NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Amounts in US$ thousands, except share and per share data)

 

 

1. Description of Business and Organization

 

Description of Business

 

SPI Energy Co., Ltd. (“SPI Energy” or the “Company”) and its subsidiaries (collectively the “Group”) is engaged in the provision of photovoltaic (“PV”), roofing and solar energy systems installation, and electric vehicle (“EV”) solutions for business, residential, government and utility customers and investors.

  

Organization

 

The major subsidiaries of the Group as of March 31, 2022 are summarized as below:

       
Major Subsidiaries   Abbreviation   Location
SolarJuice Co., Ltd   SJ Cayman   Cayman
Solar Juice Pty Ltd.   SJ Australia   Australia
Solarjuice American Inc.   SJ US   United States
Italsolar S.r.l.   SPI Italy   Italy
SPI Solar Japan G.K.   SPI Japan   Japan
Solar Power Inc UK Service Limited   SPI UK   United Kingdom
SPI Solar Inc.   SPI US   United States
Heliostixio S.A.   Heliostixio   Greece
Heliohrisi S.A.   Heliohrisi   Greece
Thermi Sun S.A.   Thermi Sun   Greece
Knight Holding Corporation   Knight   United States
Edisonfuture Inc.   Edisonfuture   United States
Phoenix Motor Inc.   Phoenix   United States
Phoenix Motorcars Leasing LLC   PML   United States

 

On January 1, 2017, the Group deconsolidated one of the major subsidiaries, Sinsin Renewable Investment Limited (“Sinsin”) due to loss of control and recognized the investment in Sinsin on the carrying amount of $69,606. Both the Group and the former shareholders of Sinsin, Sinsin Europe Solar Asset Limited Partnership and Sinsin Solar Capital Limited Partnership (collectively, the “Sinsin Group”), failed to fulfill the obligation under the share sale and purchase agreement of Sinsin, which led to that both parties filed petitions to each other (see Note 8(b)). The petitions directly affected the Group’s ability to effectively control Sinsin and make any direct management decisions or have any direct impact on Sinsin’s polices, operations or assets without the agreement of Sinsin Group.

 

2. Going concern

 

The Group’s condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of the business. The Group had recurring losses from operations. The Group has incurred a net loss of $6,786 during the three months ended March 31, 2022, and the cash flow used in operating activities was $8,583. As of March 31, 2022, there is net working capital deficit of $93,010 and accumulated deficit of $644,235. These factors raise substantial doubt as to the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Group intends to continue implementing various measures to boost revenue and control the cost and expenses within an acceptable level and other measures including: 1) negotiate with potential buyers on PV solar projects; 2) negotiate for postponing of convertible bond payments; 3) improve the profitability of the business in US; 4) obtain equity financing from certain subsidiaries’ initial public offerings; 5) strictly control and reduce business, marketing and advertising expenses and 6) seek for certain credit facilities. While the Group believes that it will be successful in meeting its liquidity and cash flow requirements, there is no assurance to that effect. The Group’s condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that may result from the outcome of these uncertainties.

 

 

 F-7 

 

 

3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

  (a) Basis of Presentation

 

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and, therefore, certain information and disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) have been omitted.

 

In the opinion of management, the information reflects all adjustments necessary to make the results of operations for the interim periods a fair statement of such operations. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2021 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date but does not include all information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021.

 

  (b) Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires the Group to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant accounting estimates reflected in the Group’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the allowance made for credit losses, inventory write-downs, the estimated useful lives of long-lived assets, the impairment of goodwill, long-lived assets and project assets, valuation allowance of deferred tax assets, accrued warranty expenses, the grant-date fair value of share-based compensation awards and related forfeiture rates, the lease discount rate, the purchase price allocation in acquisition, and fair value of financial instruments. Changes in facts and circumstances may result in revised estimates. The current economic environment has increased the degree of uncertainty inherent in those estimates and assumptions.

 

  (c) Revenue Recognition

 

The Group’s accounting practices under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) No. 606 are as followings:

 

The Group generates revenue from sales of PV components, roofing and solar energy systems installation, electricity revenue with Power Purchase Agreements (“PPAs”), sales and leasing of EV, and others for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021.

