LIQUIDITY, GOING CONCERN AND MANAGEMENT'S PLANS

2. LIQUIDITY, GOING CONCERN AND MANAGEMENT’S PLANS

  

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis that the Company will continue as a going concern. As of June 30, 2020, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $1,691,289, an accumulated deficit of $96,564,940 and negative working capital of $20,818,885. The Company has incurred recurring losses and reported losses for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, totaling $7,907,081 and $10,769,923, respectively. In the past, the Company has financed its operations principally through issuances of convertible debt, promissory notes and equity securities. During 2020, the Company continued to successfully obtain additional equity and debt financing and restructured existing debt.

  

The Company expects to continue to incur losses for the foreseeable future and needs to raise additional capital to continue its business development initiatives and to support its working capital requirements. During February 2020, the Company entered into a Master Exchange Agreement with an entity that has agreed to purchase up to approximately $7.7 million in certain promissory notes previously issued by the Company. Management believes that the Company has access to capital resources through potential public or private issuances of debt or equity securities. However, if the Company is unable to raise additional capital, which ability could be adversely affected by the outbreak of COVID-19, it may be required to curtail operations and take additional measures to reduce costs, including reducing its workforce and eliminating outside consultants to conserve its cash in amounts sufficient to sustain operations and meet its obligations. These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might become necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

Coronavirus disease 2019 and 2020 pandemic

  

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of a novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) as a pandemic which continues to spread throughout the United States and the world.  The Company is monitoring the outbreak of COVID-19 and the related business and travel restrictions and changes to behavior intended to reduce its spread, and its impact on operations, financial position, cash flows, inventory, supply chains, customer purchasing trends, customer payments, and the industry in general, in addition to the impact on its employees. Due to the rapid development and fluidity of this situation, the magnitude and duration of the pandemic and its impact on the Company's operations and liquidity is uncertain as of the date of this report. 

  

However, the Company’s business has been disrupted and materially adversely affected by the outbreak of COVID-19. The Company is still assessing its business operations and system supports and the impact COVID-19 may have on its results and financial condition, but there can be no assurance that this analysis will enable the Company to avoid part or all of any impact from the spread of COVID-19 or its consequences, including downturns in business sentiment generally or in its sectors in particular.

  

The Company’s operations are located in Alameda County, CA, Orange County, CA, Fairfield County, CT, the United Kingdom, Israel and members of senior management work in Seattle, WA and New York, NY. The Company has been following the recommendations of local health authorities to minimize exposure risk for its employees, including the temporary closures of its offices and having employees work remotely to the extent possible, which has to an extent adversely affected their efficiency.

  

Updates by business unit are as follows:

  

•DPW Holdings’ corporate headquarters, located in Newport Beach, CA, continues to work remotely, based on the occupancy and social distancing order from the Orange County Health Officer (http://www.ochealthinfo.com/phs/about/epidasmt/epi/dip/prevention/novel_coronavirus). The headquarters staff has tested the secure remote access systems and technology infrastructure to adjust working arrangements for its employees and believes it has adequate internal communications system and can remain operational with a remote staff. The Company is reviewing the reopening guidance by the Orange County Health Agency and the State of California along with COVID-19 General Checklist for Office Workspaces published by the California Department of Public Health. The corporate headquarters will reopen when the Company can provide a safe workspace for its employees.

  

•Coolisys Technologies Corp., located in Fremont, CA, had temporarily suspended operations as a result of the Alameda County Public Health Department’s order to cease all activities at facilities located within the County. Currently, manufacturing and logistics personnel operate on site whereas administrative personnel work remotely.

  

•Microphase Corporation, located in Shelton, CT, has developed an emergency plan to ensure that its mission critical manufacturing and logistical functions are up and running. Microphase has implemented additional steps to ensure a higher level of cleanliness in its facility. Employees at greater risk of major health issues from COVID-19, which include key members of its finance department, are not required to work on site. The crisis management team meets regularly to monitor the situation, and modifies and communicates the plan as the need arises. Once the COVID-19 crisis has passed, the team will work on transitioning Microphase back to normal operations.

  

•Gresham Power Electronics Limited, located in Salisbury, UK, continues to follow UK Government and Public Health England COVID-19 safety guidelines, which includes a combination of working remotely and adhering to social distancing and health and safety procedures on site. Essential staff are on site for specific work as required.

  

Enertec Systems 2001 Ltd., located in Karmiel, Israel, has been granted a waiver by the Israeli government to remain open to complete key projects that impact national security. Approximately 50% of the Enertec workforce is working remotely.
