CAUTIONARY NOTE CONCERNING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

The statements made in this Report, and in other materials that the Company has filed or may file with the Securities and Exchange Commission, in each case that are not historical facts, contain “forward-looking information” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, and Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, both as amended, which can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “may,” “will,” “anticipates,” “expects,” “projects,” “estimates,” “believes,” “seeks,” “could,” “should,” or “continue,” the negative thereof, and other variations or comparable terminology as well as any statements regarding the evaluation of strategic alternatives. These forward-looking statements are based on the current plans and expectations of management, and are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those reflected in such forward-looking statements. Among these risks and uncertainties are the competition we face; our ability to adapt to rapid changes in the market for voice and messaging services; our ability to retain customers and attract new customers; our ability to establish and expand strategic alliances; governmental regulation and related actions and taxes in our international operations; increased market and competitive risks, including currency restrictions, in our international operations; risks related to the acquisition or integration of future businesses or joint ventures; our ability to obtain or maintain relevant intellectual property rights; intellectual property and other litigation that may be brought against us; failure to protect our trademarks and internally developed software; security breaches and other compromises of information security; our dependence on third party facilities, equipment, systems and services; system disruptions or flaws in our technology and systems; uncertainties relating to regulation of VoIP services; liability under anti-corruption laws; results of regulatory inquiries into our business practices; fraudulent use of our name or services; our ability to maintain data security; our dependence upon key personnel; our dependence on our customers’ existing broadband connections; differences between our service and traditional phone services; our ability to obtain additional financing if required; our early history of net losses and our ability to maintain consistent profitability in the future. These and other matters the Company discusses in this Report, or in the documents it incorporates by reference into this Report, may cause actual results to differ from those the Company describes. The Company assumes no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking information, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

 

SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING REVERSE STOCK SPLIT

 

Effective April 14, 2017, we completed a reverse stock split in which each six (6) shares of our common stock were automatically combined into and became one (1) share of our common stock. As of the effective date of the reverse stock split, the per share exercise price of, and the number of shares of common stock underlying, any stock options, warrants and other derivative securities issued by us were automatically proportionally adjusted, based on the one-for-six reverse split ratio, in accordance with the terms of such options, warrants or other derivative securities, as the case may be. All share numbers, stock option numbers, warrant numbers, other derivative security numbers and exercise prices appearing in this Report on Form 10-Q have been adjusted to give effect to this reverse stock split, unless otherwise indicated or unless the context suggests otherwise.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS  

June 30, 2017

 

Note 1. Description of Business, Organization and Principles of Consolidation

 

Description of Business

 

Prior to the transaction described in Note 8, One Horizon Group, Inc., (the “Company” or “Horizon”) developed proprietary software primarily in the Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) and bandwidth optimization markets (“Horizon Globex”) and provided it to telecommunication companies under perpetual license arrangements (“Master License”) throughout the world. In addition, the Company sold related user licenses and software maintenance services to or entered into revenue sharing agreements with telecommunication companies. Horizon, through its Chinese company Suzhou Aishuo Network Information Co. Ltd. will continue to provide the Aishuo App to end user customer through App stores based in China. Our Aishuo customers purchase call credits for Public Service Telephone Network (PSTN) access using a variety of Chinese on-line payment services including Union Pay and Apple Pay.

 

Interim Period Financial Statements

 

The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the Securities and Exchange Commission’ instructions. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. The results of operations reflect interim adjustments, all of which are of a normal recurring nature and, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the results for such interim period. The results reported in these interim condensed consolidated financial statements should not be regarded as necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the entire year. Certain information and note disclosure normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and regulations. These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 10, 2017.

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of One Horizon Group, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries One Horizon Group plc, Horizon Globex GmbH, Abbey Technology GmbH, One Horizon Group Pte., Limited, Horizon Globex Ireland Limited, Global Phone Credit Limited and One Horizon Hong Kong Limited, and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Horizon Network Technology Co. Ltd. (“HNT”). In addition, included in the consolidated financial statements as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2017 are the accounts of Suzhou Aishuo Network Information Co., Ltd. which is controlled by One Horizon Group, Inc. through various contractual arrangements (Note 3).

