GOING CONCERN AND MANAGEMENT’S PLANS
As of March 31, 2015, the Company had a cash
balance, a working capital deficiency and an accumulated deficit of $322,871, $16,526,099 and $68,473,901, respectively. During
the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company incurred a net loss of $3,682,033 and $3,858,917, respectively. These
conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
Since
inception, the Company’s operations have primarily been funded through proceeds received in 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. 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.
The
accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”), which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern
and the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The condensed consolidated financial
statements do not include any adjustment that might become necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
Subsequent
to March 31, 2015, an additional $1,500,000 was released from escrow associated with the 2014 sale of Series C Convertible Preferred
Stock and the Company received an aggregate of $2,580,040 through new sales of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock. The Company
is currently funding its operations on a month-to-month basis. While there can be no assurance that it will be successful,
the Company is in active negotiations to raise additional capital. See Note 11 – Subsequent Events for additional details.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
PRINCIPLES
OF CONSOLIDATION
The
condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of CCGI and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, including Car Charging,
Inc., Beam Charging LLC (“Beam”), EV Pass LLC, Blink Network LLC (“Blink”) and Car Charging China Corp.
(“Car Charging China”).
Through
April 16, 2014, 350 Green LLC (“350 Green”) was a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and was consolidated. Beginning
on April 17, 2014, when 350 Green’s assets and liabilities were transferred to a trust mortgage (see Note 4 – Assets
and Liabilities Transferred to Trust Mortgage – 350 Green), and through March 31, 2015, 350 Green was a VIE, without recourse
to the Company. The consolidation guidance relating to accounting for Variable Interest Entities (“VIE”) requires
an enterprise to perform an analysis to determine whether the enterprise’s variable interest or interests give it a controlling
financial interest in a variable interest entity and perform ongoing reassessments of whether an enterprise is the primary beneficiary
of a VIE. The Company determined that it is the primary beneficiary of 350 Green, and as such, 350 Green’s assets, liabilities
and results of operations are included in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES – CONTINUED
USE
OF ESTIMATES
Preparation
of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect
the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, together with amounts disclosed in the related notes to the
financial statements. The Company’s significant estimates used in these financial statements include, but are not limited
to, stock-based compensation, warranty reserves, inventory valuations, the valuation allowance related to the Company’s
deferred tax assets, the carrying amount of intangible assets, estimates of future EV sales and the effects thereon, and the recoverability
and useful lives of long-lived assets. Certain of the Company’s estimates, including the carrying amount of the intangible
assets, could be affected by external conditions, including those unique to the Company and general economic conditions. It is
reasonably possible that these external factors could have an effect on the Company’s estimates and could cause actual results
to differ from those estimates.
ACCOUNTS
RECEIVABLE
Accounts
receivable are carried at their contractual amounts, less an estimate for uncollectible amounts. As of March 31, 2015 and December
31, 2014, there was an allowance for uncollectable amounts of $132,667 and $119,936, respectively. Management estimates the allowance
for bad debts based on existing economic conditions, the financial conditions of the customers, and the amount and age of past
due accounts. Receivables are considered past due if full payment is not received by the contractual due date. Past due accounts
are generally written off against the allowance for bad debts only after all collection attempts have been exhausted. There is
no collateral held by the Company for accounts receivable nor does any accounts receivable serve as collateral for any of the
Company’s borrowings with the exception of the Company’s convertible note payable further described in Note 6 –
Notes Payable – Convertible Note Payable.
DERIVATIVE
FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The
Company evaluates its convertible instruments to determine if those contracts or embedded components of those contracts qualify
as derivative financial instruments to be separately accounted for in accordance with Topic 815 of the Financial Accounting Standards
Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”). The accounting treatment of derivative financial
instruments requires that the Company record the embedded conversion option and warrants at their fair values as of the inception
date of the agreement and at fair value as of each subsequent balance sheet date. Any change in fair value is recorded as non-operating,
non-cash income or expense for each reporting period at each balance sheet date. The Company reassesses the classification of
its derivative instruments at each balance sheet date. If the classification changes as a result of events during the period,
the contract is reclassified as of the date of the event that caused the reclassification.
