DECISIONPOINT SYSTEMS, INC. - 10-K - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS(Edgar Glimpses Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) The following discussion provides information and analysis of our results of operations for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 and our liquidity and capital resources and should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and the notes to those statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of American ("GAAP"). In the following discussion and analysis of results of operations and financial condition, certain financial measures may be considered "non-GAAP financial measures" under Securities and Exchange Commission rules. These rules require supplemental explanation and reconciliation, which is provided in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. DecisionPoint's management uses the non-GAAP measure, Adjusted Working Capital, in their evaluation of business cash flow and financial position performance. We believe this non-GAAP measure provides investors with a better understanding of operating financial position of our company. Non-GAAP disclosures have limitations as analytical tools, should not be viewed as a substitute for cash flow or operating earnings determined in accordance with GAAP, and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP, nor are they necessarily comparable to non-GAAP performance measures that may be presented by other companies. This supplemental presentation should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by similar adjustments to operating earnings determined in accordance with GAAP. Overview DecisionPoint enables our clients to "move decisions closer to the customer" by "empowering the mobile worker". We define the mobile worker as those individuals that are on the front line in direct contact with customers. These workers include field repair technicians, sales associates, couriers, public safety employees and millions of other workers that deliver goods and or services throughout the country. Whether they are blue or white collar, mobile workers have many characteristics in common. Mobile workers need information, access to corporate resources, decision support tools and the ability to capture and report information back to the organization. DecisionPoint empowers these mobile workers through the implementation of various mobile technologies including specialized mobile business applications, wireless networks, mobile computers (for example, rugged, tablets, and smartphones) and a comprehensive suite of consulting, integration, deployment and support services. Mobile computing capabilities and usage continue to grow. With choice comes complexity so helping our customers navigate the myriad of options is what we do best. The right choice may be an off-the-shelf application or a custom business application to fit a very specific business process. DecisionPoint has the specialized resources and support structure to address the needs of mobile applications in the retail, transportation, field workforce sales/service and the warehousing market segments. We continue to invest in building out our capabilities to support these markets and business needs. For example, in July 2012, we invested in the expansion of our custom software development capabilities through the acquisition of Illume Mobile in Tulsa, OK, which specializes in the custom development of specialized mobile business applications for Apple, Android and Windows Mobile devices. Additionally, through the acquisition of Illume Mobile we acquired a cloud-based, horizontal software application "ContentSentral" which manages and distributes multiple types of corporate content (for example, PDF, video, images, and spreadsheets) on mobile tablets used by field workers. We also dramatically increased our software products expertise with the acquisition in June 2012 of APEX in Canada. The APEXWare™ software suite significantly expanded our field sales/service software offerings. APEXWare™ is a purpose-built mobile application suite ideally suited to the automation of field sales/service and warehouse workers. Additionally, we continue to expand our deployment and MobileCare support offerings. In 2012 we moved our headquarters location to a larger facility in Irvine, CA in order to accommodate the expansion of our express depot and technical support organizations. We also continue to invest in our "MobileCare EMM" enterprise mobility management offering. In 2008, we recognized the need for customers to outsource their mobile device management ("MDM") needs, thus we invested in building out a MDM practice that offers these services under a comprehensive managed service model. We have extended this offering from our historically ruggedized mobile computer customer base to address the growth of consumer devices in the enterprise and support the Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) and Bring Your Own Application (BYOA) movement. Recognizing that we cannot build every business application, we have developed an 'ecosystem' of partners which support our custom and off-the-shelf solutions. These partners include suppliers of mobile devices (Apple, Intermec, Motorola, among others), wireless carriers (AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile, Verizon), mobile peripheral manufactures (Zebra Technologies Corporation, Datamax - O'Neil), in addition to a host of specialized independent software vendors such as AirWatch, VeriFone GlobalBay, XRS and Wavelink. We are focused on several commercial enterprise markets. These include retail, field sales/service, warehousing and distribution and transportation. With the continued growth of the mobile internet, we expect to see our current markets growth in addition to the emergence of new markets. In order to identify these new markets we recently created a new internal organization whose sole purpose is to identify and nurture new market opportunities. We expect our customers to continue to embrace and deploy new technology to better enhance their own customers' experiences and improve their own operations while lowering their operating costs. Our expertise and understanding of our customers' operations and business operations in general, coupled with our expertise and understanding of mobile technology equipment and software offerings enables us to identify new trends and opportunities and provide these new solutions to our existing and potential customers. 29-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Table of Contents At DecisionPoint, we deliver to our customers the ability to make better, faster and more accurate business decisions by implementing industry-specific, enterprise wireless and mobile computing systems for their front-line mobile workers, inside and outside of the traditional workplace. It is these systems that provide the information to improve the hundreds of individual business decisions made each day. Historically, critical information has remained locked away in the organization's enterprise computing systems, accessible only when employees were at their desks. Our solutions unlock this information and deliver it to employees when needed regardless of their location. As a result, our customers are able to move their business decision points closer to their customers which we believe in turn improves customer service levels, reduces cost and accelerates business growth. We have several offices throughout North America which allows us to serve our multi-location clients and their mobile workforces. We provide depot services through our West and East coast facilities. Additionally, we are always keenly aware of potential acquisition candidates that can provide complementary products and service offerings to our customer base. Business Combinations Illume Mobile Acquisition On July 31, 2012 ("Illume Closing Date"), we consummated an asset purchase agreement ("Asset Purchase Agreement") with MacroSolve, Inc. Pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement, we purchased the business (including substantially all the related assets) of the seller's Illume Mobile division ("Illume Mobile"), based in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Founded in 1996, Illume Mobile is a mobile business solutions provider that services mobile products and platforms. Illume Mobile's initial core business is the development and integration of business applications for mobile environments. Today, Illume Mobile serves the mobile application development needs of a wide range of customers, from Fortune 500s to small and medium-sized businesses. It delivers advanced, mobile apps for many device platforms including iPad, iPhone and Android with functionality including 3D animation, mobile video, augmented reality, GPS, and more. Illume Mobile seeks to leverage its combination of creativity, technical savvy, years of mobile experience, and market insight to enable customers to envision their mobile applications and bring them to reality, providing the most value in the shortest amount of time. For more information regarding this acquisition, (see "Note 5 - Business Combinations" in the accompanying Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional details). Apex Systems Integrators Acquisition On June 4, 2012 ("Closing Date"), pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement ("Purchase Agreement"), we acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of Apex Systems Integrators Inc. ("Apex"), a corporation organized under the laws of the Province of Ontario, Canada. Apex is a provider of wireless mobile work force software solutions. Its suite of products utilizes the latest technologies to empower the mobile worker in many areas including merchandising, sales and delivery; field service; logistics and transportation; and, warehouse management. Its clients are North American companies that are household names whose products and services are used daily to feed, transport, entertain and care for people throughout the world. For more information regarding this acquisition, (see "Note 5 - Business Combinations" in the accompanying Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional details). The operating results of Illume Mobile have been included in our results of operations beginning August 1, 2012 and operating results of Apex have been included in our results of operations beginning June 5, 2012. 