Quarterly Report
The Company has incurred substantial recurring losses since its inception. The Company's current strategy is to raise capital and invest that capital in such a way that the Company rapidly grows its market share and revenues, eventually resulting in profits and cash from operations. However, this strategy requires a rapid build-up of infrastructure that will initially exacerbate the Company's operating deficit and use of cash in operations, because the expected revenue expansion will lag the investment in infrastructure. The capital that the Company has raised, and likely will continue to raise, will be used to invest in an expanded salesforce, to fund development of the software product, to fund incremental legal and accounting costs associated with being a public company and to fund the Company's operating deficit and general working capital requirements.
Rackwise, Inc. and Subsidiary
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 2 - Liquidity, Going Concern and Management's Plans - Continued
During the three months ended March 31, 2012 and the twelve months ended December 31, 2011, the Company raised net proceeds of $1,447,114 (gross proceeds of $1,633,750 less issuance costs of $186,636) and $6,089,753 (gross proceeds of $6,545,012 less issuance costs of $455,259), respectively, in private offerings of common stock and warrants. This capital has permitted the Company to proceed with its infrastructure investments. During the three months ended March 31, 2012, the Company hired 14 people, including 11 salespersons, which brought the Company to a full complement of sales staff in the United States and Latin America markets.
As expected, the Company's net losses and usage of cash has expanded, while it awaits the expected benefits of its investment. During the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company recorded net losses of approximately $2,229,000 and $899,000, respectively, while revenues expanded to approximately $684,000 from $536,000, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company used cash in operating activities of approximately $1,657,000 and $105,000, respectively. As of March 31, 2012, the Company's cash balance, working capital deficiency, accumulated deficit and stockholders' deficiency were approximately $190,000, $2,864,000, $36,116,000 and $2,465,000, respectively. Subsequent to March 31, 2012, the Company raised an additional $400,000 of gross proceeds from a private offering of convertible promissory notes.
The Company believes it will be successful in these efforts; however, there can be no assurance that it will meet its revenue forecasts or, if necessary, be successful in raising additional debt or equity financing to fund its operations on terms agreeable to the Company. These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company were unable to continue as a going concern.
Note 3 - Significant Accounting Policies
Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
The Company recognizes an allowance for doubtful accounts to ensure that accounts receivable are not overstated due to uncollectibility. At the time accounts receivable are originated, the Company considers a reserve for doubtful accounts based on the creditworthiness of customers. The provision for uncollectible amounts is continually reviewed and adjusted to maintain the allowance at a level considered adequate to cover future losses. The allowance is management's best estimate of uncollectible amounts and is determined based on historical performance that is tracked by the Company on an ongoing basis. During the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company's losses from bad debts were not material. Actual losses could differ materially in the near term from the amounts estimated in determining the allowance.
In addition, the Company also factors its receivables with full recourse and, as a result, accounts for the factoring akin to a secured borrowing, maintaining the gross receivable asset and due to factor liability on its books and records. In connection with the factoring of its receivables, the Company estimates an allowance for factoring fees associated with the collections. These fees range from 2% to 30% depending on the actual timing of the collection. The actual recognition of such fees may differ from the estimates depending upon the timing of collections.
As of March 31, 2012, the Company had three customers representing 51%, 23% and 12% of accounts receivable. As of December 31, 2011, the Company had two customers representing 46% and 46% of accounts receivable.
Note 3 - Significant Accounting Policies - Continued
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities, and reported amounts of revenues and expenses in the consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The significant estimates and assumptions of the Company are stock-based compensation, the useful lives of fixed assets and intangibles, depreciation and amortization, the allowances for factoring fees and income taxes, and the fair value of derivative liabilities and warrants.
Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company does not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market or foreign currency risks. The Company evaluates all of its financial instruments to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives. For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported in the statements of operations. For stock-based derivative financial instruments, the Company uses the binomial lattice options pricing model to value the derivative instruments at inception and on subsequent valuation dates. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is evaluated at the end of each reporting period.
Concentration of Credit Risk and Customers
Financial instruments that potentially expose the Company to concentration of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable. The Company's cash and cash equivalents are deposited with major financial institutions. At times, such deposits may be in excess of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insurable amount. The Company generally does not require collateral from its customers and generally requires payment in 30 days. The Company evaluates the collectability of its accounts receivable and provides an allowance for potential credit losses as necessary. Historically, such losses have been within management's expectations.
