Recent Developments

 

Australia

 

On July 30, 2014, the Company entered into a waiver agreement (the “Waiver”) with holders (“Holders”) of a majority of the outstanding senior secured convertible notes (“Notes”) and warrants that were sold pursuant to a securities purchase agreement dated December 4, 2012 (Purchase Agreement). The Notes are secured by a first priority lien on the assets of the Company and subsidiaries pursuant to a security and pledge agreement (the “Security Agreement”) dated December 4, 2012 by the Company and subsidiaries in favor of Worldwide Stock Transfer LLC (the “Collateral Agent”), in its capacity as collateral agent for the Holders. As a result of the Waiver, the Collateral Agent released the stock of The Pride Group (QLD) Pty Ltd. (“Pride”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, from collateral pursuant to the Security Agreement.

 

On July 31, 2014 (the “Closing Date”), the Company completed the sale of Pride to Turquino Equity LLC, a limited liability company (“Turquino”), whose managing member is Andrew Hidalgo (“Hidalgo”), former Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company. The closing of the sale was pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, dated September 19, 2013, by and between WPCS Australia Pty Ltd (“WPCS Australia”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, and Turquino (the “Agreement”).

 

Pursuant to the Agreement, WPCS Australia agreed to sell 100% of the shares of Pride to Turquino for $1,400,000 (“Purchase Price”), which Purchase Price was subject to adjustment based on the net tangible asset value (“NTAV”) of Pride on the Closing Date. In the event that the NTAV was less than AUD$1.4 million on the Closing Date, WPCS Australia was required to pay Turquino an amount equal to the shortfall between the NTAV as of the Closing Date and AUD$1.4 million. At the closing, the Purchase Price was to be settled by applying the net after tax severance balance due Hidalgo under his separation agreement, dated July 24, 2013 by and between Hidalgo and the Company (the “Severance Agreement”), as payment towards the Purchase Price.

Pursuant to a letter agreement, dated July 31, 2014, by and between WPCS Australia and Turquino (the “Letter Agreement”), the parties agreed that the NTAV of Pride on the Closing Date was $970,000. By the Letter Agreement, Hidalgo agreed to reduce the total severance owed to him under the Severance Agreement by $168,000, which reduced the total severance due Hidalgo to $970,000, the NTAV of Pride on the Closing Date. As a result, the Company was not required to make any further payment to Hidalgo pursuant to the Severance Agreement.

 

WPCS International - Seattle, Inc.

 

On September 30, 2014 the Company sold substantially all of the assets of the Seattle Operations to EC Company, an Oregon-based electrical contracting company EC for an all-cash purchase price of approximately $2,120,000. The final purchase price is subject to adjustment based on the net tangible asset value (“NTAV”) of the Seattle Operations as of September 30, 2014. Prior to closing, the parties agreed that the closing NTAV of the Seattle Operations was approximately $1,870,000. The Company received approximately $1,460,000 in cash, while approximately $410,000 was held in escrow for the payment of certain payroll liabilities. In addition, 90 days from the closing date, the Company could receive the remaining $250,000, which is also currently being held in escrow, dependent upon the final NATV calculation.

 

In December 2014, the Company received approximately $99,000 out of the escrow account in full settlement of the sale, based upon an adjusted discount target NATV of $1,973,000.​

 

Authorized Shares Correction

 

In December 2014, the Company determined that it did not have the authority to decrease the number of authorized shares pursuant to the Certificate of Amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation of the Company filed on May 16, 2013 (the “Certificate of Amendment”) because it lacked stockholder approval. The Certificate of Amendment effectuated a one-for-seven reverse split (the “Reverse Split”) of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Common Stock”), as of May 28, 2013, and at the same time, erroneously reduced the number of authorized shares of Common Stock by the same ratio, from 100,000,000 to 14,285,715.

 

The Company’s stockholders had previously approved the Reverse Split as well as an increase in the number of authorized shares of Common Stock to 100,000,000 at the Company’s annual meeting of stockholders on February 28, 2013 (the “Annual Meeting”). Following the Annual Meeting, on March 4, 2013, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment to its Certificate of Incorporation increasing the number of authorized shares of Common Stock to 100,000,000. The amendment became effective on filing. Subsequently, on May 16, 2013, the Company filed the Certificate of Amendment, which erroneously reduced the authorized shares of Common Stock effective May 28, 2013.

 

The Company has determined, with the advice of special Delaware counsel, to file a Certificate of Correction to the Certificate of Amendment in order that the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation accurately reflects that the total number of authorized shares of Common Stock is 100,000,000 (the “Certificate of Correction”), the number the stockholders approved at the Annual Meeting.. The Certificate of Correction was filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on December 19, 2014.

 

Based upon the above, the Company has concluded that even though this inadvertent error was made, it was always in the Company’s control to correct the error at anytime simply by filing a Certificate of Correction, which would not require shareholder approval, and therefore sufficient authorized and unissued shares were always available to settle the Notes and attached warrants with consideration given to all other outstanding share-settled contracts. The Company expects to fully keep an amount reserved for possible conversion of Notes and exercise of warrants. Therefore, equity classification is not precluded to the conversion option on the Notes and the warrants. As a result of the correction of this error certain descriptions regarding the authorized shares have been corrected in the accompanying financial statements. The Company has also determined that there is no material financial statement effect impact as a result of this change.

