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.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.

 

Accounts Receivable

 

Accounts receivable are recorded when invoices are issued and are presented in the balance sheet net of the allowance for doubtful accounts. The allowance for doubtful accounts is estimated based on the Company’s historical losses, the existing economic conditions 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. AtAs of September 30, 20192020 and December 31, 2018,2019, 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 basedtechnology-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 40%0% of the Company’s consolidated total assets at eachas of September 30, 20192020 and 41% as of December 31, 2018.2019.

 

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.

 

The Company performed its annual impairment test for PVBJ in December of 2018. Based on the results of the qualitative testing, there was no impairment.

As of September 30, 2019,2020, the Company had recordedno goodwill and has included the write-off of goodwill in the amount of $1,373,621 related to the PVBJ acquisition. The performancecalculation of the Company’s fiscal 2018 impairment analysis did not result in an impairmentloss on disposal of the Company’s goodwill.PVBJ (see Discontinued Operations Note 16).

Investments are written down only when there is clear evidence that a decline in value that is other than temporary has occurred

Revenue Recognition

 

On January 1, 2018, theThe Company adoptedrecognizes revenue in accordance with Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)” (“ASU 2014-09”) using the modified retrospective method applied to those contracts which were not completed as of December 31, 2017. Results for reporting periods beginning January 1, 2018 are presented under ASU 2014-09, while prior period amounts are not adjusted and continue to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for the prior period.

 

Under ASU 2014-09 requirements, the Company recognizes revenue from the installation or construction of projects and service or short termshort-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 stepfive-step process is as follows:

 

Identify the Contract with a Customer

 

The Company receivesused 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 service,services, then the service isservices are considered the only performance obligation. If the contractual service includesservices 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; orand
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 is generated 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.

 

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 represent contract assets and 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.”

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 expected dividends and expected forfeiture rates.dividends.

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 2018, 2017 and 2016 income tax returns are still open for examination by the taxing authorities.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

Except for the Company’s earn-out liability, theThe 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 basedmarket-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.

Payments  - 
Adjustments to fair value  13,647

The Company values earn-out obligations using a probability weighted discounted cash flow method. This fair value measurement is based on significant unobservable inputs in the market and thus represents a Level 3 measurement within the fair value hierarchy. This analysis reflects the contractual terms of the purchase agreements (e.g., minimum and maximum payments, length of earn-out periods, manner of calculating any amounts due, etc.) and utilizes assumptions with regard to future cash flows, probabilities of achieving such future cash flows and a discount rate. The contingent earn-out obligations are measured at fair value each reporting period and changes in estimates of fair value are recognized in earnings.September 30, 2020.

 

Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share

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 “treasury stock” and/or “if converted” methodsmethod as applicable.

As 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 previously entered into two leases for office space in Woombye and Brisbane, Queensland, Australia, both which expired in April 2018. The Company signed new leases in January 2019 for a Dallas, Texas shared office space, which ends in December 2019, and February 2018 for new office space in Kunda Park, Queensland Australia, which started in May 2018 and expires in May 2023. The Company also renewed the Brisbane office space for one year, starting in May 2018.

On March 25,31, 2019 the Company signed a lease for new office spacehad $87,897 in Brisbane, which has a fixed 3% increase annually expiring in March 2025 which includes a renewal period of three years that management is reasonably certain will be exercised. 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 ancurrent 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, which was March 25, 2019, a right of use assetliability and $137,071 in non-current operating lease liability of $130,736 was recordedwhich have been re-classed to discontinued operations on the condensed consolidated balance sheet basedsheet.

On July 1, 2019 the Company signed a lease for the previously month-to-month office space in Downingtown, PA. Per review of the lease, the term is less than 12 months, therefore, the Company has elected to treat this lease as an operating lease and recognize lease expense on a straight-line basis.

