PAR TECHNOLOGY CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO UNAUDITED INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1 — Basis of presentation

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of PAR Technology Corporation (the “Company” or “PAR”) have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial statements and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X pertaining to interim financial statements.  Accordingly, they do not include all information and footnotes required by GAAP for annual financial statements.  In the opinion of management, such unaudited interim consolidated financial statements include all normal and recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (“Quarterly Report”).  Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that may be expected for any future period.  Certain amounts for prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current period classification.

The preparation of unaudited interim consolidated financial statements requires management of the Company to make a number of estimates, judgements and assumptions relating to the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the period. Primary areas where financial information is subject to the use of estimates, assumptions and the application of judgment include revenue recognition, accounts receivable, inventories, accounting for business combinations, contingent consideration, goodwill and intangible assets, and taxes.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements and related notes should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and related notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016,  filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on April 17, 2017.

Note 2 — Divestiture and Discontinued Operations

On November 4, 2015, the Company sold substantially all of the assets of its hotel/spa technology business operated by PAR Springer-Miller Systems, Inc., Springer-Miller International, LLC, and Springer-Miller Canada, ULC (collectively, “PSMS”) pursuant to an asset purchase agreement (the “PSMS APA”) dated on even date therewith among PSMS and Gary Jonas Computing Ltd., SMS Software Holdings LLC, and Jonas Computing (UK) Ltd. (the “Purchasers”). Accordingly, the results of operations of PSMS have been classified as discontinued operations in the Consolidated Statements of Operations (unaudited) and Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows (unaudited) in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) ASC 205-20 (Presentation of Financial Statements – Discontinued Operations). Additionally, the assets and associated liabilities have been classified as discontinued operations in the Consolidated Balance Sheets (unaudited). Total consideration to be received from the sale is $16.6 million in cash (the “Base Purchase Price”), with $12.1 million paid at the closing of the asset sale and up to $4.5 million payable 18 months following the closing (the “Holdback Amount”).  On May 5, 2017, the Company received payment of $4.2 million of the Holdback Amount, the unpaid balance is reflective of a negative purchase price adjustment based on the net tangible asset calculation provided under the PSMS APA. In addition to the Base Purchase Price, contingent consideration of up to $1.5 million (the “Earn-Out”) could be received by the Company based on the achievement of certain agreed-upon revenue and earnings targets for calendar years 2016, 2017 and 2018 (up to $500,000 per calendar year), subject to setoff for PSMS and ParTech, Inc. indemnification obligations thereunder and unresolved claims. The Company received no Earn-Out payment for calendar year 2016 and, as of September 30, 2017, the Company did not record any amount associated with calendar years 2017 and 2018, as the Company does not believe achievement of the related revenue and earnings targets is probable.

 

Summarized financial position for the Company’s discontinued operations is as follows (in thousands):

Summarized financial operating results for the Company’s discontinued operations is as follows (in thousands):

Note 3 — Accounts Receivable

The Company’s net accounts receivable consists of (in thousands):

At September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company had recorded allowances for doubtful accounts of $1.2 million and $0.9 million, respectively, against Restaurant/Retail segment accounts receivable.

 

Note 4 — Inventories

Inventories are primarily used in the manufacture, maintenance and service of Restaurant/Retail segment products.  The components of inventories (net) consist of the following (in thousands):

At September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company had recorded inventory reserves of $9.0 million and $9.2 million, respectively, against Restaurant/Retail segment inventories, which relates primarily to service parts.

Note 5 — Identifiable Intangible Assets and Goodwill

The Company’s identifiable intangible assets represent intangible assets acquired in connection with the Brink Software Inc. acquisition in 2014 and internally developed software costs.  The Company capitalizes certain costs related to the development of computer software used in its Restaurant/Retail segment. Software development costs incurred prior to establishing technological feasibility are charged to operations and included in research and development costs.  The technological feasibility of a computer software product is established when the Company has completed all planning, designing, coding, and testing activities that are necessary to establish that the product meets its design specifications including functionality, features, and technical performance requirements. Software development costs incurred after establishing technological feasibility for software sold as a perpetual license, as defined within ASC 985-20 (Software – Costs of Software to be sold, Leased, or Marketed) and for software as a service (“SAAS”), as defined within ASC-350-40 (Intangibles – Goodwill and Other – Internal – Use Software) are capitalized and amortized on a product-by-product basis when the product is available for general release to customers. Software costs capitalized within continuing operations during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 were $1.1 million and $3.3 million, respectively.  Software costs capitalized within continuing operations during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 were $0.7 million and $1.9 million, respectively.

Annual amortization, charged to cost of sales when a product is available for general release to customers, is computed using the greater of (a) the straight-line method over the remaining estimated economic life of the product, generally three to seven years or (b) the ratio that current gross revenues for the product bear to the total of current and anticipated future gross revenues for the product.  Amortization of capitalized software costs from continuing operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 were $0.4 million and $1.1 million, respectively.  Amortization of capitalized software costs from continuing operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 were $0.3 million and $0.8 million, respectively.

