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 Arvada, 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, 2016, 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, 2016.

Significant Accounting Policies

Going Concern

 

As shown in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements, we had an equity deficit of $14,117,844 and a working capital deficit of $13,934,294 as of March 31, 2017, and have reported net losses of $816,917 and $890,586 for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, 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 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.

 

Some of our debt agreements are due on demand. If demand for payment is made by one or multiple vendors, we would experience a liquidity issue as we do not currently have the funds available to pay off these debts. While we have entered into extensions with several of our lenders, there can be no assurances that any of the lenders will be cooperative or that if they are willing to provide extensions or forbearances, that the terms under which they may be willing to provide them will be favorable to us.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-01, Clarifying the Definition of a Business (Topic 805) (ASU 2017-01). ASU 2017-01 changes the definition of a business to assist entities with evaluating when a set of transferred assets and activities is a business.  ASU 2017-01 requires an entity to evaluate if substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or a group of similar identifiable assets; if so, the set of transferred assets and activities is not a business.  ASU 2017-01 also requires a business to include at least one substantive process and narrows the definition of outputs by more closely aligning it with how outputs are described in ASC 606.  ASU 2017-01 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and for interim periods within those years.  We do not expect this ASU to have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
