NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

1. BUSINESS ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS

Car Charging Group, Inc. (“CCGI”) was incorporated on October 3, 2006 under the laws of the State of Nevada as New Image Concepts, Inc. On November 20, 2009, New Image Concepts, Inc. changed its name to Car Charging Group, Inc.

CCGI, through its wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company” or “Car Charging”), acquires and installs electric vehicle (“EV”) charging stations and shares servicing fees received from customers that use the charging stations with the property owner(s), on a property by property basis. In addition, the Company sells hardware and enters into individual arrangements for this purpose with various property owners, which may include municipalities, garage operators, hospitals, multi-family properties, shopping malls and facility owner/operators.

2. GOING CONCERN AND MANAGEMENT’S PLANS

As of March 31, 2015, the Company had a cash balance, a working capital deficiency and an accumulated deficit of $322,871, $16,526,099 and $68,473,901, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company incurred a net loss of $3,682,033 and $3,858,917, respectively. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

Since inception, the Company’s operations have primarily been funded through proceeds received in equity and debt financings. Although management believes that the Company has access to capital resources, there are currently no commitments in place for new financing at this time, and there is no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain funds on commercially acceptable terms, if at all. There is also no assurance that the amount of funds the Company might raise will enable the Company to complete its development initiatives or attain profitable operations. If the Company is unable to obtain additional financing on a timely basis, it may have to curtail its development, marketing and promotional activities, which would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations, and ultimately the Company could be forced to discontinue its operations and liquidate.

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”), which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern and the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustment that might become necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Subsequent to March 31, 2015, an additional $1,500,000 was released from escrow associated with the 2014 sale of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock and the Company received an aggregate of $2,580,040 through new sales of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock. The Company is currently funding its operations on a month-to-month basis. While there can be no assurance that it will be successful, the Company is in active negotiations to raise additional capital. See Note 11 – Subsequent Events for additional details.

3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of CCGI and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, including Car Charging, Inc., Beam Charging LLC (“Beam”), EV Pass LLC, Blink Network LLC (“Blink”) and Car Charging China Corp. (“Car Charging China”).

Through April 16, 2014, 350 Green LLC (“350 Green”) was a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and was consolidated. Beginning on April 17, 2014, when 350 Green’s assets and liabilities were transferred to a trust mortgage (see Note 4 – Assets and Liabilities Transferred to Trust Mortgage – 350 Green), and through March 31, 2015, 350 Green was a VIE, without recourse to the Company. The consolidation guidance relating to accounting for Variable Interest Entities (“VIE”) requires an enterprise to perform an analysis to determine whether the enterprise’s variable interest or interests give it a controlling financial interest in a variable interest entity and perform ongoing reassessments of whether an enterprise is the primary beneficiary of a VIE. The Company determined that it is the primary beneficiary of 350 Green, and as such, 350 Green’s assets, liabilities and results of operations are included in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES – CONTINUED

USE OF ESTIMATES

Preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, together with amounts disclosed in the related notes to the financial statements. The Company’s significant estimates used in these financial statements include, but are not limited to, stock-based compensation, warranty reserves, inventory valuations, the valuation allowance related to the Company’s deferred tax assets, the carrying amount of intangible assets, estimates of future EV sales and the effects thereon, and the recoverability and useful lives of long-lived assets. Certain of the Company’s estimates, including the carrying amount of the intangible assets, could be affected by external conditions, including those unique to the Company and general economic conditions. It is reasonably possible that these external factors could have an effect on the Company’s estimates and could cause actual results to differ from those estimates.

ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE

Accounts receivable are carried at their contractual amounts, less an estimate for uncollectible amounts. As of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, there was an allowance for uncollectable amounts of $132,667 and $119,936, respectively. Management estimates the allowance for bad debts based on existing economic conditions, the financial conditions of the customers, and the amount and age of past due accounts. Receivables are considered past due if full payment is not received by the contractual due date. Past due accounts are generally written off against the allowance for bad debts only after all collection attempts have been exhausted. There is no collateral held by the Company for accounts receivable nor does any accounts receivable serve as collateral for any of the Company’s borrowings with the exception of the Company’s convertible note payable further described in Note 6 – Notes Payable – Convertible Note Payable.

DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Company evaluates its convertible instruments to determine if those contracts or embedded components of those contracts qualify as derivative financial instruments to be separately accounted for in accordance with Topic 815 of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”). The accounting treatment of derivative financial instruments requires that the Company record the embedded conversion option and warrants at their fair values as of the inception date of the agreement and at fair value as of each subsequent balance sheet date. Any change in fair value is recorded as non-operating, non-cash income or expense for each reporting period at each balance sheet date. The Company reassesses the classification of its derivative instruments at each balance sheet date. If the classification changes as a result of events during the period, the contract is reclassified as of the date of the event that caused the reclassification.

The Binomial Lattice Model was used to estimate the fair value of the warrants and conversion options that are classified as derivative liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The model includes subjective input assumptions that can materially affect the fair value estimates. The expected volatility is estimated based on the most recent historical period of time equal to the weighted average life of the warrants or conversion options.

Conversion options are recorded as a discount to the host instrument and are amortized as interest expense over the life of the underlying instrument.

3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES – CONTINUED

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Company measures the fair value of financial assets and liabilities based on the guidance of ASC 820 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (“ASC 820”) which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.

ASC 820 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. ASC 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. ASC 820 describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities

Level 2 — quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or inputs that are observable

Level 3 — inputs that are unobservable (for example, cash flow modeling inputs based on assumptions)

The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities, such as cash, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate fair values due to the short-term nature of these instruments. The carrying amount of the Company’s notes payable approximates fair value because the effective yields on these obligations, which include contractual interest rates, taken together with other features such as concurrent issuance of warrants, are comparable to rates of returns for instruments of similar credit risk.

REVENUE RECOGNITION

The Company recognizes revenue when it is realized or realizable and earned. The Company considers revenue realized or realizable and earned when all of the following criteria are met: (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (ii) the services have been rendered to the customer, (iii) the sales price is fixed or determinable, and (iv) collectability is reasonably assured. Accordingly, when a customer completes use of a charging station, the service can be deemed rendered and revenue may be recognized based on the time duration of the session or kilowatt hours drawn during the session. Sales of EV stations are recognized upon shipment to the customer, free on board shipping point, or the point of customer acceptance.

Governmental grants and rebates pertaining to revenues and periodic expenses are recognized as income when the related revenue and/or periodic expense are recorded. Government grants and rebates related to EV charging stations and their installation are deferred and amortized in a manner consistent with the related depreciation expense of the related asset over their useful lives.

For arrangements with multiple elements, which is comprised of (1) a charging unit, (2) installation of the charging unit, (3) maintenance and (4) network fees, revenue is recognized dependent upon whether vendor specific objective evidence (“VSOE”) of fair value exists for separating each of the elements. We determined that VSOE exists for both the delivered and undelivered elements of our multiple-element arrangements. We limit our assessment of fair value to either (a) the price charged when the same element is sold separately or (b) the price established by management having the relevant authority.

3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES – CONTINUED

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

The Company measures the cost of services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the fair value of the award. For employees, the fair value of the award is measured on the grant date and for non-employees, the fair value of the award is measured on the grant date and re-measured on vesting dates and interim financial reporting dates until the service period is complete. The fair value amount is then recognized over the period during which services are required to be provided in exchange for the award, usually the vesting period. Awards granted to non-employee directors for their service as a director are treated on the same basis as awards granted to employees. The Company computes the fair value of equity-classified warrants and options granted using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.

NET LOSS PER COMMON SHARE

Basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of vested common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number vested of common shares, plus the net impact of common shares (computed using the treasury stock method), if dilutive, resulting from the exercise of outstanding stock options and warrants, plus the conversion of preferred stock.

The following common stock equivalents are excluded from the calculation of weighted average dilutive common shares because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive:

	March 31,
	2015		2014
Preferred stock		38,239,286		25,000,000
Warrants		58,076,984		36,936,137
Options		7,647,665		5,006,665
Convertible note		199,055		-
Total potentially dilutive shares		104,162,990		66,942,802

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Liabilities for loss contingencies arising from claims, assessments, litigation, fines and penalties and other sources are recorded when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the assessment can be reasonably estimated. See Note 5 – Accrued Expenses, Note 10 – Commitments and Contingencies and Note 11 – Subsequent Events – Litigation and Disputes.

