General

 

We develop, market and support a family of entity identification, high speed data mining, cybercrime and advanced persistent threat detection products. Our product families include:

 

 

TraceCop™ for identity discovery and disclosure,

 

Savant™ for high speed network data mining and analytics, and advanced persistent threat detection.

 

We market and distribute our products through a direct sales force to:

 

 

end-users,

 

value-added resellers,

 

system integrators,

 

managed service providers, and

 

distributors.

 

Our end-user customers include:

 

 

U.S. federal government entities,

 

local government entities,

 

banks,

 

airlines,

 

credit unions,

 

other financial institutions,

 

hospitals and other healthcare providers, and

Government Sales

 

Sales to U.S. government customers accounted for 81.6% of our revenues for the year ended December 31, 2017, compared to 69.3% of our revenue in 2016. We expect to continue to derive a substantial portion of our revenues from sales to governmental entities in the future as we continue to market our entity identification products and data mining products to the government. Sales to the government present risks in addition to those involved in sales to commercial customers that could adversely affect our revenues, including potential disruption due to irregularities in or interruptions to appropriation and spending patterns, delays in approving a federal budget and the government’s reservation of the right to cancel contracts and purchase orders for its convenience.

 

Generally, we make our sales under purchase orders and contracts. Our customers, including government customers, may cancel their orders or contracts with little or no prior notice and without penalty. Although we transact business with various government entities, we believe that the cancellation of any particular order in itself could have a material adverse effect on our financial results. Because we derive and expect to continue to derive a substantial portion of our revenue from sales to government entities, a large number of cancelled or renegotiated government orders or contracts could have a material adverse effect on our financial results. Currently, we are not aware of any proposed cancellation or renegotiation of any of our existing arrangements with government entities.

 

Industry Background

 

We develop, market and support a family of entity identification products, data mining and advanced persistent threat detection products. Our product families include:

 

 

TraceCop for entity identification and;

 

Savant for high speed data mining and advanced persistent threat detection.

 

Intrusion’s products help protect critical information assets by quickly detecting, protecting, analyzing and reporting attacks or misuse of classified, private and regulated information for government and enterprise networks.

 

Products

 

TraceCop

 

Our TraceCop product family includes a database of worldwide IP addresses which are regularly updated. In addition, other information and analysis results, such as geo-location data, may also be included. Customers use the TraceCop data to aid in the identification and location of individuals involved in cybercrime. In addition to the IP database, the TraceCop family includes analysis software and a GUI interface to assist analysts in locating cybercriminals and other bad guys. We license TraceCop to our customers for a fee and offer updates for the TraceCop database. We either install and update the database at the Intrusion facility or install the TraceCop database on a customer server onsite.

 

Savant

 

Savant is a high speed network data mining and analytic product which organizes the data into networks of relationships and associations. Savant operates on networks with data flows of up to 20 gigabits without dropping packets. Savant provides corporate CIOs and CISOs with the ability to assess and mitigate many of todays’ cybersecurity threats and challenges. The Savant solution provides real-time access and insight into a company’s own indisputable and quantifiable network data for more effective, unbiased decision making. Uses of the Savant product include data mining, data loss prevention, advanced persistent threat detection and identification of Internet habits of network users. Savant is a software product which we license to our customers and for which we sell data updates. We also re-sell the server required to implement Savant into the customer’s network.

 

Third-Party Products

 

We currently resell standard commercially available computers and servers from various vendors which we integrate with our different software products for implementation into our customer networks. We do not consider any of these third party relationships to be material to the Company’s business or results of operations.

Customer Services

 

Our product sales may include installation and threat data interpretation.

 

Product Development

 

The network security industry is characterized by rapidly changing technology, standards and customer demands all shaped by the current state of the economy. We believe that our future success depends in large part upon the timely enhancement of existing products as well as the development of new technologically advanced products that meet cybersecurity industry standards, perform successfully and efficiently. We are currently marketing TraceCop and Savant products to meet emerging market requirements and are continuously engaged in testing to ensure that our products interoperate with other manufacturers’ products, which comply with industry standards.

 

During 2017 and 2016, our research and development expenditures were approximately $2.2 and $2.5 million, respectively. All of our expenditures for research and development have been expensed as incurred. At December 31, 2017, we had 21 employees engaged in research, product development and engineering.

 

Manufacturing and Supplies

 

Our internal manufacturing operations consist primarily of software, packaging, testing and quality control of finished units.

The hardware we sell are standard off-the-shelf products, which we sell directly to OEM customers or resell from our suppliers.

 

Intellectual Property and Licenses

 

Our success and our ability to compete are dependent, in part, upon our proprietary technology. We principally rely on a combination of contractual rights, trade secrets and copyright laws to establish and protect our proprietary rights in our products. In addition, we have received two patents. We have also entered into non-disclosure agreements with our suppliers, resellers and certain customers to limit access to and disclosure of proprietary information. There can be no assurance that the steps taken by us to protect our intellectual property will be adequate to prevent misappropriation of our technology or that our competitors will not independently develop technologies that are substantially equivalent or superior to our technology.

 

We have entered into software and product license agreements with various suppliers. These license agreements provide us with additional software and hardware components that add value to our security products. These license agreements do not provide proprietary rights that are unique or exclusive to us and are generally available to other parties on the same or similar terms and conditions, subject to payment of applicable license fees and royalties. We do not consider any of the product license, software or supplier agreements to be material to our business, but rather complementary to our business and product offerings.

 

Sales, Marketing and Customers

 

Field Sales Force. Our direct sales organization focuses on major account sales, channel partners including distributors, value added resellers (VARs) and integrators; promotes our products to current and potential customers; and monitors evolving customer requirements. The field sales and technical support force provides training and technical support to our resellers and end users and assists our customers in designing cyber secure data networking solutions. We currently conduct sales and marketing efforts from our principal office in Richardson (Dallas), Texas. In addition, we have sales personnel, sales engineers or sales representatives located in Virginia and California.

 

Resellers. Resellers such as domestic and international system integrators and VARs sell our products as stand-alone solutions to end users and integrate our products with products sold by other vendors into network security systems that are sold to end users. Our field sales force and technical support organization provide support to these resellers. Our agreements with resellers are non-exclusive, and our resellers generally sell other products that may compete with our products. Resellers may place higher priority on products of other suppliers who are larger and have more name recognition, and there can be no assurance that resellers will continue to sell and support our products.

 

Foreign Sales. We believe that rapidly evolving international markets are potential sources of future sales. Our export sales are currently planned to be made through an indirect sales force comprised of international resellers in Europe and Asia. Export sales did not account for any revenue in 2017 and 2016. See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” included in this report for a geographic breakdown of our revenue in 2017 and 2016.

Marketing. We have implemented several methods to market our products, including participation in trade shows and seminars, distribution of sales literature and product specifications and ongoing communication with our resellers and installed base of end-user customers.

 

Customers. Our end-user customers include U.S. federal government entities, financial institutions, energy companies and healthcare providers. Sales to certain customers and groups of customers can be impacted by seasonal capital expenditure approval cycles, and sales to customers within certain geographic regions can be subject to seasonal fluctuations in demand.

 

In 2017, 81.6% of our revenue was derived from a variety of U.S. government entities through direct sales and indirectly through system integrators and resellers. These sales are attributable to six U.S. Government customers through direct and indirect channels, three exceeded 10% of total revenue individually in 2017. Comparatively, sales to the U.S. Government through direct and indirect channels totaled 69.3% of total revenues for 2016. These sales are attributable to six U.S. Government customers through direct and indirect channels, three exceeded 10% of total revenue individually in 2016. A reduction in our sales to U.S. government entities could have a material adverse effect on our business and operating results if not replaced.

 

Backlog. We believe that only a small portion of our order backlog is non-cancelable and that the dollar amount associated with the non-cancelable portion is immaterial. We purchase, or contract for the purchase of, our inventory based upon our forecast of customer demand and we maintain inventories in advance of receiving firm orders from customers. Commercial orders are generally fulfilled within two days to two weeks following receipt of an order. Certain orders may be scheduled over several months, generally not exceeding one year.

 

Customer Support, Service and Warranty. We service, repair and provide technical support for our products. Our field sales and technical support force works closely with resellers and end-user customers on-site and by telephone to assist with pre- and post-sales support services such as network security design, system installation and technical consulting. By working closely with our customers, our employees increase their understanding of end-user requirements and provide input to the product development process.

 

We warrant all of our products against defects in materials and workmanship for periods ranging from 90 days to 36 months. Before and after expiration of the product warranty period, we offer both on-site and factory-based support, parts replacement and repair services. Extended warranty services are separately invoiced on a time and materials basis or under an annual maintenance contract.

 

Competition

 

The market for network and data protection security solutions is intensely competitive and subject to frequent product introductions with new technologies, improved price and performance characteristics. Industry suppliers compete in areas such as conformity to existing and emerging industry standards, interoperability with networking and other security products, management and security capabilities, performance, price, ease of use, scalability, reliability, flexibility, product features and technical support. The market for identity identification and data mining is more fragmented and thus allows more opportunities for small companies to compete in.

 

There are numerous companies competing in various segments of the data security markets. At this time, we have limited competitors for TraceCop; however, we expect competitors to emerge in the future. These competitors perform only a portion of the functions that we currently perform with TraceCop. Also, we have been collecting the TraceCop data continuously for more than ten years. We believe that none of our current or future competitors have the ability to provide this historical data. In our newest market segment, data mining and advanced persistent threat detection, we compete with several companies including Niksun, NetScout, Fireeye (Mandiant) and Palo Alto Networks.

 

Furthermore, some of our competitors have substantially greater financial, technical, sales and marketing resources, better name recognition and a larger customer base than we do. Even if we do introduce advanced products that meet evolving customer requirements in a timely manner, there can be no assurance that our new products will gain market acceptance.

