Description of Business |
|
EuroSite Power Inc., pr the Company, we, our or us, distributes, owns and operates clean, on-site energy systems that produce electricity, hot water, heat and cooling in the United Kingdom. The Company’s business model is to own the equipment it installs at customers’ facilities and to sell the energy produced by these systems to the 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 EuroSite Power “On-Site Utility”. |

The Company was incorporated as a Delaware corporation on July 9, 2010 as a subsidiary of American DG Energy Inc., or American DG Energy, to introduce American DG Energy’s business model into the United Kingdom and Europe, although as of March 31, 2015, we operated in the United Kingdom only. |

The Company has experienced total net losses since inception of approximately $7.6 million. For the foreseeable future, the Company expects to experience continuing operating losses and negative cash flows from operations as its management executes its current business plan. The Company believes that its existing resources, including cash and cash equivalents, future cash flow from operations, its ability to control certain costs, including those related to general and administrative expenses, and the use of capital from its parent company, will be 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, the cash requirements will increase. The Company may need to raise additional capital through a debt financing or use capital provided by its parent to meet its operating and capital needs. There can be no assurance, however, that the Company will be successful in these fund-raising efforts or that additional funds will be available on acceptable terms, if at all. |
