Overview We are a global provider of photovoltaic (PV) and electric vehicle (EV) solutions for business, residential, government and utility customers and investors. We develop solar PV projects which are either sold to third party operators or owned and operated by us for selling of electricity to the grid in multiple countries inAsia ,North America andEurope . InAustralia , we primarily sell solar PV components to retail customers and solar project developers. We started to engage in sales and leasing of new zero-emission EVs inU.S. from 2020 and engage in roofing and solar energy systems installation inU.S. from 2021 and commenced pilot production of "Made-in-America" solar modules in US in the second quarter of 2022.
[Our liquidity position has deteriorated since 2015. We suffered a net loss of$9.0 million during the six months endedJune 30, 2022 , and the cash flow used in operating activities was$11.5 million . For a detailed discussion, please see "Item 2 - Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Liquidity and Capital Resources".] OnJune 10, 2022 , our wholly owned subsidiary, Phoenix Motor Inc., aDelaware corporation, closed its initial public offering of 2,100,000 shares of common stock at a public offering price of$7.50 per share, for aggregate gross proceeds of$15.75 million before deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and offering expenses. The offering closed onJune 10, 2022 and the common stock of Phoenix Motor Inc. began trading onJune 8, 2022 on The Nasdaq Capital Market under the ticker symbol "PEV."
Basis of presentation, management estimates and critical accounting policies
Our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles inthe United States of America ("U.S. GAAP") and include the accounts of our company, and all of our subsidiaries. We prepare financial statements in conformity withU.S. GAAP, which requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities on the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the financial reporting period. We continually evaluate these estimates and assumptions based on the most recently available information, our own historical experience and various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Since the use of estimates is an integral component of the financial reporting process, actual results could differ from those estimates. Some of our accounting policies require higher degrees of judgment than others in their application. In order to understand the significant accounting policies that we adopted for the preparation of our condensed consolidated interim financial statements, readers should refer to the information set forth in Note 3 "Summary of significant accounting policies" to our audited financial statements in our 2021 Form 10-K. 17
Principal Factors Affecting Our Results of Operations
We believe that the following factors have had, and we expect that they will continue to have, a significant effect on the development of our business, financial condition and results of operations.
COVID-19
The pandemic of a novel coronavirus (COVID-19) has resulted in a widespread health crisis that has adversely affected the economies and financial markets worldwide. Governmental authorities have recommended or ordered the limitation or cessation of certain business or commercial activities in jurisdictions in which we do business or have operations. While some of these orders permit the continuation of essential business operations, or permit the performance of minimum business activities, these orders are subject to continuous revision or may be revoked or superseded, or our understanding of the applicability of these orders and exemptions may change at any time. In response to these orders, we have reduced the risk of exposure to infection, including reduced travel, cancellation of meetings and events, and implementation of work-at- home policies. Our operating results substantially depend on revenues derived from sales of PV project assets, provision of electricity, our Australian subsidiary's trading of PV components, and ourU.S. subsidiary's business on roofing and solar energy systems installation, sales and leasing of EVs, sales of forklift and sales of solar modules, respectively. As the COVID-19 spread continues, the measures implemented to curb the spread of the virus have resulted in supply chain disruptions, insufficient work force and suspended manufacturing and construction works for solar industry. One or more of our customers, partners, service providers or suppliers may experience financial distress, delayed or defaults on payment, file for bankruptcy protection, sharp diminishing of business, or suffer disruptions in their business due to the outbreak. These preventative measures have also impacted our daily operations. The efforts enacted to control COVID-19 have placed heavy pressure on our marketing and sales activities. We continue to assess the related risks and impacts COVID-19 pandemic may have on our business and our financial performance. In light of the rapidly changing situation across different countries and regions, it remains difficult to estimate the duration and magnitude of COVID-19 impact. Until such time as the COVID-19 pandemic is contained or eradicated and global business return to more customary levels, our business and financial results may be materially adversely affected. Market Demand
Our revenue and profitability depend substantially on the demand for our PV
solutions, which is driven by the economics of PV systems, including the
availability and size of government subsidies and other incentives, government
support, cost improvements in solar power, as well as environmental concerns and
energy demand. The world PV market in terms of new annual installations is
expected to grow significantly in the next five years, providing engineering
procurement construction ("EPC") service providers and solar project developers
like us with significant opportunities to grow our business.
