Overview

The 2020 yearVision Hydrogen Corporation “Vision” was challenging for us. Originally, we set out to provide hydrogen energy systems for residential users. The original business plan, established in April 2016, focused on developing the market for residential off grid hydrogen energy systems while simultaneously acquiring companies that possessed technicians who could be trainedincorporated in the designstate of Nevada on August 17, 2015 as H/Cell Energy Corporation and deploymentis based in Jersey City, New Jersey. On November 8, 2021, we entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with VoltH2 Holdings AG, a Swiss corporation, and shareholders of these hydrogen energy systems.

In February 2020, we decided to adopt another approach in market development, which was to pursue the one market that was establishing momentum, hydrogen production on a plant-size scale. In order to achieve our new strategic business model, we decided to sell both our subsidiaries because they were not producing enough profit and were not a strategic fit with our goal of developing the market for hydrogen energy systems. Further, the hydrogen energy market for residential users was not developing at all based on cost inefficiencies, and debt levels were beginning to impact us adversely.

Beginning in March 2020, the following steps were undertaken to implement the business transition plan:

March 2020 - Commenced discussions with investor regarding financing options for our company and strategic acquisitions.
April 20, 2020 - Concluded the disposition of the PVBJ subsidiary
May 2020 - Commenced discussions and diligence for an investment in a hydrogen production project in the Netherlands, known as Volt H2
May 18, 2020 - Concluded the disposition of The Pride Group subsidiary
July 2020 - Concluded 2nd and 3rd tranches of debt financing with proceeds earmarked for an investment in Volt H2.
August 12, 2020 - Concluded acquisition of an equity interest in Volt H2
September 30, 2020 – Moved the Company’s headquarters from Dallas, Texas to Jersey City, New Jersey
October 6, 2020 – Changed the company name to Vision Hydrogen Corporation and effected a twenty-for-one reverse stock split of our outstanding common stock
January 2021 – Closed on the sale of 12,500,000 shares of common stock in a registered offering, resulting in gross proceeds of $2.5 million.

With the initial investment into the hydrogen production market via Volt H2, the first step in transitioning our hydrogen business focus has been completed. We now will continue to operate the business in a manner that is aligned with our primary hydrogen business strategy.

Recent Transactions

Sale of PVBJ

On April 21, 2020, we sold PVBJ back to PVBJVoltH2 pursuant to the terms as follows: (a) Benis Holdings applied the $221,800 earn-out liability as consideration towards the purchase of PVBJ; (b) Paul Benis applied the remaining salary due to him, as prorated from the closing date to the expiration date of his employment agreement (January 31, 2021), to the purchase of PVBJ by Benis Holdings as additional consideration thereof, and as a result,which we have no further salary obligation to Paul Benis, who resigned as our executive officer; and (c) as additional consideration for the purchase of PVBJ by Benis Holdings, PVBJ assumed responsibility for the line of credit agreement with Thermo.

Sale of Pride

On May 18, 2020, we executed the Agreement with Turquino providing for our sale of 100% of Pride’s outstanding stock Pride to Turquino in return for Turquino’s assumption of the $550,000 principal balance of Notes and the debt obligations and accrued interest related thereto. In conjunction therewith, Hidalgo and Doyle assigned the notes to Turquino, at which time Turquino became responsible for the debt obligations under the Notes and we had no further note obligations to Hidalgo or Doyle, and we reduced our debt by approximately $600,000, or 65% of the corporate debt obligations. The Agreement provided that the parties mutually release one another and discharge and release the other party (and their respective current and former officers, directors, employees, shareholders, note holders, attorneys, assigns, agents, representatives, predecessors and successors in interest), from any and all claims, demands, obligations, or causes of action.

Volt Investment

On August 12, 2020, pursuant to a Seed Capital Subscription Agreement, we made an equity investment intoacquired VoltH2 Holdings AG (“VoltH2”),. Pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement, we acquired an 84.1% interest of VoltH2, and together with our existing 15.9% ownership interest, we now own 100% of VoltH2. VoltH2 is a Swiss corporation developing scalable greenEuropean-based developer of clean hydrogen production facilities for the supply of commercial off-take volumes of clean hydrogen to manufacturers, gas and power traders, industrial consumers, and both heavy and marine transportation sectors that have pivoted away from carbon emitting energy sources and fuels.

The VoltH2 acquisition was accounted for as an asset acquisition with no step up basis due to the 15.9% ownership of VoltH2 by Vision prior to the acquisition and due to VoltH2 being an early stage company that has not generated revenues and lacks outputs. Since this transaction does not constitute the acquisition of a business, but a transfer of long lived there is no step up in basis. The SEC generally will not permit the recognition of gain in the transferor’s financial statements or a step-up in basis on the transferee’s books for sales or transfers of long-lived assets when related parties are involved. As a result of the Company’s previously held 15.9% interest in VoltH2, it was determined to be a related party. The acquisition consideration consisted of 8,409,0981 shares of Vision Hydrogen Corporation common stock granted on the acquisition date of November 8, 2021 at a closing market price of $11.  A deemed dividend for the excess share price over cost basis of the net assets of ($1,340,426) was recorded in the amount of $93,840,427.

Following our acquisition of VoltH2 , we plan to expand the inventory of prospective development sites for clean  hydrogen production, replicating what has been initiated in Northwestern Europe . We aim to secure development sites at enviable locations that are proximate to existing gas and power infrastructure, within industrial clusters and with access to multi-modal logistics, including road, rail, water, barge, pipeline, for the distribution of hydrogen molecules to off-takers and  end users. The job development cycle of  each site typically ranges 12 months to 36 months, prior to construction, and is largely influenced by local planning, permits, regulations and economic feasibility including the cost of procuring low carbon electrons to supply the future electrolysers, and offtake contracts  for the hydrogen gas. In 2021, two locations have been secured and building and environmental permits have been acquired. Both projects primarily in Europe.are being developed with an estimated final investment decision scheduled for Q4-2022/Q1-2023. Until March 31, 2022, no offtake contract have been signed. The business development team is exploring the market and is negotiating with several off takers also known as end users of hydrogen.

Every project will be integrated into a separate special purpose vehicle (“SPV”)of which VoltH2 Vlissingen B.V., our subsidiary through the acquisition of VoltH2, is currently developing a 25MW greenthe first of two. Our second is Volt H2 Tereneuzen B.V. Our mission is to develop our project in Vlissingen  and Terneuzen, both located in The Netherlands while seeking to identify and secure other strategic locations to expand the concept. This includes the securing of land to develop new projects in different countries.  Germany, Belgium and the Netherlands also have existing large pipeline networks that have been transporting hydrogen for decades. The Belgium, Netherlands and Luxemburg area (Benelux)  has the largest hydrogen network in the world and consumption of hydrogen has reached almost 1.8 million tons of hydrogen per year.

We plan to generate revenue by divesting our projects in full, in part to energy industry participants and/or selling fractional ownership interests in sites under development. In addition, we plan to provide consulting services to other developers, industry participants, and governments focused on hydrogen production site near Vlissingen, Netherlands. The investment was for a total purchase price $175,000, and we received a 17.5% equity interest in VoltH2.

Name and Symbol Change and Reverse Stock Split

We filed a certificate of amendment with the Nevada Secretary of State, which as of effective October 6, 2020, changed our name from H/Cell Energy Corporation to Vision Hydrogen Corporation. In addition, pursuant to that amendment, we effectuated a twenty-for-one reverse stock split of our issued and outstanding common stock. We believe that the name change better represents our vision for the company and communicates our commitment to hydrogen energy. As well, our stock symbol changed from “HCCC” to “VIHD” effective November 2, 2020. All share and per share amounts in this annual report on Form 10-K reflect the reverse stock split.

Public Offering

In October 2020, we filed a registration statement on Form S-1 with the Securities and Exchange Commission, whereby we registered 12.5 million shares of our common stock for saleinfrastructure projects. Lastly, as a company offering. The registration statement was declared effectivelong-term revenue opportunity, we plan to sell hydrogen production once plants are built and commissioned. We are currently in October 2020. In January 2021,discussion with private landowners, such as energy companies, commodity traders, utilities, and industrial process customers. We may also purchase land if we sold all of the shares for gross proceeds of $2.5 million.believe it is practical and economically viable.

Recent Transactions

Acquisition of VoltH2 Holdings AG

On November 8, 2021, we entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with VoltH2 Holdings AG, a Swiss corporation, and the other shareholders of VoltH2 (each, a “Seller”, and together, the “Sellers”) pursuant to which we acquired VoltH2 (the “Acquisition”). VoltH2 is a European-based developer of clean hydrogen production facilities for the supply of commercial offtake volumes of clean hydrogen to manufacturers, gas and power traders, industrial consumers, and both heavy and marine transportation sectors that have pivoted away from carbon emitting energy sources and fuels.

Pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement, we acquired an 84.1% interest of VoltH2, and together with our existing 15.9% ownership interest, we now own 100% of VoltH2. The Acquisition was completed in exchange for 8,409,091 shares of our common stock (the “Consideration Shares”). In connection with the Acquisition, we also entered into an indemnification escrow agreement with one of the Sellers providing for the periodic release of up to 1,768,182 of the Consideration Shares and a pledge and security agreement to grant to us a continuing security interest in the Escrowed Shares to secure such Seller’s indemnity obligations under the Stock Purchase Agreement. As mentioned earlier the acquisition consideration consisted of 8,409,0981 shares of Vision Hydrogen Corporation common stock granted on the acquisition date of November 8, 2021 at a closing market price of $11.  A deemed dividend for the excess share price over cost basis of the net assets of ($1,340,426) was recorded in the amount of $93,840,427.

Market Potential

As the world’s fossil fuel supply continually diminishes while causing harm to the planet, we believe that climate hydrogen is the most reliable alternative to carbon fossil fuels, as it leaves zero greenhouse gas residues and can be used at any time of the day or night, as well as in any weather conditions, unlike renewable energy from solar and wind.

Hydrogen is fast becoming a significant factor in the planning of future energy production and is anticipated by energy analysts to become more widely competitive as an alternative energy source by as early as 2030 as economies of scale drive-down the cost of fuel cells and electrolysers with the addition of lower costs for wind and solar power. According to the Grand View ResearchInternational Energy Agency report on future hydrogen growth, published in February 2020,north-western Europe the region is well placed to lead hydrogen adoption as a clean energy vector. Today, this region concentrates around 5% of global hydrogen marketdemand and 60% of European demand. Moreover, the region is expectedhome to reach $154 billion by 2027.the largest industrial ports in Europe, where much of this hydrogen demand is located, and presents a well-developed natural gas infrastructure connecting these ports with other industrial hubs. This gas network could be partially repurposed to facilitate hydrogen delivery from production sites to demand centers. Governments in this region also have ambitious goals for greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reduction and strong political interest in hydrogen as an opportunity to maintain industrial activity in the region.

Technology Overview

There are great benefits to hydrogen energy.energy such as being used as fuel for transportation and electricity. The use of hydrogen as a fuel produces no carbon dioxide or other greenhouse gases. Unlike fossil fuels, the sole emission from hydrogen fuel is chemically pure water. Hydrogen can be extracted from water using renewable energy from the sun and unlike batteries, hydrogen energy can be stored indefinitely. There is no drilling, fracking or mining required to produce hydrogen energy. We believe it is safe and efficient, and the cleanest energy source on the planet.

Hydrogen can be produced from a large number of primary energy sources and by various technical processes. Electrolysis is the cleanest option for hydrogen production from renewable resources. Electrolysis is the process of using electricity to split water into hydrogen and oxygen. Electrolysis occurs through the use of an electrolyzer, which can range in size from a small unit suited for low end hydrogen production to large-scale units for central production facilities that could be tied directly to renewable or other non-greenhouse, gas emitting forms of electricity production.Competition

Developments in electrolyzer technology have allowed for a reduction in research and development requirements with a stable network of suppliers for turn-key equipment solutions. The key inputs to hydrogen production are water and electricity supply, as such, proximity to both is essential. Electrolyzers, and the various ancillary components can be purchased from various suppliers as pre-built packages. They will be assembled at our sites with the assistance of the suppliers, but will not require in-house technical knowledge for the assembly.

Growth Strategy

We intend to aggressively grow our business, through investments and acquisition of strategic target sites. Investment opportunities and target sites will be strategically positioned for power supply, storage, transportation, and fueling infrastructure in geographic regions that have customer and government support for hydrogen markets. Target customers will be industrial users, fleet operators, and various industries looking to replace and/or offset their current carbon-based energy consumption. Delivery and logistics will be unique to each site, but may involve pipeline, rail, and truck supplies.

Competition

Given the increasing focus on renewable energy, and hydrogen specifically, to offset the environmental problems caused by fossil fuels, the renewable energy industry is highly competitive, and rapidly evolving. Our major competitors include leading global companies, and other regional and local energy providers.

In Northwestern Europe, the markets where we plan to conduct business, we will compete with many energy producers including electric utilities and large independent power producers. There is also competition from fossil fuel sources such as natural gas and coal, and other renewable energy sources such as solar and wind. The competition depends on the resources available within the specific markets. However, we believe that our target approach will allow us to compete favorably with traditional utilities and other renewable energy systems in the regions we service.

Although the cost to produce clean, reliable,market for green hydrogen or hydrogen produced by renewable energy is becoming more competitivegrowing. Vision is the first adapter in the Benelux with traditional fossil fuel sources, it generally remains more expensivetwo projects. Recently, RWE Renewables Co. has started the third project development in The Netherlands. Other energy companies are eager to produce,start hydrogen production facilities. As an early adapter, Vision can and the reliability of its supply is less consistent than traditional fossil fuel. Deregulation and consumer preference are becoming important factorswill have a guiding role in increasing the development of renewable energy projects.green hydrogen. The current demand for hydrogen outnumbers the scheduled production for the next five to ten years. We believe that all competitors will face a high demand.

