Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared using U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and by following the instructions to Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X. Accordingly, these financial statements do not include all information or notes required by GAAP for annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements as filed on the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018, filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on April 1, 2019. In the opinion of management, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included herein contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly the Company’s consolidated financial position as of September 30, 2019, the results of its operations and changes in equity for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 20118 and cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018. Such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 may not be indicative of results for the year ending December 31, 2019.

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto were prepared in conformity with GAAP include the accounts of Vislink Technologies and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, IMT and Vislink, since the completion dates of the acquisitions of IMT and Vislink. All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates

Management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates and assumptions include reserves and write-downs related to receivables and inventories, the recoverability of long-lived assets, the valuation allowance relating to the Company’s deferred tax assets, valuation of equity and derivative instruments, debt discounts and the valuation of the assets and liabilities acquired in the acquisition of Vislink in 2011.

NOTE 1 — ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Leases

Change in accounting principle

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-02, “Leases” (“ASU 2016-02”). ASU 2016-02 is intended to improve financial reporting of leasing transactions by requiring organizations that lease assets to recognize assets and liabilities for the rights and obligations created by leases on the balance sheet. We have adopted ASU 2016-02 on January 1, 2019, using a modified retrospective transition approach that applies the new standard to all leases existing at the date of initial application. We have also elected to adopt the transitional package of practical expedients as prescribed by Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 842. Accordingly, we are continuing to account for our existing operating leases as operating leases under the new guidance, without reassessing whether the contracts contain a lease under ASC 842 or whether the classification of the operating leases would be different under ASC 842. All our rentals at the adoption date were operating leases for facilities and did not include any non-lease components.

As a result of the adoption of ASU 2016-02, on January 1, 2019, we recognized a lease liability of approximately $3.0 million, with corresponding right-of-use (“ROU”) assets of $2.9 million, based on the present value of the remaining minimum rental payments under current leasing standards for existing operating leases, less accrued rent of approximately $0.06 million. There are no changes to our previously reported results before January 1, 2019. Lease expense is not expected to change materially as a result of the adoption of ASU 2016-02.

Inventories

Inventory is recorded at the lower of cost, on a first-in, first-out basis, or net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation. Inventory valuation adjustments are included on the face of the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018.

Revenue Recognition

Change in accounting principle

We transitioned to the FASB ASC Topic 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (“ASC 606”) from ASC Topic 605, Revenue Recognition on January 1, 2019. Our transition to ASC 606 represents a change in accounting principle. ASC 606 eliminates industry-specific guidance and provides a single model for recognizing revenue from contracts with customers. The core principle of ASC 606 is that a reporting entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods and services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the reporting entity expects to be entitled to the exchange of those goods or services. We adopted ASC 606 using the modified retrospective method applied to all contracts not completed as of January 1, 2019. Under the modified retrospective transition method, an entity compares the revenue recognized from contract inception up to the date of initial application to the amount that would have been recognized if it had applied ASC 606 since contract inception. The difference between those two amounts would be accounted for as a cumulative-effect adjustment and recognized on the date of the initial application. The adoption of ASC 606 did not have an impact on the recognition of revenue, and no cumulative-effect adjustment was recorded.

The Company generates all its revenue from contracts with customers. The Company recognizes revenue when we satisfy a performance obligation by transferring control of the promised goods or services to a customer in an amount that reflects the consideration that we expect to receive in exchange for those services.

The Company determines revenue recognition through the following steps:

At contract inception, the Company assesses the goods and services promised in our contracts with customers and identifies a performance obligation for each. To determine the performance obligations, the Company considers all the products and services promised in the contract regardless of whether they are explicitly stated or implied by customary business practices. The timing of satisfaction of the performance obligation is not subject to significant judgment. We measure revenue as the amount of consideration we expect to receive in exchange for transferring goods and services. Excluded from income are the value-added sales taxes, and other charges we collect concurrent with revenue-producing activities.

