Note 1 Organization and Basis of Presentation and Going Concern

 

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.

 

  The cash currently available to the Company is not sufficient to support the Company’s operations other than for a limited period. As a result, the Company may be required in the near future to cease operations or explore other legal options. The value of the Company’s assets and management’s projections with respect to discounted future cash flows indicate that the Company’s value is less than the current balance of the Company’s debt. As a result, the Company believes, based on current circumstances, that there is no value in the Company’s equity. Due to financial condition and lack of remedies available to the Company, management of the Company has concluded that there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. 

 

The Company is in default of the terms of the Amended and Restated Credit and Guaranty Agreement dated as of November 21, 2014, by and among the Company and Garrison Loan Agency Services LLC, as Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent, and the lenders from time to time party thereto (collectively, the “Lenders”), as amended (the “Credit Agreement”). The Company has not received a waiver of this default of the Credit Agreement and it is unable to cure this default. 

 

The Company and the Lenders entered into a Forbearance Agreement dated December 16, 2015 (the “Forbearance Agreement”) indicating that the Company’s Lenders would refrain from exercising their respective rights or remedies under the Credit Agreement, or otherwise, in respect of this default for 45 days, or until January 30, 2016. The term of the Forbearance Agreement has since expired and the Company anticipates that the Lenders will exercise their rights and remedies under the Amended and Restated Credit and Guaranty Agreement in the immediate future, including, but not limited to, acceleration of all debt obligations under the Credit Agreement.

 

As the Company disclosed in that certain Current Report on Form 8-K filed on April 16, 2015, it has been engaged in a process of exploring strategic alternatives, including a sale of the Company. The Company engaged Stifel to serve as its financial and strategic advisor in connection with this exploration of strategic alternatives and that process continued through the end of calendar 2015. This process resulted in the Company receiving a number of preliminary offers for it to be acquired; however, the consideration offered in each of those preliminary offers was below the level of the Company’s secured debt. Accordingly, it does not appear that it will be possible for the Company to effect a transaction that will allow it to repay its debt under the Credit Agreement.

 

The Credit Agreement is secured by all of the assets of the Company. The Company does not have cash to repay its obligations under the Credit Agreement and the value of the assets securing the Credit Agreement is less than the amount of the Company’s obligations under the Credit Agreement. 

  

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 and nine month periods ended December 31, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2016. For further information, particularily associated with risks of the business, 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, 2018, and early application is permitted beginning April 1, 2017. The standard permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. We are 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 has concluded that based on its inability to remedy its events of default of its Credit Agreement and lack of financial liquidity that there is substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern.

Notes to Consolidated 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 as all debt issuance costs were charged to expense during the quarter ended December 31, 2015.

 

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.

 

A gain of $0.0 million and $2.2 million were recognized for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2015 related to the contingent earn out obligation. The gain was included in other income (expense) in our statement of operations recorded under the liability method. The Company issued 8.4 million shares, valued at $2.3 million, to the Sellers during the quarter ended September 30, 2015 to fully settle the earn out obligation.

 

The original 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:

       

Accounts receivable

  $ 5,175  

Inventory

    1,190

Aggregate amortization expense for the three months ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 was $3.3 million and $1.1 million, respectively. Aggregate amortization expense for the nine months ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 was $7.3 million and $2.8 million, respectively. Aggregate amortization for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2015, includes $0.8 million of expense for internal-use software to be abandoned.

 

Impairment of Definite Lived Assets

 

Long-lived assets, such as property and equipment and amortized intangible assets are evaluated for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. During the quarter ended December 31, 2015, the Company identified indicators of impairment including the forbearance agreement with its secured facility leaders, negative stockholder equity and potential delisting of the Company’s common stock, and continuation of liquidity issues associated with its ability to repay its debt as scheduled and maintain compliance with its financial covenants. Accordingly, an impairment loss of $35.3 million was recorded within the statement of operations as part of goodwill and intangible impairment charge. The impairment charge reduced property and equipment by $12.3 million, customer relationship intangibles by $19.5 million, internal use software by $3.0 million, developed technology intangible by $0.4 million and domain name intangible by $49,000.

 

Impairment of Goodwill, Indefinite Lived Intangible Assets

 

The Company estimates the fair value using various valuation techniques, with the primary technique being a discounted cash flow analysis. A discounted cash flow analysis requires the Company to make various assumptions about sales, operating margins, growth rates and discount rates. Assumptions about discount rates are based on a weighted-average cost of capital derived from observable market inputs and comparable company data. Assumptions about sales, operating margins, and growth rates are based on management’s forecasts, business plans, economic projections, anticipated future cash flows and marketplace data. Assumptions are also made for varying perpetual growth rates for periods beyond the long-term business plan period.

