Our principal productscustomers include, but are not limited to, electric, gas and services include switchgearwater utilities, data center developers and engine-generator controls, complemented by a national field-service network to maintainowners, EV charging infrastructure developers and repair power generation assets.owners, and distributed energy developers. The Company is headquartered in Fort Lee, New Jersey and operates from three (3 (3)) additional locations in the U.S. for manufacturing, service and maintenance, engineering, sales and administration.

We have 2two reportable segments as defined in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020,2021, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 30, 2021:31, 2022: Transmission and Distribution Solutions (“T&D Solutions”) and Critical Power Solutions (“Critical Power”).

Presentation

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared pursuant to the rules of the SEC and reflect the accounts of the Company as of June 30, 2021.2022. Certain information and footnote disclosures, normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”), have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations. We believe that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information presented not misleading to the reader. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to fairly state the financial position, results of operations and cash flows with respect to the interim consolidated financial statements have been included. The results of operations for the interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results for the entire fiscal year. The year-end balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP for a year-end balance sheet.

All dollar amounts (except share and per share data) presented in the notes to our unaudited interim consolidated financial statements are stated in thousands of dollars, unless otherwise noted. Amounts may not foot due to rounding. ASC 740-270 requires the use of an estimated annual effective tax rate to compute the tax provision during an interim period unless certain exceptions are met. We have used a discrete-period computation method to calculate taxes for the fiscal three and six monthsix-month periods ended June 30, 2021.2022. Due to projected operating losses for the year, the Company has determinedanticipates that it is unable to reliably estimate its annual effective tax rate.rate will be 0%. As of June 30, 2022, the Company continues to provide a 100% valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets since the Company believes it is more likely than not that its deferred tax assets will not be realized.

These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Pioneer and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the risk factors under the heading “Part II - Item 1A. Risk Factors” and the risk factors and the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto of the Company and its subsidiaries included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.2021.

Liquidity

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. As shown in the accompanying financial statements as of the six months ended June 30, 2021,2022, the Company had $5.19.8 million of cash on hand and working capital of $6.515.4 million. The cash on hand was generated primarily from the completion of the sale of common stock under the transformer business unitsAt The Market Sale Agreement during the year ended December 31, 2019, proceeds from the sale of the CleanSpark Common Stock (as defined herein) and warrants to purchase CleanSpark Common Stock, proceeds from insurance and the funding from the Paycheck Protection Program recognized during the year ended December 31, 2020. 2021.

We have historically met our cash needs through a combination of cash flows from operating activities and bank borrowings.borrowings, the completion of the Equity Transaction (as defined herein), proceeds from the sale of the CleanSpark Common Stock and warrants to purchase CleanSpark Common Stock, proceeds from insurance and the sale of common stock under the At The Market Sale Agreement and funding from the Payroll Protection Program. Our cash requirements historically were generally for operating activities, debt repayment, capital improvements and capital improvements. As all outstanding amounts under our credit facilities were paid in full during the year ended December 31, 2019, and the credit facilities terminated, weacquisitions.

On June 1, 2021, the board of directors of the Company declared a special cash dividend of $0.12 per common share, payable to shareholders of record as of June 22, 2021, to be paid on July 7, 2021. The Cashcash dividends were paid in July of 2021 equaland equaled $0.12 per share on the $0.001 par value common stock resulting in an aggregate distribution of approximately $1.0$1.0 million representing a capital repayment paid from additional paid-in capital (“APIC”).


During the first quarter ofyear ended December 31, 2021, the Company executed a cash collateral security agreement with a commercial bank, which agreement required us to pledge cash collateral as security for all unpaid reimbursement obligations owing to the commercial bank for an irrevocable standby letter of credit in the amount of $1.8 million million. As a result. During the first quarter of executing2022, the Company amended its agreement with the commercial bank to decrease the required amount of cash collateral by $1.3 million. On May 6, 2022, the Company received notice that the cash collateral security agreement it had executed with the commercial bank was cancelled. Upon cancellation of the cash collateral security agreement, any unpaid reimbursement obligations owing to the commercial bank were also cancelled. On May 11, 2022, the commercial bank released and transferred the remaining cash collateral of $505 to the Company. The Company recognized approximately $1.8 million ofhad no restricted cash withinon the consolidated balance sheetsheets at June 30, 2021.2022.

