MINIM, INC., AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)

 

(1)NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

Minim, Inc., formerly known as Zoom Telephonics, Inc., and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Zoom Connectivity, Inc. and MTRLC LLC, are herein collectively referred to as the “Company”. We deliver innovative Internet access products that reliably and securely connect homes and offices around the world. We are the exclusive global license holder to the Motorola brand for home networking hardware. The Company designs and manufactures products including cable modems, cable modem/routers, mobile broadband modems, wireless routers, Multimedia over Coax (“MoCA”) adapters and mesh home networking devices. Our AI-driven cloud software platform and applications make network management and security simple for home and business users, as well as the service providers that assist them— leading to higher customer satisfaction and decreased support burden.

 

On June 3, 2021, the Company filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware a Certificate of Amendment to its Certificate of Incorporation to change its legal corporate name from “Zoom Telephonics, Inc.” to “Minim, Inc.”, effective as of June 3, 2021.

 

On July 7, 2021, the Company’s common stock, $0.01 par value per share (the “Common Stock”), ceased trading on the OTCQB and commenced trading on The Nasdaq Capital Market under the ticker symbol “MINM.”

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements, including the accounts of Minim, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim reporting. As permitted under those rules, certain footnotes or other financial information that are normally required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) can be condensed or omitted. In the opinion of management, the financial statements include all normal and recurring adjustments that are considered necessary for the fair presentation of the Company’s financial position and operating results. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.

 

The results of the Company’s operations can vary during each quarter of the year. Therefore, the results and trends in these interim financial statements may not be the same as those for the full year or any future periods.

 

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. None of the reclassifications impacted the consolidated statements of operations for the period ended June 30, 2020.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP 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 consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expense during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from those estimates. Significant estimates made by the Company include: 1) allowance for doubtful accounts for accounts receivable (collectability); 2) contract liabilities (sales returns, and other variable considerations); 3) asset valuation allowance for deferred income tax assets; 4) write-downs of inventory for slow-moving and obsolete items, and market valuations; and 5) stock-based compensation.

Zoom Connectivity Merger

 

On November 12, 2020, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Zoom Connectivity, Inc., (“Zoom Connectivity”), a Delaware corporation, that designs, develops, sells and supports an IoT security platform that enables and secures a better connected home. Under the Merger Agreement, Elm Acquisition Sub, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, was merged with and into Zoom Connectivity in exchange for 10,784,534 shares of Common Stock of the Company. As a result of the merger, effected December 4, 2020, Zoom Connectivity was the surviving entity and became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.

 

Immediately prior to closing of the Merger Agreement, the majority stockholder of the Company was also the majority stockholder of Zoom Connectivity. As a result of the common ownership upon closing of the transaction, the merger was considered a common-control transaction and was outside the scope of the business combination guidance in ASC 805-50. The entities are deemed to be under common control as of October 9, 2020, which was the date that the majority stockholder acquired control of the Company and, therefore, held control over both companies. The consolidated financial statements incorporate Zoom Connectivity’s financial results and financial information for the period beginning October 9, 2020, and the comparative information of the prior period does not include the financial results of Zoom Connectivity prior to October 9, 2020. The merger of the Company with Zoom Connectivity is referred to as the “Zoom Connectivity Merger” within these financial statements.

 

(2) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

The Company’s significant accounting policies are disclosed in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020. The Company’s significant accounting policies did not change during the six months ended June 30, 2021.

 

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

 

In December 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) ASU 2019-12 “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes”, which is intended to improve consistent application and simplify the accounting for income taxes. This ASU removes certain exceptions to the general principals in Topic 740 and clarifies and amends existing guidance. The Company adopted the new standard effective January 1, 2021. The adoption had no impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

 

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments Credit Losses —Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments.” ASU 2016-13 requires a financial asset (or group of financial assets) measured at amortized cost basis to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected, which includes the Company’s accounts receivable. This ASU is effective for the Company for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2022. The Company is currently assessing the potential impact that the adoption of this ASU will have on its consolidated financial statements.

 

With the exception of the new standards discussed above, there have been no other new accounting pronouncements that have significance, or potential significance, to the Company’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

 

(3) REVENUE RECOGNITION

 

The Company primarily sells hardware products to its customers. The hardware products include cable modems and gateways, mobile broadband modems, wireless routers, MoCA adapters and mesh home networking devices. The Company derives its net sales primarily from the sales of hardware products to computer peripherals retailers, computer product distributors, OEMs, and direct to consumers and other channel partners via the Internet. The Company accounts for point-of-sale taxes on a net basis.

 

7
 

 

The Company also sells and earns revenues from software as a service (“SaaS”), including software service that enables and secures a better-connected home with the AI-driven smart home WiFi management and security platform. Customers do not have the contractual right or ability to take possession of the hosted software.

