2.  Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“generally accepted accounting principles” or “GAAP”) for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). They do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. The condensed consolidated balance sheet at March 31, 2016 was derived from audited financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2016. In the opinion of management, the interim condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for such periods. Results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of results for any other interim period or for the full year. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2016. This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this “Form 10-Q”) refers to the Company’s fiscal years ending March 31 as its “Fiscal” years.

The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company continues to be negatively impacted by the volatility of the global oil and gas markets, a substantially stronger U.S. dollar (making our products more expensive overseas) and ongoing geopolitical tensions in Russia, North Africa and Middle East. The Company’s net loss from operations for the first quarter of Fiscal 2017 was $4.4 million. Management believes that the Company will continue to make progress on its path to profitability by improving its net loss from operations through lowering its operating costs and the continued development of other geographical and vertical markets. The Company’s cash and cash equivalents as of June 30, 2016 and March 31, 2016 were $19.0 million ($24.0 million when combined with restricted cash related to the line of credit (the “Credit Facility”) with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (“Wells Fargo”)) and $11.7 million ($16.7 million when combined with restricted cash related to the Credit Facility with Wells Fargo), respectively. See Note 11—Revolving Credit Facility for discussion of the Credit Facility. Cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash, less the amount outstanding under the Credit Facility, was $18.0 million and $7.2 million as of June 30, 2016 and March 31, 2016, respectively. During the first quarter of Fiscal 2017, the Company’s working capital requirements were in accordance with management’s plan, primarily because of a reduction in inventory and continued management of the timing of payments of accounts payable. Although the Company didn’t fully achieve its planned number of product shipments during the first quarter of Fiscal 2017, resulting in lower than expected revenue, the Company achieved lower than expected net loss primarily because of reductions in operating expenses and bad debt recovery.

 

Based on management’s projections, free cash of approximately $18.0 million (cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash less amounts outstanding under the Credit Facility), which includes the net proceeds of approximately $13.1 million from the April 22, 2016 underwritten public offering, is sufficient to meet the Company’s anticipated cash needs for working capital and capital expenditures for at least the next twelve months. See Note 9— Underwritten Offering of Common Stock and At-the-Market Offering Program for disclosure with respect to the April 22, 2016 underwritten offering. If revenue is less than management’s projections, management has the ability to manage certain operating expenses, assets and liabilities, specifically the procurement of inventory, timing of payments of accounts payable and capital expenditures depending on the results of the Company’s operations to preserve its cash and cash equivalents. 

If the Company is unable to manage its cash flows in the areas discussed above, the Company may need to raise additional capital in the near term. The Company may seek to raise funds by selling additional securities to the public or to selected investors (through the at-the-market offering or otherwise) after the expiration of the lock-up period that expires in September 2016  to which the Company agreed in connection with the April 22, 2016 underwritten public offering or by obtaining additional debt financing. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain additional funds on commercially favorable terms or at all. If the Company raises additional funds by issuing additional equity or convertible debt securities, the fully diluted ownership percentages of existing stockholders will be reduced. In addition, any equity or debt securities that the Company would issue may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of the holders of its common stock. Should the Company be unable to execute its plans (including raising funds through the at-the-market offering program after the lock-up period and maintaining availability under its Credit Facility) or obtain additional financing that may be needed, the Company may need to significantly reduce its operations. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.

On November 6, 2015, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment to its Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware to effect a 1-for-20 reverse stock split of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share, effective as of 4:30 p.m. Eastern Standard Time on the filing date. For purposes of presentation, all share and per share information and instruments outstanding under stock plans contained in this report on Form 10-Q has been retroactively adjusted to reflect the reverse stock split.

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, Capstone Turbine International, Inc., its wholly owned subsidiary that was formed in June 2004, Capstone Turbine Singapore Pte., Ltd., its wholly owned subsidiary that was formed in February 2011, and Capstone Turbine Financial Services, LLC, its wholly owned subsidiary that was formed in October 2015, after elimination of inter-company transactions.
