NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

NOTE 1 – DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

Description of the Business

 

The Company currently specializes in low voltage communications, audio-visual and security contracting services, conducting business in one segment but three operation centers, through its wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries, WPCS International - Suisun City, Inc. (“Suisun City Operations”) and WPCS International - Texas Operations, Inc. (“Texas Operations”).

 

The Company is a full-service low voltage contractor that specializes in the installation and service of Voice & Data Networks, Security Systems, Audio-Visual Solutions, and Distributed Antenna Systems and provides experienced project management and delivers complex projects to key vertical markets that include Healthcare, Education, Transportation, Energy & Utilities, Oil & Gas, Manufacturing, Commercial Real Estate, Financial, Government, etc.

 

The Company also has strategic alliances with technology partners to provide consulting and application software development services for collaboration, visualization and unified communications and is aligned with major manufacturers to provide the products and technology for seamless integrated and enhanced user experience for enterprise solutions.

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The condensed consolidated financial statements of WPCS International Incorporated, a Delaware corporation (“WPCS”) and its wholly and majority-owned subsidiaries, (collectively, the “Company”) included in this Report for the three months ended July 31, 2016 and 2015, reflect the accounts of current and former entities as either continued or discontinued operations, as discussed below.

 

Continuing operations for the three months ended July 31, 2016 and 2015 include the results of operations of: (i) WPCS International Incorporated (corporate operating expenses); (ii) Suisun City Operations and the Texas Operations, the Company’s only two active operating subsidiaries; (iii) WPCS Incorporated, an inactive subsidiary; and (iv) WPCS International – Trenton, Inc. (“Trenton Operations”), which operations were closed in September 2013.

 

Discontinued operations for the three months ended July 31, 2015 include the results of WPCS Asia Limited, a 60% joint venture interest in Tai'an AGS Pipeline Construction Co. Ltd. (the “China Operations”). There are no discontinued operations for the three months ended July 31, 2016.

 

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial information furnished herein reflects all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) which are, in the opinion of management, considered necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and the results of operations and cash flows of the Company for the periods presented. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. These interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2016.

 

The results of operations for the three months ended July 31, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year.

NOTE 2 – LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

 

As of July 31, 2016, the Company had a working capital surplus of approximately $2,590,000 as compared to a working capital surplus of approximately $2,061,000 at April 30, 2016. The increase in working capital is due primarily to an increase in accounts receivable and cash received for an arbitration settlement, offset by an increase in liabilities and cash used to fund our operating loss.

 

The Company’s cash and cash equivalents balance at July 31, 2016 was $1,940,000 as compared to $2,236,000 at April 30, 2016.

 

The Company's future plans and growth are dependent on its ability to increase revenues and continue its business development efforts surrounding its contract award backlog. If the Company continues to incur losses and revenues do not generate from the backlog as expected, the Company may need to raise additional capital to expand its business and continue as a going concern. The Company currently anticipates that its current cash position will be sufficient to meet its working capital requirements to continue its sales and marketing efforts for at least 12 months from the filing date of this report. If in the future the Company’s plans or assumptions change or prove to be inaccurate, the Company may need to raise additional funds through public or private debt or equity offerings, financings, corporate collaborations, or other means. The Company may also be required to reduce operating expenditures or investments in its infrastructure.

 

NOTE 3 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

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, 2016.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

Accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”), Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) or other standard setting bodies that do not require adoption until a future date are not expected to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements upon adoption.

 

Reclassifications

 

Certain reclassifications have been made in prior years’ consolidated financial statements to conform to the current year’s presentation. These reclassifications reflect the results of the China Operations as discontinued operations for all periods presented.

 

NOTE 4 – CONCENTRATIONS

 

Accounts Receivable

 

As of July 31, 2016, two customers comprised 42% of the Company’s total accounts receivable. Also included in the accounts receivable is retainage receivable of $404,000 and $326,000 at July 31, 2016 and April 30, 2016, respectively, and both the retainage and aged accounts receivable are expected to be collected.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

For the three months ended July 31, 2016, 8% of revenue was derived from one customer as compared to two customers who generated 21% and 15% of the revenue for the same period in 2015.

