PIONEER POWER SOLUTIONS, INC.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
March 31, 2022 (Unaudited)
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Overview
Pioneer Power Solutions, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries (referred to herein as the “Company,” “Pioneer,” “Pioneer Power,” “we,” “our” and “us”) design, manufacture, integrate, refurbish, service, distribute and sell electric power systems, distributed energy resources, power generation equipment and mobile electric vehicle (“EV”) charging solutions. Our products and services are sold to a broad range of customers in the utility, industrial and commercial markets. Our customers include, but are not limited to, electric, gas and water utilities, data center developers and owners, EV charging infrastructure developers and owners, and distributed energy developers. The Company is headquartered in Fort Lee, New Jersey and operates from three (
We have two reportable segments as defined in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 31, 2022: Transmission and Distribution Solutions (“T&D Solutions”) and Critical Power Solutions (“Critical Power”).
Presentation
The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared pursuant to the rules of the SEC and reflect the accounts of the Company as of March 31, 2022. Certain information and footnote disclosures, normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”), have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations. We believe that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information presented not misleading to the reader. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to fairly state the financial position, results of operations and cash flows with respect to the interim consolidated financial statements have been included. The results of operations for the interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results for the entire fiscal year. The year-end balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP for a year-end balance sheet.
All dollar amounts (except share and per share data) presented in the notes
to our unaudited interim consolidated financial statements are stated in thousands of dollars, unless otherwise noted. Amounts may not
foot due to rounding. ASC 740-270 requires the use of an estimated annual effective tax rate to compute the tax provision during an interim
period unless certain exceptions are met. We have used a discrete-period computation method to calculate taxes for the fiscal three-month
period ended March 31, 2022. Due to projected operating losses for the year, the Company anticipates that its annual effective tax rate
will be
These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Pioneer and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the risk factors under the heading “Part II - Item 1A. Risk Factors” and the risk factors and the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto of the Company and its subsidiaries included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.
Liquidity
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. As shown in the accompanying financial statements as of the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company had $
We have met our cash needs through a combination of cash flows from operating activities and bank borrowings, the completion of the Equity Transaction (as defined herein), proceeds from the sale of the CleanSpark Common Stock and warrants to purchase CleanSpark Common Stock, proceeds from insurance and funding from the Payroll Protection Program. Our cash requirements historically were generally for operating activities, debt repayment, capital improvements and acquisitions. We expect to meet our cash needs with our working capital and cash flows from our operating activities. We expect our cash requirements to be generally for operating activities, product development and capital improvements. The Company expects that its current cash balance is sufficient to fund operations for the next twelve months.

On
During the first quarter of 2021, the Company executed a cash collateral security agreement with a commercial bank, which agreement required us to pledge cash collateral as security for all unpaid reimbursement obligations owing to the commercial bank for an irrevocable standby letter of credit in the amount of $
In November 2016, the FASB issued amended guidance to ASU No. 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows - Restricted Cash (Topic 230), which requires the statement of cash flows to explain the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash and that restricted cash be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows.
The following table provides a reconciliation of cash and restricted cash reported within the consolidated balance sheets that sum to the total of the same such amounts shown in the consolidated statement of cash flows:

COVID-19
On January 30, 2020, the World Health Organization (“WHO”) announced a global health emergency because of a new strain of coronavirus originating in Wuhan, China and the risks to the international community as the virus spreads globally beyond its point of origin. In March 2020, the WHO classified the COVID-19 outbreak as a pandemic (the “COVID-19 pandemic”), based on the rapid increase in exposure globally.
The full impact of the COVID-19 pandemic continues to evolve as the date of this report. As such, it continues to be uncertain as to the full magnitude that the pandemic will have on the Company’s financial condition, liquidity, and future results of operations. The Company has been able to operate substantially at capacity during the COVID-19 pandemic. Notwithstanding, the Company has been able to operate substantially at capacity during the COVID-19 pandemic. Management is actively monitoring the global situation on its financial condition, liquidity, operations, suppliers, industry, and workforce. Given the daily evolution of the COVID-19 pandemic and the global responses to contain its spread, the Company is not able to estimate the full effects of the COVID-19 pandemic at this time, however, if the pandemic continues, it may continue to have an adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition, or liquidity.
On March 27, 2020, then President Trump signed into law the “Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act” (the “CARES Act”). The CARES Act, among other things, appropriates funds for the SBA Paycheck Protection Program loans that are forgivable in certain situations to promote continued employment. On April 13, 2020, after having determined that it met the qualifications for this loan program due to the impact that COVID-19 would have on our financial condition, results of operations, and/or liquidity and applying for relief, the Company received a loan under the SBA Paycheck Protection Program (the “PPP Loan”) in the amount of $

Under the terms of the PPP Loan, the Company was eligible for full or partial loan forgiveness. During the first quarter of 2021, the Company received full forgiveness of the PPP Loan and recognized a $
Reclassification
The following items have been reclassified in the 2021 financial statements:
The unaudited consolidated statements of cash flows contain a reclassification of the gain on the extinguishment and forgiveness of the PPP Loan from financing activities to operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2021. Additionally, principal repayments of financing leases and the reduction in operating leases have been reclassified and presented in the applicable cash flow activity for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021. The inventories footnote contains a reclassification of the provision for excess and obsolete inventory and reductions to net realizable value to the applicable inventory classification at December 31, 2021.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The Company’s significant accounting policies are described in Note 2 to the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. There have been no significant changes in the Company’s accounting policies during the first quarter of 2022.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
There have been no recent accounting pronouncements not yet adopted by the Company which would have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instrument. In June 2016, the FASB issued amended guidance to ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments that changes the impairment model for most financial assets and certain other instruments. For trade and other receivables, held-to-maturity debt securities, loans and other instruments, entities will be required to use a new forward-looking “expected loss” model that will replace today’s “incurred loss” model and generally will result in the earlier recognition of allowances for losses. For available-for-sale debt securities with unrealized losses, entities will measure credit losses in a manner similar to current practice, except that the losses will be recognized as an allowance. This amended guidance for small reporting companies is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Entities will apply the standard’s provisions as a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the first effective reporting period. The Company does not expect that the amended guidance will have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
3. REVENUES
Nature of our products and services
Our principal products and services include electric power systems, distributed energy resources, power generation equipment and mobile EV charging solutions.
Products
Our T&D Solutions business provides electric power systems and distributed energy resources that help customers effectively and efficiently protect, control, transfer, monitor and manage their electric energy requirements.
Our Critical Power business provides customers with our suite of mobile E-BOOST electric vehicle charging solutions and power generation equipment.
Services
Power generation systems represent considerable investments that require proper maintenance and service in order to operate reliably during a time of emergency. Our power maintenance programs provide preventative maintenance, repair and support service for our customers’ power generation systems.
Our principal source of revenue is derived from sales of products and fees for services. We measure revenue based upon the consideration specified in the customer arrangement, and revenue is recognized when the performance obligations in the customer arrangement are satisfied. A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct product or service to the customer. The transaction price of a contract is allocated to each distinct performance obligation and recognized as revenue when or as, the customer receives the benefit of the performance obligation. Customers typically receive the benefit of our products when the risk of loss or control for the product transfers to the customer and for services as they are performed. Under ASC 606, revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of promised products or services in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to receive in exchange for those products or services. To achieve this core principal, the Company applies the following five steps:
7
1) Identify the contract with a customer
A contract with a customer exists when (i) the Company enters into an enforceable contract with a customer that defines each party’s rights regarding the products or services to be transferred and identifies the payment terms related to these products or services, (ii) the contract has commercial substance and, (iii) the Company determines that collection of substantially all consideration for products or services that are transferred is probable based on the customer’s intent and ability to pay the promised consideration. The Company applies judgment in determining the customer’s ability and intention to pay, which is based on a variety of factors including the customer’s historical payment experience or, in the case of a new customer, published credit and financial information pertaining to the customer.
2) Identify the performance obligations in the contract
Performance obligations promised in a contract are identified based on the products or services that will be transferred to the customer that are both capable of being distinct, whereby the customer can benefit from the product or service either on its own or together with other resources that are readily available from third parties or from the Company, and are distinct in the context of the contract, whereby the transfer of the products or services is separately identifiable from other promises in the contract. To the extent a contract includes multiple promised products or services, the Company must apply judgment to determine whether promised products or services are capable of being distinct and distinct in the context of the contract. If these criteria are not met the promised products or services are accounted for as a combined performance obligation.
3) Determine the transaction price
The transaction price is determined based on the consideration to which the Company will be entitled in exchange for transferring products or services to the customer. The customer payments are generally due in 30 days.
4) Allocate the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract
If the contract contains a single performance obligation, the entire transaction price is allocated to the single performance obligation. Contracts that contain multiple performance obligations require an allocation of the transaction price to each performance obligation based on a relative standalone selling price basis or cost of the product or service. The Company determines standalone selling price based on the price at which the performance obligation is sold separately. If the standalone selling price is not observable through past transactions, the Company estimates the standalone selling price taking into account available information such as market conditions and internally approved pricing guidelines related to the performance obligations.
5) Recognize revenue when or as the Company satisfies a performance obligation
The Company satisfies performance obligations either over time or at a point in time. Revenue is recognized at the time the related performance obligation is satisfied by transferring a promised product or service to a customer.
Revenue from the sale of our products is predominantly recognized at a point in time. Revenues are recognized at the point in time that the customer obtains control of the good, which is when it has taken title to the products and has assumed the risks and rewards of ownership specified in the purchase order or sales agreement. Certain sales of highly customized large equipment are recognized over time when such equipment has no alternative use and the Company has an enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date. Revenue for such agreements is recognized under the input method based on cost incurred relative to the estimated cost expected to be consumed to complete the project.