However, as a company with only a short operating history, substantially all of our competitors have advantages over us in terms of greater operational, financial, technical, management or other resources in particular markets or in general.

Government Regulations; Regulatory Matters

GivenOur business activities require compliance with government and provisional regulations, including environmental regulations. Each plant must adhere to specific regulatory requirements of the industrial nature of our planned operations, water access restrictions,permits. Without environmental permits and high level of electricity needs, we expect to operate in an area that is highly regulated by localbeing compliant with international environmental and possibly national government bodies. We anticipate that our operationshealth safety and environmental standards, projects cannot reach the engineering, procurement and construction phase at will be subject to oversight and regulation at the federal, state and local level in accordance with statutes and ordinances relating to, among others, building codes, fire codes, public safety, electrical and gas pipeline connections and hydrogen siting. The level of regulation may depend, in part, upon where a system is located.final investment decision.

Other than these requirements, at this time we do not know what additional requirements, if any, each jurisdiction will impose on our operations. We also do not know the extent to which any new regulations may impact our ability to distribute, install and service our products. The federal, state, local or foreign government entities may seek to impose regulations or competitors may seek to influence regulations through lobbying efforts.

Government Incentives

We intend to focus on states on regions whose government supports a regulatory standard that promotes hydrogen production and consumption. These governments have established various incentives and financial mechanisms to accelerate and promote the use of hydrogen as renewable energy sources. These incentives may take the form of support for infrastructure and hydrogen transportation versus monetary incentives. The Netherlands, Germany, and Belgium  have announced plans to support the development of green hydrogen initiatives. For example, in June 2020, as part of its economic COVID-19 stimulus package, Germany announced €9.0 billion of funding earmarked for expansion of hydrogen production. Funding is still to be determined, but specific areas could include, infrastructure conversions and new pipeline development. Pursuant to its “European Green Deal”, the EU has set the objective to become climate-neutral by 2050. This means that emissions of GHG must not exceed GHG removals and implies a phase-out of fossil fuels in the EU energy system. While renewable electricity can replace fossil fuels in many uses, it cannot easily replace them completely in road freight, shipping and aviation, or in industrial activities such as steel production, where fossil fuels are used as an energy source and as a reactant. However, hydrogen can play an important role in achieving climate neutrality in these areas. In The Netherlands, the government is developing a new subsidy scheme, called “Opschalingsinstrument Waterstof”, which is to be specially designed for developing green hydrogen facilities with a capacity from 5MW to 50MW. Details will be published in the summer of 2022 and application will be available in Q3/Q4 2022. With the current available information regarding this subsidy, Vision has the intention but cannot provide any assurances that we will apply for the Dutch projects. 

Employees

As of March 11, 2021,31, 2022, we had  twonine full-time employees, which are our executive officers.employees. We plan to hire employees on an as-needed basis. None of our employees are represented by a labor union,unions, and we believe that our relations with our employees are good.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Risks Related to Our Financial Position and Need for Additional Capital

We have a short operating history and have generated minimal revenue to date. This makes it difficult to evaluate our future prospects and increases the risk that we will not be successful.

We were incorporated in August 2015, have been operating for less than sixseven years, and have recently sold off our operating subsidiaries as we look to pivot our business plan. Those operating subsidiaries generated all of our revenue, and we have never generated revenue from other sources. As a result, we have a very limited operating history for you to evaluate in assessing our future prospects. We are subject to all risks inherent in a developing business enterprise. Our likelihood of continued success must be considered in light of the problems, expenses, difficulties, complications, and delays frequently encountered in connection with the services industry and the competitive and regulatory environment in which we operate. As a new industry, there are few established companies whose business models we can follow. Similarly, there is little information about comparable companies for potential investors to review in making a decision about whether to invest in the Company.

Potential investors should consider, among other factors, our prospects for success in light of the risks and uncertainties generally encountered by companies that, like us, are in their early stages. We may not successfully address these risks and uncertainties or successfully implement our operating strategies. If we fail to do so, it could materially harm our business to the point of having to cease operations and could impair the value of our common stock to the point investors may lose their entire investment.

 

We expect to incur significant losses for the foreseeable future and may never achieve or maintain profitability.

Investment in our company is highly speculative because it entails substantial upfront capital expenditures and significant risk that, as a company in a new industry, we may never become commercially viable. We have sold off all of our operating subsidiaries that generated any revenues, and we cannot estimate with precision the extent of our future losses. For the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, our net losses were approximately $1,400,000 and $700,000, respectively. As of December 31, 2020, we had an accumulated deficit of $3.5 million. We expect to incur operating losses for the foreseeable future as we execute our plan to focus on acquiring or developing hydrogen production on a plant-size scale. As a result, we expect to continue to incur significant operating losses and negative cash flows for the foreseeable future. These losses have had and will continue to have an adverse effect on our financial position and working capital.

To become and remain profitable, we must develop or acquire hydrogen production on a plant-size scale with significant market potential. This will require us to be successful in a range of challenging activities, including identifying and acquiring target sites, developing the necessary infrastructure at sites for delivery and logistics, obtaining governmental approvals, acquiring customers and marketing our services. We may never succeed in these activities and, even if we succeed, we may never generate revenues that are significant enough to achieve profitability. In addition, as a young business, we may encounter unforeseen expenses, difficulties, complications, delays and other known and unknown challenges. Furthermore, because of the numerous risks and uncertainties associated with entering a nascent market, we are unable to accurately predict the timing or amount of increased expenses or when, or if, we will be able to achieve profitability. If we do achieve profitability, we may not be able to sustain or increase profitability on a quarterly or annual basis and we may continue to incur substantial development and other expenditures to acquire and build out additional sites. Our failure to become and remain profitable would decrease the value of the company and could impair our ability to raise capital, maintain our development efforts, expand our business or continue our operations. A decline in the value of our company could also cause you to lose all or part of your investment.

 

6

To execute our overall business strategy, we will likely require additional working capital, which may not be available on terms favorable to us or at all. If additional capital is not available or is available at unattractive terms, we may be forced to delay, reduce the scope of or eliminate our operations.

We have an ambitious business plan for strong growth of our business, which will likely require us to raise additional financing to supplement our cash flows from operations to fully execute. We intend to use proceeds from our recent public offering to implement our business strategy. We expect that we will require additional financing to execute our business strategy. To the extent we raise additional capital through the sale of equity securities, the issuance of those securities could result in dilution to our shareholders. In addition, if we obtain debt financing, a substantial portion of our operating cash flow may be dedicated to the payment of principal and interest on such indebtedness, thus limiting funds available for our business activities. If adequate funds are not available, we may be required to reduce our marketing and sales efforts or reduce or curtail our operations.

There can be no assurance that if we were to need additional funds to meet obligations we have incurred, or may incur in the future, that additional financing arrangements would be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to us, if at all. Furthermore, if adequate additional funds are not available, we may be required to delay, reduce the scope of, or eliminate material parts of the implementation of our business strategy.

Risks Related to Our Company and Our Business

If hydrogen energy technology is not suitable for widespread adoption at economically attractive rates of return or if sufficient additional demand for hydrogen energy systems does not develop or takes longer to develop than we anticipate, we may not achieve significant net sales and we may be unable to obtain or sustain profitability.

In comparison to fossil fuel-based electricity generation, the hydrogen energy market is at an early stage of development. If hydrogen technology proves unsuitable for widespread adoption at economically attractive rates of return or if additional demand for hydrogen energy systems fails to develop sufficiently or takes longer to develop than we anticipate, we may be unable to grow our business or generate sufficient net sales to obtain profitability. In addition, demand for hydrogen energy systems in our targeted markets may develop to a lesser extent than we anticipate. Many factors may affect the viability of widespread adoption of hydrogen energy technology and demand for hydrogen energy systems, including the following:

cost-effectiveness of the electricity generated by hydrogen energy systems compared to conventional energy sources, such as natural gas and coal (which fuel sources may be subject to significant price fluctuations from time to time), and other non-solar renewable energy sources, such as solar or wind;
performance, reliability, and availability of energy generated by hydrogen energy systems compared to conventional and other renewable energy sources and products, particularly conventional energy generation capable of providing 24-hour, non-intermittent baseload power;
success of other renewable energy generation technologies, such as solar, hydroelectric, tidal, wind, geothermal, and biomass;
fluctuations in economic and market conditions that affect the price of, and demand for, conventional and non-solar renewable energy sources, such as increases or decreases in the prices of natural gas, coal, oil, and other fossil fuels;
fluctuations in capital expenditures by end-users of renewable energy systems, which tend to decrease when the economy slows and when interest rates increase; and
availability, substance, and magnitude of support programs including government targets, subsidies, incentives, and renewable portfolio standards to accelerate the development of the hydrogen energy industry.

We have no experience manufacturing hydrogen fuel on a commercial basis.

To date, we have no experience manufacturing hydrogen fuel on a commercial basis and our experience has been limited to developing systems for residential hydrogen energy purposes. We cannot be sure that we will be able to develop efficient, low-cost, high-volume automated processes that will enable us to meet our development goals. Once operational, we cannot be sure that we will be able to achieve any planned increases in production capacity or that unforeseen problems relating to our manufacturing processes will not occur. Even if we are successful in developing high-volume automated processes and achieving planned increases in production capacity, we cannot be sure that we will do so in time to meet our product commercialization schedule or to satisfy customer demand. If our business does not grow as quickly as anticipated, our planned manufacturing facilities would, in part, represent excess capacity for which we may not recover the cost, in which case our revenues may be inadequate to support our committed costs and planned growth, and our gross margins and business strategy would be adversely affected. Any of these factors could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial performance.

We may be unable to successfully identify, execute or effectively integrate acquisitions, or effectively disentangle divested businesses.

Our ability to generate revenue, earnings, and cash flow at anticipated rates depends in large part on our ability to identify, successfully acquire and integrate businesses and assets at appropriate prices, and realize expected growth, synergies, and operating efficiencies. We may not be able to complete transactions on favorable terms, on a timely basis or at all. In addition, our results of operations and cash flows may be adversely impacted by the failure of acquired businesses or assets to meet expected returns, the failure to integrate acquired businesses, and the discovery of unanticipated liabilities or other problems in acquired businesses or assets for which we lack adequate contractual protections or insurance. In addition, we may incur asset impairment charges related to acquisitions that do not meet expectations.

We continually assess the strategic fit of our existing businesses and may divest businesses that are deemed not to fit with our strategic plan or are not achieving the desired return on investment. For example, earlier this year, we decided to sell both our subsidiaries because they were not producing enough profit and were not a strategic fit with our goal of developing the market for hydrogen energy systems. These transactions pose risks and challenges that could negatively impact our business and financial statements. For example, when we decide to sell or otherwise dispose of a business or assets, we may be unable to do so on satisfactory terms within our anticipated time frame or at all. In addition, divestitures or other dispositions may dilute our earnings per share, have other adverse financial and accounting impacts, distract management, and give rise to disputes with buyers. In addition, we have agreed, and may in the future agree, to indemnify buyers against known and unknown contingent liabilities. Our financial results could be impacted adversely by claims under these indemnities.

6

Delays in or not completing our product development goals may adversely affect our revenue and profitability.

If we experience delays in meeting our development goals, our products exhibit technical defects, or if we are unable to meet cost or performance goals, including power output, useful life and reliability, the profitable commercialization of our products will be delayed. In this event, potential purchasers of our products may choose alternative technologies and any delays could allow potential competitors to gain market advantages. We cannot assure that we will successfully meet our commercialization schedule in the future, or at all.

We currently do not have any commercially viable products or services at this time, and we do not know when or whether we will successfully complete research and development of a commercially viable product, which is critical to our future. If we are unable to develop commercially viable products, we will not be able to generate sufficient revenue to become profitable. The commercialization of our products requires achievement and verification of their overall reliability, efficiency and safety targets, and we cannot assure you that we will be able to develop, acquire or license the technology necessary to achieve these targets. We must undertake research and development in order to manufacture commercially viable products in commercial quantities.

We may not be able to sell our products on a commercially viable basis on the timetable we anticipate, or at all.

We cannot guarantee that we will be able to develop commercially viable hydrogen fuel production on a plant-size scale on the timetable we anticipate, or at all. We will need to acquire production facilities, develop and install the systems to produce and store hydrogen gas, and develop delivery systems on a commercial volume. It also depends upon our ability to reduce the costs of our products and services, since they are currently more expensive than products based on existing technologies, such as internal combustion engines and batteries. We may not be able to sufficiently reduce the cost of these products without reducing their performance, reliability and durability, which would adversely affect the willingness of consumers to buy our products. We cannot guarantee that we will be able to internally develop the facilities and systems to sell hydrogen fuel on a commercially viable basis.

A mass market for our products may never develop or may take longer to develop than we anticipate.

Hydrogen fuel production represents an emerging market, and we do not know whether there will be a sufficient number of end-users that will want to use it in commercial volumes. In such emerging markets, demand and market acceptance for recently introduced products and services are subject to a high level of uncertainty and risk. The development of a mass market for hydrogen fuel production may be affected by many factors, some of which are beyond our control, including the emergence of newer, more competitive technologies and products, the cost of fuels used by our customers, regulatory requirements, consumer perceptions of the safety of our products and related fuels, and end-user reluctance to buy a new product.

If a mass market fails to develop, or develops more slowly than we anticipate, we may never achieve profitability. In addition, we cannot guarantee that we will continue to develop, manufacture or market our products if sales levels do not support the continuation of the product.

