1. Organization, Business Operations and Certain Recent Developments

Overview

American Virtual Cloud Technologies, Inc. (“AVCT,” the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) was incorporated in Delaware on April 7, 2016.

On April 7, 2020 (the “Computex Closing Date”), AVCT (formerly known as Pensare Acquisition Corp.) consummated a business combination transaction (the “Computex Business Combination”) in which it acquired Stratos Management Systems, Inc. (“Computex”), an operating company that does business as Computex Technology Solutions. In connection with the closing of the Computex Business Combination, the Company changed its name to American Virtual Cloud Technologies, Inc.

On December 1, 2020 (the “Kandy Closing Date”), the Company acquired the Kandy Communications business (hereafter referred to as “Kandy”) from Ribbon Communications, Inc. and certain of its affiliates (“Ribbon”), by acquiring certain assets, assuming certain liabilities of Kandy from Ribbon and acquiring all of the outstanding interests of Kandy Communications LLC.

For accounting purposes, both Computex and Kandy were considered the acquirees, and the Company was considered the acquirer. The acquisitions were accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting.

On January 27, 2022, the Company announced that it had executed a definitive agreement to sell Computex, which would complete the Company’s transition to a pure-play cloud communications and collaboration company, centered on its Kandy platform. On March 15, 2022, the sale of Computex was consummated. Net proceeds from the sale of Computex, after payment of closing and certain other obligations were used for working capital and general business purposes.

On August 25, 2022, the Company announced that it had retained Northland Capital Markets to advise the Company in connection with a comprehensive strategic review process that could lead to the sale of the Company or selected assets. No assurance can be given that the Company’s review of strategic alternatives will result in one or more transactions being entered into or consummated, or if any transaction is undertaken, as to its terms, structure or timing of such transaction. Furthermore, any ultimate sale transaction(s), if any, may require a shareholder or judicial approval process that may or may not result in such approval being obtained.

Unless otherwise noted, the discussion in these Notes to our condensed consolidated financial statements refers to our continuing operations. Refer to Note 5, Assets held for sale and operations classified as discontinued operations, for additional information.

Nature of Continuing and Discontinued Operations

Continuing Operations

The Kandy cloud communications platform is a cloud-based, real-time communications platform, offering proprietary unified communications as a service (“UCaaS”), communications platform as a service (“CPaaS”), Microsoft Teams Direct Routing as a Service (“DRaaS”), and SIP Trunking as a Service capabilities (“STaaS”). Kandy is considered to be a pure-play provider of such offerings for enterprise customers.

As a provider of cloud-based enterprise services, Kandy deploys a global carrier grade cloud communications platform that supports the digital and cloud transformation of mid-market and enterprise customers across virtually any device, on virtually any network, in virtually any location. The Kandy platform is based on a powerful, proprietary multi-tenant, highly scalable, and secure cloud platform that includes pre-built customer engagement tools, based on web real-time communications technology (“WebRTC technology”) that enables frictionless communications. Further, Kandy supports rapid service creation and multiple go to market models including white labelling, multi-tier channel distribution, enterprise direct, and self-service via its SaaS (software as a service) web portals.

Kandy’s cloud-based, real-time communications platform enables service providers, enterprises, software vendors, systems integrators, partners and developers to enrich their applications and their services with real-time contextual communications empowering the API (Application Programming Interface) economy. With Kandy’s platform, companies of various sizes and types can quickly embed real-time communications capabilities into their existing applications and business processes, providing a more engaging user experience.

While the cloud communications business is focused on highly complex, medium and large enterprise deployments, the customer experience is augmented by our managed services capabilities. In addition, our strategic partnerships with companies such as AT&T, IBM/Kyndryl, and Etisalat, give us access to a marquee customer base and the ability to sell end-to-end solutions.

Discontinued Operations

Computex, classified within discontinued operations, is a leading multi-brand technology solutions provider to large global customers, providing a comprehensive and integrated set of technology solutions, through its extensive hardware, software and value-added service offerings.

Reverse Stock Split

On September 30, 2022, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment of the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware (the “Certificate of Amendment”), which effected, upon filing on September 30, 2022 (the “Effective Stock Split Date”), a one-for-fifteen reverse stock split (the “Reverse Stock Split”) of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of common stock. In connection with the Reverse Stock Split, the CUSIP number (Committee on Uniform Securities Identification Procedures number) for the Company’s common stock changed.

As a result of the Reverse Stock Split, each share of the Company’s common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Stock Split Date was automatically reclassified as and converted into one-fifteenth (1/15) of a share of the Company’s common stock. The Reverse Stock Split affected all stockholders uniformly and did not alter any stockholder’s percentage interest in the Company’s equity, except to the extent that the Reverse Stock Split resulted in some stockholders owning a fractional share. No fractional shares were issued in connection with the Reverse Stock Split. Instead, stockholders who would otherwise have been entitled to fractional shares of the Company’s common stock became entitled to receive cash payments in lieu of such fractional shares.

(In thousands, except share and per share data, or as otherwise noted)

September 30, 2022

(Unaudited)

The Reverse Stock Split did not change the par value of the Company’s common stock nor the authorized number of shares. All outstanding warrants and preferred stock entitling their holders to purchase, obtain or convert into shares of the Company’s common stock were adjusted, as required by the terms of such securities. The Company’s common stock began trading on a Reverse Stock Split-adjusted basis when the market opened on October 3, 2022.

The Reverse Stock Split has been retroactively reflected throughout this report, including in the computation of basic and diluted earnings/loss per common share, which has been adjusted retroactively for all periods presented.

Recent Financing Transactions

On December 2, 2021, the Company entered into the Credit Agreement with Monroe for a $27,000 Credit Facility (as such terms are defined in Note 7), part of which was used to pay off amounts owing under a prior credit agreement which was assumed as part of the acquisition of Computex. The remainder of the proceeds from the Credit Facility were scheduled to be used for working capital and general business purposes. However, on March 1, 2022, all amounts owing under the Credit Agreement were repaid from the proceeds of a securities sale executed on March 1, 2022, along with a portion of cash on hand.

The net proceeds from the sale of Computex, after payment of closing and certain other obligations were used for working capital and general business purposes.

As more fully discussed in Note 8, between November 2021 and October 2022, the Company completed a number of financing transactions, including amendments to certain such financing arrangements.