 

All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

 

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

As Horizon continues to pursue its operations and business plan, it expects to incur further losses in 2017 which, when combined with any investment in intellectual property, will generate negative cash flows. As of June 30, 2017, the Company did not have any available credit facilities. As a result, it is in the process of seeking new financing by way of sale of either convertible debt or equities. Subsequent to June 30, 2017, the Company entered into a series of transactions to improve liquidity and reduce outstanding obligations (see Note 8). Whilst it has been successful in the past in obtaining the necessary capital to support its investment and operations, there is no assurance that it will be able to obtain additional financing under acceptable terms and conditions, or at all. In the event, Horizon is unable to obtain sufficient additional funding when needed in order to fund ongoing research and development activities as well as operations, it would not be able to continue as a going concern and maybe forced to severely curtail or cease operations and liquidate the Company.

 

9  

 

 

The condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability or classification of assets or amounts of liabilities that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties. The Company’s current independent registered public accounting firm included a paragraph emphasizing this going concern uncertainty in their audit report regarding the Company’s 2016 financial statements dated April 10, 2017.

 

Foreign Currency Translation

 

The reporting currency of the Company is the United States dollar. Assets and liabilities other than those denominated in U.S. dollars, primarily in Switzerland, Ireland, the United Kingdom and China, are translated into United States dollars at the rate of exchange at the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated at the average rate of exchange throughout the period. Gains or losses from these translations are reported as a separate component of other comprehensive income (loss) until all or a part of the investment in the subsidiaries is sold or liquidated. The translation adjustments do not recognize the effect of income tax because the Company expects to reinvest the amounts indefinitely in operations.

 

Transaction gains and losses that arise from exchange-rate fluctuations on transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency are included in general and administrative expenses.

 

Accounts Receivable and Customer Concentrations.

 

Prior to the transaction discussed more fully in Note 8, accounts receivable resulted primarily from sale of software and licenses to customers and are recorded at their principal amounts. The categories of sales and receivables and their terms of payment are as follows:

 

a) Master License Agreement (“Agreement”) deposits – Deposits are payable in accordance with the terms of the Agreement. Payment terms may vary from Agreement to Agreement, with payment due generally within 30 days of the execution of an Agreement.
b) Software consultancy and hardware fees – The terms of payment are fixed terms, with payment normally due within stated terms, normally 30 days from the date of the invoice.
c) Maintenance and operational fees and end user licenses fees – Payments vary from customer to customer. For customers who have not entered into a revenue share agreement, the terms of payment are fixed and payment is due within stated terms, normally 30 days from the date of the invoice. For customers who have entered into a revenue share agreement, the Company will receive an agreed proportion of a customer’s revenue from the customer’s operation of the Horizon service. The proportion of a customer’s revenue received is used to pay the receivable balance until the balance is paid.

 

Receivables are generally unsecured.

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2017, $431,000 or 78% of the Company’s revenue was concentrated in the hands of one major customer. In the six months ended June 30, 2016 the equivalent amount was $795,000 or 81% of revenue.

 

The Company does not have off-balance sheet credit exposure related to its customers. As of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, two customers accounted for 52% and 61%, respectively, of the accounts receivable balance.

 

Intangible Assets

 

Prior to the transaction discussed more fully in Note 8, intangible assets included software development costs and customer lists and are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of five years for customer lists and ten years for software development. The Company periodically evaluates whether changes have occurred that would require revision of the remaining estimated useful life. The Company performs periodic reviews of its capitalized intangible assets to determine if the assets have continuing value to the Company. Based on these valuations, an impairment charge of $572,000 was recognized during the six months ended June 30, 2017.

