Note 1

Background:

 

FC Global Realty Incorporated (and its subsidiaries) (the “Company”), re-incorporated in Nevada on December 30, 2010, originally formed in Delaware in 1980, is, since earlier in 2017, a real estate development and asset management company concentrated primarily on investments in high quality income producing assets, residential developments and other opportunistic commercial properties.

 

Until the sale of the Company’s last significant business unit (its consumer products division which was sold to ICTV Brands, Inc. on January 23, 2017), the Company was a Global Skin Health company providing integrated disease management and aesthetic solutions to dermatologists, professional aestheticians and consumers. The Company provided proprietary products and services that addressed skin diseases and conditions including psoriasis, acne, actinic keratosis (a precursor to certain types of skin cancer), photo damage and unwanted hair.

 

On March 31, 2017, the Company entered into an Interest Contribution Agreement with First Capital Real Estate Operating Partnership, L.P. (“FCOP”), First Capital Real Estate Trust Incorporated (“FCREIT”), and FC Global Realty Operating Partnership, LLC, the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary (the “Acquiror”). The parties entered into amendments to the Interest Contribution Agreement on August 3, 2017, October 11, 2017 and December 22, 2017. Pursuant to the Interest Contribution Agreement, as amended (collectively, the “Contribution Agreement”), FCOP contributed certain real estate assets to FC Global Realty Operating Partnership, LLC. In exchange, FCOP received shares of the Company’s common stock and then newly designated Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Convertible Series A Preferred Stock”). This transaction closed on May 17, 2017. As a result of the Contribution Agreement, the Company has become a real estate asset management and development company for the purpose of investing in a diversified portfolio of quality commercial and residential real estate properties and other real estate investments located in the United States.

 

On April 5, 2019, the Company and Gadsden closed the transaction described in the Gadsden Purchase Agreement, pursuant to which the Company issued to Gadsden shares of its common stock, as well as shares of its newly-created 7% Series A Preferred Stock, Non-Voting Series B Preferred Stock and 10% Series C Preferred Stock. Further information on this transaction is provided in the “Note 8 - Subsequent Events” below.

 

Liquidity and Going Concern

As of March 31, 2019, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $140 million and the Company incurred an operating loss for the three months ended March 31, 2019 of approximately $0.58 million. Subsequent to the sale of the Company’s last significant business unit, the consumer products division as described above, and to date, the Company has dedicated most of its financial resources to general and administrative expenses associated with its ongoing business of real estate development and asset management.

 

As of March 31, 2019, the Company’s cash and cash equivalents amounted to $917. The Company has raised certain funds from Opportunity Fund I SS, LLC (“OFI”) in both 2017 and in 2018. The Company will be required to obtain additional liquidity resources in order to support its ongoing operations.

 

At this time, there is no guarantee that the Company will be able to obtain an adequate level of financial resources required for the short and long-term support of its operations or that the Company will be able to obtain additional financing as needed, or meet the conditions of such financing, or that the costs of such financing may not be prohibitive. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on recoverability of assets and classification of liabilities that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty. 

 

The Gadsden transaction, completed on April 5, 2019, provided no additional working capital or cash for the Company.

Note 2

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:

 

Accounting Principles

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and related notes contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) related to interim financial statements. As permitted under those rules, certain information and footnote disclosures normally required or included in financial statements prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted. The financial information contained herein is unaudited; however, management believes all adjustments have been made that are considered necessary to present fairly the results of the Company’s financial position and operating results for the interim periods. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2018 has been derived from the consolidated financial statements contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K.

 

The results for the three months ended March 31, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2019 or for any other interim period in the future.

 

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and the wholly and majority-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Entities in which the Company directly or indirectly owns more than 50% of the outstanding voting securities, and for which other interest holders do not possess the right to affect significant management decisions, are generally accounted for under the voting interest consolidation method of accounting. Participation of other interest holders in the net assets and in the earnings or losses of a consolidated subsidiary is reflected in the line items “Non-controlling Interest” in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets and “net income (loss) attributable to the non-controlling interest” in the Company consolidated statements of comprehensive loss. Non-controlling interest adjusts the Company’s consolidated results of operations to reflect only the Company’s share of the earnings or losses of the consolidated subsidiary.

 

Any changes in the Company’s ownership interest in a consolidated subsidiary, through additional equity issuances by the consolidated subsidiary or from the Company acquiring the shares from existing shareholders, in which the Company maintains control is recognized as an equity transaction, with appropriate adjustments to both the Company’s additional paid-in capital and the corresponding non-controlling interest.

 

Investment in affiliated companies

Investments in companies in which the Group has significant influence (ownership interest of between 20% and 50%) but less than controlling interests, are accounted for by the equity method. Income on intercompany sales, not yet realized outside of the Group, was eliminated. The Company also reviews these investments for impairment whenever events indicate the carrying amount may not be recoverable.

 

In accordance with ASC Topic 323-10-40-1, a change in the Company’s proportionate share of an investee’s equity, resulting from issuance of shares by the investee to third parties, is accounted for as if the Company had sold a proportionate share of its investment. Any gain or loss resulting from an investee’s share issuance is recognized in earnings.

 

When the Company obtains control of an affiliated company that was accounted for by the equity method, the investment is then re-measured at its fair value as of the date of which control was obtained and any remeasurement gain or loss is recognized in earnings.

 

Management evaluates investments in affiliated companies, for evidence of other-than-temporary declines in value. Such evaluation is dependent on the specific facts and circumstances and includes analysis of relevant financial information (e.g. budgets, business plans, financial statements, etc.). During the three months ended March 31, 2019, no impairment was identified.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates and be based on events different from those assumptions. As part of these financial statements, the more significant estimates include (1) identification of and measurement of instruments in equity transactions; (2) impairment of investment properties and investment in other company; (3) evaluation of going concern; and (4) contingencies.

 

Revenue recognition

On April 26, 2018, the Company’s subsidiary, RETPROP I, LLC, completed the acquisition of a 7,738 square-foot medical office building in Dayton, Ohio for a $326 purchase price, paid in cash consideration. The building’s former owner, and its only current tenant, a medical practice, has entered into a lease with the Company to continue its occupancy through April 2022, with the option to renew that lease for two additional five-year terms. The Company is accounting for the arrangement as an operating lease under ASC 842, “ Leases” by recording rental revenues from operating leases, as a lessor, on a straight-line basis under which contractual rent increases are recognized evenly over the lease term. Certain properties have leases that provide for tenant occupancy during periods where no rent is due or where minimum rent payments change during the term of the lease. Accordingly, receivables from tenants that the Company expects to collect over the remaining lease term are recorded on the balance sheet as straight-line rent receivables.

 

Loss per Share

The Company computes net loss per share in accordance with ASC 260, “ Earnings per share” . Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period, net of the weighted average number of treasury shares (if any). Securities that may participate in dividends with the common stock (such as the Convertible Series A Preferred Stock and Redeemable Convertible Series B Preferred Stock) are considered in the computation of basic loss per share using the two-class method. However, in periods of net loss, participating securities are included only if the holders of such securities have a contractual obligation to share the losses of the Company. Accordingly, the outstanding Convertible Series A Preferred shares were included in the computation, while the Redeemable Convertible Series B Preferred shares were not.

 

Diluted loss per common share is computed similar to basic loss per share, except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional potential common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive. Potential common shares are excluded from the computation for a period in which a net loss is reported or if their effect is anti-dilutive. The Company’s potential common shares consist of stock options, stock warrants and restricted stock awards issued under the Company’s stock incentive plans and their potential dilutive effect is considered using the treasury method, and of Convertible Series A Preferred Stock and Redeemable Convertible Series B Preferred Stock which their potential dilutive effect is considered using the “if-converted method”.

(*) Based on the rights and privileges of Redeemable Convertible Series B Preferred Stock, since the Company did not obtain shareholder approval at March 31, 2018, the then outstanding Redeemable Convertible Series B Preferred Stock became redeemable at the option of OFI. Consequently, in each reporting period commencing March 31, 2018, the outstanding Redeemable Convertible Series B Preferred Stock is recorded at its maximum redemption value until occurrence of redemption or conversion.  These shares were cancelled as a result of the entry into the Remediation Agreement on September 24, 2018.

 

(**) The net loss used for the computation of basic and diluted net loss per share for three months ended March 31, 2018, includes the preferred dividend requirement of 8% per share per annum for the Redeemable Convertible Series B Preferred Stock, compounded annually which shall be distributed to stockholders in case of distributable assets determined in the Company’s certificate of designation under the liquidation preference right (see also Note 6).

 

(***) The Convertible Series A Preferred Stock is a participating security, thus the two class method is required. The remaining balance of the Convertible Series A Preferred Stock was converted during the quarter ended March 31, 2019 so the weighted average outstanding shares is reduced for the period.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Commencing January 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASU No. 2016-02 (Topic 842) “Leases”, which supersedes the lease requirements in ASC Topic 842, “Leases”. Under Topic 842, lessees are required to recognize assets and liabilities on the balance sheet for most leases and provide enhanced disclosures. ASU No. 2016-02 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. In July 2018, the FASB issued amendments in ASU 2018-11, which provide a transition election to not restate comparative periods for the effects of applying the new standard. This transition election permits entities to change the date of initial application to the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented, or retrospectively at the beginning of the period of adoption through a cumulative-effect adjustment. The guidance had no material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Commencing January 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASU 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230), “Restricted Cash”, which requires companies to include amounts generally described as restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents in cash and cash equivalents when reconciling beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows. The amendments in this update are effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. This guidance had no material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09, “Compensation-Stock Compensation”. The amendment provides guidance about which changes to terms or conditions of a share-based payment award require an entity to apply modification accounting. The guidance became effective for the fiscal year beginning on January 1, 2018, including interim periods within that year. This guidance had no material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

Note 3

Discontinued Operations:

 

On January 23, 2017, the Company sold its then last significant business unit (its consumer products division) to ICTV Brands, Inc. This business was a substantial business unit of the Company and the sale brought a strategic shift in focus of management. The Company accordingly classified this former business as held for sale and discontinued operations in accordance with ASC 360 “Impairment or disposal of long-lived assets” during the fourth quarter of the year ended December 31, 2016. Such activity was also presented as discontinued operations in the 2017 consolidated financial statements.

 

The Company recognized a loss of $133 related to the discontinued operations during the three months ended March 31, 2018, as a result of the sale of residual inventory to third parties of $79, which was reduced by write offs of various tax prepayments and liabilities related to the former businesses.

Investment in Affiliated Company

 

Purchase of Roseville Series A Preferred Units

 

On January 14, 2019, the Company purchased 1,000 Series A Preferred Units of Gadsden Roseville, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Roseville”), for a purchase price of $350 (the “Acquisition”), in accordance with an Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement of Roseville (the “LLC Agreement”), entered into among Roseville, Gadsden Realty Investments I, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Gadsden (“Gadsden Investments”), and the Company, on January 14, 2019. Gadsden Investments, the other member of Roseville, owns 1,000 Common Units. Roseville is the sole owner of a parcel of approximately 9.6 acres of land located on Roseville Road in Sacramento, California that is entitled for the development of approximately 65 small lot single family detached homes.

 

Roseville is managed by two managers - one designated by the Company and one designated by Gadsden Investments. Except as otherwise provided in the LLC Agreement, actions by Roseville require the unanimous consent of the two managers.

 

The Series A Preferred Units entitle the Company to priority distribution rights. In accordance with the LLC Agreement, Net Cash Flow (as defined in the LLC Agreement) is distributed among the members as follows: (i) first, to the Company, an amount equal to the Series A Preferred Return then accrued and payable; (ii) second, to the Company, an amount equal to its Unreturned Capital; and (iii) then, to Gadsden Investments. “Series A Preferred Return” means an amount equal to a return that accrued on the capital contributions of the Company at 15% per annum compounded annually; provided, however, that if the Company has not received an amount equal to its Unreturned Capital on or prior to May 14, 2019, then from and after such date, the Series A Preferred Return shall accrue on its capital contributions at 25% per annum compounded annually. “Unreturned Capital” means an amount equal to the Company’s aggregate capital contributions less the aggregate distributions made to the Company.