NOTE 1 — ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Stock-Based Compensation

Effective January 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASU No. 2018-07, Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting (“ASU 2018-07”), which aligns accounting for share-based payments issued to non-employees to that of employees under the existing guidance of Topic 718, with certain exceptions. This update supersedes previous guidance for equity-based payments to non-employees under Subtopic 505-50, Equity - Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees. The adoption of ASU 2018-07 did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

Convertible Debt Instruments

The Company records debt net of debt discounts for beneficial conversion features and warrants, on either a relative fair value or fair value basis depending on the respective accounting treatment of each instrument. Beneficial conversion features are recorded according to the Beneficial Conversion (“BCF”) and Debt Topics of the FASB ASC. The amounts allocated to warrants and beneficial conversion rights are recorded as debt discounts with corresponding entries to derivative liability and additional paid-in-capital. Costs paid to third parties (e.g., legal fees, printing costs, placement agent fees) that are directly related to issuing the debt and that otherwise wouldn’t be incurred, are treated as a direct deduction of the debt liability. Debt discount and issuance costs are generally amortized and recognized as additional interest expense in the statement of operations over the life of the debt instrument using the effective interest method.

The Company evaluates its convertible debt, options, warrants or other contracts to determine if those contracts or embedded components of those contracts qualify as derivatives to be separately accounted for. The result of this accounting treatment is that under certain circumstances, the fair value of the derivative is marked-to-market each balance sheet date and recorded as a liability. If the fair value is recorded as a liability, the change in fair value is recorded in the statement of operations as other income or expense. Upon conversion or exercise of a derivative instrument, the instrument is marked to fair value at the conversion date, and then that fair value is reclassified to stockholders’ equity.

Loss Per Share

The Company reports a loss per share under ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share,” which establishes standards for computing and presenting earnings per share. Basic loss per share of common stock is calculated by dividing net loss allocable to common stockholders by the weighted-average shares of common stock outstanding during the period, without consideration of common stock equivalents. Diluted loss per share is calculated by adjusting the weighted-average shares of common stock outstanding for the dilutive effect of common stock equivalents, including stock options and warrants, outstanding for the period as determined using the treasury stock method. For purposes of the diluted net loss per share calculation, common stock equivalents are excluded from the calculation because their effect would be anti-dilutive. Therefore, basic and diluted net loss per share applicable to common stockholders is the same for periods with a net loss.

The following table illustrates the anti-dilutive potential common stock equivalents excluded from the calculation of loss per share (in thousands):

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

GAAP requires disclosing the fair value of financial instruments to the extent practicable for financial instruments that are recognized or unrecognized in the consolidated balance sheet. The fair value of the financial instruments disclosed herein is not necessarily representative of the amount that could be realized or settled, nor does the fair value amount consider the tax consequences of realization or settlement.

In assessing the fair value of financial instruments, the Company uses a variety of methods and assumptions, which are based on estimates of market conditions and risks existing at the time. For certain instruments, including accounts receivable and accounts payable, the Company estimated that the carrying amount approximated fair value because of the short maturities of these instruments. All debt is based on current rates at which the Company could borrow funds with similar remaining maturities and approximates fair value.

NOTE 1 — ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Fair Value of Financial Instruments(continued)

GAAP establishes a hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs consist of items that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the Company’s assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. The hierarchy is described below:

Foreign Currency and Other Comprehensive (Loss)/Income

The functional currency of our foreign subsidiary is typically the applicable local currency, which is British Pounds. The translation from the respective foreign currency to United States Dollars (“US Dollars”) is performed for balance sheet accounts using current exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date and for income statement accounts using an average exchange rate during the period. Gains or losses resulting from such translation are included as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive (loss)/income. Gains or losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in foreign currency income or loss except for the effect of exchange rates on long-term inter-company transactions considered to be a long-term investment, which is accumulated and credited or charged to other comprehensive income.

Transaction gains and losses are recognized in our results of operations based on the difference between the foreign exchange rates on the transaction date and on the reporting date. The foreign currency exchange gains and losses are included as a component of general and administrative expenses in the accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The Company has recognized foreign exchanges gains and losses and changes in accumulated comprehensive income approximately as follows:

The exchange rates adopted for the foreign exchange transactions are the rates of exchange, as quoted on an OANDA, a Canadian-based foreign exchange company providing currency conversion, online retail foreign exchange trading, online foreign currency transfers, and forex information, an internet website. Translation of amounts from British Pounds into United States dollars was made at the following exchange rates for the respective periods:

Subsequent Events

The Company has evaluated subsequent events in accordance with ASC 855, Subsequent Events, through the filing date of this Quarterly Report, and determined that no events have occurred that have not been disclosed elsewhere in the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements (unaudited) that would require adjustments to disclosures in the condensed consolidated financial statements (unaudited), except as disclosed herein (see Note 14).