 

10  

 

 

The Company expenses software development costs as incurred until technological feasibility has been established, at which time those costs are capitalized until the product is available for general release to customers. Judgement is required in determining when technical feasibility of a product is established. The Company has determined that after technological feasibility for software products is reached, the Company continues to address all high risk development issues through coding and testing prior to release of the products to customers. The amortization of these costs is included in cost of revenue over the estimated life of the products.

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, software development costs of $259,000 and $207,000, respectively, have been capitalized.

 

Research and Development Expenses

 

Research and development expenses include all direct costs, primarily salaries for Company personnel and outside consultants, costs related to the development of new products, significant enhancements to existing products, and the portion of costs of development of internal-use software required to be expensed. Research and development costs are charged to operations as incurred with the exception of those software development costs that may qualify for capitalization.

 

Debt Issue Costs

 

Debt issue costs related to long-term debt are capitalized and amortized over the term of the related debt using the effective interest method.

 

Income Taxes

 

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based on temporary differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities, operating loss, and tax credit carryforwards, and are measured using the enacted income tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Realization of certain deferred income tax assets is dependent upon generating sufficient taxable income in the appropriate jurisdiction. The Company records a valuation allowance to reduce deferred income tax assets to amounts that are more likely than not to be realized. The initial recording and any subsequent changes to valuation allowances are based on a number of factors (positive and negative evidence). The Company considers its actual historical results to have a stronger weight than other, more subjective, indicators when considering whether to establish or reduce a valuation allowance.

 

The Company continually evaluates its uncertain income tax positions and may record a liability for any unrecognized tax benefits resulting from uncertain income tax positions taken or expected to be taken in an income tax return. Estimated interest and penalties are recorded as a component of interest expense and other expense, respectively.

 

Because tax laws are complex and subject to different interpretations, significant judgment is required. As a result, the Company makes certain estimates and assumptions in: (1) calculating its income tax expense, deferred tax assets, and deferred tax liabilities; (2) determining any valuation allowance recorded against deferred tax assets; and (3) evaluating the amount of unrecognized tax benefits, as well as the interest and penalties related to such uncertain tax positions. The Company’s estimates and assumptions may differ significantly from tax benefits ultimately realized. Historically the Company has not filed income tax returns and the related required informational filings in the US. Certain informational filings, if not filed, contain penalties. The Company is currently addressing this issue with advisors to determine the amount, if any, of potential payments due. Given the complexity of the issue the Company is unable to quantify a range of potential loss, if any. Accordingly no liability has been recorded in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets in respect of this matter

Net Loss per Share

 

Basic net loss per share is calculated by dividing the net loss attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding in the period. Diluted loss per share takes into consideration common shares outstanding (computed under basic loss per share) and potentially dilutive securities. For the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, outstanding stock options and warrants are antidilutive because of net losses, and as such, their effect has not been included in the calculation of diluted net loss per share. Common shares issuable are considered outstanding as of the original approval date for purposes of earnings per share computations.

 

Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)

 

Other comprehensive income (loss), as defined, includes net loss, foreign currency translation adjustments, and all changes in equity (net assets) during a period from non-owner sources. To date, the Company has not had any significant transactions that are required to be reported in other comprehensive income (loss), except for foreign currency translation adjustments.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the fiscal period. The Company makes estimates for, among other items, useful lives for depreciation and amortization, determination of future cash flows associated with impairment testing for long-lived assets, determination of the fair value of stock options and warrants, determining fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in business combinations, valuation allowance for deferred tax assets, allowances for doubtful accounts, and potential income tax assessments and other contingencies. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience, current conditions, and other assumptions that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ from those estimates and assumptions.

 

Stock based payments

 

The Company accounts for stock-based awards at fair value on date of grant and recognition of compensation over the service period for awards expected to vest. The fair value of stock options is determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, which includes subjective judgements about the expected life of the awards, forfeiture rates and stock price volatility.