 

The Company has concluded that transfer of control of its hardware products transfers to the customer upon shipment or delivery, depending on the delivery terms of the purchase agreement. Revenues from sales of hardware products are recognized at a point in time upon transfer of control.

 

The Company sells software as a SaaS offering. The SaaS agreements are offered over a defined contract period, generally one year, and are sold to Internet service providers, who then promote the services to their subscribers. These services are available as an on-demand application over the defined term. The agreements include service offerings, which deliver applications and technologies via cloud-based deployment models that the Company develops functionality for, provides unspecified updates and enhancements for, and hosts, manages, provides upgrade and support for the customers access by entering into solution agreements for a stated period. The monthly fees charged to the customers are based on the number of subscribers utilizing the services each month, and the revenue recognized generally corresponds to the monthly billing amounts as the services are delivered.

 

Multiple Performance Obligations

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company introduced new hardware products that include SaaS software services as a bundled product to its customers. The Company accounts for these sales in accordance with the multiple performance obligation guidance of ASC Topic 606. For multiple performance obligation contracts, the Company accounts for the promises separately as individual performance obligations if they are distinct. Performance obligations are determined to be distinct if they are both capable of being distinct and distinct within the context of the contract. In determining whether performance obligations meet the criteria of being distinct, the Company considers a number of factors, such as degree of interrelation and interdependence between obligations, and whether or not the good or service significantly modifies or transforms another good or service in the contract. SaaS included with certain hardware products is considered distinct from the hardware, and therefore the hardware and SaaS software services offerings are treated as separate performance obligations.

 

After identifying the separate performance obligations, the transaction price is allocated to the separate obligations on a relative standalone selling price basis (“SSP”). SSP’s are generally determined based on the prices charged to customers when the performance obligation is sold separately or using an adjusted market assessment. The estimated SSP of the hardware and SaaS offerings are directly observable from the sales of those products and software based on a range of prices.

 

Revenue is recognized for each distinct performance obligation as control is transferred to the customer. In general, control of the hardware transfers to the customer at time of shipment or delivery while the SaaS offering is delivered over the service period. Revenue attributable to hardware products bundled with SaaS offerings are recognized at the time control of the product transfers to the customer. The transaction price allocated to the SaaS offering is recognized ratably beginning when the customer is expected to activate their account and over a three-year period that the Company has estimated based on the expected replacement of the hardware.

 

The following table includes estimated revenue expected to be recognized in the future related to performance obligations for the SaaS offering that are unsatisfied or (partially unsatisfied) as of June 30, 2021:

 

   1 year   2 years   Greater than 2 years   Total 
Performance obligations  $349,961   $330,391   $322,508   $1,002,860 

 

8
 

 

Other considerations of ASC 606 include the following:

 

Warranties - the Company does not provide separate warranty for purchase to customers. Therefore, there is not a separate performance obligation. The Company does account for assurance-type warranties as a cost accrual and the warranties do not include any additional distinct services other than the assurance that the goods comply with agreed-upon specifications. The warranty reserve was not material at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020.

 

Returned Goods - analyses of actual returned products are compared to the product return estimates and historically have resulted in immaterial differences. The Company has concluded that the current process of estimating the return reserve represents a fair measure to adjust revenue. Returned goods are a form of variable consideration and under Topic 606 are estimated and recognized as a reduction of revenue as performance obligations are satisfied (e.g., upon shipment of goods). The sales returns accrual was $1.3 million and $775 thousand at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.

 

Price protection - price protection provides that if the Company reduces the price on any products sold to the customer, the Company will guarantee an account credit for the price difference for all quantities of that product that the customer still holds. Price protection is variable and under Topic 606 is estimated and recognized as a reduction of revenue as performance obligations are satisfied (e.g., upon shipment of goods). The price protection accrual was not material.

 

Volume Rebates and Promotion Programs - volume rebates are variable dependent upon the volume of goods sold-through the Company’s customers to end-users and under Topic 606 are estimated and recognized as a reduction of revenue as performance obligations are satisfied (e.g., upon shipment of goods). The rebate and promotion accrual was $113 thousand and $384 thousand at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.

(6) COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

(a) Lease Obligations

 

In May 2020, the Company signed a two-year lease agreement for 3,218 square feet at 275 Turnpike Executive Park in Canton, MA. The agreement includes a one-time option to cancel the second year of lease with three months advance notice. The location is currently being occupied by the research and development group of the Company. Rent expense was $13 thousand and $4 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Rent expense was $27 thousand and $4 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

 

Upon the completion of the Zoom Connectivity Merger, the Company assumed Zoom Connectivity’s office facility lease located at the 848 Elm Street in Manchester, NH. The two-year facility lease agreement is effective from August 1, 2019 to July 31, 2021 and provides for the lease of 2,656 square feet of office space. Rent expense was $8 thousand and $15 thousand for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively.

