PART I – FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The accompanying notes are an integral part of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. 

The accompanying notes are an integral part of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. 

The accompanying notes are an integral part of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

Concierge Technologies, Inc., (the “Company” or “Concierge”), a Nevada corporation, operates through its wholly owned subsidiaries who are engaged in varied business activities. The operations of the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries are more particularly described herein but are summarized as follows:

See “Note 13. Business Combinations” for a description of the terms of our acquisition of our operating businesses. On October 18, 2017, the Company, through Kahnalytics, entered into an agreement to acquire the assets of The Original Sprout, LLC, a California limited liability company (“Original Sprout”), which engages in the manufacture and sale of organic, non-toxic, all natural hair care, bath, skin, and styling products. See “Note 18. Subsequent Events” for more information.

Concierge manages its operating businesses on a decentralized basis. There are no centralized or integrated operational functions such as marketing, sales, legal or other professional services and there is little involvement by Concierge’s management in the day-to-day business affairs of its operating subsidiary businesses. Concierge’s corporate management is responsible for capital allocation decisions, investment activities and selection and retention of the Chief Executive to head each of the operating subsidiaries. Concierge's corporate management is also responsible for corporate governance practices, monitoring regulatory affairs, including those of its operating businesses and involvement in governance-related issues of its subsidiaries as needed.

Basis of Presentation and Accounting Principles

The Company has prepared the accompanying financial statements on a consolidated basis. In the opinion of management, the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and related statements of income and comprehensive income, and cash flows include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring items, necessary for their fair presentation, prepared on an accrual basis, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The information included in this Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with information included in the Company’s 2017 Form 10-K filed on October 13, 2017 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements, which are referred herein as the “Financial Statements” include the accounts of Concierge and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Wainwright, Gourmet Foods, Brigadier and Kahnalytics.

Wainwright was acquired during the prior fiscal year. Due to the commonality of ownership and control between the two companies, the transaction has been accounted for as a transaction between entities under common control (Refer to Note 13 of the Financial Statements).

The accompanying Financial Statements as of September 30, 2017 and June 30, 2017 include the assets, liabilities and the results of operations of Wainwright at carrying amounts as though the transaction and exchange of equity interests has occurred at the beginning of the comparative period, or July 1, 2016.

All significant inter-company transactions and accounts have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the Financial Statements are in conformity with U.S. GAAP which requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the Financial Statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

For purposes of the consolidated statement of cash flows, cash equivalents include all highly liquid debt instruments with original maturities of three months or less which are not securing any corporate obligations.

Concierge’s corporate office maintains cash balances at a financial institution headquartered in San Diego, California. Accounts are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) up to $250,000 per depositor. The corporation’s uninsured cash balance in the United States was $2.4 million at September 30, 2017. The Company’s subsidiary, Wainwright, also maintains cash balances at various high credit quality institutions and from time to time those deposits exceed the FDIC coverage amount of $250,000. As of September 30, 2017 the uninsured amount for Wainwright subsidiaries totaled approximately $3.2 million, though no losses have been realized and none are expected. Cash balances in Canada are maintained at a financial institution in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan by the Company’s subsidiary, Brigadier. Each account is insured up to CD$100,000 by Canada Deposit Insurance Corporation (CDIC). The Company’s subsidiary, Brigadier, had an uninsured cash balance in Canada of approximately CD$0.7 million (approximately US$0.6 million) at September 30, 2017. Balances at financial institutions within New Zealand, where the Company’s subsidiary, Gourmet Foods, maintains cash balances, are not covered by insurance. As of September 30, 2017, the Company’s subsidiary, Gourmet Foods, had uninsured deposits related to cash deposits in uninsured accounts maintained within foreign entities of approximately NZ$0.6 million (approximately US$0.5 million). The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts.

Accounts Receivable, Related Parties and Accounts Receivable, net

Accounts receivable, related parties, consist of fund asset management fees receivable from the Wainwright business. Management fees receivable generally consist of one month of management fees which are collected in the month after they are earned. As of September 30, 2017 and June 30, 2017, there is no allowance for doubtful accounts as all amounts are deemed collectible.

Accounts receivable, net, consist of receivables from the Bridagier, Gourmet Foods and Kahnalytics businesses. The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses inherent in its accounts receivable portfolio. In establishing the required allowance, management regularly reviews the composition of accounts receivable and analyzes customer credit worthiness, customer concentrations, current economic trends and changes in customer payment patterns. Reserves are recorded primarily on a specific identification basis. Account balances are charged off against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote. As of September 30, 2017 and 2016, the Company had an insignificant amount recorded in doubtful accounts.

Major Customers & Suppliers – Concentration of Credit Risk

Concierge, through Brigadier, is dependent upon its contractual relationship with the alarm monitoring company who purchases the monitoring contracts and provides monitoring services to Brigadier’s customers. The information included in this Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with information included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on October 13, 2017 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Sales to the largest customer, which include contracts and recurring monthly residuals from the monitoring company, totaled 49% of the Brigadier revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2017, and accounted for approximately 32% of accounts receivable for the three months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to 48% of the Brigadier revenues and approximately 28% of accounts receivables for the three months ended September 30, 2016.

