NOTE A – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Nature of Business

 

Numerex Corp. (NASDAQ: NMRX) (the “Company”) is a holding company incorporated in Pennsylvania, and through its subsidiaries, is a single source, leading provider of managed enterprise solutions enabling the Internet of Things (IoT). An IoT solution is generally viewed as a combination of devices, software and services that operate with little or no human interaction. Our managed IoT solutions are simple, innovative, scalable and secure. Our solutions incorporate each of the four key IoT building blocks – Device, Network, Application and Platform. We provide our technology and service solutions through our integrated IoT horizontal platforms, which are generally sold on a subscription basis. Foreign operations were not significant to us for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 or 2016.

 

Basis of Presentation

 

We prepared the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, referred to as GAAP, for interim financial information and the Rules and Regulations issued by the Securities Exchange Commission, or SEC, as applicable. These financial statements include all of our accounts and those of our wholly-owned subsidiaries. We have eliminated intercompany transactions and balances in consolidation. Certain prior period amounts in the condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto have been reclassified to conform to the current period’s presentation.

 

Certain information and note disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted, although we believe that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information not misleading. In the opinion of management, the accompanying financial statements reflect all adjustments, which consist of normal recurring adjustments unless otherwise disclosed, considered necessary for a fair presentation of our financial position as of June 30, 2017 and our operating results and cash flows for the interim periods presented. The accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2016 was derived from our audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP. The financial information presented herein should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 which includes information and disclosures not included in this quarterly report.

 

Estimates and Assumptions

 

The preparation of financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates. Operating results for the three or six months ended June 30, 2017 may not be indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2017 or any future periods.

 

Liquidity

 

The Company incurred an operating loss totaling $3.7 million and cash used in operations was $2.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017. The Company also incurred an operating loss totaling $22.8 million and cash used in operations totaled $0.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2016. As of June 30, 2017, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $55.4 million, and cash and cash equivalents of $5.6 million. The Company’s cash flow requirements during the fiscal year 2016 and to date in 2017 were financed by cash on hand, cash generated by operations, and proceeds from the recent financing with Hale Capital Partners LP described in Note F below. The Company had total term debt (net of deferred financing costs), including current portion, of $15.1 million as of June 30, 2017. The Company’s ability to continue in business is dependent on its ability to continue to generate operating cash flows, to maintain sufficient cash on hand, to raise additional capital, and to control expenditures. Management believes that the Company will maintain sufficient liquidity through at least August 2018. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from this uncertainty.

 

Restricted Cash

 

As of June 30, 2017, and 2016, cash of $0.2 million was held in escrow related to certain vendor obligations.
