TRANS-LUX CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

June 30, 2020

(unaudited)

Note 1 – Basis of Presentation

As used in this report, “Trans-Lux,” the “Company,” “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to Trans-Lux Corporation and its subsidiaries.

Financial information included herein is unaudited, however, such information reflects all adjustments (of a normal and recurring nature), which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for the fair presentation of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the interim periods. The results for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.  The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and therefore do not include all information and footnote disclosures required under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).  The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included herein should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.  The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2019 is derived from the December 31, 2019 audited financial statements.

The following new accounting pronouncements were adopted in 2020:

In January 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2017-04, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350).  ASU 2017-04 simplifies the test for goodwill impairment.  As required by this standard, the Company adopted ASU 2018-07 on January 1, 2020.  The adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations.

Other than the foregoing changes, there have been no material changes in our significant accounting policies during the six months ended June 30, 2020 from the significant accounting policies described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, which was filed with the SEC on March 20, 2020.

The following new accounting pronouncements, and related impacts on adoption, are being evaluated by the Company:

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-14, Compensation – Retirement Benefits – Defined Benefit Plans – General (Subtopic 715-20).  ASU 2018-14 modifies the disclosure requirements for employers that sponsor defined benefit pension or other postretirement plans.  Public business entities should apply the amendments in ASU 2018-14 for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within those fiscal years (i.e., January 1, 2021).  Early application is permitted.  The Company does not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations.

Note 2 – Going Concern

A fundamental principle of the preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP is the assumption that an entity will continue in existence as a going concern, which contemplates continuity of operations and the realization of assets and settlement of liabilities occurring in the ordinary course of business.  This principle is applicable to all entities except for entities in liquidation or entities for which liquidation appears imminent.  In accordance with this requirement, the Company has prepared its accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements assuming the Company will continue as a going concern.

Due to the onset of the coronavirus in the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company experienced delays in shipments from suppliers in Asia, followed by a brief shutdown of our manufacturing facility in Missouri, as well as a reduction in sales orders from customers.  As a result, the Company incurred a net loss of $2.4 million in the six months ended June 30, 2020 and had a working capital deficiency of $5.1 million as of June 30, 2020.

The Company is dependent on future operating performance in order to generate sufficient cash flows in order to continue to run its businesses.  Future operating performance is dependent on general economic conditions, as well as financial, competitive and other factors beyond our control, including the impact of the current economic environment, the spread of major epidemics (including coronavirus) and other related uncertainties such as government imposed travel restrictions, interruptions to supply chains and extended shut down of businesses.  In order to more effectively manage its cash resources, the Company had, from time to time, increased the timetable of its payment of some of its payables, which delayed certain product deliveries from our vendors, which in turn delayed certain deliveries to our customers.

There is substantial doubt as to whether we will have adequate liquidity, including access to the debt and equity capital markets, to operate our business over the next 12 months from the date of issuance of this Form 10-Q.  A stockholder of the Company has committed to providing additional capital up to $2.0 million, to the extent necessary to fund operations.  The Company continually evaluates the need and availability of long-term capital in order to meet its cash requirements and fund potential new opportunities.

Note 3 – Revenue Recognition

Revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of promised goods or services in an amount that reflects the consideration which the entity expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services.  To determine revenue recognition for arrangements that an entity determines are within the scope of this standard, the Company performs the following five steps: (i) identify the contract(s) with a customer; (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation.  The Company only applies the five-step model to contracts when it is probable that the entity will collect the consideration it is entitled to in exchange for the goods or services it transfers to the customer.  At contract inception, once the contract is determined to be within the scope of this standard, the Company assesses the goods or services promised within each contract and determines those that are performance obligations and assesses whether each promised good or service is distinct.  The Company then recognizes as revenue the amount of the transaction price that is allocated to the respective performance obligation when (or as) the performance obligation is satisfied.  Sales tax, value added tax and other taxes collected on behalf of third parties are excluded from revenue.

6

Contracts with customers may contain multiple performance obligations.  For such arrangements, the transaction price is allocated to each performance obligation based on the estimated relative standalone selling prices of the promised products or services underlying each performance obligation.  The Company determines standalone selling prices based on the price at which the performance obligation is sold separately.  If the standalone selling price is not observable through past transactions, the Company estimates the standalone selling price taking into account available information such as market conditions and internally approved pricing guidelines related to the performance obligations.

When determining the transaction price of a contract, an adjustment is made if payment from a customer occurs either significantly before or significantly after performance, resulting in a significant financing component.  Applying the practical expedient in paragraph 606-10-32-18, the Company does not assess whether a significant financing component exists if the period between when the Company performs its obligations under the contract and when the customer pays is one year or less.  None of the Company’s contracts contained a significant financing component as of June 30, 2020.

We recognize revenue in accordance with two different accounting standards: 1) Topic 606 and 2) Topic 842.  Under Topic 606, revenue from contracts with customers is measured based on the consideration specified in the contract with the customer, and excludes any sales incentives and amounts collected on behalf of third parties.  A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to a customer, and is the unit of account under Topic 606.  Our contracts with customers generally do not include multiple performance obligations.  We recognize revenue when we satisfy a performance obligation by transferring control over a product or service to a customer. The amount of revenue recognized reflects the consideration we expect to be entitled to in exchange for such products or services.

Disaggregated Revenues

The following table represents a disaggregation of revenue from contracts with customers for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, along with the reportable segment for each category:

Performance Obligations

The Company has two primary revenue streams which are Digital product sales and Digital product lease and maintenance.

Digital Product Sales

The Company recognizes net revenue on digital product sales to its distribution partners and to end users related to digital display solutions and fixed digit scoreboards.  For the Company’s catalog products, revenue is generally recognized when the customer obtains control of the Company’s product, which occurs at a point in time, and may be upon shipment or upon delivery based on the contractual shipping terms of a contract.  For the Company’s customized products, revenue is either recognized at a point in time or over time depending on the size of the contract.  For those customized product contracts that are smaller in size, revenue is generally recognized when the customer obtains control of the Company’s product, which occurs at a point in time, and may be upon shipment or upon delivery based on the contractual shipping terms of a contract.  For those customized product contracts that are larger in size, revenue is recognized over time based on incurred costs as compared to projected costs using the input method, as this best reflects the Company’s progress in transferring control of the customized product to the customer.  The Company may also contract with a customer to perform installation services of digital display products.  Similar to the larger customized products, the Company recognizes the revenue associated with installation services using the input method, whereby the basis is the total contract costs incurred to date compared to the total expected costs to be incurred.

