Ventus Holdings, LLC

and Subsidiaries

Norwalk, Connecticut

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Ventus Holdings, LLC and Subsidiaries (the “Company”), which comprise the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2019, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in members’ equity, and cash flows for the year then ended, and the related notes to the consolidated financial statements.

 

Management's Responsibility for the Financial Statements

 

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

 

Auditor's Responsibility

 

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free from material misstatement.

 

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the Company's preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements 

December 31, 2019

 

1.Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Nature of Operations

 

Ventus Holdings, LLC and Subsidiaries (the “Company”) is a provider of customized managed network services for distributed enterprises. The Company's managed network services are utilized for the deployment of all types of networked devices across the financial, office, retail, and hospitality sectors including automated teller machines, point of sale equipment, and automated kiosks. These aggregated services are delivered to our customers as a complete Network-as-a-Service solution which includes network design, network testing, hardware procurement, field services, maintenance, monitoring, reporting, technical support, and electronic billing. The Company also conducts certain business activities under the names Ventus Wireless LLC, Ventus Networks, LLC, Kick Wireless Services LLC, Ventus IP Holdings LLC, Ventus Wireless Services, Inc. Ventus Technologies LLC, Vclipz, and Ventus Wireless CA, Inc.

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Ventus Holdings, LLC’s wholly owned subsidiaries: Ventus Wireless LLC, Ventus Technologies, LLC, Kick Wireless Services, LLC and the related entities; Ventus Networks LLC, Ventus IP Holdings LLC, Ventus Wireless Services, Inc, Ventus Wireless CA, Inc, and VClipz, Inc. All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidation of these subsidiaries.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

Effective January 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) (“ASC 606”), as amended using the modified retrospective method.  Under ASC 606, revenue from contracts with customers is recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to the customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration, and the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services.

 

The Company follows a five-step model to (a) identify the contract with a customer, (b) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (c) determine the transaction price, (d) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, and (e) recognize revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies a performance obligation.  In determining the transaction price, the Company includes variable consideration only to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized would not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is resolved. Upon adoption, there was no impact on how the Company has recognized revenue previously or on opening members’ equity.

 

The Company’s primary source of revenues are (1) the sale of equipment and (2) services rendered related to the equipment. The Company’s customers may return equipment for an exchange or service. However, an allowance is not recorded at the time of sale because the Company believes that returns are minimal based on historical experience.

Ventus Holdings, LLC and Subsidiaries 

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements 

December 31, 2019

 

Service Revenue:

 

Generally, service revenues are billed on the first of the month and are recognized as revenue when the services are rendered, and the revenue recognition criteria have been met. Amounts that have been invoiced are recorded in accounts receivable and deferred revenue or revenue, depending on whether the revenue recognition criteria have been met.

 

Equipment or Product Revenue:

 

In connection with its managed network services, the Company may sell customers proprietary cellular and broadband routers. Such equipment is generally billed upon shipment to the customer.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. There were no cash equivalents at December 31, 2019.

 

Accounts Receivable

 

Accounts receivable are carried at original invoiced amounts less an estimate made for an allowance for doubtful accounts. The allowance for doubtful accounts is determined based on a review of outstanding amounts on a monthly basis. Management determines the allowance for doubtful accounts by regularly evaluating individual customer balances and considering the customer’s financial condition, credit history, and current economic conditions. Accounts receivable are written off when deemed uncollectible. Recoveries of accounts receivable previously written off are recorded as a reduction to bad debt expense when received.

 

Overdue accounts receivable balances accrue finance charges at a rate of 1.5% per month. The Company considers all accounts receivable balances to be fully collectible as of December 31, 2019, and therefore no allowance for doubtful accounts was considered necessary.

 

Inventories

 

Inventory consists primarily of assembled network routers and spare parts which are valued at lower of cost or market, with cost being determined by the weighted-average cost method.