Amortization of intangible assets acquired from the Brink Software Inc. acquisition amounted to $0.2 million and $0.7 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively.

The components of identifiable intangible assets, excluding discontinued operations, are (in thousands):

The expected future amortization of intangible assets, assuming straight-line amortization of capitalized software costs and acquisition related intangibles, is as follows (in thousands):

The Company tests goodwill for impairment on an annual basis, or more often if events or circumstances indicate that there may be impairment.  The Company operates in two reportable business segments, Restaurant/Retail and Government.  Goodwill impairment testing is performed at the reporting segment level.  Goodwill is assigned to a specific reporting unit at the date the goodwill is initially recorded.  Once goodwill has been assigned to a specific reporting unit, it no longer retains its association with a particular acquisition, and all of the activities within a reporting unit, whether acquired or organically grown, are available to support the value of the goodwill.  The amount of goodwill carried by the Restaurant/Retail and Government reporting segments is $10.3 million and $0.7 million, respectively, at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016.

Note 6 — Stock Based Compensation

The Company applies the fair value recognition provisions of ASC Topic 718. The Company recorded stock based compensation of $63,000 and $301,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively.  The Company recorded stock based compensation of $190,000 and $398,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively.  The amount recorded for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 was recorded net of benefits of $1,000 and $11,000, respectively, as a result of forfeitures of unvested stock awards prior to completion of the requisite service period and/or failure to achieve performance criteria.  The amount recorded for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 was recorded net of benefits of $0 and $48,000, respectively, as a result of forfeitures of unvested stock awards prior to completion of the requisite service period and /or failure to achieve performance criteria.  At September 30, 2017, the aggregate unrecognized compensation expense related to non-vested equity awards was $0.3 million (net of estimated forfeitures), which is expected to be recognized as compensation expense in fiscal years 2017 through 2019.

For the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2017, the Company recognized compensation expense related to performance awards based on its estimate of the probability of achievement in accordance with ASC Topic 718.

 

Note 7 — Net (loss) income per share

Earnings per share are calculated in accordance with ASC Topic 260, which specifies the computation, presentation and disclosure requirements for earnings per share (EPS).  It requires the presentation of basic and diluted EPS.  Basic EPS excludes all dilution and is based upon the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period.  Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that would occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock. As there were losses for the three months ended September 30, 2017 no common share equivalents are included in the diluted per share computation. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017 there were no anti-dilutive stock options outstanding. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 there were 914,000 and 470,000 anti-dilutive stock options outstanding.

The following is a reconciliation of the weighted average of shares of common stock outstanding for the basic and diluted EPS computations (in thousands, except share and per share data):

Note 8 — Contingencies

The Company is subject to legal proceedings, which arise in the ordinary course of business. Additionally, U.S. Government contract costs are subject to periodic audit and adjustment. The Company is investigating whether certain import/export and sales documentation activities at the Company’s China and Singapore offices were improper and in possible violation of the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (“FCPA”) and other applicable laws and certain company policies. The Company voluntarily notified, and is fully cooperating with, the SEC and the U.S. Department of Justice (“DOJ”) of these activities. On May 1, 2017, the Company received a subpoena from the SEC for documents relating to the Company’s investigation. The SEC’s investigation is a non-public, fact-finding inquiry and it is not clear what action, if any, the SEC intends to take with respect to the information it gathers. If the SEC, DOJ, or other governmental agencies (including foreign governmental agencies) determine that violations of certain laws or regulations occurred, the Company could be exposed to a broad range of civil and criminal sanctions. The potential liability arising out of the China and Singapore matters or the SEC investigation cannot currently be reasonably estimated; however, the imposition of sanctions, fines or remedial measures could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, prospects, reputation, financial condition, liquidity, results of operations or cash flows.

 

Note 9 — Segment and Related Information

The Company is organized in two reportable business segments, Restaurant/Retail and Government. The Company’s chief operating decision maker is the Company’s Chief Executive Officer.  Management views the Restaurant/Retail and Government segments separately in operating its business, as the products and services are different for each segment. The Restaurant/Retail segment offers management technology solutions to restaurants and retail, including in the fast casual, quick serve and table service restaurant categories, and specialty retail outlets. These offerings include hardware and cloud and on-premise software applications utilized at the point-of-sale, back of store and corporate office, includes the Brink cloud-based point-of-sale software and the SureCheck solution, which provides food safety monitoring and intelligent checklist management." This segment also offers customer support including field service, installation, and twenty-four-hour telephone support and depot repair. The Government segment performs complex technical studies, analysis, and experiments, develops innovative solutions, and provides on-site engineering in support of advanced defense, security, and aerospace systems.  This segment also provides expert on-site services for operating and maintaining U.S. Government-owned communication assets.

Information noted as “Other” primarily relates to the Company’s corporate, home office operations.

