Risks and Uncertainties

 

The Covid-19 pandemic has impacted global stock markets and economies.

The Company has taken and continues to take precautions to ensure the safety of its employees, customers and business partners, while assuring business continuity and reliable service and support to its customers. The Company continues to receive orders for its products, although some shipments of equipment have been temporarily delayed. The global chip shortage and supply chain disruptionsdisruption has caused some delays in the delivery of equipment orders from the Company’sits contract manufacturer. As federal, state and local economies begin to returnhave reopened and returns to pre-pandemic levels, and with vaccines being administered, the Company expects demand for charging station usage to increase;increase, however, the Company is unable to predict the extent of such recovery due to the uncertainty of Covid-19Covid-19. Additionally, other recent macroeconomic events including rising inflation, slowing economic growth, changes in certain areas.U.S. and foreign government monetary policies, supply chain disruptions, fluctuations in currency exchange rates and the Russian invasion of Ukraine have led to further economic uncertainty. As a result, the Company is unable to predict the ultimate impact thatof continuing equipment order delays, chip shortages, the impact of other economic conditions and the ongoingcontinuous presence of Covid-19 will have on its business, future results of operations, financial position, or cash flows.

2.SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Since the period covered by the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020,2021, there have been no material changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies, except as disclosed in this Note 2.note.

 

INVESTMENTS

Available-for-sale debt securities are recorded at fair value with the net unrealized gains and losses (that are deemed to be temporary) reported as a component of other comprehensive income (loss). Realized gains and losses and charges for other-than-temporary impairments are included in determining net income, with related purchase costs based on the first-in, first-out method. The Company evaluates its available-for-sale-investments for possible other-than-temporary impairments by reviewing factors such as the extent to which, and length of time, an investment’s fair value has been below the Company’s cost basis, the issuer’s financial condition, and the Company’s ability and intent to hold the investment for sufficient time for its market value to recover. For impairments that are other-than-temporary, an impairment loss is recognized in earnings equal to the difference between the investment’s cost and its fair value at the balance sheet date of the reporting period for which the assessment is made. The fair value of the investment then becomes the new amortized cost basis of the investment and it is not adjusted for subsequent recoveries in fair value.

The following is a summary of the unrealized gains, losses, and fair value by investment type as of September 30, 2021:

SCHEDULE OF UNREALIZED GAINS, LOSSES ON INVESTMENT

  September 30, 2021 
  Amortized Cost  Gross Unrealized Gains  Gross Unrealized Losses  Fair Value 
Fixed income $53,694   95  $(213) $53,577 

FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION

 

The Company’s reporting currency is the United States dollar. The functional currency of certain subsidiaries is the Euro.Euro and the Indian Rupee. Assets and liabilities are translated based on the exchange rates at the balance sheet date (1.15890.9797 )for the Euro, 0.0122 for the Indian Rupee, and 1.1156 for the Pound Sterling as of September 30, 2021,2022), while expense accounts are translated at the weighted average exchange rate for the period of (1.18010.9797) and (1.1898) for the threeEuro, 0.0123 for the Indian Rupee, and1.1156 for the Pound Sterling for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively.2022). Equity accounts are translated at historical exchange rates. The resulting translation adjustments are recognized in stockholders’ equity as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income.

Total Revenue $17,164  $6,347  $38,250  $12,710 

 

The timing of the Company’s revenue recognition may differ from the timing of payment by its customers. A receivable is recorded when revenue is recognized prior to payment and the Company has an unconditional right to payment. Alternatively, when payment precedes the provision of the related goods or services, the Company records deferred revenue until the performance obligations are satisfied.

 

As of September 30, 2021,2022, the Company had $1,75013,723 related to contract liabilities where performance obligations have not yet been satisfied, which has been included within deferred revenue on the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2021.2022. The Company expects to satisfy $8,823 of its remaining performance obligations for network fees, andcharging services, warranty revenue, product sales, and other revenues and recognize the revenue within the next twelve months.

 

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021,2022, the Company recognized $152333 and $399824, respectively, of revenues related to network fees and warranty contracts, which were included in deferred revenues as of December 31, 2020.2021. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021,2022, there was no revenue recognized from performance obligations satisfied (or partially satisfied) in previous periods.

 

Grants and rebates which are not within the scope of ASC 606, pertaining to revenues and periodic expenses are recognized as income when the related revenue and/or periodic expense are recorded. Grants and rebates related to EV charging stations and their installation are deferred and amortized in a manner consistent with the related depreciation expense of the related asset over their useful lives over the useful life of the charging station. During the three months ended September 30, 20212022 and 2020,2021, the Company recognized $5683 and $355, respectively, related to grant and rebate revenue. During the nine months ended September 30, 20212022 and 2020,2021, the Company recognized $280283 and $11280, respectively, related to grant and rebate revenue. At September 30, 20212022 and December 31, 2020,2021, there was $4,304 and $70 of deferred grant and rebate revenue to be amortized.

GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Goodwill ispurchases. During the excess of consideration paid for an acquired entity over the fair value of the amounts assigned to assets acquired, including other identifiable intangible assets, and liabilities assumed in a business combination. To determine the amount of goodwill resulting from a business combination,nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company performs an assessment to determine the acquisition date fair valuemade purchases from another significant supplier that represented 12% of the acquired company’s tangible and identifiable intangible assets and liabilities.

Goodwill is required to be evaluated for impairment on an annual basis or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the asset may be impaired. An entity has the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances leads to a determination that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. These qualitative factors include: macroeconomic and industry conditions, cost factors, overall financial performance and other relevant entity-specific events. If the entity determines that this threshold is met, then the Company may apply a one-step quantitative test and record the amount of goodwill impairment as the excess of a reporting unit’s carrying amount over its fair value, not to exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to the reporting unit. The Company determines fair value through multiple valuation techniques and weights the results accordingly. The Company is required to make certain subjective and complex judgments in assessing whether an event of impairment of goodwill has occurred, including assumptions and estimates used to determine the fair value of its reporting units. The Company has elected to perform its annual goodwill impairment review on November 1 of each year.purchases.

GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS - CONTINUED

As of September 30, 2021, there were no indicators, events or changes in circumstances that would indicate goodwill was impaired during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021.

Identifiable intangible assets primarily include trade name, customer relationships, favorable leases, internally developed technology, capitalized engineering costs and non-compete agreements. Amortizable intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives and reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the assets may be impaired. If an indicator of impairment exists, the Company will compare the estimated future cash flows of the asset, on an undiscounted basis, to the carrying value of the asset. If the undiscounted cash flows exceed the carrying value, no impairment is indicated. If the undiscounted cash flows do not exceed the carrying value, then impairment, if any, is measured as the difference between fair value and carrying value, with fair value typically based on a discounted cash flow model. There were no indicators, events or changes in circumstances that would indicate intangible assets were impaired during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021.

NET LOSS PER COMMON SHARE

Basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding, plus the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the common share equivalents had been issued (computed using the treasury stock or if converted method), if dilutive.

 

The following common share equivalents are excluded from the calculation of weighted average common shares outstanding because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive:

On April 19, 2022, the Company signed a non-binding letter of intent with a U.S. privately-held company (the “Target”) providing for the possible purchase by the Company of all of the outstanding shares of the Target from its shareholders in consideration for cash, a note and, under certain circumstances, shares of common stock of a subsidiary of the Company or, if such subsidiary’s shares are not publicly-traded, common stock of the Company. In addition, in the letter of intent, the Company agreed to extend a loan of $1,250 to the Target (the “Initial Loan”), in which $1,000 was loaned by the Company during the second quarter of 2022 and $250 was loaned in July 2022 pursuant to a 6% Secured Convertible Promissory Note signed by the Target. Under the terms of the Initial Loan, if the Company proceeds with the possible stock purchase of the Target, the principal and accrued interest amount under the Initial Loan will be deducted from the cash consideration paid to the Target’s shareholders at closing. If, however, the Company determines not to proceed with the possible stock purchase of the Target, the Initial Loan will continue to accrue 6% interest per annum, and mature on the earliest of (i) a “Change of Control” (as defined in such note); (ii) the closing of the next investment round by the Target; (iii) an Event of Default (as defined in such note); or (iv) May 1, 2027.

On September 22, 2022, the Company signed a letter agreement concerning the extension of the development work that the Target was performing for a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Subsidiary”) under a Master Service Agreement that was executed on April 29, 2022 (the “Letter Agreement”). Under the Letter Agreement, the Company agreed to extend additional loans to the Target to enable it to expand the development work and to expedite the delivery of the development outcomes (the “Product”) to the Subsidiary. In addition, the Letter Agreement provided that the Company will extend to the Target additional funding of up to $350 for hiring additional developers and an additional $600 to support the Target’s operations until the development work is finalized and accepted by the Company, which will be no later than November 30, 2022, or such later date that the parties may agree upon. The total amount of the loans may reach up to $950 (the “Development Loan”), in each case upon the Target’s request along with appropriate back-up documentation for such loan. $250 was loaned by the Company in September 2022. The Development Loan was made pursuant to a 6% Grid Secured Convertible Promissory Note and an additional letter agreement, dated September 22, 2022, signed by the Target with terms and conditions similar to those of the Initial Loan (the “Grid Note”). The Development Loan has additional terms which provide that the Company may forfeit the Development Loan if the Target timely delivers the Product and the Company fails to close the acquisition of the Target shortly thereafter. If, however, the Target fails to complete the development work on time, the Company will not be obligated to close the acquisition of the Target and the entire Development Loan will be payable to the Company under the same terms of the Initial Loan.