The Company has accounted for this investment under the equity method based on ASC Subtopic 323-30, “Investments - Equity Method and Joint Ventures: Partnerships, Joint Ventures, and Limited Liability Entities” and has initially recorded the investment at cost. Given the nature of Roseville’s capital structure and the priority of distribution rights, the Company records its share of earnings and losses from Roseville using the Hypothetical Liquidation at Book Value (“HLBV”) method. The HLBV is a balance-sheet approach that calculates the amount the Company would have received if the investment were liquidated at book value at the end of each measurement period. The change in the Company’s allocated amount during the period, based on HLBV, is recognized in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive loss as equity in earnings of equity method investment.

 

The Company does not share in losses of Roseville, per the LLC Agreement, and Roseville sustained a net loss from operations, therefore the Company did not record any related losses for the period of January 15 through March 31, 2019 in the statement of comprehensive loss.

 

Additionally, the Company’s investment in Roseville accrues a return rate based on the remaining capital contribution that the Company has in Roseville. Currently that rate is 15%.

 

Relevant financial statement information for Roseville is summarized as follows:

 

    March 31, 2019     December 31, 2018  
             
Total Assets   $ 1,138     $ 1,138  
Total Liabilities     726       710  
Total Equity   $ 412     $ 428

Litigation

Suneet Singal

On September 21, 2018, Suneet Singal, the Company’s former Chief Executive Officer filed a suit against the Company and its transfer agent, Broadridge Corporate Issuer Solutions Inc., in the Supreme Court of New York for the County of New York. The suit alleges breach of contract, breach of good faith and, with regard to Broadridge, a violation of UCC Article 8-401, and demands the issuance and release to Mr. Singal of 1,000,000 shares of the Company’s Common stock, as well as other unspecified damages.

 

The Company entered into a Severance Agreement with Mr. Singal on December 22, 2017, as a result of which Mr. Singal resigned as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer effective January 2, 2018. Pursuant to the Severance Agreement, the Company agreed to issue 1,000,000 shares of common stock to Mr. Singal.

 

Under the Contribution Agreement, FCOP was to contribute certain properties to the Company. Mr. Singal was, at the time the Contribution Agreement was signed, a principal in FCOP and FCREIT, and continued to the Company’s knowledge to be a principal throughout his tenure as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer.

 

In January 2018, the Company learned of a suit filed in November 2017 by the holder of the majority interest in Avalon Jubilee, LLC. The suit was filed against the previous holders of the two interests and alleged that the right of first refusal contained in the operating agreement for Avalon Jubilee, LLC had not been honored, thereby not allowing the majority holder its option to purchase those interests. While the Company was not named in the suit, the suit did name several ‘John Does’ as defendants and cast doubt upon the legitimacy of the transfer of the interest in Avalon Jubilee, LLC to the Company. As a result of this discovery, the Company was required under accounting rules to write down its investment in Avalon Jubilee, LLC by about $1.4 million, and expended additional funds to enter into negotiations with the majority interest holder to resolve the Company’s ownership of its interest in Avalon Jubilee, LLC. On April 27, 2018, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries entered into an agreement with Alpha Alpha LLC and Presidential Realty Corporation and certain of its subsidiaries, under which the Company’s subsidiary, First Capital Avalon Jubilee LLC, was recognized as a 17.9133% member in Avalon Jubilee, LLC, and the operating agreement and other documents were so amended to reflect that acknowledgement.

Shortly after the Avalon matter was resolved, the Company discovered that one of the other properties transferred to it by FCOP, known as Greensands II, was not the property described in the documents underlying the transaction, including a draft appraisal used as part of the valuation determination for the stock issued to FCOP for the transaction. The property valued in that appraisal was actually a neighboring property once owned by FCOP and known as Greensands I; however the appraisal referred to it as Greensands II. The actual property transferred was significantly smaller than the property which the Company believed it was purchasing. A subsequent re-appraisal and re-valuation of the actual property received resulted in a write-down of the property’s value by $1.4 million. That adjustment required the Company to restate its 2017 financials as reported in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017, and delayed by several days the filing of its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2018, resulting in the Company incurring significant additional accounting and legal fees for those filings.

 

The Company’s Board of Directors reviewed these matters, as well as the fact that:

 

there were unpaid real estate taxes, of $51, associated with the transferred properties which were not paid by FCOP prior to the transaction, and which were not, under the terms of the Contribution Agreement, to be assumed by the Company, resulting in the Company being forced to pay those taxes rather than lose those properties to foreclosure by the taxing authorities;

 

a loan made by the Company to a company in FCREIT’s corporate group, for $145, which was guaranteed by Mr. Singal, was never repaid;

 

Mr. Singal, despite being required by his employment agreement with the Company to work for the Company full-time, never achieved that status; and

 

certain properties transferred by FCOP to the Company were not in the condition expected by the Company as a result of the discussions before the transaction.

 

Upon completing its review, the Board determined that the award of shares to Mr. Singal under his Severance Agreement should be rescinded, noting that the Company had incurred significant and meaningful damages as a result of the various write-downs, non-payment of debts and taxes and other factors identified above. On December 18, 2018, the Company filed a counterclaim regarding such matters that included such damages. The Company has also filed a Motion to Dismiss the suit, and is awaiting the Court’s ruling on that Motion.

 

Possible Litigation

 

As previously reported, on April 5, 2019, the Company and Gadsden Growth Properties, Inc. closed the transaction described in the Stock Purchase Agreement dated March 13, 2019, as amended, pursuant to which Gadsden agreed to transfer and assign to the Company all of its general partnership interests and Class A limited partnership interests in Gadsden Growth Properties, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“ OPCO ”), the operating partnership of Gadsden that holds all of its assets and liabilities, in exchange for shares of the Company’s common stock (the “ Common Stock ”), 7% Series A Cumulative Convertible Perpetual Preferred Stock (the “ Series A Preferred Stock ”), Series B Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock (the “ Series B Preferred Stock ”) and 10% Series C Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock (the “ Series C Preferred Stock ”).

 

One of the properties acquired by the Company as a result of this transaction is the Mission Hills property, described elsewhere in this filing.

 

On October 18, 2018, the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “ SEC ”) commenced a civil action (the “ Civil Action ”) against Jean Danhong Chen, Tony Jianyun Ye, Kai Hao Robinson, Kuansheng Chen, the Law offices of Jean D. Chen, A Professional Corporation, Tree Lined Holdings, LLC, and Golden State Regional Center, LLC in a complaint that was filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California.

 

The complaint states that “[T]his case involves fraud, self-dealing, and unregistered brokerage activity in violation of the federal securities laws. Defendants Attorney Jean Chen (‘Chen’), her law firm, Law Offices of Jean D. Chen (the ‘Law Offices’), and her husband, Tony Ye (‘Ye’), were paid over $12 million in undisclosed commissions to sell securities to their legal clients in offerings under the federal EB-5 Immigrant Investor Program. They attempted to conceal their unlawful activity with the help of Defendant Kuansheng Chen (‘Kuansheng Chen’), who provided an off-shore bank account to receive the transaction-based compensation and posed as the head of a Beijing immigration agency that was actually co-owned and controlled by Chen and Ye.” The complaint also alleges that the named defendants used Fremont during 2014 - 2016 in their activities giving rise to the complaint.

 

Neither the Company, Gadsden, nor any of their respective subsidiaries are named as defendants in the Civil Action, and no legal claim has been asserted in the Civil Action against the Mission Hills Square property or Fremont. Additionally, the Seller is also not a defendant in the Civil Action. None of the defendants in the Civil Action are directors, officers, or affiliates of the Company, or any owner of 5% or more of the Company’s voting securities or, based upon current knowledge, any associate of any director, officer or affiliate of the Company. Although the individual defendants in the Civil Action are alleged by the SEC to have used Fremont in connection with the actions described in the Civil Action, there are no claims in the Civil Action that Gadsden, Fremont, or the Seller participated in the actions described since the Seller acquired Fremont in 2018.

 

On March 7, 2019, Jean Danhong Chen and Tony Jianyun Ye were indicted by a Federal Grand Jury for Visa Fraud, Obstruction of Justice, Identity and Aggravated Identity Theft and Criminal Forfeiture.  This indictment was unsealed on March 25, 2019. Gadsden has informed the Company that it was not aware of any possible claims against Fremont or the Mission Hills Square property when Gadsden acquired Fremont in February, 2019. On March 25, 2019 Gadsden was informed it was a subject of a criminal investigation by the US Department of Justice.

 

In the acquisition of Fremont by Gadsden from the Seller, Gadsden escrowed part of the purchase consideration, in the form of Gadsden securities, that was issued to the Seller, which had at that time an estimated value of approximately $55 million. The Civil Action alleges that at least $40 million was loaned by Bay Area Investment Fund I to Fremont. This loan has been assumed by the Seller, is currently being paid by the Seller and is not in default. Gadsden has not reserved any amounts in its financial statements, and may use the escrowed securities for any undisclosed liabilities, including any liabilities related to the Civil Action. Gadsden is not able to determine if there is any liability of Fremont in the Civil Action, of Gadsden in the criminal investigation, or related matters, or if any such liability will be in excess of the escrowed amount. Gadsden believes that, if there is any liability to the Company, it is not in excess of the escrowed amount, and intends to vigorously defend itself against any such allegations if made, although such defenses can be expensive and there can be no guarantee that such defenses will be successful.

 

Nevertheless, as described above, Gadsden agreed to indemnity and hold the Company harmless from all losses of the Company or any of its subsidiaries arising from or related to the Civil Action, the facts described therein and all civil or other actions arising from or related to such Civil Action.

 

The Company does not believe that there will be any negative consequences to its ownership of Mission Hills as a result of this action, and therefore cannot at this time make any provision for any contingency in this matter. Nevertheless, the Company will continue to monitor this matter and intends to defend its rights in this matter to the fullest extent possible.

Other litigation

The Company and certain subsidiaries are, have been and may be, involved in other miscellaneous litigation and legal actions, including product liability, consumer, commercial, tax and governmental matters, which can arise from time to time in the ordinary course of the Company’s business. The Company believes that these other litigation and claims will likely be resolved without a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or liquidity. However, litigation and legal actions are inherently unpredictable, and excessive verdicts can result in such situations. Although the Company believes it has or will have substantial defenses in these matters, it may, in the future, incur judgments or enter into settlements of claims that could have a material adverse effect on results of operations in a particular period.

 

Registration Rights Agreement under Remediation Plan

On September 24, 2018, in connection with the Remediation Agreement (as described in Note 5), the Company entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with OFI and Dr. Dolev Rafaeli, Dennis M. McGrath and Dr. Yoav Ben-Dror (the “Note Holders”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to register all shares of common stock that may be issued upon conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock and Series D Preferred Stock, as well as all other shares of the Company’s capital stock held by OFI (the “Registrable securities”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The Company agreed to file a registration statement covering the resale of such Registrable Securities within 30 days of the date of the Registration Rights Agreement and cause such registration statement to be declared effective under the Securities Act as soon as possible but, in any event, no later than 120 days following the filing date if such registration statement is filed on Form S-3 or 150 days if such registration statement is filed on Form S-1. If such registration statement was not filed or declared effective by the SEC on or prior to such dates, or if after such registration statement is declared effective, without regard for the reason thereunder or efforts therefor, such registration statement ceases for any reason to be effective for more than an aggregate of 30 trading days during any 12-month period, which need not be consecutive, then in addition to any other rights the holders of Registrable Securities may have under the Registration Rights Agreement or under applicable law, the Company shall pay to each holder an amount in cash, as partial liquidated damages and not as a penalty, equal to 1.0% of the product obtained by multiplying (x) $1.00 by (y) the number of shares of Registrable Securities held by the holder (the “Investment Amount”), provided that, in no event will the Company be liable for liquidated damages in excess of 1.0% of the Investment Amount in any single month and that the maximum aggregate liquidated damages payable to the holders under the Registration Rights Agreement shall be 10% of the Investment Amount. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the filing and effective date deadlines above shall be extended during such time as the Company is actively pursuing a business combination involving the Company that is approved by each of OFI and the Note Holders. The Company did not file a registration statement to cover the shares under the Remediation Agreement, but instead, as result of the potential merger transaction (as described in Note 1 and Note 8) under which, inter alia, the Company intended to register all Registrable Securities through a registration statement on a Form S-4, and the subsequent Gadsden Purchase Agreement (as described in Note 1) the filing and effective date deadlines above are currently under extension. As the accounting for any obligations due under the Registration Rights Agreement falls under ASC 450 “Contingencies”, the Company will make provisions for any liabilities and record related expense, at which time the amount to be paid is probable and reasonably estimable. As of March 31, 2019, management believes the amount to be paid, if any, is not probable and reasonably estimable.

