The Peck Company Holding, Inc.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

 

Note 1. SUMMARY OF OPERATIONS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

a) Organization

 

The Peck Company Holdings, Inc. is a solar engineering, construction and procurement contractor for commercial and industrial customers across the Northeastern United States. The Company also provides electrical contracting services and data and communication services. The work is performed under fixed-price and modified fixed-price contracts and time and materials contracts. The Company is incorporated in the State of Delaware and has its corporate headquarters in South Burlington, Vermont.

 

On February 26, 2019, Peck Electric Co., a privately held company, entered into a Share Exchange Agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”) with Jensyn Acquisition Corp. (“Jensyn”), a publicly held company whose primary business objective was to acquire, through a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, recapitalization, reorganization or other similar business combination (the “Reverse Merger and Recapitalization”), with one or more target businesses (a special purpose acquisition company or “SPAC”). On June 20, 2019, with the approval of the stockholders of each of Peck Electric Co. and Jensyn, the Reverse Merger and Recapitalization was completed. In connection with the Reverse Merger and Recapitalization, Jensyn issued 3,234,501 shares of Jensyn’s Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), to the stockholders of the Peck Electric Co. in exchange for all of the equity securities of Peck Electric Co., and Peck Electric Co. became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Jensyn. While Jensyn was the surviving legal entity, Peck Company Holdings, Inc. was deemed the acquiring entity for accounting purposes. Concurrent with the completion of the Reverse Merger and Recapitalization, Jensyn changed its name from “Jensyn Acquisition Corp.” to “The Peck Company Holdings, Inc.” and the symbol for its Common Stock traded on Nasdaq became “PECK”. Unless the context otherwise requires, “we,” “us,” “our,” “Peck Company” and the “Company” refer to the combined company.

 

b) Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and nine months ended March 31,September 30, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2020 or any other period. The accompanying financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements and related notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.

As a result of the Reverse Merger and Recapitalization, the Company implemented changes to the following accounting policies, adoption of an accounting policy for income taxes in the second quarter of 2019, updated accounting policy for earnings per share, deferred finance costs, fair value of financial instruments and the adoption of a new revenue recognition policy.

c) Revenue Recognition

 

1) Revenue Recognition Standard

 

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). The ASU and all subsequently issued clarifying ASUs replaced most existing revenue recognition guidance in U.S. GAAP. The ASU also required expanded disclosures relating to the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. The Company adopted the new standard in the fourth quarter 2019, effective January 1, 2019, the first day of the Company’s fiscal year, using the modified retrospective method.

 

As part of the adoption of the ASU, the Company elected to use the following transition practical expedients: (i) completed contracts that begin and end in the same annual reporting period have not been restated; (ii) the Company used the known transaction price for completed contracts; (iii) to exclude disclosures of transaction prices allocated to remaining performance obligations when the Company expects to recognize such revenue for all periods prior to the date of initial application of the ASU; and (iv) the Company has reflected the aggregate of all contract modifications that occurred prior to the date of initial application when identifying the satisfied and unsatisfied performance obligations, determining the transaction price, and allocating the transaction price.

 

The majority of the Company’s revenue is recognized over time based on the percentage of completion method with cost inputs. Revenue recognized over time primarily consists of performance obligations that are satisfied within one year or less. The majority of the Company’s revenue arrangements generally consist of a single performance obligation to transfer promised goods or servicesservices.

 

2) Revenue Recognition Policy

 

Solar Power Systems Sales and Engineering, Procurement, and Construction Services

 

The Company recognizes revenue from the sale of solar power systems, Engineering, Procurement and Construction (“EPC”) services, and other construction type contracts over time, as performance obligations are satisfied, due to the continuous transfer of control to the customer. Construction contracts, such as the sale of a solar power system combined with EPC services, are generally accounted for as a single unit of account (a single performance obligation) and are not segmented between types of services. Our contracts often require significant services to integrate complex activities and equipment into a single deliverable and are therefore generally accounted for as a single performance obligation, even when delivering multiple distinct services. For such services, the Company recognizes revenue using the cost to cost method, based primarily on contract cost incurred to date compared to total estimated contract cost. The cost to cost method (an input method) is the most faithfulaccurate depiction of the Company’s performance because it directly measures the value of the services transferred to the customer. Cost of revenue includes an allocation of indirect costs including depreciation and amortization. Subcontractor materials, labor and equipment, are included in revenue and cost of revenue when management believes that the Company is acting as a principal rather than as an agent (i.e., the Company integrates the materials, labor and equipment into the deliverables promised to the customer). Changes to total estimated contract cost or losses, if any, are recognized in the period in which they are determined as assessed at the contract level. Pre-contract costs are expensed as incurred unless they are expected to be recovered from the customer. As of March 31,September 30, 2020, the Company had $0 in pre-contract costs classified as a current asset under contract assets on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. Project mobilization costs are generally charged to project costs as incurred when they are an integrated part of the performance obligation being transferred to the client. Customer payments on construction contracts are typically due within 30 to 45 days of billing, depending on the contract. Sales and other taxes the Company collects concurrent with revenue-producing activities are excluded from revenue.

