Overview
eGain Corporation is a leading provider of cloud-based customer engagement software solutions. Our solutions help B2C businesses easily operationalize digital customer engagement strategies with reduced customer effort, joined-up service processes, improved compliance and incremental sales - across web, mobile, social, phone and in-person. We also provide advanced analytics capability to large, multi-site contact centers for intra-day resource measurement and management, boosting operational agility and agent productivity. Over three hundred global enterprises rely on eGain to transform fragmented customer interaction and customer service systems into unified Customer Engagement Hubs.
We have operations in the United States, United Kingdom, and India.
Industry Background
As products get commoditized in a global economy and a digital world, customer loyalty increasingly depends on customer engagement. For businesses that sell to consumers, or B2C companies, one poor customer experience can be amplified and spread overnight through social networks. Today’s digital consumers expect businesses to serve them conveniently and intelligently across traditional and new touch points. They are more demanding, and they spend more than the average customer. Not surprisingly, businesses are looking for efficient, scalable solutions to deliver smart customer experiences that are easy, quick and helpful.
Traditional customer relationship management, or CRM, solutions are not designed for the digital world. Mostly, they view the phone as the primary customer interaction channel. Digital channels like web, mobile and social are seen as secondary and are often not designed in the solution from the start. As a result, customer experience delivered through these platforms tends to be fragmented and inconsistent across channels. For instance, unified customer history across channels typically requires significant backend integration and user interface patchwork. Moreover, these CRM tools do not leverage the power of knowledge, AI and analytics to automate or optimize customer journey and agent capability.
The eGain Solution
Our solution is designed to make it easy for B2C businesses to do business with their customers. We provide our clients with the following benefits:
· |
Build profitable long-term customer relationships. Customers are spending more time conducting business on the web, mobile and social channels. Our solution helps businesses design brand-aligned, omnichannel customer journeys that are easy, quick and helpful. Whether a customer is looking to buy, ask a question, or pay a bill, our solution helps businesses provide customers personalized, guided and consistent responses. As a result, businesses improve their customer satisfaction and NPS scores. |
· |
Reduce operating costs through improved agent productivity and self-service automation. Our solution helps companies provide highly effective customer service while reducing operating costs. Intelligent routing, auto-response, tracking, and reporting features, complemented with agent-facing knowledge tools, measurably enhance the productivity of service agents. AI-based process guidance reduces time to competence for agents, while ensuring compliance with policy and regulation in consumer interactions. Robust customer self-service tools fronted by chatbots, guided by AI, and scaffolded with context-aware escalation paths reduce cost of service without compromising customer effort. |
· |
Increase revenue through intelligent offers and contextual promotions. Our solution also helps businesses convert more website visitors into buyers, reduce shopping cart abandonment and increase average order value. It enables agents to contextually up-sell and cross-sell products in the course of customer interactions. A visitor to a website using eGain can be proactively offered personalized promotions or real-time assistance, based on configurable business rules informed by visitor behavior and history. Visitors can collaborate with |

a customer service agent live over the web through click-to-call, text and video chat, and cobrowse to inquire about and buy a product. Customers calling into a service center can be offered powerful cross-sell offers by agents using AI-driven reasoning capability of eGain. |

Cloud Operations
We serve our customers and end users from several secure data centers worldwide. Physical security features at these facilities include 24x7 on-site security, three physical barriers and multiple access controls. The systems at these facilities are protected by firewalls and encryption technology. Operational redundancy features include redundant power, on-site backup generators, multiple carrier entrance facilities, and robust environmental controls and monitoring.
We employ a wide range of security features, including two-factor authentication, data encryption, encoded session identifications and passwords. We contract with specialized security vendors to conduct regular security audits of our infrastructure. We also employ outside vendors for 24x7 managed network security and monitoring. Every page we serve is delivered encrypted to the end user via a Secure Socket Layer, or SSL, transaction. We also use encryption in our storage systems and backup technology.
We continuously monitor the performance of our application suite using a variety of automated tools. We designed our infrastructure with built-in redundancy for all key components. Our network includes redundant firewalls, switches and intrusion detection systems, and incorporates failover backup for maximum uptime. We load balance at each tier in the network infrastructure. We also designed our application server clusters so that servers can fail without interrupting the user experience, and our database servers are clustered for failover. We regularly back up and store customer data both on and off-site in secure locations to minimize the risk of data loss at any facility.
Customers
We serve a worldwide customer base across a wide variety of industry sectors, including healthcare, retail, telecommunications, financial services, insurance, outsourced services, technology, utilities, government, manufacturing and consumer electronics. Our product is sold primarily to large B2C enterprises (over $500 million in annual revenue). For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016, international revenue accounted for 50% and domestic revenue for 50% of total
8
revenue, compared to 52% and 48%, respectively, for fiscal year 2015, and 45% and 55%, respectively, for fiscal year 2014.
There were two customers that accounted for 10% and 14%, respectively, of total revenue in fiscal year 2016. One customer accounted for 10% of total revenue in fiscal year 2015. Two customers accounted for 16% and 10%, respectively, of total revenue in fiscal year 2014.
Competition
We compete with other application software vendors including Genesys Telecommunications, Live Person, Inc., and Moxie Software, Inc. In addition, we face actual or potential competition from larger software companies such as Microsoft Corporation, Oracle Corporation, Salesforce.com, Inc., and Verint KANA. that may attempt to sell customer engagement software to their installed base. We also compete with internally developed applications within large enterprises. Finally, we face, or expect to face, competition from software vendors who may develop toolsets and products that allow customers to build new applications that run on the customers’ infrastructure or as hosted services.
We believe the principal competitive factors in our market include the following:
· |
proven track record of customer success |
· |
speed and ease of implementation |
· |
product functionality |
· |
financial stability and viability of the vendor |
· |
product adoption |
· |
ease of use and rates of user adoption |
· |
low total cost of ownership and demonstrable cost-effective benefits for customers |
· |
performance, security, scalability, flexibility and reliability of the service |
· |
ease of integration with existing applications |
· |
quality of customer support |
· |
availability and quality of implementation, consulting and training services |
· |
vendor reputation and brand awareness |
Sales and Marketing
Sales Strategy
Our sales strategy is to pursue targeted accounts, mostly B2C enterprises, through a combination of our direct sales force and partners. We target our sales efforts at enterprise companies. Our North American direct sales organization is based at our corporate headquarters in Sunnyvale, California, with field sales presence throughout the United States. Internationally, we have offices in India and the United Kingdom.
The direct sales force is organized into teams that include field sales representatives and sales consultants. Our direct sales force is complemented by lead generation representatives and sales development representatives.
We also complement our direct sales force with reseller and sales alliances. We believe we are able to leverage additional sales, marketing and deployment capabilities through these alliances.

Marketing and Partner Strategy
Our marketing strategy is to build our brand around innovative and robust products trusted by leading enterprises. Our marketing organization focuses on public relations, analyst relations, marketing communications and demand generation. We employ a wide range of marketing avenues to deliver our message, including print and Internet advertising, targeted electronic and postal mailing, email newsletters, and a variety of trade shows, seminars, webinars, and interest groups.
Our marketing group also produces sales tools, including product collateral, customer case studies, demonstrations, presentations, and competitive analyses. In addition, the group performs market analyses and customer reviews to identify and develop key partnership opportunities and product capabilities.
We believe that our partners help extend the breadth and depth of our product offerings, drive market penetration, and augment our professional service capabilities. We believe these relationships are important to delivering successful, integrated products and services to our customers, and scaling our business. Our partner portal, EcoNet™, enables us to provide comprehensive sales, support and services information for channel partners, while enabling them to collaborate with one another through an online forum. Partner enablement is a key focus area for our consulting and training teams too.
As of the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016, we had 110 employees engaged in worldwide sales and marketing activities.
Consulting and Education
Our worldwide professional services organization provides consulting and education services designed to facilitate customer success and build customer loyalty.
· |
Consulting Services. Our consulting services group offers rapid implementation services, custom solution development, and systems integration services. Consultants work with customers to understand their specific requirements, analyze their business needs, and implement integrated solutions. We provide these services independently or in partnership with system integrators who have developed consulting expertise on our platform. |
· |
Education Services. Our education services group provides a comprehensive set of basic and customized training programs to our customers and partners in addition to online tutorial modules for ongoing refresher courses. Training programs are offered either in-person at the customer site, or at one of our worldwide training centers. |
As of fiscal year ended June 30, 2016, we had 102 professionals providing worldwide services for systems installation, solutions development, application management, and education.
Customer Support
We offer a comprehensive collection of support services designed to rapidly respond to inquiries. Our technical support services are available to customers worldwide under maintenance agreements. The customer success team uses eGain’s own software suite to provide world-class service to all our customers through support centers located in California, the United Kingdom, and India.
As of the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016, there were 61 employees engaged in worldwide customer support services and 39 employees engaged in worldwide cloud services and maintenance support.
Research and Development
The market for our products changes rapidly and is characterized by evolving industry standards, swift changes in customer requirements, and frequent new product introductions and enhancements. We believe that strong product
10
development capabilities are essential to our strategy of maintaining technology leadership. This includes enhancing current technology, providing excellent quality, performance, and functionality, as well as developing additional applications, and maintaining the competitiveness of our product and service offerings.
We continuously analyze market and customer requirements and evaluate external technology that we believe will enhance our competitiveness, increase our lifetime customer value or expand our target market. As a result of this process, we acquired Exony Limited, a leader in enterprise contact center analytics software, in August 2014.
