Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of preparation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information required by GAAP for complete annual financial statement presentation.

In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal and recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations have been included in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Operating results for the six-month period ended June 30, 2014, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for other interim periods or for the full year ended December 31, 2014. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013, as filed with the Securities Exchange Commission.

Principles of consolidation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Powin Corporation and its subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. Equity investments through which the Company exercises significant influence over but does not control the investee and is not the primary beneficiary of the investee’s activities are accounted for using the equity method. Investments through which the Company is not able to exercise significant influence over the investee are accounted for under the cost method.

Inventory

Inventories consist of parts and equipment including electronic parts and components, furniture, rubber products, plastic products and exercise equipment. Inventory is valued at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out method) or market. The Company capitalizes applicable direct and indirect costs incurred in the Company’s manufacturing operations to bring its products to a sellable state. For the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, the Company recorded a provision for inventory obsolescence of $395,896 and $206,603, respectively, which is included in cost of sales. The components of inventories were as follows:

	June 30, 2014 (Unaudited)			December 31, 2013 (Audited)
Raw materials	$	244,448		$	249,289
Work in progress		209,022			35,601
Finished goods		2,682,638			2,421,031
Reserve for slow moving and obsolete inventory		(1,270,364	)	$	(874,468	)
Inventories, net	$	1,865,744		$	1,831,453

Foreign currencies

Assets and liabilities recorded in foreign currencies are translated to U.S. dollars at the exchange rate on the balance sheet date. Revenue and expenses are translated to U.S. dollars at average rates of exchange prevailing during the year. Translation adjustments resulting from this process are recorded to other comprehensive income (“OCI”).

Use of estimates

The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires the use of management’s estimates. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods presented. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Segment reporting

ASC 280, Segment Reporting, formerly known as Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 131, Disclosure about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information, requires use of the “management approach” model for segment reporting. Under this model, segment reporting is consistent with the manner that the Company’s management organizes segments within the company for making operating decisions and assessing performance. Reportable segments are based on products and services, geography, legal structure, management structure or any other manner in which management disaggregates a company.

Note 2: Going concern

The Company sustained operating losses during the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 and for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 and incurred negative cash flows from operations in those same periods. 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, as may be required.

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern; however, the above condition raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to do so. The condensed 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 classification of liabilities that may result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Note 3: Loss per share

Basic loss per share is based on the weighted-average effect of all common shares issued and outstanding, and is calculated by dividing net loss by the weighted-average shares outstanding during the year. Diluted loss per share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common shares used in the basic loss per share calculation plus the number of common shares that would be issued assuming exercise or conversion of all potentially dilutive common shares outstanding. The Company excludes equity instruments from the calculation of diluted earnings per share if the effect of including such instruments is antidilutive.

The components of basic and diluted loss per share are as follows:

	For the three months ended June 30,						For the six months ended June 30,
	2014 (Unaudited)			2013 (Unaudited))			2014 (Unaudited)			2013 (Unaudited)

Net loss attributable to common shareholders		(1,856,296	)		(1,630,861	)		(3,280,096	)		(2,299,812	)
Less preferred share dividends		-			-			-			-
Net loss available to common shareholders (A)		(1,856,296	)		(1,630,861	)		(3,280,096	)		(2,299,812	)

Weighted average outstanding shares of common stock (B)		16,235,255			16,217,255			16,234,012			16,217,255
Dilutive effect of securities		-			-			-			-
Common stock and common stock equivalents (C)		16,235,255			16,217,255			16,234,012			16,217,255

Loss per share
Basic (A/B)	$	(0.12	)	$	(0.10	)	$	(0.21	)	$	(0.15	)
Diluted (A/C)	$	(0.12	)	$	(0.10	)	$	(0.21	)	$	(0.15	)

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, the effect of warrants, stock options and convertible preferred stock are excluded from loss per share because their impact is considered to be anti-dilutive.

Note 4: Notes Payable and Long Term Debt

Note 7: Business segment reporting

Basis for Presentation

Our operating businesses are organized based on the nature of markets and customers. Segment accounting policies are the same as described in Note 1.

Effects of transactions between related companies are eliminated and consist primarily of inter-company transactions and transfers of cash or cash equivalents from corporate to support each business segment’s payroll, inventory sourcing and overall operations when each segment has working capital requirements. Corporate overhead costs are allocated to segments based on management’s estimates of the consumption of such services by each segment.

A description of our operating segments as of June 30, 2014 and June 30, 2013, follows.

Contract manufacturing (formerly OEM):

Outsourced manufacturing for North American companies, including senior citizen safety products; steel gun safes; outdoor cooking equipment; trampolines; plastic products and small electronic appliances. Contract manufacturing also offers logistic services and a qualified engineer team to support and provide in-house design.