30-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Table of Contents Pro Forma Disclosure of Financial Information (unaudited) The following table summarizes our unaudited consolidated results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2012, as if the Apex and Illume acquisitions had occurred on January 1, 2012 (in thousands): December 31, 2012 2012 as reported pro forma Net sales $ 71,501 $ 73,703Net loss attributable to common shareholders (4,820 ) (6,887 ) Net loss per share - basic and diluted (0.61 ) (0.87 ) Included in the pro forma combined results of operations are the following adjustments for Apex: (i) amortization of intangible assets for the years ended December 31, 2012 of $572,000, (ii) a net increase in interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2012 of $291,000. Included in the pro forma combined results of operations are the following adjustments for Illume Mobile: (i) amortization of intangible assets for the year ended December 31, of $125,000. Net loss per share assumes the 325,000 shares issued in connection with the Apex acquisition and the 617,284 shares issued in connection with the Illume Mobile acquisition are outstanding for each period presented (see "Note 5 - Business Combinations" in the accompanying Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional details). The historical financial information of Apex has been extracted for the periods required from the historical financial statements of Apex Systems Integrators, Inc. which were prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The historical financial information of Illume Mobile has been derived from using internally generated management reports for the periods required. The unaudited pro forma financial information is not intended to represent or be indicative of the Company's consolidated results of operations that would have been reported had the Apex and Illume Mobile acquisitions been completed as of the beginning of the period presented, nor should it be taken as indicative of the Company's future consolidated results of operations. Results of Operations For comparison purposes, all dollar amounts have been rounded to nearest million while all percentages are actual. Year ended December 31, 2013 2012 Increase/(Decrease) Total revenue $ 60.7 $ 71.5 $ (10.8 ) -15.1 % Gross profit $ 12.7 $ 15.0 $ (2.3 ) -15.4 % Total operating expenses $ 17.5 $ 18.2 $ (0.6 ) -3.5 % Loss from operations $ (4.8 ) $ (3.1 ) $ 1.7 54.1 %Loss before provision for income taxes $ (5.4 ) $ (4.0 ) $ 1.4 35.7 % Net loss attributable to common shareholders $ (7.8 ) $ (4.8 ) $ 3.0 61.9 % Total Revenue Revenues for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 is summarized below: Increase Year ended December 31, (Decrease) 2013 2012 Hardware $ 38.0 $ 48.5 -21.8 % Professional services 16.7 16.4 1.7 % Software 4.4 4.5 -1.8 % Other 1.6 2.1 -21.6 % $ 60.7 $ 71.5 -15.1 % 31-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Table of Contents Revenues were $60.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2013, compared to $71.5 million for the same period ended December 31, 2012, a decrease of $10.8 million or 15.1%. Revenues for Apex and Illume Mobile for the years ended 2013 and December 31, 2012 were $2.5 million, $1.0 million, and $1.1 million, $0.4 million, respectively. Excluding the impact of Apex and Illume Mobile acquisitions in 2012, revenues decreased by $12.8 million, or 18.2% over the prior year with the largest decrease occurring in hardware sales where sales decreased by 21.8%. The improved economic conditions in the U.S. which had begun in the first half of 2010, and continued improvement throughout 2011 and 2012 have had a positive effect on our sales. The economic environment in 2012 stabilized whereupon we benefitted from renewed interest and more importantly, fundamental need to implement new cost saving technology. As a result, the 20.4% increase in hardware revenues for the year ended December 31, 2012 compared to the same period in 2011 was due to the increase in system upgrades of mobile computing at the retail level for some of our largest customers. With respect to the substantial decrease of hardware sales of 21.8% in 2013 as compared to 2012, major retail chains are coming off 2012 where the improved economic environment in some areas had driven refresh cycles by customers. Additionally, some customers have delayed purchases that we would have expected to be made in 2013 as they are evaluating various options for competing operating platforms. The increase in professional services for the year ended December 31, 2013 compared to the same period in 2012 of 1.7% relates to custom mobile application development, including deployment and staging services to support our customer's technology upgrades. Our software revenues for the year ended December 31, 2013 compared to the same period in 2012 was relatively stable. The decrease in other revenues relates to a reallocation of corporate resources away from the lower volume for consumables and towards the professional services business. Cost of Sales Cost of sales for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 is summarized below: Increase Year ended December 31, (Decrease) 2013 2012 Hardware $ 31.0 $ 40.2 -22.8 % Professional services 11.3 11.3 0.4 % Software 4.5 3.7 20.5 % Other 1.2 1.3 -11.2 % $ 48.0 $ 56.5 -15.0 % The types of expenses included in the cost of sales line are hardware costs, third party licenses, costs associated with third party professional services, salaries and benefits for project managers and software engineers, freight, consumables and accessories. Cost of sales were $48.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2013, compared to $56.5 million for the same period ended December 31, 2012, a decrease of $8.5 million or 15.0%. The decrease in cost of sales for hardware of 22.8% for the year ended December 31, 2013 compared to the same period in 2012 was slightly higher than the hardware revenue decrease due the change in product mix of hardware items. The cost of sales for professional services from the year ended December 31, 2013 was comparable to the year ended December 31, 2012 and increased by only 0.4%. The increase in cost of sales for professional services of 0.4% was 1.3% lower than the revenue decline of 1.7% and was due to increased professional service personnel costs associated with the carry-over of revenue growth from the prior year. The increase in cost of sales for software of 20.5% for the year ended December 31, 2013 compared to the same period in 2012 was related to amortization of intangible assets associated with the Apex and Illume Mobile acquisitions. The decrease in other cost of sales of 11.2% for the year ended December 31, 2013 relates to the decrease in the other revenues. 32-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Table of Contents Gross Profit Gross profit for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 is summarized below: Year ended December 31, Increase 2013 2012 (Decrease) Hardware $ 7.0 $ 8.3 $ (1.3 ) -15.7 % Professional services 5.4 5.1 0.3 5.9 % Software (0.1 ) 0.8 (0.9 ) -112.5 % Other 0.4 0.8 (0.4 ) -50.2 % $ 12.7 $ 15.0 $ (2.3 ) -15.3 % Our gross profit was $12.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2013, compared to $15.0 million for the same period ended December 31, 2012, a decrease of $2.3 million or 15.3%. Our gross margin percentage of 21.0% in 2013 is comparable to the same period of 2012. The decrease in gross profit of $2.3 million was driven by the decrease in overall revenue of $10.8 million. In addition, the decrease in gross profit was partly due to the increase of $300,000 in amortization of intangible assets associated with Apex and Illume Mobile acquisitions as 2013 reflected a full year of amortization for such intangibles. Additionally, we have continued to implement increased cost control for the products and services which we resell, our professional service costs were positively impacted by our better utilization associated with greater recognized revenue from these services in the current twelve months and therefore, we realized higher margins on those services. The gross profit for professional services increased by $0.3 million, or 5.9% over the prior comparable period. The gross profit margin for software decreased by $0.9 million, to ($0.1) million for the year ended December 31, 2013. The gross profit for hardware decreased by $1.3 million, or 15.7% over the prior year comparable period and was driven by a mix change. Selling, General and Administrative Expenses Year ended December 31, 2013 2012 Increase/(Decrease) Selling, general and administrative expenses $ 18.3 $ 18.2 $ 0.1 0.8 % Adjustment to earn-out obligations $ (0.8 ) $ - (0.8 ) Total operating expenses $ 17.5 $ 18.2 (0.70 ) -3.7 % As a percentage of sales 28.9 % 25.4 % Selling, general and administrative expenses, excluding the adjustment to earn-out obligations, were $18.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2013, compared to $18.2 million for the same period in the prior year. This represents an increase of $0.1 million, or 0.8%. The change was due to the increase in sales salary related expenses of $1.5 million over the prior year comparable period, of which part relates to the expansion of the sales force in the U.S. tasked with bringing the APEXWare™ product to the U.S. market. Warehouse related expenses increased by $0.3 million over the prior year comparable period and was primarily associated with Apex and Illume Mobile acquisitions in 2013 reflected a full year of expenses. Offset to the increased selling, general and administrative expenses noted above were expense reduction measures to include, but not limited to, consolidation of information technology environments, consolidation of our east coast depot facility in to our larger California facility, reduction of outsourced consulting expertise where unnecessary and replacing certain service providers with lower cost providers. As a result of some of these measures, we recognized reductions in professional fees of $0.9 million and legal expenses of $0.4 million. We also recognized reductions in other miscellaneous expenses of $0.4 million, of which approximately $0.2 million related to personnel reductions. We consolidated administrative personnel and reduced staffing levels by 29% from April 2013 through February 2014, constituting annual future savings of $3 million. The result of these activities has reduced the expense structure of the consolidated business significantly. The Company is focused on improving processes and continuing cost reduction efforts. The adjustment to earn-out obligations were $0.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2013. The fair value of the Apex earn-out was calculated to be approximately CDN$1,076,000 (US$1,033,000 at the closing date). At September 30, 2013, the calculated earn-out payment due under the Apex purchase agreement was CDN$341,000 ($US$331,000). The adjustment of CDN$735,000 (US$713,000) was recorded as a separate component of operating expenses in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss as of December 31, 2013. The fair value of the Illume Mobile earn-out payment was calculated to be approximately $107,000 at the closing date. At September 30, 2013, the calculated earn-out payment due under the Illume purchase agreement was zero. The adjustment of $107,000 was recorded as a separate component of operating expenses in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss as of December 31, 2013. 