1. Organization, Business Operations and Certain Recent Developments

 

American Virtual Cloud Technologies, Inc. (“AVCT,” the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) was incorporated in Delaware on April 7, 2016.

 

On April 7, 2020 (the “Computex Closing Date”), AVCT (formerly known as Pensare Acquisition Corp.) consummated a business combination transaction (the “Computex Business Combination”) in which it acquired Stratos Management Systems, Inc. (“Computex”), an operating company that does business as Computex Technology Solutions. In connection with the closing of the Computex Business Combination, the Company changed its name to American Virtual Cloud Technologies, Inc.

 

On December 1, 2020 (the “Kandy Closing Date”), the Company acquired the Kandy Communications business (hereafter referred to as “Kandy”) from Ribbon Communications, Inc. and certain of its affiliates (“Ribbon”), by acquiring certain assets, assuming certain liabilities of Kandy from Ribbon and acquiring all of the outstanding interests of Kandy Communications LLC.

 

For accounting purposes, both Computex and Kandy were considered the acquirees, and the Company was considered the acquirer. The acquisitions were accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting.

 

On September 16, 2021, the Company announced that as a result of a decision by the Company’s Board of Directors to explore strategic alternatives previously announced on April 7, 2021, the Board had authorized the Company to focus its strategy on acquisitions and organic growth in its cloud technologies business as well as to explore strategic opportunities for its IT solutions business, including the divestiture of Computex. The Company believed that such changes would allow it to optimize resource allocation, focus on core competencies, and improve its ability to invest in areas of maximal growth potential.

 

On January 27, 2022, the Company announced that it had executed a definitive agreement to sell Computex, which would complete the Company’s transition to a pure-play cloud communications and collaboration company, centered on the Kandy platform. As a result, Computex was classified as held for sale as of December 31, 2021 and, beginning in December 2021, we began classifying the operations of Computex within discontinued operations. Also, in connection with the planned sale of Computex, we recorded a noncash goodwill impairment charge of $32,100 during the year ended December 31, 2021 which represented the excess of the carrying value of the Computex reporting unit over the expected sale proceeds less costs to sell. On March 15, 2022, the Computex sale was consummated.

 

Additionally, during the fourth quarter of 2021, the first quarter of 2022 and April 2022, the Company completed the sale of certain securities, including the sale of common stock, preferred stock and warrants. In connection with the sale of these securities, the Company also completed certain share registrations. Two of the six series of warrants were exercised in full soon after they were issued resulting in proceeds of approximately $5.0 million during the year ended December 31, 2021. See Note 8 and Note 16.

 

Unless otherwise noted, the discussion in these Notes to our condensed consolidated financial statements refers to our continuing operations. Refer to Note 5, Assets held for sale and operations classified as discontinued operations, for additional information.

Nature of Continuing and Discontinued Operations

 

The Kandy cloud communications platform is a cloud-based, real-time communications platform, offering proprietary unified communications as a service (“UCaaS”), communications platform as a service (“CPaaS”), Microsoft Teams Direct Routing as a Service (“DRaaS”), and SIP Trunking as a Service capabilities. Kandy is one of the largest pure-play providers of UCaaS, CPaaS and Direct Routing as a Service (DRaaS) for enterprise customers.

 

As a provider of cloud-based enterprise services, Kandy deploys a global carrier grade cloud communications platform that supports the digital and cloud transformation of mid-market and enterprise customers across virtually any device, on virtually any network, in virtually any location. The Kandy platform is based on a powerful, proprietary multi-tenant, highly scalable, and secure cloud platform that includes pre-built customer engagement tools, based on web real-time communications technology (“WebRTC technology”) that enables frictionless communications. Further, we support rapid service creation and multiple go to market models including white labelling, multi-tier channel distribution, enterprise direct, and self-service via our SaaS (software as a service) web portals.

 

Our cloud-based, real-time communications platform enables service providers, enterprises, software vendors, systems integrators, partners and developers to enrich their applications and their services with real-time contextual communications empowering the API (Application Programming Interface) economy. With Kandy’s platform, companies of various sizes and types can quickly embed real-time communications capabilities into their existing applications and business processes, providing a more engaging user experience.

 

While the cloud communications business is focused on highly complex, medium and large enterprise deployments, the customer experience is augmented by our managed services capabilities. In addition, our strategic partnerships with companies such as AT&T, IBM, and Etisalat give us access to a marquee customer base and the ability to sell end to end solutions.

 

Computex, classified within discontinued operations, is a leading multi-brand technology solutions provider to large global customers, providing a comprehensive and integrated set of technology solutions, through its extensive hardware, software and value-added service offerings.

 

Covid-19

 

The novel strain of coronavirus (“COVID-19”) continues to significantly impact local, regional, and global economies, businesses, supply chains, production and sales across a range of industries. The extent of its impact on our operational and financial performance is uncertain and difficult to predict and we remain cautious about the global recovery.

 

To protect the health and safety of our employees, our daily execution has evolved into a largely virtual model. However, we have found ways to continue to engage with and assist our customers and partners as they work to navigate the current environment. We will continue to monitor the current environment and may take further actions that may be required by federal, state or local authorities or that we determine to be in the interests of our employees, customers, and partners.

 

2. Liquidity

 

Historically, the Company’s primary sources of liquidity have been cash and cash equivalents, cash flows from operations (when available) and cash flows from financing activities, including funding under credit agreements. From time to time, the Company may also choose to access the debt and equity markets to fund acquisitions to diversify its capital sources. The Company’s current principal capital requirements are to fund working capital and make investments in line with its business strategy.

On December 2, 2021, the Company entered into the Credit Agreement with Monroe for a $27,000 Credit Facility (as such terms are defined in Note 7), part of which was used to pay off amounts owing under a prior credit agreement which was assumed as part of the acquisition of Computex. The remainder of the proceeds from the Credit Facility were scheduled to be used for working capital and general business purposes. However, on March 1, 2022, all amounts owing under the Credit Agreement were repaid from the proceeds of a securities sale executed on March 1, 2022 and cash on hand.

 

On January 27, 2022, the Company announced that it had executed a definitive agreement to sell Computex, which would complete the Company’s transition to a pure-play cloud communications and collaboration company, centered on its Kandy platform. On March 15, 2022, the sale of Computex was consummated. Net proceeds from the sale of Computex, after payment of closing and certain other obligations are being used for working capital and general business purposes.

 

In addition, as more fully discussed in Note 8, in November and December 2021, the Company completed the sale of certain securities, including the sale of common stock, Series A Preferred Stock and certain warrants. The Company also completed certain share registrations. Certain of the warrants were exercised soon after they were issued, thereby providing additional capital. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company sold additional securities for net cash proceeds of approximately $13,850, which, along with cash on hand, were used to repay all amounts owing under the Credit Agreement. Also, the sale of additional securities to an affiliate of a buyer that owns greater than 5% of the Company’s common stock, was executed on April 14, 2022, which provided additional proceeds of $9,950, after deducting closing costs. See Note 8 for further discussion of such securities.

 

As of March 31, 2022, the Company had unrestricted cash of $21,073 in its operating bank accounts and positive net working capital of $13,966. As of December 31, 2021, there was a working capital deficit of $7,571, primarily as a result of the classification of certain debt as current, including the Credit Agreement.

 

The Company believes that cash on hand, as well as proceeds from planned equity and executed debt offerings will provide sufficient liquidity to fund operations for at least one year after the date the financial statements are issued. However, there is no assurance that future funding will be available if and when required or on terms acceptable to the Company. This projection is based on the Company’s current expectations regarding product sales and service, cost structure, cash burn rate and other operating assumptions.

 

3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Basis of presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are presented in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information or footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC for interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes necessary for a comprehensive presentation of financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. In the opinion of management, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, which are necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, operating results and cash flows for the periods presented.

 

These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, as filed with the SEC on April 15, 2022. The interim results for the period ended March 31, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the year ending December 31, 2022 or any future interim periods.

The Company has reclassified certain prior period amounts, including the results of discontinued operations and reportable segment information, to conform to the current period presentation. Unless otherwise indicated, amounts provided in these Notes pertain to the Company’s continuing operations. See Note 5, Assets held for sale and operations classified as discontinued, for additional information.

 

Principles of consolidation

 

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of AVCT and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany 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 sales (or revenues) and expenses during the reporting period.

 

Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that estimates made as of the date of the financial statements could change in the near term due to one or more future events. Accordingly, the actual results could differ significantly from those estimates. Significant accounting estimates reflected in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements include, but are not limited to, revenue recognition, allowance for doubtful accounts, accounting for warrants, recognition and measurement of income tax assets, valuation of share-based compensation, discount related to the fair value of warrants, and the valuation of net assets acquired.

 

Significant accounting policies

 

The significant accounting policies used in preparing these condensed consolidated financial statements were applied on a basis consistent with those reflected in our consolidated financial statements that are included in the annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 that was filed with the SEC on April 15, 2022.

 

Series A, Series B, Series C, Series D and Monroe Warrants as well as the February 2022 Warrants

 

As more fully discussed and defined in Note 8, in November and December 2021, the Company issued certain Series A, Series B, Series C, Series D and Monroe Warrants in a series of transactions. Also as discussed and defined in Note 8, during the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company issued the February 2022 Warrants. Such warrants were determined to qualify for treatment under ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (“ASC 480”).

 

Concentration of business and credit risk

 

Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk, consist primarily of cash and trade receivables. Cash held by the Company in financial institutions regularly exceeds the federally insured limit of $250. At March 31, 2022, cash balances held with a financial institution exceeded the federally insured limit. However, management does not believe this poses a significant credit risk.

