NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

 

NOTE 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Condensed Financial Statements - The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of eRoomSystem Technologies, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (the "Company"). Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. These financial statements are condensed and, therefore, do not include all disclosures normally required by generally accepted accounting principles. These statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's annual financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014 included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K. In particular, the Company's organization, nature of operations and significant accounting principles were presented in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements in that annual report. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation have been included in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and consist of only normal recurring adjustments. The results of operations presented in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2015.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents – Cash and cash equivalents include highly-liquid debt investments with original maturities of three months or less, readily convertible to known amounts of cash.

 

Investments in Debt and Equity Securities Available for Sale – Debt and equity securities available for sale include securities that can be sold at any time based upon needs or market conditions. Available for sale securities are accounted for at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses on these securities, net of income tax provisions, reflected in stockholders’ equity as accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).

 

Accounts Receivable - Accounts receivable are stated at the historical carrying amount, net of write-offs and allowances. The Company has established an overall allowance based upon historical experience of 7% of the outstanding balance in addition to any specific customer collection issues identified by the Company. Uncollectible accounts receivable are written off when a settlement is reached or when the Company has determined that the balance will not be collected.

 

Inventory - The Company maintains an inventory of product that is sold in the refreshment centers in a number of hotels. The inventory is purchased as finished goods and is valued using the first in, first out method.

 

Advances to Hotels – The Company makes advances to hotels for their purchases of alcoholic beverages. The hotels’ alcoholic beverages are placed in the Company’s refreshment centers and the advances are settled at the date the hotel customers purchase the beverages from the refreshment centers.

 

Notes Receivable - The notes receivable are stated at the historical carrying amount, less a loan loss allowance, and are evaluated for impairment. When projections indicate that the carrying value of the note is not recoverable, the carrying value will be reduced by the estimated excess of the carrying value over the projected discounted cash flows. The Company has evaluated the collectability of current notes receivable and believes the notes are realizable as they are secured by the related real property and the estimated fair value of the real property is in excess of the carrying value of the notes and the estimated cost to foreclose and sell the real property.

 

Investment in Real Property Tax Liens – The investments in the real property tax liens are accounted for as an investment in troubled debts and are carried at cost. Collection of interest, penalties and expense reimbursements is not certain and is recognized upon being realized. The Company has evaluated the collectability of the tax liens and believes the investments are realizable over time as the first position liens are secured by the related real property and the estimated fair value of the real property is in excess of the carrying value of the tax liens and the estimated cost to foreclose and sell the real property. Therefore no impairment was recognized on the tax liens at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014.

 

Property and Equipment: Property and equipment consist primarily of eRoomServ refreshment centers and are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Major additions and improvements are capitalized, while repairs and maintenance costs are expensed when incurred.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

 

Net Earnings per Common Share - Basic earnings per common share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per common share is computed by dividing net income, by the weighted-average number of common shares and dilutive potential common share equivalents outstanding. When dilutive, the incremental potential common shares issuable upon exercise of stock options are determined by the treasury stock method.

 

The following table is a reconciliation of the numerators and denominators used in the calculation of basic and diluted loss per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014:

During the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, there were 92,500 and 242,500, respectively, of potential common stock equivalents from options were not included in the computation of diluted loss per share because their effect would have been anti-dilutive.

 

NOTE 2 – INVESTMENTS

 

Investment in Real Property Tax Liens – At June 30, 2015, the Company held $26,386 of real property tax liens, carried at lower of cost or estimated net realizable value, from various municipalities in New Jersey. The New Jersey municipal tax liens are receivable from the real property owners and are secured by a first priority lien on the related real property. Upon foreclosure, the Company would obtain ownership of the real property. The tax lien receivables accrue interest up to 18% per annum, accrue penalties at 2% to 6% and are also increased by the amount of any collection expenses incurred. Additional investments in real property tax liens were made during the six months ended June 30, 2015 in the amount of $3,698. The investment in the real property tax liens are accounted for as an investment in troubled debts and are carried at cost. Collection of interest, penalties and expense reimbursements is not certain and is recognized upon being realized.

NOTE 3 – NOTES RECEIVABLE

 

Non-Performing Loan

On July 24, 2008, the Company loaned $500,000 to BlackBird Corporation (“BlackBird”) under the terms of a 10% senior secured convertible promissory note (the “Secured Note”). The Secured Note bore interest at 10% per annum, payable quarterly, and was due June 30, 2009. In addition, BlackBird issued 50,000 shares of its common stock to the Company. BlackBird further agreed in July 2008, notwithstanding the terms of the note, if the loan was not repaid by January 1, 2009, interest on the note would accrue at 18% per annum starting January 1, 2009. The Secured Note was not paid by January 1, 2009 and it continued to accrue interest at 18% per annum. On April 1, 2011, the Company agreed to extend the due date of the Secured Note to June 30, 2011.

