2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and all majority owned and controlled domestic and foreign subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report are presented in accordance with the requirements of Form 10-Q and consequently do not include all of the disclosures normally required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (also referred to as “GAAP”) for annual reporting purposes or those made in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018.

The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2018 was derived from the Company’s audited consolidated balance sheet as of that date. All other condensed consolidated financial statements contained herein are unaudited and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments of a normal recurring nature necessary to present a fair statement of the financial position and the results of operations and cash flows for the respective interim periods. Certain prior period balances have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation. The results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of trends or results expected for a full year.
Unless otherwise indicated, all references to “dollars” and “$” in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are to, and amounts are presented in, U.S. dollars.

Use of Management Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with ~~U.S. generally accepted accounting principles~~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 consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results and changes in facts and circumstances may alter such estimates and affect results of operations and financial position in future periods.
Restricted Cash

Restricted cash represents amounts held in a collateral account for the Company’s corporate travel and purchasing credit card program.
Accounts Receivable

Trade accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. The Company determines the allowance for doubtful accounts based on several factors, including overall customer credit quality, historical write-off experience and a specific analysis that projects the ultimate collectability of the account. As such, these factors may change over time causing the allowance level and bad debt expense to be adjusted accordingly.

~~Equity Method~~ Investments
We apply the equity method of accounting to investments when we have significant influence, but not controlling interest, in the investee. Judgment regarding the level of influence over each equity method investment includes considering key factors such as ownership interest, representation on the board of directors, participation in policy-making decisions and material intercompany transactions. The Company’s proportionate share of the net income (loss) resulting from these investments is reported under the line item captioned “equity method investment income (loss)” in our condensed consolidated statements of operations. The ~~carrying value of our equity method investments is reported in “equity method investments” in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The~~ Company’s equity method investments are reported at cost and adjusted each period for the Company’s share of the investee’s income or loss and dividend paid, if any. The Company’s share of the investee’s income or loss is recorded on a one quarter lag for all equity method investments. The Company classifies distributions received from equity method investments using the cumulative earnings approach on the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. We apply the cost method of accounting to investments when we do not have significant influence or a controlling interest in the investee and the fair value of the investment is not readily determinable. Dividends on cost method investments received are recorded as income.
The Company assesses investments for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an investment may not be recoverable. Management reviewed the underlying net assets of the ~~equity~~ investments during the three ~~month period~~and nine months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2019 and determined that the Company’s proportionate economic interest in the investments indicate that the investments were not other than temporarily impaired. The carrying value of our equity method and cost method investments is reported in “investments” in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Note 6 contains additional information on our equity method and cost method investments.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are categorized into a fair value hierarchy based upon the observability of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date. Inputs refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk. The categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value are classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:

● Level 1 – inputs to the valuation techniques are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
● Level 2 – inputs to the valuation techniques are other than quoted prices but are observable for the assets or liabilities, either directly or indirectly
● Level 3 – inputs to the valuation techniques are unobservable for the assets or liabilities

The following tables present the Company’s financial assets measured at fair value based upon the level within the fair value hierarchy in which the fair value measurements are classified, as of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

Fair value at September 30, 2019 Valuation technique Unobservable input Value
Notes receivable $ 1,812 Discounted cash flow Default percentage 72 %
Discount rate 18 %

During 2011, the Company entered into certain unsecured notes receivable arrangements with CDF2 Holdings, LLC pertaining to the sale and installation of digital projection equipment. The notes receivable accrue interest at a rate of 15% per annum. Interest not paid in any particular year is added to the principal and also accrues interest at 15%. The notes receivable are recorded at estimated fair value. In order to estimate the fair value, the Company reviews the financial position and estimated cash flows of the debtor of the notes receivable on a quarterly basis. The Company recorded ~~decreases~~a decrease to the fair value of the notes receivable of ~~approximately $0.5~~$2.2 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and ~~$42 thousand, respectively, recorded~~an increase to the fair value of the notes receivable of $1.0 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2018. The adjustments to the fair value of the notes receivable are included in other ~~expense in~~(expense) income on the Company’s condensed consolidated ~~statement~~statements of ~~operations during the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.~~operations.

The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Company’s notes receivable are discount rate and percentage of default. Significant increases (decreases) in any of these inputs in isolation would result in a significantly lower (higher) fair value measurement.