NOTE 1 — ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In July 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2019-07, Codification Updates to SEC Sections. This ASU amends various SEC paragraphs under the issuance of SEC Final Rule Releases No. 33-10532, Disclosure Update and Simplification, and Nos. 33-10231 and 33-10442, Investment Company Reporting Modernization. One of the changes in the ASU requires a presentation of changes in stockholders’ equity in the form of reconciliation, either as a separate financial statement or in the notes to the financial statements, for the current and comparative year-to-date interim periods. The Company presented changes in stockholders’ equity as separate financial statements for the current and comparative year-to-date interim periods beginning on January 1, 2019. The additional elements of the ASU did not have a material impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements. This guidance was effective immediately upon issuance.

In March 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-01 “Leases (Topic 842) Codification Improvements” (“ASU 2019-01”). This update amends the following items brought to the FASB’s attention through those interactions with stakeholders:

The effective date of those amendments of ASU 2019-01 is for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years for any of the following: (1) a public business entity, (2) a not-for-profit entity that has issued, or is a conduit bond obligor for, securities that are traded, listed, or quoted on an exchange or an over-the-counter market, and (3) an employee benefit plan that files financial statements with the SEC. For all other entities, the effective date is for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. Early application is permitted. The adoption of ASU 2019-01 is not expected to have a material impact on our results of operations, financial position or liquidity or our related financial statement disclosures.

Other recently issued FASB technical corrections to existing guidance or affecting guidance to specialized industries or entities, have no current applicability to the Company and not believed by management to have a material impact on the Company’s present or future condensed consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 2 — LIQUIDITY AND FINANCIAL CONDITION

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared to assume the Company can continue as a going concern, which contemplates continuity of operations through the realization of assets and the settling of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. The Company had $0.5 million in cash on the balance sheet at September 30, 2019. The Company had working capital and an accumulated deficit of $5.7 million and $246.2 million, respectively, on September 30, 2019. Additionally, the Company had a loss from operations in the amount of approximately $10.8 million and cash used in operating activities of $6.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019.

In the fiscal year 2018, the Company implemented a cost reduction initiative, which resulted in approximately $8.2 million in annual savings. The Company effected these reductions by phasing out a business division that scaled-down payroll and associated benefits and other supporting expenses. The Company realized an additional $1.3 million of savings primarily related to facilities consolidation whereby our Billerica facility was subleased on May 8, 2019, with expected savings over the term of the lease of $0.6 million. Also, our Sunrise lease expired on May 13, 2019, with annual savings of $0.2 million. Lastly, the Company consolidated its Colchester facilities from two sites into one on May 31, 2019, with savings of $0.5 million through September 2020.

On July 11, 2019, the Company closed an equity financing for 1,550,000 shares of common stock, warrants to purchase 6,000,000 shares of common stock and, pre-funded warrants to purchase common stock in place of common stock. The Company received gross proceeds of $11,995,550 from the offering, before deducting underwriting-related fees and other offering expenses payable by the Company.

The Company used the net proceeds from the equity financing to satisfy outstanding principal and accrued interest due on convertible promissory notes and, provided working capital for daily operating expenditures. The Company is planning another equity raise in November 2019, has recently announced $3 million of new orders for a total backlog of $13 million and anticipates collection of $2.8 million in cash from the U.S. Army by year end. As such, in conjunction with ongoing cost management, we believe there is enough funds to mitigate the going concern uncertainty for at least twelve months from the date of these financial statements. The ability to recognize revenue and ultimately cash receipts is contingent upon, but not limited to, acceptable performance of the delivered equipment and services. Our asset carrying value could be materially impacted if we are unable to close on some revenue-producing opportunities in the near term.

NOTE 3 — INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Intangible assets consist of the following finite assets:

Patents and Licenses:

On September 30, 2019, and December 31, 2018, the Company had net capitalized costs of patents and licenses of $2.0 million and $2.5 million, respectively. The Company amortizes patents and licenses that have been filed over their useful lives, which range between 18.5 to 20 years. The costs of provisional patents and pending applications are not amortized until the patent is filed and is reviewed each reporting period to determine if it is likely that the patent will be successfully filed.

Other Intangible Assets:

The Company’s remaining intangible assets include the trade names, technology, and customer lists acquired in its acquisition of IMT and Vislink.

On September 30, 2019, and December 31, 2018, the Company had net capitalized costs of other intangible assets of $1.3 million and $2.1 million, respective. The Company amortizes these other intangible assets over their estimated useful lives of 3 to 15 years.

