Note 1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies

 

Organization and Business Operations

Basis of Presentation

 

The condensed financial statements included herein have been prepared by us without audit pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019 filed with the SEC on March 23, 2020. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted as permitted by the SEC, although we believe the disclosures that are made are adequate to make the information presented herein not misleading.

 

The accompanying condensed financial statements reflect, in our opinion, all normal recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly our financial position at March 31, 2020 and the results of our operations and cash flows for the periods presented. We derived the December 31, 2019 condensed balance sheet data from audited financial statements; however, we did not include all disclosures required by GAAP.

 

Interim results are subject to seasonal variations, and the results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates. Significant accounting estimates in these financial statements include valuation assumptions for share-based payments, allowance for doubtful accounts and notes receivable, inventory reserves, accrual for warranty reserves, the carrying value of long-lived assets and intangible assets, income tax valuation allowances, the carrying value of cost basis investments, and the allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in our contracts with customers.

 

Reclassifications

 

Certain reclassifications have been made to the 2019 financial statements to conform to the 2020 financial statement presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on net earnings or cash flows as previously reported.

 

F-5
 

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (the “FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customer (Topic 606) (“ASC 606”) on January 1, 2018 and the Company elected to use the modified retrospective transition method which requires application of ASC 606 to uncompleted contracts at the date of adoption. The adoption of ASC 606 did not have a material impact on the financial statements.

 

Under ASC 606, the Company must identify the contract with a customer, identify the performance obligations in the contract, determine the transaction price, allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, and recognize revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies a performance obligation. Significant judgment is necessary when making these determinations.

 

The Company’s primary sources of revenue are derived from simulator and accessories sales, training and installation, the sale of customizable software and the sale of extended service-type warranties. Sales discounts are presented in the financial statements as reductions in determining net revenues. Credit sales are recorded as current assets (accounts receivable and unbilled revenue). Prepaid deposits received at the time of sale and extended warranties purchased are recorded as current and long-term liabilities (deferred revenue) until earned. The following briefly summarizes the nature of our performance obligations and method of revenue recognition:

 

Performance Obligation   Method of Recognition
     
Simulator and accessories   Upon transfer of control
     
Installation and training   Upon completion or over the period of services being rendered
     
Extended service-type warranty   Deferred and recognized over the life of the extended warranty
     
Customized software and content   Upon transfer of control or over the period services are performed depending on the terms of the contract
     
Customized content scenario   As performance obligation is transferred over time (input method using time and materials expanded)
     
Sales-based royalty exchanged for license of intellectual property   Recognized as the performance obligation is satisfied over time – which is as the sales occur.

 

The Company recognizes revenue upon transfer of control or upon completion of the services for the simulator and accessories; for the installation and training and customized software performance obligations as the customer has the right and ability to direct the use of these products and services and the customer obtains substantially all of the remaining benefit from these products and services at that time. Revenue from certain customized content contracts may be recognized over the period the services are performed based on the terms of the contract. For the sales-based royalty exchanged for license of intellectual property, the Company recognized revenue as the sales occur over time.

 

The Company recognizes revenue on a straight-line basis over the period of services being rendered for the extended service-type warranties as these warranties represent a performance obligation to “stand ready to perform” over the duration of the warranties. As such, the warranty service is performed continuously over the warranty period.

 

Each contract states the transaction price. The contracts do not include variable consideration, significant financing components or noncash consideration. The Company has elected to exclude sales and similar taxes from the measurement of the transaction price. The contract’s transaction price is allocated to the performance obligations based upon their stand-alone selling prices. Discounts to the stand-alone selling prices, if any, are allocated proportionately to each performance obligation.

 

Disaggregation of Revenue

 

Under ASC 606, disaggregated revenue from contracts with customers depicts the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows affected by economic factors. The Company has evaluated revenues recognized and the following table illustrates the disaggregation disclosure by customer’s location and performance obligation.

   For the Three Months Ended March 31, 
   2020   2019 
   Commercial   Government   International   Total   Commercial   Government   International   Total

Extended service-type warranties   18,441    568,079   $62,600    649,120    29,950    477,157    3,366    510,473

For the three months ended March 31, 2020, governmental customers comprised $2,918,693, or 87% of total net sales, commercial customers comprised $72,350, or 2% of total net sales, and international customers comprised $347,120, or 10% of total net sales. By comparison, for the three months ended March 31, 2019, governmental customers comprised $2,616,814, or 86% of total net sales, commercial customer comprised $388,025, or 13% of total net sales, and international customers comprised $46,499, or 2% of total net sales.

 

Customer Deposits

 

Customer deposits are recorded as a current liability under deferred revenue on the accompanying balance sheets and totaled $1,270,747 and $651,073 as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. Changes in deferred revenue amounts related to customer deposits will fluctuate from year to year based upon the mix of customers required to prepay deposits under the Company’s credit policy. Customer deposits are considered a deferred liability until completion of the customer’s contract performance obligations. When revenue is recognized, the deposit is applied to the customer’s receivable balance.

 

Warranty

 

The Company warranties its products from manufacturing defects on a limited basis for a period of one year after purchase, but also sells separately priced extended service-type warranties for periods of up to four years after the expiration of the standard one-year warranty. During the term of the initial one-year warranty, if the device fails to operate properly from defects in materials and workmanship, the Company will fix or replace the defective product. Deferred revenue for separately priced extended warranties one year or less totaled $1,675,019 and $1,829,052 as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. Deferred revenue for separately priced extended warranties longer than one year totaled $1,863,921 and $1,748,257 as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. The accrual for the one-year manufacturer’s warranty liability totaled $360,176 and $331,176 as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company recognized revenue of $649,120 and $510,473, respectively, related to the extended service-type warranties that was amortized from the deferred revenue balance at the beginning of each period. Changes in deferred revenue amounts related to extended service-type warranties will fluctuate from year to year based upon the average remaining life of the warranties at the beginning of the period and new extended service-type warranties sold during the period.

