NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
1. | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies. |
|
|
| Description of Business. Insignia Systems, Inc. (the “Company”) is a leading provider of in-store and digital advertising solutions to consumer-packaged goods (“CPG”) manufacturers, retailers, shopper marketing agencies and brokerages. The Company operates in a single reportable segment. The Company’s leadership and employees have extensive industry knowledge with direct experience in both CPG manufacturers and retailers. The Company provides marketing solutions to CPG manufacturers spanning from some of the largest multinationals to new and emerging brands.
Reverse Stock Split. Effective December 31, 2020, the Company implemented a seven-for-one reverse stock split. All share and per-share information, including for stock options and restricted stock units, in the financial statements gives retroactive effect to the reverse stock split for all periods presented including the value of Common Stock and Additional Paid-In Capital as of December 31, 2020.
Sale of Custom Print Business. In August 2020, the Company sold its custom print business to an existing strategic partner. This divestiture allowed the Company to focus on its core business, selling product solutions to CPGs. The custom print business was not material to operations as a whole and did not represent a strategic shift and therefore is not presented as a discontinued operation. The sale price was $
Basis of Presentation. The accompanying unaudited financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information. They do not include all information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. However, except as described herein, there has been no material change in the information disclosed in the notes to financial statements included in the Company’s financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2020 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K/A. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Results of operations for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

Stock-Based Compensation. The Company measures and recognizes compensation expense for all stock-based payments at fair value. Restricted stock units and awards are valued at the closing market price of the Company’s stock as of the date of the grant. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine the weighted average fair value of options and employee stock purchase plan rights. The determination of the fair value of share-based payment awards on the date of grant using an option-pricing model is affected by the Company’s stock price as well as by assumptions regarding a number of complex and subjective variables. These variables include, but are not limited to, the expected stock price volatility over the term of the awards, and actual and projected employee stock option exercise behaviors.
During the six-month periods ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 no equity awards were issued by the Company, except those awarded to non-employee members of the Board of Directors.
In June 2021, non-employee members of the Board of Directors received restricted stock grants totaling

Net Loss per Share. Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average shares outstanding and excludes any potential dilutive effects of stock options and restricted stock units and awards. Diluted net loss per share gives effect to all diluted potential common shares outstanding during the period.
Due to the net loss incurred during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 all outstanding stock options were anti-dilutive for those periods.
Weighted average common shares outstanding for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 were as follows: |

2. | Restatement of Previously Issued Financial Statements. The financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 have been restated to reflect the correction of misstatements. The Company also restated all amounts impacted within the notes to the financial statements. A description of the adjustments and their impact on the previously issued financial statements are included below.
Description of Restatement Adjustments. Commencing in the second quarter of 2021, the Company conducted a review of its sales tax positions, and related accounting, with the assistance of outside consultants. As a result of the review, it was determined that certain non-POPs services/products sales were subject to sales tax and that the Company had not assessed sales tax on sales of those services/products to customers. Company management then undertook a process to obtain documentation from significant customers to determine if each was exempt from sales tax assessments during the applicable periods. Based on responses received from these customers, the Company determined that it did not properly accrue sales tax and accrued the estimated sales tax. The misstatements in the previously issued financial statements are considered material and are described below.
As described in additional detail in the Explanatory Note in our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company restated its audited financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, and its unaudited financial statements for the quarterly periods ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, June 30, 2020 and 2019, and September 30, 2020 and 2019. The Company also filed a Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q/A for the three months ended March 31, 2021 to restate its unaudited financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020. As a result of the misstatements, the Company restated our interim financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020. |

| The categories of restatement adjustments and their impact on previously reported financial statements are described below: | |
|
|
|
| (a) | Sales Tax and Related Misstatements – Sales tax on sales to customers who were subject to sales tax that was not previously accrued by the Company is corrected by an increase to accrued liabilities on the balance sheets and a reduction of net sales on the statements of operations. The Company also determined on which past sales the Company would bill for sales tax and corrected by increasing accounts receivable, net of an allowance for doubtful collectability, on the balance sheets and increasing net sales on the statements of operations. Estimated penalties on the related sales tax are corrected by an increase to accrued liabilities on the balance sheets and an increase to general and administrative expenses on the statements of operations. Estimated interest on the related sales tax is corrected by an increase to accrued liabilities on the balance sheets and an increase to interest expense within other income on the statement of operations. |
|
|
|
| (b) | Related Income Tax Impact - Any impact on income tax benefit from the impact on loss before taxes due to the correction in (a) above is reflected as a change in deferred tax asset or liability on the balance sheet and a change in income tax benefit on the statements of operations. |