 

The new Registration Rights Agreement replaced previous Registration Rights Agreements with OFI and the Note Holders. Consequently, OFI and the Note Holders waived their rights to liquidated damages in connection with the late filing and in connection with the effectiveness deadline for previous registration statements.

Amended and Restated Separation Agreement

On February 12, 2018, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Separation Agreement with Mr. Stephen Johnson, its former Chief Finance Officer, pursuant to which the Company has agreed to pay Mr. Johnson an amount of $123 in 11 installments as follows: the first six installments of $10 each, and the following five installments of $12.5 each. The first payment was made on February 15, 2018, and subsequent payments are to be made on or before the 15th day of each succeeding month, with the final installment to be paid on or before December 15, 2018.

The Company did not make all of the installment payments during 2018 and as such as of March 31, 2019, the balance payable of $78 to Mr. Johnson is included in accrued compensation and related expenses.

 

In addition, the Company agreed to issue to Mr. Johnson 271,000 shares of the Company’s common stock six months after the date of the agreement. In August 2018, the aforesaid shares were issued to Mr. Johnson in the amount of $87, representing a share price of approximately $0.32.

Convertible Series A Preferred Stock under the First Capital Contribution Agreement

The terms of the Convertible Series A Preferred Stock were governed by a certificate of designation (the “Series A Certificate of Designation”) filed by the Company with the Nevada Secretary of State on May 15, 2017.

Securities Purchase Agreement

On December 22, 2017, the Company had entered into the OFI Purchase Agreement with OFI, under which OFI could, but was not obligated to, invest up to $15,000 in the Company in a series of closings over a period prior to December 31, 2018, in exchange for which OFI would receive shares of the Company’s Redeemable Convertible Series B Preferred Stock (“Series B Shares”) at a purchase price of $1.00 per share (the “Option”).

 

On December 22, 2017 (the “Initial Date”), the Company and OFI completed the first closing under the OFI Purchase Agreement, pursuant to which OFI exercised a portion of the Option and provided $1,500 to the Company in exchange for 1,500,000 Series B Shares. On January 24, 2018 (the “Second Date”), the Company and OFI completed a second closing under the OFI Purchase Agreement, pursuant to which OFI provided $2,225 to the Company in exchange for 2,225,000 Series B Shares.

 

Under ASC 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity”, since the Series B Shares had conditional redemption provisions which are outside of the control of the Company and also contained a deemed liquidation preference, the Series B Shares were classified as mezzanine financing at the Initial Date at the residual amount, which was the difference between the total proceeds received and the fair value of the Option. Subsequently, changes in the redemption value was accreted over the period from the date of issuance (or from the date that it becomes probable that the instrument will become redeemable, if later) to the earliest redemption date of the instrument using an appropriate methodology, usually the interest method. Changes in the redemption value were considered to be changes in accounting estimates. 

  

Under ASC 480, the aforementioned written call Option was considered freestanding, as the Company believed it was legally detachable and separately exercisable. As the option was exercisable for shares subject to possible redemption at the option of the holder, as of the Initial Date, the Option was measured at fair value and recorded as a non-current financial liability on the consolidated balance sheet. Excess of the initial value of the option liability over the proceeds received was charged immediately into the consolidated statement of comprehensive loss as financing expenses in the fourth quarter of 2017. The Option was marked to market in each reporting period until it was exercised or expired, as earlier, when changes in the fair value of the Option were charged into statement of comprehensive income or loss. For the three months ended March 31, 2018, the Company recorded expenses in the total amount of $273 due to revaluation of Option to purchase Redeemable Convertible Series B Preferred Stock.

 

Under ASC 480, the aforementioned right granted to OFI to further invest in the Company represented a written call Option which was considered freestanding, as the Company believed it was legally detachable and separately exercisable. As the option was exercisable for shares subject to possible redemption at the option of the holder, as of the Initial Date, the Option was measured at fair value and recorded as a non-current financial liability on the consolidated balance sheet. Excess of the initial value of the option liability over the proceeds received was charged immediately into the consolidated statement of comprehensive loss as financing expenses in the fourth quarter of 2017. The Option was marked to market in each reporting period until it was exercised or expired, as earlier, with changes in the fair value of the Option charged into the statement of comprehensive income or loss. For the three months ended March 31, 2018, the Company recorded expense in the total amount of $273 due to revaluation of Option to purchase Series B Shares.

 

In addition, at the Initial Date, the Company incurred de minimis direct and incremental issuance costs which were charged immediately into the consolidated statement of comprehensive loss as finance expenses, as the written call Option was presented at fair value.

At the Initial Date, each Series B Share was convertible into 1.24789 shares of common stock valued at $1.00 per share. As a result, Beneficial Conversion Feature (the “BCF”) amounting to approximately $372 was measured assuming full conversion. However, the conversion of the Preferred Stock is subject to certain contingencies, which impact the timing and amount of the BCF. At the Initial Date which is also the commitment date, the Company should record a BCF for the Preferred Stock for any shares convertible at that time without requiring stockholder approval through the planned proxy statement. However, as no residual proceeds were allocable to the Series B Shares at the Initial Date, no BCF was recognized with respect to the first closing.

 

In conjunction with the Second Date, OFI partially exercised the written call option present in the OFI Purchase Agreement and therefore upon exercise, the pro-rata share of this liability amounting to $677 was reclassified in the condensed consolidated balance sheet from Option to purchase Series B Shares into Series B Shares, during the three months ended March 31, 2018. On the Second Date, each Series B Share (exclusive of dividends) was convertible into 1.24789 shares of common stock valued at $1.00 per share. Because of reclassification of the exercised written call option together with cash amount received, there was no additional BCF measured.

 

As a result of the reclassification of the exercised written call option, there was no additional BCF measured.

In the absence of voluntary conversion and assuming no breaches as described above under “ Redemption,” the Series B Shares would have automatically converted on May 31, 2018. As such, accretion adjustments to the carrying amount of the Series B Shares to the automatic conversion date of May 31, 2018 are recorded as deemed dividends. However, at March 31, 2018, the Company did not obtain shareholder approval and therefore, the then outstanding Redeemable Convertible Series B Preferred Stock became redeemable at the option of OFI. Activity in the account Redeemable Convertible Series B Preferred Stock for the three months ended March 31, 2018, is outlined in the below table

That Agreement has been supplemented and/or superseded by the Remediation Agreement entered into with OFI on September 24, 2018. As a result, the Redeemable Convertible Series B Preferred Stock has been withdrawn, and shares of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock were issued as a replacement.

 

Cancellation and Exchange Agreement

On April 20, 2018, the Company and OFI entered into a Cancellation and Exchange Agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”), pursuant to which OFI agreed to provide an additional $2,000 to the Company in exchange for 2,000,000 shares of Redeemable Convertible Series B Preferred Stock, subject to certain conditions set forth in the Exchange Agreement, including, among other things, the cancellation of 95,770 shares of the Company’s Convertible Series A Preferred Stock held by OFI in exchange for 5,382,274 shares of the Company’s common stock. Under the Exchange Agreement, closing of this additional investment, including cancellation discussed above, would occur promptly following the filing of a definitive information statement on Schedule 14C with the SEC and mailing the stockholders of the Company, and in any event within 3 days thereafter. However, on September 24, 2018, the Exchange Agreement was terminated by the Remediation Agreement.

 

Payout Notes and Stock Grant Agreement

Under the Contribution Agreement, amounts due to Dr. Dolev Rafaeli and Dennis M. McGrath under their employment agreements, as well as amounts due to Dr. Yoav Ben-Dror for his services as a board member and officer of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries, were converted to convertible secured notes in the principal amounts of approximately $3.1 million, $1 million and $1.5 million, respectively, following approval from the Company’s stockholders on October 12, 2017 (the “Payout Notes”). The Payout Notes were due on October 12, 2018, carried a ten percent (10%) interest rate, payable monthly in arrears commencing on December 1, 2017, were secured by a security interest in all of the Company’s assets pursuant to a security agreement that the Company entered into with the Note Holders, and were convertible into shares of common stock.

 

On December 22, 2017, the Company entered into a Stock Grant Agreement with the Note Holders to (i) cause the early conversion of the Payout Notes into an aggregate of 5,628,291 shares of common stock (the “Payout Shares”), (ii) effectuate the release of all security interests associated with the Payout Notes, (iii) provide for the issuance of an aggregate of 1,857,336 additional shares of common stock to the Note Holders as consideration for the various agreements of the Note Holders contained in the Stock Grant Agreement (the “Additional Shares”), (iv) provide for certain cash payments to the Note Holders in amounts equal to the interest payments that would have been made to the Note Holders absent the conversion of the Payout Notes, (v) obtain the agreement of the Note Holders to provide certain support services to the Company, and (vi) obtain the conditional resignation of certain of the Note Holders from the board of directors. Accordingly, the Payout Notes were deemed paid in full.

Pursuant to the Stock Grant Agreement, the Company agreed to make 12 monthly payments on the first of each month commencing on January 1, 2018 in the amounts of approximately $21, $7 and $10 to Messrs. Rafaeli, McGrath, and Ben-Dror, respectively. Such cash payments were consideration for certain consulting services provided by the Note Holders specified in the Stock Grant Agreement. The Company was required to issue the Additional Shares promptly, but in any event within 10 days after the Company obtained stockholder approval of such issuance. Such stockholder approval was not obtained. However, the Stock Grant Agreement was terminated in connection with the Remediation Agreement.

 

Remediation Agreement

On September 24, 2018 (the “Exchange Date”), the Company entered into the Remediation Agreement with OFI and the Note Holders, pursuant to which inter alia the following have been determined -

 

1. The Stock Grant Agreement was terminated, the Payout Shares were cancelled, and the Company issued to the Note Holders an aggregate of 7,485,627 shares of newly-designated Series C Preferred Stock in exchange for 5,628,291 shares of common stock.
   
2. The OFI Purchase Agreement (subject to the survival of certain provisions identified in the Remediation Agreement), the Supplemental Agreement and the Exchange Agreement were terminated and 3,825,000 shares of Redeemable Convertible Series B Preferred Stock issued to OFI were cancelled and the Company issued to OFI 6,217,490 shares of newly-designated Series D Preferred Stock. In addition, in conjunction with the exchange of OFI’s existing Redeemable Convertible Series B Preferred Stock for Series D Preferred Stock, the option for OFI to purchase future Redeemable Convertible Series B Preferred Stock up to aggregate amount of $15 million has been cancelled but OFI agreed to purchase $100 of shares of Series D Preferred Stock for a purchase price of $0.65 per share on the last day of each month, commencing on September 30, 2018, until it had purchased an aggregate of $500 of shares of Series D Preferred Stock, provided that, upon closing of any material business combination involving the Company that is approved by OFI, OFI agreed to purchase an additional $1,500 of shares of Series D Preferred Stock at a price of $0.65 per share. Notwithstanding the foregoing, from and after the date that stockholder approval of the conversion of shares issued under Remediation Agreement had been obtained, instead of purchasing shares of Series D Preferred Stock, OFI agreed to purchase shares of common stock at a price of $0.65 per share. On September 28, 2018, a first closing under the Remediation Agreement was completed, pursuant to which OFI provided $100 to the Company in exchange for 153,846 shares of the Company’s Series D Preferred Stock. On October 31, 2018, a second closing under the Remediation Agreement was completed, pursuant to which OFI provided $100 to the Company in exchange for 153,846 shares of the Company’s Series D Preferred Stock. On November 29, 2018, a third closing under the Remediation Agreement was completed, pursuant to which OFI provided $100 to the Company in exchange for 153,846 shares of common stock. On December 31, 2018, OFI agreed, notwithstanding the investment schedule set forth in the Remediation Agreement, to provide the remaining funds to the Company, and the parties completed a final closing under the Remediation Agreement, pursuant to which OFI provided $1.6 million to the Company in exchange for 2,461,538 shares of common stock.  
   
