UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2017

NOTE A — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Nature of Business

Numerex Corp. (NASDAQ: NMRX) is a holding company incorporated in Pennsylvania (the “Company”), and through its subsidiaries, is a single source, leading provider of managed enterprise solutions enabling the Internet of Things (IoT). An IoT solution is generally viewed as a combination of devices, software and services that operate with little or no human interaction. Our managed IoT solutions are simple, innovative, scalable and secure. Our solutions incorporate each of the four key IoT building blocks — Device, Network, Application and Platform. We provide our technology and service solutions through our integrated IoT horizontal platforms, which are generally sold on a subscription basis. Foreign operations were not significant to us for the three months ended March 31, 2017 or 2016.

Basis of Presentation

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 March 31, 2017 and our operating results and cash flows for the interim periods presented. The accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2016 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, 2016 which includes information and disclosures not included in this quarterly report.

Estimates and Assumptions

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 months ended March 31, 2017 may not be indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2017 or any future periods.

Liquidity

The Company incurred an operating loss totaling $2.4 million and cash provided by operations was $0.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017. The Company incurred an operating loss totaling $22.8 million and cash used in operations totaled $0.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2016. As of March 31, 2017, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $52.3 million, and cash and cash equivalents of $8.9 million. The Company’s cash flow requirements during the fiscal year 2016 and to date in 2017 were financed by cash on hand and cash generated by operations. The Company had total long term debt, including current portion, of $15.9 million as of March 31, 2017. The Company’s ability to continue in business is dependent on its ability to continue to generate operating cash flows, to maintain sufficient cash on hand, to raise additional capital, and an ability to control expenditures. Management believes that the Company will maintain sufficient liquidity through at least March 2018. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from this uncertainty.

Remaining useful lives in the preceding table were calculated on a weighted average basis as of March 31, 2017. We did not incur significant costs to renew or extend the term of acquired intangible assets during the three months ended March 31, 2017.

Amortization expense related to intangible assets was $1.2 million and $1.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Amortization expense recorded in cost of subscription revenues in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss was $0.5 million and $0.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017, and 2016, respectively. Additionally, we have capitalized approximately $0.7 million and $0.3 million of internally generated software development costs for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

NOTE E — INCOME TAXES

We calculate our interim income tax provision in accordance with the accounting guidance for income taxes in interim periods. At the end of each interim period, we make our best estimate of the annual expected effective tax rate and apply that rate to our ordinary year-to-date income or loss. In addition, we calculate a year-to-date adjustment to increase or decrease our income tax provision to take into account our current expected effective tax rate. The tax or benefit related to significant, unusual, or extraordinary items that will be separately reported or reported net of their related tax effect are individually computed and recognized in the interim period in which those items occur.

In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, we consider whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. We consider projections of future taxable income, tax planning strategies and the reversal of temporary differences in making this assessment.

During 2015, we determined that we would not meet the criteria of “more likely than not” that our federal and state net operating losses and certain other deferred tax assets would be recoverable. This determination was based on our assessment of both positive and negative evidence regarding realization of our deferred tax assets, in particular, the strong negative evidence associated with our cumulative loss over the past three years. Accordingly, we recorded a valuation allowance against these items. The deferred tax assets consist of federal net operating losses, state net operating losses, tax credits, and other deferred tax assets, most of which expire between 2017 and 2036. We will maintain the valuation allowance against the net deferred tax assets until sufficient positive evidence outweighs any negative evidence to support reversal. Income tax expense recorded in the future will be reduced or increased to the extent of offsetting decreases or increases to the valuation allowance.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

NUMEREX CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES

UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2017

As a result of recording a valuation allowance, we recognized deferred tax expense of less than $0.1 million, representing an effective tax rate of (1.9%), for the three months ended March 31, 2017. The deferred tax expense recognized on a net loss before income taxes, and the difference in the effective tax rate from the federal statutory rate, is due primarily to the book and tax basis and accounting differences for certain long and indefinite lived intangible assets. We have also recognized a provision for income tax expense for certain state income taxes that cannot utilize offsetting net operating losses. Income tax expense recorded in the future will be reduced or increased to the extent of offsetting decreases or increases to the valuation allowance.

We file U.S., state and foreign income tax returns in jurisdictions with varying statutes of limitation. The 2012 through 2016 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.