Revenue on sales to distribution partners are recorded net of prompt-pay discounts, if offered, and other deductions.  To the extent the transaction price includes variable consideration, the Company estimates the amount of variable consideration that should be included in the transaction price utilizing the most likely amount method to which the Company expects to be entitled.  In the case of prompt-pay discounts, there are only two possible outcomes: either the customer pays on-time or does not.  Variable consideration is included in the transaction price if, in the Company’s judgment, it is probable that a significant future reversal of cumulative revenue under the contract will not occur.  Determination of whether to include estimated amounts in the transaction price are based largely on an assessment of the Company’s anticipated performance and all information (historical, current and forecasted) that is reasonably available.  The Company believes that the estimates it has established are reasonable based upon current facts and circumstances.  Applying different judgments to the same facts and circumstances could result in the estimated amounts to vary.  The Company offers an assurance-type warranty that the digital display products will conform to the published specifications.  Returns may only be made subject to this warranty and not for convenience.

Digital Product Lease and Maintenance

Digital product lease revenues represent revenues from leasing equipment that we own.  We do not generally provide an option for the lessee to purchase the rented equipment at the end of the lease and do not generate material revenue from sales of equipment under such options.  Our lease revenues do not include material amounts of variable payments.  Digital product maintenance revenues represent revenues from maintenance agreements for equipment that we do not own.  Lease and maintenance contracts generally run for periods of one month to 10 years.  A contract entered into by the Company with a customer may contain both lease and maintenance services (either or both services may be agreed upon based on the individual customer contract).  Maintenance services may consist of providing labor, parts and software maintenance as may be required to maintain the customer’s equipment in proper operating condition at the customer’s service location.  The Company concluded the lease and maintenance services represent a series of distinct services and the most representative method for measuring progress towards satisfying the performance obligation of these services is the input method.  Additionally, maintenance services require the Company to “stand ready” to provide support to the customer when and if needed.  As there is no discernable pattern of efforts other than evenly over the lease and maintenance terms, the Company will recognize revenue straight-line over the lease and maintenance terms of service.

The Company has an enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date, as evidenced by the requirement that the customer pay upfront for each month of services. Lease and maintenance service amounts billed ahead of revenue recognition are recorded in deferred revenue and are included in accrued liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Revenues from equipment lease and maintenance contracts are recognized during the term of the respective agreements.  At June 30, 2020, the future minimum lease payments due to the Company under operating leases that expire at varying dates through 2030 for its rental equipment and maintenance contracts, assuming no renewals of existing leases or any new leases, aggregating $1,987,000 are as follows:  $301,000 – remainder of 2020, $496,000 – 2021, $320,000 – 2022, $249,000 – 2023, $177,000 – 2024 and $444,000 thereafter.

Contract Balances with Customers

Contract assets primarily relate to rights to consideration for goods or services transferred to the customer when the right is conditional on something other than the passage of time.  The contract assets are transferred to the receivables when the rights become unconditional.  As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company had no contract assets.  The contract liabilities primarily relate to the advance consideration received from customers for contracts prior to the transfer of control to the customer and therefore revenue is recognized on completion of delivery.  Contract liabilities are classified as deferred revenue by the Company and are included in customer deposits and accrued liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The following table presents the balances in the Company’s receivables and contract liabilities with customers:

In thousands	June 30, 2020		December 31, 2019
Gross receivables	$	2,564	$	3,124
Allowance for bad debts		809		743
Net receivables		1,755		2,381
Contract liabilities		921		230

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, the Company recognized the following revenues as a result of changes in the contract asset and the contract liability balances in the respective periods:

	Three months ended				Six months ended
In thousands	June 30, 2020		June 30, 2019		June 30, 2020		June 30, 2019

Transaction Price Allocated to Future Performance Obligations – alternative more qualitative presentation

Remaining performance obligations represents the transaction price of contracts for which work has not been performed (or has been partially performed).  The guidance provides certain practical expedients that limit this requirement and, therefore, the Company does not disclose the value of unsatisfied performance obligations for (i) contracts with an original expected length of one year or less and (ii) contracts for which revenue is recognized at the amount to which the Company has the right to invoice for services performed.  As of June 30, 2020, the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations for digital product sales was $2.6 million and digital product lease and maintenance was $2.0 million.

The Company expects to recognize revenue on approximately 71%, 14% and 15% of the remaining performance obligations over the next 12 months, 13 to 36 months and 37 or more months, respectively.

Costs to Obtain or Fulfill a Customer Contract

The Company capitalizes incremental costs of obtaining customer contracts.  Capitalized commissions are amortized based on the transfer of the products or services to which the assets relate.  Applying the practical expedient in paragraph 340-40-25-4, the Company recognizes the incremental costs of obtaining contracts as an expense when incurred if the amortization period of the assets that the Company otherwise would have recognized is one year or less.  These costs are included in General and administrative expenses.

The Company accounts for shipping and handling activities related to contracts with customers as costs to fulfill the promise to transfer the associated products.  When shipping and handling costs are incurred after a customer obtains control of the products, the Company also has elected to account for these as costs to fulfill the promise and not as a separate performance obligation.  Shipping and handling costs associated with the distribution of finished products to customers are recorded in costs of goods sold and are recognized when the related finished product is shipped to the customer.

Note 9 – Leases

The Company leases administrative and manufacturing facilities through operating lease agreements. The Company has no finance leases as of June 30, 2020.  Our leases include both lease (e.g., fixed payments including rent) and non-lease components (e.g., common area or other maintenance costs). The facility leases include one or more options to renew.  The exercise of lease renewal options is typically at our sole discretion, therefore, the renewals to extend the lease terms are not included in our right of use (“ROU”) assets or lease liabilities as they are not reasonably certain of exercise.  We regularly evaluate the renewal options and, when they are reasonably certain of exercise, we include the renewal period in our lease term.

Operating leases result in the recognition of ROU assets and lease liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.  ROU assets represent our right to use the leased asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments.  Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term.  As most of our leases do not provide an implicit rate, we use our estimated incremental borrowing rate at the commencement date to determine the present value of lease payments.  Most real estate leases include one or more options to renew, with renewal terms that can extend the lease term from 1 to 5 years or more.  Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.  Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.  The primary leases we enter into with initial terms of 12 months or less are for equipment.

Basic and diluted loss per share	$	(0.10)	$	(0.03)	$	(0.17)	$	(0.10)

Basic loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to common shares by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period.  Diluted loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to common shares, by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding, adjusted for shares that would be assumed outstanding after warrants and stock options vested under the treasury stock method.

At June 30, 2020, the Company had no accumulated unpaid dividends related to the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (“SBCPS”).  At June 30, 2019, the Company had accumulated unpaid dividends of $5,000 related to the SBCPS.

As of June 30, 2020, the Company had no shares of SBCPS outstanding.  As of June 30, 2019, the Company had 648 shares of SBCPS outstanding, which were convertible into 64,800 shares of Common Stock, none of which were used in the calculation of diluted loss per share because their conversion price was greater than the average share price for the period and their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.  For each holder of the 15,864 shares of SBCPS that converted their shares into Common Stock in March 2019, the Company declared a dividend of $4.60 per share of SBCPS on March 29, 2019, aggregating $73,000, which was distributed to these former holders of the SBCPS on April 2, 2019.

