Words such as "anticipates," "expects," "intends," "goals," "plans," "believes," "seeks," "estimates," "continues," "may," "will," “would,” "should," “could,” and variations of such words and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. In addition, any statements that refer to projections of our future financial performance, our anticipated growth and trends in our businesses, uncertain events or assumptions, and other characterizations of future events or circumstances are forward-looking statements. Such statements are based on management's expectations as of the date of this filing and involve many risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in our forward-looking statements. Such risks and uncertainties include those described throughout this report and our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016, particularly the "Risk Factors" sections of such reports. Given these risks and uncertainties, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements.

On March 24, 2017, Philou purchased 25,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock pursuant to the Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement in consideration of cancellation of Company debt of $250 due to MCKEA, an affiliate of Philou. On May 5, 2017, Philou purchased an additional 50,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock pursuant to the Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement for $500 (See Note 11).

On March 15, 2017, Company entered into a subscription agreement with one investor for the sale of 500,000 shares of common stock at $0.60 per share for the aggregate purchase price of $300 (See Note 11).

On March 20, 2017, the Company issued $250 in demand promissory note to one of the Company's shareholders (See Note 7).

On March 28, 2017, the Company issued $270 in demand promissory notes to several investors. The Company received gross proceeds of $220 on March 31, 2017 and the remaining balance of $50 was received on April 3, 2017. On April 5, 2017, the Company canceled these promissory notes by issuing to the holders 360,000 shares of common stock at $0.75 per share and warrants to purchase 180,000 shares of common stock at $0.90 per share (See Note 8).

The Company expects to continue to incur losses for the foreseeable future and needs to raise additional capital to continue its business development initiatives and to support its working capital requirements. In March 2017, the Company was awarded a 3-year, $50 million purchase order by MTIX Ltd. (“MTIX") to manufacture, install and service the Multiplex Laser Surface Enhancement (“MLSE”) plasma-laser system. Management believes that the MLSE purchase order will be a source of revenue and generate significant cash flows for the Company. Management believes that the Company has access to capital resources through potential public or private issuance of debt or equity securities. If the Company is unable to raise additional capital, it may be required to curtail operations and take additional measures to reduce costs, including reducing its workforce, eliminating outside consultants and reducing legal fees in order to conserve its cash in amounts sufficient to sustain operations and meet its obligations. However, management believes that the Company has sufficient capital resources to sustain operations and meet its obligations through at least May 31, 2018.

NOTE 1:-          GENERAL

a.Digital Power Corporation (the “Company” or “DPC”) was incorporated in 1969, under the General Corporation Law of the State of California. The Company and Digital Power Limited (“DPL”), a wholly owned subsidiary located in the United Kingdom, are currently engaged in the design, manufacture and sale of switching power supplies and converters. The Company has two reportable geographic segments - North America (sales through DPC) and Europe (sales through DPL).

b.  

In January 2016, Telkoor Telecom Ltd. (“Telkoor”) sold its entire commercial assets to Advice Ltd. (“Advice”). Consequently, the Company depends on Advice for design, to retain product technology up-to-date and manufacturing capabilities for certain of the products that the Company sells. If Advice is unable or unwilling to continue designing or manufacturing the Company's products in required volumes and with a certain level of quality on a timely basis, that could lead to loss of sales and adversely affect the Company's operating results and cash position. The Company also depends on Advice's intellectual property and ability to transfer production to third party manufacturers. Failure to obtain new products in a timely manner or delay in delivery of products to customers will have an adverse effect on the Company's ability to meet its customers’ expectations.  In addition, the Company operates in highly competitive markets where the ability to sell Advice’s products could be adversely affected by Advice's agreements with other companies, long lead-times and the high cost of Advice’s products. In 2010, the Company purchased specific IP from Telkoor in order to reduce its dependency on Telkoor with respect to a certain line of products. 

c.

On September 5, 2016, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Philou Ventures, LLC, a Wyoming limited liability company (the “Purchaser”), and Telkoor Telecom Ltd., an Israeli company (the “Seller”) pursuant to which the Purchaser purchased all of the Seller’s 2,714,610 shares of the common stock in the Company, constituting approximately 40.06% of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock. In consideration for such shares, the Purchaser paid Seller $1.5 million.

Pursuant to the Agreement, the Company entered into a Rescission Agreement with the Seller in order to resolve all financial issues between the parties, including the repurchase by the Seller of 1,136,666 shares of common stock in Seller beneficially owned by the Company for their book value.
The closing of the transactions under the Agreement and the Rescission Agreement occurred on September 22, 2016.

NOTE 4:-

ACCOUNTING FOR STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION (Cont.)

Under the provisions of ASC 718, the fair value of each option is estimated on the date of grant using a Black-Sholes option valuation model that uses the assumptions such as stock price on the date of the grant, exercise price, risk-free interest rate, expected volatility, expected life and expected dividend yield of the option. Expected volatility is based exclusively on historical volatility of the entity's stock as allowed by ASC 718. The Company uses historical information with respect to the employee options exercised to estimate the expected term of options granted, representing the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding. The risk-free interest rate of the period within the contractual life of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant.

No options were granted during the first nine months of 2016.

The total employee’s equity-based compensation expense related to all of the Company’s equity-based awards recognized for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 is comprised as follows:

NOTE 7:-        SEGMENTS, MAJOR CUSTOMERS AND GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATIONRevenue Recognition

The Company generates revenues from the sale of its products through a direct and indirect sales force.Revenues from products are recognized in accordance with ASC No. 605,Revenue Recognition, when the following criteria are met: persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the seller's price to the buyer is fixed or determinable, no further obligation exists and collectability is reasonably assured.Generally, the Company does not grant a right of return. However, certain distributors are allowed, in the six months after the initial stock purchase, to rotate stock that has not been sold for other products. Revenues subject to stock rotation rights are deferred until the products are sold to the end customer or until the rotation rights expire.Service revenues are deferred and recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the service agreement. Service revenues are immaterial in proportion to the Company's revenues. 

Warranty

 

The Company hasoffers a warranty period for all of its products. Warranty periods range from one to two reportable geographic segments (see Note 1 foryears depending on the product. The Company estimates the costs that may be incurred under its warranty and records a brief descriptionliability in the amount of such costs at the time product revenue is recognized. Factors that affect the Company's business).warranty liability include the number of units sold, historical rates of warranty claims and cost per claim. The Company periodically assesses the adequacy of its recorded warranty liability and adjusts the amounts as necessary.