The hydrogen energy industry competes with both conventional power industries and other renewable power industries.

The hydrogen energy industry faces intense competition from companies in the energy industry, such as nuclear, natural gas and fossil fuels as well as other renewable energy providers, including solar, biomass and wind. Other energy sources may benefit from innovations that reduce costs, increase safety or otherwise improve their competitiveness. New natural resources may be discovered, or global economic, business or political developments may disproportionately benefit conventional energy sources. Governments may support certain renewable energy sources and not support hydrogen energy. If we cannot compete with the providers of other energy sources, it may materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

We face strong competition from other energy companies, including traditional and renewable providers.

The energy provider business is competitive. Our competitors range in size from small companies to large multinational corporations. Our main competitors vary by region and energy services offered. We compete against other renewable energy providers that offer solar and wind, as well as traditional electricity providers. Almost all of our competitors have greater financial and other resources than we do and may be able to grow more quickly or better respond to changing business and economic conditions. Many of our competitors also have greater access to capital and we may not be able to compete successfully with them.

 

The industry in which we operate has relatively low barriers to entry and increased competition could result in margin erosion, which would make profitability even more difficult to sustain.

Other than the technical skills required in our business, the barriers to entry in our business are relatively low. We do not have any intellectual property rights to protect our business methods and business start-up costs do not pose a significant barrier to entry. The success of our business is dependent on our employees, customer relations and the successful performance of our services. If we face increased competition as a result of new entrants in our markets, we could experience reduced operating margins and loss of market share and brand recognition.

7

Our lack of diversification will increase the risk of an investment in us, and our financial condition and results of operations may deteriorate if we fail to diversify.

Our current business focuses primarily on one area of the renewable energy space, the hydrogen energy sector. Larger companies have the ability to manage their risk by diversification. However, we currently lack diversification, specifically in terms of the nature of our business. As a result, we will likely be impacted more acutely by factors affecting our industry and sector in which we operate, than we would if our business were more diversified, enhancing our risk profile.

If we fail to successfully introduce new products or services, we may lose market position.

New products, product improvements, line extensions or new services will be an important factor in our sales growth. If we fail to identify emerging technological trends, to maintain and improve the competitiveness of our existing products and services or to successfully introduce new products or services on a timely basis, we may lose market position.

We are subject to operating and litigation risks that may not be covered by insurance.

Our business operations are subject to all of the operating hazards and risks normally incidental to the implementation of systems involving combustible products, such as liquefied petroleum gases, propane, natural gas and hydrogen gas, and the generation of electricity. Accidents involving our hydrogen energy systems, including leaks, ruptures, fires, explosions, sabotage and mechanical problems, could result in substantial losses due to personal injury and/or loss of life, and severe damage to and destruction of property and equipment arising from explosions and other catastrophic events. If such accidents were to occur, we could face lawsuits from our clients alleging that we were responsible for such accidents. There can be no assurance that our insurance will be adequate to protect us from all material expenses related to future claims or that such levels of insurance will be available in the future at economical prices.

 

9

Global economic uncertainty and financial market volatility caused by political instability, changes in international trade relationships and conflicts, such as the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, could make it more difficult for us to access financing and could adversely affect our business and operations.

Our ability to raise capital is subject to the risk of adverse changes in the market value of our stock. Periods of macroeconomic weakness or recession and heightened market volatility caused by adverse geopolitical developments could increase these risks, potentially resulting in adverse impacts on our ability to raise further capital on favorable terms. The impact of geopolitical tension, such as a deterioration in the bilateral relationship between the US and China or an escalation in conflict between Russia and Ukraine, including any resulting sanctions, export controls or other restrictive actions that may be imposed by the US and/or other countries against governmental or other entities in, for example, Russia, also could lead to disruption, instability and volatility in global trade patterns, which may in turn impact our ability to source necessary reagents, raw materials and other inputs for our research and development operations.

We may be adversely affected by the effects of inflation.

Inflation has the potential to adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial position and liquidity by increasing our overall cost structure, particularly if we are unable to achieve commensurate increases in the prices we charge our customers. The existence of inflation in the economy has the potential to result in higher interest rates and capital costs, supply shortages, increased costs of labor and other similar effects. As a result of inflation, we may experience increases in the costs of labor, materials, and other inputs, such as engineering consultants. Although we may take measures to mitigate the impact of this inflation through [pricing actions and] efficiency gains, if these measures are not effective our business, results of operations, financial position and liquidity could be materially adversely affected. Even if such measures are effective, there could be a difference between the timing of when these beneficial actions impact our results of operations and when the cost inflation is incurred. [Additionally, the pricing actions we take could result in a decrease in market share.]

Risks Related to Governmental Regulation

The reduction or elimination of government subsidies and economic incentives for alternative energy technologies, or the failure to renew such subsidies and incentives could reduce demand for our products, lead to a reduction in our revenues and adversely impact our operating results and liquidity.

We believe that the near-term growth of alternative energy technologies, including hydrogen energy, is affected by the availability and size of government and economic incentives. Many of these government incentives expire, phase out over time, may exhaust the allocated funding, or require renewal by the applicable authority. In addition, these incentive programs could be reduced or discontinued for other reasons. The reduction, elimination, or expiration of an investment tax credit or other government subsidies and economic incentives, or the failure to renew such tax credit, governmental subsidies, or economic incentives, may result in the diminished economic competitiveness of our planned products to our customers and could materially and adversely affect the growth of alternative energy technologies, including our planned products, as well as our future operating results and liquidity.

8

Our business may become subject to increased government regulation.

Our planned products are expected to be subject to certain federal, local, and non-U.S. laws and regulations, including, for example, state and local ordinances relating to building codes, public safety, electrical and gas pipeline connections, hydrogen transportation and siting and related matters. See “Business— Government Regulations; Regulatory Matters” for additional information. In certain jurisdictions, these regulatory requirements may be more stringent than those in the United States. Further, as products are introduced into the market commercially, governments may impose new regulations. We do not know the extent to which any such regulations may impact our ability to manufacture, distribute, install and service our products. Any regulation of our products, whether at the federal, state, local or foreign level, including any regulations relating to the production, operation, installation, and servicing of our products may increase our costs and the price of our products, and noncompliance with applicable laws and regulations could subject us to investigations, sanctions, enforcement actions, fines, damages, civil and criminal penalties or injunctions. If any governmental sanctions are imposed, our business, operating results, and financial condition could be materially adversely affected. In addition, responding to any action will likely result in a significant diversion of management’s attention and resources and an increase in professional fees. Enforcement actions and sanctions could harm our business, operating results and financial condition.

For as long as we are an emerging growth company, we will not be required to comply with certain reporting requirements, including those relating to accounting standards and disclosure about our executive compensation, that apply to other public companies.

In April 2012, the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act, or the JOBS Act, was signed into law. The JOBS Act contains provisions that, among other things, relax certain reporting requirements for “emerging growth companies,” including certain requirements relating to accounting standards and compensation disclosure. We are classified as an emerging growth company. For as long as we are an emerging growth company, which may be up to five full fiscal years, unlike other public companies, we will not be required to, among other things, (1) provide an auditor’s attestation report on management’s assessment of the effectiveness of our system of internal control over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes Oxley Act of 2002, (2) comply with any new requirements adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, or the PCAOB, requiring mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the auditor’s report in which the auditor would be required to provide additional information about the audit and the financial statements of the issuer, (3) comply with any new audit rules adopted by the PCAOB after April 5, 2012 unless the SEC determines otherwise, (4) provide certain disclosure regarding executive compensation required of larger public companies or (5) hold unit holder advisory votes on executive compensation.

Risks Related to Employees, Managing Our Growth and Other Legal Matters

 

We are highly dependent on the services of our key personnel.

We are highly dependent on the services of our key personnel, Andre Jurres, Andrew Hidalgo,Hromyk and Arron Smyth who servesserve as our ChiefCo-Chief Executive OfficerOfficers, Executive Vice President and Matthew Hidalgo, who serves as our Chief Financial Officer, both of whom are our only full-time employees. WeOfficer. Andre Jurres has an employment contract through December 31 2022 and we have no longer have agreements with themAndrew Hromyk, Arron Smyth, or Matthew Hidalgo regarding their employment, and each of them may terminate their employment with us at any time, though we are not aware of any present intention of any of these individuals to leave us.

 

We expect to expand our development and operational capabilities and, as a result, we may encounter difficulties in managing our growth, which could disrupt our operations.

As of December 31, 2020,2021, we had only twonine full-time employees. As we identify and develop site, we expect to experience significant growth in the number of our employees and the scope of our operations, particularly in the area of sales and marketing. To manage our anticipated future growth, we must:

identify, recruit integrate, maintain and motivate additional qualified personnel;
identify and lease additional facilities;
   
identify and lease additional facilities;
manage our development efforts effectively, including the identification, acquisition and development of hydrogen production on a plant-size scale; and
   
improve our operational, financial and management controls, reporting systems and procedures.

Our future financial performance and our ability to identify, acquire and develop hydrogen production on a plant-size scale will depend, in part, on our ability to effectively manage any future growth, and our management may also have to divert financial and other resources, and a disproportionate amount of its attention away from day-to-day activities in order to devote a substantial amount of time, to managing these growth activities. If we are not able to effectively expand our organization, we may not achieve our development goals.

Our ability to use our net operating loss carryforwards and certain other tax attributes may be limited.

As of December 31, 2020,2021, we had aggregate U.S. federal net operating loss, or NOL, carryforwards of approximately $1,327,000.$2,166,500 million. Our U.S. federal NOLs generated in taxable years ending prior to 2018 could expire unused. Under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, as modified by the CARES Act, U.S. federal NOLs incurred in taxable years beginning after December 31, 2017 may be carried forward indefinitely, but the deductibility of such U.S. federal NOLs in tax years beginning after December 31, 2017 is generally limited to 80% of taxable income. It is uncertain if and to what extent various states will conform to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act or the CARES Act.

 

9

In addition, under Sections 382 and 383 of the Code and corresponding provisions of state law, if a corporation undergoes an “ownership change,” which is generally defined as a greater than 50% change (by value) in its equity ownership over a three-year period, the corporation’s ability to use its pre-change NOL carryforwards and other pre-change tax attributes (such as research tax credits) to offset its post-change income may be limited. It is possible that we have experienced one or more ownership changes in the past. In addition, we may also experience ownership changes in the future as a result of subsequent shifts in our stock ownership some of which may be outside of our control. As a result, if we earn net taxable income, our ability to use our pre-ownership change NOL carryforwards to offset U.S. federal taxable income may be subject to limitations, which could potentially result in increased future tax liability to us. In addition, at the state level, there may be periods during which the use of NOLs is suspended or otherwise limited, which could accelerate or permanently increase state taxes owed.

Risks Related to Ownership of Our Common Stock

Our officers, directors and principal shareholders will own a controlling interest in our voting stock and investors will not have any voice in our management.

As of March 11,31, 2021, our officers, directors and principal shareholders, in the aggregate, beneficially own or control the votes of approximately 32.7%59.12% of our outstanding common stock. As a result, these stockholders, acting together, will have the ability to control substantially influence all matters submitted to our stockholders for approval, including:

election of our board of directors;
removal of any of our directors;
amendment of our articles of incorporation or bylaws; and
adoption of measures that could delay or prevent a change in control or impede a merger, takeover or other business combination involving us.

As a result of their ownership and positions, our directors, executive officers and principal shareholders collectively are able to influence all matters requiring stockholder approval, including the election of directors and approval of significant corporate transactions. In addition, sales of significant amounts of shares held by our directors, executive officers or principal shareholders, or the prospect of these sales, could adversely affect the market price of our common stock. Management’s stock ownership may discourage a potential acquirer from making a tender offer or otherwise attempting to obtain control of us, which in turn could reduce our stock price or prevent our stockholders from realizing a premium over our stock price.

We may raise capital through the sale of our securities in either private placements or a public offering, which offerings would dilute the ownership of existing shareholders.

If our operations require additional capital in the future, we may sell additional share of our common stock and/or securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for shares of our common stock. Such offerings may be in private placements or a public offering. If we conduct such additional offerings, existing stockholders would experience dilution of their ownership of the Company.

11

You may experience dilution of your ownership interests because of the future issuance of additional shares of our common or preferred stock or other securities that are convertible into or exercisable for our common or preferred stock.

In the future, we may issue our authorized but previously unissued equity securities, resulting in the dilution of the ownership interests of our present stockholders. We are authorized to issue an aggregate of 100,000,000 shares of common stock and 5,000,000 shares of “blank check” preferred stock. We may issue additional shares of our common stock or other securities that are convertible into or exercisable for our common stock in connection with hiring or retaining employees, future acquisitions, future sales of our securities for capital raising purposes, or for other business purposes. The future issuance of any such additional shares of our common stock may create downward pressure on the trading price of the common stock. We will likely need to raise additional capital in the near future to meet our working capital needs, and there can be no assurance that we will not be required to issue additional shares, warrants or other convertible securities in the future in conjunction with these capital raising efforts, including at a price (or exercise or conversion prices) that could be below the price an investor paid for stock.

There has been a limited trading market for our common stock and limited market activity to date.

10

Currently, our common stock is available for quotation on the OTCQB Market under the symbol “VIHD”. However, our stock only became eligible for quotation in November 2017 and prior to February 2017, there was no trading activity in our common stock and there has been limited trading activity to date.

You may have difficulty trading and obtaining quotations for our common stock.