Return of a product requires that the buyer obtain permission in writing from the Company. When the buyer requests authorization to return material for reasons of their own, the buyer will be charged for placing the returned goods in saleable condition, restocking charges and for any outgoing and incoming transportation paid by the Company. The Company warrants title to the products, and also warrants the products on date of shipment to the buyer, to be of the kind and quality described in the contract, merchantable, and free of defects in workmanship and material. Returns and warranties during three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 were insignificant.

11. BUSINESS SEGMENT AND GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION
The Company follows ASC 280 - Segment Reporting in determining its reportable segments. The Company considered the way its management team, most notably its chief operating decision maker, makes operating decisions and assesses performance and considered which components of the Company’s enterprise have discrete financial information available. As the Company makes decisions using a manufactured products vs. distributed products and services group focus, its analysis resulted in
The T&D Solutions segment is involved in the design, manufacture and distribution of switchgear used primarily by large industrial and commercial operations to manage their electrical power distribution needs. The Critical Power segment provides power generation equipment and aftermarket field-services primarily to help customers ensure smooth, uninterrupted power to operations during times of emergency.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the accompanying consolidated interim financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 31, 2022.
Unless the context requires otherwise, references in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to the “Company,” “Pioneer,” “we,” “our” and “us” refer to Pioneer Power Solutions, Inc. and its subsidiaries.
Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains “forward-looking statements,” which include information relating to future events, future financial performance, financial projections, strategies, expectations, competitive environment and regulation. Words such as “may,” “should,” “could,” “would,” “predicts,” “potential,” “continue,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “future,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,” “estimates,” and similar expressions, as well as statements in future tense, identify forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements should not be read as a guarantee of future performance or results and may not be accurate indications of when such performance or results will be achieved. Forward-looking statements are based on information we have when those statements are made or management’s good faith belief as of that time with respect to future events, and are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual performance or results to differ materially from those expressed in or suggested by the forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause such differences include, but are not limited to:
|
|
● |
General economic conditions and their effect on demand for electrical equipment, particularly in the commercial construction market, but also in the power generation, industrial production, data center, oil and gas, marine and infrastructure industries. |
|
|
● |
The effects of fluctuations in sales on our business, revenues, expenses, net income (loss), income (loss) per share, margins and profitability. |
|
|
● |
Many of our competitors are better established and have significantly greater resources and may subsidize their competitive offerings with other products and services, which may make it difficult for us to attract and retain customers. |
|
|
● |
The potential loss or departure of key personnel, including Nathan J. Mazurek, our chairman, president and chief executive officer. |
|
|
● |
Our ability to generate internal growth, maintain market acceptance of our existing products and gain acceptance for our new products. |
|
|
● |
Unanticipated increases in raw material prices or disruptions in supply could increase production costs and adversely affect our profitability. |
|
|
● |
Our ability to realize revenue reported in our backlog. |
|
|
● |
Operating margin risk due to competitive pricing and operating efficiencies, supply chain risk, material, labor or overhead cost increases, interest rate risk and commodity risk. |
|
|
● |
Strikes or labor disputes with our employees may adversely affect our ability to conduct our business. |
|
|
● |
The impact of geopolitical activity on the economy, changes in government regulations such as income taxes, climate control initiatives, the timing or strength of an economic recovery in our markets and our ability to access capital markets. |
|
|
● |
Future sales of large blocks of our common stock may adversely impact our stock price. |
|
|
● |
The liquidity and trading volume of our common stock. |
|
|
● |
Our business could be adversely affected by an outbreak of disease, epidemic or pandemic, such as the global coronavirus pandemic, or similar public threat, or fear of such an event. |
The foregoing does not represent an exhaustive list of matters that may be covered by the forward-looking statements contained herein or risk factors that we are faced with that may cause our actual results to differ from those anticipated in our forward-looking statements. Moreover, new risks regularly emerge, and it is not possible for us to predict or articulate all risks we face, nor can we assess the impact of all risks on our business or the extent to which any risk, or combination of risks, may cause actual results to differ from those contained in any forward-looking statements. Except to the extent required by applicable laws or rules, we undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. You should review carefully the risks and uncertainties described under the heading “Part II - Item 1A. Risk Factors” in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and “Part I - Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 for a discussion of the foregoing and other risks that relate to our business and investing in shares of our common stock.

