CALCULATION OF REGISTRATION FEE

 

Title of Each Class of Security Being Registered		Proposed Maximum Aggregate Offering Price (4)				Amount of Registration Fee
Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (1) (2)		$	7,000,000			$
Total						$	402.00	(2)

 

(1) Assumes the sale of 1,000,000 shares of Class A common stock being offered by the Registrant at an offering price of $7.00 per share. Estimated pursuant to Rule 457(o) under the Securities Act.

 

(2) Previously paid.

 

(3) In addition, pursuant to Rule 416 under the Securities Act, the Class A common stock registered hereby also includes an indeterminate number of additional shares of Class A common stock as may from time to time become issuable by reason of stock splits, stock dividends, recapitalizations or other similar transactions which occur during this continuous offering.

 

(4) There is no current market for the securities. Although the registrant’s common stock has a par value of $0.0001, the registrant believes that the calculations offered pursuant to Rule 457(f)(2) are not applicable and, as such, the registrant has valued the common stock in good faith and for the purposes of the registration fee, based on $7.00 per share. In the event of a stock split, stock dividend or similar transaction involving our common stock, the number of shares registered shall automatically be increased to cover the additional shares of common stock issuable pursuant to Rule 416 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. 

 

 

The registrant hereby amends this registration statement on such date or dates as may be necessary to delay its effective date until the registrant shall file a further amendment which specifically states that this registration statement shall thereafter become effective in accordance with section 8(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 or until the registration statement shall become effective on such date as the Securities and Exchange Commission, acting pursuant to said Section 8(a), may determine.

PRELIMINARY PROSPECTUS

SUBJECT TO COMPLETION

DATED October 21, 2016

 

1,000,000 Shares of Class A
Common Stock
BOXLIGHT CORPORATION

 

 

This prospectus relates to an initial offering of shares of Class A common stock of Boxlight Corporation, a Nevada corporation (the “Company” or “we”, “us”), par value $0.0001 per share. We may offer and sell from time to time up to 1,000,000 shares of our Class A Common Stock at a fixed price of $7.00 per share. There is no minimum number of shares that must be sold by us for the offering to proceed, and we will retain the proceeds from the sale of any of the offered shares.

 

The offering is being conducted on a self-underwritten, best efforts basis, which means our management and/or controlling stockholders will attempt to sell our Class A common stock pursuant to this prospectus directly to the public, with no commission or other remuneration payable to them for any shares they may sell. In offering the shares of Class A common stock on our behalf, management and controlling shareholder will rely on the safe harbor from broker-dealer registration set forth in Rule 3a4-1 under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. 1,000,000 shares of our Class A common stock will be offered at a fixed price of $7.00 per share for a period of 120 days from the effective date of this prospectus. The offering shall terminate on the first to occur of - (i) when the offering of 1,000,000 shares is fully subscribed for, (ii) February __, 2017 (120 days from the date of this prospectus), or (iii) earlier than February __, 2017 if we decide to terminate the offering prior to such date.

 

		Offering Price Per Share				Commissions (1)		Proceeds to Company Before Expenses
Common Stock		$	7.00			Not Applicable	(1)	$	7,000,000
Total		$	7.00			Not Applicable	(1)	$	7,000,000

 

(1) Our management and controlling stockholders may, from time to time, engage the services of one or more broker/dealers who are registered with the SEC to assist us in the sale of such shares. In such event, we may pay commissions to such broker/dealers which we estimate would be approximately 7% of the gross proceeds we receive from sales of our Class A common stock that are initiated by them. Accordingly, for example, if all 1,000,000 shares were sold through broker/dealers, our proceeds before expenses would be reduced to $6,510,000.

 

There is currently no public market for our Class A common stock and there can be no assurance that a market for such shares will develop either during or upon completion of this offering. In the event that during or upon completion of this offering, we meet the initial listing requirements under Nasdaq Rule 5505(a) and Rule 5505(b)(i), we will seek to list our Class A common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Markets under the symbol “BOXL”. Among other Nasdaq Capital Markets initial listing requirements, we would need to have at least 300 round lot holders of our Class A common stock and a minimum $15,000,000 in market value of our publicly traded shares (as defined). There is no assurance that we will be able to meet all Nasdaq listing requirements or that Nasdaq will approve our initial listing application. If we are unable to list our Class A common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Markets, such shares will trade on the OTCQB or OTCQX exchanges of the OTC Markets. For further information, see “Summary of the Offering on page __ of this prospectus and “Risk Factors” on page __ of this prospectus.

 

K Laser International Co., Ltd. recently purchased, for $1,000,00 3 , a total of 178,572 shares of our Class A common stock in a private placement at a price of $5.60 per share, and may consider the purchase, for up to $1,000,000, as many as 142,857 additional shares out of the 1,000,000 shares of Class A common stock offered by us in this initial public offering at $7.00 per share. In September and October 2016, we issued an aggregate of 219,580 additional restricted shares of our Class A common stock to 6 individuals, including our Chief Executive Officer, in exchange for their cancellation of a total of $236,830 of indebtedness and other obligations we owed to such persons. In September 2016, the Company issued additional 19,000 shares of Class A common stock in private placements at $1.00 per share.

 

We may amend or supplement this prospectus from time to time by filing amendments or supplements as required. You should read this entire prospectus and any amendments or supplements carefully before you make your investment decision.

 

Investing in our securities involves a high degree of risk. See “Risk Factors” beginning on page 11 of this prospectus for a discussion of information that should be considered in connection with an investment in our Class A common stock.

 

Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of these securities or determined if this prospectus is truthful or complete. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

 

We are an “emerging growth company” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and we have elected to comply with certain reduced public company reporting requirements.

 

The date of this prospectus is October __, 2016.

Similarly, internal surveys, industry forecasts and market research, which we believe to be reliable based on our management’s knowledge of the industry, have not been independently verified.

SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

This prospectus contains “forward-looking statements.” Forward-looking statements reflect the current view about future events. When used in this prospectus, the words “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “future,” “intend,” “plan,” or the negative of these terms and similar expressions, as they relate to us or our management, identify forward-looking statements. Such statements include, but are not limited to, statements contained in this prospectus relating to our business strategy, our future operating results and liquidity and capital resources outlook. Forward-looking statements are based on our current expectations and assumptions regarding our business, the economy and other future conditions. Because forward–looking statements relate to the future, they are subject to inherent uncertainties, risks and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict. Our actual results may differ materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements. They are neither statements of historical fact nor guarantees of assurance of future performance. We caution you therefore against relying on any of these forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements include, without limitation, market acceptance of our products; our ability to protect our intellectual property rights; the impact of any infringement actions or other litigation brought against us; competition from other providers and products; our ability to develop and commercialize new and improved products and services; our ability to complete capital raising transactions; and other factors (including the risks contained in the section of this prospectus entitled “Risk Factors”) relating to our industry, our operations and results of operations. Actual results may differ significantly from those anticipated, believed, estimated, expected, intended or planned.

 

Factors or events that could cause our actual results to differ may emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict all of them. We cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements. Except as required by applicable law, including the securities laws of the United States, we do not intend to update any of the forward-looking statements to conform these statements to actual results.

Boxlight Corporation

 

Boxlight Parent was incorporated in Nevada on September 18, 2014 for the purpose of becoming a technology company that sells interactive educational products. In May 2016, under an agreement effective as of April 1, 2016, Boxlight Parent acquired 100% of the membership interest in Mimio and on May 12 , 2016, Boxlight Parent acquired 100% of the membership interests of Genesis. On July 18, 2016, Boxlight Holdings, Inc., a newly formed Delaware subsidiary of Boxlight Parent acquired 100% of the capital stock of the Boxlight Group.

 

We are a technology company primarily focused on the education and learning industry. Our goal is to transform the way both teachers and students, from kindergarten through secondary school (K-12) and universities utilize visual images, computer graphics and dynamic interactive curricula to learn. We intend to achieve our goals by enabling our customers to deploy interactive teaching approaches using visual images and customary graphic display products on multiple surfaces, such as chalk boards, marker boards, blank walls or whiteboards. By providing interactive visual imaging we expect to enhance learning experiences in schools, government and businesses by bringing life to lessons and presentations. Research suggests that interactive whiteboards, and specifically interactive visual imaging can positively affect student engagement, motivation, understanding and review processes and accommodate students with different learning styles, including those who have special needs. We believe that both in the classroom and in the board room technology and interactive teaching products have demonstrated that they materially advance learning and communication.

 

Through the acquisitions of Mimio, the Boxlight Group and Genesis we seek to become a single source, world-leading innovator, manufacturer and integrator of interactive products for schools and universities, as well as for the instruction and professional development markets for business and governmental agencies. We intend to develop new products and expand the scope of our sales and marketing efforts to school districts, corporations and governmental agencies throughout the United States as well as in Europe, Asia, Africa and Latin America. In addition, we intend to further develop our technology by incorporating existing classroom management tools and software to establish a platform that will enable our clients to interact with each other to share presentations, lesson plans and other interactive learning techniques. Acquiring Genesis allows us to combine a traditional value added reseller and our products and technologies with sales and support teams representing multiple education and learning solution vendors and suppliers. We believe that as a result of the acquisitions, we represent a unique vertically integrated interactive technology company capable of providing products, sales and distribution and service and support to our customers.

 

For the year ended December 31, 2015, Boxlight Parent retrospectively adjusted for the acquisitions of Mimio and Genesis incurred a consolidated loss of approximately $2,259,000 on total revenues of $3,377,000 and the Boxlight Group incurred a combined loss of approximately $536,000 on combined revenues of approximately $12,075,000. For the six months ended June 30, 2016, Boxlight Parent incurred a consolidated loss of approximately $239,000 on total revenues of $7,494,000 and the Boxlight Group incurred a combined loss of approximately $726,000 on combined revenues of approximately $5,766,000.

The Boxlight Group Parent intends to expand the Boxlight Group’s marketing efforts in both the United States as well as in Europe, Asia, Africa and Latin America after the acquisition.

 

 

Boxlight Group Products

 

ProjectoWrite Interactive Projectors:

 

The Boxlight Group sells and distributes a suite of patented, award-winning interactive projectors that offer a wide variety of features and specifications to suit the varying needs of instructors, teachers and presenters. With an interactive projector, any wall, whiteboard or other flat surface becomes interactive. A teacher, moderator or student can use the included pens or fingers as a mouse to write or draw images displayed on the surface. As with interactive whiteboards, interactive projectors accommodate multiple users simultaneously. Images that have been created through the projected interactive surface can be saved as computer files. The Boxlight Group’s new ProjectoWrite 12 series, launched in February 2016, allows the simultaneous use of up to ten simultaneous points of touch.

 

External Interactive Devices:

 

The Boxlight Group sells and distributes OutWrite interactive modules that employ a patented complementary metal oxide silicon, or CMOS camera, to make any non-interactive short-throw or standard-throw projector interactive. The OutWrite modules feature a preview window when connected via USB cable to allow simple setup and calibration. The Boxlight Group has sold an interactive module that includes an embedded Android device. The OutWrite device allows for the same touch emulation with interactive pens as the P5 interactive projectors.

 

Interactive LED Flat Panels:

 

The Boxlight Group offers the HD 55”, 65” and 4k 75” and 84” ProColor series of interactive LED panels. All models include an optional computer slot for the inclusion of an onboard Windows 8 and 10 computer . ProColor Interactive LED panels utilize infrared blocking technology, offering 10 points of touch for simultaneous interaction by multiple users. ProColor’s built-in speakers add room-filling sound to the display’s vivid colors.

 

Peripherals and Accessories

 

The Boxlight Group also offers a line of peripherals and accessories, including amplified speaker systems, non-interactive projectors, mobile carts, installation accessories and adjustable wall-mount accessories that complement its entire line of interactive projectors, LED flat panels and standard projectors. The height and tilt adjustable DeskBoard mobile cart, which won the Best of ISTE in June 2014 for Best Hardware product, can be used as an interactive screen or interactive desktop with its P12 ultra-short throw interactive projectors.

 

Boxlight Group Supplier

 

The Boxlight Group does not manufacture any of the products it sells and distributes. The products sold and distributed by the Boxlight Group are primarily manufactured by and purchased from Everest Display Technologies, Inc., a Taiwan corporation (“EDI”) and its direct and indirect subsidiaries. On July 18, 2016, Boxlight Holdings Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Boxlight Parent acquired 100% of the equity of the Boxlight Group, and EDI and/or its subsidiary received 270,000 shares of Series C preferred stock, valued at $5,400,000. Such Series C preferred stock shall be automatically convertible into 22.221% of our “fully-diluted common stock” (as defined) upon completion of this offering. As of the date of this prospectus, the Boxlight Group owes EDI and its subsidiaries approximately $4.6 million in accrued and unpaid accounts of which $1,000,000 was paid in July 2016 under the terms of the share purchase agreement dated as of May 12, 2016 and $2,000,000 was settled with a note convertible to the Company’s Class A Common Stock at 80% of the Company’s IPO price. For further information, see “Prospectus Summary – Terms of Boxlight Group Acquisition” on page 3 of this prospectus, “Principal Stockholders” on page 66 of this prospectus, and “Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions” on page 64 of this prospectus.

The Education and Learning Technology Market

 

The global education industry is undergoing a significant transition, as primary and secondary school districts, colleges and universities, as well as governments, corporations and individuals around the world are increasingly recognizing the importance of using technology to more effectively provide information to educate students and other users in knowledge-based societies. “Smart education” denotes a range of technologies employed to enhance the delivery and administration of education across various segments such as K-12, higher education, enterprise, government and healthcare. This market is broadly segmented by four major parameters, namely; product type, application type, e-learning modes, and geography.

 

According to a market research report, “Smart Education and Learning Market: Advanced Technologies, Digital Models, Adoption Trends and Worldwide Market Forecast (2012-2017),” the global smart education and learning market is expected to reach $220.0 billion by 2017 at a compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) of 20.3% from 2012 to 2017. The market for education and learning software is estimated to reach $37.2 billion, and the market for education and learning hardware is estimated to reach $12.1 billion by 2017. In 2011, North America accounted for about 60% of global revenue and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 15.2% from 2012 to 2017. In the United States, the K-12 education sector represents one of the largest industry segments. According to a September 2011 report to the President from the Counsel of Economic Advisors, the U.S. education market accounted for over $638 billion of expenditures, or about 4.4% of the 2011 U.S. gross domestic product, as measured by National Center for Educational Statistics for the 2010-2011 school year. According to a November 2013 study by Bank of America Merrill Lynch, total global spending on corporate eLearning was $25.5 billion in 2012 and expected to reach $32.1 billion by 2015 and $37.5 billion by 2017— an 8% CAGR between 2012 and 2017.

 

 

Our Opportunity

 

We believe that as a result of our acquisitions of the Boxlight Group, Mimio and Genesis, we are strongly positioned to become a leading manufacturer and provider of interactive educational products in the global learning and educational market—based on our existing products and those we intend to develop either alone or in collaboration with other technology companies. We believe that close connection between levels of educational attainment, evolving educational standards, personal career prospects and economic growth will increase the demand for our interactive educational products. Some of the factors that may impact our opportunity include:

 

Growth in U.S. K-12 Market Expenditures. Partially due to the recent recovery from the world-wide recession that resulted in significant cuts in 2011 and 2012 federal, state and local educational budgets, significant resources are again being devoted to primary and secondary education in the United States. As set forth in the Executive Office of the President, Council of Economic Advisers’ report, Unleashing the Potential of Educational Technology, U.S. education expenditure has been estimated at approximately $1.3 trillion, with K-12 education accounting for close to half ($625 billion) of this spending.

 

International Catalysts Driving Adoption of Learning Technology. According to Ambient Insights 2012 Snapshot of the Worldwide and US Academic Digital Learning Market, substantial growth in revenues for eLearning products in the academic market segment are anticipated throughout the world due to several convergent catalysts, including, population demographics, such as significant growth in numbers of 15-17 year old students and women in education in emerging markets; government-funded education policies mandating country-wide deployment of digital learning infrastructures; large scale digitization efforts in government and academic markets; significant increases in the amount of digital learning content; migration to digital formats by major educational publishers and content providers; mass purchases of personal learning devices and strong demand for learning platforms, content and technology services; and the rapid growth of part-time and fulltime online student enrollments.

 

Trends in Tech-Savvy Education. While industries from manufacturing to health care have adopted technology to improve their results, according to Trends in Tech-Savvy Education (Stanford Graduate School of Business), education remains heavily reliant on “chalk and talk” instruction conducted in traditional settings; however, that is starting to change as schools and colleges adopt virtual classrooms, data analysis, online games, highly customized coursework, and other cutting-edge tools to help students learn.

 

Increasing Focus on Accountability and the Quality of Student Education. U.S. K-12 education has come under significant political scrutiny in recent years. An independent task force report published in March of 2012 by the Council on Foreign Relations, a non-partisan membership organization and think tank, observed that American students rank far behind global leaders in international tests of literacy, math and science, and concluded that the current state of U.S. education severely impairs the United States’ economic, military and diplomatic security as well as broader components of America’s global leadership.

 

New Technologies. In addition to white boards and interactive projectors, other technologies are being adapted for educational uses on the Internet, mobile devices and through cloud-computing, which permit simultaneous sharing of digital files and programs among multiple computers or other devices through a virtual network. Handheld devices, including smartphones, tablets, e-readers and digital video technologies, are now fundamental to the way students communicate.

 

Demand for Interactive Projectors is on the Rise. As a complete system, interactive projectors are considerably less expensive than interactive whiteboards or interactive flat panel displays, placing them at a distinct advantage in price sensitive markets. According to FutureSource, an industry publication, “sales of interactive projectors are expected to grow steadily from 2014 to 2017 with a CAGR at 10.3% worldwide.”

 

Our Strategic Goals

 

We believe that our future success will depend upon many factors, including those discussed below. While these areas represent opportunities for us, they also represent challenges and risks that we must successfully address.

 

	●	Investing in research and development. We believe that, following consummation of this offering, our performance will be significantly dependent on the investments we make in research and development and that we must continually develop and introduce innovative products, enhance existing products and effectively stimulate customer demand for existing and future products.
	●	Investing in sales and marketing. We intend to invest significant resources in our marketing, advertising and brand management efforts.

 

 

	●	Expanding our technology base. Our long-term growth will depend in part on our ability to continually expand our product and technology offerings. We intend to do so, both through our internal research and development initiatives, as well as through strategic acquisition opportunities and joint ventures that may develop.
	●	Developing an integrated sales and distribution strategy through acquisitions and joint ventures. In addition to Genesis, we believe there are opportunities for us to acquire a number of value added resellers that are focused on the education and learning technologies market segments, have gained the trust and support of local school districts and governmental agencies, and are located in geographically strategic areas throughout the United States and internationally. We believe that, with adequate capital and infrastructure, we can materially increase our revenues and scope by acquiring or joint venturing with a number of these companies. Our vision is to bring together many of these education focused resellers into a cohesive network that will provide proven sales and sales-related services and support across the United States and internationally.
	●	Developing strategic partnerships and alliances. We currently work with a variety of major software and hardware solution providers, with whom we are developing embedded solutions to offer buffered content inside our projectors to allow smooth content streaming across multiple platforms. We intend to further existing and develop additional strategic partnerships and alliances.

 

Selected Risks Associated With Our Business

 

Investment in our Class A common stock is subject to a number of risks, which are more fully described starting on page 11 of this prospectus. These risks include:

	●	We may be unable to pay the $1,460,508 remaining balance due to Skyview Capital LLC on December 15, 2016 under the $3,960,508 restated Skyview Note; which default could result in the note holder’s foreclosure on the assets of our Mimio subsidiary which could ultimately lead to our bankruptcy and the loss of subscribers’ entire investment in our Class A common stock;
	●	We have significant short-term debt and other obligations and the proceeds of this offering may not be sufficient to enable us to sufficiently reduce such obligations and avoid defaults to our lenders and other creditors, including certain key vendors;
	●	Our operating results and working capital requirements are subject to seasonal fluctuations;
	●	We operate in highly competitive industries;
	●	We need to develop new, and enhance existing products and technologies to remain competitive;

	●	We use resellers and distributors to promote and sell our products;
	●	We may not be able to obtain patent protection on new products and may suffer if we face claims of patent infringement; and
	●	We may not be able to integrate our recent acquisitions or manage our acquisition strategy effectively.

 

Our History; Existing and Proposed Acquisitions

 

In April 2013, Vert Capital Corp, formerly our principal stockholder, acquired, through a newly formed Delaware subsidiary, all of the outstanding shares of capital stock of a Georgia company that primarily distributed whiteboards to school districts, which business was discontinued in the first quarter of 2014. On October 31, 2013, Vert Capital’s subsidiary acquired all of the outstanding membership interests of Genesis, in exchange for 1,000,000 shares of Series B preferred stock of the Delaware subsidiary.

 

Boxlight Parent was incorporated in Nevada on September 18, 2014, for the purpose of becoming a technology company that sells interactive educational products into the education market.

 

Terms of the Mimio Acquisition.

 

Effective April 1, 2016, pursuant to a membership interest purchase agreement, Boxlight Parent acquired 100% of the membership interest in Mimio, from Mim Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation wholly-owned by a trust established for the benefit of members of the families of affiliates of VC2 Partners LLC, in exchange for a four percent $2,000,000 unsecured convertible promissory note due March 31, 2019 (the “Marlborough Note”), and the assumption of an original six percent $3,425,000 senior secured note of Mim Holdings due July 3, 2016 that was payable to Skyview Capital, LLC, (“Skyview”), the former equity owner of Mimio (the “Skyview Note”). For purposes of the membership interest purchase agreement, the sale to Boxlight Parent, was deemed to have been consummated as of April 1, 2016.

 

The Skyview Note was originally issued by Mim Holdings to Skyview on November 4, 2015 as payment for the acquisition of 100% of the membership equity of Mimio. On July 5, 2016, Skyview, Boxlight Parent and Mim Holdings entered into an amendment, effective as of June 30, 2016 and, on August 1, 2016, both parties entered into a second amendment to the original Mimio purchase agreement. Under the terms of the August 1, 2016 amendment;

 

	●	Total amount payable to Skyview was increased to $4,010,508, which included $50,000 in cash plus accrued interest through July 2016 paid by us on August 4, 2016 and the Skyview Note was amended and restated as a $3,960,508 principal amount installment note. On September 29, 2016, we paid a $2,500,000 installment payment under the Skyview Note out of the proceeds of a senior secured debt financing.
	●	We may be unable to pay the $1,460,508 remaining balance due on December 15, 2016 under $3,960,508 restated Skyview Note, which default could result in the note holder’s foreclosure on the assets of our Mimio subsidiary;
	●	Skyview agreed to subordinate its lien and security interest on the Mimio assets and right to payment of the final installment of the restated Skyview Note to the priority lien and security interest of our senior secured asset based lender; and
	●	The restated Skyview Note is now guaranteed by Boxlight Parent, Mim Holdings, VC2 Partners LLC, the former owner of Mim Holdings, and Vert Capital Corp.

 

On September 29, 2016, the Boxlight Group and Mimio, as borrowers, entered into a maximum $5,000,000 senior secured line of credit facility with Crestmark Bank (“Crestmark”) secured by a first priority lien and security interest on the assets of both Mimio and the Boxlight Group. On September 29, 2016, upon closing of the credit facility, based on an advance formula based on up to 85% of our eligible accounts receivable and $350,000 of inventory, a total of $2,911,390 was advanced by Crestmark. Such advance, together with available cash reserves and proceeds from the sale of $1,000,003 of our Class A common stock to K Laser, were used to retire the $350,266 outstanding balance owed under an existing senior secured note issued in July 2016 to Hitachi Capital America Corp. and to pay the September 30, 2016 installment of $2,500,000 due to Skyview Capital under the Skyview Note. All outstanding advances under the Crestmark line of credit facility bear interest at the rate of 2.25% in excess of the prime rate of interest as published by the Wall Street Journal, subject to a minimum 5.75% rate per annum. All advances under the Crestmark line of credit are payable on demand. Boxlight Parent has guaranteed all obligations under the Crestmark line of credit and secured its guaranty by a lien on the assets of Boxlight Parent. A number of our creditors, including Skyview Capital, EDI., Mim Holdings and Mark Elliott, our Chief Executive Officer, have agreed to subordinate their claims to the prior payment and lien of Crestmark . Although we were able to pay the $2,500,000 installment due on September 30, 2016 under the Skyview Note, there can be no assurance that we will be able to pay the $1,460,508 remaining principal balance plus accrued interest payable on December 15, 2016. See “Risk Factors” on page 11.

 

Prior to the sale of Mimio to Boxlight Parent, VC2 Partners LLC (the former owner of Mim Holdings) assigned its equity in Mim Holdings to the Marlborough Brothers Family Trust (the “Marlborough Trust”). The Marlborough Trust was established for the benefit of members of the families of Adam Levin and Michael Pope. Mr. Pope is the President and a member of our board of directors, and members of the families of Messrs. Levin and Pope , are beneficiaries of other trusts who are principal stockholders of Boxlight Parent. See “Principal Stockholders” on page 66 of this Prospectus.

 

 

The Marlborough Note is convertible by the holder into Class A common stock of Boxlight Parent at a per share conversion price equal to 55% of the initial offering price per share of BOXL common stock offered to the public under the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part. Accordingly, and assuming a $7.00 per share initial offering price of the shares offered hereby, the $2,000,000 Marlborough Note would be convertible into an aggregate of 519,481 shares of our Class A common stock, based on a $3.85 per share conversion price. The Marlborough Note has full-ratchet anti-dilution protection and is pre-payable at the Company’s election during the first 180 days after issuance at premiums of 25% to 45%. Under various circumstances, including a change in control of the Company or a default on the note, at the holder’s option, the Company must prepay the Marlborough Note with a 50% premium.

 

Acquisition of the Boxlight Group

 

On July 18, 2016, we acquired 100% of the equity of the Boxlight Group in accordance with the terms of a share purchase agreement, dated May 12, 2016, with Everest Display, Inc., a Taiwan corporation (“EDI”) and its subsidiary, Guang Feng International Ltd. (“Guang Feng”), the former shareholder of the Boxlight Group.

 

Under the terms of the share purchase agreement, Boxlight Holdings, Inc., a newly formed Delaware subsidiary of Boxlight Parent acquired the equity of the Boxlight Group, and paid to EDI or its subsidiaries a purchase price valued at $5,400,000. The purchase price was paid by delivery of 270,000 shares of Boxlight Parent Series C Preferred Stock, that has a stated or liquidation value of $20.00 per share. Upon completion of this offering and subject to the listing of our Class A common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market or other securities exchange acceptable to EDI, the Series C Preferred Stock shall automatically, and without any further action on the part of the holders or Boxlight Parent, convert into shares of Class A common stock as defined by the agreement. Such newly converted shares of Class A common stock to be issued to EDI or its subsidiary, (including certain bonus shares of Class A common stock representing 8% of the shares issuable upon conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock), will total 2,168,168 shares of Boxlight Parent Class A common stock, representing approximately 22.22% of our fully-diluted common stock as defined by the agreement . Hank Nance, our Chief Operating Officer, will receive 94,122 of these shares.

 

Effective July 6, 2016, the Company entered into a loan and security Agreement with Hitachi Capital America Corp. (“Hitachi”). The agreement allows the Company to borrow up to $2,500,000 based on eligible accounts receivable and inventory at an interest rate equal to one and three quarters (1.75%) in excess of the prime rate. The loan is due and payable on demand. Under the terms of the Hitachi loan agreement, we applied $1,000,000 of the initial funding to pay EDI $1,000,000 in reduction of the Boxlight Group’s outstanding accounts payable. The Hitachi loan is secured by all assets of Boxlight Inc. and guaranteed by Boxlight Parent. We retired the outstanding amount payable to Hitachi on September 29, 2016, out of the proceeds of the line of credit financing received from Crestmark.

 

Under the terms of the EDI share purchase agreement, as amended on September 28, 2016, the parties agreed that the Boxlight Group and Boxlight Parent will settle and pay approximately $5.75 million of accrued accounts payable owed to EDI on May 12, 2016, in the manner set forth below.

 

	●	$1,000,000 was paid at the closing of the Boxlight Group acquisition out of the net proceeds of the Hitachi financing;
	●	An additional $1,500,000 of the $5.75 million owed to EDI was to be paid by the Boxlight Group in in six monthly installments of $250,000 each, commencing 30 days after the initial $1,000,000 payment referred to above. However, in view of the fact that such installment payments cannot be presently made by our Boxlight Group under the subordination agreement between EDI and Crestmark Bank, we and EDI agreed that the “net proceeds” Boxlight Parent may receive from the sale of 1,000,000 shares of Class A common stock offered hereby shall be applied, first, to prepay the $1,460,508 principal balance due under the Skyview Note, and second to prepay the balance of the $1,500,000 installment obligation owed to EDI referred to above. We agreed with EDI that “Net Proceeds” means professional fees estimated at approximately $300,000, plus any commissions or underwriting fees that may be payable by Boxlight Parent to brokers, placement agents or underwriters who assist us in sell the shares of Class A common stock in this offering’;
	●	$2,000,000 of the unpaid balance of our account payable is settled with a 4% non-negotiable convertible promissory note of Boxlight Parent payable to EDI, together with accrued interest, due on March 31, 2019 (the “EDI Note”). Following completion of this offering, the EDI Note is convertible to shares of our Class A common stock at a conversion price equal to 80% of the initial per share offering price of the Class A common stock offered under this prospectus (estimated at $5.60 or 80% of our anticipated $7.00 initial offering price per share). Under the terms of the EDI Note, we have the option, in lieu of issuing our Class A common stock to prepay, within 72 hours of the first conversion notice, the entire unpaid principal amount of the EDI Note plus accrued interest thereon.
	●	the remaining balance of the accrued accounts payable shall be paid over time in the ordinary course of our business.

 

For so long as we and the Boxlight Group comply with the above arrangements to settle and pay the accounts payable, EDI and its affiliates shall continue to supply products to us and provide payment terms to us which are no less favorable than those provided to other credit-worthy customers. In addition, EDI and its affiliates have orally agreed in principle to provide Boxlight Parent and all of our subsidiaries, including the Boxlight Group and Mimio with a 10% price reduction on all units of products sold to us and our subsidiaries.

 

After this offering and subject to customary conditions, EDI and the other holders of our Class A Common Stock will be entitled to have shares registered for resale under the Securities Act, if Boxlight Parent files a resale registration statement for the account of any other stockholder or if otherwise permitted by any subsequent underwriter of our securities.

 

As provided in our agreement with EDI, we intend to apply the first $1,460,508 of the net proceeds we may receive in this offering to retire the balance owed under the Skyview Note and the next $1,500,000 of net proceeds to reduce our accounts payable owed to EDI. In addition to our remaining obligation to EDI, we are indebted to other vendors and service providers in the aggregate amount of approximately $7,953,000, of which $4,786,000 has been outstanding for more than 90 days. There can be no assurance that we will receive sufficient net proceeds from this offering or from private placements of our securities to retire or sufficiently reduce our obligations to Skyview, EDI and our other creditors. See “Use of Proceeds” on page -- and “Risk Factors” on page -- of this prospectus.

