NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 

FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2014 AND 2013

 

NOTE 1BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

These statements should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted. The operating results and cash flows for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2014, are not necessarily indicative of the results that will be achieved for the full fiscal year ending December 31, 2014 or for future periods.

 

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared without audit and reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of financial position and the results of operations for the interim periods. Preparing financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses. Estimates are used for, but not limited to, the accounting for the allowance for doubtful accounts, impairment costs, depreciation and amortization, sales returns and discounts, warranty costs, uncertain tax positions and the recoverability of deferred tax assets, stock compensation, contingencies and the fair value of assets and liabilities disclosed. Actual results and outcomes may differ from management’s estimates and assumptions. The statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures, normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP, have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such SEC rules and regulations.

 

The balance sheet at December 31, 2013 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements.

 

Consolidation

 

Effective April 30, 2011, Iveda Solutions, Inc. (the “Company”) completed its acquisition of Sole Vision Technologies (dba “MegaSys”), a company based in Taiwan. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and MegaSys (from May 1, 2011 through September 30, 2012). All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Going Concern

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company’s Audit Report on the Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2013 contained a going concern qualification. Since inception, the Company has generated an accumulated deficit from operations of approximately $25.9 million at September 30, 2014 and has used approximately $4.2 million in cash to fund operations through the nine months ended September 30, 2014. As a result, a significant risk exists regarding our ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might result from this uncertainty.

 

A multi-step plan was adopted by management to enable the Company to continue to operate and begin to report operating profits. The highlights of that plan are:

 

·In September 2014, the Company engaged an investment banker to assist in evaluating potential equity financing opportunities in the near term.

 

·As approved by the Board of Directors in December 2013 the Company raised approximately $3.6 million through the private placement of convertible debentures and warrants through June 27, 2014 and will continue efforts of this nature throughout the remainder of the fiscal year as deemed necessary.

 

·The Board of Directors approved a plan for the Company to engage a financial advisor in connection with a potential capital raise of up to $30 million (“Long Term Financing”).

NOTE 1BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - Continued

 

·The Company is actively installing its cloud based software platform with certain telecommunications companies in other countries to create a reoccurring licensing revenue model as well as a distribution channel for proprietary video camera hardware in each respective country.

 

·The Company intends to continue to participate in industry and vertical tradeshows to launch new products, generate leads, solicit resellers and other sales channels, and identify potential technology partners.

 

·In December 2013, Iveda hired Bob Brilon as our Chief Financial Officer and Executive Vice President of Business Development. He has strong ties with the investment community and has extensive experience in mergers and acquisitions, strategic growth planning, and interacting with domestic and foreign institutional investors, which will be instrumental to our market expansion, global distribution of our cloud video hosting platform and services, and raising capital to fund our growth. In February 2014, the board of Directors appointed Mr. Brilon as the Company’s President.

 

Concentrations

 

Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk, consist principally of cash and cash equivalents and trade accounts receivable.

 

Substantially all cash is deposited in two financial institutions, one in the United States and one in Taiwan. At times, amounts on deposit in the United States may be in excess of the FDIC insurance limit. Deposits in Taiwan financial institutions are insured by CDIC (Central Deposit Insurance Corporation) with maximum coverage of NTD 3 million. At times, amounts on deposit in Taiwan may be in excess of the CDIC insurance limit.

 

Accounts receivable are unsecured, and the Company is at risk to the extent such amount becomes uncollectible. The Company performs periodic credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition and generally does not require collateral. US based segment revenue from two customers represented approximately 41% of total revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, and two customers represented approximately 92% of total accounts receivable at September 30, 2014. Taiwan based segment revenue from three customers represented approximately 67% of total revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, and three customers represented approximately 64% of total accounts receivable at September 30, 2014.