The amortization of intangible assets amounted to $0.4 million and $1.3 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively, and $0.5 million and $1.6 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively. There was an impairment of $-0- million and $0.2 million of software development costs for the three and nine months ending September 30, 2018. The weighted average remaining life of the amortization of the Company’s intangible assets is approximately 3.7 years.

The following table represents the estimated amortization expense for total intangible assets for the succeeding five years:

NOTE 4 — NOTE PAYABLE

Effective as of September 27, 2019, the Board of Directors of the Company consented to assume the remaining balance of a note held by a former related party MB Technology Holdings, LLC (“MBTH”). MBTH originally borrowed funds for the benefit of the Company with the proceeds forwarded to the Company reflecting due to a related party, which ultimately was converted into shares. The note matures on September 18, 2020, with an annual interest rate of 8.022%. One payment of $18,519 of accrued interest plus $230,860 of principal, totaling $249,379, is due on September 18, 2020.

NOTE 5 — CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTES

The Company has convertible promissory notes ranging from 6% to 10% per annum, with a maturity date of September 29, 2019, with a fixed range of conversion features. The table below summarizes the convertible promissory notes as of September 30, 2019.

The Company has listed a summary of the modified and non-modified debt as follows:

Items recorded to interest expense, net for the three-month and nine-month periods ending September 30, 2019, and 2018 are:

During the nine months ending September 30, 2019, the Company issued 328,932 shares of common stock valued at $528,465 in partial settlement of $494,483 of principal and interest resulting in a loss in settlement of debt in the amount of $32,982. As of September 31, 2019, the convertible promissory notes have been fully satisfied.

NOTE 6 — LEASES

At lease inception, we determine if an arrangement is a lease and if it includes options to extend or terminate the lease if it is reasonably certain that the options will be exercised. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Operating leases are recognized as ROU assets included as operating lease ROU assets, net and operating lease liability obligations in other current liabilities and other liabilities in our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as of the commencement date and at September 30, 2019. ROU assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term, and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. We recognize operating lease ROU assets and liabilities on the commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. As most of our leases do not provide an implicit rate, we use our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available on the commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments.

As of September 30, 2019, ROU assets and lease liabilities were approximately $2.04 million, net, and 2.05 million ($0.82 million of which is current), respectively. The weighted-average remaining term for lease contracts was 3.6 years on September 30, 2019, with maturity dates ranging from April 2020 to March 2025. The weighted-average discount rate was 9.3% at September 30, 2019.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company’s leasing arrangements include agreements for office space, deployment sites, and storage warehouses, both domestically and internationally. The operating leases contain various lease terms and provisions with remaining lease commitments of approximately seven months and four years as of September 30, 2019. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, and 2018, the Company sublet a portion of its space under operating leases at The Fairways, Hemel, and Billerica locations.

Certain individual leases contain rent escalation clauses and lease concessions that require additional rental payments in the later years of the term. We recognize rent expense for these types of contracts on a straight-line basis over the minimum lease term. For the three months and nine months ending September 30, 2019, we incurred approximately $245,000 and $900,000 of rental fees net of $78,000 and $178,000 of rental income under operating leases, respectively. For the three-months and nine-months ending September 30, 2018, we incurred approximately $367,000 and $1,120,000 of rental fees net of $36,000 and $111,000 of rental income under operating leases, respectively. Adjustments for straight-line rental expense for the respective periods was not material. As such, most costs recognized is reflected in cash used in operating activities for the respective periods. This expense consisted primarily of payments for base rent on office and warehouse leases. Amounts related to short-term lease costs and taxes and variable service charges on leased properties were immaterial. Besides, we have the right, but no obligation, to renew individual leases for various renewal terms.

The table below lists locations and lease expiration dates from 2020 through 2025:

Under previous lease guidance, future minimum lease payments under operating leases with noncancelable lease terms in excess of one year from continuing operations as of September 30, 2019, were as follows:

NOTE 6 — LEASES (continued)

The following table illustrates specific operating lease data as of September 30, 2019:

NOTE 7 — RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

On January 1, 2019, a new related party agreement (the “MBMG Agreement”) became effective between the Company and MB Merchant Group, LLC (“MBMG”). The MBMG Agreement supersedes the previous agreement with MB Technology Holdings, LLC (“MBTH”). MBMG, the founding entity of MBTH, agrees to provide services in connection with, and Vislink Technologies agrees to compensate MBMG for both consulting services via a retainer and, on a success basis, for future mergers and acquisitions beginning January 1, 2019.

