Special Note on Forward-Looking Statements

 

Certain statements in Management's Discussion and Analysis ("MD&A"), other than purely historical information, including estimates, projections, statements relating to our business plans, objectives and expected operating results, and the assumptions upon which those statements are based, are "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. These forward-looking statements generally are identified by the words "believe," "will," "would," "will be," "will continue," "will likely result," and similar expressions. Forward-looking statements are based on current expectations and assumptions that are subject to risks and uncertainties which may cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements. These statements are subject to a number of risks, uncertainties and developments beyond our control or foresight including changes in the trends of the mobile computing industry, formation of competitors, changes in governmental regulation or taxation, changes in our personnel and other such factors.  We undertake no obligation to update or revise publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.  Readers should carefully review the risk factors and related notes included under Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 3, 2009.

 

Overview

 

The following MD&A is intended to help the reader understand the results of operations, financial condition, and cash flows of MacroSolve, Inc. MD&A is provided as a supplement to, and should be read in conjunction with, our financial statements and the accompanying notes to the financial statements ("Notes").

 

Background

 

We are a technology and services company that develops mobile solutions for businesses. A mobile solution is typically the combination of mobile handheld devices, wireless connectivity and software that streamlines business operations resulting in improved efficiencies and cost savings. We are development and marketing partners with the major mobile device manufacturers, wireless carriers and many software providers.

 

Our customers rely on us to define, design, develop and support the best combination of technologies in a market that is very dynamic. We assist software and web-based application companies by modifying their software product offerings so that they can be used by a mobile end-user who typically has a Smartphone or a similar cellular device. Many of these customers rely on our technology and marketing expertise. We also serve enterprises that find it difficult to identify a mobile software product which addresses their specific need to streamline operational processes, and do not have the competency in house. Our technology and services capabilities generate a growing base of contract and annuity based revenue. We have one mobile software product, ReForm™, which helps to minimize mobile application development effort. This product is currently being upgraded and has yet to contribute significant revenues to MacroSolve.

 

Plan of Operation and Financing Needs

 

Since December 31, 2008, the Company has raised $120,123 in equity through the exercise of options and warrants by existing shareholders and employees. The Company has also raised additional equity of $450,000 during the first quarter of 2009, through the sale of restricted stock in a Private Placement Offering and an additional $150,000 since March 31, 2009. The equity raised, together with funds available through our line of credit with a financial institution and cash generated from current operations, are expected to provide adequate capital to fund the Company’s operations.

 

The Company does lack growth capital and anticipates that approximately $5 million in additional investment capital will be required within the next three (3) years to execute our growth strategy.  We are presently investigating various financing alternatives including equity and/or debt financing.  It is the Company’s intention to raise additional equity in 2009 to support it growth requirements. There is no assurance that capital in


any form will be available to us and, if available, on terms and conditions that are acceptable.  If we are unable to obtain sufficient funds, we may not be able to implement our growth strategy.

 

Positioned as an experienced provider of mobile solutions, we will continue to market our products and services to enterprises seeking business process operational efficiencies while also marketing our expertise and relationships to technology companies who wish to apply mobile solutions to enhance their current software products.  We will take advantage of our long standing relationships with wireless carriers, mobile hardware manufacturers and related applications companies and jointly market to each customer segment.  Within these customer engagements we seek longer term projects with promising passive revenues including license fees, revenue share arrangements and equity participations.

 

Our near term focus will be on the expansion of marketing and sales efforts which will increase the number of revenue streams, especially those with more passive recurring revenue including license fees and revenue share arrangements.   We completed the development of a new version of ReForm in December 2008.  The Company’s digiTicket™ product, a mobile electronic law enforcement citation solution, began its beta testing phase late in the first quarter of 2009 with the commitment of its pilot customer, the Sand Springs Police Department. Significant marketing efforts for this product are underway in the second quarter of 2009. digiTicket™ is expected to contribute as much as 53% of the 2009 annual revenues. Our mobile video platform project will position us to compete in mobile solutions which require video.  Growth in these and other areas will require more geographical sales resource coverage with modest plans to expand within Oklahoma and the Midwest in the near term.  Finally, we will augment our joint marketing arrangements with other mobile industry technology leaders and utilize more efficient and effective Web-based methods for attracting customers and streamlining the sales process.

 

We continuously monitor industry trends and adjust projections about the direction of the business in anticipation of the continuous change in client requirements as the mobile industry evolves.  We believe that our current direction is one that will bring profits, however our ability to drive sales volume is limited without additional capital.  There is no expected purchase or sale of capitalized assets, significant equipment or intellectual property in the next twelve (12) months.

