GOING CONCERN, LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

We acknowledge that the Company continues to face a challenging operating environment, and we continue to focus on improving our overall profitability. We have incurred significant operating losses in recent years and, as of September 30, 2018, we had an accumulated deficit of approximately $91.4 million. At September 30, 2018, we had outstanding debt of approximately $10.8 million. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

We have issued various promissory notes to finance our acquisitions of KBS and EBGL and to provide for our general working capital needs. As of September 30, 2018, we had outstanding debt totaling approximately $10.8 million. Our debt primarily included (i) $3.8 million principal outstanding on KBS’s $4.0 million revolving credit facility under a loan and security agreement (as amended, the "KBS Loan Agreement") with Gerber Finance Inc. ("Gerber Finance"), and $3.0 million principal outstanding under a loan and security agreement with Gerber Finance used to finance the acquisition of EBGL (as amended, the “Acquisition Loan Agreement”), and (ii) $2.2 million principal outstanding on EBGL’s $3.0 million revolving credit facility under a revolving credit loan agreement (the "Premier Loan Agreement") with Premier Bank ("Premier"), which became effective on June 30, 2017 and replaced the prior $3.0 million revolving credit facility under a loan and security agreement with Gerber Finance (the "EBGL Loan Agreement"). We also have obligations to make $0.2 million in deferred cash payments to the sellers of EBGL, payable in monthly installments of $0.1 million, inclusive of interest, through November 1, 2018, and have $1.4 million in unsecured promissory notes payable to Lone Star Value Co-Invest I, LP ("LSV Co-Invest I"), a related party, with interest payable semi-annually with any unpaid principal and interest due on January 12, 2020, (“LSVI Co-Invest I Notes Payable”, otherwise referred to herein and defined below as the LSV Co-Invest I January Note and LSV Co-Invest I June Note).

At the applicable test dates, we were not in compliance with the following financial covenants under our loan agreements: (i) a requirement for KBS to maintain a minimum leverage ratio of 7:1 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017, as its actual leverage ratio for such period was negative; (ii) a requirement for KBS not to incur a net annual post-tax loss in any fiscal year of the loan agreements, as KBS’s net annual post-tax loss for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017 was $1.9 million; and (iii) a requirement to deliver the Company’s fiscal year-end financial statements reviewed by an independent certified accounting firm acceptable to Gerber Finance within 105 days from the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017. In August 2017, Gerber Finance provided us with a waiver for these events. As of December 31, 2018, KBS was not in compliance with the financial covenants under the KBS Loan Agreement requiring no net annual post-tax loss for KBS or the minimum leverage ratio covenant as of these test dates. Additionally, KBS was not in compliance with the requirement to deliver the Company's fiscal year-end financial statements reviewed by an independent certified accounting firm acceptable to Gerber Finance within 105 days from the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018. The occurrence of any event of default under the KBS Loan Agreement may result in KBS’s obligations under the KBS Loan Agreement becoming immediately due and payable. In April 2019 and June 2019, we obtained a waiver from Gerber Finance for these events. In addition, the Company and Gerber Finance agreed to eliminate the minimum leverage ratio covenant for years after 2018.

As of December 31, 2018, EBGL was not in compliance with the following covenants under the Premier Loan Agreement: (i) requirement to maintain a Debt Service Coverage Ratio for the calendar year of at least 1.0; and (ii) a requirement to deliver the Company's fiscal year-end audited financial statements within 120 days of the end of each calendar year. The occurrence of any event of default under the Premier Loan Agreement may result in EBGL’s obligations under the Premier Loan Agreement becoming immediately due and payable. In April 2019, we obtained a waiver from Premier for these events through August 1, 2019 (the current maturity date of the Premier Loan Agreement).

If the Company fails to comply with any financial covenants under our loan agreements with Gerber Finance or Premier going forward, the applicable lender(s) may demand the repayment of the credit facilities amount outstanding and any unpaid interest thereon.

