ORGANIZATION
 
Car Charging Group Inc. (“CCGI”) was incorporated on October 3, 2006 under the laws of the State of Nevada as New Image Concepts, Inc. On November 20, 2009, New Image Concepts, Inc. changed its name to Car Charging Group, Inc.
 
Car Charging, Inc. was incorporated as a Delaware corporation on September 3, 2009. Car Charging Inc. was created to develop electric charging service facilities for the electric vehicle (EV) automobile market. Pursuant to its business plan,  CCGI through its wholly owned subsidiaries acquires and installs EV charging stations, and shares servicing fees received from customers that use the charging stations with the property owner(s), on a property by property basis. Additionally, CCGI through its wholly owned subsidiaries sells hardware to others and enters into individual arrangements for this purpose with various property owners, which may include cities, counties, garage operators, hospitals, multi- family properties, shopping-malls and facility owner/operators.
 
Merger
 
Through June 30, 2014, the CCGI and its wholly owned subsidiaries (the “Company” or “Car Charging”) has incurred an accumulated deficiency since inception of $56,882,107.   At June 30, 2014, the Company had a cash balance of $2,280,006.   The Company has incurred additional losses subsequent to June 30, 2014.  The Company has identified cost reduction and revenue generating measures which when implemented will result in a reduction in employee headcount, inventory sales, and other cost savings measures. These actions are expected to result in annual cost savings which should start to be realized toward the end of the third quarter of 2014.  At August 19, 2014, the Company had a cash balance of approximately $922,000.
 
LIQUIDITY
 
Through June 30, 2014, the Company has incurred an accumulated deficiency since inception of $56,882,107.   At June 30, 2014, the Company had a cash balance of $2,280,006. The Company has incurred additional losses subsequent to June 30, 2014.  The Company has identified cost reduction and revenue generating measures which when implemented will result in a reduction in employee headcount, inventory sales, and other cost savings measures. These actions are expected to result in annual cost savings which should start to be realized toward the end of the third quarter of 2014.  At August 19, 2014, the Company had a cash balance of approximately $922,000.
 
The Company expects that through the next 12 months, the capital requirements to fund the Company’s growth and to cover the operating costs will consume substantially all of the cash flows that it expects to generate from its operations, as well as from the proceeds of intended issuances of debt and equity securities. The Company further believes that during this period, while the Company is focusing on the growth and expansion of its business, the gross profit that it expects to generate from operations will not generate sufficient funds to cover anticipated operating costs. Accordingly, the Company requires external funding to sustain operations and to follow through on the execution of its business plan. However, there can be no assurance that the Company’s plans will materialize and/or that the Company will be successful in funding estimated cash shortfalls through additional debt or equity capital and through the cash generated by the Company’s operations. Given these conditions, the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is contingent upon it being able to secure an adequate amount of debt or equity capital to enable it to meet its cash requirements. In addition, the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern must be considered in light of the problems, expenses and complications frequently encountered by entrants into established markets, the competitive environment in which the Company operates and the current capital raising environment.
 
Since inception, the Company’s operations have primarily been funded through proceeds from equity and debt financings. Although management believes that the Company has access to capital resources, there are currently no commitments in place for new financing at this time, and there is no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain funds on commercially acceptable terms, if at all.
 
The Company intends to raise additional funds during the next six months. The additional capital would be used to fund the Company’s operations. The current level of cash and operating margins is not enough to cover the existing fixed and variable obligations of the Company, so increased revenue performance and the addition of capital through issuances of securities are critical to the Company’s success. Should the Company not be able to raise additional capital through a private placement or some other financing source, the Company would take one or more of the following actions to conserve cash: further reductions in employee headcount, reduction in base salaries to senior executives and employees, and other cost reduction measures. Assuming that the Company is successful in its growth plans and development efforts, the Company believes that it will be able to raise additional funds through sales of its stock. There is no guarantee that the Company will be able to raise such additional funds on acceptable terms, if at all.
 
These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that might be necessary should it be unable to continue as a going concern.