Customer retainage is recorded as a current liability under deferred revenue on the accompanying balance sheets and totaled $10,720 as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019. Changes in deferred revenue amounts related to customer retainage will fluctuate from year to year based upon the customer’s contract completion date allowing the Company to invoice and be paid the retainage.

 

Licensing and Royalties with Related Party

 

As discussed further in Note 8. Collaboration Agreement with Related Party, the Company licenses intellectual property to Modern Round, LLC (“MR”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of That’s Eatertainment Corp. (“TEC”), a related party, in exchange for sales-based royalties. Revenues from this agreement are recognized in accordance with the terms of the contract as the sales occur. The Company receives additional immaterial sales-based royalties from strategic partners.

STEP Revenue

 

The Company’s Subscription Training Equipment Partnership (STEPTM) operations consist principally of renting its simulator products under operating agreements expiring in one year. At the commencement of a STEP agreement, any rental payments received are deferred and no income is recognized. Subsequently, payments are amortized and recognized as revenue on a straight-line basis over the term of the agreement. The agreements are generally for a period of 12 months and can be renewed for additional 12-month periods. Agreements may be terminated by either party upon written notice of termination at lease sixty days prior to the end of the 12-month period. The payments are generally fixed for the first year of the agreement, with increases in payments in subsequent years to be mutually agreed upon. The agreements do not include variable lease payments or free rent periods. In addition, the agreements do not provide for the underlying assets to be purchased at its fair market values at interim periods or at maturity. Each STEP agreement comes with full customer support and stand-ready advance replacement parts to maintain each system for the duration of the lease. The amount that the Company expects to derive from the STEP equipment following the end of the agreement term is dependent upon the number of agreement terms renewed. The agreements do not include a residual value guarantee.

 

Adoption of New Accounting Standards

 

 

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326), which together with subsequent amendments provides guidance on measuring credit losses on financial instruments. The amended guidance replaces current incurred loss impairment methodology of recognizing credit losses when a loss is probable with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to assess credit loss estimates. ASU 2016-13 and related amendments are effective for us on January 1, 2020, the adoption of 2016-13 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

 

In November 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-18, Collaborative Arrangements (Topic 808): Clarifying the Interaction between Topic 808 and Topic 606, which clarifies that certain transactions between participants in a collaborative arrangement should be accounted for under ASC 606 when the counterparty is a customer. In addition, Topic 808 precludes an entity from presenting consideration from a transaction in a collaborative arrangement as revenue from contracts with customers if the counterparty is not a customer for that transaction. This guidance will be effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2020, the adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

 

Fair Value Measurements

 

ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements, defines fair value as the price that would be received in the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Topic 820 also specifies a fair value hierarchy that requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value as follows:

 

Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

 

Level 2: Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; 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: Valuation is generated from model-based techniques that use significant assumptions not observable in the market. These unobservable assumptions reflect our own estimate of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, certificates of deposit, accounts receivable, notes and interest receivables, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities. The fair value of financial instruments, except for long-term notes receivable, approximates their carrying values, using level 3 inputs, at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 due to their short maturities. The fair value of the note receivable approximates its carrying value, using level 3 inputs, at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019.

 

F-8
 

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of 90 days or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents.

 

Certificates of Deposit and Mutual Funds

 

The Company invests its excess cash in certificates of deposit and money market mutual funds issued by financial institutions with high credit ratings. The certificates of deposit generally have average maturities of approximately six months and are subject to penalties for early withdrawal. The money market mutual funds are open ended and can be withdrawn at any time without penalty.

 

Accounts and Notes Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

 

The Company recognizes an allowance for losses on accounts receivable based on an analysis of historical bad debt experience, current receivables aging, and expected future write-offs, as well as an assessment of specific identifiable customer accounts considered at risk or uncollectible. Accounts receivable do not bear interest and are charged off after all reasonable collection efforts have been taken. The Company maintained an allowance for doubtful accounts of $33,354 and $34,177 at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.

 

Notes receivable are carried at their estimated collectible amounts. Interest income on notes receivable is recognized using the effective interest method. Notes receivable are periodically evaluated for collectability based on the credit history and the current financial condition of the counter party, and the known and inherent risks in the notes. Notes receivable are placed on nonaccrual status when they become 90 days past due and the customer has not made a payment in over 60 days. Upon suspension of the accrual of interest, interest income is subsequently recognized to the extent cash payments are received. Accrual of interest is resumed when notes are removed from non-accrual status. Notes receivable are charged against the allowance for credit losses when they are deemed to be uncollectible. The allowance for uncollectible notes receivable was $9,340 and $5,701 at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.

 

Inventory

 

Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value with cost being determined on the average cost method. Work in progress and finished goods inventory includes an allocation for capitalized labor and overhead. The Company routinely evaluates the carrying value of inventory for slow moving and potentially obsolete inventory and, when appropriate, will record an adjustment to reduce inventory to its estimated net realizable value. As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, inventory reserves were $120,652.

