350Green Acquisition
On April 22, 2013 (the “Closing Date”), the Company entered into an addendum (the “Addendum”) to an equity exchange agreement, dated March 8, 2013 (the “Exchange Agreement ”), by and among the Company, 350 Holdings, LLC, a Florida limited liability company (“CCGI Sub”), 350 Green, LLC, a Virginia limited liability company (“350 Green”), Mariana Gerzanych (“Gerzanych”), and Timothy Mason (“Mason” and, together with Gerzanych, the “350 Members”) for the acquisition of 350 Green.
350 Green operates a scalable network of plug-in electric vehicle (“EV”) charging stations across the U.S. It distributes its stations by partnering with retail hosts at select, high-traffic shopping centers and other places where EV drivers live and work, to create an expansive and convenient network of EV charging locations. The Company undertook the acquisition to expand its footprint of deployed EV charging stations.
Pursuant to the Addendum, the Company (through CCGI Sub) acquired all the membership interests of 350 Green from the 350 Members in exchange for $1,219,757 of which: (a) $719,757, valued at the market price on the date of issuance, was paid in the form of 604,838 unregistered shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 (such shares, the “Exchange Shares”), and (b) $500,000 was paid in the form of a promissory note (the “Promissory Note”) payable to the 350 Members (the “Equity Exchange”). The Promissory Note does not bear interest and is payable in the following installments: (i) a payment of $10,000 on the Closing Date, (ii) an additional $10,000 payment on the thirty (30) day anniversary of the Closing Date, and (iii) monthly installments in the amount of $20,000 thereafter until paid in full. Based on the life of the note, the Company imputed interest at 12% per annum and recorded the note at its present value of $444,768 on the date of issuance. The Company has made payments of principal and interest totaling $40,000 as of June 30, 2013.
In connection with the Equity Exchange, the Company entered into a right of first refusal agreement (the “ROFR Agreement”) between the Company and the 350 Members pursuant to which the Company obtained a right of first refusal to participate in any and all EV charging and infrastructure related business opportunities presented to the 350 Members for one (1) year following the Closing Date. If the Company participates in business opportunities presented to it by the 350 Members pursuant to the ROFR Agreement that results in the Company installing EV charging stations (each an “EV Station”), the Company shall pay the 350 Members $250 for the first station, $125 for each additional EV Station, and 1% of any revenues generated by each EV Station for five (5) years from date of installation. The 350 Members are not currently, and will not be, affiliated with, nor employees of, the Company in any way in the future.
On October 19, 2010, 350 Green was awarded a grant from the City of Chicago to install and maintain an EV charging network throughout the city pursuant to a grant agreement (the “Grant”). On or about June 14, 2012, the City of Chicago delivered a Notice of Default to 350 Green citing, among other deficiencies, that all work had stopped on the Grant project because of 350 Green’s failure to pay its subcontractors and that 350 Green had made misrepresentations with regard to such payments and financial obligations. On February 5, 2013, the Company and the City of Chicago accepted a Preliminary Terms of Approval of Transfer of Grant Agreement (the “Terms of Approval”) that set forth (i) that the Company will be allowed to receive assignment of the Grant if it, among other criteria, settles all of the outstanding claims by the unpaid subcontractors and finishes the Grant project pursuant to a revised scope and budget and (ii) that the City of Chicago will release 350 Green and the Company from any and all liability with respect to misrepresentations regarding payments and financial obligations made by 350 Green prior to the Closing Date. The 350 members will not receive a release as part of this settlement with the City of Chicago.
On March 1, 2013, the City of Chicago delivered approval of the Equity Exchange (the “Chicago Approval”).
On April 22, 2013, the Company acquired 350 Green, and 350 Green became a wholly-owned subsidiary of CCGI Sub.
The Company has accounted for the transaction as a business combination. Pending the finalization of a valuation, the following table summarizes the preliminary fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the closing date:

While the Company believes that it will prevail in the Illinois Lawsuit, the possibility exists that the Company may be required to sell the Chicago assets and pay JNS’ costs and attorneys’ fees. In such an instance, JNS would also be required to assume approximately $1.6 million of 350 Green’s liabilities.
