1. Basis of presentation
The
accompanying unaudited financial statements of TransAct Technologies Incorporated
(“TransAct”, the “Company”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of
the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP to be included in full year financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair statement of the results for the periods presented have been included
and are of a normal recurring nature
. The
December 31, 2021
Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP. These interim financial
statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2021
.
The financial position and results of operations of our U.K. subsidiary are measured using local currency as the functional currency. Assets and liabilities of
such subsidiary have been translated at the end-of-period exchange rates, and related revenues and expenses have been translated at the exchange rate as of the date the transaction was recognized, with the resulting translation gain or loss recorded in
“Accumulated other comprehensive income, net of tax” in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and “Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)” in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Changes in Shareholders’ Equity. Transaction gains and
losses are included in “Other, net” in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year ending December 31,
2022.
Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic
In the first quarter of 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic and the resulting social distancing measures, including closures and restricted
openings of restaurants and casinos implemented by federal, state and local authorities, negatively impacted customer demand and disrupted portions of our supply chain, including delayed product shipments from our two manufacturers located in Thailand
and China. Our inventory levels decreased significantly during 2021 due to these supply chain disruptions, and although we have been able to increase inventory levels during the first quarter of 2022, continuing delays and further disruptions have led
to an increased backlog, including increased freight costs, and have impacted our ability to deliver products to our customers on time or at all. While we began to experience a modest recovery starting in the second half of 2020 and continuing into
2021, the recovery slowed again in the first quarter of 2022 due to a resurgence of the Omicron variant. We again are beginning to see the recovery resume in the second quarter of 2022 which we expect to continue during the remainder of 2022, though
the exact timing and pace of recovery are unknown given uncertainty surrounding responsive measures to the spread of virus variants or any potential future resurgences of the virus and the significant disruption that our customers have already
experienced and may continue to experience. We are monitoring indicators of demand recovery, including our sales pipeline, customer orders and product shipments to ascertain an estimate of the ultimate impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business;
however, the length and ultimate severity of the reduction in demand due to the pandemic remains uncertain.
Balance Sheet, Cash Flow and Liquidity.
We have taken the following actions to increase liquidity and strengthen our financial position in an effort to mitigate the negative impacts from the COVID-19
pandemic:
| ● |
Public Offering – On October 16, 2020 and August 16, 2021, the Company raised net proceeds of
$
|
| ● |
PPP Loan – On May 1, 2020, the Company was granted a $
|
| ● |
Employee Retention Credit – Under the provisions of the CARES Act, the Company was eligible for a refundable employee retention credit subject to certain criteria. In
connection with the CARES Act, the Company recognized the employee retention credit during the fourth quarter of 2021 as a $1.5 million “Gain from employee retention credit” in the Consolidated Statement of Operations for the year ended
December 31, 2021 and recorded a $1.5 million “Employee retention credit receivable” in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021. We expect to receive these funds during 2022
.
|
| ● |
Credit Facility – On March 13, 2020, we entered into a credit facility with Siena Lending Group LLC that provides a revolving credit line of up to $
|
| ● |
Reduced Capital Expenditures – We limited capital expenditures during 2020 and gradually increased expenses during 2021 as our sales improved.
|
We are planning to implement additional expense management measures starting in the second quarter of 2022 to those implemented in 2020
and 2021, but no definitive plans are yet finalized. In addition to the planned expense management actions, we may also further modify or supplement the actions we have taken to increase liquidity as the timing and extent of customer demand recovery
develops and supply chains normalize.
8
After reviewing whether conditions and/or events raise substantial doubt about our ability to meet future financial obligations over the
12 months following the date on which the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q were issued, including consideration of the actions taken to manage expenses and liquidity, we believe that our net
cash to be provided by operations combined with our cash and cash equivalents and borrowing availability under our revolving credit facility will provide sufficient liquidity to fund our current obligations, capital spending, and working capital
requirements and to comply with the financial covenants of our credit facility over at least 12 months following the date that the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements were issued.
Use of Assumptions and Estimates
Management’s belief that the Company will be able to fund its planned operations over the 12 months following the date on which the
Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements were issued is based on assumptions which involve significant judgment and estimates of future revenues, capital expenditures and other operating costs. Our current assumptions are that casinos and
restaurants remain open and consumer traffic continues to increase during 2022, but that casinos and restaurants may delay purchases of new slot machines and our BOHA! products, respectively, due to labor shortages and supply issues caused by the
pandemic. Based on these assumptions, we anticipate that sales in casino and gaming and food service technology may continue to be negatively impacted for the foreseeable future. We have performed a sensitivity analysis on these assumptions to
forecast the potential impact of a slower-than-anticipated recovery and believe that we are positioned to withstand the impact of lower-than-anticipated sales and that we will be able to take additional financial and operational actions to cut costs
and/or increase liquidity, if necessary. These actions may include additional expense reductions and capital raising activities.
In addition, the presentation of the accompanying unaudited financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that
affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Our estimates include those related to revenue recognition, accounts receivable, inventory obsolescence, goodwill and
intangible assets, the valuation of deferred tax assets and liabilities, depreciable lives of equipment, warranty obligations, share-based compensation and contingent liabilities. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other
assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ from those estimates used.
2. Revenue
We account for revenue in accordance with ASC Topic 606: Revenue from Contracts with Customers.
Disaggregation of revenue
The following table disaggregates our revenue by market type, as we believe it best depicts how the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of our revenue and cash flows are
affected by economic factors. Sales and usage-based taxes are excluded from revenues.