As of the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016, we had 143 employees engaged in worldwide product development activities. We spent approximately $16.1 million on research and development in fiscal year 2016, and $16.0 million and $10.0 million, respectively, in fiscal years 2015 and 2014.
Intellectual Property
We regard our intellectual property as critical to our success. We rely on intellectual property and other laws, in addition to confidentiality procedures and licensing arrangements, to protect the proprietary aspects of our technology and business.
As of June 30, 2016, we had six issued patents in the United States. In addition, we have a number of pending patent applications in the United States, including one provisional filing and several non‑provisional filings. Our issued U.S. patents expire at various times between 2029 and 2032.
We continually assess the propriety of seeking intellectual property protection for those aspects of our technology that we believe constitute innovations providing significant competitive advantages. Future applications may or may not receive the issuance of valid patents or registered trademarks.
We routinely require our employees, customers, and potential business partners to enter into confidentiality and nondisclosure agreements before we will disclose any sensitive aspects of our products, technology, or business plans. In addition, we require employees to agree to surrender to us any proprietary information, inventions or other intellectual property they generate or come to possess while employed by us. Despite our efforts to protect our proprietary rights through confidentiality and license agreements, unauthorized parties may attempt to copy or otherwise obtain and use our products or technology. These precautions may not prevent misappropriation or infringement of our intellectual property. In addition, some of our license agreements with certain customers and partners require us to place the source code for our products into escrow. These agreements typically provide that some party will have a limited, non-exclusive right to access and use this code as authorized by the license agreement if there is a bankruptcy proceeding instituted by or against us, or if we materially breach a contractual commitment to provide support and maintenance to the party.
Employees
As of the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016, we had 507 full-time employees, of which 143 were in product development, 202 in services and support, 110 in sales and marketing, and 52 in finance and administration.
None of our employees are covered by collective bargaining agreements. While we believe our relations with our employees are good, our future performance depends largely upon the continued service of our key technical, sales and marketing, and senior management personnel, none of whom are bound by employment agreements requiring service for a defined period of time.
Available Information
We were incorporated in Delaware in September 1997, and our website is located at www.egain.com. We make available free of charge on our website our annual reports on Form 10‑K, quarterly reports on Form 10‑Q, current reports on Form 8‑K and amendments to those reports, as soon as reasonably practicable after we electronically file or furnish such materials to the Securities and Exchange Commission. Our website and the information contained therein or connected thereto are not intended to be incorporated into this Annual Report on Form 10‑K.

The risks and uncertainties described below are not the only ones facing us. Other events that we do not currently anticipate or that we currently deem immaterial also may affect our results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.
Our business is influenced by a range of factors that are beyond our control and that we have no comparative advantage in forecasting. These include:
· |
general economic and business conditions; |
· |
currency exchange rate fluctuations; |
· |
the overall demand for enterprise software and services; |
· |
customer acceptance of cloud-based solutions; |
· |
governmental budgetary constraints or shifts in government spending priorities; and |
· |
general political developments. |
The global economic climate continues to influence our business. This includes items such as, a general tightening in the credit markets, lower levels of liquidity, increases in the rates of default and bankruptcy, and extreme volatility in credit, equity and fixed income markets. These macroeconomic developments negatively affected, and could continue to negatively affect, our business, operating results or financial condition which, in turn, could adversely affect our stock price. A general weakening of, and related declining corporate confidence in, the global economy or the curtailment in government or corporate spending could cause current or potential customers to reduce their technology budgets or be unable to fund software or services purchases, which could cause customers to delay, decrease or cancel purchases of our products and services or cause customers not to pay us or to delay paying us for previously purchased products and services.
Our hybrid revenue model may affect our operating results.
We have a hybrid delivery model meaning that we offer our solutions on a subscription or perpetual license basis to our customers. For perpetual license transactions, the license revenue amount is generally recognized in the quarter delivery and acceptance of our software takes place. For subscription transactions, the revenue is recognized ratably over the term of the contract, which is typically 12 to 36 months. As a result, our total revenue may increase or decrease in future quarters as a result of the timing and mix of license and subscriptions transactions. This variability in our revenue recognition may be exacerbated as more customers select our subscription solution over our perpetual licensed solution, causing us to increase the amount of revenue recognized ratably over the life of the contract and resulting in a decrease in our total revenue in the short-term.
Our revenue and operating results have fluctuated in the past and are likely to fluctuate in the future, and because we recognize revenue from subscriptions over a period of time, downturns in revenue may not be immediately reflected in our operating results.
Because we recognize recurring revenue and maintenance revenue ratably over the terms of the related subscription agreements and maintenance support agreements, most of our revenue each quarter results from recognition of deferred revenue related to agreements entered into during previous quarters. Consequently, declines in new or renewed subscription agreements and maintenance agreements that occur in one quarter will largely be felt in future quarters, both because we may be unable to generate sufficient new revenue to offset the decline and because we may be unable to adjust our operating costs and capital expenditures to align with the changes in revenue. In addition, our
12
subscription model makes it more difficult for us to increase our revenue rapidly in any period, because revenue from new customers must be recognized over the applicable subscription term. Furthermore, although our business model is primarily focused on recurring revenue, we anticipate continuing to recognize license revenue, particularly with international customers. License revenue is difficult to forecast and is likely to fluctuate due to many factors that are beyond our control including transition of license customers to recurring revenue models. Accordingly, we believe that period-to-period comparisons of our results of operations should not be relied upon as definitive indicators of future performance.
Other factors that may cause our revenue and operating results to fluctuate include:
· |
timing of customer budget cycles; |
· |
the priority our customers place on our products compared to other business investments; |
· |
size, timing and contract terms of new customer contracts, and unpredictable and often lengthy sales cycles; |
· |
reduced renewals; |
· |
competitive factors, including new product introductions, upgrades and discounted pricing or special payment terms offered by our competitors, as well as strategic actions by us or our competitors, such as acquisitions, divestitures, spin-offs, joint ventures, strategic investments or changes in business strategy; |
· |
technical difficulties, errors or service interruptions in our solutions that may cause customer dissatisfaction with solutions; |
· |
consolidation among our customers, which may alter their buying patterns, or business failures that may reduce demand for our solutions; |
· |
operating expenses associated with expansion of our sales force or business, and our product development efforts; |
· |
cost, timing and management efforts related to the introduction of new features to our solutions; |
· |
our ability to obtain, maintain and protect our intellectual property rights and adequately safeguard the information imported to our solutions or otherwise provided to us by our customers; and |
· |
extraordinary expenses such as impairment charges, litigation or other payments related to settlement of dispute. |
Any of these developments may adversely affect our revenue, operating results and financial condition. Furthermore, we maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of our customers to make required payments. In such cases, we may be required to defer revenue recognition on sales to affected customers. In the future, we may have to record additional reserves or write-offs, or defer revenue on sales transactions, which could negatively impact our financial results.
If we are unable to increase the profitability of our recurring revenue products and services, if we experience significant customer attrition, or if we are required to defer recognition of revenue, our operating results could be adversely affected.
We have invested, and expect to continue to invest, substantial resources to expand, market, and implement and refine our recurring revenue products and services offerings. Our business model shift to recurring revenues, and our subscription services in particular, has generally generated much lower gross margins than our traditional perpetual license sales. If we are unable to increase the volume of our subscription business to offset the lower margins, we may not be able to achieve sustained profitability.
13
In order to sustain or increase our recent operating profitability, we must improve gross margins in our recurring revenue product and services offerings. Factors that could harm our ability to improve our gross margins include:
· |
increased costs to license and maintain third party software embedded in our software applications or the cost to create or substitute such third party software if it can no longer be licensed on commercially reasonable terms; |
· |
our inability to maintain or increase the prices customers pay for our products and services based on competitive pricing pressures and general economic conditions limiting customer demand; |
· |
increased cost of third party services providers, including data centers for our cloud operations and professional services contractors performing implementation and technical support services to cloud customers; |
· |
customer contractual requirements that delay revenue recognition until customer implementations commence production operations or customer-specific requirements are met; |
· |
significant attrition as customers decide for their own economic or other reasons to not renew their subscription contracts when they are up for renewal could negatively impact the efficiency of our data centers and lead to the costs being spread over fewer customers negatively impacting gross margin; and |
· |
the inability to implement, or delays in implementing, technology-based efficiencies and efforts to streamline and consolidate processes to reduce operating costs. |
We cannot accurately predict subscription renewal or upgrade rates and the impact these rates may have on our future revenue and operating results.
Even though our subscription contracts are typically structured for auto-renewals, we do allow our customers to elect not to renew their subscriptions for our service after the expiration of their initial subscription period, which is typically 12 to 36 months, and some customers have elected not to renew. In addition, our customers may choose to renew for fewer subscriptions, renew for shorter contract lengths, or renew for lower cost editions of our service. We cannot accurately predict renewal rates given our varied customer base of enterprise and small and medium size business customers and the number of multiyear subscription contracts. Our renewal rates may decline or fluctuate as a result of a number of factors, including customer dissatisfaction with our service, decreases in customers’ spending levels, decreases in the number of users at our customers, pricing changes and deteriorating general economic conditions. If our customers do not renew their subscriptions for our service or reduce the number of paying subscriptions at the time of renewal, our revenue will decline and our business will suffer.
