SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws, which statements involve substantial risks and uncertainties. Forward-looking statements generally relate to future events or our future financial or operating performance. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements because they contain words such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “would,” “shall,” “might,” “expects,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “could,” “intends,” “target,” “projects,” “contemplates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “predicts,” “potential,” or “continue” or the negative of these words or other similar terms or expressions that concern our expectations, strategy, plans, or intentions. Forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q include, but are not limited to, statements about:

 

 

our future financial performance, including our revenue, cost of revenue, gross profit, gross margin, operating expenses, ability to generate positive cash flow, and ability to achieve and maintain profitability;

 

the sufficiency of our cash and cash equivalents to meet our working capital, capital expenditure, and liquidity needs;

 

our ability to attract and retain customers to use our products, to optimize the pricing for our products, to expand our sales to our customers, and to convince our existing customers to renew subscriptions;

 

the evolution of technologies affecting our products and markets;

 

our ability to innovate and provide a superior user experience and our intentions and strategy with respect thereto;

 

our ability to successfully penetrate enterprise markets;

 

our ability to successfully expand in our existing markets and into new markets, including international markets;

 

the attraction and retention of key personnel;

 

our ability to effectively manage our growth and future expenses;

 

worldwide economic conditions and their impact on spending; and

 

our ability to comply with modified or new laws and regulations applying to our business, including privacy and data security regulations.

 

We caution you that the foregoing list does not contain all of the forward-looking statements made in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

 

You should not rely upon forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. We have based the forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q primarily on our current expectations and projections about future events and trends that we believe may affect our business, financial condition, operating results, and prospects. The outcome of the events described in these forward-looking statements is subject to risks, uncertainties, and other factors described in the section titled “Risk Factors” in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2018. Moreover, we and our subsidiaries operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risks and uncertainties emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict all risks and uncertainties that could have an impact on the forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. We cannot assure you that the results, events, and circumstances reflected in the forward-looking statements will be achieved or occur, and actual results, events, or circumstances could differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements.

 

The forward-looking statements made in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q relate only to events as of the date on which the statements are made. We undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statements made in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or to reflect new information or the occurrence of unanticipated events, except as required by law. We and our subsidiaries may not actually achieve the plans, intentions, or expectations disclosed in our forward-looking statements and you should not place undue reliance on our forward-looking statements. Our forward-looking statements do not reflect the potential impact of any future acquisitions, mergers, dispositions, joint ventures, or investments we may make.

Note (1) Upon issuance of the preferred shares in the Wainwright acquisition, the Company no longer had sufficient authorized, unissued, common stock to allow for Series B conversion. Accordingly, the Series B was reclassified to the mezzanine section. On December 15, 2017 a 1:30 reverse stock split was completed and allowed for the Series B shares to be moved from the mezzanine section to stockholders' equity. All share amounts have been adjusted for the reverse stock split (Note 14).

NOTE 2.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Basis of Presentation and Accounting Principles

 

The Company has prepared the accompanying financial statements on a consolidated basis. In the opinion of management, the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and related statements of income and comprehensive income, and cash flows include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring items, necessary for their fair presentation, prepared on an accrual basis, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The information included in this Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with information included in the Company’s 2018 Form 10-K filed on September 28, 2018 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements, which are referred to herein as the “Financial Statements” include the accounts of Concierge and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Wainwright, Gourmet Foods, Brigadier and Original Sprout.

 

All significant inter-company transactions and accounts have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of the Financial Statements are in conformity with U.S. GAAP which requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the Financial Statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

Cash and cash equivalents include all highly liquid debt instruments with original maturities of three months or less. The Company maintains its cash and cash equivalents in financial institutions in the United States, Canada, and New Zealand. Accounts in the United States are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $250,000 per depositor, and accounts in Canada are insured by the Canada Deposit Insurance Corporation up to CD$100,000 per depositor. Accounts in New Zealand are uninsured. The Company has, at times, held deposits in excess of insured amounts, but the Company does not expect any losses in such accounts.

 

 

Accounts Receivable, net and Accounts Receivable - Related Parties

 

Accounts receivable, net, consist of receivables from the Brigadier, Gourmet Foods and Original Sprout businesses. The Company does not currently maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts as it believes all accounts are collectible. Management regularly reviews the composition of accounts receivable and analyzes customer credit worthiness, customer concentrations, current economic trends and changes in customer payment patterns to determine whether or not an account should be deemed uncollectible. Reserves, if any, are recorded on a specific identification basis. Account balances are charged off against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote. As of March 31, 2019 and June 30, 2018, the Company had nil and $51,747, respectively, listed as doubtful accounts.

 

Accounts receivable - related parties, consist of fund asset management fees receivable from the Wainwright business. Management fees receivable generally consist of one month of management fees which are collected in the month after they are earned. As of March 31, 2019, and June 30, 2018, there is no allowance for doubtful accounts as all amounts are deemed collectible.

 

Major Customers & Suppliers – Concentration of Credit Risk

 

Concierge, through Brigadier, is dependent upon its contractual relationship with an alarm monitoring company who pays Brigadier for supplying and installing alarm systems and continues to remit monthly recurring revenues in exchange for customer service and support functions. Sales to the largest customer, which includes system installations and recurring monthly payments, totaled 46% of the total revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 52% for the nine months ended March 31, 2019 as compared to 51% of the total revenues for the three month period ended March 31, 2018 and 39% for the nine month period ended March 31, 2018, respectively, while accounting for approximately 31% and 35% of accounts receivable as of March 31, 2019 and June 30, 2018, respectively. Another large customer for the three months ended March 31, 2019 accounted for 12% of the total revenues and 23% of the accounts receivable while being insignificant in total sales for the nine month period ending March 31, 2019. A third significant customer for the three months ended March 31, 2019 accounted for 10% of total revenues and 16% of accounts receivable. Neither of the later two customers had significant sales totals for the three or nine month periods ended March 31, 2019.