 

Property and Equipment, Net

 

Property and equipment are carried at historical cost, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation of property and equipment is recorded using the straight-line method based on the following estimated useful lives:

 

  Years 
Network routers 7–10
Furniture and fixtures 5–7
Computer equipment 5
Vehicles 3-5

Ventus Holdings, LLC and Subsidiaries 

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements 

December 31, 2019

 

Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the lease term or the estimated useful life of the asset. Expenditures for major renewals and betterments that extend the useful lives of property and equipment are capitalized. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred.

 

Capitalized Software and Development Costs, Net

 

Costs incurred during the application development phase of internally developed software are capitalized only when the Company believes it is probable the development will result in new or additional functionality. Capitalized internally developed software is amortized on a straight-line basis over its estimated life of 3 to 5 years once it is placed into service. Capitalized costs during the application development phase may include employee compensation and third-party consulting and related development costs. Costs related to the preliminary project phase and post-implementation activities are expensed as incurred.

 

Long-Lived Assets and Impairment Assessment

 

The Company evaluates long-lived assets for possible impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. This includes but is not limited to significant adverse changes in business climate, market conditions, or other events that indicate an asset's carrying amount may not be recoverable. If such review indicates that the carrying amount of long-lived assets are not recoverable, the carrying amount of such assets is reduced to its estimated fair value.

 

Research and Development

 

Research and development expenditures which are expensed as incurred, were $130,956 for the year ended December 31, 2019.

 

Advertising Costs

 

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred, and are included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statement of operations. Advertising expenses for the year ended December 31, 2019 were $70,323.

 

Shipping and Handling Costs

 

Shipping and handling costs are included in cost of goods and services.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company is treated as a partnership for federal income tax purposes. Accordingly, federal income taxes are not payable, or provided for, by the Company. Members are taxed individually on their shares of the Company's earnings. The Company's net income or loss is allocated among the members in accordance with the Company's operating agreement. Accordingly, the financial statements do not reflect a provision for income taxes. The Company's income tax returns for 2017, 2018 and 2019 are subject to audit by the taxing authorities.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements 

December 31, 2019

 

Management has evaluated the Company’s tax positions and concluded that the Company has taken no uncertain tax positions that require adjustment to or disclosures in the financial statements.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

In April 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2015-05, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Fees Paid in a Cloud Computing Arrangement, to help entities evaluate the accounting for fees paid by a customer in a cloud computing arrangement (hosting arrangement) by providing guidance for determining when the arrangement includes a software license. The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2020, and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2021 and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the updates to the standard will have on its financial statements upon adoption.

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (ASU 2016-02), which requires lessees to include most operating leases on the balance sheet. ASU 2016-02, as amended by ASU 2020-05 is effective for fiscal years (and interim reporting periods within those years) beginning after December 15, 2021 and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the standard will have on its financial statements upon adoption.

 

Events Occurring After Reporting Date

 

The Company has evaluated events and transactions occurring between December 31, 2019 and February 2, 2021, which is the date the consolidated financial statements were available to be issued, for possible disclosure and recognition in the consolidated financial statements.

 

On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared a pandemic related to the rapidly spreading coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak, which has led to a global health emergency. The public-health impact of the outbreak is currently unknown and rapidly evolving, and the related health crisis could adversely affect the global economy resulting in an economic downturn. Accordingly, there is no assurance that the outbreak will not have a material adverse impact on the future results of the Company.

The Company maintains cash in bank accounts which may, at times, exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes there is little or no exposure to any significant credit risk.

 

Trade accounts receivable are due primarily from financial institutions and other owners of automated teller machines. The Company does not require collateral from its customers but may suspend service if a default in payment occurs. As of December 31, 2019, accounts receivable from two customers represented approximately 64% of total accounts receivables. These two customers also accounted for approximately 33% of the total revenues in 2019.