Our common stock is not actively traded, and the bid and asked prices for our common stock on the OTCQB Market may fluctuate widely. It is anticipated that there will remain a limited trading market for the common stock on the OTCQB. The lack of an active market may impair your ability to obtain accurate quotations of the price of our common stock, or sell your shares at the time you wish to sell them or at a price that you consider reasonable. The lack of an active market may also reduce the fair market value of your shares. An inactive market may also impair our ability to raise capital by selling shares of capital stock and may impair our ability to acquire other companies by using common stock as consideration.

Our common stock is not currently traded at high volume, and you may be unable to sell at or near ask prices or at all if you need to sell or liquidate a substantial number of shares at one time.

Our common stock is currently traded, but with very low if any, volume, based on quotations on the OTCQB Market, meaning that the number of persons interested in purchasing our common stock at or near bid prices at any given time may be relatively small or non-existent. During the year ended December 31, 2020,2021, there was an average of approximately 296251 shares traded per trading day, with no trading on 108101 of 253 trading days. This situation is attributable to a number of factors, including the fact that we are a small company which is still relatively unknown to stock analysts, stock brokers, institutional investors and others in the investment community that generate or influence sales volume, and that even if we came to the attention of such persons, they tend to be risk-averse and would be reluctant to follow an unproven company such as ours or purchase or recommend the purchase of our shares until such time as we became more seasoned and viable. As a consequence, there may be periods of several days or more when trading activity in our shares is minimal or non-existent, as compared to a seasoned issuer which has a large and steady volume of trading activity that will generally support continuous sales without an adverse effect on share price. We cannot give you any assurance that a broader or more active public trading market for our common stock will develop or be sustained, or that trading levels will be sustained.

Shareholders should be aware that, according to Commission Release No. 34-29093, the market for “penny stocks” has suffered in recent years from patterns of fraud and abuse. Such patterns include (1) control of the market for the security by one or a few broker-dealers that are often related to the promoter or issuer; (2) manipulation of prices through prearranged matching of purchases and sales and false and misleading press releases; (3) boiler room practices involving high-pressure sales tactics and unrealistic price projections by inexperienced sales persons; (4) excessive and undisclosed bid-ask differential and markups by selling broker-dealers; and (5) the wholesale dumping of the same securities by promoters and broker-dealers after prices have been manipulated to a desired level, along with the resulting inevitable collapse of those prices and with consequent investor losses. Our management is aware of the abuses that have occurred historically in the penny stock market. Although we do not expect to be in a position to dictate the behavior of the market or of broker-dealers who participate in the market, management will strive within the confines of practical limitations to prevent the described patterns from being established with respect to our securities. The occurrence of these patterns or practices could increase the future volatility of our share price.

We have implemented a reverse stock split, which will likely reduce our trading volume and may result in a decrease in our market capitalization.

Effective October 6, 2020, we implemented a one-for-twenty reverse stock split. This reverse stock split was implemented to increase the per share market price of our common stock to make it more attractive to potential investors.

We cannot guarantee that the price increase of our common stock price resulting from the reverse split will:

be proportionate to the reverse split ratio;
last in the marketplace for any length of time;
maintain the total market capitalization of our common stock outstanding before the reverse split; or
be sufficient to facilitate raising capital.

The market price of our common stock may, and is likely to continue to be, highly volatile and subject to wide fluctuations.

The market price of our common stock is likely to be highly volatile and could be subject to wide fluctuations in response to a number of factors that are beyond our control, including:

dilution caused by our issuance of additional shares of common stock and other forms of equity securities, which we expect to make in connection with future capital financings to fund our operations and growth, to attract and retain valuable personnel and in connection with future strategic partnerships or acquisitions of other companies;
quarterly variations in our revenues and operating expenses;
changes in the valuation of similarly situated companies, both in our industry and in other industries;
changes in analysts’ estimates affecting our company, our competitors and/or our industry;
changes in the accounting methods used in or otherwise affecting our industry;
additions and departures of key personnel;
announcements of technological innovations or new technologies or services available to the renewable energy industry;
fluctuations in interest rates and the availability of capital in the capital markets; and
significant sales of our common stock.

These and other factors are largely beyond our control, and the impact of these risks, singly or in the aggregate, may result in material adverse changes to the market price of our Common Stock and/or our results of operations and financial condition.

11

The rights of the holders of common stock may be impaired by the potential issuance of preferred stock.

Our articles of incorporation give our board of directors the right to create new series of preferred stock. As a result, the board of directors may, without stockholder approval, issue preferred stock with voting, dividend, conversion, liquidation or other rights which could adversely affect the voting power and equity interest of the holders of common stock. Preferred stock, which could be issued with the right to more than one vote per share, could be utilized as a method of discouraging, delaying or preventing a change of control. The possible impact on takeover attempts could adversely affect the price of our common stock. Although we have no present intention to issue any shares of preferred stock or to create a series of preferred stock, we may issue such shares in the future.

Offers or availability for sale of a substantial number of shares of our common stock may cause the price of our common stock to decline.

If our stockholders sell substantial amounts of our common stock in the public market, including upon the expiration of any lockup periods or the statutory holding period under Rule 144, or issued upon the conversion of preferred stock, it could create a circumstance commonly referred to as an “overhang” and in anticipation of which the market price of our common stock could fall. The existence of an overhang, whether or not sales have occurred or are occurring, also could make more difficult our ability to raise additional financing through the sale of equity or equity-related securities in the future at a time and price that we deem reasonable or appropriate.

Our common stock is subject to the “Penny Stock” rules of the SEC and the trading market in our securities will be limited, which makes transactions in our common stock cumbersome and may reduce the value of an investment in our common stock.

Rule 15g-9 under the Exchange Act establishes the definition of a “penny stock,” for the purposes relevant to us, as any equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share or with an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. For any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the rules require: (a) that a broker or dealer approve a person’s account for transactions in penny stocks; and (b) the broker or dealer receive from the investor a written agreement to the transaction, setting forth the identity and quantity of the penny stock to be purchased.

In order to approve a person’s account for transactions in penny stocks, the broker or dealer must: (a) obtain financial information and investment experience objectives of the person and (b) make a reasonable determination that the transactions in penny stocks are suitable for that person and the person has sufficient knowledge and experience in financial matters to be capable of evaluating the risks of transactions in penny stocks.

The broker or dealer must also deliver, prior to any transaction in a penny stock, a disclosure schedule prescribed by the SEC relating to the penny stock market, which, in highlight form: (a) sets forth the basis on which the broker or dealer made the suitability determination; and (b) confirms that the broker or dealer received a signed, written agreement from the investor prior to the transaction. Generally, brokers may be less willing to execute transactions in securities subject to the “penny stock” rules. This may make it more difficult for investors to dispose of our common stock and cause a decline in the market value of our common stock.

Disclosure also has to be made about the risks of investing in penny stocks in both public offerings and in secondary trading and about the commissions payable to both the broker or dealer and the registered representative, current quotations for the securities and the rights and remedies available to an investor in cases of fraud in penny stock transactions. Finally, monthly statements have to be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stocks.

FINRA sales practice requirements may also limit a shareholder’s ability to buy and sell our stock.

In addition to the “penny stock” rules described above, FINRA has adopted rules that require that in recommending an investment to a customer, a broker-dealer must have reasonable grounds for believing that the investment is suitable for that customer. Prior to recommending speculative low priced securities to their non-institutional customers, broker-dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtain information about the customer’s financial status, tax status, investment objectives and other information. Under interpretations of these rules, FINRA believes that there is a high probability that speculative low priced securities will not be suitable for at least some customers. The FINRA requirements make it more difficult for broker-dealers to recommend that their customers buy our common stock, which may limit your ability to buy and sell our stock and have an adverse effect on the market for our shares.

General Risk Factors

 

Our business may be negatively affected by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and any future outbreaks of disease.

Our business, financial position, results of operations or cash flows may be affected by the ongoing global COVID-19 pandemic and the resulting volatility and uncertainty it has caused, and is likely to continue to cause, in the U.S. and international markets, including as a result of prolonged economic downturn or recession. In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the COVID-19 outbreak a pandemic and recommended containment and mitigation measures worldwide. As a result, national, state and local authorities have recommended social distancing and imposed or are considering quarantine, shelter-in-place, curfew and similar isolation measures, including government orders and other restrictions on the conduct of business operations, which has resulted in significant unemployment levels, decreased productivity and decreases in certain non-COVID-19 activities. Such measures have had, and are likely to continue to have, adverse impacts on the U.S. economy of uncertain severity and duration and may negatively impact our ability to conduct operations.

As a result of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, we have transitioned our workforce to a remote working model, which may result in us experiencing lower work efficiency and productivity, which in turn may adversely affect our business. As our employees and our business partners’ employees work from home and access our systems remotely, we may be subject to heightened security and privacy risks, including the risks of cyberattacks and privacy incidents. Furthermore, the pandemic has caused and is expected to continue to cause significant disruption of global financial markets, which may reduce or impair our ability to access capital (or access capital on terms that would be consistent with our expectations).

Our market opportunity estimates and growth plans are subject to increased uncertainty and are based on assumptions and estimates regarding, among other things, the length and ultimate impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, that may not prove to be accurate.

Any of the foregoing risks, or other unforeseen risks, may also adversely affect the businesses of our clients, suppliers or third-party business partners and vendors, which may in turn have a material adverse effect on our ability to conduct our business. For example, we may be unable to secure adequate personnel, obtain services, goods, technology, and governmental approvals, in each case on the timelines expected or at all. Due to the uncertain and rapidly evolving nature of current conditions in the United States and around the world, we cannot reasonably estimate the length or severity of the COVID-19 pandemic or the related response, including the length of time it may take for normal economic and operating conditions to resume or the extent to which the disruption may materially and adversely impact our business, financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

If we fail to comply with environmental, health and safety laws and regulations, we could become subject to fines or penalties or incur costs that could have a material adverse effect on the success of our business.

We expect that our operations will be subject to numerous environmental, health and safety laws and regulations. Our operations are expected to involve the use of hazardous and flammable materials. Our operations may also produce hazardous waste products. We plan to contract with third parties for the disposal of these materials and wastes. We cannot eliminate the risk of contamination or injury from these materials. We could be held liable for any resulting damages in the event of contamination or injury resulting from the use of hazardous materials by us, and any liability could exceed our resources. We also could incur significant costs associated with civil or criminal fines and penalties.

Although we expect to maintain workers’ compensation insurance to cover us for costs and expenses we may incur due to injuries to our employees resulting from the use of hazardous materials, this insurance may not provide adequate coverage against potential liabilities. We do not expect to maintain insurance for environmental liability or toxic tort claims that may be asserted against us in connection with our storage or disposal of biological, hazardous or radioactive materials.

In addition, we may incur substantial costs in order to comply with current or future environmental, health and safety laws and regulations. These current or future laws and regulations may impair our development. Failure to comply with these laws and regulations also may result in substantial fines, penalties or other sanctions.

Requirements associated with being a public company will increase our costs significantly, as well as divert significant company resources and management attention.

We are subject to the reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, or the other rules and regulations of the SEC, or any securities exchange relating to public companies. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as amended, or Sarbanes-Oxley, as well as rules subsequently adopted by the SEC to implement provisions of Sarbanes-Oxley, impose significant requirements on public companies, including requiring establishment and maintenance of effective disclosure and financial controls and changes in corporate governance practices. Further, pursuant to the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010, the SEC has adopted additional rules and regulations in these areas, such as mandatory “say on pay” voting requirements that will apply to us when we cease to be an emerging growth company.us. Stockholder activism, the current political environment and the current high level of government intervention and regulatory reform may lead to substantial new regulations and disclosure obligations, which may lead to additional compliance costs and impact the manner in which we operate our business in ways we cannot currently anticipate. Compliance with the various reporting and other requirements applicable to public companies requires considerable time and attention of management. We cannot assure you that we will satisfy our obligations as a public company on a timely basis.

13

We expect the rules and regulations applicable to public companies to substantially increase our legal and financial compliance costs and to make some activities more time-consuming and costly. If these requirements divert the attention of our management and personnel from other business concerns, they could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. The increased costs will decrease our net income or increase our net loss and may require us to reduce costs in other areas of our business or increase the prices of our products or services. In addition, as a public company, it may be more difficult or more costly for us to obtain certain types of insurance, including directors’ and officers’ liability insurance, and we may be forced to accept reduced policy limits and coverage or incur substantially higher costs to obtain the same or similar coverage. The impact of these events could also make it more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified personnel to serve on our board of directors, our board committees or as executive officers.

 

If securities or industry analysts do not publish research or publish inaccurate or unfavorable research about our business, our stock price and trading volume could decline.

The trading market for our common stock will depend in part on the research and reports that securities or industry analysts publish about us or our business. If one or more of the analysts who cover us downgrade our common stock or publish inaccurate or unfavorable research about our business, our common stock price would likely decline. If one or more of these analysts cease coverage of us or fail to publish reports on us regularly, demand for our common stock could decrease, which might cause our common stock price and trading volume to decline.

Our disclosure controls and procedures may not prevent or detect all errors or acts of fraud.

We are subject to the periodic reporting requirements of the Exchange Act. We designed our disclosure controls and procedures to reasonably assure that information we must disclose in reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, and recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC.

We believe that any disclosure controls and procedures or internal controls and procedures, no matter how well-conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met.

These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. For example, our directors or executive officers could inadvertently fail to disclose a new relationship or arrangement causing us to fail to make any related party transaction disclosures. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people or by an unauthorized override of the controls. Accordingly, because of the inherent limitations in our control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected. In addition, we do not have a risk management program or processes or procedures for identifying and addressing risks to our business in other areas.

 

Management has identified a material weakness in the design and effectiveness of our internal controls, which, if not remediated could affect the accuracy and timeliness of our financial reporting and result in misstatements in our financial statements.