 

Certain companies in the network security industry have expanded their product lines or technologies in recent years as a result of acquisitions. Further, more companies have developed products which conform to existing and emerging industry standards and have sought to compete on the basis of price. We anticipate increased competition from large networking equipment vendors, which are expanding their capabilities in the network security market. In addition, we anticipate increased competition from private “start-up” companies that have developed, or are developing, advanced security products. Increased competition in the security industry could result in significant price competition, reduced profit margins or loss of market share, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition. There can be no assurance that we will be able to compete successfully in the future with current or new competitors.

Employees

 

As of December 31, 2017, we employed a total of 31 full time persons, including 6 in sales, marketing and technical support, 21 in research, product development and engineering, and 4 in administration and finance.

 

None of our employees are represented by a labor organization, and we are not a party to any collective bargaining agreement. We have not experienced any work stoppages and consider our relations with our employees to be good.

 

Competition in the recruiting of personnel in the networking and data security industry is intense. We believe that our future success will depend in part on our continued ability to hire, motivate and retain qualified management, sales, marketing, and technical personnel. To date, we have not experienced significant difficulties in attracting or retaining qualified employees.

 

Item 1A. Risk Factors

 

In addition to the other information in this Form 10-K, the following factors should be considered in evaluating Intrusion Inc. and our business.

 

We may not have sufficient cash to operate our business and may not be able to maintain certain liquidity requirements under our existing debt instruments. Additional debt and equity offerings to fund future operations may not be available and, if available, may significantly dilute the value of our currently outstanding common stock.

 

As of December 31, 2017, we had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $224,000, up from approximately $64,000 as of December 31, 2016. We generated a net loss of $30,000 for the year ended December 31, 2017 compared to net loss of $1,552,000 for the year ended December 31, 2016. The net loss in 2017 included other income of 928,000, of which $872,000 came from the sale of certain unusedIP addresses and $56,000 from the sale of an investment. As of February 28, 2018, in addition to cash and cash equivalents, $835,000 of funding is available from a promissory note to borrow up to $3.7 million from G. Ward Paxton, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer. We are obligated to make payments of accrued dividends on all our outstanding shares of preferred stock that will reduce our available cash resources. Based on projections of growth in revenue and net income in the coming quarters, and the borrowings available previously mentioned, we believe that we will have sufficient cash resources to finance our operations and expected capital expenditures through March 31, 2019. We expect to fund our operations through anticipated Company profits, borrowings from the Company’s CEO, and possibly additional investments of private equity and debt, which, if we are able to obtain, could have the effect of diluting our existing common stockholders, perhaps significantly. Any equity or debt financings, if available at all, may be on terms which are not favorable to us and, in the case of equity financings, may result in dilution to our stockholders. If our operations do not generate positive cash flow in the upcoming year, or if we are not able to obtain additional debt or equity financing on terms and conditions acceptable to us, if at all, we may be unable to implement our business plan, fund our liquidity needs or even continue our operations.

 

We had a net loss of $30 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2017 and have an accumulated deficit of $61.5 million as of December 31, 2017. To achieve sustainable profitability, we must generate increased revenue.

 

For the year ended December 31, 2017, we had a net loss of $30 thousand and had an accumulated deficit of approximately $61.5 million as of December 31, 2017, compared to a net loss of $1.55 million and an accumulated deficit of approximately $61.5 million as of December 31, 2016. We need to generate greater revenue from the sales of our products and services if we are to achieve profitability. If we are unable to generate greater revenue, net losses may continue and we may never be able to sustain profitability or generate positive cash flow from operations in the future.

 

If our products do not achieve market acceptance, our revenue growth may suffer.

 

Our security products, advanced persistent threat detection and entity identification products have been in the market place for a limited period of time and may have longer sales cycles than our previous products. Accordingly, we may not achieve the meaningful revenue growth needed to sustain operations. We can provide no assurances that sales of our newer products will grow or generate sufficient revenues to sustain our business. If we are unable to recognize revenues due to longer sales cycles or other problems, our results of operations will be adversely affected, perhaps materially.

 

We have not yet received broad market acceptance for our products. We cannot assure you that our present or future products will achieve market acceptance on a sustained basis. In order to achieve market acceptance and achieve future revenue growth, we must introduce complementary security products, incorporate new technologies into our existing product lines and design, develop and successfully commercialize higher performance products in a timely manner. We cannot assure you that we will be able to offer new or complementary products that gain market acceptance quickly enough to avoid decreased revenues during current or future product introductions or transitions.

 

7

 

 

A large percentage of our revenues are received from U.S. government entities, and the loss of any one of these customers could reduce our revenues and materially harm our business and prospects.

 

A large percentage of our revenues result from sales to U.S. government entities. If we were to lose one or more of these key relationships, our revenues could decline and our business and prospects may be materially harmed. We expect that even if we are successful in developing relationships with non-governmental customers, our revenues will continue to be concentrated among government entities. For the years ended December 31, 2015, 2016 and 2017, sales to U.S. government entities collectively accounted for 54.7%, 69.3% and 81.6% of our total net revenues, respectively. The loss of any of these key relationships may send a negative message to other U.S. government entities or non-governmental customers concerning our product offering. We cannot assure you that U.S. government entities will be customers of ours in future periods or that we will be able to diversify our customer portfolio to adequately mitigate the risk of loss of any of these customers.

 

Government customers involve unique risks, which could adversely impact our revenues.

 

We expect to continue to derive a substantial portion of our revenues from U.S. government customers in the future. Sales to the government present risks in addition to those involved in sales to commercial customers, including potential disruption due to appropriation and spending patterns, delays in approving a federal budget and the government’s right to cancel contracts and purchase orders for its convenience. General political and economic conditions, which we cannot accurately predict, directly and indirectly may affect the quantity and allocation of expenditures by federal departments. In addition, obtaining government contracts may involve long purchase and payment cycles, competitive bidding, qualification requirements, delays or changes in funding, budgetary constraints, political agendas, extensive specification development and price negotiations and milestone requirements. Each government entity also maintains its own rules and regulations with which we must comply and which can vary significantly among departments. As a result, cutbacks or re-allocations in the federal budget or losses of government sales due to other factors could have a material adverse effect on our revenues and operating results.

 

We are highly dependent on sales made through indirect channels, the loss of which would materially adversely affect our operations.

 

For the years ended December 31, 2015, 2016 and 2017, we derived 74.7%, 70.7% and 81.6% of our revenues from sales through indirect sales channels, such as distributors, value-added resellers, system integrators, original equipment manufacturers and managed service providers. We must expand our sales through these indirect channels in order to increase our revenues. We cannot assure you that our products will gain market acceptance in these indirect sales channels or that sales through these indirect sales channels will increase our revenues. Further, many of our competitors are also trying to sell their products through these indirect sales channels, which could result in lower prices and reduced profit margins for sales of our products.

 

The payment of dividends on our preferred stock may strain our cash resources.

 

On March 25, 2004, we completed a $5,000,000 private placement pursuant to which we issued 1,000,000 shares of our 5% Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series 1 Preferred Stock”) and warrants to acquire 556,619 shares of our common stock. The conversion price for the Series 1 Preferred Stock is $3.144 per share. As of February 28, 2018, there were 200,000 shares of the Series 1 Preferred Stock outstanding, representing approximately 318,065 shares of common stock upon conversion.

 

On March 28, 2005, we completed a $2,663,000 private placement pursuant to which we issued 1,065,200 shares of our Series 2 5% Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series 2 Preferred Stock”) and warrants to acquire 532,600 shares of our common stock. The conversion price for the Series 2 Preferred Stock is $2.50 per share. As of February 28, 2018, there were 460,000 shares of the Series 2 Preferred Stock outstanding, representing 460,000 shares of common stock upon conversion.

 

On December 2, 2005, we completed a $1,230,843 private placement pursuant to which we issued 564,607 shares of our Series 3 5% preferred stock (the “Series 3 Preferred Stock”) and warrants to acquire 282,306 shares of our common stock. The conversion price for the Series 3 Preferred Stock is $2.18 per share. As of February 28, 2018, there were 289,377 shares of Series 3 Preferred Stock outstanding, representing 289,377 shares of common stock upon conversion.

If we are unable to pay scheduled dividends on shares of our preferred stock it could potentially result in additional consequences, some of them material.

 

Delaware law provides that we may only pay dividends out of our capital surplus or, if no surplus is available, out of our net profits for the fiscal year the dividend is declared and/or the preceding fiscal year. We currently have dividend payments that are past due because we do not currently have a capital surplus or fiscal year net profits. We cannot assure you that our net assets will exceed our stated capital or that we will have sufficient net profits in order to pay these dividends in the future. These dividends continue to accrue on all our outstanding shares of preferred stock, regardless of whether we are legally able to pay them. If we continue to be unable to pay dividends on our preferred stock, we will be required to accrue an additional late fee penalty of 18% per annum on the unpaid dividends for the Series 2 Preferred Stock and Series 3 Preferred Stock. Our CEO, CFO and one outside board member who are invested in Series 2 and Series 3 Preferred Stock have waived any possible late fee penalties. In addition to this late penalty, the holders of our Series 2 Preferred Stock and Series 3 Preferred Stock could elect to present us with written notice of our failure to pay dividends as scheduled, in which case we would have 45 days to cure such a breach. In the event that we failed to cure the breach, the holders of these shares of preferred stock would then have the right to require us to redeem their shares of preferred stock for a cash amount calculated in accordance with their respective certificates of designation. If we were required to redeem all shares of Series 2 Preferred Stock and Series 3 Preferred Stock as of February 28, 2018, the aggregate redemption price we would owe would be $2.0 million.