4. ASSETS AND LIABILITIES TRANSFERRED TO TRUST MORTGAGE – 350 GREEN

On April 17, 2014, the Company’s Board of Directors executed a resolution to form a trust mortgage relating to 350 Green. On May 29, 2014, the Company and EVSE Management LLC (“EVSE”) entered into a Management Services Agreement and on June 27, 2014, EVSE purchased certain assets from 350 Green. On September 8, 2014, the Company entered into an agreement among the trustee of 350 Green, an attorney, 350 Green and the Company whereby the Company would pay the legal fees incurred in connection with an action brought by 350 Green against JNS Power and Control Systems, Inc.

On September 30, 2014, the Company (“Assignor”) entered into an Assignment Agreement with Green 350 Trust Mortgage LLC (“Assignee”), an entity formed by the trustee for the sole purpose to entering into this transaction, under which Assignor, the sole member of 350 Green, irrevocably assigned, sold and transferred 100% of the limited liability company membership interests in 350 Green to Assignee and Assignee accepted such transfer in consideration of receipt of $100 as of September 30, 2014.

The Company determined that it is the primary beneficiary of 350 Green due to the subordinated financing arrangements as well as the Company being the primary beneficiary in the outcome of the action against JNS as of March 31, 2015 and, as such, 350 Green’s assets and liabilities and results of operations are included in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. Through April 16, 2014, 350 Green was a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and was consolidated. Beginning on April 17, 2014 and through March 31, 2015, 350 Green was a VIE, without recourse to the Company.

REGISTRATION RIGHTS PENALTY

In connection with the sale of the Company’s common stock and warrants during the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company granted the purchasers and the placement agents registration rights on the common stock and warrants within 60 days of the date of the sale of the stock, as amended. The Stock Purchase Agreement (“SPA”) provided for a penalty provision of 1% of the gross proceeds for each month that the shares are not registered, not to exceed 10%. The Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) notified the Company that it could not review its registration statement until such time as the Company furnished two years of audited financial statements of 350 Green and ECOtality as the acquisitions were deemed significant. The Company sought a waiver of the audit requirement but the SEC denied the granting of a waiver. On February 5, 2015, the holders of a majority of the shares affected by the registration rights penalty granted the Company the option to satisfy the accrued registration rights penalty and related interest as of December 23, 2014 totaling $1,724,823 in Series C Convertible Preferred Stock with a stated value of $100 per share, in lieu of cash. The Company elected this option which required the Company to pay a 20% premium causing the liability to increase to $1,850,188, exclusive of interest of $219,600. On February 10, 2015, the Company issued 20,414 shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock and on March 31, 2015, the Company issued the remaining 283 shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock, such that there was no liability as of March 31, 2015.

In connection with the sale of the Company’s Series C Convertible Preferred Stock during the year ended December 31, 2014, the Company granted the purchasers registration rights. As of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company was not in a position to furnish two years of audited financial statements of 350 Green and ECOtality to the SEC, therefore the SEC is unable to review any registration statement, if submitted. As a result, the Company accrued $500,000 of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock registration rights penalties, which represents 10% of the final Series C Convertible Preferred Stock issuance dollar amount.

DUE TO CREDITORS COMMITTEE OF THE ECOTALITY ESTATE

During the three months ended March 31, 2015, $110,965 was paid to the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors (“Creditors”) on behalf of the Electric Transportation Engineering Corporation of America (“ECOtality”) estate directly to their professional service providers. See Note 11 – Subsequent Events – ECOtality Estate.

