3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Going Concern

Cash Equivalents  The Company considers only those investments that are highly liquid and readily convertible to cash with original maturities of three months or less at date of purchase as cash equivalents.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments  The carrying value of certain financial instruments, including cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, revolving credit facility and notes payable approximate fair market value based on their short-term nature. See Note 11—Fair Value Measurements, for disclosure regarding the fair value of other financial instruments.

Accounts Receivable  Trade accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and are typically non-interest bearing. The Company maintains allowances for estimated losses resulting from the inability of customers to make required payments and other accounts receivable allowances. We evaluate all accounts aged over 60 days past payment terms. If the financial condition of our customers deteriorates or if other conditions arise that result in an impairment of their ability or intention to make payments, additional allowances may be required. Accounts receivable that is expected to be received past 12 months are recorded as non-current accounts receivable. Changes in the accounts receivable allowances are as follows (in thousands):

Inventories  The Company values inventories at the lower of cost (determined on a first in first out (“FIFO”) basis) or net realizable value. The composition of inventory is routinely evaluated to identify slow-moving, excess, obsolete or otherwise impaired inventories. Inventories identified as impaired are evaluated to determine if write-downs are required. Included in the assessment is a review for obsolescence as a result of engineering changes in the Company’s products. All inventories expected to be used in more than one year are classified as long-term.

Depreciation and Amortization  Depreciation and amortization are provided for using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets, ranging from two to ten years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the lease term or the estimated useful lives of the assets, whichever is shorter. Intangible assets that have finite useful lives are amortized over their estimated useful lives using the straight-line method.

Long-Lived Assets  The Company reviews the recoverability of long-lived assets, including intangible assets with finite lives, whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of such assets may not be recoverable. If the expected future cash flows from the use of such assets (undiscounted and without interest charges) are less than the carrying value, the Company may be required to record a write-down, which is determined based on the difference between the carrying value of the assets and their estimated fair value. The Company performed an analysis as of March 31, 2022 and determined that no impairment was necessary. See Note 6—Intangible Assets.

Deferred Revenue  Deferred revenue consists of deferred product and service revenue and customer deposits. Deferred revenue will be recognized when earned in accordance with the Company’s revenue recognition policy. The Company has the right to retain all or part of customer deposits under certain conditions.

Revenue The Company derives its revenues primarily from the sale of microturbine products, accessories, parts and services.

The Company determines revenue recognition through the following steps:

Identification of the contract, or contracts, with a customer
Identification of the performance obligations in the contract
Determination of the transaction price
Allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract
Recognition of revenue when, or as, the Company satisfies a performance obligation

Microturbine Products The Company recognizes revenue when the performance obligation identified under the terms of the contract with its customer is satisfied, which generally occurs, for microturbine products, upon the transfer of control in accordance with the contractual terms and conditions of the sale. The majority of the Company’s revenue associated with microturbine product is recognized at a point in time when the microturbine product is shipped to the customer. On occasion, the Company enters into bill-and-hold arrangements. Each bill-and-hold arrangement is reviewed, and revenue is recognized only when certain criteria have been met: (i) the reason for the bill-and-hold arrangement is substantive (ii) the product is segregated from the Company’s other inventory items held for sale; (iii) the product is ready for shipment to the customer; and (iv) the Company does not have the ability to use the product or direct it to another customer.

Accessories The Company recognizes revenue when performance obligations identified under the terms of contracts with its customers are satisfied, which generally occurs, for accessories, upon the transfer of control in accordance with the contractual terms and conditions of the sale.

Parts and Services Revenue from extended warranties and post-shipment performance obligations is recognized when or as those obligations are satisfied. The Company primarily offers assurance-type standard warranties that do not represent separate performance obligations and will separately offer and price extended warranties that are separate performance obligations for which the associated revenue is recognized over-time based on the extended warranty period. The Company records amounts billed to customers for reimbursement of shipping and handling costs within revenue. Shipping and handling costs associated with outbound freight after control over a system has transferred to a customer are accounted for as fulfillment costs and are included in cost of goods sold. Sales taxes and other usage-based taxes are excluded from revenue. The Company extends payment terms past one year only on a limited basis, and thus any financing component is not considered material.