In November 2016,The Company accounts for restricted cash under the FASB issued amended guidance toof ASU No. 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows - Restricted Cash (Topic 230), which requires the statement of cash flows to explain the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash and that restricted cash be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows.

COVID-19

On January 30, 2020, the World Health Organization (“WHO”) announced a global health emergency because of a new strain of coronavirus originating in Wuhan, China and the risks to the international community as the virus spreads globally beyond its point of origin. In March 2020, the WHO classified the COVID-19 outbreak as a pandemic (the “COVID-19 pandemic”), based on the rapid increase in exposure globally.

The full impact of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic continues to evolve as the date of this report. As such, it iscontinues to be uncertain as to the full magnitude that the pandemic will have on the Company’s financial condition, liquidity, and future results of operations. During the three months ended June 30, 2021, the Company experienced an impact to productivity as a result of following social distancing guidelines and practicing personal protective measures. Notwithstanding, theThe Company has been able to operate substantially at capacity during the COVID-19 pandemic. Management is actively monitoring the global situation on its financial condition, liquidity, operations, suppliers, industry, and workforce. Given the daily evolution of the COVID-19 pandemic and the global responses to contain its spread,the continuing crisis, the Company is not able to estimate the full effects of the COVID-19 pandemic at this time, however, if the pandemic continues, it may continue to have an adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition, or liquidity.

On March 27, 2020, then President Trump signed into law the “Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act” (the “CARES Act”). The CARES Act, among other things, appropriates funds for the SBA Paycheck Protection Program loans that are forgivable in certain situations to promote continued employment. On April 13, 2020, after having determined that it met the qualifications for this loan program due to the impact that COVID-19 would have on our financial condition, results of operations, and/or liquidity and applying for relief, the Company received a loan under the SBA Paycheck Protection Program (the “PPP Loan”) in the amount of $1.4 million. The Company accounted for the PPP Loan as a debt instrument in accordance with FASB ASC 470, Debt.

Under the terms of the PPP Loan, the Company was eligible for full or partial loan forgiveness. During the first quarter of 2021, the Company received full forgiveness of the PPP Loan and recognized a $1.4 million gain on extinguishment and forgiveness of debt as other income in the unaudited interim consolidated statements of operations.

Reclassification

The following items have been reclassified in the 2021 financial statements:

The unaudited consolidated statements of cash flows contain a reclassification of the gain on the extinguishment and forgiveness of the PPP Loan from financing activities to operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2021. Additionally, principal repayments of financing leases and the reduction in operating leases have been reclassified and presented in the applicable cash flow activity for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The inventories footnote contains a reclassification of the provision for excess and obsolete inventory and reductions to net realizable value to the applicable inventory classification at December 31, 2021.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The Company’s significant accounting policies are described in Note 2 to the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.2021. There have been no significant changes in the Company’s accounting policies during the second quarter of 2021.2022.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

There have been no recent accounting pronouncements not yet adopted by the Company which would have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

Income Taxes. In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740), which simplifies the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and also clarifies and amends existing guidance to improve consistent application. The ASU is effective for all annual and interim periods beginning December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted this guidance on January 1, 2021. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

Fair Value Measurement. In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement that eliminates, amends, and adds certain disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. The Company adopted this guidance on January 1, 2020. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instrument. In June 2016, the FASB issued amended guidance to ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments that changes the impairment model for most financial assets and certain other instruments. For trade and other receivables, held-to-maturity debt securities, loans and other instruments, entities will be required to use a new forward-looking “expected loss” model that will replace today’s “incurred loss” model and generally will result in the earlier recognition of allowances for losses. For available-for-sale debt securities with unrealized losses, entities will measure credit losses in a manner similar to current practice, except that the losses will be recognized as an allowance. This amended guidance for small reporting companies is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Entities will apply the standard’s provisions as a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the first effective reporting period. The Company does not expect that the amended guidance will have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

 

3. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTSREVENUES

ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820”), defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset, or paid to transfer a liability, in the principal or most advantageous market in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The fair value standard also establishes a three level hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The valuation hierarchy is based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability on the measurement date. The three levels are defined as follows:

Level 1 - inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for an identical asset or liability in an active market.

Level 2 - inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for a similar asset or liability in an active market or model derived valuations in which all significant inputs are observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.

