Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

 

 

Note 1 Organization and Basis of Presentation

 

Speed Commerce, Inc. (the “Company” or “Speed Commerce”), a Minnesota corporation formed in 1983, is a provider of web platform development and hosting, customer care, fulfillment, order management, logistics and call center capabilities for clients.

 

In April 2015, the Company announced that our Board of Directors has initiated a process to explore and consider possible strategic alternatives for enhancing shareholder value. These alternatives could include, but are not limited to, a recapitalization or a sale or merger of the Company. The Board of Directors is overseeing this process and Stifel, Nicolaus & Company has been retained as financial and strategic advisor to the Company.

  

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Speed Commerce have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted (“GAAP”) in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete consolidated financial statements.

 

All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. In the opinion of the Company, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.

 

Because of the seasonal nature of the Company’s business, the operating results and cash flows for the three month periods ended June 30, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2016. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in Speed Commerce, Inc.’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2015.

 

Significant accounting policies

 

There were no significant changes to our critical accounting policies from those disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC for the year ended March 31, 2015.

  

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

  

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) ("Update 2014-09"), which requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. The ASU will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in GAAP when it becomes effective. The new standard is effective for the Company on April 1, 2016, and early application is not permitted. The standard permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. We are currently evaluating the effect that ASU 2014-09 will have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

  

In August 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-15, (“ASU 2014-15”), “Disclosure of Uncertainties About an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern”. ASU 2014-15 requires management to perform interim and annual assessments of an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year of the date the financial statements are issued and provides guidance on determining when and how to disclose going concern uncertainties in the financial statements. Certain disclosures will be required if conditions give rise to substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. ASU 2014-15 applies to all entities and is effective for annual and interim reporting periods ending after December 15, 2016, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect that the adoption of this standard will have a material effect on its financial statements.

 

In April 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2015-03, Interest — Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs. The amendments in ASU 2015-03 require the debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. ASU 2015-03 is effective for annual and interim periods beginning on or after December 15, 2015. The Company does not expect adoption of this standard will have a significant impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

Note 2 Acquisition 

 

Fifth Gear

 

On November 21, 2014, the Company completed the purchase of the Fifth Gear Assets. Total consideration included: $55.0 million in cash at closing, and up to 7,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock upon Fifth Gear’s achieving certain financial metrics for the twelve months ended December 31, 2014.  The cash paid at closing was funded by the Company's Amended and Restated Credit and Guaranty Agreement.   The combined fair value of the earn-out consideration was estimated to be $10.4 million based upon Level 3 fair value valuation techniques (unobservable inputs that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions).  A financial model was applied to estimate the value of the consideration that utilized the income approach and option pricing theory to compute expected values and probabilities of reaching the various thresholds in the agreement. Key assumptions included (i) the product of nine times the 2014 Adjusted EBITDA of Seller, on a combined and consolidated basis exceeds (ii) $55 million in an amount not to exceed 7,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock.

 

In April 2015, the purchase agreement was amended to increase the maximum number of common shares for the earn-out consideration that could be earned from 7,000,000 shares to 8,400,000 shares in conjunction with the April 2015 equity offering.

 

The goodwill of $32.3 million arising from the Purchase Agreement consists largely of the synergies and economies of scale expected from combining the operations of the Company and Fifth Gear. This transaction qualified as an acquisition of a significant business pursuant to Regulation S-X and financial statements for the acquired business were filed.

 

The purchase price was allocated based on preliminary estimates of the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed as follows (in thousands):

 

The Fifth Gear purchase price was allocated as follows:

  $ 5,175  

Inventory

Net sales of Fifth Gear, included in net revenue - in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss) for the three months ended June, 2015 was $14.8 million.  Fifth Gear provided operating income of $2,100 to the consolidated Company’s operating income for the three months ended June 30, 2015.

 

A gain of $2.1 million was recognized for the three months ended June 30, 2015 related to the contingent earn out obligation valued at $2.4 million and $4.5 million as of June 30, 2015 and March 31, 2015, respectively. The gain was included in other income (expense) in the statement of operations recorded under liability method.