Information as to the Company’s segments is set forth below. Amounts below exclude discontinued operations (in thousands).

 

The following table represents identifiable assets by business segment. Amounts below exclude discontinued operations (in thousands).

The following table represents assets by country based on the location of the assets. Amounts below exclude discontinued operations (in thousands).

No other customer within All Others represented more than 10% of the Company’s total revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 or 2016.

Note 10 — Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company’s financial instruments have been recorded at fair value using available market information and valuation techniques.  The fair value hierarchy is based upon three levels of input, which are:

Level 1 −

quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (observable)

Level 2 −

inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in inactive markets, or other inputs that are observable market data for essentially the full term of the asset or liability (observable)

Level 3 −

unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity, but are significant to determining the fair value of the asset or liability (unobservable)

The Company’s financial instruments consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, trade payables, debt instruments and deferred compensation assets and liabilities. For cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables and trade payables, the carrying amounts of these financial instruments as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 were considered representative of their fair values.  The estimated fair value of the Company’s long-term debt and line of credit at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 was based on variable and fixed interest rates at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively, for new issues with similar remaining maturities and approximates the respective carrying values at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016.

The deferred compensation assets and liabilities primarily relate to the Company’s deferred compensation plan, which allows for pre-tax salary deferrals for certain key employees. Changes in the fair value of the deferred compensation liabilities are derived using quoted prices in active markets of the asset selections made by the participants. The deferred compensation liabilities are classified within Level 2, as defined under U.S. GAAP, because their inputs are derived principally from observable market data by correlation to the hypothetical investments. The Company holds insurance investments to partially offset the Company’s liabilities under its deferred compensation plan, which are recorded at fair value each period using the cash surrender value of the insurance investments.

The Company has obligations, to be paid in cash, to the former owners of Brink Software Inc., based on the achievement of certain conditions defined in the September 18, 2014 stock purchase agreement governing the Brink Software, Inc. acquisition.  The fair value of this contingent consideration payable was estimated using a discounted cash flow method, with significant inputs that are not observable in the market and thus represents a Level 3 fair value measurement as defined in ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures. The significant inputs in the Level 3 measurement not supported by market activity included the Company’s probability assessments of expected future cash flows related to the Company’s acquisition of Brink Software Inc. during the contingent consideration period, appropriately discounted considering the uncertainties associated with the obligation, and calculated in accordance with the terms of the definitive agreement.  Any change in the fair value adjustment is recorded in the earnings of that period.  Changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration obligations may result from changes in probability assumptions with respect to the likelihood of achieving the various contingent payment obligations. Significant increases or decreases in the inputs noted above in isolation would result in a significantly lower or higher fair value measurements.

 

The following table presents a summary of changes in fair value of the Company’s Level 3 assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis (in thousands), and are recorded as a component of other long-term liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet:

Note 11 — Related Party Transactions

The Company leases its corporate wellness facility to related parties at a current rate of $9,775 per month. The Company receives a complimentary membership to this facility which is provided to all employees.  The Company received rental income amounting to $29,325 and $87,975 for each of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and September 30, 2016.

 

In October 2016, the Company entered into a statement of work (“SOW”) with Xpanxion LLC for software development services. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017 we incurred approximately $1.0 million of expenses to Xpanxion, LLC under the SOW. The Company did not incur any expenses to Xpanxion during the nine month period ended September 30, 2016. Until his retirement on June 30, 2017, Paul Eurek, a director of the Company, was President of Xpanxion LLC.

 

Item 2.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

When used in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (“Quarterly Report”), the terms “PAR Technology Corporation,” “Company,” “we,” “us” and “our” mean PAR Technology Corporation and all subsidiaries included in our unaudited interim consolidated financial statements. The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our unaudited interim Consolidated Financial Statements and the Notes thereto included under Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report.  See also, “Forward-Looking Statements” below.

Forward-Looking Statements

This Quarterly Report contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”), and the Private Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements are not historical in nature, but rather are predictive of our future operations, financial condition, business strategies and prospects. Forward-looking statements are generally identified by words such as “anticipate”, “believe,” “belief,” “continue,” “could”, “expect,” “estimate,” “intend,” “may,” “opportunity,” “plan,” “should,” “will,” “would,” “will likely result,” and similar expressions. Forward-looking statements are based on current expectations and assumptions that are subject to risks and uncertainties, which could cause our actual results to differ materially from those expressed in, or implied by, the forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to: delays in new product development and/or product introduction; changes in customer base; because a significant portion of our revenue is derived from two customers, a significant fluctuation in our product or service offerings to one or both of these customers; product and service demands and competition; risks associated with the ongoing investigation into possible violations of the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (“FCPA”) and similar laws, including the cost of such investigation and any sanctions, fines or remedial measures that may be imposed by the U.S. Department of Justice (“DOJ”) or the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”); expenses related to remedial measures; risks associated with our identified material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting and any other failure to maintain effective internal controls; and the other risk factors discussed in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and other filings with the SEC. We undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise, except as may be required under applicable securities law.

