2. Basis of Presentation

The accompanying interim consolidated balance sheet and statement of stockholders’ equity as of September 30, 2017, and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss and cash flows for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, are unaudited. The unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared according to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and, therefore, certain information and disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States have been omitted.

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements for the periods presented reflect all adjustments, which are normal and recurring, necessary to fairly state the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows. These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016 filed with the SEC.

Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2017.

3. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In July 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2017-11, Earnings Per Share (Topic 260) Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (Topic 480) Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815) (“ASU 2017-11”), which changes the classification analysis of certain equity-linked financial instruments (or embedded features) with down round features.  When determining whether certain financial instruments should be classified as liabilities or equity instruments, a down round feature no longer precludes equity classification when assessing whether the instrument is indexed to an entity’s own stock.  ASU 2014-11 also clarifies existing disclosure requirements for equity-classified instruments.  As a result, a freestanding equity-linked financial instrument (or embedded conversion option) no longer would be accounted for as a derivative liability at fair value as a result of the existence of a down round feature.  For freestanding equity classified financial instruments, ASU 2017-11 requires entities that present earnings per share (EPS) in accordance with ASC Topic 260 to recognize the effect of the down round feature when it is triggered.  That effect is treated as a dividend and as a reduction of income available to common shareholders in basic EPS.  ASU 2017-11 is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period.  If an entity early adopts ASU 2017-11 in an interim period, any adjustments should be reflected as of the beginning of the fiscal year that includes that interim period in either of the following ways:  (1) Retrospectively to outstanding financial instruments with a down round feature by means of a cumulative-effect adjustment to the statement of financial position as of the beginning of the first fiscal year and interim period(s) in which ASU 2017-11 is effective or (2) Retrospectively to outstanding financial instruments with a down round feature for each reporting period presented in accordance with the guidance on accounting changes in paragraphs 250-10-45-5 through 45-10.  

The Company has elected to early adopt ASU 2017-11 during the three months ended September 30, 2017 by applying ASU 2017-11 retrospectively to outstanding financial instruments with a down round feature for each prior reporting period presented which includes the quarter ended September 30, 2016 in accordance with the guidance on accounting changes in paragraphs 250-10-45-5 through 45-10. (See Note 19).

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing all lease transactions (with terms in excess of 12 months) on the balance sheet as a lease liability and a right-of-use asset (as defined). The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods

6

---

 

within those fiscal years, with earlier application permitted.  Upon adoption, the lessee will apply the new standard retrospectively to all periods presented or retrospectively using a cumulative effect adjustment in the year of adoption.  The Company will be evaluating the impact of this guidance on our consolidated financial statements.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606).  The amendments to this Update supersede nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance under U.S. GAAP. The core principle of this Topic is to recognize revenues when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration that is expected to be received for those goods or services. This Topic defines a five-step process to achieve this core principle and, in doing so, it is possible more judgment and estimates may be required within the revenue recognition process than required under existing U.S. GAAP, including identifying performance obligations in the contract, estimating the amount of variable consideration to include in the transaction price and allocating the transaction price to each separate performance obligation. In July 2015, the FASB deferred the effective date for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017 (including interim reporting periods within those periods). Early adoption is permitted to the original effective date of December 15, 2016 (including interim reporting periods within those periods). The amendments may be applied retrospectively to each prior period presented or retrospectively with the cumulative effect recognized as of the date of initial application. The Company will be evaluating the impact of this guidance on our consolidated financial statements.

4. Going Concern Evaluation    

In connection with preparing consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, management evaluated whether there were conditions and events, considered in the aggregate, that raised substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year from the date that the financial statements are issued.

The Company considered the following:

Ordinarily, conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern relate to the entity’s ability to meet its obligations as they become due.

The Company evaluated its ability to meet its obligations as they become due within one year from the date that the financial statements are issued by considering the following:

Management believes that the Company will generate enough cash from operations to satisfy its obligations for the next twelve months.

The Company will take the following actions, if it starts to trend unfavorably to its internal profitability and cash flow projections, in order to mitigate conditions or events that would raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern:

5. Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents are primarily held in two financial institutions and are uninsured except for the minimum Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation coverage and have original maturity dates of three months or less.  As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, bank balances totaling approximately $3.7 million and $2.1 million, respectively, were uninsured.