The Company’s short-term and long-term debt is recorded at historical cost. As of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2019, the Company’s long-term debt, including current maturities, had a carrying value of ~~$4.6~~$4.3 million. Based on discounted cash flows using current quoted interest rates (Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy), the estimated fair value at ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2019 was ~~$4.1~~$3.8 million.
The carrying values of all other financial assets and liabilities, including accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses and short-term debt, reported in the condensed consolidated balance sheets equal or approximate their fair values due to the short-term nature of these instruments. Note 6 includes fair value information related to our equity and cost method investments. All non-financial assets that are not recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis, which include non-financial long-lived assets, are measured at fair value in certain circumstances (for example, when there is evidence of impairment). ~~The~~During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Company recorded impairment charges of $0.8 million and $2.1 million, respectively, related to the abandonment of internally developed software intangible assets as a loss on disposal of assets in the condensed consolidated statement of operations. Other than the intangible asset impairment, the Company did not have any significant non-recurring measurements of non-financial assets or liabilities during the three and nine months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2019 or 2018.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842),” which was further clarified by ASU 2018-11, “Leases – Targeted Improvements,” issued in July 2018. ASU 2016-02 requires lessees to recognize a lease liability and a right-to-use asset for all leases, including operating leases, with a term greater than twelve months, on its balance sheet. This ASU is effective in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 and initially required a modified retrospective transition method under which entities would initially apply Topic 842 at the beginning of the earliest period presented in the financial statements. ASU 2018-11 added an additional optional transition method allowing entities to apply Topic 842 as of the adoption date and recognize a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption. The Company adopted Topic 842 using the optional transition method from ASU 2018-11 as of January 1, 2019. Upon adoption, the Company recorded a balance sheet gross-up of approximately $4.7 million to record operating lease liabilities and related right-of-use assets. In addition, the sale-leaseback of the Company’s Alpharetta, Georgia office facility in June 2018, which did not qualify for sale-leaseback accounting under the previous lease accounting standard, qualified for sale-leaseback accounting under Topic 842, as Topic 842 eliminated the concept of continuing involvement by the seller-lessee precluding sale-leaseback accounting. Upon adoption, the Company recorded a cumulative effect adjustment increasing retained earnings by approximately $2.8 million, which represents the gain on the sale of the facility. The Company also derecognized approximately $4.0 million of net land and building assets and approximately $6.8 million of debt associated with the previous accounting as a failed sale-leaseback and recorded approximately $5.0 million of operating lease right-of-use assets and liabilities for the leaseback under Topic 842. See Note 11 for more information about the Company’s leases.

In August 2018, the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) adopted the final rule under SEC Release No. 33-10532, “Disclosure Update and Simplification,” amending certain disclosure requirements that were redundant, duplicative, overlapping, outdated or superseded. In addition, the amendments expanded the disclosure requirements on the analysis of stockholders’ equity for interim financial statements. Under the amendments, an analysis of changes in each caption of stockholders’ equity presented in the balance sheet must be provided in a note or separate statement. The analysis should present a reconciliation of the beginning balance to the ending balance of each period for which a statement of comprehensive income is required to be filed. The final rule is effective for all filings made on and after November 5, 2018. Given the effective date and proximity to most filers’ quarterly reports, the SEC did not object to filers deferring the presentation of changes in stockholders’ equity in their quarterly reports on Forms 10-Q until the quarter beginning after November 5, 2018. The Company elected to provide the required disclosure in a separate statement of stockholders’ equity beginning with ~~this~~ Form ~~10-Q.~~10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2019.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, “Intangibles -– Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment.” The new guidance eliminates Step 2 of the goodwill impairment testing which requires the fair value of individual assets and liabilities of a reporting unit to be determined when measuring goodwill impairment. The new guidance may result in different amounts of impairment that could be recognized compared to existing guidance. In addition, failing step 1 of the impairment test may not result in impairment under existing guidance. However, under the revised guidance, failing step 1 will always result in a goodwill impairment. ASU 2017-04 is to be applied prospectively for goodwill impairment testing performed in years beginning after December 15, 2019 with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2017-04 in the first quarter of 2019. Adoption of ASU 2017-04 did not significantly impact the Company’s results of operations or financial position.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments.” This ASU will require the measurement of all expected credit losses for financial assets, including trade receivables, held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts. The guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019 and interim periods within those fiscal years. In July 2019, the FASB announced its intention to propose an extended effective date of January 1, 2023 for adoption of the ASU by smaller reporting companies. In October 2019, the FASB voted in favor of finalizing its proposal to defer the effective date of this standard. Subject to any additional guidance or clarification from the FASB or the SEC, management believes the Company will qualify for this proposed deferral. The Company believes ~~its~~the adoption of this ASU will not significantly impact ~~the Company’s~~its results of operations and financial position.
3. Revenue

The Company accounts for revenue using the following steps:

● Identify the contract, or contracts, with a customer
● Identify the performance obligations in the contract
● Determine the transaction price
● Allocate the transaction price to the identified performance obligations
● Recognize revenue when, or as, the Company satisfies the performance obligations

The Company combines contracts with the same customer into a single contract for accounting purposes when the contracts are entered into at or near the same time and the contracts are negotiated as a single commercial package, consideration in one contract depends on the other contract, or the services are considered a single performance obligation. If an arrangement involves multiple performance obligations, the items are analyzed to determine the separate units of accounting, whether the items have value on a standalone basis and whether there is objective and reliable evidence of their standalone selling price. The total contract transaction price is allocated to the identified performance obligations based upon the relative standalone selling prices of the performance obligations. The standalone selling price is based on an observable price for services sold to other comparable customers, when available, or an estimated selling price using a cost plus margin approach. The Company estimates the amount of total contract consideration it expects to receive for variable arrangements by determining the most likely amount it expects to earn from the arrangement based on the expected quantities of services it expects to provide and the contractual pricing based on those quantities. The Company only includes some or a portion of variable consideration in the transaction price when it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur or when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved. The Company considers the sensitivity of the estimate, its relationship and experience with the client and variable services being performed, the range of possible revenue amounts and the magnitude of the variable consideration to the overall arrangement.

As discussed in more detail below, revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of promised goods or services under the terms of a contract and is measured as the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for transferring goods or providing services. The Company does not have any material extended payment terms as payment is due at or shortly after the time of the sale. Observable prices are used to determine the standalone selling price of separate performance obligations, or a cost plus margin approach is used when observable prices are not available. Sales, value-added and other taxes collected concurrently with revenue producing activities are excluded from revenue.

