no obligation to update forward-looking statements if these beliefs, estimates and opinions or other circumstances should change,
except as may be required by applicable law. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements

ITEM
1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
We
are a technology company that develops, sells and services interactive solutions predominantly for the global education market,
but which are also sold into the health, government and corporate sectors. We are seeking to become
a worldwide leading innovator and integrator of interactive products and software for schools, as well as for business
and government learning spaces. We currently design, produce and distribute interactive technologies including flat panels, projectors,
whiteboards and peripherals for the education market. We also distribute science, technology, engineering and math (or
“STEM”) products, including our portable science lab. All of our products are integrated into our classroom software
suite that provides tools for whole class learning, assessment and collaboration. To date, we have generated substantially all
of our revenue in the U.S. from the sale of our software and interactive displays to the educational market. In EMEA approximately
75% of our revenues relate to the education sector and the remainder comes from health, government and corporate including
the banking and financial services sector.
In
the education sector we provide educators with hardware, engineering and manufacturing, software and content development
for use in the classroom. We provide comprehensive services to our clients and customers, including installation, training, consulting
and maintenance. We seek to provide easy-to-use solutions combining interactive displays with robust software to enhance the educational
environment, ease the teacher technology burden, and improve student outcomes. Our goal is to become a single source solution
to satisfy the needs of educators around the globe and provide a holistic approach to the modern classroom. Our products are currently
sold in approximately 60 countries and our software is available in 32 languages, helping children learn in over 850,000 classrooms.
We sell our products and software through more than 500 global reseller partners. We believe we offer the most comprehensive and
integrated line of interactive display solutions, audio products, peripherals and accessories for schools and enterprises. Our
products are backed by nearly 30 years of research and development. We introduced the world’s first interactive projector
in 2007 and obtained patents to the technology in 2010.
Advances
in technology and new options for introduction into the classroom have forced school districts to look for solutions that allow
teachers and students to bring their own devices into the classroom, provide school districts with information technology departments
with the means to access data with or without internet access, handle the demand for video, as well as control cloud and
data storage challenges. Our design teams are able to quickly customize systems and configurations to serve the needs of clients
so that existing hardware and software platforms can communicate with one another. We have created plug-ins for annotative software
that make existing and legacy hardware interactive and allows interactivity with or without wires through our MimioTeach product.
Our goal is to become a single source solution to satisfy the needs of educators around the globe and provide a holistic approach
to the modern classroom.
We
pride ourselves in providing industry-leading service and support and have received numerous product awards:

Since
the Company launched its patented interactive projectors in 2007, we have sold them to public schools in the United States and
in 49 other countries, as well as to the Department of Defense International Schools, and in approximately 3,000 classrooms in
20 countries, including the Job Corp, the Library of Congress, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention,
the Federal Emergency Management Agency, nine foreign governments and the City of Moscow and numerous Fortune 500 companies,
including Verizon, GE Healthcare, Pepsico, First Energy, ADT, Motorola, First Data and Transocean. In addition, we custom
built 4,000 projectors for the Israeli Defense Forces.
The
COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on economies worldwide, resulting in workforce and travel
restrictions, and supply chain and production disruptions across many sectors. While factors have had a significant
impact on our supply chain, the financial performance of our business has actually improved substantially in the last quarter
of 2020 and we anticipate that trend will continue throughout 2021 as demand for our products and solutions in the
education, government and corporate sectors increase. Indeed, we believe that COVID-19 has actually accelerated
the move toward unified communications, thus creating greater demand for our products and solutions.
Please
refer to item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations for discussion of
specific impacts on seasonality and liquidity and capital resources.
Our
Company
Boxlight
Corporation was incorporated in Nevada on September 18, 2014 for the purpose of acquiring technology companies that sell interactive

The
organizational structure of our companies is as follows:
Our
Markets
The
global education industry is undergoing a significant transition, as primary and secondary school districts, colleges and universities,
as well as governments, corporations and individuals around the world are increasingly recognizing the importance of using technology
to more effectively provide information to educate students and other users. In the United States, which represents approximately
40% of our business, we are benefitting from the substantial government investments from the CAREs Act and anticipate the level
of demand for our products to increase substantially further with the passing of President Biden’s $2.2 trillion stimulus
package. To a lesser extent we are seeing similar government stimulus funds drive demand in other parts of Europe.
The
K-12 education sector represents one of the largest industry segments. In the US sector is comprised of approximately 15,600
public school districts across the 50 states and 132,000 public and private elementary and secondary schools. In addition to its
size, the U.S. K-12 education market is highly decentralized and is characterized by complex content adoption processes. We believe
this market structure underscores the importance of scale and industry relationships and the need for broad, diverse coverage
across states, districts and schools. Even while we believe certain initiatives in the education sector, such as the Common Core
State Standards, a set of shared math and literacy standards benchmarked to international standards, have increased standardization
in K-12 education content, we believe significant state standard specific customization still exists, and we believe the need
to address customization provides an ongoing need for companies in the sector to maintain relationships with individual state
and district policymakers and expertise in state-varying academic standards.
According
to “ All Global Market Education & Learning ”, an industry publication, the market for hardware products
is growing due to increases in the use of interactive whiteboards and simulation-based learning hardware. Educational institutions
have become more receptive to the implementation of high-tech learning tools. The advent of technology in the classroom
has enabled multi-modal training and varying curricula. In general, technology-based tools help develop student performance
when integrated with the curriculum. The constant progression of technology in education has helped educators to create classroom
experiences that are interactive, developed and collaborative.
7
Our
Opportunity
We
believe that our Connected Classroom™ solution uniquely positions Boxlight to be the leading provider of EdTech products
within our categories in the global education technology market. Our holistic solution of hardware, software, content and professional
development improves learning progression by increasing student engagement and timely interventions. Coupled with our innovations:
we have a strong brand, operations and supply-chain; our channel into the US and EMEA is very strong and the
global market is growing year-on-year; and a global 24/7 technical and customer services team retains a very high satisfaction
rating.
Globally
it is widely acknowledged that long-term economic growth is
closely correlated to investment in education and educational technology, thus sustaining long-term growth in the market, even
during periods of economic downturn. Further details of our solution and favorable macro-economic analysis are set forth below:
Growth
in U.S. K-12 Market Expenditures
Significant
resources are being devoted to primary and secondary education, both in the United States and abroad. As set forth in the Executive
Office of the President, Council of Economic Advisers report, U.S. education expenditure has been estimated at approximately $1.3
trillion (~6% of U.S. GDP), with K-12 education accounting for close to half ($625 billion) of this spending. Global spending
is roughly triple U.S. spending for K-12 education.
The
market for K-12 services and technology has historically grown above the pace of inflation, averaging 7.2% growth annually since
1969. Deviations around this mean occur during periods of economic growth and recession causing peaks and troughs in the K-12
market, albeit below other sectors.
Justifying
HolonIQ market analysis states that Global EdTech Venture Capital has been $32 billion in the last decade (approximately 33% within
the US) and predicts nearly triple that investment through to 2030. Following that the global “expenditure on education
and training from governments, parents, individuals and corporates continues to grow to historic levels and is expected to reach
USD$10T by 2030”.
Futuresource,
in 2019, stated: “Forecast [for US Interactive Display Market] for the next four years is expected to be strong,
averaging 13% growth per year. The transition to IFPDs will contribute to the market almost doubling in value over five years
to $1.6B in 2023.”
Increasing
Focus on Accountability and the Quality of Student Education
U.S.
K-12 education has come under significant political scrutiny in recent years, with findings that American students rank far behind
other global leaders in international tests of literacy, math and science, with the resulting conclusion that the current state
of U.S. education severely impairs the United States’ economic, military and diplomatic security as well as broader components
of America’s global leadership.
Trends
in Tech-Savvy Education
While
industries from manufacturing to health care have adopted technology to improve their results, according to Stanford Business
School, in its Trends in Tech-Savvy Education , the education field remains heavily reliant on “chalk and talk”
instruction conducted in traditional settings; however, that is changing as schools and colleges adopt virtual classrooms, data
analysis, online games, highly customized coursework, and other cutting-edge tools to help students learn.
New
Technologies
The
delivery of digital education content is also driving a substantial shift in the education market. In addition to whiteboards,
interactive projectors and interactive flat panels, other technologies are being adapted for educational uses on the Internet,
mobile devices and through cloud-computing, which permits the sharing of digital files and programs among multiple computers or
other devices at the same time through a virtual network. We intend to be a leader in the development and implementation of these
additional technologies to create effective digital learning environments.
8
Growth
in the E-learning Market
According
to the “ E-learning Market – Global Outlook and Forecast 2020-2025 ” The e-learning market is
expected to display significant growth opportunities in the next five years. While the growth curve is uniform in terms of the
number of users, the same is not the case by revenues; the average cost of content creation and delivery with the same is undergoing
a consistent decline. However, the advent of cloud infrastructure, peer-to-peer problem solving, open content creation, and rapid
expansion of the target audience has enabled e-learning providers to rein in economies of choice and offer course content at a
competitive price. While the growth prospects of the e-learning market remain stable, the rise of efficient sub-segments is changing
the learning and training landscape gradually.
Vendors
are also focusing on offering choices on the course content at competitive prices to gain the share in the global e-learning market.
The exponential growth in the number of smartphone users and internet connectivity across emerging markets is driving the e-learning
market in these regions. The introduction of cloud-based learning and AR/VR mobile-based learning is likely to revolutionize the
e-learning market during the forecast period.
Major
vendors are introducing technology-enabled tools that can facilitate user engagement, motivate learners, and help in collaborations,
thereby increasing the market share and attracting new consumers to the market. The growing popularity of blended learning that
enhances the efficiency of learners will drive the growth of the e-learning market. The e-learning market is expected to generate
revenue of $65.41 billion by 2023, growing at a CAGR of 7.07% during the forecast period.
Natural
User Interfaces (NUIs)
Tablets
and the new class of “smart TVs” are part of a growing list of other devices built with natural user interfaces that
accept input in the form of taps, swipes, and other ways of touching; hand and arm motions; body movement; and increasingly, natural
language. Natural user interfaces allow users to engage in virtual activities with movements similar to what they would use in
the real world, manipulating content intuitively. The idea of being able to have a completely natural interaction with a device
is not new, but neither has its full potential been realized. For example, medical students increasingly rely on simulators employing
natural user interfaces to practice precise manipulations, such as catheter insertions, that would be far less productive if they
had to try to simulate sensitive movements with a mouse and keyboard. NUIs make devices seem easier to use and more accessible,
and interactions are far more intuitive, which promotes exploration and engagement. (NMC Horizon Project Technology Outlook
STEM+ Education 2012-2017 ).

MimioTeach
Interactive Whiteboard
Boxlight’s
MimioTeach is one of our best known and longest-lived products. Hundreds of thousands of MimioTeach interactive whiteboards and
its predecessor models are used in classrooms around the world. MimioTeach can turn any whiteboard (retrofit) into an interactive
whiteboard in as little as 30 seconds. This portable product fits into a tote bag with room for a small desktop projector, which
is attractive to teachers who move from classroom to classroom. For schools where “change is our normal,” MimioTeach
eliminates the high cost of moving fixed-mount implementations.
MimioFrame
Touch Kit
MimioFrame
can turn a projection (dry-erase) board into an Interactive Whiteboard in 10-15 minutes. Millions of classrooms already have a
conventional whiteboard and a non-interactive projector. MimioFrame uses infrared (IR) technology embedded in the four sides of
the frame to turn that non-interactive combination into a modern 10-touch-interactive Digital Classroom. No drilling or cutting
is required, MimioFrame easily and quickly attaches with industrial-strength double-sided tape.
MimioBoard
Touch Interactive Whiteboard
Boxlight’s
MimioBoard Interactive Touch Boards are available in 78” 4:3 aspect ratio and 87” 16:10 aspect ratio. These boards
provide sophisticated interactivity with any projector because the touch interactivity is built into the board. Unlike many competitive
products, Boxlight’s touch boards are suited for use with dry erase markers. Many competitive products advise against using
dry erase markers because their boards stain. Boxlight’s touch boards use a porcelain-on-steel surface for durability and
dry erase compatibility. The Boxlight Touch Boards are also much lighter weight than most competitive products which results in
faster, easier and a lower cost installation process.
Non-Interactive
Projectors
We
distribute a full line of standard, non-interactive projectors. The Cambridge Series features embedded wireless display functions
and is available in short and standard throw options. Offering brightness from 2,700 to 4,000 lumens, we furnish projectors for
small classrooms to large classrooms with the Cambridge platform. This series is available in both XGA and WXGA resolutions to
replace projectors on existing interactive whiteboards in classrooms operating on limited budgets. The Company has designed
this platform to provide easy user maintenance with side-changing lamps and filters and developed HEPA filtration systems for
harsh environments.
12
Over
the past several years, working together with strategic allies, we have provided customized products that fit specific
needs of customers, such as the Israeli Ministry of Defense. Working with Nextel Systems, the Company delivered approximately
4,000 projectors, with special kitting performance, asset tagging, custom start up screens, operating defaults appropriate for
harsh environments, and other unique product specifications. The Company also met requirements that each projector contain
at least 51% U.S. content and be assembled in the United States. A service center was appointed in Israel to provide warranty
service and support. The US Army in connection with the Israeli Defense Forces found the Company to be the only manufacturer
able to meet the stringent requirements, leading not only to the original multi-year contract, but to extensions for favorable
execution and performance.
Classroom
Audio Category
Not
every classroom is acoustically efficient and not every child
has normal hearing. However, learning is noticeably enhanced when each child receives clear, intelligible instruction throughout
the day, regardless of class size, background noise, seat location, or if the child has a mild hearing loss. Audio systems are
becoming standard for new construction and refurbishment projects, and the federal government passed the Americans With Disabilities
Act (ADA) and provides funding support for such solutions. For this reason, Boxlight has launched this new category and
the debut product is MimioClarity.
MimioClarity™
MimioClarity
is a premium offering that distributes audio around the classroom and integrates with the front-of-class display. The system is
designed to improve learning outcomes by reducing noise, increasing word recognition and improving student engagement. It has
a combined 60W amplifier and microphone receiver, comes both a teacher and student microphone, with an option of a two or four
speaker-system. Consistent with other Boxlight offerings the focus has been to keep the user experience as simple as possible
and the costs of implementation and ownership as low as possible.
STEM
Category
Through
the acquisitions of Modern Robotics, Robo3D and MyStemKits, Boxlight has added to its portfolio a growing category of STEM
(science, technology, engineering and math) products.
Mimio

Mimio MyBot system bridges the gap between learning about robotics in the classroom and the application of robotics in the real
world. Our intuitive and accessible system helps students develop core skills in programming, engineering, and robotics. We provide
a system to facilitate learning and ignite a passion in students with the freedom and flexibility to build, code, and test new
and unique models. Mimio MyBot allows students to explore and learn freely while removing common obstacles such as requiring network
infrastructure changes or expensive workstations.
Robo3D
Robo
E3, Robo E3 Pro (Coming Soon) and Robo C2 are smart, safe, and simple 3D printers that come with access to over 300+ lessons of
3D printable STEM curriculum, replacement materials and accessories.

MimioView
document camera
Boxlight’s
MimioView 350Uis a 4K document camera that is integrated with MimioStudio to make the combination easy to use with a single cable
connection that carries power, video, and control. MimioView 350U is fully integrated into our MimioStudio software solution and
is controlled through MimioStudio’s applications menu. With two clicks, the teacher or user can turn on, auto-focus, and
illuminate the included LED lights for smooth high-definition images.
13
E ducational
Software Category
Boxlight’s
suite of software is a combination of titles from acquisitions of Mimio and Qwizdom, both were leading brands in the IWB and Formative
Assessment Software Categories, and since then capabilities have been built upon that IP since. The premise of our software is
to:
●
Provide
the “glue” that integrates the hardware to provide a Connected Classroom.
●
Help
educators inform their decisions in the classroom, through more systematic data about their students’ performance and
behaviors.
●
Help
make learning be more engaging, interactive, accessible and innovative.
●
Help
teachers be more efficient in planning, preparation, reporting and analysis, and effective in instruction and assessment.
MimioStudio
Interactive Instructional Software
MimioStudio
Interactive Instructional Software enables the creation, editing, and presentation of interactive instructional lessons and activities.
These lessons and activities can be presented and managed from the front of the classroom using any of Boxlight’s front
of classroom display systems including MimioTeach + our non-interactive projectors, ProColor Interactive LED panels, MimioBoard
Touch + our non-interactive projectors, MimioFrame + our non-interactive projectors or ProjectoWrite “P” Series interactive
projectors in either pen or touch controlled versions. MimioStudio can also be operated using MimioPad as a full-featured remote
control or a mobile device such as an iPad or tablet which includes a display screen that fully replicates the front-of-classroom
display generated by MimioStudio. Operation with a mobile device is enabled via the three-user license for MimioMobile, provided
with the MimioStudio license that accompanies all front-of-classroom devices from Mimio.
MimioMobile
Collaboration and Assessment Application
The
introduction of MimioMobile, a software accessory for MimioStudio, in 2014 introduced a new era of fully interactive student activities
that are directly and immediately able to be displayed on the front-of-classroom interactive displays through MimioStudio.
MimioMobile
allows fully interactive activities to be pushed to student classroom devices. The students can manipulate objects within the
activities, annotate “on top” of them, and even create completely new content on their own handheld devices. MimioMobile
also enables assessment using the mobile devices. The teacher can create multiple choice, true\false, yes\no, and text entry assessment
questions. The students can respond at their own speed and their answers are stored within MimioStudio from which the teacher
can display graphs showing student results. This “continuous assessment” allows formative assessment that can help
guide the teacher as to whether to re-teach the material if understanding is low or move forward in the lesson. We believe that
this interactive and student dependent instructional model can dramatically enhance student outcomes.
Oktopus
Instructional and Whiteboarding Software
Designed
specifically for touch-enabled devices, Oktopus Interactive Instructional Software enables the creation, editing, and presentation
of interactive instructional lessons and activities. More than 70 interactive widgets, tools, and classroom game modes
make it simple and fun to run ad-hoc or pre-planned sessions. Similar to MimioStudio, these lessons and activities can be presented
and managed from the front of the classroom using any of Boxlight’s front of classroom display systems.
Notes+
Collaboration and Assessment Application
Notes+
is a software accessory for use with Oktopus Software or a PPT plugin that allows students to view and interact with the teacher
presentation during a live class session. Students can answer questions, annotate, request help, and share content with the main
display from nearly any mobile device or laptop. Question types supported include multiple choice, multiple-mark, yes/no, true/false,
sequencing, numeric, and text response.
GameZones
Multi-student Interactive Gaming Software
GameZones
allows up to four students to work simultaneously on a touch screen or tablet to complete interactive ‘game style’
activities. The solution is extremely simple and easy to use and includes over 150 educational activities.

the software.
Peripherals
and Accessories
We
offer a line of peripherals and accessories, including amplified speaker systems, mobile carts, installation accessories and adjustable
wall-mount accessories that complement our entire line of interactive projectors, interactive LED flat panels and standard projectors.
MimioVote
Student Assessment System
Boxlight’s
MimioVote is a handheld “clicker” that enables student assessment with essentially zero training. MimioVote is so
simple it genuinely qualifies as intuitive, an elusive and often proclaimed attribute that is actually merited by MimioVote. MimioVote
fully integrates into the MimioMobile environment and offers everything from attendance to fully immersive and on-the-fly student
assessment. The MimioVote was specifically designed to survive the rigors of even kindergarten and elementary classrooms where
being dropped, stepped on, and kicked are all part of a normal day. The handset’s non-slip coating helps keep it from sliding
off desktops or out of little hands. Should they take “flight”, Mimio Vote’s rugged construction keeps each
handset working.
MimioPad
wireless pen tablet
MimioPad
is a lightweight, rechargeable, wireless tablet used as a remote control for the MimioStudio running on a teacher’s Windows,
Mac, or Linux computer. MimioPad enables the teacher to roam the classroom which significantly aids classroom management. MimioPad
is a classroom management tool which can be handed off to enable a student to be part of the interactive experience – all
without leaving their seat to go to the front of the room.

