Forward-Looking Statements

 

Unless the context indicates otherwise, all references in this document to “we,” “us”, “our” and the “Company” refer to Global Axcess Corp and its subsidiaries.

 

In addition to historical information, this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially. Factors that might cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, those discussed in the section entitled "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations." You should carefully review the risks described in other documents we file from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q that have been or are to be filed in 2012.

 

When used in this report, the words “outlook”, "expects," "anticipates," "intends," "plans," "believes," "seeks," "targets," "estimates," and similar expressions are generally intended to identify forward-looking statements. You should not place undue reliance on the forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. We undertake no obligation to publicly release any revisions to the forward-looking statements or reflect events or circumstances after the date of this document.

 

Estimates of future financial results are inherently unreliable.

 

From time to time, representatives of the Company may make public predictions or forecasts regarding the Company's future results, including estimates regarding future revenues, expense levels, earnings or earnings from operations. Any forecast regarding the Company's future performance reflects various assumptions. These assumptions are subject to significant uncertainties and, as a matter of course, many of them will prove to be incorrect. Further, the achievement of any forecast depends on numerous factors (including those described in this discussion), many of which are beyond the Company's control. As a result, there can be no assurance that the Company's performance will be consistent with any management forecasts or that the variation from such forecasts will not be material and adverse. Investors are cautioned not to base their entire analysis of the Company's business and prospects upon isolated predictions, but instead are encouraged to utilize the entire available mix of historical and forward-looking information made available by the Company, and other information affecting the Company and its products, when evaluating the Company's prospective results of operations.

 

In addition, representatives of the Company may occasionally comment publicly on the perceived reasonableness of published reports by independent analysts regarding the Company's projected future performance. Such comments should not be interpreted as an endorsement or adoption of any given estimate or range of estimates or the assumptions and methodologies upon which such estimates are based. Undue reliance should not be placed on any comments regarding the conformity, or lack thereof, of any independent estimates with the Company's own present expectations regarding its future results of operations. The methodologies employed by the Company in arriving at its own internal projections and the approaches taken by independent analysts in making their estimates are likely different in many significant respects. Although the Company may presently perceive a given estimate to be reasonable, changes in the Company's business, market conditions or the general economic climate may have varying effects on the results obtained through the use of differing analyses and assumptions. The Company expressly disclaims any continuing responsibility to advise analysts or the public markets of its view regarding the current accuracy of the published estimates of outside analysts. Persons relying on such estimates should pursue their own independent investigation and analysis of their accuracy and the reasonableness of the assumptions on which they are based.

Earnings per Share

  

In calculating basic income per share, net income is divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted net income per common share is computed based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period increased by the effect of dilutive stock options and stock purchase warrants using the treasury stock method. No such conversion is assumed where the effect is anti-dilutive, such as when there is a net loss from operations or when the exercise price of the potentially dilutive securities is greater than the market value of the Company’s stock.

For the three months ended September 30, 2012 there were stock options outstanding to acquire 1,035,844  shares of the Company’s common stock, and stock warrants to purchase 30,000 shares of common stock which were excluded from the calculation of its diluted earnings per share as their effect would be anti-dilutive. For the three months ended September 30, 2011 there were stock options outstanding to acquire 1,875,876 shares of the Company’s common stock which were excluded from the calculation of its diluted earnings per share as their effect would be anti-dilutive.

Deferred Tax Asset

 

In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) guidance, we use the liability method of accounting for income taxes. Significant management judgment is required in determining the provision for income taxes and, in particular, any valuation allowance that is recorded or released against our deferred tax assets.

 

The Company had net deferred tax assets of $1,975,211 at September 30, 2012. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to be applied to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.

 

The ultimate realization of the deferred tax assets are primarily dependent on generating sufficient future taxable income or being able to carryback any taxable losses and claim refunds against previously paid income taxes. Even though the Company incurred a loss in fiscal 2011 and 2010, it had taxable income for the two years prior and believes that based upon its business plan, it will return to future profitability, and as such, a portion of its net deferred income tax assets at September 30, 2012, is realizable. If future operating results generate taxable losses, it may be necessary to increase valuation allowances to reduce the amount of the deferred income tax assets to realizable value. Our judgments regarding future taxable income may change due to changes in market conditions, changes in tax laws, operating results or other factors.

 

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In September 2011, the FASB amended the guidance on the annual testing of goodwill for impairment. The amended guidance will allow companies to assess qualitative factors to determine if it is more-likely-than-not that goodwill might be impaired and whether it is necessary to perform the two-step goodwill impairment test required under current accounting standards. We adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2012. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material effect on our financial statements.

 

In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-05, Presentation of Comprehensive Income. For annual periods, an entity has the option to present the components of comprehensive income (loss) either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income (loss) or in two separate but consecutive statements. For interim periods, total comprehensive income (loss) is required to be disclosed either below net income (loss) on the income statement or as a separate statement. The ASU does not change the items that must be reported as other comprehensive income (loss). Whether presenting two separate statements or one continuous statement in annual periods, the ASU required entities to present reclassifications from other comprehensive income (loss) in the statement reporting net income (loss). In December 2011, however, the FASB deferred this requirement when it issued ASU 2011-12, Deferral of the Effective Date for Amendments to the Presentation of Reclassification of Items Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income in Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05, which has the same effective date as ASU 2011-05. Companies must continue to disclose reclassifications from other comprehensive income (loss) on the statement that reports other comprehensive income (loss), or in the notes to the financial statements. We adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2012, and included a statement of comprehensive income in our interim financial statements. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material effect on our financial statements.

On June 18, 2010, the Company, entered into a $17.0 million credit facility with Fifth Third Bank ("Fifth Third"). The credit facility consists of three components: (i) a term loan of $5.0 million, (ii) a draw loan of up to $2.0 million, and (iii) an equipment finance line of up to $10.0 million.

 

The term loan and the draw loan are covered by a Loan and Security Agreement, dated as of June 18, 2010 (the "Loan Agreement"), among the Company, Nationwide Money Services, Inc., Nationwide Ntertainment Services, Inc., EFT Integration, Inc. (all subsidiaries of the Company) and Fifth Third.

 

The Loan Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants, including covenants on the following: (1) due authorization; (2) compliance with laws; (3) absence of breach; (4) collateral ownership and limitation of liens; (5) preparation of financial statements; (6) litigation and taxes; (7) events of default; (8) ERISA obligations; (9) use of loan proceeds; (10) limitations on indebtedness, liens and certain investments; (11) limitations on changes in ownership structure; (12) dividends; (13) repurchases of shares; and (14) maintenance of certain accounts with Fifth Third. The Loan Agreement, Term Promissory Note, and Draw Promissory Note also include customary default provisions, including, without limitation, payment defaults, cross-defaults to other material indebtedness, and bankruptcy and insolvency. In general, upon an event of default, Fifth Third may, among other things, declare the outstanding principal and interest immediately due and payable.

 

Pursuant to the terms of the Loan Agreement and the Lease Agreement, the Company granted Fifth Third a security interest in all of its assets, and the agreements are cross-collateralized.

Effective June 1, 2012 the Company entered into a refinancing agreement on several of its credit facilities that effectively extended the amortization of principal from an average of 36 months to an average of 48 months. Additionally, this amendment called for no principal payments for June and July 2012 on select facilities; with principal payments on these facilities reset to August 1. In exchange for the extension of the amortization, the interest rate on all affected debt increased to one month LIBOR plus 750 basis points through March 2013. The affected facilities listed below are (2), (3), (5), (6), and (7). In additions to this agreement, effective September 30, 2012, the Company entered into an amendment for which certain specified draw loans were amended to forego principal payments until maturity or acceleration, or such other date that all other amounts of obligations are to be paid in full. This amendment reset interest back to rates that existed prior to the June 1, 2012 amendment.

 

Effective August 13, 2012 and then again on September 28, 2012, the Company entered into amendments with Fifth Third Bank which required certain cash flow forecasts and for which certain specified draw loans were amended to forego principal payments ultimately until maturity or acceleration, or such other date that all other amounts of obligations are to be paid in full by December 1, 2012. Loans (1), (2), (3), (4), (5), (6), and (7) below were effected. As a result, all outstanding Fifth Third loans and related interest rate swaps have been reclassified to current liabilities.

 

(1). On the day of closing of the Loan Agreement, the Company issued a promissory note (the "Term Promissory Note") in the amount of $5.0 million to Fifth Third covering the amount disbursed pursuant to the term loan. The Term Promissory Note was available to the Company as a single principal advance. Principal and interest payable under the original Term Promissory Note were to be paid in the amount borrowed over 36 months, beginning July 1, 2010, with 36 monthly principal payments plus accrued interest, with the final payment to be made on May 31, 2013. On January 6, 2012, the Company entered into a modification (the “Modification”) of the Term promissory Note with Fifth Third. As part of the Modification, the Company re-amortized the principal balance of the $2.5 million on this note (as of December 31, 2011) from 17 months remaining to 36 months remaining. The original Term Promissory Note carries interest of LIBOR plus up to 400 basis points based on a ratio of the Company’s indebtedness to EBITDA or 5.5%, whichever is greater. As of September 30, 2012, the interest rate on this facility was 5.5%.