ACCRUED PUBLIC INFORMATION FEE

In accordance with the SPA of October 11, 2013 and December 9, 2013, the Company was required to be compliant with Rule 144(c)(1) of the SEC, as defined, so as to enable investors to sell their holdings of Company shares in accordance with the SPA. In the event of the Company’s noncompliance with Rule 144(c)(1) at any time after the six (6) month anniversary of the offering, the investors are entitled to receive a cash fee of 1% of the aggregate subscription amount of the purchaser’s securities, plus an additional 1% for every pro rata 30 day period that the Company is not in compliance. During 2015, the Company was late with several SEC filings resulting in its non-compliance with Rule 144(c)(1). As of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company had accrued $1,175,017 and $711,517, respectively, associated with the obligation.

WARRANTS PAYABLE

In conjunction with the Beam acquisition, the agreement provided for anti-dilution protection to former members of Beam until such time as a former member sells or disposes of all of his CCGI common stock. As specified in the agreement, if the Company issues securities below $1.58 (a “Triggering Event”), the Company is required to issue a one-year warrant to each former member to purchase an additional number of Company common shares at the Triggering Event price. The Company has accrued for warrants payable based on the Triggering Events that have occurred through March 31, 2015, as discussed in Note 9 – Stockholders’ Deficiency. During the three months ended March 31, 2015, the Company issued one-year warrants to purchase an aggregate of 251,927 of common stock at an estimated fair value of $10,353 to the former Beam members. The warrants had exercise prices ranging from $0.34 to $1.05 per share.

ACCRUED ISSUABLE EQUITY

Accrued issuable equity represents the value of an aggregate of 800,000 shares of common stock that had been earned as of March 31, 2015 by certain employees and directors of the Company but had not been issued. The shares were issued by the Company subsequent to March 31, 2015.

STOCK WARRANTS

See Note 6 – Notes Payable for details associated with the issuance of a warrant in connection with a note extension. See Note 7 – Fair Value Measurement for details associated with the issuances of warrants to the former members of Beam.

On February 25, 2015, the Company entered into an agreement with certain investors in the October 2013 financing whereby the investors were issued warrants to purchase 3,336,734 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.70 per share which vested immediately, expire five years from the date of issuance and contain weighted average anti-dilution and fundamental transaction provisions, as defined. These additional warrants represent the warrants the investors would have received as a result of the December 23, 2014 financing had they not previously surrendered their anti-dilution protection during 2014. The warrants, which were classified as derivative liabilities, had an aggregate fair value of $275,908, which was recognized immediately. Additionally, as a result of the December 23, 2014 financing, the exercise price of warrants to purchase an aggregate of 19,599,999 shares of common stock issued to the October 2013 and December 2013 investors was reduced to $0.70 per share. As the warrants are classified as derivative liabilities, the impact of the modification was included within change in fair value of warrant liabilities on the condensed consolidated statement of operations during the three months ended March 31, 2015.

LITIGATION AND DISPUTES

From time to time, the Company is a defendant or plaintiff in various legal actions that arise in the normal course of business.

350 GREEN, LLC

There have been five lawsuits filed against 350 Green by creditors of 350 Green regarding unpaid claims. These lawsuits relate solely to alleged pre-acquisition unpaid debts of 350 Green. Also, there are other unpaid creditors, aside from those noted above, that claim to be owed certain amounts for pre-acquisition work done on behalf of 350 Green solely, that potentially could file lawsuits at some point in the future.

On August 7, 2014, 350 Green received a copy of a complaint filed by Sheetz, a former vendor of 350 Green alleging breach of contract and unjust enrichment of $112,500. The complaint names 350 Green, 350 Holdings LLC and CCGI in separate breach of contract counts and names all three entities together in an unjust enrichment claim. CCGI and 350 Holdings will seek to be dismissed from the litigation, because, as the complaint is currently plead, there is no legal basis to hold CCGI or 350 Green liable for a contract to which they are not parties. The parties held a mediation conference on May 15, 2015 but no settlement was reached. The parties continue to negotiate a settlement.

Overview

Car Charging Group, Inc. (OTCPink: “CCGI”, “CarCharging” or “Company”) is the largest owner, operator, and provider of electric vehicle (“EV”) charging services. CarCharging offers both residential and commercial EV charging equipment, enabling EV drivers to easily recharge at numerous location types. Headquartered in Miami Beach, FL with offices in San Jose, CA, New York, NY, and Phoenix, AZ, CarCharging’s business model is designed to expand EV charging infrastructure availability.

