PART 1I – FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Item 1. Financial Statements.

In our opinion, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the interim periods presented. We have consolidated such financial statements in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Therefore, such financial statements do not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. In preparing these unaudited consolidated financial statements, the Company has evaluated events and transactions for potential recognition or disclosure through the date the unaudited consolidated financial statements were issued by filing with the SEC.

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2021 should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020 included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the SEC on March 25, 2021.

The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2021.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For Thethe Three and Nine Month Periods Ended March 31,September 30, 2021 and 2020

During the threenine month period ended March 31,September 30, 2021, the Company experienced anhad operating income of $275,031,$1,817,960, with cash generated by operating activities of $4,291,066.$3,297,125.  During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company experienced an operating loss of $424,281, with cash used in operating activities of $250,173.

The Company’s revenue growth during the prior year2020, slowed due to the effects of COVID-19.  However, resulting fromthrough a reduction in force and strict cost containment, the Company has beenwas able to mitigate the effects, to some degree, of the reduced revenue attributable to the economic impact of COVID-19.

In March 2020,11


Despite global efforts to slow the World Health Organization declaredspread of the outbreak of COVID-19, a global pandemicvirus and the United States federal government declared it a national emergency. to mitigate its effects, COVID-19 continues to impact worldwide economic activity. A public healthactivity, and the ongoing effects of the COVID-19 pandemic includinghas adversely impacted, and may continue to adversely impact, many aspects of our business. In response to the COVID-19 posespandemic, many state, local, and foreign governments have put in place restrictions in order to control the riskspread of the disease. Such restrictions, or the perception that further restrictions could occur, have resulted in business closures, work stoppages, slowdowns, delays, work-from-home policies, travel restrictions, and cancellation or postponement of events, among other effects that impacted productivity and disrupted our operations and those of our partners, suppliers, contractors, and customers.

One way that COVID-19 has directly affected our operations is that we have experienced increased pricing and/or shortages of certain parts and supplies that are necessary components to the products and services we offer to our employees, contractors, customers, suppliers, and other partnersas a result, are experiencing longer lead-times. COVID-19 has indirectly affected our operations as well. For instance, some of our customers experienced downturns or uncertainty in their own business operations and revenue, and as a result, these customers have (and may be prevented from conducting business activities for an indefinite periodcontinue to) decreased or delayed their technology spending, requested pricing concessions or payment extensions, or seek to renegotiate their contracts. For example, one of time, including due to shutdownsour customers that may be requested or mandated by governmental authorities.  

More generally, COVID-19 raises the possibility of an extended global economic downturn, which could affect demand foruses our products and services in their business operations operates in the live event space, such as music festivals and concerts. Due to measures implemented by local and state governments to restrict public gatherings in order to stop and/or prevent the spread of COVID-19, our customer was unable to generate revenue at previous levels during these times, and as a result, we provided extended payment terms for the collection of our accounts receivables for this particular customer during the pandemic. However, all past due accounts receivables owed by this particular customer have now been received by the Company.    

During the pandemic, as state, local, and foreign governments implemented (and may continue to implement) preventative measures to contain or mitigate the outbreak of COVID-19, the usage of our products and services fluctuated following such implementation, and we cannot predict how usage levels will continue to be impacted by these preventative measures. There is no assurance that customers will continue to use our products and services, or to the same extent, as the COVID-19 pandemic begins to taper off or when it will end. As a result, it has been difficult to accurately forecast our revenues or financial results, especially given that the near and long term impact of the pandemic remains uncertain. In addition, while the potential impact and duration of the COVID-19 pandemic on the economy and our business in particular may be difficult to assess or predict, the pandemic has resulted in, and may continue to result in, significant disruption of global financial markets, and may reduce our ability to access additional capital, which could negatively affect our liquidity in the future. Our results of operations could be materially below our forecasts as well, which could adversely affect our results of operations, disappoint analysts and financial condition even after the pandemic is contained and remediation/restriction measures are lifted. For example, we may be unableinvestors, or cause our stock price to collect receivables from customers that are significantly impacted by COVID-19. Also,decline.

Furthermore, a decrease in orders in a given period could negatively affect our revenues in future periods. The COVID-19 pandemic may also have the effect of heightening many of the other risks described in the “Risk Factors” section of our December 31, 2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed March 25, 2021, including risks associated with our customers and supply chain. We willmay take further actions that alter our operations as may be required by federal, state, or local authorities, or which we determine are in our best interests. While much of our operations can be performed remotely, certain activities often require personnel to be on-site, and our ability to carry out these activities has been, and may continue to evaluatebe negatively impacted if our employees or local personnel are not able to travel. In addition, for activities that may be conducted remotely, there is no guarantee that we will be as effective while working remotely because our team is dispersed and many employees and their families have been negatively affected, mentally or physically, by the natureCOVID-19 pandemic. Decreased effectiveness and availability of our team could harm our business. In addition, we may decide to postpone or cancel planned investments in our business in response to changes in our business as a result of the spread of COVID-19, which may impact our ability to attract and retain customers and our rate of innovation, either of which could harm our business.

We do not yet know the full extent of the impact of COVID-19 topotential delays or impacts on our business.

Presently, it is clearbusiness, operations, or the global economy as a whole. Currently, we are experiencing unavailability of product and limited supplies, protracted delivery dates for componentry, increasing product costs, and changes in minimum order quantities to secure product.  As a result, the Company is carrying increased inventory balances to ensure availability of product and to secure pricing.  Additionally, work-in-process and finished goods inventory has been negatively impacted by COVID-19,increasing as the timing of availability of certain componentry to the production line has varied from committed delivery dates from vendors.

12


While there have recently been vaccines developed and demand for some of our productsadministered, and servicescertain government orders and restrictions in particular cities, counties, and states have been reduced due to uncertainty andlifted as the economic impactspread of COVID-19. In particular, in the media and entertainment industry, demand for the use of outdoor media equipment has been impacted due to restrictions on public gatherings. Until such restrictions improve, we expect that demand for certain of our clients’ products and services will be limited, and may not return to prior levels, and thus, may impact our financial results and operations.

Specifically, our business has also begunCOVID-19 starts to be negatively affected by a rangecontained and mitigated, we cannot predict the timing of external factors related to COVID-19 that are not within our control. For example, numerous measures have been implemented by governmental authorities across the globe to containvaccine roll-out globally or the efficacy of such vaccines, including against variants of the virus, including travel bansand we do not yet know how businesses, customers, contractors, suppliers, or our partners will operate in a post COVID-19 environment, especially if additional or supplemental governmental orders, limitations, and restrictions quarantines, shelter-in-place orders, restrictions and limitations of public gatherings, and business limitations and shutdowns. Many of our customers’ businesses have been severely impacted by these measures and some have been requiredare reinstated. There may be additional costs or impacts to reduce employee headcount as a result. If a significant number of our customers are unable to continue as a going concern, this would have an adverse impact on our business and financial condition.operations, including when we are able to resume in-person activities, travel, and events. In addition, manythere is no guarantee that a future outbreak of our customers are working remotely,this or any other widespread epidemics will not occur, or that the global economy will recover, either of which may delay the timing of new business and implementations of our services. If COVID-19 continues to have a substantial impact on our partners, customers, or suppliers, our results of operations and overall financial performance will be harmed.

Though management has been proactively managing through the current known impacts, if the situation further deteriorates or the outbreak results in further restriction on supply and demand factors, our cash flows, financial position and operating results for year 2021 and beyond will be negatively impacted. Neither the length of time nor the magnitude of the negative impacts can be presently determined.

The longer the COVID-19 pandemic persists, the greater the potential for significant adverse impact to our business operations.  Quarantines, travel restrictions, prohibitions on non-essential gatherings, shelter-in-place orders and other similar directives and policies intended to reduce the spread of the disease, may reduce our productivity and that of the third parties on which we rely and may disrupt and delay many aspects ofcould harm our business.

The Company is complying with state mandated requirements for safety in the workplace to ensure the health, safety and welling-being of our employees. These measures included personal protective equipment, social distancing, and cleanliness of the facilities and daily monitoring of the health of employees in our facilities.  We have not developed a specific and comprehensive contingency plan designed to address the challenges and risks presented by the COVID-19 pandemic, even if and when we do develop such a plan, there can be no assurance that such plan will be effective in mitigating the potential adverse effects on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

11


Management’s plans with respect to the above isare to continue itstheir efforts towards responding to the changing economic landscape attributable to COVID-19, to continue to reducecontrol costs, conserve cash, strengthen margins, and improve company-wide execution.  Specific actions already implemented in 2020, by management includein response to this effort included a reduction in force, a limited freeze on hiring, reduced work week, minimizingminimized overtime, travel and entertainment, and contractor costs.    On April 7, 2020, the Company implemented a cost reduction plan which included the termination of certain employees and elimination of certain costs.  Savings from this effort are estimated to be $2.5 million on an annual basis.

 

While management expects these actions to result in prospective cost reductions,containment, management is also committed to conserving cash, and securing debt and/or equity financing to ensure thatas required for liquidity will be sufficient to meet the Company’s cash requirements through at least a period of the next twelve months. Management believes potential sources of liquidity include at least the following:

 

 

In May 2019, the Company filed a registration statement on Form S-3 prospectus(Registration No. 333-231513) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) which became effective on June 19, 2019, and allows the Company to offer up to $100,000,000 aggregate dollar amountan aggregated of shares$100,000,000 of its common stock, preferred stock, debt securities, warrants to purchase its common stock, preferred stock or debt securities, subscription rights to purchase its common stock, preferred stock or debt securities and\or units consisting of some or all of these securities, in any combination, together or separately, in one or more offerings, in amounts, at prices and on the terms that the Company will determine at the time of the offering and which will be set forth in a prospectus supplement and any related free writing prospectus.

 

On April 24, 2020, the Company completed a $6.0 million debt financing on a non-interest bearing convertible note with a 10% original issue discount.  The first tranche of $3.0 million was received on April 27, 2020, with an additional $3.0 million available seven months from the date of closing at the option of the Company conditioned upon meeting certain requirements which have been satisfied.  The note is repayable in twenty-two installments beginning three months after closing in cash or shares of the Company’s common stock.

On March 1, 2021, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with an accredited investor, pursuant to which the Company agreed to issueissued and sell,sold, in a registered direct offering, 1,497,006 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, to the purchaser at an offering price of $6.68 per share. The registered offering was conducted pursuant to the Company’s effective shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (Registration No. 333-231513), which was initially filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 15, 2019; and was declared effective on June 19, 2019.discussed above.  As compensation for their services, the Company paid to the placement agents a fee equal to 7%7.0% of the gross proceeds received by the Company as a result of the registered offering, and reimbursed the placement agents for certain expenses incurred in connection with such offering. The net proceeds to the Company from the registered offering arewere approximately $9.2 million after deducting certain fees due to the placement agents’ and the Company’s transaction expenses. The net proceeds received by the Company will be used for general corporate and working capital purposes.

As a result of management’s cost reduction plans, the Company’s sources of liquidity and management’s most recent cash flow forecasts, management believes that the Company has sufficient liquidity to satisfy its anticipated cash requirements for at least the next twelve months. However, there can be no assurance that management’s cost reduction efforts will be effective, the forecasted cash flows will be achieved, or that external sources of financing, including the issuance of debt and/or equity securities, will be available at times and on terms acceptable to the Company, or at all.

In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.  Operating results for the three and nine months ended March 31,September 30, 2021, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2021.  For further information, refer to the audited consolidated financial statements and notes for the year ended December 31, 2020, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 25, 2021.

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of OSS, which include the acquisition of Concept Development Inc.,CDI, and its wholly owned subsidiary, OSS GmbH, which also includes the acquisition of Bressner Technology GmbH.Bressner.  Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

NOTE 2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

There have been no changes to our accounting policies disclosed in our audited consolidated financial statements and the related notes for the year ended December 31, 2020.2020, except for the addition of a definition of, and description of our policy for short-term investments as follows:

Short-term Investments

Short-term investments consist predominantly of commercial paper, corporate debt securities, U.S. Treasury securities, and asset-backed securities. The Company classifies short-term investments based on the facts and circumstances surrounding the investments at the time of purchase and evaluates such classification as of each balance sheet date. On September 30, 2021, all short-term investments were classified as available-for-sale.

Unrealized gains and losses for available-for-sale securities are included in accumulated other comprehensive income—a component of stockholders’ equity. Realized gains and losses are determined using the specific identification method and are included in other income (expense) in the consolidated statement of operations. The Company evaluates its investments to determine whether those with unrealized loss positions are other than temporarily impaired. Impairments are considered to be other than temporary if they are related to deterioration in credit risk or if it is likely that the Company will sell the securities before recovery of their cost basis. 

Use of Estimates

The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates and assumptions.

On an ongoing basis, our management evaluates these estimates and assumptions, including those related to determination of standalone selling prices of our products and services, allowance for doubtful account and sales reserves, income tax valuations, stock-based compensation, goodwill, intangible assets and inventory valuations and recoverability. We base our estimates on historical data and experience, as well as various other factors that our management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities.

 


As of March 31,September 30, 2021, we had approximately $3.6 million$3,604,607 in net deferred tax assets (DTAs)(“DTAs”). These DTAs include approximately $5.1$5.3 million related to net operating loss carryforwards that can be used to offset taxable income in future periods and reduce our income taxes payable in those future periods.  At this time, we consider it more likely than not that we will have sufficient taxable income in the future that will allow us to realize these DTAs. However, it is possible that economic conditions may decrease the likelihood that we will have sufficient taxable income in the future. Therefore, unless we are able to generate sufficient taxable income from our operations, a substantial valuation allowance to reduce our U.S. DTAs may be required, which would materially increase our expenses in the period the allowance is recognized and materially adversely affect our results of operations and statement of financial condition.

 

On March 11, 2021, Congress passed, and the President signed into law, the American Rescue Plan Act, 2021 (the “ARP”), which includes certain business tax provisions.At this point, we do not believe that these changes will have a material impact on our income tax provision for 2021. We will continue to evaluate the impact of new legislation on our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows.

13


Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, there has been uncertainty and disruption in the global economy and financial markets. We are not aware of any specific event or circumstance that would require an update to our estimates or assumptions or a revision of the carrying value of our assets or liabilities as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. These estimates and assumptions may change as new events occur and additional information is obtained. As a result, actual results could differ materially from these estimates and assumptions.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (“ASU 2016-02”).  Under ASU 2016-02, lessees will be required to recognize the following for all leases (with the exception of short-term leases) at the commencement date: a lease liability, which is a lessee’s obligation to make lease payments arising from a lease, measured on a discounted basis; and a right-of-use asset, which is an asset that represents the lessee’s right to use, or control the use of, a specified asset for the lease term.  ASU 2016-02 is effective for the Company for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, and interim periods within fiscal year 2023.  Early application is permitted.  Lessees must apply a modified retrospective transition approach for leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements.  The modified retrospective approach would not require any transition accounting for leases that expired before the earliest comparative period presented.  Lessees may not apply a full retrospective transition approach.  The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2016-02 on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures.  Based on our preliminary analysis, management expects the Company’s assets and liabilities to increase by the present value of the lease payments.payments of approximately $1,256,000 with implementation as of January 1, 2022.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. ASU 2016-13 amends the guidance on the impairment of financial instruments. This update adds an impairment model (known as the current expected credit losses model) that is based on expected losses rather than incurred losses. Under the new guidance, an entity recognizes, as an allowance, its estimate of expected credit losses. In November 2019, ASU 2016-13 was amended by ASU 2019-10 that changed the effective date of ASU 2016-13 to fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, with early adoption permitted. Further, the ASU clarifies that operating lease receivables are not within the scope of ASC Subtopic 326-20 and should instead be accounted for under the new leasing standard, ASC 842. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2016-13 on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

This ASU aligns much of the guidance on measuring and classifying nonemployee awardsinvestments in accordance with that of awards to employees. Under the new guidance, the measurement of nonemployee equity awards is fixed on the grant date. This ASU became effective for the year ended December 31, 2020 (and interim periods in 2021).  ASU 2018-07 did not materially impact the Company’s consolidated financial statements.investment policy.