 

Four customers individually accounted for 10% or more of sales from continuing operations during the three months ended March 31, 2022, accounting for an aggregate $2,815 in sales. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, two customers individually accounted for 10% or more of sales from continuing operations, accounting for an aggregate $1,464 in sales.

 

Three customers individually accounted for 10% or more of trade accounts receivable at March 31, 2022, accounting for an aggregate $7,207 of trade accounts receivable. At December 31, 2021, three customers individually accounted for 10% or more of trade accounts receivable, accounting for an aggregate $6,104 of trade accounts receivable. For trade accounts payable, two vendors individually accounted for 10% or more of trade accounts payable at March 31, 2022, accounting for an aggregate $3,286 of trade accounts payable. At December 31, 2021, two vendors individually accounted for 10% or more of trade accounts payable, accounting for an aggregate $2,527 of trade accounts payable.

Fair value of financial instruments

 

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities required or permitted to be recorded at fair value, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which it would transact, and it considers assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability.

 

ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures provides a fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. The level in the hierarchy within which the fair value measurement in its entirety falls is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement as follows:

 

  Level 1 — inputs are based upon unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities traded in active markets.
     
  Level 2 — inputs are based upon quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
   
  Level 3 — inputs are generally unobservable and typically reflect management’s estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. The fair values are therefore determined using model-based techniques that include option pricing models, discounted cash flow models, and similar techniques.

 

Assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis include goodwill, and tangible and intangible assets. Such assets are reviewed annually for impairment indicators. If a triggering event has occurred, the assets are re-measured when the estimated fair value of the corresponding asset group is less than the carrying value. The fair value measurements, in such instances, are based on significant unobservable inputs (Level 3).

 

The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments, which include trade receivables, deposits, accounts payable and accrued expenses and debt at floating interest rates, approximate their fair values, principally due to their short-term nature, maturities or nature of interest rates.

 

The fair values of warrant liabilities are reflected on the condensed consolidated balance sheets as “Warrant Liabilities.”

 

The fair values of certain warrants issued in 2017 (the “2017 Private Placement Warrants”) and the warrants underlying certain unit purchase options issued in 2017 (the “2017 EBC Warrants”) were determined using the Black-Scholes model in which the following weighted average assumptions were used for the valuations performed as of March 31, 2022:

 

stock price volatility – 96%

 

exercise price – $11.50

 

  discount rate – 2.4202% and 1.1831% for the 2017 Private Placement and 2017 EBC warrants, respectively

 

  remaining useful life – 3.02 years and 0.32 years for the 2017 Private Placement Warrants and the 2017 EBC warrants, respectively

 

stock price – $0.935

 

For the valuation methodologies and significant assumptions used in the valuations of other warrants, see Note 8. The warrant liabilities are considered to be Level 2 valuations.

Change in Segment reporting

 

Effective January 1, 2021, the Company identified two operating segments, Computex and Kandy, pursuant to ASC 280, Segment Reporting, consistent with the information that was presented to the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”). With the sale of Computex during the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company began operating as one reportable segment beginning in the second quarter of 2022. Refer to Note 14 for additional information on segments.

 

Emerging growth company

 

The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (the “Securities Act”), as modified by the Jumpstart our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”), and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.

 

Further, Section 102(b) (1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. Private companies are those companies that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period, which means that when a standard is issued or revised, it adopts the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard, unless it chooses to early-adopt the new or revised accounting standard. Therefore, the Company’s financial statements may not be comparable to certain public companies.

 

4. Recently Issued and Adopted Accounting Standards

 

Recently issued accounting standards

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-02, Leases (ASC 842), as amended by multiple updates, hereafter ASC 842. ASC 842 requires lessees to recognize, on the balance sheet, a lease liability and a lease asset for all leases, including operating leases with a lease term greater than 12 months and requires lessors to classify leases as either sales-type, direct financing or operating. ASC 842 also expands the required quantitative and qualitative disclosures surrounding leases. As long as the Company is an emerging growth company, the current effective date of adoption is fiscal year 2023, which is the required date of adoption for private companies. Early adoption is permitted. While the Company continues to assess the effects of adoption, it currently believes the most significant effects relate to the recognition, on the consolidated balance sheet, of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities related to operating leases.

 

The Company does not believe other recently issued but not yet effective accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets, statements of changes in equity, statements of operations and statements of cash flows.

 

Recently adopted accounting standards

 

Effective July 1, 2021, the Company adopted ASU No. 2017-04, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (Topic 350) Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment, which simplifies the subsequent measurement of goodwill by eliminating Step 2 of goodwill impairment tests. The adoption did not materially impact the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In May 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-04, Issuer’s Accounting for Certain Modifications or Exchanges of Freestanding Equity-Classified Written Call Options (“ASU No. 2021-04”), which provides guidance for a modification or an exchange of a freestanding equity-classified written call option that is not within the scope of another Topic. Under ASU 2021-04, an entity is required to treat a modification of the terms or conditions or an exchange of a freestanding equity-classified written call option, that remains equity classified, as an exchange of the original instrument for a new instrument. ASU 2021-04 also provides guidance on the measurement of the effect of a modification or exchange and requires entities to recognize the effect of any such modification or exchange on the basis of the substance of the transaction.

 

Entities were required to apply the amendments prospectively to modifications or exchanges that occur on or after the effective date. ASU No. 2021-04 was effective for the Company on January 1, 2022. The adoption had no significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.

 

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (“ASU No. 2019-12”), which simplifies the accounting for income taxes by eliminating certain exceptions to the guidance in ASC 740 related to the approach for intraperiod tax allocation, the methodology for calculating income taxes in an interim period and the recognition of deferred tax liabilities for outside basis differences.  The new guidance also simplifies aspects of the accounting for franchise taxes and enacted changes in tax laws or rates and clarifies the accounting for transactions that result in a step-up in the tax basis of goodwill. It clarifies that single-member limited liability companies and similar disregarded entities that are not subject to income tax are not required to recognize an allocation of consolidated income tax expense in their separate financial statements, but they could elect to do so.

 

ASU No. 2019-12 allows companies to treat tax law changes as intraperiod items, rather than as discrete items within the interim period. The adoption of ASU No. 2019-12, which was effective for the Company during the three months ended March 31, 2022, had no significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.

 

5. Assets held for sale and operations classified as discontinued operations

 

On September 16, 2021, the Company issued a press release announcing that as a result of a decision by the Company’s Board of Directors to explore strategic alternatives previously announced on April 7, 2021, the Board had authorized the Company to focus its strategy on acquisitions and organic growth in its cloud technologies business as well as to explore strategic opportunities for its IT solutions business, including the divestiture of Computex. The Company believed that the change would allow the Company to optimize resource allocation, focus on core competencies, and improve its ability to invest in areas of maximal growth potential.

 

On January 26, 2022, the Company entered into an asset purchase agreement to sell substantially all of the assets of its Computex business. Net sale proceeds received for the sale of substantially all of the assets and liabilities of Computex was $32,112.

 

At December 31, 2021, the assets and liabilities of Computex were classified as held for sale, and the related revenues and expenses are classified as discontinued operations in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. During 2021, in connection with the planned sale of Computex, the Company compared the expected sales proceeds less costs to sell with the carrying value of the reporting unit and in connection therewith recorded a noncash goodwill impairment charge of $32,100 during the year ended December 31, 2021. The sale of Computex was consummated on March 15, 2022.

7. Long-Term Debt

 

Credit Agreement

 

On December 2, 2021, the Company entered into a $27,000 term loan facility (the “Credit Facility”) under a Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with Monroe Capital Management Advisors, LLC and certain affiliated entities (“Monroe”), proceeds of which were used, in part, to repay amounts owing under a prior credit agreement, which the Company had assumed when it acquired Computex.

 

On March 1, 2022, all amounts owing under the Credit Agreement was repaid in full, including related accrued interest and other charges.

 

The Credit Facility was scheduled to mature on the earlier of (i) December 2, 2022 and (ii) the date on which the Computex Sale was consummated. As part of the Credit Agreement, the Company was required to comply with certain sales milestone terms, conditions and timeframes in connection with the then-pending sale of Computex. In connection with such sales milestone requirements, the Company paid amendment fees of $920 on January 18, 2022 as it was apparent that certain of the milestone dates for the closing of the Computex sale were not going to be met.

 

Loans under the Credit Facility previously bore interest at a rate equal to, at the Company’s option, either the Base Rate for the interest period in effect for such borrowing plus 10.00% per annum, or the LIBOR Rate for the interest period in effect for such borrowing plus 11.00% per annum. Notwithstanding such interest rates, Monroe was guaranteed a minimum return of $7,290, including a closing fee of $675 that was paid to the administrative agent on the closing date. Additional fees would have been payable if the Credit Facility was not repaid in full by certain dates.

 

In connection with the closing of the Credit Facility and pursuant to a Subscription Agreement (the “Subscription Agreement”), the Company issued, to certain funds affiliated with Monroe, warrants to purchase, in the aggregate, up to initially 2,519,557 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.0001 per share (the “Monroe Warrants”). The number of shares of the Company’s common stock issuable upon exercise of the Monroe Warrants is subject to, in addition to customary adjustments for stock dividends, stock splits, reclassifications and the like, adjustment for certain issuances (or deemed issuances) of the Company’s common stock at a price per share below $1.564 while the Monroe Warrants are outstanding, such that the Monroe Warrants will remain exercisable for, in the aggregate, approximately 2.5% of the total number of shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding, calculated on a fully-diluted basis. The Monroe Warrants, which are further discussed in Note 8, were exercisable starting on the date of issuance and will expire on January 31, 2029. The Monroe Warrants were exercisable for an aggregate of 4,613,608 shares of common stock as of March 31, 2022.