 

Intangible Assets

 

Intangible assets consist of trademarks and other intangible assets associated with the purchase price allocation of MegaSys. Such assets are being amortized over their estimated useful lives ranging from six months to ten years. Other Intangible Assets are fully amortized as of September 30, 2014. Future amortization of Intangible Assets is as follows:

 

Trademarks

 

2014  $5,000 
2015   20,000 
2016   20,000 
2017   20,000 
Thereafter   66,666 
Total  $131,666 

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

Fair value estimates discussed herein are based upon certain market assumptions and pertinent information available to management as of September 30, 2014. The respective carrying values of certain on-balance-sheet financial instruments approximate their fair values. These financial instruments include cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses, convertible notes and amounts due to related parties. Fair values were assumed to approximate carrying values for these financial instruments because they are short term in nature and their carrying amounts approximate fair values or they are receivable or payable on demand.

NOTE 1BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - Continued

 

Derivative Liabilities

 

The Convertible Debentures include both a conversion option and detachable warrants that are being accounted for as derivative liabilities because of anti-dilution provisions, which under US GAAP, prevents them from being indexed to the Company’s stock triggering derivative accounting. The fair value of the conversion option and detachable warrants is carried on the face of the accompanying balance sheet as a Derivative Liability, in current liabilities because the underlying instruments are convertible by the holder at any time until maturity. Any change in fair value of the derivative liability is reported as a gain or loss on derivative liability in the accompanying statement of operations.

 

Segment Information

 

The Company conducts operations in various geographic regions outside the United States. The operations and the customer base conducted in the foreign countries are similar to the United States operations. The net revenues and net assets (liabilities) for other significant geographic regions outside the United States are as follows:

 

   Net Revenues   Net Assets (Liabilities) 
US Revenue  $470,792   $(3,349,278)
Asia (all of MegaSys)  $423,224   $(99,240)
Philippines  $163,059      
Mexico  $158,061      

  

Furthermore, due to operations in various geographic locations, the Company is susceptible to changes in national, regional and local economic conditions, demographic trends, consumer confidence in the economy and discretionary spending priorities that may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s future operations and results.

 

The Company is required to collect certain taxes and fees from customers on behalf of government agencies and remit these back to the applicable governmental agencies on a periodic basis. These taxes and fees are legal assessments to the customer, for which the Company has a legal obligation to act as a collection agent. Because the Company does not retain these taxes and fees, the Company does not include such amounts in revenue. The Company records a liability when the amounts are collected and relieves the liability when payments are made to the applicable governmental agencies.

 

The Company operates as two reportable business segments in defined in ASC 280, "Segment Reporting." Each business segment has a chief operating decision maker and management personnel which review their business segment’s performance as it relates to revenue, operating profit and operating expenses.

Reclassification

 

Certain amounts in 2013 may have been reclassified to conform to the 2014 presentation.

 

New Accounting Pronouncements

 

In March 2014 FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2014-07, Applying Variable Interest Entities Guidance to Common Control Leasing Arrangements. The guidance addresses the consolidation of lessors in certain common control leasing arrangements and is based on a consensus reached by the Private Company Council (PCC).

 

Under current U.S. GAAP, a company is required to consolidate an entity in which it has a controlling financial interest. The assessment of controlling financial interest is performed under either: (a) a voting interest model; or (b) a variable interest entity model. In a variable interest entity model, the company has a controlling financial interest when it has: (a) the power to direct the activities that most significantly affect the economic performance of the entity; and (b) the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits of the entity that could be potentially significant to the entity.

 

To determine which model applies, a company preparing financial statements must first determine whether it has a variable interest in the entity being evaluated for consolidation and whether that entity is a variable interest entity.

 

The new guidance allows a private company to elect (when certain conditions exist) not to apply the variable interest entity guidance to a lessor under common control. Instead, the private company would make certain disclosures about the lessor and the leasing arrangement.

 

Under the amendments in this ASU, a private company lessee could elect an alternative not to apply variable interest entity guidance to a lessor when:

NOTE 1BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - Continued

 

·The private company lessee and the lessor are under common control;
·The private company lessee has a leasing arrangement with the lessor;
·Substantially all of the activity between the private company lessee and the lessor is related to the leasing activities (including supporting leasing activities) between those two companies, and
·If the private company lessee explicitly guarantees or provides collateral for any obligation of the lessor related to the asset leased by the private company, then the principal amount of the obligation at inception does not exceed the value of the asset leased by the private company from the lessor.
·If elected, the accounting alternative should be applied to all leasing arrangements meeting the above conditions. The alternative should be applied retrospectively to all periods presented, and is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2014, and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015. Early application is permitted for all financial statements that have not yet been made available for issuance.

