Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements

(unaudited)

 

 

 

 

(1)    The accompanying consolidated condensed financial statements are unaudited; however, in the opinion of management, all adjustments, which were solely of a normal recurring nature, necessary to a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods, have been made.  The results for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the fiscal year.  The Notes contained herein should be read in conjunction with the Notes to our Consolidated Financial Statements filed on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2013.

 

 

(2)   New Accounting Pronouncements

 

As of September 30, 2013, there were no new accounting pronouncements expected to significantly impact our consolidated financial statements, results of operations, or cash flows. 

 

 

(3)  We have an investment policy approved by the Board of Directors that governs the quality, acceptability and dollar concentration of our investments.  The investment policy allows for investments in government and federal agency securities, commercial paper, repurchase agreements, bank certificates of deposit and money market funds.  Investments are comprised of marketable securities and consist primarily of commercial paper, asset-backed and mortgage-backed notes and bank certificates of deposits with original maturities beyond three months.  All marketable securities and corporate bonds are held in our name at two major financial institutions that hold custody of the investments.  All of our investments are held-to-maturity investments as we have the positive intent and ability to hold until maturity.  These securities are recorded at amortized cost.

 

The amortized cost and unrealized gain or loss of our investments at September 30, 2013 and March 31, 2013 were:

(4)  At September 30, 2013 and March 31, 2013, the estimated period to complete contracts in process ranged from one to sixteen months and one to twenty-one months, respectively.  We expect to collect all related accounts receivable arising from these contracts within sixty days of billing. The following summarizes contracts in process:

Our inventories are subject to obsolescence and potential impairment due to bulk purchases in excess of customers’ requirements. We periodically assess our inventories for recovery of carrying value based on available information, expectations and estimates, and adjust inventory carrying values to the lower of cost or market for estimated declines in the realizable value. There was no impairment for obsolete inventory during the six month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012.  

 

 

(6)   Facility Held for Sale

 

We had listed our former facility in Frederick, Colorado for sale with a commercial real estate broker as of March 31, 2013. The facility was reclassified as a current asset and we had discontinued depreciating the asset pending the sale of the building.

 

On June 6, 2013, we closed on the sale the building.  The sales price was $1,650,000 and net proceeds were $1,565,032.

 

 

(7)   Government Grant

 

We have a $45.1 million grant (the “Grant”) with the U.S. Department of Energy (“DOE”) under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. The Grant provides funds to facilitate the manufacture and deployment of electric drive vehicles, batteries and electric drive vehicle components in the United States. Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, the DOE will reimburse us for 50 percent of qualifying costs for the purchase of facilities, tooling and manufacturing equipment, and for engineering related to product qualification and testing of our electric propulsion systems. The period of the Grant is through January 12, 2015. We recognize government grant reimbursements when it is probable that the Company will comply with the conditions attached to the grant arrangement and the grant money will be received.

 

Funding for qualifying project costs incurred is currently limited to $32.0 million.  We were required to provide the DOE with an updated budget revision application by July 12, 2013, which we provided prior to the

6


 

 

 

UQM TECHNOLOGIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements, Continued

(unaudited)

 

deadline. It is currently under review by the DOE.  If the DOE does not find the revision application acceptable, it reserves the right to: (1) stop payment on the contract; (2) renegotiate the contract; or (3) declare the grant terminated by mutual agreement after we have been given thirty days advance written notice and an opportunity to cure any deficiencies.

 

The Grant is also subject to our compliance with certain reporting requirements. The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act imposes minimum construction wages and labor standards for projects funded by the Grant.

If we dispose of assets acquired using Grant funding, we may be required to reimburse the DOE upon such sale date if the fair value of the asset on the date of disposition exceeds $5,000. The amount of any such reimbursement shall be equal to 50 percent of the fair value of the asset on the date of disposition.

 

While UQM has exclusive patent ownership rights for any technology developed with Grant funds, we are required to grant the DOE a non-exclusive, non-transferable, paid-up license to use such technology.

 

During the current quarter, we changed our cumulative estimate of reimbursable rates under the Grant which resulted in an increase in our reimbursement of costs recorded for the quarter and six month period of $817,000 and $958,000, respectively.  We expect our DOE reimbursements to return to approximate historical levels for the duration of the program. At September 30, 2013, we had received reimbursements from the DOE under the Grant totaling $21.2 million and had funds receivable under the Grant of $2.4 million.  Subsequent to the end of the quarter, the DOE paid $2.2 million against the funds receivable. 

 

The application of grant funds to the recorded value of eligible capital asset purchases under the Grant as of September 30, 2013 and March 31, 2013 are as follows:

Stock Option Plans 

 

As of September 30, 2013, we had 1,100,000 shares of common stock authorized and 10,031 shares of common stock available for future grant to employees and consultants under our 2012 Equity Incentive Plan (“Plan”).    The term of the 2012 Plan is ten years. Under the 2012 Plan, the exercise price of each option is set at the fair value of the common stock on the date of grant and the maximum term of the option is ten years from the date of grant. Options granted to employees generally vest ratably over a three-year period. The maximum number of options that may be granted to an employee under the Plan in any calendar year is 500,000 options. Forfeitures under the Plan are available for re-issuance at any time prior to expiration of the Plan in 2022. Options granted under the Plan to employees require the option holder to abide by certain Company policies, which restrict their ability to sell the underlying common stock. Prior to the adoption of the 2012 Plan, we issued stock options under our 2002 Equity Incentive Plan. Forfeitures under the 2002 Equity Incentive Plan may not be re-issued.

