NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND LIQUIDITY
Basis of Presentation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of WPCS International Incorporated, a Delaware corporation (“WPCS”) and its wholly and majority-owned subsidiaries, (collectively, the “Company”). The Company’s subsidiaries based in the United States (“US”) include, or have included: WPCS International - Suisun City, Inc. (the “Suisun City Operations”), WPCS International - Lakewood, Inc. (the “Lakewood Operations”), WPCS International - Hartford, Inc. (the “Hartford Operations”), WPCS International - Trenton, Inc. (the “Trenton Operations”), WPCS International - Seattle, Inc. (the “Seattle Operations”), WPCS International - Portland, Inc. (the “Portland Operations”) and BTX Trader, LLC (“BTX”). International operations include WPCS Asia Limited, a 60% joint venture interest in Tai'an AGS Pipeline Construction Co. Ltd. (the “China Operations”), and WPCS Australia Pty Ltd, WPCS International – Brendale Pty Ltd., and The Pride Group (QLD) Pty Ltd., (collectively, the “Australia Operations”).
With the recent divestitures of The Pride Group (QLD) Pty Ltd. (“Pride”), BTX, substantially all of the assets of the Seattle Operations, and the sale of the China Operations (subsequent to July 31, 2015), the Suisun City Operations is the Company’s only remaining continuing operation as of July 31, 2015. As such, the Company intends to dissolve the remaining inactive domestic and international subsidiaries listed above, as soon as it is administratively feasible to do so.
Certain reclassifications associated with the discontinued operations of Pride, BTX, and the Seattle Operations have been made to the prior years’ financial information in order to conform to the current year’s presentation. The reclassifications had no impact on previously reported net loss or stockholders’ equity. In addition, as of July 31, 2015, the Company has entered into an Interest Purchase Agreement to sell all of its ownership in its China Operations and therefore has classified all activity related to its China Operations as discontinued operations in these financial statements. (Subsequent to July 31, 2015, the Company completed the sale of the China Operations).
The Company specializes in contracting services, with 56 (14 full-time and 42 part-time union) employees in one operation center and currently offers communications infrastructure services through the Suisun City Operations.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of July 31, 2015, the Company had working capital of approximately $2,208,000, which consisted of current assets of approximately $16,247,000 and current liabilities of approximately $14,039,000. This compares to a working capital deficiency of approximately $1,246,000 at April 30, 2015. The current liabilities as presented in the balance sheet at July 31, 2015 primarily include approximately $7,935,000 of liabilities held for sale (primarily associated with our China Operations), $4,132,000 of accounts payable and accrued expenses, $229,000 of dividends payable and approximately $1,472,000 of billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts.
Our cash and cash equivalents balance at July 31, 2015 was approximately $5,540,000.
During the quarter ended July 31, 2015, the Company completed a series of transactions that it believes will provide it with sufficient working capital and equity to operate the next twelve months from the date of filing this report, while it continues its plan to seek growth opportunities, including, but not limited: (i) organic growth to complement and enhance existing operations; (ii) acquisitions; and/or (iii) a viable merger candidate.
The transactions included the: (i) elimination of $1,703,000 of promissory notes which were due and payable on September 30, 2015; (ii) issuance of common stock to satisfy approximately $660,000 of the $677,000 of preferred stock dividends payable at April 30, 2015; (iii) completion of a $1,575,000 equity financing; and (iv) closing of a $1,000,000 line of credit for our Suisun Operations.
These events have provided cash to the Company and eliminated future cash requirements. Along with expected continued operating profits from its Suisun Operations for fiscal year 2016 and lower corporate overhead, these are the primary factors that support the belief that the Company will have adequate liquidity for the next twelve months.

Use of Estimates
In preparing financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the US, 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 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.
