CREXENDO, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)

 

1. Significant Accounting Policies

 

Description of Business – Crexendo, Inc. is incorporated in the state of Nevada. As used hereafter in the notes to consolidated financial statements, we refer to Crexendo, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries, as “we,” “us,” or “our Company.” Crexendo, Inc. is an award-winning premier provider of Unified Communications as a Service (UCaaS), Call Center as a Service (CCaaS), communication platform software solutions, and collaboration services designed to provide enterprise-class cloud communication solutions to any size business through our business partners, agents, and direct channels. Our solutions currently support over two Million end users globally and was recently recognized as the fastest growing UCaaS platform in the United States. Following the merger with NetSapiens, the Company has reorganized with two operating segments, which consist of cloud telecommunications services and software solutions.

 

Basis of Presentation – The consolidated financial statements include the accounts and operations of Crexendo, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries, which include Crexendo Business Solutions, Inc., Crexendo International, Inc., Centric Telecom, Inc., NetSapiens, LLC, NSHC, Inc., NetSapiens Canada, Inc., and NetSapiens International Limited. The Company’s consolidated financial statements include the results of operations of NetSapiens, LLC. from the date of acquisition. All intercompany account balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“US GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). These consolidated financial statements reflect the results of operations, financial position, changes in stockholders’ equity, and cash flows of our Company.

 

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified for consistency with the current period presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on the reported results of operations.

 

Foreign Currency Translation - The functional currency of our international subsidiaries is the local currency. We translate assets and liabilities of foreign subsidiaries, whose functional currency is their local currency, at exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date. We translate revenue and expenses at the monthly average exchange rates. We include accumulated net translation adjustments in stockholders’ equity as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).

 

Due to changes in exchange rates between reporting periods and changes in certain account balances, the foreign currency translation adjustment will change from period to period. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, we recorded foreign currency translation gains/(losses) of $1,000, and $9,000, respectively, in our statements of comprehensive income (loss).

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents – We consider all highly liquid, short-term investments with maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents. As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, we had cash and cash equivalents in financial institutions in excess of federally insured limits in the amount of $6,742,000 and $17,175,000, respectively.

 

Restricted CashWe classified $0 and $100,000 as restricted cash as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, our restricted cash requirement was waived and we released $100,000 into cash and cash equivalents. Cash was restricted for compensating balance requirements on purchasing card agreements. As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, we had restricted cash in financial institutions in excess of federally insured limits in the amount of $0 and $100,000, respectively.

 

The following table provides a reconciliation of cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash reported on the balance sheet to the cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash shown in the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows (in thousands):

Table of Contents

 

Trade Receivables – Trade receivables from our cloud telecommunications services and software solutions segments are recorded at invoiced amounts.

 

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts – The allowance represents estimated losses resulting from customers’ failure to make required payments. The allowance estimate is based on historical collection experience, specific identification of probable bad debts based on collection efforts, aging of trade receivables, customer payment history, and other known factors, including current economic conditions. We believe that the allowance for doubtful accounts is adequate based on our assessment to date, however, actual collection results may differ materially from our expectations.

 

Contract Assets – Contract assets primarily relate to the Company’s rights to consideration for work completed but not billed as of the reporting date. The contract assets are transferred to receivables when the rights become unconditional.

 

Contract Costs – Contract costs primarily relate to incremental commission costs paid to sales representatives and sales leadership as a result of obtaining telecommunications contracts which are recoverable. The Company capitalized contract costs in the amount of $1,215,000 and $970,000 at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. Capitalized commission costs are amortized based on the transfer of goods or services to which the assets relate which typically range from thirty-six to sixty months, and are included in selling and marketing expenses. During the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company amortized $201,000 and $123,000, respectively, and there was no impairment loss in relation to the costs capitalized. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company amortized $444,000 and $368,000 respectively, and there was no impairment loss in relation to the costs capitalized.

 

Inventory – Finished goods telecommunications equipment inventory is stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value (first-in, first-out method). In accordance with applicable accounting guidance, we regularly evaluate whether inventory is stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. If net realizable value is less than cost, the write-down is recognized as a loss in earnings in the period in which the excess occurs.

 

Property and Equipment – Depreciation and amortization expense is computed using the straight-line method in amounts sufficient to allocate the cost of depreciable assets over their estimated useful lives ranging from two to thirty-nine years. The cost of leasehold improvements is amortized using the straight-line method over the shorter of the estimated useful life of the asset or the term of the related lease. Land is not depreciable. Depreciable lives by asset group are as follows:

 

Building

39 years

Computer and office equipment

2 to 5 years

Computer software

3 years

Internal-use software

3 years

Vehicles

5 years

Leasehold improvements

2 to 5 years

 

Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. The cost and accumulated depreciation of property and equipment sold or otherwise retired are removed from the accounts and any related gain or loss on disposition is reflected in the statement of operations.

 

Asset Acquisitions – Periodically we acquire customer relationships that we account for as an asset acquisition and record a corresponding intangible asset that is amortized over its estimated useful life. Any excess of the fair value of the purchase price over the fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities is allocated on a relative fair value basis. No goodwill is recorded in an asset acquisition. If the fair value of the assets acquired exceeds the initial consideration paid as of the date of acquisition but includes a contingent consideration arrangement and ASC 450 and ASC 815 do not apply to contingent consideration, we analogize to the guidance in ASC 323 on recognizing contingent consideration in the acquisition of an equity method investment. The Company recognizes a liability equal to the lesser of, the maximum amount of contingent consideration or the excess of the fair value of the net assets acquired over the initial cost measurement. In accordance with the requirements of ASC 323 for equity method investments, the Company recognizes any excess of the contingent consideration issued or issuable, over the amount that was initially recognized as a liability, as an additional cost of the asset acquisition. If the amount initially recognized as a liability exceeds the contingent consideration issued or issuable, the entity recognizes that amount as a reduction of the cost of the asset acquisition.

Business Acquisitions - We account for business combinations using the acquisition method of accounting. The acquisition method of accounting requires that the purchase price, including the fair value of contingent consideration, of the acquisition be allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed using the fair values determined by management as of the acquisition date. Goodwill as of the acquisition date is measured as the excess of consideration transferred over the net of the acquisition date fair values of assets acquired and the liabilities assumed. While the Company uses its best estimates and assumptions as part of the purchase price allocation process to accurately value assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date, the Company’s estimates are inherently uncertain and subject to refinement. As a result, during the measurement period, which may be up to one year from the acquisition date, the Company records adjustments to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, with the corresponding offset to goodwill to the extent the Company identifies adjustments to the preliminary purchase price allocation. Upon the conclusion of the measurement period or final determination of the values of assets acquired or liabilities assumed, whichever comes first, any subsequent adjustments are recorded to the consolidated statements of operations. We include the results of all acquisitions in our consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition. Acquisition related transaction costs, such as banking, legal, accounting and other costs incurred in connection with an acquisition, are expensed as incurred in general and administrative expenses.

 

Goodwill – Goodwill is tested for impairment using a fair-value-based approach on an annual basis (December 31) and between annual tests if indicators of potential impairment exist.

 

Intangible Assets – Our intangible assets consist of customer relationships and developed technologies. The intangible assets are amortized following the patterns in which the economic benefits are consumed. We periodically review the estimated useful lives of our intangible assets and review these assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the assets may not be recoverable. The determination of impairment is based on estimates of future undiscounted cash flows. If an intangible asset is considered to be impaired, the amount of the impairment will be equal to the excess of the carrying value over the fair value of the asset.