 

Non-Employee Director Stock Option Plan

 

In February 1994, our Board of Directors ratified a Stock Option Plan for Non-Employee Directors (“Directors Plan”) pursuant to which Directors may elect to receive stock options in lieu of cash compensation for their services as directors. As of September 30, 2013, we had 1,000,000 shares of common stock authorized and 184,798 shares of common stock available for future grant under the Directors Plan. Option terms range from three to ten years from the date of grant. Option exercise prices are equal to the fair value of the common shares on the date of grant. Options granted under the plan generally vest immediately. Forfeitures under the Directors Plan are available for re-issuance at a future date.

 

Stock Purchase Plan

 

We have established a Stock Purchase Plan under which eligible employees may contribute up to 10 percent of their compensation to purchase shares of our common stock at 85 percent of the fair market value at specified dates.  At September 30, 2013, we had 700,000 shares of common stock authorized and 336,041 shares of common stock available for issuance under the Stock Purchase Plan.  During the quarters and six month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, we issued 28,618 and 141, and 34,030 and 26,836 shares of common stock, respectively, under the Stock Purchase Plan.  Cash received by us upon the purchase of shares under the Stock Purchase Plan for the quarters and six month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 was $18,029 and $172, and $21,601 and $32,473, respectively.   

 

 

 

 

Stock Bonus Plan

 

We have a Stock Bonus Plan (“Stock Plan”) administered by the Board of Directors. As of September 30, 2013, we had 1,954,994 shares of common stock authorized and there were 47,149 shares of common stock available for future grant under the Stock Plan.    Under the Stock Plan, shares of common stock may be granted to employees, key consultants, and directors who are not employees as additional compensation for services rendered. Vesting requirements for grants under the Stock Plan, if any, are determined by the Board of Directors at the time of grant. There were 441,195 and 440,934, and 452,195 and 440,934 shares granted to employees under the Stock Plan during the quarters and six month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.  

 

We use the straight-line attribution method to recognize share-based compensation costs over the requisite service period of the award. Options granted by us generally expire ten years from the grant date. Options granted to existing and newly hired employees generally vest over a three-year period from the date of the grant. The exercise price of options is equal to the market price of our common stock (defined as the closing price reported by the NYSE MKT) on the date of grant.

 

We use the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model for estimating the fair value of stock option awards. The expected volatility and the expected life of options granted are based on historical experience, and the risk

Share-based compensation capitalized in inventories was insignificant as of September 30, 2013 and March 31, 2013.

 

We adjust share-based compensation on a quarterly basis for changes to the estimate of expected equity award forfeitures based on actual forfeiture experience.  The effect of adjusting the forfeiture rate for all expense amortization is recognized in the period the forfeiture estimate is changed. The effect of forfeiture adjustments in the quarters and six month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 were insignificant. 

 

All options/shares granted under the Non-Employee Director Stock Option Plan /Director’s Plan are fully vested.

30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, which was 5 percent and 4 percent of our consolidated total revenue, respectively.

 

Trade accounts receivable and inventories associated with this customer totaled zero as of September 30, 2013 and March 31, 2013.

 

Revenue derived from contracts with agencies of the U.S. Government and from subcontracts with U.S. Government prime contractors totaled $178,532 and $326,950, and $434,783 and $620,586 for the quarters and six month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, which was 9 percent and 27 percent, and 11 percent and 17 percent of our consolidated total revenue for the quarters and six month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Accounts receivable from government-funded contracts represented 78 percent and 9 percent of total accounts receivable as of September 30, 2013 and March 31, 2013, respectively. 

 

(12)  Income Taxes

 

The Company currently has a full valuation allowance, as it is management’s judgment that it is more-likely-than-not that net deferred tax assets will not be realized to reduce future taxable income. 

 

We recognize interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in “Other Income,” net.  As of September 30, 2013 and 2012, we had no provisions for interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions. 

 

The tax years 2008 through 2012 remain open to examination by both the Internal Revenue Service of the United States and by the various state taxing authorities where we file. 

 

(13) Loss Per Common Share

 

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing income or loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the periods presented.  Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing income or loss available to common stockholders by all outstanding and potentially dilutive shares during the periods presented, unless the effect is antidilutive.  At September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, common shares issued under the Stock Bonus Plan but not yet earned totaling 640,979 and 358,855 were being held by the Company.  For the quarters and six month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 respectively, 99,492 and 32,681, and 38,354 and 47,430 shares, were potentially includable in the calculation of diluted loss per share under the treasury stock method but were not included, because to do so would be antidilutive.  At September 30, 2013 and 2012, options to purchase 3,721,309 and 4,590,325 shares of common stock, respectively, were outstanding.  For the quarters and six month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, options for 2,222,706 and 3,181,758 and 2,312,548 and 3,156,758 shares were not included in the computation of diluted loss per share because the option exercise price was greater than the average market price of the common stock.  In-the-money options determined under the treasury stock method to acquire 490,432 and 163,541, and 289,701 and 224,330 shares of common stock for the quarters and six month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, were potentially includable in the calculation of diluted loss per share but were not, because to do so would be antidilutive.