In connection with the preparation of our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020, an evaluation was carried out by management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) as of December 31, 2020. Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

During evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 20202021 conducted as part of our annual audit and preparation of our annual financial statements, management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operations of our disclosure controls and procedures and concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective. Management determined that at December 31, 2020,2021, we had a material weakness that relates to the relatively small number of staff who have bookkeeping and accounting functions. In addition, we lacked sufficient written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting with respect to the requirements and application of U.S. GAAP and SEC disclosure requirements. This limited number of staff prevents us from segregating duties within our internal control system.

This material weakness could result in a misstatement to the accounts and disclosures that would result in a material misstatement to our annual or interim consolidated financial statements that would not be prevented or detected. If we do not remediate the material weakness or if other material weaknesses are identified in the future, we may be unable to report our financial results accurately or to report them on a timely basis, which could result in the loss of investor confidence and have a material adverse effect on our stock price as well as our ability to access capital and lending markets.

We are an “emerging growth company,” and we cannot be certain if the reduced reporting requirements applicable to emerging growth companies will make our common stock less attractive to investors.

We are an “emerging growth company” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, as amended, or JOBS Act, and we intend to take advantage of some of the exemptions from reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies, including:

being permitted to provide only two years of audited financial statements, in addition to any required unaudited interim financial statements, with correspondingly reduced “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” disclosure;
not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements in the assessment of our internal control over financial reporting;
not being required to comply with any requirement that may be adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the auditor’s report providing additional information about the audit and the financial statements;
reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation; and
not being required to hold a non-binding advisory vote on executive compensation or obtain stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.

In addition, as an “emerging growth company” the JOBS Act allows us to delay adoption of new or revised accounting pronouncements applicable to public companies until such pronouncements are made applicable to private companies. We have elected to use this extended transition period under the JOBS Act.

We cannot predict if investors will find our common stock less attractive because we will rely on these exemptions. If some investors find our common stock less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for our common stock and our stock price may be more volatile. We may take advantage of these reporting exemptions until we are no longer an emerging growth company. We will remain an emerging growth company until the earlier of (1) the last day of the fiscal year (a) following the fifth anniversary of our initial public offering (i.e. December 31, 2022), (b) in which we have total annual gross revenue of at least $1.07 billion or (c) in which we are deemed to be a large accelerated filer, which means the market value of our common stock that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the prior June 30th and (2) the date on which we have issued more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt during the prior three-year period.

We have not paid cash dividends in the past and do not expect to pay cash dividends in the future. Any return on investment may be limited to the value of our common stock.

We have never paid cash dividends on our common stock and do not anticipate paying cash dividends in the foreseeable future. The payment of dividends on our common stock will depend on earnings, financial condition and other business and economic factors affecting it at such time as the board of directors may consider relevant.

Business Overview

Vision Hydrogen Corporation was incorporated in the state of Nevada on August 17, 2015 as H/Cell Energy Corporation and is based in Jersey City, New Jersey. On November 8, 2021, we entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with VoltH2 Holdings AG, a Swiss corporation, and shareholders of VoltH2 pursuant to which we acquired VoltH2 Holdings AG (“VoltH2”). Pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement, we acquired an 84.1% interest of VoltH2, and together with our existing 15.9% ownership interest, we now own 100% of VoltH2. VoltH2 is a European-based developer of clean hydrogen production facilities for the supply of commercial off-take volumes of clean hydrogen to manufacturers, gas and power traders, industrial consumers, and both heavy and marine transportation sectors that have pivoted away from carbon emitting energy sources and fuels.

 

The 2020 yearVoltH2 acquisition was challengingaccounted for us. Originally,as an asset acquisition with no step up basis due to the 15.9% ownership of VoltH2 by Vision Hydrogen prior to the acquisition and due to VoltH2 being an early stage company that has not generated revenues and lacks outputs. Since this transaction does not constitute the acquisition of a business, but a transfer of long lived there is no step up in basis. The SEC generally will not permit the recognition of gain in the transferor’s financial statements or a step-up in basis on the transferee’s books for sales or transfers of long-lived assets when related parties are involved. As a result of the Company’s previously held 15.9% interest in VoltH2, it was determined to be a related party. The acquisition consideration consisted of 8,409,0981 shares of Vision Hydrogen Corporation common stock granted on the acquisition date of November 8, 2021 at a closing market price of $11. A deemed dividend for the excess share price over cost basis of the net assets of ($1,340,426) was recorded in the amount of $93,840,427.

Following our acquisition of VoltH2, we set outplan to expand the inventory of prospective development sites for clean hydrogen production, replicating what has been initiated in Northwestern Europe. We aim to secure development sites at enviable locations that are proximate to existing gas and power infrastructure, within industrial clusters and with access to multi-modal logistics, including road, rail, water, barge, pipeline, for the distribution of hydrogen molecules to off-takers and end users. The job development cycle of each development site typically ranges 12 months to 36 months, prior to construction, and is largely influenced by local planning, permits, regulations and economic feasibility including the cost of procuring low carbon electrons to supply the future electrolysers, and offtake contracts for the hydrogen gas. In 2021, two locations have been secured and building and environmental permits have been acquired. Both projects are being developed with an estimated final investment decision scheduled for Q4-2022/Q1-2023. Until March 31, 2022, no offtake contract have been signed. The business development team is exploring the market and is negotiating with several off takers also known as end users of hydrogen.

Every project will be integrated into a separate special purpose vehicle (“SPV”) of which VoltH2 Vlissingen B.V., our subsidiary through the acquisition of VoltH2, is the first of two. Our mission is to develop our project in Vlissingen and Terneuzen, both located in The Netherlands while seeking to identify and secure other strategic locations to expand the concept. This includes the securing of land to develop new projects in different countries. Germany, Belgium and the Netherlands also have existing large pipeline networks that have been transporting hydrogen for decades. The Belgium, Netherlands and Luxemburg area (Benelux) has the largest hydrogen network in the world and consumption of hydrogen has reached almost 1.8 million tons of hydrogen per year.

We plan to generate revenue by divesting our projects in full, in part to energy industry participants and/or selling fractional ownership interests in sites under development. In addition, we plan to provide hydrogen energy systems for residential users. The original business plan, established in April 2016,consulting services to other developers, industry participants, and governments focused on developinghydrogen production infrastructure projects. Lastly, as a long-term revenue opportunity, we plan to sell hydrogen production once plants are built and commissioned. We are currently in discussion with private landowners, such as energy companies, commodity traders, utilities, and industrial process customers. We may also purchase land if we believe it is practical and economically viable.

At each reporting period, the marketCompany evaluates whether there are conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued. The Company’s evaluation entails analyzing prospective operating budgets and forecasts for residential off grid hydrogen energy systems while simultaneously acquiring companiesexpectations of the Company’s cash needs and comparing those needs to the current cash and cash equivalent balances. The Company is required to make certain additional disclosures if it concludes substantial doubt exists and it is not alleviated by the Company’s plans or when its plans alleviate substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that possessed technicians who could be trainedthe Company will continue as a going concern. This basis of accounting contemplates the recovery of the Company’s assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the designnormal course of business. These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to the specific amounts and deploymentclassifications of assets and liabilities, which might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

As reflected in the year-end financial statements, the Company had a net loss $988,437 and net cash used in operations of $872,681 for the year ended December 31, 2021. In addition, the Company is a start up in the renewable energy space and has generated limited revenues to date.

Management has evaluated the significance of these hydrogen energy systems.conditions and under these circumstances. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the ability to continue as a going concern. To alleviate these concerns Vision is planning multiple equity raises in 2022.

The annual report has been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. These financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recovery of the recorded assets or the classification of the liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

In February 2020, we decided to adopt another approach in market development, which was to pursue the one market that was establishing momentum, hydrogen production on a plant-size scale. In order to achieve our new strategic business model, we decided to sell both our subsidiaries because they were not producing enough profit and were not a strategic fit with our goal of developing the market for hydrogen energy systems. Further, the hydrogen energy market for residential users was not developing at all based on cost inefficiencies, and debt levels were beginning to impact us adversely.

Beginning in March 2020, the following steps were undertaken to implement the business transition plan:

March 2020 - Commenced discussions with investor regarding financing options for our company and strategic acquisitions.
April 21, 2020 - Concluded the disposition of the PVBJ subsidiary
May 2020 - Commenced discussions and diligence for an investment in a hydrogen production project in the Netherlands, known as Volt H2
May 18, 2020 - Concluded the disposition of The Pride Group subsidiary
July 2020 - Concluded 2nd and 3rd tranches of debt financing with proceeds earmarked for an investment in Volt H2.
August 12, 2020 - Concluded acquisition of an equity interest in Volt H2
September 30, 2020 – Moved the Company’s headquarters from Dallas, Texas to Jersey City, New Jersey
October 6, 2020 – Changed the company name to Vision Hydrogen Corporation and effected a twenty-for-one reverse stock split of our outstanding common stock
January 2021 – Closed on the sale of 12,500,000 shares of common stock in a registered offering, resulting in gross proceeds of $2.5 million.

With the initial investment into the hydrogen production market via Volt H2, the first step in transitioning our hydrogen business focus has been completed. We now will continue to operate the business in a manner that is aligned with our primary hydrogen business strategy.

Discontinued Operations

On April 21, 2020, our Board of Directors authorized our resale of PVBJ back to PVBJ pursuant to the terms as follows: (a) Benis Holdings LLC applied the $221,800 earn-out liability as consideration towards the purchase of PVBJ; (b) Paul Benis applied the remaining salary due to him, as prorated from the Closing Date to the expiration date of the Employment Agreement (January 31, 2021), to the purchase of PVBJ by Benis Holdings LLC as additional consideration thereof, and we have no further salary obligation to Paul Benis, who resigned as our executive officer; and (c) as additional consideration for the purchase of PVBJ by Benis Holdings LLC, PVBJ continues to be responsible for the line of credit (refer to note 15).

On May 18, 2020, in accordance to Nevada Statute 78.565, we completed and executed the May 18, 2020 Purchase and Sale Agreement between us and Turquino providing for our sale of 100% of Pride’s outstanding stock Pride to Turquino in return for Turquino’s assumption of the Hidalgo Notes and the Doyle Notes and the debt obligations and accrued interest related thereto (the “Agreement”). In conjunction therewith, Hidalgo and Doyle assigned the Notes to Turquino, at which time Turquino became responsible for the debt obligations upon the Notes, we have no further note obligations to Hidalgo or Doyle, and we reduced our debt by approximately $600,000 or 65% of the corporate debt obligations. Pursuant to Nevada Statute Section 78.565, approval of the Agreement only required the approval of the board of directors and did not require shareholder approval. The Agreement provides that the Parties mutually release one another and discharge and release the other party (and their respective current and former officers, directors, employees, shareholders, note holders, attorneys, assigns, agents, representatives, predecessors and successors in interest), from any and all claims, demands, obligations, or causes of action. Hidalgo, our Chief Executive Officer, and a managing member of Turquino, are related parties in connection with the Exchange Agreement, the Notes, and the Agreement.

In October 2020, we filed a registration statement on Form S-1 with the Securities and Exchange Commission, whereby we registered 12.5 million shares of our common stock for sale as a company offering. The registration statement was declared effective in October 2020. In January 2021, we sold all of the shares for gross proceeds of $2.5 million. The consideration consisted of $596,747 of debt converted to equity (see Note 9) and gross cash proceeds of $1,903,253. The Company incurred $70,000 of legal fees and a $51,000 consulting fee in connection with the capital raise.

Our future capital requirements will depend on a number of factors, including the progress of our sales and marketing of our services, the timing and outcome of potential acquisitions, the costs involved in operating as a public reporting company, the status of competitive services, the availability of financing and our success in developing markets for our services. We believe our existing cash will be sufficient to fund our operating expenses and capital equipment requirements for at least the next 12 months.

To the Board of Directors and
Stockholders of Vision Hydrogen Corporation Inc.

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheetssheet of Vision Hydrogen Corporation (the Company) as of December 31, 2020 and 2019,2021, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity (deficit), and cash flows for each of the years in the two year period ended December 31, 2020,2021, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the consolidated financial statements). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2020 and 2019,2021, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two year period ended December 31, 2020,2021, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The financial statements of Vision Hydrogen Corporation as of December 31, 2020 were audited by other auditors whose report dated March 12, 2021 expressed an unqualified opinion on those statements.

Going Concern

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company suffered a net loss from operations and has a net capital deficiency, which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans regarding those matters are also described in Note 1. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Basis for Opinion

These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s consolidated financial statements based on our audits.audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our auditsaudit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audit, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Critical Audit Matters

The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.

Going Concern

As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company had a going concern due to a negative working capital and losses from operations.

Auditing management’s evaluation of a going concern can be a significant judgment given the fact that the Company uses management estimates on future revenues and expenses which are not able to be substantiated.

To evaluate the appropriateness of the going concern, we examined and evaluate the financial information that was the initial cause along with managements’ plans to mitigate the going concern and managements’ disclosure on going concern.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 20202021 AND 20192020

1.ORGANIZATION AND LINE OF BUSINESS

1. ORGANIZATION AND LINE OF BUSINESS

Vision Hydrogen Corporation (the “Company”) was incorporated in the state of Nevada on August 17, 2015 as H/Cell Energy Corporation and is based in Jersey City, New Jersey. The Company changed its name to Vision Hydrogen Corporation in October 2020.