 

Contract Liabilities – Our contract liabilities consist primarily of advance consideration received from customers for telecommunications contracts. The product and monthly service revenue is recognized on completion of the implementation and the remaining activation fees are reclassified as deferred revenue.

 

Use of Estimates – In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management makes assumptions, estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of net sales and expenses during the reported periods. Specific estimates and judgments include valuation of goodwill and intangible assets in connection with business acquisitions and asset acquisitions, allowances for doubtful accounts, uncertainties related to certain income tax benefits, valuation of deferred income tax assets, valuations of share-based payments, annual incentive bonuses accrual, recoverability of long-lived assets and product warranty liabilities. Management’s estimates are based on historical experience and on our expectations that are believed to be reasonable. The combination of these factors forms the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from our current estimates and those differences may be material.

 

Contingencies – The Company accrues for claims and contingencies when losses become probable and reasonably estimable. As of the end of each applicable reporting period, the Company reviews each of its matters and, where it is probable that a liability has been or will be incurred, it accrues for all probable and reasonably estimable losses. Where the Company can reasonably estimate a range of losses it may incur regarding such a matter, it records an accrual for the amount within the range that constitutes its best estimate. If the Company can reasonably estimate a range but no amount within the range appears to be a better estimate than any other, it uses the amount that is the low end of such range.

 

Service, Software Solutions and Product Revenue Recognition – Revenue is recognized upon transfer of control of promised services, software solutions or products to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to receive in exchange for those products or services and excludes any amounts collected on behalf of third parties. We enter into contracts that can include various combinations of products and services, which are generally capable of being distinct and accounted for as separate performance obligations. We recognize revenue for delivered elements only when we determine there are no uncertainties regarding customer acceptance. Changes in the allocation of the sales price between delivered and undelivered elements can impact the timing of revenue recognized but does not change the total revenue recognized on any agreement. Revenue is recognized net of any taxes collected from customers, which are subsequently remitted to governmental authorities. For more detailed information about revenue, see Note 2.

 

Cost of Service Revenue – Cost of service revenue includes cloud telecommunications services. Cloud telecommunications cost of service revenue primarily consists of fees we pay to third-party telecommunications and broadband Internet providers, costs of other third-party services we resell, personnel and travel expenses related to system implementation, and customer service.

 

Cost of Software Solutions Revenue – Cost of software solutions revenue consists primarily of royalties and other fees paid to third parties whose technology or products are sold as part of the Company’s products, direct costs to manufacture and distribute products, direct costs to provide product support and professional support services, direct costs associated with delivery of the Company’s software offerings, and amortization expense related to developed technology intangible assets.

Table of Contents

 

Cost of Product Revenue – Cost of product revenue primarily consists of the costs associated with the purchase of desktop devices and other third-party equipment we purchase for resale.

 

Product Warranty – We provide for the estimated cost of product warranties at the time we recognize revenue. We evaluate our warranty obligations on a product group basis. Our standard product warranty terms generally include post-sales support and repairs or replacement of a product at no additional charge for a specified period of time. We base our estimated warranty obligation upon warranty terms, ongoing product failure rates, and current period product shipments. If actual product failure rates, repair rates or any other post-sales support costs were to differ from our estimates, we would be required to make revisions to the estimated warranty liability. Warranty terms generally last for the duration that the customer has service.

 

Contingent Consideration – Contingent consideration represents deferred business acquisition and asset acquisition consideration to be paid out at some point in the future, typically over a one-year period or less from the acquisition date. Contingent consideration is recorded at the asset acquisition date fair value. Contingent consideration recorded in connection with a business acquisition is reported at fair value each reporting period until the contingency is resolved. Any changes in fair value are recognized in earnings. Contingent consideration recorded in connection with an asset acquisition is not derecognized until the related contingency is resolved and the consideration is paid or becomes payable. If the amount initially recorded as contingent consideration exceeds the amount paid or payable, the Company recognizes that excess amount as a reduction in the cost of the related intangible assets.

 

Public Offering – On September 28, 2020, the Company completed a public offering in which it issued and sold 1,750,000 shares of common stock at a price to the public of $5.50 per share. The shares sold and issued in the public offering resulted in an aggregate gross offering price of $9,625,000. The Company received net proceeds of $8,623,000 after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions of $674,000 and offering expenses of $328,000.

 

On October 21, 2020, the underwriters of the Company’s public offering exercised their option to purchase additional shares of the Company’s common stock to cover sales by the underwriters of a greater number of shares than the total set forth in the filed prospectus for the public offering. The underwriters purchased an additional 420,000 shares of common stock from the Company. The gross proceeds to the Company of the issuance were $2,310,000, and the Company received net proceeds of $2,148,000 after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions.

 

Research and Development – Research and development expenses consist primarily of personnel and related expenses for the Company’s research and development staff, including salaries, benefits, bonuses and stock-based compensation and the cost of certain third-party contractors. Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Costs related to internally developed software are expensed as research and development expense until technological feasibility has been achieved, after which the costs are capitalized.

 

Fair Value Measurements – The fair value of our financial assets and liabilities was determined based on three levels of inputs, of which the first two are considered observable and the last unobservable, that may be used to measure fair value which are the following:

 

Level 1 — Unadjusted quoted prices that are available in active markets for the identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date.

 

Level 2 — Other observable inputs available at the measurement date, other than quoted prices included in Level 1, either directly or indirectly, including:

 

 

·

Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets;

 

·

Quoted prices for identical or similar assets in non-active markets;

 

·

Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability; and

 

·

Inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by other observable market data.

 

Level 3 — Unobservable inputs that cannot be corroborated by observable market data and reflect the use of significant management judgment. These values are generally determined using pricing models for which the assumptions utilize management’s estimates of market participant assumptions.

 

Lease ObligationsWe determine if an agreement is a lease at inception. We evaluate the lease terms to determine whether the lease will be accounted for as an operating or finance lease. Operating leases are included in operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets, operating lease liabilities, current portion, and operating lease liabilities, net of current portion in our consolidated balance sheets.

 

 
11

Table of Contents

 

ROU assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. As most of our leases do not provide an implicit rate, we use our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. We use the implicit rate when readily determinable. The operating lease ROU asset also includes any lease payments made and excludes lease incentives. Our lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

 

A lease that transfers substantially all of the benefits and risks incidental to ownership of property are accounted for as finance leases. At the inception of a finance lease, an asset and finance lease obligation is recorded at an amount equal to the lesser of the present value of the minimum lease payments and the property’s fair market value. Finance lease obligations are classified as either current or long-term based on the due dates of future minimum lease payments, net of interest.

 

Notes Payable – We record notes payable net of any discounts or premiums. Discounts and premiums are amortized as interest expense or income over the life of the note in such a way as to result in a constant rate of interest when applied to the amount outstanding at the beginning of any given period.

