Nature of Business

 

Electro-Sensors, Inc. (the "Company") manufactures and markets a complete line of monitoring and control systems for a varietywide range of industrial machinery.machine applications. The Company uses leading-edge technology to continuously improve its products, with the ultimate goal of manufacturing the industry-preferred product for every market served.each of our served markets. The Company sells these products through an internal sales staff, manufacturers’ representatives, and distributors to a wide varietyrange of industries that use the products in a variety of applications to monitor process machinery operations. The Company markets its products to customers located throughout the United States, Canada, Latin America, Europe, and Asia.


Information regarding our recently announced merger agreement is presented in Note 5. 

 

Revenue Recognition

 

At contract inception, the Company assesses the goods and services promisedto be provided to a customer and identifies a performance obligation for each distinct promised good or service. We also determine the transaction price for each performance obligation at contract inception. Our contracts, generally in the form of a purchase order, specify the product or service that is promisedto be provided to the customer. The typical contract life is less than one month and contains a single performance obligation, to provide conforming goods or services to the customer. On someCertain contracts we have a second performance obligation, which typically is the initialization of the HazardPROTM product. For contracts that have multiple performance obligations, we allocate the transaction price to each performance obligation using the relative stand-alone selling price. We generally determine stand-alone selling prices based on the observable stand-alone prices charged to customers. We recognize product revenue at the point in time when control of the product is transferred to the customer, which typically occurs when we ship the products. We recognize service revenue at the point in time when we have provided the service.

Intangibles


Intangible assets are comprised of the HazardPRO technology andThe intangible asset is a technology license.  The Company amortizes the cost of thesethe intangible assetsasset on a straight-line method over theirthe estimated useful lives.life.  During the first six months of 2021, the Company had amortization expense related to the HazardPRO technology, which was fully amortized in the 2021 third quarter.  


Stock-Based Compensation

 

The Company records compensation expense for stock options based on the estimated fair value of the options on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes-Merton (“BSM”) option pricing model. The Company uses historical data, among other factors, to estimate the expected price volatility, the expected option life, and the expected forfeiture rate. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant for the estimated life of the option. 


As of June 30, 20212022, there was approximately $6$1 of unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested stock options. The Company expects to recognize this expense over the next two yearsthree months.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. SignificantCurrent significant estimates, including the underlying assumptions, consist of economic lives of long-lived assets, realizability of trade receivables, valuation of deferred tax assets/liabilities, inventory, investments, stock compensation expense, and the potential estimated impact on operations resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic as it relates to potential disruptions to our supply chain and customer demand. It is at least reasonably possible that these estimates may change in the near term.

Net Income (Loss) per Common Share


Basic netBasic income (loss) per common share excludes dilution and is determined by dividing net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per common share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities such as options and other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock.  DilutedDiluted net income (loss) per common share is determined by dividing net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average common shares outstanding during the period.


Diluted earnings per share ("Diluted EPS") considers the impact of potentially dilutive securities except in periods in which there is a loss because the inclusion of the potential common shares would have an anti-dilutive effect.  Diluted EPS also excludes the impact of common shares issuable upon the exercise of outstanding stock options in periods in which the option exercise price is greater than the average market price of our common stock during the period.


For the three-month periods ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, 314,577 and 332,500, respectively,weighted average common shares for underlying stock options have been excluded from the calculation.For the six-month periods ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, 332,500 and 2020, 294,412 and 332,500, 314,577, respectively, weighted average common shares for underlying stock options have been excluded from the calculation. For the six-month periods ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, 332,500 and 294,412respectively, weighted average common shares for underlying stock options have been excluded from the calculation.   