 

In July 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-11, Earnings Per Share (Topic 260), Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (Topic 480) and Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): I. Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Down Round Features; II. Replacement of the Indefinite Deferral for Mandatorily Redeemable Financial Instruments of Certain Nonpublic Entities and Certain Mandatorily Redeemable Non-controlling Interests with a Scope Exception. Part I of this update addresses the complexity of accounting for certain financial instruments with down round features. Down round features are features of certain equity-linked instruments (or embedded features) that result in the strike price being reduced on the basis of the pricing of future equity offerings. Current accounting guidance creates cost and complexity for entities that issue financial instruments (such as warrants and convertible instruments) with down round features that require fair value measurement of the entire instrument or conversion option. Part II of this update addresses the difficulty of navigating Topic 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity, because of the existence of extensive pending content in the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. This pending content is the result of the indefinite deferral of accounting requirements about mandatorily redeemable financial instruments of certain nonpublic entities and certain mandatorily redeemable non-controlling interests. The amendments in Part II of this update do not have an accounting effect. This ASU is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of ASU 2017-11, during the six months ended June 30, 2017, did not have any impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

 

Note 3. Intangible Assets

 

Intangible assets consist primarily of software development costs and customer and reseller relationships which are amortized over the estimated useful life, generally on a straight-line basis with the exception of customer relationships, which are generally amortized over the greater of straight-line or the related asset’s pattern of economic benefit.

Note 8. Subsequent Event

 

On July 31, 2017, the Company received a written alert from Nasdaq Listing Qualifications that our closing bid price for the last 30 consecutive days was less than $1.00 per share. As a result the Company is below the continued listing requirement to maintain a minimum bid price of $1.00 per share as set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a). However, Nasdaq Listing Rule 581 (c) (3)(A) provides a compliance period of 180 calendar days to regain compliance. If at any time during this 180 day period the closing bid price is at least $1.00 for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days, the Company will regain compliance.

 

On August 11, 2017, the Company consummated a Stock Purchase Agreement pursuant to which its Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of three of the Company’s subsidiaries, Abbey Technology GmbH, Horizon Globex GmbH, and Horizon Globex Ireland Ltd., and approximately 99.7% of the outstanding shares in One Horizon Group PLC (collectively, the “Acquired Entities”) from the Company in consideration for the forgiveness of approximately $2.0 million due from the Company to its CEO. In connection with the transaction, the CEO and the Acquired Entities released the Company and its remaining subsidiaries (the “Excluded Entities”) from any claims outstanding as of the date of the transaction and the Company and the Excluded Entities released the Acquired Entities from any outstanding claims.

 

In contemplation of the Stock Purchase Agreement certain intellectual property was transferred among the Acquired Entities and the Excluded Entities such that each could continue the business contemplated to be carried on after the transaction was consummated;

 

Upon conclusion of the Stock Purchase Agreement the CEO resigned from all positions held within the Company and the Excluded Entities.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

The following discussion provides information which management believes is relevant to an assessment and understanding of our results of operations and financial condition. The discussion should be read along with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 and notes thereto contained elsewhere in this Report, and our annual report on Form 10-K for the twelve months ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, including the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto. The following discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements, which involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results may differ significantly from the results, expectations and plans discussed in these forward-looking statements. See “Cautionary Note Concerning Forward-Looking Statements.”

 

Overview

 

Business

 

On August 11, 2017 the Company completed a sale of four subsidiaries (“Acquired Entities”), based in Europe, to the Chief Executive Officer, Mr Brian J Collins. The Company decided to reduce its expenditure base and concentrate on opportunities in the Chinese market for its secure messaging software. The Acquired Entities retained the intellectual property related to the Horizon VoIP product and the existing customers associated with that technology. The Company has retained the subsidiaries (“Retained Entities”) and business based in China and Hong Kong together with the intellectual property related to secure messaging and intends to continue to promote this business in China and Hong Kong. The Retained Entities in June 2017, secured a contract with a Hong Kong based customer for the technology. It is expected the contract will produce revenue in excess of $500,000 in the second half of 2017 and, absent the costs related to the business conducted by the Acquired Entities, the Company expects to be cash flow positive in the near term. In addition, the Retained Entities are in discussions regarding other sales opportunities in the same region.