Factory Protection Plan In addition to the provision of standard warranties, the Company offers comprehensive Factory Protection Plans to minimize product downtime and guarantee maintenance costs to ensure the microturbine system will operate when needed and perform as intended at the lowest cost of ownership. Revenue related to the Company’s performance obligation to provide replacement parts as needed is recognized over the 30-day, noncancellable FPP contract period with automatic renewals for 5, 10, 15, or 20 years under ASC 606. The related costs are accrued at the time a customer submits an order for a replacement part to reflect the Company’s obligation. The accrual reflects the Company’s best estimate of the probable liability under the replacement part obligation. The provision is periodically adjusted to reflect actual experience. FPP contracts typically go into effect once the standard warranty expires.

Some FPPs offer a labor reimbursement on the labor performed on a microturbine system. Due to the nature of the arrangement, labor reimbursements are accounted for under ASC 460. See below for additional information on the labor reimbursement within the FPP offering.

Comprehensive factory protection plan service contracts require payment at the beginning of the contract period. Advance payments are not considered a significant financing component as they are typically received less than one year before the related performance obligations are satisfied. These payments are treated as a contract liability and are classified in deferred revenue in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Once control transfers to the customer and the Company meets the revenue recognition criteria, the deferred revenue is recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. The deferred revenue relating to the annual maintenance service contracts is recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Operations on a straight-line basis over the expected term of the contract.

Significant Judgments - Contracts with Multiple Performance Obligations

The Company enters into contracts with its customers that often include promises to transfer multiple products, parts, accessories, FPP and services. A performance obligation is a promise in a contract with a customer to transfer products or services that are distinct. Determining whether products and services are distinct performance obligations that should be accounted for separately or combined as one unit of accounting may require significant judgment.

Products, parts and accessories are distinct as such services are often sold separately. In determining whether FPP and other service contracts are distinct, the Company considers the following factors for each FPP and service agreement: availability of the services from other vendors, the nature of the services, the timing of when the service contract was signed in comparison to the product delivery date and the contractual dependence of the product on the customer’s satisfaction with the professional services work. To date, the Company has concluded that all of the FPP and service contracts included in contracts with multiple performance obligations are distinct.

The Company allocates the transaction price to each performance obligation on a relative standalone selling price (“SSP”) basis. The SSP is the price at which the Company would sell a promised product or service separately to a customer. Judgment is required to determine the SSP for each distinct performance obligation.

The Company determines SSP by considering its overall pricing objectives and market conditions. Significant pricing practices taken into consideration include the Company’s discounting practices, the size and volume of the Company’s transactions, the customer demographic, the geographic area where systems and services are sold, price lists, its go-to-market strategy, historical sales and contract prices. The determination of SSP is made through consultation with and approval by the Company’s management, taking into consideration the go-to-market strategy. As the Company’s go-to-market strategies evolve, the Company may modify its pricing practices in the future, which could result in changes to SSP.

In certain cases, the Company is able to establish SSP based on observable prices of products or services sold separately in comparable circumstances to similar customers. The Company uses a single amount to estimate SSP when it has observable prices.

If SSP is not directly observable, for example when pricing is highly variable, the Company uses a range of SSP. The Company determines the SSP range using information that may include market conditions or other observable inputs. The Company typically has more than one SSP for individual products and services due to the stratification of those products and services by customer size and geography.

Practical Expedients

We apply a practical expedient to expense costs as incurred for costs to obtain a contract when the amortization period would have been one year or less. These costs are recorded within sales and marketing expenses.

Warranty  The Company provides for the estimated costs of warranties at the time revenue is recognized. The specific terms and conditions of those warranties vary depending upon the product sold and geography of sale. The Company’s product warranties generally start from the delivery date and continue for up to twenty-four months. Factors that affect the Company’s warranty obligation include product failure rates, anticipated hours of product operations and costs of repair or replacement in correcting product failures. These factors are estimates that may change based on new information that becomes available each period. Similarly, the Company also accrues the estimated costs to address reliability repairs on products no longer in warranty when, in the Company’s judgment, and in accordance with a specific plan developed by the Company, it is prudent to provide such repairs. The Company assesses the adequacy of recorded warranty liabilities quarterly and adjusts the liability as necessary. When the Company has sufficient evidence that product changes are altering the historical failure occurrence rates, the impact of such changes is then taken into account in estimating future warranty liabilities.