Level 3 - inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement of the asset or liability.

On January 22, 2019, Pioneer Critical Power, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company within the T&D Solutions segment, entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger with CleanSpark and CleanSpark Acquisition, Inc., a Delaware corporation, which resulted in the Company receiving financial instruments that included the right to receive (i) 175,000 shares of CleanSpark Common Stock (“CleanSpark Common Stock”), (ii) a five-year warrant to purchase 50,000 shares of CleanSpark Common Stock at an exercise price of $16.00 per share, and (iii) a five-year warrant to purchase 50,000 shares of CleanSpark Common Stock at an exercise price of $20.00 per share. The share quantities and exercise prices of warrants reflect the 10:1 reverse stock split which was completed by CleanSpark in December 2019.

At June 30, 2020, the estimated fair value of the CleanSpark Common Stock and warrants to purchase CleanSpark Common Stock was $708, and an unrealized mark to market gain of $384 and an unrealized mark to market loss of $759 was recognized within other expense (income) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively.


The Company sold all of the CleanSpark Common Stock and warrants to purchase CleanSpark Common Stock it received in connection with the Merger Agreement during the third quarter of 2020.

No changes in valuation techniques or inputs occurred during the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020. No transfers of assets between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value measurement hierarchy occurred during the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020.

Our principal source of revenue is derived from sales of products and fees for services. We measure revenue based upon the consideration specified in the customer arrangement, and revenue is recognized when the performance obligations in the customer arrangement are satisfied. A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct product or service to the customer. The transaction price of a contract is allocated to each distinct performance obligation and recognized as revenue when or as, the customer receives the benefit of the performance obligation. Customers typically receive the benefit of our products when the risk of loss or control for the product transfers to the customer and for services as they are performed. Under ASC 606, revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of promised products or services in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to receive in exchange for those products or services. To achieve this core principal, the Company applies the following five steps:

1)       Identify the contract with a customer

A contract with a customer exists when (i) the Company enters into an enforceable contract with a customer that defines each party’s rights regarding the products or services to be transferred and identifies the payment terms related to these products or services, (ii) the contract has commercial substance and, (iii) the Company determines that collection of substantially all consideration for products or services that are transferred is probable based on the customer’s intent and ability to pay the promised consideration. The Company applies judgment in determining the customer’s ability and intention to pay, which is based on a variety of factors including the customer’s historical payment experience or, in the case of a new customer, published credit and financial information pertaining to the customer.

2)       Identify the performance obligations in the contract

Performance obligations promised in a contract are identified based on the products or services that will be transferred to the customer that are both capable of being distinct, whereby the customer can benefit from the product or service either on its own or together with other resources that are readily available from third parties or from the Company, and are distinct in the context of the contract, whereby the transfer of the products or services is separately identifiable from other promises in the contract. To the extent a contract includes multiple promised products or services, the Company must apply judgment to determine whether promised products or services are capable of being distinct and distinct in the context of the contract. If these criteria are not met the promised products or services are accounted for as a combined performance obligation.

3)       Determine the transaction price

The transaction price is determined based on the consideration to which the Company will be entitled in exchange for transferring products or services to the customer. The customer payments are generally due in 30 days.


4)       Allocate the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract

If the contract contains a single performance obligation, the entire transaction price is allocated to the single performance obligation. Contracts that contain multiple performance obligations require an allocation of the transaction price to each performance obligation based on a relative standalone selling price basis or cost of the product or service. The Company determines standalone selling price based on the price at which the performance obligation is sold separately. If the standalone selling price is not observable through past transactions, the Company estimates the standalone selling price taking into account available information such as market conditions and internally approved pricing guidelines related to the performance obligations.

5)       Recognize revenue when or as the Company satisfies a performance obligation

The Company satisfies performance obligations either over time or at a point in time. Revenue is recognized at the time the related performance obligation is satisfied by transferring a promised product or service to a customer.

Revenue from the sale of our switchgear equipmentproducts is predominantly recognized at a point in time and substantially all of our revenue from the sale of power generation equipment is recognized at a point in time. Revenues are recognized at the point in time that the customer obtains control of the good, which is when it has taken title to the products and has assumed the risks and rewards of ownership specified in the purchase order or sales agreement. Certain sales of highly customized large switchgear equipment are recognized over time when such equipment has no alternative use and the Company has an enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date. Revenue for such agreements is recognized under the input method based on cost incurred relative to the estimated cost expected to be consumed to complete the project.

