SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

AND OTHER INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS REPORT

 

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this “Form 10-Q”) contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and the provisions of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Forward-looking statements give our current expectations or forecasts of future events. You can identify these statements by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. You can find many (but not all) of these statements by looking for words such as “approximates,” “believes,” “hopes,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “estimates,” “projects,” “intends,” “plans,” “would,” “should,” “could,” “may” or other similar expressions in this Form 10-Q. In particular, these include statements relating to future actions; prospective products, applications, customers and technologies; future performance or results of anticipated products; anticipated expenses; and projected financial results. These forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from our historical experience and our present expectations or projections. Factors that could cause actual results to differ from those discussed in the forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to:

 

  the effect of COVID-19, closure of offices and site location; on our ability to service our customers resulting in less revenues; 

 

  our limited cash and our history of losses;

 

  our ability to achieve profitability;

 

  customer demand for solutions we offer;

 

  the impact of competitive or alternative products, technologies and pricing;

 

  our ability to resell products without terms, without wholesale suppliers, on a prepay basis;

 

  general economic conditions and events and the impact they may have on us, on our customers and on our potential customers;

 

  our ability to obtain adequate financing in the future;

 

  our ability to continue as a going concern;

 

  our ability to complete strategic transactions, which may include acquisitions, mergers, dispositions, joint ventures or investments;

 

  lawsuits and other claims by third parties;
     
  our ability to realize some or all of the anticipated strategic, financial, operational, marketing or other benefits from our separation from Inpixon;
     
  ●  our success at managing the risks involved in the foregoing items; and
     
  ●  other factors discussed in this Form 10-Q.

 

We may not actually achieve the plans, intentions or expectations disclosed in our forward-looking statements, and you should not place undue reliance on our forward-looking statements. Actual results or events could differ materially from the plans, intentions and expectations disclosed in the forward-looking statements we make. We have included important factors in the cautionary statements included in this Form 10-Q, particularly in the “Risk Factors” section, that we believe could cause actual results or events to differ materially from the forward-looking statements that we make. Our forward-looking statements do not reflect the potential impact of any future acquisitions, mergers, dispositions, joint ventures or investments we may make or collaborations or strategic partnerships we may enter into.

 

You should read this Form 10-Q and the documents that we have filed as exhibits to this Form 10-Q completely and with the understanding that our actual future results may be materially different from what we expect. We do not assume any obligation to update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.

 

Unless otherwise stated or the context otherwise requires, the terms “Sysorex,” “we,” “us,” “our,” and the “Company” refer collectively to Sysorex, Inc. and its subsidiary, Sysorex Government Services, Inc. (“SGS”).

 

Note Regarding Reverse Stock Split

 

Except where indicated, all share and per share data in this Form 10-Q, including the financial statements, reflect the 1-for-100 reverse stock split of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock and treasury stock effected on July 30, 2019.

PART I—FINANCIAL INFORMATION

 

Item 1. Financial Statements

 

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information which are the accounting principles that are generally accepted in the United States of America and in accordance with the instructions for Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.

 

In the opinion of management, the condensed consolidated financial statements contain all material adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows of the Company for the interim periods presented.

 

The results for the period ended March 31, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for the full year. These interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and notes for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 31, 2020.

SYSOREX, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2020 AND 2019

 

Note 1 — Description of Business, the Spin-Off and Going Concern and Management’s Plans

 

Description of Business

 

Sysorex, Inc., through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Sysorex Government Services, Inc., formerly known as (f/k/a) Inpixon Federal, Inc. (“SGS”), (unless otherwise stated or the context otherwise requires, the terms “SGS” “we,” “us,” “our” and the “Company” refer collectively to Sysorex, Inc. and SGS), provides information technology solutions primarily to the public sector. These solutions include cybersecurity, professional services, engineering support, IT consulting, enterprise level technology, networking, wireless, help desk, and custom IT solutions. The Company is headquartered in Virginia.

 

Going Concern and Management’s Plans

 

As of March 31, 2020, the Company had a working capital deficit of approximately $10.3 million. In addition, the Company has a stockholders’ deficit of approximately $21.2 million. For the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company incurred net losses of approximately $1.2 million and $1.9 million, respectively. The aforementioned factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of asset amounts or the classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern within one year after the date the condensed consolidated financial statements are issued.

 

The Company does not believe that its capital resources as of March 31, 2020, availability on the Payplant facility to finance purchase orders and invoices in an amount equal to 80% of the face value of purchase orders received, funds from financing from our related party note and other short-term borrowings (as defined in Notes 5 and 6 below), higher margin public sector contracts capture, reauthorization of key vendors and credit limitation improvements will be sufficient to fund planned operations during the year ending December 31, 2020. As a result, substantial doubt exists the Company will be able to support its obligations for the next twelve months from the issuance date of the financial statements. The Company may raise additional capital as needed, through the issuance of equity, equity-linked or debt securities. The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2020 have been prepared under the assumption that we will continue as a going concern for the next twelve months from the date the financial statements are issued. Management’s plans and assessment of the probability that such plans will mitigate and alleviate any substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, is dependent upon the ability to attain funding to secure additional resources to generate sufficient revenues and increased margin. The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2020 do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

Impact of COVID 19

 

The outbreak of the novel coronavirus, SARS-CoV-2, which causes coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), has evolved into a global pandemic. COVID -19 has spread to many regions of the world, including the United States. In response to the pandemic, the Company has implemented a work from home policy, with all employees continuing their work outside of the Company’s office. The Company’s sales and services activities to our customers, predominately the Federal and Local Government, are causing disruption and curtailment of our product offering and services as many of the offices and field locations are now closed.

 

The Company is maintaining its overall headcount but continues to identify potential reductions in cash flows for operating expenses and other purchases to the extent possible. On May 3, 2020, the Company received a loan of approximately $349,700 under the Payroll Protection Program as part of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (see Note 9 – Subsequent Events). While the company expects some degree of an adverse impact on revenues in the second quarter of 2020 and possibly the third quarter of 2020, the Company will need to implement its plan as discussed above in Going Concern and Management’s Plans.

SYSOREX, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2020 AND 2019

 

Note 2 — Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with GAAP for interim financial information, which are the accounting principles that are generally accepted in the United States of America. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The results of the Company’s operations for the three-month period ended March 31, 2020 is not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2020. These interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and notes for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with SEC on March 31, 2020.

 

Note 3 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the accounting records of Sysorex and SGS. All material inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during each of the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Company’s significant estimates consist of:

 

  the allowance for doubtful accounts; and

 

  the impairment of long-lived assets.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company reports revenues under ASC 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” and all the related amendments (Topic 606)

 

The Company recognizes revenue after applying the following five steps:

 

1) identification of the contract, or contracts, with a customer;

 

2) identification of the performance obligations in the contract, including whether they are distinct within the context of the contract;

 

3) determination of the transaction price, including the constraint on variable consideration;

 

4) allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and

 

5) recognition of revenue when, or as, performance obligations are satisfied.

  

Hardware and Software Revenue Recognition

 

The Company is a primary resale channel for a large group of vendors and suppliers, including original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”), software publishers and wholesale distributors.

 

The Company accounts for a contract when it has approval and commitment from both parties, the rights of the parties are identified, payment terms are established, the contract has commercial substance and collectability of consideration is probable. The Company evaluates the following indicators amongst others when determining whether it is acting as a principal in the transaction and recording revenue on a gross basis: (i) the Company is primarily responsible for fulfilling the promise to provide the specified product or service, (ii) the Company has inventory risk before the specified good or service has been transferred to a customer or after transfer of control to the customer and (iii) the Company has discretion in establishing the price for the specified good or service. If the terms of a transaction do not indicate the Company is acting as a principal in the transaction, then the Company is acting as an agent in the transaction and the associated revenues are recognized on a net basis.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2020 AND 2019

 

Note 3 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (cont.)

 

The Company recognizes revenue once control has passed to the customer. The following indicators are evaluated in determining when control has passed to the customer: (i) the Company has a right to payment for the product or service, (ii) the customer has legal title to the product, (iii) the Company has transferred physical possession of the product to the customer, (iv) the customer has the significant risk and rewards of ownership of the product and (v) the customer has accepted the product. The Company’s products can be delivered to customers in a variety of ways, including (i) as physical product shipped from the Company’s warehouse, (ii) via drop-shipment by the vendor or supplier or (iii) via electronic delivery of keys for software licenses. The Company’s shipping terms typically specify F.O.B. destination.

 

The Company leverages drop-shipment arrangements with many of its vendors and suppliers to deliver products to its customers without having to physically hold the inventory at its warehouse. The Company is the principal in the transaction and recognizes revenue for drop-shipment arrangements on a gross basis.

 

The Company may provide integration of products from multiple vendors as a solution it sells to the customer. In this arrangement, the Company provides direct warranty to the customer with the Company’s own personnel as the customer requires warranty on the solution and not individual vendor products. This type of warranty is sold integral to the overall solution quoted to the customer. The Company considers these service-type warranties to be performance obligations of the principal from the underlying products that make up a solution and therefore is acting as a principal in the transaction and records revenue on a gross basis at the point of sale.

 

License and Maintenance Services Revenue Recognition

 

The Company provides a customized design and configuration solution for its customers and in this capacity resells hardware, software and other IT equipment license and maintenance services in exchange for fixed fees. The Company selects the vendors and sells the products and services, including maintenance services, that best fit the customer’s needs. For sales of maintenance services and warranties, the customer obtains control at the point in time that the services to be provided by a third-party vendor are purchased by the customer and therefore the Company’s performance obligation to provide the overall systems solution is satisfied at that time. The Company’s customers generally pay within 30 to 60 days from the receipt of a customer-approved invoice.