 

The following summary, prepared on a condensed pro forma basis presents the Company’s unaudited consolidated results from operations as if the acquisition of Fifth Gear had been completed at the beginning of the period presented.  The pro forma presentation below does not include any impact of transaction costs or synergies.

Note 7 Commitments and Contingencies

 

Litigation and Proceedings

 

In the normal course of business, the Company is involved in a number of litigation/arbitration and administrative/regulatory matters that are incidental to the operation of the Company’s business. These proceedings generally include, among other things, various matters with regard to products distributed by the Company and services provided by the Company, disagreements regarding ownership of intellectual property, the payment of amounts owed by the Company to third parties, and the collection of accounts receivable owed to the Company.

 

The Company does not currently believe that the resolution of any pending matters will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position or liquidity, but an adverse decision in more than one could be material to the Company’s consolidated results of operations.  No amounts were accrued with respect to proceedings as of June 30, 2015 and March 31, 2015, respectively as not probable or estimable.

Note 8 Bank Financing and Debt

 

Term Loan Credit Facility Opened in November 2014

 

On June 30, 2015, the Company entered into the Third Amendment to Amended and Restated Credit and Guaranty Agreement with various lenders and Garrison Loan Agency Services, LLC acting as agent. The agreement was amended to modify certain terms with respect to the timing of certain payments under the Credit Agreement. 

 

On May 11, 2015, the Company entered into a Consent and Second Amendment to Amended and Restated Credit and Guaranty Agreement with Garrison. Pursuant to the Amendment, among other things, (i) permission to add back certain balance sheet write-offs to Adjusted EBITDA (as defined) for the calculation of financial covenants, (ii) subject to lender approval the ability to add back certain restructuring, transaction fees and expenses and one-time charges not exceed $2.5 million to the calculation of financial covenants, (iii) the interest rate on the facility increased to LIBOR +11%, with a 1% LIBOR floor, (iv) the Company will pay an amendment fee equal to 200 basis points, (v) the Company agreed to provide Garrison with certain additional forecasts and updates regarding the Company’s liquidity and financial condition, and (vi) the Company is required to maintain a minimum of $1 million of unrestricted cash at all times. The interest rate on the Second Amended and Restated Credit Facility at June 30, 2015 was 12%. At June 30, 2015 we were in compliance with all covenants of the agreement, as amended.

 

On November 21, 2014, the Company entered into a five-year, $100 million Amended and Restated Credit and Guaranty Agreement with various lenders and Garrison Loan Agency Services, LLC (“Garrison”) acting as the agent (the “Amended and Restated Credit Facility”). Upon the closing of the Amended and Restated Credit Facility, $100 million was funded to the Company, less certain fees and costs. The principal amount of the loans provided under the Amended and Restated Credit Facility are subject to repayment through an annual excess cash sweep and will be amortized at a rate of 2.5% annually through September 30, 2015, a rate of 3.0% annually through September 30, 2016, a rate of 3.5% annually through September 30, 2017, a rate of 5.0% annually through the remaining term of the credit facility. The Amended and Restated Credit Facility replaced in its entirety the Company’s existing credit facility dated on July 9, 2014.

 

The Amended and Restated Credit Facility contains customary affirmative and negative covenants. The financial covenants include a limitation on capital expenditures, a minimum EBITDA level, a maximum fixed charge coverage ratio, and a maximum indebtedness to EBITDA ratio. The creation of indebtedness outside the credit facility, creation of liens, making of certain investments, sale of assets, and incurrence of debt are all either limited or require prior approval from Garrison and/or the other lenders under the Amended and Restated Credit Facility. This credit facility also contains customary events of default such as nonpayment, bankruptcy, and change in control, which if they occur may constitute an event of default. The Credit Facility is secured by a first priority security interest on substantially all of the Company’s assets.

 

Inventory Facility

 

On November 21, 2014, the Company entered into a secured revolving credit agreement with a client in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $3.5 million. The revolving credit agreement is secured by inventory ordered from approved suppliers and cash and receivables from the client’s customers, the interest rate charged was LIBOR plus 1.5%. At June 30, 2015 the facility had an outstanding balance of $2.4 million which is included in other current liabilities and an interest rate of 2.5%.