Manufacturing (formerly QBF):

Our manufacturing segment, Powin Manufacturing formerly named Quality Bending and Fabrication (“QBF”), manufactures various truck parts and components primarily for Freightliner Trucks, a division of Daimler Trucks North America, the largest manufacturer of heavy-duty vehicles in North America. Daimler Trucks North America designs, builds and markets a wide range of Class 3-8 vehicles including long-haul highway tractors, heavy-duty construction and vocational trucks, mid-range trucks for distribution and service, school and transit buses, fire and emergency service apparatus, and chassis for step vans, school and shuttle buses, and motor homes. Freightliner Trucks is headquartered in Portland, Oregon, with truck manufacturing facilities located in Portland and throughout the United States and Mexico.

Manufacturing is completed at the Company’s leased facility in Tualatin, Oregon as well as arranging the outsourced manufacturing at a third-party factory in Qingdao, China.

Energy:

Powin Energy has developed market leading architecture that utilizes proprietary patent-pending energy storage technology for scalable grid energy storage systems, power supply units for electric vehicles, and transportation applications. Through December 31, 2013, the Energy segment has focused on identifying target markets and applications and finalizing the development of products to serve those markets and applications. The Company expects increased operations from this segment in 2014.

Product & Service (formerly Channel Partner Program, Warehousing and Wooden)

The Product & Service segment contains the legacy operations of Channel Partner Program, a distribution channel for North American companies to sell their products in China as well as selling certain consumer products through U.S.-based retailers and marketplaces, including online; and Warehousing, which provides warehousing services in support of the Company’s customers across all segments. The segment will be used for future products and services that are not related to an existing segment and haven’t reach a level to require separate management and segmentation.

Powin Mexico:

Powin Mexico is a manufacturing segment, currently manufacturing gun safes, but also capable of manufacturing heavy truck parts. Operations began in 2013, but are expected to increase in 2014.

Revenues and net loss before income taxes of each of the Company’s segments are as follows:

Results of Operations

The following table presents the Company’s revenues by business segment, for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013:

	Three Months ended June 30,
	2014(Unaudited)		2013 (Unaudited)		$ Change			% Change
Revenue
Contract manufacturing	$	1,118,005	$	3,254,988		(2,136,983	)		(65.7	)%
Manufacturing		1,205,291		1,226,421		(21,130	)		(1.7	)%
Energy		137,290		85,574		51,716			60.4	%
Mexico		5,605		17,080		(11,475	)		(67.2)	%
Product & Service		3,477		70,717		(67,240	)		(95.1)	%
Consolidated	$	2,469,668	$	4,654,780		(2,185,112	)		(46.9	)%

Consolidated net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2014, decreased approximately $2.2 million or 46.9% from the same period of 2013. The decrease was substantially all in the contract manufacturing segment, which experienced a revenue decline of $2.1 million or 65.7% compared to the second quarter of 2013. The primary reason for the decrease was the loss of two customers that began purchasing directly from the manufacturers. On a sequential basis, Contract manufacturing revenues for the second quarter of 2014 were down $178 thousand or 13.7% from the first quarter of 2014.

For the three months ended June 30, 2014, compared to the same period last year, all other segments performed as expected with Manufacturing sales decreasing $21 thousand or 2%; Energy sales increasing $52 thousand or 60%; The Energy sales increase primarily due to continued investment being made by the company in this segment’s sales and new product development; Mexico sales decreasing $11 thousand or 67%. The decrease primary due to the truck parts sold to Daimler by Mexico last year were moved back to supply by Powin Manufacturing in 2014; and Product and Service revenue decreasing $67 thousand or 95% as the Company phased out the legacy businesses within this segment.

Manufacturing had decreased revenues because sales to the segment’s primary customer, Daimler Trucks North America, decreased during the three months ended June 30, 2014 compare to the same period last year.

The Energy segment is finalizing its product offerings and expects to book orders in the second half of 2014. Likewise, the Mexico segment is ramping production and expects to see revenues increase in the second half of the year.

Consolidated operating expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2014, increased approximately $268 thousand dollars or 17.0%, from $1.6 million in the same period of 2013 to $1.8 million. The increase is primarily in salaries and professional fees in Energy to prepare the segment for the launch of new products in the second half of 2014.

For the three months ended June 30, 2014, the Company had net loss of approximately $1.9 million or $0.12 per share, compared to net loss of approximately $1.6 million or $0.10 per share for the same period of 2013. The net loss increased is primarily due to the addition of key management personnel and outside consultants were hired on researching, developing and testing new energy products.