The
Binomial Lattice Model was used to estimate the fair value of the warrants and conversion options that are classified as derivative
liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The model includes subjective input assumptions that can materially
affect the fair value estimates. The expected volatility is estimated based on the most recent historical period of time equal
to the weighted average life of the warrants or conversion options.
Conversion
options are recorded as a discount to the host instrument and are amortized as interest expense over the life of the underlying
instrument.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES – CONTINUED
FAIR
VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The
Company measures the fair value of financial assets and liabilities based on the guidance of ASC 820 “Fair Value Measurements
and Disclosures” (“ASC 820”) which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and
expands disclosures about fair value measurements.
ASC
820 defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price)
in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants
on the measurement date. ASC 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable
inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. ASC 820 describes three levels of inputs that may
be used to measure fair value:
Level
1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
Level
2 — quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or inputs that are observable
Level
3 — inputs that are unobservable (for example, cash flow modeling inputs based on assumptions)
The
carrying amounts of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities, such as cash, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses,
accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate fair values due to the short-term nature of these instruments. The carrying
amount of the Company’s notes payable approximates fair value because the effective yields on these obligations, which include
contractual interest rates, taken together with other features such as concurrent issuance of warrants, are comparable to rates
of returns for instruments of similar credit risk.
REVENUE
RECOGNITION
The
Company recognizes revenue when it is realized or realizable and earned. The Company considers revenue realized or realizable
and earned when all of the following criteria are met: (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (ii) the services have
been rendered to the customer, (iii) the sales price is fixed or determinable, and (iv) collectability is reasonably assured.
Accordingly, when a customer completes use of a charging station, the service can be deemed rendered and revenue may be recognized
based on the time duration of the session or kilowatt hours drawn during the session. Sales of EV stations are recognized upon
shipment to the customer, free on board shipping point, or the point of customer acceptance.
Governmental
grants and rebates pertaining to revenues and periodic expenses are recognized as income when the related revenue and/or periodic
expense are recorded. Government 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.
For
arrangements with multiple elements, which is comprised of (1) a charging unit, (2) installation of the charging unit, (3) maintenance
and (4) network fees, revenue is recognized dependent upon whether vendor specific objective evidence (“VSOE”) of
fair value exists for separating each of the elements. We determined that VSOE exists for both the delivered and undelivered elements
of our multiple-element arrangements. We limit our assessment of fair value to either (a) the price charged when the same element
is sold separately or (b) the price established by management having the relevant authority.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES – CONTINUED
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, the fair value of the award is measured on the grant date and for non-employees, the fair value of the award is
measured on the grant date and re-measured on vesting dates and interim financial reporting dates until the service period is
complete. 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
Basic
net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of vested common shares outstanding
during the period. Diluted net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number vested of
common shares, plus the net impact of common shares (computed using the treasury stock method), if dilutive, resulting from the
exercise of outstanding stock options and warrants, plus the conversion of preferred stock.
The
following common stock equivalents are excluded from the calculation of weighted average dilutive common shares because their

ASSETS AND LIABILITIES TRANSFERRED TO TRUST MORTGAGE – 350 GREEN
On
April 17, 2014, the Company’s Board of Directors executed a resolution to form a trust mortgage relating to 350 Green. On
May 29, 2014, the Company and EVSE Management LLC (“EVSE”) entered into a Management Services Agreement and on June
27, 2014, EVSE purchased certain assets from 350 Green. On September 8, 2014, the Company entered into an agreement among the
trustee of 350 Green, an attorney, 350 Green and the Company whereby the Company would pay the legal fees incurred in connection
with an action brought by 350 Green against JNS Power and Control Systems, Inc. (“JNS”). On September 30, 2014, the
Company (“Assignor”) entered into an Assignment Agreement with Green 350 Trust Mortgage LLC (“Assignee”),
an entity formed by the trustee for the sole purpose to entering into this transaction, under which Assignor, the sole member
of 350 Green, irrevocably assigned, sold and transferred 100% of the limited liability company membership interests in 350 Green
to Assignee and Assignee accepted such transfer in consideration of receipt of $100 as of September 30, 2014.
