2. Basis of Presentation

The accompanying interim consolidated balance sheet and statement of stockholders’ equity as of September 30, 2017, and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss and cash flows for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, are unaudited. The unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared according to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and, therefore, certain information and disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States have been omitted.

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements for the periods presented reflect all adjustments, which are normal and recurring, necessary to fairly state the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows. These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016 filed with the SEC.

Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2017.

3. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In July 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2017-11, Earnings Per Share (Topic 260) Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (Topic 480) Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815) (“ASU 2017-11”) , which changes the classification analysis of certain equity-linked financial instruments (or embedded features) with down round features. When determining whether certain financial instruments should be classified as liabilities or equity instruments, a down round feature no longer precludes equity classification when assessing whether the instrument is indexed to an entity’s own stock. ASU 2014-11 also clarifies existing disclosure requirements for equity-classified instruments. As a result, a freestanding equity-linked financial instrument (or embedded conversion option) no longer would be accounted for as a derivative liability at fair value as a result of the existence of a down round feature. For freestanding equity classified financial instruments, ASU 2017-11 requires entities that present earnings per share (EPS) in accordance with ASC Topic 260 to recognize the effect of the down round feature when it is triggered. That effect is treated as a dividend and as a reduction of income available to common shareholders in basic EPS. ASU 2017-11 is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. If an entity early adopts ASU 2017-11 in an interim period, any adjustments should be reflected as of the beginning of the fiscal year that includes that interim period in either of the following ways: (1) Retrospectively to outstanding financial instruments with a down round feature by means of a cumulative-effect adjustment to the statement of financial position as of the beginning of the first fiscal year and interim period(s) in which ASU 2017-11 is effective or (2) Retrospectively to outstanding financial instruments with a down round feature for each reporting period presented in accordance with the guidance on accounting changes in paragraphs 250-10-45-5 through 45-10.

The Company has elected to early adopt ASU 2017-11 during the three months ended September 30, 2017 by applying ASU 2017-11 retrospectively to outstanding financial instruments with a down round feature for each prior reporting period presented which includes the quarter ended September 30, 2016 in accordance with the guidance on accounting changes in paragraphs 250-10-45-5 through 45-10. (See Note 19).

within those fiscal years, with earlier application permitted. Upon adoption, the lessee will apply the ne w standard retrospectively to all periods presented or retrospectively using a cumulative effect adjustment in the year of adoption. The Company will be evaluating the impact of this guidance on our consolidated financial statements.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) . The amendments to this Update supersede nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance under U.S. GAAP. The core principle of this Topic is to recognize revenues when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration that is expected to be received for those goods or services. This Topic defines a five-step process to achieve this core principle and, in doing so, it is possible more judgment and estimates may be required within the revenue recognition process than required under existing U.S. GAAP, including identifying performance obligations in the contract, estimating the amount of variable consideration to include in the transaction price and allocating the transaction price to each separate performance obligation. In July 2015, the FASB deferred the effective date for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017 (including interim reporting periods within those periods). Early adoption is permitted to the original effective date of December 15, 2016 (including interim reporting periods within those periods). The amendments may be applied retrospectively to each prior period presented or retrospectively with the cumulative effect recognized as of the date of initial application. The Company will be evaluating the impact of this guidance on our consolidated financial statements.

4. Going Concern Evaluation

In connection with preparing consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, management evaluated whether there were conditions and events, considered in the aggregate, that raised substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year from the date that the financial statements are issued.

The Company considered the following:

•

Operating losses for ten consecutive quarters.

•

Negative cash flow from operating activities for six consecutive quarters.

•

Depressed stock price resulting in being non-compliant with NASDAQ listing rules to maintain a stock price of $1.00/share.

•

Stockholders’ equity being less than $2.5 million at March 31, 2017 and June 30, 2017 resulting in being non-compliant with NASDAQ listing rules.

Ordinarily, conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern relate to the entity’s ability to meet its obligations as they become due.

The Company evaluated its ability to meet its obligations as they become due within one year from the date that the financial statements are issued by considering the following:

•

The Company raised $4 million of debt financing during the year ended December 31, 2016.

•

The Company has raised funds from short-term loans from insiders.

•

As a result of the Company’s restructurings that were implemented during the three months ended December 31, 2016, and again during the six months ended June 30, 2017, the Company’s cost structure is now in line with its future revenue projections. See Footnote 11 below for additional details regarding restructurings.

•

On September 29, 2017, the Company completed a $5.5 million preferred stock transaction, which converted $2.8 million of long term and short-term debt (face value) into equity and raised $2.7 million of new equity capital.

Management believes that the Company will generate enough cash from operations to satisfy its obligations for the next twelve months.

The Company will take the following actions, if it starts to trend unfavorably to its internal profitability and cash flow projections, in order to mitigate conditions or events that would raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern:

•

Raise additional funds through short-term loans.

•

Implement additional restructuring and cost reductions.

•

Raise additional capital through a private placement.

•

Secure a commercial bank line of credit.

•

Dispose of one or more product lines.

•

Sell or license intellectual property.

5. Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents are primarily held in two financial institutions and are uninsured except for the minimum Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation coverage and have original maturity dates of three months or less. As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, bank balances totaling approximately $3.7 million and $2.1 million, respectively, were uninsured.

6. Accounts Receivable

The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and generally does not require collateral. The Company maintains reserves for estimated credit losses and those losses have been within management’s estimates. Allowances for product returns are included in other adjustments to accounts receivable on the consolidated balance sheets. Product returns are estimated based on historical experience and management estimations.

The Company is utilizing the accounts receivable balances to secure the related party short-term notes payable.