 

NASDAQ Listing Requirements

 

On November 3, 2014, the Company received a letter from the Staff of the Listing Qualifications Department (the “Staff”) of NASDAQ indicating that for the last 30 consecutive business days, the closing bid price of the Company’s common stock has been below $1.00 per share, the minimum closing bid price required by the continued listing requirements of NASDAQ, as set forth in Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the "Rule").

 

In accordance with Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company has been granted 180 calendar days, or until May 4, 2015, to regain compliance with the Rule (the "Compliance Period"). To regain compliance, the closing bid price of the Company’s common stock must be at least $1.00 per share for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days, but generally no more than 20 business days, during the Compliance Period.

 

If the Company does not regain compliance with the Rule by May 4, 2015, NASDAQ will provide written notification to the Company that its common stock may be delisted. However, the Company would be entitled to an additional 180-day period from May 4, 2015 to regain compliance, if, on May 4, 2015, the Company meets the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares and all other initial listing standards for The NASDAQ Capital Market, with the exception of the bid price requirement, and the Company would need to provide written notice to NASDAQ of its intention to cure the deficiency during the second compliance period by effecting a reverse stock split, if necessary.

 

10
 

  

There is no assurance as to the price at which the Company’s common stock will trade. The Company intends to actively monitor the bid price for its common stock during the Compliance Period, and if the common stock continues to trade below the minimum bid price required for continued listing, the Company’s board of directors will consider its options to regain compliance with the continued listing requirements.

 

Hudson Bay Exchange Agreement

 

On September 30, 2014, the Board of Directors of the Company approved the filing of and filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware a Certificate of Designations, Preferences and Rights of Series F Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series F Certificate of Designation”) and a Certificate of Designations, Preferences and Rights of Series G Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series G Certificate of Designation”).

 

On September 30, 2014 (the “Closing Date”), the Company entered into an Amendment, Waiver and Exchange Agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”) with Hudson Bay Master Fund Ltd.

Liquidity and Going Concern

 

The accompanying unaudited 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. For the three and six months ended October 31, 2014, the Company incurred losses from continuing operations of ($3,423,000) and ($6,658,000), respectively and had a condensed consolidated net loss of ($3,770,000) and ($6,056,000), respectively. At October 31, 2014, the Company had a working capital deficiency of approximately $2,425,000, which consisted of current assets of approximately $14,363,000 and current liabilities of $16,789,000. The Company’s continuation as a going concern beyond the next twelve months and the ability to discharge its liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business is ultimately dependent upon the execution of its future plans, which include the following: (1) the Company’s ability to generate future operating income, reduce operating expenses and produce cash from the operating activities, which will be affected by general economic, competitive, and other factors, many of which are beyond our control; (2) the repayment of, either or the modification of the terms under a forbearance agreement with Zurich; (3) the forbearance or waiver of the Events of Default under the Notes; (4) the settlement of the claim with the Camden County Improvement Authority for work at the Cooper Medical Center of Rowan University; and (5) obtaining additional funds through financing or sale of assets. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. There can be no assurance that our plans to ensure continuation as a going concern will be successful.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Use of Estimates

 

In preparing financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and revenue and expenses during the reporting period. The most significant estimates relate to the calculation of percentage-of-completion on uncompleted contracts, allowance for doubtful accounts, realization of deferred tax assets, capitalization of software costs, and valuation of equity instruments. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

 

Accounts Receivable

 

Accounts receivable are due within contractual payment terms and are stated at amounts due from customers net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. Credit is extended based on evaluation of a customer's financial condition. Accounts outstanding longer than the contractual payment terms are considered past due. The Company determines its allowance by considering a number of factors, including the length of time trade accounts receivable are past due, the Company's previous loss history, the customer's current ability to pay its obligation to the Company, and the condition of the general economy and the industry as a whole. The Company writes off accounts receivable when they become uncollectible, and payments subsequently received on such receivables are credited to the allowance for doubtful accounts. There was one customer who comprised approximately 29.2% of the total accounts receivable.  Included in the accounts receivable is retainage receivable of $1,117,000 and $635,000 at October 31, 2014 and April 30, 2014, respectively, such amounts are anticipated to be collected within the next fiscal year.

 

Approximately $4,175,000 of account receivables are associated with our China Operations, of which approximately $485,000 is aged longer than one (1) year, and it is expected that the remaining balance will be collected between six (6) to twelve (12) months.

    

 Revenue Recognition

 

The Company generates its revenue by offering low voltage communications infrastructure contracting services. The Company’s contracting services report revenue pursuant to customer contracts that span varying periods of time. The Company reports revenue from contracts when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, fees are fixed or determinable, and collection is reasonably assured.

  

The Company records revenue and profit from long-term contracts on a percentage-of-completion basis, measured by the percentage of contract costs incurred to date to the estimated total costs for each contract. Contracts in process are valued at cost plus accrued profits less earned revenues and progress payments on uncompleted contracts. Contract costs include direct materials, direct labor, third party subcontractor services and those indirect costs related to contract performance. Contracts are generally considered substantially complete when engineering is completed and/or site construction is completed.

 

The Company has numerous contracts that are in various stages of completion. Such contracts require estimates to determine the appropriate cost and revenue recognition. Cost estimates are reviewed monthly on a contract-by-contract basis, and are revised periodically throughout the life of the contract such that adjustments to profit resulting from revisions are made cumulative to the date of the revision. Significant management judgments and estimates, including the estimated cost to complete projects, which determines the project’s percent complete, must be made and used in connection with the revenue recognized in the accounting period. Current estimates may be revised as additional information becomes available. If estimates of costs to complete long-term contracts indicate a loss, provision is made currently for the total loss anticipated.