 

In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASU 2014-09”). ASU 2014-09 supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in FASB Topic 605, Revenue Recognition. ASU 2014-09 implements a five-step process for customer contract revenue recognition that focuses on transfer of control, as opposed to transfer of risk and rewards.  This guidance provides a single, comprehensive accounting model for revenue arising from contracts with customers. This guidance supersedes most of the existing revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. Under this model, revenue is recognized at an amount that a company expects to be entitled to upon transferring control of goods or services to a customer, as opposed to when risks and rewards transfer to a customer. The new guidance also requires additional disclosures about the nature, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flow arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments. We adopted this standard beginning January 1, 2019 and used the modified retrospective method of adoption. Under the new guidance, based on the nature of our contracts, we continued to recognize revenue in a similar manner as with the former guidance.  Accordingly, the adoption of this standard did not significantly impact our revenues.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments (“ASU 2016-15”), which is intended to reduce the existing diversity in practice in how certain cash receipts and cash payments are classified in the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-15 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted, provided that all of the amendments are adopted in the same period. The Company’s adoption of this guideline did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

  In July 2017, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2017-11, Accounting for financial instruments with down rounds features (“ASU 2017-11”), which addressed (i) accounting for certain financial instruments with down round features, and (ii) replacement of the indefinite deferral for mandatorily redeemable financial instruments of certain nonpublic entities and certain mandatorily redeemable non-controlling interests with a scope exception. The main provisions of Part I of ASU 2017-11 are to change the classification analysis of certain equity-linked financial instruments and embedded features with down round features. When determining whether certain financial instruments should be classified as liabilities or equity instruments, a down round feature no longer precludes equity classification when assessing whether the instrument is indexed to an entity’s own stock. The amendments also clarify existing disclosure requirements for equity-classified instruments. As a result, a freestanding equity-linked financial instrument or embedded conversion option no longer would be accounted for as a derivative liability at fair value as a result of the existence of a down round feature. For freestanding equity classified financial instruments, the amendments require entities that present earnings per share (EPS) to recognize the effect of the down round feature when it is triggered. That effect is treated as a dividend and as a reduction of income available to common shareholders in basic EPS. Under previous US GAAP, the existence of down round features often result in an accounting conclusion that the evaluated feature or instrument is not indexed to the entity’s own stock, which results in classification as a derivative liability. ASU 2017-11 was adopted early by the Company on April 1, 2020, with no adjustments. The Company’s April 2020 convertible note payable described in Note 7 possesses down round features.

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (“ASU 2019-12”), an amendment to the guidance on income taxes, which is intended to simplify the accounting for income taxes. The amendment eliminates certain exceptions related to the methodology for calculating income taxes on an interim period, the approach for intra-period tax allocation, and the recognition of deferred tax liabilities for outside basis differences. The amendment also clarifies existing guidance related to the recognition of franchise tax, the evaluation of a step up in the tax basis of goodwill, and the effects of enacted changes in tax laws or rates in the effective tax rate computation, among other clarifications. The effective date of the standard is annual periods beginning after December 15, 2021, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, with early adoption permitted. The Company elected to early adopt ASU 2019-12 prospectively as of July 1, 2020, which did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements, except for the elimination of the rule that limited the interim tax benefit to the tax benefit expected for the year. The early adoption resultedtypically invests in the Company recording an additional interim tax benefit of $446,099 for the three months ended September 30, 2020.  The adoption did not impact the Company’s annual income tax benefit or expense for the year ended December 31, 2020 orhighly rated securities and its investment policy limits the amount of net deferredcredit exposure to any 1 issuer. The policy requires investments in fixed income tax assets asinstruments denominated and payable in U.S. dollars only and requires investments to be investment grade, with a primary objective of March 31, 2021. The Company mademinimizing the election to early adopt because, consistent with the FASB, it believes that it will reduce the time and cost associated with income tax accounting and reporting, while not adversely altering the information provided to stakeholders on an interim basis.  potential risk of principal loss.

Paycheck Protection Program Loan

On April 28, 2020, One Stop Systems, Inc.the Company received authorization pursuant to the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP)(“PPP”) of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”) as administered by the U.S. Small Business Administration (the “SBA”) for a “PPP” loan. On May 11, 2020, the Loan was funded, and the Company received proceeds in the amount of $1,499,360 (the “PPP Loan”).

The PPP Loan, which took the form of a two-year promissory note (the “PPP Note”), matures on April 28, 2022 and bears interest at a rate of 1.0% per annum. Monthly principal and interest payments, less the amount of any potential forgiveness (discussed below), was initially to commence on October 28, 2020. The Company did not provide any collateral or guarantees for the PPP Loan, nor did the Company pay any facility charge to obtain the PPP Loan. The PPP Note provides for customary events of default, including, among others, those relating to failure to make payment, breaches of any term, obligation, covenant, or condition contained in the PPP Note and payment of unauthorized expenses or use of proceeds contrary to CARES Act rules. The Company may prepay the principal of the PPP Loan at any time without incurring any prepayment charges.

19


Under the original rules, all or a portion of the PPP Loan may be forgiven by the SBA and lender upon application by the Company beginning 60 days but not later than 120 days, after loan approval and upon documentation of expenditures in accordance with the SBA requirements. Under the CARES Act, loan forgiveness is available for the sum of documented payroll costs, covered rent payments, and covered utilities during the eight-week period beginning on the date of loan approval. For purposes of the CARES Act, payroll costs exclude compensation of an individual employee in excess of $100,000, prorated annually. Not more than 25% of the forgiven amount may be for non-payroll costs. Forgiveness is reduced if full-time headcount declines, or if salaries and wages for employees with salaries of $100,000 or less annually are reduced by more than 25%. In the event the PPP Loan, or any portion thereof, is forgiven pursuant to the PPP, the amount forgiven is applied to outstanding principal.

18


However, the Paycheck Protection Program Flexibility Act of 2020 (the “PPP Flexibility Act”), enacted on June 5, 2020, amended the original rules governing loans granted under the PPP to provide, among others,other changes, as follows: (i) the time period to spend the received funds was extended from the original eight weeks to twenty-four weeksfrom the date the PPP Loan was originated, during which PPP funds need to be expended in order to be forgiven; (ii) at least 60% of PPP funds must be spent on payroll costs, with the remaining 40% available to spend on other eligible expenses; (iii) payments are deferred until the date on which the amount of forgiveness determined is remitted to the lender, and if a borrower fails to seek forgiveness within 10 months after the last day of its covered period, then payments will begin on the date that is 10 months after the last day of the covered period; and (iv) the PPP Flexibility Act modified the CARES Act by increasing the maturity date for loans made after the effective date from two years to a minimum maturity of five years from the date on which the borrower applies for loan forgiveness. Existing PPP loans made before the new legislation retain their original two-year term, but may be renegotiated between a lender and a borrower to match the 5-year term permitted under the PPP Flexibility Act.

The Company has submitted an application with the lender to forgive the PPP Loan, in accordance with SBA Procedural Notice, Control No. 5000-20057, effective as of October 2, 2020.  BecauseOn May 3, 2021, the Company expectsreceived notification from the SBA that its PPP loan to beLoan of $1,499,360, plus accrued interest of $14,994 had been fully forgiven and such amount has been recognized as other income in full, all related amounts have been presented as noncurrent liabilities (See Note 13).the consolidated statement of operations.

The initial investor purchased the notes for with a 10% original issue discount resulting inan aggregate purchase price of $2,700,000 at the initial closing.  The notes bear no0 interest rate (except upon event of default) and, unless earlier converted or redeemed, will mature on April 1, 2022.

Pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company had the right to consummate additional closings of up to an additional $3,000,000, subject to the prior satisfaction of certain closing conditions. This right expired effective April 20, 2021, and the Company may no longer consummate additional closings under the Securities Purchase Agreement.

The Notes are convertible at any time, in whole or in part, at the option of the investors, into shares of common stock at the initial conversion price of $2.50 per share. The conversion price is subject to adjustment for issuances of securities below the conversion price then in effect and for stock splits, combinations or similar events. If immediately following the close of business on the sixnine month anniversary of the issuance date of each note, the conversion price then in effect exceeds 135% of the volume weighted average price VWAP (the “Market Price”), the initial conversion price under any such note will be automatically lowered to the Market Price.

Commencing July 1, 2020, the Company has made monthly amortization payments equal to 1/22nd of the initial principal, any accrued and unpaid interest and late charges and any deferred or accelerated amount, of such note, which may be satisfied in cash at a redemption price equal to 105% of such installment amount (110% of such

20


installment amount on notes issued at additional closings).  As of March 31,September 30, 2021, the holder has elected to defer receipt of threetwelve installment payments as allowed per the agreement.

Subject to the satisfaction of certain equity conditions set forth in the notes, installment amounts may be satisfied in shares of our common stock, with such installment conversion at a conversion price equal to the lower of (i) the conversion price then in effect; and (ii) the greater of (x) the floor price of $1.00 (80% of the Nasdaq market price at date of purchase agreement) and (y) the lower of (I) 82.5% the volume weighted average price of our common stock on the trading day immediately before the applicable installment date and (II) 82.5% of the quotient of (A) the sum of the volume weighted average price of our common stock for each of the three (3) trading days with the lowest volume weighted average price of our common stock during the twenty (20) consecutive trading day period ending and including the trading day immediately prior to the applicable installment date, divided by (B) three (3). Shares of our common stock to be issued with respect to any such installment will be pre-delivered on the second trading day after the applicable installment notice date (as defined in the notes) with a true-up on the applicable installment date. The market value of any installment amount below the floor price will be cash settled on the applicable installment date.

Management evaluated the embedded conversion feature to determine whether bifurcation was required as a separate derivative liability.  Management first determined that the conversion feature was not within the scope of ASC 480. It then determined that the embedded derivative should be separated from the host instrument and accounted for as a derivative instrument because it met the criteria of ASC 815-15-25-1, primarily because the contract provides for delivery of an asset that puts the recipient in substantially the same position as net settlement.  However, in part due to the Company’s adoption of ASC 2017-11 on April 1, 2020, which allowed management to disregard the down round provisions of the conversion feature, management determined that a scope exception to derivative accounting existed by satisfying the additional conditions necessary for equity classification specified by ASC 815-10-15-74 and ASC 815-40-25.  As a result of management’s analysis, the conversion feature was not accounted for separately from the debt instrument and the Company will recognize the contingent beneficial conversion feature when, or if, such is triggered.

The original issue discount of 10% on the Senior Secured Convertible Note was recorded as a debt discount, decreasing the note payable.  This debt discount is amortized to interest expense using the effective interest rate method over the term of the loan.  For the three months ended March 31,September 30, 2021 and 2020, total debt discount amortization was $50,928,$26,285 and such amount is$61,518, respectively, and was $121,644 and $110,659 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.  Such amounts are included in interest expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

Debt issuance costs in the amount of $316,274 related to this indebtedness were deducted from the face value of the note.  Such costs are amortized to interest expense using the effective interest rate method over the term of the loan.  Total debt issuance costs amortized during the three months ended March 31,September 30, 2021 and 2020, was $53,690,$27,711 and such amount is$64,855, respectively, and $128,243 and $116,662 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.  Such amounts are included in interest expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

Debt Discount

The relative fair value of warrants issued in connection with the notes payable described above were recorded as debt discount, decreasing notes payable and related-party notes payable and increasing additional paid-in-capital on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.  The debt discounts are being amortized to interest expense over the term of the corresponding notes payable using the straight-line method, which approximates the effective interest method.

For the three month periodsmonths ended March 31,September 30, 2021 and 2020, total debt discount amortization was $7,519$0 and $7,520,$72,372, respectively, and suchwas $8,773 and $139,221 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.  Such amounts are included in interest expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

NOTE 89 – STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

The Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation filed on December 14, 2017, authorizes the Company to issue 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock and 50,000,000 shares of common stock.

Stock Options

 

Effective June 24, 2020, the Company entered into an employment agreement with Mr.David Raun to serve as the Company’s president and chief executive officer. Pursuant to the terms of the employment agreement, Mr. Raun is entitled to receive 412,125 restricted stock units (“RSUs”) that shall vest over three years, with one third of the RSUs vesting following the one-year anniversary of the date of grant, and the remaining RSUs vesting in four equal installments, commencing sixnine months after the one-year anniversary of the date of grant and every sixnine months thereafter until fully vested; and 412,125 Incentive Stock Options (“ISOs”) pursuant to the Company’s 2017 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended whereby the exercise price for the ISOs shall be no less than the fair market value of the Company’s common stock at the date of grant, ($2.14).

 


The ISOs shall vest at the end of each of the second and fourth quarters, the price of the Company’s common stock as of the end of quarter two or quarter four, as applicable, shall be determined using the ten-day trailing volume weighted average price (“VWAP”) after reporting of quarter two and quarter four earnings, as applicable.  The date of each such determination shall be referred to as a “Determination Date.”  If on any Determination Date the Company’s stock price has increased from the prior Determination Date, then a portion of the ISOs shall become vested.  The number of ISOs that shall become vested on a DeterminateDetermination Date is determined as follows: ((Price at Determination Date – Price at prior Determination Date) x 100) * 1,177.52 = Vested ISOs.  If on any Determination Date the Company’s stock price is $5.50 per share, all ISOs shall immediately become vested.  As of September 30, 2021, Mr. Raun’s ISOs are fully vested, but not exercised, based upon achievement of the specified performance objectives.

 

In the event, that Mr. Raun’s employment agreement is terminated for a reason other than “good cause” or for “good reason”, upon Mr. Raun, upon executingRaun’s execution of an effective waiver and release of claims, unvested RSUs shall accelerate so that an additional twelve (12) months of RSUs shall vest from the termination date.

Overview

 

One Stop Systems (OSS) designs, manufactures, and markets specialized high-performance computing modules and systems targeting edge deployments.  These specialized computers and storage products incorporate state-of-the art components and allow our customers to offer high-end computing capabilities (often embedded within their equipment) to their target markets. Edge computing is when data is processed/analyzed on devices, that is, at the edge of the network, rather than in the cloud itself.  Factors such asThe increase in load on the cloud infrastructure globally and rises in artificial intelligence (AI)(“AI”) applications, are the major factors driving the growth of the edge computing market.  Our customer applications often require connection to a wide array of data sources and sensors, ultra-fast processing power and the ability to quickly access and store large and ever-growing data sets at their location not in the cloud. This equipment requires datacenter class performance optimized for deployment at the edge in challenging environments.  Unlike the controlled air-conditioned data center, many of these edge applications have unique requirements, including special and compact form factors ruggedized for harsh conditions.  We are uniquely positioned as a specialized provider for the high-end of this marketplace providing custom servers, data acquisition platforms, compute accelerators, solid-state storage arrays, system IO expansion systems as well as edge optimized industrial and panel PCs, tablets and handheld compute devices. Our systems also offer industry leading capabilities that occupy less physical space and power consumption. We deliver this high-end technology to our customers through the sale of equipment and embedded software.

 

We were originally organized as One Stop Systems, LLC, a California limited liability company, in 1998 before converting into One Stop Systems, Inc., a California corporation in 1999. On July 6, 2016, we entered into a Merger Agreement and Plan of Reorganization with Mission Technology Group, Inc. (“Magma”), whereby Magma merged with and into OSS with OSS continuing as the surviving corporation. We reincorporated as a Delaware corporation on December 14, 2017, and shares of our common stock began trading as a public company on the Nasdaq Capital Markets on February 1, 2018.