Concierge, through Gourmet Foods, has three major customer groups comprising the gross revenues to Gourmet Foods; 1) grocery, 2) gasoline convenience stores, and 3) independent retailers. The grocery and food industry is dominated by several large chain operations, which are customers of Gourmet Foods, and there are no long term guarantees that these major customers will continue to purchase products from Gourmet Foods, however the relationships have been in place for sufficient time to give management reasonable confidence in their continuing business For the three months ended September 30, 2017, the largest customer in the grocery industry, who operates through a number of independently branded stores, accounted for approximately 22% of Gourmet Foods' gross sales revenues and 25% of Gourmet Foods' accounts receivable as compared to 20% and 27% respectively for the three months ended September 30, 2016. The second largest in the grocery industry accounted for approximately 12% and 11% of Gourment Foods' gross revenues and 14% and 9% of Gourmet Foods' accounts receivable for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 respectively. In the gasoline convenience store market Gourmet Foods supplies two major channels. The largest is a marketing consortium of gasoline dealers who for the three months ended September 30, 2017 accounted for approximately 41% of Gourmet Foods' gross sales revenues as compared to 41% for the three months ended September 30, 2016. No single member of the consortium is responsible for a significant portion of Gourmet Foods' accounts receivable. The second largest are independent operators accounting for less than 10% of Gourmet Foods' gross sales, however no single independent operator is responsible for a significant portion of Gourmet Foods' accounts receivable. The third category of independent retailers and cafes accounted for the balance of Gourmet Foods' gross sales revenue, however the group is fragmented and no one customer accounts for a significant portion of Gourmet Foods' revenues or accounts receivable. Gourmet Foods is not dependent upon any one major supplier as many alternative sources are available in the local market place should the need arise.

For our subsidiary, Wainwright, the concentration of risk and the relative reliance on major customers are found within the various funds it manages and the associated three month revenues as of September 30, 2017 and 2016, and accounts receivable at September 30, 2017 and June 30, 2017 as depicted below.

Inventory

Inventories, consisting primarily of food products and packaging in New Zealand and security system hardware in Canada, are valued at the lower of cost (determined on a FIFO basis) or market. Inventories include product cost, inbound freight and warehousing costs. Management compares the cost of inventories with the market value and an allowance is made for writing down the inventories to their market value, if lower. For the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 impairment to inventory value was recorded as $0 and $684, respectively. An assessment is made at the end of each reporting period to determine what inventory items have remained in stock from the close of the corresponding prior year reporting period. If such items exist, either a reserve is established to reduce inventory value by the value of these items, or these items are removed from the inventory valuation and recorded as an expense. As of September 30, 2017 and September 30, 2016, the expense for slow moving or obsolete inventory was $0 and $0, respectively. As of September 30, 2017 and June 30, 2017 there was no reserve established for slow moving inventory valuation.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to earnings as incurred; additions, renewals and leasehold improvements are capitalized. Office furniture and equipment include office fixtures, computers, printers and other office equipment plus software and applicable packaging designs. Leasehold improvements, which are included in plant and equipment, are depreciated over the shorter of the useful life of the improvement and the length of the lease. When property and equipment are retired or otherwise disposed of, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective accounts, and any gain or loss is included in operations. Depreciation is computed using the straight line method over the estimated useful life of the asset (see Note 5 to the Financial Statements).

Intangible Assets

Intangible assets consist of brand names, domain names, recipes, non-compete agreements and customer lists. Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized over the estimated useful life and are evaluated for impairment at least on an annual basis and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. The Company assesses recoverability by determining whether the carrying value of such assets will be recovered through the discounted expected future cash flows. If the future discounted cash flows are less than the carrying amount of these assets, the Company recognizes an impairment loss based on the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value of the assets. There was no impairment recorded for the three months ended September 30, 2017 or the three months ended September 30, 2016.

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the aggregate purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired in a purchase businesses combination. Goodwill is tested for impairment on an annual basis during the fourth quarter of our fiscal year, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of goodwill may be impaired. The goodwill impairment test is a two-step test. Under the first step, the fair value of the reporting unit is compared with its carrying value including goodwill. If the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds its carrying value, step two does not need to be performed. If the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying value, an indication of goodwill impairment exists for the reporting unit and the enterprise must perform step two of the impairment test. Under step two, an impairment loss is recognized for any excess of the carrying amount of the reporting unit’s goodwill over the implied fair value of that goodwill. The implied fair value of goodwill is determined by allocating the fair value of the reporting unit in a manner similar to a purchase price allocation. The residual fair value after this allocation is the implied fair value of the reporting unit goodwill. There was no impairment recorded for the three months ended September 30, 2017 or 2016.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The Company tests long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable through the estimated undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the assets. Whenever any such impairment exists, an impairment loss will be recognized for the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value. There was no impairment recorded for the three months ended September 30, 2017 or 2016.