3. The Company was required, as promptly as possible following the date of the Remediation Agreement (and in no event later than 30 days thereafter), to prepare and file a preliminary proxy statement relating to stockholder approval of the issuance of common stock upon conversion of all shares of Series C Preferred Stock and Series D Preferred Stock issued under the Remediation Agreement. The preliminary proxy statement was filed on September 27, 2018. The final proxy statement was filed on October 25, 2018 and mailed to the Company’s stockholders on or about October 31, 2018. A stockholder meeting to approve this matter was held on November 29, 2018, at which the stockholders approved to the Remediation Agreement. As a result, on November 29, 2018, all shares of Series D Preferred Stock issued to OFI were converted into 6,619,483 shares of common stock and all shares of Series C Preferred Stock issued to the Note Holders were converted into 7,485,627 shares of common stock.
   
4. On September 24, 2018, in connection with the Remediation Agreement, the Company entered into the Registration Rights Agreement with OFI and the Note Holders.

 

In accordance with ASC 480-10-S99, since the Series C Preferred Shares and Series D Preferred Shares had no conditional (outside of the control of the Company) or mandatory redemption provisions, the Series C Preferred Stock and Series D Preferred Stock were classified as part of the stockholders’ equity on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet. Based on such determination and due to the economic characteristics and risks of the Preferred Stock, based on their stated or implied substantive terms and features, Series C and Series D Preferred Stock were considered as more akin to equity than debt.

Accordingly, it was determined that the economic characteristics and the risks of the embedded conversion option to common stock and those of the Series C and Series D Preferred Stock themselves (the ‘host contract’) were clearly and closely related. As a result, the embedded conversion feature was not required to be bifurcated.

 

Also, as the Series C Preferred Stock and Series D Preferred Stock are valued in excess of the common stock and since each share of Series C Preferred Stock and Series D Preferred Stock was contingently convertible into one share of common stock, it was determined that at the exchange date, the effective exercise price of the conversion feature (based on the effective conversion rate of the Series C Preferred Stock and the Series D Preferred Stock into common stock) was higher than the estimated fair value of the Company’s common stock (which was valued at $0.24 per share). Thus, it was determined that the conversion feature was not beneficial.

 

In addition, the Remediation Agreement with OFI constitutes a firm forward purchase contract for an amount of $500 at $0.65 per share and an additional contingent purchase commitment of $1,500 in the event of a material business combination. Based on its terms (the fixed share price and number of shares) it was determined that the forward contract meets the scope exception requirements for derivative treatment under ASC 815 and therefore it is classified as an equity.

 

At the Exchange Date, in conjunction with the Remediation Agreement, the Note Holders’ existing common stock that had been previously exchanged in consideration for issuance of Series C Preferred Stock, OFI’s existing Redeemable Convertible Series B Preferred Stock were exchanged in consideration for issuance of Series D Preferred Stock and the remaining portion of the Option for OFI to purchase future Redeemable Convertible Series B Preferred Stock up to aggregate amount of $15 million had been cancelled for the future commitment of OFI to invest up to aggregate amount of $2,000.

 

If a preferred share has characteristics that cannot be reliably assessed using the cash flow model in ASC 470-50, it is evaluated using another quantitative model, such as the fair value model or based on an analysis of the significance of any contractual terms added, contractual terms removed, and changes to existing contractual terms. In such analysis the issuer considers, among others critical terms such as a change in the liquidation preference order/priority (including the determination whether the classification of the instrument has changed from mezzanine to equity or to liability vice versa), voting rights, or conversion ratio. In addition, the issuer considers the business purpose for the changes and how the changes may influence the economic decisions of the investor, if any.

Restricted Stock

On June 20, 2018, the Company’s board of directors approved an employment agreement with the former Chief Executive Officer, pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue 400,000 shares of common stock that will be vest over a 3-year period. One-third of the shares issued shall vest on each of the first anniversary and the two ensuing anniversaries of the date of execution of the employment agreement. The foregoing notwithstanding, the Chief Executive Officer shall fully vest in all of the shares if the Chief Executive Officer’s employment with the Company shall terminate upon the occurrence of a Change in Control as defined in the employment agreement. The closing price of the Company’s share at June 20, 2018 is $0.47 and therefore the overall expenses to be recorded amounted to $188. For the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Company recorded an expense of $29 as part of the general and administrative expenses in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Loss. Issuance of these shares was subject to stockholder approval of the Company’s 2018 Equity Incentive Plan which was obtained at the 2018 annual meeting on November 29, 2018. Upon the Company’s closing of the Gadsden Purchase Agreement on April 5, 2019 as described in Note 6, the restricted stock became fully vested.

 

Common Stock Options

On April 18, 2018, the Company’s Board of Directors adopted the 2018 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2018 Plan”), which provides for grants of restricted stock, stock options and other forms of incentive compensation to officers, employees, directors and consultants. The Company is authorized to issue up to 5,000,000 shares of common stock under the 2018 Plan. The 2018 Plan became effective upon its approval by the stockholders on November 29, 2018. The Company’s previous plans, the Amended and Restated 2000 Non-Employee Director Stock Option Plan and the Amended and Restated 2005 Equity Compensation Plan, are no longer active. As March 31, 2019, only 1,000 options remained outstanding from those plans.

 

A summary of stock option transactions under these plans during the three months ended March 31, 2019 are as follows:

 

      Number of Stock
Options
    Weighted
Average
Exercise Price
    Weighted
Average
Remaining

Exercisable at March 31, 2019       1,000     $ 75.00       3.92     $  

 

(*) The aggregate intrinsic value represents the total intrinsic value (the difference between the deemed fair value of the Company’s Ordinary Shares on the last day of the first quarter of 2019 and the exercise price, multiplied by the number of in-the-money options) that would have been received by the option holders had all option holders exercised their options on March 31, 2019. This amount is impacted by the changes in the fair value of the Company’s shares.

 

The total equity-based compensation expense related to the Company’s equity-based awards, recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, total the amounts of $32 and $21, respectively.

 

As of March 31, 2019, there was $112 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested stock awards that based on their original vesting terms was expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.5 years. Following the completion of the Gadsden Purchase Agreement described in Note 8, such compensation will be accelerated.

Note 7

Income Taxes:

 

On December 22, 2017, the U.S. government enacted comprehensive tax legislation commonly referred to as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (the “Tax Act”). The Tax Act makes broad and complex changes to the U.S. tax code, including, but not limited to, reducing the U.S. federal corporate tax rate from 35 percent to 21 percent; eliminating the corporate Alternative Minimum Tax (“AMT”) and changing how existing AMT credits can be realized; creating a new limitation on deductible interest expense; changing rules related to uses and limitations of net operating loss carryforwards created in tax years beginning after December 31, 2017; and changing limitations on the deductibility of certain executive compensation.

 

In December 2017, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 (“SAB 118”), which addresses situations where the accounting is incomplete for the income tax effects of the Act. SAB 118 directs taxpayers to consider the impact of the act as “provisional” when the Company does not have the necessary information available, prepared or analyzed (including computations) to finalize the accounting for the change in tax law. Companies are provided a measurement period of up to one year to obtain, prepare, and analyze information necessary to finalize the accounting for provisional amounts or amounts that cannot be estimated.

 

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the 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 carryforwards. 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 on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in operations in the period that includes the enactment date.

 

A valuation allowance is provided when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of a deferred tax asset will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income and the reversal of deferred tax liabilities during the period in which the related temporary difference becomes deductible. The benefit of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the Company’s income tax returns are recognized in the consolidated financial statements if such positions are more likely than not of being sustained. As of March 31, 2019, an amount of $1.6 million related to corporate international unrecognized tax benefits is included in other accrued liabilities.

 

Taxes, which may apply in the event of a disposal of investments in subsidiaries, have not been included in computing the deferred taxes, as the Company anticipates it would liquidate those subsidiaries that can be closed on a tax free basis.

 

The Company files corporate income tax returns in the United States, both in the Federal jurisdiction and in various State jurisdictions. The Company is subject to Federal income tax examination for calendar years 2014 through 2018 and is also generally subject to various State income tax examinations for calendar years 2014 through 2018. Photo Therapeutics Limited files in the United Kingdom. Radiancy (Israel) Limited files in Israel. The Israeli subsidiary is subject to tax examination for calendar years 2014 through 2018.

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company recognized no income tax expense or benefit.

Gadsden Transaction

 

The Stock Purchase Agreement

On March 13, 2019, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with Gadsden Growth Properties, Inc., a Maryland corporation (“Gadsden”), pursuant to which Gadsden agreed to transfer and assign to the Company all of its general partnership interests and Class A limited partnership interests in Gadsden Growth Properties, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“OPCO”), the operating partnership of Gadsden that holds all of its assets and liabilities, in exchange for shares of the Company’s common stock and newly designated 7% Series A Cumulative Convertible Perpetual Preferred Stock (the “7% Series A Preferred Stock”), Series B Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Non-Voting Series B Preferred Stock”) and newly designated 10% Series C Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock (the “10% Series C Preferred Stock”) that is equal to the number of shares of Gadsden’s 10% Series C Cumulative Convertible Preferred (the “Gadsden Transaction”).

 

The Stock Purchase Agreement provided that certain shares (the “Holdback Shares”) of common stock to Gadsden would be subject to forfeiture based on the reconciliation and adjustment of the net asset value of Gadsden’s assets and Gadsden’s proposed real estate investments that have not closed as of the closing date of the Stock Purchase Agreement (such investments being the “Scheduled Investments”).

 

On April 5, 2019, the Company and Gadsden entered into Amendment No. 1 to Stock Purchase Agreement (“Amendment 1”) to amend certain provisions of the Stock Purchase Agreement as described below. Following such Amendment 1, closing of the transactions contemplated by the Stock Purchase Agreement was completed on April 5, 2019.

 

Pursuant to Amendment 1, Section 1(a) of the Stock Purchase Agreement was amended to revise the number of shares of 7% Series A Preferred Stock and Non-Voting Series B Preferred Stock to be issued at closing, as well as to revise the timing on issuance of the Holdback Shares. Pursuant to Amendment 1, on April 5, 2019, the Company issued to Gadsden 430,306,645 shares of common stock, 889,075 shares of 7% Series A Preferred Stock, 11,696,944 shares of Non-Voting Series B Preferred Stock and 2,498,682 shares of 10% Series C Preferred Stock. Amendment 1 provided that 278,178,750 Holdback Shares would be issued to Gadsden upon filing of an amendment to the Company’s Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation (the “Charter Amendment Date”).

 

On May 2, 2019, the Company and Gadsden entered into Amendment No. 2 to Stock Purchase Agreement (“Amendment 2”) to (i) decrease the number of shares of common stock and Holdback Shares issued to Gadsden, and increase the number of shares of Non-Voting Series B Preferred Stock issued, as the result of an error in the original calculation of the shares to be issued; (ii) provide for the issuance of the Holdback Shares on the closing date, rather than the Charter Amendment Date; and (iii) provide for the issuance of certain of the shares of the Non-Voting Series B Preferred Stock and 10% Series C Preferred Stock to FHDC Group, LLC (“FHDC”), a stockholder of Gadsden, in exchange for the equivalent number of shares of Gadsden held by it.