Overview

Our management technology solutions for the Restaurant/Retail segment features cloud and on-premise software applications, hardware platforms, and related installation, technical, and maintenance support services tailored for the needs of restaurants and retailers.  Our Government segment provides technical expertise in contract development of advanced systems and software solutions for the U.S. Department of Defense and other federal agencies, as well as management technology and communications support services to the U.S. Department of Defense.

Our products sold in the Restaurant/Retail segment are utilized in a wide range of applications by customers worldwide.  We face competition across all categories in the Restaurant/Retail segment in which we compete based on product design, innovative features and functionality, quality and reliability, price, customer service, and delivery capability.  Our strategy is to provide complete integrated management technology solutions, supported by industry leading customer service.  Our research and development efforts are focused on timely identifying changes in customer needs and/or relevant technologies, to rapidly and effectively develop innovative new products and enhancements to our existing products that meet and exceed customer requirements.

Our strategy is to expand our Restaurant/Retail business by continuing to invest in our existing products - Brink POS and SureCheck - including the development of enhancements to our existing software applications and hardware platforms and the development of new and innovative cloud based software applications. To support the growth of our products, we continue to expand our direct sales force and third-party channel partners.

 

Currently, PAR’s primary market is the quick serve restaurant category and hardware sales to tier one customers in that category. Consistent with our strategy to expand our product offerings beyond the restaurant/retail markets, we continue to focus on growing and expanding our software offerings, including our cloud software as a service (SaaS) and related hardware and support services. As we implement our strategies, we continuously monitor the trends in the markets within which we currently operate and the markets in which we intend to operate. We know POS hardware is becoming a commodity, as more POS devices (tablets, kiosks and bring your own device) are introduced, competition will continue to increase, driven by pricing, scalability, functionality, and economies of scale, resulting in smaller margins. Our strategy acknowledges this trend, and we intend to grow our recurring revenues from software contracts, specifically SaaS, reducing the impact of this commoditization of POS hardware.

The strategy for our PAR Government segment is to build on our sustained outstanding performance of existing service contracts, coupled with investments in enhanced business development capabilities. We believe we are well positioned to realize continued renewals of expiring contracts and extensions of existing contracts, and secure service and solution contracts in expanded areas within the U.S. Department of Defense and other federal agencies. We believe our highly relevant technical competencies, intellectual property, and investments in new technologies provide opportunities to offer systems integration, products, and highly-specialized service solutions to the U.S. Department of Defense and other federal agencies.  The general uncertainty in U.S. defense total workforce policies (military, civilian, and contract), procurement cycles, and spending levels for the next several years are factors we monitor as we develop and implement our business strategy for the PAR Government segment.

Internal Investigation; Update.

As previously disclosed, our Audit Committee has been overseeing an internal investigation by outside counsel into certain import/export and sales documentation activities at our China and Singapore offices, and whether these activities were improper and in violation of the FCPA and other applicable laws, and certain of our policies, including our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics. We voluntarily notified, and we are fully cooperating with, the SEC and the DOJ of these activities. On May 1, 2017, we received a subpoena from the SEC for documents relating to the investigation. The SEC’s investigation is a non-public, fact-finding inquiry. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, we recorded $2.3 million of expenses relating to our internal investigation and the SEC subpoena. It is not clear what action, if any, the SEC intends to take with respect to the information it gathers pursuant to its subpoena. If the SEC, or the DOJ or other governmental agency (including foreign governmental agencies) determine that violations of certain laws or regulations occurred, then we could be exposed to a broad range of civil and criminal sanctions, including injunctive relief, disgorgement, fines, penalties, modifications to our business practices, including the termination or modification of existing business relationships, the imposition of compliance programs and the retention of a monitor to oversee our future compliance. While we cannot currently reasonably estimate the potential liability arising out of the China and Singapore matters or the SEC investigation, the imposition of sanctions, fines or remedial measures could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, reputation, financial condition, liquidity, results of operations or cash flows.

Results of Operations —

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

We reported revenues of $48.9 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2017, a decrease of 20.4% from the $61.5 million reported for the quarter ended September 30, 2016.  Our net loss from continuing operations was $1.5 million or ($0.10) per diluted share for the third quarter of 2017 versus net income of $0.5 million or $0.03 per diluted share for the same period in 2016.

Product revenues were $20.7 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2017, a decrease of 19.6% from the $25.8 million recorded for the same period in 2016.  This decrease was primarily driven by a wind down of major project installations for our hardware solutions, with a tier one customer in our Restaurant/Retail segment.

Service revenues were $13.3 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2017, an increase of 5.5% from the $12.6 million reported for the same period in 2016, primarily due to an increase in installation services driven by an increase in tier one  product revenue and continued deployments of our Brink POS software.