Investments and Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Short-term investments are classified as available-for-sale securities. The Company measures the investments at fair value at period end with any changes in fair value reflected as unrealized gains or (losses) on the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income. The Company values its investments in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 820 – Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820”). ASC 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurement. The changes to past practice resulting from the application of ASC 820 relate to the definition of fair value, the methods used to measure fair value, and the expanded disclosures about fair value measurement. ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between: (1) market participant assumptions developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company (observable inputs) and (2) The Company’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions developed based on the best information available under the circumstances (unobservable inputs). The three levels defined by the ASC 820 hierarchy are as follows:

Level 1 – Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date.

Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 assets include the following: 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, and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means (market-corroborated inputs).

Level 3 – Unobservable pricing input at the measurement date for the asset or liability. Unobservable inputs shall be used to measure fair value to the extent that observable inputs are not available.

In some instances, the inputs used to measure fair value might fall within different levels of the fair value hierarchy. The level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement in its entirety falls shall be determined based on the lowest input level that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue consists of fees earned through management of investment funds, sale of gourmet meat pies and related bakery confections in New Zealand, security alarm system installation and monitoring service in Canada, and subscriptions to gathering of live-streaming video recording data displayed online to users. Revenue is accounted for net of sales taxes, sales returns, trade discounts. Revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the price is fixed or determinable, the delivery has occurred, no other significant obligations of the Company exist, and collectability is probable. Product is considered delivered to the customer once it has been shipped and title, risk of loss and rewards of ownership have been transferred. For most of the Company’s product sales or services, these criteria are met at the time the product is shipped, the subscription period commences, or the management fees are accrued.

Income Taxes

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is provided for deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not that these items will either expire before the Company is able to realize their benefits or if future deductibility is uncertain.

When tax returns are filed, it is highly certain that some positions taken would be sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities, while others are subject to uncertainty about the merits of the position taken or the amount of the position that would be ultimately sustained. The benefit of a tax position is recognized in the financial statements in the period during which, based on all available evidence, management believes it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including the resolution of appeals or litigation processes, if any. Tax positions taken are not offset or aggregated with other positions. Tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold are measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50 percent likely of being realized upon settlement with the applicable taxing authority. The portion of the benefits associated with tax positions taken that exceeds the amount measured as described above is reflected as a liability for unrecognized tax benefits in the balance sheets along with any associated interest and penalties that would be payable to the taxing authorities upon examination. Applicable interest and penalties associated with unrecognized tax benefits are classified as additional income taxes in the statements of operations. 

Advertising Costs

The Company expenses the cost of advertising as incurred. Advertising costs for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 was $0.8 million for both periods.

Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)

Foreign Currency Translation

We record foreign currency translation adjustments and transaction gains and losses in accordance with ASC 830-30, Foreign Currency Translation. The accounts of Gourmet Foods use the New Zealand dollar as the functional currency. The accounts of Brigadier use the Canadian dollar as the functional currency. Assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate on the balance sheet date, and operating results are translated at the weighted average exchange rate throughout the period. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses can also occur if a transaction is settled in a currency other than the entity's functional currency. Accumulated translation gains and (losses) classified as an item of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in the stockholders’ equity section of the consolidated balance sheet was approximately $43 thousand and ($10) thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. For the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 there were no material transactional gains or losses.

Short-term Investment Valuation

Other comprehensive income (loss) attributed to changes in the valuation of short-term investments held by Wainwright was approximately ($44) thousand and ($1) thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. 

Segment Reporting

The Company defines operating segments as components about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performances. The Company allocates its resources and assesses the performance of its sales activities based on the geographic locations of its subsidiaries (Refer to Note 17 of the Financial Statements).

Business Combinations

We allocate the fair value of purchase consideration to the tangible assets acquired, liabilities assumed and intangible assets acquired based on their estimated fair values. The excess of the fair value of purchase consideration over the fair values of these identifiable assets and liabilities is recorded as goodwill. Such valuations require management to make significant estimates and assumptions, especially with respect to intangible assets. Significant estimates in valuing certain intangible assets include, but are not limited to, future expected cash flows from acquired users, acquired trade names from a market participant perspective, useful lives and discount rates. Management’s estimates of fair value are based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable, but which are inherently uncertain and unpredictable and, as a result, actual results may differ from estimates. During the measurement period, which is one year from the acquisition date, we may record adjustments to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. For the each of the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, a determination was made that no adjustments were necessary.

Reclassifications

For comparative purposes, certain 2016 Financial Statements have been reclassified to conform to report classifications of the current year after giving consideration to the acquisition of Wainwright as a pooling of interests under common control.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

The Company has reviewed new accounting pronouncements issued between October 13, 2017, the filing date of our most recent prior Annual Report on Form 10-K, and the filing date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and has determined that no pronouncements issued are relevant to the Company, and/or have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or disclosure requirements. 