 

For sales of solar power systems in which the Company sells a controlling interest in the project to a customer, revenue is recognized for the consideration received when control of the underlying project is transferred to the customer. Revenue may also be recognized for the sale of a solar power system after it has been completed due to the timing of when a sales contract has been entered into with the customer.

 

Energy Generation

 

Revenue from net metering credits is recorded as electricity is generated from the solar arrays and billed to customers (PPA off-taker) at the price rate stated in the applicable power purchase agreement (PPA).

 

8

Operation and Maintenance and Other Miscellaneous Services

 

Revenue for time and materials contracts is recognized as the service is provided.

 

3) Disaggregation of Revenue from Contracts with Customers

 

The following table disaggregates the Company’s revenue based on the timing of satisfaction of performance obligations for the three and nine months ended March 31:September 30:

 

 Three Months Ended
September 30,
  Nine Months Ended
September 30,
 
 2020  2019  2020  2019 
 March 31, 2020 March 31, 2019          
Performance obligations satisfied over time                        
Solar $3,229,844  $2,451,716  $3,840,231  $9,852,848  $9,162,303  $17,060,573 
Electrical  491,640   1,133,106 
Electric  679,339   1,541,210   1,653,545   3,908,634 
Data and Network  263,196   265,655   446,456   355,522   905,084   908,963 
Total $3,984,680  $3,850,477  $4,966,026  $11,749,580  $11,720,932  $21,878,170 

 

During the periods ended March 31,September 30, 2020 and 2019, there was no revenue recognized based on the satisfaction of performance obligation at a point in time.

 

4) Variable Consideration

 

The nature of the Company’s contracts gives rise to several types of variable consideration, including claims and unpriced change orders; award and incentive fees; and liquidated damages and penalties. The Company recognizes revenue for variable consideration when it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur. The Company estimates the amount of revenue to be recognized on variable consideration using the expected value (i.e., the sum of a probability-weighted amount) or the most likely amount method, whichever is expected to better predict the amount. Factors considered in determining whether revenue associated with claims (including change orders in dispute and unapproved change orders in regard to both scope and price) should be recognized include the following: (a) the contract or other evidence provides a legal basis for the claim, (b) additional costs were caused by circumstances that were unforeseen at the contract date and not the result of deficiencies in the Company’s performance, (c) claim-related costs are identifiable and considered reasonable in view of the work performed, and (d) evidence supporting the claim is objective and verifiable. If the requirements for recognizing revenue for claims or unapproved change orders are met, revenue is recorded only when the costs associated with the claims or unapproved change orders have been incurred. Back charges to suppliers or subcontractors are recognized as a reduction of cost when it is determined that recovery of such cost is probable and the amounts can be reliably estimated. Disputed back charges are recognized when the same requirements described above for claims accounting have been satisfied.

 

5) Remaining Performance Obligation

 

Remaining performance obligations, or backlog, represents the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to the remaining obligations that the Company has not performed under its customer contracts. The Company has elected to use the optional exemption in ASC 606-10-50-14, which exempts an entity from such disclosures if a performance obligation is part of a contract with an original expected duration of one year or less.

 

6) Warranties

 

The Company generally provides limited warranties for work performed under its construction contracts. The warranty periods typically extend for a limited duration following substantial completion of the Company’s work on a project. Historically, warranty claims have not resulted in material costs incurred, and any estimated costs for warranties are included in the individual contract cost estimates for purposes of accounting for long-term contracts.