6. Accounts Receivable

The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and generally does not require collateral.  The Company maintains reserves for estimated credit losses and those losses have been within management’s estimates.  Allowances for product returns are included in other adjustments to accounts receivable on the consolidated balance sheets.  Product returns are estimated based on historical experience and management estimations.

The Company is utilizing the accounts receivable balances to secure the related party short-term notes payable.

7. Impairment or Disposal of Long Lived Assets

Long-lived assets to be held are reviewed for events or changes in circumstances, which indicate that their carrying value may not be recoverable.  They are tested for recoverability using undiscounted cash flows to determine whether or not impairment to such value has occurred as required by FASB ASC Topic No. 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment.  The Company determined there was no impairment as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016. 

8. Equipment and Improvements

Equipment and improvements are stated at cost.  Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method based on the estimated useful lives of the assets, generally ranging from three to seven years.  Leasehold improvements are amortized using the straight-line method over the shorter of the estimated useful life of the asset or the lease term.

9. Goodwill

In accordance with FASB ASC Topic No. 350, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other, we review the recoverability of the carrying value of goodwill at least annually or whenever events or circumstances indicate a potential impairment. The Company’s impairment testing will be done annually at December 31. Recoverability of goodwill is determined by comparing the fair value of the Company’s reporting units to the carrying value of the underlying net assets in the reporting units. If the fair value of a reporting unit is determined to be less than the carrying value of its net assets, goodwill is deemed impaired and an impairment loss is recognized to the extent that the carrying value of goodwill exceeds the difference between the fair value of the reporting unit and the fair value of its other assets and liabilities. The Company determined that there was no goodwill impairment at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016.

10. Intangible Assets

The following table sets forth our acquired intangible assets by major asset class as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 (in thousands except for useful life data):

Intangible assets amortization expense was $0.1 million and $0.2 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively, and $0.1 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016.  The Company determined there was an impairment of its Customer Relationships intangible asset in the amount of $0.4 million as of December 31, 2016. 

Future amortization expense related to intangible assets as of September 30, 2017 are as follows (in thousands):

 

 

11. Restructuring

The following is the activity in our restructuring liability for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 (in thousands):

 

 

Of the total $1.6 million balance, $0.2 million is reported in accrued liabilities and $1.4 million is reported in deferred rent and other long-term liabilities on the balance sheet.

12. Debt

Short-Term Debt

At September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the carrying value and the aggregate fair value of the Company’s short-term debt were as follows (in thousands):

 

 

On February 7, 2017, the Company entered into a short-term secured borrowing arrangement with William W. and Dieva L. Smith (“Smith”) and on February 8, 2017 entered into a short-term secured borrowing arrangement with Steven L. and Monique P. Elfman (“Elfman”) pursuant to which Smith and Elfman each loaned to the Company $1 million and the Company issued to each of them a Secured Promissory Note (the “Original Notes”) bearing interest at the rate of 18% per annum.  The Original Notes were due on March 24, 2017 are secured by the Company’s accounts receivable and certain other assets.  William W. Smith, Jr. is the Company’s Chairman of the Board, President and Chief Executive Officer, and Steven L. Elfman is a director of the Company.  

On March 25, 2017, the Company entered into an Amendment to the Original Note issued to Smith that extended the Maturity Date of the Note to June 26, 2017.  

On March 31, 2017, the Company entered into a new short-term secured borrowing arrangement with Elfman for $1 million which matured on June 23, 2017.  

On June 30, 2017, the Company entered into a new short-term secured borrowing arrangement with each of Smith and Elfman to refinance the prior arrangement with each of them, which matured on June 26, 2017 and June 23, 2017, respectively. Under the new

borrowing arrangements, the Company issued to each of Smith and Elfman a new Secured Promissory Note (“Replacement Notes”) with a principal balance of $1 million, bearing interest at the rate of 12% per annum, and maturing on September 25, 2017. The maturity date of the Replacement Note entered into with Smith may be extended by up to 180 days upon the mutual consent of the Company and Smith.  Each of the Replacement Notes are secured by the Company’s accounts receivable and certain other assets.

On August 22, 2017, the Company entered into Amendments to the Replacement Notes issued to each of Smith and Elfman, which extended the Maturity Date of the Replacement Notes from September 25, 2017 to January 25, 2018. The amendments do not change any other terms of the Replacement Notes.