On May 30, 2013, JNS filed a complaint against 350 Green, in federal court in Illinois (the “JNS Lawsuit”). Among other things, the JNS Lawsuit seeks indemnification from 350 Green for all actions, liabilities, lawsuits, expenses or damages associated with the Company’s alleged failure to close an Equity Exchange Agreement with 350 Green.
The Court recently consolidated the Illinois Lawsuit and the JNS Lawsuit. The cases are on an expedited briefing schedule, and are anticipated to be resolved soon.

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.

Overview
We are a nationwide provider of electric vehicle (“EV”) charging services, and provide comprehensive turnkey EV charging services to commercial, residential, and municipal property owners. These services enable EV drivers to recharge their EVs where they live, work, and play.
Among other things, our service offerings are designed to accelerate the adoption of public EV charging services. In return for long-term service contracts, our complete turnkey service enables property owners to rollout EV charging on their properties at no expense, as we pay for all EV charging equipment, installation, maintenance and related services. It is our belief that this innovative amenity serves to increase property value, retains current tenants, and attracts prospective tenants as well.
With more than 87 strategic partnerships across multiple business sectors, including multifamily residential and commercial properties, parking garages, shopping malls, retail centers, and municipalities, our strategic partners own or manage over 8 million parking spaces. These partnerships include, but are not limited to, companies such as Walgreens, Simon Property Group, Sears, Intel, Ace Parking, Central Parking, Equity One, Equity Residential, Icon Parking, Rapid Parking, Related Properties, USA Parking, Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection, City of Miami Beach (FL), City of Hollywood (FL), and City of Santa Clara (CA).
Our revenues are primarily derived from hardware sales, public EV charging services, government grants, state and federal rebates, and marketing incentives. EV charging fees are based either on an hourly rate or a per kilowatt-hour rate, and are calculated based on a variety of factors, including local electricity tariffs, strength of location, competitive services, and the prices of other fuels (such as gasoline). We are also implementing subscription plans to include electricity for single-family homes, multifamily residential homes, and our public charging locations.
On March 28, 2013, we purchased 48 DC fast chargers from AeroVironment, a distributor for Nissan North America, at an aggregate cost of $792,912. To memorialize this purchase, the Company entered into joint marketing agreement with Nissan North America, pursuant to which we received marketing incentive funds of $782,880. This agreement requires us to build, own, operate and maintain a network of DC fast chargers throughout the United States, and to create a Nissan dealer network promotion and referral program to facilitate sales of EVs to Nissan’s customers. We are required to install the network by December 31, 2013 but have not installed any of these chargers as of June 30, 2013. All marketing incentive funds received pursuant to the agreement with Nissan will be recognized as revenues ratably over the three-year life of the chargers upon installation.
We purchase of all of the company’s EV charging stations through our wholly-owned subsidiary, eCharging Stations, LLC. Stations are then installed and maintained though competitively bid subcontractor agreements with certified local vendors, to maintain the lowest installation and long-term costs possible. It is anticipated that automobile manufacturers are scheduled to mass produce and sell more models of electric vehicles to the public sometime after the second half of 2014. Accordingly, at that time we anticipate that there will be a significant increase in the use of our EV charging stations.
As of June 30, 2013, we had entered into contracts to provide EV charging services to a total of 87 strategic partners. As a result of our acquisitions of three competitors, we increased our EV charging stations by 679 charging units (“EV Devices”), to a total of 974 EV Devices. Further, we have also added 27 DC fast charging to our network through our acquisitions. As a result of recent partnerships with EV manufacturers, our network has broadened its offerings and includes units from numerous manufacturers, in addition to ChargePoint, whose charging units we have used solely used in the past. Due to our recent efforts being focused on the absorption and integration of newly acquired charging units into our network, we were not able to complete any installations during the quarter ended June 30, 2013. However, during July 2013, we were able to move forward and complete installation of an additional 7 charging units.
To generate leads and enter into additional strategic partnership agreements with property owners, we have utilized the services of independent contractors and in house personnel. We have found that by following this model, we are better able to stimulate growth, control cash-flow, and minimize costs. Accordingly, our independent contractors are able to close and maintain client relationships, as well as coordinate EV charging station installations and operations.