7. Impairment or Disposal of Long Lived Assets

Long-lived assets to be held are reviewed for events or changes in circumstances, which indicate that their carrying value may not be recoverable. They are tested for recoverability using undiscounted cash flows to determine whether or not impairment to such value has occurred as required by FASB ASC Topic No. 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment . The Company determined there was no impairment as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016.

8. Equipment and Improvements

Equipment and improvements are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method based on the estimated useful lives of the assets, generally ranging from three to seven years. Leasehold improvements are amortized using the straight-line method over the shorter of the estimated useful life of the asset or the lease term.

9. Goodwill

In accordance with FASB ASC Topic No. 350, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other , we review the recoverability of the carrying value of goodwill at least annually or whenever events or circumstances indicate a potential impairment. The Company’s impairment testing will be done annually at December 31. Recoverability of goodwill is determined by comparing the fair value of the Company’s reporting units to the carrying value of the underlying net assets in the reporting units. If the fair value of a reporting unit is determined to be less than the carrying value of its net assets, goodwill is deemed impaired and an impairment loss is recognized to the extent that the carrying value of goodwill exceeds the difference between the fair value of the reporting unit and the fair value of its other assets and liabilities. The Company determined that there was no goodwill impairment at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016.

10. Intangible Assets

The following table sets forth our acquired intangible assets by major asset class as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 (in thousands except for useful life data):

On March 31, 2017, the Company entered into a new short-term secured borrowing arrangement with Elfman for $1 million which matured on June 23, 2017.

On June 30, 2017, the Company entered into a new short-term secured borrowing arrangement with each of Smith and Elfman to refinance the prior arrangement with each of them, which matured on June 26, 2017 and June 23, 2017, respectively. Under the new

borrowing arrangements, the Company issued to each of Smith and Elfman a new Secured Promissory Note (“Replacement Notes”) with a principal balance of $1 milli on, bearing interest at the rate of 12% per annum, and maturing on September 25, 2017. The maturity date of the Replacement Note entered into with Smith may be extended by up to 180 days upon the mutual consent of the Company and Smith. Each of the Replac ement Notes are secured by the Company’s accounts receivable and certain other assets.

On August 22, 2017, the Company entered into Amendments to the Replacement Notes issued to each of Smith and Elfman, which extended the Maturity Date of the Replacement Notes from September 25, 2017 to January 25, 2018. The amendments do not change any other terms of the Replacement Notes.

On August 23, 2017, the Company entered into a new borrowing arrangement with Smith, under which the Company borrowed $0.8 million and issued to Smith a new Secured Promissory Note, bearing interest at the rate of 12% per annum, and maturing on January 25, 2018.

On August 24, 2017, the Company entered into a new borrowing arrangement with Andrew Arno (“Arno”), under which the Company borrowed $0.3 million and issued to Arno new Secured Promissory Notes with an aggregate principal balance of $0.3 million, bearing interest at the rate of 12% per annum, and maturing on January 31, 2018. Andrew Arno is a director of the Company.

On September 29, 2017, the Company exchanged shares of the Company’s newly designated Series B 10% Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series B Preferred Stock”) for outstanding short-term indebtedness with a principal amount of $0.8 million owed to Smith and $0.1 million to Arno for 750 and 50 shares, respectively. See Note 19, Equity Transactions, for further details on the Series B Preferred Stock Offering.

The Company reviewed FASB ASC Topic No. 470-50, Debt Extinguishment , to evaluate the debt extinguishment gain incurred from the debt to equity transaction. Upon completion of the evaluation, it was determined that the gain associated with the short-term related party loan extinguishment to Preferred Stock should be accounted for as a capital contribution and was recorded to Stockholder’s Equity. The principal balance of the note and resulting fair value of the equity interest exchanged was $0.8 million. The fair value was reduced by allocated legal fees and other direct issuance costs of $0.1 million, resulting in a net fair value of $0.8 million. The capital contribution related to the gain was the difference between these two amounts, or $0.1 million.

The Company evaluated the refinancing of the short-term debt instruments under FASB ASU Topic No. 470-60, Troubled Debt Restructurings, to determine whether the modification of the debt instruments would be considered a troubled debt restructuring, using the two-step decision tree. The two steps included an assessment of whether the company is experiencing financial difficulties and if the creditors have provided concessions. Upon completion of this review, the Company concluded that the refinancing did not qualify as a troubled debt restructuring.

Long-Term Debt

At September 30, 2017, the aggregate fair value and the carrying value of the Company’s long-term debt was as follows (in thousands):

	As of September 30, 2017				As of December 31, 2016
	Carrying Amount		Fair Value		Carrying Amount		Fair Value
Long-term debt - related party	$	—	$	—	$	1,295	$	1,295
Long-term debt		1,492		1,492		1,295		1,295
Total long-term debt	$	1,492	$	1,492	$	2,590	$	2,590

The carrying value of $1.5 million and $2.6 million are net of debt discount of $0.4 million and $1.2 million and debt issuance costs of $0.1 million and $0.2 million as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.

On September 2, 2016, we entered into a Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement with Unterberg Koller Capital Fund L.P. and William W. and Dieva L. Smith (collectively, the “Investors”), pursuant to which the Company issued and sold to the Investors in a private placement senior subordinated promissory notes in the aggregate principal amount of $4 million (the “Notes”). The Company completed the transactions contemplated by the Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement and issued the Notes on September 6, 2016. The Notes mature three years following the issuance date, or September 6, 2019, and bear interest at the rate of 10% of the outstanding principal balance of the Notes, payable quarterly in cash or shares of the Company’s common stock. The Notes are subordinate and junior in right of payment to the prior payment in full of all claims, whether now existing or arising in the future, of holders of senior debt of the Company, as described in the Notes.

