TRANS-LUX CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

SeptemberJune 30, 20192020

(unaudited)

 

Note 1 Basis of Presentation

 

As used in this report, “Trans-Lux,” the “Company,” “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to Trans-Lux Corporation and its subsidiaries.

 

Financial information included herein is unaudited, however, such information reflects all adjustments (of a normal and recurring nature), which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for the fair presentation of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the interim periods. The results for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.  The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and therefore do not include all information and footnote disclosures required under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).  The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included herein should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.2019.  The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 20182019 is derived from the December 31, 20182019 audited financial statements.

 

The following new accounting pronouncements were adopted in 2019:2020:

 

In February 2016,January 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-02,2017-04, LeasesIntangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 842).  Under ASU 2016-02, a company must recognize for all leases (with the exception of leases with terms of 12 months or less) a lease liability representing a lessee's obligation to make lease payments arising from a lease and a right of use (“ROU”) asset representing the lessee's right to use, or control the use of, a specified asset for the lease term.  A lessee should recognize in the statement of financial position a liability to make lease payments (the lease liability) and an ROU asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term.  For leases with a term of 12 months or less, a lessee is permitted to make an accounting policy election by class of underlying asset not to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities. In transition, lessees and lessors are required to recognize and measure leases at the beginning of the earliest period presented using a modified retrospective approach.  In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-11, Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements, which provided an additional (and optional) transition method to adopt the new leases standard whereby an entity initially applies the new leases standard at the adoption date and recognizes a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption.  The Company adopted this standard effective January 1, 2019 using the modified retrospective method in the period of adoption.  The adoption of the standard had a material impact to our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets for the recognition of certain operating leases as ROU assets of $1,463,000, long-term lease liabilities of $1,127,000 and current lease liabilities of $368,000, but did not have a material impact on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, Comprehensive Loss, Changes in Stockholders’ Deficit or Cash Flows.  We have analyzed our leases, implemented systems, developed processes and internal controls and updated our accounting policies to comply with the standard's adoption requirements.  The Company's rental revenue agreements were accounted for under previous lease accounting standards through December 31, 2018 and are accounted for within the scope of Topic 842 following our adoption on January 1, 2019.  Topic 842 does not significantly affect the timing of recognition or presentation of revenue for our rental contracts.  See Note 9 – Leases for further details.

Table of Contents

In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07, Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting350).  ASU 2018-07 eliminates2017-04 simplifies the separate accounting modeltest for nonemployee share-based payment awards and generally requires companies to account for share-based payment transactions with nonemployees in the same way as share-based payment transactions with employees.  The accounting remains different for attribution, which represents how the equity-based payment cost is recognized over the vesting period, and a contractual term election for valuing nonemployee equity share options.  goodwill impairment.  As required by this standard, the Company adopted ASU 2018-07 on January 1, 2019.2020.  The adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations.

 

Other than the foregoing changes, there have been no material changes in our significant accounting policies during the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20192020 from the significant accounting policies described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018,2019, which was filed with the SEC on April 15, 2019.March 20, 2020.

 

The following new accounting pronouncements, and related impacts on adoption, are being evaluated by the Company:

 

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350).  ASU 2017-04 simplifies the test for goodwill impairment.  Public business entities should apply the amendments in ASU 2017-04 for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years (i.e., January 1, 2020), early application is permitted.  The Company does not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-14, Compensation – Retirement Benefits – Defined Benefit Plans – General (Subtopic 715-20).  ASU 2018-14 modifies the disclosure requirements for employers that sponsor defined benefit pension or other postretirement plans.  Public business entities should apply the amendments in ASU 2018-14 for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within those fiscal years (i.e., January 1, 2021).  Early application is permitted.  The Company does not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations.