New Accounting Standard Not Yet Adopted

In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326), Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Statements. ASU 2016-13 requires a financial asset (or a group of financial assets) measured at amortized cost basis to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected. The allowance for credit losses is a valuation account that is deducted from the amortized cost basis of the financial asset(s) to present the net carrying value at the amount expected to be collected on the financial asset. In November 2018 the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-19, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses, which clarifies codification and corrects unintended application of the guidance, and in November 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-11, CodificationImprovements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses, which clarifies or addresses specific issues about certain aspects of ASU 2016-13. In November 2019 the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-10, Financial InstrumentsCredit Losses (Topic 326), Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815), and Leases (Topic 842): Effective Dates, and in February 2020 the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-02, Financial InstrumentsCredit Losses (Topic 326) and Leases (Topic 842): Amendments to SEC ParagraphsPursuant to SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 119 and Update to SEC Section on Effective Date Related to Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-02, Leases(Topic 842), both of which delay the effective date of ASU 2016-13 by three years for certain Smaller Reporting Companies such as us. In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-03, Codification Improvements to Financial Instruments, which modifies the measurement of expected credit losses of certain financial instruments. In accordance with ASU 2019-10 and ASU 2020-02, ASU 2016-13 is effective for certain Smaller Reporting Companies for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022 and interim periods within those fiscal years, which will be fiscal 2023 for us if we continue to be classified as a Smaller Reporting Company, with early adoption permitted. We are evaluating the potential impact of ASU 2016-13 on our financial statements.

Note 5. Merger Agreement with Mobile X Global, Inc. 

On June 10, 2022, Electro-Sensors, Inc. (“ELSE” or “Electro-Sensors”) entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Mobile X Newco, Inc., a Delaware corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of ELSE (the “Merger Sub”), and Mobile X Global, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Mobile X”) (together with ELSE and Merger Sub the “Parties”). Mobile X Global, Inc. is a new entrant in the global mobile industry founded by its CEO Peter Adderton.Mobile X plans to launch a new mobile wireless brand called Mobile X in the United States in 2022, enabled by a network agreement with a major carrier.

The Merger is structured as a statutory reverse triangular merger under Delaware and Minnesota law, under which Merger Sub will be merged with and into Mobile X Global, Inc., with Mobile X Global, Inc. surviving the Merger and becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of ELSE. In connection with the Merger, ELSE will reincorporate in Delaware, be re-named Mobile X Global, Inc., and operate both the new MobileX wireless business and the existing Electro-Sensors business. The Merger Agreement also provides that Electro-Sensors, Inc. will effect a four-for-one reverse stock split shortly before completion of the Merger, unless the Parties agree on a different reverse split ratio.

In connection with the execution of the Merger Agreement, a third-party institutional investor has entered into a commitment letter with Mobile X Global, Inc. to provide equity financing in the form of convertible preferred stock of up to $20.0 million upon closing of the Merger. The commitment is subject to diligence and definitive agreements satisfactory to the third-party institutional investor, including an agreement for a $50.0 million equity line of credit to be provided by the investor. The equity line of credit would provide significant additional liquidity, at the option of Mobile X. The commitment letter terminates on October 31, 2022.

It is anticipated that, immediately after the Merger, former Mobile X stockholders will own approximately 76% of the combined company, legacy ELSE shareholders will own approximately 11% of the combined company, and that the third-party institutional investor noted above (or an alternative investor agreed to by the Parties to the Merger Agreement) and certain other investors will own approximately 13% of the combined company, all based on current ownership of ELSE and Mobile X, and assuming the closing of $20.0 million of equity financing on the terms contained in the commitment letter from the third-party institutional investor noted above.

ELSE expects the approximately 325,000 of currently outstanding options to acquire ELSE shares to be exercised in connection with the Merger prior to the record date of the cash dividend discussed below. Assuming this exercise, and based on the relative valuations agreed to by Mobile X and ELSE, and after giving effect to the reverse stock split at a ratio of four-for-one, the legacy ELSE shareholders would own approximately 932,005 shares, the Mobile X stockholders would own approximately 6,668,294 shares, the third-party institutional investor noted above (or an alternative investor agreed to by the Parties to the Merger Agreement) would own approximately 1,066,860 shares (on an as-converted to common basis) assuming the closing of $20.0 million of equity financing on the terms in the commitment letter, and approximately 75,851 shares would be held by others.