 

Income Taxes – We recognize a liability or asset for the deferred tax consequences of all temporary differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the consolidated financial statements that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in future years when the reported amounts of the assets and liabilities are recovered or settled. Accruals for uncertain tax positions are provided for in accordance with accounting guidance. Accordingly, we may recognize the tax benefits from an uncertain tax position only if it is more-likely-than-not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position should be measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Accounting guidance is also provided on de-recognition of income tax assets and liabilities, classification of current and deferred income tax assets and liabilities, accounting for interest and penalties associated with tax positions, and income tax disclosures. Judgment is required in assessing the future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the financial statements or tax returns. Variations in the actual outcome of these future tax consequences could materially impact our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows. In assessing the need for a valuation allowance, we evaluate all significant available positive and negative evidence, including historical operating results, estimates of future taxable income and the existence of prudent and feasible tax planning strategies. At December 31, 2020 we determined that we would be able to realize our deferred income tax assets in the future and released $7,487,000 of the valuation allowance.

 

Interest and penalties associated with income taxes are classified as income tax expense in the consolidated statements of operations.

 

Stock-Based Compensation – For equity-classified awards, compensation expense is recognized over the requisite service period based on the computed fair value on the grant date of the award. Equity classified awards include the issuance of stock options and restricted stock units (“RSUs”).

 

Operating SegmentsAccounting guidance establishes standards for the way public business enterprises are to report information about operating segments in annual financial statements and requires enterprises to report selected information about operating segments in financial reports issued to stockholders. The Company has reorganized into two operating segments, which consist of cloud telecommunications services and software solutions. The software solutions segment includes the results of operation of NetSapiens, LLC, NSHC, Inc., NetSapiens Canada, Inc., and NetSapiens International Limited. The cloud telecommunications segment includes the results of operations of Crexendo Business Solutions, Inc., Crexendo International, Inc., and Centric Telecom, Inc. We generate over 99% of our total revenue from customers within North America (United States and Canada) and less than 1% of our total revenues from customers in other parts of the world.

 

Significant CustomersNo customer accounted for 10% or more of our total revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020. No customer accounted for 10% or more of our total trade accounts receivable as of September 30, 2021 and one cloud telecommunications services customer accounted for 11% of total trade accounts receivable as of December 31, 2020.

 

Recently Adopted Accounting PronouncementsIn December 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2019-12 to simplify the accounting in ASC 740, Income Taxes. This guidance removes certain exceptions related to the approach for intra-period tax allocation, the methodology for calculating income taxes in an interim period, and the recognition of deferred tax liabilities for outside basis differences. This guidance also clarifies and simplifies other areas of ASC 740. Certain amendments in this update must be applied on a prospective basis, certain amendments must be applied on a retrospective basis, and certain amendments must be applied on a modified retrospective basis through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings/(deficit) in the period of adoption. The Company adopted ASU 2019-12 effective January 1, 2021. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Table of Contents

 

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, which removes, modifies and adds to the disclosure requirements on fair value measurements in Topic 820. The amendments on changes in unrealized gains and losses, the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements, and the narrative description of measurement uncertainty should be applied prospectively for only the most recent interim or annual period presented in the initial fiscal year of adoption. All other amendments should be applied retrospectively to all periods presented upon their effective date. An entity is permitted to early adopt any removed or modified disclosures upon issuance of this updated guidance and delay adoption of the additional disclosures until their effective date. We adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2020. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

 

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment, which eliminates Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. The annual, or interim, goodwill impairment test is performed by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An impairment charge should be recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value; however, the loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. In addition, income tax effects from any tax deductible goodwill on the carrying amount of the reporting unit should be considered when measuring the goodwill impairment loss, if applicable. The amendments also eliminate the requirements for any reporting unit with a zero or negative carrying amount to perform a qualitative assessment and, if it fails that qualitative test, to perform Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test. An entity still has the option to perform the qualitative assessment for a reporting unit to determine if the quantitative impairment test is necessary. The Company adopted ASU 2017-04 effective January 1, 2020. The adoption of this ASU did not have an impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

Recently Issued Accounting PronouncementsIn June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, which requires measurement and recognition of expected credit losses for financial assets held. Following the effective date philosophy for all other entities in ASU 2019-10, which includes smaller reporting companies (SRCs), this guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022 including interim periods within those fiscal years. The standard is to be applied through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is effective. We do not plan to early adopt this ASU. We are in the process of evaluating the potential impact of adopting this new accounting standard on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

 

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, which simplifies the accounting for convertible instruments. ASU 2020-06 eliminates certain models that require separate accounting for embedded conversion features, in certain cases. Additionally, among other changes, the guidance eliminates certain of the conditions for equity classification for contracts in an entity’s own equity. ASU 2020-06 also requires entities to use the if-converted method for all convertible instruments in the diluted earnings per share calculation and include the effect of share settlement for instruments that may be settled in cash or shares, except for certain liability-classified share-based payment awards. ASU 2020-06 is effective for our fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within this fiscal year. This guidance can be applied using either a modified or full retrospective approach. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this ASU will have on the financial statements and related disclosures, as well as the timing of adoption.

 

2. Revenue

 

Revenue is measured based on a consideration specified in a contract with a customer, and excludes any sales incentives and amounts collected on behalf of third parties. The Company recognizes revenue when it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring control over a product, service, or software solution to a customer. Taxes assessed by a governmental authority that are both imposed on and concurrent with a specific revenue-producing transaction, that are collected by the Company from a customer, are excluded from revenue. The following is a description of principal activities – separated by reportable segments – from which the Company generates its revenue. For more detailed information about reportable segments, see Note 15.

 

Cloud Telecommunications Services Segment

 

Products and services may be sold separately or in bundled packages. The typical length of a contract for service is thirty-six to sixty months. Customers are billed for these services on a monthly basis. For bundled packages, the Company accounts for individual products and services separately if they are distinct – i.e. if a product or service is separately identifiable from other items in the bundled package and if a customer can benefit from it on its own or with other resources that are readily available to the customer. The consideration (including any discounts) is allocated between separate products and services in a bundle based on their relative stand-alone selling prices. The stand-alone selling prices are determined based on the prices at which the Company separately sells the desktop devices and telecommunication services. For items that are not sold separately (e.g. additional features) the Company estimates stand-alone selling prices using the adjusted market assessment approach. When we provide a free trial period, we do not begin to recognize recurring revenue until the trial period has ended and the customer has been billed for the services.

Desktop DevicesRevenue generated from the sale of telecommunications equipment (desktop devices) is recognized when the customer takes possession of the devices and the cloud telecommunications services begin. The Company typically bills and collects the fees for the equipment upon entering into a contract with a customer. Cash receipts are recorded as a contract liability until implementation is complete and the services begin.

 

Equipment Financing RevenueFees generated from renting our cloud telecommunication equipment (IP or cloud telephone desktop devices) through leasing contracts are recognized as revenue based on whether the lease qualifies as an operating lease or sales-type lease. The two primary accounting provisions which we use to classify transactions as sales-type or operating leases are: 1) lease term to determine if it is equal to or greater than 75% of the economic life of the equipment and 2) the present value of the minimum lease payments to determine if they are equal to or greater than 90% of the fair market value of the equipment at the inception of the lease. The economic life of most of our products is estimated to be three years, since this represents the most frequent contractual lease term for our products, and there is no residual value for used equipment. Residual values, if any, are established at the lease inception using estimates of fair value at the end of the lease term. The vast majority of our leases that qualify as sales-type leases are non-cancelable and include cancellation penalties approximately equal to the full value of the lease receivables. Leases that do not meet the criteria for sales-type lease accounting are accounted for as operating leases. Revenue from sales-type leases is recognized upon installation and the interest portion is deferred and recognized as earned. Revenue from operating leases in recognized ratably over the applicable service period.