 

Concierge, through Gourmet Foods, has three major customer groups comprising the gross revenues to Gourmet Foods; 1) grocery, 2) gasoline convenience stores, and 3) independent retailers. The grocery and food industry is dominated by several large chain operations, which are customers of Gourmet Foods, and there are no long term guarantees that these major customers will continue to purchase products from Gourmet Foods, however the relationships have been in place for sufficient time to give management reasonable confidence in their continuing business. For the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, our largest customer in the grocery industry, who operates through a number of independently branded stores, accounted for approximately 19% and 22%, respectively, of our gross sales revenues as compared to 21% and 20%, respectively, for the nine months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018. The same customer accounted for 25% and 33% of our accounts receivable for as of March 31, 2019 and June 30, 2018, respectively. The second largest customer in the grocery industry accounted for approximately 11% and 12% of our gross revenues for the three and nine month periods ended March 31, 2019, respectively, as compared to 12% and 11% of gross revenues for the three and nine month periods ended March 31, 2018. The same customer accounted for 16% of our accounts receivable as of March 31, 2019 compared to 16% as of June 30, 2018. In the gasoline convenience store market we supply two major channels. The largest is a marketing consortium of gasoline dealers who, for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2019 accounted for approximately 46% and 44%, respectively, of our gross sales revenues as compared to 42% and 42% for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2018. No single member of the consortium is responsible for a significant portion of our accounts receivable. The second largest are independent operators accounting for less than 10% of gross sales however no single independent operator is responsible for a significant portion of our accounts receivable. The third category of independent retailers and cafes accounted for the balance of our gross sales revenue however the group is fragmented and no one customer accounts for a significant portion of our revenues or accounts receivable. Gourmet Foods is not dependent upon any one major supplier as many alternative sources are available in the local market place should the need arise.

 

Concierge, through Original Sprout, has thousands of customers and, from time to time, certain of them become significant during specific reporting periods, but may not be significant during other periods. Original Sprout had 2 significant customers for the three month period ended March 31, 2019, accounting for 13% of total revenues each. Neither of these customers had significant sales for the three month period ended March 31, 2018. One of these customers also accounted for 11% of the total revenues for the nine month period ended March 31, 2019. Because the current business only commenced on December 18, 2017, there is no meaningful comparison data for the nine month period ending March 31, 2018.  One of these same customers accounted for 22% of accounts receivable at March 31, 2019 and 10% at June 30, 2018, while the other was insignificant. Original Sprout is dependent upon its relationship with a product packaging company who, at the direction of Original Sprout, manufactures the products, packages them in appropriate containers, and delivers the finished goods to Original Sprout for distribution to its customers. All of Original Sprout’s products are currently produced by this packaging company, although if this relationship were to fail there are other similar packaging companies available to Original Sprout at competitive pricing.

 

 

For our subsidiary, Wainwright, the concentration of risk and the relative reliance on major customers are found within the various funds it manages and the associated three and nine month revenues as of March 31, 2019 and March 31, 2018 along with the accounts receivable at March 31, 2019 as compared with June 30, 2018 as depicted below.

Inventories

 

Inventories, consisting primarily of food products and packaging in New Zealand, hair and skin care finished products and components in the U.S. and security system hardware in Canada, are valued at the lower of cost (determined on a FIFO basis) or net realizable value. Inventories include product cost, inbound freight and warehousing costs where applicable. Management compares the cost of inventories with the net realizable value and an allowance is made for writing down the inventories to their net realizable value, if lower. For the nine months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 impairment to inventory value was recorded as $0 and $0, respectively. An assessment is made at the end of each fiscal year to determine what inventory items have remained in stock from the close of the previous fiscal year. If such items exist, either a reserve is established to reduce inventory value by the value of these items, or these items are removed from the inventory valuation and recorded as an expense. For the three and nine month periods ended March 31, 2019 and March 31, 2018, the expense for slow moving or obsolete inventory was $0 for each. As of March 31, 2019 and June 30, 2018 there was no reserve established for slow moving inventory valuation.

 

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment are stated at cost. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to earnings as incurred; additions, renewals and leasehold improvements are capitalized. Office furniture and equipment include office fixtures, computers, printers and other office equipment plus software and applicable packaging designs. Leasehold improvements, which are included in plant and equipment, are depreciated over the shorter of the useful life of the improvement and the length of the lease. When property and equipment are retired or otherwise disposed of, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective accounts, and any gain or loss is included in operations. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the asset (see Note 5 to the Financial Statements).

years)

 

Plant and equipment:

  5 to 10  

Furniture and office equipment:

  3 to 5  

Vehicles

  3 to 5  

 

 

Intangible Assets

 

Intangible assets consist of brand names, domain names, recipes, non-compete agreements and customer lists. Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized over the estimated useful life and are evaluated for impairment at least on an annual basis and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. The Company assesses recoverability by determining whether the carrying value of such assets will be recovered through the discounted expected future cash flows. If the future discounted cash flows are less than the carrying amount of these assets, the Company recognizes an impairment loss based on the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value of the assets. There was no impairment recorded for the nine months ended March 31, 2019 or 2018.

 

Goodwill

 

Goodwill represents the excess of the aggregate purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired in a purchase businesses combination. Goodwill is tested for impairment on an annual basis during the fourth quarter of our fiscal year, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of goodwill may be impaired. The goodwill impairment test is a two-step test. Under the first step, the fair value of the reporting unit is compared with its carrying value including goodwill. If the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds its carrying value, step two does not need to be performed. If the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying value, an indication of goodwill impairment exists for the reporting unit and the enterprise must perform step two of the impairment test. Under step two, an impairment loss is recognized for any excess of the carrying amount of the reporting unit’s goodwill over the implied fair value of that goodwill. The implied fair value of goodwill is determined by allocating the fair value of the reporting unit in a manner similar to a purchase price allocation. The residual fair value after this allocation is the implied fair value of the reporting unit goodwill. There was no impairment recorded for the nine months ended March 31, 2019 or 2018.

 

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

 

The Company tests long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable through the estimated undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the assets. Whenever any such impairment exists, an impairment loss will be recognized for the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value. There was no impairment recorded for the three or nine months ended March 31, 2019 or March 31, 2018.