 

Results of Operations

 

Quarter Ended March 31, 2009 compared to Quarter Ended March 31, 2008 (all references are to the Quarter Ended March 31)

 

Total Net Sales: Total Net Sales decreased $723,000 or 67% to $361,000 in the first quarter ended March 31, 2009 from $1,084,000 for the same period in 2008. Sources of revenue were derived from our services business, hardware sales and software licensing. Services revenue represented the majority of Total Net Sales, with a decrease of $728,000 for the first quarter of 2009 to $328,000 from $1,056,000 in the first quarter of 2008. This was primarily due to a reduction in work under contract in the first quarter of 2009. Hardware sales to third parties and in support of our services activities for the first quarter of 2009 were $25,000, up $7,000 or 39% from $18,000 in 2008. Software licensing sales decreased $2,000 or 29% for the period to $7,000 from $9,000 for the same period in 2008. The Company’s ReFormXT™ software product became available in final form in December 2008. ReFormXT™ and its predecessor versions have contributed less than five percent of annual revenues since initial inception.

 

Cost of Sales and Gross Profit: Cost of Sales for the first quarter of 2009 decreased $509,000 or 73%, in line with the lower level of revenues from $697,000 in 2008 to $188,000 in 2009. The majority of this decrease was associated with workforce reductions and reassignments of resources to product development. The resultant Gross Profit for the first quarter of 2009 of $173,000 was down $214,000 or 55% under the Gross Profit for the same period in 2008 of $387,000. Profit margin was up for the quarter from 36% in 2008 to 48% in 2009 primarily due to subcontractor pass-thru revenue in the prior year.

 

Operating, Selling, General and Administrative Expenses: Operating, selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $39,000, or 8% in the first quarter of 2009 to $548,000 from $509,000 in 2008. This increase reflects $48,000 in amortization expense on the ReFormXT™ product which was still in development in 2008 offset by a $12,000 reduction in commission expense in 2009 corresponding to the reduction in net sales.

 


Loss from Operations:  Loss from operations for the first quarter of 2009 was $375,000, an increase of $252,000 or 205% from the loss from operations in 2008 of $123,000 as a result of the aforementioned decrease in gross profit and increase in operating, sales and marketing expenses.

 

Other Income and Expense:  Total other expense of $28,000 in 2009 represented an increase of 87% or $13,000 from $15,000 in 2008 as a result of higher stock based compensation related to the salary differential incentive options granted in the first quarter of 2009 to employees and related to first quarter 2009 board of director compensation paid in restricted stock.

 

Net Loss:  Net loss of $403,000 for the first quarter of 2009 was $265,000 or 192% higher than the net loss of $138,000 for the same period in 2008 as the higher operating, sales and marketing expenses, amortization expense and stock based compensation combined with the decrease in gross profit associated with the lower revenue achieved in the period.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

We finance our operations primarily through internally generated funds, a bank line of credit and investments of equity by qualified investors or placement of debt with qualified lenders. 

 

In the first quarter of 2009, the Company raised an additional $120,123 in equity through the exercise of options and warrants by existing shareholders and employees. The Company also raised an additional $450,000 during the first quarter of 2009 in equity though sale of restricted stock in a Private Placement Offering and an additional $150,000 subsequent to the first quarter. The Private Placement Offering will remain open until July 12, 2009 or until five million dollars in total has been raised. To date, two million dollars has been closed under the offering.

 

The Company renewed its $300,000 line of credit with a financial institution for an additional three months to April 30, 2009 and anticipates renewing the line under similar terms and conditions through the end of 2009. The line of credit primarily supports customer invoices in accounts receivable and is limited to 80% of eligible invoices. At March 31, 2009 there was no remaining available liquidity on this line due to the borrowing base calculation.

 

As of March 31, 2009, we had cash and cash equivalents of $129,590. This liquidity, together with funds available through credit facilities with a financial institution, funds raised under the private placement offering and cash generated from current operations, are expected to provide adequate capital to fund the Company’s operations.

Operating Activities

Net cash used in operating activities for the Three Months ended March 31, 2009 was $326,000, an increase of $423,000 from the same period in 2008 reflecting the higher net operating loss for the first quarter of 2009 and the amortization of ReFormXT™.

 

Investing Activities

Cash used in investing activities for the Three Months ended March 31, 2009 was $124,000, up $64,000 from the same period in 2008 represented principally in both periods by costs associated with the development of the Company’s new product lines, including digiTicket™, and a prototype community website which will serve as a mobility community of interest network for businesses with modest or no I.T. staff and provide a platform to promote our customer’s products and those of the Company.

 

Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities for the Three Months ended March 31, 2009 was $478,000 as compared with $917,000 for the same period last year, a decrease of $439,000. This is primarily related to the investor bridge loans of $950,000 in the first quarter of 2008 offset by the $409,000 difference in additional equity raised from the exercise of warrants and options and private placement offering in the first quarter of 2009 over the same quarter in 2008.

