ONE STOP SYSTEMS, INC. (OSS)

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For The Three Months Periods Ended March 31, 2019 and 2018

NOTE 1 – THE COMPANY AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Nature of Operations

One Stop Systems, Inc. (“we,” “our,” “OSS,” or the “Company”) was originally incorporated as a California corporation in 1999 after initially being formed as a California limited liability company in 1998. On December 14, 2017, the Company was reincorporated as a Delaware corporation in connection with its initial public offering.  The Company designs, manufactures and markets industrial grade computer systems and components that are based on industry standard computer architectures. The Company markets its products to manufacturers of automated equipment used for telecommunications, industrial and military applications.     

During the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company formed a new wholly-owned subsidiary in Germany (“OSS GmbH”).  During July 2016, the Company acquired Mission Technologies Group, Inc. (“Magma”) and its operations (Note 3).

In April 2017, the Company and a related entity formed a joint venture named SkyScale, LLC in the State of California (“SkyScale”).  In accordance with the Contribution Agreement, each member contributed $750,000 and received a 50% interest in the joint venture.  The purpose of SkyScale is to engage in the business of providing high performance computing capabilities as cloud services.

On December 31, 2018, as a result of changes in the competitive landscape and downward pressure on pricing from large competitors, the members to the SkyScale joint venture agreement agreed to dissolve SkyScale.  As a result, it became necessary for OSS to write-off the outstanding balances of accounts and notes receivable and interest in the amount of $648,411, which write-off was offset by receipt of equipment valued at $160,000 and allocation of income from disposition of assets and liabilities of $71,502.  These amounts have been included as an administrative expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.  Additional reserves for future expenses to be incurred in the process of closing SkyScale were recorded in the amount of $288,400 and are included in administrative expenses.  As a result of the above, total charges related to the dissolution of SkyScale were $705,309 during the year ended December 31, 2018.  

In May 2017, the Company entered into a Technology and Software License Agreement with Western Digital (“WDT”) for their Ion flash storage software.  The agreement provides the Company with the Ion source code and rights to develop and market derivative products.  The Company intends to develop and sell Ion flash storage software with its high-density storage arrays, as well as service existing WDT software users (Note 3).

Also, in July 2017, the Company entered in to a Service Agreement with WDT to service its existing customer base that utilizes Ion flash storage software.  The Company also purchased certain equipment from WDT and hired selected employees to assist in the servicing of these existing customers.  Management has determined that the activities and assets acquired from WDT comprise a business as defined in ASC 805-10-55-4 through 55.  Consideration paid by the Company to WDT pursuant to the arrangements described above was $67,000.  In addition, the Company is required to pay prospective royalties to WDT of $2,500 or $5,000 for each sale of the Company’s products that include licensed software.  WDT is obligated to pay the Company for services rendered to support existing WDT software users the amount of $1,400,000 in defined declining quarterly amounts over a three year period.  Management does not believe this business acquisition meets the significance definition provided in Regulation S-X, Rule 210.1-02(w).

On August 31, 2018, the Company acquired Concept Development Inc. (CDI) located in Irvine, California for cash of $646,759, and common stock valued at $4,194,673 (Note 3).  CDI specializes in the design and manufacture of custom high-performance computing systems for airborne in-flight entertainment systems.

 

10


On October 31, 2018, the Company’s wholly-owned German subsidiary, OSS GmbH, acquired 100% of the outstanding stock of Bressner Technology GmbH, a Germany limited liability company located near Munich, Germany, from its principal owners for cash consideration of €4,725,000 (US$5,374,582) and stock consideration of 106,463 newly-issued restricted shares of the Company’s common stock.

 

Going Concern Considerations

 

On February 1, 2018, the Company completed its initial public offering through the initial sale of 3,800,000 shares of common stock at a price to the public of $5.00 per share (see Note 8).  Proceeds from the sale were used to retire outstanding debt obligations, complete complimentary business acquisitions, and provide the Company with working capital.

 

The combination of continued revenue and gross profit growth, has resulted in growth of the organization as a whole, along with acquisitions of two companies, but has been offset by increased spending in all areas of operating expenses:  general & administrative, marketing & selling, along with research & development.  The Company is developing plans for cost containment, as well as debt and/or equity financing to ensure that liquidity will be sufficient to meet our cash requirements for current operations through at least a period of the next twelve months. As of March 20, 2019, the Company received funding commitments in the amount of $4,000,000 from members of the Board of Directors, of which $1,500,000 has been borrowed from multiple parties subsequent to March 31, 2019.

As a result, management believes that the Company has sufficient liquidity to satisfy its anticipated cash requirements for at least the next twelve months. However, there can be no assurance that our operations will become profitable or that external sources of financing, including the issuance of debt and/or equity securities, will be available at times and on terms acceptable to us, or at all.  The Company’s management prepares budgets and monitors the financial results of the Company as a tool to align liquidity needs to the recurring business requirements.     

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on an accrual basis of accounting in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“U.S. GAAP”), as set forth in the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”).  

The unaudited consolidated financial statements herein have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the United States Securities Exchange Commission (“SEC”).  The accompanying interim unaudited financial statements have been prepared under the presumption that users of the interim financial information have either read or have access to the audited consolidated financial statements for the latest year ended December 31, 2018.  Accordingly, note disclosures which would substantially duplicate the disclosures contained in the December 31, 2018 audited consolidated financial statements have been omitted from these interim unaudited consolidated financial statements.  The Company evaluated all subsequent events and transactions through the date of filing this report.

Certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.  Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2019, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2019.  For further information, refer to the audited consolidated financial statements and notes for the year ended December 31, 2018 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 21, 2019.

11


Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of OSS, which include the results from the Magma acquisition, Ion business combination, and acquisition of Concept Development Inc., since their respective dates of acquisition, its wholly-owned subsidiary, OSS GmbH, which includes the acquisition of Bressner Technology GmbH on October 31, 2018 and the accounts of the joint venture, SkyScale LLC (collectively referred to as the “Company”).  Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

On April 6, 2017, the Company and Jacoma Investments, LLC, an entity owned by our board member Jack Harrison, formed a joint venture, SkyScale, LLC (“SkyScale”), to engage in the business of providing high performance computing capabilities as cloud services.  In accordance with the terms of the contribution agreement, Jacoma Investments, LLC agreed to contribute $750,000 in capital and the Company agreed to contribute $750,000 in the form of credits to purchase equipment, personnel or support services from the Company.  Each party received a 50% membership interest in the joint venture.  Management determined that SkyScale is a variable interest entity primarily because it is thinly capitalized and may require additional capital to finance its activities.  

Management determined that the Company is the primary beneficiary of SkyScale based primarily on the related party nature of SkyScale’s decision-makers and daily business operators.  In May 2018, the Company loaned SkyScale $300,000 for operations at an interest rate of 12%, per annum.  On August 30, 2018, an additional one-year working capital loan of $300,000 was authorized on similar terms of which SkyScale utilized $150,000.  

On December 31, 2018, as a result of changes in the competitive landscape and downward pressure on pricing from large competitors, the members to the SkyScale joint venture agreement agreed to dissolve SkyScale.  As a result, it became necessary for the Company to write-off the outstanding balances due from SkyScale of notes receivable and interest in the amount of $478,599.  The Company also had unpaid invoices for services rendered to SkyScale in the amount of $169,812.  These amounts have been charged to administrative expenses and are included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements as an operating expense.  As partial consideration for unpaid balances, SkyScale transferred computer equipment to the Company at an estimated market value of $160,000, which is held-for-sale and included in prepaid expenses and other current assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.  The Company also received allocated income from disposition of SkyScale assets and liabilities of $71,502.  Additionally, accruals for future expenses to be incurred in the process of closing SkyScale were recorded in the amount of $288,400.   As a result of the above, total charges related to the dissolution of SkyScale were $705,309 during the year ended December 31, 2018.

The non-controlling interest attributable to SkyScale is shown as a component of equity on the consolidated balance sheets and the share of the loss attributable to the non-controlling interest is shown as a component of income (loss) in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.  Management determined that the dissolution of SkyScale did not represent a strategic shift that has a major effect on the Company’s operations and financial results.  Accordingly, it has not been reported as discontinued operations.

NOTE 2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and disclosures of contingent assets, liabilities, and expenses at the date of the consolidated financial statements during the reporting period.  

Significant estimates made by management include, among others, the fair value of acquired net assets of CDI in August 2018, and Bressner Technology GmbH in October 2018, dissolution expenses for SkyScale, the allowance for doubtful accounts, fair value of stock options, recoverability of inventories and long-lived assets, and realizability of deferred tax assets.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Concentration Risks

At times, deposits held with financial institutions may exceed the amount of insurance provided by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”), which provides basic deposit coverage with limits up to $250,000 per owner.  As of March 31, 2019, the Company had $65,446 in excess of the insurance limits.  The Company has not experienced any such losses in these accounts.  In Germany, the deposit insurance is €100,000 per bank, per customer.  As of March 31, 2019, Bressner has no funds on deposit with banks in excess of the insurance limits.

In the three month periods ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, our top three customers represent approximately 36%, and 54% of sales, respectively. As of March 31, 2019 and 2018, three customers accounted for 53% and  64% of net trade accounts receivables, respectively.

The Company made purchases from three suppliers which represented approximately 21% and 48% of purchases for the three month periods ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

13


Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on deposit and money market accounts.  The Company considers all highly liquid temporary cash investments with an initial maturity of three months or less when acquired to be cash equivalents.  Management believes that the carrying amounts of cash equivalents approximate their fair value because of the short maturity period.