The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurements are projections over the earn-out period, and the probability outcome percentages that are assigned to each scenario. Significant increases or decreases to either of these inputs in isolation could result in a significantly higher or lower liability with a higher liability capped by the contractual maximum of the contingent consideration liabilities.

 

RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

In May 2021,Of the FASB issued ASU 2021-04, “Earnings Per Share (Topic 260), Debt—Modifications and Extinguishments (Subtopic 470-50), Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718), and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Issuer’s Accounting for Certain Modifications or Exchanges of Freestanding Equity-Classified Written Call Options.” This new standard provides clarification and reduces diversity in an issuer’s accounting for modifications or exchanges of freestanding equity-classified written call options (such as warrants) that remain equity classified after modification or exchange. This standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Issuers should apply the new standard prospectively to modifications or exchanges occurring after the effective date of the new standard. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. If an issuer elects to early adopt the new standard in an interim period, the guidance should be applied as of the beginning of the fiscal year that includes that interim period. The Company is evaluating this new standard and its impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-08, “Business Combinations (Topic 805)” (“ASU 2021-08”). The ASU improves the accounting for acquired revenue contracts with customers in a business combination by addressing diversity in practice and inconsistency related to recognition of an acquired contract liability and payment terms and their effect on subsequent revenue recognized by the acquirer. The update is effective for annual and interim periods within the fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2022, and early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. The Company is evaluating this new standard and its impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Headquartered in Belgium, with sales representative offices in several other European cities, Blue Corner owns and operates an EV charging network across Europe. The acquisition of Blue Corner was made to enter the European market and provide an opportunity to expand the Company’s footprint in this region.

The fair valueare being held in escrow accounts for periods of the Consideration Shares was calculated based on the average price of the Company’s common stock during the 30 consecutive trading days immediately preceding the closing date of the Share Purchase Agreement, which equaled $37.66 (or 30.88) per share, reduced by a discount for illiquidity due to the 12 month lockup that exists on any sales or transfers. The Company executed management agreements with key Blue Corner personnel, including equity incentive packages consisting of additional shares of the Company’s common stock which is compensatorymonths (cash escrow) and not included in the purchase price for this acquisition. The Company entered into an escrow agreement pursuant to the Share Purchase Agreement, under which the Company paid approximately $2,100 (1,725) of the purchase price into an escrow account for a period of up to 18 months (stock escrow), respectively, following the closing to cover any losses or damages the Companywe may incur by reason of, among other things, any misrepresentation or breach of warranty by Blue CornerEB under the ShareSale and Purchase Agreement.

 

In order to determineDuring the quarter ended September 30, 2022, the Company finalized its fair value determination on the acquired assets and assumed liabilities and completed its assessment of the purchase price allocation. As a result, the Company recognized certain measurement period adjustments, as summarized in the fair values of tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed for Blue Corner, the Company engaged a third-party independent valuation specialist to assist in the determination of fair values.tables below. Measurement period adjustments were recognized in the reporting period in which the adjustments were determined and calculated as if the accounting had been completed at the acquisition date.

The Amended Complaint does not quantify damages but seeks to recover damages on behalf of investors who purchased or otherwise acquired Blink’s common stock between March 6, 2020 and August 19, 2020. On April 20, 2021, Blink and the other defendants filed a motion to dismiss the Amended Complaint, which has now been fully briefed and is ready for review. On April 7, 2022, the court held oral argument on the motion to dismiss but did not issue a decision.

Farkas et al., Case No. 20- 19815CA01, was filed in Miami-Dade County Circuit Court seeking to pursue claims belonging to the Company against Blink’s Board of Directors and Michael Rama (the “Klein Lawsuit”). Blink is named as a nominal defendant.

The Klein Lawsuit asserts claims against the Director defendants for breach of fiduciary duties and corporate waste and against all of the defendants for unjust enrichment. Klein did not quantify the alleged damages in his complaint, but he seeks damages sustained by the Company as a result of the defendants’ breaches of fiduciary duties, corporate governance changes, restitution, and disgorgement of profits from the defendants and attorneys’ fees and other litigation expenses. The parties agreed to temporarily stay the Klein Lawsuit until there is a ruling on the motion to dismiss filed in the consolidated Bush Lawsuit.