 

You will experience substantial dilution upon the conversion or redemption of the shares of preferred stock or in the event we raise additional funds through the issuance of new shares of our common stock or securities convertible or exercisable into shares of common stock.

 

On February 28, 2018, we had 13,011,836 shares of common stock outstanding. Upon conversion of all outstanding shares of preferred stock, we will have 14,080,114 shares of common stock outstanding, approximately an 8.2% increase in the number of shares of our common stock outstanding.

 

In addition, management may issue additional shares of common stock or securities exercisable or convertible into shares of common stock in order to finance our continuing operations. Any future issuances of such securities would have additional dilutive effects on the existing holders of our Common Stock.

 

Further, the occurrence of certain events could entitle holders of our Series 2 Preferred Stock and Series 3 Preferred Stock to require us to redeem their shares for a certain number of shares of our common stock. Assuming (i) we have paid all liquidated damages and other amounts to the holders, (ii) paid all outstanding dividends, (iii) a volume weighted average price of $1.09, which was the ten-day volume weighted average closing price of our common stock on February 23, 2018, and (iv) our 13,011,836 shares of common stock outstanding on February 28, 2018, upon exercise of their redemption right by the holders of the Series 3 Preferred Stock and the Series 2 Preferred Stock, we would be obligated to issue approximately 416,000 shares of our common stock. This would represent an increase of approximately 3.2% in the number of shares of our common stock as of February 28, 2018.

 

The conversion of preferred stock we issued in the private placements may cause the price of our common stock to decline.

 

The holders of the shares of our 5% Preferred Stock may freely convert their shares of preferred stock and sell the underlying shares of common stock pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities and Exchange Commission. As of February 28, 2018, 800,000 shares of our 5% Preferred Stock had converted into 1,272,263 shares of common stock.

 

The holders of the shares of Series 2 5% Preferred Stock may freely convert their shares of preferred stock and sell the underlying shares of common stock pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities and Exchange Commission. As of February 28, 2018, 605,200 shares of Series 2 Preferred Stock had converted into 605,200 shares of common stock.

 

The holders of the shares of Series 3 5% Preferred Stock may freely convert their shares of Series 3 Preferred Stock and sell the underlying shares of common stock pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities and Exchange Commission. As of February 28, 2018, 275,230 shares of Series 3 Preferred Stock had converted into 275,230 shares of common stock.

 

For the four weeks ended on February 23, 2018, the average daily trading volume of our common stock on the OTCQB was 3,165 shares. Consequently, if holders of preferred stock elect to convert their remaining shares and sell a material amount of their underlying shares of common stock on the open market, the increase in selling activity could cause a decline in the market price of our common stock. Furthermore, these sales, or the potential for these sales, could encourage short sales, causing additional downward pressure on the market price of our common stock.

Certain rights of the holders of our preferred stock and the terms of our secured credit line may hinder our ability to raise additional financing.

 

Under the terms of our preferred stock instruments, we cannot issue shares of capital stock with rights senior to those of our existing 5% Preferred Stock, Series 2 5% Preferred Stock or Series 3 5% Preferred Stock without the approval of at least a majority of the holders of our 5% Preferred Stock, all of the holders of our Series 2 5% Preferred Stock, and holders of at least 75% of our Series 3 5% Preferred Stock voting or acting as separate classes. We also cannot incur certain indebtedness without the approval of at least a majority of the holders of each class of our Preferred Stock.

 

You will experience substantial dilution upon the exercise of certain stock options currently outstanding.

 

On February 28, 2018, we had 13,011,836 shares of common stock outstanding. Upon the exercising of current options issued at or below the exercise price of $1.00, we will have approximately 14,179,000 shares of common stock outstanding, an 9.0% increase in the number of shares of our common stock outstanding.

 

We resemble a developmental stage company and our business strategy may not be successful.

 

We depend exclusively on revenues generated from the sale of our network security/advanced persistent threat detection products (Savant), which have received limited market acceptance and our entity identification, data mining and analytic product (TraceCop). We can provide no assurances that our products will ever achieve widespread market acceptance or that an adequate market for these products will ever emerge. Consequently, we resemble a developmental stage company and will face the following inherent risks and uncertainties:

 

 

the need for our entity identification, data mining and advanced persistent threat detection products to achieve market acceptance and produce a sustainable revenue stream;

 

 

our ability to manage costs and expenses;

 

 

our dependence on key personnel;

 

 

our ability to obtain financing on acceptable terms; and

 

 

our ability to offer greater value than our competitors.

 

Our business strategy may not successfully address these risks. If we fail to recognize significant revenues from the sales of our entity identification, data mining and advanced persistent threat detection products, our business, financial condition and operating results would be materially adversely affected.

 

If we fail to respond to rapid technological changes in the network security industry, we may lose customers or our products may become obsolete.

 

The network security industry is characterized by frequent product introductions, rapidly changing technology and continued evolution of new industry standards. We must also introduce upgrades to our products rapidly in response to customer needs such as new computer viruses or other novel external attacks on computer networks. In addition, the nature of the network security industry requires our products to be compatible and interoperable with numerous security products, networking products, workstation and personal computer architectures and computer and network operating systems offered by various vendors, including our competitors. As a result, our success depends upon our ability to develop and introduce in a timely manner new products and enhancements to our existing products that meet changing customer requirements and evolving industry standards. The development of technologically advanced network security products is a complex and uncertain process requiring high levels of innovation, rapid response and accurate anticipation of technological and market trends. We cannot assure you that we will be able to identify, develop, manufacture, market or support new or enhanced products successfully in a timely manner. Further, we or our competitors may introduce new products or product enhancements that shorten the life cycle of our existing products or cause our existing products to become obsolete.

 

We face intense competition from both start-up and established companies that may have significant advantages over us and our products.

 

The market for our products is intensely competitive. There are numerous companies competing with us in various segments of the data security markets, and their products may have advantages over our products in areas such as conformity to existing and emerging industry standards, interoperability with networking and other security products, management and security capabilities, performance, price, ease of use, scalability, reliability, flexibility, product features and technical support.

 

10

 

 

Our principal competitors in the data mining and advanced persistent threat market include Niksun, NetScout, Fireeye (Mandiant) and Palo Alto Networks. Our current and potential competitors may have one or more of the following significant advantages over us:

 

 

greater financial, technical and marketing resources;

 

 

better name recognition;

 

 

more comprehensive security solutions;

 

 

better or more extensive cooperative relationships; and

 

 

larger customer base.

 

We cannot assure you that we will be able to compete successfully with our existing or new competitors. Some of our competitors may have, in relation to us, one or more of the following: longer operating histories, longer-standing relationships with OEM and end-user customers and greater customer service, public relations and other resources. As a result, these competitors may be able to more quickly develop or adapt to new or emerging technologies and changes in customer requirements, or devote greater resources to the development, promotion and sale of their products. Additionally, it is likely that new competitors or alliances among existing competitors could emerge and rapidly acquire significant market share.

 

Our management and larger stockholders exercise significant control over our Company and have the ability to approve or take actions that may be in conflict to your interests.

 

As of February 28, 2018, our executive officers, directors and preferred stockholders beneficially own approximately 31% of our voting power. In addition, other related parties control approximately 27% of our voting power. As a result, these stockholders will be able to exercise significant control over all matters requiring stockholder approval, including the election of directors and approval of significant corporate transactions, which could delay or prevent someone from acquiring or merging with us. These stockholders may use their influence to approve or take actions that may be adverse to the interests of other holders of our Common Stock. Further, we contemplate the possible issuance of shares of our Common Stock or of securities exercisable or convertible into shares of our Common Stock in the future to our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. Any such issuance will increase the percentage of stock our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and our management group beneficially hold.

 

Our products are highly technical and if they contain undetected errors, our business could be adversely affected and we might have to defend lawsuits or pay damages in connection with any alleged or actual failure of our products and services.

 

Our products are highly technical and complex, are critical to the operation of many networks and, in the case of our security products, provide and monitor network security and may protect valuable information. Our products have contained and may contain one or more undetected errors, defects or security vulnerabilities. Some errors in our products may only be discovered after a product has been installed and used by end customers. Any errors or security vulnerabilities discovered in our products after commercial release could result in loss of revenues or delay in revenue recognition, loss of customers and increased service and warranty cost, any of which could adversely affect our business and results of operations. In addition, we could face claims for product liability, tort or breach of warranty. Defending a lawsuit, regardless of its merit, is costly and may divert management’s attention. In addition, if our business liability insurance coverage is inadequate or future coverage is unavailable on acceptable terms or at all, our financial condition could be harmed.

 

A breach of network security could harm public perception of our security products, which could cause us to lose revenues.

 

If an actual or perceived breach of network security occurs in the network of a customer of our security products, regardless of whether the breach is attributable to our products, the market perception of the effectiveness of our products could be harmed. This could cause us to lose current and potential end customers or cause us to lose current and potential value-added resellers and distributors. Because the techniques used by computer hackers to access or sabotage networks change frequently and generally are not recognized until launched against a target, we may be unable to anticipate these techniques.

 

If our products do not interoperate with our customers’ networks, installations will be delayed or cancelled and could harm our business.

 

Our products are designed to interface with our customers’ existing networks, each of which have different specifications and utilize multiple protocol standards and products from other vendors. Many of our customers’ networks contain multiple generations of products that have been added over time as these networks have grown and evolved. Our products will be required to interoperate with many or all of the products within these networks as well as future products in order to meet our customers’ requirements. If we find errors in the existing software or defects in the hardware used in our customers’ networks, we may have to modify our software or hardware to fix or overcome these errors so that our products will interoperate and scale with the existing software and hardware, which could be costly and negatively impact our operating results. In addition, if our products do not interoperate with those of our customers’ networks, demand for our products could be adversely affected, orders for our products could be cancelled or our products could be returned. This could hurt our operating results, damage our reputation and seriously harm our business and prospects.