33-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Table of Contents Year ended December 31, 2013 2012 Increase/(Decrease) Depreciation and amortization In cost of sales $ 0.8 $ 0.5 $ 0.3 59.9 % In operating expenses 1.2 1.0 0.2 11.4 % Total depreciation and amortization $ 2.0 $ 1.6 $ 0.4 27.3 % As a percentage of sales 3.3 % 2.2 % Finance and administration expenses saw an increase in amortization of intangible assets as a result of the Apex and Illume acquisitions in 2012. Amortization expense of intangible assets for the years ended December 2013 and 2012, totaled $1.9 million and $1.5 million, respectively. Interest Expense Interest expense, which is related to our line of credit, subordinated debt and our obligations with related parties, was $959,000 for the year ended December 31, 2013, compared to $998,000 for the same period ended December 31, 2012. The $39,000, or 3.9% decrease in interest expense was the result of decreased general debt obligations outstanding in 2013 compared to the prior year. In the second half of 2013, interest expense decreased by $173,000, or 26.6% over the comparable period in the prior year. Other (Income) Expense Other (income) expense for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, totaled $(38,000) and $(116,000), respectively. During 2013, we recognized a $296,000 favorable adjustment to the fair value of our warrant liabilities. Liquidity and Capital Resources Liquidity and Going Concern Matters Our consolidated financial statements were prepared on a going concern basis in accordance with GAAP. The going concern basis of presentation assumes that we will continue in operation for the next twelve months and will be able to realize our assets and discharge our liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business and do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from our inability to continue as a going concern. Our history of losses, working capital deficit, capital deficit, minimal liquidity and other factors raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. In order for us to continue operations beyond the next twelve months and be able to discharge our liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business, we must establish profitable operations through increased sales, successfully implement cost cutting measures, avoid further unforeseen expenses, potentially raise additional equity or debt capital, and successfully refinance our current debt obligations when they come due in February of 2015. There can be no assurance that we will be able achieve sustainable profitable operations or obtain additional funds when needed or that such funds, if available, will be obtainable on terms satisfactory to us. If the Company continues to incur operating losses and/or does not raise sufficient additional capital, material adverse events may occur including, but not limited to, 1) a reduction in the nature and scope of the Company's operations, 2) the Company's inability to fully implement its current business plan and/or 3) continued defaults under the various loan agreements. A covenant default would give the bank the right to demand immediate payment of all outstanding amounts which the Company would not be able to repay out of normal operations. There are no assurances that the Company will successfully implement its plans with respect to these liquidity matters. The consolidated financial statements do not reflect any adjustment that may be required resulting from the adverse outcome relating to this uncertainty. Cash and Cash Flow Although we have historically experienced losses, a material part of those losses were from non-cash transactions (refer to the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.) In connection with these losses, we have accumulated substantial net operating loss carry-forwards to off-set future taxable income. In order to maintain normal operations for the foreseeable future, we must continue to have access to our line of credit, become profitable and/or access additional equity capital. There can be no assurance that we will become profitable or that we can continue to raise additional funds required to continue our normal operations. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that would be required should we not be successful with these activities. Funds generated by operating activities and our credit facilities continue to be our most significant sources of liquidity. For the year ended December 31, 2013, our revenue decreased approximately 15.1%, compared to the year ended December 31, 2012, due to the lower level of retail customers system refreshes and system implementations. Excluding the impact of Apex and Illume Earn-Out adjustment, we had a $0.1 million increase in selling, general and administrative expenses in 2013 compared to 2012, partly due to inclusion of the results from Apex and Illume Mobile along with increased selling expenses of bringing the APEXWare™ product to the U.S. market, professional expenses and investor relations expenses related to being a public company along with an increase in amortization expense of intangible assets, all resulted in higher operating loss for 2013. We believe that our strategic shift to higher margin field mobility solutions with additional APEXWare™ software and professional service revenues will improve our results as economic conditions continue to improve. In the year ended December 31, 2013, we experienced a decrease in revenue of $10.8 million compared to the year ended December 31, 2012. In 2013, we incurred approximately $2.5 million in increased expenses due to professional fees relating to capital raising activities, the registration of common shares as a result of the Series D Preferred Stock offering, Series E Preferred Stock offering, common stock private placement and associated audit fees, and other matters such as employee termination costs. We experienced a net loss of $5.2 million which were far in excess of the internal forecast maintained by the management team. In addition, we have a substantial working capital deficit totaling $(9.9) million at December 31, 2013. Although a portion of this deficit is associated with deferred costs and unearned revenues and term debt that has been classified current due to expected future covenant violations (see Note 10 - "Term Debt" in the accompanying Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements), our liabilities that are expected to be satisfied in the foreseeable future in cash far exceed the operating assets that are expected to be satisfied in cash. As a result, the availability under our credit line has contracted significantly and our overall liquidity has become significantly constrained. On August 15, 2013, we entered into a securities purchase agreement (the "Purchase Agreement") with accredited investors for the sale of common stock for gross proceeds of $1,756,400 (including $100,000 from management and existing shareholders of the Company) for 2,927,333 shares of common stock. The effective price of the offering was $0.60 per share of common stock. An initial closing for $1,556,400 was held on August 15, 2013. The final closing for $200,000 was held on August 21, 2013. Additionally, pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company issued 1,463,667 warrants to accredited investors at an initial exercise price of $1.00 per share. Further, the Company issued 292,833 warrants to the placement agent at an initial exercise price of $0.60 per share. The warrants received liability accounting treatment under existing technical standards. We received net proceeds of approximately $1.5 million from the offering, after deducting the placement agent's fees of 10% and other offering expenses of approximately $256,000, of which $1.1 million was recorded as a warrant liability. 34-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Table of Contents In November 2013, we entered into a securities purchase agreement ("Series E Purchase Agreement") with accredited investors for the sales of $4,090,000 in gross proceeds for 409,000 shares of Series E Convertible Preferred Stock ("Series E Preferred Shares") for a purchase price of $10.00 per share. The Conversion Price is $0.50, subject to adjustment in the event of stock splits, stock dividends and similar transactions, and in the event of subsequent equity sales at a lower price per share, subject to certain exceptions. The Company received net proceeds of approximately $3.5 million from the closings, after deducting the placement agent's fees of 8% and other offering expenses of approximately $590,000 (before reduction of the fair value of placement agent warrants of $278,000). The Company issued to the Placement Agent five-year warrants to purchase 818,000 shares of our common stock (equal to 10% of the number of shares of common stock underlying the Series E Preferred Shares sold under the Series E Purchase Agreement) at an exercise price of $0.55 per share, in connection with the Series E Purchase Agreement initial closing. During 2012 and 2013, all principal and interest payments on our term debt were made within payment terms. To address liquidity constraints, we have reduced non-essential expenses. Such expense reduction measures include, but are not limited to, consolidation of information technology environments, consolidation of our east coast depot facility in to our larger California facility, reduction of outsourced consulting expertise where unnecessary and replacing certain service providers with lower cost providers. We have also consolidated administrative personnel and reduced staffing levels by 29% from April 2013 through February 2014, constituting annual savings of $3 million. The result of these activities has reduced the expense structure of the consolidated business significantly. We are focused on improve processes and continuing cost reduction efforts. We have no plans to seek additional capital through the sale of our securities unless deemed necessary. Should additional financing be needed, there is no assurance that such amounts will be available on terms acceptable to us, or at all. If we raise additional funds by selling additional shares of our capital stock, or securities convertible into shares of our capital stock, the ownership interest of our existing shareholders will be diluted. As a matter of course, we do not maintain significant cash balances on hand since we are financed by a line of credit. Typically, we use any excess cash to repay the then outstanding line of credit balance. As long as we continue to generate revenues and meet our financial covenants, we are permitted to draw down on our line of credit to fund our normal working capital needs. As of December 31, 2013, the outstanding balance on our SVB line of credit was approximately $3.9 million and the interest rate is 7.0%. Availability under the line of credit was $3.3 million as of December 31, 2013. Our SVB