 

10
 

 

In June 2019, the Company signed a twelve-month lease agreement for offices at 225 Franklin Street, Boston, MA. The lease for this office expired on June 30, 2020. The Company has elected to apply the short-term lease exception under ASC 842, which does not require the recognition of an operating lease liability or right-of-use asset on the consolidated balance sheet in relation to the lease at 225 Franklin Street. Rent expense was $134 thousand and $261 thousand for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively.

 

The Company performs most of the final assembly, testing, packaging, warehousing and distribution at an approximately 24,000 square foot production and warehouse facility in Tijuana, Mexico. On April 16, 2021, the Company signed a lease extension to November 30, 2021. Rent expense was $22 thousand and $49 thousand for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively.

 

The Company also had a lease for approximately 1,550 square feet in Boston, MA that expired on October 31, 2019 and was terminated effective June 30, 2020. The Company had another lease for approximately 1,500 square feet in Boston that was terminated effective July 31, 2020. The Company has elected to apply the short-term lease exception for both of these leases under ASC 842. Rent expense for these leases was $35 thousand and $71 thousand for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively.

 

At inception of a lease the Company determines whether that lease meets the classification criteria of a finance or operating lease. Some of the Company’s lease arrangements contain lease components (e.g., minimum rent payments) and non-lease components (e.g., maintenance, labor charges, etc.). The Company generally accounts for each component separately based on the estimated standalone price of each component.

 

As of June 30, 2021, the Company’s estimated future minimum committed rental payments, excluding executory costs, under the operating leases described above to their expiration or the earliest possible termination date, whichever is sooner. There is no future minimum committed rental payment that extend beyond 2022.

 

Operating leases are included in operating lease right-of-use assets, operating lease liabilities, and long-term operating lease liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets. These assets and liabilities are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of remaining lease payments over the lease term using the Company’s secured incremental borrowing rates or implicit rates, when readily determinable. Short-term operating leases, which have an initial term of 12 months or less, are not recorded on the balance sheet.

 

Lease expense for operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Lease expense is included in general and administrative expenses on the consolidated statements of operations.

(c) Contingencies

 

The Company is party to various lawsuits and administrative proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. The Company evaluates such lawsuits and proceedings on a case-by-case basis, and its policy is to vigorously contest any such claims which it believes are without merit.

 

On February 16, 2021, the Company received a letter from a law firm representing a purported stockholder of the Company requesting the opportunity to review certain books and records of the Company to investigate the possibility of breaches of fiduciary duty by current and former members of the Board of Directors and the Company’s controlling stockholder in connection with his and his affiliates’ acquisition of majority control of the Company without compensating the Company’s minority stockholders and the acquisition by merger of Zoom Connectivity in which he held a substantial equity stake. The parties have been in negotiations with the counsel for the purported stockholder to resolve this matter. The Company believes that the resolution of this matter is likely to include the imposition of certain corporate governance restrictions, which would expand on current practices of the Company over a longer period of time than the standstill agreement currently in effect with the Company’s controlling stockholder, on the Company and the controlling stockholder and his affiliates and the payment of legal expenses. The matter is under negotiation and is subject to change based upon the negotiations and any other factors that may arise. There can be no assurance that this matter will be resolved on satisfactory terms.

 

On June 29, 2021, the Company received a letter from a law firm representing a purported stockholder of the Company making a litigation demand on behalf of the Company and its stockholders to address certain alleged misconduct by the Company’s Board of Directors in connection with the implementation of an amendment to the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation without having received proper stockholder approval thereof as required under Delaware corporation law. The letter demanded that the Board of Directors take immediate action to: deem the amendment ineffective and make appropriate disclosure of that fact and seek a valid stockholder approval of the amendment; and adopt and implement adequate internal controls and systems at the Company designed to prohibit and prevent a recurrence of the circumstances. The letter requested a response or contact with the law firm on or before July 16, 2021. On June 30, 2021, the Company filed with the Delaware Secretary of State a Certificate of Correction to void the previously filed amendment to the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation. The Company filed an amendment to a Current Report on Form 8-K to disclose these matters. The Company held a special meeting of stockholders on July 22, 2021 and received the requisite stockholder approval of the amendment. On July 23, 2021, the Company filed with the Delaware Secretary of State an amendment to the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of capital stock to 62,000,000 shares, consisting of 60,000,000 shares of Common Stock and 2,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock. The Company filed a Current Report on Form 8-K to disclose these matters. It is also expected that the Nominating and Governance Committee of the Board of Directors will review the Company’s internal controls and systems and the circumstances described in the demand letter to determine if any additional actions are necessary to prevent the recurrence of the circumstances relating to the foregoing events. The Company anticipates that the law firm that sent the demand letter will seek recovery of attorneys’ fees relating to this matter. The ultimate amount of any such recovery could be material but is not presently ascertainable. The Company intends vigorously to defend against any such claim for recovery of legal fees. There can be no assurance that this matter will be resolved on satisfactory terms.