Contract balances
Contract assets consist of unbilled receivables. Pursuant to the over-time revenue recognition model, revenue may be recognized prior
to the customer being invoiced. An unbilled receivable is recorded to reflect revenue that is recognized when such revenue exceeds the amount invoiced to the customer. Unbilled receivables are separated into current and non-current assets and included
within “Accounts receivable” and “Other non-current assets” in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Contract liabilities consist of customer pre-payments and deferred revenue. Customer prepayments are reported as “Accrued liabilities”
in current liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and represent customer payments made in advance of performance obligations in instances where credit has not been extended and are recognized as revenue when the performance obligation
is complete. Deferred revenue is reported separately in current liabilities and non-current liabilities and consists of our extended warranty contracts, technical support for our food service technology terminals, EPICENTRAL® maintenance contracts and
prepaid software subscriptions for our BOHA! software applications, and is recognized as revenue as (or when) we perform under the contract.
For the
three
months ended
March 31, 2022
, we recognized revenue of $
0.4
million related to our contract liabilities at
December 31, 2021

Remaining performance obligations
Remaining performance obligations represent the transaction price of firm orders for which a good or service has not been delivered to
our customer. As of March 31, 2022, the aggregate amount of transaction prices allocated to remaining performance obligations was $
13.6
million. The Company expects to recognize revenue of $
13.2
million of its remaining performance obligations within the next
12 months
following March 31, 2022, $
0.3
million within the next
and the balance of these

4. Accrued product warranty liability
We generally provide warranties on our hardware products for up to
24
months and record the estimated cost of such product warranties at the time the sale is recorded. Estimated warranty costs are based upon actual past experience of product
repairs and the related estimated cost of labor and material to make the necessary repairs.

The following table summarizes the activity recorded in the accrued product warranty liability during the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021:

As of March 31, 2022, $

thousand of the accrued product warranty liability was classified as current in “Accrued liabilities” in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and
the remaining $
18
thousand was classified as non-current in “Other liabilities”.
5. Debt
On March 13, 2020, we entered into a credit facility (the “Siena Credit Facility”) with Siena Lending Group LLC. The Siena Credit
Facility provides for a revolving credit line of up to $
10.0
million expiring on
March 13, 2023
. Borrowings under the Siena Credit Facility bear a floating rate of interest equal to the greatest of (i) the prime rate plus
1.75
%, (ii) the federal funds rate plus
2.25
%, and (iii)
6.50
%. The total deferred financing costs related to expenses incurred to complete the Siena Credit Facility was $
245
thousand, which were reported as “Other current assets” in current assets and “Other assets” in non-current assets in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. We also pay a
fee of
0.50
% on unused borrowings under the Siena Credit Facility. Borrowings under the Siena Credit Facility are secured by a lien on
substantially all the assets of the Company.
The Siena Credit Facility imposes a financial covenant on the Company and borrowings are subject to a borrowing base based on (i)
85
% of eligible accounts receivable plus the lesser of (a) $
5.0
million and (b)
50
% of eligible raw material and
60
%
of finished goods inventory. The three-month period from April 1, 2020 to June 30, 2020 was the first period we were subject to the financial covenant, which required the Company to maintain a minimum EBITDA and continued through the 12-month period
from April 1, 2020 to March 31, 2021. On
July 21,
2021, the Company entered into an amendment (the “Credit Facility Amendment”) to the Siena Credit Facility. The
Credit Facility Amendment changed the financial covenant under the Siena Credit Facility from a minimum EBITDA covenant to an excess availability covenant requiring that the Company maintain excess availability of at least $
750
thousand under the Siena Credit Facility, tested as of the end of each calendar month, beginning with the calendar month ending July 31, 2021. During
the first quarter of 2022, we have been in compliance with our excess availability covenant, and as of March 31, 2022, we had
no
outstanding borrowings under the Siena Credit Facility and $
3.5
million of borrowing capacity available under the Siena Credit Facility.
On May 1, 2020 (the “Loan Date”), the Company was granted
the PPP Loan from Berkshire Bank in the aggregate amount of $
2.2
million, pursuant to the PPP.
Under the terms of the PPP, the PPP Loan would be forgiven to the extent that funds from the PPP Loan were used for payroll costs and costs to continue group health care benefits, as well as for
interest on mortgage obligations incurred before February 15, 2020, rent under lease agreements in effect before February 15, 2020, utilities for which service began before February 15, 2020, and interest on debt obligations incurred before February
15, 2020, subject to conditions and limitations provided in the CARES Act. At least 60% (under the PPP terms, as amended) of the proceeds from the PPP Loan were required to be used for eligible payroll costs for the PPP Loan to be forgiven.
The PPP Loan, which was evidenced by a Note dated the Loan Date issued by the Company (the “Note”) in favor of Berkshire Bank, as
lender (the “PPP Lender”), was scheduled to mature on
May 1, 2022
and had a fixed interest rate of
1.0
%
per annum,
accruing from the Loan Date and payable monthly. The Company submitted its PPP Loan forgiveness application in May 2021 to the SBA through Berkshire Bank and submitted the related loan necessity questionnaire in June 2021. On July 8, 2021, the
Company received notifications from Berkshire Bank and the SBA that its PPP Loan (including all interest accrued thereon) of $
2.2
million had
been fully forgiven by the SBA and that the forgiveness payment date was July 1, 2021. No payments were due on the PPP Loan for six months from the date of first disbursement, and because a loan forgiveness application was submitted to the SBA within
10 months after the end of the covered period, no payments were due until the date on which the SBA remitted the loan forgiveness amount to the PPP Lender and interest that accrued during the deferment period was included in the forgiveness amount.
The forgiveness of the PPP Loan was reported as “Gain on forgiveness of long-term debt” in the Consolidated Statement of Operations during the year ended December 31, 2021.