 

Supply Risk

 

The Company's business depends on the availability, capacity, affordability, reliability and security of third-party cellular network service providers. Only a small number of major cellular providers in the United States offer the cellular network services the Company requires. The majority of the Company’s network services are currently purchased from a limited number of major national network service providers. Although management believes that alternate network providers could be found in a timely manner, any disruption of these services could have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

Outside Networking Devices (Note 3)

 

The Company’s products are concentrated in the networking and smart connected industries, which are characterized by rapid technological advances, changes in customer requirements and evolving regulatory requirements and industry standards. The success of the Company depends on management’s ability to anticipate and/or respond quickly and adequately to such changes. Any significant disruption in the functioning of the Company’s products could have a material adverse effect on its business and operating results. As of December 31, 2019, approximately 80% of the Company's networking routers (included in property and equipment) are in service at multiple locations owned by two of its customers.

 

11.Subsequent Events

 

On May 4, 2020, the Company obtained a Business Loan (the “PPP Loan 1”) in the amount of $1,688,979 at an interest rate of 1% from its financial institution under the CARES Act which was passed by Congress and signed into law on March 27, 2020. The Paycheck Protection Program established by the CARES Act, was designed to provide direct incentive for small businesses to keep their employees on the payroll. Principal and interest on the PPP Loan 1 is due in equal monthly payments commencing on the first payment date, which is after November 4, 2020, and continuing on the same day of each month thereafter until the maturity date. PPP Loan 1 matures on May 4, 2022. If the Company meets certain conditions, the PPP Loan 1 may ultimately be forgiven in whole or in part.

 

On April 30, 2020, the Company obtained a Business Loan (the “PPP Loan 2”) in the amount of $155,189 at an interest rate of 1% from its financial institution under the CARES Act. Principal and interest on the PPP Loan 2 is due in equal monthly payments commencing on the first payment date, which is after October 30, 2020, and continuing on the same day of each month thereafter until the maturity date. The Loan matures on April 30, 2022. If the Company meets certain conditions, the PPP Loan 2 may ultimately be forgiven in whole or in part.

Management's Responsibility for the Financial Statements

 

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the Company's preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

December 31, 2020

 

1.Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Nature of Operations

 

Ventus Holdings, LLC and Subsidiaries (the “Company”) is a provider of customized managed network services for distributed enterprises. The Company's managed network services are utilized for the deployment of all types of networked devices across the financial, office, retail, and hospitality sectors including automated teller machines, point of sale equipment, and automated kiosks. These aggregated services are delivered to our customers as a complete Network-as-a-Service solution which includes network design, network testing, hardware procurement, field services, maintenance, monitoring, reporting, technical support, and electronic billing. The Company also conducts certain business activities under the names Ventus Wireless LLC, Ventus Networks, LLC, Kick Wireless Services, LLC, Ventus IP Holdings, LLC, Ventus Wireless Services, Inc. Ventus Technologies, LLC, Vclipz Inc., Ventus Wireless CA, Inc., and Ventus Global Communications, LLC.

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Ventus Holdings, LLC’s wholly owned subsidiaries: Ventus Wireless, LLC, Ventus Technologies, LLC, Kick Wireless Services, LLC, Ventus Global Communications, LLC, and the related entities; Ventus Networks, LLC, Ventus IP Holdings, LLC, Ventus Wireless Services, Inc, Ventus Wireless CA, Inc, and VClipz, Inc. All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidation of these subsidiaries.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606 Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC Topic 606”), as amended. ASC Topic 606 requires the Company to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange from those goods or services. The Company follows a five-step model to (a) identify the contract with a customer, (b) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (c) determine the transaction price, (d) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, and (e) recognize revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies a performance obligation.  In determining the transaction price, the Company includes variable consideration only to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized would not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is resolved.

 

The Company’s primary sources of revenues are (1) monthly managed-service revenues, and (2) sale of equipment. However, an allowance is not recorded at the time of sale because the Company believes that returns are minimal based on historical experience.

