Boxlight Corporation
Notes to the Unaudited Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements
NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
THE COMPANY AND RECENT ACQUISITIVE GROWTH
Boxlight Corporation (“Boxlight”) designs, produces, and distributes interactive technology solutions to the education, corporate and government markets under its Clevertouch and Mimio brands. The Company’s solutions include interactive displays, collaboration software, supporting accessories and professional services.
BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Boxlight and its wholly owned subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”). All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
The accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements and related notes have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim unaudited consolidated condensed financial information and interim financial reporting guidelines and rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, they do not include all the information and notes required by GAAP for complete consolidated condensed financial statements. The unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year. These unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2021 and notes thereto contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in consolidated financial statements have been condensed. The December 31, 2021 balance sheet included herein was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements, but does not include all disclosures, including notes, required by GAAP for complete financial statements.
ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of certain assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Note 1 in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for 2021 contained in the Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the SEC on April 13, 2022, describes the significant accounting policies that the Company used in preparing our consolidated condensed financial statements. On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates our estimates, including, but not limited to, those related to revenue/reserves and allowances. The Company bases estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Company’s financial instruments primarily include cash, accounts receivable, derivative liabilities, accounts payable and debt. Due to the short-term nature of cash, accounts receivables and accounts payable, the carrying amounts of these assets and liabilities approximate their fair value. Debt approximates fair value due to either the short-term nature or recent execution of the debt agreement. The amount of consideration received is deemed to approximate the fair value of long-term debt net of any debt discount and issuance cost.
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset, or paid to transfer a liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants. A fair value hierarchy has been established for valuation inputs that gives the highest priority to quoted
7
prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. The fair value hierarchy is as follows:
● | Level 1 Inputs - Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date. |
● | Level 2 Inputs - Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These might include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (such as interest rates, volatilities, prepayment speeds, credit risks, etc.) or inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by market data by correlation or other means. |
● | Level 3 Inputs - Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (supported by little or no market activity). |
Financial assets and liabilities are classified based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment and may affect the valuation of the fair value of assets and liabilities and their placement within the fair value hierarchy levels.
The following table sets forth, by level within the fair value hierarchy, the Company’s financial liabilities that were accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 (in thousands):

INCOME (LOSS) PER COMMON SHARE
Basic net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period giving effect to all potentially dilutive securities to the extent they are dilutive. The dilutive effect of options to purchase common stock, restricted stock units subject to vesting and other share-based payment awards is calculated using the “treasury stock method,” which assumes that the “proceeds” from the exercise of these instruments are used to purchase common shares at the average market price for the period. The dilutive effect of convertible securities is calculated using the “if-converted method.” Under the if-converted method, securities are assumed to be converted at the beginning of the period, and the resulting common shares are included in the denominator of the diluted calculation for the entire period being presented.
8
Since the Company was in a loss position for the periods presented, basic net loss per share is the same as diluted net loss per share as the inclusion of all potential common shares outstanding would have been anti-dilutive. For the three months ended March 31, 2022, potentially dilutive securities that were not included in the diluted per share calculation because they would be anti-dilutive comprise 7.7 million shares from options to purchase common shares and unvested restricted shares as well as 3.4 million shares issuable upon exercise of warrants. Additionally, potentially dilutive securities from the assumed conversion of Series B and Series C convertible preferred stock (Note 12) into Class A common stock are excluded from the denominator because they would be anti-dilutive. For the three months ended March 31, 2021, potentially dilutive securities that were not included in the diluted per share calculation because they would be anti-dilutive comprise 7.7 million shares from options to purchase common shares and unvested restricted shares as well as 340,000 shares issuable upon exercise of warrants. Additionally, potentially dilutive securities from the assumed conversion of Series B and Series C convertible preferred stock (Note 12) into Class A common stock are excluded from the denominator because they would be anti-dilutive.
REVENUE RECOGNITION
In accordance with the FASB’s Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), the Company recognizes revenue at the amount to which it expects to be entitled when control of the products or services is transferred to its customers. Control is generally transferred when the Company has a present right to payment and the title, and the significant risks and rewards of ownership of products or services are transferred to its customers. Product revenue is derived from the sale of projectors, interactive panels and related software and accessories to distributors, resellers, and end users. Service revenue is derived from hardware maintenance services, product installation, training, software maintenance, and subscription services.
Nature of Products and Services and Related Contractual Provisions
The Company’s sales of interactive devices, including panels, projectors, and other interactive devices generally include hardware maintenance services, a license to software, and the provision of related software maintenance. In most cases, interactive devices are sold with hardware maintenance services with terms of approximately 60 months. Software maintenance includes technical support, product updates on a when and if available basis, and error correction services. At times, non-interactive projectors are also sold with hardware maintenance services with terms of approximately 60 months. The Company also licenses software independently of its interactive devices, in which case it is bundled with software maintenance, and in some cases, subscription services that include access to on-line content, and cloud-based applications. The Company’s software subscription services provide access to content and software applications on an as needed basis over the Internet, but do not provide the right to take delivery of the software applications.
The Company’s product sales, including those with software and related services, generally include a single payment up front for the products and services, and revenue is recorded net of estimated sales returns and rebates based on the Company’s expectations and historical experience. For most of the Company’s product sales, control transfers, and therefore, revenue is recognized when products are shipped at the point of origin. When the Company transfers control of its products to the customer prior to the related shipping and handling activities, the Company has adopted a policy of accounting for shipping and handling activities as a fulfillment cost rather than a performance obligation. For many of the Company’s software product sales, control is transferred when shipped at the point of origin since the software is installed on the interactive hardware device in advance of shipping. For software product sales, control is transferred when the customer receives the related interactive hardware since the customer’s connection to the interactive hardware activates the software license at which time the software is made available to the customer. For the Company’s software maintenance, hardware maintenance, and subscription services, revenue is recognized ratably over time as the services are provided since time is the best output measure of how those services are transferred to the customer.
The Company’s installation, training, and professional development services are generally sold separately from the Company’s products. Control of these services is transferred to our customers over time with hours/time incurred in providing the service being the best depiction of the transfer of services since the customer is receiving the benefit of the services as the work is performed.
For the sale of third-party products and services where the Company obtains control of the products and services before transferring it to the customer, the Company recognizes revenue based on the gross amount billed to customers. The Company considers multiple factors when determining whether it obtains control of the third-party products and services including, but not limited to, evaluating if it can establish the price of the product, retains inventory risk for tangible products or has the responsibility for ensuring
9
acceptability of the product or service. The Company has not historically entered into transactions where it does not take control of the product or service prior to transfer to the customer.
The Company excludes all taxes assessed by a governmental agency that are both imposed on and concurrent with the specific revenue-producing transaction from revenue (for example, sales and use taxes). In essence, the Company is reporting these amounts collected on behalf of the applicable government agency on a net basis as though they are acting as an agent. The taxes collected and not yet remitted to the governmental agency are included in accounts payable and accrued expenses in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
Customer Financing Arrangements
Through a third-party leasing partner, we provide financing programs that are designed to offer customers a variety of options to purchase interactive technology solutions whereby customers enter into purchase agreements with us along with a separate financing or leasing contract with a third-party lender, who advances the proceeds from the sale to us upon contract execution and shipment of goods. In such situations, the sales to the customer are final and the Company bears no risk of loss regarding subsequent payments.
Significant Judgments
For contracts with multiple performance obligations, each of which represent promises within a contract that are distinct, the Company allocates revenue to all distinct performance obligations based on their relative stand-alone selling prices (“SSPs”). The Company’s products and services included in its contracts with multiple performance obligations generally are not sold separately and there are no observable prices available to determine the SSP for those products and services. Since observable prices are not available, SSPs are established that reflect the Company’s best estimates of what the selling prices of the performance obligations would be if they were sold regularly on a stand-alone basis. The Company’s process for estimating SSPs without observable prices considers multiple factors that may vary depending upon the unique facts and circumstances related to each performance obligation including, when applicable, the estimated cost to provide the performance obligation, market trends in the pricing for similar offerings, product-specific business objectives, and competitor or other relevant market pricing and margins. Because observable prices are generally not available for the Company’s performance obligations that are sold in bundled arrangements, the Company does not apply the residual approach to determining SSP. However, the Company does have certain performance obligations for which pricing is highly variable or uncertain, and contracts with those performance obligations generally contain multiple performance obligations with highly variable or uncertain pricing. For these contracts the Company allocates the transaction price to those performance obligations using an alternative method of allocation that is consistent with the allocation objective and the guidance on determining SSPs in Topic 606 considering, when applicable, the estimated cost to provide the performance obligation, market pricing for competing product or service offerings, residual values based on the estimated SSP for certain goods, product-specific business objectives, incremental values for bundled transactions that include a service relative to similar transactions that exclude the service, and competitor pricing and margins. A separate price has not been established by the Company for its hardware maintenance services and software maintenance services. In addition, hardware maintenance services, software solutions, and the related maintenance services are never sold separately and are proprietary in nature, and the related selling price of these products and services is highly variable or uncertain. Therefore, the SSP of these products and services is estimated using the alternative method described above, which includes residual value techniques.
The Company has applied the portfolio approach to its allocation of the transaction price for certain portfolios of contracts that are executed in the same manner, contain the same performance obligations, and are priced in a consistent manner. The Company believes that the application of the portfolio approach produces the same result as if they were applied at the contract level.
Contract Balances
The timing of invoicing to customers often differs from the timing of revenue recognition and these timing differences can result in receivables, contract assets, or contract liabilities (deferred revenue) on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. Fees for the Company’s product and most service contracts are fixed, except as adjusted for rebate programs when applicable, and are generally due within 30-60 days of contract execution. Fees for installation, training, and professional development services are fixed and generally become due as the services are performed. The Company has an established history of collecting under the terms of its contracts without providing refunds or concessions to its customers. The Company’s contractual payment terms do not vary when products are bundled with services that are provided over multiple years. In these contracts where services are expected to be transferred on an ongoing basis for several years after the related payment, the Company has determined that the contracts generally do not include a significant
10
financing component. The upfront invoicing terms are designed 1) to provide customers with a predictable way to purchase products and services where the payment is due in the same timeframe as when the products, which constitute the predominant portion of the contractual value, are transferred, and 2) to ensure that the customer continues to use the related services; so that the customer will receive the optimal benefit from the products during the course of such product’s lifetime. Additionally, the Company has elected the practical expedient to exclude any financing component from consideration for contracts where, at contract inception, the period between the transfer of services and the timing of the related payment is not expected to exceed one year.
The Company has an unconditional right to consideration for all products and services transferred to the customer. That unconditional right to consideration is reflected in accounts receivable in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets in accordance with Topic 606. Contract liabilities are reflected in deferred revenue in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and reflect amounts allocated to performance obligations that have not yet been transferred to the customer related to software maintenance, hardware maintenance, and subscription services. The Company has no material contract assets on March 31, 2022 or December 31, 2021. During the three months ended March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2021, the Company recognized $1.9 million and $1.6 million, respectively of revenue that was included in the deferred revenue balance as of December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.
Variable Consideration
The Company’s otherwise fixed consideration in its customer contracts may vary when refunds or credits are provided for sales returns, stock rotation rights, price protection provisions, or in connection with certain other rebate provisions. The Company generally does not allow product returns other than under assurance warranties or hardware maintenance contracts. However, the Company, on a case-by-case basis, will grant exceptions, mostly for “buyer’s remorse” where the distributor or reseller’s end customer either did not understand what they were ordering or otherwise determined that the product did not meet their needs. An allowance for sales returns is estimated based on an analysis of historical trends. In very limited situations, a customer may return previous purchases held in inventory for a specified period of time in exchange for credits toward additional purchases. The Company includes variable consideration in its transaction price when there is a basis to reasonably estimate the amount of the fee and it is probable there will not be a significant reversal. These estimates are generally made using the expected value method based on historical experience and are measured at each reporting date. There was no material revenue recognized in the first quarter of 2022 related to changes in estimated variable consideration that existed at December 31, 2021.
Remaining Performance Obligations
A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to the customer and is the unit of accounting within the contract. The transaction price is allocated to each distinct performance obligation and recognized as revenue when, or as, the performance obligation is satisfied by transferring the promised good or service to the customer. The Company identifies performance obligations at contract inception so that it can monitor and account for the obligations over the life of the contract. Remaining performance obligations represent the portion of the transaction price in a contract allocated to products and services not yet transferred to the customer. As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the aggregate amount of the contractual transaction prices allocated to remaining performance obligations was $22.3 million and $21.5 million, respectively. The Company expects to recognize revenue on 35% of the remaining performance obligations during the next
, 26% in , 34% in , with the remaining 5% recognized .In accordance with Topic 606, the Company has elected not to disclose the value of remaining performance obligations for contracts for which the Company recognizes revenue at the amount to which it has the right to invoice for services performed (for example, a time-and-materials professional services contracts). In addition, the Company has elected not to disclose the value of remaining performance obligations for contracts with performance obligations that are expected, at contract inception, to be satisfied over a period that does not exceed one year.
Disaggregated Revenue
The Company disaggregates revenue based upon the nature of its products and services and the timing and in the manner which it is transferred to the customer. Although all products are transferred to the customer at a point in time, hardware and some software is pre-installed on the interactive device are transferred at the point of shipment, while some software is transferred to the customer at the time the hardware is received by the customer or when software product keys are delivered electronically to the customer. All service revenue is transferred over time to the customer; however, professional services are generally transferred to the customer within a year
11
from the contract date as measured based upon hours or time incurred while software maintenance, hardware maintenance, and subscription services are generally transferred over five years from the contract execution date as measured based upon the passage of time.

Contract Costs
The Company capitalizes incremental costs to obtain a contract with a customer if the Company expects to recover those costs. The incremental costs to obtain a contract are those that the Company incurs to obtain a contract with a customer that it would not have otherwise incurred if the contract were not obtained (e.g., a sales commission). The Company capitalizes the costs incurred to fulfill a contract only if those costs meet all the following criteria:
● | The costs relate directly to a contract or to an anticipated contract that the Company can specifically identify. |
● | 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. |
● | The costs are expected to be recovered. |
Certain sales commissions incurred by the Company are determined to be incremental costs to obtain the related contracts, which are deferred and amortized ratably over the estimated economic benefit period. For these sales commissions that are incremental costs to obtain where the period of amortization would be recognized over a period that is one year or less, the Company has elected the practical expedient to expense those costs as incurred. Commission costs that are deferred are classified as current or non-current assets based on the timing of when the Company expects to recognize the expense and are included in prepaid and other assets and other assets, respectively, in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. Total deferred commissions, net of accumulated amortization, was $322 thousand on March 31, 2022.
RECENTLY ADOPTED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
Leases
Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2016-02 "Leases” (Topic 842), as amended, requires that lessees and lessors recognize lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclose key information about leasing arrangements. The Company elected the modified retrospective approach which we applied on January 1, 2022, and therefore have not restated comparative periods. The Company elected certain relief options offered in ASU 2016-02 including the package of practical expedients, and the option not to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities that arise from short-term leases (i.e., leases with terms of twelve months or less).The Company also elected the practical expedient to not separate lease and non-lease components, which allows it to account for lease and non-lease components as a single component. Finally, the Company elected the hindsight practical expedient to determine the lease term for existing leases.
Our operating leases relate primarily to office space. As a result of the adoption of ASU 2016-02, the Company recognized an operating lease right-of-use ("ROU") asset of $3.8 million and a current operating lease liability of approximately $1.6 million and a long-term operating lease liability of approximately $2.3 million as of January 1, 2022, with no impact on our Consolidated Statements
12
of Comprehensive Income or Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. The ROU asset and operating lease liabilities are recorded as separate line items in the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets.
SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
We reviewed all material events through the date on which these consolidated condensed financial statements were issued for subsequent event disclosure consideration as described in Note 17.
ACCOUNTING STANDARDS PENDING ADOPTION
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments Credit Losses” (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. The new guidance replaces the incurred loss methodology with the current expected credit loss (CECL) methodology. The measurement of expected credit losses under the CECL methodology is applicable to financial assets measured at amortized cost, including trade accounts receivable. It also applies to off-balance sheet credit exposures not accounted for as insurance (loan commitments, standby letters of credit, financial guarantees, and other similar instruments) and net investments in leases recognized by a lessor in accordance with Topic 842. This new guidance changes the impairment model for most financial assets and certain other instruments. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that this standard will have, if any, on its financial statements.
There were various other accounting standards and interpretations issued recently, some of which although applicable, are not expected to a have a material impact on our financial position, operations, or cash flows.
NOTE 2 – RECENT BUSINESS ACQUISITIONS
FrontRow Calypso LLC
On December 31, 2021, the Company, and its wholly owned subsidiary, Boxlight, Inc., consummated the acquisition of 100% of the membership interests of FrontRow Calypso LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“FrontRow”). FrontRow was acquired in exchange for payment of $34.7 million to Phonic Ear Inc. and Calypso Systems LLC, the equity holders of FrontRow (the “Equityholders”). The acquisition occurred pursuant to the terms of a membership interest purchase agreement, dated October 29, 2021 (the “Purchase Agreement”), between the Company, Boxlight, FrontRow and the Equityholders, which Purchase Agreement was filed as Exhibit 10.1 to our Current Report on Form 8-K dated October 29, 2021.
Based in Petaluma, California, FrontRow makes technology that improves communication in learning environments, including developing network-based solutions for intercom, paging, bells, mass notification, classroom sound, lesson sharing, AV control and management. FrontRow also has offices in Toronto, Copenhagen, Brisbane, Hamilton (UK) and Shenzhen.
In order to finance the acquisition of FrontRow, the Company and substantially all of its direct and indirect subsidiaries, including Boxlight and FrontRow as guarantors, entered into a maximum $68.5 million term loan credit facility, dated December 31, 2021 (the “Credit Agreement”), with Whitehawk Finance LLC, as lender (the “Lender”), and White Hawk Capital Partners, LP, as collateral agent. Under the terms of the Credit Agreement, the Company received an initial term loan of $58.5 million on December 31, 2021 (the “Initial Loan”) and was provided with a subsequent delayed draw facility of up to $10 million that may be provided for additional working capital purposes under certain conditions.
The assets acquired and liabilities assumed were recorded at their estimated fair values at the acquisition date. Determining the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed requires management to use significant judgment and estimates, including the selection of valuation methodologies, estimates of future revenue, costs and cash flows, discount rates, and selection of comparable companies. The Company engaged the assistance of an independent third-party valuation specialist to determine certain fair value measurements related to acquired assets. The excess consideration over the net fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed was recognized as goodwill.
The fair value or net realizable value of inventories at the date of acquisition was determined using a “top-down” approach based upon the estimated sales value, less a reasonable profit margin and less the estimated costs to dispose of the inventory, including selling costs and other disposal costs such as freight. Accordingly, the carrying amount of inventories at the acquisition date was increased to its estimated fair value based on these assumptions which will result in an increase in cost of revenues subsequent to the
13
acquisition date in 2022. The fair value of accounts receivable acquired in connection with the acquisition approximated the contractual amount due from customers at that date.
The Company has early adopted ASU 2021-08, and therefore, the acquired contract liabilities of FrontRow have been recognized and measured in accordance with Topic 606 as follows.

NOTE 7 – LEASES
The Company has entered into various operating leases for certain office, support locations and vehicles with terms extending through February 2027. Generally, these leases have initial lease terms of five years or less. Many of the leases have one or more lease renewal options. The exercise of lease renewal options is at our sole discretion. The Company does not consider exercise of any lease renewal options reasonably certain. Certain of our lease agreements contain early termination options. No renewal options or early termination options have been included in the calculation of the operating right-of-use assets or operating lease liabilities. Certain of our
16
lease agreements provide for periodic adjustments to rental payments for inflation. As the majority of the Company's leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate at the commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. The incremental borrowing rate is based on the term of the lease. In connection with the adoption of ASC 842, the Company used incremental borrowing rates on January 1, 2022 for operating leases that commenced prior to that date. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet. For these short-term leases, lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. At March 31, 2022, the Company had no leases classified as finance leases. The Company is not a lessor in any lease arrangement.
Operating lease cost was $469 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2022. Variable lease cost and short-term lease cost were not material for the three months ended March 31, 2022. Cash paid for amounts included in the measurement of lease liabilities was $423 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2022. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company obtained new operating lease right-of-use assets totaling $1.8 million.

Whitehawk Finance LLC
In order to finance the acquisition of FrontRow, the Company and substantially all its direct and indirect subsidiaries, including Boxlight and FrontRow as guarantors, entered into a maximum $68.5 million term loan credit facility, dated December 31, 2021 (the “Credit Agreement”), with Whitehawk Finance LLC, as lender (the “Lender”), and White Hawk Capital Partners, LP, as collateral agent. Under the terms of the Credit Agreement, the Company received an initial term loan of $58.5 million on December 31, 2021 (the “Initial Loan”) and was provided with a subsequent delayed draw facility of up to $10 million that may be provided for additional working capital purposes under certain conditions (the “Delayed Draw”). The Initial Loan and Delayed Draw are collectively referred to as the “Term Loans”. The proceeds of the Initial Loan were used to finance the Company’s acquisition of FrontRow, pay off all indebtedness owed to our then existing lenders, Sallyport Commercial Finance, LLC and Lind Global Asset Management, LLC, pay related fees and transaction costs, and provide working capital. Of the Initial Loan, $8.5 million was subject to repayment on February 28, 2022, with quarterly principal payments of $625,000 and interest payments commencing March 31, 2022 and the $40.0 million remaining balance plus any Delayed Draw loans becoming due and payable in full on December 31, 2025. The Term Loans will bear interest at the LIBOR rate plus 10.75%; provided that after June 30, 2022, if the Company’s Senior Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) is less than 2.25, the interest rate would be reduced to LIBOR plus 10.25%. Such terms are subject to the Company maintaining a borrowing base in terms compliant with the Credit Agreement.
On March 29, 2022, the Company received a Notice of Events of Default and Reservation of Rights (the “Notice”) from the Collateral Agent, alleging, among other things, defaults as a result of (i) failure to repay $8.5 million of the facility by February 28, 2022, (ii) non-compliance with the borrowing base resulting in the Company being in an over advance position under the Credit Agreement, and (iii) failure to timely provide certain reports and documents. As a result of the Notice, all accrued and unpaid interest owed under the Term Loan, became subject to a post-default interest rate equal to the highest interest rate allowed for under the Credit Agreement plus 2.50% until such time as the Events of Default were either waived or cured. Following the Company’s receipt of the Notice and pursuant to amendment to the Credit Agreement, dated April 4, 2022, the Collateral Agent and Lender agreed to extend the terms of repayment of the $8.5 million originally due on February 28, 2022 until February 28, 2023 and waive and/or otherwise extend compliance with certain other terms of the Credit Agreement in order to allow the Loan Parties adequate time to comply with such terms. The principal elements of the amendment included (a) an extension of time for the Loan Parties to repay $8.5 million of the principal amount of the term loan from February 28, 2022 to February 28, 2023, and (b) forbearance on $3,500,000 in over advances to grant the Loan Parties until May 16, 2022 to allow the Company to come into compliance with the borrowing base requirements set forth in the Credit Agreement. In such connection, the Loan Parties have obtained credit insurance on certain key customers whose principal offices are located in the European Union and Australia as, without the credit insurance, their accounts owed to the Loan Parties had been deemed ineligible for inclusion in the borrowing base calculation primarily due to the perceived inability of the Collateral Agent to enforce security interests on such accounts.
In addition, the Lender and Collateral Agent agreed to (i) reduce, through June 30, 2022, the minimum cash reserve requirement for the Loan Parties, (ii) reduce the interest rate by 50 basis points (to Libor plus+ 9.75%) after delivery of the Loan Parties’ June 30, 2023 financial statements, subject to the Loan Parties maintaining 1.75 EBITDA coverage ratio, and (iii) waive all prior Events of
18
Default under the Credit Agreement. In conjunction with the amendment to the Credit Agreement, the parties entered into an amended and restated fee letter (the “Fee Letter”) pursuant to which the parties agreed to prepayment premiums of (i) 5% for payments made on or before December 31, 2022, (ii) 4% for payments made between January 1, 2023 and December 31, 2023, and (iii) 2% for payments made between January 1, 2024 and December 31, 2025 a. Furthermore, the parties agreed that no prepayment premiums would be payable with respect to the first $5.0 million paid under the Term Loan, any payments made in relation to the $8.5 million due on or before February 28, 2023, any required amortization payments under the Credit Agreement and any mandatory prepayments by way of ECF or casualty events.
In conjunction with its receipt of the Initial Loan, the Company issued to the Lender (i) 528,169 shares of Class A common stock (the “Shares”), which Shares were registered pursuant to our existing shelf registration statement and were delivered to the Lender in January 2022, (ii) a warrant to purchase 2,043,291 shares of Class A common stock (subject to increase to the extent of 3% of any Series B and Series C convertible preferred stock converted into Class A common stock), exercisable at $2.00 per share (the “Warrant”), which Warrant was subject to repricing on March 31, 2022 based on the arithmetic volume weighted average prices for the 30 trading days prior to March 31, 2022, in the event our stock is then trading below $2.00 per share, (iii) a 3% fee of $1,800,000, and (iv) a $500,000 original issue discount. In addition, the Company agreed to register for resale the shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrant. The Company also incurred agency fees, legal fees, and other costs in connection with the execution of the Credit Agreement totaling approximately $1.7 million. Under the terms of the warrant issued to Whitehawk on December 31, 2021, the exercise price of the warrants would reprice if the stock price on March 31, 2022 was less than the original exercise price, at which time the number of warrants would also be increased proportionately, so that after such adjustment the aggregate exercise price payable for the increased number of warrant shares would be the same as the aggregate exercise price previously in effect. The warrants repriced on March 31, 2022 to $1.19 per share and the shares increased to 3,434,103.

NOTE 10 – DERIVATIVE LIABILITIES
The Company determined that certain warrants to purchase common stock do not satisfy the criteria for classification as equity instruments due to the existence of certain net cash and non-fixed settlement provisions that are not within the sole control of the Company. Conversion and exercise prices may be lowered if the Company issues securities at lower prices in the future. Such warrants are measured at fair value at each reporting date, and the changes in fair value are included in determining net income (loss) for the period. The Company hired a third party to determine the fair value of the derivative liabilities at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 using a Monte Carlo Simulation model to determine the fair value.

The Company recorded an income tax benefit of $86 thousand and an expense of $21 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2021, respectively. The year-to-date effective tax rate is (139.3)% due to there being no tax expense/benefit for the legacy Boxlight entities, but the Sahara entities are fully taxable.
The Company operates in the United States, United Kingdom, and other jurisdictions. Income taxes have been provided based upon the tax laws and rates of the countries in which operations are conducted and income is earned.
Prior to the Sahara acquisition, the Company had a net deferred tax asset position in the United States, the United Kingdom, and other jurisdictions, primarily driven by net operating losses. The recoverability of these deferred tax assets depends on the Company’s ability to generate taxable income in the jurisdiction to which the loss carryforward applies. The Company also depends on specific tax provisions in each jurisdiction that could impact utilization. The Company has evaluated both positive and negative evidence as to the ability of its legacy entities in each jurisdiction to generate future taxable income. Based on its history of cumulative losses in those jurisdictions, we believe it is appropriate to maintain a full valuation allowance on the Company’s net deferred tax asset at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021.
Due to the Sahara and Interactive Concepts acquisitions, the Company has recognized a net deferred tax liability for the acquired entities, primarily driven by acquired intangible assets for which it does not have tax basis in the jurisdictions in which operates (primarily the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, and the United States). The Company does not expect to qualify for any consolidated filing positions in any of these countries, so there is no ability to net the deferred tax liabilities of the Sahara companies against the deferred tax assets of the legacy Boxlight companies.
The tax years from 2016 to 2021 remain open to examination by the major taxing jurisdictions to which the Company is subject. The Company has not identified any uncertain tax positions at this time.
During the second quarter of 2021, the Company became aware of a potential state tax exposure for failure to file minimum tax returns in a state for several years. The Company has tentatively agreed to the proposed tax assessment, but it is appealing the associated interest and penalty assessment. The Company has recorded an exposure item of $82 thousand for its best estimate of the amount for which it will settle the exposure. This amount includes $24 thousand of income tax and $58 thousand of penalties and interest.

NOTE 12 – EQUITY
Preferred Shares
The Company’s articles of incorporation provide that the Company is authorized to issue 50,000,000 shares of preferred stock consisting of: 1) 250,000 shares of non-voting Series A preferred stock, with a par value of $0.0001 per share; 2) 1,200,000 shares of voting Series B preferred stock, with a par value of $0.0001 per share; 3) 270,000 shares of voting Series C preferred stock, with a par value of $0.0001 per share; and 4) 48,280,000 shares of “blank check” preferred stock to be designated by the Company’s board of directors.
Issuance of preferred shares
Series A Preferred Stock
At the time of the Company’s initial public offering, the Company issued 250,000 shares of the Company’s non-voting convertible Series A preferred stock to Vert Capital for the acquisition of Genesis. All of the Series A preferred stock was convertible into 398,406 shares of Class A common stock, at the discretion of the Series A stockholder. On August 5, 2019, a total of 82,028 shares of Series A preferred stock were converted into a total of 130,721 shares of Class A common stock. As of March 31, 2022, a total of 167,972 shares of Series A preferred stock remained outstanding.
Series B Preferred Stock and Series C Preferred Stock
On September 25, 2020, in connection with the acquisition of Sahara, the Company issued 1,586,620 shares of Series B Preferred Stock and 1,320,850 shares of Series C Preferred Stock. The Series B Preferred Stock has a stated and liquidation value of $10.00 per share and pays a dividend out of the earnings and profits of the Company at the rate of 8% per annum, payable quarterly. The Series B Preferred Stock is convertible into the Company’s Class A common stock at a conversion price of $1.66 per share which was the closing price of the Company’s Class A common stock on the Nasdaq Stock Market on September 25, 2020 (the “Conversion Price”). Such conversion may occur either (i) at the option of the holder at any time after January 1, 2024, or (ii) automatically upon the Company’s Class A common stock trading at 200% of the Conversion Price for 20 consecutive trading days (based on a volume weighted average price). The Series C Preferred Stock has a stated and liquidation value of $10.00 per share and is convertible into the Company’s Class A common stock at the Conversion Price either (i) at the option of the holder at any time after January 1, 2026, or (ii) automatically upon the Company’s Class A common stock trading at 200% of the Conversion Price for 20 consecutive trading days (based on a volume weighted average price).
To the extent not previously converted into the Company’s Class A common stock, the outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall be redeemable at the option of the holders at any time or from time to time commencing on January 1, 2024, upon ,30 days prior written notice to the holders, for a redemption price, payable in cash, equal to the sum of (a) ($10.00) multiplied by the number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock being redeemed (the “Redeemed Shares”), plus (b) all accrued and unpaid dividends, if any, on such Redeemed Shares. The Series C Preferred Stock is also subject to redemption on the same terms commencing January 1, 2026. The aggregate estimated fair value of the Series B and C Preferred Stock of $28.9 million was included as part of the total $94.9 million consideration paid for the purchase of Sahara.
As the redemption features in the Series B Preferred Stock and Series C Preferred Stock are not solely within the control of the Company, the Company has classified the Series B Preferred Stock and Series C Preferred Stock as mezzanine or temporary equity in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet.
On March 24, 2021, the Company entered into a share redemption and conversion agreement with certain holders of Series B and Series C preferred stock (the “Redemption Agreement”) which allows the Company to redeem and repurchase each such stockholder’s shares of Series B preferred stock on or before June 30, 2021 for the stated or liquidation value of approximately £11.5 million (or approximately $15.9 million) plus accrued dividends from January 1, 2021 to the date of purchase. Such stockholders hold 96% of the Series C preferred stock. Upon redemption, the Series C shares held by such stockholders would convert into approximately 7.6 million shares of Class A Common Stock at the stated conversion price of $1.66 per share.
23
On June 14, 2021, the Company entered into an amendment to the Redemption Agreement (the “Amended Redemption Agreement”) for purposes of extending the completion date to on or before December 31, 2021. In addition, the Amended Redemption Agreement changed the definition of “Redemption Payments” such that the redemption payment schedule would begin on or before May 31, 2021, for the quarter then ended and continue quarterly until the date of completion.
Regarding these amendments, the Company applied the accounting guidance from ASC 470-50 pertaining to determining whether an amendment to an equity-classified preferred share is an extinguishment or modification, and concluded that the Amended Redemption Agreement on June 14, 2021, as it effected the Series B Preferred Stock, resulted in an extinguishment of the original equity instruments subject to redemption agreement. Accordingly, the Series B Preferred Stock subject to the Amended Redemption Agreement was recorded at its fair value as of June 14, 2021, and a $367 thousand deemed contribution was credited to additional-paid-in-capital. With the Redemption Agreement, the Series B Preferred Stock includes a beneficial conversion feature, but in accordance with ASC 470-20, since it is dependent upon contingencies that are not solely in the control of the holder, the beneficial conversion feature was not recognized for accounting purposes. Since we early adopted (as of January 1, 2021) ASU No. 2020-06, “Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity”, which includes a key provision eliminating the beneficial conversion feature guidance in ASC Subtopic 470-20, “Debt with Conversion and Other Options”, we will not record the beneficial conversion feature. The amendments in ASU 2020-06 further revise the guidance in ASC 260, Earnings Per Share, to require entities to calculate diluted earnings per share for convertible instruments by using the if-converted method. In addition, entities must presume share settlement for purposes of calculating diluted EPS when an instrument may be settled in cash or shares.
Common Stock
The Company’s common stock consists of 1) 150,000,000 shares of Class A voting common stock and 2) 50,000,000 shares of Class B non-voting common stock. Class A and Class B common stock have the same rights except that Class A common stock is entitled to one vote per share while Class B common stock has no voting rights. Upon any public or private sale or disposition by any holder of Class B common stock, such shares of Class B common stock would automatically convert into shares of Class A common stock. As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had 65,522,438 and 63,821,901 shares of Class A common stock
and , respectively. No Class B shares were outstanding at March 31, 2022 or December 31, 2021.Issuance of common stock

NOTE 13 – STOCK COMPENSATION
Grants made under the Equity Incentive Plans must be approved by the Company’s board of directors. As of March 31, 2022, the total number of underlying shares of the Company’s Class A common stock available for grant to directors, officers, key employees and consultants of the Company or a subsidiary of the Company under the Company’s 2021 Equity Incentive Plan and 2014 Equity Inventive Plan, as amended (together “Equity Incentive Plans”), in the aggregate were 5,000,000 and 725,381 shares, respectively.
The 2021 Equity Incentive Plan was approved by the Company’s Board on April 12, 2021 and approved by the shareholders at the Company’s 2021 Annual Shareholders Meeting held on June 25, 2021.
On April 15, 2020, the Company’s 2014 Equity Incentive Plan was amended, whereby the board of directors approved increasing the shares available for issuance under the 2014 Equity Incentive Plan by 3,700,000 shares. The Company obtained shareholder approval of the aforementioned action at the Company’s 2020 annual meeting of stockholders, which was held on September 4, 2020. The number of underlying shares available under the 2014 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended, was 6,390,438.
Stock Options
Under our stock option program, pursuant to the Equity Incentive Plans, an employee receives an award that provides the opportunity in the future to purchase the Company’s shares at the market price of our stock on the date the award is granted (the strike price). The options become exercisable over a range of immediately vested to four-year vesting periods and expire five years from the grant date, unless stated differently in the option agreements, if they are not exercised. Stock options have no financial statement effect on the date they are granted but rather are reflected over time through compensation expense. We record compensation expense based on the estimated fair value of the awards which is amortized as compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. Accordingly, total expense related to the award is reduced by the fair value of options that are forfeited by employees that leave the Company prior to vesting.

The Company estimates the fair value of each stock option award on the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option pricing model. As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the stock options had an intrinsic value of approximately $1.1 million and $1.9 million, respectively.
25
Restricted Stock Units
Under our Equity Incentive Plans the Company may grant restricted stock units (“RSUs”) to certain employees and non-employee directors. Upon granting the RSUs, the Company recognizes a fixed compensation expense equal to the fair market value of the underlying shares of RSUs granted on a straight-line basis over the requisite services period for the RSUs. Compensation expense related to the RSUs is reduced by the fair value of units that are forfeited by employees that leave the Company prior to vesting. The RSUs vest over a range of immediately vested to four-year vesting periods in accordance with the terms of the applicable RSU grant agreement.
The following is a summary of the RSU activities during the three months ended March 31, 2022.

During the three months ended March 31, 2022, and in accordance with the terms of his employment agreement, Michael Pope, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, received 166,137 shares of restricted Class A common stock units, and 494,069 of stock options, which shares remain subject to certain vesting conditions. The shares vest in substantially equal monthly installments over a period of twelve months.
During the three months ended March 31, 2021 and in accordance with the terms of his employment agreement, Michael Pope, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, received 875,000 shares of restricted Class A common stock.

Overview
We are a technology company that is seeking to become a world-wide leading innovator and integrator of interactive products and software for schools, education, business, and government interactive spaces. We currently design, produce and distribute interactive displays, collaboration software, supporting accessories and professional services. We also distribute science, technology, engineering, and math (or “STEM”) products, including our robotics and coding system, 3D printing solution and portable science lab. Our products are integrated into our software suite that provides tools for presentation creation and delivery, assessment, and collaboration.
To date, we have generated substantially all of our revenue from the sale of our hardware (primarily consisting of interactive displays) and software to the educational market in the United States and Europe.
We have also implemented a comprehensive plan to reach and maintain profitability both from our core business operations and as a result of making strategic business acquisitions. Highlights of our plan include:
● | Integrating products of the acquired companies and cross training our sales reps to increase their offerings and productivity. |
● | Hiring new sales representatives with significant industry experience in their respective territories. |
● | Expanding our reseller partner network both in key territories and in new markets, thereby increasing our penetration and reach. |
Recent Acquisitions
On December 31, 2021, the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, Boxlight, Inc, consummated the acquisition of 100% of the membership interests of FrontRow Calypso LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“FrontRow”). FrontRow was acquired in exchange for payment of $34.7 million to Phonic Ear Inc. and Calypso Systems LLC, the equity holders of FrontRow (the “Equityholders”). The acquisition occurred pursuant to the terms of a membership interest purchase agreement, dated October 29, 2021 (the “Purchase Agreement”), between the Company, Boxlight, FrontRow and the Equityholders.
Based in Petaluma, California, FrontRow makes technology that improves communication in learning environments, including developing network-based solutions for intercom, paging, bells, mass notification, classroom sound, lesson sharing, AV control and management. FrontRow also has offices in Toronto, Copenhagen, Brisbane, Hamilton (UK) and Shenzhen
On March 23, 2021, the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding shares of Interactive Concepts BV, a company incorporated and registered in Belgium and a distributor of interactive technologies (“Interactive”), for total consideration of approximately $3.3 million in cash, common stock, and deferred consideration. Interactive has been the Company’s key distributor in Belgium and Luxembourg.
Acquisition Strategy and Challenges
Our growth strategy includes acquiring assets and technologies of companies that have products, technologies, industry specializations or geographic coverage that extend or complement our existing business. The process to undertake a potential acquisition is time-consuming and costly. We expect to expend significant resources to undertake business, financial and legal due diligence on our potential acquisition targets, and there is no guarantee that we will complete any acquisition that we pursue.
29
We believe we can achieve significant cost-savings by merging the operations of the companies we acquire and after their acquisition leverage the opportunity to reduce costs through the following methods:
● | Staff reductions – consolidating resources, such as accounting, marketing, and human resources. |
● | Economies of scale – improved purchasing power with a greater ability to negotiate prices with suppliers. |
● | Improved market reach and industry visibility – increase in customer base and entry into new markets. |
Components of our Results of Operations and Financial Condition
Revenues are comprised of hardware products, software services, and professional development revenues less sales discounts.
● | Product revenue. Product revenue is derived from the sale of our hardware (interactive projectors), flat panels, peripherals, and accessories, along with other third-party products, directly to our customers, as well as through our network of domestic and international distributors. |
● | Professional development revenue. We receive revenue from providing professional development services through third parties and our network of distributors. |
Cost of revenues
Our cost of revenues is comprised of the following:
● | costs to purchase components and finished goods directly; |
● | third-party logistics costs; |
● | inbound and outbound freight costs, and customs and duties charges; |
● | costs associated with the repair of products under warranty; |
● | write-downs of inventory carrying value to adjust for excess and obsolete inventory and periodic physical inventory counts; and |
● | cost of professionals to deliver professional development training related to the use of our products. |
We outsource some of our warehouse operations and order fulfillment and purchase products from related and third parties. Our product costs will vary directly with volume and the costs of underlying product components as well as the prices we are able to negotiate with our contract manufacturers. Shipping costs fluctuate with volume as well as with the method of shipping chosen in order to meet customer demand. As a global company with suppliers centered in Asia and customers located worldwide, we have used, and may in the future use, air shipping to deliver our products directly to our customers. Air shipping is more costly than sea or ground shipping or other delivery options. We primarily use air shipping to meet the demand of our products during peak seasons and new product launches.
Gross profit and gross profit margin
Our gross profit and gross profit margin have been, and may in the future be, influenced by several factors including: product, channel, and geographical revenue mix; changes in product costs related to the release of projector models; component, contract manufacturing and supplier pricing and foreign currency exchange. As we primarily procure our product components and manufacture our products in Asia, our suppliers incur many costs, including labor costs, in other currencies. To the extent that exchange rates move unfavorably for our suppliers, they may seek to pass these additional costs on to us, which could have a material impact on our future average selling prices and unit costs. Gross profit and gross profit margin may fluctuate over time based on the factors described above.
30
Operating expenses
We classify our operating expenses into two categories: general and administrative and research and development.
General and administrative. General and administrative expense consists of personnel related costs, which include salaries and stock-based compensation, as well as the costs of professional services, such as accounting and legal, facilities, information technology, depreciation and amortization and other administrative expenses. General and administrative expense may fluctuate as a percentage of revenue, notably in the second and third quarters of our fiscal year when we have historically experienced our highest levels of revenue.
Research and development. Research and development expense consists primarily of personnel related costs, prototype and sample costs, design costs and global product certifications mostly for wireless certifications.
Other income (expense), net
Other income (expense), net primarily consists of interest expense associated with our debt financing arrangements, gains (losses) on the settlements of debt and trade payable obligations exchanged for common shares, and the effects of changes in the fair value of derivative liabilities.
Income tax expense
We are subject to income taxes in the jurisdictions in which we do business, including the United States, United Kingdom, Mexico, Sweden, Finland, Holland, and Germany. The United Kingdom, Mexico, Sweden, Finland, Holland, and Germany have a statutory tax rate different from that in the United States. Additionally, certain of our international earnings are also taxable in the United States. Accordingly, our effective tax rates will vary depending on the relative proportion of foreign to U.S. income, the absorption of foreign tax credits, changes in the valuation of our deferred tax assets and liabilities and changes in tax laws. We regularly assess the likelihood of adverse outcomes resulting from the examination of our tax returns by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service, or IRS, and other tax authorities to determine the adequacy of our income tax reserves and expense. Should actual events or results differ from our current expectations, charges or credits to our income tax expense may become necessary. Any such adjustments could have a significant impact on our results of operations.
Operating Results – Boxlight Corporation
For the three-month periods ended March 31, 2022 and 2021
Revenues. Total revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2022 were $50.6 million as compared to $33.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021, resulting in a 51.5% increase in revenue. Revenues primarily consist of hardware revenue, software revenue, and professional development. The increase in revenues was primarily due to the acquisition of FrontRow in December 2021, as well as increased demand for our solutions in the U.S. and Europe. FrontRow revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2022 was $6.5 million.
Cost of Revenues. Cost of revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2022 was $38.0 million compared to $24.9 million for the three months ended March, 31, 2021, resulting in a 52.6% increase. Cost of revenues consists primarily of product cost, freight expenses, customs expense, and inventory adjustments. The increase in cost of revenues was associated with the acquisitions and growth of the business and was also due to additional increases in global freight/shipping which the company has experienced (as have many others) as a result of supply chain issues arising as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. During 2021, the cost increase was approximately four times normal costs as compared to pre-pandemic levels. We expect such cost increases to continue throughout 2022.
Gross Profit. Gross profit for the three months ended March 31, 2022, was $12.6 million, as compared to $8.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021. The gross profit margin for the three months was 24.9% which is a reduction of 7 basis points compared to the comparable three months in 2021. Gross profit margin, adjusted for the net effect of acquisition-related purchase accounting, was 27.4% as compared to the 28.0%, as adjusted, reported for the three months ended March 31, 2021. As previously reported gross margins continue to be adversely impacted by supply chain challenges with increased freight costs
31
which are now expected to continue throughout 2022; however, we anticipate gross profit percentage improvements in Q2 and beyond with reduced manufacturing costs.
General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2022 were $15.5 million and 30% of revenues, as compared to $10.1 million and 30% of revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2021. The increase was mainly a result of new hires for planned growth and stock compensation issuances.
Research and Development Expenses. Research and development expenses were $612 thousand and 1.2% of revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2022, as compared to $474 thousand and 1.4% of revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2021. Research and development expense primarily consists of costs associated with development of our proprietary hardware and software technologies.
Other Expense (net). Other expense (net) for the three months ended March 31, 2022 was $1.5 million, as compared to $3.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021. Other expense decreased primarily due to $2.7 million less in losses recognized upon the settlement of certain debt obligations in exchange for issuance of common shares, offset by a $1.3 million increase in interest expense associated with increased borrowings due to the new credit facility.
Income Tax Expense (benefit). Income tax benefit for the three months ending March 31, 2021 was $86 thousand, as compared to $21 thousand in income tax expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2021.
Net Loss. Net loss was $4.9 million in the three months ended March 31, 2022 and $5.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021, respectively.
To provide investors with additional insight and allow for a more comprehensive understanding of the information used by management in its financial and decision-making surrounding operations, we supplement our condensed consolidated financial statements which are prepared in accordance with GAAP with EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, both non-GAAP financial measures of earnings.
|
EBITDA represents net income (loss) before income tax expense, interest income, interest expense, depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA represents EBITDA, plus stock compensation expense, the change in fair value of derivative liabilities, purchase accounting impact of fair valuing inventory and deferred revenue, and non-cash losses associated with debt settlement. Our management uses EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as financial measures to evaluate the profitability and efficiency of our business model, and to assess the strength of the underlying operations of our business. These adjustments, and the non-GAAP financial measure that is derived from them, provide supplemental information to analyze our operations between periods and over time. Investors should consider our non-GAAP financial measures in addition to, and not as a substitute for, financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Discussion of Effect of Seasonality on Financial Condition
Certain accounts on our financial statements are subject to seasonal fluctuations. As our business and revenues grow, we expect these seasonal trends to be reduced. The bulk of our products are shipped to our educational customers prior to the beginning of the school year, usually in July, August, or September. To prepare for the upcoming school year, we generally build up inventories during the second quarter of the year. Therefore, inventories tend to be at the highest levels at that point in time. In the first quarter of the year, inventories tend to decline significantly as products are delivered to customers and we do not need the same inventory levels during the first quarter. Accounts receivable balances tend to be at the highest levels in the third quarter, in which we record the highest level of sales.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of March 31, 2022, we had cash and cash equivalents of $11.3 million, a working capital balance of $49.6 million, and a current ratio of 2.02. This financial position represents a significant improvement from a year ago at March 31, 2021 when we had $10.0 million of cash and cash equivalents, a working capital balance of $21.8 million, and a current ratio of 1.56.
In addition to the cash flows generated by our ongoing operating activities we financed our operations during first quarter 2022 with our new credit facility from Whitehawk.
In the current lingering COVID-19 pandemic environment, the availability of debt and equity capital has been reduced and the cost of capital has increased. Increasing our capital through equity issuance at this time could cause significant dilution to our existing stockholders. However, we are confident that the Company will be able to manage through the current challenges in the equity and debt finance markets by managing payment terms with customers and vendors.
Our cash requirements consist primarily of day-to-day operating expenses, capital expenditures and contractual obligations with respect to facility leases. We lease all our office facilities. We expect to make future payments on existing leases from cash generated from operations. We have limited credit available from our major vendors and are required to prepay for the majority of our inventory purchases, which further constrains our cash liquidity.
33
Recent Financing
To finance the acquisition of FrontRow, the Company and substantially all its direct and indirect subsidiaries, including Boxlight, Sahara and FrontRow as guarantors, entered into a maximum $68.5 million term loan credit facility, dated December 31, 2021 and as amended April 4, 2022 (the “Amended Credit Agreement”), with Whitehawk Finance LLC, as lender (the “Lender”), and White Hawk Capital Partners, LP, as collateral agent. Under the terms of the Credit Agreement, the Company received an initial term loan of $58.5 million on December 31, 2021 (the “Initial Loan”) and was provided with a subsequent delayed draw facility of up to $10 million that may be provided for additional working capital purposes under certain conditions (the “Delayed Draw”). The Initial Loan and Delayed Draw are collectively referred to as the “Term Loans.” The proceeds of the Initial Loan were used to finance the Company’s acquisition of FrontRow, pay off all indebtedness owed to our existing lenders, Sallyport Commercial Finance, LLC and Lind Global Asset Management, LLC, pay related fees and transaction costs, and provide working capital. Of the Initial Loan, $8.5 million was subject to repayment on February 28, 2022, with quarterly principal payments of $625,000 and interest payments commencing March 31, 2022 and the $50.0 million remaining balance plus any Delayed Draw loans becoming due and payable in full on December 31, 2025. The Term Loans will bear interest at the LIBOR rate plus 10.75%; provided that after June 30, 2022, if the Company’s Senior Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) is less than 2.25, the interest rate would be reduced to LIBOR plus 10.25%. Such terms are subject to the Company maintaining a borrowing base in terms compliant with the Credit Agreement.
On March 29, 2022, the Company received a Notice of Events of Default and Reservation of Rights (the “Notice”) from the Collateral Agent, alleging, among other things, defaults as a result of (i) failure to repay $8.5 million of the facility by February 28, 2022, (ii) non-compliance with the borrowing base resulting in the Company being in an over advance position under the Credit Agreement, and (iii) failure to timely provide certain reports and documents. As a result of the Notice, all accrued and unpaid interest owed under the Term Loan, became subject to a post-default interest rate equal to the highest interest rate allowed for under the Credit Agreement plus 2.50% until such time as the Events of Default are either waived or cured. Following the Company’s receipt of the Notice and pursuant to amendment to the Credit Agreement, dated April 4, 2022, the Collateral Agent and Lender agreed to extend the terms of repayment of the $8.5 million originally due on February 28, 2022 until February 28, 2023 and waive and/or otherwise extend compliance with certain other terms of the Credit Agreement in order to allow the Loan Parties adequate time to comply with such terms. The principal elements of the amendment included (a) an extension of time for the Loan Parties to repay $8.5 million of the principal amount of the term loan from February 28, 2022 to February 28, 2023, and (b) forbearance on $3,500,000 of over advances to grant the Loan Parties until May 16, 2022 to allow the Company to come into compliance with the borrowing base requirements set forth in the Credit Agreement. In such connection, the Loan Parties have since obtained credit insurance on certain key customers whose principal offices are located in the European Union and Australia as, without the credit insurance, their accounts owed to the Loan Parties had been deemed ineligible for inclusion in the borrowing base calculation primarily due to the perceived inability of the Collateral Agent to enforce security interests on such accounts.
In addition, the Lender and Collateral Agent agreed to (i) reduce, through June 30, 2022, the minimum cash reserve requirement for the Loan Parties, (ii) reduce the interest rate by 50 basis points (to Libor plus + 9.75%) after delivery of the Loan Parties’ June 30, 2023 financial statements, subject to the Loan Parties maintaining 1.75 EBITDA coverage ratio, and (iii) waive all prior Events of Default under the Credit Agreement. In conjunction with the amendment to the Credit Agreement, the parties entered into an amended and restated fee letter (the “Fee Letter”) pursuant to which the parties agreed to prepayment premiums of (i) 5% for payments made on or before December 31, 2022, (ii) 4% for payments made between January 1, 2023 and December 31, 2023, and (iii) 2% for payments made between January 1, 2024 and December 31, 2025. Furthermore, the parties agreed that no prepayment premiums would be payable with respect to the first $5.0 million paid under the Term Loan, any payments made in relation to the $8.5 million due on or before February 28, 2023, any required amortization payments under the Credit Agreement and any mandatory prepayments by way of ECF or casualty events.

We have no significant off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, results of operations or liquidity and capital resources.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our consolidated condensed financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). In connection with the preparation of our financial statements, we are required to make assumptions and
34
estimates about future events and apply judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, expenses, and the related disclosures. We base our assumptions, estimates and judgments on historical experience, current trends, and other factors that management believes to be relevant at the time our consolidated condensed financial statements are prepared. On a regular basis, we review the accounting policies, assumptions, estimates and judgments to ensure that our financial statements are presented fairly and in accordance with GAAP. However, because future events and their effects cannot be determined with certainty, actual results could differ from our assumptions and estimates, and such differences could be material.
Our significant accounting policies are discussed in the notes to the unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements. We believe that the following accounting estimates are the most critical to aid in fully understanding and evaluating our reported financial results, and they require our most difficult, subjective, or complex judgments, resulting from the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain:
1. | Revenue recognition |
2. | Business acquisitions |
3. | Goodwill and Intangible assets |
4. | Stock-based compensation expense |
Status as Emerging Growth Company
We are an “emerging growth company,” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, or the JOBS Act. As an emerging growth company, we were able to take advantage of certain specified reduced reporting and other regulatory requirements that are available to public companies that are emerging growth companies.
These provisions include:
(1) | an exemption from the auditor attestation requirement in the assessment of our internal controls over financial reporting required by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002; |
(2) | an exemption from the adoption of new or revised financial accounting standards until they would apply to private companies; |
(3) | an exemption from compliance with any new requirements adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, or the PCAOB, requiring mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the auditor’s report in which the auditor would be required to provide additional information about our audit and our financial statements; and |
(4) | reduced disclosure about our executive compensation arrangements. |
We elected to take advantage of the exemption from the adoption of new or revised financial accounting standards until they would apply to private companies. As a result of this election, our financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with public company effective dates.
Under Section 2(a)(19) of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 3(a)(80) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, an emerging growth company will lose its status upon the earliest of several conditions, one of which is reaching the last day of the fiscal year in which the fifth anniversary of the company’s first sale of equity securities pursuant to an effective registration statement occurs. For the Company, this will occur on January 1, 2023.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk
As a “smaller reporting company,” this item is not required.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
(a) Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures.
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted to the SEC under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the SEC’s rules and forms, and that information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the principal executive and financial officer as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. Our principal executive officer and principal financial officer evaluated the effectiveness of disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report (“Evaluation Date”), pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Exchange Act. Based on that evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of the Evaluation Date, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to material weaknesses described in our 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Notwithstanding the existence of these material weaknesses, we believe that the consolidated condensed financial statements included in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q fairly present in accordance with U.S. GAAP, in all material respects, our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented in this report.
Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls.
A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Because of the inherent limitations in all controls systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within a company have been detected. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving its objectives.
(b) Changes in internal controls over financial reporting.
During 2022, the Company’s management has engaged professional services firms to assist with the preparation of the review of the income tax provision. Management has also engaged third-party professional services who prepared FrontRow financial statements and value warrant issued in connection with Whitehawk credit facility. There were no additional changes made in the internal controls over financial reporting for the quarter ended March 31, 2022, that have materially affected our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II — OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
None.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
The Company has experienced challenges within the global supply chain which has impacted the business in three key areas: (i) movement and/or delay in production schedules due to component shortages, (ii) continued delays to global shipping and receipt of goods and (iii) increased shipping costs which has reduced gross profit margin. In addition, there is presently a global silicon chip supply shortage that could potentially cause disruptions in our supply chain. While the Company’s business has not yet been affected by such disruption, in the event any of our suppliers experience such supply chain disruption, there is potential that such disruption could ultimately affect our ability to timely obtain and deliver finished goods and products. Furthermore, there is heightened uncertainty
36
surrounding global supply chains, global markets and general global economic uncertainty as a result of the ongoing conflict between Russia and the Ukraine ad the continuing COVID-19 pandemic.
For additional risk factors pertinent our business please refer to the Part I Item 1A of the Company’s 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K, which is incorporated by reference herein.
