FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

Some of the statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q may be “forward-looking statements.” Forward-looking statements are not historical facts but include, but are not limited to, statements that express our intentions, beliefs, expectations, strategies, predictions or any other statements relating to our future activities or other future events or conditions. These statements are based on current expectations, estimates and projections about our business based, in part, on assumptions made by management. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict.

 

Forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of terminology such as “estimates,” “projects,” “plans,” “believes,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “intends,” or the negative or other variations, or by discussions of strategy that involve risks and uncertainties. We urge you to be cautious of the forward-looking statements which are contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q because they reflect our current beliefs with respect to future events and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors affecting our operations, market growth, services, products and licenses. No assurances can be given regarding the achievement of future results, as actual results may differ materially as a result of the risks we face, and actual events may differ from the assumptions underlying the statements that have been made regarding anticipated events.

 

All written and oral forward-looking statements made in connection with this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that are attributable to us or persons acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by these cautionary statements. Any forward-looking statements speak only as of the date on which they are made, and we do not undertake any obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Given the uncertainties that surround such statements, you are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements.

NOTE 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION and Significant Accounting Policies

 

Description of Business

 

FTE Networks, Inc. (collectively with its subsidiaries, “FTE” or the “Company” is a leading provider of innovative technology-oriented solutions for smart platforms, network infrastructure and buildings throughout the United States across a range of industries. The Company’s primary activities include the engineering, building, installation, maintenance and support solutions for state-of-the-art networks and commercial properties and the following services, data center infrastructure, fiber optics, wireless integration, network engineering, internet service provider, general contracting management and general contracting.

 

On April 20, 2017, FTE acquired Benchmark Builders, Inc. (“Benchmark” or “Predecessor”). Benchmark is a full-service general contracting management and general contracting firm in the New York metropolitan area. See Note 4. The Company and Benchmark operate in similar segments. Unaudited predecessor financial statements have been provided in these condensed consolidated financial statements since the operations of the Company before the acquisition of Benchmark were insignificant relative to the operations acquired.

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying condensed unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions for Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Pursuant to these rules and regulations, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the annual audited consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted. The accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2017 is derived from the Company’s audited financial statements as of that date. Because certain information and footnote disclosures have been condensed or omitted, these condensed unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto as of and for the year ended December 31, 2017 contained in the Company’s 2017 Annual Report on Form 10-K (the “2017 Form 10-K”). The condensed consolidated financial statements include the Predecessor financial statements for the period of January 1, 2017 through March 31, 2017, the activity for the period from April 1, 2017 through April 20, 2017 was not material. In management’s opinion, all normal and recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented have been included. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. Interim period operating results do not necessarily indicate the results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the full fiscal year. The Company believes that the disclosures made in these condensed unaudited consolidated financial statements are adequate to make the information not misleading.

 

Segments

 

The Company operates in two segments in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 280 “Segments”, (“ASC No. 280”). Operating segments as defined in ASC No. 280, are components of public entities that engage in business activities from which they may earn revenues and incur expenses for which separate financial information is available and which is evaluated regularly by the Company’s chief operating decision maker in deciding how to assess performance and allocate resources. The two primary segments are the infrastructure segment and technology segment. The Company is reporting as one segment per ASC No. 280 as the revenue, profit and loss, and assets of the technology segment are immaterial.

 

There have been no material changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies and critical accounting estimates described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017.

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U. S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. These estimates and judgments are based on historical information, information that is currently available to the Company and on various other assumptions that the Company believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Key estimates include: the recognition of revenue and project profit or loss (which the Company defines as project revenue less project costs of revenue, including project-related depreciation), in particular, on construction contracts accounted for under the percentage-of-completion method, for which the recorded amounts require estimates of costs to complete projects, ultimate project profit and the amount of probable contract price adjustments as inputs; allowances for doubtful accounts; estimated fair values of acquired assets; asset lives used in computing depreciation and amortization; share-based compensation; other reserves and accruals; accounting for income taxes. While management believes that such estimates are reasonable when considered in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations taken as a whole, actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

 

Balance Sheet Classifications

 

The Company includes in current assets and liabilities retainage receivable and payable under construction contracts that may extend beyond one year. A one-year time period is used as the basis for classifying all other current assets and liabilities.

