Organization Consolidation And Presentation Of Financial Statements [Abstract] |
Background | Note 1: Background The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of JanOne Inc., a Nevada corporation, and its subsidiaries (collectively the “Company” or “JanOne”). On September 10, 2019, Appliance Recycling Centers of America, Inc. changed its name to JanOne Inc. The Company has three operating segments – Biotechnology, Recycling, and Technology. During September 2019, JanOne, through its biotechnology segment, broadened its business perspectives to become a pharmaceutical company focused on finding treatments for conditions that cause severe pain and bringing to market drugs with non-addictive pain-relieving properties. ARCA Recycling, Inc. (“ARCA Recycling”) provides turnkey recycling services for electric utility energy efficiency programs in the United States. ARCA Canada Inc. (“ARCA Canada”) provides turnkey recycling services for electric utility energy efficiency programs in Canada. Customer Connexx, LLC (“Connexx”) provides call center services for ARCA Recycling and ARCA Canada. GeoTraq Inc. (“GeoTraq”) is engaged in the development, design and, ultimately, we expect the sale, of cellular transceiver modules, also known as Mobile IoT modules, and associated wireless services. The Company reports on a 52- or 53-week fiscal year. The 2020 fiscal year (“2020”) will end on December 26, 2020, and the fiscal year (“2019”) ended on December 28, 2019, each fiscal year is 52 weeks in length. Going concern The Company currently faces a challenging competitive environment and is focused on improving its overall profitability, which includes managing expenses. The Company reported a net loss of $810 and $1,958 for the 13 weeks ended September 26, 2020 and September 28, 2019, respectively, and net loss of $5,535 and $5,357 for the 39 weeks ended September 26, 2020 and September 28, 2019, respectively. In addition, as of September 26, 2020, the Company had total current assets of $7,989 and total current liabilities $19,253 resulting in a net negative working capital of $11,264. The Company has available cash balances and funds available under an accounts receivable factoring program with Prestige Capital Finance, LLC (“Prestige Capital”) to provide sufficient liquidity to fund the entity’s operations, the entity’s continued investments in center openings, and remodeling activities for at least the next twelve months. The Company expects to generate cash from operations for the remainder of fiscal year 2020 given its cost cutting measures in response to the revenue reductions resulting from the Coronavirus. However, depending on the U.S.’ continued restrictions related to the coronavirus public health crisis, the Company cannot be certain its efforts will suffice. The agreement with Prestige Capital allows the Company to get advance funding of 80% of an unpaid customer’s invoice amount within 2 days and the balance less a mutually agreed upon fee upon ultimate collection in cash of the invoice. The Company expects that it will be able to utilize the available funds under the accounts receivable factoring agreement to provide liquidity and to pursue acquisitions and other strategic transactions to expand and grow the business to enhance shareholder value. Management also regularly monitors capital market conditions to ensure no other conditions or events exist that may materially affect the Company’s financial conditions and liquidity and the Company may raise additional funds through borrowings or public or private sales of debt or equity securities, if necessary. In March 2020, there was a global outbreak of COVID-19 (Coronavirus) that resulted in changes in global supply of certain products and an economic downturn. Beginning in March 2020, the outbreak started to have a material adverse impact on our operations and financial condition. For example, several customers in our appliance recycling and appliance replacement business suspended our ability to pick up and or replace their customers’ appliances, resulting in decreased revenues for both recycling and replacement business. During April 2020, and in response to the impacts of the COVID-19 virus and public health crisis, in an effort to manage its financial position and further preserve financial flexibility and longevity, the Company temporarily closed its corporate office in Minnesota and call center in Las Vegas, and idled all of its recycling processing centers in the United States and Canada. During the latter half of the second quarter, the Minnesota corporate office, Las Vegas call center, and the recycling processing centers reopened and the majority of our customers resumed their operating activities. Although our operations have recovered, the future impact of the outbreak is highly uncertain and cannot be predicted and there is no assurance that the outbreak will not have a material adverse impact on the future results of the Company. The extent of the impact, if any, will depend on future developments, including actions taken to contain the coronavirus. During April 2020, as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company entered into an amendment to its contract services agreement with certain customers, whereby those customers agreed to advance the Company $1,168 against the provision of future services. The advanced payment may only be utilized for the costs associated with labor and sustaining ARCA Recycling’s workforce. The advance agreement provides for partial loan forgiveness if certain conditions are met. See Note 14 for a complete discussion of these advances. On May 1, 2020, the Company entered into a promissory note with Texas Capital Bank, N.A. for $1,872 under the Paycheck Protection Program under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”). See Note 14 for a complete discussion about this loan. Additionally, the Company has $1,500 of availability under its Revolving Credit Facility (as defined in Note 21). Based on the above, management has concluded that as of the filing date on this quarterly report, the Company is not aware and did not identify any other conditions or events that would cause the Company to not be able to continue business as a going concern for the next twelve months.