  

The length of the Company’s contracts varies but is typically between three months and two years. Assets and liabilities related to long-term contracts are included in current assets and current liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as they will be liquidated in the normal course of contract completion, although this may require more than one year.

 

The Company records revenue and profit from short-term contracts for the China Operations under the completed contract method, whereas income is recognized only when a contract is completed or substantially completed. The company recognizes their proportional revenue amount of the contract after subcontractor portions are allocated. The company pays subcontractors on a project when their work is completed which may be before the entire project is complete and the customer is invoiced and revenue is recognized for the Company’s proportional amount of the project.

 

Accordingly, during the period of performance, billings and deferred contract costs are accumulated on the consolidated balance sheets as deferred contract costs, but no revenue or income is recorded before completion or substantial completion of the work. The Company’s decision is based on the short-term nature of the work performed. Deferred contract costs represent payments to subcontractors of approximately $841,000 and $681,000 as of October 31, 2014 and April 30, 2014, respectively.

 

The Company also recognizes certain revenue from short-term contracts when the services have been provided to the customer. For maintenance contracts, revenue is recognized ratably over the service period.

  

Fair Value of Series F and Series G Preferred Stock

 

The fair value of the Series F and Series G convertible preferred stock was based on unobservable inputs as defined by ASC Topic 820. The Company estimated the fair value of the Series F and Series G assumptions that market participants would use in their estimates of fair value. Some of these assumptions include estimates for expected dividends and the fair value of the underlying common stock.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

In April 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2014-08 “Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity.” ASU No. 2014-08 changes the criteria for reporting discontinued operations and modifies related disclosure requirements. The new guidance is effective on a prospective basis for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2014, and interim periods within annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2015. The Company is currently assessing the future impact of ASU No. 2014-08 on its financial statements.

 

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers,” which provides guidance for revenue recognition. The standard’s core principle is that a company will recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The new guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period. Early application is not permitted. The Company is currently assessing the potential impact of ASU No. 2014-09 on its financial statements.

 

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15, Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern (“ASU No. 2014-15”) that will require management to evaluate whether there are conditions and events that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the financial statements are issued on both an interim and annual basis. Management will be required to provide certain footnote disclosures if it concludes that substantial doubt exists or when its plans alleviate substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. ASU No. 2014-15 becomes effective for annual periods beginning in 2016 and for interim reporting periods starting in the first quarter of 2017. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2014-15 on its financial statements.

 

Significant Accounting Policies

 

There have been no material changes in the Company’s significant accounting policies to those previously disclosed in the 2014 Annual Report. 

 

NOTE 3 - BASIC AND DILUTED NET LOSS PER COMMON SHARE

 

Basic and diluted net loss per common share from continuing operations is computed as net loss from continuing operations less non-controlling interest and dividends on preferred stock, divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted net loss per common share reflects the potential dilution that could occur from common stock issuable through exercise of stock options, warrants and Note conversions.

 

The following were excluded from the computation of diluted shares outstanding due to the losses from continuing operations for the three and six months ended October 31, 2014, as they would have had an anti-dilutive impact on the Company’s net loss.

 

   As of
October 31, 2014
 
      
Common stock equivalents:     
Stock options   79,207 
Series E preferred stock   469,714 
Series F preferred stock   5,268,000 
Series G preferred stock   2,561,963

Totals   41,207,733 

 

NOTE 4 - CAPITALIZED SOFTWARE

 

The Company performed reviews of the recoverability of such capitalized software costs.  Based upon the sale of BTX on November 26, 2014, a determination was made that approximately $1.8 million of capitalized software was recoverable (See Note 1).  During the quarter ended October 31, 2014, the Company recognized an impairment loss of $827,000, relating to non-recoverable capitalized software development costs. The impairment charge which reduced the capitalized costs related to a specific software project to $1.8 million were based on non-recurring Level 3 fair value measurement and which are based on unobservable inputs (which reflect the Company’s internal markets assumptions) that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the asset.

The gross carrying amounts and accumulated amortization related to the acquired intangible assets as of October 31, 2014 are as follows:

 

Capitalized Software at April 30, 2014, net  $3,207,305 
Additions acquired   2,279 
Less: amortization expense   534,730 
Less: impairment loss   827,448 
Capitalized Software at October 31, 2014, net  $1,847,406 

 

The Company incurred amortization expense associated with its finite-lived intangible assets of $267,000 and $0 for the three months ended October 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and $535,000 and $0 for the six months ended October 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

 

NOTE 5 - COSTS AND ESTIMATED EARNINGS ON UNCOMPLETED CONTRACTS

 

The asset, “Costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts”, represents revenue recognized in excess of amounts billed. The liability, “Billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts”, represents billings in excess of revenue recognized. Costs and estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts consist of the following at October 31, 2014 and April 30, 2014:

 

   October 31, 2014   April 30, 2014 
         
Costs incurred on uncompleted contracts  $22,752,512   $14,457,907 
Estimated contract earnings   4,919,540    3,291,077 
    27,672,052    17,748,984 
Less: Billings to date   29,427,293    18,766,199 
Total  $(1,755,241)  $(1,017,215)
           
Costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts  $319,066   $431,348 
Billings in excess of cost and estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts   2,074,307    1,448,563 
Total  $(1,755,241)  $(1,017,215)

 

Revisions in the estimated gross profits on contracts and contract amounts are made in the period in which circumstances requiring the revisions become known. Although management believes it has established adequate procedures for estimating costs to complete on open contracts, it is at least reasonably possible that additional significant costs could occur on contracts prior to completion.

 

Although management believes it has established adequate procedures for estimating costs to complete open contracts, additional costs could occur on contracts prior to completion.

 

NOTE 6 - SENIOR SECURED CONVERTIBLE NOTES

 

Initial Proceeds from Issuance

 

On December 4, 2012, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with the Holders, pursuant to which, the Company sold an aggregate of (i) $4,000,000 principal amount of Notes and (ii) warrants (the Warrants) to purchase 2,275,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, to the Holders for aggregate gross proceeds of $4,000,000 (the Financing). In connection with the Financing, (i) the Company entered into a registration rights agreement with the Holders (the Registration Rights Agreement), (ii) the Company and its subsidiaries entered into the Security Agreement, and (iii) subsidiaries of the Company entered into a guaranty in favor of the Collateral Agent for the Holders (the Guaranty). The Closing Date of the Financing was December 5, 2012.

 

Pursuant to the terms of the Notes, the Company deposited the initial funds received from the Financing, minus $2,179,000 (Initial Lending Amount), which went into the Lockbox Account controlled by the Collateral Agent, as collateral agent on behalf of the Holders. The Company used the Initial Lending Amount to repay the existing loan of $2,000,000, plus $79,000 of interest accrued and fees and expenses to Sovereign Bank, N.A., which credit agreement was terminated in connection with the Notes, and $100,000 for Holder legal fees in connection with the Notes.

Amendment, Waiver and Exchange Agreement

 

On October 25, 2013, the Company entered into an Amendment, Waiver and Exchange Agreement (Amendment) with the Holders that amended the conversion features of the Warrants and Notes. Pursuant to the Amendment, the Holders exchanged 155,000 of their Warrants for 39,000 shares of common stock (the Shares) and warrants to purchase 155,000 shares of common stock (Exchange Warrants). Effectively, for every four Warrants surrendered, the Holder received a unit of four Exchange Warrants and one share of common stock. It was determined that the Black-Scholes value of one Warrant being exchanged was equal to $1.83, resulting in four Warrants being equal to $7.32 and the parties valued the unit at a price of $7.52. As a result, the shares of common stock issued were calculated at $0.20, and by the operation of the terms of the Notes, the conversion price of the Notes automatically adjusted to $0.20. The Exchange Warrants are exercisable for a period of five years from the date of issuance of the original Warrants at an initial exercise price of $2.15 per share. The exercise price will only adjust in the event of any future stock splits or dividends.

 

Pursuant to the Amendment, the Holders permanently waived, effective as of October 24, 2013, various provisions of the remaining 2,120,000 Warrants, including the anti-dilution protection from the issuance of securities at a price lower than the exercise price, the adjustment to market price on the first anniversary of the date of issuance of the Warrants and the Black-Scholes valuation upon the occurrence of a Fundamental Transaction (as defined in the Warrants). As a result of these waivers, the exercise price of the Warrants will only adjust in the event of any future stock splits or dividends. The Exercise Price of the Warrants remains at $2.15 per share. The Amendment resulted in 2,120,000 Warrants and 155,000 Exchange Warrants having the same terms, conditions and rights.

 

Further, the Holders agreed to waive any defaults through February 28, 2014 relating to the failure of the Company to have enough authorized shares of common stock available for issuance upon conversion of the Notes and/or exercise of the Warrants.

 

Amendment to Notes

 

Effective October 31, 2013, the Company entered into an amendment agreement (the Note Amendment) with the Holders. The Note Amendment eliminated certain features of the Notes which would otherwise result in substantial accounting charges to the Company. Pursuant to the Note Amendment, the Holders permanently waived various provisions of the Notes, including the adjustment to the conversion price under a Fundamental Transaction (as defined in the Notes), the anti-dilution protection from the issuance of securities at a price lower than the current exercise price and the adjustment to market price on the first anniversary of the date of issuance of the Notes. As a result of these waivers, the conversion price of the Notes will only adjust in the event of any future stock splits or dividends.

 

Further, the Holders waived certain events of default that had occurred under the Notes as more fully described as follows. Pursuant to the terms of the Notes, an event of default occurs when the Company’s common stock is suspended or threatened with suspension from trading on The NASDAQ Capital Market (or an equivalent market). On October 7, 2013, the Company received a notice from the Staff of the Listing Qualifications Department of The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC (NASDAQ) indicating that the Company’s common stock would be subject to delisting from The NASDAQ Capital Market on October 16, 2013 due to the Company’s non-compliance with the applicable $2.5 million stockholders’ equity requirement, as set forth in Listing Rule 5550(b) (1). As a result of the notice from NASDAQ, an event of default occurred under the Notes, which was waived by the Holders pursuant to the Note Amendment.