Backlog
Our backlog is based on firm orders from our customers expected to be delivered in the future, most of which is expected to occur during the next twelve months. Backlog may vary significantly from reporting period to reporting period due to the timing of customer commitments. Backlog reflects the amount of revenue we expect to realize upon the shipment of customer orders for our products that are not yet complete or for which work has not yet begun.
The following table represents the progression of our backlog, by reporting segment, as of the end of the last five quarters:

T&D Solutions. For the three months ended March 31, 2022, our gross margin percentage increased by 23.3%, from (12.2)% to 11.1%, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2021. This increase was primarily due to increased sales of our power systems and switchgear equipment, favorable sales mix and improved productivity from our manufacturing facility.
Critical Power. For the three months ended March 31, 2022, our gross margin increased by 3.4% to 18.9%, from 15.5% for the three months ended March 31, 2021, predominately due to a reduction in overhead costs, the acceptance of price increases from our customers and the shipment of our first E-BOOST order, which generated a higher gross margin as compared to shipments of our power generation equipment.

T&D Solutions. Operating income from our T&D Solutions segment increased by $481, or 109.6%, during the three months ended March 31, 2022, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2021, primarily due an increase in sales of our e-Bloc power systems and switchgear, favorable sales mix and improved productivity from our manufacturing facility.
Critical Power. Operating loss for the Critical Power segment increased by $71, or 84.5% during the three months ended March 31, 2022, primarily due to product development and promotion fees recording during the three months ended March 31, 2022, as compared to no product development or promotion fees recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2021.
General Corporate Expense. Our general corporate expenses consist primarily of executive management, corporate accounting and human resources personnel, corporate office expenses, financing and corporate development activities, payroll and benefits administration, treasury, tax compliance, legal, stock-based compensation, public reporting costs and costs not specifically allocated to reportable business segments.
During the three months ended March 31, 2022, our unallocated corporate overhead expense increased by $175, or 30.0%, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2021, primarily due to an increase in stock-based compensation and payroll related expenses, professional fees and business travel related costs.
Non-Operating (Income) Expense
Interest Income. For the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, we had interest income of $101 and $93, respectively. We generate the majority of our interest income from the Seller Notes received from the sale of the transformer business units in August 2019 and our cash on hand.
Other Expense (Income). Other expense (income) in the unaudited interim consolidated statements of operations reports certain gains and losses associated with activities not directly related to our core operations. For the three months ended March 31, 2022, other expense was $11, as compared to other income of $1.3 million during the three months ended March 31, 2021.
On March 27, 2020, then President Trump signed into law the “Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act.” The CARES Act, among other things, appropriates funds for the SBA Paycheck Protection Program loans that are forgivable in certain situations to promote continued employment. On April 13, 2020 after having determined that it met the qualifications for this loan program due to the impact that COVID-19 would have on our financial condition, results of operations, and/or liquidity and applying for relief, the Company received a loan under the SBA Paycheck Protection Program in the amount of $1.4 million. The Company made this assertion in good faith based upon all available guidance and accounted for the PPP Loan as a debt instrument in accordance with FASB ASC 470, Debt. The Company used the proceeds from the PPP Loan to retain employees, maintain payroll and make lease, rent and utility payments.
Under the terms of the PPP Loan, the Company was eligible for full or partial loan forgiveness. The Company received full forgiveness of the PPP Loan during the three months ended March 31, 2021 and recognized a $1.4 million gain on extinguishment and forgiveness of debt in other income.
20
Income Tax Expense (Benefit). Our effective income tax rate was (0.9)% for the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to (6.4)% during the three months ended March 31, 2021, as set forth below:

Our net loss per basic and diluted share for the three months ended March 31, 2022 was $0.08, as compared to net income per basic and diluted share of $0.04 for the three months ended March 31, 2021.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
General. At March 31, 2022, we had $13.1 million of cash on hand generated primarily from the sale of common stock under the At The Market Sale Agreement (the “ATM Program”) and cash flows from operating activities. We have met our cash needs through a combination of cash flows from operating activities and bank borrowings, the completion of the Equity Transaction, proceeds from the sale of the CleanSpark Common Stock and warrants to purchase CleanSpark Common Stock, proceeds from insurance and funding from the Payroll Protection Program. Our cash requirements historically were generally for operating activities, debt repayment, capital improvements and acquisitions.
The following table provides a reconciliation of cash and restricted cash reported within the consolidated balance sheets that sum to the total of the same such amounts shown in the unaudited interim consolidated statement of cash flows:

During the first quarter of 2021, the Company executed a cash collateral security agreement with a commercial bank, which agreement required us to pledge cash collateral as security for all unpaid reimbursement obligations owing to the commercial bank for an irrevocable standby letter of credit in the amount of $1.8 million. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, we amended our agreement with the commercial bank to decrease the required amount of cash collateral by $1.3 million. As a result of executing the cash collateral security agreement and amendment, we recognized approximately $505 of restricted cash within the consolidated balance sheet at March 31, 2022.
On January 30, 2020, the World Health Organization (“WHO”) announced a global health emergency because of a new strain of coronavirus originating in Wuhan, China and the risks to the international community as the virus spreads globally beyond its point of origin. In March 2020, the WHO classified the COVID-19 outbreak as a pandemic (the “COVID-19 pandemic”), based on the rapid increase in exposure globally.
The full impact of the COVID-19 pandemic continues to evolve as the date of this report. As such, it continues to be uncertain as to the full magnitude that the pandemic will have on the Company’s financial condition, liquidity, and future results of operations. The Company has been able to operate substantially at capacity during the COVID-19 pandemic. Notwithstanding, the Company has been able to operate substantially at capacity during the COVID-19 pandemic. Management is actively monitoring the global situation on its financial condition, liquidity, operations, suppliers, industry, and workforce. Given the daily evolution of the COVID-19 pandemic and the global responses to contain its spread, the Company is not able to estimate the full effects of the COVID-19 pandemic at this time, however, if the pandemic continues, it may continue to have an adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition, or liquidity.
On March 27, 2020, then President Trump signed into law the “Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act” (the “CARES Act”) The CARES Act, among other things, appropriates funds for the SBA Paycheck Protection Program loans that are forgivable in certain situations to promote continued employment. On April 13, 2020, after having determined that it met the qualifications for this loan program due to the impact that COVID-19 would have on our financial condition, results of operations, and/or liquidity and applying for relief, the Company received a loan under the SBA Paycheck Protection Program (the “PPP Loan”) in the amount of $1.4 million. The Company accounted for the PPP Loan as a debt instrument in accordance with FASB ASC 470, Debt.
21
Under the terms of the PPP Loan, the Company was eligible for full or partial loan forgiveness. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Company received full forgiveness of the PPP Loan and recognized a $1.4 million gain on extinguishment and forgiveness of debt as other income in the audited consolidated statements of operations.
Cash Provided by/ (Used in) Operating Activities. Cash provided by our operating activities was $2.1 million during the three months ended March 31, 2022, as compared to cash used in our operating activities of $941 during the three months ended March 31, 2021. The increase in cash provided by operating activities is primarily due to working capital fluctuations and a one-time $1.4 million gain on the extinguishment and forgiveness of the PPP Loan recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2021.
Cash Used in Investing Activities. Cash used in investing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2022 was $112, as compared to no cash used in investing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2021. Additions to property and equipment during the three months ended March 31, 2022 were $112, as compared to no additions during the three months ended March 31, 2021.
Cash Used in Financing Activities. Cash used in our financing activities was $31 during the three months ended March 31, 2022, as compared to $118 during the three months ended March 31, 2021. The primary use of cash in financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 was repayments of financing leases.
Working Capital. As of March 31, 2022, we had working capital of $17.4 million, including $13.1 million of cash and $505 of restricted cash, compared to working capital of $18.6 million, including $9.9 million of cash and $1.8 million of restricted cash at December 31, 2021.