Integration
Strategy
We
have centralized our business management for all acquisitions through an enterprise resource planning (ERP) system which
offers streamlined subsidiary integration utilizing a multi-currency platform. We have strengthened and refined the process to
drive front-line sales forecasting to factory production. Through the ERP system, we have synchronized five separate accounting
and customer relationship management systems through a cloud-based interface to improve inter-company information sharing and
allow management of the Company to have immediate access to snapshots of the performance of each of our subsidiaries in
a common currency. As we grow, organically or through acquisition, we plan to quickly integrate each subsidiary or division into
the Company to allow for clearer and earlier visibility of performance to enable for timely and effective business
decisions.

Logistics;
Suppliers
Logistics
is currently provided in the US by our Lawrenceville, Georgia facility and internationally by the Sahara team in London.
Together these teams manage and multiple third-party logistics partners throughout the world (3PL’s). These 3PL partners
allow Boxlight to provide affordable freight routes and shorter delivery times to our customers by providing on-hand inventory
in localized markets. Contract manufacturing for Boxlight products is through original design manufacturer (ODM) and original
equipment manufacturer (OEM) partners according to Boxlight’s specific engineering specifications and utilizing IP developed
and owned by Boxlight. Boxlight’s factories for ODM and OEM are located in the USA, Taiwan, China, and Germany.
Technical
Support and Service
The
Company currently has its core technical support and service centers located near Seattle, WA, Boston, MA, Atlanta, GA,
London, England, and Belfast, Northern Ireland. Additionally, the Company’s technical support division is responsible
for the repair and management of customer service cases, resulting in more than 60% of the Company’s customer service calls
ending in immediate closure of the applicable service case. We accomplish this as a result of the familiarity between our products
and having specialized customer service technicians hired internally and with key partners in certain international markets.
Sales
and Marketing
Our
sales force consists of 45 account managers in EMEA including a head of sales, 18 regional account managers
in the US including a head of sales, one in Latin America, and a new role for head of corporate sales in the US. Our
marketing team consists of one Vice President of Marketing Communications, one Marketing Coordinators, one Education
Specialist, and one Graphic Designer). Our sales force and marketing teams primarily drive sales of all Boxlight products
throughout North, Central and South America, Europe, the Middle East and Asia. In addition, we go to market through an
indirect channel distribution model and utilize traditional value-added resellers and support them with training to become
knowledgeable about the products we sell. We currently have approximately 800 resellers.
We
believe Boxlight offers the most comprehensive product portfolio in today’s education technology industry, along with best-in-class
service and technical support. Boxlight’s award-winning, interactive classroom technology and easy to use line of classroom
hardware and software solutions provide schools and districts with the most complete line of progressive, integrated classroom
technologies available worldwide.
Competition
The
interactive education industry is highly competitive and characterized by frequent product introductions and rapid technological
advances that have substantially increased the capabilities and use of interactive projectors and interactive whiteboards. Interactive
whiteboards, since first introduced, have evolved from a high-cost technology that involves multiple components, requiring professional
installers, to a one-piece technology that is available at increasingly reduced-price points and affords simple installations.
With lowered technology entry barriers, we face heated competition from other interactive whiteboard developers, manufacturers
and distributors. We compete with other developers, manufacturers and distributors of interactive projectors and personal computer
technologies, tablets, television screens, smart phones, such as Smart Technologies, Promethean, ViewSonic, Dell Computers, Samsung,
Panasonic and ClearTouch.
Even
with these competitors, the market presents new opportunities in responding to demands to replace outdated and failing interactive
whiteboards with more affordable and simpler solution interactive whiteboards. Our ability to integrate our technologies and remain
innovative and develop new technologies desired by our current and potential new contract manufacturing customers will determine
our ability to grow our contract manufacturing divisions. In addition, we have begun to see expansion in the market to sales of
complementary products that work in conjunction with the interactive technology, including software, audio solutions, data capture
and tablets.

