NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NINE MONTHS ENDED FEBRUARY 28, 2017 and 2016

Arkados Group, Inc. (the “Parent”) conducts business activities principally through its two wholly-owned subsidiaries, Arkados, Inc. (“Arkados”) and Arkados Energy Solutions, LLC (“AES”) (collectively, the “Company”).

The Company underwent a significant restructuring following December 23, 2010, during which substantially all of its assets were acquired by STMicroelectronics, Inc. (sometimes referred to hereinafter as the “Asset Sale”). Settlements reached in connection with the Asset Sale and the fulfillment of obligations in connection therewith, have been substantially completed.

Following the Asset Sale, the Company shifted its focus towards the following businesses:

Arkados - Software and hardware design and development of solutions that enable machine to machine communications for the Internet of Things (“IoT”). Arkados’ solutions are primarily focused on industrial and commercial applications such as building automation, energy management and predictive maintenance and are uniquely designed to drive a wide variety of full-featured, cutting edge solutions.

AES - Energy conservation services for commercial and industrial facilities owners and managers. AES’ services include implementing energy conservation measures such as LED lighting retrofits, oil to natural gas boiler conversions, co-generation system installation and solar PV system installations. In addition, AES sells technology solutions designed by Arkados, Inc. and others that serve to improve the effectiveness of the measures and increases return on investment for the customer.

Effective March 18, 2015, the Company implemented a reverse stock split of its outstanding common stock at a ratio of 1-for-30 shares. All share figures and results are reflected on a post-split basis.

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements as of February 28, 2017 (unaudited) and May 31, 2016 and for the three and nine months ended February 28, 2017 and February 29, 2016 (unaudited) have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission including Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X. The information furnished herein reflects all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals and adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to fairly present the operating results for the respective periods. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally present in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. These financial statements and the information included under the heading “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and explanatory notes for the year ended May 31, 2016 as disclosed in our annual report on Form 10-K for that year. The results of the three and nine months ended February 28, 2017 (unaudited) are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the pending full year ending May 31, 2017.

The Company’s plan, through potential acquisitions and the continued promotion of its services to existing and potential customers, is to generate sufficient revenues to cover our anticipated expenses. The Company is currently exploring several options to meet its short-term cash requirements, including an equity raise or loan funding from third parties. Although no assurances can be given as to the Company’s ability to deliver on its revenue plans, or that unforeseen expenses may arise, the management of the Company believes that the revenue to be generated from operations together with potential bridge note funding, additional issuances of equity or other potential financing will provide the necessary funding for the Company to continue as a going concern. 

Arkados

The Company enters into arrangements with end users for items which may include software license fees, services, maintenance and royalties or various combinations thereof. For each arrangement, revenues will be recognized when evidence of an agreement has been documented, the fees are fixed or determinable, collection of fees is probable, delivery of the product has occurred and no other significant obligations remain.

Revenues from software licensing are recognized in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 985-605, “Software Revenue Recognition.” Accordingly, revenue from software licensing is recognized when all of the following criteria are met: persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the fee is fixed or determinable, and collectability is probable.

License revenues are recognized at the time of delivery of the software and all other revenue recognition criteria discussed above have been met. Deferred revenue represents license revenues billed but not yet earned. Sales of products are recognized when the products are shipped and the customer takes risk of ownership and assumes the risk of loss. Royalty income is recognized as it is earned and recorded when reported by the customer.

AES

Sales of products are recognized when the products are shipped and the customer takes risk of ownership and assumes the risk of loss. Service revenue is recognized when the service is completed. Deferred revenue represents revenues billed but not yet earned.

The three levels of the fair value hierarchy defined by ASC 820 are as follows:

Level 1 – Quoted prices are available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date. Active markets are those in which transactions for the asset or liability occur in sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis. Level 1 primarily consists of financial instruments such as exchange-traded derivatives, marketable securities and listed equities.

Level 2 – Pricing inputs are other than quoted prices in active markets included in Level 1, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reported date. Level 2 includes those financial instruments that are valued using models or other valuation methodologies. These models are primarily industry-standard models that consider various assumptions, including quoted forward prices for commodities, time value, volatility factors and current market and contractual prices for the underlying instruments, as well as other relevant economic measures. Substantially all of these assumptions are observable in the marketplace throughout the full term of the instrument, can be derived from observable data or are supported by observable levels at which transactions are executed in the marketplace. Instruments in this category generally include non-exchange-traded derivatives such as commodity swaps, interest rate swaps, options and collars.

Level 3 – Pricing inputs include significant inputs that are generally less observable from objective sources. These inputs may be used with internally developed methodologies that result in management’s best estimate of fair value.

The following table summarizes the securities that were excluded from the diluted per share calculation because the effect of including these potential shares was antidilutive even though the exercise price could be less than the average market price of the common shares. 

We believe the following critical accounting policies affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of the financial statements. Significant estimates include the allowance for doubtful accounts, the useful life of plant and equipment and intangible assets, deferred tax asset and valuation allowance, and assumptions used in Black-Scholes-Merton, or BSM, valuation methods, such as expected volatility, risk-free interest rate, and expected dividend rate.

Accounting standards generally provides three criteria that, if met, require companies to bifurcate conversion options from their host instruments and account for them as free standing derivative financial instruments. These three criteria include circumstances in which (a) the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded derivative instrument are not clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics and risks of the host contract, (b) the hybrid instrument that embodies both the embedded derivative instrument and the host contract is not re-measured at fair value under otherwise applicable generally accepted accounting principles with changes in fair value reported in earnings as they occur, and (c) a separate instrument with the same terms as the embedded derivative instrument would be considered a derivative instrument.  Professional standards also provide an exception to this rule when the host instrument is deemed to be conventional as defined under professional standards as “The Meaning of Conventional Convertible Debt Instrument.” 

The Company accounts for convertible instruments (when it has determined that the embedded conversion options should not be bifurcated from their host instruments) in accordance with professional standards when “Accounting for Convertible Securities with Beneficial Conversion Features,” as those professional standards pertain to “Certain Convertible Instruments.” Accordingly, the Company records, when necessary, discounts to convertible notes for the intrinsic value of conversion options embedded in debt instruments based upon the differences between the fair value of the underlying common stock at the commitment date of the note transaction and the effective conversion price embedded in the note. Original issue discounts (“OID”) under these arrangements are amortized over the term of the related debt to their earliest date of redemption. The Company also records when necessary deemed dividends for the intrinsic value of conversion options embedded in preferred shares based upon the differences between the fair value of the underlying common stock at the commitment date of the note transaction and the effective conversion price embedded in the note.

ASC 815-40 provides that, among other things, generally, if an event is not within the entity’s control could or require net cash settlement, then the contract shall be classified as an asset or a liability.

In January 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued an Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2017-01, “Business Combinations (Topic 805) Clarifying the Definition of a Business”. The amendments in this Update is to clarify the definition of a business with the objective of adding guidance to assist entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses. The definition of a business affects many areas of accounting including acquisitions, disposals, goodwill, and consolidation. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those periods. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance.

In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230) Restricted Cash”. The new guidance requires that the reconciliation of the beginning-of-period and end-of-period amounts shown in the statement of cash flows include restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents. If restricted cash is presented separately from cash and cash equivalents on the balance sheet, companies will be required to reconcile the amounts presented on the statement of cash flows to the amounts on the balance sheet. Companies will also need to disclose information about the nature of the restrictions. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230) Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments”. The new guidance is intended to reduce diversity in practice in how certain transactions are classified in the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-15 is effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2019. Early adoption is permitted, provided that all of the amendments are adopted in the same period. The guidance requires application using a retrospective transition method. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance. 

In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016 – 10 “Revenue from Contract with Customers: identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing”. The amendments in this Update clarify the two following aspects (a) contracts with customers to transfer goods and services in exchange for consideration and (b) determining whether an entity’s promise to grant a license provides a customer with either a right to use the entity’s intellectual property (which is satisfied at a point in time) or a right to access the entity’s intellectual property (which is satisfied over time). The amendments in this Update are intended to reduce the degree of judgement necessary to comply with Topic 606. This guidance has no effective date as yet. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance.

In March 2016, the FASB issued authoritative guidance regarding the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows. The guidance is to be applied for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016 and interim periods within those annual periods, and early adoption is permitted. The guidance requires companies to apply the requirements retrospectively, modified retrospectively, or prospectively depending on the amendment(s) applied. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases” (Topic 842).  This guidance will be effective for public entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 including the interim periods within those fiscal years. Early application is permitted. Under the new provisions, all lessees will report a right-of-use asset and a liability for the obligation to make payments for all leases with the exception of those leases with a term of 12 months or less.  All other leases will fall into one of two categories: (i) Financing leases, similar to capital leases, which will require the recognition of an asset and liability, measured at the present value of the lease payments and (ii) Operating leases which will require the recognition of an asset and liability measured at the present value of the lease payments. Lessor accounting remains substantially unchanged with the exception that no leases entered into after the effective date will be classified as leveraged leases. For sale leaseback transactions, the sale will only be recognized if the criteria in the new revenue recognition standard are met. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance.

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, which amends the guidance relating to the classification and measurement of financial instruments. Changes to the current guidance primarily affect the accounting for equity investments, financial liabilities under the fair value option, and the presentation and disclosure requirements for financial instruments. In addition, the ASU clarifies guidance related to the valuation allowance assessment when recognizing deferred tax assets resulting from unrealized losses on available-for-sale debt securities. The new standard is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and upon adoption, an entity should apply the amendments by means of a cumulative-effect adjustment to the balance sheet at the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is effective. Early adoption is not permitted except for the provision to record fair value changes for financial liabilities under the fair value option resulting from instrument-specific credit risk in other comprehensive income. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance.

