentives to grow the industry

There has been a concerted effort on the part of the federal, state and local governments to foster the electric vehicle industry, supporting both the vehicles and the necessary infrastructure to recharge them.  There have been an unprecedented number of loans and grants to insure this segment succeeds.  The Ford Motor Company was awarded a $5.9 billion loan in June of 2009.   Tesla Motors received a $465 million loan to build its plant in Fremont California and to support its production of its Model S 4-door sedan.  Both of the aforementioned loans came from the US Government’s $25 billion program dedicated to the development of electric/plug-in hybrid vehicles. 

The United States Government has approved a $7,500 tax credit to purchasers of electric vehicles, with legislation in place to raise this tax credit to $10,000.  Whether it is for the actual manufacturing of a new car, or to startup companies looking to capitalize on new infrastructure technologies, governments have committed to spending billions of dollars to ensure that the electric vehicle industry as a whole will succeed.  

2.  
Maintain a relatively low cost of electricity when compared to gasoline

At the beginning of the 20th Century, electricity generally cost over $0.20 per kilowatt hour, and could have been as high as $0.40.  During that same time period, gasoline could be purchased for $0.05 per gallon.  Today, the average price of a gallon of regular gasoline across the United States exceeds $3.79 while the average cost of electricity is $.13 per kilowatt hour.  The spread between gasoline and electricity continues to widen.

Concurrently, major utility companies are all working on upgrading their infrastructure to make it easier to charge an electric vehicle. The “smart-grid” investment that many utilities have already made will provide ample information to predict the required power requirements needed to support a widespread EV infrastructure.

3.  
Variety of vehicles at price points that are consistent with today’s gasoline-powered vehicles

Almost all of the major car manufacturers have committed to build an electric vehicle by 2015.  General Motors, Ford, Chrysler, Nissan, Honda, BMW, Mercedes, Tesla, and Fisker are just some of the examples of the car manufactures committed to making the electric vehicle industry a successful enterprise.  Lease options from General Motors for the Chevy Volt are extremely attractive at $349 price per month.  The BMW ActiveE has an unlimited mileage lease for $499 per month.

Once the U.S. government incentives are subtracted, an EV’s sticker price becomes much more attractive.   Manufacturers and consumers will need to be weaned off of this stipend as the government cannot afford to provide this incentive for an extended period of time.  Technology advances from the private sector will enable manufacturers to establish a very competitive price point in the coming years.

4.  
Battery costs decrease while recharge life increases

Battery technology is advancing at a blistering pace.  Not only are the battery costs per kilowatt hour decreasing rapidly, but also are the size and weight.  All three variables are necessary components required to drive down the costs of an electric vehicle. Additionally, battery lifespan is critical to EV acceptance, and companies such as A123Systems are leading the way towards increased battery longevity.

5.  
EV Infrastructure that supports consumer driving habits

Consumers are fickle and do not want to alter their daily routine or driving habits. And while many believe that most EV charging will be completed at home, the need for a robust, pervasive public EV charging infrastructure is required to eliminate range anxiety.  Public and residential charging eliminates the need for drivers to go out of their way to fill their gas tank.  Instead, charging stations will be located in popular destination locations where drivers currently park.  Be it for 20 minutes at a local Walgreens, for a few hours while parking at work, or at home overnight, the recharging infrastructure build-out will be more than sufficient for nearly all drivers.

The Ford Motor Company was awarded a $5.9 billion loan in June of 2009.  In 2010 Tesla Motors, Silicon Valley’s electric car manufacturer received a $465 million loan.  Both of the aforementioned loans came from the US Government’s $25 billion program dedicated to the development of electric/plug-in hybrid vehicles. 
 
In 2010, the government of France took the lead in Europe by announcing that it would spend $2.2 billion to build a network of charging stations.  Remarkably, France is putting the burden on building owners: the installation of charging stations will be mandatory in all office parking lots by 2015 and all new apartment buildings with parking lots must host charging stations by December, 2012.  We anticipate that other governments will follow the French example. 
 
Equipment and Network Utilized
 
Many of the EV charging stations installed today include the CT2000 family of ChargePoint Networked Charging Stations, manufactured by Coulomb Technologies, which are specifically designed for the North American market.   The CT2000 family of charging stations supports fast charging known as Level 2 (208/240V @ 32A) charging.  The ChargePoint Networked Charging Stations combined with the ChargePoint Network Operating System (NOS) form a smart charging infrastructure for plug-in electric vehicles. 
 
Although we do not exclusively use Coulomb’s charging stations, we believe they are at the forefront of the electric vehicle charging station market.  Strategically, it makes the most sense to be aligned with their devices and network infrastructure.  As the market continues to mature, we intend to upgrade when new technologies become available.  Car Charging has been provided many charging stations under the Coulomb ChargePoint America (CPA) program which enables us to lower our average overall equipment costs.
 
Competition

The competitive landscape in the development of a national or regional electric vehicle infrastructure is young and still fragmented. No clear leader or leaders have emerged, leaving room for new arrivals to ascend. The terrain, however, is such that competitors may quickly become complimentary to one another, allowing for greater mobility and enhanced driving distance for the electric vehicle operator through the ability to charge at charging stations owned and/or operated by different owners. This, in turn, will work towards further expansion of the electric vehicle industry, bringing additional revenue to all these companies and allowing the infrastructure to grow. Furthermore, because Car Charging is in the business of owning and operating EV charging stations and not developing the technology behind the chargers, potential competitors become partners if and when Car Charging seeks new chargers to with which to equip additional locations as the technology further develops

The electric vehicle charging marketplace is made up of a variety of companies who either offer direct distribution or work with independent distributors, including:
 
General Electric is currently developing a Level 2 (220 Volt) Networked Charging Station.
 
Better Place is a company developing the technology and working on the deployment of a network of battery charging stations and battery switch stations. Better Place is building its first electric vehicle network in Israel. Better Place has also announced an agreement with Renault-Nissan where they will develop an electric vehicle with the capacity to have its battery removed and swapped through the better place switching stations being developed.
 
350Green is a project developer that designs, builds and operates networks of plug-in electric vehicle (EV) charging stations. The company distributes its stations by partnering with retail hosts at select, high-traffic shopping centers and other places.
 
Beam Charging has a similar business model to ours but is currently only operating in the New York area.

Ecotality manufactures and sells Level 2 and 3 “Blink” chargers.  Under a Federal Grant “The EV Project” they anticipate installation of approximately 14,000 Level 2 and 300-400 Level 3 chargers in 6 states.
 
NRG offers home and public charging at fixed monthly rates, and currently only offers this in Dallas/Ft Worth and Houston. They anticipate a 20 city rollout of EV charging station infrastructure, with an emphasis on monthly subscriptions.

Customers

We launched our business in the State of Florida but have expanded to locations throughout the United States.  Our goal is to expand both nationally and internationally in conjunction with the demand for our service. Currently, our customers are made up of apartment complexes/MDUs for residential living, REITs, national parking garage owners and managers, retailers, shopping centers and malls, high population density municipalities and office parks.

Sales and Marketing 
 
When evaluating our future, we believe the most important consideration is the number of locations we sign up to install charging stations.  We could sign up a 600 spot parking garage, but only install one charging station upon the signing of our contract. What that location now represents to us as a company is 599 other potential charging locations that will yield future potential revenues in essential EV markets. We will have minimum capital needs to secure locations, and will only spend as the market warrants. Through the use of technology, we will be able to monitor the usage of the charging stations. As the market develops, we can increase the number of charging stations installed at each location. 
 
We employ a direct sales team located both on the east and west coast, as well as a team of independent contractors located throughout the United States actively pursuing and closing deals.

Car Charging’s website is located at www.carcharging.com and will leverage this as a storefront to market our services to property owners as well as to consumers.  We frequently utilize public relations to announce our new property partnerships through an outside agency.  And, we employ social networking such as facebook and twitter to ensure there is much discussion on the topic of EV charging in the public domain.
 
Government/Regulatory Approval
 
 Local regulations for charging station installation vary from city to city.  Compliance with such regulation(s) may cause installation delays, but these issues are standard and expected for any product that requires construction as part of its installation.    
 
Currently, the Company charges customers hourly for its services, rather than base charges on kilowatt hours used so as not to be treated as a regulated public utility.  California, Oregon, Virginia and the State of Washington have determined that companies that sell electric vehicle charging services to the public will not be regulated as utilities, therefore allowing us to charge based on kilowatt usage.  These individual state determinations are not binding on any other regulator or jurisdiction; however, they demonstrate a trend in the way states view the industry.  Other jurisdictions, including Florida and Michigan are in the process of adopting such reforms.
 
Employees 
 
As of April 16, 2012, there are nine employees.

