Liquidity and Financial Condition [Abstract] |
Liquidity and Financial Condition | 2. Liquidity and Financial Condition Through December 31, 2012, the Company has incurred an accumulated deficiency since inception of $7,036,776. At December 31, 2012, the Company had a cash balance of $868,067. At March 25, 2013, the Company had a cash balance of approximately $695,000. Since the Company’s inception, it has generated revenues from SG Block sales, engineering services, and project management. The Company expects that through the next 10 to 16 months, the capital requirements to fund the Company’s growth and to cover the operating costs of a public company will consume substantially all of the cash flows that it expects to generate from its operations, as well as from the proceeds of intended issuances of debt and equity securities. The Company further believes that during this period, while the Company is focusing on the growth and expansion of its business, the gross profit that it expects to generate from operations will not generate sufficient funds to cover anticipated operating costs. Accordingly, the Company requires external funding to sustain operations and to follow through on the execution of its business plan. However, there can be no assurance that the Company’s plans will materialize and/or that the Company will be successful in funding estimated cash shortfalls through additional debt or equity capital and through the cash generated by the Company’s operations. Given these conditions, the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is contingent upon it being able to secure an adequate amount of debt or equity capital to enable it to meet its cash requirements. In addition, the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern must be considered in light of the problems, expenses and complications frequently encountered by entrants into established markets, the competitive environment in which the Company operates and the current capital raising environment. Since inception, the Company’s operations have primarily been funded through proceeds from equity and debt financings and sales activity. Although management believes that the Company has access to capital resources, there are currently no commitments in place for new financing at this time, and there is no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain funds on commercially acceptable terms, if at all. During the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company raised $642,183 in net new funds through the issuance of Common Stock in conjunction with the March Private Placement and also received $74,250 for Common Stock. The proceeds from these issuances were used to fund the Company’s operations and working capital needs. (See Note 14) During the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company also raised $1,000,000 through an issuance of convertible debentures. (See Note 10) The Company intends to raise additional funds during 2013 through a private placement of its Common Stock as well as additional issuances of convertible debentures. The additional capital would be used to fund the Company’s operations, including the costs that it expects to incur as a public company. The current level of cash and operating margins is not enough to cover the existing fixed and variable obligations of the Company, so increased revenue performance and the addition of capital through issuances of securities are critical to the Company’s success. Should the Company not be able to raise additional capital through a private placement or some other financing source, the Company would take one or more of the following actions to conserve cash: reduction in employee headcount, reduction in base salaries to senior executives and employees, and other cost reduction measures. Assuming that the Company is successful in its growth plans and development efforts, the Company believes that it will be able to raise additional funds through sales of its stock. There is no guarantee that the Company will be able to raise such additional funds on acceptable terms, if at all. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The Company’s financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should it be unable to continue as a going concern.
