Background
We are one of the leading design and construction services firms using code-engineered cargo shipping containers for safe and sustainable construction. We offer the construction industry a safer, greener, faster, longer-lasting and more economical alternative to conventional construction methods. We redesign, repurpose and convert heavy-gauge steel cargo shipping containers into SGBlocks™, which are safe green building blocks for commercial, industrial and residential building construction.
We fabricate modules for construction of buildings using either SGBlocks™, which are modified cargo shipping containers for use in construction, or SGPBMs, which are prefabricated steel modular units customized for use in modular construction primarily to augment or complement a SGBlocks™ structure.
When using SGBlocks™, we take existing steel shipping containers and repurpose them into modules that can be stacked, arranged, or configured to fit most structural applications. The use of these repurposed shipping containers allows architects, builders, and owners more design flexibility and greater construction efficiency than traditional methods of construction. SGBlocks™ also have a particular application in meeting safe, affordable and sustainable housing needs, especially in hurricane- and earthquake-prone areas.
When using SGPBMs, we customize an engineered steel structure to meet customer design and specifications, primarily to augment or complement a SGBlocks™ structure.

Revenue
Total revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2019 was $2,463,032 compared to $3,849,325 for the six months ended June 30, 2018. This decrease of $1,386,293 or 36% was mainly driven by a decline in revenue resulting from the Company’s school and special use contracts for the six months ended June 30, 2019 as compared to June 30, 2018. Revenue resulting from the Company's retail and office contracts increased by approximately $1,220,005, which was offset by a decrease in revenue from the Company’s school and special use contracts of $2,489,511.
Cost of Revenue and Gross Profit
Cost of revenue was $1,651,609 for the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to $3,654,155 for the six months ended June 30, 2018. The decrease of $2,002,546 is primarily related to the lower revenues and the lower procurement and manufacturing costs of modifying containers.
Gross profit was $811,423 and $195,170 for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.
Gross profit percentage increased to 33% for the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to 5% for the six months ended June 30, 2018 primarily due to lower margins in the six months ended June 30, 2018 from a legacy contract.
Payroll and Related Expenses
Payroll and related expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2019 were $1,284,177 compared to $978,029 for the six months ended June 30, 2018. This increase was primarily caused by an increase in salaries and additional head count of $109,547 and an increase in stock-based compensation expense of $167,297 recognized during the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2018. We recognized $332,611 in stock-based compensation expense for the six months ended June 30, 2019, compared to $165,314 for the six months ended June 30, 2018.
Other Operating Expenses
Other operating expenses include professional fees, marketing and business development, pre-project and depreciation and amortization expenses. During the six months ended June 30, 2019, other operating expenses were $989,690 compared to $1,209,914 for the six months ended June 30, 2018. The decrease resulted primarily from a decrease in marketing and business development costs of approximately $47,000, a decrease in pre-project expenses of approximately $31,513 and a decrease of approximately $222,600 in amortization expense caused by customer contracts being fully amortized at the end of 2018‚ offset by an increase of approximately $89,000 in legal fees for the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2018.
Other Income (Expense)
For the six months ended June 30, 2019, we recognized no other income compared to $5,768 during the six months ended June 30, 2018.

Revenue
Total revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2019 was $727,908 compared to $2,305,797 for the three months ended June 30, 2018. This decrease of $1,577,889 or 68% was mainly driven by a decline in the Company’s school and special use contracts for the three months ended June 30, 2019 as compared to three months ended June 30, 2018. Revenue resulting from the Company's retail contracts increased by approximately $189,749, which was offset by a decrease in revenue from the Company’s office, school, special use and multi-family contracts of $1,748,296.
Cost of Revenue and Gross Profit
Cost of revenue was $460,590 for the three months ended June 30, 2019 compared to $2,274,225 for the three months ended June 30, 2018. The decrease of $1,813,635 is primarily related to the lower revenues and the lower procurement and manufacturing costs of modifying containers.
Gross profit was $267,318 and $31,572 for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.
Gross profit percentage increased to 37% for the three months ended June 30, 2019 compared to 1% for the three months ended June 30, 2018 primarily due to lower margins in the three months ended June 30, 2018 from a legacy contract.
Payroll and Related Expenses
Payroll and related expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2019 were $645,627 compared to $572,612 for the three months ended June 30, 2018. This increase was primarily caused by an increase in stock-based compensation expense of $84,793 recognized during the three months ended June 30, 2019 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2018. We recognized $170,118 in stock-based compensation expense for the three months ended June 30, 2019, compared to $85,325 for the three months ended June 30, 2018.