 

Sale of PV components

 

Revenue on sale of PV components is recognized at a point in time following the transfer of control of such products to the customer, which typically occurs upon shipment or acceptance of the customer depending on the terms of the underlying contracts.

 

Revenue from roofing and solar energy systems installation

 

Revenue from roofing and solar energy system installation is recognized over time.

 

For revenue from solar energy system installation, the Company’s principal performance obligation is to design and install a customize solar energy system, sometimes, reinstall the customer’s existing solar energy system that is interconnected to the local power grid and for which permission to operate has been granted by a utility company to the customer. For roofing the Company’s principal performance obligation is to design and build roof system per customer selection.

 

 

 F-8 

 

 

All costs to obtain and fulfill contracts associated with system sales and other product sales are expensed to cost of revenue when the corresponding revenue is recognized.

 

The Company recognizes revenue using a cost-based input method that recognizes revenue and gross profit as work is performed based on the relationship between actual costs incurred compared to the total estimated cost of the contract. In applying cost-based input method, the Company uses the actual costs incurred to the total estimated cost, to determine the Company’s progress towards contract completion and to calculate the corresponding amount of revenue and gross profit to recognize.

 

Electricity revenue with PPAs

 

The Group sells energy generated by PV solar power systems under PPAs. For energy sold under PPAs, the Group recognizes revenue each period based on the volume of energy delivered to the customer (i.e., the PPAs off-taker) and the price stated in the PPAs. The Group has determined that none of the PPAs contains a lease since (i) the purchaser does not have the rights to operate the PV solar power systems, (ii) the purchaser does not have the rights to control physical access to the PV solar power systems, and (iii) the price that the purchaser pays is at a fixed price per unit of output.

 

Revenue from sales and leasing of EV

 

The Group recognizes revenue from sales of EV at a point in time following the transfer of control of such products to the customer, which typically occurs upon the delivery to the customer for EV sales. The Group determined that the government grants related to sales of EV should be considered as part of the transaction price because it is granted to the EV buyer and the buyer remains liable for such amount in the event the grants were not received by the Group or returned due to the buyer violates the government grant terms and conditions.

 

EV leasing revenue includes revenue recognized under lease accounting guidance for direct leasing programs. The Group accounts for these leasing transactions as operating leases under ASC 840 Leases, and revenues are recognized on a straight-line basis over the contractual term.

 

Other revenue

 

Other revenue mainly consisted of revenue generated from sales of component and charging stations, engineering and maintenance service, shipping and delivery service and other.

 

Disaggregation of revenues

 

The following table illustrates the disaggregation of revenue by revenue stream and by geographical location for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021:

                              
By revenue stream  For the three months ended March 31, 2022 (Unaudited) 
   Sales of PV components   Revenue from roofing and solar systems installation   Electricity revenue with PPAs   Automotive sales & leasing   Others   Total 
Australia  $28,024   $–   $–   $–   $142   $28,166 
Italy   –    –    256    –    –    256 
United States   –    8,789    –    525    141    9,455

United Kingdom   –    –    165    –    –    165 
Greece   –    –    514    –    –    514 
Total  $28,909   $3,030   $840   $384   $459   $33,622 

 

Contract balance

 

The following table provides information about contract assets and contract liabilities from contracts with customers:

          
  

March 31,

2022

(Unaudited)

  

December 31,

2021

 
Accounts receivable, net  $24,543   $22,599 
Contract assets  $1,279   $1,621 
Advance from customers  $5,209   $4,924 

 

The contract assets primarily relate to the Group’s rights to consideration for work completed but not billed at the reporting date, primarily for the revenue from roofing and solar energy systems installation in the United States. The contract assets are transferred to receivables when the rights become unconditional after billing is issued.