The
Company determined that it is the primary beneficiary of 350 Green due to the subordinated financing arrangements as well as the
Company being the primary beneficiary in the outcome of the action against JNS as of March 31, 2015 and, as such, 350 Green’s
assets and liabilities and results of operations are included in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.
Through April 16, 2014, 350 Green was a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and was consolidated. Beginning on April 17, 2014
and through March 31, 2015, 350 Green was a VIE, without recourse to the Company.

REGISTRATION
RIGHTS PENALTY
In
connection with the sale of the Company’s common stock and warrants during the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company
granted the purchasers and the placement agents registration rights on the common stock and warrants within 60 days of the date
of the sale of the stock, as amended. The Stock Purchase Agreement (“SPA”) provided for a penalty provision of 1%
of the gross proceeds for each month that the shares are not registered, not to exceed 10%. The Securities and Exchange Commission
(“SEC”) notified the Company that it could not review its registration statement until such time as the Company furnished
two years of audited financial statements of 350 Green and ECOtality as the acquisitions were deemed significant. The Company
sought a waiver of the audit requirement but the SEC denied the granting of a waiver. On February 5, 2015, the holders of a majority
of the shares affected by the registration rights penalty granted the Company the option to satisfy the accrued registration rights
penalty and related interest as of December 23, 2014 totaling $1,724,823 in Series C Convertible Preferred Stock with a stated
value of $100 per share, in lieu of cash. The Company elected this option which required the Company to pay a 20% premium causing
the liability to increase to $1,850,188, exclusive of interest of $219,600. On February 10, 2015, the Company issued 20,414 shares
of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock and on March 31, 2015, the Company issued the remaining 283 shares of Series C Convertible
Preferred Stock, such that there was no liability as of March 31, 2015.
In
connection with the sale of the Company’s Series C Convertible Preferred Stock during the year ended December 31, 2014,
the Company granted the purchasers registration rights. As of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company was not in a position
to furnish two years of audited financial statements of 350 Green and ECOtality to the SEC, therefore the SEC is unable to review
any registration statement, if submitted. As a result, the Company accrued $500,000 of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock registration
rights penalties, which represents 10% of the final Series C Convertible Preferred Stock issuance dollar amount.
DUE
TO CREDITORS COMMITTEE OF THE ECOTALITY ESTATE
During
the three months ended March 31, 2015, $110,965 was paid to the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors (“Creditors”)
on behalf of the Electric Transportation Engineering Corporation of America (“ECOtality”) estate directly to their
professional service providers. See Note 11 – Subsequent Events – ECOtality Estate.
ACCRUED
PUBLIC INFORMATION FEE
In
accordance with the SPA of October 11, 2013 and December 9, 2013, the Company was required to be compliant with Rule 144(c)(1)
of the SEC, as defined, so as to enable investors to sell their holdings of Company shares in accordance with the SPA. In the
event of the Company’s noncompliance with Rule 144(c)(1) at any time after the six (6) month anniversary of the offering,
the investors are entitled to receive a cash fee of 1% of the aggregate subscription amount of the purchaser’s securities,
plus an additional 1% for every pro rata 30 day period that the Company is not in compliance. During 2015, the Company was late
with several SEC filings resulting in its non-compliance with Rule 144(c)(1). As of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the
Company had accrued $1,175,017 and $711,517, respectively, associated with the obligation.