Other Operating Expenses
Other operating expenses include professional fees, marketing and business development, pre-project and depreciation and amortization expenses. Other operating expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2019 were $593,400 compared to $697,628 for the three months ended June 30, 2018. The decrease resulted primarily from a decrease in marketing and business development costs of approximately $13,325, a decrease in professional fees related to directors’ fees of $48,125, a decrease in pre-project development expense of $42,480, and a decrease of approximately $111,300 in amortization expense caused by customer contracts being fully amortized at the end of 2018‚ offset by an increase of approximately $116,281 in legal fee expense for the three months ended June 30, 2019 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2018.
Other Income (Expense)
We recognized no other income during the three months ended June 30, 2019 compared to $5,764 during the three months ended June 30, 2018.
Income Tax Provision
A 100% valuation allowance was provided against the deferred tax asset consisting of available net operating loss carryforwards and, accordingly, no income tax benefit was provided.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, we had an aggregate of $173,902 and $1,368,395, respectively, of cash and cash equivalents. Our condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming we will continue as a going concern, which contemplates, among other things, the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.
Historically, our operations have primarily been funded through proceeds from equity and debt financings, as well as revenue from operations. In June and July 2017, we sold 1,725,000 shares of our common stock in a public offering, including an over-allotment option exercised by the underwriters. We received net proceeds of approximately $7,900,000 after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and related expenses. We incurred a total of $1,565,386 in issuance costs in connection with the Public Offering.
In April 2019, we closed a follow-on offering, pursuant to which we sold 847,750 shares of our common stock. In connection with the follow-on offering, we also sold common stock purchase warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 847,750 shares of common stock. Such warrants were sold in a private placement pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) and Rule 506(b) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. We received net proceeds of approximately $552,709 after deducting certain fees due to the placement agent and certain transaction expenses.
In addition, in August 2019, we closed a follow-on offering, pursuant to which we sold 900,000 shares of our common stock. In connection with the follow-on offering, we also sold common stock purchase warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 45,000 shares of common stock. Such warrants were sold in a private placement pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) and Rule 506(b) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. We received net proceeds of approximately $587,000 after deducting certain underwriting discounts and commissions and non-accountable expenses due to the underwriter and certain transaction expenses.
We anticipate that we will continue to generate losses from operations for the foreseeable future. As of June 30, 2019, our stockholders’ equity was $6,618,322, compared to $7,080,067 as of December 31, 2018. Our net loss from operations for the six months ended June 30, 2019 was $1,462,444 and net cash used in operating activities was $1,747,202.
We are attempting to generate sufficient revenues, and may need to secure additional financing sources, such as debt or equity capital, to support our daily operations and fund future growth, which financing may not be available on favorable terms or at all. We currently have a Form S-3 shelf registration statement on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission, under which we currently have limited capacity to issue additional shares. If we issue additional equity securities to raise funds, our existing stockholders may experience further dilution, and the new equity securities may have rights, preferences and privileges senior to those of our existing stockholders. If we issue debt securities to raise additional funds, we may incur debt service obligations, become subject to additional restrictions that limit or restrict our ability to operate our business or be required to encumber our assets. There can be no assurance that we will be able to raise any such capital on terms acceptable to us, if at all. We do not have any additional sources secured for future funding, and if we are unable to raise the necessary capital at the times we require such funding, we may need to materially change our business plan, including delaying implementation of aspects of such business plan or curtailing or abandoning such business plan altogether.
Management believes that the actions presently being taken to further implement its business plan and generate sufficient revenues provide the opportunity for us to continue as a going concern. While we believe in the viability of our strategy to increase revenues and in our ability to raise additional funds, we cannot provide any assurances to that effect. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to further implement our business plan and generate sufficient revenues.
The condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if we are unable to continue as a going concern.
Additionally, as previously announced, on July 1, 2019, we received a letter from the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) that, because the closing bid price for our common stock was below $1.00 for 30 consecutive business days, we no longer met the minimum bid price requirement for continued listing on Nasdaq. In accordance with Nasdaq listing rules, we were granted a 180 calendar day grace period, or until December 30, 2019, to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement. To regain compliance, the closing bid price of our common stock must meet or exceed $1.00 per share for at least ten consecutive business days during this 180-day grace period. We intend to monitor the closing bid price of our common stock and consider our available options in the event that the closing bid price of our common stock remains below $1.00 per share. There can be no assurance that we will be able to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement or maintain compliance with the other listing requirements.