As of June 30, 2020 and 2019, the Company had warrants to purchase 250,000 shares of Common Stock outstanding which were included in the calculation of diluted loss per share because their exercise price was less than the average stock price for the period so their inclusion was dilutive.  As of June 30, 2020 and 2019, the Company had other warrants to purchase 500,000 shares and 10,000 shares, respectively, of Common Stock outstanding, which were excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per share because their exercise price was greater than the average stock price for the period and their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.  The remaining warrants to purchase 500,000 shares could be dilutive in the future if the average share price increases and is greater than the exercise price of these warrants.

17

On June 4, 2020, the Company entered into a Contract Manufacturing Agreement (the “CMA”) with Craftsmen Industries Inc. (“Craftsmen”).  The CMA commenced June 15, 2020 and the initial term terminates December 31, 2020.  The CMA allows for renewal terms of 180 days each.  Under the CMA, Craftsmen shall manufacture and supply goods and provide all necessary labor, materials, management expertise, and oversight necessary to manufacture the goods at the Company’s manufacturing facility located in Hazelwood, Missouri.  The Company shall provide Craftsmen assistance to the manufacturing process, the technical details as well as the amount of goods to be produced.  The CMA provides that all payments owed by the Company to Craftsmen under the CMA are secured by a second lien on company assets and have been guaranteed by Unilumin USA LLC (“Unilumin USA”).  Unilumin USA is wholly owned by Unilumin North America, who owns 52% of the Company’s outstanding Common Stock.  In connection with the Unilumin Guarantee in the CMA, the Company issued warrants (the “Warrants”) to purchase 500,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock to Unilumin USA at an exercise price of $1.00 per share.  The Warrants are exercisable until June 4, 2024.  The Company calculated the fair value of the Warrants as $94,000 utilizing the Black-Scholes method, using a volatility of 151% and a risk free rate of 0.28%.  The Company recorded an expense of $94,000 in general and administrative expenses in June 2020.

Note 11 – Contingencies

The Company is subject to legal proceedings and claims which arise in the ordinary course of its business and/or which are covered by insurance.  The Company has accrued reserves individually and in the aggregate for such legal proceedings.  Should actual litigation results differ from the Company’s estimates, revisions to increase or decrease the accrued reserves may be required.  There are no open matters that the Company deems material.

Note 12 – Restructuring

The Company records restructuring liabilities that represent charges in connection with consolidations of certain operations as well as headcount reduction programs.  In the third quarter of 2019, the Company approved restructuring plans to consolidate the manufacturing facilities.  The Company recorded restructuring costs of $306,000 for the year ended December 31, 2019, which mainly consisted of costs to relocate equipment and inventory and other costs to consolidate the manufacturing facilities.  This restructuring relates to the digital product sales segment.  Through December 31, 2019, the Company paid $51,000 of costs to relocate equipment and inventory.  Therefore, the remaining $253,000 was included in accrued liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2019.  In the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company paid $10,000 and $224,000, respectively, to complete the consolidation of the manufacturing facilities.  As a result, the Company adjusted the accrual and recognized restructuring costs of $10,000 in the three ended June 30, 2020 and ($29,000) in the six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively.  There were no restructuring costs in the three or six months ended June 30, 2019.

Note 14 – Business Segment Data

Operating segments are based on the Company’s business components about which separate financial information is available and are evaluated regularly by the Company’s chief operating decision makers in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance of the business.

The Company evaluates segment performance and allocates resources based upon operating income (loss). The Company’s operations are managed in two reportable business segments: Digital product sales and Digital product lease and maintenance.  Both design and produce large-scale, multi-color, real-time digital displays.  Both operating segments are conducted on a global basis, primarily through operations in the United States.  The Company also has operations in Canada.  The Digital product sales segment sells equipment and the Digital product lease and maintenance segment leases and maintains equipment.  Corporate general and administrative items relate to costs that are not directly identifiable with a segment.  There are no intersegment sales.

19

Foreign revenues represent less than 10% of the Company’s revenues in 2020 and 2019.  The Company’s foreign operation does not manufacture its own equipment; the domestic operation provides the equipment that the foreign operation leases or sells.  The foreign operation operates similarly to the domestic operation and has similar profit margins.  Foreign assets are immaterial.

Information about the Company’s operations in its two business segments for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 is as follows:

Results of Operations

Six Months Ended June 30, 2020 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2019

The following table presents our Statements of Operations data, expressed as a percentage of revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019:

	Six months ended June 30

Total revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2020 decreased $3.4 million or 46.1% to $4.0 million from $7.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019, primarily due to decreases in Digital product sales.

21

Digital product sales revenues decreased $3.4 million or 54.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2019, primarily due to a decrease in shipments as we completed the consolidation of our manufacturing facilities, followed by delays in shipments from suppliers due to the onset of the coronavirus in Asia, followed by a brief shutdown of our manufacturing facility at the onset of the coronavirus in the United States.

Digital product lease and maintenance revenues decreased $32,000 or 2.8% for the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2019, primarily due to the continued expected revenue decline in the older outdoor display equipment rental bases acquired in the early 1990s, partially offset by an increase in display equipment maintenance agreements.  The financial services market continues to be negatively impacted by the current investment climate resulting in consolidation within that industry and the wider use of flat-panel screens for smaller applications.

Total operating loss for the six months ended June 30, 2020 increased $2.1 million to $2.3 million from $204,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2019, principally due to the decrease in revenues and an increase in the cost of revenues as a percentage of revenues.

Digital product sales operating income (loss) decreased $2.3 million to a loss of $1.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to income of $364,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2019, primarily due to the decrease in revenues.  The cost of Digital product sales decreased $1.0 million or 21.8%, primarily due to the reduction in revenues and the completion of the consolidation of our manufacturing facilities.  The cost of Digital product sales represented 129.9% of related revenues in 2020 compared to 76.4% in 2019.  This increase as a percentage of revenues is primarily due to the lack of reduction of fixed manufacturing costs despite the reduction in revenues, as well as the completion of the consolidation of our manufacturing facilities.  General and administrative expenses for Digital product sales decreased $59,000 or 5.4%, primarily due to a decrease in bad debt expenses, partially offset by an increase in marketing expenses.

Digital product lease and maintenance operating income increased $55,000 or 8.2% for the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2019, primarily as a result of a decrease in the cost of Digital product lease and maintenance and a decrease in general and administrative expenses.  The cost of Digital product lease and maintenance decreased $64,000 or 16.5%, primarily due to a decrease in depreciation expense.  The cost of Digital product lease and maintenance revenues represented 29.3% of related revenues in 2020 compared to 34.1% in 2019.  The cost of Digital product lease and maintenance includes field service expenses, plant repair costs, maintenance and depreciation.  General and administrative expenses for Digital product lease and maintenance decreased $23,000 or 28.8%, primarily due to a reduction in employees’ expenses.