 

(2). The equipment finance line is covered by a Master Equipment Lease Agreement, dated as of June 18, 2010 (the "Lease Agreement"), among the Company, Nationwide Money Services, Inc., Nationwide Ntertainment Services, Inc., and Fifth Third. The Lease Agreement and the corresponding equipment finance line available from Fifth Third are used to fund the purchases of up to $10.0 million of equipment (ATM and DVD kiosks), from time to time, and is available to the Company over a five year period. The line is secured by any equipment that is purchased pursuant to the line. The equipment line may also be used to support IT infrastructure. Borrowings made by the Company pursuant to this equipment line carry a term of one-year interest-only followed by an amortization of three years subsequent to each closing of a drawdown schedule. During an interim period between drawdowns and the closing of a drawdown schedule, the line carries interest-only payments. On March 31, 2011 the Company entered into a 12-month forward looking interest rate swap agreement on a $3,976,531 equipment lease schedule with Fifth Third Bank which effectively fixed its LIBOR interest rate at 2.45% as of April 1, 2012. By fixing the LIBOR rate on its equipment lease schedule at 2.45% effective April 1, 2012, interest rate paid on the $3,976,531 equipment lease schedule was 6.45% beginning April 1, 2012. The Company entered into a minor modification of terms with this hedge in association with the June 1, 2012 refinancing agreement. This amendment was made in order to reflect the waiver that reset principal payments originally due in June and July of 2012 to August 1, 2012. All other terms of the hedge remained as originally agreed upon. As a result of the August 13, 2012 amendment entered into with the bank, the terms of the swap were altered. This rendered the hedge ineffective. As a result, the mark to market fair value amount between the company and its counter party was booked to interest expense during the quarter. As of September 30, 2012, the Company had drawn down a total of $7,538,650 against the Lease Agreement. $3,227,385 of the total draw down will be on an interim interest-only schedule. As of September 30, 2012, the interest rate on this facility was 5.5%.

 

(3). Also on the day of the closing of the Loan Agreement, the Company issued a promissory note (the "Draw Promissory Note") to Fifth Third covering any amounts which might be disbursed pursuant to the draw loan, which can be a maximum of $2.0 million. The Company can request disbursement from the draw loan in $200,000 increments at any time after the delivery of the Draw Promissory Note. The Company will repay any amounts borrowed pursuant to the Draw Promissory Note over 18 months, beginning on the first day of the month following any draw, with 18 monthly principal payments plus accrued interest. The original Draw Promissory Note carries interest of LIBOR plus up to 400 basis points based on a ratio of the Company’s indebtedness to EBITDA or 5.5%, whichever is greater. The amended promissory note carries interest of one month LIBOR plus 750 basis points. The proceeds of any amounts disbursed pursuant to the draw loan will be used to purchase DVD inventory for the Company’s DVD kiosk business line. As of September 30, 2012, the Company had drawn down a total of $1,994,678 against the Draw Promissory Note and had an outstanding principal balance of $240,104. As of September 30, 2012, the interest rate on this facility was 5.5%.

(4). On September 28, 2011, the Company issued a promissory note (the "Draw Promissory Note # 2") to Fifth Third covering any amounts which might be disbursed pursuant to the draw loan, which can be a maximum of $960,000. The Company can request disbursement from the draw loan in $200,000 increments at any time after the delivery of the Draw Promissory Note. The Company will repay any amounts borrowed pursuant to the Draw Promissory Note over 18 months, beginning on the first day of the month following any draw, with 18 monthly principal payments plus accrued interest. The Draw Promissory Note carries interest of LIBOR plus up to 900 basis points based on a ratio of the Company’s indebtedness to EBITDA or 5.5%, whichever is greater. The proceeds of any amounts disbursed pursuant to the draw loan will be used to purchase DVD inventory for the Company’s DVD kiosk business line. As of September 30, 2012, the Company had drawn down a total of $960,000 against the Draw Promissory Note # 2 and had an outstanding principal balance of $517,043. As of September 30, 2012, the interest rate on this facility was 9.2%.

  

(5). On December 17, 2010, the Company and Fifth Third entered into a First Amendment (the “Amendment”) to the Loan Agreement. Pursuant to the Amendment, the Company and Fifth Third modified the draw loan aspect of the Loan Agreement to permit for additional financing in the amount of $1,650,000 under the terms of the draw loan for the purposes of purchasing certain assets and customer contracts connected with recent acquisition agreements. The Amendment increased the maximum aggregate credit availability pursuant to the Loan Agreement from $17.0 million to $18.65 million. The draw loan maturity date is the earlier of 36 months (December 15, 2013) or the expiration or earlier termination of the customer agreements that were acquired with the proceeds of the draw loan. As security for the loan to be extended under the Amendment, in addition to that which was granted under the Loan Agreement, the Company granted security interests in the assets to be acquired pursuant to the recent acquisition agreements. The Amendment carries interest of LIBOR plus up to 400 basis points based on a ratio of the Company’s indebtedness to EBITDA or 5.5%, whichever is greater. Additionally, this draw loan was part of the refinancing amendment effective June 1, 2012. The amended promissory note as of June 1, 2012 increased interest to one month LIBOR plus 750 basis points. As of September 30, 2012, the Company had drawn down $1,520,162 against the Amendment and had an outstanding principal balance of $1,015,989. As of September 30, 2012, the interest rate on this facility was 5.5%.

  

(6). On December 29, 2011, the Company, entered into a $3.0 million credit facility (“$3.0m credit facility”) with Fifth Third Bank. The credit facility consists of a draw loan of up to $3.0 million. On the day of closing of the Loan Agreement, the Company issued two promissory notes (the “Draw Loan C Promissory Notes”) in the amount of $40,800 and $51,600, respectively, to Fifth Third covering an initial disbursal pursuant to the draw loan. The Company will repay the amount borrowed on each of the Draw Loan C Promissory Notes, beginning on February 29, 2012, on the date which is the earlier of (i) 45 months following the date of the note, and (ii) the expiration date or earlier termination of the Customer Agreements; but, in any event, on either note, not later than May 31, 2015. The original Draw Loan C Promissory Notes carry interest of LIBOR plus up to 600 basis points or 6.0%, whichever is greater. The amended promissory notes carry interest of one month LIBOR plus 750 basis points. The proceeds of the Draw Loan C Promissory Notes were used to purchase certain identified customer contracts. The proceeds from any future draw loans made pursuant to the Loan Agreement shall be used for the acquisition of identified customer agreements, and purchases of ATM related equipment and inventory. As of September 30, 2012, the Company had an outstanding principal balance of $85,880 against the $3.0 m credit facility. As of September 30, 2012, the interest rate on this facility was 6.2%.

  

(7). On November 23, 2011, the Company, entered into a $1.0 million credit facility (“$1.0m credit facility”) with Fifth Third Bank. The credit facility consists of a draw loan of up to $1.0 million. On the day of closing of the $1.0m credit facility, the Company issued a promissory note in the amount of $200,000 to fund an acquisition of customer agreements. The Company will repay the amount borrowed on the date which is the earlier of (i) 36 months following the date of the note, and (ii) the expiration date or earlier termination of the Customer Agreements; but, in any event, on either note, not later than May 31, 2015. The original promissory note carries interest of LIBOR plus up to 600 basis points or 6.0%, whichever is greater. The amended promissory note carries interest of one month LIBOR plus 750 basis points. The proceeds from any future draw loans made pursuant to the $1.0m credit facility shall be used for the acquisition of identified customer agreements. As of September 30, 2012, the Company had an outstanding principal balance of $916,219 against the $1.0m credit facility. As of September 30, 2012, the interest rate on this facility was 6.2%.

(8). On November 21, 2011, the Company, entered into a $250,000 credit facility (“$250 thousand credit facility”) with Fifth Third Bank. The credit facility consists of a draw loan of up to $250,000. On the day of closing the $250 thousand credit facility, the Company paid $250,000 to fund an acquisition of customer ATMs. The Company will repay the amount borrowed on the date which is the earlier of (i) 36 months following the date of the note, and (ii) the expiration date or earlier termination of the Customer Agreements; but, in any event, on either note, not later than December 1, 2014. The promissory notes carry interest of LIBOR plus up to 600 basis points or 6.0%, whichever is greater. As of September 30, 2012, the Company had an outstanding principal balance of $202,536 against the $250 thousand credit facility. The interest rate on the balances under the $250 thousand credit facility at September 30, 2012 was 6.2%.

 

On May 26, 2011 the Company entered into a 12-month forward looking interest rate swap agreement on $20 million with Fifth Third Bank which swapped the interest rate on the Company’s vault cash. The effective date of the rate swap was June 1, 2012. Beginning in June, the Company began realizing the difference between its variable rate, and effectively fixed rate, a difference of 1.29%.

 

On November 13, 2012 the company entered into a forbearance agreement and amendment with Fifth Third Bank. The Forbearance Agreement operates as a forbearance by Fifth Third of its rights against the Company with respect to several existing defaults by the Company under the Loan Agreements and the Lease Agreements. Specifically, Fifth Third agreed not to exercise certain rights in respect to the existing defaults for a period commencing on the date of the Forbearance Agreement and ending on the date which is the earliest of (i) February 15, 2013, (ii) the occurrence or existence of any event of default, other than the existing defaults, or (iii) the occurrence of any Termination Event (as defined in the Forbearance Agreement).

 

The Forbearance Agreement also operates as an omnibus amendment to certain terms contained in the Loan Agreements, in exchange for certain agreements and representations made by the Company.

 

Revolving Loans

 

Under the Forbearance Agreement, Fifth Third agrees to make certain loans available to the Company up to an aggregate principal amount of $1.0 million (which may be increased to $1.5 million at the sole discretion of Fifth Third) under the terms of a revolving note attached to the Forbearance Agreement. Interest on these revolving loans will accrue at an annual rate of LIBOR + 12.0%. Proceeds under the revolving loans may only be used as specified in the Company’s approved budget (as discussed below) and the Company must pay a $30,000 closing fee associated with the loan.

 

Sale Covenants

 

The Forbearance Agreement also calls for the Company to deliver evidences, at certain pre-designated times of commitments, in form and substance acceptable to Fifth Third, related to a reorganization of the Company, including: offering memoranda, letters of intent, definitive offers, and definitive purchase agreements for the sale of all or substantially all company assets and/or the businesses of the company. The Forbearance Agreement calls for the reorganization of the Company to be completed no later than February 15, 2013 (or such later date as the parties may agree).

