The Company believes the transactionSolcius Acquisition enhances economies of scale, leading to better access to suppliers, vendors and financial partners, as well as marketing and customer acquisition opportunities.

 

The Solcius Acquisition was consummated on April 8, 2021, pursuant to a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement, dated as of April 8, 2021 (the “Purchase Agreement”), by and between Buyer and Seller. The purchase price for Solcius consisted of $51,750 in cash, subject to post-closing adjustments related to working capital, cash, indebtedness and transaction expenses. The acquired assets and operating results of Solcius are included in these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements (“financial statements”) and footnotes since the date of acquisition through September 30, 20212022 (see Note 3).

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements (“financial statements”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all normal recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

This summary of significant accounting policies of the Company is presented to assist in understanding the Company’s financial statements. These accounting policies conform to GAAP and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements.

There have been no significant changes in the Company’s accounting policies from those disclosed in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Sunworks, Inc., and its wholly owned operating subsidiaries,subsidiaries: Sunworks United MDInc., Commercial Solar Energy, Plan BInc. and Solcius.Solcius LLC. All material intercompany transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation of these entities.

 

Reclassifications

 

Certain reclassificationsprior period amounts have been made to prior year’s financial statementsreclassified to conform to classifications used in the current year. Sales commissions, finders’ fees and financing fees paid to third parties have been reclassified frompresentation. The reclassifications impact historical cost of goods sold, to sellingdepreciation, amortization and marketing ingeneral and administrative expenses. During the condensed consolidated statementsquarter ended September 30, 2021, $201 of operations with no change in thedepreciation and $667 of backlog amortization previously reported net losses. Customer deposits have beenin depreciation and amortization expense and $478 of costs previously reported in general and administrative expense are now reclassified to cost of goods sold. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, $407 of depreciation and included$1,333 of backlog amortization previously reported in depreciation and amortization expense and $771 previously reported in general and administrative expense are now reclassified to cost of goods sold. Additionally, other reclassifications impact historical segment reporting disclosures as historical corporate payroll costs were moved from the commercial operations segment to the corporate segment for enhanced reporting disclosures.

Change in Accounting Estimate

In July 2022, we completed an assessment of the contract liabilities.fulfillment costs that give rise to an asset for residential contracts. We determined that additional specifically identifiable costs related directly to residential contracts can be capitalized, in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Section 340-40. The additional capitalized costs of approximately $2,794 as of September 30, 2022, include the allocation of costs that relate directly to the residential contracts. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, the related capitalizable contract fulfillment costs were not material.

Segment Reporting

We currently operate in three segments based upon our organizational structure and the way in which our operations are managed and evaluated. Our largest segment is Residential Solar which are projects smaller in size and shorter in duration. Our second operating segment is Commercial Solar Energy which includes projects that are commonly larger in size and longer in duration serving commercial, industrial, agricultural and public works customers. Our third segment is the Corporate, which is responsible for general company oversight and management. Disaggregating the corporate costs from the residential and commercial operations simplifies the performance evaluation of the Residential Solar and Commercial Solar Energy segments.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenuerevenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates include estimates used to assess the realizability ofreview the Company’s goodwill, intangibles, impairments and estimations of long-lived assets, revenue recognition on construction contracts recognized over time, fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination, allowances for uncollectible accounts, operatingfinance lease right-of-use assets and financeliabilities, operating lease right-of-use assets and liabilities, warranty reserves, inventory valuation, valuations of non-cash capital stock issuances and the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable in the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Revenue Recognition

 

Revenue and related costs on construction contracts are recognized as the performance obligations for work are satisfied over time in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”)ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Under ASC 606, revenue and associated profit, engineering, procurement and construction (“EPC”) projects for residential and smaller commercial systems that require us to deliver functioning solar power systems are generally completed within two to twelve months from commencement of construction. Construction on larger commercial projects may be completed within eighteen to thirty-six months, depending on the size and location. We recognize revenue from commercial EPC services over time as our performance creates or enhances an energy generation asset controlled by the customer.

 

For residential contracts, the Company recognizes revenue upon completion of the job as determined by final inspection. We recognize revenue for systems operations and maintenance over the term of the service period.