 

During the second quarter of fiscal 2016, the Company identified potential indicators of impairment including its declining price per share of common stock and issues with its ability to repay its debt as scheduled and maintain compliance with its financial covenants. Therefore, the Company performed Step 2 assessments of its goodwill and intangible assets using widely-accepted valuation techniques and recorded impairment charges reducing goodwill and trademarks by $16.6 million and $0.7 million, respectively as of September 30, 2015. The impairment charges related to SCC were $13.3 million and Fifth Gear were $4.0 million.

 

During the third quarter of fiscal 2016, the Company identified further indicators of impairment including the forbearance agreement with its secured facility leaders, negative stockholder equity and potential delisting of the Company’s common stock, and continuation of liquidity issues associated with its ability to repay its debt as scheduled and maintain compliance with its financial covenants. Therefore, the Company performed Step 2 assessments of indefinite lived assets including goodwill and trademarks using widely-accepted valuation techniques and recorded impairment charges reducing goodwill and trademarks by $18.0 million and $1.1 million, respectively as of December 31, 2015. The impairment charges related to SCC were $1.1 million and Fith Gear were $18.0 million.

The reduction in the value of the note receivable of $1.4 million was recognized as of September 30, 2015 as a Type I subsequent event. Accordingly, the Company reduced the value of the note receivable, which was included as a long-term other asset, to zero and recognized a loss on sale of discontinued operations in the statement of operations of $1.4 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2015.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

 

In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015, the Company recorded a provision for anticipated losses on contracts of SCC’s web development only client projects of $5.3 million based upon contractual site requirements that required significantly more customization programming than anticipated. Several of SCC’s web development only client projects had become unprofitable. As of December 31, 2015 the remaining total provision was $1.7 million, which includes a $1.4 million reduction in the liability due to changes in estimates of losses as certain projects were completed sooner than originally estimated.

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 December 31, 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 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 prior credit facility dated July 9, 2014.

 

On May 8, 2015, the Company entered into a Consent and Second Amendment to Amended and Restated Credit Facility. Pursuant to the Amendment, among other things, (i) the Company obtained 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 Company obtained the ability to add back certain restructuring, transaction fees and expenses and one-time charges not to 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 agreed to 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 September 30, 2015 was 12%. 

 

On June 30, 2015, the Company entered into the Third Amendment to the Amended and Restated Credit Facility to modify certain terms with respect to the timing of certain payments under the Credit Agreement.

 

 On July 2, 2015, the Company entered into the Fourth Amendment to the Amended and Restated Credit Facility. 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 facility.

  

On July 22, 2015, the Company entered into the Fifth Amendment to the Amended and Restated Credit Facility to provide up to an additional $5 million of term loans of which $2 million were funded to the Company. The remaining $3 million were funded to the Company on August 20, 2015.

SPEED COMMERCE, INC.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

 

On September 17, 2015, the Company entered into the Sixth Amendment to the Amended and Restated Credit Facility to delete certain non-financial covenants and to waive any defaults by the Company.

 

On October 6, 2015, the Company entered into the Seventh Amendment to the Amended and Restated Credit Facility to provide up to an additional $3 million of term loans as requested by the Company at any time prior to December 23, 2015. The Company was funded $3.0 million during the term of the Seventh Amendment The financial terms are generally consistent with those of the existing borrowings provided to the Company under the credit agreement.

 

On November 16, 2015, the Company entered into the Eighth Amendment to the Amended and Restated Credit Facility to provide a waiver of the company failure to comply with certain financial covenants at the period ending September 30, 2015, and to incorporate a new covenant requiring that the Company enter into a definitive agreement to sell all or substantially all of the Company’s business on terms agreeable to the lenders under the credit facility by not later than December 11, 2015.

 

On November 20, 2015, the Company entered into the Ninth Amendment to Amended and Restated Credit and Guaranty Facility to provide that the Company may, at the discretion of the administrative agent under the Credit Agreement, receive up to $10 million of additional term loans as protective advances pursuant to Section 9.9 of the Credit Agreement, regardless of whether the Company is then in default under the terms of the Credit Agreement. The financial terms of the Protective Advances, if any are provided to the Company, would be provided on terms that are consistent with those of the existing borrowings provided to the Company pursuant to the credit agreement.

 

On December 9, 2015 the Company entered into the Tenth Amendment to Amended and Restated Credit and Guaranty Facility to provide the Company with an additional $2.1 million of term loans, which were fully funded to the Company as of the date of the Tenth Amendment. The financial terms of such additional term loans are generally consistent with those of the Company’s existing borrowings under the credit agreement.

 

On December 16, 2015, the Company entered into a Forbearance Agreement with Garrison to the Company's Amended and Restated Credit and Guaranty Agreement (the “Forbearance Agreement”), in connection with the Company’s failure to comply with a covenant under the Credit Agreement.