 

Cloud Telecommunications ServicesCloud telecommunication services include voice, data, collaboration software, broadband Internet access, interest generated from equipment financing revenue, and support for premise based PBX phone systems. The Company recognizes revenue as services are provided in service revenue. Fees generated from reselling broadband Internet access are recognized as revenue net of the costs charged by the third-party service providers. Cloud telecommunications services are billed and paid on a monthly basis. Our telecommunications services contracts typically have a term of thirty-six to sixty months.

 

Fees, Commissions, and Other, Recognized over TimeIncludes contracted and non-contracted items such as:

 

 

·

Contracted activation and flash fees – The Company generally allocates a portion of the activation fees to the desktop devices, which is recognized at the time of the installation or customer acceptance, and a portion to the service, which is recognized over the contract term using the straight-line method.

 

·

Non-contracted carrier cost recovery fee – This fee recovers the various costs and expenses that the Company incurs in connection with complying with legal, regulatory, and other requirements, including without limitation federal, state, and local reporting and filing requirements. This fee is assessed as a set percentage of our monthly billing and is recognized monthly.

 

·

Non-contracted administrative fees – Administrative fees are recognized as revenue on a monthly basis.

 

One-Time Fees, Commissions, and OtherIncludes contracted and non-contracted items such as:

 

 

·

Contracted professional service revenue – Professional service revenue includes professional installation services, custom integration, and other professional services. The Company typically bills and collects professional service revenue upon entering into a contract with a customer. Professional service revenue is recognized as revenue when the performance obligations are completed.

 

·

Non-contracted cancellation fees – These cancellation fees relate to remaining contractual term buyout payments in connection with early cancellation and are billed and recognized as revenue upon receipt.

 

·

Other non-contracted fees – These fees include disconnect fees, shipping fees, restocking fees, and porting fees. Other non-contracted fees are recognized as revenue upon receipt of payment.

 

Software Solutions Segment

 

The Software Solutions segment derives revenues from three primary sources: software licenses, software maintenance support and professional services. Software and services may be sold separately or in bundled packages. Generally, contracts with customers contain multiple performance obligations, consisting of software and services. For bundled packages, the Company accounts for individual products and services separately if they are distinct – i.e. if a product or service is separately identifiable from other items in the bundled package and if a customer can benefit from it on its own or with other resources that are readily available to the customer. The consideration (including any discounts) is allocated between separate products and services in a bundle based on their relative stand-alone selling prices. The stand-alone selling prices are determined based on the prices at which the Company separately sells the software licenses and professional services. For items that are not sold separately (e.g. additional features) the Company estimates stand-alone selling prices using the adjusted market assessment approach. When we provide a free trial period, we do not begin to recognize recurring revenue until the trial period has ended and the customer has been billed for the services.

Software Licenses - The Company’s software licenses typically provide a perpetual right to use the Company’s software. The Company also sells term-based software licenses that expire and Software-as-a-Service (“SaaS”) based software which are referred to as subscription arrangements. The Company does not customize its software nor are installation services required, as the customer has a right to utilize internal resources or a third-party service company. The software is delivered before related services are provided and are functional without professional services or customer support. The Company has concluded that its software licenses are functional intellectual property that are distinct, as the user can benefit from the software on its own. The software license revenue could be recognized upon transfer of control or when the software is made available for download, as this is the point that the user of the software can direct the use of, and obtain substantially all of the remaining benefits from, the functional intellectual property. However, historical experience shows that customers regularly renegotiate the number of licenses during the installation process. Therefore, the Company recognizes revenue from software licenses when the setup is complete. The Company does not recognize software revenue related to the renewal of subscription software licenses earlier than the beginning of the subscription period.

SNAPsolution® - a comprehensive, IP-based platform that provides a broad suite of UC services including hosted Private Branch Exchange (PBX), auto-attendant, call center, conferencing, and mobility. The platform includes a broad range of feature-sets, custom-built to provide unprecedented levels of flexibility, making the solution competitive with the market’s leading players. SNAPsolution includes a full suite of Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP)/UC features with one low cost universal license, as opposed to pricing each feature individually. The Company licenses its platform based on concurrent sessions, not per seat/per feature. This allows service providers to oversubscribe their networks, driving down the cost per seat as volume increases. As the service provider increases their customer base, they only have to ensure they have sufficient concurrent call licenses to support users across the network. The Company recognizes one-time upfront software license revenue when the software setup is complete.

 

·

SNAPaccel – a Software-as-a-Service (“SaaS”) based software license referred to as subscription arrangements. The Company recognizes revenue as subscriptions are provided in service revenue on a monthly basis.

 

Subscription Maintenance and Support - Subscription maintenance and support revenue includes revenue from maintenance service contracts, customer support, and other supportive services. The Company offers warranties on its products. The warranty period for the Company’s licensed software is generally 90 days. Certain of the Company’s warranties are considered to be assurance-type in nature and do not cover anything beyond ensuring that the product is functioning as intended. Based on the guidance in ASC 606, assurance-type warranties do not represent separate performance obligations. The Company also sells separately-priced maintenance service contracts, which qualify as service-type warranties and represent separate performance obligations. The Company does not typically allow and has no history of accepting material product returns. Customer support includes software updates on a when-and-if-available basis, telephone support, integrated web-based support and bug fixes or patches. Subscription and maintenance support revenue is recognized ratably over the term of the customer support agreement, which is typically one year.

 

Professional Services and Other - The Company’s professional services include consulting, technical support, resident engineer services, design services and installation services. Revenue from professional services and other is recognized when the performance obligation is complete and the customer has accepted the performance obligation.

3. Earnings Per Common Share

 

Basic net income/(loss) per common share is computed by dividing the net income for the period by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per common share is computed giving effect to all dilutive common stock equivalents, consisting of common stock options. Diluted net loss per common share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 is the same as basic net loss per common share because the common share equivalents were anti-dilutive due to the net loss. The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net income per common share:

4. Acquisitions

 

NetSapiens, Inc. Merger Agreement

 

On June 1, 2021, the Company acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of NetSapiens, Inc. (“NetSapiens”), a provider of a comprehensive suite of unified communications (UC), video conferencing, collaboration & contact center solutions to service providers, servicing over two million users around the globe. The aggregate purchase price was approximately $49.1 million, consisting of $10 million in cash, and approximately $39 million in common stock and stock options. In connection with the closing of the Merger, the Company issued 3,097,309 shares of the Company’s common stock valued at $5.47 per share for common stock consideration of approximately $16.9 million, and 4,482,328 options under the Crexendo, Inc. 2021 Equity Incentive Plan with an aggregate value of $22.1 million, net of the aggregate exercise price of $5.6 million. Acquisition costs are included in general and administrative expenses and totaled $4,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and $1,015,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021.