Revenues derived from customers in the United Kingdom denominated in U.S. dollars were approximately $9,000 and $15,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Revenues derived from customers in Austria denominated in U.S. dollars were approximately $3,000 and $0 during the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Revenues derived from customers in Australia denominated in U.S. dollars were approximately $13,000 and $12,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Revenues derived from customers in Canada denominated in U.S. dollars were approximately $2,000 and $3,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Revenues derived from customers in Russia denominated in U.S. dollars were approximately $0 and $6,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. All remaining revenues were derived from customers in the United States of America. All of the Company's long-lived assets are located in the United States of America. One customer provided 19% and 15% of revenues during the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
Note 3 - Significant Accounting Policies - Continued
Intangible Assets
All of the Company's intangible assets consist of shapes acquired from a graphics designer for the Company's database library that are schematics of specific computer equipment. These shapes are utilized in the Company's software with multiple customers in order to enable them to visualize and differentiate the specific computer equipment in their overall network. For example, the Company's software's graphical user interface displays a unique shape for each make and model of computer server. Intangible assets are recorded at cost less accumulated amortization. Amortization is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of 2.5 years.
Revenue Recognition
In accordance with ASC topic 985-605, "Software Revenue Recognition," perpetual license revenue is recognized when (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (ii) delivery has occurred or services have been rendered; (iii) the sales price is fixed or determinable; and (iv) collectability is reasonably assured. Delivery is considered to have occurred when title and risk of loss have been transferred to the customer, which generally occurs after a license key has been delivered electronically to the customer. The Company's perpetual license agreements do not (a) provide for a right of return, (b) contain acceptance clauses or (c) contain refund provisions.
In the case of the Company's (a) subscription-based licenses, and (b) maintenance arrangements, when sold separately, revenues are recognized ratably over the service period. The Company defers revenue for software license and maintenance agreements when cash has been received from the customer and the agreement does not qualify for recognition under ASC Topic 985-605. Such amounts are reflected as deferred revenues in the accompanying financial statements. The Company's subscription license agreements do not (a) provide for a right of return, (b) contain acceptance clauses or (c) contain refund provisions.
The Company provides professional services to its customers. Such services, which include training, installation, and implementation, are recognized when the services are performed. The Company also provides volume discounts to various customers. In accordance with ASC Topic 985-605, the discount is allocated proportionally to the delivered elements of the multiple-element arrangement and recognized accordingly.
For software arrangements with multiple elements, which in its case are comprised of (1) licensing fees, (2) professional services, and (3) maintenance/support, revenue is recognized dependent upon whether vendor specific objective evidence ("VSOE") of fair value exists for separating each of the elements. Licensing rights are generally delivered at time of invoice, professional services are delivered within one to six months and maintenance is for a twelve month contract. Accordingly, licensing revenues are recognized upon invoice, professional services are recognized when all services have been delivered and maintenance revenue is amortized over a twelve month period. The Company determined that VSOE exists for both the delivered and undelivered elements of its multiple-element arrangements. The Company limits its assessment of fair value to either (a) the price charged when the same element is sold separately or (b) the price established by management having the relevant authority. There may be cases, however, in which there is objective and reliable evidence of fair value of the undelivered item(s) but no such evidence for the delivered item(s). In those cases, the selling price method is used to allocate the arrangement consideration, if all other revenue recognition criteria are met. Under the selling price method, the amount of consideration allocated to the delivered item(s) is calculated based on estimated selling prices.
The Company manages the business as a single segment, but it has revenues from multiple sources.
Note 3 - Significant Accounting Policies - Continued
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying amounts of financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, receivables, accounts payable, accrued expenses and deferred revenue, approximated fair value as of the balance sheet date presented, because of the relatively short maturity dates on these instruments. The carrying amounts of the financing arrangements issued approximate fair value as of the balance sheet date presented, because interest rates on these instruments approximate market interest rates after consideration of stated interest rates, anti-dilution protection and associated warrants.
Debt Discount and Amortization of Debt Discount
Debt discount represents the fair value of embedded conversion options of various convertible debt instruments and attached convertible equity instruments issued in connection with debt instruments. The debt discount is amortized over the earlier of (i) the term of the debt or (ii) conversion of the debt, using the straight-line method which approximates the interest method. The amortization of debt discount is included as a component of other expenses in the accompanying statements of operations.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company has an equity plan which allows for the granting of stock options to its employees, directors and consultants for a fixed number of shares with an exercise price equal to the fair value of the shares at date of grant. The Company measures the cost of services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the fair value of the award. For employees and directors, the fair value of the award is measured on the grant date and for non-employees, the fair value of the award is generally re-measured on interim financial reporting dates until the service period is complete. The fair value amount is then recognized over the period during which services are required to be provided in exchange for the award, usually the vesting period. Since the shares underlying the Company's equity are not currently registered, the fair value of the Company's restricted equity instruments was estimated based on historical observations of cash prices paid for the Company's restricted common stock.
Stock-based compensation for directors is reflected in general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations. Stock-based compensation for employees and consultants could be reflected in (a) sales and marketing expenses; (b) research and development expenses; or (c) general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations.