Our future success also depends in part on our ability to sell additional features and services, more subscriptions or enhanced editions of our service to our current customers. This may also require increasingly sophisticated and costly sales efforts that are targeted at senior management. Similarly, the rate at which our customers purchase new or enhanced services depends on a number of factors, including general economic conditions and that our customers do not react negatively to any price changes related to these additional features and services. If our efforts to upsell to our customers are not successful and negative reaction occurs, our business may suffer.
Our credit agreement contains restrictive and financial covenants that may limit our operational flexibility. Furthermore, if we default on our obligations under the credit agreement, our operations may be interrupted and our business and financial results could be adversely affected.
In November 2014, we entered into a credit agreement with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (“Wells Fargo”), under which Wells Fargo agreed to provide a term loan in the amount of $10.0 million (“Term”) and revolving loan to us in an amount not to exceed $10.0 million ("Revolver"), Term and Revolver (collectively, the “Loans”). In September 2015, we increased the maximum borrowing amount of the Revolver to $15.0 million. The Loans contain a number of restrictive covenants, and its terms may restrict our current and future operations, including:
· |
affecting our flexibility to plan for, or react to, changes in our business and industry conditions; |
· |
affecting our ability to use our cash flows, or obtain additional financing, for future working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions or other general corporate purposes; |
14
· |
placing us at a competitive disadvantage compared to our less leveraged competitors; and |
· |
increasing our vulnerability to the impact of adverse economic and industry conditions. |
In addition, if we fail to comply with the covenants or payment obligations specified in the Loans, we may trigger an event of default, in which case Wells Fargo would have the right to: (i) terminate its commitment to provide additional loans under the Loans, and (ii) declare all borrowings outstanding, together with accrued and unpaid interest and fees, to be immediately due and payable. In addition, Wells Fargo would have the right to proceed against the Loans collateral, which consists of substantially all our assets. If the debt under the Loans were to be accelerated, we may not have sufficient cash or be able to sell sufficient collateral to repay this debt, which would have an immediate material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
Our lengthy sales cycles and the difficulty in predicting timing of sales or delays may impair our operating results.
The long sales cycle for our products may cause license and subscription revenue and operating results to vary significantly from period to period. The sales cycle for our products can be six months or more and varies substantially from customer to customer. Because we sell complex and deeply integrated solutions, it can take many months of customer education to secure sales. Because our potential customers may evaluate our products before, if ever, executing definitive agreements, we may incur substantial expenses and spend significant management and legal effort in connection with the potential customer.
Our multi-product offering and the increasingly complex needs of our customers contribute to a longer and unpredictable sales cycle. Consequently, we often face difficulty predicting the quarter in which expected sales will actually occur. This contributes to the uncertainty and fluctuations in our future operating results. In particular, the corporate decision-making and approval process of our customers and potential customers has become more complicated. This has caused our average sales cycle to further increase and, in some cases, has prevented the closure of sales that we believed were likely to close. In addition, historically our license sales have comprised a relatively small number of high value transactions; consequently, we may miss our revenue forecasts and may incur expenses that are not offset by corresponding revenue from the delay in even one transaction.
We may need additional capital, and raising such additional capital may be difficult or impossible and will likely significantly dilute existing stockholders.
We believe that existing capital resources will enable us to maintain current and planned operations for the next 12 months. However, our working capital requirements in the foreseeable future are subject to numerous risks and will depend on a variety of factors, in particular, whether we maintain or exceed the level of revenue achieved as of June 30, 2016 and that customers continue to pay on a timely basis. We may need to secure additional financing due to unforeseen or unanticipated market conditions. We may try to raise additional funds through public or private financings, strategic relationships, or other arrangements. Such financing may be difficult to obtain on terms acceptable to us, if at all. If we succeed in raising additional funds through the issuance of equity or convertible securities, then the issuance could result in substantial dilution to existing stockholders. If we raise additional funds through the issuance of debt securities or preferred stock, these new securities would have rights, preferences, and privileges senior to those of the holders of our common stock. The terms of these securities could impose restrictions on our operations.
Because we depend on a relatively small number of customers for a substantial portion of our revenue, the loss of any of these customers or our failure to attract new significant customers could adversely impact our revenue and harm our business.
We have in the past and expect in the future to derive a substantial portion of our revenue from sales to a relatively small number of customers. The composition of these customers has varied in the past, and we expect that it will continue to vary over time. The loss of any significant customer or a decline in business with any significant customer would materially and adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.
15
As we acquire companies or technologies, we may not realize the expected business benefits, the acquisitions could prove difficult to integrate, disrupt our business, dilute stockholder value and adversely affect our operations.
As part of our business strategy, we periodically make investments in, or acquisitions of, complementary businesses, joint ventures, services and technologies and intellectual property rights, and we expect that we will continue to make such investments and acquisitions in the future. In August 2014, we acquired Exony Ltd. Acquisitions and investments involve numerous risks, including:
· |
the potential failure to achieve the expected benefits of the combination or acquisition; |
· |
difficulties in and the cost of integrating operations, technologies, services and personnel; |
· |
diversion of financial and managerial resources from existing operations; |
· |
risks of entering new markets in which we have little or no experience or where competitors may have stronger market positions; |
· |
potential write-offs of acquired assets or investments, and potential financial and credit risks associated with acquired customers; |
· |
potential loss of key employees; |
· |
inability to generate sufficient revenue to offset acquisition or investment costs; |
· |
the inability to maintain relationships with customers and partners of the acquired business; |
· |
the difficulty of transitioning the acquired technology onto our existing platforms and maintaining the security standards consistent with our other services for such technology; |
· |
potential unknown liabilities associated with the acquired businesses; |
· |
unanticipated expenses related to acquired technology and its integration into existing technology; |
· |
negative impact to our results of operations because of the depreciation and amortization of amounts related to acquired intangible assets, fixed assets and deferred compensation, and the loss of acquired deferred revenue and unbilled deferred revenue; |
· |
delays in customer purchases due to uncertainty related to any acquisition; |
· |
the need to implement controls, procedures and policies at the acquired company; |
· |
challenges caused by distance, language and cultural differences; |
· |
in the case of foreign acquisitions, the challenges associated with integrating operations across different cultures and languages and any currency and regulatory risks associated with specific countries; and |
· |
the tax effects of any such acquisitions. |
In addition, if we finance acquisitions by issuing equity or convertible or other debt securities or loans, our existing stockholders may be diluted, or we could face constraints related to the terms of repayment obligations related to the incurrence of indebtedness which could affect the market price of our common stock. Further, if we fail to evaluate and execute acquisitions or investments effectively, our business operations and prospects may be seriously harmed.
We must compete successfully in our market segment.
The market for customer engagement software is intensely competitive. Other than product innovation and existing customer relationships, there are no substantial barriers to entry in this market, and established or new entities may enter this market in the future. While software internally developed by enterprises represents indirect competition, we also compete directly with packaged application software vendors, including Avaya, Inc., Genesys Telecommunications, LivePerson, Inc., and Moxie Software, Inc. In addition, we face actual or potential competition from larger software companies such as Microsoft Corporation, Oracle Corporation, Salesforce.com, Inc. and similar companies that may attempt to sell customer engagement software to their installed base.
16
We believe competition will continue to be fierce as current competitors increase the sophistication of their offerings and as new participants enter the market. Many of our current and potential competitors have longer operating histories, larger customer bases, broader brand recognition, and significantly greater financial, marketing and other resources. With more established and better-financed competitors, these companies may be able to undertake more extensive marketing campaigns, adopt more aggressive pricing policies, and make more attractive offers to businesses to induce them to use their products or services.
If we fail to expand and improve our sales performance and marketing activities, we may be unable to grow our business, negatively impacting our operating results and financial condition.
Expansion and growth of our business is dependent on our ability to expand our sales force and on the ability of our sales force to increase sales. If we are not able to effectively develop and maintain awareness of our products in a cost-effective manner, we may not achieve widespread acceptance of our existing and future products. This may result in a failure to expand and attract new customers and enhance relationships with existing customers. This may impede our efforts to improve operations in other areas of the Company and may result in declines in the market price of our common stock.
Due to the complexity of our customer engagement hub platform and related products and services, we must utilize highly trained sales personnel to educate prospective customers regarding the use and benefits of our products and services as well as provide effective customer support. If we have turnover in our sales and marketing teams, we may not be able to successfully compete with those of our competitors.
Our failure to develop and expand strategic and third party distribution channels would impede our revenue growth.
Our success and future growth depends in part upon the skills, experience, performance and continued service of our distribution partners, including software and hardware vendors and resellers. We engage with distribution partners in a number of ways, including assisting us to identify prospective customers, to distribute our products in geographies where we do not have a physical presence and to distribute our products where they are considered complementary to other third party products distributed by the partner. We believe that our future success depends in part upon our ability to develop and expand strategic, long term and profitable partnerships and reseller relationships. If we are unable to do so, or if any existing or future distribution partners fail to successfully market, resell, implement or support our products for their customers, or if distribution partners represent multiple providers and devote greater resources to market, resell, implement and support competing products and services, our future revenue growth could be impeded. Our failure to develop and expand relationships with systems integrators could harm our business.
