Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

 

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission for interim financial information which includes condensed financial statements. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes necessary for a comprehensive presentation of financial position and results of operations and should be read in conjunction with the Annual Report, Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011.

 

It is management's opinion that all material adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) have been made which are necessary for a fair financial statement presentation. The results for the interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year.

 

CUI Global, Inc. is a platform company dedicated to maximizing shareholder value through the acquisition, development and commercialization of new, innovative technologies. Through its subsidiaries, CUI Global has built a diversified portfolio of industry leading technologies that touch many markets.

 

Effective May 16, 2008, CUI Global, Inc. formed a wholly owned subsidiary, Waytronx Holdings, Inc., to acquire the assets of CUI, Inc., a Tualatin, Oregon based provider of electronic components including power supplies, transformers, converters, connectors and industrial controls for Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs). The wholly owned subsidiary was renamed CUI, Inc. following the close of the acquisition. Through the acquisition of CUI, Inc., the Company obtained 352,589 common shares (representing an 11.54% interest) in Test Products International, Inc., a provider of handheld test and measurement equipment. Since its inception in 1989, CUI has been delivering quality products, extensive application solutions and superior personal service. CUI's solid customer commitment and honest corporate message are a hallmark in the industry.

 

Through CUI’s capabilities and extensive contacts throughout Asia, this acquisition allows CUI Global to continue to identify, acquire and commercialize new proprietary technologies. CUI Global will use CUI’s market partners and global distribution capabilities to bring other products to market, including the Novum Digital Power Modules, Solus Power Topology, Vergence GASPT2 and other proprietary devices, described below. CUI’s testing and R&D capabilities allow CUI Global to commercialize and prototype its products more efficiently and economically.

 

CUI defines its product into three categories: components including connectors, speakers, buzzers and control solutions including encoders and sensors; power solutions known as V-Infinity; and test and measurement including the Vergence GasPT2. These offerings provide a technology architecture that addresses power and related accessories as well as test and measurement capabilities to industries ranging from consumer electronics to defense and alternative energy.

 

In July 2009, CUI Global acquired, as a wholly owned subsidiary, Comex Instruments, Ltd., now known as CUI Japan and 49% of Comex Electronics Ltd. Both companies are Japanese based providers of electronic components.  Effective July 1, 2011, CUI Global entered into an agreement to convey its 49% ownership interest in Comex Electronics to the owners of the remaining 51% who are the original founders and were the original owners of Comex Instruments, for $617,975 in the form of a five year note receivable bearing interest at 4% per annum. As of June 30, 2012 the Comex Electronics note receivable is current in accordance with the agreed terms. The operations of CUI Japan are not affected by this divestment. As such, the operations of Comex Electronics are reported as discontinued operations for the comparable periods. CUI Global will continue to maintain its 100% ownership of CUI Japan.

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates in 2012 and 2011 include estimates used to review the Company’s long-lived assets for impairment, allowance for doubtful accounts, inventory valuation, valuations of non-cash capital stock issuances, valuations of derivatives and the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets.

 

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of CUI Global, Inc., its wholly owned subsidiary CUI, Inc. and CUI Japan and its 49% owned subsidiary Comex Electronics (through July 1 , 2011 date of disposal) hereafter referred to as the “Company”. Significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying amounts of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, prepaid expense and other assets, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, notes payable and deferred compensation approximate their fair value as of June 30, 2012.

 

Cash

Cash includes deposits at financial institutions with maturities of three months or less. The Company at times has cash in banks in excess of FDIC insurance limits and places its temporary cash investments with high credit quality financial institutions. At June 30, 2012, the Company had $511,757 of cash balances in overnight cash investment accounts at financial institutions which were in excess of the FDIC insured limits. The Company maintained cash balances of $132,428 in foreign financial institutions.

 

Accounts Receivable

The Company grants credit to its customers, with standard terms of Net 30 days. Other credit terms are available based upon a review of the customer’s financial strength. The Company routinely assesses the financial strength of its customers and, therefore, believes that its accounts receivable credit risk exposure is limited. In addition, the Company maintains a foreign credit receivables insurance policy that covers many of its receivable balances in effort to further reduce credit risk exposure.

 

Inventory

Inventory consists of finished and un-finished products. At June 30, 2012, the Company had finished goods of $4,227,709, raw materials of $409,321, work in process of $61,094 and an allowance of $255,000.

 

Furniture, Equipment and Software

Furniture, equipment and software are recorded at cost and include major expenditures, which increase productivity or substantially increase useful lives.