In addition, in the letter of intent, the Company agreed to identifyextend a loan of $1,250 to the Target (the “Initial Loan”), of which, $1,000 was loaned by the Company during the second quarter of 2022 and process federal$250 was loaned in July 2022 pursuant to a 6% Secured Convertible Promissory Note signed by the Target. Under the terms of the Initial Loan, if the Company proceeds with the possible stock purchase of the Target, the principal and state funding opportunities for EV charging infrastructure development. Blink is committed to pursuing EV charging development grant opportunities in all 50 states. Sources of funding include fundingaccrued interest amount under the Initial Loan will be deducted from the United States Departmentcash consideration paid to the Target’s shareholders at closing. If, however, the Company determines not to proceed with the possible stock purchase of Energy, the United States Department of Transportation,Target, the VW mitigation settlement trust fund,Initial Loan will continue to accrue 6% interest per annum, and funding initiatives from utility service providers. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, we have been awarded approximately $24,000 in grants from federal and state agencies. Such awards are expected to be recognized as revenue in future periods basedmature on the grant contract or service lifeearliest of (i) a “Change of Control” (as defined in such note); (ii) the closing of the chargers.next investment round by the Target; (iii) an Event of Default (as defined in such note); or (iv) May 1, 2027.

On September 22, 2022, the Company signed a letter agreement concerning the extension of the development work that the Target was performing for a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Subsidiary”) under a Master Service Agreement that was executed on April 29, 2022 (the “Letter Agreement”). Under the Letter Agreement, the Company agreed to extend additional loans to the Target to enable it to expand the development work and to expedite the delivery of the development outcomes (the “Product”) to the Subsidiary. In addition, the Letter Agreement provided that the Company will extend to the Target additional funding of up to $350 for hiring additional developers and an additional $600 to support the Target’s operations until the development work is finalized and accepted by the Company, which will be no later than November 30, 2022, or such later date that the parties may agree upon. The total amount of the loans may reach up to $950 (the “Development Loan”), in each case upon the Target’s request along with appropriate back-up documentation for such loan. $250 was loaned by the Company in September 2022. The Development Loan was made pursuant to a 6% Grid Secured Convertible Promissory Note and an additional letter agreement, dated September 22, 2022, signed by the Target with terms and conditions similar to those of the Initial Loan (the “Grid Note”). The Development Loan has additional terms which provide that the Company may forfeit the Development Loan if the Target timely delivers the Product and the Company fails to close the acquisition of the Target shortly thereafter. If, however, the Target fails to complete the development work on time, the Company will not be obligated to close the acquisition of the Target and the entire Development Loan will be payable to the Company under the same terms of the Initial Loan.

 

Note on Covid-19 and Current Economic Conditions

The Covid-19 pandemic has impacted global stock markets and economies. We closely monitor the impact of the continuing presence of Covid-19 and multiplerecently identified variants of Covid-19 which appear to be more transmissible and contagious than previous Covid-19 variants and have caused an increase in the number of Covid-19 cases globally. We have taken and continue to take precautions to ensure the safety of our employees, customers and business partners, while assuring business continuity and reliable service and support to our customers. We continue to receive orders for our products, although some shipments of equipment have been temporarily delayed. The global chip shortage and supply chain disruption has caused some delays in equipment orders from our contract manufacturer. As federal, state and local economies begin to returnhave reopened and returns to pre-pandemic levels, and with a vaccine underway the Company expectswe expect demand for charging station usage to increase, however, the Company iswe are unable to predict the extent of such recovery due to the uncertainty of Covid-19. Additionally, other recent macroeconomic events including rising inflation, slowing economic growth, changes in U.S. and foreign government monetary policies, supply chain disruptions, fluctuations in currency exchange rates and the Russian invasion of Ukraine have led to further economic uncertainty. As a result, we are unable to predict the ultimate impact of equipment order delays, chip shortage, the impact of other economic conditions and continuous presence of Covid-19 will have on our business, future results of operations, financial position, or cash flows. The extent to which our operations may be impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic will depend largely on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be accurately predicted, including new information which may emerge concerning the severity of the outbreak and actions by government authorities to contain the outbreak or treat its impact. We intend to continue to monitor the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic and other global economic factors on our business closely. For a further discussion of the risks, uncertainties and actions taken in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, refer to Item 1A “Risk Factors”.

Key Factors Affecting Operating Results

We believe our performance and future success depend on several factors, including those discussed below:

Competition - The EV charging equipment and service market is highly competitive, and we expect the market to become increasingly competitive as new entrants enter this growing market. Our products and services compete on product performance and features, the total cost of ownership, sales capabilities, financial stability, brand recognition, product reliability, and the installed base’s size. Existing competitors may expand their product offerings and sales strategies, and new competitors may enter the market. If our market share decreases due to increased competition, its revenue and ability to generate profits in the future may be impacted.