Corporate general and administrative expenses decreased $100,000 or 8.1% for the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2019, primarily due to a reduction in employee, rent, legal and directors’ expenses, partially offset by an increase in warrant expense.

22

Net interest expense decreased $73,000 or 21.8% for the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2019, primarily due to decreases in interest rates and the average outstanding long-term debt, primarily due to the decrease in the balance owed under revolving credit loans and term loans, partially offset by the increase in the balance owed under the PPP loan.

The loss on extinguishment of debt for the six months ended June 30, 2019 represented the write-off of the remaining debt discount costs and the termination fees related to former loans from CNH and SM Investors.

The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 was 0.5% and 1.4%, respectively.  Both the 2020 and 2019 tax rates are being affected by the valuation allowance on the Company’s deferred tax assets as a result of reporting pre-tax losses.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2020 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2019

The following table presents our Statements of Operations data, expressed as a percentage of revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019:

Total revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2020 decreased $1.7 million or 45.3% to $2.0 million from $3.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019, primarily due to a decrease in Digital product sales.

Digital product sales revenues decreased $1.6 million or 51.2% for the three months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2019, primarily due to a decrease in the sports market, principally due to coronavirus concerns.

23

Digital product lease and maintenance revenues decreased $103,000 or 16.2% for the three months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2019, primarily due to the continued expected revenue decline in the older outdoor display equipment rental bases acquired in the early 1990s, partially offset by an increase in display equipment maintenance agreements.  The financial services market continues to be negatively impacted by the current investment climate resulting in consolidation within that industry and the wider use of flat-panel screens for smaller applications.

Total operating income (loss) for the three months ended June 30, 2020 decreased $1.2 million to a loss of $1.1 million from income of $35,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2019, principally due to the decrease in revenues and an increase in the cost of revenues as a percentage of revenues.

Digital product sales operating income (loss) decreased $1.2 million to a loss of $912,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2020 compared to income of $248,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2019, primarily due to the decrease in revenues and an increase in the cost of revenue as a percentage of revenues.  The cost of Digital product sales decreased $216,000 or 9.7%, primarily due to the decrease in revenues, offset by the completion of the consolidation of our manufacturing facilities.  The cost of Digital product sales represented 131.9% of related revenues in 2020 compared to 71.3% in 2019.  This increase as a percentage of revenues is primarily due to the lack of reduction of fixed manufacturing costs despite the reduction in revenues, as well as the completion of the consolidation of our manufacturing facilities.  General and administrative expenses for Digital product sales decreased $219,000 or 33.9%, primarily due to decreases in bad debt expenses and employees’ expenses, partially offset by an increase in marketing expenses.

Digital product lease and maintenance operating income decreased $49,000 or 11.8% for the three months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2019, primarily as a result of a decrease in the cost of Digital product lease and maintenance and a decrease in general and administrative expenses, partially offset by the decrease in revenues.  The cost of Digital product lease and maintenance decreased $41,000 or 22.8%, primarily due to a decrease in depreciation expense.  The cost of Digital product lease and maintenance revenues represented 26.2% of related revenues in 2020 compared to 28.4% in 2019.  The cost of Digital product lease and maintenance includes field service expenses, plant repair costs, maintenance and depreciation.  General and administrative expenses for Digital product lease and maintenance decreased $13,000 or 33.3%, primarily due to a reduction in employees’ expenses.

Corporate general and administrative expenses decreased $34,000 or 5.4% for the three months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2019, primarily due to a reduction in employee, rent, legal and directors’ expenses, partially offset by an increase in warrant expense.

Net interest expense increased $75,000 or 93.8% for the three months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2019, primarily due an increase in the average outstanding long-term debt, primarily due to an increase in the balance owed under revolving credit loans and term loans including the PPP loan, partially offset by decreases in interest rates.

The loss on extinguishment of debt for the three months ended June 30, 2019 represented the write-off of the remaining debt discount costs and the termination fees related to former loans from CNH and SM Investors.

24

The effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 was 0.4% and 1.7%, respectively.  Both the 2020 and 2019 tax rates are being affected by the valuation allowance on the Company’s deferred tax assets as a result of reporting pre-tax losses.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Current Liquidity

The Company has incurred significant recurring losses and continues to have a significant working capital deficiency.  The Company incurred a net loss of $2.4 million in the six months ended June 30, 2020 and had a working capital deficiency of $5.1 million as of June 30, 2020.  As of December 31, 2019, the Company had a working capital deficiency of $3.1 million.  The increase in the working capital deficiency is primarily due to increases in the current portion of long-term debt, customer deposits and accounts payable, as well as decreases in accounts receivable and prepaids and other assets, partially offset by a decrease in accrued liabilities.

On July 2, 2020, the Company and the City of Hazelwood agreed to a termination of the loan and a forgiveness of all accrued interest.  The principal balance of $650,000 was repaid from Restricted Cash on that date and the forgivable loan was satisfied in full.  The Restricted Cash is included in non-current assets and the loan is included in long-term liabilities, so there is no impact on the working capital deficiency related to the principal repayment.  The interest forgiveness of $137,000 in July will result in a reduction in interest expense and a reduction in the working capital deficiency at that time.

The Company is dependent on future operating performance in order to generate sufficient cash flows in order to continue to run its businesses.  Future operating performance is dependent on general economic conditions, as well as financial, competitive and other factors beyond our control, including the impact of the current economic environment, the spread of major epidemics (including coronavirus) and other related uncertainties such as government imposed travel restrictions, interruptions to supply chains and extended shut down of businesses.  In order to more effectively manage its cash resources, the Company had, from time to time, increased the timetable of its payment of some of its payables, which delayed certain product deliveries from our vendors, which in turn delayed certain deliveries to our customers.

There is substantial doubt as to whether we will have adequate liquidity, including access to the debt and equity capital markets, to operate our business over the next 12 months from the date of issuance of this Form 10-Q.  A stockholder of the Company has committed to providing additional capital up to $2.0 million, to the extent necessary to fund operations.  The Company continually evaluates the need and availability of long-term capital in order to meet its cash requirements and fund potential new opportunities.

The Company used cash of $1.5 million and $3.8 million from operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.  The Company has implemented several initiatives to improve operational results and cash flows over future periods, including reducing head count, reorganizing its sales department and outsourcing certain administrative functions.  The Company continues to explore ways to reduce operational and overhead costs.  The Company periodically takes steps to reduce the cost to maintain the digital products on lease and maintenance agreements.

25

Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash decreased $487,000 in the six months ended June 30, 2020 to $898,000 at June 30, 2020 from $1.4 million at December 31, 2019.  The increase is primarily attributable to cash used in operating activities of $1.5 million and investments in equipment for rental, property and equipment of $194,000, partially offset by borrowings on the revolving loan of $1.2 million.  The current economic environment has increased the Company’s trade receivables collection cycle, and its allowances for uncollectible accounts receivable, but collections continue to be favorable.