 

In April 2014 FASB issued ASU No. 2014-08, Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205) and Property, Plant, and Equipment (Topic 360): Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity. The amendments in the ASU change the criteria for reporting discontinued operations while enhancing disclosures in this area. It also addresses sources of confusion and inconsistent application related to financial reporting of discontinued operations guidance in U.S. GAAP.

 

Under the new guidance, only disposals representing a strategic shift in operations should be presented as discontinued operations. Those strategic shifts should have a major effect on the organization’s operations and financial results. Examples include a disposal of a major geographic area, a major line of business, or a major equity method investment.

 

In addition, the new guidance requires expanded disclosures about discontinued operations that will provide financial statement users with more information about the assets, liabilities, income, and expenses of discontinued operations.

 

The new guidance also requires disclosure of the pre-tax income attributable to a disposal of a significant part of an organization that does not qualify for discontinued operations reporting. This disclosure will provide users with information about the ongoing trends in a reporting organization’s results from continuing operations.

 

The amendments in this ASU enhance convergence between U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). Part of the new definition of discontinued operation is based on elements of the definition of discontinued operations in IFRS 5, Non-Current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations.

 

The amendments in the ASU are effective in the first quarter of 2015 for public organizations with calendar year ends. For most nonpublic organizations, it is effective for annual financial statements with fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2014. Early adoption is permitted.

NOTE 3CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES

 

From December 12, 2013 through June 30, 2014, the Company sold $3,600,000 in principal amount of three year debentures, convertible at any time into Company common stock at $1.50 per share (subject to certain anti-dilution adjustments as described below). The debentures bear interest at a rate of 9.5% per annum accruing monthly with the first interest payment due after six months and then monthly unless at the option of the Company the interest is added to the principal amount. As of September 30, 2014, $78,860 of related interest has been rolled into principal. Purchasers of the convertible debentures also received warrants to purchase an aggregate of 327,273 shares of Company common stock exercisable for five years at an exercise price of $1.65 (subject to certain anti-dilution adjustments as described below). The Company incurred financing costs in connection with the issuance of the convertible debentures of $260,635 paid in cash and issued warrants to purchase 199,243 shares of common stock; these deferred costs have been capitalized in the accompanying balance sheets, and are being amortized to interest expense using the effective interest method over the 3 year life of the debt and 5 year life of the warrants. The fair value of the conversion option and warrants on the date issued to the debenture holders totaled $141,082, is discounted from the carrying value of the debenture and amortized into interest expense over the 3 year life of the debt and 5 year life of the warrants using the effective interest method. At September 30, 2014, the carrying value of the convertible debentures totaled $3,563,184, net of the $115,676 debt discount. Accrued interest related to the convertible debentures totaled $107,360 (excluding $78,860 rolled into principal). The Company expects to amortize approximately $100,000 into interest expense in fiscal 2015 and 2016, reducing to $65,000 in 2017, $48,000 in 2018 and $4,000 in 2019 reducing the related deferred costs and debt discount. Principal and all accrued interest is due at maturity, but can be repaid at any time with no penalty.

 

The fair value of the conversion option and warrants is carried on the face of the accompanying Balance Sheet as derivative liability and totaled $65,264 at September 30, 2014. Any change in fair value of the derivative liability is reported as a gain or loss on derivative liability in the accompanying statement of operations. The Company recognized a gain on the derivative of $59,443and $101,444 respectively, during the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2014.

 

Both the debentures and the warrants described above contain anti-dilution provisions, which provide that in the event that the Company issues additional equity securities, other than certain excluded issuances, the conversion price and exercise price of the debentures and warrants, respectively, will be reduced to equal the effective price at which the additional equity securities were deemed issued. Such effective price will be calculated as the quotient obtained by dividing the total number of additional equity securities by the consideration received by the Company for such issuance.