 

(14) Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments.

 

Cash and cash equivalents:

The carrying amounts approximate fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments. 

 

Investments:

The carrying value of these instruments is the amortized cost of the investments which approximates fair value.  See Note 3.

Deferred compensation under executive employment agreements represents the future compensation potentially payable under the retirement and voluntary termination provisions of executive employment agreements.  The value of the Level 3 liability in the foregoing table was determined using a discounted cash flow model. The significant unobservable input used in the calculation is a discount rate of 14 percent, which is based on the expected cost of capital for the Company.  A 1 percent change in this discount rate would result in approximately a $1,000 change in the recorded value of the liability.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

This Report contains statements that constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act. These statements appear in a number of places in this Report and include statements regarding our plans, beliefs or current expectations; including those plans, beliefs and expectations of our management with respect to, among other things, new product developments, future orders to be received from our customers, sales of products from inventory, future financial results, liquidity and the continued growth of the electric-powered vehicle industry. Important Risk Factors that could cause actual results to differ from those contained in the forward-looking statements are listed below in Part II, Item 1A. Risk Factors and in our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2013.

 

Introduction

 

UQM Technologies, Inc., (“UQM” or the “Company”) is a developer and manufacturer of power dense, high efficiency electric motors, generators and power electronic controllers for the automotive, commercial truck, bus, marine and military markets. We generate revenue from two principal activities: 1) the sale of motors, generators and electronic controls; and 2) research, development and application engineering services that are paid for by our customers.  Our product sales consist of annually recurring higher volume production sales, prototype low volume sales, which are generally sold to a broad range of customers, and revenues derived from the sale of refurbished and serviced products. The sources of engineering revenue typically vary from year to year and individual projects may vary substantially in their periods of performance and aggregate dollar value.  Historically, quarterly product sales have fluctuated depending on our customers’ buying cycles, and we expect this fluctuation to continue in the future.

 

We expect demand for our electric propulsion system and generator products to increase as vehicle makers continue to focus on the development and introduction of electric and hybrid electric vehicles as part of a global effort to provide a broader selection of highly fuel efficient vehicles to consumers.  This demand is due, in part, to an expansion in the number of all-electric and hybrid electric vehicle platforms being developed for potential introduction in the passenger bus, commercial truck and van and passenger automobile markets, the amount of government grants and loans available to encourage the development and introduction of clean vehicles, tax incentives to purchasers of these vehicles, and progressively more challenging Consumer Average Fuel Economy Standards (“CAFE") and carbon dioxide emission regulations.  Domestically, the federal government offers a tax credit of up to $7,500 on the purchase of passenger electric vehicles, and various states offer additional rebates and incentives. Based on the success of California’s Hybrid and Zero Emission Truck and Bus Voucher program, a point-of-sale purchase incentive program, other states including New York, New Jersey, Oregon, Illinois and Michigan are considering implementing similar subsidy plans. There are additional subsidies worldwide to encourage growth of the electric passenger car, bus and truck markets 

   

We have entered into multi-year agreements to supply electric propulsion systems to Proterra, a developer and manufacturer of all-electric composite transit buses, Boulder EV, a developer and manufacturer of all-electric delivery trucks and work utility trucks, and Electric Vehicles International (“EVI”), a developer and manufacturer of all-electric medium-duty delivery trucks.  EVI has supplied UPS 100 all-electric delivery vans powered by our electric propulsion systems as a test program for their fleet of vans.  We are also supplying an automotive qualified DC-to-DC converter to Eaton Corporation, which is used on board medium and heavy-duty hybrid trucks sold by Freightliner, International and Paccar.  Also, during the quarter ended June 30, 2013, we announced a sales contract with Zenith Motors, LLC, to provide PowerPhase Pro® 135 systems as the drivetrain in their all-electric shuttle vans.  Shipments began in that quarter and will continue during the remainder of fiscal year 2014.

 

We supply our electric propulsion systems and generators to several international automakers as part of their hybrid-electric, plug-in hybrid electric, all-electric and fuel cell all-electric vehicle development programs.  In particular, our electric propulsion systems are powering a large fleet of all-electric Audi A1 e-tron development vehicles, and recent press reviews of the test program have been very favorable.  Also, we have renewed our discussions with National Electric Vehicle Sweden AB (“NEVS”), formerly SAAB, to supply them with our electric propulsion systems.