Contract revenues were $14.9 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2017, compared to $23.1 million reported for the same period in 2016, a decrease of 35.5%.  The decrease reflects the execution of our transition away from high revenue, low margin awards associated with Project Management Office (“PMO”) contracts to move value-added contracts within the Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (“ISR”) line of business.

Product margins for the quarter ended September 30, 2017 were 23.4%, compared to 28.4% for the same period in 2016. Product margins for the quarter included inventory reserve adjustments of $0.7 million, unfavorably impacting margins by 360 basis points.

Service margins for the quarter ended September 30, 2017 were 24.1%, compared to 28.9% recorded for the same period in 2016. Service margins for the quarter ended September 30, 2017 included an adjustment to service costs of $0.4 million unfavorably impacting margin by 316 basis points.

 

Contract margins for the quarter ended September 30, 2017 were 8.8%, compared to 7.0% for the same period in 2016.   Our favorable margin rate was primarily driven by a continued shift in revenues from PMO to the higher value added product offerings by our Government segment of ISR and Mission Support.

                               

Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses for the quarter ended September 30, 2017 were $9.1 million, an increase of 4.4% compared to the $8.7 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2016. The increase is primarily due to investment in personnel to support the current and future growth in our Brink & SureCheck products.  SG&A expenses for the quarter ended September 30, 2017 included $0.7 million related to the investigation of conduct at our China and Singapore offices

                                   

Research and development (R&D) expenses were $2.7 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2017, a decrease of 6.9% from $2.9 million for the same period in 2016.

During each of the quarters ended September 30, 2017 and September 30, 2016, we recorded $0.2 million of amortization expense associated with acquired identifiable intangible assets from the 2014 acquisition of Brink Software Inc.

Other expense, net, was $70,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2017, compared to other expense, net of $38,000 for the same period in 2016.  Other income/expense primarily includes, fair market value fluctuations of our deferred compensation plan, rental income, and foreign currency fair value adjustments.

Interest expense, net, was interest expense of $39,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2017 compared to $12,000 for quarter ended September 30, 2016.

 

The Company's effective tax rate benefit for the third quarter was impacted by a reduction in the forecasted effective tax rate for the year due to losses in the quarter, resulting in a reversal in the third quarter of the excess rate recorded through the second quarter. Additionally, the Company recorded a discrete benefit in its tax provision for the third quarter associated with stock based compensation.

 

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2017 Compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 2016

We reported total revenues of $177.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, an increase of 4.5% from the $169.5 million reported for the nine months ended September 30, 2016.   Net income from continuing operations was $1.7 million or $0.11 per diluted share for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 versus $0.6 million or $0.04 per diluted share for the same nine-month period in 2016.

Product revenues were $90.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, an increase of 30.8% from the $69.3 million recorded for the same nine-month period in 2016.  This increase was driven by high volume of sales to our tier one customers in our domestic operations and new accounts won through deployments of Brink POS and related hardware.  The increase was offset by lower sales volume by our channel partners selling our Pixel Point product.

Service revenues were $42.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, an increase of 18.2% from the $36.1 million reported for the same nine-month period in 2016.  This increase is primarily due to an increase in installation services driven by an increase in tier one product revenue, continued deployment of our Brink POS, and an increase in our depot repair services.

Contract revenues were $43.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, compared to $64.0 million reported for the same nine-month period in 2016, a decrease of 31.6%.  The decrease reflects the execution of our transition away from high revenue, low margin awards associated with PMO contracts to move value-added contracts within the Government segment’s ISR line of business.

 

Product margins for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 were 25.1%, compared to 26.4 % for the same nine-month period in 2016.

Service margins were 30.3% for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, compared to 28.6% for the same nine-month period in 2016.  This increase was primarily driven by favorable fixed cost absorption on increased volume and continued revenue shifting to our SaaS offering.

Contract margins for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 were 10.3%, compared to 7.9% for the same nine-month period in 2016.  This increase was primarily driven by a shift in revenue from PMO to higher volume added product offerings of ISR and Mission Support in our Government segment. In addition, on a year to date basis, Mission Support and PMO showed improved margins in comparison to the prior year due to revenue mix within those respective product lines.

Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses were $27.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, an increase of 18.5%, compared to the $23.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016.  This increase is due to costs driven by investments in sales & marketing and corporate support including information technology, finance and management.

 

Research and development (R&D) expenses were $9.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, an increase of 13.1% compared to the $8.4 million for the same period in 2016.  The  increase was primarily due to our increased investment in software development costs for products associated with our Brink POS and SureCheck software applications in the Restaurant/Retail segment.

For each of the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, the Company recorded $724,000 of amortization expense associated with acquired identifiable intangible assets from the acquisition of Brink Software Inc.

Other expense, net, was $264,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and $318,000 for the same period in 2016.  Other expense/income primarily includes, fair market value fluctuations of our deferred compensation plan, rental income, and foreign currency fair value adjustments.