 

Leases

 

The Company categorized leases with contractual terms longer than twelve months as either operating or finance leases. Finance leases are generally those leases that allow the Company to substantially utilize or pay for the entire asset over its estimated life. All other leases are categorized as operating leases. As of March 31, 2020, the Company had no finance leases. Certain lease contracts include obligations to pay for other services, such as maintenance. The Company elected to account for these other services as a component of the lease (i.e. the Company elected the practical expedient not to separate lease and non-lease components). Lease liabilities are recognized as the present value of the fixed lease payments using a discount rate based on the Company’s current borrowing rate at the lease commencement date, adjusted for various factors including level of collateralization and term (the “incremental borrowing rate”), unless the rate implicit in the lease is readily determinable. The current portion of lease liabilities is included in “Current liabilities” and the noncurrent portion included in “Long-term liabilities.” Lease assets are recognized based on the initial present value of the fixed lease payments, plus any direct costs from executing the lease or lease prepayments reclassified. Lease assets are presented as “Operating lease right-of-use asset” as a long-term asset. Leasehold improvements are capitalized at cost and amortized over the lesser of their expected useful life or the lease term. Costs associated with operating lease assets are recognized on a straight-line basis within operating expenses over the term of the lease.

 

Investments in Other Companies

 

The Company accounts for investments in other companies that do not have readily determinable fair value at cost minus impairment, if any, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or a similar investment of the same issuer. The Company has elected to utilize the cost minus impairment approach because the investment in TEC does not have a readily determinable fair value as of the reporting date. See Note 8. Collaboration Agreement with Related Party.

 

F-9
 

 

Management regularly evaluates the recoverability of its investment based on the investee company’s performance and financial position. During the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company did not recognize any impairment loss. Management regularly assesses the classification of its investments.

 

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment are carried at cost, net of depreciation. Gains or losses related to retirements or disposition of fixed assets are recognized in operations in the period incurred. Costs of normal repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred, while betterments or renewals are capitalized. Depreciation commences at the time the assets are placed in service or for STEP equipment under rental agreements, when the equipment is made available for use by the customer. Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated economic lives of the assets or for leasehold improvements, over the shorter of the estimated useful life or the remaining lease term. For STEP equipment under rental agreements, depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over the shorter of the useful life or 5-year maximum term of the agreement. Estimated useful lives are summarized as follows:

 

Computer equipment     3-5 years  
Furniture and office equipment     5-7 years  
Machinery and equipment     5-7 years  
STEP equipment     5 years  
Leasehold improvements     7 years  

 

Intangible Assets

 

Intangible assets at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 are comprised of various patents and capitalized media content costs. We compute amortization expense on the intangible assets using the straight-line method over the estimate remaining useful lives.

 

Cost of Products Sold

 

Cost of products sold represents manufacturing costs, consisting of materials, labor and overhead related to finished goods and components. Cost of products sold includes depreciation of STEP contract fixed assets. Shipping costs incurred related to product delivery are included in cost of products sold.

 

Advertising Costs

 

Costs associated with advertising are expensed as incurred. Advertising expense was $138,236 and $119,403 for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. These costs include domestic and international tradeshows, website, and sales promotional materials.

 

Research and Development Costs

 

Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Research and development costs primarily include expenses, including labor, directly related to research and development support. Research and development costs were $329,755 and $355,641 for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

 

Legal Costs

 

Legal costs relating to loss contingencies are expensed as incurred. See Note 10. Commitments and Contingencies.

 

Concentration of Credit Risk and Major Customers and Suppliers

 

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash and cash equivalents, certificates of deposit, accounts receivable and notes receivable.

 

The Company’s cash, cash equivalents and certificates of deposit are maintained with financial institutions with high credit standings and are FDIC insured deposits. The FDIC insures deposits according to the ownership category in which the funds are insured and how the accounts are titled. The standard deposit insurance coverage limit is $250,000 per depositor, per FDIC-insured bank, per ownership category. The Company had uninsured cash and cash equivalents of $2,615,647 and $1,069,887 as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.

Sales are typically made on credit and the Company generally does not require collateral. Management performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition and maintains an allowance for estimated losses. Historically, the Company has experienced minimal charges relative to doubtful accounts.

 

Sales are typically made on credit and the Company generally does not require collateral. Management performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition and maintains an allowance for estimated losses. Historically, the Company has experienced minimal charges relative to doubtful accounts.

 

Management performs ongoing evaluations of the collectability of its notes receivable and maintains an allowance for estimated losses. The Company’s remaining note receivable is due from one related party and is unsecured but the note can be converted to equity at the Company’s discretions (See Note 2. Notes Receivable and Note 8. Collaboration Agreement with Related Party.)

 

Historically, the Company primarily sells its products to United States federal and state agencies. For the three months ended March 31, 2020, one federal agency comprised 17% and one state agency comprised 15% of total net sales. By comparison, for the three months ended March 31, 2019, one federal agency comprised 12% of total net sales.

 

As of March 31, 2020, one federal agency comprised 13%, one state agency comprised 34% and two international customers comprised 12% and 14% of total accounts receivable. By comparison, as of December 31, 2019, one federal agency comprised 30% and one international customer comprised of 20% of total accounts receivable.

 

Income Taxes

 

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded based on the difference between the financial statement and the tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The Company calculates a provision for income taxes using the asset and liability method, under which deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized by identifying the temporary differences arising from the different treatment of items for tax and accounting purposes. In determining the future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the financial statements or tax returns, judgment and interpretation of statutes are required.

 

In assessing realizable deferred tax assets, management assesses the likelihood that deferred tax assets will be recovered from future taxable income, and to the extent that recovery is not likely or there is insufficient operating history, a valuation allowance is established. The Company adjusts the valuation allowance in the period management determines it is more likely than not that net deferred tax assets will or will not be realized. After review of the deferred tax asset and valuation allowance in accordance with ASC 740, management determined that it is more likely than not that the Company will fully realize all of its deferred tax asset and no valuation allowance was recorded as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019.

