SUNWORKS, INC.
NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2023
(dollars in thousands, except share and per share data)
References herein to “we,” “us,” “Sunworks,” and “the Company” are to Sunworks, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Sunworks United Inc. (“Sunworks United”), Commercial Solar Energy, Inc. (“CSE”), and Solcius LLC. (“Solcius”)
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
We provide photovoltaic (“PV”) and battery-based power and storage systems for the residential and commercial markets. Commercial projects include commercial, agricultural, industrial and public works projects. We operate in several residential and commercial markets including California, Utah, Nevada, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, Colorado, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey and South Carolina. Through our operating subsidiaries, we design, arrange financing, integrate, install, and manage systems ranging in size from 2kW (kilowatt) for residential projects to multi-MW (megawatt) systems for larger commercial and public works projects. Commercial installations have included installations at office buildings, manufacturing plants, warehouses, service stations, churches, and agricultural facilities such as farms, wineries, and dairies. Public works installations have included school districts, local municipalities, federal facilities and higher education institutions.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements (“financial statements”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all normal recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2023. The financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, as amended by our Form 10-K/A filed on May 1, 2023.
The financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The going concern assumption contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The financial statements do not include any adjustments to the carrying amounts and classification of assets, liabilities, and reported expenses that may be necessary if the Company were unable to continue as a going concern.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
This summary of significant accounting policies of the Company is presented to assist in understanding the Company’s financial statements. These accounting policies conform to GAAP and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements.
There have been no significant changes in the Company’s accounting policies from those disclosed in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Sunworks, Inc., and its wholly owned operating subsidiaries, Sunworks United Inc., Commercial Solar Energy, Inc. and Solcius LLC. All material intercompany transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation of these entities.
Liquidity
The Company has historically incurred significant operating losses. At June 30, 2023, the Company had
an accumulated deficit of approximately $
We partner with various financing providers that offer our customers financial products that allow them to monetize the benefit of solar power generation. At the time of sale of a solar installation, we have historically received advanced funding from lenders to support our working capital needs. Credit market tightening related to recent bank sector volatility and general economic uncertainty have begun to materially change how lenders manage their risk profiles. In view of changing market dynamics, some of our lenders are either reducing or eliminating advance funding, which delays the timing of payment to us and negatively affects our available liquidity. Additionally, lenders are modifying their payment milestones and timelines, which may further reduce our available liquidity.
Management assesses whether the Company has sufficient liquidity to fund its costs for the next twelve months from each financial statement issuance date to determine if there is a substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. In the preparation of this liquidity assessment, management applied judgment to estimate the projected cash flows of the Company, including the following: (i) projected cash outflows, (ii) projected cash inflows, (iii) categorization of expenditures as discretionary versus non-discretionary, (iv) the ability to expedite collection of receivables under the Company’s factoring agreement with Produce Pay, Inc. and (vi) the ability to raise capital through the sale of equity in at-the-market offerings (see Note 8) or otherwise. The cash flow projections are based on known or planned cash requirements for operating costs and expected customer revenues from customers.
The Company’s continued existence is dependent upon management’s ability to increase liquidity, raise capital and develop profitable operations. Management is devoting significant efforts to increasing liquidity, raising capital and developing its business. The Company may meet its working capital requirements through a variety of means, including debt financings, equity financings, the sale or other disposition of assets, and/or reductions in operating costs. The Company anticipates that it will need to sell additional shares of stock, in at-the-market offerings or otherwise, in order to satisfy its liquidity needs for the next twelve months. Our ability to raise additional capital by issuing additional shares will require an increase in our authorized shares that requires shareholder approval. If the Company cannot raise needed funds, it raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to satisfy its liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business over the next year.
