AMERICAN DG ENERGY INC.
Note 1. Description of Business and Basis of Presentation
Description of Business
American DG Energy Inc., or the Company, we, our or us, distributes, owns, operates and maintains clean, on-site energy systems that produce electricity, hot water, heat and cooling. The Company's business model is to own the equipment that it installs at customers' facilities and to sell the energy produced by these systems to its customers on a long-term contractual basis at prices guaranteed to the customer to be below conventional utility rates. The Company calls this business the American DG Energy “On-Site Utility”.
The Company has experienced total net losses since inception of approximately $38 million. For the foreseeable future, the Company expects to experience continuing operating losses and negative cash flows from operations as its management executes the current business plan. The Company believes that its existing resources, including cash and cash equivalents and future cash flow from operations, are sufficient to meet the working capital requirements of its existing business for the foreseeable future. However, as the Company continues to grow its business by adding more energy systems, cash requirements will increase, and the Company may need to raise additional capital through debt financings or equity offerings to meet its operating and capital needs. There can be no assurance, however, that the Company will be successful in its fundraising efforts or that additional funds will be available on acceptable terms, if at all. If the Company is unable to raise additional funds in the future it may need to terminate certain employees and adjust its business plans. Financial considerations may cause the Company to modify planned deployment of new energy systems and may decide to suspend installations until it is able to secure additional working capital. The Company will evaluate possible acquisitions of, or investments in, businesses, technologies and products that are complementary to its business; however, the Company is not currently engaged in such discussions.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the six months ended June 30, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2015.
The consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2014 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.
For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in American DG Energy Inc.’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014.
There have been no significant changes in accounting principles, practices or methods for making estimates.
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and entities in which it has a controlling financial interest. Those entities include the Company's 51.0% owned joint venture, American DG New York, LLC, or ADGNY, and its 48.0% owned subsidiary EuroSite Power Inc., or EuroSite Power. The Company has determined EuroSite Power to be a Variable Interest Entity (VIE) and for which the Company has determined it is the primary beneficiary (see Note 9. "Variable Interest Entity”).
The Company’s operations are comprised of one business segment. The Company’s business is selling energy in the form of electricity, heat, hot water and cooling to its customers under long-term sales agreements.

AMERICAN DG ENERGY INC.
Note 2. Loss Per Common Share
The Company computes basic loss per share by dividing net income (loss) for the period by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. The Company computes diluted earnings per common share using the treasury stock method. For purposes of calculating diluted earnings per share, the Company considers its shares issuable in connection with convertible debentures, stock options and warrants to be dilutive common stock equivalents when the exercise price is less than the average market price of its common stock for the period. For the six month period ended June 30, 2015, the Company excluded 15,613,083 potentially dilutive shares, and for the six month period ended June 30, 2014, the Company excluded 12,108,313 potentially dilutive shares because such shares would be anti-dilutive as a result of the reported net loss.
Note 3. Income Taxes
The provision for income taxes in the accompanying unaudited consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 differ from that which would be expected by applying the federal statutory tax rate primarily due to losses for which no benefit is recognized.
Note 4. Warrant Liability
In connection with a subscription agreement that the Company entered into on December 9, 2010, the Company issued warrants for the purchase of 500,000 shares of its common stock. The warrants have an exercise price of $3.25 and are exercisable for five years, commencing six months after the closing of the offering and expire on December 14, 2015.
The warrants contain both a right to obtain stock upon exercise, or a Call, and a right to settle the warrants for cash upon the occurrence of certain events, or a Put. Generally, the Put provisions allow the warrant holders liquidity protection; the right to receive cash equal to the value of the remaining unexercised portion of the warrants in certain situations where the holders would not have a means of readily selling the shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants (e.g., where there would no longer be a significant public market for the Company’s common stock). Specifically, the Put rights would be triggered upon the occurrence of a Fundamental Transaction as defined in the agreement. Pursuant to the agreement, in the case of a Fundamental Transaction the warrant holders would receive a cash settlement in an amount equal to the value of obtained by using the Black Scholes Option Pricing Model obtained from the “OV” function on Bloomberg L.P. using (i) a price per share of Common Stock equal to the Volume-Weighted Average Price of the Common Stock for the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of consummation of the applicable Fundamental Transaction, (ii) a risk-free interest rate corresponding to the U.S. Treasury rate for a period equal to the remaining term of this Warrant as of the date of consummation of the applicable Fundamental Transaction and (iii) an expected volatility equal to the lesser of (1) the thirty (30) day volatility obtained from the “HVT” function on Bloomberg L.P. determined as of the end of the Trading Day immediately following the public announcement of the applicable Fundamental Transaction or (2) 70%. These warrants are classified as liabilities pursuant to the FASB guidance contained in ASC 480. Changes in the fair value of the warrant liabilities are recorded in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations (see Note 5. "Fair Value Measurements").
Note 5. Fair Value Measurements
The fair value topic of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The accounting guidance also establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs, where available, and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. There are three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
Level 1 - Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. The Company currently does not have any Level 1 financial assets or liabilities.
Level 2 - Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1. Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in non-active markets, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets and inputs other than
8
AMERICAN DG ENERGY INC.
quoted prices that are observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability. The Company considers its convertible debentures a level 2 liability and believes that its carrying value approximates fair value.
Level 3 - Unobservable inputs reflecting management’s own assumptions about the input used in pricing the asset or liability.
As of June 30, 2015, the Company has classified the warrants with Put and Call rights as Level 3 (see Note 4. "Warrant Liability”). The Company estimated the fair value of the warrants using a Black-Scholes option pricing model under various probability-weighted outcomes which take into consideration the protective, but limited, cash-settlement feature of the warrants. At issuance, the following average assumptions were assigned to the varying outcomes: expected volatility of 57.0%, risk free interest rate of 2.08%, expected life of five years and no dividends. The Company estimated the fair value of the warrants at June 30, 2015 using this same model with the following average assumptions assigned to the varying outcomes: expected volatility of 82.7%, risk free interest rates of 1.52%, expected lives of 0.71 years and no dividends. As of June 30, 2015, the financial liabilities held by the Company in other current liabilities and measured at fair value on a recurring basis (which consist solely of the warrant liability) were $301. The following table summarizes the warrant liability activity for the period:
Warrant Liability | |||
Fair value at December 31, 2014 | $ | 6,780 | |
Fair value adjustment year-to-date | (6,479 | ) | |
Fair value at June 30, 2015 | $ | 301 |
In connection with the recognizing the distribution of energy systems to the noncontrolling interest in ADGNY (see Note 6. "Stockholders' Equity"), the Company utilized Level 3 category fair value measurements. Those measurements employed the use of discounted cash flow analysis to determine the fair value of those energy systems. The estimated expected cash flows were discounted at a rate of 12% per annum.
Note 6. Stockholders’ Equity
On January 29, 2015, the Company entered into an exchange agreement, (or the "Exchange Agreement"), with IN Holdings Corp., a holder of more than 5% percent of the Company’s common stock, (or "IN Holdings"). In connection with the Exchange Agreement, IN Holdings transferred to the Company 1,320,000 shares of the Company’s common stock that it owned, and in exchange, the Company transferred to IN Holdings 1,320,000 shares of the common stock of EuroSite Power Inc. that it owned. The exchange was accounted for as an acquisition and retirement of treasury shares and a disposal of partial ownership of a consolidated subsidiary. As the Company retained a controlling financial interest following the exchange, no gain or loss was recognized on the disposal in accordance with ASC 810-10-45-23. In accordance with ASC 845-10-05-4, nonmonetary transactions, the fair value of the shares surrendered by the Company in the exchange were used to value the exchange.
On September 19, 2014, the Board of Directors of the Company approved a common stock repurchase program that shall not exceed 1,000,000 shares of common stock and shall not exceed $1,100,000 of cost. The approval allows for purchases over a 24-month period at prices not to exceed $1.30 per share. During the first six months of 2015, the Company repurchased 226,231 shares of common stock at an average price of $0.54. See Part II, Item 2, "Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds", for further details.