Net Loss Per Common Share
Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss applicable to common shares by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Weighted average shares outstanding for the three months ended March 31, 2012 excludes the weighted average impact of the 3,000,000 escrowed shares. Weighted average shares outstanding for the three months ended March 31, 2011 includes the weighted average underlying shares exercisable with respect to the 1,609,747 warrants exercisable at prices of $0.01 per share or less. In accordance with the accounting literature, (1) the Company has given effect to the issuance of these warrants in computing basic net loss per share because the underlying shares are issuable for little or no cash consideration; and (2) the Company has excluded the impact of the escrowed shares because they are contingently returnable. Diluted net loss per common share adjusts basic net loss per common share for the effects of potentially dilutive financial instruments, only in the periods in which such effects exist and are dilutive. At March 31, 2012, outstanding stock options and warrants to purchase 23,275,000 and 49,815,183 shares of common stock were excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per common share because their impact would have been anti-dilutive. At March 31, 2011, outstanding stock options and warrants to purchase 13,575,986 and 11,889,752 shares of common stock, respectively, were excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per common share because their impact would have been anti-dilutive.
Note 4 - Derivative Liabilities - Related Parties
In accordance with ASC 815-40, "Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity's Own Equity", instruments which do not have fixed settlement provisions are deemed to be derivative instruments. The Company has determined that embedded conversion options of various notes payable which do not have fixed settlement provisions and accordingly are not indexed to its own stock, are deemed to be derivative liabilities. The embedded conversion options of the various notes issued by the Company do not have fixed settlement provisions as the conversion and exercise prices are not fixed and determinable on the date of issuance. In accordance with ASC Topic 718, "Stock Compensation" ("ASC 718"), the conversion options of the notes were bifurcated from their respective host contracts and recognized as derivative liabilities. The warrants issued in connection with the notes payable were not deemed to be derivative liabilities because they have a fixed settlement provision. The fair values of these derivative liabilities are re-measured at the end of every reporting period with the change in value reported in the statement of operations.
The fair values of the embedded conversion options, which are associated with notes payable issued to related parties, were measured using the binomial lattice options pricing model with the following assumptions:
For The Three
Months Ended
March 31,
2011
Risk free rate 0.10% - 0.17%
Expected volatility 65% - 70%
Expected life (in years) 0.13 - 0.38
Expected dividend yield 0%
|
The risk-free interest rate was based on the rates of treasury securities with the same terms as the terms of the instruments. The Company based expected volatility on the historical volatility for ten comparable publicly traded company's common stock. The expected life of the notes was based on the maturity of the notes. The expected dividend yield of zero was based upon the fact that the Company has not historically paid dividends, and does not expect to pay dividends in the future. The gain on change in fair value of derivative liabilities, included in other income in the accompanying statements of operations was $42,719 for the three months ended March 31, 2011.
On September 21, 2011, immediately prior to, and conditioned upon the effectiveness of the reverse merger, all of the outstanding non-bridge convertible notes and the related accrued interest converted into equity. At that time the derivative liability associated with the embedded conversion options of notes issued to related parties was revalued at $1,133,186 and was reclassified to equity.
Note 5 - Equity
Consulting Agreements
On August 21, 2011, the Company entered into a three-month agreement for public relations and financial communications services. In consideration of services to be rendered, the Company agreed to pay $15,000 in cash per month in advance, for an aggregate of $45,000, and, subject to the consummation of the reverse merger, to issue 70,000 shares of vested Company common stock per month, for an aggregate of 210,000 shares, of which, 70,000 shares remained unissued as of December 31, 2011. Accordingly, during 2011, the Company accrued the equity issuance liability of $15,960. During the three months ended March 31, 2012, the remaining 70,000 shares were issued and the $15,960 issuance date value of the shares was credited to equity.
On December 19, 2011, the Company renewed an agreement for public relations and financial communications services for a three-month term. In consideration of services to be rendered, the Company agreed to pay $7,500 in cash per month in advance, for an aggregate of $22,500, and to issue 25,000 shares of vested Company common stock per month, for an aggregate of 75,000 shares. On February 3, 2012, after the Company had made an initial cash payment of $7,500 in December 2011, the Company terminated this agreement for non-performance. No shares were issued and no stock-based compensation expense was recorded related to this renewal agreement.
On November 16, 2011, the Company entered into a twelve-month agreement for investor relations services with a consultant. In consideration of services to be rendered, the Company agreed to pay $6,000 in cash per month in advance, for an aggregate of $72,000, and to immediately issue 500,000 shares of vested Company common stock, plus an additional 500,000 shares of common stock at the six month anniversary of the agreement. The Company valued the shares and recorded the full value of issued shares and cash payments as consulting expense at the issuance date. For the year ended December 31, 2011, the Company recorded stock-based compensation expense of $114,000 (value of the first 500,000 shares), included in general and administrative expenses in the accompanying statements of operations. On January 11, 2012, the Company terminated this agreement and on January 16, 2012, the Company entered into a settlement agreement whereby the consultant agreed to accept the initial $12,000 of 2011 cash payments and 250,000 shares of common stock (by returning 250,000 shares of common stock to the Company for cancellation) in full satisfaction of the terminated agreement. The Company reversed $57,000 of stock-based compensation expense upon cancellation of the returned shares.