 

The Company reviews the status of its legal proceedings and records a provision for a liability when it is considered probable that both a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. This review is updated periodically as additional information becomes available. If both of the criteria are not met, the Company reassesses whether there is at least a reasonable possibility that a loss, or additional losses, may be incurred. If there is a reasonable possibility that a loss may be incurred, the Company discloses the estimate of the amount of the loss or range of losses, that the amount is not material, or that an estimate of the loss cannot be made. Except for the matter disclosed above, at June 30, 2021, the Company is not currently a party to any legal proceedings that, if determined adversely to the Company, in management’s opinion, are currently expected to individually or in the aggregate have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, operating results or financial condition taken as a whole. The Company expenses its legal fees as incurred.

 

In the ordinary course of its business, in addition to the matters described above, the Company is subject to lawsuits, arbitrations, claims, and other legal proceedings in connection with their business. Some of such additional proceedings include claims for substantial or unspecified compensatory and/or punitive damages. A substantial adverse judgment or other unfavorable resolution of such matters could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows. Management believes that the Company has adequate legal defenses with respect to such additional legal proceedings to which it is a defendant or respondent and that the outcome of such proceedings is not likely to have a material adverse effect on the financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows of the Company. However, the Company is unable to predict the outcome of these matters.

(7) BANK CREDIT LINES AND GOVERNMENT LOANS

 

Bank Credit Line

 

On December 18, 2012 and as amended, the Company entered into a Financing Agreement with Rosenthal & Rosenthal, Inc. (the “Financing Agreement”). The Financing Agreement provided for up to $4.0 million of revolving credit, subject to a borrowing base formula and other terms and conditions as specified in the Financing Agreement. Borrowings are secured by all of the Company assets including intellectual property. The Company entered into an amendment on February 4, 2021 that increased the revolving credit line to $5.0 million.

 

On March 12, 2021, the Company terminated its Financing Agreement with Rosenthal & Rosenthal, Inc. and entered into a new loan and security agreement with Silicon Valley Bank (the “SVB Loan Agreement”). The SVB Loan Agreement provides for a revolving facility up to a principal amount of $12.0 million. The SVB Loan Agreement matures, and all outstanding amounts become due and payable on March 12, 2023. The SVB Loan Agreement is secured by substantially all of the Company’s assets but excludes the Company’s intellectual property. Loans under the credit facility bear interest at a rate per annum equal to (i) at all times when a streamline period is in effect, the greater of (a) one-half of one percent (0.50%) above the Prime Rate or (b) three and three-quarters of one percent (3.75%) and (ii) at all times when a streamline period is not effect, the greater of (a) one percent (1.0%) above the Prime Rate and (b) four and one-quarter of one percent (4.25%). Interest is payable monthly. The availability of borrowings under the SVB Loan Agreement are subject to certain conditions and requirements, and the borrowing base amount is up to (a) 85% of eligible accounts receivable balances plus (b) the least of (i) 60% of eligible inventory, (ii) 85% of net orderly liquidation value, and (iii) $4.8 million. In conjunction with the SVB Loan Agreement, the Company secured a $1.0 million commercial credit card line.

 

The Company incurred $93 thousand in origination costs in connection with entering into the SVB Loan Agreement. These origination costs were recorded as a debt discount and are being expensed over the remaining term of the facility. Interest expense was $78 thousand and $3 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Interest expense was $106 thousand and $8 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

 

As of June 30, 2021, the Company had $7.3 million outstanding, net of origination costs of $79 thousand, on the SVB Loan Agreement, and this credit line had availability of $2.8 million. The interest rate was 4.25% as of June 30, 2021.

 

Government Loans

 

On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”) was enacted to provide financial aid to family and businesses impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. The Company participated in the CARES Act, and on April 15, 2020, the Company entered into a note payable with Primary Bank, a bank under the Small Business Administration (“SBA”), Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) in the amount of $583 thousand. This note payable matures on March 15, 2022 with a fixed interest rate of 1% per annum with interest deferred for six months. The PPP loan has an initial term of two years, is unsecured and guaranteed by the SBA. Under the terms of the PPP note, the Company was able to apply and receive forgiveness in November 2020 of $513 thousand of the original principal balance. The Company used the proceeds from the PPP loan for qualifying expenses as defined in the PPP.

 

On April 11, 2020, Zoom Connectivity entered into a note payable with Primary Bank and received $545 thousand under the PPP. This note payable matures on March 11, 2022 with a fixed interest rate of 1% per annum with interest deferred for six months. The PPP loan has an initial term of two years, is unsecured and guaranteed by the SBA. Under the terms of the PPP note, the Company was able to apply for forgiveness of the amount due on the PPP loan. The Company submitted an application for forgiveness of this loan and received forgiveness of $535 thousand in principal and $3 thousand in accrued interest from the SBA in November 2020. The Company used the proceeds from the PPP loan for qualifying expenses as defined in the PPP.

 

In February 2021, the Company received an additional forgiveness of $20 thousand related to the Economic Injury Disaster Loan Advance received with the PPP note.

 

For the period ended June 30, 2021, the Company has recorded $61 thousand of the PPP loans in current maturities of long-term debt in the balance sheet. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020, the Company had recorded $65 thousand of the PPP loans in current maturities of long-term debt and $15 thousand in long-term debt in the consolidated balance sheets.

(8) SIGNIFICANT CUSTOMER AND DEPENDENCY ON KEY SUPPLIERS

 

Relatively few companies account for a substantial portion of the Company’s revenues. In the three months ended June 30, 2021, three companies accounted for 10% or greater individually and 93% in the aggregate of the Company’s total net sales. At June 30, 2021, two companies with an accounts receivable balance of 10% or greater individually accounted for a combined 78% of the Company’s accounts receivable. In the three months ended June 30, 2020, three companies accounted for 10% or greater individually and 88% in the aggregate of the Company’s total net sales. At June 30, 2020, four companies with an accounts receivable balance of 10% or greater individually accounted for a combined 89% of the Company’s accounts receivable. In the six months ended June 30, 2021, two companies accounted for 10% or greater individually and 85% in the aggregate of the Company’s total net sales. In the six months ended June 30, 2020, three companies accounted for 10% or greater individually and 89% in the aggregate of the Company’s total net sales.

 

The Company’s customers generally do not enter into long-term agreements obligating them to purchase products. The Company may not continue to receive significant revenues from any of these or from other large customers. A reduction or delay in orders from any of the Company’s significant customers, or a delay or default in payment by any significant customer could materially harm the Company’s business and prospects. Because of the Company’s significant customer concentration, its net sales and operating income could fluctuate significantly due to changes in political or economic conditions, or the loss, reduction of business, or less favorable terms for any of the Company’s significant customers.

 

The Company participates in the PC peripherals industry, which is characterized by aggressive pricing practices, continually changing customer demand patterns and rapid technological developments. The Company’s operating results could be adversely affected should the Company be unable to successfully anticipate customer demand accurately; manage its product transitions, inventory levels and manufacturing process efficiently; distribute its products quickly in response to customer demand; differentiate its products from those of its competitors or compete successfully in the markets for its new products.

 

The Company depends on many third-party suppliers for key components contained in its product offerings. For some of these components, the Company may only use a single source supplier, in part due to the lack of alternative sources of supply. During the three months ended June 30, 2021, the Company had one supplier that provided 99% of the Company’s purchased inventory. During the three months ended June 30, 2020, the Company had one supplier that provided 98% of the Company’s purchased inventory.

 

(9) INCOME TAXES

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, we recorded no income tax benefits for the net operating losses incurred or for the research and development tax credits generated due to the uncertainty of realizing a benefit from those items.

 

We have evaluated the positive and negative evidence bearing upon the Company’s ability to realize its deferred tax assets, which primarily consist of net operating loss carryforwards and research and development tax credits. We considered the history of cumulative net losses, estimated future taxable income and prudent and feasible tax planning strategies and we have concluded that it is more likely than not that we will not realize the benefits of our deferred tax assets. As a result, as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, we recorded a full valuation allowance against our net deferred tax assets.

 

As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company had federal net operating loss carry-forwards of approximately $64 million and $61.8 million, respectively, which are available to offset future taxable income. They are due to expire in varying amounts starting in 2021. Federal net operating losses occurring after December 31, 2017, of approximated $15.9 million may be carried forward indefinitely. As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company had state net operating loss carry-forwards of approximately $21 million and $19.2 million, respectively, which are available to offset future taxable income. They are due to expire in varying amounts from 2032 through 2040. A valuation allowance has been established for the full amount of deferred income tax assets as management has concluded that it is more-likely than-not that the benefits from such assets will not be realized. We recorded minimum state income taxes and tax related to our operations in Mexico. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 income tax expense was $31 thousand and $33 thousand, respectively, compared to prior year periods of $6 thousand and $13 thousand.

(10) EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE

 

Basic earnings (loss) per share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares. Diluted earnings (loss) per share reflects additional common shares that would have been outstanding if dilutive potential shares of Common Stock had been issued. Potential shares of Common Stock that may be issued by the Company include shares of Common Stock that may be issued upon exercise of outstanding stock options. Under the treasury stock method, the unexercised options are assumed to be exercised at the beginning of the period or at issuance, if later. The assumed proceeds are then used to purchase shares of Common Stock at the average market price during the period.

 

Net loss per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, are as follows:

 

   June 30, 2021   June 30, 2020   June 30, 2021   June 30, 2020

A proposal on the amendment to our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation was considered but not approved by the stockholders of the Company at its 2021 Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on June 2, 2021. The voting results of this proposal reflected a tabulation report that treated the proposal as “routine” however, the Company’s proxy materials for the 2021 Annual Meeting of Stockholders described the proposal as “non-routine.” When tabulated as a non-routine matter, this proposal was not approved by the Company’s stockholders. Certain shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by executive officers and directors of the Company who had been stockholders of Zoom Connectivity, inadvertently were not voted at the meeting. If those votes had been cast at the meeting and were voted for the proposal, the proposal would have been approved by the requisite vote of the Company’s stockholders. See Note (6), Commitments and Contingencies in these Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited).

Overview

 

Minim delivers a comprehensive WiFi as a Service platform to make everyone’s connected home safe and supportive for life and work.

 

We believe the home router must go the way of the mobile phone. Today’s routers are simple, single-purpose devices that rarely receive firmware updates and have underdeveloped management applications, making them the #1 target in residential cybersecurity attacks. It can be so much more.

 

The router must offer frequent security updates, helpful apps, extensive personalization options and a delightful interface. That is what Minim delivers— not just the router or just an app, but WiFi as a Service. Technically, it’s composed of an intelligent router managed by a smart operating system that leverages cloud computing and AI to analyze and optimize the smart home, combined with intuitive applications to engage with it.

 

Minim serves both consumers and businesses with its WiFi as a Service platform:

Consumers – Home broadband users can find our modem, router, modem/router, mesh WiFi, and MoCA networking products and mobile app under the Motorola brand on leading electronics retailers and e-commerce platforms in the U.S. and globally. With Motorola connectivity, our customers benefit from:

 

oSavings on rental fees from their ISPs
oImproved connected device performance

Internet Service Providers (ISPs) - Over 140 ISP customers to date have selected Minim to enhance their broadband services with our mobile app and improve customer support via the Minim Care Portal. ISP customers benefit from increased revenue through service plan upgrades and better subscriber retention, as well as decreased operational expenses through truck roll avoidance and reduced support calls.

 

Hybrid & Small Businesses have selected Minim as an alternative to traditional enterprise security solutions, granting the business customer extensive cost savings, fast deployment times, and easy maintenance.

 

Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) can freely and independently integrate the Minim agent in their networking devices. OEM customers benefit from increased competitiveness of their product offering and a recurring revenue stream with our software services. Our system integrator and OEM customers sell our products under their brand or incorporate our products as a component of their systems.

 

Our intelligent networking products can now be found in leading retailers across the US, over 140 ISP broadband offerings globally, and now in India e-commerce markets. We have been recently awarded a patent for an intuitive, guided, and standard approach to mesh WiFi system setup. Our products are differentiated by their ability to make complex network security and management simple, even enjoyable.

 

For the past three quarters, the company has posted exceptional year-over-year margin expansion and revenue growth; in the second quarter 2021, Minim doubled the topline growth rate of its product category in US retailers, per NPD Group retail data. On the horizon, we see margin expansion and growth opportunities in subscription software, new markets, new channels, and new product categories, such as connected security cameras and thermostats.

 

The global smart home market is expected to reach $313.95 billion by 2026 at a 25.3% CAGR, according to Mordor Intelligence. Looking ahead, we are aligned on a powerful imperative: to make the world’s smartest connectivity products accessible to everyone for personal and business use.

COVID-19 Pandemic

 

We are subject to risks and uncertainties as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. The extent of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business remains highly uncertain and difficult to predict as coronavirus continues to spread around the world including through new variants. Although the availability of vaccines has increased, there are no assurances as to when the pandemic will be contained. Since March 2020, we have instituted office closures, travel restrictions and a mandatory work-from-home policy for substantially all of our employees. The spread of COVID-19 has had a prolonged impact on our supply chain operations due to restrictions, reduced capacity and limited availability from suppliers whom we rely on for sourcing components and materials and from third-party partners whom we rely on for manufacturing, warehousing and logistics services. Although demand for our products has been strong in the short-term as consumers seek more bandwidth and better Wi-Fi, customers’ purchasing decisions over the long-term may be impacted by the pandemic and its impact on the economy, which could in turn impact our revenue and results of operations. Furthermore, our supply chain continues to face constraints primarily due to challenges in sourcing components and materials for our products. The prolonged impact of COVID-19 could exacerbate these constraints or cause further supply chain disruptions.

 

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

Our financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. These accounting principles require us to make certain estimates and judgments that can affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements as well as the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the periods presented. Management bases its estimates, assumptions and judgments on historical experience and on various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. To the extent there are material differences between these estimates and actual results, our financial statements may be affected. Our management evaluates its estimates, assumptions and judgments on an ongoing basis.

 

Our critical accounting policies and estimates, which are revenue recognition, sales allowances, and inventory valuation, are described under “Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates” in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020. For the six months ended June 30, 2021, there have been no significant changes in our critical accounting policies and estimates.

 

Recent Accounting Standards

 

See Note 2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, in Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 1 of Part 1 of this Report on 10-Q, for a full description of recent accounting standards, include the expected dates of adoption and estimated effects on the financial condition and results of operations, which are hereby incorporated by reference.

Net Sales. Our total net sales increased in the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to prior years by $4.6 million and $7.7 million, respectively. The growth in net sales is directly attributable to increased sales of Motorola branded cable modems and gateways. In the first six months of 2021, we primarily generated our sales by selling cable modems and gateways. Software sales related to SaaS offerings were $0.2 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2021. The Company had no SaaS related sales in the three months ended and six months ended June 30, 2020. The increase in other category compared to prior year is primarily due to an increase in mesh home networking devices.

As shown in the table below, our net sales in North America increased in the three months ended and six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to prior years. Net sales outside North America decreased in the three months ended and six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to prior years. Generally, the Company’s lower sales outside North America reflect the fact that cable modems are sold successfully through retailers in the United States but not in most countries outside the United States, due primarily to variations in government regulations.

Relatively few companies account for a substantial portion of the Company’s revenues. In the three months ended June 30, 2021, three companies accounted for 10% or greater individually and 93% in the aggregate of the Company’s total net sales. In the three months ended June 30, 2020, three companies accounted for 10% or greater individually and 88% in the aggregate of the Company’s total net sales. In the six months ended June 30, 2021, two companies accounted for 10% or greater individually and 85% in the aggregate of the Company’s total net sales. In the six months ended June 30, 2020, three companies accounted for 10% or greater individually and 89% in the aggregate of the Company’s total net sales.

 

Our customers generally do not enter into long-term agreements obligating them to purchase our products. Because of our significant customer concentration, our net sales and operating income could fluctuate significantly due to changes in political or economic conditions or the loss of, reduction of business with, or less favorable terms for any of our significant customers. A reduction or delay in orders from any of our significant customers, or a delay or default in payment by any significant customer could materially harm our business, results of operation and liquidity.

 

Gross Profit. Gross profit was $4.5 million and $9.6 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively compared to prior years of $2.1 million and $5.2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively. Gross margin increased to 30.1% for the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared to $20.7% in the same period of the prior year. For the six months ended June 30, 2021, the gross margins were 32.0% compared to 23.5% in the same period of the prior year. The increase in gross margins was primarily due to reduction in tariffs and air freight costs of $1.9 million and $3.4 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively, compared to prior years.

 

Operating Expense. Total operating expense increased to $5.9 million and $11.6 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively, compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 of $3.6 million and $7.5 million, respectively. The table below illustrates the change in operating expense.

Selling and Marketing Expense. Selling and marketing expense increased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the prior year periods primarily due to an increase in Motorola royalty fees of $0.3 million and $0.6 million, respectively, and employee compensation of $0.5 million and $1.0 million, respectively.

 

General and Administrative Expense. General and administrative expense increased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the prior year periods primarily due to an increase in professional services of $0.4 million, and an increase in professional services of $0.9 million, respectively.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

The Company’s cash balance on June 30, 2021 was $1.6 million of which $750 thousand was restricted. This compares to $1.6 million on December 31, 2020 of which $800 thousand was restricted. As of June 30, 2021, the Company had $7.2 million outstanding and $2.8 million available on its asset-based credit line with Silicon Valley Bank and working capital of $5.7 million.

 

On February 4, 2021, the Company amended its Financing Agreement with Rosenthal & Rosenthal, Inc. The amendment increased the size of the revolving credit line from $4.0 million to $5.0 million effective the date of the amendment.

 

On March 12, 2021, the Company terminated its Financing Agreement with Rosenthal & Rosenthal, Inc. and entered into the Silicon Valley Bank (“SVB Loan Agreement”). The SVB Loan Agreement provides for a revolving facility up to a principal amount of $12.0 million. The SVB Loan Agreement matures, and all outstanding amounts become due and payable on March 12, 2023. The SVB Loan Agreement is secured by substantially all the Company’s assets but excludes the Company’s intellectual property. The availability of borrowings under the SVB Loan Agreement is subject to certain conditions and requirements, and the borrowing base amount is up to (a) 85% of eligible accounts receivable balances plus (b) the least of (i) 60% of eligible inventory, (ii) 85% of net orderly liquidation value, and (iii) $4.8 million. In conjunction with the SVB Loan Agreement, the Company secured a $1.0 million commercial credit card line.

 

On July 28, 2021, the Company entered into an underwriting agreement with B. Riley Securities, Inc., as representative (the “Representative”) of the several underwriters named therein (collectively, the “Underwriters”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue and sell an aggregate of 10,000,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock, to the Underwriters. The shares of Common Stock were sold to the public at an offering price of $2.50 per share and were purchased by the Underwriters from the Company at a price of $2.32715 per share. The Company also granted the Underwriters a 30-day option to purchase up to an additional 1,500,000 shares of Common Stock (the “Option Shares”). On August 2, 2021, the Company received $22.7 million in aggregate net proceeds after deducting Underwriters’ discounts, commissions, and other offering expenses after issuing 10,000,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock through the Public Offering.

ITEM 3.QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

 

We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and are not required to provide the information under this Item.

 

ITEM 4.CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports pursuant to the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, as ours are designed to do, and management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

 

In connection with the preparation of this Quarterly Report on the Form 10-Q, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act as of March 31, 2020. Based upon that evaluation and other than as disclosed herein, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report.

 

During our preparation of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, we identified a material weakness with tracking and timely recording of in-transit inventory where title had been transferred to the Company. This material weakness could result in the Company under-reporting its inventory and current liabilities. The Company’s logistics firm had not provided title transfer dates to the Company for in-transit inventory. The material weakness only impacted the consolidated balance sheet, other than stockholders’ equity, as of December 31, 2020, resulting in equal increases in the Company’s inventory and current liabilities, and did not impact the consolidated statements of operations.

 

To remediate the material weakness described above, the Company instituted a process, which includes requiring the Company’s logistics firm to provide title transfer dates to the Company for in-transit inventory. The Company will timely record inventory and related liabilities based on the title transfer date, and a member of the finance department will review the Company records for completeness and accuracy. The material weakness will not be considered remediated until the applicable remedial controls operate for a sufficient period of time and management has concluded, through testing, that these controls are operating effectively. We expect that the remediation of this material weakness will be completed before the end of 2021.

 

Other than as disclosed herein, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2021 that have affected, or are reasonably likely to affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

 

ITEM 1.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

 

On February 16, 2021, the Company received a letter from a law firm representing a purported stockholder of the Company requesting the opportunity to review certain books and records of the Company to investigate the possibility of breaches of fiduciary duty by current and former members of the Board of Directors and the Company’s controlling stockholder in connection with his and his affiliates’ acquisition of majority control of the Company without compensating the Company’s minority stockholders and the acquisition by merger of Zoom Connectivity in which he held a substantial equity stake. The parties have been in negotiations with the counsel for the purported stockholder to resolve this matter. The Company believes that the resolution of this matter is likely to include the imposition of certain corporate governance restrictions, which would expand on current practices of the Company over a longer period of time than the standstill agreement currently in effect with the Company’s controlling stockholder, on the Company and the controlling stockholder and his affiliates and the payment of legal expenses. The matter is under negotiation and is subject to change based upon the negotiations and any other factors that may arise. There can be no assurance that this matter will be resolved on satisfactory terms.

 

On June 29, 2021, the Company received a letter from a law firm representing a purported stockholder of the Company making a litigation demand on behalf of the Company and its stockholders to address certain alleged misconduct by the Company’s Board of Directors in connection with the implementation of an amendment to the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation without having received proper stockholder approval thereof as required under Delaware corporation law. The letter demanded that the Board of Directors take immediate action to: deem the amendment ineffective and make appropriate disclosure of that fact and seek a valid stockholder approval of the amendment; and adopt and implement adequate internal controls and systems at the Company designed to prohibit and prevent a recurrence of the circumstances. The letter requested a response or contact with the law firm on or before July 16, 2021. On June 30, 2021, the Company filed with the Delaware Secretary of State a Certificate of Correction to void the previously filed amendment to the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation. The Company filed an amendment to a Current Report on Form 8-K to disclose these matters. The Company held a special meeting of stockholders on July 22, 2021 and received the requisite stockholder approval of the amendment. On July 23, 2021, the Company filed with the Delaware Secretary of State an amendment to the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of capital stock to 62,000,000 shares, consisting of 60,000,000 shares of Common Stock and 2,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock. The Company filed a Current Report on Form 8-K to disclose these matters. It is also expected that the Nominating and Governance Committee of the Board of Directors will review the Company’s internal controls and systems and the circumstances described in the demand letter to determine if any additional actions are necessary to prevent the recurrence of the circumstances relating to the foregoing events. The Company anticipates that the law firm that sent the demand letter will seek recovery of attorneys’ fees relating to this matter. The ultimate amount of any such recovery could be material but is not presently ascertainable. The Company intends vigorously to defend against any such claim for recovery of legal fees. There can be no assurance that this matter will be resolved on satisfactory terms.

 

In the ordinary course of business, in addition to the matters described above, the Company is subject to lawsuits, arbitrations, claims, and other legal proceedings in connection with its business. Some of such additional proceedings include claims for substantial or unspecified compensatory and/or punitive damages. A substantial adverse judgment or other unfavorable resolution of such matters could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows. Management believes that the Company has adequate legal defenses with respect to such additional legal proceedings to which it is a defendant or respondent and that the outcome of such proceedings is not likely to have a material adverse effect on the financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows of the Company. However, the Company is unable to predict the outcome of these matters.