 

e) Accounts Receivable

 

Accounts receivable are recorded when invoices are issued and presented on the condensed balance sheet net of the allowance for doubtful accounts. The allowance, which was $84,000 at March 31,September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, is estimated based on historical losses, the existing economic condition, and the financial stability of the Company’s customers. Accounts are written off against the reserve when they are determined to be uncollectible.

9

f) Project Assets

 

Project assets primarily consist of costs related to solar power projects that are in various stages of development that are capitalized prior to the completion of the sale of the project, and are actively marketed and intended to be sold. In contrast to contract assets, the Company holds a controlling interest in the project itself. These project related costs include costs for land, development, and construction of a PV solar power system. Development costs may include legal, consulting, permitting, transmission upgrade, interconnection, and other similar costs. The Company typically classifies project assets as noncurrent due to the nature of solar power projects (long-lived assets) and the time required to complete all activities to develop, construct, and sell projects, which is typically longer than 12 months. Once the Company enters into a definitive sales agreement, such project assets are classified as current until the sale is completed and the Company has met all of the criteria to recognize the sale as revenue. Any income generated by a project while it remains within project assets is accounted for as a reduction to the basis in the project. If a project is completed and begins commercial operation prior to the closing of a sales arrangement, the completed project will remain in project assets until placed in service. All expenditures related to the development and construction of project assets, whether fully or partially owned, are presented as a component of cash flows from operating activities. Project assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. A project is considered commercially viable or recoverable if it is anticipated to be sold for a profit once it is either fully developed or fully constructed. A partially developed or partially constructed project is considered to be commercially viable or recoverable if the anticipated selling price is higher than the carrying value of the related project assets. The Company examines a number of factors to determine if the project is expected to be recoverable, including whether there are any changes in environmental, permitting, market pricing, regulatory, or other conditions that may impact the project. Such changes could cause the costs of the project to increase or the selling price of the project to decrease. If a project is not considered recoverable, we impair the respective project assets and adjust the carrying value to the estimated fair value, with the resulting impairment recorded within “Selling, general and administrative” expense.

 

Project Asset were $0 for the three and nine months ended March 31,September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

 

g) Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment greater than $1,000 are recorded at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Cost includes the price paid to acquire or construct the assets, required installation costs, and any expenditures that substantially add to the value or substantially extend the useful life of the assets.

 

The solar arrays represent project assets that the Company may temporarily own and operate after being placed into service. The Company reports solar arrays at cost, less accumulated depreciation. The Company begins depreciation on the solar arrays when they are placed in service.

 

Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The estimated useful lives are as follows:

 

Buildings and improvements39 years
Vehicles3-5 years
Tools and equipment3-7 years
Solar arrays20 years

 

Total depreciation expense for the three months ended March 31,September 30, 2020 and March 31,September 30, 2019 was $155,012$138,164 and $150,483,$155,169, respectively. Total depreciation expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019 was $448,189 and $466,222, respectively.

 

The cost of assets sold, retired, or otherwise disposed of, and the related allowance for depreciation are eliminated from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is included in operations. The cost of maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred, while significant renewals or betterments are capitalized.

 

h) Long-Lived Assets

 

The Company assesses long-lived assets, including property and equipment, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances arise, including consideration of technological obsolescence, that may indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. These events and changes in circumstances may include a significant decrease in the market price of a long-lived asset; a significant adverse change in the extent or manner in which a long-lived asset is being used or in its physical condition; a significant adverse change in the business climate that could affect the value of a long-lived asset; an accumulation of costs significantly in excess of the amount originally expected for the acquisition or construction of a long-lived asset; a current period operating or cash flow loss combined with a history of such losses or a projection of future losses associated with the use of a long-lived asset; or a current expectation that, more likely than not, a long-lived asset will be sold or otherwise disposed of significantly before the end of its previously estimated useful life. For purposes of recognition and measurement of an impairment loss, long-lived assets are grouped with other assets and liabilities at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other assets and liabilities.

10

When impairment indicators are present, the Company compares undiscounted future cash flows, including the eventual disposition of the asset group at market value, to the asset group’s carrying value to determine if the asset group is recoverable. If the carrying value of the asset group exceeds the undiscounted future cash flows, the Company measures any impairment by comparing the fair value of the asset group to its carrying value. Fair value is generally determined by considering (i) internally developed discounted cash flows for the asset group, (ii) third-party valuations, and/or (iii) information available regarding the current market value for such assets.