The following directors of MBMG have significant influence with the Company:

The following table represents related party transactions for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2019:

The Company recorded these fees in general and administrative expenses on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations and included such fees in due to related parties on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. The balances outstanding to MBMG on September 30, 2019, and December 31, 2018, was $503,000 and $361,000, respectively.

NOTE 8 — DERIVATIVE LIABILITIES

Each of the warrants issued in connection with the August 2015 underwritten offering, the February 2016 Series B Preferred Stock Offering, the May 2016 financing, the July 2016 financing, the August 2017 underwritten offering, and the May 2018 Financing have been accounted for as derivative liabilities as each of the warrants contain a net cash settlement provision whereby, upon certain fundamental events, the holders could put the warrants back to the Company for cash.

The following are the key assumptions that were used in connection with the valuation of the warrants exercisable into common stock as of September 30, 2019:

Level 3 liabilities are valued using unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the liabilities. For fair value measurements categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, the Company’s accounting and finance department, which reports to the Chief Financial Officer, determines its valuation policies and procedures. The development and determination of the unobservable inputs for Level 3 fair value measurements and fair value calculations are the responsibility of the Company’s accounting and finance department and are approved by the Chief Financial Officer.

Level 3 Valuation Techniques:

Level 3 financial liabilities consist of the derivative liabilities for which there is no current market for these securities such that the determination of fair value requires significant judgment or estimation. Changes in fair value measurements categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy are analyzed each period based on changes in estimates or assumptions and recorded as appropriate. The Company deems financial instruments that do not have fixed settlement provisions to be derivative instruments. Under U.S. GAAP, the fair value of these warrants is classified as a liability on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets because, according to the terms of the warrants, a fundamental transaction could give rise to an obligation of the Company to pay cash to its warrant holders. Such instruments do not have fixed settlement provisions and have also been recorded as derivative liabilities. Corresponding changes in the fair value of the derivative liabilities are recognized in earnings on the Company’s consolidated statements of operations in each subsequent period.

The Company’s derivative liabilities are carried at fair value and were classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy due to the use of significant unobservable inputs. In calculating the fair value, the Company uses a binomial model style simulation, as the value of certain features of the warrant derivative liabilities would not be captured by the standard Black-Scholes model.

The following table sets forth a summary of the changes in the fair value of our Level 3 financial liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis:

Common Stock Issuances

July 2019 Financing

On July 11, 2019, the Company closed an equity financing for (i) 1,550,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.00001 per share, of the Company (“Common Stock”), as well as 900,000 shares of Common Stock issuable to the underwriters of the Offering (the “Underwriters”) to cover over-allotments, (ii) pre-funded warrants exercisable for 4,450,000 shares of Common Stock (the “Pre-Funded Warrants”), and (iii) warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 6,000,000 shares of Common Stock (the “Warrants”), as well as Warrants to purchase up to an additional 900,000 shares of Common Stock issuable to the Underwriters to cover over-allotments. A registration statement on Form S-1, relating to the Offering was filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on July 1, 2019, amendments to which were filed with the SEC on July 10, 2019, and July 11, 2019, and was declared effective on July 11, 2019. The Company received gross proceeds of approximately $11,996,00 less $1,193,000 of offering costs for a net proceeds of $10,803,000.

The shares of Common Stock and Warrants were sold at a combined Offering price of $2.00 per share of Common Stock and Warrant. Each Warrant sold with the shares of Common Stock represents the right to purchase one share of Common Stock at an exercise price of $5.00 per share. The Warrants are exercisable immediately, expire five years from the date of issuance and provide that, beginning on the earlier of (i) 20 days after issuance and (ii) if the Common Stock trades an aggregate of more than 20,000,000 shares after the pricing of this Offering as reported by Bloomberg, and ending on the fifteenth (15) month anniversary thereof, each Warrant may be exercised at the option of the holder on a cashless basis, in whole or in part for a whole number of shares if the weighted average price of the Common Stock on the trading day immediately prior to the exercise date fails to exceed the initial exercise price of the Warrant.

The Pre-Funded Warrants and Warrants were sold at a combined Offering price of $1.999 per Pre-Funded Warrant and Warrant. The Pre-Funded Warrants were sold to purchasers whose purchase of shares of Common Stock in the Offering would otherwise result in the purchaser, together with its affiliates and certain related parties, beneficially owning more than 4.99% of the Company’s outstanding Common Stock immediately following the consummation of the Offering, in lieu of shares of Common Stock. Each Pre-Funded Warrant represents the right to purchase one share of Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.001 per share. The Pre-Funded Warrants are exercisable immediately and may be exercised at any time until the Pre-Funded Warrants are exercised in full. The shares of Common Stock, Pre-Funded Warrants and Warrants were issued separately and are immediately separable upon issuance.

