RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

 

Adoption of New Accounting Pronouncement in Fiscal 2019

 

In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-10 Leases (Topic 842), Codification Improvements and ASU 2018-11 Leases (Topic 842), Targeted Improvements, to provide additional guidance for the adoption of Topic 842. ASU 2018-10 clarifies certain provisions and correct unintended applications of the guidance such as the application of implicit rate, lessee reassessment of lease classification, and certain transition adjustments that should be recognized to earnings rather than to stockholders’ equity. ASU 2018-11 provides an alternative transition method and practical expedient for separating contract components for the adoption of Topic 842. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02 Leases (Topic 842) which requires an entity to recognize assets and liabilities arising from a lease for both financing and operating leases with terms greater than 12 months. ASU 2018-11, ASU 2018-10, and ASU 2016-02 (collectively, “the new lease standards”) are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. We adopted the standard on January 1, 2019 by applying the new lease requirements utilizing the Effective Date Method for all leases with terms greater than 12 months. We elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance within the new standard, which included carrying forward historical assessments of: (1) whether contracts are or contain leases, (2) lease classification and (3) initial direct costs. The adoption of this standard resulted in the recognition of right-of-use assets of $238 thousand and additional lease liabilities of $238 thousand as of January 1, 2019. The adoption of the standard did not have a material impact on our operating results or cash flows.

 

In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-09, Codification Improvements. The amendments in ASU 2018-09 affect a wide variety of Topics in the FASB Codification and apply to all reporting entities within the scope of the affected accounting guidance. The Company has evaluated ASU 2018-09 in its entirety and determined that the amendments related to Topic 718-740, Compensation-Stock Compensation-Income Taxes, are the only provisions that currently apply to the Company. The amendments in ASU 2018-09 related to Topic 718-740, Compensation-Stock Compensation-Income Taxes, clarify that an entity should recognize excess tax benefits related to stock compensation transactions in the period in which the amount of the deduction is determined. The amendments in ASU 2018-09 related to Topic 718-740 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of the new standard did not have a current impact on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

 

In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting, to expand the scope of Topic 718 to include share-based payment transactions for acquiring goods and services from nonemployees and supersedes the guidance in Subtopic 505-50, Equity - Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees. Under ASU 2018-07, equity-classified nonemployee share-based payment awards are measured at the grant date fair value on the grant date. The probability of satisfying performance conditions must be considered for equity-classified nonemployee share-based payment awards with such conditions. ASU 2018-07 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of the new standard did not have a current impact on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the period ended September 30, 2019.

The Company has evaluated other recent pronouncements and believes that none of them will have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

 

GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS

 

Intangible assets are stated at cost, net of accumulated amortization. The assets are being amortized on the straight-line method over useful lives ranging from 3 to 11 years. Amortization expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and September 30, 2018 was $1.5 million and $1.3 million, respectively.

NET LOSS PER COMMON SHARE

 

Net loss per share is provided in accordance with FASB ASC 260-10, “Earnings per Share.” Basic net loss per common share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average shares outstanding, assuming all dilutive potential common shares were issued, unless doing so is anti-dilutive. The weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for computing basic EPS for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 were 77,312,948 and 42,592,783, respectively. Diluted net loss per share of common stock is the same as basic net loss per share of common stock because the effects of potentially dilutive securities are antidilutive.

 

Dilutive securities are excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share because such securities have anti-dilutive impact due to losses reported.

 

The following table sets forth the potentially dilutive securities excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share because such securities have an anti-dilutive impact due to losses reported, as of September 30:

 

   2019   2018 
Options to purchase common stock   12,581,000    13,781,000 
Convertible preferred stock   4,828,530    4,828,530 
Warrants to purchase common stock   4,500,000    4,700,000

Potential shares excluded from diluted net loss per share   21,909,530    22,802,451

Reclassifications and adjustments — Certain prior year amounts in the condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been reclassified to conform with current year presentation. The impact of the reclassifications made to prior year amounts is not material and did not affect net loss.