The computation of diluted earnings per share excludes the effect of the potential exercise of stock awards, including stock options and
restricted stock units, when the average market price of the common stock is lower than the exercise price of the related stock award during the period, as the inclusion of these stock awards in the computation of diluted earnings would be
anti-dilutive. For the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, there were
943
thousand and
705
thousand, respectively, of potentially dilutive shares consisting of stock awards that were excluded from the calculation of earnings per diluted share. Furthermore, in
periods when a net loss is reported, such as the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, basic and diluted net loss per common share are calculated using the same method.
7. Leases
We account for leases in accordance with ASC Topic 842: Leases.
We enter into lease agreements for the use of real estate space and certain equipment under operating leases and we have no financing
leases. Our leases are included in “Right-of-use-assets” and “Lease liabilities” in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. Our leases have remaining lease terms of
one year
to
four years
, some of which include options to extend. Our leases with options to extend provide for
extensions of
to
five years
with
the ability to terminate the lease within
one year
.
On April 30,
2021, we entered into an amendment to modify the expiration date of our lease on our Hamden, Connecticut facility.
The lease, which was last amended on January 3, 2017, was scheduled to expire on April 30, 2027. The lease amendment modified
the expiration date to October 31, 2023 with an option to extend the lease for an additional
two-year
period, extending the expiration date to
October 31, 2025. The modification resulted in reducing the right-of-use-asset and lease liability by $
0.3
million
.
Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Operating lease expense for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 was $
237
thousand and $
243
thousand, respectively, and is reported as “Cost of sales”, “Engineering, design and product
development expense”, “Selling and marketing expense”, and “General and administrative expense” in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Operating lease expenses include short-term lease costs, which were immaterial during the periods
presented.