During the second quarter of 2015, the Company entered into an agreement with the noncontrolling interest joint venture partner in ADGNY, whereby, in exchange for $100,000 cash and 100,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, the noncontrolling interest partner relinquished certain economic interests in certain energy system projects in the joint venture sites owned and operated by ADGNY; and ownership of certain energy system projects owned by ADGNY was transferred to the Company; and ownership of certain energy system projects owned by ADGNY was transferred to the noncontrolling interest joint venture partner. Additionally, the interests in underlying energy system projects remaining in the joint venture following the transfers of ownership of those energy system projects described in the preceding sentence, were adjusted to 51% and 49% for the Company and the noncontrolling interest joint venture partner in ADGNY, respectively.
9
AMERICAN DG ENERGY INC.
Following the foregoing series of transactions, the Company retained a controlling 51% legal interest and had a 51% economic interest in ADGNY.
The relinquishment by the noncontrolling interest partner of certain economic interests in certain energy system projects in the joint venture sites owned and operated by ADGNY for the benefit of the Company and the adjustment of the respective interests in underlying energy system projects remaining in the joint venture were treated as changes in the Company’s ownership interest in ADGNY while the Company retained a controlling financial interest, and accordingly, were accounted for as equity transactions in accordance with ASC 810-10-45-23.
The transfer of ownership of certain energy system projects owned by ADGNY to the noncontrolling interest joint venture partner was treated as a dividend of nonmonetary assets and was recognized at the fair value of the energy systems transferred in accordance with ASC 845-10-30-1, with a gain of $157,870 recognized in interest and other income, which is attributed entirely to the noncontrolling interest in the accompanying financial statements.
Note 7. Related Parties
EuroSite Power, Tecogen, Ilios Inc., or Ilios are affiliated companies by virtue of common ownership.
The Company purchases the majority of its cogeneration units from Tecogen, an affiliate company sharing similar ownership. In addition, Tecogen pays certain operating expenses, including benefits and payroll, on behalf of the Company and the Company leases office space from Tecogen. The Company's lease with Tecogen expires on July 31, 2016. These costs were reimbursed by the Company. As of June 30, 2015, the Company owed Tecogen $1,003,750 and Tecogen owed the Company $27,097.
During the first quarter of 2015, Eurosite Power repaid $1,000,000 of a related party $3,000,000 note payable in accordance with the terms of the note as amended, or the Note. According to the terms of the Note, the Note becomes due on demand in the event EuroSite successfully completes a substantial capital raise. EuroSite successfully completed a substantial capital raise in November of 2014. As such, the Note is currently due and is now classified as a short-term liability.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Forward-Looking Statements
Forward-looking statements are made throughout this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. Any statements contained herein that are not statements of historical fact may be deemed to be forward-looking statements. Without limiting the foregoing, the words “believes,” “anticipates,” “plans,” “expects,” “seeks,” “estimates” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements include, among other things, statements regarding our current and future cash requirements, our expectations regarding suppliers of cogeneration units, and statements regarding potential financing activities in the future. While the Company may elect to update forward-looking statements in the future, it specifically disclaims any obligation to do so, even if the Company’s estimates change, and readers should not rely on those forward-looking statements as representing the Company’s views as of any date subsequent to the date of the filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, or this Quarterly Report. There are a number of important factors that could cause the actual results of the Company to differ materially from those indicated by such forward-looking statements, including those detailed under the heading “Risk Factors” in this Quarterly Report.
Overview
The Company distributes and operates on-site cogeneration systems that produce both electricity and heat. The Company’s primary business is to own the equipment that it installs at customers’ facilities and to sell the energy produced by these systems to its customers on a long-term contractual basis. The Company calls this business the American DG Energy “On-Site Utility”.
The majority of our heating system sales are in the winter and the majority of our chilling systems sales are in the summer.
The profitability of our business model is highly dependent on the functionality of our energy equipment, the price of electricity, the demand for electricity, and to a lesser extent, the price of natural gas. Generally, increase in demand for electricity tends to cause prices to rise. Higher electricity prices increase the Company’s revenue and liquidity. Lower natural gas prices decrease operational cost. To mitigate the risk of low electrical rates, the Company pursues energy system projects in areas with higher electrical rates.