CarCharging owns the Blink Network, the software that operates, maintains, and tracks all of the Blink EV charging stations and the associated charging data.

CarCharging offers various options to commercial and residential property owners for EV charging services. In our comprehensive and turnkey business model, CarCharging owns and operates the EV charging equipment; manages the installation, maintenance, and related services; and shares a portion of the EV charging revenue with the property owner. Alternatively, property partners can share in the equipment and installation expenses with CarCharging operating and managing the EV charging stations and providing connectivity to the Blink Network. For properties interested in purchasing and owning EV charging stations, CarCharging can also provide EV charging hardware, site recommendations, connection to the Blink Network, and management and maintenance services.

Sales

Our revenues are primarily derived from hardware sales, public EV charging services, government grants, state and federal rebates, and marketing incentives. EV charging fees are based either on an hourly rate, a per kilowatt-hour rate, or by session, and are calculated based on a variety of factors, including associated station costs and local electricity tariffs. We anticipate implementing charger occupancy fees and subscription plans for our Blink-owned public charging locations.

To generate leads and enter into additional strategic partnership agreements with property owners, we have utilized the services of independent contractors and in house personnel. We have found that by following this model, we are better able to stimulate growth, control cash-flow, and minimize costs. Accordingly, our independent contractors are able to close and maintain client relationships, as well as coordinate EV charging station installations and operations.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2015 Compared With Three Months Ended March 31, 2014

Revenues

We have generated charging service revenue of $389,785 related to installed EV charging stations for three months ended March 31, 2015 as compared to $255,659 in service fees for the three months ended March 31, 2014, an increase of $134,126, or 52%, which is primarily a result of the Company’s participation in a program sponsored by Nissan North America to provide free electric charging to purchasers of Nissan Leafs in certain markets in the United States commencing in July 2014. On April 2, 2015, Nissan North America notified the Company of the termination of the joint marketing agreement with the Company as a result of the Company’s material default of the agreement in 2015.

Grant revenue increased from $62,633 to $646,185 during the three months ended March 31, 2015, an increase of $583,552, or 932%. Grants, rebate and incentives, collectively “grant revenue” relating to equipment and the related installation are deferred and amortized in a manner consistent with the depreciation expense of the related assets over their useful lives. Grant revenue during the three months ended March 31, 2015 was primarily derived from our agreement with the Bay Area Air Quality Management District.

Equipment sales increased from $37,393 to $220,807 during the three months ended March 31, 2015, an increase of $183,414, or 491%. The increase was primarily due to sales of residential and commercial chargers.

During the three months ended March 31, 2015, other revenues were $34,524, which were comprised of network and transaction fees earned from our hosts. No such fees were in effect during the three months ended March 31, 2014.

Cost of Revenues

Cost of revenues primarily consists of depreciation of installed charging stations, amortization of the Blink Network infrastructure, the cost of charging station goods and related services sold, electricity reimbursements and revenue share payments to hosts when we are the primary obligor in the revenue share arrangement. Cost of revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2015 were $1,008,074 as compared to $1,312,201 for the three months ended March 31, 2014, a decrease of $304,127, or 23%, primarily due to a reduction in depreciation and amortization expenses resulting from the impairment of certain fixed assets in 2014.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses consist of selling, marketing, advertising, payroll, administrative, finance and professional expenses.

Compensation expense increased by $963,927, or 53%, from $1,820,727 for the three months ended March 31, 2014 to $2,784,654 for the three months ended March 31, 2015. The increase was primarily attributable to share-based payments with a fair value of $875,000 made to our newly-appointed Chief Operating Officer during the three months ended March 31, 2015 under the terms of an employment agreement, as well as increased payroll expenses of approximately $161,000 due to increased salaries and headcount as compared to the prior period.

Other operating expenses consist primarily of rent, travel and IT expenses. Other operating expenses decreased by $86,293, or 21%, from $402,863 for the three months ended March 31, 2014 to $316,570 for the three months ended March 31, 2015. The decrease was primarily attributable to reduced sales taxes and personal property taxes as compared to the prior period.