line matures in February 2015. As of December 31, 2013, we were in compliance with the tangible Net Worth financial covenant and had available a $0.8 million cushion over the requirement. On February 27, 2013, we obtained an additional $1.0 million term loan from SVB (see below under "2013 Financing Common Stock Private Placement and Preferred Series E Private Placement") As part of the Apex Purchase Agreement, from the Closing Date up until the expiry of the bonus period, we are obligated to escrow 25% of any Equity Capital raised in excess of $500,000. The funds in the escrow are to be used to pay the 2013 EBITDA Basic Earn-Out and the 2013 EBITDA Additional Earn-Out and the additional bonus consideration. In December 2012, the Company raised $7,042,000 as part of the Series D Purchase Agreement. In August 2013, the Company raised $1,756,000 as part of the Common Stock Purchase Agreement. In November 2013, the Company raised $4,090,000 as part of the Series E Purchase Agreement. None of these funds have been placed into escrow pending agreement between the Company and the sellers of Apex regarding the financial institution that will escrow the funds, the amount of funds that are to be placed in escrow and the escrow agreement itself. In the last five complete years of operations from 2009 through 2013, we have not experienced any significant effects of inflation on our product and service pricing, revenues or our income from continuing operations. As of December 31, 2013, we had cash of approximately $0.6 million. We have used, and plan to use, such cash for general corporate purposes, including working capital. As of December 31, 2013, we had negative working capital of $9.9 million and total stockholders' deficit of ($0.9) million. As of December 31, 2012, we had negative working capital of $9.1 million and total stockholders' equity of $0.9 million. We experienced a net loss of $5.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2013. Although a portion of this working capital deficit is associated with deferred costs and unearned revenues and term debt that has been classified current due to expected future covenant violations (see further discussion at Note 10 - "Term Debt" in the accompanying Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements), the liabilities of the Company that are expected to be satisfied in the foreseeable future in cash exceed the operating assets that are expected to be satisfied in cash. As explained above in the discussion of our use of "non-GAAP financial measures," we monitor our 'cash' working capital position after removing the accrual effect of the current deferred assets and liabilities. We believe this non-GAAP measure provides investors with a better understanding of operating financial position of our company. 35-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Table of Contents Adjusted Working Capital at December 31, 2013 and 2012 are computed as follows (in thousands): December 31, 2013 2012 Current assets $ 16,912 $ 18,708 Current liabilities 26,788 27,801 Working capital - GAAP (9,876 ) (9,093 ) Deferred cost (3,809 ) (3,955 ) Deferred revenue 7,481 7,409 Adjusted working capital - non-GAAP measure $ (6,204 ) $ (5,639 ) 2013 Financing Common Stock Private Placement and Preferred Series E Private Placement Silicon Valley Bank Financing On February 27, 2013, we and Silicon Valley Bank ("SVB"), entered into an Amendment (the "Amendment") to Loan and Security Agreement, which amended the terms of the Loan and Security Agreement dated as of December 15, 2006 (as amended, the "Loan Agreement"). Pursuant to the Amendment, SVB made a new term loan to us on February 27, 2013, of $1,000,000 ("Term Loan II"). Repayment of Term Loan II, together with accrued interest thereon, is due in 36 monthly installments commencing on the first day of the month following the month in which the funding date of Term Loan II occurred. Pursuant to the Amendment, the Loan Agreement was amended to provide that the revolving credit line thereunder will accrue interest at an annual rate equal to 3.75 percentage points above the Prime Rate, which may be further reduced to 3.25 percentage points above the Prime Rate after we achieve two consecutive fiscal quarters (beginning with any fiscal quarter ending on or after March 31, 2013) of profitability. In addition, the maturity date of the revolving credit line under the Loan Agreement was extended to February 28, 2015, the principal amount outstanding under the Term Loan under the Loan Agreement will accrue interest at a fixed annual rate equal to 9.0%, the principal amount outstanding under the Term Loan II will accrue interest at a fixed annual rate equal to 7.5%, and we agreed to pay an anniversary fee of $100,000 on February 28, 2014. The Amended SVB Loan Agreement includes various customary covenants, limitations and events of default. Financial covenants, among others, include liquidity and fixed charge coverage ratios, minimum tangible net worth requirements and limitations on indebtedness. As of December 31, 2012, we were in compliance with all of its financial covenants with SVB. As of May 31, 2013 and June 30, 2013, we were not incompliance with the Tangible Net Worth covenant as defined in the Amended SVB Loan Agreement. On August 16, 2013, we signed an agreement ("Forbearance Agreement") where SVB agreed to temporarily forbear from exercising their rights and remedies under the facility until August 28, 2013 and agreed to waive the existing covenant violations if a gross capital raise of $1.5 million is completed by such date. We completed the capital raise and were able to achieve compliance with the forbearance agreement prior to August 28, 2013. Except for any capital raises through August 28, 2013, the minimum Tangible Net Worth requirement of a $(9.7) million deficit will be further reduced by one half of any funds raised through sales of common stock (as only 50% of additional capital raises are given credit in the Tangible Net Worth calculation). In November 2013, we entered into a definitive subscription agreement with accredited investors for the sale of Series E Preferred Stock, raising $4.1 million in gross proceeds (exclusive of $875,000 in costs). In November 2013, the SVB Loan Agreement was amended whereby the minimum Tangible Net Worth requirement of a $(9.7) million deficit was reduced by 25% of funds raised in the sale of Series E Preferred stock to a $(8.7) million deficit. As of December 31, 2013, we were in compliance with the Tangible Net Worth financial covenant and had available a $0.8 million cushion over the requirement. We currently believe that at the time of this filing we are compliant with the terms and provisions of its SVB lending agreement and expect to continue to meet the requirements of our SVB financial covenants over the short and long term. Should we continue to incur losses in a manner consistent with its recent historical financial performance, we will violate this covenant without additional net capital raises in amounts that are approximately twice the amount of the losses incurred. Common Stock Private Placement On August 15, 2013, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the "Common Stock Purchase Agreement") with multiple accredited investors relating to the issuance and sale of Common Stock in a private offering. On August 15, 2013, the initial closing date (the "Common Stock Initial Closing") of the Purchase Agreement, we sold (i) an aggregate of 2,594,000 shares of our Common Stock for $0.60 per share and (ii) Common Stock Purchase Warrants (the "Investor Warrants") for the purchase of an aggregate of 1,297,000 shares for aggregate gross proceeds of $1,556,400. The Investor Warrants have a five-year term, an initial exercise price of $1.00 and contain certain provisions for anti-dilution and price adjustments in the event of a future offering. 36-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Table of Contents On August 21, 2013, the final closing date (the "Common Stock Final Closing") of the Purchase Agreement, we sold (i) an aggregate of 333,333 shares of our Common Stock for $0.60 per share and (ii) 166,667 Investor Warrants for aggregate gross proceeds of $200,000. For a period commencing on the Initial Closing and terminating on a date which is 24 months from the Initial Closing, in the event we issue or grant any shares of Common Stock or securities convertible, exchangeable or exercisable for shares of Common Stock pursuant to which shares of Common Stock may be acquired at a price less than $0.60 per share, then we shall promptly issue additional shares of Common Stock to the investors under the Purchase Agreement in an amount sufficient that the subscription price paid, when divided by the total number of shares issued (shares purchased under the Purchase Agreement plus the additional shares issued under this provision), will result in an actual price paid by the investor per share of Common Stock equal to such lower price. On December 10, 2013, the Company issued 585,467 shares of its common stock as a result of the anti-dilution adjustment triggered by the sale of Series E Preferred Shares. The closings on August 15, 2013 and August 21, 2013, common stock issued to investors contained certain price protection provisions. The shares were valued at $263,000 and were recorded as deemed dividend as of December 31, 2013. If we at any time while the Investor Warrants are outstanding, shall sell or grant an option to purchase, or sell or grant any right to reprice, or otherwise dispose of or issue any common stock or securities convertible, exchangeable or exercisable for shares of common stock, at an effective price per share less than the exercise price of the Investor Warrants then in effect, the exercise price of the Investor Warrants will be reduced to equal to such lower price. As a result of the sale of Series E Preferred Shares, the conversion price of the Investor Warrants was reduced to $0.50 per share on November 12, 2013. Pursuant to the Common Stock Purchase Agreement, we agreed to, within 30 days of August 21, 2013, file a registration statement (the "Common Stock Registration Statement") with the Securities and Exchange Commission covering the re-sale of the Common Shares and the shares of common stock underlying the Investor Warrants. We also agreed to use its best efforts to have the Common Stock Registration Statement become effective as soon as possible after filing (and in any event within 120 days of the filing of such Common Stock Registration Statement. If the Common Stock Registration Statement is not declared effective within the requisite period of time, a partial liquidated damage equal to 2% of the purchase price paid by each investor shall be payable on each monthly anniversary until it becomes effective. In no event shall the partial liquidated damage exceed 10% of the purchase price paid by each investor. On October 4, 2013, the Common Stock Registration Statement