1. Organization and Business Operations

Organization

American Virtual Cloud Technologies, Inc. (“AVCT,” the “Company,” “we,” “us,” “our” or “Successor”) was incorporated in Delaware on April 7, 2016.

On April 7, 2020 (the “Closing“Computex Closing Date”), AVCT (formerly known as Pensare Acquisition Corp.) consummated a business combination transaction (the “Business“Computex Business Combination”) in which it acquired Stratos Management Systems, Inc. (“Computex”), a privatean operating company that does business as Computex Technology Solutions. The Business Combination was consummated pursuant to the terms of an amended agreement originally entered into on July 25, 2019. In connection with the closing of the Computex Business Combination, the Company changed its name to American Virtual Cloud Technologies, Inc. See Note 5 for additional information about the Business Combination.

In the Business Combination,On December 1, 2020 (the “Kandy Closing Date”), the Company isacquired the Kandy Communications business (hereafter referred to as “Kandy”) from Ribbon Communications, Inc. and certain of its affiliates (“Ribbon”), by acquiring certain assets, assuming certain liabilities and acquiring all of the outstanding interests of Kandy Communications LLC.

For accounting purposes, both Computex and Kandy were considered the acquireracquirees, and Computex isthe Company was considered the acquiree and the Predecessor, for accounting purposes.acquirer. The Business Combination wasacquisitions were accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting,accounting. See Note 5 for additional information.

Nature of current business

Computex is a leading multi-brand technology solutions provider to large global customers, providing a comprehensive and integrated set of technology solutions, through its extensive hardware, software and value-added service offerings. Computex designs best-fit solutions, and with the help of leading vendors in the industry, helps its customers with the procurement of suitable hardware and software that are appropriate for their specific needs. With primary operating locations in Minnesota, Michigan, Florida and Texas, services offered by Computex include directory and messaging, enterprise networking, cybersecurity, collaboration, data center services, integration, storage, backup, virtualization, converged infrastructures and unified communications-as-a-service (“UCaaS”).

Kandy, a provider of cloud-based enterprise services, globally deploys a white-label, carrier-grade cloud-based platform for UCaaS, communications platform as a service (“CPaaS”) and contact center as a service (“CCaaS”) for mid-market and enterprise customers across a proprietary multi-tenant, highly scalable cloud platform. The Kandy platform also includes pre-built customer engagement tools, based on web real-time communication technology (“WebRTC technology”), known as Kandy Wrappers, and white-labeled services that are offered to a variety of customers including communications service providers and systems integrators. With Kandy, companies can quickly embed real-time communications capabilities into their existing applications and business processes.

Recent development

On September 16, 2021, the Company issued a press release announcing that as a result of a decision by the Company’s Board of Directors to explore strategic alternatives previously announced on April 7, 2021, the Board had authorized the Company to focus its strategy on acquisitions and organic growth in its cloud technologies business as well as to explore strategic opportunities for its IT solutions business, including the planned divestiture of Computex. The Company believes that the change will allow it to optimize resource allocation, focus on core competencies, and improve its ability to invest in areas of maximal growth potential. Proceeds from any potential sale transaction are expected to be used to further deleverage the balance sheet and provide working capital.

Computex was not classified as held for sale as of September 30, 2021 as the criteria for the reporting unit to be classified as held for sale were not met as of September 30, 2021. However, in connection with the potential sale of Computex, the Company compared the expected proceeds less costs to sell with the carrying value of the reporting unit and in connection therewith recorded a noncash goodwill impairment charge of $20,500 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021.

Also, in July 2021, the Board of Directors approved and executed certain organizational and personnel changes as part of a strategic plan to flatten the Company’s corporate structure, reduce overhead and more directly align its business units with their respective markets.

Also see Note 17, Subsequent Events, regarding a registered direct offering and a concurrent private placement that were announced on November 2, 2021.

Covid-19

The novel strain of coronavirus (“COVID-19”) continues to significantly impact local, regional, and global economies, businesses, supply chains, production and sales across a range of industries. The extent of its impact on our operational and financial performance is uncertain and difficult to predict and we remain cautious about the global recovery.

To protect the health and safety of our employees, our daily execution has evolved into a largely virtual model. However, we have found ways to continue to engage with and assist our customers and partners as they work to navigate the current environment. We will continue to monitor the current environment and may take further actions that may be required by federal, state or local authorities or that we determine to be in the interests of our employees, customers, and partners.

2. Liquidity

Historically, the Company’s primary sources of liquidity have been cash and cash equivalents, cash flows from operations (when available) and cash flows from financing activities, including funding under its Credit Agreement (defined and more fully discussed in Note 8). From time to time, the Company may also choose to access the debt and equity markets to fund acquisitions and fund working capital to diversify its capital sources. The Company’s current principal capital requirements are to fund working capital, fund capital expenditures and make investments that are in line with its business strategy.

The Credit Agreement, as amended, matures on December 31, 2021, and, as of September 30, 2021, provided for maximum borrowings of $13,000 on the line of credit portion with scheduled reductions of $1,000 in availability on October 1, 2021, November 1, 2021 and December 1, 2021. As amended, the Credit Agreement requires the Company to maintain a minimum monthly liquidity (defined as unrestricted cash plus availability under the line of credit) of $3,000 and limits unfinanced capital expenditures to $3,000. As of September 30, 2021, amounts outstanding under the term loan and the Successor’sline of credit under the Credit Agreement were $3,200 and $8,839, respectively.

In addition, at September 30, 2021, the Company had an unrestricted cash balance of $4,201 in its operating bank accounts and, as of October 1, 2021, had availability under its line of credit of $4,183. Also, as of September 30, 2021, the Company’s current liabilities exceeded its current assets by $26,564, primarily as a result of the classification of certain debt as current, specifically, the components of the Credit Agreement and all promissory notes.

On or before the maturity date of the Credit Agreement, the Company expects to seek to either negotiate an extension of the Credit Agreement or enter into a new agreement with another lender.

Also see Note 8 for information regarding a new promissory note in the principal amount of $5,000 entered into on September 16, 2021 (the “2021 Note”).

Whereas the Company continues to analyze its liquidity to ensure that it is able to execute on its operational plan, it believes that cash anticipated to be generated from future operations, as well as borrowings from lending and project financing sources and proceeds from equity and debt offerings will provide sufficient liquidity to fund operations for at least one year after the date the financial statements are issued. However, if the Company is unable to achieve its forecasts, fails to meet any of the financial covenants in the Credit Agreement and is unable to obtain a waiver or an amendment under the Credit Agreement to allow it to continue to borrow, or raise additional equity or debt capital, the Company may need to pursue one or more alternatives, such as to reduce or delay investments in its business, or seek additional financing. The Company can provide no assurance that future funding will be available if and when required or that such funding will be available on terms that it finds acceptable. Any projection is based on the Company’s current expectations regarding new project financing and product sales and service, cost structure, cash burn rate and other operating assumptions.

3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are presented in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information or footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC for interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes necessary for a comprehensive presentation of financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. In the opinion of management, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, which are necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, operating results and cash flows for the periods presented.

These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, as amended, for the year ended December 31, 2020, as filed with the SEC on May 14, 2021. The interim results for the period ended September 30, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the year ending December 31, 2021 or any future interim periods.

In the Computex Business Combination, Computex was considered the predecessor for accounting purposes, and the successor financial statements reflect a new basis of accounting that is based on the fair value of the net assets acquired and liabilities assumed. In the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company clearly distinguishes between the entity that existed before the Computex Closing Date (“Predecessor”) and the entity that existed on and after such date (“Successor”). Because the Successor’s financial statements are presented on a different basis from the Predecessor’s financial statements, the two entities may not be comparable in certain respects. As a result, a black line is used to separate the Successor and the Predecessor columns or sections in certain tables included in the condensed consolidated financial statements.

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company include the accounts of AVCT and its wholly owned subsidiary, Computex. The financial position, results of operations and cash flows described herein for the dates and periods prior to April 7, 2020 relate to the operations of Computex and its subsidiaries. The historical financial information of AVCT prior to the business combination (a special purpose acquisition company, or “SPAC”) are not reflected in the Predecessor financial statements as it is believed that including such amounts would make those financial statements less useful to users. SPACs typically deposit the proceeds received from their initial public offerings into a separate trust account until a business combination occurs. Once the business combination occurs, such funds are then used to satisfy the consideration for the acquiree and/or to pay stockholders who elect to redeem their shares of common stock in connection with the business combination. The operations of a SPAC, until the closing of a business combination, usually consists of transaction expenses and income earned from the trust account investments.

Currently, the Company’s primary operations are through its wholly owned subsidiary, Computex.

Recent Development

On August 5, 2020, we entered into a Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Ribbon Communications, Inc. (“Ribbon”), Ribbon Communications Operating Company, Inc. (“RCOCI”) and Ribbon Communications International Limited (together with RCOCI, the “Sellers”), pursuant to which AVCT has agreed to purchase the Sellers’ cloud-based enterprise services business (also known as the Kandy Communications business) (the “Kandy Business”) by acquiring certain of the Sellers’ and their respective affiliates assets (and assuming certain of the Sellers’ and their respective affiliates’ liabilities) primarily associated with the Kandy Business, and acquiring all of the outstanding interests of Kandy Communications LLC. See Note 16 of the condensed consolidated financial statements for more information.

Covid-19

Commencing in December 2019, the novel strain of coronavirus (“COVID-19”) began spreading throughout the world, including the first outbreak in the US in February 2020. On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a global pandemic and recommended containment and mitigation measures worldwide. COVID-19 has disrupted and continues to significantly disrupt local, regional, and global economies and businesses. The COVID-19 outbreak is disrupting supply chains and affecting production and sales across a range of industries. The extent of the impact of COVID-19 on our operational and financial performance will depend on certain developments, including the duration and spread of the outbreak, impact on our customers, employees and vendors, all of which are uncertain and cannot be predicted. At this point, the extent to which COVID-19 may impact our financial condition and/or results of operations is uncertain.

In response to COVID-19, we have put into place certain restrictions, requirements and guidelines to protect the health of our employees and clients, including requiring that certain conditions be met before employees return to the Company’s offices. Also, to protect the health and safety of our employees, our daily execution has evolved into a largely virtual model. Between April 1, 2020 and September 1, 2020, salaries of Computex’s employees were reduced and there are efforts to reduce other operating expenses relative to revenue. We plan to continue to monitor the current environment and may take further actions that may be required by federal, state or local authorities or that we determine are in the interests of our employees, customers, and partners.

NASDAQ listing

On April 9, 2020, the Company was notified by the NASDAQ via a certified letter (the “Determination Letter”) that it had not complied with the requirements of the NASDAQ Listing Rule IM-5101-2, which required the Company to meet the requirements for initial listing after the completion of the business combination. The Determination Letter stated that the Company’s common stock did not meet the minimum $4.00 bid price and the $15 million market value requirement for publicly held shares, which are set forth in the NASDAQ Listing Rule 5505. On May 27, 2020, the NASDAQ granted the Company an extension to demonstrate compliance with the applicable requirements. During the third quarter of 2020, the Company achieved compliance and was so notified by the NASDAQ via letter dated August 26, 2020.

2. Liquidity

At September 30, 2020, the Company had unrestricted and restricted cash of $3,715 and $688, respectively, in its operating bank accounts and had a working capital deficit of $20,690. Also, the Company’s Credit Agreement (as defined in Note 8) matures on June 30, 2021.

On or before the maturity date of the Credit Agreement, the Company plans to seek to either negotiate an extension of the Credit Agreement or enter into a new agreement with another lender. In addition, the Company is in the process of seeking to raise working capital for its current operations and also to fund the pending acquisition of the Kandy Business (as more fully discussed in Note 16). There can be no assurance that financing will be available in the amounts that the Company requires or on terms that are acceptable, if at all.

3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are presented in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

In the opinion of management, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, which are necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, operating results and cash flows for the periods presented.