 

On December 23, 2015, the Company entered into the Eleventh Amendment to Amended and Restated Credit Facility to provide the Company with an additional $1.0 million of term loans, which were fully funded to the Company as of the date of the Eleventh Amendment. The financial terms of such additional term loans are generally consistent with those of the Company’s existing borrowings under the credit agreement. As of December 31, 2015, the Company borrowed a total of $3.1 million in protective advances.

 

 Under the terms of the Forbearance Agreement, the Company’s Lenders will refrain from exercising any rights or remedies that they may have under the Credit Agreement, or otherwise, in respect of the Company's default under the terms of the Credit Agreement for 45 days, or until January 30, 2016, unless a breach of the Forbearance Agreement occurs prior to such date. If the Forbearance Agreement should be breached, or is not extended, the Company’s Lenders would then be entitled to exercise any of their rights under the Credit Agreement, including, but not limited to, the acceleration of all debt obligations under the Credit Agreement. The term of the Forbearance Agreement has since expired and the Company anticipates that the Lenders will exercise their rights and remedies under the Amended and Restated Credit and Guaranty Agreement in the immediate future, including, but not limited to, acceleration of all debt obligations under the Credit Agreement.

 

Due to uncertainties in the Company’s ability to determine whether or not it will be able to meet loan covenants, the entire balance owed under the credit facility has been reclassified as a current liability in accompanying consolidated balance sheet.

 

The Company does not anticipate that it will be able to cure, or receive a waiver of, this default under its Credit Agreement. Further, based on the Company’s exploration of strategic alternatives, it does not anticipate that a transaction will be available to it that would result in the repayment of the Company’s debt pursuant to the Credit Agreement.

 

In addition to the covenants discussed above, 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. See also Note 11 Subsequent Events. 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 December 31, 2015 the facility had an outstanding balance of $1.1 million which is included in other current liabilities and an interest rate of 2.75%.

   

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 $1.2 million and $1.6 million at December 31, 2015 and March 31, 2015, respectively. Therefore, at December 31, 2015 and March 31, 2015, the Company did not believe a future draw on the standby letter of credit was probable.

 

The Company has 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, 2017.

 

Note 9 Income Taxes

 

For the three months ended December 31, 2015, the Company recorded income tax benefit from continuing operations of $396,000, compared to income tax expense from continuing operations of $(170,000) for the three months ended December 31, 2014. The tax benefit for the three months ended December 31, 2015 primarily relates to the deferred tax benefits recognized as a result of the impairment of indefinite-lived intangible assets. The effective income tax rate applied to continuing operations for the three months ended December 31, 2015 was 0.01%, compared to a negative 2.4% for the three months ended December 31, 2014.

 

For the nine months ended December, 2015, the Company recorded income tax benefit from continuing operations of $862,000, compared to income tax expense from continuing operations of $(343,000) for the nine months ended December 31, 2014. The effective income tax rate applied to continuing operations for the nine months ended December 31, 2015 was 0.9%, compared to a negative 0.2% for the nine months ended September 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 December 31, 2015 and March 31, 2015, the Company had a valuation allowance of $87.0 million and $53.5 million has been recorded to offset net deferred tax assets of $86.7 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 December 31, 2015 and March 31, 2015, the Company provided for a liability of $1.5 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 was 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 mets the minimum bid price requirement.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

 

On October 6, 2015, the Company received approval from NASDAQ to transfer the listing of its common stock from the NASDAQ Global Market to the NASDAQ Capital market. This transfer was effective upon the opening of business on October 8, 2015. Following the transfer of its listing, the Company was granted an additional 180-day grace period to regain compliance with the NASDAQ's $1.00 minimum bid price requirement. To regain compliance and qualify for continued listing on the NASDAQ Capital Market, the minimum bid price per share of the Company’s common stock must be at least $1.00 for at least ten consecutive business days during the additional 180-day grace period, which ends on April 4, 2016. If the Company fails to regain compliance during this grace period, its common stock will be subject to delisting by NASDAQ.

 

On November 24, 2015, the Company received written notice from NASDAQ that it was not in compliance with the minimum stockholders’ equity requirements for continued listing on The NASDAQ Capital Market, which requires the issuing company of listed securities to maintain a minimum stockholders’ equity of $2.5 million. The reported stockholders’ equity for the period ending September 30, 2015 did not meet this minimum requirement. Further, the Company did not meet any of the alternatives to the minimum stockholder’s equity standard for continued listing requirements.

 

On January 12, 2016, the Company received a notification letter from NASDAQ indicating that it would delist and suspend trading in the Company’s shares effective at the open of business on Thursday, January 21, 2016. On January 21, 2016, the Company’s common stock was suspended from the NASDAQ Capital Market, and currently trades on the OTC Markets Group’s OTC Pink market under the trading symbol SPDC. The Company anticipates that NASDAQ will file with the Securities and Exchange Commission a Form 25 Notification of Removal of Listing and/or Registration under Section 12(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 with respect to the Company’s common stock on February 17, 2016. The Company’s common stock will be delisted from NASDAQ ten (10) calendar days from the date the Form 25 is filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

 

Stock and Warrant Offering

 

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. Each share of our common stock was sold together with 0.597 of a Series A Warrant to purchase one share of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.56 per share and 0.153 of a Series B Warrant to purchase one share of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.56 per share. The Company received net proceeds of $6.8 million. The Series A Warrants are exercisable on the one-year anniversary of the date of issuance 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. Based on fair value allocation $2.0 million of the proceeds from the stock offering were assigned to the warrants and included in other current liabilities. The warrants are accounted for as liability awards and subject to mark-to-market accounting.