Revenue: Our revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2017 was approximately $181,000 as compared to approximately $366,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2016, a decrease of approximately $185,000, or 50.5%. The decrease was primarily due to the reduction in software license sales in the business in the B2C business in Asia.

 

Cost of Revenue: Cost of revenue excluding amortization of software development costs, was approximately $3,000 or 1.7% of sales for the three months ended June 30, 2017, compared to cost of revenue of $49,000 or 13.4% of sales for the three months ended June 30, 2016. Our cost of sales excluding amortization of software development costs, is composed of the cost of ancillary hardware equipment sold and costs of PSTN calls breakout and other network charges.

 

Gross Profit : Gross profit excluding the Amortization of software development costs, for the three months ended June 30, 2017 was approximately $178,000 as compared to $317,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2016, a decrease of approximately 43.8%. The decrease was mainly due to the decreased revenue as set forth above herein.

 

Operating Expenses: Operating expenses, including general and administrative expenses, depreciation and research and development were approximately $1,266,000 and $1,079,000 during the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The increase of $187,000 or 17.3% was primarily due to impairment charge offset by a reduction in research and development costs expensed and other non cash items expensed.

 

Loss before taxes: Loss before taxes for the three months ended June 30, 2017 was approximately $1,780,000 as compared to loss before taxes of approximately $1,429,000 for the same period in 2016. The increase in loss was primarily due to the increase in general and administrative expenses mentioned above.

Revenue: Our revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2017 was approximately $554,000 as compared to approximately $975,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2016, a decrease of approximately $421,000, or 43.2%. The decrease was primarily due to the decrease in license sales in the B2B sector in Asia.

 

Cost of Revenue: Cost of revenue excluding amortization of software development costs, was approximately $5,000 or 0.9% of sales for the six months ended June 30, 2017, compared to cost of revenue of $75,000 or 7.7% of sales for the six months ended June 30, 2016. Our cost of sales excluding amortization of software development costs, is composed of cost of ancillary hardware equipment sold and costs of PSTN calls breakout and other network charges. The decrease in cost of revenue during the six months ended June 30, 2017, when compared to the same period in 2016 is due to lower sales in 2017 of PSTN calls when compared to the same period in 2016.

 

Gross Profit : Gross profit excluding the Amortization of software development costs, for the six months ended June 30, 2017 was approximately $549,000 as compared to $900,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2016, a decrease of approximately $351,000 or 39.0%. The decrease was mainly due to the reduced revenue as set forth above herein.

 

Operating Expenses: Operating expenses, including general and administrative expenses, depreciation and research and development were approximately $2.2 million and $2.2 million during the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

 

Net Loss: Net Loss for the six months ended June 30, 2017 was approximately $3.1 million as compared to loss of approximately $2.7 million for the same period in 2016. The increase in loss was primarily due to the increase in general and administrative expenses and by a reduction in revenues mentioned above.

Net cash used in operating activities was approximately $41,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2017 as compared to net cash used in operating activities of approximately $597,000 for the same period in 2016. The decrease in cash used in operations was primarily due to the increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses as compared to the same period in 2016.

 

Net cash used in investing activities was approximately $261,000 and $211,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Net cash used in investing activities was primarily focused on development of software.

 

Net cash generated in financing activities was $102,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2017 as compared to net cash used in financing activities of $66,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2016. Cash raised by financing activities in 2017 was primarily due to the exercise of warrants. Cash used in financing activities in 2016 was primarily due to the payment of preferred dividends.

 

As Horizon continues to pursue its operations and business plan, it expects to incur further losses in 2017 which, when combined with any investment in intellectual property, will generate negative cash flows. As of June 30, 2017, the Company did not have any available credit facilities. As a result, it is in the process of seeking new financing by way of sale of either convertible debt or equities. Subsequent to June 30, 2017, the Company entered into a series of transactions to improve liquidity and reduce outstanding obligations (see Note 8). Whilst it has been successful in the past in obtaining the necessary capital to support its investment and operations, there is no assurance that it will be able to obtain additional financing under acceptable terms and conditions, or at all. In the event, Horizon is unable to obtain sufficient additional funding when needed in order to fund ongoing research and development activities as well as operations, it would not be able to continue as a going concern and maybe forced to severely curtail or cease operations and liquidate the Company.