 

The acquisition was accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting, with the Company identified as the acquirer. The Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the results of operations of NetSapiens from the date of acquisition. The historical results of operations of NetSapiens were not significant to the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated results of operations for the periods presented. Under the acquisition method of accounting, the aggregate amount of consideration paid by the Company was allocated to NetSapiens’s net tangible assets and intangible assets based on their estimated fair value on the acquisition date. The preliminary purchase price allocation, as set forth in the table below, reflects various preliminary fair value estimates and analysis prepared by the Company. The preliminary purchase price allocation is subject to revision as a more detailed analysis is completed by a third party valuation specialist and additional information on the fair values of NetSapiens’s assets and liabilities becomes available. Any change in the fair value of the net assets of NetSapiens will change the amount of the purchase price allocable to goodwill. Final purchase accounting adjustments may differ materially from preliminary purchase price allocation presented here. The preliminary areas of the purchase price allocation that are not yet finalized relate to the identification and valuation of intangible assets by an independent third party valuation firm and the determination of fair values of certain assets and liabilities; trade receivable, right-of-use assets and associated liabilities, deferred tax assets, and contract costs. We anticipate finalizing our purchase price allocation during 2021. The following table presents the preliminary allocation of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of June 1, 2021 (in thousands):

A preliminary estimate of $5.0 million has been allocated to existing technology, an intangible asset with an estimated useful life of approximately 6 years. A preliminary estimate of $16.5 million has been allocated to customer relationships with an estimated life of approximately 9 years. The estimated fair values of existing technology and customer relationships was established based upon the income approach. The income approach relies on an estimation of the present value of the future monetary benefits expected to flow to the owner of an asset during its remaining economic life. This approach requires a projection of the cash flow that the asset is expected to generate in the future. The projected cash flow is discounted to its present value using a rate of return, or discount rate that accounts for the time value of money and the degree of risk inherent in the asset. The income approach may take the form of a “relief from royalty” methodology, a cost savings methodology, a “with and without” methodology, or excess earnings methodology, depending on the specific asset under consideration.

 

The existing technology and customer relationships were valued using the multi-period excess earnings method. Inherent in the multi-period excess earnings method is the recognition that, in most cases, all of the assets of the business, both tangible and intangible, contribute to the generation of the cash flow of the business and the net cash flows attributable to the subject asset must recognize the support of the other assets which contribute to the realization of the cash flows. This future cash flow was then discounted using an estimated required rate of return for the asset to determine the present value of the future cash flows attributable to the asset. The key assumptions used in valuing the existing technology and customer relationships acquired are as follows: weighted average cost of capital of 17.4%, tax rate of 22.5%, and estimated economic life of 6 and 9 years, respectively.

 

A preliminary estimate of $26.7 million has been allocated to goodwill. Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net tangible and intangible assets acquired. Goodwill will not be amortized and will be tested for impairment at least annually. The preliminary purchase price allocation for NetSapiens is subject to revision as more detailed analysis is completed and additional information on the fair values of NetSapiens’ assets and liabilities becomes available. Any changes in the fair value of the net assets of NetSapiens will change the amount of the purchase price allocable to goodwill. The final purchase accounting allocation may therefore differ materially from the pro forma adjustments presented herein. The final allocation may include (1) changes in fair values of property and equipment (2) changes in allocations to intangible assets such as technology, customer relationships, and deferred revenue as well as goodwill and (3) other changes to assets and liabilities.

Centric Telecom, Inc. Business Acquisition

 

On January 14, 2021, the Company acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of Centric Telecom, Inc., a provider of telecommunications products, services, and solutions in Northern Virginia. The aggregate purchase price of $3,255,000 consisted of $2,163,000 of cash paid at closing, 46,662 shares of our common stock with an estimated fair value of $346,000 issued at closing, and $746,000 of estimated contingent consideration to be paid out based on annualized revenue recognized during the nine month earn-out period. The fair value of the common stock issued as consideration was determined based on the closing market price of the Company’s common stock on the date of the acquisition of $7.42. The aggregate purchase price is subject to customary upward or downward adjustments for Centric Telecom’s net working capital. Acquisition costs are included in general and administrative expenses and totaled $0 for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and $50,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021.

 

The acquisition was accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting, with the Company identified as the acquirer. The Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the results of operations of Centric Telecom from the date of acquisition. The historical results of operations of Centric Telecom were not significant to the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated results of operations for the periods presented. Under the acquisition method of accounting, the aggregate amount of consideration paid by the Company was allocated to Centric Telecom’s net tangible assets and intangible assets based on their estimated fair value on the acquisition date. The preliminary purchase price allocation, as set forth in the table below, reflects various preliminary fair value estimates and analysis prepared by the Company. The preliminary purchase price allocation is subject to revision as a more detailed analysis is completed by a third party valuation specialist and additional information on the fair values of Centric’s assets and liabilities becomes available. Any change in the fair value of the net assets of Centric Telecom will change the amount of the purchase price allocable to goodwill. Final purchase accounting adjustments may differ materially from preliminary purchase price allocation presented here. The primary areas of the purchase price allocation that are not yet finalized relate to the valuation of the intangible assets acquired, fair value of right to use assets and associated operating lease liabilities assumed, and net working capital adjustments. We anticipate finalizing our purchase price allocation during 2021. The following table presents the preliminary allocation of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of January 14, 2021 (in thousands):

The intangible assets acquired consist of customer relationships. The fair value of the customer relationships was determined utilizing variations of the income approach where the expected future cash flows resulting from the acquired identifiable intangible assets were reduced by operating costs and charges for contributory assets and then discounted to present value at the weighted average cost of capital. The key assumptions used in valuing the customer relationships acquired is a weighted average cost of capital of 17.4% and a tax rate of 22.5%. The amortizable intangible assets have an average useful life of eight years. The purchase price exceeded the estimated fair value of the tangible and identifiable intangible assets and liabilities acquired and, as a result of the allocation, the Company recorded goodwill of $1,123,000, which is not deductible for tax purposes. The goodwill recognized is primarily attributable to contributions of the entity’s assembled workforce of the acquired business.

12. Income Taxes

 

Our effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 was 1167.4% and 2.2%, respectively, which resulted in an income tax benefit/(provision) of $(137,000) and $(3,000), respectively. Our effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 was (11.8%) and 1.1%, respectively, which resulted in an income tax benefit/(provision) of $247,000 and $(9,000), respectively.

 

As of each reporting date, management considers new evidence, both positive and negative, that could affect its view of the future realization of deferred tax assets. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income in the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. We reduce the carrying amounts of deferred tax assets by a valuation allowance if, based on the evidence available, it is more-likely-than-not that such assets will not be realized. In making the assessment under the more-likely-than-not standard, appropriate consideration must be given to all positive and negative evidence related to the realization of the deferred tax assets. This assessment considers, among other matters, the nature, frequency and severity of current and cumulative losses, forecasts of future profitability, the duration of statutory carry-forward periods by jurisdiction, unitary versus stand-alone state tax filings, our experience with loss carryforwards expiring unutilized, and all tax planning alternatives that may be available. As of December 31, 2020, management reviewed the weight of all the positive and negative evidence available. Management reviewed positive evidence such as achievement of three years of cumulative pretax income in the U.S. federal tax jurisdiction, projections of future pretax income and the duration of statutory carry-forward periods. As of December 31, 2020 the Company has achieved three years of cumulative pretax income, the achievement of three years of cumulative pretax income is objectively verifiable positive evidence and is considered significant positive evidence. Management also evaluated projections of future pretax income and the duration of statutory carry-forward periods to determine if the NOL carryforwards could be utilized in whole or in part before they expire unutilized. Forecasts and projections of future income are inherently subjective and therefore generally are given less weight, based on the extent to which the assumptions can be objectively verified based on historical experience. Management utilized historical objectively verifiable revenue growth trends and operating expense trends as assumptions for projections of future pretax income and determined that the Company would generate sufficient pre-tax income in future periods to utilize all of our deferred tax assets. Although historical trends utilized in our projections are objectively verifiable we assigned less weight to this positive evidence given the subjective nature of assumptions in projections. The combination of three years of cumulative pretax income and projections of future pretax income was considered significant positive evidence. Management reviewed negative evidence related to experience of credits and loss carryforwards expiring unutilized, and determined that although negative evidence exists, it was not significant evidence, as the current loss carryforwards do not begin to expire until 2031 and therefore risk is minimal. After reviewing the weight of the positive and negative evidence, management determined that there is sufficient positive evidence to conclude that it is more likely than not that deferred taxes of $6,054,000 are realizable, and released the valuation allowance accordingly.