NOTE 5 – BASIC AND DILUTED NET INCOME (LOSS) PER COMMON SHARE

 

Basic and diluted net income (loss) per common share from continuing operations is computed as net income (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 income 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.

 

   For the three months ended 
   July 31, 
   2016   2015 
Numerator:          
           
Income (loss) from continuing operations attributable to WPCS common shareholders  $557,181   $(4,206,760)
Income from discontinued operations, basic and diluted   -    24,756 
Net income (loss) attributable to WPCS common shareholders, basic and diluted  $557,181   $(4,182,004)

Weighted average shares outstanding – basic   2,701,404    1,470,248 
Stock options   160,524    -

Weighted average shares outstanding – diluted   3,937,628    1,470,248

Diluted income (loss) per common share  $0.14   $(2.84)

 

The following securities were excluded from the weighted average dilutive common shares outstanding because their inclusion would have been antidilutive.

 

   As of July 31, 
   2016   2015

Common stock options   865,000    41,000

NOTE 6 – COSTS AND ESTIMATED EARNINGS ON UNCOMPLETED CONTRACTS

 

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, 2016 and April 30, 2016:

 

   July 31, 2016   April 30, 2016 
         
Costs incurred on uncompleted contracts  $30,127,451   $28,884,776 
Estimated contract earnings   4,663,183    4,367,463 
    34,790,634    33,252,239 
Less: Billings to date   36,254,744    34,253,318 
Total  $(1,464,110)  $(1,001,079)
           
Costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts  $437,185   $357,210 
Billings in excess of cost and estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts   1,901,295    1,358,289 
Total  $(1,464,110)  $(1,001,079)

 

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.

ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

This Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations includes a number of forward-looking statements that reflect Management's current views with respect to future events and financial performance. You can identify these statements by forward-looking words such as “may” “will,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate” and “continue,” or similar words. Those statements include statements regarding the intent, belief or current expectations of us and members of its management team as well as the assumptions on which such statements are based. Prospective investors are cautioned that any such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve risk and uncertainties, and that actual results may differ materially from those contemplated by such forward-looking statements.

 

Readers are urged to carefully review and consider the various disclosures made by us in this report and in our other reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Important factors currently known to Management could cause actual results to differ materially from those in forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to update or revise forward-looking statements to reflect changed assumptions, the occurrence of unanticipated events or changes in the future operating results over time. We believe that its assumptions are based upon reasonable data derived from and known about our business and operations and the business and operations of the Company. No assurances are made that actual results of operations or the results of our future activities will not differ materially from its assumptions. Factors that could cause differences include, but are not limited to, expected market demand for the Company’s services, fluctuations in pricing for materials, and competition.

 

Overview

 

The Company currently specializes in contracting services offering communications, security and audio-visual infrastructure through its Suisun City and Texas Operations. We previously announced that we launched the Texas Operations in San Antonio, Texas in January 2016 and then commenced operations in Dallas, Texas in April 2016. During the quarter ended July 31, 2016, the Texas Operations generated approximately $262,000 in revenue, while incurring approximately $366,000 in selling, general and administrative expenses in starting these two offices. It is our belief that we can develop the Texas Operations and become profitable in those markets through organic growth, although there can be no assurances.

 

During the third quarter of 2015, we sold our joint venture interest in the former China Operations and therefore, the financial results of the China Operations for the three months ended July 31, 2015, are included in the results from discontinued operations in our financial statements.

 

Our Suisun City and Texas 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 three months ended July 31, 2016, we generated revenues from continuing operations of $3,416,000 as compared to $4,464,000 for the same period in 2015. Our backlog at July 31, 2016 was $13,070,000 as compared to $14,355,000 at July 31, 2015.

 

Company Strategy

 

During the past two fiscal years, our strategy in the contracting services segment included divesting certain operations through the sales of Pride, Seattle Operations and China Operations.

 

 14 

 

 

We divested and/or closed these operations either because they were not profitable, or were 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 and Texas Operations by developing new organic growth opportunities for the Company and seeking viable acquisition and/or merger candidate(s).