NOTE 7EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE

 

The following table provides a reconciliation of the numerators and denominators reflected in the basic and diluted earnings per share computations.

 

Basic EPS is computed by dividing reported earnings available to stockholders by the weighted average shares outstanding. The Company had net losses for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, and the effect of including dilutive securities in the earnings per common share would have been anti-dilutive. Accordingly, all options and warrants to purchase common shares (totaling 9,282,521 potential shares at September 30, 2014) and shares potentially issuable upon conversion of the convertible debenture (totaling 2,452,573 as of September 30, 2014) were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Conditions and Results of Operations is based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires the Company’s management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. A description of our critical accounting policies and related judgments and estimates that affect the preparation of our financial statements is set forth in Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Conditions and Results of Operations,” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013. Such policies are unchanged.

 

Overview

 

Iveda Solutions, Inc. began operations on January 24, 2005, under the name IntelaSight, Inc., a Washington corporation doing business as Iveda Solutions (“IntelaSight”). On October 15, 2009, IntelaSight became a wholly-owned operating subsidiary of Iveda Corporation (formerly known as Charmed Homes, Inc.), a Nevada corporation, through a merger. All Company operations were conducted through IntelaSight until December 31, 2010, at which time IntelaSight merged with and into Iveda Corporation, and changed its name to Iveda Solutions, Inc. On April 30, 2011, the Company completed its acquisition of Sole-Vision Technologies, Inc. (doing business as MegaSys), a corporation organized under the laws of the Republic of China (Taiwan) (“MegaSys”). As of April 30, 2011, MegaSys became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.

 

Iveda is an established and innovative company, delivering secure, open source and enterprise class managed video services by leveraging the power of cloud computing. The Company’s robust enterprise class video hosting architecture, utilizing data centers, allows scalability, flexibility, and centralized video management, access, and storage, without the burden of buying and maintaining software and equipment. Iveda’s customers simply log in online, access their cameras and begin watching live and/or recorded video data from anywhere in the world at any time using any Internet-enabled device.

 

Iveda developed Sentir, a revolutionary Software as a Service video management platform, which enables companies such as telecommunications, cable, internet, data centers, and other communication companies with subscribers already paying for monthly services, to offer cloud video surveillance services for additional recurring monthly revenue.

The Company began selling and installing video surveillance equipment, primarily for security purposes and secondarily for operational efficiencies and marketing, and provides video hosting in-vehicle streaming video, archiving, and real-time remote surveillance services with a proprietary reporting system, DSR™ (Daily Surveillance Report), to a variety of businesses and organizations. By consolidating computer power into a single location at the server level, the Company creates efficiencies due to economies of scale leveraging cloud computing, which offers more features and flexibility compared to traditional box systems. The Company has a SAFETY Act Designation by the Department of Homeland Security as an anti-terrorism technology provider. The Company’s current principal sources of revenue are derived from our video hosting real-time surveillance and equipment sales and installation but anticipates licensing its cloud based video platform will be more significant in the future.

 

MegaSys, our Taiwanese subsidiary, specializes in deploying video surveillance systems for airports, commercial buildings, government customers, data centers, shopping centers, hotels, banks, and Safe City initiatives in Taiwan and other neighboring countries. MegaSys integrates security surveillance products, software and services to provide integrated security solutions to the end user. Most of MegaSys’s revenues are derived from one-time sales, which differs from Iveda’s business model of on-going video hosting, remote video storage, and real-time surveillance revenues. MegaSys does not own any proprietary technology or intellectual property other than certain trademarks in Taiwan used in its business.

 

New Accounting Pronouncements

 

In March 2014 the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU No. 2014-07, Applying Variable Interest Entities Guidance to Common Control Leasing Arrangements. The guidance addresses the consolidation of lessors in certain common control leasing arrangements and is based on a consensus reached by the Private Company Council (PCC).

