−Removed: and perform as intended.
−Removed: These capitalized costs include compensation for employees who develop internal-use software and external costs
−Removed: related to development of internal use software.
−Removed: Capitalization of these costs ceases once the project is substantially complete and
−Removed: the software is ready for its intended purpose.
−Removed: Internally developed software is amortized using the straight-line method over an estimated
−Removed: All other expenditures, including those incurred in order to maintain an intangible asset’s current level of performance,

−Removed: Such acquisitions are accounted using the acquisition method by recognizing the identifiable
−Removed: tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed, and any non-controlling interest in the acquired business, measured
−Removed: at their acquisition date fair values.
−Removed: Where the set

−Removed: Goodwill is not amortized but is tested for impairment
−Removed: annually, or more frequently if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not result in an impairment of goodwill.
−Removed: First, the Company assesses qualitative factors to determine whether or not it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting
−Removed: unit is less than its carrying amount.
−Removed: If the Company concludes that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit
−Removed: is less than its carrying amount, the Company conducts a quantitative goodwill impairment test comparing the fair value of the applicable
−Removed: reporting unit with its carrying value.
−Removed: If the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds the fair value of the reporting unit, the
−Removed: Company recognizes an impairment loss in the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the amount by which the carrying amount

−Removed: Costs incurred to renew or extend the term of a recognized
−Removed: intangible asset, such as the acquired tradename, are capitalized as part of the intangible asset and amortized over its revised estimated
−Removed: assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of the intangible assets
−Removed: may not be recoverable.
−Removed: Conditions that would necessitate an impairment assessment include a significant decline in the observable market
−Removed: value of an asset, a significant change in the extent or manner in which an asset is used, or any other significant adverse change that
−Removed: would indicate that the carrying amount of an asset or group of assets may not be recoverable.
−Removed: The Company evaluates the recoverability
−Removed: of intangible assets by comparing their carrying amounts to future net undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the intangible
−Removed: If such intangible assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment recognized is measured as the amount by which the carrying
−Removed: amount of the intangible assets exceeds the fair value of the assets.
−Removed: The Company determines fair value based on discounted cash flows
−Removed: using a discount rate commensurate with the risk inherent in the Company’s current business model for the specific intangible asset

−Removed: evaluates the contracts it entered into to determine whether such contracts contain leases at inception.
−Removed: A contract contains a lease
−Removed: if the contract conveys the right to control the use of identified property, plant or equipment for a period of time in exchange for
−Removed: consideration.
−Removed: At commencement, contracts containing a lease are further evaluated for classification as an operating or finance lease
−Removed: where the Company is a lessee.
−Removed: When the arrangements include lease and non-lease components, the Company accounts for them as a single
−Removed: lease component.
−Removed: which substantially all the benefits and risks incidental to ownership remain with the lessor is classified by the lessee as an operating
−Removed: Operating leases are included in the line items right-of-use (“ROU”) asset, lease liabilities, current, and non-current
−Removed: lease liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheet.
−Removed: ROU assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset
−Removed: for the lease term and lease liabilities represent its obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease.
−Removed: For operating leases,
−Removed: the Company measures its lease liabilities based on the present value of the total lease payments not yet paid.
−Removed: These payments are then
−Removed: discounted based on the more readily determinable of the rate implicit in the lease or its incremental borrowing rate, which is the estimated
−Removed: rate the Company would be required to pay for a collateralized borrowing equal to the total lease payments over the term of the lease.
−Removed: The Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at lease commencement date in determining the present
−Removed: value of lease payments.
−Removed: The Company measures ROU assets based on the corresponding lease liability adjusted for payments made to the
−Removed: lessor at or before the commencement date, and initial direct costs it incurs under the lease.
−Removed: The Company begins recognizing lease expense
−Removed: when the lessor makes the underlying asset available to the Company.
−Removed: Lease expenses for lease payments are recognized on a straight-line
−Removed: basis over the lease term.
−Removed: with a lease term of less than one year (short-term leases), the Company has elected not to recognize a lease liability or ROU asset
−Removed: on its consolidated balance sheet.
−Removed: Instead, it recognizes the lease payments as expenses on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
−Removed: Short-term lease costs are immaterial to its condensed consolidated statements of operations and cash flows.
−Removed: transfer substantially all of the benefits and risks incidental to the ownership of assets are accounted for as finance leases as if
−Removed: there was an acquisition of an asset and incurrence of an obligation at the inception of the lease.
−Removed: Lease cost for finance leases where
−Removed: the Company is the lessee includes the amortization of the ROU asset, which is amortized on a straight-line basis and recorded to depreciation
−Removed: and amortization and interest expense on the finance lease liability, which is calculated using the effective interest method and recorded
−Removed: to interest expense on the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations.
−Removed: Finance lease ROU assets are amortized over
−Removed: the shorter of their estimated useful lives or the terms of the respective leases.
−Removed: If the Company is reasonably certain to exercise the
−Removed: option to purchase the underlying asset at the end of lease term, the finance lease ROU assets are amortized to the end of useful life
−Removed: of the assets on a straight-line basis.
−Removed: evaluates all of its financial instruments, including issued share purchase warrants, to determine if such instruments are derivatives
−Removed: or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives, pursuant to ASC 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815-40”).
−Removed: The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is reassessed
−Removed: at the end of each reporting period.
−Removed: The Company accounts for the Public Warrants (as defined in Note 12) (the “Warrants”)
−Removed: in accordance with the guidance contained in ASC 815-40 under which the Warrants do not meet the criteria for equity treatment and must

