Restructuring and Related Activities [Abstract] |
Restructuring | RESTRUCTURING There were no restructuring credits or expense recorded for the three months ended March 31, 2022. For the three months ended March 31, 2021, we recorded net restructuring credits of approximately $19 thousand related to the costs and offsetting sub-lease income and accretion expense for the remaining lease obligation for our former New York, New York office. For additional information regarding the restructuring actions taken as part of the restructuring plans, please refer to Note 3, “Restructuring,” included under Item 8, “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data,” of our 2021 Annual Report. The lease obligation on our former New York, New York office was settled as of June 30, 2021. Our restructuring liabilities consisted of estimated ongoing costs related to long-term operating lease obligations, which the Company exited. The recorded value of the lease obligation was based on the remaining lease term and payment amount, discounted to present value. Changes in subsequent periods resulting from a revision to either the timing or the amount of estimated cash flows over the future period were measured using the credit adjusted, risk free rate that was used to measure the restructuring liabilities initially. The following is a reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances of our restructuring liability as it relates to the restructuring plans (in thousands):
|  |  | 2021
Balance at December 31, 2020 |  |  | $ | 11 |
Payments |  |  | (6) |
Balance at March 31, 2021 |  |  | $ | 5 |
The following is a reconciliation of the ending balance of our restructuring liability at March 31, 2021 to the balance sheet:
|  |  | 2021
Balance at March 31, 2021 |  |  | $ | 5 |
Less, short-term restructuring liability |  |  | 5 |
Long-term restructuring liability, included in other liabilities |  |  | $ | — |
As a result of the restructuring actions and initiatives described above, we have tailored our operating expenses to be more in line with our expected sales volumes; however, we continue to incur losses and have a substantial accumulated deficit, and substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern continues to exist at March 31, 2022. Throughout 2021 and the first quarter of 2022, we have continued to evaluate and assess strategic options as we seek to achieve profitability. We plan to continue to develop advanced lighting and lighting control technologies and introduce impactful new products surrounding EnFocus TM, our patented, breakthrough powerline control platform. We also continue to believe our proprietary RedCap® emergency backup lighting system addresses a market need and will continue to help drive commercial sales for us as it has been well received in the market. We brought the first of our UVCD products, the nUVo™ Tower portable air disinfection device for offices and homes and the nUVo™ Traveler portable personal air disinfection device for in-vehicle and smaller spaces, to market beginning in the fourth quarter of 2021, and we expect to evaluate the potential development of additional products in 2022. We plan to achieve profitability by growing our sales through existing lighting, new lighting control systems and UVCD products, and by continuing to refine and execute on our multi-channel sales strategy that targets key verticals, such as government, healthcare, education, and commercial and industrial, complemented by our marketing outreach campaigns and expanding channel partnerships, as well as our emerging consumer market focus. As described in Note 9, “Stockholders’ Equity,” we also raised approximately $4.0 million of net proceeds upon the issuance of common stock and December 2021 Warrants in connection with the December 2021 Private Placement, and approximately $4.5 million of net proceeds upon the issuance of common stock in connection with the June 2021 Equity Offering. As described in Note 7, “Debt”, in April 2022 and April 2021, we obtained approximately net proceeds of $1.8 million and $1.5 million of bridge financing, respectively. Also in April 2021, we expanded the borrowing capacity on one of our revolving credit facilities. The restructuring and cost cutting initiatives taken throughout 2021 and continuing into 2022, as well as the December 2021 Private Placement and the June 2021 Equity Offering that strengthened our balance sheet, our credit facility capacity increase and bridge financings in April 2022 and 2021, and the funds we expect to receive related to the Employee Retention Tax Credit (“ERTC”; see Note 11, “Other Income” for details), were all designed to allow us to effectively execute these strategies. However, our efforts may not occur as quickly as we envision or be successful due to the long sales cycle in our industry, the corresponding time required to ramp up sales from new products, markets, and customers into this sales cycle, the timing of introductions of additional new products, significant competition, potential sales volatility given our customer concentration, numerous interruptions and cost increases in the supply chain globally, and the ongoing economic impact from the COVID-19 pandemic that has significantly diminished the interest and activities for our customers’ lighting retrofit projects until occupancy returns to more normal levels, among other factors. Additionally, global supply chain and logistics constraints are impacting our inventory purchasing strategy, as we seek to manage both shortages of available components and longer lead times in obtaining components. Disruptions in global logistics networks are also impacting our lead times and ability to efficiently and cost-effectively transport products from our third-party suppliers to our facility. As a result, we will continue to review and pursue selected external funding sources to ensure adequate financial resources to execute across the timelines required to achieve these objectives including, but not limited to, the following: •obtaining financing from traditional or non-traditional investment capital organizations or individuals; •obtaining funding from the sale of our common stock or other equity or debt instruments; and •obtaining debt financing with lending terms that more closely match our business model and capital needs. There can be no assurance that we will obtain funding on acceptable terms, in a timely fashion, or at all. Obtaining additional funding contains risks, including: •additional equity financing may not be available to us on satisfactory terms, and any equity we are able to issue could lead to dilution for current stockholders and have rights, preferences and privileges senior to our common stock; •loans or other debt instruments may have terms and/or conditions, such as interest rate, restrictive covenants, conversion features, refinancing demands, and control or revocation provisions, which are not acceptable to management or our board of directors; and •the current environment in the capital markets combined with our capital constraints may prevent us from being able to obtain adequate debt financing. Additionally, if we are unable to find a permanent Chief Executive Officer and a Chief Financial Officer, it may be more difficult to obtain additional financing on satisfactory terms or at all. If we fail to obtain the required additional financing to sustain our business before we are able to produce levels of revenue to meet our financial needs, we will need to delay, scale back or eliminate our growth plans and further reduce our operating costs and headcount, each of which would have a material adverse effect on our business, future prospects, and financial condition. A lack of additional funding could also result in our inability to continue as a going concern and force us to sell certain assets or discontinue or curtail our operations and, as a result, investors in the Company could lose their entire investment. Considering both quantitative and qualitative information, we continue to believe that the combination of our plans to ensure adequate external funding, timely re-organizational actions, current financial position, liquid resources, obligations due or anticipated within the next year, development and implementation of an excess inventory reduction plan, plans and initiatives in our research and development, product development and sales and marketing, and development of potential channel partnerships, if adequately executed, will provide us with an ability to finance our operations through the next twelve months and will mitigate the substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. On August 17, 2020, we received a letter from the Listing Qualifications staff (the “Staff”) of The Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) notifying us that we were no longer in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1), which requires listed companies to maintain stockholders’ equity of at least $2,500,000 if they do not meet the alternative compliance standards relating to the market value of listed securities or net income from continuing operations (the “Minimum Stockholders’ Equity Rule”). Our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2020, filed on August 13, 2020, reflected that our stockholders’ equity as of June 30, 2020 was $1,714,000. Based on our timely submission of our plan to regain compliance, Nasdaq granted us an extension through February 15, 2021 to regain compliance with the Minimum Stockholders’ Equity Rule. In accordance with one part of the plan submitted to the Staff, we successfully modified our outstanding January 2020 Warrants and in December 2020, we reclassified $1.4 million from warrant liability into equity. On January 20, 2021, we received a letter from the Staff notifying us that, on a conditional basis, Nasdaq has determined that we have regained compliance with the Minimum Stockholders’ Equity Rule. At December 31, 2020, our stockholders’ equity was $4,255,000, satisfying the Minimum Stockholders’ Equity Rule. At December 31, 2021, our stockholders’ equity was $6,209,000 and at March 31, 2022, our stockholders’ equity was $3,432,000.
