Blonder Tongue Laboratories, Inc. (together with its consolidated subsidiaries, the “Company”) is a technology-development and manufacturing company that delivers television signal encoding, transcoding, digital transport, and broadband product solutions to the cable markets the Company serves, including the multi-dwelling unit market, the lodging/hospitality market and the institutional market, including hospitals, prisons and schools, primarily throughout the United States and Canada. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Blonder Tongue Laboratories, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. Significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2018 and for the three and nine months then ended have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted ~~accounting principles (~~in the United States of America (“~~“GAAP”~~GAAP”) for interim financial information and pursuant to the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation ~~S-X. In~~S-X of the ~~opinion of management,~~Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and on the same basis as the Company prepares its annual audited consolidated financial statements. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements ~~contain~~include all adjustments, consisting primarily of normal recurring ~~accruals,~~adjustments, which the Company considers necessary for a fair ~~presentation.~~presentation of the condensed consolidated financial position, operating results and cash flows for the periods presented. The condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2017 has been derived from audited consolidated financial statements. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP for complete financial statements have been condensed or omitted pursuant to ~~Securities and Exchange Commission (“~~SEC”) rules and regulations. ~~These~~The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017, and notes thereto ~~that were~~ included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K, ~~for~~which was filed with the ~~year ended December 31, 2016. Operating~~SEC on April 2, 2018. The results ~~for~~of the three and nine months ended September 30, ~~2017~~2018 are not necessarily indicative of ~~the~~ results ~~that may~~to be expected for the year ending December 31, ~~2017.~~2018 or for any future interim period.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure 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’s significant estimates include stock compensation and reserves related to accounts receivable, ~~inventory~~inventories and deferred tax assets. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The Company evaluates its convertible instruments to determine if those contracts or embedded components of those contracts qualify as derivative financial instruments to be separately accounted for in accordance with Topic 815 of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”). The accounting treatment of derivative financial instruments requires that the Company record the embedded conversion option at its fair value as of the inception date of the agreement and at fair value as of each subsequent balance sheet date. Any change in fair value is recorded as non-operating, non-cash income or expense for each reporting period at each balance sheet date. The Company reassesses the classification of its derivative instruments at each balance sheet date. If the classification changes as a result of events during the period, the contract is reclassified as of the date of the event that caused the reclassification.

The Black-Scholes Model (which approximates the Binomial Lattice Model) was used to estimate the fair value of the conversion options that is classified as a derivative liability on the condensed consolidated balance ~~sheets (See~~sheets. See Note ~~6).~~6 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. The model includes subjective input assumptions that can materially affect the fair value estimates. The expected volatility is estimated based on the most recent historical period of time equal to the weighted average life of the conversion options.

Conversion options are recorded as a discount to the host instrument and are amortized as interest expense over the life of the underlying instrument.

The Company measures fair value of its financial assets on a three-tier value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs, used in the valuation methodologies in measuring fair value:

The fair value hierarchy also requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.

The derivative liability is measured at fair value using quoted market prices and estimated volatility factors based on historical quoted market prices for the Company’s common stock, and is classified within Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy.

Earnings (loss) per share is calculated in accordance with ASC Topic 260 “Earnings Per Share,” which provides for the calculation of “basic” and “diluted” earnings (loss) per share. Basic earnings (loss) per share includes no dilution and is computed by dividing net earnings (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share reflect, in periods in which they have a dilutive effect, the effect of potential issuances of common shares. The diluted share base excludes incremental shares related to stock options, restricted stock and convertible debt of ~~2,053~~1,527 and ~~1,121 and 1,875 and 995~~3,174 for the three-month periods ended September 30, ~~2017~~2018 and ~~2016,~~2017, respectively and ~~1,862~~1,406 and ~~1,121 and 2,028 and 995~~2,983 for the nine-month periods ended September 30, ~~2017~~2018 and ~~2016,~~2017, respectively. These shares were excluded due to their antidilutive effect.