 

If the fair value of an asset group is determined to be less than its carrying value, an impairment in the amount of the difference is recorded in the period that the impairment indicator occurs. Estimating future cash flows requires significant judgment, and such projections may vary from the cash flows eventually realized.

 

The Company considers a long-lived asset to be abandoned after the Company has ceased use of such asset and they have no intent to use or repurpose the asset in the future. Abandoned long-lived assets are recorded at their salvage value, if any.

 

i) Asset Retirement Obligations

 

The Company develops, constructs, and operates certain solar arrays with land lease agreements that include a requirement for the removal of the assets at the end of the term of the agreement. The Company recognizes such asset retirement obligations (“ARO”) in the period in which they are incurred based on the present value of estimated third-party recommissioning costs, and they capitalize the associated asset retirement costs as part of the carrying amount of the related assets. Once an asset is placed into service, the asset retirement cost is subsequently depreciated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the asset. Changes in AROs resulting from the passage of time are recognized as an increase in the carrying amount of the liability and as accretion expense. The AROs were not deemed significant to the financial statements and were therefore not recorded as a liability at March 31,September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019.

 

j) Concentration and Credit Risks

 

The Company occasionally has cash balances in a single financial institution during the year in excess of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation limit of up to $250,000 per financial institution. The differences between book and bank balances are outstanding checks and deposits in transit. At March 31,September 30, 2020, the uninsured balances were immaterial.

 

k) Income Taxes

 

Through June 20, 2019 (the date of the closing of the Exchange Agreement) the former Peck Electric had elected to be taxed as an S-Corporation under the Internal Revenue Code and similar codes in states in which the Company was subject to taxation. While this election was in effect, the income (whether distributed or not) was taxed for federal income tax purposes to former Peck Electric stockholders. Accordingly, no provision for federal income tax was required. However, the Company did calculate a proforma provision. The provision for income taxes for former Peck Electric was primarily for Vermont minimum taxes. As of the date of the completion of the Exchange Agreement, the Company effectively became a C-Corporation, which changed the level of taxation from the stockholders to the Company. The deferred tax assets and liabilities that arise out of the change of tax status have been recorded to account for the temporary differences that existed on the date of the change resulting in a deferred tax liability of $1,506,362.

 

The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability 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 basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to be applied 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, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The financial statements of the Company account for deferred tax assets and liabilities in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 740, Income taxes.

 

The Company also uses a more-likely-than-not measurement for all tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return in order for those tax positions to be recognized in the financial statements. If the Company were to incur interest and penalties related to income taxes, these would be included in the provision for income taxes. Generally, the three tax years previously filed remain subject to examination by federal and state tax authorities.

l) Sales Tax

11

 

The Company’s accounting policy is to exclude state sales tax collected and remitted from revenues and costs of sales, respectively.

 

m)l) Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and revenues and expenses during the reporting period. On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates their estimates, including those related to inputs used to recognize revenue over time, specifically percentage-of-completion. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

n)m) Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

Prior to June 20, 2019, the Company was defined as a non-public entity for purposes of applying transition guidance related to new or revised accounting standards under GAAP, and was required to adopt new or revised accounting standards after the required adoption dates that applied to public companies. Subsequent to June 20, 2019, the Company maintains its emerging growth company status until no later than December 31, 2021. The Company will maintain the election available to an emerging growth company to use any extended transition period applicable to non-public companies when complying with a new or revised accounting standard. The Company retains its emerging growth status and therefore elects to adopt new or revised accounting standards on the adoption date required for a private company.

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02,Leases (Topic 842), to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing a right-of-use asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. Leases will be classified as either operating or financing, with such classifications affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the income statement. ASU 2016-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and early adoption is permitted. This standardASU 2016-02 was recently delayed for emerging growth companies that elected to adopt new accounting standards on the adoption date required for private companies and will be effective for the Company’s annual reporting period in 2022 and interim periods beginning first quarter of 2023. The Company is evaluating the impact ASU 2016-02 will have on its financial statements and associated disclosures.