Substantially all of the $5,070,000 of accounts receivable is associated with the Suisun City Operations. There were two customers of the Suisun City Operations who comprised 29% and 19% of the Company’s total accounts receivable. Also included in the accounts receivable is retainage receivable of $1,193,000 and $1,119,000 at July 31, 2015 and April 30, 2015, respectively, and both the retainer and aged accounts receivable are expected to be collected.
Revenue Recognition
Domestically, 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. For the three months ended July 31, 2015, 15% and 21% of our Suisun City Operations revenue was derived from two customers as compared to one customer who generated 51% of the revenue for the same period in 2014.
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, Series F-1, Series G and Series G-1 Preferred Stock
The fair value of the preferred stock is based on unobservable inputs. Such unobservable inputs include use of the Company’s own data or assumptions such as earnings and discounted cash flow. The Company estimates of the fair value of the preferred stock is based on 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. Using the Black Sholes pricing model and input for risk free interest rate of .97%, volatility of 180.2%, dividends of $0 and a three-year term the fair value of the preferred series F and F-1 shares were determined to be $301.81 per share and the preferred series G and G-1 were determined to be $350.43 per share.
Beneficial conversion feature of Series H-1 Preferred Stock
The issuance of the convertible series H-1 preferred stock generated a beneficial conversion feature (“BCF”), which arises when a debt or equity security is issued with an embedded conversion option that is beneficial to the investor or in the money at inception because the conversion option has an effective strike price that is less than the market price of the underlying stock at the commitment date. The Company recognized the BCF by allocating the intrinsic value of the conversion option, which is the number of shares of common stock available upon conversion multiplied by the difference between the effective conversion price per share and the fair value of common stock per share on the commitment date, to additional paid-in capital, resulting in a discount on the convertible preferred stock. As the convertible preferred stock may be converted immediately, we have recognized the BCF as a deemed dividend in the statement of operations.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
Fiscal 2017 Accounting Pronouncement Adoptions
Disclosures of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern
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 us in the first quarter of fiscal 2017. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2014-15 on its financial statements.
Share-Based Payments with Performance Targets
In June 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-12, Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could Be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period (ASU 2014-12). ASU 2014-12 requires that, a performance target that affect vesting and could be achieved after the requisite service period, be treated as a performance condition. A reporting entity should apply existing guidance in ASC 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation, as it relates to such awards. ASU 2014-12 is effective for use in our first quarter of fiscal 2017 with early adoption permitted using either of two methods: (i) prospective to all awards granted or modified after the effective date; or (ii) retrospective to all awards with performance targets that are outstanding as of the beginning of the earliest annual period presented in the financial statements and to all new or modified awards thereafter, with the cumulative effect of applying ASU 2014-12 as an adjustment to the opening retained earnings balance as of the beginning of the earliest annual period presented in the financial statements. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of our pending adoption on ASU 2014-12 on its consolidated financial statements.

Fiscal 2018 Accounting Pronouncement Adoptions
Revenue Recognition
In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Topic 606 (ASU 2014-09), to supersede nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance under U.S. GAAP. The core principle of ASU 2014-09 is to recognize revenue when promised goods or services are transferred to customers, and in an amount that reflects the consideration that is expected to be received for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 defines a five step process to achieve this core principle and, in doing so, it is possible more judgment and estimates may be required within the revenue recognition process than required under existing U.S. GAAP including identifying performance obligations in the contract, estimating the amount of variable consideration to include in the transaction price and allocating the transaction price to each separate performance obligation. ASU 2014-09 is effective for us in our first quarter of fiscal 2018 using either of two methods: (i) retrospective to each prior reporting period presented with the option to elect certain practical expedients as defined within ASU 2014-09; or (ii) retrospective with the cumulative effect of initially applying ASU 2014-09 recognized at the date of initial application and providing certain additional disclosures as defined per ASU 2014-09. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of our pending adoption of ASU 2014-09 on its consolidated financial statements.
Significant Accounting Policies
There have been no material changes in the Company’s significant accounting policies to those previously disclosed in the Form 10-K for the year ended April 30, 2015.
