NOTE
2
– LIQUIDITY AND GOING CONCERN
 
The accompanying condensed 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
$24,736,000
through
March 31, 2018
and had a net loss of
$1,753,000
and
$5,039,000
for the
three
and
nine
month ended
March 31, 2018,
respectively. To date, our revenues and operating cash flows have
not
been sufficient to sustain our operations and we have relied on debt and equity financing to fund our operations. These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern for the
twelve
months following the filing date of our Quarterly Report on Form
10
-Q,
May 14, 2018.
Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to raise additional capital on a timely basis until such time as revenues and related cash flows are sufficient to fund our operations.
 
Management has undertaken steps to improve our financial position with the goal of sustaining our operations. These steps include (a) developing a full product line of lithium battery packs for forklifts; and (b) expanding our sales force throughout the United States. In that regard, we have increased our research and development efforts to focus on completing the development of energy storage solutions that can be used on larger forklifts. During
December 2017,
we shipped our
first
Class
1
LiFT Pack to a Fortune
100
heavy machinery conglomerate for evaluation and have continued the improvement and development of the Class
1
LiFT Pack, as well as, the development of the Class
2
and Class
3
packs. Our Class
3
End Rider LiFT pack was presented at a major Food & Beverage tradeshow during
March 2018
and we anticipate sending additional evaluation packs out beginning in
May 2018.
Additionally, our GSE LiFT Pack has been under evaluation for the past year and we received our
first
major production order for
17
GSE LiFT packs that are scheduled to be shipped by the end of
May 2018.
We have also doubled our sales force since
December 2016
with personnel having significant experience in the industrial equipment handling industry. Combined with the development of relationships with
two
of the nation’s largest industrial equipment manufacturers we have generated revenues in excess of fiscal
2017
revenues during each of the past
two
quarters. The impact of these efforts is expected to continue to be seen throughout the remainder of fiscal
2018.
 
We have evaluated our expected cash requirements over the next
twelve
months, which include, but are
not
limited to, investments in additional sales and marketing and product development resources, capital expenditures, and working capital requirements and have determined that our existing cash resources are
not
sufficient to meet our anticipated needs during the next
twelve
months, and that additional financing is required to support current operations. Based on our current and planned levels of expenditures, we estimate that total financing proceeds of approximately
$5,000,000
will be required to fund current and planned operations for the
twelve
months following the filing date of this Quarterly Report on Form
10
-Q. In addition, we anticipate that further additional financing
may
be required to fund our business plan subsequent to that date, until such time as revenues and related cash flows become sufficient to support our operating costs.
 
Management plans to raise additional required capital through private placements of equity securities and through draws on our existing related-party credit facilities. We initiated a private placement of equity securities in
March 2018
under which we are authorized by the Board of Directors to raise up to
$4,000,000
(See Note
5
). As of
May 11, 2018,
a total of
$800,000
was raised pursuant to this private placement, of which,
$200,000
was raised prior to
March 31, 2018.
Subsequent to the closing on
May 11, 2018,
the offering was terminated.  Additionally, as more fully discussed in Note
4,
we have
two
credit facilities with Esenjay Investments, LLC (“Esenjay”). 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 shareholder of the Company. The Unrestricted Line of Credit has a maximum borrowing amount of
$10,000,000
of which
$2,025,000
was available for future draw as of
May 14, 2018
and the Inventory Line of Credit has a maximum borrowing amount of
$5,000,000
of which
$3,245,000
was available for future draws as of
May 14, 2018.
 
Although management believes we will be able to obtain additional required funding, there is
no
guarantee we will be able to obtain such funding 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 resources, and capital expenditures, which
may
have a material adverse effect on our future cash flows and results of operations, and our ability to continue operating as a going concern. The accompanying financial statements do
not
include any adjustments that would be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern and, therefore, be required to liquidate our assets and discharge our 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.