General and administrative expenses decreased by $253,554, or 26%, from $965,634 for the three months ended March 31, 2014 to $712,080 for the three months ended March 31, 2015. The decrease was primarily as a result of a reduction in amortization expense of approximately $249,000 resulting from the impairment of certain intangible assets in 2014.

Other (Expense) Income

Other (expense) income decreased by $438,779, or 153%, from $286,823 for the three months ended March 31, 2014 to $(151,956) for the three months ended March 31, 2015. The increase was attributable to:

	●	A gain from the change in the fair value of warrant liabilities of $598,009 during the three months ended March 31, 2015, as compared to $284,365 during the three months ended March 31, 2015, an increase of $882,782.

	●	An increase in the gain on settlement of accounts payable of $3,711 as compared to the prior period.

	●	Non-compliance penalty expense of $463,500 during the three months ended March 31, 2015 as a result of our delinquent regular SEC filings.

	●	Inducement expense of $275,908 during the three months ended March 31, 2015 associated with the issuance of warrants to purchase 3,336,734 shares of common stock which represent the warrants the investors would have received as a result of the December 23, 2014 financing had they not previously surrendered their anti-dilution protection during 2014.

	●	Amortization of debt discount of $41,998 during the three months ended March 31, 2015 associated with warrants issued in connection with convertible debt.

	●	A decrease in net interest expense of $25,272 as compared to the prior period.

Net Loss

Our net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2015 decreased by $176,884, or 5%, to $3,682,033 as compared to $3,858,917 for the three months ended March 31, 2014. The decrease was primarily attributable to an increase in gross profit of $1,239,743, partially offset by an increase in operating expenses of $624,080 and increase in other expenses of $438,779. Our net loss attributable to common shareholders for the three months ended March 31, 2015 increased by $78,853, or 2%, from $3,858,917 to $3,937,770 for the aforementioned reasons and due to dividends attributable to Series C Convertible Preferred shareholders of $202,000.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

During the three months ended March 31, 2015, we financed our activities from proceeds derived from sales of our capital stock. A significant portion of the funds raised from the sale of capital stock have been used to cover working capital needs and personnel, office expenses and various consulting and professional fees.

For the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, we used cash of $2,621,345 and $2,095,061 from operations respectively. Our cash use for the three months ended March 31, 2015 was primarily attributable to our net loss of $3,682,033, adjusted for net non-cash expenses in the aggregate amount of $1,877,022, plus $816,334 of net cash used to fund changes in the levels of operating assets and liabilities. Our cash use for the three months ended March 31, 2014 was primarily attributable to our net loss of $3,858,917, adjusted for net non-cash expenses in the aggregate amount of $1,261,828, partially offset by $502,028 of net cash provided by changes in the levels of operating assets and liabilities. During the three months ended March 31, 2015, cash used for investing was $129,573, of which $18,608 was for the purchase of office and computer equipment and $110,965 was paid to the ECOtality Estate Creditor’s Committee. Net cash outflows for investing activities were $359,788 for the three months ended March 31, 2014 of which $222,623 was used for purchases of electric vehicle charging stations and $137,165 was used for the purchase of an automobile. Cash provided by financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2015 was $1,446,727 of which $1,500,000 was due to the release of funds from escrow in connection with a prior sale of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock, partially offset by the repayment of notes payable of $53,273. Cash flows provided by financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2014 totaled $478,163 of which $450,046 was from the purchase of Certificates of Deposit to serve as collateral for a letter of credit issued by the bank to finance the purchase of inventory from a foreign vendor and the repayment of notes of $28,117.

Through March 31, 2015, the Company has incurred an accumulated deficit since inception of $68,473,901. At March 31, 2015, the Company had a cash balance and working capital deficit of $322,871 and $16,526,099, respectively. The Company has incurred additional losses subsequent to March 31, 2015. The Company implemented cost reduction measures in December 2014 to reduce employee headcount and other operating expenditures.