 

Prior to the Note Amendment, if an event of default existed under the Notes, the Holders would have been entitled to redeem $3,400,000 in aggregate principal and interest of the Notes for a make-whole amount equal to the greater of 125% of (x) the deemed value of the shares of common stock underlying the Note (the Intrinsic Value) and (y) the outstanding principal and unpaid interest under the Notes (the Base Value). The Note Amendment reduces and fixes the event of default make-whole amount by eliminating the Intrinsic Value calculation and modifying the Base Value calculation and interest rate to more accurately make-whole the holders of the Notes from the loss of interest from an early redemption of the Notes and the decreased value of the Notes without such Intrinsic Value rights. As revised, the event of default redemption amount (“Make-Whole Amount”) equals the sum of the Conversion Amount (as defined in the Notes) to be redeemed, plus a make-whole amount equal to the amount of any interest that, but for any redemption of the Notes on such given date, would have accrued with respect to the Conversion Amount being redeemed under the Notes at the interest rate then in effect for the period from such given date through October 31, 2023, the amended maturity date of the Notes, discounted to the present value of such interest using a discount rate of 2.5% per annum. As a result, the fixed value of the event of default make-whole amount was approximately $10,900,000 at the time of the Note Amendment. As a result of Note conversions during the current fiscal year, the value of the event of default make-whole amount was approximately $2,800,000 as of April 30, 2014. No Holder has exercised its right of redemption as a result of the events of default discussed above. In addition, the interest rate of the Notes was amended to 15% per annum, subject to increase to 25% per annum if an event of default occurs and is continuing.

 

17
 

 

As a result of the significant modifications of the Notes, the Company determined that the Notes were extinguished and new Notes were issued. In connection with this modification, the Company compared the present value of the beneficial conversion features of the Notes to the new Notes. The Company determined that the present value of the new Notes exceeded the present value of the old Notes by more than 10%, which resulted in the application of extinguishment accounting. The modification of the Note resulted in the debt instruments being exchanged with substantially different terms and extinguishment accounting was applied resulting in a loss on extinguishment of debt for the unamortized discount related to the Notes of $1,299,000. In addition, the Company recorded a new beneficial conversion feature and associated debt discount of $3,400,000 related to the proceeds of the new Notes based on the fixed conversion rate of $0.20 and the fair market value of the common stock at the amendment date.

 

Prior to the Note Amendment, $594,000 of Notes was converted into 276,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. In addition, $6,000 of Notes was redeemed for cash at the request of a Holder.

 

During the year ended April 30, 2014, $2,502,000 of Notes was converted into 12,508,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock, resulting in the accelerated write-off of unamortized debt discount of $2,502,000 and included in interest expense. In addition, $19,000 of accrued interest on Notes was converted into 96,000 shares of the Company’s common stock.

 

In connection with the Amendment, the Company reserved an aggregate of 12,867,000 shares of common stock for issuance in connection with the conversion of the Notes, Warrants, and/or Exchange Warrants of the Holders (the Share Reserve Allocation). As of April 30, 2014, the Holders have converted Notes up to the Share Reserve Allocation. Until such time as the Company has increased its number of authorized shares, pursuant to stockholder approval, merger or otherwise, the Company shall not be required to reserve more than the Share Reserve Allocation, and the Holders shall not be entitled to convert and/or exercise, as applicable, the Note, the Warrants, and/or the Exchange Warrants, since they have already converted Notes up to the Share Reserve Allocation.

 

For the three and six months period ended October 31, 2014, the Company recorded $0 and $853,000 amortization of debt discount on the Notes, respectively.

 

Following the Note Amendment, the Notes consisted of the following as of October 31, 2014:

 

   Notes   Debt Discount   Total 
Beginning balance as of April 30, 2014 - Senior secured convertible notes,               
interest at 4% per annum to maturity June 5, 2014  $898,338   $(853,431)  $44,907 
Amortization of debt discount   -    853,431    853,431 
Conversion of Senior secured convertible notes to preferrd stock   (145,362)        (145,362)
   $752,976   $-   $752,976 

 

Conversion of Notes to preferred stock - - 2nd quarter 2015

 

See Note 1 for Hudson Bay Exchange Agreement.

 

Events of Default under the Notes

 

Pursuant to the terms of the Notes, an event of default occurs when our common stock is suspended or threatened with suspension from trading on The NASDAQ Capital Market (or an equivalent market) (“Event of Default”). As a result of the separate notices received by the Company from NASDAQ as described above, as well as the Company’s failure to obtain an increase in authorized common stock by February 28, 2014, Events of Default occurred under the Notes.

 

As a result of each of the Events of Default, the Holders have the right to require the Company to redeem the Notes equal to the Conversion Amount (as defined in the Notes) to be redeemed, plus a make-whole amount equal to the amount of any interest that, but for any redemption of the Notes on such given date, would have accrued with respect to the Conversion Amount being redeemed under the Notes at the interest rate then in effect for the period from such given date through October 31, 2023, the amended maturity date of the Notes, discounted to the present value of such interest using a discount rate of 2.5% per annum. Currently, the principal amount of Notes outstanding is $753,000 and the interest rate on the Notes was increased to 25% per annum effective March 1, 2014.

 

During August 2014, Holders requested that the make-whole amounts be redeemed. As of a result of this request and the Event of Default under the Notes, the Company recorded an addition $1,584,000 liability relating to the present value of the make-whole amount with an offsetting amount to interest expense as of October 31, 2014. If the Holders elects to convert the make-whole amounts and principal payments, the Company will issue 30,314,664 shares of common stock as of October 31, 2014.

 

18
 

 

Registration Rights of the Shares Issuable Upon Conversion of the Notes

 

The Company agreed to file a registration statement with the SEC, within 30 days following receipt of a request from a Holder (or 45 days with respect to an underwritten offering), covering such shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Notes or exercise of the Warrants, as requested by the Holders, and have such registration statement declared effective by the SEC within 90 days thereafter. The Company also agreed to notify the Holders if the Company at any time proposes to register any of its securities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and of such Holders right to participate in such registration. In connection with the conversion described above, no request has been received from a Holder to register such shares.

