Description of Business

 

We are focused on acquiring and growing specialized LED lighting companies for the architecture and interior design markets for both commercial and residential applications. Our lighting products include both conventional fixtures and advanced solid-state technology that can integrate with digital controls and day-lighting to create energy efficiencies and a better visual environment. Our objective is to grow, innovate, and fully capture the rapidly growing lighting market opportunities associated with solid state lighting.

 

Énergie was founded in 2001 and is engaged in the import and sale of specialized interior lighting solutions to the architecture and interior design markets in North America. Our headquarters is located in Wheat Ridge, Colorado, and we also maintain a production and assembly facility in Zeeland, Michigan.

Basis of Presentation

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2015, has been derived from audited financial statements. The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the annual audited financial statements and in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim financial statements. In the opinion of management, such unaudited information includes all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) necessary for a fair presentation of this interim information. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Operating results and cash flows for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results that can be expected for the entire year. The information included in this report should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2015.

In accordance with the FASB’s issuance of ASU No. 2015-03, Interest-Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30), Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs (ASU 2015-03) and ASU No. 2015-15, Interest—Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Presentation and Subsequent Measurement of Debt Issuance Costs Associated with Line-of-Credit Arrangements—Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to Staff Announcement at June 18, 2015 EITF Meeting (SEC Update) (ASU 2015-15), we have changed our presentation of debt issuance costs. Consistent with the application of ASU 2015-03 and 2015-15, we now present debt issuance costs as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt rather than as an asset on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. The impact of this change on the condensed consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2016 was a decrease of total assets and a decrease of debt and total liabilities of $98,311. The impact of this change on the condensed consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2015 was a decrease of total assets and a decrease of debt and total liabilities of $101,358. The change had no impact on shareholders’ equity (deficit) or net loss in either period.

Going Concern

Going Concern

 

As shown in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements, we had an equity deficit of $10,913,727 and a working capital deficit of $9,669,324 as of March 31, 2016, and have reported net losses of $890,586 and $612,285 for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.  These factors raise substantial doubt regarding our ability to continue as a going concern. 

 

Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on our ability to further implement our business plan, attract additional capital and, ultimately, upon our ability to develop future profitable operations. We intend to fund our business development, acquisition endeavors and operations through equity and debt financing arrangements. However, there can be no assurance that these arrangements will be sufficient to fund our ongoing capital expenditures, working capital, and other cash requirements. The outcome of these matters cannot be predicted at this time. These matters raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if we are unable to continue as a going concern. Additionally, current economic conditions in the United States and globally create significant challenges attaining sufficient funding.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (ASU 2016-02). ASU 2016-02 requires that lessees will be required to recognize assets and liabilities on the balance sheet for the rights and obligations created by all leases with terms of more than 12 months. ASU 2016-02 also will require disclosures designed to give financial statement users information on the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. These disclosures include qualitative and quantitative information. For public companies, the standard will take effect for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018 with earlier application permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2016-02 on our financial statements.

 

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting (ASU 2016-09) which simplifies several aspects of accounting for share-based payment transactions including income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, classification on the statement of cash flows and accounting for forfeitures. ASU 2016-09 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016. We are currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2016-02 on our financial statements.