 

9
 

 

Maintenance, repairs and minor replacements are charged to expenses when incurred. When furniture and equipment is sold or otherwise disposed of, the asset and related accumulated depreciation are removed from this account, and any gain or loss is included in the statement of operations.

 

The cost of furniture, equipment and software is depreciated over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method for financial reporting purposes. The estimated useful lives and accumulated depreciation for furniture, equipment and software are as follows:

 

   Estimated
Useful Life
 
Furniture and equipment   3 to 7 years 
Software   3 to5 years 

 

Identifiable Intangible Assets

Intangible assets are stated at cost net of accumulated amortization and impairment. Intangible assets other than goodwill, technology rights and patents are amortized over an estimated useful life of 15 years. Technology rights are amortized over the shorter of a twenty year life or the term of the rights agreement and are reviewed for impairment annually. Patent costs are amortized over the life of the patent. Any patents not approved will be expensed at that time. During the six months ended June 30, 2012 the Company recorded impairment charges of $278,428 related to intangible, trademark and trade name V-Infinity.

 

10
 

 

Intangible assets consist of the following as of June 30, 2012:

Asset Impairment

The Company reviews its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its fair value and may not be recoverable. In performing the review for recoverability, the future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition are estimated. If the sum of the expected future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) is less than the carrying amount of the asset, an impairment loss is recognized as the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value. Otherwise, an impairment loss is not recognized. Management estimates the fair value and the estimated future cash flows expected. Any changes in these estimates could impact whether there was impairment and the amount of the impairment.  During the six months ended June 30, 2012 the company recorded impairment charges of $278,428 related to intangible, trademark and trade name V-Infinity.

 

Patent Costs

The Company estimates the patents it has filed have a future beneficial value; therefore it capitalizes the costs associated with filing for its patents. At the time the patent is approved, the patent costs associated with the patent are amortized over the useful life of the patent. If the patent is not approved, at that time the costs will be expensed. A change in the estimate of the patent having a future beneficial value will impact the other assets and expense accounts.

 

Derivative Liabilities

The Company accounts for its embedded conversion features and freestanding warrants pursuant to FASB Accounting Standards Codification No. 815 (“FASB ASC 815”), “Derivatives and Hedging ”, which requires a periodic valuation of the fair value of derivative instruments and a corresponding recognition of liabilities associated with such derivatives. The recognition of derivative liabilities related to the issuance of shares of common stock is applied first to the proceeds of such issuance, at the date of issuance, and the excess of derivative liabilities over the proceeds is recognized as other expense in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. The recognition of derivative liabilities related to the issuance of convertible debt is applied first to the proceeds of such issuance as a debt discount, at the date of issuance, and the excess of derivative liabilities over the proceeds is recognized as other expense in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Any subsequent increase or decrease in the fair value of the derivative liabilities is recognized as other expense or other income, respectively. The reclassification of a contract is reassessed at each balance sheet date. If a contract is reclassified from permanent equity to an asset or a liability, the change in the fair value of the contract during the period the contract was classified as equity is accounted for as an adjustment to equity. If a contract is reclassified from an asset or liability to equity, gains or losses recorded to account for the contract at fair value during the period that contract was classified as an asset or a liability are not reversed but instead are accounted for as an adjustment to equity.

Revenue Recognition

Revenues in connection with electronic devices and component sales by CUI, Inc. are recognized at the time the product is shipped to the customer.

 

Revenues in connection with product sales by CUI Japan and the discontinued operations of Comex Electronics are recognized at the time the product is shipped to the customer. Vendor-specific objective evidence (VSOE) sales exist for CUI Japan and Comex Electronics related to the development of product for specific customers. The ability to identify VSOE for those elements and the fair value of the respective elements could materially impact the amount of earned and unearned revenue. VSOE sales are invoiced according to the related sales agreements.

 

Shipping and Handling Costs

Amounts billed to customers in sales transactions related to shipping and handling represent revenues earned for the goods provided and are included in sales. Costs of shipping and handling are included in cost of revenues.

 

Stock issued for services to other than Employees

Common stock, stock options and common stock warrants issued to other than employees or directors are recorded on the basis of their fair value, as required by FASB ASC 505, which is measured as of the date required by FASB ASC 505, “Equity – Based Payments to Non-Employees”. In accordance with FASB ASC 505, the stock options or common stock warrants are valued using the Black-Scholes option pricing model on the basis of the market price of the underlying common stock on the “valuation date,” which for options and warrants related to contracts that have substantial disincentives to non-performance is the date of the contract, and for all other contracts is the vesting date. Expense related to the options and warrants is recognized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the period over which services are to be received or the vesting period. Where expense must be recognized prior to a valuation date, the expense is computed under the Black-Scholes option pricing model on the basis of the market price of the underlying common stock at the end of the period, and any subsequent changes in the market price of the underlying common stock up through the valuation date is reflected in the expense recorded in the subsequent period in which that change occurs.