ITEM
1A. RISK FACTORS
An
investment in our securities involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider all of the risks described below,
together with the other information contained in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, including our financial statements and related
notes, before making a decision to invest in our securities. If any of the following events occur, our business, financial condition
and operating results may be materially adversely affected. In that event, the trading price of our securities could decline,
and you could lose all or part of your investment.
Summary
Risk Factors
Some
of the factors that could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows
include, but are not limited to, the following:
●
our
inability to predict or anticipate the duration or adapt to the long-term economic and business consequences of the
ongoing COVID-19 pandemic;
●
our
ability to continue to attract and retain customers;
●
our
ability to sell additional products and services to customers;
●
our
ability to raise funds in a timely fashion and successfully manage cash flow needs and financing plans;
●
our
ability to successfully maintain a competitive position in our industry and market;
●
our
ability to manage our business and sell our products within a changing and evolving industry environment;
●
our
ability to locate and leverage potential growth opportunities;
●
our
ability to achieve expected technological advances by us or by third parties and our ability to leverage them;
●
our
ability to fully and successfully integrate our business acquisitions into the Boxlight’s existing business and platform;
●
the
effects of future regulation; and
●
our
ability to protect and monetize our intellectual property.
COVID-19
Risks
Circumstances
related to the ongoing COVID-19 Pandemic are increasingly unpredictable and could adversely affect our business operations and
the market for our products.
War,
terrorism, other acts of violence or natural or man-made disasters, including a global pandemic, may affect the markets in which
the Company operates, the Company’s customers, the Company’s delivery of products and customer service, and could
have a material adverse impact on our business, results of operations, or financial conditions.
17
The
Company’s business may be adversely affected by instability, disruption or destruction in a geographic region in which it
operates, regardless of cause, including war, terrorism, riot, civil insurrection or social unrest, and natural or man-made disasters,
including famine, food, fire, earthquake, storm or pandemic events and spread of disease (including the recent outbreak of the
coronavirus commonly referred to as “COVID-19”). Such events may cause customers to suspend their decisions on using
the Company’s products and services, make it impossible to attend or sponsor trade shows or other conferences in which our
products and services are presented to customers and potential customers, cause restrictions, postponements and cancellations
of events that attract large crowds and public gatherings such as trade shows at which we have historically presented our products,
and give rise to sudden significant changes in regional and global economic conditions and cycles that could interfere with purchases
of goods or services, commitments to develop new products. These events also pose significant risks to the Company’s personnel
and to physical facilities, transportation and operations, which could materially adversely affect the Company’s financial
results.
As
a result of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, there is a risk related to modification of the traditional classroom setting that may
result in reduced demand for our classroom solutions, including reduced demand for our interactive displays due to extended or
indefinite distance and digital learning.
There
is also a risk of reduced borrowing with our factoring and purchase order financing facilities, as well as risk of inability to
raise additional capital.
Education
markets in the U.S., and around the world, are being negatively affected by COVID-19, as state and local governments are finding
themselves increasingly short on funding, which could result in a significantly depressed market for our products.
The
U.S. has experienced a substantial economic downturn, with unemployment reaching numbers not seen since the Great Depression.
While this present economic downturn occurred as a direct result of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, and the resulting shelter-in-place
guidelines set in place by state and local governments, we do not yet know how severe or long lasting the present economic downturn
will be. At present, the budgets of many state and local governments, including budgets for local schools and school districts
to whom we market our products, are likely to be severely impacted as funds that may have been earmarked for educational resources
are moved to cover budget shortfalls to meet the increased healthcare costs and those of first responders. Governmental authorities
have taken significant measures to provide economic assistance to individual households and businesses, stabilize the markets,
and support economic growth. The success of these measures is unknown, and they may not be sufficient to fully mitigate the negative
impact of the pandemic or its effect on the market for our goods and services.
Risks
Related to Our Business, Operations and Financial Condition
We
generate a substantial portion of our revenue from the sale of our display products, and any significant reduction in sales
of these products would materially harm our business.
For
the year ended December 31, 2020, we generated approximately 88.1% of our revenue from sales of our interactive
display products, consisting of projectors, interactive projectors and interactive flat panels. A decrease in demand for our interactive
displays would significantly reduce our revenue. If any of our competitors introduces attractive alternatives to our interactive
displays, we could experience a significant decrease in sales as customers migrate to those alternative products.
Our
business is subject to seasonal fluctuations, which may cause our operating results to fluctuate from quarter-to-quarter and adversely
affect our working capital and liquidity throughout the year.
Our
revenues and operating results normally fluctuate as a result of seasonal variations in our business, driven largely by the purchasing
cycles of the educational market. Traditionally, the bulk of expenditures by school districts occur in the second and third calendar
quarters after receipt of budget allocations. We expect quarterly fluctuations in our revenues and operating results to continue.
These fluctuations could result in volatility and adversely affect our cash flow. As our business grows, these seasonal fluctuations
may become more pronounced. As a result, we believe that sequential quarterly comparisons of our financial results may not provide
an accurate assessment of our financial position.
Our
working capital requirements and cash flows are subject to fluctuation, which could have an adverse effect on our financial condition.
Our
working capital requirements and cash flows have historically been, and are expected to continue to be, subject to quarterly and
yearly fluctuations, depending on a number of factors. Factors which could result in cash flow fluctuations include:
●
the
level of sales and the related margins on those sales;
●
the
collection of receivables;
●
the
timing and size of purchases of inventory and related components; and
●
the
timing of payment on payables and accrued liabilities.
If
we are unable to manage fluctuations in cash flow, our business, operating results and financial condition may be materially adversely
affected. For example, we may be unable to make required interest payments on our indebtedness.
We
operate in a highly competitive industry.
We
are engaged in the interactive education industry. We face substantial competition from developers, manufacturers and distributors
of interactive learning products and solutions, including interactive projectors, interactive whiteboards and micro-computer data
logging products and any new product we may offer in the future. The industry is highly competitive and characterized by frequent
product introductions and rapid technological advances that have substantially increased the capabilities and use of interactive
projectors, interactive whiteboards, and micro-computer-based logging technologies and combinations of them. We face increased
competition from companies with strong positions in certain markets we serve, and in new markets and regions we may enter. These
companies manufacture and/or distribute new, disruptive or substitute products that compete for the pool of available funds that
previously could have been spent on interactive displays and associated products.
18
Many
of these competitors have, and our potential competitors may have, significantly greater financial and other resources than we
do and have spent, and may continue to spend, significant amounts of resources to try to enter or expand their presence in the
market. In addition, low-cost competitors have appeared in China and other countries. We may not be able to compete effectively
against these current and future competitors. Increased competition or other competitive pressures have and may continue to result
in price reductions, reduced margins or loss of market share, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business,
financial condition or results of operations.
Some
of our customers are required to purchase equipment by soliciting proposals from several sources and, in some cases, are
required to purchase from the lowest bidder. While we attempt to price our products competitively, based upon the relative features
they offer, our competitors’ prices and other factors, we are often not the lowest bidder and, in such cases, may
lose sales.
Competitors
may be able to respond to new or emerging technologies and changes in customer requirements more effectively and faster than we
can or devote greater resources to the development, promotion and sale of products than we can. Current and potential competitors
may establish cooperative relationships among themselves or with third parties, including through mergers or acquisitions, to
increase the ability of their products to address the needs of customers. If these interactive display competitors or other substitute
or alternative technology competitors acquire significantly increased market share, it could have a material adverse effect on
our business, financial condition or results of operations.
If
we are unable to continually enhance our products and to develop, introduce and sell new technologies and products at competitive
prices and in a timely manner, our business will be harmed.
The
market for interactive learning and collaboration solutions is still emerging and evolving. It is characterized by rapid technological
change and frequent new product introductions, many of which may compete with, be considered as alternatives to or replace our
interactive displays. For example, we have recently observed significant sales of tablet computers by competitors to school districts
in the U.S. whose technology budgets could otherwise have been used to purchase interactive displays. Accordingly, our future
success will depend upon our ability to enhance our products and to develop, introduce and sell new technologies and products
offering enhanced performance and functionality at competitive prices and in a timely manner.
The
development of new technologies and products involves time, substantial costs and risks. Our ability to successfully develop new
technologies will depend in large measure on our ability to maintain a technically skilled research and development staff and
to adapt to technological changes and advances in the industry. The success of new product introductions depends on a number of
factors, including timely and successful product development, market acceptance, the effective management of purchase commitments
and inventory levels in line with anticipated product demand, the availability of components in appropriate quantities and costs
to meet anticipated demand, the risk that new products may have quality or other defects and our ability to manage distribution
and production issues related to new product introductions. If we are unsuccessful in selling the new products that we develop
and introduce, or any future products that we may develop, we may carry obsolete inventory and have reduced available working
capital for the development of other new technologies and products.
If
we are unable, for any reason, to enhance, develop, introduce and sell new products in a timely manner, or at all, in response
to changing market conditions or customer requirements or otherwise, our business will be harmed.
19
We
may not be successful in our strategy to increase sales in the business and government market.
The
majority of our revenue has been derived from sales to the education market. Our business strategy contemplates expanding our
sales in both the education market, as well as to the business and government training sectors. However, to date, there has not
been widespread adoption of interactive displays and collaboration solutions in the business and government market, and these
solutions may fail to achieve wide acceptance in this market. Successful expansion into the business and government markets will
require us to augment and develop new distribution and reseller relationships, and we may not be successful in developing those
relationships. In addition, widespread acceptance of our interactive solutions may not occur due to lack of familiarity with how
our products work, the perception that our products are difficult to use and a lack of appreciation of the contribution they can
make in the business and government markets. In addition, the Boxlight brands are less recognized in these markets as compared
to the education market. A key part of our strategy to grow in the business and government market is to develop strategic alliances
with companies in the unified communications and collaboration sector, and there can be no assurance that these alliances will
help us to successfully grow our sales in this market.
Furthermore,
our ability to successfully grow in the business and government market depends upon revenue and cash flows derived from sales
to the education market. As the education market represents a significant portion of our revenue and cash flow, we utilize cash
from sales in the education market for our operating expenses. If we cannot continue to augment and develop new distributor and
reseller relationships, market our brand, develop strategic alliances and innovate new technologies, we may not be successful
in our strategy to grow in the business and government market.
As
a result of market saturation, our future sales of interactive displays in developed markets may slow or decrease.
As
a result of the high levels of penetration in developed markets, the education market for interactive displays in the U.S., U.K.
and Australia may have reached saturation levels. Future sales growth in those markets and other developed markets with similar
penetration levels may, as a result, be difficult to achieve, and our sales of interactive displays may decline in those countries.
If we are unable to replace the revenue and earnings, we have historically derived from sales of interactive displays to
the education market in these developed markets, whether through sales of additional products, sales in other underserved markets,
such as Africa, Latin America and Asia, sales in the business and government market or otherwise, our business, financial condition
and results of operations may be materially adversely affected.
We
face significant challenges growing our sales in foreign markets.
For
our products to gain broad acceptance in all markets, we may need to develop customized solutions specifically designed for each
country in which we seek to grow our sales and to sell those solutions at prices that are competitive in that country. For example,
while our hardware requires only minimal modification to be usable in other countries, our software and content require significant
customization and modification to adapt to the needs of foreign customers. Specifically, our software will need to be adapted
to work in a user-friendly way in several languages and alphabets, and content that fits the specific needs of foreign customers
(such as, for example, classroom lessons adapted to specific foreign curricula) will need to be developed. If we are not able
to develop, or choose not to support, customized products and solutions for use in a particular country, we may be unable to compete
successfully in that country and our sales growth in that country will be adversely affected. We cannot assure you that we will
be able to successfully develop or choose to support customized solutions for each foreign country in which we seek to grow our
sales or that our solutions, if developed, will be competitive in the relevant country.
Growth
in many foreign countries will require us to price our products competitively in those countries. In certain developing countries,
we have been and may continue to be required to sell our products at prices significantly below those that we are currently charging
in developed countries. Such pricing pressures could reduce our gross margins and adversely affect our revenue.
20
Our
customers’ experience with our products will be directly affected by the availability and quality of our customers’
Internet access. We are unable to control broadband penetration rates, and, to the extent that broadband growth in emerging markets
slows, our growth in international markets could be hindered.
In
addition, we will face lengthy and unpredictable sales cycles in foreign markets, particularly in countries with centralized decision
making. In these countries, particularly in connection with significant technology product purchases, we have experienced recurrent
requests for proposals, significant delays in the decision-making process and, in some cases, indefinite deferrals of purchases
or cancellations of requests for proposals. If we are unable to overcome these challenges, the growth of our sales in these markets
would be adversely affected, and we may incur unrecovered marketing costs, impairing our profitability.
Our
suppliers may not be able to always supply components or products to us on a timely basis and on favorable terms, and as a result,
our dependency on third party suppliers has adversely affected our revenue and may continue to do so.
We
do not manufacture any of the products we sell and distribute and, therefore, rely on our suppliers for all products and components
and depend on obtaining adequate supplies of quality components on a timely basis with favorable terms. Some of those components,
as well as certain complete products that we sell are provided to us by only one key supplier or contract manufacturer.
We are subject to disruptions in our operations if our sole or limited supply contract manufacturers decrease or stop production
of components and products, or if such suppliers and contract manufacturers do not produce components and products of sufficient
quantity. Alternative sources for our components are not always available. Many of our products and components are manufactured
overseas, so they have long lead times, and events such as local disruptions, natural disasters or political conflict may cause
unexpected interruptions to the supply of our products or components. In addition, we do not have written supply agreements with
our suppliers. Although we are endeavoring to enter into written agreements with certain of all of our suppliers, we cannot
assure that our efforts will be successful. Furthermore, due to the impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic the company may experience
material adverse impacts on its supply chain.
We
rely on highly skilled personnel, and, if we are unable to attract, retain or motivate qualified personnel, we may not be able
to operate our business effectively.
Our
success depends in large part on continued employment of senior management and key personnel who can effectively operate our business,
as well as our ability to attract and retain skilled employees. Competition for highly skilled management, technical, research
and development and other employees is intense in the high-technology industry and we may not be able to attract or retain highly
qualified personnel in the future. In making employment decisions, particularly in the high-technology industry, job candidates
often consider the value of the equity awards they would receive in connection with their employment. Our long-term incentive
programs may not be attractive enough or perform sufficiently to attract or retain qualified personnel.
If
any of our employees leaves us, and we fail to effectively manage a transition to new personnel, or if we fail to attract and
retain qualified and experienced professionals on acceptable terms, our business, financial condition and results of operations
could be adversely affected.
Our
success also depends on our having highly trained financial, technical, recruiting, sales and marketing personnel. We will need
to continue to hire additional personnel as our business grows. A shortage in the number of people with these skills or our failure
to attract them to our company could impede our ability to increase revenues from our existing products and services, ensure full
compliance with federal and state regulations, or launch new product offerings and would have an adverse effect on our business
and financial results.
We
may have difficulty in entering into and maintaining strategic alliances with third parties.
We
have entered into and we may continue to enter into strategic alliances with third parties to gain access to new and innovative
technologies and markets. These parties are often large, established companies. Negotiating and performing under these arrangements
involves significant time and expense, and we may not have sufficient resources to devote to our strategic alliances, particularly
those with companies that have significantly greater financial and other resources than we do. The anticipated benefits of these
arrangements may never materialize and performing under these arrangements may adversely affect our results of operations.
21
We
use resellers and distributors to promote and sell our products.
Substantially
all our sales are made through resellers and distributors. Industry and economic conditions have the potential to weaken the financial
position of our resellers and distributors. Such resellers and distributors may no longer sell our products, or may reduce efforts
to sell our products, which could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. Furthermore,
if our resellers and distributors’ abilities to repay their credit obligations were to deteriorate and result in
the write-down or write-off of such receivables, it would negatively affect our operating results and, if significant, could materially
adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
In
addition, our resellers and most of our distributors are not contractually required to sell our products exclusively and may offer
competing interactive display products, and therefore we depend on our ability to establish and develop new relationships and
to build on existing relationships with resellers and distributors. We cannot assure that our resellers and distributors will
act in a manner that will promote the success of our products. Factors that are largely within the control of those resellers
and distributors but are important to the success of our products include:
●
the
degree to which our resellers and distributors actively promote our products;
●
the
extent to which our resellers and distributors offer and promote competitive products; and
●
the
quality of installation, training and other support services offered by our resellers and distributors.
In
addition, if some of our competitors offer their products to resellers and distributors on more favorable terms or have more products
available to meet their needs, there may be pressure on us to reduce the price of our products, or those resellers and distributors
may stop carrying our products or de-emphasize the sale of our products in favor of the products of these competitors. If we do
not maintain and continue to build relationships with resellers and distributors our business will be harmed.
Risks
Related to our Industry and Regulations.
Decreases
in, or stagnation of, spending or changes in the spending policies or budget priorities for government funding of schools, colleges,
universities, other education providers or government agencies may have a material adverse effect on our revenue.
Our
customers include primary and secondary schools, colleges, universities, other education providers and, to a lesser extent, government
agencies, each of which depends heavily on government funding. The effects and duration of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, which
has resulted in worldwide disruptions in supply chains and economic recession, are as yet unknown. We anticipate that the COVID-19
pandemic and resulting economic recession could cause a substantial disruption in, decrease or stagnation of, spending and budget
priorities for government funding of schools, colleges, universities and other education providers and government agencies. The
economy had only recently experienced a similar disruption from the worldwide recession of 2008 and subsequent sovereign debt
and global financial crisis, which resulted in substantial declines in the revenues and fiscal capacity of many national, federal,
state, provincial and local governments. Like in the 2008 financial crisis, where many of those governments have reacted to the
decreases in revenues by cutting funding to educational institutions, we anticipate that governments and governmental entities
will react similarly to the economic crisis and resulting decreases in revenue caused by the COVID-19 pandemic by cutting funding
to educational institutions. If our products are not a high priority expenditure for such institutions, or if such institutions
allocate expenditures to substitute alternative technologies, we could lose revenue.
Any
additional decrease in, stagnation of or adverse change in national, federal, state, provincial or local funding for primary and
secondary schools, colleges, universities, or other education providers or for government agencies that use our products could
cause our current and prospective customers to further reduce their purchases of our products, which could cause us to lose additional
revenue. In addition, a specific reduction in governmental funding support for products such as ours could also cause us to lose
revenue.
22
If
our products fail to comply with consumer product or environmental laws, it could materially affect our financial performance.
Because
we sell products used by children in classrooms and because our products are subject to environmental regulations in some jurisdictions
in which we conduct business and sell our products, we are and will be required to comply with a variety of product safety, product
testing and environmental regulations, including compliance with applicable laws and standards with respect to lead content and
other child safety and environmental issues. If our products do not meet applicable safety or regulatory standards, we could experience
lost sales, diverted resources and increased costs, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and
results of operations. Events that give rise to actual, potential or perceived product safety or environmental concerns could
expose us to government enforcement action or private litigation and result in product recalls and other liabilities. In addition,
negative consumer perceptions regarding the safety of our products could cause negative publicity and harm our reputation.
Risks
Related to our Foreign Operations.
We
are subject to risks inherent in foreign operations.
Sales
outside the US represented 64% of our revenues for the year ended December 31, 2020. We have committed, and may continue to commit,
significant resources to our international operations and sales and marketing activities.
We
are subject to several risks associated with international business activities that may increase costs, lengthen sales
cycles and require significant management attention. International operations carry certain risks and associated costs, such as
the complexities and expense of administering a business abroad, complications in compliance with, and unexpected changes in regulatory
requirements, foreign laws, international import and export legislation, trading and investment policies, exchange controls, tariffs
and other trade barriers, difficulties in collecting accounts receivable, potential adverse tax consequences, uncertainties of
laws, difficulties in protecting, maintaining or enforcing intellectual property rights, difficulty in managing a geographically
dispersed workforce in compliance with diverse local laws and customs, and other factors, depending upon the country involved.
Moreover, local laws and customs in many countries differ significantly and compliance with the laws of multiple jurisdictions
can be complex, difficult and costly. We cannot assure that risks inherent in our foreign operations will not have a material
adverse effect on our business.
We
must comply with the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act.
We
are required to comply with the United States Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, which prohibits U.S. companies from engaging in bribery
of or other prohibited payments to foreign officials for the purpose of obtaining or retaining business and requires that we maintain
adequate financial records and internal controls to prevent such prohibited payments. Our international operations are managed
by the Sahara team who are required to comply with the UK Bribery Act 2010 which goes further than current US legislation where
the Bribery Act is not limited to foreign officials but also includes customers and includes all form of inducement and incentives;
the same standard is expected of all our Sahara employees of other European countries where similar legislation is in force under
EU-Law Corruption, extortion, bribery, pay-offs, theft and other fraudulent practices may occur in countries where we do business.
If our competitors engage in these practices, they may receive preferential treatment from personnel of some companies, giving
our competitors an advantage in securing business or from government officials who might give them priority in obtaining new business,
which would put us at a disadvantage. If our employees or other agents are found to have engaged in such practices, we could suffer
severe penalties.
23
Our
worldwide operations will subject us to income taxation in many jurisdictions, and we must exercise significant judgment to determine
our worldwide financial provision for income taxes. That determination ultimately is an estimate, and, accordingly, we cannot
assure that our historical income tax provisions and accruals will be adequate.
We
are subject to income taxation in the United States and numerous other jurisdictions. Significant judgment is required in determining
our worldwide provision for income taxes. In the ordinary course of our business, there are many transactions and calculations
where the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. Although we believe our tax estimates are reasonable, we cannot assure you
that the final determination of any tax audits and litigation will not be materially different from that which is reflected in
our historical income tax provisions and accruals. Should additional taxes be assessed against us as a result of an audit or litigation,
there could be a material adverse effect on our current and future results and financial condition.
Certain
of our subsidiaries provide products to and may from time to time undertake certain significant transactions with, us and
our other subsidiaries in different jurisdictions. In general, cross border transactions between related parties and, in particular,
related party financing transactions, are subject to close review by tax authorities. Moreover, several jurisdictions in which
we operate have tax laws with detailed transfer pricing rules that require all transactions with nonresident related parties to
be priced using arm’s-length pricing principles and require the existence of contemporaneous documentation to support such
pricing. A tax authority in one or more jurisdictions could challenge the validity of our related party transfer pricing policies.
If in the future any taxation authorities are successful in challenging our financing or transfer pricing policies, our income
tax expense may be adversely affected and we could become subject to interest and penalty charges, which may harm our business,
financial condition and operating results.
If
we are unable to ship and transport components and final products efficiently and economically across long distances and borders
our business would be harmed.
We
transport significant volumes of components and finished products across long distances and international borders. Any increases
in our transportation costs, as a result of increases in the price of oil or otherwise, would increase our costs and the final
prices of our products to our customers. In addition, any increases in customs or tariffs, as a result of changes to existing
trade agreements between countries or otherwise, could increase our costs or the final cost of our products to our customers or
decrease our margins. Such increases could harm our competitive position and could have a material adverse effect on our business.
The laws governing customs and tariffs in many countries are complex and often include substantial penalties for non-compliance.
Disputes may arise and could subject us to material liabilities and have a material adverse effect on our business.
If
our procedures to ensure compliance with export control laws are ineffective, our business could be harmed.
Our
extensive foreign operations and sales are subject to far reaching and complex export control laws and regulations in the United
States and elsewhere. Violations of those laws and regulations could have material negative consequences for us including large
fines, criminal sanctions, prohibitions on participating in certain transactions and government contracts, sanctions on other
companies if they continue to do business with us and adverse publicity.
We
will be exposed to fluctuations in foreign currencies that may materially adversely affect our results of operations.
Our
reporting currency is the U.S. dollar. Sahara Holdings Ltd. consolidates results using the British pound (with principal functional
currencies in British pound, Euro and U.S. dollar) and Boxlight Latin America uses the Mexican Peso as functional currency
to report revenue and expenses. As a result, we will be exposed to foreign exchange rate fluctuations when we translate the financial
statements of the of our group companies into U.S. dollars in consolidation. If there is a change in foreign currency exchange
rates, the translation of the of any of the group companies financial statements into U.S. dollars will lead to a translation
gain or loss which is recorded as a component of other comprehensive income. In addition, we may have certain monetary assets
and liabilities that are denominated in currencies other than the relevant entity’s functional currency. To the extent the
U.S. dollar strengthens or weakens against the certain foreign currencies then the translation of foreign currency
denominated transactions will result in a change to reported revenue, operating expenses and net income for subsidiary
operations. We have not entered into agreements or purchased instruments to hedge our exchange rate risks, although we may
do so in the future. The availability and effectiveness of any hedging transaction may be limited, and we may not be able to successfully
hedge fully our exchange rate risks.
24
We
monitor our foreign exchange exposures, and these activities mitigate, but do not eliminate, our exposure to exchange rate fluctuations.
As a result, exchange rate fluctuations may materially adversely affect our operating results in future periods.
Risks
Related to Our Intellectual Property and Technology
Defects
in our products can be difficult to detect before shipment. If defects occur, they could have a material adverse effect on our
business.
Our
products are highly complex and sophisticated and, from time to time, have contained and may continue to contain design defects
or software “bugs” or failures that are difficult to detect and correct in advance of shipping.
The
occurrence of errors and defects in our products could result in loss of, or delay in, market acceptance of our products, including
harm to our brand. Correcting such errors and failures in our products could require significant expenditure of capital by us.
In addition, we are rapidly developing and introducing new products, and new products may have higher rates of errors and defects
than our established products. The Boxlight Group has historically provided product warranties between one and five years, and
the failure of our products to operate as described could give rise to warranty claims. The consequences of such errors, failures
and other defects and claims could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations
and our reputation.
We
may not be able to obtain patents or other intellectual property rights necessary to protect our proprietary technology and business.
Our
commercial success depends to a significant degree upon our ability to develop new or improved technologies and products, and
to obtain patents or other intellectual property rights or statutory protection for these technologies and products in the United
States and other countries. We will seek to patent concepts, components, processes, designs and methods, and other inventions
and technologies that we consider have commercial value or that will likely give us a technological advantage. Boxlight own rights
in patents and patent applications for technologies relating to interactive displays and other complementary products in the United
States and other countries such as Germany, Mexico, Israel, Japan, Taiwan and China. Despite devoting resources to the research
and development of proprietary technology, we may not be able to develop technology that is patentable or protectable. Patents
may not be issued in connection with pending patent applications, and claims allowed may not be sufficient to allow them to use
the inventions that they create exclusively. Furthermore, any patents issued could be challenged, re-examined, held invalid or
unenforceable or circumvented and may not provide sufficient protection or a competitive advantage. In addition, despite efforts
to protect and maintain patents, competitors and other third parties may be able to design around their patents or develop products
similar to our products that are not within the scope of their patents. Finally, patents provide certain statutory protection
only for a limited period of time that varies depending on the jurisdiction and type of patent. The statutory protection term
of certain of our material patents may expire soon and, thereafter, the underlying technology of such patents can be used by any
third-party including competitors.
Prosecution
and protection of the rights sought in patent applications and patents can be costly and uncertain, often involve complex legal
and factual issues and consume significant time and resources. In addition, the breadth of claims allowed in our patents, their
enforceability and our ability to protect and maintain them cannot be predicted with any certainty. The laws of certain countries
may not protect intellectual property rights to the same extent as the laws of the United States. Even if our patents are held
to be valid and enforceable in a certain jurisdiction, any legal proceedings that we may initiate against third parties to enforce
such patents will likely be expensive, take significant time and divert management’s attention from other business matters.
We cannot assure that any of the issued patents or pending patent applications will provide any protectable, maintainable or enforceable
rights or competitive advantages to us.
25
In
addition to patents, we will rely on a combination of copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets and other related laws and confidentiality
procedures and contractual provisions to protect, maintain and enforce our proprietary technology and intellectual property rights
in the United States, the United Kingdom, Mexico, Australia, Malaysia, Canada, Turkey Sweden, Finland, Germany, Holland, and China.
However, our ability to protect our brands by registering certain trademarks may be limited. In addition, while we will generally
enter into confidentiality and nondisclosure agreements with our employees, consultants, contract manufacturers, distributors
and resellers and with others to attempt to limit access to and distribution of our proprietary and confidential information,
it is possible that:
●
misappropriation
of our proprietary and confidential information, including technology, will nevertheless occur;
●
our
confidentiality agreements will not be honored or may be rendered unenforceable;
●
third
parties will independently develop equivalent, superior or competitive technology or products;
●
disputes
will arise with our current or future strategic licensees, customers or others concerning the ownership, validity, enforceability,
use, patentability or registrability of intellectual property; or
●
unauthorized
disclosure of our know-how, trade secrets or other proprietary or confidential information will occur.
We
cannot assure that we will be successful in protecting, maintaining or enforcing our intellectual property rights. If we are unsuccessful
in protecting, maintaining or enforcing our intellectual property rights, then our business, operating results and financial condition
could be materially adversely affected, which could:
●
adversely
affect our relationships with current or future distributors and resellers of our products;
●
adversely
affect our reputation with customers;
●
be
time-consuming and expensive to evaluate and defend;
●
cause
product shipment delays or stoppages;
●
divert
management’s attention and resources;
●
subject
us to significant liabilities and damages;
●
require
us to enter into royalty or licensing agreements; or
●
require
us to cease certain activities, including the sale of products.
If
it is determined that we have infringed, violated or are infringing or violating a patent or other intellectual property right
of any other person or if we are found liable in respect of any other related claim, then, in addition to being liable for potentially
substantial damages, we may be prohibited from developing, using, distributing, selling or commercializing certain of our technologies
and products unless we obtain a license from the holder of the patent or other intellectual property right. We cannot assure that
we will be able to obtain any such license on a timely basis or on commercially favorable terms, or that any such licenses will
be available, or that workarounds will be feasible and cost-efficient. If we do not obtain such a license or find a cost-efficient
workaround, our business, operating results and financial condition could be materially adversely affected, and we could
be required to cease related business operations in some markets and restructure our business to focus on our continuing operations
in other markets.
26
Our
business may suffer if it is alleged or determined that our technology or another aspect of our business infringes the intellectual
property of others.
The
markets in which we will compete are characterized by the existence of many patents and trade secrets and also by litigation
based on allegations of infringement or other violations of intellectual property rights. Moreover, in recent years, individuals
and groups have purchased patents and other intellectual property assets for the purpose of making claims of infringement to extract
settlements from companies like ours. Also, third parties may make infringement claims against us that relate to technology developed
and owned by one of our suppliers for which our suppliers may or may not indemnify us. Even if we are indemnified against such
costs, the indemnifying party may be unable to uphold its contractual obligations and determining the extent such of such
obligations could require additional litigation. Claims of intellectual property infringement against us or our suppliers might
require us to redesign our products, enter into costly settlements or license agreements, pay costly damage awards or face a temporary
or permanent injunction prohibiting us from marketing or selling our products or services. If we cannot or do not license the
infringed intellectual property on reasonable terms or at all, or substitute similar intellectual property from another source,
our revenue and operating results could be adversely impacted. Additionally, our customers and distributors may not purchase our
offerings if they are concerned that they may infringe third party intellectual property rights. Responding to such claims, regardless
of their merit, can be time consuming, costly to defend in litigation, divert management’s attention and resources, damage
our reputation and cause us to incur significant expenses. The occurrence of any of these events may have a material adverse effect
on our business, financial condition and operating results.
If
we are unable to anticipate consumer preferences and successfully develop attractive products, we might not be able to maintain
or increase our revenue or achieve profitability.
Our
success depends on our ability to identify and originate product trends as well as to anticipate and react to changing demands
and preferences of customers in a timely manner. If we are unable to introduce new products or technologies in a timely manner
or our new products or technologies are not accepted by our customers, our competitors may introduce more attractive products
which would adversely impact our competitive position. Failure to respond in a timely manner to changing consumer preferences
could lead to, among other things, lower revenues and excess inventory positions of outdated products.
We
may be unable to keep pace with changes in technology as our business and market strategy evolves.
We
will need to respond to technological advances and emerging industry standards in a cost-effective and timely manner in order
to remain competitive. The need to respond to technological changes may require us to make substantial, unanticipated expenditures.
There can be no assurance that we will be able to respond successfully to technological change.
Risks
Related to Our Class A Common Stock
Future
sales of our Class A common stock could adversely affect our share price, and any additional capital raised by us through the
sale of equity or convertible debt securities may dilute your ownership in us and may adversely affect the market price of our
Class A common stock.
We
believe that our existing working capital, expected cash flow from operations and other available cash resources will enable us
to meet our working capital requirements for at least the next 12 months. However, the development and marketing of new products
and the expansion of distribution channels require a significant commitment of resources. From time to time, we may seek additional
equity or debt financing to finance working capital requirements, continue our expansion, develop new products or make acquisitions
or other investments. In addition, if our business plans change, general economic, financial or political conditions in our industry
change, or other circumstances arise that have a material effect on our cash flow, the anticipated cash needs of our business,
as well as our conclusions as to the adequacy of our available sources of capital, could change significantly. Any of these events
or circumstances could result in significant additional funding needs, requiring us to raise additional capital. If additional
funds are raised through the issuance of equity shares, preferred shares or debt securities, the terms of such securities could
impose restrictions on our operations and would reduce the percentage ownership of our existing stockholders. If financing is
not available on satisfactory terms, or at all, we may be unable to expand our business or to develop new business at the rate
desired and our results of operations may suffer.
27
The
market price of our Class A common stock may be volatile, which could cause the value of our common stock to fluctuate and possibly
decline significantly.
The
market price of our Class A common stock may be highly volatile and subject to wide fluctuations. Our financial performance, government
regulatory action, tax laws and market conditions in general, including the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and its resulting impact
on the economy at large, could have a significant impact on the future market price of our Class A common stock. Some of the factors
that could negatively affect our share price or result in fluctuations in the price of our common stock include:
●
our
operating and financial performance and prospects;
●
our
quarterly or annual earnings or those of other companies in our industry;
●
the
public’s reaction to our press releases, our other public announcements and our filings with the SEC;
●
changes
in, or failure to meet, earnings estimates or recommendations by research analysts who track our Class A common stock or the
stock of other companies in our industry;
●
the
failure of analysts to cover our Class A common stock;
●
strategic
actions by us or our competitors, such as acquisitions or restructurings;
●
announcements
by us, our competitors or our vendors of significant contracts, acquisitions, joint marketing relationships, joint ventures
or capital commitments;
●
new
laws or regulations or new interpretations of existing laws or regulations applicable to our business;
●
changes
in accounting standards, policies, guidance, interpretations or principles;
●
announcements
by third parties or governmental entities of significant claims or proceedings against us;
●
new
laws and governmental regulations, or other regulatory developments, applicable to our industry;
●
changes
in general conditions in the United States and global economies or financial markets, including both social and economic conditions
resulting from the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, war, incidents of terrorism or responses to such events;
●
changes
in government spending levels on education;
●
changes
in key personnel;
●
sales
of common stock by us, members of our management team or our stockholders;
●
the
granting or exercise of employee stock options or other equity awards;
●
the
volume of trading in our Class A common stock; and
●
the
realization of any risks described in this section under the caption “Risk Factors.”
Furthermore,
the stock market has recently experienced extreme volatility that, in some cases, has been unrelated or disproportionate to the
operating performance of particular companies. These broad market and industry fluctuations may adversely affect the market price
of our Class A common stock, regardless of our actual operating performance.
In
the past, following periods of market volatility, stockholders have instituted securities class action litigation. If we were
involved in securities litigation, it could have a substantial cost and divert resources and the attention of executive management
from our business regardless of the outcome of such litigation.
28
Our
Articles of Incorporation, Bylaws and Nevada law may have anti-takeover effects.
Our
Articles of Incorporation authorizes the issuance of common stock and preferred stock. Each share of Class A common stock entitles
the holder to one vote on all matters to be voted upon by stockholders, and the Class B common stock has no vote, except as required
by law. In addition, our board of directors (“Board”) has the authority to issue additional shares of preferred stock
and to determine the price, rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions of those shares without any further vote or action
by the stockholders. The rights of the holders of common stock will be subject to, and may be adversely affected by, the rights
of the holders of any preferred stock that may be issued in the future. The ability of our Board to issue additional shares of
preferred stock could make it more difficult for a third party to acquire a majority of our voting stock. Other provisions of
our Bylaws also may have the effect of discouraging, delaying or preventing a merger, tender offer or proxy contest, which could
have an adverse effect on the market price of our Class A common stock.
In
addition, certain provisions of Nevada law applicable to our company could also delay or make more difficult a merger, tender
offer or proxy contest involving our company, including Sections 78.411 through 78.444 of the Nevada Revised Statutes, which prohibit
a Nevada corporation from engaging in any business combination with any “interested stockholder” (as defined in the
statute) for a period of two years unless certain conditions are met. In addition, our senior management is entitled to certain
payments upon a change in control and certain of the stock options and restricted shares we have granted provide for the acceleration
of vesting in the event of a change in control of our company.
Affiliates
of Everest Display, Inc. hold a significant percentage of our Class A common stock, and their interests may not align with the
interests of our other stockholders.
K
Laser and other stockholders and affiliates of Everest Display, Inc., a Taiwan corporation (“EDI”) owned approximately
10.0% of our issued and outstanding Class A common stock as of December 31, 2020. The sale of all or any meaningful portion
of the shares owned by such stockholders could have a material adverse effect on the future market price of our Class A common
stock.
This
significant concentration of share ownership may adversely affect the trading price of our Class A common stock because investors
often perceive a disadvantage in owning shares in a company with one or several controlling stockholders. This concentration of
ownership may have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control of our company which could deprive our stockholders
of an opportunity to receive a premium for their shares as part of a sale of our company and might reduce the price of our Class
A common stock. Furthermore, our directors and officers, as a group, have the ability to significantly influence or control the
outcome of all matters requiring stockholder approval, including the election of directors and approval of significant corporate
transactions, such as mergers, consolidations or the sale of substantially all of our assets. Although our directors owe fiduciary
duties to us and our shareholders, including the duties of loyalty, our directors that serve as directors, officers, partners
or employees of companies that we do business with also owe fiduciary duties or other obligations to such other companies or to
the investors in their funds. The duties owed to us could conflict with the duties such directors owe to these other companies
or investors.
We
have no intention of declaring dividends in the foreseeable future.
The
decision to pay cash dividends on our Class A common stock rests with our Board and will depend on our earnings, unencumbered
cash, capital requirements and financial condition. We do not anticipate declaring any dividends in the foreseeable future, as
we intend to use any excess cash to fund our operations. Investors in our Class A common stock should not expect to receive dividend
income on their investment, and investors will be dependent on the appreciation of our Class A common stock to earn a return on
their investment.
If
securities or industry analysts do not publish research or reports about us, or if they adversely change their recommendations
regarding our Class A common stock, then our stock price and trading volume could decline.
The
trading market for our Class A common stock will be influenced by the research and reports that industry or securities analysts
publish about us, our industry and our market. If no analyst elects to cover us and publish research or reports about us, the
market for our Class A common stock could be severely limited and our stock price could be adversely affected. In addition, if
one or more analysts ceases coverage of us or fails to regularly publish reports on us, we could lose visibility in the financial
markets, which in turn could cause our stock price or trading volume to decline. If one or more analysts who elect to cover us
adversely change their recommendations regarding our Class A common stock, our stock price could decline.
29
We
may be exposed to risks relating to evaluations of controls required by Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.
Pursuant
to Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, our management is required to report on, and our independent registered public accounting firm
is required to attest to, the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. Although we prepare our financial
statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, our internal accounting controls
may not meet all standards applicable to companies with publicly traded securities. If we fail to implement any required improvements
to our disclosure controls and procedures, we may be obligated to report control deficiencies and our independent registered public
accounting firm may not be able to certify the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting. In either case,
we could become subject to regulatory sanction or investigation. Further, these outcomes could damage investor confidence in the
accuracy and reliability of our financial statements.
If
our internal controls and accounting processes are insufficient, we may not detect in a timely manner misstatements that
could occur in our financial statements in amounts that could be material.
As
a public company, we have to devote substantial efforts to the reporting obligations and internal controls required of a public
company, which result in substantial costs. A failure to properly meet these obligations could cause investors to lose confidence
in us and have a negative impact on the market price of our shares. We devote significant resources to the documentation, testing
and continued improvement of our operational and financial systems for the foreseeable future. These improvements and efforts
with respect to our accounting processes that we continue to make may not be sufficient to ensure that we maintain adequate controls
over our financial processes and reporting in the future. Any failure to implement required, new or improved controls, or difficulties
encountered in their implementation, could cause us to fail to meet our reporting obligations in the United States or result in
misstatements in our financial statements in amounts that could be material. Insufficient internal controls could also cause investors
to lose confidence in our reported financial information, which could have a negative effect on the trading price of our shares
and may expose us to litigation risk.
As
a public company, we are required to document and test our internal control procedures to satisfy the requirements of Section
404 of Sarbanes-Oxley, which requires annual management assessments of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial
reporting. During the course of our testing, we may identify deficiencies which we may not be able to remediate in time to meet
our deadline for compliance with Section 404. We may not be able to conclude on an ongoing basis that we have effective internal
control over financial reporting in accordance with Section 404. If we are unable to conclude that we have effective internal
control over financial reporting, then investors could lose confidence in our reported financial information, which could have
a negative effect on the trading price of our shares.
For
as long as we are an “emerging growth company,” we will not be required to comply with certain reporting requirements,
including those relating to accounting standards and disclosure about our executive compensation, that apply to some other public
companies.
As
an “emerging growth company” under the JOBS Act, we are permitted to, and intend to, rely on exemptions from certain
disclosure requirements. We are an emerging growth company until the earliest of:
●
the
last day of the fiscal year during which we have total annual gross revenues of $1 billion or more;
●
the
last day of the fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of following our initial public offering in 2017;
●
the
date on which we have, during the previous 3-year period, issued more than $1 billion in non-convertible debt; or
●
the
date on which we are deemed a “large accelerated filer” as defined under the federal securities laws.
30
For
so long as we remain an “emerging growth company,” we will not be required to:
●
have
an auditor report on our internal control over financial reporting pursuant to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002;
●
comply
with any requirement that may be adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding mandatory audit firm rotation
or a supplement to the auditor’s report providing additional information about the audit and the financial statements
(auditor discussion and analysis);
●
submit
certain executive compensation matters to shareholders advisory votes pursuant to the “say on frequency” and “say
on pay” provisions (requiring a non-binding shareholder vote to approve compensation of certain executive officers)
and the “say on golden parachute” provisions (requiring a non-binding shareholder vote to approve golden parachute
arrangements for certain executive officers in connection with mergers and certain other business combinations) of the Dodd-Frank
Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010; and
●
include
detailed compensation discussion and analysis in our filings under the Exchange Act and instead may provide a reduced level
of disclosure concerning executive compensation.
In
addition, the JOBS Act provides that an “emerging growth company” can take advantage of the extended transition period
for complying with new or revised accounting standards. We have elected to take advantage of the extended transition period, which
allows us to delay the adoption of new or revised accounting standards until those standards apply to private companies. As a
result of this election, our financial statements may not be comparable to public companies that comply with new or revised accounting
standards.
Because
of these exemptions, some investors may find our Class A common stock less attractive, which may result in a less active trading
market for our Class A common stock, and our stock price may be more volatile.
We
may not be able to maintain a listing of our Class A common stock on Nasdaq.
Because
our Class A common stock is listed on Nasdaq, we must meet certain financial and liquidity criteria to maintain such listing.
If we violate or fail to meet any Nasdaq listing requirements, our Class A common stock may be delisted. In addition, our Board
may determine that the cost of maintaining our listing on a national securities exchange outweighs the benefits of such listing.
A delisting of our Class A common stock from Nasdaq may materially impair our stockholders’ ability to buy and sell our
Class A common stock and could have an adverse effect on the market price of, and the efficiency of the trading market for, our
Class A common stock. In the event our stock is delisted from Nasdaq, whether by choice or otherwise, the delisting of our Class
A common stock could significantly impair our ability to raise capital and stockholder value.