Specifically, Amendment 2 provided that the Company issue the following securities as consideration under the Stock Purchase Agreement, as amended (the “Gadsden Purchase Agreement”): (i) to Gadsden, 229,101,205 shares of common stock, of which 110,477,220 shares are designed as Holdback Shares and will be held by Gadsden in a segregated account (the “Gadsden Specified Account”), which shall be subject to release in accordance with the terms of the Gadsden Purchase Agreement, and 118,623,985 shares of which will not be subject to the Gadsden Specified Account; (ii) to Gadsden, 889,075 shares of 7% Series A Preferred Stock; (iii) to Gadsden, 6,264,993 shares of Non-Voting Series B Preferred Stock; (iv) to Gadsden, 498,682 shares of 10% Series C Preferred Stock; (v) to FHDC, 5,432,000 shares of Non-Voting Series B Preferred Stock, subject to entry into the Exchange Agreement (as defined below); and (vi) to FHDC, 2,000,000 shares of 10% Series C Preferred Stock (together with the 5,432,000 shares of Non-Voting Series B Preferred Stock referred to above, the “FHDC Shares”), subject to entry into the Exchange Agreement.

 

In connection with Amendment 2, on May 2, 2019, the Company entered into a Cancellation and Exchange Agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”) with Gadsden and FHDC, pursuant to which FHDC agreed to cancel (i) 5,432,000 shares of its Series B Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock and (ii) 2,000,000 shares of its 10% Series C Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock of Gadsden held by it in exchange for the FHDC Shares. On May 10, 2019, FDHC exercised its option to convert its Series B preferred shares into 132,667,366 shares of the Company’s Common Stock.

 

In order to effect the forgoing, on May 2, 2019, the Company cancelled 201,205,440 shares of common stock issued to Gadsden and Gadsden placed a number of its remaining shares equal to the Holdback Shares into the Gadsden Specified Account. In addition, in accordance with the terms of the Exchange Agreement, the Company cancelled 5,432,000 shares of Non-Voting Series B Preferred Stock and 2,000,000 shares of 10% Series C Preferred Stock issued to Gadsden and issued such shares to FHDC. On May 6, 2019, the Company also issued an additional 49 shares of Non-Voting Series B Preferred Stock to Gadsden.

 

The number of the Company’s shares issued to Gadsden was based upon an estimated net asset value of Gadsden of $212 million (the “Contract NAV”). The Contract NAV includes Gadsden’s assets and all of its Scheduled Investments. The Gadsden Purchase Agreement provides for a reconciliation and adjustment of the final net asset value of Gadsden as follows.

 

If the Contract NAV is more than the Gadsden final net asset value, then the difference (the “Shortfall”) will be settled by the transfer of shares of the Company’s common stock, at a value equal to 3.771023733 shares of common stock for each $1.00 of Shortfall if the Gadsden final net asset value is $80 million or more (and 2.860407207 for each $1.00 of Shortfall to the extent that the Gadsden final net asset value is less $80 million). The Shortfall will first be paid by transfer of Holdback Shares by Gadsden to the Company and such transferred shares will be cancelled. If the amount of the Shortfall is more than the value of the Holdback Shares, then the Company will issue more shares of common stock to its stockholders of record as of the closing date.

 

Gadsden’s final net asset value will be determined as the fair value of the each of the assets of Gadsden on the closing date and the Scheduled Investments acquired on or prior to May 20, 2019. Such fair value will be determined in accordance with the following:

 

in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles, and shall be derived from the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for either of the fiscal years ended December 31, 2019 or December 31, 2020 with Gadsden having the option to choose which such fiscal year to utilize,

 

as of the date of an appraisal from a licensed appraiser with knowledge of the applicable market that need not be a national firm, or

 

if the Gadsden asset is sold or otherwise disposed of in consideration for cash, the gross cash proceeds from the sale minus any indebtedness or other liabilities relating to the Gadsden asset being sold or otherwise disposed of that were not assumed by the purchaser and that remain indebtedness or other liabilities of the Company following the sale or other disposition.

The Gadsden Purchase Agreement also contains a mechanism for issuing additional shares of common stock to Gadsden or the Company’s legacy stockholders, as applicable, if there is a loss determination. The Gadsden Purchase Agreement defines a loss determination as an event that gives rise to a loss due to a breach of a representation and warranty by a party or the failure of a covenant to be performed by a party that was not fully performed, in each case, after consideration of any express waiver or amendment. After the amount of a loss has been determined in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Gadsden Purchase Agreement, the amount of the loss will be paid by the Company as follows: (i) if the Company’s Board determines that the amount of the loss will be paid in cash, then such amount will be paid by check payable to the order of Gadsden or the Company’s legacy stockholders; or (ii) if the Company’s Board does not determine that the amount of the loss will be paid in cash, then such amount will be paid by the Company issuing and delivering shares of common stock with an aggregate fair value equal to the amount of the loss to Gadsden or the Company’s legacy stockholders. The Gadsden Purchase Agreement provides that no loss will be determined until the aggregate amount of losses claimed exceeds $100, it being acknowledged that from and after such threshold, all losses shall be subject to adjustment as set forth above.

 

Termination of Merger Agreement  

The parties had previously, on November 8, 2018, entered into an agreement and plan of merger (the “Merger Agreement”), among the Company, FC Merger Sub, Inc., a Maryland corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“FC Merger Sub”), Gadsden and OPCO, pursuant to which, subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, FC Merger Sub agreed to merge with and into Gadsden, with Gadsden surviving the merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, which would have been converted into Gadsden Properties, Inc., a Maryland corporation, immediately prior to the merger. On December 27, 2018, January 14, 2019 and January 25, 2019, the parties entered into amendments to amend certain provisions of the Merger Agreement described therein.

 

In connection with the proposed transaction contemplated in the Merger Agreement, on November 9, 2018, the Company and Gadsden filed a Registration Statement on Form S-4 (No. 333-228304), which included a joint proxy statement of the Company and Gadsden that also constitutes a prospectus of Gadsden Properties, Inc. (as amended, the “Registration Statement”).

 

As part of the Gadsden Purchase Agreement described above, on March 13, 2019, the parties to the Merger Agreement entered into a letter agreement to terminate the Merger Agreement and the Company withdrew the Registration Statement.

 

Accounting Treatment

For accounting purposes, Gadsden is considered to be acquiring the Company in the Gadsden Transaction. Gadsden was determined to be the “accounting acquirer” based upon the terms of the Gadsden Purchase Agreement which results in the following: (i) Gadsden owning at least 229,101,205 shares of the Company’s common stock and all of the Company’s preferred stock, which gives them approximately 96.25% of the common shares of the Company on a fully-diluted basis following the closing of the Gadsden Purchase Agreement (subject to adjustment as provided for in the Gadsden Purchase Agreement), (ii) Gadsden directors holding a majority of board seats in the Company and (iii) Gadsden management holding all key positions in the management of the Company. Consequently, in accordance with the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification Subtopic 805-40, “Business Combinations: Reverse Acquisitions”, the Gadsden Purchase Agreement will be accounted for as a reverse acquisition using the acquisition method of accounting. Accordingly, the financial statements of Gadsden will be treated as the historical financial statements of the Company, with the results of the entities defined as Pre-merged of the Company being included only from April 6, 2019 and thereafter.

 

Acquired Assets

OPCO is a Delaware limited partnership that was formed on November 1, 2016. The Company is now the sole general partner. Except as otherwise expressly provided in the partnership agreement, the Company, as the general partner, has the exclusive right and full authority and responsibility to manage and operate OPCO’s business. OPCO’s partnership agreement provides for pro rata distributions, except as otherwise agreed, and the right to convert the OPCO units to shares of the Company’s Common Stock.

OPCO owns, directly or through one or more subsidiaries, the properties listed below.

 

Mission Hills Square

 

On January 31, 2019, Gadsden acquired from FDHC, LLC (the “Seller”) all of the outstanding shares of Fremont Hills Development Corporation, a California corporation (“Fremont”), which owns a property known as Mission Hills Square, for approximately $240 million in a combination of cash and stock. In addition, Gadsden paid other consideration for this transaction to First Capital Master Advisor LLC and to affiliates of a Gadsden board member. On February 8, 2019, Gadsden transferred all of its shares of Fremont to OPCO.

 

Mission Hills Square is a new mixed-use development located in Fremont, California and slated for completion in October 2019. Situated in the foothills of the San Francisco Bay Area along Highway 680, Mission Hills Square will offer 158 residential apartment units and more than 53,900 square feet of commercial retail space. Mission Hills future commercial tenants are anticipated to include retail stores, sit-down restaurants, and casual eateries that will serve not only the residents of Mission Hills but also the populations that live in the surrounding areas, as Mission Hills Square will be an easily accessible shopping and dining destination.

 

Fremont has entered into a Construction Loan Agreement, dated January 1, 2018, with Parkview Financial Fund 2015, LP and Trez Capital (2016) Corporation (the “Loan Agreement”) for a loan of up to $65,000 for construction of this project. As of March 31, 2019, Fremont has borrowed $35,300 under the Loan Agreement, which matures on July 31, 2019, subject to the payment of an extension fee of $680 in accordance with the terms of the Loan Agreement payable in full on or prior to June 30, 2019. The Seller is responsible for payment of the extension fee, but there can be no assurance that the Seller will make this payment. Should the payment not be made, the project may not be completed on time, or at all. The extension will give the Seller an additional six months in which to complete the project, which is anticipated to be more time than is necessary to do so. The Seller has agreed to complete construction of the Mission Hills Square project and the Seller and its principals continue to have personal and other guarantees of the Loan Agreement. 

 

Sacramento Home Lots

 

On June 30, 2018, OPCO, through its subsidiaries Gadsden Roseville, LLC and Gadsden Jesse, LLC, acquired two separate investment parcels, referred to as Roseville and Jessie, as part of a single acquisition, for an aggregate purchase price of $3,408 that was paid primarily by issuing shares of Gadsden’s Series A Preferred Stock and the acquisition subsidiaries assuming the existing senior mortgage loans of an initial aggregate amount of approximately $1.,223: (i) $450 with respect to the Roseville parcel (the “ Roseville Loan ”); and (ii) $770 with respect to the to the Jessie parcel (the “ Jessie Loan ”). The Roseville Loan and the Jessie Loan each have an interest rate of 12% per annum and were due October 1, 2013, with respect to the Roseville Loan and September 1, 2014, with respect to the Jessie Loan. The maturity of these obligations has been extended to the end of the second quarter of 2019. The aggregate obligations under the Roseville Loan and the Jessie Loan as of December 31, 2018 is $1,867.

The Jessie parcel is located on Jessie Avenue in Sacramento, California and is an approximately 13.6-acre parcel that is entitled for the development of 94 small lot single family detached homes. The parcels are in established residential neighborhoods.

If upon any such liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company or Deemed Liquidation Event, the assets of the Company available for distribution to its stockholders shall be insufficient to pay the holders of 7% Series A Preferred Stock the full amount to which they shall be entitled, the holders shall share ratably in any distribution of the assets available for distribution in proportion to the respective amounts which would otherwise be payable in respect of the shares held by them upon such distribution if all amounts payable on or with respect to such shares were paid in full.

