NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

 

Note 1 - Basis of Presentation

 

The consolidated interim financial statements of DGSE Companies, Inc., a Nevada corporation, and its subsidiaries (the “Company” or “DGSE”), included herein have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the Commission’s rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. The Company suggests that these financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017 (such fiscal year, “Fiscal 2017” and such Annual Report on Form 10-K, the “Fiscal 2017 10-K”). In the opinion of the management of the Company, the accompanying unaudited interim financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting only of those of a normal recurring nature, necessary to present fairly its results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The results of operations for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. Certain reclassifications were made to the prior year’s consolidated financial statements to conform to the current year presentation.

 

Note 2 - Principles of Consolidation and Nature of Operations

 

DGSE buys and sells jewelry and bullion products to both retail and wholesale customers throughout the United States through its facilities in South Carolina and Texas, and through its various internet sites.

 

The interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All material intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.

 

Note 3 - Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

Financial Instruments

 

The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheets for cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts receivable related party, accounts payable, accounts payable related party and accrued expenses approximate fair value because of the immediate or short-term maturity of these financial instruments. The carrying amount reported for the Company’s capital lease approximate fair value because the underlying instrument has an interest rate with current market rates. This instrument is not held for trading purposes.

 

Earnings Per Share

 

Basic earnings per common share is computed by dividing net earnings available to holders of the Company’s common stock by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the reporting period. Diluted earnings per share reflect the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock. For the calculation of diluted earnings per share, the basic weighted average number of shares is increased by the dilutive effect of stock options and warrants outstanding determined using the treasury stock method.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncement

 

In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASU 2014-09”), which supersedes nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance under U.S. GAAP. The guidance requires entities to recognize revenue using the following five-step model: identify the contract with a customer, identify the performance obligations in the contract, determine the transaction price, allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, and recognize revenue as the entity satisfies each performance obligation. Adoption of this standard could result in retrospective application, either in the form of recasting all prior periods presented or a cumulative adjustment to equity in the period of adoption. The guidance was effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017.

On January 1, 2018 we adopted ASU 2014-09 using the full retrospective method. The Copmany completed its review of its material revenue streams and determined that there will be no impact to its consolidated financial statements, results of operations or liquidity. When comparing the Company’s current revenue recognition to the new applied revenue recognition under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606, there was no change to the amount or timing of revenue recognized. Therefore, no quantitative adjustment was required to be made to the prior periods presented on the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements after the adoption of ASC 606.

 

On February 25, 2016, the FASB issued its new lease accounting guidance in Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-02 (“ASU 2016-02”), Leases (Topic 842). Under the new guidance, lessor accounting is largely unchanged. Certain targeted improvements were made to align, where necessary, lessor accounting with the lessee accounting model and Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Under the new guidance, lessees will be required to recognize a lease liability, which is a lessee’s obligation to make lease payments arising from a lease, measured on a discounted basis and a right-of-use asset, which is an asset that represents the lessee’s right to use, or control the use of, a specified asset for the lease term for all leases (with the exception of short-term leases) at the commencement date. ASU 2016-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Lessees (for capital and operating leases) and lessors (for sales-type, direct financing, and operating leases) must apply a modified retrospective transition approach for leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements. The modified retrospective approach would not require any transition accounting for leases that expired before the earliest comparative period presented. Lessees and lessors may not apply a full retrospective transition approach. The Company is evaluating the financial statement implications of adopting ASU 2016-02.

A summary of inventories is as follows:

Note 5 - Basic and Diluted Average Shares

 

A reconciliation of basic and diluted weighted average common shares for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 is as follows:

 

   For the Three Months Ended   For the Six Months Ended 
   June 30,   June 30,

(1)On April 3, 2011, DGSE entered into a capital lease for $58,563 with Graybar Financial Services for phones at the new corporate headquarters. The non-cancelable lease agreement required an advanced payment of $2,304 and monthly payments of $1,077 for 60 months at an interest rate of 4.2% beginning in May 2011. At the end of the lease in May 2018, the equipment was purchased for $1.

 

Note 7 - Stock-Based Compensation

 

The Company accounts for share-based compensation by measuring the cost of the employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments, including grants of stock options, based on the fair value of the award at the date of grant. In addition, to the extent that the Company receives an excess tax benefit upon exercise of an award, such benefit is reflected as cash flow from financing activities in the consolidated statement of cash flows.

 

Stock-based compensation expense for the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 was $0 and $10,688 respectively, and stock based compensation expense for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 was $0 and $10,688, respectively, relating to employee and director RSUs, and included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

 

Note 8 - Related Party Transactions

 

DGSE has a corporate policy governing the identification, review, consideration and approval or ratification of transactions with related persons, as that term is defined in the Instructions to Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K, promulgated under the Securities Act (“Related Party”). Under this policy, all Related Party transactions are identified and approved prior to consummation of the transaction to ensure they are consistent with DGSE’s best interests and the best interests of its stockholders. Among other factors, DGSE’s Board considers the size and duration of the transaction, the nature and interest of the of the Related Party in the transaction, whether the transaction may involve a conflict of interest and if the transaction is on terms that are at least as favorable to DGSE as would be available in a comparable transaction with an unaffiliated third party. DGSE’s Board reviews all Related Party transactions at least annually to determine if it is in DGSE’s best interests and the best interests of DGSE’s stockholders to continue, modify, or terminate any of the Related Party transactions. DGSE’s Related Person Transaction Policy is available for review in its entirety under the “Investors” menu of the Company’s corporate relations website at www.DGSECompanies.com.