Factory Protection Plan Service Cost Reimbursement

Each FPP is a 30-day contract period with automatic renewals for 5, 10, 15, or 20 years. As previously noted, some FPPs offer a labor reimbursement on the labor performed on a product. An Authorized Service Provider (ASP) must perform the labor. ASPs submit claims for labor reimbursements and are credited for the cost of labor if the repairs meet the Company’s prescribed standards. The current carrying amount of the liability is $9.2 million. The Company is unable to develop a reasonable estimate of the maximum potential payout under these arrangements because the FPPs do not contain a limit on the number of labor reimbursements that may be submitted. However, given historical practice, the Company has priced the FPP to cover all costs incurred related to the labor reimbursement and is not exposed to significant losses over the FPP premium.

The labor reimbursement is separate and distinct from the parts offering; therefore, the Company allocates a portion of the transaction price to the labor reimbursement based on SSP. The Company applies judgment in determining the SSP as the labor reimbursement is not sold separately. The Company will recognize a liability at the inception of the executed FPP agreement for the premium received in advance for the Labor offering. Income will be recognized on a net, straight-line basis with labor reimbursement costs recognized when incurred.  

Research and Development (“R&D”)  The Company accounts for grant distributions and development funding as offsets to R&D expenses, and both are recorded as the related costs are incurred in the Company’s Condensed Statements of Operations. There were no offsets to R&D during Fiscal 2022 and 2021.

Income Taxes  Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed for differences between the consolidated financial statement and income tax basis of assets and liabilities. Such deferred income tax asset and liability computations are based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to periods in which the differences are expected to reverse. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred income tax assets to the amounts expected to be realized.

ASC Topic 740-10, Income Taxes, clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in our financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or GAAP. Income tax positions must meet a more-likely-than-not recognition threshold to be recognized. Income tax positions that previously failed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold are recognized in the first subsequent financial reporting period in which that threshold is met. Previously recognized tax positions that no longer meet the more-likely-than-not threshold are derecognized in the first subsequent financial reporting period in which that threshold is no longer met. Our policy is to recognize interest and penalties accrued on any unrecognized tax benefits as interest and other expense, net in the statements of operations.

Contingencies  The Company records an estimated loss from a loss contingency when information available prior to issuance of its financial statements indicates that it is probable that an asset has been impaired or a liability has been incurred at the date of the financial statements and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated.

Risk Concentrations  Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable. At March 31, 2022, the majority of our cash balances were held at financial institutions located in California. The accounts at these institutions are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to certain limits. Balances that exceed the insurance coverage aggregate to approximately $22.0 million as of March 31, 2022. The Company places its cash and cash equivalents with high credit quality institutions. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and maintains an allowance for potential credit losses.

Sales to E-Finity accounted for 18% of the Company’s revenue for Fiscal 2022. Sales to CAL and E-Finity accounted for 19% and 12%, respectively, of the Company’s revenue for Fiscal 2021. Additionally, E-Finity and Radian accounted for 28% and 14%, respectively, of net accounts receivable as of March 31, 2022. CAL, Supernova and DTC Soluciones accounted for 15%, 11% and 11%, respectively, of net accounts receivable as of March 31, 2021.

Certain components of the Company’s products are available from a limited number of suppliers. An interruption in supply could cause a delay in manufacturing, which would affect operating results adversely.

Estimates and Assumptions  The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Significant estimates include accounting for accounts receivable allowances, stock-based compensation, inventory write-downs, valuation of long-lived assets including intangible assets with finite lives, product warranties, income taxes and other contingencies. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Net Loss Per Common Share  Basic loss per common share is computed using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted loss per share is also computed without consideration to potentially dilutive instruments because the Company incurred losses which would make such instruments antidilutive. Outstanding stock options and restricted stock units at March 31, 2022 and 2021 were 0.6 million and 0.5 million, respectively. As of March 31, 2022 and 2021, the number of warrants excluded from diluted net loss per common share computations was approximately 0.8 million and 1.1 million, respectively.