Subordinated promissory note – related party

 

On September 16, 2021, the Company entered into a promissory note in the principal amount of $5,000 (the “2021 Note”). The 2021 Note, which was secured by an affiliate of a shareholder that owns more than five percent of the Company’s shares, was originally scheduled to mature on the earliest of (a) September 16, 2022, (b) the Company’s consummation of a debt financing resulting in the receipt of gross proceeds of not less than $20,000, (c) the Company’s consummation of primary sales of registered equity securities resulting in the receipt of gross proceeds of not less than $20,000, (d) the Company’s consummation of the sale of Computex and (e) the date of any event of default. However, in connection with the closing of the Credit Facility, the 2021 Note was amended to, among other things, revise the definition of the maturity date so that the consummation of the Credit Agreement would not result in its maturity. In consideration of the amendment, the Company paid the lender an amendment fee in the amount of $1,250.

 

The amended maturity date of the 2021 Note was scheduled to be the earliest of (a) September 16, 2022, (b) the Company’s consummation of primary sales of registered equity securities resulting in the receipt of gross proceeds of not less than $20,000 (c) the Maker’s consummation of the sale of its Computex business unit and (d) the date of any event of default, subject to extension if the Credit Agreement was not paid off as of such date. The 2021 Note became due on March 1, 2022 due to the Company’s sale of registered and equity securities and the early pay off of the Credit Agreement. However, for a waiver fee of $250, the lender extended the maturity date to May 1, 2022. On March 15, 2022, all amounts outstanding under the 2021 Note were paid. The 2021 Note had a minimum required return of 25.00%.

 

Subordinated promissory note - other

 

On April 7, 2020, the Company issued a subordinated promissory note of $500 (the “2020 Note”) in partial settlement of a deferred underwriting fee of $3,000. The remaining $2,500 was settled via the issuance of debentures. The 2020 Note, which previously bore interest at the rate of 12.00% per annum and had a maturity date of September 30, 2021, was repaid on November 5, 2021 along with interest accrued as of that date.

 

8. Stockholders’ (Deficit) Equity, Related Warrants, Debentures and Guaranty

 

Preferred stock

During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Board of Directors created and established a new series of preferred stock, designated as “Series B Convertible Preferred Stock” (the “Series B Preferred”). The authorized number of shares of the Series B Preferred was established at 21,500 with a par value of $0.0001 per share. Series B Preferred shares outstanding as of March 31, 2022, totaled 16,125 shares. The Series B Preferred shares that were issued during the three months ended March 31, 2022 are mandatorily redeemable and are further discussed below.

 

Common stock — The Company is authorized to issue 500,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $0.0001 per share. Holders of the Company’s common stock are entitled to one vote for each share. As of March 31, 2022, a total of 89,566,997 shares of common stock were issued and outstanding.

Recent sales of securities

 

The November Purchase Agreement

 

On November 2, 2021, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “November Purchase Agreement”) with a buyer for the purchase and sale of (i) a warrant to purchase up to 5,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, subject to increases as described below (the “Series A Warrants”), in a private placement; and (ii) an aggregate of 2,500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, and a warrant to purchase up to 2,500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Series B Warrants” and, collectively with the Series A Warrants, the “A&B Warrants”), in a registered direct offering. The aggregate purchase price for the Shares and the A&B Warrants was $5,000.

 

At the date of issuance, the Series A Warrants had an exercise price of $2.00 per share, were exercisable commencing on the date of issuance, and were scheduled to expire five years from the date of issuance. The Series B Warrants had an exercise price of $2.00 per share, were also exercisable on the date of issuance and were scheduled to expire two years from the date of issuance. The Company had the right to force the holders of the Series B Warrants to exercise such warrants in the event that shares of the Company’s common stock traded at or above $2.40 per share for a period of five consecutive trading days, subject to certain conditions, including equity conditions. Initially, the Series A Warrants were only exercisable for 2,500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, but upon any exercise of the Series B Warrant, the number of shares issuable upon exercise of the Series A Warrant increased by the number of shares of the Company’s common stock issued upon exercise of the Series B Warrant. Northland Securities, Inc., (the “Placement Agent”) received fees of 7% of the aggregate gross proceeds.

 

As summarized in the table below, in connection with the Company’s consummation of the Credit Agreement, the exercise price of the A&B Warrants were subsequently reduced to $1.50 per share, the number of warrants were increased and the buyers received certain newly-issued warrants (the “Series C Warrants”). As of the date of the modification, the Company recognized a change in fair value of the warrant liabilities equal to the excess of the fair value of the modified instrument over the previous fair value. The fair value of the Series C Warrants as of the issuance date was considered to be analogous to a financing charge and was included in interest expense.

 

The December 2021 securities sale

 

On December 15, 2021, the Company consummated the sale of certain securities pursuant to a securities purchase agreement, dated as of December 13, 2021 between the Company and an investor ( the “Buyer”). At the closing, the Company issued to the Buyer (i) a warrant (the “Series D Warrant”) to purchase up to 15,625,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, in a private placement; and (ii) an aggregate of 7,840,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, and 12,456 shares of Series A Preferred with a stated value of $1,000 per share, initially convertible into 7,785,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price of $1.60 per share, in a registered direct offering. The aggregate purchase price paid at the closing for the common stock, the Series A Preferred and the Series D Warrants was $25,000.

 

The Series D Warrants had an initial exercise price of $2.00 per share, subject to customary adjustments for stock dividends, stock splits, reclassifications and the like, and subject to price-based adjustment, on a “full ratchet” basis, in the event of any issuances of the Company’s common stock, or securities convertible, exercisable or exchangeable for, common stock at a price below the then-applicable exercise price (subject to certain exceptions). The Series D Warrants were exercisable starting on the issuance date and expire on December 15, 2026. The Company has the right to force the buyer to exercise the Series D Warrant in the event the volume weighted average closing price of its common stock is at or above $5.00 per share for a period of three consecutive trading days, subject to certain conditions, including equity conditions.

The Series A Preferred shares were convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at the election of the holders at any time at an initial conversion price of $1.60. The conversion price was subject to customary adjustments for stock dividends, stock splits, reclassifications and the like, and were subject to price-based adjustments, on a “full ratchet” basis, in the event of any issuances of the Company’s common stock, or securities convertible, exercisable or exchangeable for such common stock at a price below the then-applicable conversion price (subject to certain exceptions). No dividends were payable on the Series A Preferred, except that holders of the Series A Preferred shares would have been entitled to receive any dividends paid on account of the Company’s common stock, on an as-converted basis. The holders of the Series A Preferred had no voting rights on account of the Series A Preferred, other than with respect to certain matters affecting the rights of the Series A Preferred.

 

In December 2021, the holders of the Series A Preferred exercised their conversion rights and the Series A Preferred Shares were converted to 7,785,000 shares of the Company’s common stock.

On February 28, 2022, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “February 2022 Purchase Agreement”) with a buyer for the purchase and sale of (i) an aggregate of up to 21,500 shares of Series B Preferred with a stated value of $1,000 per share, initially convertible into up to 21,500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price of $1.00 per share, and (ii) warrants (the “February 2022 Warrants”) to purchase up to that number of shares of the Company’s common stock equal to the number of shares of the Company’s common stock into which the shares of Series B Preferred actually sold pursuant to the purchase agreement are initially convertible, in a registered direct offering.

 

Pursuant to the February 2022 Purchase Agreement, an aggregate of 16,125 shares of Series B Preferred, initially convertible into 16,125,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, together with the February 2022 Warrants, initially exercisable for 16,125,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, were issued and sold at an initial closing on March 1, 2022 (the “Initial Closing”), and the remaining 5,375 Preferred Shares may be issued and sold in one or more subsequent closings (each, an “Additional Closing”), in each case subject to certain closing conditions. The aggregate purchase price paid for such Series B Preferred and the February 2022 Warrants at the Initial Closing was $15,000. The Company can require the buyer to purchase the remaining 5,375 Preferred Shares at an Additional Closing if the Company’s stockholders approve the issuance of all securities issuable pursuant to the February 2022 Purchase Agreement in compliance with the rules and regulations of the Nasdaq Capital Market within a specified period of time after the Initial Closing, subject to certain other closing conditions (including certain equity conditions), and the buyer can require the Company to sell the remaining 5,375 Preferred Shares at one or more Additional Closings, subject to certain conditions. The purchase price for any Preferred Shares sold at an Additional Closing would be approximately $930 per share.

 

On March 1, 2022, the Company consummated the Initial Closing in which the Company issued to the buyer (i) 16,125 Series B Preferred with a stated value of $1,000 per share, initially convertible into up to 16,125,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price of $1.00 per share, and (ii) the February 2022 Warrants that are initially exercisable for up to 16,125,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, in a registered direct offering.

 

As a result of the issuance of the Series B Preferred shares and February 2022 Warrants, the exercise price of the Series A Warrants, the Series B Warrants and the Series D Warrants previously issued by the Company to an affiliate of the buyer was automatically adjusted to $1.00 (with a proportional increase to the number of shares of the Company’s common stock issuable upon exercise of such warrants). Pursuant to the February 2022 Purchase Agreement, such affiliate of the buyer agreed to waive any further anti-dilution adjustment of such existing warrants below $1.00 as a result of the transactions contemplated by the February 2022 Purchase Agreement.

