Note 1: Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Organization and Nature of Business

 

Since 1967, Dataram Corporation (referred to as “Dataram” or the “Company”) has been a manufacturer of memory products and provider of performance solutions. The Company provides customized memory solutions for original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and compatible memory for leading brands including Cisco, Dell, Fujitsu, HP, IBM, Lenovo and Oracle as well as a line of memory products for Intel and AMD motherboard based servers.

 

Dataram’s customers include a global network of distributors, resellers, retailers, OEM customers and end users.

 

Liquidity and Going Concern

 

At January 31, 2016, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $701,000 and a working capital of approximately $2.1 million. During the nine month period ended January 31, 2016, the Company incurred a net loss of approximately $547,000 which included approximately $666,000 of non-cash stock based compensation expense. As of January 31, 2016, the Company also had an accumulated deficit of approximately $25.0 million. The Company has in recent years primarily financed its operations through the sale of equity securities and debt securities.

 

While the Company has made significant financial and operational changes in the last year which has reduced its cash burn, there still remains substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts of and classification of liabilities that might be necessary in the event the Company cannot continue in existence.

 

If current and projected revenue growth does not meet estimates, the Company may need to raise additional capital through debt and/or equity transactions and further reduce certain overhead costs. The Company cannot provide assurance that financing will close or be available to it on favorable terms.

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial statements and with Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, they do not contain all information and footnotes required by GAAP for annual financial statements. The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. In the opinion of the Company’s management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all the adjustments necessary (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) to present the financial position of the Company as of January 31, 2016 and the results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The results of operations for the nine months ended January 31, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full fiscal year for any future period.

 

These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended April 30, 2015. The Company’s accounting policies are described in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended April 30, 2015, and updated, as necessary, in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, including deferred tax asset valuation allowances and certain other reserves and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Estimates and assumptions are reviewed periodically and the effects of revisions are reflected in the consolidated financial statements in the period they are determined to be necessary. Some of the more significant estimates made by management include allowance for doubtful accounts and sales returns, reserve for inventory obsolescence, deferred income tax asset and related valuation allowance, fair value of certain financial instruments and other operating allowances and accruals. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

Revenue is recognized when title passes upon shipment of goods to customers. The Company’s revenue earning activities involve delivering or producing goods. The following criteria are met before revenue is recognized: persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, shipment has occurred, selling price is fixed or determinable and collection is reasonably assured. The Company does experience a minimal level of sales returns and allowances for which the Company accrues a reserve at the time of sale. Estimated warranty costs are accrued by management upon product shipment based on an estimate of future warranty claims.

 

Net Loss per Share

 

Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss available to common stock holders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock issued and outstanding during the period. The calculation of diluted loss per share for the three and nine months ended January 31, 2016 and 2015 includes only the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding. The denominator excludes the dilutive effect of common shares issuable upon exercise or conversion of stock options, warrants, convertible notes and Series A preferred shares as their effect would be anti-dilutive.

 

Anti-dilutive securities consisted of the following at January 31:

 

    2016   2015
Common stock equivalent of convertible notes           240,000  
Common stock equivalent of convertible notes – related parties     27,210       51,020  
Series A preferred shares           1,566,500  
Series B preferred shares     6,691,170        
Warrants     712,875       2,975,775  
Common shares reserved for series A preferred share dividends           24,912  
Stock options     8,333       256,580  
Total     7,439,588       5,114,787  

 

Reclassification of Prior Year Presentation

 

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified for consistency with the current period presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on the reported financial condition and results of operations.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09 (“ASU 2014-09”), “Revenue from Contracts with Customers,” which requires an entity to recognize revenue representing the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration which the company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 is intended to establish principles for reporting useful information to users of financial statements about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenues and cash flows arising from the entity’s contracts with customers. ASU 2014-09 will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) when it becomes effective. The new standard is effective for the Company on January 1, 2018. Early application is not permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effect that ASU 2014-09 will have on its condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02 (“ASU 2016-02), “Leases (Topic 842).” ASU 2016-02 requires a lessee to recognize a lease liability for the obligation to make lease payments and a right-to-use asset for the right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. ASU 2016-02 is effective for the Company on January 1, 2019. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effect that ASU 2016-02 will have on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

The Company has evaluated the other recent accounting pronouncements through ASU 2016-02 and believe that none of them will have a material effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.