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 the exercise of stock options and warrants and note conversions.
The table below presents the computations of loss per share from continuing operations applicable to common stockholders, after consideration of noncontrolling interest and dividends declared on preferred stock, as follows:
For the three months ended | ||||||||

NOTE 4 - 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 July 31, 2015 and April 30, 2015:
July 31, 2015 | April 30, 2015 | |||||||
Costs incurred on uncompleted contracts | $ | 32,181,891 | $ | 32,008,307 | ||||

Total | $ | (948,058 | ) | $ | (926,027 | ) |
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.

NOTE 5 - DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
The Company previously disclosed the details regarding the sales of Pride, BTX, and substantially all the assets of its Seattle operations in its Form 10-K filed for the year ended April 30, 2015.
China Operations
On June 3, 2015, the Company entered into an Interest Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Halcyon Coast Investment (Canada) Ltd. (“HCI”) to sell its 60% joint venture and profit interest in Tai’an AGS Pipeline Construction Co. Ltd., a contractual joint venture established in accordance with the laws of the People’s Republic of China (“TAGS”) in an all-cash transaction, for a price of $1,500,000 (the “Transaction”). The transfer shall be effected pursuant to a Joint Venture Interest Transfer Agreement, which the Company and HCI executed simultaneously with the Purchase Agreement (the “Transfer Agreement”). HCI paid a deposit of $150,000 to the Company upon the signing of the Purchase Agreement and the balance of the purchase price was paid at the August 14, 2015 closing of the Transaction (see Note 8 - Subsequent Events).
The Company records the revenue and profit from short-term contracts from its China Operations under the completed contract method, whereas income is recognized only when a contract is completed or substantially completed. Accordingly, during the period of performance, billings and deferred contract costs are accumulated on the consolidated balance sheets as deferred contract costs and deferred revenue. The Company’s accounting policy is based on the short-term nature of the work performed. Deferred contract costs include equipment lease deposits to the third party vendors of approximately $656,000 and $969,000 as July 31, 2015 and April 30, 2015, respectively. The revenue results from the China Operations are included in discontinued operations for the quarters ended July 31, 2015 and 2014.
Since the Transaction closed on August 14, 2015, the Company has determined that the activity of the China Operations should be classified as discontinued operations for the quarters ended July 31, 2015 and 2014. In addition, during the year ended April 30, 2015, the Company had completed the sales of Pride, BTX, and substantially all of the assets of the Seattle Operations. As a result, the Company has reported the financial activity of Pride, BTX and Seattle as discontinued operations for the quarter ended July 31, 2014. The following is a summary of the operating results for the discontinued operations as follows:

Short-Term Bank Loan
As of July 31, 2015 and April 30, 2015, the China Operations had a short-term bank loan of $3,221,000 and $3,224,000, respectively, with the Bank of China (the “Short-Term Bank Loan”) with an interest rate of 7.38% due quarterly. The original August 1, 2014 maturity date of the Short-Term Bank Loan was extended to July 31, 2015. Such Short-Term Bank Loan is secured by the assets of TGG only, and not guaranteed by WPCS. This loan is classified as short-term liabilities held for sale in the Company’s financial statements. Subsequent to July 31, 2015 this loan was repaid with funds received from a related party (see below).
15 |
Due Related Party
As of July 31, 2015 and April 30, 2015, the China Operations had outstanding payables, representing interest accrued on working capital loans and cash provided for the purpose of retiring the short term bank loan in the amounts of $3,292,000 and $786,000, respectively, due on demand to a related party, TGG. This loan is not guaranteed by WPCS. Interest expense for the quarters ended July 31, 2015 and 2014 was immaterial. This payable is classified as short-term liabilities held for sale in the Company’s financial statements.
