Item 1. Business.

 

Overview

 

On December 31, 2017, we completedReferences herein to “CCUR Holdings,” the sale of our content delivery“Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our” refer to CCUR Holdings, Inc. and storage business (the “Content Delivery business”)its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis, unless the context specifically indicates otherwise.

We are a holding company owning and other related assetsseeking to Vecima Networks, Inc. (“Vecima”) pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement dated as of October 13, 2017 (the “CDN APA”) between the Company and Vecima. Substantially all assets and liabilities associated with the Content Delivery business were assigned to Vecima as part of the transaction. The Content Delivery business provided advanced applications focused on storing, protecting, transforming, and delivering high value media assets and served industries and customers that demand uncompromising performance, reliability and flexibility to gain a competitive edge, drive meaningful growth and confidently deliver best-in-class solutions that enrich the lives of millions of people around the world every day. The Content Delivery business consisted of (1) software, hardware and services for intelligently streaming video content toown subsidiaries engaged in a variety of consumer devices and storing and managing content in the network and (2) Aquari™ Storage, a unified scale-out storage solutions product that is ideally suited for a wide range of enterprise IT and video applications. Results of our Content Delivery business are retrospectively reflected as a discontinued operation in our consolidated financial statements for all periods presented (see Note 4 to the consolidated financial statements). Unless otherwise noted, discussion of our business and results of operations in this Annual Report on Form 10-K refers to our continuing operations.

In May 2017, we sold our Real-Time business consisting of real-time Linux operating system versions, development and performance optimization tools, simulation software and other system software combined to Real-Time, Inc. (the “RT Purchaser”) pursuant to an Asset and Share Purchase Agreement (the “RT APA”). These real-time products were sold to a wide variety of companies seeking high performance, real-time computer solutions in the defense, aerospace, financial and automotive markets around the world. Results of our Real-Time business are retrospectively reflected as a discontinued operation in our consolidated financial statements for all periods presented (see Note 4 to the consolidated financial statements). Unless otherwise noted, discussion of our business and results of operations in this Annual Report on Form 10-K refers to our continuing operations.

A special committee of the Board, the Investment Committee, was established upon the signing of the CDN APA for the purpose of considering alternative means to deploy the proceeds of the sale of the Content Delivery business and other corporate assets to maximize long-term value for our stockholders. Such alternatives include, but are not limited to, evaluating opportunities to acquire all or a controlling interest in one or more operating businesses or assets intended to provide attractive returns for our stockholders and that are intended to result in appreciation in value, a more liquid trading market for our stock, and enhance our ability to utilize our existing U.S. federal net operating loss carryforwards (“NOLs”). Other than the restrictions set forth in the relevant non-competition and non-solicitation agreement executed by the Company in connection with Following the disposition of our priorlegacy operating businesses in calendar year 2017, we began identifying business alternatives to redeploy the proceeds of such divestitures. As of June 30, 2020, we had two existing operating segments: (i) Merchant cash advance (“MCA”) operations, there are no restrictions on the transactions that we can pursue, including with respect to industry sectorconducted primarily through our subsidiary LM Capital Solutions, LLC (d/b/a “LuxeMark Capital”) (“LMCS”), and geographic location.(ii) real estate operations, conducted through our subsidiary Recur Holdings LLC (“Recur”) and its subsidiaries.

 

WeAs of June 30, 2020, we held an 80% interest in LMCS, with the remaining 20% held by AZOKKB, LLC (formerly named LuxeMark Capital, LLC and herein referenced as “Old LuxeMark”). Through LMCS, we manage a network of MCA originators and syndicate participants who provide those originators with capital by purchasing participation interests in or co-funding MCA transactions. In addition, we provide loans to MCA originators, the proceeds of which are used by the MCA originators to fund MCAs. LMCS’ daily operations are led by the three principals of Old LuxeMark. CCUR provides operational, accounting and legal support to LMCS. On July 17, 2020, we entered into a series of agreements with Old LuxeMark pursuant to which our interest in LMCS was reduced from 80% to 51%. After the repayment of the outstanding balance of the Master Promissory Note issued by LMCS to the Company, Old LuxeMark has the right to purchase the remaining 51% equity interest in LMCS for nominal consideration.

Recur provides commercial loans to local, regional, and national builders, developers, and commercial landowners and also acquires, owns, and manages a portfolio of real property for development. Recur does not provide consumer mortgages.

In addition to our MCA and real estate operating segments, we actively pursuing business opportunities, including the acquisitionevaluate acquisitions of newadditional businesses or operating assets, either as well as developing and managingpart of an expansion of our current business and assets. We continually identify and evaluateoperating segments or establishment of a wide range of opportunitiesnew operating segment, in an effort to reinvest the proceeds of our calendar year 2017 business dispositions and maximize use of other assets such as our NOLs.net operating loss (“NOL”) carryforwards. We may also seek additional capital and financing to support the purchase of additional businesses and/or to provide additional working capital to further develop our operating segments. We believe that these activities will enable us to identify, acquire, and grow businesses and assets that will maximize value for all of our stockholders.

 

AsIn support of the Company’s goal of expanding its existing operations and acquiring additional operating assets, we work with our external asset manager to prudently invest the excess capital of the Company so that the capital of the Company is preserved for future acquisitions, while also generating a return for stockholders. Our external asset manager allocates the investment assets of the Company while balancing the amount of liquid resources needed to continue to expand and support our current operations. Our external asset manager has broad investment authority to invest our excess capital resources in marketable debt and equity securities and also assists in our acquisition strategy by identifying potential acquisition targets.

The global outbreak of COVID-19 was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization and a national emergency by the U.S. government in March 2020 and has negatively impacted our operations, the U.S. and global economy, disrupted global supply chains, resulted in significant travel and transport restrictions, including mandated closures and orders to “shelter-in-place,” and created significant disruption of the financial markets. The extent of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our operational and financial performance will depend on future developments, including the duration and spread of the pandemic and related actions taken by the U.S. government, state and local government officials, and international governments to prevent disease spread, all of which are uncertain and cannot be predicted.


Overall Business Strategy

Following the divestiture of our legacy operating businesses in calendar year 2017, we have undertaken to evaluate strategic acquisitions of additional businesses or operating assets, either as part of thisan expansion of our current operating segments or establishment of a new operating segment, in an effort to reinvest the proceeds of our calendar year 2017 business dispositions and maximize use of other assets such as our NOL carryforwards. These alternatives have included acquiring assets or businesses unrelated to our current or historical operations; operating, growing, or acquiring additional assets or businesses related to our current or historical operations; or winding down or selling our existing operations. We currently operate two segments in the real estate and MCA industries. We continue to look for businesses and opportunities that have positive cash flow and experienced management teams. We provide strategic and financial resources to our operating segments in an effort to create and operate a diversified portfolio capable of providing long-term value to our stockholders, which we believe includes the successful utilization of our deferred tax assets.

We actively evaluate business opportunities including acquisitions of additional businesses or operating assets, either as part of an expansion of our current operating segments or for the establishment of new operating segments. We seek to identify fairly- or under-valued businesses or assets from a variety of sources. Our Asset Management Committee, among other activities, continues the work of the former Investment Committee by providing oversight of the Company’s acquisition process, and our senior management spends a significant portion of its time evaluating potential acquisition and strategic opportunities. In addition, in February 2019, the Company entered into a management agreement (the “Management Agreement”), as amended, with CIDM LLC, which was subsequently assigned to CIDM II, LLC (“CIDM” or the “Asset Manager”) under which CIDM provides consulting services and advice to the Board of Directors and the Company’s management regarding, among other things, our acquisition strategy. Our external asset manager also invests some of the excess capital resources of the Company in marketable debt, and equity securities to preserve resources needed to acquire operating assets and protect against inflation and similar risks. The Asset Manager is an entity managed by Julian Singer, the managing member of JDS1, LLC, our largest stockholder.

In connection with our overall business strategy, we may raise capital in the form of debt or equity securities (including preferred stock) or a combination thereof as part of any proposed acquisition that we may pursue, or to use as additional investment in or working capital for our existing operating segments. We have received referrals with respect to and have performed due diligence assessments on multiple target companies and strategic opportunities in a variety of industries.  We work with several financial advisors and consultantsdo not focus on a non-exclusive basis and have been able to filter leads and referrals through diverse channels enablingspecific industry, which, we believe, allows us to review a wide range of opportunities in a variety of industries. We have not focused our acquisitionbe opportunistic and strategic efforts on any specific industry, focusing instead on identifying well-priced businesses and assets that we believe have significant growth potential.flexible.

 

Competition

Our acquisition processcontinuing business strategy is focused on identifying, acquiring, and operating fairly- to under-valued businessesbusinesses that have growth potential. Due to current market conditions, we have faced significant competition from strategic and, in particular, financial buyers which, in many instances, havehas raised seller valuation expectations above what we consider to be attractive levels for us and our stockholders. Further, the increasing use of special purpose acquisition vehicles has created more competition for us as we seek to leverage the advantages generated by being a public company. We continue to believe that additional fairly- and under-valued opportunities exist and are attainable, and we do not intend to pursue what we consider to be overvaluedover-valued businesses and assets that we believe may not deliver the levels of returns that we target.

Real Estate Operations

 

In addition toThe Company began developing its pursuitreal estate operations during the second half of acquisition opportunities the Investment Committee is tasked with creating operating activities and businesses that will enhance stockholder value. To that end, during fiscal year 2018 the Company began developing aand operates its real estate operation initiallysegment through making a numberRecur. To date, Recur’s operations have consisted of providing commercial loans secured by real property. Based on the success of these activities, including the yield characteristics of these loans,property and management’s experienceinvesting in thedevelopment opportunities in selected markets, primarily where we have access to experienced real estate area,resources. We continue to seek and identify real estate opportunities that we believe offer attractive returns over 12- to 18-month periods and expect to continue to make such investments for the foreseeable future.

Commercial Real Estate Finance Operation

Our real estate operations are operated through Recur and through fiscal year 2020 have primarily consisted of making a number of loans secured by real property. At June 30, 2020, real estate loans totaling approximately $1.7 million remained outstanding under Recur’s loan portfolio. The loans are scheduled to mature at various dates throughout our fiscal year ending June 30, 2021. We do not make consumer mortgage loans.


While the Company recently created Recur Holdings LLC,is continuing to review a Delaware limited liability company wholly owned by the Company, through which the Company will holdvariety of loan opportunities and manage its existing and future real estate operations. At this time the Company doesexpects to continue to make loans on an opportunistic basis, we do not expect anythere to be a significant increase in general overhead expenses for its real estateassociated with the continuation of these operations, as its existingour management team has significantprior experience in this sector and believes theyit can manage the business without adding additional staffing resources. The Company will continue to seek out these types of transactions to increase our profitability within our commercial real estate finance operation.

Real Property Development

The Company is also involved in identifying, acquiring, entitling, and selling real property as part of Recur’s real estate operations. Through a variety of resources available to the Company in selected markets, the Company is presented with opportunities to purchase real property for development as either residential, commercial, or mixed-use projects. Drawing upon internal and external resources, the Company focuses on parcels of real property that are suitable for development but are not currently entitled for the desired end uses. The Company has demonstrated the ability to identify, evaluate, and consummate the acquisition of such parcels on an expedited basis. We believe that this ability and the strength of our financial condition position the Company in a favorable light when dealing with landowners, resulting in the Company being able to acquire such parcels at or below fair market value. By undertaking and performing the entitlement process, which involves, in most instances, rezoning, utility access, planning, and other governmental and quasi-governmental approvals, we strive to increase the value of the parcels we purchase, and hold such parcels for sale to end users such as national, regional, and local builders and developers, as well as other commercial entities. As of June 30, 2020, we have capitalized approximately $3.6 million of land under development on our balance sheet. As these operations grow, we plan to leverage our contactsinternal and external resources and potential strategic partnerships to help source continued opportunities for this business.

To date, we have funded our real estate operations primarily from our balance sheet with cash on hand. As a part of itswe continue to grow our real estate operations, the Company plans towill also continue to assessreview the use of its cash and other financing alternatives available to it in an effort to finance this operation in the most cost-effective manner. Such review will include an assessment of the details of each project, including the estimated duration of the project and an assessment of current interest rates and other opportunities to create value throughdeploy the Company’s cash that are presented to the Company outside of its real estate segment.

Competition

Our real property ownership,development business is dependent on our ability to identify suitable parcels of real property, in the markets in which we operate, that can be entitled and sold for their intended use at a premium to our purchase prices. To date, we have focused our real property development efforts in North Carolina. Given the robust nature of the North Carolina real estate market in general, we face competition from a variety of sources including local and regional developers as well as national, regional, and local builders. While these parties are also customers for our properties once they are entitled, several of these entities have internal resources greater than those of the Company and are potentially capable of identifying and acquiring such properties.

MCA Business

The Company operates its MCA business through LMCS. MCAs have evolved as an alternative capital source primarily for small businesses and LMCS generates multiple revenue streams within the MCA industry. In a typical MCA, a merchant sells an amount of its future receivables, expected to be generated from future sales, to an MCA originator (also referred to as a “funder”) at a discount in exchange for a lump sum payment from the funder. The merchant then remits a portion of its sales receipts, or an amount equal to this portion, often daily, via automated clearing house (“ACH”) transfer, until the funder has received the full amount of the future receipts it has purchased. MCA funders often offer a streamlined application and approval process in connection with the provision of MCAs, making them a widely used alternative financing and/source for small businesses.

MCAs are not structured as loans or development,sales of securities; instead, they are structured as sales and purchases of assets, specifically future receivables, and the assignment of rights related to such assets. Small businesses typically seek these advances for working capital purposes to finance purchases of inventory or equipment, or to address other immediate business needs.


Funding of MCAs

In December 2018, CCUR Holdings began participating in the MCA industry by indirectly advancing funds to merchants through a third-party originator that is a leader in the MCA industry. As a part of our acquisition of the assets of Old LuxeMark (the “LuxeMark Acquisition”), the CCUR Holdings MCA portfolio was assigned to LMCS and was credited against a $10.4 million loan that CCUR Holdings provided to LMCS as a part of the transaction. LMCS continues to generate income through its evolving MCA portfolio and to use funds from CCUR Holdings’ loan to, among other strategies.things, purchase additional MCA interests. The Company intendsintercompany loan matures in February 2024 and bears interest at the minimum applicable federal rate for mid-term investments.

Syndication/Co-Funding Business

We have observed a strong demand by small businesses for MCAs and believe that this demand will continue, although the COVID-19 pandemic has led to continuea deterioration of liquidity across many existing MCA customers and modification of underwriting standards for new customers. Among all of the small businesses surveyed in the 2019 Small Business Credit Survey, 32% of those applying for funding applied to buildnon-bank funding sources, including MCA originators and other non-traditional sources, such as retail/payments processors or peer-to-peer lenders, an increase from 24% in 2017 and 19% in 2016. The increased difficulty for small businesses in accessing traditional bank loans after the 2008 recession was addressed in some part by smaller banks but, according to the Merchant Cash Advance/Small Business Financing Industry Report published by Bryan Capital LLC in January 2016, the decline in the number of small banks over recent years and data technology advancements have propelled the alternative funding market, including MCAs. These factors have contributed to the expansion of the MCA market beyond providing funding to businesses with high risk profiles.

A frequent issue experienced within the MCA industry is finding enough capital to meet the strong merchant demand for alternative financing sources. LMCS has found an opportunity to fill that niche by connecting syndicate participants that have available capital with funders that have established high-quality MCA processes and procedures and need capital to meet merchant demands. As a part of the LuxeMark Acquisition, the principals of Old LuxeMark operate LMCS day to day, providing LMCS with their MCA expertise to vet and select funders with underwriting, servicing, and collection processes necessary to provide syndicate participants with the best opportunities to provide capital in the MCA space.

LMCS receives compensation for its administrative and servicing functions such as assisting with the purchase of MCA participation interests in funder facilities, identifying potential facilities based on a syndicate participant’s criteria, providing consultation in connection with the negotiation of related agreements, and assisting with status reports and other reporting requests.

Leads Business

LMCS facilitates the targeted dissemination of funders’ merchant applications within a select group of partner funders, giving the group of funders the ability to fund MCAs that might otherwise have remained unfunded, thus providing merchants a higher chance of securing funding. LMCS receives a fee from funders for its current operationsservices in disseminating unfunded MCA applications.

Funder Loans

LMCS has also, in certain instances, provided direct funding to funders through secured loans. Providing funders with access to these additional funds provides several measurable benefits; specifically, it (i) provides the funder with the capital needed to identify and fund additional MCAs, which in turn also generates greater participation opportunities for our syndicate participants, (ii) provides us with interest income as an additional revenue stream, and (iii) provides us with a competitive advantage by furthering our business relationships with selected funders.

Competition

We face competition from providers of other competing forms of alternative funding that target the same type of small businesses served by the MCA industry and may also compete for use of the capital of potential syndication participants interested in deploying capital in the alternative funding market. While the MCA industry has grown beyond meeting the needs of high-risk businesses and become more well known within the alternative funding market, some of the initial stigma and hesitation towards MCAs remains, and this may provide a competitive advantage to providers of other forms of alternative funding.


We do not currently operate as a funder that originates MCAs. However, because our services are connected to our partner network of funders, other funders in the MCA industry can create a competitive risk for our funders and thus our business. The decreasing stigma and recognition of the critical needs of small businesses met by MCA funding has made it an attractive area for well-recognized companies that have not traditionally participated in the alternative funding market. Some of these companies have created MCA divisions to provide MCA funding as a complementary service to their existing small business customers. For example, Shopify (NYSE: SHOP), a publicly traded e-commerce platform that offers multiple products and services to merchant businesses such as a payment system, has begun offering MCAs to its newly formed subsidiary whilemerchant customers. According to the Merchant Cash Advance/Small Business Financing Industry Report published by Bryant Capital LLC in January 2016, providers of payment processing and financial services like PayPal (NASDAQ:PYPL), Square (NYSE:SQ) and Intuit (NASDAQ: INTU) have also started experimenting with MCA or other small loan or advance offerings to their respective small business customers.

As noted above, a significant issue within the MCA industry is procuring enough capital to meet merchant demand for MCAs. The entry of larger and established companies to the MCA market provides these companies with the advantage of (i) established name recognition, (ii) an existing merchant customer base that can be readily accessed for MCA offerings, potentially producing more volume and reducing third party fees owed for merchant advertising and recruiting, (iii) easier access to capital to support significant MCA volume, (iv) increased access to merchants’ financial and payment data, and (v) in the event that regulatory changes cause significant structural changes to the MCA industry (as discussed herein in the “Risk Factors” section), these companies may have greater resources in place to quickly adapt to such changes or be able to absorb the costs of such changes.

While the entry of established companies into the MCA market may increase the competition faced by our business, it continuesalso provides a discernable benefit as these companies bring increased credibility and attention to evaluate acquisitionthe MCA industry and strategic opportunities (insidehighlight the availability of MCAs as a viable funding source to a broader array of small businesses.

Effect of Governmental Regulations

The MCA industry is subject to laws and regulations that apply to businesses in general, including laws and regulations that address information privacy, unfair or outsidedeceptive acts or practices, and credit reporting, among other legal requirements.

Because MCAs are structured as purchases and sales of assets, instead of loans, the real estate sector).MCA industry has not historically been subject to specific laws and regulations, such as licensing requirements, applicable to lenders. Recently, however, there has been increased legislative and regulatory scrutiny of the MCA industry, which could result in the enactment of specific laws and regulations.

In 2018, for example, the governor of California signed SB 1235, which requires MCA originators to disclose to the merchant certain information regarding the MCA, including the total dollar cost of the MCA expressed as an annualized rate, at the time an offer for the MCA is extended. In some other states, regulators have begun investigations to determine whether regulation is needed and, if so, the type of regulation needed for the MCA industry. The Federal Trade Commission, pursuant to its authority to regulate unfair or deceptive acts or practices, has also begun a review of the MCA industry to identify potential regulatory concerns. Any resulting regulation may require us to make significant changes to our business structure or may decrease the revenues achieved through our multiple MCA-related revenue streams.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.Factors

 

The following are various material risks we currently face. You should carefully consider each of the following risks and all of the other information in this Annual Report on Form 10-K before investing in our securities. If any of the following risks and uncertainties developsdevelop into actual events, our business, financial condition, and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected. If that happens, the trading prices of our common stock and other securities we may issue in the future could decline significantly. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also harm our business.

 

The risk factors below contain forward-looking statements regarding CCUR.CCUR Holdings. Actual results could differ materially from those set forth in the forward-looking statements. See “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” on page 1.Statements.”

General Business Risks

 

$1.45 millionThe COVID-19 pandemic and resulting impact on economic activity has negatively impacted our business, financial condition, and results of operations, and may continue to do so in the net proceeds that we received from the sale of the Content Delivery business remains subject to uncertainties.future.

 

PursuantThe emergence of the global COVID-19 pandemic has significantly increased the risks to our business, as the pandemic and the response to the CDN APA, $1.45 millionpandemic have disrupted business activity in our operating markets, caused large amounts of volatility in credit and capital markets, and led to an abrupt contraction in the U.S. economy. The pandemic has made it more difficult for the Company to achieve its business plan to expand its operations in the short-term due to our reduced and delayed ability to invest liquid resources into MCAs and real estate assets or consummate additional acquisitions of businesses or assets, and may continue to do so in the future.

In support of the purchase price payableCompany’s goal of expanding its existing operations and acquiring additional operating assets, we work with our external asset manager on asset allocation and balancing the amount of liquid resources needed to continue to expand and support our MCA and real estate operations while also preserving adequate resources for additional acquisitions. Due to the factors discussed above, in an attempt to balance various risks, the Company may find it necessary to make temporary adjustments to our asset allocation strategy while we continue to assess the impact of the pandemic on our business. For example, if there is a continuing reduction in opportunities to fund MCAs because, among other reasons, many originators limit MCAs to essential services businesses and create tighter underwriting requirements, our ability to allocate assets to MCAs at historical levels, or at optimal levels for our strategy, may be limited.

Similarly, restrictions on travel, lower business confidence, and generally higher levels of uncertainty has made it more difficult and delayed our ability to develop real estate for sale and to complete due diligence on attractive businesses or assets that we identify, and may continue to do so in the future. Although we continue to develop real estate for sale and are actively engaged in the evaluation of several potential acquisition targets, delay in the related processes caused by Vecima at closing has been placed into escrowthe COVID-19 pandemic may require us to preserve liquid resources for a longer period. The Asset Manager invests our liquid resources in marketable securities to preserve resources needed to acquire operating assets and isprotect against inflation and similar risks. While helping us preserve our liquid resources, holding our excess liquid resources in marketable securities also presents risks we must balance, such as market volatility, which renders the fair value of our securities subject to loss, in wholeincreased fluctuation and makes it harder to forecast and anticipate the value of our securities as of any certain date, and compliance risks, such as being deemed an inadvertent investment company, which would subject us to burdensome restrictions that would limit our activities or in part after the closing, if Vecima successfully asserts claims for indemnification pursuantcould lead to the indemnification provisionsliquidation of investments at times of inopportune market conditions.


