NOTE A – NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
As used herein, except as otherwise indicated by context, references to “we,” “us,” or “Numerex” refer to Numerex Corp. and its subsidiaries. We are a leading provider of interactive and on-demand machine-to-machine, referred to as M2M, technology and service, offered on a subscription basis, used in the development and support of M2M solutions for the consumer, enterprise and government markets worldwide and connecting mobile technology to the internet, also known as the Internet of Things (IoT). We offer Numerex DNA® that can include hardware and smart Devices, cellular and satellite Network services, and software Applications that are delivered through Numerex FAST® (Foundation Application Software Technology). In addition, we offer business services to enable the development of efficient, reliable, and secure solutions while accelerating deployment. We are ISO 27001 information security-certified, highlighting our focus on M2M data security, service reliability, and round-the-clock support of our customers’ M2M solutions.
We prepared the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, referred to as GAAP, for interim financial information and the Rules and Regulations issued by the Securities Exchange Commission, or SEC, as applicable. These financial statements include all of our accounts and those of our wholly-owned subsidiaries. We have eliminated intercompany transactions and balances in consolidation.
Certain information and note disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted, although we believe that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information not misleading. In the opinion of management, the accompanying financial statements reflect all adjustments, which consist of normal recurring adjustments unless otherwise disclosed, considered necessary for a fair presentation of our financial position as of June 30, 2014 and our operating results and cash flows for the interim periods presented. The accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2013 was derived from our audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP. The financial information presented herein should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 which includes information and disclosures not included in this quarterly report.
The preparation of financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 may not be indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2014 or any future periods.
Reclassifications
Certain prior period amounts in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.
NOTE B – ACQUISITIONS
2014 Acquisition
On May 5, 2014, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the merger agreement, we merged our wholly-owned subsidiary with and into Omnilink Systems Inc. (“Omnilink”) with Omnilink surviving the merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. The purchase price of $37.5 million was composed of a cash payment of $37.3 million and a working capital adjustment of $0.2 million, subject to post-closing purchase price adjustments and escrows as provided in the merger agreement. The estimated working capital adjustment represents the estimated future payment to be made as defined in the merger agreement. We do not expect this amount to materially change.
Omnilink provides tracking and monitoring services for people and valuable assets via Omnilink’s M2M platform that connects hardware, networks, software, and support services. We expect our combination with Omnilink to provide operating synergies and create potential growth opportunities through product enhancement and channel expansion. The assets, liabilities and operating results of Omnilink are reflected in our condensed consolidated financial statements commencing from the acquisition date.
NUMEREX CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES
UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2014
The following table summarizes the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the closing date of the Omnilink acquisition. We are in the process of finalizing the fair value purchase price allocations, but that process is not yet complete. The principal reasons that some of the initial fair value purchase price allocations are not yet complete are the time available after the closing date, scope of the operational integration and valuation efforts as well as the complexity presented in the valuation of the tax effects related to tax attributes and other deferred tax items. The primary areas that are not yet finalized relate to inventory, intangible assets, the calculation of deferred taxes and their effect on the residual value for goodwill. We have recorded deferred tax liabilities for indefinite lived assets which will not be netted against deferred tax assets. There have been no measurement period adjustments. The following table presents provisional measurements that are subject to change (dollars in thousands):
| | | | | Estimated | |
| | Fair Value | | | Useful Lives | |
Cash | | $ | 195 | | | | n/a | |
Accounts receivable | | | 2,677 | | | | n/a | |

Net assets acquired | | $ | 37,523 | | | | | |
| | | |
|
|
| (a) | The weighted average remaining useful life for all property and equipment is approximately four years. |
The total purchase consideration for the acquisition was allocated to identifiable assets purchased and liabilities assumed based on fair value.
The gross amount of accounts receivable in the table above is $2.9 million. Based on the nature and financial strength of the customers, we expect to collect amounts due for the accounts receivable of $2.7 million. Our best estimate at the acquisition date of the contractual cash flows not expected to be collected is $0.2 million.
Acquired intangible assets are measured at fair value. The estimated fair value attributed to the customer relationships was determined based upon a discounted cash flow forecast. The fair value of the customer relationships will be amortized over a period of 11 years on a straight-line basis, which approximates the pattern in which the economic benefits of the customer relationships are expected to be realized. Amortization of customer relationships is expected to be $0.5 million annually and $0.1 million per quarter. The estimated fair values attributed to technology and trade names were determined using the relief-from-royalty method. This method assumes the technology and trade names have value to the extent that the owner is relieved of the obligation to pay royalties for the benefits received from them. The fair value of technology will be amortized over a period of 14 years on a straight-line basis, which approximates the pattern in which the economic benefits of the technology are expected to be realized. Amortization of technology is expected to be $0.4 million annually and $0.1 million per quarter. Trade names will not be amortized due to their indefinite life. Estimates of useful life are based upon the period within which cumulative cash flows attributable to the intangible asset exceeds 95% of the total discounted cash flows. The combined amortization for customer relationships and technology is expected to be $0.9 million annually and $0.2 million per quarter.

The residual allocation to goodwill results from such factors as an assembled workforce, expected significant synergies for market growth and profitability as well as Omnilink's service and product lines contributing to our becoming the market leader in select M2M vertical markets. The total amount of goodwill will not be deductible for tax purposes.
Unaudited Pro forma Results
The condensed consolidated statement of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2014 include $2.2 million of net sales and $0.1 million of net income contributed by Omnilink for the period from the acquisition date of May 5, 2014 through June 30, 2014.