   

Letters of Credit

 

On April 14, 2011, the Company was released from the FUNimation office lease guaranty by providing a five-year, standby letter of credit for $1.5 million, which is reduced by $300,000 each subsequent year. The standby letter of credit can be drawn down, to the extent in default, if the full and prompt payment of the lease is not completed by FUNimation. No claims have been made against this financial instrument. There was no indication that FUNimation would not be able to pay the required future lease payments totaling $1.5 million and $1.6 million at June 30, 2015 and March 31, 2015, respectively. Therefore, at June 30, 2015 and March 31, 2015, the Company did not believe a future draw on the standby letter of credit was probable and an accrual related to any future obligation was not considered necessary at such times.

 

On August 8, 2014, the Company issued an irrevocable standby letter of credit for the benefit of the landlord of one of its facilities in the amount of $576,424, this standby letter of credit expires on August 8, 2015.

 

Note 9 Income Taxes

 

For the three months ended June 30, 2015, the Company recorded income tax expense from continuing operations of $208,000, compared to income tax expense from continuing operations of $54,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2014. The tax expense for the three months ended June 30, 2015 primarily related to the tax amortization of indefinite-lived goodwill for which a deferred tax liability must be recorded. The Company will continue to incur deferred tax expense in the future as tax amortization occurs. The effective income tax rate applied to continuing operations for the three months ended June 30, 2015 was a negative 16.2%, compared to a negative 1.6% for the three months ended June 30, 2014.

SPEED COMMERCE, INC.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

 

 

For the three months ended June 30, 2015, the Company recorded zero income tax expense from discontinued operations compared to income tax expense from discontinued operations of $3,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2014. The effective income tax rate applied to discontinued operations for the three months ended June 30, 2015 was a negative 0%, compared to a negative 0.1% for the three months ended June 30, 2014.

 

The Company does not consider any foreign earnings as permanently reinvested in foreign jurisdictions and records deferred tax liabilities for temporary differences related to its foreign operations.

 

Deferred tax assets are evaluated by considering historical levels of income, estimates of future taxable income streams and the impact of tax planning strategies. A valuation allowance is recorded to reduce deferred tax assets when it is determined that it is more likely than not, based on the weight of available evidence, the Company would not be able to realize all or part of its deferred tax assets. An assessment is required of all available evidence, both positive and negative, to determine the amount of any required valuation allowance.

 

As of June 30, 2015 and March 31, 2015, the Company had a valuation allowance of $54.0 million and $53.5 million has been recorded to offset net deferred tax assets of $52.6 million and $52.2 million, respectively. The net deferred tax assets before valuation allowance are composed of temporary differences, primarily related to net operating loss carryforwards, which will begin to expire in fiscal 2029. The Company also has foreign tax credit carryforwards which will begin to expire in 2016.

 

As of June 30, 2015 and March 31, 2015, the Company provided for a liability of $1.0 million and $1.0 million, respectively, for unrecognized tax benefits (excluding interest and penalties) related to various income tax matters, which was included in long-term deferred tax liabilities. 

 

The Company does not anticipate that the total unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change prior to March 31, 2016. 

 

Note 10 Shareholders’ Equity and Earnings (loss) Per Share

 

NASDAQ Delisting Notice

 

On April 6, 2015, the Company received written notice from NASDAQ Stock Market LLC notifying the Company that it is not in compliance with the minimum bid price requirements for continued listing on The NASDAQ Global Market. NASDAQ requires listed securities to maintain a minimum bid price of $1.00 per share, and NASDAQ rules provide that a failure to meet the minimum bid price requirement exists if the deficiency continues for a period of thirty consecutive business days. Based on the closing bid price of the Company’s common stock for the thirty consecutive business days prior to the date of the Notification Letter, the Company no longer meets the minimum bid price requirement. The Company has 180 calendar days, or until October 5, 2015, to regain compliance with NASDAQ listing requirements. To regain compliance, the bid price of the Company’s common stock must have a closing bid price of at least $1.00 per share for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days. In the event that the Company does not regain compliance by October 5, 2015, the Company may be eligible for additional time to reach compliance with the minimum bid price requirement.