The extent to which the pandemic impacts our business, financial condition, and results of operations will depend on numerous evolving factors that cannot be predicted with certainty, including the duration and severity of the CDN APA. Furthermore,COVID-19 pandemic; the actions of governments, businesses, and individuals taken in response to the pandemic; the impact of the pandemic on our clients and their demand for the services we provide; the impact on credit and capital markets; and the impact on general economic activity, consumer and business confidence, and discretionary spending. Further, a sustained economic downturn may also result in the carrying value of our reporting segments and tangible and intangible assets exceeding their fair value, which may require us to recognize further impairments to those assets. These or other factors related to the pandemic which we cannot anticipate may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operation.

We incurred net losses in the past and may incur further losses in the future.

We incurred losses from continuing operations of $6.8 million and $4.7 million in fiscal years ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. While we had income from continuing operations of $13.0 million and $0.6 million in the fiscal years ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, as of June 30, 2020, we had an accumulated deficit of approximately $143.1 million. We may have difficulty sustaining profitable operations and we may have unforeseen liabilities and expenses that must be satisfied fromincur additional net losses in the after-tax net proceeds of the Content Delivery business sale, leaving less to fund our continuing operations.future.

The CDN APACompany may expose usbe classified as an inadvertent investment company if we acquire investment securities in excess of 40% of our total assets.

We are engaged in the business of being a diversified holding company engaged in significant finance and real estate activities while we continue to contingent liabilitiesseek to acquire or establish other finance or operating businesses or assets. Our acquisition strategy focuses on evaluating acquisition targets that have reasonable growth prospects and that could benefit from our substantial NOLs, and our management spends a significant portion of its time reviewing potential acquisitions, conducting due diligence, and seeking to negotiate transaction terms. From time to time, we have purchased investment securities as part of a deliberate strategy to obtain control of an operating business.

Under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “ICA”), a company may fall within the scope of being an “inadvertent investment company” under Section 3(a)(1)(C) of the ICA if the value of its investment securities (as defined in the ICA) is more than 40% of the company’s total assets on an unconsolidated basis (exclusive of government securities and cash and cash equivalents). We do not believe that we are engaged in the business of investing, reinvesting, or trading in securities, and we do not hold ourselves out as being engaged in the business of investing, reinvesting, or trading in securities. However, with the assistance of the Asset Manager, we seek prudently to hold excess liquid resources in marketable securities to preserve resources needed to acquire operating businesses or assets and fund our finance and real estate activities.

The Board of Directors and management regularly monitor the Company’s status relative to the inadvertent investment company test under the ICA and believe that the Company is not, currently or as of June 30, 2020, an inadvertent investment company based on the assets test under Section 3(a)(1)(C) of the ICA. The effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and resulting economic downturn have adversely impacted the Company’s acquisition activities due to the reduced level of merger and acquisition activity and the difficulty for buyers and sellers to agree on valuations and transaction terms.

If we were deemed to be an inadvertent investment company and determined to or were required to become a registered investment company, we would be subject to burdensome and costly compliance requirements and restrictions that would limit our activities, including limitations on our capital structure, additional corporate governance requirements, and other limitations on our ability to transact business as currently conducted. We do not believe that it would be practical or feasible for a company of our size, management, and financial resources to operate as a registered investment company. To avoid being deemed an inadvertent investment company or becoming a registered investment company, we may decide or be required to sell certain of our investments on disadvantageous terms, hold a greater proportion of our investments in marketable securities in U.S. government securities or cash equivalents that have a lower rate of return than other investment securities, or make other material modifications to our business operations and strategy, any or all of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition.

We have agreed to indemnify Vecima for breachescondition, results of any representation, warranty, or covenant made by us in the CDN APA for losses arising out of or in connection with excluded assets or excluded liabilities,operations, and for certain other matters. Indemnification claims by Vecima would reduce the amount of the escrow amount that we receive upon termination of our escrow agreement and could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition. Even if the escrow amount is fully paid to us upon termination of the escrow agreement on December 31, 2018 (which amount is subject to reduction for any indemnification claims finalized or pending), we will still be subject to direct payment of any subsequent indemnification claims, if any, permitted under the CDN APA. Other than in the event of fraud or willful misconduct, we will not be obligated to indemnify Vecima for any breach of the representations, warranties or covenants made by us under the CDN APA until the aggregate amount of claims for indemnification exceed $100 thousand. In the event that claims for indemnification for breach of representations, warranties or covenants made by us under the CDN APA exceed this threshold, we will be obligated to indemnify Vecima for any damages or loss resulting from such breach up to five percent (5%) of the final purchase price paid by Vecima pursuant to the CDN APA; provided, however, that this cap does not apply to damages or losses based on or arising out of fraud or willful misconduct.

The RT APA may expose us to contingent liabilities that could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition.

We have agreed to indemnify the RT Purchaser for breaches of any representation, warranty, or covenant made by us in the RT APA for losses arising out of or in connection with excluded assets or excluded liabilities, and for certain other matters. Indemnification claims by the RT Purchaser could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition. Other than in the event of certain specifically identified indemnification claims or claims arising from (i) intentional misrepresentations, fraud or criminal matters or (ii) breaches or inaccuracies of any fundamental representations set forth in the RT APA , we will not be obligated to indemnify the RT Purchaser for any breach of the representations, warranties or covenants made by us under the RT APA until the aggregate amount of claims for indemnification exceed $350 thousand. In the event that claims for indemnification for breach of representations, warranties or covenants made by us under the RT APA exceed this threshold, we will be obligated to indemnify the RT Purchaser for any damages or loss resulting from such breach up to $2 million, provided, however, that this cap does not apply to certain specifically identified indemnification claims and any claims arising out of fraud or breaches and inaccuracies in the fundamental representations set forth in the RT APA.future prospects.

 

Stockholders are not guaranteed any of the proceeds from the sales of the Content Delivery and Real-Time businesses.

Our Board of Directors has instructed the Investment Committee to evaluate options to maximize the value of our continuing operations and assets, including identifying potential business and asset acquisitions that provide opportunities for appreciation in value. If the Investment Committee is unable to identify suitable acquisition or asset targets that are appropriately valued or other business opportunities that will provide increased value for our continuing operations, we may consider alternatives for returning capital to stockholders while we wind up our affairs. If we wind up our affairs and liquidate under applicable law, our NOLs will be forfeited.


Management and the Board of Directors could spend or invest the Company’s capital in ways with which some of our stockholders may not agree.

Our management could spend or invest the Company’s capital in ways with which some of our stockholders may not agree. The Board of Directors may authorize such spending or investment without seeking stockholder approval to the extent permitted by applicable law, our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, amended and restated bylaws, and/or our other applicable governing documents. The investment of the Company’s capital may not yield a favorable return. Investments which yield a higher return may also subject us to incremental risk as compared to government securities or other existing investments.

Any weaknesses identified in our system of internal controls by us or by our independent registered public accounting firm pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “Sarbanes-Oxley Act”) could have an adverse effect on our business.

 

Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires that companies evaluate and report on their systems of internal control over financial reporting. In future periods, we may identify deficiencies in our system of internal control over financial reporting that may require remediation. There can be no assurances that any such future deficiencies identified will not be significant deficiencies or material weaknesses that would be required to be reported in future periods. Any control deficiency that we may identify in the future could adversely affect our stock price, results of operations, or financial condition.

We face risks associated with the trend of increased stockholder activism.

Publicly traded companies have increasingly become subject to campaigns by investors seeking to increase short-term stockholder value by advocating corporate actions such as financial restructuring, increased borrowing, special dividends, stock repurchases, or even sales of assets or of the entire company. Given our significant cash and other asset balances as of June 30, 2020, market capitalization, and other factors, it is possible that stockholders may in the future attempt to effect such changes or acquire control over us. Responding to proxy contests and other actions by activist stockholders would be costly and time-consuming, disrupt our operations, and divert the attention of our Board of Directors and senior management from the pursuit of business strategies, which could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.

A failure to detect fraud in the business could be serious.

While we are confident that we have comprehensive controls in place, there can be no assurances that all business fraud will be detected and/or thwarted. A loss related to fraud, especially an uninsured loss, could have an adverse effect on our business.

We rely extensively on various information systems to manage many aspects of our business, including to process and record our MCA transactions, to enable effective communication systems, to manage logistics, and to generate performance and financial reports. We are dependent on the integrity, security, and consistent operations of these systems and related back-up systems, software, tools, and monitoring to provide security and oversight for processing, transmission, storage, and the protection of our information.

Like other companies, we are vulnerable to the general increased threat of cybercriminals that may seek to fraudulently gain access to our systems or use false credentials, malware, ransomware, phishing, denial of service, and other types of attacks. Hardware, software, or applications we develop or obtain from third parties may contain defects in design or manufacture or other problems that are not presently known and could unexpectedly compromise information security. If we or third parties with which we do business were to fall victim to successful cyber-attacks or experience other cybersecurity incidents, we may incur substantial costs and suffer other negative consequences, which may include: remediation costs; increased cybersecurity protection costs; lost revenues resulting from the unauthorized use of proprietary information or the loss business following an attack; litigation and legal risks, including regulatory actions by state or federal governmental authorities; increased cybersecurity and other insurance premiums; reputational and competitive damage; and short- or long-term loss of stockholder value. Despite our efforts, we may not be effective in protecting against cyberattacks or be able to immediately detect any such attacks, as attack methods of and vulnerabilities exploited by cybercriminals consistently evolve. We may experience increased costs associated with maintaining and updating our systems to remain aligned with current vulnerabilities.


Tax-Related Risks

Fluctuations in our future effective tax rates could affect our future operating results, financial condition, and cash flows.

We are required to review our deferred tax assets periodically and determine whether, based on available evidence, a valuation allowance is necessary. Accordingly, we have performed such evaluations from time to time, based on historical evidence, trends in profitability, and expectations of future taxable income, and implemented tax planning strategies.

The calculation of tax liabilities involves dealing with uncertainties in the application of complex global tax regulations. We recognize potential liabilities for anticipated tax audit issues in the United States and other tax jurisdictions based on our estimate of whether, and the extent to which, additional taxes will be due. In the event we determine that it is appropriate to create a reserve or increase an existing reserve for any such potential liabilities, the amount of the additional reserve is charged as an expense in the period in which it is determined. If payment of these amounts ultimately proves to be unnecessary, the reversal of the liabilities would result in tax benefits being recognized in the period when we determine the liabilities are no longer necessary. If the estimate of tax liabilities proves to be less than the ultimate tax assessment for the applicable period, a further charge to expense in the period such shortfall is determined would result. Such a charge to expense could have a material and adverse effect on our results of operations for the applicable period.

Prior to fiscal year 2020, we maintained a full valuation allowance on our net deferred tax assets in all jurisdictions. However, due to improved results in the United States in the past two fiscal years, we determined that a full valuation allowance was no longer appropriate for the net U.S. deferred tax asset. We released a valuation allowance on the net deferred tax asset that is not expected to expire in future years. Changes to our business in the future may require a reevaluation of our valuation allowances, which would result in additional tax benefit or expense that would impact our net income. See Note 9 to the consolidated financial statements for further discussion.

Future issuances or repurchases of our equity, or transfers of our equity by third parties, may impair our future ability to use a substantial amount of our existing NOLs.

From time to time we perform an analysis of the ownership changes in our stock pursuant to Section 382 of the IRC. As of both June 30, 2020 and 2019, the ownership change was 37.0%. Future transactions and the timing of such transactions could cause an additional ownership change for Section 382 income tax purposes. Section 382 limits the ability of a company that undergoes an “ownership change,” which is generally defined as any change in ownership of more than 50% of its common stock over a three-year period, to utilize its NOLs and certain built-in losses or deductions, as of the ownership change date, that are recognized during the five-year period after the ownership change. Such transactions may include, but are not limited to, additional repurchases or issuances of common stock, or acquisitions or sales of shares of CCUR stock by certain holders of our shares, including persons who have held, currently hold, or may accumulate in the future five percent or more of our outstanding common stock for their own accounts. Outside of the rights granted to us through the tax preservation plan approved by stockholders at our 2018 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, these transactions may be beyond our control, particularly if the tax preservation plan expires. If an additional ownership change were to occur for purposes of Section 382, we would be required to calculate a new annual restriction on the use of our NOLs to offset future taxable income. We could lose all or a substantial part of the benefit of our accumulated NOLs if an ownership change pursuant to Section 382 does occur.

We may fail to meet the requirements of the lending and finance company exception which could result in our classification as a personal holding company (“PHC”). Absent this exception, we would be subject to a 20% excise tax on our undistributed net PHC income.

Under Section 542 of the IRC, a corporation that is a “PHC” may be required to pay a PHC tax equal to 20% of its “undistributed PHC income”, which is generally taxable income with certain adjustments including a deduction for federal income taxes and dividends paid. In general, a corporation is a PHC if (i) at least 60 percent of its “adjusted ordinary gross income” for the taxable year is “PHC income” (the “Income Test”), (ii) at any time during the last half of the taxable year, more than 50 percent in value of its outstanding stock is owned, directly or indirectly, by or for five or fewer individuals (the “Ownership Test”), and (iii) one of the exceptions does not apply, including the exception for a “lending or finance company” that derives 60% or more of its ordinary gross income directly from the active and regular conduct of a lending or finance business and otherwise meets certain income, expense, and shareholder loan thresholds. For the fiscal year ending June 30, 2020, the Company has met the Income Test and the Ownership Test; however, based on applicable IRS guidance and the Company’s facts, we believe the Company is not a PHC under the lending or finance company exception for the year ending June 30, 2020.


It will be critical for us to monitor compliance with IRC Section 542 on an annual basis to ascertain whether we meet the Income Test and the Ownership Test, and if so, whether we meet the lending or finance company exception. Failure to navigate these issues could result in the imposition of a 20% PHC tax on undistributed PHC income (as defined in IRC Section 545), which in general may be avoided by paying dividends prior to year-end.

Acquisition Risks

There can be no assurances that we will be successful in reinvesting the Company’s assets or that future businesses and assets in which we invest, if any, will allow us greater ability to utilize our existing NOLs.

We continue to evaluate additional acquisition targets that could provide a greater ability to utilize our remaining NOLs. There can be no assurance that we will be able to identify and successfully complete any additional business or asset acquisitions. The process to identify potential business opportunities and acquisition targets, to investigate and evaluate the future returns therefrom and business prospects thereof, and to negotiate definitive agreements with respect to such transactions on mutually acceptable terms can be time-consuming and costly. We have encountered and are likely to continue to encounter intense competition from other companies with similar business objectives to ours, including private equity and venture capital funds, special purpose acquisition vehicles, leveraged buyout funds, investment firms with significantly greater financial and other resources, and operating businesses competing for acquisitions. Many of these entities are well-established and have extensive experience identifying and executing such transactions. Our financial resources and human capital resources may be relatively limited when contrasted with many of these competitors. As a result, we may be at a competitive disadvantage with such entities as we seek to identify and acquire additional businesses and assets. Further, managing and growing acquired businesses and assets could require higher corporate expenses, which could also affect our ability to offer competitive terms for any potential acquisition of such businesses or assets.

While we believe that there are several categories of target businesses that we could potentially acquire or invest in, our ability to compete to acquire target businesses will be limited by our available financial resources. We may need to obtain additional financing in order to consummate future acquisitions and business opportunities, and there can be no assurances that any additional financing will be available to us on acceptable terms, or at all. Even if we are successful in acquiring additional businesses or assets, there can be no assurances that such businesses or assets will produce results allowing us greater ability to utilize our NOLs.

The purchase agreements for the LuxeMark Acquisition and the Real-Time and Content Delivery business sales may expose us to contingent liabilities that could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition.

In each of these sale and acquisition transactions completed since the beginning of calendar year 2017, the applicable purchase agreements included indemnification obligations, often subject to certain carve-out and time limitations, summarized below.

LuxeMark Acquisition: We have agreed to indemnify Old LuxeMark and the principals of Old LuxeMark for breaches or failures of our representations, warranties, or covenants in the asset purchase agreement for the LuxeMark Acquisition or for any fraud, willful breach, or intentional misrepresentation.


Content Delivery Sale: We have agreed to indemnify Vecima for breaches of any representation, warranty, or covenant made by us in the purchase agreement for the sale of one of our legacy businesses (the “CDN APA”) for losses arising out of or in connection with excluded assets or excluded liabilities, and for certain other matters. While the time period for some of the indemnification obligations has expired, we remain subject to indemnification obligations for certain claims set forth in the CDN APA through December 2022 and, in some instances, through December 2024. Other than in the event of fraud or willful misconduct, we will not be obligated to indemnify Vecima for any breach of the representations, warranties, or covenants made by us under the CDN APA until the aggregate total dollar amount of claims for indemnification exceeds $0.1 million. In the event any permitted indemnification claims exceed this threshold, we will be obligated to indemnify Vecima for any damages or loss resulting from such breach up to 5% of the final purchase price paid by Vecima pursuant to the CDN APA; provided, however, that this capped amount does not apply to damages or losses based on and arising out of fraud or willful misconduct.

Real-Time Sale: We have agreed to indemnify the purchaser of another of our businesses (the “RT Purchaser”) for breaches of any representation, warranty, or covenant made by us in the purchase agreement for the Real-Time sale (the “RT APA”) for losses arising out of or in connection with excluded assets or excluded liabilities, and for certain other matters. While the time period for certain indemnification obligations has expired, we remain subject to indemnification obligations for any claims arising out of fraud, breach, or inaccuracies in the fundamental representations set forth in the RT APA, through May 2023, which obligations are not subject to a capped amount.

 

The Company may be subject to additional regulatory rules and regulations as it develops and expands its operations or consummates any business or asset acquisitions, which may cause the Company to incur increased costs to satisfy its compliance requirements or penalties if the Company is unable to satisfy those requirements in a timely manner; the Company may also alter its business structure or status to align its compliance requirements and costs with its continuing operations and business strategy.

 

As the Company develops and expands its continuing operations and considers the acquisition of new business and assets, it continues to assess (i) whether (i) such expansion and development of its continuing operations or potential new business opportunities would subject the Company to additional federal or state law rules and regulations and, if so, to assess the expenses and resources necessary to satisfy those compliance requirements, and (ii) whether its continuing compliance requirements and costs are aligned with its continuing operations and business strategy. The Company may incur significant expenses in making such assessments and implementing any modifications designed to bring its further developed and expanded continuingcurrent operations and any newly acquired new businesses and assets into compliance with applicable federal or state rules and regulations that become applicable to the Company as the result of such activity. Iregulations. If the Company is unable to meet any new compliance requirements or to do so in a timely manner, it may face penalties or other enforcement remedies from the applicable regulatory entity.

 

Further, the Company continues to assess its continuing regulatory costs and expenses following the disposition of its prior businesses to determine whether such costs and expenses are aligned with and necessary to its continuing operations, resources and business strategy. The Company may elect to modify its business structure or status, forego a business or acquisition opportunity, or take other action it deems appropriate to remain under or obtain exemption from any compliance requirements it deems to be misaligned with its continuing operations, business strategy, or resources. Any such changes may initially require significant expenses and staff resources or create uncertainty or negative market perceptions about us or our securities.

There can be no assurances that we will be successful in reinvesting the Company’s assets or that the businesses and assets in which we invest, if any, will allow us greater ability to utilize our existing NOLs.

There can be no assurance that we will, or we will be able to, identify and successfully complete any business or asset acquisitions. The process to identify potential business opportunities and acquisition targets, to investigate and evaluate the future returns therefrom and business prospects thereof and to negotiate definitive agreements with respect to such transactions on mutually acceptable terms can be time consuming and costly. We have encountered and are likely to continue to encounter intense competition from other companies with similar business objectives to ours, including private equity and venture capital funds, leveraged buyout funds, investment firms with significantly greater financial and other resources and operating businesses competing for acquisitions. Many of these entities are well established and have extensive experience identifying and executing such transactions. Our financial resources and human resources may be relatively limited when contrasted with many of these competitors. As a result, we may be at a competitive disadvantage with such entities as we seek to identify and acquire additional businesses and assets. Further, managing and growing acquired businesses and assets could require higher corporate expenses, which could also affect our ability to offer competitive terms for any potential acquisition of such businesses or assets.

While we believe that there are several categories of target businesses that we could potentially acquire or invest in, our ability to compete to acquire target businesses that are relatively sizable will be limited by our available financial resources. We may need to obtain additional financing in order to consummate future acquisitions and business opportunities and there can be no assurances that any additional financing will be available to us on acceptable terms, or at all. Even if we are successful in acquiring additional businesses or assets, there can be no assurances that such businesses or assets will produce results allowing us greater ability to utilize our NOLs.

In addition, we will incur operating expenses, resulting from payroll, board fees, legal, audit and tax services, rent and other overhead and professional fees, while we are evaluating business and acquisition opportunities. These expenses may reduce the overall returns realized or at least affect the initial value derived from any acquired businesses or assets or other business transactions.

 

We may consider potential business or asset acquisitions in different industries, and stockholders may have no basis at this time to ascertain the merits or risks of any business or asset that we may ultimately operate or acquire.

Our business strategy contemplates the potential acquisition of one or more additional operating businesses or other assets that we believe will provide better returns on equity than our previous businesses and, exceptand/or enhance the returns achieved from our current operating segments. Except for the restriction on our ability to compete with our former Real-Time and Content Delivery businesses (pursuant to the respective terms of the respective purchase agreements)CDN APA and RT APA), we are not limited to acquisitions in any particular industry or of any type of business or asset. Accordingly, there is no current basis for stockholders to evaluate the possible merits or risks of a target business or asset with which we may ultimately effectconsummate a business combination, acquisition, or other investment. Although we will seek to evaluate the risks inherent in aany particular business or acquisition opportunity, we cannot assure stockholders that all of the significant risks present in that opportunity will be properly assessed. Even if we properly assess those risks, some of them may be outside of our control or ability to assess. We may pursue business combinations, asset acquisitions, or investments that do not require stockholder approval and, in those instances, stockholders will most likely not be provided with an opportunity to evaluate the specific merits or risks of any such transaction before we become committed to the transaction.transaction(s).

Resources will be expended in researching potential acquisitions and investments that might not be consummated.

The investigation of target businesses and assets and the negotiation, drafting, and execution of relevant agreements, disclosure documents, and other instruments havehas required and will continue to require substantial management time and attention, in addition to costs for accountants, attorneys, and others engaged from time to time to assist management. If a decision is made not to complete a specific business combination, asset acquisition, or other investment, the costs incurred up to that point relating to the proposed transaction likely would not be recoverable and would be borne by us. Furthermore, even if an agreement is reached relating to a specific opportunity, we may fail to consummate the transaction for any number of reasons, including those beyond our control.

 

Subsequent to an acquisition or business combination, we may be required to take write-downs or write-offs, incur restructuring costs, and incur impairment or other charges that could have a significant negative effect on our financial condition, results of operations, and our share price, which could cause stockholders to lose some or all of their investments.

Even if we conduct extensive due diligence on a target business with which we combine or an asset which we acquire, we cannot assure stockholders that this diligence will identify all material issues that may be present with respect to a particular target business or asset, that it would be possible to uncover all material issues through a customary and reasonable amount of due diligence, or that factors outside of the target business and outside of our control will not later arise. As a result of these factors, we may be forced to later write-down or write-off assets, restructure our operations, or incur impairment or other charges that could result in our reporting losses. Even if our due diligence successfully identifies certain risks, unexpected risks may arise, and previously known risks may materialize in a manner not consistent with our preliminary risk analysis. Even though these charges may be non-cash items, and therefore will not have an immediate impact on our liquidity, the fact that we report charges of this nature could contribute to negative market perceptions about us or our securities. In addition, charges of this nature may cause us to violate net worth or other covenants to which we may be subject as a result of assuming pre-existing debt held by a target business or associated with a target asset, or by virtue of our obtaining debt financing in connection with our future operations. Accordingly, stockholders could suffer a significant reduction in the value of their shares.

 

We may issue additional shares of common stock or other equity or equity-linked securities to complete business combinations or under employee incentive plans. Any such issuances would dilute the interest of our stockholders and likely present other risks.

Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation authorizes our Board of Directors to issue shares of our common stock or preferred stock, from time to time, in their business judgment, up to the amount of our then authorizedthen-authorized capitalization. We may issue a substantial number of additional shares of our common stock, and may issue shares of our preferred stock, and/or securities convertible into our common stock, in order to complete business combinations, raise additional capital, or under employee incentive plans. These issuances:

 

·may significantly dilute stockholders’ equity interests;

·may subordinate the rights of holders of shares of our common stock if shares of preferred stock are issued with rights senior to those afforded our common stock;

·

could cause a change in control if a substantial number of shares of our common stock are issued, which may affect, among other things, our ability to use our NOLs, and could result in the resignation or removal of our present officers and directors; and

·may adversely affect prevailing market prices for our common stock.

 


We may issue notes or other debt securities, or otherwise incur substantial debt, to complete a business combination or acquire assets, which may adversely affect our leverage and financial condition, and thus negatively impact the value of our stockholders'stockholders’ investment in us.

Although we have no commitments as of the date of this report to issue any notes or other debt securities, or to otherwise incur indebtedness, we may choose to incur substantial debt to finance our growth plans. The incurrence of debt could have a variety of negative effects, including:

 

·default and foreclosure on our assets if our operating revenues after an initial business combination or asset acquisitioncash flows are insufficient to repay our debt obligations;

6

 

·acceleration of our obligations to repay the indebtedness, even if we make all principal and interest payments when due, if we breach covenants that require the maintenance of financial ratios or reserves without a waiver or renegotiation of that covenant;the covenants;

·ourobligation for immediate payment of all principal and accrued interest, if any, if the debt security is payable on demand;

·our inability to obtain necessary additional financing if the debt security contains covenants restricting our ability to obtain such financing while the debt security is outstanding;

·inability or a limitation on our inabilityability to pay any declared dividends on our common stock;

·using a substantial portion of our cash flow to pay principal and interest on our debt, which will reduce the funds available for dividends on our common stock, if declared, expenses, capital expenditures, acquisitions, and other general corporate purposes;

·limitations on our flexibility in planning for and reacting to changes in our business and in the industries in which we operate or intend to operate;

·increased vulnerability to adverse changes in general economic, industry, and competitive conditions and adverse changes in government regulation; and

·limitations on our ability to borrow additional amounts for expenses, capital expenditures, acquisitions, debt service requirements, execution of our strategy, and other purposes, and other disadvantages compared to our competitors who have less debt.

 

We may have a limited ability to assess the management of a prospective target business and, as a result, may effectconsummate a business combination with a target business whose management may not have the skills, qualifications, or abilities to manage the target business.

When evaluating a prospective target business, even with diligent efforts, we may not be able to fully assess the performance of the target business’ management eitherfully, due to necessary restraints on time, resources, orand information. Moreover, when assessing private companies, it may be difficult to assess how well a target company’s management will be able to adjust to operating within the confines of a public company structure. Our assessment of the capabilities of the target'starget’s management, therefore, may prove to be incorrect, and such management may lack the skills, qualifications, or abilities we suspected.expected. Should the target'starget’s management not possess the skills, qualifications, or abilities necessary to manage such business or operate within the confines of a public company, the operations and profitability of the post-combination business may be negatively impacted.

 

We may attempt to complete business combinations with private companies about which limited information is available, which may result in a business combination with a company that is not as profitable as we suspected,expected, if at all.

In pursuing our business acquisition strategy, we may seek to effectuateeffect business combinations with privately held companies. By definition, very little public information exists about private companies, and we could be required to make our decision on whether to pursue a potential initial business combination based on the basis of limited information, which may result in a business combination with a company that is not as profitable as we expect, if at all.

 

We may be required to expend substantial sums in order to bring the companies we acquire into compliance with the various reporting requirements applicable to public companies and/or to prepare required financial statements, and such efforts may harm our operating results or be unsuccessful altogether.

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “Sarbanes-Oxley Act”) requiresour management to assess the effectiveness of the internal controlcontrols over financial reporting for the companies we acquire. In order to comply with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, we will potentially need to implement or enhance internal controlcontrols over financial reporting at any company we acquire, and we will be required to evaluate the company’s internal controls. We do not conduct a formal evaluation of companies’ internal control over financial reporting prior to an acquisition. We may be required to hire or engage additional resources and incur substantial costs to implement the necessary new internal controls should we acquire any companies. Any failure to implement required internal controls, or difficulties encountered in their implementation, could harm our operating results or increase the risk of material weaknesses in internal controls, which could, if not remediated, adversely affect our ability to report our financial condition and results of operations in a timely and accurate manner.

We may make acquisitions or investments where we do not own all or a majority of the target enterprise.

We may make acquisitions or investments where we do not own all or a majority of the target enterprise. We may engage in such acquisitions or make such investments where we desire the target management to continue to have a significant equity incentive to grow and ensure the profitability of the target business. We may also make such acquisitions or investments where we do not have sufficient financial resources to acquire all of the equity in the target company or where the target has price requirements that we are unwilling to meet at the time of the acquisition or investment. Our minorityminority- or less than 100% ownership subjectsless-than-100%-ownership would subject us to risks that we do not completely control the target company and its results of operations, business condition, or prospects may be materially adversely impacted by the decisions of the other equity owners or the difficulty of negotiating among equity owners.

 

We will be unable to compete with the Content Delivery business or the Real-Time business for a period of three years after the date of the closing of the sale of each respective business.

In connection with the closing of the sale of the Content Delivery business and the closing of the sale of the Real-Time business, we agreed to be bound by restrictive covenants for a period of three years following the closing of each respective transaction, which provide that until the third anniversary following the applicable transaction closing, we will not:

·engage in any activity that competes with the Content Delivery business as it was conducted by us prior to the closing of the sale of the Content Delivery business or the Real-Time business as it was conducted by us prior to the closing of the sale of the Real-Time business;
·solicit or recruit any employees transferred to Vecima or the RT Purchaser; or
·own, manage, operate, assist, invest in or acquire any person or entity that competes with the Content Delivery business or the Real-Time business (except for ownership of 5% or less of the outstanding securities of a publicly traded entity).

We incurred net losses in the past and may incur further losses in the future.

We incurred losses from continuing operations of $6.8 million and $4.7 million in fiscal years ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. As of June 30, 2018, we had an accumulated deficit of approximately $151.8 million. We may have difficulty sustaining profitable operations and incur additional net losses in the future.

Any weaknesses identified in our system of internal controls by us or our independent registered public accounting firm pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act could have an adverse effect on our business.

Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires that companies evaluate and report on their systems of internal control over financial reporting. In future periods, we may identify deficiencies in our system of internal controls over financial reporting that may require remediation. There can be no assurances that any such future deficiencies identified may not be significant deficiencies or material weaknesses that would be required to be reported in future periods. Any control deficiency that we may identify in the future could adversely affect our stock price, results of operations or financial condition.

We face risks associated with the trend of increased stockholder activism.

Publicly-traded companies have increasingly become subject to campaigns by investors seeking to increase short-term stockholder value by advocating corporate actions such as financial restructuring, increased borrowing, special dividends, stock repurchases or even sales of assets or the entire company. Given our significant cash and other asset balances as of June 30, 2018, market capitalization and other factors, it is possible that stockholders may in the future attempt to effect such changes or acquire control over us. Responding to proxy contests and other actions by activist stockholders would be costly and time-consuming, disrupt our operations and divert the attention of our Board of Directors and senior management from the pursuit of business strategies, which could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.

A failure to detect fraud in the business could be serious.

While we are confident that we have comprehensive controls in place, there can be no assurances that all business fraud will be detected and/or thwarted. A loss related to fraud, especially an uninsured loss, could have an adverse effect on our business.

The financial impacts of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act in the U.S. could be materially different from our current estimates and may adversely affect our operations.

On December 22, 2017, President Donald J. Trump signed the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“TCJA” or “the Act”), which enacted the most comprehensive U.S. tax reform legislation in over thirty years. The TCJA includes numerous changes in the U.S. tax code that could affect our business, such as:

·A permanent reduction to the U.S. federal corporate tax rate from 35% to 21% for tax years beginning after December 31, 2017;
·New limitations on business deductions, including meals and entertainment expense and interest expense;
·Indefinite carryforward periods for net operating losses generated after December 31, 2017, albeit with a new limitation in usage each year to 80% of taxable income;
·A new approach to the treatment of foreign subsidiaries’ earnings, including a one-time repatriation tax (“Transition Tax”) on foreign subsidiaries’ earnings as of November 2, 2017 or December 31, 2017 (the larger of the two dates). This will be followed by a new system for foreign subsidiaries’ earnings in years beginning after December 31, 2017 for global intangible low-taxed income (“GILTI”). GILTI will be based on the annual aggregate foreign subsidiaries’ earnings in excess of certain qualified business asset investment returns.
·Elimination of the Alternative Minimum Tax (“AMT”) system for tax years beginning after December 31, 2017, along with provisions for obtaining a refund for any existing AMT credits no later than tax years beginning before January 1, 2022.

9

·Creation of a new base-erosion, anti-abuse tax (“BEAT”) and a new taxation mechanism for foreign-derived intangible income (“FDII”) for years beginning after December 31, 2017.

Given the complexity of the Act, we have not finalized the accounting for the income tax effects of some of the provisions of the TCJA. This includes the provisional amounts in the fiscal year 2018 financials regarding the remeasurement of deferred tax assets to the new corporate tax rate and the Transition Tax. Additionally, we are working with our tax advisors to analyze the impact of the new GILTI, FDII, and BEAT taxing regimes that are effective beginning for our fiscal year 2019, as well as other provisions of the Act. The final provisional impacts of the Act may materially differ from the estimates provided in the fiscal year 2018 financials due to, among other things: changes in interpretations of the Act, legislative action to address technical corrections to the Act or address other questions from the Act, changes in accounting standards or interpretations related to income taxes, or any change in estimates that we have used in calculating the provisional amounts. As a result, our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows could be adversely affected.

Fluctuations in our future effective tax rates could affect our future operating results, financial condition and cash flows.

We are required to periodically review our deferred tax assets and determine whether, based on available evidence, a valuation allowance is necessary. Accordingly, we have performed such evaluation, from time to time, based on historical evidence, trends in profitability, expectations of future taxable income and implemented tax planning strategies.

The calculation of tax liabilities involves dealing with uncertainties in the application of complex global tax regulations. We recognize potential liabilities for anticipated tax audit issues in the U.S. and other tax jurisdictions based on our estimate of whether, and the extent to which, additional taxes will be due. In the event we determine that it is appropriate to create a reserve or increase an existing reserve for any such potential liabilities, the amount of the additional reserve is charged as an expense in the period in which it is determined. If payment of these amounts ultimately proves to be unnecessary, the reversal of the liabilities would result in tax benefits being recognized in the period when we determine the liabilities are no longer necessary. If the estimate of tax liabilities proves to be less than the ultimate tax assessment for the applicable period, a further charge to expense in the period such shortfall is determined would result. Such a charge to expense could have a material and adverse effect on our results of operations for the applicable period.

As of both June 30, 2018 and 2017, our U.S. and foreign deferred tax assets are fully reserved. Changes to our business in the future may require a release of our valuation allowances, which would result in additional tax benefits that would improve our net income. See Note 8 to the consolidated financial statements for further discussion.

We have implemented certain anti-takeover provisions that could make it more difficult for a third-party to acquire us.

 

Provisions of Delaware law and our restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws could make it more difficult for a third-partythird party to acquire us, even if doing so would be beneficial to our stockholders.

 

We are subject to certain Delaware anti-takeover laws regulating corporate takeovers. These anti-takeover laws prevent a Delaware corporation from engaging in a business combination involving a merger or sale of more than 10% of our assets with any stockholder, including affiliates and associates of the stockholder, who owns 15% or more of the outstanding voting stock, for three years following the date that the stockholder acquired 15% or more of the corporation’s stock, except under limited circumstances.

 

There are provisions in our restated certificate of incorporation and our amended and restated bylaws that also may delay, deter, or impede hostile takeovers or changes of control.

 

Additionally, see the risk factor below that discusses our formal amendment to our certificate of incorporation adopted by our stockholders at our 20172018 Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on October 25, 2017November 8, 2018, designed to limit our exposure to an ownership change, and as further discussed in Note 9 to the consolidated financial statements.

We may engage in future acquisitions that dilute the ownership interest of our stockholders, cause us to incur debt or assume contingent liabilities, or present other challenges, such as integration issues, for our business, which, if not successfully resolved, would adversely affect our business.

 

We are currently reviewing acquisition prospects, and in the event of any future acquisitions, we could issue equity securities that would dilute current stockholders’ percentage ownership, incur substantial debt, or assume contingent liabilities. These actions could materially adversely affect our operating results, financial condition, and cash flows. Acquisitions also entail numerous risks, including:

 

·difficulties in the assimilation of acquired operations, technologies, or services;

·unanticipated costs associated with the acquisition;

·diversion of management’s attention from other business concerns;

·adverse effects on existing business relationships;

·risks associated with entering markets in which we have no or limited prior experience; and

·potential loss of key employees of acquired companies.

 


We cannot assure that we will be able to integrate successfully integrate any business,businesses, products, technologies, or personnel that we might acquire in the future. Our failure to do so could materially adversely affect our business, operating results, and financial condition.

 

Future issuances or repurchasesWe may be limited in the types of acquisitions that we can pursue in order to preserve use of our equity, or transfers of our equity by third parties, may impair our future ability to use a substantial amount of our existing net operating loss carryforwards.NOLs.

From time to time we complete an analysisWe have NOLs of the ownership changes in our stock pursuant to Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code. As of June 30, 2018, the ownership change was 37.40%, compared to 22.3%$51.4 million as of June 30, 2017. Future transactions2020. We may be able to achieve greater realization of the value of our NOLs with certain business or asset acquisitions. There is no guarantee that we will be able to find or consummate an acquisition that allows for utilization of our NOLs and we may engage in acquisitions that do not facilitate use of the timingNOLs. In any acquisition, we may be limited by our available cash and cash equivalents or our ability to obtain financing in order to preserve use of our NOLs. Use of our NOLs can be impaired by certain shifts in the ownership of our common stock and, thus, we are limited in our ability to use stock in an acquisition for NOL preservation purposes. Alternatively, while we have not identified or committed to any such transactions, could cause an additional ownership change for Section 382 income tax purposes. Section 382 limits the ability of a companywe may identify acquisitions that undergoes an “ownership change,” which is generally defined as any change in ownership of more than 50% of its common stock over a three-year period,we believe will provide value sufficient to utilize its NOLs and certain built-in losses or deductions, asforego preservation of the ownershipNOLs to participate in the acquisition opportunity.

Insiders and large stockholders have or could have substantial control over us, which could limit your ability to influence the outcome of key transactions, including a change date, that are recognized during the five-year period after the ownership change. Such transactions may include, but are not limited to, additional repurchases or issuances of common stock, or acquisitions or sales of shares of CCUR stock by certain holderscontrol.

If an additional ownership change were to occur for purposes of Section 382, we would be required to calculate a new annual restriction on the usemarket price of our NOLs to offset future taxable income. We could lose all or a substantial part of the benefit of our accumulated NOLs if an ownership change pursuant to Section 382 does occur.common stock.

 

Recently enacted tax legislation may impact our ability to fully utilize any NOLs generated after calendar year 2017 to fully offset our taxable income in future periodsSecurities-Related Risks.

 

Beginning in calendar year 2018, the TCJA generally will, among other things, permit us to offset only 80% (rather than 100%) of our taxable income with any NOLs we generate after calendar year 2017. Net operating losses subject to these limitations may be carried forward by us for use in later years, subject to these limitations. These tax law changes could have the effect of causing us to incur income tax liability sooner than we otherwise would have incurred such liability or, in certain cases, could cause us to incur income tax liability that we might otherwise not have incurred, in the absence of these tax law changes. The TCJA also includes provisions that, beginning in 2018, reduce the maximum federal corporate income tax rate from 35% to 21% and eliminate the alternative minimum tax, which would lessen any adverse impact of the limitations described in the preceding sentences.

Trading on the OTCQB Venture Market operated by the OTC Markets Group Inc. (the “OTCQB market”) may be volatile and sporadic, which could depress the market price of our common stock and make it difficult for our stockholders to resell their shares.

 

Our common stock is quoted on the OTCQB Venture Market operated by the OTC Markets Group.market. Trading in stock quoted on the OTCQB market is often thin and characterized by wide fluctuations in trading prices due to many factors that may have little to do with our operations or business prospects. This volatility could depress the market price of our common stock for reasons unrelated to operating performance. Moreover, the OTCQB market is not a stock exchange, and trading of securities on the OTCQB market is often more sporadic than the trading of securities listed on a stock exchange like the NasdaqNASDAQ Stock Market (the “NASDAQ”) or the New York Stock Exchange.Exchange (the “NYSE”). Accordingly, our stockholders may have difficulty reselling any of their shares.

 

We may be unable to relist our common stock on the Nasdaq Stock MarketNASDAQ or any other exchange.

 

If the Board of Directors determines that it is in the best interests of the Company to resume trading our common stock on the Nasdaq Stock MarketNASDAQ or trading on another stock exchange if and when we meet the applicable listing requirements, we will need to reapply to Nasdaqthe NASDAQ or apply to such other exchange to have our stock listed. The application process can be lengthy, and there is no assurance that Nasdaqthe NASDAQ or such other exchange will relist our common stock. If we are unable to relist our common stock, or even if our common stock is relisted, no assurance can be provided that an active trading market will develop or, if one develops, will continue.

Changes in market conditions may impact any stock repurchases, and stock repurchases could increase the volatility of the price of our common stock.

 

On March 5, 2018, we announced that ourthe Board of Directors hashad authorized the repurchase of up to 1one million shares of the Company’s common stock. RepurchasesIn January 2019, we completed the purchase of the authorized one million shares and the Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of an additional 500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock under a new repurchase program that replaces and supersedes the prior repurchase program. Purchases are made at the discretion of management through private transactions or open market or privately negotiated transactions or any combination of the same.To the extent the Company engages in stock repurchases, such activity ispurchases, which may be made pursuant to trading plans subject to market conditions, such as the trading prices for our stock, as well as the termsrestrictions and protections of any stock purchase plans intended to comply with Rule 10b5-1 and/or Rule 10b-18 of the Securities Exchange Act. Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). The Board of Directors, in its discretion, may resolve to discontinue stock repurchases at any time.

 


Any repurchases pursuant to our stock repurchase program could affect our stock price and add volatility. There can be no assurance that the repurchases will be made at the best possible price. The existence of a stock repurchase program could also cause our stock price to be higher than it would be in the absence of such a program and could potentially reduce the market liquidity for our stock. There can be no assurance that stock repurchases will create value for stockholders because the market price of the stock may decline significantly below the levels at which we repurchased shares of stock. Our stock purchase program is intended to deliver stockholder value over the long-term,long term, but short-term stock price fluctuations can reduce the program’s effectiveness.

 

We may be subject to lawsuits relating to certain transactions in our common stock and derivative securities referencing our common stock by our largest stockholder, JDS1, LLC.

The Company was reviewing certain transactions by our stockholder JDS1, LLC in our common stock and derivative securities referencing our common stock to evaluate whether those transactions resulted in JDS1, LLC’s realization of “short-swing profits,” as such term is defined in the Exchange Act. Short swing profits references certain profits made by Section 16 filers within a six-month period that are subject to disgorgement under Section 16 of the Exchange Act. JDS1, LLC has previously disgorged short-swing profits to us that were subject to disgorgement. We received letters from counsel to two purported stockholders regarding the transactions under review. Our Board of Directors established a special committee consisting of directors David Nicol and Dilip Singh (the “Special Committee”) to review whether any additional amounts were subject to disgorgement and oversee recovery of any such amounts. The Special Committee determined that additional amounts were subject to disgorgement and those amounts were subsequently recovered from JDS1, LLC. Upon concluding its evaluation of the relevant transactions, the Special Committee was dissolved. The stockholders that contacted the Company regarding the transactions of JDS1, LLC may still decide to pursue litigation in order to disgorge additional amounts if they disagree with the Special Committee’s determination. Any litigation that arises because of the transactions reviewed by the Special Committee may require us to expend significant financial and managerial resources.

We may be subject to price risk associated with our portfolio of equity securities fixed maturityand fixed-maturity debt securities and loans involved in our real estate operations.

 

We are exposed to market risks and fluctuations primarily through changes in fair value of available-for-sale fixed maturityfixed-maturity and equity securities in which the Company holds. We followAs of February 2019, the Asset Manager exclusively manages our securities portfolio, and is required under the Management Agreement to adhere to an investment strategy approved by our Board of Directors’ InvestmentAsset Management Committee, which sets restrictions on the amount of certain securities and other assets that we may acquire and on our overall investment strategy.

12

Market prices for fixed maturityfixed-maturity and equity securities are subject to fluctuation,fluctuation; as a result, the amount realized in the subsequent sale of an investment may significantly differ from the reported market value. Fluctuation in the market price of a security may result from perceived changes in the underlying economic characteristics of the investee, the relative price of alternative investments, and general market conditions. Because our fixed maturityfixed-maturity and equity securities are classified as available-for-sale, the hypothetical decline would not affect current earnings except to the extent that the decline reflects an “other-than-temporary” impairment.

 

We are also subject to risks and fluctuations in the market prices in the real estate market based on the secured real estate loans and assets that the Company holdswe hold as a part of itsour real estate operations. As a result, the amount that the Companywe may be able to realize upon default of any of itsour loans collateralized by real property may significantly differ from the reported market value or the value assessed by the Company.value.

 

To the extent payment-in-kind (“PIK”) interest constitutes a portion of our income, we will be exposed to typical risks associated with such income being required to be included in taxable and accounting income prior to receipt of cash representing such income.

 

Certain of our investments include a PIK interest arrangement,arrangements, which representsrepresent contractual interest added to a loan balancebalances and due at the end of sucheach loan’s term. To the extent PIK interest constitutes a portion of our income, we are exposed to typical risks associated with such income being required to be included in taxable and accounting income prior to receipt of cash, including the following:

 

The higher interest rates of PIK instruments reflect the payment deferral and increased credit risk associated with these instruments, and PIK instruments generally represent a significantly higher credit risk than coupon loans.
·The higher interest rates of PIK instruments reflect the payment deferral and increased credit risk associated with these instruments, and PIK instruments generally represent a significantly higher credit risk than coupon loans;

 

Even if the accounting conditions for income accrual are met, the borrower could still default when our actual collection is supposed to occur at the maturity of the obligation.
·Even if the accounting conditions for income accrual are met, the borrower could still default at the maturity of the obligation; and

 

·PIK instruments may have unreliable valuations because their continuing accruals require continuing judgments about the collectability of the deferred payments and the value of any associated collateral.