 

11

 

 

Our products can have long sales and implementation cycles, which may result in us incurring substantial expenses before realizing any associated revenues.

 

The sale and implementation of our products to large companies and government entities typically involves a lengthy education process and a significant technical evaluation and commitment of capital and other resources. This process is also subject to the risk of delays associated with customers’ internal budgeting and other procedures for approving capital expenditures, deploying new technologies within their networks and testing and accepting new technologies that affect key operations. As a result, sales and implementation cycles for our products can be lengthy, and we may expend significant time and resources before we receive any revenues from a customer or potential customer. Our quarterly and annual operating results could be materially harmed if orders forecast for a specific customer and for a particular period are not realized.

 

Consolidation in the network security industry may limit market acceptance of our products.

 

Several of our competitors have acquired security companies with complementary technologies in the past. We expect consolidation in the network security industry to continue in the future. These acquisitions may permit our competitors to accelerate the development and commercialization of broader product lines and more comprehensive solutions than we currently offer. Acquisitions of vendors or other companies with which we have a strategic relationship by our competitors may limit our access to commercially significant technologies. Further, business combinations in the network security industry are creating companies with larger market shares, customer bases, sales forces, product offerings and technology and marketing expertise, which may make it more difficult for us to compete.

 

We must adequately protect our intellectual property in order to prevent loss of valuable proprietary information.

 

We rely primarily on a combination of patent, copyright, trademark and trade secret laws, confidentiality procedures and non-disclosure agreements to protect our proprietary technology. However, unauthorized parties may attempt to copy or reverse-engineer aspects of our products or to obtain and use information that we regard as proprietary. Policing unauthorized use of our products is difficult, and we cannot be certain that the steps we have taken will prevent misappropriation of our intellectual property. This is particularly true in foreign countries where the laws may not protect proprietary rights to the same extent as the laws of the United States and may not provide us with an effective remedy against unauthorized use. If our protection of our intellectual property proves to be inadequate or unenforceable, others may be able to use our proprietary developments without compensation to us, resulting in potential cost advantages to our competitors.

 

We may incur substantial expenses defending ourselves against claims of infringement.

 

There are numerous patents held by many companies relating to the design and manufacture of network security systems. Third parties may claim that our products infringe on their intellectual property rights. Any claim, with or without merit, could consume our management’s time, result in costly litigation, cause delays in sales or implementations of our products or require us to enter into royalty or licensing agreements. Royalty and licensing agreements, if required and available, may be on terms unacceptable to us or detrimental to our business. Moreover, a successful claim of product infringement against us or our failure or inability to license the infringed or similar technology on commercially reasonable terms could seriously harm our business.

 

Fluctuations in our quarterly revenues may cause the price of our common stock to decline.

 

Our operating results have varied significantly from quarter to quarter in the past, and we expect our operating results to vary from quarter to quarter in the future due to a variety of factors, many of which are outside of our control. Significant portions of our expenses are not variable in the short term and we cannot reduce them quickly to respond to unexpected decreases in revenues. Therefore, if revenues are below our expectations, this shortfall is likely to adversely and disproportionately affect our operating results. Accordingly, we may not attain positive operating margins in future quarters. Any of these factors could cause our operating results to be below the expectations of securities analysts and investors, which likely would negatively affect the price of our common stock.

 

12

 

 

The price of our common stock has been volatile in the past and may continue to be volatile in the future due to factors outside of our control.

 

The market price of our common stock has been highly volatile in the past and may continue to be volatile in the future. For example, in fiscal year 2017, the market price of our common stock on the OTCQB Marketplace (“OTCQB”) fluctuated between $0.19 and $1.35 per share. The market price of our common stock may fluctuate significantly in the future in response to a number of factors, many of which are outside our control, including:

 

 

variations in our quarterly operating results;

 

 

changes in estimates of our financial performance by securities analysts;

 

 

changes in market valuations of our competitors;

 

 

thinly traded common stock;

 

 

announcements by us or our competitors of new products, significant contracts, acquisitions, strategic relationships, joint ventures or capital commitments;

 

 

product or design flaws, product recalls or similar occurrences;

 

 

additions or departures of key personnel;

 

 

sales of common stock in the future; and

 

 

fluctuations in stock market prices and volume, which are relatively typical for high technology companies.

 

Our acquisition of complementary products or businesses may adversely affect our financial condition.

 

We have made acquisitions in the past and, in the future we may acquire or invest in additional companies, business units, product lines or technologies to accelerate the development of products and sales channels complementary to our existing products and sales channels. Negotiation of potential acquisitions and integration of acquired products, technologies or businesses could divert our management’s time and resources. Future acquisitions could cause us to issue equity securities that would dilute your ownership of us, incur debt or contingent liabilities, amortize intangible assets or write off in-process research and development, goodwill and other acquisition-related expenses that could seriously harm our financial condition and operating results. Further, if we are not able to properly integrate acquired products, technologies or businesses with our existing products and operations, train, retain and motivate personnel from the acquired business or combine potentially different corporate cultures, we may not receive the intended benefits of our acquisitions, which could adversely affect our business, operating results and financial condition.

 

Compliance with export regulations may hinder our sales to foreign customers.

 

Certain of our data security products incorporate encryption and other technology that may require clearance and export licenses from the U.S. Department of Commerce under United States export regulations. Any inability to obtain these clearances or licenses or any foreign regulatory approvals, if required, on a timely basis could delay sales and have a material adverse effect on our operating results.

 

Item 2.

Properties.

 

Our headquarters are located in a two-story building in Richardson, Texas. We occupy approximately 23,000 square feet of floor space in this facility. This facility houses our corporate administration, operations, marketing, research and development, engineering, sales and technical support personnel. The lease for this facility extends through April 2021.

 

Approximately thirty percent of our security software research and development and engineering staff are located in two separate small facilities in San Diego, California. The leases for these facilities are currently set to expire in March 2019.

 

13

 

 

We believe that the existing facilities at December 31, 2017, will be adequate to meet our operational requirements through 2018. We believe that all such facilities are adequately covered by appropriate property insurance. See Note 4 to our Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding our obligations under leases.

 

Item 3.

Legal Proceedings.

 

We are subject to legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of business. We do not believe that any claims exist where the outcome of such matters would have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, operating results or cash flows. However, there can be no assurance such legal proceedings will not have a material impact on future results.

We have not declared or paid cash dividends on our common stock in our two most recent fiscal years. We intend to retain any earnings for use in our business and do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future. Future dividends on common stock, if any, will be determined by our Board of Directors. However, shares of our 5% convertible preferred stock accrue cash dividends equal to $0.25 per share per annum, payable in arrears on March 31 and September 30 of each year, and shares of our Series 2 5% and Series 3 5% convertible preferred stock accrue cash dividends equal to $0.125 and $0.109 per share per annum, respectively, payable in arrears on the first business day of March, June, September and December of each year. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017, we accrued $50,000 in dividends to the holders of our 5% Preferred Stock, $57,000 in dividends to the holders of our Series 2 5% Preferred Stock and $32,000 in dividends to the holders of our Series 3 5% Preferred Stock. Delaware law provides that we may only pay dividends out of our capital surplus or, if no surplus is available, out of our net profits for the fiscal year the dividend is declared and/or the preceding fiscal year.

 

All stock option plans under which our common stock is reserved for issuance have previously been approved by our stockholders.

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

 

Safe Harbor” Statement under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995

 

This Annual Report on Form 10-K, including the sections entitled “Risk Factors,” “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” and “Description of Business,” contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 . These statements relate to future events or to our future financial performance, and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, levels of activity, performance, or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by the use of words such as “may,” “could,” “expect,” “intend,” “plan,” “seek,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “predict,” “potential,” “continue,” or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. You should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements since they involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which are, in some cases, beyond our control and which could materially affect actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements. Factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from current expectations, which we describe in more detail elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K under the heading “Risk Factors,” include, but are not limited to:

 

 

failure to respond to rapid technological changes in the network security industry;

 

 

failure of our regulated information compliance, and entity identification products to achieve market acceptance;

 

 

our status as a developmental stage company;

 

 

our need to generate substantially greater revenues from sales in order to achieve profitability;

 

 

intense competition from both start-up and established companies that may have significant advantages over us and our products;

 

 

disruption to our business due to military actions;

 

 

long sales and implementation cycles of our products;

 

 

insufficient cash to operate our business;

 

 

the effect of consolidation in the network security industry;

 

 

risks involved with Government customers;

 

 

our inability to expand our sales;

 

 

failure to adequately protect our intellectual property; or

 

 

the rights of the holders of our preferred stock and the terms of our secured credit line.

 

If one or more of these or other risks or uncertainties materialize, or if our underlying assumptions prove to be incorrect, actual results may vary significantly from what we projected. Any forward-looking statement you read in this filing reflects our current views with respect to future events and is subject to these and other risks, uncertainties and assumptions relating to our operations, results of operations, growth strategy and liquidity. We assume no obligation to publicly update or revise these forward-looking statements for any reason, or to update the reasons actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements, even if new information becomes available in the future.

 

Overview

 

We develop, market and support a family of entity identification products, data mining and advanced persistent threat detection products. Our product families include:

 

 

TraceCop for identity identification; and

 

 

Savant for data mining and analytics/advanced persistent threat detection.

 

Intrusion’s products help protect critical information assets by quickly detecting, protecting, analyzing and reporting attacks or misuse of classified and private data for government and enterprise networks.

 

Our revenues have been fairly consistent over the past few years due primarily to our focus on our TraceCop and Savant product lines. To date, we have not encountered significant competition in the TraceCop and Savant markets that has caused us to decrease our sales prices when compared to sales prices in previous years. To help keep our operation expenses under control, we held our employee headcount at a reasonable level in 2017 compared to 2016. At December 31, 2016, we employed 32 full time persons and at December 31, 2017, we employed 31 full time persons. Our margins for direct labor only were comparable at 64.2% in 2016, and 64.0% in 2017.

 

16

 

 

In order for us to operate and grow our business, we must generate and sustain sufficient operating profits and cash flow in future periods. This will require us to generate additional revenues from sales of our entity identification software, data mining and advanced persistent threat products. In order to obtain these sales, our products must gain acceptance in a competitive industry. We believe our ability to market and sell our TraceCop and Savant products into the marketplace in a timely manner and our efforts to effectively control spending levels will help us achieve these results.

 

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to product returns, bad debts, inventories, income taxes, warranty obligations, maintenance contracts and contingencies. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

 

We believe the following critical accounting policies affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

We generally recognize product revenue upon shipment. These products can include hardware, perpetual software licenses and data sets. Data set updates are the majority of our sales. We do not currently offer software on a subscription basis. Warranty costs and sales returns have not been material.

 

We recognize sales of our data sets in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 606 whereby revenue from contracts with customers is not recognized until all five of the following have been met:

 

 

i)

identify the contract with a customer;

 

ii)

identify the performance obligations in the contract;

 

iii)

determine the transaction price;

 

iv)

allocate the transaction price to the separate performance obligations; and

 

v)

recognize revenue upon satisfaction of a performance obligation.

 

Data updates are typically done monthly and revenue will be matched accordingly. Product sales may include maintenance and customer support allocated revenue in an arrangement using estimated selling prices of the delivered goods and services based on a selling price hierarchy using the relative selling price method. All of our product offering and service offering market values are readily determined based on current and prior stand-alone sales. We may defer and recognize maintenance, updates and support revenue over the term of the contract period, which is generally one year.

 

Service revenue, primarily including maintenance, training and installation, are recognized upon delivery of the service and typically are unrelated to product sales. To date, training and installation revenue has not been material. These revenues are included in net customer support and maintenance revenues in the statement of operations.

 

Our normal payment terms offered to customers, distributors and resellers are net 30 days domestically and net 45 days internationally. We do not offer payment terms that extend beyond one year and rarely do we extend payment terms beyond our normal terms. If certain customers do not meet our credit standards, we do require payment in advance to limit our credit exposure.

 

Shipping and handling costs are billed to the customer and included in product revenue. Shipping and handling expenses are included in cost of product revenue.

 

17

 

 

Allowances for Doubtful Accounts

 

We maintain allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of our customers to make required payments. Our receivables are uncollaterized, and we expect to continue this policy in the future. If the financial condition of our customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, increased allowances may be required. Historically, our estimates for sales returns and doubtful accounts have not differed materially from actual results.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

We calculate the fair value of our assets and liabilities which qualify as financial instruments and include additional information in the notes to consolidated financial statements when the fair value is different than the carrying value of these financial instruments. The estimated fair value of accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses, and dividends payable approximate their carrying amounts due to the relatively short maturity of these instruments. Loan payable to officer are with a related party and as a result do not bear market rates of interest. Capital leases approximate fair value as they bear market rates of interest. Management believes based on its current financial position that it could not obtain comparable amounts of third party financing, and as such cannot estimate the fair value of the loans payable to officer. None of these instruments are held for trading purposes.

Total revenue increased 12.5% to $6.9 million in 2017 from $6.1 million in 2016. The increase in revenue was related to growth in our TraceCop product line. We expect our product revenues to increase in the future as the market acceptance of our TraceCop and Savant product lines increase.

 

There were no export sales in 2017 and 2016 primarily due to our focus on domestic revenue sales. Sales of our products internationally may be subject to currency exchange risk, which may cause our products to effectively increase in price, if the exchange rate moves significantly and the dollar gains value over the foreign currency.

 

Historically, due to the timing of our sales cycle, a significant portion of our monthly sales occurs in the second half of the month. Accordingly, our receivables increase at the end of each month, which causes a higher accounts receivable balance at month end. This monthly trend also causes an inflated comparative relationship between revenue and accounts receivable. We believe that this monthly trend will continue because monthly sales forecast and planning meetings are held in the first week of every month, the middle of the month is focused on sales calls to customers and the latter half of the month on closing sales.

Gross Profit

 

Gross profit increased 3.0% to $4.0 million in 2017 from $3.9 million in 2016. As a percentage of net revenue, gross profit decreased from 64.2% in 2016 to 58.8% in 2017. Gross profit as a percentage of revenue, decreased in 2017 compared to 2016 because of higher average labor expenses related to new projects.

 

Gross profit as a percentage of net revenue is impacted by several factors, including shifts in product mix, changes in channels of distribution, sales volume, fluctuations in manufacturing costs, labor costs, pricing strategies, and fluctuations in sales of integrated third-party products.

 

Sales and Marketing

 

Sales and marketing expenses decreased to $1.5 million or 22.3% of net revenue in 2017, compared to $1.6 million or 26.8% of net revenue in 2016. The decrease in sales and marketing expense was due to a decrease in sales labor expense. We expect sales and marketing expenses to increase as net revenue levels increase in 2018.

 

Research and Development

 

Research and development expenses decreased to $2.2 million or 31.5% of net revenue in 2017 compared to $2.5 million or 41.0% of net revenue in 2016. The decrease in research and development expense was due to labor expense shifted to direct labor costs on new projects. Our research and development costs are expensed in the period in which they are incurred. We expect research and development expenses to increase as net revenue levels increase in 2018.

 

General and Administrative

 

General and administrative expenses decreased slightly to $1.1 million, or 15.9% of net revenue in 2017 compared to $1.2 million or 19.5% of net revenue in 2016 as a result of continuing efforts to keep spending under control. We expect general and administration expenses to remain fairly constant but increase as net revenue levels increase in 2018.

 

Interest Expense

 

Interest expense increased to $209 thousand in 2017, compared to $145 thousand in 2016. Interest expense increased due to increased amount of Loan Payable to Officer. Interest expense will vary in the future based on our cash flow and borrowing needs.

 

Other Income

 

On July 7, 2017, the Company entered into a sale of certain IP addresses that were not currently being used in the Company's business operations and were not required for the Company's future business plans. The net proceeds from the sale of these intellectual property assets were in the amount of $872,000 which the Company received on August 9, 2017. In addition, $56,000 was received on August 3, 2017, from the sale of an investment.

 

Income Taxes

 

Our effective income tax rate was 0% in 2017 and 2016 as valuation allowances have been recorded for the entire amount of the net deferred tax assets due to uncertainty of realization. On December 22, 2017, the U.S. enacted the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“the Tax Act”) which significantly changed U.S. tax law.  The Tax Act lowered the Company’s statutory federal income tax rate from a maximum of 39% to a rate of 21% effective January 1, 2018.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Our principal source of liquidity at December 31, 2017 was $0.2 million of cash and cash equivalents. As of December 31, 2017, we do not hold investments with a stated maturity beyond one year. Working capital at December 31, 2017, was a deficiency of $0.8 million, while at December 31, 2016, it was the same at $0.8 million.

Net cash provided by operations for the twelve months ended December 31, 2017, was $272 thousand due to the following sources of cash and non-cash items: a $291 thousand increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses, a $30 thousand decrease in inventories, an $11 thousand increase in deferred revenue, $69 thousand in depreciation expense, $137 thousand in amortization expense of capital leases and other assets, $18 thousand in stock-based compensation, and $33 thousand in waived penalties on dividends. This was partially offset by a net operating loss of $30 thousand (The net loss in 2017 included other income of 928,000, of which $872,000 came from the sale of certain unused IP addresses and $56,000 from the sale of an investment.), a $217 thousand increase in accounts receivable, $56 thousand gain on sale of investment, and a $14 thousand increase in prepaid expenses and other assets. Net cash used in operations for the twelve months ended December 31, 2016, was $1.243 million due to a net loss of $1.552 million and the following uses of cash: a $165 thousand increase in accounts receivable and a $6 thousand increase in prepaid expenses and other assets. This was partially offset by the following sources of cash and non-cash items: $9 thousand increase in deferred revenue, $60 thousand increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses, $93 thousand in depreciation expense, $201 thousand in amortization expense of capital leases and other assets, $96 thousand in stock-based compensation, and $20 thousand in waived penalties on dividends. Future fluctuations in accounts receivable, inventory balances and accounts payable will be dependent upon several factors, including quarterly sales, timely collection of accounts receivable, and the accuracy of our forecasts of product demand and component requirements.

 

Net cash provided by investing activities in 2017 was $36 thousand primarily from the proceeds from the sale of investments of $56 thousand and offset by using $20 thousand for purchases of property and equipment. Net cash used in investing activities in 2016 was $47 thousand for purchases of property and equipment.

 

Net cash used by financing activities in 2017 was $0.1 million primarily due to payments on the loan by an officer of $1.89 million with a $139 thousand payment on principal on capital leases. This was directly offset by the following provisions of cash: proceeds from a loan by an officer of $1.87 million and $11 thousand from the exercise of stock options. Net cash provided by financing activities in 2016 was $1.252 million primarily due to proceeds from a loan by an officer of $1.355 million. Other provisions were proceeds from the line-of-credit of $364 thousand and $100 thousand from the exercise of stock options. This was directly offset by the following uses of cash: $364 thousand in payments to the line-of-credit and $202 thousand payment on principal on capital leases.

 

At December 31, 2017, we had a commitment of $62 thousand for future capital lease expenditures. Operating lease commitments of $1.0 million are detailed in the Contractual Obligations section below. During 2017, we funded our operations through the use of available cash, cash equivalents and investments, our line of credit and loans from our Company’s CEO.

 

As of December 31, 2017, we had cash, cash equivalents, and investments in the amount of approximately $224 thousand, increasing from $64 thousand as of December 31, 2016.

 

On February 4, 2016, the Company entered into an unsecured revolving promissory note to borrow up to $2,200,000 from G. Ward Paxton, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (the “CEO Note”). Under the terms of the CEO Note, the Company may borrow, repay and reborrow on the loan as needed up to an outstanding principal balance due of $2,200,000 at any given time through March 2018.

 

On September 30, 2016, the Company renewed the CEO Note on the same terms, with the Company being able to borrow, repay and reborrow on the CEO Note as needed up to an outstanding principal balance due of $2,700,000 at any given time through March 2018.

 

On February 9, 2017, the Company renewed the CEO Note on the same terms, with the Company being able to borrow, repay and reborrow on the CEO Note as needed up to an outstanding principal balance due of $3,400,000 at any given time through March 2019.

 

On March 2, 2017, the Company amended the CEO Note described above on the same terms, with the Company being able to borrow, repay, and re-borrow on the note as needed up to an outstanding principal balance due of $3,700,000 at any given time through March 2019.

 

On February 8, 2018, the Company amended the unsecured revolving promissory note to borrow up to $3,700,000 from G. Ward Paxton, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer. Under the terms of the note, the Company may borrow, repay and reborrow on the loan as needed up to an outstanding principal balance due of $3,700,000 at any given time through March 2020.

 

Amounts borrowed under the CEO Note officer accrue interest at a floating rate per annum equal to Silicon Valley Bank’s (“SVB”) prime rate plus 1% (5.5% at Deceember 31, 2017). All outstanding borrowings and accrued but unpaid interest is due on March 31, 2020. As of December 31, 2017, the borrowings outstanding totaled $2,865,000 and accrued interest totaled $348,000.

 

20

 

 

On March 29, 2006, we entered into a Loan and Security Agreement with Silicon Valley Bank (“SVB”) to establish a $1.0 million line of credit (the “2006 Credit Line”). The Loan was renewed annually until 2016.On June 21, 2016, the Loan Agreement terminated. Due to increasing fees associated with the Line of Credit, we chose not to renew the loan agreement on the termination date. We replaced the line with an increased commitment under the CEO Note.

 

As of December 31, 2017, we had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $224,000, up from approximately $64,000 as of December 31, 2016. We generated a net loss of $30,000 for the year ended December 31, 2017 compared to net loss of $1,552,000 for the year ended December 31, 2016. The net loss in 2017 included other income of 928,000, of which $872,000 came from the sale of certain unused IP addresses and $56,000 from the sale of an investment. As of February 28, 2018, in addition to cash and cash equivalents, $835,000 of funding is available from a promissory note to borrow up to $3.7 million from G. Ward Paxton, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer. We are obligated to make payments of accrued dividends on all our outstanding shares of preferred stock that will reduce our available cash resources. Based on projections of growth in revenue and net income in the coming quarters, and the borrowings available previously mentioned, we believe that we will have sufficient cash resources to finance our operations and expected capital expenditures through March 31, 2019. We expect to fund our operations through anticipated Company profits, borrowings from the Company’s CEO, and possibly additional investments of private equity and debt, which, if we are able to obtain, could have the effect of diluting our existing common stockholders, perhaps significantly. Any equity or debt financings, if available at all, may be on terms which are not favorable to us and, in the case of equity financings, may result in dilution to our stockholders. If our operations do not generate positive cash flow in the upcoming year, or if we are not able to obtain additional debt or equity financing on terms and conditions acceptable to us, if at all, we may be unable to implement our business plan, fund our liquidity needs or even continue our operations.

 

We may explore the possible acquisitions of businesses, products and technologies that are complementary to our existing business. We are continuing to identify and prioritize additional security technologies, which we may wish to develop, either internally or through the licensing, or acquisition of products from third parties. While we may engage from time to time in discussions with respect to potential acquisitions, there can be no assurances that any such acquisitions will be made or that we will be able to successfully integrate any acquired business. In order to finance such acquisitions and working capital it may be necessary for us to raise additional funds through public or private financings. Any equity or debt financings, if available at all, may be on terms, which are not favorable to us and, in the case of equity financings, may result in dilution to our stockholders.

Item 9A.

Controls and Procedures

 

Evaluation of Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

The Company’s management, under the supervision and with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Based on this evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

Management Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of the Company’s financial reporting and the preparation of consolidated financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

 

The Company’s management, under the supervision and with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on criteria established in 2013 Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Management’s evaluation included an assessment of elements such as the design and operating effectiveness of key financial reporting controls, process documentation, accounting policies, and the Company’s overall control environment. Based on its evaluation, management concluded that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was effective as of the year ended December 31, 2017 to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of the Company’s financial reporting and the preparation of consolidated financial statements for external reporting purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The Company reviewed the results of management’s assessment with the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors.

 

This Annual Report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the Company to provide only management’s report in this Annual Report. This report shall not be deemed to be filed for purposes of Section 18 of the Exchange Act or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, and is not incorporated by reference into any filing of the Company, whether made before or after the date hereof, regardless of any general incorporation language in such filing.

 

Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls

 

The Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that the Company’s disclosure controls or internal control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system’s objectives will be met. 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. Further, because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected. The design of any system of controls is based in part on 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. Projections of any evaluation of the effectiveness of controls to future periods are subject to risks. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with policies or procedures.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

During the quarter ended December 31, 2017, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

INTRUSION INC.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

 

 

Board of Directors and Shareholders

Intrusion Inc.

 

 

Opinion on the Financial Statements

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Intrusion Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

Basis for Opinion

 

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

 

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

We have served as the Company's auditor since 2009.

INTRUSION INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

 

1. Description of Business

 

We develop, market, and support a family of entity identification, data mining, regulated information compliance and data privacy protection. Our product families include: TraceCop for identity identification, Savant for data mining and advanced persistent threat detection and Compliance Commander for regulated information and data privacy protection. Intrusion’s products help protect critical information assets by quickly detecting, protecting, analyzing and reporting attacks or misuse of classified, private and regulated information for government and enterprise networks.

 

We market and distribute our products through a direct sales force to end-users, distributors and numerous system integrators, managed service providers and value-added resellers. Our end-user customers include banks, credit unions, other financial institutions, U.S. federal government entities, foreign government entities, hospitals and other healthcare providers. Essentially, our end-users can be defined as end-users requiring network security solutions for protecting their mission critical data.

 

References to the “Company”, “we”, “us”, “our”, “Intrusion” or “Intrusion Inc.” refer to Intrusion Inc. and its subsidiaries. Compliance Commander™ and TraceCop™ are registered trademarks of Intrusion Inc.

 

As of December 31, 2017, we had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $224,000, up from approximately $64,000 as of December 31, 2016. We generated a net loss of $30,000 for the year ended December 31, 2017 compared to net loss of $1,552,000 for the year ended December 31, 2016. The net loss in 2017 included other income of 928,000, of which $872,000 came from the sale of certain unused IP addresses and $56,000 from the sale of an investment. As of February 28, 2018, in addition to cash and cash equivalents, $835,000 of funding is available from a promissory note to borrow up to $3.7 million from G. Ward Paxton, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer. We are obligated to make payments of accrued dividends on all our outstanding shares of preferred stock that will reduce our available cash resources. Based on projections of growth in revenue and net income in the coming quarters, and the borrowings available previously mentioned, we believe that we will have sufficient cash resources to finance our operations and expected capital expenditures through March 31, 2019. We expect to fund our operations through anticipated Company profits, borrowings from the Company’s CEO, and possibly additional investments of private equity and debt, which, if we are able to obtain, will have the effect of diluting our existing common stockholders, perhaps significantly. Any equity or debt financings, if available at all, may be on terms which are not favorable to us and, in the case of equity financings, may result in dilution to our stockholders. If our operations do not generate positive cash flow in the upcoming year, or if we are not able to obtain additional debt or equity financing on terms and conditions acceptable to us, if at all, we may be unable to implement our business plan, fund our liquidity needs or even continue our operations.

 

 

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

Our consolidated financial statements include our accounts and those of our wholly owned subsidiaries. Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

Cash and all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of less than three months are considered to be cash and cash equivalents.

 

Risk Concentration

 

Financial instruments, which potentially subject us to concentrations of credit risk, are primarily cash and cash equivalents, investments and accounts receivable. Cash and cash equivalent deposits are at risk to the extent that they exceed Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insured amounts. To minimize risk, we place our investments in U.S. government obligations, corporate securities and money market funds. Substantially all of our cash, cash equivalents and investments are maintained with two major U.S. financial institutions. We do not believe that we are subject to any unusual financial risk with our banking arrangements. We have not experienced any significant losses on our cash and cash equivalents.

 

We sell our products to customers in diversified industries worldwide and periodically have receivables from customers, primarily in North America, Europe and Asia. Fluctuations in currency exchange rates and adverse economic developments in foreign countries could adversely affect the Company’s operating results. We perform ongoing credit evaluations of our customers’ financial condition and generally require no collateral. We maintain reserves for potential credit losses, and such losses, in the aggregate, have historically been minimal.

 

F-6

 

 

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

 

Trade accounts receivable are stated at the amount we expect to collect. We maintain allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of our customers to make required payments. Management considers the following factors when determining the collectability of specific customer accounts: customer credit-worthiness, past transaction history with the customer, current economic industry trends, and changes in customer payment terms. If the financial condition of our customers were to deteriorate, adversely affecting their ability to make payments, additional allowances would be required. Based on management’s assessment, we provide for estimated uncollectible amounts through a charge to earnings and an increase to a valuation allowance. Balances that remain outstanding after we have used reasonable collection efforts are written off through a charge to the valuation allowance. There was no allowance at December 31, 2017 and 2016.

 

Inventories

 

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. We value our inventories using average cost, which approximates actual cost on a first-in, first-out basis. Our management estimates the allowance required to state inventory at the lower of cost or net realizable value. There is a risk that we will forecast demand for our products and market conditions incorrectly and maintain excess inventories. Therefore, there can be no assurance that we will not maintain excess inventory and incur inventory lower of cost or net realizable value charges in the future. All inventory on hand at December 31, 2017 and 2016 is finished goods inventory.

 

Property and Equipment

 

Equipment and furniture and fixtures are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and depreciated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Such lives vary from 1 to 5 years. Leasehold improvements are stated at cost less accumulated amortization and are amortized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of estimated useful lives of the assets or the remaining terms of the leases. Such lives vary from 2 to 5 years. Expenditures for major renewals and betterments that extend the useful lives of property and equipment are capitalized. Repair and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred. Depreciation and amortization expense totaled approximately $206,000 and $291,000 for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

 

Long-Lived Assets

 

We review long-lived assets, including property and equipment for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future undiscounted cash flows to be generated by the asset. If the carrying value exceeds the future undiscounted cash flows, the assets are written down to fair value. During the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, there was no impairment of long-lived assets.

 

Foreign Currency

 

All assets and liabilities in the balance sheets of foreign subsidiaries whose functional currency is other than the U.S. dollar are translated at year-end exchange rates. All revenues and expenses in the statement of operations of these foreign subsidiaries are translated at average exchange rates for the year. Translation gains and losses are not included in determining net income but are shown in accumulated other comprehensive loss in the stockholders’ deficit section of the consolidated balance sheet. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses are included in determining net loss and were not significant.

 

Accounting for Stock Options

 

We account for stock options using the guidance in Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification (“FASB ASC”) Topic 718. FASB ASC Topic 718 requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the financial statements based on their fair values.

 

Stock-based compensation expense recognized in the statements of operations for the years ended 2017 and 2016 is based on awards ultimately expected to vest, reduced by estimated forfeitures. FASB ASC Topic 718 requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates.

 

F-7

 

 

Valuation Assumptions

 

The fair values of option awards were estimated at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions for fiscal years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively:

 

   

2017

   

2016

 
                 

Weighted average grant date fair value

  $ 0.26     $ 0.28  

Weighted average assumptions used:

               

Expected dividend yield

    0.00

%

    0.00

%

Risk-free interest rate

    1.77

%

    1.64

%

Expected volatility

    75.46

%

    110.24

%

Expected life (in years)

    5.00       5.00  

 

Expected volatility is based on historical volatility and in part on implied volatility. The expected term considers the contractual term of the option as well as historical exercise and forfeiture behavior. The risk-free interest rate is based on the rates in effect on the grant date for U.S. Treasury instruments with maturities matching the relevant expected term of the award.

 

Net Loss Per Share

 

We report two separate net loss per share numbers, basic and diluted. Basic net loss attributable to common stockholders per share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to common stockholders for the year by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the year. Diluted net loss attributable to common stockholders per share is computed by dividing the net loss attributable to common stockholders for the year by the weighted average number of common shares and dilutive common stock equivalents outstanding for the year. Our common stock equivalents include all common stock issuable upon conversion of convertible preferred stock and the exercise of outstanding options. Common stock equivalents are included in the diluted loss per share for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 except in cases where the issuance would be anti-dilutive. The aggregate number of common stock equivalents excluded from the diluted loss per share calculation at December 31, 2017 and 2016 totaled 2,941,861 and 3,509,241, respectively.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

We generally recognize product revenue upon shipment. These products can include hardware, perpetual software licenses and data sets. Data set updates are the majority of our sales. We do not currently offer software on a subscription basis. Warranty costs and sales returns have not been material.

 

We recognize sales of our data sets in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 606 whereby revenue from contracts with customers is not recognized until all five of the following have been met:

 

 

i)

identify the contract with a customer;

 

ii)

identify the performance obligations in the contract;

 

iii)

determine the transaction price;

 

iv)

allocate the transaction price to the separate performance obligations; and

 

v)

recognize revenue upon satisfaction of a performance obligation.

 

Data updates are typically done monthly and revenue will be matched accordingly. Product sales may include maintenance and customer support allocated revenue in an arrangement using estimated selling prices of the delivered goods and services based on a selling price hierarchy using the relative selling price method. All of our product offering and service offering market values are readily determined based on current and prior stand-alone sales. We may defer and recognize maintenance, updates and support revenue over the term of the contract period, which is generally one year.

 

Service revenue, primarily including maintenance, training and installation are recognized upon delivery of the service and typically are unrelated to product sales. To date, training and installation revenue has not been material. These revenues are included in net customer support and maintenance revenues in the statement of operations.

 

Our normal payment terms offered to customers, distributors and resellers are net 30 days domestically and net 45 days internationally. We do not offer payment terms that extend beyond one year and rarely do we extend payment terms beyond our normal terms. If certain customers do not meet our credit standards, we do require payment in advance to limit our credit exposure.

 

F-8

 

 

Shipping and handling costs are billed to the customer and included in product revenue. Shipping and handling expenses are included in cost of product revenue.

 

Research and Development Costs

 

We incur research and development costs that relate primarily to the development of new security software, appliances and integrated solutions, and major enhancements to existing services and products. Research and development costs are comprised primarily of salaries and related benefits expenses, contract labor and prototype and other related expenses.

 

Software development costs are included in research and development and are expensed as incurred. FASB ASC Topic 350 Intangibles—Goodwill and Other requires that software development costs incurred subsequent to reaching technological feasibility be capitalized, if material. If the process of developing a new product or major enhancement does not include a detailed program design, technological feasibility is determined only after completion of a working model. To date, the period between achieving technological feasibility and the general availability of such software has been short, and the software development costs qualifying for capitalization have been insignificant.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Estimates are used for, but not limited to, the accounting for doubtful accounts, sales discounts, sales returns, revenue recognition, warranty costs, inventory obsolescence, depreciation and income taxes. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

We calculate the fair value of our assets and liabilities which qualify as financial instruments and include additional information in the notes to consolidated financial statements when the fair value is different than the carrying value of these financial instruments. The estimated fair value of accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses, and dividends payable approximate their carrying amounts due to the relatively short maturity of these instruments. Loans payable to officer are with a related party and as a result do not bear market rates of interest.  Capital leases approximate fair value as they bear market rates of interest. Management believes based on its current financial position that it could not obtain comparable amounts of third party financing, and as such cannot estimate the fair value of the loans payable to officer. None of these instruments are held for trading purposes.

 

Income Taxes

 

Deferred income taxes are determined using the liability method in accordance with FASB ASC 740, Accounting for Income Taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the 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 apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. In addition, a valuation allowance is established to reduce any deferred tax asset for which it is determined that it is more likely than not that some portion of the deferred tax asset will not be realized.

 

FASB ASC 740 creates a single model to address accounting for uncertainty in tax positions by prescribing a minimum recognition threshold that a tax position is required to meet before being recognized in the financial statements. FASB ASC 740 also provides guidance on derecognition, measurement, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. There are no unrecognized tax benefits to disclose in the notes to the consolidated financial statements.

 

We file income tax returns in the United States federal jurisdiction. At December 31, 2017, tax returns related to fiscal years ended December 31, 2014 through December 31, 2016 remain open to possible examination by the tax authorities. No tax returns are currently under examination by any tax authorities. We did not incur any penalties or interest during the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016.   On December 22, 2017, the U.S. enacted the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“the Tax Act”) which significantly changed U.S. tax law.  The Tax Act lowered the Company’s statutory federal income tax rate from a maximum of 39% to a rate of 21% effective January 1, 2018.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

Revenue Recognition

 

In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (ASU 2014-09), which supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance under U.S. GAAP. The core principle of ASU 2014-09 is to recognize revenues when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 defines a five step process to achieve this core principle and, in doing so, more judgment and estimates may be required within the revenue recognition process than are required under existing U.S. GAAP. The standard is effective for us beginning 2018. We will be using the following transition method:  a modified retrospective approach with the cumulative effect of initially adopting ASU 2014-09 recognized at the date of adoption (which includes additional footnote disclosures). We do not believe the adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on our financial statements.

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (ASU 2016-02), which generally requires companies to recognize operating and financing lease liabilities and corresponding right-of-use assets on the balance sheet. This guidance will be effective for us in the first quarter of 2019 on a modified retrospective basis and early adoption is permitted. We do not believe the adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Leases

 

We lease office space for our corporate headquarters in Richardson, Texas under an operating lease, the base term of which expires in April 2021. We lease office space in San Diego and San Marcos, California for a portion of our security software research and development staff under two separate operating leases. The California leases normally renew for one to two year terms.

 

The Company’s lease for the headquarters facility contains escalation provisions. The Company records rent expense on facility leases on a straight-line basis. Rent expense totaled approximately $350,000 and $415,000 for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

 

Future minimum rental payments under these leases as of December 31, 2017 are as follows (in thousands):

Legal Proceedings

 

We are subject to legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of business. We do not believe that the outcome of those matters will have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, operating results or cash flows. However, there can be no assurance such legal proceedings will not have a material impact.

 

We are not aware of any material claims outstanding or pending against Intrusion Inc. at December 31, 2017.