 

On August 31, 2018, we acquired Concept Development Inc. (“CDI”), a provider of specialty in-flight entertainment, networking and other aerospace technology located in Irvine, California. As of June 1, 2020, CDI has been fully integrated into the core operations of OSS.

 

On October 31, 2018, we acquired Bressner Technology GmbH (“Bressner”), located near Munich, Germany. Bressner provides manufacturing, test, sales and marketing services for customers throughout Europe. Furthermore, Bressner is a valued-added reseller of high technology hardware, which expanded the company’sCompany’s high-performance computing product lines to include industrial and panel PCs, tablets and handheld compute devices while also opening up new markets in Europe.  

Recent Developments

In March 2020,Despite global efforts to slow the World Health Organization declaredspread of the outbreak of Coronavirus, or COVID-19, a global pandemicvirus and the United States federal government declared it a national emergency. to mitigate its effects, COVID-19 continues to impact worldwide economic activity. A public healthactivity, and the ongoing effects of the COVID-19 pandemic includinghas adversely impacted, and may continue to adversely impact, many aspects of our business. In response to the COVID-19 posespandemic, many state, local, and foreign governments have put in place restrictions in order to control the riskspread of the disease. Such restrictions, or the perception that further restrictions could occur, have resulted in business closures, work stoppages, slowdowns and delays, work-from-home policies, travel restrictions, and cancellation or postponement of

29


events, among other effects that impacted productivity and disrupted our operations and those of our partners, suppliers, contractors, and customers.

One way that COVID-19 has directly affected our operations is that we have experienced increased pricing and/or shortages of certain parts and supplies that are necessary components to the products and services we offer to our employees, contractors, customers, suppliers, and other partnersas a result, are experiencing longer lead-times. COVID-19 has indirectly affected our operations as well. For instance, some of our customers experienced downturns or uncertainty in their own business operations and revenue, and as a result, these customers have (and may be prevented from conducting business activities for an indefinite periodcontinue to) decreased or delayed their technology spending, requested pricing concessions or payment extensions, or seek to renegotiate their contracts. For example, one of time, including due to shutdownsour customers that may be requested or mandated by governmental authorities.


More generally, COVID-19 raises the possibility of an extended global economic downturn, which could affect demand foruses our products and services in their business operations operates in the live event space, such as music festivals and concerts. Due to measures implemented by local and state governments to restrict public gatherings in order to stop and/or prevent the spread of COVID-19, our customer was unable to generate revenue at previous levels during these times, and as a result, we provided extended payment terms for the collection of our accounts receivables for this particular customer during the pandemic. However, all past due accounts receivables owed by this particular customer have now been received by the Company.    

During the pandemic, as state, local, and foreign governments implemented (and may continue to implement) preventative measures to contain or mitigate the outbreak of COVID-19, the usage of our products and services fluctuated following such implementation, and we cannot predict how usage levels will continue to be impacted by these preventative measures. There is no assurance that customers will continue to use our products and services, or to the same extent, as the COVID-19 pandemic begins to taper off or when it will end. As a result, it has been difficult to accurately forecast our revenues or financial results, especially given that the near and long term impact of the pandemic remains uncertain. In addition, while the potential impact and duration of the COVID-19 pandemic on the economy and our business in particular may be difficult to assess or predict, the pandemic has resulted in, and may continue to result in, significant disruption of global financial markets, and may reduce our ability to access additional capital, which could negatively affect our liquidity in the future. Our results of operations could be materially below our forecasts as well, which could adversely affect our results of operations, disappoint analysts and financial condition even after the pandemic is contained and remediation/restriction measures are lifted. For example, we may be unableinvestors, or cause our stock price to collect receivables from customers that are significantly impacted by COVID-19. Also,decline.

Furthermore, a decrease in orders in a given period could negatively affect our revenues in future periods. The COVID-19 pandemic may also have the effect of heightening many of the other risks described in the “Risk Factors” section of our December 31, 2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed on March 25, 2021, including risks associated with our customers and supply chain. We willmay take further actions that alter our operations as may be required by federal, state, or local authorities, or which we determine are in our best interests. While much of our operations can be performed remotely, certain activities often require personnel to be on-site, and our ability to carry out these activities have been, and may continue to evaluatebe negatively impacted if our employees or local personnel are not able to travel. In addition, for activities that may be conducted remotely, there is no guarantee that we will be as effective while working remotely because our team is dispersed and many employees and their families have been negatively affected, mentally or physically, by the natureCOVID-19 pandemic. Decreased effectiveness and availability of our team could harm our business. In addition, we may decide to postpone or cancel planned investments in our business in response to changes in our business as a result of the spread of COVID-19, which may impact our ability to attract and retain customers and our rate of innovation, either of which could harm our business.

We do not yet know the full extent of potential delays or impacts on our business, operations, or the impactglobal economy as a whole. While there have recently been vaccines developed and administered, and certain government orders and restrictions in particular cities, counties, and states have been lifted as the spread of COVID-19 starts to be contained and mitigated, we cannot predict the timing of the vaccine roll-out globally or the efficacy of such vaccines, including against variants of the virus, and we do not yet know how businesses, customers, contractors, suppliers, or our partners will operate in a post COVID-19 environment, especially if additional or supplemental governmental orders, limitations, and restrictions are reinstated. There may be additional costs or impacts to our business and operations, including when we are able to resume in-person activities, travel, and events. In addition, there is no guarantee that a future outbreak of this or any other widespread epidemics will not occur, or that the global economy will recover, either of which could harm our business.

 


At present, it is clearAlthough the global economy has been negatively impacted by COVID-19, and demand for some of our products and services have been reducedCompany’s revenue growth during 2020 slowed due to uncertainty andthe effects of COVID-19, the Company was able to mitigate the effects, to some degree, of the reduced revenue attributable to the economic impact of COVID-19.  Specifically, our business has been negatively affected by a range of external factors related to COVID-19 that are not within our control. For example, numerous measures have been implemented by governmental authorities across the globe to contain the virus, including travel bans and restrictions, quarantines, shelter-in-place orders, restrictions and limitations of public gatherings, and business limitations and shutdowns. Many of our customers’ businesses have been severely impacted by these measures and some have been required to reduce employee headcount as a result. If a significant number of our customers are unable to continue as a going concern, this would have an adverse impact on our business and financial condition. In addition, many of our customers are working remotely, which may delay the timing of new business and implementations of our services. If COVID-19 continues to have a substantial impact on our partners, customers, or suppliers, our results of operations and overall financial performance will be harmed.

Though management has been proactively managing through the current known impacts, if the situation further deteriorates or the outbreak resultsimplementation of a reduction in further restriction on both supplyforce and demand factors, our cash flows, financial position and operating results for 2021 and beyond will be negatively impacted. Neither the length of time nor the magnitude of the negative impacts can be presently determined.

The longer the COVID-19 pandemic persists, the greater the potential for significant adverse impact to our business operations.  Quarantines, travel restrictions, prohibitions on non-essential gatherings, shelter-in-place orders and other similar directives and policies intended to reduce the spread of the disease, may reduce our productivity and that of the third parties on which we rely and may disrupt and delay many aspects of our business.

The Company is complying with state mandated requirements for safety in the workplace to ensure the health, safety and welling-being of our employees.  These measures included personal protective equipment, social distancing, and cleanliness of the facilities and daily monitoring of the health of employees in our facilities.  We have not developed a specific and comprehensive contingency plan designed to address the challenges and risks presented by the COVID-19 pandemic and, even if and when we do develop such a plan, there can be no assurance that such plan will be effective in mitigating the potential adverse effects on our business, financial condition and results of operations.strict cost containment measures.

 

On February 15, 2020, Steve Cooper was terminated as President and CEO of One Stop Systems, Inc., and was replaced by David Raun, who is now the presidentPresident and CEO of the Company.

On April 7, 2020, the Company implemented a cost reduction plan which included the termination of certain employees and elimination of certain costs.  Savings from this effort arewere estimated to be approximately $2.5 million on an annual basis.  Though such cost containment efforts were successful, the Company has begun making strategic investments in personnel, technology, and systems to expand the business and improve capabilities and efficiencies.