The Series B Preferred is convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at the election of the holder at any time at an initial conversion price of $1.00 (the “Conversion Price”). The Conversion Price is subject to customary adjustments for stock dividends, stock splits, reclassifications and the like, and subject to price-based adjustment, on a “full ratchet” basis, in the event of any issuances of the Company’s common stock, or securities convertible, exercisable or exchangeable for, the Company’s common stock at a price below the then-applicable Conversion Price (subject to certain exceptions). The Company is required to redeem the Series B Preferred in 12 equal monthly installments, commencing on April 1, 2022. Subject to certain conditions, including certain equity conditions, the Company may redeem the applicable number of Series B Preferred on each monthly redemption date either in cash, shares of the Company’s common stock or a combination. The number of shares used to redeem any Series B Preferred in such event would be calculated as 88% of the lowest daily volume weighted average price of the Company’s common stock during the eight trading days immediately prior to the payment date. No dividends will be payable on the Series B Preferred, except that holders of the Series B Preferred would be entitled to receive any dividends paid on account of the Company’s common stock, on an as-converted basis, and if a “Triggering Event” (as defined in the certificate of designation of the Series B Preferred) occurs and is continuing, dividends will accrue on each Series B Preferred share at a rate of 15% per annum. The holders of the Series B Preferred have no voting rights on account of the Series B Preferred, other than with respect to certain matters affecting the rights of the Series B Preferred.

 

Based on an evaluation of ASC 480, the Company has classified the Series B Preferred as stock settled debt and therefore recorded the instrument as a liability on the issuance date, as the instrument is mandatorily redeemable and thus (1) embodies an unconditional obligation (2) requires the Company to settle the unconditional obligation in cash or by issuing a variable number of its common shares and (3) is based on a monetary amount known at inception.

 

The February 2022 Warrants have an exercise price of $1.00 per share, subject to customary adjustments for stock dividends, stock splits, reclassifications and the like, and subject to price-based adjustment, on a “full ratchet” basis, in the event of any issuances of the Company’s common stock, or securities convertible, exercisable or exchangeable for, the Company’s common stock at a price below the then-applicable exercise price (subject to certain exceptions). If additional shares of Series B Preferred are sold at one or more Additional Closings, the February 2022 Warrants will automatically adjust such that they are exercisable for, in the aggregate, the total number of shares of the Company’s common stock into which all shares of Series B Preferred sold pursuant to the applicable agreement are convertible. The February 2022 Warrants were exercisable on the issuance date and expire five years from the date of issuance.

 

Pursuant to the requirement to redeem the Series B Preferred in 12 equal monthly instalments, a total of $1,343,750 of the Series B Preferred shares were converted into 1,625,439 shares of the Company’s common stock on April 1, 2022, and, on May 2, 2022, an additional $1,343,750 of the Series B Preferred shares were converted into 2,557,576 shares of the Company’s common stock.

 

Pursuant to the February 2022 Purchase Agreement, the Company agreed to seek the approval of its stockholders for the issuance of all securities to be issued pursuant to the February 2022 Purchase Agreement, in compliance with the rules of the Nasdaq Capital Market (the “Stockholder Approval”). It was a condition to the Initial Closing that the Company enter into voting agreements (the “February 2022 Voting Agreements”) with certain significant stockholders of the Company (each, a “Significant Stockholder”), pursuant to which each Significant Stockholder agreed, with respect to all of the voting securities of the Company that such Significant Stockholder beneficially owns as of the date thereof or thereafter, to vote in favor of the Stockholder Approval.

 

The Series B Preferred and February 2022 Warrants (and underlying shares of the Company’s common stock) were offered, and will be issued, pursuant to a Prospectus Supplement, dated February 28, 2022, to the Prospectus included in the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-3 (Registration No. 333- 258136), originally filed with the SEC on July 23, 2021, as amended, which became effective on August 27, 2021.

 

Pursuant to an engagement letter dated October 16, 2021 between the Company and the Placement Agent, the Company engaged the Placement Agent to act as the Company’s placement agent in connection with the offering and agreed to pay the Placement Agent’s fees of 7% of the aggregate gross proceeds the Company receives in connection with the related private placement and public offering.

(2)The Company has the right to force the Buyer to exercise the Series D Warrant in the event the volume weighted average closing price of the Company’s common stock is at or above $5.00 per share for a period of three consecutive trading days, subject to certain conditions, including equity conditions.
  
(3)The number of shares of the Company’s common stock issuable upon exercise of the Monroe Warrants is subject to adjustment for certain issuances (or deemed issuances) of the Company’s common stock at a price per share below $1.564 while the Monroe Warrants are outstanding, such that the Monroe Warrants will remain exercisable for, in the aggregate, approximately 2.5% of the total number of shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding, calculated on a fully-diluted basis.
  
(4)For each exercise of the Series B Warrant, the Series A warrants were increased. Accordingly, because 3,333,333 Series B warrants were exercised during 2021, the Series A Warrants increased from 3,333,333 Warrants to 6,666,666 Warrants in 2021. In connection with certain securities sold effective March 1, 2022, the Series A and Series D Warrants increased by 3,333,333 and 15,625,000, respectively, effective March 1, 2022.
  
(5)In connection with the February 2022 Purchase Agreement, which was consummated on March 1, 2022 (and which includes the February 2022 Warrants), the holders of the Series A and Series D Warrants agreed to waive any further anti-dilution adjustment of such warrants below $1.00 as a result of any actions taken under the February 2022 Purchase Agreement.

 

Registration rights agreements

 

In connection with the November and December sales of securities and the Credit Agreement with Monroe, the Company entered into certain registration rights agreements with the investors to register the common stock underlying the warrants by specified dates and to use reasonable best efforts to cause such registration statements to be declared effective under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), as soon as practicable, thereafter, subject to certain fees if the shares were not registered by certain dates. As of February 9, 2022, all such shares were registered.

 

On April 7, 2020, the Company, Pensare Sponsor Group, LLC (the “Sponsor”) and certain other initial stockholders of the Company, as well as Stratos Management Systems Holdings, LLC, (“Holdings”), and certain other Investors (as defined below), entered into a Registration Rights Agreement (the “2020 Registration Rights Agreement”). The 2020 Registration Rights Agreement amended, restated and replaced a previous registration rights agreement entered into among AVCT, the Sponsor and certain other initial stockholders of AVCT on July 27, 2017. Pursuant to the terms of the 2020 Registration Rights Agreement, the holders of certain of the Company’s securities, including holders of the Company’s founders’ shares, shares of common stock underlying the Company’s private warrants, shares of common stock underlying the securities issued in the 2020 Private Placement (as defined below) are entitled to certain registration rights under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws with respect to such shares of common stock, including up to eight demand registrations in the aggregate and customary “piggy-back” registration rights.

 

Convertible Debentures, related warrants and guaranty

 

On April 7, 2020, the Company consummated the sale, in a private placement (the “2020 Private Placement”), of units of securities of the Company (“Units”) to certain investors (each, an “Investor”), as contemplated by the terms of the previously disclosed Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of April 3, 2020 (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”). Each Unit consisted of (i) $1,000 in principal amount of the Company’s Series A convertible debentures (the “Convertible Debentures” or “Debentures”) and (ii) a warrant to purchase 100 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.01 per whole share (the “Penny Warrants”). The issuances of such securities were not registered under the Securities Act in reliance on the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act.

 

In addition, in connection with the acquisition of Kandy on December 1, 2020 and pursuant to the terms of the Kandy purchase agreement, the Company, in December 2020, issued 43,778 Units to Ribbon as consideration for the Kandy purchase, sold 10,000 Units to SPAC Opportunity Partners, LLC, a significant shareholder of the Company, and 1,000 Units to a director of the Company. Also, the Company sold 24,000 additional Units between January 1, 2021 and May 27, 2021, including 9,540 Units that were sold to related parties.

 

Debentures

 

The Debentures issued on April 7, 2020 had an aggregate principal amount of approximately $43,169 (including $3,000 in aggregate principal amount issued as part of Units sold to MasTec, Inc. (“Mastec”), then a greater than five percent stockholder of the Company, and $20,000 in aggregate principal of which was part of Units issued to Holdings pursuant to the terms of the Computex Business Combination agreement and approximately $8,566 in aggregate principal amount of which was issued to the Sponsor as part of Units issued in exchange for the cancellation of indebtedness previously incurred by the Company to the Sponsor).

The Debentures issued in connection with the acquisition of Kandy on December 1, 2020 and pursuant to the terms of the Kandy purchase agreement consisted of aggregate principal amounts of $43,778 issued to Ribbon, $10,000 sold to SPAC Opportunity Partners, LLC, a significant shareholder of the Company, and $1,000 sold to a director of the Company. In addition, between January 1, 2021 and May 27, 2021, $24,000 were sold to various investors (including $9,540 sold to related parties). The Debentures sold in December 2020 and those sold between January 1, 2021 and May 27, 2021 were in the same form as those issued in connection with the acquisition of Kandy.

 

The Debentures previously bore interest at a rate of 10.0% per annum, previously payable quarterly on the last day of each calendar quarter in the form of additional Debentures. Until converted, the entire principal amount of each Debenture together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon, was due and payable on the earlier of (i) such date, that was thirty months after the issuance date, as the holder thereof, at its sole option, upon not less than 30 days’ prior written notice to the Company, demanded payment thereof and (ii) the occurrence of a Change in Control (as defined in the Debentures).

 

Each Debenture was convertible, in whole or in part, at any time at the option of the holder thereof into that number of shares of common stock calculated by dividing the principal amount being converted, together with all accrued but unpaid interest thereon, by the applicable conversion price, initially $3.45. The conversion price was subject to customary adjustments for stock dividends, stock splits, reclassifications and the like, and was also subject to price-based adjustment, on a “full ratchet” basis, in the event of any issuances of common stock, or securities convertible, exercisable or exchangeable for, common stock at a price below the then-applicable conversion price (subject to certain exceptions). The Debentures were subject to mandatory conversion if the closing price of the Company’s common stock exceeded $6.00 for any 40 trading days within a consecutive 60 trading day-period, subject to the satisfaction of certain other conditions.

 

Pursuant to the terms of the Debentures, on September 8, 2021, the Debentures and related accrued interest were mandatorily converted to 38,811,223 shares of common stock.

