2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Since the Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2022, there have been no material changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies, except as disclosed in this note.

 

FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION

 

The Company’s reporting currency is the United States dollar. The functional currency of certain subsidiaries is the Euro, Indian Rupee, and the Pound Sterling. Assets and liabilities are translated based on the exchange rates at the balance sheet date (1.0884 for the Euro, .0122 for the Indian Rupee, and 1.2368 for the Pound Sterling as of March 31, 2023), while expense accounts are translated at the weighted average exchange rate for the period (1.0741 for the Euro, .0122 for the Indian Rupee, and 1.2206 for the Pound Sterling for the three months ended March 31, 2023). Equity accounts are translated at historical exchange rates. The resulting translation adjustments are recognized in stockholders’ equity as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income. Comprehensive income (loss) is defined as the change in equity of an entity from all sources other than investments by owners or distributions to owners and includes foreign currency translation adjustments as described above. Transaction gains and losses are charged to the condensed consolidated statement of operations as incurred. Transaction gains attributable to foreign exchange were $1,807 and $3 during the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

 

REVENUE RECOGNITION

 

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

 

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.
Charging service revenue – company-owned charging stations - Revenue is recognized at the point when a particular charging session is completed.
Network fees and other – 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 are billed annually.
Other – Other revenues is primarily comprised of revenues generated from alternative fuel credits.

The following table summarizes our revenue recognized in the condensed consolidated statements of operations by geographical area:

 

    2023     2022  
    For The Three Months Ended  
    March 31,  
    2023     2022  
Revenues by Geographical Area

Total Revenue   $ 21,668     $ 9,800  

 

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 goods or services, the Company records deferred revenue until the performance obligations are satisfied.

 

As of March 31, 2023, the Company had $16,902 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 March 31, 2023. The Company expects to satisfy $11,496 of its remaining performance obligations for network fees, charging services, warranty revenue, product sales, and other and recognize the revenue within the next twelve months.

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company recognized $435 of revenues related to network fees and warranty contracts, which were included in deferred revenues as of December 31, 2022. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, there was no revenue recognized from performance obligations satisfied (or partially satisfied) in previous periods.

 

Grants, rebates and alternative fuel credits, which are not within the scope of ASC 606, 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 months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company recorded $49 and $75, respectively, related to grant and rebate revenue. During the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company recognized $51 and $67 of revenue related to alternative fuel credits.

 

Furthermore, ride-sharing services, which are not within scope of ASC 606, pertain to revenues and expenses related to a ride-sharing services agreement with the City of Los Angeles which allows customers the ability to rent electric vehicles through a subscription service. The Company recognizes revenue over the contractual period of performance of the subscription which are short term in nature. During the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company recognized $252 and $239, respectively, related to ride-sharing services revenue.

During the three months ended March 31, 2022, sales to another significant customer represented 12% of total revenue. During the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company made purchases from a significant supplier that represented 16% and 14% of total purchases, respectively.

 

NET LOSS PER COMMON SHARE

 

Basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to common shareholders 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:
