Note 1: Description of Business

DecisionPoint Systems, Inc., which we sometimes refer to as the “Company”, “we” or “us”, is an enterprise mobility systems integrator that, through its subsidiaries, sells, installs, deploys and repairs mobile computing and wireless systems that are used both within a company’s facilities and in the field. These systems generally include mobile computers, mobile application software, and related data capture equipment including bar code scanners and radio frequency identification (“RFID”) readers. We also provide services, consulting, staging, kitting, deployment, maintenance, proprietary and third-party software and software customization as an integral part of our customized solutions for our customers. The suite of products utilizes the latest technologies with the intent to make complex mobile technologies easy to use, understand and keep running within all vertical markets such as merchandising, sales and delivery, field service, logistics and transportation and warehouse management.

In April 2023, we acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of Macro Integration Services, Inc. (“Macro”). Macro is a value-added reseller (“VAR”) that buys point of sale mobile computing, scanning, printing, and wireless products from various manufacturers and distributors. Macro also provides professional services for project management, implementation, deployment, installations, upgrades, training, and support.

Note 2: Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

We have prepared the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of DecisionPoint Systems, Inc. and its subsidiaries on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“U.S. GAAP”). The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of DecisionPoint Systems, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries, DecisionPoint Systems International (“DPSI”), DecisionPoint Systems Group, Inc. (“DPS Group”), RDS, ExtenData, AMG, and Macro. Macro was acquired on April 1, 2023, and as such, has been consolidated into our financial position and results of operations beginning April 1, 2023. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been omitted from these interim financial statements as permitted by SEC rules and regulations. Accordingly, these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the related notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all normal and recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full fiscal year.

Operating Segments

Under the Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification 280-10, two or more operating segments may be aggregated into a single operating segment for financial reporting purposes if aggregation is consistent with the objective and basic principles, if the segments have similar characteristics, and if the segments are similar in each of the following areas: (i) the nature of products and services, (ii) the nature of the production processes, (iii) the type or class of customer for their products and services, and (iv) the methods used to distribute their products or provide their services. We believe each of the Company’s segments meet these criteria as they provide similar products and services to similar customers using similar methods of production and distribution. Because we believe each of the criteria set forth above has been met and each of the Company’s segments has similar characteristics, we aggregate results of operations in one reportable operating segment.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Certain accounting policies involve judgments and uncertainties to such an extent that there is a reasonable likelihood that materially different amounts could have been reported under different conditions, or if different assumptions had been used. We evaluate our estimates and assumptions on a regular basis.

Inventory

Inventory consists solely of finished goods and is stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is determined under the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. We periodically review our inventory and make provisions as necessary for estimated obsolete and slow-moving goods. The creation of such provisions results in reduction of inventory to net realizable value and a charge to cost of sales. Inventories are reflected in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets net of a valuation allowance of $96,000 and $42,000 as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.

We recorded a fair value adjustment of approximately $359,000 to reflect the acquired cost of inventory related to the April 1, 2023 acquisition of Macro. Approximately $120,000 and $240,000 of this amount was amortized during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, and is included in total cost of sales in the condensed consolidated statements income and comprehensive income.

Income Taxes

Our quarterly provision for income taxes uses an annual effective tax rate based on the expected annual income and statutory tax rates. Our effective tax rate, including discrete items as more fully described below, was 25.3% for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 27.3% for the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

The change in the effective tax rate was primarily due to a combination of an increase in projected annual pre-tax income and a decrease to estimated annual non-deductible permanent items in 2023.

Operating Leases

For non-cancelable operating lease agreements, operating lease assets and operating lease liabilities are established for leases with an expected term greater than one year and we recognize lease expense on a straight-line basis.

We have an operating lease for the office and warehouse space in Laguna Hills, California. Pursuant to the lease agreement, the base rent of $39,778 per month began on June 1, 2022 and increases 3% annually. The lease expires on April 30, 2029. In February 2022, we established an operating lease liability of $3.1 million and operating lease assets of $3.0 million, net of the sublease. In connection with this lease agreement, we entered into a sublease agreement for a portion of the Laguna Hills office and warehouse location, in which we received $24,254 per month commencing in February 2022 through expiration on October 31, 2023. Commencing November 1, 2023, this sublease continues on a month-to-month basis.

We also have one operating lease for office and warehouse space in Greensboro, North Carolina with fixed minimum monthly payments of $34,413 per month which increases 3% annually. The lease expires on December 31, 2026.

Furthermore, we have operating leases for office space in Delray Beach, Florida, Southbury, Connecticut, and Doylestown, Pennsylvania with various fixed minimum monthly payments totaling $5,840. These leases have a combined operating lease liability of $22,000 and operating lease assets of $22,000.

At September 30, 2023, the total operating lease liability was $4.2 million and the total operating lease asset was $3.6 million.

Revenue Recognition

We recognize revenue when a customer obtains control of promised goods or services under the terms of a contract and is measured as the amount of consideration we expect to receive in exchange for transferring goods or providing services. We do not have any material extended payment terms, as payment is due at or shortly after the time of the sale. Sales and other taxes collected concurrently with revenue producing activities are excluded from revenue.

We recognize contract assets or unbilled receivables related to revenue recognized for services completed but not yet invoiced to our clients. Unbilled receivables are recorded when we have an unconditional right to contract consideration. A contract liability is recognized as deferred revenue when we invoice clients, or receive customer cash payments, in advance of performing the related services under the terms of a contract. Remaining performance obligations represent the transaction price allocated to the performance obligations that are unsatisfied as of the end of each reporting period. Deferred revenue is recognized as revenue when we have satisfied the related performance obligation.

As of September 30, 2023, the total aggregate transaction price allocated to the unsatisfied performance obligations was approximately $11.7 million, of which approximately $6.9 million is expected to be recognized over the next 12 months.

As of December 31, 2022, the total aggregate transaction price allocated to the unsatisfied performance obligations was approximately $10.4 million.

The following tables summarizes the deferred revenue activity for the nine months ending September 30, 2023 (in thousands):

Beginning Balance at December 31, 2022	$	10,352
Additions		22,076
Revenue recognized from beginning of period		(6,936	)
Revenue recognized from additions		(13,761	)
Ending balance at September 30, 2023	$	11,731

We defer costs to acquire contracts, including commissions, incentives and payroll taxes if they are incremental and recoverable costs of obtaining a customer contract with a term exceeding one year. Deferred contract costs are amortized to sales and marketing expense over the contract term, generally over one to three years. We have elected to recognize the incremental costs of obtaining a contract with a term of less than one year as a selling expense when incurred. We include deferred contract acquisition costs in “Prepaid expenses and other current assets” in the consolidated balance sheets. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we deferred $0.2 million and $0.2 million, respectively, of related contract acquisition costs.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

In September 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. This ASU requires the measurement of all expected credit losses for financial assets, including trade receivables, held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts. In November 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-10, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326), Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815), and Leases (Topic 842): Effective Dates, which, among other things, deferred the effective date of ASU 2016-13 for public filers that are considered smaller reporting companies, as defined by the SEC, to fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those years. The Company adopted this accounting update in the first quarter of 2023 on a prospective basis. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

Note 3: Acquisitions

Macro Integration Services, Inc.

On March 31, 2023, we entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with the Durwood Wayne Williams Revocable Trust and the Collins Family Living Trust, as sellers (collectively, the “Sellers”) and with Durwood W. Williams and Bartley E. Collins (the respective trustees of the Sellers), individually, pursuant to which the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding equity of Macro from the Sellers (the “Acquisition”), effective April 1, 2023 (the “Effective Date”). Upon consummation of the Acquisition, Macro, a project management and professional services and integrated solutions company, became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.

Total consideration for the acquisition has been recorded as $26.4 million ($26.3 million was recorded at closing and additional $0.1 million was paid during the third quarter of 2023 due to a net working capital adjustment) and is comprised of the following (in thousands):

Purchase price	$	10,623
Working capital excess		5,899
Subtotal		16,522
Earnout		9,836
Other		30
	$	26,388

Earnout payments are subject to the financial performance of Macro in each of the two years following closing and are presented at net present values. We may pay the Sellers a total of up to an additional $9.8 million in earnout payments. The earnout is based on achieving EBITDA targets in years one and two following the Effective Date of $3.3 million and $3.8 million, respectively.

The cash due at closing was $13.7 million which reflects the following (in thousands):

Purchase price	$	10,500
Working capital excess		5,899
Less: bank indebtedness		(1,837	)
Seller party expenses		(845	)
	$	13,717

Actual consideration paid on the Effective Date was $11.0 million which reflects cash due at close less holdbacks for cash, accounts receivable, and inventory. An additional $0.1 million in consideration was paid during the third quarter of 2023 due to a net working capital adjustment.

Amortization expense is primarily calculated on a straight-line basis.

Note 5: Net Income Per Share

Basic net income per common share is computed by dividing the net income available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted net income per share is calculated similarly to basic per share amounts, except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive. For periods in which there is a net loss, potentially dilutive securities are excluded from the computation of fully diluted net loss per share as their effect is anti-dilutive.

Below is a reconciliation of the fully dilutive securities effect for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 (in thousands, except per share data):

	Three Months Ended				Nine Months Ended

Note 6: Line of Credit

(“Amendment”) with the Bank that served to amend certain terms of the Loan Agreement and increased the revolving line of credit available to us from $9.0 million to $10.0 million. The Amendment also served to modify certain covenants in the original agreement. On March 31, 2023, we drew down $7.0 million of this facility and amounts borrowed under this credit facility are evidenced, and governed, by the terms of a commercial promissory note in favor of the Bank. During the second and third quarters of 2023 we paid down $4.0 million and $1.2 million, respectively, on the line of credit and as of September 30, 2023, there is $1.8 million outstanding on the line of credit.

Interest and Fees

Loans under the Loan Agreement with an outstanding balance of at least $150,000 bear interest, at our option, at a base interest rate equal to the Term secured overnight financing rate as administered by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (“SOFR”) plus 2.50% or a base rate equal to an index offered by the Bank for the interest period selected and is payable at the on the last day of each month, commencing April 30, 2023. The interest rate on the loans adjusts at the end of each SOFR rate period (1, 3, or 6 month term) selected by us. All other loan amounts bear interest at a rate equal to an index rate determined by the Bank, which shall vary when the index rate changes. As of September 30, 2023, the effective interest rate was 7.7%. We have the right to prepay variable interest rate loans, in whole or in part at any time, without penalty or premium. Amounts outstanding with a base interest rate may be prepaid in whole or in part provided we have given the Bank written notice of at least five days prior to prepayment and pay a prepayment fee. At any time prior to the maturity date, we may borrow, repay and reborrow amounts under the Loan Agreement, subject to the prepayment terms, and, as long as the total outstanding does not exceed $10.0 million.

Covenants

Under the Loan Agreement , as amended by the Amendment, we are subject to a variety of customary affirmative and negative covenants, including that we (i) maintain a ratio of total debt to EBITDA of not greater than 3.0:1.0 measured at the end of each quarter, (ii) maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio of not less than 1.35:1.00 to be measured as of the end of each fiscal quarter, and (iii) submit a pro-forma statement in advance showing compliance and overall satisfactory metrics post acquisition should the Company use any loan under the Loan Agreement for any acquisition with a purchase price in excess of $1,500,000. The Loan Agreement also prohibits us from, or otherwise imposes restrictions on us with respect to, among other things, liquidating, dissolving, entering into any consolidation, merger, division, partnership, or other combination, selling or leasing a majority of our assets or business or purchase or lease all or the greater part of the assets or business of another entity or person.

As of September 30, 2023 we were in compliance with all of our covenants, were eligible to borrow up to $8.2 million, and had $1.8 million in outstanding borrowings under the Loan Agreement.

Note 7: Term Debt

MUFG Promissory Note

We entered into a $5.0 million unsecured promissory note agreement, effective March 27, 2023, with the Bank. Principal and interest payments on this note are due in quarterly installments of $250,000 on the last day of each quarter commencing June 30, 2023, with an interest rate based on Term SOFR plus 2.5% (secured overnight financing rate) as administered by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, which was 7.9% at September 30, 2023.This note matures March 31, 2028.

EIDL Promissory Note

On August 27, 2020, we received $0.2 million in connection with a promissory note from the SBA under the Economic Injury Disaster Loan (“EIDL”) program pursuant to the CARES Act. Under the terms of the EIDL promissory note, interest accrues on the outstanding principal at an interest rate of 3.75% per annum and with a term of 30 years with equal monthly payments of principal and interest of $731 beginning on August 27, 2021. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, outstanding debt under the promissory note was $0.1 million.

At September 30, 2023, our total debt consisted of the following:

Note 8: Stockholders’ Equity

We are authorized to issue two classes of stock designated as common stock and preferred stock. As of September 30, 2023, we are authorized to issue 60,000,000 total shares of stock. Of this amount, 50,000,000 shares are designated as common stock, having a par value of $0.001 and 10,000,000 shares are designated as preferred stock, having a par value of $0.001.

Note 9: Share-Based Compensation

Under our amended 2014 Plan, 1,600,000 shares of our common stock are reserved for issuance, of which 587,709 shares of common stock remain available for issuance.

Under the 2014 Plan, common stock incentives may be granted to our officers, employees, directors, consultants, and advisors (and prospective directors, officers, managers, employees, consultants and advisors) and our affiliates can acquire and maintain an equity interest in us, or be paid incentive compensation, which may (but need not) be measured by reference to the value of our common stock.

The 2014 Plan permits us to provide equity-based compensation in the form of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, unrestricted stock and other stock bonus awards and performance compensation awards.

The 2014 Plan is administered by the Board of Directors, or a committee appointed by the Board of Directors, which determines recipients and the number of shares subject to the awards, the exercise price and the vesting schedule. The term of stock options granted under the 2014 Plan cannot exceed ten years. Options cannot have an exercise price less than 100% of the fair market value of our common stock on the grant date, and generally vest over a period of three years. If the individual possesses more than 10% of the combined voting power of all classes of our stock, the exercise price shall not be less than 110% of the fair market of a share of common stock on the date of grant.

The following table summarizes stock option activity under the 2014 Plan for the nine months ended September 30, 2023:

				Grant Date		Weighted
				Weighted		Average
				Average		Remaining		Aggregate
	Stock			Exercise		Contractual		Intrinsic
	Options			Price		Life		Value
						(in years)		($ in thousands)
Outstanding at December 31, 2022		458,957		$	4.08
Granted		60,521			7.26
Forfeited or expired		-			0
Exercised		(64,165	)		2.44
Outstanding at September 30, 2023		455,313		$	4.73		2.4	$	1,276
Exercisable at September 30, 2023		365,598		$	4.91		2.4	$	1,276

Share-based compensation cost for the nine months ending September 30, 2023 was measured using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions:

Weighted average grant-date fair value per option granted	$	6.52 to 7.76
Expected option term in years		2.5
Expected volatility factor		74.0	%
Risk-free interest rate		3.82 to 4.18	%
Expected annual dividend yield		0.0	%

We estimate expected volatility using historical volatility of common stock of our peer group over a period equal to the expected life of the options. The expected term of the awards represents the period of time that the awards are expected to be outstanding. We considered expectations for the future to estimate employee exercise and post-vest termination behavior. We do not intend to pay common stock dividends in the foreseeable future, and therefore have assumed a dividend yield of zero. The risk-free interest rate is the yield on zero-coupon U.S. Treasury securities for a period that is commensurate with the expected term of the awards.

As of September 30, 2023, there was $0.2 million of total unrecognized share-based compensation related to unvested stock options. These costs have a weighted average remaining recognition period of 1.2 years.

Note 10: Contingencies

Litigation

From time to time, we are subject to litigation incidental to the conduct of our business. When applicable, we record accruals for contingencies when it is probable that a liability will be incurred, and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. While the outcome of lawsuits and other proceedings against us cannot be predicted with certainty, in our opinion, individually or in the aggregate, no such lawsuits are expected to have a material effect on our condensed consolidated financial position or results of operations.

Concentrations

No customer accounted for 10% or more of consolidated revenue during the three months ended September 30, 2023. One customer accounted for 18% of consolidated revenue during the nine months ended September 30, 2023. One customer accounted for 30% of consolidated revenue during the three months ended September 30, 2022, and 18% of consolidated revenue during the nine months ended September 30, 2022. Trade accounts receivable from two customers represented 11% and 12% of net consolidated receivables at September 30, 2023 and trade accounts receivable from two customers represented approximately 14% and 13% of net consolidated receivables at September 30, 2022.

Two vendors accounted for 29% and 19% of all consolidated purchases during the three months ended September 30, 2023. Three vendors accounted for 21%, 20%, and 14% of all consolidated purchases during the nine months ended September 30, 2023. For the prior year period, two vendors accounted for 12% and 11% of all consolidated purchases for the three months ended September 30, 2022, and three vendors accounted for 37%, 22% and 17% of all consolidated purchases during the nine months ended September 30, 2022. No other vendor accounted for more than 10% of purchases during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022.

As of September 30, 2023, two vendors accounted for 31% and 25% of total accounts payable. As of September 30, 2022, three vendors accounted for 31%, 27% and 22% of the total accounts payable. No other vendor accounted for more than 10% of accounts payable as of September 30, 2023 and 2022.

A significant decrease or interruption in business from our significant customers or vendors could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Financial instruments that potentially expose us to a concentration of credit risk principally consist of accounts receivable. We sell product to a large number of customers in many different geographic regions. To minimize credit risk, we perform ongoing credit evaluations of our customers’ financial condition.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains statements that discuss future events or expectations, projections of results of operations or financial condition, trends in our business, business prospects and strategies and other “forward-looking” information. In some cases, you can identify “forward-looking statements” by words like “may,” “will,” “should,” “expects,” These statements may relate to, among other things, our expectations regarding for our financial results, revenue, operating expenses and other financial measures in future periods, and the adequacy of our sources of liquidity to satisfy our working capital needs, capital expenditures, and other liquidity requirements. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements. Among the factors that could cause actual results to differ materially are the factors discussed under “Risk Factors” in documents and reports we have filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Some additional factors that could cause actual results to differ include:

	●	our estimates regarding expenses, future revenue, capital requirements and liquidity;

	●	our plans to obtain any requisite outside funding for our current and proposed operations and potential acquisition and expansion efforts;

	●	the success of the Company’s plan for growth, both internally and through pursuit of suitable acquisition candidates;

	●	the concentration of our customers and vendors and the potential effect of the loss of a significant customer or vendor;

	●	debt obligations of the Company arising from our line of credit and term loan from time to time or otherwise;

	●	our ability to integrate the business operations of businesses that we acquire from time to time;

	●	the possibility that we may be adversely affected by other economic, business or competitive factors including market volatility, inflation, increases in interest rates, supply chain interruptions, and may not be able to manage other risks and uncertainties;

	●	our ability to compete with companies producing similar products and services;

	●	the scope of protection we are able to establish and maintain for intellectual property rights covering our products and technology;

	●	the accuracy of our estimates regarding expenses, future revenue, capital requirements and needs for additional financing;

	●	our ability to develop and maintain our corporate infrastructure, including our internal controls;

	●	general economic conditions, including effects of inflation, market volatility, interest rate increases, general recession concerns in the U.S. and abroad, and effects of geopolitical events domestically and abroad;

	●	our ability to develop innovative new products and services; and

	●	our financial performance.

Our financial statements are stated in United States Dollars (“$”) and are prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. In this Quarterly Report, unless otherwise specified, all dollar amounts are expressed in United States dollars and all references to “common shares” refer to the common shares in our capital stock.