We sometimes rely on system integrators to recommend our products to their customers and to install and support our products for their customers. We likewise depend on broad market acceptance by these system integrators of our product and service offerings. Our agreements generally do not prohibit competitive offerings and system integrators may develop market or recommend software applications that compete with our products. Moreover, if these firms fail to implement our products successfully for their customers, we may not have the resources to implement our products on the schedule required by their customers. To the extent we devote resources to these relationships and the partnerships do not proceed as anticipated or provide revenue or other results as anticipated, our business may be harmed. Once partnerships are forged, there can be no guarantee that such relationships will be renewed in the future or available on acceptable terms. If we lose strategic third party relationships, fail to renew or develop new relationships, or fail to fully exploit revenue opportunities within such relationships, our results of operations and future growth may suffer.
Our international operations involve various risks.
We derived 50% of our revenue from international sales for the fiscal year 2016 compared to 52% for the fiscal year 2015, and 45% for fiscal year 2014. Including those discussed above, our international sales operations are subject to a number of specific risks, such as:
17
· |
general economic conditions in each country or region in which we do or plan to do business; |
· |
foreign currency fluctuations and imposition of exchange controls; |
· |
expenses associated with complying with differing technology standards and language translation issues; |
· |
difficulty and costs in staffing and managing our international operations; |
· |
difficulties in collecting accounts receivable and longer collection periods; |
· |
health or similar issues, such as a pandemic or epidemic; |
· |
various trade restrictions and tax consequences; |
· |
hostilities in various parts of the world; and |
· |
reduced intellectual property protections in some countries. |
As of June 30, 2016, approximately 43% of our workforce was employed in India. Of these employees, 34% are allocated to research and development. Although the movement of certain operations internationally was principally motivated by cost cutting, the continued management of these remote operations requires significant management attention and financial resources that could adversely affect our operating performance. In addition, with the significant increase in the numbers of foreign businesses that have established operations in India, the competition to attract and retain employees there has increased significantly. As a result of the increased competition for skilled workers, we experienced increased compensation costs and expect these costs to increase in the future. Our reliance on our workforce in India makes us particularly susceptible to disruptions in the business environment in that region. In particular, sophisticated telecommunications links, high-speed data communications with other eGain offices and customers, and overall consistency and stability of our business infrastructure are vital to our day-to-day operations, and any impairment of such infrastructure will cause our financial condition and results to suffer. The maintenance of stable political relations between the United States, European Union and India are also of great importance to our operations.
Any of these risks could have a significant impact on our product development, customer support, or professional services. To the extent the benefit of maintaining these operations abroad does not exceed the expense of establishing and maintaining such activities, our operating results and financial condition will suffer.
Difficulties in implementing our products could harm our revenue and margins.
We generally recognize license or subscription revenue from a customer sale when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the product or access to the product has been delivered, the arrangement does not involve significant customization of the software, the license or subscription fee is fixed or determinable and collection of the fee is probable. If an arrangement requires significant customization or implementation services from us, recognition of the associated license or subscription and service revenue could be delayed. The timing of the commencement and completion of these services is subject to factors that may be beyond our control, as this process may require access to the customer’s facilities and coordination with the customer’s personnel after delivery of the software. In addition, customers could cancel or delay product implementations. Implementation typically involves working with sophisticated software, computing and communications systems. If we experience difficulties with implementation or do not meet project milestones in a timely manner, we could be obligated to devote more customer support, engineering and other resources to a particular project. Some customers may also require us to develop customized features or capabilities. If new or existing customers cancel or have difficulty deploying our products or require significant amounts of our professional services, support, or customized features, revenue recognition could be cancelled or further delayed and our costs could increase, causing increased variability in our operating results.
Our reserves may be insufficient to cover receivables we are unable to collect.
18
We assume a certain level of credit risk with our customers in order to do business. Conditions affecting any of our customers could cause them to become unable or unwilling to pay us in a timely manner, or at all, for products or services we have already provided them. In the past, we have experienced collection delays from certain customers, and we cannot predict whether we will continue to experience similar or more severe delays in the future. Although we have established reserves to cover losses due to delays or inability to pay, there can be no assurance that such reserves will be sufficient to cover our losses. If losses due to delays or inability to pay are greater than our reserves, it could harm our business, operating results and financial condition.
We may be subject to legal liability and/or negative publicity for the services provided to consumers via our technology platforms.
Our technology platforms enable representatives of our customers as well as individual service providers to communicate with consumers and other persons seeking information or advice on the Internet. The law relating to the liability of online platform providers such as us for the activities of users of their online platforms is often challenged in the U.S. and internationally. We may be unable to prevent users of our technology platforms from providing negligent, unlawful or inappropriate advice, information or content via our technology platforms, or from behaving in an unlawful manner, and we may be subject to allegations of civil or criminal liability for negligent, fraudulent, unlawful or inappropriate activities carried out by users of our technology platforms.
Claims could be made against online services companies under both U.S. and foreign law such as fraud, defamation, libel, invasion of privacy, negligence, copyright or trademark infringement, or other theories based on the nature and content of the materials disseminated by users of our technology platforms. In addition, domestic and foreign legislation has been proposed that could prohibit or impose liability for the transmission over the Internet of certain types of information. Our defense of any of these actions could be costly and involve significant time and attention of our management and other resources.
The Digital Millennium Copyright Act, or DMCA, is intended, among other things, to reduce the liability of online service providers for listing or linking to third party web properties that include materials that infringe copyrights or rights of others. Additionally, portions of The Communications Decency Act, or CDA, are intended to provide statutory protections to online service providers who distribute third party content. A safe harbor for copyright infringement is also available under the DMCA to certain online service providers that provide specific services, if the providers take certain affirmative steps as set forth in the DMCA. Important questions regarding the safe harbor under the DMCA and the CDA have yet to be litigated, and we cannot guarantee that we will meet the safe harbor requirements of the DMCA or of the CDA. If we are not covered by a safe harbor, for any reason, we could be exposed to claims, which could be costly and time-consuming to defend.
Unplanned system interruptions and capacity constraints and failure to effect efficient transmission of customer communications and data over the Internet could harm our business and reputation.
Our customers have in the past experienced some interruptions with eGain cloud operations. We believe that these interruptions will continue to occur from time to time. These interruptions could be due to hardware and operating system failures. As a result, our business will suffer if we experience frequent or long system interruptions that result in the unavailability or reduced performance of our hosted operations or reduce our ability to provide remote management services. We expect to experience occasional temporary capacity constraints due to sharply increased traffic or other Internet-wide disruptions, which may cause unanticipated system disruptions, slower response times, impaired quality, and degradation in levels of customer service. If this were to continue to happen, our business and reputation could be seriously harmed.
The growth in the use of the Internet has caused interruptions and delays in accessing the Internet and transmitting data over the Internet. Interruptions also occur due to systems burdens brought on by unsolicited bulk email or “Spam,” malicious service attacks and hacking into operating systems, viruses, worms and a “Trojan” horse, the proliferation of which is beyond our control and may seriously impact our and our customers’ businesses.
19
Because we provide cloud-based software, interruptions or delays in Internet transmissions will harm our customers’ ability to receive and respond to online interactions. Therefore, our market depends on ongoing improvements being made to the entire Internet infrastructure to alleviate overloading and congestion.
Our success largely depends on the efficient and uninterrupted operation of our computer and communications hardware and network systems. A significant amount of our computer and communications systems are located in Sunnyvale, California. Due to our location, our systems and operations are vulnerable to damage or interruption from fire, earthquake, power loss, telecommunications failure and similar events. Customer data that we store in third party data centers may also be vulnerable to damage or interruption from floods, fires, power loss, telecommunications failures and similar events. Any damage to, or failure of, our systems generally could result in interruptions in our service. Interruptions in our service may reduce our revenue, cause us to issue credits or pay penalties, cause customers to terminate their subscriptions and adversely affect our renewal rate and our ability to attract new customers.
We do maintain a business continuity plan for our customers in the event of an outage. We maintain other co-locations for the purposes of disaster recovery as well as maintaining backups of our customer’s information. We provide premium disaster recovery and standard disaster recovery to our customers. If a customer opts not to pay for premium disaster recovery, we will only assure that their data is available within 72 hours. This delay could cause severe disruptions to our customers’ customers and may result in customer termination of our solutions. Our premium disaster recovery service provides for an alternative data center and a return to operations within one business day.
We have entered into service agreements with some of our customers that require minimum performance standards, including standards regarding the availability and response time of our remote management services. If we fail to meet these standards, our customers could terminate their relationships with us, and we could be subject to contractual refunds and service credits to, and exposure to claims for losses by, customers. Any unplanned interruption of services may harm our ability to attract and retain customers.
If our security measures are breached and unauthorized access is obtained to a customer’s data or our data or our IT systems, our service may be perceived as not being secure, customers may curtail or stop using our service and we may incur significant legal and financial exposure and liabilities.
Our service involves the storage and transmission of customers’ proprietary information, and security breaches could expose us to a risk of loss of this information, litigation and possible liability. These security measures may be breached as a result of third-party action, including intentional misconduct by computer hackers, employee error, malfeasance or otherwise and result in someone obtaining unauthorized access to our customers’ data or our data, including our intellectual property and other confidential business information, or our IT systems. Additionally, third parties may attempt to fraudulently induce employees or customers into disclosing sensitive information such as user names, passwords or other information in order to gain access to our customers’ data or our data or IT systems. Because the techniques used to obtain unauthorized access, or to sabotage systems, change frequently and generally are not recognized until launched against a target, we may be unable to anticipate these techniques or to implement adequate preventative measures. In addition, our customers may authorize third party access to their customer data located in our cloud environment. Because we do not control the transmissions between customer authorized third parties, or the processing of such data by customer authorized third parties, we cannot ensure the integrity or security of such transmissions or processing. Any security breach could result in a loss of confidence in the security of our service, damage our reputation, negatively impact our future sales, disrupt our business and lead to legal liability.