In addition, on August 29, 2022, the Company entered into a settlement agreement (the “Ribbon Settlement Agreement”) with Ribbon, pursuant to which the Company and Ribbon modified and/or terminated certain previous agreements between the parties (See Note 9), and on October 20, 2022, entered into an amended agreement with a significant supplier, that resulted in the conversion of a trade payable balance to a promissory note (See Note 7).

Nasdaq Notices

Our common stock and public warrants are currently listed on the Nasdaq.

On May 20, 2022, we received a written notice from the Nasdaq indicating that we were not in compliance with the Nasdaq Listing Rule which requires us to maintain a minimum bid price of $1.00 per share. Such notice had provided us with a period of 180 calendar days, or until November 16, 2022, to regain compliance by maintaining a minimum bid price of $1.00 per share for at least ten consecutive business days.

On September 30, 2022, the Reverse Stock Split was completed, as a result of which the Company subsequently regained compliance with the minimum share price requirement, as confirmed in a letter from the Nasdaq which the Company received on October 18, 2022.

On July 27, 2022, we received a written notice from the Nasdaq notifying us that for 30 consecutive business days, the Company’s Minimum Value of Listed Securities (“MVLS”) was below the minimum of $35 million that was required for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market pursuant to Nasdaq listing rule 5550(b)(2), and providing us with a period of 180 calendar days, or until January 23, 2023, to regain compliance by having a closing MVLS of at least $35 million for at least ten consecutive business days (or such longer period of time as the Nasdaq staff may require in some circumstances, but generally not more than 20 consecutive business days). We intend to continue to monitor our MLVS. If our common stock does not trade at a level that is likely to regain compliance with the Nasdaq requirements, our board of directors may consider other options that may be available to achieve compliance.

We cannot provide assurance that we will be able to demonstrate compliance with the MVLS listing rule described above by the applicable deadline, in which case our common stock may then be subject to delisting.

Covid-19

The novel strain of coronavirus (“COVID-19”) continues to significantly impact local, regional, and global economies, businesses, supply chains, production and sales across a range of industries. The extent of its impact on our operational and financial performance is uncertain and difficult to predict and we remain cautious about the global recovery.

To protect the health and safety of our employees, our daily execution has evolved into a largely virtual model. However, we have found ways to continue to engage with and assist our customers and partners as they work to navigate the current environment. We will continue to monitor the current environment and may take further actions that may be required by federal, state or local authorities or that we determine to be in the interests of our employees, customers, and partners.

2. Liquidity

Historically, the Company’s primary sources of liquidity have been cash and cash equivalents, cash flows from operations (when available) and cash flows from financing activities, including funding under credit agreements and the sale of equity securities. As of September 30, 2022, the Company had an aggregate cash balance of $10,747 in its operating bank accounts and net working capital of $14,402. As of November 10, 2022, aggregate cash in the Company’s operating bank accounts was $16,951.

The Company currently projects that it will need additional capital to fund its current operations including research & development and capital investment requirements until the Company scales to a revenue level that permits cash self-sufficiency. This projection is based on the Company’s current expectations regarding product sales and service, cost structure, cash burn rate and other operating assumptions. The sources of this capital are anticipated to be from the sale of equity and/or debt. Alternatively, or in addition, the Company may seek to sell additional assets or portions of its business. Any of the foregoing may not be achievable on favorable terms, if at all, and may require the consent of equity holders and/or holders of any debt we may incur in the future, or may require modification of existing agreements, which may or may not be granted. Additionally, any debt or equity transactions may cause significant dilution to existing stockholders.

If the Company is unable to raise additional capital moving forward, its ability to operate in the normal course and continue to invest in its product portfolio may be negatively impacted and the Company may be forced to scale back operations or divest some or all of its products.

These factors raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. Unless management is able to obtain additional financing, it is unlikely that the Company will be able to meet its funding requirements during the next 12 months. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are presented in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information or footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC for interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes necessary for a comprehensive presentation of financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. In the opinion of management, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, which are necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, operating results and cash flows for the periods presented.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - CONTINUED

(In thousands, except share and per share data, or as otherwise noted)

September 30, 2022

(Unaudited)

These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, as filed with the SEC on April 15, 2022. The interim results for the period ended September 30, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the year ending December 31, 2022 or any future interim periods.

The Company has reclassified certain prior period amounts, including the results of discontinued operations, reportable segment information and shares of common stock, to conform to the current period presentation. Unless otherwise indicated, amounts provided in these Notes pertain to the Company’s continuing operations. See Note 5, Assets held for sale and operations classified as discontinued, for additional information.

Principles of consolidation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of AVCT and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

Use of estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP 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 sales (or revenues) and expenses during the reporting period.

Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that estimates made as of the date of the financial statements could change in the near term due to one or more future events. Accordingly, the actual results could differ significantly from those estimates. Significant accounting estimates reflected in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements include, but are not limited to, revenue recognition, allowance for doubtful accounts, accounting for warrants, recognition and measurement of income tax assets, valuation of share-based compensation, discount related to the fair value of warrants, and the valuation of net assets acquired.

Significant accounting policies

The significant accounting policies used in preparing these condensed consolidated financial statements were applied on a basis consistent with those reflected in our consolidated financial statements that are included in the annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 that was filed with the SEC on April 15, 2022.

Concentration of business and credit risk

Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk, consist primarily of cash and trade receivables. Cash held by the Company in financial institutions regularly exceeds the federally insured limit of $250. At September 30, 2022, cash balances held with a financial institution exceeded the federally insured limit. However, management does not believe this poses a significant credit risk. Concentration of business risks are summarized in the following table:

Trade receivables, net

Trade receivables on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets are net of allowances of $739 and $147, as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

Fair value of financial instruments

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities required or permitted to be recorded at fair value, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which it would transact, and it considers assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability.

ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures provides a fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. The level in the hierarchy within which the fair value measurement in its entirety falls is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement as follows:

Assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis include goodwill, tangible and intangible assets. Such assets are reviewed annually for impairment indicators. If a triggering event has occurred, the assets are re-measured when the estimated fair value of the corresponding asset group is less than the carrying value. The fair value measurements, in such instances, are based on significant unobservable inputs (Level 3).