 

NOTE 2 – GOING CONCERN

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As of September 30, 2019, the Company had a working capital deficit of $17.2 million and an accumulated deficit of $42.2 million. The Company’s continuation as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to generate sufficient cash flow to meet its obligations on a timely basis. Management’s plan to eliminate the going concern situation includes, but is not limited to, the continuation of improving cash flow, maintaining moderate cost reductions (subsequent to aggressive cost reduction actions already taken in 2018 and in the first nine months of 2019), the creation of additional sales and profits across its product lines, and the obtaining of sufficient financing to restructure current debt in a manner more in line with the Company’s improving cash flow and cost reduction successes.

 

The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

In connection with the acquisition of Bar Code Specialties, Inc. (“BCS”), a California corporation, the Company assumed a related party note payable to the former CTO of the RFID division of BCS. The note is payable in equal monthly installments of $5 thousand beginning October 31, 2014 and ended October 2018. The loan bears interest at 1.84% and is unsecured and subordinated to the Company’s bank debt. The balance on this loan at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 was $130 thousand, all of which was classified as long-term. In July 2016, the holder of the note signed a subordination agreement with the Supplier of the Secured Promissory Note and Action Capital, whereby the noteholder agrees to subordinate its right to payment of capital and interest until the Supplier with the Secured Promissory Note is reimbursed in full, therefore, the note is classified as long-term.

 

On July 18, 2016, the Company and the Supplier entered into a certain Secured Promissory Note, with an effective date of July 1, 2016, in the principal amount of $12.5 million. The USD Note accrues interest at 12% per annum and is payable in six consecutive monthly installments of principal and accrued interest in a minimum principal amount of $250 thousand each, with any remaining principal and accrued interest due and payable on December 31, 2016.

 

  On September 7, 2018, the Company entered into a Sixth Amendment to the secured Promissory Note (the “Sixth Amendment”) extending the maturity date to January 31, 2019. The Sixth Amendment also increases the principal amount to $8.7 million, an increase of $6.8 million, by rolling the Company’s then existing and outstanding accounts payable into the note by the previously mentioned amount of increase. The Company will continue to make monthly payments in the amount of $300 thousand for the first three monthly payments, and also in the amount of $500 thousand for the last two monthly payments prior to the note’s maturity.
     
  On April 30, 2019, the Company entered into a Seventh Amendment to the secured Promissory Note (the “Seventh Amendment”) extending the maturity date to July 31, 2019. The Seventh Amendment also provides that the Company will continue to make monthly installments of principal and accrued interest in a minimum principal amount of $350 thousand each. The Company has made partial payments towards the required monthly installments under the terms of the Seventh Amendment. As has been the case with each previous amendment, the Company is in continual negotiations with the holder of the Secured Promissory Note to extend the maturity date and establish a new schedule of payments.

Note payable – debt restructure Marin

 

On February 28, 2018, the Company finalized two settlement agreements with David and Kathy Marin (the “Marin Settlement Agreements”) which have an effective date of December 30, 2017. Pursuant to the first Marin Settlement Agreement (the “Marin Settlement Agreement I”), the Company and the Marins agreed to reduce the Company’s purchase price for all of the capital stock of Bar Code Specialties, Inc., which was acquired by the Company from the Marins in November 2014. In the 2014 acquisition, the Company had issued David Marin a promissory note for $11.0 million of which an aggregate of $10.7 million (the “Owed Amount”) was outstanding as of February 26, 2018 which includes accrued interest earned but not paid.

As a result, the balance on this loan and related accrued interest at December 31, 2018 were all classified as long term, being due in 2023. As of September 30, 2019, the balance of this loan was $940 thousand.

Note payable – debt restructure Zicman

 

On February 28, 2018, the Company finalized a settlement agreement with George Zicman whereby the Company settled its indebtedness to Mr. Zicman in the amount of $1.3 million in full in exchange for 60 monthly payments of $3 thousand each commencing the earlier of (i) October 26, 2018 or (ii) the date when the Company’s obligation under its promissory note with Scansource, Inc. is satisfied and all amounts currently due under the credit agreement with Scansource (currently approximately $6.0 million) is reduced to $2.0 million. In addition, the Company issued Mr. Zicman an aggregate of 100,000 shares of common stock and 600,000 shares of Series C Preferred Stock with the same rights and restrictions as described above in the description of the Marin Settlement Agreement II. The effective date of the agreement is December 30, 2017. As of September 30, 2019, the balance of this loan was $144 thousand.