On November 30, 2011, the Company entered into a six-month agreement for investor relations services. In consideration of services to be rendered, the Company agreed to pay a minimum of $7,000 in cash per month in advance (subject to supplemental performance-based bonuses), for an aggregate of $42,000, and to immediately issue 75,000 shares of vested Company common stock, of which, 75,000 shares remained unissued as of December 31, 2011. Accordingly, during 2011, the Company accrued the equity issuance liability of $17,100. During the three months ended March 31, 2012, the remaining 75,000 shares were issued and the $17,100 issuance date value of the shares was credited to equity.
Second Private Offering
During the three months ended March 31, 2012, the Company had three additional closings of a private offering that commenced in December 2011 (the "Second Private Offering") pursuant to which an aggregate of 4,356,669 investor units ("Second Units") were sold at a price of $0.375 per Second Unit, resulting in $1,447,114 of aggregate net proceeds ($1,633,750 of gross proceeds less $186,636 of issuance costs). Each Second Unit consists of one share of common stock (deemed to represent $0.345 of the per Second Unit cost) and a warrant to purchase one-quarter share of common stock (deemed to represent $0.030 of the per Second Unit cost) (the "Second Investor Warrants"), such that an aggregate of 4,356,669 shares of common stock and Second Investor Warrants to purchase 1,089,169 shares of common stock were issued.
The Second Private Offering was made on a "best efforts" basis with respect to a maximum of 8,000,000 Second Units ($3,000,000 of aggregate proceeds). In addition, in the event the maximum number of Second Units was sold, the placement agent and the Company had the option to offer an additional 2,666,667 Second Units ($1,000,000 of aggregate proceeds).
Note 5 - Equity - Continued
Second Private Offering - Continued
The Second Investor Warrants are exercisable for a period of five years at an exercise price of $1.00 per full share of common stock. The Second Investor Warrants may be called for redemption by the Company at any time upon not less than 30 or more than 60 days prior written notice, provided that, at the time of delivery of such notice, (i) there is a registration statement covering the resale of the shares underlying the warrants; (ii) the average closing bid price for the Company's common stock for each of the 20 consecutive trading days prior to the date of the notice of redemption is at least $2.00, as proportionally adjusted to reflect any stock splits, stock dividends, combinations of shares or like events; and (iii) the average trading volume for the Company's common stock is at least 100,000 shares per day during the 20 consecutive trading days prior to the date of the notice of redemption and that during such 20-day period there is no more than one trading day in which there is no trading in the Company's common stock.
The Second Investor Warrants, at the option of the holder, may be exercised by cash payment of the exercise price to the Company. Alternatively, the Second Investor Warrants may be exercised on a cashless basis commencing one year after the date of the final closing of the Second Private Offering if no registration statement registering the shares underlying the investor warrants is then in effect. The exercise price and number of shares of common stock issuable on exercise of the investor warrants may be adjusted in certain circumstances including stock splits, stock dividends, and future issuances of the Company's equity securities without consideration or for consideration per share less than $0.375 (as specified in the warrant agreement).
The placement agent for the Second Private Offering receives a cash commission of 10% or 5% of the funds raised from investors in the Second Private Offering that were directly attributable or referred to the placement agent, respectively. In addition, the placement agent receives five-year warrants to purchase shares of common stock (the "Second Broker Warrants") equal to 10% or 5% of the Second Units sold to investors in the Second Private Offering that were directly attributable or referred to the placement agent, respectively. As a result of the foregoing arrangement, in connection with the three 2012 closings, the placement agent (1) was paid aggregate cash commissions of $136,500; and (2) was issued Second Broker Warrants to purchase 364,000 shares of common stock.
The Second Broker Warrants are identical to the Second Investor Warrants in all material respects except that (i) the resale of the common stock underlying them is not covered by a registration statement; and (ii) they have an exercise price of $0.375 per share of common stock.
In connection with the Second Private Offering, the Company executed a registration rights agreement, whereby the Company committed to file a registration statement covering the resale of the common stock underlying the Second Units sold or to be sold in the Second Private Offering and the common stock that is issuable upon exercise of the Second Investor Warrants (but not the common stock that is issuable upon exercise of the Second Broker Warrants) within 75 days of the final closing of the Second Private Offering, and to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the registration statement to become effective no later than 150 days after it is filed. The Company will be liable for monetary penalties at the monthly rate of 1% (to a maximum of 10%) of each . . .