The following table presents the Company’s revenues by business segment, for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013:

	Six Months ended June 30,
	2014 (Unaudited)		2013 (Unaudited)		$ Change			% Change
Revenue
Contract manufacturing	$	2,414,163	$	8,933,785		(6,519,622	)		(73.0	)%
Manufacturing		2,334,979		2,217,021		117,958			5.3	%
Energy		209,650		153,926		55,724			36.2	%
Mexico		39,193		47,882		(8,689	)		(18.1)	%
Product & Service		6,442		144,397		(137,955	)		(95.5)	%
Consolidated	$	5,004,427	$	11,497,011		(6,492,584	)		(56.5	)%

Consolidated net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2014, decreased approximately $6.5 million or 56.5% from the same period of 2013. The decrease was substantially all in the contract manufacturing segment, which experienced a revenue decline of $6.5 million or 73.0% compared to the first two quarters of 2013. The primary reason for the decrease was the loss of two customers that began purchasing directly from the manufacturers. On a sequential basis, Contract manufacturing revenues for the second quarter of 2014 were down $178 thousand or 13.7% from the first quarter of 2014.

For the six months ended June 30, 2014, compared to the same period last year, all other segments performed as expected with Manufacturing sales increasing $118 thousand or 5%; Energy sales increasing $56 thousand or 36%; The Energy sales increased primarily due to continued investment being made by the company in this segment’s sales and new product development; Mexico sales decreasing $9 thousand or 18%. The decrease primary due to the truck parts sold to Daimler by Mexico last year were moved back to supply by Powin Manufacturing in 2014; and Product and Service revenue decreasing $138 thousand or 96% as the Company phased out the legacy businesses within this segment.

Manufacturing realized an increase in revenues as the relationship with the segment’s primary customer, Daimler Trucks North America, improved during the six months ended June 30, 2014 compare to the same period last year.

Consolidated operating expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2014, increased approximately $597 thousand dollars or 18.9%, from $3.2 million in the same period of 2013 to $3.8 million. The increase is primarily in salaries and professional fees in Energy to prepare the segment for the launch of new products in the second half of 2014.

For the six months ended June 30, 2014, the Company had net loss of approximately $3.4 million or $0.21 per share, compared to net loss of approximately $2.4 million or $0.15 per share for the same period of 2013. As reported above the net loss increased is primarily due to the addition of key management personnel and outside consultants were hired on researching, developing and testing new products.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash used in operating activities were approximately $2.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014, compared to $2.1 million for the same period in 2013.

Cash used in investing activities was $0 and $100 thousand during the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, as the Company has eliminated all non-critical capital expenditures.

Net cash provided from financing activities was $1.8 million and $2.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

During the six months ended June 30, 2014, the Company borrowed $1,670,493 from related parties for operating cash flows as follows:

Date of borrowing	Lender	Due Date	Interest rate	Amount

January 27, 2014	Danny Lu	June 30, 2015	6%	$ 250,000
February 11, 2014	Peter Lu	June 30, 2015	6%	$ 250,000
February 24, 2014	Danny Lu	July 31, 2015	6%	$ 100,000
March 28, 2014	Peter Lu	June 30, 2015	6%	$ 200,000
March 28, 2014	Danny Lu	June 30, 2015	6%	$ 100,000
April 29, 2014	Lu Pacific Properties, LLC	July 31, 2015	6%	$ 300,000
May 15, 2014	Joseph Lu	June 30, 2015	6%	$ 200,000
June10, 2014	Joseph Lu	June 30, 2015	6%	$ 70,493
June 24, 2014	Joseph Lu	June 30, 2015	5%	$ 200,000

Subsequent to June 30, 2014, the Company has borrowed an additional $200,000 from a third party and borrowed $80,000 from Danny and $80,000 from Peter as follows:

Borrowings subsequent to June 30, 2014:

Date of borrowing	Lender	Due Date	Interest rate	Amount

July16, 2014	3U (HK) Trading Co. Limited	July 31, 2015	6%	$ 200,000
August 4, 2014	Danny Lu	June 30, 2015	6%	$ 80,000
August 4, 2014	Peter Lu	June 30, 2015	6%	$ 80,000

The Company’s management does not believe the current cash and cash flow from operations will be sufficient to meet anticipated cash needs, including cash for working capital and capital expenditures in the foreseeable future. The Company will likely require additional cash resources that will require the Company to sell additional equity securities or debt securities. The sale of convertible debt securities or additional equity securities could result in additional dilution to the company’s stockholders. The incurrence of additional indebtedness would result in increased debt service obligations and could result in operating and financing covenants that would restrict our operations and liquidity.

The Company’s ability to obtain additional capital on acceptable terms is subject to a variety of uncertainties including: investors’ perception of, and demand for, securities of alternative manufacturing companies; conditions of the United States and other capital markets in which we may seek to raise funds; and future results of operations, financial condition and cash flow. Therefore, the Company’s management cannot assure that financing will be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to the Company, if at all. Any failure by the Company’s management to raise additional funds on terms favorable to the Company could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s liquidity and financial condition.