Overview

We are a provider and integrator of mobility and wireless systems for business organizations. We design, deploy and support mobile computing systems that enable customers to access employers’ data networks at various locations (i.e., the retail selling floor, nurse workstations, warehouse and distribution centers or on the road deliveries via enterprise-grade handheld computers, printers, tablets, and smart phones). We also integrate data capture equipment including bar code scanners and radio frequency identification (RFID) readers.

We may from time to time make strategic acquisitions. For example, in April 2023, we completed the acquisition of Macro Integration Services, Inc. (“Macro”), a privately held company headquartered in Greensboro, North Carolina. We acquired Macro to increase profits margins through adding more services, expanding our regional presence, and adding new capabilities and deepening existing ones. This acquisition also strengthens our position in the traditional retail market while adding to adjacent retail verticals in foods service and grocery.

General economic uncertainty and volatility arising from geopolitical events and concerns, inflation, rises in energy prices, increased interest rates, recession concerns, and general declines in capital spending in the information technology sector (and the economy in general) make it difficult to predict changes in the purchasing requirements of our customers and the markets we serve and whether our results of operations will be materially impacted.

Components of Results of Operations

Net Sales

Net sales reflect revenue from the sale of hardware, software, consumables and professional services (including hardware and software maintenance) to our clients, net of sales taxes.

Revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of promised goods or services under the terms of a contract and is measured as the amount of consideration we expect to receive in exchange for transferring goods or providing services. We do not have any material extended payment terms, as payment is due at or shortly after the time of the sale. Sales, value-added and other taxes collected concurrently with revenue producing activities are excluded from revenue.

Cost of Sales, Sales and Marketing Expenses, and General and Administrative Expenses

The following illustrates the primary costs classified in each major expense category:

Cost of sales, include:

	●	Cost of goods sold for hardware, software and consumables;

	●	Cost of professional services, including maintenance;

	●	Markdowns of inventory; and

	●	Freight expenses.

Sales and marketing expenses, include:

	●	Sales salaries, benefits and commissions;

	●	Consulting;

	●	Marketing tools;

	●	Travel; and

	●	Marketing promotions and trade shows.

General and administrative expenses, include:

	●	Corporate payroll and benefits;

	●	Depreciation and amortization;

	●	Rent;

	●	Utilities; and

	●	Other administrative costs such as maintenance of corporate offices, supplies, legal, consulting, audit and tax preparation and other professional fees.

Net sales increased by 5.5%, or $1.4 million, during the three months ended September 30, 2023 as compared to the same period of the prior year. Hardware and software net sales decreased $5.2 million during the three months ended September 30, 2023, primarily due a $6.6 million decrease in hardware sales to one of our largest customers, offset by a $1.7 million increase in hardware sales by Macro. Macro was acquired on April 1, 2023 (and, thus, there were no corresponding sales by Macro included in our results of operations for the comparable period in 2022). Consumables decreased $0.3 million during the three months ended September 30, 2023 primarily due to decreased third quarter sales to one of our existing customers. Included in the prior year consumables sales was a one-time transaction of $0.3 million that was not repeated during the current quarter ending September 30, 2023. Services increased $7.0 million during the three months ended September 30, 2023 primarily due to the acquisition of Macro on April 1, 2023 (and, thus, there were no corresponding sales by Macro included in our results of operations for the comparable period in 2022), which added $6.0 million in services revenue. Quarterly services revenues were also positively impacted by a $0.3 million increase from our largest customer.

Cost of sales decreased by 1.5%, or $0.3 million during the three months ended September 30, 2023 as compared to the same prior year period primarily due to decreases in the cost of sales of both hardware and software and consumables which were consistent with the corresponding decreases in sales of these product lines. These decreases were offset by increased cost of sales of services which increased due to the acquisition of Macro on April 1, 2023, which added $3.6 million in costs (and, thus, there were no corresponding sales by Macro included in our results of operations for the comparable period in 2022).

Total gross profit percentage		27.6	%		22.4	%

Gross profit increased $1.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 as compared to the prior year period, primarily as a result of the increase in sales of services combined with increased costs and the other impacts noted above. Overall gross profit margin increased 5.2% due to a shift in mix to services with higher profit margins.