~~Note 3~~On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09,Revenue from Contracts with Customers(“Topic 606”) using the modified retrospective method. Under the modified retrospective method, the Company recognized the cumulative effect of initially applying the new revenue standard as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings. This adjustment did not have a material impact on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2018 are presented under Topic 606, while prior period amounts are not adjusted and continue to be reported in accordance with the Company’s historic accounting underRevenue Recognition (“Topic 605”). The adoption of Topic 606 did not have a material impact on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-07,Compensation – ~~New~~Stock Compensation (“Topic 718”): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting ~~Pronouncements~~. The guidance in this ASU expands the scope of ASC Topic 718 to include all share-based payment arrangements related to the acquisition of goods and services from both nonemployees and employees. This amendment will be effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 31, 2018. The Company does not believe the adoption of ASU 2018-07 will have a material effect on its financial position, results of operations or financial statement disclosure.

In ~~July 2017,~~February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02,Leases (“Topic 842”). This update requires a ~~two-part ASU No. 2017-11, “Earnings per Share (Topic 260), Distinguishing Liabilities~~lessee to recognize on the balance sheet the right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for leases with a lease term of more than twelve months. This update also requires additional disclosures about the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from Equity (Topic 480), Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): I “Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments With Down Round Features” and II “Replacement of the Indefinite Deferral for Mandatorily Redeemable Financial Instruments of Certain Nonpublic Entities and Certain Mandatorily Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests With a Scope Execution.” The ASU Part I changes the classification analysis of certain equity –linked financial instruments with down round features and the related disclosures. Part II of the amendment recharacterizes the indefinite deferral of certain provisions of Topic 480 and do not have an accounting effect. Theleases. This ASU is effective for ~~public business entities for fiscal years,~~interim and ~~interim~~annual periods ~~within those fiscal years,~~ beginning after December 15, ~~2018. Early~~2018 and requires a modified retrospective approach to adoption ~~is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating~~for leases existing at, or entered into after the ~~impact that~~beginning of the ~~adoption~~earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements, with certain practical expedients available. Under prior GAAP, the recognition, measurement and presentation of ~~this new standard~~expenses and cash flows arising from a lease for us as a lessee depend primarily on the lease’s classification as a finance or operating lease. For both types of leases, we will ~~have~~recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability. For capital or finance leases, we will recognize amortization of the right-of-use asset separately from interest expense on ~~its consolidated financial position and results of operations.~~

In ~~May 2014,~~July 2018, the FASB issued ASU ~~2014-09, “Revenue~~2018-11,Leases (“Topic 842”) -Targeted Improvements, which provides another transition method that allows entities to apply the new lease standard at the adoption date and recognize a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption. This transition method option is in addition to the existing transition method of using a modified retrospective transition approach for leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements. The Company is currently evaluating which transition method it will use.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04,Intangibles—Goodwill and Other(“Topic 350”)Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. This standard simplifies the accounting for goodwill impairment. The guidance removes Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test, which requires a hypothetical purchase price allocation. Goodwill impairment will now be the amount by which a reporting unit’s carrying value exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the carrying amount of goodwill. The revised guidance will be applied prospectively and is effective for calendar year-end SEC filers for its annual or any interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. The Company is currently evaluating the effect this new standard will have on its financial position, results of operations or financial statement disclosure.

In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-02,Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income(“Topic 220”): Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from ~~Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)” (“~~Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income("ASU ~~2014-09”~~2018-02"). ASU ~~2014-09 superseded~~2018-02 provides financial statement preparers with an option to reclassify stranded tax effects within accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings in each period in which the effect of the change in the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate in the Tax Reform (or portion thereof) is recorded. ASU 2018-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted for any interim period for which financial statements have not been issued. The Company does not believe that the adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements due the presence of a full valuation allowance. The Company does not believe this new guidance will have a material effect on its financial position, results of operations or financial statement disclosures.

The adoption of Topic 606 represents a change in accounting principle that will provide financial statement readers with enhanced revenue recognition ~~requirements in ASC~~disclosures. In accordance with Topic 604 “Revenue Recognition” and some cost guidance included in ASC Subtopic: 05-35, “Revenue Recognition – Construction-Type and Production-Type Contracts.” The core principle of ASU 2014-09 is that606, the Company recognizes revenue ~~is recognized~~ when ~~the transfer of~~ goods or services are transferred to customers ~~occurs~~ in an amount that reflects the consideration to which ~~the Company~~it expects to ~~be entitled~~receive in exchange for those goods or services. ~~ASU 2014-09 requires the disclosure of sufficient information to enable readers of the Company’s financial statements to understand the nature, amount, timing~~In determining when and ~~uncertainty of~~how revenue ~~and cash flows arising from customer contracts. ASU 2014-09 also requires disclosure of information regarding significant judgments and changes in judgments, and assets~~is recognized from ~~costs incurred to obtain or fulfill a contract. ASU 2014-09 provides two methods of retrospective application. The first method would require~~contracts with customers, the Company ~~to apply ASU 2014-09 to each prior reporting period presented. The second method would require~~performs the ~~Company to apply ASU 2014-09 to retrospectively apply ASU 2014-09~~following five-step analysis: (i) identification of contract with the cumulative effect recognized at the date of initial application. ASU 2014-09 will be effective for the Company beginning in fiscal 2019 as a result of ASU 2015-14, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date, “which was issued by the FASB in August 2015 and extended the original effective date by one year. In preparation for the adoption of the new standard in the fiscal year beginning January 2019, the Company continues to evaluate contract terms and potential impacts of the five-step model specified by the new guidance. That five-step model includes: (1)customer; (ii) determination of ~~whether a contract-an agreement between two or more parties that creates legally enforceable rights and obligations-exists; (2) identification of the~~ performance ~~obligations in the contract; (3) determination~~obligations; (iii) measurement of the transaction ~~price; (4)~~price; (iv) allocation of the transaction price to the performance ~~obligations in the contract;~~obligations; and ~~(5)~~(v) recognition of revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies each performance obligation.

The Company generates revenue through the sale of products and services. Revenue from the sale of products and services is recorded when the performance obligation is ~~satisfied.~~fulfilled, usually at the time of shipment or when the service is provided, at the net sales price (transaction price). Estimates of variable consideration, such as volume discounts and rebates, are reviewed and revised periodically by management. The Company ~~anticipates adopting~~elected to present revenue net of sales tax and other similar taxes and account for shipping and handling activities as fulfillment costs rather than separate performance obligations. Payments are typically due in 30 days, following delivery of products or completion of services.

The following table presents the ~~standard using~~Company’s disaggregated revenues by revenue source:

All of the ~~modified retrospective approach at adoption.~~ Company’s sales are to customers located in North America.

The Company is ~~currently evaluating individual customer contracts~~a technology-development and ~~will be documenting changes,~~manufacturing company that delivers a wide range of products and services to the cable entertainment and media industry. Digital video headend products (including encoders) are used by a system operator for acquisition, processing, compression, encoding and management of digital video. Data products give service providers, integrators, and premises owners a means to deliver data, video, and voice-over-coaxial in locations such as ~~needed,~~hospitality, MDU's, and college campuses, using IP technology. HFC distribution products are used to ~~its accounting policies~~transport signals from the headend to their ultimate destination in a home, apartment unit, hotel room, office or other terminal location along a fiber optic, coax or HFC distribution network.

Contract-manufactured products, provides manufacturing, research and development and product support services for other companies’ products. The Company continues to evaluate the impact of the adoption of this standard.

There have been four new ASUs issued amending certain aspects of ASU 2014-09, ASU 2016-08, “Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross Versus Net),” was issued in March 2016 to clarify certain aspects of the principal versus agent guidance in ASU 2014-09. In addition, ASU 2016-10, “Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing,” issued in April 2016, amends other sections of ASU 2014-09 including clarifying guidance related to identifying performance obligations and licensing implementation. ASU 2016-12, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers — Narrow Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients” provides amendments and practical expedients to the guidance in ASU 2014-09 in the areas of assessing collectability, presentation of sales taxes received from customers, noncash consideration, contract modification and clarification of using the full retrospective approach to adopt ASU 2014-09. Finally, ASU 2016-20, “Technical Corrections and Improvements to Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers,” was issued in December 2016, and provides elections regarding the disclosures required for remaining performance obligations in certain cases and makes other technical corrections and improvements to the standard. With its evaluation of the impact of ASU 2014-09, the Company will also consider the impact on its financial statements related to the updated guidance provided by these four new ASUs.