 

Budget Covenants

 

The Forbearance Agreement also requires the Company to comply with certain cash flow and budget forecast covenants. Specifically, the Company must deliver cash flow forecasts and reconciliations (and explanations of material variances) to Fifth Third on a weekly basis. Pursuant to these covenants (an extension of the requirement put in place by the September 28, 2012 amendment to the Loan Agreements), the Company must also (i) generate cash receipts in an amount equal to at least ninety percent (90%) of the aggregate amount set forth in the weekly budget projections (with a reference period beginning on October 15, 2012), and (ii) make aggregate cash disbursements no greater than ten percent (10%) more than the amount set in the weekly budget projections (with a reference period beginning on September 10, 2012). Furthermore, any proceeds collected by the Company based on enumerated collateral, must only be used for the purposes specified in the Company’s provided budget.

 

20
 

 

Management Structuring

 

The Forbearance Agreement requires that, at all times when the Forbearance Agreement is active, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer shall be Kevin Reager (the Company’s current Chief Executive Officer), or such other person as may be agreed to by Fifth Third.

 

The Forbearance Agreement also requires the Company to appoint a new Chief Restructuring Officer, who will be empowered to manage the day-to-day operations of the Company and facilitate the Company’s efforts to reorganize through consummation of a strategic transaction. To such end, the Chief Restructuring Officer will also be empowered to explore, negotiate, and execute, deliver and consummate (subject to approvals of the Company’s board of directors and shareholders, as required by law) any agreements related to such strategic transactions.

 

The Company has appointed Kevin L. Reager (its Chief Executive Officer) as its Chief Restructuring Officer pursuant to this requirement.

 

Outside Consultants

 

The Forbearance Agreement also requires the Company to continue to retain a specified consulting firm, who will monitor and report to Fifth Third on several aspects of the Company’s business and financial condition (an extension and reiteration of the requirement put in place by amendments of the Loan Agreements effective August 13, 2012 and September 28, 2012). The Company must also continue its engagement of a specified investment banker, to assist the Company in connection with such strategic alternatives as the investment banker, the consultant or the Company may propose which are acceptable to Fifth Third (also an extension and reiteration of the requirements put in place by the August 13, 2012 and September 28, 2012 amendments).

 

Additional Commitments

 

The following additional commitments were also made by the Company in connection with the Amendment:

 

With respect to all covered obligations of the Company to Fifth Third, the Company must present term sheets (with investors or other lenders) for refinancing such obligations by October 31, 2012, binding commitments to such refinancing by November 30, 2012 and have closed such refinancing by December 31, 2012.

 

The Company must deliver certain waivers of its landlords related to its leased locations.

 

The Company must provide requested information to Fifth Third on a specified piece of pending litigation involving the Company.

 

The Company is restricted, by the terms of the Amendment from making or paying certain distributions or dividends, advances, loans, redemptions, prepayments, management fees, or other specified payments or set-asides.

 

Except as modified by the Forbearance Agreement, the terms of the Loan Agreements and the Lease Agreement (and each of the related equipment schedules), as amended, remain in full force and effect.

 

The foregoing description of the Forbearance Agreement, including all exhibits attached thereto, is qualified in its entirety by reference to the text of the Forbearance Agreement, a copy of which is attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K (this “Report”) as Exhibit 4.1.

 

(See 8-K filing “Fifth Third Forbearance Agreement” filed on November 14, 2012 for details on specific agreements and representations made by the Company relating to this agreement.)

 

 

5. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

21
 

 

We lease ATMs and back office computer equipment under capital lease agreements that expire between 2012 and 2013. The average interest rate paid on these lease payments is approximately 9.6% per annum. As of September 30, 2012, $298,328 of capital lease obligations were included in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet.

 

 

6. LITIGATION AND CLAIMS

 

From time to time, the Company and its subsidiaries may be parties to, and their property is subject to, ordinary, routine litigation incidental to their business. We know of no material, active or pending legal proceedings against the Company, nor are we involved as a plaintiff in any material proceeding or pending litigation. There are no proceedings in which any of our directors, officers or affiliates, or any registered or beneficial shareholder, is an adverse party or has a material interest adverse to our interest.

 

 

7. INCOME TAXES

 

The effective tax rates for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 were -1.2% and -3.9%, respectively.  The effective tax rates for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 differs from our expected tax rate for the period then-ended primarily due to the tax effects from the change in valuation allowance established for net deferred tax assets.

 

In assessing the realizability of the deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not, that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.  The valuation allowance at September 30, 2012 is related to deferred tax assets arising from net operating loss carryforwards.  Management believes that based upon its projection of future taxable income for the foreseeable future, it is more likely than not that the Company will not be able to realize the full benefit of the net operating loss carryforwards before they expire.

 

At December 31, 2011, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards remaining of approximately $25.5 million that may be offset against future taxable income through 2031.

 

For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, there was no change in gross unrecognized tax benefits. Our total gross unrecognized tax benefit at September 30, 2012 was $1,147,200, of which, if recognized, would favorably affect the effective income tax rate in any future period.

 

As of September 30, 2012, management believes the Company’s net deferred tax assets will be utilized in the coming year as a result of the forbearance agreement (See Financial Footnote #4 “Senior Lenders’ Notes Payable” regarding the details of the agreement) and accordingly classified all net deferred tax assets as current.

 

Our continuing practice is to recognize interest and/or penalties related to uncertain income tax matters in income tax expense. However, the type of uncertain income tax matters involved would not forseeably subject the Company to interest and/or penalties.  As such, we had $0 (net of federal tax benefit) accrued for interest and $0 accrued for penalties at September 30, 2012.

 

There were no income tax audits during the nine months ended September 30, 2012.  With limited exception, the Company’s federal and state tax returns are open for examination for the tax year ending 2009, and all subsequent years.

9. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT

 

 

The Company uses the three-tier fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:

 

Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets;

 

Level 2: Inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and

 

Level 3: Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.

 

On March 31, 2011 the Company entered into a 12-month forward looking interest rate swap agreement on a $3,976,531 equipment lease schedule with Fifth Third Bank which will fix its LIBOR interest rate at 2.45% as of April 1, 2012. The Company expects that by fixing the LIBOR rate on its equipment lease schedule at 2.45% effective April 1, 2012, it will be fixing the interest rate paid on the $3,976,531 equipment lease schedule at 6.45% beginning April 1, 2012 and until then, will remain on an interest-only schedule. Our derivative financial instruments are interest rate swap agreements, which are observable at commonly quoted intervals for the full term of the derivatives and therefore considered a level 2 input.

 

On May 26, 2011 the Company entered into a 12-month forward looking interest rate swap agreement on $20 million with Fifth Third Bank which will swap the interest rate on the Company’s vault cash. The effective date of the rate swap is June 1, 2012 and until then, the Company will continue to pay its variable interest rate on the $20 million of vault cash. Our derivative financial instruments are interest rate swap agreements, which are observable at commonly quoted intervals for the full term of the derivatives and therefore considered a level 2 input.

 

The following tables summarize the Company's assets and liabilities carried at fair value measured on a recurring basis using the fair value hierarchy prescribed by U.S. GAAP:

 

       Fair Value Measurements at September 30, 2012 
   Total   Level 1   Level 2   Level 3 
                 
Assets:                    
   $-   $-   $-   $- 
                     
Liabilities:                    
Liabilities associated with interest rate swaps  $646,910   $-   $646,910   $- 

 

On a recurring basis, we measure our interest rate swap agreements at fair value using an income approach and Level 2 inputs in the fair value hierarchy. The income approach consists of a discounted cash flow model that takes into account the present value of future cash flows under the terms of the contracts incorporating observable market inputs as of the reporting date such as prevailing interest rates. Both the counterparty’s credit risk and our credit risk are considered in the fair value determination.

 

23
 

 

Interest rate swaps. The fair value of the Company's interest rate swaps was a liability of $646,910 as of September 30, 2012. These financial instruments are carried at fair value, calculated as the present value of amounts estimated to be received or paid to a marketplace participant in a selling transaction.

 

 

Cash Flow Hedging Strategy

 

For each derivative instrument that is designated and qualifies as a cash flow hedge (i.e., hedging the exposure to variability in expected future cash flows attributable to a particular risk), the effective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative instrument is reported as a component of other comprehensive income (loss) ("OCI"). Gains and losses on the derivative instrument representing either hedge ineffectiveness or hedge components that are excluded from the assessment of effectiveness are recognized in earnings. Prior to the quarter ending September 30, 2012, the Company only utilized fixed-for-floating interest rate swaps in which the underlying pricing terms agree in all material respects, including the pricing terms of the Company's vault cash rental obligations, the amount of ineffectiveness associated with such interest rate swap contracts has historically been immaterial. Due to the August 13, 2012 amendment entered into during the third quarter, as well as the Forbearance Agreement executed with the bank, the derivative instrument relating to the Company’s equipment lease have been deemed completely ineffective from a cash flow hedging standpoint. As these agreements changed terms of the underlying notional amount, the terms of the hedge was modified resulting in fair value of the Company's cash flow hedge being moved from “OCI” on the company’s balance sheet to interest expense on the company’s income statement in relation to the Company's consolidated financial statements. The amount of this reclassifications was $144,215 (See Financial Footnote #4 “Senior Lenders’ Notes Payable” regarding the details of the debt balances).

 

The interest rate swap contract entered into with respect to the Company's equipment lease schedule effectively modifies the Company's exposure to interest rate risk by converting the Company's monthly floating LIBOR rate to a fixed rate. This contract is in place through March 31, 2015 for $3,976,531 which changed with the latest forbearance agreement. The Company entered into a minor modification of terms with this hedge in association with the June 1, 2012 refinancing agreement. This amendment was made in order to reflect the waiver that reset principal payments originally due in June and July of 2012 to August 1, 2012. See Financial Footnote #4 “Senior Lender Notes’ Payable” regarding the details of this amendment.