| The Company did not present tables for adjustments within the statement of cash flows, since all of the foregoing adjustments were within the operating activities section of the cash flows. These adjustments did not affect total cash flows from operating activities, financing activities or investing activities for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2020. |
3. | Revenue Recognition. Under Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09 Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“Topic 606”), revenue is measured based on consideration specified in the contract with a customer, adjusted for any applicable estimates of variable consideration and other factors affecting the transaction price, including noncash consideration, consideration paid or payable to a customer and significant financing components. Revenue from all customers is recognized when a performance obligation is satisfied by transferring control of a distinct good or service to a customer, as further described below under “Performance Obligations.” |
|
|
| Taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities are excluded from revenue on the net basis of accounting. |
|
|
| The Company includes shipping and handling fees in revenues. Shipping and handling costs associated with outbound freight after control over a product has transferred to a customer are accounted for as a fulfillment cost and are included in cost of goods sold. |
|
|
| Performance Obligations |
|
|
| A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to the customer and is the unit of account under Topic 606. A contract’s transaction price is allocated to each distinct performance obligation and recognized as revenue when, or as, the performance obligation is satisfied. The following is a description of the Company’s performance obligations included in its primary revenue streams and the timing or method of revenue recognition for each: |
|
|
| In-Store Signage Solution Services. The Company provides a service of displaying promotional signs in close proximity to the CPG manufacturer’s product in participating stores, which the Company maintains in two-to-four-week cycle increments. |
|
|
| Each of the individual activities under the Company’s services, including production activities, are inputs to an integrated sign display service. Customers receive and consume the benefits from the promotional displays over the duration of the contracted display cycle. Additionally, the display of the signs does not have an alternative use to the Company and the Company has an enforceable right to payment for services performed to date. As a result, the Company recognizes the transaction price for service performance obligations as revenue over time. Given the nature of the Company’s performance obligations is to provide a display service over the duration of a specified period or periods, the Company recognizes revenue on a straight-line basis over the display service period as it best reflects the timing of transfer of its sign solutions. |
|
|
| Non-POPS Solutions. The Company also supplies CPG manufacturers with other retailer approved promotional services, such as signage, on-pack, merchandising and digital solutions. These services are more customized than POPS, consisting of variable durations and variable specifications. Due to the variable nature of these services, revenue recognition is a mix of over-time and point-in-time recognition. |
10 |
Table of contents |
| Products. Prior to the August 2020 sale of the Company’s custom print business, the Company also sold custom print solutions directly to its customers. Each such product was a distinct performance obligation. Revenue was recognized at a point-in-time upon shipment when control of the goods transferred to the customer. |

| Contract Costs |
|
|
| Sales commissions that are paid to internal or external sales representatives are eligible for capitalization as they are incremental costs that would not have been incurred without entering into a specific sales arrangement and are recoverable through the expected margin on the transaction. The Company is applying the practical expedient in Accounting Standards Codification 340-40-25-4 that allows the incremental costs of obtaining a contract to be recorded as an expense when incurred when the amortization period of the asset that would have otherwise been recognized is one year or less. These costs are included in selling expenses. |

This practical expedient is being applied to arrangements for certain incomplete services and unshipped custom signage materials. Among our contracts with an expected duration of greater than one year, we anticipate that revenue of $ |

|
| Deferred income taxes are determined based on the estimated future tax effects of differences between the financial statements and tax basis of assets and liabilities given the provisions of enacted tax laws. In providing for deferred taxes, the Company considers tax regulations of the jurisdictions in which it operates, estimates of future taxable income and available tax planning strategies. If tax regulations, operating results or the ability to implement tax-planning strategies vary, adjustment to the carrying value of deferred tax assets and liabilities may be required. Valuation allowances are recorded related to deferred tax assets based on the “more likely than not” criteria. At June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company had a valuation allowance of approximately $ |