 

BlackBird did not pay its interest payment for the second quarter of 2011 in a timely fashion. On November 3, 2011, the Company entered into a forbearance agreement with BlackBird to reduce the interest rate on the Secured Note to 10% retroactive to April 1, 2011 and to not foreclose on BlackBird’s assets if BlackBird remains in compliance with the terms of the agreement. As part of this agreement, BlackBird agreed to pay all outstanding interest due on the loan through September 30, 2011 by November 11, 2011. BlackBird also agreed to make monthly interest payments within 10 days after the end of each month. The outstanding accrued interest of $25,069 as of September 30, 2011 was paid in full on November 10, 2011.

 

 

 

The concession granted to BlackBird on November 3, 2011 constituted a troubled debt restructuring under current accounting guidance. As a result, the note was classified as a long-term asset. Interest income under the terms of the Secured Note was no longer being recognized until the carrying value would be recovered, and payments received were recognized as a reduction of the carrying value of the note. During second quarter 2014, the Secured Note was paid in full and interest income of $124,451 was recognized. The carrying value of the note receivable was $399,863 at December 31, 2013.

 

Notes Receivable

In 2015 and 2014, the Company loaned $1,090,000 in amounts ranging from $250,000 to $450,000 to various parties for a one year term with mortgage notes ranging in interest from 5% - 12%. Interest is due and payable monthly. The entire principal amounts are due and payable on the maturity date. The mortgages are collateralized by either commercial or residential property. Proceeds collected on these notes in 2015 and 2014 totaled $13,828 and $400,000, respectively. The carrying amounts of loans outstanding on June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 were $1,083,767 and $702,500 including interest accrued. The carrying amount of the note receivable approximates its fair value based on its short-term maturity.

 

Accrued interest on notes receivable was $7,567 and $2,500 at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 respectively, and was included in notes receivable in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

 

NOTE 4 – STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2014, the Company granted options to purchase 75,000 shares of common stock to employees for services rendered. These options, which vested immediately, have an exercise price of $0.05 per share and are exercisable through March 24, 2019. These options were valued at approximately $0.04 per share, or $3,069, using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: market value of the common stock of $0.05 per share, risk free interest rate of 1.76%, dividend yield of 0.0%, volatility of 117% and expected life of 5 years. The pricing model utilized the full life of the options as the Company generally has a low turnover rate of its employees.

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2015, the Company granted options to purchase 50,000 shares of common stock to employees for services rendered. These options, which vested immediately, have an exercise price of $0.06 per share and are exercisable through April 20, 2020. These options were valued at approximately $0.05 per share, or $2,436, using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: market value of the common stock of $0.06 per share, risk free interest rate of 1.36%, dividend yield of 0.0%, volatility of 116% and expected life of 5 years. The pricing model utilized the full life of the options as the Company generally has a low turnover rate of its employees.

 

Stock-based compensation expense relating to stock options of $6,435 and $8,069 was recognized during the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. There was no unrecognized compensation related to stock options at June 30, 2015. A summary of stock option and warrant activity for the six months ended June 30, 2015 is as follows:

All of the options and warrants were exercisable at June 30, 2015. At June 30, 2015 the intrinsic value for the options and warrants outstanding was $3,750.

 

NOTE 5 – FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

 

Generally accepted accounting principles define fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. To measure fair value, a hierarchy has been established which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. This hierarchy uses three levels of inputs to measure the fair value of assets and liabilities as follows:

 

  

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

Level 2 – Observable inputs other than Level 1 including quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in less active markets, or other observable inputs that can be corroborated by observable market data.

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs supported by little or no market activity for financial instruments whose value is determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation.

 

The Company uses fair value to measure certain assets and liabilities on a recurring basis when fair value is the primary measure for accounting. Fair value is also used on a nonrecurring basis to measure certain assets when applying lower of cost or market accounting or when adjusting carrying values. Fair value is also used when evaluating impairment on certain assets, including notes receivable and long-lived assets. The following table sets forth the estimated fair values of the Company’s financial instruments that are measured at fair value on a reoccurring basis as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014:

Fair Value of Financial Instruments Not Required To Be Reported at Fair Value

 

The fair values of real property tax liens, notes receivable and notes receivable, non-performing, are based on a combination of the stated or implied interest rates at the measurement dates, approximate their carrying amounts and are considered to fall within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

 

NOTE 6 – CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK AND SIGNIFICANT CUSTOMERS

 

The Company's historical revenues and receivables have been derived primarily from the lodging industry. The Company offers credit terms in connection with its sale of products from refreshment centers. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers' financial condition and does not require collateral from its customers. The Company maintains an allowance for uncollectible accounts receivable based upon a percentage of accounts receivable at year end.

 

At June 30, 2015, the Company had accounts receivable from one customer which accounted for 48% of total accounts receivable and from a second customer which accounted for 22% of total accounts receivable.

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2015, revenues from one customer accounted for 34% of total revenues and 28% from a second customer.

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2014, revenues from one customer accounted for 35% of total revenues and 27% from a second customer.