 

Foreign Currency Translation

The financial statements of the Company's foreign offices have been translated into U.S. dollars in accordance with FASB ASC 830, “Foreign Currency Matters” (FASB ASC 830). All balance sheet accounts have been translated using the exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date. Income statement amounts have been translated using an appropriately weighted average exchange rate for the year. The translation gains and losses resulting from the changes in exchange rates during 2012 and 2011 have been reported in accumulated other comprehensive income, except for gains and losses resulting from the translation of intercompany receivables and payables, which are included in earnings for the period.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2011, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2011-11, Balance Sheet - Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities” to enhance disclosure requirements relating to the offsetting of assets and liabilities on an entity's balance sheet. The update requires enhanced disclosures regarding assets and liabilities that are presented net or gross in the statement of financial position when the right of offset exists, or that are subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement. The new disclosure requirements relating to this update are retrospective and effective for annual and interim periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013. The update only requires additional disclosures, as such, we do not expect that the adoption of this standard will have a material impact on our results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.

3. INCOME (LOSS) PER COMMON SHARE

 

Common stock equivalents in the three months and six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 were anti-dilutive, thus the diluted weighted average common shares outstanding for this period are the same as the basic weighted average common shares outstanding.

 

At June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, 224,537 and 393,570 potential common stock shares are issuable upon the exercise of vested warrants and options and conversion of debt to common stock. For the three months and six months ended June 30, 2012, 342,807 shares and 342,807 shares, respectively, related to warrants and options were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share as they were anti-dilutive due to their exercise price being in excess of the average close price for the three and six month period ended or they were not yet vested.

 

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share:

4. INCOME TAXES

 

An income tax benefit has not been recognized for operating losses generated in prior periods based on uncertainties concerning the ability to generate taxable income in future periods. The tax benefit as of the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 is offset by a valuation allowance established against deferred tax assets arising from operating losses and other temporary differences, the realization of which could not be considered more likely than not. In future periods, tax benefits and related deferred tax assets will be recognized when management considers realization of such amounts to be more likely than not.

 

5.  WORKING CAPITAL LINE OF CREDIT

 

At June 30, 2012, the Company maintained a $4,000,000 revolving working capital line of credit with the Business Credit division of Wells Fargo Capital Finance, part of Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (NYSE: WFC), interest payable monthly at the Daily Three Month LIBOR plus 3.25% (3.7106% at June 30, 2012). Effective April 3, 2012, the Wells Fargo LOC expiration was extended to July 31, 2015 and the interest rate reduced to the Daily Three Month LIBOR plus 3.25%. As of the date of this filing, the Company is compliant with all covenants on the line of credit with Wells Fargo Capital Finance. At June 30, 2012, there was no balance outstanding on the line of credit.

 

6.  OPTIONS AND WARRANTS

 

On May 15, 2008, the Board of Directors approved the Waytronx, Inc. 2008 Equity Incentive Plan (“2008 Plan”) for 1,500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. The 2008 Plan provides for the issuance of stock options to attract, retain and motivate employees, to encourage employees, directors and independent contractors to acquire an equity interest in the Company, to make monetary payments to certain employees based upon the value of the Company’s stock, and provide employees, directors and independent contractors with an incentive to maximize the success of the Company and further the interest of the shareholders. The 2008 Plan provides for the issuance of Incentive Stock Options and Non Statutory Options. The Administrator of the plan shall determine the exercise price per share at the time the option is granted, but the exercise price shall not be less than the fair market value on the date the option is granted. Stock options granted under the 2008 Plan have a maximum duration of 10 years.

 

At the 2009 Annual Meeting of Shareholders held on September 29, 2009, the shareholders approved an amendment to the 2008 Equity Incentive Plan to increase the number of common shares issuable under the plan from 1,500,000 to 3,000,000. All of these shares have been registered under Form S-8.

 

The 2008 Equity Incentive Plans provide for the issuance of incentive stock options (ISOs) and Non Statutory Options (NSOs) to employees, directors and independent contractors of the Company. The Board shall determine the exercise price per share in the case of an ISO at the time an option is granted and such price shall be not less than the fair market value or 110% of fair market value in the case of a ten percent or greater stockholder. In the case of an NSO, the exercise price shall not be less than the fair market value of one share of stock on the date the option is granted. Unless otherwise determined by the Board, ISOs and NSOs granted under both plans have a maximum duration of 10 years.