Assessment of Liquidity. At March 31, 2022, we had $13.1 million of cash on hand generated primarily from cash flows from operating activities during the three months ended March 31, 2022 and the sale of common stock under the ATM Program during the year ended December 31, 2021. We have met our cash needs through a combination of cash flows from operating activities and bank borrowings, the completion of the Equity Transaction, proceeds from the sale of the CleanSpark Common Stock and warrants to purchase CleanSpark Common Stock, proceeds from insurance and funding from the Payroll Protection Program. Our cash requirements historically were generally for operating activities, debt repayment, capital improvements and acquisitions.
On June 1, 2021, our board of directors declared a special cash dividend of $0.12 per common share, payable to shareholders of record as of June 22, 2021, to be paid on July 7, 2021. The cash dividends were paid in July of 2021 and equaled $0.12 per share on the $0.001 par value common stock resulting in an aggregate distribution of approximately $1.0 million representing a capital repayment paid from APIC.
On November 8, 2021, we sold 888,500 shares of common stock under the ATM Program, for total gross proceeds of approximately $9.0 million, at an average price of $10.1288 per share. We incurred approximately $273 of costs related to the common shares issued (including a placement fee of 3.0%, or approximately $270, to H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC), resulting in net proceeds of approximately $8.7 million.
We expect to meet our cash needs with our working capital and cash flows from our operating activities. We expect our cash requirements to be generally for operating activities, capital improvements and product development. We expect that our cash balance is sufficient to fund operations for the next twelve months.
As of March 31, 2022, we had no off-balance sheet transactions, arrangements, obligations (including contingent obligations), or other relationships with unconsolidated entities or other persons that had, or that may have, a material effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.
Capital Expenditures
The Company had $112 of additions to property and equipment during the three months ended March 31, 2022, as compared to no additions to property and equipment during the three months ended March 31, 2021.
Known Trends, Events, Uncertainties and Factors That May Affect Future Operations
We believe that our future operating results will continue to be subject to quarterly variations based upon a wide variety of factors, including the cyclical nature of the electrical equipment industry and the markets for our products and services. Our operating results could also be impacted by changing customer requirements and exposure to fluctuations in prices of important raw supplies, such as copper, steel and aluminum. We have various insurance policies, including cybersecurity, covering risks in amounts that we consider adequate. In addition to these measures, we attempt to recover other cost increases through improvements to our manufacturing efficiency and through increases in prices where competitively feasible. Lastly, other economic conditions we cannot foresee may affect customer demand. The impact of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, including the Omicron variant of COVID-19, which appears to be the most transmissible variant to-date, and the subvariant, BA.2, is currently indeterminable and rapidly evolving, and has affected and may continue to affect our operations and the global economy. In addition, the consequences of the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine, including related sanctions and countermeasures, are difficult to predict, and could adversely impact geopolitical and macroeconomic conditions, the global economy, and contribute to increased market volatility, which may in turn adversely affect our business and operations. We predominately sell to customers in the industrial production and commercial construction markets. Accordingly, changes in the condition of any of our customers may have a greater impact than if our sales were more evenly distributed between different end markets. For a further discussion of factors that may affect future operating results see the sections entitled “Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and “Part I - Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Management’s Conclusions Regarding Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our “disclosure controls and procedures” (“Disclosure Controls”), as defined by Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), as of March 31, 2022 (the “Evaluation Date”), the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. There are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any system of disclosure controls and procedures. As of March 31, 2022, based on the evaluation of these disclosure controls and procedures, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.

Management believes that the condensed consolidated financial statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q fairly present, in all material respects, the Company’s financial condition as of the Evaluation Date, and results of its operations and cash flows for the Evaluation Date, in conformity with U.S. GAAP.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended March 31, 2022 that materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