Growth - Our growth is highly dependent upon the adoption by consumers of EVs, and we are subject to a risk of any reduced demand for EVs. The market for alternative fuel vehicles is relatively new, rapidly evolving, characterized by rapidly changing technologies, price competition, additional competitors, evolving government regulation and industry standards, frequent new vehicle announcements, long development cycles for EV original equipment manufacturers, and changing consumer demands and behaviors. Factors that may influence the purchase and use of alternative fuel vehicles, and specifically EVs, include perceptions about EV quality, safety (in particular with respect to lithium-ion battery packs), design, performance and cost; the limited range over which EVs may be driven on a single battery charge and concerns about running out of power while in use; improvements in the fuel economy of the internal combustion engine; consumers’ desire and ability to purchase a luxury automobile or one that is perceived as exclusive; the environmental consciousness of consumers; volatility in the cost of oil and gasoline; consumers’ perceptions of the dependency of the United States on oil from unstable or hostile countries and the impact of international conflicts; government regulations and economic incentives promoting fuel efficiency and alternate forms of energy; access to charging stations, standardization of EV charging systems and consumers’ perceptions about convenience and cost to charge an EV; and the availability of tax and other governmental incentives to purchase and operate EVs or future regulation requiring increased use of nonpolluting vehicles. If the market for EVs does not gain broad market acceptance or develops slower than we expect, our business, prospects, financial condition and operating results may be adversely affected.

27

Regulations - Our business is subject to a variety of federal, state and international laws and regulations, including those with respect government incentives promoting fuel efficiency and alternate forms of energy, electric vehicles and others. These laws and regulations, and the interpretation or application of these laws and regulations, could change. Any reduction, elimination or discriminatory application of government subsidies and economic incentives because of policy changes, fiscal tightening or other reasons may result in diminished revenues from government sources and diminished demand for our products. In addition, new laws or regulations affecting our business could be enacted. These laws and regulations are frequently costly to comply with and may divert a significant portion of management’s attention. Changes to these applicable laws or regulations could affect business and/or harm our customers, thereby adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Expansion through Acquisitions - We may pursue strategic domestic and international acquisitions to expand our operations. Risks in acquisition transactions include difficulties in the integration of acquired businesses into our operations and control environment, difficulties in assimilating and retaining employees and intermediaries, difficulties in retaining the existing clients of the acquired entities, assumed or unforeseen liabilities that arise in connection with the acquired businesses, the failure of counterparties to satisfy any obligations to indemnify us against liabilities arising from the acquired businesses, and unfavorable market conditions that could negatively impact our growth expectations for the acquired businesses. Fully integrating an acquired company or business into our operations may take a significant amount of time. If we are unable to integrate or pursue strategic acquisitions, our financial condition and results of operations would be negatively impacted.

As of September 30, 2021,2022, we had cash and cash equivalent, working capital and an accumulated deficit of $133,153, $187,169$57,019, $64,442 and $223,496,$305,881, respectively. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021,2022, we had a net loss of $15,321$25,647 and $36,145,$63,411 respectively.

In January 2021, we completed an underwritten registered public offering of 5,660,000 shares of our common stock at a public offering price of $41.00 per share. We received approximately $232,100 in gross proceeds from the public offering, and approximately $221,400 in net proceeds after deducting the underwriting discount and offering expenses paid by us. The public offering was made pursuant to our automatic shelf registration statement on Form S-3 filed with the SEC on January 6, 2021 and prospectus supplement dated January 7, 2021.

We are using the net proceeds from the public offering to supplement our operating cash flows to fund EV charging station deployment and finance the costs of acquiring competitive and complementary businesses, products and technologies as a part of our growth strategy, and for working capital and general corporate purposes.

 

We have not yet achieved profitability and expect to continue to incur cash outflows from operations. It is expected that our operating expenses will continue to increase and, as a result, we will eventually need to generate significant product revenues to achieve profitability. Historically, we have been able to raise funds to support our business operations, although there can be no assurance that we will be successful in raising significant additional funds in the future. We expect that our cash on hand will fund our operations for at least 12 months from the issuance date of the financial statements included in this Quarterly Report.quarterly report.

Since inception, our operations have primarily been funded through proceeds received in equity and debt financings. We believe we have access to capital resources and continue to evaluate additional financing opportunities. There is no assurance that we will be able to obtain funds on commercially acceptable terms, if at all. There is also no assurance that the amount of funds we might raise will enable us to complete our development initiatives or attain profitable operations.