Convertible note payable - shareholders

 

On October 5, 2018, the Company entered into a purchase agreement with Walefar Investments, Ltd. (“Walefar”) and Campbeltown Consulting, Inc. (“Campbeltown”) (Walefar and Campbeltown are collectively referred to as the “Sellers”). Pursuant to the agreement, the Company purchased 100% of the capital stock of HTS Image Processing, Inc. (“HTS”) from the Sellers. As consideration, the Company (i) issued to the Sellers 22,452,954 shares of the Company’s common stock, having a value of $5.3 million based on the average closing price of the common stock for the 20 days’ preceding the agreement (the “Per Share Value”), (ii) cash in the amount of $300 thousand, and (iii) a 12 month convertible promissory note with a principal amount of $700 thousand and an interest rate of six percent (6%) per year. The note also provides the Sellers the right to convert all or any portion of the then outstanding and unpaid principal amount and interest into fully paid and non-assessable shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price of $0.236. The agreement constitutes a “related party transaction” because of Company director Shai Lustgarten’s position as Chief Executive Officer of HTS and stock ownership in HTS. Additionally, Campbeltown is a “related party” because Carlos Jaime Nissenson, the beneficial owner of Campbeltown, is a consultant to the Company, a principal stockholder of the Company, and father of Company director and newly appointed CFO Neev Nissenson. Carlos Jaime Nissenson was also a stockholder and director of HTS. Pursuant to the agreement, Shai Lustgarten received 11,226,477 shares of the Company’s common stock and Carlos Jaime Nissenson received 11,226,477 shares of the Company’s common stock.

On May 29, 2019, the Company, Campbeltown and Walefar entered into an Amendment to the HTS Purchase Agreement (the “Amendment”), which provided for an adjustment to the number of shares of common stock issued to Walefar and Campbeltown in the acquisition of HTS. Pursuant to the Amendment, Campbeltown and Walefar agreed to return for cancelation 5,542,328 and 5,542,329 shares of common stock, respectively. This Amendment reduced the amount of shares issued in the acquisition to 11,368,297 shares from 22,452,954 shares and the amount of share consideration to approximately $2.7 million from $5.3 million. This adjustment was made as a result of a correction in the calculation of working capital and other share give back provisions of the HTS Purchase Agreement. As a result of the Offering (see Note 9), $400 thousand of the notes outstanding were converted to common stock. As of September 30, 2019, the remaining principal amount of $150 thousand is owed to each Walefar and Campbeltown respectively ($300 thousand total) under the note issued to them as partial consideration in the sale of HTS to the Company on October 5, 2018.

 

On September 30, 2019, and in accordance with the terms of the Convertible Promissory Note, Walefar and Campbeltown each exercised the right to convert $75 thousand in unpaid principal balance into fully paid and non-assessable shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price of $0.236. Accordingly, the Company issued 317,796 shares to each of Walefar and Campbeltown.

 

Note payable – RWCC

 

The company acquired the Note Payable – RWCC (“RWCC Note”)(f.k.a. Certus) with the acquisition of HTS. The RWCC Note was a non-interest-bearing note. The RWCC Note was historically discounted using an effective interest rate of 5.0%. The outstanding balance of $665 thousand is classified as short term and is due and payable in April 2020 with monthly payment of approximately $85,000 per month. The RWCC Note is classified as a related party note because the Chief Executive Officer of RWCC is the son of a significant shareholder of the Company and a sibling of a member of the Board of Directors.

NOTE 9 – STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

 

PRIVATE PLACEMENT

 

On April 4, 2019, the Company entered into a form of Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”) with accredited investors. Pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, on April 9, 2019 (the Closing Date”), the Company sold an aggregate gross proceeds of $5 million of units (the “Units”) before deducting placement agent fees, consultant and legal fees and other offering expenses (the “Offering”). The per Unit purchase price was $0.30.

