BUSINESS ORGANIZATION, NATURE OF OPERATIONS, RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

1. BUSINESS ORGANIZATION, NATURE OF OPERATIONS, RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

 

Pioneer Power Solutions, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries (referred to herein as the “Company,” “Pioneer,” “we,” “our” and “us”) design, manufacture, integrate, refurbish, service, distribute and sell electric power systems, distributed energy resources, power generation equipment and mobile electric vehicle (“EV”) charging solutions. Our products and services are sold to a broad range of customers in the utility, industrial and commercial markets. Our customers include, but are not limited to, electric, gas and water utilities, data center developers and owners, EV charging infrastructure developers and owners, and distributed energy developers. The Company is headquartered in Fort Lee, New Jersey and operates from three (3) additional locations in the U.S. for manufacturing, service and maintenance, engineering, sales and administration.

 

We have two reportable segments as defined in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on April 11, 2023: Transmission and Distribution Solutions (“T&D Solutions”) and Critical Power Solutions (“Critical Power”).

 

Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared pursuant to the rules of the SEC and reflect the accounts of the Company as of September 30, 2023. Certain information and footnote disclosures, normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”), have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations. We believe that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information presented not misleading to the reader. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to fairly state the financial position, results of operations and cash flows with respect to the interim consolidated financial statements have been included. The results of operations for the interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results for the entire fiscal year. The year-end balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements but this filing does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP for a year-end balance sheet.

 

All dollar amounts (except share and per share data) presented in the notes to our unaudited interim consolidated financial statements are stated in thousands of dollars, unless otherwise noted. ASC 740-270 requires the use of an estimated annual effective tax rate to compute the tax provision during an interim period unless certain exceptions are met. We have used a discrete-period computation method to calculate taxes for the fiscal three and nine-month period ended September 30, 2023. The Company anticipates that its annual effective tax rate will be 0% for the year ending December 31, 2023. As of September 30, 2023, the Company continues to provide a 100% valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets since the Company believes it is more likely than not that its deferred tax assets will not be realized.

 

These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Pioneer and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the risk factors under the heading “Part II - Item 1A. Risk Factors” and the risk factors and the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto of the Company and its subsidiaries included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.

 

Liquidity

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. As shown in the accompanying financial statements, as of September 30, 2023, the Company had $7,581 of cash on hand and working capital of $13,702. The cash on hand was generated primarily from the sale of common stock under the ATM Program (as defined below), payment of all unpaid principal and interest from the two subordinated promissory notes we received in connection with the sale of the transformer business units in August 2019 for an aggregate principal amount of $7,500 (the “Seller Notes”) during the year ended December 31, 2022, and cash flows from operating activities. On October 20, 2020, we entered into an At the Market Sale Agreement with H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC (“Wainwright”), pursuant to which we may offer and sell our shares of common stock from time to time through Wainwright, acting as sales agent or principal (the “ATM Program”). Since October 20, 2020, and through September 30, 2023, the Company sold an aggregate of 916,059 shares of common stock for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $9,183, before any sales agent fees and expenses payable by us under the ATM Program. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company sold an aggregate of 27,559 shares of common stock for an aggregate consideration of approximately $184, before any sales agent fees and expenses payable by us.

 

 

We have historically met our cash needs through a combination of cash flows from operating activities and bank borrowings, the completion of the Equity Transaction, proceeds from the sale of the CleanSpark common stock and warrants to purchase CleanSpark common stock, sale of common stock under the ATM Program and collecting all unpaid principal and interest from the Seller Notes. Historically, our cash requirements were generally for operating activities, debt repayment, capital improvements and acquisitions. We expect to meet our cash needs with our working capital and cash flows from our operating activities. We expect our cash requirements to be generally for operating activities, product development and capital improvements. The Company expects that its current cash balance is sufficient to fund operations for the next twelve months.

 

On December 13, 2021, we filed a prospectus supplement to a prospectus which forms a part of our registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-249569) (the “Prior Shelf Registration Statement”), that was declared effective by the SEC on October 27, 2020 (the “Prior ATM Prospectus”), in connection with the offer and sale of up to an aggregate offering amount of $8,600 of common stock that may be issued and sold under the ATM Program. Prior to the expiration of the Prior Shelf Registration Statement at the end of its three-year term, we sold an aggregate of 27,559 shares of common stock for an aggregate consideration of approximately $184, before any sales agent fees and expenses payable by us, under the Prior ATM Prospectus. On August 30, 2023, we filed a new registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-274266) to replace the Prior Shelf Registration Statement, including a base prospectus which covers the offering, issuance and sale of up to $150,000 of common stock, preferred stock, warrants and/or units; and a sales agreement prospectus covering the offering, issuance and sale of up to a maximum aggregate offering price of $75,000 of common stock that may be issued and sold under the ATM Program (the “New ATM Prospectus”). The new registration statement was declared effective by the SEC on September 8, 2023. As of September 30, 2023, $75,000 of common stock remained available for issuance under the New ATM Prospectus.

 

Risks and Uncertainties

 

The World Health Organization determined that COVID-19 no longer fit the definition of a public health emergency and the U.S. government announced that the declaration of a public health emergency associated with COVID-19 expired on May 11, 2023. However, COVID-19 has remained and is expected to continue to remain as a serious endemic threat for an indefinite future period and may continue to adversely affect the global economy. The continuing impacts of the COVID-19 endemic, as well as rising interest rates, inflation, changes in foreign currency exchange rates and geopolitical developments, such as the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine, and the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas, have resulted, and may continue to result, in a global slowdown of economic activity, which may decrease demand for a broad variety of goods and services, including those provided by the Company’s clients, while also disrupting supply channels, sales channels and advertising and marketing activities for an unknown period of time. As a result of the current uncertainty in economic activity, the Company is unable to predict the potential size and duration of the impact on its revenue and its results of operations, if any. The extent of the potential impact of these macroeconomic factors on the Company’s operational and financial performance will depend on a variety of factors, including the continuing impacts of the COVID-19 endemic and the extent of geopolitical disruption and their respective impacts on the Company’s clients, partners, industry, and employees, all of which are uncertain at this time and cannot be accurately predicted. The Company continues to monitor the effects of these macroeconomic factors and intends to take steps deemed appropriate to limit the impact on its business. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company was able to operate substantially at capacity.