NOTE F — DEBT

Debt consisted of the following (dollars in thousands):

	March 31, 2017			December 31, 2016
Note payable to Crystal Financial LLC, with interest at LIBOR plus margin		$	12,000		$	17,000

Less current portion of long-term debt			(3,912)			(1,275)
Noncurrent portion of long-term debt		$	11,946		$	14,885

Loan Agreement

On March 9, 2016, we and certain of our subsidiaries entered into a term loan agreement with Crystal Financial LLC as Term Agent (“Crystal”), and the term lenders party thereto (the “Crystal Loan Agreement”) pursuant to which the term lenders made a term loan to us in the amount of $17.0 million. The net proceeds from the term loan (after payment of the fees and expenses of the Term Agent), along with $2.9 million of cash on hand, were used to repay the $19.4 million outstanding debt under the Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) Loan Agreement and pay related transaction fees. We recorded a charge of $0.3 million to other income, net for unamortized deferred financing costs related to the SVB Loan Agreement during the three months ended March 31, 2016.

The maturity date of the term loan is March 9, 2020. We are required to make regular quarterly principal payments of $0.6 million beginning September 1, 2017 with the balance due on the maturity date if not otherwise repaid earlier by way of voluntary prepayments or upon the occurrence of certain Prepayment Events or Excess Cash Flow (as defined in the Crystal Loan Agreement), or as a result of acceleration of the loan as a result of an event of default. Prepayments of the loan are subject to a prepayment penalty of 2% of the amount prepaid if the prepayment occurs on or after the first anniversary of the closing date but prior to the second anniversary date of the closing date. There is no prepayment penalty for prepayments that occur on or after the second anniversary of the closing date. The interest rate payable on the outstanding loan amount is determined by reference to LIBOR plus a margin established in the Crystal Loan Agreement.

Our obligations under the Crystal Loan Agreement are secured by a first priority security interest in substantially all of our assets and the assets of our subsidiaries. In addition, we are required to meet certain financial and other restrictive covenants customary with this type of facility, including maintaining a

MARCH 31, 2017

minimum adjusted EBITDA, minimum consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio, maximum consolidated total net leverage, maximum subscriber churn, and minimum liquidity, all of which are defined in the Crystal Loan Agreement. We are also prohibited from incurring indebtedness, disposing of or permitting liens on our assets and making restricted payments, including cash dividends on shares of our common stock, except as expressly permitted under the Crystal Loan Agreement. The agreement contains customary events of default. If a default occurs and is not cured within the applicable cure period or is not waived, any outstanding obligations under the agreement may be accelerated. As of March 31, 2017, we were in compliance with all covenants.

On July 29, 2016, and November 3, 2016, we entered into amendments to the Crystal Loan Agreement to modify the covenant relating to the Maximum Subscriber Churn and amend the definition of Adjusted EBITDA. On May 3, 2017, we entered into an amendment to the Crystal Loan Agreement to amend the definition of Adjusted EBITDA and changed the date from June 1, 2017 to June 7, 2017 with respect to the $2.0 million prepayment milestone and the retention of an investment banker for purposes of a refinancing transaction.

Senior Subordinated Promissory Note

On March 31, 2017, the Kenneth Rainin Foundation, a California corporation, and the Company entered into a Senior Subordinated Promissory Note in the amount of $5 million, with a maturity date of April 1, 2018, and an annual interest rate of 12%, which was used to pay down a portion of the outstanding debt with Crystal.

The note included a warrant to Kenneth Rainin Foundation to purchase 125,000 shares of our common stock at a warrant price of $0.01 per share. The warrant has a fair value of $0.6 million, has been recorded as deferred financing costs, and will be amortized over the term of the loan. Brian Igoe, a director of the Company, is the Chief Investment Officer of the Kenneth Rainin Foundation.

Crystal Financial LLC Amendment and Waiver

On March 31, 2017, we entered into an amendment to the Crystal Loan Agreement to modify the covenants related to minimum adjusted EBITDA, minimum fixed charge coverage ratio, maximum net leverage, and maximum subscriber churn. Pursuant to the terms of the amendment we are required to prepay $2.0 million of principal on June 1, 2017, unless we have entered into an agreement providing for the sale of all or substantially all the assets of the Company or the equity interests of the Company. In addition the amendment further provides that, by June 1, 2017, we must enter into a binding commitment letter to refinance our obligations under the Crystal Loan Agreement, or engage an investment banker reasonably acceptable to the Crystal to advise and assist us in entering into a sale or refinancing transaction.