 

Each Unit is comprised of one share of the Company’s common stock, $0.001 par value per share, and a warrant to purchase one share of common stock, and, as a result of the Offering, the Company issued 16,666,667 shares of common Stock (the “Shares”) and warrants (the “Warrants”) to purchase 16,666,667 shares of Common Stock (the “Warrant Shares”) at an exercise price equal to $0.35 per Warrant Share, which Warrants are exercisable for a period of five and one-half years from the issuance date.

 

Both Shai Lustgarten, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, and Carlos J. Nissensohn, a consultant to and principal stockholder of the Company, participated in the Offering by converting $200 thousand each of unpaid principal, owed to them by the Company, in exchange for Shares and Warrants on the same terms as all other Purchasers.

 

ThinkEquity, a division of Fordham Financial Management, Inc. (the “Placement Agent”), acted as the sole placement agent for the Offering. In connection with the Offering, the Company entered into a Placement Agency Agreement with the Placement Agent, pursuant to which it paid the Placement Agent $400 thousand (eight percent of the gross proceeds) in commissions and reimbursed it for $160 thousand of expenses incurred in connection with the Offering plus other miscellaneous expenses. The Company also issued the Placement Agent a warrant (the “Placement Agent Warrant”) to purchase 1,166,667 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Placement Agent Warrant Shares”) at an exercise price of $0.35 per share. The Placement Agent Warrant terminates five and one-half years from the Closing Date.

 

The Company paid additional legal and other fees directly related to the Offering. The cash fees paid were netted against the Offering proceeds, as follows:

 

(In thousands)    
Total proceeds from issuance of Common Stock and Warrants  $5,000 
Conversion of notes payable – related parties   (400)
Placement Agent commission and fees   (560)
Legal and other fees   (103)
     Net cash received from private placement  $3,937 
Accrued private placement consulting fees   200 
Placement fees prepaid in earlier period   (78)
     Equity issued net of non-cash placement fees  $4,059 

 

The fair value of the Warrants issued to the Placement Agent and Consultant are included in the Warrants Paid in Capital account in stockholder’s equity. In conjunction with the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company accrued $200 thousand in private placement consulting fees. The company incurred $78 thousand of private placement fees prepaid in a prior period.

 

Allocation of Proceeds

 

The Company followed the relative fair value method - the instrument being analyzed is allocated a portion of the proceeds based on the proportion of its fair value to the sum of the fair values of all the instruments covered in the allocation – in allocating the Offering Proceeds between the Shares and the Warrants. As there is currently no independent market for the Warrants, the Company estimated their fair value using a Black Sholes model which uses certain assumptions related to risk-free interest rates, expected volatility, expected life of the stock options or warrants, and future dividends. The allocation is as follows:

 

       Percent of total 
Estimated fair value of warrants  $6,278,452    48.5%
Value of common stock  $6,666,667    51.5%
Total estimated fair value  $12,945,119    100.0%
           
Pro rata fair value of warrants  $2,425,027    48.5%
Pro rata fair value of common stock  $2,574,973    51.5%
Total proceeds  $5,000,000    100.0%

2014 Stock Option Plan

 

On November 17, 2014, the Board adopted a stock option plan (the “2014 Plan”) whereby the Board may grant to directors, officers, employees, or consultants of the Company options to acquire common shares. The Board has the authority to determine the terms, limits, restrictions and conditions of the grant of options, to interpret the plan and make all decisions relating thereto. The 2014 Plan was adopted in order to provide an inducement and serve as a long term incentive program. The maximum number of common shares that may be reserved for issuance was set at ten million (10,000,000).

 

The option exercise price is established by the Board and may not be lower than the market price of the common shares at the time of grant. The options may be exercised during the option period determined by the Board, which may vary, but will not exceed ten years from the date of the grant.

 

2018 Stock Option Plan

 

On March 8, 2018, the Company adopted a stock option plan (the “2018 Plan”) as an incentive, to retain in the employ of and as directors, officers, consultants, advisors and employees to the Company. On October 31, 2018, the Board amended the Plan to increase the amount of shares authorized for issuance thereunder from ten million (10,000,000) to sixteen million (16,000,000) shares of the Corporation’s common stock, par value $0.001 (the “Shares”). On January 23, 2019, the Company’s shareholders adopted and ratified the Plan.