Overview

 

In January 2014, the Company introduced to the lodging industry an amenity management platform, or the AMENITIES MANAGER™. The platform’s core is proprietary software that provides a cloud-based system to assist a hotel in enhancing its image and theme through distinctive products and managing its amenities with optimized efficiency.

 

The AMENITIES MANAGER™ deliver solutions in order to reduce operating costs, enhance hotel guest satisfaction and provide higher operating profits to our customers. The solutions offered by our AMENITIES MANAGER™ and related products have allowed us to establish relationships with many premier hotel chains. In addition to providing our customers with valuable amenity management solutions that pay for itself, our revenue-sharing program has allowed us to partner with our customers and provide our solutions at little or no up-front cost. Our customers share in revenues generated from the sale of goods and services related to our platform. As an alternative solution, we offer a turnkey arrangement which provides both products and restockers to hotels.

 

We continue to deploy our Amenities Manager™ at all hotels that we service. Additionally, to date, we have deployed over 12,000 refreshment centers at many hotel properties.

 

The solutions offered by our eRoomSystem and related products have allowed us to install our products and services in several premier hotel chains, including Marriott International, Hilton Hotels, Carlson Hospitality Worldwide, as well as in other boutique hotels in the United States and internationally.

 

Results of Operations

 

Revenue Recognition

 

We generate revenues from the sale of products in hotel in-room refreshment centers, from maintenance services and the lease of equipment. Revenue from the sale of refreshments from the refreshment centers is recognized upon removal of the item from the refreshment center by the hotel guest. Maintenance revenue is recognized as the services are performed. Lease revenue is recognized over the term of the lease. 

 

Description of Expenses

 

Cost of revenue consists primarily of cost of goods sold, as well as customer support and maintenance. 

 

  

Selling, general and administrative expenses primarily consist of general and administrative expenses including professional fees, salaries and related costs for accounting, administration, finance, human resources, information systems and legal personnel.

 

Research and development expenses consist of payroll and related costs for hardware and software engineers, quality assurance specialists, management personnel, and the costs of materials used by our consultants in research and development for new products. Research and development expenses in the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 were $22,569 and $24,440, respectively.

 

In accordance with ASC Codification Topic 730, “Accounting for Research and Development Costs”, development costs incurred in the research and development of new software products to be sold, leased or otherwise marketed are expensed as incurred until technological feasibility in the form of a working model has been established. Internally generated capitalizable software development costs have not been material to date. We have charged our software development costs to research and development expense in our condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASU 2014-09”), which stipulates that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. To achieve this core principle, an entity should apply the following steps: (1) identify the contract(s) with a customer, (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (3) determine the transaction price, (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, and (5) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation.  ASU 2014-09 will be effective for the Company retrospectively beginning January 1, 2017, with early adoption not permitted. Management is currently evaluating the impact of the pending adoption of ASU 2014-09 on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

Contractual Cash Obligations and Commercial Commitments

 

There were no significant contractual cash obligations or commercial commitments either on or off balance sheet as of June 30, 2015.

 

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements.

 

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

 

A smaller reporting company, as defined by Item 10 of Regulation S-K, is not required to provide the information required by this item.

 

Item 4.  Controls and Procedures

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have reviewed the effectiveness of our "disclosure controls and procedures" (as defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and have concluded that because of the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting due to lack of segregation of duties, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of June 30, 2015 to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and that the Company’s disclosure and controls are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Notwithstanding the material weakness discussed below, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that the condensed consolidated financial statements (unaudited) included in this Form 10-Q present fairly, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

 

  

Lack of Segregation of Duties

 

Management is aware that there is a lack of segregation of duties at the Company due to the small number of employees dealing with general administrative and financial matters. However, at this time management has decided that considering the abilities of the employees now involved and the control procedures in place, the risks associated with such lack of segregation are low and the potential benefits of adding employees to clearly segregate duties do not justify the substantial expenses associated with such increases. Management will periodically reevaluate this situation.

 

Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

 

There have been no changes  in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the Company’s last fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonable likely to materially  affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

 

   

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1.

Legal Proceedings

 

There are no pending legal proceedings to which the Company is a party or in which any director, officer or affiliate of the Company, any owner of record or beneficially of more than 5% of any class of voting securities of the Company, or security holder is a party adverse to the Company or has a material interest adverse to the Company. The Company’s property is not the subject of any pending legal proceedings.

 

Item 1A.

Risk Factors

 

A smaller reporting company, as defined by Item 10 of Regulation S-K, is not required to provide the information required by this item.

 

Item 2.

Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

 

On April 20, 2015, the Company granted immediately exercisable five-year options to purchase an aggregate of 50,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.06 per share to an employee for services provided to the Company.

 

On June 15, 2015, the Company granted shares of common stock to Lawrence K. Wein, a member of the Board of Directors, in the amount of 25,000 shares and to James Savas, a member of the Board of Directors, in the amount of 25,000 shares. The shares were issued for services provided to the Company.
