SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | 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: Sunworks United Inc., Commercial Solar Energy, Inc. and Solcius LLC. All material intercompany transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation of these entities. Segment Reporting We currently operate in three segments based upon our organizational structure and the way in which our operations are managed and evaluated. The largest segment is residential operations which are projects smaller in size and shorter in duration. Our second operating segment is commercial operations 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 office that is responsible for general company oversight and management. Separating the corporate costs from the residential and commercial operations simplifies the performance evaluation of the Residential and Commercial 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 revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates include estimates used to review 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, finance lease right-of-use assets and liabilities, 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”) 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 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 commercial 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 months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 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 or cost of at least $100, calculated on a quarterly basis during the periods, were presented. Also included in the table is the net change in estimate as a percentage of the aggregate revenue for such projects. SCHEDULE OF CHANGES IN ESTIMATE AGGREGATE REVENUE Three Months (In thousands, except number of projects) March 31, 2022 March 31, 2021 Increase in revenue from net changes in transaction prices $ 457 $ 9 Increase (decrease) in revenue from net changes in input cost estimates (461 ) 3 Net increase (decrease) in revenue from net changes in estimates $ (4 ) $ 12 Number of projects 3 2 Net change in estimate as a percentage of aggregate revenue for associated projects ( 0.1 )% 0.4 % 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 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, 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: SCHEDULE OF CONTRACT ASSETS AND LIABILITIES As of (In thousands) March 31, 2022 December 31, 2021 Contract Assets $ 16,005 $ 14,498 Contract Liabilities 13,183 12,201 During the quarter ended March 31, 2022, the Company recognized revenue of $ 1,403 1,470 The following table represents the average percentage of completion as of March 31, 2022 for EPC projects that the Company is constructing. The Company expects to recognize $ 16,186 SCHEDULE OF REVENUE RECOGNIZE UPON TRANSFER CONTROL OF PROJECTS Project Revenue Category Expected Years Revenue Recognition Will Be Completed Average Percentage of Revenue Recognized Various Projects EPC services 2022 - 2023 64.3 % 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 stock by the weighted-average number of shares of common 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 stock that would have been outstanding if the potential shares of common stock had been issued and if the additional shares of common stock were dilutive. The shares for employee options, restricted stock, warrants and convertible notes were not used in the calculation of the net loss per share. A net loss causes all outstanding common stock options and unvested restricted stock units (“RSUs”) to be anti-dilutive. As a result, the basic and diluted losses per common share are the same for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. As of March 31, 2022, the potentially dilutive securities that have been excluded from the computations of weighted average shares outstanding include 282,433 stock options and 1,226,430 unvested RSUs. As of March 31, 2021, the potentially dilutive securities that have been excluded from the computations of weighted average shares outstanding include 88,411 stock options and 210,000 unvested RSUs. Dilutive per share amounts are computed using the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding and potentially dilutive securities, using the treasury stock method, if their effect would be dilutive. New Accounting Pronouncements Management reviewed currently issued pronouncements during the three months ended March 31, 2022, and believes that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would not have a material effect on the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements. |