Sales of Unregistered Securities
As
partial consideration for our purchase of Sahara Presentation Systems PLC (“Sahara”), on September 25, 2021, the Company
issued 1,586,620 shares of Series B convertible redeemable preferred stock (the “Series B Preferred Stock”) and 1,320,850
shares of Series C convertible redeemable preferred stock (the “Series C Preferred Stock”). The fair value of the
preferred shares issued was $16.5 million and $12.4 million for the Series B Preferred Stock and Series C Preferred Stock, respectively.
Such shares were issued pursuant to an exemption from registration pursuant to Rule 506(b) of Regulation D of the Securities Act
of 1933. See further discussion of the features of the preferred shares in Note 12.
On
March 24, 2021 we entered into a share redemption and conversion agreement with the former Sahara shareholders who own approximately
96% of our Series B and Series C preferred stock. Under the agreement, we agreed to redeem and purchase from such preferred stockholders
on or before June 30, 2021 all of the shares of Series B preferred stock for £11,508,495 (or approximately $15,876,084)
being the stated or liquidation value of the Series B preferred stock plus (b) accrued dividends from January 1, 2021 to the date
of purchase. In addition, the holders of 96% of the Series C preferred stock agreed to convert those shares into 7,630,699 shares
of our Class A Common Stock at a conversion price of $1.66 per share. In the event that we do not complete the conversion and
redemption by June 30, 2021, and the Sahara shareholders do not agree to an extension, the redemption and conversion agreement
will terminate without liability by any party.
On
June 22, 2020, pursuant to an exemption from registration under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act, the Company issued 869,565
shares of Class A common stock to Amagic Holographics, Inc. (“Amagic”), an indirect subsidiary of K Laser International,
Inc. (“K Laser”), in exchange for its then-affiliate, Everest Display, Inc., forgiving $1,000,000 in debt owed by
the Company to Everest.
On
February 4, 2020, we entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “2020 SPA”) with Lind Global Macro Fund, LP
(“Lind”) pursuant to which we received on February 6, 2020 $750,000 in exchange for the issuance to Lind of (1) an
$825,000 convertible promissory note, payable at an 8% interest rate, compounded monthly (the “2020 Note”), (2) certain
shares of restricted Company Class A common stock valued at $60,000, calculated based on the 20-day volume average weighted price
of the Class A common stock for the period ended February 4, 2020, and (3) a commitment fee of $26,250. The issuance was made
pursuant to an exemption from registration under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act.
The
2020 Note matures over 24 months, with repayment to commence August 4, 2020, after which time the Company will be obligated to
make monthly payments of $45,833.33 (the “Monthly Payments”), plus interest. Interest payments owed under the 2020
Note (the “Interest Payments”) shall accrue beginning on the one-month anniversary of the issuance of the Note, however
such Interest Payments shall accrue during the first six months of the Note, after which time the Interest Payments, including
such accrued Interest Payments, shall be payable on a monthly basis in either conversion shares or in cash. As with the prior
purchase agreement, we may make the Monthly Payments and any Interest Payments in shares of the Company’s Class A common
stock so long as such shares are either registered for resale under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or may be sold without
restriction pursuant to Rule 144 thereunder. As such, the Monthly Payments may be subject to reduction in any month by any amounts
converted into the Company’s Class A common stock.
In
connection with the February 2020 transaction, we and Lind amended and restated the $4,400,000 note referred to above and the
$1,375,000 note referred to above that we issued to Lind in March and December 2019, respectively, to provide that we would not
make any payments under the three Lind notes in the form of Class A Common Stock if such payments could cause the Company to violate
any rules of the Nasdaq Capital Market. In addition, the Company agreed to call a stockholder meeting on or before May 31, 2020
to seek stockholder approval of the current and all prior financing transactions with Lind. We anticipate that such meeting will
be held in June 2020.
On
January 29, 2020, pursuant to an exemption from registration under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and Regulation D thereunder,
the Company issued 793,375 shares of Class A common stock to Amagic in exchange for K Laser’s cancellation of $1,983,436
in accounts payable owed by the Company to K Laser’s affiliate.