On September 29, 2017, the Company exchanged shares of the Company’s newly designated Series B 10% Convertible Preferred Stock for outstanding long-term indebtedness with a principal amount of $2 million owed to Smith for 2,000 of the Series B Preferre d Stock. See Note 19, Equity Transactions, for further details on the Series B Preferred Stock Offering.

The Company reviewed FASB ASC Topic No. 470-50, Debt Extinguishment , to evaluate the debt extinguishment loss incurred from the transaction. Upon completion of the evaluation, it was determined that the loss associated with the long-term related party loan extinguishment to Preferred Stock should be accounted through the Statement of Operations. The principal balance of the note and resulting fair value of the equity interest transferred was $2 million. The fair value was reduced by legal fees and other direct issuance costs of $0.1 million. The net carrying amount of the long-term note was $1.5 million, which was net of debt issuance costs of $0.1 million and discount of $0.4 million. The extinguishment loss associated with this note was the difference between the net fair value of the equity interest transferred and the net carrying amount of the note being extinguished, which was $0.4 million.

The Company evaluated the conversion of the long-term debt under FASB ASU Topic No. 470-60, Troubled Debt Restructurings , for determining whether the modification of the debt instruments would be considered a troubled debt restructuring, using the two-step decision tree. The two steps included an assessment of whether the company is experiencing financial difficulties and if the creditors have provided concessions. Upon completion of this review, the Company concluded that the refinancing did not qualify as troubled debt restructuring.

13. Net Loss Per Share

The Company calculates earnings per share (“EPS”) as required by FASB ASC Topic No. 260, Earnings Per Share . Basic EPS is calculated by dividing the net income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period, excluding common stock equivalents. Diluted EPS is computed by dividing the net income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period, plus the weighted average number of dilutive common stock equivalents outstanding for the period determined using the treasury-stock method. For periods with a net loss, the dilutive common stock equivalents are excluded from the diluted EPS calculation. For purposes of this calculation, common stock subject to repurchase by the Company, options, and warrants are considered to be common stock equivalents and are only included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share when their effect is dilutive.

On August 15, 2016, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment to its Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of Delaware for the purpose of effecting a reverse stock split (the “Reverse Split”) of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock at a ratio of one (1) share for every four (4) shares outstanding, so that every four (4) outstanding shares of common stock before the Reverse Split represents one (1) share of common stock after the Reverse Split. Proportionate adjustments were made to: (i) the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock available for equity-based awards to be granted in the future under our 2015 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan; (ii) the number of shares that would be owned upon vesting of restricted stock awards and stock options which are outstanding under our 2015 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan and 2005 Stock Option Plan, and the exercise price of any outstanding stock options, and (iii) the number of shares of Common Stock available for purchase under our Preferred Shares Rights Agreement, dated October 16, 2015, between us and Computershare Trust Company, N.A., as rights agent. We have a total of 100,000,000 authorized shares of common stock, which remained unchanged by the reverse stock split. The Reverse Split was approved by the Company’s stockholders at the special meeting held on August 15, 2016 and was effective on August 17, 2016. The Company adjusted shareholders' equity to reflect the reverse stock split by reclassifying an amount equal to the par value of the additional shares arising from the split from common stock to the Additional Paid-in Capital during the third quarter of fiscal 2016, resulting in no net impact to shareholders' equity on our consolidated balance sheets. Fractional shares were rounded down to the nearest whole share. Stockholders received cash in lieu of such fractional shares. All information presented herein has been retrospectively adjusted to reflect the reverse stock split as if it took place as of the earliest period presented.

On September 29, 2017, the Company filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware a Certificate of Designation of Preferences, Rights and Limitations of Series B Preferred Stock of the Company (the “Certificate of Designation”), designating a total of 5,500 shares of Series B Preferred Stock. Under the Certificate of Designation, the shares of Series B Preferred Stock have a stated value of $1,000 per share and are optionally convertible, subject to certain limitations set forth in the Certificate of Designation, into shares of the Company’s Common Stock at a conversion price of $1.14 per share, subject to adjustment in the event of a stock split, stock dividend, combination, reclassification or other recapitalization affecting the Common Stock.

The holders of Series B Preferred Stock are entitled to receive cumulative dividends out of funds legally available thereof at a rate of ten percent (10%) per annum, payable (i) when and as declared by the Board of Directors, in quarterly installments on March 1, June 1, September 1 and December 1, and (ii) upon conversion into Common Stock with respect the Series B Preferred Stock being converted.

Until the date that stockholder approval is obtained, the Certificate of Designation limits the number of shares of Common Stock that are issuable to any holder upon conversion of such holder’s Series B Preferred Stock, such that such issuances would not cause such holder to own in excess of 19.99% of the Company’s issued and outstanding Common Stock. In addition, a holder’s shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall not be converted if, after giving effect to the conversion, such holder and its affiliated persons would own beneficially more than 9.99% of the Company’s Common Stock, subject to adjustment solely at the holder’s discretion upon 61 days’ prior notice to the Company.

14. Stock-Based Compensation

Stock Plans

During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company granted 87,500 shares of restricted stock with a weighted average grant date fair value of $1.11 per share. These costs will be amortized ratably over a period of 0 to 48 months.

As of September 30, 2017, there were 1.7 million shares available for future grants under the 2015 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan

The Company’s most recent six-month offering period ended September 30, 2017 and resulted in 2,000 shares being purchased/granted at a fair value of $0.77 per share. The next six-month offering period began on October 1, 2017 and will end on March 31, 2018. These shares will have a fair value of $0.96 per share.

Stock Compensation

The Company accounts for all stock-based payment awards made to employees and directors based on their fair values, which is recognized as compensation expense over the vesting period using the straight-line method over the requisite service period for each award as required by FASB ASC Topic No. 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation . Restricted stock is valued using the closing stock price on the date of the grant. Options are valued using a Black-Scholes valuation model.

