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. The Company has two operating segments, which consist of cloud telecommunications services and software solutions.

 

Basis of PresentationThe consolidated financial statements include the accounts and operations of Crexendo, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries, which include Crexendo Business Solutions, Inc., NetSapiens, LLC, Crexendo Business Solutions of Virginia, Inc., NSHC, Inc., NetSapiens Canada, Inc., NetSapiens International Limited and Crexendo International, 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.

 

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 months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, we recorded foreign currency translation gains/(losses) of $9,000, and $0, respectively, in our statements of comprehensive income (loss).

 

Cash and Cash EquivalentsWe 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, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we had cash and cash equivalents in financial institutions in excess of federally insured limits in the amount of $4,979,000 and $6,573,000, respectively.

 

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

 

Allowance for Doubtful AccountsThe 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 AssetsContract 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 CostsContract 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 $1,588,000 and $1,345,000 at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, 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, 2022 and 2021, the Company amortized $261,000 and $122,000, respectively, and there was no impairment loss in relation to the costs capitalized.

InventoryFinished 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 EquipmentDepreciation 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

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 AcquisitionsPeriodically 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.

 

GoodwillGoodwill 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 AssetsOur intangible assets consist of customer relationships, developed technologies, trademarks and trade name. The intangible assets are amortized following the patterns in which the economic benefits are consumed or straight-line over the estimated useful life. 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 LiabilitiesOur 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 EstimatesIn 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.

 

ContingenciesThe 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 RecognitionRevenue 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 RevenueCost 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 RevenueCost 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.

 

Cost of Product RevenueCost 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 WarrantyWe 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 ConsiderationContingent 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.

Research and DevelopmentResearch 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 MeasurementsThe 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.

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

 

Stock-Based CompensationFor 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 months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021. No customer accounted for 10% or more of our total trade accounts receivable as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

 

Recently Adopted Accounting PronouncementsIn October 2021, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2021-08, Business Combinations (Topic 805)–Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers (“ASU 2021-08”). The amendments in this update require contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in a business combination to be recognized and measured by the acquirer on the acquisition date in accordance with Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, as if it had originated the contracts. Under the current business combinations guidance, such assets and liabilities are recognized by the acquirer at fair value on the acquisition date. The amendments in ASU 2021-08 are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2022, with early adoption permitted. We adopted this guidance in October 2021 an applied the amendment to all business combinations that occurred during the year ended December 31, 2021.

 

In December 2019, the 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.

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 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.

Table of Contents

 

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.

 

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.

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, 2022 and 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:

The acquisition was accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting and the operating results of NetSapiens have been included in our consolidated financial statements as of the closing date of the acquisition. Under the acquisition method of accounting, the aggregate amount of consideration paid by us was allocated to NetSapiens net tangible assets and intangible assets based on their estimated fair values as of the acquisition closing date. The excess of the purchase price over the value of the net tangible assets and intangible assets was recorded to goodwill. The factors contributing to the recognition of goodwill were based upon our conclusion that there are strategic and synergistic benefits that are expected to be realized from the acquisition. Goodwill, which is non-deductible for tax purposes, represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net tangible and intangible assets acquired and is primarily attributable to the customer relationships, developed technology, and trademark and trade name of the acquired business and expected synergies at the time of the acquisition.

 

We retained an independent third-party valuation firm to assist management in our valuation of the acquired assets and liabilities.

________________

(a) During the fourth quarter of 2021, we identified measurement period adjustments related to preliminary fair value estimates. The measurement period adjustments were due to the refinement of inputs used to calculate the fair value of the customer relationships, developed technology, and Trademarks and trade name intangible assets, with the assistance of an independent third-party valuation firm based on facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date. The adjustment to customer relationships, developed technology, and addition of trademarks and trade name intangible assets was a decrease in the fair value of the intangible asset of $420,000, and an increase to goodwill of $420,000. As a result of the adjustments to the provisional amounts and estimated useful lives of intangible assets, during the fourth quarter the Company recognized $59,000 less amortization expense in cost of software solutions, $98,000 additional amortization expense in sales and marketing, and $37,000 additional amortization expense in general and administrative in the current period related to the effects that would have been recognized in previous quarters if the measurement period adjustment was recognized as of the date of acquisition.