The holders of 7% Series A Preferred Stock, exclusively and as a separate class and by the vote or written consent of holders of a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of 7% Series A Preferred Stock (the “Series A Requisite Holders”), shall be entitled to appoint one (1) observer to the Company’s board of directors and elect one (1) director; provided that upon an Event of Default, the holders, by the vote or written consent of the Series A Requisite Holders, shall be entitled to appoint two (2) directors as long as such Event of Default is continuing. Any director elected as provided in the preceding sentence may be removed without cause by, and only by, the Series A Requisite Holders. A vacancy in any directorship filled by the holders of 7% Series A Preferred Stock shall be filled only by vote or written consent of the Series A Requisite Holders or by any remaining director or directors elected by the holders of 7% Series A Preferred Stock. Notwithstanding the foregoing no individual shall be permitted to serve on the board of directors or be an observer to the board of directors if he or she or any of his or her affiliates would cause the Company to be disqualified to use Section 506 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, under Section 506(d) thereunder or if any such individual or affiliate is subject to a legal proceeding by any governmental or regulatory authority with respect to the events described in such section.

  alter or change adversely the powers, preferences or rights given to the 7% Series A Preferred Stock or alter or amend the Series A Certificate of Designation;  
       
  amend its articles of incorporation or other charter documents in any manner that adversely affects any rights of the holders of 7% Series A Preferred Stock;  
       
  redeem any shares of preferred stock or common stock (other than pursuant to employee or consultant agreements giving the Company the right to repurchase shares at the original cost thereof upon the termination of services and provided that such repurchase is approved by the board of directors);  
       
  enter into any agreement with respect to any of the foregoing;

Redemption . Unless prohibited by Nevada law governing distributions to stockholders, any or all of the outstanding shares of 7% Series A Preferred Stock may be redeemed by the Company at a price per share equal to the Series A Original Issue Price, plus Series A Accrued Dividends through and including the date of such redemption. The Company must send written notice of the redemption to each holder of record of 7% Series A Preferred Stock not less than forty (40) days prior to each redemption date. Any shares of 7% Series A Preferred Stock that are redeemed or otherwise acquired by the Company or any of its subsidiaries shall be automatically and immediately cancelled and retired and shall not be reissued, sold or transferred.
   
Conversion . From and after the date that is twenty-one (21) consecutive trading days after the date that common stock is listed or admitted for trading on any trading market (which includes OTC markets), holders of 7% Series A Preferred Stock, at their option, and subject to the conversion limitations set forth below, may, at any time and from time to time, convert some or all of their outstanding shares of 7% Series A Preferred Stock into common stock at the then applicable Series A Conversion Rate. The “Series A Conversion Rate” means the number of shares of common stock equal to (x) the Series A Original Issue Price divided by (y) the VWAP per share of common stock during the twenty (20) consecutive trading days prior to the applicable conversion date. VWAP is defined, generally, under the Series A Certificate of Designation as the volume weighted average price for common stock on the applicable trading market (which includes OTC markets), or if the common stock is not so listed and admitted for trading, then other cases, the fair value of a share of common stock as determined by an independent appraiser selected in good faith by a holder of the 7% Series A Preferred Stock and reasonably acceptable to the Company, or the value as agreed by the Series A Requisite Holders and the Company, in each case, subject to the VWAP Minimum Price. The “VWAP Minimum Price” is defined as the following amounts on the following dates or periods: (i) from the first Series A Original Issue Date to the date that is the earlier of (a) nine months after the Series A Original Issue Date or (b) 90 days after the date that the shares of common stock are listed for trading on any national exchange (e.g., the New York Stock Exchange or any market of NASDAQ), the VWAP Minimum Price shall be equal to the Net Asset Value (as defined in the Series A Certificate of Designation) per share as of the Series A Original Issue Date; and (ii) from and after the foregoing date, the VWAP Minimum Price shall be equal to $0.0499 (which amount shall be automatically adjusted to share splits, combinations, reclassifications and similar events). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not effect a conversion to the extent that the Company does not have sufficient authorized shares of common stock. The Company must use its commercially reasonable efforts to file an amendment to its Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation as promptly as possible to increase its authorized shares of common stock to reserve a sufficient number of shares for conversion of the 7% Series A Preferred Stock.
   
Mergers and Business Combinations . In the event of any recapitalization, reclassification or change of common stock (other than changes resulting from a subdivision or combination); a consolidation, merger or combination involving the Company; a sale, conveyance or lease to another corporation of all or substantially all of the Company’s property and assets (other than to one or more of its subsidiaries); or a statutory share exchange (each, a “Business Combination”), which in each case, in each case, as a result of which holders of common stock are entitled to receive stock, other securities, other property or assets (including cash or any combination thereof) with respect to or in exchange for common stock, a holder of 7% Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled thereafter to convert such shares of 7% Series A Preferred Stock into the kind and amount of stock, other securities or other property or assets (including cash or any combination thereof) which the holder would have owned or been entitled to receive upon such business combination as if such holder held a number of shares of common stock equal to the Series A Conversion Rate in effect on the effective date for such business combination, multiplied by the number of shares of 7% Series A Preferred Stock held by such holder. In the event that holders of common stock have the opportunity to elect the form of consideration to be received in such Business Combination, the Company shall make adequate provision whereby the holders of 7% Series A Preferred Stock shall have a reasonable opportunity to determine the form of consideration into which all of the shares of 7% Series A Preferred Stock, treated as a single class, shall be convertible from and after the effective date of such Business Combination. Such determination shall be based on the weighted average of elections made by the holders who participate in such determination, shall be subject to any limitations to which all holders of common stock are subject, such as pro rata reductions applicable to any portion of the consideration payable in such Business Combination, and shall be conducted in such a manner as to be completed by the date which is the earliest of (1) the deadline for elections to be made by holders of common stock and (2) two business days prior to the anticipated effective date of the Business Combination.

If upon any such liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company or Deemed Liquidation Event, the assets of the Company available for distribution to its stockholders shall be insufficient to pay the holders of 10% Series C Preferred Stock the full amount to which they shall be entitled, the holders shall share ratably in any distribution of the assets available for distribution in proportion to the respective amounts which would otherwise be payable in respect of the shares held by them upon such distribution if all amounts payable on or with respect to such shares were paid in full.
   
Voting . Subject to the provisions of the Series C Certificate of Designation, on any matter presented to the stockholders of the Company for their action or consideration at any meeting of stockholders of the Company (or by written consent of stockholders in lieu of meeting), each holder of 10% Series C Preferred Stock shall be entitled to cast the number of votes equal to the number of whole shares of common stock into which the shares of 10% Series C Preferred Stock held by such holder are convertible as of the record date for determining stockholders entitled to vote on such matter (subject to the conversion limitations described below) and shall be entitled to notice of any stockholders’ meeting. Except as provided by law or by the other provisions of the Series C Certificate of Designation, the holders shall vote together with the holders of shares of common stock and 7% Series A Preferred Stock, on an as converted basis, as a single class. In addition, as long as any shares of 10% Series C Preferred Stock are outstanding, the Company shall not, without the affirmative vote of holders of sixty-six and two-thirds percent (66-2/3%) of the issued and outstanding shares of 10% Series C Preferred Stock (the “Series C Requisite Holders”):
   
  except for the issuance of up to 500,000 additional shares of 7% Series A Preferred Stock, create or issue any class of equity securities or other security convertible into or exercisable for any equity security that, in each case, has rights, preferences or privileges senior to the 10% Series C Preferred Stock, whether with respect to dividend and other distribution rights, preference or other rights on redemption, liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company or otherwise;  
       
  alter or change adversely the powers, preferences or rights given to the 10% Series C Preferred Stock or alter or amend the Series C Certificate of Designation;

  incur any indebtedness other than indebtedness incurred in the ordinary course and: (i) the debt of the Company or any of its subsidiaries existing on the date of the first issuance of shares of the 10% Series C Preferred Stock, including convertible promissory notes, (ii) refinancing such existing debt on terms similar in all material respects, (iii) mortgages for real estate assets and/or properties, or (iv) purchase money indebtedness or deferred acquisition payments directly related to real estate investments; provided that the aggregate of such permitted indebtedness does not reduce the net asset value of the real estate investments (free and clear of mortgages and other financing obligations) below the greater of: $75 million or 300% of the aggregate of the Series C Original Issue Price for the shares of 10% Series C Preferred Stock that are issued and outstanding and issued for cash purchase price;

Conversion . All of the shares of 10% Series C Preferred Stock shall automatically be converted without any action on the part of holders into shares of common stock at the applicable Series C Conversion Rate upon the first to occur of: (i) the thirtieth (30th) day after the listing of the common stock on a national exchange; or (ii) the closing date of an underwritten public offering of the common stock providing aggregate gross proceeds to the Company equal to, or in excess of, $15,000,000. The “Series C Conversion Rate” means the number of shares of common stock equal to the Series C Original Issue Price divided by eighty percent (80%) of: (x) the VWAP per share of common stock during the twenty (20) consecutive trading days prior to the applicable conversion date, or (y) in the event of an automatic conversion occurring based on the event described clause (ii) above, the price per share in the public offering. In addition, from and after the date that is thirty (30) consecutive trading days after the date that the common stock is listed or admitted for trading on any trading market (which includes OTC markets), holders of 10% Series C Preferred Stock, at their option, and subject to the conversion limitations set forth below, may, at any time and from time to time, convert some or all of their outstanding shares of 10% Series C Preferred Stock into common stock at the then applicable Series C Conversion Rate. VWAP is defined, generally, under the Series C Certificate of Designation as the volume weighted average price for common stock on the applicable trading market (which includes OTC markets), or if the common stock is not so listed and admitted for trading, then other cases, the fair value of a share of common stock as determined in good faith by the board of directors; provided that if the common stock is not listed or quoted on a trading market, then the VWAP is subject to a minimum price per share of $0.05. Notwithstanding the foregoing, conversion of the 10% Series C Preferred Stock is subject to the following conversion limitations.
   
  The Company shall not effect a conversion to the extent that the Company does not have sufficient authorized shares of common stock. The Company must use its commercially reasonable efforts to file an amendment to its Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation as promptly as possible to increase its authorized shares of common stock to reserve a sufficient number of shares for conversion of the 10% Series C Preferred Stock.
     
  The Company shall not effect any conversion, and a holder shall not have the right to convert shares of its 10% Series C Preferred Stock to the extent that after giving effect to the issuance of shares of common stock upon conversion thereof, the holder (together with the holder’s affiliates), would beneficially own in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation. The “Beneficial Ownership Limitation” is equal to 4.99% of the number of shares of the common stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of common stock upon conversion. Upon no fewer than 61 days’ prior notice to the Company, a holder may increase or decrease the Beneficial Ownership Limitation. Any such increase or decrease will not be effective until the 61st day after such notice is delivered to the Company and shall only apply to such holder and no other holder of shares of 10% Series C Preferred Stock. The number of shares of common stock beneficially owned by the holder and its affiliates shall include the number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion with respect to which such determination is being made, but shall exclude the number of shares of common stock which would be issuable upon (i) conversion of the remaining shares of 10% Series C Preferred Stock beneficially owned by the holder or any of its affiliates and (B) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or non-converted portion of any other securities of the Company, subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein beneficially owned by the holder or any of its affiliates. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

Our Company

 

Our company, founded in 1980, has transitioned from its former business as a skin health company to a company focused on real estate development and asset management, concentrating primarily on investments in, and the management and development of, income producing real estate assets.

 

Until the sale of our consumer products division, we were a global skin health company providing integrated disease management and aesthetic solutions to dermatologists, professional aestheticians and consumers. Starting in 2014, we began to sell off certain business units and product lines and on January 23, 2017, we sold the last then remaining major product line. Following this transaction, we had only minimal operations and assets remaining of immaterial value to our company. In 2018, we sold certain of those assets, remaining inventory and assets of this business line, and now no longer operate within the skin health business.

 

Our focus is now to build our company into a leading real estate, asset management and development company concentrating primarily on investments in high yield income producing assets and other opportunistic commercial properties via direct property ownership and asset management. Our objective is to generate long-term net asset value growth while adhering to institutional best practices and a deep research process for all investments.

