Material Changes vs. Prior Period
- Revenue Growth: Total revenue increased 19.1% year-over-year for the quarter ($1.54M vs $1.29M) and 43.1% for the six-month period ($3.07M vs $2.15M). This growth was driven primarily by the TraceCop product line, which generated $1.5M in the quarter compared to $0.8M in the prior year quarter.
- Profitability Turnaround: The company reported a net income of $325,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2010, reversing a net loss of $271,000 for the same period in 2009. Operating income improved from a loss of $245,000 to a profit of $350,000.
- Customer Support Revenue: Support and maintenance revenue declined ($102K for six months 2010 vs $171K in 2009) due to a sales mix shift toward government contracts that do not require maintenance agreements.
- Liquidity Position: Cash and cash equivalents decreased from $519,000 at year-end 2009 to $391,000 at June 30, 2010. However, the company generated $803,000 in net cash from operating activities for the six-month period, compared to a use of $774,000 in the prior year.
Guidance, Outlook, Risks, and Contingencies
Outlook and Liquidity: Management believes it has sufficient cash resources to finance operations for the next twelve months based on projected revenue growth, existing cash ($391K), a $625K line of credit with Silicon Valley Bank (SVB), and a $2.2M total commitment from CEO G. Ward Paxton (comprising a $700K revolving note and a $1.5M investment commitment). The company expects to fund operations through profits, CEO borrowings, and potentially additional private equity or debt, which may result in significant dilution.
Key Risks:
- Customer Concentration: Sales to U.S. government entities accounted for 79.9% of revenue in Q2 2010. Approximately 79.8% of Q2 revenue was attributable to just two government customers. Loss of these contracts could materially harm the business.
- Product Concentration: A large percentage of revenue is derived from the TraceCop product line.
- Capital Constraints: The company has a working capital deficit of $0.8 million. If operations do not generate positive cash flow or if financing is unavailable, the company may be unable to continue operations.
- Dilution: Conversion of preferred stock and exercise of warrants could increase common shares outstanding by approximately 16.6% to 35.0%, potentially depressing the stock price.
Unusual Items: The company paid $386,000 in preferred stock dividends and $500,000 on a loan to an officer during the six-month period. Stock-based compensation expense was $83,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2010.
Investor Verification Checklist
- Government Contract Stability: Verify the status and renewal likelihood of the two major government customers representing ~80% of Q2 revenue.
- Liquidity Runway: Confirm the availability of the $1.5M investment commitment from the CEO and the terms of the SVB line of credit, given the $0.8M working capital deficit.
- Preferred Stock Obligations: Review the liquidation preferences and dividend accruals on Series 1, 2, and 3 preferred stock, which total over $3M in liquidation preference and create significant dilution risk upon conversion.
- Revenue Mix Sustainability: Assess whether the decline in high-margin support revenue (due to government sales mix) will impact long-term profitability margins.
- Related Party Transactions: Scrutinize the terms and repayment schedule of the $470K loan payable to the CEO and the $1.5M investment commitment.
