Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 1. Description of Business and Basis of Presentation

Description of Business

Tecogen Inc., or the Company, we, our or us, produces commercial and industrial engine-driven, combined heat and power (CHP) products that reduce energy costs, decrease greenhouse gas emissions and alleviate congestion on the national power grid. The Company’s products supply electric power or mechanical power for cooling, while heat from the engine is recovered and purposefully used at a facility. The Company also installs, owns, operates and maintains complete energy systems and other complementary systems at customer sites and sells electricity, hot water, heat and cooling energy under long-term contracts at prices guaranteed to the customer to be below conventional utility rates.

The majority of the Company’s customers are located in regions with the highest utility rates, typically California, the Midwest and the Northeast. The Company's common stock is listed on NASDAQ under the ticker symbol TGEN.

On May 18, 2017, the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding common stock of American DG Energy Inc., formerly a related entity, in a stock-for-stock merger.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2020.

The condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2019 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.

For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in Tecogen's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and entities in which it has a controlling financial interest. Those entities include the Company's wholly-owned subsidiaries American DG Energy Inc., TTcogen LLC, and a joint venture, American DG New York, LLC, in which American DG Energy Inc. holds a 51% interest. Investments in partnerships and companies in which the Company does not have a controlling financial interest but where we have significant influence are accounted for under the equity method. Any intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The Company’s operations are comprised of two business segments. Our Products and Services segment designs, manufactures and sells industrial and commercial cogeneration systems as described above. Our Energy Production segment sells energy in the form of electricity, heat, hot water and cooling to our customers under long-term sales agreements.

Reclassification

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform with current year presentation.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Income Taxes

The provisions for income taxes in the accompanying unaudited consolidated statements of operations differ from that which would be expected by applying the federal statutory tax rate primarily due to losses for which no benefit is recognized.

Note 2. Revenue

Revenue is recognized when performance obligations under the terms of a contract with our customer are satisfied; generally this occurs with the transfer of control of our products, services and energy production. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration we expect to receive in exchange for transferring goods or providing services or energy to customers.

TECOGEN INC.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

Shipping and handling fees billed to customers in a sales transaction are recorded in revenue and shipping and handling costs incurred are recorded in cost of sales. The Company has elected to exclude from revenue any value add sales and other taxes which it collects concurrent with revenue-producing activities. These accounting policy elections are consistent with the manner in which the Company historically recorded shipping and handling fees and taxes. Incremental costs incurred by us in obtaining a contract with a customer are negligible, if any, and are expensed ratably in proportion to the related revenue recognized.

Disaggregated Revenue

In general, the Company's business segmentation is aligned according to the nature and economic characteristics of its products and customer relationships and provides meaningful disaggregation of each business segment's results of operations.

The following table further disaggregates our revenue by major source by segment for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019.

Total revenue	$	6,935,822	$	1,240,809	$	8,176,631

Product and Services Segment

Products. We transfer control and generally recognize a sale when we ship a product from our manufacturing facility at which point a customer takes ownership of the product. Payment terms on product sales are generally 30 days.

We recognize revenue in certain circumstances before delivery to the customer has occurred (commonly referred to as bill and hold transactions). We recognize revenue related to such transactions once, among other things, the customer has made a written fixed commitment to purchase the product(s) under normal billing and credit terms, the customer has requested the product(s) be held for future delivery as scheduled and designated by them, risk of ownership has been assumed by the customer, and the product(s) are tagged as sold and segregated for storage awaiting further direction from the customer. Due to the infrequent nature and duration of bill and hold arrangements, the value associated with custodial storage services is deemed immaterial in the context of the contract and in total, and accordingly, none of the transaction price is allocated to such service.

Depending on the product and terms of the arrangement, we may defer the recognition of a portion of the transaction price received because we have to satisfy a future obligation (e.g., product start-up service). Amounts allocated to product start-up services are recognized as revenue when the start-up service has been completed. We use an observable selling price to determine standalone selling prices where available and either a combination of an adjusted market assessment approach, an expected cost plus a margin approach, and/or a residual approach to determine the standalone selling prices for separate performance obligations as a basis for allocating contract consideration when an observable selling price is not available. Amounts received but not recognized pending completion of performance are recognized as contract liabilities and are recorded as deferred revenue along with deposits by customers.

TECOGEN INC.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

Installation Services. We provide both complete turnkey installation services and what we refer to as light installation services. Complete turnkey installation services typically include all necessary engineering and design, labor, subcontract labor and service, and ancillary products and parts necessary to install a cogeneration unit including integration into the customers’ existing electrical and mechanical systems. Light installation services typically include some engineering and design as well as certain ancillary products and parts necessary for the customers’ installation of a cogeneration unit.