As a result of the pay down of $5.0 million of principal related to the Senior Subordinated Promissory Note with the Kenneth Rainin Foundation, we recorded a $0.2 million loss on partial extinguishment of the Crystal Loan Agreement, which is recorded as a separate line item on the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss for the three month period ended March 31, 2017.

NOTE G — NET LOSS PER SHARE

Basic (loss) earnings per share attributable to common shareholders is based on the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding excluding the dilutive impact of common stock equivalents. Diluted (loss) earnings per share include the effect of all potentially dilutive securities on earnings per share. The dilutive effect of outstanding equity-based compensation awards is computed using the treasury stock method. The computation of diluted earnings per shares does not assume exercise of securities that would have an anti-dilutive effect on earnings. Diluted (loss) earnings per share is not presented separately because there are no adjustments to the numerator in calculating dilutive net loss per share and all potentially dilutive common stock equivalents would be antidilutive. The following table presents a reconciliation of the shares used in the calculation of basic and dilutive (loss) earnings per share and anti-dilutive equity based compensation awards (in thousands):

NOTE I — RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In January 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued guidance simplifying the test for goodwill impairment. The guidance eliminates step two from the goodwill impairment test and instead requires an entity to perform its annual, or interim, goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. The entity should recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value, not to exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to the reporting unit. The updated guidance requires a prospective adoption, with early adoption permitted. The guidance is effective for the Company beginning in 2020. The Company is in the process of evaluating the effects of the provisions of this guidance on our financial statements.

In January 2017, the FASB issued guidance to assist entities in evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses. The updated guidance requires a prospective adoption. Early adoption is permitted. This update will be effective for the Company beginning in 2018. The Company does not expect the provisions of this guidance to have a material impact on our financial statements.

In November 2016, the FASB issued guidance impacting restricted cash presentation on the statement of cash flows. The guidance requires that a statement of cash flows explain the change during the period of cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. Amounts generally described as restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents should be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows. This standard becomes effective for the Company during the first quarter of 2018 and will be applied using a retrospective approach for each period presented. The Company does not expect the provisions of this guidance to have a material impact on our financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued guidance that requires lessees to recognize most leases as assets and liabilities on the balance sheet. Qualitative and quantitative disclosures will be enhanced to better understand the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. The guidance is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2018. The updated standard mandates a modified retrospective transition method with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the effect that the updated standard will have on our financial statements.

In May 2014, the FASB issued guidance which amends the existing accounting standards for revenue recognition. In August 2015, the FASB issued additional guidance which delays the effective date by one year. The FASB also agreed to allow entities to choose to adopt the standard as of the original effective date. In March 2016, the FASB issued guidance which clarifies the implementation guidance on principal versus agent considerations. The guidance includes indicators to assist an entity in determining whether it

controls a specified good or service before it is transferred to the customers. We currently anticipate adopting the new standard effective January 1, 2018. The new standard also permits two methods of adoption: retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented (full retrospective method), or retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initially applying the guidance recognized at the date of initial application (the modified retrospective method). We currently anticipate adopting the standard using the modified retrospective method. We are concluding the assessment phase of implementing this guidance. We have evaluated each of the five steps in the new revenue recognition model, which are as follows: 1) Identify the contract with the customer; 2) Identify the performance obligations in the contract; 3) Determine the transaction price; 4) Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations; and 5) Recognize revenue when (or as) performance obligations are satisfied. Our preliminary conclusion is that the determination of what constitutes a contract with our customers (step 1), our performance obligations under the contract (step 2), and the determination and allocation of the transaction price (steps 3 and 4) and recognizing revenue when performance obligations are satisfied (step 5) under the new revenue recognition model will not result in material changes in comparison to our current revenue recognition for our contracts with customers entered into in the normal course of operations. However, we have not yet finalized our analysis.

Effective January 1, 2017, the Company adopted guidance which simplifies the measurement of inventory. The guidance changed the measurement principle for inventory from the lower of cost or market to lower of cost and net realizable value and eliminates the requirement to consider replacement cost or net realizable value less an approximately normal profit margin when measuring inventory. The provisions of this standard were adopted on a prospective basis and adoption of this standard did not have an impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

NOTE J — SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On April 12, 2017, we entered into an agreement to sublease the Company’s Dallas office space subject to the consent of the landlord.