NOTE 3.          BASIC AND DILUTED NET INCOME PER SHARE

Basic net income per share is based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted net income per share is based on the assumption that all dilutive convertible shares and stock options were converted or exercised. Dilution is computed by applying the treasury stock method. Under this method, options and warrants are assumed to be exercised at the beginning of the period (or at the time of issuance, if later), and as if funds obtained thereby were used to purchase common stock at the average market price during the period.

Diluted net income per share reflects the effects of shares potentially issuable upon conversion of convertible preferred stock.

The components of basic and diluted earnings per share were as follows:

Wainwright, from time to time, provides initial investments in the creation of ETP funds that Wainwright manages. Wainwright classifies these investments as current assets as these investments are generally sold within one year from the balance sheet date. Investments in which no controlling financial interest or significant influence exists are recorded at fair value with unrealized holding gains and losses included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) as a component of stockholders’ equity, except for unrealized losses determined to be other-than-temporary, which are included in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). As of September 30, 2017 and June 30, 2017, investments were approximately $3.6 million at each period end, respectively. Investments in which no controlling financial interest exists, but significant influence exists are recorded as per the equity method of investment accounting. As of September 30, 2017 and June 30, 2017, there were no investments requiring the equity method investment accounting.

Investments measured at estimated fair value consist of the following as of September 30, 2017 and June 30, 2017:

Wainwright Holdings, Inc.

On December 9, 2016, the Company closed a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”), by and among the Company and Wainwright and each of the shareholders of Wainwright common stock (the “Wainwright Sellers”), pursuant to which the Wainwright Sellers agreed to sell, and the Company agreed to purchase 1,741 shares of Wainwright common stock, par value $0.01 per share, (the “Wainwright Common Stock”), which represents all of the issued and outstanding Wainwright Common Stock, in exchange for: (i) 818,799,976 shares of Company Common Stock, and (ii) 9,354,119 shares of Company Preferred Stock (which preferred shares are convertible into 187,082,377 shares of Company Common Stock). Wainwright and the Company have a commonality of ownership and control as represented by the shareholdings, either directly or beneficially, of Nicholas Gerber and Scott Schoenberger as a group pursuant to the aforementioned Purchase Agreement and a voting agreement which gives them control of over 50% of Wainwright and over 50% of Concierge both before and after the business combination. Accordingly, the acquisition has been recorded as a transaction between entities under common control in the accompanying financial statements. Further, the accompanying financial statements have been adjusted to include the carrying value of assets, liabilities, equity and operations of Wainwright as if the transaction had concluded on July 1, 2015. The Wainwright assets, liabilities and shareholders' equity were recorded at their historical values with no step-up or adjustment to fair market value.

NOTE 14.         STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY

Reverse Stock Split

On November 11, 2015, the Board of Directors (the “Board’) of the Company approved the implementation of a one-for-ten (1:10) reverse stock split of all of the Company’s issued and outstanding common and preferred stock (the “Reverse Stock Split”).  The Reverse Stock Split became effective when trading opened on December 15, 2015. The Reverse Stock Split was previously approved by the Company’s shareholders pursuant to a majority written consent and by the Board pursuant to unanimous written consent on February 26, 2015. The approvals provided discretion to the Board to implement the Reverse Stock Split by the end of 2015.  The number of the Company’s authorized shares of common stock did not change. All figures have been presented on the basis of reverse split where ever applicable for all the periods presented in these financial statements.

Our Board and the majority of stockholders have approved the adoption of a one-for-thirty (1:30) reverse stock split whereby each thirty shares of our common stock and Series B preferred stock, issued and outstanding as of the record date established by Board, shall be combined into one share of common stock or preferred stock, as applicable. The reverse stock split will become effective as determined by the Board in its discretion at any time prior to December 31, 2017.

Convertible Preferred Stock

Series B Voting, Convertible, Preferred Stock ("Series B Stock") is convertible into 20 shares of common stock and carries a vote of 20 shares of common stock in all matters brought before the shareholders for a vote. Series B Stock is eligible for conversion only after the elapse of 270 days from the date of issuance has transpired, and provided there are sufficient authorized, unissued, shares of common stock available to convert all shares of Series B Stock.

Mezzanine Presentation

Upon issuance of the preferred shares in the Wainwright acquisition, the Company no longer had sufficient authorized, unissued common stock to allow for Series B Stock conversion. Accordingly, the Series B Stock was reclassified to the mezzanine section of the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Other equity accounts have been adjusted to reflect the historical cost basis of Wainwright.

The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method, which recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their financial statement reported amounts, and for net operating losses and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The Company records a valuation allowance against deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that such asset will not be realized. The Company continues to monitor the likelihood that it will be able to recover its deferred tax assets. If recovery is not likely, the Company must increase its provision for income taxes by recording a valuation allowance against the deferred tax assets.

