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 is an
award-winning premier provider of cloud communications, UCaaS, call
center, collaboration services, and other cloud business services
that are designed to provide enterprise-class cloud services to any
size business at affordable monthly rates. The Company has two
operating segments, which consist of Cloud Telecommunications and
Web Services.
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.,
and Centric Telecom, Inc. 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.
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 March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, we had cash and cash
equivalents in financial institutions in excess of federally
insured limits in the amount of $15,565,000 and $17,175,000,
respectively.
Restricted Cash
– We classified $0
and $100,000 as restricted cash as of March 31, 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 March 31, 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

Trade Receivables
– Trade receivables
from our cloud telecommunications and web services 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.
7
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 $985,000 and $970,000
at March 31, 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 March 31, 2021
and 2020, the Company amortized $122,000 and $111,000 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
|
Land
|
Not depreciated
|
Computer and office equipment
|
2 to 5 years
|
Computer software
|
3 years
|
Internal-use software
|
3 years
|
Furniture and fixtures
|
4 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. In 2019, the
Company acquired customer relationships for an estimated aggregate
purchase price of $351,000. During the year ended December 31,
2020, the Company determined that the contingent consideration
payable was $121,000 less than initially recorded and recognized a
reduction in the cost of the asset acquired.
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. 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.
8
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.
Product and Service Revenue
Recognition – Revenue is recognized upon transfer of control of
promised products or services 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
includes Cloud Telecommunications and Web Services cost of service
revenue. 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. Web Services cost of service
revenue consists primarily of customer service costs and
outsourcing fees related to fulfillment of our professional web
management services.
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.
9
Research and Development
– 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 Obligations
– We 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.
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.
10
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”).
Comprehensive Income/(Loss)
– There were no
other components of comprehensive income/(loss) other than net
income/(loss) for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and
2020.
Operating Segments
– Accounting
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 two operating segments,
which consist of Cloud Telecommunications and Web Services.
Research and development expenses are allocated to Cloud
Telecommunications and Web Services segments based on the level of
effort, measured primarily by wages and benefits attributed to our
engineering department. Indirect sales and marketing expenses
are allocated to the Cloud Telecommunications and Web Services
segments based on level of effort, measured by month-to-date
contract bookings. General and
administrative expenses are allocated to both segments based on
revenue recognized for each segment. Accounting guidance also
establishes standards for related disclosure about products and
services, geographic areas and major customers. 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 Customers
– No customer
accounted for 10% or more of our total revenue for the three months
ended March 31, 2021 and 2020. No customer accounted for 10% or
more of our total trade accounts receivable as of March 31, 2021
and one telecommunications services customer accounted for 11% of
total trade accounts receivable as of December 31,
2020.
Recently
Adopted Accounting Pronouncements – In
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.
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 Pronouncements – In
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 or service 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 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 Devices
– Revenue
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
Revenue – Fees
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
Services – Cloud
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 Time – Includes
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 Other – Includes
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.
12
Web Services Segment
Website Hosting Service
– Fees
generated from hosting customer websites are recognized as revenue
as the services are provided in service revenue. Website hosting
services are billed and collected on a monthly
basis.
Professional Website
Management Service and Other – Fees
generated from reselling professional website management services
are recognized as revenue net of the costs charged by the
third-party service providers. Professional website management
services are billed and paid on a monthly
basis.
Disaggregation of Revenue
In
the following table, revenue is disaggregated by primary major
product line, and timing of revenue recognition. The table also

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 months ended March 31, 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