In the long term, as PV technology advances and the average system costs of solar projects decrease, we expect the market for electricity in a growing number of countries to achieve grid parity. As the PV industry becomes more competitive against other energy industries and widespread grid parity strengthens demand for solar projects, we expect our costs of sales to decrease and our revenue and profitability to increase.
In addition, the medium-duty EV market is expected to grow significantly over the next decade. While the market has been too slow to expand over the last many years, many key factors are shaping the industry for accelerated growth over the next few years. Key factors driving this growth include government regulations requiring fleets to go electric, incentives and grant funding supporting commercial zero emission vehicle deployments, infrastructure deployments and corporate electrification mandates. Many large fleets who operate large truck and bus fleets have committed to go 100% electric over the next few years. This includes large delivery truck fleets like Amazon, FedEx,UPS , DHL,IKEA ; also shuttle bus operators like transit agencies inLos Angeles ,Orange County , andNew York ; and large corporate fleet owners likeGenentech , Microsoft andSalesforce . All of the above factors, together with key technology catalysts, are expected to spur demand for medium-duty electric vehicles significantly over the next few years. Key technology drivers include reduction in battery costs and costs of other key components, making electric vehicles cheaper, and advances in EV drivetrain technology, including motor improvements that enable better performance and higher efficiencies; and refinements in high-voltage battery technology. The anticipated sales growth in this segment of the EV market is attributed both to new companies that started as electric vehicle manufacturers, as well as and conventional OEMs who are expected to start offering complete EV over the next few years. 18 As PV and energy storage technology advances and the average system costs decrease, in many cases the residential or small business owners of solar systems have effectively achieved grid parity for their systems. Aided by smart meter and virtual power plant technologies such systems can be an attractive alternative to electricity grid in many localities. We expect traditionally strong residential solar markets such asCalifornia andAustralia to continue to grow, while we expect new growth from markets to emerge such asFlorida ,Texas and US Northeast. As the overall market grows we expect our costs of sales to decrease and our revenue and profitability to increase.
Government Subsidies and Incentive Policies
We believe that the growth of the solar power industry in the short term will continue to depend largely on the availability and effectiveness of government incentives for solar power products and the competitiveness of solar power in relation to conventional and other renewable energy resources in terms of cost. Countries inEurope , notablyItaly ,Germany ,France ,Belgium andSpain , certain countries inAsia , includingJapan ,India andSouth Korea , as well asAustralia andthe United States have adopted favorable renewable energy policies. Examples of government sponsored financial incentives to promote solar power include capital cost rebates, tax credits, net metering and other incentives to end users, distributors, project developers, system integrators and manufacturers of solar power products. Governments may reduce or eliminate existing incentive programs for political, financial or other reasons, which will be difficult for us to predict. Electric utility companies or generators of electricity from fossil fuels or other renewable energy sources could also lobby for a change in the relevant legislation in their markets to protect their revenue streams. Government economic incentives could be reduced or eliminated altogether. With growing emphasis on improving air quality around our communities, large states likeCalifornia are mandating key end user segments to switch to zero emission transportation options. Some of the key regulations driving growth in our addressable market include, inCalifornia , requiring all transit buses to be zero emissions by 2040, requiring all airport shuttles to be electric by 2035, requiring at least 50% of all medium-duty trucks sold in the state to be electric by 2030, and requiring specific end-user segments like drayage and
yard trucks to go electric.