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

2019 $15,225 
2020  62,491 
2021  63,615

Less: present value discount  (54,257)
Total operating lease liabilities $226,978 

The weighted-average remaining term of the Company’s operating leases was 4.5 years and the weighted-average discount rate used to measure the present value of the Company’s operating lease liabilities was 9.69% as of September 30, 2019.

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.

Finance Leases

At September 30, 2019, the Company had 13 finance leases with an aggregate net book value of $342,111. The obligations are payable in monthly installments ranging from approximately $503 to $1,578 with interest rates from 3.0% to 5.57% per annum. The leases are secured by the related equipment.

On January 2, 2018, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with two of its directors, pursuant to which the Company sold an aggregate principal amount of $400,000 in 12% Convertible Debentures (“Debentures”), convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price of $0.75 per share. The Debentures, together with any accrued and unpaid interest, become due and payable on January 2, 2020 (the “Maturity Date”). Interest on the Debentures accrues at the rate of 12% per annum, payable monthly in cash, beginning on February 1, 2018 and through the Maturity Date. The Debentures are convertible into common stock at a conversion price of $0.75 per share at the discretion of the holder, with special provisions applying to any holder whose conversion would result in the holder beneficially owning more than 4.99% of the Company’s common stock.

In connection with this convertible note payable, 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 February 8, 2019, the Debentures were amended to reduce the interest rate to 10% and reduce the conversion price to $0.50 (the “Revised Debentures”), providing the issuance of an additional 266,667 shares upon conversion. In conjunction with these amendments, the convertible note was re-evaluated in accordance with ASC 470-50 -Debt Modifications and Extinguishments(“ASC 470”), and it was determined that the change in terms resulted in a substantial modification to the beneficial conversion feature. As a result, the carrying value of the Debentures at the time of the transaction, along with the related beneficial conversion feature, were derecognized and the Revised Debentures were recorded at present value, resulting in a loss on debt extinguishment of $269,793.Of this amount, $53,333 represented the historical beneficial conversion feature and has been treated as a debt discount and is being amortized over the life of the Revised Debentures using the effective interest method.As the holders of the Debentures are related parties to the Company,ASC 470provides for treatment as a capital contribution, whereby the related extinguishment loss will instead be recorded within the Company’s Additional Paid in Capital balance. In connection with the Revised Debentures, the Company incurred $2,500 of legal fees and recorded a $160,000 beneficial conversion feature, both of which are recorded as a discount on debt and amortized over the life of the note using the effective interest method, or until the note is converted or repaid.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company incurred interest expense of $75,866 and $182,112, respectively. $41,559 related to the amortization of the 2018 Debentures debt discount and $8,685 for the 2019 Debentures debt discount for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and $99,594 related to the amortization of the 2018 Debentures and $20,981 for the 2019 Debentures for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. $7,778 and $19,113 related to interest for the Thermo credit line for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively.

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.

15.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.

The new standard provides several optional practical expedients in transition. The Company elected the ‘package of practical expedients’, which permits it not to reassess under the new standard its prior conclusions about lease identification, lease classification and initial direct costs. The Company did not elect the use-of hindsight or the practical expedient pertaining to land easements; the latter not being applicable to it. The new standard also provides practical expedients for an entity’s ongoing accounting. The Company elected the short-term lease recognition exemption for all leases that qualify. This means, for those leases that qualify, the Company will not recognize right of use assets or lease liabilities, and this includes not recognizing right of use assets or lease liabilities for existing short-term leases of those assets in transition. The Company also elected the practical expedient not to separate lease and non-lease components for all of its leases in existence at December 31, 2018, which means all consideration that is fixed, or in-substance fixed, relating to the non-lease components will be captured as part of the Company’s lease components for balance sheet purposes. For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company recognized additional lease liabilities of $261,047 with corresponding right of use assets of the same amount based on the present value of the remaining minimum rental payments for existing leases on its Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. See Note 7, “Leases,” above, for additional lease disclosures.

