SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws, which statements involve substantial risks and uncertainties. Forward-looking statements generally relate to future events or our future financial or operating performance. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements because they contain words such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “would,” “shall,” “might,” “expects,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “could,” “intends,” “target,” “projects,” “contemplates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “predicts,” “potential,” or “continue” or the negative of these words or other similar terms or expressions that concern our expectations, strategy, plans, or intentions. Forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q include, but are not limited to, statements about:

 

our future financial performance, including our revenue, cost of revenue, gross profit, gross margin, operating expenses, ability to generate positive cash flow, and ability to achieve and maintain profitability;

the sufficiency of our cash and cash equivalents to meet our working capital, capital expenditure, and liquidity needs;

our operating subsidiaries' ability to attract and retain customers to use our products, to optimize the pricing for our products, to expand our sales to our customers, and to convince our existing customers to renew subscriptions;

the evolution of technologies affecting our operating subsidiaries' products and markets;

our operating subsidiaries' ability to innovate and provide a superior user experience and our intentions and strategy with respect thereto;

our operating subsidiaries' ability to successfully penetrate enterprise markets;

our operating subsidiaries' ability to successfully expand in our existing markets and into new markets, including international markets;

the attraction and retention of key personnel;

our ability to effectively manage our growth and future expenses;

worldwide economic conditions and their impact on spending; and

and our operating subsidiaries' ability to comply with modified or new laws and regulations applying to our business, including privacy and data security regulations.

 

We caution you that the foregoing list does not contain all of the forward-looking statements made in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

 

You should not rely upon forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. We have based the forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q primarily on our current expectations and projections about future events and trends that we believe may affect our business, financial condition, operating results, and prospects. The outcome of the events described in these forward-looking statements is subject to risks, uncertainties, and other factors described in the section titled “Risk Factors” in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2018.2019. Moreover, we and our subsidiaries operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risks and uncertainties emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict all risks and uncertainties that could have an impact on the forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. We cannot assure you that the results, events, and circumstances reflected in the forward-looking statements will be achieved or occur, and actual results, events, or circumstances could differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements.

 

The forward-looking statements made in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q relate only to events as of the date on which the statements are made. We undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statements made in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or to reflect new information or the occurrence of unanticipated events, except as required by law. We and our subsidiaries may not actually achieve the plans, intentions, or expectations disclosed in our forward-looking statements and you should not place undue reliance on our forward-looking statements. Our forward-looking statements do not reflect the potential impact of any future acquisitions, mergers, dispositions, joint ventures, or investments we may make.

Accounts Receivable, - Related Partiesnet and Accounts Receivable net

Accounts receivable - related parties, consist of fund asset management fees receivable from the Wainwright business. Management fees receivable generally consist of one month of management fees which are collected in the month after they are earned. As of September 30, 2018, and June 30, 2018, there is no allowance for doubtful accounts as all amounts are deemed collectible.Related Parties

 

Accounts receivable, net, consist of receivables from the Brigadier, Gourmet Foods and Original Sprout businesses. The Company does not currently maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts as it believes all accounts are collectible. Management regularly reviews the composition of accounts receivable and analyzes customer credit worthiness, customer concentrations, current economic trends and changes in customer payment patterns to determine whether or not an account should be deemed uncollectible. Reserves, if any, are recorded on a specific identification basis. Account balances are charged off against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote. As of September 30, 20182019 and June 30, 2018,2019, the Company had nil$0 and $51,747,$2,075, respectively, listed as doubtful accounts.

Major Customers &and Suppliers – Concentration of Credit Risk

 

Concierge, through Brigadier, is partially dependent upon its contractual relationship with anthe alarm monitoring company who paysprovides monitoring services to Brigadier’s customers. In the event this contract is terminated, Brigadier would be compelled to find an alternate source of alarm monitoring, or establish such a facility itself. Management believes that the contractual relationship is sustainable, and has been for supplying and installing alarm systems and continues to remit monthly recurring revenues in exchange for customer service and support functions.many years, with alternate solutions available should the need arise. Sales to the largest customer, which includes system installationscontracts and recurring monthly payments,support fees, totaled 59%52% and 49%59% of the total Brigadier revenues for the three month periodsmonths ended September 30, 20182019 and 2017,September 30, 2018, respectively. The same customer accounted for approximately 35%36% of Brigadier's accounts receivable as of the balance sheet date of September 30, 20182019 as compared to 40%37% as of June 30, 2018.2019. A second customer accounted for approximately 10% of Brigadier'sthe revenues for the three months endedthree-month period ending September 30, 2018, and 20% of the accounts receivable as of September 30, 2018. Thishowever no significant sales from this customer had insignificant saleswere recorded for the corresponding three month period endedending September 30, 2017 and insignificant amounts owing as of June 30, 2018.2019.

 

Concierge, through Gourmet Foods, has three major customer groups comprising the gross revenues to Gourmet Foods; 1) grocery, 2) gasoline convenience stores, and 3) independent retailers. The grocery and food industry is dominated by several large chain operations, which are customers of Gourmet Foods, and there are no long term guarantees that these major customers will continue to purchase products from Gourmet Foods, however the relationships have been in place for sufficient time to give management reasonable confidence in their continuing business. For the quarter ended September 30, 2018,2019, Gourmet Foods’ largest customer in the grocery industry, who operates through a number of independently branded stores, accounted for approximately 24%21% of Gourmet Foods sales revenues as compared to 22%24% for the three months ended September 30, 2017.2018. This customer accounted for 30%25% of the accounts receivable at September 30, 20182019 as compared to 33%28% as of June 30, 2018.2019. The second largest in the grocery industry accounted for approximately 13%14% of Gourmet Foods sales revenues for the quarter ended September 30, 20182019 as compared to 12%13% for the three months ended September 30, 2017.2018. This same group accounted for 17%20% of Gourmet Foods accounts receivable as of September 30, 20182019 as compared to 16%19% as of June 30, 2018.2019. In the gasoline convenience store market Gourmet Foods supplies two major channels. The largest is a marketing consortium of gasoline dealers operating under the same brand who, for the three months ended September 30, 2018,2019, accounted for approximately 40%43% of Gourmet Foods’ gross sales revenues as compared to 41%40% for the three months ended September 30, 2017.2018. No single member of the consortium is responsible for a significant portion of Gourmet Foods’ accounts receivable. The third category of independent retailers and cafes accounted for the balance of Gourmet Foods’ gross sales revenue, however the group members are independently owned and individually responsible for their financial obligations with no one customer accounting for a significant portion of revenues or accounts receivable.

 

Concierge, through Original Sprout, had twois not dependent upon any one customer or group of customers as no single customer or buying group consistently accounts for over 10% of the gross revenues, though due to timing of deliveries a customer may account for a significant customers forportion of our gross revenues during any particular period. For the three month periodmonths ended September 30, 2018. The largest2019, one customer accounted for approximately 15% and the second largest for 11% of grossour revenues and 23% and 14% respectively of accounts receivable as of the balance sheet date of September 30, 2018 as compared to 20%two different companies accounting for 15% and 10% respectively as11% of June 30, 2018. At June 30, 2018 there was another customer who accountedour revenues for 13% of accounts receivable whose balance owing at September 30, 2018 was insignificant as were sales attributed to this customer during the three monththree-month period ending September 30, 2018. There is no comparison dataThese companies did not account for the prior year as the business operation was only begunany significant portion of our accounts receivable as of December 18, 2017.September 30, 2019 or as of June 30, 2019, however two different customers who did not account for a significant portion of our revenues did account for 18% and 16% of our accounts receivable as of September 30, 2019 as compared to 25% and 12%, respectively, along with a third customer whose account receivable represented 17% of all accounts receivable as of June 30, 2019. Original Sprout is partially dependent upon its relationship with a product packaging company who, at the direction of Original Sprout, manufactures the products, packages them in appropriate containers, and delivers the finished goods to Original Sprout for distribution to its customers. All of Original Sprout’s products are currently produced by this packaging company, although if this relationship were to fail there are other similar packaging companies available to Original Sprout at competitive pricing.

For our subsidiary, Wainwright, the concentration of risk and the relative reliance on major customers are found within the various funds it manages and the associated three monthsand nine month revenues as of September 30, 20182019 and September 30, 20172018 along with the accounts receivable at September 30, 20182019 as compared with the year ended June 30, 20182019 as depicted below.

Inventories

 

Inventories, consisting primarily of food products and packaging in New Zealand, hair and skin care finished products and components in the U.S. and security system hardware in Canada, are valued at the lower of cost (determined on a FIFO basis) or net realizable value. Inventories include product cost, inbound freight and warehousing costs where applicable. Management compares the cost of inventories with the net realizable value and an allowance is made for writing down the inventories to their net realizable value, if lower. For the three months ended September 30, 20182019 and September 30, 20172018 impairment to inventory value was recorded as $0 and $0, respectively. An assessment is made at the end of each reporting period to determine what slow-moving inventory items, have remained in stock from the close of the corresponding prior year reporting period. If such items exist, either a reserve is establishedif any, should be deemed obsolete and written down to reduce inventory value by the value of these items, or these items are removed from the inventory valuation and recorded as an expense.their estimated net realizable value. For the three months ended September 30, 20182019 and September 30, 2017,2018, the expense for slow movingslow-moving or obsolete inventory was $0 and $0, respectively. As of September 30, 2018, and year ended June 30, 2018 there was no reserve established for slow moving inventory valuation.

 

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment are stated at cost. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to earnings as incurred; additions, renewals and leasehold improvements are capitalized. Office furniture and equipment include office fixtures, computers, printers and other office equipment plus software and applicable packaging designs. Leasehold improvements, which are included in plant and equipment, are depreciated over the shorter of the useful life of the improvement and the length of the lease. When property and equipment are retired or otherwise disposed of, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective accounts, and any gain or loss is included in operations. Depreciation is computed using the straight-linestraight line method over the estimated useful life of the asset (see Note 5 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements).

Intangible Assets

 

Intangible assets consist of brand names, domain names, recipes, non-compete agreements and customer lists. Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized over the estimated useful life and are evaluated for impairment at least on an annual basis and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. The Company assesses recoverability by determining whether the carrying value of such assets will be recovered through the discounted expected future cash flows. If the future discounted cash flows are less than the carrying amount of these assets, the Company recognizes an impairment loss based on the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value of the assets. There was no impairment recorded for the three months ended September 30, 20182019 or the three months ended September 30, 2017.2018.

Goodwill

 

Goodwill represents the excess of the aggregate purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired in a purchase businesses combination. Goodwill is tested for impairment on an annual basis during the fourth quarter of our fiscal year, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of goodwill may be impaired. The goodwill impairment test is a two-step test. Under the first step, the fair value of the reporting unit is compared with its carrying value including goodwill. If the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds its carrying value, step two does not need to be performed. If the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying value, an indication of goodwill impairment exists for the reporting unit and the enterprise must perform step two of the impairment test. Under step two, an impairment loss is recognized for any excess of the carrying amount of the reporting unit’s goodwill over the implied fair value of that goodwill. The implied fair value of goodwill is determined by allocating the fair value of the reporting unit in a manner similar to a purchase price allocation. The residual fair value after this allocation is the implied fair value of the reporting unit goodwill. There was no impairment recorded for the three months ended September 30, 20182019 or 2017.2018.

 

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

 

The Company tests long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable through the estimated undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the assets. Whenever any such impairment exists, an impairment loss will be recognized for the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value. There was no impairment recorded for the three months ended September 30, 20182019 or 2017.2018.

 

Investments and Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

InvestmentsShort-term investments are classified as available-for-sale securities. The Company measures the investments at fair value at period end with any changes in fair value reflected as unrealized gains or (losses) on the condensed consolidated statementswhich is included as part of comprehensiveother (expense) income. The Company values its investments in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 820 – Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820”). ASC 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurement. The changes to past practice resulting from the application of ASC 820 relate to the definition of fair value, the methods used to measure fair value, and the expanded disclosures about fair value measurement. ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between: (1) market participant assumptions developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company (observable inputs) and (2) The Company’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions developed based on the best information available under the circumstances (unobservable inputs). The three levels defined by the ASC 820 hierarchy are as follows:

 

Level 1 – Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date.

 

Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 assets include the following: quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means (market-corroborated inputs).

 

Level 3 – Unobservable pricing input at the measurement date for the asset or liability. Unobservable inputs shall be used to measure fair value to the extent that observable inputs are not available.

 

In some instances, the inputs used to measure fair value might fall within different levels of the fair value hierarchy. The level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement in its entirety falls shall be determined based on the lowest input level that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. There were no transfers between levels during the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017.

Revenue Recognition

 

Revenue consists of fees earned through management of investment funds, sale of gourmet meat pies and related bakery confections in New Zealand, security alarm system installation and monitoring servicemaintenance services in Canada, and wholesale distribution of hair and skin care products. Revenue is accounted for net of sales taxes, sales returns, trade discounts. ProductThe performance obligation is considered delivered tosatisfied when the customer once itproduct has been shipped and title, risk of loss and rewards of ownership have been transferred. For most of the Company’s product sales or services, these criteria are met at the time the product is shipped, the subscription period commences, or the management fees are accrued. For our Brigadier subsidiary in Canada, the Company operates under contract with an alarm monitoring company that pays a percentage of their recurring monitoring fee to Brigadier in exchange for continued customer service and support functions with respect to each customer maintained under contract by the monitoring company.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements - In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued authoritative guidance that set forth a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers. The Company adopted this new standard and its related amendments as of July 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective transition method, whereby the cumulative effect of initially applying the new standard recognized as an adjustment to the opening balance of stockholders equity. Results for reporting periods commencing on or after July 1, 2018 are presented under the new standard, while prior period amounts are not adjusted and continue to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for that prior period. The impact of adoption did not have a material effect on our financial results. The adoption of the new standard impacted the identification of separate obligations for certain sales of security systems and related monitoring sales. The Company generates revenue, primarilyin part, through contractual monthly recurring fees received for providing ongoing customer support services to monitoring company clientele. The five-step process governing contract revenue reporting includes:

 

1. Identifying the contract(s) with customers

2. Identifying the performance obligations in the contract

3. Determining the transaction price

4. Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract

5. Recognize revenue when or as the performance obligation is satisfied

 

In the event the Company does provide monitoring services under contract but maintains ownership of the security systems, the Company's performance obligations would primarily include monitoring, related services (such as maintenance agreements), and a material right associated with the non-refundable fees received in connection with the initiation of a monitoring contract that the customer would not need to pay upon a renewal of the contract. The portion of the transaction price that would be associated with the monitoring and related services would be recognized when the services are provided to the customer, and would be reflected as a component of security alarm revenue in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. As of September 30, 2018, the Company does not provide monitoring services under contract or retain ownership of any customer security systems under a lease or any other similar arrangement, thus there is no impact due to adoption of the new standard with respect to this segment.

In transactions involvingTransactions involve security systems that are sold outright to the customer where the Company's performance obligations include customer support services and the sale and installation of the security systems. For such arrangements, the Company allocates a portion of the transaction price to each performance obligation based on a relative stand-alone selling price. Revenue associated with the sale and installation of security systems is recognized once installation is complete, and is reflected as security alarmsystem revenue in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Revenue associated with customer support services is recognized as those services are provided, and is included as a component of security alarmsystem revenue in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, which for the three months ended September 30, 2018, was2019, were approximately $217 thousandUS$208,890, or approximately 20%27% of the total security alarmsystem revenues. These revenues orfor the three months ended September 30, 2019 account for approximately 3% of total consolidated revenues. None of the other subsidiaries of the Company generate revenues from long term contracts.

 

Because the Company has no contract with the end user, and the monthly payments for customer support services are made to the Company by the monitoring company who has a contract with the end user, and end user customers are subject to cancellation through no control of the Company; therefore, no deferred revenues or contingent liability reserves have been established with respect to these contracts. The services are deemed delivered as payment is received or the obligation acknowledged. Other impacts due to adoption of the new standard include a reclassification of certain expenses from selling, general and administrative expense to cost of goods sold. These reclassifications applied to all expenses that are incurred due to receipt of revenues or recording of a sales invoice and included such items as sales commissions, credit card processing fees, technician wages for warranty services, out-bound shipping, and customer support functions. The overall effect was a slight increase to cost of goods sold and an equal reduction in selling, general and administrative expenses with no change in operating income. These reclassifications were applied to all subsidiary companies and had no material effectis acknowledged on a consolidated basis to our condensed consolidated statements of operations.monthly basis.

 

Income Taxes

 

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is provided for deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not that these items will either expire before the Company is able to realize their benefits or if future deductibility is uncertain.

 

When tax returns are filed, it is highly certain that some positions taken would be sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities, while others are subject to uncertainty about the merits of the position taken or the amount of the position that would be ultimately sustained. The benefit of a tax position is recognized in the financial statements in the period during which, based on all available evidence, management believes it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including the resolution of appeals or litigation processes, if any. Tax positions taken are not offset or aggregated with other positions. Tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold are measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50 percent likely of being realized upon settlement with the applicable taxing authority. The portion of the benefits associated with tax positions taken that exceeds the amount measured as described above is reflected as a liability for unrecognized tax benefits in the balance sheets along with any associated interest and penalties that would be payable to the taxing authorities upon examination. Applicable interest and penalties associated with unrecognized tax benefits are classified as additional income taxes in the statements of operations.

 

Marketing and Advertising Costs

 

The Company expenses the cost of marketing and advertising as incurred. Marketing and advertising costs for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 and 2017, were approximately$0.6 million and $0.9 million, and $0.8 million, respectively.

Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)

 

Foreign Currency Translation

 

We record foreign currency translation adjustments and transaction gains and losses in accordance with ASC 830-30, Foreign Currency Translation. The accounts of Gourmet Foods use the New Zealand dollar as the functional currency. The accounts of Brigadier Security System use the Canadian dollar as the functional currency. Assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate on the balance sheet date, and operating results are translated at the weighted average exchange rate throughout the period. Foreign currency transaction gains and (losses) can also occur if a transaction is settled in a currency other than the entity's functional currency. Accumulated currency translation gains and (losses) are classified as an item of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in the stockholders’ equity section of the consolidated balance sheet. Other comprehensive income, foreign currency translation (loss) gain was approximately ($12) thousand and $43 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

Short-Term Investment Valuation

 

In January 2016, the FASB issued authoritative guidance related to the accounting for equity investments, financial liabilities under the fair value option, and the presentation and disclosure requirements for financial instruments. Under the new guidance, equity investments with readily determinable fair values, except those accounted for under the equity method, will be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in earnings rather than other comprehensive income (loss). In addition, this update clarifies the guidance related to the valuation allowance assessment when recognizing deferred tax assets resulting from the unrealized losses on certain debt securities. The Company adopted this guidance effective on July 1, 2018. See Recent Accounting Pronouncements below related to July 1, 2018, resulting in reclassification of accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings. Besides this reclassification there was no material impact to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as a result of the adoption.

Segment Reporting

 

The Company defines operating segments as components about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performances. The Company allocates its resources and assesses the performance of its sales activities based on the geographic locations of its subsidiaries (Refer to Note 17 of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements).

 

Business Combinations

 

We allocate the fair value of purchase consideration to the tangible assets acquired, liabilities assumed and intangible assets acquired based on their estimated fair values. The excess of the fair value of purchase consideration over the fair values of these identifiable assets and liabilities is recorded as goodwill. Such valuations require management to make significant estimates and assumptions, especially with respect to intangible assets. Significant estimates in valuing certain intangible assets include, but are not limited to, future expected cash flows from acquired users, acquired trade names from a market participant perspective, useful lives and discount rates. Management’s estimates of fair value are based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable, but which are inherently uncertain and unpredictable and, as a result, actual results may differ from estimates. During the measurement period, which is one year from the acquisition date, we may record adjustments to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. For the each of the three months ended September 30, 20182019 and 2017,2018 a determination was made that no adjustments were necessary except for the amount provisionally recorded to goodwill as related to the purchase of assets by Original Sprout. After the results of an independent valuation of the identifiable intangible assets were known, the Company's subsidiary Original Sprout restated its purchase price allocation in accordance with the table found in Note 13 to these financial statements.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

OnIn February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which requires lessees to recognize leases on-balance sheet and disclose key information about leasing arrangements. The new standard establishes a right-of-use (“ROU”) model that requires a lessee to recognize a ROU asset and lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with a term longer than 12 months. Leases will be classified as finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern and classification of expense recognition in the income statement.

The Company adopted the new standard on July 1, 20182019 using the modified retrospective method and the transition relief guidance provided by the FASB in ASU 2018-11, Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements. Consequently, the Company did not update financial information or provide disclosures required under the new standard for dates and periods prior to July 1, 2019. The Company elected the package of practical expedients and did not reassess prior conclusions on whether contracts are or contain a lease, lease classification, and initial direct costs. In addition, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2016-01 Financial Instruments - Recognitionthe lessee practical expedient to combine lease and Measurementnon-lease components for all asset classes and elected to not recognize ROU assets and lease liabilities for leases with a term of Financial Assets12 months or less.

Adoption of the new standard resulted in the Company recording operating lease ROU assets and Financial Liabilities operating lease liabilities of $1,113,840 and Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 606 - Revenue from Contracts with Customers ("ASC 606"). $1,150,916 respectively, as of July 1, 2019. The ROU assets were recorded net of $37,076 in deferred rent adjustments that were previously recorded in accrued expenses and deferred rent on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of June 30, 2019. The adoption of this standard did not result in any cumulative-effect adjustments to retained earnings. Additionally, there was no impact on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income or the unaudited statement of cash flows as a result of the adoption of Topic 842 for the three months ended September 30, 2019.

Refer to Note 6 for additional disclosures over the Company’s leases.

The above (“ASU 2016-01”) entry reclasses accumulated gains from changes in short-term investment valuations previously recorded in comprehensive income to retained earnings. ASU 2016-01 requires that unrealized gains and losses arising from changes in market values of our investments in equity securities be recorded in the condensed consolidated statements of operations rather than in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) on the balance sheet. Prior to July 1- 2018, investment gains and losses related to equity securities were generally recorded when we sold, redeemed or exchanged investments.

 

The Company has reviewed new accounting pronouncements issued between September 28, 2018,30, 2019, the filing date of our most recent prior Annual Report on Form 10-K, and the filing date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and has determined that no new pronouncements issued are relevant to the Company, and/or have, or will have, a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or disclosure requirements.

BASIC AND DILUTED NET INCOME PER SHARE

 

Basic net incomeloss per share is based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted net incomeloss per share is based on the assumption that all dilutive convertible shares and stock options were converted or exercised. Dilution is computed by applying the treasury stock method. Under this method, options and warrants are assumed to be exercised at the beginning of the period (or at the time of issuance, if later), and as if funds obtained thereby were used to purchase common stock at the average market price during the period. The Company does not have any options or warrants.

 

Diluted net income per share reflects the effects of shares actually potentially issuable upon conversion of convertible preferred stock.

NOTE 6.

LEASES

The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating leases are included in operating lease right-of-use assets, accrued expenses, and long-term operating lease liabilities in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Right-of-use assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease right-of-use assets and liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. In determining the present value of lease payments, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the lease commencement date. The operating lease right-of-use assets also include any lease payments made at or before the commencement date and are reduced by any lease incentives received. The Company’s lease terms may include options to extend or not terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that it will exercise any such options. For the majority of its leases, the Company concluded that it is not reasonably certain that any renewal options would be exercised, and, therefore, the amounts are not recognized as part of operating lease right-of-use assets nor operating lease liabilities. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less, and certain office equipment leases which are deemed insignificant, are not recorded on the balance sheet and expensed as incurred and included within rent expense under general and administrative expense. Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the expected lease term.

The Company’s most significant leases are real estate leases of office, warehouse and production facilities. The remaining operating leases are primarily comprised of leases of printers and other equipment which are deemed insignificant. For all operating leases, the Company has elected the practical expedient permitted under Topic 842 to combine lease and non-lease components. As a result, non-lease components, such as common area or equipment maintenance charges, are accounted for as a single lease element. The Company does not have any finance leases.

Fixed lease expense payments are recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Variable lease payments vary because of changes in facts or circumstances occurring after the commencement date, other than the passage of time. Certain of the Company’s operating lease agreements include variable payments that are passed through by the landlord, such as insurance, taxes, and common area maintenance. Variable payments are deemed immaterial, expensed as incurred, and included within rent expense under general and administrative expense.

The Company leases various facilities and offices throughout the world including the following subsidiary locations:

Gourmet Foods has operating leases for its office, factory and warehouse facilities located in Tauranga, New Zealand, as well as for certain equipment including printers and copiers. These leases are generally for three-year terms, with some options to renew for an additional term. The leases mature between August 2021 and September 2022, and require monthly rental payments of approximately US$8,068 (GST not included) translated to U.S. currency as of September 30, 2019. Brigadier leases office and storage facilities in Regina, Saskatchewan. The minimum lease obligations for the Regina facility require monthly payments of approximately US$2,491 translated to U.S. currency as of September 30, 2019. Original Sprout currently leases office and warehouse space in San Clemente, CA under a three-year lease agreement expiring or renewing at March 1, 2021. Minimum monthly lease payments are approximately $7,837 with increases annually. Wainwright leases office space in Walnut Creek, California under an operating lease which expires in December 2024. Minimum monthly lease payments are approximately $12,000 with increases annually.

For the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, the combined lease payments of the Company and its subsidiaries totaled $96,524 and $67,848, respectively, and recorded under general and administrative expense in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. As of September 30, 2019 the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets included operating lease right-of-use assets totaling $1,005,006, recorded net of $37,480 in deferred rent, and $1,042,486 in total Operating lease liabilities.

Future minimum consolidated lease payments for Concierge and its subsidiaries are as follows:

BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

 

Acquisition of the assets of The Original Sprout, LLC

 

Kahnalytics, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Concierge Technologies domiciled in California, was founded during May 2015 for the purpose of carrying on the residual business from the disposal of Concierge Technologies' former subsidiary, Wireless Village dba/Janus Cam. As that business segment slowly wound down over the ensuing two years, management began a search for another business opportunity for Kahnalytics. Accordingly, on December 18, 2017, Kahnalytics acquired all of the assets of The Original Sprout, LLC, a California limited liability company. Simultaneous with the acquisition, Kahnalytics registered a "doing business as" (or "dba") name of “Original Sprout” and transitioned its business to the manufacture, warehousing and wholesale distribution of non-toxic, all-natural, hair and skin care products under the brand name Original Sprout. The acquisition by Kahnalytics was financed through a non-interest bearing note from Concierge Technologies. The purchase price was approximately $3.5 million with payments to be made over the course of a twelve-month period and per the estimated allocation as depicted in the following table.