Under light installation contracts, revenue related to ancillary products and parts is recognized when we transfer control of such items to the customer, generally when we ship them from our manufacturing facility, with revenue related to engineering and design services being recognized at the point where the customer can benefit from the service, generally as completed. Generally billings under light installation contracts are made when shipped and/or completed, with payment terms generally being 30 days.

Under complete turnkey installation service contracts revenue is recognized over time using the percentage-of-completion method determined on a cost to cost basis. Our performance obligation under such contracts is satisfied progressively over time as enhancements are made to customer owned and controlled properties. We measure progress towards satisfaction of the performance obligation based on an input method based on cost which we believe is the most faithful depiction of the transfer of products and services to the customer under these contracts. When the financial metrics of a contract indicate a loss, our policy is to record the entire expected loss as soon as it is known. Contract costs and profit recognized to date under the percentage-of-completion method in excess of billings are recognized as contract assets and are recorded as unbilled revenue. Billings in excess of contract costs and profit are recognized as contract liabilities and are recorded as deferred revenue. Generally billings under complete turnkey installation contracts are made when contractually determined milestones of progress have been achieved, with payment terms generally being 30 days.

Maintenance Services. Maintenance services are provided under either long-term maintenance contracts or one-time maintenance contracts. Revenue under one-time maintenance contracts is recognized when the maintenance service is completed. Revenue under long-term maintenance contracts is recognized either ratably over the term of the contract where the contract price is fixed or when the periodic maintenance activities are completed where the invoiced cost to the customer is based on run hours or kilowatts produced in a given period. We use an output method to measure progress towards completion of our performance obligation which results in the recognition of revenue on the basis of a direct measurement of the value to the customer of the services transferred to date relative to the remaining services promised under the contract. We use the practical expedient at ASC 606-10-55-18 of recognizing revenue in an amount equal to the amount we have the right to invoice the customer under the contract.

Energy Production Segment

Energy Production. Revenue from energy contracts is recognized when electricity, heat, hot and/or chilled water is produced by Company owned on-site cogeneration systems. Each month we bill the customer and recognize revenue for the various forms of energy delivered, based on meter readings which capture the quantity of the various forms of energy delivered in a given month, under a contractually defined formula which takes into account the current month's cost of energy from the local power utility.

As the various forms of energy delivered by us under energy production contracts are simultaneously delivered and consumed by the customer, our performance obligation under these contracts is considered to be satisfied over time. We use an output method to measure progress towards completion of our performance obligation which results in the recognition of revenue on the basis of a direct measurement of the value to the customer of the services transferred to date relative to the remaining services promised under the contract. We use the practical expedient at ASC 606-10-55-18 of recognizing revenue in an amount equal to the amount that we have the right to invoice the customer under the contract. Payment terms on invoices under these contracts are generally 30 days.

Contract Balances

The timing of revenue recognition, billings and cash collections result in billed accounts receivable, unbilled revenue (contract assets) and deferred revenue, consisting of customer deposits and billings in excess of revenue recognized (contract liabilities) on the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets.

Revenue recognized during the quarter ended March 31, 2020 that was included in unbilled revenue at the beginning of the period was approximately $1.2 million. Approximately $0.8 million was billed in this period that had been recognized as revenue in previous periods.

TECOGEN INC.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

Revenue recognized during the quarter ended March 31, 2020 that was included in deferred revenue at the beginning of the period was approximately $1.4 million.

Remaining Performance Obligations

Remaining performance obligations related to ASC 606 represent the aggregate transaction price allocated to performance obligations with an original contract term greater than one year, excluding certain maintenance contracts and all energy production contracts where a direct measurement of the value to the customer is used as a method of measuring progress towards completion of our performance obligation. Exclusion of these remaining performance obligations is due in part to the inability to quantify values based on unknown future levels of delivery and in some cases rates used to bill customers. Remaining performance obligations therefore consist of unsatisfied or partially satisfied performance obligations related to fixed price maintenance contracts and installation contracts.

As of March 31, 2020, the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations was approximately $12.3 million. The Company expects to recognize revenue of approximately 95% of the remaining performance obligations over the next 24 months, 93% recognized in the first 12 months and 2% recognized over the subsequent 12 months, and the remainder recognized thereafter.

Note 3. Loss Per Common Share

The aggregate amortization expense related to intangible assets and liabilities exclusive of contract related intangibles for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 was $22,816 and $24,099, respectively. The net credit to cost of sales related to the amortization of contract related intangible assets and liabilities for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 was $107,998 and $173,292, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company abandoned certain patent applications amounting to a $179,944 abandonment charge for the period.