 

Under current U.S. GAAP, a company is required to consolidate an entity in which it has a controlling financial interest. The assessment of controlling financial interest is performed under either: (a) a voting interest model; or (b) a variable interest entity model. In a variable interest entity model, the company has a controlling financial interest when it has: (a) the power to direct the activities that most significantly affect the economic performance of the entity; and (b) the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits of the entity that could be potentially significant to the entity.

 

To determine which model applies, a company preparing financial statements must first determine whether it has a variable interest in the entity being evaluated for consolidation and whether that entity is a variable interest entity.

 

The new guidance allows a private company to elect (when certain conditions exist) not to apply the variable interest entity guidance to a lessor under common control. Instead, the private company would make certain disclosures about the lessor and the leasing arrangement.

 

Under the amendments in this ASU, a private company lessee could elect an alternative not to apply variable interest entity guidance to a lessor when:

 

·The private company lessee and the lessor are under common control;
·The private company lessee has a leasing arrangement with the lessor;
·Substantially all of the activity between the private company lessee and the lessor is related to the leasing activities (including supporting leasing activities) between those two companies, and
·If the private company lessee explicitly guarantees or provides collateral for any obligation of the lessor related to the asset leased by the private company, then the principal amount of the obligation at inception does not exceed the value of the asset leased by the private company from the lessor.

 

If elected, the accounting alternative should be applied to all leasing arrangements meeting the above conditions. The alternative should be applied retrospectively to all periods presented, and is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2014, and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015. Early application is permitted for all financial statements that have not yet been made available for issuance.

 

In April 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2014-08, Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205) and Property, Plant, and Equipment (Topic 360): Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity. The amendments in the ASU change the criteria for reporting discontinued operations while enhancing disclosures in this area. It also addresses sources of confusion and inconsistent application related to financial reporting of discontinued operations guidance in U.S. GAAP.

 

Under the new guidance, only disposals representing a strategic shift in operations should be presented as discontinued operations. Those strategic shifts should have a major effect on the organization’s operations and financial results. Examples include a disposal of a major geographic area, a major line of business, or a major equity method investment.

 

21
 

  

In addition, the new guidance requires expanded disclosures about discontinued operations that will provide financial statement users with more information about the assets, liabilities, income, and expenses of discontinued operations.

 

The new guidance also requires disclosure of the pre-tax income attributable to a disposal of a significant part of an organization that does not qualify for discontinued operations reporting. This disclosure will provide users with information about the ongoing trends in a reporting organization’s results from continuing operations.

 

The amendments in this ASU enhance convergence between U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). Part of the new definition of discontinued operation is based on elements of the definition of discontinued operations in IFRS 5, Non-Current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations.

 

The amendments in the ASU are effective in the first quarter of 2015 for public organizations with calendar year ends. For most nonpublic organizations, it is effective for annual financial statements with fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2014. Early adoption is permitted.

 

The Company’s management does not currently anticipate that the future application of either new accounting standard will have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

 

Results of Operations

 

Revenue We recorded revenue of $489,009 for the three months ended September 30, 2014, compared to $568,918 for the three months ended September 30, 2013, a decrease of $79,909 or 14% In the three months ended September 30, 2014, our recurring service revenue was $162,966 or 33% of revenue, and our equipment sales and installation revenue was $305,489 or 62% of revenue, compared to recurring service revenue of $149,578 or 26% of revenue, and equipment sales and installation revenue of $409,222 or 72% of revenue for the same period in 2013. Our U.S. operations saw an increase of $66,200 in revenues during the three months ended September 30, 2014, while our MegaSys subsidiary saw revenues decrease by $146,109 during the quarter. This decrease was due to an anticipated decline in large project-driven revenue from Taiwan.

 

We recorded revenue of $1,215,135 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, compared to $1,978,306 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, a decrease of $763,171 or 39%. In the nine months ended September 30, 2014, our recurring service revenue was $465,604 or 38% of revenue, and our equipment sales and installation revenue was $707,505 or 58% of revenue, compared to recurring service revenue of $476,410 or 24% of revenue, and equipment sales and installation revenue of $1,467,044 or 74% of revenue for the same period in 2013. The decrease in revenue was due to an anticipated decline in large project revenues in Taiwan during the nine months ended September 30, 2014.