 

Investments and Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

Investments are classified as available-for-sale securities. The Company measures the investments at fair value at period end with any changes in fair value reflected as unrealized gains or (losses) on the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income. The Company values its investments in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 820 – Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820”). ASC 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurement. The changes to past practice resulting from the application of ASC 820 relate to the definition of fair value, the methods used to measure fair value, and the expanded disclosures about fair value measurement. ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between: (1) market participant assumptions developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company (observable inputs) and (2) The Company’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions developed based on the best information available under the circumstances (unobservable inputs). The three levels defined by the ASC 820 hierarchy are as follows:

 

Level 1 – Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date.

 

Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 assets include the following: quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means (market-corroborated inputs).

 

Level 3 – Unobservable pricing input at the measurement date for the asset or liability. Unobservable inputs shall be used to measure fair value to the extent that observable inputs are not available.

 

In some instances, the inputs used to measure fair value might fall within different levels of the fair value hierarchy. The level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement in its entirety falls shall be determined based on the lowest input level that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. There were no transfers between levels during the nine months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018.

 

 

Revenue Recognition

 

Revenue consists of fees earned through management of investment funds, sale of gourmet meat pies and related bakery confections in New Zealand, security alarm system installation and maintenance services in Canada, and wholesale distribution of hair and skin care products. Revenue is accounted for net of sales taxes, sales returns, trade discounts. Product is considered delivered to the customer once it has been shipped and title, risk of loss and rewards of ownership have been transferred. For most of the Company’s product sales or services, these criteria are met at the time the product is shipped, the subscription period commences, or the management fees are accrued. For our Brigadier subsidiary in Canada, the Company operates under contract with an alarm monitoring company that pays a percentage of their recurring monitoring fee to Brigadier in exchange for continued customer service and support functions with respect to each customer maintained under contract by the monitoring company. 

 

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements - In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued authoritative guidance that set forth a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers. The Company adopted this new standard and its related amendments as of July 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective transition method, whereby the cumulative effect of initially applying the new standard recognized as an adjustment to the opening balance of stockholders equity. Results for reporting periods commencing on or after July 1, 2018 are presented under the new standard, while prior period amounts are not adjusted and continue to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for that prior period. The impact of adoption did not have a material effect on our financial results. The adoption of the new standard impacted the identification of separate obligations for certain sales of security systems and related monitoring sales. The Company generates revenue, in part, through contractual monthly recurring fees received for providing ongoing customer support services to monitoring company clientele. The five-step process governing contract revenue reporting includes:

 

1. Identifying the contract(s) with customers

2. Identifying the performance obligations in the contract

3. Determining the transaction price

4. Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract

5. Recognize revenue when or as the performance obligation is satisfied

 

Transactions involve security systems that are sold outright to the customer where the Company's performance obligations include customer support services and the sale and installation of the security systems. For such arrangements, the Company allocates a portion of the transaction price to each performance obligation based on a relative stand-alone selling price. Revenue associated with the sale and installation of security systems is recognized once installation is complete, and is reflected as security alarm revenue in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Revenue associated with customer support services is recognized as those services are provided, and is included as a component of security alarm revenue in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, which for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2019, were approximately $181 thousand and $545 thousand, respectively, or approximately 22% and 23%, of the total security alarm revenues. These revenues for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2019 account for approximately 3% and 3%, respectively, of total consolidated revenues. None of the other subsidiaries of the Company generate revenues from long term contracts.

 

Because the Company has no contract with the end user, and the monthly payments for customer support services are made to the Company by the monitoring company who has a contract with the end user, and end user customers are subject to cancellation through no control of the Company; therefore, no deferred revenues or contingent liability reserves have been established with respect to these contracts. The services are deemed delivered as the obligation is acknowledged on a monthly basis. Other impacts due to adoption of the new standard include a reclassification of certain expenses from selling, general and administrative expense to cost of goods sold. These reclassifications applied to all expenses that are incurred due to receipt of revenues or recording of a sales invoice and included such items as sales commissions, credit card processing fees, technician wages for warranty services, out-bound shipping, and customer support functions. The overall effect was a slight increase to cost of goods sold and an equal reduction in selling, general and administrative expenses with no change in operating income. These reclassifications were applied to all subsidiary companies and had no material effect on a consolidated basis to our condensed consolidated statements of operations.

 

Income Taxes

 

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carry forwards. 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 of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is provided for deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not that these items will either expire before the Company is able to realize their benefits or if future deductibility is uncertain.

 

 

When tax returns are filed, it is highly certain that some positions taken would be sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities, while others are subject to uncertainty about the merits of the position taken or the amount of the position that would be ultimately sustained. The benefit of a tax position is recognized in the financial statements in the period during which, based on all available evidence, management believes it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including the resolution of appeals or litigation processes, if any. Tax positions taken are not offset or aggregated with other positions. Tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold are measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50 percent likely of being realized upon settlement with the applicable taxing authority. The portion of the benefits associated with tax positions taken that exceeds the amount measured as described above is reflected as a liability for unrecognized tax benefits in the balance sheets along with any associated interest and penalties that would be payable to the taxing authorities upon examination. Applicable interest and penalties associated with unrecognized tax benefits are classified as additional income taxes in the statements of operations. 

 

Marketing and Advertising Costs

 

The Company expenses the cost of marketing and advertising as incurred. Marketing and advertising costs for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2019 were approximately $0.7 million and $2.3 million, respectively, as compared to approximately $1.0 million and $2.7 million for the three and nine month periods ended March 31, 2018.

 

Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)

 

Foreign Currency Translation

 

We record foreign currency translation adjustments and transaction gains and losses in accordance with ASC 830-30, Foreign Currency Translation . The accounts of Gourmet Foods use the New Zealand dollar as the functional currency. The accounts of Brigadier Security System use the Canadian dollar as the functional currency. Assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate on the balance sheet date, and operating results are translated at the weighted average exchange rate throughout the period. Foreign currency transaction gains and (losses) can also occur if a transaction is settled in a currency other than the entity's functional currency. Accumulated currency translation gains and (losses) are classified as an item of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in the stockholders’ equity section of the consolidated balance sheet.