Favorable/Unfavorable Contract Assets and Liabilities

The favorable contract asset and unfavorable contract liability in the foregoing table represent the estimated fair value of American DG Energy's customer contracts (both positive for favorable contracts and negative for unfavorable contracts) which were acquired by the Company in May 2017.

Amortization of intangibles including contract related amounts is calculated using the straight-line method over the remaining useful life or contract term. Aggregate future amortization over the next five years is estimated to be as follows:



Year 1	$	(182,301	)
Year 2	(226,960		)
Year 3	(196,015		)
Year 4	(136,446		)
Year 5	(87,762		)

Note 6. Sale of Energy Producing Assets and Goodwill Impairment

During the first quarter of 2019, the Company recognized two individual sales of energy producing assets, for a total of eight power purchase agreements, including the associated energy production contracts for total consideration of $7 million, which resulted in a combined gain on sale of assets of $1,081,049 included in the accompanying statement of operations.

In connection with the sales, the Company entered into agreements with the purchaser to maintain and operate the assets over the remaining periods of the associated energy production contracts (through August 2033 and January 2034, respectively) in exchange for monthly fees for both maintenance and operation. These agreements contain provisions whereby the Company has guaranteed to the purchaser a minimum level or threshold of cash flows from the associated energy

TECOGEN INC.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

production contracts. Actual results are compared to the minimum threshold bi-annually, with the Company making up any shortfall. To the extent actual results are in excess of the minimum threshold, the Company is entitled to forty percent of such excess under the agreements. As of March 31, 2020, the Company has a $42,489 receivable relating to this arrangement due to timing of payments from customers.

The foregoing agreements also contain provisions whereby the Company has agreed to make whole the purchaser in the event the counterparty to the energy production contract(s) defaults on or otherwise terminates before the stated expiration of the energy production contract. Should the Company be required to make whole the purchaser under such provisions, the Company would be entitled to seek recovery from the counterparty to the energy production contract(s) under a similar provision contained in those contracts in respect of early termination.

The Company is also responsible under the agreements for site decommissioning costs, if any, in excess of certain threshold amounts by site. Decommissioning of site assets is performed when, if and as requested by the counterparty to the energy production contract upon termination of the energy production contract.

The combined gain on sale of these assets was determined after deducting from the gross proceeds the remaining net book value of the assets sold and an estimate of the remaining costs to complete installation of certain of the site assets as well as deducting an estimate of amounts which the Company believes it will be required to pay under the minimum cash flow guarantee described above. In determining the combined gain on the sale of these assets, no amount of goodwill assigned to the energy production segment and reporting unit was included as individual sites and related site energy producing assets are not considered businesses. The aggregate of the assets sold represents a significant portion of the energy production segment and reporting unit’s assets and cash flows which is the basis for determination of the fair value of the energy production reporting unit as used for goodwill impairment determinations. Accordingly, the sale of these assets caused the Company to assess the impact of the sales on the valuation of remaining goodwill assigned to the energy production reporting unit. That assessment included a determination of whether the remaining carrying value of the energy production reporting unit including goodwill exceeded its fair value. Following a goodwill impairment charge in 2018 which reduced the carrying value of the energy production reporting unit including goodwill to fair value based on discounted cash flows, exclusion of the discounted cash flows related to the assets sold resulted in impairment of the remaining goodwill assigned to the energy production reporting unit in an amount proportionate to the discounted cash flows related to the assets sold to the total discounted cash flows of the energy production reporting unit before the sales. The goodwill impairment as a result of the sales and recognized in the first quarter of 2019 totaled approximately $3.7 million, reducing the remaining carrying value of the energy production reporting unit, including goodwill to the discounted cash flow of the remaining sites or fair value.

Note 7. Leases

Our leases principally consist of operating leases related to our corporate office, field offices, and our research, manufacturing and storage facilities. Our lease terms do not include options to extend or terminate the lease until we are reasonably certain that we will exercise that option.

At inception, the Company determines if an arrangement contains a lease and whether that lease meets the classification criteria of a finance or operating lease. Some of the Company’s lease arrangements contain lease components (e.g. minimum rent payments) and non-lease components (e.g. maintenance, labor charges, etc.). The Company generally accounts for each component separately based on the estimated standalone price of each component.

Operating leases are included in Right-of-use assets, Lease obligations, current and Lease obligations, long term on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. These assets and liabilities are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of remaining lease payments over the lease term using an incremental borrowing rate consistent with the lease terms or implicit rates, when readily determinable. Short-term operating leases, which have an initial term of 12 months or less, are not recorded on the balance sheet.

Lease expense for operating leases, which principally consist of fixed payments for base rent, is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Lease expense for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 was $190,035 and $179,697, respectively.

Supplemental information related to leases for the three months ended March 31, 2020 was as follows:

Note 8. Stock-Based Compensation

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company adopted a 2006 Stock Option and Incentive Plan, or the Plan, under which the Board of Directors may grant incentive or non-qualified stock options and stock grants to key employees, directors, advisors and consultants of the Company. The Plan was amended at various dates by the Board of Directors to increase the reserved shares of common stock issuable under the Amended Plan to 3,838,750 as of March 31, 2020.

Stock options vest based upon the terms within the individual option grants, with an acceleration of the unvested portion of such options upon a change in control event, as defined in the Amended Plan. The options are not transferable except by will or domestic relations order. The option price per share under the Amended Plan cannot be less than the fair market value of the underlying shares on the date of the grant. The number of shares remaining available for future issuance under the Amended Plan as of March 31, 2020 was 1,973,458.

Stock option activity for the three months ended March 31, 2020 was as follows:



Common Stock Options	Number of Options		Exercise Price Per Share	Weighted Average Exercise Price		Weighted Average Remaining Life	Aggregate Intrinsic Value
Outstanding, December 31, 2019	1,352,874		$0.79-$10.33	$	3.57	5.30 years	$	95,381
Granted	—
Exercised	(1,000	)	$1.20	$	1.20

Outstanding, March 31, 2020	1,284,596		$0.79-$10.33	$	3.69	5.32 years	$	3,664
Exercisable, March 31, 2020	905,054			$	3.71		$	3,664
Vested and expected to vest, March 31, 2020	1,227,665			$	3.70		$	3,664

Consolidated stock-based compensation expense for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 was $42,236 and $38,035, respectively. No tax benefit was recognized related to the stock-based compensation recorded during the period.

Note 9. Fair Value Measurements

The fair value topic of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification 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. The accounting guidance also establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs, where available, and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. There are three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1 - Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. The Company currently does not have any Level 1 financial assets or liabilities.

TECOGEN INC.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

Level 2 - Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1. Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in non-active markets, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets and inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability. The Company has Level 2 financial assets and liabilities as provided below.

Level 3 - Unobservable inputs reflecting management’s own assumptions about the input used in pricing the asset or liability. The Company does not currently have any Level 3 financial assets or liabilities.

The following table presents the asset reported in "other assets" in the consolidated balance sheet measured at its fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2020 by level within the fair value hierarchy.



March 31, 2020			Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets		Significant other observable inputs		Significant unobservable inputs
	Total		Level 1		Level 2		Level 3
Recurring fair value measurements
Marketable equity securities
EuroSite Power Inc.	$	196,806	$	—	$	196,806	$	—
Total recurring fair value measurements	$	196,806	$	—	$	196,806	$	—

The Company utilizes a Level 2 category fair value measurement to value its investment in EuroSite Power as a marketable equity security at period end. That measurement is equal to the quoted market closing price at period end. Since this security is not actively traded the Company classifies it as Level 2.

The following table summarizes changes in Level 2 assets which are comprised of marketable equity securities for the period:



Fair value at December 31, 2019	$	216,487
Unrealized loss included in net income for the three months ended March 31, 2020	(19,681		)
Fair value at March 31, 2020	$	196,806

Note 10. Revolving Line of Credit, Bank

On May 4, 2018 ("Closing Date") the Company, and its wholly owned subsidiaries, American DG Energy Inc. and TTcogen LLC (collectively, the "Borrowers"), entered into a Credit Agreement with Webster Business Credit Corporation (the "Lender") that matures in May 2021 and provides Borrowers a line of credit of up to $10 million on a revolving and secured basis, with availability based on certain accounts receivables, raw materials, and finished goods.

Borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear interest at a rate equal to, at the Borrower's option, either (1) One Month LIBOR, plus 3.00%, or (2) Lender’s Base Rate, plus 1.5%. Lender’s Base Rate is defined as the highest of (a) the Federal Funds rate plus 0.5%, (b) Lender’s Prime Rate as adjusted by Lender from time to time, and (c) One Month LIBOR, plus 2.75%.

The Credit Agreement contains certain affirmative and negative covenants applicable to the Company and its subsidiaries, which include, among other things, restrictions on their ability to (i) incur additional indebtedness, (ii) make certain investments, (iii) acquire other entities, (iv) dispose of assets and (v) make certain payments including those related to dividends or repurchase of equity. The Credit Agreement also contains financial covenants including maintaining a fixed charge coverage ratio of not less than 1.10:1.00 and the Company may not make any financed capital expenditures in excess of $500,000 in the aggregate in any fiscal year. As of March 31, 2020, the Company was not in compliance with all of the covenants. See Note 13. Subsequent Events for further discussion.

The $145,011 of costs incurred in connection with the issuance of the revolving credit facility were capitalized and are being amortized to interest expense on a straight-line basis over three years based on the contractual term of the Agreement. As of March 31, 2020, the outstanding balance on the line of credit was $1,494,821 and the unamortized portion of debt issuance

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

cost related to the Credit Agreement was $37,861 and is netted against the revolving line of credit balance in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.

Note 11. Commitments and Contingencies

The Company guarantees certain obligations of a former subsidiary of American DG Energy, EuroSite Power Inc. These guarantees include a payment performance guarantee in respect of collateralized equipment financing loans, with a remaining principal amount outstanding subject to the guarantee at March 31, 2020 of approximately $135,000 due ratably in equal installments through September 2021, and certain guarantees of performance in respect of certain customer contracts. Based on current conditions, the Company does not believe there to be any amounts probable of payment by the Company under any of the guarantees and has estimated the value associated with the non-contingent aspect of the guarantees is approximately $7,000 which is recorded as a liability in the accompanying financial statements.

Note 12. Segments

As of March 31, 2020, the Company was organized into two operating segments through which senior management evaluates the Company’s business. These segments, as described in more detail in Note 1, are organized around the products and services provided to customers and represent the Company’s reportable segments.

Note 13. Subsequent Events

On April 17, 2020, the Company obtained an unsecured loan through Webster Bank, N.A. in the amount of $1,874,200 in connection with the Paycheck Protection Program pursuant to the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”). The loan is guaranteed by the United States Small Business Administration. Interest on the loan balance is at the rate of 1% per year, and repayment of the loan balance is deferred until November 17, 2020, at which time the balance is payable in 18 monthly installments of $104,948 with the final payment due April 17, 2022 if not forgiven in accordance with the Cares Act and the terms of the Promissory Note executed by the Company in connection with the loan. The Company intends to use the loan proceeds for payroll, rent, and utilities during the next two months, and to then apply for forgiveness of the loan balance as permitted under the CARES Act and the Promissory Note. No waiver is required under the Company's existing line of credit through Webster Bank in connection with the Paycheck Protection Program loan.

On May 11, 2020 Tecogen Inc. (the "Company") and Webster Business Credit Corporation ("Webster") agreed to terminate the Credit Agreement dated May 4, 2018 by and between Webster and the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, together with related agreements, including a Revolving Note, Security Agreement, Blocked Account Agreement, and Master Letter of Credit Agreement. Tecogen paid an early termination fee in the amount of $25,000 in connection with the termination of the Credit Agreement, and plans to continue using cash management services provided by Webster Bank.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Forward-looking statements are made throughout this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. Any statements contained herein that are not statements of historical fact may be deemed to be forward-looking statements. Without limiting the foregoing, the words “believes,” “anticipates,” “plans,” “expects,” “seeks,” “estimates” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements include, among other things, statements regarding our current and future cash requirements, our expectations regarding suppliers of cogeneration units, and statements regarding potential financing activities in the future. While the Company may elect to update forward-looking statements in the future, it specifically disclaims any obligation to do so, even if the Company’s estimates change, and readers should not rely on those forward-looking statements as representing the Company’s views as of any date subsequent to the date of the filing of this Quarterly Report. There are a number of important factors that could cause the actual results of the Company to differ materially from those indicated by such forward-looking statements, including those detailed under the heading “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for our fiscal year ended December 31, 2019.

Significant portions of our business are deemed “essential services” under various state shelter-in-place orders, and we have been able to maintain critical manufacturing and service operations. The safety of our employees is our primary concern, and we make every effort to keep our employees who operate our business safe and minimize unnecessary risk of exposure to the virus. As part of our pandemic response plan, our sales, engineering, and select administrative functions are being operated remotely while our manufacturing team continues to function. We have expanded our cleaning services for our manufacturing facility each day and have established protocols for the mandatory use of personal protective equipment and sanitation upon entering or exiting the building. Our service centers continue to operate normally as part of our essential services designation. Out of an abundance of caution, on April 14, 2020 we closed our Waltham facility and ceased operations for approximately one week for the purpose of disinfecting the facility after learning that an individual from our cleaning company tested positive for COVID-19 ten days after his last visit to our facility. We reopened the Waltham facility within a week and resumed normal operations. Our service operations continue to function normally throughout this period.

On April 17, 2020, we were granted a loan under the Paycheck Protection Program pursuant to the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”) through Webster Bank. The loan is guaranteed by the United States Small Business Administration (“SBA”) and subject to certain limitations, provided that employees are kept on the payroll for eight weeks and the loan is used for payroll, rent, or utilities the loan may be forgiven by the SBA. There can be no assurance that the Paycheck Protection Program Loan will be ultimately be forgiven.