Sales and marketing expenses decreased $0.2 million, or 7.1%, for the three months ended September 30, 2023 as compared to the prior year period primarily due to a $150,000 decrease in commission expense for the third quarter of 2023 due to a corresponding decrease in hardware sales. As a percentage of sales, sales and marketing expenses decreased 110 basis points primarily due to higher sales volume for the three months ended September 30, 2023.

General and administrative expenses

As a percentage of sales		14.1	%		7.5	%				6.6	%

General and administrative expenses increased $1.9 million, or 98.2%, for the three months ended September 30, 2023 as compared to the same period of the prior year. The increase in these expenses was primarily due to the $1.8 million increase due to the acquisition of Macro on April 1, 2023 (and thus, there were no corresponding expenses by Macro for the comparable period in 2022). As a percentage of sales, general and administrative costs increased 660 basis points. This increase is attributable to the fact that Macro’s general and administrative expenses trend higher as a percentage of their sales. The Company will continue to monitor these expenses as it looks for efficiencies in operations.

Interest expense. The increase in interest expense to $162,000 for the third quarter of 2023 from $7,000 from the same period last year was due to the increased debt levels incurred for the Macro acquisition, as compared to the same period last year.

Income tax expense. Income tax expense was approximately $0.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to $0.4 million income tax expense for the three months ended September 30, 2022. The decrease is primarily due to the decrease in income before income taxes, period over period.

Net income. Net income of $1.1 million remained flat in comparison to the same period last year.

Results of Operations for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2023 Compared to the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2022 (Unaudited)

	$	85,091	$	72,940	$	12,151			16.7	%

Net sales increased by 16.7%, or $12.2 million, during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 as compared to the same period of the prior year. The increase in net sales was primarily driven by the $14.1 million increase in services which was primarily due to the $12.3 million increase in services associated with sales by Macro which we acquired on April 1, 2023 (and, thus, there were no corresponding sales by Macro included in our results of operations for the comparable period in 2022). Hardware sales decreased $1.3 million primarily due a $4.4 million decrease in hardware sales to one of our largest customers offset by a $3.3 million increase in hardware sales associated by Macro. Consumables decreased $0.6 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 primarily due to decreased sales to one of our existing customers. Included in the prior year consumables sales was a one-time transaction of $0.6 million that was not repeated during the nine months ending September 30, 2023.

Cost of sales increased by 13.6%, or $7.6 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 as compared to the same prior year period primarily due to higher services sales volume and a $3.8 million increase in overall cost of sales associated with cost of sales of Macro that we acquired on April 1, 2023 (and, thus, there were no corresponding costs of sales of Macro included in our results of operations for the comparable period in 2022).

Overall gross profit margin increased 200 basis points due to a shift in mix to services with higher profit margins. The shift in the mix was caused by the acquisition of Macro which is primarily a services based company.

Sales and marketing expenses	$	6,988		$	6,850		$	138		2.0	%

Sales and marketing expenses increased $0.1 million, or 2.0%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 as compared to the prior year period primarily due to increased expenses of $139,000 for Macro operations that was acquired on April 1, 2023 (and, thus, there were no corresponding sales and marketing expenses of Macro included in our results of operations for the comparable period in 2022). As a percentage of sales, sales and marketing expenses decreased 150 basis points primarily due to the higher sales volume for the nine months ended September 30, 2023.

General and administrative expenses increased $4.1 million, or 66.4%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 as compared to the same period of the prior year. The increase in these expenses was due to $0.2 million increased warehouse costs associated with increased headcount and rent increases, a $0.1 million increase in professional and legal fees, and a $3.3 million increase in expenses associated with the acquisition of Macro on April 1, 2023 (and, thus, there were no corresponding general and administrative expenses by Macro included in our results of operations for the comparable period in 2022). As a percentage of sales, general and administrative costs increased 360 basis points. This increase is attributable to the fact that Macro’s general and administrative expenses trend higher as a percentage of their sales. The Company will continue to monitor these expenses as it looks for efficiencies in operations.

Interest expense. The increase in interest expense to $385,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 from $42,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was due to the new debt incurred in connection with the April 1, 2023 acquisition of Macro.