WARRANTS
PAYABLE
In
conjunction with the Beam acquisition, the agreement provided for anti-dilution protection to former members of Beam until such
time as a former member sells or disposes of all of his CCGI common stock. As specified in the agreement, if the Company issues
securities below $1.58 (a “Triggering Event”), the Company is required to issue a one-year warrant to each former
member to purchase an additional number of Company common shares at the Triggering Event price. The Company has accrued for warrants
payable based on the Triggering Events that have occurred through March 31, 2015, as discussed in Note 9 – Stockholders’
Deficiency. During the three months ended March 31, 2015, the Company issued one-year warrants to purchase an aggregate of 251,927
of common stock at an estimated fair value of $10,353 to the former Beam members. The warrants had exercise prices ranging from
$0.34 to $1.05 per share.

WARRANTS
See
Note 6 – Notes Payable for details associated with the issuance of a warrant in connection with a note extension.
See
Note 7 – Fair Value Measurement for details associated with the issuances of warrants to the former members of Beam.
On
February 25, 2015, the Company entered into an agreement with certain investors in the October 2013 financing whereby the investors
were issued warrants to purchase 3,336,734 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.70 per share
which vested immediately, expire five years from the date of issuance and contain weighted average anti-dilution and fundamental
transaction provisions, as defined. These additional warrants represent the warrants the investors would have received as a result
of the December 23, 2014 financing had they not previously surrendered their anti-dilution protection during 2014. The warrants,
which were classified as derivative liabilities, had an aggregate fair value of $275,908, which was recognized immediately. Additionally,
as a result of the December 23, 2014 financing, the exercise price of warrants to purchase an aggregate of 19,599,999 shares of
common stock issued to the October 2013 and December 2013 investors was reduced to $0.70 per share. As the warrants are classified
as derivative liabilities, the impact of the modification was included within change in fair value of warrant liabilities on the
condensed consolidated statement of operations during the three months ended March 31, 2015.

LITIGATION
AND DISPUTES
From
time to time, the Company is a defendant or plaintiff in various legal actions that arise in the normal course of business.
350
GREEN, LLC
There
have been five lawsuits filed against 350 Green by creditors of 350 Green regarding unpaid claims. These lawsuits relate solely
to alleged pre-acquisition unpaid debts of 350 Green. Also, there are other unpaid creditors, aside from those noted above, that
claim to be owed certain amounts for pre-acquisition work done on behalf of 350 Green solely, that potentially could file lawsuits
at some point in the future.
On
August 7, 2014, 350 Green received a copy of a complaint filed by Sheetz, a former vendor of 350 Green alleging breach of contract
and unjust enrichment of $112,500. The complaint names 350 Green, 350 Holdings LLC and CCGI in separate breach of contract counts
and names all three entities together in an unjust enrichment claim. CCGI and 350 Holdings will seek to be dismissed from the
litigation, because, as the complaint is currently plead, there is no legal basis to hold CCGI or 350 Green liable for a contract
to which they are not parties. The parties held a mediation conference on May 15, 2015 but no settlement was reached. The parties
continue to negotiate a settlement.

Overview
Car
Charging Group, Inc. (OTCPink: “CCGI”, “CarCharging” or “Company”) is the largest owner, operator,
and provider of electric vehicle (“EV”) charging services. CarCharging offers both residential and commercial EV charging
equipment, enabling EV drivers to easily recharge at numerous location types. Headquartered in Miami Beach, FL with offices in
San Jose, CA, New York, NY, and Phoenix, AZ, CarCharging’s business model is designed to expand EV charging infrastructure
availability.
CarCharging
owns the Blink Network, the software that operates, maintains, and tracks all of the Blink EV charging stations and the associated
charging data.
CarCharging
offers various options to commercial and residential property owners for EV charging services. In our comprehensive and turnkey
business model, CarCharging owns and operates the EV charging equipment; manages the installation, maintenance, and related services;
and shares a portion of the EV charging revenue with the property owner. Alternatively, property partners can share in the equipment
and installation expenses with CarCharging operating and managing the EV charging stations and providing connectivity to the Blink
Network. For properties interested in purchasing and owning EV charging stations, CarCharging can also provide EV charging hardware,
site recommendations, connection to the Blink Network, and management and maintenance services.