Other states likeNew York ,New Jersey andMassachusetts are also expected to bring in regulatory requirements for key end user segments like transit agencies and school buses to switch to all electric vehicles. Fifteen other states, includingConnecticut ,Colorado ,Hawaii ,Maine ,Maryland ,Massachusetts ,New Jersey , NewYork, North Carolina ,Oregon, Pennsylvania ,Rhode Island ,Vermont , andWashington have committed to followCalifornia's Clean Truck Regulation. Various state and federal agencies are also supporting the switch to zero emission transportation by providing a host of funding and incentive support to develop, demonstrate and deploy zero emission transportation solutions. This is primarily driven by the urgent need to meet carbon and greenhouse gas emission reduction targets. Some of the key funding / incentives driving adoption of electric medium duty vehicles include: the California HVIP program offering a minimum of$60,000 per vehicle as incentive for Class 4 electric vehicles registered and operating in the state, the New York Truck Voucher Incentive Program offering up to$66,000 per Class 4 electric vehicle, funding from federal agencies like the FTA, covering up to 80% of the cost of procuring electric transit buses and various funding options covering up to 100% of the cost of procuring all electric school buses across key states. Federal and various state agencies have established incentives for setting up both public and private charging infrastructure. Notably, theCalifornia Energy Commission and theCalifornia Public Utilities Commission have approved funding up to 100% of the cost of setting up chargers and related infrastructure. Large utilities like Southern California Edison, Pacific Gas & Electric andSan Diego Gas & Electric have 'Charge Ready' programs that cover the entire cost of setting up charging infrastructure. Other states likeNew York ,Chicago ,North Carolina ,Tennessee ,Texas andOhio have also introduced programs to support fleets with their charging infrastructure requirements. 19
Our
Our financial condition and results of operations depend on our ability to successfully continue to develop new solar projects and operate our existing solar projects. We expect to build and manage a greater number of solar projects, which we expect to present additional challenges to our internal processes, external construction management, working capital management and financing capabilities. Our financial condition, results of operations and future success depend, to a significant extent, on our ability to continue to identify suitable sites, expand our pipeline of projects with attractive returns, obtain required regulatory approvals, arrange necessary financing, manage the construction of our solar projects on time and within budget, and successfully operate solar projects. Outbreak of war inUkraine OnFebruary 24, 2022 , theRussian Federation launched an invasion ofUkraine that has had an immediate impact on the global economy resulting in higher energy prices and higher prices for certain raw materials and goods and services which in turn is contributing to higher inflation inthe United States and other countries across the globe with significant disruption to financial markets. We do not have any operation or business inRussia orUkraine , however, we may be potentially indirectly adversely impacted any significant disruption it has caused and may continue to escalate. In addition,the United States and other countries have imposed sanctions onRussia which increases the risk thatRussia may resort to retaliatory actions, including the launching of cyberattacks. It is possible that these attacks could have collateral effects on additional critical infrastructure and financial institutions globally, which could adversely affect our operations. It is difficult to assess the likelihood of such threat and any potential impact at this time. Any one or more of these events may impede our operation and delivery efforts and adversely affect our sales results, or even for a prolonged period of time, which could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

The increase in net sales for the three months endedJune 30, 2022 over the comparative period was primarily due to the increase of revenue from sales of PV components of 0.9 million, forklift sales of 0.7 million and revenue of pre-development solar project of 0.6 million. Cost of revenues - Cost of revenues was$44.7 million (92.0% of net sales) and$40.6 million (88.6% of net sales) for the three months endedJune 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, representing an increase of$4.1 million or 10.2%. The increase in cost of goods sold was consistent with the increase of net sales. Gross profit - Our gross profit decreased from$5.2 million in the three months endedJune 30, 2021 to$3.9 million in the three months endedJune 30, 2022 . Gross margins were 8.0% and 11.4% for the three months endedJune 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The decrease in gross margin was primarily due to the temporary decrease in the unit selling price of PV solar components as impacted by the installed capacity of the entire solar PV market inAustralia . General and administrative expenses - General and administrative expenses were$7.6 million (15.7% of net sale) and$7.7 million (16.7% of net sale) for the three months endedJune 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, representing a decrease of$0.1 million , or 0.6%. The general and administrative expenses kept stable as there was no significant change in operation. Sales, marketing and customer service expenses - Sales, marketing and customer service expenses were$1.4 million (2.8% of net sales) and$1.2 million (2.6% of net sales) for the three months endedJune 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, representing an increase of$0.2 million , or 13.2%. The increase was mainly due to the increase of marketing expenses for more trade shows and exhibitions participated to raise the brand awareness. Provision for credit loss - In the three months endedJune 30, 2022 , we made credit loss provision of$0.5 million and$0.3 million for the three months endedJune 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, which is mainly due to additional provision made for the accounts receivable from the business of roofing and solar energy systems installation inU.S. . Interest expense, net - Interest expense net was$1.6 million (3.4% of net sales) and$1.3 million (2.7% of net sales) for the three months endedJune 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The increase in interest expense was primarily due to interest accrued from new convertible bonds. Net foreign exchange gain (loss) - We had a net foreign exchange gain of$2.3 million (4.6% of net sales) and a net foreign exchange loss of$0.8 million (1.7% of net sales) for the three months endedJune 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The variance is mainly due the fluctuation of exchange rate for EUR/USD.