Acquisitions
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.
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.
NetSapiens, Inc. Merger Agreement
During
the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Company entered into a
Merger Agreement to acquire NetSapiens, Inc. for approximately $50
million, consisting of (1) $10 million in cash, and (2)
approximately $40 million in the form of shares of the
Company’s common stock or Company options. The merger
consideration is subject to customary upward or downward
adjustments for NetSapiens’ net working capital and closing
cash. When taking into account the anticipated adjustments for net
working capital and closing cash, the Company expects to issue
approximately 3,114,690 shares of the Company’s common stock
valued at $6.19 per share for common stock consideration of
approximately $19.3 million and approximately 4,438,321 options
with an aggregate value of $21.8 million, net of the aggregate
exercise price of $5.6 million, at the closing. The completion of
the Merger is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain
conditions, including: (i) the adoption of the Merger Agreement by
the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of all
outstanding shares of NetSapiens entitled to vote; (ii) the
approval of the issuance of the Merger Shares and the other matters
requiring stockholder approval for the consummation of the
Transactions by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority
of all outstanding shares of the Company entitled to vote thereon;
and (iii) the absence of governmental restraints or prohibitions
preventing the consummation of the Mergers.
DoubleHorn, LLC Asset Acquisition
On
December 31, 2019, the Company acquired certain assets from
DoubleHorn, LLC. The aggregate purchase price of approximately
$351,000 consisted of $176,000 of cash payable at closing and
$175,000 of contingent consideration it estimates will be paid
during the six month earn-out period. The Company concluded that
the DoubleHorn acquisition met the definition of an asset
acquisition under ASU 2017-01, "Clarifying the Definition of a
Business", and the cost was allocated to the individual assets
acquired and liabilities assumed based on their relative fair
values. The customer relationships intangible asset will be
amortized over a six year estimated useful life following the
pattern of the economic benefits.
During
the year ended December 31, 2020, $54,000 of contingent
consideration was paid in cash and the Company determined that the
contingent consideration payable was $121,000 less than initially
recorded and recognized a reduction in the cost of the asset
acquired. The following table presents the cost of the acquisition
and the allocation to assets acquired based upon their relative
fair value:

Income Taxes
Our
effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and
2020 was (14.8%) and 2.1%, respectively, which resulted in an
income tax benefit/(provision) of $124,000 and $(3,000),
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.

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.
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. Amortization of the ROU assets and operating lease
liabilities for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 was

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 $43,000
and $0 for the three months ended March 31, 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.

Commitments and Contingencies
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 March 31, 2021, the Company does not have a
recorded liability for estimated losses. Legal costs are expensed
as incurred.

OVERVIEW
Crexendo
is an award-winning premier provider of cloud communications, UCaaS
(Unified Communications as a Service), call center, collaboration
services, and other cloud business services that are designed to
provide enterprise-class cloud services to any size business at
affordable monthly rates. The Company has two operating segments,
which consist of Cloud Telecommunications and Web
Services.
Cloud
Telecommunications – 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.
Our
Cloud Telecommunications service revenue increased 21% or $691,000
to $4,023,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2021 as compared
to $3,332,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2020. Our Cloud
Telecommunications product revenue decreased 3% or $11,000 to
$368,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2021 as compared to
$379,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2020. As of March 31,
2021 and 2020, our backlog was $27,766,000 and $26,583,000,
respectively.
Web Services
– We generate recurring revenue
from website hosting and other professional
services.
Our
Web Services revenue decreased 26% or $40,000 to $116,000 for the
three months ended March 31, 2021 as compared to $156,000 for the
three months ended March 31, 2020.

Three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to three months ended
March 31, 2020
Service revenue
Service
revenue consists primarily of fees collected for cloud
telecommunications services, professional services, interest from
sales-type leases, reselling broadband Internet services,
administrative fees, website hosting, and web management services.
Service revenue increased 19% or $651,000, to $4,139,000 for the
three months ended March 31, 2021 as compared to $3,488,000 for the
three months ended March 31, 2020. Cloud Telecommunications service
revenue increased 21% or $691,000, to $4,023,000 for the three
months ended March 31, 2021 as compared to $3,332,000 for the three
months ended March 31, 2020. Web service revenue decreased 26% or
$40,000, to $116,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2021 as
compared to $156,000 for the three months ended March 31,
2020.
Product Revenue
Product
revenue consists primarily of fees collected from the sale and
lease of desktop phone devices and third-party equipment. Product
revenue decreased 3% or $11,000, to $368,000 for the three months
ended March 31, 2021 as compared to $379,000 for the three months
ended March 31, 2020. Product revenue fluctuates from one period to
the next based on timing of installations. Our typical customer
installation is complete within 30-60 days. However, larger
enterprise customers can take multiple months, depending on size
and the number of locations. Product revenue is recognized when
products have been installed and services commence. Additionally,
product revenue can fluctuate due to the allocation of discounts or
sales promotions across the performance obligations.
Income/(Loss) Before Income Taxes
Income
before income taxes decreased 687% or $982,000, to a loss before
income taxes of $(839,000) for the three months ended March 31,
2021 as compared to income before income taxes of $143,000 for the
three months ended March 31, 2020. The decrease in income before
income tax is primarily due to an increase in operating expenses of
$1,643,000, offset by an increase in revenue of $640,000 and a
decrease in interest expense and other expense of $21,000. The
increase in operating expenses is primarily related to increases in
salaries and benefits, stock compensation expense and acquisition
related expenses. During the three months ended March 31, 2021 the
Company recognized $684,000 in one-time acquisition related
expenses associated with the NetSapiens and Centric Telecom
business acquisitions.
28
Income Tax Benefit/(Provision)
We
had an income tax benefit of $124,000 for the three months ended
March 31, 2021 compared to an income tax provision of ($3,000) for
the three months ended March 31, 2020. We had pre-tax income/(loss)
for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 of $(839,000)
and $143,000, respectively.
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.
In
our May 11, 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.
29
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.