Overview
We
are an educational technology company that is seeking to become a world leading innovator and integrator of interactive products
and software for schools, as well as for business and government learning spaces. We currently design, produce and distribute
interactive projectors and distribute interactive technologies, including flat panels, projectors, whiteboards and peripherals
to the education market. We also distribute science, technology, engineering and math (or “STEM”) products, including
a portable science lab. All of our products are integrated into our classroom software suite that provides tools for whole class
learning, assessment and collaboration.
To
date, we have generated substantially all of our revenue from the sale of our software and interactive displays to the K-12 U.S.
educational market.
We
have also implemented a comprehensive plan to reach profitability both from our core business operations and as a result of making
strategic business acquisitions. We have already started to implement this strategy as set forth below. Highlights of our plan
include:
●
Integrating
products of the acquired companies and cross training our sales reps to increase their offerings. The combination of products
and cross training has already resulted in increased sales. The synergy we have found between the products of Boxlight and
Mimio are adding opportunities to resellers for both companies to increase their sales.
●
Hiring
new sales representatives with significant education technology sales experience in their respective territories and our current
pipeline has reached a record high level.
●
Seeking
to increase demand in the US market for technology sales and have the products and infrastructure in place to handle our expected
growth.

Our
Acquisition Strategy and Challenges
Our
growth strategy includes acquiring assets and technologies of companies that have products, technologies, industry specializations
or geographic coverage that extend or complement our existing business. The process to undertake a potential acquisition is time-consuming
and costly. We expect to expend significant resources to undertake business, financial and legal due diligence on our potential
acquisition targets, and there is no guarantee that we will complete any acquisition that we pursue.
We
believe we can achieve significant cost-savings by merging the operations of the companies we acquire and after their acquisition
leverage the opportunity to reduce costs through the following methods:
●
Staff
reductions – consolidating resources, such as accounting, marketing and human resources.
●
Economies
of scale – improved purchasing power with a greater ability to negotiate prices with suppliers.
●
Improved
market reach and industry visibility – increase in customer base and entry into new markets.
34
As
a result, we believe that an analysis of the historical costs and expenses of our Target Sellers ( a
company that is the subject of an attempted acquisition) prior to their acquisition will not provide guidance as
to the anticipated results after acquisition. We anticipate that we will be able to achieve significant reductions in our costs
of revenue and selling, general and administrative expenses from the levels currently incurred by the Target Sellers operating
independently, thereby increasing our EBITDA and cash flows.
Components
of our Results of Operations and Financial Condition
Revenue
Our
revenue is comprised of product revenue, software revenue, installation revenue and professional development revenue.
●
Product
and Software revenues. Product and software revenues are derived from the sale of our interactive projectors,
flat panels, peripherals and accessories, along with other third-party products, directly to our customers, as well as through
our network of domestic and international distributors.
●
Installation
revenue. We receive revenue from installation services that we outsource to third parties.
●
Professional
development revenue . We receive revenue from providing professional development services through third parties and our
network of distributors.
Cost
of revenue
Our
cost of revenue is comprised of the following:
●
third-party
logistics costs;
●
costs
to purchase components and finished goods directly;
●
inbound
and outbound freight costs and duties;
●
costs
associated with the repair of products under warranty;
●
write-downs
of inventory carrying value to adjust for excess and obsolete inventory and periodic physical inventory counts;
●
cost
of professionals to deliver the professional development training; and
●
customs
expense.
We
outsource some of our warehouse operations and order fulfillment and we purchase products from related entities and third parties.
Our product costs vary directly with volume and based on the costs of underlying product components as well as the prices we negotiate
with our contract manufacturers. Shipping costs fluctuate with volume as well as with the method of shipping chosen in order to
meet customer demand. As a global company with suppliers centered in Asia and customers located worldwide, we have used, and may
in the future use, air shipping to deliver our products directly to our customers. Air shipping is more costly than sea or ground
shipping or other delivery options. We primarily use air shipping to meet the demand of our products during peak seasons and new
product launches. The Company did not experience material delays in shipping during 2020 that materially negatively impacted
our revenues.
Gross
profit and gross profit margin
Our
gross profit and gross profit margin have been, and may in the future be, influenced by several factors including: product, channel
and geographical revenue mix; changes in product costs related to the release of projector models; component, contract manufacturing
and supplier pricing and foreign currency exchange. As we primarily procure our product components and manufacture our products
in Asia, our suppliers incur many costs, including labor costs, in other currencies. To the extent that exchange rates move unfavorably
for our suppliers, they may seek to pass these additional costs on to us, which could have a material impact on our future average
selling prices and unit costs. Gross profit and gross profit margin may fluctuate over time based on the factors described above.
35
Operating
expenses
We
classify our operating expenses into two categories: research and development and general and administrative.
Research
and development. Research and development expense consists primarily of personnel related costs, prototype and sample costs,
design costs and global product certifications mostly for wireless certifications.
General
and administrative. General and administrative expense consists of personnel related costs, which include salaries, as well
as the costs of professional services, such as accounting and legal, facilities, information technology, depreciation and amortization
and other administrative expenses. General and administrative expense may fluctuate as a percentage of revenue, notably in the
second and third quarters of our fiscal year when we have historically experienced our highest levels of revenue.
Other
income (expense), net
Other
income (expense), net primarily consists of interest expense associated with our debt financing arrangements, gains
(losses) on the settlements of debt and trade payable obligations exchanged for common shares, and the effects of changes in the
fair value of derivative liabilities.
Income
tax expense
We
are subject to income taxes in the United States, United Kingdom, Mexico, Sweden, Finland, Holland, and Germany where we
do business. The United Kingdom, Mexico, Sweden, Finland, Holland, and Germany have a statutory tax rate different
from that in the United States. Additionally, certain of our international earnings are also taxable in the United States. Accordingly,
our effective tax rates will vary depending on the relative proportion of foreign to U.S. income, the absorption of foreign tax
credits, changes in the valuation of our deferred tax assets and liabilities and changes in tax laws. We regularly assess the
likelihood of adverse outcomes resulting from the examination of our tax returns by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service, or IRS,
and other tax authorities to determine the adequacy of our income tax reserves and expense. Should actual events or results differ
from our current expectations, charges or credits to our income tax expense may become necessary. Any such adjustments could have
a significant impact on our results of operations.
Operating
Results – Boxlight Corporation
For
the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019.
Revenues.
Total revenues for the year ended December 31, 2020 were $54.9 million as compared to $33.0 million for the
year ended December 31, 2019, resulting in a 66% increase. Revenues consist of product revenue, software revenue, product
installation and professional development. The increase in revenues was primarily a result of the acquisition of Sahara Presentation
Systems in September 2020 and increased demand for our solutions in both the U.S. and Europe, the Middle East, and Africa (together
“EMEA”).
Cost
of Revenues. Cost of revenues for the year ended December 31, 2020 was $45.0 million as compared to $24.1 million
for the year ended December 31, 2019, resulting in an 87% increase. Cost of revenues consists primarily of product cost,
freight expenses, customs expense and inventory adjustments. The decrease in cost of revenues decrease was primarily attributable
to a decrease in cost of goods related to hardware sales of $5 million directly related to the decrease in sales volume. The decrease
was partially offset by an increase of $0.5 million in customs expense.
Gross
Profit. Gross profit for the year ended December 31, 2020 was $9.9 million as compared to $8.9 million for the
year ended December 31, 2019. The Gross Profit Margin decreased from 27% in 2019 to 18% in 2020. The gross margin
decrease was driven by the effects of certain Sahara purchase accounting adjustments of $5.1 million. The resulting normalized
gross profit rate for the for the year ended December 31, 2020, was 27%.
36
General
and Administrative Expense. General and administrative expense for the year ended December 31, 2020 was $21.0 million and
39% of revenue as compared to $15.8 million and 48% of revenue for the year ended December 31, 2019. The
increase resulted from additional personnel costs associated with the acquired Sahara operations. As noted in the Adjusted
EBITDA reconciliation table below, there were $0.4 million and $0.1 million of acquisition and restructuring expenses that are
backed out of general and administration expenses because of their non-recurring nature.
Research
and Development Expense. Research and development expense was $1.4 million and 3% of revenue for the year ended December 31,
2020 as compared to $1.2 million and 4% of revenue for the year ended December 31, 2019. Research and development
expense primarily consists of costs associated with development of proprietary technology. The increase in research and development
expense was primarily driven by an increase in contract services related to software development.
Other
income (expense), net. Other expense for the year ended December 31, 2020 was $(4.3) million as compared to $(1.3)
million for the year ended December 31, 2019. Other expense increased primarily due to an increase in interest expense of
$1.0 million associated with increased borrowings, and $3.1 million of losses incurred on the settlement of certain
debt obligations in exchange for issuance of common shares.
Net
loss. Net losses were $16.2 million and $9.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
The increase in the net loss was primarily due to lower sales volume, increased salaries and bonus expense, and increased interest
expense.
To
provide investors with additional insight and allow for a more comprehensive understanding of the information used by management
in its financial and decision-making surrounding operations, we supplement our consolidated financial statements presented on
a basis consistent with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) with EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, both
non-GAAP financial measures of earnings.
EBITDA
represents net income (loss) before income tax expense, interest income, interest expense, depreciation and amortization. Adjusted
EBITDA represents EBITDA, plus stock compensation expense and non-recurring expenses and minus changes in fair value of derivative
liabilities. Our management uses EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as financial measures to evaluate the profitability and efficiency
of our business model. We use these non-GAAP financial measures to assess the strength of the underlying operations of our business.
These adjustments, and the non-GAAP financial measure that is derived from them, provide supplemental information to analyze our
operations between periods and over time. We find this especially useful when reviewing results of operations, which include large
non-cash amortizations of intangibles assets from acquisitions. Investors should consider our non-GAAP financial measures in addition
to, and not as a substitute for, financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.
The
following table contains reconciliations of net losses to EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA for the periods presented.

Discussion
of Effect of Seasonality on Financial Condition
Certain
accounts on our balance sheets are subject to seasonal fluctuations. As our business and revenues grow, we expect these seasonal
trends to be reduced. The bulk of our products are shipped to our educational customers prior to the beginning of the school year,
usually in July, August or September. To prepare for the upcoming school year, we generally build up inventories during the second
quarter of the year. Therefore, inventories tend to be at the highest levels at that point in time. In the first quarter of the
year, inventories tend to decline significantly as products are delivered to customers and we do not need the same inventory levels
during the first quarter. Accounts receivable balances tend to be at the highest levels in the third quarter, in which we record
the highest level of sales.
Due
to travel restrictions and concerns for the safety for our employees during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, we have temporarily
eliminated all face-to-face meetings with customers and attendance at tradeshow events. In addition, we have limitations
related to school access as a result of school closures. We are currently assessing the impact these changes will have on our
peak season sales. Our initial assessment is that funding priority will be given to initiatives that provide for continuity of
learning which may result in lower priority on total learning solution sales including hardware, software and teacher training.
We
have been very proactive, and will continue to be proactive, in obtaining contracts during the fourth and first quarters that
will help offset the seasonality of our business.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
As
of December 31, 2020, we had cash and cash equivalents of $13.5 million, a working capital position of $21.0 million,
and a current ratio of 1.53. This financial position represents a significant improvement from a year ago at December 31, 2019
when we had a working capital deficit of $(7.3) million and $1.2 million of cash and cash equivalents.
For
the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, we had net cash used in operating activities of $4.7 million and $4.3 million,
respectively. We had net cash used in investing activities of $45.3 million during the year ended December 31, 2020, and net
cash provided by investing activities of $6 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2019. In addition, we had net cash provided
by financing activities of $65.6 million and $4.5 million during the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
In
addition to the cash flows generated by our ongoing operating activities we financed our operations during 2020 with a new $20.0
million tranche of debt funded by our primary lender, and from a pre-existing accounts receivable financing arrangement with
another lender who purchases 85% of the eligible accounts receivable of the Company, up to $6.0 million, with the right
of recourse. Our accounts receivable and our ability to borrow against accounts receivable provides an additional source of liquidity
as cash payments are collected from customers in the normal course of business. Our accounts receivable balance fluctuates throughout
the year based on the seasonality of the business.
In
the current COVID-19 pandemic environment, the availability of capital has been significantly reduced and the cost of capital
has increased. Increasing our capital through equity issuance at this time could cause significant dilution to our existing stockholders
as a result of diminished stock value due to market volatility and uncertainty arising from the COVID-19 pandemic. However, the
Company is confident that it will be able to manage through the current challenges in the equity and debt finance markets
by managing payment terms with customers and vendors.
38
Our
cash requirements consist primarily of day-to-day operating expenses, capital expenditures and contractual obligations with respect
to facility leases and other operating leases. We lease all of our office facilities. We expect to make future payments on existing
leases from cash generated from operations. We have limited credit available from our major vendors and are required to prepay
for the majority of our inventory purchases, which further constrains our cash liquidity.
We
believe that the combination of our cash and cash equivalents on hand, cash provided by our operating activities, funds available
from our accounts receivable financing facility, and access to the equity markets if and when needed, will be sufficient for the
Company to meet its operating obligations and debt service requirements at least for the next year.
The
Company had an accumulated deficit of $47.5 million as of December 31,2020 and net cash used in operations of $4.8
million for the year ended December 31, 2020.
Recent
Financing

September 21, 2020, we and Lind Global Asset Management (“Lind Global”) entered into a securities purchase agreement
(the “Lind Global SPA”), pursuant to which Lind Global purchased from the Company a $22,000,000 secured convertible
note (the “Convertible Note”) in exchange for payment of $20,000,000 (the “Funding”). Under the terms
of the Lind Global SPA, in addition to the issuance of the Convertible Note, the Company paid to Lind (i) a commitment fee of
$400,000 and (ii) a bonus fee (the “Bonus Payment”) of $500,000 payable in shares of Class A common stock of the Company
(the “Common Stock”), with the per share price of the Bonus Payment shares calculated based on the 20-day VWAP of
the Common Stock prior to closing. The Convertible Note has a term of 24-months, bears a 4% interest rate (0% interest so long
as the Common Stock trades at $3.50 or more per share), is repayable in 22 equal instalments commencing 60 days after the Funding
and, at the option of the Company, may be repaid in either cash or Class A common stock. Class A common stock issuable to Lind

for underwriting the Offering, Maxim and National together received an underwriting discount of 7% of the Offering and the Over-Allotment
Option and were reimbursed for up to $85,000 in underwriting expenses. The June Offering was conducted pursuant to the Company’s
registration statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-238634) previously filed with and subsequently declared effective by the SEC.
On
February 4, 2020, we and Lind Global Marco Fund, LP (the “Investor” or “Lind”) entered into a purchase
agreement (the “2020 SPA”) pursuant to which we received $750,000 in exchange for the issuance to Lind of (1) an $825,000
convertible promissory note, payable at an 8% interest rate, compounded monthly (the “2020 Note”), (2) certain shares
of restricted Company Class A common stock valued at $60,000, calculated based on the 20-day volume average weighted price of
the Class A common stock for the period ended February 4, 2020, and (3) a commitment fee of $26,250. The Note matures over 24
months, with repayment to commence August 4, 2020, after which time the Company will be obligated to make monthly payments of
$45,833 (the “Monthly Payments”), plus interest. Interest payments owed under the 2020 Note (the “Interest Payments”)
accrue beginning on the one-month anniversary of the issuance of the Note, however such Interest Payments accrued during
the first six months of the Note, after which time the Interest Payments, including such accrued Interest Payments, shall be payable
on a monthly basis in either conversion shares or in cash. We may make the Monthly Payments and any Interest Payments in shares
of the Company’s Class A common stock so long as such shares are either registered for resale under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended, or may be sold without restriction pursuant to Rule 144 thereunder. As such, the Monthly Payments may be subject
to reduction in any month by any amounts converted into the Company’s Class A common stock. In connection with this
transaction the Company and Lind amended and restated the $4,400,000 note and the $1,375,000 note referred to below that
we issued to Lind in March and December 2019, respectively, to provide that we would not make any payments under the Lind notes
in the form of Class A Common Stock if such payments could cause the Company to violate any rules of the Nasdaq Capital Market.
In

8% per annum and principal payments in 18 equal monthly instalments of $76,388 each. So long as shares of our Class A common
stock are registered for resale under the Securities Act or may be sold without restriction on the number of shares or manner
of sale, we have the right to make interest payments in the form of additional shares of Class A common stock. We have the right
to prepay the convertible note at any time with no penalty (the “Buy-Back Right”). Should we exercise our Buy-Back
Right, Lind will have the option of converting 25% of the outstanding $1.4 million principal amount of the note into shares
of our Class A common stock.
40
On
March 22, 2019, we entered into a securities purchase agreement with Lind for a $4,000,000 of working capital financing for Boxlight

Critical
Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our
consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles accepted in the United
States. In connection with the preparation of our financial statements, we are required to make assumptions and estimates about
future events and apply judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, expenses and the related disclosures.
We base our assumptions, estimates and judgments on historical experience, current trends and other factors that management believes
to be relevant at the time our consolidated financial statements are prepared. On a regular basis, we review the accounting policies,
assumptions, estimates and judgments to ensure that our financial statements are presented fairly and in accordance with GAAP.
However, because future events and their effects cannot be determined with certainty, actual results could differ from our assumptions
and estimates, and such differences could be material.
Our
significant accounting policies are discussed in in detail Note 1 to the enclosed consolidated financial statements, and briefly
summarized below. We believe that the following accounting estimates are the most critical to aid in fully understanding and evaluating
our reported financial results, and they require our most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, resulting from the need
to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain :

REVENUE
RECOGNITION
In
accordance with the FASB’s Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with
Customers) , the Company recognizes revenue at the amount to which it expects to be entitled when control of the products or
services is transferred to its customers. Control is generally transferred when the Company has a present right to payment and
the significant risks and rewards of ownership of products or services are transferred to its customers. Product revenue is derived
from the sale of projectors, interactive panels and related software and accessories to distributors, resellers, and end users.
Service revenue is derived from hardware maintenance services, product installation, training, software maintenance, and subscription
services.
The
Company’s sales of interactive devices, including panels, projectors, and other interactive devices generally include hardware
maintenance services, a license to software, and the provision of related software maintenance. In most cases, interactive devices
are sold with hardware maintenance services with terms ranging from 36 – 60 months. Software maintenance includes technical
support, product updates on a when and if available basis, and error correction services. At times, non-interactive projectors
are also sold with hardware maintenance services with terms ranging from 36-60 months. The Company also licenses software independently
of its interactive devices, in which case it is bundled with software maintenance, and in some cases, subscription services that
include access to on-line content, access to replacement parts, and cloud-based applications. The Company’s software subscription
services provide access to content and software applications on an as needed basis over the Internet, but do not provide the right
to take delivery of the software applications.
The
Company’s product sales, including those with software and related services, generally include a single payment up front
for the products and services, and revenue is recorded net of estimated sales returns and rebates based on the Company’s
expectations and historical experience. For most of the Company’s product sales, control transfers, and therefore, revenue
is recognized when products are shipped at the point of origin. When the Company transfers control of its products to the customer
prior to the related shipping and handling activities, the Company has adopted a policy of accounting for shipping and handling
activities as a fulfillment cost rather than a performance obligation. For software product sales, control is transferred when
the customer receives the related interactive hardware since the customer’s connection to the interactive hardware activates
the software license at which time the software is made available to the customer. For the Company’s software maintenance,
hardware maintenance, and subscription services, revenue is recognized ratably over time as the services are provided since time
is the best output measure of how those services are transferred to the customer.
The
Company’s installation, training and professional development services are generally sold separately from the Company’s
products. Control of these services is transferred to our customers over time with hours/time incurred in providing the service
being the best depiction of the transfer of services since the customer is receiving the benefit of the services as the work is
performed.
For
contracts with multiple performance obligations, each of which represent promises within a contract that are distinct, the Company
allocates revenue to all distinct performance obligations based on their relative stand-alone selling prices (“SSPs”).
BUSINESS
ACQUISITIONS
The
Company’s business acquisitions are accounted for as a business combination, in accordance with Topic 350 “ Business
Combinations ”, which requires, among other things, that assets acquired, and liabilities assumed be recognized at
their estimated fair values as of the acquisition date on the consolidated balance sheet. Transaction costs are expensed as incurred.
Any excess of the consideration transferred over the assigned values of the net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. Income
taxes, where applicable, are recognized and measured in accordance with Topic 740, Accounting for Income Taxes. Determining
the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed requires management to use significant judgement and estimates, including
the selection of valuation methodologies, estimates of future revenue, costs and cash flows, and discount rates.
GOODWILL
and INTANGIBLE ASSETS
Goodwill
represents the cost in excess of the fair value of the net assets of acquired businesses. Goodwill is not amortized and is not
deductible for tax purposes. Under ASC Topic 350 “ Business Combinations” , we have an option to perform a “qualitative”
assessment of the Company to determine whether further impairment testing is necessary. If an entity believes, as a result of
its qualitative assessment, that it is more-likely-than-not that the fair value of the business is less than carrying amount,
the quantitative impairment test is required. Otherwise, no further testing is required. If we determine that the Company meets
these criteria, we perform a qualitative assessment. In this qualitative assessment, we consider the following items: macroeconomic
conditions, industry and market conditions, overall financial performance and other entity specific events. In addition, we assess
whether the most recent fair value determination results in an amount that exceeds the carrying amount of the Company. Based on
these assessments, we determine whether the likelihood that a current fair value determination would be less than the current
carrying amount is not more likely than not.
42
Because
the qualitative assessment is an option, we may bypass it for any reporting unit in any period as begin our analysis with the
quantitative impairment test. We may elect to perform a quantitative impairment test based on the period of time that has passed
since the most recent determination of fair value, even when the we do not believe that it is more-likely-than-not that the fair
value of the business is less than carrying amount.
In
analyzing goodwill for potential impairment in the quantitative impairment test, we use a combination of the income and market
approaches to estimate the fair value. Under the income approach, we calculate the fair value based on estimated future discounted
cash flows. The assumptions we use are based on what we believe a hypothetical marketplace participant would use in estimating
fair value. Under the market approach, we estimate the fair value based on market multiples of revenue or earnings before interest,
income taxes, depreciation and amortization for benchmark companies. If the fair value exceeds carrying value, then no further
testing is required. However, if the fair value were to be less than carrying value, we would then determine the amount of the
impairment charge, if any, which would be the amount that the carrying value of the goodwill exceeded its implied value.
Intangible
assets are amortized using the straight-line method over their estimated period of benefit. We evaluate the recoverability of
intangible assets periodically and take into account events or circumstances that warrant revised estimates of useful lives or
that indicate that impairment exists. No material impairments of intangible assets have been identified during any of the periods
presented. Intangible assets are tested for impairment on an annual basis, and between annual tests if indicators of potential
impairment exist, using a fair-value-based approach.
SHARE-BASED
COMPENSATION
The
Company estimates the fair value of each stock compensation award at the grant date by using the Black-Scholes option pricing
model. The fair value determined represents the cost for the award and is recognized over the vesting period during which an employee
is required to provide service in exchange for the award. Accordingly, stock compensation expense is recognized based on the estimated
fair value of the awards which is amortized as compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. Total expense
related to the award is reduced by the fair value of the options that are forfeited by the employees that leave the Company prior
to vesting.
INCOME
TAXES
The
Company follows the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes pursuant to the pertinent guidance issued by the
FASB. Deferred income taxes are recorded to reflect the estimated future tax effects of differences between the financial statement
and tax basis of assets, liabilities, operating losses, and tax credit carry forwards using the tax rates expected to be in effect
when the temporary differences reverse. Valuation allowances, if any, are recorded to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount
management considers more likely than not to be realized. Such valuation allowances are recorded for the portion of the deferred
tax assets that are not expected to be realized based on the levels of historical taxable income and projections for future taxable
income over the periods in which the temporary differences will be deductible.
Emerging
Growth Company
We
are an “emerging growth company,” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, or the JOBS Act.
Accordingly, certain specified reporting and other regulatory requirements for public companies are reduced for businesses that
meet the qualifications for emerging growth companies.
These
provisions include:
(1)
an
exemption from the auditor attestation requirement in the assessment of our internal controls over financial reporting required
by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002;
(2)
an
exemption from the adoption of new or revised financial accounting standards until they would apply to private companies;
(3)
an
exemption from compliance with any new requirements adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, or the PCAOB,
requiring mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the auditor’s report in which the auditor would be required
to provide additional information about our audit and our financial statements; and
(4)
reduced
disclosure about our executive compensation arrangements.

Report
of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To
the Shareholders and the Board of Directors of Boxlight Corporation
Opinion
on the Consolidated Financial Statements
We
have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Boxlight Corporation and its subsidiaries (the “Company”)
as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, changes in stockholders’
equity and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2020, and the related notes (collectively referred
to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects,
the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for
each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2020, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
Change
in Accounting Principle
As
discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company changed its method of accounting for revenue recognition in 2019
with the adoption of Accounting Standards Codification Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers.
Basis
for Opinion
These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on
the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company
in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission
and the PCAOB.
We
conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits
to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error
or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial
reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not
for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our
audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to
error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence
regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles
used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

NOTE
1 – ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
COMPANY
HISTORY AND RECENT ACQUISITIVE GROWTH
Boxlight
Corporation (the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on September 18, 2014 with its headquarters
in Atlanta, Georgia for the purpose of becoming a technology company that sells interactive educational products. The Company
designs, produces and distributes interactive technology solutions to the education market.
On
September 24, 2020, the Company acquired Sahara Presentation
Systems PLC, a leader in distributed and manufactured AV solutions. Headquartered in the United Kingdom, Sahara is a leader in
distributed AV products and a manufacturer of multi-award-winning touchscreens and digital signage products, including
the globally renowned Clevertouch and Sedao brands.
On
April 17, 2020, the Company acquired the assets, and assumed
certain liabilities of MyStemKits and STEM Education Holdings, Pty, an Australian corporation (“STEM”), the largest
online collection of K-12 STEM curriculum for 3D printing.
On
March 12, 2019, the Company entered into an asset purchase agreement
with Modern Robotics Inc. (MRI), based in Miami, Florida. MRI is engaged in the business of developing, selling and distributing
science, technology, engineering and math (STEM), robotics and programming solutions to the global education market.
On
August 31, 2018, the Company acquired 100% of the membership interest equity of EOS, an Arizona limited liability company.
EOS is in the business of providing technology consulting, training, and professional development services to create sustainable
programs that integrate technology with curriculum in K-12 schools and districts.
On
June 22, 2018, the Company
100% of the capital stock of the Qwizdom Companies. The Qwizdom Companies develop interactive whiteboard software and
online solutions that are quick to implement and designed to increase participation, provide immediate data feedback, and,
most importantly, accelerate and improve comprehension and learning. The Qwizdom Companies have offices outside Seattle, WA and
Belfast, Northern Ireland and deliver products in 44 languages to customers around the world through a network of partners.
On
May 9, 2018, the Company acquired 100% of the capital
stock of Cohuba based in Lancashire, England. Cohuba produces, sells and distributes interactive display panels designed to provide
new learning and working experiences through high-quality technologies and solutions through in-room and room-to-room multi-devices
multi-user collaboration.
BASIS
OF PRESENTATION AND PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
The
accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Boxlight Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiaries.
Intercompany transactions and account balances among all of affiliated entities have been eliminated.
In
the opinion of management, the consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, which are normal and recurring in nature
and necessary for fair financial statement presentation.
ESTIMATES
AND ASSUMPTIONS
The
preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”)
requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of certain assets and liabilities, disclosure
of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues
and expenses during the reporting period. Actual amounts could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates include estimates
of allowances for bad debts, and inventory obsolescence; the recoverability deferred tax assets; the fair value
and the recoverability of warrants; the initial fair value of preferred stock, intangible assets and goodwill; stock
compensation, fair values of assets acquired and estimates for contingent liabilities.
COMPREHENSIVE
INCOME
Comprehensive
income (loss) reflects the change in equity during the year and is comprised of all components of net income (loss and foreign
currency translation adjustments.
FOREIGN
CURRENCIES
The
Company’s reporting currency is the U.S. dollar.
The
U.S. dollar is the currency of the primary economic environment
in which it operates and is generally the currency in which the Company business generates and expends cash. Subsidiaries
with different functional currencies, translates their assets and liabilities into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates
in effect as of the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated into U.S. dollars at the average exchange rates for
the year. The resulting translation adjustments are included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), a separate
component of equity (deficit). Foreign exchange gains and losses arise from transactions denominated in currencies other than
the functional currency. Gains and losses on those foreign currency transactions are included in determining net income for the
period in the exchange rates change.
CASH
AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
The
Company considers all highly liquid short-term investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash
equivalents. These investments are carried at cost, which approximates fair value. The Company maintains cash balances at financial
institutions which, from time to time, may exceed Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insured limits of $250,000 for banks located
in the U.S. The Company has not experienced any losses with regard to its bank accounts and believes it is not exposed to any
risk of loss on its cash bank accounts.
ACCOUNTS
RECEIVABLE AND ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS
Accounts
receivable are stated at contractual amounts, net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. The allowance for doubtful accounts represents
management’s estimate of the amounts that ultimately will not be realized in cash. The Company reviews the adequacy of the
allowance for doubtful accounts on an ongoing basis, using historical payment trends, the age of receivables and knowledge of
the individual customers. When the analysis indicates, management increases or decreases the allowance accordingly. However, if
the financial condition of our customers were to deteriorate, additional allowances might be required.
F- 6
INVENTORIES
Inventories
are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value and include spare parts and finished goods. Inventories are primarily
determined using specific identification and the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) cost methods. Cost includes direct
cost from the Current Manufacturer (“CM”) or Original Equipment Manufacturer (“OEM”), plus material overhead
related to the purchase, inbound freight and import duty costs.
The
Company continuously reviews its inventory levels to identify slow-moving merchandise and markdowns necessary to clear slow-moving
merchandise, which reduces the cost of inventories to its estimated net realizable value. Consideration is given to several quantitative
and qualitative factors, including current pricing levels and the anticipated need for subsequent markdowns, aging of inventories,
historical sales trends, and the impact of market trends and economic conditions. Estimates of markdown requirements may differ
from actual results due to changes in quantity, quality and mix of products in inventory, as well as changes in consumer preferences,
market and economic conditions.
PROPERTY
AND EQUIPMENT
Property
and equipment is stated at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated life of the asset. Repairs and
maintenance are charged to expense as incurred.
LONG–LIVED
ASSETS
Long-lived
assets to be held and used or disposed of other than by sale are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances
indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. When required, impairment losses on assets to be held and used or disposed
of other than by sale are recognized based on the fair value of the asset. Long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale are reported
at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell.
BUSINESS
COMBINATIONS
Transactions
in which the Company acquires or obtains control of one or more businesses are accounted for as business combinations in accordance
with Topic 350, Business Combinations, which requires, among other things, that assets acquired, and liabilities assumed
be recognized at their estimated fair values as of the acquisition date on the balance sheet. Income taxes, where applicable,
are recognized and measured in accordance with Topic 740, Accounting for Income Taxes. Determining the fair value of assets
acquired and liabilities assumed requires management to use significant judgement and estimates, including the selection of valuation
methodologies, estimates of future revenue, costs and cash flows, and discount rates. Transaction costs are expenses as incurred.
Any excess consideration transferred over he assigned values of net assets acquired would be recorded as goodwill.
GOODWILL
Goodwill
represents the cost in excess of the fair value of the net tangible and intangible assets of acquired businesses, and represents
implied synergies expected of the completed business combinations. Goodwill is not amortized and is not deductible for tax purposes.
Under
ASC 350, Business Combinations , we have an option to perform a “qualitative” assessment to determine whether
quantitative impairment testing is necessary. If, as a result of a qualitative assessment, it is more-likely-than-not
that the fair value of the business is less than carrying amount, quantitative impairment testing is required. Otherwise, no further
testing is necessary. If we perform a qualitative assessment, we consider the following criteria: macroeconomic conditions, industry
and market conditions, overall financial performance and other entity specific events. In addition, we assess whether the most
recent fair value determination resulted in an amount that significantly exceeded the carrying amount of the Company. Based on
these assessments, we determine whether the likelihood that a current fair value determination would be less than the current
carrying amount is not more likely than not.
Because
the qualitative assessment is an option, we may bypass it for any reporting unit in any period and begin the analysis using a
quantitative impairment test. We may also elect to perform a quantitative impairment test based on the period of time that has
passed since the most recent determination of fair value, even when we do not believe that it is more-likely-than-not that
the fair value of the business is less than carrying amount.
F- 7
In
analyzing goodwill for potential impairment in the quantitative impairment test, we use a combination of the income and market
approaches to estimate the fair value. Under the income approach, we calculate the fair value based on estimated future discounted
cash flows. The assumptions we use are based on what we believe a hypothetical marketplace participant would use in estimating
fair value. Under the market approach, we estimate the fair value based on market multiples of revenue or earnings before interest,
income taxes, depreciation and amortization for benchmark companies. If the fair value exceeds carrying value, then no further
testing is required. However, if the fair value were to be less than carrying value, we would then determine the amount of the
impairment charge, if any, which would be the amount that the carrying value of the goodwill exceeded its implied value. No goodwill
impairments have been identified and recognized during any of the periods presented.
Being
that the acquisition of Sahara September 24, 2020, the business has performed at or better than expected, and there are no indicators
of possible impairment, the Company believes that the carrying amount does not exceed the fair value for the reporting unit. Goodwill
arising from the Sahara acquisition was not included in the goodwill impairment testing for 2020 but will be included in the impairment
testing in 2021.
Intangible
assets
Intangible
assets are amortized using the straight-line method over their estimated period of benefit. We evaluate the recoverability of
intangible assets periodically and consider events or circumstances that warrant revised estimates of useful lives or that indicate
that impairment exists. No material impairments of intangible assets have been identified during any of the periods presented.
Intangible assets are tested for impairment on an annual basis, and between annual tests if indicators of potential impairment
exist, using a fair-value-based approach.
DERIVATIVE
TREATMENT OF STOCK PURCHASE WARRANTS
The
Company classifies common stock purchase warrants as equity if the contracts (i) require physical settlement or net-share settlement
or (ii) give the Company a choice of net-cash settlement or settlement in its own shares (physical settlement or net-share settlement).
The Company classifies any contracts that (i) require net-cash settlement (including a requirement to net cash settle the contract
if an event occurs and if that event is outside the control of the Company), (ii) give the counterparty a choice of net-cash settlement
or settlement in shares (physical settlement or net-share settlement), or (iii) contain reset provisions as either an asset or
a liability. The Company assesses classification of its freestanding derivatives at each reporting date to determine whether a
change in classification between equity and liabilities is required.
The
Company determined that certain warrants to purchase common stock do not satisfy the criteria for classification as equity instruments
due to the existence of certain net cash and non-fixed settlement provisions that are not within the sole control of the Company.
Such warrants are measured at fair value at each reporting date, and the changes in fair value are included in determining
net income for the period.
FAIR
VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The
Company’s financial instruments primarily include cash, accounts receivable, derivative liabilities, accounts payable and
debt. Due to the short-term nature of cash, accounts receivables and accounts payable, the carrying amounts of these assets and
liabilities approximate their fair value. Debt approximates fair value due to either the short-term nature or recent execution
of the debt agreement. The amount of consideration received is deemed to be the fair value of long-term debt net of any debt discount
and issuance cost.
Derivatives
liabilities are recorded at fair value at each period end.
Fair
value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset, or paid to transfer a liability, in an orderly transaction
between market participants. A fair value hierarchy has been established for valuation inputs that gives the highest priority
to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. The fair
value hierarchy is as follows:
Level
1 Inputs - Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability
to access at the measurement date.
F- 8
Level
2 Inputs - Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly
or indirectly. These might include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical
or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset
or liability (such as interest rates, volatilities, prepayment speeds, credit risks, etc.) or inputs that are derived principally
from or corroborated by market data by correlation or other means.
Level
3 Inputs - Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable
(supported by little or no market activity).
Financial
assets and liabilities are classified based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The
Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment and may affect
the valuation of the fair value of assets and liabilities and their placement within the fair value hierarchy levels.
The
following tables set forth, by level within the fair value hierarchy, the Company’s financial liabilities that were accounted
for at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2020 and 2019 (in thousands):