Effective

Segment Reporting
We currently operate in three segments based upon our organizational structure and the way in which our operations are managed and evaluated. Our largest segment is Residential Solar which are projects smaller in size and shorter in duration. Our second operating segment is Commercial Solar Energy which includes projects that are commonly larger in size and longer in duration serving commercial, industrial, agricultural and public works customers. Our third segment is Corporate, which is responsible for general company oversight and management. Disaggregating the corporate costs from the residential and commercial operations simplifies the performance evaluation of the Residential Solar and Commercial Solar Energy segments.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates include estimates used to review the Company’s goodwill and intangibles, for possible impairments and estimations of long-lived assets, revenue recognition on construction contracts recognized over time, allowances for uncollectible accounts, finance lease right-of-use assets and liabilities, operating lease right-of-use assets and liabilities, warranty reserves, inventory valuation, valuations of non-cash capital stock issuances and the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable in the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
| 10 |
Revenue Recognition
Revenue and related costs on construction contracts are recognized as the performance obligations for work are satisfied over time in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Under ASC 606, revenue and associated profit, engineering, procurement and construction (“EPC”) projects for residential and smaller commercial systems that require us to deliver functioning solar power systems are generally completed within two to twelve months from commencement of construction. Construction on larger commercial projects may be completed within eighteen to thirty-six months, depending on the size and location. We recognize revenue from commercial EPC services over time as our performance creates or enhances an energy generation asset controlled by the customer.
For residential contracts, the Company recognizes revenue upon completion of the job as determined by final inspection. We recognize revenue for systems operations and maintenance over the term of the service period.
For commercial projects, we commence recognizing performance revenue when work starts on the job and continue recognizing revenue over time as work is performed based on the ratio of costs incurred, excluding modules and components, compared to the total estimated non-materials costs at completion of the performance obligations.
Judgment is required to evaluate assumptions including the amount of net contract revenue and the total estimated costs to determine the Company’s progress towards contract completion and to calculate the corresponding amount of revenue to recognize. If the estimated total costs on any contract are greater than the net contract revenue, the Company recognizes the entire estimated loss in the period the loss becomes known.
Changes
in estimates for commercial projects occur for a variety of reasons, including, but not limited to (i) construction plan accelerations
or delays, (ii) product cost forecast changes, (iii) change orders, or (iv) changes in other information used to estimate costs. Changes
in estimates may have a material effect in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations. The table below outlines
the impact on revenue of net changes in estimated transaction prices and input costs for systems related sales contracts (both increases
and decreases) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 as well as the number of projects that comprise such changes.
For purposes of the following table, only projects with changes in estimates that have an impact on revenue and or cost of at least $

Contract Assets and Liabilities
Contract assets consist of (i) the earned, but unbilled, portion of a project for which payment is deferred by the customer until certain contractual milestones are met; (ii) direct costs, including commissions, installation labor related costs and permitting fees paid prior to recording revenue, and (iii) unbilled receivables which represent revenue that has been recognized in advance of billing the customer, which is common for larger construction contracts. Contract liabilities consist of deferred revenue, customer deposits and customer advances, which represent consideration received from a customer prior to transferring control of goods or services to the customer under the terms of a contract. Total contract assets and contract liabilities balances as of the respective dates are as follows:

(Loss) per Share dictates the calculation of basic earnings (loss) per share and diluted earnings per share. Basic earnings (loss) per share are computed by dividing income (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares available. Diluted earnings per share is computed similar to basic earnings per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive. The shares for employee options, unvested restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and unvested performance-based restricted stock units (“PSUs”) were not used in the calculation of the net loss per share.
A net loss causes all outstanding common stock options, unvested RSUs and unvested PSUs to be anti-dilutive. As a result, the basic and diluted losses per common share are the same for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
As of June 30, 2023, the potentially dilutive securities that have been excluded from the computations of weighted average shares outstanding include stock options, unvested RSUs and unvested PSUs.
As of June 30, 2022, the potentially dilutive securities that have been excluded from the computations of weighted average shares outstanding include stock options, unvested RSUs and unvested PSUs.