Service Revenue
Cloud
Telecommunications service revenue consists primarily of fees
collected for cloud telecommunications services, professional
services, interest from sales-type leases, administrative fees, and
reselling broadband Internet services. Service revenue increased
21% or $691,000, to $4,023,000 for the three months ended March 31,
2021 as compared to $3,332,000 for the three months ended March 31,
2020. The increase in service revenue is due to an increase in
contracted service revenue and usage charges of $567,000, an
increase in fees, commissions, and other, recognized over time of
$56,000, an increase in one time fees, commissions and other of
$45,000, and an increase in sales-type lease interest of $23,000. A
substantial portion of Cloud Telecommunications service revenue is
generated through thirty-six to sixty month service
contracts.
31
Product Revenue
Product
revenue consists primarily of fees collected from the sale of
desktop phone devices and third-party equipment. Product revenue
decreased 3% or $11,000, to $368,000 for the three months ended
March 31, 2021 as compared to $379,000 for the three months ended
March 31, 2020. Product revenue fluctuates from one period to the
next based on timing of installations. Our typical customer
installation is complete within 30-60 days. However, larger
enterprise customers can take multiple months, depending on size
and the number of locations. Product revenue is recognized when
products have been installed and services commence. Additionally,
product revenue can fluctuate due to the allocation of discounts or
sales promotions across the performance obligations.
Backlog
Backlog
represents the total contract value of all contracts signed, less
revenue recognized from those contracts as of March 31, 2021 and
2020. Backlog increased 4% or $1,183,000 to $27,766,000 as of March
31, 2021 as compared to $26,583,000 as of March 31, 2020. Below is
a table which displays the Cloud Telecommunications segment revenue
backlog as of January 1, 2021 and 2020, and March 31, 2021 and
2020, which we expect to recognize as revenue within the next
thirty-six to sixty months (in thousands):