Others - We generated other income of$3.2 million (6.6% of net sales) and$0.1 million (0.2% of net sales) in the three months endedJune 30, 2022 and 2021. The other income in the three months endedJune 30, 2022 mainly represents the gain on PPP loan forgiveness of$5.1 million and a loss on extinguishment of convertible bonds of$2.2 million . Income tax expense - We had a provision for income taxes of$0.5 million (0.9% of net sales) and$0.5 million (1.2% of net sales) for the three months endedJune 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The income tax expense kept stable as there was no significant change in profit before tax of our subsidiary inAustralia . Net loss - For the foregoing reasons, we incurred a net loss of$2.2 million (4.6% of net sales), for the three months endedJune 30, 2022 , representing a decrease of net loss of$4.2 million compared to a net loss of$6.5 million (14.0% of net sales) for the three months endedJune 30, 2021 . 21

Net sales - Net sales were $87.1 million and $79.4 million for the six months
ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, representing an increase of $7.7
million or 9.7%. The increase in net sales for the six months ended June 30,
2022 over the comparative period was primarily due to the increase of revenue
from sales of roofing and solar installation of $5.8 million , forklift sales of
0.7 million and revenue from pre-development solar project of 0.6 million.
Cost of revenues - Cost of revenues was $80.5 million (92.4% of net sales) and
$72.1 million (90.7% of net sales) for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and
2021, respectively, representing an increase of $8.5million or 11.7%. The
increase in cost of goods sold was consistent with the increase of net sales.
Gross profit - Our gross profit decreased from $7.4 million in the six months
ended June 30, 2021 to $6.6 million in the six months ended June 30, 2022 . Gross
margins were 7.6% and 9.3% for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021,
respectively. The decrease in gross margin was primarily due to the temporary
decrease in the unit selling price of PV solar components as impacted by the
installed capacity of the entire solar PV market in Australia .
General and administrative expenses - General and administrative expenses were
$16.8 million (19.2% of net sale) and $17.3 million (21.7% of net sale) for the
six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, representing a decrease
of $0.5 million , or 3.0%. The decrease was mainly because there was one-off
expense from U.S. subsidiary's business on roofing and solar energy systems
installation that started in 2021, and was partially net off by the increase of
the salaries expense in Phoenix due to the new mid and top level managerial
staffs hired with higher salaries and more employees as Phoenix planned toget listed through IPO. 22 Sales, marketing and customer service expenses - Sales, marketing and customer service expenses were$2.6 million (3.0% of net sales) and$2.2 million (2.8% of net sales) for the six months endedJune 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, representing an increase of$0.4 million , or 16.3%. The increase in our sales, marketing and customer service expenses was mainly due to the increase of employees' salaries and marketing expense. (Reversal) provision for credit loss - In the six months endedJune 30, 2022 , we reversed credit loss provision of$0.2 million , primarily due to the strengthening monitoring on accounts receivable collection. In the six months endedJune 30, 2021 , we made a credit loss provision of$0.3 million , primarily due to the increase in account receivables in SJ US. Interest expense, net - Interest expense net was$3.0 million (3.5% of net sales) and$2.7 million (3.4% of net sales) for the six months endedJune 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The increase in interest expense was primarily due to interest accrued from new convertible bonds.
Net foreign exchange gain - We had a net foreign exchange gain of
Others - We generated other income of$4.0 million (4.6% of net sales) and$0.8 million (0.9% of net sales) in the six months endedJune 30, 2022 and 2021. The other income in the six months endedJune 30, 2022 mainly represents the gain on PPP loan forgiveness of$5.1 million and a loss on extinguishment of convertible bonds of$2.2 million .. The other income in the six months endedJune 30, 2021 mainly represents the gain on forward contracts of$0.6 million . Income tax expense - We had a provision for income taxes of$0.7 million (0.8% of net sales) and$0.9 million (1.1% of net sales) for the six months endedJune 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The income tax expense kept stable as there was no significant change in profit before tax of our subsidiary inAustralia . Net loss - For the foregoing reasons, we incurred a net loss of$9.0 million (10.3% of net sales) for the six months endedJune 30, 2022 , representing a decrease of net loss of$5.6 million compared to a net loss of$14.6 million (18.3% of net sales) for the six months endedJune 30, 2021 .
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Historically, we have financed our operations primarily through cash flows from bank borrowings, financing from issuance of convertible bonds, operating activities, and the proceeds from private placements and registered offerings.