On January 5, 2009 the Company Board of Directors received and approved a written report and recommendations of the Compensation Committee which included a detailed executive equity compensation report and market analysis and the recommendations of Compensia, Inc., a management consulting firm that provides executive compensation advisory services to compensation committees and senior management of knowledge-based companies. The Compensation Committee used the report and analysis as a basis for its formal written recommendation to the Board. Pursuant to a January 8, 2009 board resolution the 2009 Equity Incentive Plan (Executive), a Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan, was created and funded with 4,200,000 shares of $0.001 par value common stock. The Compensation Committee was appointed as the Plan Administrator to manage the plan. On October 11, 2010, CUI Global authorized an additional 3,060,382 options under the 2009 Equity Incentive Plan (Executive).

 

The 2009 Equity Incentive Plan (Executive) provides for the issuance of Incentive Non Statutory Options to attract, retain and motivate executive and management employees and directors and to encourage these individuals to acquire an equity interest in the Company, to make monetary payments to certain management employees and directors based upon the value of the Company’s stock and to provide these individuals with an incentive to maximize the success of the Company and further the interest of the shareholders. The Administrator of the plan is authorized to determine the exercise price per share at the time the option is granted, but the exercise price shall not be less than the fair market value on the date the option is granted. Stock options granted under the 2009 Plan have a maximum duration of 10 years.

 

At December 31, 2011, there were 57,509 non-vested stock options. The fair value of each stock option is estimated on the date of grant using a Black Scholes Pricing Model. During April 2012, 84,675 options to purchase restricted common stock were issued to officers and directors under the 2009 Equity Incentive Plan (Executive) with the following assumptions: exercise price of $4.56 per share, volatility of 90%, risk free interest rate of 0.27% and a term of 2 years. The 19,800 director related options vest one year from the date of grant while the 64,875 officer options have a four year vesting period with 25% vesting one year from date of grant and monthly thereafter.

During the six months ended June 30, 2012, CUI Global had a loss from operations of $1,503,971. During the six months ended June 30, 2012, CUI Global had a consolidated net loss of $1,786,647, with a net loss attributable to CUI Global of $1,786,647. The net loss is primarily the result of the decrease in revenues and related gross profits during the six month period, an increase in selling, general and administrative expenses incurred in relation to the equity raises completed during the first six months of the year and increased sales efforts and related costs for the Vergence GasPT2 product which required significant travel and some continuing development and costs associated with safety certification of the device prior to sale and installation, as well as stock compensation expenses for issuances to officers and employees as bonuses for achieving corporate goals, stock issued to consultants related to investor relations activities and an impairment loss recognized related to the intangible, trademark and trade name V-Infinity during the quarter ended June 30, 2012.

 

CUI, Inc. - Subsidiary

CUI, Inc., is a Tualatin, Oregon based provider of electronic components including power supplies, transformers, converters, connectors and industrial controls for Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs). Through CUI, Inc., the Company holds 352,589 common shares (representing a 11.54% interest) in Test Products International, Inc., a provider of handheld test and measurement equipment. Since its inception in 1989, CUI has been delivering quality products, extensive application solutions and superior personal service. CUI's solid customer commitment and honest corporate message are a hallmark in the industry.

 

Through CUI’s capabilities and extensive contacts throughout Asia, CUI Global is able to continue to identify, acquire and commercialize new proprietary technologies. CUI Global will use CUI’s market partners and global distribution capabilities to bring other products to market, including the Novum Digital Power Modules, Solus Power Topology, Vergence GASPT2 and other proprietary devices, described below. CUI’s testing and R&D capabilities allow CUI Global to commercialize and prototype its products more efficiently and economically.

 

23
 

 

CUI defines its product into three categories: components including connectors, speakers, buzzers and control solutions including encoders and sensors; power solutions known as V-Infinity; and test and measurement including the Vergence GasPT2. These offerings provide a technology architecture that addresses power and related accessories as well as test and measurement capabilities to industries ranging from consumer electronics to defense and alternative energy.

 

V-Infinity Power

Our current power line, V-Infinity, consists of external and embedded ac-dc power supplies, dc-dc converters and basic digital point of load modules. This dynamic, broadly applicable product line accounts for a significant portion of our current revenue and recent revenue growth.

 

Novum™ Advanced Power

CUI entered into a non-exclusive Field of Use Agreement with Power-One, Inc. (Nasdaq: PWER) to license Power-One’s Digital Power Technology patents.  The license provides access to Power-One’s portfolio of Digital Power Technology patents for incorporation into CUI’s new line of digital point of load power modules.  CUI, through its power division, manufactures a range of embedded and external power electronics devices for OEM manufacturers.