−Removed: Accordingly, the Company classifies the Warrants as liabilities at their fair value and adjusts the Warrants
−Removed: to fair value at each reporting period.
−Removed: This liability is subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date until exercised, and any
−Removed: change in fair value is recognized in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
−Removed: The Warrants for periods where no observable
−Removed: traded price was available are valued using a binomial lattice model.
−Removed: The quoted market price is utilized as the fair value as of each

−Removed: for Probable Loss Contingencies
−Removed: the normal course of business, the Company is involved in various claims and legal proceedings.
−Removed: A liability is recorded for such matters
−Removed: when it is probable that a loss has been incurred and the amounts can be reasonably estimated.
−Removed: When only a range of possible loss can
−Removed: be established, the most probable amount in the range is accrued.
−Removed: If no amount within this range is a better estimate than any other
−Removed: amount within the range, the minimum amount in the range is accrued.
−Removed: Legal costs associated with loss contingencies are expensed as incurred.
−Removed: Company accounts for its revenue in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”).
−Removed: Company applies judgment in the determination of performance obligations in accordance with ASC 606.
−Removed: Performance obligations in a contract

−Removed: can benefit from the service either on its own or together with other resources that are readily available from third parties or from
−Removed: the Company, and are distinct in the context of the contract, whereby the transfer of the services is separately identifiable from other
−Removed: promises in the contract.
−Removed: In addition, a single performance obligation may comprise a series of distinct goods or services that are substantially
−Removed: the same and that have the same pattern of transfer to the customer.
−Removed: This principle is achieved through applying the following five-step
−Removed: 1 - Identification of the contract, or contracts, with a client.
−Removed: 2 - Identification of the performance obligations in the contract.
−Removed: 3 - Determination of the transaction price.
−Removed: 4 - Allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract
−Removed: 5 - Recognition of revenue when, or as, the Company satisfies a performance obligation.
−Removed: Company recognizes and records revenue from its operations upon completion of installation for both solar system installations and roofing
−Removed: installations.
−Removed: In connection with the sales and installation, a signed contract between the Company and the purchaser defines the duties
−Removed: and obligations of each party.
−Removed: The contract is specific as to the duties and responsibilities which govern the accounting for these transactions.
−Removed: Once the Company’s performance obligations are met with installation completed, according to the signed contract, the Company’s
−Removed: obligations are completed, and title is transferred to the buyer.
−Removed: The Company believes its performance obligation is completed once the
−Removed: installation of the solar panels is completed, which is prior to the customer receiving permission to operate the solar panels from the
−Removed: local utility company.
−Removed: The Company records sales revenue at this point in time in its accounting records.
−Removed: Many of the Company’s
−Removed: customers finance their obligations with third parties.
−Removed: In these situations, the finance company deducts their financing fees and remits
−Removed: the net amount to the Company.
−Removed: Revenue recorded is equal to the contract amount signed by the purchaser, net of the financing fees.
−Removed: Company incurs several costs associated with the installation prior to its completion.
−Removed: In accordance with ASC 340, Other Assets and
−Removed: Deferred Costs, installation-related costs are recorded as prepaid expenses and other current assets and in turn are expensed when
−Removed: installation is completed.
−Removed: Thus, revenue recognition is in turn matched with the installation equipment costs and expense associated
−Removed: with the completion of each project.

