Forward-Looking Statements
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements that involve a number of risks and uncertainties. Words such as "anticipates," "expects," "intends," "goals," "plans," "believes," "seeks," "estimates," "continues," "may," "will," “would,” "should," “could,” and variations of such words and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. In addition, any statements that refer to projections of our future financial performance, our anticipated growth and trends in our businesses, uncertain events or assumptions, and other characterizations of future events or circumstances are forward-looking statements. Such statements are based on management's expectations as of the date of this filing and involve many risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in our forward-looking statements. Such risks and uncertainties include those described throughout this report and our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016, particularly the "Risk Factors" sections of such reports. Given these risks and uncertainties, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements. Readers are urged to carefully review and consider the various disclosures made in this Form 10-Q and in other documents we file from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission that disclose risks and uncertainties that may affect our business. The forward-looking statements in this Form 10-Q do not reflect the potential impact of any divestitures, mergers, acquisitions, or other business combinations that had not been completed as of November 20, 2017. In addition, the forward-looking statements in this Form 10-Q are made as of the date of this filing, and we do not undertake, and expressly disclaims any duty, to update such statements, whether as a result of new information, new developments or otherwise, except to the extent that disclosure may be required by law.

SEPTEMBER 30, 2017
U.S. dollars in thousands, except share and per share data
 

 
 
1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
 
Digital Power Corporation ("Digital Power") was incorporated in 1969, under the General Corporation Law of the State of California. Digital Power and Digital Power Limited ("DP Limited"), a wholly owned subsidiary, located in the United Kingdom, are currently engaged in the design, manufacture and sale of switching power supplies and converters. On November 30, 2016, Digital Power formed Digital Power Lending, LLC (“DP Lending”), and on April 25, 2017, Digital Power formed Coolisys Technologies, Inc. (“Coolisys”). Both DP Lending and Coolisys are wholly-owned subsidiaries. DP Lending is engaged in providing commercial loans to companies throughout the United States to provide them with operating capital to finance the growth of their businesses. The loans will primarily be short-term, ranging from six to twelve months. The Company intends to operate its existing businesses in the customized and flexible power system solutions for the medical, military, telecom and industrial markets, other than the European markets which are primarily served by DP Limited, in Coolisys. On June 2, 2017, Digital Power purchased 56.4% of the outstanding equity interests of Microphase Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Microphase”). Microphase is a design-to-manufacture original equipment manufacturer (“OEM”) delivering radio frequency (“RF”) and microwave filters, diplexers, multiplexers, detectors, switch filters, integrated assemblies and detector logarithmic video amplifiers (“DLVA”) to the military, aerospace and telecommunications industries. Microphase is headquartered in Shelton, Connecticut. Further, on September 1, 2017, Coolisys acquired all of the outstanding membership interests in Power-Plus Technical Distributors, LLC, a California limited liability company (“Power-Plus”). Power-Plus is an industrial distributor of value added power supply solutions, UPS systems, fans, filters, line cords, and other power-related components. The Company’s results of operations include the results of Microphase and Power-Plus from their respective acquisition dates forward. Digital Power, DP Limited, Microphase, Coolisys, Power-Plus and DP Lending (collectively, the “Company”) has two reportable geographic segments - North America (sales through Digital Power, Microphase, Coolisys, Power-Plus and DP Lending) and Europe (sales through DP Limited).

2. LIQUIDITY, GOING CONCERN AND MANAGEMENT’S PLANS

As of September 30, 2017, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $314, an accumulated deficit of $17,212 and a negative working capital of $4,174.

On July 28, 2017, we entered into an exchange agreement with an institutional investor who was the owner of (i) a 7% Convertible Note in the principal amount of $125 and a warrant dated April 17, 2017 to purchase 83,334 shares of our common stock at $0.90. Under the terms of the exchange agreement, we agreed to exchange the 7% Convertible Note for three new promissory notes in the principal amounts of $110 due August 1, 2017; $35 due August 1, 2017; and $34 due August 8, 2017 (individually an Exchange Note and collectively the Exchange Notes) and to exchange the prior warrant for a new warrant to purchase 83,334 shares of common stock at $0.55 per share. Concurrent with entering into this exchange agreement, the institutional investor entered into a subscription agreement under which we issued and sold in a registered direct offering 200,000 shares of common stock at $0.55 per share for an aggregate purchase price of $110. The 200,000 shares of common stock were purchased through the cancellation of the Exchange Note in the principal amount of $110. In addition, in a concurrent private placement, the institutional investor entered into a separate securities purchase agreement under which we issued and sold 63,600 shares of common stock at $0.55 per share for an aggregate of purchase price of $35. The 63,600 shares of common stock were purchased through the cancellation of the Exchange Note in the principal amount of $35. Further, we issued a warrant to purchase 120,000 shares of common stock at $0.55 per share (See Note 14).

·
On August 3, 2017, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement to sell a 12% Convertible (“12% Convertible Note”) and a warrant to purchase 666,666 shares of common stock to an accredited investor (the “Investor”). The principal of the Convertible Note may be converted into shares of common stock at $0.55 per share and under the terms of the Warrant, up to 666,666 shares of common stock may be purchased at an exercise price of $0.70 per share. The Convertible Note is in the principal amount of $400 and was sold for $360, bears interest at 12% simple interest on the principal amount, and is due on August 13, 2018. Interest only payments are due on a quarterly basis and the principal is due on August 3, 2018. The principal may be converted into shares of the Company’s common stock at $0.55 per share (See Note 12).  

·
On August 10, 2017, the Company, entered into Securities Purchase Agreements (“Agreements”) with five institutional investors (the “Investors”) to sell for an aggregate purchase price of $800, 10% Senior Convertible Promissory Notes (“Convertible Notes”) with an aggregate principal face amount of $880 and warrants to purchase an aggregate of 1,475,000 shares of common stock. The principal of the Convertible Notes and interest earned thereon may be converted into shares of common stock at $0.60 per share and under the terms of the Warrant, up to 1,475,000 shares of common stock may be purchased at an exercise price of $0.66 per share. The Convertible Notes are in the aggregate principal amount of $880 and were sold for $800 and bear simple interest at 10% on the principal amount, and principal and interest are due on February 10, 2018. Subject to certain beneficial ownership limitations, each Investor may convert the principal amount of the Convertible Note and accrued interest earned thereon at any time into shares of common stock at $0.60 per share. The conversion price of the Convertible Notes is subject to adjustment for customary stock splits, stock dividends, combinations or similar events (See Note 12).

The Company expects to continue to incur losses for the foreseeable future and needs to raise additional capital to continue its business development initiatives and to support its working capital requirements. In March 2017, the Company was awarded a 3-year, $50 million purchase order by MTIX Ltd. (“MTIX") to manufacture, install and service the Multiplex Laser Surface Enhancement (“MLSE”) plasma-laser system. Management believes that the MLSE purchase order will be a source of revenue and generate significant cash flows for the Company. Management believes that the Company has access to capital resources through potential public or private issuance of debt or equity securities. However, if the Company is unable to raise additional capital, it may be required to curtail operations and take additional measures to reduce costs, including reducing its workforce, eliminating outside consultants and reducing legal fees to conserve its cash in amounts sufficient to sustain operations and meet its obligations. These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might become necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

3. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X and do not include all the information and disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The Company has made estimates and judgments affecting the amounts reported in our consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes.  The actual results experienced by the Company may differ materially from our estimates. The consolidated financial information is unaudited but reflects all normal adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary to provide a fair statement of results for the interim periods presented. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 10, 2017.  The consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2016 was derived from the Company’s audited 2016 financial statements contained in the above referenced Form 10-K.  Results of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2017.
 
Principles of Consolidation

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Digital Power, its wholly-owned subsidiaries, DP Limited, Coolisys, Power-Plus and DP Lending and its majority-owned subsidiary, Microphase. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Accounting Estimates
 
The preparation of financial statements, in conformity with GAAP, requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions. The Company's management believes that the estimates, judgments and assumptions used are reasonable based upon information available at the time they are made. These estimates, judgments and assumptions can affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Key estimates include acquisition accounting, fair value of certain financial instruments, reserve for trade receivables and inventories, carrying amounts of investments, accruals of certain liabilities including product warranties, and deferred income taxes and related valuation allowance.
 
Investments in Debt and Equity Securities

The Company classifies its investments in Avalanche International, Corp (“AVLP”), consisting of shares of common stock and debt securities, in accordance with ASC No. 320, Investment in Debt and Equity Securities (“ASC No. 320”) and ASC No. 325, Investment – Other (“ASC No. 325”). The investment in marketable securities and convertible promissory notes are both classified as “available-for-sale securities” and are carried at fair value, based on quoted market prices. Unrealized gains and losses are reported as a separate component of stockholder’s equity, accumulated other comprehensive loss. When evaluating the Company’s debt and equity investments for other-than-temporary impairment, the Company reviews factors such as the length of time and extent to which fair value has been below cost basis, the financial condition of the issuer and any changes thereto, and the Company’s intent to sell, or whether it is more likely than not that it will be required to sell, the investment before recovery of the investment’s amortized cost basis. Equity securities that do not have readily determinable fair values (i.e., non-marketable equity securities) and are not required to be accounted for under the equity method are typically carried at cost (i.e., cost method investments), as described in ASC No. 325-20. Additionally, the investment in debt securities of AVLP qualifies for application of the fair value option in accordance with ASC No. 825.
  
Revenue Recognition

The Company generates revenues from the sale of its products through a direct and indirect sales force. Revenues from products are recognized in accordance with ASC No. 605, Revenue Recognition, when the following criteria are met: persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the seller's price to the buyer is fixed or determinable, no further obligation exists and collectability is reasonably assured. Generally, the Company does not grant a right of return. However, certain distributors are allowed, in the six months after the initial stock purchase, to rotate stock that has not been sold for other products. Revenues subject to stock rotation rights are deferred until the products are sold to the end customer or until the rotation rights expire. Service revenues are deferred and recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the service agreement. Service revenues are immaterial in proportion to the Company's revenues.

