NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

 

NOTE 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Principles and Policies

 

Basis of Presentation and Preparation

 

Wireless Telecom Group, Inc., a New Jersey corporation, together with its subsidiaries (“we”, “us”, “our” or the “Company”), specializes in the design and manufacture of advanced radio frequency and microwave devices which enable the development, testing and deployment of wireless technology. The Company provides unique, highly customized and configured solutions which drive innovation across a wide range of traditional and emerging wireless technologies.

 

In 2019, Wireless Telecom Group was comprised of four brands – Microlab, Boonton, Noisecom, and CommAgility. Since our acquisition of Holzworth Instrumentation, Inc. (“Holzworth”) in February of 2020 (see Note 3), we are also offering the Holzworth brand.

 

Our customers include wireless carriers, defense contractors, military and government agencies, satellite communication companies, network equipment manufacturers, tower companies, semiconductor device manufacturers, system integrators and medical device manufacturers.

 

Our products include components, modules, systems and instruments used across the lifecycle of wireless connectivity and communication development, deployment and testing. Our customers use these products in relation to commercial infrastructure development, the expansion and upgrade of distributed antenna systems, deployment of small cell technology, use of medical devices and private long-term evolution (“LTE”) networks. In addition, the Company’s products are used in the development and testing of satellite communication systems, radar systems, semiconductor devices, automotive electronics and avionics.

 

The consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2020, the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income/(loss) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, the consolidated statements of cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 and the consolidated statement of shareholders’ equity for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 have been prepared by the Company without audit. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Wireless Telecom Group, Inc., doing business as and operating under the trade name, Noisecom, and its wholly owned subsidiaries including Boonton Electronics Corporation (“Boonton”), Microlab/FXR LLC (“Microlab”), Holzworth Instrumentation, Inc. (“Holzworth”), Wireless Telecommunications Ltd. and CommAgility Limited (“CommAgility”). All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

In June of 2020 the Company completed an internal reorganization and now presents its operations as one reportable segment. Prior to the second quarter of 2020 the Company presented its operations in three reportable segments. The Company identifies segments in accordance with ASC 280 Segment Reporting (“ASC 280”). As a result of internal reorganizations that occurred over the six to nine months prior to June 30th the Company evaluated its segment reporting. We determined that the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) as defined in ASC 280 evaluates operating results and makes decisions on how to allocate resources at the consolidated level. Although the CODM reviews key performance indicators including bookings, shipments and gross profit at a product group level, this information by itself is not sufficient enough to make operating decisions. Rather, operating decisions are made based on review of consolidated profitability metrics rather than the individual results of each product group.

 

It is suggested that these interim consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements, and the notes thereto, included in the Company’s latest annual report (Form 10-K).

 

The Company’s fiscal periods are based on the calendar year. Except as otherwise specified, references to “third quarter(s)” or “three months” indicate the Company’s fiscal periods ending September 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019, and references to “year-end” indicate the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019.

 

Consolidated Financial Statements

 

In the opinion of management, the accompanying consolidated financial statements referred to above contain all necessary adjustments, consisting of normal accruals and recurring entries, which are necessary to fairly present the Company’s results for the interim periods being presented.

 

The accounting policies followed by the Company are set forth in Note 1 to the Company’s consolidated financial statements included in its annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019. Specific reference is made to that report since certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) have been reduced for interim periods in accordance with SEC rules.

WIRELESS TELECOM GROUP, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

 

The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2020.

 

Critical Accounting Estimates

 

The preparation of our consolidated financial statements requires the Company to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses for each period. We base our assumptions, judgements and estimates on historical experience and various other factors that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. At least quarterly, we evaluate our assumptions, judgments and estimates, and make changes as deemed necessary.

 

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, there has been uncertainty and disruption in the global economy and financial markets. As noted in our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019, due to declining demand of our digital signal processing hardware cards we performed a quantitative assessment of the CommAgility goodwill as of the fourth fiscal quarter of 2019. Our quantitative assessment did not identify any goodwill impairment. Furthermore, the Company applied a hypothetical 10% decrease to the fair value of the CommAgility reporting unit and compared those values to the carrying values which also did not result in a goodwill impairment. The Covid-19 pandemic has had an impact on our financial results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020. However, we believe the markets we serve and the industries in which we operate will recover in the long term. Accordingly, we are not aware of any specific event or circumstance related to the COVID-19 pandemic that would require updates to our estimates or judgments or require us to revise the carrying value of our assets or liabilities as of November 13, 2020, the date of issuance of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. It is, however, reasonably possible that changes in judgements, assumptions and estimates we made in assessing the fair value of goodwill could cause us to consider some portion of the remaining CommAgility goodwill to become impaired because of the evolving disruptions and uncertainties caused by Covid-19, as described below.

 

Although disruptions related to the Covid-19 pandemic did not impact our estimates and judgements as of the date of this report, it is reasonably possible that the expected ongoing lack of sales of digital signal processing hardware cards and significant uncertainty around other sales, cash collections, and costs could impact our mediation efforts in the fourth quarter of the fiscal year and beyond. These uncertainties include the duration and severity of the pandemic and containment measures and how our compliance with these measures will impact our day-to-day operations as well as that of our key customers, suppliers (including contract manufacturers) and other counterparties. Our accounting estimates and judgements may change as new events occur and additional information becomes available or is obtained. Furthermore, actual results could differ materially from our estimates as of the date of issuance of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q under different assumptions or conditions.

 

For further information about our critical accounting estimates, see the discussion in Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” under the heading “Critical Accounting Policies” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019.

 

Concentration Risk

 

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents and trade accounts receivable. The majority of the Company’s cash balance is held outside of the United States.

 

Credit evaluations are performed on customers requiring credit over a certain amount. Credit risk is mitigated to a lesser extent through collateral such as letters of credit, bank guarantees or payment terms like cash in advance.

 

For the three months ended September 30, 2020, one customer accounted for 13% of the Company’s consolidated revenues. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020 no one customer accounted for greater than 10% of the Company’s consolidated revenues. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, one customer accounted for approximately 19% and 29% of the Company’s consolidated revenues, respectively.

WIRELESS TELECOM GROUP, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

 

No customer accounted for more than 10% of consolidated accounts receivable as of September 30, 2020. At December 31, 2019, one customer accounted for 13% of consolidated accounts receivable.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the reporting date. The accounting guidance establishes a three-tiered hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in the valuation methodologies in measuring fair value:

 

Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 

Level 2 - Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

 

Level 3 - Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

 

The categorization of a financial instrument within the valuation hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

 

The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, approximate fair value due to their relatively short maturities. The Company’s term loan and revolving credit facility bear interest at a variable interest rate plus an applicable margin and, therefore, carrying amount approximates fair value. We believe the carrying value of the loan obtained under the Paycheck Protection Program approximates fair value due to the expected short term nature of the loan.

 

Contingent Consideration

 

Under the terms of the Holzworth Share Purchase Agreement (See Note 3) the Company may be required to pay additional purchase price in the form of deferred purchase price payments and an earnout if certain financial targets are achieved for the years ending December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2021. See Note 3 for a discussion of the first deferred purchase price payment related to financial targets set for 2019. As of September 30, 2020, the Company estimated the fair value of the deferred purchase price and earnout remaining to be paid related to the 2020 and 2021 financial targets to be $660,000 and $2.4 million, respectively. The earnout may be paid in cash or common stock at the Company’s option. The Company is required to reassess the fair value of the contingent consideration at each reporting period.