 

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

 

The Company adopted ASC No. 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (“ASC No. 606”) with a date of initial application of January 1, 2018. As a result, the Company has updated its accounting policy for revenue recognition to reflect the new standard, see Note 3. The adoption of ASC No. 606 represents a change in accounting principle that will more closely align revenue recognition with the delivery of the Company’s services and will provide financial statement readers with enhanced disclosures. The Company applied ASC No. 606 using the modified retrospective method. The Company has elected to apply this initial application of the standard only to contracts that are not completed at the date of initial application. For contracts which were modified before the adoption date, the Company has not restated the contract for those modifications. Instead, the Company reflected the aggregate effect of all modifications when identifying the satisfied and unsatisfied performance obligations, determining the transaction price and allocating the transaction price, if necessary. The cumulative effect of initially applying the new revenue standard would be applied as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings. The Company has analyzed this effect and found the adoption of the new guidance did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements and its recognition is consistent with the historical accounting policies. As such, comparative information has not been restated and continues to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for those periods.

 

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 clarifies and provides specific guidance on eight cash flow classification issues that are not currently addressed in U.S. GAAP and will thereby reduce the current diversity in practice. ASU 2016-15 is effective for public business entities for annual periods, including interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2017, with early application permitted. The Company adopted the new standard on January 1, 2018 without a material impact on its financial statements.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)” (“ASU 2016-02”). The standard requires a lessee to recognize assets and liabilities on the balance sheet for leases with lease terms greater than 12 months. The standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, the effective date for the Company is January 1, 2019, with early application permitted. The adoption will require a modified retrospective approach for leases that exist or are entered after the beginning of the earliest period presented. The Company is currently evaluating the standard to determine the impact of the adoption on the consolidated financial statements.

 

The Company will adopt ASU 2016-02 as of January 1, 2019 and expects to utilize the expedients permitted under ASU 2016-02, which allow entities to retain the classification of lease contracts existing as of the date of adoption and ASU 2018-11 which relieves the entities from having to present prior comparative years’ results when adopting the standard and allows an entity to recognize the cumulative effect of applying the new standard to leased assets and liabilities as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings.

 

10
 

 

The Company is continuing to assess the potential effects of this ASU, which have not yet been quantified, on its consolidated financial statements. The Company’s assessment, which it expects to substantially complete in the fourth quarter of 2018, includes a detailed review of the lease contracts and a comparison of its historical accounting policies and practices to the new standard. Based on the Company’s progress in reviewing its leasing arrangements across all of its business units, the Company expects to recognize incremental lease assets and liabilities on its consolidated balance sheets upon adoption of the standard.

 

This ASU is not expected to have a material effect on the amount of expense recognized in connection with the Company’s current leasing arrangements as compared to current practice; however, based on the Company’s preliminary review of its lease contracts to date, it anticipates that the amount of incremental lease assets and lease liabilities to be recognized upon adoption of this ASU will not be material. The Company’s expectations may change as its assessment progresses. For information about the Company’s future lease commitments as of December 31, 2017, see Note 12 – Commitments and Contingencies in the Company’s 2017 Form 10-K.

 

Net Loss Per Common Share

 

Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to common stockholders (the numerator) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period (the denominator). Diluted net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period adjusted for the dilutive effects of common stock equivalents (the denominator), as calculated under the treasury stock method, which includes the potential effect of dilutive common stock equivalents, such as issued but unvested restricted shares. In periods when losses are reported, the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding excludes common stock equivalents because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive. The Company incurred losses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017.