 

For EPC revenue,commercial projects, we commence recognizing performance revenue when work starts on the job and continue recognizing revenue over time as work is performed based on the ratio of costs incurred, excluding modules and components, compared to the total estimated non-materials costs at completion of the performance obligations.

 

Judgment is required to evaluate assumptions including the amount of net contract revenue and the total estimated costs to determine the Company’s progress towards contract completion and to calculate the corresponding amount of revenue to recognize. If estimated total costs on any contract are greater than the net contract revenue, the Company recognizes the entire estimated loss in the period the loss becomes known.

 

Changes in estimates for EPC servicescommercial projects occur for a variety of reasons, including, but not limited to (i) construction plan accelerations or delays, (ii) product cost forecast changes, (iii) change orders, or (iv) changes in other information used to estimate costs. Changes in estimates may have a material effect in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations. The table below outlines the impact on revenue of net changes in estimated transaction prices and input costs for systems related sales contracts (both increases and decreases) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 20212022 and 20202021 as well as the number of projects that comprise such changes. For purposes of the following table, only projects with changes in estimates that have an impact on revenue and and/or cost of at least $100, calculated on a quarterly basis during the periods, wereare presented. Also included in the table is the net change in estimate as a percentage of the aggregate revenue for such projects.

Contract Assets and Liabilities

 

Contract assets consist of (i) the earned, but unbilled, portion of a project for which payment is deferred by the customer until certain contractual milestones are met; (ii) direct costs, including all installation materials, commissions, installation labor, benefit related costs and permitting fees paid prior to recording revenue, and (iii) unbilled receivables which represent revenue that has been recognized in advance of billing the customer, which is common for larger construction contracts. Contract liabilities consist of deferred revenue, customer deposits and customer advances, which represent consideration received from a customer prior to transferring control of goods or services to the customer under the terms of a contract. Total contract assets and contract liabilities balances as of the respective dates are as follows:

Leases

The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating lease right-of-use assets (“ROU assets”) and short-term and long-term lease liabilities are included in the condensed consolidated balance sheet. With the acquisition of Solcius in April 2021, the Company has finance lease ROU assets and finance lease liabilities, which are presented appropriately in the condensed consolidated balance sheet.

ROU assets represent the right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating and finance lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. As most of the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses an incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. The operating and finance lease ROU asset also excludes lease incentives. The Company’s lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company has lease agreements with lease and non-lease components, which are accounted for as a single lease component. For lease agreements with terms less than 12 months, the Company has elected the short-term lease measurement and recognition exemption, and the Company recognizes such lease payments on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

10

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company periodically issues stock options and restricted stock units (“RSU”) to employees and non-employees. The Company accounts for stock option and RSU grants issued and vesting to employees based on the authoritative guidance provided by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) whereas the value of the award is measured on the date of grant and recognized over the vesting period. The Company accounts for stock option and RSU grants issued and vesting to non-employees in accordance with the authoritative guidance of the FASB whereas the value of the stock compensation is based upon the measurement date as determined at either a) the date at which a performance commitment is reached, or b) at the date at which the necessary performance to earn the equity instruments is complete. Non-employee stock-based compensation charges generally are amortized over the vesting period on a straight-line basis. In certain circumstances where there are no future performance requirements by the non-employee, option grants are immediately vested and the total stock-based compensation charge is recorded in the period of the measurement date.

 

Basic and Diluted Net (Loss) per Share Calculations

 

(Loss) per Share dictates the calculation of basic earnings (loss) per share and diluted earnings per share. Basic earnings (loss) per share are computed by dividing income (loss) available to holders of common shareholdersstock by the weighted-average number of shares of common shares available.stock outstanding. Diluted earnings per share is computed similar to basic earnings per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional shares of common sharesstock that would have been outstanding if the potential shares of common sharesstock had been issued and if the additional shares of common sharesstock were dilutive. The shares for employee options, restricted stock, warrants and RSUsconvertible notes were not used in the calculation of the net loss per share.

 

A net loss causes all outstanding common stock options and unvested RSUsrestricted stock units (“RSUs”) to be anti-dilutive. As a result, the basic and diluted losses per common share are the same for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

As of September 30, 2022, the potentially dilutive securities that have been excluded from the computations of weighted average shares outstanding include 236,720 stock options and 2020, respectively.1,080,914 unvested RSUs.