Stock-based non-cash compensation expense related to stock options, restricted stock grants, and the employee stock purchase plan were recorded in the financial statements as follows (in thousands):

15. Fair Value Measurements

The Company measures and discloses fair value measurements as required by FASB ASC Topic No. 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures .

Fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that is determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or a liability. As a basis for considering such assumptions, the FASB establishes a three-tier value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in the valuation methodologies in measuring fair value:

•

Level 1 - Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets

•

Level 2 - Include other inputs that are directly or indirectly observable in the marketplace

•

Level 3 - Unobservable inputs which are supported by little or no market activity

The fair value hierarchy also requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.

As required by FASB ASC Topic No. 820, we measure our cash and cash equivalents at fair value. Our cash equivalents are classified within Level 1 by using quoted market prices utilizing market observable inputs.

The Company early adopted ASU 2017-11 and changed its method of accounting for warrants during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 on a full retrospective basis. (See Note 19).

Per the agreement, the total amount due of $0.3 million is at 0% interest and is payable in twenty equal quarterly installments commencing on January 31, 2017 and ending on October 31, 2021. The balances were $0.3 million as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 and are reported in Accrued liabilities and Deferred rent and other long-term liabilities on the balance sheet.

Litigation

The Company may become involved in various legal proceedings arising from its business activities. While management does not believe the ultimate disposition of these matters will have a material adverse impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations, cash flows, or financial position, litigation is inherently unpredictable, and depending on the nature and timing of these proceedings, an unfavorable resolution could materially affect the Company’s future consolidated results of operations, cash flows, or financial position in a particular period.

Other Contingent Contractual Obligations

During its normal course of business, the Company has made certain indemnities, commitments, and guarantees under which it may be required to make payments in relation to certain transactions. These include: intellectual property indemnities to the Company’s customers and licensees in connection with the use, sale, and/or license of Company products; indemnities to various lessors in connection with facility leases for certain claims arising from such facility or lease; indemnities to vendors and service providers pertaining to claims based on the negligence or willful misconduct of the Company; indemnities involving the accuracy of representations and warranties in certain contracts; and, indemnities to directors and officers of the Company to the maximum extent permitted under the laws of the State of Delaware.

The Company may also issue a guarantee in the form of a standby letter of credit as security for contingent liabilities under certain customer contracts. The duration of these indemnities, commitments, and guarantees varies, and in certain cases, may be indefinite. The majority of these indemnities, commitments, and guarantees may not provide for any limitation of the maximum potential for future payments the Company could be obligated to make. The Company has not recorded any liability for these indemnities, commitments, and guarantees in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

19. Equity Transactions

Preferred Stock Offering

On September 29, 2017, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with several investors for the issuance and sale (the “Offering”) of 5,500 shares of the Company’s newly designated Series B 10% Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series B Preferred Stock”) at a stated value of $1,000 per share, for a total purchase price of $5.5 million. The Series B Preferred Stock is convertible into the Company’s Common Stock at a conversion price of $1.14 per share, which was the closing bid price of the Common Stock on September 28, 2017, or approximately 4,824,562 shares of Common Stock in the aggregate. The holders of Series B Preferred Stock are entitled to receive cumulative dividends out of funds legally available thereof at a rate of ten percent (10%) per annum, payable (i) when and as declared by the Board of Directors, in quarterly installments on March 1, June 1, September 1 and December 1, and (ii) upon conversion into Common Stock with respect the Series B Preferred Stock being converted.

In the event that the trading price of the Company’s Common Stock for 20 consecutive trading days (as determined in the Certificate of Designation) exceeds 400% of the then effective Conversion Price of the Series B Preferred Stock (initially set at $1.14), the Company may force conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock into shares of Common Stock or elect to redeem the Series B Preferred Stock for cash. In addition, upon the occurrence of certain triggering events, each holder of Series B Preferred Stock will have the right to require the Company to redeem such holder’s shares for cash equal to the stated value plus accrued and unpaid dividends and liquidated damages, costs, expenses and other amounts due in respect of the Series B Preferred Stock, and with respect to certain other triggering events, each holder will have the right to increase the dividend rate on such holder’s Series B Preferred Stock to twelve percent (12%) while such triggering event is continuing.

In the Offering, the Company raised gross cash proceeds of $2.7 million, and exchanged outstanding indebtedness with a principal amount of $2.8 million owed to Smith (both long and short-term debt) and $0.1 million owed to Arno. The Offering raised net cash proceeds of $2.5 million (after deducting the placement agent fee and expenses of the Offering). The Company intends to use the net cash proceeds from the Offering for working capital purposes. In connection with the Offering, the Company granted customary registration rights to investors with respect to the resale of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock.

Common Stock Offering

On May 16, 2017, the Company entered into subscription agreements with several investors for the issuance and sale of an aggregate of 2,077,000 shares of its common stock, in a registered direct offering at a purchase price of $1.05 per share. The Shares were offered by the Company pursuant to a shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-215786), which was declared effective on February 10, 2017 by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Also, on May 16, 2017, the Company entered into subscription agreements with four accredited investors in a private placement pursuant to which the Company issued and sold to the Investors an aggregate of 85,000 shares of its unregistered common stock at a price per share of $1.10.

The Company engaged Sutter Securities Incorporated and Chardan Capital Markets, LLC as co-placement agents in connection with the registered direct offering pursuant to engagement letter agreements with each firm. The Company agreed to pay the placement agents a cash placement fee and issued to the placement agents warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock equal to 5% of the number of shares sold through each of them, without duplication, at an exercise price per share equal to $1.21 (Sutter) and $1.155 (Chardan). The warrants have a term of five years and will be exercisable beginning on November 18, 2017.