 

Acquisition of Genesis

 

Effective as of September 30, 2014, Vert Capital’s inactive Delaware subsidiary Logical Choice Corporation (“LCC - Delaware”) distributed 100% of Genesis’s membership interests to Vert Capital, and, on January 31, 2015, BOXL, Vert Capital, and the former members of Genesis entered into an agreement whereby Boxlight Parent will acquire 100% of the outstanding equity of Genesis from Vert Capital upon consummation of this offering. On May 9, 2016, the parties amended such agreement and Vert Capital contributed the Genesis membership interests to Boxlight Parent. Accordingly, Boxlight Parent now owns 100% of the equity of Genesis.

 

In connection with Boxlight Parent’s acquisition from Vert Capital of 100% of the equity of Genesis, other than one share of common stock of LCC - Delaware retained by Vert Capital, each of Vert Capital and the four former members of Genesis returned to treasury all of their ownership equity in LCC - Delaware, and the former members of Genesis received 1,000,000 shares of Boxlight Parent Series B Preferred Stock which, upon consummation of this offering, will automatically convert into 390,252 shares of our Class A common stock, or such other number of shares as will represent 4.0% of our “fully diluted common stock.”

 

As a result of the above transactions, we acquired 100% of the equity interest of Genesis in exchange for 4.0% of our Class A fully-diluted common stock, to be issued to the former Genesis members upon automatic conversion of the 1,000,000 shares of Series B preferred stock. At the same time, Vert Capital and the former Genesis members returned to LCC - Delaware’s treasury all but one share of capital stock of LCC - Delaware, leaving Vert Capital as LCC - Delaware’s sole stockholder. Vert Capital will not transfer this one share of capital stock of LCC – Delaware. Therefore, we have no interest and will have no interest in LCC – Delaware and no interest in Vert Capital.

 

An aggregate of 250,000 shares of BOXL’s non-voting convertible Series A preferred stock originally intended to be issued to Vert Capital, to be held in trust for the benefit of the existing holders of Series A preferred stock in LCC-Delaware will, as of the effective date of this prospectus be automatically converted into 420,168 shares of our Class A common stock and distributed to the 63 former holders of LCC-Delaware preferred stock. Such 420,168 share of our Class A common stock are being registered for resale under the Selling Stockholder Prospectus, but are restricted on resale for a period of one year from the date of this prospectus.

 

 

In summary, we have issued the following shares of our capital stock in connection with the acquisitions of Mimio, the Boxlight Group and Genesis:

 

	●	in exchange for 100% of the shares of the Boxlight Group, a total of 270,000 shares of our Series C preferred stock were issued to EDI and its affiliates, which, upon our listing of our Class A common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market or other securities exchange acceptable to EDI, will automatically convert into 2,007,563 shares of our Class A common stock, or 20.575% of our fully-diluted common stock before giving effect to this offering, certain conversion of payable to our Class A common stock and our private placement in September and October 2016. An additional 160,605 Class A shares are designated as bonus shares and will be issued to senior management and senior employees who have worked for EDI and its direct and indirect subsidiaries for more than 10 years, including Henry (“Hank”) Nance, our Chief Operating Officer, will receive approximately 59% of the bonus shares. In addition, we have also agreed to grant employee stock options entitling the Boxlight Group employees to purchase upon full vesting, at the offering price of our Class A common stock, an additional 195,126 shares of our Class B common stock or such other number of shares as represents 2.0% of our fully diluted common stock (the “Boxlight Group Options”). Class B common stock is identical to Class A common stock, except that Class B common stock carries no vote, other than as required by law. Our Class B common stock will automatically convert into shares of Class A common stock upon any public or private sale by any holder of Class B common stock. Mr. Nance, who is a senior executive employee of the Boxlight Group, will receive approximately 44% of the Boxlight Group Options. Under the terms of the share purchase agreement, the term “fully-diluted common stock” excludes shares of our Class A common stock sold in this offering or in the private placements consummated in September and October, 2016. The fully-diluted common stock also excludes shares issued for settlement of outstanding payable.
	●	On September 28, 2016, we sold to K Laser, the principal stockholder of EDI, an aggregate of 178,572 shares of our Class A common stock at a purchase price of $5.60 per share and received net proceeds of $1,000,003. Such shares are deemed to be “restricted securities” under Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
	●	a total of 1,000,000 shares of our Series B preferred stock were issued to the four former members of Genesis, which will automatically convert into 390,252 shares of Class A common stock or such other number of shares as represents 4.0% of our fully-diluted common stock before giving effect to this offering; and
	●	A total of 270,000 shares of Boxlight Parent Series A Preferred stock that are convertible into 420,168 shares of our Class A common stock are being held in trust by Vert Capital and will be converted and distributed to the 63 former holders of LCC-Delaware Series A Preferred Stock, and will be registered for resale within one year from the date of this prospectus.

 

In addition, in exchange for a transfer to Boxlight Inc. of the “Boxlight” and “Boxlight Display” trademarks, we have agreed to issue to the current owner of such trademarks a number of Class A common shares as determined by dividing $250,000, by the initial per share offering price of our Class A common stock.

 

For the purpose of the acquisition agreements, fully diluted common stock includes all outstanding Boxlight Parent common stock and all shares issuable upon conversion of preferred stock and exercise of all warrants and options to purchase BOXL common stock that would be outstanding after giving effect to the acquisitions of the Boxlight Group and Genesis and the exchange transaction referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph. However, such term does not include any of the shares of Class A common stock or securities convertible into or exercisable for Class A common stock (“Common Stock Equivalents”) that are issuable upon conversion of the Marlborough Note, or the EDI Note, any shares of Class A common stock being offered under this prospectus, or any shares of Class A common stock or Common Stock Equivalents issued or issuable in connection with any one or more private placements, provided that the proceeds are used to reduce indebtedness and for working capital. As of the date of this prospectus, after giving pro forma effect to the conversion of all Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock and Series C Preferred Stock, all shares of Class A common stock issued in the private placements described below, and exercise of all stock options and warrants, there would be outstanding an aggregate of 10,174,424 shares of Boxlight Parent Class A common stock. None of the shares to be issued to EDI and its affiliates, to K Laser or to the members of Genesis and issued in trust for the benefit of the LCC - Delaware Series A preferred holders will be registered under the Securities Act, in reliance upon the exemption from registration set forth in Section 4(a)(2) under the Securities Act.

 

Upon consummation of this offering, our organizational structure will be as set forth below. All subsidiaries are wholly owned.

 

 

 

Private Placements and Nasdaq Initial Listing Requirements .

 

In September 2016, Boxlight Parent sold an aggregate of 178,572 shares of our Class A common stock to K Laser at a price of $5.60 per share, for a total of $1,000,00 3 in net proceeds to us. The per share sales price is intended to be 80% of the initial price per share of Class A common stock offered to the public under this prospectus. Accordingly, the 178,572 share of Class A common stock are subject to increase in the event that the initial offering price of the shares offered under this prospectus is less than $7.00. The $5.60 price and the number of shares sold in the private placement will not change if the initial per share offering price under this prospectus shall be greater than $7.00. The private placement was conducted through the efforts of our management and with the assistance of K Laser and its affiliates. No commissions or other compensation was paid in connection with such private placement. The $1,000,003 of net proceeds of such private placement were used, together with the proceeds of the Crestmark financing, to retire prior senior secured indebtedness to Hitachi and pay the $2,500,000 installment due under the Skyview Note. In addition, Boxlight Parent also sold additional 19,000 shares of Class A common stock for $19,000 in September and October 2016.

 

In September and October, 2016, prior to the date of this prospectus, Boxlight Parent issued to 5 accredited investors (including Mark Elliott, our Chief Executive Officer) an aggregate of 215,830 additional shares of our Class A common stock at a price of $1.00 per share. The purpose of the issuances of these $1.00 Shares was intended to reduce debt and related obligations aggregating $215,830 that was owed to such individuals. In October 2016, Boxlight Parent issued additional 3,750 shares at $5.60 per share to settle accounts payable of $21,000.

 

Although we believe that we meet all of the initial requirements to list our Class A common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market, there can be no assurance that the Nasdaq Stock Market will agree to list our Class A common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market. Even if our shares are so listed, there is no assurance that we will be able to meet the continuing requirements to maintain the listing of our Class A common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market. If we are unable to list our Class A common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market or, if listed, we are unable to meet the ongoing maintenance requirements for continued listing, our Class A common stock will trade on the OTCQB or OTCQX Market Exchange, which may have a material adverse effect on the liquidity and future trading prices of our shares. See “Risk Factors” on page 10 .

 

 

Other Transactions

 

On December 16, 2015, we executed a Business Consulting Services Agreement with Falcon Capital LLC, in which we issued 108,992 shares of our Class A common stock as compensation for financial advisory and business consulting services, including, but not limited to international corporate advisory for European capital markets and strategy to be rendered for a period of twelve months after consummation of this offering.

Our Status as an Emerging Growth Company

 

We are an “emerging growth company,” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, or the JOBS Act. Certain specified reduced reporting and other regulatory requirements are available to public companies that are emerging growth companies. These provisions include:

	●	reduced disclosure about our executive compensation arrangements.

 

We have elected to take advantage of the exemption from the adoption of new or revised financial accounting standards until they would apply to private companies.

 

We will continue to be an emerging growth company until the earliest of:

 

	●	the last day of our fiscal year in which we have total annual gross revenues of $1,000,000,000 (as such amount is indexed for inflation every five years by the SEC to reflect the change in the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, setting the threshold to the nearest $1,000,000) or more;

We will continue to be deemed a smaller reporting company until our public float exceeds $75 million on the last day of our second fiscal quarter in our prior fiscal year.

RISK FACTORS

 

An investment in our Class A common stock involves a high degree of risk. You should consider carefully the following risks and other information included in this prospectus before you decide whether to buy our Class A common stock. The following risks may adversely affect our business, financial condition, and operating results. As a result, the trading price of our Class A common stock could decline and you could lose part or all of your investment.

 

Risks Related to Our Business, Operations and Financial Condition

 

We have incurred a loss for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and the year ended December 31, 2015 on a pro forma combined basis.

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2016 and the year ended December 31, 2015, on a pro forma basis and assuming the acquisitions of Mimio, the Boxlight Group, and Genesis were completed on January 1, 2015, we had a combined loss of $1,267,000 and $3,621,000, respectively. Although we believe that this loss is primarily the result of the significant reductions in global national, state and local educational budgets and purchases due to the world-wide economic recession, there can be no assurance that our losses will not continue in the future, even if expenditures for the products and solutions we sell and distribute increase.

 

Our pro forma results may not be indicative of our future performance or financial condition.

 

The unaudited pro forma combined financial information in this prospectus may not be indicative of what our operating results and financial condition would have been for the periods presented had the acquisitions of Genesis, the Boxlight Group or Mimio taken place on the dates indicated or of our future financial condition or operating results. In addition, the unaudited pro forma combined balance sheets included in this prospectus reflect preliminary estimates of the values of assets to be acquired and liabilities to be assumed, and those values could differ materially once we complete our final valuations of these assets and liabilities.

 

We may not be able to pay our short-term obligations when due.

 

We are obligated to make a $1,460,508 payment on or before December 15, 2016 under a six percent $3,960,508 restated note payable to Skyview Capital LLC, the former owner of Mimio under a membership interest purchase agreement dated as of May 28, 2015, as amended. The Skyview Note is secured by a lien and security interest on the assets and properties of our Mimio subsidiary and by the unconditional guaranty of Boxlight Parent, Mim Holdings, VC2 Partners LLC, and Vert Capital Corp. If we are unable to pay the balance of the Skyview Note on the December 15, 2016 maturity date, it could result in the foreclosure of the assets of our Mimio subsidiary, judgments against Boxlight Parent and the ultimate bankruptcy of our company which could cause investors in this offering to lose their entire investment.

 

Even if we are successful in obtaining sufficient proceeds from this offering to pay the $1,460,508 balance due on December 15, 2016 under the Skyview Note and to reduce by $1,500,000 a total of $4.75 million of outstanding accounts payable owed to EDI, such proceeds may not be sufficient to enable us to pay other debt obligations, including additional indebtedness and accounts payable owed to EDI and other vendors and service providers. Unless we are able to obtain sufficient debt or equity financing from this offering or from one or more lenders or other private sources, we could also default in the payment of the $2,000,000 EDI Note due in March 2019 and our other obligations owed to EDI and other vendors. There can be no assurance that we will be able to raise additional debt or equity financing in an amount sufficient to enable us to retire the Skyview Note and meet our other obligations. In the event that the Skyview Note is not paid in full on its December 15, 2016 final maturity date, Skyview or any other holder of the Skyview Note may bring suit against us and foreclose on all of the assets and business of our Mimio subsidiary. Such action would have a material adverse effect on our business and future prospects.

 

We have other substantial indebtedness and accounts payable.

 

As of September 30, 2016, our consolidated indebtedness and accounts payable over 90 days old (including the Skyview Note balance and obligations to EDI and other vendors) are approximately $7,193,000 . Even if we are successful in retiring the Skyview note and the $1,500,000 payments owed to EDI, our outstanding short-term obligations will still be approximately $4,286,000 . Accordingly, unless we are successful in selling all or a significant percentage of the 1,000,000 shares offered by the Company Prospectus, we will be required, following completion of this offering, to seek additional debt or equity financing. There can be no assurance that such financing will be available. Even if we are successful in obtaining additional debt or equity financing following completion of this offering, it is likely that the terms thereof will not be as attractive to us as the sale of the Class A common stock in this offering. To the extent that such financing is at purchase prices, conversion prices or exercise prices that are lower than the offering price of the shares offered hereby, the equity interests of all of the Boxlight Parent stockholders, including purchasers of shares in this offering, could be substantially diluted.

 

We may not be able to manage our acquisition strategy effectively.

 

Our growth strategy includes acquiring assets and technologies or companies that have services, products, technologies, industry specializations or geographic coverage that extend or complement our existing business. The process to undertake a potential acquisition is time-consuming and costly. We expect to expend significant resources to undertake business, financial and legal due diligence on potential acquisition targets, and there is no guarantee that we will complete any acquisition that we pursue.

 

The process of integrating any acquired business may create unforeseen operating difficulties and expenditures and is itself risky. The acquisitions to be completed upon consummation of this offering and any future acquisitions will be subject to a number of challenges, including:

 

	●	diversion of management time and resources as well as a shift of focus from operating the businesses to issues related to integration and administration, which could result in the potential disruption of our ongoing business;
	●	the need to integrate each company’s accounting, management, information, human resources and other administrative systems to permit effective management, and the lack of control if such integration is delayed or not implemented;
	●	the need to implement controls, procedures and policies appropriate for a larger public company at companies that prior to acquisition had lacked such controls, procedures and policies;
	●	difficulties in maintaining uniform standards, controls, procedures and policies;
	●	difficulties in managing operations in widely disparate time zones;
	●	potential unknown liabilities associated with acquired businesses, including liability for activities of the acquired company before the acquisition, including violations of laws, rules and regulations, commercial disputes, tax liabilities and other known and unknown liabilities;
	●	difficulty retaining key alliances on attractive terms with partners and suppliers;
	●	declining employee morale and retention issues resulting from changes in compensation, or changes in management, reporting relationships, future prospects or the direction or culture of the business;
	●	in the case of foreign acquisitions, the need to integrate operations across different cultures and languages and to address the particular economic, currency, political, and regulatory risks associated with specific countries; and
	●	in some cases, the need to transition operations, end-users, and customers onto our existing platforms.

 

 

Failure to manage expansion effectively may affect our success in executing our business plan and may adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operation. We may not realize the anticipated benefits of any or all of our acquisitions, or may not realize them in the time frame expected. Future acquisitions or mergers may require us to issue additional equity securities, spend our cash, or incur debt, and amortization expenses related to intangible assets or write-offs of goodwill, any of which could adversely affect our results of operations.

 

We generate a substantial majority of our revenue on a pro forma basis from the sale of our display products, and any significant reduction in sales of these products would materially harm our business.

 

For the year ended December 31, 2015, on a pro forma basis and assuming the acquisitions of Mimio, the Boxlight Group and Genesis were completed on January 1, 2015, we generated approximately 53% of our revenue from sales of our interactive display products, consisting of projectors, interactive projectors and interactive flat panels. A decrease in demand for our interactive displays would significantly reduce our revenue. If any of our competitors introduces attractive alternatives to our interactive displays, we could experience a significant decrease in sales as customers migrate to those alternative products.

 

Our business is subject to seasonal fluctuations, which may cause our operating results to fluctuate from quarter-to-quarter and adversely affect our working capital and liquidity throughout the year.

 

The revenues and operating results of the Boxlight Group, Mimio, and Genesis normally fluctuate as a result of seasonal variations in our business, driven largely by the purchasing cycles of the educational market. Traditionally, the bulk of expenditures by school districts occur in the second and third calendar quarters after receipt of budget allocations. We expect quarterly fluctuations in our revenues and operating results to continue. These fluctuations could result in volatility and adversely affect our cash flow. As our business grows, these seasonal fluctuations may become more pronounced. As a result, we believe that sequential quarterly comparisons of our financial results may not provide an accurate assessment of our financial position.

 

Our working capital requirements and cash flows are subject to fluctuation, which could have an adverse effect on our financial condition.

 

Our working capital requirements and cash flows have historically been, and are expected to continue to be, subject to quarterly and yearly fluctuations, depending on a number of factors. Factors which could result in cash flow fluctuations include:

 

	●	the level of sales and the related margins on those sales;
	●	the collection of receivables;
	●	the timing and size of purchases of inventory and related components; and
	●	the timing of payment on payables and accrued liabilities.

 

If we are unable to manage fluctuations in cash flow, our business, operating results and financial condition may be materially adversely affected. For example, if we are unable to effectively manage fluctuations in our cash flows, we may be unable to make required interest payments on our indebtedness.

 

We operate in a highly competitive industry.

 

We are engaged in the interactive education industry. The combined operation will face substantial competition from developers, manufacturers and distributors of interactive learning products and solutions, including interactive projectors, interactive whiteboards and micro-computer data logging products and any new product we may offer in the future. The industry is highly competitive and characterized by frequent product introductions and rapid technological advances that have substantially increased the capabilities and use of interactive projectors, interactive whiteboards, and micro-computer based logging technologies and combinations of them. We face increased competition from companies with strong positions in certain markets we serve, and in new markets and regions we may enter. These companies manufacture and/or distribute new, disruptive or substitute products that compete for the pool of available funds that previously could have been spent on interactive displays and associated products.

 

 

Many of these competitors have, and our potential competitors may have, significantly greater financial and other resources than we do and have spent, and may continue to spend, significant amounts of resources to try to enter or expand their presence in the market. In addition, low cost competitors have appeared in China and other countries. We may not be able to compete effectively against these current and future competitors. Increased competition or other competitive pressures have and may continue to result in price reductions, reduced margins or loss of market share, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

 

Some of the Boxlight Group’s customers are required to purchase equipment by soliciting proposals from a number of sources and, in some cases, are required to purchase from the lowest bidder. While we attempt to price our products competitively based upon the relative features they offer, our competitors’ prices and other factors, we are often not the lowest bidder and may lose sales to lower bidders.

 

Competitors may be able to respond to new or emerging technologies and changes in customer requirements more effectively and faster than we can or devote greater resources to the development, promotion and sale of products than we can. Current and potential competitors may establish cooperative relationships among themselves or with third parties, including through mergers or acquisitions, to increase the ability of their products to address the needs of customers. If these interactive display competitors or other substitute or alternative technology competitors acquire significantly increased market share, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

 

If we are unable to continually enhance our products and to develop, introduce and sell new technologies and products at competitive prices and in a timely manner, our business will be harmed.

 

The market for interactive learning and collaboration solutions is still emerging and evolving. It is characterized by rapid technological change and frequent new product introductions, many of which may compete with, be considered as alternatives to or replace our interactive displays. For example, we have recently observed significant sales of tablet computers by competitors to school districts in the U.S. whose technology budgets could otherwise have been used to purchase interactive displays. Accordingly, our future success will depend upon our ability to enhance our products and to develop, introduce and sell new technologies and products offering enhanced performance and functionality at competitive prices and in a timely manner.

 

The development of new technologies and products involves time, substantial costs and risks. Our ability to successfully develop new technologies will depend in large measure on our ability to maintain a technically skilled research and development staff and to adapt to technological changes and advances in the industry. The success of new product introductions depends on a number of factors, including timely and successful product development, market acceptance, the effective management of purchase commitments and inventory levels in line with anticipated product demand, the availability of components in appropriate quantities and costs to meet anticipated demand, the risk that new products may have quality or other defects and our ability to manage distribution and production issues related to new product introductions. If we are unsuccessful in selling the new products that we develop and introduce, or any future products that we may develop, we may carry obsolete inventory and have reduced available working capital for the development of other new technologies and products.

 

If we are unable, for any reason, to enhance, develop, introduce and sell new products in a timely manner, or at all, in response to changing market conditions or customer requirements or otherwise, our business will be harmed.

 

We may not be successful in our strategy to increase sales in the business and government market.

 

On a pro forma basis and assuming the acquisitions of Mimio, the Boxlight Group and Genesis were completed on January 1, 2015, the majority of our revenue has been derived from sales to the education market. Our business strategy contemplates expanding our sales in both the education market, as well as to the business and government training sectors. However, to date, there has not been widespread adoption of interactive displays and collaboration solutions in the business and government market, and these solutions may fail to achieve wide acceptance in this market. Successful expansion into the business and government markets will require us to augment and develop new distribution and reseller relationships, and we may not be successful in developing those relationships. In addition, widespread acceptance of our interactive solutions may not occur due to lack of familiarity with how our products work, the perception that our products are difficult to use and a lack of appreciation of the contribution they can make in the business and government markets. In addition, the Boxlight Group’s brand is less recognized in these markets as compared to the education market. A key part of our strategy to grow in the business and government market is to develop strategic alliances with companies in the unified communications and collaboration sector, and there can be no assurance that these alliances will help us to successfully grow our sales in this market.

 

 

Furthermore, our ability to successfully grow in the business and government market depends upon revenue and cash flows derived from sales to the education market. As the education market represents a significant portion of our revenue and cash flow (on a pro forma basis and assuming the acquisitions of the Boxlight Group and Genesis were completed on January 1, 2015) we utilize cash from sales in the education market for our operating expenses. If we cannot continue to augment and develop new distributor and reseller relationships, market our brand, develop strategic alliances and innovate new technologies, which results in decreased revenue from the education market, we may not be successful in our strategy to grow in the business and government market.

 

As a result of market saturation, our future sales of interactive displays in developed markets may slow or decrease.

 

Futuresource Consulting Ltd. estimates that, as of December 31, 2012, approximately 47% of classrooms in the U.S., 85% of classrooms in the U.K., and 53% of classrooms in Australia already had an interactive display. As a result of the high levels of penetration in developed markets, the education market for interactive displays in the U.S., U.K. and Australia may have reached saturation levels. Future sales growth in those markets and other developed markets with similar penetration levels may, as a result, be difficult to achieve, and (on a pro forma basis and assuming the acquisitions of the Boxlight Group and Genesis were completed on January 1, 2015), our sales of interactive displays may decline in those countries. If we are unable to replace the revenue and earnings we have (on a pro forma basis and assuming the acquisitions of Mimio, the Boxlight Group and Genesis were completed on January 1, 2015), historically derived from sales of interactive displays to the education market in these developed markets, whether through sales of additional products, sales in other underserved markets, such as Africa, Latin America and Asia, sales in the business and government market or otherwise, our business, financial condition and results of operations may be materially adversely affected.

 

We face significant challenges growing our sales in foreign markets.

 

For our products to gain broad acceptance in all markets, we may need to develop customized solutions specifically designed for each country in which we seek to grow our sales and to sell those solutions at prices that are competitive in that country. For example, while our hardware requires only minimal modification to be usable in other countries, our software and content require significant customization and modification to adapt to the needs of foreign customers. Specifically, our software will need to be adapted to work in a user-friendly way in several languages and alphabets, and content that fits the specific needs of foreign customers (such as, for example, classroom lessons adapted to specific foreign curricula) will need to be developed. If we are not able to develop, or choose not to support, customized products and solutions for use in a particular country, we may be unable to compete successfully in that country and our sales growth in that country will be adversely affected. We cannot assure you that we will be able to successfully develop or choose to support customized solutions for each foreign country in which we seek to grow our sales or that our solutions, if developed, will be competitive in the relevant country.

 

Growth in many foreign countries will require us to price our products competitively in those countries. In certain developing countries, we have been and may continue to be required to sell our products at prices significantly below those that we are currently charging in developed countries. Such pricing pressures could reduce our gross margins and adversely affect our revenue.

 

Our customers’ experience with our products will be directly affected by the availability and quality of our customers’ Internet access. We are unable to control broadband penetration rates, and, to the extent that broadband growth in emerging markets slows, our growth in international markets could be hindered.

 

In addition, we will face lengthy and unpredictable sales cycles in foreign markets, particularly in countries with centralized decision making. In these countries, particularly in connection with significant technology product purchases, Mimio, the Boxlight Group and Genesis have experienced recurrent requests for proposals, significant delays in the decision making process and, in some cases, indefinite deferrals of purchases or cancellations of requests for proposals. If we are unable to overcome these challenges, the growth of our sales in these markets would be adversely affected, and we may incur unrecovered marketing costs, impairing our profitability.

 

Our suppliers may not be able to always supply components or products to us on a timely basis and on favorable terms, and as a result, our dependency on third party suppliers has adversely affected our revenue (on a pro forma basis and assuming the acquisitions of Mimio, the Boxlight Group and Genesis were completed on January 1, 2015) and may continue to do so.

 

We do not manufacture any of the products we sell and distribute, and therefore rely on our suppliers for all products and components and depend on obtaining adequate supplies of quality components on a timely basis with favorable terms. Some of those components, as well as certain complete products that we sell are provided to us by only one supplier or contract manufacturer. We are subject to disruptions in our operations if our sole or limited supply contract manufacturers decrease or stop production of components and products, or if such suppliers and contract manufacturers do not produce components and products of sufficient quantity. Alternative sources for our components are not always available. Many of our products and components are manufactured overseas, so they have long lead times, and events such as local disruptions, natural disasters or political conflict may cause unexpected interruptions to the supply of our products or components. In addition, we do not have written supply agreements with our suppliers. Although we are endeavoring to enter into written agreements with certain of our suppliers, we cannot assure that our efforts will be successful.

 

In fiscal 2015, we purchased approximately 51% of our products and components from Everest Display, Inc. Although such supplier has indicated a willingness to provide us with a 10% price reduction on items we purchase from them in the future, there can be no assurance that such price reduction will, in fact, be implemented, or that such price reduction will materially improve our gross profit margin on such products and components that we sell. Even if such 10% price reduction is implemented, such supplier may elect to raise its prevailing unit prices on products we purchase which would have the effect of reducing or even eliminating the anticipated improvement in our gross profit margin.

 

 

We rely on highly skilled personnel, and, if we are unable to attract, retain or motivate qualified personnel, we may not be able to operate our business effectively.

 

Our success depends in large part on continued employment of senior management and key personnel who can effectively operate our business, as well as our ability to attract and retain skilled employees. Competition for highly skilled management, technical, research and development and other employees is intense in the high-technology industry and we may not be able to attract or retain highly qualified personnel in the future. In making employment decisions, particularly in the high-technology industry, job candidates often consider the value of the equity awards they would receive in connection with their employment. Our long-term incentive programs may not be attractive enough or perform sufficiently to attract or retain qualified personnel.

 

If any of our employees leaves us, and we fail to effectively manage a transition to new personnel, or if we fail to attract and retain qualified and experienced professionals on acceptable terms, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.

 

Our success also depends on our having highly trained financial, technical, recruiting, sales and marketing personnel. We will need to continue to hire additional personnel as our business grows. A shortage in the number of people with these skills or our failure to attract them to our company could impede our ability to increase revenues from our existing products and services, ensure full compliance with federal and state regulations, or launch new product offerings and would have an adverse effect on our business and financial results.

 

We may have difficulty in entering into and maintaining strategic alliances with third parties.

 

Mimio, the Boxlight Group and Genesis have entered into and we may continue to enter into strategic alliances with third parties to gain access to new and innovative technologies and markets. These parties are often large, established companies. Negotiating and performing under these arrangements involves significant time and expense, and we may not have sufficient resources to devote to our strategic alliances, particularly those with companies that have significantly greater financial and other resources than we do. The anticipated benefits of these arrangements may never materialize, and performing under these arrangements may adversely affect our results of operations.

 

We use resellers and distributors to promote and sell our products.

 

Substantially all our sales (on a pro forma basis and assuming the acquisitions of Mimio, the Boxlight Group and Genesis were completed on January 1, 2015) are made through resellers and distributors. Industry and economic conditions have the potential to weaken the financial position of our resellers and distributors. Such resellers and distributors may no longer sell our products, or may reduce efforts to sell our products, which could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. Furthermore, if our resellers’ and distributors’ abilities to repay their credit obligations were to deteriorate and result in the write-down or write-off of such receivables, it would negatively affect our operating results and, if significant, could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

In addition, our resellers and most of our distributors are not contractually required to sell our products exclusively and may offer competing interactive display products, and therefore we depend on our ability to establish and develop new relationships and to build on existing relationships with resellers and distributors. We cannot assure that our resellers and distributors will act in a manner that will promote the success of our products. Factors that are largely within the control of those resellers and distributors but are important to the success of our products include:

 

	●	the degree to which our resellers and distributors actively promote our products;
	●	the extent to which our resellers and distributors offer and promote competitive products; and
	●	the quality of installation, training and other support services offered by our resellers and distributors.

 

 

In addition, if some of our competitors offer their products to resellers and distributors on more favorable terms or have more products available to meet their needs, there may be pressure on us to reduce the price of our products, or those resellers and distributors may stop carrying our products or de-emphasize the sale of our products in favor of the products of these competitors. If we do not maintain and continue to build relationships with resellers and distributors our business will be harmed.

 

A former affiliate is in liquidation.

 

In April 2013, Vert Capital, acquired through LCC – Delaware, all of the outstanding shares of Logical Choice Technologies, Inc., a Georgia corporation (“LCT”). LCT is in liquidation, and all of its creditors may not be paid. Although LCT’s liabilities are solely its own, LCT creditors may claim that they are owed money by our Company. The aggregate obligations owed by LCT consist of approximately $4.0 million in accounts payable owed to certain former suppliers to LCT. Substantially all of these accounts payable were incurred by LCT prior to Vert’s acquisition of LCT in April 2013, and neither Vert Capital nor BOXL assumed or otherwise agreed to guarantee any of these accounts payable. However, creditors may nonetheless seek to collect from BOXL or its subsidiaries by alleging that we are successors in interest to LCT and therefore obligated for its debts. Although, we believe that any such claim, if made, would have no merit, or, at most, limited exposure to BOXL, defending such a claim would divert resources that otherwise would be used in our business.

 

If we are held liable for such amounts owed by LCC- Delaware, payment of such amounts would be made from working capital, which may have an adverse effect on our financial condition.

 

In addition, the inactive status of LCC-Delaware will not have any impact on the liquidation of LCT. However, if we were held liable for amounts owed by LCC- Delaware, payment of such amounts could have an adverse impact on our financial condition.