The Company recognizes contract assets or unbilled receivables related to revenue recognized for services completed but not yet invoiced to the clients. Unbilled receivables are recorded as accounts receivable when the Company has an unconditional right to contract consideration. A contract liability is recognized as deferred revenue when the Company invoices clients in advance of performing the related services under the terms of a contract. Deferred revenue is recognized as revenue when the Company has satisfied the related performance obligation.
Deferred contract acquisition costs are included in other assets. The Company defers costs to acquire contracts, including commissions, incentives and payroll taxes, if they are incremental and recoverable costs of obtaining a customer contract with a term exceeding one year. Deferred contract costs are reported within other assets and amortized to selling expense over the contract term, which generally ranges from one to five years. The Company has elected to recognize the incremental costs of obtaining a contract with a term of less than one year as a selling expense when incurred. The Company did not have any deferred contract costs as of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2019 or December 31, 2018.

Screen system sales

The Company recognizes revenue on the sale of its screen systems when control of the screen is transferred to the customer, usually at time of shipment. However, revenue is recognized upon delivery for certain international shipments with longer shipping transit time because control does not transfer to the customer until delivery. The cost of freight and shipping to the customer is recognized in cost of sales at the time of transfer of control to the customer.

Digital equipment sales

The Company recognizes revenue on sales of digital equipment when the control of the equipment is transferred, which occurs at the time of shipment from the Company’s warehouse or drop-shipment from a third party. The cost of freight and shipping to the customer is recognized in cost of sales at the time of transfer of control to the customer.

Field maintenance and monitoring services

The Company sells service contracts that provide maintenance and monitoring services to Strong Cinema and Convergent customers. In the Strong Cinema segment, these contracts are generally 12 months in length, while the term for service contracts in the Convergent segment can be for multiple years. Revenue related to service contracts is recognized over the term of the agreement in proportion to the costs incurred in fulfilling performance obligations under the contract.
~~The~~In addition to selling service contracts, the Company also performs discrete time and materials-based maintenance and repair work for customers in the Strong Cinema and Convergent segments. Revenue related to time and materials-based maintenance and repair work is recognized at athe point in time when the performance obligation has been fully satisfied.

Installation services

The Company performs installation services for both its Strong Cinema and Convergent customers and recognizes revenue upon completion of the installations.
Extended warranty sales

The Company sells extended warranties to its Strong Cinema customers. When the Company is the primary obligor, revenue is recognized on a gross basis over the term of the extended warranty in proportion to the costs incurred in fulfilling performance obligations under the extended warranty. In third party extended warranty sales, the Company is not the primary obligor, and revenue is recognized on a net basis at the time of the sale.

Advertising

Strong Outdoor sells advertising space on top of taxicabs. Advertising revenue is recognized ratably over the contracted advertising periods.

4. Loss Per Common Share

Basic loss per share has been computed on the basis of the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding. Diluted loss per share would be computed on the basis of the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding after giving effect to potential common shares from dilutive stock options and certain non-vested shares of restricted stock and restricted stock units. However, because the Company reported losses in ~~both~~all periods presented, there were no differences between average shares used to compute basic and diluted loss per share for ~~either of~~ the three ~~month periods~~and nine months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2019 and 2018. The following table summarizes the weighted average shares used to compute basic and diluted loss per share:

~~Options~~For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, options to purchase ~~833,500 and 490,000~~772,000 shares of common stock were outstanding ~~as of March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively,~~ but were not included in the computation of diluted loss per share as the option’s exercise price was greater than the average market price of the common shares for each period. An additional ~~20,994~~165,206 and ~~129,525~~146,461 common stock equivalents related to options and restricted stock awards were excluded for the three and nine months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2019, respectively, as their inclusion would be anti-dilutive, thereby decreasing the net losses per share. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, options to purchase 330,000 shares of common stock were outstanding but were not included in the computation of diluted loss per share as the option’s exercise price was greater than the average market price of the common shares for each period. An additional 63,398 and 166,391 common stock equivalents related to options and restricted stock awards were excluded for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively, as their inclusion would be anti-dilutive, thereby decreasing the net losses per share.

7Cost Method Investment
On May 21, 2019, SDM entered into a Taxicab Advertising Collaboration Agreement (the “Commercial Agreement”) and a Unit Purchase Agreement (the “Unit Purchase Agreement”) with Firefly Systems, Inc. (“Firefly”), pursuant to which SDM has agreed to make available to Firefly 300 digital taxi tops and the parties have agreed to coordinate the fulfilling of SDM’s agreements with the Metropolitan Taxicab Board of Trade, Inc. (“MTBOT”) and Creative Mobile Media, LLC (“CMM”), each dated February 8, 2018. Firefly has agreed to fulfill the digital taxi top advertising obligations under the MTBOT agreement and CMM agreement, and SDM has agreed to fulfill the non-digital taxi top advertising obligations under the MTBOT agreement and CMM agreement. The Company is a party to the Unit Purchase Agreement and has agreed to guarantee the payment obligations of SDM under the Commercial Agreement. As consideration for entering into these agreements, the Company received $4.8 million of Firefly’s Series A-2 preferred shares (“Firefly Shares”). The Firefly Shares, including those subsequently issued pursuant to an earn-out provision (if any), will be subject to a repurchase option for a period of three years to cover SDM’s indemnity obligations and other post-closing covenants under the Commercial Agreement and the Unit Purchase Agreement. As a condition of the transaction, SDM has agreed to hold the Firefly Shares in an investment fund managed by Fundamental Global Investors, LLC, the controlling stockholder of the Company, that is wholly owned by SDM.
The 300 digital tops the Company has made available to Firefly are subject to a master equipment lease agreement the Company entered into during 2017. Pursuant to the master lease agreement and the Unit Purchase Agreement, the Company will remain the primary obligor until such time as the lease expires. In addition, of the $4.8 million of Firefly Shares received, $1.2 million are eligible for repurchase by Firefly if the Company does not exercise the purchase option contained within the master lease agreement. Accordingly, the Company has deferred recognizing an investment related to these Firefly Shares eligible for repurchase until such time it is reasonably certain the Company will exercise the purchase option. The transaction, in effect, transferred control of the underlying asset to Firefly. Therefore, the Company accounted for the transaction as a sales-type lease resulting in the derecognition of the $3.4 million right-of-use asset related to the master lease agreement and a selling profit of $0.2 million, which is recorded within other income (expense) on the condensed consolidated statement of operations. As additional consideration for the right to use the digital taxi tops, Firefly has agreed to pay for certain of Company’s operating expenses associated with the non-digital taxi tops. The Company concluded the payments that Firefly will make on its behalf are considered variable payments and were not included in the calculation of the selling profit. Therefore, the Company will record the benefit and the related operating expenses in the period when the changes in facts and circumstances on which the variable lease payments are based occur.