2013 Acquisitions
On February 1, 2013, we purchased substantially all of the assets and business of a small technology company that provides products and services for environmental monitoring, wireless remote control and monitoring, wireless sensor networks, and connected device consulting. We acquired the company’s assets to expand our technical capabilities and the market segments we serve. Total consideration was $1.1 million, comprised of $0.2 million in cash and 73,587 shares of our common stock having a fair value at the time of issuance of $0.9 million and the assumption of certain liabilities. No goodwill was recorded in connection with this acquisition. The shares of common stock are subject to various time-based selling restrictions. Pro forma results of operations were not presented as the acquisition was not material to our results of operations for the periods presented.
On December 2, 2013, we acquired substantially all the assets, products and technologies of a small technology company that provided remote monitoring and management of bulk storage tanks. The acquisition expands the scope and scale of our capabilities in supply chain and remote monitoring markets. Total consideration was $2.8 million in cash, of which $0.2 million will be paid on December 2, 2014. Goodwill of $1.5 million was recorded in connection with this acquisition. Pro forma results of operations were not presented as the acquisition was not material to our results of operations for the periods presented.
NOTE C – DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
During the year ended December 31, 2013, we decided to exit certain businesses and related products that are not core to our future business plans. These non-core businesses include BNI Solutions, Inc. (BNI), Digilog, Inc. and DCX Systems, Inc. These businesses were previously reported in our consolidated financial statements as a separate segment, “Other Services”. The related products and services include video conferencing hardware and installation of telecommunications equipment, all of which are unrelated to our core M2M communication products and services.
All assets and liabilities of the discontinued operations were reclassified into two line items, assets and liabilities of discontinued operations, and classified as current in the accompanying December 31, 2013 condensed consolidated balance sheets. All revenues and expenses of the discontinued operations were reclassified and presented in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive (loss) income as loss from discontinued operations, net of income taxes, after (loss) income from continuing operations, net of income taxes and before net loss. Similarly, all cash flows of the discontinued operations were reclassified and presented in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of cash flows as cash flows from discontinued operations.
On June 30, 2014, we completed the sale and disposition of all of the capital stock of BNI and remaining discontinued operations were subsequently dissolved. The following table presents the summarized financial results of the discontinued operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 (in thousands):

Remaining useful lives in the preceding table were calculated on a weighted average basis as of June 30, 2014. We did not incur significant costs to renew or extend the term of acquired intangible assets during the three or six months ending June 30, 2014. We acquired intangible assets, excluding goodwill, totaling $14.7 million in an acquisition during the three months ended June 30, 2014. See Note B – Acquisitions.
Amortization expense related to intangible assets was $1.2 million and $1.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and was $2.2 million and $1.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. In addition, $0.1 million of intangible asset amortization expense is recorded in cost of subscription revenues in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive (loss) income for both of the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, and $0.2 million is recorded for both the six month periods ended June 30, 2014 and 2013.

| | | 25,167 | | | | 1,108 | |
Less current portion of long-term debt | | | 3,446 | | | | 633 | |
Noncurrent portion of long-term debt | | $ | 21,721 | | | $ | 475 | |
On May 5, 2014, we entered into a Second Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with Silicon Valley Bank in order to, among other things, establish a term loan of $25.0 million and a revolving line of credit of up to $5.0 million (collectively, the “Credit Facility”). The proceeds from the term loan were used to finance the Omnilink merger. See Note B - Acquisitions.
Under the Loan Agreement, the maturity date of the loan is May 5, 2019 with regular required quarterly principal payments beginning June 30, 2014 equal to one fourth of 10% of the original principal amount through the quarter ended March 31, 2015 and increments to 15% for the quarterly periods through March 31, 2017 and to 20% for the quarterly periods through March 31, 2019 with any unpaid principal due at maturity. The interest rate applicable to amounts drawn from the Credit Facility currently is 3.4% as of June 30, 2014 and is, at our option, determined by reference to the prime rate or LIBOR rate plus a margin established in the Loan Agreement. The Credit Facility is secured by all assets, including our intellectual property. The Loan Agreement includes customary representations and warranties as well as affirmative and negative covenants.
NOTE G – LOSS CONTINGENCY
We have a loss contingency for a billing dispute with one of our vendors. The contingency relates to the transition to an amended agreement with the vendor. The financial statements for the three months ended June 30, 2014 reflect our best estimate of costs related to the transition to the amended agreement. However, if we cannot satisfactorily resolve the dispute, we may owe the vendor an additional amount of up $0.3 million for the three month period ended June 30, 2014.
NOTE H – EQUITY-BASED COMPENSATION
At our annual shareholder meeting on May 16, 2014, our shareholders approved the 2014 Stock and Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) to replace the Numerex Corporation 2006 Long Term Incentive Plan, as amended (the “2006 Plan”). The maximum number of shares of Class A common stock that may be issued under the Plan is 3.3 million shares less any shares remaining to be issued from the 2006 Plan plus the number of shares, but not in excess of 500,000 shares, covered by awards providing for the issuance of shares granted under the 2006 Plan that cease to be covered by such awards by reason of termination, expiration or forfeiture of the award after adoption of the Plan.