REVENUE
RECOGNITION
In
accordance with the FASB’s Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers
(Topic 606) , the Company recognizes revenue at the amount to which it expects to be entitled when control of the products
or services is transferred to its customers. Control is generally transferred when the Company has a present right to payment
and the title and the significant risks and rewards of ownership of products or services are transferred to its customers. Product
revenue is derived from the sale of projectors, interactive panels and related software and accessories to distributors, resellers,
and end users. Service revenue is derived from hardware maintenance services, product installation, training, software maintenance,
and subscription services.
F- 9
Nature
of Products and Services and Related Contractual Provisions
The
Company’s sales of interactive devices, including panels, projectors, and other interactive devices generally include hardware
maintenance services, a license to software, and the provision of related software maintenance. In most cases, interactive devices
are sold with hardware maintenance services with terms of approximately 60 months. Software maintenance includes technical support,
product updates on a when and if available basis, and error correction services. At times, non-interactive projectors are also
sold with hardware maintenance services with terms of approximately 60 months. The Company also licenses software independently
of its interactive devices, in which case it is bundled with software maintenance, and in some cases, subscription services that
include access to on-line content, and cloud-based applications. The Company’s software subscription services provide access
to content and software applications on an as needed basis over the Internet, but do not provide the right to take delivery of
the software applications.
The
Company’s product sales, including those with software and related services, generally include a single payment up front
for the products and services, and revenue is recorded net of estimated sales returns and rebates based on the Company’s
expectations and historical experience. For most of the Company’s product sales, control transfers, and therefore, revenue
is recognized when products are shipped at the point of origin. When the Company transfers control of its products to the customer
prior to the related shipping and handling activities, the Company has adopted a policy of accounting for shipping and handling
activities as a fulfillment cost rather than a performance obligation. For many of the Company’s software product sales,
control is transferred when shipped at the point of origin since the software is installed on the interactive hardware device
in advance of shipping. For software product sales, control is transferred when the customer receives the related interactive
hardware since the customer’s connection to the interactive hardware activates the software license at which time the software
is made available to the customer. For the Company’s software maintenance, hardware maintenance, and subscription services,
revenue is recognized ratably over time as the services are provided since time is the best output measure of how those services
are transferred to the customer.
The
Company’s installation, training and professional development services are generally sold separately from the Company’s
products. Control of these services is transferred to our customers over time with hours/time incurred in providing the service
being the best depiction of the transfer of services since the customer is receiving the benefit of the services as the work is
performed.
For
the sale of third-party products and services where the Company obtains control of the products and services before transferring
it to the customer, the Company recognizes revenue based on the gross amount billed to customers. The Company considers multiple
factors when determining whether it obtains control of the third-party products and services including, but not limited to, evaluating
if it can establish the price of the product, retains inventory risk for tangible products or has the responsibility for ensuring
acceptability of the product or service. The Company has not historically entered into transactions where it does not take control
of the product or service prior to transfer to the customer.
The
Company excludes all taxes assessed by a governmental agency that are both imposed on and concurrent with the specific revenue-producing
transaction from revenue (for example, sales and use taxes). In essence, the Company is reporting these amounts collected on behalf
of the applicable government agency on a net basis as though they are acting as an agent. The taxes collected and not yet remitted
to the governmental agency are included in accounts payable and accrued expenses in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
F- 10
Significant
Judgments
For
contracts with multiple performance obligations, each of which represent promises within a contract that are distinct, the Company
allocates revenue to all distinct performance obligations based on their relative stand-alone selling prices (“SSPs”).
The Company’s products and services included in its contracts with multiple performance obligations generally are not sold
separately and there are no observable prices available to determine the SSP for those products and services. Since observable
prices are not available, SSPs are established that reflect the Company’s best estimates of what the selling prices of the
performance obligations would be if they were sold regularly on a stand-alone basis. The Company’s process for estimating
SSPs without observable prices considers multiple factors that may vary depending upon the unique facts and circumstances related
to each performance obligation including, when applicable, the estimated cost to provide the performance obligation, market trends
in the pricing for similar offerings, product-specific business objectives, and competitor or other relevant market pricing and
margins. Because observable prices are generally not available for the Company’s performance obligations that are sold in
bundled arrangements, the Company does not apply the residual approach to determining SSP. However, the Company does have certain
performance obligations for which pricing is highly variable or uncertain, and contracts with those performance obligations generally
contain multiple performance obligations with highly variable or uncertain pricing. For these contracts the Company allocates
the transaction price to those performance obligations using an alternative method of allocation that is consistent with the allocation
objective and the guidance on determining SSPs in Topic 606 considering, when applicable, the estimated cost to provide the performance
obligation, market pricing for competing product or service offerings, residual values based on the estimated SSP for certain
goods, product-specific business objectives, incremental values for bundled transactions that include a service relative to similar
transactions that exclude the service, and competitor pricing and margins. A separate price has not been established by the Company
for its hardware maintenance services and software maintenance services. In addition, hardware maintenance services, software
solutions, and the related maintenance services are never sold separately and are proprietary in nature, and the related selling
price of these products and services is highly variable or uncertain. Therefore, the SSP of these products and services is estimated
using the alternative method described above, which includes residual value techniques.
The
Company has applied the portfolio approach to its allocation of the transaction price for certain portfolios of contracts that
are executed in the same manner, contain the same performance obligations, and are priced in a consistent manner. The Company
believes that the application of the portfolio approach produces the same result as if they were applied at the contract level.
Contract
Balances
The
timing of invoicing to customers often differs from the timing of revenue recognition and these timing differences can result
in receivables, contract assets, or contract liabilities (deferred revenue) on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.
Fees for the Company’s product and most service contracts are fixed, except as adjusted for rebate programs when applicable,
and are generally due within 30-60 days of contract execution. Fees for installation, training, and professional development services
are fixed and generally become due as the services are performed. The Company has an established history of collecting under the
terms of its contracts without providing refunds or concessions to its customers. The Company’s contractual payment terms
do not vary when products are bundled with services that are provided over multiple years. In these contracts where services are
expected to be transferred on an ongoing basis for several years after the related payment, the Company has determined that the
contracts generally do not include a significant financing component. The upfront invoicing terms are designed 1) to provide customers
with a predictable way to purchase products and services where the payment is due in the same timeframe as when the products,
which constitute the predominant portion of the contractual value, are transferred, and 2) to ensure that the customer continues
to use the related services, so that the customer will receive the optimal benefit from the products over their lives. Additionally,
the Company has elected the practical expedient to exclude any financing component from consideration for contracts where, at
contract inception, the period between the transfer of services and the timing of the related payment is not expected to exceed
one year.
The
Company has an unconditional right to consideration for all products and services transferred to the customer. That unconditional
right to consideration is reflected in accounts receivable in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets in accordance with
Topic 606. Contract liabilities are reflected in deferred revenue in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and reflect
amounts allocated to performance obligations that have not yet been transferred to the customer related to software maintenance,
hardware maintenance, and subscription services. The Company has no material contract assets on December 31, 2020 or 2019.
During the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company recognized $2.0 million and $2.0 million, respectively
of revenue that was included in the deferred revenue balance as of December 31, 2019 and January 1, 2019, respectively,
as adjusted for Topic 606, at the beginning of the period.
F- 11
Variable
Consideration
The
Company’s otherwise fixed consideration in its customer contracts may vary when refunds or credits are provided for sales
returns, stock rotation rights, price protection provisions, or in connection with certain other rebate provisions. The Company
generally does not allow product returns other than under assurance warranties or hardware maintenance contracts. However, the
Company, on a case-by-case basis, will grant exceptions, mostly “buyer’s remorse” where the distributor or reseller’s
end customer either did not understand what they were ordering, or determined that the product did not meet their needs. An allowance
for sales returns is estimated based on an analysis of historical trends. In very limited situations, a customer may return previous
purchases held in inventory for a specified period of time in exchange for credits toward additional purchases. The Company includes
variable consideration in its transaction price when there is a basis to reasonably estimate the amount of the fee and it is probable
there will not be a significant reversal. These estimates are generally made using the expected value method based on historical
experience and are measured at each reporting date. There was no material revenue recognized in 2020 related to changes in estimated
variable consideration that existed at December 31, 2019.
Remaining
Performance Obligations
A
performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to the customer and is the unit of accounting
within the contract. The transaction price is allocated to each distinct performance obligation and recognized as revenue when,
or as, the performance obligation is satisfied by transferring the promised good or service to the customer. The Company identifies
performance obligations at contract inception so that it can monitor and account for the obligations over the life of the contract.
Remaining performance obligations represent the portion of the transaction price in a contract allocated to products and services
not yet transferred to the customer. As of December 31, 2020, and 2019, the aggregate amount of the contractual transaction prices
allocated to remaining performance obligations was $16.1 million and $4.6 million, respectively. The Company expects to recognize
revenue on approximately 43% of the remaining performance obligations in 2021, 45% in 2022 and 2023, with the remainder recognized
thereafter.
In
accordance with Topic 606, the Company has elected not to disclose the value of remaining performance obligations for contracts
for which the Company recognizes revenue at the amount to which it has the right to invoice for services performed (for example,
a time-and-materials professional services contracts). In addition, the Company has elected not to disclose the value of remaining
performance obligations for contracts with performance obligations that are expected, at contract inception, to be satisfied over
a period that does not exceed one year.
Disaggregated
Revenue
The
Company disaggregates revenue based upon the nature of its products and services and the timing and in the manner which it is
transferred to the customer. Although all products are transferred to the customer at a point in time, hardware and some software
is pre-installed on the interactive device are transferred at the point of shipment, while some software is transferred to the
customer at the time the hardware is received by the customer or when software product keys are delivered electronically to the
customer. All service revenue is transferred over time to the customer; however, professional services are generally transferred
to the customer within a year from the contract date as measured based upon hours or time incurred while software maintenance,
hardware maintenance, and subscription services are generally transferred over 5 years from the contract execution date as measured
based upon the passage of time.

Contract
Costs
The
Company capitalizes incremental costs to obtain a contract with a customer if the Company expects to recover those costs. The
incremental costs to obtain a contract are those that the Company incurs to obtain a contract with a customer that it would not
have otherwise incurred if the contract were not obtained (e.g., a sales commission). The Company capitalizes the costs incurred
to fulfil a contract only if those costs meet all the following criteria:
●
The
costs relate directly to a contract or to an anticipated contract that the Company can specifically identify.
●
The
costs generate or enhance resources of the Company that will be used in satisfying (or in continuing to satisfy) performance
obligations in the future.
●
The
costs are expected to be recovered.
Certain
sales commissions incurred by the Company were determined to be incremental costs to obtain the related contracts, which are deferred
and amortized ratably over the estimated economic benefit period. For these sales commissions that are incremental costs to obtain
where the period of amortization would have been recognized over a period that is one year or less, the Company elected the practical
expedient to expense those costs as incurred. Commission costs that are deferred are classified as current or non-current assets
based on the timing of when the Company expects to recognize the expense and are included in prepaid and other assets and other
assets, respectively, in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Total deferred commissions at December 31, 2020 and 2019
and the related amortization for 2019 were less than $0.1 million.
The
Company has not historically incurred any material fulfilment costs that meet the criteria for capitalization.
WARRANTY
RESERVE
For
customers that do not purchase hardware maintenance services, the Company generally provides warranty coverage on projectors and
accessories, batteries and computers. This warranty coverage does not exceed 24 months, and the Company establishes a liability
for estimated product warranty costs, included in other short-term liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets, at the time
the related product revenue is recognized. The warranty obligation is affected by historical product failure rates and the related
use of materials, labor costs and freight incurred in correcting any product failure. Should actual product failure rates, use
of materials, or other costs differ from the Company’s estimates, additional warranty liabilities could be required, which
would reduce its gross profit.
RESEARCH
AND DEVELOPMENT EXPENSES
Research
and development costs are expensed as incurred and consists primarily of personnel related costs, prototype and sample costs,
design costs, and global product certifications mostly for wireless certifications.
INCOME
TAXES
An
asset and liability approach is used for financial accounting and reporting for income taxes. Deferred income taxes arise from
temporary differences between income tax and financial reporting and principally relate to recognition of revenue and expenses
in different periods for financial and tax accounting purposes and are measured using currently enacted tax rates and laws. In
addition, a deferred tax asset can be generated by net operating loss carryforwards. If it is more likely than not that some portion
or all of a deferred tax asset will not be realized, a valuation allowance is recognized.
F- 13
STOCK-BASED
COMPENSATION
The
Company estimates the fair value of each stock-based compensation award at the grant date by using the Black-Scholes option pricing
model. The fair value determined represents the cost for the award and is recognized on a straight-line basis over the
vesting period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award. Total expense is reduced by
the fair value of the options that are forfeited prior to vesting when the forfeiture occurs.
SUBSEQUENT
EVENTS
We
reviewed all material events through the date of these consolidated financial statements were issued for subsequent event disclosure
consideration as described in Note 16.
NEW
ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In
May 2014, the FASB issued Topic 606, which replaced the previous revenue recognition guidance. The Company adopted Topic 606 effective
January 1, 2019 using the modified retrospective transition method. Under this method, the Company elected to apply the cumulative
effect method to all customer contracts as of the adoption date. The impact to revenue in 2019 as a result of the adoption of
Topic 606 was approximately $0.6 million, which is the result of the identification of additional units of accounting or performance
obligations upon adoption of Topic 606. Specifically, the Company identified software (previously combined with hardware for accounting
purposes), the related software maintenance, and hardware maintenance (previously accounted for under guidance applicable to extended
warranties) as units of accounting. Under prior GAAP, no portion of the transaction price was allocated to, and therefore, no
revenue was recognized upon the transfer of these products and services. While revenue related to software may only be deferred
for up to a few days relative to the timing of revenue recognition under prior GAAP, software maintenance and hardware maintenance
revenue will now be recognized over a period of 3-5 years based on the specified term in the contract or the estimated service
term, if not specified. As a result, the cumulative impact due to the adoption of Topic 606 on the opening consolidated balance
sheet was a decrease in opening retained earnings, with an increase in deferred commissions, an increase in deferred revenue,
and a decrease in accrued warranty costs.
We
adopted ASU 2017-04, “Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350: Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment” effective
January 1, 2020. ASU 2017-04 simplifies the assessment of goodwill for impairment by eliminating step two from the goodwill impairment
test. As amended, the goodwill impairment test now consists of one step comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its
carrying value. An entity should recognize a goodwill impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the
reporting unit’s fair value. The new pronouncement had no impact to the Company, as the results from step one did not indicate
any impairment the needed to be recognized.
In
February 2016, the FASB issues ASC 842 “Leases” that creates new accounting and reporting guidelines for leasing
arrangements. The new guidance requires organizations that lease assets to recognize assets and liabilities on the balance sheet
related to the rights and obligations created by those leases, regardless of whether they are classified as finance or operating
leases. Under the previous guidance, the recognition, measurement, and presentation of expenses and cash flows arising from a
lease primarily depended on its classification as a finance or operating lease. The new guidance also requires disclosures to
help financial statement users better understand the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. For Small
Emerging Growth Companies, the new standard is not effective until annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2020,
including interim periods within that reporting period. Earlier application is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating
the impact of this new pronouncement on its financial statements and will adopt the new standard in 2021.
In
June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments Credit Losses” (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit
Losses on Financial Instruments. The new guidance replaces the incurred loss methodology with the current expected credit loss
(CECL) methodology. The measurement of expected credit losses under the CECL methodology is applicable to financial assets measured
at amortized cost, including trade accounts receivable. It also applies to off-balance sheet credit exposures not accounted for
as insurance (loan commitments, standby letters of credit, financial guarantees, and other similar instruments) and net investments
in leases recognized by a lessor in accordance with Topic 842. This new guidance changes the impairment model for most financial
assets and certain other instruments. Since the Company is a Small Emerging Growth Company, the ASU is not effective until fiscal
years beginning after December 15, 2022, and interim periods within that fiscal year. The Company is currently evaluating the
impact that this standard will have, if any, on its financial statements.
In
August 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-06, “Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s
Own Equity.” The new guidance simplifies the accounting for certain convertible instruments and for contracts in an entity’s
own equity. Key provisions include the elimination of the “cash conversion” guidance and the “beneficial conversion
feature” guidance in ASC 470-20 as well as a simplification of the settlement assessment that entities are required to perform
to determine whether a contract qualifies for equity classification by removing certain conditions in ASC 815-40-25. Since the
Company is a Small Emerging Growth Company, the ASU is not effective until annual reporting periods beginning after December 15,
2023. Earlier application is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that this standard will have on its financial
statements.
F- 14
In
December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, “Income Taxes” (Topic 740). The new guidance modifies the requirements
for the timing of adoption of enacted change in tax law. The effects of changes on taxes currently payable or refundable for the
current year must be reflected in the computation of annual effective tax rate. Since the Company is an Emerging Growth Company,
the ASU is not effective until fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning
after December 15, 2022. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that this standard will have,
if any, on its financial statements.
There
were various other accounting standards and interpretations issued recently, some of which may be applicable to the Company but
none of which are expected to a have a material impact on our financial position, operations or cash flows.

