TOWERSTREAM CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

Note 1. Organization and Nature of Business

 

Towerstream Corporation (referred to as “Towerstream” or the “Company”) was incorporated in Delaware in December 1999. During its first decade of operations, the Company's business activities were focused on delivering fixed wireless broadband services to commercial customers over a wireless network transmitting over both regulated and unregulated radio spectrum. The Company's fixed wireless service supports bandwidth on demand, wireless redundancy, virtual private networks, disaster recovery, bundled data and video services. The Company provides services to business customers in New York City, Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle, Miami, Dallas-Fort Worth, Houston, Philadelphia, Las Vegas-Reno and Providence-Newport. The Company's “Fixed Wireless business” has historically grown both organically and through the acquisition of five other fixed wireless broadband providers in various markets.

 

In January 2013, the Company incorporated a wholly-owned subsidiary, Hetnets Tower Corporation (“Hetnets”), to operate a new business designed to leverage its fixed wireless network in urban markets to provide other wireless technology solutions and services. Hetnets built a carrier-class network which offered a shared wireless infrastructure platform, primarily for (i) co-location of customer owned antenna and related equipment and (ii) Wi-Fi access and offloading. The Company referred to this as its “Shared Wireless Infrastructure” or “Shared Wireless” business. During the fourth quarter of 2015, the Company determined to exit this business and curtailed activities in its smaller markets. The remaining network, located in New York City (or “NYC”), was the largest and had a lease access contract with a major cable company. As a result, the Company explored opportunities during the fourth quarter of 2015 and continuing into the first quarter of 2016 to sell the New York City network. On March 9, 2016, the Company completed a sale and transfer of certain assets pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement (the "Agreement") with a large cable company (the "Buyer"). Under the terms of the Agreement, the Buyer assumed certain rooftop leases and acquired ownership of and the right to operate the Wi-Fi access point and related equipment associated with such leases. The Company retained ownership of all backhaul and related equipment, and the parties entered into an agreement under which the Company provides backhaul services to the Buyer. The agreement is for a three-year period with two one-year renewals and is cancellable by the Buyer on sixty-days notice. During the first quarter of 2016, the Company determined that it would not be able to sell the remainder of the New York City network, and accordingly, all remaining assets were redeployed into the fixed wireless network or written off. The operating results and cash flows for Hetnets have been reclassified and presented as discontinued operating results for all periods presented in these condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

Note 2. Liquidity, Going Concern and Management Plans

 

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. As of September 30, 2016, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $13 million and working capital of approximately $7.6 million. The Company incurred significant operating losses since inception and continues to generate losses from operations and as of September 30, 2016, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $173 million. These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of asset amounts or the classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2016, the Company has raised net proceeds of approximately $6.8 million through the placement of its equity securities. In addition, the Company has monitored and reduced certain of its operating costs over the course of the year. Historically, the Company has financed its operation through private and public placement of equity securities, as well as debt financing and capital leases. The Company’s ability to fund its longer term cash requirements is subject to multiple risks, many of which are beyond its control. The Company intends to raise additional capital, either through debt or equity financings or through the potential sale of the Company’s assets in order to achieve its business plan objectives. Management believes that it can be successful in obtaining additional capital; however, no assurance can be provided that the Company will be able to do so. There is no assurance that any funds raised will be sufficient to enable the Company to attain profitable operations or continue as a going concern. To the extent that the Company is unsuccessful, the Company may need to curtail or cease its operations and implement a plan to extend payables or reduce overhead until sufficient additional capital is raised to support further operations. There can be no assurance that such a plan will be successful.

Note 3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Basis of Presentation. The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial statements and with Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, they do not contain all information and footnotes required by GAAP for annual financial statements. The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. In the opinion of the Company’s management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all the adjustments necessary (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) to present the financial position of the Company as of September 30, 2016 and the results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full fiscal year or for any future period.

 

These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015. The Company’s accounting policies are described in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015, and updated, as necessary, in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

 

Retroactive Adjustment For Reverse Stock Split. On July 7, 2016, the Company effected a one-for-twenty reverse stock split of its common stock. Consequently, all earnings per share and other share related amounts and disclosures have been retroactively adjusted for all periods presented.

 

Use of Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and the amounts of revenues and expenses. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Key estimates include fair value of certain financial instruments, carrying value of intangible assets, reserves for accounts receivable and accruals for liabilities.

  

Concentration of Credit Risk. Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist of cash and cash equivalents. At times, our cash and cash equivalents may be uninsured or in deposit accounts that exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insurance limits. As of September 30, 2016, the Company had cash and cash equivalent balances of approximately $12.6 million in excess of the federally insured limit of $250,000.

 

Revenue Recognition. The Company normally enters into contractual agreements with its customers for periods ranging between one to three years. The Company recognizes the total revenue provided under a contract ratably over the contract period, including any periods under which the Company has agreed to provide services at no cost. The Company applies the revenue recognition principles set forth under the United States Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin 104, (“SAB 104”) which provides for revenue to be recognized when (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (ii) delivery or installation has been completed, (iii) the customer accepts and verifies receipt, and (iv) collectability is reasonably assured.

 

Deferred Revenues. Customers are billed monthly in advance. Deferred revenues are recognized for that portion of monthly charges not yet earned as of the end of the reporting period. Deferred revenues are also recognized for certain customers who pay for their services in advance.

 

 

 
6

 

    

Intrinsic Value of Stock Options and Warrants. The Company calculates the intrinsic value of stock options and warrants as the difference between the closing price of the Company’s common stock at the end of the reporting period and the exercise price of the stock options and warrants.

  

Reclassifications. Certain accounts in the prior year’s condensed consolidated financial statements have been reclassified for comparative purposes to conform to the presentation in the current year’s condensed consolidated financial statements. These reclassifications have no effect on the previously reported net loss.