On April 24, 2020, the Company completed a $6.0 million debt financing on a non-interest bearing convertible note with a 10% original issue discount.  The first tranche of $3.0 million was received on April 27, 2020, with2020.

Components of Results of Operations

Revenue

 

The Company recognizes revenue under accounting standard ASC 606.  Revenue is primarily generated from the sale of computer hardware and engineering services and to some extent the sale of software, and sales of software maintenance and support contracts.   The Company’s performance obligations are satisfied over time as work is performed or at a point in time. The majority of the Company’s revenue is recognized at a point in time when products ship and control is transferred to the customer. The Company determines revenue recognition through the following steps: (1) identification of the contract with a customer; (2) identification of the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determination of the transaction price; (4) allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (5) recognition of revenue when, or as, a performance obligation is satisfied.


Cost of revenue

Cost of revenue primarily consists of costs of materials, costs paid to third-party contract manufacturers (which may include the costs of components), and personnel costs associated with manufacturing and support operations. Personnel costs consist of wages, bonuses, benefits, and stock-based compensation expenses. Cost of revenue also includes freight, allocated overhead costs and inventory write-offs and changes to our inventory and warranty reserves. Allocated overhead costs consist of certain facilities and utility costs. We expect cost of revenue to increase in absolute dollars with an improvement in margin, as product revenue increases.

Operating expenses

Salaries and personnel-related costs, benefits, and stock-based compensation expense are the most significant components of each category of operating expenses. Operating expenses also include allocated overhead costs for facilities and utility costs.

General and Administrative - General and administrative expense consists primarily of employee compensation and related expenses for administrative functions including finance, legal, human resources, and fees for third-party professional services, as well as allocated overhead.

Marketing and Selling – Marketing and Sellingselling expense consists primarily of employee compensation and related expenses, sales commissions, marketing programs, travel, and entertainment expenses as well as allocated overhead. Marketing programs consist of advertising, tradeshows, events, corporate communications, and brand-building activities. We expect marketing and selling expenses to increase in absolute dollars as we expand our sales force, increase marketing resources, and further develop sales channels.

29


Research and Development - Research and development expense consists primarily of employee compensation and related expenses, prototype expenses, depreciation associated with assets acquired for research and development, third-party engineering, and contractor support costs, as well as allocated overhead. We expect our research and development expenses to increase in absolute dollars as we continue to invest in new and existing products.

Our sources of liquidity and cash flows are used to fund ongoing operations, research and development projects for new products and technologies, and provide ongoing support services for our customers. Over the next year, we anticipate that we will use our liquidity and cash flows from our operations to fund our growth. In addition, as part of our business strategy, we occasionally evaluate potential acquisitions of businesses and products and technologies. Accordingly, a portion of our available cash may be used at any time for the acquisition of complementary products or businesses. Such potential transactions may require substantial capital resources, which may require us to seek additional debt or equity financing. We cannot assure you that we will be able to successfully identify suitable acquisition candidates, complete acquisitions, integrate acquired businesses into our current operations, or expand into new markets. Furthermore, we cannot provide assurances that additional financing will be available to us in any required time frame and on commercially reasonable terms, if at all.

The Company’s revenue growth during the year 2020 slowed due to the effects of COVID-19. However, resulting fromthrough a reduction in force and strict cost containment, the Company has been able to mitigate the effects, to some degree, of the reduced revenue.  For a further description and risk factors associated with COVID-19, please see Part 1A of the December 31, 2020, Annual Report on Form 10-K filed March 25, 2021.

Management’s plans are to continue its efforts towards responding to the changing economic landscape attributable to COVID-19, to restructure the Company with the primary objectives of reducingcontrol costs, conservingconserve cash, strengtheningstrengthen margins, and improvingimprove company-wide execution.  Specific actions already implemented by management includeincluded a reduction in force, a limited freeze on hiring, reduced work week, minimizingminimized overtime, travel and entertainment, and contractor costs.  On April 7, 2020, the Company implemented a cost reduction plan which included the termination of certain employees and elimination of certain costs.

3337


While management expects these actions to result in prospective cost reductions,containment, management is also committed to conserving cash and securing debt and/or equity financing to ensure thatas required for liquidity will be sufficient to meet the Company’s cash requirements through at least a period of the next twelve months. Management believes potential sources of liquidity include at least the following:

  

 

In May 2019, the Company filed a registration statement on Form S-3 prospectus(Registration No. 333-231513) with the Securities and Exchange CommissionSEC, which became effective on June 19, 2019, and allows the Company to offer up to $100,000,000an aggregate dollar amount of shares$100,000,000 of its common stock, preferred stock, debt securities, warrants to purchase its common stock, preferred stock or debt securities, subscription rights to purchase its common stock, preferred stock or debt securities and\or units consisting of some or all of these securities, in any combination, together or separately, in one or more offerings, in amounts, at prices and on the terms that the Company will determine at the time of the offering and which will be set forth in a prospectus supplement and any related free writing prospectus.prospectus; and

 

On April 24, 2020, the Company completed a $6.0 million debt financing on a non-interest bearing convertible note with a 10% original issue discount.  The first tranche of $3.0 million was received on April 27, 2020, with an additional $3.0 million available seven months from the date of closing at the option of the Company conditioned upon meeting certain requirements which have been satisfied.  The note is repayable in twenty-two installments beginning three months after closing in cash or shares of the Company’s common stock. 

On March 1, 2021, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with an accredited investor, pursuant to which the Company agreed to issueissued and sell,sold, in a registered direct offering, 1,497,006 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, to the purchaser at an offering price of $6.68 per share. The registered offering was conducted pursuant to the Company’s effective shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (Registration No. 333-231513), which was initially filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 15, 2019; and was declared effective on June 19, 2019.discussed above.  As compensation for their services, the Company paid to the placement agents a fee equal to 7% of the gross proceeds received by the Company as a result of the registered offering, and reimbursed the placement agents for certain expenses incurred in connection with such offering. The net proceeds to the Company from the registered offering arewere approximately $9.22$9.2 million after deducting certain fees due to the placement agents’ and the Company’s transaction expenses. The net proceeds received by the Company will be used for general corporate and working capital purposes.

As a result of management’s cost reduction plans, the Company’s potential sources of liquidity and management’s most recent cash flow forecasts, management believes that the Company has sufficient liquidity to satisfy its anticipated working capital requirements for its ongoing operations and obligations for at least the next twelve months. However, there can be no assurance that management’s cost reduction efforts will be effective or the forecasted cash flows will be achieved. Furthermore, the Company shall continue to evaluate its capital expenditure needs based upon factors including but not limited to, the Company’s sales from operations, growth rate, the timing and extent of spending to support development efforts, the expansion of the Company’s sales and marketing, the timing of new product introductions, and the continuing market acceptance of the Company’s products and services.

If cash generated from operations is insufficient to satisfy the Company’s capital requirements, the Company may open a revolving line of credit with a bank, or it may have to sell additional equity or debt securities or obtain expanded credit facilities to fund its operating expenses, pay its obligations, diversify its geographical reach, and grow the Company. In the event such financing is needed in the future, there can be no assurance that such financing will be available to the Company, or, if available, that it will be in amounts and on terms acceptable to the Company. If the Company cannot raise additional funds when it needs or wants them, the Company’s operations and prospects could be negatively affected. However, if cash flows from operations become insufficient to continue operations at the current level, and if no additional financing were obtained, then management would restructure the Company in a way to preserve its business while maintaining expenses within operating cash flows.

This improvement in operating cash flow is mainly attributable to better earnings resulting from improved gross margins, a reduction in expenses, and reduction in working capital requirementrequirements resulting in better collections from customers.

The improvement in cashCash generated by operating activities wasduring the nine month period ended September 30, 2021, is primarily a result of the improvement in profitability from a decreasenet loss of $250,404 in the prior year period to net income of $2,719,016 in the current period.  Net favorable adjustments for net non-cash items of $1,689,377 are comprised of $3,208,633 in favorable non-cash items, which were offset by $1,519,256 in items that did not generate operating cash flow and a use of operating cash for working capital of $1,111,268.