Interest (expense) income, net, was interest expense of $84,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to interest income of $20,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The 2016 interest income represents interest recorded on the note receivable related to the sale of PSMS’ assets in November 2015, offset by interest charged on our short-term borrowings and from long-term debt.

The Company’s effective tax rate for the nine months (year-to-date) was 15.9% due to a discrete tax benefit associated with stock based compensation.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our primary sources of liquidity have been cash flow from operations and borrowings under our Credit Facility with JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A. Cash used in operating activities from continuing operations was $7.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, compared to cash used in operating activities from continuing operations of $2.4 million for the same period in 2016.  This increase in cash used in operating activities was primarily driven by third quarter hardware deployed during 2017 associated with customer deposits received in the fourth quarter of 2016 from one of our tier one accounts and a reduction in accounts payable. For the nine months ended September 30, 2016 cash used in operations was mostly due to changes in working capital requirements, primarily associated with increases in inventory procurement and offset by an increase in accounts payable.

Cash used in investing activities from continuing operations was $7.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 versus $4.7 million used in investing activities from continuing operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2016.  In the nine months ended September 30, 2017, our capital expenditures of $3.9 million were primarily related to the implementation of our enterprise resource planning system and capital improvements made to our owned and leased properties. We capitalized $3.3 million in costs associated with investments in our Restaurant/Retail segment software platforms.  In the nine months ended September 30, 2016, our capital expenditures of $1.8 million were primarily related to our enterprise resource planning system, capital improvements to leased properties, as well as purchases of computer equipment associated with our software support service offerings.  We capitalized $1.9 million in costs associated with investments in our Restaurant/Retail segment software platforms. Additionally, the Company made an agreed upon working capital payment of $1.0 million in regard to the sale of the hotel/spa technology business unit.

Cash provided by financing activities from continuing operations was $6.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 versus cash provided by financing activities of continuing operations of $2.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016.  This change was a result of borrowings on our line of credit under our Credit Facility, proceeds from stock options, and receipt of $4.2 million related to the 2015 sale of hotel/spa technology business. See Note 2 - Divestiture and Discontinued Operations - of our unaudited interim consolidated financial statements.

 

On November 29, 2016, we, together with certain of our U.S. subsidiaries entered into a three-year credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“JPMorgan Chase”). The Credit Agreement provides for revolving loans in an aggregate principal amount of up to $15.0 million, with availability thereunder equal to the lesser of (i) $15.0 million and (ii) a borrowing base (equal to the sum of 80% eligible accounts, 50% eligible raw materials inventory and 35% eligible finished goods inventory, with no more than 50% of total eligible inventory included in the borrowing base), less the aggregate principal amount outstanding (the “Credit Facility”). Interest accrues on outstanding principal balances at an applicable rate per annum determined, as of the end of each fiscal quarter, by reference to the CBFR Spread or the Eurodollar Spread based on the Company’s consolidated indebtedness ratio as at the determination date. The Credit Agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants, including covenants that restrict the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries to incur additional indebtedness, incur or permit to exist liens on assets, make investments, loans, advances, guarantees and acquisitions, consolidate or merge, pay dividends and make distributions, and financial covenants, requiring that the Company’s consolidated indebtedness ratio not exceed 3.0 to 1.0 and, a fixed charge coverage ratio of not less than 1.25 to 1.0 for each fiscal quarter. In August 2017, we entered into an Omnibus Amendment Number 1 to Loan Documents with JPMorgan Chase to provide the Company with more flexibility in its use of its assets and a waiver of any default relating to the location of certain collateral.  We were in compliance with the Credit Agreement as of September 30, 2017. On September 30, 2017, there was $1.5 million outstanding and up to $13.5 million available under the Credit Agreement.

 

In addition to the Credit Facility, the Company has a mortgage loan, collateralized by certain real estate, with a balance of $0.4 million and $0.6 million as of September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.  This loan matures on November 1, 2019.  Interest is fixed at 4.00% through maturity.  The annual loan payment, including interest through November 1, 2019, is $0.2 million.

We expect our operating cash flows and available capacity under our Credit Facility will be sufficient to meet our operating needs for the next 12 months. Our actual cash needs will depend on many factors, including our rate of revenue growth, including growth of our SaaS revenues, the timing and extent of spending to support our product development efforts, the timing of introductions of new products and enhancements to existing products, market acceptance of our products, and  potential fines and penalties that, while currently inestimable, could be material (see Item 1A – “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016 for further discussion about the potential adverse effect of such fines and penalties on our business).  If we are required or otherwise elect to seek additional funding, we cannot be certain that such additional funding will be available on terms and conditions acceptable to us, if at all.