 

The Company suspended $12,500 per month repayment of its note with the State of Oklahoma Technology Business Finance Program in October 2008. The repayments will commence when the Company has raised sufficient additional equity through sale of its stock to private investors to fund its growth requirements.

 

As of March 31, 2009, the Company had cash and cash equivalents in the amount of $129,950 as compared with $979,724 at March 31, 2008.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

Accounts Receivable and Credit Policies:

 

Trade accounts receivable consist of amounts due from the sale of solution services, software and hardware.  Accounts receivable are uncollateralized customer obligations due under normal trade terms requiring payment within 30 days of receipt of the invoice.  The Company provides an allowance for doubtful accounts equal to the estimated uncollectible amounts based on historical collection experience and a review of the current status of trade accounts receivable.  In many instances, customers make a substantial prepayment for services before rendered; therefore the Company is extending trade terms to customers who have already proven to be credit worthy. The Company has not taken any direct write offs of bad debts in the past five years.

 

At the quarter ending March 31, 2009 and at fiscal year ending December 31, 2008, the Company deems all amounts recorded as collectible and, thus has not provided an allowance for uncollectible amounts.

 

Revenue Recognition and Unearned Revenue:

 

Revenue generated from the provision of services is recognized at the time the service is provided.  On service contracts which specify hourly rates plus costs, revenue is recognized based upon hours worked at the specified hourly rate. On service contracts which are fixed price based upon a Statement of Work, revenue is recognized on the Percentage Completion method with updated estimates monthly of the project’s percentage complete. Margins may be affected, both positively and negatively, during the duration of the project as efficiencies either increase or decrease or as direct costs of doing business change. Sales of hardware are recognized upon delivery to the customer.   Revenue from the licensing of software is recognized ratably over the license period.

 

Customarily on service contracts related to projects expected to take longer than one month to complete, the customer prepays one-third to one-half of the total estimated project in advance. The prepayment is recorded as Unearned Revenue and is subsequently adjusted at the end of each month based upon actual hours worked or percentage of project completion, as the case may be. If work is performed during the month which is not yet invoiceable to the customer under the terms of the agreement, a proforma entry is made to record the revenue in the proper accounting period.

 


Software Development Costs:

 

The Company accounts for software development costs in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 86, “Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to be Sold, Leased, or Otherwise Marketed”.  Costs incurred prior to the establishment of technological feasibility are expensed as incurred as research and development costs.  Costs incurred after establishing technological feasibility and before the product is released for sale to customers are capitalized.  Additions to capitalized costs are recorded monthly based upon the actual hours worked at the developers’ hourly cost, including salary, direct employment benefits and direct overhead.

 

Once the software is deemed to be commercially available, these capitalized costs are amortized over three years and are reviewed for impairment at each period end. If management determines that projected revenue from the capitalized software costs are less than the net book value of the software, the capitalized software asset is written down per generally accepted accounting principles. No capitalized software costs are considered impaired at March 31, 2009.

 

Long-Lived Assets:

 

The Company accounts for long-lived assets in accordance with the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-lived assets. This Statement requires that long-lived assets be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. No impairment charges were incurred during the periods ended March 31, 2009 and 2008.

 

Stock-Based Compensation:

 

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment, which is a revision of SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. SFAS 123(R) requires companies to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments, including stock options, based on the grant-date fair value of the award and to recognize it as compensation expense over the period the employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award, usually the vesting period.

 

The Company uses the Black-Sholes model for determining the value of the options. One of the factors required to compute the options price is volatility of the stock price. The Company’s own stock commenced public trading in August, 2008; however due to initially thin trading activity, management determined that the technology sector fund XLK and it’s standard deviation would continue to be used to provide the volatility factor required to compute the option value.

 

Effect of Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141R, Business Combinations, which replaces SFAS No. 141. SFAS No. 141R retains the purchase method of accounting for acquisitions, but requires a number of changes, including changes in the recognition of assets and liabilities purchase accounting. It also changes the recognition of assets acquired and liabilities assumed arising from contingencies, requires the capitalization of in-process research and development at fair value, and requires the expensing of acquisition-related costs as incurred. SFAS No. 141R is effective for us beginning January 1, 2009 and will apply prospectively to business combinations completed on or after that date. The Company has adopted this standard and there has been no effect on its financial statements.

 

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 does not require any new fair value measurements, but provides guidance on how to measure fair value by providing a fair value hierarchy used to classify the source of the information. The Company adopted this new standard effective January 1, 2008. The Company has evaluated the effect of this pronouncement and determined that the adoption of this interpretation did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

 

From time to time we may be a defendant and plaintiff in various legal proceedings arising in the normal course of our business.