 

If the Company fails to comply with the registration statement filing, effective date or maintenance date filing requirements, it is required to pay the Buyers a registration delay payment in cash equal to 2% of the Buyer’s original principal amount stated on such Investors’ Note as of the Closing Date on the date of each failure, and on every thirty (30) day anniversary of the respective failures (Registration Delay Payment). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the aggregate amount of Registration Delay Payments exceed 10% of such Investor’s original principal amount stated on the New Notes on the Closing Date. The Company accounts for such Registration Delay Payments as contingent liabilities. Accordingly, the Company recognizes such damages when it becomes probable that they will be incurred and amounts are reasonably estimable. No Holders have submitted a request for a registration statement as of the date of this filing.

 

Holders Security Interests and Guarantees

 

Pursuant to the Guaranty, subsidiaries of the Company guaranteed to the collateral agent, for the benefit of the Holders, the punctual payment, as and when due and payable, of all amounts owed by the Company in respect of the Purchase Agreement, the Notes and the other transaction documents executed in connection with the Purchase Agreement.

 

Pursuant to the Security Agreement, the Company and its subsidiaries granted, in favor of the collateral agent for the Holders, a continuing security interest in all personal property and assets of the Company and its subsidiaries, as collateral security for the obligations of the Company and its subsidiaries under the Purchase Agreement, the Notes, the Guaranty and the other transaction documents.

 

In connection with the BTX purchase agreement, the Company agreed to waive any rights to compel the redemption of the Notes. The Holders agreed to restrict their ability to convert the Notes and/or exercise the Warrants and Exchange Warrants and receive shares of the Company’s common stock such that the number of shares of common stock held by the Holder in the aggregate and its affiliates after such conversion or exercise does not exceed 9.99% of the then issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock.

NOTE 11 - DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

 

Australia Operations

 

On July 30, 2014, the Company entered into the Waiver with the Holder of a majority of the Notes and Warrants. The Notes are secured by a first priority lien on the assets of the Company and subsidiaries pursuant to the Security Agreement by the Company and subsidiaries in favor of the Collateral Agent. As a result of the Waiver, the Collateral Agent released the stock of Pride from collateral pursuant to the Security Agreement.

 

On the Closing Date, the Company completed the sale of Pride to Turquino, whose managing member is Hidalgo, former Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company. The closing of the sale was pursuant to the Agreement.

 

21
 

 

Pursuant to the Agreement, WPCS Australia agreed to sell 100% of the shares of Pride to Turquino for the Purchase Price, which Purchase Price was subject to adjustment based on the NTAV of Pride on the Closing Date. In the event that the NTAV was less than AUD$1.4 million on the Closing Date, WPCS Australia was required to pay Turquino an amount equal to the shortfall between the NTAV as of the Closing Date and AUD$1.4 million. At the closing, the Purchase Price was to be settled by applying the net after tax severance balance due Hidalgo under the Severance Agreement, as payment towards the Purchase Price.

 

Pursuant to the Letter Agreement, the parties agreed that the NTAV of Pride on the Closing Date was $970,000. By the Letter Agreement, Hidalgo agreed to reduce the total severance owed to him under the Severance Agreement by $168,000, which reduced the total severance due Hidalgo to $970,000, the NTAV of Pride on the Closing Date. As a result, the Company was not required to make any further payment to Hidalgo pursuant to the Severance Agreement.

 

The gain on sale of Australia is as follows:

 

Purchase price  $970,010 
Net assets before accumulative other comprehensive income   1,037,833 
Accumulative other comprehensive income   (866,719)

Overview

 

We offer low voltage communication infrastructure in the public services, healthcare, energy and corporate enterprise markets with 142 employees in operation centers in California and China. In addition, we have developed a digital currency trading platform for the trading of digital currencies.

For communications infrastructure, we provide an integrated approach to project coordination that creates cost-effective solutions. Corporations, government entities, healthcare organizations and educational institutions depend on the reliability and accuracy of voice, data and video communications. However, the potential for this new technology cannot be realized without the right infrastructure to support the convergence of technology. In this regard, we create integrated building systems, including the installation of advanced structured cabling systems. We specialize in wireless technology or combination of various technologies to develop a cost effective network for a customer's wireless communication requirements. This includes Wi-Fi networks, point-to-point systems, cellular networks, in-building systems and two-way communication systems. We support the integration of telecommunications, life safety, security and HVAC in an environmentally safe manner and design for future growth by building in additional capacity for expansion as new capabilities are added.

 

For the three and six months ended October 31, 2014, we generated revenues from continuing operations of approximately $7.3 million and $14.1 million, respectively, compared to $4.5 million and $8.8 million, respectively for the three and six months ended October 31, 2013. Our backlog at October 31, 2014 was approximately $13.1 million.

Revenue

 

Revenue for the three months ended October 31, 2014 was approximately $7,279,000, as compared to approximately $4,500,000 for the three months ended October 31, 2013. The increase in revenue was due primarily to an increase in revenue of the contracting services segment, as a result of the significant increase in contracting services project revenue in our Suisun City Operations. There was nominal revenue for the virtual currency trading platform segment. For the three months ended October 31, 2014, there was one customer who comprised 56% of the consolidated total revenue.  For the three months ended October 31, 2013, there were no customers who comprised more than 10% of consolidated total revenue.

Our cost of revenue was approximately $6,023,000, or 82.7% of revenue for the three months ended October 31, 2014, compared to $3,574,000, or 79.4%, for the prior year. The increase in total cost of revenue was due to the increase in revenue as compared to the prior year. The increase as a percentage of revenue is primarily due to the revenue blend of project work completed during the year.