Dilutive per share amounts are computed using the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding and potentially dilutive securities, using the treasury stock method, if their effect would be dilutive.
New Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-13, “Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments.” This ASU replaces the incurred loss impairment methodology in current U.S. GAAP with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information for credit loss estimates on certain types of financial instruments, including trade receivables. In addition, new disclosures are required. The ASU, as subsequently amended, is effective for the Company for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, as the Company was a smaller reporting company as of November 15, 2019, the determination date. We adopted ASU 2016-13 on January 1, 2023. Based on the composition of the Company’s accounts receivable, and other financial assets, including current market conditions and historical credit loss activity, the adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements or disclosures. Specifically, the Company’s estimate of expected credit losses as of June 30, 2023, using its expected credit loss evaluation process described above, resulted in no adjustments to the provision for credit losses and no cumulative-effect adjustment to accumulated deficit on the adoption date of the standard.

Management reviewed currently issued pronouncements during the six months ended June 30, 2023, and believes that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would not have a material effect on the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.

Historically, the Commercial Solar Energy subsidiary participated in the California residential solar market. Following the acquisition of Solcius, all new residential sales are managed under the Solcius brand. Due to materiality, the Company will continue to report the remaining backlog of residential projects in the Commercial Solar Energy segment, which is expected to be fulfilled within the next year. Commercial Solar Energy primarily operates in California.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations should be read together with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this “Quarterly Report”) and the audited consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, as amended by our Form 10-K/A filed on May 1, 2023 (our “Annual Report”). This section contains forward-looking statements that are based on our current expectations and reflect our plans, estimates, and anticipated future financial performance. These statements involve numerous risks and uncertainties. Our actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements as a result of many factors, including those set forth in the sections entitled “Risk Factors” in Part II, Item 1A, and “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” included in this Quarterly Report.
Unless otherwise noted, (1) “Sunworks” refers to Sunworks, Inc., (2) “Company,” “we,” “us,” and “our,” refer to the ongoing business operations of Sunworks, Inc., and its wholly-owned operating subsidiaries, Sunworks United Inc., Commercial Solar Energy, Inc. and Solcius LLC. All material intercompany transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation of these entities.
All amounts presented in this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, unless otherwise noted, are expressed in thousands of U.S. dollars, except share and per share amounts and unless otherwise noted.
Residential Solar
Through our Residential Solar operating subsidiary, Solcius, LLC, we design, arrange financing, integrate, install, and manage systems, primarily for residential homeowners. We sell residential solar systems through multiple channels, including our network of sales channel partners, and our growing direct sales channel strategy. We operate in several residential and commercial markets including California, Utah, Nevada, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, Colorado, Minnesota, Wisconsin and South Carolina.
Commercial Solar
Through our Commercial Solar Energy operating subsidiaries, we design, arrange financing, integrate, install, and manage systems ranging in size from 2kW (kilowatt) for residential projects to multi-MW (megawatt) systems for larger commercial and public works projects. Commercial installations have included installations at office buildings, manufacturing plants, warehouses, service stations, churches, and agricultural facilities such as farms, wineries, and dairies. Public works installations have included school districts, local municipalities, federal facilities and higher education institutions. Commercial Solar Energy primarily operates primarily in California.
For both the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, approximately 79% of our revenue was from installations for the residential market, and approximately 21% of our revenue was from installations for the commercial and public works markets.
For the three months and six months ended June 30, 2022, approximately 91% and 89% of our revenue, respectively, was from installations for the residential market and approximately 9% and 11% of our revenue, respectively was from installations for the commercial and public works markets.
Critical Accounting Estimates
We prepare our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), which requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses recorded in our financial statements. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carry values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources.
| 20 |
These estimates may change as new events occur and additional information is obtained. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions and conditions.