7. | Legal Proceedings. In July 2019, the Company brought suit against News America in the U.S. District Court in Minnesota, alleging violations of federal and state antitrust and tort laws by News America. The complaint alleges that News America has monopolized the national market for third-party in-store advertising and promotion products and services through various wrongful acts designed to harm the Company, its last significant competitor. The suit seeks, among other relief, an injunction sufficient to prevent further antitrust injury and an award of treble damages to be determined at trial for the harm caused to our Company. |
|
|
| In August 2019, News America filed an answer and counterclaim. In October 2019, News America moved for a judgment on the pleadings. Management believes that the counterclaim is without merit, and the Company filed a response brief on November 11, 2019. The Company also moved to dismiss the counterclaim against it. The court heard oral arguments from both parties on January 14, 2020, and subsequently denied both motions. On July 10, 2020 the parties cross-moved for summary judgment on the counterclaim. On December 7, 2020, the Court granted News America’s motion for summary judgment on the counterclaim in part, requiring Insignia to strike certain allegations from its complaint and finding News America’s request for attorneys’ fees and costs premature. |

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Company’s financial statements and related notes. This discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated due to various factors discussed under “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” and elsewhere, including Part II, Item 1A, in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the “Risk Factors” described in Part I, Item 1A, of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020, our Current Reports on Form 8-K and our other SEC filings.
Restatement
The accompanying Management’s Discussion and Analysis (“MD&A”) gives effect to certain adjustments made to the previously reported financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020. Refer to Note 2, “Restatement of Financial Statements” in the accompanying financial statements for further details related to the restatement and impact on our financial statements.
Company Overview
Insignia Systems, Inc. (“Insignia,” “we,” “us,” “our” and the “Company”) is a leading provider of in-store and digital advertising solutions to consumer-packaged goods (“CPG”) manufacturers, retailers, shopper marketing agencies and brokerages (“clients”). We believe our products and services are attractive to our clients because of our speed to market, ability to customize our solutions down to store level and the results our solutions deliver. Our leadership and employees have extensive industry knowledge, including direct experience through former positions at CPG manufacturers and retailers. We provide marketing solutions to CPG manufacturers spanning from some of the largest multinationals to new and emerging brands.
For retailers and CPG manufacturers working in an environment that is tighter, more competitive, and more complex every day, Insignia positions itself as the shopper marketing ally that combines best-in-class execution with imagination, responsiveness, and hunger to help move business forward. We focus on relationships with our clients and installation and print production vendors (“execution partners”) as we believe they are our future. These relationships are built with our brand-led, retailer centric mindset, our ability to be nimble and flexible to the ever-changing industry landscape and by delivering superior customer service that our clients deserve. Our in-store solutions execute in retailers spanning from some of the largest national retailers to regional US wholesalers and independents who are leaders in their respective channels and geographies.
We have faced increasingly intense competition for the marketing expenditures of CPG manufacturers for in-store signage. We have observed increased competition in growing and maintaining our network of retailers into which we are authorized to sell solutions as competitors continue to purchase new or extend exclusive arrangements with retailers for that purpose. New product investments by large and emerging CPG manufacturers give us optimism that our product portfolio is relevant to our clients.
Over the past several years, we have diversified our portfolio through a significant expansion of our offered solutions and development of a portfolio designed to more holistically meet the needs of our clients and execution partners. This diversification has resulted in non-POPS solutions revenue growing 182% and 137% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively. Our non-POPS revenue has grown year over year since we began the expansion of our offered solutions in 2017. We remain committed to further refining and enhancing our solutions and broadening our retailer relationships.
Impacts and Potential Future Impacts of COVID-19 on Our Business
Evaluating the second quarter of 2021 is challenging given the dramatic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company in the six months ended June 30, 2020. In the second quarter of 2020, the pandemic substantially reduced our sales due to the deferral and/or cancelation of a large number of programs that were originally slated for execution in the second quarter of 2020. In contrast to much of the preceding 12 to 15 months, we are currently seeing a limited direct impact on our business related to the pandemic. However, while we have continued to operate and maintain our continuity with our clients by working remotely, the retail landscape in which CPG manufacturers and retailers operate has changed substantially, as has our ability to execute programs due to both limited access to our retailers and reduced levels of staffing with our execution partners. Our future bookings may be negatively impacted due to these ongoing changes in the retail landscape and evolution of shoppers’ behavior in response to COVID-19. The permanence of these changes is unknown.