On August 23, 2017, the Company entered into a new borrowing arrangement with Smith, under which the Company borrowed $0.8 million and issued to Smith a new Secured Promissory Note, bearing interest at the rate of 12% per annum, and maturing on January 25, 2018.

On August 24, 2017, the Company entered into a new borrowing arrangement with Andrew Arno (“Arno”), under which the Company borrowed $0.3 million and issued to Arno new Secured Promissory Notes with an aggregate principal balance of $0.3 million, bearing interest at the rate of 12% per annum, and maturing on January 31, 2018. Andrew Arno is a director of the Company.    

On September 29, 2017, the Company exchanged shares of the Company’s newly designated Series B 10% Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series B Preferred Stock”) for outstanding short-term indebtedness with a principal amount of $0.8 million owed to Smith and $0.1 million to Arno for 750 and 50 shares, respectively. See Note 19, Equity Transactions, for further details on the Series B Preferred Stock Offering.

The Company reviewed FASB ASC Topic No. 470-50, Debt Extinguishment, to evaluate the debt extinguishment gain incurred from the debt to equity transaction. Upon completion of the evaluation, it was determined that the gain associated with the short-term related party loan extinguishment to Preferred Stock should be accounted for as a capital contribution and was recorded to Stockholder’s Equity. The principal balance of the note and resulting fair value of the equity interest exchanged was $0.8 million. The fair value was reduced by allocated legal fees and other direct issuance costs of $0.1 million, resulting in a net fair value of $0.8 million. The capital contribution related to the gain was the difference between these two amounts, or $0.1 million.

The Company evaluated the refinancing of the short-term debt instruments under FASB ASU Topic No. 470-60, Troubled Debt Restructurings, to determine whether the modification of the debt instruments would be considered a troubled debt restructuring, using the two-step decision tree. The two steps included an assessment of whether the company is experiencing financial difficulties and if the creditors have provided concessions. Upon completion of this review, the Company concluded that the refinancing did not qualify as a troubled debt restructuring.  

Long-Term Debt

At September 30, 2017, the aggregate fair value and the carrying value of the Company’s long-term debt was as follows (in thousands):

 

 

The carrying value of $1.5 million and $2.6 million are net of debt discount of $0.4 million and $1.2 million and debt issuance costs of $0.1 million and $0.2 million as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.

On September 2, 2016, we entered into a Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement with Unterberg Koller Capital Fund L.P. and William W. and Dieva L. Smith (collectively, the “Investors”), pursuant to which the Company issued and sold to the Investors in a private placement senior subordinated promissory notes in the aggregate principal amount of $4 million (the “Notes”). The Company completed the transactions contemplated by the Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement and issued the Notes on September 6, 2016.  The Notes mature three years following the issuance date, or September 6, 2019, and bear interest at the rate of 10% of the outstanding principal balance of the Notes, payable quarterly in cash or shares of the Company’s common stock.  The Notes are subordinate and junior in right of payment to the prior payment in full of all claims, whether now existing or arising in the future, of holders of senior debt of the Company, as described in the Notes.

On September 29, 2017, the Company exchanged shares of the Company’s newly designated Series B 10% Convertible Preferred Stock for outstanding long-term indebtedness with a principal amount of $2 million owed to Smith for 2,000 of the Series B Preferred Stock. See Note 19, Equity Transactions, for further details on the Series B Preferred Stock Offering.

The Company reviewed FASB ASC Topic No. 470-50, Debt Extinguishment, to evaluate the debt extinguishment loss incurred from the transaction. Upon completion of the evaluation, it was determined that the loss associated with the long-term related party loan extinguishment to Preferred Stock should be accounted through the Statement of Operations.  The principal balance of the note and resulting fair value of the equity interest transferred was $2 million. The fair value was reduced by legal fees and other direct issuance costs of $0.1 million. The net carrying amount of the long-term note was $1.5 million, which was net of debt issuance costs of $0.1 million and discount of $0.4 million. The extinguishment loss associated with this note was the difference between the net fair value of the equity interest transferred and the net carrying amount of the note being extinguished, which was $0.4 million.