 

(b) During the fourth quarter of 2021, we identified measurement period adjustments related to preliminary fair value estimates. The measurement period adjustments were due to the delayed settlement of pre-acquisition liabilities resulted in an increase in opening balance sheet cash and accrued liabilities of $739,000, with no impact on goodwill.

 

(c) During the fourth quarter of 2021, we identified measurement period adjustments related to preliminary fair value estimates. The measurement period adjustments were due to revisions to our estimates for various assets acquired and liabilities assumed resulting in an increase of $9,000 to assets acquired and a increase in liabilities assumed of $147,000 and an increase to goodwill of $140,000.

(d) During the fourth quarter of 2021, we identified measurement period adjustments related to preliminary fair value estimates. The measurement period adjustments were due to the adoption of ASC 842, resulting in the reclassification of direct financing lease liabilities as operating lease liabilities, and an increase of $4,000 to the right to use assets balance and an increase of $1,000 to the operating lease liability and a decrease to goodwill of $3,000.

 

(e) During the fourth quarter of 2021, we identified measurement period adjustments related to preliminary fair value estimates. The measurement period adjustments were due to revisions to our preliminary estimate of contract liabilities, net of current portion, which were determined to be current liabilities and have been reclassified as current contract liabilities with no impact on goodwill.

 

(f) During the fourth quarter of 2021, we identified measurement period adjustments related to preliminary fair value estimates. The measurement period adjustments were due to the retroactive adoption of ASC 606, resulting in the recording of contract cost of $105,000, an increase to current and long-term accounts receivables of $170,000, an increase in contract liabilities of $103,000 and a decrease to goodwill of $172,000.

 

(g) During the fourth quarter of 2021, we identified measurement period adjustments related to preliminary fair value estimates. The measurement period adjustments were due to recording of a valuation allowance on the deferred tax assets of $2,829,000, and recording a deferred tax liability of $5,033,000 for the intangible assets acquired and a increase to goodwill of $7,862,000.

 

The fair values of the customer relationships, developed technology, and trademark and trade name were 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 customer relationships were valued using the multi-period excess earnings method. The 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 customer relationships, developed technology, and trademarks and trade names acquired are as follows: weighted average cost of capital of 11.0%, tax rate of 25.0%, and estimated economic life of 16 years.

 

The developed technology and trademarks and trade name were valued using the relief from royalty methodology. The relief-from-royalty method was used to value the developed technology and trademarks and trade name acquired from NetSapiens. The relief-from-royalty method estimates the cost savings that accrue to the owner of an intangible asset that would otherwise be required to pay royalties or license fees on revenues earned through the use of the asset. The royalty rate used is based on an analysis of empirical, market-derived royalty rates for guideline intangible assets. Typically, revenue is projected over the expected remaining useful life of the completed technology. The market-derived royalty rate is then applied to estimate the royalty savings. The key assumptions used in valuing the developed technology are as follows: royalty rate of 7%, discount rate of 11.0%, tax rate of 25% and estimated average economic life of 6 years. The key assumptions used in valuing the existing trademarks are as follows: royalty rate of 1.0%, discount rate of 11.0%, tax rate of 25% and estimated average economic life of 4 years.

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 and the operating results of Centric Telecom have been included in our consolidated financial statements as of the closing date of the acquisition. Under the acquisition method of accounting, the aggregate amount of consideration paid by us was allocated to Centric Telecom’s net tangible assets and intangible assets based on their estimated fair values as of the acquisition closing date. The excess of the purchase price over the value of the net tangible assets and intangible assets was recorded to goodwill. The factors contributing to the recognition of goodwill were based upon our conclusion that there are strategic and synergistic benefits that are expected to be realized from the acquisition. Goodwill, which is non-deductible for tax purposes, represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net tangible and intangible assets acquired and is primarily attributable to the customer relationships of the acquired business and expected synergies at the time of the acquisition.

(b) During the fourth quarter of 2021, we identified measurement period adjustments related to preliminary fair value estimates.

(c) During the fourth quarter of 2021, we identified measurement period adjustments related to preliminary fair value estimates. The measurement period adjustments were due to the adoption of ASC 842, resulting in an increase of $16,000 to the operating lease liability and an increase to goodwill of $16,000.

 

(d) During the fourth quarter of 2021, we identified measurement period adjustments related to preliminary fair value estimates. The measurement period adjustments were due recording a deferred tax liability of $534,000 for the intangible assets acquired and an increase to goodwill of $534,000.