The Company accounts for uncertain tax positions in accordance with the authoritative guidance on income taxes under which the Company may only recognize or continue to recognize tax positions that meet a "more likely than not" threshold. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as a component of the provision for income taxes.

As of September 30, 2017, the Company's total unrecognized tax benefits were approximately $0.2 million, which would affect the effective tax rate if recognized. The Company will recognize interest and penalties, when they occur, related to uncertain tax provisions as a component of tax expense. There is no interest or penalties to be recognized for the quarter ended September 30, 2017 or 2016.

The Company is required to make its best estimate of the annual effective tax rate for the full fiscal year and use that rate to provide for income taxes on a current year-to-date basis. The Company recorded a tax provision of $0.5 million and $1.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 differed from the statutory rate primarily due to the mix of non-deductible items. The effective tax rate could fluctuate in the future due to changes in the taxable income mix between various jurisdictions.

The Company is subject to income taxes in the U.S. federal, various states, Canada and New Zealand tax jurisdictions. Tax regulations within each jurisdiction are subject to the interpretation of the related tax laws and regulations and require significant judgment to apply. The Company’s tax years 2013 through 2017 will remain open for examination by the federal and state authorities which is three and four years, respectively. The Company’s tax years from acquisition through 2017 remain open for examination by Canada and New Zealand authorities which is four years. As of September 30, 2017, there were no active taxing authority examinations.

Other Agreements and Commitments

USCF Advisers has entered into expense limitation agreements with three of the funds it manages under which USCF Advisers has agreed to waive, reimburse fees or pay fund expenses in order to limit the fund’s total annual operating expenses to certain threshold amounts. Two of the funds, TOFR and MENU, are covered by an agreement which remain in effect until October 31, 2017 and limit the funds' expenses to 0.55% and 0.65%, respectively, for each of their average daily net asset values. The third fund, USCF Commodity Strategy Fund, expense limitation agreement remains in effect until July 31, 2018 and limits fund expenses to 1.30% and 0.95% of the funds' average daily net assets for the Class A and Class I shares classes, respectively. After such dates, USCF Advisers may terminate the expense limitation agreements at any time upon not less than 90 days’ notice to the respective fund trust boards. Please refer to Note 18 regarding liquidation of TOFR and MENU subsequent to quarter end.

USCF manages seven funds which have expense waiver provisions, whereby USCF will reimburse funds when fund expenditure levels exceed certain thresholds amounts. As of September 30, 2017 and June 30, 2017 the expense waiver payable was $648,117 and $589,093, respectively. Expense waiver expense for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 was approximately $190,000 and $252,000, respectively. However, USCF has no obligation to continue such payments into subsequent periods.

Litigation

From time to time, the Company is involved in legal proceedings arising mainly from the ordinary course of its business. In management’s opinion, the legal proceedings are not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

Retirement Plan

Wainwright's wholly owned subsidiary USCF, has a 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan covering its employees who are over 21 years of age and who have completed a minimum of 1,000 hours of service and have worked for USCF for one or more years. Participants may make contributions pursuant to a salary reduction agreement. In addition, USCF makes a safe harbor matching contribution. There were no matching contributions paid the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

With the acquisition of Wainwright Holdings, Gourmet Foods, Ltd. and Brigadier, the Company has identified four segments for its products and services; U.S. investment fund management, U.S. data streaming and hardware, New Zealand and Canada. Our reportable segments are business units located in different global regions. The Company’s operations in the U.S.A. include the gathering of live-streaming video recording data displayed online to subscribers through our wholly owned subsidiary Kahnalytics, Inc. and the income derived from management of various investment funds by our subsidiary Wainwright. In New Zealand operations include the production, packaging and distribution on a commercial scale of gourmet meat pies and related bakery confections through our wholly owned subsidiary Gourmet Foods, Ltd. and in Canada we provide security alarm system installation and monitoring to residential and commercial customers sold through our wholly owned subsidiary Brigadier. Separate management of each segment is required because each business unit is subject to different operational issues and strategies due to their particular regional location. The Company accounts for intra-company sales and expenses as if the sales or expenses were to third parties and eliminates them in the consolidation. Amounts are adjusted for currency translation as of the balance sheet date and presented in US dollars.

NOTE 18.     SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

The Company evaluated subsequent events for recognition and disclosure through the date the financial statements were issued or filed. Nothing has occurred outside normal operations since that required recognition or disclosure in these financial statements other than the items noted below.

On October 18, 2017, through its wholly owned subsidiary Kahnalytics, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement which, if effectuated, will result in the purchase of all of the assets of The Original Sprout LLC, a California limited liability company, which engages in the manufacture and sale of organic, non-toxic, all natural hair care, bath, skin, and styling products, by Kahnalytics. The purchase price of approximately $3.6 million will be paid in cash by Kahnalytics through funds advanced by Concierge Technologies in the form of an intercompany loan.

Also, as of October 31, 2017 the expense limitation agreements associated with these funds expired with no significant additional financial reimbursement obligations.