 

We have developed the first fully featured digital point of load dc-dc converter in the power market under our Novum Advanced Power line of products.  This product is a next generation product targeted at the intermediate bus power architecture that is prolifically used in the telecom and networking communications market.  In September of 2010 we released full production versions of two point of load modules.  We were finalists for the prestigious Golden Mousetrap Award and EDN Innovation Award for these parts in 2010.  With the shift towards smarter, smaller, and more energy efficient power requirements, engineers are seeking innovative solutions that allow them to keep pace with lower core voltages, faster transient response needs, and increasing thermal issues that they face in their designs.  Our recently introduced Novum NDM2 modules, with a full suite of digital features, specifically address these growing system complexities through intelligent power management.  The NDM2 series is the first to be designed by the company as part of the Ericsson cooperation announced in July.  The agreement formalizes a plan between the two companies to offer a multi-source digital POL platform based on the Ericsson BMR46X series, with future plans to co-develop modules outside the existing range of 10~50A.  We have also developed a middle ground product to ease the customer base into the benefits of digital in power.  We developed a “smart module” that allows for the benefits of digital in the design cycle but when installed functions like a highly optimized analog unit.

 

Solus™ Power Topology

CUI entered into an exclusive Field of Use Agreement with California Power Research to license their BPS-5 topology, now marketed as the Solus Topology.  Through the Solus Topology, we have a proprietary patented power topology for designing unique power circuits.  This topology allows for higher efficiencies, densities, response time, and price competitiveness that is otherwise unavailable.  Our initial product designed using this topology is in the quarter brick dc-dc converter market.  Solus is an entirely new topology, rich in features that accelerate the performance trend trajectories for the big-four power conversion needs in the telecom and server markets:  greater efficiency; higher power density; reduced EMI (electro-magnetic interference); and faster transient response four times as fast.  We have introduced the NQB2060 Novum® one quarter brick bus converter as a prime example of the benchmark 720 watts output power performance using the Solus Topology.  Since the Solus Topology maintains its effectiveness independent of the control method used, it can operate with analog voltage mode control, analog current mode control, and various digital control profiles.  That unique feature opens the door for the company to implement this topology in a wide variety of power supply product platforms.  We believe that this topology will allow for at least a decade of new product designs and introductions.

 

24
 

 

As the large scale networking and telecommunications companies convert to digital power, our early entry into the market, our unique Solus Topology, and our relationship with Ericsson should enhance our ability to penetrate this (according to the Darnell Group) multi-billion dollar market.

 

AMT ™ Encoder

Through a licensing agreement, the company has an exclusive agreement to develop, sell, and distribute the AMT encoder worldwide.  The AMT series modular encoder is designed with proprietary, capacitive, code-generating technology as opposed to optical or magnetic encoding.  This unique device allows breakthroughs in selectable resolution, shaft-adaptation, and convenient mounting solutions to bring ease of installation, reduction in SKU’s, and economies of scale in purchasing.  The AMT amounts to almost 2000 different encoders in one package.  The company is selling and distributing the AMT through various customers.  Moreover, the product is being marketed by multiple DC motor manufacturers.  The AMT has been awarded several design wins from Motion Control OEM’s producing a wide range of products from cash machines to robotics.

 

Vergence ™ GasPT2

Through an exclusive licensing contract with GL Industrial Services UK, Ltd. (GL), formerly British-based Advantica, Ltd., CUI Global owns exclusive rights to manufacture, sell, and distribute a Gas Quality Inferential Measurement Device (GASPT2) designed by GL on a worldwide basis, now marketed as the Vergence TM GasPT2.

 

The Vergence natural gas inferential metering device, the GasPT2, is a low cost solution to measuring natural gas quality.  It can be connected to a natural gas system to provide a fast, accurate, close to real time measurement of the physical properties, such as thermal conductivity, speed of sound and carbon dioxide content.  From these measurements it infers an effective gas mixture comprising four components: methane, propane, nitrogen, and measured carbon dioxide and then uses ISO6976 to calculate the gas quality characteristics of calorific value (CV), Wobbe index (WI), relative density (RD), and compression factor (Z)."  An ISO, International Organization for Standardization, is a documented agreement containing technical specifications or other precise criteria to be used consistently as rules, guidelines, or definitions of characteristics to ensure that materials, products, processes and services are fit for their purpose.