 

Advance from customers, which representing a contract liability, represents mostly unrecognized revenue amount received from customers. Advance from customers is recognized as (or when) the Group performs under the contract. During the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, the Group recognized $4,924 and $1,377 as revenue that was included in the balance of advance from customers at January 1, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

 

  (d) Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-06, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40), Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity. This guidance eliminates the beneficial conversion feature and cash conversion models in Accounting Standards Codification (ASC or Codification) 470-20 that require separate accounting for embedded conversion features in convertible instruments. This guidance also eliminates some of the conditions that must be met for equity classification under ASC 815-40-25. The new guidance also requires entities to use the if-converted method to calculate earnings per share (EPS) for all convertible instruments in the diluted EPS calculation and include the effect of potential share settlement (if the effect is more dilutive) for instruments that may be settled in cash or shares, except for liability-classified share-based payment awards. ASU No. 2020-06 is effective for annual periods beginning after 15 December 2021 and interim periods therein. The Group adopted ASU No. 2020-06 on January 1, 2022. The adoption did not have a material impact on the Group’s consolidated financial statements.

 

Other significant accounting policies are detailed in “Note 3 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” of the Company 2021 Form 10-K.

As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Group had capital commitments of approximately $9,805 and $1,992, respectively. These capital commitments were solely related to contracts signed with vendors for procurement of services, automation production line, equipment or PV related products used for the construction of solar PV systems being developed by the Group.

 

The capital commitments as at balance sheet dates disclosed above do not include those incomplete acquisitions for investment and business as at balance sheet dates as the agreements could either be terminated unconditionally without any penalty or cancelable when the closing conditions as specified in the agreements could not be met.

 

  (b) Contingencies

 

On January 26, 2018, Sinsin Group filed a complaint against the Group requesting the payment of outstanding purchase price and related interest of $43,595 (EUR 38,054). On June 25, 2018, an interim measures judgment was made which appointed an interim management of Sinsin, consisting of two members elected by Sinsin Group and one member elected by the Group. The interim management would manage the bank accounts of Sinsin and collect the proceeds of electric energy revenue. On October 29, 2020, an arbitration decision was made that the Group will need to pay the outstanding purchase price of $43,595 (EUR 38,054), together with interest at 6% accruing from November 20, 2015 on half of the outstanding purchase and from June 30, 2016 on the remaining half of the outstanding purchase price to the date of eventual payment. The Group filed an application for appeals in the court of Malta but was turned down by the court in November 2021. The Group furtherly filed an application of retrial and suspension of the enforcement of the awards. The application of retrial was rejected by the court on March 30, 2022. No further appeal or right of retrial exists in Malta, and the management is preparing for any other available options to suspend the enforcement of the arbitration decision.

 

From time to time, the Group is involved in various other legal and regulatory proceedings arising in the normal course of business. While the Group cannot predict the occurrence or outcome of these proceedings with certainty, it does not believe that an adverse result in any pending legal or regulatory proceeding, individually or in the aggregate, would be material to the Group’s consolidated financial condition or cash flows; however, an unfavorable outcome could have a material adverse effect on the Group’s results of operations.

9. Concentration Risk

 

A substantial percentage of the Group’s net revenue comes from sales made to a small number of customers to whom sales are typically made on an open account basis.

 

There was no customer of which the revenue accounted for 10% or more of total net revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021.

 

As of March 31, 2022, there was one customer of which the accounts receivable accounted for 16% of total accounts receivable. As of December, 2021, there was one customer of which the accounts receivable accounted for 21% of total accounts receivable.

 

10. Related Party Transactions

 

The amount due from related parties were $264 and $230 as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, represented the advance payment to management for business operation.

  

The amount due to related parties were $405 and nil as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, represented the short term loan from a shareholder with no interest.

12. Subsequent Events 

 

Entry into a Material Convertible Promissory Note Agreement

 

On April 8, 2022, SPI Energy Co., Ltd. (the “Company”) entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) pursuant to which the Company issued an unsecured convertible promissory note with a one-year maturity (“Note”) to an institutional accredited investor Streeterville Capital, LLC (“Investor”). The Note has the original principal amount of $2,110 and Investor gave consideration of $2,000, reflecting original issue discount of $100 and Investor’s legal fee of $10.

 

Interest accrues on the outstanding balance of the Note at 10% per annum. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (as defined in the Note), interest accrues at the lesser of 15% per annum or the maximum rate permitted by applicable law. Certain Major Defaults (as defined in the Note) will result in an additional 15% of the aggregate principal amount of the Note outstanding at such time being added to the total outstanding amount of such note.