ITEM 1A.      RISK FACTORS
 
Risks Relating to Our Business
 
WE HAVE A LIMITED OPERATING HISTORY THAT YOU CAN USE TO EVALUATE US, AND THE LIKELIHOOD OF OUR SUCCESS MUST BE CONSIDERED IN LIGHT OF THE PROBLEMS, EXPENSES, DIFFICULTIES, COMPLICATIONS AND DELAYS FREQUENTLY ENCOUNTERED BY A SMALL DEVELOPING COMPANY.
 
We were incorporated in Nevada in October, 2006. The likelihood of our success must be considered in light of the problems, expenses, difficulties, complications and delays frequently encountered by a small developing company starting a new business enterprise and the potentially highly competitive environment in which we will operate. Since we have a limited operating history, we cannot assure you that our business will be profitable or that we will ever generate sufficient revenues to meet our expenses and support our anticipated activities.
 
WE NEED TO MANAGE GROWTH IN OPERATIONS TO MAXIMIZE OUR POTENTIAL GROWTH AND ACHIEVE OUR EXPECTED REVENUES AND OUR FAILURE TO MANAGE GROWTH WILL CAUSE A DISRUPTION OF OUR OPERATIONS RESULTING IN THE FAILURE TO GENERATE REVENUE.
 
In order to maximize growth in our current and potential markets, we believe that we must expand our marketing operations. This expansion will place a significant strain on our management and our operational, accounting, and information systems. We expect that we will need to continue to improve our financial controls, operating procedures and management information systems. We will also need to effectively train, motivate and manage our employees. Our failure to manage our growth could disrupt our operations and ultimately prevent us from generating the revenues we expect.
 
In order to achieve the above-mentioned targets, the general strategies of our company are to maintain and search for hard-working employees who have innovative initiatives; as well as to keep a close eye on expansion opportunities through merger or and/or acquisition.
 
IF WE NEED ADDITIONAL CAPITAL TO FUND OUR GROWING OPERATIONS, WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO OBTAIN SUFFICIENT CAPITAL AND MAY BE FORCED TO LIMIT THE SCOPE OF OUR OPERATIONS. 
 
If adequate additional financing is not available on reasonable terms, we may not be able to undertake expansion or continue our marketing efforts and we would have to modify our business plans accordingly. There is no assurance that additional financing will be available to us.
 
In connection with our growth strategies, we may experience increased capital needs; accordingly, we may not have sufficient capital to fund our future operations without additional capital investments. Our capital needs will depend on numerous factors, including (i) our profitability; (ii) the release of competitive products and/or services by our competition; (iii) the level of our investment in research and development;  (iv) the amount of our capital expenditures, including acquisitions, and (v) our growth. We cannot assure you that we will be able to obtain capital in the future to meet our needs.
 
Even if we do find a source of additional capital, we may not be able to negotiate terms and conditions for receiving the additional capital that are acceptable to us. Any future capital investments could dilute or otherwise materially and adversely affect the holdings or rights of our existing shareholders. In addition, new equity or convertible debt securities issued by us to obtain financing could have rights, preferences and privileges senior to our common stock. We cannot give you any assurance that any additional financing will be available to us, or if available, will be on terms favorable to us.
 
 
6

 
 
OUR FUTURE SUCCESS IS DEPENDENT, IN PART, ON THE PERFORMANCE AND CONTINUED SERVICE OF OUR OFFICERS.
 
We are presently dependent to a great extent upon the experience, abilities and continued services of Michael D. Farkas, Andy Kinard and Jack Zwick, our management team.  The loss of services of Mr. Farkas, Mr. Kinard or Mr. Zwick could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operation.

NEED FOR ADDITIONAL EMPLOYEES
 
Our future success also depends upon our ability to attract and retain highly qualified personnel. Expansion of our business and the management and operation of the Company will require additional managers and employees with industry experience, and our success will be highly dependent on our ability to attract and retain skilled management personnel and other employees. There can be no assurance that we will be able to attract or retain highly qualified personnel. As our industry continues to evolve, competition for skilled personnel with the requisite experience will be significant. This competition may make it more difficult and expensive to attract, hire and retain qualified managers and employees.
 
WE ARE IN AN INTENSELY COMPETITIVE INDUSTRY AND THERE CAN BE NO ASSURANCE THAT WE WILL BE ABLE TO COMPETE WITH OUR COMPETITORS WHO MAY HAVE GREATER RESOURCES.
 
The Company could face strong competition within the local area from competitors in the EV charging services industry who could duplicate the model.  These competitors may have substantially greater financial, marketing and development resources and other capabilities than the Company. In addition, there are very few barriers to enter into the market for our services.  There can be no assurance, therefore, that any of our competitors, many of whom have far greater resources, will not independently develop services that are substantially equivalent or superior to our services.  Therefore, an investment in the Company is very risky and speculative due to the competitive environment in which the Company intends to operate.
 
OUR FUTURE SUCCESS IS DEPENDENT UPON THE FUTURE GENERATION OF A MARKET FOR OUR SERVICE
 
The Company currently remains and will continue to remain in a position of dependence on the creation and sustainability of the electric car market.  While a vast majority of the major car manufacturers have made strong financial commitments to the electric vehicle industry going forward, there is no guaranty that the industry will become viable.  Without a fleet of electric vehicles on the road needing recharging, there exists no opportunity for the Company to provide its intended service.  Therefore, an investment in the Company is very risky and speculative due to the uncertain future of the electric vehicle market.
 
Risks Associated with Our Shares of Common Stock
 
IF WE FAIL TO ESTABLISH AND MAINTAIN AN EFFECTIVE SYSTEM OF INTERNAL CONTROL, WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO REPORT OUR FINANCIAL RESULTS ACCURATELY OR TO PREVENT FRAUD.  ANY INABILITY TO REPORT AND FILE OUR FINANCIAL RESULTS ACCURATELY AND TIMELY COULD HARM OUR REPUTATION AND ADVERSELY IMPACT THE TRADING PRICE OF OUR COMMON STOCK.
 
Effective internal control is necessary for us to provide reliable financial reports and prevent fraud.  If we cannot provide reliable financial reports or prevent fraud, we may not be able to manage our business as effectively as we would if an effective control environment existed, and our business and reputation with investors may be harmed.  As a result, our small size and any current internal control deficiencies may adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations and access to capital.  We have not performed an in-depth analysis to determine if in the past un-discovered failures of internal controls exist, and may in the future discover areas of our internal control that need improvement.  We currently do not have an audit committee or audit committee financial expert. Our Code of Ethics requires members of our management team to report any conduct by our Chief Executive Officer or Chief Financial Officer, believed to be in violation of law or business ethics or in violation of any provision of the Code of Ethics to our audit committee.  Because of the lack of an audit committee, violations of our Code of Ethics or violation of law or business ethics by Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer may go unreported.

OUR COMMON STOCK IS QUOTED ONLY ON THE OTC BULLENTIN BOARD (“OTCBB”), WHICH MAY HAVE AN UNFAVORABLE IMPACT ON OUR STOCK PRICE AND LIQUIDITY.
 
Our common stock is quoted on the OTCBB. The OTCBB is a significantly more limited market than the New York Stock Exchange or the NASDAQ Stock Market. The quotation of our shares on the OTCBB may result in a less liquid market available for existing and potential stockholders to trade shares of our common stock, could depress the trading price of our common stock and could have a long-term adverse impact on our ability to raise capital in the future.
 
There can be no assurance that there will be an active market for our shares of common stock either now or in the future. Market liquidity will depend on the perception of our operating business and any steps that our management might take to bring us to the awareness of investors. There can be no assurance given that there will be any awareness generated. Consequently, investors may not be able to liquidate their investment or liquidate it at a price that reflects the value of the business. As a result holders of our securities may not find purchasers for our securities should they to desire to sell them. Consequently, our securities should be purchased only by investors having no need for liquidity in their investment and who can hold our securities for an indefinite period of time.

OUR SHARES OF COMMON STOCK ARE VERY THINLY TRADED, AND THE PRICE MAY NOT REFLECT OUR VALUE AND THERE CAN BE NO ASSURANCE THAT THERE WILL BE AN ACTIVE MARKET FOR OUR SHARES OF COMMON STOCK EITHER NOW OR IN THE FUTURE.
 
Our shares of common stock are very thinly traded, and the price, if traded, may not reflect our value. There can be no assurance that there will be an active market for our shares of common stock either now or in the future. The market liquidity will be dependent on the perception of our operating business and any steps that our management might take to increase awareness of the Company with investors. There can be no assurance given that there will be any awareness generated. Consequently, investors may not be able to liquidate their investment or liquidate it at a price that reflects the value of the business. If a more active market should develop, the price may be highly volatile. Because there may be a low price for our shares of common stock, many brokerage firms may not be willing to effect transactions in the securities. Even if an investor finds a broker willing to effect a transaction in the shares of our common stock, the combination of brokerage commissions, transfer fees, taxes, if any, and any other selling costs may exceed the selling price. Further, many lending institutions will not permit the use of such shares of common stock as collateral for loans.