8. Income taxes
We recorded an income tax benefit for the first quarter of 2022 of $
1.3
million at an effective tax rate of
23.9
%, compared to an income tax benefit during the first quarter of 2021 of $
0.6
million at an effective tax rate of
20.1
%. The effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2022 is higher than the effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2021 as we are estimating an increase in the R&D
credit in 2022 compared to 2021 due to expected investment spending for our BOHA! products.
We are subject to U.S. federal income tax, as well as income tax in certain U.S. state and foreign jurisdictions. We have substantially
concluded all U.S. federal, state and local income tax, and foreign tax regulatory examination matters through 2017. However, our federal tax returns for the years 2018 through 2020 remain open to examination. Various U.S. state and foreign tax
jurisdiction tax years remain open to examination as well, but we believe that any additional assessment would be immaterial to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
As of March 31, 2022, we
had $
144
thousand of total gross unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would favorably affect the effective income tax rate in any
future periods. We expect that $
28
thousand of the $
144
thousand of unrecognized tax benefits will reverse in 2022 upon the expiration of the statute of limitations.
We recognize interest and penalties related to uncertain
tax positions in the income tax provision reported as “Deferred tax assets” in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. As of
March 31, 2022
, we had
$
24
thousand of accrued interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions. The Company maintains a valuation allowance against certain deferred tax assets where realization is not certain.
9. Subsequent events
The Company has evaluated all events or transactions that occurred up to the date the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements were
available to be issued. Based upon this review, the Company did not identify any additional subsequent events that would have required adjustment or disclosure in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Forward Looking Statements
Certain statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2022 (this
“Report”), including without limitation, statements in this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, which are not historical facts are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the U.S. federal
securities laws, including the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements generally can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology, such as “may”, “will”, “expect”, “intend”, “estimate”, “anticipate”,
“believe”, “project”, “plan” or “continue” or the negative thereof or other similar words. The Company cautions readers not to place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements, each of which involves certain risks and uncertainties,
including, but not limited to, those listed in Part 1, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 (our “2021 Form 10-K”), and in our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Such risks
and uncertainties could cause actual results to differ materially from those discussed in, or implied by, the forward-looking statements. Any such risks and uncertainties may also be exacerbated by the ultimate impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the
emergence of virus variants, which is unknown at this time, or by the Russia-Ukraine conflict and its impact on freight costs. In addition, statements made in this Report about the COVID-19 pandemic and the potential effects and impacts of the
COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s business, financial condition, liquidity and results of operations may constitute forward-looking statements due to factors and future developments that are uncertain, unpredictable and, in many cases, beyond our
control, including the scope, duration and extent of the pandemic, actions taken by governmental authorities and businesses in response to the pandemic and any resurgences or variants, vaccination rates and the direct and indirect impact of the
pandemic on our employees, customers and third parties with which we conduct business, including difficulties or delays in manufacturing or delivery of inventory or other supply chain disruptions. Although management has taken steps to mitigate the
negative effect of such risks and uncertainties, including the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, significant unfavorable changes could severely impact the assumptions used. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made, and we do
not undertake any obligation to update them to reflect the impact of subsequent events or circumstances, except as required by law. As used in this Report, unless the context otherwise requires, references to “we”, “us”, “our”, the “Company” and
“TransAct” refer to the consolidated operations of TransAct Technologies Incorporated and its consolidated subsidiaries.
Overview
TransAct is a global leader in developing and selling software-driven technology and printing solutions for high-growth markets
including food service technology, point of sale (“POS”) automation and casino and gaming. Our world-class products are designed from the ground up based on market and customer requirements and are sold under the BOHA!™, AccuDate™, Epic, EPICENTRAL®
and Ithaca® brand names. During 2019, we launched a new line of products for the food service technology market, the BOHA! branded suite of cloud-based applications and companion hardware solutions. The BOHA! software and hardware products help
restaurants, convenience stores and food service operators of all sizes automate food production in the back-of-house operations. Known and respected worldwide for innovative designs and real-world service reliability, our thermal printers and
terminals generate top-quality labels, coupons and transaction records such as receipts, tickets and other documents. We sell our technology to original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”), value-added resellers, select distributors and directly to
end-users. Our product distribution spans across the Americas, Europe, the Middle East, Africa, Asia, Australia, New Zealand, the Caribbean Islands and the South Pacific. We also offer world-class service, support, labels, spare parts, accessories and
printing supplies to our growing worldwide base of products currently in use by our customers. Through our TransAct Services Group (“TSG”), we provide a complete range of supplies and consumables used in the printing activities of customers in the
restaurant and hospitality, retail, casino and gaming, and government markets. Through our webstore, www.transactsupplies.com, and our direct selling team, we address the demand for these products.
We operate in one reportable segment, the design, development, and marketing of software-driven technology and printing solutions for high growth markets, and provide related services, supplies and spare parts.
Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic
During the first two months of 2020, our business trends were in line with internal expectations; however, the challenges posed by the
COVID-19 pandemic on the United States and global economy increased significantly as the first quarter of 2020 progressed and continued throughout the remainder of 2020 and into 2021. Though we began to experience some recovery during 2021 the
recovery slowed again in the first quarter of 2022 due to a resurgence of the Omicron variant, and unfortunately, the massive economic and social disruptions across the world persist due to COVID-19, including the emergence of virus variants, and the
measures implemented to mitigate its spread. The food service and casino and gaming industries have been particularly affected by the pandemic, and we expect such disruptions to continue to negatively impact our overall business for the foreseeable
future.
As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and measures implemented to mitigate its spread, we experienced decreased demand for our products
and lower than anticipated sales beginning in the second half of March 2020 and continuing through 2021 and the first quarter of 2022, particularly in our food service technology and casino and gaming markets. We experienced some improvement in demand
during the second half of 2020 continuing through 2021 and the first quarter of 2022 compared to the second quarter of 2020, as state and local governments lifted certain measures implemented earlier in 2020 to mitigate the spread of the virus, but
demand remained lower than 2019. While we expect this improvement to continue during 2022 as compared to 2021, the exact timing and pace of recovery is unknown. We have also experienced supply chain disruptions, including delayed product shipments
from our two contract manufacturers located in Thailand and China that conduct almost all of our printer and BOHA! hardware manufacturing, due to reduced operations and part shortages at these facilities. Our inventory levels decreased significantly
during 2021 due to these supply chain disruptions, and although we have been able to increase inventory levels during the first quarter of 2022, continuing delays and further disruptions have led to an increased backlog, including increased freight
costs, and have impacted our ability to deliver products to our customers on time or at all. Below is a discussion of the impact we have experienced from the COVID-19 pandemic, and that we believe will continue to experience for the foreseeable future
in each of our markets.
14
Food service
technology and POS automation
.
In both our food service technology and POS automation markets, many restaurants and food service
establishments that were closed during much of the second quarter of 2020 started to reopen in the third quarter of 2020 as state and local governments began to ease restrictions put in place in response to the pandemic. Many of our customers
initially opened under restrictions that limited them to providing drive-through, take-out or delivery service without dine-in options, as well as limiting the volume of customers and employees on site at any one time. During the second half of 2020
and throughout 2021 and the first quarter of 2022, as these food service customers reopened for business, we experienced sales improvement compared to the second quarter of 2020. Notwithstanding the gradual resumption of operations that began in the
third quarter of 2020, our food service technology customers continue to recover from the financial impact of the pandemic and we expect new capital expenditures to be a lower priority for them in the near term, which we believe will continue to
negatively impact sales of BOHA! hardware, software and label products. However, food service providers have been and are likely to continue to be required to develop and implement new or enhanced policies and operating procedures regarding cleaning,
sanitizing and social distancing to ensure the safety of their employees and customers. Additionally, our markets have experienced labor shortages and inflation in their food and labor costs. We believe that our BOHA! hardware, software and label
products could prove to be helpful to our food service customers in efficiently and effectively managing and complying with these new procedures, while also helping to overcome staffing issues and inflation, especially as many establishments are and
will likely continue to be operating with reduced staff levels due to the continuing labor shortage.
Casino and gaming
.
In the casino and gaming market, most casinos and other gaming establishments were closed worldwide during most of the second quarter of 2020. Many
casinos began to reopen in late May and early June 2020, but similar to restaurants, casino openings were slow and measured, starting with reduced capacity and limited gameplay based on social distancing guidelines. During the fourth quarter of 2020,
some casinos re-closed due to a resurgence of the pandemic. However, many casinos in the U.S. reopened during the first quarter of 2021 with limited capacity and continued to remain open and further expand capacity during the remainder of 2021. We
anticipate that casinos world-wide will continue to increase capacity over time, barring any new closures or reduced capacity requirements in response to any new resurgence of the pandemic, including the emergence of variants. Though sales of our
casino and gaming products increased during 2021 and the first quarter of 2022, and we expect this trend to continue for the remainder of 2022, casinos continue to recover from the financial impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, and therefore we expect that
certain casinos’ appetite for purchases of new slot machines may be diminished, which may negatively impact sales of casino and gaming printers purchased by slot manufacturers for use in slot machines at casinos during 2022.
Printrex
.
We made a strategic decision to exit the Printrex market as of December 31, 2021 and expect to have no future sales in this market beyond 2021.
TSG
.
Due to closures and reduced operating capacity of restaurants, food service establishments, casinos and other gaming establishments resulting from the
COVID-19 pandemic, sales of spare parts, service and consumable products have declined, and we expect full year sales to remain at reduced levels, due to lower usage while the pandemic persists.
Our gross margin has been negatively impacted, and we expect our gross margin to continue to be negatively impacted, while the COVID-19
pandemic and its economic effects on the markets we serve persists. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, we have experienced (1) lower sales levels compared to pre-pandemic levels, (2) increased material and shipping costs resulting from worldwide
supply disruptions and (3) increased product, contract manufacturing and labor costs resulting from inflation. Though we have implemented price increases during the first and second quarters of 2022 on all our products (except our FST products) to
help mitigate the product cost increases, we believe our gross margin will remain lower than pre-pandemic levels due to fixed manufacturing overhead expenses (such as facility costs, depreciation, etc.) that cannot be reduced or eliminated, even with
the lower sales level.
While we began to experience a modest recovery starting in the second half of 2020 and continuing into 2021 the recovery slowed again
in the first quarter of 2022 due to a resurgence of the Omicron variant. We are beginning to see the recovery resume in the second quarter of 2022 which we expect to continue during the remainder of 2022, though the exact timing and pace of recovery
is unknown given uncertainty surrounding responsive measures to potential future resurgences of the virus, vaccination rates, the emergence of virus variants and the significant disruption that our customers and suppliers have already experienced and
may continue to experience.
15
We have taken the following actions to increase liquidity and strengthen our financial position in an effort to mitigate the negative
impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic:
| ● |
Public Offering – O
n October 16, 2020 and August 16, 2021, the Company raised net
proceeds of $8.7 million and $11.2 million (including the exercise of the underwriters’ overallotment options on October 16, 2020 and August 20, 2021), respectively, after deducting underwriting discounts, commissions and offering expenses,
through underwritten public offerings and sold an aggregate of 1,380,000 and 842,375 shares of common stock, respectively
.
|
| ● |
PPP Loan -
On May 1, 2020, the Company was granted a $2.2 million loan (the “PPP
Loan”) under the Paycheck Protection Program (the “PPP”) administered by the Small Business Administration (“SBA”) established under Division A, Title I of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (“CARES”) Act. On July 8, 2021, we
received notice that the PPP Loan had been forgiven as of July 1, 2021
.
|
| ● |
Employee Retention Credit –Under the provisions of the CARES Act, the Company was eligible for a refundable employee retention credit subject to certain criteria. In
connection with the CARES Act, the Company recognized the employee retention credit during the fourth quarter of 2021 as a $1.5 million “Gain from employee retention credit” in the Consolidated Statement of Operations for the year ended
December 31, 2021 and recorded a $1.5 million “Employee retention credit receivable” in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021. We expect to receive these funds during 2022
.
|
| ● |
Credit Facility -
On March 13, 2020, we entered into a credit facility with Siena
Lending Group LLC that provides a revolving credit line of up to $10.0 million, subject to a borrowing base
.
|
| ● |
Reduced Capital Expenditures - We limited capital expenditures during 2020 and gradually increased expenses during 2021 as our sales improved.
|
Since the onset of the pandemic, our top priority has been the health and safety of our employees while continuing to provide our
customers with high-quality, personalized service. On March 20, 2020, we instituted work-from-home practices for the majority of our employees to reduce the spread of COVID-19 and to comply with government mandates. Because most of our employees
already had laptop computers with remote access into our IT systems, we experienced only minor reductions in productivity and minimal costs related to the implementation of our work-from-home practices. In addition, even with the move to a
work-from-home environment, our internal control structure remained operational and unchanged.
As of October 4, 2021, all of our employees were fully vaccinated against COVID-19 and, as a result, we implemented a return-to-work
plan, reopening all of our facilities and ending our work-from-home practices. Our distribution centers, deemed an essential service, remained operational throughout the pandemic. During 2020, we implemented new COVID-19 policies, most of which were
still in place prior to ending our work-from-home practices, to specifically address health and safety guidelines for employees to adhere to and follow when at work. These policies were based on the COVID-19 safety guidelines recommended by the
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
We have evaluated the recoverability of the assets on our
unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of March 31, 2022 i
n accordance with relevant authoritative accounting literature. We considered the disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, including lower than previously forecasted
sales and customer demand and macroeconomic factors potentially impacting accounts receivable, inventory, investments, intangible assets, goodwill and other assets and liabilities. Where forward-looking estimates are required, we made a good-faith
estimate based on information available as of the balance sheet date. We have continued to monitor for indicators of impairment through the date of this Report and reflected any impairments accordingly in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated
Financial Statements.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, there is no assurance that the actions we have taken in response to the pandemic are sufficient or
adequate, and we may be required to take additional preventive or responsive measures, as the ultimate extent of the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company, our financial condition, results of operations, liquidity, and cash flows are
uncertain and are dependent on evolving developments which cannot be predicted at this time. See Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors”, of our 2021 Form 10-K for further discussion of risks related to COVID-19.
Critical Accounting Judgments and Estimates
Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our Condensed Consolidated Financial
Statements, which have been prepared by us in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The presentation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported
amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Our estimates include those related to revenue recognition, accounts receivable, inventory obsolescence, goodwill and intangible assets, the
valuation of deferred tax assets and liabilities, depreciable lives of equipment, warranty obligations, share-based compensation and contingent liabilities. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we
believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. There have been no material changes in our critical accounting judgements and estimates from the information presented in Part II, Item 7. “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations,” in our 2021 Form 10-K.