Result of Operation
Second Quarter 2015 Compared to Second Quarter 2014.
Revenues
Revenues in the second quarter of 2015 were $2,087,127 compared to $2,071,222 for the same period in 2014, a increase of $15,905 or 0.8%. The main reason for the increase is more revenue at EuroSite Power in the UK, partially offset by lower turnkey revenues. On-Site Utility energy revenue in the second quarter of 2015 was $1,871,110 compared to $1,752,517 for the same period in 2014, an increase of $118,593 or 6.8%. During the second quarter of 2015, in addition to our On-Site Utility energy revenue, the Company performed billable services and recorded revenue primarily from the sale of energy equipment and energy feasibility studies. The revenue from our turnkey projects can vary substantially from period to period. While the Company accepts turnkey installation projects, they are not considered our core business. Our turnkey and other revenue in the second quarter of 2015 decreased to $216,017 compared to $318,705 for the same period in 2014, a decrease of $102,688 or 32.2%.
During the second quarter of 2015, the Company operated 119 energy systems, representing 8,096 kWh of installed electricity potential, compared to 122 energy systems, representing 8,058 kWh of installed electricity potential for the same period in 2014. The revenue per customer on a monthly basis is based on the sum of the amount of energy produced by the Company’s energy systems and the published price of energy (electricity, natural gas or oil) from its customers’ local energy utility that month, less the discounts the Company provides its customers. The Company’s revenues commence as new energy systems become operational.
Cost of Sales
Cost of sales, including depreciation, in the second quarter of 2015 was $1,887,342 compared to $1,897,902 for the same period in 2014, a decrease of $10,560 or 0.6%. The decrease in cost of sales is principally due to lower fuel, maintenance and installation costs, partially offset by higher depreciation expense. The cost of fuel, maintenance and installation was $1,367,484 in the second quarter of 2015, compared to $1,485,589 for the same period in 2014, a decrease of $118,105 or 8.0%. Depreciation expense was $519,858 in the second quarter of 2015, compared to $412,313 for the same period in 2014, an increase of $107,545.
During the second quarter of 2015, our gross margins were 9.6% compared to 8.4% for the same period in 2014, principally due to a decrease in fuel, maintenance and installation costs. Our On-Site Utility energy margins, excluding depreciation, were 32.6% in the second quarter of 2015, compared to 30.6% for the same period in 2014.
Operating Expenses
Our general and administrative expenses consist of executive staff, accounting and legal expenses, office space, general insurance and other administrative expenses. Our general and administrative expenses in the second quarter of 2015 were $645,367 compared to $775,998 for the same period in 2014, a decrease of $130,631 or 16.8%. The decrease was primarily due to lower salary costs which was partially offset by higher stock compensation expense.
Our selling expenses consist of sales staff, commissions, marketing, travel and other selling related expenses including provisions for bad debt write-offs. The Company sells energy using both direct sales and commissioned agents. Our marketing efforts consisted of internet marketing, print literature, media relations and event-driven direct mail. Our selling expenses in the second quarter of 2015 were $308,428 compared to $247,358 for the same period in 2014, an increase of $61,070 or 24.7%. The increase in expense was primarily due to severance expense.
Our engineering expenses consisted of technical staff and other engineering related expenses. The role of engineering is to evaluate potential customer sites based on technical and economic feasibility, manage the installed base of energy systems and oversee each new installation project. Our engineering expenses in the second quarter of 2015 were $215,077 compared to $198,677 for the same period in 2014, an increase of $16,400 or 8.3%. The increase was primarily due to higher payroll expense.
Loss from Operations
14
AMERICAN DG ENERGY INC.
The loss from operations in the second quarter of 2015 was $969,087 compared to a loss of $1,048,713 for the same period in 2014, a decrease of $79,626 or 7.6%. The decrease in the operating loss was primarily due to higher gross margin of $26,465 and lower operating expenses by $53,161. Our non-cash compensation expense related to outstanding restricted stock and option awards to our employees was $130,430 in the second quarter of 2015, compared to $69,849 for the same period in 2014.