The China Operations earned revenue for contracting services provided to TGG (noncontrolling interest in China Operations) and subsidiaries of $212,000 and $706,000 for the quarters ended July 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The China Operations accounts receivable due from TGG and subsidiaries was $0 and $0 as of July 31, 2015 and April 30, 2015, respectively.
Noncontrolling Interest
The Company presents the 40% noncontrolling interest associated with the China Operations as a component of equity, along with any changes in the Company’s ownership interest, and will continue as such, for as long as the Company retains its controlling interest. Upon a loss of control, retained ownership interest will be re-measured at fair value, with any gain or loss recognized in earnings. Income and losses attributable to the noncontrolling interests associated with the China Operations are presented separately in the Company’s financial statements.
Noncontrolling interest for the three months ended July 31, 2015 consists of the following:
July 31, 2015 | ||||
Balance at April 30, 2015 | $ | 560,915 | ||
Net income attributable to noncontrolling interest | 16,505 | |||
Other comprehensive loss attributable to noncontrolling interest | (431 | ) | ||
Balance at July 31, 2015 | $ | 576,989 |
NOTE 6 - STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY
Common Shares
During the quarter ended July 31, 2015, the Company issued 1,217,989 shares of Common Stock, in transactions that were not registered under the Securities Act of 1933. The shares of Common Stock were issued upon the conversion of Series F, F-1, G, G-1 and H preferred stock in reliance upon the exemption from registration in Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act of 1933.
Preferred Shares
Series H Preferred Stock
On June 30, 2015, the Company entered into Amendment, Waiver and Exchange Agreements (the “Exchange Agreements”) with certain of its promissory note holders, who held $1,299,000 in principal amount of unsecured promissory notes of the Company. Pursuant to the terms of the Exchange Agreements, the Holders agreed to exchange all of the existing indebtedness for, and the Company agreed to issue to the Holders, an aggregate of 8,435 shares of the Company’s newly designated Series H Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Series H Preferred Stock”). The 8,435 shares of Series H Preferred Stock are each convertible into 100 shares of common stock at $1.54 each (the market value of the stock on date of issuance) and therefore no gain or loss was recorded on the extinguishment of debt. The Company is prohibited from effecting the conversion of the Series H Preferred Stock to the extent that, as a result of such conversion, the holder beneficially owns more than 9.99%, in the aggregate, of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s Common Stock calculated immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon the conversion of the Series H Preferred Stock.
16 |
Series H-1 Preferred Stock
Between July 14 and July 20, 2015, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”) with four Investors pursuant to which the Company issued to the Investors an aggregate of 8,532 shares of Series H-1 Preferred Convertible Stock of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share (“Series H-1 Shares”), and warrants to purchase 1,279,759 shares of common stock of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share (“Common Stock”), with an exercise price of between $1.63 and $1.66 per share (the “Warrants”). The purchase price for each Series H-1 Share was between $163 and $166 and the purchase price for each warrant was $0.1250 per share of Common Stock, for an aggregate purchase price for the Series H-1 Shares and Warrants of $1,575,000.
The Company has determined that the Warrants qualify for accounting as equity instruments rather than as liabilities. On the issuance date, the Company estimated the fair value of the Warrants at $1,649,000 under the Black-Scholes option pricing model using the following primary assumptions: contractual term of 5.0 years, volatility rate of 103%, risk-free interest rate of 1.7% and expected dividend rate of 0%. Based on the Warrant’s relative fair value to the fair value of the Series H-1 Preferred Convertible Stock, approximately $841,000 of the $1,575,000 of proceeds was allocated to the Warrants, creating a corresponding preferred stock discount in the same amount.
The Company determined there to be a beneficial conversion feature (“BCF”) requiring recognition at its intrinsic value. Since the conversion option of the preferred stock was immediately exercisable, the amount allocated to the BCF was immediately accreted to preferred dividends, resulting in an increase in the carrying value of the preferred stock. On July 14 and July 20, 2015, the Company recorded total deemed dividend of $704,000 related to the beneficial conversion feature with the issuance of the Series H-1 Preferred Convertible Stock.
