Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and intangible assets acquired in our acquisitions of Artilium, iPass and iPass.Devicescape. Significant estimates include the bad debt allowance, revenue recognition, impairment of long-lived assets, valuation of financial instruments, useful lives of long-lived assets and share-based compensation. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions and those differences could be material. 

 

Reclassification

 

Certain reclassifications have been made to the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the prior yearsperiod to conform to the current yearperiod presentation. Such reclassifications had no impact on net loss or net cash flows.

Leases

We determine if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating leases are included in operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and lease liabilities in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. As of adoption of ASC 842 and as of March 31, 2019, the Company was not party to finance lease arrangements.

ROU assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. As most of our leases do not provide an implicit rate, we use our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. We use the implicit rate when readily determinable. The operating lease ROU asset also includes any lease payments made and excludes lease incentives. Our lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Under the available practical expedient, we account for the lease and non-lease components as a single lease component.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07,Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting. ASU 2018-07 expands the scope of Topic 718 to include share-based payment transactions for acquiring goods and services from nonemployees. ASU 2018-07 became effective for the Company on January 1, 2019. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

8

In July 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-11, Earnings per Share (Topic 260), Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (Topic 480), Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815) (“ASU 2017-11”). ASU 2017-11 consists of two parts. The amendments in Part I of this update change the classification analysis of certain equity-linked financial instruments (or embedded features) with down round features. When determining whether certain financial instruments should be classified as liabilities or equity instruments, a down round feature no longer precludes equity classification when assessing whether the instrument is indexed to an entity’s own stock. The amendments also clarify existing disclosure requirements for equity-classified instruments. As a result, a freestanding equity-linked financial instrument (or embedded conversion option) no longer would be accounted for as a derivative liability at fair value as a result of the existence of a down round feature. For freestanding equity classified financial instruments, the amendments require entities that present earnings per share (“EPS”) in accordance with Topic 260 to recognize the effect of the down round feature when it is triggered. That effect is treated as a dividend and as a reduction of income available to common stockholders in basic EPS. Convertible instruments with embedded conversion options that have down round features are now subject to the specialized guidance for contingent beneficial conversion features (in Subtopic 470-20, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options), including related EPS guidance (in Topic 260). The amendments in Part II of this update re-characterize the indefinite deferral of certain provisions of Topic 480 that now are presented as pending content in the Codification, to a scope exception. Those amendments do not have an accounting effect. For public business entities, the amendments in Part I of this update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted for all entities, including adoption in an interim period. If an entity early adopts the amendments in an interim period, any adjustments should be reflected as of the beginning of the fiscal year that includes that interim period. The amendments in Part II of this update do not require any transition guidance because those amendments do not have an accounting effect. ASU 2017-11 became effective for the Company on January 1, 2019. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02,Leases (“ASU 2016-02”). This new standard establishes a right-of-use (ROU) model that requires a lessee to record a ROU asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. Leases will be classified as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the income statement. ASU 2016-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-11 which provides an alternative transition method that allows entities to apply the new leases standard at the adoption date and recognize a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption. The Company has adopted the requirements of ASU 2016-02 on January 1, 2019, using the modified retrospective method. The Company took advantage of the practical expedient options, which allows an entity not to reassess whether any existing or expired contracts contain leases. Upon adoption of this standard on January 1, 2019, the Company recorded right of use assets and corresponding lease liabilities of $1.2 million. As of March 31, 2019, there was an increase in assets and liabilities to $3.1 million due to the recognition of the required right-of-use asset and corresponding liabilities for all lease obligations that are currently classified as operating leases, including those we acquired in our purchase of iPass. The standard did not have a material impact on our consolidated income statements. We elected to apply the practical expedient related to land easements, as well as the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance in the new standard, which allowed us to carryforward our historical lease classification.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04,Intangibles, Goodwill and Other (Topic 350) “Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment.” ASU 2017-04 eliminates the two-step process that required identification of potential impairment and a separate measure of the actual impairment. Goodwill impairment charges, if any, would be determined by the difference between a reporting unit’s carrying value and its fair value (impairment loss is limited to the carrying value). This standard is effective for annual or any interim goodwill impairment tests beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on its consolidated financial statements.

