Material Changes vs. Prior Period
- Revenue Growth: Revenue increased 7.2% to $6.98 million, driven by a 32.7% increase in managed video services ($3.14 million), partially offset by a 7.4% decline in OV Connect and other services due to network service churn.
- Profitability Turnaround: The company reported a net income of $32,000 compared to a net loss of $611,000 in the prior year. Operating income improved from a loss of $652,000 to a profit of $71,000.
- Expense Management: Network and infrastructure expenses decreased 14.9% to $2.41 million due to cost efficiencies and lower volume. Global managed services expenses decreased 7.8% to $1.89 million due to process automation. However, General and Administrative expenses increased 25.6% to $1.41 million due to additional headcount and benefits.
- Discontinued Operations: The ISDN resale business was classified as discontinued. It generated a loss of $6,000 in Q1 2011 compared to income of $77,000 in Q1 2010.
- Capital Structure: A 1-for-4 reverse stock split was effective January 14, 2011. The company issued 100 shares of Series B Preferred Stock during the period.
Guidance, Outlook, and Risks
- Liquidity Outlook: Management believes it has sufficient cash flow to fund operations through at least May 31, 2012, based on cost management, the Revolving Loan Facility, and the elimination of preferred stock dividends until January 2013.
- Financing: The company has a $5.0 million Revolving Loan Facility with Silicon Valley Bank (SVB), maturing June 2012. As of March 31, 2011, $750,000 was outstanding with $2.065 million in unused availability. The facility requires minimum monthly Adjusted EBITDA and cash balance covenants.
- Subsequent Events: On April 28, 2011, the company amended its Loan Agreement with SVB, modifying the EBITDA covenant to $1 from April 30, 2011, through November 30, 2011, and $250,000 thereafter. The amendment also consented to the redemption of Series B Preferred Stock under certain circumstances.
- Risks: The company faces risks related to its ability to raise additional capital on acceptable terms, negative economic conditions, and customer concentration (two major customers accounted for 27.7% of revenue in Q1 2011).
Investor Verification Checklist
- Customer Concentration: Verify the stability of the two major customers representing 27.7% of revenue and 31.8% of accounts receivable.
- Covenant Compliance: Monitor compliance with the SVB Revolving Loan Facility covenants, specifically the minimum monthly Adjusted EBITDA and unrestricted cash balance requirements.
- Discontinued Operations: Confirm the completion of the ISDN resale service transfer in Q2 2011 and the realization of the 15% recurring referral fee.
- Cash Burn: Assess the sustainability of operations given the negative operating cash flow of $103,000 and negative working capital of $520,000.
- Preferred Stock Terms: Review the terms of Series A-2 and Series B Preferred Stock, noting the dividend deferral until January 2013 and liquidation preferences.
