2.     MANAGEMENT'S PLANS

 

On August 27, 2014, FASB issued ASU 2014-15, Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s ability to Continue as a Going Concern, which requires management to assess a company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year from financial statement issuance and to provide related footnote disclosures in certain circumstances.

 

The Company has historically experienced significant operating losses with cumulative losses from inception of approximately $10 million. These losses have resulted in a negative working capital position of approximately $719,000 at March 31, 2019, of which approximately $378,000 of the Company’s current liabilities is owed to its officers and directors, and approximately $517,000 of the Company’s current liabilities is deferred revenue.  The Company’s officers and directors, who are also major shareholders, have agreed to not seek payment of any of the amounts owed to them if such payment would jeopardize the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.  The deferred revenue represents advance payments for services from the Company’s customers which will be satisfied by its delivery of services in the normal course of business and will not require settlement in cash.

 

The Company started a number of initiatives in 2017 which included revenue enhancement initiatives, cost saving initiatives, the sale of excess assets and an orderly exit from the CLEC business.  The Company was successful with its revenue enhancement and cost saving initiatives and in selling certain excess assets in the third quarter of 2018 and the first quarter of 2019, as well as effecting an orderly exit from the CLEC business through the sale of substantially all of its wholly owned subsidiary’s CLEC operating assets (see Note 10 – Discontinued Operations).

 

As a result of these initiatives, the Company generated positive cash flow from its operating activities of approximately $247,000 and $25,000, for the three months ending March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.  In addition, the Company was able to generate net income of approximately $118,000 and $106,000, for the three months ending March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

 

Management expects that the success of these initiatives will provide the Company with sufficient liquidity for it to operate for the next 12 months.

 

As a result of the revenue enhancement initiatives, the cost saving initiatives, the excess asset sales and the successful exit from the CLEC business, the Company has been able to significantly improve its working capital position and alleviate any substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern as defined by ASU 2014-05.  We believe that the actions discussed above mitigate the substantial doubt raised by our prior operating losses and satisfy our estimated liquidity needs 12 months from the issuance of the financial statements. However, we cannot predict, with certainty, the outcome of our actions to generate additional liquidity, including the availability of additional debt financing, or whether such actions would generate the expected liquidity as currently planned. Additionally, a failure to generate additional liquidity could negatively impact our ability to effectively execute our business plan.