Warranty
 
The Company offers a warranty period for all its products. Warranty periods range from one to two years depending on the product. The Company estimates the costs that may be incurred under its warranty and records a liability in the amount of such costs at the time product revenue is recognized. Factors that affect the Company's warranty liability include the number of units sold, historical rates of warranty claims and cost per claim. The Company periodically assesses the adequacy of its recorded warranty liability and adjusts the amounts as necessary. As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company’s accrued warranty liability was $86.
 
Common Stock Purchase Warrants and Other Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company classifies common stock purchase warrants and other free standing derivative financial instruments 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 assets and liabilities is required. The Company determined that certain freestanding derivatives, which principally consist of issuance of warrants to purchase shares of common in connection with convertible notes, units and to employees of the Company, satisfy the criteria for classification as equity instruments as these warrants do not contain cash settlement features or variable settlement provision that cause them to not be indexed to the Company’s own stock.
  
Stock-Based Compensation

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC No. 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation ("ASC No. 718"). Under ASC No. 718, compensation expense related to stock-based payments is recorded over the requisite service period based on the grant date fair value of the awards.  Compensation previously recorded for unvested stock options that are forfeited is reversed upon forfeiture.  The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model for determining the estimated fair value for stock-based awards.  The Black-Scholes model requires the use of assumptions which determine the fair value of stock-based awards, including the option’s expected term and the price volatility of the underlying stock.

The Company’s accounting policy for equity instruments issued to consultants and vendors in exchange for goods and services follows the provisions of ASC No. 505-50, Equity Based Payments to Non-Employees.  Accordingly, the measurement date for the fair value of the equity instruments issued is determined at the earlier of (i) the date at which a commitment for performance by the consultant or vendor is reached or (ii) the date at which the consultant or vendor’s performance is complete.  In the case of equity instruments issued to consultants, the fair value of the equity instrument is recognized over the term of the consulting agreement.

Convertible Instruments

The Company accounts for hybrid contracts that feature conversion options in accordance with ASC No. 815, Derivatives and Hedging Activities (“ASC No. 815”). ASC No. 815 requires companies to bifurcate conversion options from their host instruments and account for them as freestanding derivative financial instruments according to certain criteria. The criteria includes circumstances in which (a) the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded derivative instrument are not clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics and risks of the host contract, (b) the hybrid instrument that embodies both the embedded derivative instrument and the host contract is not re-measured at fair value under otherwise applicable GAAP with changes in fair value reported in earnings as they occur and (c) a separate instrument with the same terms as the embedded derivative instrument would be considered a derivative instrument.

Conversion options that contain variable settlement features such as provisions to adjust the conversion price upon subsequent issuances of equity or equity linked securities at exercise prices more favorable than that featured in the hybrid contract generally result in their bifurcation from the host instrument.
 
The Company accounts for convertible instruments, when the Company has determined that the embedded conversion options should not be bifurcated from their host instruments, in accordance with ASC No. 470-20, Debt with Conversion and Other Options (“ASC No. 470-20”). Under ASC No. 470-20 the Company records, when necessary, discounts to convertible notes for the intrinsic value of conversion options embedded in debt instruments based upon the differences between the fair value of the underlying common stock at the commitment date of the note transaction and the effective conversion price embedded in the note. The Company accounts for convertible instruments (when the Company has determined that the embedded conversion options should be bifurcated from their host instruments) in accordance with ASC No. 815.
  
Comprehensive Loss

The Company reports comprehensive loss in accordance with ASC No. 220, Comprehensive Income. This statement establishes standards for the reporting and presentation of comprehensive loss and its components in a full set of general purpose financial statements. Comprehensive loss generally represents all changes in equity during the period except those resulting from investments by, or distributions to, stockholders. The Company determined that its items of other comprehensive loss relate to changes in foreign currency translation adjustments.

Fair value of Financial Instruments

In accordance with ASC No. 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, fair value is defined as the exit price, or the amount that would be received for the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants as of the measurement date.
 
The guidance also establishes a hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs are inputs that market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability and are developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the Company’s assumptions about the factors that market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability. The guidance establishes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1: Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2: Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or model-derived valuations.  All significant inputs used in our valuations are observable or can be derived principally from or corroborated with observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. Level 2 inputs also include quoted prices that were adjusted for security-specific restrictions which are compared to output from internally developed models such as a discounted cash flow models.

Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

The carrying amounts of financial instruments carried at cost, including cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables and trade receivable – related party, investments, notes receivable, trade payables and trade payables – related party approximate their fair value due to the short-term maturities of such instruments.
 
As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the fair value of the Company’s investments were $3,782 and $1,036, respectively, and were concentrated in debt and equity securities of AVLP, a related party (See Note 4), which are classified as available-for-sale investments.  At September 30, 2017, the Company's investment in AVLP is comprised of convertible promissory notes of $3,670, net of unamortized discount, and marketable equity securities of $112. At December 31, 2016, the Company's investment in AVLP is comprised of convertible promissory notes of $952, net of unamortized discount, and marketable equity securities of $84. For investments in marketable equity securities, the Company took into consideration general market conditions, the duration and extent to which the fair value is below cost, and the Company’s ability and intent to hold the investment for a sufficient period of time to allow for recovery of value in the foreseeable future. As a result of this analysis, the Company has determined that its cost basis in AVLP equitable securities approximates the current fair value.
 
Consistent with the guidance at ASC No. 835, the Company’s presumption is that the fair value of its convertible promissory notes in AVLP have a present value equivalent to the cash proceeds exchanged. Further, the discount shall be reported in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the face amount of the convertible promissory notes. Thus, the Company has determined that the amortized cost of its convertible promissory notes approximates fair value and are subject to a periodic impairment review. The interest income, including amortization of the discount arising at acquisition, for the convertible promissory notes are included in earnings. In the future, if the Company does not expect to recover the entire amortized cost basis, the Company shall recognize other-than-temporary impairments in other comprehensive income (loss).
 
During 2017, the Company purchased at the market shares of common stock of three companies for a total cost of $25. In accordance with ASC No. 320-10, these investments are accounted for pursuant to the fair value method based upon the closing market prices of common stock for these three companies at September 30, 2017.
 
The categorization of a financial instrument within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The following table sets forth the Company’s financial instruments that were measured at fair value on a recurring basis by level within the fair value hierarchy:

We assess the inputs used to measure fair value using a three-tier hierarchy based on the extent to which inputs used in measuring fair value are observable in the market:
 
·
Level 1 – inputs include quoted prices for identical instruments and are the most observable.
·
Level 2 – inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and observable inputs such as interest rates, currency exchange rates and yield curves.
·
Level 3 – inputs are not observable in the market and include management’s judgments about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

Debt Discounts
 
The Company accounts for debt discount according to ASC No. 470-20, Debt with Conversion and Other Options. Debt discounts are amortized through periodic charges to interest expense over the term of the related financial instrument using the effective interest method. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company recorded amortization of debt discounts of $652 and $1,239, respectively. The Company did not recognize any debt discount during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016.
 
Net Loss per Share

Net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. The calculation of the basic and diluted earnings per share is the same for all periods presented, as the effect of the potential common stock equivalents is anti-dilutive due to the Company’s net loss position for all periods presented. The Company has included 317,460 warrants, with an exercise price of $.01, in its earnings per share calculation for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017.  Anti-dilutive securities consisted of the following at September 30,

At September 30, 2017, the 20,887,906 of potential common stock equivalents included 6,926,095 in warrants, convertible notes and preferred stock in which the holders are contractually prohibited from exercising or converting the warrants, convertible notes and preferred stock into shares of the Company’s common stock. The restriction shall remain until shareholder approval is received.

Subsequent to September 30, 2017, the Company entered into agreements to issue an additional 2,042,239 shares of common stock and issued convertible notes and warrants that when exercised would result in the issuance of an additional 2,274,800 shares of common stock. As a result, on November 2, 2017, if all of the potential common stock equivalents in which there are no contractual restrictions upon exercise were converted into shares of the Company’s common stock it would exceed the Company’s authorized shares of common stock.
 
Recently Issued Accounting Standards

The Company has considered all other recently issued accounting standards and does not believe the adoption of such standards will have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

During the year ended December 31, 2016, the Company made a strategic decision to invest in AVLP, a related party controlled by Philou, an existing majority stockholder. The Company’s investments in AVLP primarily consist of convertible promissory notes and shares of common stock of AVLP.
 
On October 5, 2016, November 30, 2016, and February 22, 2017, the Company entered into three 12% Convertible Promissory Notes with AVLP (the "AVLP Notes") in the principal amount of $525 each. The AVLP Notes included a 5% original issue discount, resulting in net loans to AVLP of $1,500 and an original issue discount of $75. The AVLP notes accrued interest at 12% per annum and were due on or before two years from the origination dates of each note. The Company had the right, at its option, to convert all or any portion of the principal and accrued interest into shares of common stock of AVLP at approximately $0.74536 per share. Subject to adjustment, the AVLP Notes, inclusive of the original issue discount, were convertible into 2,113,086 shares of the Company’s common stock. During the period from March 29, 2017 to August 16, 2017, the Company funded $1,809 in excess of the $1,500 net loan amount required pursuant to the terms of the AVLP Notes

On September 6, 2017, the Company and AVLP entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (“AVLP Loan Agreement”) with an effective date of August 21, 2017 pursuant to which the Company will provide Avalanche a non-revolving credit facility of up to $5,000, inclusive of prior amounts loaned to AVLP, for a period ending on August 21, 2019, subject to the terms and conditions stated in the Loan Agreement, including that the Company having available funds to grant such credit.

In consideration of entering into the AVLP Loan Agreement, the Company and AVLP cancelled the AVLP Notes and consolidated the AVLP Notes and prior advances totaling $3,309 plus original issue discount of $165 and issued a new Convertible Promissory Note in the aggregate principal amount of $3,474 (the “New Note”) that is convertible into shares of AVLP at a conversion price of $0.50 per share. The New Note is due in two years and accrues interest at 12% per annum on the principal amount. Prior interest accrued under the AVLP Notes and advances will continue to be an obligation of AVLP. The New Note contains standard events of defaults. In addition, concurrent to issuing the New Note, AVLP issued to the Company a five-year Warrant to purchase 6,948,800 shares of AVLP Common Stock at $0.50 per share. Future advances under the AVLP Loan Agreement, if any, will be evidenced by a convertible promissory containing a conversion price feature at $0.50 per share and warrant with an exercise price of $0.50 per share. Further, under the terms of the AVLP Loan Agreement, any notes issued by AVLP are secured by the assets of AVLP.
 