+Added: The Company accounts
+Added: for the Public Warrants (as defined in Note 12) in accordance with the guidance contained in ASC 815-40 under which the Warrants do not
+Added: meet the criteria for equity treatment and must be recorded as liabilities.
+Added: Accordingly, the Company classifies the Warrants as liabilities
+Added: at their fair value and adjusts the Warrants to fair value at each reporting period.
+Added: This liability is subject to re-measurement at each
+Added: balance sheet date until exercised, and any change in fair value is recognized in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
+Added: The quoted market price is utilized as the fair value as of each relevant date.
+Added: Revenue Recognition
+Added: The Company accounts for revenue in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue
+Added: from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”).
+Added: The Company applies judgment in the determination of performance obligations
+Added: in accordance with ASC 606.
+Added: Performance obligations in a contract are identified based on the services that will be transferred to the
+Added: customer that are both capable of being distinct, whereby the customer can benefit from the service either on its own or together with
+Added: other resources that are readily available from third parties or from the Company, and are distinct in the context of the contract, whereby
+Added: the transfer of the services is separately identifiable from other promises in the contract.
+Added: In addition, a single performance obligation
+Added: may comprise a series of distinct goods or services that are substantially the same and that have the same pattern of transfer to the
+Added: This principle is achieved through applying the following five-step approach:
+Added: Step 1 - Identification of the contract, or contracts, with a customer.
+Added: Step 2 - Identification of the performance obligations in the contract.
+Added: Step 3 - Determination of the transaction price.
+Added: Step 4 - Allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract
+Added: Step 5 - Recognition of revenue when, or as, the Company satisfies a performance obligation.
+Added: The Company recognizes and records revenue from its operations upon
+Added: completion of installation for both solar system installations and roofing installations.
+Added: In connection with the sales and installation,
+Added: a signed contract between the Company and the purchaser defines the duties and obligations of each party.
+Added: The contract is specific as
+Added: to the duties and responsibilities which govern the accounting for these transactions.
+Added: Once the Company’s performance obligations
+Added: are met with installation completed, according to the signed contract, the Company’s obligations are completed, and title is transferred
+Added: to the buyer.
+Added: The Company believes its performance obligation is completed once the installation of the solar panels is completed, which
+Added: is prior to the customer receiving permission to operate the solar panels from the local utility company.
+Added: The Company records sales revenue
+Added: at this point in time.
+Added: Many of the Company’s customers finance their obligations with third parties.
+Added: In these situations, the finance
+Added: company deducts their financing fees and remits the net amount to the Company.
+Added: Revenue recorded is equal to the contract amount signed
+Added: by the purchaser, net of the financing fees.
+Added: The Company incurs several costs associated with the installation prior to its completion.
+Added: In accordance with ASC 340, Other Assets and Deferred Costs, installation-related costs are recorded as prepaid expenses and other
+Added: current assets and in turn are expensed when installation is completed.
+Added: Thus, revenue recognition is in turn matched with the installation
+Added: equipment costs and expense associated with the completion of each project.

−Removed: Such costs are included as sales and marketing
−Removed: on the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

−Removed: measurement date.
−Removed: The inputs are both unobservable for the asset and liability in the market and significant to the overall fair value
−Removed: some circumstances, the inputs used to measure fair value might be categorized within different levels of the fair value hierarchy.