NOTE I – INCOME TAXES
We recorded an income tax benefit from continuing operations of $0.7 million and $0.1 million, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, as compared to an income tax benefit of $2.5 million for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2013. The effective tax rates were 150.9% and (5.8%), respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 120.2% and 120.9%, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, the difference between our effective tax rates and the 34.0% federal statutory rate resulted primarily from (1) the income tax benefit for the capital loss from the disposal of BNI due to the ability to offset capital gains in our current tax year and to carry back for capital gains in prior tax years, (2) the portion of transaction costs incurred in the Omnilink merger that are not deductible for income taxes and (3) state income taxes, including the tax effect of changes in effective state income tax rates resulting from the merger with Omnilink.
NUMEREX CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES
UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2014
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, the difference between our effective tax rates and the federal statutory tax rate resulted primarily from our tax accounting method change allowing a one-time acceleration and catch-up of depreciation and amortization. The tax accounting method change related to our 2003 acquisition of our former joint venture partner’s interest in our Cellemetry LLC subsidiary. State tax accruals related to unrecognized tax benefits also contributed to the difference between the effective and federal statutory tax rates for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013.
Our valuation allowance is still recorded for some deferred tax assets for which we have determined it is more likely than not expiration will occur before utilization. The deferred tax assets for which a valuation allowance has been established consist of certain state and foreign net operating losses. We file U.S., state and foreign income tax returns in jurisdictions with varying statutes of limitation. The 2010 through 2013 tax years generally remain subject to examination by federal and most state tax authorities. However, certain returns from years in which net operating losses have arisen are still open for examination by the tax authorities.
We are in the process of finalizing the fair value purchase price allocations for the Omnilink acquisition. Income taxes related to Omnilink have not been recorded because the analysis for deferred taxes related to some assets, liabilities, tax attributes and other items is incomplete and we have not yet determined the magnitude of net deferred tax assets and associated valuation allowances, if any. The primary areas that are not yet finalized relate to inventory, intangible assets, the calculation of deferred taxes and their effect on the residual value for goodwill. The principal reasons that some of the initial fair value purchase price allocations are not yet complete are the time available after the closing date, scope of the operational integration and valuation efforts as well as the complexity presented in the valuation of the tax effects related to tax attributes and other deferred tax items. See Note B – Acquisitions.
NOTE J – OTHER (INCOME) EXPENSE, NET
Other (income) expense, net includes $1.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 for a pre-tax gain on the sale of a cost method investment in a privately-held business. The carrying value of our investment was $0.2 million and we sold it for proceeds of $1.3 million.
NOTE K – NET EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net (loss) income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period excluding the dilutive impact of common stock equivalents. Diluted earnings per share include the effect of all potentially dilutive securities on earnings per share. The dilutive effect of outstanding equity-based compensation awards and warrants is computed using the treasury stock method. The computation of diluted earnings per share does not assume exercise of securities that would have an anti-dilutive effect on earnings.
The following table presents a reconciliation of the shares used in the calculation of basic and diluted net (loss) income per share from continuing operations contained in our condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive (loss) income (in thousands):

NOTE L – RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In June 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued guidance that applies to all reporting entities that grant their employees share-based payments in which the terms of the award provide that a performance target that affects vesting could be achieved after the requisite service period. It requires that a performance target that affects vesting, and that could be achieved after the requisite service period, be treated as a performance condition and follows existing accounting guidance for the treatment of performance conditions. The standard will be effective for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015, with early adoption permitted. We do not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.
In May 2014, the FASB issued new accounting guidance for revenue recognized from contracts with customers. The core principle of the guidance is that a company will recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In doing so, companies will need to use more judgment and make more estimates than under current guidance. These may include identifying performance obligations in the contract, estimating the amount of variable consideration to include in the transaction price and allocating the transaction price to each separate performance obligation. The guidance will become effective during the first quarter of 2017 fiscal year and will require retrospective application. We are currently in the process of evaluating the impact of adoption on our consolidated financial statements.
In April 2014, the FASB issued amendments to guidance for reporting discontinued operations and disposals of components of an entity. The amended guidance requires that a disposal representing a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on an entity’s financial results or a business activity classified as held for sale should be reported as discontinued operations. The amendments also expand the disclosure requirements for discontinued operations. The amendments are effective for us prospectively for fiscal years, and interim reporting periods within those years, beginning January 1, 2015 (early adoption is permitted only for disposals that have not been previously reported). The implementation of the amended guidance is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.
In July 2013, the FASB issued new accounting guidance related to the presentation of unrecognized tax benefits when a net operating loss carry-forward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carry-forward exists. This guidance clarifies that an unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion of an unrecognized tax benefit, should be presented in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carry-forward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carry-forward if such settlement is required or expected in the event the uncertain tax position is disallowed. In situations where a net operating loss carry-forward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carry-forward is not available at the reporting date under the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction or the tax law of the jurisdiction does not require, and the entity does not intend to use, the deferred tax asset for such purpose, the unrecognized tax benefit should be presented in the financial statements as a liability and should not be combined with deferred tax assets. This guidance was effective for us prospectively for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning January 1, 2014. Because the guidance only affects presentation, adoption did not have a material effect on our financial condition or results of operations.
In March 2013, the FASB issued an update to the accounting standards to clarify the applicable guidance for a parent company’s accounting for the release of the cumulative translation adjustment into net income upon derecognition of certain subsidiaries or groups of assets within a foreign entity or of an investment in a foreign entity. This guidance was effective for us prospectively for fiscal periods beginning after January 1, 2014. Adoption did not have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations.