During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company took significant steps to transition its hydrogen energy business to focus on hydrogen production on a scaled production plant model. During the period, the Company disposed of its interests in both PVBJ and Pride (See Note 1511 “Discontinued Operations”) in order to facilitate this transition. As part of the disposition the Company provided certain post-closing support to both PVBJ and Pride through Q3 2020. On August 12, 2020, pursuant to a Seed Capital Subscription Agreement, the Company made an equity investment into VoltH2 Holdings AG (“VoltH2”), a Swiss corporation developing scalable green hydrogen production projects primarily in Europe. VoltH2 is currently planning to develop a 25MW green hydrogen production site near Vlissingen, Netherlands. The investment was for a total purchase price $175,000,$175,000, representing a 17.5%17.5% equity interest in VoltH2.

Effective September 30, 2020 the Company moved its principal office from Dallas, Texas to Jersey City, New Jersey.

On September 29, 2020, the Company filed an amendment to and restatement of its Articles of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada. Pursuant to the Amendment, the Company (i) changed its name from H/Cell Energy Corporation to Vision Hydrogen Corporation (ii) effectuated a one-for-twenty (1:20) reverse split of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of the Company without changing the par value of the stock and (iii) increased its authorized shares of common stock from 25,000,000 to 100,000,000.100,000,000. The Amendment took effect on October 6, 2020.

On October 14, 2020, the Company filed an S-1 registration statement offering up to a maximum of 12,500,000 shares of its common stock for gross proceeds of $2,500,000,$2,500,000, before deduction of commissions and offering expenses. The registration statement was declared effective on October 23, 2020. As of the date of this filing, the Company has sold all shares under the registration statement.

2.SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis On January 29, 2021, Judd Brammah converted his note and interest payable totaling $596,747, together with an additional cash payment of Presentation

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States$3,253 for a total of America (“GAAP”). All inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated upon consolidation.

On October 6, 2020,$600,000 into 3,000,000 shares of the Company effectuated a one-for-twenty (1:20) reverse split ofpursuant to the issued and outstanding sharesCompany public offering of common stock on the Form S-1 registration statement.

On November 8, 2021, we entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with VoltH2 Holdings AG (“VoltH2”), a Swiss corporation, and the other shareholders of VoltH2 (each, a “Seller”, and together, the “Sellers”) pursuant to which we acquired VoltH2 (the “Acquisition”). VoltH2 is a European-based developer of clean hydrogen production facilities for the supply of commercial offtake volumes of clean hydrogen to manufacturers, gas and power traders, industrial consumers, and both heavy and marine transportation sectors that have pivoted away from carbon emitting energy sources and fuels.

Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, we acquired an 84.1% interest of VoltH2, and together with our existing 15.9% ownership interest, we now own 100% of VoltH2. The Acquisition was completed in exchange for 8,409,091 shares of our common stock (the “Consideration Shares”). In connection with the Acquisition, we also entered into an indemnification escrow agreement (the “Escrow Agreement”) with one of the Company without changingSellers providing for the par valueperiodic release of up to 1,768,182 of the stockConsideration Shares (the “Escrowed Shares”) and increased its authorized shares of common stock from 25,000,000a pledge and security agreement (the “Pledge and Security Agreement”) to 100,000,000 which is presented ongrant to us a continuing security interest in the current period financial statements. All per share amounts have been adjusted forEscrowed Shares to secure such Seller’s indemnity obligations under the impact of the reverse stock split.Purchase Agreement.

 

UseThe VoltH2 acquisition was accounted for as an asset acquisition with no step up basis due to the 15.9% ownership of Estimates

VoltH2 by Vision Hydrogen prior to the acquisition and due to VoltH2 being an early stage company that has not generated revenues and lacks outputs. Since this transaction does not constitute the acquisition of a business, but a transfer of long lived there is no step up in basis. The preparationSEC generally will not permit the recognition of gain in the transferor’s financial statements or a step-up in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted inbasis on the United Statestransferee’s books for sales or transfers of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts oflong-lived assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions thatwhen related parties are believed to be reasonable in the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Reclassification

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation specifically as it relates to the reclassification of assets, liabilities, operating results, cash flows and the accumulated comprehensive loss asinvolved. As a result of the Company’s dispositionpreviously held 15.9% interest in VoltH2, it was determined to be a related party. The acquisition consideration consisted of interests in our PVBJ and Pride subsidiaries.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2020 AND 2019

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable are recorded when invoices are issued and are presented in8,409,098 shares of Vision Hydrogen Corporation common stock granted on the balance sheet netacquisition date of November 8, 2021 at a closing market price of $11. A deemed dividend for the excess share price over cost basis of the allowance for doubtful accounts. The allowance for doubtful accounts is estimated based on the Company’s historical losses, the existing economic conditionsnet assets of ($1,340,426) was recorded in the construction industry, and the financial stability of its customers. Accounts are written off as uncollectible after collection efforts have failed. In addition, the Company does not generally charge interest on past-due accounts or require collateral. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, there was no allowance for doubtful accounts required.

Goodwill and Finite-Lived Intangible Assets

Goodwill represents the excess of the aggregate of the following (1) consideration transferred, (2) the fair value of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree, and (3) if the business combination is achieved in stages, the acquisition-date fair value of our previously held equity interest in the acquiree over the net of the acquisition-date amounts of the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed. Identifiable intangible assets consist primarily of customer lists and relationships, non-compete agreements and technology-based intangibles and other contractual agreements. The Company amortizes finite lived identifiable intangible assets over five years, on a straight-line basis to their estimated residual values and periodically reviews them for impairment. Total goodwill and identifiable intangible assets comprised 0% of the Company’s consolidated total assets as of December 31, 2020 and 41% as of December 31, 2019 which is included on the balance sheet in non-current assets held for sale.

The Company uses the acquisition method of accounting for all business combinations and does not amortize goodwill. Goodwill is tested for possible impairment annually during the fourth quarter of each fiscal year or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired. The Company has the option to perform a qualitative assessment to determine if an impairment is more likely than not to have occurred. If the Company can support the conclusion that it is not more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, the Company would not need to perform the two-step impairment test for that reporting unit. If the Company cannot support such a conclusion or the Company does not elect to perform the qualitative assessment, then the first step of the goodwill impairment test is used to identify potential impairment by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount, including goodwill. If the estimated fair value of the reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, its goodwill is not impaired, and the second step of the impairment test is not necessary. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds its estimated fair value, then the second step of the goodwill impairment test must be performed. The second step of the goodwill impairment test compares the implied fair value of the reporting unit goodwill with its carrying amount to measure the amount of impairment, if any. The implied fair value of goodwill is determined in the same manner as the amount of goodwill recognized in a business combination. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit goodwill exceeds the implied fair value of that goodwill, an impairment is recognized in an amount equal to that excess.

As of December 31, 2020, the Company had no goodwill and has included the write-off of goodwill in the calculation of the loss on disposal of PVBJ (See Note 15 “Discontinued Operations”)$93,840,427.

Comprehensive Loss

Comprehensive loss consists of two components, net loss and other comprehensive loss. The Company’s other comprehensive loss is comprised of foreign currency translation adjustments. The balance of accumulated other comprehensive loss is zero as of December 31, 2020 due to the disposition of Pride on May 18, 2020. Comprehensive loss is included in discontinued operations on the income statement for the year ended December 31, 2019.

Currency Translation

The Company translates its foreign subsidiary’s assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies into U.S. dollars at current rates of exchange as of the balance sheet date and income and expense items at the average exchange rate for the reporting period. Translation adjustments resulting from exchange rate fluctuations are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income. The Company records gains and losses from changes in exchange rates on transactions denominated in currencies other than each reporting location’s functional currency in net income (loss) for each period. Items included in the financial statements of each entity in the group are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (“functional currency”).

The functional and reporting currency of the Company is the United States Dollar (“U.S. Dollar”).

VISION HYDROGEN CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2020 AND 2019

For the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company recorded no other comprehensive loss. The balance of comprehensive loss and accumulated comprehensive loss has been reclassified to discontinued operations as of December 31, 2020 due to the disposition of Pride on May 18, 2020. For the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company recorded other comprehensive gain of $11,952, which has been reclassified to discontinued operations on the statement of operations.

Investments

The Company follows Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 321-10-35-2 “Equity Securities without Readily Determinable Fair Values, to account for its ownership interest in noncontrolled entities. Under this guidance, equity securities that do not have readily determinable fair values (i.e., non-marketable equity securities and do not qualify for the practical expedient to determine the fair value at net asset value (“NAV”) are not required to be accounted for under the equity method are typically carried at cost (i.e., cost method investments) less accumulated impairment. Investments of this nature are initially recorded at cost. Income is recorded for dividends received that are distributed from net accumulated earnings of the noncontrolled entity subsequent to the date of investment. Dividends received in excess of earnings subsequent to the date of investment are considered a return of investment and are recorded as reductions in the cost of the investment. Investments are written down only when there is clear evidence that a decline in value that is other than temporary has occurred.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606 – Revenue from Contracts (“ASC 606”).

Under ASC 606 requirements, the Company recognizes revenue from the installation or construction of projects and service or short-term projects over time using the cost-based input method. The Company accounts for a contract when: (i) it has approval and commitment from both parties, (ii) the rights of the parties are identified, (iii) payment terms are identified, (iv) the contract has commercial substance, and (v) collectability of consideration is probable. The Company considers the start of a project to be when the above criteria have been met and the Company either has written authorization from the customer to proceed or an executed contract. A detailed breakdown of the five-step process is as follows:

Identify the Contract with a Customer

The Company used to receive almost all of its contracts from only two sources, referrals, or government bids. In a referral, a client that the Company has an ongoing business relationship with refers the Company to perform services. In a government bid, the Company applies to perform services for public projects. The contracts have a pattern of being stand-alone contracts.

Identify the Performance Obligations in the Contract

The performance obligation of the Company is to perform a contractually agreed upon task for the customer. If the contract is stated to provide only contractual services, then the services are considered the only performance obligation. If the contractual services include design and or engineering in addition to the contract, it is considered a single performance obligation.

Determine the Transaction Price

The nature of the industry involves a number of uncertainties that can affect the current state of the contract. Variable considerations are the estimates made due to a contract modification in the contractual service. Change orders, claims, extras, or back charges are common in contractual services activity as a form of variable consideration. If there is going to be a contract modification, judgment by management will need to be made to determine if the variable consideration is enforceable. The following factors are considered in determining if the variable consideration is enforceable:

1.The customer’s written approval of the scope of the change order;
2.Current contract language that indicates clear and enforceable entitlement relating to the change order;
3.Separate documentation for the change order costs that are identifiable and reasonable; and
4.The Company’s favorable experience in negotiating change orders, especially as it relates to the specific type of contract and change order being evaluated

Once the Company receives a contract, it generates a budget of projected costs for the contract based on the contract price. If the scope of the contract during the contractual period needs to be modified, the Company typically files a change order. The Company does not continue to perform services until the change modification is agreed upon with documentation by both the Company and the customer. There are few times that claims, extras, or back charges are included in the contract.

VISION HYDROGEN CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2020 AND 2019

Allocate the Transaction Price to the Performance Obligations in the Contract

If there are multiple performance obligations to the contract, the costs must be allocated appropriately and consistently to each performance obligation. In the Company’s experience, usually only one performance obligation is stated per contract. If there are multiple services provided for one customer, the Company has a policy of splitting out the services over multiple contracts.

Recognize Revenue When (or As) the Entity Satisfies a Performance Obligations

The Company uses the total costs incurred on the project relative to the total expected costs to satisfy the performance obligation. The input method involves measuring the resources consumed, labor hours expended, costs incurred, time lapsed, or machine hours used relative to the total expected inputs to the satisfaction of the performance obligation. Costs incurred prior to actual contract (i.e. design, engineering, procurement of material, etc.) should not be recognized as the client does not have control of the good/service provided. When the estimate on a contract indicates a loss or claims against costs incurred reduce the likelihood of recoverability of such costs, the Company records the entire estimated loss in the period the loss becomes known. Project contracts typically provide for a schedule of billings or invoices to the customer based on the Company’s job to date percentage of completion of specific tasks inherent in the fulfillment of its performance obligation(s). The schedules for such billings usually do not precisely match the schedule on which costs are incurred. As a result, contract revenue recognized in the statement of operations can and usually does differ from amounts that can be billed or invoiced to the customer at any point during the contract. Amounts by which cumulative contract revenue recognized on a contract as of a given date exceed cumulative billings and unbilled receivables to the customer under the contract are reflected as a current asset in the Company’s balance sheet under the captions “Costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings” and “Unbilled accounts receivable.” Amounts by which cumulative billings to the customer under a contract as of a given date exceed cumulative contract revenue recognized on the contract are reflected as a current liability in the Company’s balance sheet under the caption “Billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings.”

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash in bank and money market funds as well as other highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less. The Company had no cash equivalents as of December 31, 2020 or 2019.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company recognizes expense for its stock-based compensation based on the fair value of the awards at the time they are granted. We estimate the value of stock option awards on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes model. The determination of the fair value of stock-based payment awards on the date of grant is affected by our stock price as well as assumptions regarding a number of complex and subjective variables. These variables include our expected stock price volatility over the term of the awards, expected term, risk-free interest rate and expected dividends. The impact of forfeitures are recorded in the period in which they occur. There are no outstanding awards as of December 31, 2020,

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and short-term borrowings, as reflected in the balance sheets, approximate fair value because of the short-term maturity of these instruments. All other significant financial assets, financial liabilities and equity instruments of the Company are either recognized or disclosed in the financial statements together with other information relevant for making a reasonable assessment of future cash flows, interest rate risk and credit risk. Where practicable the fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities have been determined and disclosed; otherwise only available information pertinent to fair value has been disclosed. The Company classifies and discloses assets and liabilities carried at fair value in one of the following three categories:

Level 1—quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities;
Level 2—observable market-based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data; and
Level 3—significant unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions.

