LIQUIDITY
LIQUIDITY	NOTE 12 – LIQUIDITY We define liquidity as our ability to pay liabilities as they become due, fund business operations and meet monetary contractual obligations. Our primary sources of liquidity are cash on hand, internally generated funds, sales of common stock pursuant to the ATM Agreement, and borrowings under the Credit Agreement which matures on June 15, 2024. As of July 1, 2023, the outstanding borrowings under the Credit Agreement were $1.0 million. As of July 1, 2023, we were in compliance with all of the covenants under the Credit Agreement. For additional information on the Credit Agreement, see Part I, Item 1, Note 5 – Debt. On March 27, 2023, the Company entered into an invoice factoring agreement with FundThrough USA, Inc. (the “Priority Agreement”). The agreement provides the flexibility to receive funds early for a subset of customers at a discount rate of 2.75% to 8.25% depending on the length of payment terms with the customer. As of July 1, 2023, we had factored $0.9 million of receivables through the Priority Agreement. On January 11, 2022, the Company entered into the ATM Agreement with Lake Street pursuant to which the Company may offer and sell shares of the Company’s common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $30 million to or through Lake Street, as sales agent, from time to time, in an “at the market offering”. The Company is not obligated to make any sales under the agreement and any determination by the Company to do so will be dependent, among other things, on market conditions and the Company’s capital raising needs. The Registration Statement, including the accompanying prospectus and related prospectus supplements related to the “at the market offering,” is subject to the provisions of General Instruction I.B.6 of Form S-3, which provides that we may not sell securities in a public primary offering with a value exceeding one-third of our public float in any twelve-month period unless our public float is at least $75 million. As of June 12, 2023, the Company’s public float (i.e., the aggregate market value of its outstanding equity securities held by non-affiliates) was approximately $14.4 million, based on the closing price per share of the Company’s common stock as reported on the Nasdaq Capital Market on June 12, 2023, as calculated in accordance with General Instruction I.B.6 of Form S-3. In addition, during the 12 calendar month period that ends on the date of the filing of this Report, we had offered and sold approximately $3.4 million of our common stock pursuant to the Registration Statement. If our public float meets or exceeds $75 million at any time, we will no longer be subject to the restrictions set forth in General Instruction I.B.6 of Form S-3, at least until the filing of our next Section 10(a)(3) update as required under the Securities Act. On February 1, 2023, we entered into the RDO Purchase Agreement providing for the sale and issuance by the Company to a single institutional investor of the Shares of the Company’s common stock, at an offering price of $0.85 per Share in a registered direct offering pursuant to the Registration Statement. Concurrently with the sale of the Shares and pursuant to the RDO Purchase Agreement, the Company also sold and issued in a private placement, for no additional consideration to the investor, the Warrants to purchase up to 3,971,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. The net proceeds to the Company from the offerings were approximately $3.0 million after deducting the placement agent’s fees and related offering expenses, and excluding the proceeds, if any, from the exercise of the Warrants. The Company intends to use the net proceeds of the offering for working capital and general corporate purposes. The sale of the Shares pursuant to the RDO Purchase Agreement has reduced the amount of securities that we may sell in a primary offering pursuant to the Registration Statement, including pursuant to the ATM Agreement. Our recurring losses, negative cash flows from operating activities, need for additional financing and the uncertainties surrounding our ability to obtain such financing, raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. We have limited cash on hand and will need additional working capital to fund our planned operations. We are subject to significant risks and uncertainties, including failing to secure additional capital to fund our planned operations or failing to profitably operate the business. We intend to raise funds through various potential sources, such as equity or debt financings; however, we can provide no assurance that such financing will be available on acceptable terms, or at all. If adequate financing is not available or we do not achieve profitability and positive cash flows from operating activities, we may be required to significantly curtail or cease our operations. Cash and the availability of cash could be materially restricted if (1) outstanding invoices billed are not collected or are not collected in a timely manner, (2) circumstances prevent the timely internal processing of invoices, (3) we lose one or more of our major customers or our major customers significantly reduce the amount of work requested from us, (4) we are unable to win new projects that we can perform on a profitable basis or (5) we are unable to reverse our use of cash to fund losses. Our Board of Directors continues to review strategic transactions, which could include strategic acquisitions, mergers, reverse mergers, the issuance or buyback of public shares, or the purchase or sale of specific assets, in addition to other potential actions aimed at increasing shareholder value. The Company does not intend to disclose or comment on developments related to its review unless and until the Board has approved a specific transaction or otherwise determined that further disclosure is appropriate. There can be no assurance that the Board’s strategic review will result in any transaction, or any assurance as to its outcome or timing.