 

13. Leases

 

Lessee Accounting

 

We determine if an agreement is a lease at inception. We lease office space, other assets, and office equipment under operating leases. We lease data center equipment, including maintenance contracts and vehicles under finance leases.

Table of Contents

 

Operating leases are recorded as right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet, excluding leases that are less than 12 months. ROU assets represent our right to use the leased asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. As most of our leases do not provide an implicit rate, we use our estimated incremental borrowing rate at the commencement date to determine the present value of lease payments. The operating lease ROU assets also include any lease payments made and exclude lease incentives. The Company’s lease agreements do not contain any variable lease payments, material residual value guarantees or any restrictive covenants. Our lease terms may include options, at our sole discretion, to extend or terminate the lease. At the adoption date of ASC Topic 842, the Company was reasonably certain that we would exercise our option to renew our corporate office building operating lease. Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

 

We previously leased our corporate office building in Tempe, Arizona from a Company that is owned by the major shareholder and CEO of the Company. The building was purchased on January 27, 2020 and the lease was cancelled. Amortization of the ROU assets and operating lease liabilities for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 was $0 and $0, respectively, and for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 was $0 and $50,000, respectively. Rental expense incurred on operating leases for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 was approximately $0 and $0, respectively, and for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 was approximately $0 and $25,000, respectively.

 

We leased office space in McLean, Virginia under a non-cancelable operating lease agreement that expired on July 31, 2021. The operating lease contains customary escalation clauses. Rental expense for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 was approximately $9,000 and $0, respectively, and for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 was $56,000 and $0, respectively.

 

We currently lease office space in Reston, Virgina under a non-cancelable operating lease agreement that expires in 2025. The operating lease contains customary escalation clauses.

Lessor Accounting

 

Lessor accounting remained substantially unchanged with the adoption of ASC Topic 842. Crexendo offers its customers lease financing for the lease of our cloud telecommunication equipment (IP or cloud telephone desktop devices). We account for these transactions as sales-type leases. The vast majority of our leases that qualify as sales-type leases are non-cancelable and include cancellation penalties approximately equal to the full value of the lease receivables. Leases that do not meet the criteria for sales-type lease accounting are accounted for as operating leases. Operating lease revenue is classified as product revenue and totaled $54,000 and $0 for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and $148,000 and $0 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Revenue from sales-type leases is recognized upon installation and the interest portion is deferred and recognized as earned. Revenue from operating leases is recognized ratably over the applicable service period.

Legal Proceedings

 

In the ordinary course of business, the Company may be involved in a variety of claims, lawsuits, investigations, and other proceedings, including patent infringement claims, employment litigation, regulatory compliance matters, and contractual disputes, that can arise in the normal course of the Company’s operations. The Company recognizes a provision when management believes information available prior to the issuance of the financial statements indicates it is probable a loss has been incurred as of the date of the financial statements and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. The Company adjusts the amount of the provision to reflect the impact of negotiations, settlements, rulings, advice of legal counsel, and other information and events pertaining to a particular case. As of September 30, 2021, the Company does not have a recorded liability for estimated losses. Legal costs are expensed as incurred.

 

15. Segment Reporting

 

Our chief operating decision maker (who is our Chief Executive Officer) reviews our financial information presented on an operating segment basis for purposes of allocating resources and evaluating our financial performance. Following the merger with NetSapiens, Inc., the Company reorganized into two operating segments, a software solutions operating segment and a cloud telecommunications services operating segment. The cloud telecommunications services segment generates revenue from selling cloud telecommunication services, products, and other internet services. The software solutions segment generates revenue from selling perpetual software licenses and software subscriptions, subscription maintenance and support, and professional services. The Company has two reportable operating segments, which consist of cloud telecommunications services and software solutions. Segment revenue, income/(loss) from operations, other income/(expense) and income/(loss) before income tax provision are as follows (in thousands):

Forward-looking statements can be identified by words such as “anticipates,” “expects,” “believes,” “plans,” “predicts,” and similar terms. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and our Company’s actual results may differ significantly from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements. Factors that might cause such differences include, but are not limited to, those discussed in Part II, Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” which are incorporated herein by reference. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 (the “2020 Form 10-K”) filed with the SEC and the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto included in the 2021 Form 10-Qs and elsewhere in this Form 10-Q. We assume no obligation to revise or update any forward-looking statements for any reason, except as required by law.

 

OVERVIEW

 

Crexendo, Inc. is incorporated in the state of Nevada. As used hereafter in the notes to consolidated financial statements, we refer to Crexendo, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries, as “we,” “us,” or “our Company.” Crexendo, Inc. is an award-winning premier provider of Unified Communications as a Service (UCaaS), Call Center as a Service (CCaaS), communication platform software solutions, and collaboration services designed to provide enterprise-class cloud communication solutions to any size business through our business partners, agents, and direct channels. Our solutions currently support over two Million end users globally and was recently recognized as the fastest growing UCaaS platform in the United States. Following the merger with NetSapiens, the Company has reorganized with two operating segments, which consist of cloud telecommunications services and software solutions.

 

Cloud Telecommunications Services – Our cloud telecommunications services transmit calls using IP or cloud technology, which converts voice signals into digital data packets for transmission over the Internet or cloud. Each of our calling plans provides a number of basic features typically offered by traditional telephone service providers, plus a wide range of enhanced features that we believe offer an attractive value proposition to our customers. This platform enables a user, via a single “identity” or telephone number, to access and utilize services and features regardless of how the user is connected to the Internet or cloud, whether it’s from a desktop device or an application on a mobile device.

 

We generate recurring revenue from our cloud telecommunications and broadband Internet services. Our cloud telecommunications contracts typically have a thirty-six to sixty month term. We may also charge activation and flash fees and the Company generally allocates a portion of the activation fees to the desktop devices, which is recognized at the time of the installation or customer acceptance, and a portion to the service, which is recognized over the contract term using the straight-line method. We also charge other various contracted and non-contracted fees.

 

We generate product revenue and equipment financing revenue from the sale and lease of our cloud telecommunications equipment. Revenues from the sale of equipment, including those from sales-type leases, are recognized at the time of sale or at the inception of the lease, as appropriate.

 

Software Solutions – Our software solutions segment derives revenues from three primary sources: software licenses, software maintenance support and professional services. Software and services may be sold separately or in bundled packages. Generally, contracts with customers contain multiple performance obligations, consisting of software and services. For bundled packages, the Company accounts for individual products and services separately if they are distinct – i.e. if a product or service is separately identifiable from other items in the bundled package and if a customer can benefit from it on its own or with other resources that are readily available to the customer. The consideration is allocated between separate products and services in a bundle based on their relative stand-alone selling prices. The stand-alone selling prices are determined based on the prices at which the Company separately sells the software licenses and professional services. For items that are not sold separately (e.g. additional features) the Company estimates stand-alone selling prices using the adjusted market assessment approach. When we provide a free trial period, we do not begin to recognize recurring revenue until the trial period has ended and the customer has been billed for the services.

