Zoom’s cash and cash equivalents balance on March 31, 2015 was $65 thousand, down $73 thousand from December 31, 2014.  Zoom’s maximum available line of credit was $1.25 million on March 31, 2015, of which bank debt outstanding under this line of credit was $469 thousand.  Zoom’s $372 thousand decrease of which bank debt and $90 thousand increase in prepaid expenses decreased cash, while a $231 thousand decrease in net accounts receivable, $94 thousand  decrease in net inventory, and $75 thousand increase in accounts payable increased cash.

 

On March 31, 2015 the Company had working capital of $2.0 million including $65 thousand in cash and cash equivalents.  On December 31, 2014 we had working capital of $2.1 million including $138 thousand in cash and cash equivalents. Our current ratio at March 31, 2015 was 2.4 compared to 2.1 at December 31, 2014.

 

On December 18, 2012, the Company entered into a Financing Agreement with Rosenthal & Rosenthal, Inc. (the “Financing Agreement”). The Financing Agreement provided for up to $1.75 million of revolving credit, subject to a borrowing base formula and other terms and conditions as specified in the Financing Agreement. The Financing Agreement continues until November 30, 2014 and from year to year thereafter, unless sooner terminated by either party as specified in the Financing Agreement.  The Lender shall have the right to terminate the Financing Agreement at any time by giving the Company sixty days’ prior written notice.  Borrowings are secured by all of the Company assets including intellectual property. The Loan Agreement contained several covenants, including a requirement that the Company maintain tangible net worth of not less than $2.5 million and working capital of not less than $2.5 million. On March 25, 2014, the Company entered into an amendment to the Financing Agreement (the “Amendment”) with an effective date of January 1, 2013.  The Amendment clarified the definition of current assets in the Financing Agreement, reduced the size of the revolving credit line to $1.25 million, and revised the financial covenants so that Zoom is required to maintain tangible net worth of not less than $2.0 million and working capital of not less than $1.75 million.

 

On March 31, 2015 Zoom was in compliance with the covenants of the Financing Agreement with Rosenthal & Rosenthal, Inc.

 

At March 31, 2015 the Company's total current assets were $3.5 million, and current liabilities including $0.5 million bank debt were $1.5 million. The Company did not have any long-term debt at March 31, 2015.

 

The Company is continuing to develop new products and to take other measures to increase sales.  Increasing sales typically results in increased inventory and higher accounts receivable, both of which reduce cash. Zoom believes that its financial resources and line of credit are sufficient to fund operations for the foreseeable future if Zoom management's sales and operating profit expectations are met.

On December 31, 2014 we had working capital of $2.1 million including $138 thousand in cash and cash equivalents.  On December 31, 2013 we had working capital of $2.3 million including $55 thousand in cash and cash equivalents. Our current ratio at December 31, 2014 was 2.1 compared to 2.8 at December 31, 2013.

 

In 2014, the Company’s operating activities used $411 thousand in cash, primarily due to $361 thousand recognized foreign currency gains previously reported in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income on the Balance Sheets, and $137 thousand increase in accounts receivable. In 2013, the Company’s operating activities used $0.1 million in cash, primarily due to a net loss of $1.1 million, offset by a $0.9 million decrease in inventory. In 2013, the Company’s net cash was used in financing activities to reduce bank debt by $0.6 million. Also in 2013, the Company increased net cash in financing activities by $0.2 million from the net proceeds of a rights offering completed in August 2013.  Under the rights offering, existing shareholders of the Company’s common stock were granted rights to purchase, at an offering price of $0.28 per share, one share of stock for each share held.  The rights offering resulted in the issuance of 1,009,000 shares of common stock.

                                                                                                                                   

To conserve cash and manage our liquidity, we have implemented cost-cutting initiatives including the reduction of employee headcount and overhead costs. On December 31, 2014 we had a headcount of 24 compared to 28 as of December 31, 2013. As of February 27, 2015 we had 24 full-time and part-time employees, and 2 consultants, one in sales and one in information systems that was not included in our headcount.  We plan to continue to assess our cost structure as it relates to our revenues and cash position, and we may make further reductions if the actions are deemed necessary.