 

The transition from our restructuring plan to a growth plan began during fiscal 2016, as we launched the first wave of organic initiatives targeting revenue enhancement and selected demographic expansion, including:

 

·Establishing Texas Operations in San Antonio and Dallas;

 

·Strengthening our operations team with proven audio-visual and security systems professionals;

 

·Hiring an experienced direct sales team;

 

·Uniformly deploying full-service low voltage capabilities for developing, installing and servicing structured cabling, audio-visual and security systems into both our California and Texas markets; and,

 

·Introducing new recurring revenue product and service offerings.

 

We believe that these initiatives will change the Company’s business and provide more opportunities for growth.

 

Historically, our Suisun City Operations operated primarily as a subcontractor for low-voltage structured cabling systems, which were generally secured through the competitive bidding process. We were not adequately positioned with the resources to deliver a fully integrated offering to include audio-visual and security. As a result, such opportunities had either been lost, or had to be subcontracted to others. However, with the recent additions we have instituted, we are now able to offer a full turnkey service in both our Suisun City and Texas Operations that will allow us to be fully engaged with our customers well after an initial installation is completed.

 

In addition to expanding our geographical presence, broadening our contracting revenue potential and offering higher margin recurring service capabilities, we are also pursuing and securing more corporate affiliations and strategic alliances that will create more direct relationships capable of advancing our business opportunities even further.

 

We have a multi-faceted execution strategy and intend to methodically roll out new initiatives during the fiscal year. Furthermore, we continue to aggressively explore other viable growth opportunities.

 

In addition to the ongoing operational plan, at the corporate level we are evaluating and undertaking new measures to enhance our public company profile by seeking to attract new long-term minded investors, optimize our capital resources for growth and strengthen our Board of Directors.

 

We believe that our operational performance and corporate strategies will have a positive impact towards building shareholder value.

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.

 

With regards to our financial results from continuing operations for the quarter ended July 31, 2016, we generated revenue of approximately $3,416,000 as compared to revenue of $4,464,000 for the same period last year. This $1,048,000 decrease in revenue was due primarily to a $1,310,000 decrease in revenue in our Suisun City Operations related to work on one major contract, which was effectively completed during the last fiscal year, offset by adding approximately $262,000 in revenue from our newly established Texas Operations. As such, the composition of our current revenue is less reliant on one large customer contract than during the last fiscal year.

 

We generated a net income to common shareholders for the three months ended July 31, 2016 of approximately $557,000, or $0.21 per common share, which includes income from our: (i) Suisun City Operations of approximately $207,000 and (ii) corporate division of approximately $657,000, which is comprised of corporate expenses of approximately $495,000 offset by a gain on legal settlement of $1,150,000; and which was partially offset by a loss from our Texas Operations of approximately $307,000.

 

The net income to common shareholders for the three months ended July 31, 2016 compares to a net loss of approximately $4,182,000, or $2.84 per common share for the three months ended July 31, 2015, which includes: (i) a loss from operations of approximately $311,000; (ii) a gain from discontinued China Operations of approximately $41,000; and (ii) approximately $4,291,000 of non-cash dividends declared on preferred stock, which were partially offset by income of $400,000 from a Section 16 settlement.

 

We believe that our integrated, full service low voltage communication infrastructure contracting services strategy 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 identifying organic growth and selected acquisition opportunities. We are optimistic about our opportunities in the markets we currently serve, as evidenced by our new contract awards and customers continuing to seek bids from us, due to our experience and strong reputation in these markets.

Operating Loss

 

The Company had an operating loss of approximately $593,000 for the three months ended July 31, 2016. This quarter’s operating loss was comprised primarily of $208,000 in operating income from Suisun City Operations, which was offset by an operating loss of approximately $306,000 from our Texas Operations and $495,000 of corporate overhead expenses. For the three months ended July 31, 2015, the Company had an operating loss of approximately $311,000 which was comprised primarily of $544,000 in operating income from Suisun City Operations and which was offset by approximately $855,000 of corporate overhead. The details of the operating loss are as follows:

 

Revenue

 

Revenue for the three months ended July 31, 2016 decreased $1,048,000, or 23.5%, to $3,416,000, as compared to $4,464,000 for same period last year due to an approximately $1,310,000 decrease in revenue in Suisun City Operations offset by an approximately $262,000 increase in revenue from our newly established Texas Operations. This decrease in the Suisun City Operations’ revenue was primarily the result of $1,310,000 in revenue recognized from one customer contract during the prior period, which did not reoccur during the current period.

 

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 $811,000, or 24%, to $2,636,000, or 77.1% of revenue, for the three months ended July 31, 2016, as compared to $3,447,000, or 77.2% of revenue, for the same period in 2015.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

 

For the three months ended July 31, 2016, total selling, general and administrative expenses increased $40,000 or 3% to $1,353,000 as compared to $1,313,000 for the same period in 2015, which was primarily due to $368,000 of increased expenses in our newly established Texas Operations but offset by lower corporate expenses of $361,000. The Texas Operations did not have expenses during the quarter ended July 31, 2015, while the lower corporate overhead was comprised primarily of lower professional fees.

 

Depreciation and Amortization

 

For the three months ended July 31, 2016, depreciation and amortization was approximately $21,000 as compared to approximately $15,000 for the same quarter in 2015.

 

Loss from Continuing Operations

 

The Company had a net income from continuing operations of $557,000 for the three months ended July 31, 2016 as compared to $84,000 for the same period in 2015. Income from continuing operations is determined by adjusting the operating loss by the following items:

 

Interest Expense

 

For the three months ended July 31, 2016 and 2015, interest expense was approximately $1,981 and $892, respectively.

 

Income from Section 16 Settlement

 

During the quarter ended July 31, 2015, the Company recorded income of $400,000 as it recorded forgiveness of certain promissory notes as part of the settlements with certain note holders who were the remaining defendants named in a Section 16 litigation brought by a shareholder of WPCS.

 

Income from Arbitration Settlement

 

During the quarter ended July 31, 2016, the Company received $1,150,000 in connection with a global settlement agreement and mutual release to resolve all existing disputes and claims regarding the construction of the Cooper Medical School at Rowan University, located in Camden, New Jersey, in which the Company served as an electrical prime contractor.

 

Other Income (Expense)

The following items are the adjustments to the loss from continuing operations that result in determining the net loss attributable to WPCS common shareholders:

 

 18 

 

 

Income From Discontinued Operations

 

As a result of the sale of the China Operations, we have recorded all activity related to that operation as income from discontinued operations. The cumulative effect is no income or loss for the three months ended July 31, 2016 as compared to income of $41,000 for the same period in 2015. 

 

Dividends Declared on Preferred Stock

 

As a result of the issuance of preferred stock, we declared dividends, make-whole dividends, and deemed dividends of $0 for the three months ended July 31, 2016 as compared to $4,291,000 for the same period in 2015. These dividends are non-cash and were paid in common shares. The Company is no longer required to pay any such dividends on any remaining preferred stock.

 

Effects of Inflation

 

Inflation has not had a material impact on our business.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources as of July 31, 2016

 

As of July 31, 2016, we had working capital of approximately $2,590,000, which consisted of current assets of approximately $6,829,000 and current liabilities of approximately $4,239,000. This compares to working capital of approximately $2,061,000 at April 30, 2016. The current liabilities as presented in the balance sheet at July 31, 2016 primarily include approximately $2,276,000 of accounts payable and accrued expenses and approximately $1,901,000 of billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts.

 

Our cash and cash equivalents balance at July 31, 2016 was approximately $1,940,000.

 

 19 

 

 

During the prior fiscal year ended April 30, 2016, the Company had completed a series of transactions that it believed would provide it with sufficient working capital and equity to operate its business plan for the next twelve months from the date of filing this report, while it continues to seek growth opportunities, including, but not limited to: (i) organic growth to complement and enhance existing operations; (ii) acquisitions; and/or (iii) a viable merger candidate.

 

Some of these transactions provided cash to the Company while others eliminated future cash spending requirements. Along with expected continued operating profits from its Suisun City Operations for fiscal year 2017 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 from the filing date of this report. In addition, during the quarter ended July 31, 2016, we settled an outstanding legal claim and collected a cash settlement of $1,150,000.

 

Backlog

 

As of July 31, 2016, we had a backlog of unfilled orders of approximately $13,070,000 as compared to approximately $13,200,000 at April 30, 2016. 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, 2016. Our critical accounting policies and significant estimates have not changed substantially from those previously disclosed in the Form 10-K.
