CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION

 

This report includes forward-looking statements that relate to future events or our future financial performance and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to differ materially from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. Words such as, but not limited to, “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “intend,” “plan,” “targets,” “likely,” “aim,” “will,” “would,” “could,” and similar expressions or phrases identify forward-looking statements. We have based these forward-looking statements largely on our current expectations and future events and financial trends that we believe may affect our financial condition, results of operation, business strategy and financial needs.

 

You should read thoroughly this report and the documents that we refer to herein with the understanding that our actual future results may be materially different from and/or worse than what we expect. We qualify all of our forward-looking statements by these cautionary statements including those made in this report, in Part I. Item 1A. Risk Factors also appear in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 and our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Some examples of risk factors which may affect our business are as follows:

 

  our lack of significant revenues/positive cash flow and history of losses,
  our ability to continue as a going concern,
  our ability to raise additional working capital as necessary,
  our ability to satisfy our obligations as they become due,
  the failure to successfully commercialize our product or sustain market acceptance,
  the reliance on third party agreements and relationships for development of our business,
  our operations in foreign markets.
  the control exercised by our management,
  the impact of government regulation on our business,
  our ability to effectively compete,
  the possible inability to effectively protect our intellectual property,
  the lack of a public market for our securities and the impact of the penny stock rules on trading in our common stock should a public market ever be established.

 

Other sections of this report include additional factors which could adversely impact our business and financial performance. New risk factors emerge from time to time and it is not possible for our management to predict all risk factors, nor can we assess the impact of all factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. Except for our ongoing obligations to disclose material information under the Federal securities laws, we undertake no obligation to release publicly any revisions to any forward-looking statements, to report events or to report the occurrence of unanticipated events. These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this report, and you should not rely on these statements without also considering the risks and uncertainties associated with these statements and our business.

IPSIDY INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

NOTE 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

In the opinion of Management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with instructions for Form 10-Q, include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) which we considered as necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the periods presented. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted. It is suggested that these condensed consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for future periods or the full year.

 

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Ipsidy Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries Innovation in Motion, Inc., MultiPay S.A.S., ID Global LATAM, IDGS S.A.S., ID Solutions, Inc., FIN Holdings Inc., Ipsidy Enterprises Limited, and Cards Plus Pty Ltd. (collectively the “Company”). All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Going concern

 

As of March 31, 2019, the Company had an accumulated deficit of approximately $78.7 million. For the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Company earned revenue of approximately $0.7 million and incurred a loss from operations of approximately $2.2 million.

 

The reports of our independent registered public accounting firm on our consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 contained an explanatory paragraph regarding our ability to continue as a going concern based upon our net losses and accumulated deficit.

 

These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which implies the Company will continue to meet its obligations and continue its operations for the next fiscal year. The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon financial support from the Company’s current shareholders, the ability of the Company to obtain additional equity financing to continue operations, the Company’s ability to generate sufficient cash flows from operations, successfully locating and negotiating with other business entities for potential acquisition and /or acquiring new clients to generate revenues and cash flows.

 

There is no assurance that the Company will ever be profitable or be able to secure funding or generate sufficient revenues to sustain operations. As such, there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Net Loss per Common Share

 

The Company computes net loss per share in accordance with FASB ASC 260, “Earnings per Share”. ASC 260 requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) on the face of the statement of operations. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period including stock options, using the treasury stock method, and convertible notes and stock warrants, using the if-converted method. In computing diluted EPS, the average stock price for the period is used in determining the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options, warrants and conversion of convertible notes. Diluted EPS excludes all dilutive potential common shares if their effect is anti-dilutive. The following potentially dilutive securities were excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per share for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 because their effect was antidilutive:

 

Security   2019     2018  
Stock Options     106,253,339       107,958,331  
Warrants     46,201,477       45,964,543  
Total     152,454,816       153,922,874  

  

Inventories

 

Inventories of kiosks held by IDGS S.A.S are stated at the lower of cost (using the first-in, first-out method) or net realizable value. The kiosks provide electronic ticketing for transit systems. Inventory of plastic/ID cards, digital printing material, which are held by Cards Plus Pty Ltd., are at the lower of cost (using the average method) or net realizable value. The Plastic/ID cards and digital printing material are used to provide plastic loyal ID and other types of cards. Inventories at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 consist of kiosks that were not placed into service and are held for sale and cards inventory. Any adjustments to reduce the cost of inventories to their net realizable value are recognized in earnings in the current period. As of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company recorded an inventory valuation allowance of approximately $589,000 and $707,000, respectively, to reflect net realizable value of the kiosks that are being held for sale and the Company believes no valuation allowance was necessary regarding the cards inventory.

 

Leases

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02 (Topic 842). Topic 842 amends several aspects of lease accounting, including requiring lessees to recognize leases with a term greater than one year as a right-of-use asset and corresponding liability, measured at the present value of the lease payments. In July 2018, the FASB issued supplemental adoption guidance and clarification to Topic 842 within ASU 2018-10 “Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases” and ASU 2018-11 “Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements.” The new guidance aims to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by requiring lessees to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and requiring disclosure of key information about leasing arrangements. A modified retrospective application is required with an option to not restate comparative periods in the period of adoption.

 

The Company, effective January 1, 2019 has adopted the provisions of the new standard. The Company decided to use the practical expedients available upon adoption of Topic 842 to aid the transition from current accounting to provisions of Topic 842. The package of expedients will effectively allow Ipsidy to run off existing leases, as initially classified as operating or financing and classify new leases after implementation under the new standard as the business evolves.

 

The practical expedients elected by the Company in transition permits us not to reassess our prior conclusions about lease identification, lease classification and initial direct costs. Furthermore, we will elect the short-term lease recognition exemption for leases with a term of 12 or less months which are not reasonably certain of exercising any available renewal options that would extend past 12 months. Additionally, we will continue to account for the executory costs of the direct financing lease as previously concluded and the initial direct costs were not considered significant.

 

The Company has operating leases principally for offices and some of the leases have renewal options. Management evaluates each lease independently to determine the purpose, necessity to its future operations in addition to other appropriate facts and circumstances.

  

We adopted Topic 842 using a modified retrospective approach for all existing leases at January 1, 2019. The adoption of Topic 842 impacted our balance sheet by the recognition of the operating lease right-of-use assets and the liability for operating leases. The accounting for finance leases (capital leases) was substantially unchanged. Accordingly, upon adoption, leases that were classified as operating leases under the previous guidance were classified as operating leases under Topic 842. The lease liability is based on the present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted using a market based incremental borrowing rate as the effective date of January 1, 2019 using current estimates as to lease term including estimated renewals for each operating lease. As of January 1, 2019, the Company recorded an adjustment of approximately $514,000 to operating lease right-of-use assets (“ROU”) and the related lease liability. See Note 12 for further information with respect to leases.

Revenue Recognition

 

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“Topic 606”). Topic 606 supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in ASU Topic 605, Revenue Recognition (“Topic 605”), and requires the recognition of revenue when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the considerations to which the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 also includes Subtopic 340-40, Other Assets and Deferred Costs - Contracts with Customers, which discusses the deferral of incremental costs of obtaining a contract with a customer, including the period of amortization of such costs. Collectively, we refer to Topic 606 and Subtopic 340-40 as the “new standard.” The new standard was adopted by the Company in the year beginning January 1, 2018.

 

The two permitted transition methods under the new standard are the full retrospective method, in which the new standard would be applied to each prior reporting period presented and the cumulative effect of applying the new standard would be recognized at the earliest period shown, or the modified retrospective method, in which the cumulative effect of applying the new standard would be recognized at the date of initial application. Based on our assessment, the impact of the new standard on our operations in prior periods was not significant. Below is the Company’s revenue recognition policy determined by revenue stream for its significant revenue generating activities through March 31, 2019.

 

Cards Plus - The Company recognizes revenue for the design and production of cards when products are shipped or a services have been performed due to the short term nature of the contracts.

 

Payment Processing – The Company recognizes revenue for variable fees generated for payment processing solutions that are earned on a usage fee over time based on monthly transaction volumes or on a monthly flat fee rate. Additionally, the Company also sells certain equipment from time to time for which revenue is recognized upon delivery to the customer.

 

Identity Solutions – The Company recognizes revenue based on the identified performance obligations over the performance period for fixed consideration and for variable fees generated that are earned on a usage fee based over time based on monthly transaction volumes or on a monthly flat fee rate. The Company had a deferred revenue contract liability of approximately $531,000 and $236,000 as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 for certain revenue that will be earned in future periods. The majority of the $236,000 of deferred revenue contract liability as of December 31, 2018 was earned in the three months ended March 31, 2019. We anticipate that approximately $400,000 of the deferred revenue contract liability as of March 31, 2019 will be earned in the year ended December 31, 2019.

 

In 2018, the Company introduced a pay for performance plan for internal and external sales force, which is based on a percentage of revenues received by the Company. In the three months ended March 31, 2019 and March 31, 2019, no commissions were earned. We will defer and amortize any direct and incremental commission as well as costs to obtain a contract over the term of the related contracts. As of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, there were no deferred commission.

  

We will review each new contract for the related performance obligations and related revenue and expense recognition implications. We expect that the revenues derived from the new identity services could include multiple performance obligations. A performance obligation under the new revenue standard is defined as a promise to provide a “distinct” good or service to a customer. The Company has determined that one possible treatment under the new standard is that these services will represent a stand-ready series of distinct daily services that are substantially the same, with the same pattern of transfer to the customer. Further, the Company has determined that the performance obligation to provide account access and facilitate transactions may meet the criteria for the “as invoiced” practical expedient, in that the Company has a right to consideration from a customer in an amount that corresponds directly with the value to the customer of the Company’s performance completed to date. As a result, the Company anticipates it may recognize revenue in the amount to which the Company has a right to invoice, based on completed performance at the relevant date. Additionally, the contracts could include implementation services, or support on an “as needed” basis and we will review each contract and determine whether such performance obligations are separate and distinct and apply the new standard accordingly to the revenue and expense derived from or related to each such service. A more complete analysis of the impact of the standard on these contracts will be performed at the period of time when services are expected to commence and the conclusions reached by management may be different from those described above. For the quarter ended March 31, 2019, no revenues were recognized or required to be recognized under this practical expedient.

Additionally, the Company will capitalize the incremental costs of acquiring and fulfilling a contract with a customer if the Company expects to recover those costs. The incremental costs of acquiring and fulfilling a contract are those that the Company incurs to acquire and fulfill a contract with a customer that it would not have incurred if the contract had not been acquired (for example, a sales commission or specific incremental costs associated with the contract).

 

The Company capitalizes the costs incurred to acquire and fulfill a contract only if those costs meet all the following criteria:

 

a. The costs relate directly to a contract or to an anticipated contract that the Company can specifically identify.
b. The costs generate or enhance resources of the Company that will be used in satisfying (or in continuing to satisfy) performance obligations in the future.
c. The costs are expected to be recovered.

 

The Company will capitalize contract acquisition and fulfillment costs related to signing or renewing contracts that meet the above criteria, which will be classified as contract cost assets in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets.

 

Contract cost assets are amortized using the straight-line method over the expected period of benefit beginning at the time revenue begins to be realized. The amortization of contract fulfillment cost assets associated with facilitating transactions are recorded as cost of services in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations. The amortization of contract acquisition cost assets associated with sales commissions that qualify for capitalization are recorded as selling, general and administrative expense in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations.

 

As of March 31, 2019, and December 31, 2018, the Company had deferred contract costs, represented by contract cost assets of approximately $5,000 and $11,000, respectively which are included in other currents assets for certain costs incurred for the future delivery of election support services. The performance obligation will be met over the next two years and the costs will be expensed as the associated revenue is recognized as the Company performances its obligations.

 

As of March 31, 2019, and December 31, 2018, the Company had approximately $15,000 of accounts payable and accrued expenses related to the delivery of biometric identity system and services. The $15,000 will be paid in accordance with the terms of the service provider agreements.

 

Share Based Payments

 

On June 20, 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07 which simplifies the accounting for share-based payments granted to nonemployees for goods and services. Under the ASU, most of the guidance on such payments to nonemployees would be aligned with the requirements for share-based payments granted to employees. Previously, share-based payment arrangements to nonemployees were accounted for under ASC 718, while nonemployee share-based payments issued for goods and services were accounted for under ASC 505-50. Before the amendment, the major difference for the Company (but not limited to) was the determination of measurement date which generally is the date on which the measurement of equity classified share-based payments becomes fixed. Equity classified share-based payments for employees was fixed at the time of grant. Equity-classified nonemployee share-based payment awards are no longer measured at the earlier of the date which a commitment for performance by the counterparty is reached or the date at which the counterparty’s performance is complete. They are now measured at the grant date of the award which is the same as share-based payments for employees. The Company adopted the requirements of the new rule as of January 1, 2019, the effective date of the new guidance.

 

The Company has determined on the date of adoption that the impact of the new standard is not significant.

 

12

 

 

Beginning in 2019, the Company in accordance with the requirements of the new standard will expense the fair value of the existing non-employee share-based payments over their vesting period using the fair value determined on the date of adoption. See note 9 of the notes to condensed consolidated financial statements as employee and non-employee share-based payments are presented.

NOTE 10 – DIRECT FINANCING LEASE

 

In September 2015, the Company and an entity in Colombia entered into a rental contract for the rental of 78 kiosks to provide cash collection and fare services at transportation stations. The lease term began in May 2016 when the kiosk was installed and operational and when the lease commenced. The term of the rental contract is ten years at an approximate monthly rental of $11,900. The lessee has the option at the end of the lease term to purchase each unit for approximately $40. The term of the lease approximates the expected economic life of the kiosks. The lease was accounted for as a direct financing lease.

 

The Company has recorded the transaction as it net investment in the lease and will receive monthly payments of $11,856 before estimated executory costs, or $142,272, annually, to reduce investment in the lease and record income associated with the related amount due. Executory costs are estimated to be $1,677 month and initial direct costs are not considered significant. The transaction resulted in incremental revenue in the quarter ended March 31, 2019 of approximately $16,000.

 

The equipment is subject to direct lease valued at approximately $748,000. At the inception of the lease term, the aggregate minimum future lease payments to be received was approximately $1,422,000 before executory cost. Unearned income recorded at the inception of this lease was approximately $474,000 and will be recorded over the term of the lease using the effective income rate method. Future minimum lease payments to be received under the lease for the next five years and thereafter are as follows:

NOTE 13 – SEGMENT INFORMATION

 

General information

 

The segment and geographic information provided in the table below is being reported consistent with the Company’s method of internal reporting. Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise for which separate financial information is available and which is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The CODM regularly reviews net revenue and gross profit by geographic regions. The Company’s products and services operate in two reportable segments; identity management and payment processing.

 

Information about revenue, profit/loss and assets

 

The CODM evaluates performance and allocates resources based on net revenue and operating results of the geographic region as the current operations of each geography are either primarily identity management or payment processing. Identity management revenue is generated in North America and Africa and payment processing is earned in South America which are the three geographic regions of the Company. We have included the lease income in payment processing are the leases are related to unattended ticking kiosks.

 

Long lived assets are in North America, South America and Africa. Most assets are intangible assets recorded from the acquisition of MultiPay (South America) in 2015 and FIN Holdings (North America and Africa) in 2016.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

Going concern

 

As of March 31, 2019, the Company had an accumulated deficit of approximately $78.7 million. For the three months ended March 31, 2019 the Company earned revenue of approximately $0.7 million and incurred a loss from operations of approximately $2.2 million.

 

The reports of our independent registered public accounting firms on our consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 contained an explanatory paragraph regarding our ability to continue as a going concern based upon our net losses.

 

20

 

 

These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which implies the Company will continue to meet its obligations and continue its operations for the next fiscal year. The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon financial support from the Company’s current shareholders, the ability of the Company to obtain additional equity financing to continue operations, the Company’s ability to generate sufficient cash flows from operations, successfully locating and negotiating with other business entities for potential acquisition and /or acquiring new clients to generate revenues and cash flows.

 

There is no assurance that the Company will ever be profitable or be able to secure funding or generate sufficient revenues to sustain operations. As such, there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

Overview

 

 Ipsidy Inc. (together with its subsidiaries, the “Company”, “we” or “our”) operates an Identity as a Service (IDaaS) platform that delivers a suite of secure, mobile, biometric identity solutions, available to any vertical, anywhere. In a world that is increasingly digital and mobile, our mission is to help our customers know with biometric certainty the identity of the people with whom they are engaging. We provide solutions to everyday problems: Who is applying for a loan? Who is accessing the computer system? Who is at the door?

 

Ipsidy provides secure, biometric identification, identity verification and electronic transaction authentication and processing services. We have developed an identity transaction platform for our customers, be they businesses, residences, governments, or other organizations, to enable their users to more easily verify and authenticate their identity through a mobile phone or portable device of their choosing (as opposed to dedicated hardware). Our system enables participants to complete transactions with a digitally signed authentication response, including the underlying transaction data. In this way our systems can provide pre-transaction authentication of identity as well as embed each user’s identity attributes, within every electronic transaction message processed through our platform, or other electronic systems.

 

We believe that it is essential that businesses and consumers know who is on the other side of an electronic transaction and have an audit trail, proving that the identity of the other party was duly authenticated. Our solutions are intended to provide our customers with the next level of transaction security, control and certainty. Our platform uses biometric and multi-factor identity solutions, which are intended to support a wide variety of electronic transactions. We define “electronic transactions” in the broadest sense to include not only financial transactions (i.e. exchanges of value in all of their forms), and legal transactions (e.g. approving the release of personal or other confidential data), but also access control to physical environments (e.g. entrances to offices, public buildings, data centers and other sensitive locations) and digital environments (e.g. accessing financial accounts, voting systems, email systems and controlling data network log-ins).

 

The Company’s products focus on the broad requirement for identity verification and authentication, and access and transaction controls and associated identity management needs. Organizations of all descriptions require cost-effective and secure mobile electronic transaction solutions for them and their customers. We aim to offer our customers solutions that can be integrated into each customer’s business and organizational operations in order to facilitate their use and enhance the end user customer experience.

 

Our digital mobile wallet applications, or electronic account holders are used to contain different services and accounts that can be easily added and enable users to conveniently and securely effect a variety of electronic transactions, using their identity. One example is for consumers and employees to use their mobile application to authenticate identity, in order to access secure digital, or physical environments. We recently announced the launch of our integrated Verified solution with Datapro as an add-on to their online banking software. Another example is our closed-loop payment account, digital issuance platform, that is intended to offer secure and cost-effective methods of conversion of cash and paper to electronic payments.

 

The Company’s solutions for fingerprint-based identity management and electronic payment transaction processing have been in the market for several years. For example, in December 2017, we won an international competitive tender to provide our IDSearch Automated Fingerprint Identification de-duplication system (AFIS) to the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission, for them to ensure that no duplicate entries existed in the voter roll for the 2018 election. The AFIS system was delivered under tight deadlines and within budget, in order to enable the voter roll to be published and the election to occur as planned.

 

21

 

 

Management believes that some of the advantages of the Company’s Identity Transaction Platform approach are the ability to leverage the platform to support a variety of vertical markets including the identity solutions and transaction processing sectors and the adaptability of the platform to the requirements of new markets and new products requiring low cost, secure, and configurable mobile solutions. These vertical markets include but are not limited to banking and payment transactions, elections, schools, public transportation, government and enterprise security. At its core, the Company’s offering, combining its proprietary biometric technologies, with those acquired is intended to facilitate the processing of diverse electronic transactions, be they payments, votes, or physical or digital access, all of which can include identity verification, authentication and identity transaction recording. The Company continues to invest in developing, patenting and acquiring the various elements necessary to enhance the platform, which is intended to allow us to achieve our goals.

 

The Company was incorporated in the State of Delaware on September 21, 2011 and changed its name to Ipsidy Inc. on February 1, 2017, and our common stock is traded on the OTCQX U.S. Market under the trading symbol “IDTY”. Our corporate headquarters is located at 670 Long Beach Blvd., Long Beach, NY 11561 and our main phone number is (516) 274-8700. We maintain a website at www.ipsidy.com. The contents of our website are not incorporated into, or otherwise to be regarded as part of, this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q

 

Adjusted EBITDA

 

This discussion includes information about Adjusted EBITDA that is not prepared in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA is not based on any standardized methodology prescribed by GAAP and is not necessarily comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. A reconciliation of this non-GAAP measure is included below.

 

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that represents GAAP net income (loss) adjusted to exclude (1) interest expense, (2) interest income, (3) provision for income taxes, (4) depreciation and amortization, (5) stock-based compensation expense (stock options and restricted stock) and (6) certain other items management believes affect the comparability of operating results.

 

Management believes that Adjusted EBITDA, when viewed with our results under GAAP and the accompanying reconciliations, provides useful information about our period-over-period results. Adjusted EBITDA is presented because management believes it provides additional information with respect to the performance of our fundamental business activities and is also frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of comparable companies. We also rely on Adjusted EBITDA as a primary measure to review and assess the operating performance of our company and our management, and it will be a focus as we invest in and grow the business. Additionally, we will continue to use Adjusted EBITDA in connection with our executive performance-based compensation in 2019.

 

Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider it in isolation from, or as a substitute for, analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations are:

 

    Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect our cash expenditures or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;

 

    Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs;

 

    Although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future, and Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements;

 

    Adjusted EBITDA does not include the impact of certain charges or gains resulting from matters we consider not to be indicative of our ongoing operations.

 

Because of these limitations, adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as a measure of discretionary cash available to us to invest in the growth of our business. We compensate for these limitations by relying primarily on our GAAP results and using Adjusted EBITDA only as a supplement to our GAAP results.

Adjusted EBITDA (Non-GAAP)  $(1,592,207)  $(1,660,307)

 

Adjusted EBITDA loss for the quarter ended March 31, 2019 decreased approximately $0.1 million due to higher revenue offset by an increased investment in salary and technology expense as the Company expanded its infrastructure to support future operations.

 

Three Months Ended March 31, 2019 and March 31, 2018

 

Revenues, net

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Company had revenues of approximately $0.7 million compared to $0.5 million in the three months ended March 31, 2018. There were increases across each region as a result of the introduction of new products and certain election services.

 

Cost of sales

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2019, cost of sales was higher than the cost of sales in the three months ended March 31, 2018 principally due to increased revenue at Cards Plus.

 

Operating Expenses

 

During the three-month period ended March 31, 2019 compared to March 31, 2018, general and administrative expense decreased by approximately $0.3 million principally due to lower stock compensation charges.

 

Depreciation and amortization expense increased in three months in the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to March 31, 2018 due to increased amortization expenses associated with the new platform and services being offered as well as the required change in accounting for lease accounting under the new standard.

 

23

 

Other Income (Expense)

 

Interest expense

 

Interest expense decreased in the three months ended March 31, 2019 principally due to a lower level of debt discount and debt amortization expense compared to the three months ended March 31, 2018.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Liquidity is the ability of a company to generate sufficient cash to satisfy its needs for cash. As of March 31, 2019, the Company had approximately $2.9 million of cash and had $2.2 million of net working capital.

 

Cash used in operating activities was approximately $1.7 million and $1.8 million in the three months ended March 31, 2019 and March 31, 2018, respectively.

 

We expect the revenue in the second quarter of 2019 revenue will be less than the second quarter of 2018 as we delivered and earned election services revenues in the second quarter of 2018. However, we are pursuing additional sources of revenue from the implementation of new platform services being offered.

 

We did not raise funds in the first quarter of 2019 but we intend to raise capital in the second quarter of 2019. The amount required will be dependent on current operations, future investment and the execution of our business plan. We do not have any formal commitments or arrangements for the sales of stock or the advancement or loan of funds at this time. There can be no assurance that such additional financing will be available to us on acceptable terms, or at market pricing, or at all. Our failure to obtain financing would have a material adverse effect on the organization.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

The Company has no off-balance sheet arrangements that are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is deemed by our management to be material to investors.

 

Recent Accounting Policies

 

The recent material accounting policies that may be the most critical to understanding of the financial results and conditions are discussed in Note 1 of the unaudited financial statements.

 

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

 

As a smaller reporting company, we are not required to include disclosure under this item.

 

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

The Company’s management with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. The term “disclosure controls and procedures”, as defined under Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based upon the evaluation of the disclosure controls and procedures at the end of the period covered by this report, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective for the quarter ended March 31, 2019.

 

24

 

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

During the quarter ended March 31, 2019 and, in the year end reporting ending December 31, 2018, the Company continues to improve its internal control over financial reporting and believes the disclosure controls and procedures are adequate to ensure accurate and timely financial reporting in accordance with the applicable standards.

 

  - The Company has adequate financial reporting monitoring activities to mitigate the risk of management override and performs a review of results and reporting from its entities located outside the United States.
  - The Company has reduced its reliance on outside consultants to review its financial statements as well as monitor new accounting principles to ensure compliance with GAAP and SEC disclosure requirements.
  - The Company has a General Counsel but will continue to use external counsel to support the review and edit of its financial statements to ensure compliance with SEC disclosure requirements.
  - The audit committee holds quarterly meetings and meets with the independent audit firm to support the financial reporting process.
  -

The Company has taken steps to enhance its internal governance and compliance function. The Company has Board committees and periodic and regular meetings are held with the internal governance and compliance functions to discuss and coordinate operational, compliance and financial matters.

 

Except as set forth above, there have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting

 

PART II

 

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

 

From time to time, the Company is a party to various legal or administrative proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. While any litigation contains an element of uncertainty, we have no reason to believe the outcome of such proceedings will have a material adverse effect on the financial condition or results of operations of the Company. 

 

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

 

Risk factors describing the major risks to our business can be found under Item 1A, “Risk Factors”, in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017. There has been no material change in our risk factors from those previously discussed in the Annual Report on Form 10-K.