was declared effective by the SEC. We paid the placement agent $175,600 in commissions (equal to 10% of the gross proceeds), and issued to the Placement Agent five-year warrants (the "Placement Agent Warrants") to purchase 292,733 shares of our common stock (equal to 10% of the number of shares of common stocksold under the Purchase Agreement). The Placement Agent Warrants have a five-year term, an initial exercise price of $0.60 and contain provisions for anti-dilution and price adjustments in the event of a future offering. If we at any time while the Placement Agent Warrants are outstanding, shall sell or grant an option to purchase, or sell or grant any right to reprice, or otherwise dispose of or issue any common stock or securities convertible, exchangeable or exercisable for shares of common stock, at an effective price per share less than the exercise price of the Placement Agent Warrants, the exercise price of the Placement Agent Warrants then in effect will be reduced to equal to such lower price. As a result of the sale of Series E Preferred Shares described below, the conversion price of the Placement Agent Warrants was reduced to $0.50 per share on November 12, 2013. We recorded the Investor Warrants and Placement Agent Warrants as a liability (see further disclosure at Note 4 - "Warrant Liability" in the accompanying Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements)). Accordingly, the net proceeds raised ($1.7 million in gross offering proceeds, net of $0.2 million in cost) were allocated to the fair value of the warrant liability of $1.1 million and the remainder was recorded as equity ($0.4 million). As a result of the Common Stock Private Placement closed on August 15, 2013 and August 21, 2013, the Conversion Price of the Series D Preferred Stock was reduced to $0.90. As a result of the Common Stock Private Placement closed on November 12, 2013 and November 22, 2013, the Conversion Price of the Series D Preferred Stock was reduced to $0.71. As a result of the reduction in conversion price, the Company recorded a contingent beneficial conversion feature dividend of $1.3 million. Preferred Series E Private Placement On November 12, 2013, we entered into and closed a securities purchase agreement (the "Series E Purchase Agreement") with accredited investors (the "Investors"), pursuant to which the Company sold an aggregate of 383,500 shares of Series E Preferred Stock (the "Series E Preferred Shares") for a purchase price of $10.00 per share, for aggregate gross proceeds of $3,835,000 (the "Series E First Closing"). 37-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Table of Contents We retained Taglich Brothers, Inc. (the "Placement Agent") as the placement agent for the Series E First Closing. We paid the Placement Agent $306,800 in commissions (equal to 8% of the gross proceeds), and issued to the Placement Agent five-year warrants (the "Placement Agent Warrants") to purchase 767,000 shares of common stock (equal to 10% of the number of shares of common stock underlying the Series E Preferred Shares sold under the Purchase Agreement) at an exercise price of $0.55 per share, in connection with the Series E First Closing. In addition, we will pay Sigma Capital Advisors $115,050 (equal to 3% of the gross proceeds from the Series E First Closing) as a finder's fee. On November 22, 2013, we sold an additional 25,500 shares of Series E Preferred Stock to accredited investors for a purchase price of $10.00 per share, for aggregate gross proceeds of $255,000 (the "Series E Second Closing", and together with the Series E First Closing, the "Series E Closings") pursuant to the Series E Purchase Agreement for an aggregate of 409,000 shares of Series E Preferred Stock sold. The Placement Agent acted as the placement agent for the Series E Second Closing as well. We paid the Placement Agent $20,400 in commissions (equal to 8% of the gross proceeds), and issued to the Placement Agent and its designees Placement Agent Warrants to purchase 51,000 shares of common stock (equal to 10% of the number of shares of common stock underlying the Series E Preferred Shares sold under the Series E Purchase Agreement) at an exercise price of $0.55 per share, in connection with the Series E Second Closing. In addition, the Company will pay Sigma Capital Advisors $7,650 (equal to 3% of the gross proceeds from the Series E Second Closing) as a finder's fee. Our proceeds from the Series E Closings, before deducting placement agent fees, finder's fees and other expenses, were approximately $4.1 million. Approximately $0.6 million was used to pay fees and expenses of this offering, and $3.5 million are funds available for general corporate purposes. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, we agreed to, within 60 days of the final closing under the Purchase Agreement, (a) file a registration statement (the "Registration Statement") with the SEC covering the re-sale of the Series E Preferred Shares, the shares of common stock underlying the Series E Preferred Shares, the shares of Series E Preferred Stock issuable as dividends on the Series E Preferred Shares ("PIK Shares"), the shares of common stock underlying the PIK Shares, and the shares of common stock underlying the Placement Agent Warrants, (b) file a registration statement under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, with the SEC registering the class of Series E Preferred Stock, and (c) use our best efforts, including seeking and cooperating with one or more market makers, to cause the quotation of the Series E Preferred Stock on the OTC Bulletin Board and the OTCQB tier of the OTC Markets Group. We also agreed to use our best efforts to have the Registration Statement become effective as soon as possible after filing (and in any event within 90 days of the filing of such Registration Statement), and to keep such Registration Statement effective for a minimum of three years. The initial registration statement was filed on January 10, 2014. If the registration statement is not declared effective by January 21, 2014, a partial liquidated damage equal to 0.1% of the purchase price paid by each investor shall be payable on each monthly anniversary until the registration statement becomes effective. In no event shall the partial liquidated damage exceed 0.6% of the purchase price paid by each investor. On January 22, 2014, the registration statement was declared effective by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. In connection with the Series E First Closing, on November 12, 2013, we filed a Certificate of Designation of Series E Preferred Stock (the "Series E Certificate of Designation") with the Secretary of State of Delaware. Pursuant to the Series E Certificate of Designation, we designated 2,000,000 shares of the Company's preferred stock as Series E Preferred Stock. The Series E Preferred Stock has a Stated Value of $10.00 per share, does not have voting rights, and is convertible, at the option of the holder, into such number of shares of common stock equal to the number of shares of Series E Preferred Stock to be converted, multiplied by the Stated Value, divided by the Conversion Price in effect at the time of the conversion. The initial Conversion Price is $0.50, subject to adjustment in the event of stock splits, stock dividends and similar transactions, and in the event of subsequent equity sales at a lower price per share, subject to certain exceptions. The Series E Preferred Stock entitles the holder to cumulative dividends (subject to the prior dividend rights of the Company's Series D Preferred Stock), payable quarterly, at an annual rate of (i) 10% of the Stated Value during the three year period commencing on the date of issue, and (ii) 14% of the Stated Value commencing three years after the date of issue. We may, at our option (subject to certain conditions), pay dividends in shares of Series E Preferred Stock, in which event the applicable dividend rate will be 14% and the number of shares issuable as a dividend will be equal to the aggregate dividend payable divided by the lesser of (x) the then effective Conversion Price or (y) the average volume weighted average price of our common stock for the five prior consecutive trading days. Pursuant to the Series E Certificate of Designation, upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of our Company, holders of Series E Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive (following payment in full of amounts owed to in respect of the Company's Series D Preferred Stock), for each share of Series E Preferred Stock, an amount equal to the Stated Value of $10.00 per share plus any accrued but unpaid dividends thereon before any distribution or payment may be made to the holders of any common stock, Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, or subsequently issued preferred stock. 38-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Table of Contents Pursuant to the Series E Certificate of Designation, commencing on the trading day on which the closing price of the common stock is greater than $1.35 for thirty consecutive trading days with a minimum average daily trading volume of at least 10,000 shares for such period, and at any time thereafter, we, in our sole discretion, may effect the conversion of all of the outstanding shares of Series E Preferred Stock to common stock (subject to the condition that, all of the shares issuable upon such conversion may be re-sold without limitation under an effective registration statement or pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act")). In connection with the Series E First Closing, on November 12, 2013, we filed Amendment No. 2 to our Certificate of Designation of Series A Preferred Stock (the "Series A Amendment"), and Amendment No. 2 to our Certificate of Designation of Series B Preferred Stock (the "Series B Amendment"). Pursuant to the Series A Amendment and the Series B Amendment, the Series A Preferred Stock and the Series B Preferred Stock will be subordinate to the Series D and E Preferred Stock with respect to any distributions upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of our Company, respectively. In connection with the Series E First Closing, on November 12, 2013, we filed a Certificate of Elimination of Series C Preferred Stock (the "Series C Certificate of Elimination"), pursuant to which, the 5,000,000 shares of our preferred stock that had been designated as Series C Preferred Stock were returned to the status of blank check preferred stock. 