The Company expects that through the next 12 months from the date of this filing, it will require external funding to sustain operations and to follow through on the execution of its business plan. There can be no assurance that the Company’s plans will materialize and/or that the Company will be successful in its efforts to obtain the funding to cover working capital shortfalls. Given these conditions, there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern and its future is contingent upon its ability to secure the levels of debt or equity capital it needs to meet its cash requirements. In addition, the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern must be considered in light of the problems, expenses and complications frequently encountered by entrants into established markets, the competitive environment in which the Company operates and the current capital raising environment.

Since inception, the Company’s operations have primarily been funded through proceeds from equity and debt financings. Although management believes that the Company has access to capital resources, there are currently no commitments in place for new financing at this time, and there is no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain funds on commercially acceptable terms, if at all.

The Company intends to raise additional funds during the next twelve months. The additional capital raised would be used to fund the Company’s operations. The current level of cash and operating margins is insufficient to cover the existing fixed and variable obligations of the Company, so increased revenue performance and the addition of capital through issuances of securities are critical to the Company’s success. Should the Company not be able to raise additional debt or equity capital through a private placement or some other financing source, the Company would take one or more of the following actions to conserve cash: further reductions in employee headcount, reduction in base salaries to senior executives and employees, and other cost reduction measures. Assuming that the Company is successful in its growth plans and development efforts, the Company believes that it will be able to raise additional debt or equity capital. There is no guarantee that the Company will be able to raise such additional funds on acceptable terms, if at all.

We have not been able to complete the audit of 350 Green LLC and Blink Network LLC for the two calendar years prior to their respective acquisitions. Rule 505 and 506 of Regulation D requires that all non-accredited investors be provided with certain disclosure documents, including the audited financial statements for the prior two fiscal years. In the event that we will not be able to complete the audits for these two entities, we will not be able to raise any additional funds from non-accredited investors until such time that the audits for the two prior fiscal years are completed.

These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that might be necessary should it be unable to continue as a going concern.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements, financings, or other relationships with unconsolidated entities or other persons, also known as “special purpose entities” (SPEs).

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

There are no material changes from the critical accounting policies set forth in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” of our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 8, 2015. Please refer to that document for disclosures regarding the critical accounting policies related to our business.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We are not required to provide the information required by this Item because we are a smaller reporting company.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of 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 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, 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 and chief financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable and not absolute assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In reaching a reasonable level of assurance, management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. In addition, the design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, a control may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or the degree of compliance with policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

As required by the SEC Rule 13a-15(b), we carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on the foregoing, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at the reasonable assurance level due to the material weaknesses described below.

To address these material weaknesses, management engaged financial consultants, performed additional analyses and other procedures to ensure that the financial statements included herein fairly present, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.

The management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (“ICFR”) for the Company. Our internal control system was designed to, in general, provide reasonable assurance to the Company’s management and board regarding the preparation and fair presentation of published financial statements, but because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Our management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2014. The framework used by management in making that assessment was the criteria set forth in the document entitled “2013 Internal Control – Integrated Framework” issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on that assessment, management concluded that, during the period covered by this report, such internal controls and procedures were not effective as of December 31, 2014 and that material weaknesses in ICFR existed as more fully described below.

A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, within the meaning of Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCOAB”) Audit Standard No. 5, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Management has identified the following material weaknesses which have caused management to conclude that as of December 31, 2014 our internal controls over financial reporting were not effective at the reasonable assurance level:

	1.	We do not have written documentation of our internal control policies and procedures. Written documentation of key internal controls over financial reporting is a requirement of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act which is applicable to us for the year ended December 31, 2014. Management evaluated the impact of our failure to have written documentation of our internal controls and procedures on our assessment of our disclosure controls and procedures and has concluded that the control deficiency that resulted represented a material weakness.

	2.	We do not have sufficient resources in our accounting function, which restricts the Company’s ability to gather, analyze and properly review information related to financial reporting in a timely manner. In addition, due to our size and nature, segregation of all conflicting duties may not always be possible and may not be economically feasible. However, to the extent possible, the initiation of transactions, the custody of assets and the recording of transactions should be performed by separate individuals. Management evaluated the impact of our failure to have segregation of duties on our assessment of our disclosure controls and procedures and has concluded that the control deficiency that resulted represented a material weakness.