Results of Operations
The results of operations include the operations of Beam Charging LLC for the period of February 26, 2013, the acquisition date, through June 30, 2013, EV Pass LLC for the period of April 3, 2013, the acquisition date, through June 30, 2013 and 350Green LLC for the period of April 23, 2013, acquisition date, through June 30, 2013.

Cost of services increased to $46,718 for the six months ended June 30, 2013 as compared to $1,790 for the six months ended June 30, 2012 as a result of the increased revenues during the same period due to an increase in the number of heads in operation resulting from the acquisitions. Cost of sales decreased from $187,056 during the period ended June 30, 2012 to $7,710 due to a decrease of 65 units sold.
Operating Expenses
Operating expenses consists of selling, marketing and advertising, payroll, administrative, finance and professional expenses.
Compensation expense increased by $3,189,516 from $1,115,957 for the six months ended June 30, 2012 to $4,305,473 for the six months ended June 30, 2013. The increase was attributable to an increase in grants of warrants and options under our 2012 Omnibus Incentive Plan.
Other operating expenses decreased by $29,876 from $304,220 for the six months ended June 30, 2012 to $274,344 for the six months ended June 30, 2013. The decrease was attributable to a decrease in travel expense expenses.
General and administrative expenses increased by $1,833,778 from $1,058,944 for the six months ended June 30, 2012 to $2,892,722 for the six months ended June 30, 2013. The increase was primarily as a result of an increase in stock and warrants issued to consultants, an increase in professional fees as a result of the acquisitions and an increase in depreciation expense related to the increase in the number of charging heads acquired.
Operating Loss
Our operating loss for the six months ended June 30, 2013 increased by $5,003,173 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2012 from $2,430,480 in 2012 to $7,433,653 in 2013 primarily as a result of an increase in compensation expenses and general and administrative expenses, a decrease in revenues, offset by decreases in other operating expenses and cost of revenue.
Other Income (Expense)
Other expense increased by $429,282 from $542 for the six months ended June 30, 2012 to $429,824 for the six months ended June 30, 2013. The increase was attributable to a provision for warrant liability associated with the Beam transaction of $187,000, $47,856 net loss sustained by issuing shares of common stock in settlement of an account payable, a loss on payment of convertible notes payable of $46,701 an increase in interest expense $20,942 due to debt incurred in connection with the acquisitions and an increase in amortization of discount on convertible notes payable of $126,783.
Net Income (Loss)
Our net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2013 increased by $5,432,455 to $7,863,477 as compared to $2,431,022 for the six months ended June 30, 2012. The increase was attributable to a net increase in operating expenses of $4,993,418, an increase of other expense of $429,282 and a decrease in gross profit of $9,755.
Period from September 3, 2009 (date of inception) through June 30, 2013
Our cumulative net loss since inception, $26,803,904, including non-cash charges of $16,885,661 (which includes the fair value of warrants, options and common stock issued for services and compensation) primarily consisting of consulting, professional fees and public relations fees is attributable to the fact that we have not derived significant revenues from our operations to offset our business development expenses. Although auto manufacturers have initiated EV sales in the United States and that year over year increases in the number of Plug-in Electric Vehicles sold from 2012 to 2013 should lead to production of greater revenues, manufacture and demand of electric vehicles that will require utilization of our services, the demand is not anticipated to be widespread until the second half of 2014; this gives us adequate time to develop its distribution plan and additional capital sources.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
During the six months ended June 30, 2013, we have financed our activities from operations and from the sales of our capital stock and issuance of debt. A significant portion of the funds raised from the sale of capital stock has been used to cover working capital needs such as personnel, office expenses and various consulting and professional fees.