Sales
Our
revenues are primarily derived from hardware sales, public EV charging services, government grants, state and federal rebates,
and marketing incentives. EV charging fees are based either on an hourly rate, a per kilowatt-hour rate, or by session, and are
calculated based on a variety of factors, including associated station costs and local electricity tariffs. We anticipate implementing
charger occupancy fees and subscription plans for our Blink-owned public charging locations.
To
generate leads and enter into additional strategic partnership agreements with property owners, we have utilized the services
of independent contractors and in house personnel. We have found that by following this model, we are better able to stimulate
growth, control cash-flow, and minimize costs. Accordingly, our independent contractors are able to close and maintain client
relationships, as well as coordinate EV charging station installations and operations.

Purchase Agreement, the Company issued the following to the Purchaser: (i) 18,333 shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock
with a stated value of $100 per share, and (ii) warrants to purchase an aggregate of 2,618,997 shares of common stock for an exercise
price of $1.00 per share.
On
March 11, 2016, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with Eventide Gilead Fund (the “Purchaser”)
for proceeds of an aggregate of $2,900,040 (“Subscription Amount”), of which, $650,040 was paid to the Company at
closing and the remaining $2,250,000 (“Milestone Amounts”) is payable to the Company upon the completion of certain
milestones (“Milestones”), as specified in the agreement. Pursuant to the agreement, the Company will issue the following
to the Purchaser: (i) 48,334 shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock with a stated value of $100 per share (of which, 10,834
shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock were issued to the Purchaser at closing), and (ii) five-year warrants to purchase
an aggregate of 6,904,857 shares of common stock for an exercise price of $1.00 per share (of which, a warrant to purchase 1,547,714
shares of common stock was issued to the Purchaser at closing). If, by June 24, 2016, the Company has not met sufficient Milestones
for payment of the full Subscription Amount, then the Purchaser will have no further obligation to pay further Milestone Amounts
and the Purchaser shall only be entitled to receive such additional securities that correspond to the portion of the Subscription
Amount paid by Purchaser. If (i) the Company fails to achieve annual overall revenue growth of 20% measured year to year (e.g.,
Q3 2016 compared to Q3 2015) based on its most recent public filings; and (ii) the Company fails to achieve at least a 25% increase
in the value of purchase orders received for Generation 2 Hardware (with a minimum average 40% gross margin) quarter over quarter

holders of the shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock request a redemption; and (iv) the Company chooses not to honor
the redemption request; then, within 180 days from the Company’s receipt of notice from at least 60% of the holders of the
shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock, the Company will use reasonable efforts to enter into an agreement to sell substantially
all of its assets and use the proceeds to pay all creditors and shareholders according to their position and in accordance with
applicable laws. In the event the Company does not complete the sale of substantially all of its assets within said 180 day period,
Michael D. Farkas agrees to vote all shares of voting capital stock of the Company registered in his name or beneficially owned
by him as of the date hereof in accordance with the instructions of at least 60% of the holders of the shares of Series C Convertible
Preferred Stock on questions relating to the liquidation of the Company and any other questions, including without limitation,
Board of Directors modifications, necessary to effect a Company liquidation. In the event of the Company’s noncompliance
with Rule 144(c)(1) at any time after the six (6) month anniversary of the offering, the Purchaser is entitled to receive a cash
fee equal to 1% of the aggregate subscription amount of the Purchaser’s securities, plus an additional 1% for every pro
rata 30 day period that the Company is not in compliance. As defined in the agreement, from the date of closing until such time
as the Purchaser holds any of the warrants, the Company is prohibited from entering into any variable rate transactions. For a
period of one year, the Purchaser have the option to exchange all or a portion of the shares of Series C Convertible Preferred
Stock purchased pursuant to agreement for any securities placed by the Company in a future equity financing transaction, based
on a Series C Convertible Preferred Stock value equal to 125% of the purchase price for financing closed prior to April 30, 2016
and otherwise based on a Series C Convertible Preferred Stock value equal to $90 per share.