These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with Stratos Management Systems, Inc.’s consolidated financial statements and notes as of December 31, 2019 and 2018 and for the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017, included in the Report on Form 8-K/A filed with the SEC on April 14, 2020. The interim results for the periods ended September 30, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the year ending December 31, 2020 or any future interim periods.

As a result of the Business Combination, the Company is considered the acquirer and Computex is considered the acquiree and the accounting predecessor. The Business Combination was accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting, and the Successor’s financial statements reflect a new basis of accounting that is based on the fair value of the net assets acquired. In the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company clearly distinguishes between the entity that existed before the Closing Date (“Predecessor”) and the entity that existed on and after such date (“Successor”). Because the Successor’s financial statements are presented on a different basis from the Predecessor’s financial statements, the two entities may not be comparable, in certain respects.

As more fully discussed above, the historical financial information of AVCT prior to the business combination (a SPAC) has not been reflected in the Predecessor financial statements as such historical amounts have been determined not to be useful information to a user of the financial statements. Accordingly, all activity reported prior to April 7, 2020 (the Predecessor period) reflect only the operations of Computex.

Use of estimates

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 disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of sales (or revenues) and expenses during the reporting period.

Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that estimates made as of the date of the financial statements could change in the near term due to one or more future events. Accordingly, the actual results could differ significantly from those estimates. Significant accounting estimates reflected in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements include, but are not limited to, revenue recognition, allowance for doubtful accounts, accounting for warrants, recognition and measurement of income tax assets, valuation of share-based compensation, discount related to the fair value of warrants, and the valuation of net assets acquiredacquired.

Significant accounting policies

The significant accounting policies used in preparing these condensed consolidated financial statements were applied on a basis consistent with those reflected in our consolidated financial statements that are included in the Business Combination.

Revenue recognition

Effective January 1, 2019,annual report on Form 10-K for the Company adoptedyear ended December 31, 2020, as amended, that was filed with the SEC on May 14, 2021, except for changes from the adoption of Financial Accounting StandardStandards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09, No. 2020-06, “RevenueDebt - Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity,” (“ASU No. 2020-06”). The updates to our accounting policies from Contractsadopting ASU 2020-06 are provided in Note 4.

Public, Private Placement and EBC Warrants

On July 27, 2017, the Company entered into certain Warrant Purchase Agreements with Customers. This ASU createdeach of Pensare Sponsor Group, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Sponsor”), MasTec, Inc., a Florida corporation, and EarlyBirdCapital, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“EBC” and, together with the Financial Accounting Standard Board’s (“FASB’s”Sponsor and MasTec, Inc., the “Purchasers”), Accounting Standard Codification (ASC), Topic 606 (“Topic 606”)pursuant to which provides a comprehensive new revenue recognition guide.

On or about August 1, 2017, in the IPO, the Company sold units of the adoptionCompany’s equity securities, each such unit consisting of Topic 606.

Revenue from contractsone share of Common Stock and one-half of one Public Warrant (the “IPO Units”) and, in connection therewith, issued and delivered 15,525,000 warrants to public investors in the Offering (the “Public Warrants”) and 675,000 warrants (underlying unit purchase options) to EBC or its designees (the “EBC Warrants” and, together with customers are not recorded untilthe Private Placement Warrants and the Public Warrants, the “Warrants”). Each whole Warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one share of common stock of the Company hasfor $11.50 per share, subject to adjustments. Subsequent to the approvalComputex Closing Date and commitment fromas of September 30, 2021, 15,525,000 Public Warrants, 10,512,500 Private Placement Warrants and 675,000 EBC Warrants remained outstanding.

The Private Placement Warrants and EBC Warrants are exercisable on a cashless basis, at the parties,holder’s option, and are non-redeemable so long as they are held by the rightsinitial Purchasers or their permitted transferees. Public Warrants and any Private Placement Warrants or EBC Warrants that are transferred to nonpermitted transferees are redeemable at the option of the partiesCompany and are identified, payment terms are established,generally not exercisable on a cashless basis.

The Company evaluated the contract has commercial substanceWarrants under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 815-40, Derivatives and collectabilityHedging—Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity, and concluded that the Private Placement Warrants and the EBC Warrants do not meet the criteria to be classified in stockholders’ equity.

Revenue is recognized once control passes to the customer. The following indicators are evaluated in determining when control has passed to the customer: (i) whether the Company has a right to payment for the product or service, (ii) whether the customer has legal title to the product, (iii) whether the Company has transferred physical possession of the product to the customer, (iv) whether the customer has the significant risk and rewards of ownership of the product and (v) whether the customer has accepted the product. The Company’s products can be delivered to customers in a variety of ways, including (i) physical shipment from the Company’s warehouse, (ii) via drop-shipment by the vendor or supplier or (iii) via electronic delivery of keys for software licenses. The Company’s shipping terms typically allow for the Company to recognize revenue when the product is shipped to the customer’s location.

 

Hardware

Revenue from the sale of hardware is recognized on a gross basis, as the Company is deemed to be acting as the principal in these transactions. The selling price to the customer is recorded as revenue and the acquisition cost is recorded within cost of revenue. The Company recognizes revenue from these transactions when control has passed to the customer, which is usually upon shipment.

In some instances, the customer agrees to buy the product from the Company, but requests delivery at a later date, commonly known as a bill-and-hold arrangement. For these transactions, the Company deems that control passes to the customer when the product is ready for delivery. The Company classifies such products as products ready for delivery when the customer is in possession of a signed agreement, the significant risk and rewards for the product has passed to the customer, the customer has the ability to direct the asset, the product has been set aside specifically for the customer and the Company cannot redirect the product for the benefit of another customer.

In drop-shipment arrangements, whereby the Company arranges for the vendor to deliver the product directly to the customer without the inventory first being held at its warehouses, the Company considers itself to be the principal and therefore, recognizes the related revenue on a gross basis.

Software

Revenues from most software license sales are recognized as a single performance obligation on a net basis, as the Company is deemed to be acting as an agent in these transactions. Revenues in these instances are recognized at the point the software license is delivered to the customer. Generally, software licenses are sold with accompanying third-party delivered software support, which is a product that allows customers to upgrade, at no additional cost, to the latest technology if new capabilities are introduced during the period that the software support is in effect. The Company evaluates whether the software support is a separate performance obligation by assessing whether the third-party delivered software support is critical or essential to the core functionality of the software itself. This involves considering whether the software provides its original intended functionality to the customer without the updates, whether the customer would ascribe a higher value to the upgrades versus the up-front deliverable, whether the customer would expect frequent intelligence updates to the software (such as updates that maintain the original functionality), and whether the customer chooses to not delay or always install upgrades. If the Company determines that the accompanying third-party delivered software support is critical or essential to the core functionality of the software license, the software license and the accompanying third-party delivered software support are recognized as a single performance obligation. The value of the product is primarily based on the accompanying support delivered by a third-party, and therefore the Company is acting as an agent in these transactions and therefore, recognizes the associated revenue on a net basis at the point that the associated software license is delivered to the customer.

Third-party services

The Company is deemed to be the agent in the sale of third-party maintenance, software support and services, as the third-party controls the service until it is transferred to the customer. In these instances, the Company recognizes the revenue on a net basis equal to the selling price to the customer less the acquisition costs. Such revenue is recognized when the customer and vendor accept the terms and conditions of the arrangement.

Managed and professional services

Professional services offerings include assessments, project management, staging, configuration, and integration. Managed services offerings range from monitoring and notification to a fully outsourced network management solution. In these arrangements, the Company satisfies the performance obligations and recognizes revenue over time.

Such professional services are provided under both time and materials and fixed price contracts. When services are provided on a time and materials basis, the Company recognizes revenues at agreed-upon billing rates as services are performed. When services are provided on a fixed fee basis, the Company recognizes revenues over time in proportion to the Company’s progress towards satisfaction of the performance obligation.

In arrangements for managed services, the Company’s arrangement is typically a single performance obligation comprised of a series of distinct services that are substantially the same and that have the same pattern of transfer (i.e., distinct days of service). The Company typically recognizes revenue from these services on a straight-line basis over the period services are provided, which is consistent with the timing of services rendered.

Freight and sales tax

Freight billed to customers is included within sales on the condensed consolidated statement of operations. The related freight charged to the Company is included within cost of revenue. Sales tax collected from customers is remitted to governmental authorities on a net basis.

Contract liabilities

Contract liabilities (or deferred or unearned revenue) are recognized when cash payments are received or due in advance of the Company’s performance obligations.

Costs of obtaining and fulfilling a contract

The Company capitalizes costs that are incremental to obtaining customer contracts, predominately sales commissions. Such deferrals are then amortized to expense, in proportion to each completed contract performance obligation, on a straight-line basis over the period during which the Company fulfills its performance obligation.

Costs associated with contracts whereby the Company has an obligation to perform services, are incurred specifically to assist the Company in rendering services to its customers and are recorded as deferred customer support contract costs at the time the costs are incurred. The costs are amortized to expense on a straight-line basis over the period during which the Company fulfills its performance obligation.

Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash

The Company considers all short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. There were no cash equivalents at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019. Restricted cash consists of the balance of amounts placed in escrow at Comerica Bank in connection with the third amendment to the Credit Agreement (as defined in Note 8) to be applied to interest payments. In the event such amounts in escrow are insufficient to satisfy interest payments, such interest payments may be paid using other funds.

Trade receivables, net

Trade receivables arise from granting credit to customers in the normal course of business, are unsecured and are presented net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. The allowance is based on a number of factors, including the length of time the receivable is past due, the Company’s previous loss history, the customer’s current ability to pay, and the general condition of the economy and industry as a whole. Depending on the customer, payment is due between 30 and 60 days after the customer receives an invoice. Accounts that are more than 45 days past due are individually analyzed for collectability. When all collection efforts have been exhausted, the accounts are written off. Historically, the Company has not suffered significant losses with respect to its trade receivables.

Inventories

Inventories, which consist of purchased components for resale, are valued at the lower of average cost (which approximates the first-in, first-out method) and net realizable value. The need for an inventory obsolescence reserve is based on an evaluation of slow-moving or obsolete inventory. No obsolescence reserve was deemed necessary at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019.

Business combinations

The Company accounts for business combinations in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations. Accordingly, identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed are recorded at their estimated fair values, the excess of the purchase consideration over the fair values of net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill,the Private Placement Warrants and transaction costs are expensed as incurred.

Long-lived assets

Property and equipment are recorded at cost and presented net of accumulated depreciation. Major additions and betterments are capitalized while maintenance and repairs, which do not improve or extend the life of the respective assets, are expensed. Property and equipment are depreciated on the straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives.

Definite-lived and indefinite-lived intangible assets arising from business combinations include customer relationships, trademarks and noncompete agreements. Definite-lived intangible assets are amortized over the estimated period during which the asset is expected to contribute directly or indirectly to future cash flows. Intangible assets that are considered to be indefinite-lived are not amortized.

The Company reviews its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or circumstances exist that indicate the carrying amount of an asset or asset group may not be recoverable. The recoverability of long-lived assets is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of the asset or asset group to the future undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by that asset group. If the asset or asset group is considered to be impaired, an impairment loss would be recorded to adjust the carrying amounts to the estimated fair value. No such impairment was recorded during the periods covered by this report.

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net identifiable assets acquired in a business combination. Goodwill is reviewed for impairment at least annually, in December, or more frequently if a triggering event occurs between impairment testing dates. Currently, the Company operates as a single operating segment and as a single reporting unit for the purpose of evaluating goodwill impairment. The Company’s impairment assessment begins with a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying value. The qualitative assessment includes comparing the overall financial performance of the Company against the planned results used in the last quantitative goodwill impairment test. Additionally, the Company’s fair value is assessed in light of certain events and circumstances, including macroeconomic conditions, industry and market considerations, cost factors, and other relevant entity and Company specific events. The selection and assessment of qualitative factors used to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit exceeds the carrying value involves significant judgment and estimates. If it is determined under the qualitative assessment that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value, then a two-step quantitative impairment test is performed. Under the first step, the estimated fair value of the Company would be compared with its carrying value (including goodwill). If the fair value of the Company exceeds its carrying value, step two does not need to be performed. If the estimated fair value of the Company is less than its carrying value, an indication of goodwill impairment exists for the Company and it would need to perform step two of the impairment test. Under step two, an impairment loss would be recognized for any excess of the carrying amount of the Company’s goodwill over the implied fair value of that goodwill. Fair value of the Company under the two-step assessment isEBC Warrants were determined using a combination of both income and market-based approaches. No goodwill impairments were identified for the periods covered by this report.