As further described below, during the three months ended June 30, 2014, we completed a merger with Omnilink Systems, Inc. (Omnilink). For the three months ended June 30, 2014, we generated total revenues of $22.6 million, an increase of 30.7% compared to the three months ended June 30, 2013. Gross margins increased 23.0% over the same period. Income from continuing operations, net of income taxes was $0.2 million, or $0.01 per diluted share.
For the six months ended June 30, 2014, we generated total revenues of $43.4 million, an increase of 28.6% compared to the six months ended June 30, 2013. Gross margins increased 17.8% over the same period. Income from continuing operations, net of income taxes was $1.4 million, or $0.07 per diluted share.
Our net (loss) income, excluding the effect of the operations of Omnilink, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, as compared to the corresponding prior year periods, reflect favorable gross profit results due principally to higher embedded device and hardware margins in 2014 as compared to nominal or negative margins in 2013. Operating expenses for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, as compared to the same periods in 2013, are higher primarily due to transaction costs associated with the Omnilink acquisition, equity-based compensation, increased marketing efforts and recent network investments. Interest expense was higher for the second quarter of 2014 due to the financing of the Omnilink acquisition. There was also a large non-recurring gain on sale of a cost-method investment during the three months ended March 31, 2014 that resulted in an increase in other income for the six months ended June 30, 2014. The three and six months ended June 30, 2014 experienced lower tax benefits than the comparable periods in 2013 due to the income tax benefit generated by the loss on disposal of discontinued operations as of June 30, 2013 and the effect in 2013 of adjustments related to prior periods.
On May 5, 2014, we completed our acquisition of Omnilink, with Omnilink surviving as a 100% wholly-owned subsidiary. The purchase price paid was $37.5 million, subject to post-closing purchase price adjustments and escrows as provided in the merger agreement. Omnilink provides tracking and monitoring services for people and valuable assets via Omnilink’s M2M platform that connects hardware, networks, software, and support services. We expect our combination with Omnilink to provide operating synergies and create potential growth opportunities through product enhancement and channel expansion. The condensed consolidated statement of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2014, includes approximately $2.2 million of net sales and less than $0.1 million of net income contributed by the newly acquired product and service lines for the period from the acquisition date of May 5, 2014 through June 30, 2014. The acquisition is being fully integrated into our operations and discrete financial information will not be available for separate disclosure in subsequent financial statements and management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and operating results.
We are in the process of finalizing the fair value purchase price allocations for the Omnilink acquisition. Final income taxes related to Omnilink have not been recorded because the analysis for deferred taxes related to some assets, liabilities, tax attributes and other items is incomplete and we have not yet determined the magnitude of net deferred tax assets and associated valuation allowances, if any. The primary areas that are not yet finalized relate to inventory, intangible assets, the calculation of deferred taxes and their effect on the residual value for goodwill. We have recorded deferred tax liabilities for indefinite lived assets which will not be netted against deferred tax assets. The principal reasons that some of the initial fair value purchase price allocations are not yet complete are the time available after the closing date, scope of the operational integration and valuation efforts as well as the complexity presented in the valuation of the tax effects related to tax attributes and other deferred tax items. See Note B – Acquisitions.
In conjunction with the Omnilink merger, we also entered into an amended Loan Agreement with Silicon Valley Bank in order to, among other things; establish a term loan of $25.0 million and a revolving line of credit of up to $5.0 million. The proceeds from the term loan were used to finance the Omnilink merger.
During the year ended December 31, 2013, we decided to exit certain businesses and related products that were not core to our future business plans. These non-core businesses included BNI, Digilog, Inc. and DCX Systems, Inc. These businesses were previously reported in our consolidated financial statements as a separate segment, “Other Services”. The related products and services include video conferencing hardware and installation of telecommunications equipment, all of which are unrelated to our core M2M communication products and services.
On June 30, 2014, we completed the sale and disposition of all of the capital stock of BNI Solutions, Inc. (BNI), previously classified as discontinued operations. We recognized a $0.3 million pre-tax loss on the disposal. Additionally, we recognized a loss of less than $0.1 million on the dissolution of the other subsidiaries that were classified as discontinued operations.
All assets and liabilities of the discontinued operations were reclassified into two line items, assets and liabilities of discontinued operations, and classified as current in the accompanying December 31, 2013 condensed consolidated balance sheet. There are no assets or liabilities reported as discontinued operations as of June 30, 2014, due to our disposal and dissolution of all discontinued operations. All revenues and expenses of the discontinued operations were reclassified and presented in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive (loss) income as loss from discontinued operations, net of income taxes, after income from continuing operations, net of income taxes and before net loss. Similarly, all cash flows of the discontinued operations were reclassified and presented in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of cash flows as cash flows from discontinued operations.

(1) – Adjusted EBITDA is not a financial measure prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). See further discussion, including reconciliation to the most comparable GAAP measure, under the caption Non-GAAP Financial Measures below.
Subscription and support revenues increased 29.3% to $16.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014, compared to $12.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013. The increase includes approximately $1.7 million contributed by recently acquired service lines. The balance of the increase was related principally to growth in M2M subscriptions. During the three months ended June 30, 2014, we added 121,000 net new subscriptions, of which approximately 30% were acquired in the recent acquisition. Total subscriptions were 2.4 million as of June 30, 2014, compared to 2.0 million total subscriptions as of June 30, 2013. The increase in the number of subscriptions resulted in a period to period increase of approximately $3.7 million in revenue.