Operating activities used net cash of $1,747,202 in the six months ended June 30, 2019, and $1,876,463 in the six months ended June 30, 2018. Generally, our net operating cash flows fluctuate primarily based on changes in our profitability and working capital. Cash used in operating activities decreased by $129,261, primarily due to a decrease in working capital of $297,702 and a net decrease of $222,070 in amortization, offset by a decrease in net loss of $524,561 and a net increase of $174,047 in stock compensation expense in the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to six months ended June 30, 2019.
Investing activities provided no net cash in the six months ended June 30, 2019, and net cash of $26,253 in the six months ended June 30, 2018 primarily due to an increase in proceeds from short-term investments.
Financing activities provided net cash of $552,709 in the six months ended June 30, 2019, and no net cash in six months ended June 30, 2018. Cash provided by financing activities increased by $552,709 due to an increase in proceeds from the issuance of common stock.
We provide services to our customers in three separate phases: the design phase, the architectural and engineering phase and the construction phase. Each phase is independent of the other, but builds through a progression of concept through delivery of a completed structure. These phases may be embodied in a single contract or in separate contracts, which is typical of a design build process model. As of June 30, 2019, we had nine projects totaling $70,768,733 under contract, which, if they all proceed to construction, will result in our constructing approximately 405,536 square feet of container space. Of these contracts, all nine projects combine all three phases or parts thereof and including construction. We expect that all of this revenue will be realized by June 30, 2022.
Backlog may fluctuate significantly due to the timing of orders or awards for large projects and is not necessarily indicative of future backlog levels or the rate at which backlog will be recognized as revenue. The decrease in backlog at June 30, 2019 from the prior year is primarily attributable to the Company moving a contract of approximately $25,000,000 out of backlog after receiving a cancellation notice from the customer. The Company had work in progress or completed contracts during the first six months of 2019 for approximately $2,463,000.
There can be no assurance that our customers will decide to and/or be able to proceed with these construction projects, or that we will ultimately recognize revenue from these projects in a timely manner or at all.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, we had no material off-balance sheet arrangements to which we are a party.
Critical Accounting Policies
Our condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared using generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”), which require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts. The estimates and assumptions are based on historical experience and on other factors that management believes to be reasonable. Actual results may differ from those estimates. Critical accounting policies represent the areas where more significant judgments and estimates are used in the preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements. A discussion of such critical accounting policies, which include share-based payments, derivative instruments, goodwill, intangible assets and revenue recognition, can be found in our 2018 Form 10-K. There have been no material changes in critical accounting policies from those disclosed in the 2018 Form 10-K.
Non-GAAP Financial Information
In addition to our results under GAAP, we also present EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA for historical periods. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP financial measures and have been presented as supplemental measures of financial performance that are not required by, or presented in accordance with, GAAP. We calculate EBITDA as net income (loss) before interest expense, income tax benefit (expense), depreciation and amortization. We calculate Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA before certain non-recurring adjustments such as stock-based compensation expense.
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are presented because they are important metrics used by management as one of the means by which it assesses our financial performance. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are also frequently used by analysts, investors and other interested parties to evaluate companies in our industry. These measures, when used in conjunction with related GAAP financial measures, provide investors with an additional financial analytical framework that may be useful in assessing us and our results of operations.
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA have certain limitations. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as alternatives to net income (loss), or any other measures of financial performance derived in accordance with GAAP. These measures also should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items for which these non-GAAP measures make adjustments. Additionally, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not intended to be liquidity measures because of certain limitations, including, but not limited to:
| ● | They do not reflect our cash outlays for capital expenditures; |
| ● | They do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, working capital; and |
| ● | Although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets are being depreciated and amortized and may have to be replaced in the future, and these non-GAAP measures do not reflect cash requirements for such replacements. |
Other companies, including other companies in our industry, may not use such measures or may calculate one or more of the measures differently than as presented in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, limiting their usefulness as a comparative measure.
In evaluating EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, you should be aware that in the future we will incur expenses that are the same or similar to some of the adjustments made in our calculations, and our presentation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed to mean that our future results will be unaffected by such adjustment. Management compensates for these limitations by using EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as supplemental financial metrics and in conjunction with our results prepared in accordance with GAAP. The non-GAAP information should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and related notes.