Other Income (Expense), Net
Our other expense, net, in the second quarter of 2015 was an expense of $149,402 compared to an expense of $314,355 for the same period in 2014, a decrease of $164,953. Other expense, net, includes interest and other income, gain attributable to the distribution of nonmonetary assets to noncontrolling interest, interest expense and the change in fair value of warrant liability. Interest expense was $317,650 in the second quarter of 2015 compared to $378,820 for the same period in 2014, a decrease of $61,170, which is primarily due to more premiums from the exchange of convertible debt that offset interest expense in the second quarter of 2015 compared to the same period in 2014. A gain attributable to the distribution of nonmonetary assets to noncontrolling interest of $157,870 was recognized in the second quarter of 2015. The change in fair value of warrant liability for the period ending June 30, 2015 resulted in a gain of $81 compared to $57,101 for the same period in 2014. The gain is small due to the relatively short time remaining in the life of the warrants.
Benefit (Provision) for Income Taxes
Our benefit for taxes in the second quarter of 2015 was $2,187 compared to an expense of $2,940 for the same period in 2014.
Noncontrolling Interest
The noncontrolling interest in the profits or losses in American DG New York, LLC, or ADGNY, and EuroSite Power was an increase in net loss of $59,759 in the second quarter of 2015 compared to a reduction in net loss of $89,856 for the same period in 2014. This difference is primarily due to the assignment of the full $157,870 gain attributable to the distribution of nonmonetary assets of ADGNY to noncontrolling interest.

First Six Months of 2015 Compared to First Six Months of 2014
Revenues
Revenues in the first six months of 2015 were $4,594,867 compared to $4,599,022 for the same period in 2014, a decrease of $4,155 or 0.1%. The decrease in revenues was primarily due to decreased turnkey revenues, mostly offset by higher EuroSite Power revenue in the UK for the first six months of 2015 compared to the same period in 2014. Our On-Site Utility energy revenue in the first six months of 2015 was $4,261,457 compared to $4,148,798 for the same period in 2014, an increase of $112,659. During the first six months of 2015, the Company performed billable services and recorded revenue from the maintenance of energy systems and from the sale of equipment. The revenue from our turnkey projects can vary substantially per period. While the Company accepts turnkey installation projects, they are not considered our core business. Our turnkey and other revenue in the first six months of 2015 decreased to $333,410 compared to $450,224 for the same period in 2014, a decrease of $116,814 or 25.9%.
During the first six months of 2015, the Company operated 119 energy systems representing 8,096 kW of installed electricity plus thermal energy, compared to 122 energy systems representing 8,058 kW of installed electricity plus thermal energy for the same period in 2014. The revenue per customer on a monthly basis is based on the sum of the amount of energy produced by the Company’s energy systems and the published price of energy (electricity, natural gas or oil) from its customers’ local energy utility that month, less the discounts the Company provides its customers. The Company’s revenues commence as new energy systems become operational.
Cost of Sales
Cost of sales, including depreciation, in the first six months of 2015 were $4,123,452 compared to $4,087,112 for the same period in 2014.

The cost of fuel, maintenance and installation was $3,095,137 in the first six months of 2015, compared to $3,193,235 for the same period in 2014, a decrease of $98,098 or 3.1%, primarily due to lower project management expenses and less installation of spare parts.
During the first six months of 2015, our gross margins were 10.3% compared to 11.1% for the same period in 2014, primarily due to an increase in our depreciation expense, partially offset by lower fuel, maintenance and installation expenses. Our On-Site Utility energy margins excluding depreciation were at 31.0% in the first six months of 2015, compared to 30.5% for the same period in 2014. During the third quarter of 2014, management initiated a formal optimization program to increase site operating hours and to increase overall site efficiency.
Operating Expenses
Our general and administrative expenses consist of executive staff, accounting and legal expenses, office space, general insurance and other administrative expenses. Our general and administrative expenses in the first six months of 2015 were $1,506,429 compared to $1,549,958 for the same period in 2014, a decrease of $43,529 or 2.8%. This decrease was primarily due to lower salary and lower accounting consulting expenses, partially offset by higher stock compensation expense.