Net working capital requirements for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, was $1,111,268, as compared to the prior year period use of $3,180,719,working capital of $2,523,409, an improvement in net loss of $1,137,230, and an increase in non-cash adjustments of $694,890.  Non-cash adjustments include increases of $794,122 attributable to deferred taxes; gain on disposal of property and equipment, warranty reserves, amortization of deferred gain, inventory reserves, amortization of debt discount and stock-based compensation expense.  These increases were offset by $29,232 in decreases in non-cash adjustments attributable to the provision$1,412,141.  The period changes for bad debt depreciation, and amortization.

Working capital requirements were reduced overall by $3,180,719.  The sources of working capital of $4,012,890$4,503,335 were attributable to changes inventory levels,in prepaid and other current assets, and accounts payable and accrued expenses, and other liabilities for the comparable period. These sources were offset by reductions inuses of working capital of $832,171 attributable$3,091,194 being applied to changes in accounts receivable.receivables, inventory levels and accounts payable.

Our ability to generate cash from operations in future periods will depend in large part on our profitability, the rate and timing of collections of our accounts receivable, our inventory turns and our ability to manage other areas of working capital, including accounts payable and accrued expenses.

Investing Activities

The main projects for$14,182,439. This significant increase is mainly attributable to investing cash received from the three months endedregistered direct offering which was completed in March 31, 2021 and 2020from cash balances which were not considered necessary for business operations.  Additionally, the continued enhancementCompany continues to enhance the capabilities of ourits ERP system, and the purchase of test equipment for the engineering department.  We currently do not anticipate any other significant purchases of equipment or expansion of our ERP system beyond completion of phase II of the project, which is the integration of certain sales functions.  

Financing Activities

During the threenine month period ended March 31,September 30, 2021, the Company generated $9,173,593$9,228,588 in cash from financing activities, as compared to the cash used inprovided by financing activities of $1,214,119$2,325,509 during the same threenine month period year in 2020.  The increase is mainly attributable to proceeds received from a $10,000,000 registered direct offering that was completed in March 2021.  The Company also received $362,693 from the exercise of options and warrants during the nine month period ended September 30, 2021.

During the threenine month periodsperiod ended March 31, 2021andSeptember 30, 2020, the Company received net proceeds, after expenses, of $278,968$2,383,726 from a senior secured convertible debt offering of $3,000,000 and $57,000, respectively,$1,499,360 from the exercise of warrants and stock optionsa Paycheck Protection Plan loan, which was offset by payment for taxes of $44,252 and $656,845, respectively that was paid on behalf of those that exercised options and RSU’s on a net cashless basis.subsequently forgiven in May 2021.

On March 1, 2021, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with an accredited investor, pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue and sell, in a registered direct offering, 1,497,006 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, to the purchaser at an offering price of $6.68 per share. The net proceeds from the registered offering were approximately $9.22 million after deducting certain fees due to the placement agents’ and the Company’s transaction expenses.

Off balance sheet arrangements

Other than lease commitments incurred in the normal course of business and certain indemnification provisions, we do not have any off-balance sheet financing arrangements or liabilities, guarantee contracts, retained or contingent interests in transferred assets, or any obligation arising out of a material variable interest in an unconsolidated entity.

We do not have any majority-owned subsidiaries that are not consolidated in the financial statements. Additionally, we do not have an interest in, or relationships with, any special purpose entities.

Stockholder transactions

In April 2019, certain members of the Company’s Board of Directors executed definitive agreements to commit funds of up to $4,000,000 as a credit facility. The Company initially borrowed an aggregate of $1,150,000 from members of the Board of Directors and an aggregate of $350,000 from other shareholders for a two-year period at an interest rate of 9.5% which requires the Company to make monthly principal and interest paymentpayments of $69,000 per month. In connection with these loans, the Company issued to the note holders warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock equal to 10% of the original principal at a price per share equal to $2.15 per share.$2.15.  Accordingly, the Company issued to the note holders warrants to purchase an aggregate of 69,766 shares of the Company’s common stock.  The relative fair value of the warrants issued was $60,158.  The remaining unfunded loan commitments expired as of April 1, 2020, and the Company has not received any additional funding commitments from members of the Board of Directors.  These are now fully paid as of April 2021.

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 year ended December 31, 2020. We periodically re-evaluate and adjust our critical accounting policies as circumstances change. There were no significant changes to our critical accounting policies during the threenine month period ended March 31, 2021.September 30, 2021, except for the addition of a definition of and accounting policy for, short-term investments as follows:

Short-term Investments

Short-term investments consist predominantly of commercial paper, corporate debt securities, U.S. Treasury securities, and asset-backed securities. The Company classifies short-term investments based on the facts and circumstances surrounding the investments at the time of purchase and evaluates such classification as of each balance sheet date. On September 30, 2021, all short-term investments were classified as available-for-sale.

Unrealized gains and losses for available-for-sale securities are included in accumulated other comprehensive income—a component of stockholders’ equity. Realized gains and losses are determined using the specific identification method and are included in other income (expense) in the consolidated statement of operations. The Company evaluates its investments to determine whether those with unrealized loss positions are other than temporarily impaired. Impairments are considered to be other than temporary if they are related to deterioration in credit risk or if it is likely that the Company will sell the securities before recovery of their cost basis.

40


Recently implemented accounting pronouncements

PerNo new accounting pronouncements were implemented during the Company’s consolidated financial statements Note 2 – Significant Accounting Policies, we have implemented a number of changes, as required by FASB.  See Note 2 of the accompanying financial statements for further details.nine month period ended September 30, 2021.

Interest rate risk

Our exposure to interest rate risk is primarily associated with borrowing on revolving lines of credit denominated in both U.S. dollars and Euros.  We are exposed to the impact of interest rate changes primarily through our borrowing activities for our variable rate borrowings.

36


Concentration of credit risk

Financial instruments that potentially expose us to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash, cash equivalents, short-term investments and accounts receivable. We place our cash and cash equivalents with financial institutions with high credit quality. On March 31,September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, we had $19,614,315$3,955,215 and $6,316,921, respectively, of cash and cash equivalents on deposit or invested with our financial and lending institutions. We provide credit to our customers in the normal course of business. We perform ongoing credit evaluations of our customers’ financial condition and limit the amount of credit extended when deemed necessary.

Foreign currency risk

We operate primarily in the United States.  Foreign sales of products and services are primarily denominated in U.S. dollars.  We also conduct business outside the United States through our foreign subsidiary in Germany, where business is largely transacted in non-U.S. dollar currencies, particularly the Euro, which is subject to fluctuations due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates.  Accordingly, we are subject to exposure from changes in the exchange rates of local currencies. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses are recorded in other income (expense), net in the consolidated statements of operations.

OSS GmbH operates as an extension of OSS’ domestic operations and acquired Bressner Technology GmbH in October 2018.  The functional currency of OSS GmbH is the Euro. Transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are remeasured to the functional currency at the average exchange rate in effect during the period.  At the end of each reporting period, monetary assets and liabilities are translated using exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities are remeasured at historical exchange rates. Consequently, changes in the exchange rates of the currencies may impact the translation of the foreign subsidiaries’ statements of operations into U.S. dollars, which may in turn affect our consolidated statement of operations. The resulting foreign currency translation adjustments are recorded as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income.

Derivative Financial Instruments

We employ derivatives on a periodic basis to manage certain market risks through the use of foreign exchange forward contracts. We do not use derivatives for trading or speculative purposes. Our derivatives are designated as a hedge of a forecasted transaction or of the variability of cash flows to be received or paid related to a recognized asset or liability (cash flow hedge). We hedge a portion of the exchange risk involved in anticipation of highly probable foreign currency-denominated transactions. In anticipation of these transactions, we may enter into foreign exchange contracts to provide currency at a fixed rate.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Adjusted EBITDA

We believe that the use of adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, or adjusted EBITDA, is helpful for an investor to assess the performance of the Company.  The Company defines adjusted EBITDA as income (loss) before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, acquisition expenses, impairment of long-lived assets, financing costs, fair value adjustments from purchase accounting, stock-based compensation expense and expenses related to discontinued operations.