 

The Company did not recognize any assets or liabilities relative to uncertain tax positions at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019. Interest or penalties, if any, will be recognized in income tax expense. Since there are no significant unrecognized tax benefits as a result of tax positions taken, there are no accrued penalties or interest. Tax positions are positions taken in a previously filed tax return or positions expected to be taken in a future tax return that are reflected in measuring current or deferred income tax assets and liabilities reported in the financial statements.

 

The Company reflects tax benefits, only if it is more likely than not that the Company will be able to sustain the tax return position, based on its technical merits. If a tax benefit meets this criterion, it is measured and recognized based on the largest amount of benefit that is cumulatively greater than 50% likely to be realized. Management does not believe that there are any uncertain tax positions at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019.

 

The Company is potentially subject to tax audits for its United States federal and various state income and excise tax returns for tax years between 2015 and 2020; however, earlier years may be subject to audit under certain circumstances. Tax audits by their very nature are often complex and can require several years to complete.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Intangible Assets

 

Long-lived assets, such as equipment, and intangible assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. Fair value is determined based on discounted cash flows or appraised values, depending on the nature of the asset. At March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company concluded that there has been no indication of impairment to the carrying value of its long-lived assets. As such, no impairment has been recorded.

 

Stock Based Compensation

 

The Company measures the cost of awards of equity instruments based on the grant date fair value of the awards. The Company calculates the fair value of stock-based awards using the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing valuation model, which incorporates various assumptions including volatility, expected term and risk-free interest rates. There were no grants of stock-based awards during the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019.

 

The expected term of the options is the estimated period of time until exercise and was determined using an average of vesting and contractual terms, as we did not have sufficient historical experience of similar awards. The risk-free interest rate is based on the implied yield available on United States Treasury zero-coupon issues with an equivalent remaining term. The Company has not paid dividends in the past and does not plan to pay any dividends in the near future. The estimated fair value of stock-based compensation awards and other options is amortized to expense on a straight-line basis over the relevant vesting period. The Company has elected to recognize forfeitures as they occur rather than estimating them at the time of grant.

 

New Accounting Pronouncements

 

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (“ASU 2019-12”). ASU 2019-12 simplifies the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740. ASU 2019-12 also simplifies aspects of accounting for franchise taxes and clarifies the accounting for transactions that result in a step-up in the tax basis of goodwill. ASU 2019-12 is effective for annual and interim financial statement periods beginning after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2019-12 on its financial statements.

Note 2. Notes Receivable, Related Party

 

The Company accepted an unsecured convertible promissory note (the “Convertible Note”) from TEC, a related party (see Note 8), in the amount of $292,138 for a portion of their minimum royalty payment due as of May 31, 2018. The note bears interest at the rate of 5% per annum and contains a provision requiring remittance of not less than 20% of the net proceeds of any private or public offering of its securities in reduction of the Convertible Note. The note has a conversion right, at the sole discretion of the Company, to convert the outstanding balance of principal and accrued interest at any time for shares of common stock of TEC. Prior to the due date, the Company may elect to convert the Convertible Note for shares of common stock in TEC at a 25% discount to the price of shares sold to the public in a public offering in connection with a go-public transaction. The issuance of common stock upon conversion shall be made without charge to the Company. No fractional shares shall be issued upon conversion and in lieu of fractional shares, TEC will pay the Company the amount of any obligation that is not converted. Any unpaid balance of principal and accrued interest becomes due and collectible on the earlier of (i) August 1, 2019 (maturity date), or (ii) if declared due and payable in the event of Default. In July 2019, the Convertible Note’s maturity date was extended to August 2020, all other promissory note terms remain unchanged. Under the terms of the Convertible Note, TEC remitted a payment of $16,000, of which $14,972 was applied to accrued interest and $1,028 to principal. The Convertible Note’s principal and accrued interest due as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 was $300,450 and $296,811, respectively. Because the Convertible Note is from a related party and has a history of being extended, the asset may not be converted to cash within one year and is therefore classified as long-term asset. Additionally, a reserve for collectability has been recorded as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 totaling $9,340 and $5,701, respectively. See Note 8-Collaboration Agreement with Related Party.

 

Note 3. Inventory

Amortization expense was $2,222 and $1,481 for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

 

Note 6. Leases

 

The Company leases approximately 37,729 rentable square feet of office and warehouse space from an unaffiliated third party for our corporate office, manufacturing, assembly, warehouse and shipping facility located at 7970 South Kyrene Road, Tempe, Arizona 85284. From 2016 through March 2019, the Company leased approximately 4,529 rentable square feet of office and industrial space from an unaffiliated third party for our machine shop at 2169 East 5th St., Tempe, Arizona 85284. In April 2019, the Company relocated the machine shop from the Fifth St. location to 7910 South Kyrene Road, located within the same business complex as our main office. The Company executed a lease amendment to add an additional 5,131 rentable square feet for the machine shop and extended its existing office lease through April 2024. The Company’s lease agreements do not contain any residual value guarantees, restrictive covenants or variable lease payments. The Company has not entered into any financing leases.

 

In addition to base rent, the Company’s lease generally provides for additional payments for other charges, such as rental tax. The lease includes fixed rent escalations. The Company’s lease does not include an option to renew.

 

The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating leases are recorded in operating lease right of use assets, net, operating lease liability – short term, and operating lease liability – long-term on its condensed balance sheet.

 

Operating lease assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent its obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease assets and liabilities are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. As the Company’s lease does not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. The incremental borrowing rate used at adoption was 4.5%. Significant judgement is required when determining the Company’s incremental borrowing rate. The Company uses the implicit rate when readily determinable. Lease expense for lease payments are recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

 

Effective January 1, 2019, the Company obtained a right-of-use asset in exchange for a new operating lease liability in the amount of $1,721,380 and derecognized $46,523 deferred rent for an adjusted operating lease right-of-use asset in the net amount of $1,674,857.