Deferred financing fees and debt discount

Deferred financing fees, which are debt issuance costs that qualify for deferral in connection with the issuance of new debt or the modification of existing debt facilities, are amortized over the term of the related debt using the effective interest method (straight-line method for revolving credit arrangements). Debt discounts are also amortized using the effective interest method, unless the interest method approximates the straight-line method. Amortization of such costs are included in interest expense, while the unamortized balances of deferred financing fees and debt discount are presented as reductions of the carrying value of the related debt.

Income taxes

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method pursuant to ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes (ASC 740). Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future consequences attributable to the differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax basis of assets and liabilities. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in the period of the change. Further, deferred tax assets are recognized for the expected realization of available net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. A valuation allowance is recorded on gross deferred tax assets when it is “more likely than not” that such asset will not be realized. When evaluating the realizability of deferred tax assets, all evidence, both positive and negative, is evaluated. Items considered in this analysis include the ability to carry back losses, the reversal of temporary differences, tax planning strategies, and expectations of future earnings. The Company reviews its deferred tax assets on a quarterly basis to determine if a valuation allowance is required based upon these factors. Changes in the Company’s assessment of the need for a valuation allowance could give rise to a change in such allowance, potentially resulting in additional expense or benefit in the period of change.

The Company’s income tax provision or benefit includes U.S. federal, state and local income taxes and is based on pre-tax income or loss. In determining the annual effective income tax rate, the Company analyzed various factors, including its annual earnings and taxing jurisdictionsBlack-Scholes model in which the earningsfollowing assumptions were generated,used for the impact of state and local income taxes, and its ability to use tax credits and net operating loss carryforwards.

Under ASC 740,valuation performed during the amount of tax benefit to be recognized is the amount of benefit that is “more likely than not” to be sustained upon examination. The Company analyzes its tax filing positions in all of the U.S. federal, state, local, and foreign tax jurisdictions where it is required to file income tax returns, as well as for all open tax years in these jurisdictions. If, based on this analysis, the Company determines that uncertainties in tax positions exist, a liability is established in the condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax positions in the provision for income taxes.

The Company’s income tax returns are subject to examination by federal and state authorities in accordance with prescribed statutes.

The Company accounts for share-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”), which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense, based on estimated fair values, for share-based awards made to employees and directors. Based on the grant date fair value of the award, the Company recognizes compensation expense, over the requisite service periods on a straight-line basis, and accounts for forfeitures as they occur.

For restricted stock awards with a time-based vesting condition, the fair value, which is fixed at the grant date for purposes of recognizing compensation costs, is determined by reference to the Company’s stock price on the grant date. A portion of the Company’s restricted stock awards contains a market condition. For such restricted stock awards, the fair value is estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation model, whereby the fair value of such awards is fixed at the grant date and amortized over the shorter of the performance or service period. The Monte Carlo simulation valuation model utilizes the following assumptions: expected stock price volatility, the expected life of the awards and a risk-free interest rate. Significant judgment is required in estimating the expected volatility of our common stock. Due to the limited trading history of the Company’s common stock, estimated volatility was based on a peer group of public companies and took into consideration the increased short-term volatility in historical data due to COVID-19.

Net loss per common share

Pursuant to ASC Topic 260, Earnings Per Share, basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the reporting periods.

Diluted net loss per share is based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the periods plus the effect, if any, of the potential exercise or conversion of securities, such as warrants and restricted stock units that would cause the issuance of additional shares of common stock. In computing the basic and diluted net loss per share applicable to common stockholders during the periods listed in the condensed consolidated statements of operations, the weighted average number of shares are the same for both basic and diluted net loss per share due to the fact that when a net loss exists, dilutive shares are not included in the calculation as the impact is anti-dilutive. An anti-dilutive impact is an increase in earnings per share or a decrease in net loss per share that would result from the conversion, exercise, or issuance of certain contingent securities.

Concentration of business and credit risk

Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk, consist primarily of cash and trade receivables. Cash held by the Company, in financial institutions, regularly exceeds the federally insured limit of $250. At September 30, 2020,2021, cash balances held with a financial institution exceeded the federally insured limit. However, management does not believe this poses a significant credit risk.

Fair value of financial instruments

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities required or permitted to be recorded at fair value, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which it would transact, and it considers assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability.

ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures provides a fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. The level in the hierarchy within which the fair value measurement in its entirety falls is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement as follows:

Level 1 — inputs are based upon unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities traded in active markets.
Level 2 — inputs are based upon quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
Level 3 — inputs are generally unobservable and typically reflect management’s estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. The fair values are therefore determined using model-based techniques that include option pricing models, discounted cash flow models, and similar techniques.

Assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis include goodwill, and tangible and intangible assets. Such assets are reviewed annually for impairment indicators. If a triggering event has occurred, the assets are re-measured when the estimated fair value of the corresponding asset group is less than the carrying value. The fair value measurements, in such instances, are based on significant unobservable inputs (Level 3).

The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments, which include trade receivables, deposits, accounts payable and accrued expenses and debt at floating interest rates, approximate their fair values, at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, principally due to their short-term nature, maturities or nature of interest rates.

The fair values of the Private Placement Warrants and EBC Warrants are reflected on the condensed consolidated balance sheet as “Warrant Liabilities,” are determined using a Black-Scholes model, and are considered to be Level 2 valuations. The significant assumptions used to determine the fair value as of September 30, 2021 are disclosed above in the section titled “Public, Private Placement and EBC Warrants.”

Advertising and vendor considerationsReclassifications

 

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred.

Vendor considerations are payments and credits that the Company receives from its vendors and distributors on a quarterly basis. Such consideration includes volume-based incentives and reimbursement for marketing expenses.

Emerging growth company

The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (the “Securities Act”), as modified by the Jumpstart our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”), and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.

Further, Section 102(b) (1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. Private companies are those companies that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Securities Exchange Act.Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period, which means that when a standard is issued or revised, it adopts the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard, unless it chooses to early-adopt the new or revised accounting standard. Therefore, the Company’s financial statements may not be comparable to certain public companies.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASUAccounting Standard Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic(ASC 842), as amended by multiple updates, hereafter ASC 842. ASC 842 requires lessees to recognize, on the balance sheet, a lease liability and a lease asset for all leases, including operating leases with a lease term greater than 12 months and requires lessors to classify leases as either sales-type, direct financing or operating. ASC 842 also expands the required quantitative and qualitative disclosures surrounding leases. As long as the Company is an emerging growth company, the current effective date of adoption is fiscal year 2023, which is the required date of adoption for private companies. Early adoption is permitted. While the Company continues to assess the effects of adoption, it currently believes the most significant effects relate to the recognition, on the consolidated balance sheet, of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities related to operating leases.

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (“ASU No. 2019-12”), which simplifies the accounting for income taxes by eliminating certain exceptions to the guidance in ASC 740 related to the approach for intraperiod tax allocation, the methodology for calculating income taxes in an interim period and the recognition of deferred tax liabilities for outside basis differences.  The new guidance also simplifies aspects of the accounting for franchise taxes and enacted changes in tax laws or rates and clarifies the accounting for transactions that result in a step-up in the tax basis of goodwill. It clarifies that single-member limited liability companies and similar disregarded entities that are not subject to income tax are not required to recognize an allocation of consolidated income tax expense in their separate financial statements, but they could elect to do so.

ASU No. 2019-12 is effective for calendar-year public business entities in 2021 and interim periods within that year. For all other calendar-year entities, it is effective for annual periods beginning in 2022 and interim periods in 2023. Early adoption is permitted. ASU No. 2019-12 allows companies to treat tax law changes as intraperiod items, rather than as discrete items within the interim period.

The Company does not believe other recently issued but not yet effective accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets, statements of changes in equity, statements of operations and statements of cash flows.

Recently adopted accounting standards

Effective July 1, 2021, the Company adopted ASU No. 2017-04, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (Topic 350) Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment, which simplifies the subsequent measurement of goodwill by eliminating Step 2 of goodwill impairment tests. The adoption did not materially impact the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Recently adopted accounting standards

 

In July 2017,August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2017-11, Earnings Per Share (Topic 260), No. 2020-06, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (Topic 480Debt - Debt with Conversion and Other Options) (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815)- Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity” (“ASU No. 2020-06”) which simplifies the accounting for some financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity, including the Convertible Debentures (or Debentures, as described and defined in Note 9). The amendments in Part IASU No. 2020-06 eliminates the separation models for convertible debt with a cash conversion feature or convertible instruments with a beneficial conversion feature. In addition, with respect to convertible instruments, ASU 2020-06 requires the application of the Update change the reclassification analysis of certain equity-linked financial instruments (or embedded features) with down-round features. The amendments in Part IIif-converted method for calculating diluted earnings per share instead of the update re-characterize the indefinite deferral of certain provisions of Topic 480 that now are presented as pending content in the ASC, to a scope exception.treasury stock method. The amendments in Part I of this update wasCompany early adopted ASU No. 2020-06 effective for the Company on January 1, 2020 (the date it was effective for private companies). The amendments in Part II of the update did not require any transition guidance because those amendments did not have an accounting effect. The adoption did not have a material effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements as of the date of adoption.

The Company adopted Topic 606 with an initial application date of January 1, 2019. Topic 606 also includes Subtopic 340-40, Other Assets and Deferred Costs – Contracts with Customers, (Subtopic 340) which requires the deferral of incremental costs of obtaining a contract with a customer.

The Company applied Topic 6062021 using the modified retrospective transition method. In adoptingapproach. Upon adoption, the new standard, the net cumulative effect from prior periods of applying the guidance in Topic 606 was recognized as afollowing changes resulted:

the intrinsic value of the beneficial conversion feature recorded between April 7, 2020 and December 31, 2020 was reversed as of the effective date of adoption, thereby resulting in an increase in the Convertible Debentures, as of January 1, 2021, with an offsetting adjustment to additional paid in capital.
the discount amortization expense (included within interest expense) which was recorded between April 7, 2020 and December 31, 2020 that was related to the beneficial conversion feature was reversed against opening accumulated deficit.

The cumulative effect adjustment tothat the openingCompany recognized in the condensed consolidated balance of accumulated deficitsheet, as of January 1, 2019. Additionally,2021, as an adjustment to accumulated deficit, was $1,218 and is reflected in the Company has elected the option to only account for contracts that remained open as of the January 1, 2019 transition date in accordance with Topic 606. Revenue recognition for contracts for which substantially all of the revenue was recognized in accordance with the revenue guidance in effect before January 1, 2019 has not been changed. A summary of the significant changes and the quantitative impact of the changes as of the application date are set forth below.following table:

 

For sales transactions of certain software products that are sold with integral third-party delivered software support, the Company changed its accounting policy to record both the software license and the accompanying software support on a net basis, as the Company is considered to be the agent in the arrangement, given the predominant nature of the goods and services provided to the customer. Under previous guidance, the Company bifurcated the sale of the software license from the sale of the support contract and recorded the sale of both the software product and software support on a gross sales recognition basis. This change had no effect on reported gross profit dollars associated with these transactions.

For sales transactions for maintenance, software support and services that are to be performed by a third-party, the Company changed its accounting policy to record these sales on a net basis equal to the selling price to the customer less the acquisition cost, as the third-party controls the service. The Company recognizes revenue from these sales transactions when the customer and vendor accept the terms and conditions of the arrangement. Under previous guidance, the Company recorded the sales of third-party maintenance, software support and service contracts on a gross sales recognition basis.

The accounting for sales commissions on contracts with performance periods that exceed one year changed such that the Company records such sales commissions as an asset and recognizes the expense over the related contract performance period. Under previous guidance, certain sales commissions were expensed in the period the transaction was generated.

12. Share-Based Compensation

 

Successor

 

The American Virtual Cloud Technologies, Inc. 2020 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) provides for the issuance of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and other share-based awards. Stock options have a maximum term of ten years from the grant date.

 

As of September 30, 2020,2021, 5,794,500 shares had been authorized for issuance under the Plan, of which 2,474,500902,000 shares remained available for issuance. The RSUs were issued to certain directors and employees and can only be settled in shares. RSUs awarded to directors are time-based. RSUs issued to nondirectors are generally 50% time-based and 50% performance-based. Twenty-five percentGenerally, 25% of the time-based awards vests on each grant dategrant-date anniversary, while 25% of the performance-based awards vests on December 31st of each year, if the market condition (stock price target) is met. If the market condition attached to the performance-based awards is not met in any year, the eligibility is delayed until the market condition is met, except that the market condition must be met by December 31 2023.st of the fourth year after issuance.

 

The fair values of time-based awards are estimated by reference to the Company’s stock price and stock marketability on the grant date, while the fair values of the performance-based awards are determined using the Monte Carlo simulation model, once the stock price target is set. Weighted average assumptions used in estimating the performance-based awards were as follows: estimated expected stock price volatility - 40%; expected life of the awards - 0.68 years; risk-free interest rate – 0.19%; Significant judgment is required in estimating the expected volatility of our common stock. Due to the limited trading history of the Company’s common stock, estimated volatility was based on a peer group of public companies and took into consideration the increased short-term volatility in historical data due to COVID-19. Performance targets are set annually for the performance-based awards that are scheduled to vest in that year.

The Company’s effective income tax rate differs from the federal statutory rate primarily as a result of certain expenses being deductible for financial reporting purposes that are not deductible for tax purposes, the existence of research and development tax credits, operating loss carryforwards, and adjustments to previously recorded deferred tax assets and liabilities due to the enactment of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act in 2017.

The Company files a federal income tax return and separate income tax returns in various states. For federal and certain states, the 2017 through 2020 tax years remain open for examination by the tax authorities under the normal three-year statute of limitations.

The Company assesses available positive and negative evidence to estimate whether sufficient future taxable income will be generated to permit use of the existing deferred tax assets. A significant component of objective negative evidence identified during management’s evaluation was the cumulative loss incurred over the three-year period ended December 31, 2019.2020. Such objective evidence limits the ability to consider other subjective evidence, such as our forecasts of future taxable income and tax planning strategies. On the basis of this evaluation, as of December 31, 2019, the Company recognized a full valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets, pursuant to ASC 740, as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2019. In calculating the valuation allowance as of September 30, 2020, the Company was not permitted to use its existing deferred tax liabilities related to its indefinite-lived intangible assets as a source of taxable income to support the realization of its existing finite-lived deferred tax assets.2020. Based on the Company’s evaluation, it was determined that no uncertain tax positions existed as of September 30, 20202021 or December 31, 2019.2020.

As of September 30, 2020,2021, and through the filing date of this report, the Company does not believe the resolution of any legal proceedings or claims of which it is aware or any potential actions will have a material effect on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.


 

16. Pending Transaction

On August 5, 2020, AVCT entered into the Purchase Agreement with Ribbon, RCOCI and Ribbon Communications International Limited, pursuant to which AVCT has agreed to purchase the Kandy Business by acquiring certain assets and assuming certain liabilities and acquiring all of the outstanding interests of Kandy Communications LLC (the “Transaction”).

Under the terms of the Purchase Agreement, AVCT has agreed to issue to Ribbon 13.0 million shares of AVCT’s common stock (the “Issued Shares”), subject to certain adjustments, as consideration for the Transaction (the “Purchase Price”).

Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, AVCT is required to complete an equity offering (the “Equity Offering”) prior to, or simultaneously with, the closing of the Transaction (the “Closing”), and in the event AVCT is successful in raising at least $100.0 million in the Equity Offering, AVCT will sell additional securities in the Equity Offering resulting in proceeds in an amount up to the value of 20% of the Issued Shares being issued to Ribbon, with the value of each Issued Share being equal to (i) the value of the AVCT common stock or other securities convertible into a share of AVCT common stock that is being sold in the Equity Offering, or (ii) in the event another form of securities is being offered in the Equity Offering, or if the Equity Offering is consummated more than five days prior to the Closing, the volume weighted average price of AVCT common stock for the ten trading days immediately prior to the Closing (the equivalent shares sold, “Sold Shares”). AVCT will deliver to Ribbon, as part of the Purchase Price, the gross proceeds from the sale of additional securities in the Equity Offering in excess of $100.0 million, in lieu of the Sold Shares at the Closing. In the event that AVCT’s Pro Forma Total Enterprise Value (as defined in the Purchase Agreement), after taking into account the Equity Offering proceeds, would be below $275.0 million, AVCT and Ribbon have agreed to negotiate a potential change in the number of Issued Shares. If an agreement cannot be reached on any change in the number of Issued Shares, AVCT will not proceed with the Equity Offering.

17. Subsequent Events

The Company evaluates subsequent events and transactions that occur after the balance sheet date up to the date that the condensed consolidated financial statements are issued.

 

On November 2, 2021, the Company announced that it had signed a definitive agreement for a registered direct offering with an institutional investor of 2,500,000 shares (the “Registered Shares”) of its common stock at a purchase price of $2.00 per share and a warrant (the “Series B Warrant”) to purchase an additional 2,500,000 shares of common stock, for total gross proceeds of $5,000, before payment of commissions and expenses. The Company will receive an additional $5,000 in gross proceeds if the Series B Warrant is exercised in full. The Series B Warrant has an exercise price of $2.00 per share, is exercisable on the date of issuance and expires two years from the date of issuance. Commencing ten trading days after the issuance of the Series B Warrant, the Company may force the investor to exercise its Series B Warrant in the event shares of the Company’s common stock trade at or above $2.40/share for a period of 5 consecutive trading days, subject to certain conditions, including equity conditions.

In a concurrent private placement, the institutional investor received from the Company an unregistered warrant (the “Series A Warrant”) to purchase, initially, an additional 2,500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. In addition, for each share of common stock purchased by the institutional investor upon the exercise of the Series B Warrant, the Series B Warrant will become exercisable to purchase one additional share of common stock.

The Series A Warrant has an exercise price of $2.00 per share, is exercisable on the date of issuance, and expires five years from the date of issuance.

The consummation of the issuance and sale of the Registered Shares, the Series B Warrant and the Series A Warrant occurred on November 5, 2021. The Company plans to use the net proceeds of approximately $4,500 from the offering for reduction of debt and working capital. Northland Capital Markets served as sole placement agent in the transaction. The offering of the Registered Shares and the Series B Warrant (and underlying shares of common stock) was made pursuant to an effective shelf registration statement on Form S-3 previously filed with the SEC.

Other than the Fifth Amendment to the Credit Agreement that isas disclosed in Note 8,this note and as may be disclosed elsewhere in the accompanying notes, there were no subsequent events that required adjustment or disclosure in the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Overview

We are a Delaware-incorporated entity with operating locations in Minnesota, Michigan, Florida, Texas, Ottawa, North Carolina and Texas.Mexico City.

On April 7, 2020, (the “Closing Date”), AVCT (formerly known as Pensare Acquisition Corp.), consummated a business combination transaction (the “Business Combination”“Computex Business Combination“) in which it acquired Stratos Management Systems, Inc. (“Computex”), a private operating company that does business as Computex Technology Solutions. In connection with the closing of theComputex Business Combination, the Company changed its name to American Virtual Cloud Technologies, Inc.

On December 1, 2020, we acquired the Kandy Communications business (“Kandy”) from Ribbon Communications, Inc. and certain of its affiliates (“Ribbon”), by acquiring certain assets, assuming certain liabilities and acquiring all of the outstanding interests of Kandy Communications LLC.

Computex is a leading multi-brand technology solutions provider to large global customers, providing a comprehensive and integrated set of technology solutions, through its extensive hardware, software and value-added service offerings. Computex designs best-fit solutions, and with the help of leading vendors in the industry, helps its customers with the procurement of suitable hardware and software that are appropriate for their specific needs. With primary operating locations in Minnesota, Michigan, Florida and Texas, services offered by Computex include directory and messaging, enterprise networking, cybersecurity, collaboration, data center services, integration, storage, backup, virtualization, converged infrastructures and unified communications-as-a-service (“UCaaS”).

Kandy, a provider of cloud-based enterprise services, globally deploys a white-label, carrier-grade cloud-based platform for UCaaS, communications platform as a service (“CPaaS”) and contact center as a service (“CCaaS”) for mid-market and enterprise customers across a proprietary multi-tenant, highly scalable cloud platform. The Kandy platform also includes pre-built customer engagement tools, based on web real-time communication technology (“WebRTC technology”), known as Kandy Wrappers, and provides white-labeled services to a variety of customers including communications service providers and systems integrators. With Kandy, companies can quickly embed real-time communications capabilities into their existing applications and business processes.


 

Recent development

On September 16, 2021, the Company issued a press release announcing that as a result of a decision by the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) to explore strategic alternatives previously announced on April 7, 2021, the Board had authorized the Company to focus its strategy on acquisitions and organic growth in its cloud technologies business as well as to explore strategic opportunities for its IT solutions business, including the planned divestiture of Computex. The Company believes that the change will allow it to optimize resource allocation, focus on core competencies, and improve its ability to invest in areas of maximal growth potential. Proceeds from any potential sale transaction are expected to be used to further deleverage the balance sheet and provide working capital.

Computex was not classified as held for sale as of September 30, 2021 as the criteria for the reporting unit to be classified as held for sale were not met as of September 30, 2021. However, in connection with the potential sale of Computex, the Company compared the expected proceeds less costs to sell with the carrying value of the reporting unit and in connection therewith recorded a noncash goodwill impairment charge of $20,500 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021.

Growth strategy

The acquisition of Kandy has given us the opportunity to provide a full suite of UCaaS, CPaaS, and CCaaS products to serve the rapidly growing cloud communications market.  Customers today demand a highly reliable, secure, and scalable communications platform along with a world class customer experience.

With demand for cloud technology increasing, we believe that the already sizable total addressable market (“TAM”) for cloud communications is on track to continue to expand and we believe that we are positioned to monetize mega trends in enterprise cloud communications, gain market share as a premier white-label cloud communications provider, checking the CPaaS, CCaaS & UCaaS boxes, while also capitalizing on our direct to enterprise capabilities (for example, Tier 1 support) to sell through our partners or sell directly.

Certain areas of our growth plan, which also includes continued investment in research and development, are as follows:

Channel (white label) - Target technology providers, such as Service Providers (SPs), Resellers, Independent Software Vendors (ISVs), and System Integrators (SIs) through:

oStrategic Alliances with companies looking to co-invest to monetize cloud communication technology; and
oOur partners that are looking to white label or resell cloud technologies, which we believe offer significant opportunity to grow revenue with existing partners while identifying new ones.

Direct to Enterprise - Target enterprises looking to deploy their own cloud technology using APIs/SDKs (application programming interface/software development kit) and/or looking to enable cloud communications to support their business and customer communications and interactions either:

oOrganically - By targeting select vertical markets with high growth potential for example, government, retail, financial, & healthcare; or
oInorganically - By making selective acquisitions to expand the use of the Kandy platform.

Key trends affecting our results of operations

The following are key trends that we believe can positively impact our results of operations:

The acceleration of digital transformation

The change in how people work, including the “work from anywhere” mindset

The increased complexity in mid & large enterprises and the desire by enterprises for integrated internal and external communications for UCaaS, CPaaS and CCaaS

The demand for services similar to WebEx, Teams, & Zoom and partners that can add to and/or complement such tools and players

The trend towards CPaaS technology – Product developers & Independent Software Vendors (ISVs) are increasingly seen as the influencers

The general trend towards movement to the cloud

The lack of sufficient internal IT resources at mid-sized and large enterprises, and the scarcity of IT personnel in certain high-demand disciplines
Disruptive technologies that are creating complexity and challenges for customers and vendors
The recognition that certain IT services provide the opportunity of funding via recurring payments over a period of time, rather than large upfront payments
The increasing use of multi-cloud strategies, whereby cloud architectures and cloud-enabled frameworks, whether public, private, or hybrid, provide the core foundation of modern IT
The explosive growth in remote workforce needs.


Covid-19

The novel strain of coronavirus (“COVID-19”) continues to significantly impact local, regional, and global economies, businesses, supply chains, production and sales across a range of industries. The extent of its impact on our operational and financial performance is uncertain and difficult to predict and we remain cautious about the global recovery. To protect the health and safety of our employees, our daily execution has evolved into a largely virtual model. However, we have found ways to continue to engage with and assist our customers and partners as they work to navigate the current environment. We will continue to monitor the current environment and may take further actions that may be required by federal, state or local authorities or that we determine to be in the interests of our employees, customers, and partners.

These solutions are used by customers to optimize investments in IT infrastructure and data centers.

Cloud subscription and software revenue include subscriptions to the Company’s cloud-based technology platform.

Financial statement presentation and results of operations

The condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company include the accounts of AVCT and its wholly owned subsidiary, Computex. Thewholly-owned subsidiaries. As discussed in Note 3 of the condensed consolidated financial statements, the financial position, results of operations and cash flows described herein for the dates and periods prior to April 7, 2020 relate to the operations of Computex. The historical financial information of AVCT prior to the business combinationComputex Business Combination (a special purpose acquisition company, or “SPAC”) has not been reflected in the Predecessor financial statements as these historical amounts have been determined to be not useful information to a user of the financial statements.

We are a leading multi-brand technology solutions provider to large global customers, providing a comprehensive and integrated set of technology solutions to our customers, through our extensive hardware, software and value-added service offerings. The breadth of our offerings enables us to offer each customer a complete technology solution. After performing an assessment of our customers’ needs, we design best-fit solutions, and with the help of leading vendors in the industry, we help our customers to procure products that fit their global needs.


Covid-19

Commencing in December 2019, COVID-19 began spreading throughout the world, including the first outbreak in the US in February 2020. On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a global pandemic and recommended containment and mitigation measures worldwide. COVID-19 has disrupted and continues to significantly disrupt local, regional, and global economies and businesses. The COVID-19 outbreak is disrupting supply chains and affecting production and sales across a range of industries. The extent of the impact of COVID-19 on our operational and financial performance will depend on certain developments, including the duration and spread of the outbreak, impact on our customers, employees and vendors, all of which are uncertain and cannot be predicted. At this point, the extent to which COVID-19 may impact our financial condition and/or results of operations is uncertain.

In response to COVID-19, we have put into place certain restrictions, requirements and guidelines, to protect the health of our employees and clients, including requiring certain conditions to be met before employees return to the Company’s offices. Also, to protect the health and safety of our employees, our daily execution has evolved into a largely virtual model and we continue to endeavor to find innovative ways to engage with customers and prospects as we, our customers and prospects endeavor to navigate the current environment.  Between April 1, 2020 and September 1, 2020, Computex reduced the salaries of its employees and we are endeavoring to reduce other operating expenses. We plan to continue to monitor the current environment and may take further actions that may be required by federal, state or local authorities or that we determine are in the interests of our employees, customers, and partners.

Our business

Our hardware offerings are sourced from a network of leading manufacturers, and include, data storage, desktops, servers, and other hardware.

Our software and maintenance offerings include licensing, licensing management, software solutions and other services. We offer a full suite of value-added services, which typically are delivered as part of a complete technology solution, to help our customers meet their specific needs. Our solutions range from configuration services for computer devices to fully integrated solutions such as virtualization, collaboration, security, mobility, data center optimization and cloud computing. We also offer complementary services including installations, warranty services and certain managed services such as remote network and data center monitoring. We believe our software and service offerings are important growth areas for us.

Our professional and managed services include managed IT services, virtualization, storage, networking and data center services. As part of these services, we offer customized solutions for business continuity, back-up and recovery, capacity on-demand, regulatory compliance and data center best practice methodologies as well as infrastructure as a service (“IaaS”) and software as a service (“SaaS”). Our customers utilize our solutions to optimize their current and planned investments in IT infrastructure and data centers. We believe the breadth of our service offering and our consultative approach to working with our clients distinguishes us from other providers.

In addition, we believe our business is well-diversified across verticals, technology solutions offerings and procurement partners from whom we procure products and software for resale. Our sales teams consist of seasoned account executives and regionally focused sales support teams who work within assigned territories to provide customized solutions to our customers. Our sales teams are supported by industry leading technologists who design end to end solutions and who take projects from design, to implementation, to management. We boast an extensive network of OEMs and distributors which allow us to direct-sell a diverse selection of products and software to our ever-growing customer base, as packaged software or as licensed products and services.

We have developed an infrastructure that enables us to deliver our IT solutions and service agnostic as to technology platform and location through a flexible, customer-focused delivery model which spans three datacenter environments (customer-owned, co-location, and the cloud). By optimizing our customers’ use of secure, energy efficient and reliable data centers combined with a comprehensive suite of related IT infrastructure services, we are able to offer our customers highly customized solutions to address their needs for data center availability, data management, data security, business continuity disaster recovery and data center consolidation, as well as a variety of other related managed services.


Key trends affecting our results of operations

The following are key trends that we believe can impact our results of operations:

Increasing need for third-party services. We believe that customers are relying on third-party service providers, such as Computex Technology Solutions, to manage significant aspects of their IT environment, from design, to implementation, to pre- and post-sales support, to maintenance, engineering, cloud management, security operations, and other services.

Reduction in the number of IT solutions providers. Our view is that customers are seeking to reduce the number of solutions providers they do business with to improve supply chain and internal efficiencies, enhance accountability, improve supplier management practices, and reduce costs. As a result, customers are looking to find IT solutions providers that can provide a whole suite of solutions to meet their IT needs.

Lack of sufficient internal IT resources at mid-sized and large enterprises, and scarcity of IT personnel in certain high-demand disciplines. We believe that IT departments at mid-sized and large enterprises are facing pressure to deliver emerging technologies and business outcomes but lack the properly trained staff and the ability to hire personnel with high in-demand disciplines such as security and data analytics. At the same time, the prevalence of security threats; increased use of cloud computing, software-defined networking, new architectures, and rapid software development frameworks; the proliferation of mobile devices and bring-your-own-device (BYOD) policies; and the complexity of multi-vendor solutions, have made it difficult for these departments to implement high-quality IT solutions.

Disruptive technologies are creating complexity and challenges for customers and vendors. The rapid evolution of disruptive technologies, and the speed by which they impact an organization’s technology platforms, has made it difficult for customers to effectively design, procure, implement and manage their own IT systems. Moreover, increased budget pressures, fewer internal resources, a fragmented vendor landscape and fast time-to-value expectations make it challenging for customers to design, implement and manage, efficient, secure and cost-effective IT environments. Customers are increasingly turning to IT solutions providers such as Computex Technology Solutions to implement complex IT offerings, including software defined infrastructure, cloud computing, converged and hyper-converged infrastructures, big data analytics, and flash storage.

Increasing sophistication and incidences of IT security breaches and cyber-attacks. In recent years, cyber-attacks have become more sophisticated, numerous, and pervasive. Organizations are finding it increasingly difficult to effectively safeguard their confidential and personal information from a constant stream of advanced threats, both internal and external. Moreover, cyber-threats have shifted from uncoordinated individual efforts to highly coordinated and well-funded attacks by criminal organizations and nation-state actors. For most organizations, it is no longer a matter of “if a cyber-attack will occur;” the question is “when” and “what impact will it have” on the organization. We believe our customers are focused on all aspects of cyber security, including information and physical security, intellectual property, and compliance requirements related to industry and government regulations. To meet current and future security threats, enterprises must implement security controls and technology solutions that leverage integrated services and products to help monitor, mitigate, and remediate security threats and attacks.

Customer IT decision-making is shifting from IT departments to line-of-business personnel. As IT consumption shifts from legacy, on-premise infrastructure to agile “on-demand” and “as-a-service” solutions, customer procurement decisions are shifting from traditional IT personnel to lines-of-business personnel, which is changing the customer engagement model and types of consultative services required to fulfill the needs of customers. In addition, many such services create recurring revenue streams paid for over a period of time, rather than paid for upfront.


Multi-Cloud Strategy. Over the past several years, cloud architectures and cloud-enabled frameworks, whether public, private, or hybrid, have become the core foundation of modern IT. In order to take advantage of this trend, we focus on assisting our customers with their assessment, definition, deployment, and management of private and hybrid clouds that align with their business needs. This strategy leverages our strength in deploying private clouds, while also incorporating elements of the public cloud. By assessing our client’s applications, workloads and business requirements, among others, we are able to deploy solutions that leverage the best available technology platforms and consumption models. For example, we may build a private cloud solution to host mission critical applications, while utilizing a public cloud solution for development, collaboration, or disaster recovery. Our cloud strategy is tightly aligned with key strategic initiatives, including security, and digital workspace.

Results of operations

To distinguish between the different bases of accounting due to the Computex Business Combination that occurred on April 7, 2020, thecertain tables below separate the Company’s results usingin this quarterly report include a black line presentation that separates:blackline between certain columns to separate: (1) the periods prior to the closing date of April 7, 2020 (“Predecessor”) and (2) the period that started on April 7, 2020 (“Successor”). We refer to the periods before April 7, 2020 as the “Predecessor” periods and refer to the periods that started on April 7, 2020 as the “Successor” periods.

As discussed more fully above, the historical financial information of AVCT prior to the Business Combination (a SPAC) has not been reflected in the Predecessor financial statements as these historical amounts have been determined not to be useful information to a user of the financial statements. Accordingly, all activity reported for periods prior to April 7, 2020 (the Predecessor period) reflect only the operations of Computex. As a result, the financial results of the Successor and Predecessor entities, presented herein are expected to be largely consistent, excluding any impact of the Business Combination.

For the reasons discussed above, management believes it remains useful to review the operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 20202021 with the operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019.2020. Accordingly, in the discussion below, for purposes of a year-to-date (YTD) comparison, the financial information for the period January 1, 2020 through April 6, 2020 is combined with the financial information for the period April 7, 2020 through September 30, 2020 and, together, is referred to as the “S/P combined YTD period ended September 30, 2020.” Accordingly, in addition to presenting our results of operations in our condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP, the tables and certain discussions below present the non-GAAP combined results for the nine months ended September 30, 2020.

We attribute the decrease to the normalization of demand for equipment that were in higher demand in 2020 and early 2021 due to COVID-19, as well as to the negative impact of product-related order backlog at our Computex subsidiary. The margin on hardware revenue was 22.2%, a 130-basis points increase compared with $12.2the 20.9% recorded in the 3rd quarter of 2020. We attribute the basis points increase to a more favorable price structure in the 3rd quarter of 2021.

Third party software and maintenance revenue

Revenues from third party software and maintenance, which are recorded net of direct expenses, was $2.1 million in the 3rd quarter of 2019,2021 compared to $1.2 million in the 3rd quarter of 2020, an increase of $0.9 million or 73.0%. We attribute the increase to continued customer penetration in the retail and hospitality sector. Since this revenue is recorded net, the revenue is also the gross margin.


Managed and professional services revenue

Primarily as a result of the Kandy acquisition, managed and professional services revenues increased 5.1% or $0.4 million to $8.6 million in the 3rd quarter of 2021 compared with the $8.2 million that was recorded in the 3rd quarter of 2020. Of the total managed and professional services revenue generated by the Company in the 3rd quarter of 2021, approximately 93.3% or $8.0 million, was generated by the Computex segment, while $0.6 million was generated by our Kandy segment. Compared to 3rd quarter 2020, managed and professional services revenue for our Computex segment was relatively flat, while the margin decreased from 34.8% in the 3rd quarter of 2020 to 28.4% in the 3rd quarter of 2021, a 640-basis points decrease. We attribute this decrease to increased investments in direct labor and software tools to support an increasing customer base as well as to the normalization of demand for certain services that were in higher demand in 2020 due to Covid-19.

Cloud subscription and software revenue

Cloud subscription and software revenue was $3.6 million in the 3rd quarter of 2021 and represents revenue from subscriptions to the Company’s cloud-based technology platform as well as revenue from the Company’s on-premise software, both of which are offered by the Company’s recently-acquired Kandy segment, which the Company acquired in December 2020.

Other revenue

Other revenue, which consists primarily of freight and reimbursables, including travel, meals and entertainment, was $0.2 million and $0.1 million for the 3rd quarter of 2021 and the 3rd quarter of 2020, respectively. By its nature, this type of revenue fluctuates depending on the revenue of the other product lines.

Total revenue, cost of revenue and gross margin

Aggregate revenue for the five product lines together was $27.5 million in the 3rd quarter of 2021, an increase of $1.5 million, or 5.9%, from the $26.0 million recorded in the 3rd quarter of 2020. The increase was due to the Kandy acquisition, partially offset by a decrease in total revenue at our Computex segment. The Kandy segment generated revenue of $4.1 million in the 3rd quarter of 2021. Revenues from the Computex segment decreased $2.6 million or 10.0%. Factors causing the decrease in revenue at our Computex segment are discussed above.

Aggregate gross profit was $7.2 million in the 3rd quarter of 2021 compared with $7.5 million in the 3rd quarter of 2020, a decrease of $0.3 million, or 3.9%, primarily due to a gross profit decrease at our Computex segment, which recorded a decrease of $0.2 million. Aggregate gross profit was negatively impacted by lower gross profit on managed and professional services as well as a lower gross profit on hardware revenue, which were partially offset by an increase in the gross profit on software and maintenance revenue.

Aggregate gross margin percent decreased 270 basis points from 29.0% in the 3rd quarter of 2020 to 26.3% in the 3rd quarter of 2021, due primarily to the impact of the Kandy acquisition. Gross margin for our Computex segment in the 3rd quarter of 2021 was 31.4%, a 240-basis point increase from the 29.0% recorded in the 3rd quarter of 2020, primarily as a result of improved margins on software and maintenance revenue and on hardware revenue. Though the Kandy segment contributed revenues of $4.1 million in the quarter, the revenue was exceeded by direct expenses as the Company continues to ramp up costs in the segment as part of its strategic investment in the Kandy segment.

Goodwill impairment

The noncash goodwill impairment charge recorded during the 3rd quarter of 2021 is discussed in Note 1 of the condensed consolidated financial statements and relates to goodwill of the Computex reporting unit. In connection with the potential sale of Computex, the Company compared the expected proceeds less costs to sell with the carrying value of the reporting unit and in connection therewith recorded a noncash goodwill impairment charge of $20,500 during the quarter.

Research and development

The Company began recognizing research and development expenses when it acquired Kandy in December 2020. In the 3rd quarter of 2021, research and development expenses were $4.5 million and represent research and development costs related to certain proprietary software incurred in an agile software environment with releases broken down into several iterations called sprints involving short cycles of development (typically 4-6 weeks in duration) in which the research and development teams create potentially shippable products. Currently, such costs are expensed as incurred, and include personnel-related costs, depreciation related to engineering and test equipment, allocated costs of facilities and information technology, outside services and consultants, supplies, software tools and product certification.

  $20,099  $9,929  $10,170 

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $10.2 million, primarily as a result of added expenses related to the Kandy acquisition ($4.2 million of the increase), certain termination expenses recorded in the 3rd quarter of 2021 and increased stock compensation expenses. The termination expenses, which were approximately $3.1 million (excluding stock compensation expenses related to the termination), were primarily recorded in July 2021 and were primarily due to a reduction in the Company’s corporate workforce. Stock compensation expenses increased approximately $2.1 million in the 3rd quarter of 2021 compared with the 3rd quarter of 2020 due to certain amounts related to the terminations discussed previously as well as to an increase in the number of awardees.

Gain on extinguishment of debt

The gain on extinguishment of debt of $4.2 million in the 3rd quarter of 2021 was due to the forgiveness, in July 2021, of a PPP loan plus related accrued interest. Under the terms of the CARES Act, PPP loan recipients had the option to apply for forgiveness for all or 35.1%a portion of such loans, if the loan was used for eligible purposes, including to fund payroll costs.

Change in fair value of warrant liabilities

The change in the fair value of warrant liabilities in the 3rd quarter of 2021 and 2020 represent mark-to-market fair value adjustments related to certain warrants issued in connection with the IPO in 2017. Such changes primarily result from changes in the Company’s stock price.

Interest expense

Interest expense in the 3rd quarter of 2021 increased compared with the 3rd quarter of 2020, due in part to an increase in interest on Debentures due to new issuances as well as to the compounding effect of paid-in-kind interest. The Debentures were converted to common stock during the 3rd quarter of 2021 (on September 8, 2021), but prior to conversion, bore interest at the rate of 10.00% per annum compounded quarterly.

We attribute this increase to the impact of COVID-19 due to increased demand for equipment in the manufacturing, logistics and public sectors in the earlier part of 2021, as more customers transitioned to remote work. The increase inThere was some normalization of the demand for hardware revenue was partially offset by the negative impact of a sales force transition. Though our hardware revenue was up in the 3rd quarter of 2020 compared with2021, however, the positive impact of the higher demand in the earlier part of 2021 more than offset the impact that the flattening of hardware demand in the 3rd quarter of 2019,2021 had on the YTD period ended September 30, 2021. The gross margin on hardware revenue was relatively flat as both quarters reflect management’s actions21.9% for the YTD period ended September 30, 2021, an 80-basis points decrease from the 22.7% recorded in the S/P Combined YTD period ended September 30, 2020.

Similar to the quarter of 2019. Sinceover quarter increase, we attribute this increase to continued customer penetration in the retail and hospitality sector. As previously mentioned, since this revenue is recorded net, the revenue is also the gross margin. We attribute the decrease to a shift in customers’ IT spend towards mobile computing equipment and other mobile computing services as a result of increased telecommuting arrangements in response to COVID-19.

Net loss

Net loss for the S/P Combined YTD period ended September 30, 2020 was $10.1 million compared to $2.7 million for the YTD period ended September 30, 2019. Discussed below are the revenue and expense factors that primarily contributed to the YTD change in the net loss between the two periods.


Hardware revenue

Hardware revenue decreased 7.9%, from $40.6 million in the YTD period ended September 30, 2019 to $37.5 million in the S/P Combined YTD period ended September 30, 2020. Though our hardware revenue was down, the margin was up 350 basis points in the S/P Combined YTD period ended September 30, 2020 compared with the YTD period ended September 30, 2019. We attribute the decrease in hardware revenue to reduced demand in the energy sector, related to COVID-19Date and the negative impact of a sales force transition, partially offset by increased demand in the manufacturing, logistics and public sector, also related to COVID-19 as more customers transitioned to remote work. We attribute the increase in margin to actions by the Company, beginning in the 3rd quarter of 2019, to deliver improved margins.Kandy Closing Date.

Software and maintenance revenue

 

Revenue from software and maintenance services was down $0.3 million, or 5.7% in the YTD periods for the same reason discussed in the quarter over quarter comparison. As discussed above, since this revenue is reported net, the revenue is also the margin.

Managed and professional services revenue

Managed and professional services revenues was up 7.4%, or $1.5 million in the S/P Combined YTD period ended September 30, 2020, increasing to $22.1 million from $20.6 million in the YTD period ended September 30, 2019. The margin on our services revenue for the S/P Combined YTD period ended September 30, 2020 was up 440 basis points compared to the YTD period ended September 30, 2019 due to the same reason discussed in the quarter over quarter comparison.

Other revenue

Other revenue was relatively flat at $0.4 million and $0.5 million in the S/P Combined YTD period ended September 30, 2020 and the YTD period ended September 30, 2019, respectively. The nature of other revenue is discussed in the quarter over quarter comparison section above.

Total revenue, cost of revenue and gross margin

Aggregate revenue for the four product lines together was $64.1 million in the S/P Combined YTD period ended September 30, 2020 compared to $66.2 million in the YTD period ended September 30, 2019, a decrease of $2.1 million, or 3.1%. Though aggregate revenues were down, overall gross profit increased 9.4% and gross margin was up 360 basis points as cost of revenue decreased 8.0%.

Selling, general and administrative expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses (including transaction costs) for the S/P Combined YTD period ended September 30, 2020 and the YTD period ended September 30, 2019, consisted of the components in the following table (in thousands), and increased 24.8% primarily as a result of the same factors discussed in the quarter over quarter discussion.

Interest expense

Interest expense increased in the S/P Combined YTD period ended September 30, 2020, compared with the YTD period ended September 30, 2019, for the same primary reasons discussed above in the quarter over quarter discussion.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview

OurHistorically, the Company’s primary sources of liquidity are funds generatedhave been cash and cash equivalents, cash flows from operations (when available) and cash flows from financing activities, including funding under ourits Credit Agreement which have been sufficient to meet our working capital(defined and substantially all our capital expenditure requirements. The Credit Agreement, which is more fully discussed in Note 8 of the condensed consolidated financial statements,statements). From time to time, the Company may also choose to access the debt and equity markets to fund acquisitions, fund working capital and to diversify its capital sources. The Company’s current principal capital requirements are to fund working capital, fund capital expenditures and make investments that are in line with its business strategy.

On September 30, 2021, the Company had unrestricted cash of $4.2 million in its operating bank account and, as of October 1, 2021, had availability under its line of credit of $4.2 million. Current liabilities exceeded current assets by $26.6 million primarily as a result of the classification of certain debt as current, specifically, the components of the Credit Agreement and all promissory notes.

The Credit Agreement, as amended, matures on June 30,December 31, 2021, and, as amended,of September 30, 2021, provides for maximum borrowings of $16.5$13.0 million on the revolving noteline of credit portion with a scheduled reductionreductions of $3.5$1.0 million in availability underon October 1, 2021, November 1, 2021 and December 1, 2021, which can be impacted by the revolving noteborrowing base as, based on a ninth amendment entered into on November, 1, 2021, such availability is the lower of April 1, 2021.such amounts and the borrowing base. The borrowing base is determined weekly and is primarily based on certain percentages of accounts receivable and inventory. As amended, the Credit Agreement provides for a minimum monthly liquidity (defined as unrestricted cash plus availability under the revolving note)line of credit) of $3.0 million commencing January 31, 2021. In connection with an amendment on November 13, 2020,million. As amended, the CompanyCredit Agreement limits unfinanced capital expenditures to $3.0 million. As of October 1, 2021, maximum borrowings under the line of credit were $12,000, of which $4,183 was required to make a one-time principal payment of $0.3 million on the term loan. Availability on the revolving note is determined weekly, based on a weekly borrowing base computation that is primarily based on certain percentages of accounts receivable and inventory. available.

As of September 30, 2020,2021, amounts outstanding under the term loan and revolving notethe line of credit with Comerica Bank were $6.4$3.2 million and $8.5$8.8 million, respectively. Principal payments of $1.6 million and $0.8 million are due in November and December, respectively on the term loan plus accrued interest. See Note 8 for a more detailed discussion of the Credit Agreement.