Note 2 LiquidityGoing Concern

 

TheA fundamental principle of the preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP is the assumption that an entity will continue in existence as a going concern, which contemplates continuity of operations and the realization of assets and settlement of liabilities occurring in the ordinary course of business.  This principle is applicable to all entities except for entities in liquidation or entities for which liquidation appears imminent.  In accordance with this requirement, the Company has incurred recurring losses and hasprepared its accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements assuming the Company will continue as a working capital deficiency.  Thegoing concern.

Due to the onset of the coronavirus in the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company experienced delays in shipments from suppliers in Asia, followed by a brief shutdown of our manufacturing facility in Missouri, as well as a reduction in sales orders from customers.  As a result, the Company incurred a net loss of $1.2$2.4 million in the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20192020 and had a working capital deficiency of $1.5$5.1 million as of SeptemberJune 30, 2019.2020.

 

The Company is dependent on future operating performance in order to generate sufficient cash flows in order to continue to run its businesses.  Future operating performance is dependent on general economic conditions, as well as financial, competitive and other factors beyond our control.control, including the impact of the current economic environment, the spread of major epidemics (including coronavirus) and other related uncertainties such as government imposed travel restrictions, interruptions to supply chains and extended shut down of businesses.  In order to more effectively manage its cash resources, the Company had, from time to time, increased the timetable of its payment of some of its payables, which delayed certain product deliveries from our vendors, which in turn delayed certain deliveries to our customers.

 

In April 2019,There is substantial doubt as to whether we will have adequate liquidity, including access to the Company received aggregate proceedsdebt and equity capital markets, to operate our business over the next 12 months from the date of $6.0 million from (i) a rights offering to current shareholders under which the shareholders could purchase sharesissuance of our Common Stock at an exercise price of $1.00 per share, resulting in gross proceeds of $2.5 million (the “Rights Offering”) and (ii) the exercise of the remaining $3.5 million warrant (the “Unilumin Warrant”) issued to Unilumin North America Inc. (“Unilumin”)  Of these proceeds, a portion was used to satisfy outstanding obligations including certain long-term debt, certain payables, certain accrued liabilities and pension obligations.  On September 16, 2019, the Company entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with MidCap Business Credit LLC (“MidCap”) as lender.  The Loan Agreement allows the Company to borrow up to an aggregate of $4.0 million on a revolving credit loan based on accounts receivable, inventory and equipment for general working capital purposes.  Certain current and former directors deferred the timing of payments owed to them related to directors’ fees and current portion of long-term debt beyond one year.  In addition, athis Form 10-Q.  A stockholder of the Company has committed to providing additional capital up to $2.0 million, to the extent necessary to fund operations.  Management believes that its current cash resources and cash provided by operations will be sufficient to fund its anticipated current and near-term cash requirements within one year from the date of issuance of this Form 10-Q.  The Company continually evaluates the need and availability of long-term capital in order to meet its cash requirements and fund potential new opportunities.

Under the revenue recognition guidance provided by ASU 2014-09, revenueRevenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of promised goods or services in an amount that reflects the consideration which the entity expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services.  To determine revenue recognition for arrangements that an entity determines are within the scope of this standard, the Company performs the following five steps: (i) identify the contract(s) with a customer; (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation.  The Company only applies the five-step model to contracts when it is probable that the entity will collect the consideration it is entitled to in exchange for the goods or services it transfers to the customer.  At contract inception, once the contract is determined to be within the scope of this standard, the Company assesses the goods or services promised within each contract and determines those that are performance obligations and assesses whether each promised good or service is distinct.  The Company then recognizes as revenue the amount of the transaction price that is allocated to the respective performance obligation when (or as) the performance obligation is satisfied.  Sales tax, value added tax and other taxes collected on behalf of third parties are excluded from revenue.

Table of Contents

 

Contracts with customers may contain multiple performance obligations.  For such arrangements, the transaction price is allocated to each performance obligation based on the estimated relative standalone selling prices of the promised products or services underlying each performance obligation.  The Company determines standalone selling prices based on the price at which the performance obligation is sold separately.  If the standalone selling price is not observable through past transactions, the Company estimates the standalone selling price taking into account available information such as market conditions and internally approved pricing guidelines related to the performance obligations.