NOTE
2 – RECENT BUSINESS ACQUISITIONS
The
acquisitions described below were accounted for as business combinations which require, among other things, that assets acquired,
and liabilities assumed be recognized at their estimated fair values as of the acquisition date. Deferred income taxes are
recognized and measured in accordance with Topic 740 “ Accounting for Income Taxes ”. Transaction costs are
expensed as incurred. Any excess of the consideration transferred over the assigned values of the net assets acquired would be
recorded as goodwill.
Sahara
Presentation Systems PLC
On
September 24, 2020, the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding shares of Sahara Holdings Limited, a private limited company
operating under the laws of the UK and all of its subsidiaries, including Sahara Presentation Systems PLC (collectively, “Sahara”).
Sahara is a distributor of audio and video software and equipment including the Clevertouch branded product line of interactive
touch screens. This strategic acquisition expanded the Company’s geographic footprint, industry verticals served, and enhanced
the Company’s technology and product offerings.
As
consideration for the purchase of Sahara, the Company transferred $73.7 million to the Sellers, including $44.9 million in cash
(net of $6.0 million in cash acquired) and $28.9 million in convertible preferred stock. The convertible preferred stock was comprised
of 1,586,620 shares of Series B convertible redeemable preferred stock (the “Series B Preferred Stock”) and 1,320,850
shares of Series C convertible redeemable preferred stock (the “Series C Preferred Stock”). The fair value of the
preferred shares issued was $16.5 million and $12.4 million for the Series B Preferred Stock and Series C Preferred Stock, respectively.
See further discussion of the features of the preferred shares in Note 11.
The
consideration transferred to the selling shareholders along with the assets acquired and liabilities assumed were recorded at
their estimated fair values at the acquisition date. Determining the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, and
the issued shares of Series B Preferred Stock and Series C Preferred Stock requires management to use significant judgment and
estimates, including the selection of valuation methodologies, estimates of future revenue, costs and cash flows, discount rates,
and selection of comparable companies. The Company engaged the assistance of an independent third-party valuation specialist to
determine certain fair value measurements related to acquired assets, and the Series B Preferred Stock, and the Series C Preferred
Stock. The excess consideration over the net fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed was recognized as goodwill.
The
fair value of the deferred revenue at the date of acquisition was determined based on the estimated direct and incremental costs
to fulfill the remaining performance obligations associated with the deferred revenue, plus a reasonable profit margin. Accordingly,
the carrying amount of deferred revenue at the acquisition date was reduced to its estimated fair value based on the assumptions
above which has resulted in and will result in a reduction in revenue that otherwise would have been recognized in periods subsequent
to the acquisition date.
The
fair value or net realizable value of inventories at the date of acquisition was determined using a “top-down” approach
based upon the estimated sales value, less a reasonable profit margin and less the estimated costs to dispose of the inventory,
including selling costs and other disposal costs such as freight. Accordingly, the carrying amount of inventories at the acquisition
date was increased to its estimated fair value based on these assumptions which resulted in an increase in cost of revenues subsequent
to the acquisition date in 2020.

Goodwill
is primarily attributable to synergies expected from the acquisition and the assembled workforce. The Company incurred a total
of $0.2 million in acquisition-related costs and expensed all such costs incurred during the period in which the service was received.
Acquisition related costs are included in general and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statement of Operations and
Comprehensive Loss. The results of operations of Sahara since the acquisition are included in the Consolidated Statement of Operations
and Comprehensive Loss for the twelve months ended December 31, 2020. Revenue and net loss attributable to Sahara in the period
from the acquisition date of September 24, 2020 through December 31, 2020 were $24.7 million and $5.3 million, respectively.
As
disclosed in the third quarter unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company had not yet finalized its evaluation
and determination of the fair value of certain assets acquired and liabilities assumed and recorded provisional amounts based
on initial measurements using currently available information. The Company was still gathering information about certain items
including income taxes and deferred income tax assets and liabilities. During the fourth quarter, the Company recorded a measurement
period adjustment to the initial provisional amounts for deferred income tax assets and liabilities and an immaterial out-of-period
correction to the estimated fair value of preferred shares issued which resulting in an increase in goodwill.
The
following unaudited pro forma information reflects our consolidated results of operations as if the acquisition of Sahara had
taken place on January 1, 2019. The unaudited pro forma information is not necessarily indicative of the results of operations
that the Company would have reported had the acquisition actually occurred at the beginning of these periods nor is it necessarily
indicative of future results. The unaudited pro forma financial information does not reflect the impact of future events that
may occur after the acquisition, including, but not limited to, anticipated costs savings from synergies or other operational
improvements. The nature and amount of any material, nonrecurring pro forma adjustments directly attributable to the business
combination are included in the pro forma revenue and net earnings reflected below.

principal and interest due under this note. On July 3, 2018, Mark Elliott, the Company’s Chief Commercial Officer amended
the note to eliminate the conversion provision of the note. As of December 31, 2019, outstanding principal this note was $23.5
thousand. The note was paid in full on July 17, 2020.

NOTE
9 – DERIVATIVE LIABILITIES
At
December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company had warrants that contain net cash settlement provisions or do not have fixed
settlement provisions because their conversion and exercise prices may be lowered if the Company issues securities at lower prices
in the future. The Company concluded that the warrants should be accounted for as derivative liabilities. In determining the fair
value of the derivative liabilities, the Company used the Black-Scholes option pricing model on December 31, 2020 and 2019:

The
Company operates in the United States, United Kingdom and other jurisdictions. Income taxes have been provided based upon the
tax laws and rates of the countries in which operations are conducted and income is earned. The cumulative U.S. Federal net operating
losses carryforward on tax basis income was approximately $26.5 million and $19.6 million at December 31, 2020 and 2019,
respectively, of which $10.6 million will expire between 2029 and 2037 and $15.8 million will carryforward indefinitely.
The cumulative U.S. state net operating losses carryforward was approximately $23.0 million and $19.8 million on
December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The cumulative foreign net operating losses carryforward was $2.9 million and
$2.7 million on December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
Prior
to the Sahara acquisition, the Company had a net deferred tax asset position in the United States, the United Kingdom, and other
jurisdictions, primarily driven by the aforementioned net operating losses. The recoverability of these deferred tax assets depends
on the Company’s ability to generate taxable income in the jurisdiction to which the carryforward applies. It also depends
on specific tax provisions in each jurisdiction that could impact utilization. For example, in the United States, a change in
ownership, as defined by federal income tax regulations, could significantly limit the Company’s ability to utilize our
U.S. net operating loss carryforwards. Additionally, because U.S. tax laws limit the time during which the net operating losses
generated prior to 2018 may be applied against future taxes, if the Company fails to generate U.S. taxable income prior to the
expiration dates, the Company may not be able to fully utilize the net operating loss carryforwards to reduce future income taxes.
The Company has evaluated both positive and negative evidence as to the ability of its legacy entities in each jurisdiction to
generate future taxable income. Based on its long history of cumulative losses in those jurisdictions, it believes it is appropriate
to maintain a full valuation allowance on its net deferred tax asset at December 31, 2020 and 2019. The change in its valuation
allowance during 2020 is approximately $1.2 million.
F- 26
Due
to the Sahara acquisition, the Company has recognized a net deferred tax liability for the acquired entities, primarily driven
by acquired intangible assets for which it does not have tax basis in the jurisdictions in which operates (primarily the United
Kingdom, the Netherlands, and the United States). The Company does not expect to qualify for any consolidated filing positions
in any of these countries, so there is no ability to net the deferred tax liabilities of the Sahara companies against the deferred
tax assets of the legacy Boxlight companies. Therefore, the net deferred tax liability of $7.9 million at December 31,
2020 is entirely based on the Sahara acquired entities.
The
tax years from 2016 to 2020 remain open to examination by the major taxing jurisdictions to which the Company is subject. The
Company has not identified any uncertain tax positions at this time.
On
March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”) was enacted. The CARES Act
includes provisions, among others, addressing the carryback of net operating losses for specific periods, refunds of alternative
minimum tax credits, temporary modifications to the limitations placed on the tax deductibility of net interest expenses, and
technical amendments for qualified improvement property. Additionally, the CARES Act provides for various payroll incentives,
including Payroll Protection Program (“PPP”) loans, refundable employee retention tax credits, and the deferral of
the employer-paid portion of social security payroll taxes. The Company received a $1.1M loan under the PPP, of which over $0.8M
is expected to be forgiven under the requirements of the program. Any unforgiven portion will be paid back under the terms of
the loan. No other provisions of the CARES Act had a material impact on the Company’s tax provision.
On
December 27, 2020, the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2021 - including the COVID-related Tax Relief Act of 2020 - was enacted.
It included a provision that any expenses paid using forgiven PPP loan proceeds would be fully deductible. This has been reflected
in the Company’s tax provision.
In
December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, Income Taxes (ASC 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes. The standard
eliminates the need for an organization to analyze whether the following apply in a given period: (1) the exception to the incremental
approach for intraperiod tax allocation; (2) the exceptions to accounting for basis differences when there are ownership changes
in foreign investments; and (3) the exception in interim periods income tax accounting for year-to-date losses that exceed anticipated
losses. The ASU also is designed to improve financial statement preparers’ application of income tax-related guidance and
simplify GAAP for (1) franchise taxes that are partially based on income, (2) transactions with a government that result in a
step-up in the tax basis of goodwill, (3) separate financial statements of legal entities that are not subject to tax, (4) enacted
changes in tax laws in interim periods and (5) certain income tax accounting for employee stock ownership plans and affordable
housing projects. The standard became effective for the Company on January 1, 2021. The Company does not expect adoption to have
a material impact on its financial statements.
On
December 27, 2020, the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2021 - including the COVID-related Tax Relief Act of 2020 - was enacted.
It included a provision that any expenses paid using forgiven PPP loan proceeds would be fully deductible. This has been reflected
in the Company’s tax provision.
NOTE
11 – EQUITY
Preferred
Shares
The
Company’s articles of incorporation, as amended on September 18, 2020, provide that the Company is authorized to issue 50,000,000
shares of preferred stock consisting of: 1) 250,000 shares of non-voting Series A preferred stock, with a par value of $0.0001
per share; 2) 1,586,620 shares of voting Series B preferred stock, with a par value of $0.0001 per share; 3) 1,320,850 shares
of voting Series C preferred stock, with a par value of $0.0001 per share; and 4) 46,842,530 shares of “blank check”
preferred stock to be designated by the Company’s Board of Directors.
Issuance
of preferred shares
Series
A Preferred Stock
At
the time of the Company’s initial public offering, 250,000 shares of the Company’s non-voting convertible Series A
preferred stock were issued to Vert Capital for the acquisition of Genesis. All of the Series A preferred stock was convertible
into 398,406 shares of Class A common stock. On August 5, 2019, 82,028 of these preferred shares were converted into 130,721 shares
of Class A common stock.
F- 27
Series
B Preferred Stock and Series C Preferred Stock
As
stated in Note 2, on September 25, 2020, in connection with the acquisition of Sahara, the Company issued 1,586,620 shares
of Series B Preferred Stock and 1,320,850 shares of Series C Preferred Stock. The Series B Preferred Stock has a stated and liquidation
value of $10.00 per share and pays a dividend out of the earnings and profits of the Company at the rate of 8% per annum, payable
quarterly. The Series B Preferred Stock is convertible into the Company’s Class A common stock at a conversion price of
$1.66 which was the closing price of BOXL’s Class A common stock on the Nasdaq stock market on September 25, 2020 (the “Conversion
Price”) either (i) at the option of the holder at any time after January 1, 2024 or (ii) automatically upon the Company’s
Class A common stock trading at 200% of the Conversion Price for 20 consecutive trading days (based on a volume weighted average
price). The Series C Preferred Stock has a stated and liquidation value of $10.00 per share and is convertible into the Company’s
Class A common stock at the Conversion Price either (i) at the option of the holder at any time after January 1, 2026 or (ii)
automatically upon the Company’s Class A common stock trading at 200% of the Conversion Price for 20 consecutive trading
days (based on a volume weighted average price).
To
the extent not previously converted into the Company’s Class A common stock, the outstanding shares of Series B Preferred
Stock shall be redeemable at the option of the Holders at any time or from time to time commencing on January 1, 2024, upon thirty
(30) days prior written notice to the Holders, for a redemption price, payable in cash, equal to sum of (a) Ten ($10.00) multiplied
by the number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock being redeemed (the “Redeemed Shares”), plus (b) all accrued and
unpaid dividends, if any, on such Redeemed Shares. The Series C Preferred Stock is also subject to redemption on the same terms
commencing January 1, 2026.
The
Series B Preferred Stock has been recorded at its estimated fair value on the date of issuance of approximately $16.5 million,
which includes the conversion and redemption features as they have not been bifurcated from the host instruments.
The
Series C Preferred Stock has been recorded at its estimated fair value on the date of issuance of approximately $12.4 million,
which includes the redemption features as they have not been bifurcated from the host instrument.
As
disclosed in in Note 2, the aggregate estimated fair value of the Series B and C Preferred Stock of $28.9 million is included
as part of the total $79.7 million consideration paid for the purchase of Sahara.
As
the redemption features in the Series B Preferred Stock and Series C Preferred Stock are not solely with the control of the Company,
the Company has classified the Series B Preferred Stock and Series C Preferred Stock in temporary equity on the Company’s
consolidated balance sheet.
The
immaterial out-of-period correction to the estimated fair value of preferred shares discussed in Note 2 resulted in the elimination
of a $0.4 million beneficial conversion feature initially recorded as a component of additional paid-in capital in the third quarter
unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
Common
Stock
The
Company’s common stock consists of 200,000,000 shares of Class A voting common stock and 50,000,000 shares of Class
B non-voting common stock. Class A and Class B common stock have the same rights except that Class A common stock is entitled
to one vote per share while Class B common stock has no voting rights. Upon any public or private sale or disposition by any holder
of Class B common stock, such shares of Class B common stock shall automatically convert into shares of Class A common stock.
As of December 31, 2020, and December 31, 2019, the Company had 53,343,518 and 11,698,697 shares of Class A common
stock issued and outstanding, respectively. No Class B shares were outstanding at December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019.

NOTE
12 – STOCK COMPENSATION
The
total number of underlying shares of the Company’s Class A common stock available for grant to directors, officers, key

Stock
Options
Under
our stock option program, an employee receives an award that provides the opportunity in the future to purchase the Company’s
shares at the market price of our stock on the date the award is granted (strike price). The options become exercisable over a
range of immediately vested to four-year vesting periods and expire five years from the grant date, unless stated differently
in the option agreements, if they are not exercised. Stock options have no financial statement effect on the date they are granted
but rather are reflected over time through compensation expense. We record compensation expense based on the estimated fair value
of the awards which is amortized as compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. Accordingly, total
expense related to the award is reduced by the fair value of options that are forfeited by employees that leave the Company prior
to vesting.

Restricted
Stock Units
Under
our stock option program, pursuant to the Equity Incentive Plan, the Company grants restricted stock units (“RSUs”)
to certain employees and non-employee directors. Upon granting the RSUs, the Company records a fixed compensation expense equal
to the fair market value of the underlying shares of RSUs granted on a straight-line basis over the requisite services period
for the RSUs. Compensation expense related to the RSUs is reduced by the fair value of units that are forfeited by employees that
leave the Company prior to vesting. The restricted stock units vest over a range of immediately vested to four-year vesting periods
in accordance with the terms of the applicable RSU grant agreement.
No

9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
As
required by Rule 13a-15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”), under the supervision
and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we evaluated
the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over
financial reporting as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report.
Evaluation
of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We
maintain disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act that are designed
to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted to the SEC under the Exchange Act is recorded,
processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the SEC’s rules and forms, and that information
is accumulated and communicated to management, including the principal executive and financial officer as appropriate, to allow
timely decisions regarding required disclosures. Our principal executive officer and principal financial officer evaluated the
effectiveness of disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report (“Evaluation
Date”), pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Exchange Act. Based on that evaluation, our principal executive officer and
principal financial officer concluded that, as of the Evaluation Date, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective
due to material weaknesses described in our report on internal control over financial reporting below.
Notwithstanding
the existence of the material weaknesses, we believe that the consolidated financial statements included in this report fairly
present in accordance with U.S. GAAP, in all material respects, our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows
for the periods presented in this Annual Report.
Limitations
on the Effectiveness of Controls
A
control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives
of the control system are met. Because of the inherent limitations in all controls systems, no evaluation of controls can provide
absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within a company have been detected. Our disclosure
controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving its objectives.

Management’s
Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Our
principal executive officer and our principal accounting and financial officer are responsible for establishing and maintaining
adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f). Management conducted
an assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2018. In making this assessment,
management used the criteria described in Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations
of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Based upon such assessment and due to the existence of the material weaknesses in our internal
control over financial reporting described below, our principal executive officer and our principal accounting and financial officer
have concluded that, as of December 31, 2020, our internal control over financial reporting was not effective.
●
Our
written policies and procedures over accounting transaction processing and period end financial close and reporting are limited
which has resulted in ineffective oversight in the establishment of proper monitoring controls over accounting and financial
reporting.
●
During
the fourth quarter we failed to identify and record deferred revenue based on contractual arrangements with a new customer
for which terms differ from those customary in contracts with other customers. The error was corrected, and the overall magnitude
was not deemed significant once quantified, however, it is reasonably expected that had the magnitude of the error been of
a greater materiality, it still may not have been detected on a timely basis.
It
should be noted that any system of controls, however well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable and not absolute
assurance that the objectives of the system are met. In addition, the design of any control system is based in part upon certain
assumptions about the likelihood of certain events. Because of these and other inherent limitations of control systems, there
can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions, regardless
of how remote.
We
acquired Sahara on September 25, 2020. Since the date of the acquisition, we have been assessing Sahara’s internal control
over financial reporting to determine their effectiveness and to make controls and procedures consistent across all consolidated
entities. We have made changes to procedures and controls and expect to make additional changes in the future. Prior to acquisition,
Sahara was not required to document and assess internal control over financial reporting as required under the rules and regulations
of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. As permitted by guidance issued by the staff of the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission, Sahara has been excluded from the scope of our report on internal control over financial reporting. Sahara was included
in our results of operations subsequent to our acquisition on September 24, 2020 and constituted 45% of our consolidated revenues
for the year ended December 31, 2020 and 78% of consolidated assets as of December 31, 2020.
In
light of the material weaknesses described above, we performed additional analysis and other post-closing procedures to ensure
our financial statements were prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Accordingly, we believe that
the consolidated financial statements included in this report fairly present in accordance with U.S. GAAP, in all material respects,
our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented in this Annual Report.
Changes
in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
During
fourth quarter of 2020, management engaged professional services firms to assist with the preparation of the review of the income
tax provision. Management also automated stock-based expense reporting reducing opportunities for errors. There were no additional
changes made in the internal controls over financial reporting for the year ended December 31, 2020, that have materially affected,
our internal control over financial reporting.