Installment payments under each contract for purchase of the equipment are due monthly for a period of 60 months. The financing provided in the agreement is secured by the equipment, and the obligations under the agreement are recorded as long-term debt on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet. In December 2018, Convergent entered into additional installment payment agreements with other financing companies in order to purchase additional media players and related equipment. This round of financing totaled approximately $0.6 million. In June 2019, Convergent entered into additional installment payment agreements with other financing companies in order to purchase additional media players and related equipment.

The financing under the agreements is secured by the equipment. The borrowings under the agreements are recorded as long-term debt on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. Collectively, the Company had ~~$4.6~~$4.3 million of outstanding borrowings under equipment term loan agreements at ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2019, which bear interest at a weighted-average fixed rate of ~~7.4%~~7.6%.

Strong/MDI Installment Loan

On September 5, 2017, the Company’s Canadian subsidiary, Strong/MDI, entered into a demand credit agreement with a bank consisting of a revolving line of credit for up to CDN$3.5 million subject to a borrowing base requirement, a 20-year installment loan for up to CDN$6.0 million and a 5-year installment loan for up to CDN$500,000. Amounts outstanding under the line of credit are payable on demand and ~~will~~ bear interest at the prime rate established by the lender. Amounts outstanding under the installment loans ~~will~~ bear interest at the lender’s prime rate plus 0.5% and are payable in monthly installments, including interest, over their respective borrowing periods. The lender may also demand repayment of the installment loans at any time. The Strong/MDI credit facilities are secured by a lien on Strong/MDI’s Quebec, Canada facility and substantially all of Strong/MDI’s assets. The credit agreement requires Strong/MDI to maintain a ratio of liabilities to “effective equity” (tangible stockholders’ equity, less amounts receivable from affiliates and equity method investments) not exceeding 2 to 1, a current ratio (excluding amounts due from related parties) of at least 1.5 to 1 and minimum “effective equity” of CDN$8.0 million.

On June 29, 2018, the Company and Convergent completed a sale-leaseback of Convergent’s Alpharetta, Georgia office facility. The transaction did not qualify for sale-leaseback accounting under the previous lease accounting standard and was accounted for as a financing liability. Upon adoption of ASC 842 during the first quarter of 2019, the Company derecognized approximately $6.8 million of debt associated with the previous accounting as a failed sale-leaseback. See Note 2 for additional details.

11. Leases

The Company and its subsidiaries lease plant and office facilities and equipment under operating and finance leases expiring through 2028. The Company determines if a contract is or contains a lease at inception or modification of a contract. A contract is or contains a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period in exchange for consideration. Control over the use of the identified asset means the lessee has both (a) the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from the use of the asset and (b) the right to direct the use of the asset.

Right-of-use assets and liabilities are recognized based on the present value of future minimum lease payments over the expected lease term at commencement date. Certain of the leases contain extension options; however, the Company has not included such options as part of its right-of-use assets and lease liabilities because it does not expect to extend the leases. The Company measures and records a right-of-use asset and lease liability based on the discount rate implicit in the lease, if known. In cases where the discount rate implicit in the lease is not known, the Company measures the right-of-use assets and lease liabilities using a discount rate equal to the Company’s estimated incremental borrowing rate for loans with similar collateral and duration.

The Company elected to not apply the recognition requirements of Topic 842 to leases of all classes of underlying assets that, at the commencement date, have a lease term of 12 months or less and do not include an option to purchase the underlying asset that the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise. Instead, lease payments for such short-term leases are recognized in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term and variable lease payments in the period in which the obligation for those payments is incurred.

The Company elected, as a lessee, for all classes of underlying assets, to not separate nonlease components from lease components and instead to account for each separate lease component and the nonlease components associated with that lease component as a single lease component.
The following tables present the Company’s lease costs and other lease information ~~as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2019~~ (dollars in thousands):

The Company leases certain equipment to customers as a component of its Digital Signage as a Service (“DSaaS”) offering. Under DSaaS, the Company provides support, maintenance and content management services in addition to the use of a media player to the customer. The Company elected, as a lessor, for all classes of underlying assets, to not separate nonlease components from lease components and, instead, to account for each separate lease component and the nonlease components associated with that lease component as a single component if the nonlease components otherwise would be accounted for under Accounting Standards Codification Topic 606 on revenue from contracts with customers, and both of the following conditions are met: 1) the timing and pattern of transfer for the lease component and nonlease components associated with that lease component are the same and 2) the lease component, if accounted for separately, would be classified as an operating lease in accordance with Topic 842. The combined component is accounted for as a single performance obligation under Topic 606 if the nonlease component or components are the predominant component(s) of the combined component. Otherwise, if the lease component is the predominant component, the combined component is accounted for as an operating lease under ASC 842. In the case of the Company’s DSaaS contracts, the nonlease components are predominant; therefore, revenue from DSaaS contracts is accounted for under Topic 606 and is included in net service revenues in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

12. Income Taxes

In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, the Company considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income. The Company considers the scheduled reversal of taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. A cumulative loss in a particular tax jurisdiction in recent years is a significant piece of evidence with respect to the realizability that is difficult to overcome. Based on the available objective evidence, including recent updates to the taxing jurisdictions generating income, the Company concluded that a valuation allowance should be recorded against all of the Company’s U.S. tax jurisdiction deferred tax assets as of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

The Company is subject to possible examinations not yet initiated for Federal purposes for fiscal years 2015 through ~~2017.~~2018. In most cases, the Company is subject to possible examinations by state or local jurisdictions based on the particular jurisdiction’s statute of limitations.

13. Stock Compensation

The Company recognizes compensation expense for all stock-based payment awards made to employees and directors based on estimated grant date fair values. Stock-based compensation expense included in selling and administrative expenses approximated ~~$0.2~~$0.3 million and ~~$0.3~~$0.2 million for the three ~~month periods~~months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and $0.8 million and $0.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.
The Company’s 2017 Omnibus Equity Compensation Plan (“2017 Plan”) was approved by the Company’s stockholders and provides the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors with the discretion to grant stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted shares, restricted stock units, performance shares, performance units and other stock-based awards and cash-based awards. Vesting terms vary with each grant and may be subject to vesting upon a “change in control” of the Company. The total number of shares authorized for issuance under the 2017 Plan is 1,371,189 shares, with ~~1,082,656~~391,778 shares remaining available for grant at ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2019.

22
Stock Options

The Company ~~did not grant options during the three month period ended March 31, 2019 and~~ granted a total of 295,000 and 387,500 stock options during the ~~three month period~~nine months ended ~~March 31, 2018.~~September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Options to purchase shares of common stock were granted with exercise prices equal to the fair value of the common stock on the date of grant.

The weighted average grant date fair value of stock options granted during the ~~three month period~~nine months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2019 and 2018 was ~~$1.82.~~$2.91 and $1.82, respectively. The fair value of each stock option granted was estimated on the date of grant using a Black-Scholes valuation model with the following weighted average assumptions:
2019 2018
Expected dividend yield at date of grant 0.00% 0.00%
Risk-free interest rate 1.62% - 1.98% 2.49%
Expected stock price volatility 47.9% - 50.6% 35.6%
Expected life of options (in years) 6.0 6.0

~~2018~~
~~Expected dividend yield at date of grant~~ ~~0.00~~ %
~~Risk-free interest rate~~ ~~2.49~~ %
~~Expected stock price volatility~~ ~~35.65~~ %
~~Expected life of options (in years)~~ ~~6.0~~

The risk-free interest rate assumptions were based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of the grant. Expected volatility is based on historical daily price changes of the Company’s stock for six years prior to the date of grant. The expected life of options is the average number of years the Company estimates that stock options will be outstanding.

Restricted Stock Shares and Restricted Stock Units

The Company granted a total of 417,378 and 147,500 restricted stock units during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The Company estimates the fair value of restricted stock awards based upon the market price of the underlying common stock on the date of grant.

14. Commitments, Contingencies and Concentrations

Litigation

The Company is involved, from time to time, in certain legal disputes in the ordinary course of business operations. No such disputes, individually or in the aggregate, are expected to have a material effect on the Company’s business or financial condition.

Concentrations

The Company’s top ten customers accounted for approximately ~~52%~~59% and 53% of total consolidated net revenues for the three and nine months ended ~~March 31, 2019.~~September 30, 2019, respectively. Trade accounts receivable from these customers represented approximately ~~42%~~53% of net consolidated receivables at ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2019. The Company had one customer account for more than 10% of its net revenues during the three and nine months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2019. In addition, the Company had ~~one customer~~two customers account for more than 10% of net consolidated receivables at ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2019. While the Company believes its relationships with such customers are stable, most arrangements are made by purchase order and are terminable at will by either party. A significant decrease or interruption in business from the Company’s significant customers could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations. The Company could also be adversely affected by such factors as changes in foreign currency rates and weak economic and political conditions in each of the countries in which the Company sells its products.
Financial instruments that potentially expose the Company to a concentration of credit risk principally consist of accounts receivable. The Company sells product to a large number of customers in many different geographic regions. To minimize credit risk, the Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition.

Insurance Recoveries

During February 2019, one portion of Strong/MDI’s Quebec, Canada facility sustained damage as a result of inclement weather. In connection with the damage to the facility, during the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Company incurred costs of (i) $0.1 million to write off the net book value of property and equipment and inventories and (ii) $0.3 million of salaries, debris removal, temporary facilities and other incremental operating expenses. The Company has property and casualty and business interruption insurance and has been working with its insurance carrier with regard to the insurance claims for reimbursement of incurred costs of the affected portion of the facility and compensation for the Company’s business interruption losses.

The insurance company has informed the Company that isit has established preliminary loss reserves for both property and casualty claims and business interruption ~~claims totaling in excess of CDN$5.0 million. Those~~claims. However, those claims reserves are estimates based on preliminary information and are subject to change as the insurance carrier completes its analyses and continues ~~their~~its claims review process over the next several months. The ultimate amount of insurance proceeds to be received by the Company could be significantly different than the insurance company’s reserve estimates. During the ~~quarter~~nine months ended ~~March, 31,~~September 30, 2019, the insurance carrier advanced ~~$0.2~~$1.8 million of insurance proceeds to the ~~Company. The~~Company, which includes $1.2 million related to the property and casualty claim and the remaining $0.6 million related to our business interruption claim. Any additional future claims payments are at the discretion of the insurance carrier ~~has also informed the Company that a second advance payment of CDN$1.5 million is in process, which the Company expects to receive in the second quarter of 2019.~~based on its continuing claims analysis.

For the ~~three~~nine months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2019, the Company recorded total insurance recoveries of its incurred costs totaling ~~$0.4~~$0.8 million. Of the $0.8 million of ~~which $0.2~~insurance recoveries during the nine months ended September 30, 2019, $0.6 million ~~had been received prior~~related to ~~March 31, 2019~~the property and casualty claim and $0.2 million ~~which was included in Accounts Receivable on our condensed consolidated balance sheet.~~related to the business interruption claim. Those recoveries offset the operating costs detailed above, and effectively offset the incremental costs incurred by the Company in the first ~~quarter.~~nine months of 2019. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company recorded a gain of $0.7 million related to its property and casualty claim. The remaining $0.4 million of proceeds received in connection with the business interruption claim has been recorded within accrued expenses on the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2019. Recovery of lost ~~revenue and~~ profit under the business interruption coverage will be reflected in future periods as contingencies are resolved and the amounts are confirmed ~~and received from~~with the insurer.

15. Business Segment Information

The Company conducts its operations through three primary business segments: Strong Cinema, Convergent and Strong Outdoor. Strong Cinema is one of the largest manufacturers of premium projection screens and also manufactures customized screen support systems, distributes other products and provides technical support services to the cinema, amusement park and other markets. Convergent delivers digital signage solutions and related services to large multi-location organizations in the United States and Canada.

The Company’s operating segments were determined based on the manner in which management organizes segments for making operating decisions and assessing performance. During the fourth quarter 2018, the Company separated its former Digital Media segment into separate Convergent and Strong Outdoor segments. All prior periods have been recast in our segment reporting to reflect the current segment organization.

Statements that are not historical are forward-looking and reflect expectations for future Company performance. For these statements, the Company claims the protection of the safe harbor for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.

Strong Cinema

Sales of Cinema products and services decreased 4.4% to $10.9 million in the third quarter of 2019 from $11.4 million in the third quarter of 2018. The decrease was primarily the result of a weather-related incident affecting our production facility in Quebec and a decrease in screen support systems, installation services and time and materials-based services, partially offset by an increase in non-recurring audio and projection system sales. As a result of excessive snow pack on the roof, a portion of the Quebec facility suffered damage that caused the facility to temporarily halt operations for several weeks in the first and second quarter of 2019 and relocate the affected operations to temporary areas of the plant. While operations resumed, we continued to experience inefficiencies while the affected portion of the building was demolished and rebuilt. The improved facility and new production equipment, which were covered by our insurance programs, are nearing completion and we expect will resume production in the fourth quarter of 2019.

Sales of Convergent products and services increased 30.3% to $4.5 million in the third quarter of 2019 from $3.5 million in the third quarter of 2018. The increase was driven primarily by the increased recurring revenue and installation revenue from the rollout of the DSaaS program to large enterprise customers. Revenue from the installation of other products also increased from the prior year due the timing of customer installation projects and the increase in new business.
Strong Outdoor
Revenues from advertising services were $1.3 million during the three months ended September 30, 2019 compared to $1.5 million during the three months ended September 30, 2018. The decrease in revenues during the quarter ended September 30, 2019 was due to the Firefly transaction as the digital taxitop revenues are no longer included in Strong Outdoors’s results of operations, which was partially offset by higher revenue from static taxitops during the third quarter of 2019.
Gross Profit
Gross profit during the quarter ended September 30, 2019 was $5.8 million compared to $3.5 million during the quarter ended September 30, 2018. As a percentage of revenue, gross profit improved to 34.5% for the quarter ended September 30, 2019 compared to 21.5% for the third quarter of 2018.

Gross profit in the Convergent segment was $1.5 million or 32.4% of revenues in the third quarter of 2019 compared to a gross loss of $0.1 million or 1.5% of revenues in the third quarter of 2018. The increase in gross profit was driven primarily by the increase in higher margin DSaaS revenue combined with positive impact of the cost reduction initiatives implemented in mid-2018. In addition, we incurred inventory write-offs and other non-recurring charges in 2018 related to the repositioning of the business and exiting of certain facilities and lines of business.

Strong Outdoor
Strong Outdoor generated a gross profit of $0.6 million in the third quarter of 2019 compared to a gross loss of $0.9 million in the third quarter of 2018. Gross profit improved during the third quarter of 2019 due to increased revenue from static tops and lower fixed operating costs, partially offset by reduced revenue from digital tops following the Firefly transaction.
Operating Income (Loss)
We generated operating income of $0.1 million in the third quarter of 2019 compared to an operating loss of $1.8 million in the third quarter of 2018.

Strong Cinema generated operating income of $2.2 million in the third quarter of 2019 compared to $3.4 million in the third quarter of 2018. The decrease in operating income was primarily due to the decline in revenues as discussed above.
Convergent generated operating income of $0.4 million in the third quarter of 2019 compared to an operating loss of $1.4 million in the third quarter of 2018. We restructured Convergent’s operations in mid-2018 to reduce operating costs, eliminate low/negative margin products, and to invest in growing our higher margin recurring revenue business lines.
Strong Outdoor generated an operating loss of $0.2 million in the third quarter of 2019 compared to an operating loss of $1.2 million in the third quarter of 2018. The decrease in operating loss was driven primarily by increased gross profit margins discussed above, partially offset by increased overhead and selling costs as the management and sales teams were brought on board in early 2019.
Unallocated administrative expenses increased to $2.1 million in the third quarter of 2019 compared to $1.7 million in the third quarter of 2018. The increase was driven primarily by higher stock-based compensation expense and employee compensation, partially offset by lower professional fees. Unallocated loss on disposal of assets consisted primarily of a $0.8 million loss on abandonment of an internally-developed software intangible asset in the third quarter of 2018.
Other Financial Items
For the third quarter of 2019, total other expense of $0.6 million primarily consisted of a $0.8 million fair value adjustment to our notes receivable and $0.3 million of interest expense, partially offset by a $0.4 million gain on our property and insurance claim for the weather-related incident at our production facility in Quebec and $0.1 million of foreign currency transaction adjustments. For the third quarter of 2018, total other income of $0.6 million primarily consisted of a $0.8 million fair value adjustment to our notes receivable, partially offset by $0.2 million of interest expense. The estimated fair market value of the notes receivable is subject to upward and downward revisions each quarter as more information becomes available to estimate the ultimate cash proceeds to be received by the Company in the future.
The third quarter of 2019 included equity method investment loss of $0.5 million, which consisted of a $0.8 million loss from PIH, partially offset by $0.3 million in income from Itasca. The losses from PIH were primarily the result of write-downs related to the reclassification of its homeowners’ insurance operations as discontinued operations. The income from Itasca was a result of a change in the market value of its investment in Limbach Holdings, Inc. (“Limbach”). The third quarter of 2018 included equity method investment income of $0.5 million, which primarily consisted of a gain of $0.4 million on the sale of BKTI common stock.
As a result of the items outlined above, we generated a net loss of $1.8 million and basic and diluted loss per share of $0.12 in the third quarter of 2019, compared to a net loss of $1.2 million and basic and diluted loss per share of $0.08 in the third quarter of 2018.

The decrease was primarily the result of a weather-related incident affecting our production facility in Quebec and a decrease in non-recurring audio and projection system sales. As a result of excessive snow pack on the roof, a portion of the Quebec facility suffered damage that caused the facility to temporarily halt operations for several weeks in the first ~~quarter~~nine months of 2019. The facility resumed operations in March and is producing and shipping product to its customers, although we ~~will~~ continue to experience inefficiencies while the affected portion of the building is being repaired. We have filed claims with our insurance carriers to recover lost revenues and profits as a result of the incident. Recoveries from business interruption will be recognized in future periods as those claims are processed and amounts are finalized and received. In addition, revenues from field service and equipment sales decreased due to large non-recurring projects in the first ~~quarter~~nine months of 2018 that did not repeat in 2019, as well as a reduction in non-recurring time and ~~materials based~~materials-based services.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

During the past several years, we have primarily met our working capital and capital resource needs from our operating cash flows and credit facilities. Our primary cash requirements involve operating expenses, working capital fluctuations, capital expenditures, and other general corporate activities. We incurred operating losses and negative operating cash flow in our Convergent business for the first three quarters of 2018, as we executed our plans to restructure that business to reduce operating costs and invest in higher margin recurring revenue. Convergent’s financial performance has improved significantly as a result of those actions and is now generating positive operating income and cash from operations. The startup of Strong Outdoor negatively impacted our cash flow as we ~~invest~~invested in building that business. Cash flow from Strong Cinema was historically used to fund operating expenses and startup costs in our other lines of business during 2018. Our capital expenditures during 2019 include costs incurred in the construction of the Strong Cinema production facility in Quebec that sustained damage as a result of inclement weather. The purchase of equipment in connection with the expansion of our Convergent business operations has recently been funded via term loan borrowings and capital leases, and we may continue to do so.

As of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2019, we had cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash of ~~$5.3~~$4.7 million compared to $7.0 million at December 31, 2018. Of the ~~$5.3~~$4.7 million, ~~$1.7~~$1.5 million was held by our Canadian subsidiary, Strong/MDI, and $0.4 million was restricted.

We believe that our existing sources of liquidity, including cash and cash equivalents, operating cash flow, credit facilities, equity investments, receivables and other assets will be sufficient to meet our projected capital needs for the foreseeable future. However, our ability to continue to meet our capital requirements will depend on, among other things, our ability to achieve anticipated levels of revenues and cash flow from operations, our ability to manage costs and working capital successfully and the continued availability of financing, if needed. See Note 10, Debt to the condensed consolidated financial statements for a description of our debt as of September 30, 2019.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

Net cash ~~used in~~provided by operating activities was ~~$1.4~~$0.4 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2019. Cash flows generated by Strong Cinema and Convergent and improvements in working capital were partially offset by the ~~first three months of 2019. The~~ operating loss generated by Strong Outdoor and cash outflows for selling and administrative expenses. Net cash used in operating activities was $8.8 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2018. The operating loss generated by Strong Outdoor and Convergent, cash outflows for selling and administrative expenses and changes in working capital were partially offset by the operating income and cash flows generated by Strong ~~Cinema and Convergent and improvements in working capital.~~Cinema.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities was ~~$0.2~~$1.6 million induring the ~~first three~~nine months ofended September 30, 2019, consisting of ~~$0.3~~$1.7 million of capital expenditures, partially offset by $0.1 million of proceeds received from the disposal of assets. Net cash ~~used in~~provided by investing activities was ~~$0.3~~$3.4 million in the ~~first three~~nine months of 2018, consisting primarily of $4.5 million of proceeds from our sale of BKTI common stock, partially offset by $1.2 million of capital expenditures.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