	3.	We do not have personnel with sufficient experience with United States generally accepted accounting principles to address complex transactions.

	4.	We have inadequate controls to ensure that information necessary to properly record transactions is adequately communicated on a timely basis from non-financial personnel to those responsible for financial reporting. Management evaluated the impact of the lack of timely communication between non–financial personnel and financial personnel on our assessment of our reporting controls and procedures and has concluded that the control deficiency represented a material weakness.

	5.	We have determined that oversight over our external financial reporting and internal control over our financial reporting by our audit committee is ineffective. The audit committee has not provided adequate review of the Company’s SEC’s filings and condensed consolidated financial statements and has not provided adequate supervision and review of the Company’s accounting personnel or oversight of the independent registered accounting firm’s audit of the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statement.

We have taken steps to remediate some of the weaknesses described above, including by engaging a financing consultant with expertise in accounting for complex transactions. We intend to continue to address these weaknesses as resources permit.

Notwithstanding the assessment that our ICFR was not effective and that there are material weaknesses as identified herein, we believe that our condensed consolidated financial statements contained in this Quarterly Report fairly present our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods covered thereby in all material respects.

Our annual report did not include an attestation report of the Company’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s registered public accounting firm as we are a smaller reporting company and are not required to provide the report.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Our internal control over financial reporting has not changed during the fiscal quarter covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

350 Green, LLC

There have been five lawsuits filed by creditors of 350 Green regarding unpaid claims. These lawsuits relate solely to alleged pre-acquisition unpaid debts of 350 Green. Also, there are other unpaid creditors, aside from those noted above, that claim to be owed certain amounts for pre-acquisition work done on behalf of 350 Green, and only 350 Green, that potentially could file lawsuits at some point in the future. On April 24, 2014, the Company entered into an agreement with a firm to administer the financial affairs of 350 Green LLC under a Trust Mortgage resulting in all assets and liabilities of 350 Green LLC being transferred to the Trust.

On September 9, 2015, the United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit of Chicago, Illinois affirmed the ruling of the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois in the matter of JNS Power & Control Systems, Inc. (“JNS”) v. 350 Green, LLC in favor of JNS, which affirmed the sale of certain assets by 350 Green to JNS and the assumption of certain 350 Green liabilities by JNS.

General Litigation

From time to time, the Company is a defendant or plaintiff in various legal actions that arise in the normal course of business. The Company records legal costs associated with loss contingencies as incurred and has accrued for all probable and estimable settlements.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS.

There have been no material changes to the risk factors discussed in Item 1A. Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K which was filed with the SEC on December 8, 2015.

ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS.

On February 3, 2015, the Company issued 50,000 fully vested shares of the Company’s common stock to a consultant to advise the Company about corporate governance matters.

On February 20, 2015, the Company renegotiated the terms of the $200,000 convertible note such that the due date was extended to March 31, 2015. In connection with the extension, the Company issued the investor an immediately vested five-year warrant to purchase 400,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $1.00 per share.

On February 10, 2015, the Company issued 20,414 shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock and on March 31, 2015, the Company issued the remaining 283 shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock. These issuances were made as a settlement payment of accrued registration rights. See Note 5- Accrued Expenses: Registration Rights Penalty.

On March 24, 2015, the Company entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Ira Feintuch to serve as the Company’s Chief Operating Officer whereby Mr. Feintuch was immediately issued 750 shares of Series C preferred stock and 500,000 shares of Series A preferred stock. See Note 10- Commitments and Contingencies: Employment Agreement.

These shares were issued in reliance on the exemption under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1934, as amended (the “Securities Act”). These shares of our common stock qualified for exemption under Section 4(2) since the issuance shares by us did not involve a public offering. In addition, the recipients had the necessary intent as required by Section 4(2) since they agreed to and received share certificates bearing a legend stating that such shares are restricted pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act. This restriction ensures that these shares would not be immediately redistributed into the market and therefore not be part of a “public offering.” Based on an analysis of the above factors, we have met the requirements to qualify for exemption under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act for this transaction.