International sales do not include sales of printers and terminals made to domestic distributors or other domestic customers who may, in turn, ship those printers and
terminals to international destinations.
|
Net sales for the first quarter of 2022 increased $1.4
million, or 17%, compared to the first quarter of 2021. Printer, terminal and other hardware unit sales volume increased 25% to approximately 23,000 units, due primarily to a sales
volume increase in the casino and gaming market of 61%. The
volume increase was partially offset by a decrease in FST hardware volume
of 64% in the first quarter of 2022 compared to the first quarter of 2021.
The average
selling price of our printers, terminals and other hardware decreased 7% during the first quarter of 2022 compared to the first quarter of 2021 primarily due to a lower level of FST hardware sales, which sell at higher prices than our other products.
In addition to the sales volume increases, FST software, labels and other recurring revenue increased $0.4 million, or 30%, in the first quarter of 2022 compared to the first quarter of 2021.
International sales for the first quarter of 2022 increased $1.3 million, or 99%, from the same period in 2021 primarily due to
increased sales in the international casino and gaming market, and to a lesser extent, increased sales in the international TSG market.
Food service
technology:
Our primary offering in the food service technology market is our BOHA! ecosystem, which combines our latest generation terminal/workstation, cloud-based software applications and related hardware into a unique solution to
automate back-of-house operations in restaurants, convenience stores and food service operations. The software component of BOHA! consists of a suite of software-as-a-service (“SaaS”)-based applications for both Android and iOS operating systems,
including applications for temperature monitoring of food and equipment, timers, food safety labeling, media libraries, checklists and task lists, and equipment service management. These applications can be combined into a single platform with the
associated hardware, which includes the BOHA! terminal/workstation, handheld devices, tablets, temperature probes and temperature sensors. The BOHA! terminal combines the software and hardware components in a device that includes an operating system,
touchscreen and one or two thermal print mechanisms that print easy-to-read food rotation labels, grab-and-go labels for prepared foods, and “enjoy by” date labels. The BOHA! workstation uses an iPad or Android tablet instead of an integrated
touchscreen. Both the BOHA! terminal and BOHA! workstation are equipped with the TransAct Enterprise Management System to ensure that only approved applications and functions are available on the device and allows over-the-air updates to the
applications and operating system. BOHA! helps food service establishments and restaurants (including fine dining, casual dining, fast casual and quick-serve restaurants, convenience stores, hospitality establishments and contract food service
providers) effectively manage food safety and grab-and-go initiatives, as well as automate and manage back-of-house operations. Recurring revenue from BOHA! is generated by software sales, including software subscriptions that are typically charged to
customers annually on a per-application basis, as well as sales of labels, extended warranty and service contracts, and technical support services.

