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.

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

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

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.