 

Managed-Service Revenue:

 

Generally, service revenues are billed on the first of the month and are recognized as revenue when the services are rendered, and the revenue recognition criteria have been met. Amounts that have been invoiced are recorded in accounts receivable and deferred revenue or revenue, depending on whether the revenue recognition criteria have been met.

Ventus Holdings, LLC and Subsidiaries

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

December 31, 2020

 

Equipment or Product Revenue:

 

In connection with its managed network services, the Company may sell customers proprietary cellular and broadband routers. Such equipment is generally billed and recognized as revenue upon shipment to the customers.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. There were no cash equivalents at December 31, 2020.

 

Accounts Receivable

 

Accounts receivable are carried at original invoiced amounts less an estimate made for an allowance for doubtful accounts. The allowance for doubtful accounts is determined based on a review of outstanding amounts monthly. Management determines the allowance for doubtful accounts by regularly evaluating individual customer balances and considering the customer’s financial condition, credit history, and current economic conditions. Accounts receivable are written off when deemed uncollectible. Recoveries of accounts receivable previously written off are recorded as a reduction to bad debt expense when received.

 

The Company considers all accounts receivable balances to be fully collectible as of December 31, 2020, and therefore no allowance for doubtful accounts was considered necessary.

 

Inventories

 

Inventory consists primarily of assembled network routers and spare parts which are valued at lower of cost or market, with cost being determined by the weighted-average cost method.

 

Property and Equipment, Net

 

Property and equipment are carried at historical cost, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation of property and equipment is recorded using the straight-line method based on the following estimated useful lives:

 

Years
Network routers 7–10
Furniture and fixtures 5–7
Computer equipment 5
Vehicles 3-5

 

Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the lease term or the estimated useful life of the asset. Expenditures for major renewals and betterments that extend the useful lives of property and equipment are capitalized. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred.

Ventus Holdings, LLC and Subsidiaries

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Capitalized Software and Development Costs, Net

 

Costs incurred during the application development phase of internally developed software are capitalized only when the Company believes it is probable the development will result in new or additional functionality. Capitalized internally developed software is amortized on a straight-line basis over its estimated life of 3 to 5 years once it is placed into service. Capitalized costs during the application development phase may include employee compensation and third-party consulting and related development costs. Costs related to the preliminary project phase and post-implementation activities are expensed as incurred.

 

Long- Lived Assets and Impairment Assessment

 

The Company evaluates long-lived assets for possible impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. This includes but is not limited to significant adverse changes in business climate, market conditions, or other events that indicate an asset's carrying amount may not be recoverable. If such review indicates that the carrying amount of long-lived assets are not recoverable, the carrying amount of such assets is reduced to its estimated fair value.

 

Research and Development

 

Research and development expenditures which are expensed as incurred, were $268,488 for the year ended December 31, 2020.

 

Advertising Costs

 

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising expenses for the year ended December 31, 2020 were $74,313.

 

Shipping and Handling Costs

 

Shipping and handling costs are included in cost of goods and services.

 

Income Taxes

 

As a limited liability company, the Company has elected to be taxed as a partnership. As such, income passes through to the Members and the Company has no liability for federal and state income taxes except for Connecticut income taxes.

 

Management has evaluated all significant tax positions as required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America. Management is of the opinion that the Company has not taken any material tax positions that would require the recording of any or an additional tax liability by the Company or for the Members of the Company, nor is Management of the opinion that there are any unrealized tax benefits that would either require recognition or disclosure. If required, it is the Company's policy to recognize any estimated interest and penalties in the provision for taxes. The Company’s 2018 through 2020 tax returns are subject to examination by federal, state and local tax authorities.

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (ASU 2016-02). ASU 2016-02 requires all leases with terms greater than 12 months to be recognized on the balance sheet through a right-of-use asset and a lease liability and the disclosure of key information pertaining to leasing arrangements. ASU 2016-02 will be effective for years beginning after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the standard will have on its financial statements and related disclosures upon adoption.

