Three Months Ended June 2015 and 2014

 

(Unaudited and Preliminary)

 

Power generation revenue was $288 thousand in 2015 compared to $283 thousand in 2014.

 

Direct operating costs declined $23 thousand in 2015 compared to 2014. Repairs and maintenance decreased by $15 thousand reflecting 2014 costs incurred to clear trees and perform additional preventative maintenance. Insurance and lease expense each decreased by $5 thousand as 2014 reflecting a cumulative adjustment from prior periods. Property taxes increased by $5 thousand as 2015 included cumulative adjustments from prior periods. Other direct costs netted to a decrease of $3 thousand.

 

The increase in general and administrative expenses of approximately $850 thousand was comprised of:

 

Increases

 

 

an increase in equity compensation (non-cash) expense of $154 thousand resulting from option grants to members of the Board of Directors, and $21 thousand resulting from options granted to executives and Board members in the intervening periods

 

an increase in consulting costs of $99 thousand resulting from two additional individuals supporting our fundraising efforts

 

an increase of $46 thousand stemming from the engagement of an investor relations firm in connection with a public offering

 

an increase of $700 thousand for accounting, legal, offering expenses and filing fees resulting from a public offering that was ultimately withdrawn

 

Decreases

 

 

a decrease of $29 thousand in public relations expenses as we renegotiated the contract to better reflect our level of activity and a shift to investor relations

 

a decrease of $21 thousand in the Delaware franchise tax as 2014 included a cumulative full year adjustment for 2013 whereas the expense is now recorded and paid quarterly

 

a reclassification of $100 thousand in advisory and engineering expenses to construction in progress.

 

other changes netting to a decrease of $20 thousand

 

Interest expense increased by $662 thousand including an increase of $676 thousand ($44 thousand in cash and $632 thousand non-cash reflecting the amortization of the debt discount attributed to the warrants) resulting from the March 2, 2015, issuance of debentures to Alpha Capital Anstalt; offset by a $12 thousand decrease resulting from the cessation at December 31, 2014, of the interest accrual for legacy liabilities; and other insignificant changes.

 

Due to movements in the price of the Company's stock, the withdrawal of a public offering, and changes in the Company's future prospects, our independent valuation firm estimated a decline at June 30, 2015, in the value of the warrants issued in connection with the March 2, 2015, issuance of debentures to Alpha Capital Anstalt. As a result, the derivative liability was reduced and the Company recorded a gain of $1.1 million in the three months ended June 30, 2015.

  

 

 
 

 

  

Six Months Ended June 2015 and 2014

 

Power generation revenue was $472 thousand in 2015 compared to $501 thousand in 2014, a decrease of $29 thousand. The decrease is due to protracted snows in the northeastern U.S. during the last winter (the location of our SunGen Mill 77 facility) and extended periods of rain in the Midwest in the spring (the location of our Powerhouse One facility).

 

Direct operating costs declined $23 thousand in 2015 compared to 2014. Repairs and maintenance decreased by $15 thousand reflecting 2014 costs incurred to clear trees and perform additional preventative maintenance. Insurance and lease expense each decreased by $5 thousand as 2014 reflecting a cumulative adjustment from prior periods. Property taxes increased by $5 thousand as 2015 included cumulative adjustments from prior periods. Other direct costs netted to a decrease of $3 thousand.

 

The increase in general and administrative expenses of approximately $1.3 million was comprised of:

 

Increases

 

 

an increase in equity compensation (non-cash) expense of $535 thousand including $341 thousand resulting from option grants to members of the Board of Directors, $110 thousand resulting from option grants to advisors, $37 thousand resulting from options granted to a business partner; and $47 thousand resulting from option granted in prior periods

 

an increase in consulting costs of $128 thousand resulting from two additional individuals supporting our fundraising efforts

 

an increase of $32 thousand in legal fees stemming from financings including the March 2, 2015, including $30 thousand stemming from the issuance of debentures with Alpha Capital Anstalt, $10 thousand stemming from the May 6, 2015, issuance of Series A Preferred stock, offset by decreases in other legal fees

 

an increase of $93 thousand stemming from the engagement of an investor relations firm in connection with a public offering

 

an increase of $741 thousand for accounting, legal, offering expenses and filing fees resulting from a public offering that was ultimately withdrawn

 

Decreases

 

 

a decrease of $67 thousand in public relations expenses as we renegotiated the contract to better reflect our level of activity and a shift to investor relations

 

a decrease of $25 thousand in the Delaware franchise tax as 2014 included a cumulative full year adjustment for 2013 whereas the expense is now recorded and paid quarterly

 

a reclassification $100 thousand of advisory and engineering expenses to construction in progress.

 

other changes netting to a decrease of $20 thousand

 

Interest expense increased by $885 thousand including an increase of $866 thousand ($33 thousand in cash and $833 thousand non-cash reflecting the amortization of the debt discount attributed to the warrants) resulting from the March 2, 2015, issuance of debentures to Alpha Capital Anstalt; an increase of $44 thousand incurred for the convertible notes (related parties and others); offset by a $25 thousand decrease resulting from the cessation at December 31, 2014, of the interest accrual for legacy liabilities; and other insignificant changes.

 

Due to movements in the price of the Company's stock, the withdrawal of a public offering, and changes in the Company's future prospects, our independent valuation firm estimated a decline at June 30, 2015, in the value of the warrants issued in connection with the March 2, 2015, issuance of debentures to Alpha Capital Anstalt. As a result, the derivative liability was reduced and the Company recorded a gain of $1.1 million in the six months ended June 30, 2015.