 

The significant inputs used in this fair value estimate include estimated gross revenues and Adjusted EBITDA, as defined in the Holzworth Share Purchase Agreement, and scenarios for the earnout periods for which probabilities are assigned to each scenario to arrive at a single estimated outcome. The estimated outcome is then discounted based on the individual risk analysis of the liability. Although the Company believes its estimates and assumptions are reasonable, different assumptions, including those regarding the operating results of Holzworth or changes in the future, may result in different estimated amounts. The contingent consideration liability is considered a Level 3 fair value measurement.

NOTE 3 – Acquisition of Holzworth

 

On November 13, 2019 the Company entered into a Share Purchase Agreement with Holzworth Instrumentation Inc. (“Holzworth”), Jason Breitbarth, Joe Koebel, and Leyla Bly (collectively, the “Sellers”), and Jason Breitbarth, as the designated representative of the Sellers, as amended by a First Amendment to Share Purchase Agreement, dated January 31, 2020 (collectively, the “Share Purchase Agreement”). On February 7, 2020, the Company completed the acquisition (the “Acquisition”) of all of the outstanding shares of Holzworth, from the Sellers. Holzworth instruments which include signal generators and phased noise analyzers are used by government labs, the semiconductor industry, and network equipment providers, among others, in research and automated test environments. Holzworth is a complimentary business for our Boonton and Noisecom brands with a common customer base and channel partners. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, net revenues of $2.8 million and $5.7 million, respectively and operating income of $744,000 and $1.2 million, respectively, was included in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income/(loss) related to the Holzworth business, representing the results from the date of acquisition. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company recorded $15,000 and $243,000, respectively of transaction expenses related to the Acquisition and these expenses were recognized in general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income/(loss).

The aggregate purchase price for the Acquisition is a maximum of $17.0 million, consisting of payments in cash and stock, deferred purchase price payments and contingent consideration in the form of an earnout. At the closing, the Company issued a promissory note, which required the Company to pay on the next business day $465,000 of the purchase price by issuing 347,319 shares of its common stock (the “Stock Consideration”), and $8.0 million in cash (the “Cash Consideration”), reduced by an indemnification holdback of $800,000 and payment of certain of Sellers’ transaction expenses and indebtedness of Holzworth. Additionally, the final purchase price is subject to adjustment based on the closing working capital amounts, as defined in the Share Purchase Agreement, of Holzworth as of the closing balance sheet date as compared to a defined target. The parties intend to make a 338(h)(10) election to treat the Acquisition as a purchase and sale of assets, and the Company has agreed to pay any incremental taxes of Sellers resulting from that election.

 

There are two deferred purchase price payments that total $1.5 million. Each deferred payment may be reduced as provided in the Share Purchase Agreement if Holzworth’s EBITDA (as defined in the Share Purchase Agreement) for each fiscal year ending December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2020, respectively, is less than $1.25 million. Holzworth met the EBITDA target for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019, and thereby earned the first deferred purchase price payment of $750,000 which is payable in three equal quarterly installments on March 31, 2020, June 30, 2020 and September 30, 2020, respectively. Under the terms of the working capital adjustment definition the sellers owed the Company approximately $292,000. Accordingly, this amount was netted against the first deferred purchase price installment of $250,000 and a portion of the second deferred purchase price installment. The Company paid the second deferred purchase price installment in the net amount of approximately $208,000 on July 1st. The third quarterly deferred purchase price installment of $250,000 was paid in full on October 1, 2020. The second deferred purchase price payment of $750,000, if earned, is payable on March 31, 2021.

 

The Company may also be required to pay additional amounts in cash and stock as earnout consideration. The first earnout payment will be equal to two times the amount, if any, by which Holzworth’s EBITDA for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2020 exceeds $1.25 million. The second earnout payment will be equal to two times the amount, if any, by which Holzworth’s EBITDA for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2021 exceeds the greater of $1.25 million or Holzworth’s EBITDA for the prior fiscal year. The aggregate earnout payments, if any, cannot exceed $7.0 million.

 

Pursuant to the Share Purchase Agreement the Company entered into a lock-up and voting agreement (the “Lock-up and Voting Agreement”) with each of the Sellers. Pursuant to the Lock-up and Voting Agreement, each Seller agrees to restrict the sale, assignment, transfer, encumbrance or other disposition of its portion of the Stock Consideration (the “Lock-up Shares”). For a period commencing on the closing date of the Acquisition (the “Effective Date”) and ending on the date which is 36 calendar months following the Effective Date, each Seller agrees that, without the prior written consent by the Company, such Seller shall not sell, assign, transfer, encumber or otherwise dispose of the Lock-up Shares or enter into any swap, option or short sale, among other transactions. Upon the prior written consent of the Company, a Seller may transfer Lock-up Shares as a bona fide gift, by will or intestacy or to a family member or trust for the benefit of the Seller or a family member; provided that any recipient of the Lock-up Shares sign and deliver to the Company a lock-up and voting agreement substantially in the form of the Lock-up and Voting Agreement. The Lock-up Shares cease to be locked up in the event of a Change of Control of the Company (as defined in the Lock-up and Voting Agreement).

 

In addition, each Seller, subject to certain limitations, agrees, among other things, to appear at each meeting of the shareholders of the Company and vote all of such Seller’s Lock-up Shares (a) in favor or against any proposal presented to the shareholders in the same manner that the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) recommends shareholders vote on such proposal and (b) in favor of any proposal presented to the shareholders with respect to an action of the Company which the Board has approved, but as to which the Board has not made any recommendation, including in favor of any proposal to adjourn or postpone any meeting of the Company’s shareholders if such adjournment or postponement is conducted in accordance with the terms of the Lock-up and Voting Agreement.

 

To the extent any shares of Company common stock are issued in payment of any Earnout Consideration (as defined in the Share Purchase Agreement) in accordance with the terms of the Share Purchase Agreement, such shares shall be subject to all applicable transfer restrictions, voting and other provisions set forth in the Lock-up and Voting Agreement, with the Effective Date with respect to such shares being the date such shares are issued; provided that, to the extent the portion of the first $1.5 million of Earnout Consideration that is paid in cash represents less than 30% of such Earnout Consideration, the portion of shares of Company common stock issued as Earnout Consideration constituting the difference between the cash percentage paid and 30% of the first $1.5 of Earnout Consideration shall not be considered Lock-Up Shares.

 

The acquisition has been accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC 805, “Business Combinations”. Accounting for acquisitions requires us to recognize separately from goodwill the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed at their acquisition date fair values. Goodwill as of the acquisition date is measured as the excess of consideration transferred over the net of the acquisition date fair values of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed. While we use our best estimates and assumptions to accurately value assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date our estimates are inherently uncertain and subject to refinement. Various valuation techniques were used to estimate the fair value of assets acquired and the liabilities assumed which use significant unobservable inputs, or Level 3 inputs as defined by the fair value hierarchy. Using these valuation approaches requires the Company to make significant estimates and assumptions.

In connection with the Holzworth Acquisition, on February 7, 2020, the Company, as borrower, and its subsidiaries, as guarantors, and Muzinich BDC, Inc., as lender (“Muzinich”), entered into a Term Loan Facility, which provides for a term loan in the principal amount of $8.4 million (the “Initial Term Loan”). All proceeds of the Initial Term Loan were used to fund the cash portion of the purchase price for the Holzworth acquisition. Principal payments on the Initial Term Loan are $21,000 per quarter with a balloon payment at maturity which is February 7, 2025. The term loan bears interest at LIBOR (subject to a floor of 1.0%) plus a margin of 7.25%. The Term Loan Facility includes an upfront fee of 2.50% of the aggregate principal amount of the Initial Term Loan. In connection with the Term Loan Facility, the Company incurred costs of $1.0 million, including the aforementioned 2.5% upfront fee to Muzinich, which were recorded as a reduction of the carrying amount of the debt and are being amortized over the term of the loan.