The Warrant entitles the Company to purchase up to 6,948,800 shares of AVLP common stock at an exercise price of $0.50 per share for a period of five years. The exercise price of $0.50 is subject to adjustment for customary stock splits, stock dividends, combinations or similar events. The Warrant may be exercised for cash or on a cashless basis.

The original issue discount of $165 on the New Note is being amortized as interest income through the maturity date using the interest rate method. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company recorded $18 and $38, respectively, of interest income for the discount accretion. As of September 30, 2017, and December 31, 2016, the Company recorded contractual interest receivable attributed to the AVLP Notes and AVLP Loan Agreement of $208 and $13, respectively.

The Company has classified the AVLP Notes as Available-for-Sale securities, subject to the guidance in ASC No. 320. The Company elected to apply the Fair Value Option Subsections of Subtopic 320-10 and 825-10 to the AVLP Notes. At September 30, 2017, the closing market price of AVLP’s common Stock was $0.64. Subsequent to quarter-end, the closing market price of AVLP’s common stock was in the range of $0.51 and $ 0.85 and due to the illiquidity and significant volatility of AVLP’s common stock, the Company has determined that its cost basis in AVLP common stock approximates the current fair value.

5. ACQUISITIONS

Microphase Corporation

On April 28, 2017, the Company entered into a Share Exchange Agreement (the “Share Exchange Agreement”) with Microphase; Microphase Holding Company LLC, a limited liability company organized under the laws of Connecticut (“MHC”), Ergul Family Limited Partnership, a partnership organized under the laws of Connecticut (“EFLP”) RCKJ Trust, a trust organized under the laws of New Jersey (“RCKJ” and with MHC and EFLP, the “Significant Stockholders”) and those additional persons who have executed the Agreement (collectively, the “Minority Stockholders” and with the Significant Stockholders, the “Stockholders”).  Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Agreement, the Company acquired 1,603,434 shares (the “Subject Shares”) of the issued and outstanding common stock of Microphase (the “MPC Common Stock”), from the Stockholders in exchange (the “Exchange”) for the issuance by the Company of 1,842,448 shares of Digital Power common stock (“Common Stock”) and 378,776 shares of Digital Power Series D Preferred Stock (collectively, the “Exchange Shares”), which shares of Digital Power Series D Preferred Stock are, subject to shareholder approval, convertible into an aggregate of 757,552 shares of Common Stock and warrants (the “Exchange Warrants”) to purchase an aggregate of 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock (the “Warrant Shares”).  The Exchange Shares and the Exchange Warrants are at times collectively referred to herein as the “Exchange Securities.” At the time of the closing of the acquisition the Exchange Shares constituted 56.4% of the outstanding equity interests of Microphase Corporation. The operating results of Microphase from the closing date of the acquisition, June 2, 2017, through September 30, 2017, are included in the consolidated financial statements.

At closing, the purchase price of Digital Power’s 56.4% interest in Microphase was determined to be $1,451, comprised of the Exchange Shares, valued at $1,222 based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock on June 2, 2017, and the Exchange warrants, valued at $229. The Company computed the fair value of these warrants using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.

Power-Plus Technical Distributors

On August 3, 2017, Coolisys entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) to acquire all the outstanding membership Interests of Power-Plus. Power-Plus is an industrial distributor of value added power supply solutions, UPS systems, fans, filters, line cords, and other power-related components. On September 1, 2017, Coolisys completed the acquisition.

Under the terms of the Agreement, Coolisys Technologies acquired all the membership Interests of Power-Plus for a price of $850, which was reduced by certain debts of Power-Plus in the amount of $186. The purchase price of $664 will be paid by (i) a two-year promissory note in the amount of $255,000 payable in 24 monthly installments; and (ii) cash at closing of $409 resulting in a net purchase price of $664.

The acquisition of Microphase and Power-Plus is being accounted for under the purchase method of accounting in accordance with ASC No. 805, Business Combinations. Under the purchase method, assets acquired and liabilities assumed are recorded at their estimated fair values. Goodwill is recorded to the extent the purchase price exceeds the fair value of the net identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired less liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition.

6. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
 
Under the Company's 2016 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2016 Plan”) and the 2012 Stock Option Plan, as amended (the “2012 Plan”) (collectively, the “Plans”), options may be granted to employees, officers, consultants, service providers and directors of the Company. The Plans, as amended, provide for the issuance of a maximum of 5,372,630 shares of the Company’s common stock. The Company also has 206,000 outstanding options that were granted between 2009 and 2011 pursuant to the terms of the Company's 2002 Stock Option Plan (the “2002 Plan”). Options granted pursuant to the 2002 Plan expire between September 2008 and February 2021.

Options granted under the Plans have an exercise price equal to or greater than the fair value of the underlying common stock at the date of grant and become exercisable based on a vesting schedule determined at the date of grant. Typically, options granted generally become fully vested after four years. Any options that are forfeited or cancelled before expiration become available for future grants. The options expire between 5 and 10 years from the date of grant.  Restricted stock awards granted under the Plans are subject to a vesting period determined at the date of grant. As of September 30, 2017, an aggregate of 1,350,832 of the Company's options are still available for future grant.
 
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company granted 50,000 and 560,000 options, respectively, from the Plans to its employees at an average exercise price of $0.61 per share.  These options become fully vested after four years. The Company estimated that the grant date fair value of these options was $251, which is being recognized as stock-based compensation expense over the requisite four-year service period. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company also issued 380,645 and 1,336,798, respectively, shares of common stock to its consultants and service providers pursuant to the 2016 Plan. The Company estimated that the grant date fair value of these shares of common stock was $742, which was determined from the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the date of issuance. The Company did not grant any options or restricted stock awards during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016.
 
The Company has valued the options at their date of grant utilizing the Black-Scholes option pricing model.  This model is dependent upon several variables such as the options’ term, exercise price, current stock price, risk-free interest rate estimated over the expected term and estimated volatility of our stock over the expected term of the options. The risk-free interest rate used in the calculations is based on the implied yield available on U.S. Treasury issues with an equivalent term approximating the expected life of the options as calculated using the simplified method. The estimated volatility was determined based on the historical volatility of our common stock.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company estimated the fair value of stock options granted using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions:
 
   
September 30, 2017
 
Weighted average risk free interest rate

During the three months ended September 30, 2017, aggregate stock-based compensation was $517, which consisted of $365 from the issuances of equity based awards pursuant to the Plans and stock-based compensation attributed to restricted stock award of $120 warrants and options of $32, which were issued outside of the Plans. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, the only stock-based compensation expense was from issuances pursuant to the Plans.

On July 28, 2017, we entered into an exchange agreement related to a 7% Convertible Note in the principal amount of $125 in which we exchanged the 7% Convertible Note for three new promissory notes in the principal amounts of $110,000 due August 1, 2017; $35,000 due August 1, 2017; and $34,000 due August 8, 2017 (individually an Exchange Note and collectively the Exchange Notes).

The Company has valued the warrants at their date of grant utilizing the Black-Scholes option pricing model.  This model is dependent upon several variables such as the warrants’ term, exercise price, current stock price, risk-free interest rate and estimated volatility of our stock over the contractual term of the options. The risk-free interest rate used in the calculations is based on the implied yield available on U.S. Treasury issues with an equivalent term approximating the contractual life of the warrants.

The Company utilized the Black-Scholes option pricing model and the assumptions used during the nine months ended September 30, 2017:

Under the terms of the agreements, the Company will be obligated to pay the initial daily amount of $13 until the $2,585 has been paid in full. As of September 30, 2017, the Company had paid back $439. The term future receipts means cash, check, ACH, credit card, debit card, bank card, charged card or other form of monetary payment. The Company recorded a discount in the amount of $813. The discount is being amortized as non-cash interest expense over the term of the agreement. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, non-cash interest expense of $142 was recorded from the amortization of debt discounts.

9. REVOLVING CREDIT FACILITY

Microphase entered into a revolving loan agreement with Gerber Finance, Inc. (“Gerber”) in February of 2012, as amended in September 2015 and July 2017 (the “Revolving Credit Facility”). Under the Revolving Credit Facility, Microphase can receive funds based on a borrowing base, which consists of a percentage of eligible accounts receivable, up to a maximum revolving amount of $1,400 (the “Maximum Revolving Amount”). Pursuant to the terms of the Revolving Credit Facility, Microphase is subject to an annual facility fee in an amount equal to 1.75% of the Maximum Revolving Amount due on each anniversary, a monthly collateral monitoring fees of $1 and other fees. Interest accrues at the prime rate plus three and three-quarters percent (3.75%) on the unpaid principal. Effective June 15, 2017, the prime rate was increased from 4.00% to 4.25% resulting in a base rate of 8.00%. If borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility exceed the collateral borrowing base, then Microphase is subject to an additional 2.5% interest charge per month on the over-advance amounts and a separate additional charge of 2.5% if borrowings exceed the Maximum Revolving Amount. At September 30, 2017, the amount due pursuant to the Revolving Credit Facility, was $310. The interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and for the period from June 3, 2017 (date loan was assumed) to September 30, 2017, was $35 and $49, respectively.

On July 14, 2017, as a result of a notice that Microphase received from Gerber identifying several events of default under the terms of the Revolving Credit Facility, Microphase and Gerber entered into a Forbearance Agreement. The events of default were primarily related to, (i) the change in control that occurred on June 2, 2017, when Digital Power acquired a majority interest in Microphase, and (ii) borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility exceeding the collateral borrowing base. The Forbearance agreement accelerated the repayment of borrowings that were secured by inventories and equipment until such borrowings were repaid and required the Company to provide a corporate guarantee for amounts advanced under the Revolving Credit Facility, which guarantee was provided on July 20, 2017. As of September 30, 2017, approximately $65 of borrowings subject to acceleration remained outstanding on the Revolving Credit Facility.