Net cash used in financing activities was ~~$0.1~~$1.2 million induring the ~~first quarter of~~nine months ended September 30, 2019, primarily consisting of ~~$0.3~~$1.5 million of principal payments on debt and capital lease obligations, partially offset by $0.2 million of proceeds from the issuance of long-term debt. Net cash ~~used in~~provided by financing activities induring the ~~first quarter of~~nine months ended September 30, 2018 was ~~$0.1~~$6.7 million, consisting primarily of $7.0 million of proceeds from the sale-leaseback of our Alpharetta, Georgia office facility and $3.2 million of proceeds from the issuance of short-term debt, partially offset by $3.5 million of principal payments on debt and capital ~~leases.~~
lease obligations, including approximately $3.0 million of short-term and long-term debt previously secured by the office facility that was repaid in conjunction with the sale-leaseback transaction.
Use of Non-GAAP Measures

We prepare our condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). In addition to disclosing financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP, the Company discloses information regarding Adjusted EBITDA, which differs from the term EBITDA as it is commonly used. In addition to adjusting net income (loss) to exclude taxes, interest, and depreciation and amortization, Adjusted EBITDA also excludes share-based compensation, impairment charges, equity method ~~income,~~income/loss, fair value adjustments, severance and transactional expenses and other non-cash charges.
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not measures of performance defined in accordance with GAAP. However, Adjusted EBITDA is used internally in planning and evaluating the Company’s operating performance. Accordingly, management believes that disclosure of these metrics offers investors, bankers and other stakeholders an additional view of the Company’s operations that, when coupled with the GAAP results, provides a more complete understanding of the Company’s financial results.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to net loss or to net cash used in operating activities as measures of operating results or liquidity. Our calculation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies, and the measures exclude financial information that some may consider important in evaluating the Company’s performance.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA have limitations as analytical tools, and you should not consider them in isolation, or as substitutes for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations are (i) they do not reflect our cash expenditures, or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments, (ii) they do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs, (iii) EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments, on our debt, (iv) although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future, and EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements, (v) they do not adjust for all non-cash income or expense items that are reflected in our statements of cash flows, (vi) they do not reflect the impact of earnings or charges resulting from matters we consider not to be indicative of our ongoing operations, and (vii) other companies in our industry may calculate these measures differently than we do, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures.

We believe EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA facilitate operating performance comparisons from period to period by isolating the effects of some items that vary from period to period without any correlation to core operating performance or that vary widely among similar companies. These potential differences may be caused by variations in capital structures (affecting interest expense), tax positions (such as the impact on periods or companies of changes in effective tax rates or net operating losses) and the age and book depreciation of facilities and equipment (affecting relative depreciation expense). We also present EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA because (i) we believe these measures are frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties to evaluate companies in our industry, (ii) we believe investors will find these measures useful in assessing our ability to service or incur indebtedness, and (iii) we use EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA internally as benchmarks to evaluate our operating performance or compare our performance to that of our competitors.

Hedging and Trading Activities

Our primary exposure to foreign currency fluctuations pertains to our subsidiary in Canada. In certain instances, we may enter into a foreign exchange contract to manage a portion of this risk. We do not have any trading activities that include non-exchange traded contracts at fair value.

Seasonality

Generally, our revenue and earnings fluctuate moderately from quarter to quarter. As we increase our sales in our current markets, and as we expand into new markets in different geographies, it is possible we may experience different seasonality patterns in our business. As a result, the results of operations for the three and nine months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for an entire fiscal year.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

See Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies to the condensed consolidated financial statements for a description of recently issued accounting pronouncements.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

In preparing our consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, management must make a variety of decisions which impact the reported amounts and the related disclosures. These decisions include the selection of the appropriate accounting principles to be applied and the assumptions on which to base accounting estimates. In making these decisions, management applies its judgment based on its understanding and analysis of the relevant circumstances and our historical experience.
Our accounting policies and estimates that are most critical to the presentation of our results of operations and financial condition, and which require the greatest use of judgments and estimates by management, are designated as our critical accounting policies. See further discussion of our critical accounting policies under Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for our year ended December 31, 2018. We periodically re-evaluate and adjust our critical accounting policies as circumstances change. Other than policies related to the adoption of ASC 842 as described in Note 2 to the condensed consolidated financial statements, there were no significant changes in our critical accounting policies during the ~~three~~nine months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2019.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Not applicable as we are a “smaller reporting company.”

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

The Company carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Securities Exchange Act Rule 13a-15. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that as of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures ~~are~~were effective at ensuring that information required to be disclosed in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (as amended) is (1) accumulated and communicated to management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures and (2) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. There have been no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the fiscal quarter covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, such internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. Other Information

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

In the ordinary course of business operations, we are involved, from time to time, in certain legal disputes. No such disputes, individually or in the aggregate, are expected to have a material effect on our business or financial condition.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Item 1A “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 includes a detailed discussion of the Company’s risk factors. There have been no material changes to the risk factors as previously disclosed.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

On August 20, 2015, we announced that our Board of Directors adopted a stock repurchase program authorizing the repurchase of up to 700,000 shares of our outstanding Common Stock pursuant to a plan adopted under Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (as amended). The repurchase program has no expiration date. There were no repurchases during the three months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2019. As of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2019, there were 636,931 shares that may yet be purchased under the stock repurchase program.