 

The Company may prepay the Initial Term Loan at any time. Prepayments made prior to (a) February 7, 2022 are subject to a prepayment premium in the amount of 2.0% of the prepaid principal amount and (b) February 7, 2023 are subject to a prepayment premium in the amount of 1.0% of the prepaid principal amount. The Company is required to make prepayments of the Initial Term Loan with the proceeds of certain asset dispositions, insurance recoveries and extraordinary receipts, subject to specified reinvestment rights. The Company is also required to make prepayments of the Initial Term Loan upon the issuance of certain indebtedness and to make an annual prepayment based upon the Company’s excess cash flow. Mandatory prepayments with asset sale, insurance or condemnation proceeds and excess cash flow may be made without penalty. Mandatory prepayments with the proceeds of indebtedness are subject to the same prepayment penalties as are applicable to voluntary prepayments.

The Term Loan Facility provides for an additional $11.6 million term loan (the “Second Term Loan”) to be used for a second unannounced acquisition opportunity (the “Additional Acquisition”). There can be no assurance that the Additional Acquisition will be completed. In the event the Additional Acquisition is completed, the Second Term Loan will be made available to the Company on the same terms and conditions as the Initial Term Loan, including interest rate, amortization schedule and financial covenants, subject to the payment of an additional upfront fee and satisfaction of customary conditions to funding.

 

The Term Loan Facility is secured by liens on substantially all of the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ assets including a pledge of the equity interests in the Company’s subsidiaries. The Term Loan Facility contains customary affirmative and negative covenants for a transaction of this type, including, among others, the provision of annual, quarterly and monthly financial statements and compliance certificates, maintenance of property, insurance, compliance with laws and environmental matters, restrictions on incurrence of indebtedness, granting of liens, making investments and acquisitions, paying dividends, entering into affiliate transactions and asset sales. In addition, the Company must maintain certain financial covenants typical for this type of arrangement, including a consolidated leverage ratio, a consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio and minimum liquidity of its foreign subsidiaries. The consolidated leverage ratio is defined as the ratio of total consolidated indebtedness, as defined, to consolidated EBITDA, as defined. The required leverage ratio starts at 4.75 to 1.0 for the twelve month periods ended March 31, 2020 and June 30, 2020, and decreases in various increments to 4.0 to 1.0 for the twelve months ended September 30, 2020, 3.75 to 1.0 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2020, 2.75 to 1.0 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2021 and 2.0 to 1.0 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2022 and thereafter. The consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio is the ratio of consolidated EBITDA, as defined, less consolidated capital expenditures and cash income taxes paid to consolidated fixed charges, as defined, calculated on a twelve-month basis. The consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio for the twelve month periods ended March 31, 2020, June 30, 2020 and September 30, 2020 must be 1.35 to 1 and increases in various increments on a quarterly basis to 1.5 to 1.0 for the twelve month period ended December 31, 2020 and 2021, and to 1.75 to 1.0 for the 12 months ending December 31, 2022 and thereafter. Lastly, the Company must maintain minimum liquidity, defined as cash and availability under the UK borrowing base, as defined, of $1.0 million over any trailing four-week period until such time as the foreign subsidiary has positive EBITDA, as defined, for three consecutive quarters and the Holzworth deferred purchase price has been paid in full. The Term Loan Facility also provides for a number of events of default, including, among others, nonpayment, bankruptcy, inaccuracy of representations and warranties, breach of covenant, change in control, entry of final judgement or order, breach of material contracts, and as long as the Company’s consolidated leverage ratio is greater than 1.0 to 1.0 (as calculated in accordance with the terms of the Term Loan Facility), the cessation of service of any two of Tim Whelan, Michael Kandell or Daniel Monopoli as Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer or Chief Technology Officer, respectively, of the Borrower without a satisfactory replacement within 60 days. Any exercise of remedies by Muzinich is subject to compliance with the intercreditor agreement entered into at the closing of the Term Loan Facility among the Company, Muzinich and Bank of America, N.A., as lender under the Credit Facility referenced below. It is reasonably possible that the disruptions caused by Covid-19 and the ongoing lack of demand for our digital signal processing cards will have an impact on our ability to comply with our financial debt covenants which could result in a default under either or both of our Credit Facility and Term Loan for the twelve months ended December 31, 2020. Management is actively discussing these issues with lenders and believes the risk of default will be eliminated through appropriate cash flow management, including with respect to potential earn out payments and amendments of credit agreements.

 

The Company entered into a Credit Facility with Bank of America, N.A. (the “Lender”) on February 16, 2017 (the “Credit Facility”), which provided for a term loan in the aggregate principal amount of $760,000 (the “Term Loan”) and an asset based revolving loan (the “Revolver”), which is subject to a Borrowing Base Calculation (as defined in the Credit Facility) of up to a maximum availability of $9.0 million (“Revolver Commitment Amount”). The borrowing base is calculated as a percentage of eligible accounts receivable and inventory, as defined, subject to certain caps and limits. The borrowing base is calculated on a monthly basis and interest is calculated at LIBOR plus a margin. The proceeds of the Term Loan and Revolver were used to finance the acquisition of CommAgility in 2017.

 

In connection with the Acquisition, on February 7, 2020, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries (the “Borrowers”), and Bank of America, N.A. entered into Amendment No. 5 (the “Amendment”) to the Credit Facility. By entering into the Amendment, Holzworth, together with CommAgility Limited, became borrowers under the Credit Facility. The obligations of the Borrowers under the Credit Facility are guaranteed by Wireless Telecom Group, Ltd. CommAgility Limited and Wireless Telecom Group, Ltd. are both wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company.

The Amendment (a) effected certain modifications to the Credit Facility to accommodate the Acquisition, the Company’s incurrence of the Initial Term Loan and the granting of the related liens and security interests, (b) subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions precedent, made available to CommAgility an asset based revolving loan, subject to a borrowing base calculation applicable to CommAgility’s assets, of up to a maximum availability of $5.0 million (the “UK Revolver Commitment”), (c) reduced the interest rate margin applicable to revolving loans made under the Credit Facility from a range of 2.75% to 3.25% to a range of 2.00% to 2.50%, based on the Borrowers’ Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Facility) of the most recently completed fiscal quarter, (d) extended the Revolver Termination Date to March 31, 2023 and (e) conditioned the Borrowers’ ability to make certain debt payments under the Term Loan Facility (described above) upon compliance with a liquidity test. In all other material respects, the Credit Facility remains unchanged.

 

Effectiveness of the Amendment was conditioned upon, among other things, the prepayment of the remaining principal balance ($304,000) of the $760,000 term loan made available under the Credit Facility and the payment of a closing fee in the amount of $25,000. The Borrowers satisfied all such conditions on February 7, 2020. In connection with the Amendment the Company incurred costs of $270,000 which are capitalized as other current and non-current assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets and are being amortized over the term of the revolver.

 

As of September 30, 2020, the interest rate on the Term Loan Facility was 8.25% and the interest rate on the Revolver was 2.25%. As of September 30, 2020, and the date hereof the Company is in compliance with all covenants of the Credit Facility and the Term Loan Facility.