 

This new and innovative technology has been certified for use in fiscal monitoring by Ofgem in the United Kingdom and SNAM RETE in Italy.  At present, there is no equivalent product competition.  There are instruments like gas chromatographs (“GC”), but they are slow, complicated to use, and as much as double the price of the GasPT2.

 

By way of example, in the case of SNAM RETE, the Italian gas transmission company, there are 13 natural gas injection points for the SNAM RETE system.  Those injection points will continue to use GC’s for monitoring.  On the other hand, there are 7,500 customer access points in the system.  Those would include city gates, large industrial users, power generation plants and others.  All of those customer access ports would be applicable for the Vergence Technology.  In the case of ENAGAS in Spain that ratio is 6 injection points and over 300 access points.

 

25
 

 

In addition to these numbers, there are currently 8,000 gas turbines in operation worldwide.  Each of those turbines are subject to variances in natural gas quality.  Depending on the quality of the gas, those very expensive machines can be tuned to run more efficiently and therefore longer with much cleaner emissions.  Currently, because of the delay in information from the GC’s, such tuning cannot be effectively accomplished.  Operators attempt to deal with the delay by placing the monitoring station miles away from the turbine or creating large holding tanks to maintain the gas until an analysis can be completed.  The use of the Vergence Technology, will enable those operators to place the GasPT2 units right next to the turbines and by interfacing them with the machine’s process control software, the tuning can be accomplished on almost a real-time basis; thus, allowing the turbines to run longer, more efficiently, and cleaner.

 

ISO 9001:2008 Certification

CUI, Inc. is certified to the ISO 9001:2008 Quality Management Systems standards and guidelines.  CUI is registered as conforming to the requirements of standard: ISO 9001:2008, The Quality Management System is applicable to Design, Development and Distribution of electro-mechanical components for OEM manufacturing.  ISO 9001 is accepted worldwide as the inclusive international standard that defines quality.

 

The certification of compliance with ISO 9001:2008 recognizes that our policies, practices and procedures ensure consistent quality in the design services, technology and products we provide our customers.

 

CUI Japan and the discontinued operations of Comex Electronics –Subsidiaries

In July 2009, CUI Global acquired, as a wholly owned subsidiary, Comex Instruments, Ltd., now known as CUI Japan and 49% of Comex Electronics Ltd. Both companies are Japanese based providers of electronic components.  Effective July 1, 2011, CUI Global entered into an agreement to convey its 49% ownership interest in Comex Electronics to the owners of the remaining 51% who are the original founders and were the original owners of Comex Instruments, for $617,975 in the form of a five year note receivable bearing interest at 4% per annum. As of June 30, 2012 the Comex Electronics note receivable is current in accordance with the agreed terms. The operations of CUI Japan are not affected by this divestment. As such, the operations of Comex Electronics are reported as discontinued operations for the current and comparable periods. CUI Global will continue to maintain its 100% ownership of CUI Japan. 

 

Intellectual Property

 

The Company relies on various intellectual property laws and contractual restrictions to protect its proprietary rights in products, logos and services. These include confidentiality, invention assignment and nondisclosure agreements with employees, contractors, suppliers and strategic partners. The confidentiality and nondisclosure agreements with employees, contractors and suppliers are in perpetuity or for a sufficient length of time so as to not threaten exposure of proprietary information.

 

CUI Global continues to file and protect its intellectual property rights, trademarks and products through filings with the US Patent and Trademark Office and, as applicable, internationally.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

General

Cash and cash equivalents from continuing operations at June 30, 2012 are $3,190,773. Operations and investments in patents and equipment have been funded through cash from operations, proceeds from equity financings and borrowings from financial institutions during the three month period.

 

Cash provided by (used in) operations

Operating requirements generated negative cash flow from continuing operations of $751,078 for the six months ended June 30, 2012, versus positive cash flow from continuing operations of $503,168 for the same period last year.  The change in cash provided by (used in) operations is primarily the result of the increased net loss incurred during the first six months of 2012, an increase in trade accounts receivable, an increase in inventory, a decrease in prepaid expenses and other current assets, decreased deposits, increase in accounts payable, decreased accrued expenses and an increase in unearned revenue.

 

During the first six months of 2012 and 2011 common stock and stock options have been used as a form of payment to certain consultants, note holders, employees and directors.  For the first six months of 2012 and 2011, a total of $616,547 and $136,354, respectively, was recorded for compensation and services expense including amortization of deferred compensation related to equity given, or to be given, to employees, directors and consultants for services provided.

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2012 the Company had no cash flow from discontinued operations as compared to a positive cash flow in the prior year comparative period of $334,776. 