FUTURE ISSUANCE OF OUR COMMON STOCK COULD DILUTE THE INTEREST OF EXISITNG STOCKHOLDERS.
 
We may issue additional shares of our common stock in the future. The issuance of a substantial amount of common stock could have the effect of substantially diluting the interests of our current stockholders. In addition, the sale of a substantial amount of common stock in the public market, either in the initial issuance or in a subsequent resale by the target company in an acquisition which received such common stock as consideration or by investors who acquired such common stock in a private placement could have an adverse affect on the market price of our common stock.

THE APPLICATION OF THE SEC’S “PENNY STOCK” RULES TO OUR COMMON STOCK COULD LIMIT TRADING ACIVITY IN THE MARKET, AND OUR STOCKHOLDERS MAY FIND IT MORE DIFFICULT TO SELL THEIR STOCK.
 
Our common stock is currently trading at less than $5.00 per share and is therefore subject to the SEC’s penny stock rules. Before a broker-dealer can sell a penny stock, these rules require that it first approve the customer for the transaction and receive from the customer a written agreement to the transaction. It must furnish the customer a document describing the risks of investing in penny stocks. The broker-dealer must also tell the customer the current market quotation, if any, for the penny stock and the compensation the firm and its broker will receive for the trade. Finally, it must send monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer’s account. These disclosure requirements tend to make it more difficult for a broker-dealer to make a market in penny stocks, and could, therefore, reduce the level of trading activity in a stock that is subject to the penny stock rules. Consequently, our stockholders may find it more difficult to sell their stock as compared to other securities.
 
WE DO NOT INTEND TO PAY DIVIDENDS FOR THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE, AND YOU MUST RELY ON INCREASES IN THE MARKET PRICES OF OUR COMMON STOCK FOR RETURNS ON YOUR INVESTMENT.
 
For the foreseeable future, we intend to retain any earnings to finance the development and expansion of our business, and we do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our common stock. Accordingly, investors must be prepared to rely on sales of their common stock after price appreciation to earn an investment return, which may never occur. Investors seeking cash dividends should not purchase our common stock. Any determination to pay dividends in the future will be made at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend on our results of operations, financial condition, contractual restrictions, restrictions imposed by applicable law and other factors our board of directors deems relevant.

ITEM 2.         PROPERTIES
 
We currently occupy office space in Miami Beach, Florida.  The facility is 4,244 square feet, which provides us with ample space to facilitate our operations.

We currently lease an additional office facility in San Jose, California. The lease is for an initial term of 3 years.  The facility is 1,543 square feet.
 
ITEM 3.         LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

In March and April 2012, a former officer and director of the Company filed declaratory actions against the Company relating to compensatory matters, certain warrant exercise rights and the termination of his employment. No determination can be made as to the outcome of this matter at this time.  Management believes these suits to be without merit and intends to vigorously defend itself.  
 
The Company has a lawsuit pending for past due fees due to a consulting firm in the amount of $41,000.  Although the outcome of this matter is uncertain, the Company has reserved for this amount in accounts payable and accrued expenses at December 31, 2011.
 
General Litigation
 
From time to time, the Company is a defendant or plaintiff in various legal actions which arise in the normal course of business. As such the Company is required to assess the likelihood of any adverse outcomes to these matters as well as potential ranges of probable losses. A determination of the amount of the provision required for these commitments and contingencies, if any, which would be charged to earnings, is made after careful analysis of each matter. The provision may change in the future due to new developments or changes in circumstances. Changes in the provision could increase or decrease the Company’s earnings in the period the changes are made. It is the opinion of management, after consultation with legal counsel, that the ultimate resolution of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Approximated Number of Equity Security Holders
 
As of April 16, 2012 there were approximately 100 stockholders of record. Because shares of our common stock are held by depositaries, brokers and other nominees, the number of beneficial holders of our shares is substantially larger than the number of stockholders of record.
 
Dividends
 
To date, we have not declared or paid any dividends on our common stock. We currently do not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future on our common stock. Although we intend to retain our earnings, if any, to finance the exploration and growth of our business, our Board of Directors will have the discretion to declare and pay dividends in the future.
 
Payment of dividends in the future will depend upon our earnings, capital requirements, and other factors, which our Board of Directors may deem relevant.

ITEM 7.         MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
The following discussion and analysis of the results of operations and financial condition for the year ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and the notes to those consolidated  financial statements that are included elsewhere in this Form 10-K. Our discussion includes forward-looking statements based upon current expectations that involve risks and uncertainties, such as our plans, objectives, expectations and intentions. Actual results and the timing of events could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of a number of factors.  See “Forward-Looking Statements.”
 
Overview

Car Charging Group, Inc. (formerly New Image Concepts, Inc.) was created as a result of a merger (Reverse Merger) on December 7, 2009, with Car Charging, Inc.  New Image Concepts Inc. was a development stage entity with the intention of providing personal consultation services to the general public; Car Charging Inc. was formed on September 8, 2009 to develop a market to service electric vehicle charging.  To that end, we are establishing a comprehensive network of EV charging stations that delivers easy, convenient access to drivers wherever they live, work and play. The charging stations are installed, maintained and owned by the Company and they are provided at no cost to the business/property owner “partner.”   The use of the stations is not anticipated in any significant volume until sometime after the 4th quarter of 2012, when automobile manufacturers are scheduled to mass produce and sell electric vehicles to the public.
 
To date, the Company’s operations have been devoted primarily to developing a business plan, raising capital for future operations, entering into contracts with property owner/operators (the “Provider Agreements) and administrative functions.  The Company intends to grow through internal development and selected acquisitions.  During 2011, the Company installed 39 charging stations pursuant to the terms of its Provider Agreements.  The ability of the Company to achieve its business objectives, however, is contingent upon its success in raising additional capital until adequate revenues are realized from operations.  Therefore, no substantial revenue or profit is anticipated in the near or foreseeable future.
 
During 2010, the Company raised $1,448,046 in capital through private sales of its common stock.
 
During 2011, the Company increased its funding by $2,499,999 through additional private sales of its common stock.

Through April 16, 2012, the Company has raised $2,000,000 in capital through private sales of common stock and its yet-to-be-designated Series B Preferred Stock.

By December 31, 2011, the Company had entered into contracts to provide charging services on third party premises, “Provider Agreements”, with 37 entities and completed installation of 46 charging stations (EV devices).
 
The Company generally acquires charging stations from Coulomb Technologies Inc., but consistent with its policy and business plan, continuously reviews the availability of acquiring EV devices from other manufacturers.
 
The Company’s business plan anticipates that significant capital will be needed during 2012 and 2013 to continue building our network of charging stations throughout the United States. Accordingly, the amount of new capital needed will vary depending on several significant factors that include quantity of electric vehicle sales, gasoline prices, success of the Company’s Provider Agreement program, cost of EV's and the Company’s continued acceptance by the capital markets.
 
 
11

 
 
Pursuant to our business plan, to stimulate growth, control cash-flow and minimize costs, the Company has implemented a policy of both acquiring leads to property owners for Provider Agreements through independent contractors and the utilization of in-house personnel in pursuit of Provider Agreements. Company executives accordingly, are employed to close and maintain Provider Agreements and relationships, in addition to those who coordinate installations and operations of EV charging stations.
 
Wherever possible, the Company has adopted a policy of issuing warrants and stock to avoid cash compensation expenses and encourage stock sales (subscriptions). These warrant transactions can result in significant non-cash compensation charges and other non-cash charges that are generally reflected in the consolidated financial statements as “compensation”, “general and administrative” or as “change in fair value” in the statements of operations and cash flow.
 
The foregoing results in a balance sheet account referred to as “Derivative Liabilities.” Our cumulative liability related to these derivative transactions can be summarized at December 31, 2010 as consisting of liability related to warrants of $984,597 and conversion features of notes payable of $2,483,267.  The Company evaluates its convertible debt, warrants or other contracts to determine if those contracts or embedded components of those contracts qualify as derivatives to be separately accounted for in accordance with paragraph 810-10-05-4 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification and paragraph 815-40-25 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. The result of this accounting treatment is that the fair value of the embedded derivative is marked-to-market each balance sheet date and recorded as a liability. In the event that the fair value is recorded as a liability, the change in fair value is recorded in the Statement of Operations as other income or expense, $3,211,356 gain for 2010. Upon conversion or exercise of a derivative instrument, the instrument is marked to fair value at the conversion date and then that fair value is reclassified to equity.

In March 2011, agreements between the Company and the note holders to fix the conversion rate stated in the convertible notes effectively removed the embedded derivative from the convertible notes. Accordingly, as future conversions were no longer subject to reset, the derivative liability related to the notes was adjusted to $0 and the Company recognized a gain on the change in value of the derivative liability of $2,701,894 upon execution.

In October 2011, the Company executed an agreement with the warrant holders which eliminated the reset feature of these warrants.  As a result, the derivative liability associated with the reset is no longer present and the Company recognized a gain on the change in value of derivative liability of $786,721.
 
Results of Operations

Comparison of the year ended December 31, 2011 and 2010

Revenues

The Company generated revenues of $59,490 from sales of EV Charging Stations and $2,799 in revenues from service fees related to installed EV Charging Stations for the year ended December 31, 2011.  The Company did not derive any revenue from operations for the year ended December 31, 2010.  While the Company’s primary strategy is to earn revenue through the installation and maintenance of EV Charging Stations, the Company will sell EV Charging Stations on occasions when the opportunity presents itself.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses include equipment and installation expenses, marketing and advertising expenses, operations, sales, marketing, finance and legal functions. As the number of property contracts increase, the equipment and installation expenses rise accordingly.  Car Charging obtains competitive bids for each installation location in order to decrease these costs.  Equipment costs have decreased approximately 19% over a one year period also contributing to reduced installation expenses.

Sales expenses are incurred once a contract is signed and the service is initiated.  Marketing expenses include essential industry conference participation and regional exhibits to engage with prospective property owners as well as consultants who develop our website, public relations outreach as well as social media engagement.

Net Income and Loss before Provision for Income Taxes
 
Our net loss during the year ended December 31, 2011, is attributable to the fact that we have derived minimal revenue from operations to offset our business development expenses. Although we are pleased to note that auto manufacturers have initiated electric vehicle sales in the United States and that such sales should lead to production of revenue, our loss for the year ended December 31, 2011 amounted to $1,140,075, net of a gain on change in fair value of derivative liability of $3,488,615.  The loss primarily consists of compensation including stocks and warrants issued for services of $1,872,820 and cash compensation for consulting services of $481,741; as well as non-cash charges of $485,000 issued as common stock in exchange for extinguishment of warrants.  During the year, management entered into negotiations and agreements to install EV at locations throughout the United States; and is in the process of hiring additional sales personnel, arranging to lease additional office space and negotiating additional installation cites.
 
Manufacture and significant supply of electric vehicles that will require utilization of the Company’s services is not anticipated to be widespread until the 4th quarter of 2012; this gives the Company adequate time to develop its distribution plan and additional capital sources.

Our net loss during the year ended December 31, 2010, is attributable to the fact that we did not derive any revenue from operations to offset our business development expenses.  Our loss for the year ended December 31, 2010 amounted to $5,709,559, net of a gain on change in fair value of derivative liability of $3,211,356.  The loss primarily consists of compensation (including non-cash warrant compensation $6,995,084, and other cash compensation, including consulting, of $870,753; as well as non-cash general and administrative charges of $309,000 issued as common stock, rent of $70,011 and travel of $93,227.
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
During 2011, the Company has primarily financed its activities from sales of capital stock of the Company and from short-term loans from related parties.  A significant portion of the funds raised from the sale of capital stock has been used to cover working capital needs such as office expenses and various consulting and professional fees, as well as our initial acquisition and installation of charging stations.
 
 
12

 
 
For the year ended December 31, 2011, $2,499,999 of cash provided by finance activities; $466,515 was invested in charging stations and other depreciable property.  Our accumulated deficit since inception (including liability for embedded derivatives) is $13,650,817.  Such cash use and accumulated losses have resulted primarily from costs related to various consulting and professional fees and costs incurred in connection with capital transactions (embedded derivatives).

Historically, the Company has been dependent on debt and equity raised from individual investors to sustain its operations.  The Company’s product has not been placed in enough locations to generate significant revenue.  The Company has incurred losses and cash for operating activities since inception.  In November, 2011, the Company entered into a stock purchase agreement for 2.5 million shares of common stock in exchange for $2.5 million in cash.  In accordance with this agreement, as of December 31, 2011, the Company issued 1,500,000 shares of common stock at $1.00 per share. The agreement calls for the issuance of 500,000 additional shares to be issued in March of 2012, funding of which was received on April 3, 2012, and 500,000 shares to be issued in June of 2012, each at $1.00 per share.  Although there can be no assurance, management believes that the Company has sufficient resources to fund the Company’s operations through at least December 31, 2012.
 
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
 
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements, financings, or other relationships with unconsolidated entities or other persons, also known as “special purpose entities” (SPEs).
 
Critical Accounting Policies
 
a. Basis of presentation
 
The Company’s consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).
 
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries.  All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
 
b. Development stage company
 
The Company is a development stage company as defined by ASC 915-10 “Development Stage Entities.” The Company is still devoting substantially all of its efforts on establishing the business and developing revenue generating opportunities through its planned principal operations. In the latter half of 2011, the Company’s principal sales operations began however the Company did not recognize significant revenues during the period. All losses accumulated since inception have been considered as part of the Company’s development stage activities.  

c.  Use of Estimates
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
d.   Discount on debt
 
The Company allocated the proceeds received from convertible debt instruments between the underlying debt instruments and has recorded the conversion feature as a liability in accordance with paragraph 815-15-25-1 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. The conversion feature and certain other features that are considered embedded derivative instruments, such as a conversion reset provision have been recorded at their fair value within the terms of paragraph 815-15-25-1 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification as its fair value can be separated from the convertible note and its conversion is independent of the underlying note value. The conversion liability is marked to market each reporting period with the resulting gains or losses shown on the Statement of Operations.
 
 
13

 
 
e. Derivative instruments
 
The Company evaluates its convertible debt, warrants or other contracts to determine if those contracts or embedded components of those contracts qualify as derivatives to be separately accounted for in accordance with paragraph 810-10-05-4 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification and paragraph 815-40-25 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. The result of this accounting treatment is that the fair value of the embedded derivative is marked-to-market each balance sheet date and recorded as a liability. In the event that the fair value is recorded as a liability, the change in fair value is recorded in the Statement of Operations as other income or expense. Upon conversion or exercise of a derivative instrument, the instrument is marked to fair value at the conversion date and then that fair value is reclassified to equity.
 
In circumstances where the embedded conversion option in a convertible instrument is required to be bifurcated and there are also other embedded derivative instruments in the convertible instrument that are required to be bifurcated, the bifurcated derivative instruments are accounted for as a single, compound derivative instrument.
 
The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is re-assessed at the end of each reporting period. Equity instruments that are initially classified as equity that become subject to reclassification are reclassified to liability at the fair value of the instrument on the reclassification date. Derivative instrument liabilities will be classified in the balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether or not net-cash settlement of the derivative instrument is expected within 12 months of the balance sheet date.
 
f. Fair value of financial instruments
 
The Company follows paragraph 825-10-50-10 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for disclosures about fair value of its financial instruments and paragraph 820-10-35-37 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“Paragraph 820-10-35-37”) to measure the fair value of its financial instruments.  Paragraph 820-10-35-37 establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP), and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. To increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements and related disclosures, Paragraph 820-10-35-37 establishes a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three (3) broad levels.  The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs.  The three (3) levels of fair value hierarchy defined by Paragraph 820-10-35-37 are described below:
 
Level 1
Quoted market prices available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date.
   
Level 2
Pricing inputs other than quoted prices in active markets included in Level 1, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date.
   
Level 3
Pricing inputs that are generally observable inputs and not corroborated by market data.
 
The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities, such as cash, prepaid expenses, accounts payable and accrued expenses, approximate their fair values because of the short maturity of these instruments. The Company’s notes payable approximates the fair value of such instrument based upon management’s best estimate of interest rates that would be available to the Company for similar financial arrangement at December 31, 2011.
 
The Company revalues its derivative liability at every reporting period and recognizes gains or losses in the consolidated statement of operations that are attributable to the change in the fair value of the derivative liability.  The Company has no other assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis.
 
 
14

 
 
 g. Revenue recognition
 
The Company applies paragraph 605-10-S99-1 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for revenue recognition.  The Company will recognize revenue when it is realized or realizable and earned.  The Company considers revenue realized or realizable and earned when all of the following criteria are met: (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (ii) the product has been shipped or the services have been rendered to the customer, (iii) the sales price is fixed or determinable, and (iv) collectability is reasonably assured.
 
h. Stock-based compensation for obtaining employee services
 
The Company accounts for equity instruments issued to employees and directors pursuant to paragraphs 718-10-30-6 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification, whereby all transactions in which services are the consideration received for the issuance of equity instruments are accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instrument issued, whichever is more readily measurable. The measurement date used to determine the fair value of the equity instrument issued is the earlier of the date on which the performance is complete or the date on which it is probably that performance will occur.
 
The Company’s policy is to recognize compensation cost for awards with service conditions and when applicable a graded vesting schedule on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for the entire award.
 
i. Equity instruments issued to parties other than employees for acquiring goods or services
 
The Company accounts for equity instruments issued to parties other than employees for acquiring goods or services under guidance of section 505-50-30 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“FASB ASC Section 505-50-30”).  Pursuant to FASB ASC Section 505-50-30, all transactions in which goods or services are the consideration received for the issuance of equity instruments are accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instrument issued, whichever is more reliably measurable.  The measurement date used to determine the fair value of the equity instrument issued is the earlier of the date on which the performance is complete or the date on which it is probable that performance will occur.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
 
In December 2011, an accounting standard update was issued to enhance disclosures and provide converged disclosures in U.S. GAAP and IFRS about financial instruments and derivative instruments that are either offset on the statement of financial position or subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar agreement, irrespective of whether they are offset on the statement of financial position. Entities will be required to provide both net and gross information for those assets and liabilities in order to enhance comparability between entities that prepare their financial statements on the basis of U.S. GAAP and entities that prepare their financial statements on the basis of IFRS. The Company is required to adopt this standard update on January 1, 2013. The Company is evaluating the impact that this standard update will have on its consolidated financial statements.
 
A variety of proposed or otherwise potential accounting standards are currently under study by standard-setting organizations and various regulatory agencies. Because of the tentative and preliminary nature of these proposed standards, management has not determined whether implementation of such proposed standards would be material to our consolidated financial statements.
 
Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective accounting pronouncements, if adopted, would have a material effect on the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

ITEM 8.         FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA
 
 
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
 
 
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of
Car Charging Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries
(A development stage company)
 
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Car Charging Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries, a development stage company, (the "Company") as of December 31, 2011 and 2010 and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity (deficit) and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2011 and for the period from inception (September 3, 2009) to December 31, 2011. Car Charging Group, Inc and Subsidiaries' management is responsible for these consolidated financial statements. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. The consolidated financial statements for the period from inception (September 3, 2009) to December 31, 2009, were audited by other auditors and our opinion, in so far as it relates to cumulative amounts included for such prior periods, is based solely on the report of other such auditors.
 
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purposes of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
In our opinion, based on our audits and the report of other auditors, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Car Charging Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2011 and 2010 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period then ended, and for the period from inception (September 3, 2009) to December 31, 2011, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

CAR CHARGING GROUP, INC.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
 
 
1.        ORGANIZATION
 
Car Charging Group Inc. (“CCGI”) was incorporated on October 3, 2006 under the laws of the State of Nevada as New Image Concepts, Inc.  On November 20, 2009, New Image Concepts, Inc. changed its name to Car Charging Group, Inc.
 
Car Charging, Inc., was incorporated as a Delaware corporation on September 3, 2009.  Car Charging Inc. was created to develop electric charging service facilities for the electric vehicle (EV) automobile market.  Pursuant to its business plan, Car Charging Inc. (or its affiliates) acquires and installs EV charging stations, and shares servicing fees received from customers that use the charging stations with the property owner(s), on a property by property basis.   Additionally, the Company sells hardware to others.  Car Charging, Inc., therefore, enters into individual arrangements for this purpose with various property owners, which may include, cities, counties, garage operators, hospitals, multi-family properties, shopping-malls and facility owner/operators.
 
During February, 2011, the Shareholders and Board of Directors authorized a decrease of our  issued and outstanding common stock, in the form of a reverse stock-split, on a one-for-fifty (1:50) basis (the “Reverse Stock-Split”).  There was no change to the authorized amount of shares or to the par value. All share and per share amounts included in the consolidated financial statements have been adjusted to reflect the effects of the Reverse Stock-Split.
 
Merger
 
On December 7, 2009, CCGI entered into a Share Exchange Agreement (the “Agreement”) among CCGI and Car Charging, Inc. (“CCI”)
 
Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, CCGI agreed to issue an aggregate of 10,000,000 restricted shares of CCGI's common stock and 10,000,000 shares of its Series A Convertible Preferred Stock to the CCI Shareholders in exchange for all of the issued and outstanding shares of CCI.
 
The merger was accounted for as a reverse acquisition and recapitalization. CCI is the acquirer for accounting purposes and CCGI is the issuer. Accordingly, CCGI’s historical financial statements for periods prior to the acquisition become those of the acquirer retroactively restated for the equivalent number of shares issued in the merger. Operations prior to the merger are those of CCI.  From inception on September 3, 2009 until the merger date, December 7, 2009, CCI had minimal operations with no revenues. Earnings per share for the period prior to the merger are restated to reflect the equivalent number of shares outstanding.
 
The consolidated financial statements consist of CCGI and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, collectively referred to herein as the “Company” or “Car Charging.” All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
 
2.        SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
 
The accompanying consolidated financial statements and related notes have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for financial statements and with the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for Form 10-K.

DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY

The Company is a development stage company as defined by ASC 915-10 “Development Stage Entities.” The Company is still devoting substantially all of its efforts on establishing the business and developing revenue generating opportunities through its planned principal operations. In the latter half of 2011, the Company’s principal sales operations began however the Company did not recognize significant revenues during the period. All losses accumulated since inception have been considered as part of the Company’s development stage activities.
 
LIQUIDITY

Historically, the Company has been dependent on debt and equity raised from individual investors to sustain its operations.  The Company’s product has not been placed in enough locations to generate significant revenue.  The Company has incurred losses and used cash for operating activities since inception.  As of December 31, 2011, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $13,650,817.  In November, 2011, the Company entered into a stock purchase agreement for 2.5 million shares of common stock in exchange for $2.5 million in cash.  In accordance with this agreement, the Company issued 1,500,000 shares of common stock at $1.00 per share. The agreement calls for the issuance of 500,000 additional shares to be issued in March of 2012 and 500,000 shares to be issued in June of 2012, each at $1.00 per share. The proceeds from the issuance of the March share subscription were received on April 3, 2012. Although there can be no assurance, management believes that the Company has sufficient resources to fund the Company’s operations through at least December 31, 2012.

USE OF ESTIMATES
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and reporting period.  Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.

PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries.  All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
 
The company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents in both the Consolidated Balance Sheets and Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. The Company has cash on deposits in several financial institutions which, at times, may be in excess of FDIC insurance limits.  Management has deemed this a normal business risk.
  
EV CHARGING STATIONS
 
EV Charging Stations represents the depreciable cost of charging devices that have been installed on the premises of participating owner/operator properties.  They are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided on the straight-line basis over an estimated useful life of three years. Upon sale, replacement or retirement, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is reflected in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.  The Company held approximately $185,000 in EV charging stations that were not placed in service as of December 31, 2011. The Company will begin depreciating this equipment when installation is substantially complete. Depreciation for the years ended December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010 was $123,934 and $11,242, respectively.
  
In December 2010, management determined that EV Charging Stations that were previously recorded as inventory would be used for future installations and reclassified $72,768 in inventory to EV Charging Stations.  While the Company’s primary strategy is to earn revenue through the installation and maintenance of EV Charging stations, the Company will sell EV Charging stations on occasion when the opportunity presents itself.
 
 
F-7

 
 
 
OFFICE AND COMPUTER EQUIPMENT
 
Office and computer equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided on the straight-line basis over an estimated useful life of five years. Upon sale or retirement of furniture and fixtures, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is reflected in Consolidated Statements of Operations. Depreciation for the years ended December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010 was $9,437, and $4,932, respectively.
 
IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS
 
The Company has adopted paragraph 360-10-35-17 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for its long-lived assets.  The Company’s long-lived assets, which include EV Charging Stations, office and computer equipment and security deposit, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable.
 
The Company assesses the recoverability of its long-lived assets by comparing the projected undiscounted net cash flows associated with the related long-lived asset or group of long-lived assets over their remaining estimated useful lives against their respective carrying amounts.  Impairment, if any, is based on the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value of those assets.  Fair value is generally determined using the asset’s expected future discounted cash flows or market value, if readily determinable.  If long-lived assets are determined to be recoverable, but the newly determined remaining estimated useful lives are shorter than originally estimated, the net book values of the long-lived assets are depreciated over the newly determined remaining estimated useful lives.  The Company determined that there were no impairments of long-lived assets as of December 31, 2011 or December 31, 2010.
 
DISCOUNT ON DEBT
 
The Company allocated the proceeds received from convertible debt instruments between the underlying debt instruments and has recorded the conversion feature as a liability in accordance with paragraph 815-15-25-1 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. The conversion feature and certain other features that are considered embedded derivative instruments, such as a conversion reset provision have been recorded at their fair value within the terms of paragraph 815-15-25-1 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification as its fair value can be separated from the convertible note and its conversion is independent of the underlying note value. The conversion liability is marked to market each reporting period with the resulting gains or losses shown on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
 
DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS
 
The Company evaluates its convertible debt, warrants or other contracts to determine if those contracts or embedded components of those contracts qualify as derivatives to be separately accounted for in accordance with paragraph 810-10-05-4 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification and paragraph 815-40-25 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. The result of this accounting treatment is that the fair value of the embedded derivative is marked-to-market each balance sheet date and recorded as a liability. In the event that the fair value is recorded as a liability, the change in fair value is recorded in the Statement of Operations as other income or expense. Upon conversion or exercise of a derivative instrument, the instrument is marked to fair value at the conversion date and then that fair value is reclassified to equity.
 