The following is a reconciliation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to the nearest GAAP measure, net loss:

Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Management, with the participation of our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of our “disclosure controls and procedures” (as defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), Rules 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e)) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (the “Evaluation Date”). Based upon that evaluation, our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer concluded that, as of the Evaluation Date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act (i) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms and (ii) is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
The Principal Executive Officer and the Principal Financial Officer believe that the condensed consolidated financial statements and other information contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q present fairly, in all material respects, our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal quarter covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
The information included in "Note 12 - Commitments and Contingencies" of the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q is incorporated by reference into this Item.
There have been no material changes from the risk factors disclosed in “Part I—Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our 2018 Form 10-K, except as follows:
Our failure to meet the continued listing requirements of the Nasdaq Capital Market could result in a delisting of our common stock.
Our common stock is listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market, which imposes, among other requirements, a minimum bid requirement. On July 1, 2019, we received a letter from Nasdaq that, because the closing bid price for our common stock was below $1.00 for 30 consecutive business days, we no longer met the minimum bid price requirement for continued listing on Nasdaq. Under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), we were granted a 180 calendar day grace period, or until December 30, 2019, to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement. To regain compliance, the closing bid price of our common stock must meet or exceed $1.00 per share for at least ten consecutive business days during this 180-day grace period. There can be no assurance that we will be able to regain compliance or that Nasdaq will grant us a further extension of time to regain compliance, if necessary.
The delisting of our common stock from Nasdaq may make it more difficult for us to raise capital on favorable terms in the future, or at all. Such a delisting would likely have a negative effect on the price of our common stock and would impair your ability to sell or purchase our common stock when you wish to do so. Further, if our common stock were to be delisted from the Nasdaq Capital Market, our common stock would cease to be recognized as a covered security, and we would be subject to additional regulation in each state in which we offer our securities. Moreover, there is no assurance that any actions that we take to restore our compliance with the Nasdaq minimum bid requirement would stabilize the market price or improve the liquidity of our common stock, prevent our common stock from falling below the Nasdaq minimum bid price required for continued listing again or prevent future non-compliance with Nasdaq’s listing requirements.
There can be no assurance that we will continue to meet the minimum bid price requirement, or any other requirement in the future. If we fail to meet the minimum bid price requirement, or other applicable Nasdaq listing requirements, including maintaining minimum levels of stockholders’ equity or market values of our common stock, our common stock could be delisted. Delisting from the Nasdaq Capital Market would cause us to pursue eligibility for trading of our common stock on other markets or exchanges, or on an over-the-counter market. In such case, our stockholders’ ability to trade or obtain quotations of the market value of our common stock would be severely limited because of lower trading volumes and transaction delays. These factors could contribute to lower prices and larger spreads in the bid and ask prices of these securities. There can be no assurance that our common stock, if delisted from the Nasdaq Capital Market, would be listed on a national securities exchange, a national quotation service or the over-the-counter markets. Delisting from the Nasdaq Capital Market could also result in negative publicity, make it more difficult for us to raise additional capital, adversely affect the market liquidity of our common stock, decrease securities analysts’ coverage of us or diminish investor, supplier and employee confidence. In addition, our stock could become a “penny stock,” which would make trading of our common stock more difficult.
Our operating results will be subject to fluctuations and are inherently unpredictable.
In order to return to profitability, we will need to generate and sustain higher revenue while maintaining reasonable cost and expense levels. In our most recent quarter we experienced a loss. We do not know if our revenue will grow, or if it will grow sufficiently to outpace our expenses, which we expect to increase as we expand our operational capacity. We may not be able to become profitable on a quarterly or an annual basis. Our quarterly revenue and operating results will be difficult to predict and have in the past fluctuated from quarter to quarter. The amount, timing and mix of project sales, often for a single medium or large-scale project, may cause large fluctuations in our revenue and other financial results. Further, our revenue mix of high margin materials sales versus lower margin projects can fluctuate dramatically quarter to quarter, which may adversely affect our revenue and financial results in any given period. Finally, our ability to meet project completion schedules for an individual project and the corresponding revenue impact under the percentage-of-completion method of recognizing revenue, may similarly cause large fluctuations in our revenue and other financial results. This may cause us to miss any future guidance announced by us.
We base our planned operating expenses in part on our expectations of future revenue, and a significant portion of our expenses are fixed in the short-term. If revenue for a particular quarter is lower than we expect, we likely will be unable to proportionately reduce our operating expenses for that quarter, which would harm our operating results for that quarter. This may cause us to miss any guidance announced by us.