Our unaudited interim consolidated financial statements are based on the application of U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”).  GAAP requires the use of estimates, assumptions, judgments and subjective interpretations of accounting principles that have an impact on the assets, liabilities, revenue and expense amounts reported.  We believe our use of estimates and underlying accounting assumptions adhere to GAAP and are consistently applied.  Valuations based on estimates are reviewed for reasonableness and adequacy on a consistent basis.  Primary areas where financial information is subject to the use of estimates, assumptions and the application of judgment include revenue recognition, accounts receivable, inventories, accounting for business combinations, contingent consideration, goodwill and intangible assets, and taxes. Our critical accounting policies have not changed materially from the discussion of those policies included under “Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

In May 2014, the FASB amended the existing accounting standards for revenue recognition. The amendments are based on the principle that revenue should be recognized to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The guidance provides a five-step analysis of transactions to determine when and how revenue is recognized.  The guidance also requires enhanced disclosures regarding the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from an entity’s contracts with customers.  The new guidance will be effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2018.

The standard permits the use of either the full retrospective or modified retrospective transition method. The Company expects to adopt the standard under the modified retrospective transition method, which may result in an adjustment to retained earnings for the cumulative effect, if any, of applying the standard to active contracts as of the adoption date. As this method does not result in recast of the prior year financial statements, ASC 606 requires the Company to provide additional disclosures during the year of adoption for the amount by which each financial statement line item is affected by adoption of the new standard and explanation of the reasons for significant changes.

 

In 2017, the Company has prioritized the evaluation of the impact of the new standard on its revenue contracts, including consideration of the application of the new standard’s five-step model on the Company’s current revenue contracts, evaluating the new enhanced disclosure requirements and the data required to prepare such disclosures, and identifying appropriate changes to business processes, information technology systems, and internal controls, where necessary, to support revenue recognition and disclosure requirements under the new guidance. We have been evaluating the impact of applying the new standard’s five-step model on our Restaurant/Retail and Government revenue contracts, including identifying the distinct performance obligations within such arrangements and evaluating the best-estimate of selling prices and the timing of recognizing revenue for such performance obligations.  We continue to evaluate the potential quantitative impacts of adoption of the standard to the cumulative adjustment to be recorded on January 1, 2018, as well as to our continuing operations in 2018; however, we currently do not believe there will be effects that significantly alter the timing of revenue recognition.  We believe the most significant impacts of adoption of the new standard will be the expanded qualitative and quantitative disclosures required. The Company has made progress in its assessment of the impact of the new revenue recognition standard; however, efforts to quantify the impact upon adoption remain ongoing.

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02 impacting the accounting for leases intending to increase transparency and comparability of organizations by requiring balance sheet presentation of leased assets and increased financial statement disclosure of leasing arrangements. The revised standard will require entities to recognize a liability for its lease obligations and a corresponding asset representing the right to use the underlying asset over the lease term. Lease obligations are to be measured at the present value of lease payments and accounted for using the effective interest method. The accounting for the leased asset will differ slightly depending on whether the agreement is deemed to be a financing or operating lease. For finance leases, the leased asset is depreciated on a straight-line basis and recorded separately from the interest expense in the income statement resulting in higher expense in the earlier part of the lease term. For operating leases, the depreciation and interest expense components are combined, recognized evenly over the term of the lease, and presented as a reduction to operating income. The ASU requires that assets and liabilities be presented or disclosed separately and classified appropriately as current and noncurrent. The ASU further requires additional disclosure of certain qualitative and quantitative information related to lease agreements. The new standard is effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of 2019. We are currently evaluating the impact of these amendments on our consolidated financial statements.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-01 clarifying 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. The amendments in this update affect all reporting entities that must determine whether they have acquired or sold a business.  This guidance clarifies that to be a business there must also be at least one substantive process, and narrows the definition of outputs by more closely aligning it with how outputs are described in the new revenue recognition standard. The amendments in this update should be applied prospectively on or after the annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those periods. The adoption of this standards update is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04 intended to simplify the subsequent measurement of goodwill. The amendments in this Update modify the concept of impairment from the condition that exists when the carrying amount of goodwill exceeds its implied fair value to the condition that exists when the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value. An entity no longer will 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. Because these amendments eliminate Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test, they should reduce the cost and complexity of evaluating goodwill for impairment.  The standards update is effective on a prospective basis for annual and interim goodwill impairment testing performed in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. The adoption of this standards update is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

 

In May 2017, the FASB issued an accounting standards update which provides guidance about which changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award require an entity to apply modification accounting in Topic 718.  This update requires modification only if the fair value, vesting conditions or the classification of the award changes as a result of the change in terms or conditions. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods therein, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of this standards update is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In March 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU 2016-09 to simplify several aspects of the accounting for employee share-based payment transactions standard, including the classification of excess tax benefits and deficiencies and the accounting for employee forfeitures. The guidance was effective for the Company beginning in the quarter ended March 31, 2017 2017 at which time we adopted this new standard.  The updates to the accounting standard include the following:

•

Excess tax benefits and deficiencies no longer are recognized as a change in additional paid-in-capital in the equity section of the balance sheet, instead they are recognized in the income statement as a tax expense or benefit. In the statement of cash flows, excess tax benefits and deficiencies are no longer classified as a financing activity, instead they are classified as an operating activity.