 

As at September 30, 2019, the Company had issued options under the 2018 Plan allowing for the subscription of 14,390,000 shares of its common stock, with 60,000 shares remaining for issuance.

Stock compensation expense is $1.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and $1.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. The fair value of the Company’s stock option and warrant grants are estimated using the Black-Scholes-Merton Option Pricing model, which uses certain assumptions related to risk-free interest rates, expected volatility, expected life of the stock options or warrants, and future dividends. Compensation expense is recorded based upon the value derived from the Black-Scholes-Merton Option Pricing model, and based on actual experience. The assumptions used in the Black-Scholes-Merton Option Pricing model could materially affect compensation expense recorded in future periods.

NOTE 12 – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

 

Related party transactions are discussed in Note 8.

 

NOTE 13 – LEASES

 

The Company accounts for leases in accordance with ASC Topic 842, “Leases,” which requires lessees to recognize a right-of-use asset and lease liability on the balance sheet and expands disclosures about leasing arrangements for both lessees and lessors, among other items, for most lease arrangements.

 

In accordance with the adoption of ASC 842 on January 1, 2019, we recorded operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets, which represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term, and operating lease liabilities which represent our obligation to make lease payments. Generally, we enter into operating lease agreements for facilities. Finance lease assets are recorded within property and equipment, net of accumulated depreciation. The amount of operating lease liabilities due within 12 months are recorded in other current liabilities, with the remaining operating lease liabilities recorded as non-current liabilities in our consolidated balance sheet based on their contractual due dates. Finance lease liabilities are classified according to contractual due dates.

 

The operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized as of the lease commencement date at the present value of the lease payments over the lease term. Most of our leases do not provide an implicit rate that can readily be determined. Therefore, we use a discount rate based on our incremental borrowing rate which was between 13.16% and 15.06% for all operating leases. Our operating lease agreements may include options to extend the lease term or terminate it early. We have included options to extend in the operating lease ROU assets and liabilities when we are reasonably certain that we will exercise such options. The weighted average remaining lease terms and discount rates for our operating leases were approximately 2.15 years and 14.6% at September 30, 2019. We did not have finance leases at September 30, 2019. Operating lease expense is recognized as rent expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. We evaluate ROU assets for impairment consistent with our property and equipment policy disclosure included in our 2018 Form 10-K.

 

As of September 30, 2019, operating lease ROU assets were $168 thousand and operating lease liabilities were $164 thousand, of which $70 thousand were classified as noncurrent.

 

Future minimum lease commitments at September 30, 2019 were as follows:

 

Year ending December 31,  Operating Leases

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

PRELIMINARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements. The reader should understand that several factors govern whether any forward-looking statement contained herein will be or can be achieved. Any one of those factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected herein. These forward-looking statements include plans and objectives of management for future operations, including plans and objectives relating to the products and the future economic performance of the Company. Assumptions relating to the foregoing involve judgments with respect to, among other things, future economic, competitive and market conditions, future business decisions, and the time and money required to successfully complete development projects, all of which are difficult or impossible to predict accurately and many of which are beyond the control of the Company. Although the Company believes that the assumptions underlying the forward-looking statements contained herein are reasonable, any of those assumptions could prove inaccurate and, therefore, there can be no assurance that the results contemplated in any of the forward-looking statements contained herein will be realized. Based on actual experience and business development, the Company may alter its marketing, capital expenditure plans or other budgets, which may in turn affect the Company’s results of operations. In light of the significant uncertainties inherent in the forward-looking statements included therein, the inclusion of any such statement should not be regarded as a representation by the Company or any other person that the objectives or plans of the Company will be achieved.

 

A complete discussion of these uncertainties are contained in our Annual Financial Statements included in the Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 5, 2019.

On October 5, 2018, the Company entered into a purchase agreement with Walefar and Campbeltown (the “HTS Purchase Agreement”) (Walefar and Campbeltown are collectively referred to as the “Sellers”). Pursuant to the HTS Purchase Agreement, the Company purchased 100% of the capital stock of HTS Image Processing, Inc. (“HTS”) from the Sellers and consequently acquired HTS’s wholly owned subsidiaries HTS (USA), Inc. and HTS Image Ltd. (“HTS Ltd.”) (f/k/a Teamtronics Ltd.)

