1. | Description of Business
SG Blocks, Inc. (collectively with its subsidiaries, the “Company,” “we”, “us” or “our”) was previously known as CDSI Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation incorporated on December 29, 1993. On November 4, 2011, CDSI Merger Sub, Inc., the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, was merged with and into SG Building Blocks, Inc. (“SG Building,” formerly SG Blocks Inc.) (the “Merger”), with SG Building surviving the Merger and becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. The Merger was a reverse merger that was accounted for as a recapitalization of SG Building, as SG Building was the accounting acquirer. Accordingly, the historical financial statements presented are the financial statements of SG Building. The Company modifies code-engineered cargo shipping containers and purpose-built modules for use for safe and sustainable commercial, industrial and residential building construction using building products developed with the Company’s proprietary technology and design and engineering expertise. Rather than consuming new steel and lumber, the Company’s proprietary technology and design and engineering expertise allows for the redesign, repurpose and conversion of heavy-gauge steel cargo shipping containers into SGBlocks™, which are safe green building blocks for commercial, industrial, and residential building construction. The Company’s technology and expertise is also used to purpose-build modules, or prefabricated steel modular units customized for use in modular construction (“SGPBMs” and, together with SGBlocks™, “Modules”), primarily to augment or complement an SGBlocks™ structure. The Company’s core customer base is comprised of architects, landowners, builders and developers who use our Modules in commercial and residential structures. The Company’s operating model combines product design and outsourcing of the modifications and finish out of Modules using proprietary algorithms developed by the Company to produce and deliver Modules across the country. The Company believes this combination enables us to generate economies of scale while maintaining high customer service levels in the environmentally-friendly construction space. There are three core product offerings that utilize our technology and engineering expertise. The first product offering involves GreenSteel™ modules, which are the structural core and shell of an SGBlocks building. The Company procures the containers, engineer required openings with structural steel enforcements, paint the SGBlocks and then deliver them on-site, where the customer or a customer’s general contractor will complete the entire finish out and installation. The second product offering involves replicating the process to create the GreenSteel product and, in addition, installing selected materials, finishes and systems (including, but not limited to floors, windows, doors, interior painting, electrical wiring and fixtures, plumbing outlets and bathrooms, roofing system) and delivering SGBlocks pre-fabricated containers to the site for a third party licensed general contractor to complete the final finish out and installation. Finally, the third product offering is the completely fabricated and finished SGBlocks building (including but not limited to floors, windows, doors, interior painting, electrical wiring and fixtures, plumbing outlets and bathrooms, roofing systems), including erecting the final unit on site and completing any other final steps. The building is ready for occupancy and/or use as soon as installation is completed. Construction administration and/or project management services are typically included in our product offerings. The Company also provides engineering and project management services related to the use and modification of Modules in construction. The Company is now focusing on entering into licensing agreements across the Company’s construction opportunity verticals and will be able to focus its sales and marketing efforts on qualified lead generation for its licensees. During 2020, the Company formed, SG Echo, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. SG Echo, LLC was formed to complete the business acquisition as disclosed in Note 9, and to become the manufacturer of the Company's core container and modular product offerings. Reverse Stock Split On February 5, 2020, the Company effected a 1-for-20 reverse stock split of its then-outstanding common stock, which has since been converted. All share and per share amounts set forth in the condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been retroactively restated to reflect the 1-for-20 reverse stock split as if it had occurred as of the earliest period presented and unless otherwise stated, all other share and per share amounts for all periods presented in these condensed consolidated financial statements have been adjusted to reflect the reverse stock split effected in February 2020. As of September 30, 2020, the Company had 8,596,189 shares of common stock issued and outstanding.