 

17


 

 

 

 

We are in discussions with several potential Chinese partners for both all-electric and hybrid-electric vehicles.  We have signed a Memorandum of Understanding with one major Chinese company for the development and marketing of UQM®  electric propulsion systems for New Energy Vehicles in China. This agreement expands the global reach of UQM, and represents the initial step in our strategy to penetrate the Chinese market with our leading electric propulsion products.  Under the agreement, UQM and its China-based partner will work collaboratively to introduce UQM products into the Chinese market for use in New Energy Vehicles. The China State Council published its New Energy Vehicles plan in July, 2012, setting a goal of 500,000 energy-efficient and clean vehicles on the road in China by 2015, and five million vehicles by 2020.  In September, 2013, China’s National Development and Reform Commission and three other ministries jointly announced a new round of New Energy Vehicle supportive policies for 2013 - 2015. Various levels of government subsidies for electric vehicles were announced, including subsidies for pure electric buses of RMB 500,000 each (approximately $80,000),  electric trucks of RMB 150,000 each (approximately $24,000) and plug-in electric and fuel cell passenger vehicles of RMB 60,000 each (approximately $9,600).

 

The marine market is forecasted to be a growing segment of electrified vehicles, and we continue to see increased activity and interest within the marine segment.  ReGen Nautic has three UQM based outboard motors, the E100, E180 and E300, along with several combinations of full electric and hybrid inboard combinations utilizing both the PowerPhase Pro® and PowerPhase HD® propulsion systems, and we continue to ship them product as their demand dictates.  They have prominently displayed our product at several International Boat shows including Dusseldorf, Monaco and Miami, and in a variety of boats including the all-electric Mylne Bolt 18 yacht tender, the Bruce Runabout all-electric motorboat, the Goldfish 23 e-Fusion, Alibi Catamarans, Rhea Marine, Bering Yachts and Grand Banks.

 

On May 1, 2013, our former customer CODA Automotive (“CODA”) filed for reorganization under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code.  We have filed all appropriate claims against the CODA bankruptcy estate; however, we expect to ultimately recover only a small percentage of the amount claimed, if any.  As of September 30, 2013, we believe we have recorded all impairments and liabilities that have or could arise as a result of the CODA bankruptcy. 

 

We have a $45.1 million grant (the “Grant”) with the DOE under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. The Grant provides funds to facilitate the manufacture and deployment of electric drive vehicles, batteries and electric drive vehicle components in the United States. Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, the DOE will reimburse us for 50 percent of qualifying costs for the purchase of facilities, tooling and manufacturing equipment, and for engineering related to product qualification and testing of our electric propulsion systems. The period of the Grant is through January 12, 2015.

 

At September 30, 2013, we had received reimbursements from the DOE under the Grant totaling $21.2 million and had funds receivable under the Grant of $2.4 million.  Subsequent to the end of the quarter, the DOE paid $2.2 million against the funds receivable.

 

We had listed our former facility in Frederick, Colorado for sale with a commercial broker.  As a result, the carrying value of the facility was classified as a current asset and listed under the caption facility held for sale at March 31, 2013.  On June 6, 2013, we closed on the sale the building.  The sales price was $1,650,000 and net proceeds were $1,565,032.

 

Financial Condition

 

Cash and cash equivalents at September 30, 2013 were $5,071,049 and working capital was $15,496,534, compared with $4,527,899 and $16,011,344, respectively, at March 31, 2013.  The increase in cash and cash equivalents is primarily attributable to the sale of our former facility partially offset by operating losses.  The decrease in working capital is primarily attributable to operating losses and investments in property and equipment.

 

Accounts receivable increased $871,086 to $3,083,481 at September 30, 2013 from $2,212,395 at March 31, 2013.  The increase is primarily due to increased levels of billings outstanding under our DOE Grant.  Many of our customers are large well-established companies of high credit quality.  Our sales are conducted through acceptance of customer purchase orders or in some cases through supply agreements.  For credit qualified customers, our standard terms are net 30 days.  For international customers and customers without an adequate credit rating or history, our typical terms are irrevocable letter of credit or cash payment in advance of delivery.  At September 30, 2013 and March 31, 2013,

18


 

 

 

 

we had an allowance for bad debts of zero and $3,838,092, respectively. The allowance for bad debts as of March 31, 2013 relates to amounts owed to us by CODA.  

 

Costs and estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts increased $51,875 to $230,139 at September 30, 2013 versus $178,264 at March 31, 2013.  The increase is due to timing of billings on certain contracts in process at September 30, 2013 versus March 31, 2013.  Estimated earnings on contracts in process increased to $575,264 on revenue recognized of $1,788,328 at September 30, 2013, compared to estimated earnings on contracts in process of $515,299 on revenue recognized of $1,353,545 at March 31, 2013.  The increase in estimated earnings is attributable to higher levels of funded engineering contracts in process, partially offset by lower expected margin on certain contracts in process at September 30, 2013.

 

Inventories decreased $470,941 to $10,527,520 at September 30, 2013,  reflecting increased shipments of PowerPhase Pro® and PowerPhase HD® propulsion systems.       

   

Prepaid expenses and other current assets increased to $332,291 at September 30, 2013 from $309,957 at March 31, 2013 primarily due to prepayments on commercial insurance policies.     