Other Common Stock Issuances

During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company:

NOTE 9 — STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY (continued)

Common Stock Warrants

During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company granted 10,450,000 warrants, and 10,483,601 warrants were exercised. The weighted average exercise prices of warrants outstanding at September 30, 2019, is $19.90 with a weighted average remaining contractual life of 2.6 years. As of September 30, 2019, these outstanding warrants contained no intrinsic value.

The following table sets forth common stock purchase warrants outstanding as of September 30, 2019:

Common Stock Options

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company recorded approximately $578,000 and $1,703,000, respectively, as stock compensation expense from the amortization of stock options issued. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Company recorded approximately $639,000 and $3,114,000, respectively, as stock compensation expense from the amortization of stock options issued, of which $0.8 million was the expense for accelerating the vesting of the remaining options for terminated employees. As of September 30, 2019, the weighted average remaining contractual life was 7.73 years for options outstanding and 7.62 years for options exercisable. The intrinsic value of options exercisable on September 30, 2019, was $-0-. As of September 30, 2019, the remaining expense is approximately 1,411,000 over the remaining amortization period of 1.06 years. The Company estimates forfeiture and volatility using historical information. The risk-free interest rate is based on the implied yield available on U.S. Treasury zero-coupon issues over the equivalent lives of the options. The expected life of the options represents the estimated period using the simplified method. The Company has not paid dividends on its common stock, and no assumption of dividend payment(s) is made in the model. 

A summary of the options activity is as follow:

NOTE 10 — COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Legal:

The Company is subject, from time to time, to claims by third parties under various legal theories. The defense of such claims, or any adverse outcome relating to any such claims, could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s liquidity, financial condition, and cash flows. Pursuant to ASC Topic 450’s provision that a company must accrue a loss contingency if information is available before the issuance of the financial statements, it has been determined that based upon a lawsuit filed by Hale Capital Partners, LP (“Hale”) against the Company on July 29, 2019, the Company may be potentially liable for professional fees incurred by Hale for a due diligence transaction in the amount of $140,000. The Company deems these fees excessive and is vigorously defending the claim. This amount was accrued and included in accrued expenses in the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2019. There were no other material legal actions pending.

NOTE 10 — COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (continued)

Pension:

The Company, at its discretion, may make matching contributions to the 401(k) plan in which its employees participate. For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, and 2018, the Company made matching contributions of $-0- and $67,000, respectively.

The Company currently operates a Group Personal Pension Plan in its U.K. subsidiary, and funds are invested with Royal London. U.K. employees are entitled to join the plan to which the Company contributes varying amounts subject to status. In addition, the Company operates a stakeholder pension scheme in the U.K. For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, and 2018, and the Company made matching contributions of $142,000 and $165,000, respectively.

Nasdaq Compliance:

On September 26, 2019, we received a written notification from the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) indicating that the Company was not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) as the Company’s closing bid price was below $1.00 per share for the previous thirty (30) consecutive business days.

Pursuant to the Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company has been granted a 180 calendar day compliance period, or until March 24, 2020, to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirements. During the compliance period, the Company’s shares of common stock will continue to be listed and traded on Nasdaq.

To regain compliance, the closing bid of the Company’s shares of common stock must meet or exceed $1.00 per share for at least ten (10) consecutive business days during the 180 calendar day grace period. If the Company is not in compliance by March 24, 2020, the Company may be afforded a second 180 calendar day grace period. To qualify, the Company would be required to meet the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares and all other initial listing standards for The Nasdaq Capital Market, with the exception of the minimum bid price requirements. In addition, the Company would be required to notify Nasdaq of its intent to cure the minimum bid price deficiency by effecting a reverse stock split, if necessary.

If the Company does not regain compliance within the allotted compliance period(s), including any extensions that may be granted by Nasdaq, Nasdaq will provide notice that the Company’s shares of common stock will be subject to delisting. The Company intends to monitor its closing bid price for its common stock between now and March 24, 2020, and will consider available options to resolve the Company’s noncompliance with the minimum bid price requirement, as may be necessary. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement or will otherwise be in compliance with other Nasdaq listing criteria.

In the event that the Company’s common stock is delisted from the NASDAQ, and is not eligible for quotation on another market or exchange, trading of its common stock could be conducted in the over-the-counter market or on an electronic bulletin board established for unlisted securities such as the Pink Sheet or the OTC Bulletin Board. In such event, it could become more difficult to dispose of, or obtain accurate price quotations for, the Company’s common stock, and there would likely also be a reduction in the Company’s coverage by securities analysts and the news media, which could cause the price of its common stock to decline further. Also, it may be difficult for the Company to raise additional capital if it is not listed on a major exchange.

NOTE 11 — CONCENTRATIONS

Results of Operations

Comparison for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018

Revenues

Revenues for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 were $5.0 million and $20.6 million, respectively, compared to $8.3 million and $27.5 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, representing decreases of $3.3 million or 40% and $6.9 million or 25%, respectively. The reductions can be attributed to one-time sales being recorded during the nine months ending September 30, 2018, not repeated during the nine months ending September 30, 2019. The Company experienced a decline in revenue of approximately $7.8 million for Europe, North America, South American, and the rest of the world market for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. These decreases were offset in $0.9 million in the Asian market for the nine months ended September 30, 2019.

Cost of Revenue and Operating Expenses

Cost of Components and Personnel

Cost of components and personnel for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 were $3.0 million and $10.6 million, respectively, compared to $4.2 million and $13.5 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, representing decreases of $1.2 million or 29% and $2.9 million or 21%, respectively. The reductions are primarily due to a decline in revenue resulting in less cost of components. The decrease is also attributable due to the proportional change in inventory levels as a result of the Company’s disbanding of the xMax and Federal divisions in 2018.

Inventory Valuation Adjustments

Inventory valuation adjustments consist primarily of items that are written off due to obsolescence or written down to their net realizable value. Inventory valuation adjustments for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, were $0.2 million and $0.3 million, respectively, compared to $0.1 million and $0.4 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, representing decreases of $0.1 million or 100% and $0.1 million or 25%, respectively.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses are costs incurred in operating the business daily and include salary and benefit expenses including stock-based compensation and payroll taxes, as well as the costs of trade shows, marketing programs, promotional materials, professional services, facilities, general liability insurance, travel and expenses associated with being a public company. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company incurred aggregate expenses of $5.3 million and $16.1 million, respectively, compared to $4.7 million and $16.6 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, representing an increase of $0.6 million or 13% and a decrease $0.5 million or 3% respectively.

The three-month increase of $0.6 million is primarily attributable to increases of $0.6 million in commission; $0.2 million each in foreign exchange losses, warranty costs, miscellaneous expenditures, professional fees, and freight; $0.1 million each in legal fees, stock-based compensation, licenses, and bank fees. This increase was offset by decreases of $0.4 million in salaries and benefits; $0.3 million in rent and utilities; $0.2 million in employee expenses; $0.1 million each in consulting fees, computer expense, bad debt, insurance, and advertising.

The nine-month decrease of $0.5 million is primarily attributable to reductions of $1.3 million of salaries and benefits; $0.4 million each of travel and entertainment plus rent and utilities; $0.3 million in management fees; $0.2 million each in consulting, freight and insurance; $0.1 million each in foreign exchange losses and computer expense. This reduction was offset by increases of $0.4 million each of stock-based compensation, commissions, and professional fees; $0.3 million increase in advertising; $0.2 million each in employee’s expense and legal fees; $0.1 million each of office expense, warranty costs, miscellaneous overhead, licenses, dues and subscriptions, telephone and bank fees.

We continue to expect similar declining results going forward due to the cost-cutting initiative program implemented in the fiscal year 2018.

Research and Development Expenses

Research and development expenses consist primarily of salary and benefit expenses, including stock-based compensation and payroll taxes, as well as costs for prototypes, facilities, and travel. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company incurred aggregate expense of $0.8 million and $2.6 million, respectively, compared to $1.3 million and $6.7 million, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, representing decreases of $.05 million or 39% and $4.1 million or 61%

respectively.

The three-month decrease of $0.5 million is primarily attributable to reductions of $0.8 million in research; $0.2 million in stock-based compensation; $0.1 million each in repairs and maintenance, rent and utilities, and consulting. This reduction was offset by an increase of $0.7 million in salaries and benefits. The nine-month decrease of $4.1 million is primarily attributable to reductions of $1.7 million each in salaries and benefits plus stock-based compensation; $0.2 million each in repairs and maintenance, rent and utilities, and consulting; $0.1 million in research.

We continue to expect similar declining results going forward due to the cost-cutting initiative program implemented in the fiscal year 2018.

Impairment

No impairments related to long-lived assets or amortized intangible assets were recorded during three and nine months ended September 30, 2019. An impairment charge of $0.0 million and $0.2 million was recognized for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018. The Company recorded impairment charges relating to the balance of xMax software development costs due to the winding down of the xMax division during the second quarter of 2018.

Amortization and Depreciation

Amortization and depreciation expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 were $0.6 million and $1.8 million, respectively, compared to $0.7 million and $2.4 million, respectively for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, representing decreases of $0.1 million or 14% and $0.6 million or 25% respectively. The decline is attributable to a reduction of depreciation recorded on long-lived assets and impaired assets associated with the elimination of the xMax and Federal divisions during the fiscal year 2018.

Other

Changes in Fair Value of Derivative Liabilities

The fair value of derivative liabilities for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 was $0.3 million and $1.0 million, respectively, compared to $0.8 million and $2.5 million, respectively for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, representing a decrease of $0.5 million or 63% and $1.5 million or 60% respectively. This fluctuation is due to the changes in our stock price and volatility rates of longer-term warrants.

Interest expense

Interest expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 was $0.4 million and $1.8 million, respectively, compared to $0.4 million and $2.3 million, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, representing a decrease of $0.0 million     % and $0.5 million or 22% respectively. The decline is attributable to the immediate expensing of warrant costs in the fiscal year 2018.

Net Loss

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company had a net loss of $5.0 million and $11.7 million, respectively, compared to a net loss of $2.2 million and a net loss of $11.9 million, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, or a decrease in net loss of $2.7 million and $0.2 million, respectively. The reduction in the net loss is mainly associated with the elimination of the xMax and Federal divisions, accompanied by the effect of the cost-cutting initiative program implemented in the fiscal year 2018 and continued into the fiscal year 2019.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of September 30, 2019, the Company has working capital of approximately $5.7 million, including $0.5 million of cash. We have incurred a net loss of $11.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019.

Cash Flows

The following table sets forth the major components of our statements of cash flows data for the periods presented.

For the Nine-Month Period Ended

(In Thousands)

Operating Activities

Net cash used in operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, and 2018, totaled $6.1 million and $5.2 million, respectively an increase of $1.1 million. The change of $1.1 million of net cash used in operating activities is attributable the increase of $3.4 in accounts payable; $1.3 million in accrued expenses and interest expense; $0.6 million in right-of-use assets amortization of operating leases; $0.4 million of due to related parties; $0.3 million in prepaid expenses and other current assets; $0.1 million in the provision for bad debt. The increases were offset by the reductions in $2.0 million non-cash interest costs; $1.8 million in accounts receivable; $1.6 million in payments made in stock (payroll & consultant); $1.4 million in stock-based compensation; $0.6 million in depreciation and amortization; $0.5 million each in deferred revenue and customer deposits plus operating lease liabilities; $0.2 million each in impairment charges and inventory; $0.1 million each in stock issuance commitments and inventory evaluation adjustments; $0.1 gain on sale of property and equipment; $1.5 million in change in fair value of derivative liabilities.

Investing Activities

Net cash used and provided by investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, and 2018 was $0.4 million used and $0.1 million provided, respectively, a decrease of $0.5 million, mainly attributable to capital expenditures for furniture and equipment.

Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, and 2018 was $5.0 million and $3.6 million, respectively, an increase of $1.4 million mainly attributable the increases in $10.8 of proceeds received from equity financing net of $1.2 million of underwriting costs; $6.0 million in principal payments on convertible promissory notes; $0.4 in debt issuance costs; $0.2 million in proceeds from the exercise of common stock warrants. The increases were offset by reductions in $4.0 million of proceeds received from convertible promissory.

Cost Reductions

The Company has successfully achieved $1.3 million of cost reductions primarily related to facilities consolidation, which includes consolidating the two sites in Colchester, U.K., into one location. The Company expects savings in connection with the consolidation to be approximately $0.5 million through September 2020. Besides, our Billerica facility was subleased in June 2019 with anticipated savings over the term of the lease of $0.6 million. Also, as part of cost-cutting measures, the Company did not renew the office or warehouse space it leases in Sunrise, Florida, which achieved annual savings of $0.2 million.
