Note 1 — Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

ExeLED Holdings Inc. was incorporated in the State of Delaware on October 20, 1986 under the name “Verilink Corporation.” We have also been known as Energie Holdings, Inc. and Alas Aviation Corp. We have two wholly-owned subsidiaries, Energie LLC (hereinafter referred to as “Energie”), and OELC, LLC.

 

All references herein to “us,” “we,” “our,” “Holdings,” or the “Company” refer to ExeLED Holdings Inc. and its subsidiaries.

 

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

 

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 year ended December 31, 2015.

 

Significant Accounting Policies

 

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 nine months ended September 30, 2016, was a decrease of total assets and a decrease of debt and total liabilities of $236,017. 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

 

As shown in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements, we had an equity deficit of $12,421,222 and a working capital deficit of $11,862,601 as of September 30, 2016, and have reported net losses of $2,575,522 and $2,026,403 for the nine months ended September 30, 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.

 

Reclassifications

 

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current year presentation.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

In August 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments (ASU 2016-10). Stakeholders indicated that there is a diversity in practice in how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-15 addresses eight specific cash flow issues with the objective of reducing the existing diversity in practice. ASU 2016-15 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. Adoption of ASU 2016-15 will not have a significant impact on our statement of cash flows.
