NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

THE COMPANY

 

Boxlight Corporation (the “Company” or “Boxlight Parent”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on September 18, 2014 with its headquarters in Atlanta, Georgia for the purpose of becoming a technology company that sells interactive educational products.

 

Boxlight, Inc., Boxlight Latinoamerica, S.A. DE C.V. (“BLA”) and Boxlight Latinoamerica Servicios, S.A. DE C.V. (“BLS”) (together, “Boxlight Group”) were incorporated on July 11, 2009, October 17, 2002 and October 17, 2002, respectively. The Boxlight Group is involved principally in the distribution of interactive projectors and integrated solutions that enhance learning and enable people to collaborate with each other in innovative and effective ways. In June 2016, Boxlight Group engaged legal counsel in Mexico to start the process of closing the operations of BLA and BLS. BLA and BLS have been merged into Boxlight, Inc. in July 2016. Boxlight Group was wholly owned by Everest Display Inc., a manufacturing company in Taiwan. In May 2016, Everest Display Inc. agreed to sell all of its ownership in Boxlight Group to the Company. On July 18, 2016, the Company acquired Boxlight Group.

 

Mimio LLC (“Mimio”) was formed in Delaware on July 1, 2013. Mimio designs, develops and sells interactive classroom technology products, of which Mimio owns most of the design and performance patents, and which are manufactured by a contract manufacturer (“CM”) in Shenzhen, China. Mimio also purchases and sells other non-proprietary products such as classroom projectors and flat panel displays as an original equipment manufacturer (“OEM”) from manufacturers in China and Taiwan. The primary market for Mimio’s products is classrooms K-12. All of the products are integrated in the classroom through Mimio’s award winning operating software “Mimio Studio.” Mimio’s products are distributed globally through a network of value added resellers (“VARs”) in the U.S. and Canada, and through master distributors in the rest of the world. On November 4, 2015, Mimio was acquired by Mim Holdings, Inc. (“Mim Holdings”), a Delaware corporation wholly-owned by Marlborough Trust. Marlborough Trust was established for the benefit of members of the families of affiliates of VC2 Partners, LLC (“VC2 Partners”). VC2 Partners and Mim Holdings are affiliates of Vert Capital. On April 1, 2016, Boxlight Parent acquired 100% of the membership interests in Mimio from Mim Holdings.

 

Genesis Collaboration, LLC (“Genesis”) was formed as a limited liability company in September 2011 in Atlanta, Georgia, to provide solutions that enhance interactive learning in the business, government, and education markets. Genesis is a technology provider that facilitates effective communication in schools, training facilities and workplaces around the world. Genesis offers a wide range of integrated products that change the way individuals collaborate and learn. In the classroom, Genesis offers a wide range of integrated interactive solutions that transform the way teachers deliver lessons and assess progress. Genesis’ products include interactive whiteboard systems, interactive tables, interactive and standard projectors, audio systems, data loggers, software, assessment and student response systems. On October 31, 2013, Vert Capital’s subsidiary acquired all of the outstanding membership interests of Genesis. On May 12, 2016, the Company acquired Genesis from Vert Capital.

 

BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

 

Acquisitions from Vert Capital and Mim Holdings are considered common control transactions. When businesses were acquired from Vert Capital and Mim Holdings that will be consolidated by us, they were accounted for as if the transfer had occurred at the beginning of the period of transfer, with prior periods retrospectively adjusted to furnish comparative information. The acquisitions of Mimio and Genesis were transfers of businesses between entities under common control. Accordingly, the accompanying financial statements and related notes have been retrospectively adjusted to include the historical results and financial position of the acquired entities prior to the effective dates of such acquisitions. The information prior to the Company’s incorporation on September 18, 2014 represents the historical results of Genesis as Genesis was first controlled by Vert Capital and determined to be our predecessor entity for accounting purposes. The financial information for Mimio has been included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements beginning on November 4, 2015, when Mimio was acquired by Mim Holdings. Boxlight Group was acquired by the Company on July 18, 2016. The acquisition of Boxlight Group was accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting. See Note 3— Acquisitions, for additional information.

 

 F-4 

 

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Boxlight Corporation, Boxlight Group, Mimio and Genesis. Transactions and balances among Boxlight Corporation, Boxlight Group, Mimio and Genesis have been eliminated. The assets and liabilities of Mimio and Genesis in these financial statements have been reflected on a historical cost basis because the transfers of Mimio and Genesis to the Company are considered common control transactions. When the Company acquired Mimio and Genesis, the Company, Mimio and Genesis were under direct or indirect control of Vert Capital.

 

As of October 2016, Boxlight Parent transferred all of the assets and the associated liabilities of Mimio LLC to Boxlight, Inc. and voluntarily liquidated the Mimio LLC entity in April 2017. On June 14, 2017, Boxlight Parent merged Genesis into the Boxlight, Inc. subsidiary which now owns and operates substantially all of the assets and business of the consolidated group.

 

The consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). Certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted from these statements pursuant to such rules and regulations and, accordingly, they do not include all the information and notes necessary for comprehensive financial statements and should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2016.

 

ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of certain assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual amounts could differ from those estimates.

 

FOREIGN CURRENCIES

 

The Company’s functional currency is the U.S. Dollar. BLA and BLS’s functional currency is the Mexican Peso. The Company translates their financial statements from their functional currencies into the U.S. dollar.

 

An entity’s functional currency is the currency of the primary economic environment in which it operates and is generally the currency in which the business generates and expends cash. BLA and BLS, whose functional currency is the Mexican Peso, translate their assets and liabilities into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates in effect as of the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated into U.S. dollars at the average exchange rates for the year. Translation adjustments are included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), a separate component of equity. Foreign exchange gains and losses included in net income result from foreign exchange fluctuations on transactions denominated in a currency other than an entity’s functional currency.

 

Acquisition OF BOXLIGHT GROUP

 

The financial statements include the operations of Boxlight Group after the completion of the acquisition on July 18, 2016. We accounted for the acquisition of Boxlight Group using the acquisition method of accounting, which requires, among other things, that most assets acquired and liabilities assumed be recognized at their estimated fair values as of the acquisition date on the balance sheet. Transaction costs are expensed as incurred. Any excess of the consideration transferred over the assigned values of the net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill.

 

 F-5 

 

 

Common control transactions

 

Businesses acquired from Vert Capital are accounted for as common control transactions whereby the net assets (liabilities) acquired (assumed) are combined with the Company’s assets and liabilities at their historical carrying value. Any difference between carrying value and recognized consideration is treated as a capital transaction. Cash received from the acquired entities is presented as an investing activity in our consolidated statements of cash flows.

 

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

 

The Company considers all highly liquid short-term investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. These investments are carried at cost, which approximates fair value. The Company maintains cash balances at financial institutions which, from time to time, may exceed Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insured limits of $250,000 for banks located in the U.S. The Company has not experienced any losses with regard to its bank accounts and believes it is not exposed to any risk of loss on its cash bank accounts.

 

ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE AND ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS

 

Accounts receivable are stated at historical carrying amounts, net of write-offs, allowance for doubtful accounts, sales returns and volume rebates. Allowance for doubtful accounts represents management’s estimate of the amount that ultimately will be realized in cash. The Company reviews the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts on an ongoing basis, using historical payment trends, the age of receivables and knowledge of the individual customers. When the analysis indicates, management increases or decreases the allowance accordingly. However, if the financial condition of our customers were to deteriorate, additional allowances might be required.

 

INVENTORIES

 

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value and included spare parts and finished goods. Inventories are primarily determined using specific identification method and the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) cost method. Cost includes direct cost from the CM or OEM, plus material overhead related to the purchase, inbound freight and import duty costs.

 

The Company continuously reviews its inventory levels to identify slow-moving merchandise and markdowns necessary to clear slow-moving merchandise, which reduces the cost of inventories to its estimated net realizable value. Consideration is given to a number of quantitative and qualitative factors, including current pricing levels and the anticipated need for subsequent markdowns, aging of inventories, historical sales trends, and the impact of market trends and economic conditions. Estimates of markdown requirements may differ from actual results due to changes in quantity, quality and mix of products in inventory, as well as changes in consumer preferences, market and economic conditions.

 

PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

 

Property and equipment is stated at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated life of the asset. Repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred.

 

LONG – LIVED ASSETS

 

Long-lived assets to be held and used or disposed of other than by sale are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. When required, impairment losses on assets to be held and used or disposed of other than by sale are recognized based on the fair value of the asset. Long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale are reported at the lower of its carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell.

 

Intangible assets

 

Intangible assets are amortized using the straight-line method over their estimated period of benefit. We evaluate the recoverability of intangible assets periodically and take into account events or circumstances that warrant revised estimates of useful lives or that indicate that impairment exists. No material impairments of intangible assets have been identified during any of the periods presented. Intangible assets and goodwill are tested for impairment on an annual basis, and between annual tests if indicators of potential impairment exist, using a fair-value-based approach. Goodwill is not amortized and is not deductible for tax purposes.

 

 F-6 

 

 

DEBT DISCOUNT

 

Debt discount is amortized over the term of the debt using the effective interest rate method.

 

DEFERRED REVENUE

 

Deferred revenue represents amounts collected for any extended warranty that is separately priced. The Company recognizes revenue from extended warranty contracts using the straight-line method over the estimated life of the products which is three years.

 

REVENUE RECOGNITION

 

Revenue is comprised of product sales and service revenue, net of sales returns, co-operative advertising credits, early payment discounts and volume discounts paid to VARs. The Company recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the sales price is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured.

 

Revenue from product sales is derived from the sale of projectors, interactive panels and related accessories. Evidence of an arrangement consists of an order from its distributors, resellers or end users. The Company considers delivery to have occurred once title and risk of loss has been transferred.

 

Service revenue is comprised of product installation services and training services. These service revenues are normally entered into at the time products are sold. Service prices are established depending on product equipment sold and include a cost value for the estimated services to be performed based on historical experience. The Company outsources installation and training services to third parties and recognizes revenue upon completion of the services.

 

The Company’s standard terms and conditions of sale do not allow for product returns and it generally does not allow product returns other than under warranty. However, the Company, on a case by case basis, will grant exceptions, mostly “buyer’s remorse” where the VAR’s end user customer either did not understand what they were ordering, or determined that the product did not meet their needs. An allowance for sales returns is estimated based on an analysis of historical trends.

 

Before Mimio was acquired by the Company, it generally provided 24 to 60 months of warranty coverage on all of its products. Mimio products’ standard warranty period is 24 months, which can be extended to 60 months upon the end user “registering” their device on-line. The Company’s warranty provides for repair or replacement of the associated products during the warranty period. The Company does not record warranty cost upon sale, and instead conducts a periodic review of the warranty liability reserve, and based on historical cost-to-trailing- revenue history, will adjust the warranty liability, with the offset to this adjustment recorded to cost of revenue.

 

 F-7 

 

 

After the acquisitions of Mimio, Genesis and Boxlight Group, the Company determined a new warranty policy to provide 12 to 36 months of warranty coverage on projectors, displays, accessories, batteries and computers except when sold through a “Premier Education Partner” or sold to schools where the Company provides a 60 month warranty. The Company does not record warranty costs upon sale, and instead conducts a periodic review of the warranty liability reserve, and based on historical experience, will adjust the warranty liability, with the offset to this adjustment recorded to cost of revenue. The warranty obligation is affected by product failure rates and the related use of materials, labor costs and freight incurred in correcting any product failure. Should actual product failure rates, use of materials, or other costs differ from the Company’s estimates, additional warranty liabilities could be required, which would reduce its gross profit.

 

The Company offers sales incentives where the Company offers discounted products delivered by the Company to its resellers and distributors that are redeemable only if the resellers and distributors complete specified cumulative levels of revenue agreed to and written into their reseller and distributor agreements through an executed addendum. The resellers and distributors have to submit a request for the discounted products and cannot redeem additional discounts within 180 days from the date of the discount given on like products. The value of the award products as compared to the value of the transactions necessary to earn the award is generally insignificant in relation to the value of the transactions necessary to earn the award. The Company estimates and records the cost of the products related to the incentive as marketing expense based on analyses of historical data.

 

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT EXPENSES

 

Research and development costs are expensed as incurred and consists primarily of personnel related costs, prototype and sample costs, design costs, and global product certifications primarily for wireless certifications.

 

INCOME TAXES

 

An asset and liability approach is used for financial accounting and reporting for income taxes. Deferred income taxes arise from temporary differences between income tax and financial reporting and principally relate to recognition of revenue and expenses in different periods for financial and tax accounting purposes and are measured using currently enacted tax rates and laws. In addition, a deferred tax asset can be generated by net operating loss carryforwards. If it is more likely than not that some portion or all of a deferred tax asset will not be realized, a valuation allowance is recognized.

 

SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION

 

The Company estimates the fair value of each share-based compensation award at the grant date by using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The fair value determined represents the cost for the award and is recognized over the vesting period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award. As share-based compensation expense is recognized based on awards ultimately expected to vest. Excess tax benefits, if any, are recognized as an addition to paid-in capital.

 

NET INCOME (LOSS) PER COMMON SHARE

 

Basic net income (loss) per common share attributable to common stockholders is calculated by dividing the net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period, without consideration for common stock equivalents. Diluted net income per common share attributable to common stockholders is computed by dividing the net income attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common share equivalents outstanding for the period determined using the treasury-stock method. Dilutive common stock equivalents are comprised of stock options.

 

For the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 and for the three months ended September 30, 2016, potentially dilutive securities were not included in the calculation of diluted net loss per share because to do so would be anti-dilutive. Following is a reconciliation of basic earnings per common share (“EPS”) and diluted EPS for the three months ended September 30, 2017:

 

   Three months ended September 30, 2017 
   Net income   Shares   Per share amount 
Basic EPS  $470,294    5,379,762   $0.09 
Dilutive effect of exercise of options   -    430,993    (0.01)
Diluted EPS  $470,294    5,810,755   $0.08 

 

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 

The Company has evaluated all transactions through the financial statement issuance date for subsequent event disclosure consideration.

 

NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

 

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606).” The new guidance provides new criteria for recognizing revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in amounts that reflect the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The new guidance requires expanded disclosures to provide greater insight into both revenue that has been recognized and revenue that is expected to be recognized in the future from existing contracts. Quantitative and qualitative information will be provided about the significant judgments and changes in those judgments that management made to determine the revenue that is recorded. This accounting standard update, as amended, will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. The new revenue standard may be applied retrospectively to each prior period presented or retrospectively with the cumulative effect recognized as of the date of adoption. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than fiscal 2017. The Company is currently assessing the provisions of the guidance and has not determined the impact of the adoption of this guidance on its consolidated financial statements.

 

 F-8 

 

 

In August 2014, the FASB issued ACU 2014-15, Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern. The new standard requires management to assess the company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Disclosures are required if there is substantial doubt as to the company’s continuation as a going concern within one year after the issue date of financial statements. The standard provides guidance for making the assessment, including consideration of management’s plans which may alleviate doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. ASU 2014-15 is effective for years ending after December 15, 2016. The Company has adopted this standard for the year ending December 31, 2016.

 

In February 2016, a pronouncement was issued that creates new accounting and reporting guidelines for leasing arrangements. The new guidance requires organizations that lease assets to recognize assets and liabilities on the balance sheet related to the rights and obligations created by those leases, regardless of whether they are classified as finance or operating leases. Consistent with current guidance, the recognition, measurement, and presentation of expenses and cash flows arising from a lease primarily will depend on its classification as a finance or operating lease. The guidance also requires new disclosures to help financial statement users better understand the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. The new standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within that reporting period, with early application permitted. The new standard is to be applied using a modified retrospective approach. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the new pronouncement on its financial statements.

 

In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, “Compensation – Stock Compensation” (topic 718). The FASB issued this update to improve the accounting for employee share-based payments and affect all organizations that issue share-based payment awards to their employees. Several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment award transactions are simplified, including: (a) income tax consequences; (b) classification of awards as either equity or liabilities; and (c) classification on the statement of cash flows. The updated guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted this guidance in the first quarter of 2017. The adoption of this standard had no material effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

 

There were various other accounting standards and interpretations issued recently, none of which are expected to a have a material impact on our financial position, operations or cash flows.

 

NOTE 2 – GOING CONCERN

 

These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes the Company will continue to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon the continued financial support from its shareholders, the ability of the Company to repay its debt obligations currently in default or negotiate alternative repayment arrangements, to obtain necessary equity financing to continue operations, and the attainment of profitable operations. As of September 30, 2017, the Company was in default of certain of its debt obligations and had an accumulated deficit of $7,394,001 and a working capital deficit of $4,414,859. These factors raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not include any adjustments to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. The Company is seeking to obtain funds for operations from its initial public offering and support from its majority shareholder.

NOTE 3 – ACQUISITIONS

 

Acquisition of Mimio

 

Effective April 1, 2016, pursuant to a membership interest purchase agreement, the Company acquired 100% of the membership interest in Mimio from Mim Holdings. As consideration, the Company issued a $2,000,000 unsecured convertible promissory note (the “Marlborough Note”) to Marlborough Trust. See Note 12.

 

Additionally, the Company assumed from Mim Holdings a $3,425,000 senior secured note (the “Skyview Note”) that is payable to Skyview Capital, LLC, (“Skyview”), the former equity owner of Mimio and interest accrued on the note. The Skyview Note was issued by Mim Holdings to Skyview on November 4, 2015 as payment for the acquisition of 100% of the membership equity of Mimio. See Note 9.

 

The Company’s financial statements included Mimio’s assets and liabilities at the historical cost of Mim Holdings. Mimio was acquired by Mim Holdings on November 4, 2015. Mim Holdings accounts for acquired businesses using the acquisition method of accounting, which requires, among other things, that most assets acquired and liabilities assumed be recognized at their estimated fair values as of the acquisition date. Transaction costs are expensed as incurred. Any excess of the consideration transferred over the assigned values of the net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill.

 

The following table shows the purchase price, acquisition-date fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed and calculation of goodwill utilizing the information at November 4, 2015 when Mim Holdings acquired Mimio. Subsequently on April 1, 2016, the Company acquired Mimio from Mim Holdings in a transaction between entities under common control. Accordingly, the purchase price allocation reflects the fair value as of the date acquired by Mim Holdings. Upon acquisition by the Company, these amounts were recorded on the historical cost basis of Mim Holdings.

 

Assets acquired:     
Current assets  $6,677,842 
Intangible assets   179,722 
Goodwill   44,931 
Total assets   6,902,495 
Total liabilities   (3,477,495)
      
Net assets acquired  $3,425,000 

 

Acquisition of Genesis

 

On May 12, 2016, Vert Capital contributed 100% of the membership interests in Genesis to the Company. In connection with the Company’s acquisition of Genesis, the former members of Genesis received 1,000,000 shares of the Company’s Series B Preferred Stock which, upon consummation of the Company’s initial public offering, will automatically convert into such number of shares that represents 4.0% of the Company’s fully diluted common stock as defined in the agreement. Upon completion of the Company’s initial public offering, an aggregate of 250,000 shares of the Company’s non-voting convertible Series A preferred stock will be issued to Vert Capital. Such 250,000 shares of the Company’s non-voting convertible Series A preferred stock will automatically convert into 398,406 shares of our Class A common stock on a date which shall be one year from the date of the Company’s initial public offering.

 

Common Control Transactions

 

The acquisitions of Mimio and Genesis were considered as transfers of businesses between entities under common control; and therefore, the assets acquired and liabilities assumed were transferred at historical cost of the ultimate parent, Vert Capital. Because the acquisitions were common control transactions in which the Company acquired businesses, the Company’s historical financial statements have been retrospectively adjusted to reflect the results of operations, financial position, and cash flows of Mimio and Genesis as if the Company owned Mimio and Genesis for all periods presented from the date Mimio, Genesis and the Company were under common control, which was November 4, 2015 and October 31, 2013, respectively.

Acquisition of Boxlight Group

 

On July 18, 2016, the Company acquired 100% of the equity interest of Boxlight Group, under the terms of a Share Purchase Agreement entered into on May 10, 2016 with Everest Display, Inc. (“EDI”). Under the terms of the share purchase agreement, Boxlight Holdings, Inc., a newly formed Delaware subsidiary of Boxlight Corporation acquired the equity of Boxlight Group. The Company issued to EDI 270,000 shares of Series C Preferred Stock, that has a stated or liquidation value of $20.00 per share. Upon completion of Boxlight Corporation’s initial public offering (“IPO”) and subject to the listing of its Class A common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market or other securities exchange acceptable to EDI, the Series C Preferred Stock shall automatically convert into shares of Class A common stock. Such newly converted shares of Class A common stock to be issued to EDI or its subsidiaries represents approximately 22.22% of Boxlight Corporation’s fully-diluted common stock upon the Company’s IPO, excluding shares issued for private placements and debt conversions.

 

Under the terms of the share purchase agreement, as amended on September 28, 2016, the parties agreed that EDI and Boxlight Corporation would settle and pay approximately $5.75 million of accrued accounts payable owed to EDI at September 28, 2016, in the manner set forth below.

 

  (1) $1,000,000 was paid at the closing of the acquisition out of the net proceeds of a note issued to Hitachi Capital America Corp. (See Note 9);
     
  (2) An additional $1,500,000 of the $5.75 million owed to EDI was to be paid by Boxlight Corporation and its subsidiaries in six monthly installments of $250,000 each, commencing 30 days after the initial $1,000,000 payment referred to above. However, in view of the fact that such installment payments cannot be presently made by the Company under the subordination agreement between EDI and Crestmark Bank, we and EDI agreed that the net proceeds from the sale of 1,000,000 shares of Class A common stock upon IPO shall be applied, first, to prepay the $1,460,508 principal balance due under Skyview Note, and secondly to prepay the balance of the $1,500,000 installment obligation owed to EDI referred to above. Net Proceeds included costs for professional fees estimated at approximately $300,000, plus any commissions or underwriting fees that may be payable by the Company to brokers, placement agents or underwriters who assist us in selling the shares of Class A common stock in the offering.
     
  (3) $2,000,000 of the unpaid balance of the account payable was settled with a 4% non-negotiable convertible promissory note of Boxlight Corporation payable to EDI, together with accrued interest, on March 31, 2019 (the “EDI Note”). (See Note 12)

 

The Company recognized the assets acquired and liabilities assumed from Boxlight Group at their fair value on the acquisition date, and the excess in purchase price over these values was allocated to goodwill. The estimated fair values of consideration paid, assets acquired and liabilities assumed were determined based on third-party valuation reports provided by specialists.

 

The following table shows the purchase price, estimated acquisition-date fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed and calculation of goodwill for Boxlight Group utilizing the information at acquisition date.

On April 24, 2017, the agreement was amended to increase the payable to Loeb for services rendered in connection with the Company’s IPO to $900,000. Pursuant to the amended agreement, the Company shall make a cash payment to Loeb of $235,000 and issue 231,152 restricted shares of Class A common stock at the closing of the IPO. Commencing with the first month after the closing of the IPO, the Company shall make six monthly cash payments to Loeb each in the amount of $39,166 no later than the fifth day of each month for a total amount of $235,000. Upon receipt of the entire $235,000, Loeb will return 69,345 shares to the Company. Not later than 12 months after the closing of the IPO, the Company shall pay to Loeb the remaining balance of $430,000. Upon receipt of such final payment, Loeb will return an additional 138,691 shares to the Company. Loeb will continue to beneficially own 23,116 shares of our Class A common stock.

 

NOTE 19 – CUSTOMER AND SUPPLIER CONCENTRATION

 

Significant customers and suppliers are those that account for greater than 10% of the Company’s revenues and purchases.

 

 F-22 

 

 

The Company generated a portion of its revenues from two customers (13% and 10%) for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the amount due from the two customers included in accounts receivable was $1,295,937 and $174,217, respectively. The loss of the significant customers or the failure to attract new customers could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

 

The Company purchased a portion of materials from two vendors (41% and 31%) for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the amounts due to one of the vendors included in accounts payable – related party was $4,143,544 and $3,379,161, respectively. As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company had prepayments to another vendor included in prepaid expenses and other current assets of $724,856 and $228,552, respectively. The Company believes there are numerous other suppliers that could be substituted should the supplier become unavailable or non-competitive.

 

NOTE 20 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 

In October 2017, a supplier filed a lawsuit against the Company for outstanding debt and accrued interest owed by the Company of approximately $838,214. The lawsuit also included a claim for attorney fees of $83,846. The Company has obtained legal counsel and is in the process of negotiating a settlement.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

In addition to historical information, this Form 10-Q may contain forward-looking statements relating to Boxlight Corporation. All statements, trend analyses and other information relative to markets for our products and trends in revenue, gross margins and anticipated expense levels, as well as other statements including words such as “anticipate”, “believe”, “plan”, “estimate”, “expect”, and “intend”, and other similar expressions, constitute forward-looking statements. Prospective investors are cautioned that any such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks and uncertainties including those factors described below under “Factors That May Affect Future Operations”, and that actual results may differ materially from those contemplated by such forward-looking statements. ISC undertakes no obligation to update or revise forward-looking statements to reflect changed assumptions, the occurrence of unanticipated events or changes in future operating results.

 

Overview

 

We are a visual display technology company that is seeking to become a world leading innovator, and integrator of interactive products for schools, as well as for business and government conferencing. We currently design, produce and distribute interactive projectors and distribute interactive LED flat panels in the education market. We also distribute science, technology, engineering and math (or “STEM”) data logging products to the educational market.

 

To date, we have generated substantially all of our revenue from the sale of our software and expanding product line of projectors, LED panels, interactive whiteboards and display devices to the educational market.

 

In addition, we have implemented a comprehensive plan to reach profitability for our business acquisitions. Highlights of this plan include:

 

  Making immediate strides to integrate products of the acquisition companies and cross train our sales reps to increase their offerings. The combination of products and cross training has already resulted in increased sales. The synergy we have found between the products of Boxlight and Mimio are adding opportunities to resellers for both companies to increase their sales.
     
  Proceeds from our public offering will allow us to add additional inventory on hand to fulfill currently existing orders.
     
  Recently hired sales reps with significant education technology sales experience in their respective territories has resulted in our current pipeline reaching a record high level.
     
  We are seeing increased demand in the US market for technology sales and have the products and infrastructure in place to handle our expected growth.

 

Acquisition Strategy and Challenges

 

Our growth strategy includes acquiring assets and technologies of companies that have products, technologies, industry specializations or geographic coverage that extend or complement our existing business. The process to undertake a potential acquisition is time-consuming and costly. We expect to expend significant resources to undertake business, financial and legal due diligence on our potential acquisition targets, and there is no guarantee that we will complete any acquisition that we pursue.

 

We believe we can achieve significant cost-savings by merging the operations of the companies we acquire and after their acquisition leverage the opportunity to reduce costs through the following methods:

 

  Staff reductions – consolidating resources, such as accounting, marketing and human resources.
     
  Economies of scale – improved purchasing power with a greater ability to negotiate prices with suppliers.
     
  Improved market reach and industry visibility – increase in customer base and entry into new markets.

 

As a result, we believe that an analysis of the historical costs and expenses of our Target Sellers prior to acquisition will not provide guidance as to the anticipated results after acquisition. We anticipate that we will be able to achieve significant reductions in our costs of revenue and selling, general and administrative expenses from the levels currently incurred by the Target Sellers operating independently, thereby increasing our EBITDA and cash flows.

Operating Results – Boxlight Corporation (Retrospectively adjusted for the acquisitions of Mimio and Genesis)

 

For the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2017 and 2016

 

Revenues. Total revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 were $20,407,258 as compared to $15,371,130 for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. Revenues consist of product revenues, software revenues, installation and professional development. The increase was mainly due to the inclusion of Boxlight Group’s operating results for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. Boxlight Group was acquired on July 18, 2016, and was only included from July 18 through September 30 in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2016.

 

Cost of Revenues. Cost of revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was $14,595,780 as compared to $9,485,596 for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. Cost of revenues consist primarily of product cost, freight expenses and inventory write-downs. Cost of revenues increased because of the increase in revenues. Gross profit decreased mainly because Boxlight Group’s margin is lower than Mimio’s margin. Sales to Mimio’s customers decreased for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and Mimio’s gross margin for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 was higher than usual. In addition, the Company incurred significantly more freight fees in early 2017 due to the usage of air freight shipments instead of ocean cargo in order to more quickly meet our customer’s needs.

 

General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was $7,049,288 as compared to $4,701,275 for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The increase mainly resulted from the inclusion of Boxlight Group’s operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and additional professional expenses incurred related to the initial public offering.

 

Research and Development Expenses. Research and development expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was $357,955 as compared to $846,621 for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The decrease mainly resulted from lower research and development activity in 2017.

 

Other income (expense), net. Other expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was $309,424 as compared to $680,398 for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The decrease was a result of the reduction in interest expense resulting from the conversion and payoff of debt in the third quarter of 2017.

 

Net loss. Net loss was $1,905,189 and $342,760 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The change was mainly attributable to the decrease in gross profit, primarily due to the increase in freight costs incurred to air freight to our customers, along with the increase in operating expenses from the inclusion of Boxlight Group’s results for the nine months ended September 30, 2017.

 

 4 

 

 

For the three-month periods ended September 30, 2017 and 2016

 

Revenues. Total revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2017 were $10,228,389 as compared to $7,877,595 for the three months ended September 30, 2016. Revenues consist of product revenues, software revenues, installation and professional development. The increase was mainly due to the inclusion of Boxlight Group’s operating results for the three months ended September 30, 2017. Boxlight Group was acquired on July 18, 2016, and was only included from July 18 through September 30 in the three-month period ended September 30, 2016.

 

Cost of Revenues. Cost of revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2017 was $7,327,701 as compared to $5,084,340 for the three months ended September 30, 2016. Cost of revenues consist primarily of product cost, freight expenses and inventory write-downs. Cost of revenues increased because of the increase in revenues. Gross profit decreased mainly because Boxlight Group’s margin is lower than Mimio’s margin. Sales to Mimio’s customers decreased for the three months ended September 30, 2017.

 

General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2017 was $2,295,101 as compared to $2,049,917 for the three months ended September 30, 2016. The increase mainly resulted from the inclusion of Boxlight Group’s operating expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and additional professional expenses incurred related to the initial public offering.

 

 5 

 

 

Research and Development Expenses. Research and development expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2017 was $60,403 as compared to $244,515 for the three months ended September 30, 2016. The decrease mainly resulted from lower research and development activity in 2017.

 

Other income (expense), net. Other expense for the three months ended September 30, 2017 was $74,890 as compared to $601,258 for the three months ended September 30, 2016. For the three months ended September 30, 2016, the Company incurred additional interest expense for the extension of debt. In addition, for the three months ended September 30, 2017, the Company converted certain related parties’ debt into common shares.

 

Net Income and loss. Net income was $470,294 for the three months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to net loss of $102,435 for the three months ended September 30, 2016. The change was mainly attributable to the decrease in interest expense and research and development expenses.

 

Discussion of Effect of Seasonality on Financial Condition

 

Certain accounts on our balance sheets are subject to seasonal fluctuations. As our business and revenues grow, we expect these seasonal trends to be reduced. The bulk of our products are shipped to our educational customers prior to the beginning of the school year, usually in June, July, August and September. To prepare for the upcoming school year, we generally build up inventories during the second quarter of the year. However, this year our inventories have decreased, as we have are either drop shipping products directly to the customer or bringing inventory in and immediately shipping out to customers in order to cover our backorders.

 

We have been very proactive, and will continue to be proactive, in obtaining contracts during the fourth and first quarters that will help offset the seasonality of our business.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

As of September 30, 2017, we had cash and cash equivalents of $783,181 and a working capital deficit of $4,414,859. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, we had net cash provided by (used in) operating activities of ($596,727) and 184,354, respectively. In addition, we had net cash provided by (used in) financing activities of $948,448 and ($706,084), respectively.

 

On August 15, 2017, the Company entered into a 12-month term line of credit agreement with Sallyport Commercial Finance, LLC. As of September 30, 2017, the outstanding principal balance on this facility was $2,324,218.

 

The Company must continue to raise funds and negotiate its debt payment terms, including the AHA Note that is currently in default, to continue to meet its liquidity requirements. Our principal plan to meet our liquidity requirements are to raise up to $7,000,000 in an IPO; with the option of converting up to $1,050,000 of debt into Class A common stock; and use a portion of the IPO proceeds to repay or renegotiate the Company’s debt obligations.

 

We financed our capital expenditures during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 primarily through the Sallyport line of credit, along with delaying payments on accounts payable, conversion of accounts payable to equity and the issuance of note payable to K-Laser.

 

On January 13, 2017, the Company issued a convertible promissory note to K-Laser International Co., Ltd. in the amount of $1,000,000. The note is due on December 31, 2017 and bears interest at an annual rate of 8%, compounded monthly. The note is convertible to the Company’s common stock at $5.60 per share prior to a listing on a public exchange. If converted after a listing on a public exchange, the conversion shares shall be calculated as the average of the 7 days closing price. As of September 30, 2017, outstanding principal and accrued interest for the note were $1,000,000 and $28,055, respectively. The note is secured by all assets of the Company. We used the proceeds for general working capital requirements.

 

In addition to our cash and banking arrangements, we had accounts receivable of $5,168,641 on September 30, 2017. Our accounts receivable provides an additional source of liquidity as cash payments are collected from customers in the normal course of business. Our accounts receivable balance fluctuates throughout the year based on the seasonality of the business.

 

Our other cash requirements consist primarily of day-to-day operating expenses, capital expenditures and contractual obligations with respect to facility leases, capital equipment leases and other operating leases. We lease all of our office facilities. We expect to make future payments on existing leases from cash generated from operations.

 

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles accepted in the United States. In connection with the preparation of our financial statements, we are required to make assumptions and estimates about future events and apply judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, expenses and the related disclosures. We base our assumptions, estimates and judgments on historical experience, current trends and other factors that management believes to be relevant at the time our consolidated financial statements are prepared. On a regular basis, we review the accounting policies, assumptions, estimates and judgments to ensure that our financial statements are presented fairly and in accordance with GAAP. However, because future events and their effects cannot be determined with certainty, actual results could differ from our assumptions and estimates, and such differences could be material.

 

 6 

 

 

Our significant accounting policies are discussed in notes to each set of the financial statements. We believe that the following accounting estimates are the most critical to aid in fully understanding and evaluating our reported financial results, and they require our most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, resulting from the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

Revenue is comprised of product sales and service revenue, net of sales returns, co-operative advertising credits, early payment discounts and volume discount paid to VARs. The Company recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the sales price is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured.

 

Revenue from product sales is derived from the sale of projectors, interactive panels and related accessories. Evidence of an arrangement consists of an order from its distributors, resellers or end users. The Company considers delivery to have occurred once title and risk of loss has been transferred.

 

Service revenue is comprised of product installation services and training services. These service revenues are normally entered into at the time products are sold. Service prices are established depending on product equipment sold and include a cost value for the estimated services to be performed based on historical experience. The Company outsources installation and training services to third parties and recognizes revenue upon completion of the services.

 

The Company’s standard terms and conditions of sale do not allow for product returns and it generally does not allow product returns other than under warranty. However, the Company, on a case by case basis, will grant exceptions, mostly “buyer’s remorse” where the VAR’s end user customer either did not understand what they were ordering, or determined that the product did not meet their needs. An allowance for sales returns is estimated based on an analysis of historical trends.

 

Before Mimio was acquired by the Company, it generally provided 24 to 60 months of warranty coverage on all of its products. Mimio products’ standard warranty period is 24 months, which can be extended to 60 months upon the end user “registering” their device on-line. The Company’s warranty provides for repair or replacement of the associated products during the warranty period. The Company does not record warranty cost upon sale, and instead conducts a periodic review of the warranty liability reserve, and based on historical cost-to-trailing- revenue history, will adjust the warranty liability, with the offset to this adjustment recorded to cost of revenue.

 

After the acquisitions of Mimio, Genesis and Boxlight Group, the Company determined a new warranty policy to provide 12 to 36 months of warranty coverage on projectors, displays, accessories, batteries and computers except when sold through a “Premier Education Partner” or sold to schools where the Company provides a 60 month warranty. The Company does not record warranty costs upon sale, and instead conducts a periodic review of the warranty liability reserve, and based on historical experience, will adjust the warranty liability, with the offset to this adjustment recorded to cost of revenue. The warranty obligation is affected by product failure rates and the related use of materials, labor costs and freight incurred in correcting any product failure. Should actual product failure rates, use of materials, or other costs differ from the Company’s estimates, additional warranty liabilities could be required, which would reduce its gross profit.

 

The Company offers sales incentives where the Company offers discounted products delivered by the Company to its resellers and distributors that are redeemable only if the resellers and distributors complete specified cumulative levels of revenue agreed to and written into their reseller and distributor agreements through an executed addendum. The resellers and distributors have to submit a request for the discounted products and cannot redeem additional discounts within 180 days from the date of the discount given on like products. The value of the award products as compared to the value of the transactions necessary to earn the award is generally insignificant in relation to the value of the transactions necessary to earn the award. The Company estimates and records the cost of the products related to the incentive as marketing expense based on analyses of historical data.

Inventories

 

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value and included spare parts and finished goods. Inventories are primarily determined using specific identification method and the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) cost method. Cost includes direct cost from the CM or OEM, plus material overhead related to the purchase, inbound freight and import duty costs.

 

The Company continuously reviews its inventory levels to identify slow-moving merchandise and markdowns necessary to clear slow-moving merchandise, which reduces the cost of inventories to its estimated net realizable value. Consideration is given to a number of quantitative and qualitative factors, including current pricing levels and the anticipated need for subsequent markdowns, aging of inventories, historical sales trends, and the impact of market trends and economic conditions. Estimates of markdown requirements may differ from actual results due to changes in quantity, quality and mix of products in inventory, as well as changes in consumer preferences, market and economic conditions.

 

Intangible Assets and Impairment

 

Intangible assets are amortized using the straight-line method over their estimated period of benefit. We evaluate the recoverability of intangible assets periodically and take into account events or circumstances that warrant revised estimates of useful lives or that indicate that impairment exists. No material impairments of intangible assets have been identified during any of the periods presented. Intangible assets and goodwill are tested for impairment on an annual basis, and between annual tests if indicators of potential impairment exist, using a fair-value-based approach. Goodwill is not amortized and is not deductible for tax purposes.

 

Long-lived assets to be held and used or disposed of other than by sale are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. When required, impairment losses on assets to be held and used or disposed of other than by sale are recognized based on the fair value of the asset. Long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale are reported at the lower of its carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell.

 

Emerging Growth Company

 

We are an “emerging growth company,” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, or the JOBS Act. Certain specified reduced reporting and other regulatory requirements that are available to public companies that are emerging growth companies.

 

 8 

 

 

These provisions include:

 

  (1) an exemption from the auditor attestation requirement in the assessment of our internal controls over financial reporting required by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002;
     
  (2) an exemption from the adoption of new or revised financial accounting standards until they would apply to private companies;
     
  (3) an exemption from compliance with any new requirements adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, or the PCAOB, requiring mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the auditor’s report in which the auditor would be required to provide additional information about our audit and our financial statements; and
     
  (4) reduced disclosure about our executive compensation arrangements.

 

We have elected to take advantage of the exemption from the adoption of new or revised financial accounting standards until they would apply to private companies. As a result of this election, our financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with public company effective dates.

 

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk

 

Not applicable.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

 

(a) Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures.

 

Under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), the Company conducted an evaluation of its disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined under Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) as of March 31, 2014. Based on this evaluation, its CEO and CFO concluded the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are not effective due to lack of a functioning audit committee, a majority of independent members and a majority of outside directors on our Board of Directors, resulting in ineffective oversight in the establishment, and lack of monitoring of required internal control and procedures.

 

(b) Changes in internal controls over financial reporting.

 

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2017 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

 

Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls.

 

Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no control system can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within a company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of a person, by collusion of two or more people or by management override of the control. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon 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. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and may not be detected. Notwithstanding these limitations, with the changes referenced above, we believe that our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION

 

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

 

On June 1, 2017, a lawsuit was filed against the Company, Mimio LLC, Mim Holdings, VC2 Partners and Vert Capital Corp by Skyview Capital for breach of a $1,460,508 restated note. On September 11, 2017, we paid Skyview the sum of $1,577,653, which included the principal balance of $1,460,508, plus accrued interest of $117,145, due and payable to Skyview. Although we believe that we have paid this obligation in full, Skyview may seek additional costs and penalties as we have not received a release from Skyview in connection with the pending lawsuit.

 

In October 2017, a supplier filed a lawsuit against the Company for outstanding debt and accrued interest owed by the Company of approximately $838,214. The lawsuit also included a claim for attorney fees of $83,846. The Company has obtained legal counsel and is in the process of negotiating a settlement.
