Going Concern

3. Going Concern

 

As of December 31, 2023, the Company had $3,365,778 in cash and cash equivalents. The Company has generated only limited revenues and has relied primarily upon capital generated from public and private offerings of its securities. Since the Company’s acquisition of Worksport in fiscal year 2014, it has never generated a profit. As of December 31, 2023, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $48,313,177.

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company had net losses of $14,928,958 (2022 - $12,534,414). As of December 31, 2023, the Company had working capital of $1,956,894 (2022 – $15,870,377) and had an accumulated deficit of $48,313,177 (2022 - $33,384,219). The Company has not generated profit from operations since inception and to date has relied on debt and equity financing for continued operations. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the ability to generate cash flows from operations and obtain equity and/or debt financing. The Company intends to continue funding operations through equity and debt financing arrangements, which may be insufficient to fund its capital expenditures, working capital and other cash requirements in the long term. There can be no assurance that the steps management is taking will be successful.

3. Going Concern (continued)

 

The Company has historically operated at a loss, although that may change as sales volumes increase and margins improve. As of December 31, 2023, the Company had working capital of $1,956,894 (2022 – $15,870,377) and an accumulated deficit of $48,313,177 (2022 - $33,384,219). As of December 31, 2023, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $3,365,778 (2022 - $14,620,757). Despite the Company having mostly completed its purchasing of large manufacturing machinery, operational costs are expected to remain elevated and, thus, further decrease cash and cash equivalents. Concurrently, the Company intends to continue its ramp-up of manufacturing and increasing sales volumes in 2024, which should mitigate the effects of operational costs on cash and cash equivalents; this view is supported by the fact that the manufacturing facility of the Company was completed for initial production output in 2023 and has started to generate revenue in the third quarter of 2023.

 

The Company has successfully raised cash, and it is positioned to do so again if deemed necessary or strategically advantageous. During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company, through its Reg-A public offering, private placement offering, underwritten public offering, and exercises of warrants, raised an aggregate of approximately $32,500,000. On September 30, 2022, the Company filed a shelf registration statement on Form S-3, which was declared effective by the SEC on October 13, 2022, allowing the Company to issue up to $30,000,000 of common stock and prospectus supplement covering the offering, issuance and sale of up to $13,000,000 of common stock that may be issued and sold under an At The Market Offering Agreement dated September 30, 2022 (“ATM Agreement”), with H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC, as the sales agent (“HCW”). Pursuant to the ATM Agreement, HCW is entitled to a commission equal to 3.0% of the gross sales price of the shares of common stock sold. As of December 31, 2023, the Company has sold and issued 99,127 shares of common stock in consideration for net proceeds of $214,238 under the ATM Agreement.

 

On November 2, 2023, the Company closed a sale of 1,925,000 shares of common stock and 1,575,000 pre-funded warrants for a total net proceeds of $4,261,542. In association with the sale, the Company also issued 7,000,000 warrants convertible for 7,000,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.34. The warrants are exercisable six months after issuance and will expire five and a half years from the issuance date.

 

To date, the Company’s principal sources of liquidity consist of net proceeds from public and private securities offerings and cash exercises of outstanding warrants. During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company received nominal proceeds from public offerings, private placement offerings, and from the exercise of any outstanding warrants or options. Management is focused on transitioning towards revenue as its principal source of liquidity by growing existing product offerings as well as the Company’s customer base. The Company cannot give assurance that it can increase its cash balances or limit its cash consumption and thus maintain sufficient cash balances for planned operations or future business developments. Future business development and demands may lead to cash utilization at levels greater than recently experienced. The Company may need to raise additional capital in the future. However, the Company cannot provide assurances it will be able to raise additional capital on acceptable terms, or at all.

 

The Company has evaluated whether there are conditions and events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date the financial statements are issued. Still, certain factors indicate the existence of a material uncertainty that cast substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. These adjustments could be material.