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 financial statements and the accompanying notes thereto and is qualified in its entirety by the foregoing and by more detailed financial information appearing elsewhere in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q. See "Financial Statements."

Overview

Concierge Technologies, Inc. (“Concierge”) or the (“Company”) conducts business through its wholly-owned operating subsidiaries operating in the U.S., New Zealand and Canada, respectively. The operations of the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries are more particularly described herein but are summarized as follows:

Results of Operations

Concierge and Subsidiaries

With the acquisition of Wainwright, where Wainwright and Concierge have a commonality of ownership and control as represented by the shareholdings, the acquisition has been recorded as a transaction between entities under common control on the Consolidated Balance Sheets of the Company. Further, the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income have been adjusted to include the carrying value of operations of Wainwright as if the transaction had concluded on July 1, 2015.

For the Three Months Ended September 30, 2017 Compared to the Three Months Ended September 30, 2016

Operating Income

Concierge produced an operating income for the three months ended September 30, 2017 of approximately $1.4 million as compared to approximately $2.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016. This represents a decrease in operating income of approximately $1.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017 when compared to the three months ended September 30, 2016, or approximately 42%. The decrease in operating income is primarily attributable to lower Wainwright revenue as well as increased advertising and marketing costs during the current year connected to the launching of new product offerings.

Other Expenses 

Other expenses were $21 thousand and $8 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.  A reduction in provision for income taxes of $0.5 million compared to $1.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, was a result of lower operating income in the current period resulting in a net income of $0.9 million and $1.3 million, respectively. After giving consideration to currency translation gains of $43 thousand and changes in short-term investment valuations of ($44) thousand, the comprehensive income for the three months ended September 30, 2017 was $0.9 million as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2016 where the currency translation loss was ($10) thousand, the changes in short term investment valuation was ($1) thousand, and the comprehensive income was $1.3 million.

Wainwright Holdings

Wainwright was founded as a holding company in March 2004 as a Delaware corporation with one subsidiary, Ameristock Corporation, which was an investment adviser to Ameristock Mutual Fund, Inc., a registered 1940 Act large cap value equity fund. In January 2010, Ameristock Corporation was spun off as a standalone company. In May 2005, USCF was formed as a single member limited liability company in the state of Delaware. In June 2013, USCF Advisers was formed as a Delaware limited liability company and in July 2014, was registered as an investment adviser under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended. In November 2013, the USCF Advisers board of managers formed USCF ETF Trust (“ETF Trust”) and in and July 2016, the USCF Mutual Funds Trust (“Mutual Funds Trust” and together with “ETF Trust” the “Trusts”) both as open-end management investment companies registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended ("the 1940 Act"). The Trusts are authorized to have multiple segregated series or portfolios. Wainwright owns all of the issued and outstanding limited liability company membership interests of its subsidiaries, USCF and USCF Advisers, each a Delaware limited liability company and are affiliated companies.  USCF serves as the general partner (“General Partner”) for various limited partnerships (“LP”) and sponsor (“Sponsor”) as noted below. USCF and USCF Advisers are subject to federal, state and local laws and regulations generally applicable to the investment services industry. USCF is a commodity pool operator (“CPO”) subject to regulation by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (the "CFTC") and the National Futures Association (the “NFA”) under the Commodities Exchange Act (“CEA”). USCF Advisers is an investment adviser registered under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended and has registered as a CPO under the CEA. Exchange traded products (“ETPs”) issued or sponsored by USCF are required to be registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) in accordance with the Securities Act of 1933.  USCF Advisers advises two exchange traded funds (“ETFs”) and one commodity mutual fund registered with the SEC under the Investment Company Act of 1940. Wainwright and subsidiaries USCF and USCF Advisers are collectively referred to as “Wainwright” hereafter. 

USCF is currently the General Partner in the following Securities Act of 1933 LP commodity based index funds and Sponsor (“Sponsor”) for the fund series within the United States Commodity Index Funds Trust (“USCIF Trust”) and the USCF Funds Trust (“USCF Funds Trust”):

The USCIF Trust currently has a new fund, USCF Canadian Crude Oil Index Fund (“UCCO”), in registration and has not commenced operations.

All USCF funds and the Trusts' funds are collectively referred to as the “Funds” hereafter. (See Note 18 to the consolidated financial statements for updates on fund launches or liquidations)

For the Three Months Ended September 30, 2017, Compared to the Three Months Ended September 30, 2016

Wainwright’s revenue and expenses are primarily driven by the amount of Fund assets under management (“AUM”). Wainwright earns monthly management and advisory fees based on agreements with each Fund as determined by the contractual basis point management fee structure in each agreement multiplied by the average AUM over the given period. Many of the Company’s expenses are dependent upon the amount of AUM. These variable expenses include Fund administration, custody, accounting, transfer agency, marketing and distribution, and sub-adviser fees and are primarily determined by multiplying contractual fee rates by AUM. Total Operating Expenses are grouped into the following financial statement line items: General and Administrative, Marketing and Distribution, Operations and Salaries and Compensation.