Subscription and support cost of revenues increased 10.3% to $6.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014 compared to $5.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013. The recently acquired service lines directly contributed to the majority of the increase. The balance of the increase in subscription and support cost of revenues are directly attributable to carrier fees related to overall subscription growth. Total subscription and support costs have increased at a slower pace than corresponding revenues as we add more customers and subscriptions with higher average revenue per unit to our customer base. Gross margin for subscription and support revenues increased to 61.3% for the three months ended June 30, 2014 from 54.6% for the three months ended June 30, 2013.
Sales of embedded devices and hardware increased 34.6% to $6.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014, compared to $4.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013. The increase was primarily related to greater overall hardware sales volume of $1.5 million compared to the prior year period. Product prices have remained consistent with the prior year.
Cost of sales for embedded devices and hardware increased 13.6% to $5.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014 compared to $4.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013. The increase is primarily related to the corresponding increase in sales volume of hardware. The increase also includes higher product costs associated with the devices containing newer technology compared to older technology products and a $0.1 million increase in the inventory reserve for obsolescence on older technology products. We continue to monitor the valuation of our technologically older inventory and may record additional increases in the reserve for obsolescence in the future. Recently acquired product lines contributed approximately $0.3 million in additional hardware costs.
Gross margin for embedded devices and hardware increased to 12.3% for the three months ended June 30, 2014 from a negative gross margin of 3.9% for the comparable period in the prior year. The increase in gross margin is due in part to increased gross profit on our embedded devices with next generation technology as we offer fewer promotional discounts and experience decreasing costs of the components and technology in the newer products compared to the same period in 2013. In addition, gross margin for the same period in 2013 was adversely affected due to a $0.5 million increase in the inventory reserve for obsolescence.
Total net sales increased 30.7% to $22.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014 from $17.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales increased 23.0% to $10.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014 from $6.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013. Total gross profit, as a percentage of total net sales, increased to 47.5% for the three-month period ended June 30, 2014, compared to 38.6% for the three-month period ended June 30, 2013.
Sales and marketing expenses increased 32.5% to $3.1 million for the three-month period ended June 30, 2014, compared to $2.3 million for the three-month period ended June 30, 2013. Sales and marketing expenses as a percentage of net sales increased nominally to 13.7% for the three months ended June 30, 2014 from 13.5% for the three months ended June 30, 2013. The increase is primarily due to new sales and marketing associates that were hired at the end of the prior year and, and more recently, in conjunction with the acquisition of new service and product lines. Additionally, sales and marketing costs for the three months ended June 30, 2014 include tradeshows and marketing activities that we did not incur in the comparable prior year period.
General and administrative expenses increased 10.3% to $4.2 million for the three-month period ended June 30, 2014, compared to $3.8 million for the three-month period ended June 30, 2013. As a percentage of net sales, general and administrative expenses decreased to 18.5% for the three months ended June 30, 2014 compared to 21.9% for the three months ended June 30, 2013. The increase in total expense is primarily related to recent acquisitions. General and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2014 include $0.9 million in professional fees and transaction costs associated with the Omnilink merger. Professional and other consulting fees were also unusually higher for the three months ended June 30, 2013, including a total of $0.7 million for (a) additional costs incurred in response to and remediation of the internal control deficiencies identified in the audit of our annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2012, (b) legal fees associated with potential new product development for one of our customers and (c) costs incurred in conjunction with development of our long-term strategic plan.
Engineering and development expenses increased 64.4% to $2.1 million for the three-month period ended June 30, 2014, compared to $1.3 million for the three-month period ended June 30, 2013. The increase is primarily due to the recent acquisitions. As a percentage of net sales, engineering and development expenses increased to 9.2% for the three months ended June 30, 2014 compared to 7.3% for the three months ended June 30, 2013.
Depreciation and amortization expense increased 28.6% to $1.6 million for the three-month period ended June 30, 2014, compared to $1.3 million for the three-month period ended June 30, 2013. The increase is attributable to recent acquisitions and investments in network infrastructure as well as additional internally developed software.
Interest expense increased to $0.2 million for the three-month period ended June 30, 2014, compared to $0.1 million for the three-month period ended June 30, 2013. The increase is due to the financing of the recent merger.
We recorded an income tax benefit of $0.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014, as compared to an income tax benefit of $2.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013, representing effective tax rates of 150.9% and 120.2%, respectively. For the three months ended June 30, 2014, the difference between our effective tax rate and the 34.0% federal statutory rate resulted primarily from (1) the income tax benefit generated by the capital loss from the disposal of BNI and our ability to utilize the capital loss to offset capital gains generated in both our current and recent tax years, (2) the portion of transaction costs incurred in the recent merger that are not deductible for income taxes and (3) state income taxes, including the tax effect of changes in effective state income tax rates resulting from the recent merger with Omnilink.
For the three months ended June 30, 2013, the difference between our effective tax rate and the federal statutory tax rate resulted primarily from our tax accounting method change allowing a one-time acceleration and catch-up of depreciation and amortization. The tax accounting method change related to our 2003 acquisition of our former joint venture partner’s interest in our Cellemetry LLC subsidiary. State tax accruals related to unrecognized tax benefits also contributed to the difference between the effective and federal statutory tax rates for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013.