Note 8. Collaboration Agreement with Related Party

 

On January 16, 2015, the Company entered into a Co-Venture Agreement (the “Co-Venture Agreement”) with MR, a wholly-owned subsidiary of TEC, a related party. The Co-Venture Agreement grants TEC an exclusive non-transferrable license to use the Company’s technology and certain equipment solely for use at locations to operate the concept, as defined in the Co-Venture Agreement. Additionally, under the terms of the Co-Venture Agreement, equity representing 5% of MR’s ownership interest, on a fully-diluted basis, was issued to the Company. Throughout the duration of the Co-Venture Agreement, TEC will pay the Company a royalty based on gross revenue, as defined and subject to certain minimum royalties commencing with the first 12-month period subsequent to the respective milestone date of June 1, 2017. Under the terms of the original agreement, if the total royalty payments for locations in the United States and Canada together do not total at least the minimum royalty amount specified in the agreement, TEC may pay to VirTra the difference between the amount of total royalty payments and the minimum specified in the agreement to maintain exclusivity.

 

On August 16, 2017, the Company entered into the first amendment to the Co-Venture Agreement to permit TEC to sublicense the VirTra technology to third party operators of stand-alone location-based entertainment companies. TEC agreed to pay the Company royalties for any such sublicenses in an amount equal to 10% of the revenue paid to TEC in cases where TEC pays for the cost of the equipment for such location or 14% of the revenue paid to TEC in cases where it does not pay for the cost of the equipment.

 

On July 23, 2018, the Company entered into the second amendment to the Co-Venture Agreement with TEC to (i) confirm the minimum royalty deficiency benefit due for the royalty period ended May 31, 2018; (ii) establish payment terms for the minimum royalty deficiency benefit due, to include both cash and promissory note payment; (iii) clarify the exclusivity provisions of the Co-Venture Agreement; and (iv) amend the minimum royalty calculations to only TEC branded facilities.

 

On July 31, 2019, the Company executed the First Amendment to Convertible Promissory Note with TEC to extend the Convertible Note’s maturity date for one additional year to August 1, 2020 and TEC remitted a payment of 20% of its net proceeds from its recent public offering totaling $16,000. All other terms and conditions of the Convertible Note remain unchanged.

 

In April 2018, MR effected a 1-for-12,000 reverse stock split, followed by a 2,000-for-1 forward stock split completed in November 2018. As a result, the Company holds, as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, 560,000 shares of TEC common stock representing approximately 4.8% of the issued and outstanding common shares of TEC. The Company recorded its investment at cost minus impairment as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, at $840,000.

 

In addition, as of March 31 2020, the Company holds a warrant to purchase 25,577 shares of TEC common stock, adjusted for the 1-for-12,000 reverse stock split and the 2,000-for-1 forward stock split, at an exercise price of $2.4436 per share, as adjusted. This warrant became exercisable on the date of grant of April 14, 2015 and expires on the tenth anniversary of the date of grant, if not earlier pursuant to the terms of the option.

 

Note 9. Related Party Transactions

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company redeemed 3,750 and $0 previously awarded options reaching expiration from the Company’s COO. The redemption eliminated the stock options and resulted in a total of $3,639 and $0 in additional compensation expense in 2020 and 2019, respectively.

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company issued 7,500 and nil shares of common stock, $0.0001 par value per share (the “Common Stock”), to related parties consisting of the CEO and one member of the Board of Directors for previously awarded stock options at an exercise price of $6,300 and $0, respectively.

General or Threatened Litigation

 

From time to time, the Company is notified of threatened litigation or that a claim is being made against it. The Company evaluates contingencies on an on-going basis and has established loss provisions for matters in which losses are probable and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated.

Employment Agreements

 

On April 2, 2012, the Company entered into three-year Employment Agreements with its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Operating Officer that call for base annual salaries of $195,000 and $175,000, respectively, subject to cost of living adjustments, and contain automatic one-year extension provisions. These contracts have been renewed annually and have been adjusted based on the same percentage increase approved for Company-wide cost-of-living adjustments.

 

Profit Sharing

 

VirTra provides a discretionary profit-sharing program that pays out a percentage of Company profits each year as a cash bonus to eligible employees. The cash payment is typically split into two equal payments and distributed pro-rata in April and October of the following year to only active employees. For the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, there was no amount credited to operations due to net loss in both respective periods. The 2020 profit-sharing estimate is revised quarterly and will be finalized after year-end financial audit.

    Stock Options     Exercise
Price
    Stock Options     Exercise
Price
 
Options outstanding, beginning of year     234,167     $ 2.47       279,167     $ 2.34  
Granted     -       -       -       -  
Redeemed     (3,750 )     0.84       -       -

Note 12. Subsequent Events

 

During March 2020, a global pandemic was declared by the World Health Organization related to the rapidly growing outbreak of a novel strain of coronavirus (COVID-19). The pandemic has significantly impacted the economic conditions in the U.S., accelerating during half of March and April as federal, state and local governments react to the public health crisis, creating significant uncertainties in the U.S. economy. On March 30, 2010, the Governor for the State of Arizona issued a stay-at-home order, currently in effect until May 15, 2020. The Company carefully reviewed all rules and regulations of the government orders and determined it met the requirements of an essential business to remain open. The Company had the majority of its staff begin working remotely in mid-March, with only essential personnel continue working at the manufacturing and production facilities. This situation is rapidly changing and additional impacts to the business may arise that we are not aware of currently. While the disruption is currently expected to be temporary, there is uncertainty around the duration. The ultimate impact of the pandemic on the Company’s results of operations, financial position, liquidity or capital resources cannot be reasonably estimated at this time. To date, the COVID-19 restrictions have resulted in reduced customer shipments and customer system installations. These recent developments are expected to result in lower recognized revenue and possibly lower gross margin when they occur. To date, there have been no order cancellations only delays in when orders ship or installations occur and all delayed orders remain in backlog. A significant adverse change in the business climate could affect the value of the Company’s long-term investment in TEC, including its long-term notes receivable from TEC, currently there has not been a negative impact and any future impact cannot be reasonably estimated at this time. The Company is no longer investing in Certificates of Deposits as a precautionary measure to increase its liquid cash position and preserve financial flexibility considering uncertainty in the U.S. and global markets resulting from COVID-19.