The terms we agree to in our Service Level Agreements or other contracts may result in increased costs or liabilities, which would in turn affect our results of operations.
Our Service Level Agreements (“SLAs”) provides for service credits for system unavailability, and in some cases, indemnities for loss, damage or costs resulting from use of our system. If we were required to provide any of these in a material way, our results of operations would suffer.
We have been and may in the future be sued by third parties for various claims including alleged infringement of proprietary rights.
20
We are involved in various legal matters arising from the normal course of business activities. These may include claims, suits, and other proceedings involving alleged infringement of third-party patents and other intellectual property rights, and commercial, labor and employment, and other matters.
The software and Internet industries are characterized by the existence of a large number of patents, trademarks and copyrights and by frequent litigation based on allegations of infringement or other violations of intellectual property rights. We have received in the past and may receive in the future communications from third parties claiming that we or our customers have infringed the intellectual property rights of others. In addition we have been, and may in the future be, sued by third parties for alleged infringement of their claimed proprietary rights. Our technologies and those of our customers may be subject to injunction if they are found to infringe the rights of a third party or we may be required to pay damages, or both. Many of our agreements require us to indemnify our customers for third-party intellectual property infringement claims, which would increase the cost to us of an adverse ruling on such a claim.
The outcome of any litigation, regardless of its merits, is inherently uncertain. Any claims and lawsuits, and the disposition of such claims and lawsuits, could be time-consuming and expensive to resolve, divert management attention from executing our business plan, lead to attempts on the part of other parties to pursue similar claims and, in the case of intellectual property claims, require us to change our technology, change our business practices or pay monetary damages, or enter into short- or long-term royalty or licensing agreements.
Any adverse determination related to intellectual property claims or other litigation could prevent us from offering our service to others, could be material to our financial condition or cash flows, or both, or could otherwise adversely affect our operating results. In addition, depending on the nature and timing of any such dispute, a resolution of a legal matter could materially affect our future results of operation or cash flows or both.
We rely on trademark, copyright, trade secret laws, contractual restrictions and patent rights to protect our intellectual property and proprietary rights and if these rights are impaired, then our ability to generate revenue will be harmed.
If we fail to protect our intellectual property rights adequately, our competitors might gain access to our technology, and our business might be harmed. In addition, defending our intellectual property rights might entail significant expense. Any of our trademarks or other intellectual property rights may be challenged by others or invalidated through administrative process or litigation. While we have some U.S. patents and pending U.S. patent applications, we may be unable to obtain patent protection for the technology covered in our patent applications. In addition, our existing patents and any patents issued in the future may not provide us with competitive advantages, or may be successfully challenged by third parties. Furthermore, legal standards relating to the validity, enforceability and scope of protection of intellectual property rights are uncertain. Effective patent, trademark, copyright and trade secret protection may not be available to us in every country in which our service is available. The laws of some foreign countries may not be as protective of intellectual property rights as those in the U.S., and mechanisms for enforcement of intellectual property rights may be inadequate. Accordingly, despite our efforts, we may be unable to prevent third parties from infringing upon or misappropriating our intellectual property.
We might be required to spend significant resources to monitor and protect our intellectual property rights. We may initiate claims or litigation against third parties for infringement of our proprietary rights or to establish the validity of our proprietary rights. Any litigation, whether or not it is resolved in our favor, could result in significant expense to us and divert the efforts of our technical and management personnel.
Our failure or inability to develop non-infringing technology or license the proprietary rights on a timely basis would harm our business.
We may be subject to legal proceedings and claims from time to time in the ordinary course of our business, including claims of alleged infringement of the patents and other intellectual property rights of third parties. Our products may infringe issued patents that may relate to our products because patent applications in the United States are not publicly disclosed until the patent is issued, and hence applications may have been filed which relate to our software products. Intellectual property litigation is expensive, time consuming, and could divert management’s attention away
21
from running our business. This litigation could also require us to develop non-infringing technology or enter into royalty or license agreements. These royalty or license agreements, if required, may not be available on acceptable terms, if at all, in the event of a successful claim of infringement.
Software errors could be costly and time-consuming for us to correct, and could harm our reputation and impair our ability to sell our solutions.
Our solutions are based on complex software that may contain errors, or "bugs," that could be costly to correct, harm our reputation and impair our ability to sell our solutions to new customers. Moreover, customers relying on our solution may be more sensitive to such errors, and potential security vulnerabilities and business interruptions for these applications. If we incur substantial costs to correct any errors of this nature, our operating margins could be adversely affected. Because our customers depend on our solutions for critical business functions, any service interruptions could result in lost or delayed market acceptance and lost sales, higher service-level credits and warranty costs, diversion of development resources and product liability suits.
Our stock price has demonstrated volatility and continued market conditions may cause declines or fluctuations.
The price at which our common stock trades has been and will likely continue to be highly volatile and show wide fluctuations due to factors such as the following:
· |
concerns related to liquidity of our stock; |
· |
actual or anticipated fluctuations in our operating results, our ability to meet announced or anticipated profitability goals and changes in or failure to meet securities analysts’ expectations; |
· |
announcements of technological innovations and/or the introduction of new services by us or our competitors; |
· |
developments with respect to intellectual property rights and litigation, regulatory scrutiny and new legislation; |
· |
conditions and trends in the Internet and other technology industries; and |
· |
general market and economic conditions. |
Furthermore, the stock market has recently and in the past experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that have affected the market prices for the common stock of technology companies, regardless of the specific operating performance of the affected company. These broad market fluctuations may cause the market price of our common stock to decline.
Our insiders who are significant stockholders may control the election of our board and may have interests that conflict with those of other stockholders.
Our directors and executive officers, together with their affiliates and members of their immediate families, beneficially owned, in the aggregate, approximately 39% of our outstanding capital stock as of September 8, 2016, of which our Chief Executive Officer, Ashutosh Roy, beneficially owned approximately 32% as of such date. As a result of these concentrated holdings, Mr. Roy individually or together with this group has the ability to exercise significant control over most matters requiring our stockholders’ approval, including the election and removal of directors and the approval of significant corporate transactions.
Our offshore product development, support and professional services may prove difficult to manage or may not allow us to realize our cost reduction goals, produce effective new solutions and provide professional services to drive growth.
We use offshore resources to perform new product and services development and provide support and professional consulting efforts, which requires detailed technical and logistical coordination. We must ensure that our
22
international resources and personnel are aware of and understand development specifications and customer support, as well as implementation and configuration requirements and that they can meet applicable timelines. If we are unable to maintain acceptable standards of quality in support, product development and professional services, our attempts to reduce costs and drive growth through new products and margin improvements in technical support and professional services may be negatively impacted, which would adversely affect our results of operations. Outsourcing services to offshore providers may expose us to misappropriation of our intellectual property or that of our customers, or make it more difficult to defend intellectual property rights in our technology.
If we are unable to hire and retain key personnel, our business and results of operations would be negatively affected.
Our success will also depend in large part on the skills, experience and performance of our senior management, engineering, sales, marketing and other key personnel. The loss of the services of any of our senior management or other key personnel, including our Chief Executive Officer and co-founder, Ashutosh Roy, could harm our business. Additionally, an increase in attrition in the Indian workforce on which we rely for research and development would have significant negative effects on us and our results of operations. If we cannot hire and retain qualified personnel, our ability to expand our business would be impaired and our results of operations would suffer.
The U.S.-EU Safe Harbor Framework for the transfer of personally identifiable information, or PII, that we have relied upon has been overturned and the current legal framework’s uncertainty could expose us to risks of noncompliance and costs associated with compliance.
We have in the past relied on adherence to the U.S. Department of Commerce’s Safe Harbor Privacy Principles and compliance with the U.S.-EU and U.S.-Swiss Safe Harbor Frameworks as agreed to and set forth by the U.S. Department of Commerce, and the European Union and Switzerland, which established a means for legitimating the transfer of PII by U.S. companies doing business in Europe from the European Economic Area to the U.S. As a result of the October 6, 2015 European Union Court of Justice, or ECJ, opinion in Case C-362/14 (Schrems v. Data Protection Commissioner) regarding the adequacy of the U.S.-EU Safe Harbor Framework, the U.S. – EU Safe Harbor Framework is no longer deemed to be a valid method of compliance with restrictions set forth in the Data Protection Directive (and member states’ implementations thereof) regarding the transfer of data outside of the European Economic Area. In light of the ECJ opinion in Case C-362/14, we anticipate engaging in efforts to legitimize data transfers from the European Economic Area. We may be unsuccessful in establishing legitimate means of transferring data from the European Economic Area, we may experience hesitancy, reluctance, or refusal by European or multi-national customers to continue to use our services due to the potential risk exposure to such customers as a result of the ECJ ruling, and we and our customers are at risk of enforcement actions taken by an EU data protection authority until such point in time that we ensure that all data transfers to us from the European Economic Area are legitimized. We may find it necessary to establish systems to maintain EU-origin data in the European Economic Area, which may involve substantial expense and distraction from other aspects of our business. We publicly post our privacy policies and practices concerning our processing, use and disclosure of PII. Our publication of our privacy policy and other statements we publish that provide promises and assurances about privacy and security can subject us to potential state and federal action if they are found to be deceptive or misrepresentative of our practices.