The transactions closed on May 17, 2017 and the Company realized gross proceeds of $2.3 million before deducting transaction fees and other expenses. Offering costs related to the transaction totaled $0.2 million, comprised of $0.1 million of transaction fees and $0.1 million of legal and other expenses, resulting in net proceeds of $2.1 million.

Warrants

On September 2, 2016, we entered into a Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement with Unterberg Koller Capital Fund L.P. and William W. and Dieva L. Smith (collectively, the “Investors”), pursuant to which the Company issued five-year warrants (the “Warrants”) to purchase an aggregate of 1,700,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an Exercise Price of $2.74 per share, which expire five years from the date of issuance. The Company completed the transaction contemplated by the Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement and issued the Warrants on September 6, 2016. The Warrants contain provisions that if the Company sells or issues shares of Common Stock (as defined in Warrants) with an exercise price per share less than the Exercise Price of $2.74, the Exercise Price shall be adjusted according to the terms set forth within the Warrants (“Triggering Event”).

On May 16, 2017, the Company engaged Sutter Securities Incorporated (“Sutter”) and Chardan Capital Markets, LLC (“Chardan”) as co-placement agents in connection with a registered direct offering. The Company agreed to pay the placement agents a cash placement fee and issued to the placement agents warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock equal to 5% of the number of shares sold through each of them, without duplication, at an exercise price per share equal to $1.21 (Sutter) and $1.155 (Chardan). The warrants issued to Sutter and Chardan have a term of five years and will be exercisable beginning on November 18, 2017.

Since the issuance of the Warrants on September 6, 2016, there have been five Triggering Events, which caused the Warrants to be repriced from the original Exercise Price of $2.74: Common Stock offerings in May 2017 for $1.10 and 1.05, the issuance of warrants to Sutter and Chardan with exercise prices of $1.21 and $1.155, respectively, all resulting in a charge of $3,000, and the Series B Preferred Stock issuance with a conversion price of $1.14 in September 2017, resulting in a charge of $41,000. The Triggering Event charges were recorded to Stockholders’ Equity in the applicable period. Upon application of the Triggering Events above, the Unterberg Koller Capital Fund L.P. Adjusted Exercise Price is $2.14 and the Smith Adjusted Exercise Price is $2.38, which is also the agreed upon floor for the Smith Warrants.

The Company early adopted ASU 2017-11 and changed its method of accounting for certain warrants that were initially recorded as liabilities during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 on a full retrospective basis. Since the warrants were issued in conjunction with the Related – party notes payable and Notes payable (the “Notes Payable”) issuance, the Company also revalued the amount of debt discount related to the valuation of the warrants, which impacted the net carrying value of Notes Payable. Accordingly, the Company reclassified the Warrant liability to Additional paid in capital of $1.8 million and $1.2 million and the change in valuation of the amount of debt discount from the Notes payable to Additional paid-in capital of $0.7 million and $0.7 million on the consolidated balance sheets for the three months ended September 30, 2016 and the year ended December 31, 2016, respectively. In addition, due to the retrospective adoption, for the year ended December 31, 2016, the Company credited the Change in fair value of warrant liability on its consolidated statements of operations by $0.9 million with the same offset to Accumulated deficit on the consolidated balance sheets. The following table provides a reconciliation of Warrant liability, Additional paid-in capital, Accumulated deficit and Change in fair value of warrant liability on the consolidated balance sheets for the three months ended September 30, 2016 and the year ended December 31, 2016 (in thousands):

	Consolidated Balance Sheet
	Related-party notes payable		Notes payable		Warrant liability			Additional paid-in capital			Accumulated deficit
Balance, September 30, 2016 (Prior to adoption of ASU 2017-11)	$	883	$	883	$	1,761		$	227,565		$	(222,185	)

	Consolidated Balance Sheet

Balance, December 31, 2016 (Prior to adoption of ASU 2017-11)	$	967	$	967	$	1,210		$	227,889		$	(225,397	)

The adoption of ASU 2017-11 increased the Loss before provision for income taxes and Net loss by $0.3 million for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2016, and increased the Net loss per share by $0.03 and $0.02 for the same periods, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, there was no impact on the Loss before provision for income taxes, Net loss and Net loss per share due to the adoption of ASU 2017-11.

The Company’s consolidated statement of cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 was also impacted by the adoption of ASU 2017-11, including the increase in the Net loss by $0.3 million, the reduction of Amortization of debt discounts by a nominal amount and the elimination of the previously reported Change in fair value of warrant liabilities of $0.3 million.

20. Income Taxes

We account for income taxes as required by FASB ASC Topic No. 740, Income Taxes . This Topic clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement process for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The Topic also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. The Topic requires an entity to recognize the financial statement impact of a tax position when it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination. The amount recognized is measured as the largest amount of benefit that is greater than fifty percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. In addition, the Topic permits an entity to recognize interest and penalties related to tax uncertainties as either income tax expense or operating expenses. The Company has chosen to recognize interest and penalties related to tax uncertainties as income tax expense.

The Company assesses whether a valuation allowance should be recorded against its deferred tax assets based on the consideration of all available evidence, using a “more likely than not” realization standard. The four sources of taxable income that must be considered in determining whether deferred tax assets will be realized are: (1) future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences (i.e., offset of gross deferred tax liabilities against gross deferred tax assets); (2) taxable income in prior carryback years, if carryback is permitted under the applicable tax law; (3) tax planning strategies; and, (4) future taxable income exclusive of reversing temporary differences and carryforwards.

In assessing whether a valuation allowance is required, significant weight is to be given to evidence that can be objectively verified. A significant factor in the Company’s assessment is that the Company has been in a five-year historical cumulative loss as of the end of fiscal year 2016. These facts, combined with uncertain near-term market and economic conditions, reduced the Company’s ability to rely on projections of future taxable income in assessing the realizability of its deferred tax assets.