 

Cost of Revenue Total cost of revenue was $397,173 (81% of revenues; gross margin of 19%) for the three months ended September 30, 2014, compared to $471,992 (83% of revenue; gross margin of 17%) for the three months ended September 30, 2013, a decrease of $74,819 or 16%. The decrease of cost of revenue and increase of gross margin were primarily driven by a shift toward recurring revenue streams and a decrease in reliance on equipment sales, which carried higher costs and lower margins.

 

Total cost of revenue was $921,574 (76% of revenues; gross margin of 24%) for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, compared to $1,667,665 (84% of revenues; gross margin of 16%) for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, a decrease of $746,091 or 45%. The decrease of cost of revenue and increase of gross margin were primarily driven by a shift toward recurring revenue streams and a decrease in reliance on equipment sales, which carried higher costs and lower margins.

 

Operating Expenses Operating expenses were $1,220,132 for the three months ended September 30, 2014, compared to $1,645,563 for the three months ended September 30, 2013, a decrease of $425,431 or 26%. The decrease in operating expenses was primarily related to a reduction in direct sales costs, personnel, direct advertising, and financial consulting expenses.

 

Operating expenses were $4,278,944 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, compared to $4,531,718 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, a decrease of $252,774 or 6%. The decrease in operating expenses in 2014 over 2013 is due primarily to decreased direct sales costs, personnel, direct advertising, financial consulting, and research and development expenses.

 

Loss from Operations For the three months ended September 30, 2014, the loss from operations decreased to $1,128,296 compared to $1,548,637 for the three months ended September 30, 2013, a decrease in loss of $420,341 or 27%. The decrease in loss from operations was primarily due to the decrease in operating expenses.

 

22
 

  

For the nine months ended September 30, 2014, the loss from operations decreased to $3,985,383 compared to $4,221,077 for the three months ended September 30, 2013, a decrease in loss of $235,694 or 6%. The decrease in loss from operations was primarily due to the decrease in operating expenses.

 

Other Expense-Net Other expense-net was $73,041 for the three months ended September 30, 2014, compared to $24,832 for the three months ended September 30, 2013, the increase of $48,209 or 194% was primarily related to interest accrued on the convertible debentures.

 

Other expense-net was $194,407 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, compared to $118,332 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, an increase of $76,075 or 64% primarily related to interest accrued on the convertible debentures.

 

Net Loss The decrease of $372,094 or 24% in the net loss to $1,201,375 for the three months ended September 30, 2014, from $1,573,469 for the three months ended September 30, 2013, was primarily due to decreased operating expenses.

 

The decrease of $143,702 or 3% in the net loss to $4,195,707 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, from $4,339,409 for the nine months ended September30, 2013, was primarily the effect of reduced operating expenses.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

On September 30, 2014, we had cash and cash equivalents of $275,700 including $243,028 in our domestic business and $32,672 in our foreign business. The decrease in cash from $559,729 as of December 31, 2013 was primarily due to operating losses and advances to suppliers. There are no legal or economic factors that materially impact our ability to transfer funds between our domestic and foreign businesses.

 

Net cash used in operating activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2014, and for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, was $4,230,581 and $2,835,549 respectively. Cash used in operating activities for those periods consisted primarily of the net loss from operations.

 

Net cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, and the nine months ended September 30, 2013, was $244,145 and $89,897 respectively.

 

We have experienced significant operating losses since our inception. At December 31, 2013, we had approximately $17 million in net operating loss carry forwards available for federal and state income tax purposes. We did not recognize any benefit from these operating loss carry forwards for the year ended 2013 or through the nine months ended September 30, 2014. Our operating loss carry forwards expire starting in 2025 and continuing through 2032.