 

The Company is currently considering available options to resolve its compliance with the minimum bid price requirement and to regain compliance with NASDAQ’s listing requirements. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to do so.

The Series B Warrants are exercisable beginning one year and one day from the date of issuance and will expire on the fifth anniversary of the date they first become exercisable.

As a result of the offering, the Series C warrants’ exercise price was reduced to $2.68 per common share and the conversion price of the Series D preferred stock was reduced to $1.19 per common share.

 

In connection of equity issuance, certain members of our executive management team and board of directors cancelled a total of 2,327,606 granted options. As a result, the Company recorded a non-cash $0.3 million reduction of stock compensation expense within general and adminsitrative expense in the statement of operations.

 

On June 30, 2015, shareholders approved an amendment to Speed Commerce, Inc.’s Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation increasing the number of authorized shares of common stock issuable from 100,000,000 to 200,000,000. 

 

In first quarter of 2016, we recognized $846,100 of gain for as fair value adjustment which is included in other income (expense) in our statement of operations for Series A, Series B and Series C Warrants.

 

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted loss per share (in thousands, except per share data):

Due to the Company’s net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, diluted loss per share excludes 2.9 million and 2.0 million, respectively, stock options and restricted stock awards because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive. The per share amounts also exclude the as-if conversion of the preferred stock and warrants as their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive for the three months ended June 30, 2015.

 

Note 11 Subsequent Events 

 

On July 2, 2015, the Company entered into a Fourth Amendment to the Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement was amended to: (i) remove a financial covenant requiring that the Company have a minimum amount of excess liquidity; and (ii) reduce the amount of certain interest payments scheduled to be made with respect to the quarterly periods ending on June 30, 2015 and September 30, 2015, with the amount of such reduction being added to the principal amount of the loans provided under the Credit Agreement.

 

On July 22, 2015, the Company entered into the Fifth Amendment to provide up to an additional $5 million of term loans of which $2 million were funded to the Company. The Company may request that the remaining $3 million to be funded between August 20, 2015 and December 23, 2015.

We are a leading provider of end-to-end e-commerce and fulfillment services to retailers and manufacturers. We provide web platform development and hosting, order management, fulfillment, logistics and contact center services which provide clients with easy to implement, cost-effective, transaction-based services and information management tools. We manage over 1.8 million square feet of fulfillment center space in Pennsylvania, Ohio, Missouri and Texas. Our facilities utilize advanced automation technology such as high-efficiency unit sortation, pick-to-pack conveyors and radio frequency (“RF”) scanning. We also operate four customer contact centers to enhance our clients’ brand experience. Our corporate headquarters and web development and technology operations are based in Dallas, Texas with the Fifth Gear operating administration located in Indianapolis, Indiana.

 

We offer an end-to-end outsourcing solution to our clients allowing them to have a single point of contact and integration for their E-commerce business and logistics management. We offer a flexible suite of services that allow us to customize our solutions and services to the needs of each client. The services to be provided and service levels for each client are defined by the terms of the written contract with each client. While we maintain client inventory at our fulfillment centers, we rarely own any of the inventory. Our earned revenue is based upon transaction fees earned from the services performed in accordance with the contract provisions. Recurring contract service elements are charged based upon the number of transactions processed and recognized as the services are performed. Upfront costs to onboard clients, including web site development, are deferred and recognized over the expected life of the relationship with the client.

 

Recent Events

 

In April 2015, we announced that our Board of Directors has initiated a process to explore and consider possible strategic alternatives for enhancing shareholder value. These alternatives could include, but are not limited to, a recapitalization or a sale or merger of the Company. The Board of Directors is overseeing this process and Stifel, Nicolaus & Company has been retained as financial and strategic advisor to the Company.

 

On April 16, 2015, we sold 13,035,713 shares of our common stock, Series A Warrants to purchase up to 7,776,784 shares of our common stock and Series B Warrants to purchase up to 2,000,000 shares of our common stock.

The Series A Warrants are exercisable on the one-year anniversary of the date of issuance and will expire on the fifth anniversary of the date they first become exercisable. The Series B Warrants are exercisable beginning one year and one day from the date of issuance and will expire on the fifth anniversary of the date they first become exercisable. The shares of common stock, the Series A Warrants and the Series B Warrants are immediately separable.

Working Capital and Capital Resources

 

Throughout fiscal 2015 and 2016 we have invested in a variety of growth initiatives for our e-commerce business, several e-commerce web sites for new clients, and expansion of our Ohio fulfillment center. We finance our operations through cash and cash equivalents, funds generated through operations, accounts payable and credit facility. The timing of required payments can significantly impact our working capital levels.

 

Our on-going liquidity is primarily affected by three factors: (i) interest and principal payments on our credit facility and other debt, (ii) cash flow from operations and (iii) our capital expenditures. In an effort to maintain our liquidity, we have delayed capital expenditures, reduced costs and fund the dividends for the convertible preferred stock through additional shares of preferred stock. We will continue to seek additional opportunities to reduce cash costs and/or complete a financing to provide additional liquidity.

Forward-Looking Statements / Risk Factors

 

We make written and oral statements from time to time regarding our business and prospects, such as projections of future performance, statements of management’s plans and objectives, forecasts of market trends, and other matters that are forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Statements containing the words or phrases “will likely result,” “are expected to,” “will continue,” “is anticipated,” “estimates,” “projects,” “believes,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “target,” “goal,” “plans,” “objective,” “should” or similar expressions identify forward-looking statements, which may appear in documents, reports, filings with the SEC, including this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, news releases, written or oral presentations made by officers or other representatives made by us to analysts, shareholders, investors, news organizations and others and discussions with management and other representatives. For such statements, we claim the protection of the safe harbor for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.

 

Our future results, including results related to forward-looking statements, involve a number of risks and uncertainties and you should not place undue reliance on these statements. No assurance can be given that the results reflected in any forward-looking statement will be achieved. Any forward-looking statement made by or on behalf of us speaks only as of the date on which such statement is made. Our forward-looking statements are based on assumptions that are sometimes based upon estimates, data, communications and other information from suppliers, government agencies and other sources that may be subject to revision. Except as required by law, we do not undertake any obligation to update or keep current either (i) any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances arising after the date of such statement, or (ii) the important factors that could cause our future results to differ materially from historical results or trends, results anticipated or planned by us, or which are reflected from time to time in any forward-looking statement which may be made by or on behalf of us.

  

In addition to other matters identified or described by us from time to time in filings with the SEC, there are several important factors that could cause our future results to differ materially from historical results or trends, results anticipated or planned by us, or results that are reflected from time to time in any forward-looking statement that may be made by or on behalf of us.

 

 
16

 

 

Some of these important factors, but not necessarily all important factors, include the following:

 

 

 

our service fee revenue and gross margin is dependent upon our clients’ business and transaction volumes and our costs;

 

 

 

 

  

we may incur significant expenditures to expand our business which may reduce our ability to achieve or maintain profitability;

 

 

 

 

 

technological developments, particularly software as a service application, electronic transfer and downloading could adversely impact sales, margins and results of operations;

 

 

 

 

 

our restructuring and integration efforts, may have unpredictable outcomes, including the possibility of us incurring additional restructuring charges;

 

 

 

 

 

the seasonality and variability in our business could adversely affect our results of operations;

 

 

 

 

 

the divestiture of our distribution business could result in post-transaction payments and adjustments;

 

 

 

 

 

our ability to meet our significant working capital requirements or if working capital requirements change significantly;

     

 

 

our ability to identify or complete any potential strategic transaction;

     

 

 

certain of our contracts are terminable at will or contain penalty provisions;

     

 

 

we may incur financial penalties if we fail to meet contractual service levels under client service agreements;

 

 

 

 

 

the expected benefits of our acquisitions may not be realized, and the indemnification obligations owed to us in connection with that transaction may be insufficiently supported;

 

 

 

 

 

future acquisitions or divestitures could disrupt business, including the potential failure of successfully integrating future-acquired companies;

 

 

 

 

 

our ability to use net operating loss carryforwards to reduce future tax payments may be limited; and

 

 

 

 

 

our e-commerce business has inherent cybersecurity risks that may disrupt our business.

 

A detailed statement of risks and uncertainties is contained in our reports to the SEC, including, in particular, our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2015 and other public filings and disclosures. Investors and shareholders are urged to read these documents carefully.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

We consider our critical accounting policies to be those related to revenue recognition, allowance for doubtful accounts, goodwill and intangible assets, impairment of long-lived assets, share-based compensation, income taxes, and contingencies and litigation. There have been no material changes to these critical accounting policies as discussed in greater detail under this heading in Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2015.

Results from Continuing Operations

 

Three Months Ended June 30, 2015 compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2014

 

Net Revenue

 

Net revenue was $34.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015 compared to $22.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014, an increase of $12.3 million, or 55.7%. The increase was primarily attributable to our Fifth Gear acquisition, offset by a decrease in freight service revenue and the departure of a significant client.

 

Cost of Revenue

 

Cost of revenue was $25.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015 compared to $17.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014, an increase of $8.4 million, or 48.6%. The increase was primarily due to our Fifth Gear acquisition and higher operating costs in our Ohio fulfillment center.

 

Operating Expenses

  

Selling and marketing expenses were $0.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015 compared to $1.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014, a decrease of $0.4 million, or 40.0%. The decrease was primarily attributable to decrease in the marketing programs for the introduction of SARA, our pre-configured accelerator for Oracle Commerce for mid-size e-commerce retailers.

 

General and administrative expenses were $5.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015 compared to $3.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014, an increase of $1.3 million, or 34.2%. The increase was primarily due to incremental Fifth Gear’s expenses. General and administrative expenses consisted principally of executive, accounting and administrative personnel and related expenses, including professional fees.

 

Information technology expenses were $1.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015 compared to $0.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014, an increase of $0.7 million or 87.5%. The increase was primarily attributable to our Fifth Gear acquisition and personnel growth in IT infrastructure.

 

Depreciation and amortization expenses were $3.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015 compared to $1.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014, an increase of $1.4 million or 77.8%. The increase was primarily attributable to amortization of our intangible assets and newly acquired intangible assets from our Fifth Gear acquisition.

 

Interest expense, net 

 

Interest expense was $2.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015 compared to expense of $0.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014, an increase of $2.1 million or 420.0%. The increase principally reflected higher average debt balances as a result of the refinancing of the credit facility.

 

Consolidated Income Tax Expense or Benefit from Continuing Operations for All Periods

 

For the three months ended June 30, 2015, we recorded income tax expense from continuing operations of $208,000, compared to income tax expense from continuing operations of $54,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2014. The tax expense for the three months ended June 30, 2015 primarily related to the tax amortization of indefinite-lived goodwill for which a deferred tax liability must be recorded. We will continue to incur deferred tax expense in the future as tax amortization occurs. The effective income tax rate applied to continuing operations for the three months ended June 30, 2015 was a negative 16.2%, compared to a negative 1.6% for the three months ended June 30, 2014.

 

For the three months ended June 30, 2015, we recorded zero income tax expense from discontinued operations compared to income tax expense from discontinued operations of $3,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2014. The effective income tax rate applied to discontinued operations for the three months ended June 30, 2015 was a negative 0%, compared to a negative 0.1% for the three months ended June 30, 2014.

 

Deferred tax assets are evaluated by considering historical levels of income, estimates of future taxable income streams and the impact of tax planning strategies. A valuation allowance is recorded to reduce deferred tax assets when it is determined that it is more likely than not, based on the weight of available evidence, we would not be able to realize all or part of our deferred tax assets. An assessment is required of all available evidence, both positive and negative, to determine the amount of any required valuation allowance.

Market Risk

 

At June 30, 2015, we had $97.5 million of indebtedness subject to interest rate fluctuations. As such, a 100-basis point change in the current LIBOR rate would have a $975,000 impact on our annual interest expense.