2012 Financing and Preferred Series D Private Placement Royal Bank of Canada and BDC Capital, Inc. Financing On June 4, 2012, Apex entered into a Credit Agreement ("RBC Credit Agreement") with Royal Bank of Canada ("RBC"), pursuant to which RBC made available certain credit facilities in the aggregate amount of up to CDN$2,750,000 (US$2,641,000 at the Closing Date), including a revolving demand facility with an authorized limit of CDN$200,000 (US$192,000 at the Closing Date). The RBC Term Loan accrues interest at RBP plus 4% (7% at December 31, 2013). Principal and interest is payable over a three year period at a fixed principal amount of CDN $69,444 a month beginning in July 2012 and continuing through June 2015. Apex paid approximately $120,000 in financing costs, which has been recorded as deferred financing costs and is being amortized to interest expense over the term of the loan. In addition, the RBC Term Loan calls for mandatory repayments based on 20% of Apex's free cash flow as defined in the RBC Credit Agreement, before discretionary bonuses based on the annual year end audited financial statements of Apex, beginning with the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012, and payable within 30 days of the delivery of the annual audited financial statements, and continuing every six months through December 31, 2014. As of December 31, 2013, the Company estimates that the mandatory repayment based on 20% of Apex's free cash flow will be $0. The RBC Term Loan has certain financial covenants and other non-financial covenants. As of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, Apex was not in compliance with the Fixed Charge Coverage ratio covenant as defined in the RBC Credit Agreement. At June 30, 2013, Apex was not in compliance with the Maximum Funded Debt to EBITDA ratio covenant as defined in the RBC Credit Agreement. In March 2013, May 2013 and August 2013, we received waivers for noncompliance of these covenants at December 31, 2012, March 31, 2013 and June 30, 2013. On August 16, 2013 the RBC Credit Agreement was amended and certain financial covenants were modified. Pursuant to the amended credit agreement and commencing with the fiscal year ending December 31, 2013, we are required to maintain a fixed coverage ratio, calculated on a consolidated basis of not less than 1.15:1 with a step-up to 1.25:1 as of March 31, 2014, tested on a rolling four quarter basis thereafter and a ratio of funded debt to EBITDA, calculated on an annual consolidated basis of not greater than 3.0:1, tested on a rolling four quarter basis thereafter. As part of the revised financial covenants, covenant testing was waived by RBC for September 30, 2013. We are not in compliance with the reset covenants at December 31, 2013. Although we believe it is improbable RBC will exercise their rights up to, and including, acceleration of the outstanding debt, there can be no assurance that RBC will not exercise their rights pursuant to the provisions of the debt obligation. Accordingly, we have classified the term debt obligation as current at December 31, 2013. On June 4, 2012, Apex also entered into the BDC Loan Agreement with BDC Capital Inc. ("BDC"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Business Development Bank of Canada, pursuant to which BDC made available to Apex a term credit facility ("BDC Credit Facility") in the aggregate amount of CDN $1,700,000 (USD $1,632,340 at the Closing Date). The BDC Term Loan initially accrued interest at the rate of 12% per annum, and matures on June 23, 2016, with an available one year extension for a fee of 2%, payable at the time of extension. On April 29, 2013, the BDC Term Loan was amended to accrue interest at the rate of 12.5% per annum. In addition to the interest payable, consecutive quarterly payments of CDN$20,000 as additional interest are due beginning on June 23, 2012, and subject to compliance with bank covenants, Apex will make a mandatory annual principal payment in the form of a cash flow sweep which will be equal to 50% of the Excess Available Funds (as defined by the BDC Loan Agreement) before discretionary bonuses based on the annual year end audited financial statements of Apex. The maximum annual cash flow sweep in any year will be CDN$425,000. As of December 31, 2013, we estimate the cash sweep will be $0. Such payments will be applied to reduce the outstanding principal payment due on the maturity date. In the event that Apex's annual audited financial statements are not received within 120 days of its fiscal year end, the full CDN$425,000 becomes due and payable on the next payment date. Apex paid approximately $70,000 in financing costs which $35,000 has been recorded as deferred financing costs and $35,000 recorded as a note discount in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2012, and is being amortized to interest expense over the term of the loan. As of December 31, 2013, there was $22,000 in unamortized deferred financing costs and $22,000 in unamortized note discount. 39-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Table of Contents The BDC Loan Agreement contains certain financial and non-financial covenants which may materially impact our liquidity, including minimum working capital requirements, tangible net worth requirements and limitations on additional indebtedness. Under the BDC Loan Agreement, violation of this covenant is an Event of Default which grants BDC the right to demand immediate payment of outstanding balances. In March 2013, May 2013 and August 2013, we received waivers for non-compliance of these covenants at December 31, 2012, March 31, 2013 and June 30, 2013. On August 22, 2013, the BDC Term Loan was amended and certain financial covenants were modified. Pursuant to the amended loan agreement, the Company is required to maintain, for the duration of the investment, a term debt to equity ratio not exceeding 1.1:1 (measured annually); and an adjusted current ratio of 0.40:1 (measured annually) and revised yearly 120 days after each year end. We were in compliance with all of our BDC financial covenants as of December 31, 2013. Currently, we expect to continue to meet the requirements of our BDC financial covenants over the short and long term. In connection with the BDC Loan Agreement, BDC executed a subordination agreement in favor of Silicon Valley Bank, pursuant to which BDC agreed to subordinate any security interest in assets of the Company granted in connection with the BDC Loan Agreement to Silicon Valley Bank's existing security interest in assets of the Company. The subordination agreement contains cross-default provisions which may materially impact our liquidity. In the event either or both of the RBC Loan Agreement or the BDC Loan Agreement were deemed to be in default, RBC or BDC, as applicable, could, among other things (subject to the rights of SVB as the Company's senior lender), terminate the facilities, demand immediate repayment of any outstanding amounts, and foreclose on our assets. Any such action would require us to curtail or cease operations. The Company does not have alternative sources of financing. Preferred Series D Private Placement On December 20, 2012, we entered into and closed a securities purchase agreement (the "Series D Purchase Agreement") with accredited investors (the "Series D Investors"), pursuant to which we sold an aggregate of 633,600 shares of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Series D Preferred Shares") for a purchase price of $10.00 per share, for aggregate gross proceeds of $6,336,000 (the "Series D First Closing"). We retained Taglich Brothers, Inc. (the "Series D Placement Agent") as the placement agent for the Series D First Closing. We paid the Placement Agent $506,880 in commissions (equal to 8% of the gross proceeds), and issued to the Placement Agent five-year warrants (the "Placement Agent Warrants") to purchase 633,600 shares of our common stock (equal to 10% of the number of shares of common stock underlying the Series D Preferred Shares sold under the Purchase Agreement) at an initial exercise price of $1.10 per share, in connection with the Series D First Closing. The Investors included certain of our officers, directors and employees, who purchased an aggregate of 20,700 Series D Preferred Shares. We used $4.7 million of the proceeds from the Series D Closing to redeem all of our outstanding shares of Series C Preferred Stock. On December 31, 2012, we sold an additional 70,600 shares of Series D Preferred Stock for a purchase price of $10.00 per share, for aggregate gross proceeds of $706,000 (the "Series D Second Closing", and together with the Series D First Closing, the "Series D Closings") pursuant to the Series D Purchase Agreement for an aggregate of 704,200 shares of Series D Preferred Stock sold. The Series D Placement Agent acted as the placement agent for the Series D Second Closing as well. We paid the Series D Placement Agent $56,480 in commissions (equal to 8% of the gross proceeds), and issued to the Series D Placement Agent Placement Agent Warrants to purchase 70,600 shares of common stock (equal to 10% of the number of shares of common stock underlying the Series D Preferred Shares sold under the Series D Purchase Agreement) at an exercise price of $1.10 per share, in connection with the Series D Second Closing for an aggregate of 704,200 such Series D Placement Agent Warrants. The Series D Investors included one of our officers who purchased an aggregate of 2,500 Series D Preferred Shares. Our proceeds from the Series D Closings, before deducting placement agent fees and other expenses, were approximately $7.0 million. We used $4.7 million for redemption of all of our outstanding shares of Series C Preferred Stock. Approximately $1.0 million was used to pay fees and expenses of the offering, and $1.3 million are funds are available for general corporate purposes. Pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement, we are required to place 25% of net offering proceeds, as defined, in an escrow account to satisfy our payment obligations of certain earn-out provisions. These funds have not been placed into escrow pending agreement between the Company and the sellers under the stock purchase agreement regarding the financial institution that will escrow the funds, the amount of funds that are to be placed in escrow and the escrow agreement itself. 