There were no significant changes in our critical accounting estimates during the six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to those previously disclosed in “Critical Accounting Policies” and “Use of Estimates” in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” included in our Annual Report.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2023 COMPARED TO THE THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2022
REVENUE AND COST OF GOODS SOLD
For the three months ended June 30, 2023, revenue declined to $34,638, compared to $36,397 for the same quarter in the prior year. Approximately 78.5% of revenue was from residential segment installations, or $27,200, compared to 89.3% of revenue, or $32,516, for the same quarter in the prior year. Residential segment revenue declined as a result of fewer projects reaching final inspection compared to the same quarter in the prior year, partially offset by higher average selling prices. Commercial and public works revenue was approximately 21.5% of revenue, or $7,438, for the three months ended June 30, 2023, compared to 10.7%, or $3,881, of revenue in the same period in the prior year. The increase in commercial revenue is a result of an increased backlog and executing on our strategy to grow the commercial segment.
Cost of goods sold for the three months ended June 30, 2023, was $23,196, compared to $19,803 reported for the three months ended June 30, 2022. The increase in cost of goods sold is primarily the result of inflationary pressures on labor, materials and construction supplies, as well as, under absorption of direct and overhead costs due to extended California interconnection approval timelines and lower volume in several markets.
Gross profit was $11,442 for the three months ended June 30, 2023, compared to $16,594 for the prior year period. The gross margin declined to 33.0% in the second quarter of 2023, compared to 45.6% in the second quarter 2022. The reduction in margin is the result of installation delays due to delayed regulatory approvals and higher construction costs.
SELLING AND MARKETING EXPENSES
For the three months ended June 30, 2023, the Company’s selling and marketing expenses were $11,967 compared to $14,318 for the same three months in 2022. As a percentage of revenue, selling and marketing expenses were 34.5% of revenue in the second quarter of 2023 compared to 39.3% of revenue in the same period in 2022. The decreased expenses were largely related to the benefit of our sales and marketing effort over the past year to expand our lead generation efforts and improve brand awareness. Additionally, these investments are targeted at positively impacting our ability to grow our in-house sales capability for residential markets. In the prior year period, we incurred a higher marketing spend for dealer commissions, advertising and branding. The residential sales and marketing model had previously focused on lead generation and effective interaction with a network of authorized dealers and third-party sales organizations.
GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES
Total general and administrative expenses increased to $9,773 for the three months ended June 30, 2023, compared to $8,495 for the same period in the prior year. The general and administrative expenses increased from the prior year period as a result of increases in salaries and benefits, insurance, professional services, software and equipment related expenses, partially offset by savings attributable to a reduction of headcount in 2023.
STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION EXPENSES
During the three months ended June 30, 2023, we incurred $436 in total non-cash stock-based compensation expense, compared to $371 for the prior year period. The period-over-period increase in stock-based compensation is the result of expanding RSU grants as part of utilizing the non-cash compensation structure for incentivizing employees.
| 21 |
DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION
Depreciation and amortization expense for the three months ended June 30, 2023 was $1,016, which includes $393 recorded in cost of goods sold compared to $1,312, which includes $241 recorded in cost of goods sold in the prior year period. Depreciation and amortization expenses decreased in the current year period as a result of a portion of the $15,600 of identified intangible assets of Solcius being fully amortized within 2022 following the closing of the Solcius acquisition in April 2021. The estimated useful lives range from nine months to ten years. Offsetting the reduction in amortization of intangibles was an increase in depreciation expense for additional installation service vehicles added during the first half of 2023. The amortization expense from the Solcius acquisition for the second quarter of 2023 was $613, compared to $1,047 for the same period in 2022.
OTHER INCOME (EXPENSE)
Other expenses were $(1,207) for the three months ended June 30, 2023, compared to other income of $170 for the same period in the prior year. Other expense is primarily the result of the $1,028 loss resulting from the sale our net $5,055 Employee Retention Tax Credit during the quarter. The interest expense of $173 is primarily related to the finance lease assets, credit card finance charges, sales tax liability and the financing of business insurance premiums.