 

As of September 30, 2021, the potentially dilutive securities that have been excluded from the computations of weighted average shares outstanding include307,698 stock options and317,500unvested RSUs.

As of September 30, 2020, the potentially dilutive securities that have been excluded from the computations of weighted average shares outstanding include 128,411 stock options.

 

Dilutive per share amounts are computed using the weighted-average number of shares of common sharesstock outstanding and potentially dilutive securities, using the treasury stock method, if their effect would be dilutive.

11

Business Combinations and Goodwill

The Company accounts for business combinations under the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC 805, “Business Combinations,” where the total purchase price is allocated to the tangible and identified intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values. The purchase price is allocated using the information currently available, and may be adjusted, up to one year from acquisition date, after obtaining more information regarding, among other things, asset valuations, liabilities assumed and revisions to preliminary estimates. The purchase price in excess of the fair value of the tangible and identified intangible assets acquired less liabilities assumed is recognized as goodwill.

The Company retains a valuation consulting firm to test for goodwill impairment in the fourth quarter of each year and whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its fair value and may not be recoverable. Early in 2020, as a result of the events and circumstances resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company’s outlook for revenue, profitability and cash flow had deteriorated. Therefore, the Company performed a quantitative assessment of goodwill at March 31, 2020. It was determined that the carrying value of goodwill exceeded its fair value at March 31, 2020. As a result, the Company recorded an impairment of $4,000. In accordance with the Company’s policies, the Company performed a quantitative assessment of goodwill at December 31, 2020 and no impairment was found. There were no events or circumstances that indicated impairment of goodwill at September 30, 2021.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Disclosures about fair value of financial instruments, requires disclosure of the fair value information, whether or not recognized in the balance sheet, where it is practicable to estimate that value. As of September 30, 2021, the amounts reported for cash, accrued interest and other expenses, and notes payable approximate the fair value because of their short maturities.

We account for financial instruments measured as fair value on a recurring basis under ASC Topic 820. ASC Topic 820 defines fair value and established a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with GAAP and also expands disclosures about fair value measurements.

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. ASC Topic 820 established a three-tier fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (level 3 measurements). These tiers include:

Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets;
Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable such as quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets or quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and
Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions, such as valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.

New Accounting Pronouncements

 

Management reviewed currently issued pronouncements during the nine months ended September 30, 2021,2022, and believes that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would not have a material effect on the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

3. BUSINESS ACQUISITION

 

On April 8, 2021, pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company, through its operating subsidiary Sunworks United, Inc. acquired all of the issued and outstanding membership interests of Solcius from the Seller.

13. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Subsequent events have been evaluated from the condensed consolidated balance sheet date of September 30, 2022 through the date of this Quarterly Report. Based on management’s evaluation, there are no events that required recognition or disclosure in the Company’s accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements or the related notes thereto.

 

On October 12, 2020, a putative class complaint was filed by a purported stockholder of Sunworks regarding the contemplated but terminated merger among iSun, Inc. (formerly The Peck Company Holdings, Inc.), Peck Mercury, Inc. and Sunworks (the “Merger”). The complaint names, as defendants, each of the Sunworks’ Board of Directors (the “Directors”) and asserts that the Directors breached their fiduciary duties. The plaintiff alleges that the consideration to be received by stockholders of Sunworks was inadequate and that the Registration Statement on Form S-4 contained materially incomplete and misleading information regarding the proposed Merger. On November 24, 2020, the parties filed a joint stipulation to dismiss the action without prejudice with a reservation for plaintiff to seek attorneys’ fees and costs; the Court granted that stipulation and ordered the dismissal on November 25, 2020. On May 17, 2021, the Court granted a stipulation by the parties for plaintiff’s counsel to receive an award of $500 as a mootness fee which was promptly paid by the Company. This amount had been recorded as an accrued liability as of December 31, 2020. As part of the stipulation, the Company did not admit any liability or wrongdoing and the case was closed.

There were seven other actions related to the same proposed transaction, all of which have been voluntarily dismissed by the respective plaintiffs.

13. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On October 21, 2021, the Company filed a prospectus supplement with the SEC, pursuant to which the Company could offer and sell from time to time, through the Agent RCP, shares of the Company’s common stock, registered under the Securities Act, pursuant to the Registration Statement.

In accordance with the terms of the Roth Sales Agreement, we may offer and sell shares of our common stock under this prospectus having an aggregate offering price of up to $25 million (the “New Placement Shares”) from time to time through or to Agent RCP, as sales agent or principal.

The financial and operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, include the operating results of Solcius acquired on April 8, 2021, with only a partial contribution for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021.

 

Overview

 

We provide photovoltaic (PV) basedOn April 8, 2021, Sunworks, through its operating subsidiary Sunworks United, acquired all of the issued and outstanding membership interests (the “Solcius Acquisition”) of Solcius, from Solcius Holdings, LLC (“Seller”). Located in Provo, Utah, Solcius is a full-service, residential solar systems provider. The transaction creates a national solar power systems for the commercial, public works, and residential marketsprovider with a presence now in 15 states, including California, Utah, Nevada, Massachusetts, Oregon, New Jersey, Utah, Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico, Texas, Colorado, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey and South Carolina,Carolina. The Company believes the transaction enhances economies of scale, leading to better access to suppliers, vendors and financial partners, as well as marketing and customer acquisition opportunities.

The Solcius Acquisition was consummated on April 8, 2021, pursuant to a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement, dated as of April 8, 2021 (the “Purchase Agreement”), by and between Sunworks United and Seller. The purchase price for Solcius consisted of $51,750 in cash.

Residential Solar

Through our Residential Solar operating subsidiary, we design, arrange financing, integrate, install, and manage systems, primarily for residential homeowners. We sell residential solar systems through multiple channels, including our network of sales channel partners, and our growing direct sales channel strategy. We operate in several residential and commercial markets including California, Utah, Nevada, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, Colorado, Minnesota, Wisconsin Minnesota and Hawaii.South Carolina. We have direct sales and/or operations personnel in California, Nevada, Massachusetts, Utah, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, Colorado, South Carolina, Wisconsin and Minnesota.

Commercial Solar Energy

Through our CSE operating subsidiaries,subsidiary, we design, arrange financing, integrate, install, and manage systems ranging in size from 2kW (kilowatt) for residential projects to multi-MW (megawatt) systems for larger commercial and public works projects. Commercial installations have included installations at office buildings, manufacturing plants, warehouses, service stations, churches, and agricultural facilities such as farms, wineries, and dairies. Public works installations have included school districts, local municipalities, federal facilities and higher education institutions. We provide a full rangeHistorically, our CSE subsidiary participated in the California residential solar market. Following the Solcius Acquisition, all new residential sales are managed under the Solcius brand. Due to materiality, the Company will continue to report the remaining backlog of installation servicesresidential projects in the Commercial Solar Energy segment, which is expected to our solar energy customers including design, system engineering, procurement, permitting, construction, grid connection, warranty, system monitoring and maintenance.be fulfilled within the next year. CSE primarily operates in California.

We currently operate in two segments based upon our organizational structure and the way in which our operations are managed and evaluated. Our Solcius segment is responsible for the vast majority of our residential market revenue and our Sunworks segment services primarily commercial and public works markets.

As a result of the Solcius acquisition in April 2021, the portion of our consolidated revenue from residential installations has increased significantly.

 

For the first nine monthsthird quarter of 2021,2022, approximately 73%92% of our 2021 revenue was from installations for the residential market. For the same period,market and approximately 27%8% of our revenue was from installations for the commercial and public works markets.

 

For the first nine monthsthird quarter of 2020,2021 approximately 26%79% of our revenue was from installations for the residential market and approximately 74%21% of our 2020 revenue was from installations for the commercial and public works markets. Solcius revenue was only included since its acquisition date of April 8, 2021.

Strategic Update

Increase the velocity of installation. We believe a reduction in the time required to install a residential solar installation improves both pricing power with third-party channel relationships and customer retention. During the second and third quarters of 2022, we decentralized all design, permitting and scheduling activities to local and regional Company hubs, while continuing to leverage the benefits of scale across shared services. We will continue to utilize lean principles and practices to optimize workflow and improve installation timelines.

Expand cost-efficient direct sales channel. We have embarked on a multi-year initiative to develop a robust, direct sales team designed to complement our third-party channel partners. This direct sales team is incentivized to develop business across the residential markets where we operate, with an emphasis on rooftop solar installations. During the third quarter of 2022, the direct sales team was responsible 24% of total installation revenue, versus approximately 4% in the prior-year period.

Drive efficient sourcing and procurement. We intend to shift an increased proportion of our sourcing away from foreign, third-party distribution channels toward U.S. based original equipment manufacturers, an approach that will allow for improved surety of supply. By year-end 2024, we intend to source a significant share of our panel and component inventory from U.S. based producers, whereas no materials are currently sourced domestically. During the third quarter of 2022, we grew total inventory by $8,100 on a sequential quarter basis to $26,900, thereby ensuring product availability during a period of elevated customer demand.

Drive sustained margin expansion. We believe key drivers of margin expansion include programmatic price increases; market share gains in both our core California commercial market and new geographic regions; reductions in lead times; optimization of our sales channel partner network; an increased mix of revenue derived from our direct sales force; increased productivity resulting from recent headcount investments; and the adoption of lean principles to reduce cost and drive continuous improvement. We expect to achieve improved margin realization in the fourth quarter 2022, when compared to the first nine months of 2022, as recent performance improvement initiatives are further implemented.

Orders and Backlog

For the quarter ended September 30, 2022, our combined backlog was $110,000, representing an increase of 116% compared to the third quarter of 2021.

Residential Solar segment originations increased 48% in the three months ended September 30, 2022, compared to the prior year period, driven by growth in both dealer and direct channels. Within this segment, originations generated from the direct sales channel were approximately 24%, in the three months ended September 30, 2022, compared to approximately 3% in the prior period, due to execution against our stated goal to diversify our sources of originations. As a result of these improvements, the Residential Solar backlog increased to $70,000, during the third quarter of 2022 which is double the prior year quarter and up approximately 18% on a sequential quarter basis. We expect to execute against our Residential Solar segment backlog over the next 1-5 months, as project complexity, jurisdictional requirements, materials and labor availability each influence timelines for completion.

Commercial Solar segment orders were approximately $8,000 during the three months ended September 30, 2022, compared to approximately $6,000 during the comparable period in 2021. The Commercial Solar segment backlog increased to approximately $40,000, during the third quarter of 2022, which represents an increase of over double the prior year period. We expect to execute against this backlog over the next 3-18 months, subject to receiving timely authorizations to proceed with construction from the various stakeholders.

IMPACT OF COVID-19 ON OUR BUSINESS

 

The continued global novel coronavirus and its variants (COVID-19) pandemic, has resulted in significant governmental measures being implemented to control the spread of the virus, including quarantines, travel restrictions and business shutdowns. The uncertain macroeconomic environment created by the COVID-19 pandemic has had and willmay continue to have a significant, adverse impact on our business. To assist readers in reviewing management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations, we provide the following discussion regarding the effects COVID-19 has had on the Company, what management expects the future impact to be, how we are responding to evolving circumstances and how we are planning for further COVID-19 uncertainties.

 

State and local directives, guidelines, and other restrictions, as well as consumer behavior, continue to impact our operations in the regions in which we operate, particularly California. During the three months2022 and nine months ended September 30, 2021 we continued to serve customers. COVID-19 and the governmental directives materially disrupted the operations of the local and state governments by closing or restricting operations at city, county and state offices for design reviews, permitting projects, and inspections of projects. Utility companies have been unable to provide timely shutdowns, inspections and interconnection approvals. This disruption negatively impacts our ability to complete projects, generate revenue on projects in backlog and causes many customers to delay decisions on new projects.

 

Our revenue and gross profit infor the three andfirst nine months ended September 30, 2021of 2022 were negatively impacted by governmental responses to the COVID-19 pandemic, which delayed pre-construction approvals and installation activity for our larger public works, agriculture and commercial projects by delaying approvals and restricting our employees’ access to our work sites.approvals. Earlier governmental orders and social distancing guidelines slowed our sales process, as our customers avoided interacting with our sales and installation personnel and delayed buying decisions.

 

We received a loan under the Paycheck Protection Program of $2,847 which was used to pay for payroll costs, interest on debt, rent, utilities, and group health care benefits, allowing the Company to focus on revenue generating activities in an effort to mitigate some of the impact COVID-19 has on our business. The entire principal of the loan and all accrued interest was forgiven in June of 2021.

 

Although there is uncertainty around the continued impact and severity the COVID-19 pandemic has had, and will continue to have, on our operations, these developments and measures have negatively affected our business.business, including a negative impact on the supply chain upon which we rely on to operate. We will continue to manageattempt to mitigate the impact through appropriate operational measures. Of concern is how the COVID-19 pandemic continues to spread and could continue to adversely impact our ability to source materials used in our operations or affect our ability to complete ongoing installations in a timely manner. Several of our personnel have been subject to Company-imposed quarantine restrictions based upon possible contact with individuals who have tested positive. We are encouraging our personnel to wear masks and use social distancing and we believe we are taking appropriate sanitization measures. We cannot predict whether any one of our key executives or other personnel could become incapacitated by COVID-19 and its variants.

 

As the COVID-19 pandemic and its effects evolve, we are monitoring our business to ensure that our expenses are in line with expected cash generation. In March 2020, we formed an internal task force to evaluate the ongoing impact of COVID-19 on our business. This task force reviews and analyzes ongoing developments related to COVID-19 as they impact our business and operations. The extent to which our results are affected by the COVID-19 pandemic will largely depend on future developments which cannot be accurately predicted and are uncertain, but the COVID-19 pandemic has had and will continue to have an adverse effect on our business, operations, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.

 

Critical Accounting PoliciesEstimates

 

Our discussion and analysis ofWe prepare our financial condition and results of operations are based upon ourunaudited condensed consolidated financial statements which have been prepared in accordanceconformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). The preparation of these financial statements(“GAAP”), which requires usmanagement to make estimates and judgmentsassumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue on construction contracts recognized over time, fair value of assets acquiredrevenues and liabilities assumedexpenses recorded in a business combination, expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to impairment of property, plant and equipment, intangible assets, operating and finance lease right-of-use assets and liabilities, deferred tax assets, costs to complete projects, and fair value computation using the Black Scholes option pricing model.financial statements. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions such as the trading value of our common stock and estimated future undiscounted cash flows, that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions; however, we believe that our estimates, including those for the above-described items, are reasonable.

21

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates include estimates used to assess the realizability of our goodwill, impairments and estimations of long-lived assets, revenue recognition on construction contracts recognized over time, fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination, allowances for uncollectible accounts, operating and finance lease right-of-use-assets and liabilities, warranty reserves, inventory valuation, valuations of non-cash capital stock issuances and the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable in the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carryingcarry values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources.

These estimates may change as new events occur and additional information is obtained. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions orand conditions.

 

Revenue Recognition

Revenue andThere were changes in our critical accounting estimates during the third quarter. In July 2022, we completed an assessment of the contract fulfillment costs that give rise to an asset for residential contracts. We determined that additional specifically identifiable costs related costs on constructiondirectly to residential contracts are recognized as the performance obligations for work are satisfied over timecan be capitalized, in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Under ASC 606, revenue(“ASC”) Section 340-40. The additional capitalized costs of approximately $2,794 as of September 30, 2022, include the allocation of costs that relate directly to the residential contracts. This change in estimate is an update of the estimates previously disclosed in “Critical Accounting Policies” and associated profit, engineering, procurement“Use of Estimates” in “Management’s Discussion and construction (EPC) projects for residentialAnalysis of Financial Condition and smaller commercial systems that require us to deliver functioning solar power systems are generally completed within two to twelveResults of Operations” included in our Annual Report. For the three and nine months from commencement of construction. Construction on larger commercial projects may be completed within eighteen to thirty-six months, depending on the size and location. We recognize revenue from EPC services over time as our performance creates or enhances an energy generation asset controlled by the customer.ended September 30, 2021, these related amounts were immaterial.

 

The cost of materials or equipment will generally be excluded from our recognition of profit, unless specifically produced or manufactured for a project, because such costs are not considered to be a measure of progress. All un-allocable indirect costs and corporate general and administrative costs are charged to the periods as incurred. However, in the event a loss on a contract is foreseen, we will recognize the loss in the period it is determined.

Revisions in cost and profit estimates, during the course of the contract, are reflected in the accounting period in which the facts, which require the revision, become known. We use an input method based on costs incurred as we believe that this method most accurately reflects our progress toward satisfaction of the performance obligation. Under this method, revenue arising from fixed-price construction contracts is recognized as work is performed based on the ratio of costs incurred to date to the total estimated costs at completion of the performance obligations. Changes in job performance, job conditions, and estimated profitability, including those arising from contract penalty provisions, and final contract settlements may result in revisions to costs and income and are recognized in the period in which the revisions are determined.

Contract Assets and Liabilities

Contract assets consist of (i) the earned, but unbilled, portion of a project for which payment is deferred by the customer until certain contractual milestones are met; and (ii) direct costs, including commissions, labor related costs and permitting fees paid prior to recording revenue, and (iii) unbilled receivables which represent revenue that has been recognized in advance of billing the customer, which is common for larger construction contracts. Contract liabilities consist of deferred revenue and customer deposits and customer advances, which represent consideration received from a customer prior to transferring control of goods or services to the customer under the terms of a contract.

Leases

We determine if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating lease right-of-use assets and short-term and long-term lease liabilities are included on the face of the condensed consolidated balance sheet. Finance lease ROU assets are presented within other assets, and finance lease liabilities presented as short-term or long-term finance lease liabilities.

ROU assets represent the right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. As most of our leases do not provide an implicit rate, we use an incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. The operating lease ROU asset also excludes lease incentives. Our lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. We have lease agreements with lease and non-lease components, which are accounted for as a single lease component. For lease agreements with terms less than 12 months, we have elected the short-term lease measurement and recognition exemption, which recognizes such lease payments on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Indefinite Lived Intangibles and Goodwill Assets

We account for business combinations under the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations, where the total purchase price is allocated to the tangible and identified intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values. The purchase price is allocated using the information currently available, and may be adjusted, up to one year from acquisition date, after obtaining more information regarding, among other things, asset valuations, liabilities assumed and revisions to preliminary estimates. The purchase price in excess of the fair value of the tangible and identified intangible assets acquired less liabilities assumed is recognized as goodwill.

We test for indefinite lived intangibles and goodwill impairment in the fourth quarter of each year and whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its fair value and may not be recoverable.

For the three months ended September 30, 2021,2022, revenue increased to $31,220$40,713 compared to $7,304$31,220 for the same quarter in the prior year. Approximately 92% of revenue was from installations for the residential markets, or $37,253, compared to 79% of revenue, or $24,854, for the same quarter in the prior year. The increase in residential revenue is a result of organic growth and the inclusion of the Residential Solar segment (Solcius) revenue.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)). Based upon that evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered in this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the required time periods specified in the SEC rules and forms and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls

 

Our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, do not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal controls will prevent all errors or fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. In addition, the design of any system of controls is based on assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with policies and procedures may deteriorate. Control systems can also be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control. Due to the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected.

 

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the fiscal third quarter ended September 30, 2021of 2022, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

 

Interest Rate Volatility

In addition to the other information set forth

Volatility and increases in this Form 10-Q, you should carefully consider the factors discussedinterest rates could adversely impact our business.   While interest rates have been at long-term historic lows in Part I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors,” of our 2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K, which could materially affect our business, financial condition, or future resultsrecent years, they have recently increased, and which are incorporated by reference herein. Set forth below are updates to certain of the risk factors disclosed in our 2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

We may not realize the anticipated benefits of past or future investments, strategic transactions, or acquisitions, and integration of these acquisitions may disrupt our business and management.

We havecontinue increasing in the past and may in the future, acquire companies, or enter into joint ventures or other strategic transactions. For example, on April 8, 2021,near future. While we acquired all of the membership interests of Solcius, for cash consideration of $51.8 million, a full service, residential solar system provider which provides proposal generation, engineering, permitting, installation services and financialdo not provide company branded financing solutions to customers in 14 states across the country, with the largest markets being Texas, California, New Mexico and Colorado.