 

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 administrative 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. 

 

During the quarter ended December 31, 2015, the holders of the Series D Preferred Shares converted all preferred shares outstanding in exchange for 8,991,299 shares of the Company’s common stock. The total transaction value was $8.9 million, including $0.1 million of interest accrued during the quarter ended December 31, 2015 prior to conversion. The Company recorded the transaction as a non-cash transaction between its Common Stock and Series D Preferred Stock accounts.

 

For the nine months ended December 31, 2015, we recognized $1.4 million of gain as fair value adjustments which is included in other income (expense) in our statement of operations for Series A, Series B and Series C Warrants.

Due to the Company’s net loss for the three months ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, diluted loss per share excludes 1.7 million and 3.3 million, respectively, stock options and restricted stock awards because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive. Due to the Company’s net loss for the nine months ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, diluted loss per share excludes 2.1 million and 2.6 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, prior to conversion to common stock, and warrants as their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive for the three months ended December 31, 2015.

 

Note 11 Subsequent Events 

 

 On January 12, 2016, the Company received a notification letter from NASDAQ indicating that it would delist and suspend trading in the Company’s shares effective at the open of business on Thursday, January 21, 2016. On January 21, 2016, the Company’s common stock was suspended from the NASDAQ Capital Market, and currently trades on the OTC Markets Group’s OTC Pink market under the trading symbol SPDC. The Company anticipates that NASDAQ will file with the Securities and Exchange Commission a Form 25 Notification of Removal of Listing and/or Registration under Section 12(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 with respect to the Company’s common stock on February 17, 2016. The Company’s common stock will be delisted from NASDAQ ten (10) calendar days from the date the Form 25 is filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

 

The Credit Agreement is secured by all of the assets of the Company. The Company does not have cash to repay its obligations under the Credit Agreement and the value of the assets securing the Credit Agreement is less than the amount of the Company’s obligations under the Credit Agreement.

 

The cash currently available to the Company is not sufficient to support the Company’s operations other than for a limited period. As a result, the Company may be required in the near future to cease operations or explore other legal options. The value of the Company’s assets and management’s projections with respect to discounted future cash flows indicate that the Company’s value is less than the current balance of the Company’s debt. As a result, the Company believes, based on current circumstances, that there is no value in the Company’s equity. Due to the financial condition and lack of remedies available to the Company, management of the Company has concluded that there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

The term of the Company’s Forbearance Agreement with Garrison expired as of January 30, 2016 and the Forbearance Agreement is not expected to be extended or otherwise reinstated. The Company anticipates that the Lenders will exercise their rights and remedies under the Amended and Restated Credit and Guaranty Agreement in the immediate future, including, but not limited to, acceleration of all debt obligations under the Credit Agreement.

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 / Working Capital and Capital Resources

 

During the quarter ended December 31, 2015, the holders of the Series D Preferred Shares converted all preferred shares outstanding in exchange for 8,991,299 shares of the Company’s common stock. The Company received no consideration in connection with the conversions.

 

 The cash currently available to the Company is not sufficient to support the Company’s operations other than for a limited period. As a result, the Company may be required in the near future to cease operations or explore other legal options. The value of the Company’s assets and management’s projections with respect to discounted future cash flows indicate that the Company’s value is less than the current balance of the Company’s debt. As a result, the Company believes, based on current circumstances, that there is no value in the Company’s equity. Due to the financial condition and lack of remedies available to the Company, management of the Company has concluded that there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

On December 16, 2015, the Company entered into a Forbearance Agreement (the “Forbearance Agreement”) with Garrison Loan Agency Services, LLC (“Garrison”) in connection with the Company's failure to comply with a covenant under its Amended and Restated Credit and Guaranty Agreement with various lenders and Garrison, as administrative agent and collateral agent (the “Credit Agreement”)

 

 Under the terms of the Forbearance Agreement, the Company’s Lenders agreed to refrain from exercising any rights or remedies that they may have under the Credit Agreement, or otherwise, in respect of the Company's default under the terms of the Credit Agreement for 45 days, or until January 30, 2016. The term of the Forbearance Agreement expired as of January 30, 2016. The term of the Forbearance Agreement has since expired and the Company anticipates that the Lenders will exercise their rights and remedies under the Amended and Restated Credit and Guaranty Agreement in the immediate future, including, but not limited to, acceleration of all debt obligations under the Credit Agreement.