 

As the Company focuses on technology development and product line additions during 2012, it will continue to fund research and development together with related sales and marketing efforts for its various product offerings with cash flows from continuing operations and cash on hand.

 

Capital Expenditures and Investments

CUI Global invested $0 in patent costs during the first six months of 2012 as compared to $6,646 for the same period last year. It is expected that investment in patent costs will continue throughout 2012 as patents are pursued in order to protect the rights to use its product developments.

 

The Company invested $39,940 in other intangible assets during the first six months of 2012 as compared to $17,543 for the same period last year.

 

During the first six months of 2012 and 2011, there was $359,562 and $175,127 invested in property and equipment, respectively.

 

27
 

 

Financing activities

During the first six months of 2012, the Company received proceeds of $12,723,515 from the sales of common stock and exercise of warrants, $1,528,900 of payments were made against the demand notes payable, $4,000,000 of payments were made against notes and loans payable, $3,000,000 of payments were made against related party notes and loans payable, and $35,000 of payments were made against convertible notes payable, related party. During the first six months of 2011, the Company received proceeds of $112,566 on demand notes payable, $6,640 of payments were made against notes and loans payable net of proceeds, $357,862 of payments were made against notes and loans payable, related party and $50,000 of proceeds were received in relation to the exercise of warrants. CUI Global may raise the capital needed to fund the further development and marketing of its products as well as payment of its debt obligations.

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2012, there was no cash flow related to discontinued financing activities. During the six months ended June 30, 2011, net cash used in discontinued financing activities for discontinued operations included $648,218 of payments made against notes and loans payable.

 

Recap of liquidity and capital resources

During the first six months of 2012, the Company continued to improve its financial strength which included raising $12,723,515 from the sales of common stock and exercise of warrants, net of offering costs, as well as significant reductions of debt principal. As of June 30, 2012 the Company had an accumulated deficit of $75,432,150.

 

The Company may seek to raise additional capital for the commercialization and further development of its product and technology offerings as well as to further reduce debt. The Company believes its operations and existing financing structure will provide sufficient cash to meet its short-term working capital requirements for the next twelve months. As the Company continues to expand and develop its technology and product lines as well as retire debt, additional funding sources may be required. The Company will attempt to raise these funds through borrowing instruments or issuing additional equity.

 

At June 30, 2012, the Company maintained a $4,000,000 revolving working capital line of credit with the Business Credit division of Wells Fargo Capital Finance, part of Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (NYSE: WFC), interest payable monthly at the Daily Three Month LIBOR plus 3.25% (3.7106% at June 30, 2012). Effective April 3, 2012, the Wells Fargo LOC expiration was extended to July 31, 2015 and the interest rate reduced to the Daily Three Month LIBOR plus 3.25%. As of the date of this filing, the Company is compliant with all covenants on the line of credit with Wells Fargo Capital Finance. At June 30, 2012, there was no balance outstanding on the line of credit.

 

The Company expects the revenues from CUI, Inc. and CUI Japan to help cover operating and other expenses for the next twelve months of operations. If revenues and the funds raised in 2012 through the sales of equity are not sufficient to cover all operating and other expenses, additional funding may be required. There is no assurance the Company will be able to raise such additional capital. The failure to raise capital or generate product sales in the expected time frame will have a material adverse effect on the Company.

 

Results of Operations

 

Revenue

During the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, revenue was $18,481,521 and $19,419,413, respectively. The revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2012 is comprised of $17,847,237 from CUI products, $612,702 from CUI Japan products, and $21,582 for freight. The revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2011 is comprised of $19,301,291 from CUI products, $81,020 from CUI Japan products, and $37,102 for freight.

 

28
 

 

During the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, revenue was $10,011,758 and $9,878,862, respectively. The revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2012 is comprised of $9,645,189 from CUI products, $350,944 from CUI Japan products and $15,625 from freight. The revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2011 is comprised of $9,813,166 from CUI products, $47,552 from CUI Japan products and $18,144 from freight.

 

The decrease in revenues during the six months ended June 30, 2012 is primarily the result of the slow first quarter of 2012 associated with a decrease in electronic components orders received during the fourth quarter of 2011 which occurred in conjunction with an overall slow down within the electronic components industry during that period.

 

The increase in revenues during the three months ended June 30, 2012 is attributable to the slight uptick in orders experienced during the first six months of 2012 associated with continued product introductions, continued sales and marketing programs and the strengthening within the electronic components industry.

 

Although sales revenues during the first six months were less than the previous year, the Company experienced a slight uptick in orders received during the six months and held a backlog of customer orders of approximately $12.2 million as of June 30, 2012 as compared to a backlog of customer orders of approximately $11.0 million as of June 30, 2011.