In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09, Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718) Scope of Modification Accounting (“ASU 2017-09”). This ASU clarifies which changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award require an entry to apply modification accounting in Topic 718. The standard is effective for the Company on January 1, 2018, with early adoption permitted. The impact of this new standard will depend on the extent and nature of future changes to the terms of the Company’s share-based payment awards.

Inventories are stated at the lower of ~~net realizable value or~~ cost, determined by the first-in, first-out (“~~FIFO”~~FIFO”) ~~method.~~method, or net realizable value.

The Company periodically analyzes anticipated product sales based on historical results, current backlog and marketing plans. Based on these analyses, the Company anticipates that certain products will not be sold during the next twelve months. Inventories that are not anticipated to be sold in the next twelve months have been classified as non-current.

Approximately ~~59%~~45% and ~~68%~~51% of the non-current inventories were comprised of finished goods at September 30, ~~2017~~2018 and December 31, ~~2016,~~2017, respectively. The Company has established a program to use interchangeable parts in its various product offerings and to modify certain of its finished goods to better match customer demands. In addition, the Company has instituted additional marketing programs to dispose of the slower moving inventories.

The Company continually analyzes its slow-moving and excess inventories. Based on historical and projected sales volumes for finished goods, historical and projected usage of raw materials and anticipated selling prices, the Company ~~establishes reserves.~~writes down inventory to net realizable value. Inventory that is in excess of current and projected use is reduced by an allowance to a level that approximates its estimate of future demand. Products that are determined to be obsolete are written down to net realizable value.

On December 28, 2016, the Company entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (the “Sterling Agreement”) with Sterling National Bank (“Sterling”). The Sterling Agreement provides the Company with a credit facility in an aggregate amount of $8,500 (the “Sterling Facility”), consisting of a $5,000 asset-based revolving line of credit (the “Revolver”) and a $3,500 amortizing term loan (the “Term Loan”). The Sterling Facility ~~matures~~expires in December 2019. Interest on the Revolver is variable, based upon the 30-day LIBOR rate ~~(1.23%~~(2.26% at September 30, ~~2017)~~2018) plus a margin of 4.00%. Interest on the Term Loan also is variable, based upon the 30-day LIBOR rate ~~(1.23%~~(2.26% at September 30, ~~2017)~~2018) plus a margin of 4.50%. The Term Loan will amortize at the rate of $19 per month. On March 30, 2017, the Company and Sterling entered into a certain First Amendment to Loan and Security Agreement (the “First Amendment”), pursuant to which, among other things, the parties amended the definitions of certain items used in the calculation of the fixed charge coverage ratio, deferred the first measurement period of the financial covenants contemplated by the Sterling Agreement, ~~from December 31, 2016 to~~until January 31, 2017, and modified certain terms relating to permitted investments by the Company. At September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the outstanding balances under the Revolver and the Term Loan were ~~$2,427~~$2,582 and ~~$3,344,~~$3,111 and $2,487 and $3,286, respectively. All outstanding indebtedness under the Sterling Agreement is secured by all of the assets of the Company and its subsidiaries.

The Sterling Agreement contains customary covenants, including restrictions on the incurrence of additional indebtedness, encumbrances on the Company’s assets, the payment of cash dividends or similar distributions, the repayment of any subordinated indebtedness and the sale or other disposition of the Company’s assets. In addition, the Company must maintain (i) a fixed charge coverage ratio of not less than 1.1 to 1.0 for any fiscal month (determined as of the last day of each fiscal month on a rolling twelve-month basis, as calculated for the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries) and (ii) a leverage ratio of not more than 2.0 to 1.0 for any fiscal month (determined as of the last day of each fiscal month, as calculated for the Company and its consolidated ~~subsidiaries). By virtue of~~subsidiaries. At September 30, 2018, the ~~First Amendment,~~Company was in compliance with ~~the foregoing~~all financial covenants ~~was tested commencing as of January 31, 2017.~~under the Sterling Agreement.

On March 28, 2016, the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, R.L. Drake Holdings, LLC (“Drake”), as borrowers and Robert J. Pallé, as agent (in such capacity “Agent”) and as a lender, together with Carol M. Pallé, Steven Shea and James H. Williams as lenders (collectively, the “Subordinated Lenders”) entered into a certain Amended and Restated Senior Subordinated Convertible Loan and Security Agreement (the “Subordinated Loan Agreement”), pursuant to which the Subordinated Lenders agreed to provide the Company with a delayed draw term loan facility of up to $750 (“Subordinated Loan Facility”), under which individual advances in amounts not less than $50 may be drawn by the Company. Interest on the outstanding balance under the Subordinated Loan Facility from time to time, accrues at 12% per annum (subject to increase under certain circumstances) and is payable monthly in-kind by the automatic increase of the principal amount of the loan on each monthly interest payment date, by the amount of the accrued interest payable at that time (“PIK Interest”); provided, however, that at the option of the Company, it may pay interest in cash on any interest payment date, in lieu of PIK Interest. The Subordinated Lenders have the option of converting the principal balance of the loan, in whole (unless otherwise agreed by the Company), into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price of $0.54 per share (subject to adjustment under certain circumstances). This conversion right was subject to stockholder approval as required by the rules of the NYSE MKT, which approval was obtained on May 24, 2016 at the Company’s annual meeting of stockholders. The obligations of the Company and Drake under the Subordinated Loan Agreement are secured by substantially all of the Company’s and Drake’s assets, including by a mortgage against the Old Bridge ~~Property~~Facility (the “Subordinated Mortgage”). The Subordinated Loan Agreement terminates three years from the date of closing, at which time the accreted principal balance of the loan (by virtue of the PIK Interest) plus any other accrued unpaid interest, will be due and payable in full.

On April 17, 2018, Robert J. Pallé and Carol Pallé exercised their conversion rights and converted $455 ($350 principal and $105 of accrued interest) of their loan (representing the entire amount of principal and interest outstanding and held by Mr. and Mrs. Pallé on that date) into 842 shares of the Company’s common stock.

In connection with the Subordinated Loan Agreement, the Company, Drake, the Subordinated Lenders and Sterling entered into a Subordination Agreement (the “Subordination Agreement”), pursuant to which the rights of the Subordinated Lenders under the Subordinated Loan Agreement and the Subordinated Mortgage are subordinate to the rights of Sterling under the Sterling Agreement and related security documents. The Subordination Agreement precludes the Company from making cash payments of interest in lieu of PIK Interest, in the absence of the prior written consent of Sterling.

As of both September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Subordinated Lenders had advanced $500 to the Company. In addition, ~~$18~~$157 and ~~$52~~$124 of PIK interest was accrued ~~in the three months and nine months ended~~as of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively. As noted above, in April 2018, $455 under the Subordinated Loan Facility was converted by certain Subordinated Lenders. The Company evaluated the conversion option embedded in the Subordinated Loan Agreement issued in December 2016 in accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 815,Derivatives and Hedging, and determined that the conversion option had all of the characteristics of a derivative in its entirety and did not qualify for an exception to the derivative accounting rules. Specifically, prior to the adoption of the First Sub-Debt Amendment, pursuant to Section 4.4(e)(ii) of the Subordinated Debt Agreement, the exercise price of the conversion option entitled the Subordinated Lenders to an adjustment of the exercise price in the event that the Company subsequently issued equity securities or equity linked securities at prices more favorable to a new investor than the exercise price of the conversion option embedded in the Subordinated Loan Agreement (the “Price Protection Provision”). Accordingly, the conversion option was not indexed to the Company’s own stock. Due to the derivative treatment of the conversion option, the Company recorded $260 derivative liability at December 31, 2016. On March 21, 2017, the Company, Drake, and the Subordinated Lenders entered into a certain First Amendment to Amended and Restated Convertible Loan and Security Agreement (the “First Sub-Debt Amendment”), pursuant to which the Subordinated Loan Agreement was amended to eliminate the Price Protection Provision, effective as of such date. The First Sub-Debt Amendment also eliminated certain defined terms related to the Price Protection Provision. As a result of the First Sub-Debt Amendment, during the first quarter of 2017, the Company recorded a change in the derivative liability (expense) of $142, the fair value of the liability at the date of the modification and ~~reclassified~~reclassed the aggregate value of the derivative liability at the date of modification in the amount of $402 to additional paid-in capital. In addition, during the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, the Company incurred interest of $6 and $33 and $ 18 and $52, respectively, related to these loans.

General

The Company was incorporated in November 1988, under the laws of Delaware as GPS Acquisition Corp. for the purpose of acquiring the business of Blonder-Tongue Laboratories, Inc., a New Jersey corporation, which was founded in 1950 by Ben H. Tongue and Isaac S. Blonder to design, manufacture and supply a line of electronics and systems equipment principally for the private cable industry. Following the acquisition, the Company changed its name to Blonder Tongue Laboratories, Inc. The Company completed the initial public offering of its shares of Common Stock in December 1995.

Today, the Company is a technology-development and manufacturing company that delivers a wide range of products and services to the cable entertainment and media industry. For 65 years, Blonder Tongue/Drake products have been deployed in a long list of locations, including lodging/hospitality, multi-dwelling units/apartments, broadcast studios/networks, education universities/schools, healthcare hospitals/fitness centers, government facilities/offices, prisons, airports, sports stadiums/arenas, entertainment venues/casinos, retail stores, and small-medium businesses. These applications are variously described as commercial, institutional and/or enterprise environments and will be referred to herein collectively as “CIE”. The customers we serve include business entities installing private video and data networks in these environments, whether they are the largest cable television operators, telco or satellite providers, integrators, architects, engineers or the next generation of Internet Protocol Television (“IPTV”) streaming video providers. The technology requirements of these markets change rapidly and the Company’s research and development team is continually delivering high performance-lower cost solutions to meet customers’ needs.

The Company’s strategy is focused on providing a wide range of products to meet the needs of the CIE environments described above (e.g., hotels, hospitals, prisons, schools, etc.), and to provide offerings that are optimized for an operator’s existing infrastructure, as well as the operator’s future strategy. A key component of this growth strategy is to provide products that deliver the latest technologies (such as IPTV and digital SD and HD video content) and have a high performance-to-cost ratio.

The Company has seen a continuing long-term shift in product mix from analog products to digital products and expects this shift to continue. Sales of digital video headend products were ~~$2,100,000~~$2,814,000 and ~~$2,763,000~~$2,100,000 in the third three months of ~~2017~~2018 and ~~2016,~~2017, respectively and ~~$7,330,000~~$7,899,000 and ~~$8,889,000~~$7,330,000 in the first nine months of ~~2017~~2018 and ~~2016,~~2017, respectively. Sales of analog video headend products were ~~$324,000~~$411,000 and ~~$559,000~~$324,000 in the third three months of ~~2017~~2018 and ~~2016,~~2017, respectively and ~~$1,360,000~~$1,234,000 and ~~$1,789,000~~$1,360,000 in the first nine months of ~~2017~~2018 and ~~2016,~~2017, respectively. Any substantial decrease in sales of analog products without a related increase in digital products could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

The Company’s manufacturing is allocated primarily between its facility in Old Bridge, New Jersey the (“Old Bridge Facility”) and a key contract manufacturer located in the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”). The Company currently manufactures most of its digital products, including the latest encoder and EdgeQAM collections at the Old Bridge Facility. Since 2007 the Company has been manufacturing certain high volume, labor intensive products, including many of the Company’s analog products, in the PRC, pursuant to a manufacturing agreement that governs the production of products that may from time to time be the subject of purchase orders submitted by (and in the discretion of) the Company. Although the Company does not currently anticipate the transfer of any additional products to the PRC for manufacture, the Company may do so if business and market conditions make it advantageous to do so. Manufacturing products both at the Company’s Old Bridge Facility as well as in the PRC, enables the Company to realize cost reductions while maintaining a competitive position and time-to-market advantage.

The Company may, from time to time, provide manufacturing, research and development and product support services for other companies’ products. In 2015, the Company entered into an agreement with VBrick Systems, Inc. (“VBrick”) to provide procurement, manufacturing, warehousing and fulfillment support to VBrick for a line of high end encoder products and sub-assemblies. Sales to VBrick ~~purchases~~ of ~~these~~encoder products were approximately ~~$244,000~~$227,000 and ~~$465,000~~$244,000 in the third three months of ~~2017~~2018 and ~~2016,~~2017, respectively and ~~$599,000~~$606,000 and ~~$994,000~~$599,000 in the first nine months of 2018 and 2017, ~~and 2016,~~ respectively. Sales to VBrick for sub-assemblies were not material in the third three months or first nine months of 2018 or 2017.

As of September 30, ~~2017~~2018, and December 31, ~~2016,~~2017, the Company’s working capital was ~~$4,113,000~~$4,869,000 and ~~$3,464,000,~~$5,011,000, respectively. The ~~increase~~decrease in working capital is primarily due to ~~improved operations,~~ an increase of ~~inventories~~accounts payable of ~~$426,000~~$487,000, offset by an increase in prepaid expenses of $315,000 and inventory of $267,000.

The Company’s net cash provided by operating activities for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2018 was $96,000 primarily due to an increase in accounts ~~receivable~~payable, accrued compensation and other accrued expenses of ~~$353,000.~~

The Company’s net cash used in operating activities for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2017 was $250,000 primarily due to a net loss of $640,000, an increase of inventories of $426,000 and an increase in accounts receivable of $353,000 offset by ~~non cash~~non-cash adjustments of $1,246,000.

Cash used in investing activities for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2018 was $92,000, of which $72,000 was attributable to capital expenditures and $20,000 was attributable to additional license fees. Cash used in investing activities for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2017 was $160,000, of which $60,000 was attributable to additional license fees and $100,000 was attributable to capital expenditures.

Cash provided by financing activities was $141,000 for the first nine months of 2017, which was comprised of net borrowings on the Revolver of $307,000 offset by repayments of ~~long term~~long-term debt of $166,000.

For a full description of the Company’s senior secured indebtedness under the Sterling Facility and the Company’s senior subordinated convertible indebtedness under the Subordinated Loan Facility, and their respective effects upon the Company’s condensed consolidated financial position and results of operations, see Note 5 – Debt and Note 6 – Subordinated Convertible Debt with Related Parties, of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

The Company’s primary sources of liquidity are its existing cash balances, cash generated from operations and amounts available under the Sterling ~~Facility and the Subordinated Loan~~ Facility. As of September 30, ~~2017,~~2018, the Company had approximately ~~$2,427,000~~$2,582,000 outstanding under the Revolver and ~~$813,000~~$320,000 of additional availability for borrowing under the Revolver, as well as ~~$605,000~~$202,000 outstanding ~~under the Subordinated Loan Facility and $250,000 of additional availability for borrowing~~ under the Subordinated Loan Facility.

~~Prior to 2016,~~On August 3, 2018, the Company incurred significant operating losses and did not have the necessary financing arrangements in place to support its capital resource needs. These factors contributed to the Company’s substantial doubtentered into an Agreement of ~~its ability to continue as a going concern, which were set forth in its Form 10-K~~Sale (the “Sale Agreement”) with Jake Brown Road LLC (“Jake Brown”), providing for the ~~fiscal year ended December 31, 2015 and in subsequent quarterly reports on Form 10-Q prior to consummation~~sale of the ~~Sterling~~Old Bridge Facility, pursuant to which Jake Brown has agreed to pay the Company $10,500,000 at closing, subject to certain adjustments as provided in the Sale Agreement. Completion of the transactions contemplated by the Sale Agreement is subject to a number of closing conditions, including Jake Brown’s satisfactory completion of certain due diligence matters. In addition, in connection with the closing, the Company (as tenant) and the Jake Brown (as Landlord) will enter into a lease (the “Lease”), pursuant to which the Company will continue to occupy, and continue to conduct its manufacturing, engineering, sales and administrative functions in, the Old Bridge Facility. ~~During 2016, management addressed going concern remediation through entering~~The Lease will have an initial term of five years and allows the Company to extend the term for an additional five years following the initial term. The Company is obligated to pay base rent of $836,855.50 for the first year of the Lease, with the amount of the base rent adjusted for each subsequent year to equal 102.5% of the preceding year’s base rent. On September 20, 2018, the parties agreed to an extension of the due diligence period under the Sale Agreement, and on October 8, 2018 the parties entered into a further amendment of the Sale Agreement to, among other things, extend the closing date for completion of the transactions contemplated by the Sale Agreement to no later than the January 10, 2019, unless on or before the close of business on January 4, 2019, Jake Brown notifies the Company that it requires up to an additional twenty calendar days to close and provides an additional extension deposit. Assuming the sale closes, the Company currently expects to use the net proceeds to repay outstanding amounts under the Sterling Facility ~~(a long term obligation due in December 2019), which refinanced its prior Santander Agreement (which was due~~and the Subordinated Loan Facility (to the extent the holders of the convertible subordinated indebtedness do not convert all or part of the indebtedness into shares of the Company’s common stock). The Company currently intends to expire in December 2016). In addition, the Company reduced operating expenses to approximately $9,028,000 in 2016 from approximately $10,555,000 in 2015. Net losses were reduced dramatically and cash flows from operations also improved, as cash generated from operating activities was approximately $771,000 in 2016 compared to cash used in operating activities of approximately $(798,000) in 2015. At December 31, 2016 and September 30, 2017, the Company had approximately $3,464,000 and $4,113,000 ofuse any remaining proceeds for working capital ~~respectively. As a result~~and other general corporate purposes.

Even without the sale of ~~continued improvements in~~ the ~~Company’s operations, liquidity, capital resources and working capital,~~Old Bridge Facility as discussed above, the Company believes it has the ability to sustain its operations and satisfy its obligations in the normal course of business for at least one year from the issuance date of this filing.

The Company’s primary ~~long-term~~ obligations are for payment of interest and principal on the Sterling Facility, which expires on December 28, 2019, and the Subordinated Loan Facility, which expires on March 28, 2019.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

The Company maintains a system of disclosure controls and procedures designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the Company’s reports filed or submitted pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. The Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on this evaluation, the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective at September 30, ~~2017.~~2018.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

The Company is a party to certain proceedings incidental to the ordinary course of its business, none of which, in the current opinion of management, is likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in “Risk Factors” included in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017. Other than as set forth below, there are no material changes from the risk factors included in Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017.

Increased tariffs or other trade actions could adversely affect our business.

There is currently significant uncertainty about the future relationship between the United States and China with respect to trade policies and tariffs. We source a variety of finished products and component parts from China. Although we currently believe that most of those products are not subject to tariffs, we cannot assure you that governmental authorities will agree with that position or that future actions may be taken by the United States or China to impose tariffs on those products and components or otherwise affect our ability to source those products and components, which could have an adverse effect on our future operations. In addition, certain of the products we obtain from China are currently subject to tariffs. Although we do not expect that the currently-applicable tariffs will have an adverse effect on our results of operations, we have raised prices on certain products to attempt to offset the effect of those tariffs, and we are also considering alternative sources of supply from manufacturers in other countries and moving certain manufacturing activities to our Old Bridge facility as additional ways to mitigate the effect of those tariffs. If our expectations regarding the effect of the currently-applicable tariffs prove to be incorrect and we are unable to offset or mitigate the effects of those tariffs, our future operating results may be adversely affected.