40-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Table of Contents In connection with the Series D First Closing, on December 20, 2012, we filed a Certificate of Designation of Series D Preferred Stock (the "Series D Certificate of Designation") with the Secretary of State of Delaware. Pursuant to the Series D Certificate of Designation, we designated 4,000,000 shares of our preferred stock as Series D Preferred Stock. The Series D Preferred Stock has a Stated Value of $10.00 per share, votes on an as-converted basis with the common stock, and is convertible, at the option of the holder, into such number of shares of our common stock equal to the number of shares of Series D Preferred Stock to be converted, multiplied by the Stated Value, divided by the Conversion Price in effect at the time of the conversion. The initial Conversion Price is $1.00, subject to adjustment in the event of stock splits, stock dividends and similar transactions, and in the event of subsequent equity sales at a lower price per share, subject to certain exceptions. As a result of the private placement closed on August 15, 2013 and August 21, 2013, the Conversion Price of the Series D Preferred Stock was reduced to $0.90. As a result of the private placement closed on November 12, 2013 and November 22, 2013, the Conversion Price of the Series D Preferred Stock was further reduced to $0.71. As a result of the reduction in conversion price, the Company recorded a contingent beneficial conversion feature of $1.3 million. The Series D Preferred Stock entitles the holder to cumulative dividends, payable quarterly, at an annual rate of (i) 8% of the Stated Value during the three year period commencing on the date of issue, and (ii) 12% of the Stated Value commencing three years after the date of issue. We may, at our option, pay dividends in PIK Shares, in which event the applicable dividend rate will be 12% and the number of such PIK Shares issuable will be equal to the aggregate dividend payable divided by the lesser of (x) the then effective Conversion Price or (y) the average volume weighted average price of the Company's common stock for the five prior consecutive trading days. Upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of our Company, holders of Series D Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive, for each share of Series D Preferred Stock, an amount equal to the Stated Value of $10.00 per share plus any accrued but unpaid dividends thereon before any distribution or payment may be made to the holders of any common stock, Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, or subsequently issued preferred stock. In addition, commencing on the trading day on which the closing price of the common stock is greater than $2.00 for thirty consecutive trading days with a minimum average daily trading volume of at least 5,000 shares for such period, and at any time thereafter, we may, in our sole discretion, effect the conversion of all of the outstanding shares of Series D Preferred Stock to common stock (subject to the condition that, all of the shares issuable upon such conversion may be re-sold without limitation under an effective registration statement or pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act). The Series D Preferred Stock holders also were granted registration rights which required the Company to file a registration statement with the SEC within 60 days of the final closing date (December 31, 2012), and to have the registration statement declared effective within 90 days thereafter. The initial registration statement was filed on February 12, 2013. Failure of the registration statement to be declared effective by May 12, 2013, resulted in a partial liquidated damage equal to 0.1% of the purchase price paid by each investor to become payable on each monthly anniversary until the registration statement was declared effective. On July 30, 2013, the registration statement was declared effective by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. On October 15, 2013, the Company paid liquidated damages of $18,000. Cash Flows from Operating, Investing and Financing Activities Information about our cash flows, by category, is presented in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. The following table summarizes our cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 (in millions): Year ended December 31, 2013 2012 Increase/(Decrease) Operating activities $ (4.2 ) $ 1.7 $ (5.9 ) -347.1 % Investing activities (0.0 ) (5.1 ) (5.1 ) -99.9 % Financing activities 3.8 4.1 (0.3 ) -7.3 % 41-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Table of Contents Cash used in operating activities for 2013 increased by $5.9 million over the prior year. The decrease in cash from operations was primarily driven by the increase in net loss for the year ended December 31, 2013 of $1.4 million. Additionally, the changes in net working capital and other balance sheet changes contributed to a $4.6 million decrease in cash used in operating activities, most notably from $2.2 million decrease in accounts payable due to timing of payables. For the year ended December 31, 2012, net cash provided by operating activities was $1.7 million. Our net loss was $3.9 million in 2012, a portion of which was the result of non-cash transactions during the year. Specifically, we had a $0.3 million non-cash expense related to employee and non-employee stock based compensation and $1.3 million of other non-cash transactions such as depreciation and amortization. Additionally, our cash position was positively affected by the net change in our unearned revenue of $0.1 million associated with increased deferred revenues and associated costs. Net cash used in investing activities was $45,000 for the year ended December 31, 2013 and was related to purchases of property and equipment. Net cash used in investing activities was $5.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2012, and was primarily related to the combined cash payment for the acquisition of Apex Systems Integrators, Inc. and Illume Mobile in June and July 2012, respectively, of $5.0 million along with $0.1 million for purchases or property and equipment. During the year ended December 31, 2013, net cash provided by financing activities was $3.8 million, primarily due to $3.5 million related to the issuance of Series E Preferred (net of expenses), $1.5 million related to the issuance of common stock (net of expenses), $1 million in proceeds from the bank term loan, offset by payments on the lines of credit and term debt of $1.6 million and payments of $0.4 million for the Series D Preferred Stock dividend. During the year ended December 31, 2012, net cash provided by financing activities was $4.1 million, primarily due to $4.0 million due to the issuance of term loans, $6.0 million related to the issuance of Series D Preferred (net of expenses), and $1.5 million in cash received in our reverse recapitalization (net of expenses). Cash used in financing activities was a result of $4.5 million in Series C Preferred Stock retirement, $0.6 million of net repayments on the line of credit, $1.4 million of senior long-term debt repayment, $0.6 million for the Series C Preferred Stock dividends and $0.3 million in financing costs. Critical Accounting Policies Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Critical accounting policies are those that require the application of management's most difficult, subjective, or complex judgments, often because of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain and that may change in subsequent periods. In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management has utilized available information, including our past history, industry standards and the current economic environment, among other factors, in forming its estimates and judgments, giving due consideration to materiality. Actual results may differ from these estimates. In addition, other companies may utilize different estimates, which may impact the comparability of our results of operations to those of companies in similar businesses. We believe that the following critical accounting policies involve a high degree of judgment and estimation: Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts We have policies and procedures for reviewing and granting credit to all customer accounts, including: · Credit reviews of all new customer accounts, · Ongoing credit evaluations of current customers, · Credit limits and payment terms based on available credit information, · Adjustments to credit limits based upon payment history and the customer's current credit worthiness, and · An active collection effort by regional credit functions, reporting directly to the corporate financial officers. 42-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Table of Contents We maintain allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of our customers to make required payments. These allowances are highly judgmental and require assumptions based on both recent trends of certain customers estimated to be a greater credit risk, as well as historical trends of the entire customer pool. If the financial condition of our customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances may be required. To mitigate this credit risk we perform periodic credit evaluations of our customers. Inventory Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined under the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. We periodically review our inventory and make provisions as necessary for estimated obsolete and slow-moving goods. We mark down inventory by an amount equal to the difference between cost of inventory and the estimated market value based upon assumptions about future demands, selling prices and market conditions. The creation of such provisions results in a write-down of inventory to net realizable value and a charge to cost of sales. Goodwill and Long-Lived Assets Goodwill represents the excess purchase price paid over the fair value of the net assets of acquired companies. Goodwill is subject to impairment testing as necessary, (at least once annually at December 31) if changes in circumstances or the occurrence of certain events indicate potential impairment. In assessing the recoverability of our goodwill, identified intangibles, and other long-lived assets, significant assumptions regarding the estimated future cash flows and other factors to determine the fair value of the respective assets must be made, as well as the related estimated useful lives. The fair value of goodwill and long-lived assets is estimated using a discounted cash flow valuation model and observed earnings and revenue trading multiples of identified peer companies. If these estimates or their related assumptions change in the future as a result of changes in strategy or market conditions, we may be required to record impairment charges for these assets in the period such determination was made. Intangible Assets We make judgments about the recoverability of purchased finite-lived intangible assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that impairment may exist. Recoverability of finite-lived intangible assets is measured by comparing the carrying amount of the asset to the future undiscounted cash flows that the asset is expected to generate. If it is determined that an individual asset is impaired, the amount of any impairment is measured as the difference between the carrying value and the fair value of the impaired asset. The assumptions and estimates used to determine future values and remaining useful lives of our intangible are complex and subjective. They can be affected by various factors, including external factors such as industry and economic trends, and internal factors such as changes in our business strategy and our forecasts. Fair Value Financial assets and liabilities are measured at fair value, which is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The following is a fair value hierarchy based on three levels of inputs, of which the first two are considered observable and the last unobservable, that may be used to measure fair value: · Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. · Level 2 - Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in 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. · Level 3 - Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. The Company's significant Level 3 inputs relate to warrant liabilities. 