Table of contents |
Further, it is possible the COVID-19 pandemic, particularly in light of variant strains of the virus, could further impact our operations and the operations of customers and retailers as a result of quarantines, facility closures, illnesses, and travel and logistics restrictions. The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic impacts our business, results of operations, and financial condition will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including, but not limited to, the resumption of high levels of infection and hospitalization, the resulting impact on our customers, suppliers, and vendors and the overall retail landscape, the remedial actions and stimulus measures adopted by federal, state, and local governments, and to what extent normal economic and operating conditions are impacted. Therefore, we cannot reasonably estimate the full extent of the impact on our results of operation and financial condition, but it could be material and last for an extended period of time.
We will continue to actively monitor the situation and may take further actions that alter our business operations as may be required by federal, state or local authorities or that we determine are in the best interests of our employees, customers, suppliers and shareholders. We are unable to determine or predict the nature, duration or scope of the overall impact the COVID-19 pandemic will have on our business, results of operations, liquidity or capital resources. However, we believe that it is important to share where our company stands today, how our response to COVID-19 is progressing and how our operations and financial condition may change as the fight against COVID-19 progresses.
Business Overview
Summary of Financial Results
For the quarter ended June 30, 2021, the Company generated revenues of $6,096,000, as compared with revenues of $3,347,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2020. For the six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company generated revenues of $11,482,000, as compared with revenues of $7,993,000 in the six months ended June 30, 2020. Net loss for the quarter ended June 30, 2021 was $894,000, as compared to a net loss of $1,843,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2020. Net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2021 was $1,631,000, as compared to a net loss of $2,768,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The COVID-19 pandemic negatively impacted revenue and net loss for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020.
Revenue from our non-POPS solutions has increased significantly for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, partially offset by continued declines in our signage business due to competitive pressure. We continue to pursue a variety of efforts designed to drive innovation, client acquisitions and retailer expansions. During the first six months of 2021, litigation expenses increased significantly compared to prior quarters. We also recognized a gain of $1,062,000 on the forgiveness of our PPP loan during the first quarter of 2021.
During the six months ended June 30, 2021, cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash decreased by $1,164,000 from $7,128,000 at December 31, 2020, to $5,964,000 at June 30, 2021. The decrease was primarily driven by the net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The Company had no long-term debt other than its lease obligations as of June 30, 2021.

Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2021 Compared to Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2020
Net Sales. Net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2021 increased 82.1% to $6,096,000 compared to $3,347,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2020. Net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2021 increased 43.7% to $11,482,000 compared to $7,993,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2020.
Service revenues. Service revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2021 increased 94.6% to $6,096,000 compared to $3,133,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2020. Service revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2021 increased 52.4% to $11,482,000 compared to $7,533,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The increases were due to 182.2% and 137.2% increases in non-POPS revenue, partially offset by decreases in POPS solutions revenue of 9.4% and 29.0% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, non-POPS revenue has increased due to both sales to new CPGs and an increase in sales to existing CPGs as well as the comparison to sales being depressed by the impact of COVID-19 in the three and six months ended June 30, 2020. Competitive pressures have resulted in decreased POPS solutions revenue for three and six months ended June 30, 2021 versus the three and six months ended June 30, 2020. We will continue to have increased pressure on our POPS business in 2021, including the impacts from the expiration in April 2021 of our 10-year selling agreement with News America Marketing In-Store (“News America”). While the negative impact from COVID-19 has lessened compared to 2020, future impacts are unknown as CPG manufacturers and retailers react to changes in shoppers’ behavior.
Product revenues. Due to the August 2020 sale of the custom print business, there were no product sales for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to $214,000 and $460,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively.
Gross Profit. Gross profit for the three months ended June 30, 2021 increased 263.9%% to $1,208,000 compared to $332,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2020. Gross profit as a percentage of total net sales increased to 19.8% for the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared to 9.9% for the three months ended June 30, 2020. Gross profit for the six months ended June 30, 2021 increased 68.9% to $2,137,000 compared to $1,265,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2020. Gross profit as a percentage of total net sales increased to 18.6% for the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to 15.8% for the six months ended June 30, 2020.
Service revenues. Gross profit from our service revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2021 increased 270.6% to $1,208,000 compared to $326,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2020. The increase in gross profit was primarily due to POPS solutions margin as the Company reduced guaranteed payment obligations by renegotiating several fixed or store-based retail payment contracts to sign placement-based payment contracts during 2020. Gross profit from our service revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2021 increased 59.0% to $2,137,000 compared to $1,344,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The increase was primarily due to the factors described above.