The Company evaluated the conversion of the long-term debt under FASB ASU Topic No. 470-60, Troubled Debt Restructurings, for determining whether the modification of the debt instruments would be considered a troubled debt restructuring, using the two-step decision tree. The two steps included an assessment of whether the company is experiencing financial difficulties and if the creditors have provided concessions. Upon completion of this review, the Company concluded that the refinancing did not qualify as troubled debt restructuring.

 

13. Net Loss Per Share

The Company calculates earnings per share (“EPS”) as required by FASB ASC Topic No. 260, Earnings Per Share.  Basic EPS is calculated by dividing the net income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period, excluding common stock equivalents. Diluted EPS is computed by dividing the net income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period, plus the weighted average number of dilutive common stock equivalents outstanding for the period determined using the treasury-stock method. For periods with a net loss, the dilutive common stock equivalents are excluded from the diluted EPS calculation. For purposes of this calculation, common stock subject to repurchase by the Company, options, and warrants are considered to be common stock equivalents and are only included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share when their effect is dilutive.

On August 15, 2016, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment to its Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of Delaware for the purpose of effecting a reverse stock split (the “Reverse Split”) of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock at a ratio of one (1) share for every four (4) shares outstanding, so that every four (4) outstanding shares of common stock before the Reverse Split represents one (1) share of common stock after the Reverse Split. Proportionate adjustments were made to: (i) the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock available for equity-based awards to be granted in the future under our 2015 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan; (ii) the number of shares that would be owned upon vesting of restricted stock awards and stock options which are outstanding under our 2015 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan and 2005 Stock Option Plan, and the exercise price of any outstanding stock options, and (iii) the number of shares of Common Stock available for purchase under our Preferred Shares Rights Agreement, dated October 16, 2015, between us and Computershare Trust Company, N.A., as rights agent.  We have a total of 100,000,000 authorized shares of common stock, which remained unchanged by the reverse stock split.  The Reverse Split was approved by the Company’s stockholders at the special meeting held on August 15, 2016 and was effective on August 17, 2016.  The Company adjusted shareholders' equity to reflect the reverse stock split by reclassifying an amount equal to the par value of the additional shares arising from the split from common stock to the Additional Paid-in Capital during the third quarter of fiscal 2016, resulting in no net impact to shareholders' equity on our consolidated balance sheets. Fractional shares were rounded down to the nearest whole share.  Stockholders received cash in lieu of such fractional shares.  All information presented herein has been retrospectively adjusted to reflect the reverse stock split as if it took place as of the earliest period presented.

On September 29, 2017, the Company filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware a Certificate of Designation of Preferences, Rights and Limitations of Series B Preferred Stock of the Company (the “Certificate of Designation”), designating a total of 5,500 shares of Series B Preferred Stock.  Under the Certificate of Designation, the shares of Series B Preferred Stock have a stated value of $1,000 per share and are optionally convertible, subject to certain limitations set forth in the Certificate of Designation, into shares of the Company’s Common Stock at a conversion price of $1.14 per share, subject to adjustment in the event of a stock split, stock dividend, combination, reclassification or other recapitalization affecting the Common Stock.  

The holders of Series B Preferred Stock are entitled to receive cumulative dividends out of funds legally available thereof at a rate of ten percent (10%) per annum, payable (i) when and as declared by the Board of Directors, in quarterly installments on March 1, June 1, September 1 and December 1, and (ii) upon conversion into Common Stock with respect the Series B Preferred Stock being converted.

11

---

 

In the event that the trading price of the Company’s Common Stock for 20 consecutive trading days (as determined in the Certificate of Designation) exceeds 400% of the then effective Conversion Price of the Series B Preferred Stock (initially set at $1.14), the Company may force conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock into shares of Common Stock or elect to redeem the Series B Preferred Stock for cash.

Until the date that stockholder approval is obtained, the Certificate of Designation limits the number of shares of Common Stock that are issuable to any holder upon conversion of such holder’s Series B Preferred Stock, such that such issuances would not cause such holder to own in excess of 19.99% of the Company’s issued and outstanding Common Stock. In addition, a holder’s shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall not be converted if, after giving effect to the conversion, such holder and its affiliated persons would own beneficially more than 9.99% of the Company’s Common Stock, subject to adjustment solely at the holder’s discretion upon 61 days’ prior notice to the Company.