After a review of the four sources of taxable income as of December 31, 2016 (as described above), and after consideration of the Company’s continuing cumulative loss position as of December 31, 2016, the Company will continue to reserve its US-based deferred tax amounts, which total $76.3 million, as of September 30, 2017.

The Company is subject to U.S. federal income tax as well as income tax of multiple state jurisdictions. Federal income tax returns of the Company are subject to IRS examination for the 2012 – 2016 tax years. State income tax returns are subject to examination for a period of three to four years after filing. The outcome of tax audits cannot be predicted with certainty. If any issues addressed in the Company’s tax audits are resolved in a manner not consistent with management’s expectations, the Company could be required to adjust its provision for income tax in the period such resolution occurs. We may from time to time be assessed interest or penalties by major tax jurisdictions, although any such assessments historically have been minimal and immaterial to our consolidated financial results. It is the Company’s policy to classify any interest and/or penalties in the consolidated financial statements as a component of income tax expense.

21. Subsequent Events

The Company evaluates and discloses subsequent events as required by FASB ASC Topic No. 855, Subsequent Events . The Topic establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date, but before the financial statements are issued or are available to be issued.

Subsequent events have been evaluated as of the date of this filing and no further disclosures were required.

Revenues and Expense Components

The following is a description of the primary components of our revenues and expenses:

Revenues . Revenues are net of sales returns and allowances. Our operations are organized into two business segments:

•

Wireless, which includes our NetWise®, CommSuite®, SafePath®, and QuickLink®, family of products; and,

•

Graphics, which includes our consumer-based products: Poser®, Moho® ClipStudio®, MotionArtist®, and StuffIt®.

The following table shows the revenues generated by each business segment (in thousands):

	For the Three Months Ended September 30,				For the Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2017		2016		2017		2016
Wireless	$	4,690	$	5,237	$	13,678	$	17,513
Graphics		1,114		1,241		3,564		3,638
Total revenues		5,804		6,478		17,242		21,151
Cost of revenues		1,159		1,798		3,727		5,824
Gross profit	$	4,645	$	4,680	$	13,515	$	15,327

Cost of revenues . Cost of revenues consists of direct product and assembly, maintenance, data center, royalties, and technical support expenses.

Selling and marketing . Selling and marketing expenses consist primarily of personnel costs, advertising costs, sales commissions, trade show expenses, and the amortization of certain intangible assets. These expenses vary significantly from quarter to quarter based on the timing of trade shows and product introductions.

Research and development . Research and development expenses consist primarily of personnel and equipment costs required to conduct our software development efforts. It also includes the amortization of certain intangible assets.

General and administrative . General and administrative expenses consist primarily of personnel costs, professional services and fees paid for external service providers, space and occupancy costs, and legal and other public company costs.

Restructuring expense. Restructuring expenses consist primarily of one-time employee termination benefits, lease and other contract terminations, costs to consolidate facilities, and other related costs.

Change in fair value of contingent liability . The change in the fair value of the Pennsylvania grant liability.

Loss on related-party debt extinguishment. The loss recognized on related-party debt extinguished in the conversion to Series B Preferred Stock.

Interest income (expense), net . Interest income (expense), net is primarily related to interest on our debt, and the credit-adjusted risk-free interest rate used to measure our operating lease termination liabilities in restructuring.

Other expense . Other expense is primarily related to foreign exchange losses.

Provision for income tax expense . The Company accounts for income taxes as required by FASB ASC Topic No. 740, Income Taxes . This statement requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the future consequences of events that have been recognized in the Company’s financial statements or tax returns. Measurement of the deferred items is based on enacted tax laws. In the event the future consequences of differences between financial reporting bases and tax bases of the Company’s assets and liabilities result in a deferred tax asset, we are required to evaluate the probability of being able to realize the future benefits indicated by such asset. The deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance if, based upon all available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Establishing, reducing, or increasing a valuation allowance in an accounting period generally results in an increase or decrease in tax expense in the statement of operations. We must make significant judgments to determine the provision for income taxes, deferred tax assets and liabilities, unrecognized tax benefits, and any valuation allowance to be recorded against deferred tax assets. The current provision for income tax expense consists of state income tax minimums, foreign tax withholdings, and foreign income taxes

Three Months Ended September 30, 2017 Compared to the Three Months Ended September 30, 2016

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Going Concern Evaluation

In connection with preparing consolidated financial statements for the three months ended September 30, 2017, management evaluated whether there were conditions and events, considered in the aggregate, that raised substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year from the date that the financial statements are issued.

The Company considered the following:

•

Operating losses for ten consecutive quarters.

•

Negative cash flow from operating activities for six consecutive quarters.

•

Depressed stock price resulting in being non-compliant with NASDAQ listing rules to maintain a stock price of $1.00/share.

•

Stockholders’ equity being less than $2.5 million at March 31, 2017 and June 30, 2017 resulting in being non-compliant with NASDAQ listing rules.

Ordinarily, conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern relate to the entity’s ability to meet its obligations as they become due.

The Company evaluated its ability to meet its obligations as they become due within one year from the date that the financial statements are issued by considering the following:

•

The Company raised $4 million of debt financing during the year ended December 31, 2016.

•

The Company has been able to raise funds from short-term loans from insiders.

•

On September 29, 2017, the Company closed on $5.5 million preferred stock transactions, which extinguished $2.8 million of long term and short-term debt (face value) and raised $2.7 million of new capital.

Management believes that the Company will generate enough cash from operations to satisfy its obligations for the next twelve months.

The Company will take the following actions, if it starts to trend unfavorable to its internal profitability and cash flow projections, in order to mitigate conditions or events that would raise substantial doubt about its ability t o continue as a going concern:

•

Raise additional funds through short-term loans.