 

When determining the transaction price of a contract, an adjustment is made if payment from a customer occurs either significantly before or significantly after performance, resulting in a significant financing component.  Applying the practical expedient in paragraph 606-10-32-18, the Company does not assess whether a significant financing component exists if the period between when the Company performs its obligations under the contract and when the customer pays is one year or less.  None of the Company’s contracts contained a significant financing component as of SeptemberJune 30, 2019.

In March 2016, the FASB issued updated lease accounting guidance ("Topic 842"), as explained further in Note 9 – Leases.  We adopted Topic 842 on January 1, 2019.  Topic 842 is an update to Topic 840, which was the lease accounting standard in place through December 31, 2018.  There were no significant changes to our revenue accounting upon adoption of Topic 842.2020.

 

We recognize revenue in accordance with two different accounting standards: 1) Topic 606 and 2) Topic 842.  Under Topic 606, revenue from contracts with customers is measured based on the consideration specified in the contract with the customer, and excludes any sales incentives and amounts collected on behalf of third parties.  A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to a customer, and is the unit of account under Topic 606.  Our contracts with customers generally do not include multiple performance obligations.  We recognize revenue when we satisfy a performance obligation by transferring control over a product or service to a customer. The amount of revenue recognized reflects the consideration we expect to be entitled to in exchange for such products or services.

Performance Obligations

 

The Company has two primary revenue streams which are Digital product sales and Digital product lease and maintenance.

 

Digital Product Sales

 

The Company recognizes net revenue on digital product sales to its distribution partners and to end users related to digital display solutions and fixed digit scoreboards.  For the Company’s catalog products, revenue is generally recognized when the customer obtains control of the Company’s product, which occurs at a point in time, and may be upon shipment or upon delivery based on the contractual shipping terms of a contract.  For the Company’s customized products, revenue is either recognized at a point in time or over time depending on the size of the contract.  For those customized product contracts that are smaller in size, revenue is generally recognized when the customer obtains control of the Company’s product, which occurs at a point in time, and may be upon shipment or upon delivery based on the contractual shipping terms of a contract.  For those customized product contracts that are larger in size, revenue is recognized over time based on incurred costs as compared to projected costs using the input method, as this best reflects the Company’s progress in transferring control of the customized product to the customer.  The Company may also contract with a customer to perform installation services of digital display products.  Similar to the larger customized products, the Company recognizes the revenue associated with installation services using the input method, whereby the basis is the total contract costs incurred to date compared to the total expected costs to be incurred.

Table of Contents

 

Revenue on sales to distribution partners are recorded net of prompt-pay discounts, if offered, and other deductions.  To the extent the transaction price includes variable consideration, the Company estimates the amount of variable consideration that should be included in the transaction price utilizing the most likely amount method to which the Company expects to be entitled.  In the case of prompt-pay discounts, there are only two possible outcomes: either the customer pays on-time or does not.  Variable consideration is included in the transaction price if, in the Company’s judgment, it is probable that a significant future reversal of cumulative revenue under the contract will not occur.  Determination of whether to include estimated amounts in the transaction price are based largely on an assessment of the Company’s anticipated performance and all information (historical, current and forecasted) that is reasonably available.  The Company believes that the estimates it has established are reasonable based upon current facts and circumstances.  Applying different judgments to the same facts and circumstances could result in the estimated amounts to vary.  The Company offers an assurance-type warranty that the digital display products will conform to the published specifications.  Returns may only be made subject to this warranty and not for convenience.