 

The Company had the following anti-dilutive common stock equivalents as calculated under the treasury stock method:

 

   For the Three Months Ended June 30,   For the Six Months Ended June 30, 
   2018   2017   2018   2017 
Convertible preferred stock, Series A(a)   28,324    26,687    28,324    26,687 
Convertible preferred stock, Series A-1(a)   17,937    15,746    17,937    15,746 
Common stock warrants   1,122,520    819,925    1,122,520    819,925 
Restricted stock units   322,921    322,921    322,921    322,921 
Options   46,634        46,634     
Total potentially dilutive shares   1,538,336    1,185,279    1,538,336    1,185,279 

 

  (a) Dilutive effect of convertible securities are included in diluted EPS by application of the if-converted method.

 

The above table excludes any common shares related to the convertible debt since such debt is only convertible at the then prevailing market price upon default.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company’s effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 was 1.1% and (2.4)%, respectively. The Company’s effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 was (1.9)% and (1.4)%, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, the Company calculated income tax expense based upon an annual effective tax rate forecast adjusted for discrete items that specifically relate to the interim period. Changes in tax laws or rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized as discrete items in the interim period that includes the enactment date.

 

The Company’s effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 was primarily based on the Company’s recognition of a deferred tax liability as of March 31 and June 30, 2018. The deferred tax liability is related to goodwill, which was assigned an indefinite life for book purposes, also knows as a “naked credit” in the amount of $1,120 and $1,007 as of March 31 and June 30, 2018, respectively.

 

On December 22, 2017, new legislation was signed into law, informally titled the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, which included, among other things, a provision to reduce the federal corporate income tax rate to 21%. Under ASC 740, Accounting for Income Taxes, the enactment of the Tax Act also requires companies, to recognize the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities and the retroactive effects of changes in tax laws in the period in which the new legislation is enacted. There is no further change to its assertion on maintaining a full valuation allowance against its U.S. deferred tax assets. The Company’s gross deferred tax assets have been revalued from 34% to 21% with a corresponding offset to the valuation allowance. Any potential other taxes arising due to the Tax Act will result in reductions to its net operating loss carryforward and valuation allowance. The reduction of the corporate tax rate resulted in a write-down of the gross deferred tax asset of approximately $4,700, and a corresponding write-down of the valuation allowance. Upon completion of the 2017 and 2018 U.S. income tax returns the Company may identify additional remeasurement adjustments to the deferred tax liability. The Company will continue to assess its provision for income taxes as future guidance is issued, but do not currently anticipate significant revisions will be necessary. Any such revisions will be treated in accordance with the measurement period guidance outlined in Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118.

Note 2. Liquidity and Managements’ Plans

 

The Company reported operating income of $466 during the six months ended June 30, 2018 and had a cash and cash equivalent balance of $12,884 at June 30, 2018. The Company also used cash in its operating activities of $3,177 and had a working capital deficit of $34,739 due to its senior notes payables becoming current within the year. The Company believes with its cash and cash equivalent balance at June 30, 2018 of $12,884, current revenues of $171,511 and backlog and orders under master service agreements of approximately $322,000 as of June 30, 2018, will be sufficient to maintain operations and working capital requirements for at least the next 12 months from the date of this filing. Other sources of liquidity could include additional potential issuances of debt or equity securities in public or private financings.

 

Note 3. Revenue Recognition

 

On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASC No. 606. Under ASC No. 606, revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of promised goods or services, in an amount that reflects the consideration which the entity expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. To determine revenue recognition for arrangements that an entity determines are within the scope of ASC 606, the Company performs the following five steps: (i) identify the contract(s) with a customer; (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to the customer and is the unit of account in ASC No. 606. At contract inception, once the contract is determined to be within the scope of ASC 606, the Company assesses the goods or services promised within each contract and determines those that are performance obligations and assesses whether each promised good or service is distinct. The Company then recognizes as revenue the amount of the transaction price that is allocated to the respective performance obligation when (or as) the performance obligation is satisfied. The Company does not collect sales, value add, and other taxes collected on behalf of third parties.

 

Disaggregation of Revenue

 

The following table details the revenue from customers disaggregated by source of revenue.