 

Short-Term Investment Valuation

 

In January 2016, the FASB issued authoritative guidance related to the accounting for equity investments, financial liabilities under the fair value option, and the presentation and disclosure requirements for financial instruments. Under the new guidance, equity investments with readily determinable fair values, except those accounted for under the equity method, will be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in earnings rather than other comprehensive income (loss). In addition, this update clarifies the guidance related to the valuation allowance assessment when recognizing deferred tax assets resulting from the unrealized losses on certain debt securities. The Company adopted this guidance effective on July 1, 2018. See Recent Accounting Pronouncements below related to July 1, 2018 reclassification of accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings. Besides this reclassification there was no material impact to Consolidated Financial Statements as a result of the adoption.

 

Segment Reporting

 

The Company defines operating segments as components about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performances. The Company allocates its resources and assesses the performance of its sales activities based on the geographic locations of its subsidiaries (Refer to Note 17 of the Financial Statements).

 

Business Combinations

 

We allocate the fair value of purchase consideration to the tangible assets acquired, liabilities assumed and intangible assets acquired based on their estimated fair values. The excess of the fair value of purchase consideration over the fair values of these identifiable assets and liabilities is recorded as goodwill. Such valuations require management to make significant estimates and assumptions, especially with respect to intangible assets. Significant estimates in valuing certain intangible assets include, but are not limited to, future expected cash flows from acquired users, acquired trade names from a market participant perspective, useful lives and discount rates. Management’s estimates of fair value are based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable, but which are inherently uncertain and unpredictable and, as a result, actual results may differ from estimates. During the measurement period, which is one year from the acquisition date, we may record adjustments to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. For the each of the three and nine months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, a determination was made that no adjustments were necessary, except for the amount provisionally recorded to goodwill as related to the purchase of assets by Original Sprout. After the results of an independent valuation of the identifiable intangible assets were known, the Company's subsidiary Original Sprout restated its purchase price allocation in accordance with the table found in Note 13 to these financial statements.

 

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

On July 1, 2018 the Company adopted ASU 2016-01 Financial Instruments - Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities and Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 606 - Revenue from Contracts with Customers ("ASC 606"). A summary of the effects of the initial adoption of ASU 2016-01 and ASC 606 follows:

The above (“ASU 2016-01”) entry reclasses accumulated gains from changes in short-term investment valuations previously recorded in comprehensive income to retained earnings. ASU 2016-01 requires that unrealized gains and losses arising from changes in market values of our investments in equity securities be recorded in the condensed consolidated statements of operations rather than in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) on the balance sheet. Prior to July 1- 2018, investment gains and losses related to equity securities were reflected on the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income.

 

The Company has reviewed new accounting pronouncements issued between September 28, 2018, the filing date of our most recent prior Annual Report on Form 10-K, and the filing date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and has determined that no new pronouncements issued are relevant to the Company, and/or have, or will have, a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or disclosure requirements.

 

 

 

NOTE 3.

BASIC AND DILUTED NET INCOME PER SHARE

 

Basic net income per share is based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted net income per share is based on the assumption that all dilutive convertible shares and stock options were converted or exercised. Dilution is computed by applying the treasury stock method. Under this method, options and warrants are assumed to be exercised at the beginning of the period (or at the time of issuance, if later), and as if funds obtained thereby were used to purchase common stock at the average market price during the period.

 

Diluted net income per share reflects the effects of shares potentially issuable upon conversion of convertible preferred stock.

 

The components of basic and diluted earnings per share were as follows:

BRAND NAME

 

On August 11, 2015, the Company acquired Gourmet Foods. The fair value on the acquired brand name was estimated to be $61,429 and is amortized over the remaining useful life of 10 years. On June 2, 2016, the Company acquired Brigadier Security Systems. The fair value on the acquired brand name was estimated to be $340,694 and is amortized over the remaining useful life of 10 years. On December 18, 2017 the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Kahnalytics, Inc., acquired Original Sprout LLC. The fair value of the acquired brand name was determined to be $740,000 and is considered to have an indefinite life. Unlike the brand names of Gourmet Foods and Brigadier Security Systems, Original Sprout is an actual product name and recognized associated brand that is identifiable to consumers of the product and is the basis of the value proposition. That brand name will forever be associated with the product offering unless and until such time in the future as the Company may elect to discontinue use of the brand and move towards establishment of an alternate product offering. Therefore, the Company will test for impairment of the brand name “Original Sprout” at each reporting interval with no amortization recognized. As of December 31, 2018 no impairment was recorded.

NOTE 7.

INVESTMENTS AND FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

 

Wainwright, from time to time, provides initial investments in the creation of ETP funds that Wainwright manages. Wainwright classifies these investments as current assets as these investments are generally sold within one year from the balance sheet date. Investments in which no controlling financial interest exists, but significant influence exists are recorded as per the equity method of investment accounting. As of December 31, 2018, and June 30, 2018, there were no investments requiring the equity method investment accounting.

 

With respect to ASU 2016-01, we reclassified net after-tax unrealized gains on equity securities as of June 30, 2018 from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings. We continue to carry our investments in equity securities at fair value and there is no change to the asset values or total shareholders’ equity that we would have otherwise recorded. Beginning July 1, 2018 we are including unrealized gains and losses arising from the changes in the fair values of our equity securities as a component of investment gains and losses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. ASU 2016-01 prohibited the restatement of prior year financial statements and for periods ending prior to 2018, unrealized gains and losses from the changes in fair value of available-for-sale equity securities were recorded in other comprehensive income.

 

Investments measured at estimated fair value consist of the following as of March 31, 2019 and June 30, 2018:

BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

 

Acquisition of the assets of The Original Sprout, LLC

 

Kahnalytics, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Concierge Technologies domiciled in California, was founded during May 2015 for the purpose of carrying on the residual business from the disposal of Concierge Technologies' former subsidiary, Wireless Village dba/Janus Cam. As that business segment slowly wound down over the ensuing two years, management began a search for another business opportunity for Kahnalytics. Accordingly, on December 18, 2017, Kahnalytics acquired all of the assets of The Original Sprout, LLC, a California limited liability company. Simultaneous with the acquisition, Kahnalytics registered a "doing business as" (or "dba") name of “Original Sprout” and transitioned its business to the manufacture, warehousing and wholesale distribution of non-toxic, vegan, hair and skin care products under the brand name Original Sprout. The acquisition by Kahnalytics was financed through a non-interest bearing note from Concierge Technologies. The purchase price was approximately $3.5 million with payments to be made over the course of a twelve-month period and per the estimated allocation as depicted in the following table.