 

Segments. The Company determined that the Shared Wireless Infrastructure and Fixed Wireless businesses represented separate business segments. In addition, the Company established a Corporate Group so that centralized operating and administrative activities which supported both businesses could be reported separately. During the fourth quarter of 2015, the Company determined to exit the Shared Wireless Infrastructure business. As a result, its operating results for all periods presented are being reported as discontinued operations in these financial statements. The operating results of the Fixed Wireless business are being reported as continuing operations.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements. In March 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2016-09, “Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting.” The new standard involves several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities and classification on the statement of cash flows. The new standard will be effective for the Company on January 1, 2017. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of its pending adoption of this standard on its condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures

  

In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-10 (“ASU 2016-10”), “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing.” ASU 2016-10 will affect all entities that enter into contracts with customers to transfer goods or services (that are an output of the entity’s ordinary activities) in exchange for consideration.  The amendments in this update affect the guidance in ASU 2014-09 which is not yet effective, the amendments in this update clarify the following two aspects of Topic 606: identifying performance obligations and the licensing implementation guidance, while retaining the related principles for those areas. The effective date and transition requirements for the amendments in this update are effective in the annual period ending December 31, 2017, including interim periods within that annual period. The Company is currently evaluating the effect that ASU 2016-10 will have on the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations.

 

In May 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-12 (“ASU 2016-12”), “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients.” ASU 2016-12 will affect all entities that enter into contracts with customers to transfer goods or services (that are an output of the entity’s ordinary activities) in exchange for consideration.  The amendments in this update affect the guidance in ASU 2014-09 which is not yet effective, the amendments in this update affect narrow aspects of Topic 606 including among others: assessing collectability criterion, noncash consideration, and presentation of sales taxes and other similar taxes collected from customers. The effective date and transition requirements for the amendments in this update are the same as the effective date and transition requirements for ASU 2016-10. The Company is currently evaluating the effect that ASU 2016-12 will have on the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations. 

 

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230), Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments” (“ASU 2016-15”). ASU 2016-15 is intended to address how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows. This update addresses eight specific cash flow issues with the objective of reducing the existing diversity in practice. The amendments are effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the effect that ASU 2016-15 will have on the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations.

Note 4.    Discontinued Operations

 

During the fourth quarter of 2015, the Company determined to exit the business conducted by Hetnets and curtailed activities in its smaller markets. The remaining network, located in New York City (or “NYC”), was the largest and had a lease access contract with a major cable company. As a result, the Company explored opportunities during the fourth quarter of 2015 and continuing into the first quarter of 2016 to sell the New York City network. On March 9, 2016, the Company completed a sale and transfer of certain assets pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement (the "Agreement") with a large cable company (the "Buyer"). Under the terms of the Agreement, the Buyer assumed certain rooftop leases and acquired ownership of and the right to operate the Wi-Fi access point and related equipment associated with such leases. The Company retained ownership of all backhaul and related equipment, and the parties entered into an agreement under which the Company provides backhaul services to the Buyer. The agreement is for a three-year period with two one-year renewals and is cancellable by the Buyer on sixty days notice. In connection with the Agreement, the Company transferred to the Buyer a net book value of network assets aggregating $2,660,041 in exchange for the backhaul agreement valued at $3,837,783. The backhaul agreement has been recorded as an intangible asset in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet. As a result, during the first quarter of 2016, the Company recognized a gain of $1,177,742 in its discontinued operations.

  

The Company has determined that it will not be able to sell the remaining network locations in New York City. As a result, the Company recognized charges totaling $1,585,319 in the first quarter of 2016 which included $453,403 representing the estimated cost to settle lease obligations, $528,364 to write off network assets which could not be redeployed into the fixed wireless network, $110,500 related to security deposits which are not expected to be recovered, and $493,052 related to the accelerated expensing of deferred acquisition costs. These costs were partially offset by a $1,244,284 reduction in the accrual for terminated lease obligations that was recorded in the fourth quarter of 2015. This reduction reflects the outcome of settlements negotiated in the first quarter of 2016 with certain landlords. The operating results and cash flows for Hetnets have been reclassified and presented as discontinued operations in these condensed consolidated financial statements for all periods presented.

Note 9. Long-Term Debt

 

In October 2014, the Company entered into a loan agreement (the "Loan Agreement") with Melody Business Finance, LLC (the "Lender") which provided the Company with a $35 million term loan (the "Financing" or "Note") which matures in October 2019. The Note was issued at a 3% discount totaling $1,050,000 which is being amortized over the term of the Note. The Company recognized interest expense of $64,966 and $83,076 in connection with the amortization of this discount for the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The Company recognized interest expense of $208,567 and $262,307 in connection with the amortization of this discount for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The unamortized balance totaled $405,169 at September 30, 2016 and $613,736 at December 31, 2015.

 

The Note bears interest payable in cash at a rate equal to the greater of (i) the sum of the one month Libor rate on each payment date plus 7% or (ii) 8% per annum, and additional paid in kind (“PIK”), or deferred, interest that accrues at 4% per annum.  The Company paid $766,581 and $736,183 of interest and accrued $383,290 and $368,092 of PIK interest for the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The Company paid $2,260,384 and $2,162,986 of interest and accrued $1,130,192 and $1,081,493 of PIK interest for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

 

The Loan Agreement contains several financial and non-financial covenants, the most significant of which is the maintenance of a minimum balance of $6.5 million in cash and cash equivalents. As of September 30, 2016, the Company was in compliance with all of the debt covenants.