•

Entities have the option to continue to reduce share-based compensation expense during the vesting period of outstanding awards for estimated future employee forfeitures or they may elect to recognize the impact of forfeitures as they actually occur. The Company will continue to reduce the share based compensation expense during the vesting period of outstanding rewards for estimated future forfeitures.

•

The ASU also provides new guidance to other areas of the standard including minimum statutory tax withholding rules and the calculation of diluted common shares outstanding. The adoption of this provision will be reflected prospectively in the financial statements and did not have a material impact.

The adoption of the new standard in the first quarter of 2017 did not have a significant impact on our unaudited interim consolidated financial statements.

In November 2015, the FASB issued new guidance related to the balance sheet classification of deferred taxes.  This standard requires an entity to classify all deferred tax assets, along with any valuation allowance, as noncurrent on the balance sheet. As a result, each jurisdiction will have one net noncurrent deferred tax asset or liability.  The Company adopted this standard in the first quarter of 2017, which resulted in the Company’s reclassification of deferred tax assets from current assets to non-current assets in the amount of $7.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016.

In July 2015, the FASB issued new guidance related to the measurement of inventory.  This standard changes the inventory valuation method from the lower of cost or market to the lower of cost or net realizable value for inventory valued under the first-in, first-out or average cost methods.  The implementation of the amended accounting guidance did not have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Item 4.

Controls and Procedures

Internal Investigation; Material Weaknesses

As previously disclosed, our Audit Committee has been overseeing an internal investigation by outside counsel focused on whether certain import/export and sales documentation activities at our China and Singapore offices were improper and in possible violation of the FCPA and other applicable laws, and certain of our policies, including our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics. Based on the investigation findings to date, we discovered that certain members of our China and Singapore staff participated in or were aware of improper activities in China and Singapore, involving the improper bypassing of applicable customs laws of various countries. Such activities in China and Singapore included the failure to properly label items for import into various non-U.S. countries and the failure to properly document the declared value of certain items exported to various non-U.S. countries, as well as questionable payments made to customs officials in China without sufficient documentation to evidence or confirm the legitimacy of their purpose. The investigation also revealed that certain members of upper management knew or should have known of the questionable conduct, but failed to take action to prevent or correct such conduct.

Notwithstanding remedial actions taken through September 30, 2017, our management concluded that the material weaknesses identified as a result of the investigation and described below, continue to exist as of September 30, 2017. Specifically,

 

·

we did not maintain a control environment that effectively promoted, maintained, and/or supported the control consciousness of employees or a culture of adequate and prompt reporting of information internally;

·

we failed to maintain sufficient monitoring activities to ensure compliant and consistent global practices and procedures and timely detection of deviations, allowing for timely corrective action; and

·

our policies, procedures, and training were insufficient as to procurement and sales activities, including insufficient documentation involving arrangements with third parties, knowledge of, and compliance with, import/export, customs and similar laws and regulations of international jurisdictions and the FCPA, including deficiencies in our training.

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the design and operating effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of September 30, 2017. Based on that evaluation, and as a result of the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting previously reported and described above, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of September 30, 2017. However, it has been determined that no material adjustments, restatements, or other amendments to our previously issued financial statements are required.

 

Remediation Efforts to Address Material Weaknesses.

A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

 

As we previously disclosed, we have developed and we have begun to implement changes in our internal control over financial reporting to remediate our material weaknesses; and, we are currently implementing our comprehensive compliance program which is focused on both domestic and international anti-bribery, trade control, and other laws, rules, and regulations, and includes new and revised policies. These additional measures are intended to address the above deficiencies and ensure a continuous and effective control environment that not only encourages, but demands compliance and provides processes and procedures for the timely reporting of necessary and/or required information to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

We caution that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.

Changes in Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting.

In evaluating whether there were any reportable changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended September 30, 2017, we determined that, other than the changes described above under “Remediation Efforts to Address Material Weaknesses”, there were no changes in internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended September 30, 2017 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. However, we do anticipate further changes will be implemented to remedy the material weaknesses identified above.

Item 1A.

Risk Factors

There have been no material changes in our risk factors from those disclosed in Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors, in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016, filed with the SEC on April 17, 2017, as supplemented by the disclosure in Part II, Item 1A Risk Factors, in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2017, filed May 15, 2017.

 

Item 2.

Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use Of Proceeds

Under our equity incentive plans, recipients of restricted stock grants must pay us, in cash, the par value for each share granted. If the vesting requirements are not satisfied, we will repurchase the forfeited shares at par value. In addition, employees may elect to have us withhold shares to satisfy minimum statutory federal, state and local tax withholding obligations arising from the vesting of their restricted stock. When we withhold these shares, we are required to remit to the appropriate taxing authorities the market price of the shares withheld, which could be deemed a purchase of shares by us on the date of withholding. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, 1,714 shares were purchased at an average price of $9.67 per share.