On or before the maturity date of the Credit Agreement, we planthe Company expects to seek to either negotiate an extension of the Credit Agreement or enter into a new agreement with another lender. However, there can be no assurance that financing will be availableIn addition to 43,778 units of securities of the Company (as described in Note 9 to the amounts we require or on terms acceptableaccompanying condensed consolidated financial statements, “Units”), issued to us, if at all. UnrestrictedRibbon as consideration for Kandy, in December 2020, the Company raised additional capital of $11.0 million via the sale of Units consisting of Debentures and restricted cash on hand was approximately $3.7 millionwarrants, and, $0.7 million atduring the nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively. We may also seek2021 (all prior to access the debt and equity markets3rd quarter), raised an additional $24.0 million through the sale of additional Units, which was used to fund acquisitions and/or pursue largeexpansion, capital expenditure projects orexpenditures and working capital. See Note 9 to reduce our costthe condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information. Pursuant to the terms of capital.the Debentures, on September 8, 2021, the Debentures with related accrued interest were converted to shares of common stock.


 


In April 2020, we receivedJuly 2021, the Company’s application for forgiveness of a PPP loan of $4,135. The PPP loan is administered by the SBA.$4.1 million was approved. Under the terms of the CARES Act, PPP loan recipients canhad the option to apply for and be granted forgiveness for all or a portion of such loans, after eight weeks, if the loan iswas used for eligible purposes, including to fund payroll costs, mortgage interest, rent and/or utility costs,costs.

Also in July 2021, the Company filed a registration statement on Form S-3 containing the following two prospectuses:

a base prospectus for the sale and issuance by us of up to $100 million of our common stock, preferred stock, warrants, subscriptions rights, debt securities and/or units; and
a resale prospectus covering the resale by certain selling stockholders of up to 67,797,774 shares of common stock.

On September 16, 2021, the Company borrowed $5.0 million under a subordinated promissory note (the “2021 Note”), which is secured by a shareholder that owns more than five percent of the Company’s shares. The 2021 Note matures on the earliest of (a) September 16, 2022, (b) the Company’s consummation of a debt financing resulting in the receipt of gross proceeds of not less than $20.0 million, (c) the Company’s consummation of primary sales of registered equity securities resulting in receipt of gross proceeds of not less than $20.0 million, (d) the Company’s consummation of the sale of Computex and meet certain other requirements, including,(e) the maintenancedate of employment and compensation levels. We believe that we have used the entire PPP Loan for qualifying expenses and expectany event of default. The 2021 Note is subordinate to qualify for full or partial forgivenessany amounts owed under the program.Credit Agreement and has a minimum return of 25% over the applicable period.

On November 2, 2021, the Company announced that it had signed a definitive agreement for a registered direct offering with an institutional investor of 2,500,000 shares (the “Registered Shares”) of its common stock at a purchase price of $2.00 per share and a warrant (the “Series B Warrant”) to purchase an additional 2,500,000 shares of common stock, for total gross proceeds of $5.0 million, before payment of commissions and expenses. The Company will receive an additional $5.0 million in gross proceeds if the Series B Warrant is exercised in full. The Series B Warrant has an exercise price of $2.00 per share, is exercisable on the date of issuance and expires two years from the date of issuance. Commencing ten trading days after the issuance of the Series B Warrant, the Company may force the investor to exercise its Series B Warrant in the event shares of the Company’s common stock trade at or above $2.40/share for a period of 5 consecutive trading days, subject to certain conditions, including equity conditions.
 

In a concurrent private placement, the institutional investor received from the Company an unregistered warrant (the “Series A Warrant”) to purchase, initially, an additional 2,500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. In addition, for each share of common stock purchased by the institutional investor upon the exercise of the Series B Warrant, the Series B Warrant will become exercisable to purchase one additional share of common stock.

The Series A Warrant has an exercise price of $2.00 per share, is exercisable on the date of issuance, and expires five years from the date of issuance.

The Company plans to use the net proceeds of approximately $4.5 million from the offering for reduction of debt and working capital.

As COVID-19 continues to negatively impact global supply chains, revenues and liquidity at our Computex subsidiary have been negatively impacted. The current computer chip and other component shortages, along with elongated product shipping transit times have caused an increase in product-related order backlog at Computex, increasing from a typical product-related order backlog of approximately $6.8 million as of December 31, 2020 to approximately $16.0 million as of September 30, 2021. Computex primarily sources its products from distributors who generally consider backlogged orders outstanding when computing the subsidiary’s credit limit usage. Hence, higher backlog orders negatively impact such credit limit usage and therefore negatively impact the subsidiary’s cash flows.

Whereas the Company continues to analyze its liquidity to ensure that it is able to execute on its operational plan, it expects that cash anticipated to be generated from future operations, as well as borrowings from lending and project financing sources and proceeds from equity and debt offerings will provide sufficient liquidity to fund operations for at least one year after the date the financial statements are issued. However, weif the Company is unable to achieve its forecasts, fails to meet any of the financial covenants in the Credit Agreement and is unable to obtain a waiver or an amendment under the Credit Agreement to allow it to continue to borrow, is unable to extend or refinance its existing Credit Agreement, or is unable to raise additional equity or debt capital, the Company may need to pursue one or more alternatives, such as to reduce or delay investments in its business, or seek additional financing. The Company can provide no assurance that wefuture funding will obtain forgiveness for any portion.be available if and when required or that such funding will be available on terms that it finds acceptable. Any projection is based on the Company’s current expectations regarding new project financing and product sales and service, cost structure, cash burn rate and other operating assumptions.

Critical Accounting Policies, Judgements and Estimates

 

This discussionExcept for the adoption of critical accounting policies, judgments and estimates should be readASU No. 2020-06, which is discussed in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements and other disclosures included elsewhere in this quarterly report. The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and income and expenses during the periods reported. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. We believe the accounting policies that involve the most significant judgments and estimates used in the preparationNote 4 of the condensed consolidated financial statements, includethere were no significant changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates from those relating to revenue recognition, accounting for income taxes, accounting for business combinations, the recognition and impairment evaluation relating to tangible and intangible assets, including goodwill, and accounting for share-based compensation. We discuss some of these policies below. The ones not discussed below are discussed in Note 3 of the condensed consolidated financial statements. Additional discussions regarding the ones discussed below are also included in Note 3.

Revenue recognition

Revenue from contracts with customers are not recorded until the Company has the approval and commitment from both parties, the rights of the parties are identified, payment terms are established, the contract has commercial substance and collectability of the consideration is probable. The Company also evaluates the following indicators, amongst others, when determining whether it is acting as a principaldisclosed in the transaction (and therefore whether to record revenuesection “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our annual report on a gross basis): (i) whether the Company is primarily responsible for fulfilling the promise to provide the specified good or service, (ii) whether the Company has the inventory risk before the specified good or service has been transferred to a customer or after transfer of control to the customer and (iii) whether the Company has the discretion to establish the priceForm 10-K for the specified good or service. If the terms of a transaction do not indicate that the Company is actingyear ended December 31, 2020, as a principal in the transaction, then the Company is acting as an agent in the transaction and therefore, the associated revenue is recognized on a net basis (that is revenue net of costs).amended.

 

Revenue is recognized once control passes to the customer. The following indicators are evaluated in determining when control has passed to the customer: (i) whether the Company has a right to payment for the product or service, (ii) whether the customer has legal title to the product, (iii) whether the Company has transferred physical possession of the product to the customer, (iv) whether the customer has the significant risk and rewards of ownership of the product and (v) whether the customer has accepted the product. The Company’s products can be delivered to customers in a variety of ways, including (i) physical shipment from the Company’s warehouse, (ii) via drop-shipment by the vendor or supplier or (iii) via electronic delivery of keys for software licenses. The Company’s shipping terms typically allow for the Company to recognize revenue when the product reaches the customer’s location.

42

Hardware

Revenue from the sale of hardware is recognized on a gross basis, as the Company is deemed to be acting as the principal in these transactions. The selling price to the customer is recorded as revenue and the acquisition cost is recorded within cost of revenue. The Company recognizes revenue from these transactions when control has passed to the customer, which is usually upon shipment.

In some instances, the customer agrees to buy the product from the Company, but requests delivery at a later date, commonly known as bill-and-hold arrangements. For these transactions, the Company deems that control passes to the customer when the product is ready for delivery. The Company classifies such products as products ready for delivery when the customer has a signed agreement, the significant risk and rewards for the product has passed to the customer, the customer has the ability to direct the assets, the products have been set aside specifically for the customer and the Company cannot redirect the product for the benefit of another customer.

In drop-shipment arrangements, whereby the Company arranges for the vendor to deliver products directly to its customers without the inventory first being physically held at its warehouses, the Company considers itself to be the principal in the transaction and therefore, recognizes the related revenue on a gross basis.

Software

Revenues from most software license sales are recognized as a single performance obligation on a net basis, as the Company is deemed to be acting as an agent in these transactions. Revenues in these instances are recognized at the point the software license is delivered to the customer. Generally, software licenses are sold with accompanying third-party delivered software support, which is a product that allows customers to upgrade, at no additional cost, to the latest technology if new capabilities are introduced during the period that the software support is in effect. The Company evaluates whether the software support is a separate performance obligation by assessing whether the third-party delivered software support is critical or essential to the core functionality of the software itself. This involves considering whether the software provides its original intended functionality to the customer without the updates, whether the customer would ascribe a higher value to the upgrades versus the up-front deliverable, whether the customer would expect frequent intelligence updates to the software (such as updates that maintain the original functionality), and whether the customer chooses to not delay or always install upgrades. If the Company determines that the accompanying third-party delivered software support is critical or essential to the core functionality of the software license, the software license and the accompanying third-party delivered software support are recognized as a single performance obligation. The value of the product is primarily based on the accompanying support delivered by a third-party, and therefore the Company is acting as an agent in these transactions and therefore, recognizes the associated revenue on a net basis at the point that the associated software license is delivered to the customer.

Third-party services

The Company is deemed to be the agent in the sale of third-party maintenance, software support and services, as the third-party controls the service until it is transferred to the customer. In these instances, the Company recognizes the revenue on a net basis equal to the selling price to the customer less the acquisition costs. Such revenue is recognized when the customer and vendor accept the terms and conditions of the arrangement.

Managed and professional services

Professional services offerings include assessments, project management, staging, configuration, and integration. Managed services offerings range from monitoring and notification to a fully outsourced network management solution. In these arrangements, the Company satisfies the performance obligations and recognizes revenue over time.

Such professional services are provided under both time and materials and fixed price contracts. When services are provided on a time and materials basis, the Company recognizes revenues at agreed-upon billing rates as services are performed. When services are provided on a fixed fee basis, the Company recognizes revenues over time in proportion to the Company’s progress towards complete satisfaction of the performance obligation.

In arrangements for managed services, the Company’s arrangement is typically a single performance obligation comprised of a series of distinct services that are substantially the same and that have the same pattern of transfer (i.e., distinct days of service). The Company typically recognize revenues from these services on a straight-line basis over the period services are provided, which is consistent with the timing of services rendered.

43

Freight and sales tax

Freight billed to customers is included within revenue on the condensed consolidated statement of operations. The related freight charged to the Company is included within cost of revenue. Sales tax collected from customers is remitted to governmental authorities on a net basis.

Contract liabilities

Contract liabilities (or deferred or unearned revenue) are recognized when cash payments are received or due in advance of the Company’s performance obligations.

Costs of obtaining and fulfilling a contract

The Company capitalizes costs that are incremental to obtaining customer contracts, predominately sales commissions. Such deferrals are then amortized to expense, in proportion to each completed contract performance obligation, on a straight-line basis over the period during which the Company fulfills its performance obligation.

Costs associated with contracts whereby the Company has an obligation to perform services, are incurred specifically to assist the Company in rendering services to its customers and are recorded as deferred customer support contract costs at the time the costs are incurred. The costs are amortized to expense on a straight-line basis over the period during which the Company fulfills its performance obligation.

