Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared by the Company in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information, and pursuant to the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statement presentation. However, the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting primarily of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2024. The unaudited interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, filed with the SEC on March 28, 2024 (the “Annual Report”). Unless otherwise noted, all references to shares and per share amounts for all periods presented in the accompanying unaudited financial statements and notes thereto have been adjusted retrospectively, to reflect a 1-for-100 reverse stock split , which was effective at 5:00 p.m. Pacific Time on October 8, 2024. See Note 13 – “Subsequent Events” in this Quarterly Report for additional information about the Reverse Stock Split (as defined in Note 13 below). Reclassification of Prior Year Presentation Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified for consistency with current year presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on the reported results of operations. Going Concern, Liquidity and Capital Resources The Company’s activities are subject to significant risks and uncertainties, including failing to secure additional funding before the Company achieves sustainable revenue and profit from operations. The Company expects to continue to incur additional losses for the foreseeable future, and the Company may need to raise additional debt or equity financing to expand its presence in the marketplace, develop new products, achieve operating efficiencies, and accomplish its long-term business plan over the next several years. There can be no assurance as to the availability or terms upon which such financing and capital might be available. As presented in the accompanying financial statements, the Company has sustained recurring losses and negative cash flows from operations. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within 12 months after the date that the financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 are issued. However, management is working to address its cash flow challenges, including raising additional capital. Historically, the Company’s growth has been funded through a combination of sales of equity interests, third-party debt, and working capital loans. The Company’s sales for the three months ended September 30, 2024 decreased 26.5% and sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 decreased 29.0% compared to the same period in 2023, as the overall RV market experienced a severe slowdown. Through September 30, 2024, the Company distributed $4 for the settlement of fractional shares related to warrant exercises compared to receiving net proceeds of $49,777 from warrant exercises during the same period in 2023. On August 8, 2024, the Company sold in a public offering (the “August 2024 Public Offering”), (i) 33,402,000 common units (the “Common Units”), each consisting of one share of common stock, two Series A warrants each to purchase one share of common stock (pre-Reverse Stock Split and pre-Adjustment, and each, a “Series A Warrant”) and one Series B warrant to purchase such number of shares of common stock as determined in the Series B warrant (each, a “Series B Warrant”), and (ii) 16,598,000 pre-funded units (the “Pre-Funded Units,” and together with the Common Units, the “Units”), each consisting of one pre-funded warrant to purchase one share of common stock (each, a “Pre-Funded Warrant”), two Series A Warrants, and one Series B Warrant, through Aegis Capital Corp. (the “Underwriter”). In addition, the Company granted the Underwriter a 45-day option to purchase additional shares of common stock and/or Pre-Funded Warrants and/or Series A Warrants and/or Series B Warrants, representing up to 15% of the number of the respective securities sold in the August 2024 Public Offering, solely to cover over-allotments, if any. The Underwriter partially exercised its over-allotment option with respect to 15,000,000 Series A Warrants and 7,500,000 Series B Warrants (pre-Reverse Stock Split). The Common Units were sold at a price of $ 0.20 per unit and the Pre-Funded Warrants were sold at a price of $ 0.199 per unit (pre-Reverse Stock Split). The Pre-Funded Warrants were immediately exercisable at an exercise price of $ 0.001 per share (pre-Reverse Stock Split ) and could be exercised at any time until all Pre-Funded Warrants are exercised in full. As of September 30, 2024, all Pre-Funded Warrants have been exercised. On February 9, 2024, a registration statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-276663) was declared effective for the resale, from time to time, of up to 17,820 shares of the Company’s common stock by a selling stockholder in connection with an equity line of credit financing. During the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company sold 0 shares of common stock to the stockholder under the equity line of credit and received proceeds of $0. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company sold 4,336 shares of common stock to the stockholder under the equity line of credit and received proceeds of $828,491 compared to $0 in the same prior year period. In addition, during the three months ended September 30, 2024, the Company issued 154 shares of common stock to satisfy interest payments to a note holder in connection with a short-term convertible note, totaling $15,028, and also made cash payments totaling $19,331 for monthly interest as well as $100,375 interest due at loan payoff. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company issued 415 shares of common stock to satisfy interest payments to a note holder in connection with a short-term convertible note, totaling $90,839 and issued 79 shares of common stock for payment on accrued compensation totaling $36,029, compared to zero shares issued during the same prior year period. Management believes that these factors will contribute to achieving operating efficiency and profitability. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in achieving its objectives, including achieving operating efficiency and profitability. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business; however, the above conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to do so. The financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. Use of Estimates The preparation of the Company’s financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Management bases these estimates and assumptions upon historical experience, existing and known circumstances, authoritative accounting pronouncements, and other factors that management believes to be reasonable. In addition, the Company has considered the potential impact of macroeconomic factors, including inflation, changes in tariffs, changes in interest rates, changes in commodity pricing, and recessionary concerns on its business and operations. Although the full impact of these factors is unknown and cannot be reasonably estimated, the Company believes it has made appropriate accounting estimates and assumptions based on the facts and circumstances available as of the reporting date. However, actual results could vary materially from the estimates and assumptions that were used, which may result in material effects on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, and liquidity. The Company’s significant accounting estimates include the carrying value of accounts receivable and inventory, the depreciable lives of fixed assets, and stock-based compensation. To the extent there are differences between these estimates and actual results, the Company’s financial statements may be materially affected. Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company considers all cash amounts which are not subject to withdrawal restrictions or penalties and all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less from the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. The Company maintains its cash balances with high-quality financial institutions located in the United States. Cash accounts are secured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) up to $250,000 per institution. At times, balances may exceed federally insured limits. Investment accounts are placed in funds consisting of US Treasury-related ultra-short paper. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and management believes that the Company is not exposed to any significant credit risk with respect to its cash and cash equivalents. As of September 30, 2024, cash balances exceeded FDIC limits by $787,702 and investment accounts totaling $1,885,804 are invested in US Treasury related ultra-short paper. Accounts Receivable Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount, are due within a year or less, and generally do not bear any interest. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and generally requires no collateral. An allowance for uncollectible accounts is recorded to reduce accounts receivable to the estimated amount that will be collected. The allowance is based upon management’s review of the accounts receivable aging and specific identification of potentially uncollectible balances. Recoveries of accounts previously written off and adjustments to the allowance for uncollectible accounts are recorded as adjustments to bad debt expense. For the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company wrote off $0 and $388 to bad debt expense. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company collected $0 and $412 of bad debt that had been written off previously. There was no allowance for doubtful accounts as of September 30, 2024 or December 31, 2023, as management believed all outstanding amounts to be fully collectible. Customer Deposits As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had customer deposits totaling $ 41,249 and $ 17,423 , respectively. Inventory Inventory is stated at the lower of cost (first in, first out) or net realizable value and consists of batteries and accessories, resale items, components, and related landing costs. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had inventory that consisted of finished assemblies totaling $2,224,102 and $2,967,021, respectively, and raw materials (inventory components, parts, and packaging) totaling $1,141,190 and $858,369, respectively. The valuation of inventory includes fixed production overhead costs based on normal capacity of the assembly warehouse. The Company periodically reviews its inventory for evidence of slow-moving or obsolete inventory and provides for an allowance when considered necessary. The Company determined that no such reserve was necessary as of September 30, 2024 or December 31, 2023. The Company prepays for inventory purchases from foreign suppliers. Prepaid inventory totaled $ 1,361,990 and $ 163,948 as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, and included inventory in transit where title had passed to the Company but had not yet been physically received. Vendor and Foreign Concentrations of Inventory Suppliers During the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, approximately 80% and 61%, respectively, of inventory purchases were made from foreign suppliers in Asia. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, approximately 79% and 71%, respectively, of inventory purchases were made from foreign suppliers in Asia. Any adverse change in either the economic or political conditions abroad could negatively impact the Company’s supply chain. The inability to obtain product to meet sales demand could adversely affect results of operations. However, the Company has secured a secondary source for lithium iron phosphate cells used in its batteries from a supplier in Europe, enabling the Company to source materials outside of Asia in the event it becomes necessary to do so. Property and Equipment Property and equipment are stated at cost less depreciation calculated on the straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the related assets as follows: Schedule of estimated useful lives Vehicles and transportation equipment 5 - 7 years Manufacturing equipment 3 - 10 years Office furniture and equipment 3 - 7 years Warehouse equipment 3 - 10 years QA equipment 3 - 10 years Tooling and molds 3 - 10 years Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the lease term or their estimated useful lives. Betterments, renewals, and extraordinary repairs that extend the lives of the assets are capitalized; other repairs and maintenance charges are expensed as incurred. The cost and related accumulated depreciation and amortization applicable to assets retired are removed from the accounts, and the gain or loss on disposition is recognized in the Statements of Operations. Leases The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset during the lease term, and operating lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating leases are included in ROU assets, current