RESTRUCTURING

For the three months ended March 31, 2021 and March 31, 2020, we recorded net restructuring credits of approximately $19 thousand and $14 thousand, respectively, related to the costs and offsetting sub-lease income and accretion expense for the remaining lease obligation for our former New York, New York office. For additional information regarding the restructuring actions taken as part of the restructuring plans, please refer to Note 3, “Restructuring,” included under Item 8, “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data,” of our 2020 Annual Report.

Our restructuring liabilities consist of estimated ongoing costs related to long-term operating lease obligations, which the Company exited. The recorded value of the ongoing lease obligations is based on the remaining lease term and payment amount, discounted to present value. Changes in subsequent periods resulting from a revision to either the timing or the amount of estimated cash flows over the future period are measured using the credit adjusted, risk free rate that was used to measure the restructuring liabilities initially. Please also refer to Note 6, “Leases”.

The following is a reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances of our restructuring liability as it relates to the restructuring plans (in thousands):

	2021		2020
Balance at December 31, 2020 and 2019	$	11	$	38
Accretion of lease obligations	—		1
Payments	(6)		(8)
Balance at March 31, 2021 and 2020	$	5	$	31

The following is a reconciliation of the ending balance of our restructuring liability at March 31, 2021 to the balance sheet:

	2021		2020
Balance at March 31, 2021 and 2020	$	5	$	31
Less, short-term restructuring liability	5		24
Long-term restructuring liability, included in other liabilities	$	—	$	7

As a result of the restructuring actions and initiatives described above, we have reduced our operating expenses to be more commensurate with our sales volumes. However, we continue to incur losses and have a substantial accumulated deficit, and

substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern continues to exist at March 31, 2021.

Throughout 2020, as well as the first quarter 2021, we have continued to evaluate and assess strategic options as we seek to achieve profitability. We plan to achieve profitability through growing our sales by continuing to execute on our multi-channel sales strategy that targets key verticals, such as government, healthcare, education, and commercial and industrial, complemented by our marketing outreach campaigns and expanding channel partnerships. We also plan to continue to develop and launch advanced lighting and lighting control technologies and introduce impactful new products such as EnFocus™, a breakthrough lighting control platform we officially launched during the second quarter of 2020. In addition, during the last quarter of 2020, we announced newly developed UVCD products for both consumer, as well as commercial and industrial markets, that are expected to be available in the third quarter of 2021.

As described in Note 9, “Stockholders’ Equity,” we also raised approximately $2.3 million of net proceeds upon the issuance of common stock and warrants in connection with the January 2020 Equity Offering. Additionally, in August 2020, we entered into two new revolving credit facilities as described in Note 7, “Debt,” which allow for expanded borrowing capacity, which capacity was further increased by an April 20, 2021 amendment to one of the facilities. See Note 11, “Subsequent Events”.

The restructuring and cost cutting initiatives implemented during 2020, as well as the January 2020 Equity Offering that significantly strengthened our balance sheet, the PPP loan we obtained in April 2020 and our enhanced debt capacity due to the debt refinancing in August 2020 and capacity increase and additional bridge financing in April 2021, were designed to allow us to effectively execute these strategies. However, our efforts may not occur as quickly as we envision or be successful due to the long sales cycle in our industry, the corresponding time required to ramp up sales from new products and markets into this sales cycle, the timing of introductions of additional new products, significant competition, potential sales volatility given our customer concentration, and the recent and lingering economic impact from the COVID-19 pandemic that had significantly diminished the interest and activities for lighting retrofit projects until occupancy returns to more normal levels, among other factors. As a result, we will continue to review and pursue selected external funding sources to ensure adequate financial resources to execute across the timelines required to achieve these objectives including, but not limited to, the following:

•obtaining financing from traditional or non-traditional investment capital organizations or individuals;

•obtaining funding from the sale of our common stock or other equity or debt instruments; and

•obtaining debt financing with lending terms that more closely match our business model and capital needs.

There can be no assurance that we will obtain funding on acceptable terms, in a timely fashion, or at all. Obtaining additional funding contains risks, including:

•additional equity financing may not be available to us on satisfactory terms, and any equity we are able to issue could lead to dilution for current stockholders and have rights, preferences and privileges senior to our common stock;

•loans or other debt instruments may have terms and/or conditions, such as interest rate, restrictive covenants, conversion features, refinancing demands, and control or revocation provisions, which are not acceptable to management or our board of directors; and

•the current environment in the capital markets combined with our capital constraints may prevent us from being able to obtain adequate debt financing.

If we fail to obtain the required additional financing to sustain our business before we are able to produce levels of revenue to meet our financial needs, we will need to delay, scale back or eliminate our growth plans and further reduce our operating costs and headcount, each of which would have a material adverse effect on our business, future prospects, and financial condition. A lack of additional funding could also result in our inability to continue as a going concern and force us to sell certain assets or discontinue or curtail our operations and, as a result, investors in the Company could lose their entire investment.

Considering both quantitative and qualitative information, we continue to believe that the combination of our plans to obtain additional external funding, timely re-organizational actions, current financial position, liquid resources, obligations due or anticipated within the next year, development and implementation of an excess inventory reduction plan, plans and initiatives in our research and development, product development and sales and marketing, and development of potential channel partnerships, if adequately executed, will provide us with an ability to finance our operations through the next twelve months and will mitigate the substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

On August 17, 2020, we received a letter from the Listing Qualifications staff (the “Staff”) of The Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) notifying us that we were no longer in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1), which requires listed companies to maintain stockholders’ equity of at least $2,500,000 if they do not meet the alternative compliance standards relating to the market value of listed securities or net income from continuing operations (the “Minimum Stockholders’ Equity Rule”). Our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2020, filed on August 13, 2020, reflected that our stockholders’ equity as of June 30, 2020 was $1,714,000. In addition, as of August 13, 2020, we did not meet the alternative compliance standards relating to the market value of listed securities or net income from continuing operations. On October 5, 2020, based on our timely submission of our plan to regain compliance, Nasdaq granted us an extension through February 15, 2021 to regain compliance with the Minimum Stockholders’ Equity Rule, subject to our compliance with certain terms of the extension. In accordance with one part of the plan submitted to the Staff, we have successfully modified our outstanding warrants and are able to now classify the warrants within equity. At December 31, 2020, our stockholders’ equity was $4,255,000. On January 20, 2021, we received a letter from the Staff notifying us that, on a conditional basis, Nasdaq has determined that we have regained compliance with the Minimum Stockholders’ Equity Rule. At March 31, 2021, our stockholders’ equity was $3,278,000.