Income tax (expense) benefit. Income tax expense was approximately $0.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to $1.0 million in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2022. The higher income tax rate this period is associated with higher income before income taxes and in the prior year period.

Net income. Net income was $2.7 million in each of the nine-month periods ended September 20, 2023 and 2022.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of September 30, 2023, our principal sources of liquidity were cash totaling $3.6 million and $8.2 million of availability under our line of credit. In recent years, we have financed our operations primarily through cash generated from operating activities, borrowings from term loans and our line of credit. In certain prior years, we generated operating losses and negative cash flows from operating activities as reflected in our accumulated deficit. We have generated operating income for each of the years ended December 31, 2018 through December 31, 2022. Based on our recent trends and our current projections, we expect to generate cash from operations for the year ending December 31, 2023. Given our projections, combined with our existing cash and credit facilities, we believe the Company has sufficient liquidity for at least the next 12 months and beyond.

Our ability to continue to meet our cash requirements will depend on, among other things, global economic activity, continuing on-going disruptions in supply chains and labor shortages across industry sectors, the effects of inflation, the effects of interest rate increases, recession concerns, and our ability to achieve anticipated levels of revenues and cash flow from operations, our ability to manage costs and working capital successfully and the continued availability of financing, if needed. We cannot provide any assurance that our assumptions used to estimate our liquidity requirements will remain accurate due to, among other things, the macro-economic environment. Consequently, the volatile economic environment and our estimates on the severity of the impact on our future earnings and cash flows could change and have a material impact on our results of operations and financial condition. In the event of a sustained market deterioration, and declines in net sales, we may need additional liquidity, which would require us to evaluate available alternatives and take appropriate actions. We cannot provide any assurance that we will be able to obtain any additional sources of financing or liquidity on acceptable terms, or at all.

Working Capital (Deficit)

Current liabilities		32,953			31,665		1,288
Working capital (deficit)	$	(3,665	)	$	607	$	(4,272	)

The working capital deficit as of September 30, 2023 was primarily due to the $4.0 million decrease in cash which was due to the acquisition of Macro which closed on April 1, 2023.

Line of Credit

Our Loan and Security Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with MUFG Union Bank, National Association (the “Bank”), as amended, provides for a revolving line of credit of up to $10.0 million with our obligations being secured by a security interest in substantially all of our assets. Loans extended to us under the Loan Agreement are scheduled to mature on July 31, 2026. Effective March 27, 2023, we entered into an amendment letter (“Amendment”) with the Bank that served to amend certain terms of the Loan Agreement and increased the revolving line of credit available to us from $9.0 million to $10.0 million. The Amendment also served to modify certain covenants in the original Loan Agreement. On September 30, 2023, we had $8.2 million of this facility available.

MUFG Promissory Note

We entered into a $5.0 million promissory note agreement, effective March 27, 2023, with the Bank. Principal and interest payments on this note are due in quarterly installments of $250,000 on the last day of each quarter commencing June 30, 2023, with an interest rate based on Term SOFR (secured overnight financing rate) as administered by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. This note matures March 31, 2028.

Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities decreased to $2.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 from $13.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities was $13.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 which is comprised primarily of the $12.9 million purchase of Macro.

Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities was $6.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 due to the $1.8 million net draw on the revolving line of credit and the proceeds from the $5.0 million term loan which were used to fund the acquisition of Macro Integration on April 1, 2023. Net cash used in financing activity was $1.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 primarily due to the cash paid for taxes on the cashless exercise of stock options.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires the appropriate application of certain accounting policies, some of which require us to make estimates and assumptions about future events and their impact on amounts reported in our condensed consolidated financial statements. Since future events and their impact cannot be determined with absolute certainty, the actual results will inevitably differ from our estimates.

For a description of other critical accounting policies and estimates, refer to Part II, Item 7, Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. There have been no material changes to our critical accounting estimates since our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2023. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including its principal executive and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2023, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There were no material changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by Rule 13a-15(d) and 15d-15(d) of the Exchange Act that occurred during the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