 

Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement and the Note, the Company must obtain Investor’s consent for certain fundamental transactions such as consolidation, merger, disposition of substantial assets, change of control, reorganization or recapitalization. Any occurrence of a fundamental transaction without Investor’s prior written consent will be deemed an Event of Default.

 

Investor may redeem all or any part of the outstanding balance of the Note, subject to maximum monthly redemption amount of $350, at any time after six months from the Note issue date, in cash or converting into the Company’s ordinary shares at a conversion price of $20.00 per share, subject to certain adjustments and ownership limitations specified in the Note. The number of ordinary shares that may be issued upon conversion of the Note shall not exceed the requirement of Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(d). The Note provides for liquidated damages upon failure to comply with any of the terms or provisions of the Note. The Company may prepay the outstanding balance of the Note in cash equal to 115% multiplied by the portion of the outstanding balance the Company elects to prepay.

 

The Group has evaluated subsequent events through the date of issuance of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, there were no other subsequent events occurred that would require recognition or disclosure in the consolidated financial statements.

Overview

 

We are a global provider of photovoltaic (PV) and electric vehicle (EV) solutions for business, residential, government and utility customers and investors. We develop solar PV projects which are either sold to third party operators or owned and operated by us for selling of electricity to the grid in multiple countries in Asia, North America and Europe. In Australia, we primarily sell solar PV components to retail customers and solar project developers. We started to engage in sales and leasing of new zero-emission EVs in U.S. from 2020 and engage in roofing and solar energy systems installation in U.S. from 2021.

 

Our liquidity position has deteriorated since 2015. We suffered a net loss of $6.8 million during the three months ended March 31, 2022, and the cash flow used in operating activities was $8.6 million. For a detailed discussion, please see “Item 2 - Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Liquidity and Capital Resources”.

 

Basis of presentation, management estimates and critical accounting policies

 

Our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and include the accounts of our company, and all of our subsidiaries. We prepare financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP, which requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities on the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the financial reporting period. We continually evaluate these estimates and assumptions based on the most recently available information, our own historical experience and various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Since the use of estimates is an integral component of the financial reporting process, actual results could differ from those estimates. Some of our accounting policies require higher degrees of judgment than others in their application. In order to understand the significant accounting policies that we adopted for the preparation of our condensed consolidated interim financial statements, readers should refer to the information set forth in Note 3 “Summary of significant accounting policies” to our audited financial statements in our 2021 Form 10-K.

 

Principal Factors Affecting Our Results of Operations

 

We believe that the following factors have had, and we expect that they will continue to have, a significant effect on the development of our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

 

 

 3 

 

 

COVID-19

 

The pandemic of a novel coronavirus (COVID-19) has resulted in a widespread health crisis that has adversely affected the economies and financial markets worldwide. Governmental authorities have recommended or ordered the limitation or cessation of certain business or commercial activities in jurisdictions in which we do business or have operations. While some of these orders permit the continuation of essential business operations, or permit the performance of minimum business activities, these orders are subject to continuous revision or may be revoked or superseded, or our understanding of the applicability of these orders and exemptions may change at any time. In response to these orders, we have reduced the risk of exposure to infection, including reduced travel, cancellation of meetings and events, and implementation of work-at- home policies.

 

Our operating results substantially depend on revenues derived from sales of PV project assets, provision of electricity, our Australian subsidiary’s trading of PV components, and our U.S. subsidiary’s business on roofing and solar energy systems installation and sales and leasing of EVs, respectively. As the COVID-19 spread continues, the measures implemented to curb the spread of the virus have resulted in supply chain disruptions, insufficient work force and suspended manufacturing and construction works for solar industry. One or more of our customers, partners, service providers or suppliers may experience financial distress, delayed or defaults on payment, file for bankruptcy protection, sharp diminishing of business, or suffer disruptions in their business due to the outbreak. These preventative measures have also impacted our daily operations. The efforts enacted to control COVID-19 have placed heavy pressure on our marketing and sales activities. We continue to assess the related risks and impacts COVID-19 pandemic may have on our business and our financial performance. In light of the rapidly changing situation across different countries and regions, it remains difficult to estimate the duration and magnitude of COVID-19 impact. Until such time as the COVID-19 pandemic is contained or eradicated and global business return to more customary levels, our business and financial results may be materially adversely affected.