 

  

Three Months Ended

June 30, 2018

   Six Months Ended
June 30, 2018
 
Major Sources of Revenue          
Infrastructure  $86,028   $170,953 
Technology   339    558 
Total  $86,367   $171,511

 

Infrastructure revenue

 

Revenues in the Infrastructure segment are derived from construction services, which in Benchmark are derived from short-term construction projects ranging from 6 to 12 months in duration under fixed-price contracts. The Company has determined that these short-term construction projects provide a distinct service and, therefore, qualify as one performance obligation as the promise to transfer the individual goods or services is not separately identifiable from other promises in the contracts and, therefore, not distinct. Revenue from fixed-price contracts provide for a fixed amount of revenue for the entire project, subject to certain additions for modified scope or specifications to the original project. Revenue is recognized over time, because of the continuous transfer of control to the customer as all the work is performed at the customer’s site and, therefore, the customer controls the asset as it is being constructed. This continuous transfer of control to the customer is further supported by clauses in the contract that allow the customer to unilaterally terminate the contract for convenience, pay us for costs incurred plus a reasonable profit and take control of any work in process.

 

Under ASC No.606, the cost-to-cost measure of progress continues to best depict the transfer of control of assets to the customer, which occurs as we incur costs. Contract costs include labor, material, and other direct costs. Contract modifications are routine in the performance of the contracts. Contracts are often modified to account for changes in the contract specifications or requirements. In most instances, contact modifications are for goods or services that are not distinct, therefore, accounted for as part of the existing contract. Cost to obtain contracts (pre-contract costs) are generally charged to expense as incurred and included in operating expenses on the consolidated statements of operations.

 

12
 

 

Certain construction contracts include retention provisions to provide assurance to the customers that the Company will perform in accordance with the contract terms and, therefore, not considered a financing benefit. The balances billed but not paid by customers pursuant to these provisions generally become due upon completion and acceptance of the project work or products by the customer. The Company has determined that there are no significant financing components in its contracts during the three and six months ended June 30, 2018.

 

Costs to mobilize equipment and labor to a job site prior to substantive work beginning are capitalized as incurred and amortized over the expected duration of the contract. As of June 30, 2018, and January 1, 2018, the Company had no material capitalized mobilization costs.

 

Revenue from telecommunication services from FTE Network Services are derived from short-term projects performed under master and other service agreements as well as from contracts for specific projects or jobs requiring the installation of an entire infrastructure system or specified units within an entire infrastructure system. The Company has determined that these short-term projects provide a distinct service and therefore qualify as one performance obligation. The Company provides services under unit-price or fixed-price master service or other service agreements under which the Company furnishes specified units of service for a fixed-price per unit of service and revenue is recognized upon completion of the defined project due to its short-term nature.

 

Technology revenue

 

The Company also derives service revenues by managing wireless networks for customers to offer to their tenants and bills monthly in advance for the month’s services. The Company determined the wireless service contracts cover a single performance obligation and transfer control of access to the wireless service continuously, as the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits. Therefore, the revenue for the monthly wireless service, is considered to be recognized over time.

 

Contract Assets and Liabilities

 

The timing of revenue recognition, billings and cash collections results in billed accounts receivable, retainage receivable and costs and estimated earning in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts (contract assets) on the consolidated balance sheet. In the infrastructure segment, amounts are billed as work in progress in accordance with agreed-upon contractual terms at periodic intervals. Generally, billing occurs subsequent to revenue recognition, resulting in contract assets. However, the Company sometimes receives advances or deposits from its customers, before revenue is recognized, resulting in billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts (contract liabilities). These assets and liabilities are reported on the consolidated balance sheet on a contract-by-contract basis at the end of the reporting period. Changes in the contract asset and liability balances for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 were not materially impacted by any other factors.

 

The following table provides information about receivables, contract assets and contract liabilities from contracts with customers:

 

   January 1, 2018   June 30, 2018 
Trade receivables  $62,199   $72,693 
Contract assets  $11,226   $2,206 
Contract liabilities  $30,304   $21,754 

 

As of January 1, 2018, and June 30, 2018 contract liabilities consisted of accrued subcontract costs, therefore, no amounts were recognized in revenue during the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 related to its contract liabilities.

 

Contract Acquisition Costs

 

The Company does not have commission programs or incur other contract fulfilment costs in obtaining new contracts. All personnel costs were expensed as current period costs.

 

Contract Estimates

 

Accounting for long-term contracts and programs involves the use of techniques to estimate total contract revenue and costs. Transaction price for contracts may include variable consideration, which includes increases to transaction price for approved and change orders, claims and other contract provisions. The Company includes variable consideration in the estimated transaction price to the extent it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur or when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is resolved. The estimates of variable consideration and determination of whether to include estimated amounts in transaction price are based largely on an assessment of the anticipated performance and all information (historical, current and forecasted) that is reasonably available to the Company. The effect of variable consideration on the transaction price of a performance obligation is recognized as an adjustment to revenue on a cumulative catch-up basis. To the extent unapproved change orders and claims reflected in transaction price are not resolved in the Company’s favor, or to the extent other contract provisions reflected in the transaction price are not earned, there could be reductions in or reversals of, previously recognized revenue. No adjustment on any one contract was material to the consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017.

Transaction Price Allocated to the Remaining Performance Obligations

 

On June 30, 2018, the Company had approximately $132,000 of estimated revenue expected to be recognized in the future related to performance obligations that are unsatisfied (or partially unsatisfied).

 

NOTE 4. ACQUISITION

 

2017 Acquisition

 

During April 2017, the Company acquired all the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of Benchmark Builders, Inc. (“Benchmark”). The acquisition was accounted for as a business combination in accordance with ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations. Benchmark is a full-service general contracting management and general contracting firm, significantly expanding the Company’s presence in the New York area.

 

Unaudited Supplemental Pro Forma Information

 

The pro forma results presented below include the effects of the Company’s 2017 acquisition of Benchmark as if the acquisition occurred on January 1, 2017. The pro forma net loss for the period ended June 30, 2017 includes the additional depreciation and amortization resulting from the adjustments to the value of property and equipment and intangible assets resulting from purchase accounting and elimination of transaction costs. The pro forma results also include interest expense associated with debt used to fund the acquisitions. The pro forma results do not include any anticipated synergies or other expected benefits of the acquisitions. The unaudited pro forma financial information is not necessarily indicative of either future results of operations or results that might have been achieved had the acquisitions been consummated as of January 1, 2017.

 

The unaudited pro forma combined results, which assumes the transaction was completed on January 1 are as follows for the period ended June 30, 2017.

 

   Revenue [*]   Net Loss[*]   Loss per
Share
   Weighted
Average
Shares
 
2017 supplemental pro forma from January 1, 2017 through June 30, 2017  $97,872   $(13,448)  $(2.93)   4,585,951 

 

[*] The unaudited supplemental pro forma activity from April 1, 2017 through June 30, 2017 has been excluded as the activity for the period April 1, 2017 through April 20, 2017 was not material.

 

NOTE 5. Accounts Receivable

 

Accounts receivable, net for the following:

 

   June 30, 2018   December 31, 2017 
Uncompleted contracts  $39,848   $39,612 
Completed contracts   6,992    8,555 
Accounts receivable   5,899    4,510 
Unbilled receivable   20,624    10,077 
Allowance for doubtful accounts   (670)   (555)
Accounts receivable, net  $72,693   $62,199 

 

Accounts receivable from customers are generated from revenues earned after the installation or service for a job has been completed, inspected and approval has been obtained by its customer. The Company segments some of its large contracts into smaller more manageable contracts which allows for certain jobs to be completed, inspected and approved for payment by the customer in less time than non-segmentation. Unbilled Accounts Receivable are generally invoiced when authorized by the service provider typically within 90 to 180 days after the Company completes its performance obligation. The payment terms are generally 30 days.

Total Intangible Assets       $72,344   $13,482   $58,862 

 

The Company performs its annual goodwill impairment assessment at the end of the first quarter each year. As a result of the Company’s annual assessment, the Company determined that the fair value of the indefinite-lived intangible asset was substantially in excess of its carrying values and no impairment had occurred. The Company continues to believe that goodwill and the indefinite-lived intangible asset are recoverable; however, significant adverse changes in the projected revenues and cash flows of the Company could result in an impairment of goodwill or the indefinite-lived intangible asset. There can be no assurances that goodwill or the indefinite-lived intangible asset may not be impaired in future periods.