In December 2016, Microphase issued $705 in 10% short-term promissory notes to nineteen accredited investors which, after deducting $71 of placement fees to its selling agent, Spartan Capital Securities, LLC (“Spartan”), resulted in $634 in net proceeds to Microphase (the “10% Short-Term Notes”). The 10% Short-Term Notes are due one year from the date of issuance. The amount due pursuant to the 10% Short-Term Notes is equal to the entire original principal amount multiplied by 125% (the “Loan Premium”) plus accrued interest. During the three months ended September 30, 2017 and the period June 3, 2017 to September 30, 2017, Microphase incurred $19 and $25, respectively, of interest on these 10% short-term promissory notes. Concurrently, Microphase entered into a one-year agreement with Spartan for investment banking services which provided for: (i) $120 of consulting fees that were paid in cash from the proceeds of the 10% Short-Term Notes; and (ii) if Microphase completes an initial public offering, $90 payable in shares of Microphase common stock. As of September 30, 2017, accrued interest on the 10% Short-Term Notes was $237.

(b) On June 2, 2017, pursuant to the terms of the Share Exchange Agreement and in consideration of legal services, Microphase issued a $450 8% promissory note with a maturity date of November 25, 2017 to Lucosky Brookman, LLP (the “Lucosky Note”). In conjunction with the issuance of the Lucosky Note, the Company issued Lucosky Brookman 10,000 shares of redeemable convertible Series E preferred stock (the “Series E Preferred Stock”) with a stated value of $45 per share as an alternative to providing a guarantee for the amount of the Lucosky Note. The Company, at its option, may redeem for cash, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, the shares of Series E Preferred Stock at the time outstanding, upon written notice to the holder of the shares, at a cash redemption price equal to $45 multiplied by the number of shares being redeemed. Any such optional redemption by the Company shall be credited against the Lucosky Note. During the three months ended September 30, 2017 and the period June 3, 2017 to September 30, 2017, Microphase incurred $3 and $6, respectively, of interest on the Lucosky Note.

As of September 30, 2017, the second line of credit, secured by the former CEO’s principal residence, had an outstanding balance of $90, with an annual interest rate of 3.00%. During the three months ended September 30, 2017 and the period June 3, 2017 to September 30, 2017, Microphase incurred $3 and $4, respectively, of interest on the Wells Fargo Notes.

(d)
In August 2016, Microphase received a $300 loan, of which $2 has been repaid, pursuant to the State of Connecticut Small Business Express Job Creation Incentive Program which is administered through the Department of Economic and Community Development (“DECD”) (the “DECD Note”).

Payment of principal and interest was deferred during the initial year and commencing in September 2017, payable in equal monthly installments over the remaining term. During the three months ended September 30, 2017 and the period June 3, 2017 to September 30, 2017, Microphase incurred $3 of interest on the DECD Note. In conjunction with the DECD Note, Microphase was awarded a Small Business Express Matching Grant of $100. State grant funding requires a dollar for dollar match on behalf of Microphase.

(f)
       At September 30, 2017, Power-Plus had guaranteed the repayment of two lines of credit in the aggregate amount of $182 with Bank of America NA (“B of A”) and Wells Fargo (collectively, the “Power-Plus Lines”). As of September 30, 2017, the B of A line of credit had an outstanding balance of $107, with an annual interest rate of 6.25%. As of September 30, 2017, the Wells Fargo line of credit had an outstanding balance of $75, with an annual interest rate of 10.00%. During the period September 2 to September 30, 2017, Power-Plus incurred $1 of interest on the Power-Plus Lines.

(g)

(h)
Between May 5, 2017 and September 30, 2017, the Company received additional short-term loans of $215 from five accredited investors, of which $75 was from the Company’s corporate counsel, a related party. As additional consideration, the investors received five-year warrants to purchase 224,371 shares of common stock at a weighted average exercise price of $0.77 per share. The warrants are exercisable commencing six months after the issuance date and are subject to certain beneficial ownership limitations. The exercise price of these warrants is subject to adjustment for customary stock splits, stock dividends, combinations and other standard anti-dilution events. The warrants may be exercised for cash or on a cashless basis. During the quarter ended June 30, 2017, the Company recorded debt discount in the amount of $95 based on the estimated fair value of these warrants. The Company computed the fair value of these warrants using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. As a result of the short-term feature of these loans and advances, the debt discount was amortized as non-cash interest expense upon issuance of the warrants using the effective interest method.

During June 2017, the holders of $55 of these short-term loans agreed to cancel their notes for the purchase of 100,001 shares of the Company’s common stock at a price of $0.55 per share. An additional $75 in short-term loans from the Company’s corporate counsel was converted into the Company’s equity securities; $52 was converted into one of the Series C Units and $23 was converted into the Company’s common stock. The Company did not record any additional interest expense as a result of the extinguishment of $130 in short-term loans since the carrying amount of the short-term loans was equivalent to the fair value of the consideration transferred, which was determined from the closing price of the Company’s equity securities on the date of extinguishment. During the three months ended September 30, 2017, the Company also repaid $30 in short-term loans.
 
Other Notes Payable

In February 2017, the Company issued to eight accredited investors $400 in demand promissory notes bearing interest at a rate of 6% per annum. Of the eight accredited investors, one investor was deemed a related party. As additional consideration, the investors received five-year warrants to purchase 333,333 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.70 per share (the “Feb. 2017 Warrants”). The Feb. 2017 Warrants are exercisable commencing six months after the issuance date and are subject to certain beneficial ownership limitations. The exercise price of the Feb. 2017 Warrants is subject to adjustment for customary stock splits, stock dividends, combinations and other standard anti-dilution events. The Feb. 2017 Warrants may be exercised for cash or on a cashless basis. During the quarter ended March 31, 2017, the Company recorded debt discount in the amount of $151 based on the estimated fair value of the Feb. 2017 Warrants. The Company computed the fair value of these warrants using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. As a result of the due on demand feature of the promissory notes, the debt discount was amortized as non-cash interest expense upon issuance of the Feb. 2017 Warrants using the effective interest method.

Between February 16, 2017 and February 23, 2017, the holders of the $400 in demand promissory notes agreed to cancel their demand promissory notes for the purchase of 666,667 shares of the Company’s common stock, an extinguishment price of $0.60 per share. During the quarter ended March 31, 2017, the Company recorded additional interest expense of $13 as a result of the extinguishment of the $400 in demand promissory notes based on the difference of the carrying amount of the demand promissory notes and the fair value of the consideration transferred, which was determined from the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the date of extinguishment.

On March 28, 2017, the Company issued $270 in demand promissory notes to several investors. These demand promissory notes accrued interest at the rate of 6% per annum.

(a) On December 29, 2016, the Company entered into an agreement with MCKEA Holdings, LLC (“MCKEA”). MCKEA is the majority member of Philou Ventures, LLC, which is the Company’s controlling shareholder. Kristine L. Ault, a director and the wife of Milton C. Ault III, Executive Chairman of the Company’s Board of Directors, is the manager and owner of MCKEA, for a demand promissory note (The “MCKEA Note”) in the amount of $250 bearing interest at the rate of 6% per annum on unpaid principal. The MCKEA Note may be prepaid, in whole or in part, without penalty, at the option of the Company and without the consent of MCKEA. As of December 31, 2016, no interest was accrued on the MCKEA Note. On March 24, 2017, the MCKEA Note was cancelled to purchase the Company’s Series B Preferred Stock pursuant to the terms of the Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement entered into on March 9, 2017 (See Note 14). Since there was no difference between the reacquisition price and the net carrying value of the cancelled debt, no gain or loss was recognized as a result of this transaction.

(b) Microphase is a party to several notes payable agreements with seven of its past officers, employees and their family members. As of September 30, 2017, the aggregate outstanding balance pursuant to these notes payable agreements, inclusive of $87 of accrued interest, was $493, with annual interest rates ranging between 3.00% and 6.00%. During the three months ended September 30, 2017 and the period June 3, 2017 to September 30, 2017, Microphase incurred $7 of interest on these notes payable agreements. In July 2016, one of these noteholders initiated litigation to collect the balance owed under the terms of his respective agreement. At September 30, 2017, the outstanding principal balance and accrued interest owed under this particular agreement was $162.

The Convertible Note is in the principal amount of $400, included an original issue discount (“OID”) of $40 resulting in net proceeds to the Company of $360, bears interest at 12% simple interest on the principal amount, and is due on August 13, 2018. Interest only payments are due on a quarterly basis and the principal is due on August 3, 2018. The principal may be converted into shares of the Company’s common stock at $0.55 per share.
 
The Company computed the fair value of the 666,666 warrants using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and, as a result of this calculation, recorded debt discount in the amount of $167 based on the estimated fair value of the 666,666 warrants.
 
The beneficial conversion feature (“BCF”) embedded in the Convertible Note is accounted for under ASC No. 470, Debt. At issuance, the estimated fair value of the BCF totaled $187. The Company, however, is prohibited from issuing shares of common stock pursuant to the Convertible Note unless stockholder approval of such issuance of securities is obtained as required by applicable NYSE MKT listing rules. The Company has not yet received stockholder approval of such share issuances. The fair value of the BCF was allocated from the net proceeds of the Convertible Note and, upon stockholder approval, if received, will be amortized to interest expense over the term of the Convertible Note using the effective interest method. The valuation of the BCF was calculated based on the effective conversion price compared with the market price of the Company’s common stock on the date of issuance of the Convertible Note. In aggregate, the Company recorded debt discount in the amount of $207 based on the relative fair values of the 666,666 warrants and OID of $40. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, non-cash interest expense of $37 was recorded from the amortization of debt discounts.
 
10% Convertible secured note
 
On August 10, 2017, the Company, entered into Securities Purchase Agreements (“Agreements”) with five institutional investors (the “Investors”) to sell for an aggregate purchase price of $800, 10% Senior Convertible Promissory Notes (“Convertible Notes”) with an aggregate principal face amount of $880 and warrants to purchase an aggregate of 1,475,000 shares of common stock. The principal of the Convertible Notes and interest earned thereon may be converted into shares of common stock at $0.60 per share and under the terms of the Warrant, up to 1,475,000 shares of common stock may be purchased at an exercise price of $0.66 per share.
 
The Convertible Notes are in the aggregate principal amount of $880, included an OID of $80 resulting in net proceeds to the Company of $800, bear simple interest at 10% on the principal amount, and principal and interest are due on February 10, 2018. Subject to certain beneficial ownership limitations, each Investor may convert the principal amount of the Convertible Note and accrued interest earned thereon at any time into shares of common stock at $0.60 per share. The conversion price of the Convertible Notes is subject to adjustment for customary stock splits, stock dividends, combinations or similar events.
 
The Company computed the fair value of the 1,475,000 warrants using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and, as a result of this calculation, recorded debt discount in the amount of $357 based on the estimated fair value of the 1,475,000 warrants.
 
The beneficial conversion feature (“BCF”) embedded in the Convertible Notes is accounted for under ASC No. 470, Debt. At issuance, the estimated fair value of the BCF totaled $327. The fair value of the BCF was allocated from the net proceeds of the Convertible Notes and was amortized to interest expense over the term of the Convertible Notes using the effective interest method.  The valuation of the BCF was calculated based on the effective conversion price compared with the market price of the Company’s common stock on the date of issuance of the Convertible Note. In aggregate, the Company recorded debt discount in the amount of $764 based on the relative fair values of the 1,475,000 warrants of $357, BCF of $327 and OID of $80. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, non-cash interest expense of $212 was recorded from the amortization of debt discounts.

Other Convertible Notes Payable
 
On April 17, 2017, the Company entered into two 7% convertible notes (the “7% Convertible Notes”) each in the aggregate principal amount of $125 for a total of $250. The 7% Convertible Notes accrue interest at 7% simple interest on the principal amount and were due on June 2, 2017. The principal may be converted into shares of the Company’s common stock at $0.75 per share. The noteholder may convert the principal amount of the 7% Convertible Notes at any time into common stock. The 7% Convertible Notes contains standard and customary events of default including, but not limited to, failure to make payments when due under the 7% Convertible Note agreements and bankruptcy or insolvency of the Company. The Company has the right to prepay the 7% Convertible Notes. The 7% Convertible Notes were repaid during July 2017.
 
As additional consideration, the investors received five and a half year warrants to purchase 166,668 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.90 per share (collectively the “7% Convertible Note Warrants”). The 7% Convertible Note Warrants are exercisable commencing six months after the issuance date. The exercise price of the 7% Convertible Note Warrants is subject to adjustment for customary stock splits, stock dividends, combinations and other standard anti-dilution events. The 7% Convertible Note Warrants may be exercised for cash or on a cashless basis. The Company computed the fair value of the 7% Convertible Note Warrants using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and, as a result of this calculation, recorded debt discount in the amount of $61 based on the estimated fair value of the 7% Convertible Note Warrants.
 
The beneficial conversion feature (“BCF”) embedded in the 7% Convertible Notes is accounted for under ASC No. 470, Debt. At issuance, the estimated fair value of the BCF totaled $31. The fair value of the BCF was allocated from the net proceeds of the 7% Convertible Note and was amortized to interest expense over the term of the 7% Convertible Notes using the effective interest method.  The valuation of the BCF was calculated based on the effective conversion price compared with the market price of the Company’s common stock on the date of issuance of the Convertible Note. In aggregate, the Company recorded debt discount in the amount of $93 based on the relative fair values of the 7% Convertible Note Warrants of $61 and BCF of $32. During the three months ended June 30, 2017, the entire non-cash interest expense of $93 was recorded from the amortization of debt discounts.
 
On July 25, 2017, the Company repaid one of the 7% Convertible Notes. Due to the event of default, the Company agreed to reduce the exercise price of warrants to purchase 83,334 shares of common stock from $0.90 per share to $0.55 per share and made a payment of $144. As a result of this transaction, the Company recorded additional interest expense of $17 and recorded an additional $3 in non-cash interest expense based upon the change in the fair value of the warrants due to the adjustment to the exercise price.
 
On July 28, 2017, we entered into an exchange agreement related to the second 7% Convertible Note. Under the terms of the exchange agreement, we agreed to exchange the 7% Convertible Note for three new promissory notes in the principal amounts of $110,000 due August 1, 2017; $35,000 due August 1, 2017; and $34,000 due August 8, 2017 (individually an Exchange Note and collectively the Exchange Notes) and issue a new warrant to purchase 83,334 shares of common stock at $0.55 per share and cancel the prior warrant to purchase 83,334 shares of common stock at $0.90 per share.
 
Concurrent with entering into the exchange agreement, the investor entered into a subscription agreement under which we issued and sold in a registered direct offering 200,000 shares of common stock at $0.55 per share for an aggregate purchase price of $110,000. The 200,000 shares of common stock were purchased through the cancellation of the Exchange Note in the principal amount of $110,000. In addition, in a concurrent private placement, the investor entered into a separate securities purchase agreement under which we issued and sold 63,600 shares of common stock at $0.55 per share for an aggregate of purchase price of $35,000. The 63,600 shares of common stock were purchased through the cancellation of the Exchange Note in the principal amount of $35,000. Further, we issued a warrant to purchase 120,000 shares of common stock at $0.55 per share. The final Exchange Note in the principal amount of $34 was repaid. During the quarter ended September 30, 2017, the Company recorded additional non-cash interest expense of $110 as a result of the extinguishment of the $125 7% Convertible Note based on the difference of the carrying amount of the 7% Convertible Note and the fair value of the consideration transferred, which was determined from the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the date of extinguishment and based upon (i) the change in the fair value of the warrants due to the exchange of the warrant with an exercise price of $0.90 per share with a new warrant with an exercise price of $0.55 per share, (ii) the fair value of the warrant to purchase 120,000 shares of common stock and (iii) the value of the shares of cash and common stock in excess of the amount owed pursuant to the 7% Convertible Note.

On April 26, 2017, the Company entered into a 7% convertible note in the aggregate principal amount of $104. On June 28, 2017, the noteholder converted the outstanding balance into 189,091 shares of the Company’s common stock. The Company did not record any additional interest expense as a result of the extinguishment since the carrying amount of the convertible notes was equivalent to the fair value of the consideration transferred, which was determined from the closing price of the Company’s equity securities on the date of extinguishment.
 
As additional consideration, the investor received a five-year warrant to purchase 160,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.80 per share. The warrants are exercisable commencing six months after the issuance date. The exercise price of the warrants is subject to adjustment for customary stock splits, stock dividends, combinations and other standard anti-dilution events. The warrants may be exercised for cash or on a cashless basis. The Company computed the fair value of these warrants using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and, as a result of this calculation, recorded debt discount in the amount of $25 based on the estimated fair value of the warrants.

The beneficial conversion feature (“BCF”) embedded in this convertible note is accounted for under ASC No. 470, Debt. At issuance, the estimated fair value of the BCF totaled $26. The fair value of the BCF was allocated from the net proceeds of the convertible note and was amortized to interest expense over the term of the convertible note using the effective interest method. The valuation of the BCF was calculated based on the effective conversion price compared with the market price of the Company’s common stock on the date of issuance of the convertible note. In aggregate, the Company recorded debt discount in the amount of $51 based on the relative fair values of the warrants of $25 and BCF of $26. During the three months ended June 30, 2017, non-cash interest expense of $51 was recorded from the amortization of debt discounts.

The Convertible Note contains standard and customary events of default including, but not limited to, failure to make payments when due under the Convertible Note agreement and bankruptcy or insolvency of the Company. Upon 30 days’ notice, the Company has the right to prepay the Convertible Note. In addition, provided that the closing price for a share of the Company’s common stock exceeds $3.00 per share for 30 consecutive trading days, the Company has the right to compel the noteholder to convert the principal amount into shares of common stock at the contractual conversion price.
 
As additional consideration, the investor received a three-year warrant to purchase 265,000 shares of common stock, at an exercise price of $0.80 per share, and a three-year warrant to purchase 265,000 shares of common stock, at an exercise price of $0.90 per share (collectively the “Convertible Note Warrants”). The Convertible Note Warrants are exercisable commencing six months after the issuance date and are subject to certain beneficial ownership limitations. The exercise price of the Convertible Note Warrants is subject to adjustment for customary stock splits, stock dividends, combinations and other standard anti-dilution events. The Convertible Note Warrants may be exercised for cash or on a cashless basis. The Convertible Note Warrants have a call feature that permits the Company to force redemption at $0.001 per share in the event the closing price for a share of the Company’s common stock exceeds $3.00 for 30 consecutive trading days. The Company computed the fair value of the Convertible Note Warrants using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and, as a result of this calculation, recorded debt discount in the amount of $159 based on the estimated fair value of the Convertible Note Warrants.

The beneficial conversion feature (“BCF”) embedded in the Convertible Note is accounted for under ASC No. 470, Debt. At issuance, the estimated fair value of the BCF totaled $329. The fair value of the BCF was allocated from the net proceeds of the Convertible Note and the respective discount and is being amortized to interest expense over the term of the Convertible Note using the effective interest method.  The valuation of the BCF was calculated based on the effective conversion price compared with the market price of the Company’s common stock on the date of issuance of the Convertible Note.

In aggregate, the Company recorded debt discount in the amount of $518 based on the relative fair values of the Convertible Note Warrants of $159, BCF of $329 and OID of $30. The debt discount is being amortized as non-cash interest expense over the term of the debt. In addition, the Company incurred $13 of debt issuance costs which are also being amortized as non-cash interest expense over the term of the debt. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, non-cash interest expense of $44 and $129, respectively, was recorded from the amortization of debt discounts and debt financing cost. As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, accrued interest on the Convertible Note was $16 and $12, respectively.

Series B Preferred Stock

On March 9, 2017, the Company entered into a Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement with Philou, a related party. Pursuant to the terms of the Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement, Philou may invest up to $5,000 in the Company through the purchase of Series B Preferred Stock over the term of 36 months.

Each share of Series B Preferred Stock has a stated value of $10.00 per share. Each share of Series B Preferred Stock may be convertible at the holder’s option into shares of common stock of the Company at a conversion rate of $0.70 per share, upon the earlier to occur of: (i) 60 months from the closing date, or (ii) upon the filing by the Company of one or more periodic reports that, singly or collectively, evidence(s) that the Company’s gross revenues have reached no less than $10,000 in the aggregate, on a consolidated reporting basis, over four consecutive quarters in accordance with U.S.  GAAP. The conversion price will be subject to standard anti-dilution provisions in connection with any stock split, stock dividend, subdivision or similar reclassification of the common stock.

Each share of Series B Preferred Stock shall have the right to receive dividends equal to one ten millionth (0.0000001) of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and stock-based compensation (“EBITDAS”) calculated for a particular calendar year. Assuming the purchase of the entire $5,000 of shares of Preferred Stock, the holders thereof will be entitled to receive dividends equal to five percent (5%) in the aggregate of EBITDAS. Payment of dividends shall be calculated for a calendar year, payable on a quarterly basis, with payments to occur no later than 90 days in arrears from each reporting period subject to a year-end reconciliation. EBITDAS shall mean earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, and stock-based compensation.

At such time as (i) all shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of all outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock (the “Conversion Shares”) shall have been registered for resale pursuant to an effective Registration Statement covering such Conversion Shares, (ii) but no earlier than the twenty-fifth (25th) anniversary of the effective date, the shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall be subject to redemption in cash at the option of the Company in an amount per share equal to 120% of the greater of (a) the stated value plus all accrued and unpaid dividends, if any and (b) the fair market value of such shares of Series B Preferred Stock.

In addition, for each share of Series B Preferred Stock purchased, Philou will receive warrants to purchase shares of common stock in a number equal to the stated value of each share of Series B Preferred Stock purchased divided by $0.70, at an exercise price equal to $0.70 per share of common stock. The warrants do not require a net cash-settlement or provide the holder with a choice of net-cash settlement. The warrants also do not contain a variable settlement provision. Accordingly, any warrants issued to Philou pursuant to the terms of the Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement shall be classified as equity instruments.
 
Further, Philou shall have the right to participate in the Company’s future financings under substantially the same terms and conditions as other investors in those respective financings in order to maintain its then percentage ownership interest in the Company. Philou’s right to participate in such financings shall accrue and accumulate provided that it still owns at least 100,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock.

Between March 24, 2017 and June 2, 2017, Philou purchased 1,000,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock pursuant to the Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement in consideration of the cancellation of the Company debt due to an affiliate of Philou in the amount of $250 and cash of $750. In addition, Philou received warrants to purchase 1,428,572 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.70 per share of common stock, which have been classified as equity instruments. The Company determined that the estimated relative fair value of these warrants, which are classified as equity, was $401 using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Since the warrants were classified as equity securities, the Company allocated the $1,000 purchase price based on the relative fair values of the Series B Preferred Stock and the warrants following the guidance in ASC No. 470, Debt.

The Series B Convertible Preferred Stock is convertible at any time, in whole or in part, at the option of Philou, into shares of common stock at a fixed conversion price, which is subject to adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends, combinations or similar events, of $0.70 per share. As the effective conversion price of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock on a converted basis was below the market price of the Company’s common stock on the date of issuance, it was determined that these discounts represent contingent beneficial conversion features, which were valued at $265 based on the difference between the effective conversion price and the market price of the Company’s common stock on the date of issuance.

The Company, however, is prohibited from issuing shares of common stock pursuant to the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock unless stockholder approval of such issuance of securities is obtained as required by applicable NYSE MKT listing rules. The Company has not yet received stockholder approval of such share issuances. This provision resulted in a contingent beneficial conversion feature that shall be recognized once the contingency is resolved. These features are analogous to preference dividends and shall be recorded as a non-cash return to preferred shareholders through accumulated deficit upon resolution of the contingency.

Series C Preferred Stock

Between May 24, 2017 and June 19, 2017, Digital Power entered into subscription agreements (the “Series C Subscription Agreement”) with approximately twenty accredited investors (the “Series C Investors”) in connection with the sale of twenty-one Units at a purchase price of $52 per Unit raising in the aggregate $1,092 with each Unit consisting of Series C Preferred Stock and Warrants. Each Unit consists of 21,667 shares of Series C Preferred Stock and Warrants to purchase 86,667 shares of common stock.
 
Each share of Series C Preferred Stock has a stated value of $2.40 per share. Each share of Series C Preferred Stock may be convertible at the holder’s option into shares of Common Stock of the Company at a conversion price of $0.60 per share, which, currently, represents four shares of Common Stock. The conversion price is subject to standard anti-dilution provisions in connection with any stock split, stock dividend, subdivision or similar reclassification of the Common Stock. Each share of Series C Preferred stock is mandatorily converted into shares of Common Stock based on the then conversion price in effect in the event that the Company’s Common Stock closing price exceeds $1.20 per share for 20 consecutive trading days. As the effective conversion price of the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock on a converted basis was below the market price of the Company’s common stock on the date of issuance, it was determined that these discounts represent beneficial conversion features, which were valued at $371 and recognized as a deemed dividend, based on the difference between the effective conversion price and the market price of the Company’s common stock on the date of issuance.
 
Each share of Series C Preferred Stock has the right to receive dividends equal $0.24 per share per annum as declared by the Company’s Board of Directors. The dividends will be paid on a quarterly basis on the 20th day following each calendar quarter.
  
Each share of Series C Preferred Stock shall have dividend and liquidation rights in priority to any shares of Common Stock, the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock (of which none are outstanding) and any other subordinated securities; but shall be subordinated to any senior securities including the Company’s Series B Preferred Stock.
 
Each share of Series C Preferred Stock is subject to redemption by the Company for the stated value plus accrued but unpaid dividends five years after issuance, provided the holders of Series C Preferred Stock had not elected previously to convert the Series C Preferred Stock into shares of Common Stock.
 
Series D Preferred Stock
 
On June 2, 2017, pursuant to the terms of the Share Exchange Agreement, the Company acquired 1,603,434 shares of the issued and outstanding common stock of Microphase Common Stock in exchange for the issuance by the Company of 1,842,448 shares of the Company’s Common Stock and 378,776 shares of the Company’s Series D Preferred Stock, no par value per share, and warrants to purchase an aggregate of 1,000,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock.

In the event the Company shall liquidate, dissolve or wind up, the holders of Series D Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, prior and in preference to any distribution of any of the assets of the Company to the holders of the Common Stock, the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock, or to the holders of any other junior series of preferred stock, by reason of their ownership thereof and subject to the rights of the Company’s Series B Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock and any other class or series of Company stock subsequently issued that ranks senior to the Series D Preferred Stock, an amount per share in cash or equivalent value in securities or other consideration equal to its Stated Value of $0.01 per share.

The holders of Series D Preferred Stock shall not be entitled to receive dividends and shall have no voting rights except as otherwise required by law. Upon the shareholders of DPW Common Stock approving the conversion of the Series D Preferred Stock into shares of DPW Common Stock in connection with the acquisition of MPC Common Stock and for purposes of compliance with Rule 713 of the NYSE MKT, then each share of Series D Preferred Stock shall automatically be converted into two shares of DPW Common Stock, for an aggregate of 757,552 shares of DPW Common Stock.

Series E Preferred Stock

On June 2, 2017, pursuant to the terms of the Share Exchange Agreement and in consideration of legal services, Microphase issued a $450 8% promissory note with a maturity date of November 25, 2017 to an unsecured creditor, Lucosky Brookman, LLP (the “Lucosky Note”). In conjunction with the issuance of the Lucosky Note, the Company issued Lucosky Brookman 10,000 shares of Series E Preferred Stock, no par value per share, with a stated value equal to forty-five dollars ($45.00) per share. The Company, at its option, may redeem for cash, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, the shares of Series E Preferred Stock at the time outstanding, upon written notice to the holder of the shares, at a cash redemption price equal to $45 multiplied by the number of shares being redeemed. Any such optional redemption by the Company shall be credited against the Lucosky Note.
 
In the event the Company shall liquidate, dissolve or wind up, the holders of Series E Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, prior and in preference to any distribution of any of the assets of the Company to the holders of the DPW Common Stock, the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock, or to the holders of any other junior series of preferred stock, by reason of their ownership thereof and subject to the rights of the Company’s Series B Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock and any other class or series of Company stock subsequently issued that ranks senior to the Series E Preferred Stock an amount per share in cash or equivalent value in securities or other consideration equal to $0.01 per share. The holders of Series E Preferred Stock shall not be entitled to receive dividends and shall have no voting rights except as otherwise required by law. Subject to the shareholders of DPW Common Stock of the Company approving the conversion of the Series E Preferred Stock into shares of Common Stock in connection with the acquisition of MPC Common Stock and for purposes of compliance with Rule 713 of the NYSE MKT, then each share of Series E Preferred Stock may be converted into sixty (60) shares of DPW Common Stock, for an aggregate of 600,000 shares of DPW Common Stock.

The AVLP notes accrued interest at 12% per annum and were due on or before two years from the origination dates of each note. The Company had the right, at its option, to convert all or any portion of the principal and accrued interest into shares of common stock of AVLP at approximately $0.74536 per share. Subject to adjustment, the AVLP Notes, inclusive of the original issue discount, were convertible into 2,113,086 shares of the Company’s common stock.

In consideration of entering into the AVLP Loan Agreement, the Company and AVLP cancelled the AVLP Notes and consolidated the AVLP Notes and prior advances and issued a new Convertible Promissory Note in the aggregate principal amount of $3,474 (the “New Note”) that is convertible into shares of AVLP at a conversion price of $0.50 per share. The New Note is due in two years and accrues interest at 12% per annum on the principal amount. Prior interest accrued under the AVLP Notes and advances will continue to be an obligation of AVLP. The New Note contains standard events of defaults. In addition, concurrent to issuing the New Note, AVLP issued to the Company a five-year Warrant to purchase 6,948,800 shares of AVLP Common Stock at $0.50 per share.

Further, under the terms of the AVLP Loan Agreement, any notes issued by AVLP are secured by the assets of AVLP. (See Note 4).

ITEM 2.          MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
In this quarterly report, the “Company,” “Digital Power,” “we,” “us” and “our” refer to Digital Power Corporation, a California corporation, our wholly-owned subsidiaries, Coolisys Technologies, Inc., Power-Plus Technical Distributors, LLC, Digital Power Lending, LLC, Digital Power Limited and our majority owned subsidiary, Microphase Corporation.
 
GENERAL

We are a growth company seeking to increase our revenues through acquisitions.  Our strategy reflects our management and Board’s current philosophy that occurred as a result of a change in control completed in September 2016.  Our acquisition and development target strategy includes companies that have developed a “new way of doing business” in mature, well-developed industries experiencing changes due to new technology; companies that may become profitable or more profitable through efficiency and reduction of costs; companies that are related to our core business in the commercial and defense industries; and companies that will enhance our overall revenues.  It is our goal to substantially increase our gross revenues in the near future.

We were originally a solution-driven organization that designs, develops, manufactures and sells high-grade customized and flexible power system solutions for the medical, military, telecom and industrial markets.  Although we intend to seek growth through acquisitions, we will continue to focus on high-grade and custom product designs for the commercial, medical and military/defense markets, where customers demand high density, high efficiency and ruggedized products to meet the harshest and/or military mission critical operating conditions.

We have operations located in Europe through our wholly-owned subsidiary, Digital Power Limited ("DP Limited"), Salisbury, England, which operates under the brand name of “Gresham Power Electronics” (“Gresham”).  DP Limited designs, manufactures and sells power products and system solutions mainly for the European marketplace, including power conversion, power distribution equipment, DC/AC (Direct Current/Active Current) inverters and UPS (Uninterrupted Power Supply) products. Our European defense business is specialized in the field of naval power distribution products.

On November 30, 2016, Digital Power formed Digital Power Lending, LLC (“DP Lending”), a wholly-owned subsidiary. DP Lending is engaged in providing commercial loans to companies throughout the United States to provide them with operating capital to finance the growth of their businesses. The loans will primarily be short-term, ranging from six to twelve months.

On June 2, 2017, Digital Power purchased 56.4% of the outstanding equity interests of Microphase Corporation (the “Microphase”). Microphase is a design-to-manufacture original equipment manufacturer (“OEM”) industry leader delivering world-class radio frequency (“RF”) and microwave filters, diplexers, multiplexers, detectors, switch filters, integrated assemblies and detector logarithmic video amplifiers (“DLVA”) to the military, aerospace and telecommunications industries. Microphase is headquartered in Shelton, Connecticut.

On April 25, 2017, Digital Power formed Coolisys Technologies, Inc. (“Coolisys”), a wholly-owned subsidiary. The Company intends to operate its existing businesses in the customized and flexible power system solutions for the medical, military, telecom and industrial markets, other than the European markets which are primarily served by DP Limited, in Coolisys.

Further, on September 1, 2017, Coolisys acquired all of the outstanding membership interests in Power-Plus Technical Distributors, LLC, a California limited liability company (“Power-Plus”). Power-Plus is an industrial distributor of value added power supply solutions, UPS systems, fans, filters, line cords, and other power-related components. In addition to its current business, Power-Plus will serve as an extended sales organization for the Company’s overall flexible power system solutions.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2017 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2016
 
Revenues
 
Our revenues increased by $1,394 or 76% to $3,220 for the three months ended September 30, 2017, from $1,826 for the three months ended September 30, 2016. The increase in revenue was primarily due to our acquisition of 56.4% of the outstanding equity interests of Microphase on June 2, 2017, combined with our acquisition of all of the outstanding equity interests of Power-Plus on September 1, 2017. Revenues generated by Microphase and Power-Plus during the three months ended September 30, 2017, were $1,340 and $224, respectively. Excluding revenues that were generated by our recent acquisitions of Microphase and Power-Plus, the Company generated revenues of $1,656, a decrease of $170 from the three months ended September 30, 2016.

Revenues from our U.S. operations increased by 130.5% to $2,877 for the three months ended September 30, 2017, from $1,248 for the three months ended September 30, 2016. As previously noted, our consolidated revenues include $1,564 in revenues generated from our recent acquisitions of Microphase and Power-Plus. If we had not closed on these acquisition, then revenues from our U.S. operations would have been $1,313, an increase of 5.2%. The increase in revenues from our U.S. operations is attributed to the recognition of $109 in revenue from the MLSE $50 million purchase order contract which was offset by a slight decrease in sales of our legacy products. The recognition of revenue from the MLSE contract during the three months ended September 30, 2017, represents the first revenues recognized from this contract, which is expected to extend over several years.

Revenues from our European operation in Gresham, U.K. (“DP Limited”) decreased by $235 to $343 for the three months ended September 30, 2017, from $578 for the three months ended September 30, 2016, a decrease of 40.7%. The decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease of military and commercial products sales and the impact of a weakening of the British Pound and Euro against the USD. The decline in commercial product sales was mainly attributed to standard commodity products. The decline in military product sales was attributed to technical changes in the design of one of our development contracts.

Gross Margins
 
Gross margins decreased to 34.0% for the three months September 30, 2017 compared to 38.5% for the three months ended September 30, 2016. The decrease in gross margins was mainly attributable to the decrease in sales from our European operations combined with slightly lower margins of 34.5% generated by our Microphase and Power-Plus subsidiaries. As the Company integrates its recent acquisitions of Microphase and Power-Plus, it expects that gross margins from its U.S. based operations will be fairly consistent among the three companies.
 
Engineering and Product Development
 
Engineering and product development expenses increased by $159 to $306 for the three months ended September 30, 2017 from $147 for the three months ended September 30, 2016. The increase is partly attributed to our acquisition of Microphase, which reported $118 in engineering and product development expenses. The remaining increase was primarily related to an increase in direct manpower cost from the addition of a new Head of Engineering and Technology, a highly-compensated position that was created during the fourth quarter of 2016.
 

44

 
Selling and Marketing
 
Selling and marketing expenses were $423 for the three months ended September 30, 2017 compared to $235 for the three months ended September 30, 2016, an increase of $188. Our acquisition of Microphase and Power-Plus accounted for $46 and $55, respectively, of the increase in selling and marketing expenses. The remaining increase is attributed to an increase in personnel costs directly attributed to sales and marketing personnel at the Company’s U.S. based operations. Beginning in December 2016 and throughout the quarter ended March 31, 2017, we augmented our sales and marketing team with the addition of a Vice President of Business Development and two regional sales managers. During the three months ended September 30, 2016, the services of our current Chief Executive Officer were reported within selling and marketing expenses due to the significant amount of time in which he devoted to the sales process. The increase in the headcount of our sales and marketing team allowed our CEO to spend the majority of his time on general corporate matters related to our restructuring and expansion. As such, during the three months ended September 30, 2017, the salary of our Chief Executive officer, which is $300 per year, or $75 per quarter, was reported within general and administrative expenses. The increase in selling and marketing expenses is attributed to the increase in salaries and benefits and travel related costs for the three new sales and marketing positions and partially offset by the allocation of our Chief Executive Officer’s salary to general and administrative expense.

General and Administrative
 
General and administrative expenses were $1,685 for the three months ended September 30, 2017 compared to $404 for the three months ended September 30, 2016, an increase of $1,281. Our acquisition of Microphase accounted for $410 of the increase in general and administrative expenses. The adjusted increase of $871 from the comparative prior period was mainly due to higher stock based compensation expenses, an increase in legal and audit costs, an increase in investor relationship costs and hiring of additional consultants to build an infrastructure in anticipation of our future growth and the allocation of our Chief Executive Officer’s salary to general and administrative expense. The remaining increase in general and administrative expenses is due to various costs, none of which are significant individually.
 
·
In aggregate, we incurred $517 of stock-based compensation during the three months ended September 30, 2017. Of this amount, $365 was from issuances of equity based awards pursuant to our Plans and $152 was from stock, options and warrants which were issued outside the Plans. It has been our policy to allocate the majority of stock based compensation to general and administrative expense. During the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2017, and inclusive of equity based awards issued outside the Plans, we recorded $35 and $311, respectively, of stock-based compensation in general and administrative expense.
 
·
We experienced an aggregate increase of $168 in audit and legal fees due to an overall increase in the operations conducted and the level of complexity and significant number of the transactions entered into during the three months ended September 30, 2017.
 
·
Beginning during the quarter ended December 31, 2016, we spent significant effort on expanding our investor base and on hiring additional consultants to assist building an infrastructure to support our anticipated growth. As a result, we experienced an increase of $220 in costs attributed to investor relations and other consulting fees.
 
·
Finally, during the three months ended September 30, 2016, our Chief Executive Officer’s salary was reflected in selling and marketing expenses. As discussed above, our current practice is to record the salary and benefits of our Chief Executive Officer to general and administrative expense.
 
Interest (expense) income, net
 
Interest expense, net was $753 for the three months ended September 30, 2017 compared to income of $23 for the three months ended September 30, 2016. The increase in interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2017 is primarily related to debt discount, in the aggregate amount of $669, resulting from the issuance of warrants in conjunction with the sale of debt and equity instruments of $3,452. During the three months ended September 30, 2017, as a result of these issuances, non-cash interest expense of $669 was recorded from the amortization of debt discount and debt financing costs. The remaining increase in interest expense, net, was due to an increase in the amount of the Company’s total borrowings. At September 30, 2017, the outstanding balance of the Company’s convertible notes payable and notes payable was $3,458. Conversely, at September 30, 2016, the Company did not have any outstanding convertible notes payable or notes payable. Interest expense was partially offset by interest income and the accretion of original issue discount pursuant to the Loan and Security Agreement entered into on September 6, 2017, between the Company and AVLP (“AVLP Loan Agreement”of $141.
 

45

 
Operating Loss

         The Company recorded an operating loss of $1,318 for the three months ended September 30, 2017 compared to an operating loss of $83 for the three months ended September 30, 2016. The increase in operating loss is mostly attributable from the increase of general and administrative expenses.

Net Loss

          The Company recorded a net loss of $2,071 for the three months ended September 30, 2017 compared to a net loss of $38 for the three months ended September 30, 2016 as a result of the aforementioned changes. After taking into consideration the loss attributable to the non-controlling interest of the minority shareholders of Microphase, the net loss attributable to the Company was $1,967 and 38 respectively.

NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2017 COMPARED TO NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2016
 
Revenues
 
Our revenues increased by $1,067 or 19% to $6,670 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, from $5,603 for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The increase in revenue was primarily due to our acquisition of 56.4% of the outstanding equity interests of Microphase on June 2, 2017, combined with our acquisition of all of the outstanding equity interests of Power-Plus on September 1, 2017. Revenues generated by Microphase and Power-Plus during the nine months ended September 30, 2017, were $1,563 and $224, respectively. Excluding revenues that were generated by our recent acquisitions of Microphase and Power-Plus, the Company generated revenues of $4,883. As discussed below, the decrease of $720 from the nine months ended September 30, 2016, was primarily due to a decrease in revenues from our European operations.
 
Revenues from our U.S. operations increased by $1,798, or 52.8%, to $5,206 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, from $3,408 for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. As previously noted, our consolidated revenues include $1,787 in revenues generated from our recent acquisitions of Microphase and Power-Plus. If we had not closed on these acquisition, then revenues from our U.S. operations would have been $3,419, an increase of 0.3%. The increase in revenues from our U.S. operations is attributed to the recognition of $109 in revenue from the MLSE $50 million purchase order contract which was offset by a slight decrease in sales of our legacy products.

Revenues from our European operation in Gresham, U.K. (“DP Limited”) decreased by $731 to $1,464 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, from $2,195 for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, a decrease of 33.3%. The decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease of military and commercial products sales and the impact of a weakening of the British Pound and Euro against the USD. The decline in commercial product sales was mainly attributed to standard commodity products. The decline in military product sales was attributed to technical changes in the design of one of our development contracts.

Gross Margins
 
Gross margins increased to 38.0% for the nine months September 30, 2017 compared to 37.1% for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The increase in gross margins was mainly attributable to the increase in sales of our commercial products sold in our U.S. operations, which have greater gross margins, combined with the decrease in sales from our European operations.
 
46

 
Engineering and Product Development
 
Engineering and product development expenses increased by $287 to $798 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 from $511 for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The increase is partly attributed to our acquisition of Microphase, which reported $173 in engineering and product development expenses. The remaining increase is attributed to a $95 increase in personnel costs directly attributed to engineering and product development at Digital Power’s U.S. based operations. During the fourth quarter of 2016, as part of its growth plan, Digital Power hired a new Head of Engineering and Technology, a highly-compensated position.

Selling and Marketing
 
Selling and marketing expenses were $1,045 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to $723 for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, an increase of $322. Our acquisition of Microphase and Power-Plus accounted for $55 and $65, respectively, of the increase in selling and marketing expenses. The remaining increase is attributed to an increase in personnel costs directly attributed to sales and marketing personnel at Digital Power’s U.S. based operations. Beginning in December 2016 and throughout the quarter ended March 31, 2017, we augmented our sales and marketing team with the addition of a Vice President of Business Development and two regional sales managers.

General and administrative expenses were $4,240 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to $1,115 for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, an increase of $3,125. Our acquisition of Microphase accounted for $577 of the increase in general and administrative expenses. The adjusted increase of $2,548 from the comparative prior period was mainly due to higher stock based compensation expenses, an increase in legal and audit costs, an increase in investor relationship costs and hiring of additional consultants to build an infrastructure in anticipation of our future growth and the allocation of our Chief Executive Officer’s salary to general and administrative expense. The remaining increase in general and administrative expenses is due to various costs, none of which are significant individually.

Operating Loss

         The Company recorded an operating loss of $3,549 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to an operating loss of $272 for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The increase in operating loss is mostly attributable from the increase of general and administrative expenses.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
 
On September 30, 2017, we had cash and cash equivalents of $314. This compares with cash and cash equivalents of $996 at December 31, 2016. The decrease in cash and cash equivalents was primarily due to cash used in operating and investing activities in excess of funds provided by financing activities.
 
               Net cash used in operating activities totaled $1,577 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $138 for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the decrease in net cash provided by operating activities compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2016 was mainly due to the September 30, 2017 nine months loss of $4,916. The net loss was partially offset by non-cash charges, the amortization of debt discount of $1,239 and stock-based compensation of $1,269, an increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $2,083 and decreases in our accounts receivable of $737 and other current liabilities of $595.
       
           Net cash used in investing activities was $4,384 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to $12 of net cash provided by investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The increase of the net usage of cash from investing activities was primarily related to the investment in AVLP, loans to third parties and the purchase of Power-Plus.

Net cash provided by financing activities was $5,194 and nil for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The financing activities related to the sale of 1,309,545 shares of common stock for net proceeds of $672, the sale of Series B and Series C Preferred Stock of $1,540, gross proceeds from the Company’s debt financings of $2,649, gross proceeds from advances of future receipts of $1,772 and payments on debt facilities of $626.

The conversion price of the Convertible Notes is subject to adjustment for customary stock splits, stock dividends, combinations or similar events.
 
We expect to continue to incur losses for the foreseeable future and will be required to raise additional capital to continue to support our working capital requirements. We believe that the MLSE purchase order contract of $50 million will contribute to generate meaningful revenue and corresponding cash in 2017. In addition, we have been successful over the last 12 months in raising capital to support our working capital requirements. We anticipate that we will continue to raise capital through public and private equity offerings, debt financings, or other means. If we are unable to secure additional capital, we may be required to curtail our current operations and take additional measures to reduce costs expenses, including reducing our workforce, eliminating outside consultants, ceasing or reducing our due diligence of potential future acquisitions, including the associated legal fees, in order to conserve cash in order to sustain operations and meet our obligations.

Based on the above, these matters raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

  CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

In our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016, we identified the critical accounting policies which affect our more significant estimates and assumptions used in preparing our consolidated financial statements.  The basis for developing the estimates and assumptions within our critical accounting policies is based on historical information and known current trends and factors.  The estimates and assumptions are evaluated on an ongoing basis and actual results have been within our expectations.  We have not changed these policies from those previously disclosed in our Annual Report.

ITEM 4.
CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
 
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
 
We have established disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms and is accumulated and communicated to management, including the principal executive officer and principal financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, with the assistance of other members of the Company's management, have evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report and has determined that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of June 30, 2017 due to certain material weaknesses as described herein.
 
A material weakness is a control deficiency (within the meaning of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) Auditing Standard No. 2) or combination of control deficiencies that result in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected. Management has identified the following two material weaknesses:
 
(i)
a lack of sufficient internal accounting resources to provide reasonable assurance that information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure and

(ii)
a lack of segregation of duties to ensure adequate review of financial statement preparation.

Planned Remediation

Management, in coordination with the input, oversight and support of our Board of Directors, has identified the measures below to strengthen our control environment and internal control over financial reporting.
 

51

 
Until such time as we hire a new Chief Financial Officer, the Chairman of the Audit Committee shall perform the following:

·
assists with documentation and implementation of policies and procedures and monitoring of controls,
·
reviews all anticipated transactions that are not considered in the ordinary course of business to assist in the early identification of accounting issues and ensure that appropriate disclosures are made in the Company’s financial statements.
 
We are currently working to improve and simplify our internal processes and implement enhanced controls, as discussed above, to address the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting and to remedy the ineffectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures.

Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting.

During the most recent fiscal quarter 2017 there were no significant changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.

ITEM 1A.
RISK FACTORS

The risks described in Part I, Item 1A, "Risk Factors," in our 2016 Form 10-K, could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations, and the trading price of our common stock could decline. These risk factors do not identify all risks that we face - our operations could also be affected by factors that are not presently known to us or that we currently consider to be immaterial to our operations. Due to risks and uncertainties, known and unknown, our past financial results may not be a reliable indicator of future performance and historical trends should not be used to anticipate results or trends in future periods. The Risk Factors section of our 2016 Annual Report on Form 10-K remains current in all material respects except that we identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting and in our disclosure controls and procedures.

If We Fail to Establish and Maintain an Effective System of Internal Control, We May Not Be Able to Report Our Financial Results Accurately or Prevent Fraud. Any Inability to Report and File Our Financial Results Accurately and Timely Could Harm Our Reputation and Adversely Impact the Trading Price of Our Common Stock.
 
Effective internal control is necessary for us to provide reliable financial reports and prevent fraud. If we cannot provide reliable financial reports or prevent fraud, we may not be able to manage our business as effectively as we would if an effective control environment existed, and our business and reputation with investors may be harmed. As a result, our small size and any current internal control deficiencies may adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations and access to capital. We have also experienced complications reporting as a result of material weaknesses which resulted in the restatement of our Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2017, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on August 21, 2017, and amended on November 14, 2017. We have carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the most recent period covered by this report. Based on the foregoing, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at the reasonable assurance level due to the material weaknesses described below.
 
52

 
A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, within the meaning of Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”) Audit Standard No. 5, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Management has identified the following material weaknesses which have caused management to conclude that as of June 30, 2017 our internal controls over financial reporting (“ICFR”) were not effective at the reasonable assurance level:
 
1.
We do not have sufficient resources in our accounting function, which restricts our ability to gather, analyze and properly review information related to financial reporting in a timely manner. In addition, due to our size and nature, segregation of all conflicting duties may not always be possible and may not be economically feasible. However, to the extent possible, the initiation of transactions, the custody of assets and the recording of transactions should be performed by separate individuals. Management evaluated the impact of our failure to have segregation of duties during our assessment of our disclosure controls and procedures and concluded that the control deficiency that resulted represented a material weakness.
 
2.
We have inadequate controls to ensure that information necessary to properly record transactions is adequately communicated on a timely basis from non-financial personnel to those responsible for financial reporting. Management evaluated the impact of the lack of timely communication between non–financial and financial personnel on our assessment of our reporting controls and procedures and has concluded that the control deficiency represented a material weakness.
 
We have taken steps to remediate some of the weaknesses described above, including a greater level of involvement by our Audit Committee. We intend to continue to address these weaknesses as resources permit.
 
ITEM 2.
UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS
