Basis of Presentation and General Information | The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of root9B Holdings, Inc. (“root9B” or the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company’s Annual Report filed with the SEC on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of consolidated financial position and the consolidated results of operations for the interim periods presented have been reflected herein. Notes to the financial statements which would substantially duplicate the disclosure contained in the audited consolidated financial statements for fiscal year 2016 as reported in the 10-K have been omitted. The consolidated results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for future quarters or the full year. Going Concern and Liquidity We had a net loss from continuing operations of $3,771,262 for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and $18,299,187 for the year ended December 31, 2016. Our working capital increased from $3,714,617 to $3,752,220 during the three months ended March 31, 2017, and $1,600,000 of our unsecured convertible promissory notes due on May 21, 2017 were extended to May 21, 2018. The Company has no existing lines of credit. During 2016, we incurred substantial costs in our efforts to grow the Cyber Solutions (“CS”) business segment. We hired additional personnel, engaged in strategic marketing and brand-building efforts, built-out the Adversary Pursuit Center (“APC”) and other new offices opened, incurred legal fees related to trademarks and patents, and engaged in extensive research and development projects to enhance the Orkos and HUNT software platforms. These investments in the Cyber Solutions segment were made in anticipation of revenue growth during 2017, of which, there can be no assurance. During the three months ended March 31, 2017, we incurred significant labor costs, software research and development, and advertising expenses as we continue to invest in and build out CS resources and expertise as we position this segment for future growth. We have not been able to secure enough CS contracts to support our continuing operations, and we anticipate requiring additional capital to grow our CS business segment, fund operating expenses, and make principal and interest payments on our promissory note obligations. During 2016 and early 2017, we took steps to mitigate these factors by: 1) Entering into various debt and equity financing arrangements described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for 2016 and Notes 7 and 8 in this Form 10-Q. 2) Selling our Control Engineering, Inc., (“CEI”) subsidiary on December 31, 2016 and completing the sale of a substantial portion of our wholly-owned subsidiary IPSA International, Inc (“IPSA”) on April 30, 2017. See Note 4 “Discontinued Operations” and Note 13 “Subsequent Events” for further information. 3) Focusing 100% of our efforts on the growth of the Cyber Solutions contract pipeline. Despite the measures discussed above, our current levels of cash on hand, working capital and proceeds from the debt offerings in the first quarter of 2017 and the IPSA transaction has not been sufficient to alleviate our liquidity issues and, as a result, management has determined additional capital is required in order to sustain operations for one year beyond the issuance of these unaudited interim consolidated financial statements. The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern for at least the next 12 months following the issuance of our financial statements and do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result should we be unable to continue as a going concern. Revision of Previously-Issued Financial Statements During the quarter ended March 31, 2017, the Company revised its consolidated financial statements for 2016 to record an income tax benefit for discontinued operations related to an error identified in its income tax provision for the three months ended December 31, 2016. Additionally, the Company recorded a loss on assets held for sale for discontinued operations to arrive at the fair value of the net assets held for sale determined at December 31, 2016. As detailed below, the combined net effect of these adjustments were $0 and only affected discontinued operations. The Company assessed the effect of the above errors in the aggregate on prior periods’ financial statements in accordance with the SEC’s Staff Accounting Bulletins No. 99 and 108 and, based on an analysis of quantitative and qualitative factors, determined that the errors were not material to any of the Company’s prior annual financial statements. The Company determined that the correction of the cumulative amounts of the errors would be material to the first quarter 2017 unaudited consolidated financial statements, and as such, the Company revised its previously-issued consolidated financial statements for 2016. All financial information contained in the accompanying notes to these unaudited interim consolidated financial statements has been revised to reflect the correction of these errors. The following table presents the effect of the aforementioned revision on the Company’s assets and liabilities classified as held for sale as reflected in the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of December 31, 2016: As of December 31, 2016 As Reported Revision As Revised Intangible assets $ 7,083,870 $ (696,429 ) $ 6,387,441 Total assets of the disposal group classified as held for sale $ 10,956,392 $ (696,429 ) $ 10,259,963 Accrued expenses and other current liabilities $ 2,225,342 $ (696,429 ) $ 1,528,913 Total liabilities of the disposal group classified as held for sale $ 4,410,348 $ (696,429 ) $ 3,713,919 Total net assets classified as held for sale $ 6,546,044 $ — $ 6,546,044 The following tables present the effect of the aforementioned revisions on the Company’s discontinued operations associated with CEI and IPSA as reflected in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2016: Year Ended December 31, 2016 As Reported Revision As Revised Goodwill impairment $ (7,215,181 ) $ (696,429 ) $ (7,911,610 ) Loss before income taxes (10,824,699 ) (696,429 ) (11,521,128 ) Income tax (expense) benefit (1,045,283 ) 696,429 (348,854 ) Loss from discontinued operations, net of taxes $ (11,869,982 ) $ — $ (11,869,982 ) In the fourth quarter of 2016, we determined that it would be appropriate to modify the presentation of certain descriptions within our Consolidated Statements of Operations to reflect our change in strategy to evolve into a pure-play cybersecurity company which provides cybersecurity and business advisory services. We believe the change does not represent an error in prior presentations; rather it is consistent with the change in our strategic focus. Periods presented herein are based on the revised presentation. The following table presents the effect of the aforementioned revisions on our Consolidated Statements of Operations as of March 31, 2016, and also reflects the presentation for discontinued operations of our IPSA and CEI subsidiaries. See Note 4 “Discontinued Operations.” March 31, 2016 As Previously Presented Adjustments As Revised Cost of revenues $ 2,765,518 $ (2,765,518 ) $ — Direct cost of revenues $ — $ 2,435,503 $ 2,435,503 Selling, general and administrative $ 2,991,714 $ 330,015 $ 3,321,729 Use of Estimates The preparation of the Company’s Consolidated unaudited financial statements, in conformity with GAAP, requires management to make estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates. |