Gross profit as a percentage of service revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2021 increased to 19.8% compared to 10.4% for the three months ended June 30, 2020. Gross profit as a percentage of service revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2021 increased to 18.6% compared to 17.8% for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The increases for both periods were primarily due to the factors described above, partially offset by reduced gross profit rates on non-POPS solutions due to the Company’s decision to make an investment in the execution of a large non-POPS program.
Product revenues. Due to the August 2020 sale of the custom print business, there was no gross profit for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to $6,000 and $80,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively. Gross profit as a percentage of product revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 was 2.8% and 17.4%, respectively.
Impairment Loss. Impairment loss for the six months ended June 30, 2020 was $159,000 as a result of the impairment during the first quarter of the Company’s selling agreement with News America, a long-lived asset. The impairment charge is described further in Note 3 of our accompanying unaudited financial statements. There was no impairment loss during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021.
Operating Expenses
Selling. Selling expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2021 decreased 49.8% to $465,000 compared to $927,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2020. Selling expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2021 decreased 40.4% to $981,000 compared to $1,647,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The decreases for both periods were primarily due to reductions in staffing incurred in 2020 and other decreased staff related expenses.
Selling expenses as a percentage of total net sales decreased to 7.6% for the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared to 27.7% for the three months ended June 30, 2020. Selling expenses as a percentage of net sales decreased to 8.5% for the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to 20.6% for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The decreases for both periods were primarily due to decreased expense described above, in addition to increased sales.
Marketing. Marketing expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2021 increased 7.0% to $260,000 compared to $243,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2020. The increase was primarily due to staff related expenses. Marketing expense for the six months ended June 30, 2021 decreased 18.6% to $495,000 compared to $608,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The decreases was primarily the result of decreased consulting expenses.
Marketing expenses as a percentage of total net sales decreased to 4.3% for the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared to 7.3% for the three months ended June 30, 2020. Marketing expenses as a percentage of net sales decreased to 4.3% for the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to 7.6% for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The decreases for both periods were due to increased sales, in addition to the factors described above.
General and administrative. General and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2021 increased 34.7% to $1,336,000 compared to $992,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2020. General and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2021 increased 64.0% to $3,273,000 compared to $1,996,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The increases for both periods were primarily due to expenses incurred as a result of the litigation with News America, partially offset by a reduction in staff related expenses.
General and administrative expenses as a percentage of total net sales decreased to 21.9% for the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared to 29.6% for the three months ended June 30, 2020 due to increased sales, partially offset by expenses incurred as a result of the litigation with News America. General and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales increased to 28.5% for the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to 25.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2020, the increase was due to expenses incurred as a result of the litigation with News America, partially offset by increased sales.