The loss from discontinued operations, net of income taxes, was $0.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014, compared to $1.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013. The net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2013 included a $0.9 million impairment of goodwill and $0.6 million reserve for uncollectible accounts receivable. As previously discussed, the discontinued businesses are unrelated to our core M2M communication products and services. We completed the disposal and dissolution of all the assets and liabilities of discontinued operations on June 30, 2014. See Note C – Discontinued Operations in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Subscription and support revenues increased 23.1% to $30.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014, compared to $24.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013. The increase includes approximately $1.7 million contributed by recently acquired service lines. The balance of the increase was related primarily to growth in M2M subscriptions. During the six months ended June 30, 2014, we added 176,000 net new subscriptions, of which approximately 25% were acquired in the recent acquisition. Total subscriptions were 2.4 million as of June 30, 2014, compared to 2.0 million total subscriptions as of June 30, 2013. The increase in the number of subscriptions resulted in a period to period increase of $5.6 million in recurring revenues derived from subscriptions, the primary component of subscription and support revenues.
Subscription and support cost of revenues increased 6.7% to $11.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 compared to $10.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013. The recently acquired service lines directly contributed to the majority of the increase. The balance of the increase in subscription and support cost of revenues are directly attributable to carrier fees related to overall subscription growth. The subscription and support costs have increased at a slower pace than corresponding revenues as we add more customers and subscriptions with higher average revenue per unit to our customer base.
Gross margin for subscription and support revenues increased to 61.3% for the six months ended June 30, 2014 from 55.4% for the six months ended June 30, 2013.
Sales of embedded devices and hardware increased 43.1% to $13.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014, compared to $9.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013. The increase was primarily related to greater overall hardware sales volume compared to the prior period. Product prices have remained consistent with the prior year.
Cost of sales for embedded devices and hardware increased 20.9% to $11.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 compared to $9.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013. The increase is primarily related to the corresponding increase in sales volume of hardware. The increase also includes higher product costs associated with the devices containing newer technology compared to older technology products and a $0.2 million increase in the inventory reserve for obsolescence on older technology products. We continue to monitor the valuation of our technologically older inventory and may record additional increases in the reserve for obsolescence in the future.
Gross margin for embedded devices and hardware increased to 15.8% for the six months ended June 30, 2014 from 0.3% for the comparable period in the prior year. The increase in gross margin is due in part to increased gross profit on our embedded devices with next generation technology as we offer fewer promotional discounts and decreasing costs of the components and technology in the newer products compared to the same period in 2013. Similar to sales noted above, the recent acquisitions have also contributed to corresponding higher total costs, but have not had a material effect on total hardware margins. In addition, gross margin for the same period in 2013 was adversely affected due to a $0.5 million increase in the inventory reserve for obsolescence.
Total net sales increased 28.6% to $43.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 from $33.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales increased 17.8% to $20.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 from $13.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013. Total gross profit, as a percentage of total net sales, increased to 47.4% for the six-month period ended June 30, 2014, compared to 40.3% for the six-month period ended June 30, 2013.
Sales and marketing expenses increased 41.3% to $6.0 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2014, compared to $4.3 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2013. Sales and marketing expenses as a percentage of net sales increased to 13.9% for the six months ended June 30, 2014 from 12.7% for the six months ended June 30, 2013. The increase is primarily due to new sales and marketing associates that were hired at the end of the prior year and, and more recently, in conjunction with the acquisition of new service and product lines. Additionally, sales and marketing costs for the six months ended June 30, 2014 include tradeshows and marketing activities that we did not incur in the comparable prior year period.
General and administrative expenses increased 16.9% to $7.8 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2014, compared to $6.7 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2013. As a percentage of net sales, general and administrative expenses decreased to 17.9% for the six months ended June 30, 2014 compared to 19.7% for the six months ended June 30, 2013. The increase in total expense is primarily related to an increase in equity-based compensation of $0.4 million, approximately $0.3 million added from recent acquisitions, and $1.0 million in professional fees and transaction costs associated with the Omnilink merger. Professional and other consulting fees were also unusually higher for the six months ended June 30, 2013, including a total of $0.9 million for (a) additional costs incurred in response to and remediation of the internal control deficiencies identified in the audit of our annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2012, (b) legal fees associated with the potential new product development for one of our customers and (c) costs incurred in conjunction with our long term strategic plan.
Engineering and development expenses increased 45.7% to $3.4 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2014, compared to $2.3 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2013. The increase is primarily due to recent acquisitions, which added approximately $0.5 million in compensation and employee related expenses, and additional expenditures of $0.6 million for consultants and contractors as we continue developing new products, services and applications. As a percentage of net sales, engineering and development expenses increased to 7.8% for the six months ended June 30, 2014 compared to 6.9% for the six months ended June 30, 2013.
Depreciation and amortization expense increased 30.6% to $3.0 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2014, compared to $2.3 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2013. The increase of $0.3 million is attributable to recent acquisitions and investment in network infrastructure as well as additional internally developed software.
Interest expense increased to $0.3 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2014, compared to $0.1 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2013. The increase is due to financing of the recent merger.
Other income, net includes $1.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 for a pre-tax gain on the sale of a cost method investment in a privately-held business. The carrying value of our investment was $0.2 million and we sold it for proceeds of $1.3 million.
We recorded an income tax benefit of $0.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014, as compared to an income tax benefit of $2.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013, representing effective tax rates of (5.8%) and 120.9%, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2014, the difference between our effective tax rate and the 34.0% federal statutory rate resulted primarily from (1) the income tax benefit generated by the capital loss from the disposal of BNI and our ability to utilize the capital loss to offset capital gains generated in both our current and recent tax years, (2) the portion of transaction costs incurred in the recent merger that are not deductible for income taxes and (3) state income taxes, including the tax effect of changes in effective state income tax rates resulting from the recent merger with Omnilink.