Under various agreements, the Company is obligated to make future cash payments in fixed amounts.  These include payments under the Company’s current and long-term debt agreements, pension plan minimum required contributions, employment agreement payments and rent payments required under operating lease agreements.  The Company has both variable and fixed interest rate debt.  Interest payments are projected based on actual interest payments incurred in 2020 until the underlying debts mature.

The following table summarizes the Company’s fixed cash obligations as of June 30, 2020 for the remainder of 2020 and over the next four fiscal years:

In thousands	Remainder of 2020		2021		2022		2023		2024
Long-term debt, including interest	$	3,041	$	547	$	183	$	-	$	-
Pension plan payments		-		973		490		324		212
Employment agreement obligations		38		-		-		-		-
Estimated warranty liability		90		142		107		63		37
Contract manufacturing agreement		63		-		-		-		-

Total	$	3,456	$	2,032	$	1,128	$	696	$	249

As of June 30, 2020, the Company still had outstanding $352,000 of Notes which matured as of March 1, 2012.  The Company also still had outstanding $220,000 of Debentures which matured on December 1, 2012.  The Company continues to consider future exchanges of the Notes and Debentures, but has no agreements, commitments or understandings with respect to any further such exchanges.

The Company may still seek additional financing in order to provide enough cash to cover our remaining current fixed cash obligations as well as providing working capital.  However, there can be no assurance as to the amounts, if any, the Company will receive in any such financing or the terms thereof.  The Company has no agreements, commitments or understandings with respect to any such financings.  To the extent the Company issues additional equity securities, it could be dilutive to existing shareholders.

For a further description of the Company’s long-term debt, see Note 7 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements – Long-Term Debt.

26

Pension Plan Contributions

The minimum required pension plan contribution for 2020 is expected to be $641,000, of which the Company has already contributed $85,000 as of June 30, 2020.  As allowed by the CARES Act, the Company has elected to defer the payment of the $556,000 of remaining minimum required contributions due in 2020 until January 1, 2021.  See Note 8 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements – Pension Plan for further details.

Safe Harbor Statement under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995

The Company may, from time to time, provide estimates as to future performance.  These forward-looking statements will be estimates and may or may not be realized by the Company.  The Company undertakes no duty to update such forward-looking statements.  Many factors could cause actual results to differ from these forward-looking statements, including loss of market share through competition, introduction of competing products by others, pressure on prices from competition or purchasers of the Company’s products, interest rate and foreign exchange fluctuations, terrorist acts and war.

Item 3.             Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

The Company is subject to interest rate risk on its long-term debt.  The Company manages its exposure to changes in interest rates by the use of variable and fixed interest rate debt.  The fair value of the Company’s fixed rate long-term debt is disclosed in Note 7 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements – Long-Term Debt.  Every 1-percentage-point change in interest rates would result in an annual interest expense fluctuation of approximately $10,000.  In addition, the Company is exposed to foreign currency exchange rate risk mainly as a result of its investment in its Canadian subsidiary. A 10% change in the Canadian dollar relative to the U.S. dollar would result in a currency remeasurement expense fluctuation of approximately $255,000, based on dealer quotes, considering current exchange rates.  The Company does not enter into derivatives for trading or speculative purposes and did not hold any derivative financial instruments at June 30, 2020.

Item 4.             Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.  As required by Rule 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as of the end of the period covered by this report, we have carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (our principal executive officer) and our Chief Accounting Officer (our principal accounting officer), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures.  Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Accounting Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management (including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Accounting Officer) to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.  Based on such evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Accounting Officer have concluded that these disclosure controls are effective as of June 30, 2019.

27

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting.  There has been no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred in the quarter ended June 30, 2019 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Part II – Other Information

Item 1.             Legal Proceedings

The Company is subject to legal proceedings and claims which arise in the ordinary course of its business and/or which are covered by insurance.  The Company has accrued reserves individually and in the aggregate for such legal proceedings.  Should actual litigation results differ from the Company’s estimates, revisions to increase or decrease the accrued reserves may be required.  There are no open matters that the Company deems material.

Item 1A.          Risk Factors

The Company is subject to a number of risks including general business and financial risk factors.  Any or all of such factors could have a material adverse effect on the business, financial condition or results of operations of the Company.  You should carefully consider the risk factors identified in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.

The Company is supplementing the risk factors previously disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 with the following risk factor:

Our results of operations may be negatively impacted by the coronavirus outbreak.

We are closely monitoring the impact of the 2019 novel coronavirus, or COVID-19, on all aspects of our business.  In March 2020, the World Health Organization characterized COVID-19 as a pandemic and the President of the United States declared the COVID-19 outbreak a national emergency.  Since then, the COVID-19 pandemic has rapidly spread across the globe and has already resulted in significant volatility, uncertainty and economic disruption.  The outbreak of COVID-19 has caused and may continue to cause travel bans or disruptions, and in some cases, prohibitions of non-essential activities, disruption and shutdown of businesses and greater uncertainty in global financial markets.  The impact of COVID-19 is fluid and uncertain, but it has caused and may continue to cause various negative effects, including an inability to meet with actual or potential customers, our end customers deciding to delay or abandon their planned purchases or failing to make payments, and delays or disruptions in our or our partners’ supply chains.  As a result, we may experience extended sales cycles, our ability to close transactions with new and existing customers and partners may be negatively impacted, and the efficiency and effect of those activities, may be negatively affected, and it has been and, until the COVID-19 outbreak is contained, will continue to be more difficult for us to forecast our operating results.  These uncertainties have, and may continue to, put pressure on global economic conditions and overall LED display spending and may cause our end customers to modify spending priorities or delay or abandon purchasing decisions, thereby lengthening sales cycles and potentially lowering prices for our solutions, and may make it difficult for us to forecast our sales and operating results and to make decisions about future investments, any of which could materially harm our business, operating results and financial condition.

Further, our management team is focused on addressing the impacts of COVID-19 on our business, which has required and will continue to require, a large investment of their time and resources and may distract our management team or disrupt our 2020 operating plans.  The extent to which COVID-19 ultimately impacts our results of operations, cash flow and financial position will depend on future developments, which are uncertain and cannot be predicted, including, but not limited to, the duration and spread of the outbreak, its severity, the actions taken by governments and authorities to contain the virus or treat its impact, and how quickly and to what extent normal economic and operating conditions can resume.  Even after the COVID-19 pandemic has subsided, we may continue to experience materially adverse impacts to our business as a result of its global economic impact, including as a result of any recession that may occur.

Note 1 –Basis of Presentation

As used in this report, “Trans-Lux,” the “Company,” “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to Trans-Lux Corporation and its subsidiaries.

