2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Since the Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2023, there have been no material changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies, except as disclosed in this note.

 

LIQUIDITY

 

As of June 30, 2024, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $73,885 and working capital of $111,801. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company incurred a net loss of $20,059 and $37,232, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company used cash in operating activities of $25,735.

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company sold an aggregate of 8,177,472 shares of common stock under an “at-the-market” equity offering program for aggregate gross proceeds of $25,651, less issuance costs of $581. See Note 10 – Stockholders’ Equity.

 

The Company has not yet achieved profitability and expects to continue to incur cash outflows from operations. Historically, the Company has been able to raise funds to support its business operations, although there can be no assurance that it will be successful in raising significant additional funds in the future. The Company expects that its cash on hand will fund its operations for at least 12 months after the issuance date of these financial statements.

 

Since inception, the Company’s operations have primarily been funded through proceeds received in equity and debt financing. The Company believes it has access to capital resources and continues to evaluate additional financing opportunities. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain funds on commercially acceptable terms, if at all. 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.

 

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. The Company is executing its plan designed to improve the Company’s liquidity by enhancing revenue economics, increasing gross profit through product optimization, integration of acquisitions and reduction of operating expenses through cost avoidance and cost cutting strategies. There can be no assurances that these strategies will be achieved.

 

INVENTORY

 

As of June 30, 2024, the Company’s inventory was comprised $31,932 of finished goods that were available for sale and $12,522 of raw material and work in process. As of December 31, 2023, the Company’s inventory was comprised of $33,902 of finished goods that were available for sale and $14,040 of raw material and work in process.

 

FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION

 

Transaction (losses) gains attributable to foreign exchange were $(15) and $(45) during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively. Transaction (losses) gains attributable to foreign exchange were $(1,026) and $781 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively. Transaction gains and losses attributable to foreign exchange are included within general and administrative expenses on the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023.

 

ASSETS HELD FOR SALE

 

The Company initially measures an asset that is classified as held for sale at the lower of its carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell. The Company assesses the fair value of an asset less costs to sell each reporting period that it remains classified as held for sale, and reports any subsequent changes as an adjustment to the carrying amount of the asset. Assets are not depreciated or amortized while they are classified as held for sale.

 

Office Space

 

During the first quarter of 2024, the Company commenced plans to sell its approximately 10,000 square feet of office space in Miami Beach, Florida. The asset is included within property and equipment on the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2024. The asset’s carrying value was $3,675 and $3,692 as of June 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023, respectively.

 

Underperforming Subsidiary

 

During the first quarter of 2024, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a plan to sell a subsidiary’s underperforming assets. On April 30, 2024, the Company entered into an agreement to sell the subsidiary’s installed and inventory charging units and the associated agreements with existing customers, hosts, and drivers. This transaction was completed and funded on July 3, 2024. As a result, the Company recorded an estimated loss of $119 and $683 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, which is included in operating expenses on the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. The Company elected not to present this underperforming subsidiary as discontinued operations because it is immaterial to the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

REVENUE RECOGNITION

 

The Company recognizes revenue primarily from the following:

 

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 warranty – 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.
Car-sharing services Relates to revenues attributable to a car-sharing services which provides customers the ability to rent electric vehicles through a subscription service.
Grant and rebate – Relates 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.
Other – Other revenues are primarily comprised of revenues generated from alternative fuel credits.

 

The following table summarizes revenue recognized in the condensed consolidated statements of operations:

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

 

    2024     2023     2024     2023  
    For The Three Months Ended     For The Six Months Ended  
    June 30,     June 30,

Total Revenue   $ 33,262     $ 32,842     $ 70,830     $ 54,510  

 

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, 2024, the Company had $28,707 related to contract liabilities where performance obligations have not yet been satisfied, which has been included within deferred revenue on the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2024. The Company expects to satisfy $15,192 of its remaining performance obligations for network fees, warranty revenue, product sales, and other and recognize the revenue within the next twelve months.

 

The Company has elected to apply the practical expedient to expense costs to obtain contracts at the time the liability is incurred when the expected amortization period is one year or less.

 

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company recognized $2,624 and $5,072 of revenues, respectively, related to network fees and warranty contracts, which were included in deferred revenues as of December 31, 2023. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, there was no revenue recognized from performance obligations satisfied (or partially satisfied) in previous periods as specified by ASC 606-10-50-12A.

REVENUE RECOGNITION – CONTINUED

 

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 June 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company recorded $52 and $188, respectively, related to grant and rebate revenue. During the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company recorded $635 and $237, respectively, related to grant and rebate revenue. During the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company recognized $31 and $52 respectively, of revenue related to alternative fuel credits. During the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company recognized $75 and $103, respectively, of revenue related to alternative fuel credits.

 

Car-sharing services is accounted for under ASC Topic 842, Leases, and pertains to revenues and expenses related to a car-sharing services agreement with the City of Los Angeles which allows customers the ability to rent electric vehicles through a subscription service. The Company accounts for such rentals as operating leases. The lease terms are included in the Company’s contracts, and the determination of whether the Company’s contracts contain leases generally does not require significant assumptions or judgments. The Company’s lease revenues do not include material amounts of variable payments. The Company does not provide an option for the lessee to purchase the rented equipment at the end of the lease.

 

The Company is unsure of when the customer will return rented equipment. As such, the Company does not know how much the customer will owe it upon return of the equipment and, therefore, cannot provide a maturity analysis of future lease payments. The Company’s equipment is generally rented for short periods of time (generally a few minutes to a few hours). Lessees do not provide residual value guarantees on rented equipment.

 

The Company expects to derive significant future benefits from its equipment following the end of the rental term. The Company’s equipment is typically rented for the majority of the time that the Company owns it. The Company recognizes revenue over the contractual period of performance of the subscription which are short term in nature. During the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company recognized $1,202 and $957, respectively, related to car-sharing services revenue. During the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company recognized $2,299 and $1,209, respectively, related to car-sharing services revenue.

During the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, sales to another significant customer represented 12% and 0% of total revenue, respectively. During the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company made purchases from a significant supplier that represented 21% and 14% of total purchases, respectively.

As of December 31, 2023, accounts payable to two significant vendors were approximately 16% and 10% of total accounts payable.

 

RECLASSIFICATIONS

 

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

 

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:

 

    2024     2023  
    For the Three and Six Months Ended  
    June 30,  
    2024     2023  
Warrants     1,150,152       1,150,152  
Options     908,162       946,685  
Total potentially dilutive shares     2,058,314       2,096,837