As of
We suffered a net loss of$9.0 million during the six months endedJune 30, 2022 , and the cash flow used in operating activities was$11.5 million . As ofJune 30, 2022 , there is net working capital deficit of$82.6 million and accumulated deficit of$646.5 million . These factors raise substantial doubt as to the Group's ability to continue as a going concern. We intend to continue implementing various measures to boost revenue and control the cost and expenses within an acceptable level and other measures including: 1) negotiate with potential buyers on PV solar projects; 2) negotiate for postponing of convertible bond payments; 3) improve the profitability of the business in US; 4) strictly control and reduce business, marketing and advertising expenses; 5) obtain equity financing from certain subsidiaries' initial public offerings; and 6) seek for certain credit facilities. While we believe that it will be successful in meeting its liquidity and cash flow requirements, there is no assurance to that effect. Our condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that may result from the outcome of these uncertainties. 23 A summary of the sources and uses of cash and cash equivalents is as follows (in thousands): For the Six Months Ended June 30, 2022 2021 (Unaudited) (Unaudited) Net cash used in operating activities$ (11,539 ) $ (17,097 ) Net cash used in investing activities (387 ) (8,831 ) Net cash generated from financing activities 15,856 11,335 Effect of exchange rate changes on cash (522 ) (105 )
Net decrease in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash $ 3,408
Operating Activities
Net cash used in operating activities was$11.5 million for the six months endedJune 30, 2022 , primarily as a result of (i) net loss of$9.0 million , (ii) gain on forgiveness of PPP loan of$5.1 million and (iii) increase in prepaid expenses and other assets of$2.2 million , and (iv) decrease in advances from customers of$1.8 million ; was partially offset by (i) decrease in accounts receivable of$3.7 million , (ii) loss on extinguishment of convertible bonds of$2.2 million , and (iii) stock-based compensation expense of$1.6 million . Net cash used in operating activities was$17.1 million for the six months endedJune 30, 2021 , primarily as a result of (i) net loss of$14.6 million , (ii) increase in prepaid expenses and other assets of$6.4 million and (iii) increase in inventories of$4.6 million ; was partially offset by (i) increase in accounts payable of$4.0 million , (ii) increase in advances from customers of$2.7 million , and (iii) stock-based compensation expense of$2.2 million . Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities was
Net cash used in investing activities was$8.8 million for six months endedJune 30, 2021 , primarily as a result of cash paid for asset purchase of PDI in the amount of$8.0 million and purchase of property and equipment of$0.9 million . Financing Activities
Net cash generated from financing activities was
Net cash generated from financing activities was$11.3 million for the six months endedJune 30, 2021 , primarily consisted of (i) proceeds from issuance of ordinary shares of$13.6 million , (ii) proceeds from issuance of convertible note of$8.0 million , and (iii) net proceeds received from borrowings of$2.4 million ; partially offset by (i) repayment of convertible notes of$13.8 million . Capital Expenditures We incurred capital expenditures of$2.4 million and$8.9 million for the six months endedJune 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Capital commitments amounted to approximately$7.2 million as ofJune 30, 2022 . These capital commitments were solely related to contracts signed with vendors automation production line, equipment or PV related products used for the construction of solar PV systems being developed by the Group. We expect to finance construction of these projects using cash from our operations and private placements, registered offerings, bank borrowings as well as other third-party financing options.
24 Trend information Our operating results substantially depend on revenues derived from sales of PV project assets, provision of electricity, our Australian subsidiary's trading of PV components, and ourU.S. subsidiary's business on roofing and solar energy systems installation and sales, leasing of EVs, sales of forklifts, and sale of solar modules, respectively. As the COVID-19 spread and impact of the outbreak of war inUkraine continues, the measures implemented to curb the spread of the virus and the crisis inUkraine have resulted in supply chain disruptions, insufficient work force and suspended manufacturing and construction works for solar industry. In light of the rapidly changing situation across different countries and regions, it remains difficult to estimate the duration and magnitude of the impact of COVID-19 and the crisis inUkraine . Other than as disclosed elsewhere in this quarterly report, we are not aware of any trends, uncertainties, demands, commitments or events for the six months endedJune 30, 2022 that are reasonably likely to have a material effect on our net revenues, income, profitability, liquidity or capital resources, or that would cause reported consolidated financial information not necessarily to be indicative of future operating results or financial conditions.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As ofJune 30, 2022 , we had no off-balance sheet arrangements that are or have been reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures, or capital resources that are material to investors. We have not entered into any derivative contracts that are indexed to our own shares and classified as shareholder's equity, or that are not reflected in our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. We do not have any retained or contingent interest in assets transferred to an unconsolidated entity that serves as credit, liquidity or market risk support to such entity. We do not have any variable interest in any unconsolidated entity that provides financing, liquidity, market risk or credit support to us or engages in leasing, hedging or research and development services with us.
