GOING CONCERN, LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
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 reported an operating loss for June 30, 2019. We have incurred significant operating losses in recent years and, as of June 30, 2019, we had an accumulated deficit of approximately $93.6 million. Working capital has remained negative over the past several years. Cash used in operating activities, remains negative which has required us to generate funds from investing and financing activities.  At June 30, 2019, we had outstanding debt of approximately $8.8 million of which $6.6 million is currently payable. 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 June 30, 2019, we had outstanding debt totaling approximately $8.8 million. Our debt primarily included (i) $0.9 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) $2.6 million principal outstanding on EBGL’s $3.0 million revolving credit facility under a revolving credit loan agreement with Premier Bank (the "Premier Loan Agreement"). We also have debt with related parties which includes (i) $1.5 million of unsecured promissory notes with Lone Star Value Co-Invest I, LP ("LSV Co-Invest I"), with interest payable semi-annually at a rate of 10.0% per annum (LSV Co-Invest I may elect to receive interest in-kind at a rate of 12.0% per annum), 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) (ii) $0.3 million of unsecured promissory notes with to LSVM, with interest payable annually at a rate of 10.0% per annum (LSVM may elect to receive any interest payment entirely in-kind at a rate of 12.0% per annum), with any unpaid principal and interest due on November 30, 2020 ("LSVM Note"), and (iii) a $0.3 million unsecured promissory note with Digirad Corporation ("Digirad") (NASDAQ: DRAD), a related party, with interest payable at 10.0%per annum for the first 12 months of its term, and at 12.0% per annum for the remaining 12 months, with any unpaid principal and interest due on December 14, 2020.
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 July 2019, we obtained a waiver from Premier Bank for these events through October 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 Bank 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 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 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 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;
As discussed in Note 16, 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 their real estate properties (see further discussion in Note 13); and
We continue to look for opportunities to refinance our remaining debt on more favorable terms.
On July 3, 2019, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Digirad, and Digirad Acquisition Corporation, a Minnesota corporation and newly-formed subsidiary of Digirad (“Merger Sub”), providing for the merger of Merger Sub with and into the Company (the “Merger”), with the Company surviving the Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of Digirad.  The Merger Agreement was approved unanimously by the Board, following recommendation by a special committee of independent and disinterested directors.
At the effective time of the Merger, each share of Company common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time (other than shares (i) owned by the Company or any subsidiary, (ii) owned by Digirad or Merger Sub, or (iii) held by shareholders who have perfected and not withdrawn a demand for appraisal rights under Minnesota law (collectively (i), (ii) and (iii), “Excluded Shares”)) will be canceled and converted automatically into the right to receive 0.03 shares of a newly created Series A non-convertible perpetual preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of Digirad (“Series A Preferred Stock”).  Each share of the Company’s Series B Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time (other than Excluded Shares) will be canceled and converted automatically into the right to receive 2.5 shares of Series A Preferred Stock.
In addition, on May 15, 2019, Digirad and ATRM entered into an Agreement which provides that, in the event the Merger 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 Merger to close in the third quarter of 2019; however, there can be no assurance regarding timing of completion of regulatory approvals, which could delay timing of the closing, and the Merger would remain subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions including the passing vote of the Company's shareholders.

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.