operating lease liabilities, and long-term operating lease liabilities on the Company’s Balance Sheets. The Company does not have any finance leases. Lease ROU assets and lease liabilities are initially recognized based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term at commencement date calculated using the Company’s incremental borrowing rate applicable to the lease asset, unless the implicit rate is readily determinable. ROU assets also include any lease payments made at or before lease commencement and exclude any lease incentives received. The Company’s lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. Leases with a term of 12 months or less are not recognized on the Company’s Balance Sheet. The Company’s leases do not contain any residual value guarantees. Lease expense for minimum lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company accounts for lease and non-lease components as a single lease component for all its leases. Impairment of Long-Lived Assets Long-lived assets consist primarily of property and equipment. When events or circumstances indicate the carrying value of a long-lived asset may be impaired, the Company estimates the future undiscounted cash flows to be derived from the use and eventual disposition of the asset to assess whether or not a potential impairment exists. If the carrying value exceeds the estimate of future undiscounted cash flows, the impairment is calculated as the excess of the carrying value of the asset over the estimate of its fair value. Fair value is determined primarily using the estimated cash flows discounted at a rate commensurate with the risk involved. No long-lived asset impairment was recognized during the three or nine months ended September 30, 2024 or 2023. Product Warranties The Company sells the majority of its products to customers along with conditional repair or replacement warranties. The Company’s branded DC mobile chargers are warrantied for two years from the date of sale and its branded VPR 4EVER Classic and Platinum batteries are warrantied at gradually lesser levels over a 12-year period from date of sale. The Company determines its estimated liability for warranty claims based on the Company’s experience of the amount of claims actually made. Management estimates no liability as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 because, historically, there have been very few claims and costs for repairs or replacement parts have been nominal. It is possible that the Company’s estimate of liability for product liability claims will change in the near term. Liability for Refunds The Company does not have a formal return policy but does accept returns under its warranty policies. Returns have historically been minimal. No refund liability was recognized as of September 30, 2024 or December 31, 2023. Revenue is recorded net of this amount. Any returns of discontinued product are not added back to inventory and therefore related costs are nominal and not recorded as an asset. Revenue Recognition The Company’s revenue is generated from the sale of products consisting primarily of batteries and accessories. The Company recognizes revenue when control of goods or services is transferred to its customers in an amount that reflects the consideration it is expected to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. To determine revenue recognition, the Company performs the following five steps: (i) identify the contract(s) with a customer; (ii) identify the performance obligation(s) in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligation(s) in the contract; and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the performance obligation(s) are satisfied. Revenue is recognized upon shipment or delivery to the customer, as that is when the customer obtains control of the promised goods and the Company’s performance obligation is considered satisfied. As such, accounts receivable is recorded at the time of shipment or will call, when the Company’s right to the consideration becomes unconditional and the Company determines there are no uncertainties regarding payment terms or transfer of control. Customer Concentration During the three months ended September 30, 2024, the Company had four customers that accounted for, in the aggregate, net sales of $553,207, comprising approximately 46% of the Company’s net sales during the quarter, for which each represented greater than approximately 10% of the Company’s total net sales . These customers represented an aggregate of 45% of total accounts receivable as of September 30, 2023. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, sales to one customer totaled $466,463, comprising approximately 14% of the Company’s net sales during the period. This customer had a credit balance on accounts as of September 30, 2024. Accounts receivable from three additional customers represented an aggregate $238,982, representing approximately 55% of the Company’s consolidated accounts receivable balance as of September 30, 2024. During the three months ended September 30, 2023, the Company had three customers that accounted for, in the aggregate, net sales of $700,071, comprising approximately 38% of the Company’s net sales during the quarter, for which each represented greater than 10% of the Company’s total net sales. These customers represented an aggregate of 31% of total accounts receivable as of September 30, 2023. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, sales to two customers totaled $1,178,142, comprising approximately 23% of the Company’s net sales during the period. These customers represented 23% of total accounts receivable as of September 30, 2023. Accounts receivable from three additional customers represented an aggregate $190,495, representing approximately 40% of the Company’s consolidated accounts receivable balance as of September 30, 2023. Shipping and Handling Costs Shipping and handling fees billed to customers are classified on the Statement of Operations as “Net sales” and totaled $ 31,993 and $ 27,398 during the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $ 83,882 and $ 52,296 during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Shipping and handling costs for shipping product to customers totaled $ 75,003 and $ 58,141 during the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $ 177,697 and $ 149,898 during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and are classified in selling, general, and administrative expense in the accompanying Statements of Operations. Advertising and Marketing