 

We invested $177,877 and $420,355 for the acquisition of property and equipment, before reimbursements under the DOE Grant, during the quarter and six month period ended ended September 30, 2013 compared to $107,431 and $311,580 during the comparable quarter and six month period last fiscal year.  The increase in capital expenditures is primarily attributable investments in production equipment for our PowerPhase HD®  propulsion system during the first half of this fiscal year.  Cash reimbursements for capital assets under the DOE Grant for the quarter and six month period ended September 30, 2013 were $149,769 and $174,708, respectively.    Cash reimbursements for capital assets under the DOE Grant for the quarter and six month period ended September 30, 2012 were $98,991 and $143,136, respectively.

 

Patent costs decreased to $204,646 at September 30, 2013 versus $206,287 at March 31, 2013 primarily due to the systematic amortization of patent issuance costs.  Similarly, trademark costs decreased to $108,284 at September 30, 2013 versus $110,528 at March 31, 2013 primarily due to the systematic amortization of trademark costs.

 

Accounts payable increased $87,409 to $704,606 at September 30, 2013 from $617,197 at March 31, 2013, primarily due to the timing of vendor payments.

 

Other current liabilities decreased to $2,519,340 at September 30, 2013 from $2,599,435 at March 31, 2013. The decrease is primarily attributable to reduced levels of accrued personal property taxes, real estate taxes, accrued vendor settlements and accrued audit fees, partially offset by increased levels of accrued warranty costs and higher levels of customer deposits at September 30, 2013.

 

Short-term deferred compensation under executive employment agreements was $524,000 at both September 30, 2013 and March 31, 2013 reflecting a retirement payment obligation that will be paid in December 2013.  Long-term deferred compensation under executive employment agreements was $142,229 at September 30, 2013 versus $103,412 at March 31, 2013 reflecting periodic accruals of future severance obligations under executive employment agreements.

 

Common stock and additional paid-in capital were $368,644 and $116,031,005, respectively, at September 30, 2013 compared to $366,641 and $115,573,331 at March 31, 2013. The increases in common stock and additional paid-in capital were primarily attributable to the issuance of shares under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan and the Stock Bonus Plan, and the periodic expensing of non-cash share-based payments associated with option grants under our Equity Incentive Plan and Stock Bonus Plan.

 

Results of Operations

 

Quarter Ended September 30, 2013

 

19


 

 

 

 

Product sales revenue for the current quarter increased 118 percent to $1,838,676 versus $845,470 for the comparable quarter last fiscal year. The increase is primarily due to increased shipments of PowerPhase HD®,  PowerPhase Pro®, PowerPhase Select®  and other propulsion systems to a variety of customers.

 

Revenue from contract services decreased to $203,282 at September 30, 2013 versus $350,634 for the comparable quarter last year. This was driven by a change in mix of contracts in process during the current quarter and by a change in our cumulative estimate of reimbursable rates under a cost-reimbursement type contract which resulted in a decrease in contract services revenue of $95,000

   

Gross profit margins for the quarter ended September 30, 2013 increased to 41.6 percent compared to 38.8 percent for the quarter ended September 30, 2012.  Gross profit margin on product sales for the second quarter this year increased to 47.0 percent compared to 38.6 percent for the second quarter last year primarily due to lower overhead costs arising from higher volumes.  Gross profit margin on contract services decreased to negative 7.4 percent for the second quarter this fiscal year compared to 39.1 percent for the quarter ended September 30, 2012, resulting from a change in mix of contracts in process in the current quarter and the change in our cumulative estimate of reimbursable rates noted above.  

 

Research and development expenditures for the quarter ended September 30, 2013 increased to $59,637 compared to $19,810 for the quarter ended September 30, 2012 reflecting increased levels of activity on cost-sharing government research programs.

 

Production engineering costs were $939,887 for the second quarter versus $1,505,103 for the comparable quarter last fiscal year. The decrease is attributable to higher than normal product qualification and testing activities during the comparable quarter last year associated with product qualification and testing activities for our PowerPhase HD propulsion system. 

 

Reimbursement of product qualification and testing costs under the DOE Grant was $1,352,201 for the quarter ended September 30, 2013 versus $965,564 for the comparable quarter last fiscal yearDuring the quarter ended September 30, 2013, we changed our cumulative estimate of reimbursable rates under the Grant which resulted in an increase in our quarterly reimbursement recorded of $817,000. This increase was partially offset by decreased levels of reimbursable production engineering activities versus the comparable quarter last fiscal year.  We expect our DOE reimbursements to return to approximate historical levels for the duration of the program.

 

Selling, general and administrative expense for the quarter ended September 30, 2013 was $1,615,075 compared to $2,472,653 for the same quarter last year, a decrease of 35 percent. The decrease is primarily attributable to cost reduction efforts versus the comparable quarter last fiscal year.

 

Interest income decreased to $941 for the quarter ended September 30, 2012 versus $2,260 for the same quarter last fiscal year. The decrease is attributable to lower yields on invested cash balances.

 

As a result, net loss for the quarter ended September 30, 2013 was $412,269, or $0.01 per common share, compared to a net loss of $2,563,548, or $0.07 per common share, for the comparable quarter last year.

