Item 8. Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Shareholders, Board of Directors, and Audit Committee 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, 2023 and 2022, the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2023, and the related notes and financial statement schedule II (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, 2023 and 2022, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2023, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As described in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company has identified certain conditions relating to its outstanding debt and Series B Preferred Stock that are outside the control of the Company. In addition, the Company has generated recent losses. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1 to the accompanying financial statements. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
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 audit 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 include 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.
Critical Audit Matter
The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current-period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of a critical audit matter does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.
Critical Audit Matter – Goodwill Impairment Assessment
As described in Note 1, in analyzing goodwill for potential impairment in the quantitative impairment test, the Company uses a combination of the income and market approaches to estimate the fair value. Under the income approach, the Company calculates the fair value based on discounted estimated future cash flows. Under the market approach, the Company estimates the fair value based on the market multiples of revenue or earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation, and amortization for benchmark companies.
We identified the quantitative impairment test of goodwill as a critical audit matter. The principal considerations for that determination included the judgment involved in assessing management’s impairment test of goodwill due to the measurement uncertainty involved in determining the fair value of equity for the reporting units. In particular, the fair value estimates are sensitive to changes in assumptions such as discount rates, expected future cash flows, long-term growth rates, and comparable company earnings multiples.
The primary procedures we performed to address this critical audit matter included:
We obtained an understanding of management’s process for assessing goodwill impairment and performing the qualitative goodwill impairment test, including management’s process for developing assumptions used in the income and market approaches to estimate the fair value of reporting units.
We evaluated management’s revenue growth rates, margins, and cash flows to current industry and economic trends, while also considering the current and future business, customer base, and product mix.
We assessed management’s process for estimating revenue growth and margins by comparing past projections to actual performance.
With the assistance of our valuation professionals with specialized skills and knowledge, we evaluated the models, valuation methodology, and significant assumptions used in the income and market approaches to estimate the fair values.
We tested management’s reconciliation of the fair value of equity of the reporting units to the market capitalization of the Company.