AMERICAN VIRTUAL CLOUD TECHNOLOGIES, INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - CONTINUED

(In thousands, except share and per share data, or as otherwise noted)

September 30, 2022

(Unaudited)

The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments, which include trade receivables, deposits, accounts payable and accrued expenses and debt at floating interest rates, approximate their fair values, principally due to their short-term nature, maturities or nature of interest rates.

The fair values of warrant liabilities are reflected on the condensed consolidated balance sheets as “Warrant Liabilities.”

The fair values of certain warrants issued in 2017 (the “2017 Private Placement Warrants”) were determined using the Black-Scholes model in which the following weighted average assumptions were used for the valuations performed as of September 30, 2022:

The valuations of the warrant liabilities are considered to be Level 2 valuations.

Change in Segment reporting

Effective January 1, 2021, the Company identified two operating segments, Computex and Kandy, pursuant to ASC 280, Segment Reporting, consistent with the information that was presented to the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”). With the sale of Computex during the first quarter of the current year, the Company began operating as one reportable segment beginning in the second quarter of 2022.

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net identifiable assets acquired in a business combination. Goodwill is reviewed for impairment at least annually, in December, or more frequently if a triggering event occurs between impairment testing dates.

The Company’s impairment assessment begins with a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying value. Qualitative factors may include, macroeconomic conditions, industry and market considerations, cost factors, and other relevant entity and Company specific events. If, based on the qualitative test, the Company determines that it is “more likely than not” that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value, then the Company evaluates goodwill for impairment by reviewing the fair value of the reporting unit versus its respective carrying value, including its goodwill. If it is determined that it is “not likely” that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying value, then no further testing is required.

The selection and assessment of qualitative factors used to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit exceeds the carrying value involves significant judgment and estimates. Fair values may be determined using a combination of both income and market-based approaches.

Goodwill in the Kandy operating segment was recognized as a result of the Kandy Business Combination in December 2020, at which time approximately $24,144 of goodwill was attributed to the Kandy reporting unit. Subsequently, in the fourth quarter of 2021, as part of the Company’s annual impairment analysis, the Company recorded an impairment charge of approximately $13,676 to Kandy’s goodwill.

September 30, 2022

(Unaudited)

During the second quarter of 2022, the Company concluded that a triggering event had occurred in the Company’s sole reporting unit, comprised of Kandy, as a result of declining financial performance coupled with changes in market conditions. Therefore, the Company conducted both qualitative and quantitative assessments and determined that it was appropriate to write off the entire remaining goodwill of $10,468. Therefore, the Company recognized a non-cash impairment charge of $10,468 during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and therefore goodwill activity was as follows:

The selection and assessment of qualitative factors used to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit exceeds the carrying value involves significant judgment and estimates. Fair values may be determined using a combination of both income and market-based approaches.

Emerging growth company

The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (the “Securities Act”), as modified by the Jumpstart our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”), and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.

Further, Section 102(b) (1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. Private companies are those companies that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period, which means that when a standard is issued or revised, it adopts the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard, unless it chooses to early-adopt the new or revised accounting standard. Therefore, the Company’s financial statements may not be comparable to certain public companies.

4. Recently Issued and Adopted Accounting Standards

Recently issued accounting standards

In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-02, Leases (ASC 842), as amended by multiple updates, hereafter ASC 842. ASC 842 requires lessees to recognize, on the balance sheet, a lease liability and a lease asset for all leases, including operating leases with a lease term greater than 12 months and requires lessors to classify leases as either sales-type, direct financing or operating. ASC 842 also expands the required quantitative and qualitative disclosures surrounding leases. As long as the Company is an emerging growth company, the current effective date of adoption is fiscal year 2023, which is the required date of adoption for private companies. Early adoption is permitted. While the Company continues to assess the effects of adoption, it currently believes the most significant effects relate to the recognition, on the consolidated balance sheet, of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities related to operating leases.

(In thousands, except share and per share data, or as otherwise noted)

September 30, 2022

(Unaudited)

The Company does not believe other recently issued but not yet effective accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets, statements of changes in equity, statements of operations and statements of cash flows.

Recently adopted accounting standards

Effective July 1, 2021, the Company adopted ASU No. 2017-04, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (Topic 350) Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment, which simplifies the subsequent measurement of goodwill by eliminating Step 2 of goodwill impairment tests. The adoption did not materially impact the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In May 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-04, Issuer’s Accounting for Certain Modifications or Exchanges of Freestanding Equity-Classified Written Call Options (“ASU No. 2021-04”), which provides guidance for a modification or an exchange of a freestanding equity-classified written call option that is not within the scope of another Topic. Under ASU 2021-04, an entity is required to treat a modification of the terms or conditions or an exchange of a freestanding equity-classified written call option, that remains equity classified, as an exchange of the original instrument for a new instrument. ASU 2021-04 also provides guidance on the measurement of the effect of a modification or exchange and requires entities to recognize the effect of any such modification or exchange on the basis of the substance of the transaction.

Entities were required to apply the amendments prospectively to modifications or exchanges that occur on or after the effective date. ASU No. 2021-04 was effective for the Company on January 1, 2022. The adoption had no significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (“ASU No. 2019-12”), which simplifies the accounting for income taxes by eliminating certain exceptions to the guidance in ASC 740 related to the approach for intraperiod tax allocation, the methodology for calculating income taxes in an interim period and the recognition of deferred tax liabilities for outside basis differences.  The new guidance also simplifies aspects of the accounting for franchise taxes and enacted changes in tax laws or rates and clarifies the accounting for transactions that result in a step-up in the tax basis of goodwill. It clarifies that single-member limited liability companies and similar disregarded entities that are not subject to income tax are not required to recognize an allocation of consolidated income tax expense in their separate financial statements, but they could elect to do so.

ASU No. 2019-12 allows companies to treat tax law changes as intraperiod items, rather than as discrete items within the interim period. The adoption of ASU No. 2019-12, which was effective for the Company during the first quarter of the current year, had no significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.

5. Assets held for sale and operations classified as discontinued operations

On September 16, 2021, the Company issued a press release announcing that as a result of a decision by the Company’s Board of Directors to explore strategic alternatives previously announced on April 7, 2021, the Board had authorized the Company to focus its strategy on acquisitions and organic growth in its cloud technologies business as well as to explore strategic opportunities for its IT solutions business, including the divestiture of Computex. The Company believed that the change would allow the Company to optimize resource allocation, focus on core competencies, and improve its ability to invest in areas of maximal growth potential.

On January 26, 2022, the Company entered into an asset purchase agreement to sell substantially all of the assets of its Computex business. Net sale proceeds received for the sale of substantially all of the assets and liabilities of Computex was $32,112.

Accounts payable and accrued expenses were as follows as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021:

7. Long-Term Debt

Credit Agreement

On December 2, 2021, the Company entered into a $27,000 term loan facility (the “Credit Facility”) under a Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with Monroe Capital Management Advisors, LLC and certain affiliated entities (“Monroe”), proceeds of which were used, in part, to repay amounts owing under a prior credit agreement, which the Company had assumed when it acquired Computex.

On March 1, 2022, all amounts owing under the Credit Agreement were repaid in full, including related accrued interest and other charges.

The Credit Facility was scheduled to mature on the earlier of (i) December 2, 2022 and (ii) the date on which the Computex sale was consummated. As part of the Credit Agreement, the Company was required to comply with certain sales milestone terms, conditions and timeframes in connection with the then-pending sale of Computex. In connection with such sales milestone requirements, the Company paid amendment fees of $920 on January 18, 2022 as it was apparent that certain of the milestone dates for the closing of the Computex sale were not going to be met.

Loans under the Credit Facility previously bore interest at a rate equal to, at the Company’s option, either the Base Rate for the interest period in effect for such borrowing plus 10.00% per annum, or the LIBOR Rate for the interest period in effect for such borrowing plus 11.00% per annum. Notwithstanding such interest rates, Monroe was guaranteed a minimum return of $7,290, including a closing fee of $675 that was paid to the administrative agent on the closing date. Additional fees would have been payable if the Credit Facility was not repaid in full by certain dates.

In connection with the closing of the Credit Facility and pursuant to a subscription agreement, the Company issued, to certain funds affiliated with Monroe, warrants to purchase certain shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.0015 per share (the “Monroe Warrants”). The number of shares of the Company’s common stock issuable upon exercise of the Monroe Warrants is subject to, in addition to customary adjustments for stock dividends, stock splits, reclassifications and the like, adjustment for certain issuances (or deemed issuances) of the Company’s common stock at a price per share below $23.46 while the Monroe Warrants are outstanding, such that the Monroe Warrants will remain exercisable for, in the aggregate, approximately 2.5% of the total number of shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding, calculated on a fully-diluted basis. The Monroe Warrants were exercisable starting on the date of issuance and are scheduled to expire on January 31, 2029. The Monroe Warrants were exercisable for an aggregate of 687,587 shares of common stock as of September 30, 2022.

Total long-term debt consisted of the following:  

Subordinated promissory note – related party

On September 16, 2021, the Company entered into a promissory note in the principal amount of $5,000 (the “2021 Note”). The 2021 Note, which was secured by an affiliate of a shareholder that owns more than five percent of the Company’s shares, was originally scheduled to mature on the earliest of (a) September 16, 2022, (b) the Company’s consummation of a debt financing resulting in the receipt of gross proceeds of not less than $20,000, (c) the Company’s consummation of primary sales of registered equity securities resulting in the receipt of gross proceeds of not less than $20,000, (d) the Company’s consummation of the sale of Computex and (e) the date of any event of default. However, in connection with the closing of the Credit Facility, the 2021 Note was amended to, among other things, revise the definition of the maturity date so that the consummation of the Credit Agreement would not have resulted in the maturity of the 2021 Note. In consideration of the amendment, the Company paid the lender an amendment fee in the amount of $1,250.

The amended maturity date of the 2021 Note was scheduled to be the earliest of (a) September 16, 2022, (b) the Company’s consummation of primary sales of registered equity securities resulting in the receipt of gross proceeds of not less than $20,000 (c) the consummation of the sale of the Computex business unit and (d) the date of any event of default, subject to extension if the Credit Agreement was not paid off as of such date. The 2021 Note became due on March 1, 2022 due to the Company’s sale of registered and equity securities and the early pay off of the Credit Agreement. However, for a waiver fee of $250, the lender extended the maturity date to May 1, 2022. On March 15, 2022, all amounts outstanding under the 2021 Note were paid. The 2021 Note had a minimum required return of 25.00%.

October 2022 promissory note

On October 20, 2022, the Company entered into an amended agreement with a significant supplier, that resulted in the conversion of a trade payable balance to a promissory note having a principal balance of approximately $2,430. Such promissory note is due on the earlier of (i) March 31, 2023; (ii) a sale transaction by the Company requiring shareholder approval, including a transfer of a majority of the Company’s capital stock or (iii) a payment default by the Company. The promissory note is unsecured and bears interest at a rate of 6% per annum, compounded semi-annually. Additionally, the amended agreement provides for new payment terms, with a $400 monthly prepayment towards actual costs incurred. Any excess of that prepayment over actual costs results in a reduction of the promissory note balance, while any excess of actual costs over the $400 monthly payment is to be added to such promissory note. The amended agreement also contains certain changes to notice provision clauses with respect to work force reductions as well as new loaded labor rates.

8. Stockholders’ Equity (Deficit), Related Warrants, Securities, Debentures and Guaranty

Preferred stock

During the first quarter of 2022, the Board of Directors created and established a new series of preferred stock, designated as “Series B Convertible Preferred Stock” (the “Series B Preferred Stock”). The authorized number of shares of the Series B Preferred Stock was established at 21,500 with a par value of $0.0001 per share. The number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock issued during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was 16,125, none of which were outstanding as of September 30, 2022. The Series B Preferred Stock that were issued during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 were mandatorily redeemable and are further discussed below.

Common stock

The Company is authorized to issue 500,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $0.0001 per share. Holders of the Company’s common stock are entitled to one vote for each share.

On September 30, 2022, the Company filed the Certificate of Amendment with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, which effected a one-for-fifteen reverse stock split of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of common stock. The Reverse Stock Split, which has been retroactively reflected throughout this report, did not change the par value of the Company’s common stock nor the authorized number of shares.

As of September 30, 2022, a total of 24,605,474 shares of the Company’s common stock were issued and outstanding.

Recent sales of securities

The November Purchase Agreement

On November 2, 2021, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “November Purchase Agreement”) with a buyer for the purchase and sale of (i) a warrant to purchase up to 333,333 shares (at the time) of the Company’s common stock, subject to increases as described below (the “Series A Warrants”), in a private placement; and (ii) an aggregate of 166,666 shares of the Company’s common stock, and a warrant to purchase up to 166,666 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Series B Warrants” and, collectively with the Series A Warrants, the “A&B Warrants,” in a registered direct offering. The aggregate purchase price for the shares and the A&B Warrants was $5,000.

Upon any exercise of the Series B Warrant, the number of shares issuable upon exercise of the Series A Warrant increased by the number of shares of the Company’s common stock issued upon exercise of the Series B Warrant. Northland Securities, Inc. (the “Placement Agent”) received fees of 7% of the aggregate gross proceeds.

In connection with the Company’s consummation of the Credit Agreement, the exercise price of the A&B Warrants were subsequently reduced by 25%, the number of warrants were increased and the buyers received certain newly-issued warrants (the “Series C Warrants”). As of the date of such modification, the Company recognized a change in fair value of the warrant liabilities equal to the excess of the fair value of the modified instrument over the previous fair value. The fair value of the Series C Warrants as of the issuance date was considered to be analogous to a financing charge and was included in interest expense.

The December 2021 securities sale

On December 15, 2021, the Company consummated the sale of certain securities pursuant to a securities purchase agreement, dated as of December 13, 2021 between the Company and an investor (the “Buyer”). At the closing, the Company issued to the Buyer (i) a warrant (the “Series D Warrant”) to purchase up to 1,041,666 shares of the Company’s common stock, in a private placement; and (ii) an aggregate of 522,666 shares of the Company’s common stock, and 12,456 shares of Series A Preferred Stock (“Series A Preferred”) with a stated value of $1,000 per share, initially convertible into 519,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, in a registered direct offering. The aggregate purchase price paid at the closing for the common stock, the Series A Preferred and the Series D Warrants was $25,000.

The initial exercise price of the Series D Warrants were subject to customary adjustments for stock dividends, stock splits, reclassifications and the like, and were subject to price-based adjustment, on a “full ratchet” basis, in the event of any issuances of the Company’s common stock, or securities convertible, exercisable or exchangeable for, common stock at a price below the then-applicable exercise price (subject to certain exceptions).

The Series A Preferred shares were convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at the election of the holders at any time at an initial conversion price of $1.60. In December 2021, the holders of the Series A Preferred exercised their conversion rights and the Series A Preferred Shares were converted to 519,000 shares of the Company’s common stock.

February 2022 Purchase Agreement

On February 28, 2022, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “February 2022 Purchase Agreement”) with a buyer for the purchase and sale of (i) an aggregate of up to 21,500 shares of Series B Preferred Stock with a stated value of $1,000 per share, initially convertible into up to 1,433,333 shares of the Company’s common stock and (ii) warrants (the “February 2022 Warrants”) to purchase up to that number of shares of the Company’s common stock equal to the number of shares of the Company’s common stock into which the shares of Series B Preferred Stock actually sold pursuant to the purchase agreement were initially convertible, in a registered direct offering.

Pursuant to the February 2022 Purchase Agreement, an aggregate of 16,125 shares of Series B Preferred Stock, initially convertible into 1,075,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, together with the February 2022 Warrants, initially exercisable for 1,075,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, were issued and sold at an initial closing on March 1, 2022 (the “Initial Closing”). The aggregate purchase price paid for the Series B Preferred Stock and the February 2022 Warrants at the Initial Closing was $15,000. The remaining 5,375 Preferred Shares were never issued by the Company and any rights that the Company had to require such a purchase subsequently expired.

On March 1, 2022, the Company consummated the Initial Closing in which the Company issued to the buyer (i) 16,125 Series B Preferred Stock with a stated value of $1,000 per share, initially convertible into up to 1,075,000 shares of the Company’s common stock and (ii) the February 2022 Warrants that were initially exercisable for up to 1,075,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, in a registered direct offering.

As a result of the issuance of the Series B Preferred Stock and February 2022 Warrants, the exercise price of the Series A Warrants, the Series B Warrants and the Series D Warrants previously issued by the Company to an affiliate of the buyer was automatically reduced by 33.3% (with a proportional increase to the number of shares of the Company’s common stock issuable upon exercise of such warrants).

The Series B Preferred Stock was convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at the election of the holder with the conversion price being subject to customary adjustments for stock dividends, stock splits, reclassifications and the like, and subject to price-based adjustment, on a “full ratchet” basis, in the event of any issuances of the Company’s common stock, or securities convertible, exercisable or exchangeable for, the Company’s common stock at a price below the then-applicable Conversion Price (subject to certain exceptions). The Company was required to redeem the Series B Preferred Stock in 12 equal monthly installments, commencing on April 1, 2022. Subject to certain conditions, including certain equity conditions, the Company could redeem the applicable number of Series B Preferred Stock on each monthly redemption date either in cash, shares of the Company’s common stock or a combination. The number of shares used to redeem any Series B Preferred Stock in such event would be calculated as 88% of the lowest daily volume weighted average price of the Company’s common stock during the eight trading days immediately prior to the payment date.

(Unaudited)

Based on an evaluation of ASC 480, the Company had classified the Series B Preferred Stock as stock settled debt and therefore recorded the instrument as a liability on the issuance date, as the instrument was mandatorily redeemable and thus (1) embodies an unconditional obligation (2) required the Company to settle the unconditional obligation in cash or by issuing a variable number of its common shares and (3) is based on a monetary amount known at inception.

The exercise price of the February 2022 Warrants were subject to customary adjustments for stock dividends, stock splits, reclassifications and the like, and subject to price-based adjustment, on a “full ratchet” basis, in the event of any issuances of the Company’s common stock, or securities convertible, exercisable or exchangeable for, the Company’s common stock at a price below the then-applicable exercise price (subject to certain exceptions).

All of the outstanding shares of the Series B Preferred Stock have since been converted. Of the $16,125 principal, $14,781 was converted into 4,089,594 shares and $1,344 was paid in cash. Certain installments were based on exercises of the buyer’s acceleration right with respect to installment payments.

April 2022 Purchase Agreement

On April 14, 2022, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “April 2022 Purchase Agreement”) with a buyer affiliated with a greater than 5% stockholder for the purchase and sale of a new series of senior secured convertible notes of the Company, in the aggregate original principal amount of $12,000 (the “Convertible Notes”). The transaction was funded on April 19, 2022. The Convertible Notes were convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock. The purchase price of the Convertible Notes was $10,000 and net proceeds received totaled $9,950.

The Convertible Notes were scheduled to mature on October 1, 2023. Interest was only payable if there was an event of default, which would have resulted in interest at the rate of 15.00% per annum. The Company was required to redeem $800 of the outstanding amounts under the Convertible Notes on a monthly basis, commencing on August 1, 2022, until the maturity date of October 1, 2023. Subject to certain conditions, including certain equity conditions, the Company was permitted to pay the amount due on each monthly redemption date, and the amount due at maturity, either in cash, shares of the Company’s common stock or a combination. The number of shares used to pay any portion of the Convertible Notes was generally calculated as 88% of the lowest daily volume weighted average price of the common stock during the eight trading days immediately prior to the payment date.

The full principal amount of $12,000 due under the Convertible Notes have since been satisfied with shares of common stock, with 5,513,138 issued during the three months ended September 30, 2022, and 349,109 issued in October 2022.

Based on ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”), the convertible feature of the Convertible Note was considered to be a derivative but was considered to have met the scope exception in ASC 815 and therefore was not bifurcated from the host instrument. However, embedded derivatives were assessed with respect to the probability of events of default and the probability of a change of control in relation to the Convertible Note. Such derivatives were assessed at an aggregate estimated value of $721 as of the issuance date of the Convertible Note and were recorded as derivative liabilities as of the issuance date with a corresponding discount reflected in the Convertible Note. During the third quarter of 2022, the Convertible Note was fully satisfied and therefore the related derivative had no value as of September 30, 2022.

Registration rights agreements

In connection with the November and December sales of securities and the Credit Agreement with Monroe, the Company entered into certain registration rights agreements with the investors to register the common stock underlying the warrants by specified dates and to use reasonable best efforts to cause such registration statements to be declared effective under the Securities Act, as soon as practicable, thereafter, subject to certain fees if the shares were not registered by certain dates. As of February 9, 2022, all such shares were registered. In connection with the April 2022 sale of Convertible Notes, the Company entered into a substantially similar registration rights agreement with the purchaser of the Convertible Notes with respect to the registration for resale of the shares of common stock into which the Convertible Notes are convertible. As of June 1, 2022, all such shares were registered.

See discussion above regarding registration rights agreement relating to the shares underlying the warrants issued as part of the October 2022 Sale of Securities.

On April 7, 2020, the Company, Pensare Sponsor Group, LLC (the “Sponsor”) and certain other initial stockholders of the Company, as well as Stratos Management Systems Holdings, LLC, (“Holdings”), and certain other Investors (as defined below), entered into a Registration Rights Agreement (the “2020 Registration Rights Agreement”). The 2020 Registration Rights Agreement amended, restated and replaced a previous registration rights agreement entered into among AVCT, the Sponsor and certain other initial stockholders of AVCT on July 27, 2017. Pursuant to the terms of the 2020 Registration Rights Agreement, the holders of certain of the Company’s securities, including holders of the Company’s founders’ shares, shares of common stock underlying the Company’s private warrants, shares of common stock underlying the securities issued in the 2020 Private Placement (as defined below) are entitled to certain registration rights under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws with respect to such shares of common stock, including up to eight demand registrations in the aggregate and customary “piggy-back” registration rights.

Convertible Debentures, related warrants and guaranty

On April 7, 2020, the Company consummated the sale, in a private placement (the “2020 Private Placement”), of units of securities of the Company (“Units”) to certain investors (each, an “Investor”), as contemplated by the terms of the previously disclosed Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of April 3, 2020 (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”). Each Unit consisted of (i) $1,000 in principal amount of the Company’s Series A convertible debentures (the “Convertible Debentures” or “Debentures”) and (ii) a warrant to purchase 6 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.15 per whole share (the “Penny Warrants”). The issuances of such securities were not registered under the Securities Act in reliance on the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act.

In addition, in connection with the acquisition of Kandy on December 1, 2020 and pursuant to the terms of the Kandy purchase agreement, the Company, in December 2020, issued 43,778 Units to Ribbon as consideration for the Kandy purchase, sold 10,000 Units to SPAC Opportunity Partners, LLC, a significant shareholder of the Company, and 1,000 Units to a director of the Company.

September 30, 2022

(Unaudited)

The Penny Warrants issued in December 2020, as part of the Units sold, entitled the holders to purchase an aggregate of up to 365,186 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.15 per share. Such warrants consisted of 291,853 warrants issued to Ribbon, 66,666 warrants issued to SPAC Opportunity Partners, LLC and 6,666 warrants issued to a director of the Company.

The Penny Warrants issued between January 1, 2021 and May 27, 2021, as part of the Units sold during that period, entitled the holders to purchase an aggregate of up to 160,000 warrants (including 63,000 warrants issued to related parties).

The Penny Warrants are exercisable at any time through the fifth anniversary of the date of issuance. The number of shares issuable upon exercise of each Penny Warrant is subject to customary adjustments for stock dividends, stock splits, reclassifications and the like and have been adjusted to reflect the Reverse Stock Split.

Starting in 2021 and pursuant to the terms of the Penny Warrant agreements, holders of 445,604 Penny Warrants exercised their right to convert such Penny Warrants to 444,553 shares of common stock and 291,853 Penny Warrants were cancelled as part of the Ribbon Settlement. As of September 30, 2022, unexercised Penny Warrants totaled 75,525.