 

Through a series of transactions beginning in 2010, Elemetal, NTR and Truscott (“Related Entities”) became the largest shareholders of our common stock, par value $0.01 per share. A certain Related Entity has been DGSE’s primary refiner and bullion trading partner. For the six months ended June 30, 2018, 13% of sales and 3% of purchases were transactions with a certain Related Entity, and in the same period of 2017, these transactions represented 26% of DGSE’s sales and 22% of DGSE’s purchases. On December 9, 2016, DGSE and a certain Related Entity closed the transactions contemplated by the Debt Exchange Agreement whereby DGSE issued a certain Related Entity 8,536,585 shares of its common stock and a warrant to purchase an additional 1,000,000 shares to be exercised within two years after December 9, 2016, in exchange for the cancellation and forgiveness of $3,500,000 of trade payables owed to a certain Related Entity as a result of bullion-related transactions. As of June 30, 2018, the Company was obligated to pay $3,378,960 to the certain Related Entity as a trade payable, and had a $0 receivable from the certain Related Entity. As of December 31, 2017, the Company was obligated to pay $3,902,293 to the certain Related Entity as a trade payable, and had a $39,215 receivable from the certain Related Entity. For the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, the Company paid the Related Entities $92,530 and $99,205 respectively, in interest on the Company’s outstanding payable.

 

Note 9 – Sales and Use Tax

 

The Texas Comptroller conducted a sales and use tax audit of our Texas operations with respect to the period July 1, 2013 through December 31, 2016. The audit was finalized and a determination was made on April 2, 2018, that we owed a total of $17,294, which includes interest and penalties. An initial reserve of $70,000 was established at December 31, 2017 to cover any liability. That reserve was reduced to the amount owed of $17,294 for the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2018. The balance due of $17,294 was paid in full on April 4, 2018.

Many aspects of our business are impacted by changes in precious metals pricing which rise and fall based upon global supply and demand dynamics, with the greatest impact relating to gold. The price of gold rebounded during 2017 to end at $1,303 an ounce, at year end according to the London PM Fix. The increase produced a 14% net gain in gold prices from December 31, 2016 to December 31, 2017. The volatility was still prevalent during the year but the general overall trend was upward during Fiscal 2017. Gold prices stabilized during the first quarter of 2018 but has given up some of the gains made in 2017 closing at $1,250 an ounce, at quarter ending June 30, 2018, showing a 4% net loss for the first six months of the year.

 

The market for buying and selling pre-owned or “scrap” gold has been negative during the past several years. Scrap gold purchases have historically been a critical profit engine for all of our locations, and our marketing strategy is aiming at making this, once again, a significant impact on our revenue, profitability and long-term growth plans.

 

Following a leadership change in mid-December 2016, we eschewed the unsuccessful strategies of recent years and returned to our roots: buying and selling jewelry and timepieces at exceptional prices. Our strategy is to be an information resource for clients, bringing transparency to purchase and sale transactions, and offer value and liquidity to those seeking to buy, sell or trade jewelry, watches, diamonds or coins.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, cash flows used in operating activities totaled $226,785 and $846,120, respectively, a decrease of $619,335. Cash used in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2018, was driven largely by a reduction of accounts payable - trade, related party of $523,333, accounts payable and accrued expenses of $333,674, and the increase of inventory by $824,941, offset by the increase of customer deposits and other liabilities of $520,593, the decrease in trade receivables by $110,052, and the net income, without depreciation and amortization, of $797,870.

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, cash flows used in investing activities totaled $145,825 and $94,521, respectively, an increase of $51,304. The use of cash in investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2018 was the result of the continuing buildout expenses to the Midtown location at 13022 Preston Road, Dallas, Texas, continued payment on a new POS system and new signage.

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, cash flows used in financing activities totaled $2,352 and $4,357, respectively, a decrease of $2,005. The use of cash in financing activities for the six months ending June 30, 2018 is the result of the final payments on our capital lease obligation. The six months ending June 30, 2017, was the result of the pay down on the same capital lease obligation.

 

We expect our capital expenditures to total approximately $50,000 during the next twelve months. These expenditures will be largely driven by the purchase of a new equipment to replace older outdated equipment.

 

We have historically renewed, extended or replaced short term debt as it matures and management believes that we will be able to continue to do so in the near future.

 

From time to time, we have adjusted our inventory levels to meet seasonal demand or in order to meet working capital requirements. Management believes that if additional working capital is required, additional loans can be obtained from individuals or from commercial banks. If necessary, inventory levels may be adjusted in order to meet unforeseen working capital requirements.

 

The Texas Comptroller conducted a sales and use tax audit of our Texas operations with respect to the period July 1, 2013 through December 31, 2016. The audit was finalized and a determination was made on April 2, 2018, that we owed a total of $17,294, which includes interest and penalties. An initial reserve of $70,000 was established at December 31, 2017 to cover any liability. That reserve was reduced to the amount owed of $17,294 for the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2018. The balance due of $17,294 was paid in full on April 4, 2018.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to stockholders.