VISION HYDROGEN CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2020 AND 2019

There were no fair value measurements as of December 31, 2020.

Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share

The Company computes basic net income (loss) per share by dividing net income (loss) per share available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period and excludes the effects of any potentially dilutive securities. Diluted earnings per share, if presented, would include the dilution that would occur upon the exercise or conversion of all potentially dilutive securities into common stock using the “if converted” method as applicable. The computation of diluted loss per share excludes dilutive securities because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive. Dilutive securities for the periods presented are as follows:

  Years Ended

Options to purchase common stock       0   21,250

Totals  0   76,250 

Please refer to Note 10 for a discussion of the decrease for the twelve months ended December 31, 2020 compared to December 31, 2019.

3.RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

The Company has entered into agreements to indemnify its directors and executive officers, in addition to the indemnification provided for in the Company’s articles of incorporation and bylaws. These agreements, among other things, provide for indemnification of the Company’s directors and executive officers for certain expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and settlement amounts incurred by any such person in any action or proceeding, including any action by or in the right of the Company, arising out of such person’s services as a director or executive officer of the Company, any subsidiary of the Company or any other company or enterprise to which the person provided services at the Company’s request. The Company believes that these provisions and agreements are necessary to attract and retain qualified persons as directors and executive officers.

There was $97,500 of management fees expensed for the year ended December 31, 2020 and $80,500 for the year ended December 31, 2019 to Turquino Equity LLC (“Turquino”), a former significant shareholder owned by our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. Services provided were continuing the management positions of the Company.

On January 2, 2018 and February 8, 2019, the Company and Andrew Hidalgo (“Hidalgo”), completed a Convertible Debenture Agreement whereby Hidalgo, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, lent us an aggregate of $275,000 (the “Hidalgo Notes”). On January 2, 2018 and February 8, 2019, the Company and Michael Doyle (“Doyle”), a then director of the Company, completed a Convertible Debenture Agreement whereby Doyle lent the Company an aggregate of $275,000 (the “Doyle Notes”).

The Company recorded a $395,000 discount on debt, related to the beneficial conversion feature of the note to be amortized over the life of the note using the effective interest method, or until the note is converted or repaid. On January 3, 2020, the Company entered into an amendment agreement (the “Amendment”) with two of its directors (the “Holders”) to convertible notes issued by the Company to the Holders in January 2018 (the “2018 Notes”). Pursuant to the Amendment, which was effective as of January 2, 2020, the maturity date of the 2018 Notes was amended from January 2, 2020 to February 8, 2021, and the Holders waived any defaults that might have occurred prior to the date of the Amendment.

Cash is maintained at an authorized deposit-taking institution (bank) incorporated in both the United States and Australia and is insured by the U.S. Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and Australian Securities & Investments Commission up to $250,000 and approximately $186,000 in total, respectively. As of December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the balance was fully covered under the $250,000 threshold in the United States. In Australia, the balance was $10,563 in excess of the insured limit at December 31, 2019 which is included in current assets held for sale on the balance sheet.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2020 AND 2019

The aggregate intrinsic value in the preceding table represents the total pretax intrinsic value, based on options with an exercise price less than the Company’s weighted average grant date stock price of $6.20 per share, which would have been received by the option holders had those option holders exercised their options as of that date.

Option valuation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions. The fair value of stock-based payment awards was estimated using the Black-Scholes option model with a volatility figure derived from an index of historical stock prices of comparable entities until sufficient data exists to estimate the volatility using the Company’s own historical stock prices. Management determined this assumption to be a more accurate indicator of value.

The Company accounts for the expected life of options based on the contractual life of options for non-employees. For incentive options granted to employees, the Company accounts for the expected life in accordance with the “simplified” method, which is used for “plain-vanilla” options, as defined in the accounting standards codification. The risk-free interest rate was determined from the implied yields of U.S. Treasury zero-coupon bonds with a remaining life consistent with the expected term of the options. The fair value of stock-based payment awards was estimated using the Black-Scholes pricing model.

As of December 31, 2020, there was no unrecognized compensation expense as all option holders had their options forfeited through the sale of Pride and PVBJ. As of December 31, 2019, there was $32,642 of unrecognized compensation expense.

11.SEGMENT INFORMATION

Prior to the disposition of Pride and PVBJ, the Company’s business was organized into two reportable segments: renewable systems integration revenue and non-renewable systems integration revenue. Due to the sale of both Pride and PVBJ (See Note 15 “Discontinued Operations”) the Company operates in only one reportable segment. Please refer to Note 15 and Management’s Discussion and Analysis for further detail.

16.GOING CONCERN

At each reporting period, the Company evaluates whether there are conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued. The Company’s evaluation entails analyzing prospective operating budgets and forecasts for expectations of the Company’s cash needs and comparing those needs to the current cash and cash equivalent balances. The Company is required to make certain additional disclosures if it concludes substantial doubt exists and it is not alleviated by the Company’s plans or when its plans alleviate substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. This basis of accounting contemplates the recovery of the Company’s assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to the specific amounts and classifications of assets and liabilities, which might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the novel strain of coronavirus (COVID-19), a global pandemic and recommended containment and mitigation measures worldwide. As of the date of this filing, the Company has sold its office in the U.S and Australia. The Company will continue to monitor the situation closely and it is possible that it will implement further measures. In light of the uncertainty as to the severity and duration of the pandemic, the impact on the Company’s revenues, profitability and financial position is uncertain at this time.

As reflected in the yearlyyear-end financial statements, the Company hashad a net loss of $1,411,562$988,437 and net operating cash used in continuing operations used of $412,528$872,681 for the year ended December 31, 2020.2021. In addition, the Company is a start up in the renewable energy space and has generated nolimited revenues to date.

Due to the sale of PVBJ and Pride, the Company has extinguished liabilities on its balance sheet such as the line of credit that was due in August 2020, earn out payable, and other notes and finance leases payables relating to vehicles. The Company also generated proceeds of $580,232 from a related party note in 2020 along with $2,500,000 from the public sale of common stock in the first quarter of 2021. The related party note has been further converted into equity therefore not having to be repaid. Management has evaluated the significance of these conditions and under these circumstances expects that its current cash resources, operating cash flows andThese conditions raise substantial doubt about the ability to secure financing would be sufficient to sustain operations forcontinue as a period greater than one year from thegoing concern.To alleviate these concerns Vision is planning multiple equity raises in 2022.

The annual report issuance date. Therefore,has been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the conditions identified aboverealization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. These financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recovery of the recorded assets or the classification of the liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

VISION HYDROGEN CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2021 AND 2020

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable in the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Reclassification

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation specifically as it relates to the reclassification of assets, liabilities, operating results, cash flows and the accumulated comprehensive loss as a result of the Company’s disposition of interests in our PVBJ and Pride subsidiaries.

Currency Translation

The Company translates its foreign subsidiary’s assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies into U.S. dollars at current rates of exchange as of the balance sheet date and income and expense items at the average exchange rate for the reporting period. Translation adjustments resulting from exchange rate fluctuations are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income. The Company records gains and losses from changes in exchange rates on transactions denominated in currencies other than each reporting location’s functional currency in net income (loss) for each period. Items included in the financial statements of each entity in the group are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (“functional currency”).

The functional and reporting currency of the Company is the United States Dollar (“U.S. Dollar”).

For the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company recorded $34,389 in comprehensive gain. For the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company recorded no other comprehensive loss. The balance of comprehensive loss and accumulated comprehensive loss has been reclassified to discontinued operations as of December 31, 2020 due to the disposition of Pride on May 18, 2020.

Investments

The Company follows Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 321-10-35-2 “Equity Securities without Readily Determinable Fair Values, to account for its ownership interest in noncontrolled entities. Under this guidance, equity securities that do not have readily determinable fair values (i.e., non-marketable equity securities and do not qualify for the practical expedient to determine the fair value at net asset value (“NAV”) are not required to be accounted for under the equity method are typically carried at cost (i.e., cost method investments) less accumulated impairment. Investments of this nature are initially recorded at cost. Income is recorded for dividends received that are distributed from net accumulated earnings of the noncontrolled entity subsequent to the date of investment. Dividends received in excess of earnings subsequent to the date of investment are considered a return of investment and are recorded as reductions in the cost of the investment. Investments are written down only when there is clear evidence that a decline in value that is other than temporary has occurred.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company recognizes expense for its stock-based compensation based on the fair value of the awards at the time they are granted. We estimate the value of stock option awards on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes model. The determination of the fair value of stock-based payment awards on the date of grant is affected by our stock price as well as assumptions regarding a number of complex and subjective variables. These variables include our expected stock price volatility over the term of the awards, expected term, risk-free interest rate and expected dividends. The impact of forfeitures are recorded in the period in which they occur. There are no outstanding awards as of December 31, 2021.

Website Development Costs

Website development costs were for a new company website created in 2021 and is amortized over 3 years.

Leases

Please see note 6.

Property and Equipment, and Depreciation

Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is generally provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. Leasehold improvements are amortized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the remaining term of the lease or the estimated useful life of the improvement.

Repairs and maintenance that do not improve or extend the lives of the property and equipment are charged to expense as incurred.

Income Taxes

The Company uses the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes pursuant to Financial Accounting Standard Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 740, Income Taxes (“ASC 740”). Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets, including tax loss and credit carryforwards, and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Deferred income tax expense represents the change during the period in the deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities. The components of the deferred tax assets and liabilities are individually classified as current and non-current based on their characteristics. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

The determination of the Company’s provision for income taxes requires significant judgment, the use of estimates, and the interpretation and application of complex tax laws. Significant judgment is required in assessing the timing and amounts of deductible and taxable items and the probability of sustaining uncertain tax positions. The benefits of uncertain tax positions are recorded in the Company’s financial statements only after determining a more-likely-than-not probability that the uncertain tax positions will withstand challenge, if any, from taxing authorities. When facts and circumstances change, the Company reassesses these probabilities and records any changes in the financial statements as appropriate. Accrued interest and penalties related to income tax matters are classified as a component of income tax expense.

The Company recognizes and measures its unrecognized tax benefits in accordance with ASC 740. Under that guidance, management assesses the likelihood that tax positions will be sustained upon examination based on the facts, circumstances and information, including the technical merits of those positions, available at the end of each period. The measurement of unrecognized tax benefits is adjusted when new information is available, or when an event occurs that requires a change.

The Company did not identify any material uncertain tax positions. The Company did not recognize any interest or penalties for unrecognized tax benefits.

The federal income tax returns of the Company are subject to examination by the IRS, generally for the three years after they are filed. The Company’s 2020, 2019, and 2018 income tax returns are still open for examination by the taxing authorities.

Asset acquisitions

Asset acquisitions are measured based on their cost to us, including transaction costs incurred by us. An asset acquisition’s cost or the consideration transferred by us is assumed to be equal to the fair value of the net assets acquired. If the consideration transferred is cash, measurement is based on the amount of cash we paid to the seller, as well as transaction costs incurred by us. Consideration given in the form of nonmonetary assets, liabilities incurred or equity interests issued is measured based on either the cost to us or the fair value of the assets or net assets acquired, whichever is more clearly evident. The cost of an asset acquisition is allocated to the assets acquired based on their estimated relative fair values. We engage third-party appraisal firms to assist in the fair value determination of inventories, identifiable long-lived assets and identifiable intangible assets. Goodwill is not recognized in an asset acquisition. See note 17 for further information.

3.RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

The Company has entered into agreements to indemnify its directors and executive officers, in addition to the indemnification provided for in the Company’s articles of incorporation and bylaws.

6.LEASES

Operating Leases

For leases with a term of 12 months or less, the Company is permitted to make and has made an accounting policy election by class of underlying asset not to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities, and we recognize lease expense for such leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

The Company maintains its principal office at 95 Christopher Columbus Drive, 16th Floor Jersey City, NJ 07302. The Company moved in October 2020 and its office is in a shared office space provider, at a cost of $99 per month and currently the lease is month-to-month.

Right of use assets represent the right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease right of use assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. As most of the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses an incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. The operating lease right of use asset also excludes lease incentives. The Company’s lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

In determining the discount rate to use in calculating the present value of lease payments, the Company estimates the rate of interest it would pay on a collateralized loan with the same payment terms as the lease by utilizing bond yields traded in the secondary market to determine the estimated cost of funds for the particular tenor.

Upon the purchase of Volt on November 8, 2021 the Company acquired a lease for new office space in the Netherlands, for a term of three years. The Company analyzed this lease and determined that this agreement meets the definition of a lease under ASU 2016-02 as it provides management with the exclusive right to direct the use of and obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from the identified leased asset, which is the office space. Management also analyzed the terms of this arrangement and concluded it should be classified as an operating lease, as none of the criteria were met for finance lease classification. As there was only one identified asset, no allocation of the lease payments was deemed necessary. Management did not incur any initial direct costs associated with this lease. As of the commencement date, a right of use asset and lease liability of $102,331 was recorded on the consolidated balance sheet based on the present value of payments in the lease agreement. Per review of the lease agreement, there was no variable terms identified and there is no implicit rate stated. Therefore, the Company determined the present value of the future minimum lease payments based on the incremental borrowing rate of the Company. The incremental borrowing rate was determined to be 4%, as this is the rate which represents the incremental borrowing rate for the Company, on a collateralized basis, in a similar economic environment with similar payment terms.