 

On May 4, 2020, the Company received $2.0 million pursuant to a loan from Bank of America N.A. under the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) of the 2020 Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”) administered by the Small Business Association (“SBA”). The loan has an interest rate of 1% and a term of 24 months. A repayment schedule has not yet been provided by Bank of America. Accordingly, the full amount of the term loan has been shown as due in May 2022. Funds from the loan may only be used for certain purposes, including payroll, benefits, rent and utilities. The CARES Act and the PPP provide a mechanism for forgiveness of up to the full amount of the loan upon application to the SBA for forgiveness by the Company. The loan is evidenced by a promissory note, which contains customary events of default relating to, among other things, payment defaults and breaches of representations and warranties. The Company may prepay the loan at any time prior to maturity with no prepayment penalties. The Company expects to apply for forgiveness of the loan, however, has elected to account for the loan in accordance with Accounting Standard Codification 470 Debt until such time that forgiveness is approved by the SBA. The Company can provide no assurance that the loan will be forgiven in whole or in part.

 

On May 4, 2020 the Company also entered into Amendment No. 6 to the Credit Facility with Bank of America N.A. and Amendment No. 1 to the Term Loan facility with Muzinich. The amendments allowed the Company to accept the PPP loan and provide that the PPP loan shall not be deemed to constitute “Debt” or “Indebtedness”, as defined, under the Credit Facility and the Term Loan Facility, respectively, as long as the proceeds of the PPP loan are used for allowable purposes under the provisions of the CARES Act and the PPP in order to permit the Company to obtain forgiveness of substantially all of the PPP loan. The amendments to the Credit Facility and Term Loan Facility also contain certain representations and warranties of the Company.

 

Issuance of Stock Warrants

 

Pursuant to the Term Loan Facility, the Company issued a Warrant, dated February 7, 2020 (the “Warrant”), to Muzinich. Under the Warrant, Muzinich has the right to purchase 266,167 shares of common stock of the Company at an exercise price of $1.3923 per share (an aggregate value of approximately $370,588), based on a 90-day volume weighted average price for shares of stock of the Company (the “Warrant Stock”). The Warrant is exercisable for an indefinite period from the date of the Warrant and may be exercised on a cashless basis. The number of shares of common stock deliverable upon exercise of the Warrant is subject to adjustment for subdivision or consolidation of shares and other standard dilutive events. In connection with the issuance of the Warrant, the Company granted Muzinich one demand registration right and piggyback registration rights with respect to the Warrant Stock, subject to certain exceptions.

 

If the Additional Acquisition is consummated, the Company has agreed to issue to Muzinich at the closing of the Additional Acquisition an additional Warrant for the right to purchase 367,564 shares of common stock of the Company at an exercise price of $1.3923 per share (an aggregate value of approximately $511,765), based upon a 90-day volume weighted average price for shares of stock of the Company as of February 7, 2020 (the “Additional Warrant”). The Additional Warrant will contain the same terms and conditions as the Warrant, except that Muzinich will have only one demand registration right, subject to certain exceptions, with respect to shares of common stock of the Company issued under the Warrant and the Additional Warrant.

 

The stock warrants issued to Muzinich are classified as equity. The fair value of the warrants, as calculated using the Black Scholes model as of the issuance date, was approximately $150,000 and was recorded as a reduction to the carrying value of the debt. The significant inputs included in the Black Scholes calculation were a risk free rate of 1.41%, volatility of 48.7% and the stock price on date of grant of $1.34.

NOTE 5 – Leases

 

The Company’s lease agreements consist of building leases for its operating locations and office equipment leases for printers and copiers with lease terms that range from less than 12 months to 8 years. At inception, the Company determines if an arrangement contains a lease and whether that lease meets the classification criteria of a finance or operating lease. The Company’s leases for office equipment such as printers and copiers contain lease and non-lease components (i.e. maintenance). The Company accounts for lease and non-lease components of office equipment as a single lease component.

 

All of the Company’s leases are operating leases and are presented as right of use lease asset, short term lease liability and long term lease liability on the consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019. These assets and liabilities are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of remaining lease payments over the lease term using the Company’s incremental borrowing rate. Short-term leases, which have an initial term of 12 months or less, are not recorded on the balance sheet.

 

Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term and is included in cost of revenues and general and administrative expenses on the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income/(loss).

 

Operating lease costs for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 were $296,000 and $791,000, respectively. Operating lease costs for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 were $222,000 and $669,000, respectively.

NOTE 7 – Income Taxes

 

The Company records deferred taxes in accordance with ASC 740, “Accounting for Income Taxes.” ASC 740 requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for temporary differences between tax basis of assets and liabilities and the amounts at which they are carried in the financial statements, based upon the enacted rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The Company establishes a valuation allowance when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. The Company periodically assesses the value of its deferred tax assets and determines the necessity for a valuation allowance.

 

Realization of the Company’s deferred tax assets is dependent upon the Company generating sufficient taxable income in the appropriate tax jurisdictions in future years to obtain benefit from the reversal of net deductible temporary differences and from utilization of net operating losses. The amount of deferred tax assets considered realizable is subject to adjustment in future periods if estimates of future taxable income are changed.

 

As of September 30, 2020, the Company’s net deferred tax asset of approximately $4.5 million is net of a valuation allowance of approximately $7.1 million which is associated with the Company’s foreign net operating loss carryforward from an inactive foreign entity, state net operating loss carryforward and a state research and development credit.

 

The Company recorded a tax provision of $352,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 due to estimated taxable income in the U.S. as qualified expenses under the PPP loan are not deductible for tax purposes. In recording the tax provision for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company has assumed that the PPP loan will be forgiven and, therefore, all PPP qualified expenses are being treated as non-deductible. This was offset somewhat by estimated losses as well as research and development deductions in the UK.

 

The effective rate of income tax benefit of 28.3% for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was higher than the statutory rates in the United States and United Kingdom primarily due to the impact of research and development deductions in the UK.

NOTE 8 – Earnings (Loss) Per Share

 

Basic earnings (loss) per share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period and, when dilutive, potential shares from stock options using the treasury stock method, the weighted average number of unvested restricted shares, the weighted-average number of restricted stock units and the weighted average number of warrants to purchase common stock outstanding for the period. Shares from stock options are included in the diluted earnings per share calculation only when options exercise prices are lower than the average market value of the common shares for the period presented. In periods with a net loss, the basic loss per share equals the diluted loss per share as all common stock equivalents are excluded from the per share calculation because they are anti-dilutive. In accordance with ASC 260, “Earnings Per Share”, the following table reconciles basic shares outstanding to fully diluted shares outstanding.

 

   For the Three Months Ended September 30,   For the Nine Months Ended September 30, 
   2020   2019   2020   2019 
                 
Weighted average common shares outstanding   21,703,268    20,865,751    21,642,955    20,854,244 
Potentially dilutive equity awards   388,366    655,351    295,186    654,239 
Weighted average common shares outstanding, assuming dilution   22,091,634    21,521,102    21,938,141    21,508,483 

 

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, the weighted average number of options and warrants to purchase common stock not included in diluted loss per share because the effects are anti-dilutive, or the performance condition was not met was 3,246,167 and 2,924,650, respectively. The estimated maximum weighted-average number of shares issuable under the terms of the Holzworth earnout, if all paid in shares of common stock, (see Note 3) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 are 1,468,374 and 367,094, respectively.

 

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 the weighted-average number of options to purchase common stock not included in diluted loss per share because the effects are anti-dilutive or the performance condition was not met was 1,445,000 and 1,275,000, respectively.

NOTE 11 - Accounting for Stock Based Compensation

 

The Company’s results for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2020 include $151,000 and $360,000, respectively, related to stock based compensation expense. The Company’s results for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2019 include $160,000 and $560,000, respectively, related to stock based compensation expense. Such amounts have been included in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income/(loss) within general and administrative expenses in operating expenses. The Company accounts for forfeitures when they occur.

 

Incentive Compensation Plan

 

In 2012, the Company’s Board of Directors and shareholders approved the 2012 Incentive Compensation Plan (the “Initial 2012 Plan”), which provides for the grant of equity, including restricted stock awards, restricted stock units, non-qualified stock options and incentive stock options in compliance with the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, to employees, officers, directors, consultants and advisors of the Company who are expected to contribute to the Company’s future growth and success. When originally approved, the Initial 2012 Plan provided for the grant of awards relating to 2 million shares of common stock, plus those shares subject to awards previously issued under the Company’s 2000 Stock Option Plan that expire, are canceled or are terminated after adoption of the Initial 2012 Plan without having been exercised in full and would have been available for subsequent grants under the 2000 Stock Option Plan. In June 2014, the Company’s shareholders approved the Amended and Restated 2012 Incentive Compensation Plan (the “2012 Plan”) allowing for an additional 1.6 million shares of the Company’s common stock to be available for future grants under the 2012 Plan. The 2012 Plan provides that if awards are forfeited, expire or otherwise terminate without issuance of the shares underlying the awards, or if the award does not result in issuance of all or part of the shares underlying the award, the unissued shares are again available for awards under the 2012 Plan. As a result of certain award forfeitures and cancellations, as of September 30, 2020, there are approximately 243,000 shares available for issuance under the 2012 Plan.

 

All service-based (time vesting) options granted have ten-year terms from the date of grant and typically vest annually and become fully exercisable after a maximum of five years. However, vesting conditions are determined on a grant by grant basis. Performance-based options granted have ten-year terms and vest and become fully exercisable when determinable performance targets are achieved. Performance targets are approved by the Company’s compensation committee of the Board of Directors. Under the 2012 Plan, options may be granted to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock exercisable only at prices equal to or above the fair market value on the date of the grant.

Outstanding Stock Options

 

On August 4, 2020 the Company granted 150,000 performance-based stock options to our Chief Revenue Officer under the 2012 Plan.

 

On April 7, 2020 the Company granted 970,000 performance-based stock options to various employees under the 2012 Plan.

 

The performance options granted on both August 4th and April 7th vest when the Company achieves consolidated revenue targets as outlined in the schedule below:

 

Consolidated annualized gross revenues $55.0 million – 25% vesting
 
Consolidated annualized gross revenues $61.5 million – 50% vesting
 
Consolidated annualized gross revenues $69.0 million – 75% vesting
 
Consolidated annualized gross revenues $77.5 million – 100% vesting

 

Consolidated annualized gross revenues include revenue from Holzworth from acquisition date (February 7, 2020) forward, but do not include any additional acquisitions from February 7, 2020 forward. Consolidated annualized gross revenues is calculated on a calendar year basis (i.e. twelve months ended December 31).

 

The grant price of the August 4th grant is $1.20 and the assumptions used to estimate the fair value of the August 4th performance-based option are as follows: Option Term (in years) – 10; Exercise price $1.20; Risk Free Interest Rate 0.19%; Expected Volatility 52.06%; Expected Dividend Yield 0.00.

 

The grant price of the April 7th grants is $1.50 and the assumptions used to estimate the fair value of the April 7th performance-based options are as follows: Option Term (in years) – 10; Exercise price $1.50; Risk Free Interest Rate 0.48%; Expected Volatility 50.85%; Expected Dividend Yield 0.00.

 

In accordance with ASC 718 Compensation-Stock Compensation, compensation expense is recognized over the period from the date the performance conditions are determined to be probable of occurring through the implicit service period, which is the date the applicable conditions are expected to be met. If the performance conditions are not considered probable of being achieved, no expense is recognized until such time as the performance conditions are considered probable of being met, if ever. If the award is forfeited because the performance condition is not satisfied, previously recognized compensation cost is reversed. Management evaluates performance conditions on a quarterly basis. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 the Company recorded $38,000 and $68,000 of expense in general and administrative expenses related to the April and August performance-based stock options, respectively. The estimated implicit service period is April 2020 thru December 2025 for the April performance-based options and August 2020 thru December 2025 for the August performance-based options.

 

As of September 30, 2020, there were 1,925,000 service based stock options outstanding and 1,205,000 performance based stock options outstanding. The range of exercise prices of outstanding stock options is $1.20 to $1.92. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020 there were no potentially dilutive common shares from the stock options as all options outstanding had an exercise price higher than the average market value of common shares.

 

Restricted Stock Units

 

On June 4, 2020 the Company granted 25,000 Restricted Stock Units (“RSU”) to each of our six independent board members under the 2012 Plan. Each RSU represents the Company’s obligation to issue one share of the Company’s common stock subject to the RSU award agreement and 2012 Plan. The grant date fair value was $1.18 per share and the RSU’s vest on the day before the first anniversary of the grant date or, if earlier, the effective date of a separation of service due to death or disability, provided the board member has rendered continuous service to the Company as a member of the board of directors from grant date to vesting date. Once vested the RSU will be settled by delivery of shares to the board member no later than 30 days following: 1) the third anniversary of the grant date, 2) separation from service following, or coincident with, a vesting date, or 3) a change in control.

 

As of September 30, 2020, there were 272,917 vested RSU’s and 150,000 unvested RSU’s.

Unvested Restricted Share Awards

 

On August 4th the Company granted 50,000 restricted share awards to our Chief Revenue Officer under the 2012 plan. The fair market value of the award is $1.20 per granted share and the award vests in four equal installments of 12,500 shares on August 1 of 2021, 2022, 2023 and 2024, respectively

 

As of September 30, 2020, there were 238,170 unvested restricted share awards outstanding.

 

NOTE 12 – SEGMENT INFORMATION

 

In June 2020, as a result of certain internal reorganizations completed over the prior six to nine months, the Company concluded it now operates as one reportable segment in accordance with ASC 280 Segment Reporting. Prior to June the Company operated as three reportable segments. In June we determined that the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) as defined in ASC 280 evaluates operating results and makes decisions on how to allocate resources as the consolidated level. Although the CODM reviews key performance indicators including bookings, shipments and gross profit at a product group level, this information by itself is not sufficient enough to make operating decisions. Rather, operating decisions are made based on review of consolidated profitability metrics rather than the individual results of each product group.

 

NOTE 13 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

Legal Proceeding

 

As previously disclosed, on June 5, 2019 Harris Corporation (“Harris”) filed a request for arbitration before the American Arbitration Association in accordance with the terms of an executed purchase order, statement of work and software license agreement (collectively referred to as “Agreements”) with CommAgility entered into in 2014. Harris claims that CommAgility breached the Agreements and infringed Harris’ copyrighted “Work Product” (as defined in the Agreements) by offering for sale, marketing, and promoting techniques, capabilities, products and services that incorporate Work Product owned by Harris. In its arbitration demand, Harris claims that CommAgility has caused Harris significant monetary damages, the sum of which cannot be determined until such time as discovery has been conducted but is estimated by Harris to be less than $250,000. Harris did not include a request for monetary damages in its Statement of Claim, which was filed with the arbitration panel on May 22, 2020. Harris is seeking a declaration of ownership and an injunction against CommAgility’s use of the Work Product which includes rights to certain technology used for air-to-ground communications. The Company believes the claims are without merit and intends to defend all of the claims vigorously. The Company has not accrued any amounts in respect of this matter and cannot estimate the possible loss, if any, that the Company may incur with respect to it. The arbitration proceedings have been suspended by consent as the parties engage in settlement discussions.

 

The ultimate outcome of this matter is unknown but, in the opinion of management, we do not believe this proceeding will have a material adverse effect upon our financial condition, cash flows or future results of operations. Legal expenses incurred in connection with the arbitration from August 2019 are covered by our professional indemnity insurance policy.