 

For resale of services, including maintenance services, warranties, and extended warranties, the Company is acting as an agent as the primary activity for those services are fulfilled by a third party. While the Company may facilitate and act as a first responder for these services, the third-party service providers perform the primary maintenance and warranty services for the customer. Therefore, the Company is not primarily responsible for performing these services and revenue is recorded on a net basis.

 

Professional Services Revenue Recognition

 

The Company’s professional services include fixed fee and time and materials contracts. Fixed fees are paid monthly, in phases, or upon acceptance of deliverables. The Company’s time and materials contracts are paid weekly or monthly based on hours worked. Revenue on time and material contracts is recognized based on a fixed hourly rate as direct labor hours are expended. Materials, or other specified direct costs, are reimbursed as actual costs and may include markup. The Company has elected the practical expedient to recognize revenue for the right to invoice because the Company’s right to consideration corresponds directly with the value to the customer of the performance completed to date. For fixed fee contracts, the Company recognizes revenue evenly over the service period using a time-based measure because the Company is providing continuous service. Because the Company’s contracts have an expected duration of one year or less, the Company has elected the practical expedient in ASC 606-10-50-14(a) to not disclose information about its remaining performance obligations. Anticipated losses are recognized as soon as they become known. For the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company did not incur any such losses. These amounts are based on known and estimated factors. Revenues from time and material or firm fixed price long-term and short-term contracts are derived principally with various United States government agencies.

Note 3 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (cont.)

 

Recent Accounting Standards

 

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (“ASU 2019-12”), which simplifies income tax accounting in various areas including, but not limited to, the accounting for hybrid tax regimes, tax implications related to business combinations, and interim period accounting for enacted changes in tax law, along with some codification improvements. ASU 2019-12 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted. Certain changes in the standard require retrospective or modified retrospective adoption, while other changes must be adopted prospectively. The Company is currently evaluating ASU 2019-12 and its impact on our consolidated financial statements.


In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)” (“ASU 2016-02”). ASU 2016-02 requires an entity to recognize assets and liabilities arising from a lease for both financing and operating leases. ASU 2016-02 will also require new qualitative and quantitative disclosures to help investors and other financial statement users better understand the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. ASU 2016-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2016-02 effective January 1, 2020. ASU 2016-02 did not have a material impact on the financial statements or disclosures.

 

Emerging Growth Company

 

Sysorex is an “emerging growth company” as defined in the JOBS Act. As such, Sysorex will be eligible to take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that apply to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies, including compliance with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. In addition, Section 107 of the JOBS Act provides that an emerging growth company may take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 13(a) of the Exchange Act, for complying with new or revised accounting standards, meaning that Sysorex, as an emerging growth company, can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. Sysorex has elected to take advantage of this extended transition period, and therefore our financial statements may not be comparable to those of companies that comply with such new or revised accounting standards.

 

Subsequent Events

 

The Company evaluates events and/or transactions occurring after the balance sheet date and before the issue date of the condensed consolidated financial statements to determine if any of those events and/or transactions requires adjustment to or disclosure in the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Note 4 — Credit Risk and Concentrations

 

Financial instruments that subject the Company to credit risk consist principally of trade accounts receivable and cash. The Company performs certain credit evaluation procedures and does not require collateral for financial instruments subject to credit risk. The Company believes that credit risk is limited because the Company routinely assesses the financial strength of its customers and, based upon factors surrounding the credit risk of its customers, establishes an allowance for uncollectible accounts and, consequently, believes that its accounts receivable credit risk exposure beyond such allowances is limited.

 

The Company maintains cash deposits with financial institutions, which, from time to time, may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses and believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk from cash.

 

The following table sets forth the percentages of revenue derived by the Company from those customers that accounted for at least 10% of revenues during the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 (in thousands of dollars):

 

    For the Three Months Ended
March 31, 2020
    For the Three Months Ended
March 31, 2019
 
    $     %     $     %  
Customer A     1,121       49 %     322       90 %
Customer B     576       25 %            

 

As of March 31, 2020, Customer A represented approximately 67% of total accounts receivable and Customer B represented 0% of total accounts receivable.

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2020, purchases from two vendors represented approximately 43% and 36% of total purchases. Purchases from these vendors during the three months ended March 31, 2020 were $859 thousand and $724 thousand. For the three months ended March 31, 2019, purchases from three vendors represented approximately 84%, 68%, and 25% of total purchases. Purchases from these vendors during the three months ended March 31, 2019 were $143 thousand, $115 thousand, and $43 thousand. 

 

As of March 31, 2020, two vendors represented approximately 32% and 15% of total gross accounts payable.

Note 5 — Short-Term Debt

 

Short Term Debt as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 consisted of the following (in thousands): 

 

    As of
March 31,
    As of December 31,

Revolving Credit Facility (C)     307       168  
Total Short-Term Debt   $ 1,181     $ 826  

 

(A) Chicago Venture Convertible Note Payable

 

On December 31, 2018, the Company issued a $625,000 principal face amount convertible promissory note (the “Convertible Note”) to an investor, which yielded net proceeds of $500,000 to the Company pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of December 31, 2018, by and between the Company and the investor. The Convertible Note bears interest at the rate of 10% per year and is due and payable 10 months after the date of issuance. The Convertible Note carries an original issue discount of $105,000 and the Company agreed to pay $20,000 to the Lender to cover its transaction costs incurred with the purchase and sale of the Convertible Note.

 

The agreement states that the Lender has the right to convert all or part of the outstanding balance into fully paid and non-assessable shares of common stock. The conversion formula is as follows: The number of shares will equal the amount of the outstanding note balance being converted divided by $0.05 per share. Since the value of the underlying equity on the commitment date was $0.0229 per share, which was less than the lender conversion price $0.05, the Company determined there was no beneficial conversion feature.

 

The lender conversion price is subject to certain adjustment such as down-round features whereby the agreement notes that if the Company were to sell, issue or grant any common stock, option to purchase common stock, right to reprice, preferred shares convertible into common stock, or debt, warrants, options or other securities which are convertible, exercisable, or exchangeable for shares of common stock at a price per share less than the lender conversion price, then the lender conversion price shall be reduced to equal the new lower price, subject to a floor of $0.01 per share. When and if there is an adjustment under the down-round provision, the Company will analyze the accounting treatment of the adjustment.

 

Redemptions may occur at any time after the 6-month anniversary of the date of issuance of the Convertible Note with a minimum redemption price equal to the Conversion Price. If the conversion rate is less than the market price, then the redemptions must be made in cash.

 

Please see Note-9 Subsequent Events, regarding extension of the promissory note maturity date to June 30, 2020.

 

(B) Future Receivables Agreement

 

On January 21, 2020, SGS and GCF Resources LLC (“GCF”) entered into a Future Receivables Agreement pursuant to which GCF agreed to purchase receivables from SGS with a value of $497,000 for the sum of $350,000. The terms of the agreement call for weekly instalments of $20,710, until paid in full. The balance as of March 31, 2020 is $216,000. See Note 9 – Subsequent events regarding payoff of GCF loan.

 

(C) Revolving Credit Facility

 

On August 31, 2018, the Company entered in an agreement with Payplant Alternatives Funds LLC (“Payplant”), pursuant to which Payplant may purchase from the Company, in Payplant’s sole and absolute discretion, Eligible Receivables, as that term is defined in the agreement, in exchange for cash advances, subject to the terms and conditions in the agreement.

 

On September 21, 2018, the Company entered into the Payplant Loan and Security Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with Payplant LLC as agent for Payplant. Pursuant to the Loan Agreement and the terms set forth in the form of promissory note attached as Exhibit A to the Loan Agreement, (the “Note”), Payplant, in its sole and absolute discretion, may loan money to the Borrowers on the basis of purchase orders or invoices issued by the Borrowers to customers for goods and services provided. The term of any loan made to the Borrowers may not exceed 360 days. The principal amount of any loan will accrue interest at a 30-day rate of 2%, calculated per day. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, as defined in the Loan Agreement, interest will accrue at a rate equal to the interest rate plus 0.42% per 30 days. In no event will interest, when combined with all fees that may be characterized as interest, exceed the Maximum Rate, as defined in the Loan Agreement. All computations of interest will be made on the basis of a 360-day year. The Borrowers will have the right to prepay any loan upon the payment of a premium of at least 30 days of interest.

 

As security for the repayment of any loans and the performance of the Borrowers’ Obligations, as defined in the Loan Agreement, the Borrowers granted to Payplant a security interest in the Collateral, as defined in the Loan Agreement.

 

As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the principal amount outstanding under the Loan Agreement was $307,000 and $168,000, respectively, and is included in Short Term Debt in the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Note 6 — Related Party Transactions

 

On December 31, 2018, the Company entered into a note purchase agreement with Inpixon (the “Note Purchase Agreement”) pursuant to which Inpixon, the Company’s former parent, agreed to purchase from the Company at a purchase price equal to the Loan Amount (as defined below), a secured promissory note (the “Related Party Note”) for up to an aggregate principal amount of 3,000,000 (the “Principal Amount”), including any amounts advanced through the date of the Related Party Note (the “Prior Advances”), to be borrowed and disbursed in increments (such borrowed amount, together with the Prior Advances, collectively referred to as the “Loan Amount”), with interest to accrue at a rate of ten percent (10%) per annum on all such Loan Amounts, beginning as of the date of disbursement with respect to any portion of such Loan Amount. In addition, the Company agreed to pay $20,000 to Inpixon to cover Inpixon’ legal fees, accounting costs, due diligence, monitoring and other transaction costs incurred in connection with the purchase and sale of the Related Party Note (the “Transaction Expense Amount”), all of which amount is included in the Principal Amount. The initial Loan Amount, therefore, includes any amounts disbursed to the Company and the Transaction Expense Amount.