Costs The Company expenses advertising and marketing costs as incurred. Advertising and marketing expense totaled $ 242,515 and $ 238,163 for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively and $ 710,898 and $ 690,995 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and is included in selling, general and administrative expense in the accompanying Statements of Operations. Research and Development Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Research and development costs charged to expense amounted to $ 68,617 and $ 145,111 for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $ 228,782 and $ 316,369 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and are included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying Statements of Operations. Income Taxes The Company is a C corporation and its deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of exiting assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets, including tax loss and credit carryforwards, and liabilities are measured using the enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that included the enactment date. Deferred income tax expense represents the change during the period in the deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Fair Value of Financial Instruments The Company accounts for its financial assets and liabilities in accordance with ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement. ASC Topic 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value, as follows: Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that are accessible at the measurement date. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to Level 1 inputs. Level 2: Observable prices that are based on inputs not quoted on active markets but corroborated by market data. These inputs include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted market prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. Level 3: Unobservable inputs are used when little or no market data is available. The fair value hierarchy gives the lowest priority to Level 3 inputs. In determining fair value, we utilize valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to the extent possible, as well as consider counterparty credit risk in the assessment of fair value. The Company’s financial instruments consist principally of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, short-term revolving loans, stockholder promissory notes, and long-term debt. The fair value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and short-term revolving loans approximates their respective carrying values because of the short-term nature of those instruments. The fair value of the stockholder promissory notes, convertible notes, and long-term debt approximates their respective carrying values because the interest rate approximates market rates available to the Company for similar obligations with the same maturities. Segment Reporting The Company currently operates in one reportable segment. An operating segment is defined as a component of an enterprise for which discrete financial information is available and is reviewed regularly by the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) to evaluate performance and make operating decisions. The Company has identified its Chief Executive Officer as the CODM. Basic and Diluted Net Loss Per Share The basic net loss per share is calculated by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings or loss per share adjusts the basic earnings or loss per share for the potentially dilutive impact of securities (e.g., options and warrants). We calculate basic and diluted net loss per share using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the periods presented. In periods of a net loss position, basic and diluted weighted average common shares are the same. For the diluted earnings per share calculation, we adjust the weighted average number of common shares outstanding to include dilutive stock options, warrants, unvested restricted stock units and shares associated with the conversion of any convertible notes or preferred stock, when applicable. We use the if-converted method for calculating any potential dilutive effect of convertible notes and convertible preferred stock on diluted net loss per share. The following shows the amounts used in computing net loss per share: Schedule of net loss per share Three Months Ended September 30, Nine Months Ended September 30, 2024 2023 2024 2023 Net loss $ (8,814,657 ) $ (1,814,215 ) $ (13,227,828 ) $ (5,270,281 ) Weighted average common shares outstanding – basic and diluted 358,990 69,107 168,219 68,787 Basic and diluted net loss per share $ (24.55 ) $ (26.25 ) $ (78.63 ) $ (76.62 ) As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company has outstanding warrants, options, and RSUs convertible into 6,353,509 and 19,167 shares of common stock, respectively. The following table sets forth the number of shares excluded from the computation of diluted loss per share, as their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive. Schedule of anti-dilutive share As of September 30, 2024 December 31, 2023 Warrants 7,969 802,830 Warrants – Series A 5,301,592 0 Warrants – Series B 1,032,198 0 Stock Options 11,729 1,075,000 RSUs 21 36,585 6,353,509 1,914,415 Stock-Based Compensation The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718 “Compensation-Stock Compensation,” which requires compensation costs to be recognized at grant date fair value over the requisite service period of each of the awards. The Company recognizes forfeitures of awards as they occur. The fair value of stock options is determined using the Black-Scholes-Merton (“Black-Scholes”) option pricing model. In order to calculate the fair value of the options, certain assumptions are made regarding the components of the model, including risk-free interest rate, volatility, expected dividend yield and expected life. Changes to assumptions could cause significant adjustments to the valuation. The fair value of the Pre-Funded Warrants, Series A Warrants, and Series B Warrants associated with the follow-on offering on August 8, 2024, is determined by using the Monte Carlo Model. In order to calculate the fair value of the warrants, certain assumptions are made regarding the components of the model, including risk-free interest rate, volatility, expected dividend yield and expected life. Changes to assumptions could cause significant adjustments to the valuation. New Accounting Pronouncements In July 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-03, amending “Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205),” “Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220),” “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (Topic 480),” “Equity (Topic 505),” and “Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718).” The Company adopted this standard effective December 15, 2023, and the adoption of this guidance did not have an impact on the Company’s financial statements or disclosures. In March 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Updated (“ASU”) 2023-02, “Investments-Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323): Accounting for Investments in Tax Credit Structures Using the Proportional Amortization Method.” This ASU was issued to allow reporting entities to consistently account for equity investments made primarily for the purpose of receiving income tax credits and other income tax benefits. ASU 2023-02 is effective for the Company for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted this standard effective January 1, 2024, and the adoption of this guidance did not have an impact on the Company’s financial statements or disclosures. In June 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-03, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions,” which amends the guidance in Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement, to clarify that a contractual restriction on the sale of an equity security is not considered part of the unit of account of the equity security and, therefore, is not considered in measuring fair value. The amendments also clarify that an entity cannot, as a separate unit of account, recognize and measure a contractual sale restriction. In addition, the ASU introduces new disclosure requirements for equity securities subject to contractual sale restrictions that are measured at fair value. ASU 2022-03 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years for public business entities. The Company adopted this standard, effective January 1, 2024, and the adoption of this guidance did not have an impact on the Company’s financial statements or disclosures. Accounting Guidance Issued but Not Yet Adopted In March 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-02, “Codification Improvements-Amendments to Remove References to the Concepts Statements,” to address suggestions received from stakeholders. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on its financial statements. In March 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-01, “Compensation-Stock Compensation,” which adds an illustrative example to demonstrate how to apply the guidance in paragraph 718-10-15-3. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on its financial statements. In October 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-06, “Disclosure Improvements: Codification Amendments in Response to the SEC’s Disclosure Update and Simplification Initiative,” which affects a variety of Topics in the Codification. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on its financial statements. | 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Presentation The accompanying audited financial statements have been prepared by the Company in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information, and pursuant to the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statement presentation. However, the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting primarily of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Unless otherwise noted, all references to shares and stockholders in the accompanying financial statements have been restated retrospectively, to reflect the equity structure of the C corporation as of the beginning of the first period presented. Reclassification of Prior Year Presentation Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified for consistency with current year presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on the reported results of operations. Going Concern, Liquidity and Capital Resources The Company’s activities are subject to significant risks and uncertainties, including failing to secure additional funding before the Company achieves sustainable revenues and profit from operations. The Company expects to continue to incur additional losses for the foreseeable future, and the Company may need to raise additional debt or equity financing to expand its presence in the marketplace, develop new products, achieve operating efficiencies, and accomplish its long-term business plan over the next several years. There can be no assurance as to the availability or terms upon which such financing and capital might be available. As presented in the accompanying financial statements, the Company has sustained recurring losses and negative cash flows from operations. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within twelve months after the date that the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023 are issued. However, management is working to address its cash flow challenges, including raising additional capital, managing inventory levels, identifying alternative supply chain resources, and managing operational expenses. Historically, the Company’s growth has been funded through a combination of sales of equity interests, third party debt, and working capital loans. The Company’s sales for 2023 decreased 16.5% compared to sales for 2022, as the overall RV market experienced a severe slowdown. For the year ended December 31, 2023, we received net proceeds of $2,420,025 from issuing commitment shares in exchange for a short-term convertible note, and $49,777 from warrant exercises. On April 1, 2022, the Company completed an initial public offering and listing of its shares on the Nasdaq Stock Market (IPO). Proceeds from the IPO, net of costs, totaled $14,772,487, of which approximately $2,464,000 was used to pay down principal and accrued interest on high interest-bearing debt. The remaining proceeds have thus far and will continue to be used, in part, to stock inventory to keep up with demand and to build in-house assembly lines to improve the cash-flow cycle and help reduce the four-month turnaround that the Company currently experiences from suppliers in Asia. In the first half of 2022, a distribution warehouse was set up in Indiana to better service customers throughout the U.S. and an assembly facility was leased in Redmond, Oregon for future expansion of the in-house assembly lines. Additionally, management has secured a secondary source for lithium iron phosphate cells used in its batteries that is based in Europe, should supply disruption issues with Asia arise. Management believes that these factors will contribute to achieving operating efficiency and profitability. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in achieving its objectives, including achieving operating efficiency and profitability. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business; however, the above conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to do so. The financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could vary materially from the estimates that were used. The Company’s significant accounting estimates include the carrying value of accounts receivable and inventory, the depreciable lives of fixed assets, and stock-based compensation. Future events, including the extent and the duration of the COVID-19-related economic impacts and their effects, cannot be predicted with certainty and, accordingly, the Company’s accounting estimates require the exercise of judgment. Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company considers all cash amounts which are not subject to withdrawal restrictions or penalties and all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less from the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. The Company maintains its cash balances with high-quality financial institutions located in the United States. Cash accounts are secured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) up to $250,000 per institution. At times, balances may exceed federally insured limits. Investment accounts are placed in funds consisting of US Treasury-related ultra-short paper, which earned $125,854 during the year ended December 31, 2023. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and management believes that the Company is not exposed to any significant credit risk with respect to its cash and cash equivalents. As of December 31, 2023, cash balances exceeded FDIC limits by $2,280,856 and investment accounts totaling $1,125,100 are invested in US Treasury-related ultra-short paper. Accounts Receivable Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount, are due within a year or less, and generally do not bear any interest. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and generally requires no collateral. An allowance for uncollectible accounts is recorded to reduce accounts receivable to the estimated amount that will be collected. The allowance is based upon management’s review of the accounts receivable aging and specific identification of potentially uncollectible balances. Recoveries of accounts previously written off and adjustments to the allowance for uncollectible accounts are recorded as adjustments to bad debt expense. There was no allowance for doubtful accounts as of December 31, 2023, as management believed all outstanding amounts to be fully collectible. The allowance for doubtful accounts totaled $18,804 as of December 31, 2022. Customer Deposits As of December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had customer deposits totaling $17,423 and $58, respectively. Inventory Inventory is stated at the lower of cost (first in, first out) or net realizable value and consists of batteries and accessories, resale items, components, and related landing costs. As of December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had inventory that consisted of finished assemblies totaling $2,967,021 and $3,243,485, respectively, and raw materials (inventory components, parts, and packaging) totaling $858,369 and $1,286,651, respectively. The valuation of inventory includes fixed production overhead costs based on normal capacity of the assembly warehouse. The Company periodically reviews its inventory for evidence of slow-moving or obsolete inventory and provides for an allowance when considered necessary. The Company determined that no such reserve was necessary as of December 31, 2023 or December 31, 2022. The Company prepays for inventory purchases from foreign suppliers. Prepaid inventory totaled $163,948 and $141,611 at December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, and included inventory in transit where title had passed to the Company but had not yet been physically received. Vendor and Foreign Concentrations of Inventory Suppliers During the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, approximately 70% and 85%, respectively, of inventory purchases were made from foreign suppliers in Asia. Any adverse change in either the economic or political conditions abroad could negatively impact the Company’s supply chain. The inability to obtain product to meet sales demand could adversely affect results of operations. However, the Company has secured a secondary source for lithium iron phosphate cells used in its batteries from a supplier in Europe, enabling the Company to source materials outside of Asia in the event it becomes necessary to do so. Property and Equipment Property and equipment are stated at cost less depreciation calculated on the straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the related assets as follows: Schedule of estimated useful lives Vehicles and transportation equipment 5 - 7 years Office furniture and equipment 3 - 7 years Manufacturing equipment 3 - 10 years Warehouse equipment 3 - 10 years QA equipment 3 - 10 years Tooling and molds 5 - 10 years Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the lease term or their estimated useful lives. Betterments, renewals, and extraordinary repairs that extend the lives of the assets are capitalized; other repairs and maintenance charges are expensed as incurred. The cost and related accumulated depreciation and amortization applicable to assets retired are removed from the accounts, and the gain or loss on disposition is recognized in the Statements of Operations. Leases The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset during the lease term, and operating lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating leases are included in ROU assets, current operating lease liabilities, and long-term operating lease liabilities on the Company’s Balance Sheets. The Company does not have any finance leases. Lease ROU assets and lease liabilities are initially recognized based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term at commencement date calculated using the Company’s incremental borrowing rate applicable to the lease asset, unless the implicit rate is readily determinable. ROU assets also