 

The interest rate swap contract entered into with respect to the Company's vault cash rental obligations effectively modifies the Company's exposure to interest rate risk by converting a portion of the Company's monthly floating rate vault cash rental expense to a fixed rate. Such contracts are in place from June 1, 2012 through June 1, 2014 for $20 million of the Company's vault cash rental obligations. By converting such amounts to a fixed rate, the impact of future interest rate changes (both favorable and unfavorable) on the Company's monthly vault cash rental expense amounts have reduced. The interest rate swap contract typically involves the receipt of floating rate amounts from the Company's counterparties that match, in all material respects, the floating rate amounts required to be paid by the Company to its vault cash provider for the portions of the Company's outstanding vault cash obligations that have been hedged. In return, the Company typically pays the interest rate swap counterparties a fixed rate amount per month based on the same notional amounts outstanding.

 

At no point is there an exchange of the underlying principal or notional amounts associated with the interest rate swaps. Additionally, none of the Company's existing interest rate swap contracts contain credit-risk-related contingent features.

 

10. BUSINESS SEGMENT INFORMATION

 

FASB requires that companies report separately in the financial statements certain financial and descriptive information about segment revenues, income and assets. The method for determining what information is reported is based on the way that management organizes the operating segments for making operational decisions and assessments of financial performance. In computing operating loss and net loss for the DVD services business and the ATM services business, no allocations of general corporate expenses have been made and these are included in the Corporate Support services business.

The following table summarizes our revenues, gross profit, SG&A, stock compensation expenses, depreciation and amortization, impairment of assets and long-lived assets, restructuring charges, operating income (loss), net income (loss) and Adjusted EBITDA by segment for the periods indicated below.

 

EBITDA (a non-GAAP measure) is defined as earnings before net interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA from operations before restructuring charges, stock compensation expense, gain on sale of assets, and other non-operating expense.

11. RESTRUCTURING CHARGES

 

On February 28, 2011, the Company and George McQuain, the Company’s former Chief Executive Officer, agreed to a mutual separation of Mr. McQuain’s employment. As of February 28, 2011, Mr. McQuain is no longer employed as Chief Executive Officer, Director or in any other capacity, by the Company or any of its subsidiaries. The result of this separation coupled with other reductions in headcount was a restructuring charge of $512,261 recorded during the nine month period ending September 30, 2011. The company also incurred an additional $19,674 in expenses related to headcount reductions during the nine month period ended September 30, 2011.

 

As of September 30, 2012, the Company had paid its severance obligation in full to Mr. McQuain.

 

During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2012, the Company incurred restructuring expenses due to headcount reductions of $47,551.

 

12. DEBT RESTRUCTURING CHARGES

 

During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2012, the Company incurred debt restructuring expenses of $395,000. These expenses include bank fees, legal expenses occurred by the bank in relation to these amendments, as well as fees for consultants the Company was required to hire as a condition of these amendments.

 

 

13. IMPAIRMENT OF LONG LIVED ASSETS

 

During the third quarter of fiscal 2012, we determined that sufficient indicators of potential impairment existed to require a goodwill impairment analysis for the ATM business. These indicators included a recent forbearance agreement signed with Fifth Third Bank (See Financial Footnote #4 “Senior Lenders’ Notes Payable” regarding the details of the agreement), as well as the recent trading values of the Company’s stock coupled with decreases in the company’s profit margin.

We estimated the fair value of the ATM business utilizing a combination of market multiple valuation metrics used in our industry and the present value of discounted cash flows. Cash flow projections are based on management's estimates of revenue growth rates and operating margins, taking into consideration industry and market conditions. The market approach estimates fair value based on market multiples of revenue and earnings derived from comparable companies with similar operating and investment characteristics as the reporting unit.

 

Based on our analyses, the implied fair value of goodwill was lower than the carrying value of goodwill for the ATM business unit. As a result, we recorded an impairment charge of $3,247,497.

 

Additionally, the company identified a group of ATM’s that were no longer useful to the Company. These ATM’s were sold subsequent to September 30, 2012. During the quarter, these ATM’s were written down to their fair market value based on future proceeds to be realized. The impairment charge was $91,235.

 

14. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 

26
 

 

On November 13, 2012 the company entered into a forbearance agreement and amendment with Fifth Third Bank. The Forbearance Agreement operates as a forbearance by Fifth Third of its rights against the Company with respect to several existing defaults by the Company under the Loan Agreements and the Lease Agreements. Specifically, Fifth Third agreed not to exercise certain rights in respect to the existing defaults for a period commencing on the date of the Forbearance Agreement and ending on the date which is the earliest of (i) February 15, 2013, (ii) the occurrence or existence of any event of default, other than the existing defaults, or (iii) the occurrence of any Termination Event (as defined in the Forbearance Agreement).

 

The Forbearance Agreement also operates as an omnibus amendment to certain terms contained in the Loan Agreements, in exchange for certain agreements and representations made by the Company.

 

Revolving Loans

 

Under the Forbearance Agreement, Fifth Third agrees to make certain loans available to the Company up to an aggregate principal amount of $1.0 million (which may be increased to $1.5 million at the sole discretion of Fifth Third) under the terms of a revolving note attached to the Forbearance Agreement. Interest on these revolving loans will accrue at an annual rate of LIBOR + 12.0%. Proceeds under the revolving loans may only be used as specified in the Company’s approved budget (as discussed below) and the Company must pay a $30,000 closing fee associated with the loan.

 

Sale Covenants

 

The Forbearance Agreement also calls for the Company to deliver evidences, at certain pre-designated times of commitments, in form and substance acceptable to Fifth Third, related to a reorganization of the Company, including: offering memoranda, letters of intent, definitive offers, and definitive purchase agreements for the sale of all or substantially all company assets and/or the businesses of the company. The Forbearance Agreement calls for the reorganization of the Company to be completed no later than February 15, 2013 (or such later date as the parties may agree).

 

Budget Covenants

 

The Forbearance Agreement also requires the Company to comply with certain cash flow and budget forecast covenants. Specifically, the Company must deliver cash flow forecasts and reconciliations (and explanations of material variances) to Fifth Third on a weekly basis. Pursuant to these covenants (an extension of the requirement put in place by the September 28, 2012 amendment to the Loan Agreements), the Company must also (i) generate cash receipts in an amount equal to at least ninety percent (90%) of the aggregate amount set forth in the weekly budget projections (with a reference period beginning on October 15, 2012), and (ii) make aggregate cash disbursements no greater than ten percent (10%) more than the amount set in the weekly budget projections (with a reference period beginning on September 10, 2012). Furthermore, any proceeds collected by the Company based on enumerated collateral, must only be used for the purposes specified in the Company’s provided budget.

 

Management Structuring

 

The Forbearance Agreement requires that, at all times when the Forbearance Agreement is active, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer shall be Kevin Reager (the Company’s current Chief Executive Officer), or such other person as may be agreed to by Fifth Third.

 

The Forbearance Agreement also requires the Company to appoint a new Chief Restructuring Officer, who will be empowered to manage the day-to-day operations of the Company and facilitate the Company’s efforts to reorganize through consummation of a strategic transaction. To such end, the Chief Restructuring Officer will also be empowered to explore, negotiate, and execute, deliver and consummate (subject to approvals of the Company’s board of directors and shareholders, as required by law) any agreements related to such strategic transactions.

 

The Company has appointed Kevin L. Reager (its Chief Executive Officer) as its Chief Restructuring Officer pursuant to this requirement.

 

Outside Consultants

 

27
 

 

The Forbearance Agreement also requires the Company to continue to retain a specified consulting firm, who will monitor and report to Fifth Third on several aspects of the Company’s business and financial condition (an extension and reiteration of the requirement put in place by amendments of the Loan Agreements effective August 13, 2012 and September 28, 2012). The Company must also continue its engagement of a specified investment banker, to assist the Company in connection with such strategic alternatives as the investment banker, the consultant or the Company may propose which are acceptable to Fifth Third (also an extension and reiteration of the requirements put in place by the August 13, 2012 and September 28, 2012 amendments).

 

Additional Commitments

 

The following additional commitments were also made by the Company in connection with the Amendment:

 

With respect to all covered obligations of the Company to Fifth Third, the Company must present term sheets (with investors or other lenders) for refinancing such obligations by October 31, 2012, binding commitments to such refinancing by November 30, 2012 and have closed such refinancing by December 31, 2012.

The Company must deliver certain waivers of its landlords related to its leased locations.

The Company must provide requested information to Fifth Third on a specified piece of pending litigation involving the Company.

The Company is restricted, by the terms of the Amendment from making or paying certain distributions or dividends, advances, loans, redemptions, prepayments, management fees, or other specified payments or set-asides.

 

Except as modified by the Forbearance Agreement, the terms of the Loan Agreements and the Lease Agreement (and each of the related equipment schedules), as amended, remain in full force and effect.

 

The foregoing description of the Forbearance Agreement, including all exhibits attached thereto, is qualified in its entirety by reference to the text of the Forbearance Agreement, a copy of which is attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K (this “Report”) as Exhibit 4.1.

 

(See 8-K filing “Fifth Third Forbearance Agreement” filed on November 14, 2012 for details on specific agreements and representations made by the company relating to this agreement.)

 

15. GOING CONCERN MATTERS

 

The Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. As shown in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company incurred net losses attributable to common shareholders of $(5,545,286) and used $833,476 in cash for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. Additionally, the company has a negative working capital (current liabilities exceeded current assets) of $14,063,920 and a deficit accumulated of $(14,620,973) as of September 30, 2012. These factors among others may indicate that the Company will be unable to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time.

 

The Company’s existence is dependent upon management’s ability to develop profitable operations and to obtain additional funding sources. There can be no assurance that the Company’s financing efforts will result in profitable operations or the resolution of the Company’s liquidity problems. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. The company’s intent is to follow to terms and conditions stated in the forbearance agreement with Fifth Third Bank (See Financial Footnote #4 “Senior Lenders’ Notes Payable”).

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

 

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto.

 

Overview

 

Global Axcess Corp, through its wholly owned subsidiaries, owns or leases, operates or manages Automated Teller Machines ("ATM"s) and DVD kiosks with locations primarily in the eastern and southwestern United States of America.

 

ATM Business Services

 

Our revenues are principally derived from two types of fees, which we charge for processing transactions on our ATM network. We receive an interchange fee from the issuer of the credit or debit card for processing a transaction when a cardholder uses an ATM in our network. In addition, in most cases we receive a surcharge/convenience fee from the cardholder when the cardholder makes a cash withdrawal from an ATM in our network.

 

Interchange fees are processing fees that are paid by the issuer of the credit or debit card used in a transaction. Interchange fees vary for cash withdrawals, balance inquiries, account transfers or uncompleted transactions, which are the primary types of transactions that are currently processed on ATMs in our network. The maximum amount of the interchange fees is established by the national and regional card organizations and credit card issuers with whom we have a relationship. We receive interchange fees for transactions on ATMs that we own, but sometimes we rebate a portion of the fee to the owner of the ATM location under the applicable lease for the ATM site. We also receive the interchange fee for transactions on ATMs owned by third party vendors included within our network, but we rebate all or a portion of each fee to the third party vendor based upon negotiations between us. The interchange fees received by us vary from network to network and, to some extent, from issuer to issuer, but generally range from $0.15 to $0.55 per cash withdrawal. Interchange fees for balance inquiries, account transfers and denied transactions are generally substantially less than fees for cash withdrawals. The interchange fees received by us from the card issuer are independent of the service fees charged by the card issuer to the cardholder in connection with ATM transactions. Service fees charged by card issuers to cardholders in connection with transactions through our network range from zero to $2.50 per transaction. We do not receive any portion of these service fees.

 

In most markets we impose a surcharge/convenience fee for cash withdrawals. Surcharge/convenience fees are a substantial additional source of revenue for us and other ATM network operators. The surcharge/convenience fee for most of the ATMs in our network ranges between $1.50 and $2.95 per withdrawal. The surcharge/convenience fee for other ATMs in our network ranges between $0.50 and $7.50 per withdrawal. We receive the full surcharge/convenience fee for cash withdrawal transactions on ATMs that we own, but often we rebate a portion of the fee to the owner of the ATM location under the applicable lease for the ATM site. We also receive the full surcharge/convenience fee for cash withdrawal transactions on ATMs owned by third party vendors included within our network, but we rebate all or a portion of each fee to the third party vendor based upon a variety of factors, including transaction volume and the party responsible for supplying vault cash to the ATM and only record earned revenues based upon the Company’s contracts with the third party vendors.

 

In addition to revenues derived from interchange and surcharge/convenience fees, we also derive revenues from providing network management services to third parties owning ATMs included in our ATM network. These services include 24 hour transaction processing, monitoring and notification of ATM status and cash condition, notification of ATM service interruptions, in some cases dispatch of field service personnel for necessary service calls and cash settlement and reporting services. The fees for these services are paid by the owners of the ATMs.

 

Interchange fees are credited to us by networks and credit card issuers on a monthly basis and are paid to us in the following month between the 5th and 15th business day. Surcharge/convenience fees are charged to the cardholder and credited to us by networks and credit card issuers on a daily basis. We rebate a portion of these fees to ATM owners and owners of ATM locations as commission payments as per their contractual terms. Fees for network management services are generally paid to us on a monthly basis.

 

29
 

 

We compete in a fragmented industry; in which no one firm has a significant market share and can strongly influence the industry outcome. Our industry is populated by a large number of financial institutions and ISOs which deploy ATMs. Our industry is also characterized by essentially undifferentiated services.

 

There are underlying economic causes as to why our industry is fragmented. For example:

 

·Low overall entry barriers;

 

·Absence of national economies of scale;

 

·Seasonal and geographic volume fluctuations;

 

·The need for local presence in some market segments; and

 

·The need for low overhead.

 

Additionally, our industry is showing increasing signs of being an industry in decline. Reasons for this market decline include:

 

·Emergence of debit cards, “pay pass” machines and RFID as substitutes for cash in making purchases;

 

·Increasing acceptance of debit cards by younger demographics; and

 

·Market saturation of prime ATM locations in the United States.

 

Should the signs of industry decline come to fruition, it could negatively impact our results of operations by decreasing revenues and placing downward pressure on earnings. It could also make the availability of capital resources more difficult to obtain and could negatively impact our ability to more aggressively pay down debt, both of which could affect our results of operations.

 

The demand for our ATM services is primarily a function of population growth and new business creation to serve that population growth. New opportunities may exist:

 

·As our competitors seek to exit the business;

 

·As our competitors encounter financial and regulatory difficulties; and

 

·As financial institutions seek to reduce their costs of managing an ATM channel during a period of decreasing ATM usage.

 

Opportunities may also exist to leverage our existing customer base by selling additional products and services to them.

 

DVD Business Services

 

Nationwide Ntertainment Services, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company formed during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009, is engaged in the business of operating a network of DVD rental kiosks. We offer self-service DVD rentals through kiosks where consumers can rent or purchase movies or games. Our current DVD kiosks are installed primarily at military bases within the United States. Our DVD kiosks, through our brand InstaFlix, serve as a mini video rental store and occupy an area of less than ten square feet. Consumers use a touch screen to select their DVD, swipe a valid credit or debit card, and rent movies or games in some kiosks. The process is designed to be fast, efficient and fully automated with no upfront or membership fees.

Comparison of Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended September 30, 2012 and 2011:

 

Revenues

 

The Company reported total operating revenue from operations of $7,909,112 for the three-month period ended September 30, 2012 as compared to $8,055,922 for the three-month period ended September 30, 2011, a decrease of 1.8% year over year.

 

Revenue from our ATM services business was up approximately 9.0% from the third quarter of 2011. We ended September 30, 2012 with 34 fewer ATMs than we ended with on September 30, 2011, and processed 7.0% more surcharge transactions in the third quarter of 2012 as compared to the third quarter of 2011.

 

During the third quarter of 2012, we benefited from having ATM transactions from ATM portfolios acquired subsequent to third quarter 2011. For the third quarter of 2012, we earned approximately $79,000 less interchange fees than we earned in the third quarter of 2011. This was due to an interchange reduction implemented by network sponsors during the second quarter of 2012. This interchange reduction was mostly offset by higher transactions per machine. Revenue from our DVD services business decreased approximately $720,000 from the third quarter of 2011. The decrease in DVD services revenue was due primarily to cancellation of a contract with a major customer resulting in removal of our DVD kiosks from this customer’s sites in December of 2011. This cancellation was the result of the customer’s bankruptcy proceedings. (See Financial Statement Footnotes #24 and #25 "Impairment of Long-Lived Assets" and "Impairment of Assets" included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011 for more on the impact of this cancellation).

 

Cost of Revenues

 

Our total cost of revenues from operations increased from $4,952,102 to $5,785,763 for the three-month period ended September 30, 2011 to the three-month period ended September 30, 2012. The increase was the result of approximately $1,377,000 of increased cost of revenues related to our ATM business. This increase was partially offset by approximately $543,000 of decreased cost of revenues related to our DVD business. Cost of revenues in our ATM services business increased primarily due to increased revenues, increased commission share resulting from renewals of new customer contracts, as well as an increase in ATM maintenance costs. The decrease in cost of revenues from our DVD services business was a function of decreased DVD rental revenue from a significantly lower deployed machine count, and other reductions in cost of sales discussed below.

 

The principal components of cost of revenues in the ATM services business are retailer, merchant and distributor commissions (or revenue share), cost of cash, cash replenishment, ATM vault cash insurance, field maintenance, transaction processing charges, telecommunication costs and equipment costs on related equipment sales. The $1,377,000 increase was mainly due to increased commissions (or revenue share) due to higher revenues, new terms in certain customer renewal agreements, and increased first line and second line maintenance costs.

 

The principal components of cost of revenues in the DVD services business are retailer and merchant commissions (or revenue share), amortization of our DVD library, DVD replenishment, field maintenance, credit card processing charges and telecommunication costs. The decrease in DVD services cost of sales was a function of decreased DVD rental revenue due primarily to cancellation of a contract with a major customer, which resulted in removal of our DVD kiosks from customer sites in December of 2011. Additionally, the Company reduced DVD library amortization due to the impairment of DVD titles in the September 30, 2011 of 2011, decreased DVD title purchases, and reduced processing costs. The contract cancellation was the result of the customer’s bankruptcy proceedings. (See Financial Statement Footnotes #24 and #25 "Impairment of Long-Lived Assets" and "Impairment of Assets" included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011 for more on the impact of this cancellation).

Gross Profit

 

Gross profit from operations as a percentage of revenue for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 were approximately 26.8% or $2,123,349, and approximately 38.5%, or $3,103,820, respectively. The decreased gross profit for the third quarter of 2012 versus the same period in 2011 was mainly attributable to the increased cost of sales for the ATM services business and the decreased rental revenue from DVD services discussed above.

 

Gross profit percentage in the ATM services business for the third quarter of 2012 was 28.0%, which is lower than the 43.1% gross profit for the same period in 2011. The decrease in gross profit percentage for the ATM services business was attributable to the increased cost of revenues discussed above.

 

Gross profit percentage in the DVD services business for the third quarter of 2012 was 18.7%, which is lower than the 21.2% gross profit for the same period in 2011. The decrease in gross profit percentage for the DVD services business was attributable to the decreased revenues discussed above.

 

Operating Expenses

 

Our total operating expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 were $5,881,219 and $4,282,602 respectively. The principal components of operating expenses are general and administrative expenses such as professional and legal fees, administrative salaries and benefits, consulting and audit fees, occupancy costs, sales and marketing expenses and administrative expenses. Operating expenses also include depreciation, amortization of intangible merchant contracts, Impairment of assets and long lived assets and stock compensation expenses.

 

To aid in the understanding of our discussion and analysis of our operating expenses, the following table summarizes the amount and percentage change in the amounts from the previous year for certain operating expense line items:

 

   For the Three Months Ended   2012 to 2011   2012 to 2011 
   September 30, 2012   September 30, 2011   $ Change   % Change 
                 
Depreciation expense  $663,844   $508,697   $155,147    30.5%
Amortization of intangible merchant contracts   325,421    299,872    25,549    8.5%
Impairment of assets and long-lived assets   3,338,732    1,085,194    2,253,538    207.7%

Total operating expenses  $5,881,219   $4,282,602   $1,598,617    37.3%

 

See explanation of operating expenses below:

 

Depreciation Expense

 

Depreciation expense from operations increased for the three-month period ended September 30, 2012 to $663,844 from $508,697 for the same period in 2011. This increase in depreciation expense was mainly due to an increase of Company owned kiosks, as well as re-introduction of previously suspended DVD kiosk depreciation to coincide with re-deployment of warehoused machines. The warehousing of these machines was the result of cancellation of a contract with a major customer. (See Financial Statement Footnotes #24 and #25 "Impairment of Long-Lived Assets" and "Impairment of Assets" included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011 for more on the impact of this cancellation).

 

Amortization of Intangible Merchant Contracts

 

Amortization of intangible merchant contracts from operations increased for the three-month period ended September 30, 2012 to $325,421 from $299,872 for the same period in 2011. The increase from 2011 was due to the amortization of contracts in the ATM services business acquired subsequent to the third quarter of 2011.

 

Impairment of Assets and Long-lived Assets

 

33
 

 

During the third quarter of fiscal 2012, we determined that sufficient indicators of potential impairment existed to require a goodwill impairment analysis for the ATM business. These indicators included a recent forbearance agreement signed with Fifth Third bank (See Financial Footnote #4 “Senior Lenders’ Notes Payable” regarding the details of the agreement), as well as the recent trading values of the company’s stock coupled with decreases in the Company’s profit margin.

We estimated the fair value of the ATM business utilizing a combination of market multiple valuation metrics used in our industry and the present value of discounted cash flows. Cash flow projections are based on management's estimates of revenue growth rates and operating margins, taking into consideration industry and market conditions. The market approach estimates fair value based on market multiples of revenue and earnings derived from comparable companies with similar operating and investment characteristics as the reporting unit.

 

Based on our analyses, the implied fair value of goodwill was lower than the carrying value of goodwill for the ATM business unit. As a result, we recorded an impairment charge of $3,247,497.

 

Additionally, the company identified a group of ATM’s that were no longer useful to the company. These ATM’s were sold subsequent to September 30, 2012. During the quarter, these ATM’s were written down to their fair market value based on future proceeds to be realized. The impairment charge was $91,235.

  

Selling, General and Administrative (“SG&A”) Expenses

 

Our total SG&A expenses from operations decreased to $1,521,649, or 19.2% of revenue for the three-month period ended September 30, 2012 from $1,933,074 or 24% of revenue for the three-month period ended September 30, 2011. The decrease in SG&A expenses was mainly due to approximately $300,000 of decreased headcount, salary related, and director’s fees expense, as well as another $100,000 reduction in other miscellaneous SG&A expenses.

 

Restructuring Charges

 

During the third quarter of 2011, the Company removed approximately 115 of its DVD rental kiosks from store locations of a major customer, and placed them into storage at a Company warehouse. While some of these kiosks were redeployed to other locations in the field, the majority remained in the warehouse at the end of the third quarter. The Company incurred $126,269 of costs associated with the de-installation and storage of the kiosks. Additionally, the Company received notice from the same customer in the third quarter that it would have to remove all remaining kiosks in the fourth quarter of 2011. This came as a result of cancellation of the Company’s contract with the customer pursuant to the customer’s bankruptcy proceedings. The Company accrued $100,000 total for the de-installation of these kiosks as well as the cost of redeploying other kiosks in the third quarter of 2011. The company wrote off $175,103 of un-amortized costs intangible costs relating to its contract with this customer.  The company also had severance related charges of $19,674 for the three months ended September 30, 2011.

 

The following table summarizes the restructuring charges recorded during the three-month periods ended September 30, 2012 and September 30, 2011:

 

   For the Three Months Ended   For the Three Months Ended

Stock Compensation Expense

 

For the three months ended September 30, 2012, we recorded stock compensation expense of $31,573, mainly relating to executive and director stock option grants during fiscal years 2007 through 2012. For the three months ended September 30, 2011, we recorded stock compensation expense of $34,719.

Interest expense, net, increased for the three-month period ended September 30, 2012 to $515,417 from $194,052 for the three-month period ended September 30, 2011. The increase was mainly due to portions of our two cash flow hedges becoming effective during the third quarter of 2012 and increased debt balances year over year. (See Financial Footnote #4 “Senior Lenders’ Notes Payable” regarding the details of the debt balances).

 

Debt Restructuring Charges

 

During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2012, the Company incurred debt restructuring expenses of $395,000. These expenses include bank fees, legal expenses occurred by the bank in relation to these amendments, as well as fees for consultants the company was required to hire as a condition of these amendments.

 

 

Gain (Loss) on Sale of Assets

 

During the three-month periods ended September 30, 2012 and September 30, 2011 the Company recorded a gain on the sale of assets of $12,917 and $4,000 respectively.

  

EBITDA

 

EBITDA (a non-GAAP measure) is defined as earnings before net interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. EBITDA has some inherent limitations in measuring operating performance due to the exclusion of certain financial elements such as depreciation and is not necessarily comparable to other similarly titled captions of other companies due to potential inconsistencies in the method of calculation. Furthermore, EBITDA is not intended to be a substitute for cash flows from operating activities, as a measure of liquidity, or an alternative to net income in determining our operating performance in accordance with GAAP. Our use of EBITDA should be considered within the following context:

 

• We acknowledge that our depreciable assets are necessary to earn revenue based on our current business.

 

• Our use of EBITDA as a measure of operating performance is not based on our belief about the reasonableness of excluding depreciation when measuring financial performance.

 

• Our use of EBITDA is supported by the importance of EBITDA to the following key stakeholders:

 

Analysts — who estimate our projected EBITDA and other EBITDA-based metrics in their independently developed financial models for investors;

 

Creditors — who evaluate our operating performance based on compliance with certain EBITDA-based debt covenants;

 

Investment Bankers — who use EBITDA and other EBITDA-based metrics in their written evaluations and comparisons of companies within our industry; and

 

Board of Directors and Executive Management — who use EBITDA as an essential metric for evaluating management performance relative to our operating budget and bank covenant compliance, as well as our ability to service debt and raise capital for growth opportunities which are a critical component to our strategy.

 

 

The following table sets forth a reconciliation of net loss to EBITDA from operations for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011:

Amortization of intangible merchant contracts   325,421    299,872 
EBITDA from operations  $(3,150,688)  $(366,213)

 

Our EBITDA from operations decreased to $(3,150,688) for the third quarter of fiscal 2012 from $(366,213) for the third quarter of fiscal 2011. The decrease was primarily due to an impairment of goodwill in the amount of $3,247,497.

 

The following table sets forth a reconciliation of net income (loss) to EBITDA from operations before impairment of assets and long-lived assets, restructuring charges, debt restructuring charges stock compensation expense, and (gain) loss on sale of assets (“Adjusted EBITDA”) for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011:

Gain on sale of assets   (12,917)   (4,000)
Adjusted EBITDA from operations  $601,700   $1,170,746 

 

Our Adjusted EBITDA decreased to $601,700 for the third quarter of fiscal 2012 from $1,170,746 for the third quarter of fiscal 2011. Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of revenues decreased to 7.6% for the third quarter of fiscal 2012 from 14.3% for the third quarter of fiscal 2011. The decrease in Adjusted EBITDA from operations was due primarily to lower gross margin contributed by our ATM services business for the third quarter of 2012 when compared to the gross margin contributed by our ATM business.

 

Comparison of Results of Operations for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2012 and 2011:

 

Revenues

 

The Company reported total operating revenue of $24,360,542 for the nine-month period ending September 30, 2012 as compared to $24,299,736 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2011, an increase of .25% year over year.

 

Revenue from our ATM services business was up approximately 14.0% year over year for the nine month period ending September 30, 2012. We ended September 30, 2012 with 34 fewer ATMs than we ended with on September 30, 2011, and processed 8.9% more surcharge transactions for the nine month period ending September 2012 as compared to the nine month period ending September 2011. During the nine months ending September 30, 2012, we benefited from having ATM transactions from ATM portfolios acquired subsequent to the nine months ending September 30, 2011. Additionally, we raised surcharge fees during the first quarter of 2011 which helped grow our ATM surcharge revenue by 21.9% year over year as the nine months ending September 30, 2012 benefitted from a full nine months of this increase. We earned approximately $49,000 more interchange fees for the nine months ending September 30, 2012 than we earned for the nine months ending September 30, 2011, due to a higher average monthly machine count and higher transactions per machine, partially offset by a reduction in interchange paid to us by card networks. Revenue from our DVD services business decreased approximately $2,551,000 for the nine months ending September 30, 2012, compared to the nine months ending September 30, 2011. The decrease in DVD services revenue was due primarily to cancellation of a contract with a major customer resulting in removal of our DVD kiosks from this customer’s sites in December of 2011. This cancellation was the result of the customer’s bankruptcy proceedings. (See Financial Statement Footnotes #24 and #25 "Impairment of Long-Lived Assets" and "Impairment of Assets" included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011 for more on the impact of this cancellation).

Cost of Revenues

 

Our total cost of revenues from operations increased from $15,060,478 to $17,163,912 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2011 to the nine-month period ended September 30, 2012. The increase was the result of approximately $4,153,000 of increased cost of revenues related to our ATM business. This increase was partially offset by approximately $2,050,000 of decreased cost of revenues related to our DVD business. Cost of revenues in our ATM services business increased primarily due to increased revenues, increased commission share resulting from renewals of customer contracts, as well as an increase in ATM maintenance costs. The decrease in cost of revenues from our DVD services business was a function of decreased DVD rental revenue, and other reductions in cost of sales discussed below.

 

The principal components of cost of revenues in the ATM services business are retailer, merchant and distributor commissions (or revenue share), cost of cash, cash replenishment, ATM vault cash insurance, field maintenance, transaction processing charges, telecommunication costs and equipment costs on related equipment sales. The $4,153,000 increase was mainly due to increased commissions (or revenue share) due to higher revenues, new terms in certain customer renewal agreements, and increased first line and second line maintenance costs. First line and second line maintenance fees also increased over last year due to the increase in Company-owned ATMs as well as due to more aggressive billings by our ATM maintenance vendor.

 

The principal components of cost of revenues in the DVD services business are retailer and merchant commissions (or revenue share), amortization of our DVD library, DVD replenishment, field maintenance, credit card processing charges and telecommunication costs. The decrease in DVD services cost of sales was a function of decreased DVD rental revenue due primarily to cancellation of a contract with a major customer, which resulted in removal of our DVD kiosks from customer sites in December of 2011. Additionally, the Company reduced DVD library amortization due to the impairment of DVD titles in the September 30, 2011 of 2011, decreased DVD title purchases, and reduced processing costs. The contract cancellation was the result of the customer’s bankruptcy proceedings. (See Financial Statement Footnotes #24 and #25 "Impairment of Long-Lived Assets" and "Impairment of Assets" included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011 for more on the impact of this cancellation).

 

Gross Profit

 

Gross profit from operations as a percentage of revenue for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 were approximately 29.5% or $7,196,630 and approximately 38.0%, or $9,239,258 respectively. The decreased gross profit for the third quarter of 2012 versus the same period in 2011 was mainly attributable to increased ATM cost of sales and the decreased rental revenue from DVD services discussed above.

 

Gross profit in the ATM services business for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2012 was 30.5%, which is lower than the 43.1% gross profit for the same period in 2011. The decrease in gross profit percentage in the ATM services business was attributable to the increased cost of revenues discussed above.

 

Gross profit in the DVD services business for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2012 was 23.0%, which is higher than the 21.5% gross profit for the same period in 2011.

 

Operating Expenses

 

Our total operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 were $11,240,855 and $10,336,076 respectively. The principal components of operating expenses are general and administrative expenses such as professional and legal fees, administrative salaries and benefits, consulting and audit fees, occupancy costs, sales and marketing expenses and administrative expenses. Operating expenses also include depreciation, amortization of intangible merchant contracts, Impairment of assets and long lived assets and stock compensation expenses.

To aid in the understanding of our discussion and analysis of our operating expenses, the following table summarizes the amount and percentage change in the amounts from the previous year for certain operating expense line items:

 

   For the Nine Months Ended   2012 to 2011   2012 to 2011 
   September 30, 2012   September 30, 2011   $ Change   % Change

Total operating expenses  $11,240,855   $10,336,076   $904,779    8.8%

 

See explanation of operating expenses below:

  

Depreciation Expense

 

Depreciation expense from operations increased for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2012 to $1,959,819 from $1,656,211 for the same period in 2011. This increase in depreciation expense was mainly due to an increase of Company owned kiosks, as well as re-introduction of previously suspended DVD kiosk depreciation to coincide with re-deployment of warehoused machines. The warehousing of these machines was the result of cancellation of a contract with a major customer. (See Financial Statement Footnotes #24 and #25 "Impairment of Long-Lived Assets" and "Impairment of Assets" included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011 for more on the impact of this cancellation).

 

Amortization of Intangible Merchant Contracts

 

Amortization of intangible merchant contracts from operations increased for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2012 to $977,700 from $879,530 for the same period in 2011. The increase from 2011 was due to the amortization of contracts in the ATM services business acquired subsequent to the third quarter of 2011.

 

Impairment of Assets and Long-lived Assets

 

During the third quarter of fiscal 2012, we determined that sufficient indicators of potential impairment existed to require a goodwill impairment analysis for the ATM business. These indicators included a recent forbearance agreement signed with Fifth Third bank (See Financial Footnote #4 “Senior Lenders’ Notes Payable” regarding the details of the agreement), as well as the recent trading values of the company’s stock coupled with decreases in the company’s profit margin.

 

We estimated the fair value of the ATM business utilizing a combination of market multiple valuation metrics used in our industry and the present value of discounted cash flows. Cash flow projections are based on management's estimates of revenue growth rates and operating margins, taking into consideration industry and market conditions. The market approach estimates fair value based on market multiples of revenue and earnings derived from comparable companies with similar operating and investment characteristics as the reporting unit.

 

Based on our analyses, the implied fair value of goodwill was lower than the carrying value of goodwill for the ATM business unit. As a result, we recorded an impairment charge of $3,247,497.

 

Additionally, the company identified a group of ATM’s that were no longer useful to the company. These ATM’s were sold subsequent to September 30, 2012. During the quarter, these ATM’s were written down to their fair market value based on future proceeds to be realized. The impairment charge was $91,235.

 

38
 

 

Selling, General and Administrative (“SG&A”) Expenses

 

Our total SG&A expenses from operations decreased to $4,841,340, or 19.9% of revenue for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2012 from $5,707,587 or 24.0% of revenue for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2011. The decrease in SG&A expenses was mainly due to approximately $590,000 of decreased headcount, salary related, and director’s fees expenses as well as $270,000 of reduced SG&A expenses related to the cost of DVD kiosks leased in 2011, travel, and other miscellaneous items.

  

Restructuring Charges

 

On February 28, 2011, the Company and George McQuain, the Company’s former Chief Executive Officer, agreed to a mutual separation of Mr. McQuain’s employment.  As of February 28, 2011, Mr. McQuain is no longer employed as Chief Executive Officer, Director or in any other capacity, by the Company or any of its subsidiaries.  The result of this separation was a restructuring charge of $512,261 recorded during the nine month period ending September 30, 2011.  The company also incurred an additional $19,674 in expenses related to headcount reductions during the nine month period ended September 30, 2011.

 

As of September 30, 2012, the Company had paid its severance obligation in full to Mr. McQuain.

 

During the third quarter of 2011, the Company removed approximately 115 of its DVD rental kiosks from store locations of a major customer, and placed them into storage at a Company warehouse. While some of these kiosks were redeployed to other locations in the field, the majority remained in the warehouse at the end of the third quarter. The Company incurred $126,269 of costs associated with the de-installation and storage of the kiosks. Additionally, the Company received notice from the same customer in the third quarter that it would have to remove all remaining kiosks in the fourth quarter of 2011. This came as a result of cancellation of the Company’s contract with the customer pursuant to the customer’s bankruptcy proceedings. The Company accrued $100,000 total for the de-installation of these kiosks as well as the cost of redeploying other kiosks in the third quarter of 2011. The company wrote off $175,102 of un-amortized costs intangible costs relating to its contract with this customer. 

 

During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2012, the Company incurred restructuring expenses due to headcount reductions of $47,551.

 

The following table summarizes the restructuring charges recorded during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and September 30, 2011:

  

   For the Nine Months Ended   For the Nine Months Ended

Severance Related Charges   47,551    531,936 
Total  $47,551   $933,307 

  

Stock Compensation Expense

 

For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, we recorded stock compensation expense of $75,713, mainly relating to executive and director stock option grants during fiscal years 2007 through 2012. For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, we recorded stock compensation expense of $74,247.

 

Interest Expense, Net

 

Interest expense, net, increased for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2012 to $1,071,261 from $543,552 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2011. The increase was mainly due to portions of our two cash flow hedges becoming effective during the third quarter of 2012 and increased debt balances year over year. (See Financial Footnote #4 “Senior Lenders’ Notes Payable” regarding the details of the debt balances).

 

Debt Restructuring Charges

 

39
 

 

During the three months period ended September 30, 2012, the Company incurred debt restructuring expenses of $395,000. These expenses include bank fees, legal expenses occurred by the bank in relation to these amendments, as well as fees for consultants the company was required to hire as a condition of these amendments.

 

 

Gain on Sale of Assets

 

During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2012, the Company recorded a gain on the sale of assets of $32,700. This was primarily the result of fully amortized DVD’s sold for cash, as well as collection of insurance proceeds for a fully depreciated company vehicle.

 

During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2011, the Company recorded a Gain on sale of assets for $67,541.

 

EBITDA

 

EBITDA (a non-GAAP measure) is defined as earnings before net interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. EBITDA has some inherent limitations in measuring operating performance due to the exclusion of certain financial elements such as depreciation and is not necessarily comparable to other similarly titled captions of other companies due to potential inconsistencies in the method of calculation. Furthermore, EBITDA is not intended to be a substitute for cash flows from operating activities, as a measure of liquidity, or an alternative to net income in determining our operating performance in accordance with GAAP. Our use of EBITDA should be considered within the following context:

 

• We acknowledge that our depreciable assets are necessary to earn revenue based on our current business.

 

• Our use of EBITDA as a measure of operating performance is not based on our belief about the reasonableness of excluding depreciation when measuring financial performance.