 

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

 

For the three months ended October 31, 2014, total selling, general and administrative expenses were approximately $1,818,000, or 25.0% of total revenue, compared to $1,171,000 or 26.0% for the prior year's period. Included in selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended October 31, 2014 were salaries, commissions, payroll taxes and other employee benefits incurred in the normal course of business of $554,000, which was consistent with the prior year's period. Professional fees were $713,000, which include on-going accounting, legal and investor relations fees. The increase in professional fees of $536,000 related to increases in NASDAQ listing fees and printing cost, and consulting fees related to Sebastian Giordano, our Interim Chief Executive Officer. Insurance costs were $64,000 compared to $204,000 for the prior year's period. Rent for office facilities was $34,000 compared to $72,000 for the prior year's period. Rent decreased due to office closings. Automobile and other travel expenses were $86,000 compared to $91,000 for the prior year's period. For the three months ended October 31, 2014, total selling, general and administrative expenses for the contracting services and Virtual Currency segments were approximately $0 and $278,000, respectively, with the balance of approximately $1,540,000 pertaining to general corporate expenses. For the three months ended October 31, 2013, total selling, general and administrative expenses for the contracting services and Virtual Currency segments were approximately $525,000 and $0, respectively, with the balance of approximately $646,000 pertaining to general corporate expenses.

 

Impairment Loss on Long Term Assets

 

During the quarter ending October 31, 2014, we analyzed our capitalized BTX software costs and determined an impairment charge was required. As a result of our reassessment of the ongoing utility and value of the capitalized BTX software project an impairment charge of $827,000 was recorded.  

 

Depreciation and Amortization

 

For the three months ended October 31, 2014 and 2013, depreciation and amortization was approximately $443,000 and $189,000, respectively. The increase in depreciation and amortization was due to the acquisition of BTX software in 2014. The BTX software was considered capitalized software and we started to record the amortization cost during 2014.

 

Interest Expense

 

For the three months ended October 31, 2014 and 2013, interest expense was approximately $69,000 and $2,379,000, respectively. The decrease in interest expense was related to the conversion of senior secured convertible notes.

 

Inducement Expense

 

During the three months ended October 31, 2014 and October 31, 2013 we recognized an inducement expense of $1,870,000 and $0, respectively. The increase in the inducement expense for the three months ended October 31, 2014 was related to the conversion of senior secured convertible notes of $145,000 and related make-whole amount of $306,000 to Series F preferred stock for $1,590,000 and Series G preferred stock for $732,000. We recorded the difference as inducement expense due to the fair value of the preferred stock being higher than the conversion price. As the fair value of the Series F and Series G convertible preferred stock was based on unobservable inputs we estimated the fair value of the stock based on assumptions that market participants would use in their estimates of fair value. Some of these assumptions included estimates for expected dividends and the fair value of the underlying common stock.

  

Other Income

 

During the three months ended October 31, 2014, we received $350,000 from two bondholders as settlement for Section 16 violations.

Impairment Loss on Long Term Assets

 

During the quarter ending October 31, 2014, we analyzed our capitalized BTX software costs and determined an impairment charge was required. As a result of our reassessment of the ongoing utility and value of the capitalized BTX software project an impairment charge of $827,000 was recorded.  

  

Depreciation and Amortization

 

For the six months ended October 31, 2014 and 2013, depreciation and amortization was approximately $886,000 and $389,000, respectively. The increase in depreciation and amortization was due to the acquisition of BTX software in 2014. The BTX software was considered capitalized software and we started to record the amortization cost during the six months ended October 31, 2014.

 

Interest Expense

 

For the six months ended October 31, 2014 and 2013, interest expense was approximately $2,970,000 and $3,538,000, respectively. The decrease in interest expense was related to the conversion of senior secured convertible notes.

 

Inducement Expense

 

During the six months ended October 31, 2014 and October 31, 2013 we recognized an inducement expense of $1,870,000 and $0, respectively. The increase in the inducement expense for the three months ended October 31, 2014 was related to the conversion of senior secured convertible notes of $145,000 and related make-whole amount of $306,000 to Series F preferred stock for $1,590,000 and Series G preferred stock for $732,000. We recorded the difference as inducement expense due to the fair value of the preferred stock being higher than the conversion price. As the fair value of the Series F and Series G convertible preferred stock was based on unobservable inputs, we estimated the fair value of stock based on assumptions that market participants would use in their estimates of fair value. Some of these assumptions included estimates for expected dividends and the fair value of the underlying common stock.

 

Change in Fair Value of Derivative Liabilities

 

We determine the fair value of the embedded conversion features of the Notes and the Warrants and record each of them as a discount to the Notes and each as a derivative liability. Accordingly, changes in the fair value of the derivatives are recognized and classified as an unrealized noncash gain or loss on the derivative financial instruments. For the six months ended October 31, 2013, the increase in the fair value of the embedded conversion features of the Notes and Warrants was approximately $834,000 due primarily to the increase in the market price of our common stock since April 30, 2013.