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The Company records a valuation allowance against deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that such asset will not be realized. The Company continues to monitor the likelihood that it will be able to recover its deferred tax assets. If recovery is not likely, the Company must increase its provision for income taxes by recording a valuation allowance against the deferred tax assets.

 

The Company accounts for uncertain tax positions in accordance with the authoritative guidance on income taxes under which the Company may only recognize or continue to recognize tax positions that meet a "more likely than not" threshold. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as a component of the provision for income taxes.

 

19

As of September 30, 2018,2019, the Company's total unrecognized tax benefits were approximately $0.3 million, which would affect the effective tax rate if recognized. The Company will recognize interest and penalties, when they occur, related to uncertain tax provisionspositions as a component of tax expense. There is no interest or penalties to be recognized for the quarterthree months ended September 30, 20182019 or 2017.2018.

 

The Company is required to make its best estimate of the annual effective tax rate for the full fiscal year and use that rate to provide for income taxes on a current year-to-date basis. The Company recorded a tax provision of $0.1$0.03 million and $0.5$0.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 20182019 and 2017,2018, respectively. The effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 20182019 and 20172018 differed from the statutory rate primarily due to the mix of non-deductible items. The effective tax rate could fluctuate in the future due to changes in the taxable income mix between various jurisdictions.

 

The Company is subject to income taxes in the U.S. federal, various states, Canada and New Zealand tax jurisdictions. Tax regulations within each jurisdiction are subject to the interpretation of the related tax laws and regulations and require significant judgment to apply. The Company’s U.S. tax years 2014 through 2018 will remain open for examination by the federal and state authorities which is three and four years, respectively. The Company’s tax years from acquisition through 2018 remain open for examination by Canada and New Zealand authorities which is four years.

Plan of Operation for the Next Twelve Months

 

Our plan of operation for the next twelve months is to apply necessary resources, which may include experienced personnel, cash, or synergistic acquisitions made with cash, equity or debt, into thegrowing each of our business ofunits to their potential. Original Sprout is in the initial stages of transitioning from a largely boutique offering to grow that business segment to its potential.a more mainstream product and as such we anticipate measurable growth in revenues for the coming years. Additionally, we are expecting moderate growth in Brigadier through focused management initiatives and consolidation within the security industry.industry coupled with expanded product offerings. Similarly, we expect Gourmet Foods to be operating more efficiently under current management and continue to increase market share through additional product offerings and channels to market, including distribution in New Zealand of the products from Original Sprout. Wainwright will continue to develop innovative and new fund products to grow its portfolio. OurIn addition to our long-term mission that is to continue with ouran acquisition strategy bybased upon identifying and acquiring profitable, mature, companies of a diverse nature and with in-place management that produces increased revenue streams, the Company is also focused upon building expertise and developing FinTech opportunities in the financial services sector. In a more general sense, the Company is characterizing its business in two categories; 1) financial services and 2) other operating units. The purpose is to produce increasing revenue streams.isolate the cyclical nature of the financial services business from our other industry segments. As revenues from financial services fluctuate over time due to varying performance of the commodities markets, our other operations are expected to be stable and sustainable by comparison. By these initiatives we hopeseek to:

 

 

continue to gain market share for our wholly-owned subsidiaries’ areas of operation,

 

increase our gross revenues and realize net operating profits,

 

lower our operating costs by unburdening certain selling expenses to third party distributors,

 

become less reliant on any one industry segment for our working capital,have sufficient cash reserves to pay down accrued expenses,

 

attract parties who have an interest in selling their privately held companies to us,

 

achieve efficiencies in accounting and reporting through consolidated operations of our subsidiaries from a management perspective, and

 

strategically pursue additional company acquisitions.acquisitions, and

invest in the development of FinTech opportunities in the financial services space.

Liquidity and Capital Resources 

 

Concierge is a holding company that conducts its operations through its subsidiaries. At its holding-company level, its liquidity needs relate to operational expenses andexpense, the funding of additional business acquisitions.acquisitions and new investment opportunities. Our operating subsidiaries' principal liquidity requirements arise from cash used in operating activities, debt service, and capital expenditures, including purchases of equipment and services, operating costs and expenses, and income taxes.

As of September 30, 2018,2019, we had $7.6$6.9 million of cash and cash equivalents on a consolidated basis as compared to $7.5$6.5 million as of June 30, 2018.2019. The increase in cash was due to a direct result$606,163 income tax refund from the State of California offset in part by a near equal higherreduction in accounts payable.

During the current and past fiscal years combined, Concierge has invested approximately $3.5 million in cash towards purchasing and assimilating the Original Sprout assets into the Concierge Technologies group of companies. During the previous years ended June 30, 2016 through June 30, 2017, Concierge invested approximately $3.3 million in cash to acquire Gourmet Foods and Brigadier Security Systems as well as the acquisition through a stock-for-stock exchange of Wainwright, which provides a significant revenue stream and value. Despite these cash investments, our working capital position remains strong at $12 million and our position has strengthened year-to-year. Management forecasts Wainwright, Gourmet Foods, Brigadier and Original Sprout to all produce a profit during the coming fiscal year and the realization of those profits by Concierge is not expected to be significantly impacted by foreign currency fluctuations against the U.S. dollar during the period. While Concierge intends to maintain and improve its revenue stream from wholly owned subsidiaries, Concierge continues to pursue acquisitions of other profitable companies which meet its target profile. Provided Concierge’s subsidiaries continue to operate as they are presently, and are projected to operate, Concierge has sufficient capital to pay its general and administrative expenses for the coming fiscal year and to adequately pursue its long term business objectives.

In relation to the adoption of ASC 842 (see Note 2), the Company recognized $1,150,916 of operating lease liabilities on July 1, 2019. The total amount of accounts payabledue under these obligations was $1,062,486 and $0 as of September 30, 2018 compared to2019 and June 30, 2018.2019, respectively. The obligations will amortize over the passage of time through the recognition of periodic rent expense. See Note 6 for further analysis of this obligation.

 

Borrowings

 

As of September 30, 2018,2019, we had $0.7$1.0 million of related-party and third-party indebtedness on a consolidated basis as compared to $0.8$0.7 million as of June 30, 2018.2019. Approximately US$393,353 is owed by Brigadier and secured with the land and building in Saskatoon purchased in July 2019. Concierge, without inclusion of its subsidiary companies, as of September 30, 20182019 and June 30, 2018,2019, had $0.6 million of related-party indebtedness.

On April 8, 2016 and May 25, 2016, the Company entered into convertible promissory note agreements (the “Promissory Notes”) with the Gerber Irrevocable Family Trust, an affiliate of our shareholder and CEO, that resulted in the funding of $350,000 and with the Schoenberger Family Trust, an affiliate of our shareholder and director, that resulted in the funding of $250,000, respectively. The Promissory Notes bear interest at four percent (4%) per annum and increases to nineteen percent (19%) in the event of default by the Company. The Company and the noteholder negotiated the interest rate at arm’s length relying upon the available market rate for long-term deposits at financial institutions as well as the current rate of return realized by the noteholder for cash deposits currently held. Larger deposits traditionally fall into a “Jumbo” rate category with marginally higher returns. Interest ranged from annual percentage rates of 0.01% at the lowest to 1.75% at the highest. Recognizing the unsecured nature of the promissory note, and the historical record of continued operating losses by the Company, a rate of 4 percent annual interest was agreed upon in light of the heightened default risk over traditional investment instruments. There was no beneficial conversion feature identified as of the date of issuance of the Promissory Notes.

During the prior eighteen months, our subsidiary Brigadier has been purchasing new service vehicles to replace the aging leased vehicle fleet. The new vehicles are, in part, financed by a Saskatchewan-based bank through an installment loan agreement related to each vehicle collateralized individually as the vehicles are delivered. As of September 30, 2018,2019, Brigadier had in the aggregate, an outstanding principal balance of CD$139,067 (approximately520,742 (approx. US$107,794).393,353 translated as of September 30, 2019) related to the purchase of their Saskatoon office land and building. The Consolidated Balance Sheets as of September 30, 2019 and June 30, 2019 reflect the amount of the principal balance which is due within twelve months as a current liability of US$13,153 and a long term liability of US$380,200. As of June 30, 2019, the loan liability consisted of principal together withbalances outstanding for vehicle purchases. The principal amounts under the loans which were due within twelve months were recorded in short term liabilities as US$26,241, and after twelve months as US$61,057. These loans were paid in full as of September 30, 2019, whereas there was no liability for the loan related to the property purchase as of June 30, 2019. Total interest is amortized over 60 equal monthly installments. (Refer to Note 12 inon all loans for the Consolidated Financial Statements)three months ended September 30, 2019 was US$4,885 and US$2,016 for the three months ended September 30, 2018.