Privacy concerns and laws, evolving regulation of cloud computing, cross-border data transfer restrictions and other domestic or foreign regulations may limit the use and adoption of our solutions and adversely affect our business.
Regulation related to the provision of services on the Internet is increasing, as federal, state and foreign governments continue to adopt new laws and regulations addressing data privacy and the collection, processing, storage and use of personal information. In some cases foreign data privacy laws and regulations, such as the European Union’s Data Protection Directive, and the country-specific regulations that implement that directive, also govern the processing of personal information. Further, laws are increasingly aimed at the use of personal information for marketing purposes, such as the European Union’s e-Privacy Directive, and the country-specific regulations that implement that directive. Such laws and regulations are subject to differing interpretations and may be inconsistent among jurisdictions. These and other requirements could reduce demand for our solutions or restrict our ability to store and process data or, in some cases, impact our ability to offer our services and solutions in certain locations.
23
In addition to government activity, privacy advocacy and other industry groups have established or may establish new self-regulatory standards that may place additional burdens on us. Our customers expect us to meet voluntary certification or other standards established by third parties, such as TRUSTe. If we are unable to maintain these certifications or meet these standards, it could adversely affect our ability to provide our solutions to certain customers and could harm our business.
The costs of compliance with and other burdens imposed by laws, regulations and standards may limit the use and adoption of our service and reduce overall demand for it, or lead to significant fines, penalties or liabilities for any noncompliance.
Furthermore, concerns regarding data privacy may cause our customers’ customers to resist providing the data necessary to allow our customers to use our service effectively. Even the perception that the privacy of personal information is not satisfactorily protected or does not meet regulatory requirements could inhibit sales of our products or services, and could limit adoption of our subscription solution.
Industry-specific regulation is evolving and unfavorable industry-specific laws, regulations or interpretive positions could harm our business.
Our customers and potential customers do business in a variety of industries, including financial services, the public sector, healthcare and telecommunications. Regulators in certain industries have adopted and may in the future adopt regulations or interpretive positions regarding the use of cloud computing and other outsourced services. The costs of compliance with, and other burdens imposed by, industry-specific laws, regulations and interpretive positions may limit customers’ use and adoption of our services and reduce overall demand for our services. For example, some financial services regulators have imposed guidelines for use of cloud computing services that mandate specific controls or require financial services enterprises to obtain regulatory approval prior to outsourcing certain functions. If we are unable to comply with these guidelines or controls, or if our customers are unable to obtain regulatory approval to use our service where required, our business may be harmed. In addition, an inability to satisfy the standards of certain voluntary third-party certification bodies that our customers may expect, such as an attestation of compliance with the Payment Card Industry (PCI) Data Security Standards, may have an adverse impact on our business. If in the future we are unable to achieve or maintain these industry-specific certifications or other requirements or standards relevant to our customers, it may harm our business.
In some cases, industry-specific laws, regulations or interpretive positions may also apply directly to us as a service provider. Any failure or perceived failure by us to comply with such requirements could have an adverse impact on our business.
We may need to license third-party technologies and may be unable to do so on commercially reasonable terms.
To the extent we need to license third-party technologies, we may be unable to do so on commercially reasonable terms or at all. In addition, we may fail to successfully integrate any licensed technology into our products or services. Third-party licenses may expose us to increased risks, including risks associated with the integration of new technology, the diversion of resources from the development of our own proprietary technology, and our inability to generate revenue from new technology sufficient to offset associated acquisition and maintenance costs. Our inability to obtain and successfully integrate any of these licenses could delay product and service development until equivalent technology can be identified, licensed and integrated. This in turn would harm our business and operating results.
Changes to current accounting policies could have a significant effect on our reported financial results or the way in which we conduct our business.
Generally accepted accounting principles and the related accounting pronouncements, implementation guidelines and interpretations for some of our significant accounting policies are highly complex and require subjective judgments and assumptions. Some of our more significant accounting policies that could be affected by changes in the accounting rules and the related implementation guidelines and interpretations include:
24
· |
recognition of revenue; |
· |
contingencies and litigation; and |
· |
accounting for income taxes. |
Changes in these or other rules, or scrutiny of our current accounting practices, or a determination that our judgments or assumptions in the application of these accounting principles were incorrect, could have a significant adverse effect on our reported operating results or the way in which we conduct our business.
We depend on broad market acceptance of our applications and of our business model.
We depend on the widespread acceptance and use of our applications as an effective solution for businesses seeking to manage high volumes of customer interactions across multiple channels, including Web, phone, email, print and in-person. While we believe the potential to be very large, we cannot accurately estimate the size or growth rate of the potential market for such product and service offerings generally, and we do not know whether our products and services in particular will achieve broad market acceptance. The market for customer engagement software is rapidly evolving, and concerns over the security and reliability of online transactions, the privacy of users and quality of service or other issues may inhibit the growth of the Internet and commercial online services. If the market for our applications fails to grow or grows more slowly than we currently anticipate, our business will be seriously harmed.
Furthermore, our business model is premised on business assumptions that are still evolving. Our business model assumes that both customers and companies will increasingly elect to communicate via multiple channels, as well as demand integration of the online channels into the traditional telephone-based call center. Our business model also assumes that many companies recognize the benefits of a hosted delivery model and will seek to have their customer engagement software applications hosted by us. If any of these assumptions is incorrect or if customers and companies do not adopt digital technology in a timely manner, our business will be seriously harmed and our stock price will decline.
We may be unable to respond to the rapid technological change and changing customer preferences in the online sales, marketing, customer service, and/or online consumer services industries and this may harm our business.
If we are unable, for technological, legal, financial or other reasons, to adapt in a timely manner to changing market conditions in the online sales, marketing, customer service and/or e-commerce industry or our customers’ or Internet users’ requirements or preferences, our business, results of operations and financial condition would be materially and adversely affected. Business on the Internet is characterized by rapid technological change. In addition, the market for online sales, marketing, customer service and expert advice solutions is relatively new. Sudden changes in customer and Internet user requirements and preferences, frequent new product and service introductions embodying new technologies, such as broadband communications, and the emergence of new industry standards and practices such as but not limited to security standards could render our services and our proprietary technology and systems obsolete. The rapid evolution of these products and services will require that we continually improve the performance, features and reliability of our services. Our success will depend, in part, on our ability to:
· |
enhance the features and performance of our services; |
· |
develop and offer new services that are valuable to companies doing business online as well as Internet users; and |
· |
respond to technological advances and emerging industry standards and practices in a cost-effective and timely manner. |
If any of our new services, including upgrades to our current services, do not meet our customers’ or Internet users’ expectations, our business may be harmed. Updating our technology may require significant additional capital expenditures and could materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.
25
If new services require us to grow rapidly, this could place a significant strain on our managerial, operational, technical and financial resources. In order to manage our growth, we could be required to implement new or upgraded operating and financial systems, procedures and controls. Our failure to expand our operations in an efficient manner could cause our expenses to grow, our revenue to decline or grow more slowly than expected and could otherwise have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition
We may engage in future acquisitions or investments that could dilute our existing stockholders, cause us to incur significant expenses or harm our business.
We may review acquisition or investment prospects that we believe may complement our current business or enhance our technological capabilities. Integrating any newly acquired businesses or their technologies or products may be expensive and time-consuming, and may not result in benefits to our business. To finance any acquisitions, it may be necessary for us to raise additional funds through public or private financings. Additional funds may not be available on terms that are favorable to us, if at all, and, in the case of equity financings, may result in dilution to our existing stockholders. We may not be able to operate acquired businesses profitably. If we are unable to integrate newly acquired entities or technologies effectively, our operating results could suffer. Future acquisitions by us could also result in large and immediate write-offs, incurrence of debt and contingent liabilities, or amortization of expenses related to goodwill and other intangibles, any of which could harm our operating results.
We may not be able to realize the benefits of offering the limited “Try & Buy” free version of our service
We offer a limited version of our subscription service to customers or potential customers free of charge (known as “Try & Buy”) in order to promote usage, brand and product awareness, and adoption, and we invest time and resources for such initial engagements without compensation from the customers. Some customers never enter into a definitive contract for our paid subscription service despite the time and effort we may have expended on such Try & Buy initiatives. To the extent that these customers do not become paying customers, we will not realize the intended benefits of this marketing effort, and our ability to grow our business and revenue may be harmed.
The uncertainty surrounding the implementation and effect of Brexit may cause increased economic volatility, affecting our operations and business
On June 23, 2016, voters in the United Kingdom (U.K.) approved an advisory referendum to withdraw membership from the European Union (E.U.), which proposed exit (referred to as Brexit) could cause disruptions to, and create uncertainty surrounding, our business in the U.K. and E.U., including affecting our relationships with our existing and future customers, suppliers and employees. As a result, Brexit could have an adverse effect on our future business, financial results and operations. The referendum is non-binding but if passed into law, negotiations would commence to determine the future terms of the U.K.’s relationship with the E.U., and there can be no assurance regarding the terms, timing or consummation of any such arrangements. The effects of Brexit will depend on any agreements the U.K. makes to retain access to E.U. markets either during a transitional period or more permanently. Brexit could lead to legal uncertainty and potentially divergent national laws and regulations as the U.K. determines which E.U. laws to replace or replicate. Further, uncertainty around these and related issues could lead to adverse effects on the economy of the U.K. and the other economies in which we operate. There can be no assurance that any or all of these events will not have a material adverse effect on our business operations, results of operations and financial condition.