 

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13,Financial Instruments-Credit losses (Topic 326). This new guidance will change how entities account for credit impairment for trade and other receivables, as well as for certain financial assets and other instruments. The update will replace the current incurred loss model with an expected loss model. Under the incurred loss model, a loss (or allowance) is recognized only when an event has occurred (such as a payment delinquency) that causes the entity to believe that a loss is probable (that is has been “incurred”). Under the expected loss model, a loss (or allowance) is recognized upon initial recognitions of the asset that reflects all future events that leads to a loss being realized, regardless of whether it is probable that the future event will occur. The incurred loss model considers past events and conditions, while the expected loss model includes expectations for the future which have yet to occur. ASU 2018-19 was issued in November 2018 and excludes operating leases from the new guidance. The standard will require entities to record a cumulative-effect adjustment to the balance sheet as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is effective. As an Emerging Growth Company, the standard is effective for the Company’s 2022 annual reporting period and interim periods beginning first quarter of 2023. The Company is evaluating the impact of ASU 2016-13 will have on its financial statements and associated disclosures.

 

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12,Income Taxes (Topic 740).This ASU reduces the complexity over accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions and amending guidance to improve consistent application of accounting over income taxes. We are currently assessing the provision of this guidance to determine whether or not its adoption will have an impact on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. The guidance is effective January 1, 2021 with early adoption permitted.

 

o)In January 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-01, Investments-Equity Securities (Topic 321), Investments-Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323), and Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815). This ASU clarifies the interaction among accounting standards for equity securities, equity method investments and certain derivatives. We are currently assessing the provisions of this guidance to determine whether or not its adoption will have an impact on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020 with early adoption permitted.

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-08, Codification Improvements (Subtopic 310-20), Receivables-Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs. This ASU states that an entity should reevaluate whether a callable debt security is within the scope of Paragraph 310-20-35-33 for each reporting period. We are currently assessing the provisions of this guidance to determine whether or not its adoption will have an impact on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021 with early adoption permitted.

In September 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-09, Debt (Topic 470). This ASU amends SEC paragraphs pursuant to SEC release No. 33-10762. We are currently assessing the provisions of this guidance to determine whether or not its adoption will have an impact on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021 with early adoption permitted.

n) Deferred Finance Costs

 

Deferred financing costs relate to the Company’s debt and equity instruments. Deferred financing costs relating to debt instruments are amortized over the terms of the related instrument using the effective interest method. The Company incurred $21,547 of deferred financing costs for the year ended December 31, 2019 in connection with a refinance of its revolving line of credit. Amortization expense associated with deferred financing costs, which is included in interest expense, totaled $1,535$207 for the three months ended March 31,September 30, 2020 and $0 for the three months ended March 31,September 30, 2019. Amortization expense associated with deferred financing costs, which is included in interest expense, totaled $3,277 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and $0 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. Debt financing costs relating to the equity credit line were offset against additional paid in capital as the shares issued were fully earned on the execution of the agreement. The Company incurred $413,032 of deferred financing costs that was recorded to additional paid in capital for the year ended December 31, 2019.

 

12

p)o) Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The Company’s financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, cash collateral deposited with insurance carriers, deferred compensation plan liabilities, accounts payable and other current liabilities, and debt obligations.

 

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or the amount paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The fair value guidance establishes a valuation hierarchy, which requires maximizing the use of observable inputs when measuring fair value. The three levels of inputs that may be used are: (i) Level 1 - quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; (ii) Level 2 - observable market-based inputs or other observable inputs; and (iii) Level 3 - significant unobservable inputs that cannot be corroborated by observable market data, which are generally determined using valuation models incorporating management estimates of market participant assumptions. In instances in which the inputs used to measure fair value fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the fair value measurement classification is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. Management’s assessment of the significance of a particular item to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, including the consideration of inputs specific to the asset or liability.

 

Fair values of financial instruments are estimated using public market prices, quotes from financial institutions and other available information. Due to their short-term maturity, the carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and other current liabilities approximate their fair values. Management believes the carrying values of notes and other receivables, cash collateral deposited with insurance carriers, and outstanding balances on its credit facilities approximate their fair values.

 

The earnout provision of the Share Exchange is considered a Level 3 measurement. Given that the probability of such provisions being achieved is highly unlikely, no value was assigned to the earnout provision.

 

q) Subsequent Events

The Company has evaluated subsequent events through the date of this filing and based on its evaluation there are no events that are required to be disclosed herein.

r) Cash and cash equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with an original maturity of three months or less as cash equivalents.