 

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable are presented at net realizable value.  This value includes an appropriate allowance for estimated uncollectible accounts to reflect any loss anticipated on the trade accounts receivable and unbilled receivables.   Unbilled receivables include costs and gross profit earned in excess of billings.  The allowance for doubtful accounts is an estimate to cover the losses resulting from the inability of customers to make payments on their outstanding balances and unbilled receivables.  In estimating the required allowance, management considers the overall quality and aging of the accounts receivable, specific customer circumstances, current economic trends, and historical experience with collections.  At March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the allowance for doubtful accounts was $13,210 and $ 13,403, respectively.

 

Revenues earned in excess of related billings are recorded as an asset on the balance sheet as unbilled receivables.  Unbilled receivables as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, were $6,663 and $65,157, respectively.

Inventories

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value determined on a first-in, first-out basis.  The Company uses the average cost method for purposes of determining cost, which approximates the first-in, first-out method.

The Company establishes reserves on its inventories to write-down the carrying value of its estimated obsolete or excess inventories to estimated net realizable value based upon observations of historical usage and assumptions about future demand and market conditions.  In addition, the Company considers changes in the market value of components in determining the net realizable value of its inventory.  Inventory reserves are not typically reversed until the specific inventories are sold or otherwise disposed.

 

Actual demand, product mix and alternative usage may be lower than those that we project and this difference could have a material adverse effect on our gross margin if inventory write-downs beyond those initially recorded become necessary.  Alternatively, if actual demand, product mix and alternative usage are more favorable than those we estimated at the time of such a write-down, our gross margin could be favorably impacted in future periods.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment, other than leasehold improvements, are recorded at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, generally from three to five years. Leasehold improvements are recorded at cost and are amortized using the straight-line method over the shorter of the remaining lease term or the estimated useful life of the related asset.  Tooling and test equipment includes capitalized labor costs associated with the development of the related tooling and test equipment.  Costs incurred for maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred, and expenditures for major replacements and improvements are capitalized. Upon retirement or sale, the cost and related accumulated depreciation and amortization of disposed assets are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is included in other expense, net.

 

14


Goodwill

 

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price paid over the fair value of the net assets acquired in business combinations. Goodwill is not amortized but is tested for impairment at least annually or when we deem that a triggering event has occurred.  The Company reviews goodwill for impairment annually on December 31st.  The Company completed its annual assessment for goodwill impairment and determined that goodwill is not impaired as of December 31, 2018 and no adjustment was required.  For the three month period ended March 31, 2019, the Company did a review for impairment of goodwill and no adjustment was required.  During the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company recognized goodwill related to two business acquisitions as described in Note 3.  

 

Intangible Assets and Long-lived Assets

 

We evaluate our intangible and long-lived assets for impairment when events or circumstances arise that indicate our intangible and long-lived assets may be impaired. Indicators of impairment include, but are not limited to, a significant deterioration in overall economic conditions, a decline in our market capitalization, the loss of significant business, significant decreases in funding for our contracts, or other significant adverse changes in industry or market conditions. The Company completed its qualitative assessment for impairment in December 2018 and determined that there was no impairment as of December 31, 2018.  There were no events or circumstances that arose during the three month period ended March 31, 2019, that gave an indication of impairment. There can be no assurance, however, that market conditions will not change or demand for the Company’s products will continue, which could result in an impairment of intangible and long-lived assets in the future.

Revenue Recognition

 

On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted the new accounting standard update ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which superseded nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance under GAAP, to all contracts using the modified retrospective method. The comparative information has not been restated and continues to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for those periods.  

 

The Company’s performance obligations are satisfied over time as work is performed or at a point in time. The majority of the Company’s revenue is recognized at a point in time when products ship and control is transferred to the customer. The Company determines revenue recognition through the following steps: (1) identification of the contract with a customer; (2) identification of the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determination of the transaction price; (4) allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (5) recognition of revenue when, or as, a performance obligation is satisfied.

 

The Company’s contracts are executed through a combination of written agreements along with purchase orders with all customers including certain general terms and conditions. Generally, purchase orders entail products, quantities and prices, which define the performance obligations of each party and are approved and accepted by the Company. The Company’s contracts with customers do not include extended payment terms. Payment terms vary by contract type and type of customer and generally range from 30 to 60 days from invoice. Additionally, taxes assessed by a governmental authority that are both imposed on and concurrent with a specific revenue-producing transaction, that are collected by the Company from a customer and deposited with the relevant government authority, are excluded from revenue.

 

The transaction price is determined based on the consideration to which the Company will be entitled in exchange for transferring goods or services to the customer adjusted for estimated variable consideration.  Variable consideration may include discounts, rights of return, refunds, and other similar obligations. The Company allocates the transaction price to each distinct product and service based on its relative standalone selling price. The standalone selling price for products primarily involves the cost to produce the deliverable plus the anticipated margin and for services is estimated based on the Company’s approved list price.

 

In the normal course of business, the Company does not accept product returns unless the items are defective as manufactured. The Company establishes provisions for estimated returns and warranties. In addition, the Company does not typically provide customers with the right to a refund and does not transact for noncash consideration.

15


Customer agreements include one vendor managed inventory program. The Company recognizes revenue under this arrangement when (i) risks of ownership have passed to the customer; (ii) the customer's commitment to purchase the goods is fixed; (iii) there is a fixed schedule for delivery of the goods that is reasonable and consistent with the customer's business purpose; (iv) the Company does not have any specific performance obligations such that the earning process is not complete; (v) the ordered goods have been segregated from the Company's inventory and are not subject to being used to fill other orders; and (vi) the product is complete and ready for shipment. Also, such arrangement must be requested by the customer and the customer has explained a substantial business purpose for the arrangement. Management also considers whether the customer's custodial risks are insured and whether modifications to the Company's normal billing and credit terms were required.

The Company recorded revenue from product sales that are held in vendor managed inventory under these agreements of $1,494,078 and $990,401, for the three month periods ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

Revenues on certain fixed-price contracts where we provide engineering services, prototypes and completed products are recognized over the contract term based on the percentage of completion or based upon milestones delivered that are provided during the period and compared to the total estimated development and milestone goals to be provided over the entire contract. These services require that we perform significant, extensive and complex design, development, modification or implementation of our customers’ systems. Performance will often extend over long periods of time, and our right to receive future payment depends on our future performance in accordance with the agreement. Recognized revenue using the percentage of completion accounting method was $34,480 and $0 during the three month periods ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

The percentage-of-completion methodology involves recognizing probable and reasonably estimable revenue using the percentage of services completed, on a current cumulative cost to estimate total cost basis, using a reasonably consistent profit margin over the period. Due to the long-term nature of these projects, developing the estimates of costs often requires significant judgment. Factors that must be considered in estimating the progress of work completed and ultimate cost of the projects include, but are not limited to, the availability of labor and labor productivity, the nature and complexity of the work to be performed and the impact of delayed performance. If changes occur in delivery, productivity or other factors used in developing the estimates of costs or revenues, we revise our cost and revenue estimates, which may result in increases or decreases in revenues and costs, and such revisions are reflected in earnings in the period in which the revision becomes known.

Related billings that are in excess of revenue earned are deferred and recorded as a liability on the balance sheet until the related services are provided. Deferred revenue was $1,123,896 and $175,000 for the three month periods ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The Company recognizes revenues for non-refundable, upfront implementation fees on a straight-line basis over the period beginning with initiation of ongoing services through the end of the contract term.

The Company’s operating segment revenues disaggregated by primary geographic market, which is determined based on a customer’s geographic location, for the three month period ended March 31, 2019 is as follows:

Warranty Reserve

The Company offers product warranties that extend for one year from the date of sale. Such warranties require the Company to repair or replace defective product returned to the Company during the warranty period at no cost to the customer. The Company records an estimate for warranty‑related costs at the time of sale based on its historical and estimated future product return rates and expected repair or replacement costs (Note 7).  

16


While such costs have historically been within management’s expectations and the provisions established, unexpected changes in failure rates could have a material adverse impact on the Company, requiring additional warranty reserves and could adversely affect the Company’s gross profit and gross margins.

The Company offers customers extended warranties beyond the standard one-year warranty on the product.  The customer can purchase extended warranties from one to five years, in the bronze, silver or gold categories.  This entails hardware repair or replacement, shipping methods on how the warranties will be returned / delivered, response times and hours of operations to receive support.  The amount of warranties sold for the three months period ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 was $80,123 and $16,184.

The revenue that was recognized for the warranties sold for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 was $106,698 and $27,447, respectively.  The Company does have recourse with some of its suppliers that offer more than a one-year guarantee on parts, but this is not standard.  The few that offer greater than a year warranty, the Company may be able to cover the cost of the part from the manufacturer for the failed part.  The amount of these costs vary in a wide range, but are not material, due to the infrequency of failure.  The amount of liability on the Company’s books for revenue not recognized as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 were $382,759 and $409,334, respectively.  

Shipping and Handling Costs

The Company's shipping and handling costs are included in cost of goods sold for all periods presented.

Foreign Currency

 

We operate primarily in the United States.  Foreign sales of products and services are primarily denominated in U.S. dollars.  We also conduct limited business outside the United States through our foreign subsidiary in Germany, where business is largely transacted in non-U.S. dollar currencies, particularly the Euro, which is subject to fluctuations due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates.   Accordingly, we are subject to exposure from changes in the exchange rates of local currencies. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses are recorded in other income (expense), net in the consolidated statements of operations.

 

OSS GmbH operates as an extension of OSS’s domestic operations.  The functional currency of OSS GmbH is the Euro. Transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are remeasured to the functional currency at the average exchange rate in effect during the period.  At the end of each reporting period, monetary assets and liabilities are remeasured using exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities are remeasured at historical exchange rates. Consequently, changes in the exchange rates of the currencies may impact the translation of the foreign subsidiaries’ statements of operations into U.S. dollars, which may in turn affect our consolidated statement of operations. The resulting foreign currency translation adjustments are recorded as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income in the consolidated balance sheet.