Stock-Based Compensation  Options or stock awards are recorded at their estimated fair value at the measurement date. The Company recognizes compensation cost for options and stock awards that have a graded vesting schedule on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for the entire award.

Leases Arrangements meeting the definition of a lease are classified as operating or financing leases and are recorded on the consolidated balance sheet as both a right of use asset and lease liability, calculated by discounting fixed lease payments over the lease term at the rate implicit in the lease or the Company’s incremental borrowing rate. Lease liabilities are increased by interest and reduced by payments each period, and the right of use asset is amortized over the lease term. For operating leases, interest on the lease liability and the amortization of the right of use asset result in straight-line rent expense over the lease term.

In calculating the right of use asset and lease liability, the Company elects to combine lease and non-lease components. The Company excludes short-term leases having initial terms of twelve months or less from the new guidance as an accounting policy election and recognizes rent expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Going Concern  In connection with preparing the consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2022, management evaluated whether there were conditions and events, considered in the aggregate, that raised substantial doubt about our ability to meet our obligations as they became due for the next twelve months from the date of issuance of our Fiscal 2022 consolidated financial statements. As of March 31, 2022, we had cash and cash equivalents of $22.6 million, and outstanding debt of $51.0 million at fair value. We incurred a net loss of $22.4 million and used cash from operating activities of $27.5 million during the Fiscal 2022.

There has been a history of recurring operating losses, negative cash flows from operating activities, continued negative impact by the volatility of the global oil and gas markets, a strong U.S. dollar in certain markets making our products more expensive in such markets, the COVID-19 pandemic, the Russian invasion of Ukraine, and ongoing global geopolitical tensions. Our working capital requirements during Fiscal 2022 were primarily for increases in inventory to continue to produce product despite supply chain challenges, as well as the delayed timing of accounts receivable collections due to the COVID-19 pandemic and impacts from the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine. Our net loss increased during Fiscal 2022 primarily due to lower overhead and operating expenses in Fiscal 2021 from our COVID-19 Business Continuity Plan. In addition, as a result of the Company’s restated earnings, we were in breach of the Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA Financial Covenant to the Note Purchase Agreement dated as of December 9, 2019, and later amended for the quarter ended June 30, 2021. The breach required a change in classification of the term note payable to a current liability on our consolidated balance sheet resulting in a liquidity issue for the Company (see Note 12–Term Note Payable in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion of the outstanding debt). After evaluation of these conditions and events, management assessed that there was substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

Management evaluated these conditions in relation to our ability to meet our obligations as they become due. Our ability to continue current operations and to execute on management’s plan is dependent on our ability to generate cash flows from operations. Management believes that we will continue to make progress on our path to profitability through a cost reduction plan implemented in March 2022, expanding the Energy as a Service (“EaaS”) revenue streams, as well as price increases on our Factory Protection Plan and certain product offerings.

In March 2022, we successfully implemented an expense reduction plan and announced our efforts to reduce operating costs and modify our operating model to better match our expanding EaaS business. We undertook a holistic review of our operations, taking the growing EaaS business into account. Beginning on February 28, 2022, we furloughed 17 employees for a period of 120 days, eliminated the position of Chief Revenue Officer, held by Jim Crouse, effective April 15, 2022, instituted 15% temporary pay cuts for approximately 36 employees and 25% temporary pay cuts for members of our senior leadership team, among other actions. We believe that the implementation of the expense reduction plan aligns our current cost structure to support our higher margin EaaS revenues.

In February 2022, we announced that we reached our goal of having 21.1 MW of rental units in our fleet and under contract. The EaaS rental unit timeline includes a delay between the time of manufacture and the time revenue from that unit is realized. The microturbine rental unit is built, allocated by a signed rental contract, and then commissioned at the customer site, at which point it begins to generate revenue. We expect to have all rental units contracted, commissioned, and generating revenue by our second quarter of Fiscal 2023. We expect rental revenue to more than double in Fiscal 2023 from the $2.8 million of rental revenue in Fiscal 2022. Additionally in March 2022, we announced that we increased the Distributor Support System, or DSS, program fee to 5% of prior calendar year revenue, from 3%, to support the expanding EaaS business.