ASU 2017-04 eliminates Step 2 as part of the goodwill impairment test. The amount of the impairment charge to be recognized would now be the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value. The loss to be recognized cannot exceed the amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. The amendments in ASU 2017-04 are effective for annual or interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company has elected to early adopt ASU 2017-04 as of January 1, 2018. The Company has applied the guidance related to ASU 2017-04 during its annual impairment test in the fourth quarter of 2018. An entity should apply the amendments in this update on a prospective basis. An entity is required to disclose the nature of and reason for the change in accounting principle upon transition. That disclosure should be provided in the first annual period and in the interim period within the entity initially adopts the amendments in this update. The Company elected to early adopt this standard in performing their 2018 impairment test.

17.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 offices 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 quarterly financial statements, the Company has a net loss of $1,322,200 and net operating cash used in continuing operations used of $406,462 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. In addition, the Company is a start up in the renewable energy space and has generated no revenues to date.

Due to the sale of PVBJ and Pride, the Company has alleviated 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. Management has evaluated the significance of these conditions and under these circumstances expects that its current cash resources, operating cash flows and ability to secure financing would be sufficient to sustain operations for a period greater than one year from the quarterly report issuance date.

18.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, representing a 17.5% 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.

19.SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 

On October 17, 2019,September 29, 2020, Vision Hydrogen Corporation (f/k/a H/Cell Energy Corporation) filed an amendment to and restatement of its Articles of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada.

Business Overview

 

We were formed in August 2015The 2020 year has been challenging for us. Originally, we set out to expand upon the successful implementation of a hydrogen energy system used to completely power a residence or commercial property with clean energy so that it can run independent of the utility grid and also provide energy to the utility grid for monetary credits. This system uses renewable energy as its source for hydrogen production. It functions as a self-sustaining clean energy system using hydrogen and fuel cell technology. Its production of electricity is truly eco-friendly, as it is not produced by the use of fossil fuels. It is a revolutionary green-energy concept that is safe, renewable, self-sustaining and cost effective.

There are great benefits to hydrogen energy. The use of hydrogen as an energy source produces no carbon dioxide or other greenhouse gases. Unlike fossil fuels, the only emission from hydrogen is chemically pure water. Hydrogen can be extracted from water using renewable energy from the sun and unlike batteries, hydrogen can be stored indefinitely. There is no drilling, fracking or mining required to produce hydrogen. We believe it is safe and the most abundant and cleanest energy source on the planet. In addition to offering this self-sustaining clean energy system using hydrogen and fuel cell technology, we offer a number of renewable energy services, such as audits of energy consumption, review of energy/tax credits available, feasibility studies, solar/battery system installation, zoning/permitting analysis, site design/preparation and restoration, system startup, testing, commissioning, maintenance and interconnection applications.

We have succeeded in developing and installing 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 are combinedpossessed technicians who could be trained in the design and deployment 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. Hydrogen production that can be transported for vehicles. 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 renewable solarour goal of developing the market for hydrogen energy to produce clean electricity. We callsystems. Further, the hydrogen energy systemmarket 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 HC-1. The HC-1 system functionsfollowing 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
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

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 self-sustaining renewable energy system. It can be configured as an off grid solution for all your electricity needs or it can be connectedmanner 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 gridterms 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 generate energy credits. It ishim, 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 16).

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. We obtained a system comprisedvaluation of solar, batteries, a hydrogen generator, a fuel cellthe fair market value of Pride from an independent third party which valued Pride at $425,000. 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 hydrogen storage tank.managing member of Turquino, are related parties in connection with the Exchange Agreement, the Notes, and the Agreement.

 

When there is sunlight, the solar produce renewable energy that charges a bank of batteries. After the batteries are fully charged, the excess electricity is then combined with water through a hydrogen generator that extracts the hydrogen from the water in a gasified state, which is safely transferred to a tank and stored for later use. If the tank is full, excess electricity is sent from the batteries to the utility grid, which results in energy credits for the system owner. The electricity for the end user is always provided by the charged batteries. If there is no solar power to charge the batteries, the system keeps the batteries fully charged by using the hydrogen gas stored in the tank, which processed through a fuel cell, creates the electricity to charge the batteries. As the system is able to produce its own hydrogen gas, which keeps the tank full, it provides a continuous supply of clean energy and sustainability that is independent from the grid. Each HC-1 system is custom designed to accommodate the electrical loads for an end user. The system is completely scalable.

