LIQUIDITY AND CONTINUED OPERATIONS
LIQUIDITY AND CONTINUED OPERATIONS

During the six months ended June 30, 2017 and the year ended December 31, 2016, the Company entered into multiple financing agreements to fund operations. Further discussion of these transactions can be found in Notes 8 through 19 of the financial statements presented as of, and for the six months ended, June 30, 2017, and in Notes 9 through 20 of the financial statements included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.

The Company has continued PV production at its manufacturing facility. The Company does not expect that sales revenue and cash flows will be sufficient to support operations and cash requirements until it has fully implemented its product strategy. During the six months ended June 30, 2017 the Company used $6.3 million in cash for operations. The Company's primary significant long term cash obligation consists of a note payable of $5.7 million to a financial institution secured by a mortgage on its headquarters and manufacturing building in Thornton, Colorado. Total payments of $0.4 million, including principal and interest, will come due in the remainder of 2017. The Company also owes $50,000 as of June 30, 2017 related to a litigation settlement reached in April 2014, which is being paid in equal installments over 40 months beginning in April 2014.

Additional projected product revenues are not anticipated to result in a positive cash flow position for the year 2017 overall and, as of June 30, 2017, the Company has negative working capital. As such, cash liquidity sufficient for the year ending December 31, 2017 will require additional financing.
The Company continues to accelerate sales and marketing efforts related to its consumer and military solar products and specialty PV application strategies through expansion of its sales and distribution channels. The Company has begun activities related to securing additional financing through strategic or financial investors, but there is no assurance the Company will be able to raise additional capital on acceptable terms or at all. If the Company's revenues do not increase rapidly, and/or additional financing is not obtained, the Company will be required to significantly curtail operations to reduce costs and/or sell assets. Such actions would likely have an adverse impact on the Company's future operations.

As a result of the Company’s recurring losses from operations, and the need for additional financing to fund its operating and capital requirements, there is uncertainty regarding the Company’s ability to maintain liquidity sufficient to operate its business effectively, which raises substantial doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