 

Market Demand

 

Our revenue and profitability depend substantially on the demand for our PV solutions, which is driven by the economics of PV systems, including the availability and size of government subsidies and other incentives, government support, cost improvements in solar power, as well as environmental concerns and energy demand. The world PV market in terms of new annual installations is expected to grow significantly in the next five years, providing engineering procurement construction (“EPC”) service providers and solar project developers like us with significant opportunities to grow our business.

  

In the long term, as PV technology advances and the average system costs of solar projects decrease, we expect the market for electricity in a growing number of countries to achieve grid parity. As the PV industry becomes more competitive against other energy industries and widespread grid parity strengthens demand for solar projects, we expect our costs of sales to decrease and our revenue and profitability to increase.

 

In addition, the medium-duty EV market is expected to grow significantly over the next decade. While the market has been too slow to expand over the last many years, many key factors are shaping the industry for accelerated growth over the next few years. Key factors driving this growth include government regulations requiring fleets to go electric, incentives and grant funding supporting commercial zero emission vehicle deployments, infrastructure deployments and corporate electrification mandates. Many large fleets who operate large truck and bus fleets have committed to go 100% electric over the next few years. This includes large delivery truck fleets like Amazon, FedEx, UPS, DHL, IKEA; also shuttle bus operators like transit agencies in Los Angeles, Orange County, and New York; and large corporate fleet owners like Genentech, Microsoft and Salesforce. All of the above factors, together with key technology catalysts, are expected to spur demand for medium-duty electric vehicles significantly over the next few years. Key technology drivers include reduction in battery costs and costs of other key components, making electric vehicles cheaper, and advances in EV drivetrain technology, including motor improvements that enable better performance and higher efficiencies; and refinements in high-voltage battery technology. The anticipated sales growth in this segment of the EV market is attributed both to new companies that started as electric vehicle manufacturers, as well as and conventional OEMs who are expected to start offering complete EV over the next few years.

 

As PV and energy storage technology advances and the average system costs decrease, in many cases the residential or small business owners of solar systems have effectively achieved grid parity for their systems. Aided by smart meter and virtual power plant technologies such systems can be an attractive alternative to electricity grid in many localities. We expect traditionally strong residential solar markets such as California and Australia to continue to grow, while we expect new growth from markets to emerge such as Florida, Texas and US Northeast. As the overall market grows we expect our costs of sales to decrease and our revenue and profitability to increase.

Government Subsidies and Incentive Policies

 

We believe that the growth of the solar power industry in the short term will continue to depend largely on the availability and effectiveness of government incentives for solar power products and the competitiveness of solar power in relation to conventional and other renewable energy resources in terms of cost. Countries in Europe, notably Italy, Germany, France, Belgium and Spain, certain countries in Asia, including Japan, India and South Korea, as well as Australia and the United States have adopted favorable renewable energy policies. Examples of government sponsored financial incentives to promote solar power include capital cost rebates, tax credits, net metering and other incentives to end users, distributors, project developers, system integrators and manufacturers of solar power products.

  

Governments may reduce or eliminate existing incentive programs for political, financial or other reasons, which will be difficult for us to predict. Electric utility companies or generators of electricity from fossil fuels or other renewable energy sources could also lobby for a change in the relevant legislation in their markets to protect their revenue streams. Government economic incentives could be reduced or eliminated altogether.

 

With growing emphasis on improving air quality around our communities, large states like California are mandating key end user segments to switch to zero emission transportation options. Some of the key regulations driving growth in our addressable market include, in California, requiring all transit buses to be zero emissions by 2040, requiring all airport shuttles to be electric by 2035, requiring at least 50% of all medium-duty trucks sold in the state to be electric by 2030, and requiring specific end-user segments like drayage and yard trucks to go electric.

  

Other states like New York, New Jersey and Massachusetts are also expected to bring in regulatory requirements for key end user segments like transit agencies and school buses to switch to all electric vehicles. Fifteen other states, including Connecticut, Colorado, Hawaii, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, and Washington have committed to follow California’s Clean Truck Regulation.