 

Penny Warrants

 

The Penny Warrants issued on April 7, 2020 entitled the holders to purchase an aggregate of up to 4,316,936 shares of the Company’s common stock (including warrants to purchase up to 2,000,000 shares, 856,600 shares, and 300,000 shares issued to Holdings, the Sponsor and MasTec Inc., respectively, as part of the Units issued to them), at an exercise price of $0.01 per share.

 

The Penny Warrants issued in December 2020, as part of the Units sold, entitled the holders to purchase an aggregate of up to 5,477,800 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.01 per share. Such warrants consisted of 4,377,800 warrants issued to Ribbon, 1,000,000 warrants issued to SPAC Opportunity Partners, LLC and 100,000 warrants issued to a director of the Company.

 

The Penny Warrants issued between January 1, 2021 and May 27, 2021, as part of the Units sold during that period, entitled the holders to purchase an aggregate of up to 2,400,000 warrants (including 954,000 warrants issued to related parties).

 

The Penny Warrants are exercisable at any time through the fifth anniversary of the date of issuance. The number of shares issuable upon exercise of each Penny Warrant is subject to customary adjustments for stock dividends, stock splits, reclassifications and the like.

 

Starting in 2021 and pursuant to the terms of the Penny Warrant agreements, holders of 6,684,061 Penny Warrants exercised their right to convert such Penny Warrants to 6,668,308 shares of common stock. As of March 31, 2022, unexercised Penny Warrants totaled 5,510,675.

Derivative consideration and other disclosures relating to the Debentures and Penny Warrants

 

Based on ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging, the convertible feature of the Debentures issued on April 7, 2020 was not considered a derivative and therefore was not recorded in liabilities, as part of the Debentures, and was not bifurcated. However, an embedded beneficial conversion feature was previously assessed in relation to the Debentures issued in December 2020 and was previously recorded in equity at its intrinsic value with a corresponding debt discount recorded to the Debentures at December 31, 2020. The beneficial conversion feature on such Debentures, which was evaluated in accordance with ASC 470-20 “Debt with Conversion and Other Options” was determined to be $36,983 and arose as a result of the conversion price of such Debentures being below the stock price on the issuance dates. Such debt discount, that was related to the embedded beneficial conversion feature, was limited to the proceeds allocated to the Debentures, and, along with the relative fair value of the Penny Warrants, was recognized as additional paid-in capital and reduced the carrying value of the Convertible Debentures. However, as more fully discussed in Note 4, effective January 1, 2021, the Company early-adopted ASU 2020-06 and, accordingly, the discount related to the beneficial conversion feature was reversed effective January 1, 2021.

 

Both the Penny Warrants issued on April 7, 2020 as well as the Penny Warrants issued on and after the Kandy acquisition date had qualified as derivatives, but satisfied the criteria for classification as equity instruments, and were bifurcated from the host contract (the Convertible Debentures) and recorded in equity at their relative fair values with a corresponding debt discount recorded to the Debentures.

 

Prior to the conversion of the Debentures to common stock, the discount (consisting of the relative fair value of the warrants) was being expensed as interest over the then term of the Debentures to increase the carrying value to face value. However, effective September 8, 2021, the remaining unamortized discount was transferred to additional paid in capital in connection with the conversion of the Debentures to shares of common stock. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Company recorded accretion of the discount of $2,954, and paid-in-kind interest of $2,657.

 

9. Related Party Transactions

 

Services provided by Navigation Capital Partners, Inc.

 

Effective October 1, 2020, the Company and Navigation Capital Partners, Inc. (“Navigation”), an affiliate of a significant shareholder, entered into an agreement whereby, Navigation provided capital markets advisory and business consulting services to the Company for a fee of $50 per month. As a result, selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 each include $150, related to such agreement; and accounts payable and accrued expenses as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 include $900 and $750, respectively, in connection therewith.

 

In addition, the Company’s then President, Kevin Keough, and Mr. Robert Willis, a Company director and Vice Chairman of Capital Markets, provided such services to the Company via Navigation. Accordingly, Mr. Keough and Mr. Willis did not receive any direct compensation from the Company between July 21, 2021 (the effective date of their appointment) and April 21, 2022. Instead, Mr. Keough and Mr. Willis were compensated by Navigation. In consideration for such services provided by Navigation to the Company, Navigation was granted 300,000 restricted stock units (“RSUs”) that were scheduled to vest over four years, similar to time-based RSUs granted to directors in lieu of director’s fees. With respect to such RSU’s issued to Navigation, selling, general and administrative expenses include stock compensation expenses of $180 during the three months ended March 31, 2022.

 

On April 21, 2022, the agreement with Navigation was terminated and therefore, the RSUs were forfeited prior to any being vested. The unpaid balance of $900, owing under the consulting agreement is to be paid over 9 months at $100 per month, starting on May 1, 2022.

 

Services provided by True North Advisory LLC

 

On January 21, 2022, the Company entered into a Services Agreement (the “Services Agreement”) with True North Advisory LLC (“True North”), a company affiliated with Michael Tessler, the Chairman of the Company’s board of directors.

 

Pursuant to the Services Agreement, among other things, True North provides strategic advice with respect to the Company’s business as requested by the Company from time to time, for a fee of $25 per month, plus reimbursement for out-of-pocket expenses. As a result, selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2022 include $34, related to such agreement. The Services Agreement has an initial term of three months, after which it will continue on a month-to-month basis until terminated by either party on 30 days’ prior notice. The Services Agreement contains customary mutual provisions regarding confidentiality and ownership of intellectual property.

14. Segments

 

The Company’s reportable segments during the three months ended March 31, 2022 were Computex and Kandy. Computex is a leading multi-brand technology solutions provider to large global customers, providing a comprehensive and integrated set of technology solutions, through its extensive hardware, software and value-added service offerings. As previously indicated, Computex was sold in March 2022, and therefore its results are classified within discontinued operations.

 

Kandy is a provider of cloud-based enterprise services that deploys a carrier grade proprietary cloud communication platform that supports UCaaS and CPaaS for mid-market and enterprise customers across a proprietary multi-tenant, highly scalable cloud platform. The Kandy platform also includes pre-built customer engagement tools, based on WebRTC technology, known as Kandy Wrappers. Kandy provides white-labeled services to a variety of customers including communications service providers and systems integrators.

 

Presented below is certain information by reportable segment. The Company uses the same accounting policies for each reportable segment as it uses for the Company as a whole. The chief operating decision makers evaluate the performance of each reportable segment based on revenue and a measure that approximates income/loss from operations. There was no intersegment revenue during the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021. Revenues presented in the table below are from external customers only. Certain corporate expenses are not allocated to the segments. Such corporate expenses consist primarily of executive and certain other compensation, professional and legal fees, insurance, interest and other financing expenses.

Contingencies

 

From time to time, the Company may be involved in various legal proceedings and claims in the ordinary course of business. As of March 31, 2022, and through the filing date of this report, the Company does not believe the resolution of any legal proceedings or claims of which it is aware or any potential actions will have a material effect on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

 

16. Subsequent Events

 

The Company evaluates subsequent events and transactions that occur after the balance sheet date up to the date that the consolidated financial statements are issued.

 

April 2022 Purchase Agreement

 

On April 14, 2022, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “April 2022 Purchase Agreement”) with an affiliate of a buyer that owns greater than 5% of the Company’s common stock for the purchase and sale of a new series of senior secured convertible notes of the Company, in the aggregate original principal amount of $12,000 (the “Convertible Notes”). The transaction was funded on April 19, 2022. The Convertible Notes are convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock. The purchase price of the Convertible Notes was $10,000 and net proceeds received totaled $9,950.

 

The Convertible Notes rank senior to all outstanding and future indebtedness of the Company and are secured by a first priority perfected security interest in all of the existing and future assets of the Company and its direct and indirect Subsidiaries, including a pledge of all of the capital stock of certain Subsidiaries.

 

The maturity date of the Convertible Notes is October 1, 2023, and no interest shall accrue on the Convertible Notes, unless an event of default (as defined in the Convertible Notes) has occurred. From and after the occurrence and during the continuance of any such event of default, interest shall accrue at the rate of 15.00% per annum. The Company will be required to redeem $800 of the outstanding amounts under the Convertible Notes on a monthly basis, commencing on August 1, 2022, until the maturity date of October 1, 2023, on which date all amounts that remain outstanding will be due and payable in full. Subject to certain conditions, including certain equity conditions, the Company may pay the amount due on each monthly redemption date, and the final amount due at maturity, either in cash, shares of the Company’s common stock or a combination. The number of shares used to pay any portion of the Convertible Notes in such event would be calculated as 88% of the lowest daily volume weighted average price of the common stock during the eight trading days immediately prior to the payment date. The Convertible Notes may not be prepaid by the Company, other than as specifically permitted by the Convertible Notes.

 

Services provided by Saw Holdings, LLC

 

Effective April 1, 2022, the Company entered into a Consulting Agreement (the “Consulting Agreement”) with Saw Holdings, LLC (“Saw Holdings”), a company affiliated with Robert Willis, a member of the Company’s board of directors.

 

Pursuant to the Consulting Agreement, Saw Holdings is providing consulting and capital markets advisory services to the Company for a fee of $25 per month, plus reimbursement for out-of-pocket expenses. The Consulting Agreement has an initial term of three months, after which it may continue on a month-to-month basis until terminated. The Consulting Agreement contains customary mutual provisions regarding confidentiality and ownership of intellectual property.

 

Other than as disclosed in this Note and as may be disclosed elsewhere in the Notes to the financial statements, there have been no subsequent events that require adjustment or disclosure in the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Overview

 

We are a Delaware-incorporated entity with operating locations in Ottawa, North Carolina and Mexico City as of March 31, 2022.

