AMERICAN DG ENERGY INC.


Note 1. Description of Business and Basis of Presentation
 
Description of Business
 
American DG Energy Inc., or the Company, we, our or us, distributes, owns, operates and maintains clean, on-site energy systems that produce electricity, hot water, heat and cooling. The Company's business model is to own the equipment that it installs at customers' facilities and to sell the energy produced by these systems to its customers on a long-term contractual basis at prices guaranteed to the customer to be below conventional utility rates. The Company calls this business the American DG Energy “On-Site Utility”.
 
The Company has experienced total net losses since inception of approximately $36 million. For the foreseeable future, the Company expects to experience continuing operating losses and negative cash flows from operations as its management executes the current business plan. The Company believes that its existing resources, including cash and cash equivalents and future cash flow from operations, are sufficient to meet the working capital requirements of its existing business for the foreseeable future. However, as the Company continues to grow its business by adding more energy systems, cash requirements will increase and the Company may need to raise additional capital through debt financings or equity offerings to meet its operating and capital needs. There can be no assurance, however, that the Company will be successful in its fundraising efforts or that additional funds will be available on acceptable terms, if at all. If the Company is unable to raise additional funds in the future it may need to terminate certain of its employees and adjust its business plans. Financial considerations may cause the Company to modify planned deployment of new energy systems and may decide to suspend installations until it is able to secure additional working capital. The Company will evaluate possible acquisitions of, or investments in, businesses, technologies and products that are complementary to its business; however, the Company is not currently engaged in such discussions.

Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2015.
The consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2014 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.
For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in American DG Energy Inc.’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014.
There have been no significant changes in accounting principles, practices or inherent estimates.    
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and entities in which it has a controlling financial interest including its 48.0% owned subsidiary EuroSite Power Inc. (EuroSite Power) which the Company has determined to be a Variable Interest Entity (VIE) and for which the Company has determined it is the primary beneficiary.

The Company’s operations are comprised of one business segment. The Company’s business is selling energy in the form of electricity, heat, hot water and cooling to its customers under long-term sales agreements.

AMERICAN DG ENERGY INC.



Note 2. Loss Per Common Share            
    
The Company computes basic loss per share by dividing net income (loss) for the period by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. The Company computes diluted earnings per common share using the treasury stock method. For purposes of calculating diluted earnings per share, the Company considers its shares issuable in connection with convertible debentures, stock options and warrants to be dilutive common stock equivalents when the exercise price is less than the average market price of its common stock for the period. For the three month period ended March 31, 2015, the Company excluded 15,763,083 potentially dilutive shares, and for the three month period ended March 31, 2014, the Company excluded 12,088,313 potentially dilutive shares because such shares would be anti-dilutive as a result of the reported net loss.

AMERICAN DG ENERGY INC.


Note 3. Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes in the accompanying unaudited consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 differ from that which would be expected by applying the federal statutory tax rate primarily due to losses for which no benefit is recognized.
               

Note 4. Warrant Liability
 
In connection with a subscription agreement that the Company entered into on December 9, 2010 the Company issued warrants for the purchase of 500,000 shares of its common stock. The warrants have an exercise price of $3.25 and are exercisable for five years, commencing six months after the closing of the offering and expire on December 14, 2015.
 
The warrants contain both a right to obtain stock upon exercise, or a Call, and a right to settle the warrants for cash upon the occurrence of certain events, or a Put. Generally, the Put provisions allow the warrant holders liquidity protection; the right to receive cash equal to the value of the remaining unexercised portion of the warrants in certain situations where the holders would not have a means of readily selling the shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants (e.g., where there would no longer be a significant public market for the Company’s common stock). Specifically, the Put rights would be triggered upon the occurrence of a Fundamental Transaction as defined in the agreement. Pursuant to the agreement, in the case of a Fundamental Transaction the warrant holders would receive a cash settlement in an amount equal to the value of obtained by using the Black Scholes Option Pricing Model obtained from the “OV” function on Bloomberg L.P. using (i) a price per share of Common Stock equal to the Volume-Weighted Average Price of the Common Stock for the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of consummation of the applicable Fundamental Transaction, (ii) a risk-free interest rate corresponding to the U.S. Treasury rate for a period equal to the remaining term of this Warrant as of the date of consummation of the applicable Fundamental Transaction and (iii) an expected volatility equal to the lesser of (1) the thirty (30) day volatility obtained from the “HVT” function on Bloomberg L.P. determined as of the end of the Trading Day immediately following the public announcement of the applicable Fundamental Transaction or (2) 70%. These warrants are classified as liabilities pursuant to the FASB guidance contained in ASC 480. Changes in the fair value of the warrant liabilities are recorded in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations (see note 5. "Fair Value Measurements”).


Note 5. Fair Value Measurements

The fair value topic of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The accounting guidance also establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs, where available, and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. There are three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
 
Level 1 - Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. The Company currently does not have any Level 1 financial assets or liabilities.
 
