BASIS OF PRESENTATION | 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION Pioneer Power Solutions, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries (referred to herein as the “Company,” “Pioneer,” “Pioneer Power,” “we,” “our” and “us”) manufacture, sell and service a broad range of specialty electrical transmission, distribution and on-site power generation equipment for applications in the utility, industrial, commercial and backup power markets. The Company is headquartered in Fort Lee, New Jersey and operates from three (3) additional locations in the U.S. for manufacturing, service and maintenance, engineering, sales and administration. NASDAQ Listing On September 24, 2013, the Company completed an underwritten public offering of 1,265,000 shares of its common stock at a gross sales price of $7.00 per share, resulting in net proceeds to the Company of approximately $7.9 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and other offering expenses. In connection with the public offering, the Company’s common stock began trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol PPSI. Segments In determining operating and reportable segments in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 280, Segment Reporting (“ASC 280”), the Company concluded that it has two reportable segments, which are also our operating segments: Transmission & Distribution Solutions (“T&D Solutions”) and Critical Power Solutions (“Critical Power”). Financial information about the Company’s segments is presented in Note 17 - Business Segment, Geographic and Customer Information. Sale of Transformer Business Units On June 28, 2019, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Stock Purchase Agreement”), by and among the Company, Electrogroup Canada, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Electrogroup”), Jefferson Electric, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Jefferson”), JE Mexican Holdings, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“JE Mexico,” and together with Electrogroup and Jefferson, the “Disposed Companies”), Nathan Mazurek (Chief Executive Officer of the Company), Pioneer Transformers L.P. (the “US Buyer”) and Pioneer Acquireco ULC (the “Canadian Buyer,” and together with the US Buyer, the “Buyer”). Pursuant to the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement, the Company agreed to sell (i) all of the issued and outstanding equity interests of Electrogroup to the Canadian Buyer and (ii) all of the issued and outstanding equity interests of Jefferson and JE Mexico to the US Buyer (the “Equity Transaction”), for a purchase price of $68.0 million. Included in the purchase price, the Company received two subordinated promissory notes, issued by the Buyer, in the aggregate principal amount of $5.0 million and $2.5 million, for a total aggregate principal amount of $7.5 million (the “Seller Notes”) . During the fourth quarter of 2019, the Company and the Buyer, pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement, completed the net working capital adjustment, which resulted in the Company paying the Buyer $1.8 million in cash and reducing the principal amount of the $5.0 million Seller Note to $3.2 million. During the second quarter of 2020, the Company recognized an additional reduction to the principal amount of the Seller Note of $194 for a valid claim paid by the Buyer on behalf of the Company. Including the reduction to the principal amount for the valid claim, the Company has revalued the Seller Notes for an appropriate imputed interest rate, resulting in a change to the value of the Seller Notes at December 31, 2020 of $254, for a carrying value of $5.3 million, which is included within other long term assets (see Note 11 - Other Assets). The transaction was consummated on August 16, 2019. Pioneer sold to the Buyer all of the assets and liabilities associated with its liquid-filled transformer and dry-type transformer manufacturing businesses within the Company’s T&D Solutions segment. Pioneer Power retained its switchgear manufacturing business within the T&D Solutions segment, as well as all of the operations associated with its Critical Power segment. For presentation within these statements, the Disposed Companies are being presented as discontinued operations for all periods presented. Presentation The accompanying audited consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared pursuant to the rules of the SEC and reflect the accounts of the Company as of December 31, 2020. Certain information and footnote disclosures, normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”), have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations. We believe that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information presented not misleading to the reader. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to fairly state the financial position, results of operations and cash flows with respect to the audited consolidated financial statements have been included. These audited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Pioneer and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Liquidity The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. As shown in the accompanying financial statements as of the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company had $7.6 million of cash and cash equivalents on hand, and working capital of $8.4 million. The cash on hand was generated primarily from the completion of the Equity Transaction during the year ended December 31, 2019, proceeds from the sale of the CleanSpark Common Stock and warrants to purchase CleanSpark Common Stock, proceeds from insurance and the funding from the Payroll Protection Program recognized during the year ended December 31, 2020. We have historically met our cash needs through a combination of cash flows from operating activities and bank borrowings. Our cash requirements historically were for operating activities, debt repayment and capital improvements. As all outstanding amounts under our credit facilities have been paid in full with the proceeds from the Equity Transaction during the year ended December 31, 2019, and the credit facilities terminated, we expect to meet our cash needs with our working capital and cash flows from our operating activities. We expect our cash requirements to be generally for operating activities and capital improvements. The Company expects that its current cash balance is sufficient to fund operations for the next twelve months. In March 2021, the Company executed a cash collateral security agreement with a commercial bank which required us to pledge cash collateral as security for all unpaid reimbursement obligations owing to the commercial bank for an irrevocable standby letter of credit in the amount of $1.8 million. On January 30, 2020, the World Health Organization (“WHO”) announced a global health emergency because of a new strain of coronavirus originating in Wuhan, China and the risks to the international community as the virus spreads globally beyond its point of origin. In March 2020, the WHO classified the COVID-19 outbreak as a pandemic (the “COVID-19 pandemic”), based on the rapid increase in exposure globally. The full impact of the COVID-19 pandemic continues to evolve as the date of this report. As such, it is uncertain as to the full magnitude that the pandemic will have on the Company’s financial condition, liquidity, and future results of operations. During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company experienced a decline in customer orders for its products and services due to delays caused by the pandemic. Additionally, the Company experienced an impact to productivity as a result of implementing social distancing guidelines and personal protective measures. Management is actively monitoring the global situation on its financial condition, liquidity, operations, suppliers, industry, and workforce. Given the daily evolution of the COVID-19 pandemic and the global responses to contain its spread, the Company is not able to estimate the full effects of the COVID-19 pandemic at this time, however, if the pandemic continues, it may continue to have an adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition, or liquidity. On March 27, 2020, President Trump signed into law the “Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act” (the “Cares Act”). The CARES Act, among other things, appropriates funds for the SBA Paycheck Protection Program loans that are forgivable in certain situations to promote continued employment. On April 13, 2020, after having determined that it met the qualifications for this loan program due to the impact that COVID-19 would have on our financial condition, results of operations, and/or liquidity and applying for relief the Company received funding in the amount of $1.4 million from the SBA Paycheck Protection Program. While the full magnitude of the pandemic’s effect on the Company’s future results of operations is uncertain, the Company has experienced certain declines in service sales and commitments to purchase equipment. The Company made this assertion in good faith based upon all available guidance. The Company used the proceeds from the PPP Loan to retain employees, maintain payroll and make lease, rent and utility payments. Under the terms of the PPP Loan, the Company believes it is eligible for full or partial loan forgiveness and applied for full loan forgiveness during the fourth quarter of 2020. There can be no assurance however that the loan will be forgiven in full or in part. The Company has accounted for the PPP Loan as a debt instrument in accordance with FASB ASC 470, Debt. At December 31, 2020, $633 of principal payments due have been recorded as long-term debt and $780 as current debt in accordance with the enactment of the Paycheck Protection Program Flexibility Act of 2020. The Company does not expect to incur any material interest expense under the PPP Loan. Rounding All dollar amounts (except share and per share data, and with respect to Item 11, Agreements with Executive Officers) presented are stated in thousands of dollars, unless otherwise noted. Amounts may not foot due to rounding. |