 

On April 7, 2020, AVCT (formerly known as Pensare Acquisition Corp.), consummated a business combination transaction (the “Computex Business Combination”) in which it acquired Stratos Management Systems, Inc. (“Computex”), an operating company that does business as Computex Technology Solutions. In connection with the Computex Business Combination, the Company changed its name to American Virtual Cloud Technologies, Inc.

 

On December 1, 2020, we acquired the Kandy Communications business (hereafter referred to as “Kandy”) from Ribbon Communications, Inc. and certain of its affiliates (“Ribbon”), by acquiring certain assets and assuming certain liabilities of Kandy from Ribbon and acquiring all of the outstanding interests of Kandy Communications LLC. Kandy, a provider of cloud-based enterprise services, globally deploys a white-label, carrier-grade cloud-based platform for unified communications as a service (“UCaaS”), communications platform as a service (“CPaaS”), Microsoft Teams Direct Routing as a Service (“DRaaS”), and SIP Trunking as a Service capabilities for mid-market and enterprise customers across a proprietary multi-tenant, highly scalable cloud platform. The Kandy platform also includes pre-built customer engagement tools, based on web real-time communications technology (“WebRTC technology”), known as Kandy Wrappers, and provides white-labeled services to a variety of customers including communications service providers and systems integrators. With Kandy, companies can quickly embed real-time communications capabilities into their existing applications and business processes.

 

28

 

 

Kandy

 

As a provider of cloud-based enterprise services, Kandy deploys a global carrier grade cloud communications platform that supports the digital and cloud transformation of mid-market and enterprise customers across virtually any device, on virtually any network, in virtually any location. The Kandy platform is based on a powerful, proprietary multi-tenant, highly scalable, and secure cloud platform that includes pre-built customer engagement tools, based on WebRTC technology that enables frictionless communications. Further, we support rapid service creation and multiple go to market models including white labelling, multi-tier channel distribution, enterprise direct, and self-service via our SaaS (software as a service) web portals.

 

Our cloud-based, real-time communications platform, enables service providers, enterprises, software vendors, systems integrators, partners and developers to enrich their applications and their services with real-time contextual communications empowering the API (Application Programming Interface) economy. With Kandy’s platform, companies of various sizes and types can quickly embed real-time communications capabilities into their existing applications and business processes, providing a more engaging user experience.

 

While the cloud communications business is focused on highly complex, medium and large enterprise deployments, the customer experience is augmented by our managed services capabilities. In addition, our strategic partnerships with companies such as AT&T, IBM, and Etisalat give us access to a marquee customer base and the ability to sell end to end solutions.

 

Computex

 

On September 16, 2021, the Company announced that as a result of a decision by the Company’s Board of Directors to explore strategic alternatives previously announced on April 7, 2021, the Board had authorized the Company to focus its strategy on acquisitions and organic growth in its cloud technologies business as well as to explore strategic opportunities for its IT solutions business, including the divestiture of Computex. The Company believed that the change would allow it to optimize resource allocation, focus on core competencies, and improve its ability to invest in areas of maximal growth potential.

 

On January 27, 2022, the Company announced that it had executed a definitive agreement to sell Computex and on March 15, 2022, the sale of Computex was consummated, completing the Company’s transition to a pure-play cloud communications and collaboration company, centered on the Kandy platform. As a result, Computex was classified as held for sale as of December 31, 2021 and its operations are classified as discontinued operations in the condensed consolidated statement of operations. During fiscal year 2021, we recorded a noncash goodwill impairment charge of $32.1 million due to the planned sale of Computex at that time, which represented the excess of the carrying value of the Computex reporting unit over the expected sale proceeds less costs to sell. Net proceeds from the sale of Computex after payment of closing obligations and certain indebtedness, are being used for working capital and general business purposes.

 

In the condensed consolidated financial statements, the results of operations of Computex for current and prior periods are separated and classified as discontinued operations. This management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations primarily focuses on the Company’s continuing operations and so, unless otherwise indicated, amounts discussed herein, pertain to the Company’s continuing operations.

 

Other Recent developments

 

On December 2, 2021, the Company entered into a credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”)with Monroe Capital Management Advisors, LLC and certain affiliated entities (“Monroe”) for a $27.0 million credit facility, Then, in the first quarter of 2022, using proceeds from a securities sale executed on March 1, 2022, along with cash on hand, all amounts owing under the Credit Agreement were repaid.

 

Additionally, as more fully discussed in Note 8 and Note 16 of the Notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements, during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2021, the first quarter of 2022 and April 2022, the Company completed the sale of certain securities, including the sale of common stock, preferred stock and warrants. In connection with the sale of these securities, the Company also completed certain share registrations. Two of the six series of warrants were exercised in full soon after they were issued resulting in proceeds of approximately $5.0 million during fiscal year 2021.

 

29

 

 

Growth strategy

 

The acquisition of Kandy has given us the opportunity to provide a full suite of UCaaS and CPaaS products to serve the rapidly growing cloud communications market.  Customers today demand a highly reliable, secure, and scalable communications platform along with a world class customer experience.

 

With demand for cloud technology increasing, we believe that the already sizable total addressable market (TAM) for cloud communications is on track to continue to expand and we believe that we are positioned to monetize mega trends in enterprise cloud communications, gain market share as a premier white-label cloud communications provider.

 

Certain areas of our growth plan, which also includes continued investment in research and development, are as follows:

 

Channel (white label) - Target technology providers, such as Service Providers (SPs), Resellers, Independent Software Vendors (ISVs), and System Integrators (SIs) through

 

 

Partners that are looking to white label or resell cloud technologies, which we believe offer significant opportunity to grow revenue with existing partners while identifying new ones.

 

  Strategic Alliances with companies looking to co-invest to monetize cloud communication technology; and

 

  Organically - By targeting select vertical markets with high growth potential for example, government, retail, financial, & healthcare
     
  Inorganically - By making selective acquisitions to expand the use of the Kandy platform and distribution channels.

 

Key trends affecting our results of operations

 

The following are key trends that we believe can positively impact our results of operations:

 

The acceleration of digital transformation

 

The change in how people work, including the “work from anywhere” mindset

 

The increased complexity in mid & large enterprises and the desire by enterprises for integrated internal and external communications for UCaaS, CPaaS, and DRaas

 

The demand for services similar to Teams, Zoom and WebEx, and partners that can add to and/or complement such tools and players

 

The trend towards CPaaS technology – Product developers & Independent Software Vendors (ISVs) are increasingly seen as the influencers

 

The general trend towards movement to the cloud

 

30

 

 

The recognition that certain IT services provide the opportunity of funding via recurring payments over a period of time, rather than large upfront payments

 

The increasing use of multi-cloud strategies, whereby cloud architectures and cloud-enabled frameworks, whether public, private, or hybrid, provide the core foundation of modern IT

 

The explosive growth in remote workforce needs.

 

Covid-19

 

COVID-19 continues to significantly impact local, regional, and global economies, businesses, supply chains, production and sales across a range of industries. The extent of its impact on our operational and financial performance is uncertain and difficult to predict and we remain cautious about the global recovery. To protect the health and safety of our employees, our daily execution has evolved into a largely virtual model. However, we have found ways to continue to engage with and assist our customers and partners as they work to navigate the current environment. We will continue to monitor the current environment and may take further actions that may be required by federal, state or local authorities or that we determine to be in the interests of our employees, customers, and partners.

 

Nature of revenue categories discussed below:

 

Cloud subscription and software revenue represent subscriptions to the Company’s cloud-based technology platform as well as revenue from the Company’s on-premise software.

 

Professional and managed services revenue include services provided to our customers to assist them with the integration of our products to their network.

Net loss from continuing operations, net of tax

 

Net loss from continuing operations, net of tax for the 1st quarter of 2022 was $14.6 million compared with $21.0 million in the 1st quarter of 2021. Discussed below are the revenue and expense factors that primarily contributed to the quarter over quarter change.

 

Cloud subscription and software revenue

 

Cloud subscription and software revenue, which represents revenue from subscriptions to the Company’s cloud-based technology platform as well as revenue from the Company’s on-premise software, was $3.8 million in the 1st quarter of 2022 compared to $3.1 million in the 1st quarter of 2021, an increase of 21.2%. The increase is primarily attributable to an increase in UCaaS seats by 4 of our customers.

 

Managed and professional services revenue

 

Managed and professional services revenues was essentially flat at $0.3 million in the 1st quarter of 2022 compared to $0.4 million in the 1st quarter of 2021

Total revenue, cost of revenue and gross margin

 

Aggregate revenue for the two categories of product lines together was $4.1 million in the 1st quarter of 2022, an increase of 16.5% compared with the 1st quarter of 2021.

 

Cost of revenue increased $1.1 million from $3.7 million in the 1st quarter of 2021 to $4.8 million in the 1st quarter of 2022, primarily as a result of a $1.1 million increase in platform software support and a $0.5 million increase in employee-related costs, partially offset by a $0.3 million decrease in professional fees and a $0.3 million decrease in amortization of intangibles.

 

The aggregate gross margin in both quarters was negative as the Company continues to ramp up operations as part of its strategic investment in the Kandy platform. Direct expenses primarily consist of labor costs and costs of software support, both of which are primarily fixed.

 

Research and development

 

The Company began recognizing research and development expenses when it acquired Kandy in December 2020. In both the 1st quarter of 2022 and the 1st quarter of 2021, research and development expenses was $4.5 million. Research and development expenses consists of costs related to certain proprietary software incurred in an agile software environment with releases broken down into several iterations called sprints involving short cycles of development (typically 4-6 weeks in duration) in which the research and development teams create potentially shippable products. Currently, such costs are expensed as incurred, and include personnel-related costs, depreciation related to engineering and test equipment, allocated costs of facilities and information technology, outside services and consultants, supplies, software tools and product certification.