To help offset inflation and the rising cost of components, as well as improve our profitability, we implemented price increases on our Factory Protection Plan contracts effective April 1, 2022, and implemented price increases on certain of our product offerings including the C65 and C1000 products, effective May 1, 2022.

We reduced our outstanding debt via proceedings in U.S. Chapter 11 Bankruptcy Court. On September 28, 2023, the Company filed for a prepackaged financial restructuring with its Senior Lender, Goldman Sachs under the U.S. Chapter 11 Bankruptcy laws, as further discussed below. The Company emerged from Bankruptcy on December 7, 2023, and affected the financial and organizational restructuring.

Voluntary Filing under Chapter 11

As previously reported in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on September 28, 2023, the Company and its wholly owned direct subsidiaries, Capstone Turbine International, Inc. and Capstone Turbine

Financial Services, LLC. (together with the Company, the “Debtors”), commenced voluntary proceedings under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code (the “Bankruptcy Code) in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the “Bankruptcy Court”). The Chapter 11 proceedings were jointly administered under the caption In re Capstone Green Energy Corporation, Inc., et al. (the “Chapter 11 Cases”). The Debtors continued to operate their business in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code and orders of the Bankruptcy Court. At hearings before the Bankruptcy Court on September 29, 2023, the Debtors obtained approval from the Bankruptcy Court of certain “first day” motions containing customary relief intended to assure the Debtors’ ability to continue their ordinary course operations during the Chapter 11 Cases.

Concurrent with the petition, the Debtors entered into the Transaction Support Agreement (“TSA”) with the pre-petition senior secured creditor, Broad Street Credit Holdings, LLC. (“Broad Street”), and Goldman Sachs Specialty Lending Group, L.P. (the “Collateral Agent”). The TSA, among other things, provided that Broad Street and the Collateral Agent would support the Debtors' restructuring efforts as set forth in, and subject to the terms and conditions of, the TSA. The TSA contained customary conditions, representations, and warranties of the parties and is subject to a number of conditions, including, among others, the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the parties and compliance with the obligations set forth in the TSA. The TSA also provided for termination by the parties upon the occurrence of certain events.

DIP Note Purchase Agreement

As previously reported in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on October 2, 2023, the Debtors entered into a super-priority senior secured debtor-in-possession note purchase agreement (the “DIP Note Purchase Agreement”) with Broad Street and the Collateral Agent. The Purchaser provided the Debtors with a credit facility (the “DIP Facility”) in an aggregate principal amount of $30.0 million, consisting of (1) $12.0 million new money DIP notes, and (2) a roll-up of secured obligations under the existing pre-petition debt with the Purchaser in the amount of $18.0 million, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the DIP Note Purchase Agreement. On September 28, 2023, the Debtors filed the Motion of Debtors for Interim and Final Orders (I) Authorizing the Debtors to Obtain Senior Secured Postpetition Financing, (II) Granting Liens and Superpriority Administrative Expense Status, (III) Authorizing the Use of Cash Collateral, (IV) Granting Adequate Protection to Pre-Petition Secured Parties, (V) Scheduling a Final Hearing, and (VI) Granting Related Relief (the “DIP Motion”) seeking the Bankruptcy Court’s approval of the DIP Facility and certain related relief. A copy of the DIP Note Purchase Agreement was attached to the Plan filed as part of the voluntary petition.

On October 2, 2023, the Bankruptcy Court granted the DIP Motion and entered an interim order (the “Interim DIP Order”) approving the DIP Facility on an interim basis and providing the Debtors with the necessary liquidity to continue to operate in Chapter 11. Upon entry of the Interim DIP Order and satisfaction of all applicable conditions precedent, as set forth in the DIP Note Purchase Agreement, the Debtors were authorized to make a single, initial draw of $9.0 million on the DIP Facility (the “Initial Draw”). The remaining $3.0 million of the DIP Facility became available to be drawn by the Debtors on November 13, 2023, after the Bankruptcy Court entered the Final DIP Order (the “Final Order”). The amount was drawn by the Debtors on October 24, 2023, after the entry of the Final Order and compliance with the terms, conditions, and covenants to be set forth in the DIP Documents. Substantially all of the Debtors’ assets were encumbered by first-priority liens of the Purchaser.