 

Risks Related to our Industry and Regulations

 

Decreases in, or stagnation of, spending or changes in the spending policies or budget priorities for government funding of schools, colleges, universities, other education providers or government agencies may have a material adverse effect on our revenue.

 

Our customers include primary and secondary schools, colleges, universities, other education providers. and, to a lesser extent, government agencies, each of which depends heavily on government funding. The effect of the worldwide recession of 2008 and subsequent sovereign debt and global financial crisis have resulted in substantial declines in the revenues and fiscal capacity of many national, federal, state, provincial and local governments. Many of those governments have reacted to the decreases in revenues and could continue to react to the decreases in revenue by cutting funding to educational institutions. If our products are not a high priority expenditure for such institutions, or if such institutions allocate expenditures to substitute or alternative technologies, we could lose revenue.

 

Any additional decrease in, stagnation of or adverse change in national, federal, state, provincial or local funding for primary and secondary schools, colleges, universities, or other education providers or for government agencies that use our products could cause our current and prospective customers to further reduce their purchases of our products, which could cause us to lose additional revenue. In addition, a specific reduction in governmental funding support for products such as ours could also cause us to lose revenue.

 

If our products fail to comply with consumer product or environmental laws, it could materially affect our financial performance.

 

Because we sell products used by children in classrooms and because our products are subject to environmental regulations in some jurisdictions in which we will do business, we will be required to comply with a variety of product safety, product testing and environmental regulations, including compliance with applicable laws and standards with respect to lead content and other child safety and environmental issues. If our products do not meet applicable safety or regulatory standards, we could experience lost sales, diverted resources and increased costs, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. Events that give rise to actual, potential or perceived product safety or environmental concerns could expose us to government enforcement action or private litigation and result in product recalls and other liabilities. In addition, negative consumer perceptions regarding the safety of our products could cause negative publicity and harm our reputation.

 

Risks Related to our Foreign Operations

 

We are subject to risks inherent in foreign operations.

 

Sales outside the United States represented approximately 15% of our combined revenues for the year ended December 31, 2015 (on a pro forma basis and assuming the acquisitions of Mimio, the Boxlight Group and Genesis were completed on January 1, 2015). We intend to selectively pursue international market growth opportunities, which could result in those international sales accounting for a more significant portion of our revenue. We have committed, and may continue to commit, significant resources to our international operations and sales and marketing activities. While we have experience conducting business outside of the United States, we may not be aware of all the factors that may affect our business in foreign jurisdictions.

 

We are subject to a number of risks associated with international business activities that may increase costs, lengthen sales cycles and require significant management attention. International operations carry certain risks and associated costs, such as the complexities and expense of administering a business abroad, complications in compliance with, and unexpected changes in regulatory requirements, foreign laws, international import and export legislation, trading and investment policies, exchange controls, tariffs and other trade barriers, difficulties in collecting accounts receivable, potential adverse tax consequences, uncertainties of laws, difficulties in protecting, maintaining or enforcing intellectual property rights, difficulty in managing a geographically dispersed workforce in compliance with diverse local laws and customs, and other factors, depending upon the country involved. Moreover, local laws and customs in many countries differ significantly and compliance with the laws of multiple jurisdictions can be complex, difficult and costly. We cannot assure that risks inherent in our foreign operations will not have a material adverse effect on our business.

 

 

We must comply with the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act.

 

We are required to comply with the United States Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, which prohibits U.S. companies from engaging in bribery of or other prohibited payments to foreign officials for the purpose of obtaining or retaining business and requires that we maintain adequate financial records and internal controls to prevent such prohibited payments. Foreign companies, including some of our competitors, are not subject to these prohibitions. Corruption, extortion, bribery, pay-offs, theft and other fraudulent practices may occur in countries where we do business. If our competitors engage in these practices, they may receive preferential treatment from personnel of some companies, giving our competitors an advantage in securing business or from government officials who might give them priority in obtaining new business, which would put us at a disadvantage. Although we inform our personnel that such practices are illegal, we cannot assure you that our employees or other agents will not engage in such conduct for which we might be held responsible. If our employees or other agents are found to have engaged in such practices, we could suffer severe penalties.

 

Our worldwide operations will subject us to income taxation in many jurisdictions, and we must exercise significant judgment to determine our worldwide financial provision for income taxes. That determination ultimately is an estimate, and, accordingly, we cannot assure that our historical income tax provisions and accruals will be adequate.

 

We are subject to income taxation in the United States and numerous other jurisdictions. Significant judgment is required in determining our worldwide provision for income taxes. In the ordinary course of our business, there are many transactions and calculations where the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. Although we believe our tax estimates are reasonable, we cannot assure that the final determination of any tax audits and litigation will not be materially different from that which is reflected in our historical income tax provisions and accruals. Should additional taxes be assessed against us as a result of an audit or litigation, there could be a material adverse effect on our current and future results and financial condition.

 

Certain of our subsidiaries provide products to, and may from time to time undertake certain significant transactions with, us and our other subsidiaries in different jurisdictions. In general, cross border transactions between related parties and, in particular, related party financing transactions, are subject to close review by tax authorities. Moreover, several jurisdictions in which we will operate have tax laws with detailed transfer pricing rules that require all transactions with nonresident related parties to be priced using arm’s-length pricing principles and require the existence of contemporaneous documentation to support such pricing. A tax authority in one or more jurisdictions could challenge the validity of our related party transfer pricing policies. Because such a challenge generally involves a complex area of taxation and because a significant degree of judgment by management is required to be exercised in setting related party transfer pricing policies, the resolution of such challenges often results in adjustments in favor of the taxing authority. If in the future any taxation authorities are successful in challenging our financing or transfer pricing policies, our income tax expense may be adversely affected and we could become subject to interest and penalty charges, which may harm our business, financial condition and operating results.

 

If we are unable to ship and transport components and final products efficiently and economically across long distances and borders our business would be harmed.

 

We transport significant volumes of components and finished products across long distances and international borders. Any increases in our transportation costs, as a result of increases in the price of oil or otherwise, would increase our costs and the final prices of our products to our customers. In addition, any increases in customs or tariffs, as a result of changes to existing trade agreements between countries or otherwise, could increase our costs or the final cost of our products to our customers or decrease our margins. Such increases could harm our competitive position and could have a material adverse effect on our business. The laws governing customs and tariffs in many countries are complex, subject to many interpretations and often include substantial penalties for non-compliance. Disputes may arise and could subject us to material liabilities and have a material adverse effect on our business.

 

If our procedures to ensure compliance with export control laws are ineffective, our business could be harmed.

 

Our extensive foreign operations and sales are subject to far reaching and complex export control laws and regulations in the United States and elsewhere. Violations of those laws and regulations could have material negative consequences for us including large fines, criminal sanctions, prohibitions on participating in certain transactions and government contracts, sanctions on other companies if they continue to do business with us and adverse publicity.

 

 

We will be exposed to fluctuations in foreign currencies that may materially adversely affect our results of operations.

 

Our reporting currency is the U.S. dollar. Boxlight Latin America uses the Peso as functional currencies to report revenue and expenses. We will be exposed to foreign exchange rate fluctuations when we translate the financial statements of the Boxlight Group into U.S. dollars in consolidation. If there is a change in foreign currency exchange rates, the translation of the Boxlight Group’s financial statements into U.S. dollars will lead to a translation gain or loss which is recorded as a component of other comprehensive income. In addition, we may have certain monetary assets and liabilities that are denominated in currencies other than the relevant entity’s functional currency. To the extent the U.S. dollar strengthens against the Pesos, the translation of foreign currency denominated transactions will result in reduced revenue, operating expenses and net income for our Mexican operations. Similarly, to the extent the U.S. dollar weakens against the Pesos, the translation of the foreign currency denominated transactions will result in increased revenue, operating expenses and net income for our Mexican operations. We have not entered into agreements or purchased instruments to hedge our exchange rate risks, although we may do so in the future. The availability and effectiveness of any hedging transaction may be limited, and we may not be able to successfully hedge our exchange rate risks.

 

We monitor our foreign exchange exposures, and these activities mitigate, but do not eliminate, our exposure to exchange rate fluctuations. As a result, exchange rate fluctuations may materially adversely affect our operating results in future periods.

 

 

Risks Related to Our Intellectual Property and Technology

 

Defects in our products can be difficult to detect before shipment. If defects occur, they could have a material adverse effect on our business.

 

Mimio products are highly complex and sophisticated and, from time to time, have contained and may continue to contain design defects or software “bugs” or failures that are difficult to detect and correct in advance of shipping.

 

The occurrence of errors and defects in our products could result in loss of, or delay in, market acceptance of our products, including harm to our brand, and correcting such errors and failures in our products could require significant expenditure of capital by us. In addition, we are rapidly developing and introducing new products, and new products may have higher rates of errors and defects than our established products. The Boxlight Group has historically provided product warranties for between one and five years, and the failure of our products to operate as described could give rise to warranty claims. The consequences of such errors, failures and other defects and claims could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and our reputation.

 

 

We may not be able to obtain patents or other intellectual property rights necessary to protect our proprietary technology and business.

 

Our commercial success depends to a significant degree upon our ability to develop new or improved technologies and products, and to obtain patents or other intellectual property rights or statutory protection for these technologies and products in the United States and other countries. We will seek to patent concepts, components, processes, designs and methods, and other inventions and technologies that we consider to have commercial value or that will likely give us a technological advantage. Mimio and the Boxlight Group own rights in patents and patent applications for technologies relating to interactive displays and other complementary products in the United States and other countries such as Germany, Mexico, Israel, Japan, Taiwan and China. Despite devoting resources to the research and development of proprietary technology, we may not be able to develop technology that is patentable or protectable. Patents may not be issued in connection with pending patent applications, and claims allowed may not be sufficient to allow them to use the inventions that they create exclusively. Furthermore, any patents issued could be challenged, re-examined, held invalid or unenforceable or circumvented and may not provide sufficient protection or a competitive advantage. In addition, despite efforts to protect and maintain patents, competitors and other third parties may be able to design around their patents or develop products similar to Mimio and Boxlight Group products that are not within the scope of their patents. Finally, patents provide certain statutory protection only for a limited period of time that varies depending on the jurisdiction and type of patent. The statutory protection term of certain of the Mimio and Boxlight Group’s material patents may expire soon and, thereafter, the underlying technology of such patents can be used by any third party including competitors.

 

Prosecution and protection of the rights sought in patent applications and patents can be costly and uncertain, often involve complex legal and factual issues and consume significant time and resources. In addition, the breadth of claims allowed in our patents, their enforceability and our ability to protect and maintain them cannot be predicted with any certainty. The laws of certain countries may not protect intellectual property rights to the same extent as the laws of the United States. Even if our patents are held to be valid and enforceable in a certain jurisdiction, any legal proceedings that we may initiate against third parties to enforce such patents will likely be expensive, take significant time and divert management’s attention from other business matters. We cannot assure that any of the issued patents or pending patent applications of Mimio and the Boxlight Group provide any protectable, maintainable or enforceable rights or competitive advantages to us.

 

In addition to patents, we will rely on a combination of copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets and other related laws and confidentiality procedures and contractual provisions to protect, maintain and enforce our proprietary technology and intellectual property rights in the United States, Mexico, Australia, Malaysia, Canada, Turkey and China. However, our ability to protect our brands by registering certain trademarks may be limited. In addition, while we will generally enter into confidentiality and nondisclosure agreements with our employees, consultants, contract manufacturers, distributors and resellers and with others to attempt to limit access to and distribution of our proprietary and confidential information, it is possible that:

 

	●	misappropriation of our proprietary and confidential information, including technology, will nevertheless occur;
	●	our confidentiality agreements will not be honored or may be rendered unenforceable;
	●	third parties will independently develop equivalent, superior or competitive technology or products;
	●	disputes will arise with our current or future strategic licensees, customers or others concerning the ownership, validity, enforceability, use, patentability or registrability of intellectual property; or
	●	unauthorized disclosure of our know-how, trade secrets or other proprietary or confidential information will occur.

 

We cannot assure that we will be successful in protecting, maintaining or enforcing our intellectual property rights. If we are unsuccessful in protecting, maintaining or enforcing our intellectual property rights, then our business, operating results and financial condition could be materially adversely affected, which could

 

	●	adversely affect our relationships with current or future distributors and resellers of our products;
	●	adversely affect our reputation with customers;
	●	be time-consuming and expensive to evaluate and defend;
	●	cause product shipment delays or stoppages;
	●	divert management’s attention and resources;
	●	subject us to significant liabilities and damages;
	●	require us to enter into royalty or licensing agreements; or
	●	require us to cease certain activities, including the sale of products.

 

If it is determined that we have infringed, violated or are infringing or violating a patent or other intellectual property right of any other person or if we are found liable in respect of any other related claim, then, in addition to being liable for potentially substantial damages, we may be prohibited from developing, using, distributing, selling or commercializing certain of our technologies and products unless we obtain a license from the holder of the patent or other intellectual property right. We cannot assure that we will be able to obtain any such license on a timely basis or on commercially favorable terms, or that any such licenses will be available, or that workarounds will be feasible and cost-efficient. If we do not obtain such a license or find a cost-efficient workaround, our business, operating results and financial condition could be materially adversely affected and we could be required to cease related business operations in some markets and restructure our business to focus on our continuing operations in other markets.

 

Our business may suffer if it is alleged or determined that our technology or another aspect of our business infringes the intellectual property of others.

 

The markets in which we will compete are characterized by the existence of a large number of patents and trade secrets and also by litigation based on allegations of infringement or other violations of intellectual property rights. Moreover, in recent years, individuals and groups have purchased patents and other intellectual property assets for the purpose of making claims of infringement to extract settlements from companies like ours. Also, third parties may make infringement claims against us that relate to technology developed and owned by one of our suppliers for which our suppliers may or may not indemnify us. Even if we are indemnified against such costs, the indemnifying party may be unable to uphold its contractual obligations, and determining the extent such of such obligations could require additional litigation. Claims of intellectual property infringement against us or our suppliers might require us to redesign our products, enter into costly settlements or license agreements, pay costly damage awards or face a temporary or permanent injunction prohibiting us from marketing or selling our products or services. If we cannot or do not license the infringed intellectual property on reasonable terms or at all, or substitute similar intellectual property from another source, our revenue and operating results could be adversely impacted. Additionally, our customers and distributors may not purchase our offerings if they are concerned that they may infringe third party intellectual property rights. Responding to such claims, regardless of their merit, can be time consuming, costly to defend in litigation, divert management’s attention and resources, damage our reputation and cause us to incur significant expenses. The occurrence of any of these events may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and operating results.

 

 

If we are unable to anticipate consumer preferences and successfully develop attractive products, we might not be able to maintain or increase our revenue or achieve profitability

 

Our success depends on our ability to identify and originate product trends as well as to anticipate and react to change demands and preferences of customers in a timely manner. If we are unable to introduce new products or technologies in a timely manner or our new products or technologies are not accepted by our customers, our competitors may introduce more attractive products which would adversely impact our competitive position. Failure to respond in a timely manner to changing consumer preferences could lead to, among other things, lower revenues and excess inventory positions of outdated products.

 

We may be unable to keep pace with changes in technology as our business and market strategy evolves.

 

We will need to respond to technological advances and emerging industry standards in a cost-effective and timely manner in order to remain competitive. The need to respond to technological changes may require us to make substantial, unanticipated expenditures. There can be no assurance that we will be able to respond successfully to technological change.

 

Risks Related to This Offering and Our Class A Common Stock

 

Investors cannot withdraw funds once invested and will not receive a refund.

 

Investors do not have the right to withdraw invested funds. All subscription payments from the sale of our Class A common stock offered under this prospectus will be paid to Boxlight Corporation and retained in our corporate bank account if the subscription agreements are in good order and the investor is accepted as an investor by the Company. Once payments are received and subscription agreements are approved, payments by investors may be used by us for the purposes set forth in this prospectus. Therefore, once an investment is made, investors will not have the use or right to return of such funds.

 

Our management and/or controlling stockholders do not have any prior experience conducting a best-effort offering nor any type of offering and as a result of this we may not be able to raise sufficient funds to continue operations successfully.

 

Our management and/or controlling shareholders do not have any experience conducting a best-effort offering nor any type of offering. Consequently, we may not be able to raise any funds successfully. If we are not able to raise sufficient funds, we may not be able to fund our operations as planned, and our business will suffer and your investment may be materially adversely affected. Our inability to successfully conduct a best-effort offering could be the basis of your losing your entire investment in us.

 

The offering price and other terms of this offering have been arbitrarily determined and may not be indicative of future market prices.

 

The offering price was not established in a competitive market, but was arbitrarily determined by us. The offering price bears no relationship to our assets, book value, historical results of operations or any other established criterion of value, and may not be indicative of the fair value of our Class A common stock. The trading price of the Class A common stock that will prevail in the market in the future may be higher or lower than the price per share the investors pay in the offering.

 

The public market may not agree with the determination of the offering price, in which case investors may not be able to sell their shares at or above the offering price, thereby resulting in losses on sale. The market price of the Class A common stock will fluctuate significantly in response to a variety of factors, some of which are beyond our control, such as changes in earnings estimates or recommendations by securities analysts, industry developments and general market conditions and other factors, including factors unrelated to our own operating performance or the condition or prospects of the industry in which we operate.

 

Further, the stock market in general, and securities of small-cap companies in particular, have experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations since 2008. Continued market fluctuations could result in volatility in the price of our Class A common stock and a decline in the value of our Class A common stock. Additionally, price volatility might be more severe if the trading volume of our Class A common stock is low.

 

There has been no public market for our Class A common stock, and an active market may not develop or be sustained, which could limit your ability to sell shares of our Class A common stock.

 

There currently is no public market for our Class A common stock, and our Class A common stock will not be traded in the open market prior to this offering. Although we intend to list the Class A common stock on a national securities exchange in connection with this offering, an adequate trading market for the Class A common stock may not develop or be sustained after this offering.

 

There can be no assurance that we will be able to list our Class A common stock on Nasdaq Capital Markets or other national securities exchange.

 

During or following completion of this offering we will seek to list our Class A common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Markets under the symbol “BOXL”. In order to list our Class A common stock we must meet the initial listing requirements under Nasdaq Rule 5505(a) and Rule 5505(b)(i). Among other requirements, we would need to have stockholders’ equity of at least $5,000,000, not less than 300 round lot holders of our Class A common stock and a minimum $15,000,000 in market value of our publicly traded shares (defined as shares held by all stockholders, other than our officers, directors and holders of 10% or more of our outstanding Class A common stock). There is no assurance that we will be able to meet such listing requirements or that our shares will trade on the Nasdaq Capital Market or any other national securities exchange.

 

If we do not list our Class A common stock on an acceptable national securities exchange our outstanding Series C Preferred Stock may not be converted into our Class A common stock.

 

Under our agreement with EDI, if our Class A common stock does not get listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market or other securities exchange acceptable to EDI, the 270,000 shares of Series B preferred stock issued to EDI and its subsidiary in connection with our July 18, 2016 acquisition of the Boxlight Group will not be automatically converted into Class A common stock. Such Series B preferred stock is valued at $5,400,000 and if not converted into our Class A common stock, will continue to have a $5,400,000 priority over holders of our Class A common stock in connection with any liquidation or sale of our Company.

 

Future sales of our Class A common stock could adversely affect our share price, and any additional capital raised by us through the sale of equity or convertible debt securities may dilute your ownership in us and may adversely affect the market price of our Class A common stock.

 

Assuming the sale of all 1,000,000 shares of Class A common stock offered hereby, we believe that our existing working capital, expected cash flow from operations and other available cash resources will enable us to meet our working capital requirements for at least the next 12 months. However, the development and marketing of new products and the expansion of distribution channels require a significant commitment of resources. From time to time, we may seek additional equity or debt financing to finance working capital requirements, continue our expansion, develop new products or make acquisitions or other investments. In addition, if our business plans change, general economic, financial or political conditions in our industry change, or other circumstances arise that have a material effect on our cash flow, the anticipated cash needs of our business, as well as our conclusions as to the adequacy of our available sources of capital, could change significantly. Any of these events or circumstances could result in significant additional funding needs, requiring us to raise additional capital. If additional funds are raised through the issuance of equity shares, preferred shares or debt securities, the terms of such securities could impose restrictions on our operations and would reduce the percentage ownership of our existing stockholders. If financing is not available on satisfactory terms, or at all, we may be unable to expand our business or to develop new business at the rate desired and our results of operations may suffer.

 

The market price of our Class A common stock may be volatile, which could cause the value of your investment to fluctuate and possibly decline significantly.

 

The market price of our Class A common stock may be highly volatile and subject to wide fluctuations. Our financial performance, government regulatory action, tax laws and market conditions in general could have a significant impact on the future market price of our Class A common stock. You may not be able to resell your shares at or above the current price due to a number of factors such as those listed under “Risk Factors”. Some of the factors that could negatively affect our share price or result in fluctuations in the price of our stock include:

 

	●	our operating and financial performance and prospects;
	●	our quarterly or annual earnings or those of other companies in our industry;

 

 

	●	the public’s reaction to our press releases, our other public announcements and our filings with the SEC;
	●	changes in, or failure to meet, earnings estimates or recommendations by research analysts who track our Class A common stock or the stock of other companies in our industry;
	●	the failure of analysts to cover our Class A common stock;
	●	strategic actions by us or our competitors, such as acquisitions or restructurings;
	●	announcements by us, our competitors or our vendors of significant contracts, acquisitions, joint marketing relationships, joint ventures or capital commitments;
	●	new laws or regulations or new interpretations of existing laws or regulations applicable to our business;
	●	changes in accounting standards, policies, guidance, interpretations or principles;
	●	announcements by third parties or governmental entities of significant claims or proceedings against us;
	●	new laws and governmental regulations, or other regulatory developments, applicable to our industry;
	●	changes in general conditions in the United States and global economies or financial markets, including those resulting from war, incidents of terrorism or responses to such events;
	●	changes in government spending levels on education;
	●	changes in key personnel;
	●	sales of common stock by us, members of our management team or our stockholders;
	●	the granting or exercise of employee stock options or other equity awards;
	●	the volume of trading in our Class A common stock; and
	●	the realization of any risks described in this section under the caption “Risk Factors.”

 

Furthermore, the stock market has recently experienced volatility that, in some cases, has been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of particular companies. These broad market and industry fluctuations may adversely affect the market price of our Class A common stock, regardless of our actual operating performance.

 

In the past, following periods of market volatility, stockholders have instituted securities class action litigation. If we were involved in securities litigation, it could have a substantial cost and divert resources and the attention of executive management from our business regardless of the outcome of such litigation.

 

Purchasers in this offering will experience immediate and substantial dilution in net tangible book value.

 

The initial public offering price per share is expected to be substantially higher than the net tangible book value per share of our outstanding common stock. Purchasers in this offering will experience immediate dilution in the net tangible book value of their shares. Based on an assumed initial public offering price of $7.00 per share, the mid-point of the range set forth on the cover of this prospectus, dilution per share in this offering will be $_____ per share. See “Dilution.”

 

Our Articles of Incorporation, Bylaws and Nevada law may have anti-takeover effects.

 

Our Articles of Incorporation authorizes the issuance of common stock and preferred stock. Each share of Class A common stock entitles the holder to one vote on all matters to be voted upon by stockholders, and the Class B common stock has no vote, except as required by law. In addition, our board of directors (“Board”) has the authority to issue additional shares of preferred stock and to determine the price, rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions of those shares without any further vote or action by the stockholders. The rights of the holders of common stock will be subject to, and may be adversely affected by, the rights of the holders of any preferred stock that may be issued in the future. The ability of our Board to issue additional shares of preferred stock could make it more difficult for a third party to acquire a majority of our voting stock. Other provisions of our Bylaws also may have the effect of discouraging, delaying or preventing a merger, tender offer or proxy contest, which could have an adverse effect on the market price of our Class A common stock.

 

In addition, certain provisions of Nevada law applicable to our company could also delay or make more difficult a merger, tender offer or proxy contest involving our company, including Sections 78.411 through 78.444 of the Nevada Revised Statutes, which prohibit a Nevada corporation from engaging in any business combination with any “interested stockholder” (as defined in the statute) for a period of two years unless certain conditions are met. In addition, our senior management is entitled to certain payments upon a change in control and certain of the stock options and restricted shares we have granted provide for the acceleration of vesting in the event of a change in control of our company. 

 

 

Two trusts hold a significant percentage of our Class A common stock, and their interests may not align with the interests of our other stockholders.

 

The trustees of two family trusts have dispositive and voting power over the Class A common stock totaling approximately 25.8% of our issued and outstanding common stock on a fully diluted basis after giving effect to this offering. In addition, upon conversion of our Series B preferred stock, stockholders of EDI and other EDI affiliates, including K Laser will own approximately 21% of our issued and outstanding common stock on a fully diluted basis after giving effect to this offering. This significant concentration of share ownership may adversely affect the trading price of our Class A common stock because investors often perceive a disadvantage in owning shares in a company with one or several controlling stockholders. This concentration of ownership may have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control of our company which could deprive our stockholders of an opportunity to receive a premium for their shares as part of a sale of our company and might reduce the price of our Class A common stock. Furthermore, our directors and officers, as a group, have the ability to significantly influence or control the outcome of all matters requiring stockholder approval, including the election of directors and approval of significant corporate transactions, such as mergers, consolidations or the sale of substantially all of our assets. Although our directors owe fiduciary duties to us and our shareholders, including the duties of loyalty, our directors that serve as directors, officers, partners or employees of companies that we do business with also owe fiduciary duties or other obligations to such other companies or to the investors in their funds. The duties owed to us could conflict with the duties such directors owe to these other companies or investors.

 

The conversion provisions and other terms of a $2,000,000 convertible note to an affiliated entity is dilutive to purchasers in this offering may adversely affect the market price of our Class A common stock .

 

In connection with the acquisition of Mimio by Boxlight Parent, we issued a $2,000,000 note payable to Mim Holdings, Inc., the former stockholder of Mimio. The note is convertible by the holder into shares of Class A common stock of Boxlight Parent at a per share conversion price equal to 55% of the initial offering price per share of BOXL common stock offered to the public under the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part. Accordingly, and assuming a $7.00 per share initial offering price of the shares offered hereby, the $2,000,000 Mim Holdings note would be convertible into an aggregate of 519,481 shares of our Class A common stock, based on a $3.85 per share conversion price. The note also contains a number of penalty provisions in the event we are late in delivering shares upon conversion of the note. Such penalty provisions provide that if we do not deliver conversion shares via DWAC or a certificate or certificates within three trading days of a conversion notice, we would be obligated to pay the holder of the note in cash, an amount per trading day for each trading day until such shares are delivered, together with interest on such amount at a rate of 10% per annum, accruing until such amount and any accrued interest thereon is paid in full, equal to (i) 1% of the aggregate principal amount of the note requested to be converted for the first 5 trading days after the Delivery Date and (ii) 2% of the aggregate principal amount of the Note requested to be converted for each Trading Day thereafter. In addition, the holder of the note would retain the right to pursue actual damages for our failure to deliver certificates representing shares of Common Stock upon conversion within the specified period. Mim Holdings is owned by the Marlborough Brothers Family Trust, a trust established for the benefit of members of the families of Adam Levin and Michael Pope. Mr. Pope is the President and a member of our board of directors.

 

If fully converted into our Class A common stock, the holder would own approximately 5.7% of our outstanding shares of Class A common stock calculated based on 8,630,862 shares outstanding after this offering. In addition, the conversion and other terms of the $2,000,000 note will dilute the interests of purchasers of our Class A common stock in this offering and may ultimately depress the future market price of our Class A common stock.

 

The market for shares traded in the over-the-counter market has experienced numerous frauds and abuses which could adversely impact investors in our stock.

 

Unless we are able to list our shares of Class A common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market, the NYSE: Nynex Exchange or on the QTCQB or OTCQX exchanges of the OTC Markets Group, our Class A common stock would trade on the OTC pink sheets. Securities that trade on such exchange are frequent targets of fraud or market manipulation, both because of their generally low prices and because reporting requirements are less stringent than those of Nasdaq or other national stock exchanges.

 

Patterns of fraud and abuse include:

 

	·	Control of the market for the security by one or a few broker-dealers that are often related to the promoter or issuer;
	·	Manipulation of prices through prearranged matching of purchases and sales and false and misleading press releases;
	·	“Boiler room” practices involving high pressure sales tactics and unrealistic price projections by inexperienced sales persons;
	·	Excessive and undisclosed bid-ask differentials and markups by selling broker-dealers; and
	·	Wholesale dumping of the same securities by promoters and broker-dealers after prices have been manipulated to a desired level, along with the inevitable collapse of those prices with consequent investor losses.

 

Our management is aware of the abuses that have occurred historically in the penny stock market.

 

We are selling this offering without an underwriter and may be unable to sell any shares.

 

This offering is self-underwritten, that is, we are not going to engage the services of an underwriter to sell the shares; we intend to sell our shares through our management and/or controlling stockholders, who will receive no commissions. There is no guarantee that they will be able to sell any of the shares of Class A common stock.

 

We will have broad discretion in applying a portion of the net proceeds of this offering and may not use these proceeds in ways that will enhance the market value of our Class A common stock.

 

Subject to our obligation to pay approximately $3,000,000 to retire the Skyview Note and reduce our obligations to EDI, our management will have considerable discretion in the application of the proceeds received by us from this offering. You will not have the opportunity, as part of your investment decision, to assess whether the proceeds are being used appropriately. You must rely on the judgment of our management regarding the application of the net proceeds of this offering. We may use the net proceeds for corporate purposes that do not improve our profitability or increase our Class A common stock price.

 

We have no intention of declaring dividends in the foreseeable future.

 

The decision to pay cash dividends on our Class A common stock rests with our board of directors and will depend on our earnings, unencumbered cash, capital requirements and financial condition. We do not anticipate declaring any dividends in the foreseeable future, as we intend to use any excess cash to fund our operations. Investors in our Class A common stock should not expect to receive dividend income on their investment, and investors will be dependent on the appreciation of our Class A common stock to earn a return on their investment.

 

If securities or industry analysts do not publish research or reports about us, or if they adversely change their recommendations regarding our Class A common stock, then our stock price and trading volume could decline.

 

The trading market for our Class A common stock will be influenced by the research and reports that industry or securities analysts publish about us, our industry and our market. If no analyst elects to cover us and publish research or reports about us, the market for our Class A common stock could be severely limited and our stock price could be adversely affected. In addition, if one or more analysts ceases coverage of us or fails to regularly publish reports on us, we could lose visibility in the financial markets, which in turn could cause our stock price or trading volume to decline. If one or more analysts who elect to cover us adversely change their recommendations regarding our Class A common stock, our stock price could decline.

 

We will incur increased costs as a result of being a publicly-traded company.

 

As a company with publicly-traded securities, we will incur additional legal, accounting and other expenses. For example, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (or SOX), the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010, as well as rules promulgated by the SEC and the national securities exchange on which our Class A Common Stock will be listed require us to adopt corporate governance practices applicable to U.S. public companies. These rules and regulations will increase our legal and financial compliance costs.

 

 

We may be exposed to risks relating to evaluations of controls required by Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.

 

Pursuant to Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, our management will be required to report on, and our independent registered public accounting firm may in the future be required to attest to, the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. Although we prepare our financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, our internal accounting controls may not meet all standards applicable to companies with publicly traded securities. If we fail to implement any required improvements to our disclosure controls and procedures, we may be obligated to report control deficiencies and our independent registered public accounting firm may not be able to certify the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting. In either case, we could become subject to regulatory sanction or investigation. Further, these outcomes could damage investor confidence in the accuracy and reliability of our financial statements.

 

If our internal controls and accounting processes are insufficient, we may not detect in a timely manner misstatements that could occur in our financial statements in amounts that could be material.

 

As a public company, we will have to devote substantial efforts to the reporting obligations and internal controls required of a public company, which will result in substantial costs. A failure to properly meet these obligations could cause investors to lose confidence in us and have a negative impact on the market price of our shares. We expect to devote significant resources to the documentation, testing and continued improvement of our operational and financial systems for the foreseeable future. These improvements and efforts with respect to our accounting processes that we will need to continue to make may not be sufficient to ensure that we maintain adequate controls over our financial processes and reporting in the future. Any failure to implement required, new or improved controls, or difficulties encountered in their implementation, could cause us to fail to meet our reporting obligations in the United States or result in misstatements in our financial statements in amounts that could be material. Insufficient internal controls could also cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information, which could have a negative effect on the trading price of our shares and may expose us to litigation risk.

 

As a public company, we will be required to document and test our internal control procedures to satisfy the requirements of Section 404 of Sarbanes-Oxley, which requires annual management assessments of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. During the course of our testing, we may identify deficiencies which we may not be able to remediate in time to meet our deadline for compliance with Section 404. We may not be able to conclude on an ongoing basis that we have effective internal control over financial reporting in accordance with Section 404. If we are unable to conclude that we have effective internal control over financial reporting, then investors could lose confidence in our reported financial information, which could have a negative effect on the trading price of our shares.

 

For as long as we are an “emerging growth company,” we will not be required to comply with certain reporting requirements, including those relating to accounting standards and disclosure about our executive compensation, that apply to some other public companies. 

 

As an “emerging growth company” under the JOBS Act, we are permitted to, and intend to, rely on exemptions from certain disclosure requirements. We are an emerging growth company until the earliest of:

 

	●	the last day of the fiscal year during which we have total annual gross revenues of $1 billion or more;
	●	the last day of the fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of this offering;
	●	the date on which we have, during the previous 3-year period, issued more than $1 billion in non-convertible debt; or
	●	the date on which we are deemed a “large accelerated filer” as defined under the federal securities laws.

 

For so long as we remain an “emerging growth company”, we will not be required to:

 

	●	have an auditor report on our internal control over financial reporting pursuant to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002;
	●	comply with any requirement that may be adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the auditor’s report providing additional information about the audit and the financial statements (auditor discussion and analysis);
	●	submit certain executive compensation matters to shareholders advisory votes pursuant to the “say on frequency” and “say on pay” provisions (requiring a non-binding shareholder vote to approve compensation of certain executive officers) and the “say on golden parachute” provisions (requiring a non-binding shareholder vote to approve golden parachute arrangements for certain executive officers in connection with mergers and certain other business combinations) of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010; and
	●	include detailed compensation discussion and analysis in our filings under the Exchange Act and instead may provide a reduced level of disclosure concerning executive compensation.

 

In addition, the JOBS Act provides that an “emerging growth company” can take advantage of the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards. We have elected to take advantage of the extended transition period, which allows us to delay the adoption of new or revised accounting standards until those standards apply to private companies. As a result of this election, our financial statements may not be comparable to public companies that comply with new or revised accounting standards.

 

Because of these exemptions, some investors may find our Class A common stock less attractive, which may result in a less active trading market for our Class A common stock, and our stock price may be more volatile.

 

 

USE OF PROCEEDS

 

We estimate that the net proceeds from this offering, after deducting estimated offering expenses payable by us, will be approximately $6,700,000 if we are able to sell all 1,000,000 shares of Class A common stock at an average price of $7.00 per share within 120 days following the date of this prospectus. Alternatively, if we use the services of registered broker/dealers and pay a 7% commission on sales of all 1,000,000 shares, the net proceeds from such sales will be only $6,210,000. There is no minimum number of shares that we must sell within such period and all proceeds from such sales will be retained by us.

 

We intend to apply the net proceeds of this offering in the following order of priority:

 

	●	First, to pay all or part of the $1,460,508 remaining balance due under the Skyview Note;
	●	Second, and subject to payment of the balance of the Skyview Note, to reduce our account payable owed to EDI by up to $1,500,000;
	●	to the extent available, to reduce other indebtedness and accounts payable, including approximately $900,000 owed to Vert Capital; and;   the balance, if any, for working capital.

 

DIVIDEND POLICY

 

We have never declared or paid any cash dividends on our Class A common stock, and we currently do not anticipate paying any cash dividends for the foreseeable future. Instead, we anticipate using all of our earnings, if any, for working capital, to support our operations, and to finance the growth and development of our business, including potentially the acquisition of, or investment in, businesses, technologies or products that complement our existing business. Any future determination relating to dividend policy will be made at the discretion of our Board and will depend on a number of factors, including, but not limited to, our future earnings, capital requirements, financial condition, future prospects, applicable Nevada law, which provides that dividends are only payable out of surplus or current net profits, and other factors our Board might deem relevant.

DILUTION

 

Purchasers of our Class A common stock in this offering will experience an immediate dilution to the extent of the difference between the initial public offering price and the pro forma, as adjusted, net tangible book value per share immediately after this offering.

 

Assuming the sale of all 1,000,000 shares of Class A common stock offered hereby at an assumed initial public offering price of $7.00 per share and after deducting maximum commissions to registered broker/dealers of $490,000 an other estimated offering expenses payable by us, our pro forma, as adjusted, net tangible book value at June 30, 2016 would have been $___ million or $___ per share. This represents an immediate increase in pro forma, as adjusted, net tangible book value per share of $___ to the existing stockholders (including the Boxlight Group and Mimio stockholders) and dilution in pro forma, as adjusted, net tangible book value per share of $___to new investors who purchase shares in the offering. The following table illustrates this per share dilution to new investors:

 

Assumed initial public offering price per share		$	7.00
Net tangible book value per share before  the offering, at June 30 , 2016		$
Increase in net tangible book value  per share attributable to the offering
Pro forma, as adjusted, net tangible book  value per share, giving effective to the offering		$
Dilution per share to new investors		$

  

A $1.00 increase (decrease) in the assumed initial public offering price of $___ per share of our Class A common stock, the mid-point of the price range set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, would increase our pro forma as adjusted, net tangible book value after this offering by $___ million and dilution per share to new investors in this offering by $___ per share, assuming the number of shares of Class A common stock offered by us, as set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, remains the same. The information discussed above is illustrative only and may change based on the actual initial public offering price and other terms of the offering determined at pricing.

  

 

unaudited PRO FORMA COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

 

The following unaudited pro forma combined financial statements were prepared by applying certain pro forma adjustments to the historical financial statements of Boxlight Corporation (“BOXL”). The pro forma adjustments give effect to the following transactions (the “Transactions”):

 

	●	Our acquisition of Mimio LLC;
	●	Our acquisition of the shares of Boxlight, Inc. and the other members of the Boxlight Group; and
	●	The payment of $162,500 and issuance of 243,778 Class A common shares to our legal counsel.

 

The unaudited pro forma combined statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2015 and for the six months ended June 30, 2016 give effect to the Transactions as if each of them had occurred on January 1, of each period .

 

These pro forma combined financial statements include adjustments for our acquisitions closed prior to this offering, assuming our initial public offering price is $7.00 per share.

 

We determined that each acquisition shown involved the acquisition of a business, considering the guidance in Rule 11-01 (d) of Regulation S-X, and individually, as well as in aggregate, met the significance test of Rule 3-05 of Regulation S-X.

 

The historical financial statements of Mimio and the Boxlight Group appear elsewhere in this prospectus.

 

We have based the pro forma adjustments upon available information and certain assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. We describe in greater detail the assumptions underlying the pro forma combined financial statements in the notes to the unaudited pro forma combined financial statements. In many cases, we based these assumptions on preliminary information and estimates. The actual adjustments to our pro forma combined financial statements will depend upon a number of factors and additional information that will be available on or after the closing date of this offering. Accordingly, the actual adjustments that will appear in our financial statements will differ from these pro forma adjustments, and those differences may be material.

 

On May 8, 2016 and April 1, 2016, Boxlight Parent acquired Genesis Collaboration LLC (“Genesis”) and Mimio, respectively. The acquisitions of Mimio and Genesis were considered transfers of businesses between entities under common control, and therefore the assets acquired and liabilities assumed were transferred at historical cost of the ultimate parent, Vert Capital Corp. (“Vert Capital”). Because the acquisitions were common control transactions in which Boxlight Parent acquired businesses, the historical financial statements of Boxlight Parent have been retrospectively adjusted to reflect the results of operations, financial position, and cash flows of Mimio and Genesis as if Boxlight Parent owned Mimio and Genesis for all periods presented from the date Mimio, Genesis and Boxlight Parent were under common control. Mimio and Genesis were acquired by Vert Capital on November 4, 2015 and October 31, 2013, respectively. As a result, the operating results of Mimio for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and the period from November 4 , 2015 to December 31, 2015 and the operating results of Genesis for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and the year ended December 31, 2015 were added to the retroactively adjusted operating results of Boxlight Parent.

 

We accounted for the acquisition of the Boxlight Group using the acquisition method of accounting for business combinations under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, with BOXL being considered the acquiring entity. Under the acquisition method of accounting, the total consideration paid is allocated to an acquired company’s tangible and intangible assets, net of liabilities, based on their estimated fair values as of the acquisition date. We completed the acquisition of Boxlight Group on July 18, 2016 and we are working on finalizing valuation of Boxlight Group. The estimated purchase price and fair value of those assets to be acquired and liabilities assumed is preliminary. Once we complete our final valuation process for our acquisitions, we may report changes to the value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, as well as the amount of goodwill, and those changes could differ materially from what we present here.

 

These unaudited pro forma combined financial statements do not purport to represent what our results of operations or financial condition would have been had the Transactions actually occurred on the assumed dates, nor do they purport to project our results of operations or financial condition for any future period or future date. You should read these unaudited pro forma combined financial statements in conjunction with “Capitalization,” “Selected Historical Consolidated Financial Information,” “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” and the historical financial statements, including the related notes thereto, appearing elsewhere in this prospectus.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

(1) Basis of Presentation – The pro forma eliminates transactions and balances among the Boxlight Group, Mimio (for the period before Vert Capital’s acquisition of Mimio) and Boxlight Parent.

 

(2) Stock Option Expense – We account for stock-based compensation using the fair value method, which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all share-based payment awards based on their estimated fair values. This method requires companies to estimate the fair value of stock-based compensation on the date of grant using an option pricing model. We use the Black-Scholes option pricing model to measure stock-based compensation. The Black-Scholes model determines the fair value of share-based payment awards based on the fair value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant and is affected by assumptions regarding a number of highly complex and subjective variables. These variables include, but are not limited to, the fair value of the underlying common stock, expected volatility over the term of the awards and actual and projected employee stock option exercise behaviors. The assumptions used in calculating the fair value of the stock-based awards represent management judgment. As a result, if factors change and different assumptions are used, the stock-based compensation expense could be materially different in the future. Compensation expense relating to employee stock awards is recorded on a straight-line basis.

 

Determining the fair value of stock-based awards on the grant date requires the use of estimates and assumptions, including the fair value of our Class A common stock, exercise price of the stock option, expected volatility, expected life, risk-free interest rate and dividend rate. We estimate the expected volatility of our stock options by taking the average historical volatility of a group of comparable publicly traded companies over a period equal to the expected life of the options. As a result, we used the simplified method, as provided under SAB Topic 14.D, “Share-Based Payment,” to calculate the expected term estimate based on the options’ vesting terms and contractual terms. The risk-free interest rate is the estimated average interest rate based on U.S. Treasury zero-coupon notes with terms consistent with the expected life of the awards. The expected dividend yield is zero as we do not anticipate paying any recurring cash dividends in the foreseeable future.

 

According to our share purchase agreement with the Boxlight Group, dated May 12, 2016, we may grant the employees of the Boxlight Group 10-year options to purchase 195,126 share of our Class B common shares, which represent on an aggregate basis 2% of the fully-diluted common stock as defined by the agreement with Boxlight. The full terms of the stock option have not been determined. As a result, we did not provide an estimate of the stock-based compensation related to these options. These options vest annually in equal installments over a 4-year period commencing one year after the closing date of our acquisition of Boxlight Group.

 

(3) Amortization of Intangible Assets – We amortize intangible assets over their estimated useful lives. We based the estimated useful lives of acquired intangible assets on the amount and timing in which we expect to receive an economic benefit. We assigned these intangible assets a useful life of 10 years based upon a number of factors, including contractual agreements, consumer awareness and economic factors (including known technological advances, effects of obsolescence, demand, competition, and the period of expected future cash flow that would be associated with the intangibles) pertaining to the combined companies. We believe the level of consumer awareness of our products will contribute to the continuation of purchases stemming from the customer relationships we will obtain in these acquisitions.

 

The estimates of fair value and weighted-average useful lives could be impacted by a variety of factors including legal, regulatory, contractual, competitive, economic or other factors. Increased knowledge about these factors could result in a change to the estimated fair value of these intangible assets and/or the weighted-average useful lives from what we have assumed in these unaudited pro forma combined financial statements. In addition, the combined effect of any such changes could result in a significant increase or decrease to the related amortization expense estimates.

 

The amortization of intangible assets of our acquisitions assumes that the assets were acquired on January 1, 2015 and amortized over the period associated with the statements of operations. For the six months ended June 30, 2016 and the year ended December 31, 2015, the pro forma adjustments for the amortization expenses related to intangibles acquired was $290,000 and $581,000, respectively.

 

(4) Intangible Assets – We based our preliminary estimates of each intangible asset type/category that we expect to recognize as part of the acquisitions on the nature of the businesses and the contracts that we have entered into with the Boxlight Group. We also based our estimate of Boxlight Group’s intangible assets on the preliminary work prepared by a third party valuation specialist. However, all of these estimates are preliminary, as we are still gathering all the facts surrounding the businesses acquired and therefore have not been able to finalize the accounting for these transactions.

 

The figures set forth below reflect the preliminary fair value of intangible assets of the businesses we acquired and their estimated useful lives. All preliminary estimates for the fair value of intangibles will be refined once we obtain all the information but not to exceed one year from the acquisition date.

 

 

Fair Value Adjustment to Intangible Assets from the Acquisition of Boxlight Group

 

						Estimated
(in thousands)		Boxlight				Useful Life
Trademarks		$	5,474			Indefinite
Customer related			5,808			10 years
Total intangible assets		$	11,282

 

(5) Purchase Price Allocation – We recognized the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their fair value on the acquisition date, and if there was any excess in purchase price over these values it was allocated to goodwill. Stock offering price is assumed to be $7.00 per share. We assumed our stock offering price to be $7.00 per share based on a $62.2 million valuation of the Company determined by our management and our total shares outstanding in the amount of 9,757,273 on a pro forma and fully diluted basis as defined by the acquisition agreements. If the actual valuation differs from the $62.2 million valuation provided by our management, the difference could materially impact our pro forma presentation. We are using the $62.2 million valuation as our best estimate of calculating the purchase price for the acquisitions. A difference in our valuation would change the amount of goodwill created under the transactions. If the valuation goes up goodwill will increase and if the valuation goes down goodwill will decrease. There are no other impacts to the pro forma financial statements.

 

We engaged a third-party valuation specialist to assist us in valuing the assets acquired and liabilities assumed for the Boxlight Group acquisitions. The preliminary study is complete, and the assumptions will be updated on the consummation of the initial public offering.

 

The following table shows the preliminary purchase prices, estimated acquisition-date fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed and calculation of goodwill for Boxlight Group utilizing the information at June 30, 2016, the most recent balance sheet available to us. We acquired Boxlight Group on July 18, 2016, as such, the final acquisition date fair value of the assets and liabilities will be adjusted for the transactions during the 18 days in July 2016 once the information becomes available.

The preliminary estimate of equity consideration to be transferred is based on an aggregate value of equity, as stated in the share purchase agreement, at the price of our Class A common stock to be sold in this offering (currently assumed to be $7.00 per share). The number of shares that will be issued in connection with the acquisitions will be fixed shortly before closing of this offering. The total equity value for the acquisition will be determined at the time of closing, based on the fixed number of shares and the actual offering price. The amount of goodwill, if any, on the date of the acquisition will vary based on the actual price of the offering.

 

 

Our stock offering price is determined based on the valuation of the Company. The following table shows the impact to the purchase price allocation based on a range of the Company’s valuations.

(6) Issuance of our Common Shares in Exchange for Shares of Companies Acquired – Adjustment reflects the elimination of equity accounts of Boxlight Group and the issuance of 2,558,420 shares at the price of our Class A common stock to be sold in this offering (currently assumed at $7 per share). We are issuing an aggregate of 2,558,420 shares in connection with the Transaction based upon a $62.2 million valuation of the Company and the percentage of the total Company ownership to be issued pursuant to the agreements in each acquisition. Details of shares to be issued are as follows:

 

Shares to be issued to		Shares
Boxlight Group			2,168,168
Genesis			390,252
Total shares			2,558,420

 

Shares to be issued to Boxlight Group include 2,007,563 shares to Boxlight’s shareholders and 160,605 shares for Transaction Bonus Shares as defined in the share purchase agreement with Boxlight Group. Transaction Bonus Shares are to be issued to Boxlight Group shareholders’ representative and to be allocated among Boxlight Group employees by Boxlight shareholders’ representative in its sole discretion.

 

Shares to be issued to Genesis equal to 4.0%, of the fully diluted common shares (as defined in the agreement) that would be outstanding after giving effect to the acquisition of Boxlight Group.

 

Adjustment also reflects 243,778 shares to be issued to our legal counsel upon the IPO.

 

(7) Weighted Average Outstanding Shares – On a pro forma basis, we consider all shares to be issued in connection with the acquisition of Boxlight Group and Genesis transactions to have been issued and outstanding at the beginning of the periods presented. Following is a breakdown for all shares to be issued to different parties pursuant to the Transaction:

 

		For the Six Months Ended June 30, 2016				For the Year Ended Dec 31, 2015
Boxlight Group shareholders			2,168,168				2,168,168
Genesis members			390,252				390,252
Shares to legal counsel			243,778				243,778
Total shares to be issued			2,802,198				2,802,198
Boxlight Corporation’s Weighted Average Outstanding Shares			4,411,514				4,306,701
Pro forma Weighted Average Outstanding Shares			7,213,712				7,108,899

 

 

These share amounts have been calculated based on the percentages of total fully diluted outstanding shares the party would receive based on the results of the acquisitions. Total fully diluted outstanding shares as defined by the agreement, is temporarily assumed to be 9,757,273 shares for pro forma disclosure purposes and will be updated to the final result when the offering price is set. The fully diluted outstanding shares include all shares issued and outstanding for the acquisitions and for cash, all shares issuable upon exercise of warrants and options previously granted by BOXL that would have a dilutive or anti-dilutive effect and stock options to be granted to Boxlight Group’s employees according to the purchase agreement between Boxlight Group and BOXL. The fully-diluted shares do not include 197,472 shares issued in our private placements in September and October 2016 and 219,580 shares issued to settled outstanding debt.

 

(8) We have not reflected any pro forma adjustments to reflect the tax impact of the pro forma adjustments, as we believe that the tax impact would not be material.

 

(9) Agreement with Legal Counsel – On December 16, 2015, we entered into an agreement with our securities counsel, Loeb & Loeb (“Loeb”). Pursuant to the agreement, we agreed to issue 243,778 shares of our Class A common stock and to make a cash payment of $162,500 upon consummation of this offering as settlement for compensation for services rendered in relation to this offering. For the 243,778 shares issued to Loeb, Loeb has the same rights as other investors but is subject to a six-month lock-up period.

 

Commencing with the first month after the completion of this offering, the Company shall make 6 monthly cash payments to Loeb, each in the amount of $27,000, for Loeb to return 73,153 shares. In 12 months after the completion of this offering, the Company shall pay cash of $325,000 for Loeb to return 146,065 shares.

If we fail to make timely payments, Loeb will keep all the shares not repurchased.

 

(10) Issuance of Long-term and Short-term Debt for Acquisition of Mimio – On May 5, 2016, pursuant to a membership interest purchase agreement, dated as of April 1, 2016, Boxlight Parent acquired 100% of the membership interest in Mimio from Mim Holdings, Inc. in exchange for a 4% $2,000,000 unsecured convertible promissory note due March 31, 2019 and the assumption of a 6% $3,425,000 senior secured note of Mim Holdings due July 3, 2016 that is payable to Skyview Capital, LLC, (“Skyview”), the former equity owner of Mimio (the “Skyview Note”). Effective as of August 3, 2016, the Skyview Note was restated as a $3,960,508 installment note of which $2,500,000 is due and payable on the earlier of September 30, 2016 or out of the net proceeds of a senior debt facility provided by an asset based lender, and the remaining balance is due and payable on December 15, 2016. For the six months ended June 30, 2016 and the year ended December 31, 2015 the pro forma adjustment for the interest expenses related to the notes was $78,000 and $285,000, respectively. On September 29, 2016, the $2,500,000 installment payment under the Skyview Note was paid out of the initial advances from Crestmark Bank under a maximum $5,000,000 senior secured line of credit.

 

(11) Mimio income and expense for the period from January 1, 2015 to November 2, 2015 –The pro form combined balance was adjusted to include Mimio’s operating results for the period from January 1, 2015 to November 2, 2015. Mimio was acquired by a company controlled by Vert Capital on November 3, 2015 and subsequently acquired by Boxlight Parent. The acquisition is considered as a common control transaction, whereby the operating results of Mimio for the period from November 3, 2015 to December 31, 2015 were included in Boxlight Parents’ retroactively adjusted balances.

 

To provide investors with additional insight and allow for a more comprehensive understanding of the information used by management in its financial and decision-making surrounding pro forma operations, we supplement our consolidated financial statements presented on a basis consistent with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, with EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure of earnings. EBITDA represents net income before income tax expense (benefit), interest income, interest expense, depreciation and amortization. Our management uses EBITDA as a financial measure to evaluate the profitability and efficiency of our business model. We use this non-GAAP financial measure to access the strength of the underlying operations of our business. These adjustments, and the non-GAAP financial measure that is derived from them, provide supplemental information to analyze our operations between periods and over time. We find this especially useful when reviewing pro forma results of operations, which include large non-cash amortizations of intangibles assets from acquisitions. Investors should consider our non-GAAP financial measure in addition to, and not as a substitute for, financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Key business metrics

 

In addition to the measures presented in our pro forma combined financial statements, we use the following key metrics to evaluate our business, measure our performance, develop financial forecasts and make strategic decisions.

 

(in thousands)		Six months ended June 30, 2016				Year ended December 31, 2015
Key business metrics:
Projectors			3,797				13,700

Adjusted EBITDA		$	(556	)		$	(1,621	)

 

●	Units shipped. Units shipped represents the number of individual units that are shipped during a reporting period, net of any returns. We carry a variety of projectors and other peripherals which vary by model. We monitor units shipped on a monthly basis, as it is a key indicator of revenue trends for a reporting period. We use units shipped to help optimize our fulfillment operations and shipment allocations to better maintain operating efficiencies and improve customer satisfaction.
●	Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that we calculate as net income (loss), adjusted after excluding the impact of: provision (benefit) for income taxes, interest income, interest expense, depreciation and amortization, non-recurring IPO expense, and stock option expense. We will use Adjusted EBITDA as a key measure to understand and evaluate our core operating performance and trends, to prepare and approve our annual budget and to develop short- and long-term operational plans. In particular, the exclusion of certain expenses in calculating Adjusted EBITDA can provide a useful measure for period-to-period comparisons of our business. Accordingly, we believe that Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our operating results in the same manner as our management and board of directors.

 

 

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

This Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“MD&A”) contains certain forward-looking statements. Historical results may not indicate future performance. Our forward-looking statements reflect our current views about future events, are based on assumptions and are subject to known and unknown risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contemplated by these statements. Factors that may cause differences between actual results and those contemplated by forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, those discussed in “Risk Factors.” We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, including any changes that might result from any facts, events, or circumstances after the date hereof that may bear upon forward-looking statements. Furthermore, we cannot guarantee future results, events, levels of activity, performance, or achievements.

 

Overview

 

We are a visual display technology company that is seeking to become a world leading innovator, and integrator of interactive products for schools, as well as for business and government conferencing. We currently design, produce and distribute interactive projectors and distribute interactive LED flat panels in the education market. We also distribute science, technology, engineering and math (or “STEM”) data logging products to the educational market.

 

To date, we have generated substantially all of our revenue from the sale of our software and expanding product line of projectors, LED panels, interactive whiteboards and display devices to the educational market.

 

Acquisition Strategy and Challenges

 

Our growth strategy includes acquiring assets and technologies of companies that have products, technologies, industry specializations or geographic coverage that extend or complement our existing business. The process to undertake a potential acquisition is time-consuming and costly. We expect to expend significant resources to undertake business, financial and legal due diligence on our potential acquisition targets, and there is no guarantee that we will complete any acquisition that we pursue.

 

We believe we can achieve significant cost-savings by merging the operations of the companies we acquire and after their acquisition leverage the opportunity to reduce costs through the following methods:

 

	●	Staff reductions – consolidating resources, such as accounting, marketing and human resources.
	●	Economies of scale – improved purchasing power with a greater ability to negotiate prices with suppliers.
	●	Improved market reach and industry visibility – increase in customer base and entry into new markets.

 

As a result, we believe that an analysis of the historical costs and expenses of our Target Sellers prior to their acquisition will not provide guidance as to the anticipated results after acquisition. We anticipate that we will be able to achieve significant reductions in our costs of revenue and selling, general and administrative expenses from the levels currently incurred by the Target Sellers operating independently, thereby increasing our EBITDA and cash flows.

 

 

Components of our Results of Operations and Financial Condition

 

Revenue

 

Our revenue is comprised of product revenue , software revenue, installation revenue and professional development revenue.

 

	●	Product revenue. Product revenue is derived from the sale of our interactive projectors, flat panels, peripherals and accessories, along with other third party products, directly to our customers, as well as through our network of domestic and international distributors.
	●	Installation and professional development. We receive revenue from installation and professional development that we outsource to third parties.

 

Cost of revenue

 

Our cost of revenue is comprised of the following:

 

	●	third-party logistics costs;
	●	costs to purchase components and finished goods directly;
	●	inbound and outbound freight costs and duties;
	●	costs associated with the repair of products under warranty; and
	●	write-downs of inventory carrying value to adjust for excess and obsolete inventory and periodic physical inventory counts.

 

 

We outsource some of our warehouse operations and order fulfillment and purchase products from related and third parties. Our product costs will vary directly with volume and based on the costs of underlying product components as well as the prices we are able to negotiate with our contract manufacturers. Shipping costs fluctuate with volume as well as with the method of shipping chosen in order to meet customer demand. As a global company with suppliers centered in Asia and customers located worldwide, we have used, and may in the future use, air shipping to deliver our products directly to our customers. Air shipping is more costly than sea or ground shipping or other delivery options. We primarily use air shipping to meet the demand of our products during peak seasons and new product launches.

 

Gross profit and gross profit margin

 

Our gross profit and gross profit margin have been, and may in the future be, influenced by several factors including: product, channel and geographical revenue mix; changes in product costs related to the release of projector models; component, contract manufacturing and supplier pricing and foreign currency exchange. As we primarily procure our product components and manufacture our products in Asia, our suppliers incur many costs, including labor costs, in other currencies. To the extent that exchange rates move unfavorably for our suppliers, they may seek to pass these additional costs on to us, which could have a material impact on our future average selling prices and unit costs. Gross profit and gross profit margin may fluctuate over time based on the factors described above.

 

Operating expenses

 

We classify our operating expenses into three categories: research and development, general and administrative and depreciation and amortization.

 

Research and development. Research and development expense consists primarily of personnel related costs, prototype and sample costs, design costs and global product certifications mostly for wireless certifications.

 

General and administrative. General and administrative expense consists of personnel related costs, which include salaries, as well as the costs of professional services, such as accounting and legal, facilities, information technology and other administrative expenses. We expect our general and administrative expense to increase in absolute dollars following the completion of this offering due to the anticipated growth of our business and related infrastructure as well as accounting, insurance, investor relations and other costs associated with becoming a public company. General and administrative expense may fluctuate as a percentage of revenue, notably in the second and third quarters of our fiscal year when we have historically experienced our highest levels of revenue.

 

Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization expense consists of depreciation on our property, and equipment and amortization expense on our intangibles.

 

 

Other income (expense), net

 

Other income (expense), net consists of interest expense associated with our debt financing arrangements, interest income earned on our cash and foreign exchange transaction loss or gain. We do not utilize derivatives to hedge our foreign exchange risk, as we believe the risk to be immaterial to our results of operations.

 

Income tax expense

 

We are subject to income taxes in the United States and Mexico in which we do business. Mexico has statutory tax rate different from those in the United States. Additionally, certain of our international earnings are also taxable in the United States. Accordingly, our effective tax rates will vary depending on the relative proportion of foreign to U.S. income, the absorption of foreign tax credits, changes in the valuation of our deferred tax assets and liabilities and changes in tax laws. We regularly assess the likelihood of adverse outcomes resulting from the examination of our tax returns by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service, or IRS, and other tax authorities to determine the adequacy of our income tax reserves and expense. Should actual events or results differ from our current expectations, charges or credits to our income tax expense may become necessary. Any such adjustments could have a significant impact on our results of operations.

Discussion of Effect of Seasonality on Financial Condition

 

Certain accounts on our balance sheets are subject to seasonal fluctuations. As our business and revenues grow, we expect these seasonal trends to be reduced. The bulk of our products are shipped to our educational customers prior to the beginning of the school year, usually in July, August or September. To prepare for the upcoming school year, we generally build up inventories during the second quarter of the year. Therefore, inventories tend to be at the highest levels at that point in time. In the first quarter of the year, inventories tend to decline significantly as products are delivered to customers and we do not need the same inventory levels during the first quarter. Accounts receivable balances tend to be at the highest levels in the third quarter, in which we record the highest level of sales.

 

We have been very proactive, and will continue to be proactive, in obtaining contracts during the fourth and first quarters that will help offset the seasonality of our business.

Effective July 6, 2016 , the Company entered into a loan and security Agreement with Hitachi Capital America Corp. (“Hitachi”). The agreement allows the Company to borrow up to $2,500,000 based on eligible accounts receivable and inventory at an interest rate equal to one and 1.75% in excess of the prime rate. The loan is due and payable on demand. Under the terms of the Hitachi loan agreement, we applied $1,000,000 of the initial funding to pay EDI $1,000,000 in reduction of the Boxlight Group’s outstanding accounts payable. The Hitachi loan is secured by all assets of Boxlight Inc. and guaranteed by Boxlight Parent. We retired the outstanding amount payable to Hitachi on September 29, 2016, out of the proceeds of the line of credit financing received from Crestmark Bank.

 

On September 29, 2016 , the Boxlight Group and Mimio, as borrowers, entered into a maximum $5,000,000 senior secured line of credit facility with Crestmark Bank (“Crestmark”) secured by a first priority lien and security interest on the assets of both Mimio and the Boxlight Group. At the September 29, 2016 closing of the credit facility, based on 80 –85% of the eligible accounts receivable and $350,000 of inventory of Mimio and the Boxlight Group, a total of 2,911,390 was advanced by Crestmark. $350,266 of such advance was used to retire an existing senior secured note issued in July 2016 to Hitachi Capital America Corp., and $2,500,000 was used to pay the September 30, 2016 installment due to Skyview Capital under the Skyview Note. All outstanding amounts due and payable under the Crestmark line of credit facility bear interest at the rate of 5.75% per annum and are due and payable in full on demand.

 

Under the terms of the EDI share purchase agreement, as amended on September 28, 2016, the parties agreed that the Boxlight Group and Boxlight Parent will settle and pay approximately $5.75 million of accrued accounts payable currently owed to EDI, in the manner set forth below.

 

	●	$1,000,000 was paid at the closing of the Boxlight Group acquisition out of the net proceeds of the Hitachi financing;
	●	An additional $1,500,000 of the $5.75 million owed to EDI was to be paid by the Boxlight Group and Mimio in in six monthly installments of $250,000 each, commencing 30 days after the initial $1,000,000 payment referred to above. However, in view of the fact that such installment payments cannot be presently made by our Boxlight Group and Mimio subsidiaries under the subordination agreement between EDI and Crestmark Bank, we and EDI agreed that the “net proceeds” Boxlight Parent may receive from the sale of 1,000,000 shares of Class A common stock offered hereby shall be applied, first to prepay the $1,460, 508 principal balance due under the Skyview Note, and second to prepay the balance of the $1,500,000 installment obligation owed to EDI referred to above. We agreed with EDI that “Net Proceeds” means professional fees estimated at approximately $300,000, plus any commissions or underwriting fees that may be payable by Boxlight Parent to brokers, placement agents or underwriters who assist us in selling the shares of Class A Common Stock in this offering.
	●	$2,000,000 of the unpaid balance of our account payable is evidenced by a 4% non-negotiable convertible promissory note of Boxlight Parent payable to EDI, together with accrued interest, on March 31, 2019 (the “EDI Note”). Following completion of this offering, the EDI Note is convertible to shares of our Class A common stock at a conversion price equal to 80% of the initial per share offering price of the Class A common stock offered under this prospectus (estimated at $5.60 or 80% of our anticipated $7.00 initial offering price per share). Under the terms of the EDI Note, we have the option, in lieu of issuing our Class A common stock to prepay, within 72 hours of the first conversion notice, the entire unpaid principal amount of the EDI Note plus accrued interest thereon.

 

On September 29, 2016, we sold to K Laser, the principal stockholder of EDI, an aggregate of 178,572 shares of our Class A common stock at a price of $5.60 per share and received net proceeds of $1,000,003. The per share sales price is intended to be 80% of the initial price per share of Class A common stock offered to the public under this prospectus. Accordingly, the 178,572 shares of Class A common stock are subject to increase in the event that the initial offering price of the shares offered under this prospectus is less than $7.00. The $5.60 price and the number of shares sold in the private placement will not change if the initial per share offering price under this prospectus shall be greater than $7.00. The private placement was conducted through the efforts of our management and with the assistance of K Laser and its affiliates. No commissions or other compensation was paid in connection with such private placement. The $1,000,003 of net proceeds of such private placement was used together with advances from Crestmark under the above line of credit to retire outstanding indebtedness to Hitachi and pay the $2,500,000 installment due under the Skyview Note.

 

Our cash requirements consist primarily of day-to-day operating expenses, capital expenditures and contractual obligations with respect to facility leases, capital equipment leases and other operating leases. We lease all of our office facilities. We expect to make future payments on existing leases from cash generated from operations.

 

We believe that the combination of funds currently available from our various resources will be adequate to finance our ongoing operations for the foreseeable future. In addition, we plan to continue to explore acquisitions and strategic investments related to our business that we may acquire using cash, stock, debt, contribution of assets or a combination thereof.

 

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles accepted in the United States. In connection with the preparation of our financial statements, we are required to make assumptions and estimates about future events and apply judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, expenses and the related disclosures. We base our assumptions, estimates and judgments on historical experience, current trends and other factors that management believes to be relevant at the time our consolidated financial statements are prepared. On a regular basis, we review the accounting policies, assumptions, estimates and judgments to ensure that our financial statements are presented fairly and in accordance with GAAP. However, because future events and their effects cannot be determined with certainty, actual results could differ from our assumptions and estimates, and such differences could be material.

 

Our significant accounting policies are discussed in notes to each set of the financial statements. We believe that the following accounting estimates are the most critical to aid in fully understanding and evaluating our reported financial results, and they require our most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, resulting from the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

Revenue is comprised of product revenue, net of sales returns. Revenue is derived from the sale of projectors, and data - logging products, as well as the related accessories. The Company recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the sales price is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured. Evidence of an arrangement consists of an order from its distributors, resellers or end users.

 

The Company’s standard terms and conditions of sale do not allow for product returns, and it generally does not allow product returns other than under warranty. However, the Company grants limited rights to return product for certain large retailers and distributors. Estimates of expected future product returns are recognized at the time of sale based on analyses of historical return trends. Upon recognition, the Company reduces revenue and cost of sales for the estimated return. Return rates can fluctuate over time, but are sufficiently predictable to allow the Company to estimate expected future product returns.

 

The Company generally provides 36 to 60 month warranty coverage on all of its products, except when sold through a “Premier Education Partner” or sold to schools, where the Company provides a 48 to 60 months warranty. The Company’s warranty provides for repair or replacement of the associated products during the warranty period. The Company establishes a liability for estimated product warranty costs at the time product revenue is recognized, if the liability is expected to be material. The warranty obligation is affected by product failure rates and the related use of materials, labor costs and freight incurred in correcting any product failure. Should actual product failure rates, use of materials, or other costs differ from the Company’s estimates, additional warranty liabilities could be required, which would reduce its gross profit.

 

The Company offers sales incentives where the Company offers discounted products delivered by the Company to its resellers and distributors that are redeemable only if the resellers and distributors complete specified cumulative levels of revenue agreed to and written into their reseller and distributor agreements through an executed addendum. The resellers and distributors have to submit a request for the discounted products and cannot redeem additional discounts within 180 days from the date of the discount given on like products. The value of the award products as compared to the value of the transactions necessary to earn the award is generally insignificant in relation to the value of the transactions necessary to earn the award. The Company estimates and records the cost of the products related to the incentive as marketing expense based on analyses of historical data.

 

 

Business Combinations

 

We account for the acquisition of Boxlight Group under the provisions of ASC 805-10, “Business Combinations” (ASC 805-10), which requires that the purchase method of accounting be used for all business combinations, and have concluded that each of the businesses whose assets were acquired or are to be acquired constitute a business in accordance with ASC 805-10-55.

 

Assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including non-controlling interests, are recorded at the date of acquisition at their respective fair values. ASC 805-10 also specifies criteria that intangible assets acquired in a business combination must meet to be recognized and reported apart from goodwill. Goodwill represents the excess purchase price over the fair value of the tangible net assets and intangible assets acquired in a business combination. Acquisition related expenses are recognized separately from the business combinations and are expensed as incurred. If the business combination provides for contingent consideration, we record the contingent consideration at fair value at the acquisition date with changes in the fair value after the acquisition date affecting earnings. Changes in deferred tax asset valuation allowances and income tax uncertainties after the measurement period will affect income tax expense.

 

Common control transactions

 

Business acquired from Vert Capital are accounted for as common control transactions whereby the net assets (liabilities) acquired (assumed) are combined with the Company’s at their carrying value. Any difference between carrying value and recognized consideration is treated as a capital transaction. Cash received from the acquired entities is presented as an investing activity in our consolidated statement of cash flows.

 

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Goodwill

 

Intangible assets, including customer relationships and the value of agreements not to compete arising from our various acquisitions are recorded at cost less accumulated amortization and are amortized using a method which reflects the period in which the economic benefit of the related intangible assets is utilized, which has been estimated to be three years. For intangible assets subject to amortization, impairment is recognized if the carrying amount is not recoverable and the carrying amount exceeds the fair value of the intangible assets.

 

The intellectual property and customer relationships and associated contracts represent the most significant portion of the value of the purchase price for each of our acquisitions. Our largest acquisition holds intangible assets and has developed substantial technologies.

 

Goodwill consists of the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of identifiable net assets of businesses acquired. We expect to record goodwill in connection with all of our acquisitions. With these acquisitions, goodwill will be evaluated for impairment using a two-step process that will be performed at least annually in October of each year, or whenever events or circumstances indicate that impairment may have occurred. The first step is a comparison of the fair value of an internal reporting unit with its carrying amount, including goodwill. We will integrate all acquired businesses with our core business and utilize a single technology platform, and have our chief operating decision maker, which is our Chief Executive Officer, monitor and review financial information at a consolidated level for assessing operating results and the allocation of resources. Therefore , we will have a single reporting unit. If the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds its carrying value, goodwill of the reporting unit is not considered impaired and the second step is unnecessary.

 

If the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, a second test is performed to measure the amount of impairment by comparing the carrying amount of the goodwill to a determination of the implied value of the goodwill. If the carrying amount of the goodwill is greater than the implied value, an impairment loss is recognized for the difference. The implied value of goodwill is determined as of the test date by performing a purchase price allocation, as if the reporting unit had just been acquired, using currently estimated fair values of the individual assets and liabilities of the reporting unit, together with an estimate of the fair value of the reporting unit taken as a whole. The estimate of the fair value of the reporting unit is based upon information available regarding prices of similar groups of assets, or other valuation techniques including present value techniques based upon estimates of future cash flow.

 

 

Inventories

 

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Materials and spare parts inventory is primarily determined using the weighted average cost method. Finished goods is primarily determined using weighted average cost and specific identification method. Cost includes materials, labor, and manufacturing overhead related to the purchase and production of inventories.

 

The Company continuously reviews its inventory levels to identify slow-moving merchandise and markdowns necessary to clear slow-moving merchandise, which reduces the cost of inventories to its estimated net realizable value. Consideration is given to a number of quantitative and qualitative factors, including current pricing levels and the anticipated need for subsequent markdowns, aging of inventories, historical sales trends, and the impact of market trends and economic conditions. Estimates of markdown requirements may differ from actual results due to changes in quantity, quality and mix of products in inventory, as well as changes in consumer preferences, market and economic conditions.

 

Income Taxes

 

We account for income taxes using the asset and liability method, as prescribed by ASC 740, income taxes, which recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. 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 on 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 on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. We record net deferred tax assets to the extent that these assets will more likely than not be realized. Valuation allowances are recorded to reduce deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that a tax benefit will not be realized. This assessment requires judgment as to the likelihood and amounts of future taxable income by tax jurisdiction.

  

Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation

 

We account for stock-based compensation to employees, including grants of employee stock options in accordance with ASC 718, “Stock Compensation,” which requires that share-based payments (to the extent they are compensatory) be recognized in our consolidated statements of operations based on their grant date fair values. We will recognize stock-based compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the service period of the award.

 

Emerging Growth Company

 

We are an “emerging growth company,” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, or the JOBS Act. Certain specified reduced reporting and other regulatory requirements that are available to public companies that are emerging growth companies.

 

These provisions include:

 

(1)	an exemption from the auditor attestation requirement in the assessment of our internal controls over financial reporting required by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002;
(2)	an exemption from the adoption of new or revised financial accounting standards until they would apply to private companies;
(3)	an exemption from compliance with any new requirements adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, or the PCAOB, requiring mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the auditor’s report in which the auditor would be required to provide additional information about our audit and our financial statements; and
(4)	reduced disclosure about our executive compensation arrangements.

 

We have elected to take advantage of the exemption from the adoption of new or revised financial accounting standards until they would apply to private companies. As a result of this election, our financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with public company effective dates.

 

 

BUSINESS

 

Our Company

 

Boxlight Parent was incorporated in Nevada on September 18, 2014 for the purpose of becoming a technology company that sells interactive educational products.

 

Effective April 1, 2016, Boxlight Corporation acquired Mimio LLC. Mimio designs, produces and distributes the broadest range of Interactive Classroom Technology products primarily targeted at the global K-12 education market. Mimio’s core products include interactive projectors, interactive flat panel displays, interactive touch projectors, touchboards and MimioTeach, which can turn any whiteboard interactive in 30 seconds. Mimio’s product line also includes an accessory document camera, teacher pad for remote control and an assessment system. Mimio was founded on July 11, 2013 and maintains its headquarter in Boston, Massachusetts. Manufacturing is by ODM’s and OEM’s in Taiwan and China. Mimio products have been deployed in over 600,000 classrooms in dozens of countries. Mimio’s software is provided in over 30 languages.

 

Effective July 18, 2016, Boxlight Corporation acquired the Boxlight Group. The Boxlight Group sells and distributes a suite of patented, award-winning interactive projectors that offer a wide variety of features and specifications to suit the varying needs of instructors, teachers and presenters. With an interactive projector, any wall, whiteboard or other flat surface becomes interactive. A teacher, moderator or student can use the included pens or fingers as a mouse to write or draw images displayed on the surface. As with interactive whiteboards, interactive projectors accommodate multiple users simultaneously. Images that have been created through the projected interactive surface can be saved as computer files. The Boxlight Group’s new ProjectoWrite 12 series, launched in February 2016, allows the simultaneous use of up to ten simultaneous points of touch.

 

Combined, we are a leading technology company that focuses on the education and learning industry. We improve, produce and distribute products currently offered by Mimio the Boxlight Group and Genesis, including interactive projectors, 70” and 84” hi-resolution interactive LED panels, and science, technology, engineering and math (“STEM”) data logging products, and develop new products utilizing a combination of technologies of the Boxlight Group and Mimio. The combined operation will integrate significant research and development, international manufacturing capabilities, and an established global reseller network. Our goal is to become a single source, world-leading innovator, manufacturer and integrator of interactive products for schools and universities, as well as for training and instruction for business and governmental agencies.

 

Integration Strategy

 

Within 120 days of the acquisitions, we plan to centralize our business management through an enterprise resource planning system currently utilized by Boxlight Inc. that offers multi-language and multi-currency. It is our intention to streamline the process to drive front-line sales forecasting to factory production. Through the enterprise resource planning system, we plan to first synchronize five separate accounting and customer relationship management systems through a cloud-based interface to improve inter-company information sharing and allow management at BOXL to have immediate access to snapshots of the performance of all of our subsidiaries, their financial data and live currency impact on our combined financial results.

 

Research and Development

 

Mimio, the Boxlight Group and Genesis products are designed to enhance learning experiences in schools, government and business by bringing life to lessons, using interactive educational tools. Research suggests that interactive presentation tools can positively affect student engagement, motivation, understanding and review processes and accommodate students with different learning styles, including students who have special needs. A study in 100 classrooms per year conducted by Dr. Robert Marzano, a top United States researcher in the field of education, concluded that students who had been taught using interactive whiteboards and interactive devices improved their test scores on average by 16 percentile over a two-year period. 

 

Logistics and Manufacturing

 

Logistics for Mimio is currently being provided by the Boxlight Group out of our Lawrenceville, Georgia facility through a managed services agreement. Manufacturing for Mimio is by ODM’s and OEM’s in Taiwan and China.

 

Sales and Marketing

 

Sales and marketing for Mimio and the Boxlight Group were combined on March 31, 2016. Our combined sales force has eleven regional account managers in the US, six in Mexico, one Vice President of Sales and one National Sales Manager. Within six months of this offering and the consummation of the acquisitions, we intend to expand the scope of our combined sales force by adding five additional sales persons, primarily to drive sales of interactive projectors and data logging products to school districts, corporations and governmental agencies throughout the United States and Europe, and sales of all of our products in Africa, Latin America and Asia. In addition, we will utilize traditional value-added resellers through Genesis and support them to become knowledgeable of the products, vendors and suppliers of the combined entity. Our combined companies currently have approximately 800 resellers.

 

We believe that the combined operation will represent a unique vertically integrated interactive-technology company capable of developing and improving products, manufacturing and distribution, and service and support to customers.

 

 

Our Markets

 

The global education industry is undergoing a significant transition, as primary and secondary school districts, colleges and universities, as well as governments, corporations and individuals around the world are increasingly recognizing the importance of using technology to more effectively provide information to educate students and other users.

 

“Smart education” denotes a range of technologies employed to enhance the delivery and administration of education across various segments such as K-12, higher education, enterprise, government and healthcare. This market is broadly segmented by four major parameters; namely, product type, application type, e-learning modes, and geography.

 

According to “All Global Market Education & Learning”, an industry publication, the market for hardware products is growing due to increases in the use of interactive white boards and simulation-based learning hardware. Education institutions have become more receptive to the implementation of hi-tech learning tools. The advent of technology in the classroom has enabled multi-modal training and varying curricula. In general, technology based tools help develop student performance when integrated with curriculum. The constant progression of technology in education has helped educators to create classroom experiences that are interactive, developed and collaborative.

 

According to market research report “Smart Education and Learning Market: Advanced Technologies, Digital Models, Adoption Trends and Worldwide Market Forecast (2012-2017),” the global smart education and learning market is expected to reach $220.0 billion by 2017 at a compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) of 20.3% from 2012 to 2017. The market for education and learning software is estimated to reach $37.2 billion, and hardware is estimated to reach $12.1 billion, by 2017. In 2011, North America accounted for about 60% of global revenue and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 15.2% from 2012 to 2017.

 

In the United States, which will be our primary market upon consummation of this offering where we will sell and distribute interactive educational products for K-12 to both public and private schools, the K-12 education sector represents one of the largest industry segments.

 

In addition to its size, the U.S. K-12 education market is highly decentralized and is characterized by complex content adoption processes. The sector is comprised of approximately 15,600 public school districts across the 50 states and 132,000 public and private elementary and secondary schools. We believe this market structure underscores the importance of scale and industry relationships and the need for broad, diverse coverage across states, districts and schools. Even while we believe certain initiatives in the education sector, such as the Common Core State Standards, a set of shared math and literacy standards benchmarked to international standards, have increased standardization in K-12 education content, we believe significant state standard specific customization still exists, and we believe the need to address customization provides an ongoing need for companies in the sector to maintain relationships with individual state and district policymakers and expertise in state-varying academic standards.

 

U.S. K-12 education has come under significant political scrutiny in recent years, due to the recognition of its importance to U.S. society at large and concern over the perceived decline in U.S. student competitiveness relative to international peers. An independent task force report published in March 2012 by the Council on Foreign Relations, a non-partisan membership organization and think tank, observed that American students rank far behind global leaders in international tests of literacy, math and science, concluding that the current state of U.S. education severely impairs the United States’ economic, military and diplomatic security as well as broader components of America’s global leadership. Also, the Executive Office of the President Council of Economic Advisors, in a report titled Unleashing the Potential of Educational Technology, stated that “many observers are concerned about declines in the relative quality of U.S. primary and secondary education, and improving performance of our schools has become a national priority.” We believe that the customization of learning programs could enhance innovative and growth strategies geared towards student performance in our nation’s schools.

 

Higher education is a large and well-established market, both in the United States and worldwide. In the United States alone, total revenue for all degree-granting postsecondary institutions was over $550 billion for the 2010-2011 academic year, according to a May 2013 report by the U.S. National Center for Education Statistics. The decade between 2000 and 2010 saw a 37% increase in enrollment in postsecondary degree granting institutions in the United States, from 15.3 million to 21.0 million, according to the U.S. Department of Education, and that number is expected to rise to 23.8 million by 2021, a further increase of 13%.

 

According to a November 2013 study by Bank of America Merrill Lynch, total global spending on the business and government e-learning market was $25.5 billion in 2012 and is expected to reach $32.1 billion by 2015 and $37.5 billion by 2017; an 8% CAGR between 2012 and 2017.

 

 

Our Opportunity

 

We believe that the existing patented product portfolios of Mimio and the Boxlight Group and software and products we intend to develop either alone or in collaboration with other technology companies positions us to be a leading manufacturer and provider of interactive educational products in the global educational and learning market. We believe that increased consumer spending driven by the close connection between levels of educational attainment, evolving standards in curriculum, personal career prospects and economic growth will increase the demand for our interactive educational products. Some of the factors that we believe will impact our opportunity include:

 

Growth in U.S. K-12 Market Expenditures

 

Significant resources are being devoted to primary and secondary education, both in the United States and abroad. As set forth in the Executive Office of the President, Council of Economic Advisers report, U.S. education expenditure has been estimated at approximately $1.3 trillion, with K-12 education accounting for close to half ($625 billion) of this spending. Global spending is roughly triple U.S. spending for K-12 education.

 

While the market has historically grown above the pace of inflation, averaging 7.2% growth annually since 1969, as expenditures by school districts and educational institutions are largely dependent upon state and local funding, the recent world-wide economic recession caused many states and school districts to defer spending on educational materials, which materially and adversely affected our historical revenues as well as those of many of our competitors. However, expenditures and growth in the U.S. K-12 market for educational content and services now appears to be rebounding in the wake of the U.S. economic recovery. Although, the economic recovery has been slower than anticipated, and there is no assurance that any further improvement will be significant, nonetheless, states such as Florida, California and Texas are all scheduled to adopt interactive educational materials for certain subjects, including reading and math, by 2016.

 

The NCES forecasts that the current expenditures in the U.S. K-12 market are expected to grow to approximately $665 billion by 2022. The instructional supplies and services market, which uses the types of educational materials and services that we will offer, represents approximately 4.8% of this expected market, or approximately $32 billion of these expenditures. There is no guarantee that spending will increase by the amount forecasted and, if it does, there is no guarantee that our sales will increase accordingly.

 

International Catalysts Driving Adoption of Learning Technology

 

According to Ambient Insights 2012 Snapshot of the Worldwide and US Academic Digital Learning Market, substantial growth in revenues for e-learning products in the academic market segment are anticipated throughout the world due to several convergent catalysts, including population demographics such as significant growth in numbers of 15-17 year old students and women in education in emerging markets; government-funded education policies mandating country-wide deployment of digital learning infrastructures; large scale digitization efforts in government and academic markets; significant increases in the amount of digital learning content; migration to digital formats by major educational publishers and content providers; mass purchases of personal learning devices and strong demand for learning platforms, content and technology services; and rapid growth of part-time and fulltime online student enrollments.

 

 

Rising Global Demand

 

We expect to profit from the rising global demand for technology based learning products by offering our interactive product hardware and software in the United States and expanding into foreign countries. In recent years, the global education sector has seen movement towards the adoption of interactive learning devices. As examples:

 

	●	In 2010, the Peruvian government spent $3.0 billion for an education technology rollout to provide all teachers and students with individual tablet computers and network infrastructure and classroom displays;
	●	In August 2011, the Russian government announced a plan to deploy tablets, “on a massive scale” in the Russian educational system, to replace printed textbooks;
	●	In October 2011, the Indian government launched its heavily subsidized school-designed tablet called Aakash; and
	●	In July 2011, the Thailand government announced that it intends to give every child in grades 1-6 a tablet starting with first grade students in the 2012 school year. The multi-year program is expected to equip over 5.0 million primary students with handheld devices.

 

Trends in Tech-Savvy Education

 

While industries from manufacturing to health care have adopted technology to improve their results, according to Stanford Business School, in its Trends in Tech-Savvy Education, the education field remains heavily reliant on “chalk and talk” instruction conducted in traditional settings; however, that is changing as schools and colleges adopt virtual classrooms, data analysis, online games, highly customized coursework, and other cutting-edge tools to help students learn.

 

Demand for Interactive Projectors is on the Rise

 

As a complete system, interactive projectors are considerably less expensive than interactive whiteboards or interactive flat panel displays, placing them at a distinct advantage in price sensitive markets. According to FutureSource, an industry publication, sales of interactive projectors are expected to grow steadily from 2014 to 2017 with a CAGR at 10.3% world-wide.

 

Additional Technologies

 

The delivery of digital education content is also driving a substantial shift in the education market. In addition to white boards, interactive projectors and interactive flat panels, other technologies are being adapted for educational uses on the Internet, mobile devices and through cloud-computing, which permits the sharing of digital files and programs among multiple computers or other devices at the same time through a virtual network. We intend to be a leader in the development and implementation of these additional technologies to create effective digital learning environments.

 

Handheld Device Adoption

 

Handheld devices, including smartphones, tablets, e-readers and digital video technologies, are now fundamental to the way students communicate. A 2010 FCC survey provides evidence that the rates of handheld use will increase dramatically. It reported that while 50% of respondents currently use handhelds for administrative purposes, 14% of schools and 24% of districts use such devices for academic or educational purposes. Furthermore, 45% of respondents plan to start using such devices for academic and educational purposes within the next 2 to 3 years. The survey stated that, “The use of digital video technologies to support curriculum is becoming increasingly popular as a way to improve student engagement.”

 

 

Natural User Interfaces (NUIs)

 

Tablets and the new class of “smart TVs” are part of a growing list of other devices built with natural user interfaces that accept input in the form of taps, swipes, and other ways of touching; hand and arm motions; body movement; and increasingly, natural language. Natural user interfaces allow users to engage in virtual activities with movements similar to what they would use in the real world, manipulating content intuitively. The idea of being able to have a completely natural interaction with a device is not new, but neither has its full potential been realized. For example, medical students increasingly rely on simulators employing natural user interfaces to practice precise manipulations, such as catheter insertions, that would be far less productive if they had to try to simulate sensitive movements with a mouse and keyboard. NUIs make devices seem easier to use and more accessible, and interactions are far more intuitive, which promotes exploration and engagement. (NMC Horizon Project Technology Outlook STEM+ Education 2012-2017).

 

The Business and Government Market

 

The business and government market for interactive displays represents an attractive growth opportunity for us because of the desire of organizations to improve the quality of training, development and collaboration.

 

In meeting rooms, our solutions help achieve the following:

 

	●	Enhance brainstorming and collaboration by providing a real-time focal point upon which participants can share their ideas with the entire group of attendees, including those in remote locations;
	●	Add a tangible, interactive dimension to conferencing that enables attendees to visualize a situation or concept and make decisions based on that visualization;
	●	Save time and enhance productivity by enabling users to save and distribute their collective work product from a meeting without the inconsistencies and subjectivity that may result from individual note taking;
	●	Realize cost savings not only by reducing travel needs, but also by improving internal communication and team building; and
	●	Enable participants to access digital files and use applications in real time.

 

In training centers, we believe that our solutions help to enhance achievement levels with multi-modality (visual, auditory and kinesthetic) learning capabilities, improved interactivity and engagement and real time assessment and feedback. Our solutions may also help improve an enterprise’s return on investment by providing better trained employees reducing training time and getting employees back to their jobs, reduced travel expenses, improved customers service from well-trained employees and reduced employee turnover.

 

Competition

 

We are engaged in the interactive education industry. The combined operation will face substantial competition from developers, manufacturers and distributers of interactive learning products and solutions. The industry is highly competitive and characterized by frequent product introductions and rapid technological advances that have substantially increased the capabilities and use of interactive projectors and interactive whiteboards. We will face increased competition from companies with strong positions in certain markets we serve, and in new markets and regions we may enter. These companies manufacture and/or distribute new, disruptive or substitute products that compete for the pool of available funds that previously could have been spent on interactive displays and associated products. Our ability to integrate our technologies after the combination and remain innovative and develop new technologies desired by our current and potential new contract manufacturing customers will determine our ability to grow our contract manufacturing divisions.

 

Mimio’s Current Products

 

MimioStudio Interactive Instructional Software

 

MimioStudio Instructional Software enables the creation, editing, and presentation of interactive instructional lessons and activities. These can be presented and managed from the front of the classroom using any of Mimio’s display systems including MimioTeach + MimioProjector, MimioDisplay, MimioBoard Touch + MimioProjector, or MimioProjector Interactive in either pen or touch controlled versions. MimioStudio can also be operated using MimioPad as a full-featured remote control or a mobile device such as an iPad or tablet which includes a display screen that fully replicates the front-of-classroom display generated by MimioStudio. Operation with a mobile device is enabled via the three-user license for MimioMobile, see next, provided with the MimioStudio license that accompanies all front-of-classroom devices from Mimio.

 

MimioMobile Collaboration and Assessment Application

 

The introduction of MimioMobile, a software accessory for MimioStudio, in 2014 introduced a new era of fully interactive student activities that are able to be directly and immediately displayed on the front-of-classroom display through MimioStudio.

 

MimioMobile allows fully interactive activities to be pushed to student classroom devices. The students can manipulate objects within the activities, annotate “on top” of them, and even create completely new content on their own handheld devices. MimioMobile also enables assessment using the mobile devices. The teacher can create multiple choice, true\false, yes\no, and text entry assessment questions. The students can respond at their own speed and their answers are stored within MimioStudio from which the teacher can display graphs showing student results. This “continuous assessment” allows formative assessment that can help guide the teacher as to whether to re-teach the material if understanding is low or move forward in the lesson. We believe that this interactive and student dependent instructional model can dramatically enhance student outcomes.

 

Mimio Front-of-Classroom Interactive Displays

 

Mimio offers the broadest line of interactive displays, each of which provides large size displays and interactive technology that complements the capabilities of MimioStudio and MimioMobile.

 

MimioProjector Interactive Projectors

 

Mimio offers interactive projectors using lamp (the 240 and 280 series of projectors) and laser illumination technologies (newly introduced in February 2016 as the 320 and 3200 series). Each is available with pen-based interactivity using infra-red emitting pens or touch-based technology using an emitter that generates a laser field over the entire surface of an associated whiteboard.

 

The pen versions of these interactive projectors can display images as large as 130” diagonally in 16:10 aspect ratio. The touch-based versions can display images as large as 100” in the same 16:10 aspect ratio. All models support up to ten simultaneous interactions meaning multiple students can simultaneously work. The projectors come with high quality audio and appropriate wall mounting hardware.

 

MimioDisplay Interactive Flat Panel Displays

 

Mimio offers five sizes of Interactive Flat Panel Displays – 55”, 65”, 70”, 75”, and 84” measured diagonally in 16:9 HD aspect ratio. Each produces extraordinarily sharp images suitable for a range of classroom sizes.

Mimio’s Interactive Touch Boards are available in 78” and 87” at 16:10 aspect ratio. These boards provide sophisticated interactivity with any projector because the interactivity is built into the board. Unlike many competitive products, Mimio’s touch boards are suited for use with dry erase markers. Many competitive products advise against using those because their boards stain. Mimio’s touch boards use a porcelain-on-steel surface for durability and dry erase compatibility.

 

MimioTeach Interactive Whiteboard

 

MimioTeach is the company’s best known and longest-lived product. Hundreds of thousands of MimioTeach interactive whiteboards and its predecessors are used in classrooms around the world. MimioTeach can turn any whiteboard into an interactive whiteboard in as little as 30 seconds. This portable product fits into a tote bag with room for a small desktop projector, which is attractive to teachers who move from classroom to classroom. For schools where “change is our normal,” MimioTeach eliminates the high cost of moving fixed-mount implementations 

 

Peripherals and accessories

 

MimioVote Student Assessment System

 

MimioVote is a handheld “clicker” that enables student assessment with essentially zero training. MimioVote is so simple it genuinely qualifies as intuitive, an elusive and often proclaimed attribute that is actually merited by MimioVote.

 

MimioPad wireless pen tablet

 

MimioPad is a wireless tablet used for remote control of MimioStudio running on the teacher’s Windows, Mac or Linux computer. MimioPad frees the watcher from being constrained to the front of the classroom by providing complete mobility in a lightweight, rechargeable, wireless controller.

In the past several years, the Boxlight Group, together with strategic allies, has provided customized products that fit specific needs of customers, such as the Israeli Ministry of Defense. Working with Nextel Systems, the Boxlight Group delivered approximately 4,000 projectors, with special kitting performance, asset tagging, custom start up screens, operating defaults appropriate for harsh environments, and other unique product specifications. the Boxlight Group also met requirements that each projector contain at least 51% U.S. content and be assembled in the United States. A service center was appointed in Israel to provide warranty service and support. The US Army in connection with the Israeli Defense Forces found the Boxlight Group to be the only manufacturer able to meet the stringent requirements, leading not only to the original multi-year contract, but to extensions for favorable execution and performance.

 

Software Solutions

 

The Boxlight Group produces a “driver,” which is software that allows a computer to communicate with hardware or devices. Our driver comes in various versions depending on the model of interactive projector purchased. If used with Windows7 and above, users have the ability to toggle between ‘mouse’ and ‘touch’ mode. Mouse mode allows users to operate the mouse at the interactive screen like a traditional mouse. Touch mode will allow for up to 5 pens/users to interact on the touch screen surface. The latest TouchDriver on the ProjectorWrite 10 recognizes fingers (or nearly any other solid object) at the projection surface and will allow for up to 10 points of interactivity.

 

Our LightPen 5 software allows users to annotate in multiple colors and formats with our interactive projectors and is one of several annotation packages offered. Our SPDriver must be connected to a Boxlight Group interactive projector to function. The LightPen software defaults to overlay mode and allows the user to annotate over almost every program and image on the computer, including static images and/or full motion video. The tool bar is easily accessible and can be moved around the interactive screen for easy access and includes three default pen colors and a highlighter.

 

 

Pen line thickness and color can be changed, multi-user whiteboard mode allows for up to 5 points of interaction at a time, and a multi-page feature allows for extended note-taking. With included quick tools, such as on-screen keyboard quick tool, power point presentation mode, curtain reveal, and spot light modes, presenters’ needs are met at the tip of a pen or finger.

 

To date, all of the Boxlight Group’s software solutions are included with the purchase of its interactive products. However, approximately 15% of the Boxlight Group employees are engaged in software development. Subject to completion of this offering and access to adequate liquidity, we intend to offer LightPen and other software products for sale directly to businesses and government agencies for use in learning applications and virtual remote desktop connectivity.

The Boxlight Group handles most of its warehouse and logistics functions in North America. In North America Boxlight’s facilities are located near Seattle, WA and Atlanta, GA.

 

The Boxlight Group currently has its technical support and service located near Seattle, WA and Atlanta, GA. Additionally, the Boxlight Group’s technical support division is responsible for the repair and closing of the customer service cases, resulting in more than 60% of the Boxlight Group’s customer service calls ending in immediate closure of the applicable service case. The Boxlight Group accomplishes this as a result of the familiarity between the Boxlight Group’s products and the customer service technician.

 

 

Competition

 

The Boxlight Group is engaged in an industry that is highly competitive. The industry is evolving and characterized by technological change. The Boxlight Group faces increased competition from companies with strong positions in certain markets it currently serves and in new markets and regions it may enter. These companies manufacture and/or distribute new, disruptive or substitute products that compete for the pool of available funds that previously could have been spent on interactive displays and associated products. The Boxlight Group competes with other developers, manufacturers and distributors of interactive projectors and personal computer technologies, tablets, television screens, smart phones.

 

Interactive whiteboards, since first introduced, have evolved from a high-cost technology that involves multiple components, requiring professional installers, to a one-piece technology that is available at increasingly reduced price points and affords simple installations. With lowered technology entry barriers, the Boxlight Group faces heated competition from other interactive whiteboard developers, manufacturers and distributors. However, the market presents new opportunities in responding to demands to replace outdated and failing interactive whiteboards with more affordable and simpler solution interactive whiteboards. In addition, the Boxlight Group has begun to see expansion in the market to sales of complementary products that work in conjunction with the interactive technology, including software, audio solutions, data capture, and tablets.

On July 18, 2016, Boxlight Holdings, Inc., a newly formed Delaware subsidiary of Boxlight Parent, consummated the acquisition of the Boxlight Group under a share purchase agreement, dated May 12, 2016, with Everest Display, Inc., a Taiwan corporation (“EDI”) and its subsidiary, Guang Feng International Ltd. (“Guang Feng”) subsidiary, the former shareholder of the Boxlight Group. K Laser Technology, Ltd., a Taiwan corporation (“K Laser”) is the majority shareholder of EDI. Under the terms of the share purchase agreement, we paid to the owners of the shares of the Boxlight Group, a purchase price valued at $5,400,000. The purchase price was paid by delivery of 270,000 shares of our Series C Preferred Stock, that has a stated or liquidation value of $20.00 per share. Upon completion of this offering, the Series C Preferred Stock shall automatically, and without any further action on the part of the holders or Boxlight Parent, convert into shares of our Class A common stock. Such newly converted shares of Class A common stock, (including certain bonus shares of Class A common stock representing 8% of the shares issuable upon conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock) to be issued to EDI or its subsidiaries, will total 2,168,168 shares of our Class A common stock, representing approximately 22.22% of our fully-diluted common stock. Hank Nance, our Chief Operating Officer and the President of the Boxlight Group, will receive 94,122 of these shares. Under the terms of the share purchase agreement, the term “ fully -diluted common stock” excludes shares of our Class A common stock sold in this offering an in the private placement consummated in September 2016.

 

Under the terms of the EDI share purchase agreement, as amended on September 28, 2016, the parties agreed that the Boxlight Group and Boxlight Parent will settle and pay approximately $5.75 million of accrued accounts payable currently owed to EDI, in the manner set forth below. 

 

	●	$1,000,000 was paid at the closing of the Boxlight Group acquisition out of the net proceeds of the Hitachi financing;
	●	An additional $1,500,000 of the $5.75 million owed to EDI was to be paid by the Boxlight Group and Mimio in in six monthly installments of $250,000 each, commencing 30 days after the initial $1,000,000 payment referred to above. However, in view of the fact that such installment payments cannot be presently made by our Boxlight Group and Mimio subsidiaries under the subordination agreement between EDI and Crestmark Bank, we and EDI agreed that the “net proceeds” Boxlight Parent may receive from the sale of 1,000,000 shares of Class A common stock offered hereby shall be applied, first to prepay the $1,460, 508 principal balance due under the Skyview Note, and second to prepay the balance of the $1,500,000 installment obligation owed to EDI referred to above. We agreed with EDI that “Net Proceeds” means professional fees estimated at approximately $300,000, plus any commissions or underwriting fees that may be payable by Boxlight Parent to brokers, placement agents or underwriters who assist us in selling the shares of Class A Common Stock in this offering.
	●	$2,000,000 of the unpaid balance of our account payable is evidenced by a 4% non-negotiable convertible promissory note of Boxlight Parent payable to EDI, together with accrued interest, on March 31, 2019 (the “EDI Note”). Following completion of this offering, the EDI Note is convertible to shares of our Class A common stock at a conversion price equal to 80% of the initial per share offering price of the Class A common stock offered under this prospectus (estimated at $5.60 or 80% of our anticipated $7.00 initial offering price per share). Under the terms of the EDI Note, we have the option, in lieu of issuing our Class A common stock to prepay, within 72 hours of the first conversion notice, the entire unpaid principal amount of the EDI Note plus accrued interest thereon.

 

On May 5, 2016, pursuant to a membership interest purchase agreement, dated as of April 1, 2016, Boxlight Parent acquired 100% of the membership interest in Mimio, from Mim Holdings, LLC., a Delaware limited liability company wholly-owned by the Marlborough Brothers Trust, a trust established for the benefit of members of the families of affiliates of VC2 Partners LLC, in exchange for a 4% $2,000,000 unsecured convertible promissory note due March 31, 2019, and the assumption of a 6% $3,425,000 senior secured note of Mim Holdings that was due July 3, 2016 and was payable to Skyview Capital, LLC, (“Skyview”), the former equity owner of Mimio (the “Skyview Note”). For purposes of the purchase agreement, the sale to Boxlight Parent, was deemed to have been consummated as of April 1, 2016.

 

The Skyview Note was issued by Mim Holdings to Skyview on November 4, 2015 as payment for the acquisition of 100% of the membership equity of Mimio. The Skyview Note is guaranteed and secured by a lien and security interest on all of the assets of Mimio. Prior to the sale of Mimio to Boxlight Parent, VC2 Partners LLC (the former owner of Mim Holdings assigned its equity in Mim Holdings to the Marlborough Brothers Family Trust (the “Marlborough Trust”). Affiliates of VC2 Partners, including Michael Pope, our President and member of the board of directors of Boxlight Parent, and members of their families, are beneficiaries of the Marlborough Trust and other trusts who are principal stockholders of Boxlight Parent. See “Principal Stockholders” on page 66 of this Prospectus.

 

Under the terms of an August 1, 2016 amendment to the original 2015 purchase agreement with Skyview:

 

	●	The principal of the Skyview note was increased to $4,010,508, which includes $50,000 in cash plus accrued interest through July 2016 paid by us on August 4, 2016 and an amended and restated Skyview Note with $3,960,508 principal
		A total of $2,500,000 of the principal amount of the restated Skyview Note was due and payable on September 30, 2016 , and (b) the $1,460,508 unpaid principal balance plus accrued interest is due on December 15, 2016;
	●	Skyview agreed to subordinate its lien and security interest on the Mimio assets and right to payment of the final installment of the restated Skyview Note to the priority lien and security interest of Crestmark Bank, our senior secured asset based lender; and
	●	The restated Skyview Note is now guaranteed by Boxlight Parent, Mim Holdings, VC2 Partners LLC, the former owner of Mim Holdings, and Vert Capital Corp.

 

On September 29, 2016, the $2,500,000 installment due September 30, 2016 under the Skyview Note was paid out of the proceeds of senior secured financing from Crestmark Bank .

 

In connection with the acquisition of Mimio by Boxlight Parent, in May 2016 we issued a $2,000,000 note payable to Mim Holdings, Inc., the former stockholder of Mimio. The note is convertible by the holder into shares of Class A common stock of Boxlight Parent at a per share conversion price equal to 55% of the initial offering price per share of BOXL common stock offered to the public under the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part. Accordingly, and assuming a $7.00 per share initial offering price of the shares offered hereby, the $2,000,000 Marlborough Note would be convertible into an aggregate of 519,481 shares of our Class A common stock, based on a $3.85 per share conversion price. The note has full-ratchet anti-dilution protection and is pre-payable at the Company’s election during the first 180 days after issuance at premiums of 25% to 45%. Under various circumstances, including a change in control of the Company or a default on the note, at the holder’s option, the Company must prepay the note with a 50% premium.

 

Mim Holdings is wholly-owned by the Marlborough Brothers Family Trust, a trust established for the benefit of members of the families of Adam Levin and Michael Pope. Mr. Pope is the President and a member of our board of directors.

 

On September 28, 2016, we sold to K Laser, the principal stockholder of EDI, an aggregate of 178,572 shares of our Class A common stock at a purchase price of $5.60 per share and received net proceeds of $1,000,003. The per share sales price is intended to be 80% of the initial price per share of Class A common stock offered to the public under this prospectus. Accordingly, the 178,572 shares of Class A common stock are subject to increase in the event that the initial offering price of the shares offered under this prospectus is less than $7.00. The $5.60 price and the number of shares sold in the private placement will not change if the initial per share offering price under this prospectus shall be greater than $7.00. The private placement was conducted through the efforts of our management and with the assistance of K Laser and its affiliates. No commissions or other compensation was paid in connection with such private placement. The $1,000,003 of net proceeds of such private placement was used together with advances from Crestmark under the above line of credit to retire outstanding indebtedness to Hitachi and pay the $2,500,000 installment due under the Skyview Note.

 

K Laser has also advised us that it would consider the purchase, for an additional $1,000,000, of a total of 142,857 share of Class A common stock being offered by Boxlight Parent under this prospectus.

 

In September and October 2016, prior to the date of this prospectus, Boxlight Parent sold in a private placement to 27 individuals (including Mark Elliott, our Chief Executive Officer) an aggregate of 234,830 additional shares of our Class A common stock at a price of $1.00 per share. The purpose of the sale of these $1.00 Shares was intended to reduce a total of $234,830 of indebtedness and other obligations owed to such creditors, members of management and employees,

Governing Documents that May Have an Antitakeover Effect

 

Certain provisions of our Fourth Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation and our Bylaws, which are discussed below could discourage or make it more difficult to accomplish a proxy contest, change in our management or the acquisition of control by a holder of a substantial amount of our voting stock.

 

Our Fourth Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation provide that our Board has the authority to issue preferred stock in one or more classes or series and fix such designations, powers, preferences and rights and the qualifications thereof without further vote by our stockholders. The issuance of preferred stock may have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of our company without further action by the stockholders and may adversely affect the voting and other rights of the holders of our Class A common stock.

 

Our By-laws limit the ability to call special meetings of the stockholders to the Chairman of the Board, or the Chief Executive Officer, or, if there is no Chairman or Chief Executive Officer, then by the president. The stockholders have no right to request or call a special meeting and cannot take action by written consent.

 

Our By-laws provide that our Board shall be classified into three classes. Each director shall hold office for a three-year term, or until the next annual meeting of stockholders at which his or her successor is elected and qualified.

 

Our By-laws provide that the removal of a director from the Board, with or without cause, must be by affirmative vote of not less than 2/3 of the voting power of our issued and outstanding stock entitled to vote generally in the election of directors (voting as a single class), excluding stock entitled to vote only upon the happening of a fact or event unless such fact or event shall have occurred, is required to remove a director from the Board with or without cause.

 

Listing

 

Our Class A common stock has been approved for listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “BOXL”, subject to notice of issuance.

 

 

SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE

 

Future sales of substantial amounts of Class A common stock in the public market after this offering could adversely affect market prices prevailing from time to time and could impair our ability to raise capital through the sale of our equity securities.

The principal factors considered in determining the public offering price of the shares included:

	●	the history and the prospects for the industry in which we compete;
	●	the ability of our management;
	●	the prospects for our future earnings;
	●	the present state of our development and our current financial condition;
	●	the general condition of the economy and the securities markets in the United States at the time of this offering;

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

 

We are offering 1,000,000 shares of our Class A common stock for the account of the Company on a “best efforts” basis. This offering will terminate on a date which shall be 120 days after the date of this prospectus. There is no minimum number of shares of our Class A common stock that we must sell to complete such offering and all proceeds received from the sale of such shares will be retained by us.

 

We intend to offer the 1,000,000 shares of our Class A common stock at an initial offering price of $7.00. However, the price or prices at which we will sell such shares during the 120 offering period may vary based on market demand, prices at which our Class A common stock trades and other factors. There is no assurance that we will be able to sell any or all of such shares.

 

The offering is being conducted on a self-underwritten, best efforts basis, which means our management and/or controlling stockholders will attempt to sell our Class A common stock pursuant to this prospectus directly to the public, with no commission or other remuneration payable to them for any shares they may sell. In offering the Shares on our behalf, management and controlling shareholder will rely on the safe harbor from broker-dealer registration set forth in Rule 3a4-1 under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Our 1,000,000 shares of Class A common stock will be offered at a fixed price of $7.00 per share for a period of 120 days from the effective date of this prospectus. The offering shall terminate on the first to occur of (i) the date when we decide to do so, (ii) when the offering is fully subscribed for, or (iii) 120 days from the date of this prospectus.

 

None of our officers, directors or affiliates will receive any commissions or other compensation from the sale of our shares.

 

Our management and controlling stockholders may, from time to time, engage the services of one or more broker/dealers who are registered with the SEC to assist us in the sale of such shares. In such event, we may pay commissions to such broker/dealers of up to 7% of the gross proceeds we may receive from sales of our Class A common stock that are initiated by them. Accordingly, for example, if all 1,000,000 shares were sold through broker/dealers, our proceeds before expenses would be reduced to $6,510,000.

 

There is currently no public market for our Class A common stock and there can be no assurance that a market for such shares will develop either during or upon completion of this offering.

 

In the event that during or upon completion of this offering, we meet the initial listing requirements under its Rule 5505(a) and Rule 5505(b)(i), we will seek to list our Class A common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Markets under the symbol “BOXL”. Among other requirements, we would need to have at least 300 round lot holders of our Class A common stock and a a minimum $15,000,000 in market value of our publicly traded shares (defined as shares held by all stockholders other than our officers, directors and holders of 10% or more of our outstanding Class A common stock).. There is no assurance that we will be able to meet such listing requirements or that our shares will trade on any national securities exchange.

Notes to Combined Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

 

NOTE 1 – NATURE OF OPERATIONS, BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

THE COMPANY

 

Boxlight, Inc., Boxlight Latinoamerica, S.A. DE C.V. (“BLA”) and Boxlight Latinoamerica Servicios, S.A. DE C.V. (“BLS”) (together, the “Company”) were incorporated on July 11, 2009, October 17, 2002 and October 17, 2002, respectively. Boxlight, Inc. maintains its headquarters in Atlanta, Georgia and BLA and BLS maintain their headquarters in Mexico City, Mexico. The Company is involved principally in the distribution of interactive projectors and integrated solutions that enhance learning and enable people to collaborate with each other in innovative and effective ways. In June 2016, the Company engaged legal counsel in Mexico to start the process of closing the operations of BLA and BLS. BLA and BLS have been merged into Boxlight, Inc. in July 2016.

 

The Company was wholly owned by Everest Display Inc., a manufacturing company in Taiwan. In May 2016, Everest Display Inc. agreed to sell all of its ownership in the Company to Boxlight Corporation, a company incorporated in the State of Nevada. On July 18, 2016, the Company was acquired by Boxlight Corporation. See Note 14.

 

BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND PRINCIPLES OF COMBINATION

 

The accompanying combined unaudited financial statements include the accounts of Boxlight, Inc., BLA and BLS. Transactions and balances among Boxlight Inc., BLA and BLS have been eliminated. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted from these statements pursuant to such rules and regulations and, accordingly, they do not include all the information and notes necessary for comprehensive financial statements and should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2015.

 

In the opinion of the management of the Company, all adjustments, which are of a normal recurring nature necessary for a fair statement of the results for the three-month period have been made. Results for the interim period presented is not necessarily indicative of the results that might be expected for the entire fiscal year.

 

ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS

 

Preparing financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses. Examples include estimates of loss contingencies, including legal risks and exposures, product warranties, product life cycles, and product returns. Actual results and outcomes may differ from management’s estimates and assumptions.

 

FOREIGN CURRENCIES

 

Boxlight, Inc.’s functional currency is the U.S. Dollar. BLA and BLS’s functional currency is the Mexican Peso. The Company translates their financial statements from their functional currencies into the U.S. dollar.

 

An entity’s functional currency is the currency of the primary economic environment in which it operates and is generally the currency in which the business generates and expends cash. BLA and BLS, whose functional currency is Mexican Peso, translate their assets and liabilities into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates in effect as of the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated into U.S. dollars at the average exchange rates for the year. Translation adjustments are included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), a separate component of equity (deficit). Foreign exchange gains and losses included in net income result from foreign exchange fluctuations on transactions denominated in a currency other than an entity’s functional currency.

 

 

The Company enters into transactions that are denominated in currencies other than its functional currency. At each balance sheet date, we translate these asset or liability accounts to our functional currency and record unrealized transaction gains or losses. When these assets or liabilities settle, we record realized transaction gains or losses. These realized and unrealized gains or losses are included in the accompanying combined statements of operations and comprehensive loss under the caption, “Other income (expense)”.

 

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

 

The Company considers all highly liquid short-term investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. These investments are carried at cost, which approximates fair value. The Company maintains cash balances at financial institutions which, from time to time, may exceed Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insured limits of $250,000 for banks located in the U.S. The Company has not experienced any losses with regard to its bank accounts and believes it is not exposed to any rick of loss on its cash bank accounts.

 

ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS

 

The allowance for doubtful accounts reflects our best estimate of probable losses inherent in the accounts receivable balance. The Company determines the allowance based on known troubled accounts, historical experience, and other currently available evidence.

 

INVENTORIES

 

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value and mainly consisted of spare parts and finished goods. Inventories are primarily determined using specific identification method and the cost includes materials and other costs related to the purchase of inventories.

 

The Company continuously reviews its inventory levels to identify slow-moving merchandise and markdowns necessary to clear slow-moving merchandise, which reduces the cost of inventories to its estimated net realizable value. Consideration is given to a number of quantitative and qualitative factors, including current pricing levels and the anticipated need for subsequent markdowns, aging of inventories, historical sales trends, and the impact of market trends and economic conditions. Estimates of markdown requirements may differ from actual results due to changes in quantity, quality and mix of products in inventory, as well as changes in consumer preferences, market and economic conditions.

 

PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

 

Property and equipment is stated at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over the shorter of the estimated life of the asset or the lease term. Repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred.

 

LONG - LIVED ASSETS

 

Long-lived assets to be held and used or disposed of other than by sale are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. When required, impairment losses on assets to be held and used or disposed of other than by sale are recognized based on the fair value of the asset. Long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale are reported at the lower of its carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell.

 

INTANGIBLE ASSETS

 

The Company’s intangible assets are made up of a trademark acquired. Trademark has an indefinite life and is not subject to amortization.

 

 

The Company evaluates the recoverability of intangible assets periodically and take into account events or circumstances that warrant revised estimates of useful lives or that indicate that impairment exists. No material impairments of intangible assets have been identified during any of the periods presented.

 

DEFERRED REVENUE

 

Deferred revenue represents amounts collected for extended warranty separately priced. The Company recognizes revenue from extended warranty contract using straight-line method over estimated life of product which is three years.

 

REVENUE RECOGNITION

 

Revenue is comprised of product revenue, net of sales returns. Revenue is derived from the sale of projectors, as well as the related accessories. The Company recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the sales price is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured. Evidence of an arrangement consists of an order from its distributors, resellers or end users.

 

The Company’s standard terms and conditions of sale do not allow for product returns and it generally does not allow product returns other than under warranty. However, the Company grants limited rights to return product for certain large retailers and distributors. Estimates of expected future product returns are recognized at the time of sale based on analyses of historical return trends. Upon recognition, the Company reduces revenue and cost of sales for the estimated return. Return rates can fluctuate over time, are sufficiently predictable to allow the Company to estimate expected future product returns.

 

The Company generally provides 36 to 60 months warranty coverage on all of its products except when sold through a “Premier Education Partner” or sold to schools where the Company provides a 48 to 60 months warranty. The Company’s warranty provides for repair or replacement of the associated products during the warranty period. The Company establishes a liability for estimated product warranty costs at the time product revenue is recognized, if the liability is expected to be material. The warranty obligation is affected by product failure rates and the related use of materials, labor costs and freight incurred in correcting any product failure. Should actual product failure rates, use of materials, or other costs differ from the Company’s estimates, additional warranty liabilities could be required, which would reduce its gross profit.

 

The Company offers sales incentives where the Company offers discounted products delivered by the Company to its resellers and distributors that are redeemable only if the resellers and distributors complete specified cumulative levels of revenue agreed to and written into their reseller and distributor agreements through an executed addendum. The resellers and distributors have to submit a request for the discounted products and cannot redeem additional discounts within 180 days from the date of the discount given on like products. The value of the award products as compared to the value of the transactions necessary to earn the award is generally insignificant in relation to the value of the transactions necessary to earn the award. The Company estimates and records the cost of the products related to the incentive as marketing expense based on analyses of historical data.

 

INCOME TAXES

 

An asset and liability approach is used for financial accounting and reporting for income taxes. Deferred income taxes arise from temporary differences between income tax and financial reporting and principally relate to recognition of revenue and expenses in different periods for financial and tax accounting purposes and are measured using currently enacted tax rates and laws. In addition, a deferred tax asset can be generated by net operating loss carryforwards (“NOLs”). If it is more likely than not that some portion or all of a deferred tax asset will not be realized, a valuation allowance is recognized.

 

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 

The Company evaluated all transactions from June 30, 2016 through the financial statement issuance date for subsequent event disclosure consideration.

 

 

NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

 

In April 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-09, “Compensation – Stock Compensation” (topic 718). The FASB issued this update to improve the accounting for employee share-based payments and affect all organizations that issue share-based payment awards to their employees. Several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment award transactions are simplified, including: (a) income tax consequences; (b) classification of awards as either equity or liabilities; and (c) classification on the statement of cash flows. The updated guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption of the update is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the new standard.

 

In February 2016, FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02 “Leases” (topic 842), which creates new accounting and reporting guidelines for leasing arrangements. The new guidance requires organizations that lease assets to recognize assets and liabilities on the balance sheet related to the rights and obligations created by those leases, regardless of whether they are classified as finance or operating leases. Consistent with current guidance, the recognition, measurement, and presentation of expenses and cash flows arising from a lease primarily will depend on its classification as a finance or operating lease. The guidance also requires new disclosures to help financial statement users better understand the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. The new standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within that reporting period, with early application permitted. The new standard is to be applied using a modified retrospective approach. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the new pronouncement on its financial statements.

 

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606).” The new guidance provides new criteria for recognizing revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in amounts that reflect the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The new guidance requires expanded disclosures to provide greater insight into both revenue that has been recognized and revenue that is expected to be recognized in the future from existing contracts. Quantitative and qualitative information will be provided about the significant judgments and changes in those judgments that management made to determine the revenue that is recorded. This accounting standard update, as amended, will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019. The new revenue standard may be applied retrospectively to each prior period presented or retrospectively with the cumulative effect recognized as of the date of adoption. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than fiscal 2017. The Company is currently assessing the provisions of the guidance and has not determined the impact of the adoption of this guidance on its combined financial statements.

 

NOTE 2 – GOING CONCERN

 

The Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and has a net capital deficit that raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The Company’s management is planning to obtain financing from its parent company. To the extent that funds provided by the parent company are insufficient, the Company will have to raise additional working capital through other sources.

 

As a result of the above discussed conditions, there exists substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements are presented on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability of the recorded assets or the classification of liabilities that may be necessary should it be determined that we are unable to continue as a going concern.

NOTE 14 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 

Acquisition by Boxlight Corporation

 

On July 18, 2016, the Company was acquired by Boxlight Corporation, under the terms of a Share Purchase Agreement entered into on May 10, 2016 with Everest Display, Inc. (“EDI”). Under the terms of the share purchase agreement, Boxlight Holdings, Inc., a newly formed Delaware subsidiary of Boxlight Corporation acquired the equity of the Company and paid to EDI or its subsidiaries a purchase price valued at $5,400,000. The purchase price was paid by delivery of 270,000 shares of Boxlight Corporation’s Series C Preferred Stock, that has a stated or liquidation value of $20.00 per share. Upon completion of Boxlight Corporation’s IPO and subject to the listing of its Class A common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market or other securities exchange acceptable to EDI, the Series C Preferred Stock shall automatically convert into shares of Class A common stock. Such newly converted shares of Class A common stock to be issued to EDI or its subsidiaries represents approximately 22.22% of Boxlight Corporation’s fully-diluted common stock.

 

Under the terms of the share purchase agreement, as amended on September 28, 2016, the parties agreed that EDI and Boxlight Corporation will settle and pay approximately $5.75 million of accrued accounts payable owed to EDI at September 28, 2016, in the manner set forth below.

 

	(1)	$1,000,000 was paid at the closing of the acquisition out of the net proceeds of the Boxlight Corporation’s financing;
	(2)	An additional $1,500,000 of the $5.75 million owed to EDI was to be paid by the Boxlight Corporation and its subsidiaries in six monthly installments of $250,000 each, commencing 30 days after the initial $1,000,000 payment referred to above.  EDI and the Boxlight Corporation agreed that the net proceeds from IPO shall be applied, first to prepay the $1,460,508 principal balance due under Boxlight Corporation’s Skyview Note and second to prepay the balance of the $1,500,000 installment obligation owed to EDI referred to above;
	(3)	$2,000,000 of the unpaid balance of the account payable is settled with a 4% non-negotiable convertible promissory note of Boxlight Corporation payable to EDI, together with accrued interest, on March 31, 2019 (the “EDI Note”).  Following the completion of Boxlight Corporation’s IPO, the EDI Note is convertible to shares of Boxlight Corporation’s Class A common stock at a conversion price equal to 80% of the initial per share offering price of the Class A common stock offered under the IPO. Boxlight Corporation has the option, in lieu of issuing its Class A common stock, to prepay the entire unpaid principal amount of the EDI Note plus accrued interest thereon within 72 hours of the first conversion notice.

 

 

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

To the Board of Directors of

Boxlight Corporation

Atlanta, Georgia

 

We have audited the accompanying combined balance sheets of Boxlight, Inc., Boxlight Latinoamerica, S.A. DE C.V. and Boxlight Latinoamerica Servicios, S.A. DE C.V. (together, the “Company”) as of December 31, 2015 and 2014 and the related combined statements of operations and comprehensive loss, changes in stockholder’s deficit and cash flows for each of the years then ended. Management is responsible for these financial statements. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

In our opinion, the combined financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Boxlight, Inc., Boxlight Latinoamerica, S.A. DE C.V. and Boxlight Latinoamerica Servicios, S.A. DE C.V. as of December 31, 2015 and 2014 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

The accompanying combined financial statements have been prepared assuming that Boxlight, Inc., Boxlight Latinoamerica, S.A. DE C.V. and Boxlight Latinoamerica Servicios, S.A. DE C.V. will continue as going concerns. As discussed in Note 2 to the combined financial statements, Boxlight, Inc., Boxlight Latinoamerica, S.A. DE C.V. and Boxlight Latinoamerica Servicios, S.A. DE C.V. have suffered recurring losses from operations and have a net capital deficit that raise substantial doubt about their ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 2. The combined financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome.

 

As discussed in Note 14 to the combined financial statements, the Company has restated its combined financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 for the deferred revenue from separately priced extended warranty. We audited the restatement adjustments described in Note 14 that were applied to restate the 2015 and 2014 combined financial statements. In our opinion, such adjustments are appropriate and have been properly applied.

Notes to Combined Financial Statements

 

NOTE 1 – NATURE OF OPERATIONS, BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

THE COMPANY

 

Boxlight, Inc., Boxlight Latinoamerica, S.A. DE C.V. (“BLA”) and Boxlight Latinoamerica Servicios, S.A. DE C.V. (“BLS”) (together, the “Company”) were incorporated on July 11, 2009, October 17, 2002 and October 17, 2002, respectively. Boxlight, Inc. maintains its headquarters in Atlanta, Georgia and BLA and BLS maintain their headquarters in Mexico City, Mexico. The Company is involved principally in the distribution of interactive projectors and integrated solutions that enhance learning and enable people to collaborate with each other in innovative and effective ways.