We consider revenue recognition to be a critical accounting policy and one that involves critical accounting estimates because of the materiality of this item to our financial statements and the level of judgement involved. Judgement is required in some of the factors discussed above including whether we are acting as a principal or an agent, the determination of when risk effectively passes to the customer, the determination of the price expected to be collected from the customer, the determination of whether revenue from certain software sales should be recognized as a single performance obligation or whether certain software support should be recognized as a separate performance obligation, and the assessment of whether the third-party delivered software support is critical or essential to the core functionality of the software itself.

Accounting for income taxes

Under ASC 740, income tax expense is recorded for the amount of income tax payable or refundable for the current period and for the change in net deferred tax assets or liabilities resulting from events that are recorded for financial reporting purposes in a different reporting period than recorded in the tax return. We make significant assumptions, judgments, and estimates in the determination of our provision for income taxes and also our deferred tax assets and liabilities and any valuation allowances.

Our judgments, assumptions, and estimates relating to the current tax provision take into account current tax laws, our interpretation of current tax laws, allowable deductions, projected tax credits, and possible outcomes of current and future tax audits. We do not recognize a tax benefit unless we conclude that it is more likely than not that the benefit will be sustained on audit by the taxing authority based solely on the technical merits of the associated tax position. If the recognition threshold is met, we recognize a tax benefit measured at the largest amount of the tax benefit that, in our judgment, is greater than a 50 percent likelihood of realization. Changes in tax laws or our interpretation of tax laws and the resolution of current and future tax audits could materially impact the amounts provided for income taxes. Our assumptions, judgments, and estimates relative to the value of our net deferred tax assets take into account predictions of the amount and category of future taxable income. Actual operating results and the underlying amount and category of income in future years could render our current assumptions, judgments, and estimates inaccurate, thus materially impacting our financial position and results of operations.

44

Purchase price allocation

The Company accounts for business combinations in accordance with ASC 805. Accordingly, tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed are recorded at their estimated fair values, the excess of the purchase consideration over the fair values of net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill, and transaction costs are expensed as incurred. Determining fair values of certain assets acquired and liabilities assumed requires the exercise of judgment and often involves the use of significant estimates and assumptions. Also, assigning useful lives to intangible assets, which determine the related amortization expense, involves subjectivity.

Share-based compensation

The Company accounts for share-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense, based on estimated fair values, for share-based awards made to employees and directors. Based on the grant date fair value of the award, the Company recognizes compensation expense over the requisite service period or performance period on a straight-line basis, and accounts for forfeitures as they occur.

Significant judgement is required in the estimation of fair values of stock awards. For the restricted stock awards with a time-based vesting condition, the fair value is determined by reference to the Company’s stock price on the grant date. A portion of the Company’s restricted stock awards are performance-based with a market condition that must be met for the award to vest. For those restricted stock awards, the fair value is estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation model, whereby the fair value of such awards is fixed at the grant date and amortized over the shorter of the remaining performance or service period. The Monte Carlo simulation valuation model utilizes the following assumptions: expected stock price volatility, expected life of the awards and a risk-free interest rate. Significant judgment is required in estimating the expected volatility of our common stock. Due to the limited trading history of the Company’s common stock, estimated volatility was based on a peer group of public companies and took into consideration the increased short-term volatility in historical data due to COVID-19.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

 

Foreign exchange risk

Our business is primarily conducted within US markets and, hence we have no materialour exposure to currency fluctuations.fluctuations is limited. International revenues during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 was 6.9% and 7.6% of revenues, respectively.

 

Interest rate risk

Interest rate risks are inherent in the Credit Agreement, partially mitigated by an interest rate swap.Agreement. See Note 8.8 of the condensed consolidated financial statements. Currently, management does not view this exposure asto be a significant risk.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 


Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

As required by Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2020.period covered by this report. Based upon their evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e)13a-15 (e) and 15d-15(e)15d-15 (e) under the Exchange Act) were not effective atas of September 30, 2021 due solely to the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting described below in “Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting.” In light of such material weakness, we performed additional analysis as deemed necessary to ensure that our financial statements were prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Accordingly, management believes that the financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q present fairly in all material respects our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.

Management’s Report on Internal Controls 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 Rule 13a-15(f). Internal control over financial reporting is a process used to provide reasonable assurance levelregarding the reliability of our financial reporting and accordingly, providedthe preparation of our financial statements for external purposes in accordance with GAAP. Internal control over financial reporting includes policies and procedures that pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets; provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of our financial statements in accordance with GAAP, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with the information requiredauthorization of our board of directors and management; and provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on our financial statements.

An internal control system over financial reporting has inherent limitations and may not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore, even those systems determined to be disclosedeffective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Also, 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. However, these inherent limitations are known features of the financial reporting process. Therefore, it is possible to design safeguards into the process to reduce, though not fully eliminate, risk.

Due solely to the events that led to the restatement of our December 2020 consolidated financial statements, management has identified a material weakness in internal controls related to the accounting for warrants issued by usPensare Acquisition Corp. (“Pensare”) issued in reports filed underconnection with the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specifiedinitial public offering, as described in the SEC’s rulessection titled, “Restatement of Previously Issued Financial Statements” in Note 3 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, as amended.

Management is implementing remediation steps to address the material weakness and forms.to improve our internal control over financial reporting. Such remediation steps will include an expansion and improvement of our review process for complex securities and related accounting standards by engaging expert third-party professionals with whom to consult regarding complex accounting applications and consideration.

Any of these factors could result in a significant or material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition or cash flows. Additional risk factors not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also impair our business. As of the date of this quarterly report, there have been no material changes to the risk factors disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, as amended, filed with the SEC on June 29, 2020,May 14, 2021, other than the amended and restated risk factorfactors set forth below and except as may otherwise be disclosed in this quarterly report. We may disclose changes to such factors or disclose additional factors from time to time in our future filings with the SEC.

 

The CompanyCOVID-19 pandemic and related impact on global economies may continue to materially and adversely impact global supply chains and therefore adversely impact the Company’s financial position and results of operations.

The COVID-19 pandemic has had a substantial amountnegative impact on global economies, has caused disruptions in manufacturing and financial markets, has caused an increase in volatility, and has impeded global supply chains, including those of indebtedness,our vendors. Our ability to deliver our solutions to our customers depends in large part on the ability of our vendors and other business partners to deliver products we have procured from them. If the COVID-19 pandemic impairs the ability of our business partners to support us on a timely basis, or negatively impacts the demand for our products and services, our ability to fulfil orders from our customers as well as the demand for our solutions may be negatively impacted. Disruptions from the COVID-19 pandemic has affected the Company’s ability, particularly the ability of Computex, to get product on the same cycle time as historically typical, thereby causing an increase in order backlog, due to various factors impacting our vendors, including workforce disruptions due to illness, quarantines, government actions, facility closures, and other actions that limit the capacity of production facilities.

The degree to which the global supply chain disruption will continue to impact our business, financial position and results of operations will depend on future developments, some of which is scheduledare beyond our control, including the frequency and duration of any waves of infection, the effectiveness and timing of any vaccines, the extent of actions to maturecontain or treat the virus, and the timing and extent to which normal economic and operating conditions can resume locally and internationally.

We may not complete the planned divestiture of Computex on June 30,our anticipated timeline or at all, and, even if completed, we may not achieve the benefits we anticipate.

In September 2021, which could have important consequenceswe announced that our Board had authorized us to its business.

The Company has a substantial amountexplore strategic opportunities for our IT solutions business, including the planned divestiture of indebtedness. As of September 30, 2020,Computex (the “Divestiture”). We believe that the Company had total debt of $10.5 million (including current portionchange will allow us to optimize resource allocation, focus on core competencies, and before deducting unamortized debt issuance costs) plus line of credit borrowings of $8.5 million and a promissory note of $0.5 million along with theimprove our ability to borrow an additional $8.0 million underinvest in areas of maximal growth potential. We expect that the Credit Agreement, subjectproceeds from any potential sale transaction will be used to a borrowing basefurther deleverage our balance sheet and a liquidity condition. The Company’s substantial indebtedness could have important consequences, including the following:provide working capital.

 

making it more difficult for the Company to satisfy its obligations with respect to its indebtedness;

requiring the Company to dedicate a substantial portion of its cash flow from operations to debt service payments on its debt, which reduces the funds available for working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions and other general corporate purposes;

requiring the Company to comply with restrictive covenants in the Credit Agreement, which limit the manner in which it conducts its business;

making it more difficult for the Company to obtain vendor financing from its vendor partners, including original equipment manufacturers and software publishers;

limiting the Company’s flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in the industry in which it operates;

placing the Company at a competitive disadvantage compared to any of its less-leveraged competitors;

increasing the Company’s vulnerability to both general and industry-specific adverse economic conditions; and

limiting the Company’s ability to obtain additional debt or equity financing to fund future working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions or other general corporate requirements and increasing its cost of borrowing.

In addition, the Credit Agreement is scheduled to mature on June 30, 2021. We intend to seek to either negotiate an extension of the maturity date or refinance the Credit Agreement on or prior to such date. We may not be able to extendfind an acquiror for Computex on terms acceptable to us, or at all. Even if the maturityDivestiture is completed, we may not achieve some or all of the anticipated benefits, including those described above, and our future investments and other business opportunities that we anticipate will be facilitated by the Divestiture may not be successful and may prove not to be superior alternatives to the continued operation of Computex. Further, execution of the Divestiture will require significant time and attention from management and other employees, including following the closing of the Divestiture, which may divert the attention of our management and other employees from the execution of our other initiatives and could adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

We have identified a material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting related to the restatement described in our Annual Report on Form 10K, as amended, which, if not remediated, could result in material misstatements in our financial statements.

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f). Internal control over financial reporting is a process used to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of our financial reporting and the preparation of our financial statements for external purposes in accordance with GAAP. Management is also likewise required, on a quarterly basis, to evaluate the effectiveness of our internal controls and to disclose any changes or material weaknesses identified as a result of such evaluation. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

As described elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting related to accounting for the Private Placement and EBC Warrants issued in connection with Pensare Acquisition Corp.’s initial public offering in 2017. As a result of this material weakness, management concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of September 30, 2021. This material weakness resulted in the need to restate certain financial statement line items in our previously issued financial statements for the period ended December 31, 2020.


Any failure to maintain effective internal control over financial reporting or disclosure controls and procedures could adversely impact our ability to report our financial position and results of operations on a timely and accurate basis. If our financial statements are not accurate, investors may not have a complete understanding of our operations. Likewise, if our financial statements are not filed on a timely basis, we could be subject to sanctions or investigations by the stock exchange on which our common stock and public warrants are listed, the SEC or other regulatory authorities. In either case, there could result a material adverse effect on our business. Such material weakness could also cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information, which could have a negative effect on the trading price of our stock.

We can give no assurance that the measures we have taken and plan to take in the future will remediate the material weakness identified or that any additional material weaknesses or restatements of financial results will not arise in the future due to a failure to implement and maintain adequate internal control over financial reporting or circumvention of these controls. In addition, even if we are successful in strengthening our controls and procedures, in the future those controls and procedures may not be adequate to prevent or identify irregularities or errors or to facilitate the fair presentation of our financial statements.

We may face litigation and other risks as a result of the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting.

We identified a material weakness in our internal controls over financial reporting. As a result of such material weakness, the restatement described elsewhere in this Report, the change in accounting for the Company’s Private Placement and EBC warrants, and other matters raised or that may in the future be raised by the SEC, the Company could potentially face litigation or other disputes which could include, among others, claims invoking the federal and state securities laws, contractual claims or other claims arising from the restatement and material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting and the preparation of our financial statements. As of the date of this Report, we have no knowledge of any such litigation or dispute. However, we can provide no assurance that any such litigation or dispute will not arise in the Credit Agreementfuture. Any such litigation or dispute, whether successful or not, could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition or our ability to refinance our existing indebtedness on acceptable terms, or at all, and may be forced to choose fromcomplete a number of unfavorable options. These options may include agreeing to otherwise unfavorable financing terms, selling assets on disadvantageous terms or defaulting on the loan and permitting the lender to foreclose.