The Bankruptcy Court originally set a final hearing date on November 7, 2023, in accordance with the requirements of the TSA. On November 3, 2023, the final hearing was cancelled and rescheduled to November 13, 2023, with the permission of the Bankruptcy Court.

Emergence from Voluntary Chapter 11 Proceedings

The Bankruptcy Court confirmed the Plan on November 14, 2023, and the Debtors satisfied all conditions required for Plan effectiveness and emerged from the Chapter 11 Cases ("Emergence") on December 7, 2023. On or following the Emergence Date and pursuant to the terms of the Plan, the following occurred or became effective:

▪Restructuring: The Company was reorganized pursuant to the Transaction Support Agreement between Capstone, Broad Street, and the Collateral Agent and became a private company that continues to own assets consisting of (i) all of the Company’s right, title, and interest in and to certain trademarks of the Company and (ii) assets owned by the Company relating to distributor support services ((i) and (ii) together, the “Retained Assets”). Capstone Turbine International became a publicly-traded company and was renamed Capstone Green Energy Holdings, Inc. This entity is the successor entity for purposes of Securities and Exchange Commission registration, and the conducting of all Capstone business (other than in respect of the Retained Assets). Pre-petition equity holders received 100% of the common equity in this public entity, subject to dilution for any equity incentive plans implemented as part of the reorganization. All equity of the predecessor entity was cancelled, and the predecessor entity became a reorganized private company. The reorganized private company equity is owned 100% by the pre-petition senior secured lender in exchange for the satisfaction of $35.0 million of its pre-petition claims, and $10.0 million of its DIP claim. A new subsidiary to the public entity was created, issuing 100% of its common equity to the public entity, and 100% of its preferred equity to the reorganized private entity. The preferred equity is convertible at the option of the holder at any time to 37.5% of the common equity deemed outstanding, making the common equity of the new subsidiary subject to dilution to 62.5% ownership.

▪Exit Financing: The DIP Facility converted into an Exit Facility (as defined herein) for an aggregate principal amount of $27.0 million, consisting of (1) $7.0 million new money notes, (2) a roll-up of secured obligations under the pre-petition debt in the amount of $8.0 million, and (3) a roll-up of the DIP new money notes of $12.0 million, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Exit Facility Agreement. The new money notes mature two years from the emergence date, and the roll-up debts mature three years from the emergence date. Interest is calculated using a SOFR rate plus an applicable margin, and a portion is paid-in-kind until the third year following emergence. In the original Plan, the Exit Facility was to be for an aggregate principal amount of $25.0 million, with only $5.0 million in new money notes. The final approved Plan increased the new money notes to $7.0 million upon the confirmation of the Plan by Bankruptcy Court.

Nasdaq Delisting of Common Stock

Effective at the opening of the trading session on October 5, 2023, the Company’s common stock was suspended from trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market. Effective October 23, 2023, the Company’s common stock was delisted from the Nasdaq Capital Market.

Company Response to COVID-19

In March 2020, the Company began to monitor the global effects of COVID-19, the worldwide spread of which led the World Health Organization (“WHO”) to characterize it as a pandemic on March 11, 2020. Thereafter, most U.S. states imposed “stay-at-home” orders on their populations to stem the spread of COVID-19. Of specific interest to the Company, stay-at-home orders were imposed in the state of California on March 20, 2020.