 

There have been no other material changes in our commitments and contingencies and risks and uncertainties as of September 30, 2020 from that previously disclosed in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.

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

 

The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our interim consolidated financial statements and the notes to those statements included in Part I, Item I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements contained in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.

 

COVID-19 Impact

 

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of COVID-19 a pandemic, which continues to spread throughout the U.S. and the world and has resulted in authorities implementing numerous measures to contain the virus, including travel bans and restrictions, quarantines, shelter-in-place orders, and business limitations and shutdowns. The Company is considered an “essential business” due to the industries and customers we serve, including critical telecommunications infrastructure, the U.S. government and numerous U.S. defense subcontractors. Accordingly, we have continued operations throughout the pandemic including at our manufacturing facilities in Parsippany, New Jersey and Boulder, Colorado.

 

To support the health and well-being of our employees, customers, partners and communities, since approximately March 16, 2020, all of our employees who do not have critical in-person functions have been working remotely. For those employees working in our facilities we have instituted mediation measures including flexible work arrangements, increased distancing of workstations, and other safety precautions. As of the date of the filing of this Form 10-Q, approximately two-thirds of our employees are working remotely. In October the Company implemented a decision framework which will guide our approach to returning to a normal working state including bringing employees that have been working remotely back into our facilities. The decision framework is based on data, facts and advice of federal, state and local government leaders in the jurisdictions in which we operate as well as medical professionals. Under our current plans, the Company expects to continue to have some portion of our workforce working remotely until January 4, 2021. However, this timeline may be adjusted based on the facts and circumstances of each jurisdiction in which we operate.

 

We believe our financial results in the first nine months of 2020 were adversely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic as we experienced a decrease in orders related to our Boonton and Noisecom brands as customers closed facilities, slowed orders and instituted capital expenditure freezes due to the pandemic. We also saw a decline in Microlab orders due primarily to large venue project delays and cancellations. We believe this was caused by the uncertainty of reopening guidelines from states, as well as the uncertainty of conventions, college and professional sports, and college and university return to campus schedules for students. Further, we believe certain project timelines and decisions on large private network projects on which our CommAgility brand is bidding are being delayed given the economic uncertainty driven by the pandemic.

 

There continues to be significant uncertainty around sales, cash collections, costs related to our mediation efforts and costs and timing related to anticipated easing of shelter-in-place and shut-down orders in the fourth quarter of the fiscal year. These uncertainties include the duration and severity of the pandemic and containment measures and how our compliance with these measures will impact our day-to-day operations as well as that of our key customers, suppliers (including contract manufacturers) and other counterparties.

 

We are continuing to monitor developments related to the pandemic on our own operations as well as on our suppliers, contract manufacturers and customers. We intend to adapt to the changing environment while acting to ensure the health and safety of our employees.

 

On May 4, 2020, the Company received $2.0 million pursuant to a loan under the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) of the 2020 Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) administered by the Small Business Association (see description in Liquidity and Capital Resources below). The Company’s covered period as defined by the terms of the PPP loan ended on October 19, 2020. The Company used the funds only for those purposes as defined under the terms of the PPP loan, most notably payroll expenses for our U.S. based employees. The Company intends to file for forgiveness before the end of November.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

Our brands are organized in three product groups. The Test and Measurement Solutions (“T&M”) product group is comprised of our Boonton, Noisecom and Holzworth brands. The RF Components (“RFC”) product group is comprised of our Microlab brand. And, the Radio, Baseband and Software (“RBS”) product group is comprised of our CommAgility brand. We believe that revenue and gross profit by product brand are key performance indicators and, accordingly, are presented in the results of operations section of MD&A.

 

Our results of operations for fiscal year 2020 include the results of Holzworth from the date of acquisition which was February 7, 2020.

 

Three Months Ended September 30, 2020 Compared with Three Months Ended September 30, 2019

 

Net Revenues (in thousands)

 

   Three months ended September 30, 
   Revenue   % of Revenue   Change 
   2020   2019   2020   2019   Amount   Pct. 
RF components  $4,418   $5,185    40.7%   48.0%  $(767)   -14.8%

Total net revenues  $10,868   $10,812    100.0%   100.0%  $56    0.5%

 

Net consolidated revenue was flat with the prior year period. Revenue in the RBS product group declined $2.0 million due to the ongoing lack of sales of our digital signal processing hardware cards to our then largest customer. Revenue in the RFC product group declined $767,000 on lower demand for passive components due to lower spending by carriers on large venues and campuses due to the uncertainty caused by the Covid 19 pandemic. These declines were offset by increased revenue in our T&M product group due to the Holzworth acquisition which contributed $2.8 million in revenue in the third quarter of 2020.

 

Gross Profit (in thousands)

 

   Three months ended September 30, 
   Gross Profit   Gross Profit %   Change

Total gross profit  $5,654   $4,825    52.0%   44.6%  $829    17.2%

 

Consolidated gross profit increased $829,000 due primarily to the revenue contribution of Holzworth to the T&M product group which offset volume declines at the RFC and RBS product groups. Gross profit margin increased from 44.6% to 52.0% due to higher margin software sales in the RBS product group, the contribution of higher margin Holzworth products at the T&M product group and the impact of cost savings activities initiated by the Company at the beginning of the year.

Total operating expenses  $6,002   $5,503    55.2%   50.9%  $499    9.1%

 

Research and development expenses increased $483,000 from the prior year period due primarily to third party costs of $296,000 associated with projects related to our T&M product line as well as the inclusion of Holzworth research and development expenses of $166,000 in the current year.

 

Sales and marketing expenses were flat with the prior year period as the inclusion of Holzworth sales and marketing expenses of $400,000 in the current year period were offset by decreases in sales and marketing expenses due to expense reductions. These expense reductions included reductions in salaries and benefits of $265,000 due to headcount reductions as well as reductions in travel expenses and commissions.

 

General and administrative expense were flat with the prior year period as the inclusion of Holzworth general and administrative expenses of $246,000 were offset by lower merger and acquisition expenses and other discretionary expense reductions.

 

Other Income/(Expense)

 

Other income decreased $151,000 from the prior year period due primarily to foreign exchange losses recognized on monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than our functional currencies.

 

Interest Expense

 

Consolidated interest expense increased $196,000 due primarily to interest on the new Term Loan Facility.

 

Taxes

 

Consolidated tax provision increased $297,000 from the prior year period. The tax provision in the third quarter of 2020 includes the accounting for non-deductible qualified expenses related to the PPP loan, for which the Company intends to file for forgiveness before the end of November.

 

Net Income/Loss

 

Consolidated net loss for the third quarter 2020 increased $314,000 from the prior year period due primarily to higher research and development expenses, higher foreign exchange losses and higher interest expense offset by greater gross profit margin contribution.

 24 
 

 

Net consolidated revenue decreased $5.9 million or 15.9% from the prior year period due primarily to a reduction in revenue at our RBS product group. The decline in revenue at RBS was due to a reduction in sales of our digital signal hardware processing cards in the first quarter to our then largest customer and ongoing lack of sales to that customer due to lack of demand which represented $9.4 million of the decrease. As previously disclosed, demand from our formerly largest customer for our digital signal processing cards was expected to significantly decline in 2020 as compared to 2019. This decrease of signal processing card revenue in the RBS product group was offset by an increase of $1.2 million in revenues from sales of our LTE software licenses and services.

 

Also contributing to the consolidated revenue decrease from the prior year is a $2.0 million decrease in RFC revenues due to lower spending by carriers on large venues and campuses due to the uncertainty caused by the Covid 19 pandemic.