Financial information included herein is unaudited, however, such information reflects all adjustments (of a normal and recurring nature), which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for the fair presentation of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the interim periods. The results for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.  The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and therefore do not include all information and footnote disclosures required under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).  The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included herein should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.  The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2019 is derived from the December 31, 2019 audited financial statements.

The following new accounting pronouncements were adopted in 2020:

In January 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2017-04, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350).  ASU 2017-04 simplifies the test for goodwill impairment.  As required by this standard, the Company adopted ASU 2018-07 on January 1, 2020.  The adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations.

Other than the foregoing changes, there have been no material changes in our significant accounting policies during the six months ended June 30, 2020 from the significant accounting policies described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, which was filed with the SEC on March 20, 2020.

The following new accounting pronouncements, and related impacts on adoption, are being evaluated by the Company:

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-14, Compensation – Retirement Benefits – Defined Benefit Plans – General (Subtopic 715-20).  ASU 2018-14 modifies the disclosure requirements for employers that sponsor defined benefit pension or other postretirement plans.  Public business entities should apply the amendments in ASU 2018-14 for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within those fiscal years (i.e., January 1, 2021).  Early application is permitted.  The Company does not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations.

Substantial Doubt about Going Concern [Text Block]

Note 2 – Going Concern

A fundamental principle of the preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP is the assumption that an entity will continue in existence as a going concern, which contemplates continuity of operations and the realization of assets and settlement of liabilities occurring in the ordinary course of business.  This principle is applicable to all entities except for entities in liquidation or entities for which liquidation appears imminent.  In accordance with this requirement, the Company has prepared its accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements assuming the Company will continue as a going concern.

Due to the onset of the coronavirus in the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company experienced delays in shipments from suppliers in Asia, followed by a brief shutdown of our manufacturing facility in Missouri, as well as a reduction in sales orders from customers.  As a result, the Company incurred a net loss of $2.4 million in the six months ended June 30, 2020 and had a working capital deficiency of $5.1 million as of June 30, 2020.

The Company is dependent on future operating performance in order to generate sufficient cash flows in order to continue to run its businesses.  Future operating performance is dependent on general economic conditions, as well as financial, competitive and other factors beyond our control, including the impact of the current economic environment, the spread of major epidemics (including coronavirus) and other related uncertainties such as government imposed travel restrictions, interruptions to supply chains and extended shut down of businesses.  In order to more effectively manage its cash resources, the Company had, from time to time, increased the timetable of its payment of some of its payables, which delayed certain product deliveries from our vendors, which in turn delayed certain deliveries to our customers.

There is substantial doubt as to whether we will have adequate liquidity, including access to the debt and equity capital markets, to operate our business over the next 12 months from the date of issuance of this Form 10-Q.  A stockholder of the Company has committed to providing additional capital up to $2.0 million, to the extent necessary to fund operations.  The Company continually evaluates the need and availability of long-term capital in order to meet its cash requirements and fund potential new opportunities.

Revenue Recognition [Line Items]

Revenue from Contract with Customer [Text Block]

Note 3 – Revenue Recognition

Revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of promised goods or services in an amount that reflects the consideration which the entity expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services.  To determine revenue recognition for arrangements that an entity determines are within the scope of this standard, the Company performs the following five steps: (i) identify the contract(s) with a customer; (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation.  The Company only applies the five-step model to contracts when it is probable that the entity will collect the consideration it is entitled to in exchange for the goods or services it transfers to the customer.  At contract inception, once the contract is determined to be within the scope of this standard, the Company assesses the goods or services promised within each contract and determines those that are performance obligations and assesses whether each promised good or service is distinct.  The Company then recognizes as revenue the amount of the transaction price that is allocated to the respective performance obligation when (or as) the performance obligation is satisfied.  Sales tax, value added tax and other taxes collected on behalf of third parties are excluded from revenue.

Contracts with customers may contain multiple performance obligations.  For such arrangements, the transaction price is allocated to each performance obligation based on the estimated relative standalone selling prices of the promised products or services underlying each performance obligation.  The Company determines standalone selling prices based on the price at which the performance obligation is sold separately.  If the standalone selling price is not observable through past transactions, the Company estimates the standalone selling price taking into account available information such as market conditions and internally approved pricing guidelines related to the performance obligations.

When determining the transaction price of a contract, an adjustment is made if payment from a customer occurs either significantly before or significantly after performance, resulting in a significant financing component.  Applying the practical expedient in paragraph 606-10-32-18, the Company does not assess whether a significant financing component exists if the period between when the Company performs its obligations under the contract and when the customer pays is one year or less.  None of the Company’s contracts contained a significant financing component as of June 30, 2020.

We recognize revenue in accordance with two different accounting standards: 1) Topic 606 and 2) Topic 842.  Under Topic 606, revenue from contracts with customers is measured based on the consideration specified in the contract with the customer, and excludes any sales incentives and amounts collected on behalf of third parties.  A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to a customer, and is the unit of account under Topic 606.  Our contracts with customers generally do not include multiple performance obligations.  We recognize revenue when we satisfy a performance obligation by transferring control over a product or service to a customer. The amount of revenue recognized reflects the consideration we expect to be entitled to in exchange for such products or services.

Performance Obligations

The Company has two primary revenue streams which are Digital product sales and Digital product lease and maintenance.

Digital Product Sales

The Company recognizes net revenue on digital product sales to its distribution partners and to end users related to digital display solutions and fixed digit scoreboards.  For the Company’s catalog products, revenue is generally recognized when the customer obtains control of the Company’s product, which occurs at a point in time, and may be upon shipment or upon delivery based on the contractual shipping terms of a contract.  For the Company’s customized products, revenue is either recognized at a point in time or over time depending on the size of the contract.  For those customized product contracts that are smaller in size, revenue is generally recognized when the customer obtains control of the Company’s product, which occurs at a point in time, and may be upon shipment or upon delivery based on the contractual shipping terms of a contract.  For those customized product contracts that are larger in size, revenue is recognized over time based on incurred costs as compared to projected costs using the input method, as this best reflects the Company’s progress in transferring control of the customized product to the customer.  The Company may also contract with a customer to perform installation services of digital display products.  Similar to the larger customized products, the Company recognizes the revenue associated with installation services using the input method, whereby the basis is the total contract costs incurred to date compared to the total expected costs to be incurred.

Revenue on sales to distribution partners are recorded net of prompt-pay discounts, if offered, and other deductions.  To the extent the transaction price includes variable consideration, the Company estimates the amount of variable consideration that should be included in the transaction price utilizing the most likely amount method to which the Company expects to be entitled.  In the case of prompt-pay discounts, there are only two possible outcomes: either the customer pays on-time or does not.  Variable consideration is included in the transaction price if, in the Company’s judgment, it is probable that a significant future reversal of cumulative revenue under the contract will not occur.  Determination of whether to include estimated amounts in the transaction price are based largely on an assessment of the Company’s anticipated performance and all information (historical, current and forecasted) that is reasonably available.  The Company believes that the estimates it has established are reasonable based upon current facts and circumstances.  Applying different judgments to the same facts and circumstances could result in the estimated amounts to vary.  The Company offers an assurance-type warranty that the digital display products will conform to the published specifications.  Returns may only be made subject to this warranty and not for convenience.