 

In connection with the Loan Agreement and pursuant to a Warrant and Registration Rights Agreement, the Company issued warrants (the “Warrants”) to purchase 180,000 shares of common stock of which two-thirds have an exercise price of $25.20 and one-third have an exercise price of $0.20, subject to customary adjustments under certain circumstances. The Warrants have a term of seven and a half years. The fair value of the warrants granted to the Lender of $2,463,231 was calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and recorded as a debt discount. The debt discount is being amortized over the term of the Note using the effective interest rate. The Company recognized interest expense of $152,406 and $194,890 in connection with the amortization of this discount for the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The Company recognized interest expense of $489,284 and $615,355 in connection with the amortization of this discount for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The unamortized balance totaled $950,501 at September 30, 2016 and $1,439,785 at December 31, 2015.

 

The Company incurred costs, primarily professional services, of approximately $2,900,000 related to the Loan Agreement. These costs were recorded as a reduction to the note payable in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets and are being amortized over the term of the Loan Agreement using the effective interest rate. Amortization expense totaled $179,042 and $228,952 for the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Amortization expense totaled $574,797 and $722,902 for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The unamortized balance totaled $1,116,624 at September 30, 2016 and $ 1,691,421 at December 31, 2015.

Note 10. Capital Stock

 

In February 2016, the Company issued 5,000 shares of our common stock to a third party for investor relation services with a fair value of $20,000. The fair value of the common stock was expensed immediately, pursuant to the terms of the agreement, and recognized in general and administrative expenses in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations.

 

On June 17, 2016, the Company entered into securities purchase agreements with certain accredited investors pursuant to which the Company raised $2,280,000 in a registered direct offering for a total of 750,000 shares (a “Share”) of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”). Each Share was sold as a unit (each, a “Unit”, and collectively, the “Units”) at a purchase price of $3.04 per Unit, with each Unit consisting of one Share and an unregistered warrant to purchase one share of Common Stock (collectively, the “Warrants”).  The Common Stock and the Warrants are immediately separable and were issued separately.  Expenses associated with this direct offering totaled $43,750 resulting in net proceeds to the Company of $2,236,250. Such net proceeds were allocated to the shares and the warrants issued in the amounts of $1,677,188 and $559,063, respectively, in proportion to their relative fair value on the date of issuance.

 

On July 5, 2016, the Company filed a certificate of amendment (the “Amendment”) to its Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware in order to effectuate a reverse stock split of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock, par value $0.001 per share, on a one for twenty basis (the “Reverse Stock Split”). As a result of the Reverse Stock Split, every twenty shares of the Company’s pre-reverse split common stock will be combined and reclassified into one share of the Company’s common stock. No fractional shares of common stock will be issued. Stockholders who otherwise would be entitled to a fractional share shall receive the next higher number of whole shares. The par value and other terms of Company’s common stock were not affected by the Reverse Stock Split. The Reverse Stock Split was effective July 7, 2016.

 

On July 6, 2016, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with an accredited investor pursuant to which the Company raised $1,250,000 in a private placement offering 892,857 units of the Company’s securities (the “Units”) at a price of $1.40 per Unit. As adjusted for the Reverse Stock Split, each Unit consists of (i) one share of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Preferred Stock”), with each share of Preferred Stock convertible into one half of a share of common stock, and (ii) one fourth of a warrant (a “Warrant”), with each Warrant exercisable into common stock at an exercise price equal to $3.00 per share of common stock. The transaction closed on July 7, 2016. On July 21 and 26, 2016, the holder converted all 892,857 shares of the preferred stock into 446,429 shares of common stock.

 

On July 7, 2016, the Company also entered into a First Amendment (the “Amendment”) to those certain Securities Purchase Agreements, dated June 17, 2016 (the “June Purchase Agreements”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to amend the June Purchase Agreements entered into by and between certain investors and the Company. Pursuant to the terms of the Amendment and as adjusted for the Reverse Stock Split, the June Warrants were amended and restated to change the exercise price of the warrants to $3.80 from $5.00 and to include a mandatory exercise right of the Company to force exercise of the June Warrants if the Company’s common stock trades at or above $7.60 for any ten consecutive trading days out of a thirty consecutive trading day period (subject to certain equity conditions, a 9.99% beneficial ownership limitation and applicable NASDAQ shareholder approval rules, if any). All other terms of the June Warrants, including cash exercise if registered for resale within 90 days of closing, remain unchanged. 

 

On July 19, 2016, the Company issued 125,000 shares of our common stock to a third party for consulting services with a fair value of $385,000. The fair value of the common stock was expensed immediately, pursuant to the terms of the agreement, and recognized in general and administrative expenses in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations.

 

In September 2016, the Company issued 52,966 shares of our common stock with a fair value of $68,856 and 10,000 shares of our common stock with a fair value of $14,800 to third parties for investor relation services. The fair value of the common stock was expensed immediately pursuant to the terms of the agreements, and recognized in general and administrative expenses in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations.

 

On September 12, 2016, the Company entered into a series of Exchange Agreements whereby warrants issued on June 17 and July 7, 2016 for the purchase of up to 750,000 and 223,214, respectively, were exchanged for 680,000 shares of newly issued Series C Convertible Preferred Stock ("Series C Preferred"). Such Series C Preferred Stock is convertible for a like number of common shares at any time at the option of the holders subject to a 9.99% beneficial ownership limitation and applicable NASDAQ shareholder approval rules, if any. On various dates from October 10 through October 18, 2016, all of the holders of the Series C Preferred elected to exercise their conversion privileges and the Company issued 680,000 common shares.