Each share of Series H-1 Preferred Stock has a stated value of $166 and is convertible into shares of Common Stock, equal to the stated value divided by the conversion price of $1.66 per share (subject to adjustment in the event of stock splits and dividends). The Company is prohibited from effecting the conversion of the Series H-1 Preferred Stock to the extent that, as a result of such conversion, the holder or any of its affiliates beneficially owns more than 9.99%, in the aggregate, of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s Common Stock calculated immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon the conversion of the Series H-1 Preferred Stock.

In addition, one note holder was paid $4,000 for full and complete settlement of his note balance.
In addition, on June 30, 2015, the Company and the shareholder plaintiff entered into a settlement (the “Settlement”) with the two remaining defendants (the “Defendants”) in a case pending in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York to resolve claims under Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Under the terms of the Settlement, the Defendants agreed to the following: (i) payment of $315,0000 for the plaintiff’s attorney’s fees; (ii) forgiveness of $400,000 of principal amount of debt owed by the Company to the Defendants; (iii) an exchange of the remaining $405,000 of debt owed by the Company to the Defendants into shares of Series H Convertible Preferred Stock of the Company; (iv) waiver of certain conditions preventing the Company from paying accrued dividends on its Series F-1 Convertible Preferred Stock and Series G-1 Convertible Preferred Stock in shares of the Company’s common stock; and (v) relinquishment of all voting rights the Defendants have in all shares of the Company’s preferred stock now held or hereinafter acquired.

Overview
The Company currently specializes in contracting services offering communications infrastructure through its Suisun City Operations. Subsequent to April 30, 2015, we announced that we had entered into an interest transfer agreement whereby we intend to sell our interest in our China Operations, and subsequent to July 31, 2015, we closed on that transaction, and therefore the financial results of our China Operations for the quarters ended July 31, 2015 and 2014, are now included in the results from discontinued operations in our financial statements.
Our Suisun City Operations communication infrastructure services offers low voltage communications infrastructure contracting services to the public services, healthcare, energy and corporate enterprise markets. 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 and a 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 and design for future growth by building in additional capacity for expansion as new capabilities are added.
For the quarters ended July 31, 2015, and 2014, we generated revenues from continuing operations of $4,464,000 and $6,064,000, respectively. Our backlog at July 31, 2015 was $14,355,000.
Company Strategy
During the past two fiscal years, our strategy in the contracting services segment included divesting certain operations through the sale of Pride and the Seattle Operations and closing the Trenton Operations. More recently, the Company has completed the sale of its China Operations. In addition, the Company sold BTX, which was focused on opportunities within the digital currency market. With the sale of BTX, the Company no longer conducts business in the virtual currency segment.
We have divested and/or closed those operations that have not been profitable, as part of our plan to reduce expenses, and liabilities, improve operational performance as well as to generate cash for working capital and general corporate purposes.
Meanwhile, our ongoing plan continues to be to strengthen the Company’s balance sheet as well as to increase revenue, profit and cash flow at our Suisun City Operations, while seeking new growth opportunities for the Company. Longer-term, the Company intends to seek viable acquisition and/or merger candidate(s).
Current Operating Trends and Financial Highlights
Management currently considers the following events, trends and uncertainties to be important in understanding our results of operations and financial condition during the current fiscal year.
19 |
With regards to our financial results from continuing operations for the quarter ended July 31, 2015, we generated revenue of approximately $4,464,000 as compared to revenue of $6,064,000 for the same period last year. This $1,600,000 decrease in revenue was due primarily to a $2,400,000 decrease in revenue in our Suisun Operations related to work on one major contract with San Francisco General Hospital, offset by approximately $800,000 in additional revenue generated from new contracts.