OurOn September 2, 2022, we entered into a Sales Agreement (“Sales Agreement”) with Barclays Capital Inc., BofA Securities, Inc., HSBC Securities (USA) Inc., ThinkEquity LLC, H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC and Roth Capital Partners, LLC (the “Agents”) to conduct an “ATM” equity offering program pursuant to which we may issue and sell from time to time shares of our common stock, par value $0.001 per share, having an aggregate offering price of up to $250,000 through the Agents, as the Company’s sales agents. We currently anticipate using the net proceeds from the sale of our shares of common stock under the ATM program to supplement our operating needs include the planned costs to operate our business, including amounts requiredcash flows to fund EV charging station deployment and our acquisition growth plan. We also plan to use any remaining proceeds we receive for working capital and capital expenditures. Our future capital requirementsother corporate purposes. The amounts and the adequacytiming of our available fundsuse of the net proceeds will depend on manya number of factors, includingsuch as the timing and progress of our ability to successfully commercialize our productsEV charging station deployment efforts, the timing and progress of any partnering and collaboration efforts and technological advances.

As electric vehicle charging requirements and technologies change, driven by federal, state or local regulatory authorities or by electric vehicle manufacturers or other technology or services competing technological and market developments, andproviders for the charging station industry, in particular cellular connectivity technology, the Company may need to enter into collaborations with other companiesupgrade or acquire other companiesadapt its charging station products or introduce new products in order to serve new vehicles, conform to new standards, or adapt new technologies to enhanceserve existing customers or complementnew customers at substantial research, development, and network upgrades costs. During 2021, many cellular technology providers announced they will require the upgrade from 2G/3G connectivity to 4G LTE during 2022 (the “Upgrade”). As of September 30, 2022, the remaining cost for the Upgrade is approximately $870 for certain host owned and Company owned and operated EV charging stations. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company incurred $2,762 related to these upgrades. The Upgrade project is expected to be completed by December 31, 2022.

Contractual Obligations and Commitments

We entered into purchase commitments that include purchase orders and agreements in the normal course of business with contract manufacturers, parts manufacturers, vendors for research and development services and outsourced services. As of September 30, 2022, we had purchase commitments of approximately $55,000, which will become payable upon the suppliers’ delivery of the charging stations, services and other related items. The purchase commitments were made primarily for future sales, deployments of charging stations, inventory management planning and other related items, all of which are expected to be received during the next 12 to 24 months.

Further, the Company has operating and finance lease obligations over the next five years of approximately $3,943. These operating and finance lease obligations are primarily related to corporate office space, warehousing, parking spaces related to our productride-sharing services and service offerings.vehicles.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures must be in conformity with U.S. GAAP. These accounting principles require us to make estimates and judgments that can affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements as well as the reported amounts of revenue and expense during the periods presented. We believe that the estimates and judgments upon which it relieswe rely are reasonably based upon information available to us at the time that it makeswe make these estimates and judgments. To the extent that there are material differences between these estimates and actual results, our financial results will be affected. The accounting policies that reflect our more significant estimates and judgments and which we believe are the most critical to aid in fully understanding and evaluating our reported financial results are described below.

 

The following is not intended to be a comprehensive list of all of our accounting policies or estimates. Our accounting policies are more fully described in Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, in our financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report.quarterly report. For a comprehensive list of our critical accounting estimates, refer to Part II, Item 7, Critical Accounting Estimates in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates since our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Revenue Recognition

We recognize revenue primarily from five different types of contracts:

 

Charging service revenue – company-owned charging stations - Revenue is recognized at the point when a particular charging session is completed.
Product sales – Revenue is recognized at the point where the customer obtains control of the goods and the Company satisfies its performance obligation, which generally is at the time it ships the product to the customer.
Charging service revenue – company-owned charging stations - Revenue is recognized at the point when a particular charging session is completed.
Network fees and other – Represents a stand-ready obligation whereby the Company is obligated to perform over a period of time and, as a result, revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the contract term. Network fees are billed annually.
Ride-sharing services – Primarily related to a ride-sharing services agreement with the City of Los Angeles which allows customers the ability to rent electric vehicles through a subscription service. The Company recognizes revenue over the contractual period of performance of the subscription.
Other Primarily related to charging service revenue from non-company-owned charging stations. Revenue is recognized from non-company-owned charging stations at the point when a particular charging session is completed in accordance with a contractual relationship between the Company and the owner of the station. Other revenues also compriseprimarily comprises of revenues generated from alternative fuel credits.

The timing of the Company’s revenue recognition may differ from the timing of payment by its customers. A receivable is recorded when revenue is recognized prior to payment and the Company has an unconditional right to payment. Alternatively, when payment precedes the provision of the related services, the Company records deferred revenue until the performance obligations are satisfied.

