NOTE 2 LIQUIDITY As reflected in the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements, the Company had a net loss of $6,321,517 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. During the same period, net cash used in operating activities was $4,223,911. The working capital surplus and accumulated deficit as of September 30, 2020 were $2,246,887 and $39,062,232 respectively. In previous financial reports, the Company had raised substantial doubt about continuing as a going concern. This was principally due to a lack of working capital prior to an underwritten offering which was completed during the first quarter of 2020 (the 2020 Offering).
Upon completion of the 2020 Offering, management raised sufficient working capital to meet its needs for the next 12-months without the need to raise further capital. Since the advent of the Covid-19 pandemic, the Company has experienced a significant slowdown in closing new projects due to cautious actions by current and potential clients. We continue to be successful in identifying new business opportunities and are focused on re-establishing a backlog of projects. Most importantly, the Companys success in increasing its working capital surplus after receiving proceeds from the 2020 Offering of more than $8.1 million has given us the runway required to maintain our business strategy overall. In addition, the Company was successful in securing a loan of $1.4M during the second quarter from the Small Business Administration via the PPP/CARES Act program which further bolstered the Companys cash reserves. Management has been and continues to take actions including, but not limited to, elimination of certain costs that did not contribute to short term revenue, re-aligning management with a focus on improving certain skill sets necessary to build growth and profitability and focusing product strategy on opportunities that are likely to bear results in the relatively short term. During the current quarter, management has taken further significant actions including reorganizing senior management and selectively improving organizational efficiency to effectively grow the business as the expected order flow resumes later in the year and in 2021. Management believes that, at this time, we have eliminated the substantial doubt for the Company to continue as a going concern. We are executing the plan to grow our business and achieve profitability without the requirement to raise additional capital for existing operations. However, if we experience a significant increase in business in 2021 beyond current forecasts, we may require an increase in working capital next year. The Company has already identified a source for increased investment through existing shareholders although such investment is not assured the Company is comfortable that it would be able to raise sufficient capital to support expanded operations based on this increase in business activity. In the long run, the continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon the ability of the Company to continue executing the plan described above, generate sufficient revenue and to attain consistently profitable operations. Although the current global pandemic related to the Novel Coronavirus (Covid-19) has affected our operations, and we do believe this is expected to be a long-term issue, the Company cannot currently quantify the uncertainty related to the recent pandemic and its effects on our customers in the coming quarters. We have analyzed our cash flow under stress test conditions and have determined that we have sufficient liquid assets on hand to maintain operations for at least 12 months from the date of this report. As further support for this position, we have experienced an increase in new contracts during the quarter. |