•

Implement additional restructuring and cost reductions.

•

Raise additional capital through a private placement.

•

Secure a commercial bank line of credit.

•

Dispose of one or more product lines.

•

Sell or license intellectual property.

NASDAQ Notice for Failure to Satisfy Continued Listing Rules

Our common stock is currently listed on the NASDAQ Capital Market. In order to maintain that listing, we must satisfy minimum financial and other requirements. On May 8, 2017, we received a written notification from The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC notifying us that we failed to comply with Nasdaq’s Marketplace Rule 5550(b)(1) (the “Rule”) because the Company’s stockholders’ equity as of March 31, 2017 fell below the required minimum of $2.5 million and as of May 8, 2017 the Company did not meet the alternatives of market value of listed securities or net income from continuing operations for continued listing.

On September 29, 2017, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with several investors for the issuance and sale (the “Offering”) of 5,500 shares of the Company’s newly designated Series B 10% Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series B Preferred Stock”) at $1,000 per share, for a total purchase price of $5.5 million. In the Offering, the Company raised gross cash proceeds of $2.7 million and exchanged outstanding indebtedness with a principal amount of $2.8 million. The Offering raised net cash proceeds of $2.4 million (after deducting the placement agent fee and expenses of the Offering) and resulted in an increase in the Company’s stockholders’ equity of approximately $5.1 million.

With the completion of the Offering on September 29, 2017, the Company has regained compliance with the Rule and its stockholders’ equity balance is now greater than $2.5 million as of the quarter ended September 30, 2017 and as of the date of this report.

NASDAQ will continue to monitor the Company’s ongoing compliance with the stockholders’ equity requirement and, if at the time of the Company’s next periodic report the Company does not evidence compliance, it may be subject to delisting from NASDAQ.

At September 30, 2017, we had $3.9 million in cash and cash equivalents and $2.8 million of working capital.

Operating activities

Net cash used in operating activities was $5.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. The primary uses of operating cash were to fund our net loss of $6.5 million, adding back non-cash net expenses of $2.4 million, and decreases in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $1.6 million. This usage was offset by increases in deferred revenue of $0.3 million and accounts receivable of $0.3 million.

Net cash used in operating activities was $8.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The primary uses of operating cash were to fund our net loss of $11.6 million, adding back non-cash net expenses of $1.7 million, decreases in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $0.8 million, deferred revenue of $0.3 million, and increases in prepaid and other assets for $0.2 million. This usage was partially offset by a decrease of accounts receivable of $3.1 million and income tax refunds of $0.1 million.

Investing activities

Net cash used in investing activities was $68,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 for capital expenditures.

Net cash used in investing activities was $1.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 used to acquire the shares of Birdstep Technology AB for $1.9 million net cash, iMobileMagic for $0.6 million, and capital expenditures of $0.3 million offset by sale of sale of short-term investments of $4.1 million.

Financ ing activities

Net cash received from financing activities was $7.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. We received $2.1 million from the sale of our common stock in a private placement, $3.0 million from short-term loans from related-parties and $2.4 million from the sale of our Series B Preferred Stock.

Net cash provided by financing activities was approximately $3.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, from the net proceeds from the issuance of senior subordinated promissory notes.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.

During our normal course of business, we have made certain indemnities, commitments, and guarantees under which we may be required to make payments in relation to certain transactions. These include: intellectual property indemnities to our customers and licensees in connection with the use, sale and/or license of our products; indemnities to various lessors in connection with facility leases for certain claims arising from such facility or lease; indemnities to vendors and service providers pertaining to claims based on the negligence or willful misconduct; indemnities involving the accuracy of representations and warranties in certain contracts; and, indemnities to directors and officers of the Company to the maximum extent permitted under the laws of the State of Delaware. We may also issue a guarantee in the form of a standby letter of credit as security for contingent liabilities under certain customer contracts. The duration of these indemnities, commitments and guarantees varies, and in certain cases, may be indefinite. The majority of these indemnities, commitments, and guarantees may not provide for any limitation of the maximum potential for future payments we could be obligated to make. We have not recorded any liability for these indemnities, commitments, and guarantees in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

Recent Accounting Guidance

instruments with a round down feature for each prior reporting period presented which includes the quarter ended September 30, 2016 as well as a cumulative-effect adjustment to the Company’s beginning accumulated defic it as of January 1, 2017. (See Note 19).

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) , to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing all lease transactions (with terms in excess of 12 months) on the balance sheet as a lease liability and a right-of-use asset (as defined). The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with earlier application permitted. Upon adoption, the lessee will apply the new standard retrospectively to all periods presented or retrospectively using a cumulative effect adjustment in the year of adoption. The Company will be evaluating the impact of this guidance on our consolidated financial statements.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) . The amendments to this Update supersede nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance under U.S. GAAP. The core principle of this Topic is to recognize revenues when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration that is expected to be received for those goods or services. This Topic defines a five-step process to achieve this core principle and, in doing so, it is possible more judgment and estimates may be required within the revenue recognition process than required under existing U.S. GAAP, including identifying performance obligations in the contract, estimating the amount of variable consideration to include in the transaction price, and allocating the transaction price to each separate performance obligation. In July 2015, the FASB deferred the effective date for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017 (including interim reporting periods within those periods). Early adoption is permitted to the original effective date of December 15, 2016 (including interim reporting periods within those periods). The amendments may be applied retrospectively to each prior period presented or retrospectively with the cumulative effect recognized as of the date of initial application. The Company will be evaluating the impact of this guidance on our consolidated financial statements.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our discussion and analysis of results of operations, financial condition, and liquidity are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments 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. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may materially differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. On an on-going basis, we review our estimates to ensure that they appropriately reflect changes in our business or new information as it becomes available.