INCOME TAX EXPENSE
Income tax expense is a provision for Texas Margin Tax for our Texas based operations.
NET LOSS
The net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2023, was $12,676, compared to a net loss of $7,585 for the three months ended June 30, 2022.
ORDERS AND BACKLOG
For the quarter ended June 30, 2023, our combined backlog of residential and commercial projects was $84,000, approximately a 2.7% decrease compared to the prior year end. Residential Solar segment originations decreased by approximately 50% in the current quarter, compared to the prior year quarter, primarily driven by higher interest rates and following a surge in California originations in the first quarter of 2023 as customers secured more favorable economics in advance of the NEM 3.0 deadline. Within this segment, originations generated from the direct sales channel were approximately 45%, compared to approximately 23% in the prior period, due to execution against our stated goal to diversify our sources of originations. As a result, the Residential Solar backlog declined to $48,000, or 19%, on a year-over-year basis. We expect to execute against our Residential Solar segment backlog over the next 1-5 months, as project complexity, jurisdictional requirements, materials and labor availability each influence timelines for completion.
Commercial Solar segment orders were approximately $8,094 for the quarter ending June 30, 2023, compared to approximately $23,743 during the same period in the prior year, which was primarily driven by the timing of several large orders. The Commercial Solar segment backlog is $36,200, which represents a 0.2% increase on a year-over-year basis. We expect to execute against this backlog over the next 3 to18 months, subject to receiving timely authorizations to proceed with construction from the various stakeholders.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2023 COMPARED TO THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2022
REVENUE AND COST OF GOODS SOLD
For the six months ended June 30, 2023, revenue increased to $72,537 compared to $67,593 for the six months ended June 30, 2022. Residential segment revenue was approximately 78.9% of revenue in the first six months of 2023 or $57,207. Residential segment revenue was approximately 87.2% of revenue or $58,911, for the same period in the prior year. Residential segment revenue decreased as a result of the reduction in third-party sales organization sourced revenue and extended inspection times. As a percentage of total revenue, residential segment revenue decreased as commercial revenue increased in both dollars and percentage of total revenue. Commercial segment revenue was 21.1% of total revenue, or $15,330, for the first six months of 2023, compared to 12.8%, or $8,682 of revenue in the same period of the prior year. Commercial revenue benefits from greater order volume in prior periods.
| 22 |
Cost of goods sold for the six months ended June 30, 2023, was $49,173, or 67.8% of revenue, compared to $37,827, or 56.0% of revenue, reported for the six months ended June 30, 2022. The increase in cost of goods sold is primarily the result of higher revenue combined with inflationary pressures on materials and construction labor, as well as labor inefficiencies associated with weather and regulatory approval delays in the current year. Included within cost of goods sold is a $979 inventory write-down for solar module inventory to lower of cost or market, as a result of excess inventory in our Commercial Solar Energy segment.
Gross profit was $23,364 for the six months ended June 30, 2023. This compares to $29,766 of gross profit for the same period of the prior year. Gross margin declined to 32.2% in the first six months of 2023 compared to 44.0% in the same six-month period of 2022. The reduction in margin is the result of installation delays due to regulatory approvals and weather delays, as well as, higher construction costs.
SELLING AND MARKETING EXPENSES
For the six months ended June 30, 2023, our selling and marketing expenses were $24,046, compared to $26,548 for the six months ended June 30, 2022. As a percentage of revenue, selling and marketing expenses were 33.1% for the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to 39.3% of revenue in the same period of 2022. Selling and marketing expenses decreased as a result of lower residential revenue, as the residential business model focuses more on direct lead generation.
GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES
Total general and administrative expenses of $18,616 for the six months ended June 30, 2023, increased, compared to $15,305 for the six months ended June 30, 2022. The general and administrative expenses increased from the prior year six-month period as a result of increases in corporate overhead expenses including legal, accounting and consulting fees.
STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION EXPENSE
During the six months ended June 30, 2023, we incurred $880 in total non-cash stock-based compensation expense, compared to $1,655 for the same period in the prior year. The period-over-period decrease in stock-based compensation is the result of the vesting of the Solcius acquisition related RSUs and stock options granted in April 2021. Partially offsetting the reduction in stock-based compensation expense is the non-cash expense for expanding RSU grants during 2022 as part of the compensation structure to a broader population of employees.
DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION
Depreciation and amortization expense for the six months ended June 30, 2023 was $1,967, which includes $722 recorded in cost of goods sold compared to $2,595, which includes $474 recorded in cost of goods sold in the prior year period. Depreciation and amortization expenses decreased in the current year period as a result of a portion of the $15,600 of identified intangible assets of Solcius being fully amortized within 2022 following the closing of the Solcius acquisition in April 2021. The estimated useful lives range from nine months to ten years.
OTHER INCOME (EXPENSE)
Other income was $2,469 for the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to $165 for the same period in the prior year. Other income is primarily related to the $5,055 employee retention tax credit receivable, net of consultants’ fees. During the second quarter the employee retention tax credit was sold at a discount of $1,028 which appears as other expense. Interest expense of $242 is primarily related to the finance lease assets, sales tax liability, credit card finance charges and the financing of business insurance premiums. Included in loss on sale of assets is the sale of $3,969 of solar module inventory for $2,596, recognizing a loss on the sale of assets of $1,373.
Other income in 2022 was the result of the gain on equipment sales of $178 most of which was fully depreciated. Interest expense of $66 is primarily for interest on finance leases and sales taxes liability.
INCOME TAX EXPENSE
Income tax expense is a provision for Texas Margin Tax on our Texas based operations.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We had $4,631 in unrestricted cash at June 30, 2023, as compared to $7,807 at December 31, 2022. We believe that our existing cash and cash equivalents is not sufficient to meet our operating cash requirements and strategic objectives for growth for at least the next year. To satisfy our capital requirements, including acquisitions and ongoing operations, for 12 months and longer into the future, we expect to raise additional capital through debt and equity financings or the sale or other disposition of assets.
On January 27, 2021, we filed a Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-252475) (the “2021 Registration Statement”), with the SEC. The 2021 Registration Statement allows the Company to offer and sell, from time to time in one or more offerings, any combination of common stock, preferred stock, warrants, or units having an aggregate initial offering price not to exceed $100,000. The 2021 Registration Statement was declared effective by the SEC on February 3, 2021. From January 1, 2023 through the date of this filing we sold 1,394,743 shares with gross proceeds of approximately $1,751 under the 2021 Registration Statement. Approximately $17,600 of the $100,000 total is available for future offerings pursuant to the 2021 Registration Statement.
On June 1, 2022, the Company filed a Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-265336) (the “2022 Registration Statement”) with the SEC. The 2022 Registration Statement allows the Company to offer and sell, from time to time in one or more offerings, any combination of common stock, preferred stock, warrants, or units having an aggregate initial offering price not to exceed $75,000. The 2022 Registration Statement was declared effective by the SEC on August 5, 2022.
On June 12, 2023, pursuant to a securities purchase agreement, the Company sold and issued 4,050,000 shares of common stock registered under the 2022 Registration Statement. The registered direct offering was at a purchase price of $1.14 per share for total gross proceeds of $4,617. After deducting placement agent commissions and other offering expenses, the net proceeds were $4,290, or $1.06 per share.
On August 11, 2023, pursuant to a securities purchase agreement, the Company sold and issued 3,300,000 shares of common stock registered under the 2022 Registration Statement. The registered direct offering was at a purchase price of $1.00 per share for total gross proceeds of $3,300. After deducting placement agent commissions and other offering expenses, the net proceeds were $3,002, or $0.91 per share. Approximately $67,100 of the $75,000 total is available for future offerings pursuant to the 2022 Registration Statement.