 

The condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability or classification of assets or amounts of liabilities that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties. Our current independent registered public accounting firm included a paragraph emphasizing this going concern uncertainty in their audit report dated April 10, 2017, regarding our 2016 financial statements.

 

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

 

Not applicable.

 

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

 

(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Disclosure controls are procedures that are designed with the objective of ensuring that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act, such as this Report, is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls are also designed with the objective of ensuring that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our management evaluated, with the participation of our current chief executive officer and chief financial officer (our “Certifying Officers”), the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2017, pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Exchange Act. Based upon that evaluation, and as discussed more fully in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 filed on April 11, 2017, our Certifying Officers concluded that, as of June 30, 2017, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective.

 

We do not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures will prevent all errors and all instances of fraud. Disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the disclosure controls and procedures are met. Further, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all disclosure controls and procedures, no evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures can provide absolute assurance that we have detected all our control deficiencies and instances of fraud, if any. The design of disclosure controls and procedures also is based partly on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.

 

(b) Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the fiscal quarter covered by this report that has materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

 

On May 23, 2017, the Company entered into an agreement with L1 Capital Global Opportunities Master Fund in which the Company agreed to reprice 127,366 (post-reverse split) options held by L1 to $0.80 per share provided L1 exercised the options and delivered the exercise price no later than May 25, 2017. L1 elected to exercise the options from which the Company received gross proceeds of $101,893. The proceeds were applied to the Company’s working capital.

 

The transaction with L1 was exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, as private placement completed in accordance with Regulation D promulgated thereunder.

5.2           Conflicts; Defaults . The execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other agreements and instruments executed or to be executed in connection herewith by the Company do not, and the performance by the Company of its obligations hereunder and thereunder and the consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, will not: (i) violate, conflict with, or constitute a breach or default under any of the terms of its certificate of incorporation or bylaws; (ii) require any authorization, approval, consent, registration, declaration or filing with, from or to any Governmental Entity other than those required to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission; (iii) violate any law, statute, judgment, decree, injunction, order, writ, rule or regulation applicable to the Company.

ARTICLE IX

SURVIVAL OF REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES; INDEMNIFICATION

 

9.1           Survival . The representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement, in any Exhibit or Schedule hereto and in any certificate or instrument delivered in connection herewith shall survive for a period of twelve (12) months after the Closing Date (the “Warranty Period”) and shall thereupon terminate and expire and shall be of no force or effect thereafter, except (i) with respect to any claim, written notice of which shall have been delivered to Buyer or the Company, as the case may be, in accordance herewith and prior to the end of the Warranty Period, such claim shall survive the termination of such Warranty Period for as long as such claim is unsettled, and (ii) with respect to any litigation which shall have been commenced to resolve such claim on or prior to such date.

 

9.2           Indemnification by Acquired Entities Subject to the provisions of Section 9.5 below, each of the Acquired Entities hereby covenants and agrees that it shall jointly and severally indemnify the Company and the Excluded Entities, and their respective directors, officers, affiliates and employees, and each of their successors and assigns (individually, a “Horizon Indemnified Party”), and hold them harmless from, against and in respect of any and all costs, losses, claims, liabilities (including for Taxes), fines, penalties, damages and expenses (including interest, if any, imposed in connection therewith, court costs and reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel) (collectively, “Damages”) incurred by any Horizon Indemnified Party arising out of or related to (i) any claims made by the customers of the Acquired Entities set forth on Schedule 9.2.1 and the employees of the Acquired Entities set forth on Schedule 9.2.2 and (ii) any breach by Buyer of the representation contained in Sections 6.3 and 6.6.