Note 2. EXCHANGE AGREEMENT/REVERSE MERGER AND RECAPITALIZATION

 

As discussed in Note 1, on June 20, 2019, the Company consummated the Reverse Merger and Recapitalization pursuant to the Exchange Agreement between Jensyn and Peck Electric Co. The materials actions arising from the agreement are outlined below:

 

a) Exchange of Shares

 

Upon the closing of the Exchange Agreement, the stockholders of Peck Electric Co. exchanged their shares of capital stock in Peck Electric Co. for 3,234,501 shares of the Jensyn’s Common Stock (the “Share Exchange”), representing approximately 59% of Jensyn’s outstanding shares after giving effect to the Reverse Merger and Recapitalization. As a result of the Share Exchange, Peck Electric became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.

13

 

Upon the closing of the Reverse Merger and Recapitalization and after giving effect to the issuances of Common Stock and the conversion of 4,194,500 rights to purchase Common Stock into 419,450 shares of Common Stock. In addition, 1,819,482 shares of the Company’s Common Stock were issued to Jensyn shareholders upon the closing of the Reverse Merger and Recapitalization.

The primary purpose of GSI is to facilitate the green bond platform and provide capital for the acquisition of solar projects by SPP.

The investment in SPP provides the Company with the opportunity to retain a long-term ownership in the completed solar projects. As such, the Company recorded the investments as long-term other assets.

Pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, the Company subscribed for 500,000 Units of Class B Preferred Membership units of GSI in exchange for 200,000 shares of the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock (the “Preferred Shares”). In addition to the investment of Preferred Shares by the Company, GSI obtain additional capital contributions which valued the Units at $10.00 per Unit.

The Company recorded deferred income tax expense and a corresponding deferred tax liability of $1,098,481 as of and for the year ended December 31, 2019, of which $1,506,362 was recorded at the time of conversion to a C Corporation (see note 1 (k) income taxes).

Premiums are developed through the use of an actuarially determined loss forecast. Premiums paid totaled $174,891 and $117,528 for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The loss funding, derived from the actuarial forecast, is broken-out into two categories by the actuary known as the “A & B” Funds. The “A” Fund pays for the first $100,000 of any loss and the “B” Fund contributes to the remainder of the loss layer up to $300,000 total per occurrence.

 

Each shareholder has equal ownership and invests a one-time cash capitalization of $36,000. This is broken out into two categories, $35,900 of redeemable preference shares and $100 for a single common share. Each shareholder represents a single and equal vote on NCL’s Board of Directors.

Note 14.15. EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE

 

Basic earnings (loss) per share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period, excluding the effects of any potentially dilutive securities. Diluted EPS gives effect to the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock.

 

As a result of the Reverse Merger and Recapitalization, the Company has retrospectively adjusted the weighted average of shares of common stock outstanding prior to June 20, 2019 by multiplying them by the exchange ratio used to determine the number of shares of common stock into which they converted.

The Company has contingent share arrangements and warrants arising from the Reverse Merger and Recapitalization and Jensyn’s IPO as discussed in Note 2.2 and the Exchange and Subscription Agreement discussed in Note 3. The potential issuance of additional shares of Common Stock from these arrangements were excluded from the diluted EPS calculation because the prevailing market and operating conditions at the present time do not indicate that any additional shares of Common Stock will be issued. These instruments could result in dilution in future periods. As of September 30, 2020, the earnout shares were forfeited. Below is a schedule of the potential share issuances arising from these contingencies that were excluded from the calculations above:

Item 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

 

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the three and nine months ended March 31,September 30, 2020 and March 31,September 30, 2019 and related notes included in Part 1, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The following discussion and analysis should also be read together with our audited consolidated financial statements and related notes for the year ended December 31, 2019.

 

Forward-Looking Statements

 

This discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements about our plans and expectations of what may happen in the future. Forward-looking statements are based on a number of assumptions and estimates that are inherently subject to significant risks and uncertainties, and our actual results could differ materially from the results anticipated by our forward-looking statements. Our future results and financial condition may also differ materially from those that we currently anticipate as a result of the factors described in the sections entitled “Risk Factors” in the filings that we make with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Throughout this section, unless otherwise noted, “we,” “us,” “our” and the “Company” refer to The Peck Company Holdings, Inc.