 

Derivative Financial Instruments

 

We employ derivatives to manage certain market risks through the use of foreign exchange forward contracts. We do not use derivatives for trading or speculative purposes. Our derivatives are designated as a hedge of a forecasted transaction or of the variability of cash flows to be received or paid related to a recognized asset or liability (cash flow hedge). We hedge a portion of the exchange risk involved in anticipation of highly probable foreign currency-denominated transactions. In anticipation of these transactions, we enter into foreign exchange contracts to provide currency at a fixed rate. As of March 31, 2019, the Company had no foreign exchange contracts outstanding.  

 

17


Unrealized gains on derivatives designated as cash flow hedges are recorded at fair value as assets, and unrealized losses on derivatives designated as cash flow hedges are recorded at fair value as liabilities. For derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges, the effective portion is reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income until reclassified into interest expense in the same period the hedged transaction affects earnings. The gain or loss on the ineffective portion is recognized as “Other income (expense) – net” in the consolidated statements of income in each period.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company accounts for employee and director share-based compensation in accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 718 “Compensation – Stock Compensation”.  Under ASC 718, share-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date, based on the calculated fair value of the award, and is recognized as an expense over the employee’s requisite service period (generally the vesting period of the equity grant).

All transactions in which goods or services are the consideration received for the issuance of equity instruments to non-employees are accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instrument issued, whichever is more reliably measurable.  The measurement date used to determine the estimated fair value of the equity instrument issued is the earlier of the date on which the third-party performance is complete or the date on which it is probable that performance will occur.

Employee and director stock-based compensation expense recognized during the period is based on the value of the portion of stock-based payment awards that is ultimately expected to vest during the period.  Given that stock-based compensation expense recognized in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations is based on awards ultimately expected to vest, it has been reduced for estimated forfeitures. The Company’s estimated average forfeiture rates are based on historical forfeiture experience and estimated future forfeitures.

 

Compensation cost for stock awards, which include restricted stock units (“RSUs”), is measured at the fair value on the grant date and recognized as expense, net of estimated forfeitures, over the related service period. The fair value of stock awards is based on the quoted price of our common stock on the grant date.

The estimated fair value of common stock option awards is calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The Black-Scholes model requires subjective assumptions regarding future stock price volatility and expected time to exercise, along with assumptions about the risk-free interest rate and expected dividends, all of which affect the estimated fair values of the Company’s common stock option awards.  The expected term of options granted is calculated using the simplified method, which is the weighted average vesting period and the contractual lives of the options.  

This calculation is based on a method acceptable in instances where the vesting and exercise terms of options granted meet certain conditions and where limited historical exercise data is available.  The expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of the common stock of comparable public companies that operate in similar industries as the Company.

The risk-free rate selected to value any particular grant is based on the U.S. Treasury rate that corresponds to the expected term of the grant effective as of the date of the grant. The expected dividend assumption is based on the Company’s history and management’s expectation regarding dividend payouts. Compensation expense for common stock option awards with graded vesting schedules is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for the last separately vesting portion of the award, provided that the accumulated cost recognized as of any date at least equals the value of the vested portion of the award.

If there are any modifications or cancellations of the underlying vested or unvested stock-based awards, the Company may be required to accelerate, increase or cancel any remaining unearned stock-based compensation expense, or record additional expense for vested stock-based awards. Future stock-based compensation expense and unearned stock- based compensation may increase to the extent that the Company grants additional common stock options or other stock-based awards.

Business Combinations

 

We utilize the acquisition method of accounting for business combinations and allocate the purchase price of an acquisition to the various tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values. We primarily establish fair value using the income approach based upon a discounted cash flow model. The income approach requires the use of many assumptions and estimates including future revenues and expenses, as well as discount factors and income tax rates. Other estimates include:

 

 

Estimated step-ups or write-downs for fixed assets and inventory;

 

Estimated fair values of intangible assets; and

 

Estimated income tax assets and liabilities assumed from the target

While we use our best estimates and assumptions as part of the purchase price allocation process to accurately value assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the business acquisition date, our estimates and assumptions are inherently uncertain and subject to refinement. As a result, during the purchase price allocation period, which is generally one year from the business acquisition date, we record adjustments to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, with the corresponding offset to goodwill.

For changes in the valuation of intangible assets between preliminary and final purchase price allocation, the related amortization is adjusted in the period it occurs. Subsequent to the purchase price allocation period any adjustment to assets acquired or liabilities assumed is included in operating results in the period in which the adjustment is determined.  Should we issue shares of our common stock in an acquisition, we will be required to estimate the fair value of the shares issued.

 

Advertising Costs

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and included in marketing and selling expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.  Advertising costs for the three month periods ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 were $130,922 and $17,626, respectively.

Research and Development Expenses

Research and development expenditures are expensed in the period incurred.  Research and development expenses primarily consist of salaries, benefits and stock-based compensation, as well as consulting expenses and allocated facilities and other overhead costs. Research and development activities include the development of new technologies, features and functionality in support of the Company’s products and customer needs.

Income Taxes

The Company utilizes the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the consolidated financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amounts expected to be realized.

Under ASC Topic 740, the impact of an uncertain income tax position on the income tax return must be recognized at the largest amount that is more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon audit by the relevant taxing authority.  An uncertain income tax position will not be recognized if it has less than a 50% likelihood of being sustained.  Additionally, ASC Topic 740 provides requirements for derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition.  The Company’s policy is to recognize interest and/or penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense.  

19


The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, California and Germany.  On December 22, 2017, the U.S. government enacted comprehensive tax legislation commonly referred to as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”).  The Tax Act reduces the corporate tax rate to 21%, effective January 1, 2018.  Consequently, the Company has recorded a decrease related to deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities as of December 31, 2017.   Except for this adjustment, the Company does not foresee material changes to its gross liability of uncertain tax positions within the next twelve months.

Interest Expense

Interest expense consists primarily of interest associated with the Company’s issued debt including the amortization of debt discounts.  The Company recognizes the amortization of debt discounts and the amortization of interest costs using a straight-line method which approximates the effective interest method.

Net (Loss) Income Per Share

Basic net (loss) income per share is calculated by dividing net (loss) income by the weighted-average common shares outstanding during the period.  Diluted net (loss) income per share is calculated by dividing the net (loss) income by the weighted-average shares and dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period. Dilutive potential shares consist of dilutive shares issuable and the exercise or vesting of outstanding stock options and warrants, respectively, computed using the treasury stock method. During a period where a net loss is incurred, dilutive potential shares are excluded from the computation of dilutive net loss per share, as inclusion is anti-dilutive.  

On February 1, 2018, in connection with the Company’s initial public offering, the Company’s outstanding Series A, Series B, and Series C, Preferred Stock was automatically converted to common stock, par value $0.0001.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (“ASU 2016-02”).  Under ASU 2016-02, lessees will be required to recognize the following for all leases (with the exception of short-term leases) at the commencement date: a lease liability, which is a lessee’s obligation to make lease payments arising from a lease, measured on a discounted basis; and a right-of-use asset, which is an asset that represents the lessee’s right to use, or control the use of, a specified asset for the lease term.  ASU 2016-02 is effective for the Company for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years.  Early application is permitted.  Lessees must apply a modified retrospective transition approach for leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements.  The modified retrospective approach would not require any transition accounting for leases that expired before the earliest comparative period presented.  Lessees may not apply a full retrospective transition approach.  The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2016-02 on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures, but preliminary expects its assets and liabilities to increase significantly.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments (“ASU 2016-15”), which is intended to reduce the existing diversity in practice in how certain cash receipts and cash payments are classified in the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-15 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted, provided that all of the amendments are adopted in the same period. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2016-15 on its consolidated financial statements.

 

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business (“ASU 2017-01”). The amendments in this update clarify the definition of a business with the objective of adding guidance to assist entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions or disposals of assets or businesses. ASU 2017-01 will be effective for the Company for the year ending December 31, 2019 and interim reporting periods within 2020. Early adoption is permitted for transactions that have not been reported in financial statements that have been issued or made available for issuance. The Company is currently evaluating the effect of the adoption of this guidance on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

20


 

In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-07, Stock-based Compensation: Improvements to Nonemployee Share-based Payment Accounting, which amends the existing accounting standards for share-based payments to nonemployees. This ASU aligns much of the guidance on measuring and classifying nonemployee awards with that of awards to employees. Under the new guidance, the measurement of nonemployee equity awards is fixed on the grant date. This ASU becomes effective for the year ending December 31, 2020 and early adoption is permitted but no earlier than an entity’s adoption date of Topic 606. Entities will apply the ASU by recognizing a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the annual period of adoption. We are currently evaluating the impact that ASU 2018-07 will have on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Recently implemented accounting pronouncements

 

In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASU 2014-09”). ASU 2014-09 supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in FASB Topic 605, Revenue Recognition. ASU 2014-09 implements a five-step process for customer contract revenue recognition that focuses on transfer of control, as opposed to transfer of risk and rewards.  This guidance provides a single, comprehensive accounting model for revenue arising from contracts with customers. This guidance supersedes most of the existing revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. Under this model, revenue is recognized at an amount that a company expects to be entitled to upon transferring control of goods or services to a customer, as opposed to when risks and rewards transfer to a customer. The new guidance also requires additional disclosures about the nature, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flow arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments. We adopted this standard beginning January 1, 2019 and used the modified retrospective method of adoption. Under the new guidance, based on the nature of our contracts, we continued to recognize revenue in a similar manner as with the former guidance. Additionally, we expect the unit of accounting, that is, the identification of performance obligations, will be consistent with current revenue guidance. Accordingly, the adoption of this standard did not significantly impact our revenues.  