As of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company’s accrued warranty liability was $86.

Common Stock Purchase Warrants and Other Derivative Financial Instruments

 

The following data presents the revenues, expendituresCompany classifies common stock purchase warrants and other operating datafree standing derivative financial instruments as equity if the contracts (i) require physical settlement or net-share settlement or (ii) give the Company a choice of net-cash settlement or settlement in its own shares (physical settlement or net-share settlement). The Company classifies any contracts that (i) require net-cash settlement (including a requirement to net cash settle the contract if an event occurs and if that event is outside the control of the Company's geographic operating segmentsCompany), (ii) give the counterparty a choice of net-cash settlement or settlement in shares (physical settlement or net-share settlement), or (iii) contain reset provisions as either an asset or a liability. The Company assesses classification of its freestanding derivatives at each reporting date to determine whether a change in classification between assets and liabilities is required. The Company determined that certain freestanding derivatives, which principally consist of issuance of warrants to purchase shares of common in connection with convertible notes, units and to employees of the Company, satisfy the criteria for classification as equity instruments as these warrants do not contain cash settlement features or variable settlement provision that cause them to not be indexed to the Company’s own stock.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 218 "Segment Reporting" ("No. 718,Compensation – Stock Compensation ("ASC 218"No. 718"). Under ASC No. 718, compensation expense related to stock-based payments is recorded over the requisite service period based on the grant date fair value of the awards. Compensation previously recorded for unvested stock options that are forfeited is reversed upon forfeiture. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model for determining the estimated fair value for stock-based awards. The Black-Scholes model requires the use of assumptions which determine the fair value of stock-based awards, including the option’s expected term and the price volatility of the underlying stock.

Major customer data asThe Company’s accounting policy for equity instruments issued to consultants and vendors in exchange for goods and services follows the provisions of ASC No. 505-50,Equity Based Payments to Non-Employees. Accordingly, the measurement date for the fair value of the equity instruments issued is determined at the earlier of (i) the date at which a percentagecommitment for performance by the consultant or vendor is reached or (ii) the date at which the consultant or vendor’s performance is complete. In the case of total revenues:equity instruments issued to consultants, the fair value of the equity instrument is recognized over the term of the consulting agreement.

 

Convertible Instruments

The Company accounts for hybrid contracts that feature conversion options in accordance with ASC No. 815,Derivatives and Hedging Activities (“ASC No. 815”). ASC No. 815 requires companies to bifurcate conversion options from their host instruments and account for them as freestanding derivative financial instruments according to certain criteria. The criteria includes circumstances in which (a) the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded derivative instrument are not clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics and risks of the host contract, (b) the hybrid instrument that embodies both the embedded derivative instrument and the host contract is not re-measured at fair value under otherwise applicable GAAP with changes in fair value reported in earnings as they occur and (c) a separate instrument with the same terms as the embedded derivative instrument would be considered a derivative instrument.

Conversion options that contain variable settlement features such as provisions to adjust the conversion price upon subsequent issuances of equity or equity linked securities at exercise prices more favorable than that featured in the hybrid contract generally result in their bifurcation from the host instrument.

The Company accounts for convertible instruments, when the Company has determined that the embedded conversion options should not be bifurcated from their host instruments, in accordance with ASC No. 470-20,Debt with Conversion and Other Options (“ASCNo.470-20”). Under ASC No. 470-20 the Company records, when necessary, discounts to convertible notes for the intrinsic value of conversion options embedded in debt instruments based upon the differences between the fair value of the underlying common stock at the commitment date of the note transaction and the effective conversion price embedded in the note. The Company accounts for convertible instruments (when the Company has determined that the embedded conversion options should be bifurcated from their host instruments) in accordance with ASC No. 815.

Comprehensive Loss

The Company reports comprehensive loss in accordance with ASC No. 220,Comprehensive Income. This statement establishes standards for the reporting and presentation of comprehensive loss and its components in a full set of general purpose financial statements. Comprehensive loss generally represents all changes in equity during the period except those resulting from investments by, or distributions to, stockholders. The Company determined that its items of other comprehensive loss relate to changes in foreign currency translation adjustments.

Fair value of Financial Instruments

In accordance with ASC No. 820,Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, fair value is defined as the exit price, or the amount that would be received for the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants as of the measurement date.

The guidance also establishes a hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs are inputs that market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability and are developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the Company’s assumptions about the factors that market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability. The guidance establishes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1: Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2: Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or model-derived valuations. All significant inputs used in our valuations are observable or can be derived principally from or corroborated with observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. Level 2 inputs also include quoted prices that were adjusted for security-specific restrictions which are compared to output from internally developed models such as a discounted cash flow models.

Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

The carrying amounts of financial instruments carried at cost, including cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables and trade receivable – related party, investments, notes receivable, trade payables and trade payables – related party approximate their fair value due to the short-term maturities of such instruments.

As of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the fair value of the Company’s investments were $1,653 and $1,036, respectively, and were concentrated in debt and equity securities of AVLP, a related party (See Note 4), which are classified as available-for-sale investments. At March 31, 2017, the Company's investment in AVLP is comprised of convertible promissory notes of $1,561, net of unamortized discount, and marketable equity securities of $92. At December 31, 2016, the Company's investment in AVLP is comprised of convertible promissory notes of $952, net of unamortized discount, and marketable equity securities of $84. For investments in marketable equity securities, the Company took into consideration general market conditions, the duration and extent to which the fair value is below cost, and the Company’s ability and intent to hold the investment for a sufficient period of time to allow for recovery of value in the foreseeable future. As a result of this analysis, the Company has determined that its cost basis in AVLP equitable securities approximates the current fair value.

Consistent with the guidance at ASC No. 835, the Company’s presumption is that the fair value of its convertible promissory notes in AVLP have a present value equivalent to the cash proceeds exchanged. Further, the discount shall be reported in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the face amount of the convertible promissory notes. Thus, the Company has determined that the amortized cost of its convertible promissory notes approximates fair value and are subject to a periodic impairment review. The interest income, including amortization of the discount arising at acquisition, for the convertible promissory notes are included in earnings. In the future, if the Company does not expect to recover the entire amortized cost basis, the Company shall recognize other-than-temporary impairments in other comprehensive income (loss).

In the first quarter of 2017, the Company purchased at the market shares of common stock of three companies for a total cost of $20. In accordance with ASC No. 320-10, these investments are accounted for pursuant to the fair value method. Based upon the closing market prices of common stock for these three companies at March 31, 2017, and most recently at May 10, 2017, the Company determined that its cost basis in the shares of common stock for these companies approximates the current fair value and has concluded that its investment in marketable securities is not impaired.

Debt Discounts

The Company accounts for debt discount according to ASC No. 470-20,Debt with Conversion and Other Options. Debt discounts are amortized through periodic charges to interest expense over the term of the related financial instrument using the effective interest method. During the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, the Company recorded amortization of debt discounts of $195 and nil, respectively

Net Loss per Share

Net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. The calculation of the basic and diluted earnings per share is the same for all periods presented, as the effect of the potential common stock equivalents is anti-dilutive due to the Company’s net loss position for all periods presented. The Company has included 317,460 warrants, with an exercise price of $.01, in its earnings per share calculation for the quarter ended March 31, 2017.

During the year ended December 31, 2016, the Company made a strategic decision to invest in AVLP, a related party controlled by Philou, an existing majority stockholder. The Company’s investments in AVLP primarily consist of convertible promissory notes and shares of common stock of AVLP.

On October 5, 2016, November 30, 2016, and February 22, 2017, the Company entered into three 12% Convertible Promissory Notes with AVLP (the"AVLP Notes") in the principal amount of $525 each. The AVLP Notes include a 5% original issue discount, resulting in net loans to AVLP of $1,500 and an original issue discount of $75. The AVLP notes accrue interest at 12% per annum and shall be due on or morebefore two years from the origination dates of each note. At any time after six months, the Company has the right, at its option, to convert all or any portion of the principal and accrued interest into shares of common stock of AVLP at approximately $0.74536 per share. Subject to adjustment,the AVLP Notes, inclusive of the original issue discount, are convertible into 2,113,086 shares of the Company’s total revenues in the period of nine months ended September 30, 2016.

NOTE 8:-       SUBSEQUENT EVENTScommon stock.

 

During the period from March 29, 2017 to March 31, 2017, the Company funded $52 in excess of the $1,500 net loan amount required pursuant to the terms of the AVLP Notes. The Company and AVLP have agreed that these additional advances shall feature terms mirroring those of the AVLP Notes, including 12% annual interest and an original issue discount of 5%; however, in addition to these terms, the Company and AVLP are in the process of finalizing additional terms that will be incorporated into a fourth convertible promissory note agreement.

The original issue discount of $78 on the AVLP Notes, inclusive of the original issue discount attributed to the $52 loaned between March 29, 2017 to March 31, 2017, is being amortized as interest income through the maturity date using the interest rate method. During the quarter ended March 31, 2017, the Company recorded $7 of interest income for the discount accretion. As of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company recorded contractual interest receivables attributed to the AVLP Notes of $47 and $13, respectively.

The Company has classified the AVLP Notes as Available-for-Sale securities, subject to the guidance in ASC No. 320. The AVLP Notes qualify for application of the Fair Value Option Subsections of Subtopic 320-10 and 825-10. At March 31, 2017, the closing market price of AVLP’s common Stock was $0.30. Subsequent to quarter-end, the closing market price of AVLP’s common stock was in the range of $0.12 and $ 0.30 and due to the illiquidity and significant volatility of AVLP’s common stock, the Company has determined that its cost basis in AVLP common stock approximates the current fair value.

The Company has concluded that indicators of impairment, including those described in ASC No. 320-10-35-27, do not currently exist for the Company’s investment in debt and equity securities of AVLP.

5.STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

Under the Company's 2016 Stock Incentive Plan (the“2016 Plan”) and the 2012 Stock Option Plan, as amended (the“2012 Plan”) (collectively, the“Plans”), options may be granted to employees, officers, consultants, service providers and directors of the Company. The Plans, as amended, provide for the issuance of a maximum of 5,372,630 shares of the Company’s common stock. Options granted under the Plans have an exercise price equal to or greater than the fair value of the underlying common stock at the date of grant and become exercisable based on a vesting schedule determined at the date of grant. Typically, options granted generally become fully vested after four years. Any options that are forfeited or cancelled before expiration become available for future grants. The options expire between 5 and 10 years from the date of grant. Restricted stock awards granted under the Plans are subject to a vesting period determined at the date of grant. As of March 31, 2017, an aggregate of 2,812,630 of the Company's options are still available for future grant.

During the three months ended March 31, 2017, the Company granted 510,000 options from the Plans to its employees at an average exercise price of $0.60 per share. These options become fully vested after four years. The Company estimated that the grant date fair value of these options was $229, which is being recognized as stock-based compensation expense over the requisite four-year service period

The Company has valued the options at their date of grant utilizing the Black-Scholes option pricing model. This model is dependent upon several variables such as the options’ term, exercise price, current stock price, risk-free interest rate estimated over the expected term and estimated volatility of our stock over the expected term of the options. The risk-free interest rate used in the calculations is based on the implied yield available on U.S. Treasury issues with an equivalent term approximating the expected life of the options as calculated using the simplified method. The estimated volatility was determined based on the historical volatility of our common stock.

During the three months ended March 31, 2017, the Company estimated the fair value of stock options granted using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions

Further, Philou shall have the right to participate in the Company’s future financings under substantially the same terms and conditions as other investors in those respective financings in order to maintain its then percentage ownership interest in the Company. Philou’s right to participate in such financings shall accrue and accumulate provided that it still owns at least 100,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock.

On March 24, 2017, Philou purchased 25,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock pursuant to the Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement in consideration of the cancellation of the Company debt due to an affiliate of Philou in the amount of $250. In addition, Philou received warrants to purchase 357,143 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.70 per share of common stock, which have been classified as equity instruments.The Company determined that the estimated relative fair value of these warrants, which are classified as equity, was $120 using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Since the warrants were classified as equity securities, the Company allocated the $250 purchase price based on the relative fair values of the Series B Preferred Stock and the warrants following the guidance in ASC No. 470,Debt.

The Series B Convertible Preferred Stock is convertible at any time, in whole or in part, at the option of Philou, into shares of common stock at a fixed conversion price, which is subject to adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends, combinations or similar events, of $0.70 per share. As the effective conversion price of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock on a converted basis was below the market price of the Company’s common stock on the date of issuance, it was determined that these discounts represent contingent beneficial conversion features, which were valued at $130 based on the difference between the effective conversion price and the market price of the Company’s common stock on the date of issuance.