On May 3, 2017, we entered into an amendment to the Crystal Loan Agreement to amend the definition of Adjusted EBITDA and changed the date from June 1, 2017 to June 7, 2017 with respect to the $2.0 million prepayment milestone and the retention of an investment banker for purposes of a refinancing transaction, as documented in Note F.

Forward Looking Statements

This document contains, and other statements may contain, forward-looking statements with respect to Numerex future financial or business performance, conditions or strategies and other financial and business matters, including expectations regarding growth trends and activities. Forward-looking statements are typically identified by words or phrases such as “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “estimate,” “assume,” “strategy,” “plan,” “outlook,” “outcome,” “continue,” “remain,” “trend,” and variations of such words and similar expressions, or future or conditional verbs such as “will,” “would,” “should,” “could,” “may,” or similar expressions. Numerex cautions that these forward-looking statements are subject to numerous assumptions, risks and uncertainties, which change over time. These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this filing, and Numerex assumes no duty to update forward-looking statements. Actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements and future results could differ materially from historical performance.

The following factors, among others, could cause actual results to differ materially from forward-looking statements or historical performance: our inability to refinance all or a portion of our indebtedness before maturity or to seek waivers of or amendments to our contractual obligations for payment; our inability to reposition our platform to capture greater recurring subscription revenues; the risks that a substantial portion of revenues derived from contracts may be terminated at any time; the risks that our strategic suppliers materially change or disrupt the flow of products or services; variations in quarterly operating results; delays in the development, introduction, integration and marketing of new products and services; customer acceptance of services; economic conditions resulting in decreased demand for our products and services; the risk that our strategic alliances, partnerships and/or wireless network operators will not yield substantial revenues; changes in financial and capital markets, and the inability to raise growth capital; the inability to attain revenue and earnings growth; changes in interest rates; inflation; the introduction, withdrawal, success and timing of business initiatives and strategies; competitive conditions; the inability to realize revenue enhancements; disruption in key supplier relationships and/or related services; and extent and timing of technological changes.

Overview

As used herein, except as otherwise indicated by context, references to “we,” “us,” “our,” or “Numerex” refers to Numerex Corp. and subsidiaries.

The following Management’s Discussion and Analysis is intended to help the reader understand our results of operations and financial condition. This discussion and analysis is provided as a supplement to, and should be read in conjunction with, our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2017.

Numerex Corp. (“Numerex,” the “Company” or “we”) is headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia, and is a corporation organized under the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. We are a single source, leading provider of managed enterprise solutions enabling the Internet of Things (IoT). We empower enterprise operations with world-class, managed IoT solutions that are simple, innovative, scalable and secure.

During the quarter ended March 31, 2017, we had revenues of $16.4 million, and a net loss of $4.0 million; compared with revenues and a net loss of $18.1 million and $2.3 million, respectively, for the quarter ended March 31, 2016.

Our core strategy is to generate long term and sustainable recurring revenue through a portfolio of managed, end-to-end IoT solutions which are generally sold on a subscription basis and built on our horizontal, integrated platform. Our solutions incorporate the key IoT building blocks — Device, Network, Application and Platform. Our solutions also simplify the implementation and improve the speed to market for enterprise users in select, targeted verticals in the asset monitoring and optimization, asset tracking, and safety and security markets.

Our strategy requires significant capital investment to develop and enhance our use of technology and to maintain our leadership position and competitive advantage in the markets we serve.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Subscription and support revenue is recognized monthly as services are provided and sales of embedded devices and hardware are recognized when title passes. Other upfront payment revenue is deferred and amortized on a straight line basis.

Due to fluctuations of the commencement of new contracts and renewal of existing contracts, we expect variability of sequential quarterly trends in revenues, margins and cash flows. Other factors contributing to sequential quarterly trends include usage, rate changes, and re-pricing of contract renewals and technology changes.

Historically, our revenues and expenses in the first quarter have been modestly affected by slowing of customer purchase activities during the holidays. As a result, historical quarterly fluctuations may not be indicative of future operating results.

As part of our effort to build and enhance our core business, we conduct ongoing business strategy reviews. During our reviews, we consider opportunities for growth in existing and new markets that may involve growth derived from both existing operations as well as from future acquisitions, if any. To the extent existing business lines and service offerings are not considered to be compatible with delivery of our core business services or with meeting our financial objectives, we may exit non-core lines of business or stop offering these services in part or in whole.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

(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.