For the six months ended June 30, 2013, the difference between our effective tax rate and the federal statutory tax rate resulted primarily from our tax accounting method change allowing a one-time acceleration and catch-up of depreciation and amortization. The tax accounting method change related to our 2003 acquisition of our former joint venture partner’s interest in our Cellemetry LLC subsidiary. State tax accruals related to unrecognized tax benefits also contributed to the difference between the effective and federal statutory tax rates for the six months ended June 30, 2013.
The loss from discontinued operations, net of income taxes, was $0.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014, as compared to $1.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013. The net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2013, included a $0.9 million impairment of goodwill and $0.6 million reserve for uncollectible accounts receivable. As previously discussed, the discontinued businesses are unrelated to our core M2M communication products and services. We completed the disposal and dissolution of all the assets and liabilities of discontinued operations on June 30, 2014. See Note C – Discontinued Operations in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.
Segment Information
As a result of the decision to exit non-core businesses and their subsequent reclassification to discontinued operations, we have one reportable segment.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to providing financial measurements based on accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP), we have provided EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA per diluted share, financial measures that are not prepared in accordance with GAAP (non-GAAP). The most directly comparable GAAP equivalent to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA is (loss) income from continuing operations, net of income taxes. The most directly comparable GAAP equivalent to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA per diluted share is diluted earnings per share from continuing operations.
| ● | EBITDA is (loss) income from continuing operations, net of income taxes, plus depreciation and amortization, interest and other non-operating expenses and income tax expense. Any other non-operating income, net of income taxes is subtracted from (loss) income from continuing operations, net of income taxes. |
| ● | Adjusted EBITDA is EBITDA plus non-cash equity-based compensation and infrequent or unusual items eliminated as further described below. |
| ● | EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA per diluted share is EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA divided by weighted average diluted shares outstanding. |
Reconciliations of our non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable financial measure are provided below. We believe that presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures provides useful information to investors regarding our results of operations.
We believe that excluding depreciation and amortization of property, equipment and intangible assets to calculate EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA provides supplemental information and an alternative presentation that is useful to investors’ understanding of our core operating results and trends. Not only are depreciation and amortization expenses based on historical costs of assets that may have little bearing on present or future replacement costs, but also they are based on our estimates of remaining useful lives.
Similarly, we believe that excluding the effects of equity-based compensation from non-GAAP financial measures provides supplemental information and an alternative presentation useful to investors’ understanding of our core operating results and trends. Investors have indicated that they consider financial measures of our results of operations excluding equity-based compensation as important supplemental information useful to their understanding of our historical results and estimating our future results.
We also believe that, in excluding the effects of equity-based compensation, our non-GAAP financial measures provide investors with transparency into what management uses to measure and forecast our results of operations, to compare on a consistent basis our results of operations for the current period to that of prior periods and to compare our results of operations on a more consistent basis against that of other companies, in making financial and operating decisions and to establish certain management compensation.
Equity-based compensation is an important part of total compensation, especially from the perspective of employees. We believe, however, that supplementing GAAP (loss) income from continuing operations by providing Adjusted EBITDA, excluding the effect of equity-based compensation in all periods, is useful to investors because it enables additional and more meaningful period-to-period comparisons.
Adjusted EBITDA also excludes infrequent or unusual items. For the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2014, infrequent or unusual items include merger related costs and gain on sale of a cost-method investment while the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 include temporarily higher carrier fees and acquisition-related costs. We believe that these are costs that we will not incur on a regular basis, and consequently, we do not consider these items components of ongoing operations.
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not measures of liquidity calculated in accordance with GAAP, and should be viewed as a supplement to – not a substitute for – results of operations presented on the basis of GAAP. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not purport to represent cash flow provided by operating activities as defined by GAAP. Furthermore, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not necessarily comparable to similarly-titled measures reported by other companies.
We believe EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA per diluted share are useful to and used by investors and other users of the financial statements in evaluating our operating performance because it provides them with an additional tool to compare business performance across periods.
We believe that:
| ● | EBITDA is widely used by investors to measure a company’s operating performance without regard to items such as interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, which can vary substantially from company-to-company depending upon accounting methods and book value of assets, capital structure and the method by which assets were acquired; and |
| ● | Investors commonly adjust EBITDA information to eliminate the effect of equity-based compensation and other unusual or infrequently occurring items which vary widely from company-to-company and impair comparability. |
We use EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA per diluted share:
| ● | as a measure of operating performance to assist in comparing performance from period-to-period on a consistent basis |
| ● | as a measure for planning and forecasting overall expectations and for evaluating actual results against such expectations; and |
| ● | in communications with the board of directors, analysts and investors concerning our financial performance. |
Adjusted EBITDA is also a component of our loan covenant calculations. Although we believe, for the foregoing reasons, that the presentation of non-GAAP financial measures provides useful supplemental information to investors regarding our results of operations, the non-GAAP financial measures should only be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, any measure of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.
Use of non-GAAP financial measures is subject to inherent limitations because they do not include all the expenses that must be included under GAAP and because they involve the exercise of judgment of which charges should properly be excluded from the non-GAAP financial measure. Management accounts for these limitations by not relying exclusively on non-GAAP financial measures, but only using such information to supplement GAAP financial measures. The non-GAAP financial measures may not be the same non-GAAP measures, and may not be calculated in the same manner, as those used by other companies.