The decrease in food service technology sales for the first
quarter of 2022 compared to the first quarter of 2021
was driven by a decrease in sales of hardware. Hardware sales decreased 64% in the first quarter of 2022 compared to 2021 due largely to lower sales to a national convenience store
customer and an initial sale to a new national travel center customer completed in the first quarter of 2021 that did not reoccur in 2022. The decrease in hardware sales was partially offset by increased sales of BOHA! software recognized on a SaaS
subscription basis, labels and other recurring revenue, which increased by 30%, primarily due to increased label sales and, to a lesser extent, increased software sales, compared to the prior year period due to the growth of the installed base of our
BOHA! terminals and workstations.
POS automation:
Revenue
from the POS automation market includes sales of thermal printers used primarily by McDonald’s, and to a lesser extent, other quick serve restaurants either at the checkout counter or within self-service kiosks to print receipts for consumers or print
on linerless labels.

The increase in POS automation sales during the first quarter of 2022 compared to the first quarter of 2021 was driven by a 12% increase
in domestic sales of our Ithaca® 9000 printer, primarily to McDonald’s, as POS automation sales continue to improve in 2022 compared to the negative impact that the COVID-19 pandemic had on POS automation sales during the first three months of 2021.
We expect sales of POS automation printers to be significantly higher in the second half of 2022 compared to the first quarter of 2022 based on the backlog of orders we have received for McDonald’s.
Casino and gaming:
Revenue
from the casino and gaming market includes sales of thermal ticket printers used in slot machines, video lottery terminals, and other gaming machines that print tickets or receipts instead of issuing coins at casinos and racetracks and other gaming
venues worldwide. Revenue from this market also includes sales of thermal roll-fed printers used in the international off-premise gaming market in gaming machines such as Amusement with Prizes, Skills with Prizes and Fixed Odds Betting Terminals at
non-casino gaming and sports betting establishments. Revenue from this market also includes royalties related to our patented casino and gaming technology. In addition, casino and gaming market revenue includes sales of the EPICENTRAL print system,
our software solution (including annual software maintenance), that enables casino operators to create promotional coupons and marketing messages and to print them in real time at the slot machine.

The increase in domestic sales of our casino and gaming products
for the first quarter of 2022 compared to the first quarter of 2021 was primarily
due to a 43% increase in domestic sales of our thermal casino printers, driven by higher sales to OEMs as the market continued to recover from the
negative impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The increase in international casino and gaming sales during the first quarter of 2022 compared to the first quarter of 2021 was due to
a 71% increase in sales of our thermal casino printers and a 397% increase in international sales of our off-premise gaming printers. These increases are attributable to the recovery of the international markets after significant negative impacts from
the COVID-19 pandemic. The international casino and gaming market recovered at a slower pace during 2021 compared to the domestic casino and gaming market.

During 2021, we decided to exit the Printrex business and in the fourth quarter of 2021 fulfilled last buy orders to our legacy
customers. We expect no future Printrex sales as we have shifted our focus away from this market and towards our higher value, technology-enabled food service technology terminals and casino and gaming products.

The decrease in domestic revenue from TSG during the first quarter of 2022 as compared to the first quarter of 2021 was due to lower
sales of legacy replacement parts, service revenue, and consumable products. Replacement part sales decreased 14% primarily from lower lottery printer spare part sales to IGT, which can vary significantly from quarter to quarter. Service revenue
declined 24%, primarily related to declining revenue from a service contract with a legacy banking customer that is expected to expire during 2022. Consumable sales declined 23%, due to decreased sales of consumable products for our legacy products on
which we are no longer focusing.
Internationally, TSG revenue increased in the first quarter of 2022 compared to the first quarter of 2021 primarily due to a 576%
increase in sales of replacement parts, as we made a sale of obsolete electronic components to international customers.

Gross profit is measured as revenue less cost of sales, which includes primarily the cost of all raw materials and component parts,
direct labor, manufacturing overhead expenses, cost of finished products purchased directly from our contract manufacturers, expenses associated with installations and support of our EPICENTRAL print system and BOHA! ecosystem and royalty payments to
third parties, including to the third-party licensor of our food service technology software products.
For the first quarter of 2022, gross profit decreased $0.2 million, or
6%, due primarily to increased product and shipping costs related to world-wide supply chain shortages and disruptions offsetting a sales increase of $1.4 million. Additionally, our gross margin decreased 750 basis points to 30.9% for the first
quarter of 2022 compared to 38.4% for the first quarter of 2021 due to the increased product and shipping costs noted above. We expect our gross margin to continue to be negatively impacted by higher product and shipping costs throughout 2022, but
this impact should be mitigated by price increases instituted during the first quarter of 2022 that will be fully realized beginning in the second quarter of 2022.