 

Various state and federal agencies are also supporting the switch to zero emission transportation by providing a host of funding and incentive support to develop, demonstrate and deploy zero emission transportation solutions. This is primarily driven by the urgent need to meet carbon and greenhouse gas emission reduction targets. Some of the key funding / incentives driving adoption of electric medium duty vehicles include: the California HVIP program offering a minimum of $60,000 per vehicle as incentive for Class 4 electric vehicles registered and operating in the state, the New York Truck Voucher Incentive Program offering up to $66,000 per Class 4 electric vehicle, funding from federal agencies like the FTA, covering up to 80% of the cost of procuring electric transit buses and various funding options covering up to 100% of the cost of procuring all electric school buses across key states.

 

Federal and various state agencies have established incentives for setting up both public and private charging infrastructure. Notably, the California Energy Commission and the California Public Utilities Commission have approved funding up to 100% of the cost of setting up chargers and related infrastructure. Large utilities like Southern California Edison, Pacific Gas & Electric and San Diego Gas & Electric have ‘Charge Ready’ programs that cover the entire cost of setting up charging infrastructure. Other states like New York, Chicago, North Carolina, Tennessee, Texas and Ohio have also introduced programs to support fleets with their charging infrastructure requirements.

 

Our Solar Power Generation and Operations Capabilities

 

Our financial condition and results of operations depend on our ability to successfully continue to develop new solar projects and operate our existing solar projects. We expect to build and manage a greater number of solar projects, which we expect to present additional challenges to our internal processes, external construction management, working capital management and financing capabilities. Our financial condition, results of operations and future success depend, to a significant extent, on our ability to continue to identify suitable sites, expand our pipeline of projects with attractive returns, obtain required regulatory approvals, arrange necessary financing, manage the construction of our solar projects on time and within budget, and successfully operate solar projects.

Net loss  $(6,786)   -17.6%   $(8,100)   -24.1% 

  

Net sales — Net sales were $38.5 million and $33.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, representing an increase of $4.9 million or 14.6%. The increase in net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2022 over the comparative period was primarily due to the increase of revenue from roofing and solar installation of $5.8 million.

 

Cost of revenues — Cost of revenues was $35.8 million (93.0% of net sales) and $31.5 million (93.6% of net sales) for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, representing an increase of $4.3 million or 13.8%. The increase in cost of goods sold was consistent with the increase of net sales.

 

Gross profit — Our gross profit increased from $2.1 million in the three months ended March 31, 2021 to $2.7 million in the three months ended March 31, 2022. Gross margins were 7.0% and 6.4% for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The increase in gross margin was primarily due to the increase in GP% of roofing and solar energy system installation. The Company started such business in late February 2021 and incurred significant inefficient indirect cost during the three months ended March 31, 2021. After ten months experience, such inefficient indirect costs decreased significantly and the GP% accordingly in the three months ended March 31, 2022.

General and administrative expenses — General and administrative expenses were $9.1 million (23.7% of net sale) and $9.6 million (28.5% of net sale) for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, representing a decrease of $0.5 million, or 4.9%. The decrease was mainly due to the decrease in stock-based compensation expense and was partially net off by the increase of the expense from U.S. subsidiary’s business on roofing and solar energy systems installation, which started to operate since February 2021 as well as the increase in salaries and wages.

  

Sales, marketing and customer service expenses — Sales, marketing and customer service expenses were $1.2 million (3.2% of net sales) and $1.0 million (3.1% of net sales) for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, representing an increase of $0.2 million, or 19.9%. The increase in our sales, marketing and customer service expenses was mainly due to the increase of employees’ salaries.

 

Reversal for credit loss — In the three months ended March 31, 2022, we reversed credit loss provision of $0.7 million, primarily due to the strengthening monitoring on accounts receivable collection. There was no reversal or provision for credit loss in the three months ended March 31, 2021.

 

Interest expense, net — Interest expense net was $1.4 million (3.6% of net sales) and $1.4 million (4.3% of net sales) for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The interest expense net kept stable as there was no significant change in convertible bonds and borrowings.