Cost of Service Revenue
Cost
of service revenue consists primarily of fees we pay to third-party
telecommunications carriers, broadband Internet providers, software
providers, costs related to installations, credit card processing
fees, shipping charges, customer support salaries and benefits, and
share-based compensation. Cost of service revenue increased 31% or
$295,000, to $1,240,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2021
as compared to $945,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2020.
The increase in cost of service revenue was primarily due to an
increase in salaries, wages and benefits of $194,000 as a result of
an increase in customer support and implementation specialist
headcount directly related to the increase in service revenue.
Bandwidth costs increased $75,000 directly related to the increase
in service revenue. Professional installation service costs
increased $16,000. As a result of the growth in monthly recurring
revenue, credit card processing fees increased $14,000. These
increases were offset by a decrease in other cost of service
revenue of $4,000.
Cost of Product Revenue
Cost
of product revenue consists of the costs associated with desktop
phone devices and third-party equipment. Cost of product revenue
increased 2% or $5,000, to $225,000 for the three months ended
March 31, 2021 as compared to $220,000 for the three months ended
March 31, 2020.
Research and Development
Research
and development expenses primarily consist of salaries and
benefits, share-based compensation, and outsourced engineering
services related to the development of new cloud telecommunications
features and products. Research and development expenses increased
30% or $79,000, to $341,000 for the three months ended March 31,
2021 as compared to $262,000 for the three months ended March 31,
2020. There was an increase in salaries, wages and benefits of
$57,000 as a result of an increase in headcount as we continue to
invest in our solution. We also incurred increased development
costs for maintenance on our customer user interface, our Android
and iPhone mobile phone applications, product testing, and Java
development of $22,000.
32
Selling and Marketing
Selling
and marketing expenses consist primarily of direct and channel
sales representative salaries and benefits, share-based
compensation, partner channel commissions, amortization of costs to
acquire contracts, travel expenses, lead generation services, trade
shows, internal and third-party marketing costs, the production of
marketing materials, and sales support software. Selling and
marketing expenses increased 20% or $203,000, to $1,241,000 for the
three months ended March 31, 2021 as compared to $1,038,000 for the
three months ended March 31, 2020. There was an increase in
increase in salaries, wages and benefits of $189,000 related to an
increase in headcount of sales reps and the addition of our chief
revenue officer. There was also an increase in commission expense
of $68,000 directly related to an increase in revenue. These
increases were offset by a decrease in travel and trade show
related expenses of $35,000, a decrease in sales lead generation
cost of $8,000, and a decrease in other sales and marketing expense
of $11,000.
General
and administrative expenses consist of salaries, benefits and stock
compensation for executives, administrative personnel, legal, rent,
equipment, accounting and other professional services, investor
relations, depreciation, amortization of intangibles, and other
administrative corporate expenses. General and administrative
expenses increased 93% or $1,044,000, to $2,161,000 for the three
months ended March 31, 2021 as compared to $1,117,000 for the three
months ended March 31, 2020. Consolidated general and
administrative expenses increased 90% or $1,066,000, to $2,254,000
for the three months ended March 31, 2021 as compared to $1,188,000
for the three months ended March 31, 2020. As Web Services segment
revenue has decreased and Cloud Telecommunications segment revenue
has increased, a higher percentage of general and administrative
costs are being allocated to the Cloud Telecommunications segment.
Therefore, we will discuss changes in our consolidated general and
administrative expenses. The increase in consolidated general and
administrative expenses is primarily due to an increase in
acquisition related legal, accounting, discretionary bonuses, and
other consultation and professional services of $684,000. There was
an increase in administrative salaries, wages and benefits of
$286,000 as a result of an increase in headcount and increased
salaries. We invested $72,000 in contractor costs, data center
equipment and office equipment for maintenance and improvements in
our data center and towards our disaster recovery failover
solution. There was an increase in intangible amortization of
$27,000 from the Centric Telecom business acquisition. The
increases were offset by a decrease in other general and
administrative expense of $3,000, which includes our Nasdaq listing
fee, telecommunications fees, depreciation, rent, legal fees and
other general and administrative expenses.
Other Income/(Expense)
Other
income/(expense) primarily relates to the allocated portions of
interest expense offset by credit card cash back rewards. Other
expenses increased 183%, or $11,000, to $17,000 for the three
months ended March 31, 2021 as compared to $6,000 of net other
expense for the three months ended March 31, 2020. The increase in
other expenses is related to our increase in interest expense of
$10,000 for interest paid on finance agreements and a decrease in
credit card cash back rewards of $1,000.

Service
Revenue
Service
revenue is generated primarily through website hosting and
professional web management services. Web Services segment revenue
decreased 26% or $40,000, to $116,000 for the three months ended
March 31, 2021 as compared to $156,000 for the three months ended
March 31, 2020. The decrease in service revenue is primarily due to
a decrease in hosting revenue of $28,000 and a decrease in
professional web management services of $12,000.
Cost of Service Revenue
Cost
of service revenue consists primarily of bandwidth, web domain
registration fees, customer service salaries and benefits,
temporary labor cost, and credit card processing fees. Cost of
service revenue decreased 24% or $6,000, to $19,000 for the three
months ended March 31, 2021 as compared to $25,000 for the three
months ended March 31, 2020. The decrease in cost of service
revenue is primarily related to a decrease in customer service
salaries, wages and benefits of $4,000, a decrease in web domain
registration fees of $1,000, and a decrease in credit card fees of
$1,000, directly related to the decrease in revenue.
Research and
Development
Research
and development expenses primarily consist of salaries and
benefits, and related expenses which are attributable to the
development of our website development software products. Research
and development expenses increased 13% or $1,000, to $9,000 for the
three months ended March 31, 2021 as compared to $8,000 for the
three months ended March 31, 2020 due to fluctuations in salaries,
wages and benefits.
General and Administrative
General
and administrative expenses consist of salaries, benefits and stock
compensation for executives, administrative personnel, legal, rent,
equipment, accounting and other professional services, investor
relations, depreciation, amortization of intangibles, and other
administrative corporate expenses. General and administrative
expenses increased 31% or $22,000, to $93,000 for the three months
ended March 31, 2021 as compared to $71,000 for the three months