We are exposed to financial risks that may be partially mitigated, but cannot be eliminated, by our hedging activities, which carry their own risk.

We may use financial instruments for hedging and risk management purposes in order to protect against possible fluctuations in the market, fluctuations in foreign currencies, or for other reasons that we deem appropriate. The success of our hedging strategy will be subject to our ability to assess counterparty risk correctly, along with our ability to continually recalculate, readjust, and execute hedges in an efficient and timely manner. Thus, though we may enter into these types of transactions to seek to reduce risks, unanticipated events may create a more negative consequence than if we had not engaged in any such hedging transactions. Any failure to manage our hedging positions properly or inability to enter into hedging instruments upon acceptable terms could affect our financial condition and results of operations.


Real Estate Risks

Because real estate assets are relatively illiquid, we may not be able to diversify, liquidate, or monetize our real estate portfolio in response to changes in economic and other relevant conditions, which may result in losses. The illiquidity of our real estate portfolio may also result in our seeking financing in order to expand our operations while maintaining sufficient liquid assets to execute our business plan.

Real estate assets are relatively illiquid. A variety of factors could make it difficult for us to modify our real estate portfolio in response to changing economic or other relevant conditions, thus creating risk of loss associated with those changed conditions. In addition, we may seek to restrict the percentage of our assets that are contained in illiquid real estate assets by seeking financing to continue expansion of our real estate operations while maintaining sufficient liquid assets to execute our business plan and invest in other value-producing assets, including acquisition of additional businesses and assets. Further, reserving a certain percentage of our liquid assets may benefit our financial performance by increasing our ability to modify our operations to respond to adverse economic or other relevant conditions. Any financing that we obtain creates risks normally associated with financing, including the risk that our cash flow is insufficient to make timely payments of interest or principal.

We may engage in real estate transactions or other strategic opportunities that involve property types or structures with which we have less familiarity, thereby increasing our risk of loss.

We may decide to participate in real estate transactions and other strategic opportunities in which we have limited or no prior experience. When engaging in such transactions, we may not be successful in our due diligence and underwriting efforts. We may also be unsuccessful in preserving value if conditions deteriorate, and we may expose ourselves to unknown substantial risks. Furthermore, engaging in unfamiliar transactions may require additional management time and attention relative to transactions with which we are more familiar. All of these factors increase our risk of loss.

Management Agreement Risks

Failure of the Asset Manager to perform its obligations to us effectively could have an adverse effect on our business and performance.

We have engaged the Asset Manager to provide asset management and other services to us pursuant to the Management Agreement. Our ability to achieve investment and business objectives will be impacted by the performance of the Asset Manager and its ability to provide us with asset management and other services. If, for any reason, the Asset Manager is unable to perform such services at the level we require or expect, our business operations and financial performance may be adversely affected.

The fee structure with the Asset Manager could encourage the Asset Manager to invest our assets in riskier investments.

The Asset Manager has discretionary management authority over our portfolio of publicly traded securities, subject to our investment policy and subject to oversight of the Asset Management Committee and Board of Directors. The Asset Manager has the ability to earn a management fee paid through cash-settled stock appreciation rights (“SARs”) that vest immediately upon grant. The management fee is calculated based on the value of our total assets, which may create incentive for our Asset Manager to invest, to the extent permitted by our investment policy, in investments with higher yield potential that are generally riskier or more speculative, or sell an investment prematurely for a gain, in an effort to increase our short-term net income and thereby increase the fee to which it is entitled. If our interests and those of the Asset Manager are not aligned, the execution of our business plan and results of operations could be adversely affected, which could materially and adversely affect the market price of our common stock.


The Asset Manager may not be successful in equitably allocating investment opportunities among its managed accounts.

The Management Agreement requires the Asset Manager to act in a fair and reasonable manner in allocating investment and trading opportunities among our account and any associated collateral.other accounts managed by the Asset Manager or any of its affiliates. Specifically, the Asset Manager is charged with (i) considering participation of our account in all appropriate opportunities within the purpose and scope of our objectives that are under consideration for the accounts of other clients of the Asset Manager or any of its affiliates, (ii) executing orders on an equitable basis whenever it would be appropriate for our account and the Asset Manager’s other managed accounts to participate in an investment opportunity, and (iii) causing our account to pay or receive a price that is no less favorable than the average of the prices paid by the Asset Manager’s other managed accounts. However, there is no assurance that the Asset Manager will be able to eliminate any conflicts of interest arising from the allocation of investment opportunities. In addition, the Asset Manager assists with the Company’s identification of target businesses and assets for acquisition. The Asset Manager may identify target operating businesses and assets that would be appropriate for acquisition by us and by other entities managed by the Asset Manager and, after consideration of relevant factors, the Asset Manager may determine the target opportunity is more suitable for us or for a different entity. Further, the Asset Manager may have relationships with companies that it recommends to us for investment and such relationships may pose a conflict of interest for the Asset Manager or the Company.

The Asset Manager manages our portfolio pursuant to broad investment guidelines, and the Board of Directors and Asset Management Committee do not approve each investment and financing decision made by the Asset Manager unless required by our investment guidelines.

Pursuant to the Management Agreement, the Asset Manager has exclusive authority to manage the Company’s securities investment portfolio pursuant to the parameters set in our investment guidelines. Our Board of Directors periodically reviews our investment guidelines but does not, and is not required to, review of all our proposed investments except in certain circumstances outlined in the investment guidelines. While the Asset Manager is required to provide reporting of transactions undertaken on our behalf, those transactions may be costly, difficult, or impossible to unwind by the time they are reviewed by the Board of Directors. The Asset Manager has flexibility within the broad parameters of our investment guidelines in determining the types and amounts of investments in which to invest on our behalf, including making investments that may result in returns that are substantially below expectations or result in losses, which could materially and adversely affect our business and results.

MCA Risks

An increase in merchant nonpayment may reduce our overall profitability and historical merchant default rates may not be indicative of future results.

Rates at which merchants do not repay amounts owed under MCA transactions may be significantly affected by economic downturns or general economic conditions beyond our control or beyond the control of the merchants who repay the amounts advanced based on the volume of their revenue streams. Merchant nonpayment rates may increase due to factors such as the level of consumer and business confidence, the value of the U.S. dollar, changes in consumer and business spending, the number of personal and business bankruptcies, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, and other factors. While we do not transact directly with merchants, we have purchased participation interests in MCAs through funders that directly advance funding amounts to merchants, and the returns received for those participation interests are at risk if merchants do not complete repayment. Additionally, the fees obtained by LMCS for its administrative and servicing functions to funders and syndicate participants may be negatively impacted if merchant nonpayment rates are higher than the historical rates.

Our allowance for MCA losses is determined based upon both objective and subjective factors and may not be adequate to absorb the full extent of actual MCA losses.

We face the risk that merchants will fail to repay advances made in MCA transactions. We reserve for such losses by establishing an allowance for MCA losses, the increase of which results in a reduction of our earnings as we record a provision expense for MCA losses. We have established an evaluation process designed to determine the adequacy of our allowance for MCA losses. While this evaluation process uses historical and other objective information, it is also dependent on our subjective assessment based upon our experience and judgment. Actual losses are difficult to forecast and, as a result, there can be no assurance that our allowance for MCA losses will be sufficient to absorb any actual losses or to prevent a material adverse effect on our business financial condition and results of operations.


We have a limited history in an evolving MCA industry, which makes it difficult to evaluate future prospects and risk.

Because of the rapidly evolving nature of the MCA industry, even though we have conducted due diligence and engaged employees, consultants, and advisors with MCA expertise and experience, adequate assessment of future prospects and risk management regarding the MCA business may still prove challenging. These risks and difficulties include our ability to:

·manage our growth potential to achieve desired profitability but with adequate provisions to mitigate risk;

·maintain or increase our syndicate network of syndicate participants and funders;

·develop and deploy new MCA-related services to provide additional services to, and receive additional compensation from, our existing network;

·develop and deploy new MCA-related services that will attract a wider network and enable us to compete favorably;

·compete with other companies that are in or entering the MCA market and that may provide similar or expanded services;

·successfully mitigate against fluctuations in the economic market that impact the MCA industry;

·effectively determine proper expansion to any additional jurisdictions, including international jurisdictions; and

·successfully evaluate and continue to modify the MCA business under the relevant regulatory scheme.

We may not be able to address these risks and difficulties successfully, which could harm our business and operating results.

The MCA industry may become highly regulated and regulations may continue to vary widely as the MCA industry starts to become less concentrated in certain areas and more widely accessible across the United States and international territories.

Over the last few years, as the MCA industry has grown, state and federal regulators and other policymaking entities have taken an increased interest in the industry. As a result, the industry has been subject to increased regulatory scrutiny. In 2018, for example, the California legislature passed a law, SB 1235, requiring MCA originators to provide truth-in-lending type disclosures. State and federal regulators have also begun investigating the industry and exploring whether additional laws and regulations are needed to manage this evolving industry. These investigations may result in legislative, regulatory, or enforcement initiatives that could impact our business operations if the initiatives result in new laws, regulations, or enforcement priorities. We may not be able to forecast new laws or regulations, or changes in regulatory or judicial interpretations of laws or regulations, that may result from these investigations, and any additional regulatory compliance may require us to modify our business operations in a manner that negatively impacts the results of our operations.

In addition, if new laws and regulations, or changes in regulatory or judicial interpretations of laws or regulations, are imposed inconsistently, in terms of their manner and timing, across the jurisdictions in which our MCA business operates, this may create greater difficulty and expense in satisfying our regulatory compliance requirements. It may also result in conflicting requirements between different jurisdictions. While our MCA-related contracts typically contain “choice of law” provisions, the parties’ choice of law is not guaranteed to be recognized and respected by a court depending upon the facts and circumstances considered to be determinative by the relevant court. If the law of a state or jurisdiction is applied that is different from our selected choice of law, or if court or other judicial bodies render decisions that change the way applicable laws are applied with respect to the MCA industry, we may be subject to unanticipated laws and regulations that require additional expenses and resources for compliance or incur penalties for any failure to do so that affects our operating and performance results. For example, if courts or other judicial bodies recharacterize our MCAs as loans, then licensing, usury, or other regulatory requirements may apply depending on the jurisdiction, and our transactions could be challenged by regulators, attorneys general, or our customers.


A material failure to comply with any such laws or regulations could result in enforcement actions, lawsuits, and penalties, which could materially and adversely affect our business and results.

Unauthorized disclosure of merchant data, even if due to a third party’s improper action, could expose us to liability or investigation that would cause us to expend significant time and resources.

As a part of our leads program at LMCS, we connect funders that have been unable to fund all of their merchant applications in order to enable other funders that have available capital to fund those applications. Our agreements with the funders require them to provide representations and warranties that they have obtained the necessary permissions and undertaken any other requirements under applicable law with respect to disclosure of the merchant’s application information before providing such information to other funders. Funders are required under our agreements to indemnify us for any costs we incur due to their breach of these representations and warranties. While we only connect the funders, and do not maintain merchant information, we may still be subject to regulatory inquiries and be required to expend significant time and costs in response if any of the funders have not complied with their obligations regarding this information under applicable law. We may also engage in litigation with funders based on breach of their representations and warranties and/or their failure to indemnify us for related costs. Our involvement in any regulatory actions, even if not directed at us, may require us to make significant efforts to change our structure or services, or damage our business and reputation, which could have a negative impact on our operating revenues.

We rely on highly skilled personnel for our MCA business and if we are unable to retain, motivate, or hire qualified personnel, our business may be severely disrupted.

Our performance largely depends on the talents, knowledge, skills, know-how, and efforts of the principals of Old LuxeMark, who handle the day-to-day and client development activity of the MCA business operated through LMCS. These principals work on a consultant basis pursuant to consulting agreements and are subject to restrictive covenant agreements that restrict their ability to engage in competitive work or business activities for other entities. If these principals were unable or unwilling to continue in their present positions, we may not be able to replace them readily, if at all. Therefore, our business may be severely disrupted, and we may incur additional expenses to recruit and retain new executives or to seek legal remedies, if any of our executives joins a competitor or forms a competing company.

Overview

 

We are a holding company owning and seeking to own subsidiaries engaged in a variety of business operations. As of June 30, 2020, we had two existing operating segments: (i) MCA operations, conducted primarily through our subsidiary LMCS, and (ii) real estate operations, conducted through Recur and its subsidiaries.

As of June 30, 2020, the Company holds an 80% interest in LMCS, with the remaining 20% held by Old LuxeMark. Through LMCS, we manage a network of MCA originators and syndicate participants who provide those originators with capital by purchasing participation interests in or co-funding MCA transactions. In addition, we provide loans to MCA originators, the proceeds of which are used by the MCA originators to fund MCAs themselves. LMCS’ daily operations are led by the three principals of Old LuxeMark. CCUR provides operational, accounting, and legal support to LMCS. On December 31, 2017,July 17, 2020, we completed the saleentered into a series of our Content Delivery business and other related assets to Vecimaagreements with Old LuxeMark pursuant to which our interest in LMCS was reduced from 80% to 51%. After the CDN APA. Substantially allrepayment of the outstanding balance of the Master Promissory Note issued by LMCS to the Company, Old LuxeMark has the right to purchase the remaining 51% equity interest in LMCS for nominal consideration. We are reviewing our strategic options with respect to our continued participation in the MCA industry.


Recur provides commercial loans to local, regional, and national builders, developers, and commercial landowners and also acquires, owns, and manages a portfolio of real property for development. Recur does not provide consumer mortgages.

In addition to our MCA and real estate operating segments, we actively evaluate acquisitions of additional businesses or operating assets, and liabilities associated with the Content Delivery business were assigned to Vecimaeither as part of the transaction. The Content Delivery business provided advanced applications focused on storing, protecting, transforming, and delivering high value media assets and served industries and customers that demand uncompromising performance, reliability and flexibility to gain a competitive edge, drive meaningful growth and confidently deliver best-in-class solutions that enrich the lives of millions of people around the world every day. The Content Delivery business consisted of (1) software, hardware and services for intelligently streaming video content to a variety of consumer devices and storing and managing content in the network and (2) Aquari™ Storage, a unified scale-out storage solutions product that is ideally suited for a wide range of enterprise IT and video applications that require advanced performance, very large storage capacities, and a high degree of reliability.

In May 2017, we sold our Real-Time business consisting of real-time Linux operating system versions, development and performance optimization tools, simulation software and other system software combined, in many cases, with computer platforms and services. These real-time products were sold to a wide variety of companies seeking high performance, real-time computer solutions in the defense, aerospace, financial and automotive markets around the world.

A special committee of the Board, the Investment Committee, was established upon the signing of the CDN APA for the purpose of considering alternative means to deploy the proceeds of the sale of the Content Delivery business and other corporate assets to maximize long-term value for our stockholders. Such alternatives include, but are not limited to, evaluating opportunities to invest in or acquire all or a controlling interest in one or more operating businesses or assets intended to provide attractive returns for our stockholders and intended to result in appreciation in value, a more liquid trading market for our stock and enhance our ability to utilize our existing U.S. federal NOLs. Other than the restrictions set forth in the relevant non-competition and non-solicitation agreement executed by the Company in connection with the dispositionan expansion of our prior operations, there are no restrictions on the transactions that we can pursue, including with respect to industry sectorcurrent operating segments or geographic location.

We are actively pursuing business opportunities, including the acquisitionestablishment of a new businesses or assets, as well as developing and managing our current business and assets. We continually identify and evaluate a wide range of opportunitiesoperating segment, in an effort to reinvest the proceeds of our calendar year 2017 business dispositions and maximize use of other assets such as our NOLs.NOL carryforwards. We may also seek additional capital and financing to support the purchase of additional businesses and/or to provide additional working capital to further develop our operating segments. We believe that these activities will enable us to identify, acquire, and grow businesses and assets that will maximize value for all our stockholders.

 

As partIn support of this effort,the Company’s goal of expanding its existing operations and acquiring additional operating assets, we work with our senior management spendsexternal asset manager to prudently invest the excess capital of the Company so that the capital of the Company is preserved for future acquisitions, while also generating a significant portionreturn for stockholders. Our external asset manager allocates the investment assets of its time evaluatingthe Company while balancing the amount of liquid resources needed to continue to expand and support our current operations. Our external asset manager has broad investment authority to invest our excess capital resources in marketable debt and equity securities and also assists in our acquisition strategy by identifying potential acquisition and strategic opportunities. We have received referrals with respect to and have performed due diligence assessments on multiple target companies and strategic opportunities in a variety of industries. We work with several financial advisors and consultants on a non-exclusive basis, and have been able to filter leads and referrals through diverse channels enabling us to review a wide range of opportunities in a variety of industries. We have not focused our acquisition and strategic efforts on any specific industry, focusing instead on identifying well-priced businesses and assets that we believe have significant growth potential.

Recent Events

 

The global outbreak of COVID-19 was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization and a national emergency by the U.S. government in March 2020 and has negatively impacted the U.S. and global economy, disrupted global supply chains, resulted in significant travel and transport restrictions, including mandated closures and orders to “shelter-in-place,” and created significant disruption of the financial markets. The extent of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our operational and financial performance will depend on future developments, including the duration and spread of the pandemic and related actions taken by the U.S. government, state and local government officials, and international governments to prevent disease spread, all of which are uncertain and cannot be predicted.

Our acquisition processMCA segment experienced a decline in revenues during the last four months of our fiscal year ended June 30, 2020, which management believes is predominantly due to the economic uncertainties caused by the pandemic, and we anticipate our MCA revenues will continue to be adversely affected while major parts of the U.S. economy are restricted by mandatory business shut-downs and/or stay-at-home orders, as well as other effects of the pandemic. We and our finance partners decreased our volume of new funding arrangements while evaluating the effect of the current economic uncertainties on the MCA business and its customers during the third quarter of our fiscal year 2020. During the fourth quarter of our fiscal year 2020, management concluded that it would not resume funding MCAs with MCA originators and would focus our MCA segment exclusively on MCA syndication fee income generated by our LMCS business unit. Our reduced participation in MCA funding through originators reduces our syndication fee income and revenue from direct funding of MCAs. We anticipate continued lower funding of new MCAs and reduced collection volume on outstanding MCAs until the economic situation caused by the pandemic stabilizes and a greater level of economic activity returns. Additionally, while originators of MCAs modified their underwriting criteria during the fourth quarter of our fiscal year ended June 30, 2020 and focused new funding on identifying fairly- to under-valued businesses that have growth potential. Due to current market conditions we have faced significant competition from strategic and, in particular, financial buyers which in many instances have raised seller valuation expectations above what we considerbeen deemed “essential services” during the pandemic, it remains to be attractiveseen whether essential businesses will pursue MCAs at levels sufficient to offset the declines in MCA collections for usthe foregoing reasons.

On July 17, 2020, LMCS entered into a series of transactions resulting in its recapitalization. The transactions included an amendment to the operating agreement of LMCS that reduced our ownership from 80% to 51% of LMCS and the grant by the Company to LMCS’ non-controlling member of a right to purchase the Company’s remaining equity interests in LMCS upon the occurrence of certain conditions, including, without limitation, the repayment of an intercompany note from the Company to LMCS. The transaction also included (i) the waiver of LMCS’ obligations to pay contingent consideration to the non-controlling member, (ii) the termination of certain warrants to purchase the Company’s capital stock held by certain affiliates of the non-controlling member, (iii) the assignment of certain contractual rights of LMCS to the non-controlling member, and (iv) the amendment of an intercompany note from the Company to LMCS. All conditions required for the non-controlling member to have the right to repurchase LMCS have been met as of the filing date of this report, with the exception of the repayment of the intercompany note.


The economic impact of the ongoing pandemic on our stockholders.LMCS business unit and the decision not to provide additional resources to LMCS to fund MCAs through MCA originators in the future triggered the requirement for an impairment test of the goodwill and long-lived assets attributable to our LMCS business unit during the fourth quarter of our fiscal year ended June 30, 2020. As a result of the impairment tests, we concluded that the goodwill, definite-lived intangible assets, and right-of-use lease assets attributable to our LMCS business unit were impaired as of June 30, 2020, and we recorded a $1.4 million impairment charge. Furthermore, these same impairment indicators, coupled with the post-fiscal-year-end waiver of LMCS’ obligations to pay contingent consideration to its non-controlling member and termination of certain warrants to purchase the Company’s capital stock held by certain affiliates of the non-controlling member, resulted in the full write off of our contingent consideration liability payable to the non-controlling member, in the amount of $3.1 million during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020.

We believe that our real estate borrowers will continue to be able to service their real estate loans by paying principal and interest as payments become due. We continue to develop real estate for future sale. While we do not believe that fairly-any of these projects warrant impairment charges or other reserves at this point, we do expect that the economic impact of the pandemic will result in a delay in the eventual sale of this real estate.

Through most of the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020, we continued to actively evaluate and under-valued opportunities existengage with potential acquisition target candidates; however, the pandemic delayed our due diligence process by impeding our ability to participate in in-person site visits and are attainablephysical tours and do not intendcomplicated our ability to pursue what we considerplace valuations on targets given the uncertainty in the global markets. We expect this uncertainty to be overvalued businesses and assets that we believe may not delivercontinue as the levels of returns that we target.pandemic persists over the next few months.

 

In additionAugust 2020, we established CCUR Aviation Finance, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary through which we operate our aviation funding business. Since August 2018, we have periodically funded aviation deposit purchases for a fee, and we expect this business to its pursuit of acquisition opportunities, the Investment Committee is tasked with creating operating activitiescontinue and businesses that will enhance stockholder value. To that end, duringgrow. We have reported income from this business within our MCA segment. During fiscal year 2018,2020, we provided $17.5 million in funding for aviation deposits.

At thisBoard of Directors from time the Company does not expect any significant increase in expenses for its real estate operations as its existing management team has significant experience in this sector and believes that they can manage the business without adding additional staffing resources. As these operations grow, we plan to leverage our contacts and potential strategic partnerships to help source continued opportunities for this business. As a part of its real estate operations, the Company plans to continue to assess opportunities to create value through real property ownership, financing and/or development, among other strategies. The Company intends to continue to build on its current operations through its newly formed subsidiary while it continues to evaluate acquisition and strategic opportunities (inside or outside of the real estate sector).

Application of Critical Accounting Policies

 

The SEC defines “critical accounting policies” as those that require application of management’s most difficult, subjective, or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain and may change in subsequent periods.

 

The following is not intended to be a comprehensive list of all our accounting policies. Our significant accounting policies are more fully described in Note 21 to the consolidated financial statements. In many cases, the accounting treatment of a transaction is specifically dictated by accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S.,United States, with no need for management’s judgment in their application. There are also areas in which management’s judgment in selecting an available alternative would not produce a materially different result.

 


We have identified the following as accounting policies critical to us:

 

Valuation of Financial InstrumentsRevenue Recognition for MCA Syndication Fee Income

We discloserecognize revenue when our performance obligations with our customers have been satisfied. Our performance obligation is to facilitate funding for MCA originators through the LMCS syndication network. The performance obligation is satisfied at a point in time when the syndicate participants provide MCA originators with capital by purchasing participation interests in funded MCAs.

We determine the transaction price based on the fixed consideration in our contractual agreements, which do not contain any variable consideration. As we have identified only one distinct performance obligation, the transaction price is allocated entirely to this service. In determining the transaction price, a significant financing component does not exist, since the timing from when we perform this service to when the syndicate participants fund the MCA is less than one year, and we are not paid in advance for the performance of our services.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets

Goodwill represents the excess of purchase price over the fair value of the net assets of businesses acquired. We review goodwill at least annually for impairment. In our financial instruments accordingevaluation of goodwill impairment, we perform a qualitative assessment that requires management judgment and the use of estimates to determine if it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than the reporting unit’s carrying amount. An entity has an unconditional option to bypass the qualitative assessment for any reporting unit and proceed directly to performing the quantitative goodwill impairment test. An entity may resume performing the qualitative assessment in any subsequent period. We perform our annual impairment tests as of December 31 of each year, unless circumstances indicate the need to accelerate the timing of the tests. We completed our annual impairment test of goodwill as of December 31, 2019 and concluded that there was no impairment.

Intangible assets include trade name, non-competition agreements, and syndicate participant/originator relationships, are subject to amortization over their respective useful lives, and are classified in definite-lived intangibles, net, in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. These intangibles are evaluated for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the assets may not be fully recoverable. If facts and circumstances indicate that the carrying value might not be recoverable, projected undiscounted net cash flows associated with the related assets or groups of assets over their estimated remaining useful lives is compared against their respective carrying amounts. If an asset is found to be impaired, the impairment charge will be measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its fair value.

Subsequent to completion of our annual goodwill impairment analysis, the COVID-19 virus developed into a pandemic that significantly impacted the global economy. Our MCA segment experienced a decline in revenues during the last quarter of our fiscal year ended June 30, 2020, which management believes is predominantly due to the economic uncertainties caused by the pandemic, and we anticipate our MCA revenues will continue to be adversely affected while major parts of the U.S. economy are restricted by mandatory business shut-downs and/or stay-at-home orders, as well as other effects of the pandemic. We decreased our volume of new funding arrangements while evaluating the effect of the current economic uncertainties on the MCA business and its customers during the third quarter of our fiscal year 2020. During the fourth quarter of our fiscal year 2020, management concluded that it would not resume funding MCAs with MCA originators and would focus our MCA segment exclusively on MCA syndication fee income generated by our LMCS business unit and funding aviation purchase deposits for fees. Our reduced participation in MCA funding through originators reduces our syndication fee income and revenue from direct funding of MCAs. We anticipate continued lower funding of new MCAs and reduced collection volume on outstanding MCAs until the economic situation caused by the pandemic stabilizes and a greater level of economic activity returns.

The economic impact of the ongoing pandemic on the LMCS business and decision not to provide additional resources to LMCS to fund MCAs through MCA originators in the future triggered the requirement for a quantitative impairment test of the goodwill and long-lived assets attributable to our LMCS business unit during the fourth quarter of our fiscal year ended June 30, 2020. As a result of the impairment tests, we concluded that the goodwill, definite-lived intangible assets, and right-of-use lease assets attributable to our LMCS business unit were impaired as of June 30, 2020. Please see Note 6 for further discussion.


Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly fashion between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities required or permitted to be either recorded or disclosed at fair value, we consider the most advantageous market in which transactions would occur and we consider assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability.

Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, requires certain disclosures regarding fair value and establishes a fair value hierarchy (Levels I, II, and III, as defined below). ASC 820 "Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures" establishes a framework for valuation inputs. The hierarchy prioritizes the inputs into three levels based on the extent to which inputs used in measuring fair value and expands financial statement disclosure requirements forare observable in the market. Each fair value measurements. ASC 820 further specifies a hierarchymeasurement is reported in one of valuation techniques,the three levels, which are determined by the lowest level input that is based on whethersignificant to the inputs into the valuation technique are observable or unobservable.fair value measurement in its entirety. The hierarchy is as follows:levels are:

 

·Level 1Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

 

17

·Level 2Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are either directly or indirectly observable; and

·Level 3Assets or liabilities for which fair value is based on valuation models with significant unobservable pricing inputs and which include the use of management estimates.

 

Our investment portfolio consists of money market funds, domestic and international commercial paper, equity securities, mortgage loans, and corporate debt. All highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased are considered to be cash equivalents. All cash equivalents are carried at cost less any unamortized premium or discount, which approximates fair value. All investments with original maturities of more than three months which are not classified as held-to-maturity or trading securities, are classified as available-for-sale, trading, or held-to-maturity investments. Our marketable securities, other than equity securities, are classified as available-for-sale, and are reported at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses, net of tax, reported in stockholders’ equity as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income or loss. Interest on securities is recordedreported in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations in interest income. Any realizedDividends paid by securities are reported in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations in other income. Realized gains or losses would be shownare reported in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations in net realized gain on investments.

We used Level 3 inputs to determine the fair value of our preferred stock investments. The Company has elected the measurement alternative and will record the investments at cost adjusted for observable price changes for an identical or similar investment of the same issuer. Observable price changes and impairment indicators will be assessed each reporting period.

We also used Level 3 inputs to determine the fair value of our contingent consideration and common stock purchase warrants related to the LuxeMark Acquisition. The Company used a Monte Carlo simulation technique to value the performance-based contingent consideration and common stock purchase warrants. This technique is a probabilistic model which relies on repeated random sampling to obtain numerical results. As of June 30, 2020, we reduced the fair value of contingent consideration related to the LuxeMark Acquisition, as management decided to reduce funding of MCAs and the contingent consideration agreements were terminated on July 17, 2020.

We provide fair value measurementsmeasurement disclosures of our available-for-sale securities in accordance with one of the three levels of fair value measurement.

Commercial and Mortgage Loans and Loan Losses

We have potential exposure to transaction losses as a result of uncollectibility of commercial mortgage and other loans. We base our reserve estimates on prior charge-off history and currently available information that is indicative of a transaction loss. We reflect additions to the reserve in current operating results, while we make charges to the reserve when we incur losses. We reflect recoveries in the reserve for transaction losses as collected.

We have the intent and ability to hold these loans to maturity or payoff, and as such have classified these loans as held-for-investment. These loans are reported on the balance sheet at the outstanding principal balance adjusted for any charge-offs, allowance for loan losses, and deferred fees or costs. As of June 30, 2020, we have not recorded any charge-offs, and believe that an allowance for loan losses is not required.


Advances Receivable

In December 2018, we began purchasing participation interests in MCAs from third parties whose principal activity is originating MCAs to small businesses. MCAs are contracts formed through future receivables purchase and sale agreements, which stipulate the purchase price, or the amount advanced, and the specified amount, or the advance amount plus the factored receivable balance that will be repaid, on the face of the contract. Generally, a specified amount will be withdrawn from the merchant’s bank account via daily or weekly automatic transactions in order to pay down the merchant’s advance. These are not consumer loan contracts, nor are they installment loan contracts to businesses for business use only. In addition, there is no financial assetsmonthly minimum payment, nor is there a specific repayment schedule.

Allowance for MCA Credit Losses

The allowance for credit losses for MCAs is established at the time of funding through a provision for losses charged to our consolidated statement of operations based on an analysis of our charge-off history and historical performance experienced by an industry peer group. Losses are charged against the allowance when management believes that are measuredthe future collection in full of purchased receivables is unlikely. We review our MCA receivables on a recurringregular basis and charge off any MCA receivables for which the merchant has not made a payment in 90 days or more. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the provision for credit losses on advances. The establishment of appropriate reserves is an inherently uncertain process, and ultimate losses may vary from the current estimates. We regularly update our reserve estimates as new facts become known and events occur that fall within Level 3may affect the settlement or recovery of the fair value hierarchy.losses. In addition, new facts and circumstances may adversely affect our MCA portfolio, resulting in increased delinquencies and losses, and could require additional provisions for credit losses, which could impact future periods.

 

Income Taxes

 

As part of the process of preparing our consolidated financial statements, we are required to estimate income taxes in each of the jurisdictions in which we operate. The provision for income taxes is determined using the asset and liability approach for accounting for income taxes. A current liability is recognized for the estimated taxes payable for the current fiscal year. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the enacted tax rates in effect for the fiscal year in which the timing differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effecteffects on deferred tax assets and liabilities of changes in tax rates or tax laws are recognized in the provision for income taxes in the period that includes the enactment date.

 

Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount more-likely-than-notmore likely than not to be realized. To the extent we establish or change the valuation allowance in a period, the tax effect will generally flow through the consolidated statement of operations. In the case of an acquired or merged entity, we will record any valuation allowance on a deferred tax asset established through purchase accounting procedures as an adjustment to goodwill at the acquisition date. Any subsequent change to a valuation allowance established during purchase accounting that occurs within the measurement period of the acquisition (a period not to exceed 12 months) will also be recorded as an adjustment to goodwill, provided that such a change relates to new information about the facts and circumstances that existed on the acquisition date. All other changes to a valuation allowance established during purchase accounting will flow through the consolidated statement of operations.

 

The determination of our provision for income taxes requires significant judgment, the use of estimates, and the interpretation and application of complex tax laws. We are subject to income taxes in the U.S.United States and numerousseveral foreign jurisdictions. Significant judgment is required in determining our worldwide provision for income taxes and recording the related tax assets and liabilities. In the ordinary course of our business, there are transactions and calculations for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. Despite our belief that we have appropriate support for all the positions taken on our tax returns, we acknowledge that certain positions may be successfully challenged by the taxing authorities. Therefore, an accrual for uncertainty in income taxes is provided for when necessary. If we have accruals for uncertainty in income taxes, these accruals are reviewed quarterly and reversed upon being sustained under audit, the expiration of the statute of limitations, new information, or other determination by the taxing authorities. The provision for income taxes includes the impact of changes in uncertainty in income taxes. Although we believe our recorded tax assets and liabilities are reasonable, tax laws and regulations are subject to interpretation and inherent uncertainty. Therefore, our assessments can involve both a series of complex judgments about future events and relyreliance on estimates and assumptions. Although we believe these estimates and assumptions are reasonable, the final determination could be materially different than that which is reflected in our provision for income taxes and recorded tax assets and liabilities.

 

18

 

In the calculation of our quarterly provision for income taxes, we use an annual effective rate based on expected annual income and statutory tax rates, which may require judgments and estimates. The tax (or benefit) applicable to significant unused or infrequently occurring items, discontinued operations or extraordinary items are separately recognized in the income tax provision in the quarter in which they occur.

 

In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, we consider whether it is more-likely-than-notmore likely than not that some portion or all of our deferred tax assets will not be realized. In determining whether or not a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets is needed, we evaluate all available evidence, both positive and negative, including: trends in operating income or losses;losses, currently available information about future years;tax years, future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences;differences, future taxable income exclusive of reversing temporary differences and carryforwards;carryforwards, taxable income in prior carryback tax years if carryback is permitted under the tax law;law, and tax planning strategies that would accelerate taxable amounts to utilize expiring carryforwards, change the character of taxable and deductible amounts from ordinary income or loss to capital gain or loss, or switch from tax-exempt to taxable investments. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible.

 

As of June 30, 2018,2020, we maintain a full valuation allowance on our net deferred tax assets in all jurisdictions, with the exception of the $975 thousand AMT credit carryforward that is now considered refundable after the enactment of the TCJA. We do not have sufficient evidence of future income to conclude that it is more likely than not that the Company will realize its entire U. S. deferred tax inventory in anywith the exception of its jurisdictions (U.S., Germany, Spain, Hong Kong, United Kingdom,the aforementioned NOLs and Australia).credits expected to expire before usage. Therefore, we have recognized a full valuation allowance on the Company’s U. S. NOLs and credits expected to expire before usage, as well as on our German deferred tax inventory.assets. We reevaluate our conclusions quarterly regarding the valuation allowance and will make appropriate adjustments as necessary in the period in which significant changes occur.

 

Tax Cuts and Jobs Act

TCJA includes numerous changes to the U.S. tax code that could affect our business, such as the reduction in the U.S. federal corporate tax rate and the one-time Transition Tax on the deemed repatriation of foreign subsidiaries' earnings. As a result, as of June 30, 2018, we have provided an $8.9 million provisional estimate of the impact of the reduction in the U.S. federal corporate tax rate on our deferred tax balances. Due to our full valuation allowance position in the U.S., with the exception of the $975 thousand AMT credit carryforward, this provisional impact did not have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements for fiscal year 2018. We have provisionally estimated no Transition Tax will be owed due to the ability to offset the earnings of foreign subsidiaries with the losses from unprofitable foreign subsidiaries. We have provided these provisional estimates under the guidelines of the SEC's Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118, "Income Tax Accounting Implications of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act" ("SAB 118").

As a result of the TCJA, we are reassessing our intentions related to our indefinite reinvestment assertion as part of our provisional estimates. Should we decide to no longer indefinitely reinvest such foreign earnings outside the U.S., we would have to adjust the income tax provision in the period such determination is made. The Company currently has an immaterial amount of cash available for repatriation of less than $50 thousand. After the TCJA, there should be no federal income taxes that would be due upon repatriation. Any other impact, such as withholding tax, state taxes, or foreign exchange rate changes, should be immaterial based on the amount of cash held overseas.

Defined BenefitDefined-Benefit Pension Plan

 

We maintain defined benefitdefined-benefit pension plans (the “Pension Plans”) for a number of former employees of our German subsidiary (“participants”). In 1998, the Pension Plans were closed to new employees and no existing employees are eligible to participate, as all eligible participants are no longer employed by CCUR.the Company. The Pension Plans provide benefits to be paid to all participants at retirement based primarily on years of service with CCURthe Company and compensation rates in effect near retirement. Our policy is to fund benefits attributed to participants’ services to date. The determination of our Pension Plans’ benefit obligations and expenses areis dependent on our selection of certain assumptions used by actuaries in calculating such amounts. Those assumptions include, among others, the weighted averageweighted-average discount rate and the weighted averageweighted-average expected rate of return on plan assets. To the extent that these assumptions change, our future benefit obligation and net periodic pension expense may be positively or negatively impacted.

Results of Operations

 

MCA revenue includes fees from advances that we provide on future merchant receivables, as well as fees earned for sourcing both syndication capital and merchant leads for MCA originators. We generate revenue from interest on loans by entering into commercial loan agreements to fund third party originators in the MCA industry and real estate industry.

GeneralSelling, general, and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses consist primarily of salaries, benefits, overhead, managementcommissions, rent, travel, administrative personnel human resources,costs, information systems, insurance, investor relations, accounting, legal services, board of director fees and expenses, and other professional services.

InterestOther interest income is earned on cash overnight sweep accounts and money market deposits as well as investments in commercial paper, debt securities, and the secured loans involved in our real estate operation.securities. Interest income also includes accretion of discounts forrelated to transactions in which we purchased debt securities whereby such discount ison the secondary markets at a discount. Such discounts are amortized over the termterms of theeach debt security to itsthe commitment valuevalues that will be due on theeach maturity date, as well as early repayment. Additionally, we also earn PIK interest from one of our debt securities whereby interest is paid in the form of an increase in the commitment value due from the debt security issuer on the maturity date.


Fiscal Year 20182020 in Comparison to Fiscal Year 20172019

 

GeneralConsolidated Revenues and Administrative.Income. General and administrative expenses were $7.4During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020, we generated $5.9 million of total revenue, compared to $3.5 million during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2019. The increase was driven largely by our increased participation in the MCA industry. Our net income for fiscal year 2018,2020 increased to $13.0 million, compared to $0.6 million during fiscal year 2019. This increase was attributable to a $6.0 million income tax benefit resulting from the release of a substantial portion of the valuation allowance on our deferred tax assets, our investments in certain debt and equity securities, and an increase in our income before income tax driven by our MCA operations.

MCA Operations Segment Revenues. We generated $5.6 million of $1.7revenue from MCA operations during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020, compared to $2.6 million during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2019. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020, we maintained a larger weighted-average outstanding balance of funded MCAs compared to the prior year, and consequently earned higher MCA revenue during the current period relative to the fiscal year ended June 30, 2019. Our syndication fee revenue during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020 benefited from a full year of syndication activity, while in the prior fiscal year, we only began generating syndication revenue after the LuxeMark Acquisition in mid-February 2019. Additionally, as part of our MCA business, we originated term loans to an MCA originator so that it may fund additional MCAs. These loans generated $0.9 million of interest income during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020. Our MCA operations revenues for the fiscal year are as follows:

  Fiscal Year Ended
June 30,
 
  2020  2019 
  (Amounts in thousands) 
MCA revenue $3,240  $1,694 
Syndication fee revenue  1,288   693 
Fee income on MCA leads generation  154   93 
MCA fees and other revenue  4,682   2,480 
Interest on loans to MCA originators  887   117 
Total MCA operations segment revenue $5,569  $2,597 

MCA revenue from interest on loans to MCA originators is categorized as MCA operations revenue for purposes of segment reporting but reported within the line item Interest on mortgage and commercial loans within our consolidated statements of operations.

Revenues from each of the revenue sources within our MCA segment increased year over year because, for our fiscal 2020, we reported 12 months of MCA revenues from the LMCS business unit which we established in February of the prior fiscal year upon the LuxeMark acquisition. However, with the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic during the third quarter of our fiscal year 2020, we experienced declines of MCA revenues during the latter half of the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020. This occurred as (i) fewer merchants are meeting MCA underwriting criteria, which reduces our syndication fee income and ability to generate revenue by funding MCAs, (ii) underwriters are less interested in purchasing leads, and (iii) a portion of our merchants, in coordination with the originators, have reduced or 29.8%,paused payments to better weather the current economic downturn, which reduces our MCA revenues. Furthermore, we reduced our volume of MCA funding during the third quarter of our fiscal 2020, primarily as a result of our efforts to better evaluate the impact of the pandemic on MCA assets before funding additional assets. We anticipate continued lower funding and collection volSSSSume over the next few months and are uncertain as to the long-term impact of the pandemic at this point. After the end of our fiscal year, we entered into a series of agreements with Old LuxeMark pursuant to which our interest in LMCS was reduced from $5.780% to 51%. After the repayment of the outstanding balance of the Master Promissory Note issued by LMCS to the Company, Old LuxeMark has the right to purchase the remaining 51% equity interest in LMCS for nominal consideration. We are reviewing our strategic options with respect to our continued participation in the MCA industry.

Real Estate Operations Segment Revenues. We generated $0.3 million of revenue from real estate operations for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020, as compared to $0.9 million for the priorfiscal year period.ended June 30, 2019. The decrease in revenue resulted from the decrease in interest on commercial mortgage loans due to borrower payoffs outpacing originations.


SG&A Expenses. SG&A expenses were $7.7 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020, a $4.0 million, or 109.0%, increase from the fiscal year ended June 30, 2019. This increase was primarily due to:to the following:

 

·$1.5A $3.4 million of additional share-based compensation expenses. The additional share-based compensation expense resulted from $1.7 million of expenseincrease in our fiscal year 2018 from the acceleration of restricted share award vesting dueexpenses for fees paid to the sale of our Content Delivery business on December 31, 2017;
·$0.5 million of incremental bonuses related toAsset Manager. During the completion of the sale of our Content Delivery business;
·$0.1 million increase due to termination fees paid upon the resignation of three of our independent directors in the firstfourth quarter of our fiscal year 2018;2020, the Company and
·$0.1 the Asset Manager entered into an Omnibus Amendment regarding the Management Agreement and SARs Agreement (the “Amendment”), whereby all SARs issued to the asset manager may be exercisable upon grant, rather than the previous condition requiring a change in control of the business before exercise. This modification resulted in approximately $2.8 million of incremental severance expense. Inexpense recorded during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 20182020 for all previously issued SARs as well as SARs expected to be issued in exchange for asset management services during the fourth quarter of our fiscal year 2020. Additionally, as part of the Amendment, we incurred $0.7paid $0.4 million in cash to the Asset Manager as a one-time fee calculated based upon the number of SARs issued to the Asset Manager as of our February 24, 2020 dividend record date, multiplied by the $0.50 per share one-time dividend declared February 2020 and paid in March 2020. The remaining $0.1 million of severancethis increase resulted from additional expense primarily related to our former CEO and another senior employee that did not transferreimbursement fees paid by the Company to the Content Delivery business, whereas inAsset Manager over the full 12 months of our fiscal year 2017 we incurred $0.6 million2020, compared to a partial year during which the asset management agreement was in severance to two other executives upon the sale ofplace during our Real-Time business.fiscal year 2019.

These cost increases were partially offset by the following decreases in fiscal year 2018 general and administrative expenses, compared to the same period in the prior year:

 

·a $0.3A $0.5 million decreaseincrease in accounting fees, primarily dueoperating expenses and commissions attributable to changing auditors and priorour MCA operations that we incurred during the full 12 months of our fiscal year audit work incurred for transactions that did not materialize; and2020, compared to only 4.5 months of our fiscal year 2019.

·a $0.3A $0.4 million reduction in personnel costs as we have reduced our staffincrease from corporate compensation attributable to appropriate levels while we look for strategic investment opportunities.salaries from additional employees and financial performance bonuses earned during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020.

These increases to SG&A expense during our fiscal year 2020 were partially offset by a decrease in acquisition-related costs, as the prior year included $0.3 million of expenses related to the LuxeMark Acquisition.

Amortization of Purchased Intangibles. Our amortization of purchased intangibles includes amortization over the respective useful lives of the trade name, non-competition agreements, and investor/originator relationships attributable to the LuxeMark Acquisition. Our intangible assets are evaluated for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the assets may not be fully recoverable. We acquired these intangibles as part of the LuxeMark Acquisition on February 13, 2019.

Impairment of Goodwill and Long-Lived Assets and Change in Fair Value of Contingent Consideration. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020, we recorded a $1.7 million net gain from the change in fair value of contingent consideration payable to Old LuxeMark, partially offset by impairment charges attributable to the goodwill, purchased intangibles, and right-of-use lease assets of our LMCS business unit, as further detailed below:

  Fiscal Year Ended
June 30,
 
  2020  2019 
  (Amounts in thousands) 
Impairment charges:        
Goodwill $780  $- 
Purchased intangibles  562   - 
Leased asset  53   - 
Impairment of goodwill and long-lived assets  1,395   - 
         
(Gain) loss on adjustment to fair value of contingent consideration $(3,090) $730 
Impairment of goodwill and long-lived assets and fair value adjustment to fair value of contingent consideration, net $(1,695) $730 


The decrease in estimated contingent consideration liability associated with the LuxeMark Acquisition resulted from (i) LMCS not meeting the minimum performance levels to earn the calendar year 2019 earnout, and (ii) termination of the earnout agreements on July 17, 2020. These same facts and circumstances resulted in the impairment of the LMCS business unit’s purchased intangibles, other long-lived assets, and goodwill, which partially offset the gain from reducing the fair value of the contingent consideration liability.

Provision for Credit Losses on Advances. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020, we recorded a $0.8 million provision for credit losses on MCAs, a $0.8 million, or 47.1%, decrease from the fiscal year ended June 30, 2019. The year-over-year decrease in provision expense resulted from decreases in the amounts of MCAs funded in the current year versus the prior year, and from our shift away from originators with higher default rates to those with lower default rates. Recent MCA funding activity decreased primarily as a result of our efforts to better evaluate the impact of the pandemic on MCA assets before funding additional assets. Included within the $0.8 million current year provision for credit losses is $0.3 million of provision expense for existing MCAs during the current period due to our anticipated impact of the pandemic on merchant repayment activity.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

We believe we have sufficient liquidity and capital resources to continue funding our operations and sustain currently expected levels of capital expenditures over the next 12 months. While we maintain significant amounts of cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities which we may use to fund our operations and make investments, the pandemic has had a significant impact on credit and capital markets, which may adversely affect our ability to access third-party debt or equity financing. Our future liquidity will be affected by, among other things:

 

·our future access to capital;

 

·our exploration and evaluation of strategic alternatives and development of new operating assets;

 

·our ability to collect on our commercial loans and advances receivable;

·the numberliquidity and fair value of countries in which we operate, which may require maintenanceour debt and equity securities;

·the longevity of minimumthe pandemic and severity of impact on our income and cash levels in each country and, in certain cases, may restrict the repatriation of cash, by requiring us to maintain levels of capital;flows;

 

·our ongoing operating expenses; and

 

·potential liquidation of the Company pursuant to an organized plan of liquidation.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

 

Fiscal Year 2018Ending June 30, 2020

 

During the fiscal year 2018,ended June 30, 2020 we generated $28.3$4.0 million of cash, net, from investing activities. Our net cash inflows were primarily driven by liquidations of $5.3 million more in debt and equity securities than investments in debt and equity securities during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020. Our collections of principal on mortgage and commercial loans outpaced new loan funding amounts during the current fiscal year by $1.3 million. Our mortgage and commercial loan borrowers are all current with their required payments as of June 30, 2020. Our mortgage loans typically require interest-only payments until maturity or payoff. Partially offsetting these investing cash inflows, we experienced $2.3 million of net investing cash outflows from funding and collecting MCAs and aviation deposits receivable, primarily due to increased funding of aviation deposits during the latter half of the current fiscal year, many of which are not expected to be collected until the first quarter of our fiscal year 2021. Additionally, we invested an additional $0.3 million in a real estate development project which we expect to monetize in the latter half of our fiscal year 2021 or early fiscal year 2022.

Fiscal Year Ending June 30, 2019

During our fiscal year ended June 30, 2019 we used $26.8 million of cash, net, for investing activities. We funded $8.3 million of commercial loans, $5.6 million of which were mortgage loans through our real estate operating subsidiary, Recur. We received $5.8 million from principal payments during our fiscal year 2019, as four loans were paid off during the period. We also funded a $2.8 million loan to an MCA originator during the period.


In fiscal year 2019, we entered into an arrangement with certain MCA originators to participate in funding MCA originations. We made initial advances of $8.0 million to one originator, who in turn advanced these funds to merchants as part of a syndication. As merchant receivables have been collected, we have used the collected funds to fund additional MCAs. Through June 30, 2019, we had funded $18.1 million in MCAs (including the original $8.0 million) and collected $9.8 million of merchant receivables as repayment for these advances. Additionally, we provided $4.8 million of cash advances to an aviation business to fund deposits required for aircraft purchases for up to six months, in exchange for paying us an upfront fee. We collected $2.0 million of these aviation advances during our fiscal year 2019.

As part of our real estate operations, in fiscal year 2019 we acquired land in the amount of $3.3 million for the purpose of development. The acquisition costs include costs to acquire the land, including interest and other expenses that have been capitalized as part of the purchase price. We continue to hold and develop the land as of June 30, 2020.

In our fiscal year 2019, we acquired the assets of Old LuxeMark through our subsidiary, LMCS, and retained an 80% interest in LMCS in exchange for an initial payment of $1.2 million and the issuance of a 20% interest in LMCS to Old LuxeMark. Additionally, the Purchase Agreement required the Company to pay to Old LuxeMark four earnout payments of up to $1,000,000 each if fully earned through the achievement of agreed-upon distributable net income (“DNI”) thresholds. The earnout payments are calculated based on DNI for each of the calendar years ending on December 31, 2019, 2020, 2021, and 2022, and any such payments earned would likely be paid in the third quarters of our fiscal years 2020, 2021, 2022, and 2023. As of July 17, 2020, both parties agreed to terminate the contingent earnout consideration as part of a recapitalization of LMCS.

Our remaining fiscal year 2019 investing activities consisted of $22.2 million in purchases and $12.0 million in maturities or sales of debt and equity securities for the purpose of funding our operating expenses as we continue to evolve our real estate and MCA operating businesses and actively search for additional operating businesses to acquire, as well as collection of the $1.45 million of proceeds from the sale of ourthe Content Delivery business $18.8 million of cash from the maturity of available-for-sale securities, $8.0 million from the collection of a short-term mortgage loan, and $2.0 million from the collection of funds held in escrow for one year subsequent to the prior year sale of our Real Time business. During the same period, we invested $32.4 million in available-for-sale and trading investments, $12.4 million in mortgage loans that we originated or purchased and $1.4 million in a deposit on a mortgage loan for a mortgage loan that closed after the reporting period. Subsequent to the sale of our Content Delivery business, we broadened our investment portfolio and assets to include corporate debt and equity securities, as well as mortgage loans that will be a part of the developing and expanding real estate operations managed through our new subsidiary Recur Holdings LLC. This shift in investments was for the purpose of improving our return on the proceeds from the recent sales of our prior 2017 operating businesses while we evaluate strategic alternatives.until January 2, 2019.

Fiscal Year 2017

During fiscal year 2017, we invested $0.9 million in property and equipment. These capital additions were for our prior 2017 operating businesses and primarily related to: (1) development and test equipment for our development groups and (2) demonstration systems used by our sales and marketing group. Fiscal year 2017 capital expenditures were driven by our initial investments in lab and test equipment for our Aquari™ storage development group.

We invested $6.9 million in short-term investments during the year ended June 30, 2017. We moved cash to these short-term investments in the third quarter of fiscal year 2017 so that we may earn a higher return than we had previously earned with our cash and cash equivalent balances. Our short-term investments consist of highly liquid commercial paper and have original maturities of more than 3 months but no more than 12 months.

In May 2017, we sold our Real-Time business for gross proceeds of $35.0 million in cash subject to working capital and other adjustments. Net proceeds from the sale received through June 30, 2017 totaling $31.0 million are as follows: (1) a $29.4 million payment to the Company in cash received on May 15, 2017 (including a reduction for estimated working capital of $0.8 million), (2) a $2.8 million payment in cash to the Company concurrently with the transfer of the European operations of the Real-Time business to the Purchaser received on May 30, 2017, less (3) $1.1 million in cash transferred in the sale. The remaining $2.0 million placed in escrow as security for certain purchase price adjustments and for the Company’s indemnification obligations was released to the Company in May 2018.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

On January 2, 2018,During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020 we purchasedused $6.4 million of cash for financing activities. During the fiscal year, we fully repaid the outstanding balance of a $1.6 million term loan. We repaid the balance with existing cash prior to maturity to reduce associated interest cost.

During our fiscal year 2020, the Company declared and retired 41,566 shares from certain non-Section 16 employees whose shares vested duepaid a one-time dividend of $0.50 per share, which resulted in $4.4 million of cash dividends paid during the year. Another $0.1 million of dividends declared during the year relate to restricted stock and will remain as dividends payable until the restricted stock vests.

During our fiscal year 2020, the Company distributed $0.3 million of cash to the changenon-controlling member of LMCS, representing the non-controlling member’s 20% interest in control triggered by the sale of our Content Delivery business on December 31, 2017. The $239 thousand repurchase of shares at $5.76 per share was approved by the Board of Directors on a one-time basis to facilitate employees’ payment of payroll withholding taxes due upon vesting of the shares. Shares were repurchased from employees only to the extent required to fund minimum required withholding taxes based on the closing price nearest to the December 31, 2017 vest date.LMCS’ DNI.

On March 5, 2018, we announced that our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to one million shares of the Company’s common stock. RepurchasesIn January 2019, we completed the purchase of the authorized one million shares, and the Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of an additional 500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock under a new repurchase program that replaces and supersedes the prior repurchase program. Purchases are made at the discretion of management through private transactions or open market or privately negotiated transactions or any combination of the same.

We paid two quarterly cash dividends, each for $0.12 per share, during the first two quarters of our fiscal year 2018, compared to four quarterly cash dividends, each for $0.12 per share, for our fiscal year 2017. We also paid less than $0.1 million of dividends that had been held as dividends payable from previous declarations to restricted stockholders for whom restrictions lapsed during the year. Additionally, in January 2018, as a result of the acceleration of vesting of substantially all of our previously unvested restricted stock triggered by the sale of our Content Delivery business, we paid $0.3 million of previously accrued dividends in January 2018. On October 27, 2017, we announced the Board of Directors’ decision to suspend future dividends after the payment of the December 2017 quarterly dividend while the Board of Directors and its Investment Committee consider potential acquisition targets and alternative uses of our continuing assets.Liquidity

 

Although, as of June 30, 2018, we did not and do not currently have any outstanding debt or borrowing facilities in place, we periodically review the need for credit arrangements. Based upon our existing cash balances, historical cash usage, and anticipated operating cash flow in the near term, we believe that existing cash balances will be sufficient to meet our anticipated working capital, capital expenditure requirements and any dividend payments for at least the next twelve months.

Recent Accounting Guidance

 

Recently Issued and Adopted Accounting Guidance

 

In July 2015,January 2016, theFinancial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”(the “FASB”)issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2015-11,Inventory (Topic 330): Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory2016-01 (“ASU 2015-11”2016-01”). This amendment requires that an entity measure its inventory at the “lower of cost and net realizable value.” Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal and transportation. Current literature requires measurement of inventory at “lower of cost or market.” Market could be replacement cost, net realizable value, or net realizable value less an approximate normal profit margin. ASU 2015-11 was effective for us on July 1, 2017,and we adopted the guidance prospectively. The adoption of ASU 2015-11 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements or disclosures.

23

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09,Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting (“ASU 2016-09”). ASU 2016-09 provides for simplification of certain aspects of employee share-based payment accounting including income taxes, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-09 was effective for us on July 1, 2017,and we adopted the guidance prospectively. The adoption of ASU 2016-09 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements or disclosures.

In March 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-05, “Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118”(“ASU 2018-05”)The amendments in ASU 2018-05 provide guidance on when to record and disclose provisional amounts for certain income tax effects of the TCJA. The amendments also require any provisional amounts or subsequent adjustments to be included in net income. Additionally, ASU 2018-05 discusses required disclosures that an entity must make with regard to the TCJA. ASU 2018-05 is effective immediately as new information is available to adjust provisional amounts that were previously recorded. We have adopted ASU 2018-05 and will continue to evaluate indicators that may give rise to a change in our tax provision as a result of the TCJA.

Recent Accounting Guidance Not Yet Adopted

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-01,,Financial Instruments-Overall: Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, as amended by ASU No. 2018-03,Financial Instruments-Overall: Technical Corrections and Improvements, issued in February 2018, on the recognition and measurement of financial instruments. The new guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted for the instrument-specific credit risk provision. The new guidance changes the current accounting guidance related to (i) the classification and measurement of certain equity investments, (ii) the presentation of changes in the fair value of financial liabilities measured under the fair value option that are due to instrument-specific credit risk, and (iii) certain disclosures associated with the fair value of financial instruments. Additionally, there willis no longer be a requirement to assess equity securities for impairment since such securities will beare now measured at fair value through net income. We will utilizeutilized a modified retrospective approach to adopt the new guidance effective July 1, 2018. Upon adoption, theThe impact related to the change in accounting for equity securities for theour fiscal year ended June 30, 2018 will be $318 thousandwas $0.3 million of net unrealized investment gains, net of income tax, reclassified from AOCI to retained earnings.

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02,Leases (Topic 842) (“ASU 2016-02”). ASU 2016-02 requires a lessee to recognize a, on the recognition of lease liability forassets and lease liabilities on the obligation to make lease payments and a right-to-use asset for the right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. ASU 2016-02balance sheet. The new guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluatingThe new guidance changes the effect that ASU 2016-02 will have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13Financial Instruments - Credit Losses - Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (Topic 326), or ASU 2016-13. ASU 2016-13 significantly changes how entities will measure credit losses for most financial assets and certain other instruments that are not measured at fair value through net income.  Thecurrent accounting guidance will replace the “incurred loss” approach under existing guidance with an “expected loss” model for instruments measured at amortized cost and require entities to record allowances for available-for-sale debt securities rather than reduce the carrying amount, as they do today under the other-than-temporary impairment model. It also simplifies the accounting model for purchased credit-impaired debt securities and loans. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 and is to be adopted through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is effective. While the Company is currently evaluating the impact ASU 2016-13 will have on our consolidated financial statements beginning July 1, 2019, we expect that the adoption may result in higher provisions for potential loan losses.

24

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15,Clarification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments (“ASU 2016-15”), which eliminates the diversity in practice related to the classificationrecognition of certain cash receipts and payments in the statement of cash flows, by adding or clarifying guidance on eight specific cash flow issues. ASU 2016-15 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The amendments in this update should be applied retrospectively to all periods presented, unless deemed impracticable, in which case, prospective application is permitted.We do not expect ASU 2016-15 to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements or disclosures.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-01 -Business Combinations (Topic 805) (“ASU 2017-01”), which clarifies the definition of a business. For accounting and financial reporting purposes, businesses are generally comprised of three elements; inputs, processes, and outputs. Integrated sets oflease assets and activities capable of providing these three elements may not always be considered a business, and the lack of one of the three elements does not always disqualify the set from being a business. The issuance of ASU 2017-01 provides a clarifying screen to determine when a set of assets and activities is not a business. Primarily, the screen requires that when substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or group of similar identifiable assets, the set is not a business. The amendments contained in ASU 2017-01 are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and may belease liabilities. We early adopted for certain transactions that have occurred before the new guidance effective date, but only when the underlying transaction has not been reportedJune 30, 2019, as further disclosed in theNote 16 to these financial statements that have been issued or made available for issuance. We do not expect ASU 2017-01 to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements or disclosures unless we enter into a business combination.

In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-09,Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting (“ASU 2017-09”), to provide clarity and reduce both diversity in practice and cost complexity when applying the guidance in Topic 718 to a change to the terms and conditions of a share-based payment award. ASU 2017-09 also provides guidance about the types of changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award that require an entity to apply modification accounting in accordance with Topic 718. ASU 2017-09 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and for interim periods therein. Early adoption is permitted. We do not expect the adoption of ASU 2017-09 to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements or disclosures.statements.

 

In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-02,Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Topic 220)(“ASU 2018-02”), which permits entities to reclassify the tax effects stranded in accumulated other comprehensive income as a result of recent U.S.United States federal tax reforms to retained earnings. The guidance also requires entities to disclose their accounting policies with regards to the treatment of stranded tax effects not related to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. It allows entities to elect either a “security-by-security” approach or a “portfolio approach” to recognize the stranded tax effects from a valuation allowance release. Under the security-by-security approach, an entity will recognize the stranded tax effects associated with individual securities as it disposes of each security. Under the portfolio approach, an entity will recognize the stranded tax effects associated with a portfolio of securities when it has disposed of all securities within that portfolio. Entities can elect to apply the guidance retrospectively or in the period of adoption. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 and interim periods therein, with early adoption permitted. We do not expect thatadopted the adoption of thisnew guidance will have aeffective July 1, 2019 with no material impact on our consolidated financial statements or disclosures. We elected the portfolio approach to recognize the stranded tax effects from our valuation allowance release.

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-03, Codification Improvements to Financial Instruments (“ASU 2020-03”). ASU 2020-03 provides changes to clarify or improve existing guidance. This guidance is effective upon issuance. We adopted the new guidance effective March 31, 2020 with no impact on our consolidated financial statements or disclosures.

 


Recent Accounting Guidance Not Yet Adopted

In JuneAugust 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-07,2018-13, ImprovementsFair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework — Changes to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accountingthe Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement (“ASU 2018-07”No. 2018-13”). ASU No. 2018-13 is part of the disclosure framework project and eliminates certain disclosure requirements for fair value measurements, requires entities to simplify the accounting for share-based payments to non-employees by aligning it with the accounting for share-based payments to employees, with certain exceptions.disclose new information, and modifies existing disclosure requirements. The new guidance expands the scope of ASC 718 to include share-based payments granted to non-employees in exchange for goods or services used or consumed in an entity’s own operations and supersedes the guidance in ASC 505-50. Under the guidance, the measurement of equity-classified non-employee awards will be fixed at the grant date. The guidance is effective for public companies in annual periodsfiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018,2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted.

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures.

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 


Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our chief executive officer (“CEO”)President and chief financial officer (“CFO”),our CFO, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e), as of June 30, 2018.2020. Based upon that evaluation, our CEOPresident and CFO concluded thatour disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2018.2020.

 

Management believes the consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K present fairly, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows as of and for the periods presented.

 

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rules 12a-15(f)13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f). Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our CEOPresident and CFO, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 20182020 based on criteria established in “Internal Control—Integrated Framework” (2013) by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO)(“COSO”). Based on this evaluation, our management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of June 30, 2018.2020.

 

This Annual Report on Form 10-K does not include an attestation report of our independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our independent registered public accounting firm in accordance with amendments to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act pursuant to Section 989G of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act that permit us to provide only management’s report in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

 

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting can provide only reasonable assurance that the objectives of the control system are met and may not prevent or detect misstatements. In addition, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

There were no changes toin our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 20182020 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

We conducted our auditaudits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the auditaudits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our auditaudits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

 

Our auditaudits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our auditaudits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audit providesaudits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

The financial statements of CCUR Holdings, Inc. as of and for the year ended June 30, 2017, were audited by other auditors whose report dated September 20, 2017, expressed an unmodified opinion on those financial statements.

The other auditors reported on the financial statements before the retrospective adjustments./s/ Marcum LLP

 

As part of our audit of the 2018 financial statements, we also audited the adjustments to the 2017 financial statements to retroactively reclassify discontinued operations as described in Note 4.

1.            Overview of the Business and Basis of Presentation

 

References herein to “CCUR Holdings,” the “Company,” “we,” “our,“us,” or “us”“our” refer to CCUR Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis, unless the context specifically indicates otherwise. CCUR Holdings was formerly known as Concurrent Computer Corporation and changed its name on January 2, 2018.

 

On December 31, 2017, we completed the sale of our content deliveryWe are a holding company owning and storage business (the “Content Delivery business”) and other related assetsseeking to Vecima Networks, Inc. (“Vecima”) pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement, dated as of October 13, 2017, between the Company and Vecima (the “CDN APA”). Substantially all assets and liabilities associated with the Content Delivery business were assigned to Vecima as part of the transaction. The Content Delivery business provided advanced applications focused on storing, protecting, transforming, and delivering high value media assets. The Content Delivery business consisted of (1) software, hardware and services for intelligently streaming video content toown subsidiaries engaged in a variety of consumer devicesbusiness operations. Following the disposition of our legacy operating businesses in calendar year 2017, we began identifying business alternatives to redeploy the proceeds of such divestitures. As of June 30, 2020, we had two existing operating segments: (i) merchant cash advance (“MCA”) operations, conducted primarily through our subsidiary LM Capital Solutions, LLC (d/b/a “LuxeMark Capital”) (“LMCS”), and storing(ii) real estate operations, conducted through our subsidiary Recur Holdings LLC (“Recur”) and managing contentits subsidiaries.

As of June 30, 2020, we hold an 80% interest in LMCS, with the remaining 20% held by AZOKKB, LLC (formerly named LuxeMark Capital, LLC and herein referenced as “Old LuxeMark”). Through LMCS, we manage a network of MCA originators and syndicate participants who provide those originators with capital by purchasing participation interests in or co-funding MCA transactions. In addition, we provide loans to MCA originators, the proceeds of which are used by the MCA originators to fund MCAs. LMCS’ daily operations are led by the three principals of Old LuxeMark. CCUR provides operational, accounting, and legal support to LMCS. On July 17, 2020, we entered into a series of agreements with Old LuxeMark pursuant to which our interest in LMCS was reduced from 80% to 51%. After the repayment of the outstanding balance of a master promissory note issued by LMCS to the Company, Old LuxeMark has the right to purchase the remaining 51% equity interest in LMCS for nominal consideration. We are reviewing our strategic options with respect to continued participation in the network and (2) Aquari™ Storage, a unified scale-out storage solutions product that is ideally suited for a wide range of enterprise IT and video applications that require advanced performance, very large storage capacities, and a high degree of reliability.MCA industry.

2.Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Principles of Consolidationdevelopment. Recur does not provide consumer mortgages.

 

The consolidatedglobal outbreak of the novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization and a national emergency by the U.S. government in March 2020 and has negatively impacted the U.S. and global economy, disrupted global supply chains, resulted in significant travel and transport restrictions, including mandated closures and orders to “shelter-in-place,” and created significant disruption of the financial statements includemarkets. The extent of the accountsimpact of CCURthe COVID-19 pandemic on our operational and financial performance will depend on future developments, including the duration and spread of the pandemic and related actions taken by the U.S. government, state and local government officials, and international governments to prevent disease spread, all wholly-owned domesticof which are uncertain and foreign subsidiaries.cannot be predicted.

During the third quarter of our fiscal year 2020, the Company declared and paid a one-time dividend of $0.50 per share. We have no unconsolidated entities and no special purpose entities. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.paid $4,411,000 of cash dividends during the fiscal year.

 

Smaller Reporting Company

 

We meet the Securities and Exchange Commission’s (“SEC’s”(the “SEC’s”) definition of a “Smaller Reporting Company,” and therefore qualify for the SEC’s reduced disclosure requirements for smaller reporting companies.

Principles of Consolidation and Reclassifications

The consolidated financial statements include the Company and its subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain prior period amounts were reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications did not affect total revenues, costs and expenses, net income, assets, liabilities, stockholders’ deficit, or net operating, investing, or financing cash flows.

 

Use of Estimates

 

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

Discontinued Operations

We record discontinued operations when the disposal of a separately identified business unit constitutes a ‘strategic shift’ in our operations, as defined inAccounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 205-20,Discontinued Operations (“ASC Topic 205-20”).

(Amounts

Business Combinations

The Company accounts for acquisitions of entities that include inputs and processes and have the ability to create outputs as business combinations. The Company allocates the purchase price of the acquisition to the tangible assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and identifiable intangible assets acquired based on their estimated fair values. The excess of the purchase price over those fair values is recorded as goodwill. Acquisition-related expenses and restructuring costs are expensed as incurred. During the measurement period, the Company records adjustments to provisional amounts recorded for assets acquired and liabilities assumed with the corresponding offset to goodwill. After the measurement period, which could be up to one year after the transaction date, subsequent adjustments are recorded to the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. The Company recognizes the fair value of contingent consideration as of the acquisition date as part of the consideration transferred in thousands, exceptexchange for sharean acquired business. The fair value of the contingent consideration is recorded as a liability and per share data)remeasured each accounting period, with any resulting change being recorded as an operating income or loss item within the statement of operations.

 

Foreign Currency

 

The functional currency of all of our foreign subsidiaries is the applicable local currency. The translation of the applicable foreign currencies into U.S. dollars is performed for balance sheet accounts using current exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date and for revenue and expense accounts using average rates of exchange prevailing during the fiscal year. Adjustments resulting from the translation of foreign currency financial statements are accumulated in a separate component of stockholders’ equity. Gains or losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in the consolidated statements of operations, except for those relating to intercompany transactions of a long-term investment nature, which are accumulated in a separate component of stockholders’ equity. Subsequent to the sale of our Content Delivery business in December 2017, we began the dissolution of certain of our foreign, wholly owned subsidiaries. As part of this process, we settled intercompany loan balances with certain of our foreign, wholly owned subsidiaries, which resulted in significant realized foreign exchange losses during our fiscal year ended June 30, 2018.

A net loss on foreign currency transactions of $1,921 for the year ended June 30, 2018 is included in the consolidated statements of operations.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

Cash balances and short-term investments with original maturities of 90 days or less at the date of purchase are considered cash equivalents. Cash equivalents are stated at fair value, and represent cash and cash invested in money market funds and commercial paper.

 

Concentration of Credit Risk

 

Financial instruments that subject the Company to a concentration of credit risk include cash and cash equivalents on deposit that exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insurance limit. Concentration of credit risk consists of cash and cash equivalents maintained in financial institutions that are, in part, in excess of the FDIC limits. As of June 30, 2018,At times, the Company held $32,492 ofmay hold cash and cash equivalentsbalances in excess of the FDIC insurance limits.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets

Goodwill represents the excess of purchase price over the fair value of the net assets of businesses acquired. We review goodwill at least annually for impairment. In our evaluation of goodwill impairment, we perform a qualitative assessment that requires management judgment and the use of estimates to determine if it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than the reporting unit’s carrying amount. An entity has an unconditional option to bypass the qualitative assessment for any reporting unit and proceed directly to performing the quantitative goodwill impairment test. An entity may resume performing the qualitative assessment in any subsequent period. We perform our annual impairment tests as of December 31 of each year, unless circumstances indicate the need to accelerate the timing of the tests. We completed our annual impairment test of goodwill as of December 31, 2019 and concluded that there was no impairment.

Intangible assets include trade name, non-competition agreements, and syndicate participant/originator relationships, are subject to amortization over their respective useful lives, and are classified in definite-lived intangibles, net, in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. These intangibles are evaluated for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the assets may not be fully recoverable. If facts and circumstances indicate that the carrying value might not be recoverable, projected undiscounted net cash flows associated with the related assets or groups of assets over their estimated remaining useful lives is compared against their respective carrying amounts. If an asset is found to be impaired, the impairment charge will be measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its fair value.


CCUR HOLDINGS, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Subsequent to completion of our annual goodwill impairment analysis, the COVID-19 virus developed into a pandemic that significantly impacted the global economy. Our MCA segment experienced a decline in revenues during the last quarter of our fiscal year ended June 30, 2020, which management believes is predominantly due to the economic uncertainties caused by the pandemic, and we anticipate our MCA revenues will continue to be adversely affected while major parts of the U.S. economy are restricted by mandatory business shut-downs and/or stay-at-home orders, as well as other effects of the pandemic. We decreased our volume of new funding arrangements while evaluating the effect of the current economic uncertainties on the MCA business and its customers during the third quarter of our fiscal year 2020. During the fourth quarter of our fiscal year 2020, management concluded that it would not resume funding MCAs with MCA originators and would focus our MCA segment exclusively on MCA syndication fee income generated by our LMCS business unit and funding aviation purchase deposits for fees. Our reduced participation in MCA funding through originators reduces our syndication fee income and revenue from direct funding of MCAs. We anticipate continued lower funding of new MCAs and reduced collection volume on outstanding MCAs until the economic situation caused by the pandemic stabilizes and a greater level of economic activity returns.

The economic impact of the ongoing pandemic on the LMCS business and our decision to not provide additional resources to LMCS to fund MCAs through MCA originators in the future triggered the requirement for a quantitative impairment test of the goodwill and long-lived assets attributable to our LMCS business unit during the fourth quarter of our fiscal year ended June 30, 2020. As a result of the impairment tests, we concluded that the goodwill, definite-lived intangible assets, and right-of-use lease assets attributable to our LMCS business unit were impaired as of June 30, 2020. See Note 6 for further discussion.

 

Investments in Debt and Equity Securities

 

The Company determinesWe determine the appropriate classification of its investments in debt and equity securities at the time of purchase and reevaluatesreevaluate such determinations at each balance sheet date. Debt securities are classified as held-to-maturity when the Company has the positive intent and ability to hold the securities to maturity. Held-to-maturity securities are recorded as either short termshort-term or long termlong-term in the consolidated balance sheet based on contractual maturity date and are stated at amortized cost. Marketable securities that are bought and held principally for the purpose of selling them in the near term are classified as trading securities and are reported at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses recognized in earnings. Debt and marketable equity securities not classified as held-to-maturity or as trading are classified as available-for-sale, and are carried at fair market value, with the unrealized gains and losses, net of tax, included in the determination of comprehensive income and reported in stockholders’ equity.

 

Premiums and discounts on fixed maturity securities are amortized using the effective interest method. Prepayment assumptions are reviewed periodically and adjusted to reflect actual prepayments and changes in expectations. Dividends on equity securities are recognized when declared. When the Company sells a security, the difference between the sale proceeds and amortized cost (determined based on specific identification) is reported as a realized investment gain or loss. When a decline in the value of a specific investment is considered to be other-than-temporaryother than temporary at the balance sheet date, a provision for impairment is charged to earnings (included in realized gains (losses) on investments) and the cost basis of that investment is reduced. If the Company can assert that it does not intend to sell an impaired fixed maturity security and it is not more likely than not that it will have to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis, then the other-than-temporary impairment is separated into two components: (i) the amount related to credit losses (recorded in earnings), and (ii) the amount related to all other factors (recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income, or “AOCI”). The credit-related portion of an “other-than-temporary”any other-than-temporary impairment is measured by comparing a security’s amortized cost to the present value of its current expected cash flows discounted at its effective yield prior to the impairment charge. If the Company intends to sell an impaired security, or if it is more likely than not that itthe Company will be required to sell the security before recovery, an impairment charge to earnings is recorded to reduce the amortized cost of that security to fair value.

In some cases, our debt investments may provide for a portion of the interest payable to be payment-in-kind (“PIK”) interest. To the extent interest is PIK, it is payable through the increase of the principal amount of the loan by the amount of the interest due on the then-outstanding principal amount of the loan.

Classification ofCommercial and Mortgage Loans and Loan Losses

 

Loans held-for-investmentWe have potential exposure to transaction losses as a result of uncollectibility of commercial mortgage and other loans. We base our reserve estimates on prior charge-off history and currently available information that is indicative of a transaction loss. We reflect additions to the reserve in current operating results, while we make charges to the reserve when we incur losses. We reflect recoveries in the reserve for transaction losses as collected.

We have the intent and ability to hold these loans to maturity or payoff, and as such, have classified these loans as held-for-investment. These loans are statedreported on the balance sheet at the outstanding principal balance adjusted for any charge-offs, allowance for loan losses, and deferred fees or costs. As of June 30, 2020, we have not recorded any charge-offs, and believe that an allowance for loan losses is not required.

Advances Receivable

In December 2018, we began purchasing participation interests in MCAs from third parties whose principal activity is originating MCAs to small businesses. MCAs are contracts formed through future receivables purchase and sale agreements, which stipulate the purchase price, or the amount outstanding,advanced, and the specified amount, or the advance amount plus the factored receivable balance that will be repaid, on the face of the contract. Generally, a specified amount will be withdrawn from the merchant’s bank account via daily or weekly automatic transactions in order to pay down the merchant’s advance. These are not consumer loan contracts, nor are they installment loan contracts to businesses for business use only. In addition, there is no monthly minimum payment, nor is there a specific repayment schedule.

Allowance for MCA credit losses

We establish an allowance for credit losses for MCAs at the time of funding through a provision for losses charged to our consolidated statement of operations. The provision amount is based on an analysis of our charge-off history and historical performance experienced by an industry peer group. Losses are charged against the allowance when management believes that the future collection in full of purchased receivables is unlikely. We review our MCA receivables on a regular basis and charge off any MCA receivables for which the merchant has not made a payment in 90 days or more. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the provision for credit losses on advances. The establishment of appropriate reserves is an inherently uncertain process, and ultimate losses may vary from the current estimates. We regularly update our reserve estimates as new facts become known and events occur that may affect the settlement or recovery of losses. In addition, new facts and circumstances may adversely affect our MCA portfolio resulting in increased delinquencies and losses and could require additional provisions for credit losses, which could impact future periods.

Revenue Recognition for MCA Syndication Fee Income

We recognize revenue when our performance obligations with our customers have been satisfied. Our performance obligation is to facilitate funding for MCA originators through the LuxeMark Capital syndication network. The performance obligation is satisfied at a point in time when the syndicate participants provide MCA originators with capital by purchasing participation interests in funded MCAs.

We determine the transaction price based on the fixed consideration in our contractual agreements, which do not contain any variable consideration. As we have identified only one distinct performance obligation, the transaction price is allocated entirely to this service. In determining the transaction price, a significant financing component does not exist, since the timing from when we perform this service to when the syndicate participants fund the MCA is less than one year, and we are not paid in advance for the performance of our services.

We recognized $1,288,000 and $693,000 of syndication fee income during the fiscal years ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, which is included in MCA fees and other revenue on the accompanying consolidated statement of operations.


CCUR HOLDINGS, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Revenue Recognition – Advance Income

We earn MCA income based on the amount advanced multiplied by the factor rate, net of any commissions or fees related to the participation. The factor rate is stipulated in the funding agreement, which is an agreement between the funder and the merchant. As repayments on the advances are received from the merchants, we apply a portion of the cash payment against the advanced amount, and the remaining portion of the cash payment is recognized as MCA income. We will cease recognizing MCA income when, in our opinion, the advanced amount is not probable of being collected.

Revenue Recognition – Interest Income

Interest income is earned on commercial mortgages and other loans based on the contractual terms of the loan. We evaluate loans for non-accrual status each reporting period. A loan is placed on a non-accrual status at the earlier of the date when the loan payment deficiencies exceed 90 days or when, in our opinion, the collection of interest in full becomes doubtful. Interest income recognition for non-accrual loans is generally resumed when the non-accrual loan is making current contractual interest payments.

Loan origination fees are deferred fees and impairment, if any,amortized to interest income, using the effective interest method, over the contractual life of the loan, in accordance with GAAP.Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 310, Receivables.

Defined BenefitDefined-Benefit Pension Plan

We maintain defined benefitdefined-benefit pension plans (the “Pension Plans”) for a number of former employees (“participants”) of our German subsidiary. In 1998, the Pension Plans were closed to new employees, and no existing employees are eligible to participate, thereforeas all eligible participants are no longer employed by us. The Pension Plans provide benefits to be paid to all participants at retirement based primarily on years of service with the Company. Our policy is to fund benefits attributed to participants’ servicesservice to date. The determination of our Pension Plans’ benefit obligations and expenses areis dependent on our selection of certain assumptions used by actuaries in calculating such amounts. Those assumptions include, among others, the weighted averageweighted-average discount rate and the weighted averageweighted-average expected rate of return on plan assets. To the extent that these assumptions change, our future benefit obligation and net periodic pension expense may be positively or negatively impacted.

 

Basic and Diluted Earnings (Loss) per Share

 

Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted averageweighted-average number of common shares outstanding during each year.fiscal period. Diluted income (loss)earnings per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted averageweighted-average number of common shares outstanding during each fiscal period including dilutive common share equivalents. Under the treasury stock method, incremental shares representing the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the dilutive potential common shares had been issued are included in the computation. Due to the loss from continuing operations for both periods presented, weighted averageWeighted-average common share equivalents of 167,2188,123 and 270,87410,004 for the fiscal years ended June 30, 20182020 and 2017,2019, respectively, were excluded from the calculation, as their effect waswould have been anti-dilutive.

 

ValuationThe following table presents a reconciliation of Long-Lived Assetsthe numerators and denominators of basic and diluted net income per share for the periods indicated:

 

We evaluate the recoverability of long-lived assets, other than indefinite lived intangible assets, for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Conditions that would necessitate an impairment assessment include a significant decline in the observable market value of an asset, a significant change in the extent or manner in which an asset is used or a significant adverse change that would indicate that the carrying amount of an asset or group of assets is not recoverable. For long-lived assets to be held and used, we recognize an impairment loss only if its carrying amount is not recoverable through its undiscounted cash flows and measure the impairment loss based on the difference between the carrying amount and fair value based on discounted cash flows. As a result of these evaluations, we have not recorded any impairment losses related to long-lived assets, for the years ended June 30, 2018 and 2017.

Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly fashion between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities required or permitted to be either recorded or disclosed at fair value, we consider the most advantageous market in which ittransactions would transactoccur and we consider assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability.

 

ASC No.Topic 820,Fair Value Measurements and Disclosuresrequires certain disclosures aroundregarding fair value and establishes a fair value hierarchy for valuation inputs. The hierarchy prioritizes the inputs into three levels based on the extent to which inputs used in measuring fair value are observable in the market. Each fair value measurement is reported in one of the three levels, which are determined by the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. TheseThe levels are:

 

·Level 1Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
 
·Level 2Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are either directly or indirectly observable; and
 
·Level 3Assets or liabilities for which fair value is based on valuation models with significant unobservable pricing inputs and which include the use of management estimates.

 

Our investment portfolio consists of money market funds, domestic and international commercial paper, equity securities, mortgage loans, and corporate debt. All highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased are considered to be cash equivalents. All cash equivalents are carried at cost less any unamortized premium or discount, which approximates fair value. All investments with original maturities of more than three months are classified as available-for-sale, trading, or held-to-maturity investments. Our marketable securities, other than warrants,equity securities, are classified as available-for-sale, and are reported at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses, net of tax, reported in stockholders’ equity as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income or loss. Interest on securities is recorded in interest income. Any realized gains or losses would be shownreported in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Warrants to purchase stock are held as tradingoperations in interest income. Dividends paid by securities and are reported atin the accompanying consolidated statements of operations in other income. Realized gains or losses are reported in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations in net realized gain on investments.

We used Level 3 inputs to determine the fair value with gainsof our preferred stock investments. The Company has elected the measurement alternative and losses reported withinwill record the investments at cost adjusted for observable price changes for an identical or similar investment of the same issuer. Observable price changes and impairment indicators will be assessed each reporting period.

We also used Level 3 inputs to determine the fair value of our statementscontingent consideration and common stock purchase warrants related to our acquisition of operations. the assets of Old LuxeMark (the “LuxeMark Acquisition”). The Company used a Monte Carlo simulation technique to value the performance-based contingent consideration and common stock purchase warrants. This technique is a probabilistic model which relies on repeated random sampling to obtain numerical results. We reduced the fair value of contingent consideration related to the LuxeMark Acquisition to zero as of June 30, 2020 as we reduced our funding of MCAs and the contingent consideration agreements and warrants were terminated on July 17, 2020.

Recently Issued and Adopted Accounting Guidance

 

In July 2015,January 2016, theFinancial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”(the “FASB”)issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2015-11,Inventory (Topic 330): Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory2016-01 (“ASU 2015-11”2016-01”). This amendment requires that an entity measure its inventory at the “lower of cost and net realizable value.” Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal and transportation. Current literature requires measurement of inventory at “lower of cost or market.” Market could be replacement cost, net realizable value, or net realizable value less an approximate normal profit margin. ASU 2015-11 was effective for us on July 1, 2017,and we adopted the guidance prospectively. The adoption of ASU 2015-11 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements or disclosures.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09,Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting (“ASU 2016-09”). ASU 2016-09 provides for simplification of certain aspects of employee share-based payment accounting including income taxes, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-09 was effective for us on July 1, 2017,and we adopted the guidance prospectively. The adoption of ASU 2016-09 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements or disclosures.

In March 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-05, “Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118”(“ASU 2018-05”)The amendments in ASU 2018-05 provide guidance on when to record and disclose provisional amounts for certain income tax effects of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“the “TCJA” or “Act”). The amendments also require any provisional amounts or subsequent adjustments to be included in net income. Additionally, ASU 2018-05 discusses required disclosures that an entity must make with regard to the TCJA. ASU 2018-05 is effective immediately as new information is available to adjust provisional amounts that were previously recorded. We have adopted ASU 2018-05 and will continue to evaluate indicators that may give rise to a change in our tax provision as a result of the TCJA.

Recent Accounting Guidance Not Yet Adopted

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-01,,Financial Instruments-Overall: Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, as amended by ASU No. 2018-03,Financial Instruments-Overall: Technical Corrections and Improvements, issued in February 2018, on the recognition and measurement of financial instruments. The new guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted for the instrument-specific credit risk provision. The new guidance changes the current accounting guidance related to (i) the classification and measurement of certain equity investments, (ii) the presentation of changes in the fair value of financial liabilities measured under the fair value option that are due to instrument-specific credit risk, and (iii) certain disclosures associated with the fair value of financial instruments. Additionally, there willis no longer be a requirement to assess equity securities for impairment since such securities will beare now measured at fair value through net income.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13Financial Instruments - Credit Losses - Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (Topic 326), or ASU 2016-13. ASU 2016-13 significantly changes how entities will measure credit losses for most financial assets and certain other instruments that are not measured at fair value through net income.  Thecurrent accounting guidance will replace the “incurred loss” approach under existing guidance with an “expected loss” model for instruments measured at amortized cost and require entities to record allowances for available-for-sale debt securities rather than reduce the carrying amount, as they do today under the other-than-temporary impairment model. It also simplifies the accounting model for purchased credit-impaired debt securities and loans. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 and is to be adopted through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is effective. While the Company is currently evaluating the impact ASU 2016-13 will have on our consolidated financial statements beginning July 1, 2019, we expect that the adoption may result in higher provisions for potential loan losses.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15,Clarification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments (“ASU 2016-15”), which eliminates the diversity in practice related to the classificationrecognition of certain cash receipts and payments in the statement of cash flows, by adding or clarifying guidance on eight specific cash flow issues. ASU 2016-15 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The amendments in this update should be applied retrospectively to all periods presented, unless deemed impracticable, in which case, prospective application is permitted.We do not expect ASU 2016-15 to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements or disclosures.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-01 -Business Combinations (Topic 805) (“ASU 2017-01”), which clarifies the definition of a business. For accounting and financial reporting purposes, businesses are generally comprised of three elements; inputs, processes, and outputs. Integrated sets oflease assets and activities capable of providing these three elements may not always be considered a business, and the lack of one of the three elements does not always disqualify the set from being a business. The issuance of ASU 2017-01 provides a clarifying screen to determine when a set of assets and activities is not a business. Primarily, the screen requires that when substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or group of similar identifiable assets, the set is not a business. The amendments contained in ASU 2017-01 are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and may belease liabilities. We early adopted for certain transactions that have occurred before the new guidance effective date, but only when the underlying transaction has not been reportedJune 30, 2019, as further disclosed in theNote 16 to these financial statements that have been issued or made available for issuance. We do not expect ASU 2017-01 to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements or disclosures unless we enter into a business combination.

In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-09,Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting (“ASU 2017-09”), to provide clarity and reduce both diversity in practice and cost complexity when applying the guidance in Topic 718 to a change to the terms and conditions of a share-based payment award. ASU 2017-09 also provides guidance about the types of changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award that require an entity to apply modification accounting in accordance with Topic 718. ASU 2017-09 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and for interim periods therein. Early adoption is permitted. We do not expect the adoption of ASU 2017-09 to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements or disclosures.statements.

 

In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-02,Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Topic 220)(“ASU 2018-02”), which permits entities to reclassify the tax effects stranded in accumulated other comprehensive income as a result of recent U.S.United States federal tax reforms to retained earnings. The guidance also requires entities to disclose their accounting policies with regards to the treatment of stranded tax effects not related to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. It allows entities to elect either a “security-by-security” approach or a “portfolio approach” to recognize the stranded tax effects from a valuation allowance release. Under the security-by-security approach, an entity will recognize the stranded tax effects associated with individual securities as it disposes of each security. Under the portfolio approach, an entity will recognize the stranded tax effects associated with a portfolio of securities when it has disposed of all securities within that portfolio. Entities can elect to apply the guidance retrospectively or in the period of adoption. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 and interim periods therein, with early adoption permitted. We do not expect thatadopted the adoption of thisnew guidance will have aeffective July 1, 2019 with no material impact on our consolidated financial statements or disclosures.

Content Delivery business

On December 31, 2017, we completed the sale of our Content Delivery business and other related assets to Vecima pursuant to the CDN APA for a purchase price of $29,000 (subject to an adjustment for net working capital). The sale included our Content Delivery business assets and related liabilities in the United States, United Kingdom, and Germany, as well as the sale of all equity in our Japanese subsidiary.

Gross proceeds of $29,812 from the sale were paid to us as follows: (1) $28,362 net cash payment during our fiscal year ended June 30, 2018 (including an $812 adjustment for surplus net working capital transferred to Vecima as defined in the CDN APA) and (2) $1,450 placed in escrow as security for the Company’s indemnification obligations to Vecima under the CDN APA, which amount will be released to the Company on or before December 31, 2018 (less any portion used to make indemnification payments to Vecima).

 

In conjunction withDecember 2019, the CDN APA, we and Vecima entered into a Transition Services Agreements (the “CDN TSA”)FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (“ASU 2019-12”).

Net amounts charged from Vecima under the TSA for both the year ended June 30, 2018 were $71 and are recorded within operating expenses.

Results associated with the Content Delivery business are classified within income from discontinued operations, net of income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and clarifying and amending existing guidance. This guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact that ASU 2019-12 will have on our consolidated financial statements of operations. Operating expenses recorded in discontinued operations include costs incurred directly in support of the Content Delivery business.

The closing of the sale of the Content Delivery business to Vecima resulted in a “change in control” under our Amended and Restated 2011 Stock Incentive Plan. As a result, the Company recognized expense of approximately $1,745 in share-based compensation expense due to the acceleration of the vesting and the lapse of restrictions on substantially all restricted stock granted under our Amended and Restated 2011 Stock Incentive Plan (see Note 9 – Share-based Compensation).

Real-Time business

On May 15, 2017, we completed the sale and transfer of certain assets and certain liabilities primarily related to our Real-Time business segment pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “RT APA”) dated as of May 15, 2017 with Real Time, Inc. (the “Purchaser”), an investment company owned by Battery Ventures, a private-equity firm based in Boston, Massachusetts, for $35,000 less agreed upon adjustments for working capital. Pursuant to the terms of the RT APA, we sold and transferred certain respective equity interests in one of our subsidiaries, which constituted the European operations of the Real-Time business, upon receipt of French regulatory approval on May 30, 2017. The RT APA includes customary terms and conditions, including provisions that require us to indemnify the Purchaser for certain losses that it incurs as a result of a breach by us of our representations and warranties in the RT APA and certain other matters.

Gross proceeds from the sale were paid to us as follows: (1) a $30,200 cash payment on May 15, 2017 (subject to an adjustment for estimated working capital as defined in the RT APA), (2) a $2,800 cash payment made concurrently with the transfer of the European operations of the Real-Time business to the Purchaser received on May 30, 2017 and (3) $2,000 placed in escrow as security for certain purchase price adjustments and for our indemnification obligations to the Purchaser under the RT APA. In May 2018, the full $2,000 placed in escrow was released to us. In September 2017, the final working capital computation was completed and resulted in no additional consideration paid to or from either party.

The RT APA contains customary representations and warranties of each of the parties. The RT APA contains indemnification rights in our favor following closing for (i) breaches of any of the representations or warranties by the Purchaser including, but not limited to, breaches related to organization, authorization, and governmental authorization, (ii) breaches of the covenants or agreements of the Purchaser in the RT APA, and (iii) liabilities which the Purchaser agrees to assume in the RT APA.

In conjunction with the RT APA, we and the Purchaser entered into Transition Services Agreements (the “TSAs”) for the U.S/Europe and Japan effective May 15, 2017.

During the fiscal years ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, we provided $17,474,000 and $4,750,000 of cash advances, respectively, to fund aircraft purchasers’ deposits to purchase aircraft in exchange for paying us a fee and a guaranty of the full repayment obligation from the principal of the third-party business. These deposits are typically outstanding for less than six months. The prepaid fees are netted against the principal balance, earned over the advance period, and are reported as part of MCA income within the statement of operations. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020, we collected $11,250,000 of these advances. Each quarter, we review the carrying value of this cash advance, and determine if an impairment reserve is necessary.

6.            Goodwill and Intangible Assets

As further described in Note 1 to these financial statements, the economic impact of the ongoing pandemic on the LMCS business and our decision to not provide additional resources to LMCS to fund MCAs through MCA originators in the future triggered the requirement for a quantitative impairment test of the goodwill and long-lived assets attributable to our LMCS business unit during the fourth quarter of our fiscal year ended June 30, 2020. As such, we conducted these impairment analyses and concluded that the goodwill, long-lived assets, and right-of-use lease assets attributable to our LMCS business unit were impaired as of June 30, 2020. Our right-of-use lease asset is discussed further in Note 16. Definite-lived intangible assets and goodwill as of June 30, 2020 and 2019 consisted of the following (amounts in thousands):

A non-cash impairment charge was recorded as reflected in the table above as of June 30, 2020. Offsetting this non-cash impairment charge, we also reduced the estimated fair value of contingent consideration payable to Old LuxeMark in the form of cash and warrants by $3,090,000 to zero during our fiscal year ended June 30, 2018. We have2020. If the intentpandemic’s economic impact becomes more severe, or if the economic recovery takes longer to materialize or does not materialize as strongly as anticipated, we may realize further charges for impairments of long-lived assets and ability to hold these mortgage loans to maturity or payoff and, as such, have classified these loans as held-for-investment. These loans are reported on the balance sheet at the outstanding principal balance adjusted for any charge-offs, allowance for loan losses, and any deferred fees or costs. We also have a $1.4 million deposit held by an escrow agent as ofgoodwill.

In fiscal year 2019, we entered into an 18-month, $1,600,000 term loan with a commercial bank to finance part of a land purchase for the purpose of entitling and reselling the land. The term loan had a 5.25% interest rate with interest-only payments due monthly and was fully repaid during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020. As of June 30, 2020, we have capitalized $57,000 of interest from this loan as part of the land cost.

As of June 30, 2018,2020, we had U.S. federal net operating loss carryforwardslosses (“NOLs”) of approximately $56,113$51,438,000 for income tax purposes, of which none expire in fiscal year 2018,2020, and the remainder expire at various dates through fiscal year 2037. We recently completed an evaluation of the potential effect of Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code (the “IRC”) on our ability to utilize these net operating losses.NOLs. The study concluded that we have not had an ownership change for the period from July 22, 1993 to June 30, 2018, therefore, the NOLs will not be subject to limitation under Section 382.2020. If we experience an ownership change as defined in Section 382 of the IRS,IRC, our ability to use these NOLs will be substantially limited, which could therefore significantly impair the value of that asset. See section below entitled “Tax Asset Preservation Plan” for details regarding steps we have taken to protect the value of our NOLs.

 

As of June 30, 2018,2020, we had state NOLs of $33,240$22,856,000 and foreign NOLs of $19,416.$8,258,000. The state NOLs expire according to the rules of each state and expiration will occur between fiscal year 20182020 and fiscal year 2037. The foreign NOLs expire according to the rules of each country.2035. As of June 30, 2018,2020, the foreign operating lossesNOLs can be carried forward indefinitely, in each country, although some countries do restrict the amount of lossNOL that can be used in a given tax year.

We have evaluated our ability to generate future taxable income in all jurisdictions that would allow the Companyus to realize the benefit associated with these NOLs. Based on our best estimate of future taxable income, we do not expect to fully realize the benefit of these NOLs. We expect a significant amount of the U.S. NOLs to expire without utilization, resulting in a valuation allowance in the U.S.United States on this portion of the net operating losses.NOLs. We do not expect to realize the benefits of the Company’sour NOLs in other international jurisdictions due to cumulative accounting losses, our long history of taxable losses, and our uncertainty with respect to generating future taxable income in the near term given our recently completed projections and other inherent uncertainties in our business. We continue to maintain a full valuation allowance on lossesNOLs in these other international jurisdictions.

As such, no valuation allowance is neededThe Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”) allowed us to claim the remaining AMT credit as a refund during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020. Of the $950,000 AMT credit carryforward from June 30, 2019, $475,000 had been received as of June 30, 2020, and the remainder was reported in other current assets on this item.the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.

 

Of the $56,113 of aforementioned U.S. federal NOLs, and $751 of research and development credits, $11,189 represents acquired NOLs and $140 represents acquired R&D credits from a prior acquisition. The benefits associated with these acquired losses and tax credits will likely be limited under Sections 382 and 383 of the Internal Revenue Code as of the date of acquisition. We have fully offset the deferred tax assets related to the tax credits and NOLs with a valuation allowance.

The TCJA is comprehensive U.S. tax reform legislation enacted on December 22, 2017 that includes numerous changes to the U.S. tax code that could affect our business, such as the reduction in the U.S. federal corporate tax rate and the one-time Transition Tax on the deemed repatriation of foreign subsidiaries' earnings.

Deferred Tax Assets and Related Valuation Allowances

 

In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, we consider whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. In determining whether or not a valuation allowance for tax assets is needed, we evaluate all available evidence, both positive and negative, including:including trends in operating income or losses;losses, currently available information about future years;tax years, future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences;differences, future taxable income exclusive of reversing temporary differences and carryforwards;carryforwards, taxable income in prior carryback tax years if carryback is permitted under the tax law;law, and tax planning strategies that would accelerate taxable amounts to utilize expiring carryforwards, change the character of taxable and deductible amounts from ordinary income or loss to capital gain or loss, or switch from tax-exempt to taxable investments. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. As of June 30, 2018,2020, we have released the valuation allowance on our U. S. deferred tax assets, with the exception of certain federal and state NOLs and credits expected to expire before usage. We continue to maintain a full valuation allowance on our netGerman deferred tax assets in all jurisdictions, with the exception of the $975 AMT credit carryforward that is now considered refundable after the enactment of the TCJA. We do not have sufficient evidence of future income to conclude that it is more likely than not the Company will realize its entire deferred tax inventory in any of its jurisdictions (U.S., Germany, Spain, Hong Kong, United Kingdom, and Australia). Therefore, we have recognized a full valuation allowance on the Company’s deferred tax inventory. We reevaluate our conclusions quarterly regarding the valuation allowance and will make appropriate adjustments as necessary in the period in which significant changes occur.

During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2018,2020, we recognized approximately $6$10,000 of interest. We had approximately $27$43,000 and $22$33,000 of accrued interest at June 30, 20182020 and 2017,2019, respectively. We had no accrued penalties as of either June 30, 20182020 or 2017.2019. We recognize potential interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as a component of income tax expense. We believe that the amount of uncertainty in income taxes will not change by a significant amount within the next 12 months.

 

The Company and its subsidiaries file income taxestax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various state and foreign jurisdictions. With few exceptions, we are no longer subject to U.S. federal, state and local, or non-U.S. income tax examinations by tax authorities for fiscal years before 1999.

Research and Development Tax Credits

During the year ended June 30, 2017, we applied for both a U.S. federal and state of Georgia research and development tax credit in the amounts of $719 and $675, respectively, for our fiscal year ending June 30, 2016. For U.S. federal tax purposes, the credit cannot be utilized immediately but will carryforward for a period of 20 years. As we do not expect to be able to realize the benefit of the U.S. federal tax credit carryforward before its expiration, we maintain a full valuation allowance on this item. For the state of Georgia tax credit, we have recorded the credit within both other current assets and other long-term assets with an offset in both accrued expenses and other long-term liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. As future payroll tax withholdings of our Georgia-based employees become due, we are able to offset the withholding amount dollar-for-dollar against the credit. As a result, as the credit is claimed, we will (1) reduce other current assets and offset the payroll tax liability and (2) reduce accrued expenses and recognize a reduction of operating expenses.

During our fiscal years ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, we recognized $287 and $173, respectively, of the state of Georgia credit and reduced operating expenses accordingly. As of June 30, 2018, State tax credit assets of $577 and $24 are reflected within other current assets and other long-term assets, respectively, and unrecogized income from these credits of $130 and $12 are reflected in accrued expenses and other long-term liabilities, respectively. As of the filing date, we have received $173 of proceeds from utilization of our State tax credits.

Tax Asset Preservation Plan

 

At our 2016 Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on October 26, 2016, our stockholders adopted a formal amendment to our certificate of incorporation (the “Protective Amendment”) to deter any person acquiring 4.9% or more of the outstanding common stock without the approval of our Board in order to protect the value of our NOLs. The Protective Amendment was extended by our stockholders at both our 2017 and 2018 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, held on October 25, 2017 and will expire on the earliest of (i) the Board of Directors’ determination that the Protective Amendment is no longer necessary for the preservation of the Company’s NOLs because of the amendment or repeal of Section 382 or any successor statute, (ii) the close of business on the first day of any taxable year of CCUR Holdings to which the Board of Directors determines that none of our NOLs may be carried forward, (iii) such date as the Board of Directors otherwise determines that the Protective Amendment is no longer necessary for the preservation of the Company’s NOLs, and (iv) the date of our Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be held during calendar year 2018.2020.

 

As indicated in our Form 8-K filed on May 11, 2018, the Company executed and delivered the Third Amended Consent and Limited Waiver to the Standstill Agreement, filed therewith as Exhibit 10.1 (the “Amended Consent and Limited Waiver”), to JDS1, LLC and Julian Singer (together with their affiliates and associates, the “Investor Group”). The Amended Consent and Limited Waiver provides that so long as (i) the Investor Group collectively beneficially own no more than 4,176,180 of the outstanding shares of common stock of the Company, including the Investor Group’s beneficial ownership of Common Stock as a result of the exercise or assignment of any option contracts, and (ii) any acquisition of common stock of the Company by the Investor Group would not reasonably be expected to limit the Company’s ability to utilize the Company’s net operating loss carryforwards,NOLs, the Company shall not deem the Investor Group to have effected a Prohibited Transfer as that term is defined in the Company’s Restated Certificate of Incorporation.

CARES Act

 

9.Share-Based Compensation

On March 27, 2020, the CARES Act was signed into law. Key provisions of the CARES Act include one-time payments to individuals, strengthened unemployment insurance, additional health-care funding, loans and grants to certain businesses, and temporary amendments to the Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”). The corporate income tax provisions of the CARES Act include allowing the carryback of NOLs generated in recent tax years, temporary removal of the 80% NOL usage limitation put in place under the TCJA, temporary favorable adjustments to the business interest expense limitation calculated under IRC Section 163(j), and the acceleration of refundable AMT credits.

We believe that the corporate income tax provisions of the CARES Act will not have a materially beneficial impact on the Company. Due to our history of losses , there is no potential for the carryback of NOLs. The temporary removal of the 80% income limitation on NOL usage has no impact, as we have substantial NOLs generated in years prior to the enactment of the TCJA not subject to this 80% limitation. We also do not have any interest expense disallowed under IRC Section 163(j) that would be impacted by the CARES Act. The only provision of note is the election to treat remaining AMT credits available as fully refundable as of the 2018 tax year. As of June 30, 2020, we have made use of this election in order to claim all remaining refundable AMT credits.

In conjunction with the sale of our Content Delivery business on December 31, 2017 (see Note 4 – Discontinued Operations), substantially all of the previously non-vested restricted stock awards (including 50,000 performance-based restricted stock awards) were accelerated to vest as a result of a change of control as determined by our Board of Directors, resulting in stock-based compensation expense of $1,745 during the second quarter of our fiscal year 2018. In January 2018, we allowed for the net settlement of certain of these awards for the payment of payroll taxes due to certain non-Section 16 employees. Such net settlement resulted in the Company acquiring and retiring 41,566 shares of its common stock.

Additionally, one of our independent directors resigned from the Board of Directors, effective on December 31, 2017 (see Note 13 – Commitments and Contingencies – Resignation of Directors) and we accelerated the vesting of 7,500 shares of previously non-vested restricted stock held by that director.

Stock Options

 

We use a Black-Scholes option valuation model to determine the grant date fair value of stock-based compensation. The Black-Scholes model incorporates various assumptions including the expected term of awards, volatility of stock price, risk-free rates of return and dividend yield. The expected term of an award is no less than the option vesting period and is based on our expectations under our current operating environment. Expected volatility is based upon the historical volatility of the Company’s stock price. The risk-free interest rate is approximated using rates available on U.S. Treasury securities with a remaining term similar to the option’s expected life. We use a dividend yield of zero in the Black-Scholes option valuation model as we do not anticipate paying cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Stock-based compensation is recorded net of expected forfeitures.

The fair value of the option grant was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions:

Grant date fair value of options $2.43 
Expected option life (in years)  10.0 
Risk-free interest rate  2.3%
Expected volatility  31.1%
Dividend yield  0.0%

For fiscal year 2018, we made a single grant of 15,000 stock options.

On October 27, 2017, we announced the Board of Directors’ decision to suspend the Company’s quarterly dividend following the payment of the December 28, 2017 dividend to preserve the Company’s liquidity while the Investment Committee considers potential acquisition targets and alternative uses of the Company’s continuing assets, including the proceeds from the sale of our Content Delivery business. The Board of Directors will continue to regularly assess our allocation of capital and evaluate whether and when to reinstate the quarterly or other special dividend.

As a result of the sale of our Content Delivery business on December 31, 2017 (see Note 4 – Discontinued Operations) and the acceleration of vesting of substantially all of the previously non-vested restricted stock awards, substantially all of our accrued dividends became payable as of December 31, 2017 and were paid early in the third quarter of fiscal 2018. Current and non-current dividends payable consist of the following:

Non-current  2   225 
  $3  $285 

During fiscal year 2018, $8 of dividends payable were forfeited and returned to capital for restricted shares that were forfeited prior to meeting vesting requirements. Because the participants are not entitled to these dividends unless they complete the requisite service period for the shares to vest, they are not “participating dividends” as defined under ASC Topic 260-10,Earnings per Share.

Operating Leases14.            Acquisition

On February 13, 2019, the Company consummated the LuxeMark Acquisition. With the LuxeMark Acquisition, our LMCS subsidiary focuses on the MCA sector of the financial industry, which provides financing to small- and medium-sized businesses. LMCS operates through its syndication network to facilitate MCA funding by connecting a network of MCA originators with syndicate participants who provide those originators with capital by purchasing participation interests in funded MCAs. LMCS utilizes its expertise in the MCA industry to provide reporting and other administrative services to its syndication network.

The acquisition was accounted for as a business combination. Accordingly, the tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired, and liabilities assumed, were recorded at their estimated fair value as of the date of acquisition, with the residual purchase price recorded as goodwill. The goodwill recognized is attributable primarily to strategic opportunities related to establishing market presence in the MCA sector. The goodwill is deductible for income tax purposes, as the transaction was an asset acquisition for income tax purposes. Acquisition costs of $300,000 were expensed in the period incurred and are included in acquisition-related costs as selling, general, and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations.


CCUR HOLDINGS, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The acquisition-date fair value of the consideration transferred is as follows (amounts in thousands):

Cash consideration $1,212 
Equity consideration - 20% membership interest in LMCS  893 
Equity consideration - warrants to purchase CCUR common stock  200 
Fair value of contingent consideration  2,160 
Total purchase consideration $4,465 

The fair value of the 20% membership interest in LMCS issued to Old LuxeMark as part of the Purchase Agreement was determined based on the transaction price attributable to the rollover equity participants.

The fair value of common stock purchase warrants issued as part of the Purchase Agreement entitles the holders to purchase from the Company an aggregate amount of 444,361 common shares once vested. Vesting is dependent upon LMCS achieving certain performance levels. The warrants expire in ten years and are exercisable at $6.50 per share. The warrants were valued utilizing the Black-Scholes model. In addition, the Company used a Monte-Carlo simulation model to determine the number of performance-based warrants that are expected to vest. This technique is a probabilistic model which relies on repeated random sampling to obtain numerical results. The concluded value of $200,000 represents the mean of those results. Warrants are included within contingent consideration on the consolidated balance sheet due to the associated contingencies.

The Purchase Agreement requires the Company to pay to Old LuxeMark four earnout payments of up to $1,000,000 each if fully earned through the achievement of agreed-upon distributable net income (“DNI”) thresholds. The earnout payments are calculated based on DNI for each of the calendar years ending on December 31, 2019, 2020, 2021, and 2022. The Company utilized a Monte Carlo simulation technique to value performance-based contingent consideration, the same methodology used to determine the number of performance-based warrants that are expected to vest, the vesting of which is tied to the same performance-based DNI benchmarks as the contingent consideration. This analysis resulted in $2,360,000 of contingent consideration as of the acquisition date. During the fourth quarter of our fiscal year 2019, we recorded a $730,000 increase in the contingent consideration liability through our statement of operations, based on updated estimates of projected DNI. As of June 30, 2019, $750,000 of the contingent consideration accrual was reported as a current liability, with the remaining $2,340,000 reported as a non-current liability.

The following table summarizes the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition (amounts in thousands):

Accounts receivable $153 
Intangible assets  3,090 
Goodwill  1,260 
Total assets acquired  4,503 
Accrued commission  38 
Total liabilities assumed  38 
Net assets acquired $4,465 

The fair values of intangible assets, including the trade name, non-competition agreements, and investor/funder relationships, were determined using variations of the income approach. We employed the relief from royalty methodology to value the trade name, the with or without methodology to value the non-competition agreements, and the multi-period excess earnings method to value the investor/ funder relationships. Varying discount rates were also applied to the projected net cash flows and EBITDA as applicable to valuation methodology. We believe the assumptions are representative of those a market participant would use in estimating fair value. The acquisition-date fair value and weighted-average amortization periods of intangible assets was as follows ($ amounts in thousands):

We do not believe that we are engaged in the business of investing, reinvesting, or trading in securities, and we do not hold ourselves out as being engaged in the business of investing, reinvesting, or trading in securities. However, with the assistance of the Asset Manager, we hold excess liquid resources in marketable securities to preserve resources needed to acquire operating businesses or assets and fund our finance and real estate activities. The Board of Directors and management monitor the Company’s status relative to the inadvertent investment company test under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “ICA”) and believe that the Company is not, currently or as of June 30, 2018,2020, an inadvertent investment company based on the assets test under Section 3(a)(1)(C) of the ICA.

If we were deemed to be an inadvertent investment company and determined to or were required to become a registered investment company, we would be subject to burdensome and costly compliance requirements and restrictions that would limit our activities, including limitations on our capital structure, additional corporate governance requirements, and other limitations on our ability to transact business as currently conducted. We do not believe that it would be practical or feasible for a company of our size, management, and financial resources to operate as a registered investment company. To avoid being deemed an inadvertent investment company or becoming a registered investment company, we may decide or be required to sell certain of our investments on disadvantageous terms, hold a greater proportion of our investments in marketable securities in U.S. government securities or cash equivalents that have a lower rate of return than other investment securities, or make other material modifications to our business operations and strategy, any or all of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, and future prospects.

On December 31, 2017,June 4, 2020, the Company entered into an “Omnibus Amendment Regarding the Management Agreement and SARs Agreements” (the “Omnibus Amendment”) by and among the Company, the Asset Manager and the Prior Asset Manager amending certain terms of the original management agreement, dated as of February 14, 2019, by and between the Company and the Prior Asset Manager, including the form of SARs agreement (the “Form of SARs Agreement”), and the SARs agreements entered into pursuant to the Management Agreements between the Company and the Prior Manager (the “Prior SARs Agreements”). Pursuant to the Management Agreement, the Asset Manager, among other things, (i) provides the Company with advisory services with respect to the management and allocation of the assets of the Company and its then presidentsubsidiaries, and CEO, Derek Elder, entered into a Separation and Consulting Agreement and General Release(ii) exercises discretionary management authority over the Company’s trading portfolio of Claims (the “Separation Agreement”), whereby his role as president and CEOpublicly traded securities.

The Omnibus Amendment amended the terms of the Management Agreement to provide that:

(i)the Management Fee (as defined in the Management Agreement) due to the Asset Manager shall continue to be payable via a grant of SARs for services rendered through the quarter ending June 30, 2020. Thereafter, the Management Fee shall be payable in cash. The Performance Fee (as defined in the Management Agreement) shall continue to be payable in SARs;

(ii)the cash value of a SAR grant for the purpose of determining the amount by which it reduces the fees payable under the Management Agreement shall equal $3.50 per SAR; and;

(iii)the value of the assets on which the Management Fee and Performance Fee are based shall be adjusted to exclude any deferred tax assets of the Company.

The Omnibus Amendment also affects the assignment of the Prior SARs Agreements from the Prior Manager to the Asset Manager and amends the Prior SARs Agreements and the Form of SARs Agreement, pursuant to which SARs will be granted to the Asset Manager in the future, in each case, to provide that SARs granted thereunder are exercisable as of the date of grant, subject to any restrictions in the applicable agreement.

Prior to this Omnibus Amendment, the Company terminated and he ceasedgranted 797,446 SARs, to be settled in cash, to the Prior Manager, as compensation for the Management Fee and the calendar year 2019 Performance Fee, with a memberbase price of $0.01 per share, that were earnable upon completion of both service and performance conditions. The service condition was completed each quarter as the asset management services were provided, and annually upon calculation of the BoardPerformance Fee. The vesting performance condition required the Company to undergo a qualifying change of Directors and all committees thereof, effective on December 31, 2017. Mr. Elder’s separation fromcontrol before the SARs are exercisable by the Prior Asset Manager. As such, because a qualifying change of control had neither occurred nor become probable before the Omnibus Amendment, the Company did not involve any disagreement withrecord expense attributable to the Boardgranted SARs.

The Omnibus Amendment modified the granted SARs’ and future SAR grants’ vesting criteria by removing the performance condition of Directors,a qualifying change of control so that SARs are exercisable upon grant. With this modification, the Company or itsrecorded $2,552,000 of compensation expense during the fourth quarter of our fiscal year 2020 attributable to SARs for which vesting was previously subject to a qualifying change of control. Additionally, the Company recorded $289,000 of expense for the 90,310 cash settled SARs that it expects to grant to the Asset Manager during the first quarter of fiscal year 2021 as compensation for the Management Fee during the fourth quarter of our fiscal year 2020. These amounts are accrued as management fee payable on any matter relating to our operations, policies or practices. Underconsolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2020. SAR expense is calculated based upon the Separation Agreement, Mr. Elder received the following payments in January 2018, all less applicable tax withholdings and deductions: (i) a lump sum cash severance payment of $558; (ii) $194, which equals the pro-rated portionclosing price of the maximum award payableCompany’s stock on the last day of the reporting period.
