Nature of the Business

Nature of the Business

 

VerifyMe, Inc. (“VerifyMe”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on November 10, 1999. VerifyMe, together with its subsidiaries, including Trust Codes Global Limited (“Trust Codes Global”) and PeriShip Global LLC (“PeriShip Global”), (together the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) is based in Lake Mary, Florida and its common stock, par value $0.001 per share, and warrants to purchase common stock are traded on The Nasdaq Capital Market (“Nasdaq”) under the trading symbols “VRME” and “VRMEW,” respectively.

 

VerifyMe, is a traceability and customer support services provider using specialized software and process technology. The Company operates a Precision Logistics Segment and an Authentication Segment to provide specialized logistics for time-and-temperature sensitive products, as well as item level traceability, anti-diversion and anti-counterfeit protection, brand protection and enhancement technology solutions. Through our Precision Logistics segment, we provide a value-added service for sensitive parcel management driven by a proprietary software platform that provides predictive analytics from key metrics such as pre-shipment weather analysis, flight-tracking, sort volumes, and traffic, delivered to customers via a secure portal. The portal provides real-time visibility into shipment transit and last-mile events which is supported by a service center. Through our Authentication segment our technologies enable brand owners to gather business intelligence through the supply chain, cross-sell products, detect counterfeit activities, monitor product diversion, and build brand loyalty utilizing our unique dynamic codes which are read by consumers with their smart phones. The Company’s activities are subject to significant risks and uncertainties.

Reclassifications

Reclassifications

 

Certain amounts presented for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, reflect reclassifications made to conform to the presentation in our current reporting period. These reclassifications had no effect on the previously reported net loss.

 

Basis of Presentation

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements (the “Interim Statements”) include the accounts of VerifyMe and its wholly owned subsidiaries PeriShip Global and Trust Codes Global. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations for reporting on Form 10-Q. Accordingly, certain information and disclosures required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for complete financial statements are not included herein. The Interim Statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s latest Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 29, 2024.  The accompanying Interim Statements are unaudited; however, in the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The interim results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2024, or for any future interim periods.

 

Restricted Cash

Restricted Cash

 

The following table provides a reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash reported within the consolidated balance sheets that sum to the total of the same such amounts in the consolidated statements of cash flows (dollars in thousands):

         
   As of 
   June 30, 2024   December 31,2023 
         
Cash and cash equivalents  $2,900   $3,032 
Restricted cash   -    63 
Total cash and cash equivalents including restricted cash  $2,900   $3,095 

 

The Company classifies cash and cash equivalents that are restricted from operating use for the next twelve months as restricted cash. No cash was subject to restriction as of June 30, 2024. As of December 31, 2023, the Company held $63 thousand subject to restrictions.

 

Segment Reporting

Segment Reporting

 

Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise for which separate financial information is available and evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker, or decision-making group, in deciding the method by which to allocate resources and assess performance. The Company has two reportable segments, namely, (i) Precision Logistics and (ii) Authentication. See Note 11 - Segment Reporting, for further discussion of the Company’s segment reporting structure. 

 

Foreign Currency Translation

Foreign Currency Translation

 

The functional currency of our New Zealand operations is the local currency, New Zealand dollar (NZD). The translation of the foreign currency into U.S. dollars is performed for balance sheet accounts using current exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date and for revenue and expense accounts using the weighted average exchange rates prevailing during the year. The unrealized gains and losses resulting from such translation are included as a component of comprehensive income. Translation gains and losses arising from currency exchange rate fluctuations on transactions denominated in a currency other than the local functional currency are included in “General and administrative” on our Consolidated Statements of Operations. The foreign currency transaction for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, was a $16 thousand gain and $46 thousand loss, respectively. The foreign currency transaction losses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, were immaterial.