 

Amortization expense for the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, totaled $2,253 and $2,310, respectively, and for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, totaled $4,506 and $2,310, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, amortization expense of $938 and $1,876, respectively, was charged to operating expenses and $1,315 and $2,630, respectively, was charged to cost of revenues. For the three months ended June 30, 2017, amortization expense of $590, was charged to operating expenses and $1,720, was charged to cost of revenues. No amortization expense was recorded prior to April 20, 2017, the acquisition date of Benchmark.

The Company’s customer base is highly concentrated. Revenues are non-recurring, project-based revenues, therefore, it is not unusual for significant period-to-period shifts in customer concentrations. Revenue may significantly decline if the Company were to lose one or more of its significant customers, or if the Company were not able to obtain new customers upon the completion of significant contracts.

Forward-looking statements are statements not based on historical information and which relate to future operations, strategies, financial results or other developments. Forward looking statements are necessarily based upon estimates and assumptions that are inherently subject to significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond our control and many of which, with respect to future business decisions, are subject to change. These uncertainties and contingencies can affect actual results and could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements made by, or on our behalf. Words such as “anticipate,” “estimate,” “plan,” “continuing,” “ongoing,” “expect,” “believe,” “intend,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “could,” and similar expressions are used to identify forward-looking statements. We disclaim any obligation to update forward-looking statements.

 

Unless the context requires otherwise, references in this document to “FTE”, “we”, “our”, “us” or the “Company” are to FTE Networks, Inc. and its subsidiaries. References to “Benchmark” or “Predecessor” in this document refers to Benchmark Builders, Inc., FTE’s wholly owned subsidiary. Predecessor financial information has been provided since our operations before the acquisition of Benchmark were insignificant relative to the operations acquired. Unless otherwise noted, dollar amounts are presented in thousands.

 

Overview

 

FTE Networks, Inc, is a leading networking infrastructure and interior full-service contractor for state-of-the-art networks and commercial properties. We provide general contract management, and provide end-to-end design, build and support solutions to create the most transformative smart platforms and buildings.

 

We completed the acquisition of Benchmark, a leading provider of construction management services based in New York for $74,245 on April 20, 2017. The transaction allows us to offer services to each other’s clients and expand their offerings nationally. As a wholly-owned subsidiary of ours, Benchmark will continue to operate under its current successful model while also offering our “compute to the edge” technology in New York City and the surrounding region. The transaction enables us to expand infrastructure services for ISP through current and future Benchmark client base. Benchmark gives us access to major developers including REITs as potential CrossLayer technology clients. Additionally, the transaction strengthens the opportunity to win contracts from Fortune 100/500 companies and enables Benchmark to access more clients as a public company.

 

We operate primarily in two segments: the infrastructure segment and the technology segment. The infrastructure segment includes FTE Networks Services (network infrastructure solutions); and Benchmark (construction management), which provides end-to-end interior design, build and support solutions. The technology segment which includes CrossLayer, Inc. (managed network services with first-of-its-kind advanced network and cloud platform) became operational during October of 2017, with immaterial operations during the six months ended June 30, 2018.

For the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, we reported condensed consolidated net loss of $13,558 and $5,093, respectively, an increase of $8,465 or 166%.

The increase in the net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2018 was attributable primarily to the increase in other expenses of $11,286 and increase in total operating expenses of $3,039, partially offset by an increase in gross profit of $5,632.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Overview

 

Our primary sources of liquidity have been cash provided by operations, incurrence of debt and equity offerings. Our principal uses of cash have been for acquisitions, working capital, acquisitions, capital expenditures and debt service requirements. We anticipate that our principal uses of cash in the future will be for debt service requirements, capital expenditures, working capital and acquisitions. As of June 30, 2018, we had cash and cash equivalents of $12,884 and a working capital deficit of $34,739. Our senior credit facility of $28,661, Series A convertible promissory notes of $13,265 and Series C of $7,500 are maturing within the next twelve months negatively impacting our working capital; however, we believe we will have sufficient resources to fund our obligations and foreseeable liquidity requirements in the near term.