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment (“ASU 2017-04”). ASU 2017-04 simplifies the subsequent measurement of goodwill by eliminating Step 2 from the goodwill impairment testing. An entity will no longer determine goodwill impairment by calculating the implied fair value of goodwill by assigning the fair value of a reporting unit to all of its assets and liabilities as if that reporting unit had been acquired in a business combination. Instead, an entity should perform its annual, or interim, goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount and recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value. The loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. An entity still has the option to perform the qualitative assessment for a reporting unit to determine if the quantitative impairment test is necessary.  The Company adopted early ASU 2017-04 in 2018.  The Company’s early adoption of this guideline did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

NOTE 3 – ACQUISITIONS

Concept Development Inc.

On August 31, 2018, the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding common stock of Concept Development Inc. (“CDI”) from CDI’s former stockholder (“CDI Stockholder”) pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization (the “Merger Agreement”).  CDI specializes in the design and manufacturing of custom high-performance computing systems for airborne in-flight entertainment systems.  CDI is located in Southern California. The acquisition is expected to increase the Company’s access to the in-flight entertainment market and gain technical expertise in the design and manufacturing of airborne equipment.  

The Company paid cash of $646,759 and issued 1,266,364 shares of the Company’s common stock to the CDI Stockholder for 100% of CDI outstanding common stock. The fair value assigned to the shares of common stock was $4,194,673, which was based upon the closing price of OSS’s stock on August 31, 2018 of $3.63 less a discount of 8.75% for lack of marketability for a one year period.

21


This transaction was accounted for using the acquisition method pursuant to ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations. Accordingly, goodwill has been measured as the excess of the total consideration over the amounts assigned to the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed.

The preliminary allocation of the total consideration to the acquired net assets as of the acquisition date for CDI is as follows:

In May 2015, the Company entered into a credit agreement (“Credit Agreement”) with a financial institution which provides for a revolving line of credit and a term note payable. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement were collateralized by substantially all of the Company's assets and the personal guarantee of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”).  Under the terms of the revolving line of credit, as amended on October 5, 2017, the line of credit was extended through August 31, 2018, and the unrestricted borrowing capacity was increased from $3,000,000 to $3,500,000.

Borrowings under the revolving line of credit bear interest at a LIBOR-based rate, as defined in the Credit Agreement, plus 2.5% (totaling 3.93% at December 31, 2017), and interest is payable monthly. On February 5, 2018, the Company paid down the remaining outstanding balance on the line of credit.  On March 2, 2018, the Company cancelled its line of credit with the Bank of West and the personal guarantee of the Company’s CEO was released as a result.   

Bressner Technology GmbH has five revolving lines of credit with German institutions totaling €3,820,000 (US$4,286,307).  Borrowing under the lines of credit bear interest at variable rates of Euribor plus a stated rate.  Current rates are between 3.75% and 7.99%.  The lines of credit were guaranteed by the managing director through March 31, 2019. Total outstanding balance as of March 31, 2019 was €493,698 (US$553,965).

Notes Payable

In May 2015, the Company issued a note payable in connection with the Credit Agreement totaling $1,250,000 (“May 2015 Note”).  Under the terms of the note agreement, interest accrued on the outstanding balance at 3.60% per annum.  The May 2015 Note required the Company to make monthly principal and interest payments totaling $36,750 through the maturity date.

In July 2016, the Company refinanced the Magma note payable (Note 2) and the May 2015 Note into a new $1,600,000 note payable (“Refinanced Note”).  Under the terms of the Refinanced Note, interest accrued on the outstanding balance at 3.80% per annum.  The Refinanced Note required the Company to make monthly principal and interest payments totaling $47,219 through the maturity date of July 31, 2019.  The note was paid in full on February 23, 2018.

In July 2016, the Company issued a note payable totaling $250,000 (“July 2016 Note”) to a third party.  Under the terms of the note agreement, interest accrued on the outstanding balance at 11% per annum.  The July 2016 Note requires the Company to make monthly principal and interest payments totaling $9,570 with a maturity date on January 15, 2019.  The note is unsecured and guaranteed by the Company’s CEO and is subordinated to borrowings under the Credit Agreement. The note was paid in full on February 15, 2018.  

In connection with July 2016 Note, the Company issued to the noteholder warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock equal to 20% of the original principal at a price per share equal to $1.78 per share. Accordingly, the Company issued to the noteholder warrants to purchase 28,090 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $1.78 per share in July 2016. The relative fair value of the warrants was $24,830.  The relative fair value of warrants was estimated using Black-Scholes with the following weighted-average assumptions: fair value of the Company’s common stock at issuance of $1.78 per share; seven year contractual term; 54% volatility; 0% dividend rate; and a risk-free interest rate of 1.42%.  

Bressner Technology GmbH has three term loans outstanding with a total balance outstanding of €386,458 (US$433,634) as follows:

Bressner entered into an unsecured note payable for working capital in August 2015, in the amount of €250,000 (US$280,518) which bears interest at 2.125% which matures on August 12, 2019.  Quarterly payments of €15,600 (US$17,504) are due at the beginning of each calendar quarter with remaining balance due at maturity.  The balance outstanding as of March 31, 2019 is €33,058 (US$37,094).

Bressner entered into a note payable in September 2017, in the amount of €400,000 (US$448,828) which bears interest at 2.125% which matures on April 30, 2020.  The loan was guaranteed by the managing director of Bressner through March 31, 2019.  Quarterly payments of €25,000 (US$28,052) are due in January, April, July and November with remaining balance due at maturity.  The balance outstanding as of March 31, 2019 is €275,000 (US$308,570).

Related-Party Notes Payable

In July 2016, the Company issued notes payable totaling $350,000 (“July 2016 Related Party Notes”) to two stockholders.  Under the terms of the note agreements, interest accrues on the outstanding balance at 11% per annum.  The July 2016 Related Party Notes require the Company to make total monthly principal and interest payments of $13,397 with maturity dates on January 15, 2019.  The notes are unsecured and guaranteed by the Company’s CEO and are subordinated to borrowings under the Credit Agreement.

NOTE 9 – STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

The Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation filed on December 14, 2017, authorizes the Company to issue 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock and 50,000,000 shares of common stock. On February 1, 2018, in connection with the Company’s initial public offering, each share of the Company’s outstanding Series A, Series B, and Series C, Preferred Stock was automatically converted into a share of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 on a one-for-one basis.  

Common Stock

The voting, dividend and liquidation rights of the holders of the common stock are subject to rights of preferred stockholders, if any, as designated by the Board of Directors.  Common stockholders have voting rights at all meetings of stockholders and are entitled to one vote for each share held subject to certain limitations otherwise required by law.  Dividends may be declared and paid on the common stock as and when determined by the Board of Directors subject to any preferential dividend or other rights of preferred stockholders.  The Company does not anticipate declaring any dividends in the foreseeable future.  Upon the dissolution or liquidation of the Company, common stockholders are entitled to receive all assets of the Company, subject to any preferential or other rights of preferred stockholders.

 

27


Initial Public Offering

On December 18, 2017, the Company announced the commencement of an underwritten public offering of its common stock, par value $0.0001 per share. The offering became effective on January 31, 2018 and trading began on February 1, 2018.  On February 5, 2018, the Company closed the initial public offering selling an aggregate of 3,800,000 shares of common stock at a price to the public of $5.00 for total gross proceeds of $19,000,000, which resulted in net proceeds of $17,485,000, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions of $1,330,000 and underwriter offering-related transaction costs of $185,000. Additionally, the Company incurred costs associated with the transaction for accounting, legal and other fees and costs of $1,148,352 and a warrant expense of $699,408 for warrants issued to the underwriter pursuant to the underwriter agreement.  Such stock issuance costs have been deducted from the proceeds received from the underwriter and disclosed as net proceeds in the consolidated statement of stockholders’ equity.

On February 9, 2018, the underwriters exercised their over-allotment option to purchase an additional 200,000 shares of common stock at the public offering price of $5.00 per share, of which 100,000 shares of newly issued common stock were purchased from the Company and 100,000 shares were sold by the Company’s CEO’s family trust.  The Company received gross proceeds of $500,000, which resulted in net proceeds to the Company of $465,000, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions of $35,000.

Warrants

In conjunction with the Company’s initial public offering, on February 1, 2018, the Company issued warrants to the underwriter to purchase 380,000 shares of common stock at a price of $6.00 pursuant to the Underwriting and Warrant Agreements dated February 1, 2018.

The fair value of the warrants was $699,408. The fair value of warrants was estimated using Black-Scholes with the following weighted-average assumptions: fair value of the Company’s common stock at issuance of $5.00 per share; five year contractual term; 42.7% volatility; 0% dividend rate; and a risk-free interest rate of 2.72%.  The warrant expense was treated as a stock issuance cost and was deducted from the gross proceeds received in the offering in the current period.  A corresponding increase in additional paid in capital was recognized in relation to this transaction.

Exercise of Stock Options and Warrants

During the three month periods ended March 31, 2019, the Company issued 54,098 shares of common stock for proceeds of $14,201 in cash related to the exercise of stock options and warrants.  Of the total shares issued, 17,598 shares of common stock were issued as a cashless exercise of stock options. 

Preferred Stock

Preferred Stock may be issued from time to time in one or more series, each of these series to have such terms as stated or expressed in resolutions providing for the issue of such series adopted by the Board of Directors.  Since February 1, 2018, there has been no outstanding preferred stock.

Regarding unissued preferred stock, the Board of Directors is authorized to determine or alter any or all of the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions granted to or imposed upon wholly unissued series of preferred stock, and to fix or alter the number of shares comprising any such series and the designation thereof, or any of them, and to provide for rights and terms of redemption or conversion of the shares of any such series.