If a customer wishes to connect the system to the electrical grid in order to generate renewable energy credits, we obtain interconnection agreements from the local electric utility company. If the customer obtains authorization for interconnection to the utility grid, once the HC-1 system is operational, the HC-1 system owner can eliminate their electric bill and, if in a permissible state, can begin generating energy credits. In certain states, an end user receives one energy credit for each 1,000 kilowatt hours (kWh) produced through renewal energy. The customer sells these credits to a broker, who in turn sells the credits to a utility company so that the utility company can demonstrate their compliance with the regulatory obligations to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The price per credit can vary depending on supply and demand. Many other states that may not offer an energy credit program, do offer other cash incentives for renewable energy systems.

On January 31, 2017, we acquired The Pride Group (QLD) Pty Ltd, an Australian company (“Pride”). Founded in 1997, Pride is a provider of security systems integration for a variety of customers in the government and commercial sector and has launched a new clean energy division to focus on the high growth renewable energy market in Asia-Pacific. On February 1, 2018, we acquired PVBJ Inc. (“PVBJ”). Established in 2008, PVBJ is a regionally recognized company that specializes in HVAC and refrigeration for commercial and residential customers. The services offered include design, installation, repair, maintenance and emergency services for environmental systems. PVBJ has a highly trained technical team that is experienced in all aspects of environmental systems. PVBJ covers the U.S. Mid-Atlantic market. PVBJ is also establishing a clean energy division so that it can offer hydrogen energy systems to its existing customer base.

Current Operating Trends

 

Currently, a number of technicians are licensed to install our HC-1 systems in the Mid-Atlantic region of the U.S. and Australia. In addition to recently establishing a clean energy division, Pride is a highly regarded and established company that designs, installs and maintains a variety of technology products in the security systems market. Pride also provides annual maintenance programs which amount to approximately AUD $2 million per annum. Pride currently generates approximately half of its revenue from government contracts and the other half from the commercial sector. Pride is a certified and licensed security systems integrator for the Queensland Government and has various government contracts in place for installation, maintenance and project services.

PVBJ is well recognized for the design, installation, maintenance and emergency service of environmental systems both in residential and commercial markets. The subsidiary has a team of technicians that can install and service a variety of HVAC and refrigeration products. PVBJ is certified and licensed in multiple states and has developed an extensive customer base. PVBJ is now expanding into clean energy systems and employs technicians that are familiar with installing environmental systems requiring electrical, plumbing and gases, which is similar to the installation of an HC-1 system.

We intend to aggressively grow our business, both organically and through strategic acquisitions. Our goal is to acquire companies with the licenses and certifications to operate in various states and countries. This will allow us to expand the geographic areas in which we can install our systems. These acquired companies will also provide us with a consistent revenue stream, a customer base for marketing our systems and technicians that can be trained to install our products and services. Initially, we intend to focus on states or countries whose government supports a regulatory standard requiring its utility companies to increase their production of electricity from renewable energy sources. This overall approach is more cost effective than the protracted nature of opening an office, hiring staff and obtaining certifications to operate in a specific geographic area. As of the date of this quarterly report, we have no written agreements or understandings to acquire any companies and no assurances can be given that we will identify or successfully acquire any other companies.

In the future we expect to incur expenses related to compliance for being a public company and travel related to visiting potential customer sites.company. We expect that our general and administrative expenses will increase as we expand our business development, add infrastructure, and incur additional costs related to being a public company, including incremental audit fees, investor relations programs and increased professional services.