Derivative consideration and other disclosures relating to the Debentures and Penny Warrants

Based on ASC 815, the convertible feature of the Debentures issued on April 7, 2020 was not considered a derivative and therefore was not recorded in liabilities, as part of the Debentures, and was not bifurcated. However, an embedded beneficial conversion feature was previously assessed in relation to the Debentures issued in December 2020 and was previously recorded in equity at its intrinsic value with a corresponding debt discount recorded to the Debentures at December 31, 2020. The beneficial conversion feature on such Debentures, which was evaluated in accordance with ASC 470-20 “Debt with Conversion and Other Options” was determined to be $36,983 and arose as a result of the conversion price of such Debentures being below the stock price on the issuance dates. Such debt discount, that was related to the embedded beneficial conversion feature, was limited to the proceeds allocated to the Debentures, and, along with the relative fair value of the Penny Warrants, was recognized as additional paid-in capital and reduced the carrying value of the Convertible Debentures. However, as more fully discussed in Note 4, effective January 1, 2021, the Company early-adopted ASU 2020-06 and, accordingly, the discount related to the beneficial conversion feature was reversed effective January 1, 2021.

Both the Penny Warrants issued on April 7, 2020 as well as the Penny Warrants issued on and after the Kandy acquisition date had qualified as derivatives, but satisfied the criteria for classification as equity instruments, and were bifurcated from the host contract (the Convertible Debentures) and recorded in equity at their relative fair values with a corresponding debt discount recorded to the Debentures.

Prior to the conversion of the Debentures to common stock, the discount (consisting of the relative fair value of the warrants) was being expensed as interest over the then term of the Debentures to increase the carrying value to face value. However, effective September 8, 2021, the remaining unamortized discount was transferred to additional paid in capital in connection with the conversion of the Debentures to shares of common stock. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company recorded accretion of the discount of $2,792 and $9,253, respectively, and paid-in-kind interest of $2,518 and $8,257, respectively.

Services provided by Navigation Capital Partners, Inc.

Effective October 1, 2020, the Company and Navigation Capital Partners, Inc. (“Navigation”), an affiliate of a significant shareholder, entered into an agreement whereby, Navigation provided capital markets advisory and business consulting services to the Company for a fee of $50 per month.

In addition, the Company’s then President, Kevin Keough, and Mr. Robert Willis, a Company director and Vice Chairman of Capital Markets, provided such services to the Company via Navigation.

10. Revenue Recognition

In the following tables, revenue is disaggregated by geographies and by verticals (or sector).

Revenues by geography, in the table above, is generally based on the “ship-to address,” with the exception of certain services that may be performed at, or on behalf of, multiple locations, which are categorized based on the “bill-to address.”

Contract liabilities and remaining performance obligations

The Company’s contract liabilities are reported in a net position on a contract-by-contract basis at the end of each reporting period. At September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the contract liability balance (deferred revenue) was $25 and $82, respectively. All of the performance obligations related to such deferred revenue as of September 30, 2022 are expected to be performed within 12 months and consist of payments received from customers, or such consideration that is contractually due, in advance of providing the product or performing the services.

11. Share-Based Compensation

The American Virtual Cloud Technologies, Inc. 2020 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) provides for the issuance of stock options, stock appreciation rights, RSUs and other share-based awards. Stock options have a maximum term of ten years from the grant date.

As of September 30, 2022, a total of 666,666 shares had been authorized for issuance under the Plan, of which 263,887 shares remained available for issuance. The RSUs were issued to certain directors, employees and, in one case, a contractor, and can only be settled in shares. RSUs awarded to directors are time-based. RSUs issued to non-directors are 50% time-based and 50% performance-based. Generally, the awards vest over 3 or 4 years. The time-based awards vest on each grant date anniversary, while the performance-based awards vests on December 31^st of each year, if the market condition (stock price target) is met. If the market condition attached to the performance-based awards is not met in any year, the eligibility is delayed until the market condition is met, except that the market condition must be met by the second anniversary of the first target date, in the case of awards that vest over 3 years, and by the third anniversary of the first target date, for those awards that vest over 4 years.

14. Commitments and Contingencies

Registration Rights

See Note 8 for a discussion of certain registration rights.

Contingencies

The Company continues to explore strategic opportunities, including the rationalization of resource allocation and core competencies, while seeking to focus on areas with growth potential.

Termination of any such contracts could result in breakage costs, which would negatively impact the Company’s results of operations, financial position and cash flows.

From time to time, the Company may be involved in various legal proceedings and claims in the ordinary course of business. As of September 30, 2022, and through the filing date of this report, the Company does not believe the resolution of any legal proceedings or claims of which it is aware or any potential actions will have a material effect on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Overview

We are a Delaware-incorporated entity with operating locations in Ottawa, North Carolina and Mexico City as of September 30, 2022.

On April 7, 2020, AVCT (formerly known as Pensare Acquisition Corp.), consummated a business combination transaction (the “Computex Business Combination”) in which it acquired Stratos Management Systems, Inc. (“Computex”), an operating company that does business as Computex Technology Solutions. In connection with the Computex Business Combination, the Company changed its name to American Virtual Cloud Technologies, Inc.

On December 1, 2020, we acquired the Kandy Communications business (hereafter referred to as “Kandy”) from Ribbon Communications, Inc. and certain of its affiliates (“Ribbon”), by acquiring certain assets and assuming certain liabilities of Kandy from Ribbon and acquiring all of the outstanding interests of Kandy Communications LLC. Kandy, a provider of cloud-based enterprise services, globally deploys a white-label, carrier-grade cloud-based platform for unified communications as a service (“UCaaS”), communications platform as a service (“CPaaS”), Microsoft Teams Direct Routing as a Service (“DRaaS”), and SIP Trunking as a Service capabilities for mid-market and enterprise customers across a proprietary multi-tenant, highly scalable cloud platform. The Kandy platform also includes pre-built customer engagement tools, based on web real-time communications technology (“WebRTC technology”), known as Kandy Wrappers, and provides white-labeled services to a variety of customers including communications service providers and systems integrators. With Kandy, companies can quickly embed real-time communications capabilities into their existing applications and business processes.

Kandy

As a provider of cloud-based enterprise services, Kandy deploys a global carrier grade cloud communications platform that supports the digital and cloud transformation of mid-market and enterprise customers across virtually any device, on virtually any network, in virtually any location. The Kandy platform is based on a powerful, proprietary multi-tenant, highly scalable, and secure cloud platform that includes pre-built customer engagement tools, based on WebRTC technology that enables frictionless communications. Further, we support rapid service creation and multiple go to market models including white labelling, multi-tier channel distribution, enterprise direct, and self-service via our SaaS (software as a service) web portals.