 

In April 2020, the Company applied for a Paycheck Protection Program loan (the “PPP loan”) from Wells Fargo Bank (the “Lender”) in the aggregate principal amount of $1,310,714 under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”), which was enacted March 27, 2020. The Company has been notified that it has received a guarantee ID from the SBA for the PPP loan and executed a Promissory Note (the “Note”) with the Lender on May 8, 2020. The Note matures on May 8, 2022 and bears interest at a rate of 1.00% per annum, payable monthly commencing November 6, 2020, following an initial deferral period as specified under the PPP loan. The Note may be prepaid at any time prior to maturity with no prepayment penalties. Proceeds from the PPP loan were received on May 12, 2020, and are expected to be used to fund designated expenses, including certain payroll costs, group health care benefits and other permitted expenses, in accordance with the PPP loan. Under the terms of the PPP loan, up to the entire amount of principal and accrued interest may be forgiven to the extent PPP loan proceeds are used for qualifying expenses as described in the CARES Act and applicable implementing guidance issued by the U.S. Small Business Administration under the PPP loan. The Company intends to use its entire PPP loan amount for designated qualifying expenses and to apply for forgiveness in accordance with the terms of the PPP loan. No assurance can be given that the Company will obtain forgiveness of the Loan in whole or in part. With respect to any portion of the PPP loan that is not forgiven, the PPP loan will be subject to customary provisions for a loan of this type, including customary events of default relating to, among other things, payment defaults, breaches of the provisions of the Note and cross-defaults on any other loan with the Lender or other creditors. Effective May 11, 2020, the Company’s stock repurchase was suspended to follow the legal requirements for recipients of a PPP loan under the CARES Act.

We also are engaged in licensing our technology to That’s Eatertainment Corp. (“TEC”), a related party and a developer and operator of a combined dining and entertainment concept centered on an indoor shooting experience.

 

Business Strategy

 

We have four main customer groups, namely, law enforcement, military, educational (includes colleges and police academies) and civilian. These are very different markets and require different sales and marketing programs as well as personnel. Our focus is to expand the market share and scope of our training simulators sales to these identified customer groups by pursuing the following key growth strategies:

 

  Build Our Core Business. Our goal is to profitably grow our market share by continuing to develop, produce and market the most effective simulators possible. Through disciplined growth in our business, we have achieved a solid balance sheet by increasing our working capital and limiting our bank debt. We plan to add staff to our experienced management team as needed to meet the expected increase in demand for our products and services as we invest in potential growth.
     
  Increase Total Addressable Market. We plan to increase the size of our total addressable market. This effort will focus on new marketing and new product and/or service offerings for the purpose of widening the number of types of customers who might consider our products or services uniquely compelling.
     
  Broaden Product Offerings. Since formation in 1993, our company has had a proud tradition of innovation in the field of simulation and virtual reality. We plan to release revolutionary new products and services as well as continue incremental improvements to existing product lines. In some cases, the company may enter a new market segment via the introduction of a new type of product or service.
     
  Partners and Acquisitions. We try to spend our time and funds wisely and not tackle tasks that can be done more efficiently with partners. For example, international distribution is often best accomplished through a local distributor or agent. We are also open to the potential of acquiring additional businesses or of being acquired ourselves, based on what is expected to be optimal for our long-term future and our stockholders.

Recent Developments

 

During March 2020, a global pandemic was declared by the World Health Organization related to the rapidly growing outbreak of a novel strain of coronavirus (COVID-19). The pandemic has significantly impacted the economic conditions in the U.S., accelerating during half of March and April as federal, state and local governments react to the public health crisis, creating significant uncertainties in the U.S. economy. On March 30, 2010, the Governor for the State of Arizona issued a stay-at-home order, currently in effect until May 15, 2020. The Company carefully reviewed all rules and regulations of the government orders and determined it met the requirements of an essential business to remain open. The Company had the majority of its staff begin working remotely in mid-March, with only essential personnel continue working at the manufacturing and production facilities. This situation is rapidly changing and additional impacts to the business may arise that we are not aware of currently. While the disruption is currently expected to be temporary, there is uncertainty around the duration. The ultimate impact of the pandemic on the Company’s results of operations, financial position, liquidity or capital resources cannot be reasonably estimated at this time. To date, the COVID-19 restrictions have resulted in reduced customer shipments and customer system installations. These recent developments are expected to result in lower recognized revenue and possibly lower gross margin when they occur. To date, there have been no order cancellations only delays in when orders ship or installations occur and all delayed orders remain in backlog. A significant adverse change in the business climate could affect the value of the Company’s long-term investment in TEC, including its long-term notes receivable from TEC, currently there has not been a negative impact and any future impact cannot be reasonably estimated at this time. The Company is no longer investing in Certificates of Deposits as a precautionary measure to increase its liquid cash position and preserve financial flexibility considering uncertainty in the U.S. and global markets resulting from COVID-19.