In addition, effective May 4, 2023, we entered into a Factoring Agreement (the “Factoring Agreement”) with Produce Pay Inc. (the “Buyer”) pursuant to which we may offer for sale, and the Buyer may purchase at 80% of face value, certain accounts receivable of the Company. Through June 30, 2023, $2,405 of receivables have been factored. Proceeds received total $1,924 through June 30, 2023 and $54 of interest expense recognized.
On May 22, 2023, the Company entered into a trade purchase agreement with respect to its Employee Retention Tax Credit receivable (ERC) with 1861 Acquisition LLC. Under the terms of the agreement, on May 23, 2023, the Company received $5,723 of proceeds under the trade purchase agreement.
As of June 30, 2023, our working capital surplus was $12,514 compared to a working capital surplus of $23,596 at December 31, 2022.
During the six months ended June 30, 2023, we used $11,157 of cash in operating activities compared to $16,975 used in operating activities for the prior year period. The cash used in operating activities was primarily the result of a higher operating loss during year partially offset by a reduction of inventory, which is primarily driven by sales of excess inventory and improved module lead times and availability.
Net cash provided by investing activities totaled $2,481 for the six months ended June 30, 2023, primarily from the sale of inventory partially offset by the acquisition of vehicles and equipment. The cash used in investing activities for the same period in 2022 totaled $242 for routine equipment purchases.
Net cash provided by financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2023 was $5,501 primarily due to net proceeds from the at-the-market offerings under our 2021 Registration Statement and our registered direct offering under our 2022 Registration Statement. Principal payments for finance lease liabilities totaled $446 together with $43 in tax payments related to net share settlement of equity awards.
Net cash provided by financing activities during the first six months of 2022 was $9,565 primarily due to net proceeds from the at-the-market offerings under our 2021 Registration Statement.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, revenues, results of operations, liquidity, or capital expenditures.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.
Not Applicable.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)). Based upon that evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered in this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the required time periods specified in the SEC rules and forms and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
| 25 |
Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls
Our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, do not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal controls will prevent all errors or fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. In addition, the design of any system of controls is based on assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with policies and procedures may deteriorate. Control systems can also be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control. Due to the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the fiscal second quarter ended June 30, 2023, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.
None.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
The disclosure below supplements our risk factors from those disclosed in Part I, Item 1A in our Annual Report and Part II, Item 1A of our Quarterly Report for the quarter ended March 31, 2023. These risks and uncertainties, along with those previously disclosed, could materially adversely affect our business or financial results.
Our ability to raise capital through the sale of our common stock in amounts sufficient to fund operations requires shareholder approval of an amendment to our certificate of incorporation to increase our authorized shares of common stock.
To satisfy our capital requirements, we expect to raise additional capital through equity financings. Our certificate of incorporation currently authorizes the issuance of 50,000,000 shares of common stock. As of August 11, 2023, there were 44,280,882 shares of common stock issued and outstanding. Our ability to raise additional capital sufficient to fund operations by issuing shares of common stock will require us to increase the number of our authorized shares of common stock above 50,000,000. To increase the number of our authorized shares of common stock, we will need to ask our shareholders to approve an amendment to our certificate of incorporation, which requires an affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of our common stock attending our annual shareholders meeting and voting on the proposal to amend our certificate of incorporation. There is no assurance that we will be able to obtain the requisite shareholder approval to increase the number of our authorized shares of common stock. Failure to increase the number of our authorized shares of common stock would have a material adverse impact on our ability to raise capital sufficient to fund operations.
| 26 |
If we are unable to obtain funding on a timely basis, or if revenues from collaboration arrangements or financing sources are less than we have projected, we may be required to further revise our business plan and strategy, which may result in us significantly curtailing, delaying or discontinuing portions or all of our operations, or may result in our being unable to expand our operations or otherwise capitalize on our business opportunities. As a result, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially affected.