expenses increased 90% or $1,066,000, to $2,254,000 for the three
months ended March 31, 2021 as compared to $1,188,000 for the three
months ended March 31, 2020. As Web Services segment revenue has
decreased and Cloud Telecommunications segment revenue has
increased, a higher percentage of general and administrative costs
are being allocated to the Cloud Telecommunications segment.
Therefore, we will discuss changes in our consolidated general and
administrative expenses. The increase in consolidated general and
administrative expenses is primarily due to an increase in
acquisition related legal, accounting, discretionary bonuses, and
other consultation and professional services of $684,000. There was
an increase in administrative salaries, wages and benefits of
$286,000 as a result of an increase in headcount and increased
salaries. We invested $72,000 in contractor costs, data center
equipment and office equipment for maintenance and improvements in
our data center and towards our disaster recovery failover
solution. There was an increase in intangible amortization of
$27,000 from the Centric Telecom business acquisition. The
increases were offset by a decrease in other general and
administrative expense of $3,000, which includes our Nasdaq listing
fee, telecommunications fees, depreciation, rent, legal fees and
other general and administrative expenses.
Other Income/(Expense)
Other
income/(expense) primarily relates to the allocated portions of
interest expense offset by credit card cash back rewards. Net other
income decreased 100% or $32,000, to $0 for the three months ended
March 31, 2021 as compared to $32,000 of net other income for the
three months ended March 31, 2020. The decrease in net other income
is due to a decrease in net foreign exchange gains of
$32,000.
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 product and
service sales to our customers. As of March 31, 2021 and December
31, 2020, we had cash and cash equivalents of $16,204,000 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, 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

$10,771,000 after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions.
The Company intends to utilize the proceeds to fund
acquisitions.
During
the three months ended March 31, 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.
During
the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Company entered into a
Merger Agreement to acquire NetSapiens, Inc. for approximately $50
million, consisting of (1) $10 million in cash, and (2)
approximately $40 million in the form of shares of the
Company’s common stock or Company options. The merger
consideration is subject to customary upward or downward

valued at $6.19 per share for common stock consideration of
approximately $19.3 million and approximately 4,438,321 options
with an aggregate value of $21.8 million, net of the aggregate
exercise price of $5.6 million, at the closing. The completion of
the Merger is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain
conditions, including: (i) the adoption of the Merger Agreement by
the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of all
outstanding shares of NetSapiens entitled to vote; (ii) the
approval of the issuance of the Merger Shares and the other matters
requiring stockholder approval for the consummation of the
Transactions by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority
of all outstanding shares of the Company entitled to vote thereon;
and (iii) the absence of governmental restraints or prohibitions
preventing the consummation of the Mergers.
Operating Activities
Cash
used in or provided by 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. Net cash used in operating
activities was $248,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2021,
compared to net cash used for operating activities of $288,000 the
three months ended March 31, 2020, a decrease of
$40,000.
The
net cash used for operations was primarily driven by our net loss
for the three months ended March 31, 2021 of $715,000, of which
$684,000 is associated with acquisition related expenses for the
Centric Telecom and NetSapiens business acquisitions. The net loss
was offset by $174,000 improvement in our outstanding account
receivable balance and $291,000 increase in accounts payable and
accrued liabilities balances from December 31, 2020.
Investing Activities
Net
cash used in investing activities was $2,192,000 for the three
months ended March 31, 2021 compared to net cash used in investing

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. For the three months ended March 31, 2020,
net cash used in investing activities related to cash used for
capital expenditures, primarily for the cash portion of the
purchase of the Company’s corporate office building. The
remaining $2,000,000 of the purchase price was financed through a
note payable with a bank.
Financing Activities
Net
cash provided by financing activities was $965,000 for the three
months ended March 31, 2021 compared to net cash provided by
financing activities of $71,000 for the three months ended March
31, 2020. Net cash provided by financing activities in the three
months ended March 31, 2021, primarily relates to cash received
from the exercise of stock options of $1,146,000 offset by the
payments of employee tax withholdings related to the net settlement
of stock options of $152,000. Net cash provided by financing
activities in the three months ended March 31, 2020, primarily