In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14, “Revenue From Contracts With Customers (Topic 606)”. The amendments in this ASU defer the effective date of ASU 2014-09 “Revenue From Contracts With Customers (Topic 606)”. Public business entities should apply the guidance in ASU 2014-09 to annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. Earlier application is permitted only as of annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. The Company is still evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance.

All newly issued but not yet effective accounting pronouncements have been deemed to be not applicable or immaterial to the Company.

In December 2010, the Company entered into an agreement to sell substantially all of the assets (the “Asset Sale”) to STMicroelectronics, Inc. (“ST US”), a subsidiary of STMicroelectronics N.V. (“ST”). The Asset Sale was predicated on the Company settling its secured debt and a significant part of its unsecured debt and closed in June, 2011. The Company is negotiating with its remaining unsecured debt holders to compromise, extend the due date or convert outstanding debt into equity. Debt holders who have agreed to settle through receipt of the Company’s equity are labeled as “Debt Subject to Equity Being Issued” on the balance sheet. Except as set forth above, there is no binding commitment on anyone’s part to complete the transactions.

Debt Subject to Equity Being Issued

As a direct result of the Sale of the License and IP Agreements to ST US and the mandate to obtain debt releases, the Company has been able to reach settlements with its secured creditors and employees, with cash payments to the secured creditors made as of the December 2010 and June 2011 closings. Nothing further is owed to the Company’s secured creditors. There remains, however, approximately $179,000 of payments due the former employees as of February 28, 2017 and May 31, 2016.

As of February 28, 2017 and May 31, 2016, there remained $456,930 of debts that have been settled with debt holders who have agreed to accept equity for their remaining debt.

Notes Payable  

Notes payable transactions include the following: 

FY 2016 (Year Ended May 31, 2016) Transactions:

In January 2016, the Company executed a promissory note for a loan in the principal amount of $60,000. The promissory note bears interest at 6% per year, compounded quarterly, and matures on January 15, 2017 (the “January Note“). The proceeds from the January Note were used to partially repay two convertible notes as discussed below. In January 2017, the Company and holder amended this promissory note to extend the maturity date to March 31, 2017. Effective March 31, 2017, the Company and holder amended this promissory note further to extend the maturity date to June 15, 2017.

On January 8, 2016, the Company entered into an Exchange Agreement with the noteholders of two 6% convertible notes in the aggregate principle amount of $130,000 (collectively the “Convertible Notes”) that were in default. On January 15, 2016, the Company applied the proceeds of the 2016 Notes together with the issuance of 50,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, to the payment of the Convertible Notes.  In exchange for the payment and the shares, the holders of the Convertible Notes surrendered their notes, and the Company issued a new 6% Convertible Note to them in the original principal amount of $40,000 (“Reissued Note”).  The holders further agreed that their extension of the maturity of the Convertible Notes had been effective from October 31, 2015 until January 15, 2016.

As additional consideration, the Company issued 20,000 shares of common stock upon execution of this agreement. Accordingly, the Company recorded debt discount of $11,793 related to the restricted shares issued, and an original issue discount of $3,500. The debt discount and OID is amortized on a straight line basis over the term of the loan and amounted to $15,293 as of February 28, 2017. Net discount and net loan balance amounted to $0 and $38,500 respectively, as of February 28, 2017 and is recorded in convertible debentures.

Long term convertible debenture:

On November 11, 2016, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement whereas, the buyer wishes to purchase from the Company securities consisting of the Company’s convertible debentures due three years from issuance for an aggregate principal amount of up to $500,000 (which includes an aggregate purchase price of $450,000 and 10% OID of $50,000) (the “Debentures“). The Debentures are to be issued in three tranches. On November 11, 2016, the Company issued the first of the three Debentures amounting to $150,000 of principal, consisting of $135,000 in proceeds and $15,000 OID. The debenture is convertible at a conversion price of $0.65 up to 150 days after the issuance date and if no event of default. If an Event of Default, as such term is defined in the Debentures, has occurred, or 150 days after the Issuance Date, as such term is defined in the Debentures, the conversion price is the lesser of (a) $0.65 or (b) sixty five percent (65%) of the lowest closing bid price of the common stock for the twenty (20) trading days immediately preceding the date of the date of conversion of the Debentures. Accounting for derivatives will be evaluated after 150 days of issuance or upon default, if applicable where at that point the conversion price becomes variable. As additional consideration, the Company issued 50,000 shares of common stock upon execution of this agreement. In relation to this transaction the Company also incurred deferred financed costs totaling $6,000 for legal fees and commitment fees. Accordingly, the Company recorded debt discount of $38,337 related to the restricted shares issued, a debt discount of $74,530 related to the beneficial conversion feature, an OID of $15,000 and deferred finance cost of $6,000. As of February 28, 2017, total straight line amortization for these transactions amounted to $13,326 which resulted in a net discount of $120,542 and a net loan balance of $29,458 classified as long term debt.