The Company, however, is prohibited from issuing shares of common stock pursuant to the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock unless stockholder approval of such issuance of securities is obtained as required by applicable NYSE MKT listing rules. The Company has not yet received stockholder approval of such share issuances. This provision resulted in a contingent beneficial conversion feature that shall be recognized once the contingency is resolved. These features are analogous to preference dividends and shall be recorded as a non-cash return to preferred shareholders through accumulated deficit upon resolution of the contingency.

The increase in gross margins for the last quarter was mainly attributable to the increase in profitabilitysales of our commercial products sold byin our U.SU.S. Operations, which have greater gross margins, combined with the decrease in sales from our European operations.

 

Engineering and Product Development

 

Engineering and product development expenses decreasedincreased by $56,000$33 to $147,000$227 for the three months ended September 30, 2016March 31, 2017 from $203,000$194 for the three months ended September 30, 2015.

The overall decrease in our engineering and product development expenses for the comparative nine month periodincrease was primarily related to an increase in direct manpower cost from the completionaddition of custom product development efforts for medicala new Head of Engineering and broadband applications, which decreasedTechnology, a highly-compensated position that was created during the amountfourth quarter of outside contracted engineering services incurred by our U.S operations.2016.

 

Selling and Marketing

 

Selling and marketing expenses were $235,000 and $723,000, respectively,$295 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 asMarch 31, 2017 compared to $316,000 and $835,000, respectively,$255 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015. The decreaseMarch 31, 2016. During the quarter ended March 31, 2016, the services of our current Chief Executive Officer were reported within selling and marketing expenses due to the significant amount of time in which he devoted to the sales process. However, during the quarter ended March 31, 2017, we augmented our sales and marketing team with the addition of a Vice President of Business Development and two regional sales managers. The increase in the headcount of our sales and marketing team allowed our CEO to spend the majority of his time on general corporate matters related to our restructuring and expansion. As such, during the quarter ended March 31, 2017, the salary of our Chief Executive officer, which is $300 per year, was reported within general and administrative expenses. The increase in selling and marketing expenses is attributed to the increase in salaries for the three new sales and nine month periodsmarketing positions and partially offset by the allocation of 2016 versus the 2015 comparable periods was primarily the result of a reduction in sales staff.our Chief Executive Officer’s salary to general and administrative expense.


 

General and Administrative

 

General and administrative expenses were $404,000 and $1,115,000, respectively,$973 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 asMarch 31, 2017 compared to $378,000 and $1,279,000, respectively,$371 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015.March 31, 2016. The decreaseincrease in our general and administrative expenses for the comparative nine months period was mainly due to the resignationhigher stock based compensation expenses of $98, an increase in legal and audit costs of $123, an increase in investor relationship costs and hiring of additional consultants to build an infrastructure in anticipation of our former CFOfuture growth of $214 and lower stock option expenses.the allocation of our Chief Executive Officer’s salary to general and administrative expense. The remaining increase in thegeneral and administrative expenses is due to various costs, none of which are significant individually.

Interest (expense) income, net

Interest expense, net was $207 for the three months ended September 30, 2016 was mainly due to increases in legal costs related to the Securities Purchase Agreement with Philou Ventures, LLC.

Impairment of investment

The increase in interest expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015. Financial incomefirst quarter of 2017 is primarily related to foreign currency exchange gainsdebt discount, in the aggregate amount of $194, resulting from the impactissuance of (i)three-year warrants to purchase 265,000 shares of common stock, at an exercise price of $0.80 per share, and three-year warrants to purchase 265,000 shares of common stock, at an exercise price of $0.90 per share issued inconjunction with the sale of a 12% convertible secured note in the principal amount of $530 and (ii) five-year warrants to purchase 333,333 shares of the weakening British PoundCompany’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.70 per share issued in conjunction with the sale of $400 in demand promissory. In aggregate, as a result of these warrant issuances,during the three months ended March 31, 2017, non-cash interest expense of $194 was recorded from the amortization of debt discount and debt financing costs. The remaining increase in interest expense, net, was due to an increase in the amount of the Company’s total borrowings. At March 31 2017, the outstanding balance of the Company’s convertible notes payable and notes payable was $1,000. Conversely, at March 31, 2016, the Company did not have any outstanding convertible notes payable or notes payable. Interest expense was partially offset by interest income and the accretion of original issue discount on DPL cash and receivables that are linked to the USD.AVLP 12% Secured Convertible Note.

 

Operating Loss

 

The Company recorded an operating loss of $83,000$787 for the three months ended September 30, 2016March 31, 2017 compared to an operating loss of $417,000$200 for the three months ended September 30, 2015.March 31, 2016. The decrease in operating loss was achieved by increased sales in North America and lower operating expenses. For the nine months ended September 30, 2016, the Company recorded an operating loss of $272,000 compared to operating loss of $783,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2015.

Othercomprehensive income(loss)

Other comprehensive loss was $55,000 and $265,000, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 as compared to other comprehensive income of $82,000 and $55,000, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015. The significant other comprehensive loss for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2016, which decreased our equity reflects the impact of the weakening of the British Pound on the equity of our UK-based subsidiary DPL following the referendum in the UK on membership in the European Union.

 

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

 

On September 30, 2016,March 31, 2017, we had cash and cash equivalents of $1,292,000.$1,138. This compares with cash and cash equivalents of $1,241,000$996 at December 31, 2015.2016. The increase in cash and cash equivalents was primarily due to financing activities.

Net cash used in operating activities totaled $272 for the three months ended March 31, 2017, compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $8 for the three months ended March 31, 2016. During the quarter ended March 31, 2017, the decrease in net cash provided by operating activities compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2016 was mainly due to the 2017 first quarter loss of $994 and the reduction of accounts payable of $338. The net loss and use of cash attributed to the decrease in accounts payable was partially offset by non-cash charges, the amortization of debt discount of $195 and stock-based compensation of $157, and decreases in our accounts receivable of $413 and inventories of $193.

Net cash used in investing activities was $692 for the three months ended March 31, 2017 compared to $72 for the three months ended March 31, 2016.The increase of the net usage of cash from operating activities.investing activities was primarily related to the investment in AVLP.

 

Net cash provided by operatingfinancing activities totaled $138,000was $1,097 and nil for the ninethree months ended September 30,March 31, 2017 and 2016, compared to net cash used by operatingrespectively. The financing activities of $595,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2015. In the 2016 period, the increase in net cash provided from operating activities comparedrelated to the 2015 period was mainly due to a decrease in lossessale of 500,000 shares of common stock for net proceeds of $227 and a decrease in inventories.gross proceeds from notes payable and notes payable – related party of $870.

 

Net cash provided from investing activities was $12,000 forHistorically, the nine months ended September 30, 2016 comparedCompany has financed its operations principally through issuances of convertible debt, promissory notes and equity securities. During 2017, as reflected below, the Company continues to net cash usedsuccessfully obtain additional equity and debt financing and in investing activities of $130,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2015.restructuring existing debt. The investing activities for both periods represented purchases of property and equipment net of retirements, and for the 2016 period includes $90,000 received from sale of the investment in Telkoor.following financings transactions were consummated during 2017:

 

There were no financing activities in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 and September 30, 2015.

In February 2017, the Company issued demand promissory notes and warrants to purchase 333,333 shares of common stock at $ 0.70 per share for aggregate proceeds of $400. Further in February 2017, the holders of $400 in demand promissory notes agreed to extinguish their $400 of debt by cancelling their notes to purchase 666,667 shares of common stock of the Company at $0.60 per share.

 

We believe that cash provided by operating activities as well as our cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient to meet our anticipated cash needs for at least the next 12 months.

On March 9, 2017, the Company entered into a Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement with Philou, a related party, pursuant to which Philou agreed to invest up to $5,000 in the Company through the purchase of Series B Preferred Stock over a term of 36 months. On March 24, 2017, Philou purchased 25,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock pursuant to the Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement in consideration of cancellation of Company debt of $250 due to MCKEA, an affiliate of Philou. On May 5, 2017, Philou purchased an additional 50,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock pursuant to the Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement for $500.

 

On March 15, 2017, Company entered into a subscription agreement with one investor for the sale of 500,000 shares of common stock at $0.60 per share for the aggregate purchase price of $300.

We believe we have adequate resources at this time to continue our operational and promotional efforts to increase sales and support our current operation. However, if we do not increase our sales, we may have to raise money through debt or equity offerings, which may dilute shareholders’ equity.

On March 20, 2017, the Company issued $250 in demand promissory note to one of the Company's shareholders.

On March 28, 2017, the Company issued $270 in demand promissory notes to several investors. The Company received gross proceeds of $220 on March 31, 2017 and the remaining balance of $50 was received on April 3, 2017, subsequent to the quarter ended March 31, 2017. On April 5, 2017, the Company canceled these promissory notes by issuing to the holders 360,000 shares of common stock at $0.75 per share and warrants to purchase 180,000 shares of common stock at $0.90 per share.

 

 

We expect to continue to incur losses for the foreseeable future and will be required to raise additional capital to continue to support our working capital requirements. We believe that the MLSE purchase order contract of $50 million will contribute to generate meaningful revenue and corresponding cash in 2017. In addition, we have been successful over the last 12 months in raising capital to support our working capital requirements. We anticipate that we will continue to raise capital through public and private equity offerings, debt financings, or other means. If we are unable to secure additional capital, we may be required to curtail our current operations and take additional measures to reduce costs expenses, including reducing our workforce, eliminating outside consultants, ceasing or reducing our due diligence of potential future acquisitions, including the associated legal fees, in order to conserve cash in order to sustain operations and meet our obligations.

Based on the above, we believe that we will have sufficient capital resources to sustain operations through at least the next twelve months from the date of this filing.

ITEM 1A.        RISK FACTORS

 

The risk factors listedrisks described in this section provide examples of risks, uncertainties and events that may cause our actual results to differ materially from the expectations we describePart I, Item 1A, "Risk Factors," in our forward-looking statements. Readers should be aware that the occurrence of any of the events described in these risk factors2016 Form 10-K, could have a material adverse effect onmaterially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations, and financial condition. We undertake no obligation to update or revise publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.

We generated an operating and net loss during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 and September 30, 2015, we have historically experienced operating and net losses, and we may experience such losses in the future.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2016, we had an operating loss of $272,000 and a net loss of $165,000 compared to an operating loss of $1,003,000 and a net loss of $1,096,000 for the year ended December 31, 2015. Although we have actively taken steps to increase our revenue and reduce manufacturing and operating costs, we may incur operating and net losses in the future unless we increase revenues by selling current and custom design products and continue seeking manufacturing cost reductions through contract manufacturers.

We depend on Advice Electronics Ltd. (Advice) to maintain the technology used to manufacture our products and to manufacture some of our products. We also depend on the right to manufacture certain productssubject to royalty payments with Advice.

In January 2016, Telkoor sold its entire commercial assets to Advice (formerly owned by Telkoor) which included without limitation product IP, manufacturing rights, customer base, inventory, staff and technological capabilities. Following such transaction, we entered into a manufacturing and distribution agreement with Advice. This agreement allows us to manufacture certain Advice products through August 2017 against royalty payments. From August 2017 through December 2020, subject to Advice's consent, we will be allowed to continue distributing and selling certain Advice products while keeping product branding under our brand, after which we will be entitled to distribute the products under DPC branding until December 2020.

We depend on Advice to design and retain product technology up to date and for manufacturing capabilities for certain of the products that we sell. If Advice is unable or unwilling to continue designing or manufacturing our products in required volumes and with a certain level of quality on a timely basis, that could lead to loss of sales and adversely affect our operating results and cash position. We also depend on Advice's intellectual property and ability to transfer production to third party manufacturers. Failure to obtain new products in a timely manner or delay in delivery of products to customers will have an adverse effect on our ability to meet our customers’ expectations.  In addition, we operate in highly competitive markets where our ability to sell Advice’s products could be adversely affected by Advice's agreements with third parties, long lead-times and the high cost of Advice’s products. Also, in 2012, Telkoor’s products manufacturing lead-times increased, which hindered our ability to respond to our customers’ needs in timely manner. Advice's principal offices, research and development and manufacturing facilities are located in Israel. Political, economic, and military conditions in Israel directly affect Advice operations. We are also dependent upon Advice’s terms and conditions with its contract manufacturers for some of our products, which terms and conditions may not always be in our best interest.  In 2010, we purchased certain IP from Telkoor in order to reduce our dependency on Telkoor with respect to a certain line of products. We also entered into a Manufacturing Rights Agreement with Advice in 2016, pursuant to which we were granted the non-exclusive right to directly place purchase orders for certain products from a third party manufacturer in consideration for payment of royalties to Advice. This agreement currently accounts for a significant portion of our sales. In the event this agreement is terminated for any reason, it would materially affect our profitability and cash position.


We are dependent upon our ability, and our contract manufacturers’ ability, to timely procure electronic components.

Because of the global economy, many raw material vendors have reduced capacities, closed production lines and, in some cases, even discontinued their operations. As a result, there is a global shortage of certain electronic components, which has extended our production lead-time and our production costs.  Some materials are no longer available to support some of our products, thereby requiring us to search for cross materials or, even worse, redesign some of our products to support currently-available materials.  Such redesign efforts may require certain regulatory and safety agency re-submittals, which may cause further production delays. While we have initiated actions that we believe will limit our exposure to such problems, the dynamic business conditions in many of our markets may challenge the solutions that have been put in place, and issues may recur in the future.  

In addition, some of our products are manufactured, assembled and tested by third party subcontractors and contract manufacturers located domestically and in Asia. While we have had relationships with many of these third parties in the past, we cannot predict how or whether these relationships will continue in the future. In addition, changes in management, financial viability, manufacturing demand or capacity, or other factors, at these third parties could hurt our ability to manufacture our products.

If we fail to meet NYSE Mkt continued listing standards, our common stock will be delisted from NYSE Mkt which could adversely affect the price and liquidity of our common stock

The listing of our common stock on the NYSE MKT is contingent on our compliance with the NYSE MKT's conditions for continued listing. On December 18, 2015, we were notified by the NYSE MKT that we were no longer in compliance with the NYSE MKT continued listing standards because our last reported stockholders' equity was below continued listing standards. The NYSE MKT requires that a listed company's stockholders' equity be $4.0 million or more if it has reported losses from continuing operations and/or net losses in three of its four most recent fiscal years, and that stockholder equity be no less than $6 million if it has net losses in their five most recent fiscal years.

Following submission of our plan demonstrating how we intend to regain compliance with the continued listing standards, we were notified on March 9, 2016 that the NYSE MKT granted us a listing extension on the basis of our plan until June 19, 2017. We are subject to periodic review by NYSE MKT staff during the extension period. Failure to make progress consistent with the plan or to regain compliance with the continued listing standards by the end of the extension period could result in our common stock being delisted from the NYSE MKT.

There is no assurance that we will be able to regain compliance with the abovementioned standard or any other applicable NYSE MKT listing standard. Upon such an occurrence, trading of our common stock will be suspended by the NYSE MKT and we may be delisted by the NYSE MKT. In the event our common stock is no longer listed for trading on the NYSE MKT, our trading volume and share price may decrease and we may experience further difficulties in raising capital which could materially affect our operations and financial results.

We Will Need to Raise Additional Capital to Increase our Stockholders’ Equity and to Fund our Operations in Furtherance of Our Business Plan.

We will need to quickly raise additional capital in order to increase our stockholders’ equity in order to meet the NYSE MKT continued listing standards and to fund our operations in furtherance of our business plan. The proposed financing may include shares of common stock, shares of preferred stock, warrants to purchase shares of common stock or preferred stock, debt securities, units consisting of the forgoing securities, equity investments from strategic development partners or some combination of each. Any additional equity financings may be financially dilutive to, and will be dilutive from an ownership perspective to our stockholders, and such dilution may be significant based upon the size of such financing. Additionally, we cannot assure that such funding will be available on a timely basis, in needed quantities, or on terms favorable to us, if at all.

Our strategic focus on our custom power supply solution competencies and concurrent cost reduction plans may be ineffective or may limit our ability to compete.

As a result of our strategic focus on custom power supply solutions, we will continue to devote significant resources to developing and manufacturing custom power supply solutions for a large number of customers, where each product represents a uniquely tailored solution for a specific customer’s requirements.  Failure to meet these customer product requirements or a failure to meet production schedules and/or product quality standards may put us at risk with one or more of these customers.  Moreover, changes in market conditions and strategic changes at the direction of our customers may affect their decision to continue to purchase from us. The loss of one or more of our significant custom power supply solution customers could have a material adverse impact on our revenues, and business or financial condition.


We have also implemented a series of initiatives designed to increase efficiency and reduce costs.  While we believe that these actions will reduce costs, they may not be sufficient to achieve the required operational efficiencies that will enable us to respond more quickly to changes in the market or result in the improvements in our business that we anticipate. In such event, we may be forced to take additional cost-reducing initiatives, including those involving our personnel, which may negatively impact quarterly earnings and profitability as we account for severance and other related costs. In addition, there is the risk that such measures could have long-term adverse effects on our business by reducing our pool of talent, decreasing or slowing improvements in our products or services, making it more difficult for us to respond to customers, limiting our ability to increase production quickly if and when the demand for our solutions increases and limiting our ability to hire and retain key personnel. These circumstances could cause our earnings to be lower than they otherwise might be.

We are dependent upon our ability to attract, retain and motivate our key personnel.

Our success depends on our ability to attract, retain and motivate our key management personnel, including, but not limited to, our President and CEO, our V.P. of Finance, marketing and sales personnel, and key engineers necessary to implement our business plan and to grow our business. Competition for certain specific technical and management skill sets is intense. If we are unable to identify and hire the personnel that we need to succeed, or if one or more of our present key employees were to cease to be associated with us, our future results could be adversely affected. Mr. Kohn continues to serve in his role as our President and CEO. However, Mr. Kohn’s employment agreement expired on December 31, 2010. We have been in discussions with Mr. Kohn regarding a new employment agreement and have agreed to terms of a new employment subject to entering into a definitive agreement.

We depend upon a few major customers for a majority of our revenues, and the loss of any of these customers, or the substantial reduction in the quantity of products that they purchase from us, would significantly reduce our revenues and net income.

We currently depend upon a few major OEMs and other customers for a significant portion of our revenues. If our major OEM customers will reduce or cancel their orders scaling back some of their activities, our revenues and net income would be significantly reduced. Furthermore, diversions in the capital spending of certain of these customers to new network elements have and could continue to lead to their reduced demand for our products, which could, in turn, have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations. If the financial condition of one or more of our major customers should deteriorate, or if they have difficulty acquiring investment capital due to any of these or other factors, a substantial decrease in our revenues would likely result.

We are dependent on the electronic equipment industry, and accordingly will be affected by the impact on that industry of current economic conditions.

Substantially all of our existing customers are in the electronic equipment industry, and they manufacture products that are subject to rapid technological change, obsolescence, and large fluctuations in demand. This industry is further characterized by intense competition and volatility.  The OEMs serving this industry are pressured for increased product performance and lower product prices.  OEMs, in turn, make similar demands on their suppliers, such as us, for increased product performance and lower prices. Such demands may adversely affect our ability to successfully compete in certain markets or our ability to sustain our gross margins.

Our reliance on subcontract manufacturers to manufacture certain aspects of our products involves risks, including delays in product shipments and reduced control over product quality.

Since we do not own significant manufacturing facilities, we must rely on, and will continue to rely on, a limited number of contract manufacturers to manufacture our power supply products. Our reliance upon such subcontract manufacturers involves several risks, including reduced control over manufacturing costs, delivery times, reliability and quality of components, unfavorable currency exchange fluctuations, and continued inflationary pressures on many of the raw materials used in the manufacturing of our power supply products. If we were to encounter a shortage of key manufacturing components from limited sources of supply, or experience manufacturing delays caused by reduced manufacturing capacity, inability of our subcontract manufacturers to procure raw materials, the loss of key assembly subcontractors, difficulties associated with the transition to our new subcontract manufacturers or other factors, we could experience lost revenues, increased costs, and delays in, or cancellations or rescheduling of, orders or shipments, any of which would materially harm our business.

We outsource, and are dependent upon developer partners for the development of some of our custom design products.

We made an operational decision to outsource some of our custom design products to numerous developer partners. This business structure will remain in place until the custom design volume justifies expanding our in house capabilities. Incomplete product designs that do not fully comply with the customer specifications and requirements might affect our ability to transition to a volume production stage of the custom designed product where the revenue goals are dependent on the high volume of custom product production. Furthermore, we rely on the design partners’ ability to provide high quality prototypes of the designed product for our customer approval as a critical stage to approve production.

We face intense industry competition, price erosion and product obsolescence, which, in turn, could reduce our profitability.

We operate in an industry that is generally characterized by intense competition. We believe that the principal bases of competition in our markets are breadth of product line, quality of products, stability, reliability and reputation of the provider, along with cost. Quantity discounts, price erosion, and rapid product obsolescence due to technological improvements are therefore common in our industry as competitors strive to retain or expand market share. Product obsolescence can lead to increases in unsaleable inventory that may need to be written off and, therefore, could reduce our profitability. Similarly, price erosion can reduce our profitability by decreasing our revenues and our gross margins. In fact, we have seen price erosion over the last several years on most of the products we sell, and we expect additional price erosion in the future.


Our future results are dependent on our ability to establish, maintain and expand our manufacturer’ representative OEM relationships and our other relationships.

We market and sell our products through domestic and international OEM relationships and other distribution channels, such as manufacturers’ representatives and distributors. Our future results are dependent on our ability to establish, maintain and expand our relationships with OEMs as well as with manufacturer’ representatives and distributors to sell our products. If, however, the third parties with whom we have entered into such OEM and other arrangements should fail to meet their contractual obligations, cease doing, or reduce the amount of their business with us or otherwise fail to meet their own performance objectives, customer demand for our products could be adversely affected, which would have an adverse effect on our revenues.

We may not be able to procure necessary key components for our products, or we may purchase too much inventory or the wrong inventory.

The power supply industry, and the electronics industry as a whole, can be subject to business cycles.   During periods of growth and high demand for our products, we may not have adequate supplies of inventory on hand to satisfy our customers' needs. Furthermore, during these periods of growth, our suppliers may also experience high demand and, therefore, may not have adequate levels of the components and other materials that we require to build products so that we can meet our customers' needs. Our inability to secure sufficient components to build products for our customers could negatively impact our sales and operating results. We may choose to mitigate this risk by increasing the levels of inventory for certain key components. Increased inventory levels can increase the potential risk for excess and obsolescence should our forecasts fail to materialize or if there are negative factors impacting our customers’ end markets. If we purchase too much inventory or the wrong inventory, we may have to record additional inventory reserves or write-off the inventory, which could have a material adverse effect on our gross margins and on our results of operations.

Although we depend on sales of our legacy products for a meaningful portion of our revenues, these products are mature and their sales will continue to decline.

A relatively large portion of our sales have historically been attributable to our legacy products. We expect that these products may continue to account for a meaningful percentage of our revenues for the foreseeable future. However, these sales are declining. Although we are unable to predict future prices for our legacy products, we expect that prices for these products will continue to be subject to significant downward pressure in certain markets for the reasons described above. Accordingly, our ability to maintain or increase revenues will be dependent on our ability to expand our customer base, to increase unit sales volumes of these products and to successfully, develop, introduce and sell new products such as custom design and value added products. We cannot assure you that we will be able to expand our customer base, increase unit sales volumes of existing products or develop, introduce and/or sell new products.

Our operating results may vary from quarter to quarter.

Our operating results have in the past been subject to quarter-to-quarter fluctuations, and we expect that these fluctuations will continue, and may increase in magnitude, in future periods. Demand for our products is driven by many factors, including the availability of funding for our products in our customers’ capital budgets. There is a trend for some of our customers to place large orders near the end of a quarter or fiscal year, in part to spend remaining available capital budget funds. Seasonal fluctuations in customer demand for our products driven by budgetary and other concerns can create corresponding fluctuations in period-to-period revenues, and we therefore cannot assure you that our results in one period are necessarily indicative of our revenues in any future period. In addition, the number and timing of large individual sales and the ability to obtain acceptances of those sales, where applicable, have been difficult for us to predict, and large individual sales have, in some cases, occurred in quarters subsequent to those we anticipated, or have not occurred at all. The loss or deferral of one or more significant sales in a quarter could harm our operating results. It is possible that, in some quarters, our operating results will be below the expectations of public market analysts or investors. In such events, or in the event adverse conditions prevail, the market price of our common stock may decline significantly.

Failure ofcould decline. These risk factors do not identify all risks that we face - our information technology infrastructureoperations could also be affected by factors that are not presently known to operate effectively could adversely affect our business.

We depend heavily on information technology infrastructureus or that we currently consider to achieve our business objectives. If a problem occurs that impairs this infrastructure, the resulting disruption could impede our ability to record or process orders, manufacture and ship in a timely manner, or otherwise carry on business in the normal course. Any such events could cause us to lose customers or revenue and could require us to incur significant expense to remediate.

We are subject to certain governmental regulatory restrictions relatingbe immaterial to our international sales.

Some ofoperations. Due to risks and uncertainties, known and unknown, our products are subject to International Traffic In Arms Regulation (“ITAR”), which are interpreted, enforced and administered by the U.S. Department of State. ITAR regulation controls not only the export, import and trade of certain products specifically designed, modified, configured or adapted for military systems, but also the export of related technical data and defense services as well as foreign production.  Any delays in obtaining the required export, import or trade licenses for products subject to ITAR regulation and rules could have a material adverse effect on our business,past financial condition, and/or operating results.  In addition, changes in United States export and import laws that require us to obtain additional export and import licenses or delays in obtaining export or import licenses currently being sought could cause significant shipment delays and, if such delays are too great, could result in the cancellation of orders. Any future restrictions or charges imposed by the United States or any other country on our international sales or foreign subsidiary could have a materially adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and/or operating results. In addition, from time to time, we have entered into contracts with the Israeli Ministry of Defense which were governed by the U.S. Foreign Military Financing program (“FMF”). Any such future sales would be subject to these regulations.  Failure to comply with ITAR or FMF rules could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, and/or operating results.


We depend on international operations for a substantial majority of our components and products.

We purchase a substantial majority of our components from foreign manufacturers and have a substantial majority of our commercial products assembled, packaged, and tested by subcontractors located outside the United States. These activities are subject to the uncertainties associated with international business operations, including trade barriers and other restrictions, changes in trade policies, governmental regulations, currency exchange fluctuations, reduced protection for intellectual property, war and other military activities, terrorism, changes in social, political, or economic conditions, and other disruptions or delays in production or shipments, any of which could have a materially adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and/or operating results.

We depend on international sales for a portion of our revenues.

Sales to customers outside of North America accounted for 43% of net revenues in the first nine months of 2016 and 58.1% of net revenues in the year ended December 31, 2015, and we expect that international sales will continue to represent a material portion of our total revenues. International sales are subject to the risks of international business operations as described above, as well as generally longer payment cycles, greater difficulty collecting accounts receivable, and currency restrictions.  In addition, DPL, our wholly-owned subsidiary in the United Kingdom, supports our European and other international customers, distributors, and sales representatives, and therefore is also subject to local regulation.  International sales are also subject to the export laws and regulations of the United States and other countries.

If our accounting controls and procedures are circumvented or otherwise fail to achieve their intended purposes, our business could be seriously harmed.

We evaluate our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of each fiscal quarter, and are annually reviewing and evaluating our internal control over financial reporting in order to comply with Securities and Exchange Commission rules relating to internal control over financial reporting adopted pursuant to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. 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. If we fail to maintain effective internal control over financial reporting or our management does not timely assess the adequacy of such internal control, we may be subject to regulatory sanctions, and our reputation may decline.

The sale of our products is dependent upon our ability to satisfy the proprietary requirements of our customers.

We depend upon a relatively narrow range of products for the majority of our revenue. Our success in marketing our products is dependent upon their continued acceptance by our customers. In some cases, our customers require that our products meet their own proprietary requirements. If we are unable to satisfy such requirements, or forecast and adapt to changes in such requirements, our business could be materially harmed.

The sale of our products is dependent on our ability to respond to rapid technological change, including evolving industry-wide standards, and may be adversely affected by the development, and acceptance by our customers, of new technologies which may compete with, or reduce the demand for, our products.

Rapid technological change, including evolving industry standards, could render our products obsolete. To the extent our customers adopt such new technology in place of our products, the sales of our products may be adversely affected. Such competition may also increase pricing pressure for our products and adversely affect the revenues from such products.

Our limited ability to protect our proprietary information and technology may adversely affect our ability to compete, and our products could infringe upon the intellectual property rights of others, resulting in claims against us, the results of which could be costly.

Many of our products consist entirely or partly of proprietary technology owned by us. Although we seek to protect our technology through a combination of copyrights, trade secret laws and contractual obligations, these protections may not be sufficienta reliable indicator of future performance and historical trends should not be used to prevent the wrongful appropriationanticipate results or trends in future periods. The Risk Factors section of our intellectual property, nor will they prevent our competitors from independently developing technologies that are substantially equivalent or superior to our proprietary technology. In addition, the laws of some foreign countries do not protect our proprietary rights to the same extent as the laws of the United States. In order to defend our proprietary rights2016 Annual Report on Form 10-K remains current in the technology utilized in our products from third party infringement, we may be required to institute legal proceedings, which would be costly and would divert our resources from the development of our business.  If we are unable to successfully assert and defend our proprietary rights in the technology utilized in our products, our future results could be adversely affected.all material respects.


Although we attempt to avoid infringing known proprietary rights of third parties in our product development efforts, we may become subject to legal proceedings and claims for alleged infringement from time to time in the ordinary course of business. Any claims relating to the infringement of third-party proprietary rights, even if not meritorious, could result in costly litigation, divert management’s attention and resources, require us to reengineer or cease sales of our products or require us to enter into royalty or license agreements which are not advantageous to us. In addition, parties making claims may be able to obtain an injunction, which could prevent us from selling our products in the United States or abroad.

If we are unable to satisfy our customers’ specific product quality, certification or network requirements, our business could be disrupted and our financial condition could be harmed.

Our customers demand that our products meet stringent quality, performance and reliability standards. We have, from time to time, experienced problems in satisfying such standards. Defects or failures have occurred in the past, and may in the future occur, relating to our product quality, performance and reliability. From time to time, our customers also require us to implement specific changes to our products to allow these products to operate within their specific network configurations. If we are unable to remedy these failures or defects or if we cannot effect such required product modifications, we could experience lost revenues, increased costs, including inventory write-offs, warranty expense and costs associated with customer support, delays in, or cancellations or rescheduling of, orders or shipments and product returns or discounts, any of which would harm our business.

If we ship products that contain defects, the market acceptance of our products and our reputation will be harmed and our customers could seek to recover their damages from us.

Our products are complex, and despite extensive testing, may contain defects or undetected errors or failures that may become apparent only after our products have been shipped to our customers and installed in their network or after product features or new versions are released. Any such defect, error or failure could result in failure of market acceptance of our products or damage to our reputation or relations with our customers, resulting in substantial costs for us and our customers as well as the cancellation of orders, warranty costs and product returns. In addition, any defects, errors, misuse of our products or other potential problems within or out of our control that may arise from the use of our products could result in financial or other damages to our customers. Our customers could seek to have us pay for these losses. Although we maintain product liability insurance, it may not be adequate.

Our common stock price is volatile.

Our common stock is listed on the NYSE MKT LLC.  In the past, our trading price has fluctuated widely, depending on many factors that may have little to do with our operations or business prospects.  The exercise of outstanding options and warrants may adversely affect our stock price and a shareholder’s percentage of ownership.  As of September 30, 2016, we had outstanding options to purchase an aggregate of 1,001,000 shares of common stock, with a weighted average exercise price of $1.55 per share, exercisable at prices ranging from $0.65 to $1.79 per share.