The balance of the purchase price, $1,250,000, subject to downward adjustment for prior payments, resulted in a balance of $1,160,000 which was paid on January 5, 2019.

NOTE 15.

INCOME TAXES

 

The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method, which recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their financial statement reported amounts, and for net operating losses and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred income 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 Company records a valuation allowance against deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that such asset will not be realized. The Company continues to monitor the likelihood that it will be able to recover its deferred tax assets. If recovery is not likely, the Company must increase its provision for income taxes by recording a valuation allowance against the deferred tax assets.

 

The Company accounts for uncertain tax positions in accordance with the authoritative guidance on income taxes under which the Company may only recognize or continue to recognize tax positions that meet a "more likely than not" threshold. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as a component of the provision for income taxes.

 

As of March 31, 2019, the Company's total unrecognized tax benefits were approximately $0.3 million, which would affect the effective tax rate if recognized. The Company will recognize interest and penalties, when they occur, related to uncertain tax positions as a component of tax expense. There is no interest or penalties to be recognized for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2019 or 2018.

 

The Company is required to make its best estimate of the annual effective tax rate for the full fiscal year and use that rate to provide for income taxes on a current year-to-date basis. The Company recorded a tax provision of $0.2 million and $1.1 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 differed from the statutory rate primarily due to the mix of non-deductible items. The effective tax rate could fluctuate in the future due to changes in the taxable income mix between various jurisdictions.

 

The Company is subject to income taxes in the U.S. federal, various states, Canada and New Zealand tax jurisdictions. Tax regulations within each jurisdiction are subject to the interpretation of the related tax laws and regulations and require significant judgment to apply. The Company’s U.S. tax years 2014 through 2018 will remain open for examination by the federal and state authorities which is three and four years, respectively. The Company’s tax years from acquisition through 2018 remain open for examination by Canada and New Zealand authorities which is four years. As of March 31, 2019, there were no active taxing authority examinations.

NOTE 17.

SEGMENT REPORTING

 

With the acquisition of Wainwright Holdings, Gourmet Foods, Ltd., Brigadier, and the launch of the Original Sprout business unit of Kahnalytics, the Company has identified four segments for its products and services; U.S.A. investment fund management, U.S.A. beauty products, New Zealand food industry and Canada security alarm systems. Our reportable segments are business units located in different global regions. The Company’s operations in the U.S.A. include the manufacture and wholesale distribution of hair and skin care products by Original Sprout and the income derived from management of various investment funds by our subsidiary Wainwright. In New Zealand operations include the production, packaging and distribution on a commercial scale of gourmet meat pies and related bakery confections through our wholly owned subsidiary Gourmet Foods, Ltd. and in Canada we provide security alarm system installation and maintenance services to residential and commercial customers sold through our wholly owned subsidiary Brigadier. Separate management of each segment is required because each business unit is subject to different operational issues and strategies due to their particular regional location. The Company accounts for intra-company sales and expenses as if the sales or expenses were to third parties and eliminates them in the consolidation. Amounts are adjusted for currency translation as of the balance sheet date and presented in US dollars.

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

 

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the condensed financial statements and the accompanying notes thereto and is qualified in its entirety by the foregoing and by more detailed financial information appearing elsewhere in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q. See "Financial Statements."

 

 

Overview

 

Concierge Technologies, Inc. (“Concierge”) or the (“Company”) conducts business through its wholly-owned operating subsidiaries operating in the U.S., New Zealand and Canada, respectively. The operations of the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries are more particularly described herein but are summarized as follows:

 

 

Wainwright Holdings, Inc. (“Wainwright”), a U.S. based company, is the sole member of two investment services limited liability company subsidiaries, United States Commodity Funds LLC (“USCF”), and USCF Advisers LLC (“USCF Advisers”), each of which manages, operates or is an investment advisor to exchange traded funds organized as limited partnerships or investment trusts that issue shares which trade on the NYSE Arca stock exchange.

 

Gourmet Foods, Ltd. (“Gourmet Foods”), a New Zealand based company, manufactures and distributes New Zealand meat pies on a commercial scale.

 

Brigadier Security Systems (“Brigadier”), a Canadian based company, sells and installs commercial and residential alarms and monitoring systems.

 

Kahnalytics, Inc. dba/Original Sprout (“Original Sprout”), a U.S. based company, is engaged in the wholesale distribution of hair and skin care products under the brand name Original Sprout on a global scale. The former business of Kahnalytics, providing live-streaming mobile video on a subscription basis, was insignificant and was terminated in 2017 after transitioning to the current business of distributing hair and skin care products.

 

 

Results of Operations

 

Concierge and Subsidiaries

 

For the Three Months Ended March 31, 201 9 Compared to the Three Months Ended March 31, 201 8

 

Operating Income

 

Concierge produced an operating income for the three months ended March 31, 2019 of approximately $0.2 million as compared to approximately $0.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018.

 

Other Expenses and Income Taxes

 

Other (expense) were ($3) thousand and ($199) thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Provision for income taxes of $84 thousand compared to $23 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, was a result of new federal income tax laws taking effect as of January 1, 2018, but having an effect on tax provisions recorded for prior quarters and the overall estimated tax for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2018. After recording a provision for income tax, net income for the three month periods ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 was $76 thousand and $0.8 thousand, respectively. After giving consideration to currency translation gains of approximately $45 thousand, the comprehensive income for the three months ended March 31, 2019 was approximately $121 thousand as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2018 where the currency translation loss was approximately ($52) thousand, the changes in short term investment valuation was approximately $269 thousand, and the comprehensive income was approximately $218 thousand.

 

For the Nine Months Ended March 31, 201 9 Compared to the Nine Months Ended March 31, 201 8

 

Operating Income

 

Concierge produced an operating income for the nine months ended March 31, 2019 of approximately $0.8 million as compared to approximately $2.2 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2018. This represents a decrease in operating income of approximately $1.4 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2019 when compared to the nine months ended March 31, 2018, or approximately 65%. The decrease in operating income is attributed to lower Wainwright revenue due to lower assets under management.