 

Seasonality and Inflation

 

Quarterly operating results are affected by the seasonality of our business. Specifically, our third quarter (October 1-December 31) typically accounts for our largest quarterly revenue figures and a substantial portion of our earnings. As a provider of services to retailers, our business is affected by the pattern of seasonality common to other suppliers of retailers, particularly during the holiday selling season. Poor economic or weather conditions during this period could negatively affect our operating results. Inflation is not expected to have a significant impact on our business, financial condition or results of operations since we can generally offset the impact of inflation through a combination of productivity gains and price increases.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Cash Flow Analysis

 

Operating Activities

  

Cash flows used in operating activities during the three months ended June 30, 2015 were $5.5 million and were primarily impacted by the following:

 

 

Non-cash charges of $0.4 million, including depreciation and amortization of $3.2 million, which increased due to amortization of our intangible assets and newly acquired intangible assets from our Fifth Gear acquisition, amortization of debt issuance cost of $63,000 and decrease income tax of $0.2 million, offset by a decrease in fair value of liabilities of $3.0 million;

 

Accounts receivable increased $0.2 million, resulting from the timing of invoices to clients;

 

Inventory increased $0.4 million, primarily resulting from the timing of purchases;

 

Prepaid expenses increased $0.5 million, primarily from timing of annual insurance renewals;

 

Accounts payable decreased $5.1 million, primarily as a result of timing of payments and purchases; and

 

Accrued expenses increased by $2.2 million, primarily as a result of deferred revenues for up-front fees for new clients.

 

Cash flows provided by operating activities during the three months ended June 30, 2014 were $13.0 million and were primarily impacted by the following:

 

 

Non-cash charges of $2.5 million, including depreciation and amortization of $1.9 million, share-based compensation of $0.4 million, and an increase in deferred income taxes of 0.2 million;

 

Accounts receivable decreased $2.6 million, resulting from the improvement in client collections;

 

Prepaid expenses increased $0.4 million, primarily from timing of annual insurance renewals;

 

Other assets increased $3.6 million, primarily due to additional deferred project costs for in-process client development;

 

Accounts payable decreased $3.0 million, primarily as a result of timing of payments and purchases; and

 

Accrued expenses increased by $3.7 million, primarily as a result of deferred revenues for up-front fees for new clients.

 

Investing Activities

19

 

 

Financing Activities

 

Cash flows provided by financing activities totaled $5.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015. In first quarter of fiscal 2016, we received $6.8 million in net proceeds from our April 2016 equity offering, offset by a $1.3 million principal payment on our long-term debt and $0.5 million payments in other financing activities.

  

Cash flows used in financing activities totaled $10.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014. In first quarter of fiscal 2015, we received $9.9 million in net proceeds from the issuance of 3,333,333 shares of convertible preferred stock, Series C, and we had net payment to the revolving line of credit of $20.3 million

 

Discontinued Operations

 

Net cash flows used in discontinued operations were $0.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and consisted of $0.2 million of cash flows used in operating activities.

 

Net cash flows provided by discontinued operations were $14.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and consisted of $14.8 million of cash flows provided by operating activities, and $32,000 of cash flows used in investing activities.

 

Capital Resources

 

Credit Facility

 

On November 21, 2014, the Company entered into a five-year, $100 million Amended and Restated Credit and Guaranty Agreement with various lenders and Garrison Loan Agency Services, LLC acting as the agent (the "Credit Agreement"). The principal amount of the loans provided under the Credit Agreement are subject to repayment through an annual excess cash sweep and will be amortized at a rate of 2.5% annually through September 30, 2015, a rate of 3.0% annually through September 30, 2016, a rate of 3.5% annually through September 30, 2017, a rate of 5.0% annually through the remaining term of the credit facility.

 

On May 11, 2015, the Company entered into a Consent and Second Amendment to the Credit Agreement. Pursuant to the Amendment, among other things, (i) permission to add back certain balance sheet write-offs to Adjusted EBITDA (as defined) for the calculation of financial covenants, (ii) subject to lender approval the ability to add back certain restructuring, transaction fees and expenses and one-time charges not exceed $2.5 million to the calculation of financial covenants, (iii) the interest rate on the facility increased to LIBOR +11%, with a 1% LIBOR floor, (iv) the Company will pay an amendment fee equal to 200 basis points, (v) the Company agreed to provide Garrison with certain additional forecasts and updates regarding the Company’s liquidity and financial condition, and (vi) the Company is required to maintain a minimum of $1 million of unrestricted cash at all times. The interest rate on Second Amended and Restated Credit Facility at June 30, 2015 was 12%.