 

• Our use of EBITDA is supported by the importance of EBITDA to the following key stakeholders:

 

Analysts — who estimate our projected EBITDA and other EBITDA-based metrics in their independently developed financial models for investors;

The following table sets forth a reconciliation of net loss to EBITDA from operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011:

 

   For the Nine Months Ended 
   September 30, 2012   September 30, 2011 
         
Net loss  $(5,545,286)  $(1,751,329)

Amortization of intangible merchant contracts   977,700    879,530 
EBITDA from operations  $(1,469,006)  $1,393,964 

 

Our EBITDA from operations decreased to $(1,469,006) for the first nine months of fiscal 2012 from $1,393,964 for the first nine months of fiscal 2011. The decrease was primarily due to a write down of Goodwill in the amount of $3,247,497, as well as decreased profit margin from our ATM business.

 

The following table sets forth a reconciliation of net loss to EBITDA from operations before impairment of assets and long-lived assets, restructuring charges, debt restructuring charges, stock compensation expense, gain on sale of assets and other non-operating expense (“Adjusted EBITDA”) for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011:

Other non-operating expense, net   -    112,500 
Adjusted EBITDA from operations  $2,355,290   $3,531,671 

  

Our Adjusted EBITDA decreased to $2,355,290 for the nine month period ending September 30, 2012 from $3,531,671 for the nine month period ending September 30, 2011. Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of revenues decreased to 9.7% for the nine month period ended September 30, 2012 from 14.3% for the nine month period ending September 30, 2011. The decrease in Adjusted EBITDA from operations was due to lower gross margin contributed by our ATM and DVD services business for the third quarter of 2012 as compared to the gross margin contributed by our ATM and DVD services business for the third quarter of 2011, partially offset by a decrease in SG&A.

  

Seasonality – ATM Services

 

We have traditionally experienced higher transaction volumes per machine in the second and third quarters than in the first and fourth quarters. The increased volumes in the summer months coincide with increased vacation travel in the United States.

 

Seasonality – DVD Services

 

Through our limited operating history in DVD Services, we have experienced seasonality in our revenue from our DVD Services segment. The summer months have historically been high rental months for our DVD Services segment followed by lower revenue in September and October, due in part to the beginning of the school year and the introduction of the new television season. We expect our lowest quarterly revenue for the DVD services business in the first quarter and our highest quarterly revenue and earnings in the second and third quarters.

Decrease in cash  $(833,476)  $(211,320)  $(622,156)     

  

Operating Activities

 

During the first nine months of 2012 net cash provided by operating activities amounted to $1,870,718. Net cash provided by operating activities amounted to $125,926 during the first nine months of 2011. This increase was the result of lower inventory spending, a lower increase in accounts receivable in the first quarter of 2012, as well as an increase in accounts payable when compared to the first nine months quarter of 2011.

 

Investing Activities

 

Net cash used in investing activities from operations for the first nine months of 2012 was $2,169,180. This compares to net cash used in investing activities of $2,689,250 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2011. The decrease in cash used in investing activities from fiscal 2011 was mainly due to a decrease of cash paid for acquisitions of $375,000 from the first six months of 2011 compared to the first nine months of 2012.

 

Financing Activities

 

Net cash used in financing activities was $535,014 due to payments of senior lender notes (discussed in Financial Footnote #4 “Senior Lenders’ Notes Payable”) and capital leases during the first nine months of 2012. This compared to funds provided by financing activities of $2,352,004 for the same period in fiscal 2011.

 

Working Capital

 

As of September 30, 2012, the Company had current assets of $4,618,006 and current liabilities of $18,681,926, which results in negative working capital of $14,063,920. This compares to a working capital deficit of $5,447,845 that existed at December 31, 2011. This was the result of re-classification of all Senior debt from long-term to current in accordance with events of default as noted in the forbearance agreement with Fifth Third Bank (See Financial Footnote #4 “Senior Lenders’ Notes Payable”).

 

The Company’s existence is dependent upon management’s ability to develop profitable operations and to obtain additional funding sources. There can be no assurance that the Company’s financing efforts will result in profitable operations or the resolution of the Company’s liquidity problems. The accompanying condensed consolidated statements do not include any adjustments that might result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. The Company’s intent is to follow the terms and conditions stated in the forbearance agreement with Fifth Third Bank (See Financial Footnote #4 “Senior Lenders’ Notes Payable”).

 

Significant Changes in Balance Sheet Accounts

 

As of September 30, 2012, cash and cash equivalents decreased 833,476 to $141,887 from the December 31, 2011 balance of $975,363. The decrease was primarily due to decreased profit margin stemming from higher revenue share from renewals of two major customer contracts.

 

41
 

 

As of September 30, 2012, intangible assets decreased $3,376,200 to $1,083,134 from the December 31, 2011 balance of $4,459,334. The decrease was primarily due to an impairment of Goodwill in the amount of $3,247,497 (See Financial Footnote #13 “Impairment of Long Lived Assets”).

 

As of September 30, 2012, inventory decreased $710,921 to $1,187,811 from the December 31, 2011 balance of $1,898,732. This was the result of re-deploying DVD kiosks during the nine months that were in the warehouse at the end of fiscal 2011. This redeployment also contributed to the $494,783 increase in net fixed assets from the end of fiscal 2011 to September, 30 2012.

 

Additional Funding Sources

 

The Company does not use its own funds for vault cash, but rather relies upon third party sources. The Company, in general, rents the vault cash from financial institutions and pays a negotiated interest rate for the use of the money. The vault cash is never in the possession of, controlled or directed by the Company, but, rather, cycles from the bank to the armored car carrier and to the ATM. Each day’s withdrawals are settled back to the owner of the vault cash on the next business day. Both Nationwide and its customers (the merchants) sign a document stating that the vault cash belongs to the financial institution and that neither party has any legal rights to the funds. The required vault cash is obtained under the following arrangements:

 

·Wilmington Savings Fund Society (“WSFS”). Beginning in September 2004, the Company began an arrangement with Wilmington Savings Fund Society allowing us to obtain up to $20,000,000 in vault cash. The WSFS contract may be terminated by WSFS at any time upon breach by us and upon the occurrence of certain other events. The contract currently in place with WSFS expires on October 31, 2012, with a one year automatic renewal period unless one party gives 60 days notice of their intention not to renew. As of September 30, 2012, the Company had 252 ATMs funded by WSFS with a vault cash outstanding balance of $9,508,443 in connection with this arrangement.

 

·Élan. On September 1, 2011, we entered into an amendment to our Cash Provisioning Agreement (through our sub-agreements with vault cash carriers) with Élan allowing us to obtain up to $100,000,000 in vault cash. The Élan contract may be terminated by Élan at any time upon breach by us and upon the occurrence of certain other events. As of September 30, 2012, the Company had 1,922 ATMs funded by Élan with a vault cash outstanding balance of $44,955,250.

 

·Various Branded Cash Partners. Nationwide has partnered with numerous banks and credit unions to market specific Nationwide ATMs to the cardholders of these institutions. We add signage and marketing material to the ATM so that the ATM is easily identified as being associated with the bank or credit union, and the cardholders of these institutions receive surcharge free transactions at the designated ATMs. This provides the bank or credit union additional marketing power and another point of access to funds for their cardholders. In return for this benefit, the bank or credit union, provides and manages the vault cash in the specified ATM(s), as well as provides and pays for cash replenishment and first line maintenance. The advantage to Nationwide is that this reduces the costs associated with vault cash, cash replenishment and first line maintenance by approximately 50%. Another advantage is that with a branded ATM, transaction volumes traditionally increase more than at non-branded ATMs. As of September 30, 2012, Nationwide had 41 branded financial partners, which funded 375 ATMs.

 

Impact of Inflation and Changing Prices

 

We were not impacted by inflation during the past two fiscal years in any material respect. Interest rate decreases have decreased the rental cost of our vault cash. As the interest rates increase and vault cash costs increase, this will have an unfavorable impact on the Company’s results of operations.

ITEM 4. Controls and Procedures.

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

As required by Rule 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), as of the end of the period covered by this report, we have carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our Company’s disclosure controls and procedures. Under the direction of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, we evaluated our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting and concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2012.

 

Disclosure controls and procedures and other procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time period specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

There were no changes to internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the three months ended September 30, 2012 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially impact, our internal controls over financial reporting.

 

 

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

 

ITEM 1. Legal Proceedings.

 

Information regarding legal proceedings is contained in Financial Footnote #6 (“Litigation and Claims”) to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contained in this report and is incorporated herein by reference.

 

 

ITEM 1A. Risk Factors.

 

Other than the risk factors discussed below, there have been no material changes from risk factors previously disclosed in Risk Factors within “Item 1A. Rick Factors” included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011.

 

There is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

 

Our recurring losses from operations, recent developments related to our credit facilities and our inability to generate sufficient cash flow to meet our obligations and sustain our operations raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our future is dependent on our ability to execute our business and liquidity plans successfully or otherwise address these matters. If we fail to do so for any reason, we would not be able to continue as a going concern and could potentially be forced to seek relief through a filing under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code.

 

We will be required to raise additional funds to finance our operations and remain a going concern; we may not be able to do so when necessary, and/or the terms of any financings may not be advantageous to us.

 

The continuation of our business is dependent upon raising additional financial support. For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, the decrease in cash and cash equivalents of the Company was $833,476.  As of September 30, 2012, we had cash and cash equivalents of $141,887. The additional financial support may include: raising additional capital through the issuance of common or preferred stock, securities convertible into common stock, or secured or unsecured debt, an investment by a strategic partner; selling all or a portion of the Company’s assets, liquidating assets, or seeking relief through a filing under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. These possibilities, to the extent available, may be on terms that result in significant dilution to our existing shareholders.  Our consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability of assets and classification of assets and liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern.
