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.

LIQUIDITY

As of September 30, 2023, the Company had cash and working capital of $66,678 and $94,455, respectively.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company sold an aggregate of 5,320,635 shares of common stock under an “at-the-market” equity offering program for aggregate gross proceeds of $28,260, less issuance costs of $647 which were recorded as a reduction to additional paid-in capital. See Note 6 – Stockholders’ Equity.

In February 2023, the Company completed an underwritten registered public offering of 8,333,333 shares of its common stock at a public offering price of $12.00 per share. The Company received approximately $100,000 in gross proceeds from the public offering and approximately $95,000 in net proceeds after deducting the underwriting discount and offering expenses paid by the Company. In addition, the underwriters have a 30-day option to purchase up to an additional 1,249,999 shares of common stock from the Company at the public offering price, less the underwriting discounts and commissions.

The Company has not yet achieved profitability and expects to continue to incur cash outflows from operations. It is expected that our operating expenses will continue to increase and, as a result, we will eventually need to generate significant product revenues to achieve profitability. Historically, we have been able to raise funds to support our business operations, although there can be no assurance that we 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 financings. 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.

During 2023, the Company commenced a plan designed to improve the Company’s liquidity by enhancing revenue economics and reducing selling, general, and administrative expenses. The plan seeks to achieve these goals by increasing gross profit through product optimization, integration of SemaConnect, Blink UK/EB and Blue Corner acquisitions, and reduction of operating expenses through cost avoidance and cost cutting strategies. There can be no assurances these strategies will be achieved.

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 Pound Sterling. Assets and liabilities are translated based on the exchange rates at the balance sheet date (1.0575 for the Euro, 0.1202 for the Indian Rupee, and 1.2202 for the Pound Sterling as of September 30, 2023), while expense amounts are translated at the weighted average exchange rate for the period (1.0644 for the Euro, 0.0120 for the Indian Rupee, and 1.2285 for the Pound Sterling for the nine months ended September 30, 2023). Equity accounts are translated at historical exchange rates. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, expense amounts are translated at the weighted average exchange rate for the period (0.9797 for the Euro, 0.0123 for the Indian Rupee, and 1.1156 for the Pound Sterling). 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 $144 and $925 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively. Transaction losses attributable to foreign exchange were $595 and $836 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively.

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

 SCHEDULE OF REVENUE RECOGNITION BY GEOGRAPHICAL AREA

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 September 30, 2023, the Company had $21,935 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 September 30, 2023. The Company expects to satisfy $12,233 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 and nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company recognized $771 and $1,778 of revenues, respectively, related to network fees and warranty contracts, which were included in deferred revenues as of December 31, 2022. During the nine months ended September 30, 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 September 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company recorded $47 and $83, respectively, related to grant and rebate revenue. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company recorded $284 and $283, respectively, related to grant and rebate revenue. During the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company recognized $65 and $45, respectively, of revenue related to alternative fuel credits. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company recognized $168 and $162, respectively, of revenue related to alternative fuel credits.

Furthermore, car-sharing services, which are not within scope of ASC 606, pertain 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 recognizes revenue over the contractual period of performance of the subscription which are short term in nature. During the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company recognized $903 and $367, respectively, related to car-sharing services revenue. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company recognized $2,112 and $885, respectively, related to car-sharing services revenue.

CONCENTRATIONS

During the three months ended September 30, 2023, the Company made purchases from a significant supplier that represented 17% of total purchases. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company made purchases from a significant supplier that represented 20% and 26% of total purchases, respectively. As of September 30, 2023, accounts payable to two significant vendors represented 19% and 18% of total accounts payable, respectively.

NET LOSS PER COMMON SHARE

Basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing the 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 the 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:

RECENTLY ADOPTED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

In July 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-03, “Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205), Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220), Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (Topic 480), Equity (Topic 505), and Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 120, SEC Staff Announcement at the March 24, 2022 EITF Meeting, and Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 6.B, Accounting Series Release 280—General Revision of Regulation S-X: Income or Loss Applicable to Common Stock.” ASU 2023-03 amends the ASC for SEC updates pursuant to SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 120; SEC Staff Announcement at the March 24, 2022 Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) Meeting; and Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 6.B, Accounting Series Release 280 - General Revision of Regulation S-X: Income or Loss Applicable to Common Stock. These updates were immediately effective and did not have a significant impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

In August 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-05, “Business Combinations - Joint Venture Formations (Subtopic 805-60): Recognition and Initial Measurement,” under which an entity that qualifies as either a joint venture or a corporate joint venture as defined in the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) master glossary is required to apply a new basis of accounting upon the formation of the joint venture. Specifically, the ASU provides that a joint venture or a corporate joint venture (collectively, “joint ventures”) must initially measure its assets and liabilities at fair value on the formation date., the amendments are effective for all joint ventures within the ASU’s scope that are formed on or after January 1, 2025. Early adoption is permitted in any annual or interim period as of the beginning of the related fiscal year. The adoption of this pronouncement is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

In October 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-06, “Disclosure Improvements.” For entities subject to the SEC’s existing disclosure requirements and for entities required to file or furnish financial statements with or to the SEC in preparation for the sale of or for purposes of issuing securities that are not subject to contractual restrictions on transfer, the effective date for each amendment will be the date on which the SEC’s removal of that related disclosure from Regulation S-X or Regulation S-K becomes effective. If by June 30, 2027, the SEC has not removed the applicable requirement from Regulation S-X or Regulation S-K, the pending content of the related amendment will be removed from the Codification and will not become effective for any entity. The adoption of this pronouncement is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.