Total revenue decreased $1.7 million, or 9.2%, for the three months ended March 31, 2017 to $16.4 million from $18.1 million for the same period in 2016. The decrease in total revenue is primarily related to the decrease in subscription and support revenue, which is discussed below.

Subscription and support revenues decreased $1.5 million, or 10.1%, to $13.5 million from $15.0 million in 2016. The decrease is driven by 2G disconnects associated with the AT&T 2G network sunset that occurred on December 31, 2016.

Total cost of revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2017 decreased $0.3 million, or 3.7%, to $8.5 million compared to $8.8 million for the same period in 2016. Comprising that decrease, the cost of revenue for subscription and support services decreased $0.2 million, or 4.2%, to $5.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017 compared to $5.7 million for the same period in 2016. Cost of revenue for embedded devices and hardware decreased $0.1 million, or 2.7% to $3.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017 compared to $3.1 million for the same period in 2016.

Total gross profit for the period ended March 31, 2017 decreased $1.3 million, or 14.5% to $7.9 million compared to $9.2 million for the same period in 2016 for the reasons stated above.

Sales and marketing expense increased $0.2 million, or 6.7%, for the three months ended March 31, 2017 to $3.1 million compared to $2.9 million for the same period in 2016. The increase is primarily attributable to an increase in promotional activities during the quarter.

General and administrative expense decreased $1.2 million, or 28.7%, to $2.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017, compared to $4.1 million for the same period in 2016. The increase is driven primarily by reduced general and administrative salary cost resulting from a reduction in headcount.

Engineering and development expenses remained consistent at $2.2 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2017 compared to March 31, 2016.

Depreciation and amortization expense decreased $0.2 million, or 8.1% to $1.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017, compared to $1.7 million for the same period in 2016.

Restructuring charges were $0.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017, compared to $0 for the same period in 2016. The increase is due primarily to severance charges.

Other expense (income), net was $0.7 million in expense for the three months ended March 31, 2017, due to financing charges related to our debt, compared to ($0.1) million in interest income for the same period in 2016.

We recorded tax expense of $0.1 million for both the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016. The effective tax rates were (1.9%) and (2.8%) for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. For both periods, the difference in the effective tax rate compared to the federal statutory rate, and the reason we recorded deferred income tax expense while generating a net loss before income taxes, are due primarily to the book and tax basis and accounting difference for certain long and indefinite lived assets. We have also recognized a provision for income tax expense for certain state income taxes that cannot utilize offsetting net operating losses.

Segment Information

We have one reportable segment, providing interactive and on-demand Machine to Machine (M2M) enterprise solutions enabling the Internet of Things (IoT).

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization expenses (EBITDA) and Adjusted EBITDA, which are presented below, are non-GAAP measures and do not purport to be alternatives to

TABLE OF CONTENTS

operating income as a measure of operating performance. We believe EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA 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, income tax, and depreciation and amortization expenses, 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 and Adjusted EBITDA:

•

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.

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.

EBITDA is calculated by adding depreciation and amortization expense, impairment of non-current assets, interest expense, other net non-operating expense and income tax expense and subtracting other net non-operating income and income tax benefit to net (loss) income. Adjusted EBITDA is calculated by excluding the effect of equity-based compensation and additional non-cash and other charges from the calculation of EBITDA. Management believes that this measure provides additional relevant and useful information to investors and other users of our financial data, including our lender, in evaluating the effectiveness of our operations and underlying business trends in a manner that is consistent with management’s evaluation of business performance.

We believe that excluding depreciation and amortization expenses of property, equipment and intangible assets to calculate EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA provides supplemental information and an alternative presentation that is useful to our lender and 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.

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.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Equity-based compensation is an important part of total compensation, especially from the perspective of employees. We believe, however, that supplementing GAAP income from continuing operations by providing income from continuing operations, 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.

Non-cash and other items include restructuring, recruiting fees, severance, costs related to an internal ERP systems integration upgrade, a network systems evaluation, acquisition related costs, and other costs, such as legal and accounting costs associated with debt refinancing, audit consent fees, rework and setup costs, and costs related to the 2G shutdown. We believe these costs are unusual costs that we do not expect to recur on a regular basis, and consequently, we do not consider these charges as a component 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.