Average AUM for the three months ended September 30, 2017 decreased to $3.9 billion, or 19%, from the three month average of $4.8 billion for the three months ended September 30, 2016. As a result of decreased AUM revenues also decreased 19%, or $1.2 million, to $5.2 million from $6.4 million over the respective three month period.

Wainwright’s total Operating Expenses for three months ended September 30, 2017 decreased by $0.26 million to $3.66 million, or 7%, from $3.92 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016. Variable expenses, as described above, decreased $0.16 million over the respective three-month period due to lower AUM which reduced sub-advisory fees and other variable costs, but were partially offset by operating costs of new funds and fixed minimum costs of smaller funds. General and Administrative expenses decreased $0.15 million to $0.62 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017 from $0.77 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016 due to decreases in fund expense waiver reimbursements based on contractual expense thresholds for certain funds, decreases in legal fees, and decreases in new fund expenditures. Marketing and Distribution expenses had a small increase of $0.03 million to $0.80 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to the comparable prior year period even though advertising expenses increased by $0.12 million as a result of continued new fund marketing efforts and branding, but were substantially offset by a reduction in variable distribution costs as a result of lower AUM. Employee Salaries and Compensation expenses were approximately $0.9 million for both respective 3 month periods.

Net income before taxes for the three months ended September 30, 2017 decreased $0.98 million to $1.46 million from $2.44 million for three months ended September 30, 2016 primarily due to the $1.2 million decrease in revenue partially offset by decreases Operations expenses and General and Administrative expenses.

Gourmet Foods, Ltd.

Gourmet Foods Limited (“Gourmet Foods”), was organized in its current form in 2005 (previously known as Pats Pantry Ltd). Pats Pantry was founded in 1966 to produce and sell wholesale bakery products, meat pies and patisserie cakes and slices, in New Zealand. Gourmet Foods, located in Tauranga, New Zealand, sells substantially all of its goods to supermarkets and service station chains with stores located throughout New Zealand. Gourmet Foods also has a large number of smaller independent lunch bars, cafes and corner dairies among the customer list, however they comprise a relatively insignificant dollar volume in comparison to the primary accounts of large distributors and retailers. Concierge purchased all of the issued and outstanding shares of Gourmet Foods as of August 1, 2015 even though the transaction did not officially close until August 11, 2015.

Gourmet Foods operates exclusively in New Zealand and thus the New Zealand dollar is its functional currency. In order to consolidate Concierge’s reporting currency, the US dollar, with that of Gourmet Foods, Concierge records foreign currency translation adjustments and transaction gains and losses in accordance with ASC 830-30. The translation of New Zealand currency into U.S. dollars is performed for balance sheet accounts using the exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date and for revenue and expense accounts using a weighted average exchange rate during the period. Gains and losses resulting from the foreign currency translations are included in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Expense found on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

For the Three Months Ended September 30, 2017 Compared to the Three Months Ended September 30, 2016

Net revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2017 were $1.3 million with cost of goods sold of $0.9 million resulting in a gross profit of $0.4 million as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2016 where net revenues were $1.2 million; cost of goods sold were $0.8 million; and gross profit was $0.4 million.

General, administrative and selling expenses, including wages and marketing, for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and the three months ended September 30, 2016 were $0.3 million and $0.4 million producing operating income of $82 thousand and $30 thousand, respectively, or approximately 6% net operating profit for three months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to 2% for the three months ended September 30, 2016.

The depreciation expense, income tax provision and other income totaled $78 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to $55 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2016, resulting in a net income of approximately $7 thousand as compared to a net loss of $25 thousand, respectively.

The gross profits and total revenues are consistent between the comparison periods and the differences in net income are attributed to stepped-up depreciation expense, varying income tax provisions and the fluctuation of currency exchange rates with the New Zealand dollar.

Brigadier Security Systems (2000) Ltd.

Brigadier Security Systems (2000) Ltd. (“Brigadier”) was founded in 1985 and through internal growth and acquisitions the core business of Brigadier began in 1998. Today Brigadier is one of the largest SecurTek security monitoring dealers in Saskatchewan with offices in both major urban areas of Regina (under the fictitious business name of “Elite Security”) and Saskatoon. SecurTek is owned by Saskatchewan's publicly-owned telecommunications utility with well over 100,000 customers across Canada. Brigadier is also a Honeywell Certified Access Control Distributor, Kantech Global Dealer and UTC Interlogix Security Pro dealer and the largest independent security contractor in the province. Brigadier provides comprehensive security solutions including access control, camera monitoring, motion detection, and intrusion alarms to home and business owners as well as government offices, schools and public buildings. Brigadier typically sells hardware to customers and a full-time monitoring of the premises. The contract for monitoring the premises` is then conveyed to a third-party telecom in exchange for recurring residuals based on subscriber contracts.