As of March 31, 2019, the amount of unearned stock-based compensation estimated to be expensed from 2019 through 2022 related to unvested common stock options is $319,285, net of estimated forfeitures. The weighted-average period over which the unearned stock-based compensation is expected to be recognized is 2.04 years.

If there are any modifications or cancellations of the underlying unvested awards, the Company may be required to accelerate, increase or cancel any remaining unearned stock-based compensation expense or calculate and record additional expense.  Future stock-based compensation expense and unearned stock-based compensation will increase to the extent that the Company grants additional common stock options or other stock-based awards.

Restricted Stock Units

Restricted stock units may be granted at the discretion of the compensation committee of the Board of Directors under the 2017 Plan in connection with the hiring and retention of personnel and are subject to certain conditions.  Restricted stock units generally vest quarterly over a period of three years and are typically forfeited if employment is terminated before the restricted stock unit vest.  The compensation expense related to the restricted stock units is calculated as the fair value of the common stock on the grant date and is amortized to expense over the vesting period and is adjusted for estimated forfeitures.

NOTE 14 – FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

 

The Company uses a three-tier fair value hierarchy to classify and disclose all assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis, as well as assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis, in periods subsequent to their initial measurement.  These tiers include:

 

Level 1, defined as quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

 

Level 2, defined as inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active, model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities; and

 

Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data.

The carrying value of financial instruments including cash and cash equivalents accounts receivable and accounts payable and accrued expenses, lines of credit, and other liabilities approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments.  Assets and liabilities assumed in the acquisition of  the Ion software, Concept Development Inc., and Bressner Technology GmbH were recorded at fair value based upon the Company’s market assumptions which approximated carrying value (except for acquired intangible assets – Note 2) due to the short-term nature of the instruments.  The carrying amounts of Bressner’s existing lines of credit and notes payable approximate their fair values at the stated interest rates and are reflective of the prevailing market rates.

32


NOTE 15 – SEGMENT AND GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION

The Company operates in three reportable segments: the design and manufacture of high-performance customized computers and flash arrays, in-flight entertainment & connectivity and value-added reseller with minimal customization. The Company evaluates financial performance on a company-wide basis.

Revenue from customers with non-U.S. billing addresses represented approximately 77% and 46% of the Company’s revenue during the three month periods ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

As of March 31, 2019 and 2018, substantially all the Company’s long-lived assets were located in the United States of America with the exception of assets of $338,468 located in Germany as of March 31, 2019.

On August 31, 2018, the Company acquired Concept Development Inc. (CDI) located in Irvine, California for cash of $646,759, and common stock of $4,194,673.  CDI specializes in the design and manufacture of custom high-performance computing systems for airborne in-flight entertainment systems.  

On October 31, 2018, the Company’s wholly-owned German subsidiary, OSS GmbH, acquired 100% of the outstanding stock of Bressner Technology GmbH, a Germany limited liability company located near Munich, Germany, from its principal owners for cash consideration of €4,725,000 (US$5,374,582) and stock consideration of 106,463 newly-issued restricted shares of the Company’s common stock.

On December 31, 2018, as a result of changes in the competitive landscape and downward pressure on pricing from large competitors, the members to the joint venture agreement agreed to begin the dissolution of SkyScale.

Components of Results of Operations

Revenue

On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted the new accounting standard update ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which superseded nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance under GAAP, to all contracts using the modified retrospective method. The comparative information has not been restated and continues to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for those periods.  The adoption of ASC 606 did not have a material impact on our results of operations for the current period.

The Company’s contracts are executed through a combination of written agreements along with purchase orders with all customers including certain general terms and conditions. Generally, purchase orders entail products, quantities and prices, which define the performance obligations of each party and are approved and accepted by the Company.  The Company’s performance obligations are satisfied over time as work is performed or at a point in time. The majority of the Company’s revenue is recognized at a point in time when products ship and control is transferred to the customer.   

Customer agreements include one vendor managed inventory program. Such arrangement must be requested by the customer and the customer has explained a substantial business purpose for the arrangement. Management also considers whether the customer's custodial risks are insured and whether modifications to the Company's normal billing and credit terms were required.

Revenues on certain fixed-price contracts where we provide engineering services, prototypes and completed products are recognized over the contract term based on the percentage of completion or based upon milestones delivered that are provided during the period and compared to the total estimated development and milestone goals to be provided over the entire contract. Performance will often extend over long periods of time, and our right to receive future payment depends on our future performance in accordance with the agreement.

The percentage-of-completion methodology involves recognizing probable and reasonably estimable revenue using the percentage of services completed, on a current cumulative cost to estimate total cost basis, using a reasonably consistent profit margin over the period. Due to the long-term nature of these projects, developing the estimates of costs often requires significant judgment. .

Related billings that are in excess of revenue earned are deferred and recorded as a liability on the balance sheet until the related services are provided. The Company recognizes revenues for non-refundable, upfront implementation fees on a straight-line basis over the period beginning with initiation of ongoing services through the end of the contract term.

Cost of revenue

Cost of revenue primarily consists of costs of materials, costs paid to third-party contract manufacturers (which may include the costs of components), and personnel costs associated with manufacturing and support operations. Personnel costs consist of wages, bonuses, benefits, stock-based compensation expenses. Cost of revenue also includes freight, allocated overhead costs and inventory write-offs and changes to our inventory and warranty reserves. Allocated overhead costs consist of certain facilities and utility costs. We expect cost of revenue to increase in absolute dollars, as product revenue increases.

Operating expenses

Our operating expenses consist of general and administrative, sales and marketing and research and development expenses. Salaries and personnel-related costs, benefits, and stock-based compensation expense, are the most significant components of each category of operating expenses. Operating expenses also include allocated overhead costs for facilities and utility costs.

35


General and Administrative - General and administrative expense consists primarily of employee compensation and related expenses for administrative functions including finance, legal, human resources and fees for third-party professional services, as well as allocated overhead. For 2018, general and administrative expenses include the costs related to the dissolution of SkyScale, LLC.  We expect our general and administrative expense to increase in absolute dollars as we continue to invest in growing the business.

Sales and Marketing - Sales and marketing expense consists primarily of employee compensation and related expenses, sales commissions, marketing programs, travel and entertainment expenses as well as allocated overhead. Marketing programs consist of advertising, tradeshows, events, corporate communications and brand-building activities. We expect sales and marketing expenses to increase in absolute dollars as we expand our sales force, increase marketing resources, and further develop sales channels.

Research and Development - Research and development expense consists primarily of employee compensation and related expenses, prototype expenses, depreciation associated with assets acquired for research and development, third-party engineering and contractor support costs, as well as allocated overhead. We expect our research and development expenses to increase in absolute dollars as we continue to invest in new and existing products.

Other Income (Expense), net

Other income consists of income received for activities outside of our core business.  In 2017, this includes rental income received through the sub-leasing of certain facility space.  Other expense includes expenses for activities outside of our core business.  These expenses consist primarily of loan fee amortization and interest expense.

Provision for Income Taxes

Provision for income taxes consists of estimated income taxes due to the United States and German governments and to the state tax authorities in jurisdictions in which we conduct business, as well as the change in our deferred income tax assets and liabilities.

Results of Operations

Results of operations for the three month periods ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 include the following businesses from the date of their acquisition:  Magma, SkyScale, which began operations in April 2017, the purchase of the Ion business from Western Digital on July 1, 2017, Concept Development Inc., which was acquired on August 31, 2018, and Bressner Technology GmbH, which was acquired on October 31, 2018.

Accordingly, the periods presented below are not directly comparable.  After the completion of four quarters, these businesses for both revenue and expense reporting will be treated as organic operating activity for current and comparable historical periods.  The following tables set forth our results of continued operations for the three month periods ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 respectively, presented in dollars and as percentage of net revenue.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Adjusted EBITDA

We believe that the use of adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, or adjusted EBITDA, is helpful for an investor to assess the performance of the Company.  The Company defines adjusted EBITDA as income (loss) attributable to common stockholders before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, acquisition expenses, impairment of long-lived assets, financing costs, fair value adjustments from purchase accounting, stock-based compensation expense and expenses related to discontinued operations.

Adjusted EBITDA is not a measurement of financial performance under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, or GAAP. Because of varying available valuation methodologies, subjective assumptions and the variety of equity instruments that can impact a company’s non-cash operating expenses, we believe that providing a non-GAAP financial measure that excludes non-cash and non-recurring expenses allows for meaningful comparisons between our core business operating results and those of other companies, as well as providing us with an important tool for financial and operational decision making and for evaluating our own core business operating results over different periods of time.

Our adjusted EBITDA measure may not provide information that is directly comparable to that provided by other companies in our industry, as other companies in our industry may calculate non-GAAP financial results differently, particularly related to non-recurring, unusual items. Our adjusted EBITDA is not a measurement of financial performance under GAAP, and should not be considered as an alternative to operating income or as an indication of operating performance or any other measure of performance derived in accordance with GAAP. We do not consider adjusted EBITDA to be a substitute for, or superior to, the information provided by GAAP financial results.

Adjusted EPS

Adjusted EPS excludes the impact of certain items and, therefore, has not been calculated in accordance with GAAP. We believe that exclusion of certain selected items assists in providing a more complete understanding of our underlying results and trends and allows for comparability with our peer company index and industry. We use this measure along with the corresponding GAAP financial measures to manage our business and to evaluate our performance compared to prior periods and the marketplace. The Company defines Non-GAAP (loss) income attributable to common stockholders as (loss) or income before amortization, stock-based compensation, expenses related to discontinued operations, and acquisition costs.  Adjusted EPS expresses adjusted (loss) income on a per share basis using weighted average diluted shares outstanding.