Overview

Tecogen designs, manufactures and sells industrial and commercial cogeneration systems that produce combinations of electricity, hot water and air conditioning using automotive engines that have been adapted to run on natural gas. In some cases, our customers may choose to have the Company engineer and install the system for them rather than simply purchase the cogeneration and/or chiller units, which we refer to as "turnkey" projects. Cogeneration systems are efficient because, in addition to supplying mechanical energy to power electric generators or compressors – displacing utility supplied electricity – they provide an opportunity for the facility to incorporate the engine’s waste heat into onsite processes, such as space and potable water heating. We produce standardized, modular, small-scale products, with a limited number of product configurations that are adaptable to multiple applications. We refer to these combined heat and power products as CHP (electricity plus heat) and MCHP (mechanical power plus heat).

Our products are sold directly to end-users by our in-house marketing team and by established sales agents and representatives. We have agreements in place with distributors and sales representatives. Our existing customers include hospitals and nursing homes, colleges and universities, health clubs and spas, hotels and motels, office and retail buildings, food and beverage processors, multi-unit residential buildings, laundries, ice rinks, swimming pools, factories, municipal buildings, military installations and indoor growing facilities. We have an installed base of more than 3,000 units. Our products have long useful lives with proper maintenance. Some of our units have been operating for over 35 years.

TECOGEN INC.

With the acquisition of American DG Energy Inc. ("ADGE") in May 2017, we added an additional source of revenue. Through ADGE, we install, own, operate and maintain complete distributed generation of electricity systems, or DG systems or energy systems, and other complementary systems at customer sites, and sell electricity, hot water, heat and cooling energy under long-term contracts at prices guaranteed to the customer to be below conventional utility rates. Each month we obtain readings from our energy meters to determine the amount of energy produced for each customer. We use a contractually defined formula to multiply these readings by the appropriate published price of energy (electricity, natural gas or oil) from each customer's local energy utility, to derive the value of our monthly energy sale, which includes a negotiated discount. Our revenues per customer on a monthly basis vary based on the amount of energy produced by our energy systems and the published price of energy (electricity, natural gas or oil) from our customer's local energy utility that month.

The Company’s operations are comprised of two business segments. Our Products and Services segment ("Segment 1") designs, manufactures and sells industrial and commercial cogeneration systems as described above. Our Energy Production segment ("Segment 2") sells energy in the form of electricity, heat, hot water and cooling to our customers under long-term sales agreements.

Results of Operations

First Three Months of 2020 Compared to First Three Months of 2019

Revenues

Total revenues for the first three months of 2020 were $7,962,700 compared to $8,176,631 for the same period in 2019, a decrease of $213,931 or 2.6% year over year.

Segment 1 - Products and Services

Product revenues in the first three months of 2020 were $2,750,479 compared to $3,024,526 for the same period in 2019, a decrease of $274,047 or 9.1%.This decrease was a combination of an increase in cogeneration sales of $1,417,215 and a decrease in chiller sales of $1,691,262. Such variations in product mix from period to period are not unusual and expected. Furthermore, the first quarter of 2020 included a return of chiller products of approximately $655 thousand. These returned products are new and included in inventory as of March 31, 2020.

Service revenues in the first three months of 2020 were $4,461,371, compared to $3,911,296 for the same period in 2019, an increase of $550,075 or 14.1%. This increase in the first three months of 2020 is due to an increase in installation activity of $439,559 and an increase of $110,516 in service contract revenues. While service contract revenue generally remains relatively constant, installation activity can vary widely depending on the status of various projects.

Segment 2 - Energy Production

Energy production revenues in the first three months of 2020 were $750,850, compared to $1,240,809 for the same period in 2019. This decrease is representative of the reduction in energy producing assets owned due to the sales of a portion of these assets as discussed in Note 6. Sale of Energy Producing Assets and Goodwill Impairment

Cost of Sales

Cost of sales in the first three months of 2020 was $5,170,533 compared to $5,217,872 for the same period in 2019, a decrease of $47,339, or 0.9%.

Segment 1 - Products and Services

Cost of sales for products and services in the first three months of 2020 was $4,686,129 compared to $4,417,995 for the same period in 2019, an increase of $268,134 or 6.1%. During the first three months of 2020, our product and service gross margin was 35.0% compared to 36.3% for the same period in 2019, a 1.3% decrease.

Segment 2 - Energy Production

Cost of sales for energy production in the first three months of 2020 was $484,404 compared to $799,877 for the same period in 2019. During first three months of 2020 and 2019, our gross margin for energy production was consistent at 35.5%.

Operating Expenses

General and administrative expenses consist of executive staff, accounting and legal expenses, office space, general insurance and other administrative expenses. General and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2020 were $2,689,461 compared to $2,655,411 for the same period in 2019, an increase of $34,050 or 1.3%.

Selling expenses consist of sales staff, commissions, marketing, travel and other selling related expenses. Selling expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2020 were $855,788 compared to $693,253 for the same period in 2019, an increase of $162,535 or 23.4%. The increase is due to larger sales commissions and other sales activities.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Consolidated working capital at March 31, 2020 was $13,921,721 compared to $14,463,579 at December 31, 2019, a decrease of $541,858. Included in working capital were cash and cash equivalents of $921,628 at March 31, 2020, compared to $877,676 at December 31, 2019, an increase of $43,952. The decrease in working capital was the result of a reduction in accounts receivable and unbilled revenue offset by the payments made on our line of credit during the quarter.

Cash provided by operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2020 was $1,118,321 compared to $611,204 for the same period in 2019. Our accounts receivable and unbilled revenue balances decreased to $12,106,440 and $5,025,835, respectively, at March 31, 2020 compared to $14,569,397 and $5,421,811 at December 31, 2019, providing $2,462,957 and $395,976 of cash due to timing of billing, shipments, and collections. In addition, inventory increased by $1,066,117, using $670,141 of cash from operations.

TECOGEN INC.

Accounts payable increased to $5,534,971 as of March 31, 2020 from $5,271,756 at December 31, 2019, providing $263,215, in cash flow from operations. Deferred revenue decreased as of March 31, 2020 compared to December 31, 2019, using $270,145 of cash from operations. The Company expects accounts payable and deferred revenue to fluctuate with routine changes in operations.

During the first three months of 2020 our investing activities used $120,395 mainly from purchases of property and of $53,674, and purchases of intangible assets of $43,250, along with distributions to the 49% noncontrolling interest holders of ADGNY LLC of $23,070.

During the first three months of 2020 our financing activities used $953,974 compared to $2,009,934 for the same period in 2019. Financing activities for the first three months of 2020 included net payments on the line of credit of $955,174 as well as proceeds from the exercise of stock options of $1,200.

As of March 31, 2020, the Company's backlog of product and installation projects, excluding service contracts, was $12.5 million, consisting of $9.8 million of purchase orders received by us and $2.7 million of projects in which the customer's internal approval process is complete, financial resources have been allocated and the customer has made a firm verbal commitment that the order is in the process of execution. Backlog at the beginning of any period is not necessarily indicative of future performance. Our presentation of backlog may differ from other companies in our industry.

On April 6, 2020, the Company filed Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to its Universal Shelf Registration that expired in December 2017 in order to deregister all unsold shares registered under the Company's Universal Shelf Registration filed in December 2014. Also on April 6, 2020, the Company filed a Universal Shelf Registration on Form S-3 to register up to $25 million of securities for potential sale in the event that the Company determines that it is advantageous to raise capital through the sale of equity in the Company. The Universal Shelf Registration filed April 6, 2020 was declared effective on April 23, 2020.

On April 17, 2020, the Company obtained an unsecured loan through Webster Bank, N.A. in the amount of $1,874,200 in connection with the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) pursuant to the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”). The loan is guaranteed by the United States Small Business Administration. Interest on the loan balance is at the rate of 1% per year, and repayment of the loan balance is deferred until November 17, 2020, at which time the balance is payable in 18 monthly installments of $104,948 with the final payment due April 17, 2022 if not forgiven in accordance with the Cares Act and the terms of the Promissory Note executed by the Company in connection with the loan. The Company intends to use the loan proceeds for payroll, rent, and utilities during the two months following April 17, 2020, and to then apply for forgiveness of the loan balance as permitted under the CARES Act and the Promissory Note.

In light of the coronavirus pandemic, we concluded that without the PPP loan the Company may not have immediate access to sufficient capital to maintain ongoing operations without furloughing employees and significantly disrupting the business. The need for the PPP loan became apparent due to a number of factors including revenue losses from a large sale return resulting from a customer's loss of funding, concern regarding potential reduction in new sales and a potential slow down in collections from customers, as well as difficulty meeting our fixed charge covenant ratio under our line of credit with Webster Bank. In addition, raising capital through equity sales in capital markets is not attractive at the current time due to a significant decline in our stock price since March 2020.

Significant Accounting Policies and Critical Estimates

The Company’s significant accounting policies are discussed in the Notes to its respective Consolidated Financial Statements in its Annual Report on Form 10-K. The accounting policies and estimates that can have a significant impact upon the operating results, financial position and footnote disclosures of the Company are described in the above notes and in the respective Annual Report.

Significant New Accounting Standards or Updates Not Yet Effective

Except for the updates to the Company's lease accounting policy for the adoption of ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases” (“the new lease standard” or “ASC 842”), the Company's critical accounting policies have remained consistent as discussed in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, filed with the SEC on March 12, 2020.

Seasonality

We expect that the majority of our heating systems sold will be operational for the winter and the majority of our chilling systems sold will be operational for the summer. Our cogeneration sales are not generally affected by seasonality. Our service team does experience higher demand in the warmer months when cooling is required. Chiller units are generally shut down in the winter and started up again in the spring. The chiller "busy season' for the service team generally runs from May through the end of September.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Currently, we do not have any material off-balance sheet arrangements, including any outstanding derivative financial instruments, off-balance sheet guarantees, interest rate swap transactions or foreign currency contracts. We do not engage in trading activities involving non-exchange traded contracts.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

Not applicable.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Management’s Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures:

The Company maintains "disclosure controls and procedures,” as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company's management, including our principal executive officer and principal accounting officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that the control system’s objectives will be met. Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Accounting Officer, after evaluating the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report, have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to a material weakness with respect to a small number of individuals dealing with general controls over information technology. Management will continue to evaluate the above weaknesses. The Company is taking steps to remediate the weaknesses as resources become available.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting:

The Company has been in the process of implementing a new computer system to remediate its material weaknesses with respect to the small number of individuals dealing with general controls over information technology. Management had the system partially implemented as of year end 2019 and continues to work on its implementation.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed under “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for our fiscal year ended December 31, 2019. The risks discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K could materially affect our business, financial condition and future results. The risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K are not the only risks facing us. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition or operating results.

Our financial condition and results of operations may be materially adversely affected by the recent 2019 novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak.The outbreak of the 2019 novel coronavirus that was first detected in Wuhan, China in December 2019 has developed into a global pandemic that could have a material and adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. These effects could include disruptions or restrictions on our employees’ ability to travel, as well as temporary closures of our manufacturing and other facilities or the facilities of our customers, suppliers, or other vendors in our supply chain. In addition, the coronavirus has resulted in a widespread health crisis that has adversely affected, and may continue to adversely affect, the economies and financial markets of many countries, resulting in an economic downturn and may result in a global recession that could affect demand for our products or our ability to obtain financing for our business or projects. Any of these events, which may result in disruptions to our supply chain or customer demand, could materially and adversely affect our business and our results of operations. The extent to which the coronavirus will impact our business and our financial results will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted. Such developments may include the geographic spread of the virus, the severity of the disease, the duration of the outbreak, the actions that may be taken by various governmental authorities in response to the outbreak, such as quarantine or “shelter-in-place” orders and business closures imposed by numerous states within the United States, and the possible impact on the U.S. or global economy. Significant portions of our business are deemed “essential services” under various state shelter-in-place orders, and we have been able to maintain critical manufacturing and service operations. There can be no assurances, however, that we will be able to maintain these operations at full or limited capacity as conditions change.The safety of our employees is our primary concern. We operate an essential service which means we must take every effort to keep our employees who operate our business safe and minimize unnecessary risk of exposure to the virus. As part of our pandemic response plan, our sales, engineering, and select administrative functions are being operated remotely while our manufacturing team continues to function. We have expanded our cleaning services for our manufacturing facility and have established protocols for sanitation upon entering or exiting the building. Our service centers continue to operate normally as part of our essential services designation. Out of an abundance of caution, we closed our Waltham facility and ceased operations for approximately one week in April 2020 for the purpose of disinfecting the facility after learning that an individual from our cleaning company tested positive for COVID-19 ten days after his last visit to our facility. We reopened the Waltham facility within a week and resumed normal operations. Our service operations will continue to function normally throughout this period.

On April 17, 2020, we were granted a loan under the Paycheck Protection Program pursuant to the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”) through Webster Bank. The loan is guaranteed by the United States Small Business Administration (“SBA”) and, subject to certain limitations, provided that employees are maintained on the payroll for eight weeks and the loan is used for payroll, rent, or utilities, the loan may be forgiven by the SBA. There can be no assurance that the Paycheck Protection Program Loan will ultimately be forgiven.

Due to the impact of the coronavirus pandemic on our customers, including the closure of certain customers' facilities and difficulties that customers may have in maintaining their business and operations during the pandemic, the Company anticipates that collections from certain existing customers may be deferred or more difficult to collect, and that there may be delays in the implementation of current projects and the completion of sales of the Company's products and services.