In circumstances where the embedded conversion option in a convertible instrument is required to be bifurcated and there are also other embedded derivative instruments in the convertible instrument that are required to be bifurcated, the bifurcated derivative instruments are accounted for as a single, compound derivative instrument. 
 
The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is re-assessed at the end of each reporting period. Equity instruments that are initially classified as equity that become subject to reclassification are reclassified to liability at the fair value of the instrument on the reclassification date. Derivative instrument liabilities will be classified in the balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether or not net-cash settlement of the derivative instrument is expected within 12 months of the balance sheet date.
 
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
 
U.S. GAAP for fair value measurements establishes a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three levels. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted market prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). Level 2 inputs are inputs, other than quoted prices included within Level 1, which are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs.
 
 
F-8

 
 
 
The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities, such as cash, deposits and advanced commissions, prepaid expenses, accounts payable and accrued expenses, approximate their fair values because of the short maturity of these instruments. The Company’s convertible notes payable approximates the fair value of such instrument based upon management’s best estimate of interest rates that would be available to the Company for similar financial arrangement at December 31, 2011 and 2010.
 
The Company revalues its derivative liability at every reporting period and recognizes gains or losses in the consolidated statement of operations that are attributable to the change in the fair value of the derivative liability.  The Company has no other assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis.
 
REVENUE RECOGNITION
 
The Company applies paragraph 605-10-S99-1 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for revenue recognition.  The Company will recognize revenue when it is realized or realizable and earned.  The Company considers revenue realized or realizable and earned when all of the following criteria are met: (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (ii) the services have been rendered to the customer, (iii) the sales price is fixed or determinable, and (iv) collectability is reasonably assured.  Accordingly, when a customer completes use of a charging station, the service can be deemed rendered and revenue may be recognized
 
RECLASSIFICATION
 
During the year ended December 31, 2011, Management revised the Company’s operating plan in response to customer requests to purchase charging stations that would be provided and serviced by the Company.  Management believes that this type of sales activity will continue and will continue to function as a reseller of charging stations.  Accordingly, a sale of equipment that was classified in other income (expense) in the second quarter was reclassified to sales revenue.

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION FOR OBTAINING EMPLOYEE SERVICES
 
The Company accounts for equity instruments issued to employees and directors pursuant to paragraphs 718-10-30-6 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification, whereby all transactions in which services are the consideration received for the issuance of equity instruments are accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instrument issued, whichever is more readily measurable. The measurement date used to determine the fair value of the equity instrument issued is the earlier of the date on which the performance is complete or the date on which it is probably that performance will occur.
 
The Company’s policy is to recognize compensation cost for awards with service conditions and when applicable a graded vesting schedule on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for the entire award.
 
EQUITY INSTRUMENTS ISSUED TO PARTIES OTHER THAN EMPLOYEES FOR ACQUIRING GOODS OR SERVICES
 
The Company accounts for equity instruments issued to parties other than employees for acquiring goods or services under guidance of section 505-50-30 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“FASB ASC Section 505-50-30”).  Pursuant to FASB ASC Section 505-50-30, all transactions in which goods or services are the consideration received for the issuance of equity instruments are accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instrument issued, whichever is more reliably measurable.  The measurement date used to determine the fair value of the equity instrument issued is the earlier of the date on which the performance is complete or the date on which it is probable that performance will occur.
 
ADVERTISING
 
The Company expenses non-direct advertising as incurred.  Total advertising expense for the years ending December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010 was $27,411 and $-0-, respectively.  
 
 
F-9

 
 
INCOME TAXES
 
The Company follows Section 740-10-30 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification, which requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns.  Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are based on the differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse.  Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance to the extent management concludes it is more likely than not that the assets will not be realized.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.  The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the Statements of Operations in the period that includes the enactment date.
 
The Company adopted section 740-10-25 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“Section 740-10-25”). Section 740-10-25.addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements.  Under Section 740-10-25, the Company may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position.  The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position should be measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty percent (50%) likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement.  Section 740-10-25 also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties on income taxes, accounting in interim periods and requires increased disclosures.  The Company had no material adjustments to its liabilities for unrecognized income tax benefits according to the provisions of Section 740-10-25.
 
NET LOSS PER COMMON SHARE
 
Net loss per common share is computed pursuant to section 260-10-45 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification.  Basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period.  Diluted net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock and potentially outstanding shares of common stock during the period.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
 
The Company follows subtopic 450-20 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification to report accounting for contingencies.  Liabilities for loss contingencies arising from claims, assessments, litigation, fines and penalties and other sources are recorded when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the assessment can be reasonably estimated.
 
CASH FLOWS REPORTING
 
The Company adopted paragraph 230-10-45-24 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for cash flows reporting, classifies cash receipts and payments according to whether they stem from operating, investing, or financing activities and provides definitions of each category, and uses the indirect or reconciliation method (“Indirect method”) as defined by paragraph 230-10-45-25 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification to report net cash flow from operating activities by adjusting net income to reconcile it to net cash flow from operating activities by removing the effects of (a) all deferrals of past operating cash receipts and payments and all accruals of expected future operating cash receipts and payments and (b) all items that are included in net income that do not affect operating cash receipts and payments.
 
 
F-10

 
 
SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
 
The Company follows the guidance in Section 855-10-50 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for the disclosure of subsequent events. The Company will evaluate subsequent events through the date when the financial statements were issued.  Pursuant to ASU 2010-09 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification, the Company as an SEC filer considers its financial statements issued when they are widely distributed to users, such as through filing them on EDGAR.
 
RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
 
In January 2010, the FASB amended guidance now codified as FASB ASC Topic 810, “Consolidation”.  FASB ASC Topic 810 changes the accounting and reporting for minority interests, which will be re-characterized as non-controlling interests and classified as a component of equity. The amendment of FASB ASC Topic 810-10 establishes the accounting and reporting guidance for non-controlling interests and changes in ownership interests of a subsidiary. FASB ASC Topic 810 is effective for us on a prospective basis for business combinations with an acquisition date beginning in the first quarter of fiscal year 2010. The adoption of FASB ASC Topic 810 as amended did not have an impact on our consolidated financial statements.
 
In January 2010, the FASB amended its guidance now codified as FASB ASC Topic 505-20, “Equity – Stock Dividends and Stock Splits,” to clarify that the stock portion of a distribution to shareholders that allows them to elect to receive cash or stock with a limit on the amount of cash that will be distributed is not a stock dividend for purposes of applying Topics 505 and 260. These provisions of FASB ASC Topic 505 are effective for interim and annual periods ending after December 15, 2009 and, accordingly, are effective for us for the current fiscal reporting period. The adoption of this pronouncement did not have an impact on our financial condition or results of operations as we do not currently have distributions that allow shareholders such an election.
 
 In January 2010, the FASB issued authoritative guidance which requires new disclosures and clarifies existing disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. Specifically, the changes require disclosure of transfers into and out of “Level 1” and “Level 2” (as defined in the accounting guidance) fair value measurements, and also require more detailed disclosure about the activity within “Level 3” (as defined) fair value measurements. This guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, with the exception of the disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances and settlements of Level 3 assets and liabilities, which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010. As this guidance only requires expanded disclosures, the adoption did not impact the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
 
In December 2010, the FASB issued amendments that modify Step 1 of the goodwill impairment test for reporting units with zero or negative carrying amounts. For those reporting units, an entity is required to perform Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test if it is more likely than not that a goodwill impairment exists. In determining whether it is more likely than not that goodwill impairment exists, an entity should consider whether there are any adverse qualitative factors indicating that impairment may exist. The qualitative factors are consistent with the existing guidance, which requires that goodwill of a reporting unit be tested for impairment between annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount. These amendments are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2010. Early adoption is not permitted. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
 
In December 2011, an accounting standard update was issued to enhance disclosures and provide converged disclosures in U.S. GAAP and IFRS about financial instruments and derivative instruments that are either offset on the statement of financial position or subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar agreement, irrespective of whether they are offset on the statement of financial position. Entities will be required to provide both net and gross information for those assets and liabilities in order to enhance comparability between entities that prepare their financial statements on the basis of U.S. GAAP and entities that prepare their financial statements on the basis of IFRS. The Company is required to adopt this standard update on January 1, 2013. The Company is evaluating the impact that this standard update will have on its consolidated financial statements.

A variety of proposed or otherwise potential accounting standards are currently under study by standard-setting organizations and various regulatory agencies. Because of the tentative and preliminary nature of these proposed standards, management has not determined whether implementation of such proposed standards would be material to our consolidated financial statements.
 
Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective accounting pronouncements, if adopted, would have a material effect on the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

3.        CONVERTIBLE NOTES PAYABLE
 
Convertible notes payable bear interest of 6% annually which were payable upon maturity on September 25, 2011. The notes have a conversion price of $.0025.  At December 31, 2011, $3,750 of these notes were past due and remain outstanding and on February 29, 2012, were convertible to 1.5 million shares of common stock.
 
During June, 2010, $5,000 of these notes was converted to 40,000 common shares.
 
During July, 2010, $10,000 of these notes was converted to 80,000 common shares.

During January, 2011, $4,000 of these notes was converted to 32,000 common shares.

During March, 2011, $50,000 of these notes together with $4,441 of accrued interest were converted to 21,776,544 common shares

During May and June of 2011, $4,000 of these notes were converted to 1,600,000 common shares.

During July, 2011, $12,500 of these notes were converted to 5,000,000 common shares.

During September, 2011, $10,750 of these notes were converted to 4,300,000 common shares.

On February 29, 2012, the final $3,750 of convertible notes and accrued interest were converted into 1,529,036 common shares.

Subsequent to this transaction, there are no outstanding convertible notes.
 
Derivative analysis

Upon their origination, these notes had full reset adjustments based upon the issuance of equity securities by the Company in the future, they were subjected to derivative liability treatment under Section 815-40-15 of the FASB Accounting Standard Codification (“Section 815-40-15”) (formerly FASB Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) 07-5). These notes have been measured at fair value using a lattice model at each reporting period with gains and losses from the change in fair value of derivative liabilities recognized on the consolidated statement of operations.  The convertible notes gave rise to a derivative liability which was recorded as a discount to the notes upon origination.
 
The embedded derivative of these notes was re-measured at December 31, 2010 yielding a gain on change in fair value of the derivative of $3,097,216, net of conversions to common stock, for the year ended December 31, 2010 and a loss of $5,799,110 for the period from September 3, 2009 through December 31, 2009.  The derivative value of these notes at December 31, 2010, yielded a derivative liability at fair value of $2,701,894.   During the year ended December 31, 2010, the Company converted $15,000 in convertible notes payable to 120,000 shares of common stock. The conversion resulted in a reduction of the derivative liability and increase to paid-in capital of approximately $553,000.

In March, 2011, the Company issued 21,776,544 common shares pursuant to the conversion of $50,000 in notes payable together with $4,441 of accrued interest.  This conversion was negotiated to mitigate the effect of the 1:50 Reverse-Split on the note conversion price which Management determined could have significantly dilutive effects due to its resets and toxic convertible features.

In March, 2011, agreements between the Company and the remaining note holders to fix the conversion rate stated in the convertible notes effectively removed the embedded derivative from the convertible notes.   Accordingly, as future conversions were no longer subject to reset, the derivative liability related to the notes was adjusted to $0 and the Company recognized a gain on the change in value of the derivative liability of $2,701,894 upon execution

4.        COMMON STOCK EQUIVALENTS 
 
Subscription warrants
 
In connection with the closing of the Share Exchange Agreement, on December 7, 2009 the Company entered into a Subscription Agreement for the sale of 61,333 units of securities of the Company aggregating $920,000. Each unit consisted of one share of common stock and a warrant to purchase one share of Company’s common stock exercisable at $.60 per share.  The exercise price was subject to a full ratchet reset feature. 16,667 of these warrants were cancelled in 2010.  The remaining warrants were adjusted due to a sale of common stock for cash at $3.00 per share, resulting in 446,665 warrants outstanding. The fair value of these warrants granted, were estimated on the date of grant, and recorded as a derivative liability. The derivative was re-measured at December 31, 2010 using their reset value yielding a gain on the change in fair value of $225,579 for the year ended December 31, 2010 and a loss in fair value of $1,182,375 during the period from September 3, 2009 through December 31, 2009, the outstanding liability for the related derivative liability was $636,220 at December 31, 2010. As further disclosed in Note 5, in October 2011, the warrant holders agreed to the cancellation of their outstanding warrants in exchange for 565,000 shares of common stock.  This agreement effectively eliminated the remaining derivative liability associated with these warrants of approximately $80,000.

As of May 5, 2010, 3,834 additional units aggregating $57,500 were issued under a private placement.  Each unit consisted of one share of common stock and a warrant to purchase one share of Company’s common stock exercisable at $30.00 per share.  The related warrants issued in this place did not contain a full ratchet reset.
 
In connection with the closing of the Share Exchange Agreement, on December 7, 2009 the Company also issued warrants to purchase 500,000 shares of Company’s common stock exercisable at $.60 per share.  The exercise price was subject to a full ratchet reset feature. These warrants were adjusted due to a sale of common stock for cash at $3.00 per share, resulting in 100,000 warrants. The derivative for these 100,000 warrants was re-measured at December 31, 2010 yielding a derivative liability of $129,749, resulting in a gain on change in fair value for the year ended December 31, 2010 of $15,589 and a loss in fair value of $1,182,375 during the period from September 3, 2009 through December 31, 2009. The outstanding liability for the related derivative liability was $129,749 at December 31, 2010. In October 2011, the Company executed an agreement with the warrant holder which eliminated the reset feature of these warrants. As a result of this agreement, the derivative liability associated with the reset is no longer present and the gain on the remaining fair value of approximately $17,500 was recognized.
 
Compensation warrants
 
On April 1, 2010, the Company issued 55,000 warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock, 5,000 at an exercise price of $15.00 and 50,000 warrants exercisable at $30.00 per share. 

On April 12, 2010, the Company issued 5,000 warrants to purchase shares exercisable at $42.50 per share.  The fair value of these warrants, estimated on the date of grant, was recorded as a expense for consulting services of $32,355.

On April 27, 2010, the Company issued warrants to purchase 440,000 shares of Company’s common stock exercisable at $15 per share. The exercise price of these 440,000 shares was subject to a full ratchet reset feature.  These warrants were adjusted in June 2011 due to a sale of common stock for cash at $3.00 per share, resulting in 2,200,000 warrants.  The fair value of all of these warrants, estimated on the date of grant, was recorded as compensation expense of $3,099,009.  
 
On August 25, 2010, the Company issued 1,033,433 warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock exercisable at $15 per share.  The exercise price of these warrants was subject to a full ratchet reset feature. These warrants were adjusted in June 2011 due to a sale of common stock for cash at $3.00 per share, resulting in 5,167,565 warrants.

On September 23, 2011, the Company issued 100,000 warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock exercisable at $3.00 per share.  The exercise price was subject to a full ratchet reset feature. As a result, the fair value of these warrants, estimated on the date of grant, was recorded as a derivative liability and related discount of short-term notes of $20,751. On October 24, 2011, the warrants were amended to remove the ratchet feature and the exercise price was reduced to a $1.00 per share. The note was paid in full in November 2011 and the remaining discount recorded as interest expense.

On November 15, 2011, the Company issued 250,000 warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock exercisable at $1.50 per share.  The fair value of all of the warrants, estimated on the date of grant, was recorded as consulting compensation expense of $77,993.
 
In October 2011, the Company executed agreements with certain employees and consultants which eliminated the reset feature of 7,467,165 warrants. As of December 31, 2011 all outstanding warrants have fixed exercise prices.

The fair value of all warrant issuances was computed using the Lattice Model, incorporating transaction details such as stock price, contractual terms, maturity and risk free rates, as well as assumptions about future financing, volatility and holder behavior.

Due to the reset feature of these warrants, they represented a derivative liability of approximately $80,000 at the time of the exchange.

On the measurement date, the fair value of the common stock issued was $1.00 per share and the warrants had a combined fair market value of $80,000. The exchange resulted in the Company recording a loss on the conversion of $485,000, which was recorded as a Loss on Exchange in the Other Income (Expense) section of the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

In November, 2011, the Company entered into a stock purchase agreement for 2.5 million shares of common stock in exchange for $2.5 million in cash.  In accordance with this agreement, the Company issued 1,500,000 shares of common stock at $1.00 per share.

Subsequent to this transaction, there are no outstanding convertible notes.

6.        INCOME TAXES
 
Deferred tax assets
 
Income Taxes
 
No provision has been recorded for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 since the company had net losses and the increase in the deferred tax asset was offset by the valuation allowance.
 
Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes.  Significant components of the Company’s net deferred income taxes are as follows:

At December 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company had a net operating loss carry forwards for both federal and state purposes of approximately $3.6 million and $1.9 million, respectively, which may be offset against future taxable income through 2031.
 
The Company has determined that a valuation for the entire income tax provision is required. A valuation allowance is required if, based on the weight of evidence, it is more likely than not that some or the entire portion of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. After consideration of all the evidence, both positive and negative, management has determined that a full valuation allowance is necessary to reduce the deferred tax asset to zero, the amount that will more likely not be realized. The change in the valuation allowance for the current year is $259,000.

