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 September 30, 2017, 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, 2016.

 

Going Concern

Going Concern

 

As shown in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements, we had an equity deficit of $15,995,127 and a working capital deficit of $15,871,327 as of September 30, 2017, and have reported net losses of $2,694,200 and $2,575,522 for the nine months ended September 30, 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 July 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-11, Earnings Per Share (Topic 260), Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (Topic 480) and Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815) (ASU 2017-11). ASU 2017-11 eliminates the requirement to consider “down round” features when determining whether certain equity-linked financial instruments or embedded features are indexed to an entity’s own stock.  ASU 2017-11 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and for interim periods within those years, with early adoption permitted.  We are currently assessing whether or not this ASU will have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

 

The Financial Accounting Standards Board and other entities have issued other new or modifications to, or interpretations of, existing accounting guidance during 2017. Management has carefully considered the new pronouncements that altered generally accepted accounting principles and does not believe that any other new or modified principles will have a material impact on the Company’s reported financial position or operations in the near term.