 

Business Introduction / Overview

 

The Peck Company Holdings, Inc., the principal office of which is located in South Burlington, Vermont, is one of the largest commercial solar engineering, procurement and construction (“EPC”) companies in the country and is expanding across the Northeastern United States (“U.S.”). The Company is a second-generation family business founded under the name Peck Electric Co. (“Peck Electric”) in 1972 as a traditional electrical contractor. The Company’s core values are to align people, purpose, and profitability, and since taking leadership in 1994, Jeffrey Peck, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, has applied such core values to expand into the solar industry. Today, the Company is guided by the mission to facilitate the reduction of carbon emissions through the expansion of clean, renewable energy and we believe that leveraging such core values to deploy resources toward profitable business is the only sustainable strategy to achieve these objectives.

 

The world recognizes the need to transition to a reliable, renewable energy grid in the next 50 years. Vermont and Hawaii are leading the way in the U.S. with renewable energy goals of 75% by 2032 and 100% by 2045, respectively. California committed to 100% carbon-free energy by 2045. The majority of the other states in the U.S. also have renewable energy goals regardless of current Federal solar policy. We are a member of Renewable Energy Vermont, an organization that advocates for clean, practical and renewable solar energy. The Company intends to use near-term incentives to take advantage of long-term, sustainable energy transformation with a commitment to the environment and to its shareholders. Our triple bottom line, which is geared towards people, environment, and profit, has always been our guide since we began installing renewable energy and we intend that it remain our guide over the next 50 years as we construct our energy future.

 

After installing more than 125 megawatts of solar energy, we believe that we are well-positioned for what we believe to be the coming transformation to an all renewable energy economy. As a result of the completion of our business combination transaction with Jensyn Acquisition Corp. (“Jensyn”) on June 20, 2019, pursuant to which we acquired Peck Electric Co. (the “Reverse Merger and Recapitalization”), we have now opened our family company to the public market as part of our strategic growth plan. We are expanding across the Northeastern U.S. to serve the fast-growing demand for clean renewable energy. We are open to partnering with others to accelerate our growth process, and we are expanding our portfolio of company-owned solar arrays to establish recurring revenue streams for many years to come. We have established a leading presence in the market after five decades of successfully serving our customers, and we are now ready for new opportunities and the next five decades of success.

 

We have a three-pronged growth strategy that includes (1) organic expansion across the Northeastern United States, (2) conducting accretive merger and acquisition transactions to expand geographically, and (3) investing into company-owned solar assets.

 

Equity and Ownership Structure

 

On June 20, 2019, Jensyn consummated the Reverse Merger and Recapitalization, which resulted in the acquisition of 100% of the issued and outstanding equity securities of Peck Electric by Jensyn, and in Peck Electric becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of Jensyn. Jensyn was originally incorporated as a special purpose acquisition company, formed for the purpose of entering into a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, recapitalization, reorganization or other similar Recapitalization. Simultaneously with the Reverse Merger and Recapitalization, we changed our name to “The Peck Company Holdings, Inc.” We conduct all of our business operations exclusively through our wholly-owned subsidiary, Peck Electric. Unless the context otherwise requires, “we,” “us,” “our” and the “Company” refers to The Peck Company Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiary after June 20, 2019, and “Peck Electric” refers to the business of Peck Electric before June 20, 2019. Upon closing of the Reverse Merger and Recapitalization, Peck Electric was deemed the accounting acquirer and takes over the historical information for the Company.

Critical Accounting Policies

 

The following discussion and analysis of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations are based upon the Company’s financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The preparation of these financial statements requires the Company to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP 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. Significant estimates include estimates used to review the Company’s, impairments and estimations of long-lived assets, revenue recognition utilizing a cost to cost method, allowances for uncollectible accounts, valuation of preferred shares, warrants and the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets. 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.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

We recognize revenue from contracts with customers under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606 (“Topic 606”). Under Topic 606, revenue is recognized when, or as, control of promised goods and services is transferred to customers, and the amount of revenue recognized reflects the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled in exchange for the goods and services transferred. We primarily recognize revenue over time utilizing the cost-to-cost measure of progress on contracts for specific projects and for certain master service and other service agreements.

 

Contracts.We derive revenue primarily from construction projects performed under: (i) master and other service agreements, which are typically priced using either a time and materials or a fixed price per unit basis; and (ii) contracts for specific projects requiring the construction and installation of an entire infrastructure system or specified units within an infrastructure system, which are subject to multiple pricing options, including fixed price, unit price, time and materials, or cost plus a markup.