 

The Company may borrow under the Related Party Note, as needed, for a total outstanding balance, exclusive of any unpaid accrued interest, not to exceed the Principal Amount at any one time.

 

All sums advanced by Inpixon to the maturity date pursuant to the terms of the Note Purchase Agreement will become part of the aggregate Loan Amount underlying the Related Party Note. All outstanding principal amounts and accrued unpaid interest owing under the Related Party Note shall become immediately due and payable on the earlier to occur of (i) December 31, 2020 (the “Maturity Date”), (ii) at such date when declared due and payable by Inpixon upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (as defined in the Related Party Note), or (iii) at any such earlier date as set forth in the Related Party Note. All accrued unpaid interest shall be payable in cash.

 

Pursuant to the terms of the Related Party Note, the Company granted Inpixon, subject to any and all Payplant Liens (as defined in the Related Party Note) and Permitted Liens (as defined in the Related Party Note), a continuing first priority security interest in all assets of the Company whether owned as of the date of the Related Party Note or subsequently acquired, including all proceeds therefrom (collectively, the “Collateral”) to secure the payment of the Related Party Note and all other loans and advances (including all renewals, modifications and extensions thereof) and all obligations of any and every kind and nature of the Company to Inpixon, whether arising prior to, under or after the Related Party Note, however incurred or evidenced, plus all interest, reasonable costs, reasonable expenses and reasonable attorneys’ fees, which may be made or incurred by Inpixon in the disbursement, administration, and collection of such amounts, and in the protection, maintenance, and liquidation of the Collateral.

 

On February 4, 2019, the Related Party Note was amended to increase the maximum principal amount that may be outstanding at any time under the Related Party Note from $3,000,000 to $5,000,000. On April 15, 2019, the Related Party Note was amended to increase the maximum principal amount that may be outstanding at any time under the Related Party Note from $5,000,000 to $8,000,000.

 

On May 22, 2019, the Related Party Note was amended to increase the maximum principal amount that may be outstanding at any time under the Related Party Note from $8,000,000 to $10,000,000.

 

On March 1, 2020, the Related Party Note was amended to extend the maturity date from December 31, 2020 to December 31, 2022, to increase the default interest rate from 18% to 21% or the maximum rate allowable by law and to require a cash payment by the Company to Inpixon against the loan amount in an amount equal to no less than 6% of the aggregate gross proceeds raised following the completion of any financing, or series of related financings, in which the Company raises aggregate gross proceeds of at least $5 million.

 

The proceeds received, interest and legal costs accrued in accordance with the Related Party Note as of March 31, 2020 is $11,110,438.

Note 7 — Commitments and Contingencies

 

Litigation

 

Certain conditions may exist as of the date the financial statements are issued which may result in a loss to the Company, but which will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. The Company assesses such contingent liabilities, and such assessment inherently involves an exercise of judgment. In assessing loss contingencies related to legal proceedings that are pending against the Company, or unasserted claims that may result in such proceedings, the Company evaluates the perceived merits of any legal proceedings or unasserted claims, as well as the perceived merits of the amount of relief sought or expected to be sought therein.

 

If the assessment of a contingency indicates that it is probable that a material loss has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be estimated, then the estimated liability would be accrued in the Company’s financial statements.

 

If the assessment indicates that a potentially material loss contingency is not probable, but is reasonably possible, or is probable but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the contingent liability and an estimate of the range of possible losses, if determinable and material, would be disclosed.

 

Loss contingencies considered remote are generally not disclosed, unless they involve guarantees, in which case the guarantees would be disclosed. There can be no assurance that such matters will not materially and adversely affect the Company’s business, financial position, and results of operations or cash flows. There are no pending legal proceedings to which the Company is a party to.

  

Note 8 — Stockholders’ Deficiency

 

Treasury stock

 

As part of the Spin-off (as defined below), and in connection with the initial distribution of its common stock, the Company has 117,917 shares of common stock reserved for issuance in treasury (a) for the holders of certain Parent warrants who will be entitled to receive shares of the Company’s common stock if the warrants are exercised, and (b) for the holders of Parent securities that were subject to beneficial ownership limitations in connection with the distribution and for future issuances.

 

Under the terms of a Trademark License Agreement, the Company issued 2,500 shares of common stock. The fair value of the shares on the date of issuance was $300.

  

Note 9 — Subsequent Events

 

On April 23, 2020, the Company entered into a note extension (the “Extension”) with Chicago Venture Partners, L.P. (“CVP”), pursuant to which the maturity date of that certain Convertible Promissory Note, issued by the Company to CVP on December 31, 2018 (the “Note”), was extended to June 30, 2020.

 

On April 27, 2020, the Company paid off its GCF loan balance. See Note 6 (B) Future Receivables Agreement.

 

On May 7, 2020, Sysorex, Inc. (the “Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, Sysorex Government Services, Inc. formerly known as Inpixon Federal” ) was granted a loan (the “Loan”) from Wells Fargo, N.A. in the principal amount of $349,693, pursuant to the Paycheck Protection Program (the “PPP”) under Division A, Title I of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”), which was enacted on March 27, 2020.

 

The Loan, which was in the form of a Note dated May 3, 2020 issued by the Company (the “Note”), matures on May 3, 2022 and bears interest at a rate of 1.0% per annum, payable monthly commencing on November 1, 2020. The Note may be prepaid by the Company at any time prior to maturity without payment of any premium. Funds from the Loan may only be used to retain workers and maintain payroll or make mortgage payments, lease payments and utility payments. The Company intends to use the entire Loan amount for qualifying expenses. Under the terms of the PPP, certain amounts of the Loan may be forgiven if they are used for qualifying expenses as described in the CARES Act.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

You should read the following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations in conjunction with the combined financial statements and the related notes included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q and with our audited financial statements and related notes included on Form 10-K, as filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 31, 2020. In addition to our historical condensed consolidated financial information, the following discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect our plans, estimates, and beliefs. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to these differences include those discussed below and elsewhere in this Form 10-Q, particularly in Part II, Item 1A, “Risk Factors.”

 

The historical financial statements we have included in this Form 10-Q may not reflect what our business, financial position or results of operations would have been had we been a publicly traded company during the periods presented or what our results of operations, financial position and cash flows will be in the future when we are a stand-alone company.

 

Overview

 

Sysorex was incorporated in California on January 3, 1994 as Lilien Systems and was acquired by Inpixon on March 20, 2013. Effective January 1, 2016, Inpixon consummated a reorganization transaction pursuant to which certain Inpixon subsidiaries, including, AirPatrol Corporation and Shoom were merged with and into Lilien and Lilien changed its name to “Sysorex USA”; and all outstanding shares of capital stock of SGS were assigned to Lilien, pursuant to which SGS became a direct subsidiary of Lilien. Sysorex USA changed its name to Inpixon USA on March 1, 2017. On July 26, 2018, Inpixon USA merged into Sysorex, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Inpixon, for the purpose of changing its name and moving its state of formation from California to Nevada. Lilien significantly expanded Inpixon’s operations providing it with a Big Data analytics platform and enterprise infrastructure capabilities.

 

On August 31, 2018, Inpixon completed the spin-off (the “Spin-off”) of its value-added reseller business from its indoor positioning analytics business by way of a distribution of all the shares of common stock of Inpixon’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Sysorex, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Sysorex,” “we,” “us,” “our” and similar terms), to holders of Inpixon’s common stock, preferred stock and certain Inpixon warrants as of August 21, 2018 (the “Record Date”). The distribution occurred by way of a pro rata stock distribution to such holders of common stock, preferred stock and warrants, each of whom received one share of Sysorex common stock for every three shares of Inpixon common stock held (or into which such preferred stock was convertible or warrants were exercisable) on the Record Date.

 

As a result of the Spin-off, Sysorex is an independent public company and Sysorex’s common stock began regular-way trading on the OTC Markets under the symbol “SYSX” on September 4, 2018.

 

The financial statements present the combined results of operations, financial condition, and cash flows of Sysorex and its subsidiary. These financial statements were prepared on a combined basis because the operations were under common control. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated between the combined entities.

 

Sysorex is a leading provider of information technology solutions from multiple vendors, including hardware products, software, services, including warranty and maintenance support, offered through our dedicated sales force, ecommerce channels, existing federal contracts and service team. Since our founding, we have served our customers by offering products and services from key industry vendors such as Aruba, Cisco, Dell, GETAC, Lenovo, Microsoft, Panasonic, Samsung, Symantec, VMware and others. We provide our customers with comprehensive solutions incorporating leading products and services across a variety of technology practices and platforms such as cyber, cloud, networking, security, and mobility. We utilize our professional services, consulting services and partners to develop and implement these solutions. Our sales and marketing efforts in collaboration with our vendor partners, allows us to reach multiple customer public sector segments including federal, state and local governments, as well as educational institutions.

 

15

 

  

Revenues from our business are typically driven by public sector delivery orders that are received on a monthly basis. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, approximately 100% of our revenues were from these delivery orders. These delivery orders include information technology hardware, software, professional services, warranty and maintenance support, and highly integrated solutions that include two or more of the aforementioned items.

 

We experience variability in our net sales and operating results on a quarterly basis as a result of many factors. We experience some seasonal trends in our sales of technology solutions to government and educational institutions. For example, the fiscal year-ends of U.S. Public Sector customers vary for those in the federal government space and those in the state and local government and educational institution (“SLED”) space. We generally see an increase in our second quarter sales related to customers in the U.S. SLED sector and in our third quarter sales related to customers in the federal government space as these customers close out their budgets for their fiscal year (June 30th and September 30th, respectively). We may also experience variability in our gross profit and gross profit margin as a result of changes in the various vendor programs we participate in and its effect on the amount of vendor consideration we receive from a particular vendor or their authorized distributor/wholesaler, which may be impacted by a number of events outside of our control. As such, the results of interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the full year.

