Going Concern

2. Going Concern

 

As of June 30, 2023, the Company had $5,902,235 in cash and cash equivalents. The Company has generated only limited revenues and have relied primarily upon capital generated from public and private offerings of its securities. Since the Company’s acquisition of Worksport in fiscal year 2014, it has never generated a profit. As of June 30, 2023, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $40,704,944.

 

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company had net loss of $3,797,455 (2022 - $3,372,319) and $7,320,725 (2022 - $6,189,928). As of June 30, 2023, the Company has working capital of $3,554,410 (December 31, 2022 - $15,870,377) and had an accumulated deficit of $40,704,944 (December 31, 2022 - $33,384,219). The Company has not generated profit from operations since inception and to date has relied on debt and equity financings for continued operations. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the ability to generate cash flows from operations and obtain equity and/or debt financing. The Company intends to continue funding operations through equity and debt financing arrangements, which may be insufficient to fund its capital expenditures, working capital and other cash requirements in the long term. There can be no assurance that the steps management is taking will be successful.

 

The Company has historically operated at a loss, although that may change as sales volumes increase. As of June 30, 2023, the Company had working capital of $3,554,410 (December 31, 2022 – $15,870,377) and an accumulated deficit of $40,704,944 (December 31, 2022 - $33,384,219). As of June 30, 2023, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $5,902,235 (December 31, 2022 - $14,620,757). Despite the Company almost having completed its purchasing of large manufacturing machinery, operational costs are expected to remain elevated and, thus, decrease cash and cash equivalents. Concurrently, the Company intends to continue its start of manufacturing and increasing sales volumes within 2023, which should mitigate the effects of operational costs on cash and cash equivalents; this view is supported by the fact that the manufacturing facility of the Company is near completion and is expected to start generating substantial revenue in the third quarter of 2023, barring unforeseeable delays.

 

The Company has successfully raised cash, and it is positioned to do so again if deemed necessary or strategically advantageous. During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company, through its Reg-A public offering, private placement offering, underwritten public offering, and exercises of warrants, raised an aggregate of approximately $32,500,000. On September 30, 2022, the Company filed a shelf registration statement on Form S-3, which was declared effective by the SEC on October 13, 2022 allowing the Company to issue up to $30,000,000 of common stock and prospectus supplement covering the offering, issuance and sale by us of up to $13,000,000 of common stock  that may be issued and sold under an At The Market Offering Agreement dated September 30, 2022 (“ATM Agreement”), with H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC, as the sales agent (“HCW”). Pursuant to the ATM Agreement, HCW is entitled to a commission equal to 3.0% of the gross sales price of the shares of common stock sold. As of June 30, 2023, the Company has sold and issued 4,434 shares of common stock in consideration for net proceeds of $7,134 under the ATM Agreement.

 

To date, the Company’s principal sources of liquidity consist of net proceeds from public and private securities offerings and cash exercises of outstanding warrants. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company received nominal proceeds from public offerings, private placement offerings, and from the exercise of any outstanding warrants or options. Management is focused on transitioning towards revenue as its principal source of liquidity by growing existing product offerings as well as the Company’s customer base. The Company cannot give assurance that it can increase its cash balances or limit its cash consumption and thus maintain sufficient cash balances for planned operations or future business developments. Future business development and demands may lead to cash utilization at levels greater than recently experienced. The Company may need to raise additional capital in the future. However, the Company cannot provide assurances it will be able to raise additional capital on acceptable terms, or at all. Subject to the foregoing, the Company believes its current cash balances coupled with anticipated cash flow from operating activities will be sufficient to meet its working capital requirements for at least one year from the date of issuance of the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

The Company has evaluated whether there are conditions and events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date the financial statements are issued. Based on its current operating plans and anticipated cash flows, the Company believes it has a sufficient level of funding for anticipated operations, capital expenditures and debt repayments for a period of at least 12 months from the issuance date of this Quarterly Report. Still, these factors, among others, indicate the existence of a material uncertainty that cast substantial   doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. These adjustments could be material.
