Organization Consolidation And Presentation Of Financial Statements [Abstract] |
The Company and Basis of Presentation | NOTE 1 – THE COMPANY AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION Nature of Operations One Stop Systems, Inc. (“we,” “our,” “OSS,” or the “Company”) was originally incorporated as a California corporation in 1999, after initially being formed as a California limited liability company in 1998. On December 14, 2017, the Company was reincorporated as a Delaware corporation in connection with its initial public offering. The Company designs, manufactures, and markets specialized high-performance compute and storage hardware, software, and systems, which are designed to target edge artificial intelligence (“AI”) Transportable deployments. The Company markets its products to manufacturers of automated equipment used for autonomous vehicle, medical, industrial, and military applications, with special focus on platforms that move, such as trucks, planes, and mobile datacenters. During the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company formed a wholly owned subsidiary in Germany, One Stop Systems, GmbH (“OSS GmbH”). In July 2016, the Company acquired Mission Technologies Group, Inc. (“Magma”) and its operations that complemented OSS' manufacture of custom high-performance compute servers. On August 31, 2018, the Company acquired Concept Development Inc. (“CDI”) located in Irvine, California. CDI specialized in the design and manufacture of custom high-performance computing systems for airborne in-flight entertainment, flight safety equipment, and networking systems. CDI’s business was fully integrated into the core operations of the Company as of June 1, 2020. On October 31, 2018, OSS GmbH acquired 100% of the outstanding equity of Bressner Technology GmbH, a limited liability company registered under the laws of Germany and located near Munich, Germany (“OSS Europe”). OSS Europe designs and manufactures standard and customized servers, panel PCs, and PCIe accelerator systems. Although, currently, OSS Europe primarily serves as a value-added reseller for the Company in Europe, we are also focused on growing the AI Transportable portion of our business through OSS Europe and leveraging its existing relationships. OSS Europe also provides manufacturing, test, sales, and marketing services for customers throughout Europe, the Middle East and Africa. As of June 30, 2023, the Company has completed and fulfilled substantially all of its orders associated with its long-term media and entertainment customer and does not anticipate significant business from this customer in the future. This resulted from an acceleration in such customer’s investment in cloud technology and a drive towards less intelligent compute capability at the edge to reduce the costs of their componentry. This is particularly true of their virtual products, which do not require the same level of ruggedization, as this system is not typically operated in harsh environments and for which software is being developed to provide a real-time cloud solution. This customer’s transition to cloud solutions had a negative impact on the Company’s results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, and is expected to continue to have a negative impact on the Company’s results of operations for the near term. As previously disclosed, in 2021, we shifted our primary focus to the development and sale of AI Transportables. Since 2022, we have significantly increased our efforts to penetrate the military and defense sectors in particular. With the formation of a new strategic advisory board in second quarter 2022, and the recent hiring of a new president and chief executive officer, who has extensive experience in contracting in the defense industry, we have further increased our emphasis and focus on the pursuit of revenue opportunities with major defense contractors and the military. The lingering negative impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and the impact on the global economy and capital markets resulting from the geopolitical instability caused in part by the ongoing military conflict between Russia and Ukraine, including inflation and Federal Reserve interest rate increases, have contributed to global supply chain issues and economic uncertainty, which has negatively affected our operations. Additionally, during the first half of 2023, the general consensus among economists continued to suggest that a risk of recession will continue for the foreseeable future, which could result in further economic uncertainty and volatility in the capital markets in the near term and could negatively affect our operations. We are continuing to experience increased pricing, longer lead-times, unavailability of certain product and limited supplies, protracted delivery dates, changes in minimum order quantities to secure product, and/or shortages of certain parts and supplies that are necessary components for the products and services we offer to our customers. As a result, the Company is continuing to carry increased inventory balances to ensure availability of necessary products and to secure pricing. These global issues and concerns regarding general economic decline or recession are impacting our business as well as some of our customers, who are experiencing downturns or uncertainty in their own business operations and revenue, and as a result, these customers may need to decrease or delay their technology spending, request pricing concessions or payment extensions, or seek to renegotiate their contracts. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company experienced delays and postponements of committed purchases and orders due to certain customers’ funding or program delays. We have also experienced cancellations of orders due to disruptions in our customers’ businesses or changes in their business plans. Such delays, postponements and cancellations negatively impacted the Company’s results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023. If such decreases in orders, postponements or cancellations continue in the future, our operating results will be further impacted, and our revenues may decline in future periods. These global issues and events may also have the effect of heightening many risks associated with our customers and supply chain. We may take further actions that alter our operations as may be required by federal, state, or local authorities from time to time, or which we determine are in our best interests. In addition, we may decide to postpone or abandon planned investments in our business in response to changes in our business, which may impact our ability to attract and retain customers and our rate of innovation, either of which could harm our business. In March 2023, Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank, and most recently on May 1, 2023, First Republic Bank, were closed and taken over by the FDIC, which created significant market disruption and uncertainty for those who bank with those institutions, and which raised significant concern regarding the stability of the banking system in the United States, and in particular with respect to regional banks. If other banks and financial institutions enter receivership or become insolvent in the future in response to financial conditions affecting the banking system and financial markets, our ability to access our cash and cash equivalents may be threatened and such events could have a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition. As a result of these global issues, as well as other factors discussed in this Quarterly Report, it has been difficult to accurately forecast our revenues or financial results, especially given the near and long-term impacts of the economic and geopolitical issues, inflation, the Federal Reserve interest rate increases and the potential for a recession. In addition, while the potential impact and duration of these issues on the economy and our business may be difficult to assess or predict, these world events have resulted in, and may continue to result in, significant disruption of global financial markets, and may reduce our ability to access additional capital, which could negatively affect our liquidity in the future. Our results of operations could be materially below our forecasts as well, which could adversely affect our results of operations, disappoint analysts and investors, or cause our stock price to decline. Management’s plans with respect to the above are to continue their efforts towards responding to the changing economic landscape, to continue to control costs, conserve cash, strengthen margins through the introduction of new product lines focusing on AI compute capabilities for military and industrial applications, autonomous truck diving and improve company-wide execution. In February 2023, the Company announced that David Raun, the Company’s president and chief executive officer as of such date, would be stepping down, effective upon the appointment of his successor. In connection with the anticipated transition, on April 3, 2023, the Company and Mr. Raun entered into an Amended and Restated Employment Agreement (the “A&R Raun Agreement”), which superseded that certain Employment Agreement between the Company and Mr. Raun, dated June 24, 2020, as amended by that Amendment to Employment Agreement, dated July 15, 2020. The term of the A&R Raun Agreement commenced on April 3, 2023, and was to remain in effect until the earlier of (i) June 24, 2023 and (ii) the first date on which Mr. Raun’s successor commenced his or her employment as the chief executive officer of the Company, unless earlier terminated or extended pursuant to terms of the A&R Raun Agreement. On May 16, 2023, the Company entered into an employment agreement with Michael Knowles, pursuant to which, effective June 5, 2023, Mr. Knowles began serving as president and chief executive officer and president of the Company. Consistent with prior disclosures and the terms and conditions of the A&R Raun Agreement, Mr. Raun stepped down as president and chief executive officer of the Company on June 5, 2023, and the A&R Raun Agreement automatically terminated pursuant to its terms.
