The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for quarterly reports on Form 10-Q of Article 10 of Regulation S-X and do not include all of the information and note disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Accordingly, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2012 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) which are, in the opinion of the management, considered necessary for a fair presentation of condensed consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods. Operating results for the three and nine month periods ended January 31, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending April 30, 2013. The amounts for the April 30, 2012 balance sheet have been extracted from the audited consolidated financial statements included in Form 10-K for the year ended April 30, 2012.

As a result, these condensed consolidated financial statements reflect the results of these four operations as discontinued operations for all periods presented, including certain reclassifications to prior year financial statements to present discontinued operations.

 

Liquidity and Going Concern

 

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and the amount and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

As further described in Note 4, “Senior Secured Convertible Notes”, on December 4, 2012, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the Purchase Agreement) with six accredited investors (the Buyers) pursuant to which, the Company sold an aggregate of (i) $4,000,000 principal amount of senior secured convertible notes (the Notes) and (ii) warrants (the Warrants) to purchase 15,923,567 shares of the Company's common stock (Common Stock), to the Buyers for aggregate gross proceeds of $4,000,000 (the Financing). The closing of the Financing was completed on December 5, 2012 (the Closing Date).

 

Pursuant to the terms of the Notes, the Company agreed to deposit the initial funds received from the Financing, minus $2,178,516, the (Initial Lending Amount) into an account (the Lockbox Account) controlled by Worldwide Stock Transfer, LLC (the Collateral Agent), as collateral agent on behalf of the Buyers. In addition, all payments of accounts receivable of the Company (and its domestic subsidiaries) shall be deposited into the Lockbox Account. The Company is permitted to receive from the Lockbox Account, on a daily basis, such amount of cash equal to: (A) (i) cash balance in the Lockbox Account plus (ii) 95% of available qualified accounts receivable minus (iii) $250,000 minus (B) amount of principal, accrued interest, fees, costs and expenses owed pursuant to the Notes.

 

As further described in Note 5, “Other Debt”, on January 27, 2012, WPCS and its United States-based subsidiaries Suisun City Operations, Seattle Operations, Portland Operations, Hartford Operations, Lakewood Operations, and Trenton Operations (collectively, the Subsidiaries), entered into a loan and security agreement (the Credit Agreement) with Sovereign Bank, N.A. (Sovereign). The Company used the Initial Lending Amount to repay the existing loan of $2,000,000, plus $78,516 of interest accrued and fees and expenses to Sovereign, which Credit Agreement was terminated in connection with the Financing, and $100,000 for Buyer legal fees in connection with the Notes.

 

As more fully described in Note 12, “Commitments and Contingencies,” on July 12, 2012, the Company executed the Surety Financing and Confession of Judgment Agreement (the Zurich Agreement) with Zurich American Insurance Company (Zurich), to assist in the completion of the project contract with the Camden County Improvement Authority for work at the Cooper Medical Center in New Jersey (the Owner or Cooper Project). The Company is not in compliance with the terms of the Zurich Agreement. As a result of the Company’s noncompliance, the Company instructed the Owner to make at all current and future payments directly to Zurich. In addition, the Company is contingently liable to Zurich and its affiliate Fidelity and Deposit Company of Maryland (F&D) under a general indemnity agreement (the Indemnity Agreement). Zurich and F&D, as surety, have issued certain performance and payment bonds on behalf of owners or customers regarding the Company’s work on various projects under the Indemnity Agreement. As of January 31, 2013, $4,369,765 of accounts receivable, and $5,863,459 of accounts payable have been approved by the Company and assigned to Zurich and F&D under the Indemnity Agreement, and reclassified from consolidated accounts receivable and accounts payable, respectively, resulting in a net amount owed to Zurich and F&D under the Indemnity Agreement of $1,493,694. Including the $793,927 owed under the Zurich Agreement, the net Other Payable owed to Zurich is $2,287,621 as of January 31, 2013. The Company is currently in negotiations with Zurich in regards to a forbearance agreement for the repayment of the final Other Payable due Zurich.

 

Upon final settlement with Zurich, including assignment of future billings from customers and assignment of remaining accounts payable recorded at January 31, 2013, the Company estimates that the final net Other Payable due Zurich is approximately $1,697,000. In addition, the Company submitted a revised claim and request for equitable adjustment to the Owner in the amount of $2,421,425 for significant delays, disruptions and construction changes that were beyond its control and required the Company to perform additional work. The Company is currently in negotiations with the Owner to settle the claim, and if it successful in settlement of this claim, the Company expects to use the proceeds from the claim to repay Zurich the estimated remaining balance due.

 

At January 31, 2013, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $2,136,045 and working capital of $1,346,836, which consisted of current assets of $17,931,300 and current liabilities of $16,584,464. However, the Company’s outstanding obligations under the Zurich Agreement and Indemnity Agreement raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in settling with the Owner for all or a portion of the submitted claim, and there can be no assurance that the Company and Zurich will come to any agreement regarding repayment, future forbearance terms, or waiver or modification of terms under the Zurich Agreement and Indemnity Agreement, which would have a serious adverse effect on the Company’s business, operations and future prospects.

 

The Company's continuation as a going concern is ultimately dependent upon its ability to settle with Zurich regarding repayment or forbearance under the Zurich Agreement and Indemnity Agreement, the settlement of the claim with the Owner, and future financial performance which will be affected by general economic, competitive, and other factors, many of which are beyond the Company's control. The report of our independent registered public accounting firm for the year ended April 30, 2012 contained an emphasis paragraph indicating there is substantial doubt concerning our ability to continue as a going concern.