 

On September 16, 2016, the Company completed an underwritten offering at $1.35 per share which resulted in gross proceeds of $4,000,000 and the issuance of 2,962,963 shares. The Company incurred costs of approximately $628,000 related to the offering. The Company granted the underwriter an option for a period of up to 45 days from the date of the prospectus to purchase up to an aggregate of 444,444 shares of the Company's common stock at $1.35 per share to cover overallotments. On October 25, 2016, the underwriter exercised that option and purchased all 444,444 shares on November 1, 2016 resulting in gross proceeds to the Company of $600,000. The Company incurred costs of approximately $55,000 in connection with that transaction.

Note 11. Stock Options and Warrants

 

Stock Options

 

The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to value options issued to employees, directors and consultants. Compensation expense, including the estimated effect of forfeitures, is recognized over the period of service, generally the vesting period. Stock compensation expense and the weighted average assumptions used to calculate the fair values of stock options granted during the periods indicated were as follows:

    $192,812         $191,170         $629,671         $609,469    

 

The risk-free interest rate was based on rates established by the Federal Reserve. The expected volatility was based upon the historical volatility for the Company’s common stock. The Company utilized historical data to determine the expected life of stock options. The dividend yield reflected the fact that the Company has not historically paid dividends, and does not expect to pay dividends in the foreseeable future. Stock-based compensation is included in general and administrative expenses in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. The unamortized amount of stock options expense totaled $1,003,595 as of September 30, 2016 which will be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.4 years.

In connection with the June 17, 2016 offering, the Company issued warrants to purchase 750,000 shares of common stock. Each warrant expires five years from the date of issuance, had an exercise price of $5.00 per share, and are exercisable six months from the date of issuance. The Company utilized the Black-Scholes model to value these warrants and attributed a value to them of $791,290 which was accounted for as additional paid-in capital. Assumptions included an interest rate of 1.17%, a contractual term of 5 years, expected volatility of 81%, and a dividend yield of zero. The risk-free interest rate was based on rates established by the Federal Reserve. The expected volatility was based upon the historical volatility for the Company’s common stock. The dividend yield reflected the fact that the Company has not historically paid dividends, and does not expect to pay dividends in the foreseeable future.

 

In connection with the July 7, 2016 offering, the Company issued warrants to purchase 223,214 shares of common stock. Each warrant expires five years from the date of issuance, had an exercise price of $3.00 per share. The Company utilized the Black-Scholes model to value these warrants and attributed a value to them of $240,709 which was accounted for as an addition to additional paid-in capital. Assumptions included an interest rate of 0.97%, a contractual term of 5 years, expected volatility of 78%, and a dividend yield of zero. The risk-free interest rate was based on rates established by the Federal Reserve. The expected volatility was based upon the historical volatility for the Company’s common stock. The dividend yield reflected the fact that the Company has not historically paid dividends, and does not expect to pay dividends in the foreseeable future.

 

On September 12, 2016, warrants totaling 973,214 were exchanged for 680,000 shares of common stock. See Note 10 for further information regarding the transaction.

 

On September 16, 2016, the Company issued warrants to purchase 75,000 shares of common stock to a consultant. The warrants expire five years from the date of issuance, had an exercise price of $1.48 per share, and are exercisable six months from the date of issuance. The Company utilized the Black-Scholes model to value these warrants and attributed a value to them of $66,577. Assumptions included an interest rate of 1.06%, a contractual term of 5 years, expected volatility of 80%, and a dividend yield of zero. The risk-free interest rate was based on rates established by the Federal Reserve. The expected volatility was based upon the historical volatility for the Company’s common stock. The dividend yield reflected the fact that the Company has not historically paid dividends, and does not expect to pay dividends in the foreseeable future. As the consultant had yet to commence providing services as of September 30, 2016, the value of those warrants had yet to be recorded as additional paid-in capital nor had any expense been recorded during the three month period then ended.

 

The weighted average remaining contractual life of the warrants was five years.

 

The aggregate intrinsic value associated with the warrants outstanding and exercisable as of September 30, 2016 was $69,000.

 

Note 12. Employee Stock Purchase Plan

 

Under the Company’s 2010 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP Plan”), participants can purchase shares of the Company’s stock at a 15% discount. In April 2016, shareholders approved an increase in the number of shares of common stock issuable under the ESPP Plan from 200,000 to 500,000 shares of common stock. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, a total of 4,454 and 11,523 shares were issued under the ESPP Plan with a fair value of $6,013 and $25,587, respectively. The Company recognized $902 and $4,017 of stock-based compensation related to the 15% discount for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively. The Company recognized $1,803 and $5,583 of stock-based compensation related to the 15% discount for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, respectively.

 

Note 13. Fair Value Measurement

 

Valuation Hierarchy

 

The accounting standard of the FASB for fair value measurements establishes a valuation hierarchy for disclosure of the inputs to valuation used to measure fair value. This hierarchy prioritizes the inputs into three broad levels. Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 inputs are quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly through market corroboration, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs based on the Company’s own assumptions used to measure assets and liabilities at fair value. A financial asset or liability’s classification within the hierarchy is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

 

 

 
14 

 

   

The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their fair value due to their short maturities. There were no changes in the valuation techniques during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016.

 

 

Note 14. Net Loss Per Common Share

 

Basic and diluted net loss per share has been calculated by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, the following common stock equivalents were excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per common share because they were anti-dilutive. The exercise or issuance of these common stock equivalents outstanding at September 30, 2016 and 2015 would dilute earnings per share if the Company becomes profitable in the future.

On October 25, 2016 and as disclosed in Note 10, the underwriter which assisted the Company in the offering of September 16, 2016 exercised an over-allotment option and purchased 444,444 common shares at $1.35 per share which resulted in gross proceeds to the Company of $600,000.

 

On November 8, 2016, the Company entered into a series of agreements wherein $5 million of the Company’s senior secured debt due to Melody Business Financing, LLC (“Melody”) was canceled and the Company simultaneously issued 1,000 shares of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock ("Series D Preferred") and warrants to purchase 4.0 million shares of common stock (the “Warrants”) at an exercise price of $1.15 per share. Those 1,000 shares of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock are convertible into 8,540,373 shares of the Company's common stock at the option of the holders. The detail terms of the Series D Preferred and the Warrants are described in the paragraphs below and are subject to adjustment as indicated.

 

The Warrants expire five years from the date of issuance and are exercisable six months after the date of issuance. The Warrants may be exercised on a cashless basis if there is no effective registration statement registering the shares of common stock underlying the Warrants for resale within 90 days of issuance. Otherwise, the Warrants may be exercised for cash. The exercise price shall be reduced to $1.01 per share upon the failure to timely register for resale the shares of common stock underlying the Warrants.  The Warrants also provide for certain rights upon fundamental transactions and adjustments to the exercise price of the Warrants based on stock dividends, stock splits and similar corporate actions.  The Company is prohibited from effecting the exercise of a holder’s Warrant to the extent that, as a result of such exercise, such holder would beneficially own more than 9.99% of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of common stock upon exercise of such Warrant.  

 

Also on that same date, the Company entered into a registration rights agreement pursuant to which it agreed to register for resale 150% of the shares of common stock underlying the Series D Convertible Preferred Stock and Warrants.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

 

The following discussion and analysis summarizes the significant factors affecting our condensed consolidated results of operations, financial condition and liquidity position for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 and the condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this filing. The following discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements that reflect our plans, estimates, and beliefs. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements.

 

Forward-Looking Statements

 

Forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including without limitation, statements related to our plans, strategies, objectives, expectations, intentions and adequacy of resources, are made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Investors are cautioned that such forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties including without limitation the following: (i) our plans, strategies, objectives, expectations and intentions are subject to change at any time at our discretion; (ii) our plans and results of operations will be affected by our ability to manage growth and competition; and (iii) other risks and uncertainties indicated from time to time in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

 

In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as ‘‘may,’’ ‘‘will,’’ ‘‘should,’’ ‘‘could,’’ ‘‘expects,’’ ‘‘plans,’’ ‘‘intends,’’ ‘‘anticipates,’’ ‘‘believes,’’ ‘‘estimates,’’ ‘‘predicts,’’ ‘‘potential,’’ or ‘‘continue’’ or the negative of such terms or other comparable terminology. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance, or achievements. Moreover, neither we nor any other person assumes responsibility for the accuracy and completeness of such statements. Readers are cautioned not to place too much reliance on these forward-looking statements which speak only as of the date hereof. We are under no duty to update any of the forward-looking statements after the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

 

Non-GAAP Measures and Reconciliations to GAAP Measures

 

We prepare our financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). We use certain Non-GAAP measures to monitor our business performance. These Non-GAAP measures are not recognized under GAAP. Accordingly, investors are cautioned about using or relying on these measures as alternatives to recognized GAAP measures. Our methods of calculating these measures may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies.

 

Characteristics of Revenues and Expenses

 

Infrastructure and access expenses relate directly to maintaining our network and providing connectivity to our customers. Infrastructure primarily relates to our Points-of-Presence ("PoPs") where we install a substantial amount of equipment, mostly on the roof, which we utilize to connect numerous customers to the internet. We enter into long term lease agreements to maintain our equipment on these PoPs and these rent payments comprise the majority of our infrastructure and access costs. Access expenses primarily consist of bandwidth connectivity agreements that we enter into with national service providers.

 

Network operations costs relate to the daily operations of our network and ensuring that our customers have connectivity within the terms of our service level agreement. We have employees based in our largest markets who are dedicated to ensuring that our network operates effectively on a daily basis. Other employees monitor network operations from our network operating center which is located at our corporate headquarters. Payroll comprises approximately 55% to 60% of network operations costs. Information technology systems and support comprises approximately 15% to 20% of network operations costs.

 

Customer support costs relate to our continuing communications with customers regarding their service level agreement. Payroll comprises approximately 83% to 88% of customer support costs. Other costs include travel expenses to service customer locations, shipping, troubleshooting, and facilities related expenses.

 

 

 
17 

 

   

Sales and marketing expenses primarily consist of the salaries, benefits, travel and other costs of our sales and marketing teams, as well as marketing initiatives and business development expenses.

  

General and administrative expenses include costs attributable to corporate overhead and the overall support of our operations. Salaries and other related payroll costs for executive management and finance personnel are included in this category. Other costs include accounting, legal and other professional services, and other general operating expenses.

 

Overview – Fixed Wireless

 

We provide fixed wireless broadband services to commercial customers and deliver access over a wireless network transmitting over both regulated and unregulated radio spectrum. Our service supports bandwidth on demand, wireless redundancy, virtual private networks, disaster recovery, bundled data and video services. We currently provide service to business customers in twelve metropolitan markets.

  

As of September 30, 2016, we operated in twelve metropolitan markets consisting of New York, Boston, Los Angeles, Chicago, San Francisco, Miami, Seattle, Dallas-Fort Worth, Houston, Philadelphia, Las Vegas-Reno and Providence-Newport. Although we provide services in multiple markets, these operations have been aggregated into one reportable segment based on the similar economic characteristics among all markets, including the nature of the services provided and the type of customers purchasing such services. The markets were launched at different times, and as a result, may have different operating metrics based on their size and stage of maturation. We incur significant up-front costs in order to establish a network presence in a new market. These costs include building PoPs and network costs. Other material costs include hiring and training sales and marketing personnel who will be dedicated to securing customers in that market. Once we have established a network presence in a new market, we are capable of servicing a significant number of customers. The rate of customer additions varies from market to market, and we are unable to predict how many customers will be added in a market during any specific period.

 

Overview - Shared Wireless Infrastructure 

 

In January 2013, the Company incorporated a wholly-owned subsidiary, Hetnets Tower Corporation (“Hetnets”), to operate a new business designed to leverage its fixed wireless network in urban markets to provide other wireless technology solutions and services. Hetnets built a carrier-class network which offered a shared wireless infrastructure platform, primarily for (i) co-location of customer owned antenna and related equipment and (ii) Wi-Fi access and offloading. The Company referred to this as its “Shared Wireless Infrastructure” or “Shared Wireless” business. During the fourth quarter of 2015, the Company determined to exit this business and curtailed activities in its smaller markets. The remaining network, located in New York City (or “NYC”), was the largest and had a lease access contract with a major cable company. As a result, the Company explored opportunities during the fourth quarter of 2015 and continuing into the first quarter of 2016 to sell the New York City network. On March 9, 2016, the Company completed a sale and transfer of certain assets pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement (the "Agreement") with a large cable company (the "Buyer"). Under the terms of the Agreement, the Buyer assumed certain rooftop leases and acquired ownership of and the right to operate the Wi-Fi access point and related equipment associated with such leases. The Company retained ownership of all backhaul and related equipment, and the parties entered into an agreement under which the Company provides backhaul services to the Buyer. The agreement is for a three-year period with two one-year renewals and is cancellable by the Buyer on sixty days notice. During the first quarter of 2016, the Company determined that it would not be able to sell the remainder of the New York City network, and accordingly, all remaining assets are being redeployed into the fixed wireless network or written off. The operating results and cash flows for Hetnets have been reclassified and presented as discontinued operating results for all periods presented in these condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

Three Months Ended September 30, 2016 Compared to Three Months Ended September 30, 2015

 

Continuing Operations – Fixed Wireless

 

Revenues. Revenues totaled $6,664,183 during the three months ended September 30, 2016 compared to $6,947,467 during the three months ended September 30, 2015 representing a decrease of $283,284, or 4%. The decrease principally related to a 4% decrease in the base of customers billed on a monthly recurring basis.

 

 

 
18 

 

  

Customer churn totaled 2.02% during the three months ended September 30, 2016 compared to 1.79% during the three months ended September 30, 2015. Churn represents the percent of revenue lost on a monthly basis from customers who have cancelled their contract. Effective January 1, 2016, we have modified our methodology to conform to common practice in the telecommunications industry. Revenue adjustments associated with customers who are modifying the (i) amount of their bandwidth or (ii) the pricing terms of their contract will no longer be included in the calculation of customer churn. Customer churn calculated under the previous methodology would have totaled 2.47% and 1.87% for the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Our goal is to maintain churn levels below industry averages of approximately 2.00%. Churn levels can fluctuate from period to period depending upon whether customers move to a location not serviced by the Company, go out of business, or a myriad of other reasons.

 

Infrastructure and Access. Infrastructure and access totaled $2,589,485 during the three months ended September 30, 2016 compared to $2,559,406 during the three months ended September 30, 2015 representing an increase of $30,079, or 1%. The increase primarily relates to our tower rental expense.

 

Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization totaled $2,992,758 during the three months ended September 30, 2016 compared to $2,430,452 during the three months ended September 30, 2015 representing an increase of $562,306 or 23%. Depreciation expense totaled $2,574,875 during the three months ended September 30, 2016 compared to $2,332,384 during the three months ended September 30, 2015 representing an increase of $242,491, or 10%. The increase primarily related to the transfer of certain assets during the first quarter of 2016 from discontinued operations to continuing operations.

 

Amortization expense totaled $417,883 during the three months ended September 30, 2016 compared to $98,068 during the three months ended September 30, 2015 representing an increase of $319,815, or more than 100%. Amortization expense relates to intangible assets recorded in connection with acquisitions and other transactions, and can fluctuate significantly from period to period depending upon the timing of acquisitions and other transactions, the relative amounts of intangible assets recorded, and the amortization periods. The increase related entirely to amortization associated with a transaction with a large cable company which closed in March 2016.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Changes in capital resources during the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 are described below.

 

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. As of September 30, 2016, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $13 million and working capital of approximately $7.6 million. The Company has incurred significant operating losses since inception and continues to generate losses from operations and as of September 30, 2016, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $173 million. These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of asset amounts or the classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

Historically, the Company has financed its operation through private and public placement of equity securities, as well as debt financing and capital leases. The Company’s ability to fund its longer term cash requirements is subject to multiple risks, many of which are beyond its control. The Company intends to raise additional capital, either through debt or equity financings or through the potential sale of the Company’s assets in order to achieve its business plan objectives. Management believes that it can be successful in obtaining additional capital; however, no assurance can be provided that the Company will be able to do so. There is no assurance that any funds raised will be sufficient to enable the Company to attain profitable operations or continue as a going concern. To the extent that the Company is unsuccessful, the Company may need to curtail or cease its operations and implement a plan to extend payables or reduce overhead until sufficient additional capital is raised to support further operations. There can be no assurance that such a plan will be successful.

 

On July 7, 2016, the Company raised $1,250,000 in a private placement offering of convertible preferred stock and warrants and received net proceeds of $1,194,737.

 

On August 8, 2016, the Company filed a preliminary Form S-1 with the Securities and Exchange Commission to register shares of its common stock which would allow the Company to raise up to $20 million.

 

On September 16, 2016, the Company raised $4,000,000 in a registered public offering of common shares and received net proceeds of $3,371,836.

 

On October 25, 2016, the underwriter of the registered public offering exercised an over-allotment option and the Company received $600,000 from the sale of common stock and received net proceeds of $545,500.

 

On November 8, 2016, the Company entered into a series of agreements wherein $5.0 million of the Company’s senior secured debt due to Melody Business Financing, LLC was canceled and the Company simultaneously issued 1,000 shares of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock and warrants to purchase 4.0 million shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.15 per share.  The cancellation of that debt serves to reduce the balloon payment due in October 2019 by that amount and reduce interest payments by $400,000 on an annual basis.

Net Cash Provided by (Used in) Financing Activities. There were no financing activities during either period.

    

In January 2013, the Company incorporated a wholly-owned subsidiary, Hetnets Tower Corporation (“Hetnets”), to operate a new business designed to leverage its fixed wireless network in urban markets to provide other wireless technology solutions and services. Hetnets built a carrier-class network which offered a shared wireless infrastructure platform, primarily for (i) co-location of customer owned antenna and related equipment and (ii) Wi-Fi access and offloading. The Company referred to this as its “Shared Wireless Infrastructure” or “Shared Wireless” business. During the fourth quarter of 2015, the Company determined to exit this business and curtailed activities in its smaller markets. The remaining network, located in New York City (or “NYC”), was the largest and had a lease access contract with a major cable company. As a result, the Company explored opportunities during the fourth quarter of 2015 and continuing into the first quarter of 2016 to sell the New York City network. On March 9, 2016, the Company completed a sale and transfer of certain assets to a major cable company (the “Buyer”). The Asset Purchase Agreement provided that the Buyer would assume certain rooftop leases in NYC and acquire ownership of the Wi-Fi access points and related equipment associated with operating the network. The Company retained ownership of all backhaul and related equipment and the parties entered into a backhaul services agreement under which the Company provides internet bandwidth to the Buyer at the locations governed by the leases. The agreement is for a three-year period with two, one year renewals and is cancellable by the Buyer on sixty days’ notice. The net effect of the Buyer (i) assuming certain rooftop leases, (ii) entering into a backhaul services agreement, and (iii) terminating the access agreement is projected to result in a net reduction in cash requirements of approximately $6 million annually. During the first quarter of 2016, the Company determined that it would not be able to sell the remainder of the New York City network, and accordingly, all remaining assets are being redeployed into the fixed wireless network or written off. The operating results and cash flows for Hetnets have been reclassified and presented as discontinued operating results for all periods presented in these condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

Other Considerations

 

Debt Financing. In October 2014, we entered into a loan agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with Melody Business Finance, LLC (the “Lender”). The Lender provided us with a five-year $35 million secured term loan (the “Financing”). The Financing was issued at a 3% discount and the Company incurred $2,893,739 in debt issuance costs. Net proceeds were $31,056,260.

 

 

 
24 

 

 

The loan bears interest at a rate equal to the greater of (i) the sum of the most recently effective one month LIBOR as in effect on each payment date plus 7% or (ii) 8% per annum, and additional paid in kind (“PIK”), or deferred, interest that accrues at 4% per annum.

 

The aggregate principal amount outstanding plus all accrued and unpaid interest is due in October 2019. The Company has the option of making principal payments (i) on or before October 16, 2016 (the “Second Anniversary”) but only for the full amount outstanding and (ii) after the Second Anniversary in minimum amount(s) of $5 million.

 

In connection with the Loan Agreement and pursuant to a Warrant and Registration Rights Agreement, we issued warrants (the “Warrants”) to purchase 3.6 million shares of common stock of which two-thirds have an exercise price of $1.26 and one-third have an exercise price of $0.01, subject to standard anti-dilution provisions. The Warrants have a term of seven and a half years. We have agreed to include the shares of common stock underlying the Warrants in a registration statement that must be filed no later than December 31, 2016.

 

Equity Offerings. In the second quarter of 2016, we entered into securities purchase agreements with certain accredited investors in which we sold in a registered direct offering a total of 750,000 shares of common stock at a purchase price of $3.04 per Unit, with each Unit consisting of one share of common stock and an unregistered warrant to purchase one share of common stock.  Expenses associated with this direct offering totaled $43,750.

 

On July 6, 2016, we entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with an accredited investor pursuant to which we raised $1,250,000 in a private placement offering 892,857 units of our securities (the “Units”) at a price of $1.40 per Unit. As adjusted for the Reverse Stock Split, each Unit consists of (i) one share of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Preferred Stock”), with each share of Preferred Stock convertible into one half of a share of common stock, and (ii) one fourth of a warrant (a “Warrant”), with each Warrant exercisable into common stock at an exercise price equal to $3.00 per share of common stock. The transaction closed on July 7, 2016. On July 21 and 26, 2016, the holder converted all of the shares of the preferred stock into 446,429 shares of common stock.

 

On September 16, 2016, we completed an underwritten offering at $1.35 per share which resulted in gross proceeds of $4,000,000 and the issuance of 2,962,963 shares. We incurred costs of approximately $630,000 related to the offering. We granted the underwriter an option for a period of up to 45 days from the date of the prospectus to purchase up to an aggregate of 444,444 shares of our common stock to cover overallotments. On October 25, 2016, the underwriter exercised that option and the Company received $600,000 from the sale of common stock and received net proceeds of $545,500.

Critical Accounting Policies

 

The preparation of 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 and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and the amounts of revenues and expenses. Critical accounting policies are those that require the application of management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often because of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain and that may change in subsequent periods. In preparing the financial statements, we utilize available information, including our past history, industry standards and the current economic environment, among other factors, in forming our estimates and judgments, giving appropriate consideration to materiality. Actual results may differ from these estimates. In addition, other companies may utilize different estimates which may impact the comparability of our results of operations to other companies in our industry. We believe that of our significant accounting policies, the following may involve a higher degree of judgment and estimation, or are fundamentally important to our business.

 

Revenue Recognition. We normally enter into contractual agreements with our customers for periods ranging between one to three years. We recognize the total revenue provided under a contract ratably over the contract period including any periods under which we have agreed to provide services at no cost. Deferred revenues are recognized as a liability when billings are issued in advance of the date when revenues are earned. We recognize revenue when (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (ii) delivery or installation has been completed, (iii) the customer accepts and verifies receipt, and (iv) collectability is reasonably assured.

 

Long-Lived Assets. Long-lived assets with definite lives consist primarily of property and equipment, and intangible assets such as acquired customer relationships. Long-lived assets are evaluated periodically for impairment or whenever events or circumstances indicate their carrying value may not be recoverable. Conditions that would result in an impairment charge include a significant decline in the fair value of an asset, a significant change in the extent or manner in which an asset is used, or a significant adverse change that would indicate that the carrying amount of an asset or group of assets is not recoverable. When such events or circumstances arise, an estimate of the future undiscounted cash flows produced by the asset, or the appropriate grouping of assets, is compared to the asset’s carrying value to determine if impairment exists. If the asset is determined to be impaired, the impairment loss is measured based on the excess of its carrying value over its fair value. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of their carrying value or net realizable value.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements. We have no off-balance sheet arrangements, financings, or other relationships with unconsolidated entities known as ‘‘Special Purposes Entities.’’

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

 

Market risk is the potential loss arising from adverse changes in market rates and prices. Our primary market risk relates to interest rates. At September 30, 2016, all cash and cash equivalents are immediately available cash balances. A portion of our cash and cash equivalents are held in institutional money market funds.   

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

 

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the ‘‘Exchange Act’’). Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuer’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based upon our evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective, as of September 30, 2016, in ensuring that material information that we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

There were no changes in our system of internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended September 30, 2016 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

 PART II

OTHER INFORMATION

 

 Item 1A. Risk Factors.

 

 We may fail to regain compliance for continued listing on the NASDAQ Capital Market and a delisting of our stock could make it more difficult for investors to sell their shares

 

Our common stock was approved for listing on the NASDAQ Capital Market in May of 2007 where it continues to be listed. The listing Rules (the “Rules”) of NASDAQ require the company to meet certain requirements. These continued listing standards include specific criteria, including:  

 

 

a $1.00 minimum closing bid price;

 

stockholders’ equity of $2.5 million;

 

500,000 shares of publicly-held common stock with a market value of at least $1 million;

 

300 round-lot stockholders; and

 

compliance with NASDAQ’s corporate governance requirements, as well as additional or more stringent criteria that may be applied in the exercise of NASDAQ’s discretionary authority.

 

On November 24, 2015, and as previously disclosed in a current report on Form 8-K filed on November 27, 2015, NASDAQ notified the Company that, based upon the closing bid price of our common stock for the 30 prior consecutive business days, we no longer satisfied the minimum $1.00 closing bid price requirement and provided a 180-day grace period through May 23, 2016 to regain compliance with that requirement. On May 17, 2016, and as previously disclosed in a current report on Form 8-K filed on May 23, 2016, NASDAQ notified us that we also no longer satisfied the minimum $2.5 million stockholders’ equity requirement.

 

 

 
28 

 

 

On July 7, 2016, we effected a 1 for 20 reverse split of our common stock which remedied the $1.00 closing bid price deficiency. On that same day, we met with NASDAQ representatives and presented a plan to comply with the minimum $2.5 million stockholders' equity requirement. On July 14, 2016, NASDAQ responded favorably to our plan and granted us until November 22, 2016 to comply with the stockholders' equity requirement.

 

We are diligently working to meet this remaining requirement for continued listing on NASDAQ. However, there is no assurance that we will be able to meet that requirement on or before November 22, 2016.

 

If we are delisted, our common stock will trade, if at all, only on the over-the-counter market, such as the OTC Bulletin Board or OTCQX market, and then only if one or more registered broker-dealer market makers comply with quotation requirements.  In addition, delisting of our common stock could depress our stock price, substantially limit liquidity of our common stock and materially adversely affect our ability to raise capital on terms acceptable to us, or at all.

  

Finally, delisting of our common stock would likely result in our common stock becoming a “penny stock” under the Securities Exchange Act.  The principal result or effect of being designated a “penny stock” is that securities broker-dealers cannot recommend the shares but must trade it on an unsolicited basis. Penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document prepared by the SEC, which specifies information about penny stocks and the nature and significance of risks of the penny stock market. A broker-dealer must also provide the customer with bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and sales person in the transaction, and monthly account statements indicating the market value of each penny stock held in the customer’s account. In addition, the penny stock rules require that, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules; the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written agreement to the transaction. These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the trading activity in the secondary market for shares that become subject to those penny stock rules. Under such circumstances, shareholders may find it more difficult to sell, or to obtain accurate quotations, for our common stock, and our common stock would become substantially less attractive to certain purchasers such as financial institutions, hedge funds and other similar investors.

 

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

 

During the quarterly period covered in this Report, we issued the following unregistered securities that have not previously been disclosed in a Current Report on Form 8-K:

 

 

5,000 shares of our common stock in February 2016 to a third party for consulting services with a fair value $20,000;

     

 

125,000 shares of our common stock in July 2016 to a third party for consulting services with a fair value $385,000;

     

 

52,966 shares of our common stock in September 2016 to a third party for consulting services with a fair value $68,856;

     

 

10,000 shares of our common stock in September 2016 to a third party for consulting services with a fair value $14,800; and

     

 

75,000 warrants with an exercise price of $1.48 per share in September 2016 to a third party for consulting services with a fair value $66,577.

 

These transactions did not involve any underwriters, underwriting discounts or commissions, or any public offering and we believe was exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933 by virtue of Section 4(2) thereof and/or Regulation D promulgated thereunder.