Grants, rebates and alternative fuel credits, which are not within the scope of ASC 606, pertaining to revenues and periodic expenses are recognized as income when the related revenue and/or periodic expense are recorded. Grants and rebates related to EV charging stations and their installation are deferred and amortized in a manner consistent with the related depreciation expense of the related asset over their useful lives over the useful life of the charging station.

 

Stock-Based Compensation

We measure the cost of services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the fair value of the award on the date of grant. The fair value amount of the shares expected to ultimately vest is then recognized over the period for which services are required to be provided in exchange for the award, usually the vesting period. The estimation of stock-based awards that will ultimately vest requires judgment, and to the extent actual results or updated estimates differ from original estimates, such amounts are recorded as a cumulative adjustment in the period that the estimates are revised. We account for forfeitures as they occur.

31

Long-Lived Assets

 

Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. We assess the recoverability of ourits long-lived assets by monitoring current selling prices of car charging units in the open market, the adoption rate of various auto manufacturers in the EV market and projected car charging utilization at various public car charging stations throughout our network in determining fair value. An impairment loss would be recognized when estimated future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition are less than its carrying amount.

35

Income Taxes

We account for income taxes pursuant to the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes pursuant to FASB ASC 740, “Income Taxes.” Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences and operating loss carry forwards. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

 

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.

Operating Leases

 

We determine if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating leases are included in operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and operating lease liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets.

 

ROU assets represent our 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 estimated rate of interest for collateralized borrowing over a similar term of the lease payments at commencement date. The operating lease ROU asset also includes any lease payments made and 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.

 

Goodwill

Goodwill is the excess of consideration paid for an acquired entity over the fair value of the amounts assigned to assets acquired, including other identifiable intangible assets, and liabilities assumed in a business combination. To determine the amount of goodwill resulting from a business combination, the Company performs an assessment to determine the acquisition date fair value of the acquired company’s tangible and identifiable intangible assets and liabilities.

 

Goodwill is required to be evaluated for impairment on an annual basis or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the asset may be impaired. An entity has the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances leads to a determination that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. These qualitative factors include: macroeconomic and industry conditions, cost factors, overall financial performance and other relevant entity-specific events. If the entity determines that this threshold is met, then the Company may apply a one-step quantitative test and record the amount of goodwill impairment as the excess of a reporting unit’s carrying amount over its fair value, not to exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to the reporting unit. The Company determines fair value through multiple valuation techniques and weights the results accordingly. The Company is required to make certain subjective and complex judgments in assessing whether an event of impairment of goodwill has occurred, including assumptions and estimates used to determine the fair value of its reporting units. The Company has elected to perform its annual goodwill impairment review on November 1 of each year.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

For a description of our recently issued accounting standards, see Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in Part 1, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report.Report on Form 10-Q.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements, financings, or other relationships with unconsolidated entities or other persons, also known as “special purpose entities” (SPEs).

ITEM 3.QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

 

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Foreign Currency Risk

We have foreign currency risks related to our revenue and operating expenses denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar, primarily the euro, causing both our revenue and its operating results to be impacted by fluctuations in the exchange rates. Gains or losses from the revaluation of certain cash balances, accounts receivable balances and intercompany balances that are denominated in these currencies impact our net loss. A hypothetical decrease in all foreign currencies against the U.S. dollar of 1% would not requiredresult in a material foreign currency loss on foreign-denominated balances, as of September 30, 2022. As our foreign operations expand, our results may be more materially impacted by fluctuations in the exchange rates of the currencies in which we do business. At this time, we do not enter into financial instruments to provide the information required by this Item because we are a smaller reporting company.hedge our foreign currency exchange risk.

ITEM 4.CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

As of September 30, 2021,2022, being the end of the period covered by this Report, our management conducted an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d15(e)15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).

Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Based on that evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that, as of September 30, 2021,2022, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to the material weaknessesweakness in our internal control over financial reporting as discussed in Item 9A. Controls and Procedures – in the Company’s Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020,2021, under the heading “Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting” and that continued to exist as of September 30, 2021..

However, as part of its ongoing remediation initiative and with the help of an outside firm, management continued to commit substantial resources to documenting and evaluating our internal controls during the quarter:

● Management has reviewed the design, evaluated and operationally tested its internal controls over logical and administrative access to certain IT systems, resources, and facilities or to administer IT applications. Management will continue to monitor its remediation of this previously reported Material Weakness for the remainder of the year.

● Management continued to test the operational effectiveness of (a) the key internal controls forming part of the identified business processes and within the NetSuite accounting system; and (b) the internal controls that have been put in place as part of its remediation initiatives.

Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures

In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and that management is required to apply judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

As part of its ongoing remediation initiative, and with the help of an outside firm, management has reviewed the design of management and analytical review controls associated with the financial close, revenue and inventory processes and has strengthened related compensating controls. In addition, management has validated the operational effectiveness of its remediation of the reported material weakness and found it to be effective. We believe these actions are sufficient to remediate this material weakness. We will continue to test the operational effectiveness of the underlying controls during the fourth quarter of 2022 and come to a final determination in the matter so as to appropriately integrate the outcome in management’s assessment of Internal Controls over Financial reporting as of December 31, 2022.

During the quarter, management continued to commit substantial resources to the ongoing evaluation of the internal control over financial reporting of its previously exempted subsidiary, Blue Corner N.V.

 

Except the above, there were no other changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in management’s evaluation pursuant to Rule 13a-15(d) or 15d15(d) of the Exchange Actthat occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2021,2022, that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

For a description of our legal proceedings, see Note 11 – Commitments and Contingencies – Litigation and Disputes in Part 1, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report.Report on Form 10-Q.

 

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS.

 

In addition to the information set forth under Item 1A of Part I to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020,2021, the information set forth at the beginning of Management’s Discussion and Analysis entitled “Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Information,” and updates noted below, you should consider that there are numerous and varied risks, known and unknown, that may prevent us from achieving our goals. If any of these risks actually occur, our business, financial condition or results of operation may be materially and adversely affected. In such case, the trading price of our common stock could decline and investors could lose all or part of their investment. These risk factors may not identify all risks that we face and our operations could also be affected by factors that are not presently known to us or that we currently consider to be immaterial to our operations.

 

We have a history of substantial net losses and expect losses to continue in the future; if we do not achieve and sustain profitability our financial condition could suffer.

 

We have experienced substantial net losses, and we expect to continue to incur substantial losses for the foreseeable future. We incurred net losses of approximately $15,000$26 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2021.2022 and approximately $63 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. As of September 30, 2021,2022, we had net working capital of approximately $187,000$64 million and an accumulated deficit of approximately $223,000.$306 million. We have not yet achieved profitability.

 

If our revenue grows slower than we anticipate, or if our operating expenses are higher than we expect, we may not be able to achieve profitability and our financial condition could suffer. We can give no assurance that we will ever achieve profitable operations. Even if we achieve profitability in the future, we may not be able to sustain profitability in subsequent periods. Whether we can achieve cash flow levels sufficient to support our operations cannot be accurately predicted. Unless such cash flow levels are achieved, we may need to borrow additional funds or sell our debt or equity securities, or some combination of both, to provide funding for our operations. Such additional funding may not be available on commercially reasonable terms, or at all.

 

OurWe are unable to predict the ultimate impact of continuing equipment order delays, chip shortages and presence of Covid-19 on our business and future results of operations, will be,financial position and cash flows.

The Covid-19 pandemic has impacted global stock markets, economies and businesses. We continue to receive orders for our financial condition may be, impacted byproducts, although some shipments of equipment have been temporarily delayed. The global chip shortage and supply chain disruption has caused some delays in equipment orders from our contract manufacturer. As federal, state, local and foreign economies have reopened and returns to pre-pandemic levels, we expect demand for charging station usage to increase; however, we are unable to predict the ongoingextent of such recovery due to the uncertainty of the possible recurrence or spread of Covid-19 and its variants. Additionally, other recent macroeconomic events including rising inflation, slowing economic growth, changes in U.S. and foreign government monetary policies, supply chain disruptions, fluctuations in currency exchange rates and the Russian invasion of Ukraine have led to further economic uncertainty. As a result, we are unable to predict the ultimate impact of continuing equipment order delays, chip shortages, the impact of other economic conditions and continuous presence of Covid-19 and such impact is uncertain.

The global spread of the novel coronavirus (Covid-19) and multiple Covid-19 variants has created significant volatility, uncertainty and economic disruption. The extent to which the coronavirus pandemic will continue to impacthave on our business operations and financial results is uncertain and will depend on numerous evolving factors that we may not be able to accurately predict, including:

the duration and scope of the pandemic;
governmental, business and individual actions taken in response to the pandemic and the impact of those actions on national and global economic activity;
the actions taken in response to economic disruption;
the impact of business disruptions and reductions in employment levels on our customers and the resulting impact on their demand for our EV charging equipment and related services;
the increase in business failures among businesses that we serve and with which we collaborate;
our customers’ ability to pay for our EV charging equipment and related services;
our ability to provide our EV charging equipment and related services, including as a result of our employees or our customers working remotely and/or closures of offices and facilities; and
disruption in the supply of computer chips and raw materials

Any of these factors could cause or contribute to the risks and uncertainties identified in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 and could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition andfuture results of operations.operations, financial position and cash flows.