 

The total contract transaction price and cost estimation processes used for recognizing revenue over time under the cost-to-cost method is based on the professional knowledge and experience of our project managers, engineers and financial professionals. Management reviews estimates of total contract transaction price and total project costs on an ongoing basis. Changes in job performance, job conditions and management’s assessment of expected variable consideration are factors that influence estimates of the total contract transaction price, total costs to complete those contracts and our profit recognition. Changes in these factors could result in revisions to revenue in the period in which the revisions are determined, which could materially affect our consolidated results of operations for that period. Provisions for losses on uncompleted contracts are recorded in the period in which such losses are determined.

 

Performance Obligations. A performance obligation is a contractual promise to transfer a distinct good or service to a customer and is the unit of account under Topic 606. The transaction price of a contract is allocated to each distinct performance obligation and recognized as revenue when or as the performance obligation is satisfied. Our contracts often require significant services to integrate complex activities and equipment into a single deliverable and are therefore generally accounted for as a single performance obligation, even when delivering multiple distinct services. Contract amendments and change orders, which are generally not distinct from the existing contract, are typically accounted for as a modification of the existing contract and performance obligation. The vast majority of our performance obligations are completed within one year.

 

When more than one contract is entered into with a customer on or close to the same date, management evaluates whether those contracts should be combined and accounted for as a single contract as well as whether those contracts should be accounted for as one, or more than one, performance obligation. This evaluation requires significant judgment and is based on the facts and circumstances of the various contracts.

23

Union Labor

 

The Company uses union labor in order to construct and maintain the solar, electric and data work that comprise the core activities of its business. As such, contributions were made by the Company to the National Joint Apprenticeship and Training Committee, the National Electrical Benefit Funds, Union Pension Plans and a union Health and Welfare Fund. Each employee contributes monthly to the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (“IBEW”). The Company’s contract with the IBEW expires May 31, 2022.

 

The Company’s management believes that access to unionized labor provides a unique advantage for growth, because workforce resources can be scaled efficiently utilizing labor unions in other states to meet specific project needs in other states without substantially increasing fixed costs for the Company.

 

Business Insurance / Captive Insurance Group

 

In 2018, Peck Electric joined a captive insurance group. The Company’s management believes that belonging to a captive insurance group will stabilize business insurance expenses and will lock in lower rates that are not subject to change from year-to-year and instead are based on the Company’s favorable experience modification rate.

 

Revenue Drivers

 

The Company’s business includes the design and construction of solar arrays for its customers. Revenue is recognized for each construction project on a percentage of completion basis. From time to time, the Company constructs solar arrays for its own account or purchases a solar array that must still be constructed. In these instances, no revenue is recognized for the construction of the solar array. In instances where the Company owns the solar array, revenue is recognized for the sale of the electricity generated to third parties. As a result, depending on whether it is building for others or for its own account, the Company’s revenue is subject to significant variation.

Certain Non-GAAP Measures

 

We periodically review the following key non-GAAP measures to evaluate our business and trends, measure our performance, prepare financial projections and make strategic decisions.

 

EBITDEBITDA and, Adjusted EBITDA

 

Included in this presentation are discussions and reconciliations of earnings before interest, income tax and depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) and EBITDA adjusted for certain non-cash, non-recurring or non-core expenses (“Adjusted EBITDA”) to net income in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA excludes certain non-cash and other expenses, certain legal services costs, professional and consulting fees and expenses, and one-time Merger expenses and certain adjustments. We believe that these non-GAAP measures illustrate the underlying financial and business trends relating to our results of operations and comparability between current and prior periods. We also use these non-GAAP measures to establish and monitor operational goals.

26

These non-GAAP measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative to, GAAP and should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute or superior to, the other measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. Using only the non-GAAP financial measures, particularly Adjusted EBITDA, to analyze our performance would have material limitations because such calculations are based on a subjective determination regarding the nature and classification of events and circumstances that investors may find significant. We compensate for these limitations by presenting both the GAAP and non-GAAP measures of our operating results. Although other companies may report measures entitled “Adjusted EBITDA” or similar in nature, numerous methods may exist for calculating a company’s Adjusted EBITDA or similar measures. As a result, the methods that we use to calculate Adjusted EBITDA may differ from the methods used by other companies to calculate their non-GAAP measures.