 

The following is a discussion of the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, financial resources, and working capital. This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the Company’s financial statements contained in this Form 10-Q.

 

OVERVIEW

 

On February 28, 2018, the Company finalized settlement agreements with related parties which have an effective date of December 30, 2017. As part of the settlement agreements, the Company authorized the issuance of 600,000 shares of common stock valued at $59 thousand, 1,685,000 shares of Preferred Stock valued at $0.80 per share and issued 3,000,000 stock warrants with an exercise price of $0.20. The total net amount of debt extinguished in these transactions was $15.4 million.

 

The Company’s sales from continuing operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, were $32.7 million, an increase of approximately $3.8 million, or 13.1% over the nine months ended September 30, 2018.

The loss from continuing operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was $2.6 million, a decrease of $1.7 million compared with the loss in the nine months ended September 30, 2018 of $4.3 million. Basic loss per share from continuing operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was ($0.04) versus ($0.11) per share for the same time period in 2018.

 

GOING CONCERN

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As of September 30, 2019, the Company had a working capital deficit of $17.2 million and an accumulated deficit of $42.2 million. The Company’s continuation as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to generate sufficient cash flow to meet its obligations on a timely basis. Management’s plan to eliminate the going concern situation includes, but is not limited to, the continuation of improving cash flow, maintaining moderate cost reductions (subsequent to aggressive cost reduction actions already taken in 2018 and continued in 2019), the creation of additional sales and profits across its product lines, and the obtaining of sufficient financing to restructure current debt in a manner more in line with the Company’s improving cash flow and cost reduction successes. The Company has also diversified its sourcing and procurement of materials and finished goods. The Company also completed a debt settlement with a related party in exchange for equity, eliminating future needs for cash in servicing debt.

 

With the acquisition of HTS in October 2018, the Company has in its portfolio of products a computer vision technology that is based on artificial intelligence and machine learning concepts. These solutions have a higher gross profit that will provide an increase in cash flow on a consolidated basis. The Company plans for these products to be a significant revenue source in 2019. Also with the acquisition of HTS, the Company acquired an operating facility with the ability for light manufacturing and assembling components. The Company can use HTS’s assembling facility to reduce the cost of goods and increase profit margins.

 

The matters that resulted in 2018, and a net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, which create substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, have been somewhat mitigated by the successful debt reduction settlements entered into 2018. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Revenues

 

For the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, the Company generated net revenues in the amount of $45.8 million and $42.4 million, respectively. For the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, the Company generated net revenues in the amount of $13.1 million and $13.4 million, respectively. The 2019 increase between the nine-month periods was attributable to strong performance of our sales team, as well as the inclusion of revenues from our acquired subsidiary, HTS Image Processing, Inc. for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2019.

 

Cost of Goods Sold

 

For the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, the Company recognized a total of $34.1 million and $33.7 million, respectively, of cost of goods sold. For the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, cost of goods sold were 74.4% and 79.5% of net revenues, respectively. For the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, the Company recognized a total of $9.6 million and $10.7 million, respectively, of cost of goods sold. For the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, cost of goods sold were 73.3% and 79.9% of net revenues, respectively. Variation from prior years is difficult in an ever increasing competitive industry. Due to this, the Company is continually reevaluating its current product mix and supply channels to improve margins in 2019.

Operating expenses

 

Total operating expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 recognized was $12.6 million and $10.6 million, respectively, representing an 18.1% increase. The increase is attributable to a corresponding increase in revenues as well as the inclusion of nine months of operating expenses from our acquired subsidiary, HTS Image Processing, Inc. Total operating expense for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 recognized was $4.2 million and $3.1 million, respectively, representing an increase of 37.1%.

 

General and Administrative – General and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 totaled $1.9 million and $1.7 million, respectively, representing a 12.7% increase. General and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 totaled $727 thousand and $687 thousand, respectively, representing a 6.0% increase. The increase in the first nine months of 2019 is attributed to the inclusion of nine months of general and administrative expenses for HTS.