 

In April 2020, the Company applied for a Paycheck Protection Program loan (the “PPP loan”) from Wells Fargo Bank (the “Lender”) in the aggregate principal amount of $1,310,714 under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”), which was enacted March 27, 2020. The Company has been notified that it has received a guarantee ID from the SBA for the PPP loan and executed a Promissory Note (the “Note”) with the Lender on May 8, 2020. The Note matures on May 8, 2022 and bears interest at a rate of 1.00% per annum, payable monthly commencing November 6, 2020, following an initial deferral period as specified under the PPP loan. The Note may be prepaid at any time prior to maturity with no prepayment penalties. Proceeds from the PPP loan were received on May 12, 2020, and are expected to be used to fund designated expenses, including certain payroll costs, group health care benefits and other permitted expenses, in accordance with the PPP loan. Under the terms of the PPP loan, up to the entire amount of principal and accrued interest may be forgiven to the extent PPP loan proceeds are used for qualifying expenses as described in the CARES Act and applicable implementing guidance issued by the U.S. Small Business Administration under the PPP loan. The Company intends to use its entire PPP loan amount for designated qualifying expenses and to apply for forgiveness in accordance with the terms of the PPP loan. No assurance can be given that the Company will obtain forgiveness of the Loan in whole or in part. With respect to any portion of the PPP loan that is not forgiven, the PPP loan will be subject to customary provisions for a loan of this type, including customary events of default relating to, among other things, payment defaults, breaches of the provisions of the Note and cross-defaults on any other loan with the Lender or other creditors. Effective May 11, 2020, the Company’s stock repurchase was suspended to follow the legal requirements for recipients of a PPP loan under the CARES Act.

Revenues. Revenues were $3,338,163 for the three months ended March 31, 2020 compared to $3,051,338 for the same period in 2019, an increase of $286,825, or 9%. The increase in revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2020 resulted from an increase in the number of simulators and accessories completed, delivered and revenue recognized compared to the same period in 2019.

 

Cost of Sales. Cost of sales were $1,742,936 for the three months ended March 31, 2020 compared to $1,250,869 for the same period in 2019, an increase of $492,067, or 39%. The increase was primarily due to increased direct material, direct labor, direct travel and production supply costs related to the type and quantity of simulator systems and accessories sold. The cost of sales on a dollar basis varies from quarter-to-quarter as a result of sales volume and product mix.

 

Gross Profit. Gross profit was $1,595,227 for the three months ended March 31,2020 compared to $1,800,469 for the same period in 2019, a decrease of $205,242, or 11%. The gross profit margin was 47.8% for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 59.0% for the same period in 2019. The decrease in gross profit was due to increased investment in production staff to support larger volumes of sales in the future and the product mix with varying quantity of systems, accessories and services sold.

 

Operating Expenses. Net operating expense was $2,107,131 for the three months ended March 31, 2020 compared to $2,257,572 for the same period in 2019, a decrease of $150,441, or 7%. The decrease was mainly due to reduced selling, general and administrative costs for labor, benefits, travel, and professional services expense.

 

Operating Loss. Operating loss was $511,904 for the three months ended March 31, 2020 compared to an operating loss of $457,103 for the same period in 2019, an increase of $54,801, or 12%.

 

Other Income. Other income net of other expense was $19,494 for the three months ended March 31, 2020 compared to $37,201 for the same period in 2019, a decrease of $17,707, or 48%, primarily from interest income.

 

Provision for Income Tax Benefit. Provision for income tax benefit was $103,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2020 compared to an income tax benefit of $107,000 for the same period in 2019, a decrease of $4,000, or 4%. Provision (benefit) for income tax is estimated quarterly applying both federal and state tax rates.

 

Net Loss. Net loss was $389,410 for the three months ended March 31, 2020 compared to net loss of $312,902 for the same period in 2019, an increase of $76,508, or 24%. The fluctuations in net loss relates to each respective section discussed above.

Adjusted Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization. Explanation and Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures:

 

Earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization and before other non-operating costs and income (“EBITDA”) and adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP measures. Adjusted EBITDA also includes non-cash stock option expense. Other companies may calculate adjusted EBITDA differently. The Company calculates its adjusted EBITDA to eliminate the impact of certain items it does not consider to be indicative of its performance and its ongoing operations. Adjusted EBITDA is presented herein because management believes the presentation of adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to the Company’s investors regarding the Company’s financial condition and results of operations and because adjusted EBITDA is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of companies in the Company’s industry, several of which present EBITDA and a form of adjusted EBITDA when reporting their results. Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of the Company’s results as reported under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative for net income (loss), cash flows from operating activities and other income or cash flow statement data prepared in accordance with GAAP or as a measure of profitability or liquidity. A reconciliation of net loss to adjusted EBITDA is provided in the following table:

Liquidity and Capital Resources. Liquidity is the ability of an enterprise to generate adequate amounts of cash to meet its needs for cash requirements. The Company had $3,116,893 and $1,415,091 of cash and cash equivalents as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. The Company also held certificates of deposits with maturities of less than 12-months, which are recorded as short-term investments, totaling $720,000 and $1,915,000 as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. Working capital was $6,683,091 and $7,173,280 as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.

 

Net cash provided by operating activities was $723,364 for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and net cash used in investing activities was $900,598 for the three months ended March 31, 2019. Net cash provided by operating activities resulted primarily from decreased deferred revenue and increased accounts payable, as well as other changes in operating assets and liabilities.

 

Net cash provided by investing activities was $974,916 for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and net cash used in investing activities was $52,363 for the three months ended March 31, 2019. Investing activities in 2020 consisted of redemptions of certificates of deposits, purchase of intangible assets, purchases of property and equipment, compared to investing activities in 2019 that consisted of purchases and redemptions of certificates of deposits, purchases of intangible assets and purchases of property and equipment.