 

The fair values of the customer relationships were 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.

The key assumptions used in valuing the customer relationships acquired are as follows: weighted average cost of capital of 14.0%, tax rate of 25.0%, and estimated economic life of 15 years.

 

Acquisition related expenses incurred by us in connection with the Centric Telecom acquisition of $67,000 for the year ended December 31, 2021, are recorded within general and administrative expenses in our consolidated statements of operations.

Income Taxes

 

Our effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 was (14.2%) and (14.8%), respectively, which resulted in an income tax benefit of $201,000 and $124,000, 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, 2021, 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, 2021 the Company has 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 $7,001,000 are realizable.

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 leased office space in McLean, Virginia under a non-cancelable operating lease agreement that expired on July 31, 2021. The operating lease contained customary escalation clauses. Rental expense for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 was approximately $0 and $17,000 respectively.

 

We currently lease office space in Reston, Virginia under a non-cancelable operating lease agreement that expires in 2025. The operating lease contains customary escalation clauses. Rental expense for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 was approximately $12,000 and $0, respectively.

 

We currently lease office space in La Jolla, California under a non-cancelable operating lease agreement that expires in 2022. The operating lease contains customary escalation clauses. Rental expense for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 was approximately $90,000 and $0, respectively.

 

We currently lease other assets under multiple operating leases. The leases expire on various dates through 2024 and the interest rates range from 2.81% to 13.00%. The expense is included in cost of product expenses and totaled approximately $18,000 and $11,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

 

We currently lease data center colocation space in Grand Rapids, Michigan, Las Vegas, Nevada and Dallas, Texas under non-cancelable operating lease agreements that expire in 2022. Rental expense for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 was approximately $39,000 and $0, respectively.

 

We have lease agreements with lease and non-lease components, and we account for the lease and non-lease components as a single lease component. Our lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants. The Company leases equipment and support under finance lease agreements which extends through 2026. The Company also leases three vehicles under financing agreements. One vehicle lease ended in 2021 and two vehicle leases extend through 2022. The outstanding balance for finance leases was $285,000 and $311,000 as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. The Company recorded assets classified as property and equipment under finance lease obligations of $486,000 and $486,000 as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. Related accumulated depreciation totaled $190,000 and $167,000 as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. The $40,000 in support contracts were classified as a prepaid expense and are being amortized over the service period of 3 years. One support contract expired in January 2021 and the other expires in June 2024. Amortization expense is included in general and administrative expenses and totaled $1,000 and $0 for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The interest rates on the finance lease obligations range from 1.37% and 15.74% and interest expense was $2,000 and $2,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

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 $59,000 and $43,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, 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, 2022, the Company does not have a recorded liability for estimated losses. Legal costs are expensed as incurred.

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):

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.

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.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

 

                To evaluate our business, we consider and use non-generally accepted accounting principles (“Non-GAAP”) net income/(loss) 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/(loss) 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, changes in fair value of contingent consideration 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, changes in fair value of contingent consideration 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 12, 2022 earnings press release, as furnished on Form 8-K, we included Non-GAAP net income/(loss), EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA. The terms Non-GAAP net income/(loss), 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/(loss), 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;

 

 
33

Table of Contents

 

 

·

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/(loss), EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA only as supplemental support for management’s analysis of business performance. Non-GAAP net income/(loss), 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.

Software Solutions Revenue

 

Software solutions revenue consists primarily of software license fees, subscription maintenance and support, and professional services. Software licenses are billed by the number of concurrent sessions a Partner has purchased or subscribes to. Subscription maintenance and support is ongoing and provides for software updates and improvements, support for add-on modules, bug fixes, and other general maintenance items. Professional services and other revenues consist of professional services such as the installation of software and integration of other modules, training and implementation as well as custom mobile branding.

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 March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we had cash and cash equivalents of $5,690,000 and $7,468,000, 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.

 

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.

 

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. The following table reflects our net cash used in operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2021:

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.

Inflation Risk

 

We do not believe that inflation has had a material effect on our business, financial condition, or results of operations. If our costs were to become subject to significant inflationary pressures, we may not be able to fully offset such higher costs through price increases. Our inability or failure to do so could harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

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 March 31, 2022 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