  

Net foreign exchange gain — We had a net foreign exchange gain of $1.1 million (2.8% of net sales) and $1.5 million (4.5% of net sales) for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

 

Others — We generated other income of $0.8 million (2.0% of net sales) and $0.6 million (1.9% of net sales) in the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021. The other income in the three months ended March 31, 2022 mainly represents the gain on disposal for bitcoin equipment of $0.5 million. The other income in the three months ended March 31, 2021 mainly represents the gain on forward contracts of $0.6 million.

 

Income tax expense — We had a provision for income taxes of $0.3 million (0.7% of net sales) and $0.3 million (0.9% of net sales) for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The income tax expense kept stable as there was no significant change in profit before tax of our subsidiary in Australia.

 

Net loss — For the foregoing reasons, we incurred a net loss of $6.8 million (17.6% of net sales) for the three months ended March 31, 2022, representing an decrease of net loss of $1.3 million compared to a net loss of $8.1 million (24.1% of net sales) for the three months ended March 31, 2021.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Historically, we have financed our operations primarily through cash flows from bank borrowings, financing from issuance of convertible bonds, operating activities, and the proceeds from private placements and registered offerings.

 

As of December 31, 2021, we had $17.8 million in cash and cash equivalents, and restricted cash. As of March 31, 2022, we had $12.9 million in cash and cash equivalents, and restricted cash.

 

We suffered a net loss of $6.8 million during the three months ended March 31, 2022, and the cash flow used in operating activities was $8.6 million. As of March 31, 2022, there is net working capital deficit of $93.0 million and accumulated deficit of $644.2 million. These factors raise substantial doubt as to the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. We intend to continue implementing various measures to boost revenue and control the cost and expenses within an acceptable level and other measures including: 1) negotiate with potential buyers on PV solar projects; 2) negotiate for postponing of convertible bond payments; 3) improve the profitability of the business in US; 4) obtain equity financing from certain subsidiaries’ initial public offerings; 5) strictly control and reduce business, marketing and advertising expenses and 6) seek for certain credit facilities. While we believe that it will be successful in meeting its liquidity and cash flow requirements, there is no assurance to that effect. Our condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that may result from the outcome of these uncertainties.

Capital Expenditures

 

We incurred capital expenditures of $0.2 million and $8.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Capital commitments amounted to approximately $9.8 million as of March 31, 2022. These capital commitments were solely related to contracts signed with vendors for procurement of services, automation production line, equipment or PV related products used for the construction of solar PV systems being developed by us. We expect to finance construction of these projects using cash from our operations and private placements, registered offerings, bank borrowings as well as other third-party financing options.

 

Trend information

 

Our operating results substantially depend on revenues derived from sales of PV project assets, provision of electricity, our Australian subsidiary’s trading of PV components, and our U.S. subsidiary’s business on roofing and solar energy systems installation and sales and leasing of EVs, respectively. As the COVID-19 spread continues, the measures implemented to curb the spread of the virus have resulted in supply chain disruptions, insufficient work force and suspended manufacturing and construction works for solar industry. In light of the rapidly changing situation across different countries and regions, it remains difficult to estimate the duration and magnitude of COVID-19 impact.

  

Other than as disclosed elsewhere in this quarterly report, we are not aware of any trends, uncertainties, demands, commitments or events for the three months ended March 31, 2022 that are reasonably likely to have a material effect on our net revenues, income, profitability, liquidity or capital resources, or that would cause reported consolidated financial information not necessarily to be indicative of future operating results or financial conditions.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

As of March 31, 2022, we had no off-balance sheet arrangements that are or have been reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures, or capital resources that are material to investors. We have not entered into any derivative contracts that are indexed to our own shares and classified as shareholder’s equity, or that are not reflected in our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. We do not have any retained or contingent interest in assets transferred to an unconsolidated entity that serves as credit, liquidity or market risk support to such entity. We do not have any variable interest in any unconsolidated entity that provides financing, liquidity, market risk or credit support to us or engages in leasing, hedging or research and development services with us.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial and accounting officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2022, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial and accounting officer have concluded that during the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of such date to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial and accounting officer or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

  

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal quarter of 2022 covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