 

In April 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2015-05, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Fees Paid in a Cloud Computing Arrangement, to help entities evaluate the accounting for fees paid by a customer in a cloud computing arrangement (hosting arrangement) by providing guidance for determining when the arrangement includes a software license. The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2020, and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2021 and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the updates to the standard will have on its financial statements upon adoption.

 

Events Occurring After Reporting Date

 

The Company has evaluated events and transactions occurring between December 31, 2020 and August 2, 2021, which is the date the consolidated financial statements were available to be issued, for possible disclosure and recognition in the consolidated financial statements.

9.Concentration of Risk

 

Credit Risk

 

The Company maintains cash in bank accounts which may, at times, exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes there is little or no exposure to any significant credit risk.

 

Trade accounts receivable are due primarily from financial institutions and other owners of automated teller machines. The Company does not require collateral from its customers but may suspend service if a default in payment occurs. As of December 31, 2020, accounts receivable from two customers represented approximately 54% of total accounts receivables. These two customers also accounted for approximately 32% of the total revenues in 2020.

 

Supply Risk

 

The Company's business depends on the availability, capacity, affordability, reliability, and security of third-party cellular network service providers. Only a small number of major cellular providers in the United States offer the cellular network services the Company requires. The majority of the Company’s network services are currently purchased from a limited number of major national network service providers. Although management believes that alternate network providers could be found in a timely manner, any disruption of these services could have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

 

Outside Networking Devices (Note 3)

 

The Company’s products are concentrated in the financial and networking industry, which are impacted by rapid technological advances, changes in customer requirements and evolving regulatory requirements and industry standards. The success of the Company depends on management’s ability to anticipate and/or respond quickly and adequately to such changes. Any significant disruption in the functioning of the Company’s products could have a material adverse effect on its business and operating results. As of December 31, 2020, approximately 80% of the Company's networking routers (included in property and equipment) are in service at multiple locations owned by two of its customers.

 

10.Risk and Uncertainties

 

On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a global pandemic. As of the date of our audit report, the COVID-19 pandemic continues to persist domestically and globally. Accordingly, there is no assurance that the continued effect of the COVID-19 pandemic will not have a material adverse impact on the future results of the Company.

The Paycheck Protection Program established by the CARES Act, was designed to provide direct incentive for small businesses to keep their employees on the payroll. Principal and interest on the PPP Loan 2 is due in equal monthly payments commencing on the first payment date, which is after November 4, 2020, and continuing the same day of each month thereafter until the maturity date. PPP Loan 2 matures on May 4, 2022. If the Company meets certain conditions, the PPP Loan 2 may ultimately be forgiven in whole or in part. As of December 31, 2020, the full amount of the PPP Loan 2 is included in current liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet. The Company is currently in the process of applying for forgiveness of the PPP Loan 2.

 

On April 30, 2020, the Company obtained a Business Loan (the “PPP Loan 1”) in the amount of $155,189 at an interest rate of 1% from its financial institution under the CARES Act. Principal and interest on the PPP Loan 1 is due in equal monthly payments commencing on the first payment date, which is after October 30, 2020, and continuing the same day of each month thereafter until the maturity date. The Loan matures on April 30, 2022. If the Company meets certain conditions, the PPP Loan 1 may ultimately be forgiven in whole or in part. As of December 31, 2020, the full amount of the PPP Loan 1 is included in current liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet. The Company is currently in the process of applying for forgiveness of the PPP Loan 1.

 

12.Subsequent Events

 

On January 14, 2021, the Company entered into a Settlement Agreement and Mutual Release (the “Settlement Agreement”) with Larsen and Toubro Infotech Limited (herein “LTI”), an Indian Corporation, and LTI Infotech Financial Services Technologies, Inc. (herein “LTI”), a Canadian corporations and their respective affiliated companies, related to information technology services, including developing an application known as the Ventus Cloud Management System (“VCM”) that the Company had engaged LTI to perform in 2014. On February 12, 2021, the Company received $425,000 under the terms of the Settlement Agreement. This amount is the full and final settlement of all claims which were or could have been, asserted against LTI by the Company, whether alleged in the litigation or not.

Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
June 30, 2021

 

1.Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Nature of Operations

 

Ventus Holdings, LLC and Subsidiaries (the "Company") is a provider of customized managed network services for distributed enterprises. The Company's managed network services are utilized for the deployment of all types of networked devices across the financial, office, retail, and hospitality sectors including automated teller machines, point of sale equipment, and automated kiosks. These aggregated services are delivered to our customers as a complete Network-as-a-Service solution which includes network design, network testing, hardware procurement, field services, maintenance, monitoring, reporting, technical support, and electronic billing. The Company also conducts certain business activities under the names Ventus Wireless LLC, Ventus Networks, LLC, Kick Wireless Services, LLC, Ventus IP Holdings, LLC, Ventus Wireless Services, Inc. Ventus Technologies, LLC, VClipz Inc., Ventus Wireless CA, Inc., and Ventus Global Communications, LLC.

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Ventus Holdings, LLC's wholly owned subsidiaries: Ventus Wireless, LLC, Ventus Technologies, LLC, Kick Wireless Services, LLC, Ventus Global Communications, LLC, and the related entities; Ventus Networks, LLC, Ventus IP Holdings, LLC, Ventus Wireless Services, Inc, Ventus Wireless CA, Inc, and VClipz, Inc. All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidation of these subsidiaries.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standard Codification ("ASC") Topic 606 Revenue from Contracts with Customers ("ASC Topic 606"}, as amended. ASC Topic 606 requires the Company to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The Company follows a five-step model to (a) identify the contract with a customer, (b) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (c) determine the transaction price, (d) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, and (e) recognize revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies a performance obligation. In determining the transaction price, the Company includes variable consideration only to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized would not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is resolved.

 

The Company's primary sources of revenues are (1) monthly managed-service revenues, and (2) sales of equipment.

 

Managed-Service Revenue:

 

Generally, service revenues are billed on the first of the month and are recognized as revenue when the services are rendered, and the revenue recognition criteria have been met. Amounts that have been invoiced are recorded in accounts receivable and deferred revenue or revenue, depending on whether the revenue recognition criteria have been met.

 

Equipment or Product Revenue:

 

In connection with its managed network services, the Company may sell customers proprietary cellular and broadband routers. Such equipment is generally billed and recognized as revenue upon shipment to the customers.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. There were no cash equivalents as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020.

 

Accounts Receivable

 

Accounts receivable are carried at original invoiced amounts less an estimate made for an allowance for doubtful accounts. The allowance for doubtful accounts is determined based on a review of outstanding amounts monthly. Management determines the allowance for doubtful accounts by regularly evaluating individual customer balances and considering the customer's financial condition, credit history, and current economic conditions. Accounts receivable are written off when deemed uncollectible. Recoveries of accounts receivable previously written off are recorded as a reduction to bad debt expense when received.

 

The Company considers all accounts receivable balances to be fully collectible as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, and therefore no allowance for doubtful accounts was considered necessary.

 

Inventories

 

Inventory consists primarily of assembled network routers and spare parts which are valued at lower of cost or market, with cost being determined by the weighted-average cost method.

 

Property and Equipment Net

 

Property and equipment are carried at historical cost, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation of property and equipment is recorded using the straight-line method based on the following estimated useful lives:

 

   Years 
Network routers   7-10 
Furniture and Fixtures   5-7 
Computer equipment   5 
Vehicles   3-5 

 

Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the lease term or the estimated useful life of the asset. Expenditures for major renewals and betterments that extend the useful lives of property and equipment are capitalized. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred.

 

Capitalized Software and Development Costs, Net

 

Costs incurred during the application development phase of internally developed software are capitalized only when the Company believes it is probable the development will result in new or additional functionality. Capitalized internally developed software is amortized on a straight-line basis over its estimated life of 3 to 5 years once it is placed into service. Capitalized costs during the application development phase may include employee compensation and third-party consulting and related development costs. Costs related to the preliminary project phase and post-implementation activities are expensed as incurred.

 

Long-Lived Assets and Impairment Assessment

 

The Company evaluates long-lived assets for possible impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. This includes but is not limited to significant adverse changes in business climate, market conditions, or other events that indicate an asset's carrying amount may not be recoverable. If such review indicates that the carrying amount of long-lived assets are not recoverable, the carrying amount of such assets is reduced to its estimated fair value.

Research and Development

 

Research and development expenditures which are expensed as incurred, were $72,854 and $169,542 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

 

Advertising Costs

 

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising expenses for the six-month period ended June 30, 2021 and June 30, 2020 were $31,902 and $31,208, respectively.

 

Shipping and Handling Costs

 

Shipping and handling costs are included in cost of goods and services.

 

Income Taxes

 

As a limited liability company, the Company has elected to be taxed as a partnership. As such, income passes through to the Members and the Company has no liability for federal and state income taxes except for Connecticut income taxes.

 

Management has evaluated all significant tax positions as required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America. Management is of the opinion that the Company has not taken any material tax positions that would require the recording of any or an additional tax liability by the Company, nor is Management of the opinion that there are any unrealized tax benefits that would either require recognition or disclosure. If required, it is the Company's policy to recognize any estimated interest and penalties in the provision for taxes. The Company's 2018 through 2020 tax returns are subject to examination by federal, state and local tax authorities.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting ("GAAP") requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (ASU 2016-02). ASU 2016-02 requires all leases with terms greater than 12 months to be recognized on the balance sheet through a right-of- use asset and a lease liability and the disclosure of key information pertaining to leasing arrangements. ASU 2016-02 will be effective for years beginning after December 15, 2020 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the standard will have on its financial statements and related disclosures upon adoption.

 

In April 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2015-05, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other-Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Fees Paid in a Cloud Computing Arrangement, to help entities evaluate the accounting for fees paid by a customer in a cloud computing arrangement (hosting arrangement) by providing guidance for determining when the arrangement includes a software license. The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2020, and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2021 and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the updates to the standard will have on its financial statements upon adoption.

8.Concentration of Risk

 

Credit Risk

 

The Company maintains cash in bank accounts which may, at times, exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes there is little or no exposure to any significant credit risk.

 

Trade accounts receivable are due primarily from financial institutions and other owners of automated teller machines. The Company does not require collateral from its customers but may suspend service if a default in payment occurs. As of June 30, 2021, and December 31, 2020, accounts receivable from two customers represented approximately 58% and 54% of total accounts receivables, respectively. These two customers also accounted for approximately 13% and 37% of the total revenues in for the six-month ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

 

Supply Risk

 

The Company's business depends on the availability, capacity, affordability, reliability, and security of third-party cellular network service providers. Only a small number of major cellular providers in the United States offer the cellular network services the Company requires. The majority of the Company's network services are currently purchased from a limited number of major national network service providers. Although management believes that alternate network providers could be found in a timely manner, any disruption of these services could have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

 

Outside Networking Devices (Note 3)

 

The Company's products are concentrated in the financial and networking industry, which are impacted by rapid technological advances, changes in customer requirements and evolving regulatory requirements and industry standards. The success of the Company depends on management's ability to anticipate and/or respond quickly and adequately to such changes. Any significant disruption in the functioning of the Company's products could have a material adverse effect on its business and operating results. As of June 30, approximately 80% of the Company's networking routers (included in property and equipment) are in service at multiple locations owned by two of its customers.