As of June 30,2018, we had a backlog of unfilled contracts and master service agreements of approximately $322,000 which includes $132,000 of Benchmark’s backlog and FTE Networks master service agreements of $190,000. We define backlog as the value of work-in-hand to be provided for customers as of a specific date where the following conditions are met (with the exception of engineering change orders): (i) the price of the work to be done is fixed; (ii) the scope of the work to be done is fixed, both in definition and amount; and (iii) there is a written contract, purchase order, agreement or other documentary evidence which represents a firm commitment by the customer to pay us for the work to be performed. These backlog amounts are based on contract values and purchase orders and may not result in actual receipt of revenue in the originally anticipated period or at all. We may experience variances in the realization of our backlog because of project delays or cancellations resulting from external market factors and economic factors beyond our control and we may experience such delays or cancellations in the future. Backlog does not include new firm commitments that may be awarded to us by our customers from time to time in future periods. These new project awards could be started and completed in this same future period. Accordingly, our backlog does not necessarily represent the total revenue that could be earned by us in future periods.

Net Cash Flows from Operating Activities

 

Net cash flows used in operating activities during the six months ended June 30, 2018 was $3,177 as compared to cash provided by operating activities $1,084 during the six months ended June 30, 2017.

Cash flows during the period were reduced by the net change in working capital components of $7.360. The $7,360 cash outflow associated with the change in working capital components was primarily driven by the increases in accounts receivable of $10,493, the increase in other current assets of $369, the decrease in the contract liability of $8,550 partially offset by the net increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $2,481 and increase in cost and estimated earning in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts of $9,019.

During the six months ended June 30, 2018, cash used in investing activities consisted of the purchase of property and equipment.

During the six months ended June 30, 2018, cash provided by financing activities was primarily from the proceeds from notes payable totaling $13,698, $935 proceeds from our senior credit facility and $5,733 from the proceeds of the sale of common stock, partially offset by payments made on notes payable totaling $14,981 and $2,650 of payments of related party notes payable. During the six months ended June 30, 2017, cash provided by financing activities was primarily from proceeds received from our senior credit facility of $11,000, the Series C Notes of $7,500 and notes payable, net of $4,728 partially offset by payments on notes payable of $1,305.

 

Management’s Liquidity Plans

 

As of June 30, 2018, we had cash and cash equivalents of $12,884, and we raised approximately $5,733 through the sale of our common stock to investors. During the six months ended June 30, 2018, we reported operating income of $466; net cash flows used in operating activities of $3,177. and a working capital deficit of $34,739. Our senior credit facility totaling $28,661 and our Series A convertible promissory notes totaling $13,265 and Series C Notes totaling $7,500 are maturing within the year. Management believes with our current revenues of $171,511 and backlog and orders under master service agreements of approximately $322,000 as of June 30, 2018, our sources of cash will be sufficient to maintain operations and working capital requirements for at least the next 12 months from the date of this filing. Other sources of liquidity could include additional potential issuances of debt or equity securities in public or private financings.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Our management carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer (who is our Principal Executive Officer) and our Chief Financial Officer (who is our Principal Financial Officer and Principal Accounting Officer), of the effectiveness of the design of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined by Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e)) as of June 30, 2018, pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(b).

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

During the three months ended June 30, 2018, Management took additional steps to improve its internal controls over financial reporting. An Assistant Controller and Accounting Manager were hired to assist us in the timely filing of its regulatory reports and strengthen segregation of duties over cash and the processing of transactions in our accounting systems. Management also implemented the consolidation of its payroll processing systems which will be completed during the third quarter of 2018. A secondary review process was also instituted over travel and expense report processing and reimbursement. A delegation of authority matrix which outlines levels of authority and secondary approvals was adopted during the second quarter of 2018. Management believes these changes will improve our internal controls over financial reporting.
