Sun Pacific Holding Corp. 10-K

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based on our consolidated financial statements, which we have prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the other sections of this Form 10-K, including “Risk Factors,” and the Financial Statements. The various sections of this discussion contain a number of forward-looking statements, all of which are based on our current expectations and could be affected by the uncertainties and risk factors described throughout this Annual Report on Form 10-K. See “Forward-Looking Statements.” Our actual results may differ materially. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate estimates and judgments, including those described in greater detail below. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. As used in this “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation,” except where the context otherwise requires, the term “we,” “us,” “our,” or “the Company,” refers to the business of Sun Power Holdings Corp. Organizational Overview Utilizing managements history in general contracting, coupled with our subject matter expertise and intellectual property (“IP”) knowledge of solar panels and other leading-edge technologies, Sun Pacific Holding (“the Company”) is focused on building a “Next Generation” green energy company. The Company offers competitively priced “Next Generation” solar panel and lighting products by working closely with design, engineering, integration and installation firms in order to deliver turnkey solar and other energy efficient solutions. We provide solar bus stops, solar trashcans and “street kiosks” that utilize our unique advertising offerings that provide State and local municipalities with costs efficient solutions. Our green energy solutions can be customized to meet most enterprise and/or government mandated regulations and advanced system requirements. Our portfolio of products and services allow our clients to select a solution that enables them to establish a viable standard product offering that focuses on the goals of the client’s entire organization. Currently, the Company has four (4) subsidiary holdings. Sun Pacific Power Corp., which was the initial company that specialized in solar & other renewable energy projects., The Company also formed National Mechanical Group Corp, a New Jersey corporation focused on holding the Company’s patents. The Company also formed Street Smart Outdoor Corp, a Wyoming corporation that acts as a holding company for the Company’s state specific operations in unique advertising through solar bus stops, solar trashcans and “street kiosks.” The Company also formed Elba Power Corp, an Alabama Corp for the development of a Solar Assembly company. Elba Power Corp has entered into a property purchase contract for approximately $3 million, pending financing, and has obtained the approval for an inducement resolution for $50 million dollars from the State of Alabama, along with a 100% tax abatement on sales and use tax in support of the development of a solar assembly plant. Elba Power Corp is currently working with potential funders in support of the capitalization and development of the project. Sun Pacific Power Corp. has entered into an agreement with FoxEss, a global leader in the development of inverter and energy storage solutions as a wholesale distributer for North and South America and Australia. Sun Pacific Power Corp. has also entered into an agreement with a South Asian solar manufacturer to act as an original equipment manufacturer (“OEM”) for Sun Pacific Solar Panels and associated products. Sun Pacific Power Corp has also commenced in April 2023, a sales, marketing, and affiliate program to market and install residential solar panels in various markets within the United States. 9 As of today, our principal source of revenues is derived from Street Smart Outdoor Corp. operations in the outdoor advertising business with contracts in place in New Jersey and Florida. Strategic Vision Our objective is to grow our business as a premier green energy-based provider of both product and services to the public and private sectors. We are working to deploy our strategy in building upon our green energy expertise in conjunction with our intellectual property and subject matter expertise that may allow us to grow a group of business lines in solar and other unique energy related areas. Recent advances in a multitude of different yet converging technologies have significantly improved the ability to integrate energy efficient products and solutions into infrastructure related projects. These technological advances decrease the requirements needed to jointly operate a multitude of differing assets, devices, and tools that create new ways to integrate evolving new technologies. This technological change and convergence in energy efficient devices, integrated communications among devices, and societal needs to more effectively and environmentally friendly we believe presents a significant opportunity for us in providing and supporting simple to complex integrated solutions. Our challenges continue to be reaching critical mass in our solar shelter business, expanding into other green energy related projects, and securing operational capital. While the Company has never been adequately funded from inception, the Company has attempted to use debt, equity, and other opportunistic in-kind compensation to further the Company’s strategic vision. Going Concern The Company has an accumulated deficit of approximately $8.0 million and a working capital deficit of approximately $3.1 million as of December 31, 2022. The Company’s continuation as a going concern is dependent on its ability to generate sufficient cash flows from operations to meet its obligations and/or obtain additional financing from its stockholders and/or other third parties. In order to further implement its business plan and satisfy its working capital requirements, the Company will need to raise additional capital. There is no guarantee that the Company will be able to raise additional equity or debt financing at acceptable terms, if at all. There is no assurance that the Company will ever be profitable. These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates Our significant accounting policies are more fully described in the notes to our consolidated financial statements. Those material accounting estimates that we believe are the most critical to an investor’s understanding of our financial results and condition are discussed immediately below and are particularly important to the portrayal of our financial position and results of operations and require the application of significant judgment by our management to determine the appropriate assumptions to be used in the determination of certain estimates. Use of estimates in the preparation of consolidated financial statements Preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates include the allowance for doubtful accounts and impairment assessments related to long-lived assets. 10 Consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned, and less-than-wholly owned subsidiaries of which the Company holds a controlling interest. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. Amounts attributable to minority interests in the Company’s less-than-wholly owned subsidiary are presented as non-controlling interest on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and statements of operations. Cash and cash equivalents For purposes of the consolidated statements of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents includes demand deposits and short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less when purchased. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) provided insurance coverage of up to $250,000, per depositor, per institution. At December 31, 2022 and 2021, none of the Company’s cash balances were in excess of federally insured limits. Any and all withdrawals are strictly controlled by the lending institution and use of proceeds must be approved prior to release of funds. Accounts Receivable In the normal course of business, we decide to extend credit to certain customers without requiring collateral or other security interests. Management reviews its accounts receivable at each reporting period to provide for an allowance against accounts receivable for an amount that could become uncollectible. This review process may involve the identification of payment problems with specific customers. Periodically we estimate this allowance based on the aging of the accounts receivable, historical collection experience, and other relevant factors, such as changes in the economy and the imposition of regulatory requirements that can have an impact on the industry. These factors continuously change and can have an impact on collections and our estimation process. The Company determined that an allowance for doubtful accounts was not necessary as of December 31, 2022 and 2021. Leases In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02 (Topic 842). Topic 842 amends several aspects of lease accounting, including requiring lessees to recognize leases with a term greater than one year as a right-of-use asset and corresponding liability, measured at the present value of the lease payments. In July 2018, the FASB issued supplemental adoption guidance and clarification to Topic 842 within ASU 2018-10 Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases and ASU 2018-11 Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements. The new guidance aims to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by requiring lessees to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and requiring disclosure of key information about leasing arrangements. A modified retrospective application is required with an option to not restate comparative periods in the period of adoption. The Company, effective January 1, 2019 has adopted the provisions of the new standard. The Company has operating leases for warehouses and offices. Management evaluates each lease independently to determine the purpose, necessity to its future operations in addition to other appropriate facts and circumstances. We adopted Topic 842 using a modified retrospective approach for all existing leases at January 1, 2019. The adoption of Topic 842 impacted our balance sheet by the recognition of the operating lease right-of-use assets and the liability for operating leases. Accordingly, upon adoption, leases that were classified as operating leases under the previous guidance were classified as operating leases under Topic 842. The lease liability is based on the present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted using a market based incremental borrowing rate as the effective date of January 1, 2019 using current estimates as to lease term including estimated renewals for each operating lease. As of January 1, 2019, the Company recorded an adjustment of approximately $1,339,000 to operating lease right-of-use assets (“ROU”) and the related lease liability (Note 7). 11 Contingencies Certain conditions may exist as of the date financial statements are issued, which may result in a loss, but which will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or do not occur. We assess such contingent liabilities, and such assessment inherently involves an exercise of judgment. In assessing loss contingencies related to pending legal proceedings that are pending against us or unasserted claims that may result in such proceedings, we evaluate the perceived merits of any legal proceedings or unasserted claims as well as the perceived merits of the amount of relief sought or expected to be sought therein. If the assessment of a contingency indicates that it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be estimated, then the estimated liability would be accrued in our consolidated financial statements. If the assessment indicates that a potentially material loss contingency is not probable but is reasonably possible, or is probable but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the contingent liability, together with an estimate of the range of possible loss if determinable would be disclosed. Fair value of financial instruments The carrying amounts of the Company’s accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses, and accrued expenses due to related parties approximate fair value due to their short-term nature. The Company’s long-term debt approximates fair value given the instruments bear market rates of interest. Property and equipment Property and equipment are stated at cost. Additions and improvements that significantly add to the productive capacity or extend the life of an asset are capitalized. Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over three to five years for vehicles and five to ten years for equipment. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the lesser of the estimated remaining useful life of the asset or the remaining lease term. Impairment of long-lived assets The Company periodically reviews for the impairment of long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be realizable. An impairment loss would be recognized when estimated future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition is less than its carrying amount. At December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company has not identified any such impairment losses. Income taxes Under ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes , the Company is required to account for its income taxes through the establishment of a deferred tax asset or liability for the recognition of future deductible or taxable amounts and operating loss and tax credit carry forwards. Deferred tax expense or benefit is recognized as a result of timing differences between the recognition of assets and liabilities for book and tax purposes during the year. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and operating losses, and tax credit carry forwards. A valuation allowance is established to reduce that deferred tax asset if it is “more likely than not” that the related tax benefits will not be realized. Revenue Recognition The Company recognizes revenue when or as it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring a promised good or service to a customer in accordance with Topic 606. Revenue from the sale of advertising space on displays from the Company’s Outdoor Advertising Shelter Revenues is generally recognized ratably over the term of the contract as the advertisement is displayed. The Company recognizes revenue in amounts that reflect the consideration it expects to receive in exchange for transferring goods or services to customers, excluding sales taxes and other similar taxes collected on behalf of governmental authorities (the “transaction price”). When this consideration includes a variable amount, the Company estimates the amount of consideration it expects to receive and only recognizes revenue to the extent that it is probable it will not be reversed in a future reporting period. Because the transfer of promised goods and services to the customer is generally within a year of scheduled payment from the customer, the Company is not typically required to consider the effects of the time value of money when determining the transaction price. Advertising revenue is reported net of agency commissions. In order to appropriately identify the unit of accounting for revenue recognition, the Company determines which promised goods and services in a contract with a customer are distinct and are therefore separate performance obligations. If a promised good or service does not meet the criteria to be considered distinct, it is combined with other promised goods or services until a distinct bundle of goods or services exists. For revenue arrangements that contain multiple distinct goods or services, the Company allocates the transaction price to these performance obligations in proportion to their relative standalone selling prices. The Company has concluded that the contractual prices for the promised goods and services in its standard contracts generally approximate management’s best estimate of standalone selling price as the rates reflect various factors such as the size and characteristics of the target audience, market location and size, and recent market selling prices. However, where the Company provides customers with free or discounted services as part of contract negotiations, management uses judgment to determine how much of the transaction price to allocate to these performance obligations. The Company receives payments from customers based on billing schedules that are established in its contracts, and deferred revenue is recorded when payment is received from a customer before the Company has satisfied the performance obligation or a non-cancelable contract has been billed in advance in accordance with the Company’s normal billing terms. All of the Company’s revenue for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, is recognized based on the Company’s satisfaction of distinct performance obligations identified in each agreement, generally at a point in time as defined by Topic 606, as amended. In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. This standard replaced most existing revenue recognition guidance and is codified in FASB ASC Topic 606. Effective January 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASU No. 2014-09 using the modified retrospective method. Under the new guidance, the Company recognizes revenue from contracts based on the Company’s satisfaction of distinct performance obligations identified in each agreement. The adoption of the guidance under ASU No. 2014-09 did not result in a material impact on the Company’s consolidated revenues, results of operations, or financial position. As part of the implementation of ASC 606 the Company must present disaggregation of revenues from contracts with customers into categories that depict how the nature, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors. Quantitative disclosures on the disaggregation of revenue are as follows: 2022 2021 Outdoor Advertising Shelter Revenues $ 265,573 $ 377,593 12 Earnings Per Share Under ASC 260, Earnings Per Share (“EPS”), the Company provides for the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share. Basic EPS includes no dilution and is computed by dividing income or loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution of securities that could share in the earnings or losses of the entity. For the year ended December 31, 2022, basic and diluted loss per share are the same as the calculation of diluted per share amounts would result in an anti-dilutive calculation. The following summarizes the calculation of diluted income per share for the year ended December 31, 2021: Net Income Weighted Average Shares Outstanding Basic $ 2,968,950 974,192,392 Convertible Debt 41,814 142,645,305 Diluted $ 3,010,764 1,116,837,697 Diluted Net Income Per Share $ 0.00 Results of Operations for the Year Ended December 31, 2022 as Compared to the Year Ended December 31, 2021 Revenues During the year ended December 31, 2022, revenues decreased $112,020, from $377,593 for the year ended December 31, 2021 to $265,573 in 2022, as a result of more advertising revenues and less general contracting services as the Company migrates away from general contracting services and towards the development of Green Energy Projects including the sale of Solar powered shelters and other energy related projects that derive income from advertising sources. The Company has entered into revenue sharing agreements with the City of Tallahassee and the State of New Jersey, along with others. Depending upon the timing of installation and advertising revenue generated per shelter and or other advertising-based product, the Company’s Revenue may increase materially from this green energy offering. Cost of Revenues During the year ended December 31, 2022, cost of revenues decreased by $10,401, from $27,044 for the year ended December 31, 2021 to $16,643 in 2022, as a result of less general contracting services revenues. Costs of revenues may shift dramatically depending upon how the Company’s comparative revenue profile of the products and services shift in the future. Operating Expenses During the year ended December 31, 2022, operating expenses increased by $95,248, from $441,311 for the year ended December 31, 2021 to $536,559 in need to disclose the reason for the increase - professional fees increased $33,083 and general and administrative increased $63,284. 13 Other Income (Expenses) During the year ended December 31, 2022, other income (expenses) decreased by $42,865 from total other expense of $33,846 for the year ended December 31, 2021 to $9,019 total other income for the year ended December 31, 2022. Net Loss from Continuing Operations As a result of the above, the Company incurred Net (Loss) Income from Continuing Operations of $(278,610) and $696,113 for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Liquidity and Capital Resources Net Working Capital We have, since inception, financed operations and capital expenditures through the sale of stock and convertible notes and debt. Our immediate sources of liquidity include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and unbilled receivables. At December 31, 2022, we had a net working capital deficit of approximately $3,120,589 compared to $2,883,433 at December 31, 2021. We intend to seek additional financing for our working capital, in the form of equity or debt, to provide us with the necessary capital to accomplish our plan of operation. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in our efforts to raise additional capital. During the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, we received $0 and $35,905, respectively, from the Payroll Protection Program. Generally, the Company has insufficient capital to maintain operations. Cashflows from operations of the Company and all its subsidiary holdings will not sustain the Company’s operations, let alone its filing requirements, unless there is substantial influx of cash flow through either debt and/or equity financing. Cash Flows from Operating Activities Cash provided by operating activities provides an indication of our ability to generate sufficient cash flow from our recurring business activities. Fixed costs such as labor, direct materials, and office rent represent a significant portion of the Company’s continuing operating costs. For the year ended December 31, 2022, net cash used in operations was $17,925 driven primarily by net loss offset by decreases in accounts receivable and increases in accrued compensation to officers. For the year ended December 31, 2021, net cash used in operations was approximately $522,748 driven primarily by current year operating loss, and $272,304 of cash deconsolidated. Cash Flows from Investing Activities For the year ended December 31, 2022, cash provided by investing activities was approximately $96,000, from the sale of property. There were no investing activities for the year ended December 31, 2021. Cash Flows from Financing Activities Cash provided by financing activities provides an indication of our debt financing and proceeds from capital raise transactions. There were no financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2022. 14 For the year ended December 31, 2021, cash provided by financing activities was approximately $535,905, from the issuance of convertible debt of $500,000 and $35,905 of proceeds from the payroll protection program. In the short term, we must raise additional capital through debt or equity financing to support our business operations and grow our business. Over the long term, we must successfully execute our growth plans to increase profitable revenue and income streams to generate positive cash flows to sustain adequate liquidity without impairing growth initiatives or requiring the infusion of additional funds from external sources to meet minimum operating requirements. We may need to raise additional capital to fund our operations and there can be no assurance that additional capital will be available on acceptable terms or at all. Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements We have no off-balance sheet financing arrangements. Contractual Obligations Not required of smaller reporting companies. Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data Our consolidated financial statements and notes thereto and the report of our independent registered public accounting firm, are set forth on pages F-1 through F-15 of this report.