Level 2 - Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1. Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in non-active markets, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets and inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability. The Company considers its convertible debentures a level 2 liability and believes that its carrying value approximates fair value.
 
Level 3 - Unobservable inputs reflecting management’s own assumptions about the input used in pricing the asset or liability.

As of March 31, 2015, the Company has classified the warrants with put and call rights as Level 3 (see Note 4. "Warrant Liability”). The Company estimated the fair value of the warrants using a Black-Scholes option pricing model under various probability-weighted outcomes which take into consideration the protective, but limited, cash-settlement feature of the warrants. At issuance, the following average assumptions were assigned to the varying outcomes: expected volatility of 57.0%, risk free interest rate of 2.08%, expected life of five years and no dividends. The Company estimated the fair value of the warrants at March 31, 2015 using this same model with the following average assumptions assigned to the varying outcomes: expected volatility of 82.7%, risk free interest rates of 1.52%, expected lives of 0.71 and no dividends. As

of March 31, 2015, the financial liabilities held by the Company and measured at fair value on a recurring basis (which consist solely of the warrant liability) were $382. The following table summarizes the warrant liability activity for the period:

Note 6. Stockholders’ Equity
 
On January 29, 2015, the Company entered into an exchange agreement, or the Exchange Agreement, with IN Holdings Corp., a holder of more than 5% percent of the Company’s common stock, or IN Holdings. In connection with the Exchange Agreement, IN Holdings transferred to the Company 1,320,000 shares of the Company’s common stock that it owned, and in exchange, the Company transferred to IN Holdings 1,320,000 shares of the common stock of EuroSite Power Inc. that it owned. The exchange was accounted for as an acquisition and retirement of treasury shares and a disposal of partial ownership of a consolidated subsidiary. As the company retained a controlling financial interest following the exchange, no gain or loss was recognized on the disposal in accordance with ASC 810-10-45-23. In accordance with ASC 845-10-05-4, nonmonetary transactions, the fair value of the shares surrendered by the Company in the exchange were used to value the exchange.

On September 19, 2014, the Board of Directors of the Company approved a common stock repurchase program that shall not exceed 1,000,000 shares of common stock and shall not exceed $1,100,000 of cost. The approval allows for purchases over a 24 month period at prices not to exceed $1.30 per share. During the first three months of 2015 the Company repurchased 152,437 shares of common stock at an average price of $0.51. See Part II, Item 2, "Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds", for further details.

Note 7.  Related Parties
 
Eurosite Power, Tecogen, Ilios Inc., or Ilios are affiliated companies by virtue of common ownership.
    
The Company purchases the majority of its cogeneration units from Tecogen, an affiliate Company sharing similar ownership. In addition, Tecogen pays certain operating expenses, including benefits and payroll, on behalf of the Company and the Company leases office space from Tecogen. These costs were reimbursed by the Company. As of March 31, 2015, the Company owed Tecogen $308,386 and Tecogen owed the Company $33,109.

During the first quarter of 2015, Eurosite Power, repaid $1,000,000 of a related party $3,000,000 note in accordance to the original terms of the agreement.

Note 8. Commitments and Contingencies
 
The Company has certain commitments under agreements with Tecogen, Ilios, and other related parties. See note 7. "Related Parties"
The Company, in the ordinary course of business is involved in various legal matters, the outcomes of which are not expected to have a material impact on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
 
Forward-Looking Statements

Forward-looking statements are made throughout this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. Any statements contained herein that are not statements of historical fact may be deemed to be forward-looking statements. Without limiting the foregoing, the words “believes,” “anticipates,” “plans,” “expects,” “seeks,” “estimates” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements include, among other things, statements regarding our current and future cash requirements, our expectations regarding suppliers of cogeneration units, and statements regarding potential financing activities in the future. While the Company may elect to update forward-looking statements in the future, it specifically disclaims any obligation to do so, even if the Company’s estimates change, and readers should not rely on those forward-looking statements as representing the Company’s views as of any date subsequent to the date of the filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, or this Quarterly Report. There are a number of important factors that could cause the actual results of the Company to differ materially from those indicated by such forward-looking statements, including those detailed under the heading “Risk Factors” in this Quarterly Report.

Overview
 
The Company distributes and operates on-site cogeneration systems that produce both electricity and heat. The Company’s primary business is to own the equipment that it installs at customers’ facilities and to sell the energy produced by these systems to its customers on a long-term contractual basis. The Company calls this business the American DG Energy “On-Site Utility”.

The majority of our heating system sales are in the winter and the majority of our chilling systems sales are int he summer.

The profitability of our business model is highly dependent on the functionality of our energy equipment, the price of electricity, the demand for electricity, and to a lesser extent, the price of natural gas. Generally, increase in demand for electricity tends to cause prices to rise. Higher electricity prices increase the Company’s revenue and liquidity. Lower natural gas prices decrease operational cost. To mitigate the risk of low electrical rates, the Company pursues energy system projects in areas with higher electrical rates.