 

As the Company disclosed in that certain Current Report on Form 8-K filed on April 16, 2015, it has been engaged in a process of exploring strategic alternatives, including a sale of the Company. The Company engaged Stifel to serve as its financial and strategic advisor in connection with this exploration of strategic alternatives and that process continued through the end of calendar 2015. This process resulted in the Company receiving a number of preliminary offers for it to be acquired; however, the consideration offered in each of those preliminary offers was below the level of the Company’s secured debt. Accordingly, it does not appear that it will be possible for the Company to effect a transaction that will allow it to repay its debt under the Credit Agreement. 

 

The Credit Agreement is secured by all of the assets of the Company. The Company does not have cash to repay its obligations under the Credit Agreement and the value of the assets securing the Credit Agreement is less than the amount of the Company’s obligations under the Credit Agreement.

 

On January 12, 2016, the Company received a notification letter from NASDAQ indicating that it would delist and suspend trading in the Company’s shares effective at the open of business on Thursday, January 21, 2016. On January 21, 2016, the Company’s common stock was suspended from trading on the NASDAQ Capital Market and currently trades on the OTC Markets Group’s OTC Pink market under the trading symbol SPDC. The Company anticipates that NASDAQ will file with the Securities and Exchange Commission a Form 25 Notification of Removal of Listing and/or Registration under Section 12(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 with respect to the Company’s common stock on February 17, 2016. The Company’s common stock will be delisted from NASDAQ ten (10) calendar days from the date the Form 25 is filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

 

Impairment of Definite Lived Assets and Goodwill, Indefinite Lived Intangible Assets

 

During the quarter ended December 31, 2015, the Company identified indicators of impairment including the forbearance agreement with its secured facility leaders, negative stockholder equity and potential delisting of the Company’s common stock, and continuation of liquidity issues associated with its ability to repay its debt as scheduled and maintain compliance with its financial covenants. Accordingly, an impairment loss of $35.3 million was recorded within the statement of operations as part of goodwill and intangible impairment charge. The impairment charge reduced property and equipment by $12.3 million, customer relationship intangibles by $19.5 million, internal use software by $3.0 million, developed technology intangible by $0.4 million and domain name intangible by $49,000.

 

During the third quarter of fiscal 2016, the Company identified further indicators of impairment including the forbearance agreement with its secured facility leaders, negative stockholder equity and potential delisting of the Company’s common stock, and continuation of liquidity issues associated with its ability to repay its debt as scheduled and maintain compliance with its financial covenants. Therefore, the Company performed Step 2 assessments of indefinite lived assets including goodwill and trademarks using widely-accepted valuation techniques and recorded impairment charges reducing goodwill and trademarks by $18.0 million and $1.1 million, respectively as of December 31, 2015. The impairment charges related to SCC were $1.1 million and Fith Gear were $18.0 million.

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.

 

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

 

  the cash currently available to the Company is not sufficient to support the Company’s operations other than for a limited period. As a result, the Company may be required in the near future to cease operations or explore other legal options. The value of the Company’s assets and management’s projections with respect to discounted future cash flows indicate that the Company’s value is less than the current balance of the Company’s debt. As a result, the Company believes, based on current circumstances, that there is no value in the Company’s equity. Due to the Company’s current financial condition and lack of remedies available to the Company, management of the Company has concluded that there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern;
     
  we are in default under our Amended and Restated Credit Facility and our Forbearance Agreement with our Lenders in connection with such default has expired and is not expected to be extended or otherwise reinstated. We expect the Lenders will, in the immediate future, exercise their rights under the Amended and Restated Credit Facility, including, but not limited to acceleration of all debt obligations under the Amended and Restated Credit Facility;

 

 

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;

 

 
19

 

 

 

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;

 

 

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, as amended by Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-K/A filed December 1, 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, as amended by Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-K/A filed December 1, 2015.

Results from Continuing Operations

 

Three Months Ended December 31, 2015 compared to Three Months Ended December 31, 2014

 

Net Revenue

 

Net revenue was $33.5 million for the three months ended December 30, 2015 compared to $38.3 million for the three months ended December 31, 2014, a decrease of $4.8 million, or 12.5%. The decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease in freight service revenue and the departure of a significant client.

Cost of Revenue

 

Cost of revenue was $32.5 million for the three months ended December 31, 2015 compared to $29.2 million for the three months ended December 31, 2014, an increase of $3.3 million, or 11.3%. The increase was primarily due to our Fifth Gear acquisition and higher operating costs in our Ohio fulfillment center. The cost of revenue for the three months ended December 31, 2015 included $2.0 million in credits to clients. The cost of revenue for the three months ended December 31, 2014 included $5.0 million in transition costs for the consolidation of our Dallas facility and relocation of our Ohio facility. 

 

Operating Expenses

 

Selling and marketing expenses were essentially unchanged at $0.6 million for the three months ended December 31, 2015 compared to $0.6 million for the three months ended December 31, 2014.

 

General and administrative expenses were $5.7 million for the three months ended December 31, 2015 compared to $7.5 million for the three months ended December 31, 2014, a decrease of $1.8 million, or 24.0%. The decrease was primarily due to our Fifth Gear acquisition costs of $2.0 million incurred in the three months ended December 31, 2014. General and administrative expenses consisted principally of executive, accounting and administrative personnel and related expenses, including professional fees.

 

Information technology expenses were $1.4 million for the three months ended December 31, 2015 compared to $1.2 million for the three months ended December 31, 2014, an increase of $0.2 million or 16.7%. The increase was primarily attributable to personnel growth in IT infrastructure and support costs for new clients launched in fiscal 2015.

 

Depreciation and amortization expenses were $4.7 million for the three months ended December 31, 2015 compared to $2.3 million for the three months ended December 31, 2014, an increase of $2.4 million or 104.3%. The increase was primarily attributable to a write-off of operating software to be abandoned and a full three months of amortization of our intangible assets from our Fifth Gear acquisition.

 

During the three months ended December 31, 2015, the Company incurred goodwill and intangible impairment expense of $54.3 million.

 

Interest expense, net 

 

Interest expense was $7.2 million for the three months ended December 31, 2015 compared to expense of $1.1 million for the three months ended December 31, 2014, an increase of $6.1 million or 554.5%. The increase principally reflected higher average debt balances as a result of the refinancing of the credit facility and a $3.5 million write-off in the three months ended December 31, 2015 of remaining unamortized debt issuance costs due to non-compliance with the facility.

 

Nine Months Ended December 31, 2015 compared to Nine Months Ended December 31, 2014

 

Net Revenue

 

Net revenue was $99.2 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2015 compared to $83.4 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2014, an increase of $15.8 million, or 18.9%. 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 was $84.1 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2015 compared to $64.1 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2014, an increase of $20.0 million, or 31.2%. The increase was primarily due incremental costs from the acquisition of Fifth Gear in November 2014.

 

Operating Expenses

 

Selling and marketing expenses were $2.0 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2015 compared to $2.4 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2014, a decrease of $0.4 million, or 16.7%. The decrease was primarily attributable to personnel reductions.

 

General and administrative expenses were $15.9 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2015 compared to $15.2 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2014, an increase of $0.7 million, or 4.6%. The increase was primarily due to a full nine months of Fifth Gear expenses for fiscal 2016 partially offset by acquisition costs of $2.0 million in fiscal 2014. General and administrative expenses consisted principally of executive, accounting and administrative personnel and related expenses, including professional fees.

Information technology expenses were $4.2 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2015 compared to $3.0 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2014, an increase of $1.2 million or 40.0%. The increase was primarily attributable to personnel growth in IT infrastructure and support for new client launches in fiscal 2015.

 

Depreciation and amortization expenses were $11.2 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2015 compared to $5.9 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2014, an increase of $5.3 million or 89.8%. The increase was primarily attributable to a write-off of operating software to be abandoned and a full three months of amortization of our intangible assets from our Fifth Gear acquisition.

 

During the nine months ended December 31, 2015, the Company incurred goodwill and intangible impairment expense of $71.7 million.

 

Interest expense, net 

 

Interest expense was $13.3 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2015 compared to expense of $2.5 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2014, an increase of $10.8 million or 432.0%. The increase principally reflected higher average debt balances as a result of the refinancing of the credit facility and a $3.5 million write-off in the three months ended December 31, 2015 of remaining unamortized debt issuance costs due to non-compliance with the facility.

 

 

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

 

For the three months ended December 31, 2015, the Company recorded income tax benefit from continuing operations of $396,000, compared to income tax expense from continuing operations of $(170,000) for the three months ended December 31, 2014. The tax benefit for the three months ended December 31, 2015 primarily relates to the tax benefits recognized as a result of the impairment of indefinite-lived intangible assets. The effective income tax rate applied to continuing operations for the three months ended December 31, 2015 was 0.1%, compared to a negative 2.4% for the three months ended December 31, 2014.

 

For the nine months ended December 31, 2015, the Company recorded income tax benefit from continuing operations of $862,000, compared to income tax expense from continuing operations of $(343,000) for the nine months ended December 31, 2014. The effective income tax rate applied to continuing operations for the nine months ended December 31, 2015 was 0.9%, compared to a negative 0.2% for the nine months ended December 31, 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 December 31, 2015, we had $112.4 million of indebtedness subject to interest rate fluctuations. As such, a 100-basis point change in the current LIBOR rate would have a $1.1 million 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.

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 8, 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 September 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 has been 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 September 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.

 

On September 17, 2015, the Company entered into the Sixth Amendment to delete certain non-financial covenants and to waive any defaults by the Company.

