Comparison of Operating Results

 

Year Ended December 31, 201 5 and 201 4

(all amounts rounded)

 

Power generation revenue was $483 thousand in 2015 compared to $975 thousand in 2014, a decrease of $492 thousand; and total cost of revenues was $278 thousand compared to $553 thousand in 2014, a decrease of $275 thousand. Both decreases are due primarily to the sale of our Powerhouse One subsidiary effective July 1, 2015.

 

The increase in general and administrative expenses of approximately $168 thousand was comprised of:

 

	●	a net decrease of $468 thousand in equity compensation as 2014 included a general grant of options to management and Board members, advisors, and contractors resulting in a non-cash expense of $1.1 million; offset by new grants in 2015 to Board members, advisors, and contractors resulting in expenses of $671 thousand
	●	a net increase in consulting fees of $101 thousand resulting primarily from adding a contractor to assist in project financing efforts incurring an additional expense of $228 thousand, offset by the elimination of an accounting contractor resulting in a decrease of $20 thousand, the elimination of a business development contractor resulting in a decrease of $52 thousand, and the reversal of a prior year accrual of $37 thousand
	●	legal fees increased $113 thousand resulting from mediation of legal disputes with Carlyle and Vis Solis.
	●	an increase of $523 thousand in public company and travel costs in connection with a public offering later withdrawn
	●	a net decrease of $26 thousand in external relations. The costs of public relations decreased $87 thousand while the cost of investor relations increased $61 thousand as the Company shifted its emphasis in favor of investor relations in preparation of a public offering later withdrawn.
	●	insurance premiums for Directors and Officers insurance increased by $18 thousand in preparation of a public offering later withdrawn
	●	a decrease of $180 thousand in acquisition costs as more costs were capitalized in 2015
	●	an increase of $90 thousand in Delaware franchise taxes stemming from the increase in total assets

 

Results of operations were further impacted by the following significant items:

 

	●	a gain on sale of Powerhouse One of $644 thousand and a gain on assignment of Principal Sunrise IV of $4.2 million
	●	an accrual of $600 thousand in commissions to CCMI related to an expected disposition of Principal Sunrise V
	●	an accrual of $800,000 payable to settle a matter surrounding an investment in our Common Stock
	●	an impairment charge of $322 thousand on an under-performing asset, SunGen StepGuys
	●	an increase in interest expense of $1.2 million reflecting the amortization of the discount on debt (primarily convertible debentures) largely offset by a decrease in the value of the derivative liability on warrants of $1.2 million
	●	additional increases and decreases in interest expense largely offsetting each other including a decrease of $50 thousand resulting from the cessation in December 2014 of interest accrual on legacy liabilities; an increase in interest expense of $96 thousand resulting from additional Alpha Capital debentures and related party payable; an expense for warrants of $83 thousand; a decrease in interest expense on the acquisition note payable of $201 thousand resulting from the sale of Powerhouse One effective July 1, 2015, offset by interest expense of $61 thousand incurred on the Arowana Note

 

Due to movements in the price of the Company's stock, the withdrawal of a public offering, and uncertainty surrounding the Company's future prospects, our independent valuation firm estimated a decline at September 30, 2015, in the value of the warrants issued to Alpha Capital Anstalt in connection with the March 2, 2015, issuance of debentures. As a result, the value of the derivative liability was reduced to zero and the Company recorded a gain of $1.2 million in the year ended December 31, 2015. Because all principal and interest pursuant to the debentures was repaid in August 2015, and the element of the debt giving rise to the derivative liability was eliminated, no future valuation adjustments will be made.