 

Cost of revenues

For the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, the cost of revenue was $11,395,134 and $11,858,968, respectively. For the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, the cost of revenue was $6,209,955 and $5,993,305, respectively.

 

The cost of revenues as a percentage of revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2012 increased to 61.66% from 61.07% during the prior year comparative period. For the three months ended June 30, 2012, the cost of revenue as a percentage of revenue increased to 62.03% from 60.67% in the prior year period. This percentage will vary based upon the product mix sold during the period and is also dependent upon the competitive markets in which the Company competes as well as foreign exchange rates.

 

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, General and Administrative (SG&A) expenses include such items as wages, commissions, consulting, general office expenses, business promotion expenses and costs of being a public company, including legal and accounting fees, insurance and investor relations.

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2012 compared to the same period in 2011, SG&A expenses increased $1,115,304. The increase is primarily associated with expenses such as travel, meeting costs, and other miscellaneous costs incurred in relation to the equity raises completed during the first six months of the year and increased sales efforts and related costs for the Vergence GasPT2 product which required significant travel and some continuing development and costs associated with safety certification of the device prior to sale and installation, as well as stock compensation expenses for issuances to officers and employees as bonuses for achieving corporate goals and stock issued to consultants related to investor relations activities during the six months ended June 30, 2012. As a percentage of total revenue, SG&A expenses increased 7.82% as compared to the first six months of 2011. Management expects the SG&A expenses as a percentage of revenues to improve during the remainder of 2012 as there were significant expenses in early 2012 associated with the aforementioned items along with lower revenues during the first six months of 2012 as compared to the prior year.

The expense is associated with continued research and development of new and existing technologies including the Novum digital power modules, Solus advanced power topology, Vergence GasPT2, and other products.

Convertible debt and amortization of debt discount and debt offering costs

The Company recorded an expense of $36,667 for the six months ended June 30, 2012, and $297,247 for the same period in 2011, for the amortization of debt discount and debt offering costs. The decrease in expense in 2012 is related to the reduction in the debt discount related to the 2009 and 2010 reductions of debt and related debt discounts associated with the convertible note and note payable used to fund the acquisition of CUI, Inc.

 

Interest Expense

The interest expense of $301,529 and $456,854 for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 respectively is for interest on the bank operating line of credit, bank loans, and secured and unsecured promissory notes. The decrease is primarily due to the reduction of debt in 2011 and during the first six months of 2012 through principal payments.

 

Profit (loss) from discontinued operations

During the six months ended June 30, 2012 there was no activity associated with the discontinued operations of Comex Electronics which were divested effective July 2011. During the six months ended June 30, 2011, there was a profit from discontinued operations of $130,246 which included a gain on the divestment of Comex Electronics during the period of $290,399.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our financial statements and related public financial information are based on the application of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”).  GAAP requires the use of estimates; assumptions, judgments and subjective interpretations of accounting principles that have an impact on the assets, liabilities, revenue and expense amounts reported.  These estimates can also affect supplemental information contained in our external disclosures including information regarding contingencies, risk and financial condition.  We believe our use if estimates and underlying accounting assumptions adhere to GAAP and are consistently and conservatively applied.  We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances.  Actual results may differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.  We continue to monitor significant estimates made during the preparation of our financial statements.

 

Our significant accounting policies are summarized in Note 2 of our financial statements.  While all these significant accounting policies impact its financial condition and results of operations, we view certain of these policies as critical.  Policies determined to be critical are those policies that have the most significant impact on our financial statements and require management to use a greater degree of judgment and estimates. Significant estimates in 2012 and 2011 include estimates used to review the Company’s long-lived assets for impairment, allowance for doubtful accounts, inventory valuation, valuations of non-cash capital stock issuances, valuations of derivatives and the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets.  Actual results may differ from those estimates.  Our management believes that given current facts and circumstances, it is unlikely that applying any other reasonable judgments or estimate methodologies would cause effect on our results of operations, financial position or liquidity for the periods presented in this report.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2011, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2011-11, Balance Sheet - Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities” to enhance disclosure requirements relating to the offsetting of assets and liabilities on an entity's balance sheet. The update requires enhanced disclosures regarding assets and liabilities that are presented net or gross in the statement of financial position when the right of offset exists, or that are subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement. The new disclosure requirements relating to this update are retrospective and effective for annual and interim periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013. The update only requires additional disclosures, as such, we do not expect that the adoption of this standard will have a material impact on our results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.