 

Selling, general and administrative expenses

 

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the 1st quarter of 2022 and the 1st quarter of 2021 consisted of the components in the following table (in thousands):

 

   1st Quarter of   Increase 
   2022   2021   (decrease) 
Salaries, benefits, subcontracting & personnel administration costs  $3,527   $4,449   $(922)
Building occupancy costs, utilities, office supplies & repairs and maintenance   249    130    119 
Sales and marketing   637    452    185 
Professional fees   1,713    1,336    377 
Insurance   653    449    204 
Other   295    322    (27)
   $7,074   $7,138   $(64)

 

Selling, general and administrative expenses was $7.1 million in both the 1st quarter of 2022 and the 1st quarter of 2021.

 

The decrease in salaries and related costs was a result of a reduction in corporate headcount, due to a reduction in executive and other headcount, partially offset by an increase in salaries at the Kandy business unit due to an increase in headcount. Corporate salaries and related costs decreased $1.7 million, while such costs at the Kandy business unit increased $0.7 million. Professional fees increased due to increased financing activities, in the 1st quarter of 2022, that required the services of legal and other professionals.

Change in fair value of warrant liabilities

 

The change in the fair value of warrant liabilities in the 1st quarter of 2022 and 2021 represent mark-to-market fair value adjustments related to certain warrants, and primarily fluctuate due to changes in and the volatility of the Company’s stock price. Such changes primarily result from changes in the Company’s stock price. The income statement amounts in the 1st quarter of 2022 and 2021 consisted of the following:

 

   1st Quarter of 
   2022   2021 
    Expense (income) 
Series A Warrants  $(3,603)  $- 
Series D Warrants   (157)   - 
Monroe Warrants   (1,808)   - 
February 2022 Warrants   645      
2017 Private Placement and EBC Warrants   (1,988)   3,558 
   $(6,911)  $3,558 

 

Interest expense

 

Interest expense in the 1st quarter of 2022 increased $3.6 million from $5.6 million in the 1st quarter of 2021 to $9.2 million in the 1st quarter of 2022, primarily as a result of interest and financing fees related to the Credit Agreement entered into on December 2, 2021. The Credit Agreement is more fully discussed in Note 7 of the Notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements. All amounts owing under the Credit Agreement were paid on March 1, 2022.

 

Interest expense consisted of the following (in thousands):

 

   1st Quarter of 
   2022   2021 
Interest expense and financing fees - Credit Agreement  $6,870   $- 
Amortization of deferred financing costs and issue discount - February 2022 Warrants   1,431    - 
Interest and extension fee on related party promissory note   764    - 
Amortization of debenture discount   -    2,954 
Debenture interest paid-in-kind   -    2,657 
Other   103    17 
   $9,168   $5,628 

 

The paid-in-kind interest and amortization of debenture discount in the 1st quarter of 2021, in the table above, related to Debentures that were fully converted to common stock during the 3rd quarter of 2021 (on September 8, 2021), but which prior to conversion, bore interest at the rate of 10.00% per annum compounded quarterly.

 

Net income (loss) on discontinued operations, net of tax

 

Net income on discontinued operations, net of tax, for the 1st quarter of 2022 was $0.7 million compared with a net loss on discontinued operations, net of tax, for the 1st quarter of 2021 of $1.6 million. The change from a net loss in the 1st quarter of 2021 to net income in the 1st quarter of 2022 was due to the gain on sale of Computex of $4.3 million that was recorded in the 1st quarter of 2022, partially offset by a $1.7 million increase in selling, general and administration expenses and a $0.6 million decrease in gross profit. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses in the 1st quarter of 2022 was primarily due to severance and certain other employee compensation that were incurred as a result of the sale of Computex.

 

Benefit/provision for income taxes

 

The Company assesses available positive and negative evidence to estimate whether sufficient future taxable income will be generated to permit the use of existing deferred tax assets. A significant component of objective negative evidence identified during management’s evaluation was the three-year cumulative loss for the March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2021 periods. Such objective negative evidence outweighed the positive evidence identified by the Company. On the basis of this evaluation, the Company maintained a full valuation allowance as of March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2021. Based on the Company’s evaluation, it was determined that no uncertain tax positions existed as of March 31, 2022 or March 31, 2021.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Overview

 

Historically, the Company’s primary sources of liquidity have been cash and cash equivalents, cash flows from operations (when available) and cash flows from financing activities, including funding under the Prior Credit Agreement. From time to time, the Company may also choose to access the debt and equity markets to fund acquisitions to diversify its capital sources. The Company’s current principal capital requirements are to fund working capital and make investments in line with its business strategy. At March 31, 2022, the Company had unrestricted cash of $21.1 million in its operating bank account. The cash balance at December 31, 2021 was $31.1 million. At March 31, 2022, there was a positive working capital balance of $14.0 million (excess of current assets over current liabilities) compared with a working capital deficit (excess of current liabilities over current assets) of $7.6 million at December 31, 2021, primarily as a result of the classification of certain debt as current, primarily, the Credit Agreement and a promissory note. The positive working capital of $14.0 million as of March 31, 2022 reflects an improvement over the working capital deficit of $7.6 million as of December 31, 2021, primarily as a result of the payoff, in the 1st quarter of 2022, of the amounts owing under the Credit Agreement, which were partly paid off from the issuance of equity securities and long-term liabilities.

 

The cash balances and working capital were impacted by the following events or actions, which together contributed to the net improvement in working capital discussed above:

 

  A cash capital raise of $24.0 million via the sale of units (consisting of convertible debentures (“Debentures”) and certain penny warrants) to fund expansion, capital expenditures and working capital. Pursuant to the terms of the Debentures, on September 8, 2021, the Debentures with related accrued interest were converted to shares of common stock. See Note 8 of the Notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information.

 

  The entry into and subsequent repayment of the Credit Agreement with Monroe. Such Credit Agreement was entered into on December 2, 2021, for a $27 million term loan facility, to fund working capital, other general business activities and pay off amounts owing under a prior credit agreement that the Company previously assumed when it acquired Computex. The payoff of amounts owing under the prior credit agreement, which consisted of a line of credit balance and a term loan, was $12.8 million, in aggregate. Interest on the Credit agreement was payable monthly at the rate of 12% per annum. However, the lenders under the Credit Agreement were guaranteed a minimum return of $7.3 million. On March 1, 2022, all amounts under the Credit Agreement were repaid, including the unpaid amounts of the minimum return, and the Credit Agreement was terminated.

 

  The issuance and repayment of a $5.0 million subordinated promissory note (the “2021 Note”), which was entered into on September 16, 2021, was secured by an affiliate of a shareholder that owns more than five percent of the Company’s common stock and was repaid on March 15, 2022. The 2021 Note, which had a minimum return of 25%, became due on March 1, 2022, due to the Company’s sale of registered equity securities and the early pay-off of the Credit Agreement. However, for a waiver fee of $250,000, the lender extended the maturity date to May 1, 2022, and on March 15, 2022, the 2020 Note was paid in full using proceeds received from the sale of Computex.

 

  The receipt of gross proceeds of $5.0 million (before deduction of offering costs), in November 2021, from the sale to an institutional investor in a registered direct offering, of 2,500,000 shares (the “Registered Shares”) of common stock at a purchase price of $2.00 per share. At the closing of such sale, the Company issued to the buyer, in addition to the 2,500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock: (i) a warrant to purchase up to 5,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Series A Warrant”) and (ii) a warrant to purchase up to 2,500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Series B Warrant”). The Series A Warrant and the Series B Warrant were each exercisable at an initial exercise price of $2.00. However, the number of such warrants were later increased, the exercise price of each was reduced to $1.50 per share and the buyer received warrants to purchase 1,500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Series C Warrants”) at an exercise price of $0.001 per share. Subsequent to December 31, 2021, the exercise price of the Series A and Series B Warrants were reduced to $1.00 per share (with a proportional increase to the number of shares of the Company’s common stock issuable upon exercise of such warrants). See Note 8 of the Notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements for further discussion of the Series A and Series B warrants, including a discussion of the modifications that occurred during 2021. In December, the Company received an additional $5.0 million in gross proceeds from the subsequent exercise of the Series B Warrants.

 

34

 

 

The repayment of a subordinated note of $0.5 million along with related accrued interest in November 2021.

 

 

The receipt of gross proceeds of $25.0 million (before deduction of offering costs), in December 2021, from the sale of securities consisting of 7,840,000 shares of common stock, 12,456 units of convertible preferred stock and certain Series D Warrants to purchase up to 15,625,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $2.00 per share. See Note 8 of the Notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements for further discussion of such securities.

 

  The receipt of gross proceeds of $15.0 million on March 1, 2022, representing the first tranche of a sale of securities in connection with a February 28, 2022 securities purchase agreement (the “February 2022 Purchase Agreement”) entered into with a buyer. See Note 8 of the Notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements for further discussion of such securities.

 

Subsequent to March 31, 2022, cash on hand and working capital was positively impacted by the sale in April 2022 of additional securities, which resulted in net cash proceeds of $9.9 million. See Note 16 of the Notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements for further discussion of such securities. 

 

In July 2021, prior to the sale of the securities discussed above, the Company filed a registration statement on Form S-3 containing the following two prospectuses:

 

a base prospectus for the sale and issuance by us of up to $100 million of our common stock, preferred stock, warrants, subscriptions rights, debt securities and/or units; and

 

a resale prospectus covering the resale by certain selling stockholders of up to 67,797,774 shares of common stock.