Our selling expenses consist of sales staff, commissions, marketing, travel and other selling related expenses including provisions for bad debt write-offs. The Company sells energy using both direct sales and commissioned agents. Our marketing efforts consisted of internet marketing, print literature, media relations and event driven direct mail.

The increase was primarily due to 2015 severance expense.
Our engineering expenses consisted of technical staff and other engineering related expenses. The role of engineering is to evaluate potential customer sites based on technical and economic feasibility, manage the installed base of energy systems and oversee each new installation project. Our engineering expenses in the first six months of 2015 were $385,447 compared to $462,448 for the same period in 2014, a decrease of $77,001. The decrease was primarily due to lower consulting, travel, and engineering supplies.
Loss from Operations
The loss from operations in the first six months of 2015 was $2,069,582 compared to loss $2,008,970 for the same period in 2014, an increase of $60,612, or 3.0%. The increase in the operating loss was primarily due to $40,495 of lower
16
AMERICAN DG ENERGY INC.
gross margins and higher operating costs by $20,117. Our non-cash compensation expense related to outstanding restricted stock and option awards to our employees was $280,889 in the first six months of 2015, compared to $208,477 for the same period in 2014.

Other expense, net, includes interest and other income, gain attributable to the distribution of nonmonetary assets to noncontrolling interest, interest expense, loss on extinguishment of debt and change in fair value of warrant liability. Interest and other income was $186,433 in the first six months of 2015 compared to $22,348 for the same period in 2014, an increase of $164,085. The increase was primarily due to a $157,870 gain attributable to the distribution of nonmonetary assets to noncontrolling interest recognized in the second quarter of 2015. Interest expense was $630,106 in the first six months of 2015 compared to $733,323 for the same period in 2014, an decrease of $103,217, or 14.1%. The lower interest expense is due to less convertible debentures paying interest in the first six months of 2015 as compared to the same period of 2014. We also took a non-cash charge of $533,177 in the fist six months of 2014 for the extinguishment of old EuroSite Power convertible debt exchanged for new EuroSite Power convertible debt. In the first six months of 2015, the change in fair value of warrant liability resulted in a gain of $6,479 compared to a loss of $9,012 for the same period in 2014 (see “Note 4 – Warrant liability”).

This difference is primarily due to the assignment of the full $157,870 gain attributable to the distribution of nonmonetary assets of ADGNY to noncontrolling interest.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Consolidated working capital at June 30, 2015 was $6,842,208, compared to $13,303,032 at December 31, 2014. Included in working capital were cash and cash equivalents of $8,172,481 at June 30, 2015, compared to $11,825,915 at December 31, 2014. The decrease in working capital was primarily the result of the change of the classification of $2,000,000 of a note payable to a related party from long-term to current liabilities and the purchases and installation of energy systems in the amount of $2,295,568.
Cash provided by operating activities was $26,226 in the first six months of 2015 compared to cash used of $593,159 in the same period in 2014. For the first six months of 2015, net loss was $2,388,495. This net loss was offset by $1,052,173 of depreciation and amortization, $582,348 of non-cash interest and $280,889 of stock-based compensation expense. In addition, our short and long-term receivables balance, including unbilled revenue and allowances for bad debts, decreased to $1,076,963 in the first six months of 2015 compared to $1,156,944 at December 31, 2014, providing $79,981 of cash.

A decrease in our prepaid and other current assets provided $322,700 in cash primarily due to the collection of UK energy tax incentives.
Accounts payable decreased to $551,280 in the first six months of 2015, compared to $605,530 at December 31, 2014, requiring $54,250 of cash. Our accrued expenses and other current liabilities increased to $492,446 at June 30, 2015 compared to $485,570 at December 31, 2014, generating $13,537 of cash. The amount due to related parties increased to $1,003,750 in the first six months of 2015, compared to $630,805 at December 31, 2014, providing $372,945 of cash.