 

Six Months Ended September 30, 2013

 

Product sales for the six month period ended September 30, 2013 increased 23 percent to $3,525,936 compared to $2,876,519 for the comparable period last year. The increase is primarily due to increased shipments of PowerPhase HD® and PowerPhase Pro®  propulsion systems, partially offset by decreased levels of PowerPhase Select®  propulsion systems.

 

Revenue from contract services decreased to $464,533 for the six month period ended September 30, 2013 versus $716,013 for the comparable period last year. This was driven by a change in mix of contracts in process during the current six month period and by a change in our cumulative estimate of reimbursable rates under a cost-reimbursement type contract which resulted in a decrease in contract services revenue of $79,400.

 

Gross profit margins for the six month period ended September 30, 2013 decreased to 37.9 percent compared to 38.8 percent for the comparable six month period last fiscal year. Gross profit margin on product sales for the six month period ended September 30, 2013 increased to 41.0 percent compared to 37.4 percent for the comparable period last

20


 

 

 

 

year. The increase is primarily due to changes in product mix and lower overhead costs arising from higher volumes. Gross profit margin on contract services decreased for the six month period to 14.1 percent versus 44.6 percent for the comparable six month period last fiscal year resulting from a change in mix of contracts in process in the current period and the change in our cumulative estimate of reimbursable rates noted above.    

 

Research and development expenditures for the six month period ended September 30, 2013 increased to $114,545 compared to $32,457 for the same period last year reflecting increased levels of activity on cost-sharing government research programs.

 

Production engineering costs were $2,032,956 for the six month period ended September 30, 2013 versus $2,655,322 for the comparable six month period last year. The decrease is attributable to higher than normal product qualification and testing activities during the prior comparable six month period associated with product qualification and testing activities for our PowerPhase HD propulsion system.

 

Reimbursements of costs under the DOE Grant were $2,125,659 for the six months ended September 30, 2013 versus $1,730,200 for the comparable period last year.    During the six month period ended September 30, 2013, we changed our cumulative estimate of reimbursable rates under the Grant which resulted in an increase in our first half reimbursement recorded of $958,000. This increase was partially offset by decreased levels of reimbursable production engineering activities versus the comparable period last fiscal year.  We expect our DOE reimbursements to return to approximate historical levels for the duration of the program.

 

Selling, general and administrative expense for the six month period ended September 30, 2013 was $2,859,476 compared to $4,295,500 for the same period last year, a decrease of 33 percent.  The decrease is primarily attributable to cost reduction efforts versus the comparable period last fiscal year.

 

Interest income decreased to $1,070 for the six month period ended September 30, 2013 versus $5,006 for the comparable period last year. The decrease is attributable to lower yields and lower levels of invested cash balances.

 

As a result, net loss for the six month period ended September 30, 2013 was $1,328,623, or $0.04 per common share, compared to a net loss of $3,850,982, or $0.11 per common share, for the comparable period last year.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Our cash balances and liquidity throughout the quarter ended September 30, 2013 were adequate to meet operating needs.  At September 30, 2013, we had working capital of $15,496,534 compared to $16,011,344 at March 31, 2013. 

 

For the six month period ended September 30, 2013, net cash used in operating activities was $779,447 compared to net cash used in operating activities of $4,902,266 for the comparable period last fiscal year.  The decrease in cash used for the first half of this fiscal year is primarily attributable to decreased net losses, significantly driven by lower operating costs as a result of a reduction in force and other strategic cost reductions, decreased levels of inventory purchases, partially offset by increased levels of accounts receivable.  

 

Net cash provided by investing activities for the first half of this fiscal year was $1,300,996 compared to cash provided by investing activities of $52,730 for the comparable six month period last fiscal year.  The change for the first half of this fiscal year was primarily due to cash proceeds from the sale of our former Frederick, Colorado facility, partially offset by decreased levels of net short-term investment maturities versus the prior comparable quarter.

 

Net cash provided by financing activities for the first half this fiscal year was $21,601 compared to net cash used in financing activities of $7,957 for the comparable period last fiscal year.  The increase in cash provided was primarily attributable to a reduction in purchases of treasury stock during the first half of this fiscal year.    

 

We expect to fund our operations over the next year from existing cash balances, the reduction of inventories and continuing operations. Although we expect to manage our operations and working capital requirements to minimize the future level of operating losses and working capital usage, our working capital requirements may increase in the future. If customer demand accelerates substantially, our working capital requirements may also increase substantially and we may need to raise additional capital.  In addition, our $45.1 million DOE Grant requires us to provide matching funds of 50 percent on all qualifying expenditures under the Grant. As of September 30, 2013, the DOE had 

21


 

 

 

 

approved credit to UQM for matching funds of up to a total of $32 million, of which $23.6 million had been expended under the Grant.

 

As the markets for electrified vehicles continue to emerge and expand into additional vehicle platforms over the next several years, we expect to experience potentially rapid growth in our revenue coincident with the introduction of electric products for our customers. We believe we have sufficient cash resources to fund our expected rate of future growth; however, if our future growth occurs at a rate higher than our expectations, our existing cash and short-term investments may not be adequate to fund our operations and we may need to raise additional capital.