In addition to their continuing interest in the combined company, legacy Electro-Sensors shareholders as of a record date to be determined before the closing of the Merger would receive special cash dividends expected to be approximately $18.0 million in the aggregate, with the amount of the dividends possibly adjusted based on the amount of ELSE transaction expenses and its working capital balance at the closing of the Merger, and further adjusted for indebtedness, if any, and transaction bonuses, if any, approved by the ELSE board of directors. Aggregate cash dividends of $18.0 million would be approximately $4.83 per share based on the current, pre-reverse split, fully diluted shares of Electro-Sensors.

Closing of the Merger is subject to specified conditions, including, among other matters: (i) the approval by Mobile X stockholders and ELSE shareholders of the Merger; (ii) a registration statement becoming effective under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, related to the shares being issued to the Mobile X stockholders in the Merger and the clearance of the proxy statement related to the approval by the ELSE shareholders of the Merger; (iii) receipt of $20.0 million in third party equity financing; (iv) listing of the combined company's common stock on Nasdaq; and (v) the filing of an amendment to ELSE 's Articles of Incorporation to increase the number of shares of common stock authorized for issuance to a number at least large enough to consummate the Merger, allowing the issuance of shares to former Mobile X stockholders and any third-party investors, after giving effect to the reverse stock split described above.


In connection with the execution of the Merger Agreement, Electro-Sensors' directors, officers, and certain major shareholders, who collectively own a majority of Electro-Sensors' outstanding shares, have entered into agreements with Mobile X to vote their shares in favor of the Merger at a special meeting of shareholders to be held before the closing of the Merger on a date to be announced. In addition, directors, officers and certain major stockholders of Mobile X, who collectively own a majority of Mobile X's outstanding shares, have entered into similar voting agreements.

Based on rapidly changing dynamics in global supply chains of materials and components, we may experience both price increases and difficulty in sourcing materials and components.  In addition, we may experience changes in transportation and freight availability that may make it difficult to have materials and components shipped to us or our products shipped to customers in a timely manner. 

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES


The preparation of our financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make decisions based upon estimates, assumptions, and factors it considers relevant to the circumstances. These decisions include the selection of applicable accounting principles and the use of judgment in their application and affect reported amounts and disclosures. Changes in economic conditions or other business circumstances may affect the outcomes of management’s estimates and assumptions. An in-depth description of our accounting estimates can be found in the interim financial statements included in this report and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020.2021.

COVID-19 Pandemic Discussion


The COVID-19 pandemic continues to negatively impact our operations, including limiting our ability to travel and fully engage customers at their facilities. While many regions of the USUnited States have reduced the severevarious restrictions implemented duringbeginning in 2020, many areas are once again adding newof our customers and potential customers continue to operate under modified and changing restrictions based on increases inthe number of local or regional COVID-19 cases.  The uncertainty surrounding this recent uptickthe ongoing fluctuations in casesregional case counts creates additional uncertainty in our business and may negatively affect our 20212022 financial results.

 

Supply Chain Dynamics


We typicallytraditionally have had one or more robust sources for production components and materials.  However, we are increasingly experiencing significant disruptions in our supply chain, resulting in difficulty sourcing some parts. Additionally, we are experiencing price increases for many of the components used in our products. In certain situations, we are modifying product designs to accommodate new components that are more readily available.  There is no guarantee that we will continue to be successful in updating these designs and sourcing alternative components, and we could experience significant delays or run out of certain components and materials. We are also seeing delays in shipping and transportation services, which may adversely affect our ability to make timely deliveries to our customers. Furthermore, the labor market for qualified employees able to fill our production positions is very challenging and we may struggle to fillresult in delays in filling open positions.  While we continue to closely manage our workforce, lead times, and deliverieseach of components,these activities, our actions may not be successful and may result in a negative impactseffect on our sales and profit margins.


Future Corporate and Business Development Activities

We substantially increased these business development activities in the second half of 2021 and first half of 2022.  On June 10, 2022, we announced that we had entered into the Merger Agreement with Mobile X Global, Inc.