Engineering, design and product development expenses increased $0.5 million, or 27%, for the first quarter of 2022 compared to the
first quarter of 2021,

Selling and marketing expenses primarily include salaries and payroll-related expenses for our sales, marketing and customer success

Selling and marketing expenses increased by $1.2 million, or 86%, for the first quarter of 2022 compared to the first quarter of 2021 due primarily to investment spending for our food service technology sales and marketing
groups. During the first quarter of 2022, we initiated BOHA! market studies, increased marketing programs and hired additional employees in our BOHA! sales and marketing groups. In addition to these investments, we experienced higher sales
commissions, travel expenses and tradeshow expense, as travel begins to return to pre-COVID-19 levels, compared to the lower levels of spending in the first quarter of 2021 resulting from the negative impacts of COVID-19.
We expect selling
and marketing expenses to increase in 2022 compared to 2021, as we plan to continue to make substantial strategic investments in our food service technology sales and attend more trade shows in 2022 compared to 2021.

General and administrative expenses increased $0.6 million, or 23%, during the first quarter of 2022 compared to the first
quarter of 2021. The increase is primarily due to higher compensation expense for existing employees, higher recruiting fees related to BOHA! engineering and sales and marketing staff hired during the first quarter of 2022 and expenses related to
the implementation of a new ERP system that was completed in April 2022 and legal fees related to a shareholder matter that was resolved on March 30, 2022 when we entered into a Cooperation Agreement with two shareholders.

Our operating loss increased $2.5 million, or 94%, in the first quarter of 2022 compared to the first quarter of 2021 due to the
decrease in our gross margin of 750 basis points and the 40% increase in operating expenses, largely for BOHA! investment spending, during the first quarter of 2022 compared to the first quarter of 2021.
20
Interest.
We
recorded net interest expense of $64 thousand for the first quarter of 2022 compared to $13 thousand for the first quarter of 2021. The increase in interest expense was primarily due to losses reported in our short-term investment accounts during the
first quarter of 2022. The first quarter of 2021 included interest income earned from a note receivable to a third-party software developer that was collected in March 2021.
Other, net.
We recorded other expense of $35 thousand for the first quarter of 2022 compared to other expense of $83 thousand for the first quarter of 2021
primarily due to foreign
exchange losses recorded by our UK subsidiary. Going forward, we may continue to experience more foreign exchange gains or losses depending on the level of sales to European customers through our UK subsidiary and the fluctuation in exchange rates of
the Euro and Pound Sterling against the U.S. Dollar, which may be impacted by volatility in global economic conditions due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Income Taxes.
We recorded an income tax benefit for the first quarter of 2022 of $1.3 million at an effective tax rate of 23.9%, compared to an income tax benefit during the first quarter of 2021 of $0.6 million at an effective tax rate of 20.1%. The effective tax
rate for the first quarter of 2022 is higher than the effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2021 as we are estimating an increase in the R&D credit in 2022 compared to 2021 due to expected investment spending for our BOHA! products.
Net Loss
.
We reported a net loss for the first quarter of 2022 of $4.0 million, or $0.41 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $2.2 million, or $0.25 per
diluted share, for the first quarter of 2021.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash Flow
For the first three months of 2022,
our cash and cash equivalents balance decreased $7.5 million, or 38%, from December 31, 2021. We ended the first quarter of 2022 with $12.0 million in cash and cash equivalents, of which $2.6 million was held by our U.K. subsidiary.

following significant factors affected our cash used in operating activities of $6.8 million for the first three months of 2022 as compared to cash used in operating activities of $3.1 million for the first three months of 2021:
During the first three
months of 2022:
| ● |
We reported a net loss of $4.0 million.
|
| ● |
We recorded depreciation and amortization of $0.2 million, and share-based compensation expense of $0.3 million.
|
| ● |
Accounts receivable decreased $0.7 million, or 9%, primarily due to a decrease in sales in the first quarter of 2022 compared to the fourth quarter of 2021.
|
| ● |
Inventory increased $1.3 million, or 17%,
due to the strategic purchase of additional
inventory to mitigate supply chain constraints
.
|
| ● |
Other current and long-term assets increased $0.8 million, or 68%, due primarily to customer cash deposits made during the last week of March 2022 that were automatically
swept from our bank account by Siena pursuant to an arrangement made under our credit facility. These funds are typically redeposited to our bank account before each quarter but were not returned until April 1, 2022.
|
| ● |
Accounts payable decreased $0.4 million, or 9%, due primarily to the payment of inventory purchases made during the fourth quarter of 2021.
|
| ● |
Accrued liabilities and other liabilities decreased $0.3 million, or 3%, due primarily to the payment of 2021 annual bonuses in March 2022, somewhat offset by higher
accrued legal expenses and accrued salaries.
|
During the first three
months of 2021:
| ● |
We reported a net loss of $2.2 million.
|
| ● |
We recorded depreciation and amortization of $0.2 million, and share-based compensation expense of $0.3 million.
|
| ● |
Accounts receivable increased $1.3 million, or 40%, primarily due to increased sales volume late in the first quarter of 2021.
|
| ● |
Inventory decreased $1.3 million, or 11%, due to the utilization of inventory on hand to fulfill sales in response to the pandemic.
|
| ● |
Other current and long-term assets increased $0.1 million, or 7%, due largely to advance payments made in the first quarter of 2021 for our annual ERP software
maintenance.
|
| ● |
Accounts payable increased $0.2 million, or 13%, due primarily to the timing of payments during the first quarter of 2021.
|
| ● |
Accrued liabilities and other liabilities decreased $1.0 million, or 13%, due primarily to the payment of 2020 annual bonuses in March 2021.