 

On October 6, 2015, the Company entered into the Seventh Amendment to provide up to an additional $3 million of term loans and $1.5 million were funded to the Company. The Company may request that the remaining $1.5 million to be funded at any time prior to December 23, 2015. The financial terms are generally consistent with those of the existing borrowings provided to the Company under the Credit Agreement.

 

On November 16, 2015, the Company entered into the Eighth Amendment to the Amended and Restated Credit Facility to provide a waiver of the company failure to comply with certain financial covenants at the period ended September 30, 2015, and to incorporate a new covenant requiring that the Company enter into a definitive agreement to sell all or substantially all of the Company's business on terms agreeable to the lenders under the credit facility by no later than December 11, 2015.

 

On November 20, 2015, the Company entered into the Ninth Amendment to Amended and Restated Credit and Guaranty Agreement to provide that the Company may, at the discretion of the administrative agent under the Credit Agreement, receive up to $10 million of additional term loans as Protective Advances pursuant to Section 9.9 of the Credit Agreement, regardless of whether the Company is then in default under the terms of the Credit Agreement. The financial terms of the Protective Advances, if any are provided to the Company, would be provided on terms that are consistent with those of the existing borrowings provided to the Company pursuant to the Credit Agreement. As of December 31, 2015, the Company borrowed $3.1 million of Protective Advances.

 

On December 9, 2015 the Company entered into the Tenth Amendment to Amended and Restated Credit and Guaranty Agreement to provide the Company with an additional $2.1 million of term loans, which were fully funded to the Company as of the date of the Tenth Amendment. The financial terms of such additional term loans are generally consistent with those of the Company’s existing borrowings under the Credit Agreement.

 

On December 16, 2015, the Company entered into a Forbearance Agreement with Garrison to the Company's Amended and Restated Credit and Guaranty Agreement (the “Forbearance Agreement”), in connection with the Company’s failure to comply with a covenant under the Credit Agreement.

 

On December 23, 2015, the Company entered into the Eleventh Amendment to Amended and Restated Credit Facility to provide the Company with an additional $1.0 million of term loans, which were fully funded to the Company as of the date of the Eleventh Amendment. The financial terms of such additional term loans are generally consistent with those of the Company’s existing borrowings under the Credit Agreement.

 

 
24

 

 

 Under the terms of the Forbearance Agreement, the Company’s Lenders agreed to refrain from exercising any rights or remedies that they may have under the Credit Agreement, or otherwise, in respect of the Company's default under the terms of the Credit Agreement for 45 days, or until January 30, 2016, unless a breach of the Forbearance Agreement occurs prior to such date. If the Forbearance Agreement were breached, or not extended, the Company’s Lenders would then be entitled to exercise any of their rights under the Credit Agreement, including, but not limited to, the acceleration of all debt obligations under the Credit Agreement.

 

The term of the Company’s Forbearance Agreement with Garrison expired as of January 30, 2016 and the Forbearance Agreement is not expected to be extended or otherwise reinstated. The Company anticipates that the Lenders will exercise their rights and remedies under the Amended and Restated Credit and Guaranty Agreement in the immediate future, including, but not limited to, the acceleration of all of the Company’s obligations thereunder.

 

The Credit Agreement is secured by all of the assets of the Company. The Company does not have cash to repay its obligations under the Credit Agreement and the value of the assets securing the Credit Agreement is less than the amount of the Company’s obligations under the Credit Agreement.

 

 

Liquidity

 

We finance our operations through cash and cash equivalents, funds generated through operations and our Amended and Restated Credit Facility. We believe the cash currently available to the Company is sufficient to support our operations only for a limited period. As a result, the Company may be required in the near future to cease operations or explore other legal options. The value of the Company’s assets and management’s projections with respect to discounted future cash flows indicate that the Company’s value is less than the current balance of the Company’s debt. As a result, there may be no value in the Company’s equity. Due to the Company’s current financial condition and lack of remedies available to the Company, management of the Company has concluded that there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

In addition, we are currently in default under our Amended and Restated Credit Facility, and our Forbearance Agreement with our Lenders in connection with such default has expired and is not expected to be extended or otherwise reinstated. The Company anticipates that the Lenders will exercise their rights and remedies under the Amended and Restated Credit and Guaranty Agreement in the immediate future, including, but not limited to, the acceleration of all of the Company’s obligations thereunder.

 

The Credit Agreement is secured by all of the assets of the Company. The Company does not have cash to repay its obligations under the Credit Agreement and the value of the assets securing the Credit Agreement is less than the amount of the Company’s obligations under the Credit Agreement.

  

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

 

Information with respect to disclosures about market risk is contained in the section entitled Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Market Risk in this Form 10-Q.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

 

(a) Controls and Procedures

 

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (“Disclosure Controls”), as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports, was recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Interim Chief Executive Officer and Interim Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

As required by Rule 13a-15(b) and 15d-15(b) under the Exchange Act, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Interim Chief Executive Officer and our Interim Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our Disclosure Controls as of the end of the period covered by this report. The Company identified and previously reported a material weakness in its internal controls over the recording and reconciling of deferred costs regarding internal development costs, as more fully described in its annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2015. The Company has determined that another material weakness related to certain revenue transactions existed because the Company did not maintain effective controls over those transactions that were dependent on internally-generated information sourced from an information technology environment that contained insufficient access and program change management controls. Due to the identification of the these material weaknesses, the Interim Chief Executive Officer and Interim Chief Financial Officer concluded that our Disclosure Controls were not effective as of March 31, 2015.

 

(b) Change in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

 

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the most recently completed quarter that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act.

Part II. OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

 

See Litigation and Proceedings disclosed in Note 7 to our consolidated financial statements included herein.

  

Item 1A. Risk Factors 

 

Information regarding risk factors appears in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Forward-Looking Statements / Risk Factors in Part 1 — Item 2 of this Form 10-Q and Part I — Item 1A of our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2015. Other than the following, there have been no other material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed.

 

 The cash currently available to the Company is not sufficient to support the Company’s operations other than for a limited period. As a result, the Company may be required in the near future to cease operations or explore other legal options. The value of the Company's assets and management's projections with respect to discounted future cash flows indicate that the Company's value is less than the current balance of the Company's debt. As a result, the Company believes, based on current circumstances, that there is no value in the Company's equity. Due to the financial condition and lack of remedies available to the Company, management of the Company has concluded that there is substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

 

The Company is in default under its Amended and Restated Credit and Guaranty Agreement and expects its Lenders to exercise their rights and remedies thereunder in the immediate future.

 

The Company is in default of the terms of the Amended and Restated Credit and Guaranty Agreement dated as of November 21, 2014, by and among the Company and Garrison Loan Agency Services LLC, as Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent, and the lenders from time to time party thereto (collectively, the “Lenders”), as amended (the “Credit Agreement”). The Company has not received a waiver of this default of the Credit Agreement and it is unable to cure this default.

 

The Company and the Lenders entered into a Forbearance Agreement dated December 16, 2015 (the “Forbearance Agreement”) indicating that the Company’s Lenders would refrain from exercising their respective rights or remedies under the Credit Agreement, or otherwise, in respect of this default for 45 days, or until January 30, 2016. The term of the Forbearance Agreement has since expired and the Company anticipates that the Lenders will exercise their rights and remedies under the Amended and Restated Credit and Guaranty Agreement in the immediate future, including, but not limited to, acceleration of all debt obligations under the Credit Agreement.

 

The Credit Agreement is secured by all of the assets of the Company. The Company does not have cash to repay its obligations under the Credit Agreement and the value of the assets securing the Credit Agreement is less than the amount of the Company’s obligations under the Credit Agreement.

 

The Company has limited cash and may be required to cease operations.  

 

Our common stock is in the process of being delisted from NASDAQ and we intend to deregister our common stock under the Exchange Act, which would result in a reduction in the amount and frequency of publicly-available information about us and hthe ability to sell or otherwise transfer our common stock.  The Company anticipates that NASDAQ will file with the Securities and Exchange Commission a Form 25 Notification of Removal of Listing and/or Registration under Section 12(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 with respect to the Company’s common stock on February 17, 2016. The Company’s common stock will be delisted from NASDAQ ten (10) calendar days from the date the Form 25 is filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Following the delisting of our common stock from NADAQ, the Company intends to effect a reverse stock split of our common stock for the purpose of reducing the number of record holders of our common stock to fewer than 300 and to deregister our common stock with the SEC and terminate our reporting obligations under the Exchange Act following such reverse stock split. Deregistration of our common stock would result in a reduction in the amount and frequency of publicly-available information about the Company because we would no longer be required to file Exchange Act reports with the SEC, such as annual reports on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, current reports on Form 8-K and proxy statements. The removal of our listing from NASDAQ, together with the deregistration of our common stock with the SEC, would materially and adversely affect the liquidity of our common stock and the ability of the holders of our common stock to sell or otherwise transfer shares of our common stock.

 

We have identified material weaknesses in our internal controls over financial reporting that, if not remediated, could result in material financial statement misstatements.

 

Management identified material weaknesses in our internal controls over (i) the recording and reconciling of deferred costs regarding internal development costs due to a failure to use an adequate time-keeping system which required management to use estimates that did not have adequate supporting documentation in a timely manner and (ii) revenue transactions that were dependent on internally-generated information sourced from an information technology environment without sufficient access or program change management controls. We are in the process of implementing new controls to remediate these material weaknesses, but these new processes and controls have not yet been fully tested. If our remedial measures are insufficient and material errors should occur in the recording of these transactions, our financial statements could contain material misstatements.