During the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company recognized $2.4 million and $3.8 of revenue at a point in time from the sale of our products, respectively. Service revenues include maintenance contracts that are recognized over time based on the contract term and repair services, which are recognized as services are delivered. The Company recognized $1.9 million of service revenue during the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021.

During the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company recognized $6.9 million and $5.7 million of revenue at a point in time from the sale of our products, respectively. The Company recognized $3.4 million and $3.5 million of service revenue during the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

During the three months ended June 30, 2021, the Company recognized $22.0.0 million of revenue over time and incurred costs of $1.8 million related to a single contract. During the six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company recognized $3.1 million of revenue over time and incurred costs of $2.9 million related to a single contract. Additionally, theThe Company recognized $1.8 million and $2.6 million ofdid not recognize revenue at a point inover time from the sale of our switchgear and power generation equipmentor incur costs related to any single contract during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022.

During the three months ended June 30, 2022, the Company recognized approximately $214 of revenue that was recognized as deferred revenue at December 31, 2021, respectively. Service revenues include maintenance contractsas compared to $2 of revenue during the three months ended June 30, 2021 that arewas recognized over time basedas deferred revenue at December 31, 2020.

During the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company recognized approximately $2.1 million of revenue that was recognized as deferred revenue at December 31, 2021, as compared to $58 of revenue during the six months ended June 30, 2021 that was recognized as deferred revenue at December 31, 2020.

The Company manages its accounts receivable credit risk by performing credit evaluations and monitoring amounts due from the Company’s customers. The Company had certain customers whose revenue individually represented 10% or more of the Company’s total revenue, or whose accounts receivable balances individually represented 10% or more of the Company’s total accounts receivable.

At June 30, 2022, three customers represented approximately 34%, 26% and 15% of the Company’s accounts receivable. At December 31, 2021, two customers represented approximately 32% and 11% of the Company’s accounts receivable.

For the six months ended June 30, 2022, three customers represented approximately 17%, 14% and 11% of the Company’s revenue. For the six months ended June 30, 2021, two customers represented approximately 34% and 14% of the Company’s revenue.

Return of a product requires that the buyer obtain permission in writing from the Company. When the buyer requests authorization to return material for reasons of their own, the buyer will be charged for placing the returned goods in saleable condition, restocking charges and for any outgoing and incoming transportation paid by the Company. The Company warrants title to the products, and also warrants the products on date of shipment to the buyer, to be of the kind and quality described in the contract, termmerchantable, and repair services which are recognized as services are delivered.free of defects in workmanship and material. Returns and warranties during three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 were insignificant.

9. DEBT

On March 27, 2020, then President Trump signed into law the “Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act.” The CARES Act, among other things, appropriates funds for the SBA Paycheck Protection Program loans that are forgivable in certain situations to promote continued employment. On April 13, 2020 after having determined that it met the qualifications for this loan program due to the impact that COVID-19 would have on our financial condition, results of operations, and/or liquidity and applying for relief, the Company received a loan under the SBA Paycheck Protection Program in the amount of $1.4 million. The Company made this assertion in good faith based upon all available guidance and accounted for the PPP Loan as a debt instrument in accordance with FASB ASC 470, Debt. The Company used the proceeds from the PPP Loan to retain employees, maintain payroll and make lease, rent and utility payments.

Under the terms of the PPP Loan, the Company was eligible for full or partial loan forgiveness. The Company received full forgiveness of the PPP Loan during the first quarter of 2021 and recognized a $1.4 million gain on extinguishment and forgiveness of debt in other income (see Note 5 - Other Expense (Income)).

At December 31, 2020, $633 of principal payments due were recorded as long-term debt and $780 as current debt in accordance with the enactment of the Paycheck Protection Program Flexibility Act of 2020.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIOOPERATIONS.NS.

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the accompanying consolidated interim financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020,2021, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 30, 2021.31, 2022.

Unless the context requires otherwise, references in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to the “Company,” “Pioneer,” “we,” “our” and “us” refer to Pioneer Power Solutions, Inc. and its subsidiaries.

Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains “forward-looking statements,” which include information relating to future events, future financial performance, financial projections, strategies, expectations, competitive environment and regulation. Words such as “may,” “should,” “could,” “would,” “predicts,” “potential,” “continue,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “future,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,” “estimates,” and similar expressions, as well as statements in future tense, identify forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements should not be read as a guarantee of future performance or results and may not be accurate indications of when such performance or results will be achieved. Forward-looking statements are based on information we have when those statements are made or management’s good faith belief as of that time with respect to future events, and are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual performance or results to differ materially from those expressed in or suggested by the forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause such differences include, but are not limited to:

General economic conditions and their effect on demand for electrical equipment, particularly in the commercial construction market, but also in the power generation, industrial production, data center, oil and gas, marine and infrastructure industries.

The effects of fluctuations in sales on our business, revenues, expenses, net income (loss), income (loss) per share, margins and profitability.

Many of our competitors are better established and have significantly greater resources and may subsidize their competitive offerings with other products and services, which may make it difficult for us to attract and retain customers.

We depend on CleanSpark, Inc (“CleanSpark”) for a large portion of our business, and any change in the level of orders from CleanSpark could have a significant impact on results of operations.

The potential loss or departure of key personnel, including Nathan J. Mazurek, our chairman, president and chief executive officer.

Our ability to generate internal growth, maintain market acceptance of our existing products and gain acceptance for our new products.

Unanticipated increases in raw material prices or disruptions in supply could increase production costs and adversely affect our profitability.

Our ability to realize revenue reported in our backlog.

Operating margin risk due to competitive pricing and operating efficiencies, supply chain risk, material, labor or overhead cost increases, interest rate risk and commodity risk.

Strikes or labor disputes with our employees may adversely affect our ability to conduct our business.

The impact of geopolitical activity on the economy, changes in government regulations such as income taxes, climate control initiatives, the timing or strength of an economic recovery in our markets and our ability to access capital markets.

Our chairman controls a majority of our voting power, and may have, or may develop in the future, interests that may diverge from yours.

Future sales of large blocks of our common stock may adversely impact our stock price.

The liquidity and trading volume of our common stock.

Our business could be adversely affected by an outbreak of disease, epidemic or pandemic, such as the global coronavirus pandemic, or similar public threat, or fear of such an event.


The foregoing does not represent an exhaustive list of matters that may be covered by the forward-looking statements contained herein or risk factors that we are faced with that may cause our actual results to differ from those anticipated in our forward-looking statements. Moreover, new risks regularly emerge, and it is not possible for us to predict or articulate all risks we face, nor can we assess the impact of all risks on our business or the extent to which any risk, or combination of risks, may cause actual results to differ from those contained in any forward-looking statements. Except to the extent required by applicable laws or rules, we undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. You should review carefully the risks and uncertainties described under the heading “Part II - Item 1A. Risk Factors” in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and “Part I - Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 20202021 for a discussion of the foregoing and other risks that relate to our business and investing in shares of our common stock.

24Known Trends, Events, Uncertainties and Factors That May Affect Future Operations

We believe that our future operating results will continue to be subject to quarterly variations based upon a wide variety of factors, including the cyclical nature of the electrical equipment industry and the markets for our products and services. Our operating results could also be impacted by changing customer requirements and exposure to fluctuations in prices of important raw supplies, such as copper, steel and aluminum. We have various insurance policies, including cybersecurity, covering risks in amounts that we consider adequate. In addition to these measures, we attempt to recover other cost increases through improvements to our manufacturing efficiency and through increases in prices where competitively feasible. Lastly, other economic conditions we cannot foresee may affect customer demand. The impact of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, including the Omicron variant of COVID-19, which appears to be the most transmissible variant to-date, and the subvariant, BA.5, is currently indeterminable and rapidly evolving, and has affected and may continue to affect our operations and the global economy. In addition, the consequences of the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine, including related sanctions and countermeasures, are difficult to predict, and could adversely impact geopolitical and macroeconomic conditions, the global economy, and contribute to increased market volatility, which may in turn adversely affect our business and operations. We predominately sell to customers in the industrial production and commercial construction markets. Accordingly, changes in the condition of any of our customers may have a greater impact than if our sales were more evenly distributed between different end markets. For a further discussion of factors that may affect future operating results see the sections entitled “Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and “Part I - Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Management’s Conclusions Regarding Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

We conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our “disclosure controls and procedures” (“Disclosure Controls”), as defined by Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), as of June 30, 20212022 (the “Evaluation Date”), the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. There are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any system of disclosure controls and procedures. As of June 30, 2021,2022, based on the evaluation of these disclosure controls and procedures, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.

