SG Blocks, Inc. — Form 10-Q Summary
Entity note: The supplied filing is for SG Blocks, Inc., not Olenox Industries Inc. It covers the quarter ended June 30, 2016 and was signed August 22, 2016.
Business context and reporting period
SG Blocks modifies cargo containers for commercial, industrial and residential construction and provides related engineering and project-management services. The company emerged from Chapter 11 on June 30, 2016. It adopted fresh-start accounting on that date, creating a Successor reporting entity; accordingly, June 30 balance-sheet figures and post-emergence accounting are not directly comparable with predecessor-period figures.
Financial performance and position
- Second-quarter revenue: $828,477, down 44% from $1,468,835 in Q2 2015. Gross profit was $141,732 (17% margin), versus $367,660 (25%). Operating loss was $525,945, compared with $174,845.
- Second-quarter net loss: $158,053, versus $235,077. The 2016 quarter included a $713,379 reorganization gain, partly offset by $80,239 of legal and professional reorganization costs.
- First-half revenue: $1,056,223, down 44% from $1,870,874. Gross profit was $196,249 (19% margin), versus $409,776 (22%). Operating loss was $777,214, versus $729,440.
- First-half net loss and cash flow: Net loss was $664,737, versus $592,122. Net cash used in operations was $832,895, versus $727,744 in the first half of 2015.
- June 30 liquidity: Cash was $955,803; current assets were $1.245 million and current liabilities $1.136 million. At August 22, the company reported approximately $694,000 of cash.
- Debt and equity after emergence: The company issued HCI a $2.5 million face-value, 12% original-issue-discount senior secured convertible debenture for $2.0 million, maturing June 30, 2018. It is convertible at $1.25 per share and secured by first-priority liens on company and subsidiary assets. Its June 30 carrying value was $1.560 million, with a $394,460 conversion-option liability. Total liabilities were $2.697 million and stockholders’ equity was $6.597 million.
Material changes and unusual items
- Revenue declines were attributed mainly to fewer completed “green steel” container projects. Management also cited reduced headcount and salaries; bankruptcy-related legal costs increased other operating expenses.
- The $600,000 debtor-in-possession loan, which carried 12% interest and had become due April 15, 2016, was repaid at emergence. Pre-emergence debt was restructured under the Chapter 11 plan; former common shares were cancelled and 491,365 new common shares issued.
- HCI received 5,405,010 convertible preferred shares and had 51.17% voting control on an as-converted basis. Preferred shares convert 1:1; management options for approximately 655,153 shares were expected in Q3 2016. Full conversion of the exit debenture could issue another 2 million common shares.
- Unsecured claims are to be paid in full, plus post-petition interest, in three installments: 50% at emergence, 25% after the next full fiscal quarter, and the remaining 25% after the following full quarter.
Outlook, risks and controls
Management said cash and operating margins are insufficient to cover existing obligations and expected operating costs. It expects growth-related capital needs over the next 18 months to exceed operating cash generation and says additional external financing is required. No additional financing commitments were in place; management warned that financing may not be available on acceptable terms. The filing states that these conditions raise substantial doubt about the company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
The company reported no material litigation at June 30 and no material off-balance-sheet arrangements other than operating leases. Customer concentration was high: two customers accounted for 76% and 19% of Q2 2016 revenue; four customers represented 79% of receivables. Management concluded disclosure controls were ineffective and described a material weakness involving financial-reporting processes, complex accounting, and limited segregation of duties. Remediation was ongoing. The filing also checked “No” for having filed all required reports during the preceding 12 months.
Important facts for investors to verify
- Confirm the registrant identity: this filing names SG Blocks, Inc., despite the request metadata naming Olenox Industries Inc.
- Track cash burn and funding availability, including the reported decline in cash from $955,803 at June 30 to approximately $694,000 at August 22.
- Verify the debt’s cash proceeds, carrying value, interest and conversion terms, collateral, and any subsequent amendments or conversions.
- Check completion and dilution effects of the management options, preferred-stock conversion, and any conversion of the exit debenture.
- Assess customer and supplier concentration, project completion and margin trends, and progress in remediating ineffective disclosure controls.
- Review the final fresh-start valuations and related goodwill and intangible-asset impairment and amortization assumptions; the filing describes the reorganization adjustments as preliminary.