 

Note 3. Business Combinations

 

On November 12, 2018, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) by and among the Company, Purchaser, and iPass. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Purchaser, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, commenced the offer for the “iPass Shares for the “Transaction Consideration, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Prospectus/Offer to Exchange dated December 4, 2018 (together with any amendments and supplements thereto, the “Offer to Exchange”), and the related Letter of Transmittal. The Offer and withdrawal rights expired at 5:00 p.m. New York City time on February 12, 2019, and promptly following such time Purchaser accepted for payment and promptly paid for all validly tendered iPass Shares in accordance with the terms of the Offer. The Company acquired 100% of the voting shares of iPass.

 

On February 12, 2019, following acceptance and payment for the validly tendered iPass Shares and pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, the Company completed its acquisition of iPass from the stockholders of iPass when Purchaser merged with and into iPass, with iPass surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Merger”). The Merger was governed by Section 251(h) of the Delaware General Corporation Law, as amended (the “DGCL”) with no stockholder vote required to consummate the Merger. At the effective time of the Merger, each iPass Share outstanding was converted into the right to receive the Transaction Consideration. The iPass Shares are no longer listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market.

 

As part of the acquisition, the Company issued 9,865,412 common shares to shareholders and 705,000 shares were granted to employees.

Monthly Service Revenues

 

The Company’s performance obligations in a monthly SaaS and service offerings are simultaneously received and consumed by the customer and therefore, are generally recognized over time. For recognition purposes, we do not unbundle such services into separate performance obligations as their pattern of transfer does not differ. The Company typically bills its customer at the end of each month. The fees charged may include a combination of fixed and variable charges with the variable charges tied to the number of subscribers or some other measure of volume. Although the consideration may be variable, the volumes are easily estimable at the time of billing, with “true-up” adjustments occurring in the subsequent month. As such adjustments have not historically been material, no amounts of variable consideration are subject to constraint.

 

Installation and Software Development Revenues

 

The Company’s other revenues consist generally of installation and development projects.

 

Installation represents the activities necessary for a customer to obtain access and connectivity to the Company’s monthly SaaS and service offerings. While installation may require separate phases, it represents one performance obligation within the context of the contract.

 

Development consists of programming and other services to add new, additional or customized functionality to a customer’s existing service offerings. Each development activity is typically its own performance obligation.

 

Revenue is recognized over time if the installation and development activities create an asset that has no alternative use for which the Company is entitled to receive payment for performance completed to date. If not, then revenue is not recognized until the applicable performance obligation is satisfied.

 

Arrangements with Multiple Performance Obligations

 

The Company’s contracts with customers may include multiple performance obligations. For such arrangements, the Company allocates revenue to each performance obligation based on its relative standalone selling price. The Company generally determines standalone selling prices based on the prices charged to customers.

 

Net Billings in Excess of Revenues

 

The Company records net billings in excess of revenues when payments are made or due in advance of our performance, including amounts which are refundable.

 

Payment terms vary by the type and location of our customer and the products or services offered. The term between invoicing and when payment is due is not significant. For certain products or services and customer types, payment is required before the products or services are delivered to the customer.

Contract Assets

 

Given the nature of the Company’s services and contracts, it has no contract assets.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or GAAP, requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of net revenue and expenses in the reporting period. We regularly evaluate our estimates and assumptions related to revenue recognition, rebates, allowances for doubtful accounts, sales returns and allowances, warranty reserves, inventory reserves, stock-based compensation expense, intangible assets acquired in connection with our business combinations, long-lived asset valuations, strategic investments, deferred income tax asset valuation allowances, uncertain tax positions, tax contingencies, self-insurance, restructuring costs, litigation and other loss contingencies. We base our estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various other factors that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the recording of revenue, costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. The actual results experienced by us may differ materially and adversely from our estimates. To the extent there are material differences between our estimates and the actual results, our future results of operations will be affected. For a description of our critical accounting policies and estimates, please refer to the “Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates” section in Part II, Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” of our 2018 Annual Report. There have been no material changes in any of our critical accounting policies and estimates during the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2019.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative DisclosureDisclosures about Market Risk