Other Income (Expense). Other expense for the three months ended June 30, 2021 was $31,000 compared to $2,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2020. Other income for the six months ended June 30, 2021 was $1,004,000 compared to $7,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The increase for the six months ended June 30, 2021 was due to the gain on debt extinguishment of $1,062,000 from the SBA forgiving the Company of its Note entered into pursuant to the PPP of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (“CARES”) Act, partially offset of interest expense related to sales tax accrued.
Income Taxes. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 the Company recorded income tax expense of $10,000 and $23,000, respectively, or (1.1)% and (1.4)% of loss before taxes, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company recorded income tax expense of $11,000 and income tax benefit of $211,000, respectively, or (0.6)% and 7.1% of loss before taxes, respectively. The income tax benefit or expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 is comprised of federal and state taxes. The primary differences between the Company’s June 30, 2021 and 2020 effective tax rates and the statutory federal rate are expenses related to stock-based compensation, nondeductible meals and entertainment and an increase in the Company’s valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets and for June 30, 2021, nondeductible penalties and loan forgiveness from the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loan.
The Company reassesses its effective tax rate each reporting period and adjusts the annual effective rate if deemed necessary, based on projected annual taxable income (loss).
Deferred income taxes are determined based on the estimated future tax effects of differences between the financial statements and tax basis of assets and liabilities given the provisions of enacted tax laws. In providing for deferred taxes, we consider tax regulations of the jurisdictions in which we operate, estimates of future taxable income and available tax planning strategies. If tax regulations, operating results or the ability to implement tax-planning strategies vary, adjustment to the carrying value of deferred tax assets and liabilities may be required. Valuation allowances are recorded related to deferred tax assets based on the “more likely than not” criteria.
As a result of the Company’s future outlook, management has reviewed its deferred tax assets and concluded that the uncertainties related to the realization of its deferred tax assets have become unfavorable. Management has considered positive and negative evidence for the potential utilization of the deferred tax assets and has concluded that it is more likely than not that Company will not realize the full amount of its net deferred tax assets. At June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company had a valuation allowance of approximately $2,586,000 and $1,946,000, respectively, against its entire deferred tax asset because the Company does not believe it is more likely than not that it will realize its deferred tax asset.
In March 2020, Congress passed the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (“CARES”) Act. The CARES Act, among other provisions, allows for companies to carry back federal NOLs generated in 2018, 2019 and 2020 for up to five years for refunds of federal taxes paid. This provision created an opportunity for the Company to utilize NOLs not previously expected to be utilized. Thus, the Company has reversed approximately $215,000 of its valuation allowance against the NOLs in its deferred tax assets which the Company carried back to claim a refund of federal taxes paid. As the Company expects to receive the tax refund from the ability to carry back the NOLs within the next 12 months, this discrete benefit has been recorded within income taxes receivable on the balance sheet. In addition to the $215,000 recognized, $17,000 was included as a discrete tax benefit for the year and included in income taxes receivable related to the NOL carry back due to differences in the federal tax rate utilized for the deferred tax asset compared to the rates in effect for the years in which the NOL is being carried back.
Net Loss. For the reasons stated above, net loss for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 was $894,000 and $1,631,000, respectively, compared to net loss of $1,843,000 and $2,768,000, respectively, for the three and six months ending June 30, 2020.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company has financed its operations with proceeds from stock sales and sales of its services and products. At June 30, 2021, working capital was $5,756,000 (defined as current assets less current liabilities) compared to $7,668,000 at December 31, 2020. During the six months ended June 30, 2021, cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash decreased $1,164,000 from $7,128,000 at December 31, 2020 to $5,964,000 at June 30, 2021.

Operating Activities. Net cash used by operating activities during the six months ended June 30, 2021, was $1,151,000. Net loss of $1,631,000, less non-cash adjustments of $842,000, plus changes in operating assets and liabilities of $1,322,000, resulted in the $1,151,000 of cash used by operating activities. The largest component of the change in operating assets and liabilities was accounts receivable, which decreased by $967,000 from December 31, 2020, as a result of normal fluctuations based on business and market conditions. The non-cash adjustments consisted of depreciation and amortization expense, gain on sale of property and equipment, changes in allowance for doubtful accounts, gain on forgiveness of PPP loan and accrued interest and stock-based compensation expense. In the normal course of business, our accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities and deferred revenue will fluctuate depending on the level of revenues and related business activity, as well as billing arrangements with customers and payment terms with retailers.
Investing Activities. Net cash used in investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2021 was $16,000. This was related to the purchase of property and equipment, partially offset by proceeds from the sale of property and equipment.
Financing Activities. Net cash provided by financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2021 was $3,000, which relates to proceeds received from issuance of common stock under the employee stock purchase plan. Net cash provided by financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2020 was $1,060,000, which primarily related to proceeds received from our PPP loan.
The Company believes that based upon current business conditions and plans, its existing cash balance and future cash generated from operations will be sufficient for its cash requirements for at least the next twelve months.
Critical Accounting Policies
The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of our financial statements. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
Our significant accounting policies are described in Note 1 to the annual financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2020, included in our Form 10-K/A filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 11, 2021. We believe our most critical accounting policies and estimates include the following:
| · | revenue recognition; |
| · | allowance for doubtful accounts; |
| · | sales taxes; |
| · | income taxes; and |
| · | stock-based compensation. |