 

The declines in RBS and RFC were offset by a $4.8 million increase in revenue at the T&M product group primarily due to the inclusion of Holzworth revenues of $5.7 million from the date of acquisition offset by lower revenues in other product groups. The decline in other T&M revenue is due primarily to lower capital expenditures by our customers due to the Covid 19 pandemic.

 

Gross Profit (in thousands)

Total gross profit  $15,749   $16,685    50.1%   44.7%  $(936)   -5.6%

 

Consolidated gross profit decreased $936,000 primarily due to lower sales volumes at the RBS and RFC product groups as described above, which were only partially offset by the gross profit contribution of Holzworth in the T&M product group. Gross profit margin increased from 44.7% to 50.1% due to higher margin software sales at the RBS product group, the contribution of higher margin Holzworth products at the T&M product group and the impact of cost savings activities initiated by the Company at the beginning of the year.

Total operating expenses  $17,513   $17,615    55.8%   47.2%  $(102)   -0.6%

 

Research and development expenses increased $524,000 from the prior year period due to an increase in third party research and development expenses of $619,000 due to 5G product development and T&M product development as well as the inclusion of $410,000 of Holzworth research and development expenses in the current year. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in salaries and benefits of $466,000 due to expense reductions initiated at the beginning of the year.

 

 25 
 

 

Sales and marketing expense decreased $607,000 from the prior year period due primarily to expense reductions. These expense reductions included lower salaries and benefits of $680,000 due to lower headcount primarily as a result of costs savings initiatives, lower commissions expense of $265,000, lower depreciation expense of $201,000 and reduction of $298,000 related to lower travel and marketing expenses. These reductions were offset by the inclusion of $845,000 of sales and marketing expenses related to Holzworth.

 

General and administrative expenses were flat with the prior period. The inclusion of $553,000 of Holzworth general and administrative expenses was offset by lower intangible amortization expense, stock compensation expense and other discretionary expense reductions as a result of cost savings initiatives.

 

Other Income/(Expense)

 

Other income was flat with the prior year period as an increase in foreign exchange losses recognized on monetary assets and liabilities was offset by gains on asset sales as compared to the prior year period.

 

Interest Expense

 

Consolidated interest expense increased $479,000 primarily related to interest on the new Term Loan Facility.

 

Taxes

 

The Company recorded a tax provision in the nine months ended September 30, 2020 of $352,000 as compared to a tax benefit of $256,000 in the prior year period. The tax provision in the nine months ended September 30, 2020 includes the accounting for non-deductible qualified expenses related to the PPP loan for which the Company intends to file for forgiveness before the end of November.

 

Net Income/Loss

 

Net loss increased from $649,000 in the prior year period to $2.6 million due primarily to lower gross profit caused by lower revenues, increased interest expense and increased tax expense.

 

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

 

As disclosed in Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, on February 7, 2020 the Company entered into the Term Loan Facility with Muzinich in the principal amount of $8.4 million to fund the cash portion of the purchase price for the Holzworth acquisition. Additionally, on February 7, 2020 the Company and certain of its subsidiaries entered into Amendment No. 5 to the Credit Facility with Bank of America N.A. By entering into the Amendment, Holzworth, and CommAgility Limited became borrowers under the Credit Facility. Effectiveness of Amendment No. 5 was conditioned upon, among other things, the prepayment of the remaining principal balance ($304,000) of the $760,000 term loan made available under the Credit Facility.

 

On May 4, 2020 the Company received $2.0 million pursuant to a loan under the PPP of the 2020 CARES Act administered by the Small Business Association. The loan is from Bank of America N.A., has an interest rate of 1% and a term of 24 months. Funds from the loan may only be used for certain purposes, including payroll, benefits, rent and utilities, and a portion of the loan used to pay certain costs may be forgivable, all as provided by the terms of the PPP. The loan is evidenced by a promissory note, which contains customary events of default relating to, among other things, payment defaults and breaches of representations and warranties. The Company may prepay the loan at any time prior to maturity with no prepayment penalties.

 

On May 4, 2020 the Company entered into Amendment No. 6 to the Credit Facility with Bank of America N.A. and Amendment No. 1 to the Term Loan facility with Muzinich. The amendments allowed the Company to accept the PPP loan and provide that the PPP loan shall not be deemed to constitute “Debt” or “Indebtedness” as defined in the Credit Facility and the Term Loan Facility, respectively, as long as the proceeds of the PPP loan are used for allowable purposes under the provisions of CARES Act that should permit the Company to obtain forgiveness of substantially all of the loan. The amendments to the Credit Facility and Term Loan Facility also contain certain representations and warranties of the Company.

 

On October 19, 2020 the Company’s covered period, as defined by the PPP loan, expired. The Company used the funds received by the PPP loan for allowable purposes, most notably payroll expenses of our U.S. based employees. The Company intends to apply for forgiveness before the end of November, however, no assurance can be provided that the Company will obtain forgiveness of the PPP loan in whole or in part.

 

 26 
 

 

As of September 30, 2020, the Company had consolidated cash of $2.2 million, availability under our asset-based Credit Facility of $6.5 million and gross debt of $10.4 million. As of December 31, 2019, the Company had consolidated cash of $4.2 million, availability under our asset-based Credit Facility of $2.7 million and gross debt of $2.7 million. The increase in our debt position is attributable to the term loan used to finance the Holzworth acquisition and the PPP loan offset partially by a reduction in our Revolver balance. As of September 30, 2020, $1.6 million of our cash and cash equivalents are held outside the United States. Income taxes have been provided on foreign earnings such that there would be no significant income tax expense to repatriate the portion of this cash that is not required to meet operational needs of our international subsidiary.

 

As of September 30, 2020, there was no outstanding balance on our asset based Revolver, $8.3 million was outstanding on our Term Loan and $2.0 million was outstanding on our PPP loan. As of September 30, 2020, and the date hereof, the Company is in compliance with the covenants of the Credit Facility and the Term Loan Facility.

 

We expect borrowings available to us under our Credit Facility, our existing cash balance and cash generated by operations will be sufficient to meet our liquidity needs for the next twelve months. Our ability to meet our cash requirements will depend on our ability to generate cash in the future, which is subject to general economic, financial, competitive, legislative, regulatory and other factors that are beyond our control, including the Covid-19 pandemic and the significantly decreased demand in the first quarter from our formerly largest customer for our digital signal processing cards and ongoing lack of sales to that customer due to lack of demand, as well as delayed decisions on large private network projects that we believe are caused by economic uncertainty driven by the pandemic. We expect these uncertainties to extend to our business in the fourth quarter, as sales, deliveries, cash collections, our supply chain and our business partners could be adversely affected. It is reasonably possible, that the disruptions caused by Covid-19 and the ongoing lack of demand for our digital signal processing cards will have an impact on our ability to comply with our financial debt covenants which could result in a default under either or both of our Credit Facility and Term Loan, which requires an increasing consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio for the 12-months ended December 31, 2020, and minimum liquidity under our UK borrowing base. A default under one would cause a cross default under the other. If the Company were unable to cure any defaults, the lenders could demand immediate repayment of all outstanding borrowings and/or foreclose on all or part of the collateral pledged to them as security for the indebtedness. Management is actively discussing these issues with lenders and believes the risk of default will be eliminated through appropriate cash flow management, including with respect to potential earn out payments and amendments of credit agreements.

 

Operating Activities

 

Cash used by operating activities was $852,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 as compared to $1.6 million in the prior year period. The decrease in cash used from operating activities was due to the CommAgility contingent consideration payment in the prior year period and favorable impact of working capital in the current year period.

 

Investing Activities

 

Cash used by investing activities was $7.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 which was higher than the prior year period cash used of $765,000 due to the purchase of Holzworth.