 

Foreign currency exchange rate

 

Although the majority of our business activities are carried out in Euros, we report our financial statements in USD. The conversion of Euros and USD leads to period-to-period fluctuations in our reported USD results arising from changes in the exchange rate between the USD and the Euro. Generally, when the USD strengthens relative to the Euro, it has an unfavorable impact on our reported revenue and income and a favorable impact on our reported expenses. Conversely, when the USD weakens relative to the Euro, it produces a favorable impact on our reported revenue and income, and an unfavorable impact on our reported expenses. The above fluctuations in the USD/Euro exchange rate therefore result in currency translation effects (not to be confused with real currency exchange effects), which impact our reported USD results and may make it difficult to determine actual increases and decreases in our revenue and expenses which are attributable to our actual operating activities. We carry out our business activities primarily in Euros, and we do not currently engage in hedging activities. As the clear majority of our business activities are carried out in Euros and we report our financial statements in USD, fluctuations in foreign currencies impact the total amount of assets and liabilities that we report for our foreign subsidiaries upon the translation of those amounts in USD. We are subject to interest rate risk through our Credit Agreement with Post Road Group, which bears interest at a rate of LIBOR plus 8.5%.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

As of March 31,June 30, 2019, the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial and Accounting Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Based on the evaluation, the Company’s Principal Executive Officer and Principal Accounting Officer have concluded that due a previously reported material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting described below, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as March 31,of June 30, 2019. In light of the previously issued material weakness described below, wethe Company has performed additional analysis and other post-closing proceduresremediation efforts, described below, to ensure ourthe financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.GAAP.

 

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

We previously identified and disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018, a material weakness related to:

 

·Ineffective design, implementation and monitoring of information technology general controls pertaining to the Company’s change management process; and
·Inadequate and ineffective management assessment of internal control over financial reporting, including insufficient experienced resources to complete the documentation of internal control assessment.

 

To address ineffective design, implementation and monitoring of information technology general controls pertaining to the Company’s change management process, the Company has (i) removed all live access to all developers, internal and external, from being able to make coding changes directly in our reporting system; (ii) has continued to monitor and document all changes made in our reporting system and add additional layers of documented review of these changes; (iii) instituted monitoring controls and sample testing of changes made inneeds to be completed on our reporting system to ensure the documented policies are being followed and report the results of these tests to senior management in regular appropriate intervals; and (iv) enhanced our quarterly reporting on the remediation measures to the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors. Management believes thisthe Company has taken significant steps towards the remediation of the identified material weakness has been remediated,weaknesses, as of March 31, 2019, pending further testing. .June 30, 2019.

 

We also continue to develop certain remediation steps to address the material weakness discussed above to improve our assessment of internal control over financial reporting. As of March 31,June 30, 2019, these efforts are ongoing.

  

We are committed to maintaining a strong internal control environment and believe that these remediation actions will represent significant improvements in our controls. However, the identified material weakness in internal control over financial reporting will not be considered remediated until controls have been designed and/or controls are in operation for a sufficient period of time for our management to conclude that the material weaknesses have been remediated. Additional remediation measures may be required, which may require additional implementation time. We will continue to assess the effectiveness of our remediation efforts in connection with our evaluations of internal control over financial reporting.

In the opinion of management, the ultimate resolution of such claims and lawsuits will not have a material effect on our financial position, liquidity, or results of operations. In addition, weWe have previously received, and may in the future continue to receive, claims from third parties asserting, among other things, infringement of their intellectual property rights.

The results of any current or future litigation cannot be predicted with certainty, and regardless of the outcome, litigation can have an adverse impact on us because of defense and settlement costs, diversion of management resources, and other factors.