For the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, we used cash of $993,031 in 2013 and $1,439,692 for operations and used $7,212,885 since inception. Such cash use has been primarily to fund operations. During the six months ended June 30, 2013, cash used for investing activities consisted of $905,502 for purchases of electric vehicle charging stations and the excess of cash received over the cash invested pertaining to our acquisitions of $9,354 and $163,292 for the purchase of an accounts receivable as compared to $496,293 for the six months ended June 30, 2012 primarily for the purchase of capital expenditure. Cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2013 was $2,204,220 of which $2,208,000 was from the sale of shares of our common stock, net of issuance costs, the net repayment of $673,780 of convertible and non-convertible notes and $525,000 of proceeds derived from the receipt funds for investment in common stock of the Company which was issued subsequent to June 30, 2013 as compared to $2,258,085 provided primarily by the net proceeds from the sale of shares of our common stock and preferred stock for the six months ended June 30, 2012. The net increase in cash during the six months ended June 30, 2013 was $151,749 as compared with a net increase of $322,100 for the six months ended June 30, 2012.
Since inception, we have used cash for investing activities of $2,429,766 for the purchase of EV charging stations, office and computer equipment, an automobile and other assets. We have received cash provided by financing activities of convertible and non-convertible notes payable of $541,000, and $9,423,348, net of issuance costs, primarily from sales of shares of our common and Series B Convertible Preferred stock.
At June 30, 2013, we had $165,165 in cash resources to meet current obligations. In addition, as of June 30, 2013, the Company had a net working capital deficit of $7,746,256. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our management’s plans include seeking additional equity investments, sale of energy tax credits, and institution of a cost reduction plan. Although there can be no assurance of achieving its plan, our management believes its plan, if successful, will allow it to have sufficient resources to fund the Company’s operations through at least June 30, 2014.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Not required for smaller reporting companies.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Disclosure controls and procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports, filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, 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 our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable and not absolute assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In reaching a reasonable level of assurance, management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. In addition, the design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, a control may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or the degree of compliance with policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.
As required by the SEC Rule 13a-15(b), we carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on the foregoing, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at the reasonable assurance level due to the material weaknesses described below.
In light of the material weaknesses described below, we performed additional analysis and other post-closing procedures to ensure our financial statements were prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Accordingly, we believe that the financial statements included in this report fairly present, in all material respects, our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.
A material weakness is a control deficiency (within the meaning of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) Auditing Standard No. 2) or combination of control deficiencies that result in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected. Management has identified the following two material weaknesses which have caused management to conclude that as of June 30, 2013 our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at the reasonable assurance level:
1.
|
We do not have written documentation of our internal control policies and procedures. Written documentation of key internal controls over financial reporting is a requirement of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act which is applicable to us for the quarter ended June 30, 2013. Management evaluated the impact of our failure to have written documentation of our internal controls and procedures on our assessment of our disclosure controls and procedures and has concluded that the control deficiency that resulted represented a material weakness.
|
2.
|
We do not have sufficient resources in our accounting function, which restricts the Company’s ability to gather, analyze and properly review information related to financial reporting in a timely manner. In addition, due to our size and nature, segregation of all conflicting duties may not always be possible and may not be economically feasible. However, to the extent possible, the initiation of transactions, the custody of assets and the recording of transactions should be performed by separate individuals. Management evaluated the impact of our failure to have segregation of duties on our assessment of our disclosure controls and procedures and has concluded that the control deficiency that resulted represented a material weakness.
|
To address these material weaknesses, management performed additional analyses and other procedures to ensure that the financial statements included herein fairly present, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.
Changes in internal controls over financial reporting
Our internal control over financial reporting has changed during the fiscal quarter covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q as a result of the business acquisitions that have occurred during the period. In addition, we identified material weaknesses related to our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
General Litigation
On July 31, 2013, the Company participated in an arbitration with a former consultant regarding certain compensatory matters. The arbitrator has thirty days in which to issue a ruling, but has not yet done so.
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.

These shares were issued in reliance on the exemption under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1934, as amended (the “Securities Act”). These shares of our common stock qualified for exemption under Section 4(2) since the issuance shares by us did not involve a public offering. In addition, the recipients had the necessary intent as required by Section 4(2) since they agreed to and received share certificates bearing a legend stating that such shares are restricted pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act. This restriction ensures that these shares would not be immediately redistributed into the market and therefore not be part of a “public offering.” Based on an analysis of the above factors, we have met the requirements to qualify for exemption under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act for this transaction.