 

Financing Activities

 

Cash provided by financing activities was $6.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 as compared to $179,000 for the prior year period. The increase was due to the term loan financing used for the cash portion of the Holzworth purchase price offset by debt issuance fees as well as the receipt of the PPP loan offset by a reduced revolver balance.

 

The Company may pursue strategic opportunities, including potential acquisitions, mergers, divestitures or other activities, which may require significant use of the Company’s capital resources. The Company may incur costs as a result of such activities and such activities may affect the Company’s liquidity in future periods. In order to fund such activities, the Company may need to incur additional debt or issue additional securities if market conditions are favorable. However, there can be no certainty that such funding will be available in needed quantities on terms favorable to the Company or at all.

 

On August 27, 2018 the Company filed a shelf registration statement on Form S-3 which was declared effective on September 17, 2018. The Form S-3 will permit the Company to issue and sell, from time to time, up to $40 million in aggregate value of shares of its common stock through one or more methods of distribution, subject to applicable SEC limits on the value of securities that the Company, as a smaller reporting company, may sell during an applicable period, market conditions, and the Company’s capital desires and needs. Given current market conditions, the Company has no current plans to offer any common stock under the shelf registration statement.

 

The terms of any offering of the Company’s common stock, and the intended use of the net proceeds resulting therefrom, will be established at the times of the offerings and will be described in prospectus supplements filed with the SEC at the times of the offerings. The shelf registration statement is intended to provide financial flexibility to access capital in a competitive and expeditious manner when market conditions are appropriate. The shelf registration statement expires on September 17, 2021.

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as of the end of the period covered by this report, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that the information required to be included in our Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and that the information relating to Wireless Telecom Group, Inc., including our consolidated subsidiaries, is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures are effective.

 

(b) Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

We acquired Holzworth on February 7, 2020. We have begun the process to integrate the operations of Holzworth into our overall system of internal control over financial reporting.

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic, the majority of our workforce has transitioned to working remotely. There have been no significant changes to our internal controls over financial reporting as a result of our workforce working remotely.

 

There were no other changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting, as described in our 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

 

The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has caused and is expected to continue to cause significant uncertainty in the U.S. and global economies as well as the markets we serve and has and is expected to continue to adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

 

The Covid-19 pandemic continues to spread throughout the U.S. and in various parts of the world and has resulted in and is expected to continue to result in authorities implementing numerous measures to contain the virus, including travel bans and restrictions, quarantines, shelter-in-place orders, and business limitations and shutdowns. We have been and continue to be unable to accurately predict the full impact that Covid-19 will have on our results of operations, financial condition, liquidity and cash flows due to numerous uncertainties, including the duration and severity of the pandemic and containment measures, the nature and length of actions taken by governments, businesses and individuals to contain or mitigate its impact, the severity and duration of the economic impact caused by the pandemic, the uncertainty surrounding possible treatments or vaccines, along with the effectiveness of our response. Our compliance with containment and mitigation measures has impacted our day-to-day operations and is expected to continue to disrupt our business and operations, as well as that of our key customers, suppliers (including contract manufacturers) and other counterparties, for an indefinite period of time.

 

To support the health and well-being of our employees, customers, partners and communities, since approximately March 16, 2020, all of our non-essential employees have been working remotely. This represents approximately two thirds of our workforce. The increase in certain of our employees working remotely has amplified certain risks to our business, including increased demand on our information technology resources and systems, increased phishing, business email compromise and other cybersecurity attacks, including increased introduction of malware, as cybercriminals try to exploit the uncertainty surrounding the Covid-19 pandemic, and an increase in the number of points of potential attack, such as laptops and mobile devices (both of which are now being used in increased numbers), to be secured, and any failure to effectively manage these risks, including to timely identify and appropriately respond to any cyberattacks or other disruption to our technology infrastructure, may adversely affect our business.

 

In addition, we understand that the employees of many of our customers are working remotely, which may delay the timing of some orders as well as shipments and cash collections. The disruptions to our operations caused by Covid-19 could result in inefficiencies, delays and additional costs in our product development, sales, marketing, and customer service efforts that we cannot fully mitigate through remote or other alternative work arrangements. There remains significant uncertainty around sales, cash collections, costs related to our Covid-19 mediation efforts and costs and timing related to anticipated easing of shelter-in-place and shut-down orders in the third quarter and going forward into the remainder of the fiscal year.

 

More generally, the pandemic has resulted in and is expected to continue to result in an extended global economic downturn, causing volatility in financial markets, which has affected and is expected to continue to affect demand for our products and services and impact our results and financial condition even after the pandemic is contained and the shelter-in-place orders are lifted. For example, we may be unable to collect receivables from those customers significantly impacted by COVID-19. Decrease in orders in a given period have and are expected to continue to negatively affect our revenues in future periods, particularly if experienced on a sustained basis. The pandemic may also have the effect of heightening many of the other risks described in “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019, especially those risks associated with our customers and supply chain.

 

 30 
 

 

Our degree of leverage could prevent us from meeting obligations on our indebtedness, adversely affect our ability to raise additional capital to fund our operations, limit our ability to react to changes in the economy or our industry, and expose us to interest rate risk on our variable rate debt.

 

We currently have a credit facility with Bank of America providing an asset-based revolver and a term loan facility with Muzinich BDC which provides for a term loan in the amount of $8.4 million.

 

Our degree of leverage could have consequences, including:

 

  making it more difficult for us to make payment on our indebtedness;
  increasing our vulnerability to general economic and industry conditions;
  requiring a substantial portion of cash flow from operations to be dedicated to the payment of principal and interest on our indebtedness, thereby reducing our ability to use our cash flow to fund our operations, capital expenditures, research and development and future business opportunities;
  exposing us to the risk of increased interest rates;
  limiting our ability to make strategic acquisitions and investments;
  limiting our ability to refinance our indebtedness as it becomes due; and
  limiting our ability to adjust quickly or at all to changing market conditions and placing us at a competitive disadvantage compared to our competitors who are less highly leveraged.

 

Our ability to continue to fund our obligations and to reduce debt may be affected by the Covid-19 pandemic and other general economic, financial market, competitive, legislative and regulatory factors, among other things. An inability to fund our debt requirements or reduce debt could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, cash flows and financial condition.

 

The ongoing uncertainties caused by the Covid-19 pandemic could have significant adverse consequences for our credit facility and term loan facility.

 

The agreements governing our term loan and credit facility limit our ability, among other things, to incur additional secured indebtedness, incur liens, pay dividends, enter into transactions with our affiliates, and sell assets. In addition, our credit facility contains restrictive covenants that limit our ability to engage in activities that might be in our long term best interest, such as, subject to permitted exceptions, making capital expenditures in excess of certain thresholds, making investments and acquisitions, and extending loans and other advances to affiliates. Furthermore, the term loan facility contains specific financial covenants including a quarterly leverage test, fixed charge coverage test and a liquidity requirement for our CommAgility business. The credit facility with Bank of America contains one financial covenant which is a fixed charge coverage test. The ongoing Covid-19 pandemic has given rise to significant uncertainties with respect to the U.S. and global economies as well as the markets we serve. The impact of those uncertainties has resulted in a significant downturn in our business, which is reasonably likely to make compliance with certain financial covenants challenging during the fourth quarter and beyond. A default of a covenant in our Muzinich term loan facility would trigger a cross default in our Bank of America credit facility and vice versa.

 

Our failure to comply with financial and other restrictive covenants could result in an event of default and cross default, which if not cured or waived, could result in the lenders requiring immediate payment of all outstanding borrowings or foreclosing on collateral pledged to them to secure the indebtedness.