In May 2007, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) FIN 48-1 “Definition of Settlement in FASB Interpretation No. 48” (FSP FIN 48-1). Now codified FASB ASC 740-10-25-9 provides guidance on how to determine whether a tax position is effectively settled for purpose of recognizing previously unrecognized tax benefits. FSP FIN 48-1 is effective retroactively to January 1, 2007. The implementation of this standard did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial position or results of operation.

8.        COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
 
The company has entered into several contracts that obligate it to office space lease payments and equipment acquisition. The following is a summary of these commitments:
 
 a)  
At March 31, 2011, the Company entered into a three (3) year lease for office space at approximately $132,480  per year, with an option to renew for an additional three years at approximately $137,655 per year. In the fourth quarter of 2011, the office owner space declared bankruptcy and the Company has not been required to pay any rent payments.  However, the Company has continued to accrue monthly rent based on the contracted amount.  In addition, the Company has written off the related $34,000 security deposit, as it is not expected to be recovered.  The Company now treats the lease as a month-to-month lease.  Total rent expense for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 was $143,461 and $70,011, respectively.
 
b)
Pursuant to the terms of a master agreement, the Company has committed to purchase 250 charging stations over the year, 25 units per month, for an amount in excess of $3,100 per unit.  If the Company fails to take delivery of the total specified number units, it will be responsible for reimbursement of certain price discounts on units previously received.
   
c)  The Company has a lawsuit pending for past due fees due to a consulting firm in the amount of $41,000.  Although the outcome of this matter is uncertain, the Company has reserved for this amount in accounts payable and accrued expenses at December 31, 2011.
 
9.        SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
 
The Company has evaluated all events that occurred after the balance sheet date through the date these financial statements were issued.

On January 16, 2012, the Company, in connection with the hire of a Chief Operating Officer, issued 1,000,000 warrants, at an exercise price of $1.75 per warrant that vest over a three year period, subject to continued employment.

On January, 17, 2012, the Company, in connection with a consulting agreement, issued 150,000 warrants at an exercise price of $2.25 per warrant and only 100,000 vest immediately.

On February 6, 2012, the Company entered into a stock purchase agreement to sell 1,000,000 shares of Preferred stock, at a per share price of $1.00 along with option to purchase an additional 1,500,000 shares of Preferred stock at an exercise price of  $1.00 per Share in return for $1,000,000.  The series and terms of the Preferred stock have yet to be determined.  As part of the stock purchase agreement, the Company will receive consulting services in developing business relationships and obtaining charging station locations in Romania in exchange for 2% of the total outstanding common stock in a Company subsidiary, Car Charging Europe.  This subsidiary is in the process of being formed.  Additionally, if the Purchaser exercises their options in the initial stock purchase agreement, they will receive additional payment for their consulting services for developing business relationships and obtaining charging station locations in Greece in the form of 3% of the total outstanding common stock of Car Charging Europe, upon formation of the Company.

On February 27, 2012, the Company, in connection with the hire of an interim Chief Financial Officer and Director, issued 75,000 shares of restricted common stock.

In March and April 2012, a former officer and director of the Company filed declaratory actions against the Company relating to compensatory matters, certain warrant exercise rights and the termination of his employment. No determination can be made as to the outcome of this matter at this time.  Management believes these suits to be without merit and intends to vigorously defend itself.  
  
In April, 2011, the Company was awarded a $1,000,000 grant from the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania’s Department of Environmental Protection to help develop electric vehicle infrastructure on the Pennsylvania Turnpike. The grant is subject to the finalization of certain documentation.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
 
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
 
Pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”), the Company carried out an evaluation, with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”) (the Company’s principal financial and accounting officer), of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined under Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, the Company’s CEO and CFO concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the Company’s CEO and CFO, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
 
Management's Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.
 
The management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting for the Company. Our internal control system was designed to, in general, provide reasonable assurance to the Company’s management and board regarding the preparation and fair presentation of published financial statements, but because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
 
Our management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2011. The framework used by management in making that assessment was the criteria set forth in the document entitled “ Internal Control – Integrated Framework” issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on that assessment, management concluded that, during the period covered by this report, such internal controls and procedures were not effective as of December 31, 2011 and that a material weakness in ICFR existed as more fully described below.
 
As defined by Auditing Standard No. 5, “An Audit of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting that is Integrated with an Audit of Financial Statements and Related Independence Rule and Conforming Amendments,” established by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board ("PCAOB"), a material weakness is a deficiency or combination of deficiencies that result in a more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected. In connection with the assessment described above, management identified the following control deficiencies that represent material weaknesses as of December 31, 2011:
 
(1) Lack of an independent audit committee or audit committee financial expert.  Although our board of directors serves as the audit committee it has no independent directors. Further, we have not identified an audit committee financial expert on our board of directors.  These factors are counter to corporate governance practices as defined by the various stock exchanges and may lead to less supervision over management.
 
Our management determined that this deficiency constituted material weaknesses.
 
Due to our small size, we are not able to immediately take any action to remediate this material weakness. However, an audit committee will be formed when circumstances permit. Notwithstanding the assessment that our ICFR was not effective and that there was a material weakness as identified herein, we believe that our consolidated financial statements contained in this Annual Report fairly present our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the years covered thereby in all material respects.

This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management's report was not subject to attestation by the Company's registered public accounting firm as we are a smaller reporting company and not required to provide the report.
 
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
 
No change in our system of internal control over financial reporting occurred during the fourth quarter of the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

ITEM 13.     CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE.
 
During 2011 and 2010, the Company paid consulting fees to a company that is owned by its Chief Executive Officer amounting to $100,000 and $206,000, respectively. These fees were paid pursuant to the terms of a two-year support services contract that was in place prior to the CEO’s employment.  In addition, in 2010, the Company granted that entity 5,633,335 warrants, after reset adjustment in 2011, for services valued at $4,951,114 upon issuance.  No warrants were issued for services in 2011.

Michael D. Farkas has long-standing relationships with the principals of Ze’evi Group Inc. and Gravity Capital Partners Ltd.  He has had numerous financial dealings with them over the years, including personal and business loans and investments.
 
Director Independence
 
Because our common stock is not currently listed on a national securities exchange, we have used the definition of “independence” of The NASDAQ Stock Market to make this determination. NASDAQ Listing Rule 5605(a)(2) provides that an “independent director” is a person other than an officer or employee of the Company or any other individual having a relationship which, in the opinion of the Company’s board of directors, would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director. The NASDAQ listing rules provide that a director cannot be considered independent if:
 
·  
the director is, or at any time during the past three years was, an employee of the company;
·  
the director or a family member of the director accepted any compensation from the company in excess of $120,000 during any period of 12 consecutive months within the three years preceding the independence determination (subject to certain exclusions, including, among other things, compensation for board or board committee service);
·  
a family member of the director is, or at any time during the past three years was, an executive officer of the company;
·  
the director or a family member of the director is a partner in, controlling stockholder of, or an executive officer of an entity to which the company made, or from which the company received, payments in the current or any of the past three fiscal years that exceed 5% of the recipient’s consolidated gross revenue for that year or $200,000, whichever is greater (subject to certain exclusions);
·  
the director or a family member of the director is employed as an executive officer of an entity where, at any time during the past three years, any of the executive officers of the company served on the compensation committee of such other entity; or the director or a family member of the director is a current partner of the company’s outside auditor, or at any time during the past three years was a partner or employee of the company’s outside auditor, and who worked on the company’s audit.
 
We do not have any independent directors. We do not have an audit committee, compensation committee or nominating committee.
 
ITEM 14.       PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTANT FEES AND SERVICES
 
Audit Fees
 
For the Company’s fiscal years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, we were billed approximately $75,500 and $62,340 for professional services rendered for the audit and review of our financial statements.
 
Audit Related Fees
 
There were no fees for audit related services for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010.
 
Tax Fees
 
For the Company’s fiscal years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, we were not billed for professional services rendered for tax compliance, tax advice, and tax planning.
 
All Other Fees
 
The Company did not incur any other fees related to services rendered by our principal accountant for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010.

Effective May 6, 2003, the Securities and Exchange Commission adopted rules that require that before our auditor is engaged by us to render any auditing or permitted non-audit related service, the engagement be:
 
-approved by our audit committee; or
 
-entered into pursuant to pre-approval policies and procedures established by the audit committee, provided the policies and procedures are detailed as to the particular service, the audit committee is informed of each service, and such policies and procedures do not include delegation of the audit committee's responsibilities to management.
 
We do not have an audit committee. Our entire board of directors pre-approves all services provided by our independent auditors.
 
The pre-approval process has just been implemented in response to the new rules. Therefore, our board of directors does not have records of what percentage of the above fees were pre-approved. However, all of the above services and fees were reviewed and approved by the entire board of directors either before or after the respective services were rendered.