41


Adjusted EBITDA is not a measurement of financial performance under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, or GAAP. Because of varying available valuation methodologies, subjective assumptions and the variety of equity instruments that can impact a company’s non-cash operating expenses, we believe that providing a non-GAAP financial measure that excludes non-cash and non-recurring expenses allows for meaningful comparisons between our core business operating results and those of other companies, as well as providing us with an important tool for financial and operational decision making and for evaluating our own core business operating results over different periods of time.

37


Our adjusted EBITDA measure may not provide information that is directly comparable to that provided by other companies in our industry, as other companies in our industry may calculate non-GAAP financial results differently, particularly related to non-recurring, unusual items. Our adjusted EBITDA is not a measurement of financial performance under GAAP, and should not be considered as an alternative to operating income or as an indication of operating performance or any other measure of performance derived in accordance with GAAP. We do not consider adjusted EBITDA to be a substitute for, or superior to, the information provided by GAAP financial results.

Adjusted EPS

Adjusted EPS excludes the impact of certain items and therefore, has not been calculated in accordance with GAAP. We believe that exclusion of certain selected items assists in providing a more complete understanding of our underlying results and trends and allows for comparability with our peer company index and industry. We use this measure along with the corresponding GAAP financial measures to manage our business and to evaluate our performance compared to prior periods and the marketplace. The Company defines Non-GAAP income (loss) as income asor (loss) or income before amortization, stock-based compensation, expenses related to discontinued operations, impairment of long-lived assets and non-recurring acquisition costs.  Adjusted EPS expresses adjusted income (loss) income on a per share basis using weighted average diluted shares outstanding.

Adjusted EPS is a non-GAAP financial measure and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for financial information provided in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures may not be computed in the same manner as similarly titled measures used by other companies. We expect to continue to incur expenses similar to the adjusted income from continuing operations and adjusted EPS financial adjustments described above, and investors should not infer from our presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures that these costs are unusual, infrequent or non-recurring.

Free Cash Flow

Free cash flow, a non-GAAP measure for reporting cash flow, is defined as cash provided by or used in operating activities, less capital expenditures for property and equipment, which includes capitalized software development costs for the implementation of the Company’s ERP system. We believe free cash flow provides investors with an important perspective on cash available for investments and acquisitions after making capital investments required to support ongoing business operations and long-term value creation.  We believe that trends in our free cash flow can be valuable indicators of our operating performance and liquidity.

Free cash flow is a non-GAAP financial measure and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for financial information provided in accordance with GAAP. This non-GAAP financial measure may not be computed in the same manner as similarly titled measures used by other companies.

We expect to continue to incur expenditures similar to the free cash flow adjustments described above, and investors should not infer from our presentation of this non-GAAP financial measure that these expenditures reflect all of our obligations which require cash.  The following table reconciles cash provided by or used in operating activities, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, to free cash flow:

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

Not Applicable.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our periodic and current reports that we file with the SEC is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms; and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Limitation on Effectiveness of Controls

The design of any control system is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals. The inherent limitations in any control system include the realities that judgments related to decision-making can be faulty, and that reduced effectiveness in controls can occur because of simple errors or mistakes. Due to the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error may occur and may not be detected.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Management is required to evaluate our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”). Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act, such as this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include controls and procedures designed to provide reasonable assurance that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on our management’s evaluation (with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer), our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) were effective at a reasonable assurance level as of the end of the period covered by this report.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended March 31,September 30, 2021, which were identified in connection with management’s evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act, that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION

For a description of our material pending legal proceeding, please see Note 9,10, Commitments and Contingencies, to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

Please carefully consider the information set forth in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the risk factors discussed in Part I, Item IA.1A. of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, which could materially affect our business, financial condition, or future results. In evaluating our business, you should carefully consider the risk factors discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, as updated by our subsequent filings under the Exchange Act. The occurrence of any of the risks discussed in such filings, or other events that we do not currently anticipate or that we currently deem immaterial, could harm our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations. In that case, the trading price of our common stock could decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment.

We must successfully navigate the demand, supply and operational challenges associated with the ongoing coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.

Our business has been negatively affected by a range of external factors related to COVID-19 that are not within our control. For example, numerous measures have been implemented by governmental authorities across the globe to contain the virus, including travel bans and restrictions, quarantines, shelter-in-place orders, restrictions and limitations of public gatherings, and business limitations and shutdowns. Many of our customers’ businesses have been severely impacted by these measures and some have been required to reduce employee headcount as a result. If a significant number of our customers are unable to continue as a going concern, this would have an adverse impact on our business and financial condition.In addition, many of our customers are working remotely, which may delay the timing of new business and implementations of our services. If COVID-19 continues to have a substantial impact on our partners, customers, or suppliers, our results of operations and overall financial performance will be harmed.

The impacts of COVID-19 on our business, customers, partners, suppliers, employees, markets and financial results and condition are uncertain, evolving and dependent on numerous unpredictable factors outside of our control, including:

the spread, duration and severity of COVID-19 as a public health matter and its impact on governments, businesses and society generally and our clients, partners, suppliers and our business more specifically;

the spread, duration and severity of COVID-19 as a public health matter and its impact on governments, businesses and society generally and our customers, partners, suppliers and our business more specifically;

the measures being taken by governments, businesses and society in response to COVID-19 and the effectiveness of those measures, including our suppliers in China experiencing delays due to the Chinese government’s response to COVID-19;

the measures being taken by governments, businesses and society in response to COVID-19 and the effectiveness of those measures, including our suppliers experiencing delays due to their local government’s response to COVID-19;

the scope and effectiveness of fiscal and monetary stimulus programs and other legislative and regulatory measures being implemented by federal, state and local governments in response to COVID-19;

the scope and effectiveness of fiscal and monetary stimulus programs and other legislative and regulatory measures being implemented by federal, state and local governments in response to COVID-19;

the duration and impact of the numerous measures implemented by governmental authorities throughout the country to contain COVID-19, including travel bans and restrictions, quarantines, shelter-in-place orders, restrictions and limitations on public gatherings, and business limitations and shutdowns;

the increase in business failures or slowdowns among our customers, suppliers, and other businesses;

the pace and extent to which our customers and other businesses are able to operate and/or reduce their number of employees and other compensated individual; the willingness of current and prospective clients to invest in our products and services; and

If we are not able to respond to and manage the impact of such events effectively, our business will be harmed.

It is clear the global economy has been negatively impacted by COVID-19, and demand for some of our products and services has been reduced due to uncertainty and the economic impact of COVID-19. In particular, in the media and entertainment and commercial airlines industries, demand for the use of outdoor media equipment has been impacted due to restrictions on public gatherings and the airlines industry has been impacted by reduced travel. Until suchWhile there have recently been certain government orders and restrictions improve,that have lifted the prohibition of public gatherings in particular cities, counties, and states as the spread of COVID-19 starts to be contained and mitigated, until COVID-19 has been contained and mitigated, we expect that demand for certain of our clients’customers’ products and services will be limited, and thus, may impact our financial results and operations.

More generally,Moreover, even if the pandemic is contained and remediation/restriction measures are lifted, COVID-19 raises the possibility of an extended global economic downturn, which could affect demand for our products and services and disrupt our supply chain for materials and impact our results and financial condition even after the pandemic is contained and remediation/restriction measures are lifted.condition. For example, we may be unable to collect receivablessource product or services from customers that are significantly impacted by COVID-19. Also, a decrease in orders in a given period could negatively affect our revenues in future periods. COVID-19 may also have the effect of heightening many of the other risks described in the “Risk Factors” section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K, including risks associated with our customers and supply chain.  We will continue to evaluate the nature and extent of the impact of COVID-19 to our business.