On March 23, 2020 the Company enacted a Business Continuity Plan in response to COVID-19. Beginning March 30, 2020, the Company furloughed 52 employees, leaving behind only staff deemed essential for day-to-day administrative operations for a minimum period of 45 days. The Company’s Senior Leadership Team volunteered to take a 25% temporary salary cut. In addition, 25 other top Company managers volunteered to take a similar 15% reduction in salary. Several employees returned to work June 1, 2020, most with the 15% voluntary salary cuts, with others returning in a staggered manner through the end of September 2020. Additionally, in March 2020, the Board voted to take a temporary 25% reduction in base cash retainer in support of the Company’s Business Continuity Plan. As a result of the continued global

economic slowdown due to COVID-19 and the associated decline in global crude oil prices, the Company eliminated 26 positions on June 1, 2020. During the period of March 30, 2020 to June 1, 2020, the Company had limited production capability of new microturbine products, but had pre-built approximately 5.9 MW of microturbine finished goods during March 2020 for shipment during this period of suspended production. On September 28, 2020, salaries were returned to 100% and remaining furloughed employees returned to work. The Company’s vendor supply chain has also been impacted by the pandemic; however, the Company has been able to maintain sufficient supply flow to continue operations as of the date hereof.

On March 27, 2020, President Trump signed the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (the “CARES Act”), which, among other things, outlines the provisions of the Paycheck Protection Program (the “PPP”). The Company determined that it met the criteria to be eligible to obtain a loan under the PPP because, among other reasons, in light of the COVID-19 outbreak and the uncertainty of economic conditions related thereto, the loan was necessary to support the Company’s ongoing operations. Under the PPP, the Company could obtain a U.S. Small Business Administration loan in an amount equal to the average of the Company’s monthly payroll costs (as defined under the PPP) for calendar 2019 multiplied by 2.5 (approximately 10 weeks of payroll costs). Section 1106 of the CARES Act contains provisions for the forgiveness of all or a portion of a PPP loan, subject to the satisfaction of certain requirements. The amount eligible for forgiveness is, subject to certain limitations, the sum of the Company’s payroll costs, rent and utilities paid by the Company during the eight-week period beginning on the funding date of the PPP loan.

On April 24, 2020, the Company closed on a PPP loan in the amount of $2,610,200, which was transferred by the Company into an account dedicated to allowable uses of the PPP loan proceeds. On May 13, 2020, the Company repaid $660,200 of the loan in accordance with the Fourth Amendment to the Note Purchase Agreement between the Company and Goldman Sachs Specialty Lending Group, L.P. In February 2021, the Company applied for forgiveness in full of the original balance of the PPP loan and the loan was forgiven in full on June 30, 2021. The Company received a refund of $660,200 and recorded these amounts within other income on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Segment Reporting  The Company is considered to be a single reporting segment. The business activities of this reporting segment are the development, manufacture and sale of turbine generator sets and their related parts and service.

Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Standards

Adopted

In December 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740), Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes. The new guidance removes certain exceptions to the general principles of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 740 in order to simplify the complexities of its application. These changes include eliminations to the exceptions for intraperiod tax allocation, recognizing deferred tax liabilities related to outside basis differences, and year-to-date losses in interim periods, among others. The effective date of this guidance for public companies is for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020. The Company adopted ASU 2019-12 on April 1, 2021 and it did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Not yet adopted

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-06, Debt-Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity’s own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity. The amendments in this ASU reduce the number of accounting models for convertible debt instruments and convertible preferred stock in order to simplify the accounting for convertible instruments. In addition, it amends the guidance for the scope exception surrounding derivatives for contracts in an entity’s own equity. In each case, the related guidance surrounding EPS has also been amended. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2023. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2020-06 on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. The amendments in this ASU provide guidance for estimating credit losses on certain types of financial instruments, including trade receivables, by introducing an approach based on expected losses. The expected loss approach will require entities to incorporate considerations of historical information, current information and reasonable forecasts. With certain exceptions, transition to the new guidance will be through a cumulative effect adjustment to opening accumulated deficit as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is adopted. In November 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-10, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326), Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815), and Leases (Topic 842) (“ASU 2019-10”), which defers the adoption of ASU 2016-13 for Smaller Reporting Companies (“SRCs”) as defined by the SEC for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2016-13 on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Management considers the applicability and impact of all Accounting Standards Updates (“ASUs”). The ASUs not listed were assessed and determined by management to be either not applicable or are expected to have minimal impact on our consolidated financial position and/or results of operations.