 

A substantial portion of our business is dependent on sales through existing federal contracts, known as Government Wide Acquisition Contracts (“GWAC”). We have three key GWAC contracts, known in the industry as GSA Federal Supply Schedule IT 70, NASA SEWP V, and NIH CIO-CS. Maintaining current vendor offerings and pricing is critical to attaining sales.

 

Our planned operating expenditures each quarter are based in large part on sales forecasts for the quarter. If our sales do not meet expectations in any given quarter, our operating results for the quarter may be materially adversely affected. Our narrow margins may magnify the impact of these factors on our operating results. Management regularly reviews our operating performance using a variety of financial and non-financial metrics including sales, shipments, margin, vendor consideration, advertising expense, personnel costs, account executive productivity, accounts receivable aging, supplier inventory turnover, liquidity and cash resources. Our management monitors the various metrics against goals and budgets, and makes necessary adjustments intended to enhance our performance.

 

Our current debt repayment to key vendors due to prior non-payment of invoices has impacted our ability to receive the most favorable cost, terms, and delivery priority. General economic conditions also have an effect on our business and results of operations. For example, if the federal government fails to pass a budget or a continuing resolution before adopting an annual budget, our primary customers will not have the ability to make purchases off of our existing contracts until the budget issue is resolved. If current tariffs and stipulation by the government to require the purchase of goods that are substantially made or assembled in America are enacted, this could severely impact our ability to source from vendors whom manufacture overseas. These factors affect sales of our products, sales cycles, adoption rates of new technologies and level of price competition. We continue to focus our efforts paying down our debt, cost controls, competitive pricing strategies, capturing new contracts, and driving higher margin service and solution sales. We also continue to make selective investments in our sales force personnel, service and solutions capabilities and internal information technology infrastructure and tools in an effort to meet vendor program requirements and to position us for enhanced productivity and future growth.

Basis of Presentation

 

Sysorex, Inc., through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Sysorex Government Services, Inc., formerly known as Inpixon Federal, Inc. (“SGS”), (unless otherwise stated or the context otherwise requires, the terms “SGS” “we,” “us,” “our” and the “Company” refer collectively to Sysorex and the above subsidiary), provides information technology solutions primarily to the public sector. These include cybersecurity, professional services, engineering support, IT consulting, enterprise level technology, networking, wireless, help desk, and custom IT solutions. The Company is headquartered in Virginia.

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information, which are the accounting principles that are generally accepted in the United States of America. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The results of the Company’s operations for the three-month period ended March 31, 2020 is not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2020. These interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 included in the Form 10-K filed with SEC on March 31, 2020.

 

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

In connection with the preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements, we are required to make assumptions and estimates about future events and apply judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, expenses and the related disclosures. We base our assumptions, estimates and judgments on historical experience, current trends and other factors that management believes to be relevant at the time our consolidated financial statements are prepared. On a regular basis, we review the accounting policies, assumptions, estimates and judgments to ensure that our consolidated financial statements are presented fairly and in accordance with GAAP. However, because future events and their effects cannot be determined with certainty, actual results could differ from our assumptions and estimates, and such differences could be material.

 

Our significant accounting policies are discussed in Note 3 of the condensed consolidated financial statements. We believe that the following accounting estimates are the most critical to aid in fully understanding and evaluating our reported financial results, and they require our most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, resulting from the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. There have been no changes to estimates during the periods presented in the filing. Historically, changes in management estimates have not been material.

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company reports revenues under ASC 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” and all the related amendments (Topic 606)

 

The Company recognizes revenue after applying the following five steps:

 

1) identification of the contract, or contracts, with a customer;

 

2) identification of the performance obligations in the contract, including whether they are distinct within the context of the contract;

 

3) determination of the transaction price, including the constraint on variable consideration;

 

4) allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and

 

5) recognition of revenue when, or as, performance obligations are satisfied.

   

Hardware and Software Revenue Recognition

 

The Company is a primary resale channel for a large group of vendors and suppliers, including original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”), software publishers and wholesale distributors.

 

The Company accounts for a contract when it has approval and commitment from both parties, the rights of the parties are identified, payment terms are established, the contract has commercial substance and collectability of consideration is probable. The Company evaluates the following indicators amongst others when determining whether it is acting as a principal in the transaction and recording revenue on a gross basis: (i) the Company is primarily responsible for fulfilling the promise to provide the specified goods or service, (ii) the Company has inventory risk before the specified good or service has been transferred to a customer or after transfer of control to the customer and (iii) the Company has discretion in establishing the price for the specified good or service. If the terms of a transaction do not indicate the Company is acting as a principal in the transaction, then the Company is acting as an agent in the transaction and the associated revenues are recognized on a net basis.

 

The Company recognizes revenue once control has passed to the customer. The following indicators are evaluated in determining when control has passed to the customer: (i) the Company has a right to payment for the product or service, (ii) the customer has legal title to the product, (iii) the Company has transferred physical possession of the product to the customer, (iv) the customer has the significant risk and rewards of ownership of the product and (v) the customer has accepted the product. The Company’s products can be delivered to customers in a variety of ways, including (i) as physical product shipped from the Company’s warehouse, (ii) via drop-shipment by the vendor or supplier or (iii) via electronic delivery of keys for software licenses. The Company’s shipping terms typically specify F.O.B. destination.

 

The Company leverages drop-shipment arrangements with many of its vendors and suppliers to deliver products to its customers without having to physically hold the inventory at its warehouses. The Company is the principal in the transaction and recognizes revenue for drop-shipment arrangements on a gross basis.

 

The Company may provide integration of products from multiple vendors as a solution it sells to the customer. In this arrangement, the Company provides direct warranty to the customer with the Company’s own personnel as the customer requires warranty on the solution and not individual vendor products. This type of warranty is sold integral to the overall solution quoted to the customer. The Company considers these service-type warranties to be performance obligations of the principal from the underlying products that make up a solution and therefore is acting as a principal in the transaction and records revenue on a gross basis at the point of sale.

 

License and Maintenance Services Revenue Recognition

 

The Company provides a customized design and configuration solution for its customers and in this capacity resells hardware, software and other IT equipment license and maintenance services in exchange for fixed fees. The Company selects the vendors and sells the products and services, including maintenance services, that best fit the customer’s needs. For sales of maintenance services and warranties, the customer obtains control at the point in time that the services to be provided by a third-party vendor are purchased by the customer and therefore the Company’s performance obligation to provide the overall systems solution is satisfied at that time. The Company’s customers generally pay within 30 to 60 days from the receipt of a customer-approved invoice.

 

For resale of services, including maintenance services, warranties, and extended warranties, the Company is acting as an agent as the primary activity for those services are fulfilled by a third party.

 

While the Company may facilitate and act as a first responder for these services, the third-party service providers perform the primary maintenance and warranty services for the customer. Therefore, the Company is not primarily responsible for performing these services and revenue is recorded on a net basis.

 

18

 

  

Professional Services Revenue Recognition

 

The Company’s professional services include fixed fee and time and materials contracts. Fixed fees are paid monthly, in phases, or upon acceptance of deliverables. The Company’s time and materials contracts are paid weekly or monthly based on hours worked. Revenue on time and material contracts is recognized based on a fixed hourly rate as direct labor hours are expended. Materials, or other specified direct costs, are reimbursed as actual costs and may include markup. The Company has elected the practical expedient to recognize revenue for the right to invoice because the Company’s right to consideration corresponds directly with the value to the customer of the performance completed to date. For fixed fee contracts, the Company recognizes revenue evenly over the service period using a time-based measure because the Company is providing continuous service. Because the Company’s contracts have an expected duration of one year or less, the Company has elected the practical expedient in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606-10-50-14(a) to not disclose information about its remaining performance obligations. Anticipated losses are recognized as soon as they become known. For the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company did not incur any such losses. These amounts are based on known and estimated factors. Revenues from time and material or firm fixed price long-term and short-term contracts are derived principally with various United States government agencies and commercial customers.

 

Long-lived Assets

 

We account for our long-lived assets in accordance with ASC 360, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets” (“ASC 360”), which requires that long-lived assets be evaluated whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable or the useful life has changed. Some of the events or changes in circumstances that would trigger an impairment test include, but are not limited to:

 

  significant under-performance relative to expected and/or historical results (negative comparable sales growth or operating cash flows for two consecutive years);

 

  significant negative industry or economic trends;

 

  knowledge of transactions involving the sale of similar property at amounts below our carrying value; or

 

  our expectation to dispose of long-lived assets before the end of their estimated useful lives, even though the assets do not meet the criteria to be classified as “held for sale.”

 

Long-lived assets are grouped for recognition and measurement of impairment at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other assets. The impairment test for long-lived assets requires us to assess the recoverability of our long-lived assets by comparing their net carrying value to the sum of undiscounted estimated future cash flows directly associated with and arising from our use and eventual disposition of the assets. If the net carrying value of a group of long-lived assets exceeds the sum of related undiscounted estimated future cash flows, we would be required to record an impairment charge equal to the excess, if any, of net carrying value over fair value.

 

19

 

  

When assessing the recoverability of our long-lived assets, which include property and equipment and finite-lived intangible assets, we make assumptions regarding estimated future cash flows and other factors. Some of these assumptions involve a high degree of judgment and also bear a significant impact on the assessment conclusions. Included among these assumptions are estimating undiscounted future cash flows, including the projection of comparable sales, operating expenses, capital requirements for maintaining property and equipment and residual value of asset groups. We formulate estimates from historical experience and assumptions of future performance, based on business plans and forecasts, recent economic and business trends, and competitive conditions. In the event that our estimates or related assumptions change in the future, we may be required to record an impairment charge. Based on our evaluation, we did not record a charge for impairment for the three months ended March 31, 2020.