Investing activities:
Our
capital expenditures were $496 thousand for the first three months 2022 compared to $68 thousand for the first quarter of 2021. Expenditures in 2022 were primarily related to implementation costs of a new ERP system that was completed in April 2022
and computer and networking equipment. Expenditures in 2021 were for computer and networking equipment and new product tooling equipment. In the first quarter of 2021, investing activities also provided $1.6 million from the collection of the
remaining $1.6 million note receivable balance from an unaffiliated third-party.
Financing activities:
Financing
activities used $119 thousand of cash during the first three months of 2022 to pay for withholding taxes on stock issued from our stock compensation plans. During the first three months of 2021, financing activities used $15 thousand of cash to pay
$75 thousand for withholding taxes on stock issued from our stock compensation plans and $31 thousand on the final payment of financing costs associated with our Siena Credit Facility, partially offset by proceeds of $91 thousand from stock option
exercises.
Credit Facility and Borrowings
On March 13, 2020, we entered into the Siena Credit Facility with Siena Lending Group LLC, which provides for a revolving credit line
of up to $10 million expiring on March 13, 2023. Borrowings under the Siena Credit Facility bear a floating rate of interest equal to the greatest of (i) the prime rate plus 1.75%, (ii) the federal funds rate plus 2.25%, and (iii) 6.50%. The total
deferred financing costs related to expenses incurred to complete the Siena Credit Facility were $245 thousand. We also pay a fee of 0.50% on unused borrowings under the Siena Credit Facility. Borrowings under the Siena Credit Facility are secured by
a lien on substantially all the assets of the Company. Borrowings under the Siena Credit Facility are subject to a borrowing base based on (i) 85% of eligible accounts receivable plus the lesser of (a) $5 million and (b) 50% of eligible raw material
and 60% of finished goods inventory.
The Siena Credit Facility imposes a financial covenant on the Company and restricts, among other things, our ability to incur
additional indebtedness and the creation of other liens. The three month period from April 1, 2020 to June 30, 2020 was the first period we were subject to the financial covenant, which required the Company to maintain a minimum EBITDA and continued
through the 12-month period from April 1, 2020 to March 31, 2021. On July 21, 2021, the Company entered into an amendment (the “Credit Facility Amendment”) to the Siena Credit Facility. The Credit Facility Amendment changed the financial covenant
under the Siena Credit Facility from a minimum EBITDA covenant to an excess availability covenant requiring that the Company maintain excess availability of at least $750 thousand under the Siena Credit Facility, tested as of the end of each calendar
month, beginning with the calendar month ending July 31, 2021. From July 31, 2021 to March 31, 2022, we have been in compliance with our excess availability covenant. As of March 31, 2022, we had no outstanding borrowings under the Siena Credit
Facility and $3.5 million of available borrowing capacity under the Siena Credit Facility.
On May 1, 2020 (the “Loan Date”), the Company was granted the PPP Loan with Berkshire Bank in the aggregate amount of $2.2 million,
pursuant to the PPP which is administered by the SBA and was established under Division A, Title I of the CARES Act, enacted March 27, 2020. Under the terms of the PPP, the PPP Loan would be forgiven to the extent that funds from the PPP Loan were
used for payroll costs and costs to continue group health care benefits, as well as for interest on mortgage obligations incurred before February 15, 2020, rent payments under lease agreements in effect before February 15, 2020, utilities for which
service began before February 15, 2020 and interest on debt obligations incurred before February 15, 2020, subject to conditions and limitations provided in the CARES Act. At least 60% (under the PPP terms, as amended) of the proceeds of the PPP Loan
needed to have been used for eligible payroll costs for the PPP Loan to be forgiven.
The PPP Loan, which was evidenced by a Note dated the Loan Date issued by the Company in favor of
Berkshire Bank as a lender, was scheduled to mature on May 1, 2022 and had a fixed interest rate of 1.0% per annum, accruing from the Loan Date and payable monthly. The Company submitted its PPP Loan forgiveness application in May 2021 to the SBA
through Berkshire Bank and submitted the related loan necessity questionnaire in June 2021. On July 8, 2021, the Company received notifications from Berkshire Bank and the SBA that its PPP Loan (including all interest accrued thereon) of $2.2. million
had been fully forgiven by the SBA and that the forgiveness payment date was July 1, 2021. No payments were due on the PPP Loan for six months from the date of first disbursement, and because a loan forgiveness application was submitted to the SBA
within 10 months after the end of the covered period, no payments were due until the date on which the SBA remitted the loan forgiveness amount to the PPP Lender, and interest that accrued during the deferment period was included in the forgiveness
amount. The forgiveness of the PPP Loan was reported as “Gain on forgiveness of long-term debt” in the Consolidated Statement of Operations during the year ending December 31, 2021.

Resource Sufficiency
Given the unprecedented uncertainty related to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the food service and casino industries, the
Company is closely monitoring its cash generation, usage and preservation including the management of working capital to generate cash.
We believe that our cash and cash equivalents on hand, our expected cash flows generated from operating activities, and borrowings
available under our Siena Credit Facility will provide sufficient resources to meet our working capital needs, finance our capital expenditures and meet our liquidity requirements through at least the next twelve months. Notwithstanding this belief,
the duration and extent of the pandemic remains uncertain and its ultimate impact is unknown. Further, availability under the Siena Credit Facility depends in part on inventory levels, which have been impacted and are expected to continue to be
impacted by supply chain disruptions due to the COVID-19 pandemic. As a result, we continue to evaluate several different strategies to enhance our liquidity position as a result of the significant financial and operational impacts due to the COVID-19
pandemic. These strategies may include, but are not limited to, seeking to raise additional capital through an equity or debt financing.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
|
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer (our principal executive officer and
principal financial officer, respectively), evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2022. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is
recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that
information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as
appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives, and management
necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2022, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial
Officer concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
No change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and
15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) occurred during the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2022 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