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

Revenue Recognition

We currently report our net revenues under two operating groups: Wireless and Graphics. Within each of these groups, software revenue is recognized based on the customer and contract type. We recognize revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the price is fixed and determinable, and collectability is probable as required by FASB ASC Topic No. 985-605, Software-Revenue Recognition . We recognize revenues from sales of our software to our customers or end users as completed products are shipped and title passes or from royalties generated as authorized customers duplicate our software, if the other requirements are met. If the requirements are not met at the date of shipment, revenue is not recognized until these elements are known or resolved. For Wireless sales, returns from customers are limited to defective goods or goods shipped in error. Historically, customer returns have not exceeded the very nominal estimates and reserves. We also provide some technical support to our customers. Such costs have historically been insignificant.

We have a few multiple element agreements for which we have contracted to provide a perpetual license for use of proprietary software, to provide non-recurring engineering, and, in some cases, to provide software maintenance (post contract support). For these software and software-related multiple element arrangements, we must: (1) determine whether and when each element has been delivered; (2) determine whether undelivered products or services are essential to the functionality of the delivered products and services; (3) determine the fair value of each undelivered element using vendor-specific objective evidence (“VSOE”); and, (4) allocate the total price among the various elements. VSOE of fair value is used to allocate a portion of the price to the undelivered elements and the residual method is used to allocate the remaining portion to the delivered elements. Absent VSOE, revenue is deferred until the earlier of the point at which VSOE of fair value exists for any undelivered element or until all elements of the arrangement have been delivered. However, if the only undelivered element is post contract support, the entire arrangement fee is recognized ratably over the performance period. We determine VSOE for each element based on historical stand-alone sales to third parties or from the stated renewal rate for the elements contained in the initial arrangement. In determining VSOE, we require that a

substantial majority of the selling prices for a product or service fall within a reasonably narrow pricing range. We have established VSOE for our post contract supp ort services and non-recurring engineering.

On occasion, we enter into fixed fee arrangements, i.e. for trials, in which customer payments are tied to the achievement of specific milestones. Revenue for these contracts is recognized based on customer acceptance of certain milestones as they are achieved. We also enter hosting arrangements that sometimes include up-front, non-refundable set-up fees. Revenue is recognized for these fees over the term of the agreement.

For Graphics sales, management reviews available retail channel information and makes a determination of a return provision for sales made to distributors and retailers based on current channel inventory levels and historical return patterns. Certain sales to distributors or retailers are made on a consignment basis. Revenue for consignment sales are not recognized until sell through to the final customer is established. Certain revenues are booked net of revenue sharing payments. Sales directly to end-users are recognized upon shipment. End-users have a thirty-day right of return, but such returns are reasonably estimable and have historically been immaterial. We also provide technical support to our customers. Such costs have historically been insignificant.

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

We sell our products worldwide. We perform ongoing credit evaluations of our customers and adjust credit limits based upon payment history, the customer’s current credit worthiness, and various other factors, as determined by our review of their current credit information. We continuously monitor collections and payments from our customers. We estimate credit losses and maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts reserve based upon these estimates. While such credit losses have historically been within our estimated reserves, we cannot guarantee that we will continue to experience the same credit loss rates that we have in the past. If not, this could have an adverse effect on our consolidated financial statements.

Impairment or Disposal of Long Lived Assets

Goodwill

In accordance with FASB ASC Topic No. 350, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other , we review the recoverability of the carrying value of goodwill at least annually or whenever events or circumstances indicate a potential impairment. The Company’s annual impairment testing date is December 31. Recoverability of goodwill is determined by comparing the fair value of the Company’s reporting units to the carrying value of the underlying net assets in the reporting units. If the fair value of a reporting unit is determined to be less than the carrying value of its net assets, goodwill is deemed impaired and an impairment loss is recognized to the extent that the carrying value of goodwill exceeds the difference between the fair value of the reporting unit and the fair value of its other assets and liabilities.

Intangible Assets and Amortization

Amortization expense related to other intangibles acquired in acquisitions is calculated on a straight-line basis over the useful lives.

Quantitative and Qualitati ve Disclosures About Market Risk

Interest Rate Risk

Our financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents. At September 30, 2017, the carrying values of our financial instruments approximated fair values based on current market prices and rates.

Foreign Currency Risk

While a majority of our business is denominated in U.S. dollars, we do invoice in foreign currencies. For both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, our revenues denominated in foreign currencies were de minimis. Fluctuations in the rate of exchange between the U.S. dollar and certain other currencies may affect our results of operations and period-to-period comparisons of our operating results. We do not currently engage in hedging or similar transactions to reduce these risks. The operational expenses of our foreign entities reduce the currency exposure we have because our foreign currency revenues are offset in part by expenses payable in foreign currencies. As such, we do not believe we have a material exposure to foreign currency rate fluctuations at this time.

Item 4.

Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures

We conducted an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”) as of September 30, 2017. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have determined that as of September 30, 2017, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that the information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, our management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives and our management necessarily is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

Management’s responsibility for financial statements

Our management is responsible for the integrity and objectivity of all information presented in this report. The consolidated financial statements were prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and include amounts based on management’s best estimates and judgments. Management believes the consolidated financial statements fairly reflect the form and substance of transactions and that the financial statements fairly represent the Company’s financial position and results of operations for the periods and as of the dates stated therein.

The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors, which is composed solely of independent directors, meets regularly with our independent registered public accounting firm, SingerLewak LLP, and representatives of management to review accounting, financial reporting, internal control, and audit matters, as well as the nature and extent of the audit effort. The Audit Committee is responsible for the engagement of the independent auditors. The independent auditors have free access to the Audit Committee.

Changes in internal control over financial reporting

There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during the quarter ended September 30, 2017 that have materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.