 

The Company has limited liquidity and has not yet established a stabilized source of revenues sufficient to cover operating costs. At our current estimated burn rate, the Company negative working capital of $978,473, which means our current liabilities exceed our current assets by that amount. Accordingly, the Company must raise capital to continue as a going concern. The Company is exploring financing alternatives for additional funding. During the quarter the Company entered into debenture agreements with certain members of the Board of Directors of the Company (see Note 6). During the quarter, the Company engaged an investment banker to act as the Company’s financial and capital markets advisor to seek to raise up to $30 million in long term financing. The Company’s continuation as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to generate greater revenues through increased sales and/or its ability to raise additional funds through the capital markets. No assurance can be given that the Company will be successful in these efforts. Even if funding is available, the Company cannot assure investors that it will be available on terms that are favorable to the Company’s existing shareholders. Additional funding may be accomplished through the issuance of equity or debt securities that could be significantly dilutive to the percentage ownership of the Company’s existing shareholders. In addition, these newly issued securities may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of existing shareholders. Accordingly, such a financing transaction could materially and adversely impact the price of our common stock.

 

Our U.S. operation’s revenue from two customers represented approximately 46% of total revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2014, and approximately 92% of total accounts receivable at September 30, 2014. No other customers represented greater than 10% of total revenues in the three months ended September 30, 2014.

 

As of the three months ended September 30, 2014, our U.S. operation has two new customer receivables aged over 120 days. The terms for payment for our U.S. operations are generally “due upon receipt” or, for municipalities, due within 30 days. These customers have been identified and an adequate allowance for doubtful accounts has been set up to offset the risk of uncollectibility.

 

23
 

  

Our Taiwan operation’s revenue from three customers represented approximately 67% of total revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2014, and represent approximately 64% of total accounts receivable at September 30, 2014. No other customers represented greater than 10% of total revenues in the three months ended September 30, 2014.

 

Our Taiwan operations have 92% of gross accounts receivables aged over 120 days as of September 30, 2014. The payment terms vary based on the timing of the completion of customer projects. MegaSys generally does not control the time of payment because MegaSys’s product is only one component of the larger project. In general, payment takes place within one year of commencing the project, except that 5% of the total payment is retained and released one year after the completion of the project. Excluding such retained amounts, MegaSys provides an allowance for doubtful accounts for any receivables that will not be paid within one year. Management has set up a 57%, or $357,064, allowance for doubtful accounts as of the quarter ended September 30, 2014. Management deems the rest to be collectible based on the nature of the customer contracts and past experience with similar customers.

 

Substantially all cash is deposited in two financial institutions, one in the United States and one in Taiwan. At times, amounts on deposit in the United States may be in excess of the FDIC insurance limit. Deposits in Taiwan financial institutions are insured by CDIC (Central Deposit Insurance Corporation) with maximum coverage of NTD 3 million. At times, amounts on deposit in Taiwan may be in excess of the CDIC insurance limit.

 

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements During the reporting period, the Company had no off-balance sheet arrangements, as such term is defined in Item 303(a)(4) of Regulation S-K.

 

ITEM 3.QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

 

As a smaller reporting company, the Company is not required to provide Part I, Item 3 disclosures in this Quarterly Report.

 

ITEM 4.CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined under Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), as of September 30, 2014. Based on our evaluation, our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer concluded that the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of September 30, 2014 due to limited direct oversight of operations at our MegaSys subsidiary.

 

This control deficiency could result in an audit adjustment or a misstatement of substantially all financial statement accounts that would result in a material misstatement to the annual or interim consolidated financial statements and disclosures that would be not be prevented or detected. As our resources allow, we plan to add financial personnel to enable us to properly provide accurate and timely financial reporting at our MegaSys subsidiary.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

There have not been any changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) during the most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting for our U.S. operations. We are in the process of evaluating our internal controls over financial reporting for MegaSys.

 

Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls

 

Our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and internal controls will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of a simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management or Board override of the control.

 

24
 

  

The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

 

Segregation of Duties

 

As of September 30, 2014, the Company had two employees knowledgeable in SEC accounting and reporting. Our management has put in place policies and procedures designed, to the extent possible, to segregate the duties of initiating transactions, maintaining custody over assets, and recording transactions. Due to our size and limited resources, segregation of all conflicting duties may not always be possible and may not be economically feasible.
