Boxlight Corporation
Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
NATURE OF OPERATIONS
Boxlight Corporation, a Nevada Corporation (“Boxlight”), designs, produces and distributes interactive technology solutions to the education, corporate and government markets under its Clevertouch and Mimio brands. Boxlight’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 condensed consolidated 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 condensed consolidated 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 condensed consolidated financial statements. The unaudited condensed consolidated 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 condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2022 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, 2022 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.
Effective January 1, 2023, the Company’s internal reporting structure used by the Chief Operating Decision Maker changed that resulted in changes to the Company’s segment reporting to align with the geographic markets in which it operates, as further discussed below and in Note 16 - Segments. Corresponding prior period amounts have been restated to conform to current period classification.
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 condensed consolidated 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 2022 contained in the Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the SEC on March 17, 2023, describes the significant accounting policies that the Company used in preparing its condensed consolidated financial statements. On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its 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 receivable 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, variable rate, 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.
8
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 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, 2023 and December 31, 2022 (in thousands):

INCOME (LOSS) PER COMMON SHARE
Basic net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. For purposes of this calculation, options to purchase
9
common stock, restricted stock units subject to vesting, and warrants to purchase common stock were considered to be common stock equivalents. Diluted net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders 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.
For the three months ended March 31, 2023, potentially dilutive securities that were not included in the diluted per share calculation because they would be anti-dilutive comprise 6.4 million shares from options to purchase common shares, 2.6 million of unvested restricted shares and 11.1 million shares issuable upon exercise of warrants. Additionally, potentially dilutive securities of 17.8 million shares from the assumed conversion of preferred stock are excluded from the denominator because they would be 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 3.8 million shares from options to purchase common shares, 3.9 million of unvested restricted shares and 3.4 million shares issuable upon exercise of warrants. Additionally, potentially dilutive securities of 17.8 million shares from the assumed conversion of preferred stock are excluded from the denominator because they would be anti-dilutive.
REVENUE RECOGNITION
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 the products or services, have been 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 30-60 months. Software maintenance includes technical support, product updates performed 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.
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
10
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 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 terms. 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 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 performance obligations generally included in its contracts. In addition, the Company’s contracts generally include performance obligations that are never sold separately, 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.
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 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 can 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 condensed consolidated balance sheets in accordance with Topic 606. Contract liabilities are reflected in deferred revenue in the accompanying condensed 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 had no material contract assets as of March 31, 2023 or December 31, 2022. During the three months ended March 31, 2023 and March 31, 2022, the Company recognized $2.1 million and $1.9 million of revenue that was included in the deferred revenue balance as of December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.
Variable Consideration
The Company’s otherwise fixed consideration 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
11
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 three months ended March 31, 2023 related to changes in estimated variable consideration that existed at December 31, 2022.
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, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the aggregate amount of the contractual transaction prices allocated to remaining performance obligations was $24.1 million and $23.9 million, respectively. The Company expects to recognize revenue on 34% of the remaining performance obligations during the next twelve months, 28% in the following twelve months, 21% in
, 13% in , with the remaining 4% 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 which comes pre-installed on an interactive device is 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 from the contract date as measured based upon hours or time incurred while software maintenance, hardware maintenance, and subscription services are generally transferred over
to five years from the contract execution date as measured based upon the passage of time.Three Months Ended | |||||||

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; |
12
● | 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; and |
● | 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, on March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 was less than $300,000.
Bill and Hold Arrangements
From time to time the Company enters custodial bill and hold arrangements with customers. Each arrangement is reviewed, and revenue is recognized only when the following criteria have been met: (1) the reason for the bill-and-hold arrangement is substantive, (2) the product is identified as the customer’s asset, (3) the product is ready for delivery to the customer, (4) there is a fixed schedule for delivery, and (5) the seller cannot use the product or direct the product to another customer. As of March 31, 2023, $2.0 million of revenue was previously recognized for goods that are expected to be delivered to a customer during the second quarter.
SEGMENT REPORTING
ASC 280, Segment Reporting, establishes standards for reporting information about operating segments. Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker, or decision-making group, in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. Our chief operating decision maker (CODMs) is our Chief Executive Officer.
Effective January 1, 2023, the Company changed its segment reporting to align with the geographic markets in which it operates, as further discussed in Note 16 - Segments. The Company previously managed the Company as one operating segment. Following the integration of recent acquisitions which further expanded the Company’s operations into Europe, Middle East and Africa (“EMEA”) and other international markets, the Company’s operations are now organized, managed and classified into three reportable segments – EMEA, North and Central America (the “Americas”) and all other geographic regions (“Rest of World”). Our EMEA segment consists of the operations of Sahara Holding Limited. and its subsidiaries (the “Sahara Entities”). Our Americas segment consists primarily of Boxlight, Inc. and its subsidiaries and the Rest of World segment consists primarily of Boxlight Australia, PTY LTD ("Boxlight Australia”).
Each of our operating segments are primarily engaged in the sale of education technology products and services in the education market but which are also sold into the health, government and corporate sectors and derive a majority of their revenues from the sale of flat-panel displays, audio and other hardware accessory products, software solutions and professional services. Generally, our displays produce higher net operating revenues but lower gross profit margins than our accessory solutions and professional services. The Americas operating segment includes salaries and overhead for corporate functions that are not allocated to the Company’s individual reporting segments. Transfers between segments are generally valued at market and are eliminated in consolidation.
RECENTLY ADOPTED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments,” which introduced a new model for recognizing credit losses on financial instruments based on an estimate of current expected credit losses (“CECL”). The new guidance applies to loans, accounts receivable, trade receivables, other financial assets measured at amortized cost, loan commitments and other off-balance sheet credit exposures. The new guidance also applies to debt securities and other financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income. Estimated credit losses under CECL consider relevant information about past events, current conditions and reasonable and supporting forecasts that affect the collectability of financial assets. The new guidance was effective January 1, 2023 and was applied using a modified retrospective approach through a cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings as of January 1, 2023. Prior period comparative information has not been recast and continues to be reported under the accounting guidance in effect for those periods. The Company recognized a
13
cumulative-effect adjustment to reduce retained earnings by $76 thousand, net of taxes. The change in the allowance for credit losses was not significant during the three months ended March 31, 2023.
ACCOUNTING STANDARDS PENDING ADOPTION
There were various other accounting standards and interpretations issued recently, some of which although applicable, are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, operations, or cash flows.

Changes to gross carrying amount of recognized intangible assets due to translation adjustments include approximately $1.4 million reduction as of March 31, 2023 and $3.1 million reduction as of December 31, 2022.
NOTE 6 – LEASES
The Company has entered into various operating leases for certain offices, support locations and vehicles with terms extending through February 2028. 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 the Company’s sole discretion. The Company does not consider the exercise of any lease renewal options reasonably certain. Certain of the Company’s 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 the Company’s 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, 2023, the Company had no leases classified as finance leases. The Company is currently not a lessor in any lease arrangement.
Our corporate headquarters is located at 2750 Premiere Parkway, Duluth, GA, 30097 in an office space of approximately 12,000 square feet, for which we pay approximately $23,000 per month as rent pursuant to a rental agreement. Our corporate headquarters house our administrative offices. The Company leases warehouse space in Lawrenceville, Georgia, for approximately $13,000 per month. We also maintain offices in Scottsdale, Arizona and Utica, New York in the U.S., and in Dartford, London, Leeds and Livingston and Belfast in the United Kingdom. for sales, marketing, technical support and service staff. In addition, we also maintain sales, marketing and technical support offices in Apeldoorn, Netherlands, Anzegem, Belgium, Helsinki, Finland, Oskarshamn Kalmar, Sweden, and Düsseldorf, Germany
Operating lease expense was $564 thousand and $469 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and March 31, 2022, respectively. Variable lease costs and short-term lease cost were not material for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and March 31, 2022. Cash paid for amounts included in the measurement of lease liabilities was $621 thousand and $423 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and March 31, 2022, respectively.

Whitehawk Finance LLC
In order to finance the acquisition of FrontRow Calypso LLC (“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 (“WhiteHawk”). 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
16
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 the Company’s 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 bear interest at the LIBOR rate plus 10.75%; provided that after March 31, 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 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. The principal elements of the April amendment included (a) an extension of time 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 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 September 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’ September 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.
On June 21, 2022, the Company and substantially all of its direct and indirect subsidiaries (together with the Company, the “Loan Parties”), entered into a second amendment (the “Second Amendment”) to the four year term loan credit facility, originally entered into December 31, 2021 and as amended on April 4, 2022 (the “Credit Agreement”), with the Collateral Agent and Lender.
The Second Amendment to the Credit Agreement was entered into for purposes of the Lender funding a $2.5 million delayed draw term loan and adjusting certain terms to the Credit Agreement, including adjusting the Applicable Margin (as defined in the Second Amendment) to 13.25% for LIBOR Rate Loans and 12.25% for Reference Rate Loans, increasing the definition of change of control from 33% voting power to 40% voting power, requiring the Company to engage a financial advisor, and allowing additional time, until July 15, 2022, for the Company to come into compliance with certain borrowing base requirements set forth in the Second Amendment to the Credit Agreement, among other adjustments. During the three-month period ending March 31, 2023, the Company repaid principal of $656 thousand and interest of $2.0 million to Whitehawk. As of March 31, 2023, the Company was in compliance with all financial covenants under the Credit Facility.
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 its 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 September 30, 2022, in the event the Company’s 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.
17
On July 22, 2022, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with an accredited institutional investor. According to the terms of the Whitehawk agreement, this purchase agreement triggered a reduction of the exercise price of the warrants and a revaluation of the derivative liability. The warrants were repriced to $1.10 and shares increased to 3,715,075.
Paycheck Protection Program Loan
On May 22, 2020, the Company received loan proceeds of $1.1 million under the Paycheck Protection Program. During 2021, the Company applied for forgiveness in the amount of $836 thousand. On March 2, 2022, we received a decision letter from the lender that the forgiveness application had been approved, leaving a remaining balance of $173 thousand to be paid. The Company received a payment schedule from our lender on May 5, 2022, extending the payoff date until May 2025. As of March 31, 2023, the amount remaining on the loan was $113 thousand.
NOTE 9 – 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 used a Monte Carlo Simulation model to determine the fair value of the derivative liabilities as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

NOTE 10 – INCOME TAXES
Pretax (loss) income resulting from domestic and foreign operations is as follows (in thousands):
| Three Months Ended | Three Months Ended | ||||
March 31, | March 31, | |||||

The Company recorded income tax expense of $51 thousand and income tax benefit of $86 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and March 31, 2022, respectively. The year-to-date effective tax rate is (1.8)% due to there being no tax expense/benefit for the legacy Boxlight entities, but the Sahara entities are fully taxable.
The increase in tax expense year-over-year is largely due to foreign pretax book income for the three months ended March 31, 2023 as compared to foreign pretax loss for the three months ended March 31, 2022.
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.
The legacy Boxlight entities are in a net deferred tax asset position in the United States, the United Kingdom, and other jurisdictions, primarily driven by the aforementioned 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 carryforward applies. It also depends on specific tax provisions in each jurisdiction that could impact utilization. For example, in the United States, a change in ownership, as defined by federal income tax regulations, could significantly limit the Company’s ability to utilize its U.S. net operating loss carryforwards. Additionally, because U.S. tax laws limit the time during which the net operating losses generated prior to 2018 may be applied against future taxes, if the Company fails to generate U.S. taxable income prior to the expiration dates, the Company may not be able to fully utilize the net operating loss carryforwards to reduce future income taxes. 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 long history of cumulative losses in those jurisdictions, it believes it is appropriate to maintain a full valuation allowance on its net deferred tax asset at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022.
The Sahara entities have recorded a net deferred tax liability, which is primarily driven by the net deferred tax liability on the intangibles for which it does not have tax basis. This includes the deferred tax liability recorded during 2021 for the acquisition of Interactive Concepts. The Company does not 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 2009 to 2023 remain open to examination in the U.S. federal jurisdiction. The tax years from 2020 to 2023 remain open to examination in the U.K. Statutes of limitations vary in other immaterial jurisdictions.
On August 16, 2022, the president signed the Inflation Reduction Act ( IRA ) into law. The IRA enacted a 15% corporate minimum tax effective in 2024, a 1% tax on share repurchases after December 31, 2022, and created and extended certain tax-related energy incentives. We currently do not expect the tax-related provisions of the IRA to have a material effect on our financial results.
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 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. The Company has not identified any other material uncertain tax positions during the three months ended March 31, 2023.
NOTE 11 – 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) 1,586,620 shares of
19
voting Series B preferred stock, with a par value of $0.0001 per share; 3) 1,320,850 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, 2023, a total of 167,972 shares of Series A preferred stock remained outstanding which can be converted into 267,684 shares of Class A common stock, at the discretion of the Series A stockholder.
Series B Preferred Stock and Series C Preferred Stock
On September 25, 2020, in connection with the acquisition of Sahara Holding Limited ("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 $28.5 million was included as part of the total 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. As of March 31, 2023, a total of 1,586,620 and 1,320,850 shares of Series B and C preferred stock remained outstanding, respectively.
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, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had 75,078,661 and 74,716,696 shares of Class A common stock
and , respectively. No Class B shares were outstanding at March 31, 2023 or December 31, 2022.20
Issuance of common stock
Securities Purchase Agreement |
On July 22, 2022, the Company, entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with an accredited institutional investor (the “Investor”) pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue and sell, in a registered direct offering directly to the Investor, 7.0 million shares of the Company’s Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, pre-funded warrants (the “Pre-Funded Warrants”) to purchase 352,940 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.0001 per share, which Pre-Funded Warrants were issued in lieu of shares of common stock to ensure that the Investor did not exceed certain beneficial ownership limitations, and warrants to purchase an aggregate of 7,352,940 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.68 per share (the “Warrants,” and collectively with the Pre-Funded Warrants and the Shares, the “Securities”). The Securities were sold at a price of $0.68 per share for total gross proceeds to the Company of $5.0 million (the “Offering”), before deducting estimated offering expenses, and excluding the exercise of any Warrants or Pre-Funded Warrants. The Pre-Funded Warrants were exercisable immediately and the Warrants will be exercisable six months after the date of issuance and will expire
from the date of issuance. As such, the net proceeds to the Company from the Offering, after deducting placement agent’s fees and estimated expenses payable by the Company and excluding the exercise of any Warrants or Pre-Funded Warrants, was $4.6 million of which the proceeds net of issuance costs were allocated based on the relative fair values of the instruments, warrants and prefunded warrants; $2.4 million was allocated to common stock, $2.2 million was allocated to warrants and $118 thousand was allocated to the pre-funded warrants.
The Purchase Agreement contains customary representations and warranties and agreements of the Company and the Investors and customary indemnification rights and obligations of the parties. Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the Company has agreed to certain restrictions on the issuance and sale of its common stock or common stock equivalents (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) during the 60-day period following the closing of the Offering, which was on July 26, 2022. On August 9, 2022, the Investor exercised the prefunded warrants.
The Company evaluated whether the Warrants, Pre-Funded Warrants and/or Shares were in the scope of ASC 480 which discusses the accounting for instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity. The guidance in ASC 480, and the resulting liability classification, is applicable to such instruments when certain criteria are met. Based on its analysis, the Company concluded that the Warrants, Pre-Funded Warrants and Shares did not meet any of the criteria to be subject to liability classification under ASC 480 and are therefore classified as equity.
Credit Facility
In conjunction with its receipt of the Whitehawk loan, the Company issued to Whitehawk 528,169 shares of Class A common stock, which were registered pursuant to the Company’s existing shelf registration statement and were delivered to the Whitehawk in January 2022.
Repurchase Plan
On February 14, 2023, the Board of Directors of Boxlight Corporation approved the Company’s establishment of a share repurchase program (the “Repurchase Program”) authorizing the Company to purchase up to $15.0 million of the Company’s Class A common stock. Pursuant to the Repurchase Program, the Company may, from time to time, repurchase its Class A common stock in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions or by other means, including through the use of trading plans intended to qualify under Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, in accordance with applicable securities laws and other restrictions. The timing and total amount of any repurchases made under the Repurchase Program will depend upon business, economic and market conditions, corporate and regulatory requirements, prevailing stock prices, and other considerations. The authorization expires on January 26, 2027, may be suspended or discontinued at any time, and does not obligate the company to acquire any amount of Class A common stock.
Warrants
The Company had equity warrants outstanding of 7,366,690 and 7,365,440 at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.

NOTE 12 – STOCK COMPENSATION
The Company has issued grants under two equity incentive plans, both of which have been approved by the Company’s shareholders: (i) the 2014 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended (the “2014 Plan”), pursuant to which a total of 6,390,438 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock have been approved for issuance, and (ii) the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2021 Plan”), pursuant to which a total of 5,000,000 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock have been approved for issuance. Upon approval of the 2021 Plan in June 2021, any shares remaining available for issuance under the 2014 Plan were cancelled, and all future grants were issued under the 2021 Plan. The 2021 Plan allows for issuance of shares of our Class A common stock, whether through restricted stock, restricted stock units, options, stock appreciation rights or otherwise, to the Company’s officers, directors, employees and consultants. As of March 31, 2023, the Company has issued 6,199,231 shares under the 2021 Plan, such that the Company is over the authorized share number. The Company intends to increase the number of shares available for issuance under the 2021 Plan in May 2023. The fair value of any shares issued in excess of the approved shares under the 2021 Plan was less than $15 thousand and have been recorded in accounts payable and accrued expenses in the condensed consolidated balance sheets at March 31, 2023.
Stock Options
Under the Company’s stock option program, pursuant to the 2014 Plan and 2021 Plan, an employee receives an award that provides the opportunity in the future to purchase the Company’s shares at the market price of the 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 following is a summary of the option activities during the three months ended March 31, 2023:

On January 1, 2023, the company granted 2,041,098 options which vest ratably over three years. The Company estimates the fair value of each stock option award on the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option pricing model. The Company used the following inputs to value options issued during the three months ended March 31, 2023: market value on measurement date, $0.21 to $0.28; exercise price of $0.31 to $0.40; risk free interest rate, 4.19% to 4.22%; expected term, 3 years to 4 years; expected volatility, ranged from 111.45 to 111.74 and expected dividend yield of 0%.
Restricted Stock Units
Under the Company’s 2014 Plan and 2021 Plan, 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.

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,
25
and math (or “STEM”) products, including a robotics and coding system, 3D printing solution and portable science lab. The Company’s products are integrated into its software suite that provides tools for presentation creation and delivery, assessment, and collaboration.
Effective January 1, 2023, we changed our segment reporting to align with the geographic markets in which we operate. Our operations are now organized, managed, and classified into three reportable segments – Europe, Middle East and Africa (“EMEA”), North and Central America (“Americas”), and all other geographic regions (“Rest of World”). Our EMEA segment consists of the operations of Sahara Holding Limited and its subsidiaries. Our Americas segment consists primarily of Boxlight, Inc. and its subsidiaries, and the Rest of World segment consists primarily of Boxlight Australia, PTY LTD ("Boxlight Australia”).
Each of our operating segments are primarily engaged in the sale of education technology products and services in the education market but which are also sold into the health, government and corporate sectors and derive a majority of their revenues from the sale of flat-panel displays, audio and other hardware accessory products, software solutions and professional services. Generally, our displays produce higher net operating revenues but lower gross profit margins than our accessory solutions and professional services.
To date, we have generated substantially all of the Company’s revenue from the sale of 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 the plan include:
● | Integrating products of the acquired companies and cross training sales representatives to increase their offerings and productivity; |
● | Hiring new sales representatives with significant industry experience in their respective territories, and |
● | Expanding our reseller partner network both in key territories and in new markets, thereby increasing our penetration and reach. |
Acquisition Strategy and Challenges
The Company has completed multiple acquisitions from 2015 through 2021 and may target additional acquisition opportunities in future periods. The Company’s 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. In the event we pursue additional acquisitions, 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.
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; and |
● | Improved market reach and industry visibility – increasing out 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. |
26
● | 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
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; and 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 future average selling prices and unit costs. Gross profit and gross profit margin may fluctuate over time based on the factors described above.
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 the effects of changes in the fair value of derivative liabilities.
27
Income tax (expense) benefit
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 of the United States. Additionally, certain jurisdictions of the Company’s 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, 2023 and 2022
Revenues. Total revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2023 were $41.2 million as compared to $50.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, resulting in an 18.6% decrease. The decrease in revenues was primarily due to lower sales volume across all markets and a decrease in foreign exchange rates during the first quarter of 2023 compared to the first quarter of 2022.
Cost of Revenues. Cost of revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2023 were $26.0 million as compared to $38.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, resulting in a 31.4% decrease. The decrease in cost of revenues was attributable to the decrease in revenues, described above, along with lower manufacturing and shipping costs in the first quarter of 2023 compared to the prior year’s first quarter.
Gross Profit. Gross profit for the three months ended March 31, 2023 was $15.1 million as compared to $12.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, an increase of $2.5 million. The gross profit margin was 36.8% for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 24.9% for the three months ending March 31, 2022. The increase in gross profit is primarily related to the decrease in manufacturing and shipping costs noted above.
General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative (“G&A”) expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2023 were $14.7 million and 35.8% of revenue as compared to $15.5 million and 30.5% of revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The decrease can be attributed primarily to a decrease in stock compensation expense.
Research and Development Expenses. Research and development expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2023 were $0.6 million which was comparable to the three months ended March 31, 2022 and represented 1.4% and 1.2% of revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
Other Income (Expense). Other expense, net for the three months ended March 31, 2023 was $2.7 million as compared to other expense, net, of $1.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, representing an increase of $1.2 million. The increase was primarily due to a gain in the prior year of $0.9 million recognized upon the settlement of certain debt obligations, a $0.2 million change in the fair value of derivative liabilities, and a $0.1 million increase in interest expense.
Income Tax (Expense) Benefit. Income tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2023 was $51 thousand, as compared to $86 thousand in income tax benefit for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The increase in tax expense year-over-year is largely due to foreign pretax book income for the three months ended March 31, 2023 as compared to foreign pretax loss for the three months ended March 31, 2022.
Net Loss. Net loss was $2.9 million and $4.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 respectively and was a result of the changes noted above.
Use of Non-GAAP financial measures
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
28
statements which are prepared in accordance with GAAP with EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, both non-GAAP financial measures of earnings.
EBITDA represents net 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. Management uses EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as financial measures to evaluate the profitability and efficiency of the Company’s 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 the Company’s non-GAAP financial measures in addition to, and not as a substitute for, financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.
The following table contains reconciliations of net income and losses to EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA for the periods presented:

Discussion of Effect of Seasonality on Financial Condition
Certain accounts in 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. As a result, 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, at which point we record the highest level of sales.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of March 31, 2023, we had cash and cash equivalents of $11.3 million, a working capital balance of $61.6 million, and a current ratio of 2.75. On March 31, 2022 we had $11.3 million of cash and cash equivalents, a working capital balance of $49.6 million, and a current ratio of 2.02.
For the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, we had net cash used in operating activities of $1.9 million and $5.4 million, respectively. Cash used in operating activities decreased year over year as a result of higher margins on our products leading to increased operating income. We had net cash used in investing activities of $81 thousand and $526 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Cash used in investing activities is related to purchases of property and equipment. In addition, for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, we had net cash used in financing activities of $987 thousand and $912 thousand,
29
respectively. Cash used in financing activities is primarily related to principal payments on our credit facility and payments of fixed dividends to our Series B preferred shareholders.
Our liquidity needs are funded by operating cash flow and available cash. 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 the majority of our inventory purchases, which further constrains our cash liquidity. In addition, our industry is seasonal with many sales to educational customers occurring during the second and third quarters when schools make budget appropriations and classes are not in session limiting disruptions related to product installation. This seasonality makes our needs for cash vary significantly from quarter to quarter.
In addition to the cash flows generated by our ongoing operating activities we financed our operations during 2023 and 2022 with our Credit Facility with Whitehawk. Prior to April 24, 2023 we maintained a delayed draw term loan of which we had $7.5 million available as of March 31, 2023. On April 24, 2023, we drew $3.0 million on our delayed draw term loan that will be used for working capital purposes. The completion of the additional draw eliminates further delayed draws under the term loan agreement. The $3.0 million is required to be repaid prior to September 29, 2023.
To the extent not previously converted into the Company’s Class A common stock, the outstanding shares of our Series B preferred stock are 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. We may be required to seek alternative financing arrangements or restructure the terms of the agreement with the Series B preferred shareholders on terms that are not favorable to us if cash and cash equivalents are not sufficient to fully redeem the Series B preferred shares.
Given uncertainty surrounding global supply chains, global markets, and general global uncertainty as a result of the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine and the continuing COVID-19 pandemic, the availability of debt and equity capital has been reduced and the cost of capital has increased. Furthermore, recent adverse developments affecting the financial services industry including events involving limited liquidity, defaults, non-performance or other adverse developments that affect financial institutions may lead to market-wide liquidity problems. This in turn, could result our access to funding sources and credit arrangements in amounts adequate to finance our current and future business operations. Increasing our capital through equity issuance at this time could cause significant dilution to our existing stockholders. However, while there can be no guarantee we will be able to access capital when needed, 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 our customers and vendors.
Cash and cash equivalents, along with anticipated cash flows from operations, are expected to provide sufficient liquidity for working capital needs and debt service requirements.
Financing
See Footnote 8 – Debt for a discussion of our existing debt financing arrangements.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
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 condensed consolidated 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 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 condensed consolidated 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
30
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 condensed consolidated financial statements and in Note 1 in the Company’s 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K, which was filed with the SEC on March 17, 2023. 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. | Goodwill and Intangible assets |
3. | Stock-based Compensation Expense |
4. | Derivative Warrant Liabilities |
5. | Income Taxes |
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
For information on accounting pronouncements that have impacted or are expected to materially impact our consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows, see Note 1 to our condensed consolidated financial statements.
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 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K, as filed with the SEC on March 17, 2023.
Notwithstanding the existence of these material weaknesses, we believe that the condensed consolidated 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.
There were no changes made in the internal controls over financial reporting for the quarter ended March 31, 2023, that have materially affected our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
While we are not currently involved in any material legal proceedings, from time-to-time we are, and we anticipate that we will be, involved in legal proceedings, claims, and litigation arising in the ordinary course of our business and otherwise. The ultimate costs to resolve any such matters could have a material adverse effect on our financial statements. The Company’s management believes, based on current information, matters currently pending or threatened are not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
For information regarding risk factors pertinent to the Company’s business please refer to Part I Item 1A of the Company’s 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K, which was filed with the SEC on March 17, 2023 and is incorporated by reference herein. There have been no material changes from the risk factors described in our Form 10-K other than the following:
Unstable market and economic conditions and potential disruptions in the credit markets may adversely affect our business, including the availability and cost of short-term funds for liquidity requirements and our ability to meet long-term commitments, which could adversely affect our results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.
If internally generated funds are not available from operations, we may be required to rely on the banking and credit markets to meet our financial commitments and short-term liquidity needs. Our access to funds under our revolving credit facility or pursuant to arrangements with other financial institutions is dependent on the financial institution’s ability to meet funding commitments. Financial institutions may not be able to meet their funding commitments if they experience shortages of capital and liquidity or if they experience high volumes of borrowing requests from other borrowers within a short period of time.
In addition, the global credit and financial markets have recently experienced extreme volatility and disruptions, including severely diminished liquidity and credit availability, declines in consumer confidence, declines in economic growth, inflationary pressure and interest rate changes and uncertainty about economic stability. More recently, the closures of Silicon Valley Bank, Signature Bank and First Republic Bank and their placement into receivership with the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) created bank-specific and broader financial institution liquidity risk and concerns. Although the Department of the Treasury, the Federal Reserve and the FDIC jointly released a statement that depositors at Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank would have access to their funds, even those in excess of the standard FDIC insurance limits, under a systemic risk exception, future adverse developments with respect to specific financial institutions or the broader financial services industry may lead to market-wide liquidity shortages, impair the ability of companies to access near-term working capital needs, and create additional market and economic uncertainty. There can be no assurance that future credit and financial market instability and a deterioration in confidence in economic conditions will not occur. Our general business strategy may be adversely affected by any such economic downturn, liquidity shortages, volatile business environment or continued unpredictable and unstable market conditions. If the equity and credit markets deteriorate, or if adverse developments are experienced by financial institutions, it may cause short-term liquidity risk and also make any necessary debt or equity financing more difficult, more costly and more dilutive. Failure to secure any necessary financing in a timely manner and on favorable terms could have a material adverse effect on our growth strategy, financial performance and stock price and could require us to delay or abandon clinical development plans. In addition, there is a risk that one or more of our current service providers, financial institutions, manufacturers and other partners may be adversely affected by the foregoing risks, which could directly affect our ability to attain our operating goals on schedule and on budget.
