NOTE 1: NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND GOING CONCERN UNCERTAINTY

 

Nature of the Company’s Business

 

Creative Realities, Inc. is a Minnesota corporation that provides innovative shopper marketing and digital marketing technology and solutions to retail companies, individual retail brands, enterprises and organizations throughout the United States and in certain international markets. We have expertise in a broad range of existing and emerging shopper and digital marketing technologies, as well as the related media management and distribution software platforms and networks, device management, product management, customized software service layers, systems, experiences, workflows, and integrated solutions. Our technology and solutions include: digital merchandising systems and omni-channel customer engagement systems, interactive digital shopping assistants, advisors and kiosks, and other interactive marketing technologies such as mobile, social media, point-of-sale transactions, beaconing and web-based media that enable our customers to transform how they engage with consumers. We have expertise in a broad range of existing and emerging digital marketing technologies, as well as the following related aspects of our business: content, network management, and connected device software and firmware platforms; customized software service layers; hardware platforms; digital media workflows; and proprietary processes and automation tools. We believe we are one of the world’s leading interactive marketing technology companies that focuses on the retail shopper experience by helping retailers and brands use the latest technologies to create better shopping experiences.

 

Our main operations are conducted directly through Creative Realities, Inc., and under our wholly owned subsidiaries Creative Realities, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, Wireless Ronin Technologies Canada, Inc., and ConeXus World Global, LLC, (excluding the Belgian entity as discussed in Major Acquisitions below), a Kentucky limited liability company.

 

Going Concern Uncertainty

 

We have incurred net losses and negative cash flows from operating activities for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014. As of December 31, 2015, we had cash and cash equivalents of $1,361 and a working capital deficit of $(4,526). These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Management believes that despite its losses to date and while we can provide no assurance that our ongoing integration efforts will be successful, the operations of the combined Company resulting from the completed acquisitions and related restructuring actions will provide greater sales, margin, scale and operating efficiencies. We believe that we will ultimately be able to achieve operating profitability and positive cash flows from operations.

 

The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to the recoverability and classifications of recorded assets and liabilities as a result of the above uncertainty.

  

Major Acquisitions

 

Acquisition of ConeXus World Global

 

On October 15, 2015, we completed the acquisition of ConeXus World Global, LLC pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization for 2,080,000 shares of Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock, and the conversion of $823 of ConeXus World Global debt into (i) 2,639,258 shares of our common stock, and (ii) $150 in principal amount of our convertible debt. As a result of the merger transaction, ConeXus World Global, LLC is now our wholly owned operating subsidiary. The merger was completed by the filing of articles of merger with the Kentucky Secretary of State.

 

The debtholders and members of ConeXus received a total of 1,664,000 shares of Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $1.00, and 16,000,000 shares of our common stock, par value $0.01. In accordance with the terms of the amendment to the agreement and plan of merger and reorganization, an additional 416,000 shares of Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock and 4,000,000 shares of common stock, collectively referred to as holdback shares, shall be issued immediately upon the reorganization of the capital structure of a Belgian affiliate of ConeXus, as discussed below.

 

The agreement and plan of merger and reorganization contemplates an ownership matter among the former ConeXus security holders involving an erroneously documented ownership situation related to its Belgian affiliate, with the resolution of such matter, including the reorganization of the Belgian affiliate, subject to the agreement of the Company. Effective February 8, 2016, the Company has extended the period from March 31, 2016 to June 30, 2016 for the ConeXus security holders to resolve such ownership matter, including the reorganization of the Belgian affiliate. The Company believes that the reorganization of the Belgian affiliate is not probable and as such no liability has been recorded for these additional shares, the consideration has not been included in the purchase price allocation and the financial results of the Belgian affiliate have not been included in the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2015. The Belgian affiliate is not currently nor is it expected to be under the common control ownership or a variable interest entity of the Company as a result of this transaction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Company is involved in discussions and the early stages of negotiations with the Belgian affiliate to pursue the potential acquisition of such affiliate in a separate transaction, independent of the ConeXus World Global, LLC Plan of Merger and Reorganization described herein.

 

Acquisition of Creative Realities

 

 On August 20, 2014, we completed the merger of Creative Realities. The merger was accounted for as a reverse acquisition. Creative Realities, LLC was determined to be the accounting acquirer since its former shareholder has majority control of the common stock, is the largest shareholder, and has the majority members of the board of directors and of the executive officers. In accordance with reverse acquisition accounting, the historical financial statements of the registrant became those of Creative Realities, with the financial results of Wireless Ronin Technologies included only beginning with the merger date. Effective September 15, 2014, Wireless Ronin Technologies, Inc. changed its name to Creative Realities, Inc.
