Going Concern

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has incurred an accumulated deficit of $42,890,000 through September 30, 2019 and a net loss of $3,814,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2019. To date, the Company’s revenues and operating cash flows have not been sufficient to sustain its operations, and the Company has relied on debt and equity financing to fund its operations. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for the twelve months following the filing date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, November 12, 2019. As of September 30, 2019, the Company had a cash balance of $163,000 and will need to raise additional capital in the near future. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to raise additional capital on a timely basis until such time as revenues and related cash flows are sufficient to fund its operations.

 

Management has undertaken steps as part of a plan to improve operations with the goal of sustaining its operations. These steps include (a) developing additional products to cater to the Class 1 and Class 2 industrial equipment markets; and (b) expanding its sales force throughout the United States to increase revenues. In that regard, the Company has increased its research and development efforts to focus on completing the development of energy storage solutions that can be used on larger fork lifts and has also doubled its sales force since December 2016 with personnel having significant experience in the industrial equipment handling industry.

 

Management also plans to raise additional capital through the sale of equity securities through private placements, convertible debt placements and the utilization of its existing related-party credit facility.

 

On March 31, 2019, the Company amended its line of credit with Esenjay Investments, LLS (“Esenjay”), a related party, to: (i) increase the maximum principal amount available under line of credit from $5,000,000 to $7,000,000 (“LOC”), (ii) add Cleveland Capital L.P., a Delaware limited partnership and our minority stockholder (“Cleveland”), as an additional lender to the LOC pursuant to which each lender has a right to advance a pro rata amount of the principal amount available under the LOC, (iii) extend the maturity date from March 31, 2019 to December 31, 2019, and (iv) to provide for additional parties to become a lender under the LOC.  The outstanding principal balance as of September 30, 2019 was $7,000,000 of which Esenjay has $2,405,000 outstanding, Cleveland has $2,000,000 outstanding, and six (6) other lenders have an aggregate of $2,595,000 outstanding. Esenjay is deemed to be a related party as Mr. Michael Johnson, the beneficial owner and director of Esenjay is a current member of our board of directors and a major stockholder of the Company (owning approximately 61.4% of our outstanding common shares as of September 30, 2019).

 

 There is no guarantee the Company will be able to obtain the additional required funds on a timely basis or that funds will be available on terms acceptable to us. If such funds are not available when required, management will be required to curtail its investments in additional sales and marketing and product development, which may have a material adverse effect on its future cash flows and results of operations, and its ability to continue operating as a going concern. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that would be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern and, therefore, be required to liquidate its assets and discharge its liabilities in other than the normal course of business and at amounts that may differ from those reflected in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.