 

We generate software license revenue from the sale of perpetual software licenses, term-based software licenses that expire, and Software-as-a-Service (“SaaS”) based software which are referred to as subscription arrangements. The Company does not recognize software revenue related to the renewal of subscription software licenses earlier than the beginning of the subscription period.

 

We generate subscription and maintenance support revenue from customer support and other supportive services. The Company offers warranties on its products. The warranty period for our licensed software is generally 90 days. Certain of the Company’s warranties are considered to be assurance-type in nature and do not cover anything beyond ensuring that the product is functioning as intended. Based on the guidance in ASC 606, assurance-type warranties do not represent separate performance obligations. The Company also sells separately-priced maintenance service contracts, which qualify as service-type warranties and represent separate performance obligations. The Company does not typically allow and has no history of accepting material product returns. Customer support includes software updates on a when-and-if-available basis, telephone support, integrated web-based support and bug fixes or patches. Subscription and maintenance support revenue is recognized ratably over the term of the customer support agreement, which is typically one year.

Table of Contents

 

We generate professional services and other revenue from consulting, technical support, resident engineer services, design services and installation services. Revenue for professional services and other is recognized when the performance obligation is complete and the customer has accepted the performance obligation.

 

Our software solutions revenue was $3,784,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and $0 for the three months ended September 30, 2020. Our software solutions revenue was $4,796,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and $0 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020.

USE OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

 

To evaluate our business, we consider and use non-generally accepted accounting principles (“Non-GAAP”) net income and Adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental measure of operating performance. These measures include the same adjustments that management takes into account when it reviews and assesses operating performance on a period-to-period basis. We consider Non-GAAP net income to be an important indicator of overall business performance because it allows us to evaluate results without the effects of share-based compensation, acquisition related expenses and amortization of intangibles. We define EBITDA as U.S. GAAP net income/(loss) before interest income, interest expense, other income and expense, provision for income taxes, and depreciation and amortization. We believe EBITDA provides a useful metric to investors to compare us with other companies within our industry and across industries. We define Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA adjusted for acquisition related expenses and share-based compensation. We use Adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental measure to review and assess operating performance. We also believe use of Adjusted EBITDA facilitates investors’ use of operating performance comparisons from period to period, as well as across companies.

Table of Contents

 

In our November 9, 2021 earnings press release, as furnished on Form 8-K, we included Non-GAAP net income, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA. The terms Non-GAAP net income, EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA are not defined under U.S. GAAP, and are not measures of operating income, operating performance or liquidity presented in analytical tools, and when assessing our operating performance, Non-GAAP net income, EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation, or as a substitute for net income/(loss) or other consolidated income statement data prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Some of these limitations include, but are not limited to:

 

 

·

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect our cash expenditures or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;

 

·

they do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs;

 

·

they do not reflect the interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments, on our debt that we may incur;

 

·

they do not reflect income taxes or the cash requirements for any tax payments;

 

·

although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will be replaced sometime in the future, and EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements;

 

·

while share-based compensation is a component of operating expense, the impact on our financial statements compared to other companies can vary significantly due to such factors as the assumed life of the options and the assumed volatility of our common stock; and

 

·

other companies may calculate EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA differently than we do, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures.

 

We compensate for these limitations by relying primarily on our U.S. GAAP results and using Non-GAAP net income, EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA only as supplemental support for management’s analysis of business performance. Non-GAAP net income, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are calculated as follows for the periods presented.

 

RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

 

In accordance with the requirements of Regulation G issued by the SEC, we are presenting the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures and reconciling the unaudited Non-GAAP financial metrics to the comparable U.S. GAAP measures.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Liquidity is a measure of our ability to access sufficient cash flows to meet the short-term and long-term cash requirements of our business operations. We finance our operations primarily through services, software solutions, and product sales to our customers. As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, we had cash and cash equivalents of $7,701,000 and $17,579,000, respectively. Changes in cash and cash equivalents are dependent upon changes in, among other things, working capital items such as contract liabilities, contract costs, accounts payable, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses, and various accrued expenses, as well as purchases of property and equipment, asset acquisitions, business combinations, and changes in our capital and financial structure due to debt repayments and issuances, stock option exercises, sales of equity investments and similar events. We believe that our operations along with existing liquidity sources will satisfy our cash requirements for at least the next 12 months.

 

During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company completed a public offering in which it issued and sold 2,170,000 shares of common stock at a price to the public of $5.50 per share. The shares sold and issued in the public offering resulted in an aggregate gross offering price of $11,935,000 and net proceeds to the Company were $10,771,000 after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions. The Company intends to utilize the proceeds to fund acquisitions.

 

On January 14, 2021, the Company acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of Centric Telecom, Inc., a provider of telecommunications products, services, and solutions in Northern Virginia. The aggregate purchase price of $3,255,000 consisted of $2,163,000 of cash paid at closing, 46,662 shares of our common stock with an estimated fair value of $346,000 issued at closing, and $746,000 of estimated contingent consideration to be paid out based on annualized revenue recognized during the nine month earn-out period.

 

On June 1, 2021, the Company closed the Merger with NetSapiens, Inc. The transaction was valued at approximately $49.1 million, consisting of $10 million in cash, and approximately $39 million in common stock and stock options. In connection with the closing of the Merger, the Company issued 3,097,309 shares of the Company’s common stock valued at $5.47 per share for common stock consideration of approximately $16.9 million, and 4,482,328 options under the Crexendo, Inc. 2021 Equity Incentive Plan with an aggregate value of $22.1 million, net of the aggregate exercise price of $5.6 million.

 

Operating Activities

 

Cash provided by or used in operating activities is driven by our net loss, the timing of customer collections, as well as the amount and timing of disbursements to our vendors, the amount of cash we invest in personnel, marketing, and infrastructure costs to support the anticipated growth of our business.

Impact of Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

The information set forth under Note 1 to the condensed consolidated financial statements under the caption “Recent Accounting Pronouncements” is incorporated herein by reference.

 

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

 

Foreign Currency Risk

 

For all periods presented, our sales and operating expenses were predominately denominated in U.S. dollars. We therefore have not had material foreign currency risk associated with sales and cost-based activities. The functional currency of our material operating entities is the U.S. dollar.

 

For the periods presented, we believe the exposure to foreign currency fluctuation from operating expenses is immaterial as the related costs do not constitute a significant portion of our total expenses. As we grow operations, our exposure to foreign currency risk may become more significant.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

 

Conclusion Regarding the Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, after evaluating the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of the end of the period covered by this Report, have concluded that, based on the evaluation of these controls and procedures, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the three months ended September 30, 2021 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

 

From time to time, we are involved in lawsuits, claims, investigations and proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of business. There are no matters pending or threatened that we expect to have a material adverse impact on our business, results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.

 

Item 1A. Risk Factors

 

There are many risk factors that may affect our business and the results of our operations, many of which are beyond our control. Information on certain risks that we believe are material to our business is set forth in “Part I – Item 1A. Risk Factors” of the 2020 Form 10-K. Additional risk factors identified during the period are as follows:

  

There is no guarantee that Crexendo and NetSapiens will fully integrate operations or that the merger will be accretive. Failure to properly manage the merger could impact our stock price and our future business and financial results.

