Forward-Looking Statements

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements that involve a number of risks and uncertainties. Words such as “anticipates,” “expects,” “intends,” “goals,” “plans,” “believes,” “seeks,” “estimates,” “continues,” “may,” “will,” “would,” “should,” “could,” and variations of such words and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. In addition, any statements that refer to projections of our future financial performance, our anticipated growth and trends in our businesses, uncertain events or assumptions, and other characterizations of future events or circumstances are forward-looking statements. Such statements are based on management's expectations as of the date of this filing and involve many risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in our forward-looking statements. Such risks and uncertainties include those described throughout this report and our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018, particularly the “Risk Factors” sections of such reports. Given these risks and uncertainties, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements. Readers are urged to carefully review and consider the various disclosures made in this Form 10-Q and in other documents we file from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission that disclose risks and uncertainties that may affect our business. The forward-looking statements in this Form 10-Q do not reflect the potential impact of any divestitures, mergers, acquisitions, or other business combinations that had not been completed as of November 19, 2019. In addition, the forward-looking statements in this Form 10-Q are made as of the date of this filing, and we do not undertake, and expressly disclaims any duty, to update such statements, whether as a result of new information, new developments or otherwise, except to the extent that disclosure may be required by law.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – Unaudited

SEPTEMBER 30, 2019

 

 

 

1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

 

DPW Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“DPW” or the “Company”), formerly known as Digital Power Corporation, was incorporated in September 2017. The Company is a diversified holding company owning subsidiaries engaged in the following operating businesses: commercial and defense solutions, commercial lending, cryptocurrency blockchain mining, advanced textile technology and restaurant operations. The Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries are Coolisys Technologies, Inc. (“Coolisys”), Digital Power Limited (“DP Limited”), Enertec Systems 2001 Ltd (“Enertec”), Power-Plus Technical Distributors, LLC (“Power-Plus”), Digital Power Lending, LLC (“DP Lending”) and Digital Farms, Inc. (“Digital Farms”). The Company also has controlling interests in Microphase Corporation (“Microphase”) and I. AM, Inc. (“I.AM”). The Company has five reportable segments – North America with operations conducted by Microphase, Coolisys, Power-Plus and DP Lending, Europe with operations through DP Limited, Middle East with operations through Enertec, digital currency blockchain mining through Digital Farms and restaurant operations through I.AM.

 

On March 14, 2019, pursuant to the authorization provided by the Company’s stockholders at a Special Meeting of Stockholders, the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) approved the Certificate of Incorporation Amendment (the “COI Amendment”) to effectuate a reverse stock split of the Common Stock of the Company’s issued and outstanding number of such shares by a ratio of one-for-twenty (the “First Stock Split”). At the Company’s 2019 reconvened Annual Meeting of Stockholders, the Company’s stockholders approved a proposal permitting the Board to effectuate a second reverse stock split (the “Second Stock Split”) of the Company’s issued and outstanding Common Stock. Thereafter, on July 23, 2019, the Board approved the Second Stock Split with a ratio of one-for-forty. The Second Stock Split did not affect the number of authorized shares of Common Stock or their par value per share. As a result of the Second Stock Split, each forty shares of common stock issued and outstanding prior to the Second Stock Split were converted into one share of common stock. The Second Stock Split became effective in the State of Delaware on August 5, 2019.

 

2. LIQUIDITY, GOING CONCERN AND MANAGEMENT’S PLANS

 

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis that the Company will continue as a going concern. As of September 30, 2019, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $756,652, an accumulated deficit of $76,811,910 and a negative working capital of $16,085,485. The Company has incurred recurring losses and reported losses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, totaled $10,340,851 and $21,110,774, respectively. In the past, the Company has financed its operations principally through issuances of convertible debt, promissory notes and equity securities. During 2019, the Company continued to successfully obtain additional equity and debt financing and in restructuring existing debt.

 

The Company expects to continue to incur losses for the foreseeable future and needs to raise additional capital to continue its business development initiatives and to support its working capital requirements. On April 2, 2019, the Company received gross proceeds of approximately $7 million in a public offering of its securities (see Note 20). Management believes that the Company has access to capital resources through potential public or private issuances of debt or equity securities. However, if the Company is unable to raise additional capital, it may be required to curtail operations and take additional measures to reduce costs, including reducing its workforce, eliminating outside consultants and reducing legal fees to conserve its cash in amounts sufficient to sustain operations and meet its obligations. These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might become necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

3. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X and do not include all the information and disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The Company has made estimates and judgments affecting the amounts reported in our condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes. The actual results experienced by the Company may differ materially from our estimates. The condensed consolidated financial information is unaudited but reflects all normal adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary to provide a fair statement of results for the interim periods presented. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 16, 2019. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2018 was derived from the Company’s audited 2018 financial statements contained in the above referenced Form 10-K. Results of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2019.

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of DPW and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Coolisys, DP Limited, Power-Plus, Enertec, DP Lending, Digital Power Corporation, Power-Plus Technical Distributors and Digital Farms and its majority-owned subsidiaries, Microphase and I.AM. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Accounting Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements, in conformity with U.S. GAAP, requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions. The Company's management believes that the estimates, judgments and assumptions used are reasonable based upon information available at the time they are made. These estimates, judgments and assumptions can affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Key estimates include acquisition accounting, fair value of certain financial instruments, reserve for trade receivables and inventories, carrying amounts of investments, carrying amounts of digital currencies, accruals of certain liabilities including product warranties, useful lives and the recoverability of long-lived assets, impairment analysis of intangibles and goodwill, and deferred income taxes and related valuation allowance.

 

Impairment of long-lived assets:

 

Management reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to undiscounted expected future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by comparing the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets to their fair value. Based on its reviews, management determined that its digital currency miners were impaired by a total of $4,315,856 based upon an assessment as of September 30, 2019, including consideration of the decline in bitcoin values which occurred throughout 2019.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company recognizes revenue under ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The core principle of the new revenue standard is that a company should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The following five steps are applied to achieve that core principle:

 

·Step 1: Identify the contract with the customer,
·Step 2: Identify the performance obligations in the contract,
·Step 3: Determine the transaction price,
·Step 4: Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, and
·Step 5: Recognize revenue when the company satisfies a performance obligation.

Sales of Products

 

The Company generates revenues from the sale of its products through a direct and indirect sales force. The Company’s performance obligations to deliver products are satisfied at the point in time when products are received by the customer, which is when the customer obtains control over the goods. The Company provides standard assurance warranties, which are not separately priced, that the products function as intended. The Company primarily receives fixed consideration for sales of product. Some of the Company’s contracts with distributors include stock rotation rights after six months for slow moving inventory, which represents variable consideration. The Company uses an expected value method to estimate variable consideration and constrains revenue for estimated stock rotations until it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur. To date, returns have been insignificant. The Company’s customers generally pay within 30 days from the receipt of a valid invoice.

 

Because the Company’s product sales agreements have an expected duration of one year or less, the Company has elected to adopt the practical expedient in ASC 606-10-50-14(a) of not disclosing information about its remaining performance obligations.

Manufacturing Services

 

The Company provides manufacturing services in exchange primarily for fixed fees; however, the initial two MLSE units are subject to variable pricing under the $50 million purchase order from MTIX. Under the terms of the MLSE purchase order, the Company shall be entitled to cost plus $100,000 for the manufacture of the first two MLSE units. The Company has determined that the costs of manufacturing the MLSE units will decline over time because of a learning curve which will result in a greater amount of revenue being recognized for these initial two MLSE units.

 

For manufacturing services, which include revenues generated by Enertec and in certain instances revenues generated by DPL, the Company’s performance obligation for manufacturing services is satisfied over time as the Company creates or enhances an asset based on criteria that are unique to the customer and that the customer controls as the asset is created or enhanced. Generally, the Company recognizes revenue based upon proportional performance over time using a cost to cost method which measures progress based on the costs incurred to total expected costs in satisfying its performance obligation. This method provides a depiction of the progress in providing the manufacturing service because there is a direct relationship between the costs incurred by the Company and the transfer of the manufacturing service to the customer. Manufacturing services that are recognized based upon the proportional performance method are included in the above table as services transferred over time and to the extent the customer has not been invoiced for these revenues, as accrued revenue in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Revisions to the Company’s estimates may result in increases or decreases to revenues and income and are reflected in the consolidated financial statements in the periods in which they are first identified.

 

The Company has elected the practical expedient to not adjust the promised amount of consideration for the effects of a significant financing component to the extent that the period between when the Company transfers its promised good or service to the customer and when the customer pays is one year or less.

 

The aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to the performance obligation that is partially unsatisfied as of September 30, 2019, for the MLSE units was approximately $48 million, representing 24 MLSE units. Based on our expectations regarding funding of the production process and our experience building the first machines, the Company expects to recognize the remaining revenue related to the partially unsatisfied performance obligation over the next two and a half years. The Company will be paid in installments for this performance obligation over the next two and a half years.

 

Lending Activities

 

DP Lending generates revenue from lending activities primarily through interest, origination fees and late/other fees. Interest income on these products is calculated based on the contractual interest rate and recorded as interest income as earned. The origination fees or original issue discounts are recognized over the life of the loan using the effective interest method.

 

Blockchain Mining

 

The Company has entered into digital asset mining pools by executing contracts with the mining pool operators to provide computing power to the mining pool. The contracts are terminable at any time by either party and the Company’s enforceable right to compensation only begins when the Company provides computing power to the mining pool operator. In exchange for providing computing power, the Company is entitled to a fractional share of the fixed digital currency award the mining pool operator receives (less digital asset transaction fees to the mining pool operator which are recorded as a component of cost of revenues), for successfully adding a block to the blockchain. The Company’s factional share is based on the proportion of computing power the Company contributed to the mining pool operator to the total computing power contributed by all mining pool participants in solving the current algorithm.

Providing computing power in digital asset transaction verification services is an output of the Company’s ordinary activities. The provision of providing such computing power is the only performance obligation in the Company’s contracts with mining pool operators. The transaction consideration the Company receives, if any, is noncash consideration, which the Company measures at fair value on the date received, which is not materially different than the fair value at contract inception or the time the Company has earned the award from the pools. The consideration is all variable. Because it is not probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue will not occur, the consideration is constrained until the mining pool operator successfully places a block (by being the first to solve an algorithm) and the Company receives confirmation of the consideration it will receive, at which time revenue is recognized. There is no significant financing component in these transactions.

 

Fair value of the digital currency award received is determined using the market rate of the related digital currency at the time of receipt.

 

There is currently no specific definitive guidance under GAAP or alternative accounting framework for the accounting for digital currencies recognized as revenue or held, and management has exercised significant judgment in determining the appropriate accounting treatment. In the event authoritative guidance is enacted by the FASB, the Company may be required to change its policies, which could have an effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position and results from operations.

 

Expenses associated with running the cryptocurrency mining business, such as equipment deprecation and electricity cost are recorded as a component of cost of revenues.

 

We intend to use the digital assets primarily for operating expenses of Digital Farms. During 2018, we used digital assets for debt reduction, capital purchases, consulting fees, data center costs and other operating expenses.

 

Restaurant Operations

 

The Company records revenue from restaurant sales at the time of sale, net of discounts, coupons, employee meals and complimentary meals and gift cards. Restaurant cost of sales primarily includes the cost of goods, beverages, and merchandise and disposable paper and plastic goods used in preparing and selling the Company’s menu items and exclude depreciation and amortization. Vendor allowances received in connection with the purchase of a vendor’s products are recognized as a reduction of the related food and beverage costs as earned.

 

Fair value of Financial Instruments

 

In accordance with ASC No. 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, fair value is defined as the exit price, or the amount that would be received for the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants as of the measurement date.

 

The guidance also establishes a hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs include those that market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability and are developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the Company’s assumptions about the factors that market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability. The guidance establishes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

 

Level 1:  Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 

Level 2: Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or model-derived valuations. All significant inputs used in our valuations are observable or can be derived principally from or corroborated with observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. Level 2 inputs also include quoted prices that were adjusted for security-specific restrictions which are compared to output from internally developed models such as a discounted cash flow model.

Level 3:  Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

 

The carrying amounts of financial instruments carried at cost, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivables and accounts and other receivable – related party, investments, notes receivable, trade payables and trade payables – related party approximate their fair value due to the short-term maturities of such instruments.

 

The categorization of a financial instrument within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The following table sets forth the Company’s financial instruments (see Note 4 and Note 7) that were measured at fair value on a recurring basis by level within the fair value hierarchy:

 

   Fair Value Measurement at September 30, 2019 
   Total   Level 1   Level 2   Level 3

Total Investments  $3,256,468   $991,455   $   $2,265,013 

 

We assess the inputs used to measure fair value using the three-tier hierarchy based on the extent to which inputs used in measuring fair value are observable in the market.

 

Leases

 

Effective January 1, 2019, the Company accounts for its leases under ASC 842, Leases. Under this guidance, arrangements meeting the definition of a lease are classified as operating or financing leases. As of January 1, 2019, we only had operating leases. Operating leases are recognized as Operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets, Operating lease liabilities, current, and Operating lease liabilities, non-current on our consolidated balance sheets. Lease assets and liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term at commencement date. As most of our leases do not provide an implicit rate, we use our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of future payments. In certain of our lease agreements, we receive rent holidays and other incentives. We recognize lease costs on a straight-line basis over the lease term without regard to deferred payment terms, such as rent holidays, that defer the commencement date of required payments. Our lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. Leasehold improvements are capitalized at cost and amortized over the lesser of their expected useful life or the life of the lease, without assuming renewal features, if any, are exercised. We do not separate lease and non-lease components for our leases.

The Company continues to account for leases in the prior period financial statements under ASC Topic 840.

 

Net Loss per Share

 

Net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. The calculation of the basic and diluted earnings per share is the same for all periods presented, as the effect of the potential common stock equivalents is anti-dilutive due to the Company’s net loss position for all periods presented. The Company has included 6,500 warrants, which are exercisable for shares of the Company’s common stock on a one-for-one basis, in its earnings per share calculation for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019. Anti-dilutive securities, which are convertible into or exercisable for the Company’s Class A common stock, consist of the following at September 30, 2019 and 2018:

 

 

   September 30, 
   2019   2018 
Stock options   2,906    9,463 
Warrants(1)   72,921    23,410 
Convertible notes   349,486    25,097 
Conversion of preferred stock   2,232    2,232 
Total   427,545    60,202 

 

(1)The Company has excluded 6,500 warrants issued in April 2019, which may be exercised by means of a cashless exercise into 6,500 shares of the Company’s common stock, in its anti-dilutive securities but included the warrants in its weighted average shares outstanding.

 

Reclassifications

 

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified for comparative purposes to conform to the current-year financial statement presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on previously reported results of operations. In addition, certain prior year amounts from the restated amounts have been reclassified for consistency with the current period presentation.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

 

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), in order to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by, among other provisions, recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet for those leases classified as operating leases under previous U.S. GAAP. For public companies, ASU 2016-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 (including interim periods within those periods) using a modified retrospective approach and early adoption is permitted. In transition, entities may also elect a package of practical expedients that must be applied in its entirety to all leases commencing before the adoption date, unless the lease is modified, and permits entities to not reassess (a) the existence of a lease, (b) lease classification or (c) determination of initial direct costs, as of the adoption date, which effectively allows entities to carryforward accounting conclusions under previous U.S. GAAP. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-11, Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements, which provides entities an optional transition method to apply the guidance under Topic 842 as of the adoption date, rather than as of the earliest period presented. The Company adopted Topic 842 on January 1, 2019, using the optional transition method to apply the new guidance as of January 1, 2019, rather than as of the earliest period presented, and elected the package of practical expedients described above. Upon adoption the Company recognized cumulative operating lease liabilities and operating right-of-use assets of approximately $4.2 million.

In July 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-11, Earnings per Share (Topic 260), Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (Topic 480), Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815) (“ASU 2017-11”). ASU 2017-11 consists of two parts. The amendments in Part I of this update change the classification analysis of certain equity-linked financial instruments (or embedded features) with down round features. When determining whether certain financial instruments should be classified as liabilities or equity instruments, a down round feature no longer precludes equity classification when assessing whether the instrument is indexed to an entity’s own stock. The amendments also clarify existing disclosure requirements for equity-classified instruments. As a result, a freestanding equity-linked financial instrument (or embedded conversion option) no longer would be accounted for as a derivative liability at fair value as a result of the existence of a down round feature. For freestanding equity classified financial instruments, the amendments require entities that present earnings per share (“EPS”) in accordance with Topic 260 to recognize the effect of the down round feature when it is triggered. That effect is treated as a dividend and as a reduction of income available to common stockholders in basic EPS. Convertible instruments with embedded conversion options that have down round features are now subject to the specialized guidance for contingent beneficial conversion features (in Subtopic 470-20, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options), including related EPS guidance (in Topic 260). The amendments in Part II of this update re-characterize the indefinite deferral of certain provisions of Topic 480 that now are presented as pending content in the Codification, to a scope exception. Those amendments do not have an accounting effect. For public business entities, the amendments in Part I of this update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. The amendments in Part II of this update do not require any transition guidance because those amendments do not have an accounting effect. The Company adopted this standard on January 1, 2019, and the adoption did not have any impact on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

 

In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-07, Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting, (“ASU 2018-07”). ASU 2018-07 simplifies the accounting for share-based payments granted to nonemployees for goods and services. Under ASU 2018-07, most of the guidance on such payments to nonemployees would be aligned with the requirements for share-based payments granted to employees. The changes take effect for public companies for fiscal years starting after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within that fiscal year. The Company adopted this standard on January 1, 2019, and the adoption did not have any impact on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

At September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company had invested in the marketable equity securities of certain publicly traded companies. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, unrealized gains of $63,109 and $294,717 were included in net income as a component of change in fair value of equity securities. During the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company recorded an unrealized loss of $42,283. The Company’s investment in marketable equity securities will be revalued on each balance sheet date.  The fair value of the Company’s holdings in marketable equity securities at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 is a Level 1 measurement based on quoted prices in an active market.

 

At September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company also held equity investments in private companies and an investment in a limited partnership. These investments do not have readily determinable fair values and have been measured at cost less impairment, if any, and adjusted for observable price changes for identical or similar investments of the issuer.

Under the guidance of ASC 360, Impairment or Disposal of Long-lived Assets, a long-lived asset or asset group (including intangibles) will be tested for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that its carrying amount may not be recoverable. Based upon the significant decline in the price of bitcoin during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and the decline in projected cash flows over the life of the cryptocurrency machines, the Company performed an undiscounted cash flow test to determine if the cryptocurrency machines were impaired. The undiscounted cash flows were less than the carrying amount of the Company’s cryptocurrency machines and therefore, the carrying amount of the assets were compared to the fair value of the cryptocurrency machines, and the Company determined that there were impairment charges to be recorded on the cryptocurrency machines. Impairment charges for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 totaled approximately $4,315,856.

 

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, depreciation expense amounted to $846,631 and $2,673,352, respectively. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, depreciation expense amounted to $883,793 and $1,642,422, respectively.

The Company’s investments in AVLP, a related party controlled by Philou Ventures, LLC, or Philou, an affiliate of the Company, consist of convertible promissory notes, derivative instruments and shares of common stock of AVLP. At September 30, 2019, the Company has provided loans to AVLP in the principal amount $9,476,979 and, in addition to the 12% convertible promissory notes, AVLP has issued to the Company warrants to purchase 18,953,958 shares of AVLP common stock. The warrants entitle the Company to purchase up to 18,953,958 shares of AVLP common stock at an exercise price of $0.50 per share for a period of five years. The warrants were determined by the issuer to be financial derivative instruments. At September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company recorded an unrealized loss on its investment in warrants of AVLP of $3,927,042 and $2,413,381, respectively, representing the difference between the cost basis and the estimated fair value of the warrants in the Company’s accumulated other comprehensive income in the stockholder's equity section of the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company recognized, in other comprehensive loss, net unrealized loss on derivative securities of related party of $1,152,480 and $1,513,661, respectively, which compares with a net unrealized loss on derivative securities of related party of $1,456,232 and $6,400,899, respectively during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018. The Company’s investment in AVLP will be revalued on each balance sheet date. The fair value of the Company’s holdings in the AVLP warrants was estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing method. The risk-free rate, which ranged between 1.50% and 2.60%, was derived from the U.S. Treasury yield curve, matching the term of our investment, in effect at the measurement date. The volatility factor which ranged between 68.7% and 89.4% was determined based on historical stock prices for similar technology companies with market capitalizations under $100 million. The warrant valuation is a Level 3 measurement.

 

In accordance with ASC No. 310, Receivables (“ASC 310”), the Company accounts for its convertible promissory notes in AVLP at amortized cost, which represents the amount at which the convertible promissory notes were acquired, adjusted for accrued interest and accretion of original issue discount and discount attributed to the fair value of the 18,953,958 warrants that the Company received in conjunction with its investment. Interest is accreted using the effective interest method. The Company records interest on an accrual basis and recognizes it as earned in accordance with the contractual terms of the convertible promissory notes, to the extent that such amounts are expected to be collected. An aggregate of $5,802,374 of original issue discount and discount attributed to the fair value of the warrants is being amortized as interest income through the maturity date. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company recorded $614,856 and $1,892,278, respectively, of interest income for the discount accretion compared with $535,264 and $1,453,712, respectively, during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company recorded contractual interest attributed to the AVLP Notes and AVLP Loan Agreement of $268,428 and $732,542, respectively. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Company recorded contractual interest attributed to the AVLP Notes and AVLP Loan Agreement of $176,946 and $478,119, respectively.

The Company evaluated the collectability of both interest and principal for the convertible promissory notes in AVLP to determine whether there was an impairment. Based on current information and events, the Company determined that it is probable that it will be able to collect amounts due according to the existing contractual terms. Impairment assessments require significant judgments and are based on significant assumptions related to the borrower’s credit risk, financial performance, expected sales, and estimated fair value of the collateral.

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company also acquired in the open market 91,000 shares of AVLP common stock for $53,032 and 430,942 shares of AVLP common stock for $417,169, respectively. At September 30, 2019, the closing market price of AVLP’s common stock was $0.40, a decline from $0.90 at December 31, 2018. The Company has determined that its investment in AVLP marketable equity securities are accounted for in accordance with ASC No. 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures and based upon the closing market price of AVLP common stock at September 30, 2019, the Company’s investment in AVLP common stock had an unrealized loss of $348,891.

 

In aggregate, the Company has 994,175 shares of AVLP common stock which represents 18.0% of AVLP’s outstanding shares of common stock. The Company has determined that AVLP is a variable interest entity (“VIE”) as it does not have sufficient equity at risk. The Company does not consolidate AVLP because the Company is not the primary beneficiary and does not have a controlling financial interest. To be a primary beneficiary, an entity must have the power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly impact the VIE's economic performance, among other factors. Although the Company has made a significant investment in AVLP, the Company has determined that Philou, which controls AVLP through its equity investment and deemed to be more closely associated with AVLP, is the primary beneficiary. As a result, AVLP’s financial position and results of operations are not consolidated in our financial position and results of operations.

 

8. INVESTMENTS IN REAL ESTATE

 

On June 8, 2018, the Company entered into a limited partnership agreement, in which it agreed to become a limited partner in the partnership (the “NY Partnership”). The NY Partnership is a limited partner in the partnership that is responsible for the construction and related activities of a hotel in New York City. In connection with this transaction, the Company has agreed to finance a portion of the capital required by the NY Partnership. As of September 30, 2019, the Company had invested an aggregate of $1,869,000 in the NY Partnership and $100,000 in another real estate investment. The Company was initially required to make monthly capital contributions of $500,000 every thirty days until the Company’s commitment of $10 million was funded in full. The Company had received a waiver for its obligation to make monthly capital contributions through September 30, 2019 and on June 12, 2019, the agreement was restructured whereby DPW no longer has any further funding obligations until the hotel is open for business to the public.

 

9. OTHER INVESTMENTS, RELATED PARTIES

 

The Company’s other related party investments primarily consist of two investments.

 

MTIX, Ltd.

 

On December 5, 2017, the Company entered into an exchange agreement with WT Johnson pursuant to which the Company issued to WT Johnson two convertible promissory notes in the principal amount of $600,000 (“Note A”) and $1,667,766 (“Note B”), in exchange for cancellation of amounts due to WT Johnson by MTIX Ltd., a related party of the Company.

During December 2017, the Company issued 750 shares of its common stock to WT Johnson & Sons upon the conversion of Note A and WT Johnson subsequently sold the 750 shares. The proceeds from the sale of shares of common stock received upon the conversion of Note A were sufficient to satisfy the entire $2,267,766 obligation as well as an additional $400,500 of value added tax due to WT Johnson. Concurrent with entering into the exchange agreement, the Company received a promissory note in the amount of $2,668,266 from MTIX and cancelled Note B. At September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company has valued the note receivable at $600,000, the carrying amount of Note A. The Company will recognize the remainder of the amount due from MTIX upon payment of the promissory note by MTIX.

 

Israeli Property

 

During the year ended December 31, 2017, our President, Amos Kohn, purchased certain real property that serves as a facility for the Company’s business operations in Israel. The Company made $300,000 of payments to the seller of the property and received a 28% undivided interest in the real property (the “Property”). The Company’s subsidiary, Coolisys, entered into a Trust Agreement and Tenancy in Common Agreement with Roni Kohn, who owns a 72% interest in the Property, the daughter of Mr. Kohn and an Israeli citizen. The Property was purchased to serve as a residence/office facility for the Company in order to oversee its Israeli operations and to expand its business in the high-tech industry located in Israel. Pursuant to the Trust Agreement, Ms. Kohn will hold and manage Coolisys’ undivided 28% interest in the Property. The trust will be in effect until it is terminated by mutual agreement of the parties. During the term of the trust, Ms. Kohn will not sell, lease, sublease, transfer, grant, encumber, change or effect any other disposition with respect to the Property or Coolisys’ interest without the Company’s approval.

 

Under the Tenancy in Common Agreement, Coolisys and its executive officers shall have the exclusive rights to use the Property for the Company and its affiliates’ business operations. The Property shall be managed by Ms. Kohn. Further, pursuant to the Tenancy in Common Agreement, for each completed calendar month of employment of Mr. Kohn by the Company, Ms. Kohn shall have the right to purchase a portion of the Company’s interest in the Property. Such right shall fully vest at the end of five years of continuous employment and the Trustee shall have the right to purchase the Company’s 28% interest in the Property for a nominal value. The Company will amortize its $300,000 investment over ten years, subject to a cliff vesting after five years. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company recognized $7,500 and $22,500, respectively, in amortization expense. At September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the unamortized balance of the Israeli Property was $240,000 and $262,500, respectively. If Mr. Kohn is not employed by the Company, the Company shall have the right to demand that Ms. Kohn purchase the Company’s remaining interest in the Property that was not subject to vesting for the fair market value of such unvested Property interest.

11. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

 

Under the Company's 2018 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2018 Plan”), 2017 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2017 Plan”), 2016 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2016 Plan”) and the 2012 Stock Option Plan, as amended (the “2012 Plan”) (collectively, the “Plans”), options may be granted to employees, officers, consultants, service providers and directors of the Company. On July 19, 2019, the Company’s stockholders approved an amendment to the 2018 Plan which increased the number of shares of the Company’s common stock that may be issued thereunder to a total of 175,000 shares. The Plans, as amended, provide for the issuance of a maximum of 184,216 shares of the Company’s common stock.

 

Options granted under the Plans have an exercise price equal to or greater than the fair value of the underlying common stock at the date of grant and become exercisable based on a vesting schedule determined at the date of grant. Typically, options granted generally become fully vested after four years. Any options that are forfeited or cancelled before expiration become available for future grants. The options expire between 5 and 10 years from the date of grant. Restricted stock awards granted under the Plans are subject to a vesting period determined at the date of grant. As of September 30, 2019, an aggregate of 152,961 of the Company's options are still available for future grant.

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company did not grant any options. During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Company granted 1,250 options to its employees from the Plans and also granted 3,622 options outside of the Plans. These options become fully vested after four years. The Company estimated that the grant date fair value of options granted utilizing the Black-Scholes option pricing model during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 was $513,510, which is being recognized as stock-based compensation expense over the requisite four-year service period. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, the Company also issued 29,375 and 1,979, respectively, shares of common stock to its consultants and service providers. The Company estimated the grant date fair value of these shares of common stock was $305,019 and $2,640,102 respectively, which was determined from the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the date of issuance.

 

The Company has valued the options at their date of grant utilizing the Black-Scholes option pricing model. This model is dependent upon several variables such as the options’ term, exercise price, current stock price, risk-free interest rate estimated over the expected term and estimated volatility of our stock over the expected term of the options. The risk-free interest rate used in the calculations is based on the implied yield available on U.S. Treasury issues with an equivalent term approximating the expected life of the options as calculated using the simplified method. The estimated volatility was determined based on the historical volatility of our common stock.

On January 23, 2019, the Company entered into an Exchange Agreement (the “January Exchange Agreement”) with one of the institutional investors pursuant to which the Company issued to the investor two new 8% promissory notes in the aggregate principal amount of $1,043,799 (the “New Notes”) in exchange for one of the 8% Short-Term Promissory Notes in the aggregate principal amount of $318,150, the October short-term promissory note in the aggregate principal amount of $565,000 and accrued interest of $160,649.

 

Pursuant to the January Exchange Agreement, the investor received 10,918 shares of common stock of the Company issued under the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-222132) in satisfaction of the New Notes. Further, since the investor’s proceeds from the sale of all 10,918 shares of common stock received were not equal to the outstanding principal balance of the New Notes, the Company was required to pay to the investor the difference, which amounted to $244,898, in cash or through the delivery of free trading shares of common stock. The Company recognized additional interest expense for the difference of $244,898. On March 19, 2019, the Company issued to the investor an additional 2,551 shares of the Company’s common stock, with a value of $73,016, in partial satisfaction of the liability, resulting in a remaining balance due of $171,882 which was paid during June 2019.

On May 15, 2018, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement to sell a 10% convertible note (the “10% Convertible Note”) in the principal amount of $6,000,000. On July 2, 2018 and August 31, 2018, the Company entered into securities purchase agreements with the institutional investor providing for the issuance of a second 10% convertible note with a principal face amount of $1,000,000 (the “Second 10% Convertible Note”) and a third 10% convertible note with a principal face amount of $2,000,000 (the “Third 10% Convertible Note” and with the Second 10% Convertible Note, the “Additional 10% Convertible Notes”), respectively.

 

On January 9, 2019, the 10% Convertible Note was amended to revise the amortization schedule such that the conversion price on eleven monthly amortization payments in the principal amount $309,193 each, at the request of the holder, shall be satisfied by the issuance of shares of the Company’s common stock. The conversion price on these monthly amortization payments was reduced from $8.00 per share of common stock to a price equal to the greater of (i) $2.40 per share (the closing price of the Company’s common stock on January 9, 2019) or (ii) 80% of the lowest daily VWAP in the three days prior to the date of issuance, but not to exceed $8.00 per share. Further, the Company shall have the right to pay the monthly amortization payment in cash within 72 hours by advising the investor within two hours of receipt of any conversion notice. The amendment to the embedded conversion option of the 10% Convertible Note caused a material change in the fair value of the embedded conversion options and resulted in a loss on extinguishment of $807,784.

 

Between January 4, 2019 and February 21, 2019, the Company issued to the investor 8,412 shares of its common stock upon the conversion of $1,053,351 in principal and accrued interest. The investor received $660,337 from the sale of these shares of common stock. In accordance with the January 9, 2019 amendment, the Company is required to pay the difference between the conversion amount and the proceeds received from the subsequent sale of the shares by the investor, which amounted to $393,014. The Company recognized additional interest expense in the amount of $393,014.

 

On April 2, 2019, the Company repaid principal of $3,000,000 and accrued interest of $1,125,000 on the Additional 10% Convertible Notes and between April 2, 2019 and June 18, 2019 repaid the balance due on the 10% Convertible Note.

On July 3, 2019, we entered into an exchange agreement with an institutional investor pursuant to which, in exchange for a term promissory note issued by us to the investor on March 23, 2018 in the principal face amount of $1,000,000, we sold a convertible promissory note in the principal face amount of $1,292,000 plus a default premium of $200,000, and (ii) a five-year warrant to purchase of 25,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $8.80 per share, subject to the approval thereof by the NYSE American.

19. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

On July 31, 2018, a stockholder derivative complaint was filed in the United States District Court for the Central District of California against the Company as the nominal defendant, as well as its current directors and a former director styled Ethan Young and Greg Young, Derivatively on Behalf of Nominal Defendant, DPW Holdings, Inc. v. Milton C. Ault, III, Amos Kohn, William B. Horne, Jeff Bentz, Mordechai Rosenberg, Robert O. Smith, and Kristine Ault and DPW Holdings, Inc., as the nominal defendant (Case No. 18-cv-6587) (the “Complaint”).

 

The Complaint alleges violations of state law and breaches of fiduciary duty, unjust enrichment and gross mismanagement by the individual defendants as, in the view of the plaintiffs, the Company has entered into poorly advised loan transactions and related party transactions. The Company and the individual defendants believe that these claims are without merit and intend to vigorously defend themselves. The Company and the individual defendants moved to dismiss the Complaint and on February 25, 2019, the Court granted the motion to dismiss but granted plaintiffs leave to amend their Complaint.  On March 11, 2019, plaintiffs filed their amended complaint asserting violations of breaches of fiduciary duties and unjust enrichment claims based on the previously pled transactions. On March 25, 2019, the Company and the individual defendants filed a motion to dismiss the amended complaint.  On May 21, 2019, the Court granted in part and denied in part the Motion to Dismiss the Amended Complaint.  Specifically, the May 21, 2019 Order granted so much of Defendants’ Motion to Dismiss the Amended Complaint that sought to dismiss Directors Robert O. Smith, Jeff Bentz, and Mordechai Rosenberg as parties. Plaintiffs did not further amend the complaint and proceeded with the operative complaint and forewent any claims against Messrs. Smith, Bentz, and Rosenberg.

 

On July 8, 2019, the Court held a scheduling conference wherein the Court set a trial date of August 25, 2020.

On October 21, 2019, the parties mediated the matter before JAMS in Manhattan, New York. At that mediation, the matter was tentatively settled with respect to all claim against the Company and the remaining defendants, Milton C. Ault III, Amos Kohn, and William Horne. The tentative settlement included certain changes to the policies of the Company. The tentative settlement agreement did not have a monetary component. Furthermore, the parties settled any dispute over the attorneys’ fees, which will be paid by AIG, the Company’s insurance carrier. The parties are currently working on finalizing the settlement agreement, and expect to have a finalized settlement agreement prior to end of the calendar year. Upon execution of the finalized settlement agreement, Plaintiff will file a notice of dismissal with prejudice with the Court.

 

On November 28, 2018, Blockchain Mining Supply and Services, Ltd, a vendor who sold computers to the Company’s subsidiary, filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York against Super Crypto Mining, Inc. and the Company (Case No. 18-cv-11099). The Complaint asserted claims for breach of contract and promissory estoppel against the Company and its subsidiary arising from the subsidiary’s failure to satisfy a purchase agreement.  The Complaint seeks damages in the amount of $1,388,495, which approximates the amount of the reserve established.

 

On February 4, 2019, pursuant to the Court’s Rules, the Company requested a pre-motion Conference with the Court.  On April 16, 2019, the Court held a pre-motion Conference in connection with the Company’s anticipated motion to dismiss.  To date, however, the Court has not set a briefing schedule in connection with the Company’s anticipated motion to dismiss.

 

Based on the Company’s assessment of the facts underlying the claims, the uncertainty of litigation, and the preliminary stage of the case, the Company cannot estimate the reasonably possible loss or range of loss that may result from this action. However, the Company has established a reserve in the amount of the unpaid portion of the purchase agreement. An unfavorable outcome may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

The Company received a subpoena from the Commission for the voluntary production of documents. The Company is fully cooperating with this non-public, fact-finding inquiry and believe that the Company has operated our business in compliance with all applicable laws. The subpoena expressly provides that the inquiry is not to be construed as an indication by the Commission or its staff that any violations of the federal securities laws have occurred, nor should it be considered a reflection upon any person, entity or security. However, there can be no assurance as to the outcome of this matter.

 

20. STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

 

Amendments to Certificate of Incorporation

 

On January 3, 2019, the Company filed a certificate of amendment (the “Certificate of Amendment”) to its Certificate of Incorporation, with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, to effectuate an increase to the number of authorized shares of common stock of the Company. Pursuant to the Certificate of Amendment, the Company increased the number of authorized shares of its Class A common stock to 500,000,000 from 200,000,000 (the “Authorized Increase”). The number of authorized shares of the Company’s Class B common stock remains at 25,000,000 and the number of authorized shares of the Company’s preferred stock remains at 25,000,000.

The Authorized Increase was approved by the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) as of December 28, 2018, and approved by a vote of the stockholders of the Company at the December 28, 2018 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. The Certificate of Amendment became effective upon filing with the State of Delaware on January 3, 2019.

The Company filed the COI Amendment to its Certificate of Incorporation with the State of Delaware effectuating the Reverse Stock Split on March 14, 2019. As a result of the Reverse Stock Split, each twenty (20) shares of common stock issued and outstanding prior to the Reverse Stock Split were converted into one (1) share of common stock, with no change in authorized shares or par value per share.

On March 29, 2019, the Company entered into an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with A.G.P./Alliance Global Partners (the “Underwriter”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue and sell an aggregate of (a) 71,388 shares of its common stock (the “Shares”) together with warrants to purchase 71,388 shares of common stock (the “Common Warrants”) and (b)  pre-funded warrants to purchase up to 317,500 shares of its common stock (the “Pre-Funded Warrants”) together with a number of Common Warrants to purchase 317,500 shares of common stock (the “Offering”). The Shares were sold to the purchasers at the public offering price of $17.60 per share (the “Offering Price”). The Common Warrants were sold at a public offering price of $0.40 per Common Warrant. The Pre-Funded Warrants were offered to each purchaser whose purchase of the Shares and the Common Warrant in the Offering would otherwise result in the purchaser, together with its affiliates and certain related parties, beneficially owning more than 4.99% (or, at the election of the purchaser, 9.99%) of the Company’s outstanding common stock immediately following the consummation of the Offering. The purchase price of each Pre-Funded Warrant equaled the Offering Price at which the Shares were sold to the public in the Offering, minus $0.40, and the exercise price of each Pre-Funded Warrant equaled $0.40 per share. In addition, the Company has also issued the Underwriter a warrant to purchase a maximum of 15,550 additional shares of common stock at an initial exercise price of $19.80 per share, with a term of five years (the “Underwriter Warrants”).

 

The Common Warrants are exercisable at any time after the date of issuance at an exercise price of $0.45 per share. However, since the volume weighted average price of the Company’s common stock on or after May 2, 2019, was less than $0.45 per share, the Common Warrant is exercisable by means of a cashless exercise such that the holder of the Common Warrant shall receive one common share for each warrant held.

 

Upon issuance, the Common Warrants, Pre-Funded Warrants and Underwriter Warrants (the “Offering Warrants”) were recorded at fair value and classified as a liability. Since the fair value of the Offering Warrants exceeded the proceeds from the Offering the Company recognized a loss on issuance of warrants of $1,763,481. The fair value of the Offering Warrants was re-measured at each financial reporting period and immediately before exercise, with any changes in fair value recorded as change in fair value of warrant liability in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss. The fair value at issuance was calculated using a Black-Scholes option pricing model using a risk-free interest rate of 2.28%, an expected life of 5 years, expected dividends of zero and expected volatility of 87.51%.

 

The Company received net proceeds from the Offering of $6,204,717, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and offering expenses. The Company used the net proceeds from the Offering primarily for the repayment of debt.

 

The Offering closed on April 2, 2019 and as of September 30, 2019, the Company had issued a total of 771,275 shares of its common stock, inclusive of shares issued pursuant to the exercise of 317,500 Pre-Funded Warrants and 382,387 shares issued pursuant to the cashless exercise of the Common Warrants.

 

Ascendiant ATM Offering

 

On August 6, 2019, the Company entered into an At-The-Market Issuance Sales Agreement with Ascendiant Capital Markets, LLC, as sales agent to sell shares of the Company’s common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $5,500,000 (the “ATM Offering”). The offer and sale of the Company’s common stock will be made pursuant to the Company’s effective “shelf” registration statement on Form S-3 and an accompanying base prospectus contained therein (Registration Statement No. 333-222132) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on December 18, 2017, amended on January 8, 2018, and declared effective by the SEC on January 11, 2018, and a prospectus supplement related to the ATM Offering, dated August 6, 2019. Through September 30, 2019, the Company had received gross proceeds of $4,416,765 through the sale of 1,140,330 shares of the Company’s common stock from the ATM Offering.

 

Issuance of Common Stock for Services

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company issued to its consultants a total 29,375 shares of its common stock with an aggregate value of $305,019, an average of $10.38 per share for services rendered.

Recent Developments

 

On May 13, 2019, we filed an Offering Statement on Form 1-A pursuant to Regulation A promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”), pursuant to which up to $50 million of 3-year, non-convertibles promissory notes (“Promissory Notes”) will be offered and sold once the Commission has qualified the Offering Statement. The Promissory Notes will accrue annualized interest of 12% that will be paid rata monthly and will be offered on a continuous basis, in each case as determined by us in our sole discretion. The Company cannot provide any assurance that any Promissory Notes will be sold pursuant this Offering Statement.

 

At our reconvened 2019 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, our stockholders approved a proposal permitting our Board of Directors (the “Board”) to effectuate a second reverse stock split (the “Second Reverse Stock Split”) of our issued and outstanding common stock. Thereafter, on July 23, 2019, the Board approved the Second Reverse Stock Split with a ratio of one-for-forty. As a result of the Second Reverse Stock Split, each forty (40) shares of common stock issued and outstanding prior to the Second Reverse Stock Split were converted into one (1) share of common stock, with no change in authorized shares or par value per share. The Second Reverse Stock Split became effective in the State of Delaware on August 5, 2019.

 

On August 6, 2019, we entered into an At-The-Market Issuance Sales Agreement with Ascendiant Capital Markets, LLC, as sales agent in which we sold shares of our common stock having an aggregate offering price of $5,500,000 (the “ATM Offering”). The offer and sale of our common stock was made pursuant to our effective “shelf” registration statement on Form S-3 and an accompanying base prospectus contained therein (Registration Statement No. 333-222132) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on December 18, 2017, amended on January 8, 2018, and declared effective by the SEC on January 11, 2018, and a prospectus supplement related to the ATM Offering, dated August 6, 2019.

 

GENERAL

 

We are a growth company seeking to increase our revenues through acquisitions. We continually assess acquisition opportunities and are exploring acquisitions in the financial sector.

 

Over the recent past we have provided capital and relevant expertise to fuel the growth of businesses in defense/aerospace, industrial, telecommunications, medical, crypto-mining, textiles and a select portfolio of commercial hospitality properties. We have provided capital to subsidiaries as well as partner companies in which we have an equity interest or may be actively involved, influencing development through board representation and management support.

 

Through our lending subsidiary, DP Lending, we have launched an online fintech portal, MonthlyInterest.com, that facilitates investments that pay monthly interest. As a holding company, we have been developing DP Lending to enable the capacity to fund entrepreneurs, our subsidiaries and partner companies. We believe MonthlyInterest.com will provide investors the opportunity to invest directly into companies and technology that will have a global impact, bypassing traditional banking and lending institutions.

 

Realizing Value

 

As a holding company, our business strategy is designed to increase shareholder value. Under this strategy, we are focused on managing and financially supporting our existing subsidiaries and partner companies, with the goal of pursuing monetization opportunities and maximizing the value returned to shareholders. We have, are and will consider initiatives including, among others: public offerings, the sale of individual partner companies, the sale of certain or all partner company interests in secondary market transactions, or a combination thereof, as well as other opportunities to maximize shareholder value. We anticipate returning value to shareholders after satisfying our debt obligations and working capital needs.

From time to time, we engage in discussions with other companies interested in our subsidiaries or partner companies, either in response to inquiries or as part of a process we initiate. To the extent we believe that a subsidiary partner company’s further growth and development can best be supported by a different ownership structure or if we otherwise believe it is in our shareholders’ best interests, we will seek to sell some or all of our position in the subsidiary or partner company. These sales may take the form of privately negotiated sales of stock or assets, mergers and acquisitions, public offerings of the subsidiary or partner company’s securities and, in the case of publicly traded partner companies, sales of their securities in the open market. Our plans may include taking subsidiaries or partner companies public through rights offerings and directed share subscription programs. We will continue to consider these (or similar) programs and the sale of certain subsidiary or partner company interests in secondary market transactions to maximize value for our shareholders.

Revenues

 

Our revenues decreased by $1,963,259, or 23.5%, to $6,381,663 for the three months ended September 30, 2019, from $8,344,922 for the three months ended September 30, 2018. As discussed below the decrease from the three months ended September 30, 2018, was due to a decrease in revenue from our restaurant operations, the manufacture of the Multiplex Laser Surface Enhancement (“MLSE”) plasma-laser system and from our cryptocurrency mining operations and, to a lesser extent, a decrease in revenue from customized solutions for the military markets caused by temporary shortages in components required for the manufacture of these solutions.

 

Revenues, cryptocurrency mining

 

In January 2018, we formed Digital Farms, Inc. (“Digital Farms”), a wholly-owned subsidiary formerly known as Super Crypt Mining, Inc. Digital Farms was established to operate our cryptocurrency business, which is pursuing a variety of digital currencies. We are mining the top three cryptocurrencies for our own account, consisting of Bitcoin, Litecoin and Ethereum. Although the market prices of digital currencies were significantly higher during the three months ended September 30, 2019 compared to the prior-year period, due to power cost considerations, we reduced the number of active miners from 1,512 in the prior year period to 978 during the current quarter. These factors, coupled with a significant increase in the difficulty factor, which increases when market prices of digital currencies are increasing as more computational power is added to the network, resulted in a decrease in revenues of $282,993.

 

Revenues, related party

 

During the three months ended September 30, 2018, we recognized $352,496 in revenues from our purchase order with MTIX Limited, a company formed under the laws of England and Wales (“MTIX”). Due to working capital constraints discussed below, we did not recognize any revenues from MTIX during the three months ended September 30, 2019. MTIX was acquired by AVLP on August 22, 2017, and is therefore a related party. In March 2017, the Company was awarded a purchase order by MTIX to manufacture, install and service MLSE plasma-laser system. Over the next several years, management believes that the MLSE purchase order will be a source of revenue and generate significant cash flows. The lack of revenue during the three months ended September 30, 2019, was due to an emphasis on reducing the debt obligations incurred in May 2018 to acquire Enertec. Payments, and the related manufacturing services, that otherwise would have gone to subcontractors of the MLSE plasma-laser system have been delayed in order to enable us to restructure and reduce our overall debt obligations.

 

Revenues, restaurant operations

 

During the three months ended September 30, 2019, we recognized a decrease in revenues from our restaurant operations of $548,057 compared to the prior-year period. The decrease was primarily due to significant construction projects that hampered access to our restaurant locations and, to a lesser extent, competition from restaurants recently opened near two of our locations.

 

Gross Margins

 

Gross margins increased to 27.3% for the three months ended September 30, 2019 compared to 24.3% for the three months ended September 30, 2018. The Company’s gross margins have typically ranged between 33% and 37%, with slight variations depending on the overall composition of our revenue. Our gross margins during the three months ended September 30, 2018, of 24.3%, were affected by the negative margins on revenues of $307,172 at Digital Farms. The negative gross margins at Digital Farms resulted from monthly recurring fixed costs at our colocation facilities which temporarily exceed the revenues from our mining operations. Excluding the effects of Digital Farms, then our adjusted gross margins for the three months ended September 30, 2018, would have been 38.9%, slightly higher than our historical range. The increase is mainly attributable to higher gross margins related to our restaurant operations.

Our gross margin of 27.3% recognized during the three months ended September 30, 2019, was also impacted by the negative margins at Digital Farms. Excluding the effects of Digital Farms, our adjusted gross margin for the three months ended September 30, 2019, would have been 39.7%. which is consistent with our historical average.

 

Engineering and Product Development

 

Engineering and product development expenses increased by $148,347 to $481,902 for the three months ended September 30, 2019, from $333,555 for the three months ended September 30, 2018. The increase in engineering and product development expenses is attributed to an increase in spending at Enertec as it pursues additional contracts in the defense industry.

 

Selling and Marketing

 

Selling and marketing expenses were $392,725 for the three months ended September 30, 2019, compared to $790,603 for the three months ended September 30, 2018, a decrease of $397,878. This increase was the result of decreases in personnel costs directly attributed to a reduction in sales and marketing personnel throughout our operations.

 

General and Administrative

 

General and administrative expenses were $4,519,641 for the three months ended September 30, 2019, compared to $5,088,312 for the three months ended September 30, 2018, a decrease of $568,671. General and administrative expenses decreased from the comparative prior period, mainly due to lower stock compensation expense and legal fees partially offset by an increase in cost attributed to the hiring of a Chief Accounting Officer and Senior Vice President of Finance. The remaining increase in general and administrative expenses is due to various costs, none of which are significant individually.

 

Asset Impairment Charges

 

Asset impairment charges of $4,315,856 were recognized during the three months ended September 30, 2019. The impairment charges related to impairments of our cryptocurrency equipment.

 

Operating Loss

 

The Company recorded an operating loss of $7,970,036 for the three months ended September 30, 2019, compared to an operating loss of $4,187,845 for the three months ended September 30, 2018. The increase in operating loss is mostly attributable to the impairment of property and equipment coupled with a higher gross profit and lower selling and marketing expenses, partially offset by an increase in general and administrative expenses.

 

Interest Income

 

Interest income was $898,646 for the three months ended September 30, 2019 compared to $712,262 for the three months ended September 30, 2018. The increase in interest income for the three months ended September 30, 2019 is related to an increase in interest income pursuant to the Loan and Security Agreement entered into on September 6, 2017, with AVLP, a related party.

 

Interest Expense

 

Interest expense was $2,954,843 for the three months ended September 30, 2019 compared to $4,072,539 for the three months ended September 30, 2018. The decrease in interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2019 is primarily related to a reduction of amortization of debt discount resulting from original issue discount from the issuance of warrants in conjunction with the sale of debt instruments. During the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, as a result of these issuances, non-cash interest expense of $1,357,845 and $3,033,864, respectively, was recorded from the amortization of debt discount and debt financing costs.

Change in fair value of warrant liability

 

During the three months ended September 30, 2019, the fair value of the warrants that were issued in our Offering decreased by $165,840. The fair value of these warrants is re-measured at each financial reporting period and immediately before exercise, with any changes in fair value recorded as change in fair value of warrant liability in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss.

 

Net Loss

 

For the foregoing reasons, our net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2019, was $10,340,851 compared to a net loss of $7,524,385 for the three months ended September 30, 2018. After taking into consideration the loss attributable to the non-controlling interest of the minority shareholders of Microphase during the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, of nil and $74,414, respectively, and preferred dividends of $5,284 and nil, respectively, the net loss available to common shareholders during the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, was $10,346,135 and $7,449,971, respectively.

 

During the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, our reported net loss included non-cash charges of $6,390,242 and $4,709,663, respectively. A summary of these non-cash charges is as follows:

  

   For the Three Months Ended 
   September 30, 
   2019   2018 
Interest expense – debt discount  $1,357,845   $3,033,864

Non-cash items included in net loss  $6,390,242   $4,709,663 

  

Other comprehensive income (loss)

 

Other comprehensive loss was $11,431,449 and 8,869,634, respectively, for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018. Other comprehensive loss for the three months ended September 30, 2019, which decreased our equity, was primarily due to unrealized loss in the warrant derivative securities that we received as a result of our investment in Avalanche International, Corp., or AVLP, a related party. During the three months ended September 30, 2018, unrealized losses in the warrant derivative securities of AVLP was the primary component of other comprehensive loss.

Revenues

 

Our revenues decreased by $1,515,830, or 7.2%, to $19,468,773 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, from $20,984,603 for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, our acquisitions of Enertec and I.AM represented $9,898,540 and $5,461,360, respectively, of our revenues. Excluding revenues from these acquisitions, we would have recognized revenues of $9,570,233 and $15,523,243, respectively, during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, a decrease of $5,953,010. As discussed below, the decrease of $5,953,010 from the nine months ended September 30, 2018, was primarily due to a decrease in revenue from our restaurant operations, from the manufacture of the MLSE plasma-laser system and from our cryptocurrency mining operations. The following table shows revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, generated from acquisitions completed during the year ended December 31, 2018.

 

      For the Nine Months Ended September 30, 
Company acquired  Date of Acquisition  2019   2018 
            
 Enertec Systems 2001 Ltd.   May 22, 2018  $6,527,075   $3,373,977 
 I.AM, Inc.   May 23, 2018   3,371,465    2,087,383 
      $9,898,540   $5,461,360 

 

Revenues, cryptocurrency mining

 

In January 2018, we formed Digital Farms, a wholly-owned subsidiary. Digital Farms was established to operate our cryptocurrency business, which is pursuing a variety of digital currencies. We are mining the top three cryptocurrencies for our own account, consisting of Bitcoin, Litecoin and Ethereum. The market prices of digital currencies were slightly lower during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to the prior-year period. Further, due to power cost considerations, we reduced the number of active miners from 1,512 in the prior year period to 978 during the current quarter. These factors, coupled with a significant increase in the difficulty factor during the current quarter resulted in a decrease in revenues $954,326.

 

Revenues, related party

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, we recognized $3,911,263 in revenues resulting from our purchase order with MTIX. Conversely, we did not recognize any revenues from MTIX during the nine months ended September 30, 2019. MTIX was acquired by AVLP on August 22, 2017, and is therefore a related party. The lack of revenue during the nine months ended September 30, 2019, was due to an emphasis on reducing the debt obligations incurred in May 2018 to acquire Enertec. Payments, and the related manufacturing services, that otherwise would have gone to subcontractors of the MLSE plasma-laser system have been delayed in order to enable us to restructure and reduce our overall debt obligations.

 

Gross Margins

 

Gross margins increased to 26.3% for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, compared to 22.8% for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. Our gross margins during the nine months ended September 30, 2018, of 22.8%, were affected by the lower margin related party revenue of $3,911,263 from MTIX combined with negative margins on revenues of $1,546,418 at Digital Farms. Excluding the effects of Digital Farms and our contract with MTIX, then our adjusted gross margins for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, would have been 38.6%.

 

Our gross margin of 26.3% recognized during the nine months ended September 30, 2019, was also impacted by the negative margins at Digital Farms. Excluding the effects of Digital Farms, our adjusted gross margin for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 would have been 37.9%. which is consist with our historical average which has typically ranged between 33% and 37%, with slight variations depending on the overall composition of our revenue.

 

Engineering and Product Development

 

Engineering and product development expenses increased by $364,855 to $1,408,848 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, from $1,043,993 for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. The increase in engineering and product development expenses is attributed to our acquisition of Enertec, which due to the timing of the acquisition was partially excluded from the prior period amount.

Selling and Marketing

 

Selling and marketing expenses were $1,293,181 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, compared to $2,290,934 for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, a decrease of $997,753. Our acquisition of Enertec and I.AM resulted in an increase of $196,962. This increase was offset by decreases in personnel costs directly attributed to a reduction in sales and marketing personnel throughout our operations.

 

General and Administrative

 

General and administrative expenses were $14,584,758 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to $12,697,909 for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, an increase of $1,886,849. Our acquisitions of Enertec and I.AM accounted for $2,119,118 of the increase in general and administrative expenses. The adjusted decrease of $232,269 from the comparative prior period was mainly due to the lower stock compensation expense and legal fees partially offset by an increase in cost attributed to the hiring of a Chief Accounting Officer and Senior Vice President of Finance.

 

Asset Impairment Charges

 

Asset impairment charges of $4,315,856 were recognized during the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The impairment charges related to impairments of our cryptocurrency equipment.

 

Operating Loss

 

The Company recorded an operating loss of $16,476,978 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, compared to an operating loss of $11,255,164 for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. The increase in operating loss is mostly attributable to the impairment of property and equipment coupled with an increase of general and administrative expenses, partially offset by higher gross profit and lower selling and marketing expenses.

 

Interest Income

 

Interest income was $2,647,110 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to $1,955,885 for the three months ended September 30, 2018. The increase in interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 is primarily related to an increase in interest income pursuant to the Loan and Security Agreement entered into on September 6, 2017, with AVLP, a related party.

 

Interest expense

 

Interest expense was $5,586,639 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, compared to $11,335,069 for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. The decrease in interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 is primarily related to a reduction of amortization of debt discount resulting from original issue discount from the issuance of warrants in conjunction with the sale of debt instruments. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, as a result of these issuances, non-cash interest expense of $3,034,454 and $8,812,972, respectively, was recorded from the amortization of debt discount and debt financing costs.

 

Loss on issuance of warrants

 

We recognized a loss on issuance of warrants of $1,763,481 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, based upon the fair value of the warrants issued in our Offering in excess of the proceeds received from the Offering.

 

Change in fair value of warrant liability

Other comprehensive loss

 

Other comprehensive loss was $22,344,785 and $27,503,860, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018. Other comprehensive loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, which decreased our equity, was primarily due to unrealized losses in the warrant derivative securities that we received as a result of our investment in AVLP, a related party. During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, unrealized losses in the warrant derivative securities of AVLP was also the primary component of other comprehensive loss.

 

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

 

On September 30, 2019, we had cash and cash equivalents of $756,652. This compares with cash and cash equivalents of $902,329 at December 31, 2018. The decrease in cash and cash equivalents was primarily due to cash provided by financing activities being slightly in excess of the amount of cash used in operating and investing activities with the remaining variance attributed to the effect of exchange rates caused by a decrease in exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and the Israeli Shekel.

 

Net cash used in operating activities totaled $8,377,278 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, compared to $9,430,055 for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the decrease in net cash used in operating activities compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2018, was mainly due to a reduction in our net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2018. The net loss was partially offset by several non-cash charges, a decrease in amortization of debt discount of $5,778,518 and stock-based compensation of $2,810,118, an increase in depreciation and amortization of $1,331,517and a decrease in accounts receivable, related party due to a payment of $2,676,219 in April 2019.

Net cash used in investing activities was $2,686,506 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, compared to $19,915,693 for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. The decrease of the net usage of cash from investing activities was primarily attributed to the purchase of property and equipment at Digital Farms and our acquisition of Enertec during the nine months ended September 30, 2018.

 

Net cash provided by financing activities was $11,083,232 and $28,791,362 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Financing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2019, primarily related to the sale of shares of our common stock through an “at the market offering” program and through an underwriting agreement with A.G.P./Alliance Global Partners. The proceeds that we received from the sale of our shares of common stock was partially offset by net cash outflows of $3,706,679 associated with our debt arrangements.

 

Historically, we have financed our operations principally through issuances of convertible debt, promissory notes and equity securities. During 2019, as reflected below, we continued to successfully obtain additional equity and debt financing and in restructuring existing debt.

 

·On October 15, 2018, we entered into an At-The-Market Issuance Sales Agreement with WDCO (the “WDCO ATM Offering”) to sell shares of our common stock. Between January 1, 2019 and April 1, 2019, the date the WDCO ATM Offering was terminated, the Company received gross proceeds of $4,656,050 through the sale of 119,791 shares of our common stock through the WDCO ATM Offering.

 

·On March 29, 2019, we entered into an underwriting agreement pursuant to which we sold 71,388 shares of our common stock, warrants to purchase 388,888 shares of our common stock and pre-funded warrants to purchase 317,500 shares of our common stock on April 2, 2019. We received gross proceeds from this offering of $6,999,555 and used approximately $6,000,000 of the proceeds from this offering for the repayment of debt.

 

·On May 13, 2019, we filed an Offering Statement on Form 1-A pursuant to Regulation A promulgated by the Commission, pursuant to which up to $50 million of 3-year, non-convertibles promissory notes (“Promissory Notes”) will be offered and sold once the Commission has qualified the Offering Statement. We anticipate that the Promissory Notes will accrue annualized interest of between 5% and 15% that will be paid rata monthly and will be offered on a continuous basis, in each case as determined by us in our sole discretion. The Company cannot provide any assurance that any Promissory Notes will be sold pursuant this Offering Statement.

 

·On August 6, 2019, we entered into an At-The-Market Issuance Sales Agreement with Ascendiant Capital Markets, LLC, as sales agent in which we sold shares of our common stock having an aggregate offering price of $5,500,000 (the “ATM Offering”). The offer and sale of our common stock was made pursuant to our effective “shelf” registration statement on Form S-3 and an accompanying base prospectus contained therein (Registration Statement No. 333-222132) filed with the Commission on December 18, 2017, amended on January 8, 2018, and declared effective by the SEC on January 11, 2018, and a prospectus supplement related to the ATM Offering, dated August 6, 2019.

 

We expect to continue to incur losses for the foreseeable future and will be required to raise additional capital to continue to support our working capital requirements. We have been successful over the last 12 months in raising capital to support our working capital requirements. We anticipate that we will continue to raise capital through public and private equity offerings, debt financings, or other means. If we are unable to secure additional capital, we may be required to curtail our current operations and take additional measures to reduce costs expenses, including reducing our workforce, eliminating outside consultants, ceasing or reducing our due diligence of potential future acquisitions, including the associated legal fees, in order to conserve cash in order to sustain operations and meet our obligations.

 

Based on the above, these matters raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern and amounts reported in our financial statements do not reflect the effects of any adjustments to the carrying amounts of our assets and liabilities should we be unable to continue as a going concern.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

In our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018, we identified the critical accounting policies which affect our more significant estimates and assumptions used in preparing our consolidated financial statements.  The basis for developing the estimates and assumptions within our critical accounting policies is based on historical information and known current trends and factors.  The estimates and assumptions are evaluated on an ongoing basis and actual results have been within our expectations.  We have not changed these policies from those previously disclosed in our Annual Report.

 

ITEM 3.           QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

 

Not applicable for a smaller reporting company.

 

ITEM 4.           CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

We have established disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms and is accumulated and communicated to management, including the principal executive officer and principal financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

Our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, with the assistance of other members of the Company's management, have evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report. Based upon our evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer has concluded that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q because the Company has not yet completed its remediation of the material weakness previously identified and disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018, the end of its most recent fiscal year.

 

Specifically, management has determined that we do not have sufficient resources to ensure an appropriate level of segregation of duties in our accounting function, we have inadequate controls to ensure that information necessary to properly record transactions is adequately communicated and we did not design or maintain effective general information technology controls over certain information systems that are relevant to the mitigation of the risk pertaining to the misappropriation of assets.

 

A material weakness is a control deficiency (within the meaning of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) Auditing Standard No. 2) or combination of control deficiencies that result in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected.

 

Planned Remediation

 

Management, in coordination with the input, oversight and support of our Audit Committee, has identified the measures below to strengthen our control environment and internal control over financial reporting.

 

In January 2018, we hired a new Chief Financial Officer and engaged the services of a financial accounting advisory firm. In September 2018, we hired a Chief Accounting Officer and in January 2019, we hired a Senior Vice President of Finance. Finally, in May 2019, we hired an Executive Vice President and General Counsel. We have tasked these individuals with expanding and monitoring the Company’s internal controls, to provide an additional level of review of complex financial issues and to assist with financial reporting. Further, as we continue to expand our internal accounting department, the Chairman of the Audit Committee shall perform the following:

 

·assists with documentation and implementation of policies and procedures and monitoring of controls,

 

  12 
 

 

·reviews all anticipated transactions that are not considered in the ordinary course of business to assist in the early identification of accounting issues and ensure that appropriate disclosures are made in our financial statements

 

We are currently working to improve and simplify our internal processes and implement enhanced controls, as discussed above, to address the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting and to remedy the ineffectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures. These material weaknesses will not be considered to be remediated until the applicable remediated controls are operating for a sufficient period of time and management has concluded, through testing, that these controls are operating effectively.

 

Despite the existence of these material weaknesses, the Company believes that the consolidated financial statements included in the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q fairly present, in all material respects, the Company's financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. 

 

Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting.

 

Except as detailed above, during the most recent fiscal quarter 2019 there were no significant changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.

 

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION

 

ITEM 1.           LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

 

On July 31, 2018, a stockholder derivative complaint was filed in the United States District Court for the Central District of California against the Company as the nominal defendant, as well as its current directors and a former director styled Ethan Young and Greg Young, Derivatively on Behalf of Nominal Defendant, DPW Holdings, Inc. v. Milton C. Ault, III, Amos Kohn, William B. Horne, Jeff Bentz, Mordechai Rosenberg, Robert O. Smith, and Kristine Ault and DPW Holdings, Inc., as the nominal defendant (Case No. 18-cv-6587) (the “Complaint”).

 

The Complaint alleges violations of state law and breaches of fiduciary duty, unjust enrichment and gross mismanagement by the individual defendants as, in the view of the plaintiffs, the Company has entered into poorly advised loan transactions and related party transactions. The Company and the individual defendants believe that these claims are without merit and intend to vigorously defend themselves. The Company and the individual defendants moved to dismiss the Complaint and on February 25, 2019, the Court granted the motion to dismiss but granted plaintiffs leave to amend their Complaint.  On March 11, 2019, plaintiffs filed their amended complaint asserting violations of breaches of fiduciary duties and unjust enrichment claims based on the previously pled transactions. On March 25, 2019, the Company and the individual defendants filed a motion to dismiss the amended complaint.  On May 21, 2019, the Court granted in part and denied in part the Motion to Dismiss the Amended Complaint.  Specifically, the May 21, 2019 Order granted so much of Defendants’ Motion to Dismiss the Amended Complaint that sought to dismiss Directors Robert O. Smith, Jeff Bentz, and Mordechai Rosenberg as parties. Plaintiffs did not further amend the complaint and proceeded with the operative complaint and forewent any claims against Messrs. Smith, Bentz, and Rosenberg.

 

On July 8, 2019, the Court held a scheduling conference wherein the Court set a trial date of August 25, 2020.

 

On October 21, 2019, the parties mediated the matter before JAMS in Manhattan, New York. At that mediation, the matter was tentatively settled with respect to all claim against the Company and the remaining defendants, Milton C. Ault III, Amos Kohn, and William Horne. The tentative settlement included certain changes to the policies of the Company. The tentative settlement agreement did not have a monetary component. Furthermore, the parties settled any dispute over the attorneys’ fees, which will be paid by AIG, the Company’s insurance carrier. The parties are currently working on finalizing the settlement agreement, and expect to have a finalized settlement agreement prior to end of the calendar year. Upon execution of the finalized settlement agreement, Plaintiff will file a notice of dismissal with prejudice with the Court.

On November 28, 2018, Blockchain Mining Supply and Services, Ltd, a vendor who sold computers to the Company’s subsidiary, filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York against Super Crypto Mining, Inc. and the Company (Case No. 18-cv-11099). The Complaint asserted claims for breach of contract and promissory estoppel against the Company and its subsidiary arising from the subsidiary’s failure to satisfy a purchase agreement.  The Complaint seeks damages in the amount of $1,388,495, which approximates the amount of the reserve established.

 

On February 4, 2019, pursuant to the Court’s Rules, the Company requested a pre-motion Conference with the Court.  On April 16, 2019, the Court held a pre-motion Conference in connection with the Company’s anticipated motion to dismiss.  To date, however, the Court has not set a briefing schedule in connection with the Company’s anticipated motion to dismiss.

 

Based on the Company’s assessment of the facts underlying the claims, the uncertainty of litigation, and the preliminary stage of the case, the Company cannot estimate the reasonably possible loss or range of loss that may result from this action. However, the Company has established a reserve in the amount of the unpaid portion of the purchase agreement. An unfavorable outcome may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

ITEM 1A.        RISK FACTORS

 

The risks described in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” in our 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K, could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations, and the trading price of our common stock could decline. These risk factors do not identify all risks that we face - our operations could also be affected by factors that are not presently known to us or that we currently consider to be immaterial to our operations. Due to risks and uncertainties, known and unknown, our past financial results may not be a reliable indicator of future performance and historical trends should not be used to anticipate results or trends in future periods. Other than the additional risk factor identified below, the Risk Factors section of our 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K remains current in all material respects.

 

We received a subpoena from the Commission.

 

We received a subpoena from the Commission for the voluntary production of documents. We are fully cooperating with this non-public, fact-finding inquiry and believe that we have operated our business in compliance with all applicable laws. The subpoena expressly provides that the inquiry is not to be construed as an indication by the Commission or its staff that any violations of the federal securities laws have occurred, nor should it be considered a reflection upon any person, entity or security. However, there can be no assurance as to the outcome of this matter.

 

ITEM 2.           UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, we issued to our consultants a total 29,375 shares of our common stock with an aggregate value of $305,019, an average of $10.38 per share for services rendered.

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, principal and accrued interest of $4,238,878 and $497,416, respectively, on our debt securities was satisfied through the issuance of 370,473 shares of our common stock.

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, we issued 9,375 shares of our common stock in satisfaction of an accrued liability of $108,523.

 

The foregoing issuances were exempt from registration upon reliance of Section 4(a)(2) and Regulation D promulgated thereunder.

ITEM 3.           DEFAULTS UPON SENIOR SECURITIES

 

On June 18, 2019, we issued a promissory note in the principal face amount of $2,900,000. Pursuant to the terms of the note, we were required to make six monthly amortization payments beginning on July 18, 2019. We have not made these payments and this note is currently in default. We are in negotiations with the investors to amend the payment terms on this Note.