Result of Operation

First Quarter 2015 Compared to First Quarter 2014.

Revenues
 
Revenues in the first quarter of 2015 were $2,507,740 compared to $2,527,800 for the same period in 2014, a decrease of $20,060 or 0.8%. The main reason for the decline was less turnkey revenue and less demand for heat and hot water at some sites. On-Site Utility energy revenue in the first quarter of 2015 was $2,390,347 compared to $2,396,281 for the same period in 2014, a decrease of $5,934 or 0.2%. Our turnkey and other revenue in the first quarter of 2015 decreased to $117,393 compared to $131,519 for the same period in 2014, a decrease of $14,126 or 10.7%. During the first quarter of 2015, in addition to our On-Site Utility energy revenue, the Company performed billable services and recorded revenue primarily from the sale of energy equipment and energy feasibility studies. The revenue from our turnkey projects can vary substantially from period to period. While the Company accepts turnkey installation projects, they are not considered our core business.
 
During the first quarter of 2015, the Company operated 126 energy systems, representing 8,511 kWh of installed electricity potential, compared to 119 energy systems, representing 8,078 kWh of installed electricity potential for the same period in 2014. The revenue per customer on a monthly basis is based on the sum of the amount of energy produced by the Company’s energy systems and the published price of energy (electricity, natural gas or oil) from its customers’ local energy utility that month, less the discounts the Company provides its customers. The Company’s revenues commence as new energy systems become operational.
 
Cost of Sales
 
Cost of sales, including depreciation, in the first quarter of 2015 were $2,236,110 compared to $2,189,210 for the same period in 2014, an increase of $46,900 or 2.1%. The increase is principally due to higher depreciation from more sites and higher maintenance costs. Included in the cost of sales was depreciation expense of $508,457 in the first quarter of 2015, compared to $481,564 for the same period in 2014. The cost of fuel, maintenance and installation was $1,727,653 in the first quarter of 2015, compared to $1,707,646 for the same period in 2014, an increase of $20,007 or 1.2%, which is primarily due to an increase in the number of operating sites.
 
During the first quarter of 2015, our gross margins were 10.8% compared to 13.4% for the same period in 2014, principally due to increases in depreciation expenses. Our On-Site Utility energy margins, excluding depreciation, were 31.1% in the first quarter of 2015, compared to 32.4% for the same period in 2014.

Operating Expenses
 
Our general and administrative expenses consist of executive staff, accounting and legal expenses, office space, general insurance and other administrative expenses. Our general and administrative expenses in the first quarter of 2015 were $861,062 compared to $773,960 for the same period in 2014, an increase of $87,102 or 11.3%. The increase was primarily due to increased legal expense and unfavorable GBP exchange rates.
 
Our selling expenses consist of sales staff, commissions, marketing, travel and other selling related expenses including provisions for bad debt write-offs. The Company sells energy using both direct sales and commissioned agents. Our marketing efforts consisted of internet marketing, print literature, media relations and event-driven direct mail. Our selling expenses in the first quarter of 2015 were $340,693 compared to $261,116 for the same period in 2014, an increase of $79,577 or 30.5%. The increase in expense was primarily due to severance costs and higher professional fees.
 
Our engineering expenses consisted of technical staff and other engineering related expenses. The role of engineering is to evaluate potential customer sites based on technical and economic feasibility, manage the installed base of energy systems and oversee each new installation project. Our engineering expenses in the first quarter of 2015 were $170,370 compared to $263,771 for the same period in 2014, a decrease of $93,401. The decrease was primarily due to lower headcount, consulting fees, freight expense and supply costs.
 
Loss from Operations

AMERICAN DG ENERGY INC.



The loss from operations in the first quarter of 2015 was $1,100,495 compared to a loss of $960,257 for the same period in 2014, an increase of $140,238 or 14.6%. The increase in the operating loss was due to a lower gross margin by$66,960 and higher operating expenses of $73,278. Our non-cash compensation expense related to outstanding restricted stock and option awards to our employees was $150,459 in the first quarter of 2015, compared to $138,628 for the same period in 2014.
 
Other Income (Expense), Net
 
Our other expense, net, in the first quarter of 2015 was an expense of $287,792 compared to an expense of $938,809 for the same period in 2014, a decrease of $651,017. Other expense, net, includes interest and other income, interest expense and the change in fair value of warrant liability. Interest expense was $312,456 in the first quarter of 2015 compared to $354,503 for the same period in 2014, a decrease of $42,047. The change in fair value of warrant liability for the period ending March 31, 2015 resulted in a gain of $6,398 compared to a loss of $66,113 for the same period in 2014. The principal reason for the large gain this quarter is due to the short remaining life of the warrant liability.
 
Provision for Income Taxes
 
Our provision for taxes in the first quarter of 2015 was $7,355 compared to $6,940 for the same period in 2014.
 
Noncontrolling Interest