 

If our existing financial resources are not sufficient to execute our business plan, including meeting future funding requirements under the DOE Grant or increased working capital needs, we may issue equity or debt securities in the future, although we cannot assure that we will be able to secure additional capital should it be required to implement our current business plan. In the event financing or equity capital to fund future growth is not available on terms acceptable to us, or at all, we will modify our strategy to align our operations with then available financial resources. Based on our current level of operations, we believe we have sufficient cash to fund our operations for at least the next two years.

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make judgments, assumptions and estimates that affect the dollar values reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes.  Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements contained in our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2013 describes the significant accounting policies and methods used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements.  Estimates are used for, but not limited to, allowance for doubtful accounts receivables, accrued warranty costs, accrued vendor settlement obligations, accrued import duties, deferred compensation under executive employment agreements, costs to complete contracts, the recoverability of inventories, the fair value of financial and long-lived assets and in the establishment of provisional billing rates on certain government contracts.  Actual results could differ materially from these estimates.  The following critical accounting policies are impacted significantly by judgments, assumptions and estimates used in preparation of the consolidated financial statements.

 

Accounts Receivable

Our trade accounts receivable are subject to credit risks associated with the financial condition of our customers and their liquidity. We evaluate all customers periodically to assess their financial condition and liquidity and set appropriate credit limits based on this analysis.  As a result, the collectability of accounts receivable may change due to changing general economic conditions and factors associated with each customer’s particular business.  Because substantially all of our current customers are large well-established companies with excellent credit worthiness, we

22


 

 

 

 

have not historically established a reserve for potentially uncollectible trade accounts receivable. However, during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2013, we established an allowance for bad debts of $3,838,092,  principally due to the bankruptcy filing of CODA.  At September 30, 2013, the allowance for bad debts has been written off.  In light of current economic conditions, we may need to maintain an allowance for bad debts in the future.  It is also reasonably possible that future events or changes in circumstances could cause the realizable value of our trade accounts receivable to decline materially, resulting in material losses. 

 

Inventories

We maintain raw material inventories of electronic components, motor parts and other materials to meet our expected manufacturing needs for proprietary products and for products manufactured to the design specifications of our customers. Some of these components may become obsolete or impaired due to bulk purchases in excess of customer requirements. Accordingly, we periodically assess our raw material inventory for potential impairment of value based on then available information, expectations and estimates and establish impairment reserves for estimated declines in the realizable value of our inventories. On May 1, 2013, the date CODA filed for bankruptcy protection, we had approximately $8.2 million of inventory originally purchased or manufactured for CODA, substantially all of which remained on hand at September 30, 2013. The inventory is now available for sale to other customers.  The actual realizable value of this inventory and our inventories generally may differ materially from these estimates based on future occurrences. It is reasonably possible that future events or changes in circumstances could cause the realizable value of our inventories to decline materially, resulting in additional material impairment losses.     

 

Long-term Contracts: Costs and Estimated Earnings in Excess of Billings on Uncompleted Contracts

We recognize revenue on development projects funded by our customers using the percentage-of-completion method. Under this method, contract services revenue is based on the percentage that costs incurred to date bear to management’s best estimate of the total costs to be incurred to complete the project. Many of these contracts involve the application of our technology to customers’ products and other applications with demanding specifications. Estimated costs for each project are developed by our engineering staff based upon a progression of technical tasks required to attain the project's objectives.  These estimates typically include the number of hours of work required by each category of personnel, the cost of subcontracts, materials and components, as well as costs for consultants and project related travel. These estimated costs are reviewed throughout the project and revised quarterly, if necessary, to accurately reflect our best estimate of the remaining costs necessary to complete the project. Management’s best estimates have sometimes been adversely impacted by unexpected technical challenges requiring additional analysis and redesign, failure of electronic components to operate in accordance with manufacturers published performance specifications, unexpected prototype failures requiring the purchase of additional parts, changes in actual overhead costs versus estimated overhead costs and a variety of other factors that may cause unforeseen delays and additional costs. It is reasonably likely that estimated project costs to complete the projects in process at September 30, 2013 could change materially in the future, and any modification of management’s current estimate of total project costs to be incurred could result in material changes in the profitability of affected projects or result in material losses on any affected projects.

 

Fair Value Measurements and Asset Impairment

Some of our assets and liabilities may be subject to analysis as to whether the asset or liability should be marked to fair value and some assets may be evaluated for potential impairment in value.  Fair value estimates and judgments may be required by management for those assets that do not have quoted prices in active markets.  Similarly, management evaluates both tangible and intangible assets for potential impairments in value.  In conducting this evaluation, management may rely on a number of factors to value anticipated future cash flows including operating results, business plans and present value techniques. Rates used to value and discount cash flows may include assumptions about interest rates and the cost of capital at a point in time. There are inherent uncertainties related to these factors and management’s judgment in applying them to the analysis of asset impairment.  Changes in any of the foregoing estimates and assumptions or a change in market conditions could result in a material change in the value of an asset or liability resulting in a material adverse change in our operating results.