43-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Table of Contents Income Taxes We account for income taxes in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") guidance, which requires deferred tax assets and liabilities, be recognized using enacted tax rates to measure the effect of temporary differences between book and tax bases on recorded assets and liabilities. FASB guidance also requires that deferred tax assets be reduced by a valuation allowance, if it is more likely than not some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be recognized. We evaluate on an annual basis its ability to realize deferred tax assets by assessing its valuation allowance and by adjusting the amount of such allowance, if necessary. The factors used to assess the likelihood of realization are forecasts of future taxable income and available tax planning strategies that could be implemented to realize the net deferred tax assets. In accordance with FASB guidance on accounting for uncertainty in income taxes, we evaluate tax positions to determine whether the benefits of tax positions are more likely than not of being sustained upon audit based on the technical merits of the tax position. For tax positions that are more likely than not of being sustained upon audit, we recognize the largest amount of the benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. For tax positions that are not more likely than not of being sustained upon audit, we do not recognize any portion of the benefit. If the more likely than not threshold is not met in the period for which a tax position is taken, we may subsequently recognize the benefit of that tax position if the tax matter is effectively settled, the statute of limitations expires, or if the more likely than not threshold is met in a subsequent period. Translation of Foreign Currencies The Company's functional currency is the U.S. dollar. The financial statements of the Company's foreign subsidiary is measured using the local currency, in this case the Canadian dollar (CDN$), as its functional currency and is translated to U.S. dollars for reporting purposes. Assets and liabilities of the subsidiary are translated at exchange rates as of the balance sheet dates. Revenues and expenses of the subsidiary are translated at the rates of exchange in effect during the year. Revenue recognition Revenues are generated through product sales, warranty and maintenance agreements, software customization, and professional services. Product sales are recognized when the following criteria are met (1) there is persuasive evidence that an arrangement exists; (2) delivery has occurred and title has passed to the customer, which generally happens at the point of shipment provided that no significant obligations remain; (3) the price is fixed and determinable; and (4) collectability is reasonably assured. We generate revenues from the sale of extended warranties on wireless and mobile hardware and systems. Revenue related to extended warranty and service contracts is recorded as unearned revenue and is recognized over the life of the contract and we may be liable to refund a customer for amounts paid in certain circumstances. This has not been an issue for us historically. We also generate revenue from software customization and professional services on either a fee-for-service or fixed fee basis. Revenue from software customization and professional services that is contracted as fee-for-service, also referred to as per-diem billing, is recognized in the period in which the services are performed or delivered. Adjustments to contract price and estimated labor costs are made periodically, and losses expected to be incurred on contracts in progress are charged to operations in the period such losses are determined. We enter into revenue arrangements that contain multiple deliverables. Judgment is required to properly identify the accounting units of the multiple deliverable transactions and to determine the manner in which revenue should be allocated among the accounting units. Moreover, judgment is used in interpreting the commercial terms and determining when all criteria of revenue recognition have been met for each deliverable in order for revenue recognition to occur in the appropriate accounting period. In an arrangement with multiple deliverables, the delivered item or items shall be considered a separate unit of accounting if both of the following criteria are met: (i) the delivered item or items have value to the customer on a standalone basis; (ii) if the arrangement includes a general right of return relative to the delivered item, delivery or performance of the undelivered item or items is considered probable and substantially in the control of the vendor. A delivered item or items that do not qualify as a separate unit of accounting within the arrangement shall be combined with the other applicable undelivered item(s) within the arrangement and the allocation of arrangement consideration and the recognition of revenue then shall be determined for those combined deliverables as a single unit of accounting. While changes in the allocation of the arrangement consideration between the units of accounting will not affect the amount of total revenue recognized for a particular sales arrangement, any material changes in these allocations could impact the timing of revenue recognition, which could affect the Company's results of operations. When we enter into an arrangement that includes multiple elements, we allocate revenue based on their relative selling prices. We use a hierarchy to determine the selling price to be used for allocating revenue to deliverables: (i) vendor specific objective evidence of fair value ("VSOE"), (ii) third party evidence of selling prices ("TPE") and (iii) best estimate of selling price ("ESP") as a proxy for VSOE. When both VSOE and TPE are unavailable, we use ESP. We determine ESP by considering all relevant factors in establishing the price, which is demonstrated in a gross margin model used. 44-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Table of Contents Revenue from software licenses may contain arrangements with multiple deliverables, including post-contract customer support, that are subject to software revenue recognition guidance. The revenue for these arrangements is allocated to the software and non-software deliverable based on the relative selling prices of all components in the arrangement using the criteria above. Post-contract support is recognized ratably over the support period. When a contract contains multiple elements wherein the only undelivered element is post-contract customer support and VSOE of the fair value of post-contract customer support does not exist, revenue from the entire arrangement is recognized ratably over the support period. Software royalty revenue is recognized in arrears on a quarterly basis, based upon reports received from licensees during the period, unless collectability is not reasonably assured, in which case revenue is recognized when payment is received from the licensee. Stock-based compensation We record the fair value of stock-based payments as an expense in our consolidated financial statements. We determine the fair value of stock options using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. This valuation model requires us to make assumptions and judgments about the variables used in the calculation. These variables and assumptions include the weighted-average period of time that the options granted are expected to be outstanding, the volatility of our common stock, the risk-free interest rate and the estimated rate of forfeitures of unvested stock options. Additional information on the variables and assumptions used in our stock-based compensation are described in Note 14 of the accompanying notes to our consolidated financial statements. Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements There were no off-balance sheet arrangements as of December 31, 2013. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-11, which amends guidance in ASC740, Income Taxes. ASU No. 2013-11 amends existing guidance related to the financial presentation of unrecognized tax benefits by requiring an entity to net its unrecognized tax benefits against the deferred tax assets for all available same-jurisdiction loss or other tax carryforwards that would apply in settlement of the uncertain tax positions. The amendments will be effective beginning in the first quarter of 2014 with early adoption permitted, will be applied prospectively to all unrecognized tax benefits that exist at the effective date, and are not expected to have a material effect on our consolidated financial position or results of operations. In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-10, which amends the guidance in ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging. ASU No. 2013-10 permits the Fed Funds Effective Swap Rate to be used as a U.S. benchmark interest rate for hedge accounting purposes, in addition to the U.S. government rate and LIBOR. This amended guidance is to be applied prospectively and is effective for qualifying new or redesignated hedging relationships entered into on or after July 17, 2013. The implementation of the amended accounting guidance has not had, and is not expected to have, a material impact on our consolidated financial position or results of operations. In February 2013, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2013-02, which amends the guidance in Accounting Standard Codification ("ASC") 220 on Comprehensive Income. ASU 2013-02 requires an entity to report the effect of significant reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income on the respective line items in net income if the amount being reclassified is required to be reclassified in its entirety to net income. For other amounts that are not required to be reclassified in their entirety to net income in the same reporting period, an entity is required to cross-reference other disclosures that provide additional detail about those amounts. The amendments do not change the current requirements for reporting net income or other comprehensive income in financial statements. For public entities, the amendments are effective prospectively for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2012. Early adoption is permitted. The implementation of the amended accounting guidance has not had, and is not expected to have, a material impact on our consolidated financial position or results of operations. |