Adjusted EPS is a non-GAAP financial measure and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for financial information provided in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures may not be computed in the same manner as similarly titled measures used by other companies. We expect to continue to incur expenses similar to the adjusted income from continuing operations and adjusted EPS financial adjustments described above, and investors should not infer from our presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures that these costs are unusual, infrequent or non-recurring.

Free cash flow, a non-GAAP measure for reporting cash flow, is defined as cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures for property and equipment, which includes capitalized software development costs. We believe free cash flow provides investors with an important perspective on cash available for investments and acquisitions after making capital investments required to support ongoing business operations and long-term value creation.   We believe that trends in our free cash flow can be valuable indicators of our operating performance and liquidity.

Free cash flow is a non-GAAP financial measure and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for financial information provided in accordance with GAAP. This non-GAAP financial measure may not be computed in the same manner as similarly titled measures used by other companies.

We expect to continue to incur expenditures similar to the free cash flow adjustments described above, and investors should not infer from our presentation of this non-GAAP financial measure that these expenditures reflect all of our obligations which require cash.  The following table reconciles cash provided by operating activities, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, to free cash flow:

Revenue

For the three month periods ended March 31, 2019, total revenue increased $2,938,187 or 41.3%, as compared to the same period in 2018. The increase in revenue was primarily driven by revenue from acquisitions which provided $4,827,813 of which Bressner contributed $4,528,359 or 63.6 percentage points and CDI contributed $299,454 or 4.2 percentage points of the total increase in revenue.  OSS saw a reduction in revenue of $1,769,087 or a negative 24.8 percentage points as compared to same period in the prior year.  The majority of this decrease is attributable to a delay in shipments associated with our flash arrays on our airborne military flash contract.  There was also a small decrease of $120,539 or 1.7 percentage points attributable to the dissolution of SkyScale.

Cost of revenue and gross margin

Cost of revenue increased by $2,739,431 or 55.8%, for the three month period ended March 31, 2019 as compared to the same period in 2018. The increase in cost of revenue was primarily driven by cost of revenue from acquisitions which contributed $3,917,373 of which Bressner contributed $3,571,646 or 72.8 percentage points and CDI contributed $345,727 or 7.0 percentage points of the total increase in cost of revenue.  OSS saw a reduction in cost of revenue of $1,028,981 or a negative 21.0 percentage points as compared to same period in the prior year.  The majority of this decrease is attributable to a delay in shipments associated with our flash arrays on our airborne military flash contract.  There was also a decrease of $148,961 or 3.0 percentage points attributable to the dissolution of SkyScale.

The overall gross margin percentage decreased from 31.1% for the three month period ended March 31, 2018 to 24.0% for the three month period ended March 31, 2019, a decrease of 7.1 percentage points.  OSS gross margin percentage for the three month period ended March 31, 2019 was 28.7%, which was 2.4 percentage points less in comparison to the prior year period of 31.1%.  The 2.4 percentage point decrease is attributable to change in mix attributable to lower sales of flash array systems. CDI contributed gross margin at a rate of negative 15.5% due to cost overruns on fixed price contracts, while Bressner contributed gross margin at a rate of 21.1% which was lower than the expected rate of 23.5%.  This reduction in gross margin is attributable to a significant order being sold at 6% gross margin during the three month periods ended March 31, 2019.  

Operating expenses

General and administrative expense

General and administrative expense increased $970,886 or 90.5%, for the three month period ended March 31, 2019 as compared to same period in 2018.  OSS contributed an additional $394,588 or 40.6% of the total annual increase in these expenses.  The increase in general and administrative expense increased primarily due to third party service costs associated with being a public company which includes legal and accounting costs, insurance, listing fees and reporting and compliance costs.  There was a reduction of $158,013 or (16.2%) as a result of the dissolution of SkyScale.  CDI contributed $183,498 or 18.9% of the total annual increase while Bressner contributed $550,813 or 56.7% of the total annual increase.  Overall general and administrative expenses increased as a percentage of revenue to 20.3% during the three month periods ended March 31, 2019 as compared to 15.1% during the same period in 2018.

Marketing and selling expense

Marketing and selling expense increased $268,917 or 30.9% during the three month periods ended March 31, 2019 as compared to the same period in 2018.  OSS had a reduction of $39,234 or (14.6%) of the total increase.  The major reduction was a decrease in external commissions associated with the reduction in sales of flash array systems.  There was a reduction in marketing and selling expense of $40,716 or (15.1) as a result of the dissolution of SkyScale.  CDI’s marketing expense for the three month period ended March 31, 2019 increased $2,207 or 0.8%, and Bressner contributed $346,660 or 128.9% of the total annual increase.  Overall, total marketing and selling expense decreased as a percentage of revenue to 11.3% during the three month period ended March 31, 2019 as compared to 12.2% during the same period in 2018.

40


Research and development expense

Research and development expense increased by $289,333 or 29.8% during the three month period ended March 31, 2019 as compared to same period in 2018.  These expenses are mainly compromised of salary and related costs and professional consulting services attributable to continued development of new and enhanced product offerings.  OSS saw an increase of $66,550 or 23.0%. The increase was largely driven by increased employee compensation costs.  CDI contributed $127,272 or 44.0% of the annual increase while Bressner contributed $95,511 or 33.0 of the annual increase for 2019. Overall, total research and development expense decreased as a percentage of revenue to 12.5% during the three month period ended March 31, 2019 as compared to 13.7% during the same period in 2018.

Interest expense

Interest expense decreased $49,393 or 88.7% for the three month period ended March 31, 2019 as compared to same period in 2018, as the outstanding debt associated with OSS which was outstanding as of March 31, 2018, was paid down in its entirety with proceeds from its public offering.  On October 31, 2018, the Company acquired Bressner which has a line of credit and certain term loans outstanding and as a result incurred interest charges of $6,216.  

 

Other income (expense), net

Other income (expense), decreased $75,773 or (112%) during the three month period ended March 31, 2019 as compared to the same period in 2018 of which $64,324 of the reduction is attributable to OSS. In the prior year OSS had other income attributable to settlement of certain outstanding obligations which did not occur in the current year.  

Provision for income taxes

We have recorded an income tax benefit of $1,101,911 for the three month period ended March 31, 2019 as compared to a tax provision of $217,124 for the same period in 2018.  This benefit is attributable to projected annual taxable income for 2019 with a projected tax rate of 53.85%.  The projected effective tax rate for the quarter differs from the statutory rate mainly due to permanent non-deductible goodwill amortization for Bressner Technology GmbH, as well as projecting federal, foreign and state tax liabilities for the year.

During the three month period ended March 31, 2018, the Company recorded a tax expense despite the fact that the Company experienced a pretax loss for the quarter ended March 31, 2018.  In determining the quarterly income tax expense, GAAP required us to forecast our annual effective income tax rate (“AETR”) for the year ended December 31, 2018.  Based on management’s projections, the Company expected income tax benefits related to research and development credits and equity compensation benefits to exceed our pretax earnings in 2018.  As a result, the Company expected its AETR to be negative for the year ended December 31, 2018, and when this negative AETR is applied to our quarterly pretax loss, the result is a quarterly income tax expense.

Liquidity and capital resources

During the three month period ended March 31, 2019, our primary sources of liquidity came from existing cash and third party borrowings. In addition to expected cash generated from operations, certain members of the Company’s Board of Directors have executed a definitive agreement to commit funds of up to $4,000,000 as a credit facility, of which, the Company has borrowed $1,500,000 as of May 1, 2019 for operations, facility expansion and ERP implementation.  The Company is developing plans for cost containment, as well as debt and/or equity financing to ensure that liquidity will be sufficient to meet our cash requirements for current operations through at least a period of the next twelve months. Additionally, the Company, through Bressner Technology GmbH, received a line of credit of €2,000,000 during the quarter and received a term loan in the amount of €500,000 subsequent to March 31, 2019.

41


Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors including our growth rate, the timing and extent of spending to support development efforts, the expansion of our sales and marketing, the timing of new product introductions and the continuing market acceptance of our products and services.

We may be required to seek additional equity or debt financing. In the event that additional financing is required from outside sources, we may not be able to raise monies on terms acceptable to us or at all. If we are unable to raise additional capital when desired, our business, operating results and financial condition would be adversely affected.

The following table summarizes our cash flows for the three month periods ended March 31, 2019 and 2018:

Operating Activities

During the three month period ended March 31, 2019 we used $200,017 in cash from operating activities, a decrease in the use of cash of $3,830,793 when compared to the cash used in operating activities of $4,030,810 during the same period in 2018. The decrease in cash used in operating activities was primarily a result of a reduction in working capital requirements of $4,501,166 offset by an increase in net loss of $150,310, and an increase in non-cash adjustments of $520,063.  Non-cash adjustments include increases of $1,503,050 comprised of the deferred benefit for income taxes, disposal loss on property and equipment, provision for bad debt, warranty reserves and amortization of debt discount.  These increases were offset by $982,987 in decreases in non-cash adjustments attributable to amortization of deferred gain, depreciation and amortization, inventory reserves, stock-based compensation expense and unrealized gain on forward currency contracts.

Working capital changes decreased overall by $4,501,166.  This net decrease was attributable to an increase in working capital due to increased inventory levels of $3,129,988.  This use of working capital was offset by sources of working capital of $7,631,154 attributable to accounts receivable, prepaids and other assets, accounts payable and accrued expenses and other liabilities for the comparable period.

Our ability to generate cash from operations in future periods will depend in large part on our profitability, the rate and timing of collections of our accounts receivable, our inventory turns and our ability to manage other areas of working capital including accounts payable.