 

The benefits to be derived from our acquired intangibles, will take additional financial resources to continue the development of our technology. Management believes our technology has significant long-term profit potential, and to date, management continues to allocate existing resources to the develop products and services to seek returns on its investment. We continue to seek additional resources, through both capital raising efforts and meeting with industry experts, as part of our continued efforts. Although there can be no assurance that these efforts will be successful, we intend to allocate financial and personnel resources when deemed possible and/or necessary. If we choose to abandon these efforts, or if we determine that such funding is not available, the related development of our technology (resulting in our lack of ability to expand our business), may be subject to significant impairment.

 

As described previously, we continue to experience weakness in market conditions, a depressed stock price, and challenges in executing our business plans. The Company will continue to monitor these uncertainties in future periods, to determine the impact.

 

We evaluate the remaining useful lives of long-lived assets and identifiable intangible assets whenever events or circumstances indicate that a revision to the remaining period of amortization is warranted. Such events or circumstances may include (but are not limited to): the effects of obsolescence, demand, competition, and/or other economic factors including the stability of the industry in which we operate, known technological advances, legislative actions, or changes in the regulatory environment. If the estimated remaining useful lives change, the remaining carrying amount of the long-lived assets and identifiable intangible assets would be amortized prospectively over that revised remaining useful life. We have determined that there were no events or circumstances during the three months ended March 31, 2020, which would indicate a revision to the remaining amortization period related to any of our long-lived assets. Accordingly, we believe that the current estimated useful lives of long-lived assets reflect the period over which they are expected to contribute to future cash flows and are therefore deemed appropriate.

 

Deferred Income Taxes

 

In accordance with ASC 740 “Income Taxes” (“ASC 740”), we routinely evaluate the likelihood of the realization of income tax benefits and the recognition of deferred tax assets. In evaluating the need for any valuation allowance, we will assess whether it is more likely than not that some portion, or all, of the deferred tax asset may not be realized. Ultimately, the realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during those periods in which temporary differences become deductible and/or tax credits and tax loss carry-forwards can be utilized. In performing our analyses, we consider both positive and negative evidence including historical financial performance, previous earnings patterns, future earnings forecasts, tax planning strategies, economic and business trends and the potential realization of net operating loss carry-forwards within a reasonable timeframe. To this end, we considered (i) that we have had historical losses in the prior years and cannot anticipate generating a sufficient level of future profits in order to realize the benefits of our deferred tax asset; (ii) tax planning strategies; and (iii) the adequacy of future income as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2020, based upon certain economic conditions and historical losses through March 31, 2020. After consideration of these factors, we deemed it appropriate to establish a full valuation allowance.

 

A liability for “unrecognized tax benefits” is recorded for any tax benefits claimed in our tax filings that do not meet these recognition and measurement standards. As of March 31, 2020 and the year ended December 31, 2019, no liability for unrecognized tax benefits was required to be reported. The guidance also discusses the classification of related interest and penalties on income taxes. Our policy is to record interest and penalties on uncertain tax positions as a component of income tax expense. No interest or penalties were recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019.

 

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

 

We maintain our reserves for credit losses at a level we believe to be adequate to absorb potential losses inherent in the respective balances. We assign an internal credit quality rating to all new customers and update these ratings regularly, but no less than annually. Our determination of the adequacy of the reserve for credit losses for our accounts and notes receivable is based on the age of the receivable balance, the customer’s credit quality rating, an evaluation of historical credit losses, current economic conditions, and other relevant factors.

 

The Company’s allowance for doubtful accounts was $50,000 as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2020 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2019

 

The following table sets forth selected unaudited condensed consolidated financial data as a percentage of our revenue and the percentage of period-over-period change:

 

    For the Three Months Ended        
    March 31, 2020     March 31, 2019        
(in thousands, except percentages)   Amount     % of Revenues     Amount     % of Revenues    
Change
 
                               
Product revenues   $ 1,152       51 %   $ 232       87 %     397 %
Services revenues   $ 1,114       49 %   $ 34       13 %     317 %
Cost of net revenues - products   $ 1,127       50 %   $ 144       54 %     683 %
Cost of net revenues - services   $ 868       38 %   $ 25       9 %     337 %
Gross profit   $ 271       12 %   $ 97       36 %     179 %
Operating expenses   $ 1,116       49 %   $ 1,835       690 %     (39 )%
Loss from operations   $ (845 )     (37 )%   $ (1,738 )     (653 )%     (51 )%
Net loss   $ (1,161 )     (51 )%   $ (1,884 )     (708 )%     (38 )%

 

Revenues

 

Revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2020 were $2.3 million compared to $266 thousand for the comparable period in the prior year. This $2.0 million increase is primarily associated with increased orders from existing contracts mainly attributable to service assessment studies performed and better cash management with suppliers, which has enabled the Company to accept more orders from our customers.

 

Cost of Revenues

 

Cost of revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2020 was $2 million compared to $169 thousand for the prior year period. This increase of $1.8 million was primarily attributable to increased revenues, paying higher fees for cash  needs such as supplier prepays, financing ARs with PayPlant, and continued inability to receive more discounted costs through supplier diversity due to credit risk.

 

The gross profit margin for the three months ended March 31, 2020 was 12% compared to 36% during the three months ended March 31, 2019. This decrease in gross margin is primarily due to the capital constraints resulting in our inability to obtain affordable pricing.

 

Operating Expenses

 

Operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2020 were $1.1 million compared to $1.8 million for the prior year period. This decrease of $0.7 million is primarily attributable to a decrease in compensation costs, occupancy costs and travel costs due to the downsizing of staff and office locations.

 

Loss from Operations

 

Loss from operations for the three months ended March 31, 2020 was $845 thousand compared to $1.7 million for the prior year period. This decrease in loss of $855 thousand was attributable to continued cost efficiencies in 2019 into 2020.

 

Provision for Income Taxes

 

There was no provision for income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019. Deferred tax assets resulting from such losses would be fully reserved as of March 31, 2020 and 2019 since, at present, we have no history of taxable income and it is more likely than not those such assets will not be realized.

 

Net Loss

 

Net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2020 was $1.2 million compared to $1.9 million for the prior year period. This decrease in loss of $0.7 million was attributable to the changes described for the various reporting captions discussed above.

Non-GAAP Financial information

 

EBITDA

 

EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) before interest, provision for (benefit from) income taxes, and depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is used by our management as the matrix in which it manages the business. It is defined as EBITDA plus adjustments for other income or expense items, non-recurring items and non-cash stock-based compensation.

 

Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended March 31, 2020 was a loss of $648 thousand compared to a loss of $1 million for the prior year period.

 

The following table presents a reconciliation of net income/loss attributable to stockholders of Sysorex, which is our GAAP operating performance measure, to Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 (in thousands):

 

    Three Months Ended
March 31,
 
    2020     2019  
Net loss   $ (1,161 )   $ (1,884 )
Adjustments:                
Interest expense     327       146  
Depreciation and amortization     186       755  
Adjusted EBITDA   $ (648 )   $ (983 )

 

We rely on Adjusted EBITDA, which is a non-GAAP financial measure for the following:

 

  to review and assess the operating performance of our Company as permitted by ASC Topic 280, Segment Reporting;
     
  to compare our current operating results with corresponding periods and with the operating results of other companies in our industry;
     
  as a basis for allocating resources to various projects;
     
  as a measure to evaluate potential economic outcomes of acquisitions, operational alternatives and strategic decisions; and
     
  to evaluate internally the performance of our personnel.

 

We have presented Adjusted EBITDA above because we believe it conveys useful information to investors regarding our operating results. We believe it provides an additional way for investors to view our operations, when considered with both our GAAP results and the reconciliation to net income (loss). By including this information, we can provide investors with a more complete understanding of our business. Specifically, we present Adjusted EBITDA as supplemental disclosure because of the following:

 

  we believe Adjusted EBITDA is a useful tool for investors to assess the operating performance of our business without the effect of interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization  and other non-cash items including stock based compensation, amortization of intangibles, change in the fair value of shares to be issued, change in the fair value of derivative liability, impairment of goodwill and one time charges including gain/loss on the settlement of obligations, severance costs, provision for doubtful accounts, acquisition costs and the costs associated with public offerings;
     
  we believe that it is useful to provide to investors a standard operating metric used by management to evaluate our operating performance; and
     
  we believe that the use of Adjusted EBITDA is helpful to compare our results to other companies.

 

22

 

  

Even though we believe Adjusted EBITDA is useful for investors, it does have limitations as an analytical tool. Thus, we strongly urge investors not to consider this metric in isolation or as a substitute for net income (loss) and the other combined carve-out statement of operations data prepared in accordance with GAAP. Some of these limitations include the fact that:

 

  Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect our cash expenditures or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;
     
  Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs;
     
  Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect the significant interest expense or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments on our debt;
     
  Although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future, and Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements;
     
  Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect income or other taxes or the cash requirements to make any tax payments; and
     
  other companies in our industry may calculate Adjusted EBITDA differently than we do, thereby potentially limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure.

 

Because of these limitations, Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered a measure of discretionary cash available to us to invest in the growth of our business or as a measure of performance in compliance with GAAP. We compensate for these limitations by relying primarily on our GAAP results and providing Adjusted EBITDA only as supplemental information.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources as of March 31, 2020

 

Our capital resources and operating results as of and through March 31, 2020, consist of:

 

  1) an overall working capital deficit of $10.3 million;
     
  2) we entered into a new loan facility in 2020; and
     
  3)

net cash used in operating activities for the year-to date of $576 thousand.