 

Digital Product Lease and Maintenance

 

Digital product lease revenues represent revenues from leasing equipment that we own.  We do not generally provide an option for the lessee to purchase the rented equipment at the end of the lease and do not generate material revenue from sales of equipment under such options.  Our lease revenues do not include material amounts of variable payments.  Digital product maintenance revenues represent revenues from maintenance agreements for equipment that we do not own.  Lease and maintenance contracts generally run for periods of one month to 10 years.  A contract entered into by the Company with a customer may contain both lease and maintenance services (either or both services may be agreed upon based on the individual customer contract).  Maintenance services may consist of providing labor, parts and software maintenance as may be required to maintain the customer’s equipment in proper operating condition at the customer’s service location.  The Company concluded the lease and maintenance services represent a series of distinct services and the most representative method for measuring progress towards satisfying the performance obligation of these services is the input method.  Additionally, maintenance services require the Company to “stand ready” to provide support to the customer when and if needed.  As there is no discernable pattern of efforts other than evenly over the lease and maintenance terms, the Company will recognize revenue straight-line over the lease and maintenance terms of service.

 

The Company has an enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date, as evidenced by the requirement that the customer pay upfront for each month of services. Lease and maintenance service amounts billed ahead of revenue recognition are recorded in deferred revenue and are included in accrued liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

 

Revenues from equipment lease and maintenance contracts are recognized during the term of the respective agreements.  At SeptemberJune 30, 2019,2020, the future minimum lease payments due to the Company under operating leases that expire at varying dates through 20282030 for its rental equipment and maintenance contracts, assuming no renewals of existing leases or any new leases, aggregating $1,843,000,$1,987,000 are as follows:  $213,000$301,000 – remainder of 2019, $1,025,000 – 2020, $329,000$496,000 – 2021, $137,000$320,000 – 2022, $71,000$249,000 – 2023, $177,000 – 2024 and $68,000$444,000 thereafter.

Contract Balances with Customers

 

Contract assets primarily relate to rights to consideration for goods or services transferred to the customer when the right is conditional on something other than the passage of time.  The contract assets are transferred to the receivables when the rights become unconditional.  As of SeptemberJune 30, 20192020 and December 31, 2018,2019, the Company had no contract assets.  The contract liabilities primarily relate to the advance consideration received from customers for contracts prior to the transfer of control to the customer and therefore revenue is recognized on completion of delivery.  Contract liabilities are classified as deferred revenue by the Company and are included in customer deposits and accrued liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

 

The following table presents the balances in the Company’s receivables and contract liabilities with customers:

Transaction Price Allocated to Future Performance Obligations – alternative more qualitative presentation

 

Remaining performance obligations represents the transaction price of contracts for which work has not been performed (or has been partially performed).  The guidance provides certain practical expedients that limit this requirement and, therefore, the Company does not disclose the value of unsatisfied performance obligations for (i) contracts with an original expected length of one year or less and (ii) contracts for which revenue is recognized at the amount to which the Company has the right to invoice for services performed.  As of SeptemberJune 30, 2019,2020, the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations for digital product sales was $2.2$2.6 million and digital product lease and maintenance was $1.8$2.0 million.

 

The Company expects to recognize revenue on approximately 83%71%, 13%14% and 4%15% of the remaining performance obligations over the next 12 months, 13 to 36 months and 37 or more months, respectively.

Costs to Obtain or Fulfill a Customer Contract

 

Prior to the adoption of ASU 2014-09, theThe Company expensed incremental commissions paid to sales representatives for obtaining customer contracts.  Under ASU 2014-09, the Company currently capitalizes these incremental costs of obtaining customer contracts.  Capitalized commissions are amortized based on the transfer of the products or services to which the assets relate.  Applying the practical expedient in paragraph 340-40-25-4, the Company recognizes the incremental costs of obtaining contracts as an expense when incurred if the amortization period of the assets that the Company otherwise would have recognized is one year or less.  These costs are included in General and administrative expenses.

 

The Company accounts for shipping and handling activities related to contracts with customers as costs to fulfill the promise to transfer the associated products.  When shipping and handling costs are incurred after a customer obtains control of the products, the Company also has elected to account for these as costs to fulfill the promise and not as a separate performance obligation.  Shipping and handling costs associated with the distribution of finished products to customers are recorded in costs of goods sold and are recognized when the related finished product is shipped to the customer.