 

On June 30, 2015, the Company entered into the Third Amendment to the Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement was amended to modify certain terms with respect to the timing of certain payments. 

 

On July 2, 2015, the Company entered into a Fourth Amendment to the Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement was amended to: (i) remove a financial covenant requiring that the Company have a minimum amount of excess liquidity; and (ii) reduce the amount of certain interest payments scheduled to be made with respect to the quarterly periods ending on June 30, 2015 and September 30, 2015, with the amount of such reduction being added to the principal amount of the loans provided under the Credit Agreement.

 

On July 22, 2015, the Company entered into the Fifth Amendment to the Credit Agreement to provide up to an additional $5 million of term loans of which $2 million were funded to the Company. The Company may request that the remaining $3 million to be funded between August 20, 2015 and December 23, 2015.

 

Liquidity

 

We finance our operations through cash and cash equivalents, funds generated through operations and our Term Loan. During the last twelve months, we have not had any significant changes in the terms extended to customers or provided by vendors which would have a material impact on the reported financial statements.

 

We have invested in variety of growth initiatives for our e-commerce business including the acquisition of Fifth Gear in November 2014, several e-commerce web sites for new clients, and expansion of our Ohio fulfillment center. We finance our operations through cash and cash equivalents, funds generated through operations, accounts payable and credit facility. The timing of required payments can significantly impact our working capital levels.

 

As of March 31, 2015, we recorded impairment of goodwill and intangible assets of $18.8 million as result of decline in market value and other factors. In addition we recognized charges of $11.8 million for client projects that had become unprofitable as contractual site requirements required significantly more customization programming than anticipated

 

In April 2015, we announced that our Board of Directors has initiated a process to explore and consider possible strategic alternatives for enhancing shareholder value. These alternatives could include, but are not limited to, a recapitalization or a sale or merger of the Company. The Board of Directors is overseeing this process and Stifel, Nicolaus & Company has been retained as financial and strategic advisor to the Company.

In April 2015, we entered into agreements with investors for a registered direct offering of 13,035,713 shares of our common stock and warrants to purchase up to 9,776,784 shares of our common stock at a combined public offering price of $0.56 per share and related warrants for total gross proceeds of $7.3 million. The warrants have an exercise price of $0.56 per share.

 

In May 2015, as described above, we amended our Credit Agreement which modified certain covenant calculations, imposed additional reporting requirements, requires us to maintain $ 1 million in available cash and cash equivalents at all times and increased the interest rate for the credit facility from LIBOR plus 7.5% to LIBOR plus 11%.

 

We continually monitor our actual and forecasted cash flows, our liquidity and our capital resources. We plan for potential fluctuations in accounts receivable and payment of obligations to creditors and unbudgeted business activities that may arise during the year as a result of changing business conditions or new opportunities. In addition to working capital needs for the general and administrative costs of our ongoing operations, we have cash requirements for among other things: (1) on-boarding expenditures for new clients including web site deployment and fulfillment center capacity investment; (2) equipment needs for our operations; (3) legal disputes and contingencies; and (4) asset or company acquisitions.

  

In April 2015, we announced that our Board of Directors has initiated a process to explore and consider possible strategic alternatives for enhancing shareholder value. These alternatives could include, but are not limited to, a recapitalization or a sale or merger of the Company. The Board of Directors is overseeing this process and Stifel, Nicolaus & Company has been retained as financial and strategic advisor to the Company. There can be no assurance as to if or when, we will finalize a strategic transaction.

 

We may review from time to time possible expansion and acquisition opportunities relating to our business. The timing, size or success of any acquisition effort and the associated potential capital commitments are unpredictable. We may seek to fund all or part of any such efforts with proceeds from debt and/or equity issuances. Debt or equity financing may not, however, be available to us at that time due to a variety of events, including, among others, credit rating agency downgrades of our debt, industry conditions, general economic conditions, market conditions and market perceptions of us and our industry.