The following table reconciles the specific items excluded from GAAP in the calculation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA for the periods indicated below (in thousands, except per share amounts):

For the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2014, infrequent or unusual items include merger related costs while the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 include temporarily higher carrier fees and acquisition-related costs.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We had working capital of $21.2 million as of June 30, 2014 and $34.9 million as of December 31, 2013. We had cash and cash equivalents of $16.4 million and $25.6 million, as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. At June 30, 2014, we had available credit of $5.0 million.
Net cash provided by operating activities of continuing operations for the six-month period ended June 30, 2014 was $5.2 million. The primary non-cash adjustments to net income for the six-month period ended June 30, 2014 were $3.2 million for depreciation and amortization and $1.1 million for equity-based compensation expense less $1.1 million pre-tax gain on the sale of a cost method investment. The changes in operating assets and liabilities included a $1.3 million decrease in accounts and financing receivables and a $0.6 million decrease in inventory, less $1.8 million decrease in accounts payable. The changes in working capital as of June 30, 2014 compared to December 31, 2013 resulted in days sales outstanding in accounts receivable decreasing to 43 from 44, days of inventory on hand decreasing to 118 from 119, and days outstanding in accounts payable decreasing to 70 from 78.
Net cash used in investing activities of continuing operations for the six-month period ended June 30, 2014 was $38.5 million, which includes $37.1 million in net cash paid for acquisitions, discussed further below. Capital expenditures for tangible assets and purchases and capitalization of internally developed software were $1.6 million.
Net cash provided by financing activities of continuing operations for the six-month period ended June 30, 2014 was $24.0 million, primarily from proceeds received from a note payable to finance the recent merger.
Net cash provided by discontinued operations for the six month period ended June 30, 2014 was $0.1 million. Cash flows associated with the revenue-producing and cost-generating activities of the discontinued operations have been eliminated as of June 30, 2014.
On May 5, 2014, we closed on the merger with Omnilink. The purchase price was $37.3 million in cash (subject to the adjustments set forth in the merger agreement) and accrued expenses of $0.2 million. The transaction was funded through cash-on-hand and a $25.0 million term loan as part of an amended and restated credit facility with Silicon Valley Bank. At June 30, 2014, we had $5.0 million of credit available on our Credit Facility and $24.4 million outstanding on our term loan. We were in compliance with all financial covenants of our credit agreement at June 30, 2014 and there were no letters of credit outstanding. As of the date of the filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, no further borrowings had been made under the Credit Facility.
We believe that our existing cash balance together with the anticipated amended and restated credit facility and expected cash generated from operations will be sufficient to meet our operating requirements through at least the next twelve months. This belief could be affected by future results that differ from expectations or a material adverse change in our operating business.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of June 30, 2014, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements, as defined in Item 303(a)(4)(ii) of SEC Regulation S-K.
Critical Accounting Policies
There have been no material changes in our critical accounting policies, estimates and judgments during the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 compared to the disclosures in Part II, Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.
Item 3. | Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risks. |
The market risk in our financial instruments represents the potential loss arising from adverse changes in financial rates. We are exposed to market risk in the area of interest rates. These exposures are directly related to our normal funding and investing activities. We are subject to interest rate market risk in connection with of our long-term debt. Our principal interest rate exposure relates to outstanding amounts under our $25.0 million term loan. Our term loan provides for variable interest rates determined by reference to the prime rate or LIBOR rate. A one-eighth percent increase or decrease in assumed interest rates for the $25.0 million term loan for the one year period following its inception would result in a corresponding increase or decrease in interest expense of $30,000.
We also hold cash balances in accounts with commercial banks in the United States and foreign countries. These cash balances represent operating balances only and are invested in short-term time deposits of the local bank. Such operating cash balances held at banks outside the United States are denominated in the local currency and are minor.
Foreign Currency
The assets and liabilities of our foreign operations are translated into U.S. dollars at current exchange rates, and revenues and expenses are translated at the ending exchange rate from the prior period which materially approximates the average exchange rates for each period. Resulting translation adjustments are reflected as other comprehensive (loss) income within shareholders’ equity. Transaction gains and losses that arise from exchange rate fluctuations on transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency are included in the results of operations as incurred. Except for transactions with customers and vendors in Canada, substantially all other transactions are denominated in U.S. dollars. Foreign operations were not significant to us for the quarter ended June 30, 2014.
Item 4. | Controls and Procedures. |
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Based on our management’s evaluation, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as of the end of the period covered by this report, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
During the quarter ended June 30, 2014, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. We acquired Omnilink on May 5, 2014 and, as a result, we continue to integrate the processes and controls relating to Omnilink into our existing system of internal control over financial reporting. Specific controls for Omnilink are also in place. We expect to complete the integration of Omnilink’s business into our control processes during the calendar year ending December 31, 2015.
PART II—OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. | Legal Proceedings. |
We currently are not involved in any pending material litigation.
For information regarding factors that could affect our results of operations, financial condition and liquidity, see the risk factors discussion set forth in Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013, as previously filed with the SEC, and the information under “Forward-Looking Statements” included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. At June 30, 2014, there have been no material changes to the risk factors set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 except for the following:
We face risks and uncertainties related to our ability to successfully integrate the operations, products and employees of Omnilink, including the effect of the merger on relationships with customers, vendors and lenders.
Our recent acquisition of the outstanding shares of Omnilink will require us to integrate their operations, products and employees with ours. Integration can be both difficult and demanding from an operational, managerial, cultural, and human resources perspective. The integration may also require us to make unplanned capital expenditures. The failure to manage the integration effectively could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and operating results. Omnilink may also fail to provide the benefits we anticipate which could also negatively impact our business.