We may not realize the anticipated benefits of past or future investments, strategic transactions, or acquisitions, and these transactions involve numerous risks that are not within our control. These risks include the following, among others:

difficulty in assimilating the operations, systems, and personnel of the acquired company;
difficulty in effectively integrating the acquired technologies or products with our current products and technologies;
difficulty in maintaining controls, procedures and policies during the transition and integration;
disruption of our ongoing business and distraction of our management and employees from other opportunities and challenges due to integration issues;
difficulty integrating the acquired company’s accounting, management information and other administrative systems;
inability to retain key technical and managerial personnel of the acquired business;
inability to retain key customers, vendors and other business partners of the acquired business;
inability to achieve the financial and strategic goals for the acquired and combined businesses;
incurring acquisition-related costs or amortization costs for acquired intangible assets that could impact our results of operations;
significant post-acquisition investments which may lower the actual benefits realized through the acquisition;
potential failure of the due diligence processes to identify significant issues with product quality, legal, and financial liabilities, among other things; and
potential inability to assert that internal controls over financial reporting are effective.

Our failure to address these risks, or other problems encountered in connection with our past or future investments, strategic transactions, or acquisitions, could cause us to fail to realize the anticipated benefits of these acquisitions or investments, cause us to incur unanticipated liabilities, and harm our business generally. Future acquisitions could also result in dilutive issuances of our equity securities, the incurrence of debt, contingent liabilities, amortization expenses, incremental expenses or the write-off of goodwill, any of which could harm our financial condition or results of operations, and the trading price of our common stock could decline.

Mergers and acquisitions are inherently risky, may not produce the anticipated benefits and could adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations.

27

Our customer acquisition function is concentrated with certain third-party solar sales channel partners and our growth depends on maintaining and expanding these relationships.

A key component of our growth strategy is to develop or expand our relationships with third parties. For example, we are investing resources in establishing strategic relationships with sales channel partners, to generate new customers. Developing new relationships may not occur as quickly as planned or may not generate new customers as planned. A significant portion of our business depends on attracting and retaining new and existing solar sales channel partners. For example, we diversified our market and product concentration following the acquisition of Solcius on April 8, 2021, a leading installer of residential solar systems, which operates in 14 states. Solcius utilizes a combination of sales channel partners and a direct sales strategy to generate new customers. Since acquisition, Solcius has had three sales channel partners that combined accounted for more than 80% of Solcius’ revenue for the first nine months of 2021. Negotiating relationships with our solar partners, investing in due diligence efforts with potential solar partners, training such third parties and contractors, and monitoring them for compliance with our standards require significant time and resources and may present greater risks and challenges than expanding a direct sales or installation team. If we are unsuccessful in establishing or maintaining our relationships with these third parties, our ability to grow our business and address our market opportunities could be impaired. Even if we are able to establish and maintain these relationships, we may not be able to execute on our goal of leveraging these relationships to meaningfully expand our business, brand recognition and customer base. This would limit our growth and our opportunities to generate significant additional revenue or cash flows.

We depend on a limited number of suppliers, for certain critical raw materials, components and finished products, including our modules. Any supply interruption or delay could adversely affect our business, prevent us from delivering products to our customers, within required timeframes,we partner with a diverse group of funding partners.  Rising interest rates increases the cost of capital for our funding partners, which are typically passed onto our customers.  As a result of the increase in the cost of our products and could in turn result in sales and installation delays, cancellations, penalty payments, or lossservices, there might be less adoption of market share.

Our supply chain is subject to natural disasters and other events beyond our control, such as raw material, component, and labor shortages, global and regional shipping and logistics constraints, work stoppages, epidemics or pandemics, earthquakes, floods, fires, volcanic eruptions, power outages, or other natural disasters, and the physical effects of climate change, including changes in weather patterns (including floods, fires, tsunamis, drought, and rainfall levels), water availability, storm patterns and intensities, and temperature levels. Human rights concerns, including forced labor and human trafficking, in foreign countries and associated governmental responses have the potential to disrupt our supply chainsolar systems and our operations couldcash flow might be adverselynegatively impacted. For example, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security issued a withhold release order on June 24, 2021 applicable to silica-based products made by a major producer of polysilicon used by manufacturers of solar panels in China’s Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region, over allegations of widespread, state-backed forced labor in the region. Although we do not believe that raw materials used in the products we sell are sourced from this or other regions with forced labor concerns, any delays or other supply chain disruption resulting from these concerns, associated governmental responses, or a desire to source products, components or materials from other manufacturers or regions could result in shipping, sales and installation delays, cancellations, penalty payments, or loss of revenue and market share, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, cash flows, and financial condition.