On September 16, 2019, the Company entered into the Loan Agreement with MidCap.  On June 3, 2020, the Company and MidCap entered into a modification agreement to the Loan Agreement.  The Loan Agreement has a term of three years, unless earlier terminated by the parties in accordance with the termination provisions of the Loan Agreement.  The Loan Agreement allows the Company to borrow up to an aggregate of $4.0 million at an interest rate of the 3-month LIBOR interest rate plus 4.75% (7.00%(6.18% at SeptemberJune 30, 2019)2020) on a revolving credit loan based on accounts receivable, inventory and equipment for general working capital purposes.  LIBOR is expected to be discontinued after 2021.  The Loan Agreement with MidCap provides procedures for determining a replacement or alternative rate in the event that LIBOR is unavailable.  However, there can be no assurances as to whether such replacement or alternative rate will be more or less favorable than LIBOR.  We intend to monitor the developments with respect to the potential phasing out of LIBOR after 2021 and will work with MidCap to ensure any transition away from LIBOR will have minimal impact on our financial condition.  We however can provide no assurances regarding the impact of the discontinuation of LIBOR on the interest rate that we would be required to pay or on our financial condition.  As of SeptemberJune 30, 2019, there is no2020, the balance outstanding under thisthe Loan Agreement.  Agreement was $373,000.  The Loan Agreement also requires the payment of certain fees, including a facility fee, an unused credit line fee and a collateral monitoring charge.  The Loan Agreement contains financial and other covenant requirements, including financial covenants that require the Borrowers to attain certain EBITDA amounts for certain periods, the first of which is for the three months ended December 31, 2019.September 30, 2020.  The Loan Agreement is secured by substantially all of the Borrowers’ assets.  The foregoing description of the Loan Agreement is included to provide information regarding its terms.  It does not purport to be a complete description and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Loan Agreement.

Note 9 Leases

 

The Company leases administrative and manufacturing facilities through operating lease agreements. The Company has no finance leases as of SeptemberJune 30, 2019.2020.  Our leases include both lease (e.g., fixed payments including rent) and non-lease components (e.g., common area or other maintenance costs). The facility leases include one or more options to renew.  The exercise of lease renewal options is typically at our sole discretion, therefore, the renewals to extend the lease terms are not included in our ROUright of use (“ROU”) assets or lease liabilities as they are not reasonably certain of exercise.  We regularly evaluate the renewal options and, when they are reasonably certain of exercise, we include the renewal period in our lease term.

 

Operating leases result in the recognition of ROU assets and lease liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.  ROU assets represent our right to use the leased asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments.  Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term.  As most of our leases do not provide an implicit rate, we use our estimated incremental borrowing rate at the commencement date to determine the present value of lease payments.  Most real estate leases include one or more options to renew, with renewal terms that can extend the lease term from 1 to 5 years or more.  Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.  Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.  The primary leases we enter into with initial terms of 12 months or less are for equipment.

The Company’s operations are managed in two reportable business segments: Digital product sales and Digital product lease and maintenance.  Both design and produce large-scale, multi-color, real-time digital displays.  Both operating segments are conducted on a global basis, primarily through operations in the United States.  The Company also has operations in Canada.  The Digital product sales segment sells equipment and the Digital product lease and maintenance segment leases and maintains equipment.  Corporate general and administrative items relate to costs that are not directly identifiable with a segment.  There are no intersegment sales.

Note 14 – Restructuring Costs

The Company records restructuring liabilities that represent charges in connection with consolidations of certain operations as well as headcount reduction programs.  In the third quarter of 2019, the Company approved restructuring plans to consolidate the manufacturing facilities.  The Company recorded restructuring costs of $179,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, which mainly consisted of costs to relocate equipment and inventory and other costs to consolidate the manufacturing facilities.  This restructuring relates to the digital product sales segment.  There have been no cash payments for these restructuring costs through September 30, 2019.  Therefore, the entire $179,000 is included in accrued liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at September 30, 2019.  These costs are expected to be paid in cash by the end of January 2020, when the consolidation of the manufacturing facilities is completed.  There were no restructuring costs in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018.