 

For income producing properties, we intend to acquire assets that provide recurring income with the potential for income growth over the long-term. We believe there can be an attractive risk/reward profile to such properties based on the location and the underlying creditworthiness of the tenants. We intend to use such income generation to fund additional acquisitions and development opportunities and for general corporate purposes. In addition, we intend to invest in land assets that can be developed into income generating properties or properties for sale. We believe that our size and scale provide an opportunity to take advantage of smaller-tier assets that most traditional investors do not focus on due to size limitations, thus creating unique investment opportunities. In particular, we intend to target assets in secondary and tertiary markets that require minimal capital expenditures but generate initial unlevered cash flow yields that are higher than those in primary markets.

 

A second component of our investment strategy will revolve around sourcing asset management opportunities for which we would operate as an asset manager of real estate properties. We are not structured as a Real Estate Investment Trust, or REIT, thus we have the ability to retain earnings and to operate in real estate asset management, development and peripheral real estate activities, items that may be limited by REIT requirements. We will look to utilize our existing infrastructure to provide economies of scale to owners of real estate assets as we grow our portfolio over time.

 

Existing Portfolio

 

As of March 31, 2019, our real estate portfolio consisted of the following properties.

  

In 2017, we acquired (i) three vacant land sites intended for development as gas stations in northern California, (ii) a majority membership interest in a limited liability company that owns a vacant land site located in Northern California, and (iii) an interest in a limited liability company which owns property located in Los Lunas, New Mexico being developed as a single family residential development. As discussed below, we have entered into contracts to sell two of these vacant land sites.

  

In 2018, our subsidiary, RETPROP I, LLC, completed the acquisition of a 7,738 square foot medical office building in Dayton, Ohio. The building’s former owner, and current tenant, a medical practice, has entered into a lease with us to continue its occupancy through April 2022, with the option to renew that lease for two additional five-year terms.

 

On January 14, 2019, we acquired, from Gadsden (as defined below), a preferred interest in Gadsden Roseville, LLC, which is the sole owner of a parcel located on Roseville Road in Sacramento, California, for a cash payment of $350,000. The Roseville parcel is an approximately 9.6 acres parcel that is titled for the development of approximately 65 small lot single family detached homes.

Gadsden Purchase Agreement

 

On March 13, 2019, we entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with Gadsden Growth Properties, Inc., a Maryland corporation, or Gadsden, pursuant to which Gadsden agreed to transfer and assign to us all of its general partnership interests and Class A limited partnership interests in Gadsden Growth Properties, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership, or OPCO, the operating partnership of Gadsden that holds all of its assets and liabilities, in exchange for shares of our common stock and newly designated 7% Series A Cumulative Convertible Perpetual Preferred Stock, or the 7% Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock, or the Non-Voting Series B Preferred Stock, and 10% Series C Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock, or the 10% Series C Preferred Stock (we refer to this transaction as the Gadsden Transaction).

 

The Stock Purchase Agreement provided that certain shares (referred as Holdback Shares) of common stock issued to Gadsden would be subject to forfeiture based on the reconciliation and adjustment of the net asset value of Gadsden’s assets and Gadsden’s proposed real estate investments that have not closed as of the closing date of the Stock Purchase Agreement (such investments being referred to as the Scheduled Investments).

 

On April 5, 2019, the parties entered into Amendment No. 1 to Stock Purchase Agreement, or Amendment 1, to amend certain provisions of the Stock Purchase Agreement as described below. Following such Amendment 1, closing of the transactions contemplated by the Stock Purchase Agreement was completed on April 5, 2019.

 

Pursuant to Amendment 1, Section 1(a) of the Stock Purchase Agreement was amended to revise the number of shares of 7% Series A Preferred Stock and Non-Voting Series B Preferred Stock to be issued at closing, as well as to revise the timing on issuance of the Holdback Shares. Pursuant to Amendment 1, on April 5, 2019, we issued to Gadsden 430,306,645 shares of common stock, 889,075 shares of 7% Series A Preferred Stock, 11,696,944 shares of Non-Voting Series B Preferred Stock and 2,498,682 shares of 10% Series C Preferred Stock. Amendment 1 provided that 278,178,750 Holdback Shares would be issued to Gadsden upon filing of an amendment to our Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation (such date is referred to as the Charter Amendment Date).

 

On May 2, 2019, the parties entered into Amendment No. 2 to Stock Purchase Agreement, or Amendment 2, to (i) decrease the number of shares of common stock and Holdback Shares issued to Gadsden, and increase the number of shares of Non-Voting Series B Preferred Stock issued, as the result of an error in the original calculation of the shares to be issued; (ii) provide for the issuance of the Holdback Shares on the closing date, rather than the Charter Amendment Date; and (iii) provide for the issuance of certain of the shares of the Non-Voting Series B Preferred Stock and 10% Series C Preferred Stock to FHDC Group, LLC, or FHDC, a stockholder of Gadsden, in exchange for the equivalent number of shares of Gadsden held by it.

 

Specifically, the Amendment provided that we issue the following securities as consideration under the Stock Purchase Agreement, as amended (we refer to such Stock Purchase Agreement, as amended, as the Gadsden Purchase Agreement): (i) to Gadsden, 229,101,205 shares of common stock, of which 110,477,220 shares are designed as Holdback Shares and will be held by Gadsden in a segregated account, or the Gadsden Specified Account, which shall be subject to release in accordance with the terms of the Gadsden Purchase Agreement, and 118,623,985 shares of which will not be subject to the Gadsden Specified Account; (ii) to Gadsden, 889,075 shares of 7% Series A Preferred Stock; (iii) to Gadsden, 6,264,993 shares of Non-Voting Series B Preferred Stock; (iv) to Gadsden, 498,682 shares of 10% Series C Preferred Stock; (v) to FHDC, 5,432,000 shares of Non-Voting Series B Preferred Stock, subject to entry into the Exchange Agreement (as defined below); and (vi) to FHDC, 2,000,000 shares of 10% Series C Preferred Stock (together with the 5,432,000 shares of Non-Voting Series B Preferred Stock referred to above, the FHDC Shares), subject to entry into the Exchange Agreement. 

 

In connection with the Amendment, on May 2, 2019, we entered into a Cancellation and Exchange Agreement, or the Exchange Agreement, with Gadsden and FHDC, pursuant to which FHDC agreed to cancel (i) 5,432,000 shares of its Series B Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock and (ii) 2,000,000 shares of its 10% Series C Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock of Gadsden held by it in exchange for the FHDC Shares.

 

40  

 

In order to effect the forgoing, on May 2, 2019, we cancelled 201,205,440 shares of common stock issued to Gadsden and Gadsden placed a number of its remaining shares equal to the Holdback Shares into the Gadsden Specified Account. In addition, in accordance with the terms of the Exchange Agreement, we cancelled 5,432,000 shares of Non-Voting Series B Preferred Stock and 2,000,000 shares of 10% Series C Preferred Stock issued to Gadsden and issued such shares to FHDC. On May 6, 2019, we also issued an additional 49 shares of Non-Voting Series B Preferred Stock to Gadsden.

 

The number of the Company’s shares issued to Gadsden was based upon an estimated net asset value of Gadsden of $211,573 (the “Contract NAV”). The Contract NAV includes Gadsden’s assets and all of its Scheduled Investments. The Gadsden Purchase Agreement provides for a reconciliation and adjustment of the final net asset value of Gadsden as follows. 

 

If the Contract NAV is more than the Gadsden final net asset value, then the difference, or the Shortfall, will be settled by the transfer of shares of our common stock, at a value equal to 3.771023733 shares of common stock for each $1.00 of Shortfall if the Gadsden final net asset value is $80 million or more (and 2.860407207 for each $1.00 of Shortfall to the extent that the Gadsden final net asset value is less $80 million). The Shortfall will first will be paid by transfer of Holdback Shares by Gadsden to us and such transferred shares will be cancelled. If the amount of the Shortfall is more than the value of the Holdback Shares, then we will issue more shares of common stock to its stockholders of record as of the closing date.

 

Gadsden’s final net asset value will be determined as the fair value of the each of the assets of Gadsden on the closing date and the Scheduled Investments acquired on or prior to May 20, 2019. Such fair value will be determined in accordance with the following:

 

in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles, and shall be derived from our annual report on Form 10-K for either of the fiscal years ended December 31, 2019 or December 31, 2020 with Gadsden having the option to choose which such fiscal year to utilize,

 

as of the date of an appraisal from a licensed appraiser with knowledge of the applicable market that need not be a national firm, or

 

if the Gadsden asset is sold or otherwise disposed of in consideration for cash, the gross cash proceeds from the sale minus any indebtedness or other liabilities relating to the Gadsden asset being sold or otherwise disposed of that were not assumed by the purchaser and that remain indebtedness or other liabilities of the Company following the sale or other disposition.

 

OPCO is a Delaware limited partnership that was formed on November 1, 2016. We are now the sole general partner. Except as otherwise expressly provided in the partnership agreement, we, as the general partner, have the exclusive right and full authority and responsibility to manage and operate OPCO’s business. OPCO owns, directly or through one or more subsidiaries, the following properties:

 

Mission Hills Square, a new mixed-use development located in Fremont, California slated for completion in October 2019. Situated in the foothills of the San Francisco Bay Area along Highway 680, Mission Hills Square will offer 158 residential apartment units and more than 53,900 square feet of commercial retail space. Mission Hills’ future commercial tenants are anticipated to include retail stores, sit-down restaurants, and casual eateries that will serve not only the residents of Mission Hills but also the populations that live in the surrounding areas, as Mission Hills Square will be an easily accessible shopping and dining destination.

 

Two separate investment parcels, referred to as Roseville and Jessie. The Roseville parcel is located on Roseville Road in Sacramento, California and is an approximately 9.6 acres parcel that is entitled for the development of approximately 65 small lot single family detached homes. The Jessie parcel is located on Jessie Avenue in Sacramento, California and is an approximately 13.6-acre parcel that is entitled for the development of 94 small lot single family detached homes. The parcels are in established residential neighborhoods.

Termination of Merger Agreement

 

The parties had previously, on November 8, 2018, entered into an agreement and plan of merger, or the Merger Agreement, among the Company, FC Merger Sub, Inc., a Maryland corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, or FC Merger Sub, Gadsden and OPCO, pursuant to which, subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, FC Merger Sub agreed to merge with and into Gadsden, with Gadsden surviving the merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, which would have been converted into Gadsden Properties, Inc., a Maryland corporation, immediately prior to the merger.

Rental income. For the three months ended March 31, 2019, rental income was $15 thousand compared to $0 in the three months ended March 31, 2018. The increase was due to the acquisition of a rental income producing property in April 2018.

 

General and administrative expenses . For the three months ended March 31, 2019, general and administrative expenses were approximately $0.59 million and are mainly comprised of payroll and related expenses, professional service, rent and other operating expenses. For the three months ended March 31, 2018, general and administrative expenses were approximately $1.2 million.

 

42  

 

Revaluation of option to purchase redeemable convertible preferred stock . For the three months ended March 31, 2018, the revaluation of the option to purchase redeemable convertible preferred stock decreased by approximately $0.27 million due to the decrease in the conversion rate of the underlying redeemable convertible preferred stock, which caused the fair value of the instrument to decrease.

 

Interest and other financing expense, net . Net interest and other financing expense related to our notes payable and currency conversion differences for the three months ended March 31, 2019 was approximately $71 thousand. Net interest and other financing expense related to our notes payable and currency conversion differences for the three months ended March 31, 2018 was approximately $34 thousand.

 

Loss from discontinued operations . For the three months ended March 31, 2018, we recognized a loss of approximately $0.13 million related to the discontinued operations as a result of the sale of residual inventory to third parties, offset in part by historical tax assessments and adjustments.

 

Net Loss . The factors discussed above resulted in net loss, including discontinued operations, of approximately $0.64 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019, as compared to net loss of approximately $3.70 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.

 

As of March 31, 2019, we had an accumulated deficit of approximately $140.3 million and stockholders’ deficit of approximately $0.6 million. To date, and subsequent to the recent sale of our last significant business unit, we have dedicated most of our financial resources to general and administrative expenses.

 

We have historically financed our activities with cash from operations, the private placement of equity and debt securities, borrowings under lines of credit and, in recent periods, with sale of certain assets and business units.