 

Cost-Sharing and Cost-Plus Type Contracts

Some of our business with the U.S. Government and prime contractors is performed under cost-sharing or cost-plus- fixed-fee type contracts.  These contracts provide for the reimbursement of costs, to the extent allocable and allowable under applicable government regulations.  Typically, billings under these contracts are based on provisional rates, which are estimates of the actual costs expected to be incurred during the relevant period of performance.  The final

23


 

 

 

 

amounts qualified for reimbursement are determined in arrears, typically annually, based on the actual costs incurred during the relevant period of performance.  The final costs eligible for reimbursement under these contracts may differ materially from the provisional rates.  If actual costs incurred are less than the amounts estimated through provisional rates, we will be obligated to return any excess of provisional payments over final qualified costs, which could have a material adverse impact on our operating results and liquidity. 

 

New Accounting Pronouncements

As of September 30, 2013, there were no new accounting pronouncements expected to significantly impact our consolidated financial statements, results of operations, or cash flows.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. 

 

As of September 30, 2013, we performed an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our CEO and CFO, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the U.S. Securities and Exchange Act of 1934).  Based on that evaluation, our management, including the CEO and CFO, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2013.    

 

There were no changes to our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2013 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

 

PART II-OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

 

Litigation

 

We are involved in various claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business.  In the opinion of management, and based on current available information, the ultimate disposition of these matters is not expected to have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flow, although adverse developments in these matters could have a material impact on a future reporting period.

As of September 30, 2013 and March 31, 2013, we had accumulated deficits of $92,503,924 and $91,175,301, respectively.

 

In the future, we plan to make additional investments in product development, facilities and equipment and other costs related to the commercialization of our products. As a result, we may continue to incur net losses at least through March 31, 2014 and potentially beyond.  

 

Our operating losses, anticipated capital expenditures and working capital requirements in the longer term may exceed our current cash balances.

 

Our net loss for the quarter ended September 30, 2013 was $412,269 versus a net loss for the comparable quarter last fiscal year of $2,563,548Our net loss for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2013 was $10,688,312 versus a net loss for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 of $4,928,520 and $1,992,358, respectively. At September 30, 2013, our cash balance was  $5,071,049.  We may continue to incur net losses. Our existing cash resources, together with funding expected from our ARRA Grant, should be sufficient to complete our business plan for at least the next two years. Should those resources be insufficient, we may need to secure additional debt or equity funding, which may not be available on terms acceptable to us, if at all.

 

CODA has filed for bankruptcy protection and we may not be able to recover any amounts due to us under our Supply Agreement, including substantial amounts due for accounts receivable, inventory purchases and guaranteed minimum payments.

 

We executed a ten-year Supply Agreement with CODA in July, 2009 which provided a framework for CODA, or its manufacturing partner, to purchase from us electric propulsion systems for use in automobiles to be manufactured by CODA.  On May 1, 2013, CODA filed for bankruptcy protection.  Amounts due from CODA totaled $3.8 million, all of which had been written off at September 30, 2013.  In addition, CODA was obligated under the Supply Agreement for inventory purchases totaling approximately $8.2 million and for a guaranteed minimum payment of $2 million due to their failure to purchase at least 15,000 units.  We filed all appropriate claims with the bankruptcy court; however, we may not receive any settlement on the balance owed to us under the Supply Agreement.

 

We entered into purchase contracts with our supply base to support the CODA program, some of which are non-cancellable by their terms.  Our actual liability under these contracts may vary from our current estimates.

 

We have recorded a liability of $916,809 representing the amount we expect to pay to settle non-cancellable contracts with certain suppliers to the CODA program that will not be fulfilled due to the bankruptcy filing by CODA.  The amount of this liability represents management’s current estimate and may be subject to further adjustment based on future negotiations or litigation.  Settlements in excess of our estimates or any upward revision in our settlement estimate could result in a material change in our results of operations and financial condition.

 

If we do not satisfy the terms of our U.S. Department of Energy grant, we may not receive the entire $45.1 million grant we were awarded and may be required to return amounts already paid to us under the grant.

 

We have a $45.1 million Grant under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act's Electric Drive Vehicle Battery and Component Manufacturing Initiative with the U.S. Department of Energy. We have received funding of $21.2 million and had funds receivable of $2.4 million under this Grant as of September 30, 2013. This Grant is subject to

25


 

 

 

 

terms and conditions specified in the agreement between us and the DOE. We are required to make a cash investment on a dollar-for-dollar matching basis to receive funds under this Grant. If we are unable to match the total amount of the $45.1 million Grant with funding from non-Federal sources, we will be unable to take advantage of the entire award, and could become ineligible for continued participation in the program. The total reimbursement of qualified costs to UQM under the award is currently limited to $32.0 million. We were required to provide the DOE with an updated budget revision application by July 12, 2013, which we provided prior to the deadline.   It is currently under review by the DOE.  If the DOE does not find the revision application acceptable, it reserves the right to: (1) stop payment on the contract; (2) renegotiate the contract; or (3) declare the grant terminated by mutual agreement after we have been given thirty days advance written notice and an opportunity to cure any deficiencies.  Although we expect to satisfy the requirements in the Grant, we cannot assure that all of the requirements will be satisfied and the contract will not be terminated prior to receiving all of the proceeds.