Digital Product Lease and Maintenance

Digital product lease revenues represent revenues from leasing equipment that we own.  We do not generally provide an option for the lessee to purchase the rented equipment at the end of the lease and do not generate material revenue from sales of equipment under such options.  Our lease revenues do not include material amounts of variable payments.  Digital product maintenance revenues represent revenues from maintenance agreements for equipment that we do not own.  Lease and maintenance contracts generally run for periods of one month to 10 years.  A contract entered into by the Company with a customer may contain both lease and maintenance services (either or both services may be agreed upon based on the individual customer contract).  Maintenance services may consist of providing labor, parts and software maintenance as may be required to maintain the customer’s equipment in proper operating condition at the customer’s service location.  The Company concluded the lease and maintenance services represent a series of distinct services and the most representative method for measuring progress towards satisfying the performance obligation of these services is the input method.  Additionally, maintenance services require the Company to “stand ready” to provide support to the customer when and if needed.  As there is no discernable pattern of efforts other than evenly over the lease and maintenance terms, the Company will recognize revenue straight-line over the lease and maintenance terms of service.

The Company has an enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date, as evidenced by the requirement that the customer pay upfront for each month of services. Lease and maintenance service amounts billed ahead of revenue recognition are recorded in deferred revenue and are included in accrued liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Revenues from equipment lease and maintenance contracts are recognized during the term of the respective agreements.  At June 30, 2020, the future minimum lease payments due to the Company under operating leases that expire at varying dates through 2030 for its rental equipment and maintenance contracts, assuming no renewals of existing leases or any new leases, aggregating $1,987,000 are as follows:  $301,000 – remainder of 2020, $496,000 – 2021, $320,000 – 2022, $249,000 – 2023, $177,000 – 2024 and $444,000 thereafter.

Contract Balances with Customers

Contract assets primarily relate to rights to consideration for goods or services transferred to the customer when the right is conditional on something other than the passage of time.  The contract assets are transferred to the receivables when the rights become unconditional.  As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company had no contract assets.  The contract liabilities primarily relate to the advance consideration received from customers for contracts prior to the transfer of control to the customer and therefore revenue is recognized on completion of delivery.  Contract liabilities are classified as deferred revenue by the Company and are included in customer deposits and accrued liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The following table presents the balances in the Company’s receivables and contract liabilities with customers:

In thousands	June 30, 2020		December 31, 2019
Gross receivables	$	2,564	$	3,124
Allowance for bad debts		809		743
Net receivables		1,755		2,381
Contract liabilities		921		230

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, the Company recognized the following revenues as a result of changes in the contract asset and the contract liability balances in the respective periods:

	Three months ended				Six months ended
In thousands	June 30, 2020		June 30, 2019		June 30, 2020		June 30, 2019
Revenue recognized in the period from:
Amounts included in the contract liability at the   beginning of the period	$	28	$	149	$	82	$	350
Performance obligations satisfied in previous periods   (for example, due to changes in transaction price)		-		-		-		-

Transaction Price Allocated to Future Performance Obligations – alternative more qualitative presentation

Remaining performance obligations represents the transaction price of contracts for which work has not been performed (or has been partially performed).  The guidance provides certain practical expedients that limit this requirement and, therefore, the Company does not disclose the value of unsatisfied performance obligations for (i) contracts with an original expected length of one year or less and (ii) contracts for which revenue is recognized at the amount to which the Company has the right to invoice for services performed.  As of June 30, 2020, the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations for digital product sales was $2.6 million and digital product lease and maintenance was $2.0 million. 

The Company expects to recognize revenue on approximately 71%, 14% and 15% of the remaining performance obligations over the next 12 months, 13 to 36 months and 37 or more months, respectively.

Costs to Obtain or Fulfill a Customer Contract

The Company capitalizes incremental costs of obtaining customer contracts.  Capitalized commissions are amortized based on the transfer of the products or services to which the assets relate.  Applying the practical expedient in paragraph 340-40-25-4, the Company recognizes the incremental costs of obtaining contracts as an expense when incurred if the amortization period of the assets that the Company otherwise would have recognized is one year or less.  These costs are included in General and administrative expenses.

The Company accounts for shipping and handling activities related to contracts with customers as costs to fulfill the promise to transfer the associated products.  When shipping and handling costs are incurred after a customer obtains control of the products, the Company also has elected to account for these as costs to fulfill the promise and not as a separate performance obligation.  Shipping and handling costs associated with the distribution of finished products to customers are recorded in costs of goods sold and are recognized when the related finished product is shipped to the customer.

On September 16, 2019, the Company entered into the Loan Agreement with MidCap.  On June 3, 2020, the Company and MidCap entered into a modification agreement to the Loan Agreement.  The Loan Agreement has a term of three years, unless earlier terminated by the parties in accordance with the termination provisions of the Loan Agreement.  The Loan Agreement allows the Company to borrow up to an aggregate of $4.0 million at an interest rate of the 3-month LIBOR interest rate plus 4.75% (6.18% at June 30, 2020) on a revolving credit loan based on accounts receivable, inventory and equipment for general working capital purposes.  As of June 30, 2020, the balance outstanding under the Loan Agreement was $373,000.  The Loan Agreement also requires the payment of certain fees, including a facility fee, an unused credit line fee and a collateral monitoring charge.  The Loan Agreement contains financial and other covenant requirements, including financial covenants that require the Borrowers to attain certain EBITDA amounts for certain periods, the first of which is for the three months ended September 30, 2020.  The Loan Agreement is secured by substantially all of the Borrowers’ assets.

On April 23, 2020, the Company entered into a loan note (the “Loan Note”) with Enterprise Bank and Trust (“Lender”) as lender under the CARES Act of the Small Business Administration of the United States of America (“SBA”), dated as of April 20, 2020.  Under the Loan Note, the Company borrowed $810,800 from Lender under the Payment Protection Program (“PPP”) included in the SBA’s CARES Act, all of which is outstanding as of June 30, 2020.  As of June 30, 2020, the Company had accrued $2,000 of interest related to the Loan Note, which is included in Accrued liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.    The Loan Note proceeds are forgivable after eight weeks as long as the Company uses the loan proceeds for eligible purposes including payroll costs, including salaries, commissions, and similar compensation, group health care benefits, and paid leave; rent; utilities; and maintains its payroll levels.  The amount of the loan forgiveness will be reduced if the borrower terminates employees or reduces salaries during the eight week period.  The unforgiven portion of the PPP loan is payable over two years at an interest rate of 1.00%, with a deferral of payments for the first six months.  While the Company believes that its use of the loan proceeds will meet the conditions of forgiveness of the loan, we cannot assure you that we will not take actions that could cause the Company to be ineligible for forgiveness of the loan, in whole or in part.

