Summary of Significant Accounting Policies [Abstract] |
Interim financial information | Interim financial information - The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for annual financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal accruals, considered necessary for a fair presentation of the interim financial statements have been included. Results for the three months ended March 31, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2015. The condensed consolidated financial statements and notes should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes for the year ended December 31, 2014 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, as amended, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 31, 2015.
Basis of consolidation | Basis of consolidation - The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, SG Building and SG Brazil. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
Accounting estimates | Accounting estimates - The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant areas which require the Company to make estimates include revenue recognition, stock-based compensation, warrant liabilities, allowance for doubtful accounts and a valuation for deferred tax assets. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Operating cycle | Operating cycle - The length of the Company’s contracts varies, but is typically between six to twelve months. Assets and liabilities relating to long-term contracts are included in current assets and current liabilities in the accompanying balance sheets as they will be liquidated in the normal course of contract completion, which at times could exceed one year.
Revenue recognition | Revenue recognition - The Company accounts for its long-term contracts associated with the design, engineering, manufacture and project management of building projects and related services, using the percentage-of-completion accounting method. Under this method, revenue is recognized based on the extent of progress towards completion of the long-term contract. The Company uses the cost to cost basis because management considers it to be the best available measure of progress on these contracts. Contract costs include all direct material and labor costs and those indirect costs related to contract performance. General and administrative costs, marketing and business development expenses and pre-project expenses are charged to expense as incurred. Provisions for estimated losses on uncompleted contracts are made in the period in which such losses are determined. Changes in job performance, job conditions and estimated profitability, including those arising from contract penalty provisions, and final contract settlements may result in revisions to costs and income and are recognized in the period in which the revisions are determined. An amount equal to contract costs attributable to claims is included in revenue when realization is probable and the amount can be reliably estimated. The asset, “Costs and estimated earnings in excess of billing on uncompleted contracts,” represents revenue recognized in excess of amounts billed. The liability, “Billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts,” represents billing in excess of revenue recognized. The Company offers a one-year warranty on completed contracts. For the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company recognized $1,494 and $1,275, respectively, in warrant claims. The Company does not anticipate that any additional claims are likely to occur for warranties that are currently outstanding. Accordingly, no warranty reserve is considered necessary for any of the periods presented. The Company also supplies repurposed containers to its customers. In these cases, the Company serves as a supplier to its customers for standard and made to order products that it sells at fixed prices. Revenue from these contracts is generally recognized when the products have been delivered to the customer, accepted by the customer and collection is reasonably assured. Revenue is recognized upon completion of the following: an order for product is received from a customer; written approval for the payment schedule is received from the customer and the corresponding required deposit or payments are received; a common carrier signs documentation accepting responsibility for the unit as agent for the customer; and the unit is delivered to the customer’s receiving point. The title and risk of loss passes to the customer at the customer’s receiving point. Amounts billed to customers in a sales transaction for shipping and handling are classified as revenue. Products sold are generally paid for based on schedules provided for in each individual customer contract including upfront deposits and progress payments as products are being manufactured. Funds received in advance of meeting the criteria for revenue recognition are deferred and are recorded as revenue when they are earned.
Inventory | Inventory – Raw construction materials (primarily shipping containers) are valued at the lower of costs (first-in, first-out method) or market. Finished goods and work-in-process inventories are valued at the lower of costs or market, using the specific identification method. As of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, work-in-process inventory amounted to $561,826 and $198,970, respectively.
Fair value measurements | Fair value measurements - Financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities are carried at cost, which the Company believes approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments. The Company measures the fair value of financial assets and liabilities based on the exchange price that would be received for an asset or 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 Company maximized the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The Company uses three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
Level 1 | Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
Level 2 | Quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or inputs that are observable.
Level 3 | Inputs that are unobservable (for example, cash flow modeling inputs based on assumptions).
Financial liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis are summarized below:
|  | March 31, 2015 |  |  | Quoted prices in active market for identical assets (Level l) |  |  | Significant other observable inputs (Level 2) |  |  | Significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) |
Warrant Liabilities |  | $ | 252,789 |  |  | $ | - |  |  | $ | - |  |  | $ | 252,789 |
Conversion Option Liabilities |  | $ | 7,991 |  |  | $ | - |  |  | $ | - |  |  | $ | 7,991 |
|  | December 31, 2014 |  |  | Quoted prices in active market for identical assets (Level l) |  |  | Significant other observable inputs (Level 2) |  |  | Significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) |
Warrant Liabilities |  | $ | 536,671 |  |  | $ | - |  |  | $ | - |  |  | $ | 536,671 |
Conversion Option Liabilities |  | $ | 110,000 |  |  | $ | - |  |  | $ | - |  |  | $ | 110,000 |
Warrant and conversion option liabilities are measured at fair value using the lattice pricing model and are classified within Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy. For fair value measurements categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, who reports to the Chief Executive Officer, determines its valuation policies and procedures. The development and determination of the unobservable inputs for Level 3 fair value measurements and fair value calculations are the responsibility of the Company’s Chief Financial Officer and are approved by the Chief Executive Officer. The following table sets forth a summary of the changes in the fair value of the Company’s Level 3 financial liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis:`
|  | For the three months ended March 31, 2015 |  |  | For the three months ended March 31, 2014 |
Beginning balance |  | $ | 646,671 |  |  | $ | 217,611 |
Aggregate fair value of conversion option liabilities and warrants issued |  |  | - |  |  |  | - |
Change in fair value of conversion option liabilities and warrants |  |  | (385,891 | ) |  |  | 80,215 |
Ending balance |  | $ | 260,780 |  |  | $ | 297,826 |
The significant assumptions and valuation methods that the Company used to determine fair value and the change in fair value of the Company’s derivative financial instruments are discussed in Notes 6 and 8. The Company presented warrant and conversion option liabilities at fair value on its condensed consolidated balance sheets, with the corresponding changes in fair value recorded in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations for the applicable reporting periods. As disclosed in Notes 6 and 8, the Company computed the fair value of the warrant and conversion option liability at the date of issuance and the reporting dates of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 using the lattice pricing method. The calculation of the lattice pricing model involves the use of the fair value of the Company’s common stock, estimated term, volatility, risk-free interest rates and dividend yield (if applicable). The Company developed the assumptions that were used as follows: The fair value of the Company’s common stock was obtained from publicly quoted prices. The term represents the remaining contractual term of the derivative; the volatility rate was developed based on analysis of the Company’s historical stock price volatility and the historical volatility rates of several other similarly situated companies (using a number of observations that was at least equal to or exceeded the number of observations in the life of the derivative financial instrument at issue); the risk free interest rates were obtained from publicly available US Treasury yield curve rates; the dividend yield is zero because the Company has not paid dividends and does not expect to pay dividends in the foreseeable future.
Concentrations of credit risk | Concentrations of credit risk - Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk, consist principally of cash and cash equivalents. The Company places its cash with high credit quality institutions. At times, such amounts may be in excess of the FDIC insurance limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such account and believes that it is not exposed to any significant credit risk on the account. With respect to receivables, concentrations of credit risk are limited to a few customers in the construction industry. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition and, generally, requires no collateral from its customers other than normal lien rights. At March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, 93% and 85%, respectively, of the Company’s accounts receivable were due from four and two customers, respectively. Revenue relating to two customers represented approximately 44% and 40%, respectively, of the Company’s total revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2015. Also, revenue relating to two customers represented approximately 22% and 66%, respectively, of the Company’s total revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2014. One customer is included in both the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014. Costs of revenue relating to one vendor, who is a related party and disclosed in Note 11, represented approximately 57% and 23% of the Company’s total cost of revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014. Costs of revenue relating to one unrelated vendors, represented approximately 67%, of the Company’s total cost of revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2014. The Company believes it has access to alternative suppliers, with limited disruption to the business, should circumstances change with its existing suppliers.
Recent accounting pronouncements | Recent accounting pronouncements - In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09 (“ASU 2014-09”), which creates Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, and supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in Topic 605, Revenue Recognition, including most industry-specific revenue recognition guidance throughout the Industry Topics of the Codification. In addition, ASU 2014-09 supersedes the cost guidance in Subtopic 605-35, Revenue Recognition --Construction-Type and Production-Type Contracts, and creates new Subtopic 340-40, Other Assets and Deferred Costs -- Contracts with Customers. In summary, the core principle of Topic 606 is that an entity recognizes revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Additionally, ASU 2014-09 requires enhanced financial statement disclosures over revenue recognition as part of the new accounting guidance. The amendments in ASU 2014-09 are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within that reporting period, and early application is not permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the provisions of ASU 2014-09 and assessing the impact, if any, it may have on its financial position and results of operations. In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014 -15, Presentation of Financial Statements - Going Concern. The Update provides U.S. GAAP guidance on management's responsibility in evaluating whether there is substantial doubt about a company's ability to continue as a going concern and about related footnote disclosures. For each reporting period, management will be required to evaluate whether there are conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about a company's ability to continue as a going concern within one year from the date the financial statements are issued. This Accounting Standards Update is the final version of Proposed Accounting Standards Update 2013 -300 --Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205): Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity's Going Concern Presumption, which has been deleted. The Company is currently evaluating the effects of ASU 2014 -15 on the financial statements. In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-03, Interest - Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs. The update requires debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the related debt liability instead of being presented as an asset. Debt disclosures will include the face amount of the debt liability and the effective interest rate. The update requires retrospective application and represents a change in accounting principle. The update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption permitted for financial statements that have not been previously issued. The adoption of this statement will impact future presentation and disclosures of the financial statements. Management does not believe that these or any other recently issued, but not yet effective accounting pronouncements, if adopted, would have a material effect on the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.