We have implemented several strategic initiatives, effected certain actions and continued to consider additional actions to improve the Company’s overall profitability and increase cash flows, including:


•	KBS’s strategic shift away from large commercial projects with significant site work to focus on its core competency of manufacturing modular buildings;


•	KBS’s efforts to improve operating efficiencies, including reconfiguring the South Paris factory to increase production, investments in automated equipment to reduce labor costs, implementing lean manufacturing techniques, and elimination of duplicate overhead costs through the shut-down of the Waterford factory;


•	Reduction in KBS workforce including manufacturing, sales, engineering and front-office staff;


•	KBS increased pricing on its base ranch model in 2017, and in November 2017, instituted a 6% lumber surcharge on all new orders to help offset the significant rise in lumber and other raw materials costs;


•	KBS implemented a new dynamic pricing model for 2018, which was designed to determine its bid price quoted to customers on the most current cost information to better ensure full recovery of its manufacturing costs and improve overall gross margins;


•	In July 2017, KBS made the final payment due to the primary seller of KBS, freeing up $0.1 million per month of cash flows to be used for operations;


•	In November 2018, EBGL made the final payment due to the sellers of EBGL, freeing up $0.1 million per month of cash flows to be used for operations;


•	In 2017, we instituted a lumber hedging program for EBGL to assist in preserving existing margins against the potential large fluctuations in lumber raw material prices;


•	In August 2016, we amended certain of our debt agreements to allow the Company to pay PIK Interest on approximately $11.0 million of our debt, reducing strain on current cash flows;


•	In June 2017, we refinanced EBGL’s revolving credit facility and amended the terms of our agreement with the EBGL Sellers providing for deferred payments to obtain more favorable lending and payment terms and reduce total fees paid under these agreements;


•	In September 2017, we converted $13.3 million of the Company’s outstanding debt, including accrued interest, to the Company’s 10.00% Series B Cumulative Preferred Stock ("Series B Stock");


•	As discussed in Note 13, in January 2018 and in June 2018, the Company issued unsecured promissory notes in the principal amounts of $0.5 million and $0.9 million, respectively, to LSV Co-Invest I to provide additional working capital for the Company;


•	In April 2019, KBS and EBGL executed sale leasebacks of several of its real estate properties (see further discussion in Note 18); and


•	We continue to look for opportunities to refinance our remaining debt on more favorable terms.

On September 10, 2018, ATRM entered into a non-binding letter of intent (the “LOI”) relating to the acquisition of ATRM (the "ATRM Acquisition") by Digirad Corporation ("Digirad") (NASDAQ: DRAD). Under the terms contemplated in the LOI, ATRM stockholders would have received consideration consisting of 0.4 shares of Digirad common stock for each share of outstanding ATRM common stock acquired by the Company in the ATRM Acquisition (see Note 18 for additional information). Although the LOI expired by its terms on December 31, 2018, Digirad and ATRM have had additional discussions regarding the terms and conditions of a proposed transaction and the consideration to be paid for ATRM shares. The parties are currently discussing that the consideration would not be Digirad shares of common stock, but some other form of security. In addition, on May 15, 2019, Digirad and ATRM entered into an Agreement which provides that, in the event the ATRM Acquisition does not close on or prior to December 31, 2019, ATRM will reimburse Digirad of certain consulting and related fees paid by Digirad on behalf of ATRM. We anticipate the ATRM Acquisition to close in the third quarter of 2019; however, the parties have not reached any definitive agreement, and there can be no assurance regarding timing of completion of regulatory approvals, which could delay timing of the closing and any ATRM Acquisition would remain subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions.

Our historical operating results indicate substantial doubt exists related to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. We cannot predict with certainty the outcome of our actions to generate liquidity, including the availability of additional debt financing, or whether such actions would generate the expected liquidity as currently planned.

If we continue to experience operating losses, and we are not able to generate additional liquidity through the mechanisms described above or through some combination of other actions, we may not be able to continue operations. Additionally, a failure to generate additional liquidity could negatively impact our access to materials or services that are important to the operation of our business. In addition, these losses could further trigger violations of covenants under our debt agreements, resulting in accelerated payment of these loans.

There can be no assurance that our existing cash reserves, together with funds generated by our operations and any future financings, will be sufficient to satisfy our debt payment obligations, to avoid liquidity issues and/or fund operations beyond this fiscal year. Our inability to generate funds from our operations and/or obtain financing sufficient to satisfy our payment obligations may result in our obligations being accelerated by our lenders, which would likely have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Given these uncertainties, there can be no assurance that our existing cash reserves will be sufficient to avoid liquidity issues and/or fund operations beyond this fiscal year.

Other intangible assets with indefinite lives, such as tradenames, are assessed annually in order to determine whether their carrying value exceeds their fair value. In addition, they are tested on an interim basis if an event occurs or circumstances change between annual tests that would more likely than not reduce their fair value below carrying value. If we determine the fair value of goodwill or other indefinite-lived intangible assets is less than their carrying value, an impairment loss is recognized. Impairment losses, if any, are reflected in operating income or loss in the period incurred. The Company performs its annual tests of trademarks during the second quarter of each fiscal year. As a result of our assessment we concluded that there was no impairment.