Investing Activities

During the three month period ended March 31, 2019, we used cash of $802,193 in investing activities as compared to $13,387 used during the same period in 2018, an increase of $788,806. The net increase is primarily due to tenant improvements to our headquarter facility and software costs and external consulting costs associated with the implementation of our ERP system with the anticipation for completion by the end of the third quarter 2019.  The renovation and expansion of our facility is nearing completion.  As such, excluding these two major projects, we do not anticipate any other significant purchases of equipment beyond that which is anticipated for use in the normal course of our core business activity.  We are projecting to spend an additional $550,000 over the next two quarters to complete facilities and ERP projects.

Financing Activities

During the three month periods ended March 31, 2019, we used $817,272 in financing activities as compared to the cash generated of $12,985,327 during the same period in 2018.  During the three month period ended March 31, 2019, the Company paid down the outstanding balance on its Euro denominated line of credit and received proceeds of $14,201 for the exercise of warrants and stock options.  During three month period ended March 31, 2018, we received proceeds from the sale of common stock in our initial public offering of $19,500,000 which was offset by our stock issuance costs for commissions and third party professional services.  We also received $54,575 from the exercise of warrants and stock options.  With the proceeds from our initial public offering we paid off our line of credit and retired all outstanding debt obligations.

All OSS notes payable were paid-off in February 2018, from proceeds from the Company’s initial public offering.  Subsequently on October 31, 2018, the Company acquired Bressner which has lines of credit and certain term loans outstanding which are reflected in the schedule above.  Additionally, subsequently to March 31, 2019, the Company received funding of $1,500,000 from a select group of individuals in conjunction with $4,000,000 in commitments received from certain board members, which is not included in the table above.

 

We have made certain indemnities, under which the Company may be required to make payments to an indemnified party, in relation to certain transactions.  We indemnify our directors, officers, employees and agents to the maximum extent permitted under the laws of the State of Delaware.  In connection with our facilities leases, we indemnify our lessors for certain claims arising from the use of our facilities.  The duration of the indemnities varies, and in many cases is indefinite.  These indemnities do not provide for any limitation of the maximum potential future payments we could be obligated to make.  Historically, we have not been obligated to make any payments for these obligations and no liabilities have been recorded for these indemnities.

Off balance sheet arrangements

Other than lease commitments incurred in the normal course of business and certain indemnification provisions, we do not have any off-balance sheet financing arrangements or liabilities, guarantee contracts, retained or contingent interests in transferred assets, or any obligation arising out of a material variable interest in an unconsolidated entity.

We do not have any majority-owned subsidiaries that are not consolidated in the financial statements. Additionally, we do not have an interest in, or relationships with, any special purpose entities.  Prior to the 2018 pay-off of our outstanding notes payable and line of credit, our CEO provided a personal guarantee on much of our outstanding debt obligations.

Stockholder transactions

Effective August 1, 2016, we entered into a management services agreement with a company owned by the former Chief Executive Officer of Magma.  The agreement calls for payments of $180,000 per year for the first two years paid in monthly installments.  In year three the amount is reduced to $37,500 for the year paid in monthly installments.  Additionally, we granted 30,000 options in conjunction with execution of this agreement.  Payments for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 were $9,375 and $45,000, respectively.

Critical accounting policies and estimates

Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, expenses, and related disclosures. We evaluate our estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis. Our estimates are based on historical experience and various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Our actual results could differ from these estimates.  The critical accounting estimates, assumptions and judgments that we believe have the most significant impact on our consolidated financial statements are described below.

Revenue Recognition

 

On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted the new accounting standard update ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which superseded nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance under GAAP, to all contracts using the modified retrospective method. The comparative information has not been restated and continues to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for those periods. The Company expects the impact of the adoption of the new standard to be immaterial to its net income on an ongoing basis.

 

The Company’s performance obligations are satisfied over time as work is performed or at a point in time. The majority of the Company’s revenue is recognized at a point in time when products ship and control is transferred to the customer. The Company determines revenue recognition through the following steps: (1) identification of the contract with a customer; (2) identification of the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determination of the transaction price; (4) allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (5) recognition of revenue when, or as, a performance obligation is satisfied.

 

The Company’s contracts are executed through a combination of written agreements along with purchase orders with all customers including certain general terms and conditions. Generally, purchase orders entail products, quantities and prices, which define the performance obligations of each party and are approved and accepted by the Company. The Company’s contracts with customers do not include extended payment terms. Payment terms vary by contract type and type of customer and generally range from 30 to 60 days from invoice. Additionally, taxes assessed by a governmental authority that are both imposed on and concurrent with a specific revenue-producing transaction, that are collected by the Company from a customer and deposited with the relevant government authority, are excluded from revenue.

 

The transaction price is determined based on the consideration to which the Company will be entitled in exchange for transferring goods or services to the customer adjusted for estimated variable consideration.  Variable consideration may include discounts, rights of return, refunds, and other similar obligations. The Company allocates the transaction price to each distinct product and service based on its relative standalone selling price. The standalone selling price for products primarily involves the cost to produce the deliverable plus the anticipated margin and for services is estimated based on the Company’s approved list price.

 

In the normal course of business, the Company does not accept product returns unless the items are defective as manufactured. The Company establishes provisions for estimated returns and warranties. In addition, the Company does not typically provide customers with the right to a refund and does not transact for noncash consideration.

 

Customer agreements include one vendor managed inventory program. The Company recognizes revenue under this arrangement when (i) risks of ownership have passed to the customer; (ii) the customer's commitment to purchase the goods is fixed; (iii) there is a fixed schedule for delivery of the goods that is reasonable and consistent with the customer's business purpose; (iv) the Company does not have any specific performance obligations such that the earning process is not complete; (v) the ordered goods have been segregated from the Company's inventory and are not subject to being used to fill other orders; and (vi) the product is complete and ready for shipment. Also, such arrangement must be requested by the customer and the customer has explained a substantial business purpose for the arrangement. Management also considers whether the customer's custodial risks are insured and whether modifications to the Company's normal billing and credit terms were required.

 

44


Revenues on certain fixed-price contracts where we provide engineering services, prototypes and completed products are recognized over the contract term based on the percentage of completion or based upon milestones delivered that are provided during the period and compared to the total estimated development and milestone goals to be provided over the entire contract. These services require that we perform significant, extensive and complex design, development, modification or implementation of our customers’ systems. Performance will often extend over long periods of time, and our right to receive future payment depends on our future performance in accordance with the agreement.

The percentage-of-completion methodology involves recognizing probable and reasonably estimable revenue using the percentage of services completed, on a current cumulative cost to estimate total cost basis, using a reasonably consistent profit margin over the period. Due to the long-term nature of these projects, developing the estimates of costs often requires significant judgment. Factors that must be considered in estimating the progress of work completed and ultimate cost of the projects include, but are not limited to, the availability of labor and labor productivity, the nature and complexity of the work to be performed and the impact of delayed performance. If changes occur in delivery, productivity or other factors used in developing the estimates of costs or revenues, we revise our cost and revenue estimates, which may result in increases or decreases in revenues and costs, and such revisions are reflected in earnings in the period in which the revision becomes known.  

 

The Company offer customers extended warranties beyond the standard one-year warranty on the product.  The customer can purchase extended warranties from one to five years, in the bronze, silver or gold categories.  This entails hardware repair or replacement, shipping methods on how the warranties will be returned / delivered, response times and hours of operations to receive support.

 

The Company does have recourse with some of its suppliers that offer more than a one-year guarantee on parts, but this is not standard.  The few that offer greater than a year warranty, the Company is able to cover the cost of the part from the manufacturer for the failed part.  The amount of these costs vary in a wide range, but are not material, due to the infrequency of failure.

Stock-Based Compensation

 

We measure and recognize compensation expense for all stock-based awards granted to our employees and other service providers, including stock options granted under our 2017 and 2015 Plans, based on the estimated fair value of the award. We use the Black-Scholes option pricing model to estimate the fair value of stock option awards granted under our 2017 and 2015 Plans. We recognize the fair value of stock options granted under our 2017 and 2015’s Plan as stock-based compensation on a straight line basis over the requisite service period. We record expense net of anticipated forfeitures and adjust the annual expense based upon actual experience.  

Compensation cost for stock awards, which include restricted stock units (“RSUs”) is measured at the fair value on the grant date and recognized as expense, net of estimated forfeitures, over the related service period. The fair value of stock awards is based on the quoted price of our common stock on the grant date less the present value of expected dividends not received during the vesting period.

Our use of the Black-Scholes option pricing model requires the input of highly subjective assumptions, including the fair value of the underlying common stock, expected term of the option, expected volatility of the price of our common stock, risk-free interest rates and the expected dividend yield of our common stock. The assumptions used in our option pricing model represent management’s best estimates. These estimates involve inherent uncertainties and the application of management’s judgment. If factors change and different assumptions are used, our stock-based compensation expense could be materially different in the future.  

45


These assumptions and estimates are as follows:  

 

Fair Value of Common Stock.  While we were a privately-held company, our Board of Directors considered numerous objective and subjective factors to determine the fair value of our common stock at each grant date. These factors included, but were not limited to, (i) contemporaneous valuations of common stock performed by unrelated third-party specialists; (ii) the rights, preferences and privileges of our convertible preferred stock relative to those of our common stock; (iii) the lack of marketability of our common stock; (iv) developments in the business; (v) the likelihood of achieving a liquidity event, such as an IPO or a merger or acquisition of our business, given prevailing market conditions; and (vi) the market performance of comparable publicly traded companies.  Since the completion of our IPO, we use the closing quoted price of our common stock on the date of grant.

 

Expected Term.  The expected term represents the period that our stock-based awards are expected to be outstanding. The expected term assumptions were determined based on the vesting terms and contractual lives of the options, using the simplified method.

 

Expected Volatility.  Since we do not have sufficient trading history of our common stock, the expected volatility was determined based on the historical stock volatilities of comparable companies. Comparable companies consist of public companies in our industry that is similar in size, stage of life cycle and financial leverage. We intend to continue to apply this process using the same or similar public companies until a sufficient amount of historical information regarding the volatility of our own share price becomes available, or unless circumstances change such that the identified companies are no longer similar to us, in which case, more suitable companies whose share prices are publicly available would be used in the calculation.  