include any lease payments made at or before lease commencement and exclude any lease incentives received. The Company’s lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. Leases with a term of 12 months or less are not recognized on the Company’s Balance Sheet. The Company’s leases do not contain any residual value guarantees. Lease expense for minimum lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company accounts for lease and non-lease components as a single lease component for all its leases. Impairment of Long-Lived Assets Long-lived assets consist primarily of property and equipment. When events or circumstances indicate the carrying value of a long-lived asset may be impaired, the Company estimates the future undiscounted cash flows to be derived from the use and eventual disposition of the asset to assess whether or not a potential impairment exists. If the carrying value exceeds the estimate of future undiscounted cash flows, the impairment is calculated as the excess of the carrying value of the asset over the estimate of its fair value. Fair value is determined primarily using the estimated cash flows discounted at a rate commensurate with the risk involved. No long-lived asset impairment was recognized during the years ended December 31, 2023 or 2022. Product Warranties The Company sells the majority of its products to customers along with conditional repair or replacement warranties. The Company’s branded DC mobile chargers are warrantied for two years from the date of sale and its branded VPR 4EVER Classic and Platinum batteries are warrantied at gradually lesser levels over a twelve-year period from date of sale. The Company determines its estimated liability for warranty claims based on the Company’s experience of the amount of claims actually made. Management estimates no liability as of December 31, 2023 and 2022 because, historically, there have been very few claims and costs for repairs or replacement parts have been nominal. It is possible that the Company’s estimate of liability for product liability claims will change in the near term. Liability for Refunds The Company does not have a formal return policy but does accept returns under its warranty policies. Returns have historically been minimal. No refund liability was recognized in the year ended December 31, 2022 or December 31, 2023. Revenue is recorded net of this amount. Any returns of discontinued product are not added back to inventory and therefore related costs are nominal and not recorded as an asset. Revenue Recognition The Company’s revenue is generated from the sale of products consisting primarily of batteries and accessories. The Company recognizes revenue when control of goods or services is transferred to its customers in an amount that reflects the consideration it is expected to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. To determine revenue recognition, the Company performs the following five steps: (i) identify the contract(s) with a customer; (ii) identify the performance obligation(s) in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligation(s) in the contract; and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the performance obligation(s) are satisfied. Revenue is recognized upon shipment or delivery to the customer, as that is when the customer obtains control of the promised goods and the Company’s performance obligation is considered satisfied. As such, accounts receivable is recorded at the time of shipment or will call, when the Company’s right to the consideration becomes unconditional and the Company determines there are no uncertainties regarding payment terms or transfer of control. Concentration of Major Customers A customer is considered a major customer when net revenue attributable to the customer exceeds 10% of total revenue for the period or outstanding receivable balances exceed 10% of total receivables. During the year ended December 31, 2023, sales to two customers totaled $1.2 million, comprising approximately 21% of total sales. These customers did not have accounts receivable balances as of December 31, 2023, but four other customers had accounts receivable balances totaling $140,000, representing 90% of total accounts receivable as of December 31, 2023. During the year ended December 31, 2022, sales to three customers totaled $2.9 million, comprising approximately 41% of total sales. One of the customers did not have an accounts receivable balance as of December 31, 2022, and the other two customers had accounts receivable balances representing 43% of total accounts receivable as of December 31, 2022. Shipping and Handling Costs Shipping and handling fees billed to customers are classified on the Statement of Operations as “Sales, net” and totaled $70,712 and $23,188 during the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Shipping and handling costs for shipping product to customers totaled $199,288 and $169,335 during the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and are classified in selling, general and administrative expense in the accompanying Statements of Operations. Advertising and Marketing Costs The Company expenses advertising and marketing costs as incurred. Advertising and marketing expense totaled $559,099 and $239,814 for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and is included in selling, general and administrative expense in the accompanying Statements of Operations. Research and Development Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Research and development costs charged to expense amounted to $391,148 and $270,054 for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and are included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying Statements of Operations. Income Taxes Effective November 1, 2021, the Company converted from an LLC to a C corporation and, as a result, became subject to corporate federal and state income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of exiting assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets, including tax loss and credit carryforwards, and liabilities are measured using the enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that included the enactment date. Deferred income tax expense represents the change during the period in the deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. On March 27, 2020, the United States enacted the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”). The CARES Act is an emergency economic stimulus package that includes spending and tax breaks to strengthen the United States economy and fund a nationwide effort to curtail the effect of COVID-19. The CARES Act provides sweeping tax changes in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Some of the more significant provisions are removal of certain limitations on utilization of net operating losses, increasing the loss carryback period for certain losses to five years, and increasing the ability to deduct interest expense, as well as amending certain provisions of the previously enacted Tax Cuts and JOBS Act. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company has not recorded any income tax provision/(benefit) resulting from the CARES Act, mainly due to the Company’s history of net operating losses. On December 27, 2020, the United States enacted the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2021 (the “CAA”). The CAA includes provisions extending certain CARES Act provisions and adds coronavirus relief, tax and health extenders. The Company will continue to evaluate the impact of the CAA and its impact on its financial statements in 2023 and beyond. Fair Value of Financial Instruments The Company accounts for its financial assets and liabilities in accordance with ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement Level 1: Level 2: Level 3: The Company’s financial instruments consist principally of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, short-term revolving loans, stockholder promissory notes, and long-term debt. The fair value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and short-term revolving loans approximates their respective carrying values because of the short-term nature of those instruments. The fair value of the stockholder promissory notes, convertible notes, and long-term debt approximates their respective carrying values because the interest rate approximates market rates available to the Company for similar obligations with the same maturities. Segment Reporting The Company currently operates in one reportable segment. An operating segment is defined as a component of an enterprise for which discrete financial information is available and is reviewed regularly by the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) to evaluate performance and make operating decisions. The Company has identified its CODM as the Chief Executive Officer. Basic and Diluted Net Loss Per Share The basic net loss per share is calculated by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings or loss per share adjusts the basic earnings or loss per share for the potentially dilutive impact of securities (e.g., options and warrants). We calculate basic and diluted net loss per share using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the periods presented. In periods of a net loss position, basic and diluted weighted average common shares are the same. For the diluted earnings per share calculation, we adjust the weighted average number of common shares outstanding to include dilutive stock options, warrants, unvested restricted stock units and shares associated with the conversion of any convertible notes or preferred stock, when applicable. We use the if-converted method for calculating any potential dilutive effect of convertible notes and convertible preferred stock on diluted net loss per share. The following shows the amounts used in computing net loss per share: Schedule of net loss per share Years Ended December 31, 2023 2022 Net loss $ (7,456,274 ) $ (7,536,540 ) Weighted average common shares outstanding – basic and diluted 6,887,985 6,135,938 Basic and diluted net loss per share $ (1.08 ) $ (1.23 ) As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company has outstanding warrants, options, and restricted stock units (“RSUs”) convertible into 1,914,415 and 1,717,936 shares of common stock, respectively. The following table sets forth the number of shares excluded from the computation of diluted loss per share, as their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive. Schedule of anti-dilutive share Years ended December 31, 2023 2022 Warrants 802,830 888,436 Stock options 1,075,000 829,500 RSUs 36,585 — 1,914,415 1,717,936 Stock-Based Compensation The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, “Compensation-Stock Compensation”, which requires compensation costs to be recognized at grant date fair value over the requisite service period of each of the awards. The Company recognizes forfeitures of awards as they occur. The fair value of stock options is determined using the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model. In order to calculate the fair value of the options, certain assumptions are made regarding the components of the model, including risk-free interest rate, volatility, expected dividend yield and expected life. Changes to assumptions could cause significant adjustments to the valuation. New Accounting Pronouncements In March 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-02, “Investments-Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323): Accounting for Investments in Tax Credit Structures Using the Proportional Amortization Method.” This ASU was issued to allow reporting entities to consistently account for equity investments made primarily for the purpose of receiving income tax credits and other income tax benefits. ASU 2023-02 is effective for the Company for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company will adopt this standard effective January 1, 2024, but does not anticipate an impact on the Company’s financial statements or disclosures. In June 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-03, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions,” which amends the guidance in Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement In July 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-03, amending “Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205),” “Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220),” “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (Topic 480),” “Equity (Topic 505),” and “Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718)”. The Company adopted this standard, effective December 15, 2023. Accounting Guidance Issued but Not Yet Adopted In October 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-06, “Disclosure Improvements: Codification Amendments in Response to the SEC’s Disclosure Update and Simplification Initiative,” which affects a variety of Topics in the Codification. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on our financial statements. |