The future minimum payments on operating leases for each of the next three years and in the aggregate amount to the following:

SCHEDULE OF OPERATING LEASES PAYMENTS

     
2022 $43,500 
2023  43,500 
2024  39,875 
Total lease payments  126,875 
Less: present value discount  (20,255)
Total operating lease liabilities $106,620 

The weighted-average remaining term of the Company’s operating leases was 2.8 years and the weighted-average discount rate used to measure the present value of the Company’s operating lease liabilities was 4% as of December 31, 2021.

Rent expense for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 was $5,474 and $1,319, respectively, and is included in “General and Administrative” expenses on the related statements of operations.

As of December 31, 2020, the Company had 0operating leases.

Finance Leases

As of December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company had 0finance leases.

7.STOCK OPTIONS AWARDS AND GRANTS

12.RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02 and issued subsequent amendments to the initial guidance thereafter. This ASU requires an entity to recognize a right of use asset and lease liability for all leases with terms of more than 12 months. Recognition, measurement and presentation of expenses will depend on classification of the underlying lease as either finance or operating. Similar modifications have been made to lessor accounting in-line with revenue recognition guidance. The amendments also require certain quantitative and qualitative disclosures about leasing arrangements. Leases will be classified as finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern and classification of expense recognition in the income statement. The new standard was effective for the Company on January 1, 2019. Entities are required to adopt ASU 2016-02 using a modified retrospective transition method. Full retrospective transition is prohibited. The guidance permits an entity to apply the standard’s transition provisions at either the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements or the beginning of the period of adoption (i.e., on the effective date). The Company adopted the new standard on its effective date.

In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07, Compensation - Stock Compensation (ASC 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting (“ASU 2018-07”). ASU 2018-07 simplifies the accounting for nonemployee share-based payment transactions. Consequently, the accounting for share-based payments to nonemployees and employees will be substantially aligned. The new standard will become effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2019, with early adoption permitted. The Company has adopted this standard and has no impact on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

In August 2018, the FASB issue ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (ASC 820): Disclosure Framework-Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement, which modifies the disclosure requirements for fair value measurements by removing, modifying, or adding certain disclosures. The new standard will become effective for the Company January 1, 2020, with early adoption permitted. The Company has adopted this standard and has no impact on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

In January 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-01, Investments - Equity Securities (Topic 321), Investments - Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323), and Derivative and Hedging (Topic 815), which clarifies the interaction of rules for equity securities, the equity method of accounting, and forward contracts and purchase options on certain types of securities. The guidance clarifies how to account for the transition into and out of the equity method of accounting when considering observable transactions under the measurement alternative. The ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim reporting periods within those annual periods, with early adoption permitted. The Company has adopted this standard and there is no impact on the current financial statements.

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity. This ASU amends the guidance on convertible instruments and the derivatives scope exception for contracts in an entity’s own equity, and also improves and amends the related EPS guidance for both Subtopics. The ASU will be effective for annual reporting periods after December 15, 2021 and interim periods within those annual periods and early adoption is permitted. The Company has not yet adopted this standard and there is no impact expected on the current financial statements.

13.INVESTMENTS

On August 12, 2020, pursuant to a Seed Capital Subscription Agreement, the Company made an equity investment of 175,000 shares into VoltH2 Holdings AG (“VoltH2”), a Swiss corporation developing scalable green hydrogen production projects primarily in Europe. VoltH2 is currently developing a 25MW green hydrogen production site near Vlissingen, Netherlands. The investment was for a total purchase price of $175,000,$175,000, representing a 17.5%16% equity interest in VoltH2. Due to the lack of readily determinable fair value of VoltH2, and because this investment does not qualify for the practical expedient to determine fair value using NAV, this investment has been recorded at cost. The Company will continually evaluate the treatment of this investment each reporting period to determine if a fair value can be determined, and if so will reassess the accounting for this investment. The Company considers whether the fair value of its investment has declined below its carrying value whenever adverse events or changes in circumstances indicate that the recorded value may not be recoverable. The Company reviews its investments for other-than-temporary impairment whenever events or changes in business circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the investment may not be fully recoverable. Investments identified as having an indication of impairment are subject to further analysis to determine if the impairment is other-than-temporary and this analysis requires estimating the fair value of the investment. The determination of fair value of the investment involves considering factors such as current economic and market conditions, the operating performance of the entities including current earnings trends and forecasted cash flows, and other company and industry specific information. If the Company considers any decline to be other than temporary (based on various factors, including historical financial results and the overall health of the investee), then a write-down would be recorded to estimated fair value.

The remaining equity interest of VoltH2 was acquired November 8, 2021 resulting in consolidation accounting see Note 7.

14.NOTES RECEIVABLE

Effective June 7, 2021, we loaned VoltH2 $100,000, payable on September 1, 2021. The loan is non-interest bearing and evidenced by a promissory note issued to us by VoltH2 (the “Note”). VoltH2 may prepay the Note in whole or in part at any time or from time to time without penalty or premium. We currently own approximately 16% of VoltH2. Our Board of Directors approved the foregoing transaction.

Effective June 28, 2021, we loaned VoltH2 $500,000, payable on September 1, 2021. The loan is non-interest bearing and evidenced by a promissory note issued to us by VoltH2 (the “Note”). VoltH2 may prepay the Note in whole or in part at any time or from time to time without penalty or premium. We currently own approximately 16% of VoltH2. Our Board of Directors approved the foregoing transaction.

Effective August 25, 2021, we loaned VoltH2 $500,000, payable on November 1, 2021. The loan is non-interest bearing and evidenced by a promissory note issued to us by VoltH2 (the “Note”). VoltH2 may prepay the Note in whole or in part at any time or from time to time without penalty or premium. Our Board of Directors approved the foregoing transaction.

Effective August 25, 2021, we entered into an amendment (the “June 7 Amendment”) to a promissory note issued to VoltH2 on June 7, 2021 (The “June 7 Note”), pursuant to which the Payment Date (as defined in the June 7 Note) was changed from September 1, 2021 to November 1, 2021. Our Board of Directors approved the foregoing amendment.

Effective August 25, 2021, we entered into an amendment (the “June 28 Amendment”) to a promissory note issued to VoltH2 on June 28, 2021 (The “June 28 Note”), pursuant to which the Payment Date (as defined in the June 28 Note) was changed from September 1, 2021 to November 1, 2021. Our Board of Directors approved the foregoing amendment.

 

All note receivables referenced above are netted out in the consolidation due to 100% ownership of VoltH2 as of November 8, 2021.

18.15.INCOME TAXES

The Company uses the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes pursuant to Financial Accounting Standard Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 740, Income Taxes (“ASC 740”). Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets, including tax loss and credit carryforwards, and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Deferred income tax expense represents the change during the period in the deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2021 AND 2020

The determination of the Company’s provision for income taxes requires significant judgment, the use of estimates, and the interpretation and application of complex tax laws. Significant judgment is required in assessing the timing and amounts of deductible and taxable items and the probability of sustaining uncertain tax positions. The benefits of uncertain tax positions are recorded in the Company’s financial statements only after determining a more-likely-than-not probability that the uncertain tax positions will withstand challenge, if any, from taxing authorities. When facts and circumstances change, the Company reassesses these probabilities and records any changes in the financial statements as appropriate. Accrued interest and penalties related to income tax matters are classified as a component of income tax expense.

The Company recognizes and measures its unrecognized tax benefits in accordance with ASC 740. Under that guidance, management assesses the likelihood that tax positions will be sustained upon examination based on the facts, circumstances and information, including the technical merits of those positions, available at the end of each period. The measurement of unrecognized tax benefits is adjusted when new information is available, or when an event occurs that requires a change.

The Company did not identify any material uncertain tax positions. The Company did not recognize any interest or penalties for unrecognized tax benefits.

The federal income tax returns of the Company are subject to examination by the IRS, generally for the three years after they are filed. The Company’s 2020, 2019 2018 and 20172018 income tax returns are still open for examination by the taxing authorities.

The components of income tax expense (benefit) from continuing operations are as follows:

The change in the valuation allowance for the year ended December 31, 20202021 was an increase of $520,000.$180,092. The increase in the valuation allowance for the year ended December 31, 20202021 was mainly attributable to an increase in the capital loss carryforward, which resulted in an increase in the Company’s deferred tax asset. The Company periodically assesses the likelihood that it will be able to recover the deferred tax asset. The Company considers all available evidence, both positive and negative, including historical levels of income, expectations and risks associated with estimates of future taxable income.

17.BUSINESS ACQUISITION

On November 8, 2021, we entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with VoltH2 Holdings AG (“VoltH2”), a Swiss corporation, and the other shareholders of VoltH2 (each, a “Seller”, and together, the “Sellers”) pursuant to which we acquired VoltH2 (the “Acquisition”). VoltH2 is a European-based developer of clean hydrogen production facilities for the supply of commercial offtake volumes of clean hydrogen to manufacturers, gas and power traders, industrial consumers, and both heavy and marine transportation sectors that have pivoted away from carbon emitting energy sources and fuels.

Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, we acquired an 84.1% interest of VoltH2, and together with our existing 15.9% ownership interest, we now own 100% of VoltH2. The Acquisition was completed in exchange for 8,409,091 shares of our common stock (the “Consideration Shares”). The market price of the shares were $11 on the closing date of November 8, 2021. In connection with the Acquisition, we also entered into an indemnification escrow agreement (the “Escrow Agreement”) with one of the Sellers providing for the periodic release of up to 1,768,182 of the Consideration Shares (the “Escrowed Shares”) and a pledge and security agreement (the “Pledge and Security Agreement”) to grant to us a continuing security interest in the Escrowed Shares to secure such Seller’s indemnity obligations under the Purchase Agreement.

 

Continuing Operations:The VoltH2 acquisition was accounted for as an asset acquisition with no step up basis due to the 15.9% ownership of VoltH2 by Vision Hydrogen Corporation prior to the acquisition and due to VoltH2 being an early stage company that has not generated revenues and lacks outputs.  Since this transaction is not an acquisition of a business but yet a transfer of long lived assets (primarily) between two non-operating companies there is no step up in basis allowed. Both of the entities are non-operating entities and the fair value business combination rules do not apply.  When related parties are involved, the SEC generally will not permit the recognition of gain in the transferor’s financial statements or a step-up in basis on the transferee’s books for sales or transfers of long-lived assets. No exceptions are permitted on transactions between a parent company and a subsidiary or between subsidiaries of the same parent, other than in regulated industries when a nonregulated subsidiary sells manufactured goods to a regulated affiliate. The acquisition consideration consisted of 8,409,0981 shares of Vision Hydrogen Corporation common stock granted on the acquisition date of November 8, 2021 at a closing market price of $11.  A deemed dividend for the excess share price over cost basis of the net assets of ($1,340,426) was recorded in the amount of $93,840,427.

ITEM 9 - CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURES

None.

ITEM 9A – CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures.

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.

Based on management’s evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as a result of the material weaknesses described below, our disclosure controls and procedures are not designed at a reasonable assurance level and are ineffective to provide reasonable assurance that information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. The material weaknesses, which relate to internal control over financial reporting, that were identified are:

a)Due to our small size, we did not have sufficient personnel in our accounting and financial reporting functions. As a result, we were not able to achieve adequate segregation of duties and were not able to provide for adequate review of the financial statements. This control deficiency, which is pervasive in nature, results in a reasonable possibility that material misstatements of the consolidated financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis; and
 b)
b)We lacked sufficient written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting with respect to the requirements and application of U.S. GAAP and SEC disclosure requirements.

We intend to create written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting with respect to the requirements and application of U.S. GAAP and SEC disclosure requirements in the future.

We will continue to monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures and our internal controls over financial reporting on an ongoing basis and are committed to taking further action and implementing additional enhancements or improvements, as necessary and as funds allow.

Changes in internal control over financial reporting.

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the year ended December 31, 20202021 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Management’s report on internal control over financial reporting.

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting for our company. Internal control over financial reporting is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) promulgated under the Exchange Act, as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, a company’s principal executive and principal financial officer and effected by the our board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and includes those policies and procedures that:

(1)pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company;
   
(2)provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and
   
(3)provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible enhancements to controls and procedures.

We conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer conclude that, at December 31, 2020,2021, our internal control over financial reporting was not effective for the reason discussed above.

This annual report does not include an attestation report by Rosenberg Rich Baker Berman, P.A.,M&K CPAS PLLC, our independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. As a smaller reporting company, our management’s report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit us to provide only management’s report in this annual report.

Board Independence and Committees

We are not required to have any independent members of the Board of Directors. The board of directors has determined that each ofJudd Brammah, Andrew HidalgoHromyk and Judd BrammahAndre Jurres each has a relationship with the company which, in the opinion of the board of directors, would not allow him to be considered as an “independent director” as defined in the Marketplace Rules of The NASDAQ Stock Market.

As of the date of this annual report, we do not have any active Board committees and the Board as a whole carries out the functions of audit, nominating and compensation committees. We expect our Board of Directors, in the future, to appoint an audit committee, nominating committee and compensation committee, and to adopt charters relative to each such committee. We intend to appoint such persons to committees of the Board of Directors as are expected to be required to meet the corporate governance requirements imposed by a national securities exchange, although we are not required to comply with such requirements until we elect to seek a listing on a national securities exchange. In addition, we intend that a majority of our directors will be independent directors, of which at least one director will qualify as an “audit committee financial expert,” within the meaning of Item 407(d)(5) of Regulation S-K, as promulgated by the SEC. We do not currently have an “audit committee financial expert” since we currently do not have an audit committee in place.

Except as may be provided in our bylaws, we do not currently have specified procedures in place pursuant to which whereby security holders may recommend nominees to the Board of Directors.