 

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. When we enter into contracts with customers, they will be required to make payments in tranches, including a payment after a contract is executed but prior to commencement of the project. We believe our existing cash together with revenue generated by operations, will be sufficient to fund our operating expenses and capital equipment requirements for at least the next 12 months.

 

Other than a line of credit from Thermo Communications Funding, LLC (“Thermo”) andOn October 14, 2020, we filed an equity purchase agreement with GHS Investments LLC (“GHS”) discussed below, we presently do not have any available credit, bank financing or other external sources of liquidity. We did not achieve net income from operations for the three or nine months ended September 30, 2019 or the year ended December 31, 2018 and our operations historically have not been a source of liquidity and we cannot be assured they will be in the near future. We may need to obtain additional capital in order to expand operations and fund our activities. Future financing may include the issuance of equity or debt securities, obtaining credit facilities, or other financing mechanisms. Even if we are able to raise the funds if required, it is possible that we could incur unexpected costs and expenses, fail to collect significant amounts owed to us, or experience unexpected cash requirements that would force us to seek alternative financing. Furthermore, if we issue additional equity or debt securities, stockholders may experience additional dilution or the new equity securities may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of existing holders of our common stock. If additional financing is not available or is not available on acceptable terms, we may be required to delay, reduce the scope of or eliminate our marketing and business development services.

Credit Facility

On August 21, 2018, PVBJ entered into a loan and security agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with Thermo. The Credit Agreement provides for a revolving line of credit in an amount not to exceed $350,000, which is evidenced by a promissory note issued by PVBJ to Thermo (the “Note”). Pursuant to the Credit Agreement, PVBJ granted a security interest to Thermo in all of its assets. In addition, pursuantS-1 registration statement offering up to a limited recourse guaranty, Andrew Hidalgo, our Chief Executive Officer, personally guaranteed the repaymentmaximum of the Credit Agreement under certain conditions.

Pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement, we are permitted to borrow up to $350,000 under the revolving credit line, under a borrowing base equal to the lesser of (i) or 85% of Eligible Accounts (as defined in the Credit Agreement). Borrowings under the Credit Agreement may be used for working capital and to refinance certain existing debt of PVBJ. The Credit Agreement contains certain customary representations and warranties, affirmative and negative covenants, and events of default. Principal covenants include a debt service coverage ratio of not less than 1.15 to 1.0, a fixed charge coverage ratio of not less than 1.15 to 1.0, and maintaining a tangible net worth of at least $150,000, excluding intercompany loans. As of September 30, 2019, we were in compliance with these covenants. The loan commitment was increased in August 2019 to $400,000.

The loan commitment shall expire on August 21, 2020. The interest rate applicable to revolving loans under the Credit Agreement is prime plus 5.0%, subject to a minimum interest rate of 9.5%. We paid a loan commitment fee of $7,000, of which $3,500 was paid on closing, and $3,500 will be paid on the first anniversary. We will also pay a monthly monitoring fee during the term of the Credit Agreement of 0.33% of the average outstanding balance, payable monthly in arrears.

We may prepay the Note at any time and terminate the Credit Agreement. In the event that we terminate the Credit Agreement, we will pay Thermo an early termination fee equal to 4% of the pro rata portion, which pro rata portion is determined by multiplying $350,000 by the number of months prior to the second anniversary of the effective date of the Credit Agreement and then dividing that by 24.

The obligations of PVBJ under the Credit Agreement may be accelerated upon the occurrence of an event of default under the Credit Agreement, which includes customary events of default including, without limitation, payment defaults, defaults in the performance of affirmative and negative covenants, the inaccuracy of representations or warranties, cross-defaults, bankruptcy and insolvency related defaults, defaults relating to judgments, an ERISA reportable event occurs, a change of control and a change in our financial condition that could have a material adverse effect on us.

Such sales of common stock by us, if any, may occur from time to time, at our option, over the 24-month period commencing on July 31, 2019.

Based on management’s evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of September 30, 2019,2020, 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)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 when funds permit.

 

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 quarter ended September 30, 20192020 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