 

 

5. Employee Benefit Plan

 

Employee 401(k) Plan

 

We have a plan known as the Intrusion Inc. 401(k) Savings Plan (the “Plan”) to provide retirement and incidental benefits for our employees. The Plan covers substantially all employees who meet minimum age and service requirements. As allowed under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code, the Plan provides tax deferred salary deductions for eligible employees.

 

Employees may contribute from 1% to 25% of their annual compensation to the Plan, limited to a maximum amount as set by the Internal Revenue Service. Participants who are over the age of 50 may contribute an additional amount of their salary per year, as defined annually by the Internal Revenue Service. We match employee contributions at the rate of $0.25 per each $1.00 of contribution on the first 4% of compensation. Matching contributions to the Plan were approximately $30,000 and $32,000, respectively, for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016.

 

 

6. Line of Credit

 

On March 29, 2006, we entered into a Loan and Security Agreement with Silicon Valley Bank (“SVB”) to establish a $1.0 million line of credit (the “2006 Credit Line”). The Loan was renewed annually until 2016. On June 21, 2016, the Loan Agreement terminated. Due to increasing fees associated with the Line of Credit, we chose not to renew the loan agreement on the termination date. We replaced the line with an increased commitment under the CEO Note (Note 7 below) as needed.

 

 

7. Borrowings from Officer

 

On February 9, 2017, the Company entered into an unsecured revolving promissory note to borrow up to $3,400,000 from G. Ward Paxton, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (the “CEO Note”). Under the terms of the CEO Note, the Company may borrow, repay and reborrow on the loan as needed up to an outstanding principal balance due of $3,400,000 at any given time through March 2019.

 

On March 2, 2017, the Company amended the CEO Note described above on the same terms, with the Company being able to borrow, repay, and re-borrow on the note as needed up to an outstanding principal balance due of $3,700,000 at any given time through March 2019.

 

On February 8, 2018, the Company renewed the CEO Note on the same terms, with the Company being able to borrow, repay and reborrow on the CEO Note as needed up to an outstanding principal balance due of $3,700,000 at any given time through March 2020.

 

Amounts borrowed under the CEO Note officer accrue interest at a floating rate per annum equal to Silicon Valley Bank’s (“SVB”) prime rate plus 1% (5.5% at December 31, 2017). All outstanding borrowings and accrued but unpaid interest is due on March 31, 2020. As of December 31, 2017, the borrowings outstanding totaled $2,865,000 and accrued interest totaled $348,000.

8. Income Taxes

 

Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. Significant components of our deferred tax assets (liabilities) as of December 31, 2017 and 2016 are as follows (in thousands):

  $     $  

 

Deferred tax assets are required to be reduced by a valuation allowance if it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Realization of the future benefits related to the deferred tax assets is dependent on many factors, including the Company’s ability to generate taxable income within the near to medium term. Management has considered these factors in determining the valuation allowance for 2017 and 2016.

 

The differences between the provision for income taxes and income taxes computed using the federal statutory rate for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 are as follows (in thousands):

At December 31, 2017, we had federal net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $87.9 million for income tax purposes that begin to expire in 2022 and are subject to the ownership change limitations under Internal Revenue Code Section 382. We had approximately $6 million of state net operating loss carryforwards beginning to expire in 2017.

 

 

9. Stock Options

 

At December 31, 2017, we had two stock-based compensation plans, which are described below. These plans were developed to retain and attract key employees and directors.

 

On March 17, 2005, the Board approved the 2005 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2005 Plan”), which was approved by the stockholders on June 14, 2005. The 2005 Plan provided for the issuance of up to 750,000 shares of common stock upon exercise of options granted pursuant to the 2005 Plan. On May 30, 2007, the stockholders approved an Amendment to the 2005 Plan that increased this amount by 750,000 for a total of 1,500,000 shares of common stock that may be issued upon the exercise of options granted pursuant to the 2005 Plan. On May 29, 2008 and May 21, 2009, the stockholders approved an increase of 500,000 shares, respectively, of common stock that may be issued pursuant to the 2005 Plan for a total of 2,500,000 shares. On May 20, 2010, the stockholders approved an additional increase of 500,000 shares of common stock that may be issued pursuant to the 2005 Plan for a total of 3,000,000 shares. On May 19, 2011, the stockholders approved an additional increase of 400,000 shares of common stock that may be issued pursuant to the 2005 Plan for a total of 3,400,000 shares. Finally, on May 17, 2012, the stockholders approved an additional increase of 300,000 shares of common stock that may be issued pursuant to the 2005 Plan for a total of 3,700,000 shares. At December 31, 2017, 818,835 had been exercised and options to purchase a total of 1,652,500 shares of common stock were outstanding. A total of 3,892,000 options had been granted under the 2005 Plan, of which 1,420,665 have been cancelled. The 2005 Plan expired on December 31, 2015, and no shares remain for grant.

 

F-12

 

 

On March 19, 2015, the Board approved the 2015 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2015 Plan”), which was approved by the stockholders on May 14, 2015. The 2015 Plan serves as a replacement for the 2005 Plan which expired by its terms on June 14, 2015. The approval of the 2015 Plan had no effect on the 2005 Plan or any options granted pursuant to the plan. All options will continue with their existing terms and will be subject to the 2005 Plan. Further, the Company will not be able to re-issue any option which is cancelled or terminated under the 2005 Plan. The 2015 Plan provided for the issuance of up to 600,000 shares of common stock upon exercise of options granted pursuant to the 2015 Plan.

 

The 2015 Plan consists of three separate equity incentive programs: the Discretionary Option Grant Program; the Stock Issuance Program; and the Automatic Option Grant Program for non-employee Board members. Officers and employees, non-employee Board members and independent contractors are eligible to participate in the Discretionary Option Grant and Stock Issuance Programs. Participation in the Automatic Option Grant Program is limited to non-employee members of the Board. Each non-employee Board member will receive an option grant for 10,000 shares of common stock upon initial election or appointment to the Board, provided that such individual has not previously been employed by the Company in the preceding three (3) months. In addition, on the date of each annual stockholders meeting, each Board member will automatically be granted an option to purchase 8,000 shares of common stock, provided he or she has served as a non-employee Board member for at least three months. At December 31, 2017, no options had been exercised and options to purchase a total of 93,000 shares of common stock were outstanding. A total of 96,000 options had been granted under the 2015 Plan, 3,000 shares have been cancelled, and options for 507,000 shares remained available for future grant. No shares have been issued pursuant to the Stock Issuance Program.

 

Common shares reserved for future issuance, including conversions of preferred stock, outstanding options and options available for future grant under all of the stock option plans totaled 3,319,943 shares at December 31, 2017 as follows, in thousands:

The Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors determines for all employee options, the term of each option, option exercise price within limits set forth in the plans, number of shares for which each option is granted and the rate at which each option is exercisable (generally ratably over one, three or five years from grant date). However, the exercise price of any incentive stock option may not be less than the fair market value of the shares on the date granted (or less than 110% of the fair market value in the case of optionees holding more than 10% of our voting stock of the Company), and the term cannot exceed ten years (five years for incentive stock options granted to holders of more than 10% of our voting stock).

10. Preferred Stock

 

5% Preferred Stock

 

On March 25, 2004, we completed a $5.0 million private placement of our 5% convertible preferred stock and warrants. In the private placement, we sold 1,000,000 shares of our 5% preferred stock at a price of $5.00 per share for gross proceeds of $5.0 million, less $275,000 of issuance costs. The 5% preferred shares were initially convertible into 1,590,331 shares of common stock at a conversion price of $3.144 per share. Holders of the 5% convertible preferred stock include 140,000 shares purchased by our CEO and 60,000 shares purchased by a director of the Company.

As of December 31, 2017 and 2016, we had $447,000 and $303,000 in accrued and unpaid dividends included in other current liabilities. Delaware law provides that we may only pay dividends out of our capital surplus or, if no surplus is available, out of our net profits for the fiscal year the dividend is declared and/or the preceding fiscal year. This has been in effect since December 31, 2014. If we continue to be unable to pay dividends on our preferred stock, we will be required to accrue an additional late fee penalty of 18% per annum on the unpaid dividends for the Series 2 Preferred Stock and Series 3 Preferred Stock. Our CEO, CFO and one outside board member who are invested in Series 2 and Series 3 Preferred Stock have waived any possible late fee penalties.

 

 

11.  Concentrations

 

Our operations are concentrated in one area—security software/entity identification. Sales to the U.S. Government through direct and indirect channels totaled 81.6% of total revenues for 2017 and 69.3% of total revenues for 2016. During 2017 approximately 58.8% of total revenues were attributable to three government customers. During 2016 approximately 49.7% of total revenues are attributable to three government customers. No individual commercial customer in 2017 or 2016 exceeded 30% of total revenues for the year. Five individual commercial customers at December 31, 2017 and four at December 31, 2016 exceeded 10% of total accounts receivable balance at respective year ends. Our similar product and service offerings are not viewed as individual segments, as our management analyzes the business as a whole and expenses are not allocated to each product offering.

 

 

12.  Other Income

 

On July 7, 2017, the Company entered into a sale of certain IP addresses that were not currently being used in the Company's business operations and were not required for the Company's future business plans. The net proceeds from the sale of these intellectual property assets were in the amount of $872,000 which the Company received on August 9, 2017. In addition, $56,000 was received on August 3, 2017 from the sale of an investment. The receipt of these transactions had an immediate positive impact on the Company's liquidity position.

 

 

13.  Subsequent Events

 

On February 8, 2018, the Company amended the unsecured revolving promissory note to borrow up to $3,700,000 from G. Ward Paxton, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer. Under the terms of the note, the Company may borrow, repay and reborrow on the loan as needed up to an outstanding principal balance due of $3,700,000 at any given time through March 2020.
