1. BUSINESS ORGANIZATION, NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

Blink Charging Co., through its wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company” or “Blink”), is a leading owner, operator, and provider of electric vehicle (“EV”) charging equipment and networked EV charging services. Blink offers both residential and commercial EV charging equipment, enabling EV drivers to easily recharge at various location types.

 

Blink’s principal line of products and services is its Blink EV charging network (the “Blink Network”) and EV charging equipment, also known as electric vehicle supply equipment (“EVSE”) and EV-related services. The Blink Network is a proprietary cloud-based software that operates, maintains, and tracks all of the Blink EV charging stations and the associated charging data. The Blink Network provides property owners, managers, and parking companies (“Property Partners”) with cloud-based services that enable the remote monitoring and management of EV charging stations, payment processing, and provides EV drivers with vital station information including station location, availability, and applicable fees.

 

Blink offers its Property Partners a flexible range of business models for EV charging equipment and services. In its comprehensive and turnkey business model, Blink owns and operates the EV charging equipment, manages the installation, maintenance, and related services; and shares a portion of the EV charging revenue with the property owner. Alternatively, Property Partners may share in the equipment and installation expenses, with Blink operating and managing the EV charging stations and providing connectivity to the Blink Network. For Property Partners interested in purchasing and owning EV charging stations that they manage, Blink provides EV charging hardware, site recommendations, connectivity to the Blink Network, and service and maintenance services.

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and disclosures required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, such statements include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring items) which are considered necessary for a fair presentation of the condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company as of June 30, 2018 and for the three and six months then ended. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year ending December 31, 2018 or any other period. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related disclosures of the Company as of December 31, 2017 and for the year then ended, which were filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) as part of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K on April 17, 2018, as amended on May 10, 2018.

 

Effective August 29, 2017, pursuant to authority granted by the stockholders of the Company, the Company implemented a 1-for-50 reverse split of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock (the “Reverse Split”). The number of authorized shares remains unchanged. All share and per share information has been retroactively adjusted to reflect the Reverse Split for all periods presented, unless otherwise indicated.

 

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

The Company’s significant accounting policies are disclosed in Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017. Since the date of the Annual Report, there have been no material changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies, except as disclosed below.

 

LIQUIDITY AND FINANCIAL CONDITION

 

As of June 30, 2018, the Company had cash, working capital and an accumulated deficit of $23,996,609, $17,582,649 and $155,463,975, respectively. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, the Company had net (loss) income of $(1,232,785) and $971,303, respectively, but a loss from operations of $1,834,791 and $5,636,730, respectively. The Company has not yet achieved profitability from operations.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES – CONTINUED

 

LIQUIDITY AND FINANCIAL CONDITION - CONTINUED

 

On February 16, 2018, the Company closed its underwritten public offering of an aggregate 4,353,000 shares of the Company’s common stock and warrants to purchase an aggregate of 8,706,000 shares of common stock at a combined public offering price of $4.25 per unit comprised of one share and two warrants. The Public Offering resulted in $18,504,320 and $14,880,815 of gross and net proceeds, respectively, including underwriting discounts, commissions and other offering expenses of $3,623,505, which was recorded as a reduction of additional paid-in capital. Furthermore, during the six months ended June 30, 2018, the Company issued an aggregate of 4,033,660 shares of the Company’s common stock pursuant to the exercise of warrants at an exercise price of $4.25 per share for aggregate gross proceeds of $17,143,056. See Note 8 – Stockholders’ Equity – Public Offering and Warrant Issuances for additional details.

 

The Company believes its current cash on hand is sufficient to meet its operating and capital requirements for at least twelve months from the issuance date of these financial statements. Thereafter, the Company may need to raise further capital through the sale of additional equity or debt securities or other debt instruments to support its future operations. The Company’s operating needs include the planned costs to operate its business, including amounts required to fund working capital and capital expenditures. The Company’s future capital requirements and the adequacy of its available funds will depend on many factors, including the Company’s ability to successfully commercialize its products and services, competing technological and market developments, and the need to enter into collaborations with other companies or acquire other companies or technologies to enhance or complement its product and service offerings.

 

There is also no assurance that the amount of funds the Company might raise will enable the Company to complete its development initiatives or attain profitable operations. If the Company is unable to obtain additional financing on a timely basis, it may have to curtail its development, marketing and promotional activities, which would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations, and ultimately, the Company could be forced to discontinue its operations and liquidate.

 

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 the consolidated financial statements. The Company has cash on deposits in several financial institutions which, at times, may be in excess of Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insurance limits. The Company has not experienced losses in such accounts and periodically evaluates the creditworthiness of its financial institutions. The Company reduces its credit risk by placing its cash and cash equivalents with major financial institutions. As of June 30, 2018, the Company had cash balances in excess of FDIC insurance limits of $23,730,827.

 

RECLASSIFICATIONS

 

Certain prior period balances have been reclassified in order to conform to current period presentation. These reclassifications have no effect on previously reported results of operations or loss per share.

 

REVENUE RECOGNITION

 

On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (“ASC 606”). The core principle of ASC 606 requires that an entity recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. ASC 606 defines a five-step process to achieve this core principle and, in doing so, it is possible more judgment and estimates may be required within the revenue recognition process than required under existing accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) including identifying performance obligations in the contract, estimating the amount of variable consideration to include in the transaction price and allocating the transaction price to each separate performance obligation.

 

The Company adopted ASC 606 for all applicable contracts using the modified retrospective method, which would have required a cumulative-effect adjustment, if any, as of the date of adoption. The adoption of ASC 606 did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements as of the date of adoption. As a result, a cumulative-effect adjustment was not required.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES – CONTINUED

 

REVENUE RECOGNITION - CONTINUED

 

The Company recognizes revenue primarily from five different types of contracts:

 

  Charging service revenue – company-owned charging stations - Revenue is recognized at the point when a particular charging session is completed.
  Product sales – Revenue is recognized at the point where the customer obtains control of the goods and the Company satisfies its performance obligation, which generally is at the time it ships the product to the customer.
  Warranty revenue – Represents a stand-ready obligation whereby the Company is obligated to perform over a period of time and, as a result, revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the contract term.
  Network fees – Represents a stand-ready obligation whereby the Company is obligated to perform over a period of time and, as a result, revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the contract term.
  Other – Primarily related to charging service revenue from non-company-owned charging stations. Revenue is recognized at the point when a particular charging session is completed.

 

The following table summarizes our revenue recognized under ASC 606 in our condensed consolidated statements of operations:

 

   For The Three Months Ended   For The Six Months Ended 
   June 30,   June 30, 
   2018   2017   2018   2017 
                 
Revenues - Recognized at a Point in Time                    
Charging service revenue - company-owned charging stations  $301,350   $244,931   $607,097   $512,805 
Product sales   142,839    56,957    278,599    210,544 
Other   45,131    55,408    95,660    112,670 
Total Revenues - Recognized at a Point in Time   489,320    357,296    981,356    836,019 
                     
Revenues - Recognized Over a Period of Time:                    
Warranty revenue   33,957    31,855    64,359    66,704 
Network fees   56,034    59,492    113,285    108,730 
Total Revenues - Recognized Over a Period of Time   89,991    91,347    177,644    175,434 
                     
Total Revenue Under ASC 606  $579,311   $448,643   $1,159,000   $1,011,453 

 

The timing of the Company’s revenue recognition may differ from the timing of payment by its customers. A receivable is recorded when revenue is recognized prior to payment and the Company has an unconditional right to payment. Alternatively, when payment precedes the provision of the related services, the Company records deferred revenue until the performance obligations are satisfied.

 

As of June 30, 2018, the Company had $281,255 related to contract liabilities where performance obligations have not yet been satisfied, which has been included within deferred revenue on the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2018. The Company expects to satisfy its remaining performance obligations for network fees and warranty revenue and recognize the revenue within the next twelve months.

 

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, the Company recognized approximately $75,000 and $170,000, respectively, of revenues related to network fees, warranty contracts, and product sales, which was included in deferred revenues as of December 31, 2017.

 

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, there was no revenue recognized from performance obligations satisfied (or partially satisfied) in previous periods. The Company has elected not to disclose information about remaining performance obligations pertaining to contracts with an original expected length of one year or less, as permitted under the guidance.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES – CONTINUED

 

REVENUE RECOGNITION - CONTINUED

 

Grants and rebates pertaining to revenues and periodic expenses are recognized as income when the related revenue and/or periodic expense are recorded. Grants and rebates related to EV charging stations and their installation are deferred and amortized in a manner consistent with the related depreciation expense of the related asset over their useful lives over the useful life of the charging station. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, the Company recorded $45,107 and $61,338, respectively, related to grant and rebate revenue. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, the Company recorded $84,331 and $117,141, respectively, related to grant and rebate revenue.

 

CONCENTRATIONS

 

There were no revenue concentrations during the three and six months ended June 30, 2018. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, revenues generated from one customer represented approximately 11% of the Company’s total revenue. As of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, accounts receivable from this same customer amounted to less than 10% of total accounts receivable. As of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, accounts receivable from another significant customer were approximately 31% and 32%, respectively, of total accounts receivable.

 

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

 

The Company measures the cost of services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the fair value of the award. For employees and non-employees, the fair value of the award is measured on the grant date. The fair value amount is then recognized over the period during which services are required to be provided in exchange for the award, usually the vesting period. Awards granted to non-employee directors for their service as a director are treated on the same basis as awards granted to employees. The Company computes the fair value of equity-classified warrants and options granted using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.

 

NET LOSS PER COMMON SHARE

 

Basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding, plus the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the common share equivalents had been issued (computed using the treasury stock or if converted method), if dilutive.

 

The following common share equivalents are excluded from the calculation of weighted average common shares outstanding because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive:

 

   June 30, 
   2018   2017 
Convertible preferred stock   2,447,756    1,248,174 
Warrants   6,855,224    1,061,994 
Options   106,408    147,833 
Convertible notes   -    20,335 
Total potentially dilutive shares   9,409,388    2,478,336

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES – CONTINUED 

RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

 

In June 2018, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2018-07, “Compensation — Stock Compensation (Topic 718),” (“ASU 2018-07”). ASU 2018-07 is intended to reduce cost and complexity and to improve financial reporting for nonemployee share-based payments. Currently, the accounting requirements for nonemployee and employee share-based payment transactions are significantly different. ASU 2018-07 expands the scope of Topic 718, Compensation — Stock Compensation (which currently only includes share-based payments to employees) to include share-based payments issued to nonemployees for goods or services. Consequently, the accounting for share-based payments to nonemployees and employees will be substantially aligned. This ASU supersedes Subtopic 505-50, Equity — Equity-Based Payments to Nonemployees. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within that fiscal year. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than a company’s adoption date of Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The Company early adopted ASU 2018-07 effective April 1, 2018. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

3. OTHER ASSETS

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2018, the Company entered into purchase commitments to acquire second generation charging stations with an aggregate value of $3,156,629. The Company has an aggregate deposit of $986,031 for these charging stations, which is included within other assets on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2018. As of June 30, 2018, the Company had a remaining purchase commitment of $2,170,598, which will come due upon delivery of the charging stations.

On July 11, 2018, the Company filed its Answer and Affirmative Defense to the Amended Complaint.

 

From time to time, the Company is a defendant or plaintiff in various legal actions that arise in the normal course of business.

 

350 Green, LLC

 

350 Green lawsuits relate solely to alleged pre-acquisition unpaid debts of 350 Green. Also, there are other unpaid creditors, aside from those noted above, that claim to be owed certain amounts for pre-acquisition work done on behalf of 350 Green solely, that potentially could file lawsuits at some point in the future.

 

On May 30, 2013, JNS Power & Control Systems, Inc. (“JNS”) filed a complaint against 350 Green, LLC alleging claims for breach of contract, specific performance and indemnity arising out of an Asset Purchase Agreement between JNS and 350 Green entered on April 13, 2013, whereby JNS would purchase car chargers and related assets from 350 Green. On September 24, 2013, the District Court entered summary judgment in favor of JNS on its claim for specific performance. On September 9, 2015, the United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit of Chicago, Illinois affirmed the ruling of the District Court, which affirmed the sale of certain assets by 350 Green to JNS and the assumption of certain 350 Green liabilities by JNS. On April 7, 2016, JNS amended the complaint to add the Company, alleging an unspecified amount of lost revenues from the chargers, among other matters, caused by the defendants. Plaintiff also seeks indemnity for its unspecified attorney’s fees and costs in connection with enforcing the Asset Purchase Agreement in courts in New York and Chicago. On July 26, 2017, the District Court denied the Company’s motion to dismiss the Company from the suit. The Company answered the second amended complaint on August 16, 2017. The deadline for the parties to complete discovery is December 8, 2017. The next status hearing on the matter is set for December 8, 2017. As of December 31, 2017, the Company accrued a $750,000 liability in connection with its settlement offer to JNS. On February 2, 2018, the parties entered into an asset purchase agreement whereby the parties agreed to settle the litigation. The Company purchased back the EV chargers it previously sold to JNS for: (a) shares of Common Stock worth $600,000 with a price per share equal to $4.25 (the price per share of the Offering); (b) $50,000 cash payment within ten days of the closing of the Offering; and (c) $100,000 cash payment within six months following the closing of the Offering. The Offering closed on February 16, 2018. The Company issued 141,176 shares on March 16, 2018. The Company made the $50,000 payment on March 16, 2018. JNS filed a motion to dismiss the lawsuit without prejudice on March 23, 2018 and the judge granted the motion on March 26, 2018. JNS will file a motion to convert the dismissal without prejudice to dismissal with prejudice within three business days of the $100,000 payment. On March 16, 2018, the Company issued 23,529 shares of Common Stock to JNS to be held in escrow as security for the $100,000 payment. At the time the $100,000 payment is made by the Company, the 23,529 shares currently held in escrow will be cancelled. On August 2, 2018, the Company paid the $100,000 to JNS and the 23,529 shares of common stock were returned to the Company.

 

On March 26, 2018, final judgment has been reached relating to the Assignment for the Benefit of the Creditors, whereby all remaining assets of 350 Green are abandoned to their respective property owners where the charging stations have been installed, thus on March 26, 2018, the assignment proceeding has closed.

Additionally, we currently have approximately 521 Level 2 commercial charging units on other networks and there are also approximately an additional 7,110 non-networked, residential Blink EV charging stations. The non-networked, residential Blink EV charging stations are all partner owned. Additionally, as of August 6, 2018, we have an additional 392 charging stations that have been sold and shipped to customers that are awaiting installation.

 

As reflected in our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2018, we had cash, working capital and an accumulated deficit of $23,996,609, $17,582,649 and $155,463,975, respectively. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, we had net (loss) income of ($1,232,785) and $971,303, respectively, but a loss from operations of $1,834,791 and $5,636,730, respectively.

Consolidated Results of Operations

 

Three Months Ended June 30, 2018 Compared With Three Months Ended June 30, 2017

 

Revenues

 

Total revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2018 increased by $91,444, or 17%, to $624,418 compared to $532,974 during the three months ended June 30, 2017.

 

Revenue from product sales was $142,839 for the three months ended June 30, 2018 compared to $56,957 during the three months ended June 30, 2017, an increase of $85,882, or 151%. This increase was attributable to a higher volume of commercial units as compared to the 2017 period.

 

Charging service revenue company-owned charging stations was $301,350 for the three months ended June 30, 2018 compared to $244,931 for the three months ended June 30, 2017, an increase of $56,419, or 23%. The increase was attributable to a larger number of charging stations in the network as compared to the same 2017 period.

 

Grant and rebate revenue was $45,107 during the three months ended June 30, 2018, compared to $84,331 during the three months ended June 30, 2017, a decrease of $39,224, or 47%. Grant and rebates relating to equipment and the related installation are deferred and amortized in a manner consistent with the depreciation expense of the related assets over their useful lives. The ability to secure grant revenues is typically unpredictable and, therefore, uncertain. We have not recently received any new grants and, as a result, the 2018 revenue was related to the amortization of previous years’ grants.

 

Other revenue decreased by $10,277 to $45,131 for the three months ended June 30, 2018 as compared to $55,408 for the three months ended June 30, 2017. The decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease of $5,166 in charging revenue from host-owned stations as a result of property owners converting their charging stations from host-owned to company-owned.

 

Total revenue from warranty revenue and network fees was $89,991 for the three months ended June 30, 2018, compared to $91,347 the three months ended June 30, 2017, a slight decrease of $1,356, or 1%.

 

Cost of Revenues

 

Cost of revenues primarily consists of depreciation of installed charging stations, amortization of the Blink Network infrastructure, the cost of charging station goods and related services sold, repairs and maintenance, electricity reimbursements and revenue share payments to hosts when we are the primary obligor in the revenue share arrangement. Cost of revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2018 were $453,643 as compared to $390,049 for the three months ended June 30, 2017, an increase of $63,594, or 16%.

 

Warranty and repairs and maintenance costs increased by $162,245, or 213%, to $86,001 during the three months ended June 30, 2018 from $(76,244) during the three months ended June 30, 2017. This was primarily attributable to an increase in volume of warranty work performed by third party vendors during the six months ended June 30, 2018 as compared to the 2017 period where we provided repairs at a lower cost.

 

There is a degree of variability in our gross margins related to charging services revenues from period to period primarily due to (i) the mix of revenue share payment arrangements, (ii) electricity reimbursements, and (iii) the costs of maintaining charging stations not currently in operation.

 

Host provider fees for the three months ended June 30, 2018 remained relatively flat at $97,327 compared to $92,938 during the three months ended June 30, 2017.

 

Network costs for the three months ended June 30, 2018 remained relatively flat at $77,297 compared to $73,310 during the three months ended June 30, 2017.

 

Any variability in our gross margins related to equipment sales depends on the mix of products sold. Accordingly, the cost of product sales decreased by $123,372 to $39,287 during the three months June 30, 2018 as compared to $162,659 during 2017 due to decrease in the volume of residential units sold in 2018.

 

Depreciation and amortization expense declined by $24,600, or 25%, to $74,671 for the three months ended June 30, 2018 as compared to $99,271 for the three months ended June 30, 2017, as some underlying assets became fully depreciated during 2018.

Operating Expenses

 

Compensation expense decreased by $882,501, or 44%, from $2,013,680 (consisting of approximately $1.1 million of cash compensation and approximately $0.9 million of non-cash compensation) for the three months ended June 30, 2017 to $1,131,179 (consisting of approximately $1.0 million of cash compensation and approximately $0.1 million of non-cash compensation) for the three months ended June 30, 2018. The decrease was primarily attributable to a decline in non-cash compensation of approximately $800,000 during the 2018 period. Additionally, the commissions programs with the Executive Chairman and the Chief Operating Officer expired which resulted in lower commissions expense of approximately $173,000 during the three months ended June 30, 2018. This was partially offset by an increase in other payroll expenses and board fees of $103,534.

 

Other operating expenses increased by $282,375, or 134%, from $210,762 for the three months ended June 30, 2017 to $493,307 for the three months ended June 30, 2018. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in product development costs of $96,857 to $100,863 during the three months June 30, 2018 related to second generation product development from $4,006 during the three months ended June 30, 2017. Additionally, there was an increase in penalties on past due sales and payroll taxes of $128,228 to $146,033 during the three months ended June 30, 2018 from $17,805 during the three months ended June 30, 2017, this increase was due to the payment of past payroll and sales taxes resolved during the period. Additionally, there was an increase in information technology expense of $26,854 to $36,467 during the three months ended June 30, 2018 from $9,613 during the three months ended June 30, 2017 due to a larger amount of information technology related expenditures during the 2018 period.

 

General and administrative expenses increased by $142,975, or 60%, from $238,375 for the three months ended June 30, 2017 to $381,350 for the three months ended June 30, 2018. The increase was primarily due to an increase in professional and accounting fees of $110,060 to $278,730 during the three months ended June 30, 2018 compared to $168,670 during the three months ended June 30, 2017 as a result of the engagement of an investor relations firm and the increased accounting fees. Additionally, there was an increase in stock exchange related fees of $22,734 attributable to the amortization of our annual fee to NASDAQ which was related to our uplisting during fiscal 2018.

 

Other Income (Expense)

 

Other income (expense) increased by $2,698,281, or 129%, from ($2,096,275) for the three months ended June 30, 2017 to $602,006 for the three months ended June 30, 2018. The increase was primarily attributable to a reduction in the amortization of convertible debt discount of $1,097,777, a reduction in the loss of settlement reserve of $350,588, a reduction in the change in fair value of derivative and other accrued liabilities of $939,741, as well as a reduction of interest expense of $206,626 during the three months ended June 30, 2018 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2017.

 

Net Loss

 

Our net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2018 decreased by $3,183,382, or 72%, to $1,232,785 as compared to $4,416,167 for the three months ended June 30, 2017. The decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease in other income (expenses) of $2,695,152. Our net loss attributable to common shareholders for the three months ended June 30, 2018 decreased by $3,974,282, or 76%, from $5,207,067 to $1,232,785 for the aforementioned reasons and due to a decrease in the dividend attributable to Series C Convertible Preferred shareholders of $790,900.

 

Six Months Ended June 30, 2018 Compared With Six Months Ended June 30, 2017

 

Revenues

 

Total revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2018 increased by $91,744, or 8%, to $1,220,338 compared to $1,128,594 during the six months ended June 30, 2017.

 

Charging service revenue company-owned charging stations was $607,097 for the six months ended June 30, 2018 compared to $512,805 for the six months ended June 30, 2017, an increase of $94,292, or 18%. The increase was attributable to a larger number of charging stations in the network as compared to the same 2017 period.

 

Revenue from product sales was $278,599 for the six months ended June 30, 2018 compared to $210,544 during the six months ended June 30, 2017, an increase of $68,055, or 32%. This increase was attributable to a higher volume of commercial units as compared to the same 2017 period.

 

Grant and rebate revenue was $61,338 during the six months ended June 30, 2018, compared to $117,141 during the six months ended June 30, 2017, a decrease of $55,803, or 48%. Grant and rebates relating to equipment and the related installation are deferred and amortized in a manner consistent with the depreciation expense of the related assets over their useful lives. The ability to secure grant revenues is typically unpredictable and, therefore, uncertain. We have not recently received any new grants and, as a result, the 2018 revenue was related to the amortization of previous years’ grants.

Other revenue decreased by $17,010 to $95,660 for the six months ended June 30, 2018 as compared to $112,670 for the six months ended June 30, 2017. The decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease of $14,936 in charging revenue from host-owned stations as a result of property owners converting their charging stations from host-owned to company-owned.

 

Total revenue from warranty revenue and network fees was $177,644 for the six months ended June 30, 2018, compared to $175,434 the six months ended June 30, 2017, a slight increase of $2,210, or 1%.

 

Cost of Revenues

 

Cost of revenues primarily consists of depreciation of installed charging stations, amortization of the Blink Network infrastructure, the cost of charging station goods and related services sold, repairs and maintenance, electricity reimbursements and revenue share payments to hosts when we are the primary obligor in the revenue share arrangement. Cost of revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2018 were $877,742 as compared to $822,456 for the six months ended June 30, 2017, an increase of $55,286, or 7%.

 

Warranty and repairs and maintenance costs increased by $206,825, or 362%, to $149,729 during the six months ended June 30, 2018 from $(57,096) during the six months ended June 30, 2017. This was primarily attributable to an increase in volume of warranty work performed by third party vendors during the six months ended June 30, 2018 as compared to the 2017 period where we provided repairs at a lower cost.

 

Host provider fees increased by $58,347, or 40%, to $205,732 during the six months ended June 30, 2018 as compared to $147,385 during the six months ended June 30, 2017. This increase was a result of more recent company owned charger station installations having higher revenue share obligations to hosts during the six months ended June 30, 2018 as compared to the same 2017 period, due to a decrease in the volume of residential units sold in 2018.

 

There is a degree of variability in our gross margins related to charging services revenues from period to period primarily due to (i) the mix of revenue share payment arrangements, (ii) electricity reimbursements, and (iii) the costs of maintaining charging stations not currently in operation.

 

Any variability in our gross margins related to equipment sales depends on the mix of products sold. Accordingly, the cost of product sales decreased by $138,351 to $102,820 during the six months June 30, 2018 as compared to $241,171 during the same 2017 period.

 

Network costs decreased by $70,669, or 33%, to $144,225 during the six months ended June 30, 2018 as compared to $214,894 during the six months ended June 30, 2017. This decrease was attributed to renegotiated contracts with service providers.

 

Depreciation and amortization expense declined by $59,009, or 28%, to $152,415 for the six months ended June 30, 2018 as compared to $211,424 for the six months ended June 30, 2017, as some underlying assets became fully depreciated during 2018.

 

Operating Expenses

Compensation expense increased by $1,808,778, or 60%, from $3,011,037 (consisting of approximately $1.9 million of cash compensation and approximately $1.1 million of non-cash compensation) for the six months ended June 30, 2017 to $4,819,815 (consisting of approximately $1.9 million of cash compensation and approximately $2.9 million of non-cash compensation) for the six months ended June 30, 2018. The increase was attributable to an increase in non-cash compensation of $1.8 million due to common stock awards to the Executive Chairman and the Chief Operating Officer.

 

Other operating expenses increased by $223,289, or 49%, from $453,703 for the six months ended June 30, 2017 to $676,992 for the six months ended June 30, 2018. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in product development costs of $103,041 to $107,468 during the six months ended June 30, 2018 related to second generation product development from $4,427 during the six months ended June 30, 2017. Additionally, there was an increase in information technology expense of $19,160 to $49,864 during the six months ended June 30, 2018 from $30,704 during the six months ended June 30, 2017 due to a larger amount of information technology related expenditures during the 2018 period. Additionally, there was an increase in penalties on past due sales and payroll taxes of $105,463 to $173,478 during the six months ended June 30, 2018 from $68,015 during the three months ended June 30, 2017, this increase was due to the payment of past payroll and sales taxes resolved during the period.

 

General and administrative expenses decreased by $69,564, or 13%, from $552,083 for the six months ended June 30, 2017 to $482,519 for the six months ended June 30, 2018. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in professional and legal fees of $105,814 to $303,104 during the six months ended June 30, 2018 compared to $408,918 during the six months ended June 30, 2017 as a result of our focus on the public offering during 2018 and legal costs incurred in conjunction therewith are charged against Offering proceeds.

 

This was partially offset by an increase in stock exchange related fees and transfer agent fees of $33,532 to $42,441 during the six months ended June 30, 2018 compared to $8,909 during the six months ended June 30, 2017.

During the six months ended June 30, 2018, we settled approximately $17.8 million of obligations to JMJ with the issuance of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock, which resulted in a gain of approximately $5.8 million. Additionally, we realized a decrease in the change in fair value of derivative and other accrued liabilities of $4,428,628 to $3,647,835 during the six months ended June 30, 2018 compared to ($780,793) during the six months ended June 30, 2017 as a result of warrant holders exchanging their warrants for equity. During the six months ended June 30, 2018 we recorded a gain on the settlement of accounts payable of $920,352 which increased by $896,424 from $23,928 during the six months ended June 30, 2017 period. This increase was due to liabilities being settled pursuant to agreements contingent upon the closing of our public offering on February 16, 2018. These items were offset by a loss on settlement of liabilities for equity of approximately $2.2 million, a reduction in amortization of debt discount of $1,183,749, as well as a charge of $785,200 related to a contribution of capital by the Executive Chairman during the six months ended June 30, 2018.

 

Net Income (Loss)

 

Our net income (loss) for the six months ended June 30, 2018 increased by $8,485,202, or 113%, to $971,303 as compared to $(7,513,899) for the six months ended June 30, 2017.

Our net loss attributable to common shareholders for the six months ended June 30, 2018 increased by $14,035,729, or 155%, from $9,059,699 to $23,095,428 for the aforementioned reasons and due to an increase in the dividend attributable to Series C Convertible Preferred shareholders of $607,800, as well as the deemed dividend attributable to the immediate accretion of the beneficial conversion feature related to the Series B and C Convertible Preferred Stock of $23,458,931.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

On February 16, 2018, the Company closed its underwritten public offering of an aggregate 4,353,000 shares of the Company’s common stock and warrants to purchase an aggregate of 8,706,000 shares of common stock at a combined public offering price of $4.25 per unit comprised of one share and two warrants. The Public Offering resulted in $18,504,320 and $14,880,815 of gross and net proceeds, respectively, including underwriting discounts, commissions and other offering expenses of $3,623,505, which was recorded as a reduction of additional paid-in capital. Furthermore, during the six months ended June 30, 2018, the Company issued an aggregate of 4,033,660 shares of the Company’s common stock pursuant to the exercise of warrants at an exercise price of $4.25 per share for aggregate gross proceeds of $17,143,056.

 

We measure our liquidity in a number of ways, including the following:

 

   June 30, 2018   December 31, 2017 
   (unaudited)     
         
Cash  $23,996,609   $185,151 
           
Working Capital (Deficiency)  $17,582,649   $(34,762,130)
           
Notes Payable (Gross)  $337,966   $5,095,064 

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2018, we financed our activities from proceeds derived from debt and equity financing. A significant portion of the funds raised from the sale of capital stock has been used to cover working capital needs and personnel, office expenses and various consulting and professional fees.

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, we used cash of $7,895,047 and $1,556,018, respectively, in operations. Our cash used for the six months ended June 30, 2018 was primarily attributable to our net income of $971,303, reduced by net non-cash income in the aggregate amount of $3,541,820, and by $5,324,530 of net cash used in changes in the levels of operating assets and liabilities. Our cash used for the six months ended June 30, 2017 was primarily attributable to our net loss of $7,513,899, adjusted for net non-cash expenses in the aggregate amount of $4,172,923, partially offset by $1,784,958 of net cash provided by changes in the levels of operating assets and liabilities.

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2018, cash used in investing activities was $34,524, which was used to purchase charging stations and other fixed assets. Net cash used in investing activities was $206 during the six months ended June 30, 2017, which was used to purchase charger cables.

 

Net cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2018 was $31,741,029, of which $16,243,055 was attributable to the proceeds from the sale of common stock and warrants in our public offering, reduced by issuance costs related to the public offering of $1,190,082 that were paid by us during the period. In addition, $305,000 was provided in connection with the issuances of notes payable, offset by the repayment of notes payable of $760,000. Additionally, $17,143,056 was provided in connection with warrant exercises to purchase our common stock. Net cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2017 was $1,550,910, of which $1,597,667 was provided in connection with the issuance of convertible notes payable and $84,144 was provided from bank overdrafts, partially offset by $38,263 of payment of future offering costs, $87,823 of payment of debt issuance costs and repayment of notes payable of $4,815.

 

Through June 30, 2018, we incurred an accumulated deficit since inception of $155,463,975. As of June 30, 2018, we had cash and working capital of $23,996,609 and $17,582,649, respectively. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, we had net (loss) income of ($1,232,785) and $971,303, but a loss from operations of $1,834,791 and $5,636,730.

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2018, the Company entered into purchase commitments to acquire second generation charging stations with an aggregate value of $3,156,629. The Company has an aggregate deposit of $986,031 for these charging stations, which is included within other assets on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2018. As of June 30, 2018, the Company had a remaining purchase commitment of $2,170,598, which will come due upon delivery of the charging stations.

There has been no material change in the planned use of proceeds from the public offering as described in our Prospectus, dated February 13, 2018. Approximately $4.4 million was to be used for the repayment of certain debt and other obligations, of which, as of March 27, 2018, approximately $3.8 million, has been paid. The remaining amount will be used as follows:

 

  (1) Approximately $4.0 million for the deployment of charging stations;
  (2) Approximately $1.0 million to expand our product offerings including but not limited to completing the research and development, as well as the launch of our next generation of EV charging equipment;
  (3) Approximately $3.0 million to add additional staff in the areas of finance, sales, customer support, and engineering; and
  (4) The remainder for working capital and other general corporate purposes

 

We believe our current cash on hand is sufficient to meet our obligations, operating and capital requirements for at least the next twelve months from the date of this filing. Thereafter, we may need to raise further capital, through the sale of additional equity or debt securities, or other debt instruments to support our future operations. Our operating needs include the planned costs to operate our business, including amounts required to fund working capital and capital expenditures. Our future capital requirements and the adequacy of our available funds will depend on many factors, including our ability to successfully commercialize our products and services, competing technological and market developments, and the need to enter into collaborations with other companies or acquire other companies or technologies to enhance or complement our product and service offerings. There is also no assurance that the amount of funds we might raise will enable us to complete our development initiatives or attain profitable operations. If we are unable to obtain additional financing on a timely basis, we may have to curtail our development, marketing and promotional activities, which would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations, and ultimately, we could be forced to discontinue our operations and liquidate.

 

Since inception, our operations have primarily been funded through proceeds from equity and debt financings. Although management believes that we have access to capital resources, there are currently no commitments in place for new financing at this time. There is no assurance that we will be able to obtain funds on commercially acceptable terms, if at all.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

 

We are not required to provide the information required by this Item because we are a smaller reporting company.

 

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

As of June 30, 2018, being the end of the period covered by this Report, our management conducted an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).

 

Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted 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 our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

Based on that evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that, as of June 30, 2018, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting as discussed in Item 9A. Controls and Procedures of the Company’s Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017, under the heading “Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting” and that continued to exist as of June 30, 2018.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

We continue to address the remediation of identified weaknesses by hiring additional finance and accounting personnel, including a new Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”) who we hired in July 2018. The CFO will monitor progress in this regard and make arrangements to obtain outside advisory and consulting services to assist with the SOX compliance effort.

 

Except as stated above, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in management's evaluation pursuant to Rules 13a-15(d) or 15d-15(d) of the Exchange Act during the quarter ended June 30, 2018 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

 

Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures

 

In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that management is required to apply judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

 

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

 

For a description of our legal proceedings, see Note 10 – Commitments and Contingencies – Litigation and Disputes in Part 1, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

 

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS.

 

In addition to the information set forth under Item 1A of Part I to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017, the information set forth at the beginning of Management's Discussion and Analysis entitled "Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Information," and updates noted below, you should consider that there are numerous and varied risks, known and unknown, that may prevent us from achieving our goals.  If any of these risks actually occur, our business, financial condition or results of operation may be materially and adversely affected.  In such case, the trading price of our common stock could decline and investors could lose all or part of their investment. These risk factors may not identify all risks that we face and our operations could also be affected by factors that are not presently known to us or that we currently consider to be immaterial to our operations.

 

We have a history of significant losses, and if we do not achieve and sustain profitability, our financial condition could suffer.

 

We have experienced significant net losses, and we expect to continue to incur losses for the foreseeable future. We incurred net losses of approximately $1.2 million and $4.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, and generated net income of approximately $1.0 million and incurred a net loss of approximately $8.0 million during the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, and as of June 30, 2018, our accumulated deficit was approximately $155.5 million.

 

Our net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2018 decreased by $3,183,382, or 72%, to $1,232,785 as compared to $4,416,167 for the three months ended June 30, 2017. The decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease in other income (expenses) of $2,695,152. Our net income (loss) for the six months ended June 30, 2018 increased by $8,485,202, or 113%, to $971,303 as compared to $(7,513,899) for the six months ended June 30, 2017. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in other income (expenses) of $10,108,118.

 

If our revenue grows more slowly than we anticipate, or if our operating expenses are higher than we expect, we may not be able to achieve profitability and our financial condition could suffer. Even if we achieve profitability in the future, we may not be able to sustain profitability in subsequent periods. Whether we can achieve cash flow levels sufficient to support our operations cannot be accurately predicted. Unless such cash flow levels are achieved, we may need to borrow additional funds or sell debt or equity securities, or some combination of both, to provide funding for our operations. Such additional funding may not be available on commercially reasonable terms, or at all.

 

We have a significant number of shares of our common stock issuable upon conversion of certain outstanding options, warrants and convertible preferred stock, and the issuance of such shares upon exercise or conversion will have a significant dilutive impact on our stockholders. Sales of a substantial number of shares of our common stock following the expiration of lock-ups may also adversely affect the market price of our common stock and the issuance of additional shares will dilute all other stockholders.

 

As of August 6, 2018, there are outstanding warrants and stock options to purchase 6,855,224 and 59,568 shares of our common stock, respectively.

 

As of August 6, 2018, there are 2,447,756 shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of our outstanding shares of series D preferred stock.

 

In addition, our articles of incorporation, as amended, permits the issuance of up to approximately [463 million] additional shares of common stock. Thus, we have the ability to issue a substantial number of shares of common stock in the future, which would dilute the percentage ownership held by our stockholders.

 

We and our officers, directors and certain stockholders have agreed, subject to customary exceptions, not to, without the prior written consent of Joseph Gunnar & Co., LLC, the representative of the underwriters in our February 2018 public offering, during the period ending on August 15, 2018 (180 days from February 16, 2018, the closing date of the public offering) in the case of our company and our directors and officers, and up to November 13, 2018 (270 days from February 16, 2018) in the case of certain stockholders, directly or indirectly, offer to sell, sell, pledge or otherwise transfer or dispose of any of shares of our common stock, enter into any swap or other derivatives transaction that transfers to another any of the economic benefits or risks of ownership of shares of our common stock, make any demand for or exercise any right or cause to be filed a registration statement with respect to the registration of any shares of common stock or securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for common stock or any other securities of our company or publicly disclose the intention to do any of the foregoing.

After the lock-up agreements with certain stockholders expire: (i) on November 13, 2018 (270 days from February 16, 2018), unless waived earlier by the representative, up to 8,367,879 shares that had been locked up will be eligible for future sale in the public market. After the lock-up agreements with our directors and officers, Horton Capital and JMJ expire on August 15, 2018 (180 days from February 16, 2018), unless waived earlier by the representative, up to 7,707,819 shares (including shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of our series D preferred stock) that had been locked up will be eligible for future sale in the public market. Sales of a significant number of these shares of common stock in the public market could reduce the market price of the common stock.