 

Risk-Free Interest Rate.  The risk-free interest rate is based on the implied yield available on U.S. Treasury zero-coupon issues with remaining terms similar to the expected term on the options.  

 

Dividend Rate.  We have never declared or paid any cash dividends and do not plan to pay cash dividends in the foreseeable future, and, therefore, use an expected dividend yield of zero.  

We will continue to use judgment in evaluating the assumptions related to our stock-based compensation on a prospective basis. As we continue to accumulate additional data related to our common stock, we may refine our estimation process, which could materially impact our future stock-based compensation expense.

Inventory Valuation

We value our inventory at the lower of cost or its estimated net realizable value.  We use the average cost method for purposes of determining cost, which approximates the first-in, first-out method. We write down inventory for excess and obsolescence based upon a review of historical usage and assumptions about future demand, product mix and possible alternative uses. Actual demand, product mix and alternative usage may be lower than those that we project and this difference could have a material adverse effect on our gross margin if inventory write-downs beyond those initially recorded become necessary.  Alternatively, if actual demand, product mix and alternative usage are more favorable than those we estimated at the time of such a write-down, our gross margin could be favorably impacted in future periods.

Goodwill, Intangible Assets and Long-lived Assets

We evaluate our goodwill, intangible and long-lived assets for impairment when events or circumstances arise that indicate our goodwill, intangible and long–assets may be impaired. Indicators of impairment include, but are not limited to, a significant deterioration in overall economic conditions, a decline in our market capitalization, the loss of significant business, significant decreases in funding for our contracts, or other significant adverse changes in industry or market conditions.

46


Income Taxes

The determination of income tax expense requires us to make certain estimates and judgments concerning the calculation of deferred tax assets and liabilities, as well as the deductions and credits that are available to reduce taxable income. We recognize deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in our consolidated financial statements. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse.

In evaluating our ability to recover deferred tax assets, we consider all available positive and negative evidence, including our past operating results, our forecast of future earnings, future taxable income, and tax planning strategies. The assumptions utilized in determining future taxable income require significant judgment. We record a valuation allowance against deferred tax assets if, based upon the available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. If it becomes more likely than not that a tax asset will be used for which a reserve has been provided, we reverse the related valuation allowance. If our actual future taxable income by tax jurisdiction differs from estimates, additional allowances or reversals of reserves may be necessary.

We use a two-step approach to recognize and measure uncertain tax positions. First, the tax position must be evaluated to determine the likelihood that it will be sustained upon external examination. If the tax position is deemed more-likely-than-not to be sustained, the tax position is then assessed to determine the amount of benefit to recognize in the financial statements. The amount of the benefit that may be recognized is the largest amount that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. We reevaluate our uncertain tax positions on a quarterly basis and any changes to these positions as a result of tax audits, tax laws or other facts and circumstances could result in additional charges to operations.

Business Combinations

We utilize the acquisition method of accounting for business combinations and allocate the purchase price of an acquisition to the various tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values. We primarily establish fair value using the income approach based upon a discounted cash flow model. The income approach requires the use of many assumptions and estimates including future revenues and expenses, as well as discount factors and income tax rates. Other estimates include:

 

Estimated step-ups or write-downs for fixed assets and inventory;

 

Estimated fair values of intangible assets; and

 

Estimated income tax assets and liabilities assumed from the target

While we use our best estimates and assumptions as part of the purchase price allocation process to accurately value assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the business acquisition date, our estimates and assumptions are inherently uncertain and subject to refinement. As a result, during the purchase price allocation period, which is generally no longer than one year from the business acquisition date, we record adjustments to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, with the corresponding offset to goodwill.

For changes in the valuation of intangible assets between preliminary and final purchase price allocation, the related amortization is adjusted in the period it occurs. Subsequent to the purchase price allocation period any adjustment to assets acquired or liabilities assumed is included in operating results in the period in which the adjustment is determined.  Should we issue shares of our common stock in an acquisition, we will be required to estimate the fair value of the shares issued.

Recent accounting pronouncements

Per the Company’s consolidated financial statements Note 2 – Significant Accounting Policies, we may be implementing a number of changes, as required by FASB.  See Note 2 for further details.

Recently implemented accounting pronouncements

Per the Company’s consolidated financial statements Note 2 – Significant Accounting Policies, we have implemented a number of changes, as required by FASB.  See Note 2 for further details.

Interest rate risk

Our exposure to interest rate risk is primarily associated with borrowing on revolving lines of credit denominated in both U.S. dollars and Euros.  We are exposed to the impact of interest rate changes primarily through our borrowing activities for our variable rate borrowings.

Concentration of credit risk

Financial instruments that potentially expose us to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash, cash equivalents and accounts receivable. We place our cash and cash equivalents with financial institutions with high credit quality. At March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, we had $455,434 and $2,272,256 respectively, of cash and cash equivalents on deposit or invested with our financial and lending institutions.

We provide credit to our customers in the normal course of business. We perform ongoing credit evaluations of our customers’ financial condition and limit the amount of credit extended when deemed necessary.

Foreign currency risk

We operate primarily in the United States.  Foreign sales of products and services are primarily denominated in U.S. dollars.  We also conduct business outside the United States through our foreign subsidiary in Germany, where business is largely transacted in non-U.S. dollar currencies particularly the Euro, which is subject to fluctuations due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates.   Accordingly, we are subject to exposure from changes in the exchange rates of local currencies. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses are recorded in other income (expense), net in the consolidated statements of operations

OSS GmbH operates as an extension of OSS’s domestic operations and acquired Bressner Technology GmbH in October 2018.  The functional currency of OSS GmbH is the Euro. Transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are remeasured to the functional currency at the average exchange rate in effect during the period.  At the end of each reporting period, monetary assets and liabilities are translated using exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities are remeasured at historical exchange rates. Consequently, changes in the exchange rates of the currencies may impact the translation of the foreign subsidiaries’ statements of operations into U.S. dollars, which may in turn affect our consolidated statement of operations. The resulting foreign currency translation adjustments are recorded as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income.

Derivative Financial Instruments

We employ derivatives to manage certain market risks through the use of foreign exchange forward contracts. We do not use derivatives for trading or speculative purposes. Our derivatives are designated as a hedge of a forecasted transaction or of the variability of cash flows to be received or paid related to a recognized asset or liability (cash flow hedge). We hedge a portion of the exchange risk involved in anticipation of highly probable foreign currency-denominated transactions. In anticipation of these transactions, we enter into foreign exchange contracts to provide currency at a fixed rate.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

Not Applicable.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Limitation on Effectiveness of Controls

Any control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance as to the tested objectives. The design of any control system is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions, regardless of how remote. The inherent limitations in any control system include the realities that judgments related to decision-making can be faulty, and that reduced effectiveness in controls can occur because of simple errors or mistakes. Due to the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error may occur and may not be detected.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Management is required to evaluate our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”). Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act, such as this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include controls and procedures designed to provide reasonable assurance that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on our management’s evaluation (with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer), our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) were effective at a reasonable assurance level as of the end of the period covered by this report.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended March 31, 2019, which were identified in connection with management’s evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act, that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

You should carefully review and consider the information regarding certain factors that could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results set forth under Item 1A (Risk Factors) in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.  There have been no material changes from the factors disclosed in our 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on March 21, 2019, although we may disclose changes to such factors or disclose additional factors from time to time in our future filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.

None.

 

Use of Proceeds from Public Offering of Common Stock

 

On February 5, 2018, we closed our initial public offering (“IPO”), in which we sold 3,800,000 shares of common stock at a price to the public of $5.00 per share. An additional 200,000 shares (100,000 sold directly by the Company and 100,000 sold by our CEO as selling stockholder) were sold in connection with the underwriter’s option to purchase additional shares. The offer and sale of all of the shares in the IPO were registered under the Securities Act pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-222121), which was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission on January 31, 2018. We raised $17,485,000 in net proceeds after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions of approximately $1.33 million and underwriter offering-related transaction costs of $185,000. As a result of the underwriter’s partial exercise of its over-allotment option, the Company received gross proceeds of $500,000 for its portion of the over-allotment, which resulted in net proceeds to us of $465,000, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions of $35,000.

 

Using the proceeds from the IPO, we reduced our indebtedness as follows:

 

On February 5, 2018, the Company paid down the outstanding balance of its line of credit with Bank of the West.  

On March 2, 2018, the line of credit with the Bank of the West was cancelled by the Company and the personal guarantee of our CEO was released.

 

On February 15, 2018, the Company paid-off the remaining balance of the “July 2016 Note.”  Our CEO’s personal guarantee released as a result.

 

On February 15, 2018, the Company paid-off the remaining balances of the related party notes payable. Our CEO’s personal guarantee released as a result.

 

On February 23, 2018, the Company paid the remaining balance of the Bank of the West term loan in the amount of $834,103.

 

On March 2, 2018, the Company cancelled its line of credit with Bank of the West.

 

On August 31, 2018, the Company acquired Concept Development Inc., and utilized cash of approximately $891,787, inclusive of acquisition and working capital requirements.

50


 

On October 31, 2018, the Company acquired Bressner Technology GmbH and utilized cash of approximately $5,794,000, inclusive of acquisition costs.

 

No payments were made by us to directors, officers or persons owning 10% or more of our capital stock or to their associates, or to our affiliates, other than payments in the ordinary course of business to officers for salaries. There has been no material change in the planned use of proceeds from our initial public offering as described in the final prospectus issued filed with the SEC on February 1, 2018, pursuant to Rule 424(b)(4).