 

Use of Estimates

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): “Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures”, which requires public entities with a single reportable segment to provide all the disclosures required by this standard and all existing segment disclosures in Topic 280 on an interim and annual basis, including new requirements to disclose significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) and included within the reported measure(s) of a segment's profit or loss, the amount and composition of any other segment items, the title and position of the CODM, and how the CODM uses the reported measure(s) of a segment's profit or loss to assess performance and decide how to allocate resources. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2024, applied retrospectively with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted the new standard beginning January 1, 2024. Note 11 – Segment Reporting has been updated to reflect the new disclosure requirements and certain amounts have been reclassified in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. There is no other impact of adoption of this standard on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The Company’s financial instruments consist of accounts receivable, unbilled revenue, accounts payable, notes payable and accrued expenses, contingent consideration and long-term derivative assets or liabilities. The carrying value of accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate their fair value because of their short maturities.  The Company believes the carrying amount of its notes payable approximates fair value based on rates and other terms currently available to the Company for similar debt instruments.

 

The Company follows FASB ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” and applies it to all assets and liabilities that are being measured and reported on a fair value basis. The statement requires that assets and liabilities carried at fair value will be classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:

 

Level 1: Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities

 

Level 2: Observable market-based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data

 

Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data

 

The level in the fair value within which a fair value measurement falls is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.

 

The following table presents the Company’s financial instruments that are measured and recorded at fair value on the Company’s balance sheets on a recurring basis, and their level within the fair value hierarchy as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

 

Amounts in Thousands ('000)

         
   Derivative Asset   Contingent Consideration 
   (Level 2)   (Level 3) 
         
Balance as of December 31, 2023  $4   $(924)
           
Change in fair value of Contingent Consideration   -    364 
           
Payments   -    36 
           
Change in fair value to interest rate, SWAP, recognized in other comprehensive loss   5    - 
           
Balance at June 30, 2024  $9   $(524)

 

Revenue Recognition

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company accounts for revenues according to Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” which establishes principles for reporting information about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from the entity's contracts to provide goods or services to customers.

 

The Company applies the following five steps, separated by reportable segments, in order to determine the appropriate amount of revenue to be recognized as it fulfills its obligations under each of its agreements.

 

·identify the contract with a customer;
·identify the performance obligations in the contract;
·determine the transaction price;
·allocate the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract; and
·recognize revenue as the performance obligation is satisfied.

 

For more detailed information about reportable segments, see Note 11 – Segment reporting. The Company generally considers completion of an agreement, or Statement of Work (“SOW”) and/or purchase order as a customer contract, provided collection is considered probable.

 

Precision Logistics

 

Our Precision Logistics segment consists of two service lines, Proactive and Premium. Under our Proactive service line, clients pay us directly for carrier service coupled with our proactive logistics service. Terms typically range 7 days and no longer than 30 days. The Company has determined it is the principal and recognizes shipment fees in gross revenue. Under our Premium service line, we provide complete white-glove shipping monitoring and predictive analytics services. This service includes customer web portal access, weather monitoring, temperature control, full service center support and last mile resolution. Payment terms are typically 30-45 days.

 

Under both service lines in our Precision Logistics segment, our performance obligation is met, and revenue is recognized, when the packages are delivered. The transaction fees consist of fixed consideration made up of amounts contractually billed to the customer. There are no variable considerations in the transaction fee, in either service line.

 

Authentication

 

Our Authentication segment primarily consists of our brand protection service line which consists of a custom suite of products that offer clients traceability and brand solutions. Terms typically range between 30 and 90 days. Our performance obligation is met, and revenue is recognized, when our products are shipped or delivered depending on the specific agreement with the customer. The transaction fee is made up of fixed consideration based on the related purchase order or agreement. Warranties and other variable considerations are analyzed by the Company, in terms of historical warranties, current economic trends, and changes in customer demand, and have been determined to be insignificant in the three and six months ended June 30, 2024.