Factors that could cause our estimates and assumptions as to future performance, and our actual results, to differ materially include the following: (i) the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic including the duration, spread, severity, and any recurrence of the COVID-19 pandemic, the duration and scope of related government orders and restrictions, the impact on our employees, and the extent of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on overall demand for our products and services; (ii) local, regional, national, and international economic conditions that are impacted as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic including the risks of a global recession or a recession in one or more of our key markets, and the impact they may have on us and our customers and our assessment of that impact; (iii) management’s ability to fully or successfully implement its business plan to achieve and maintain increased sales and resultant profitability in the future; (iv) the Company’s success in developing and implementing new product offerings, including mobile, digital or other new offerings, in a successful manner; (v) prevailing market conditions, including pricing and other competitive pressures, in the in-store advertising industry and, intense competition for agreements with CPG retailers and manufacturers; (vi) potentially incorrect assumptions by management with respect to the financial effect of current strategic decisions and the effect of current sales trends on fiscal year 2021 results; (vii) termination of all or a major portion of, or a significant change in terms and conditions of, a material agreement with a CPG manufacturer or retailer; (viii) other economic, business, market, financial, competitive and/or regulatory factors affecting the Company’s business generally; (ix) our ability to successfully manage our new IT operating infrastructure outsourcing arrangement; (x) our ability to attract and retain highly qualified managerial, operational and sales personnel; and (xi) the final outcome of our litigation with News America. Our risks and uncertainties also include, but are not limited to, the risks presented in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, as amended, and this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and any additional risks presented in our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and our Current Reports on Form 8-K. We undertake no obligation (and expressly disclaim any such obligation) to update forward-looking statements made in this Form 10-Q to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this Form 10-Q or to update reasons why actual results would differ from those anticipated in any such forward-looking statements, other than as required by law.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Not applicable.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
The Company’s management carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (principal executive officer) and the Company’s Chief Financial Officer (principal financial officer), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, management identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting which was also disclosed in our Annual Report on the Form 10-K/A. As a result of this material weakness, management concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of June 30, 2021.
20 |
Table of contents |
Remediation Plan and Status for Material Weakness
In response to the identified material weakness, our management, with the oversight of the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors, has dedicated significant resources, including the involvement of outside advisors, and efforts to improve our internal control over financial reporting and has taken immediate action to remediate the material weakness identified. Certain remedial actions have been completed including ongoing involvement of outside advisors, review of taxability of new products and services and obtaining of appropriate documentation of exempt status from customers. The Company will further enhance these controls over the remainder of 2021.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Except as noted above, no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting occurred during the second quarter of 2021 that have materially affected, or are reasonable likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
Inherent Limitations on Control Systems
Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, will be or have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision making can by faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, 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. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
In July 2019, the Company brought suit against News America in the U.S. District Court in Minnesota, alleging violations of federal and state antitrust and tort laws by News America. The complaint alleges that News America has monopolized the national market for third-party in-store advertising and promotion products and services through various wrongful acts designed to harm the Company, its last significant competitor. The suit seeks, among other relief, an injunction sufficient to prevent further antitrust injury and an award of treble damages to be determined at trial for the harm caused to our Company.
In August 2019, News America filed an answer and counterclaim. In October 2019, News America moved for a judgment on the pleadings. Management believes that the counterclaim is without merit, and the Company filed a response brief on November 11, 2019. The Company also moved to dismiss the counterclaim against it. The court heard oral arguments from both parties on January 14, 2020, and subsequently denied both motions. On July 10, 2020 the parties cross-moved for summary judgment on the counterclaim. On December 7, 2020, the Court granted News America’s motion for summary judgment on the counterclaim in part, requiring Insignia to strike certain allegations from its complaint and finding News America’s request for attorneys’ fees and costs premature.
Discovery is underway and trial has been scheduled for December 2021. At this stage of the proceedings, the Company is unable to determine the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome or estimate any potential resulting liability at this time.
The amount of legal expense that will be incurred in connection with the foregoing legal proceedings may be significant through the remainder of 2021 and beyond.