 

Other Expenses and Income Taxes  

 

Other expenses were ($173) thousand and ($240) thousand for the nine months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. A reduction in provision for income taxes to $0.2 million compared to $1.1 million was recorded for the nine months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The resulting net income for the nine months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 was $0.4 million and $0.9 million, respectively. After giving consideration to currency translation loss of approximately $14 thousand, the comprehensive income for the nine months ended March 31, 2019 was approximately $0.4 million as compared to the nine months ended March 31, 2018 where the currency translation loss was approximately ($55) thousand, the gains in short term investment valuation were approximately $189 thousand, and the comprehensive income was approximately $1 million.

Wainwright’s revenue and expenses are primarily driven by the amount of Fund assets under management (“AUM”). Wainwright earns monthly management and advisory fees based on agreements with each Fund as determined by the contractual basis point management fee structure in each agreement multiplied by the average AUM over the given period. Many of the company’s expenses are dependent upon the amount of AUM. These variable expenses include Fund administration, custody, accounting, transfer agency, marketing and distribution, and sub-adviser fees and are primarily determined by multiplying contractual fee rates by AUM. Total Operating Expenses are grouped into the following financial statement line items: General and Administrative, Marketing, Operations and Salaries and Compensation.

 

For the Three Months Ended March 31, 201 9 , Compared to the Three Months Ended March 31, 201 8

 

Revenue

 

Average AUM for the three months ended March 31, 2019 decreased to $2.6 billion, or 19%, from the three-month average of $3.2 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2018 due to fund redemption (outflow) trading activity exceeding fund creation (inflow) activity in our larger commodity funds. As a result of decreased AUM, revenue decreased 18%, or $0.78 million, to $3.57 million from $4.35 million over the respective three-month period.

 

Expenses

 

Wainwright’s total operating expenses for three months ended March 31, 2019 decreased by $0.61 million to $3.37 million, or 15%, from $3.98 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018. Variable expenses, as described above, decreased $0.16 million over the respective three-month period due to lower overall AUM. General and Administrative expenses decreased $0.14 million to $0.55 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 from $0.69 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018 due to lower fund expense waivers, professional fees and T&E expenses. Marketing expenses had a decrease of $0.34 million to $0.58 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 as compared to the comparable prior year period due to a reduction in advertising expenses and variable distribution costs as a result of lower AUM. Employee salaries and compensation expenses were approximately $1.07 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to $1.04 million for the comparable prior year period.

 

Income

 

Income before taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2019 decreased $5 thousand to $0.19 million from $0.20 million for three months ended March 31, 2018 primarily due to the $0.78 million decrease in revenue, offset by decreases in operations expenses, marketing and advertising expenses, and general and administrative expenses mentioned above.

 

For the Nine Months Ended March 31, 201 9 , Compared to the Nine Months Ended March 31, 201 8

 

Revenue

 

Average AUM for the nine months ended March 31, 2019 decreased to $2.8 billion, or 21%, from the nine-month average of $3.5 billion for the nine months ended March 31, 2018. As a result of decreased AUM, revenues decreased 18%, or $2.62 million, to $11.73 million from $14.35 million over the respective nine-month period.

 

Expenses

 

Wainwright’s total Operating Expenses for nine months ended March 31, 2019 decreased by $1.16 million to $10.74 million, or 10%, from $11.90 million for nine months ended March 31, 2018. Variable expenses, as described above, decreased $0.34 million over the respective nine-month period due to lower overall AUM. General and Administrative expenses decreased $0.42 million to $1.59 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2019 from $2.01 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2018 due to decreases in fund expense waiver reimbursements based on contractual expense thresholds for certain funds, lower new fund start up expensesand T&E expenses, partially offset by an increase in professional fees. Marketing expenses had a decrease of $0.63 million to $2.01 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2019 as compared to the comparable prior year period due to lower advertising expenses and lower variable distribution cost as a result of lower AUM.. Employee Salaries and Compensation expenses were $3.46 million, or $35 thousand lower, for the nine months ended March 31, 2019 as compared to the comparable prior year period.

 

Income

 

Income before taxes for the nine months ended March 31, 2019 decreased $1.31 million to $0.83 million from $2.14 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2018 primarily due to the $2.62 million decrease in revenue partially offset by decreases in operations expenses and in general and administrative expenses.

 

 

Gourmet Foods, Ltd.

 

Gourmet Foods Limited (“Gourmet Foods”), was organized in its current form in 2005 (previously known as Pats Pantry Ltd). Pats Pantry was founded in 1966 to produce and sell wholesale bakery products, meat pies and patisserie cakes and slices, in New Zealand. Gourmet Foods, located in Tauranga, New Zealand, sells substantially all of its goods to supermarkets and service station chains with stores located throughout New Zealand. Gourmet Foods also has a large number of smaller independent lunch bars, cafes and corner dairies among the customer list, however they comprise a relatively insignificant dollar volume in comparison to the primary accounts of large distributors and retailers.

 

Gourmet Foods operates exclusively in New Zealand and thus the New Zealand dollar is its functional currency. In order to consolidate Concierge’s reporting currency, the US dollar, with that of Gourmet Foods, Concierge records foreign currency translation adjustments and transaction gains and losses in accordance with ASC 830-30. The translation of New Zealand currency into U.S. dollars is performed for balance sheet accounts using the exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date and for revenue and expense accounts using a weighted average exchange rate during the period. Gains and losses resulting from the foreign currency translations are included in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income found on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

 

For the Three Months Ended March 31, 201 9 Compared to the Three Months Ended March 31, 201 8

 

Net revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2019 were $1.1 million with cost of goods sold of $0.7 million resulting in a gross profit of $0.4 million as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2018 where net revenues were $1.2 million; cost of goods sold were $0.8 million; and gross profit was $0.4 million.

 

General, administrative and selling expenses, including wages and marketing, for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and the three months ended March 31, 2018 were $0.2 million and $0.3 million producing operating income of $138 thousand and $160 thousand, respectively, or approximately 12% net operating profit for three months ended March 31, 2019 as compared to 13% for the three months ended March 31, 2018.

 

The depreciation expense, income tax provision and other income totaled $74 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2019 as compared to $58 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2018, resulting in income after income taxes of approximately $64 thousand as compared to income after income taxes of approximately $102 thousand, respectively.