Consolidated
Results of Operations
Three
Months Ended March 31, 2015 Compared With Three Months Ended March 31, 2014
Revenues
We
have generated charging service revenue of $389,785 related to installed EV charging stations for three months ended March 31,
2015 as compared to $255,659 in service fees for the three months ended March 31, 2014, an increase of $134,126, or 52%, which
is primarily a result of the Company’s participation in a program sponsored by Nissan North America to provide free electric
charging to purchasers of Nissan Leafs in certain markets in the United States commencing in July 2014. On April 2, 2015, Nissan
North America notified the Company of the termination of the joint marketing agreement with the Company as a result of the Company’s
material default of the agreement in 2015.
Grant
revenue increased from $62,633 to $646,185 during the three months ended March 31, 2015, an increase of $583,552, or 932%. Grants,
rebate and incentives, collectively “grant revenue” relating to equipment and the related installation are deferred
and amortized in a manner consistent with the depreciation expense of the related assets over their useful lives. Grant revenue
during the three months ended March 31, 2015 was primarily derived from our agreement with the Bay Area Air Quality Management
District.
Equipment
sales increased from $37,393 to $220,807 during the three months ended March 31, 2015, an increase of $183,414, or 491%. The increase
was primarily due to sales of residential and commercial chargers.
During
the three months ended March 31, 2015, other revenues were $34,524, which were comprised of network and transaction fees earned
from our hosts. No such fees were in effect during the three months ended March 31, 2014.
Cost
of Revenues
Cost of revenues primarily
consists of depreciation of installed charging stations, amortization of the Blink Network infrastructure, the cost of charging
station goods and related services sold, electricity reimbursements and revenue share payments to hosts when we are the primary
obligor in the revenue share arrangement. Cost of revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2015 were $1,008,074 as compared
to $1,312,201 for the three months ended March 31, 2014, a decrease of $304,127, or 23%, primarily due to a reduction in depreciation
and amortization expenses resulting from the impairment of certain fixed assets in 2014.
Operating
Expenses
Operating
expenses consist of selling, marketing, advertising, payroll, administrative, finance and professional expenses.
Compensation
expense increased by $963,927, or 53%, from $1,820,727 for the three months ended March 31, 2014 to $2,784,654 for the three months
ended March 31, 2015. The increase was primarily attributable to share-based payments with a fair value of $875,000 made to our
newly-appointed Chief Operating Officer during the three months ended March 31, 2015 under the terms of an employment agreement,
as well as increased payroll expenses of approximately $161,000 due to increased salaries and headcount as compared to the prior
period.
Other
operating expenses consist primarily of rent, travel and IT expenses. Other operating expenses decreased by $86,293, or 21%, from
$402,863 for the three months ended March 31, 2014 to $316,570 for the three months ended March 31, 2015. The decrease was primarily
attributable to reduced sales taxes and personal property taxes as compared to the prior period.
General
and administrative expenses decreased by $253,554, or 26%, from $965,634 for the three months ended March 31, 2014 to $712,080
for the three months ended March 31, 2015. The decrease was primarily as a result of a reduction in amortization expense of approximately
$249,000 resulting from the impairment of certain intangible assets in 2014.
Other
(Expense) Income
Other
(expense) income decreased by $438,779, or 153%, from $286,823 for the three months ended March 31, 2014 to $(151,956) for the
three months ended March 31, 2015. The increase was attributable to:
|
●
|
A
gain from the change in the fair value of warrant liabilities of $598,009 during the three months ended March 31, 2015, as
compared to $284,365 during the three months ended March 31, 2015, an increase of $882,782.
|
|
|
|
|
●

An
increase in the gain on settlement of accounts payable of $3,711 as compared to the prior period.