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):

	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2017			2016
Net loss		$	(4,024)		$	(2,326)
Depreciation and amortization expense			1,973			1,965
Interest expense and other non-operating expense (income), net			1,579			514
Income tax expense			84			64
EBITDA (non-GAAP)			(388)			217
Equity-based compensation expense			231			621
Non-cash and other items			693			20
Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP)		$	536		$	858
Net loss per diluted share (GAAP)		$	(0.21)		$	(0.12)
Weighted average shares outstanding used in computing diluted per share amounts			19,524			19,377

As noted above, non-cash and other items for the quarter ended March 31, 2017 include restructuring and severance costs of $0.4 million, costs related to an internal ERP systems integration upgrade, a network systems evaluation, and acquisition related costs totaling $0.1 million, and other non-one-time costs, such as legal and accounting costs associated with debt refinancing, one time audit consent fees, one-time rework and setup costs, one-time costs related to the 2G shutdown totaling $0.2 million. Non-cash and other items for the quarter ended March 31, 2016 are comprised of recruiting costs. We believe these costs are unusual costs that we do not expect to recur on a regular basis, and consequently, we do not consider these charges as a component of ongoing operations.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We use the net cash generated from our operations to fund new product development, upgrades to our technology and to invest in new businesses. We believe that our sources of funds, principally from operations and, to the extent necessary, from external financing arrangements, are sufficient to meet ongoing operations and investing requirements through at least March 2018.

We had working capital of $3.6 million as of March 31, 2017, compared to $8.6 million as of December 31, 2016. We had cash balances of $8.9 million and $9.5 million as of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. The Company does not have any additional borrowing capacity under its loan agreement with Crystal.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

As previously reported, on March 31, 2017, we entered into the Third Amendment to Term Loan Agreement and Limited Waiver (“Third Amendment”) with Crystal. Pursuant to this amendment, Crystal agreed to waive certain specified events of default, including events of default arising out of our failure to meet financial covenants with respect to minimum adjusted EBITDA, minimum fixed charge ratio, maximum total net coverage, and maximum subscriber churn, as well as events of default arising out of our failure to notify Crystal of certain events as required and to update certain schedules provided to Crystal. The Third Amendment also included modifications to the financial covenants under the Term Loan Agreement, effective as of the date of the amendment.

Pursuant to the Third Amendment, we were required to prepay $5,000,000 of the principal outstanding under the Term Loan Agreement, and we agreed to pay Crystal an additional $2,000,000 of principal on June 1, 2017 unless we have entered into a sale transaction prior to that date. In connection with the Third Amendment, we agreed to pay to Crystal an amendment fee of $200,000, $100,000 of which was paid on the date of the amendment and the remainder of which is payable on June 1, 2017 unless we complete a sale or refinancing transaction before that date. The Third Amendment further provides that, by June 1, 2017, we must either enter into a sale agreement or a binding commitment letter to refinance our obligations under the Term Loan Agreement, or engage an investment banker reasonably acceptable to Crystal to advise and assist us in entering into a sale or refinancing transaction. There can be no assurance that we will refinance our indebtedness on favorable terms or at all.

Net cash provided by operating activities for the three-month period ended March 31, 2017 was $0.3 million and net cash used in operations was $0.8 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2016.

Net cash used in investing activities for the three-month period ended March 31, 2017 was $0.8 million, representing expenditures of $0.2 million for tangible assets and $0.6 million for software and capitalization of internally developed software, compared to $1.3 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2016.

Net cash used in financing activities for the three-month period ended March 31, 2017 was $0.2 million, primarily for payments of taxes on equity based awards and payments of principal on capital leases. Net cash used in financing activities was $2.9 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2016.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of March 31, 2017, 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 months ended March 31, 2017, compared to the disclosures in Part II, Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.

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 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. We held $0.3 million in foreign bank accounts as of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.

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 March 31, 2017.

Interest Rate Risk

We are exposed to changes in interest rates on our long term debt that carries variable rate interest. The impact of a 100 basis point change in interest rates would result in a change in annual interest expense of $0.2 million.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as such term is defined in the Securities Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f). Our internal control system is designed to provide reasonable assurance to our management and the Board of Directors regarding the preparation and fair presentation of published financial statements. All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance as to the reliability of financial statement preparation and presentation. Our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2017. In making this assessment, our management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) in Internal Control — Integrated Framework, issued in 2013. Based on this assessment, management concludes that, as of March 31, 2017, our internal control over financial reporting is effective based on those criteria.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

During the quarter ended March 31, 2017, there were no significant changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