We generated a net loss to common shareholders for the quarter ended July 31, 2015 of approximately $4,182,000, or $2.84 per common share, which includes approximately $4,291,000 of non-cash dividends declared on preferred stock. We generated income from continuing operations of approximately $84,000. The net loss includes income from discontinued operations for the Australia, Seattle, BTX and China Operations of approximately $41,000, or $0.02 per common share.
The net loss to common shareholders for the quarter ended July 31, 2015 compares to a net loss of approximately $2,312,000, or $3.66 per common share for the quarter ended July 31, 2014, which includes a loss from discontinued operations for the Australia, Lakewood, Hartford, Seattle and China Operations of approximately $438,000, or $0.62 per common share. In our continuing operations for the quarter ended July 31, 2014, we incurred a net loss of approximately $2,648,000, or $4.30 per common share. This net loss from continuing operations, of approximately $2,648,000, includes approximately $2,800,000 of non-cash charges.
The markets we serve in public services, healthcare, and energy continue to afford opportunities to grow our business. Two of our most important economic indicators for measuring our future revenue producing capability and demand for our services continue to be our backlog and bid list. For comparative purposes our backlog and bid list for prior periods only includes our continuing operations. Our backlog of unfilled orders was approximately $14,355,000 at July 31, 2015, compared to backlog of $19,800,000 for the same period last year.
Our bid list, which represents project bids under proposal for new and existing customers, was approximately $11,200,000 at July 31, 2015, compared to approximately $26,400,000 at July 31, 2014. Our goal is to convert more of these bids into contract awards and to increase our backlog in the quarters ahead.
We believe that our low voltage communication infrastructure contracting services for public services, healthcare, energy and corporate enterprise markets will create additional opportunities. We believe that the ability to provide comprehensive communications infrastructure contracting services gives us a competitive advantage. In regards to strategic development, our focus is on organic growth opportunities and we feel optimistic about the markets we serve as evidenced by our new contract awards and customers continuing to seek bids from us, due to our experience in these markets.
While we continue to consider and develop organic growth opportunities, we have completed numerous transactions to improve our balance sheet. These transactions included the: (i) elimination of $1,703,000 of promissory notes which were due and payable on September 30, 2015; (ii) issuance of common stock to satisfy approximately $660,000 of the $677,000 of preferred stock dividends payable at April 30, 2015; (iii) completion of a $1,575,000 equity financing; and (iv) closing of a $1,000,000 line of credit for our Suisun Operations.
In addition, we have divested certain operations through the sale of the Pride Operations, the sale of the assets of the Seattle Operations and the closure of unprofitable Trenton Operations. In August 2015, we completed the sale of our China Operations for $1,500,000.

Income from Continuing Operations
The Company had an operating income of approximately $84,000 for the three months ended July 31, 2015 as compared to an operating loss of approximately $2,648,000 for the same period in 2014. This quarter’s operating income was comprised primarily of: (i) $542,000 operating income from Suisun City Operations and (ii) $400,000 income from a section 16 non-cash settlement, which were partially offset by corporate expenses of $858,000. The details of the operating income are as follows:
Revenue
Revenue for the three months ended July 31, 2015 decreased $1,600,000, or 26%, to $4,464,000, as compared to $6,064,000 for same period last year due to a $1,600,000 decrease in revenue in Suisun City Operations. This decrease was compromised of $2,400,000 related to one customer contract that was completed offset by new contracts of $800,000.
Cost of Revenue
Cost of revenue, which consists of direct costs on contracts: materials, direct labor, third party subcontractor services, union benefits and other overhead costs decreased $1,333,000, or 28%, to $3,447,000, or 77% of revenue, for the three months ended July 31, 2015, as compared to $4,780,000, or 79% of revenue, for the same period in 2014. Such decrease in the cost of revenue was due primarily to lower subcontracting costs in connection with certain lower revenue, but higher margin jobs in the Suisun City Operations.