 

9.3           Indemnification by the Company . Subject to the provisions of Section 9.5 below, the Company and each of the Excluded Entities hereby covenants and agrees that it shall jointly and severally indemnify Buyer and the Acquired Entities, and their respective affiliates, directors, officers and employees, and each of their successors and assigns (individually, a “Collins Indemnified Party”), and hold them harmless from, against and in respect of any and all Damages incurred by any Collins Indemnified Party arising out of or related to (i) the operations of the Company and any Excluded Entity and any breach by the Company of any representation or warranty in this Agreement or the non-fulfillment in any material respect of any agreement, covenant or obligation of the Company made in this Agreement (including without limitation any Exhibit or Schedule hereto and any certificate or instrument delivered in connection herewith).

 

8

 

 

9.4           Right to Defend . If a claim for indemnification shall involve a claim or demand by a third party against a Horizon Indemnified Party or a Collins Indemnified Party (referred to in this Section as an “Indemnified Party”), the Indemnified Party will give notice of the claim to the other party (the “Indemnifying Party”), which shall detail the nature, basis and amount of the claim (the “Notice of Third Party Claim”). The failure to provide a Notice of Third Party Claim shall only relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligation to indemnify for such claim to the extent that it has been prejudiced by the failure to give the Notice of Third Party Claim. The Indemnifying Party may (without prejudice to the right of an Indemnified Party to participate at its own expense through counsel of its own choosing) undertake the defense of such claims at its expense with counsel chosen and paid by it by giving notice (the “Election to Defend”) to the Indemnified Party within thirty (30) days after the date the Notice of Third Party Claim is deemed received; provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party may not settle such claims without the consent of the Indemnified Party, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, except if the sole relief provided is monetary damages to be borne by the Indemnifying Party; and, provided further, if the defendants in any action include both the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party, and the Indemnified Party shall have reasonably concluded that counsel selected by the Indemnifying party has a conflict of interest, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate in such defense and the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel to the Indemnified Party shall be considered “Damages.”. The Indemnified Party shall cooperate in the defense of any claim and make available pertinent information under its control If an Indemnifying Party does not give the Election to Defend as provided above, it will be deemed to have irrevocably waived its right to defend or settle such claims.

 

9.5           Limitation on Rights of Indemnification . Neither the Horizon Indemnified Parties nor the Collins Indemnified Parties shall have any right to indemnification under this Agreement or in any agreement executed pursuant thereto, unless and until the aggregate amount of any and all such indemnification claims made by such party under this Agreement exceeds $50,000 (the “Basket”). If Horizon Indemnified Party claims or Collins Indemnified Party indemnified claims exceed the Basket, such party shall be entitled to seek compensation for all Damages in excess of such amount.

 

9.6           Subrogation .

 

(a)       If an Indemnified Party receives payment or other indemnification from an Indemnifying Party, the Indemnifying Party shall be subrogated to the extent of such payment or indemnification to all rights in respect of the subject matter of such claim to which the Indemnified Party may be entitled, to institute appropriate action against third parties for the recovery thereof, including under any insurance policies, and the Indemnified Party agrees to assist and cooperate in good faith with the Indemnifying Party and to take any action reasonably required by such Indemnifying Party, at the expense of such Indemnifying Party, in enforcing such rights.

 

9

 

 

(b)       If an Indemnifying Party shall have paid an Indemnified Party for an indemnified claim or otherwise, and the Indemnified Party subsequently receives payment under insurance policies covering such claim, the Indemnified Party shall repay to the Indemnifying Party the amount of such prior payment made by the Indemnifying Party; provided, however, such repayment shall not exceed the actual amount received by the Indemnified Party under such policy, less all reasonable fees (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by the Indemnified Party in pursuing and collecting under such policy.

 

ARTICLE X - MISCELLANEOUS

 

10.1         Waivers . No action taken pursuant to this Agreement, including any investigation by or on behalf of any party, shall be deemed to constitute a waiver by the party taking such action of compliance with any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained herein or in any other documents.