 

Salary and benefits – Salary and employee benefits for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 totaled $7.8 million, including $1.1 million from non-cash stock-based compensation, as compared to $6.4 million including $1.1 million from non-cash stock based compensation for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. Excluding stock-based compensation, salaries increased by $1.3 million in the first nine months of 2019 compared to the first nine months of 2018, which increase is primarily attributed to the addition of HTS salaries. Salary and employee benefits for the three months ended September 30, 2019 totaled $2.7 million, including $670 thousand from non-cash stock-based compensation, as compared to $1.6 million including no non-cash stock based compensation for the three months ended September 30, 2018. Excluding stock-based compensation, salaries increased by $481 thousand in the three months ended September 30, 2019 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2018, which increase is primarily attributed to the addition of HTS salaries.

 

Professional Fees – Professional fees for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 were $1.2 million as compared to $1.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, representing no change. Professional fees for the three months ended September 30, 2019 were $268 thousand as compared to $363 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2018. The decrease is attributable to cost cutting measures.

 

Other income and expenses

 

Interest Expense - Interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 totaled $1.8 million, as compared to $963 thousand for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. Interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2019 totaled $618 thousand, as compared to $303 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2018. The increase is attributable to the addition of interest expense incurred by HTS as well as interest incurred in connection with the September 2018 amendment to the Scansource Note payable agreement in addition to interest expense incurred in connection with vendor interest agreements.

 

Net loss from continuing operations

 

The Company realized a net loss from continuing operations of $2.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, compared to a net loss of $4.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, a decrease of $1.7 million. The Company realized a net loss from continuing operations of $1.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019, compared to a net loss of $932 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2018, an increase of $511 thousand. The decrease in net loss between the nine-month periods is mainly attributable to the Company’s improvement of its gross margin percentage as well as the addition of high margin sales activities of HTS. The increase in net loss between the three-month periods is primarily attributable to larger than usual amounts of non-recurring stock based compensation in the three months ended September 30, 2019.

Liquidity and capital resources

 

As of September 30, 2019, the Company had cash in the amount of $2.5 million of which $533 thousand is on deposit and restricted as collateral for a letter of credit and a corporate purchasing card, and a working capital deficit of $17.2 million, compared to cash in the amount of $910 thousand, of which $532 thousand was restricted, and a working capital deficit of $20.5 million as at December 31, 2018. In addition, the Company had a stockholder’s equity of $5.0 million at September 30, 2019 and $2.3 million as of December 31, 2018.

 

The Company’s accumulated deficit was $42.2 million and $39.8 million at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.

 

The Company’s operations resulted in net cash provided of $4.9 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2019, compared to net cash provided of $263 thousand during the nine months ended September 30, 2018, an increase of $4.7 million. The changes in the non-cash working capital accounts are primarily attributable to a decrease in accounts receivable of $1.4 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2019, and an increase of $4.4 million in accounts payable during the nine months ended September 30, 2019.

 

Net cash used in investing activities was $270 thousand for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, compared to net cash provided of $29 thousand for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, a decrease of $299 thousand, primarily attributable to a large decrease in restricted cash during the nine months ended September 30, 2018.

 

The Company’s financing activities used net cash of $3.1 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2019, compared to net cash used of $29 thousand during the nine months ended September 30, 2018.

EVALUATION OF DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

The Company’s management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as that term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e)) as of September 30, 2019, the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

 

Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, (Principal Financial and Accounting Officer) concluded that, as of September 30, 2019, our disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective as of the end of the period covered to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. This was due to the following material weaknesses which are indicative of many small companies with limited staff: (i) inadequate segregation of duties and effective risk assessment; and (ii) insufficient written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting with respect to the requirements and application of both United States generally accepted accounting principles and Securities and Exchange Commission guidelines. Management anticipates that such disclosure controls and procedures will not be effective until the material weaknesses are remediated.

 

Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act are recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Principal Executive Officer, and Principal Financial and Accounting Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

During 2018, we identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, which were disclosed in our annual report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on June 5, 2019.