 

For the Nine Months Ended March 31, 201 9 Compared to the Nine Months Ended March 31, 201 8

 

Net revenues for the nine months ended March 31, 2019 were $3.5 million with cost of goods sold of $2.5 million resulting in a gross profit of $1 million as compared to the nine months ended March 31, 2018 where net revenues were $3.8 million; cost of goods sold were $2.6 million; and gross profit was $1.2 million.

 

General, administrative and selling expenses, including wages and marketing, for the nine months ended March 31, 2019 and the nine months ended March 31, 2018 were $0.6 million and $0.9 million producing operating income of $333 thousand and $325 thousand, respectively, or approximately 10% net operating profit for nine months ended March 31, 2019 as compared to 9% for the nine months ended March 31, 2018.

 

The depreciation expense, income tax provision and other income totaled $225 thousand for the nine months ended March 31, 2019 as compared to $204 thousand for the nine months ended March 31, 2018, resulting in income after income taxes of approximately $106 thousand as compared to income after income taxes of approximately $121 thousand, respectively.

 

Overall, net profit margins for the comparative periods are consistent and differences are attributed to depreciation expense, varying income tax expense and the fluctuation of currency exchange rates with the New Zealand dollar.

 

Brigadier Security Systems (2000) Ltd.

 

Brigadier Security Systems (2000) Ltd. (“Brigadier”) was founded in 1985 and through internal growth and acquisitions the core business of Brigadier began in 1998. Today Brigadier is one of the largest SecurTek security monitoring dealers in Saskatchewan with offices in both major urban areas of Regina (dba Elite Security Systems (2005) Ltd.) and Saskatoon. SecurTek is owned by SaskTel which is Saskatchewan's leading Information and Communications Technology (ICT) provider with over 1.4 million customer connections across Canada. Brigadier is also a Honeywell Certified Access Control Integrator, Kantech Corporate Certified Integrator and UTC Interlogix authorized dealer and the largest independent security contractor in the province. Brigadier provides comprehensive security solutions including access control, camera systems, and intrusion alarms to home and business owners as well as government offices, schools and public buildings. Brigadier typically sells hardware and a monitoring contract to customers. Under the terms of its authorized dealer contract with the monitoring company, Brigadier earns monthly payments during the term of the monitoring contract in exchange for performance of customer service activities on behalf of the monitoring company.

 

 

Brigadier operates exclusively in Canada and thus the Canadian dollar is its functional currency. In order to consolidate Concierge’s reporting currency, the U.S. dollar, with that of Brigadier, Concierge records foreign currency translation adjustments and transaction gains and losses in accordance with ASC 830-30. The translation of Canadian currency into U.S. dollars is performed for balance sheet accounts using the exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date and for revenue and expense accounts using a weighted average exchange rate during the period. Gains and losses resulting from the foreign currency translations are included in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income found on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

 

For the Three Months Ended March 31, 201 9 Compared to the Three Months Ended March 31, 201 8

  

Net revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2019 were $0.8 million with cost of goods sold recorded as $0.4 million, resulting in a gross profit of $0.4 million, or approximately 45%, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2018 where net revenues were $0.6 million with cost of goods sold of $0.3 million and a gross profit of $0.3 million, or approximately 50%. The decrease in gross profit margin for the current period is due to changes in accounting guidelines whereby certain operating expenses have now been reclassified to cost of goods sold, thus reducing gross profit and operating expenses equally with no effect to overall operating income.

 

General, administrative and selling expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2019 were $0.3 million producing an operating profit of $107 thousand or approximately 13% as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2018 where general, administrative and selling expenses of $0.3 million produced an operating loss of $26 thousand, or approximately (5%).

 

Other income comprised of depreciation, income tax, interest income, commission income and gain on sale of assets totaled $28 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2019 resulting in income after income taxes of $78 thousand as compared to a net loss of $11 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2018 where other expense totaled $14 thousand.

 

For the Nine Months Ended March 31, 201 9 Compared to the Nine Months Ended March 31, 201 8

  

Net revenues for the nine months ended March 31, 2019 were $2.4 million with cost of goods sold recorded as approximately $1.3 million, resulting in a gross profit of approximately $1.1 million, or approximately 45%, as compared to the nine months ended March 31, 2018 where net revenues were approximately $2.5 million with cost of goods sold of $1.2 million and a gross profit of $1.3 million, or approximately 50%.

 

General, administrative and selling expenses for the nine months ended March 31, 2019 were $0.7 million producing an operating profit of $0.4 million or approximately 16% as compared to the nine months ended March 31, 2018 where operating profits were $0.4 million, or approximately 16%, with general, administrative and selling expenses of $0.8 million.

 

Other expense comprised of depreciation, income tax, interest income, commission income and gain on sale of assets totaled $97 thousand for the nine months ended March 31, 2019 resulting in income after income taxes of $0.3 million as compared to income after income taxes of $0.3 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2018 where other expense totaled $75 thousand.

 

Original Sprout 

 

Kahnalytics was founded in 2015 and adopted the dba/Original Sprout in December 2017 (see Note 13 to the Consolidated Financial Statements). For the three and six month periods ended December 31, 2017, Kahnalytics had incurred de minimis operating losses insignificant to the overall enterprise. Prior to the acquisition of the Original Sprout assets on December 18, 2017, and as of December 31, 2017, the residual business the company was founded to oversee was being wound down as management made preparations to transition focus to another industry. As a result, there is no meaningful comparative data for the nine month period ending March 31, 2018 as business operations did not begin until the end of December 2017. 

 

For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2019 Compared to the Three Months Ended March 31, 2018

 

Net revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2019 were approximately $750 thousand with cost of goods sold recorded of approximately $422 thousand producing a gross profit of approximately $328 thousand and a gross margin of approximately 44% as compared to net revenues of $655 thousand, cost of goods sold $344 thousand and a gross profit of approximately $311 thousand, or gross margin of 47%, for the three months ended March 31, 2018. General, administrative and selling expenses for the three month periods ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 were approximately $212 thousand and $267 thousand, respectively, resulting in an operating income of approximately $116 thousand and $44 thousand, respectively, or 16% and 7%. For the three month periods ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, other income and expenses including income tax provision, depreciation and amortization of intangible assets, and interest charges totaled approximately $70 thousand and $148 thousand, respectively. The net income for the three month period ended March 31, 2019 was approximately $46 thousand as compared to a loss for the three month period ending March 31, 2018 of approximately $104 thousand.

 

 

For the Nine Months Ended March 31, 2019

 

Net revenues for the nine months ended March 31, 2019 were $2.5 million with cost of goods sold recorded of approximately $1.4 million producing a gross profit of approximately $1.1 million and a gross margin of approximately 44%. General, administrative and selling expenses were approximately $0.6 million, resulting in an operating income of approximately $0.5 million or 18%. After consideration given to other income and expenses, including income tax expense, depreciation and amortization of intangible assets, and interest charges of approximately $218 thousand, the net income for the nine months ended March 31, 2019 was approximately $0.3 million.

 

 

Plan of Operation for the Next Twelve Months

 

Our plan of operation for the next twelve months is to apply necessary resources into the business of Original Sprout to grow that business segment to its potential. Additionally, we are expecting moderate growth in Brigadier through focused management initiatives and consolidation within the security industry. Similarly, we expect Gourmet Foods to be operating more efficiently under current management and continue to increase market share through additional product offerings and channels to market, including distribution in New Zealand of the products from Original Sprout. Wainwright will continue to develop innovative and new fund products to grow its portfolio. Our long-term mission is to continue with our acquisition strategy by identifying and acquiring profitable, mature, companies of a diverse nature and with in-place management to produce increasing revenue streams. By these initiatives we hope to:

 

 

 

continue to gain market share for our wholly-owned subsidiaries’ areas of operation,

 

increase our gross revenues and realize net operating profits,

 

lower our operating costs by unburdening certain selling expenses to third party distributors,

 

become less reliant on any one industry segment for our working capital,

 

attract parties who have an interest in selling their privately held companies to us,

 

achieve efficiencies in accounting and reporting through consolidated operations of our subsidiaries from a management perspective, and

 

strategically pursue additional company acquisitions.

 

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources 

 

Concierge is a holding company that conducts its operations through its subsidiaries. At its holding-company level, its liquidity needs relate to operational expenses and the funding of additional business acquisitions. Our operating subsidiaries' principal liquidity requirements arise from cash used in operating activities, debt service, and capital expenditures, including purchases of equipment and services, operating costs and expenses, and income taxes.

 

As of March 31, 2019, we had $8.7 million of cash and cash equivalents on a consolidated basis as compared to $7.5 million as of June 30, 2018. Over the nine month period ending March 31, 2019, we have also reduced our liability balances in accounts payable, equipment loans and purchase price payable resulting in an increase in stockholder equity of approximately $0.5 million. The Company continued to build working capital over the nine month period ending March 31, 2019 by approximately $0.8 million to $12.3 million, or 7%, over the $11.5 million recorded as of June 30, 2018.

 

Borrowings

 

As of March 31, 2019, we had $0.7 million of related-party and third-party indebtedness on a consolidated basis as compared to $0.8 million as of June 30, 2018. Concierge, without inclusion of its subsidiary companies, as of March 31, 2019 and June 30, 2018, had $0.6 million of indebtedness. We are not required to make interest payments on our notes until the maturity date.

 

Current related party notes payable consist of the following:

 

   

March 31,

2019

   

June 30,

2018

 

Notes payable to shareholder, interest rate of 8%, unsecured and payable on December 31, 2012 (past due)

    3,500       3,500  

Notes payable to shareholder, interest rate of 4%, unsecured and payable on May 25, 2022

    250,000       250,000  

Notes payable to shareholder, interest rate of 4%, unsecured and payable on April 8, 2022

    350,000       350,000  
    $ 603,500     $ 603,500  

 

On April 8, 2016 and May 25, 2016, the Company entered into convertible promissory note agreements (the “Promissory Notes”) with the Gerber Irrevocable Family Trust, an affiliate of our shareholder and CEO, that resulted in the funding of $350,000 and with the Schoenberger Family Trust, an affiliate of our shareholder and director, that resulted in the funding of $250,000, respectively. The Promissory Notes bear interest at four percent (4%) per annum and increases to nineteen percent (19%) in the event of default by the Company. The Company and the noteholder negotiated the interest rate at arm’s length relying upon the available market rate for long-term deposits at financial institutions as well as the current rate of return realized by the noteholder for cash deposits currently held. Larger deposits traditionally fall into a “Jumbo” rate category with marginally higher returns. Interest ranged from annual percentage rates of 0.01% at the lowest to 1.75% at the highest. Recognizing the unsecured nature of the promissory note, and the historical record of continued operating losses by the Company, a rate of 4 percent annual interest was agreed upon in light of the heightened default risk over traditional investment instruments. There was no beneficial conversion feature identified as of the date of issuance of the Promissory Notes.

 

 

During the prior eighteen months, our subsidiary Brigadier has been purchasing new service vehicles to replace the aging leased vehicle fleet. The new vehicles are, in part, financed by a Saskatchewan-based bank through an installment loan agreement related to each vehicle collateralized individually as the vehicles are delivered. As of March 31, 2019, Brigadier had, in the aggregate, an outstanding principal balance of CD$122,643 (approximately US$91,923). The loan principal together with interest is amortized over 60 equal monthly installments. (Refer to Note 12 in the Consolidated Financial Statements)

 

Investments

 

Wainwright, from time to time, provides initial investments in the creation of ETP funds that Wainwright manages. Wainwright classifies these investments as current assets as these investments are generally sold within one year from the balance sheet date. These investments are described further in Note 7 to our Financial Statements.

 

Reverse Stock Split

 

Our Board and the majority stockholders previously approved the adoption of a one-for-thirty (1:30) reverse stock split whereby each thirty shares of our common stock and Series B Preferred stock issued and outstanding as of the record date established by the Board shall be combined into one share of common stock or preferred stock, as applicable (the “Reverse Stock Split”). The Reverse Stock Split became effective as of December 15, 2017. All share-based numbers have been retroactively adjusted for the reverse stock split. See Note 14 to our Financial Statements.