     
  4)

some vendors starting to provide net-30 day terms

 

The breakdown of our overall working capital deficit is as follows (in thousands):

 

Working Capital   Assets     Liabilities     Net  
                   
Accounts receivable and other receivables, net / accounts payable and accrued liabilities     645       9,581       (8,936 )
Other     24       1,438       (1,414 )
Total   $ 669     $ 11,019     $ (10,350 )

 

Accounts payable and accrued liabilities exceed the accounts receivable by $8.9 million. These deficits are expected to be funded by our anticipated cash flow from operations and financing activities, as described below, over the next twelve months.

 

23

 

 

Net cash used in operating activities during the three months ended March 31, 2020 of $576 thousand million consists of net loss of $1.2 million plus non-cash adjustments of $186 thousand and net cash used in changes in operating assets and liabilities of $399 thousand. We expect net cash from operations to increase during the remainder of 2020, as a result of, the following:

 

  1) We continue to keep our operational costs low in 2020.
     
  2) We are working with our key distributors and financing partners to address our credit limitation issues. We believe revenues during the three months ended March 31, 2020 and the year ended December 31, 2019 could have been higher but were negatively impacted by our inability to timely process orders due to past due amounts and credit limitations with various vendors. We expect to relieve some of these issues by continuing to grow our services revenue.

 

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of asset amounts or the classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern within one year after the date the condensed consolidated financial statements are issued. 

 

The Company’s continuation is dependent upon attaining and maintaining profitable operations and raising additional capital as needed, but there can be no assurance that we will be able to close on any financing. The Company’s ability to generate positive cash flow from operations is dependent upon sustaining certain cost reductions and generating sufficient revenues. Inpixon, our parent pre-spin-off has funded our operations primarily with proceeds from public and private offerings of its common stock and secured and unsecured debt instruments and made an additional cash contribution of $2 million prior to the Spin-off which amount was reduced by the aggregate amount of certain operating and other expenses of Sysorex will be satisfied by Inpixon from June 30, 2018 through the date of the Spin-off. We depend on our vendors and suppliers to provide us with credit financing on our purchases of products and services. Many of our vendors and suppliers are no longer offering the Company the customary net-30 or net-45 payment terms with credit limits ranging from $100,000 to up to $10 million. Due to our past nonpayment issues to vendors and suppliers, the Company is on a prepay basis for those vendors and suppliers that are willing to supply to customers.

 

As a result of contributions by Inpixon provided following the completion of certain equity financings during 2019, we have been able to begin to improve our credit limitations through negotiated settlements plans with our vendors.  Our vendors, however, could seek to limit the availability of vendor credit to us or modify the other terms under which they sell to us, or both, at any time, which could negatively impact our liquidity.  We have ongoing discussions concerning our liquidity and financial position with the vendor community and third parties that offer various credit protection services to our vendors. The topics discussed have included such areas as pricing, payment terms and ongoing business arrangements. We also used a revolving credit facility to finance purchase orders and invoices in an amount equal to 80% of the face value of purchase orders received, with the remaining 20%, net of fees paid upon collection of the customer receivable, which is more specifically described below.

 

Based on future debt and /or equity offerings, projected revenues, the revolving credit facility that the Company entered into in order to continue to finance purchase orders and invoices following the Spin-off and the $10 million related party note from Inpixon, credit limitation improvements resulting or anticipated to result from negotiated vendor settlement arrangements have occurred. There are, however, no guarantees that these sources will be sufficient to provide the capital necessary to fund the Company’s operations during the next twelve months, therefore, the Company does intend to seek other sources of capital to supplement and strengthen its financial position under financing structures that are available to it.

 

24

 

  

Our history of operating losses, the amount of our indebtedness and the potential for significant judgments to be rendered against us may impair our ability to raise capital on terms that we consider reasonable and at the levels that we will require over the coming months. We cannot provide any assurances that we will be able to secure additional funding from public or private offerings or debt financings on terms acceptable to us, if at all. If we are unable to obtain the requisite amount of financing needed to fund our planned operations, it would have a material adverse effect on our business and ability to continue as a going concern, and we may have to curtail, or even to cease, certain operations.  

 

Revolving Credit Facility

 

On August 31, 2018, the Company and SGS (together with the Company, the “Borrowers”), entered in an agreement with Payplant Alternatives Funds LLC, pursuant to which Payplant may purchase from the Borrowers, in Payplant’s sole and absolute discretion, Eligible Receivables, as that term is defined in the agreement, in exchange for cash advances, subject to the terms and conditions in the agreement.

 

On September 21, 2018, the Company entered into the Payplant Loan and Security Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with Payplant LLC as agent for Payplant Alternatives Fund LLC (“Payplant”). Pursuant to the Loan Agreement and the terms set forth in the form of promissory note attached as Exhibit A to the Loan Agreement, (the “Note”), Payplant, in its sole and absolute discretion, may loan money to the Borrowers on the basis of purchase orders or invoices issued by the Borrowers to customers for goods and services provided. The term of any loan made to the Borrowers may not exceed 360-days. The principal amount of any loan will accrue interest at a 30-day rate of 2%, calculated per day. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, as defined in the Loan Agreement, interest will accrue at a rate equal to the interest rate plus 0.42% per 30 days. In no event will interest, when combined with all fees that may be characterized as interest, exceed the Maximum Rate, as defined in the Loan Agreement. All computations of interest will be made on the basis of a 360-day year. The Borrowers will have the right to prepay any loan upon the payment of a premium of least 30 days of interest.

 

As security for the repayment of any loans and the performance of the Borrowers’ Obligations, as defined in the Loan Agreement, the Borrowers granted to Payplant a security interest in the Collateral, as defined in the Loan Agreement.

 

The Loan Agreement also includes representations and warranties made by the Borrowers, negative covenants prohibiting certain actions by the Borrowers (including, but not limited to, restrictions on additional borrowing without the consent of Payplant, restrictions on the creation of liens on the Borrowers’ property, restrictions on transactions with affiliates, restrictions on the transfer or sale of assets and restrictions on the payment of dividends) and a definition of “Events of Default” that are customary in agreements of this type. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, Payplant may, without notice or demand, declare the entire unpaid principal amount of the loans, all interest accrued and unpaid thereon and all other amounts payable under the Loan Agreement to be immediately due and payable. 

 

As of March 31, 2020, the principal amount outstanding under the Loan Agreement was $307,000.

Going Concern and Management Plans

 

Our condensed consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2020 have been prepared under the assumption that we will continue as a going concern for the next twelve months from the date the financial statements are issued. Footnote 1 to the notes to our financial statements as of March 31, 2020 include language referring to our recurring and continuing losses from operations and expressing substantial doubt in our ability to continue as a going concern without additional capital becoming available. Management’s plans and assessment of the probability that such plans will mitigate and alleviate any substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, is dependent upon the ability to obtain additional equity or debt financing, attain further operating efficiency, reduce expenditures, and, ultimately, to generate sufficient levels of revenue, which together represent the principal conditions that raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our condensed consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2020 do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

On September 21, 2018, the Company entered into the Payplant Loan and Security Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with Payplant LLC as agent for Payplant Alternatives Fund LLC (“Payplant”). Pursuant to the Loan Agreement and the terms set forth in the form of promissory note attached as Exhibit A to the Loan Agreement, (the “Note”), Payplant, in its sole and absolute discretion, may loan money to the Borrowers on the basis of purchase orders or invoices issued by the Borrowers to customers for goods and services provided.

Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, as defined in the Loan Agreement, interest will accrue at a rate equal to the interest rate plus 0.42% per 30 days. In no event will interest, when combined with all fees that may be characterized as interest, exceed the Maximum Rate, as defined in the Loan Agreement. All computations of interest will be made on the basis of a 360-day year. The Borrowers will have the right to prepay any loan upon the payment of a premium of least 30 days of interest.

 

As security for the repayment of any loans and the performance of the Borrowers’ Obligations, as defined in the Loan Agreement, the Borrowers granted to Payplant a security interest in the Collateral, as defined in the Loan Agreement.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

 

For a discussion of recently issued accounting pronouncements, please see the Recent Accounting Standards section of Note 3 to our condensed consolidated financial statements, which is included in this Form 10-Q in Item 1.

 

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

 

Not applicable.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

 

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Disclosure controls are procedures that are designed with the objective of ensuring that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act, such as this Form 10-Q, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls are also designed with the objective of ensuring that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Internal controls are procedures which are designed with the objective of providing reasonable assurance that (1) our transactions are properly authorized, recorded and reported; and (2) our assets are safeguarded against unauthorized or improper use, to permit the preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP.

 

In connection with the preparation of this Form 10-Q, management, with the participation of our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)). Based upon that evaluation, our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this Form 10-Q, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

 

Changes in Internal Controls

 

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Rule 13a-15 or 15d-15 under the Exchange Act that occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2019 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

 

Limitations of the Effectiveness of Control

 

A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Because of the inherent limitations of any control system, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues, if any, within a company have been detected.

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1.

Legal Proceedings 

.

We are currently not involved in any litigation that we believe could have a materially adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations. There is no action, suit, proceeding, inquiry or investigation before or by any court, public board, government agency, self-regulatory organization or body pending or, to the knowledge of the executive officers of our company or any of our subsidiaries, threatened against or affecting our company, our common stock, any of our subsidiaries or of our company’s or our company’s subsidiaries’ officers or directors in their capacities as such, in which an adverse decision could have a material adverse effect. From time to time, we may become involved legal proceedings, lawsuits, claims and regulations in the ordinary course of our business.

 

Item 1A. Risk Factors

 

We face a number of significant risks and uncertainties in connection with our operations. Our business, results of operations and financial condition could be materially adversely affected by these risks. Except as disclosed below, there have been no material changes to the risk factors listed in Part I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.

 

Risks Related to Sysorex’s Business

 

The ongoing coronavirus outbreak, and measures taken in response thereto, could continue to have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

 

Our business is highly susceptible to changes in economic conditions. Our products and services are directly tied to the production and sale of goods and, more generally, to the North American economy. The COVID-19 pandemic has adversely impacted economic activity and conditions worldwide and created significant volatility and disruption to financial markets. Efforts to control the spread of COVID-19 have led governments and other authorities to impose restrictions which have resulted in business closures and disrupted supply chains worldwide. As a result, transportation and supply chain companies such as ours have experienced slowdowns and reduced demand, and could continue to further negatively impact our business.

 

Furthermore, quarantines, shelter in place orders, labor shortages due to illness and otherwise, business and facility closures or other disruptions to our operations, or our customers’ operations, have also adversely impacted demand for our services and our ability to provide services to our customers.

 

We have a history of operating losses and working capital deficiency and there is no assurance that we will be able to achieve profitability raise additional financing or continue as a going concern.

 

We have a history of operating losses and working capital deficiency. We have incurred recurring net losses of approximately $1.2 million and $1.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. We had a working capital deficiency of approximately $10.3 million and $15 million as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. These circumstances raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q are issued. Implementation of our plans and our ability to continue as a going concern will depend upon attaining and maintaining profitable operations and raising additional capital as needed, but there can be no assurance that we will be able to raise any further financing.

 

Our ability to generate positive cash flow from operations is dependent upon sustaining certain cost reductions and generating sufficient revenues. In that regard, we have been able to increase our revenues by approximately 752% for the three months ended March 31, 2020 as compared to the same period for the prior fiscal year. as a result of our credit limitations with vendors and suppliers limiting our ability to process orders. We have funded our operations primarily with a revolving loan from Inpixon, our former parent. Our history of operating losses, the amount of our debt and the potential for significant judgments to be rendered against us may impair our ability to raise capital on terms that we consider reasonable and at the levels that we will require over the coming months. We cannot provide any assurances that we will be able to secure additional funding from public or private offerings or debt financings on terms acceptable to us, if at all. If we are unable to obtain the requisite amount of financing needed to fund our planned operations, it would have a material adverse effect on our business and ability to continue as a going concern, and we may have to curtail, or even to cease, certain operations. If additional funds are raised through the issuance of equity securities or convertible debt securities, it will be dilutive to our stockholders and could result in a decrease in our stock price.

 

29

 

  

Substantial doubt exists as to our ability to continue as a going concern. Our ability to continue as a going concern is uncertain and dependent on our success at raising additional capital sufficient to meet our obligations on a timely basis. If we fail to obtain additional financing when needed, we may be unable to pay our debts as they become due and be subject to bankruptcy proceedings. 

 

Substantial doubt exists as to our ability to continue as a going concern. Our ability to continue as a going concern is uncertain and dependent on our ability to obtain additional financing. We expect that our operating losses will fluctuate significantly from quarter to quarter and year to year due to sale cycles, adoption rates of new technologies and price competition.

 

Our current resources are insufficient to fund our planned operations for the next 12 months. We will continue to require substantial additional capital to continue our operations. Accordingly, we will need to raise substantial additional capital to continue to fund our operations from equity or debt financing or other financing transactions in order to finance the commercialization of our product candidate. The current financing environment in the United States, particularly for companies like us, is exceptionally challenging and we can provide no assurances as to when such environment will improve. For these reasons, among others, we cannot be certain that additional financing will be available when and as needed or, if available, that it will be available on acceptable terms. If financing is available, it may be on terms that adversely affect the interests of our existing stockholders. If adequate financing is not available, we may need to continue to reduce or eliminate our expenditures.

 

We may not be able to secure sufficient financing on acceptable terms, or at all. Without additional funds, we may be unable to meet our obligations as they become due. If we are unable to continue as a going concern, we might have to liquidate our assets and the values we receive for our assets in liquidation or dissolution could be significantly lower than the values reflected in our financial statements.

 

Adverse judgments or settlements in legal proceedings could materially harm our business, financial condition, operating results and cash flows.

 

We are subject to pending claims for non-payment by certain vendors in an aggregate amount of approximately $5.8 million as of March 31, 2020, which is approximately 336% of our total assets. We may also be a party to other claims that arise from time to time in the ordinary course of our business, which may include those related to, for example, contracts, sub-contracts, protection of confidential information or trade secrets, adversary proceedings arising from customer bankruptcies, employment of our workforce and immigration requirements or compliance with any of a wide array of state and federal statutes, rules and regulations that pertain to different aspects of our business. We may also be required to initiate expensive litigation or other proceedings to protect our business interests. There is a risk that we will not be successful or otherwise be able to satisfactorily resolve any pending or future litigation. In addition, litigation and other legal claims are subject to inherent uncertainties and management’s view of currently pending legal matters may change in the future. Those uncertainties include, but are not limited to, litigation costs and attorneys’ fees, unpredictable judicial or jury decisions and the differing laws and judicial proclivities regarding damage awards among the states in which we operate. Unexpected outcomes in such legal proceedings, or changes in management’s evaluation or predictions of the likely outcomes of such proceedings (possibly resulting in changes in established reserves), could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. Due to recurring losses and net capital deficiency, our current financial status may increase our default and litigation risks and may make us more financially vulnerable in the face of pending or threatened litigation.

 

30

 

 

We may engage in acquisitions, dispositions or other strategic transactions that could disrupt our business, cause dilution to our stockholders or reduce our financial resources.

 

In the future, we may enter into transactions to acquire or dispose of businesses, products or technologies or to engage in other strategic transactions. We actively evaluate these types of transactions on an ongoing basis. Even if we identify suitable transactions, we may not be able to make such transactions on favorable terms or at all. Any acquisitions or other strategic transactions we consummate may not strengthen our competitive position, and these transactions may be viewed negatively by customers or investors. We may decide to incur debt in connection with an acquisition or issue shares of our common stock or other equity securities to the stockholders of the acquired company, which would cause dilution to our existing stockholders. We could incur losses resulting from such strategic transactions, including undiscovered liabilities of the acquired business that are not covered by any indemnification we may obtain from a seller. In addition, we may not be able to successfully integrate any acquired personnel, technologies and operations into our existing business in an effective, timely and non-disruptive manner. Any dispositions may also cause us to lose revenue and may not strengthen our financial position. Strategic transactions may also divert management attention from day-to-day responsibilities, increase our expenses, result in accounting charges, and reduce our cash available for operations and other uses. We cannot predict the number, timing or size of future strategic transactions or the effect that any such transactions might have on our operating results.

Paycheck Protection Program Promissory Note and Agreement

 

1. Parties To Agreement And Acceptance

 

This Wells Fargo Paycheck Protection Promissory Note and Agreement (“Agreement”) governs the Wells Fargo Paycheck Protection Loan (“Loan”) that Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. (“we” or “Lender”) is providing to you (if a sole proprietor) or your business organization, Borrower(s) listed above, (such a sole proprietor or business organization are referred to in this Agreement as “Customer”, “you”, and “your” or “Borrower”) and your designated representatives. The Loan is established under the terms and conditions of the SBA program of the United States Small Business Administration (“SBA”) and the USA CARES Act (2020)(H.R. 748)(15 U.S.C 636 et seq.) (the “Act”) and the availability of the Loan is expressly contingent on funds being available from the SBA under the Act to guaranty this Loan. You agree to be bound by and comply with each and every following term and condition of this Agreement. Lender agrees, based on the terms and conditions and relying upon the representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement, to make available to Borrower the Loan as more fully described herein.

 

2. Promise to Pay

 

Borrower promises to pay to Lender, or order, the principal amount of $349,693, together with interest on the outstanding principal balance. Borrower will pay Lender at Lender’s address shown in this Agreement or at such other place as Lender may designate in writing.

 

3. Interest

 

Interest will accrue on the outstanding principal balance at a fixed rate of 1.00%. Interest will be calculated as described in the Interest Accrual Basis paragraph below.

 

4. Interest Accrual Basis

 

Interest shall be computed on an actual/365 simple interest basis; that is, by multiplying the applicable interest rate, times the outstanding principal balance, times the actual number of days the principal is outstanding and dividing by a year of 365 days.

 

5. Repayment

 

Payments shall be due and payable monthly in the amount of $14,722.52 commencing 11/01/2020 and continuing on Day 03 of each month thereafter until maturity. The Loan shall mature two (2) years from the date of this Agreement 05/03/2022, at which time all unpaid principal, accrued interest, and any other unpaid amounts shall be due and payable in full. Unless otherwise agreed, all sums received from Borrower may be applied to interest, fees, principal, or any other amounts due to Lender in any order at Lender’s sole discretion.

 

As discussed further herein, the Borrower may apply for the loan to be forgiven in whole or in part.

 

If any portion of the principal and/or interest payments are forgiven by the Lender, upon forgiveness, the remaining balance of the loan will be reamortized over the remaining term with the entire principal balance remaining unpaid, along with all accrued and unpaid interest, due and payable upon the Maturity Date.

 

 

 

 

6. Permissible Use

 

The Account will be used for only for purposes authorized by the Act,specifically the Paycheck Protection Program contained within such Act.

 

In no event shall the Loan be used for any transaction that is illegal under any applicable law. You represent that you (if a sole proprietor) and your business organization are not a Money Service Business as defined by federal law, or have identified yourself to Lender as such a business and have complied with all applicable laws, rules and regulations governing such businesses.

 

7. Forgiveness

 

The Borrower will not be responsible for any loan payment if Borrower provides to Lender, in its sole and absolute discretion, sufficient documentation that (i) the Borrower used all of the loan proceeds for forgivable purposes described below and (ii) employee and compensation levels are maintained.

 

The actual amount of loan forgiveness will depend, in part, on the total amount of payroll costs, payments of interest on mortgage obligations incurred before February 15, 2020, rent payments on leases dated before February 15, 2020, and utility payments under service agreements dated before February 15, 2020, over the eight-week period following the date of the loan. Not more than 25 percent of the loan forgiveness amount may be attributable to non-payroll costs. The following is an exhaustive list of forgivable purposes:

 

1) payroll costs (as defined in the Act and in 2.f.);

 

2) costs related to the continuation of group health care benefits during periods of paid sick, medical, or family leave, and insurance premiums;

 

3) mortgage interest payments (but not mortgage prepayments or principal payments);

 

4) rent payments;

 

5) utility payments;

 

6) interest payments on any other debt obligations that were incurred before February 15, 2020; and/or

 

7) refinancing an SBA EIDL loan made between January 31, 2020 and April 3, 2020.

 

8. Late Charges

 

For each payment of principal, interest, and/or fees which has not been paid in full within fifteen days after its date due, Borrower will pay to Lender a late charge of $15.00 or five percent (5%) of the amount due, whichever is greater. Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the amount of this late fee is reasonable with respect to this Loan, taking into account Lender’s expectation of timely receipt of payments with regard to the favorable pricing of this Loan, and the operational, administrative and regulatory burdens flowing from late payments and delinquencies. To the extent this late fee or any other fee or charge set forth in this Agreement may be prohibited or exceed any limit provided by any present or future applicable law, such fee or charge shall be reduced to the maximum amount allowed.

 

9. Prepayment

 

Borrower may prepay principal of the Loan at any time, in any amount, without penalty.

 

10. Default

 

The following constitute defaults under this Agreement:

 

1) a payment is not made when it is due;

 

2) the terms of this Agreement are breached in any way;

 

3) Customer defaults under the terms of any other obligation to Lender;

 

4) a bankruptcy petition is filed by or against Customer or any of Customer’s owners;

 

5) a significant change occurs in the ownership or organizational structure of Customer or in the type or volume of such Customer’s business or the death of a Customer;

 

6) Customer becomes insolvent or is dissolved, or Lender otherwise believes in good faith that the prospect of payment and/or performance under this Agreement;

 

7) payments to the Loan are returned or reversed for any reason;

 

8) Customer fails to submit required information the Lender deems necessary.

 

2

 

 

11. Remedies

 

In the event of any Default or failure to meet any condition under the preceding paragraphs, or upon any termination of a Loan, Lender may, at its option and without prior notification:

 

1) close any and all Loans to all use, as well as any other accounts for which the Customer is liable to Lender;

 

2) accelerate payment of the full balance on any or all Loans as well as any or all other accounts for which the Customer is liable to Lender, and thereby require immediate payment of the full balance, including, without limitation any Late Charges or any other charges or fees of any kind due Lender.

 

3) Lender may exercise its right of set-off against any obligation Lender owes to you, including a set-off to the extent permitted by law against any deposit account(s) you have with Lender.

 

12. Borrower hereby certifies and represents that:

 

1) Borrower is eligible to receive a loan under the rules in effect at the time the loan is made that have been issued by the Small Business Administration (SBA) implementing the Paycheck Protection Program under Division A, Title I of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act) (the Paycheck Protection Program Rule).

21. ARBITRATION

 

1) Binding Arbitration: The parties hereto agree, upon demand by any party, to submit any dispute to binding arbitration in accordance with the terms of this Paragraph 19 (the “Arbitration Program”). Arbitration may be demanded before the institution of a judicial proceeding, or during a judicial proceeding, but not more than 60 days after service of a complaint, third party complaint, cross-claim, or any answer thereto, or any amendment to any of such pleadings. A “Dispute” shall include any dispute, claim, or controversy of any kind, in contract or in tort, legal or equitable, now existing or hereafter arising, relating in any way to any aspect of this agreement, or any other agreement, document or instrument to which this Arbitration Program is attached or in which it appears or is referenced, or any related agreements, documents or instruments or any renewal, extension, modification, or refinancing of any indebtedness or obligation relating to the foregoing, including without limitation, their negotiation, execution, collateralization, administration, repayment, modification, extension, substitution, formation, inducement, enforcement, default, or termination. This provision is a material inducement for the parties entering into the transactions relating to this Agreement, DISPUTES SUBMITTED TO ARBITRATION ARE NOT RESOLVED IN COURT BY A JUDGE OR JURY.

5

 

 

2) Governing Rules: Any arbitration proceeding will: (i) be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (Title 9 of the United States Code), notwithstanding any conflicting choice of law provision in any of the documents between the parties; and (ii) be conducted by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), or such other administrator as the parties shall mutually agree upon, in accordance with the AAA’s commercial dispute resolution procedures, unless the claim or counterclaim is at least $1,000,000.00 exclusive of claimed interest, arbitration fees, and costs in which case the arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with the AAA’s optional procedures for large, complex commercial disputes (the commercial dispute resolution procedures or the optional procedures for large complex commercial disputes to be referred to herein, as applicable, as the “Rules”). If there is any inconsistency between the terms hereof and the Rules, the terms and procedures set forth herein shall control. Arbitration proceedings hereunder shall be conducted at a location mutually agreeable to the parties, or if they cannot agree, then at a location selected by the AAA in the state of South Dakota. Any party who fails or refuses to submit to arbitration following a demand by any other party shall bear all costs and expenses incurred by such other party in compelling arbitration of any Dispute. The arbitrator shall award all costs and expenses of the arbitration proceeding. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to be a waiver by any party that is a lender of the protections afforded to it under 12 U.S.C. §91 or any similar applicable state law.

 

3) No Waiver of Provisional Remedies, Self-Help, and Foreclosure: The arbitration requirement does not limit the right of any party to: (i) foreclose against any real or personal property collateral; (ii) exercising self-help remedies relating to collateral or proceeds of collateral such as setoff or repossession; or (iii) obtain provisional or ancillary remedies such as replevin, injunctive relief, attachment, or the appointment of a receiver, before during or after the pendency of any arbitration proceeding. This exclusion does not constitute a waiver of the right or any party, including the plaintiff, to submit the controversy or claim to arbitration if any other party contests such action for judicial relief, including those arising from the exercise of the actions detailed in section (i), (ii), and (iii) of this paragraph.

 

4) Arbitrator Qualifications and Powers: Any arbitration proceeding in which the amount in controversy is $5,000,000.00 or less will be decided by a single arbitrator selected according to the Rules, and who shall not render an award of greater than $5,000,000.00. Any Dispute in which the amount in controversy exceeds $5,000,000.00 shall be decided by majority vote of a panel of three arbitrators; provided however, that all three arbitrators must actively participate in all hearings and deliberations. Every arbitrator must be a neutral practicing attorney or a retired member of the state or federal judiciary, in either case with a minimum of ten years’ experience in the substantive law applicable to the subject matter of the Dispute. The arbitrator will determine whether or not an issue is arbitratable and will give effect to the statutes of limitation in determining any claim. In any arbitration proceeding the arbitrator will decide (by documents only or with a hearing at the arbitrator’s discretion) any pre-hearing motions which are similar to motions to dismiss for failure to state a claim or motions for summary adjudication. The arbitrator shall resolve all Disputes in accordance with the applicable substantive law and may grant any remedy or relief that a court of such state could order or grant within the scope hereof and such ancillary relief as is necessary to make effective any award. The arbitrator shall also have the power to award recovery of all costs and fees, to impose sanctions and to take such other action as the arbitrator deems necessary to the same extent a judge could pursuant to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, the applicable state rules of civil procedure, or other applicable law. Judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. The institution and maintenance of an action for judicial relief or pursuit of a provisional or ancillary remedy shall not constitute a waiver of the right of any party, including the plaintiff, to submit the controversy or claim to arbitration if any other party contests such action for judicial relief.

 

5) Discovery: In any arbitration proceeding discovery will be permitted in accordance with the Rules. All discovery shall be expressly limited to matters directly relevant to the Dispute being arbitrated and must be completed no later than 20 days before the hearing date. Any requests for an extension of the discovery periods, or any discovery disputes, will be subject to final determination by the arbitrator upon a showing that the request for discovery is essential for the party’s presentation and that no alternative means for obtaining information is available.

 

6) Class Proceedings and Consolidations: No party shall be entitled to join or consolidate disputes by or against others in any arbitration, except parties to this Agreement, or to include in any arbitration any dispute as a representative or member of a class, or to act in any arbitration in the interest of the general public or in a private attorney general capacity.

 

7) Miscellaneous: To the maximum extent practicable, the AAA, the arbitrators, and the parties shall take all action required to conclude any arbitration proceeding within 180 days of the filing of the Dispute with the AAA. No arbitrator or other party to an arbitration proceeding may disclose the existence, content or results thereof, except for disclosures of information by a party required in the ordinary course of its business or by applicable law or regulation. If more than one agreement for arbitration by or between the parties potentially applies to a Dispute, the arbitration provision most directly related to the documents between the parties or the subject matter of the Dispute shall control. This arbitration provision shall survive the repayment of the obligations that are the subject of this agreement and the termination, amendment, or expiration of any of the documents or any relationship between the parties.

 

8) SBA Arbitration: The parties specifically agree that the provisions of the Arbitration Program set forth above are not applicable to any dispute between any party and the U.S. Small Business Administration (the “SBA”), including but not limited to, any dispute with the SBA after purchase of the loan by the SBA.

 

22. SMALL BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION (SBA)

 

When SBA is the holder, this Agreement will be interpreted and enforced under federal law, including SBA regulations. Lender or SBA may use state or local procedures for filing papers, recording documents, giving notice, foreclosing liens, and other purposes. By using such procedures, SBA does not waive any federal immunity from state or local control, penalty, tax or liability. As to this Agreement, Borrower may not claim or assert against SBA any local or state law to deny any obligation, defeat any claim of SBA, or preempt federal law.
