Financial position and liquidity

  • At June 30, cash and cash equivalents were $2.399 million, down $50,907 from year-end 2014. Total assets were $3.590 million; total liabilities were $1.675 million, all current. Stockholders’ equity was $1.916 million.
  • Six-month investing cash outflow was $7,999; net cash decreased $50,907. No interest or income taxes were paid.
  • No amount was outstanding on the $1 million revolving credit facility, which expires May 31, 2016. The company reported no non-current liabilities, material capital-expenditure commitments, or off-balance-sheet arrangements.
  • Management said existing cash and the operating plan should meet cash requirements for the next 12 months.

Material changes, outlook and risks

  • Revenue growth reflected federal prime contracts and subcontracts that were not present in the prior-year quarter, along with related software and maintenance sales. Management noted software sales and margins can fluctuate materially with product mix and sales channels.
  • Six-month gross margin declined to 33.0% from 35.0%, mainly because software gross profit fell, including a $46,844 reduction in referral fees. Professional-services gross margin was broadly stable.
  • Quarterly and six-month net losses narrowed year over year. Commissions increased with revenue and gross profit on commissionable contracts; quarterly SG&A rose slightly, while six-month SG&A edged down.
  • Customer concentration is significant: four customers generated 67.6% of second-quarter revenue. Two direct federal-agency customers contributed 27.7% and 13.3%; a government-services subcontract customer contributed 13.6%, and a commercial customer contributed 13.0%.
  • Management cited risks including federal funding and contracting changes, competition, technology shifts, project cost and timing estimates, subcontractor and supplier performance, and customer and market concentration. The filing reports no material change to the risk factors in the 2014 Form 10-K and no legal proceedings.
  • A $7,863 note-receivable forgiveness was recorded as a noncash adjustment in the six-month cash-flow reconciliation. The filing provides no further explanation in the supplied text.
  • No specific revenue or earnings guidance was provided. The company was assessing the impact and adoption method for the new revenue-recognition standard, effective for it beginning January 1, 2017.

  • Review the customer concentration and the durability, timing, and profitability of the newer federal contracts and related software sales.
  • Assess cash generation and liquidity, including the decline in deferred revenue and the company’s 12-month liquidity expectation.
  • Check the circumstances surrounding the forgiven note receivable and the potential variability of software and referral-fee margins.
