NOTE 1 – THE COMPANY AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Nature of Operations

One Stop Systems, Inc. (“we,” “our,” “OSS,” or the “Company”) was originally incorporated as a California corporation in 1999, after initially being formed as a California limited liability company in 1998. On December 14, 2017, the Company was reincorporated as a Delaware corporation in connection with its initial public offering.  The Company designs, manufactures, and markets specialized high-performance computing modules and systems, which are designed to target edge computing deployments. The Company markets its products to manufacturers of automated equipment used for media and entertainment, medical, industrial, and military applications.     

During the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company formed a wholly-owned subsidiary in Germany, One Stop Systems, GmbH (“OSS GmbH”).  In July 2016, the Company acquired Mission Technologies Group, Inc. (“Magma”) and its operations.

On August 31, 2018, the Company acquired Concept Development Inc. (“CDI”) located in Irvine, California.  CDI specializes in the design and manufacture of custom high-performance computing systems for airborne in-flight entertainment and networking systems.  CDI has been fully integrated into the core operations of OSS as of June 1, 2020.

On October 31, 2018, OSS GmbH acquired 100% of the outstanding stock of Bressner Technology GmbH, a Germany limited liability company located near Munich, Germany (“Bressner”).  Bressner provides standard and customized servers, panel PCs, and PCIe expansion systems.  Bressner also provides manufacturing, test, sales and marketing services for customers throughout Europe.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of OSS, which include the acquisition of CDI, and its wholly owned subsidiary, OSS GmbH, which also includes the acquisition of Bressner.  Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

The negative impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the impact on the global economy and capital markets resulting from the geopolitical instability caused in part by the ongoing military conflict between Russia and Ukraine have contributed to global supply chain issues and economic uncertainty, which has negatively affected our operations.  For example, the Company’s revenue growth during fiscal year 2020 slowed due to the effects of COVID-19 and, although it rebounded in 2021, it has not yet fully recovered, particularly in its media and entertainment business.  

Currently, we are experiencing increased pricing, longer lead-times, unavailability of product and limited supplies, protracted delivery dates, changes in minimum order quantities to secure product, and/or shortages of certain parts and supplies that are necessary components for the products and services we offer to our customers.   As a result, the Company is carrying increased inventory balances to ensure availability of necessary products and to secure pricing.  Additionally, products that are in the “work-in-process” stage and our inventory of finished goods have increased due to the timing and availability of certain componentry necessary to complete our products.

 

These global issues are also impacting some of our customers, who are experiencing downturns or uncertainty in their own business operations and revenue, and as a result, these customers may need to decrease or delay their technology spending, requested pricing concessions or payment extensions, or seek to renegotiate their contracts.

 

As a result of these global issues, it has been difficult to accurately forecast our revenues or financial results, especially given that the near and long term impact of the pandemic and geopolitical issues.  In addition, while the potential impact and duration of these issues on the economy and our business may be difficult to assess or predict, these world events have resulted in, and may continue to result in, significant disruption of global financial markets,

and may reduce our ability to access additional capital, which could negatively affect our liquidity in the future. Our results of operations could be materially below our forecasts as well, which could adversely affect our results of operations, disappoint analysts and investors, or cause our stock price to decline.

Furthermore, a decrease in orders in a given period could negatively affect our revenues in future periods. These global issues and events may also have the effect of heightening many risks associated with our customers and supply chain. We may take further actions that alter our operations as may be required by federal, state, or local authorities from time to time, or which we determine are in our best interests. In addition, we may decide to postpone or abandon planned investments in our business in response to changes in our business, which may impact our ability to attract and retain customers and our rate of innovation, either of which could harm our business.

Management plans with respect to the above are to continue their efforts towards responding to the changing economic landscape, to continue to control costs, conserve cash, strengthen margins, and improve company-wide execution.