 

The Company is wholly owned by Everest Display Inc., a manufacturing company in Taiwan. In May 2016, Everest Display Inc. agreed to sell all of its ownership in the Company to Boxlight Corporation, a company incorporated in the State of Nevada. See Note 12.

 

BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND PRINCIPLES OF COMBINATION

 

The combined financial statements and accompanying notes are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The combined financial statements include the accounts of Boxlight, Inc., BLA and BLS. Transactions and balances among Boxlight Inc., BLA and BLS have been eliminated.

 

ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS

 

Preparing financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses. Examples include estimates of loss contingencies, including legal risks and exposures, product warranties, product life cycles, and product returns. Actual results and outcomes may differ from management’s estimates and assumptions.

 

FOREIGN CURRENCIES

 

Boxlight, Inc.’s functional currency is the U.S. Dollar. BLA and BLS’s functional currency is the Mexican Peso. The Company translates their financial statements from their functional currencies into the U.S. dollar.

 

An entity’s functional currency is the currency of the primary economic environment in which it operates and is generally the currency in which the business generates and expends cash. BLA and BLS, whose functional currency is Mexican Peso, translate their assets and liabilities into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates in effect as of the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated into U.S. dollars at the average exchange rates for the year. Translation adjustments are included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), a separate component of equity (deficit). Foreign exchange gains and losses included in net income result from foreign exchange fluctuations on transactions denominated in a currency other than an entity’s functional currency.

 

The Company enters into transactions that are denominated in currencies other than its functional currency. At each balance sheet date, we translate these asset or liability accounts to our functional currency and record unrealized transaction gains or losses. When these assets or liabilities settle, we record realized transaction gains or losses. These realized and unrealized gains or losses are included in the accompanying combined statements of operations and comprehensive loss under the caption, “Other expenses”.

 

 

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

 

The Company considers all highly liquid short-term investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. These investments are carried at cost, which approximates fair value. The Company maintains cash balances at financial institutions which, from time to time, may exceed Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insured limits of $250,000 for banks located in the U.S. The Company has not experienced any losses with regard to its bank accounts and believes it is not exposed to any rick of loss on its cash bank accounts.

 

ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS

 

The allowance for doubtful accounts reflects our best estimate of probable losses inherent in the accounts receivable balance. The Company determines the allowance based on known troubled accounts, historical experience, and other currently available evidence.

 

INVENTORIES

 

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value and mainly consisted of spare parts and finished goods. Inventories are primarily determined using specific identification method and the cost includes materials and other costs related to the purchase of inventories.

 

The Company continuously reviews its inventory levels to identify slow-moving merchandise and markdowns necessary to clear slow-moving merchandise, which reduces the cost of inventories to its estimated net realizable value. Consideration is given to a number of quantitative and qualitative factors, including current pricing levels and the anticipated need for subsequent markdowns, aging of inventories, historical sales trends, and the impact of market trends and economic conditions. Estimates of markdown requirements may differ from actual results due to changes in quantity, quality and mix of products in inventory, as well as changes in consumer preferences, market and economic conditions.

 

PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

 

Property and equipment is stated at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over the shorter of the estimated life of the asset or the lease term. Repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred.

 

LONG LIVED ASSETS

 

Long-lived assets to be held and used or disposed of other than by sale are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. When required, impairment losses on assets to be held and used or disposed of other than by sale are recognized based on the fair value of the asset. Long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale are reported at the lower of its carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell.

 

INTANGIBLE ASSETS

 

The Company’s intangible assets are made up of a trademark acquired. Trademark has an indefinite life and is not subject to amortization.

 

The Company evaluates the recoverability of intangible assets periodically and take into account events or circumstances that warrant revised estimates of useful lives or that indicate that impairment exists. No material impairments of intangible assets have been identified during any of the periods presented.

 

DEFERRED REVENUE

Deferred revenue represents amounts collected for extended warranty separately priced. The Company recognizes revenue from extended warranty contract using straight-line method over term of the contract (estimated life of product) which is three years.

 

 

REVENUE RECOGNITION

 

Revenue is comprised of product revenue, net of sales returns, and extended warranty revenue. Revenue is derived from the sale of projectors, as well as the related accessories. The Company recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the sales price is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured. Evidence of an arrangement consists of an order from its distributors, resellers or end users.

 

The Company’s standard terms and conditions of sale do not allow for product returns and it generally does not allow product returns other than under warranty. However, the Company grants limited rights to return product for certain large retailers and distributors. Estimates of expected future product returns are recognized at the time of sale based on analyses of historical return trends. Upon recognition, the Company reduces revenue and cost of sales for the estimated return. Return rates can fluctuate over time, are sufficiently predictable to allow the Company to estimate expected future product returns.

 

The Company generally provides 36 to 60 months warranty coverage on all of its products except when sold through a “Premier Education Partner” or sold to schools where the Company provides a 48 to 60 months warranty. The Company’s warranty provides for repair or replacement of the associated products during the warranty period. The Company establishes a liability for estimated product warranty costs at the time product revenue is recognized, if the liability is expected to be material. The warranty obligation is affected by product failure rates and the related use of materials, labor costs and freight incurred in correcting any product failure. Should actual product failure rates, use of materials, or other costs differ from the Company’s estimates, additional warranty liabilities could be required, which would reduce its gross profit.

 

The Company offers sales incentives where the Company offers discounted products delivered by the Company to its resellers and distributors that are redeemable only if the resellers and distributors complete specified cumulative levels of revenue agreed to and written into their reseller and distributor agreements through an executed addendum. The resellers and distributors have to submit a request for the discounted products and cannot redeem additional discounts within 180 days from the date of the discount given on like products. The value of the award products as compared to the value of the transactions necessary to earn the award is generally insignificant in relation to the value of the transactions necessary to earn the award. The Company estimates and records the cost of the products related to the incentive as marketing expense based on analyses of historical data. For the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, the amount for such incentive were $0 and $32,143, respectively.

 

INCOME TAXES

 

An asset and liability approach is used for financial accounting and reporting for income taxes. Deferred income taxes arise from temporary differences between income tax and financial reporting and principally relate to recognition of revenue and expenses in different periods for financial and tax accounting purposes and are measured using currently enacted tax rates and laws. In addition, a deferred tax asset can be generated by net operating loss carryforwards (“NOLs”). If it is more likely than not that some portion or all of a deferred tax asset will not be realized, a valuation allowance is recognized.

 

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 

The Company evaluated all transactions from December 31, 2015 through the financial statement issuance date for subsequent event disclosure consideration.

 

NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

 

In April 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-09, “Compensation – Stock Compensation” (topic 718). The FASB issued this update to improve the accounting for employee share-based payments and affect all organizations that issue share-based payment awards to their employees. Several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment award transactions are simplified, including: (a) income tax consequences; (b) classification of awards as either equity or liabilities; and (c) classification on the statement of cash flows. The updated guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption of the update is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the new standard.

 

 

In February 2016, FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02 “Leases” (topic 842), which creates new accounting and reporting guidelines for leasing arrangements. The new guidance requires organizations that lease assets to recognize assets and liabilities on the balance sheet related to the rights and obligations created by those leases, regardless of whether they are classified as finance or operating leases. Consistent with current guidance, the recognition, measurement, and presentation of expenses and cash flows arising from a lease primarily will depend on its classification as a finance or operating lease. The guidance also requires new disclosures to help financial statement users better understand the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. The new standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within that reporting period, with early application permitted. The new standard is to be applied using a modified retrospective approach. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the new pronouncement on its financial statements.

 

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606).” The new guidance provides new criteria for recognizing revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in amounts that reflect the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The new guidance requires expanded disclosures to provide greater insight into both revenue that has been recognized and revenue that is expected to be recognized in the future from existing contracts. Quantitative and qualitative information will be provided about the significant judgments and changes in those judgments that management made to determine the revenue that is recorded. This accounting standard update, as amended, will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019. The new revenue standard may be applied retrospectively to each prior period presented or retrospectively with the cumulative effect recognized as of the date of adoption. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than fiscal 2017. The Company is currently assessing the provisions of the guidance and has not determined the impact of the adoption of this guidance on its consolidated financial statements.

 

NOTE 2 – GOING CONCERN

 

The Company had suffered recurring losses from operations and has a net capital deficit that raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The Company’s management is in the final stages of obtaining an asset based lending facility to provide necessary working capital. Management believes this will provide sufficient funds to enable the Company to continue as a going concern.. To the extent that funds provided by facility are insufficient or if the Company is not able to obtain the facility, the Company will have to raise additional working capital through other sources.

 

As a result of the above discussed conditions, there exists substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements are presented on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability of the recorded assets or the classification of liabilities that may be necessary should it be determined that we are unable to continue as a going concern.

NOTE 8 – INCOME TAXES

 

The Company operates in the United States and Mexico. Income taxes have been provided based upon the tax laws and rates of the countries in which operations are conducted and income is earned. The components of the income tax provision for each of the periods presented below are as follows:

 

		2015				2014
United States		$	-			$	-
Mexico			4,734				2,936
Total		$	4,734			$	2,936

 

The statutory tax rate for Boxlight Inc. is 35%. The statutory tax rate for BLA and BLS is 30%. The items accounting for the difference between income taxes computed at the statutory rate and the provision for income taxes consist of the following:

 

		2015				2014
Computed income tax benefit at statutory tax rate			33	%			33	%
Nondeductible expenses			(3	%)			(1	%)
Changes in allowance on deferred tax assets			(31	%)			(32	%)
Total income tax expense			(1	%)			-

 

 

Deferred income taxes are provided to reflect temporary differences in the basis of net assets for income tax and financial reporting purposes. The tax-effected temporary differences and tax loss carryforwards which comprise deferred taxes assets are as follows:

 

		2015				2014
Inventory write-downs		$	77,200			$	31,368
Allowance for doubtful accounts and returns			564,529				346,987
Depreciation			16,368				16,330
Deferred revenue			308,052				290,399
Others			183,909				165,204
Net operating loss carryforwards			785,907				800,570
Total deferred tax assets			1,935,965				1,650,858
Valuation allowance			(1,935,965	)			(1,650,858	)
Deferred tax assets, net		$	-			$	-

 

As of December 31, 2015, the Company had income tax net operating loss carryforward of approximately $2.4 million that expires from 2017 to 2035 as follows:

 

Year Expire			Amount
2017			$	18,683
2018				34,794
2019				74,618
2020				23,210
2021 and after				2,212,624
Total				2,363,929

 

The value of these carryforwards depends on the Company’s ability to general taxable income. Because tax laws limit the time during which the net operating loss carryforwards may be applied against future taxes, if we fail to general taxable income prior to the expiration dates we may not be able to fully utilize the net operating loss carryforwards to reduce future income taxes. The Company have had cumulative losses and there is no assurance of future taxable income, therefore, valuation allowance have been recorded to fully offset the deferred tax asset at December 31, 2015 and 2014.

 

The following are the major tax jurisdictions in which the Company operates and the earliest tax year that is subject to examination:

 

Jurisdiction		Tax Year
United States		2012
Mexico		2015

NOTE 14 – RESTATEMENT

 

Subsequent to the issuance of the Company’s combined financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 on May 13, 2016, the Company realized that the revenue from separately priced extended warranties was incorrectly accounted for when the projectors were delivered. Revenues from such transactions recorded less than 5% of the Company’s combined revenues but had a material impact on the balances of liabilities and the accumulated deficit. The Company increased its liabilities and accumulated deficit at December 31, 2015 and 2014 by $880,149 and $829,710, respectively. The Company also adjusted revenues for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 by $50,439 and $282,565, respectively.

Notes to Financial Statements

 

NOTE 1 – NATURE OF OPERATIONS, BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

THE COMPANY

 

Mimio LLC (the “Company”, “Mimio”) was formed in Delaware on July 1, 2013 upon sale of the assets of the Mimio business unit by Newell Rubbermaid to Skyview Capital, a private equity firm based in Los Angeles California. Mimio maintains its headquarters in Boston, Massachusetts. Mimio originated as Virtual Ink, Corporation in 1997, and its assets sold to Newell Rubbermaid in 2006. Mimio designs, develops and sells interactive classroom technology products, much of which the Company owns design and performance patents, and are manufactured by a contract manufacturer (CM) in Shenzhen, China. The Company also purchases and sells other non-proprietary products such as classroom projectors and flat panel displays on an OEM basis from manufacturers in China and Taiwan. The primary market for the Company’s products is classrooms K-12. All of the products are integrated in the classroom through the Company’s award winning operating software “Mimio Studio.” The Company’s products are distributed globally through a network of value added resellers (VAR’s) in the U.S. and Canada, and through master distributors in the rest of the world. Currently, sales to the VAR network in the U.S. and Canada account for 81% of total sales.

 

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

The financial statements and accompanying notes are prepared in accordance generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America.

 

ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS

 

Preparing financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses. Examples include allowance for doubtful accounts, allowance for obsolete inventories, and product warranties. Actual results and outcomes may differ from management’s estimates and assumptions.

 

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

 

The Company considers all highly liquid short-term investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. These investments are carried at cost, which approximates fair value. The Company maintains cash balances at financial institutions which, from time to time, may exceed Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insured limits of $250,000 for banks located in the US. The Company has not experienced any losses with regard to its bank accounts and believes it is not exposed to any rick of loss on its cash bank accounts.

 

ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS

 

The allowance for doubtful accounts reflects our best estimate of probable losses inherent in the accounts receivable balance. The Company determines the allowance based on known troubled accounts, historical experience, and other currently available evidence. As of December 31, 2015, there were allowances for doubtful accounts of $81,243.

 

INVENTORIES

 

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Virtually all of the inventories are finished goods and its cost is determined using the FIFO cost method. Cost includes direct (FOB) cost from the CM or OEM, plus material overhead related to the purchase, inbound freight and import duty costs.

 

The Company continuously reviews its inventory levels to identify excess and obsolete (E&O) items and will reserve as necessary. The reserve mostly includes obsolete items that while still available for sale, have been replaced by newer products. Obsolete items are 100% reserved. As of December 31, 2015 there were allowances for excess and obsolescence of $430,318.

 

 

PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT

 

Property, plant and equipment is stated at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated life of the asset. Repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred. All of the Company’s fixed assets are manufacturing tools and fixtures located at the CM factory in China and have been fully depreciated.

 

REVENUE RECOGNITION

 

Revenue is comprised of product revenue, net of sales returns, co-operative advertising credits, early payment discounts, and special incentive payments (SPIFF) paid to VAR sales reps. Revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the sales price is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured. Evidence of an arrangement consists of a purchase order from its distributors or resellers.

 

The Company’s standard terms and conditions of sale do not allow for product returns and it generally does not allow product returns other than under warranty. However, the Company on a case by case basis will grant exceptions, mostly “buyer’s remorse” where the VAR’s end user customer either did not understand what they were ordering, or determined that the product did not meet their needs. As a result, and considering that actual returns approximate 0.1% of invoiced sales, the Company does not record a return reserve.

 

The Company generally provides 24 to 60 months warranty coverage on all of its products. Standard warranty period is 24 months, which can be extended to 60 months upon the end user “registering” their device on-line. The Company’s warranty provides for repair or replacement of the associated products during the warranty period. The Company does not record warranty cost upon sale, and instead conducts a quarterly review of the warranty liability reserve, and based on historical cost-to-trailing- revenue history, will adjust up or down the warranty liability, with the offset to this adjustment posted to cost of revenue.

 

SHIPPING AND HANDLING

 

The Company records shipping and handling expense, and shipping and handling costs billed to customers in Cost of Revenues.

 

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT EXPENSES

 

Research and development costs are expensed as incurred and consists primarily of personnel related costs, prototype and sample costs, design costs, and global product certifications mostly for wireless certifications.

 

INCOME TAXES

 

The Company is taxed as a limited liability company under the Internal Revenue Code. The income of the Company flows through to the members to be taxed at the member level rather than the corporate level. Accordingly, the Company has no tax liability.

 

Management has evaluated the Company’s tax positions under the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued guidance on accounting for uncertainty in income taxes and concluded that the Company had taken no uncertain tax positions that require adjustment to the financial statements to comply with the provisions of this guidance.

 

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 

The Company has evaluated all transactions from December 31, 2015 through the financial statement issuance date for subsequent event disclosure consideration.

 

NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

 

There were various accounting standards and interpretations issued recently, none of which are expected to a have a material impact on our financial position, operations or cash flows.

 

 

NOTE 2 – REORGANIZATION

 

On November 4, 2015 100% of the membership interest of the Company was acquired by VC2 Partners, LLC and Mim Holdings. The aggregate purchase price for the membership interest is through a 6% promissory note in the amount of $3,425,000 secured by the assets of the Company. The promissory note was due in full at July 3, 2016 and interest is accrued on an annual basis and paid quarterly in arrears 90 days after the date of the note.

 

Effective April 1, 2016, 100% of the Company’s membership interest was acquired by Boxlight Corporation from Mim Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation, in exchange for a 4% $2,000,000 unsecured promissory note due March 31, 2019, and the assumption of an original 6% $3,425,000 senior secured note of Mim Holdings due July 3, 2016 that was payable to Skyview Capital, LLC (“the Skyview Note”).

 

Subsequently on July 5, 2016 the Skyview Note was amended and restated as a $3,960,508 principal amount installment note with $2,500,000 due September 29, 2016 and the remaining balance of $1,460,508 plus accrued interest due on December 15, 2016. On September 29, 2016 the payment of $2,500,000 was made.

 

NOTE 3 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

Operating Lease Commitments

 

The Company leases office space under a non-cancelable lease agreement. The lease provides that the Company pay only a monthly rental and is not responsible for taxes, insurance or maintenance expenses related to the property. A previous lease agreement for office space at over twice the square footage than the current space expired in 2015.

Mimio LLC

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

 

NOTE 1 – NATURE OF OPERATIONS, BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

THE COMPANY

 

Mimio LLC (the “Company”, “Mimio”) was formed in Delaware on July 1, 2013 upon sale of the assets of the Mimio business unit by Newell Rubbermaid to Skyview Capital, a private equity firm based in Los Angeles California. Mimio maintains its headquarters in Boston, Massachusetts. Mimio originated as Virtual Ink, Corporation in 1997, and its assets sold to Newell Rubbermaid in 2006. Mimio designs, develops and sells interactive classroom technology products, much of which the Company owns design and performance patents, and are manufactured by a contract manufacturer (CM) in Shenzhen, China. The Company also purchases and sells other non-proprietary products such as classroom projectors and flat panel displays on an OEM basis from manufacturers in China and Taiwan. The primary market for the Company’s products is classrooms K-12. All of the products are integrated in the classroom through the Company’s award winning operating software “Mimio Studio.” The Company’s products are distributed globally through a network of value added resellers (VAR’s) in the U.S. and Canada, and through master distributors in the rest of the world. Currently, sales to the VAR network in the U.S. and Canada account for 81% of total sales.

 

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

The financial statements and accompanying notes are prepared in accordance generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America.

 

ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS

 

Preparing financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses. Examples include allowance for doubtful accounts, allowance for obsolete inventories, and product warranties. Actual results and outcomes may differ from management’s estimates and assumptions.

 

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

 

The Company considers all highly liquid short-term investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. These investments are carried at cost, which approximates fair value. The Company maintains cash balances at financial institutions which, from time to time, may exceed Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insured limits of $250,000 for banks located in the US. The Company has not experienced any losses with regard to its bank accounts and believes it is not exposed to any rick of loss on its cash bank accounts.

 

ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS

 

The allowance for doubtful accounts reflects our best estimate of probable losses inherent in the accounts receivable balance. The Company determines the allowance based on known troubled accounts, historical experience, and other currently available evidence. As of December 31, 2015 and 2014, there were allowances for doubtful accounts of $81,243 and $1,044,819, respectively.

 

INVENTORIES

 

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Virtually all of the inventories are finished goods and its cost is determined using the FIFO cost method. Cost includes direct (FOB) cost from the CM or OEM, plus material overhead related to the purchase, inbound freight and import duty costs.

 

The Company continuously reviews its inventory levels to identify excess and obsolete (E&O) items and will reserve as necessary. The reserve mostly includes obsolete items that while still available for sale, have been replaced by newer products. Obsolete items are 100% reserved. As of December 31, 2015 and 2014, there were allowances for excess and obsolescence of $430,318 for each period.

 

PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT

 

Property, plant and equipment is stated at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated life of the asset. Repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred. All of the Company’s fixed assets are manufacturing tools and fixtures located at the CM factory in China and have been fully depreciated.

 

 

REVENUE RECOGNITION

 

Revenue is comprised of product revenue, net of sales returns, co-operative advertising credits, early payment discounts, and special incentive payments (SPIFF) paid to VAR sales reps. Revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the sales price is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured. Evidence of an arrangements consists of a purchase order from its distributors or resellers.

 

The Company’s standard terms and conditions of sale do not allow for product returns and it generally does not allow product returns other than under warranty. However, the Company on a case by case basis will grant exceptions, mostly “buyer’s remorse” where the VAR’s end user customer either did not understand what they were ordering, or determined that the product did not meet their needs. As a result, and considering that actual returns approximate 0.1% of invoiced sales, the Company does not record a return reserve.

 

The Company generally provides 24 to 60 months warranty coverage on all of its products. Standard warranty period is 24 months, which can be extended to 60 months upon the end user “registering” their device on-line. The Company’s warranty provides for repair or replacement of the associated products during the warranty period. The Company does not record warranty cost upon sale, and instead conducts a quarterly review of the warranty liability reserve, and based on historical cost-to-trailing- revenue history, will adjust up or down the warranty liability, with the offset to this adjustment posted to cost of revenue.

 

SHIPPING AND HANDLING

 

The Company records shipping and handling expense, and shipping and handling costs billed to customers in Cost of Revenues.

 

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT EXPENSES

 

Research and development costs are expensed as incurred and consists primarily of personnel related costs, prototype and sample costs, design costs, and global product certifications mostly for wireless certifications.

 

INCOME TAXES

 

The Company is taxed as a limited liability company under the Internal Revenue Code. The income of the Company flows through to the members to be taxed at the member level rather than the corporate level. Accordingly, the Company has no tax liability.

 

Management has evaluated the Company’s tax positions under the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued guidance on accounting for uncertainty in income taxes and concluded that the Company had taken no uncertain tax positions that require adjustment to the financial statements to comply with the provisions of this guidance.

 

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 

The Company has evaluated all transactions from December 31, 2015 through the financial statement issuance date for subsequent event disclosure consideration.

 

NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

 

There were various accounting standards and interpretations issued recently, none of which are expected to a have a material impact on our financial position, operations or cash flows.

 

NOTE 2 – REORGANIZATION

 

On November 4, 2015 100% of the membership interest of the Company was acquired by VC2 Partners, LLC and Mim Holdings. The aggregate purchase price for the membership interest is through a 6% promissory note in the amount of $3,425,000 secured by the assets of the Company. The promissory note was due in full at July 3, 2016 and interest is accrued on an annual basis and paid quarterly in arrears 90 days after the date of the note.

NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

THE COMPANY

 

Boxlight Corporation (formerly known as Logical Choice Corporation) (the “Company” or “Boxlight Parent”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on September 18, 2014 with its headquarters in Atlanta, Georgia for the purpose of becoming a technology company that sells interactive educational products. The Company is an affiliate of Vert Capital Corp (“Vert Capital”).

 

Mimio LLC (“Mimio”) was formed in Delaware on July 1, 2013 and maintains its headquarter in Boston, Massachusetts. Mimio designs, develops and sells interactive classroom technology products, much of which Mimio owns the design and performance patents of, and which are manufactured by a contract manufacturer (“CM”) in Shenzhen, China. Mimio also purchases and sells other non-proprietary products such as classroom projectors and flat panel displays on an original equipment manufacturer (“OEM”) basis from manufacturers in China and Taiwan. The primary market for Mimio’s products is classrooms K-12. All of the products are integrated in the classroom through Mimio’s award winning operating software “Mimio Studio.” Mimio’s products are distributed globally through a network of value added resellers (“VARs”) in the U.S. and Canada, and through master distributors in the rest of the world. On November 4, 2015, Mimio was acquired by Mim Holdings, Inc. (“Mim Holdings”), a Delaware corporation wholly-owned by Marlborough Trust. Marlborough trust is established for the benefit of members of the families of affiliates of VC2 Partners, LLC (“VC2 Partners”). VC2 Partners and Mim Holdings are affiliates of Vert Capital. On April 1, 2016, Boxlight Parent acquired 100% of the membership interest in Mimio from Mim Holdings.

 

Genesis Collaboration, LLC (“Genesis”) was formed as a limited liability company in September 2011 in Atlanta, Georgia, to provide solutions that enhance interactive learning in the business, government, and education markets. Genesis is a technology provider that facilitates effective communication in schools, training facilities and workplaces around the world. Genesis offers a wide range of integrated products that change the way individuals collaborate and learn. In the classroom, Genesis offers a wide range of integrated interactive solutions that transform the way teachers deliver lessons and assess progress. Genesis’ products include interactive whiteboard systems, interactive tables, interactive and standard projectors, audio systems, data loggers, software, assessment and student response systems. On October 31, 2013, Vert Capital’s subsidiary acquired all of the outstanding membership interests of Genesis. On May 12, 2016, the Company acquired Genesis from Vert Capital.

 

BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND PRINCIPLE OF CONSOLIDATION

 

Acquisitions from Vert Capital and Mim Holdings are considered common control transactions. When businesses are acquired from Vert Capital and Mim Holdings that will be consolidated by us, they are accounted for as if the transfer had occurred at the beginning of the period of transfer, with prior periods retrospectively adjusted to furnish comparative information. The acquisitions of Mimio and Genesis were transfers of businesses between entities under common control. Accordingly, the accompanying financial statements and related notes have been retrospectively adjusted to include the historical results and financial position of the acquired entities prior to the effective dates of such acquisitions. The information prior to the Company’s incorporation on September 18, 2014 represents the historical results of Genesis as Genesis was first controlled by Vert Capital and determined to be our predecessor entity for accounting purpose. See Note 3— Acquisitions, for additional information.

 

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Boxlight Corporation, Mimio and Genesis. Transactions and balances among Boxlight Corporation, Mimio and Genesis have been eliminated. The assets and liabilities of Mimio and Genesis in these financial statements have been reflected on a historical cost basis because the transfers of Mimio and Genesis to the Company are considered common control transactions. The accompanying notes are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). Certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted from these statements pursuant to such rules and regulations and, accordingly, they do not include all the information and notes necessary for comprehensive financial statements and should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2015.

 

 

In the opinion of the management of the Company, all adjustments, which are of a normal recurring nature necessary for a fair statement of the results for the six-month period have been made. Results for the interim period presented is not necessarily indicative of the results that might be expected for the entire fiscal year.

 

ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of certain assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual amounts could differ from those estimates.

 

Common control transactions

 

Business acquired from Vert Capital are accounted for as common control transactions whereby the net assets (liabilities) acquired (assumed) are combined with the Company’s at their carrying value. Any difference between carrying value and recognized consideration is treated as a capital transaction. Cash received from the acquired entities is presented as an investing activity in our consolidated statement of cash flows.

 

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

 

The Company considers all highly liquid short-term investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. These investments are carried at cost, which approximates fair value. The Company maintains cash balances at financial institutions which, from time to time, may exceed Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insured limits of $250,000 for banks located in the U.S. The Company has not experienced any losses with regard to its bank accounts and believes it is not exposed to any rick of loss on its cash bank accounts.

 

ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE AND ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS

 

Accounts receivable are stated at historical carrying amounts net of write-offs and allowance for doubtful accounts. Allowance for doubtful accounts represents management’s estimate of the amount that ultimately will be realized in cash. The Company reviews the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts on an ongoing basis, using historical payment trends, the age of receivables and knowledge of the individual customers. When the analysis indicates, management increases or decreases the allowance accordingly. However, if the financial condition of our customers were to deteriorate, additional allowances might be required. As of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, we had an allowance for doubtful accounts of $50,996 and $81,243, respectively.

 

INVENTORIES

 

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value and included spare parts and finished goods. Inventories are primarily determined using specific identification method and the FIFO cost method. Cost includes direct cost from the CM or OEM, plus material overhead related to the purchase, inbound freight and import duty costs.

 

The Company continuously reviews its inventory levels to identify slow-moving merchandise and markdowns necessary to clear slow-moving merchandise, which reduces the cost of inventories to its estimated net realizable value. Consideration is given to a number of quantitative and qualitative factors, including current pricing levels and the anticipated need for subsequent markdowns, aging of inventories, historical sales trends, and the impact of market trends and economic conditions. Estimates of markdown requirements may differ from actual results due to changes in quantity, quality and mix of products in inventory, as well as changes in consumer preferences, market and economic conditions. As of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, we had a reserve for inventories of $118,825 and $430,318, respectively.

 

 

PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

 

Property and equipment is stated at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated life of the asset. Repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred. All of the Company’s fixed assets are manufacturing tools and fixtures located at the CM factory in China and have been fully depreciated.

 

Intangible assets

 

Intangible assets are amortized using the straight-line method over their estimated period of benefit. We evaluate the recoverability of intangible assets periodically and take into account events or circumstances that warrant revised estimates of useful lives or that indicate that impairment exists. No material impairments of intangible assets have been identified during any of the periods presented. Intangible assets and goodwill are tested for impairment on an annual basis, and between annual tests if indicators of potential impairment exist, using a fair-value-based approach. Goodwill is not amortized and is not deductible for tax purposes.

 

DEBT DISCOUNT

 

Debt discount is amortized over the term of the debt using effective interest rate method.

 

REVENUE RECOGNITION

 

Revenue is comprised of product sales and service revenue, net of sales returns, co-operative advertising credits, early payment discounts, and special incentive payments (SPIFF) paid to VAR sales reps. The Company recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the sales price is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured.

 

Revenue from product sales is derived from the sale of projectors, interactive panels and related accessories. Evidence of an arrangement consists of an order from its distributors, resellers or end users. The Company considers delivery to have occurred once title and risk of loss has been transferred.

 

Service revenue is comprised of product installation services and training services. These service revenues are normally entered into at the time products are sold. Service prices are established depending on product equipment sold and include a cost value for the estimated services to be performed based on historical experience. The Company outsources installation and training services to third parties and recognizes revenue upon completion of the services.

 

The Company evaluates the criteria outlined in FASB ASC Subtopic 605-45, Principal Agent Considerations, in determining whether it is appropriate to record the gross amount of product sales and related costs or the net amount earned as revenue. Generally, when the Company is primarily obligated in a transaction, is subject to inventory risk, has latitude in establishing prices and selecting suppliers, or has several but not all of these indicators, revenue is recorded at the gross amount. If the Company is not primarily obligated and amounts earned are determined using a fixed percentage, a fixed-payment schedule, or a combination of the two, the Company generally records the net amounts as revenue earned.

 

The Company’s standard terms and conditions of sale do not allow for product returns and it generally does not allow product returns other than under warranty. However, the Company, on a case by case basis, will grant exceptions, mostly “buyer’s remorse” where the VAR’s end user customer either did not understand what they were ordering, or determined that the product did not meet their needs. As a result, and considering that actual returns historically were immaterial, the Company does not record a return reserve.

 

While the Company uses resellers and distributors to sell its products, the Company’s sale agreements do not contain any special pricing incentives, right of return or other post shipment obligations.

 

The Company generally provides 24 to 60 months warranty coverage on all of Mimio’s products. Standard warranty period is 24 months, which can be extended to 60 months upon the end user “registering” their device on-line. The Company’s warranty provides for repair or replacement of the associated products during the warranty period. The Company does not record warranty cost upon sale, and instead conducts a quarterly review of the warranty liability reserve, and based on historical cost-to-trailing- revenue history, will adjust up or down the warranty liability, with the offset to this adjustment posted to cost of revenue.

 

 

SHIPPING AND HANDLING

 

The Company records shipping and handling expense, and shipping and handling costs billed to customers in cost of revenues.

 

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT EXPENSES

 

Research and development costs are expensed as incurred and consists primarily of personnel related costs, prototype and sample costs, design costs, and global product certifications mostly for wireless certifications.

 

INCOME TAXES

 

An asset and liability approach is used for financial accounting and reporting for income taxes. Deferred income taxes arise from temporary differences between income tax and financial reporting and principally relate to recognition of revenue and expenses in different periods for financial and tax accounting purposes and are measured using currently enacted tax rates and laws. In addition, a deferred tax asset can be generated by net operating loss carryforwards. If it is more likely than not that some portion or all of a deferred tax asset will not be realized, a valuation allowance is recognized.

 

SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION

 

The Company estimates the fair value of each share-based compensation award at the grant date by using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The fair value determined represents the cost for the award and is recognized over the vesting period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award. As share-based compensation expense is recognized based on awards ultimately expected to vest. Excess tax benefits, if any, are recognized as an addition to paid-in capital.

 

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 

The Company has evaluated all transactions through the financial statement issuance date for subsequent event disclosure consideration.

 

NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

 

In May 2014, a pronouncement was issued that creates common revenue recognition guidance for U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards. The new guidance supersedes most preexisting revenue recognition guidance. The core principle of the guidance is 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. The new standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within that reporting period, with an option to adopt the standard one year earlier. The new standard is to be applied either retrospectively to each period presented or as a cumulative-effect adjustment as of the date of adoption. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the new pronouncement on its financial statements.

 

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03, “Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs.” ASU 2015-03 requires that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. The ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim periods within those annual periods, early adoption is permitted. The Company adopted this guidance since its December 31, 2015 financial statements. There was no significant impact in the financial results.

 

 

In February 2016, a pronouncement was issued that creates new accounting and reporting guidelines for leasing arrangements. The new guidance requires organizations that lease assets to recognize assets and liabilities on the balance sheet related to the rights and obligations created by those leases, regardless of whether they are classified as finance or operating leases. Consistent with current guidance, the recognition, measurement, and presentation of expenses and cash flows arising from a lease primarily will depend on its classification as a finance or operating lease. The guidance also requires new disclosures to help financial statement users better understand the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. The new standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within that reporting period, with early application permitted. The new standard is to be applied using a modified retrospective approach. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the new pronouncement on its financial statements.

 

There were various other accounting standards and interpretations issued recently, none of which are expected to a have a material impact on our financial position, operations or cash flows.

 

NOTE 2 – GOING CONCERN

 

These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes the Company will continue to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon the continued financial support from its shareholders, the ability of the Company to obtain necessary equity financing to continue operations, and the attainment of profitable operations. As of June 30, 2016, the Company had accumulated deficit of $3,667,164 and a working capital deficit of $4,304,477. These factors raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not include any adjustments to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. The Company plans to obtain fund for operations from its initial public offering and support from its majority shareholder.

 

NOTE 3 – ACQUISITIONS

 

Acquisition of Mimio

 

Effective April 1, 2016, pursuant to a membership interest purchase agreement, the Company acquired 100% of the membership interest in Mimio from Mim Holdings. As consideration, the Company issued a $2,000,000 unsecured convertible promissory note (the “Marlborough Note”) to Marlborough Trust. See Note 9.

 

Additionally, the Company assumed from Mim Holdings a $3,425,000 senior secured note that is payable to Skyview Capital, LLC, (“Skyview”), the former equity owner of Mimio (the “Skyview Note”) and interest accrued on the note. The Skyview Note was issued by Mim Holdings to Skyview on November 4, 2015 as payment for the acquisition of 100% of the membership equity of Mimio. See Note 6.

 

The Company’s financial statements included Mimio’s assets and liabilities at the historical cost of Mim Holdings. Mimio was acquired by Mim Holdings on November 4, 2015. Mim Holdings accounts for acquired businesses using the acquisition method of accounting, which requires, among other things, that most assets acquired and liabilities assumed be recognized at their estimated fair values as of the acquisition date. Transaction costs are expensed as incurred. Any excess of the consideration transferred over the assigned values of the net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. The estimated fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, were determined based on management’s best estimates. Preliminary estimated fair values are subject to measurement period adjustments which represent updates made to the preliminary purchase price allocation based on revisions to valuation estimates in the interim period subsequent to the acquisition and initial accounting date up until the purchase price allocation is finalized which cannot be any later than one year from the acquisition date. Mim Holdings is in the process of completing its assessment of the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Thus the preliminary measurement of current assets, property and equipment, intangibles, and liabilities assumed are subject to change, which could be significant. As of June 30, 2016, the Company had $224,653 intangibles related to the acquisition of Mimio. The Company will finalize the amounts recognized as the Company obtains the information necessary from Mim Holdings. Mim Holdings expects to finalize these amounts as soon as possible but no later than one year from the acquisition date. The Company has not recorded any amortization expense related to the intangible assets acquired from the acquisition of Mimio for the six months ended June 30, 2016 as the Company is still in the process of obtaining the fair value information of the intangible assets acquired.

 

 

Acquisition of Genesis

 

On May 12, 2016, Vert Capital contributed 100% of the membership interests in Genesis to the Company. In connection with the Company’s acquisition of Genesis, the former members of Genesis received 1,000,000 shares of the Company’s Series B Preferred Stock which, upon consummation of the Company’s initial public offering, will automatically convert into such number of shares that represents 4.0% of the Company’s fully diluted common stock as defined in the agreement. Upon completion of the Company’s initial public offering, an aggregate of 250,000 shares of the Company’s non-voting convertible Series A preferred stock will be issued to Vert Capital. Such 250,000 shares of the Company’s non-voting convertible Series A preferred stock will automatically convert into 390,252 shares of our Class A common stock on a date which shall be one year from the date of the Company’s initial public offering.

 

Common Control Transactions

 

The acquisitions of Mimio and Genesis were considered as transfers of businesses between entities under common control; and therefore, the assets acquired and liabilities assumed were transferred at historical cost of the ultimate parent, Vert Capital. Because the acquisitions were common control transactions in which the Company acquired businesses, the Company’s historical financial statements have been retrospectively adjusted to reflect the results of operations, financial position, and cash flows of Mimio and Genesis as if the Company owned Mimio and Genesis for all periods presented from the date Mimio, Genesis and the Company were under common control.

 

NOTE 4 – INVENTORIES

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Boxlight Corporation as of December 31, 2015 and 2014 and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity (deficit), and cash flows for each the years then ended. Boxlight Corporation’s management is responsible for these financial statements. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated balance sheets of Boxlight Corporation as of December 31, 2015 and 2014 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that Boxlight Corporation will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, Boxlight Corporation has suffered recurring losses from operations and has a net capital deficit that raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.

The contribution of Boxlight Corporation and Genesis Collaboration, LLC to total assets as of December 31, 2015, and for revenues and net loss for the year then ended represented 9%, 45% and 81% of the respective restated totals. The contribution of Boxlight Corporation and Genesis Collaboration, LLC to total assets as of December 31, 2014, and revenues and net loss and for the year then ended represented 100% of the respective restated totals. Separate financial statements of Mimio LLC included in the restated consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2015 and in the related statement of operations and cash flows for the two months ended December 31, 2015 were audited and reported on separately by other auditors. We audited the combination of the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2015 and 2014 and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity (deficit) and cash flows for each of the years then ended, after restatement for the pooling of interests; in our opinion, such consolidated statements have been properly combined on the basis described in Note 3 of notes to consolidated financial statements.

Boxlight Corporation

(Formerly known as Logical Choice Corporation)

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

 

NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

THE COMPANY

 

Boxlight Corporation (formerly known as Logical Choice Corporation) (the “Company” or “Boxlight Parent”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on September 18, 2014 with its headquarters in Atlanta, Georgia for the purpose of becoming a technology company that sells interactive educational products.

 

Mimio LLC (“Mimio”) was formed in Delaware on July 1, 2013 and maintains its headquarter in Boston, Massachusetts. Mimio designs, develops and sells interactive classroom technology products, much of which Mimio owns the design and performance patents of, and which are manufactured by a contract manufacturer (“CM”) in Shenzhen, China. Mimio also purchases and sells other non-proprietary products such as classroom projectors and flat panel displays on an original equipment manufacturer (“OEM”) basis from manufacturers in China and Taiwan. The primary market for Mimio’s products is classrooms K-12. All of the products are integrated in the classroom through Mimio’s award winning operating software “Mimio Studio.” Mimio’s products are distributed globally through a network of value added resellers (“VARs”) in the U.S. and Canada, and through master distributors in the rest of the world. On November 4, 2015, Mimio was acquired by Mim Holdings, Inc. (“Mim Holdings”), a Delaware corporation wholly-owned by Marlborough Trust. Marlborough trust is established for the benefit of members of the families of affiliates of VC2 Partners, LLC (“VC2 Partners”). VC2 Partners and Mim Holdings are affiliates of Vert Capital Corp. (“Vert Capital”). On April 1, 2016, Boxlight Parent acquired 100% of the membership interest in Mimio from Mim Holdings.

 

Genesis Collaboration, LLC (“Genesis”) was formed as a limited liability company in September 2011 in Atlanta, Georgia, to provide solutions that enhance interactive learning in the business, government, and education markets. Genesis is a technology provider that facilitates effective communication in schools, training facilities and workplaces around the world. Genesis offers a wide range of integrated products that change the way individuals collaborate and learn. In the classroom, Genesis offers a wide range of integrated interactive solutions that transform the way teachers deliver lessons and assess progress. Genesis’ products include interactive whiteboard systems, interactive tables, interactive and standard projectors, audio systems, data loggers, software, assessment and student response systems. On October 31, 2013, Vert Capital’s subsidiary acquired all of the outstanding membership interests of Genesis. On May 12, 2016, the Company acquired Genesis from Vert Capital.

 

BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND PRINCIPLE OF CONSOLIDATION

 

Acquisitions from Vert Capital and Mim Holdings are considered common control transactions. When businesses are acquired from Vert Capital and Mim Holdings that will be consolidated by us, they are accounted for as if the transfer had occurred at the beginning of the period of transfer, with prior periods retrospectively adjusted to furnish comparative information. The acquisitions of Mimio and Genesis were transfers of businesses between entities under common control. Accordingly, the accompanying financial statements and related notes have been retrospectively adjusted to include the historical results and financial position of the acquired entities prior to the effective dates of such acquisitions. The information prior to the Company’s incorporation on September 18, 2014 represents the historical results of Genesis as Genesis was first controlled by Vert Capital and determined to be our predecessor entity for accounting purpose. See Note 3— Acquisitions, for additional information.

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Boxlight Corporation, Mimio and Genesis. Transactions and balances among Boxlight Corporation, Mimio and Genesis have been eliminated. The assets and liabilities of Mimio and Genesis in these financial statements have been reflected on a historical cost basis because the transfers of Mimio and Genesis to the Company are considered common control transactions. The accompanying notes are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).

 

ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of certain assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual amounts could differ from those estimates.

 

 

Common control transactions

 

Business acquired from Vert Capital are accounted for as common control transactions whereby the net assets (liabilities) acquired (assumed) are combined with the Company’s at their carrying value. Any difference between carrying value and recognized consideration is treated as a capital transaction. Cash received from the acquired entities is presented as an investing activity in our consolidated statement of cash flows.

 

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

 

The Company considers all highly liquid short-term investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. These investments are carried at cost, which approximates fair value. The Company maintains cash balances at financial institutions which, from time to time, may exceed Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insured limits of $250,000 for banks located in the U.S. The Company has not experienced any losses with regard to its bank accounts and believes it is not exposed to any rick of loss on its cash bank accounts.

 

ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE AND ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS

 

Accounts receivable are stated at historical carrying amounts net of write-offs and allowance for doubtful accounts. Allowance for doubtful accounts represents management’s estimate of the amount that ultimately will be realized in cash. The Company reviews the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts on an ongoing basis, using historical payment trends, the age of receivables and knowledge of the individual customers. When the analysis indicates, management increases or decreases the allowance accordingly. However, if the financial condition of our customers were to deteriorate, additional allowances might be required. As of December 31, 2015 and 2014, we had an allowance for doubtful accounts of $81,243 and $12,209, respectively.

 

INVENTORIES

 

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value and included spare parts and finished goods. Inventories are primarily determined using specific identification method and the FIFO cost method. Cost includes direct cost from the CM or OEM, plus material overhead related to the purchase, inbound freight and import duty costs.

 

The Company continuously reviews its inventory levels to identify slow-moving merchandise and markdowns necessary to clear slow-moving merchandise, which reduces the cost of inventories to its estimated net realizable value. Consideration is given to a number of quantitative and qualitative factors, including current pricing levels and the anticipated need for subsequent markdowns, aging of inventories, historical sales trends, and the impact of market trends and economic conditions. Estimates of markdown requirements may differ from actual results due to changes in quantity, quality and mix of products in inventory, as well as changes in consumer preferences, market and economic conditions. As of December 31, 2015 and 2014, we had a reserve for inventories of $430,318 and $0 respectively.

 

PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

 

Property and equipment is stated at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated life of the asset. Repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred. All of the Company’s fixed assets are manufacturing tools and fixtures located at the CM factory in China and have been fully depreciated.

 

Intangible assets

 

Intangible assets are amortized using the straight-line method over their estimated period of benefit. We evaluate the recoverability of intangible assets periodically and take into account events or circumstances that warrant revised estimates of useful lives or that indicate that impairment exists. No material impairments of intangible assets have been identified during any of the periods presented. Intangible assets and goodwill are tested for impairment on an annual basis, and between annual tests if indicators of potential impairment exist, using a fair-value-based approach. Goodwill is not amortized and is not deductible for tax purposes.

 

DEBT DISCOUNT

 

Debt discount is amortized over the term of the debt using effective interest rate method.

 

 

REVENUE RECOGNITION

 

Revenue is comprised of product sales and service revenue, net of sales returns, co-operative advertising credits, early payment discounts, and special incentive payments (SPIFF) paid to VAR sales reps. The Company recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the sales price is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured.

 

Revenue from product sales is derived from the sale of projectors, interactive panels and related accessories. Evidence of an arrangement consists of an order from its distributors, resellers or end users. The Company considers delivery to have occurred once title and risk of loss has been transferred.

 

Service revenue is comprised of product installation services and training services. These service revenues are normally entered into at the time products are sold. Service prices are established depending on product equipment sold and include a cost value for the estimated services to be performed based on historical experience. The Company outsources installation and training services to third parties and recognizes revenue upon completion of the services.

 

The Company evaluates the criteria outlined in FASB ASC Subtopic 605-45, Principal Agent Considerations, in determining whether it is appropriate to record the gross amount of product sales and related costs or the net amount earned as revenue. Generally, when the Company is primarily obligated in a transaction, is subject to inventory risk, has latitude in establishing prices and selecting suppliers, or has several but not all of these indicators, revenue is recorded at the gross amount. If the Company is not primarily obligated and amounts earned are determined using a fixed percentage, a fixed-payment schedule, or a combination of the two, the Company generally records the net amounts as revenue earned.

 

The Company’s standard terms and conditions of sale do not allow for product returns and it generally does not allow product returns other than under warranty. However, the Company, on a case by case basis, will grant exceptions, mostly “buyer’s remorse” where the VAR’s end user customer either did not understand what they were ordering, or determined that the product did not meet their needs. As a result, and considering that actual returns historically were immaterial, the Company does not record a return reserve.

 

While the Company uses resellers and distributors to sell its products, the Company’s sale agreements do not contain any special pricing incentives, right of return or other post shipment obligations.

 

The Company generally provides 24 to 60 months warranty coverage on all of Mimio’s products. Standard warranty period is 24 months, which can be extended to 60 months upon the end user “registering” their device on-line. The Company’s warranty provides for repair or replacement of the associated products during the warranty period. The Company does not record warranty cost upon sale, and instead conducts a quarterly review of the warranty liability reserve, and based on historical cost-to-trailing- revenue history, will adjust up or down the warranty liability, with the offset to this adjustment posted to cost of revenue.

 

SHIPPING AND HANDLING

 

The Company records shipping and handling expense, and shipping and handling costs billed to customers in cost of revenues.

 

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT EXPENSES

 

Research and development costs are expensed as incurred and consists primarily of personnel related costs, prototype and sample costs, design costs, and global product certifications mostly for wireless certifications.

 

INCOME TAXES

 

An asset and liability approach is used for financial accounting and reporting for income taxes. Deferred income taxes arise from temporary differences between income tax and financial reporting and principally relate to recognition of revenue and expenses in different periods for financial and tax accounting purposes and are measured using currently enacted tax rates and laws. In addition, a deferred tax asset can be generated by net operating loss carryforwards. If it is more likely than not that some portion or all of a deferred tax asset will not be realized, a valuation allowance is recognized.

 

 

SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION

 

The Company estimates the fair value of each share-based compensation award at the grant date by using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The fair value determined represents the cost for the award and is recognized over the vesting period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award. As share-based compensation expense is recognized based on awards ultimately expected to vest. Excess tax benefits, if any, are recognized as an addition to paid-in capital.

 

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 

The Company has evaluated all transactions through the financial statement issuance date for subsequent event disclosure consideration.

 

NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

 

In May 2014, a pronouncement was issued that creates common revenue recognition guidance for U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards. The new guidance supersedes most preexisting revenue recognition guidance. The core principle of the guidance is 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. The new standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within that reporting period, with an option to adopt the standard one year earlier. The new standard is to be applied either retrospectively to each period presented or as a cumulative-effect adjustment as of the date of adoption. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the new pronouncement on its financial statements.

 

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03, “Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs.” ASU 2015-03 requires that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. The ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim periods within those annual periods, early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effects of ASU 2015-03 on the financial statements.

 

In February 2016, a pronouncement was issued that creates new accounting and reporting guidelines for leasing arrangements. The new guidance requires organizations that lease assets to recognize assets and liabilities on the balance sheet related to the rights and obligations created by those leases, regardless of whether they are classified as finance or operating leases. Consistent with current guidance, the recognition, measurement, and presentation of expenses and cash flows arising from a lease primarily will depend on its classification as a finance or operating lease. The guidance also requires new disclosures to help financial statement users better understand the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. The new standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within that reporting period, with early application permitted. The new standard is to be applied using a modified retrospective approach. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the new pronouncement on its financial statements.

 

There were various other accounting standards and interpretations issued recently, none of which are expected to a have a material impact on our financial position, operations or cash flows.

 

NOTE 2 – GOING CONCERN

 

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes the Company will continue to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon the continued financial support from its shareholders, the ability of the Company to obtain necessary equity financing to continue operations, and the attainment of profitable operations. As of December 31, 2015, the Company had accumulated deficit of $3,426,839 and a working capital deficit of $193,853. These factors raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not include any adjustments to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. The Company plans to obtain fund for operations from its initial public offering and support from its majority shareholder.

 

 

NOTE 3 – ACQUISITIONS

 

Acquisition of Mimio

 

Effective April 1, 2016, pursuant to a membership interest purchase agreement, the Company acquired 100% of the membership interest in Mimio from Mim Holdings. As consideration, the Company issued a $2,000,000 unsecured convertible promissory note (the “Marlborough Note”) to Marlborough Trust. See Note 15.

 

Additionally, the Company assumed from Mim Holdings a $3,425,000 senior secured note that is payable to Skyview Capital, LLC, (“Skyview”), the former equity owner of Mimio (the “Skyview Note”) and interest accrued on the note. The Skyview Note was issued by Mim Holdings to Skyview on November 4, 2015 as payment for the acquisition of 100% of the membership equity of Mimio. See Note 15.

 

The Company’s financial statements included Mimio’s assets and liabilities at the historical cost of Mim Holdings. Mimio was acquired by Mim Holdings on November 4, 2015. Mim Holdings accounts for acquired businesses using the acquisition method of accounting, which requires, among other things, that most assets acquired and liabilities assumed be recognized at their estimated fair values as of the acquisition date. Transaction costs are expensed as incurred. Any excess of the consideration transferred over the assigned values of the net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. The estimated fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, were determined based on management’s best estimates. Preliminary estimated fair values are subject to measurement period adjustments which represent updates made to the preliminary purchase price allocation based on revisions to valuation estimates in the interim period subsequent to the acquisition and initial accounting date up until the purchase price allocation is finalized which cannot be any later than one year from the acquisition date. Mim Holdings is in the process of completing its assessment of the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Thus the preliminary measurement of current assets, property and equipment, intangibles, and liabilities assumed are subject to change, which could be significant. As of June 30, 2016, the Company had $224,653 intangibles related to the acquisition of Mimio. The Company will finalize the amounts recognized as the Company obtains the information necessary from Mim Holdings. Mim Holdings expects to finalize these amounts as soon as possible but no later than one year from the acquisition date. The Company has not recorded any amortization expense related to the intangible assets acquired from the acquisition of Mimio for the period from November 4, 2015 to December 31, 2015 as the Company is still in the process of obtaining the fair value information of the intangible assets acquired.

 

Acquisition of Genesis

 

On May 12, 2016, Vert Capital contributed 100% of the membership interests in Genesis to the Company. In connection with the Company’s acquisition of Genesis, the former members of Genesis received 1,000,000 shares of the Company’s Series B Preferred Stock which, upon consummation of the Company’s initial public offering, will automatically convert into such number of shares that represents 4.0% of the Company’s fully diluted common stock as defined in the agreement. Upon completion of the Company’s initial public offering, an aggregate of 250,000 shares of the Company’s non-voting convertible Series A preferred stock will be issued to Vert Capital. Such 250,000 shares of the Company’s non-voting convertible Series A preferred stock will automatically convert into 390,252 shares of our Class A common stock on a date which shall be one year from the date of the Company’s initial public offering.

 

Common Control Transactions

 

The acquisitions of Mimio and Genesis were considered as transfers of businesses between entities under common control; and therefore, the assets acquired and liabilities assumed were transferred at historical cost of the ultimate parent, Vert Capital. Because the acquisitions were common control transactions in which the Company acquired businesses, the Company’s historical financial statements have been retrospectively adjusted to reflect the results of operations, financial position, and cash flows of Mimio and Genesis as if the Company owned Mimio and Genesis for all periods presented from the date Mimio, Genesis and the Company were under common control.

(“Guang Feng”), the former shareholder of the Boxlight Group.

 

Under the terms of the share purchase agreement, Boxlight Holdings, Inc., a newly formed Delaware subsidiary of Boxlight Parent acquired the equity of the Boxlight Group, and paid to EDI or its subsidiaries a purchase price valued at $5,400,000. The purchase price was paid by delivery of 270,000 shares of Boxlight Parent’s Series C Preferred Stock, that has a stated or liquidation value of $20.00 per share. Upon completion of this offering and subject to the listing of the Company’s Class A common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market or other securities exchange acceptable to EDI, the Series C Preferred Stock shall automatically, and without any further action on the part of the holders or Boxlight Parent, convert into shares of Class A common stock.

However, in view of the fact that such installment payments cannot be presently made by the Company under the subordination agreement between EDI and Crestmark Bank, the Company and EDI agreed that the net proceeds from IPO shall be applied, first to prepay the $1,460,508 principal balance due under the Skyview Note, and second to prepay the balance of the $1,500,000 installment obligation owed to EDI referred to above;
	(3)	$2,000,000 of the unpaid balance of the Company’s account payable is settled with a 4% non-negotiable convertible promissory note of Boxlight Parent payable to EDI, together with accrued interest, on March 31, 2019 (the “EDI Note”).

We are a Nevada corporation, and accordingly, we are subject to the corporate laws under the Nevada Revised Statutes. Article 9 of our Second Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, Article 8 of our by-laws and the Nevada Revised Business Statutes, contain indemnification provisions.

 

Our Second Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation provides that we will indemnify, in accordance with our by-laws and to the fullest extent permitted by the Nevada Revised Statutes or any other applicable laws, any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, including an action by or in the right of the corporation, by reason of such person acting as a director or officer of the corporation or any of its subsidiaries against any liability or expense actually and reasonably incurred by such person. We will be required to indemnify an officer or director in connection with an action, suit or proceedings initiated by such person only if (i) such action, suit or proceeding was authorized by the Board and (ii) the indemnification does no relate to any liability arising under Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act, as amended, or rules or regulations promulgated thereunder. Such indemnification is not exclusive of any other right to indemnification provided by law or otherwise. Indemnification shall include payment by us of expenses in defending an action or proceeding in advance of final disposition of such action or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by the person indemnified to repay such payment if it’s ultimately determined that such person is not entitled to indemnification.

 

 

ITEM 15. RECENT SALES OF UNREGISTERED SECURITIES

 

The Company has sold within the past three years, the following securities which were not registered under the Securities Act:

 

In connection with the formation of the Company, on September 18, 2014, a total of 2,675,585 shares of Class A common stock were issued to Vert Capital Corporation in reliance on Section 4(a)(2).

 

On November 7, 2014, we issued to Vert Capital Corp. and a consultant five year warrants to purchase 865,546 shares of our Class B common stock, at an exercise price payable by warrant holders equal to 110% of the initial per share offering price of the shares being sold under this prospectus. Among other provisions, such warrants contain “cashless” exercise rights and prohibit the holder from selling any of the shares issuable upon exercise of such warrants for a period of not less than six months from the date of issuance. Such warrants were issued pursuant to an exemption from registration under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act.

 

On January 16, 2015, we issued a convertible promissory note to Mark Elliott, in the amount of $50,000. Mr. Elliott may convert all but not less than all of the outstanding principal and interest due under this note into the Company’s Class A common stock, at the lesser of (i) $5.95 per share or (ii) a discount of 20% to the trading price if the Company’s Class A common stock is then publicly traded. The note was issued pursuant to an exemption from registration under section 4(2) of the Securities Act.

 

In connection with the acquisition of Mimio by Boxlight Parent, in May 2016 we assumed and guaranteed payment of a $3,960,508 senior secured note previously issued to Skyview Capital LLC, and issued a $2,000,000 note payable to Mim Holdings, Inc., the former stockholder of Mimio. The note is convertible by the holder into shares of Class A common stock of Boxlight Parent at a per share conversion price equal to 55% of the initial offering price per share of BOXL common stock offered to the public under this registration statement. Accordingly, and assuming a $7.00 per share initial offering price of the shares offered hereby, the $2,000,000 Marlborough Note would be convertible into an aggregate of 519,481 shares of our Class A common stock, based on a $3.85 per share conversion price. The note has full-ratchet anti-dilution protection and is pre-payable at the Company’s election during the first 180 days after issuance at premiums of 25% to 45%. Under various circumstances, including a change in control of the Company or a default on the note, at the holder’s option, the Company must prepay the note with a 50% premium. Mim Holdings is wholly-owned by the Marlborough Brothers Family Trust, a trust established for the benefit of members of the families of Adam Levin and Michael Pope. Mr. Pope is the President and a member of our board of directors. The notes were issued pursuant to an exemption from registration under section 4(2) of the Securities Act.

 

On September 29, 2016, we issued a $2,000,000 convertible promissory note to Everest Display Technologies, Inc. (“EDI”) in payment of a portion of accrued accounts payable owed to EDI. The Note is due March 31, 2019 and is convertible into the Company’s Class A common stock, at the lesser of (i) $5.60 per share or (ii) a discount of 20% to the initial offering price of the Class A common stock offered in this registration statement. The note was issued pursuant to an exemption from registration under section 4(2) of the Securities Act.

 

On September 29, 2016, K Laser International, Inc., an affiliate of EDI, purchased for $1,000,003, an aggregate of 178,572 shares of our Class A common stock. The per share purchase price is intended to be 80% of the initial offering price of the Class A common stock offered in this registration statement. If our initial per share offering price is less than $7.00, the 178,572 shares purchased will be increased proportionally. The shares were issued pursuant to an exemption from registration under section 4(2) of the Securities Act. In addition, Boxlight Parent also sold additional 19,000 shares of Class A common stock for $19,000 in September and October 2016.

 

In September and October, 2016, prior to the date of this prospectus, Boxlight Parent issued to 5 accredited investors (including Mark Elliott, our Chief Executive Officer) an aggregate of 215,830 additional shares of our Class A common stock at a price of $1.00 per share. The purpose of the issuances of these $1.00 Shares was intended to reduce debt and related obligations aggregating $215,830 that was owed to such individuals. In October 2016, Boxlight Parent issued additional 3,750 shares at $5.60 per share to settle accounts payable of $21,000.

 

Upon consummation of the offering contemplated by the prospectus included in this registration statement, the Company will issue shares of its capital stock, as follows:

 

	●	in exchange for 100% of the membership interest equity in Genesis, a total of 1,000,000 shares of the Company’s Series B preferred stock were issued to the four former members of Genesis Collaboration LLC, which shall automatically be converted into 390,252 shares of Class A common stock or such other number of shares as shall represent 4.0% of the Company’s fully-diluted common stocks;
	●	an aggregate of 250,000 shares of Series A Preferred stock were issued to Vert Capital Corp., to be held in trust for the benefit of the existing holders of Series A Preferred stock in LCC-Delaware; such 250,000 shares of Series A Preferred stock will automatically convert into 420,168 shares of class A Common stock on a date that is one year from the date of this prospectus.
	●	in exchange for 100% of the shares of the Boxlight Group, a total of 270,000 shares of our Series C preferred stock were issued to Everest Display, Inc. on July 18, 2016, which will automatically convert into 2,168,168  shares of our Class A common stock, including 160,605 bonus shares of our Class A common stock.
	●	BOXL has also agreed to grant employee stock options entitling the option holders to purchase upon full vesting, at the offering price of our Class A common stock, an additional 891,630 shares of our Class B common stock or such other number of shares as represents 10.0% of our fully diluted common stock. Class B common stock is identical to Class A common stock, except that Class B common stock carries no vote, other than as required by law.
	●	243,779 shares of our Class A common stock to be issued to our legal counsel, Loeb & Loeb LLP upon consummation of this offering as partial compensation for services rendered in relation to this initial public offering.

 

The above securities were issued pursuant to an exemption from registration under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act.

 

In addition, in exchange for a transfer to a subsidiary of Everest Display of the “Boxlight” and “Boxlight Display” trademarks, the Company agreed to issue an additional 41,806 shares of its common stock to the current owner of such trademarks. Such shares will be issued pursuant to an exemption from registration under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act.

ITEM 17. UNDERTAKINGS.

 

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to provide certificates in such denominations and registered in such names as required by the purchasers to permit prompt delivery to each purchaser.

 

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

 

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that:

 

(1) For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this registration statement as of the time it was declared effective.

 

(2) For the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