Note 15 Subsequent Events

 

The Company has evaluated events and transactions subsequent to SeptemberJune 30, 20192020 and through the date these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements were included in this Form 10-Q and filed with the SEC.

 

21On July 2, 2020, the Company and the City of Hazelwood agreed to a termination of the loan and a forgiveness of all accrued interest.  See Note 7 – Long-Term Debt for further details.

The Company has incurred significant recurring losses and continues to have a significant working capital deficiency.  The Company incurred a net loss of $1.2$2.4 million in the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20192020 and had a working capital deficiency of $1.5$5.1 million as of SeptemberJune 30, 2019.2020.  As of December 31, 2018,2019, the Company had a working capital deficiency of $8.5$3.1 million.  The decreaseincrease in the working capital deficiency as compared to December 31, 2018 is primarily due to the $5.5 million of exercises of the Unilumin Warrant and the $2.5 million raised from the Rights Offering, which allowed us to decreaseincreases in the current portion of long-term debt, customer deposits and accounts payable.payable, as well as decreases in accounts receivable and prepaids and other assets, partially offset by a decrease in accrued liabilities.

On July 2, 2020, the Company and the City of Hazelwood agreed to a termination of the loan and a forgiveness of all accrued interest.  The principal balance of $650,000 was repaid from Restricted Cash on that date and the forgivable loan was satisfied in full.  The Restricted Cash is included in non-current assets and the loan is included in long-term liabilities, so there is no impact on the working capital deficiency related to the principal repayment.  The interest forgiveness of $137,000 in July will result in a reduction in interest expense and a reduction in the working capital deficiency at that time.

Our results of operations may be negatively impacted by the coronavirus outbreak.

We are closely monitoring the impact of the 2019 novel coronavirus, or COVID-19, on all aspects of our business.  In March 2020, the World Health Organization characterized COVID-19 as a pandemic and the President of the United States declared the COVID-19 outbreak a national emergency.  Since then, the COVID-19 pandemic has rapidly spread across the globe and has already resulted in significant volatility, uncertainty and economic disruption.  The outbreak of COVID-19 has caused and may continue to cause travel bans or disruptions, and in some cases, prohibitions of non-essential activities, disruption and shutdown of businesses and greater uncertainty in global financial markets.  The impact of COVID-19 is fluid and uncertain, but it has caused and may continue to cause various negative effects, including an inability to meet with actual or potential customers, our end customers deciding to delay or abandon their planned purchases or failing to make payments, and delays or disruptions in our or our partners’ supply chains.  As a result, we may experience extended sales cycles, our ability to close transactions with new and existing customers and partners may be negatively impacted, and the efficiency and effect of those activities, may be negatively affected, and it has been and, until the COVID-19 outbreak is contained, will continue to be more difficult for us to forecast our operating results.  These uncertainties have, and may continue to, put pressure on global economic conditions and overall LED display spending and may cause our end customers to modify spending priorities or delay or abandon purchasing decisions, thereby lengthening sales cycles and potentially lowering prices for our solutions, and may make it difficult for us to forecast our sales and operating results and to make decisions about future investments, any of which could materially harm our business, operating results and financial condition.

Further, our management team is focused on addressing the impacts of COVID-19 on our business, which has required and will continue to require, a large investment of their time and resources and may distract our management team or disrupt our 2020 operating plans.  The extent to which COVID-19 ultimately impacts our results of operations, cash flow and financial position will depend on future developments, which are uncertain and cannot be predicted, including, but not limited to, the duration and spread of the outbreak, its severity, the actions taken by governments and authorities to contain the virus or treat its impact, and how quickly and to what extent normal economic and operating conditions can resume.  Even after the COVID-19 pandemic has subsided, we may continue to experience materially adverse impacts to our business as a result of its global economic impact, including as a result of any recession that may occur.