Brigadier operates exclusively in Canada and thus the Canadian dollar is its functional currency. In order to consolidate Concierge’s reporting currency, the U.S. dollar, with that of Brigadier, Concierge records foreign currency translation adjustments and transaction gains and losses in accordance with ASC 830-30. The translation of Canadian currency into U.S. dollars is performed for balance sheet accounts using the exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date and for revenue and expense accounts using a weighted average exchange rate during the period. Gains and losses resulting from the foreign currency translations are included in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Expense found on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

For the Three Months Ended September 30, 2017 Compared to the Three Months Ended September 30, 2016

Net revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2017 were $0.8 million with cost of goods sold recorded as $0.3 million, resulting in a gross profit of $0.5 million with a gross margin of approximately 58% as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2016 where net revenues were $0.8 million with cost of goods sold of $0.4 million and a gross profit of $0.4 million, or approximately 54%.

General, administrative and selling expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2017 were $0.3 million producing an operating profit of $0.1 million or approximately 17% as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2016 where operating profits were $0.2 million, or approximately 20%, with general, administrative and selling expenses of $0.4 million.

Other expense comprised of depreciation, income tax, interest income, commission income and gain on sale of assets totaled $39 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2017 resulting in a net profit of $0.1 million as compared to a net profit of $0.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016 where other expense totaled $36 thousand.

Kahnalytics, Inc.

Kahnalytics was established in 2015 to carry on the residual business of Janus Cam (a previously wholly-owned subsidiary in the camera business) after disposal of that subsidiary. For the years ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, the Company has incurred de minimis operating losses insignificant to the overall enterprise. As of June 30, 2017, the business is being wound down and management expects operations within the industry of mobile video and live-streaming data to be eliminated during the current fiscal year.

Plan of Operation for the Next Twelve Months

Our plan of operation for the next twelve months is to transition our Kahnalytics subsidiary into a more profitable industry sector through acquisition or business combination thus stemming losses and growing revenues. Additionally, we are expecting moderate growth in Brigadier through focused management initiatives and consolidation within the security industry. Similarly, we expect Gourmet Foods to be operating more efficiently under current management and continue to increase market share through additional product offerings and channels to market. Wainwright will continue to develop innovative and new fund products to grow its portfolio. Our long-term mission is to continue with our acquisition strategy by identifying and acquiring profitable, mature, companies of a diverse nature and with in-place management to produce increasing revenue streams. By these initiatives we hope to:

Liquidity and Capital Resources 

Concierge is a holding company that conducts its operations through its subsidiaries. At its holding-company level, its liquidity needs relate to operational expenses and the funding of additional business acquisitions. Our operating subsidiaries' principal liquidity requirements arise from cash used in operating activities, debt service, and capital expenditures, including purchases of equipment and services, operating costs and expenses, and income taxes.

As of September 30, 2017, we had $7.3 million of cash and cash equivalents on a consolidated basis as compared to $6.7 million as of June 30, 2017. 

Investments

Wainwright, from time to time, provides initial investments in the creation of ETP funds that Wainwright manages. Wainwright classifies these investments as current assets as these investments are generally sold within one year from the balance sheet date. These investments are described further in Note 7 to our Financial Statements.

Reverse Stock Split

Our Board and the majority stockholders have approved the adoption of a one-for-thirty (1:30) reverse stock split whereby each thirty shares of our common stock and Series B Preferred stock issued and outstanding as of the record date established by the Board shall be combined into one share of common stock or preferred stock, as applicable (the “Reverse Stock Split”). The Reverse Stock Split will become effective as determined by the Board in its discretion at any time prior to December 31, 2017.

Recent Developments

On October 18, 2017, through our wholly owned subsidiary Kahnalytics, we entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement which, if effectuated, will result in the purchase of all of the assets of The Original Sprout LLC, a California limited liability company, which engages in the manufacture and sale of organic, non-toxic, all natural hair care, bath, skin, and styling products, by Kahnalytics. The purchase price of approximately $3.6M will be paid in cash by Kahnalytics through funds advanced by us in the form of an interest free loan. Closing of the proposed transaction, which is structured as an asset purchase falling under California Bulk Sales guidelines, is subject to satisfaction of certain closing conditions and disclosures which are usual and customary for transactions of this nature. For details, refer to the Company’s Form 8-K filed with the SEC on October 20, 2017 and incorporated by reference herein.

As it relates to Wainwright, on September 22, 2017 the board of trustees of the USCF ETF Trust approved a plan for the liquidation of the Stock Split Index Fund (“TOFR”) and the USCF Restaurant Leaders Index Fund (“MENU”), each a series (or the “Funds”) of the USCF ETF Trust, as a result of the low asset levels and lack of growth for each fund. On October 20, 2017 the Funds concluded their liquidation plan with each Fund distributing its remaining net asset value to shareholders. Also, as of October 31, 2017 the expense limitation agreements associated with these funds expired with no significant additional financial reimbursement obligations.