 

The success of the Merger will depend, in part, on our ability to successfully integrate NetSapiens’ business and operations and fully realize the anticipated benefits and synergies from combining the businesses of Crexendo and NetSapiens. However, to realize these anticipated benefits and synergies, the businesses of Crexendo and NetSapiens must be successfully combined. If we are not able to achieve these objectives following the Merger, the anticipated benefits and synergies of the Merger may not be realized fully or at all or may take longer to realize than expected. Any failure to timely realize these anticipated benefits could have a material adverse effect on our revenues, expenses and operating results.

 

Crexendo and NetSapiens are in the process of combining operations and attempting to implement operational efficiencies, however for the time being the operations are not fully integrated and many facets of the businesses are still being run independently. It is possible that the ongoing integration process could result in the loss of key employees, loss of key customers, decreases in revenues, increases in operating costs, as well as the disruption of each company’s ongoing businesses, any or all of which could limit our ability to achieve the anticipated benefits and synergies of the Merger and have an adverse effect on our operating results. Integration efforts between the two companies could also divert management’s attention and resources, which could also adversely affect our operating results.

 

We are planning to migrate most of Crexendo’s customers to the NetSapiens Communication Platform, the failure to do that efficiently and properly may impact our business revenue and stock price.

 

We are in the process of moving certain Crexendo customers to the NetSapiens communication platform while retaining the Crexendo Ride the Cloud® system. There can be significant cost savings associated with consolidating all customers on one communication platform while maintaining the Crexendo system for redundancies. The failure to properly migrate customers could cause customer service issues which could cause cancellations and loss of revenue. There may be expenses and other difficulties involved in migrating customers which may cause substantial short-term expenses prior to realizing the anticipated cost savings from primarily operating one system. We may be unable to realize efficiencies of primarily maintaining one communication platform.

 

We have incurred and still have some continuing transaction costs in connection with the Merger. There may be difficulties in combining operations and employee benefits.

 

We have incurred significant costs in connection with the Merger including legal, accounting, financial consulting, and related fees. Certain of these costs may continue particularly in relation to combining benefit and employee programs. There will be costs associated with combining accounting systems, legal, compliance, and employee benefits. The employee benefits provided historically to NetSapiens employees are different than the benefits provided to Crexendo employees. There may be expenses and other difficulties involved in having one set of employee benefit programs. We may incur additional costs to retain key employees. We may lose certain employees who may perceive there is a diminution in value of benefits previously received under the NetSapiens benefits compared to Crexendo benefits. We may also incur fees and costs related to these integration plans. We may be unable to realize efficiencies with the Merger that would allow us, over time, to offset the costs incurred in connection with the Merger.

  

Crexendo and NetSapiens may have difficulty attracting, motivating and retaining executives and other key employees in light of the Merger.

 

While the Merger Agreement provided for covenants attempting to acknowledge NetSapiens employees’ pre-closing services to NetSapiens for benefits eligibility purposes and to provide a similar level of compensation accorded to the NetSapiens employees should they continue their employment with the post-closing business, uncertainty about the effect of the Merger on Crexendo and NetSapiens’ employees remains and may have an adverse effect on Crexendo and NetSapiens and consequently the combined business. This uncertainty may impair Crexendo and NetSapiens’ ability to attract, retain and motivate key personnel for the combined entity. NetSapiens employees may experience uncertainty about their future roles with the combined business. Additionally, NetSapiens officers and employees may own shares of NetSapiens’ common stock and/or have stock option grants and may have received both cash and Crexendo stock and Options to purchase common stock of Crexendo, the payment of which could provide sufficient financial incentive for certain officers and employees to no longer pursue employment with the combined business. If key employees of Crexendo or NetSapiens depart, we may have to incur significant costs in identifying, hiring and retaining replacements for departing employees, which could reduce our ability to realize the anticipated benefits of the Merger.

Crexendo’s and NetSapiens’ business relationships, including customer relationships, may be subject to disruption due to the Merger.

 

Parties with which Crexendo and NetSapiens do business with may experience uncertainty associated with the Transaction, including with respect to business relationships with Crexendo, NetSapiens or the combined business. Crexendo’s and NetSapiens’ business relationships may be subject to disruption as customers and others may attempt to negotiate changes in existing business relationships or consider entering into business relationships with parties other than Crexendo, NetSapiens or the combined business. These disruptions could have an adverse effect on the businesses, financial condition, results of operations or prospects of the combined business.

 

Our public stockholders have and will continue to experience dilution as a consequence of, among other transactions, the issuance of Merger Shares and options to purchase Common Stock of Crexendo as consideration for the Merger. Having a minority share position may reduce the influence that our current stockholders have on the management of the post-closing business.

 

As a consequence of the merger, we have issued an aggregate of 6,462,036 shares of Common Stock and options of Crexendo (including those Common Stock underlying the Exchange Options to be registered on a Form S-8), to the equity holders of NetSapiens. The issuance of Common Stock to the equityholders of NetSapiens pursuant to the Merger Agreement may dilute the equity interests of our existing stockholders and may adversely affect prevailing market prices for our Common Stock. Such dilution could, among other things, limit the ability of our existing stockholders to influence the Company’s management through the election of directors following the closing of the Transaction.

 

The market price of our Common Stock after the Merger may be affected by factors different from those affecting our Common Stock currently. The market price of our Common Stock may decline as a result of the Merger.

 

The businesses of Crexendo and NetSapiens differ and, accordingly, the results of operations and the market price of our Common Stock following the Merger and the combination of the two businesses may be affected by factors different from those currently affecting the independent results of operations and market prices of common stock of each of Crexendo and NetSapiens. The market price of our Common Stock may decline as a result of the Merger if, among other things, we are unable to achieve growth in earnings or, if we incur expenses in excess of what is anticipated, or we otherwise fail to achieve anticipated operational efficiencies. The market price also may decline if we do not achieve the perceived benefits of the Merger as rapidly or to the extent anticipated by the investment community or if the effect of the Merger on our financial results is not consistent with the expectations of the investment community. There may be substantial selling of stock by shareholders who received shares of Crexendo stock in the merger after the six month lock up period has expired, there may be substantial sale of shares by employees who received Options to purchase common stock in the merger all of which may negatively affect the market price of our Common Stock.

 

We expect to continue to undertake acquisitions, mergers or change to our capital structure to expand our business, which may pose risks to our business and dilute the ownership of our existing stockholders.

 

As part of a potential growth strategy, we expect to continue to attempt to acquire or merge with certain businesses. Whether we realize benefits from any such transactions will depend in part upon the integration of any acquired businesses, the performance of the acquired products, services and capacities of the technologies acquired, as well as the personnel hired in connection therewith. Accordingly, our results of operations could be adversely affected from transaction-related charges, amortization of intangible assets, and charges for impairment of long-term assets. While we believe that we have established appropriate and adequate procedures and processes to mitigate these risks, there can be no assurance that any potential transaction will be successful.

 

In addition, the financing of any acquisition may require us to raise additional funds through public or private sources. Additional funds may not be available on terms that are favorable to us and, in the case of equity financings, may result in dilution to our stockholders. Future acquisitions by us could also result in large and immediate write-offs or assumptions of debt and contingent liabilities, any of which may have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations, and cash flows.