 

We will be required to obtain additional liquidity resources in order to support our operations. At this time, there is no guarantee that we will be able to obtain an adequate level of financial resources required for the short and long-term support of our operations or that we will be able to obtain additional financing as needed, or meet the conditions of such financing, or that the costs of such financing may not be prohibitive.

 

The Gadsden transaction, completed on April 5, 2019, provided no additional working capital or cash for us.

Summary of Cash Flows

 

The following table provides detailed information about our net cash flow:

 

Cash Flow

(In thousands)

 

   

Three Months Ended

March 31,

 
    2019     2018  
Net cash used in operating activities   $ (568 )   $ (808 )
Net cash used in investing activities     (350 )      
Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities     (1 )     2,023  
Effect of exchange rate changes on cash     (4 )     21  
Net increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents     (923 )     1,236  
Cash and cash equivalents at beginning of period     1,840       948  
Cash and cash equivalents at end of period   $ 917     $ 2,184  

 

Net cash used in operating activities was approximately $0.57 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019, compared to approximately $0.81 million net cash used in operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2018. The primary reason for the change was the wind-down of the former business operations ahead of the acquisition of income-producing real estate properties, in the 2018 period.

 

Net cash used in investing activities was $0.35 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019, compared to $0 provided by for the three months ended March 31, 2018. Our net cash used in investing activities in the three months ended March 31, 2019 was for the purchase of Roseville.

 

Net cash used in financing activities was approximately $1 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2019, compared to $2.02 million net cash provided by financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2018. See discussion below.

 

Private Placement

On December 22, 2017, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with Opportunity Fund I SS, LLC, or OFI, under which OFI could invest up to $15 million in us in a series of closings, in exchange for which OFI would receive shares of Series B Preferred Stock at a purchase price of $1.00 per share.

  

On December 22, 2017, we completed the first closing, pursuant to which OFI provided $1.5 million to us in exchange for 1,500,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock. On January 24, 2018, we completed a second closing, pursuant to which OFI provided $2.2 million to us in exchange for 2,225,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock. On August 24, 2018, we completed a third closing, pursuant to which OFI provided $0.1 million to us in exchange for 100,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock. OFI could, but was not obligated to, make additional investments in one or more subsequent closings until an aggregate amount of $15 million was invested or the Securities Purchase Agreement was terminated in accordance with its terms. Through December 31, 2018, we had raised approximately $5,725,000 from OFI under the Securities Purchase Agreement, and no additional amounts were raised during the three months ended March 31, 2019.

Remediation Agreement

 

On September 24, 2018, we entered into a Remediation Agreement with OFI and the Note Holders. Pursuant to the Remediation Agreement, the Stock Grant Agreement was terminated, the shares issued to the Note Holders were cancelled, and we issued to the Note Holders an aggregate of 7,485,627 shares of newly-designated Series C Preferred Stock. In addition, the resignations of Dr. Rafaeli and Mr. McGrath from our Board of Directors, which were previously effective upon certain events set forth in the Stock Grant Agreement, will now become effective upon the last to occur of (i) receipt of all of the shares of common stock underlying the shares of Series C Preferred Stock and (ii) the date that the shares of common stock underlying the shares of Series C Preferred Stock are registered for re-sale in accordance with the Registration Rights Agreement described below.

 

In addition, the Securities Purchase Agreement with OFI (subject to the survival of certain provisions identified in the Remediation Agreement), a Supplemental Agreement between us and OFI and a Cancellation and Exchange Agreement between us and OFI, each dated April 20, 2018, were terminated, the Series B Preferred Stock issued to OFI was cancelled and we issued to OFI 6,217,490 shares of newly-designated Series D Preferred Stock. In addition, OFI agreed to purchase $0.10 million of shares of Series D Preferred Stock for a purchase price of $0.65 per share on the last day of each month, until it has purchased an aggregate of $0.50 million of shares of Series D Preferred Stock; provided that, upon closing of any material business combination involving us that is approved by OFI, OFI agreed to purchase an additional $1.5 million of shares of Series D Preferred Stock at a price of $0.65 per share. Notwithstanding the foregoing, from and after the date that stockholder approval of the conversion of shares issued under the Remediation Agreement has been obtained, instead of purchasing shares of Series D Preferred Stock, OFI agreed to purchase shares of common stock at a price of $0.65 per share.

 

On September 28, 2018, a first closing under the Remediation Agreement was completed, pursuant to which OFI provided $0.10 million to us in exchange for 153,846 shares of Series D Preferred Stock.

 

On October 31, 2018, a second closing under the Remediation Agreement was completed, pursuant to which OFI provided $0.10 million to us in exchange for 153,846 shares of Series D Preferred Stock.

 

On November 29, 2018, our stockholders approved the Remediation Agreement and all shares of Series D Preferred Stock issued to OFI were converted into 6,619,483 shares of common stock and all shares of Series C Preferred Stock issued to the Note Holders were converted into 7,485,627 shares of common stock.

 

On November 29, 2018, a third closing under the Remediation Agreement was completed, pursuant to which OFI provided $0.10 million to us in exchange for 153,846 shares of common stock.

 

On December 31, 2018, OFI agreed, notwithstanding the investment schedule set forth in the Remediation Agreement, to provide the remaining funds to us, and the parties completed a final closing under the Remediation Agreement, pursuant to which OFI provided $1.6 million to us in exchange for 2,461,538 shares of common stock.

 

On December 31, 2018, OFI also provided an additional $0.2 million to us in exchange for 1,333,333 shares of common stock, or a purchase price of $0.15 per share, pursuant to a Letter Agreement, dated December 29, 2018, with OFI.

 

45  

 

The Remediation Agreement also terminated two Voting Agreements, dated December 22, 2017, among OFI, the Note Holders and certain other security holders, the Registration Rights Agreement, dated December 22, 2017, between us and OFI, and the Registration Rights Agreement, dated December 22, 2017, between us and the Note Holders.

 

On September 24, 2018, in connection with the Remediation Agreement, we entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with OFI and the Note Holders, pursuant to which we agreed to register all shares of common stock that may be issued upon conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock and Series D Preferred Stock, as well as all other shares of capital stock held by OFI (referred to as the Registrable Securities), under the Securities Act. We agreed to file a registration statement covering the resale of such Registrable Securities within 30 days of the date of the Registration Rights Agreement and cause such registration statement to be declared effective under the Securities Act as soon as possible but, in any event, no later than 120 days following the filing date if such registration statement is filed on Form S-3 or 150 days if such registration statement is filed on Form S-1. If such registration statement is not filed or declared effective by the SEC on or prior to such dates, or if after such registration statement is declared effective, without regard for the reason thereunder or efforts therefor, such registration statement ceases for any reason to be effective for more than an aggregate of 30 trading days during any 12-month period, which need not be consecutive, then in addition to any other rights the holders of Registrable Securities may have under the Registration Rights Agreement or under applicable law, we shall pay to each holder an amount in cash, as partial liquidated damages and not as a penalty, equal to 1.0% of the product obtained by multiplying (x) $1.00 by (y) the number of shares of Registrable Securities held by the holder (referred to as the Investment Amount); provided that, in no event will we be liable for liquidated damages in excess of 1.0% of the Investment Amount in any single month and that the maximum aggregate liquidated damages payable to the holders under the Registration Rights Agreement shall be ten percent (10%) of the Investment Amount. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the filing and effective date deadlines above shall be tolled (i.e., extended), during such time as we are actively pursuing a business combination involving us that is approved by each of OFI and the Note Holders. As result of the Gadsden Transaction (and prior potential merger), the filing and effective date deadlines above are currently under extension.

 

Note Payable

 

In connection with the closing under the Contribution Agreement on May 17, 2017, we assumed an installment note, dated April 7, 2015, made by FCOP in favor of George Zambelli in the original principal amount of $470 thousand and a Long Form Deed of Trust and Assignment of Rents, dated April 7, 2015, between First Capital Real Estate Investments, LLC, as trustor, Fidelity National Title Company, as trustee, and George Zambelli, as beneficiary, which secures the note. The note carries a per annum interest rate of 8% which is payable on a monthly basis from the initial closing date. As of March 31, 2019, the note amounted to $454 thousand ($449 out of which is classified as non-current note payable) and has a maturity date of April 10, 2020.

 

During 2017, we entered into a note with a previous vendor for payment of its outstanding liabilities. The note carries a per annum interest rate of 10%. Due to its reduced cash flow, we ceased payment under the note in July 2018 and the unpaid balance was $663 as of December 31, 2017.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

At March 31, 2019, we had no off-balance sheet arrangements.

 

Impact of Inflation

 

We have not operated in a highly inflationary period, and do not believe that inflation has had a material effect on revenues or expenses.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

There have been no material changes to the critical accounting policies previously disclosed in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

Commencing January 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASU No. 2016-02 (Topic 842) “Leases”. Topic 842 supersedes the lease requirements in ASC Topic 842, “Leases”, which lessees are required to recognize assets and liabilities on the balance sheet for most leases and provide enhanced disclosures. ASU No. 2016-02 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. In July 2018, the FASB issued amendments in ASU 2018-11, which provide a transition election to not restate comparative periods for the effects of applying the new standard. This transition election permits entities to change the date of initial application to the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented, or retrospectively at the beginning of the period of adoption through a cumulative-effect adjustment. The guidance had no material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

 

Commencing January 1, 2018, we adopted ASU 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): “Restricted Cash”, which requires companies to include amounts generally described as restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents in cash and cash equivalents when reconciling beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows. The amendments in this update are effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. This guidance had no material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

 

In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09, “Compensation-Stock Compensation”. The amendment provides guidance about which changes to terms or conditions of a share-based payment award require an entity to apply modification accounting. The guidance became effective for the fiscal year beginning on January 1, 2018, including interim periods within that year. This guidance had no material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

 

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

 

Not applicable.

 

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Disclosure controls and procedures refer to controls and other procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC 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.

 

As required by Rule 13a-15(e) of the Exchange Act, our management has carried out an evaluation, with the participation and under the supervision of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as of March 31, 2019. Based upon, and as of the date of this evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer determined that, because of the material weakness described in Item 9A “Controls and Procedures” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018, which we are in the process of remediating as of March 31, 2019, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective. This evaluation as of March 31, 2019 should be read in conjunction with Item 9A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018 for the description of this material weakness.

 

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

We regularly review our system of internal control over financial reporting and make changes to our processes and systems to improve controls and increase efficiency, while ensuring that we maintain an effective internal control environment. Changes may include such activities as implementing new, more efficient systems, consolidating activities, and migrating processes. During its evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2019, our management identified a material weakness in the internal control of the company.

 

47  

 

This material weakness was associated with a lack of sufficient internal controls (including IT and general controls) that encompass our company as a whole with respect to entity and transactions level controls in order to ensure complete documentation of complex and non-routine transactions and adequate financial reporting. We are undertaking remedial measures, which will take time to implement and test, to address this material weakness. There can be no assurance that such measures will be sufficient to remedy the material weakness identified or that additional material weaknesses or other control or significant deficiencies will not be identified in the future. If we continue to experience material weaknesses in our internal controls or fail to maintain or implement required new or improved controls, such circumstances could cause us to fail to meet our periodic reporting obligations or result in material misstatements in our financial statements, or adversely affect the results of periodic management evaluations and, if required, annual auditor attestation reports.

 

We are remediating this material weakness by, among other things, implementing a process of enhanced, multi-stage review of the identification and valuation of all assets to be acquired by our company, including verification of identifying indicators for each asset. The actions that we are taking are subject to ongoing senior management review, including review as well as oversight by our Audit Committee. Management believes the foregoing efforts will effectively remediate the material weakness incurred in 2018 by implementing best practices in 2019 and reevaluating the effectiveness over the course of the year.

 

Other than in connection with the implementation of the remedial measures described above, there were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during the first quarter of fiscal 2019 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