 

The Company believes that current cash balances as well as proceeds from debt and equity offerings will provide sufficient liquidity to fund operations for at least one year after the date the financial statements are issued. However, there is no assurance that future funding will be available if and when required or at terms acceptable to the Company. This projection is based on the Company’s current expectations regarding product sales and service, cost structure, cash burn rate and other operating assumptions.

 

Cash flows (1st quarter 2022 and 1st quarter 2021)

 

Operating activities

 

Net cash used in continuing operating activities was $24.5 million and $8.9 million in the 1st quarter of 2022 and 2021, respectively, and primarily consisted of cash used in Kandy’s operating activities, including its research and development activities, interest and certain financing costs, professional fees and other corporate support. The increase in the 1st quarter of 2022 was impacted by cash interest and other financing costs of $7.7 million primarily related to the Credit Agreement that was repaid in the 1st quarter of 2022.

 

Investing activities

 

Cash used in continuing investing activities was $0.9 million and $0.2 million in the 1st quarter of 2022 and 2021, respectively, which consisted of capital spending. For the 1st quarter of 2022, this included expenditure on an enterprise resource planning and customer relationship management system (commonly called ERP and CRM systems).

 

35

 

 

Financing activities

 

Cash used in continuing financing activities was $17.5 million in the 1st quarter of 2022 and consisted of debt repayments of $27.0 million and payment of deferred financing fees of $0.4 million, partially offset by proceeds of $15.0 million from the issuance of securities.

 

Cash provided by continuing financing activities was $13.7 million in the 1st quarter of 2021 and consisted primarily of $14.5 million from the issuance of Debentures, partially offset by $0.8 million of tax payment for withheld shares associated with vested restricted stock units issued under the Company’s equity incentive plan.

 

Cash flows from discontinued operations

 

Net cash used in discontinued operating activities was $3.3 million in the 1st quarter of 2022 and was impacted by certain severance and other related employee compensation that were incurred as a result of the sale of Computex. Net cash provided by discontinued operating activities was $2.3 million in the 1st quarter of 2021 and was impacted by positive cash flows related to accounts receivable and accounts payable.

 

Net cash provided by discontinued investing activities was $31.9 million in the 1st quarter of 2022 and consisted primarily of proceeds received from the sale of Computex. Net cash used in discontinued investing activities was $0.2 million in the 1st quarter of 2021 and consisted of capital spending.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

 

As a smaller reporting company, we are not required to provide the information required by this Item.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

As required by Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2022. Based upon their evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) were effective at a reasonable assurance level and, accordingly, provided reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by us in reports filed under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.

 

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended March 31, 2022, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

  

37

 

 

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

 

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

 

From time to time, we are named as a defendant in legal actions arising from our normal business activities. Although we cannot predict with certainty the ultimate resolution of lawsuits, investigations and claims asserted against us, we do not believe any currently pending legal proceeding to which we are a party will have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition, cash flows or results of our operations.

 

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS.

 

Factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those in this quarterly report are any of the risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the SEC on April 15, 2022. Any of these factors could result in a significant or material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition or cash flows. Additional risk factors not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also impair our business. As of the date of this quarterly report, there have been no material changes to the risk factors disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the SEC on April 15, 2022, other than the additional and amended and restated risk factors set forth below and except as may otherwise be disclosed in this quarterly report. We may disclose changes to such factors or disclose additional factors from time to time in our future filings with the SEC.

 

The Nasdaq may delist our securities from quotation on its exchange which could limit investors’ ability to trade in our securities and subject us to additional trading restrictions.

 

Our common stock and public warrants are currently listed on the Nasdaq. There can be no assurance that we will continue to be able to meet the Nasdaq’s listing standards with respect to our securities. For example, our common stock has recently been trading below the Nasdaq’s minimum bid price of $1.00 per share. If our stock continues to trade below such amount, we may receive a notice of noncompliance from the Nasdaq. We intend to continue to monitor the bid price of our common stock. If our common stock does not trade at a level that is likely to maintain compliance with the Nasdaq requirements, our board of directors may consider options that may be available to achieve compliance, including a reverse stock split, which could have negative implications, and would require stockholder approval. If the Nasdaq delists our common stock from trading on its exchange for failure to meet the listing standards, we and our stockholders could face significant material adverse consequences including:

 

a limited availability of market quotations for our securities;

 

reduced liquidity with respect to our securities;

 

a determination that our shares of common stock are “penny stock” which will require brokers trading in our shares of common stock to adhere to more stringent rules, possibly resulting in a reduced level of trading activity in the secondary trading market for our shares of common stock;

 

a limited amount of news and analyst coverage for our company; and

 

a decreased ability to issue additional securities or obtain additional financing in the future.

 

The National Securities Markets Improvement Act of 1996, which is a federal statute, prevents or preempts the states from regulating the sale of certain securities, which are referred to as “covered securities.” Because our common stock and public warrants are currently listed on the Nasdaq, our common stock and public warrants are covered securities. Although the states are preempted from regulating the sale of our securities, the federal statute does allow the states to investigate companies if there is a suspicion of fraud, and, if there is a finding of fraudulent activity, then the states can regulate or bar the sale of covered securities in a particular case. Further, if we were no longer listed on the Nasdaq, our securities would not be covered securities and we would be subject to regulation in each state in which we offer our securities.

 

A substantial number of shares of our Common Stock may be issued pursuant to the conversion terms of the Convertible Notes and our Series B convertible preferred stock, which could cause the price of our Common Stock to decline.

 

The Convertible Notes are convertible into shares of our Common Stock at an initial conversion price of $0.99 per share, for an aggregate of approximately 12,121,212 shares (based on $12,000,000 in aggregate principal amount initially outstanding), without taking into account the limitations on the conversion of the Convertible Notes, which amount may be increased based on certain provisions of the Convertible Notes, including the conversion price applicable to the payment of monthly installment payments and the anti-dilution provisions of the Convertible Notes. Likewise, our 16,125 outstanding shares of Series B convertible preferred stock (the “Series B Preferred”), and additional shares of Series B Preferred we may issue in the future, are convertible into shares of Common Stock at an initial conversion price of $1.00 per share, based on the stated value of the Series B Preferred of $1,000 per share. The conversion price of the Series B Preferred may be reduced, and additional shares of Common Stock may otherwise be issuable upon conversion of the Series B Preferred, pursuant to the terms thereof. The issuance of any of these shares will dilute our other equity holders, which could cause the price of our Common Stock to decline.

 

38

 

The requirement that we repay the Convertible Notes and interest thereon and redeem the Series B Preferred in cash could adversely affect our business plan, liquidity, financial condition, and results of operations.

 

If not converted, we are required to repay principal amounts outstanding under the Convertible Notes and interest thereon in cash. Likewise, we may be required to redeem some or all of the outstanding shares of Series B Preferred for cash under certain circumstances. These obligations could have important consequences on our business. In particular, they could:

 

  limit our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our businesses and the industries in which we operate;
     
  increase our vulnerability to general adverse economic and industry conditions; and
     
  place us at a competitive disadvantage compared to our competitors.

 

No assurances can be given that we will be successful in making the required payments under the Convertible Notes. If we are unable to make the required cash payments, there could be a default under the Convertible Notes. In such event, or if a default otherwise occurs under the Convertible Notes, including as a result of our failure to comply with the financial or other covenants contained therein:

 

the holders of the Convertible Notes could cause the Convertible Notes to accrue interest at the rate of 15% per annum and/or declare all outstanding principal and interest to be due and payable;
   
the holders of the Convertible Notes could foreclose against our assets; and/or
   
we could be forced into bankruptcy or liquidation.

 

Restrictive covenants under the Convertible Notes and the terms of the Series B Preferred could limit our growth and our ability to finance our operations, fund our capital needs, respond to changing conditions and engage in other business activities that may be in our best interests.

 

The Convertible Notes and the certificate of designations of the Series B Preferred contain a number of affirmative and negative covenants regarding matters such as the payment of dividends, maintenance of our properties and assets, transactions with affiliates, and our ability to issue other indebtedness.

 

Our ability to comply with these covenants may be adversely affected by events beyond our control, and we cannot assure you that we can maintain compliance with these covenants. The financial covenants could limit our ability to make needed expenditures or otherwise conduct necessary or desirable business activities.

The number of shares of the Company’s common stock issuable upon exercise of the Monroe Warrants is subject to adjustment for certain issuances (or deemed issuances) of the Company’s common stock at a price per share below $1.564 while the Monroe Warrants are outstanding, such that the Monroe Warrants will remain exercisable for, in the aggregate, approximately 2.5% of the total number of shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding, calculated on a fully-diluted basis. For each exercise of the Series B Warrant, the Series A warrants were increased. Accordingly, because 3,333,333 Series B warrants were exercised during 2021, the Series A Warrants increased from 3,333,333 Warrants to 6,666,666 Warrants in 2021. In connection with certain securities sold effective March 1, 2022, the Series A and Series D Warrants increased by 3,333,333 and 15,625,000, respectively, effective March 1, 2022. The Company has the right to force the Buyer to exercise the Series B Warrant in the event shares of the Company’s common stock trade at or above $2.40 per share for a period of five consecutive trading days, subject to certain conditions, including equity conditions. In connection with the February 2022 Purchase Agreement, which was consummated on March 1, 2022 (and which includes the February 2022 Warrants), the holders of the Series A and Series D Warrants agreed to waive any further anti-dilution adjustment of such warrants below $1.00 as a result of any actions taken under the February 2022 Purchase Agreement. The Company has the right to force the Buyer to exercise the Series D Warrant in the event the volume weighted average closing price of the Company’s common stock is at or above $5.00 per share for a period of three consecutive trading days, subject to certain conditions, including equity conditions. false --12-31 Q1 0001704760 0001704760 2022-01-01 2022-03-31 0001704760 2022-05-09 0001704760