 

Goodwill

Goodwill

 

Goodwill represents the excess of purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired in business combinations. Pursuant to ASC 350, the Company tests goodwill for impairment on an annual basis in the fourth quarter, or between annual tests, in certain circumstances. Under authoritative guidance, the Company first assesses qualitative factors to determine whether it was necessary to perform the quantitative goodwill impairment test. The assessment considers factors such as, but not limited to, macroeconomic conditions, data showing other companies in the industry and our share price. An entity is not required to calculate the fair value of a reporting unit unless the entity determines, based on a qualitative assessment, that it is more likely than not that its fair value is less than its carrying amount. Events or changes in circumstances which could trigger an impairment review include macroeconomic conditions, industry and market conditions, cost factors, overall financial performance, other entity specific events and sustained decrease in share price.

 

Basic and Diluted Net Loss per Share of Common Stock

Basic and Diluted Net Loss per Share of Common Stock

 

The Company follows FASB ASC 260, “Earnings Per Share,” when reporting earnings per share resulting in the presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share.  Because the Company reported a net loss for each of the periods presented, common stock equivalents, including preferred stock, stock options and warrants were anti-dilutive; therefore, the amounts reported for basic and diluted loss per share were the same. 

 

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, and 2023, there were shares potentially issuable, that could dilute basic earnings per share in the future that were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive to the Company’s losses during the periods presented. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, there were approximately 8,208,000 anti-dilutive shares consisting of 2,177,000 unvested performance restricted stock units, restricted stock units, and restricted stock awards, 301,000 shares issuable upon exercise of stock options, 4,629,000 shares issuable upon exercise of warrants, 957,000 shares issuable upon conversion of convertible debt, and 144,000 shares issuable upon conversion of preferred stock. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, there were approximately 7,108,000 anti-dilutive shares consisting of 1,998,000 unvested performance restricted stock units, restricted stock units, restricted stock awards and options under the stock purchase plan, 337,000 shares issuable upon exercise of stock options, 4,629,000 shares issuable upon exercise of warrants, and 144,000 shares issuable upon conversion of preferred stock.

 

Stock-Based Compensation

Stock-Based Compensation

 

We account for stock-based compensation under the provisions of FASB ASC 718, “Compensation—Stock Compensation”, which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all stock-based awards made to employees and directors based on estimated fair values on the grant date. We estimate the fair value of stock options on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes model. The assumptions used in the Black-Scholes option pricing model include risk-free interest rates, expected volatility and expected life of the stock options. Changes in these assumptions can materially affect estimates of fair value stock-based compensation, and the compensation expense recorded in future periods. The value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as an expense over the requisite service periods using the straight-line method. For performance restricted stock units with stock price appreciation targets (see Note 6 – Stock Options, Restricted Stock and Warrants), we applied a lattice approach that incorporated a Monte Carlo simulation, which involved random iterations that took different future price paths over the restricted stock unit’s contractual life based on the appropriate probability distributions (which are based on commonly applied Black Scholes inputs). The fair value was determined by taking the average of the grant date fair values under each Monte Carlo simulation trial. We recognize compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the performance period and there is no ongoing adjustment or reversal based on actual achievement during the period.

 

We account for stock-based compensation awards to non-employees in accordance with ASU No. 2018-07, Compensation – Stock Based Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting , which aligns accounting for share-based payments issued to nonemployees to that of employees under the existing guidance of Topic 718, with certain exceptions. This update supersedes previous guidance for equity-based payments to nonemployees under Subtopic 505-50, “Equity – Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees”.  

 

All issuances of stock options or other equity instruments to non-employees as consideration for goods or services received by the Company are accounted for based on the fair value of the equity instruments issued. Non-employee equity-based payments are recorded as an expense over the service period, as if we had paid cash for the services. At the end of each financial reporting period, prior to vesting or prior to the completion of the services, the fair value of the equity-based payments will be re-measured, and the non-cash expense recognized during the period will be adjusted accordingly. Since the fair value of equity-based payments granted to non-employees is subject to change in the future, the amount of the future expense will include fair value re-measurements until the equity-based payments are fully vested or the service completed.