 

Management believes that the condensed consolidated financial statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q fairly present, in all material respects, the Company’s financial condition as of the Evaluation Date, and results of its operations and cash flows for the Evaluation Date, in conformity with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.U.S. GAAP.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

 

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

 

From time to time, we may become involved in lawsuits, investigations and claims that arise in the ordinary course of business.

On January 11, 2016, Myers Power Products, Inc., a specialty electrical products manufacturer, filed suit with the Superior Court of the State of California, County of Los Angeles, against us, PCEP and two PCEP employees who are former employees of Myers Power Products, Inc., Geo Murickan, the president of PCEP (“Murickan”), and Brett DeChellis (“DeChellis”), alleging, among other things, that Murickan wrongly used and retained confidential business information of Myers Power Products, Inc. for the benefit of us and PCEP, in breach of their confidentiality agreement and/or employment agreement entered into with Myers Power Products, Inc., and that we and PCEP knowingly received and used such confidential business information. Myers Power Products, Inc. sought injunctive relief enjoining us, PCEP and our employees from using its confidential business information and compensatory damages of an unspecified unlimited amount; however, the Company recognized approximately $1.2 million for expected costs related to this litigation in the prior two fiscal years.

On October 4, 2019, the dividend that was payable by the Company was enjoined by court order of the Superior Court of California related to the foregoing case. On October 16, 2019, Myers Power Products, Inc. filed an ex parte application arguing the Company had violated, or intended to violate the modified preliminary injunction and sought an order from the court for the Company to post a bond in an amount of $30,000 or more (which was not granted). The Company cancelled the dividend as the result of this court order.

There were also two related appeals in the California Court of Appeal for the Second Appellate District (“Court of Appeal”). Case no. B301494 was an appeal of the October 4, 2019 order modifying a previously issued preliminary injunction. Case no. B302943 was an appeal of the November 26, 2019 order requiring Pioneer Power Solutions, Inc. and Pioneer Custom Electrical Products Corp. to obtain and post a $12 million bond. On April 10, 2020, the Court of Appeal granted our motion to combine the two appeals.

On November 20, 2020, the Company entered into a settlement and release agreement with Myers Power Products, Inc. As part of the settlement, all injunctions were dissolved, and all litigation and appeals related to the action were dismissed with prejudice. The parties executed full releases of all known and unknown claims, thereby eliminating all such restrictions on the Company. Terms of the settlement were not disclosed; however, the Company agreed to pay Myers Power Products, Inc. an amount that did not differ significantly from the $1.2 million of expected costs the Company recognized as a legal contingency during the year ended December 31, 2018. This payment was made during the fourth quarter of 2020.

We can give no assurance that any other lawsuits or claims brought in the future will not have an adverse effect on our financial condition, liquidity or operating results.

 

As of the date hereof, we are not aware of or a party to any legal proceedings to which we or any of our subsidiaries is a party or to which any of our property is subject, nor are we aware of any such threatened or pending litigation or any such proceedings known to be contemplated by governmental authorities that we believe could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or operating results.

 

We can give no assurance that any other lawsuits or claims brought in the future will not have an adverse effect on our financial condition, liquidity or operating results.

We are not aware of any material proceedings in which any of our directors, officers or affiliates or any registered or beneficial shareholder of more than 5% of our common stock is an adverse party or has a material interest adverse to our interest.

 

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

Risk Factors” of our Annual Reportannual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020.2021, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 31, 2022, and are supplemented with the following revised risk factors:

We currently derive a significant portion of our revenues from a few customers. Material or significant loss of business from these customers could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and operating results.

We currently derive a large portion of our revenues from a few customers, and material or significant loss of business from these customers could have a significant impact on our results of operations. As of June 30, 2022, three customers accounted for approximately 42% of our sales: CleanSpark accounted for approximately 14%, which were revenues recorded prior to the termination of the Distribution Agreement on June 3, 2022; Enchanted Rock, LLC became one of our largest customers following the termination of the Distribution Agreement and accounted for approximately 11%; and a utility company based in California accounted for approximately 17%.