21 |
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
For the three months ended July 31, 2015, total selling, general and administrative expenses increased $268,000 or 26% to $1,313,000 as compared to $1,045,000 for the same period in 2014 and which was primarily due to lower: (i) payroll and payroll related costs as a result of reductions in staff; (ii) leasing cost related the closure of the Company’s former corporate office and Trenton facility; and (iii) franchise tax refund, all of which were partially offset by higher: (i) stock compensation cost for stock options issued to certain members of management and the board of directors and (ii) professional fees for accounting, consulting and investor relations services, as well as legal fees as a result of substantial transactional activities related to divestitures, multiple proxy filings, NASDAQ issues and other legal matters.
Depreciation and Amortization
For the three months ended July 31, 2015, depreciation and amortization was approximately $15,000 as compared to approximately $16,000 for the same quarter in 2014.
Income from Continuing Operations
The Company had a net income from continuing operations of $84,000 for the three months ended July 31, 2015 as compared to a net loss of $2,648,000 for the same period in 2014. Income from continuing operations is determined by adjusting the operating loss by the following items:
Interest Expense
For the three months ended July 31, 2015 and 2014, interest expense was approximately $1,000 and $2,835,000, respectively. The significant reduction in interest expense in 2015 as compared to the same period in 2014 is attributable to the exchange of senior secured convertible notes that was completed in November 2014.
Income from Section 16 Settlement
During the quarter ended July 31, 2015, the Company recorded income of $400,000 as it received $400,000 in forgiveness of certain promissory notes as part of the settlement with certain note holders who were defendants named in a Section 16 litigation brought by a shareholder of WPCS.
Net Loss Attributable to WPCS Common Shareholders
The Company incurred a net loss attributable to WPCS common shareholders of $4,182,000 for the three months ended July 31, 2015 as compared to net loss attributable to WPCS common shareholders of $2,312,000 for the same period in 2014. The following items are the adjustments to the loss from continuing operations that result in determining the net loss attributable to WPCS common shareholders.
Income (Loss) From Discontinued Operations
As a result of the disposition of Pride, BTX, China Seattle Operations, we have recorded all activity related to those subsidiaries as income (loss) from discontinued operations (see Note 5 – Discontinued Operations). The cumulative effect is income of $41,000 for the three months ended July 31, 2015 as compared to a loss of $439,000 for the same period in 2014.
Net income attributable to noncontrolling interest
The Company’s net income attributable to noncontrolling interest related to its China Operations for the three months ended July 31, 2015 was $16,000 as compared to a net loss of $49,000 for the same period last year.
Dividends declared on preferred stock
As a result of the issuance of preferred stock, we declared dividends, make whole dividends, and deemed dividends of $4,291,000 for the three month ended July 31, 2015 as compared to $74,000 for the same period in 2014. These dividends are non-cash and were paid in common shares.
22 |
Liquidity and Capital Resources as of July 31, 2015
As of July 31, 2015, the Company had working capital of approximately $2,208,000, which consisted of current assets of approximately $16,247,000 and current liabilities of approximately $14,039,000. This compares to a working capital deficiency of approximately $1,246,000 at April 30, 2015. The current liabilities as presented in the balance sheet at July 31, 2015 primarily include approximately $7,935,000 of liabilities held for sale (primarily associated with our China Operations), $4,132,000 of accounts payable and accrued expenses, $229,000 of dividends payable and approximately $1,472,000 of billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts.
Our cash and cash equivalents balance at July 31, 2015 was approximately $5,540,000.
During the quarter ended July 31, 2015 the Company completed a series of transactions that it believes will provide it with sufficient working capital and equity to operate the next twelve months from the date of filing this report, while it continues its plan to seek growth opportunities, including, but not limited, (i) organic growth to complement and enhance existing operations; (ii) acquisitions; and/or (iii) a viable merger candidate.
The transactions included the: (i) elimination of $1,703,000 of promissory notes which were due and payable on September 30, 2015; (ii) issuance of common stock to satisfy approximately $660,000 of the $677,000 of preferred stock dividends payable at April 30, 2015; (iii) completion of a $1,575,000 equity financing; and (iv) closing of a $1,000,000 line of credit for our Suisun Operations.
These events have provided cash to the Company and eliminated future cash requirements. Along with expected continued operating profits from its Suisun Operations for fiscal year 2016 and lower corporate overhead, these are the primary factors that support the belief that the Company will have adequate liquidity for the next twelve months.
Backlog
As of July 31, 2015, we had a backlog of unfilled orders of approximately $14,355,000 as compared to approximately $14,140,000 at April 30, 2015. 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
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements other than operating lease commitments.
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 the Form 10-K for the year ended April 30, 2015. Our critical accounting policies and significant estimates have not changed substantially from those previously disclosed in the Form 10-K.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
Fiscal 2017 Accounting Pronouncement Adoptions
Disclosures of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern
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 us in the first quarter of fiscal 2017. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2014-15 on its financial statements.
Share-Based Payments with Performance Targets
In June 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-12, Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could Be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period (ASU 2014-12). ASU 2014-12 requires that a performance target that affect vesting and could be achieved after the requisite service period be treated as a performance condition. A reporting entity should apply existing guidance in ASC 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation, as it relates to such awards. ASU 2014-12 is effective for use in our first quarter of fiscal 2017 with early adoption permitted using either of two methods: (i) prospective to all awards granted or modified after the effective date; or (ii) retrospective to all awards with performance targets that are outstanding as of the beginning of the earliest annual period presented in the financial statements and to all new or modified awards thereafter, with the cumulative effect of applying ASU 2014-12 as an adjustment to the opening retained earnings balance as of the beginning of the earliest annual period presented in the financial statements. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of our pending adoption on ASU 2014-12 on its consolidated financial statements.
Fiscal 2018 Accounting Pronouncement Adoptions
Revenue Recognition
In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Topic 606 (ASU 2014-09), to supersede nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance under U.S. GAAP. The core principle of ASU 2014-09 is to recognize revenues, when promised goods or services are transferred to customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration that is expected to be received for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 defines a five step process to achieve this core principle and, in doing so, it is possible more judgment and estimates may be required within the revenue recognition process than required under existing U.S. GAAP including identifying performance obligations in the contract, estimating the amount of variable consideration to include in the transaction price and allocating the transaction price to each separate performance obligation. ASU 2014-09 is effective for us in our first quarter of fiscal 2018 using either of two methods: (i) retrospective to each prior reporting period presented with the option to elect certain practical expedients as defined within ASU 2014-09; or (ii) retrospective with the cumulative effect of initially applying ASU 2014-09 recognized at the date of initial application and providing certain additional disclosures as defined per ASU 2014-09. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of our pending adoption of ASU 2014-09 on its consolidated financial statements.

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 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 July 31, 2015, 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 interim 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 July 31, 2015 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
On June 30, 2015, the Company entered into a settlement agreement (the “Section 16 Settlement”) with the remaining two defendants in a civil lawsuit instituted in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York on July 14, 2014, by Eric Greenberg, a stockholder of the Company, alleging violations under Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act (the “Section 16 Litigation”). The Section 16 Litigation was previously disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended April 30, 2014 and filed with the SEC on July 30, 2014. Pursuant to the Section 16 Settlement, the Company received from the remaining two defendants: (1) payment of $315,000 for the plaintiff’s attorney’s fees; (2) forgiveness of $400,000 of principal amount of debt owed by the Company to the defendants; (3) an exchange of the remaining $405,000 of debt owed by the Company to the defendants into shares of Series H Convertible Preferred Stock of the Company; and (4) waiver of certain conditions preventing the Company from paying accrued dividends on its Series F-1 and Series G-1 Convertible Preferred Stock in shares of the Company’s common stock; and (5) relinquishment of all voting rights the defendants had and may have in all shares of the Company’s preferred stock then held or thereafter acquired.