 

Net cash provided by financing activities was $3,522 for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and net cash used in financing activities was $260,842 for the three months ended March 31, 2019. Financing activities in 2020 consisted of stock options exercised and redeemed. Financing activities in 2019 consisted entirely of purchase of treasury stock.

 

Bookings and Backlog

 

The Company defines bookings as the total of newly signed contracts and purchase orders received in a defined time period. The Company received bookings totaling $5.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020. The Company defines backlog as the accumulation of bookings that have not started or are uncompleted performance objectives and cannot be recognized as revenue until delivered in a future quarter. Backlog also includes extended warranty agreements and STEP agreements that are deferred revenue recognized on a straight-line basis over the life of each respective agreement. As of March 31, 2020, the Company’s backlog was $11.3 million. Management estimates the majority of the new bookings received in the first quarter of 2020 will be converted to revenue in 2020. Management estimates the conversion of backlog based on current contract delivery dates; however, contract terms and dates are subject to modification and are routinely changed at the request of the customer. Additionally, due to the impact of COVID-19, management’s estimates will change in accordance with federal and state guidelines. To date, the COVID-19 restrictions have resulted in reduced customer shipments and customer system installations. These recent developments are expected to result in lower recognized revenue and possibly lower gross margin when they occur. To date, there have been no order cancellations, only delays in when orders ship or installations occur and all delayed orders remain in backlog.

 

Cash Requirements

 

Our management believes that our current capital resources will be adequate to continue operating the company and maintaining our current business strategy for more than 12 months from the filing of this Quarterly Report. We are, however, open to raising additional funds from the capital markets, at a fair valuation, to expand our product and services offered, to enhance our sales and marketing efforts and effectiveness, and to aggressively take advantage of market opportunities. There can be no assurance, however, that additional financing will be available to us when needed or, if available, that it can be obtained on commercially reasonable terms. If we are not able to obtain the additional financing on a timely basis, if and when it is needed, we will be forced to scale down our plans for expanded marketing and sales efforts.

Critical Accounting Policies

 

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based on our unaudited condensed financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of our unaudited condensed financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to areas that require a significant level of judgment or are otherwise subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty. Significant accounting estimates in these financial statements include valuation assumptions for share-based payments, allowance for doubtful accounts and notes receivable, inventory reserves, accrual for warranty reserves, the carrying value of long-lived assets, income tax valuation allowances, the carrying value of cost basis investments, and the allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in our contracts with customers. We base our estimates on historical experience, our observance of trends in particular areas, and information or valuations and various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances and which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that may not be readily apparent from other sources. Actual amounts could differ significantly from amounts previously estimated. For a discussion of our critical accounting policies, refer to Part I, Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019. Management believes that there have been no changes in our critical accounting policies during the three months ended March 31, 2020.

See Note 1 to our condensed financial statements, included in Part I, Item 1., Financial Information of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

As of March 31, 2020, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to investors. The term “off-balance sheet arrangement” generally means any transaction, agreement or other contractual arrangement to which an entity unconsolidated with us is a party, under which we have any obligation arising under a guarantee contract, derivative instrument or variable interest or a retained or contingent interest in assets transferred to such entity or similar arrangement that serves as credit, liquidity or market risk support for such assets.

 

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

 

Not required for smaller reporting companies.

 

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

 

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures

 

We maintain “disclosure controls and procedures,” as that term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e), promulgated by the SEC pursuant to the Exchange Act. Disclosure controls and procedures include controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our company’s reports filed under the Exchange Act 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 principal executive officer and principal financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, evaluated our company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that as of March 31, 2020, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective. The ineffectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures was due to material weaknesses, which we identified in our report on internal control over financial reporting contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, filed with the SEC on March 23, 2020.

 

Change in internal control over financial reporting

 

There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarterly period ended March 31, 2020 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. We believe that a control system, no matter how well designed and operated, cannot provide absolute assurance that the objectives of the control system are met, and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within any company have been detected.

ITEM 5. OTHER INFORMATION

 

  (a)

In April 2020, the Company applied for a Paycheck Protection Program loan (the “PPP loan”) from Wells Fargo Bank (the “Lender”) in the aggregate principal amount of $1,310,714 under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”), which was enacted March 27, 2020. The Company has been notified that it has received a guarantee ID from the SBA for the PPP loan and executed a Promissory Note (the “Note”) with the Lender on May 8, 2020. The Note matures on May 8, 2022 and bears interest at a rate of 1.00% per annum, payable monthly commencing November 6, 2020, following an initial deferral period as specified under the PPP loan. The Note may be prepaid at any time prior to maturity with no prepayment penalties. Proceeds from the PPP loan have were received on May 12, 2020, and are expected to be used to fund designated expenses, including certain payroll costs, group health care benefits and other permitted expenses, in accordance with the PPP loan. Under the terms of the PPP loan, up to the entire amount of principal and accrued interest may be forgiven to the extent PPP loan proceeds are used for qualifying expenses as described in the CARES Act and applicable implementing guidance issued by the U.S. Small Business Administration under the PPP loan. The Company intends to use its entire PPP loan amount for designated qualifying expenses and to apply for forgiveness in accordance with the terms of the PPP loan. No assurance can be given that the Company will obtain forgiveness of the Loan in whole or in part. With respect to any portion of the PPP loan that is not forgiven, the PPP loan will be subject to customary provisions for a loan of this type, including customary events of default relating to, among other things, payment defaults, breaches of the provisions of the Note and cross-defaults on any other loan with the Lender or other creditors. Effective May 11, 2020, the Company’s stock repurchase was suspended to follow the legal requirements for recipients of a PPP loan under the CARES Act.

     
  (b) There have been no material changes to the procedures by which security holders may recommend nominees to the Company’s Board of Directors since the filing with the SEC of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.