Net
Loss
Our net loss for the three
months ended March 31, 2015 decreased by $176,884, or 5%, to $3,682,033 as compared to $3,858,917 for the three months ended March
31, 2014. The decrease was primarily attributable to an increase in gross profit of $1,239,743, partially offset by an increase
in operating expenses of $624,080 and increase in other expenses of $438,779. Our net loss attributable to common shareholders
for the three months ended March 31, 2015 increased by $78,853, or 2%, from $3,858,917 to $3,937,770 for the aforementioned reasons
and due to dividends attributable to Series C Convertible Preferred shareholders of $202,000.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
During
the three months ended March 31, 2015, we financed our activities from proceeds derived from sales of our capital stock. A significant
portion of the funds raised from the sale of capital stock have been used to cover working capital needs and personnel, office
expenses and various consulting and professional fees.
For the three months ended
March 31, 2015 and 2014, we used cash of $2,621,345 and $2,095,061 from operations respectively. Our cash use for the three months
ended March 31, 2015 was primarily attributable to our net loss of $3,682,033, adjusted for net non-cash expenses in the aggregate
amount of $1,877,022, plus $816,334 of net cash used to fund changes in the levels of operating assets and liabilities. Our cash
use for the three months ended March 31, 2014 was primarily attributable to our net loss of $3,858,917, adjusted for net non-cash
expenses in the aggregate amount of $1,261,828, partially offset by $502,028 of net cash provided by changes in the levels of
operating assets and liabilities. During the three months ended March 31, 2015, cash used for investing was $129,573, of which
$18,608 was for the purchase of office and computer equipment and $110,965 was paid to the ECOtality Estate Creditor’s Committee.
Net cash outflows for investing activities were $359,788 for the three months ended March 31, 2014 of which $222,623 was used
for purchases of electric vehicle charging stations and $137,165 was used for the purchase of an automobile. Cash provided by
financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2015 was $1,446,727 of which $1,500,000 was due to the release of funds
from escrow in connection with a prior sale of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock, partially offset by the repayment of notes
payable of $53,273. Cash flows provided by financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2014 totaled $478,163 of
which $450,046 was from the purchase of Certificates of Deposit to serve as collateral for a letter of credit issued by the bank
to finance the purchase of inventory from a foreign vendor and the repayment of notes of $28,117.
Through March 31, 2015,
the Company has incurred an accumulated deficit since inception of $68,473,901. At March 31, 2015, the Company had a cash balance
and working capital deficit of $322,871 and $16,526,099, respectively. The Company has incurred additional losses subsequent to
March 31, 2015. The Company implemented cost reduction measures in December 2014 to reduce employee headcount and other operating
expenditures.
The
Company expects that through the next 12 months from the date of this filing, it will require external funding to sustain operations
and to follow through on the execution of its business plan. There can be no assurance that the Company’s plans will materialize
and/or that the Company will be successful in its efforts to obtain the funding to cover working capital shortfalls. Given these
conditions, there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern and its future is contingent
upon its ability to secure the levels of debt or equity capital it needs 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 twelve months. The additional capital raised would be used to fund the
Company’s operations. The current level of cash and operating margins is insufficient 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 debt or equity 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 debt or equity capital. There is no guarantee that the Company will be able to raise such additional funds on acceptable
terms, if at all.
We
have not been able to complete the audit of 350 Green LLC and Blink Network LLC for the two calendar years prior to their respective
acquisitions. Rule 505 and 506 of Regulation D requires that all non-accredited investors be provided with certain disclosure
documents, including the audited financial statements for the prior two fiscal years. In the event that we will not be able to
complete the audits for these two entities, we will not be able to raise any additional funds from non-accredited investors until
such time that the audits for the two prior fiscal years are completed.
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.
Off-Balance
Sheet Arrangements
We
do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements, financings, or other relationships with unconsolidated entities or other persons,
also known as “special purpose entities” (SPEs).