The Company has a $500,000 loan from Carlisle Investments Inc. (“Carlisle”) at a fixed interest rate of 12.00%, which matured on April 27, 2019 with a bullet payment of all principal due at such time.  Interest is payable monthly.  Carlisle has agreed to not demand payment on the loan through at least December 31, 2020.  As of June 30, 2020, the entire amount was outstanding and is included in current portion of long-term debt in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.  As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company had accrued $150,000 and $120,000, respectively, of interest related to this loan, which are included in accrued liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.  Marco Elser, a former director of the Company, exercises voting and dispositive power as investment manager of Carlisle.

The Company has an additional $500,000 loan from Carlisle at a fixed interest rate of 12.00%, which matured on December 10, 2017 with a bullet payment of all principal due at such time (the “Second Carlisle Agreement”).  Interest is payable monthly.  Carlisle has agreed to not demand payment on the loan through at least December 31, 2020.  As of June 30, 2020, the entire amount was outstanding and is included in current portion of long-term debt Consolidated Balance Sheets.  As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company had accrued $150,000 and $120,000, respectively, of interest related to this loan, which are included in accrued liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.  Under the Second Carlisle Agreement, the Company granted a security interest to Carlisle in accounts receivable, materials and intangibles relating to a certain purchase order for equipment issued in April 2017.

Lessee, Operating Leases [Text Block]

Note 9 –Leases

The Company leases administrative and manufacturing facilities through operating lease agreements. The Company has no finance leases as of June 30, 2020.  Our leases include both lease (e.g., fixed payments including rent) and non-lease components (e.g., common area or other maintenance costs). The facility leases include one or more options to renew.  The exercise of lease renewal options is typically at our sole discretion, therefore, the renewals to extend the lease terms are not included in our right of use (“ROU”) assets or lease liabilities as they are not reasonably certain of exercise.  We regularly evaluate the renewal options and, when they are reasonably certain of exercise, we include the renewal period in our lease term.

Operating leases result in the recognition of ROU assets and lease liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.  ROU assets represent our right to use the leased asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments.  Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term.  As most of our leases do not provide an implicit rate, we use our estimated incremental borrowing rate at the commencement date to determine the present value of lease payments.  Most real estate leases include one or more options to renew, with renewal terms that can extend the lease term from 1 to 5 years or more.  Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.  Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.  The primary leases we enter into with initial terms of 12 months or less are for equipment.

	Three months ended June 30				Six months ended June 30
In thousands, except per share data	2020		2019		2020		2019
Numerator:
Net loss, as reported	$	(1,353)	$	(365)	$	(2,396)	$	(888)
Change in dividends accumulated on preferred shares		-		(3)		-		(38)

Basic and diluted loss per share	$	(0.10)	$	(0.03)	$	(0.17)	$	(0.10)

Basic loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to common shares by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period.  Diluted loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to common shares, by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding, adjusted for shares that would be assumed outstanding after warrants and stock options vested under the treasury stock method.

At June 30, 2020, the Company had no accumulated unpaid dividends related to the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (“SBCPS”).  At June 30, 2019, the Company had accumulated unpaid dividends of $5,000 related to the SBCPS.

As of June 30, 2020, the Company had no shares of SBCPS outstanding.  As of June 30, 2019, the Company had 648 shares of SBCPS outstanding, which were convertible into 64,800 shares of Common Stock, none of which were used in the calculation of diluted loss per share because their conversion price was greater than the average share price for the period and their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.  For each holder of the 15,864 shares of SBCPS that converted their shares into Common Stock in March 2019, the Company declared a dividend of $4.60 per share of SBCPS on March 29, 2019, aggregating $73,000, which was distributed to these former holders of the SBCPS on April 2, 2019.

As of June 30, 2020 and 2019, the Company had warrants to purchase 250,000 shares of Common Stock outstanding which were included in the calculation of diluted loss per share because their exercise price was less than the average stock price for the period so their inclusion was dilutive.  As of June 30, 2020 and 2019, the Company had other warrants to purchase 500,000 shares and 10,000 shares, respectively, of Common Stock outstanding, which were excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per share because their exercise price was greater than the average stock price for the period and their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.  The remaining warrants to purchase 500,000 shares could be dilutive in the future if the average share price increases and is greater than the exercise price of these warrants.

On June 4, 2020, the Company entered into a Contract Manufacturing Agreement (the “CMA”) with Craftsmen Industries Inc. (“Craftsmen”).  The CMA commenced June 15, 2020 and the initial term terminates December 31, 2020.  The CMA allows for renewal terms of 180 days each.  Under the CMA, Craftsmen shall manufacture and supply goods and provide all necessary labor, materials, management expertise, and oversight necessary to manufacture the goods at the Company’s manufacturing facility located in Hazelwood, Missouri.  The Company shall provide Craftsmen assistance to the manufacturing process, the technical details as well as the amount of goods to be produced.  The CMA provides that all payments owed by the Company to Craftsmen under the CMA are secured by a second lien on company assets and have been guaranteed by Unilumin USA LLC (“Unilumin USA”).  Unilumin USA is wholly owned by Unilumin North America, who owns 52% of the Company’s outstanding Common Stock.  In connection with the Unilumin Guarantee in the CMA, the Company issued warrants (the “Warrants”) to purchase 500,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock to Unilumin USA at an exercise price of $1.00 per share.  The Warrants are exercisable until June 4, 2024.  The Company calculated the fair value of the Warrants as $94,000 utilizing the Black-Scholes method, using a volatility of 151% and a risk free rate of 0.28%.  The Company recorded an expense of $94,000 in general and administrative expenses in June 2020.

Note 14 –Business Segment Data

Operating segments are based on the Company’s business components about which separate financial information is available and are evaluated regularly by the Company’s chief operating decision makers in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance of the business.

The Company evaluates segment performance and allocates resources based upon operating income (loss). The Company’s operations are managed in two reportable business segments: Digital product sales and Digital product lease and maintenance.  Both design and produce large-scale, multi-color, real-time digital displays.  Both operating segments are conducted on a global basis, primarily through operations in the United States.  The Company also has operations in Canada.  The Digital product sales segment sells equipment and the Digital product lease and maintenance segment leases and maintains equipment.  Corporate general and administrative items relate to costs that are not directly identifiable with a segment.  There are no intersegment sales.

Foreign revenues represent less than 10% of the Company’s revenues in 2020 and 2019.  The Company’s foreign operation does not manufacture its own equipment; the domestic operation provides the equipment that the foreign operation leases or sells.  The foreign operation operates similarly to the domestic operation and has similar profit margins.  Foreign assets are immaterial.

Information about the Company’s operations in its two business segments for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 is as follows:
