Changes and management commentary

  • Revenue increased 5% year over year in Q2 and 24% for the first half. Management attributed growth primarily to commercial sales, partly offset by lower Defense ID sales.
  • Management attributed higher gross margins mainly to increased SaaS revenue; it cited SaaS revenue increases of 107% in Q2 and 114% for the first half.
  • Operating expenses rose 12% in Q2 and 21% in the first half, reflecting additional sales and development staffing, travel, marketing, and research and development. First-half net loss widened year over year.
  • Licensing revenue increased substantially in the first half, while equipment and non-recurring services revenue declined. Revenue recognized over time was $1.863 million for the first half, compared with $1.349 million a year earlier.
  • The company adopted ASC 606 on January 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective method; management reported no change to revenue recognition and no opening retained-earnings adjustment.

Outlook, risks, and contingencies

  • Management expects cash, anticipated operating cash flows, and credit availability to meet working-capital and capital-expenditure needs for at least 12 months. It cautioned that weaker performance or higher expenses could require additional financing or expense reductions; financing availability and terms are not assured. No specific revenue or earnings guidance was provided.
  • Two commercial identity customers represented approximately 34% of Q2 revenue and 33% of first-half revenue; the two customers together accounted for 36% of accounts receivable at June 30.
  • The company reported a $112.6 million accumulated deficit and approximately $11 million of tax net operating loss carryforwards, with a full valuation allowance on deferred tax assets. NOLs expire from 2018 through 2037 if unused.
  • Goodwill was $8.102 million. No goodwill or intangible-asset impairment was recorded in the first half; management planned its annual goodwill impairment test for Q4 and noted that future impairment could affect results.
  • Accrued expenses included $316,812 of severance for a former executive. A separate former CEO separation arrangement provides for $500,000 in aggregate payments over 20 months; the company accounted for those payments as severance at separation.
  • The filing reports no material legal proceedings, no off-balance-sheet financing arrangements, and effective disclosure controls. It identifies economic weakness and reduced consumer or business spending as risks.

Important facts to verify

  • Confirm the cash-flow figure: the cash-flow statement reports first-half operating cash use of $2,127,580, while a note states $2,127,444.
  • Reconcile the June 30 share counts: the balance sheet reports 15,625,329 shares, while the stockholders’ equity statement reports 15,625,239; the filing separately reports 15,632,196 outstanding at August 14.
  • Monitor customer concentration, commercial-sales momentum, SaaS growth, and the company’s cash burn against its 12-month liquidity outlook.
  • Assess the potential effect of goodwill impairment, executive-related payments, and any future financing or expense reductions.