Other Income

Income (Loss) From Discontinued Operations

 

As a result of the execution of the Pride Purchase Agreement, we have recorded the Company’s Australia Operations financial results as discontinued operations. As a result of the execution of the Seattle Purchase Agreement, we have recorded the Company’s Seattle Operations financial results as discontinued operations. For the six months ended October 31, 2014, we recorded an income from discontinued operations of approximately $601,000.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

At October 31, 2014, we had a working capital deficiency of approximately $2,425,000, which consisted of current assets of approximately $14,363,000 and current liabilities of $16,788,000. This compares to a working capital of approximately $1,111,000 at April 30, 2014. The current liabilities as presented in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet at October 31, 2014 include approximately $217,000 of severance liability related to the separation agreement with our former chief financial officer, accrued interest on senior secured convertible notes of $1,584,000 and the $1,533,000 loss amounts due under the Zurich American Insurance Company (Zurich).

 

Our cash and cash equivalents balance at October 31, 2014 was $2,244,000. Our working capital needs are influenced by our level of operations, and generally increase with higher levels of revenue. Our sources of cash in the last several years have come from credit facility borrowings and sales of debt and equity securities. Our future operating results may be affected by a number of factors including our success in bidding on future contracts, and our continued ability to manage our controllable operating costs effectively. Our capital requirements depend on numerous factors, including the market for our services, additional software development costs for the launch of BTX, and the resources we devote to developing, marketing, selling and supporting our business, and the timing and extent of establishing additional markets and other factors.

 

Operating activities provided approximately $481,000 in cash for the six months ended October 31, 2014. The net cash provided by operating activities was comprised of approximately $5,528,000 of net noncash charges, a $4,111,000 decrease in net assets held for sale, a $2,273,000 increase in accounts receivable, a $1,752,000 decrease in liabilities held for sale, a $1,358,000 increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses, a $1,303,000 decrease in accrued severance expense for the separation agreement with our former chief executive officer, a $678,000 increase in billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts, a $79,000 decrease in costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts, and a $46,000 decrease in prepaid and other assets.

 

Our investing activities used cash of approximately $142,000 during the six months ended October 31, 2014, approximately $140,000 of which was used to acquire property and equipment.

 

Our financing activities used cash of approximately $145,000 during the six months ended October 31, 2014, including approximately $147,000 of dividends paid on Series E Preferred Stock, offset by approximately $2,000 of net borrowings under loan payable.

 

Going Concern

 

Our continuation as a going concern beyond the next twelve months and our ability to discharge our liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business is ultimately dependent upon the execution of our future plans, which include the following: (1) our ability to generate future operating income, reduce operating expenses and produce cash from our operating activities, which will be affected by general economic, competitive, and other factors, many of which are beyond our control; (2) the repayment of, or the modification of the terms under a forbearance agreement with Zurich; (3) the forbearance or waiver of the Events of Default under the Notes; (4) the settlement of the claim with the Camden County Improvement Authority for work at the Cooper Medical Center of Rowan University; and (5) obtaining additional funds through financing or the sale of assets. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. There can be no assurance that our plans to ensure continuation as a going concern will be successful.

Backlog

 

As of October 31, 2014, we had a backlog of unfilled orders of approximately $13.1 million compared to approximately $19.4 million at April 30, 2014. We define backlog as the value of work-in-hand to be provided for customers as of a specific date where the following conditions are met (with the exception of engineering change orders): (i) the price of the work to be done is fixed; (ii) the scope of the work to be done is fixed, both in definition and amount; and (iii) there is a written contract, purchase order, agreement or other documentary evidence which represents a firm commitment by the customer to pay us for the work to be performed. These backlog amounts are based on contract values and purchase orders and may not result in actual receipt of revenue in the originally anticipated period or at all. We have experienced variances in the realization of our backlog because of project delays or cancellations resulting from external market factors and economic factors beyond our control and we may experience such delays or cancellations in the future. Backlog does not include new firm commitments that may be awarded to us by our customers from time to time in future periods. These new project awards could be started and completed in this same future period. Accordingly, our backlog does not necessarily represent the total revenue that could be earned by us in future periods.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

The Company has no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future material effect on the Company’s financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.

  

Critical Accounting Policies

 

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based on our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect our reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses.

 

On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates and judgments, including those related to accrued expenses and stock-based compensation. We based our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

 

Our critical accounting policies and significant estimates are detailed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended April 30, 2014. Our critical accounting policies and significant estimates have not changed substantially from those previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended April 30, 2014.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In April 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2014-08 “Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity.” ASU No. 2014-08 changes the criteria for reporting discontinued operations and modifies related disclosure requirements. The new guidance is effective on a prospective basis for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2014, and interim periods within annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2015. The Company is currently assessing the future impact of ASU No. 2014-08 on its financial statements.

 

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers,” which provides guidance for revenue recognition. The standard’s core principle is that a company will recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The new guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period. Early application is not permitted. The Company is currently assessing the potential impact of ASU No. 2014-09 on its financial statements.

 

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15, Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern (“ASU No. 2014-15”) that will require management to evaluate whether there are conditions and events that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the financial statements are issued on both an interim and annual basis. Management will be required to provide certain footnote disclosures if it concludes that substantial doubt exists or when its plans alleviate substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. ASU No. 2014-15 becomes effective for annual periods beginning in 2016 and for interim reporting periods starting in the first quarter of 2017. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this ASU on its financial statements.

ITEM 3 - QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

 

Not applicable.

 

ITEM 4 - CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

(a) Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures.

 

Our management, with the participation of our interim chief executive officer and chief financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.

 

Based on our evaluation, our interim chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that, as of October 31, 2014, our disclosure controls and procedures are designed at a reasonable assurance level and are effective to provide reasonable assurance that information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

(b) Changes in internal control over financial reporting.

 

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended October 31, 2014 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