Our cloud-based, real-time communications platform, enables service providers, enterprises, software vendors, systems integrators, partners and developers to enrich their applications and their services with real-time contextual communications empowering the API (Application Programming Interface) economy. With Kandy’s platform, companies of various sizes and types can quickly embed real-time communications capabilities into their existing applications and business processes, providing a more engaging user experience.

While the cloud communications business is focused on highly complex, medium and large enterprise deployments, the customer experience is augmented by our managed services capabilities. In addition, our strategic partnerships with companies such as AT&T, IBM/Kyndryl and Etisalat, give us access to a marquee customer base and the ability to sell end to end solutions.

Computex

On September 16, 2021, the Company announced that as a result of a decision by the Company’s Board of Directors to explore strategic alternatives previously announced on April 7, 2021, the Board had authorized the Company to focus its strategy on acquisitions and organic growth in its cloud technologies business as well as to explore strategic opportunities for its IT solutions business, including the divestiture of Computex. The Company believed that the change would allow it to optimize resource allocation, focus on core competencies, and improve its ability to invest in areas of maximal growth potential.

On January 27, 2022, the Company announced that it had executed a definitive agreement to sell Computex and on March 15, 2022, the sale of Computex was consummated, completing the Company’s transition to a pure-play cloud communications and collaboration company, centered on the Kandy platform. As a result, Computex was classified as held for sale as of December 31, 2021 and its operations are classified as discontinued operations in the condensed consolidated statement of operations. During fiscal year 2021, we recorded a noncash goodwill impairment charge of $32.1 million due to the planned sale of Computex at that time, which represented the excess of the carrying value of the Computex reporting unit over the expected sale proceeds less costs to sell. Net proceeds from the sale of Computex after payment of closing obligations and certain indebtedness, were used for working capital and general business purposes.

In the condensed consolidated financial statements, the results of operations of Computex for current and prior periods are separated and classified as discontinued operations. This management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations primarily focuses on the Company’s continuing operations and so, unless otherwise indicated, amounts discussed herein, pertain to the Company’s continuing operations.

Need for Additional Funding

The Company currently projects that it will need additional capital to fund its current operations including research & development and capital investment requirements until the Company scales to a revenue level that permits cash self-sufficiency. As a result, the Company needs to raise additional capital or secure debt funding to support on-going operations until such time. This projection is based on the Company’s current expectations regarding product sales and service, cost structure, cash burn rate and other operating assumptions. The sources of this capital are anticipated to be from the sale of equity and/or debt. Alternatively, or in addition, the Company may seek to sell additional assets or portions of its business. Any of the foregoing may not be available on favorable terms, if at all, and may require the consent of equity holders and/or holders of any debt we may incur in the future, or may require modification of existing agreements, which may or may not be granted. Additionally, any debt or equity transactions may cause significant dilution to existing stockholders.

If the Company is unable to raise additional capital moving forward, its ability to operate in the normal course and continue to invest in its product portfolio may be negatively impacted and the Company may be forced to scale back operations or divest some or all of its products.

These factors raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. Unless management is able to obtain additional financing, it is unlikely that the Company will be able to meet its funding requirements during the next 12 months.

Other Recent developments

On August 25, 2022, the Company announced that it had retained Northland Capital Markets to advise the Company in connection with a comprehensive strategic review process that could lead to the sale of the Company or selected assets. No assurance can be given that the Company’s review of strategic alternatives will result in one or more transactions being entered into or consummated, or if any transaction is undertaken, as to its terms, structure or timing of such transaction. Furthermore, any ultimate sale transaction(s), if any, may require a shareholder or judicial approval process that may or may not result in such approval being obtained.

The Company continues to explore strategic opportunities, including the rationalization of resource allocation and core competencies, while seeking to focus on areas with growth potential. As part of such strategy, the Company may terminate certain contracts that do not align with its strategic direction, or which are deemed unprofitable. Termination of any such contracts could result in breakage costs, which would negatively impact the Company’s results of operations, financial position and cash flows.

Further, the Company has taken actions to date that it believes will result in significant cost savings going forward, some of which were realized in the third quarter of 2022 and are expected to continue into the fourth quarter. Such savings have been and are to be generated from the Company’s ongoing operating restructuring initiatives including, but not limited to, selective reductions in workforce and negotiated conversions of certain material vendor support costs from fixed to variable, thereby eliminating certain cost burdens related to unused capacity. In conjunction with the Company’s ongoing focus to enhance its enterprise value as a going concern business, the Company has also obtained strategic and operating restructuring support services of capital advisors and expects to pursue additional cost saving initiatives in the fourth quarter of 2022. In support of the ongoing strategic, operating and capital restructuring initiatives, the Company has incurred increased expenses associated with non-recurring items related to legal, operating, and financial advisory professional fees.

Growth strategy

The acquisition of Kandy has given us the opportunity to provide a full suite of UCaaS and CPaaS products to serve the rapidly growing cloud communications market.  Customers today demand a highly reliable, secure, and scalable communications platform along with a world class customer experience.

With demand for cloud technology increasing, we believe that the already sizable total addressable market (TAM) for cloud communications is on track to continue to expand and we believe that we are positioned to monetize mega trends in enterprise cloud communications and gain market share as a premier white-label cloud communications provider.

Certain areas of our growth plan, which also include continued investment in research and development, are as follows:

Key trends affecting our results of operations

The following are key trends that we believe can positively impact our results of operations:

Covid-19

COVID-19 continues to significantly impact local, regional, and global economies, businesses, supply chains, production and sales across a range of industries. The extent of its impact on our operational and financial performance is uncertain and difficult to predict and we remain cautious about the global recovery. To protect the health and safety of our employees, our daily execution has evolved into a largely virtual model. However, we have found ways to continue to engage with and assist our customers and partners as they work to navigate the current environment. We will continue to monitor the current environment and may take further actions that may be required by federal, state or local authorities or that we determine to be in the interests of our employees, customers, and partners.

Nature of revenue categories discussed below:

Cloud subscription and software revenue represent subscriptions to the Company’s cloud-based technology platform as well as revenue from the Company’s on-premise software.

Professional and managed services revenue include services provided to our customers to assist them with the integration of our products to their network.