In the ordinary course of business, we are involved in various legal proceedings and claims related to alleged infringement of third-party patents and other intellectual property rights, commercial, corporate and securities, labor and employment, wage and hour, and other claims. We have been, and may in the future be, put on notice and/or sued by third parties for alleged infringement of their proprietary rights, including patent infringement.
We evaluate all claims and lawsuits with respect to their potential merits, our potential defenses and counterclaims, settlement or litigation potential and the expected effect on us. Our technologies may be subject to injunction if they are found to infringe the rights of a third party. In addition, our agreements require us to indemnify our customers for third-party intellectual property infringement claims, which could increase the cost to us of an adverse ruling on such a claim.

Equity Compensation Plans Not Approved By Security Holders
2000 Non-Management Stock Option Plan
In July 2000, our board of directors adopted the 2000 Non-Management Stock Option Plan, which provides for the grant of non-statutory stock options and stock purchase rights to employees of eGain. A total of 200,000 shares of common stock were reserved for issuance under the 2000 Non-Management Stock Option Plan. This plan expired in July 2010 and there are no further options available to grant under the 2000 Plan.
2005 Management Stock Option Plan
In May 2005, our board of directors adopted the 2005 Management Stock Option Plan, or the 2005 Management Plan, pursuant to which the Compensation Committee may grant non-qualified stock options to purchase up to 962,400 shares of eGain common stock, at an exercise price of not less than 100% of the fair market value of such common stock,
30
to directors, officers and key employees of the Company and its subsidiaries. In September 2014, our board approved an increase in the number of shares of commons stock reserved for issuance by 1,000,000 and extended the expiration date of the of the 2005 Management Stock Option Plan to September 30, 2024.
In both November 2007 and September 2011, our board of directors approved an increase of 500,000 shares for issuance under the 2005 Management Stock Option Plan. In September 2014, our board of directors approved the amendment to the 2005 Management Stock Option Plan, which approved an increase in the number of shares of common stock reserved for issuance thereunder by 1,000,000 shares from 1,962,400 shares to 2,962,400 shares. Options granted under the 2005 Management Plan are subject to vesting as determined by the Compensation Committee. The options are exercisable for up to ten years from the date of grant.
Issuer Repurchases of Equity Securities
On September 14, 2009, we announced that our board of directors approved a repurchase program under which we may purchase up to 1,000,000 shares of our common stock. The duration of the repurchase program is open-ended. Under the program, we purchase shares of common stock from time to time through the open market and privately negotiated transactions at prices deemed appropriate by management. The repurchase is funded by cash on hand. There were no shares repurchased during fiscal years 2016 and 2015.

ITEM 7.MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion of eGain’s financial condition and results of operations should be read together with the consolidated financial statements and related notes in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. This discussion may contain forward-looking statements based upon current expectations that involve risks and uncertainties. These risks and uncertainties may cause actual results to differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements.
Overview
eGain was incorporated in Delaware in September 1997. We are a leading provider of cloud-based and on-site customer engagement solutions. For nearly two decades, our solutions have helped improve customer experience, grow sales, and optimize service processes across the web, social, and phone channels. Hundreds of global enterprises rely on us to transform fragmented sales engagement and customer service operations into unified customer engagement hubs.
In fiscal year 2016, we recorded annual revenue of $69.4 million and loss from operations of $5.9 million, compared to annual revenue of $75.9 million and a loss from operations of $11.3 million in fiscal year 2015. The year-over-year decrease in total revenue was primarily driven by the 21% decrease in license revenue and 21% decrease in professional services revenue. License revenue was $14.5 million in fiscal year 2016, compared to $18.3 million in fiscal year 2015. Subscription and support revenue was $42.8 million in fiscal year 2016, compared to $42.3 million in fiscal year 2015. Professional services revenue was $12.1 million in fiscal year 2016, compared to $15.3 million in fiscal year 2015. Cash provided by operations was $1.9 million for fiscal year 2016, compared to cash used in operations of $10.5 million for fiscal year 2015.
Unbilled Deferred Revenue
Unbilled deferred revenue represents business that is contracted but not yet invoiced or collected and off–balance-sheet and, accordingly, is not recorded in deferred revenue. As such, the deferred revenue balance on our consolidated balance sheet does not represent the total contract value of annual or multi-year, non-cancelable subscription agreements. As of June 30, 2016, unbilled deferred revenue increased to $31.1 million, up from approximately $26.5 million as of June 30, 2015.
Key Financial Measures
We monitor the key financial performance measures set forth below as well as cash and cash equivalents and available debt capacity, which are discussed in “Liquidity and Capital Resources,” to help us evaluate trends, establish budgets, measure the effectiveness of our sales and marketing efforts and assess operational effectiveness and efficiencies. These key financial performance measures include certain non-GAAP metrics, including Adjusted EBITDA as defined below. The presentation of the non-GAAP financial measures is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP).
Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, is defined as net income (loss), adjusted for the impact of purchase accounting adjustments to deferred revenue related to acquisitions, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation expense, interest expense, net, income tax (benefit) provision, amortization of acquired intangibles, acquisition-related expenses and severance and related charges.
Management believes that it is useful to exclude certain non-cash charges and non-core operational charges from Adjusted EBITDA because (1) the amount of such expenses in any specific period may not directly correlate to the underlying performance of our business operations and (2) such expenses can vary significantly between periods as a result of the timing of new stock-based awards and acquisitions.
The following table presents our key financial measures, including a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net income (loss) for each of the periods indicated:

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations discusses our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. On an on-going basis, management evaluates its estimates and judgments, including those related to revenue recognition, allowance for doubtful accounts, goodwill, intangibles, deferred tax valuation allowance, accrued liabilities, long-lived assets and stock-based compensation. Management bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form 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 these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
Business Combinations
Business combinations are accounted for at fair value under the purchase method of accounting. Acquisition costs are expensed as incurred and recorded in general and administrative expenses and changes in deferred tax asset valuation allowances and income tax uncertainties after the acquisition date affect income tax expense. The accounting for business combinations requires estimates and judgment as to expectations for future cash flows of the acquired business, and the allocation of those cash flows to identifiable intangible assets, in determining the estimated fair value for assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The fair values assigned to tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed are based on management’s estimates and assumptions, as well as other information compiled by management, including valuations that utilize customary valuation procedures and techniques. If the actual results differ from the estimates and judgments used in these estimates, the amounts recorded in the consolidated financial statements could result in a possible impairment of the intangible assets and goodwill, or require acceleration of the amortization expense of finite-lived intangible assets.
Revenue Recognition
We enter into arrangements to deliver multiple products or services (multiple-elements). We apply software revenue recognition rules and multiple-elements arrangement revenue guidance. Significant management judgments and estimates are made and used to determine the revenue recognized in any accounting period. Material differences may result in changes to the amount and timing of our revenue for any period if different conditions were to prevail. We present revenue net of taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities.
35
We derive revenue from three sources:
i. |
Subscription and support fees primarily consist of cloud revenue from customers accessing our enterprise cloud computing services, term license revenue, and maintenance and support revenue; |
ii. |
License fees primarily consist of perpetual software license revenue; |
iii. |
Professional services primarily consist of consulting, implementation services and training. |
Revenues are recognized when all of the following criteria are met:
· |
Persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists: Evidence of an arrangement consists of a written contract signed by both the customer and management prior to the end of the period. We use signed software license, services agreements and order forms as evidence of an arrangement for sales of software, cloud, maintenance and support. We use a signed statement of work as evidence of arrangement for professional services. |
· |
Delivery or performance has occurred: Software is delivered to customers electronically or on a CD-ROM, and license files are delivered electronically. Delivery is considered to have occurred when we provide the customer access to the software along with login credentials. |
· |
Fees are fixed or determinable: We assess whether the fee is fixed or determinable based on the payment terms associated with the transaction. Arrangements where a significant portion of the fee is due beyond 90 days from delivery are generally not considered to be fixed or determinable. |
· |
Collectibility is probable: We assess collectibility based on a number of factors, including the customer’s past payment history and its current creditworthiness. Payment terms generally range from 30 to 90 days from invoice date. If we determine that collection of a fee is not reasonably assured, we defer the revenue and recognize it at the time collection becomes reasonably assured, which is generally upon receipt of cash payment. |
We apply the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification, or ASC, 985-605, Software Revenue Recognition, to all transactions involving the licensing of software products. In the event of a multiple element arrangement for a license transaction, we evaluate the transaction as if each element represents a separate unit of accounting taking into account all factors following the accounting standards. We apply ASC 605, Revenue Recognition, for cloud transactions to determine the accounting treatment for multiple elements. We also apply ASC 605-35 for fixed fee arrangements in which we use the percentage of completion method to recognize revenue when reliable estimates are available for the costs and efforts necessary to complete the implementation services. When such estimates are not available, the completed contract method is utilized. Under the completed contract method, revenue is recognized only when a contract is completed or substantially complete.
When licenses are sold together with system implementation and consulting services, license fees are recognized upon shipment, provided that (i) payment of the license fees is not dependent upon the performance of the consulting and implementation services, (ii) the services are available from other vendors, (iii) the services qualify for separate accounting as we have sufficient experience in providing such services, have the ability to estimate cost of providing such services, and we have vendor specific objective evidence, or VSOE, of fair value, and (iv) the services are not essential to the functionality of the software.
We enter into arrangements with multiple-deliverables that generally include subscription, maintenance and support, and professional services. We evaluate whether each of the elements in these arrangements represents a separate unit of accounting, as defined by ASC 605, using all applicable facts and circumstances, including whether (i) we sell or could readily sell the element unaccompanied by the other elements, (ii) the element has stand-alone value to the customer, and (iii) there is a general right of return. We use VSOE, of fair value for each of those units, when available. For revenue recognition with multiple-deliverable elements, in certain limited circumstances when VSOE of fair value does not exist, we apply the selling price hierarchy, which includes VSOE, third-party evidence of selling price, or TPE, and best estimate of selling price, or BESP. We determine the relative selling price for a deliverable based on its VSOE, if available, or its BESP, if VSOE is not available. We determined that TPE is not a practical alternative due to differences in its service offerings compared to other parties and the availability of relevant third-party pricing information.
36
We determine BESP by considering our overall pricing objectives and market conditions. Significant pricing practices taken into consideration include our discounting practices, the size and volume of our transactions, the customer demographic, the geographic area where services are sold, price lists, its go-to-market strategy, historical standalone sales and contract prices. The determination of BESP is made through consultation with and approval by our management, taking into consideration the go-to-market strategy. As our go-to-market strategies evolve, we may modify its pricing practices in the future, which could result in changes in relative selling prices, including both VSOE and BESP.
Subscription and Support Revenue
Cloud Revenue
Cloud revenue consists of subscription fees from customers accessing our cloud-based service offerings. We recognize cloud revenue ratably over the period of the applicable agreement as services are provided. Cloud agreements typically have an initial term of 12 to 36 months and automatically renew unless either party cancels the agreement. The majority of the cloud services customers purchase a combination of our cloud service and professional services. In some cases, the customer may also acquire a license for our software.
We consider the applicability of ASC 985-605, on a contract-by-contract basis. In cloud-based agreements, where the customer does not have the contractual right to take possession of the software, the revenue is recognized on a monthly basis over the term of the contract. Invoiced amounts are recorded in accounts receivable and in deferred revenue or revenue, depending on whether the revenue recognition criteria have been met. We consider a software element to exist when we determine that the customer has the contractual right to take possession of our software at any time during the cloud period without significant penalty and can feasibly run the software on its own hardware or enter into another arrangement with a third party to host the software. Additionally, we have established VSOE for the cloud and maintenance and support elements of perpetual license sales, based on the prices charged when sold separately and substantive renewal terms. Accordingly, when a software element exists in a cloud services arrangement, license revenue for the perpetual software license element is determined using the residual method and is recognized upon delivery. Revenue for the cloud and maintenance and support elements is recognized ratably over the contractual time period. Professional services are recognized as described below under “Professional Services Revenue.” If VSOE of fair value cannot be established for the undelivered elements of an agreement, the entire amount of revenue from the arrangement is recognized ratably over the period that these elements are delivered.
Term License Revenue
Term license revenue includes arrangements where our customers receive license rights to use our software along with bundled maintenance and support services for the term of the contract. The majority of our contracts provide customers with the right to use one or more products up to a specific license capacity. Certain of our license agreements stipulate that customers can exceed pre-determined base capacity levels, in which case additional fees are specified in the license agreement. Term license revenue is recognized ratably over the term of the license contract.
Maintenance and Support Revenue
Maintenance and support revenue consists of customers purchasing maintenance and support for our on-premise software. We use VSOE of fair value for maintenance and support to account for the arrangement using the residual method, regardless of any separate prices stated within the contract for each element. Maintenance and support revenue is recognized ratably over the term of the maintenance contract, which is typically one year. Maintenance and support is renewable by the customer on an annual basis. Maintenance and support rates, including subsequent renewal rates, are typically established based upon a specified percentage of net license fees as set forth in the arrangement.
License Revenue
License revenue consists of perpetual license rights sold to customers to use our software in conjunction with related maintenance and support services. If an acceptance period is required, revenue is recognized upon the earlier of customer acceptance or the expiration of the acceptance period. In software arrangements that include rights to multiple software
37
products and/or services, we use the residual method under which revenue is allocated to the undelivered elements based on VSOE of the fair value of such undelivered elements. The residual amount of revenue is allocated to the delivered elements and recognized as revenue, assuming all other criteria for revenue recognition have been met. Such undelivered elements in these arrangements typically consist of software maintenance and support, implementation and consulting services and in some cases cloud services.
We periodically sell to resellers. License sales to resellers as a percentage of total revenue were approximately 19%, 15% and 11% in fiscal years 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Revenue from sales to resellers is generally recognized upon delivery to the reseller dependent on the facts and circumstances of the transaction. These include items such as our understanding of the reseller’s plans to sell the software, existence of return provisions, price protection or other allowances, the reseller’s financial status and our past experience with the reseller. Historically sales to resellers have not included any return provisions, price protections or other allowances.
Professional Services Revenue
Professional services revenue includes system implementation, consulting and training. For license transactions, the majority of our consulting and implementation services qualify for separate accounting. We use VSOE of fair value for the services to account for the arrangement using the residual method, regardless of any separate prices stated within the contract for each element. Our consulting and implementation service contracts are bid either on a fixed-fee basis or on a time-and-materials basis. Substantially all of our contracts are on a time-and-materials basis. For time-and-materials contracts, where the services are not essential to the functionality, we recognize revenue as services are performed. If the services are essential to functionality, then both the product license revenue and the service revenue are recognized under the percentage of completion method. For a fixed-fee contract, we recognize revenue based upon the costs and efforts to complete the services in accordance with the percentage of completion method, provided we are able to estimate such cost and efforts.
Under ASC 605-25, in order to account for deliverables in a multiple-deliverable arrangement as separate units of accounting, the deliverables must have standalone value upon delivery. For cloud services, in determining whether professional services have standalone value, we consider the following factors for each professional services agreement: availability of the services from other vendors, the nature of the professional services, the timing of when the professional services contract was signed in comparison to the subscription service start date and the contractual dependence of the subscription service on the customer’s satisfaction with the professional services work.
We determined at or around July 1, 2013 that we had established standalone value for consulting and implementation services. This was primarily due to the change in our business focus, the growing number of partners we trained and certified to perform these deployment services and the consequential sale of subscription services without bundled implementation service. Revenues earned from professional services related to consulting and implementation of a majority of our core subscription services are being accounted for separately from revenues earned from subscription services beginning July 1, 2013 when the standalone value was established for those professional services.
For those contracts that have standalone value, we recognized the services revenue when rendered for time and material contracts, when the milestones are achieved and accepted by the customer for fixed price contracts or by percentage of completion basis if there is no acceptance criteria. For cloud, consulting and implementation services that do not qualify for separate accounting, we recognize the services revenue ratably over the estimated life of the customer cloud relationship, once cloud has gone live or system ready. We estimate the life of these customer cloud relationship at the time the transactions occurred to be approximately 28 months, based on the then average life of all cloud customer relationships.
Training revenue that meets the criteria to be accounted for separately is recognized when training is provided.
Deferred Revenue
Deferred revenue primarily consists of payments received in advance of revenue recognition from cloud, term license, and maintenance and support services and is recognized as the revenue recognition criteria are met. We generally
38
invoice customers in annual or quarterly installments. The deferred revenue balance does not represent the total contract value of annual or multi-year, non-cancelable cloud or maintenance and support agreements. Deferred revenue is influenced by several factors, including seasonality, the compounding effects of renewals, invoice duration, invoice timing and new business linearity within the quarter.
Deferred revenue that will be recognized during the succeeding twelve-month period is recorded as current deferred revenue and the remaining portion is recorded as noncurrent. As of June 30, 2016, deferred revenue decreased to $15.7 million, compared to $15.8 million as of June 30, 2015.
Deferred Commissions
Deferred commissions are the direct and incremental costs directly associated with cloud contracts with customers and consist of sales commissions to our direct sales force.
The commissions are deferred and amortized over the terms of the related customer contracts, which are typically 12 to 36 months. The commission payments are paid based on contract terms in the month following the quarter in which the commissions are earned. The deferred commission amounts are recognized as sales and marketing expense in the consolidated statements of operations over the terms of the related customer contracts, in proportion to the recognition of the associated revenue.
Stock-Based Compensation
We account for stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation — Stock Compensation. Under the fair value recognition provisions of ASC 718, stock-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and is recognized as an expense over the vesting period. Determining the fair value of the stock-based awards at the grant date requires significant judgment and the use of estimates, particularly surrounding Black-Scholes valuation assumptions such as stock price volatility and expected option lives. We determine the appropriate measure of expected volatility by reviewing historic volatility in the share price of our common stock, as adjusted for certain events that management deems to be non-recurring and non-indicative of future events. We base our estimate of expected life on the historical exercise behavior, cancellations of all past option grants made by us during the time period in which our equity shares have been publicly traded, the contractual term, the vesting period and the expected remaining term of the option. Based on our historical experience of option pre-vesting cancellations, we have assumed an annualized 11.42% forfeiture rate for our options. We record additional expense if the actual forfeiture rate is lower than we estimated, and record a recovery of prior expense if the actual forfeiture is higher than what we estimated.
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
In accordance with ASC 350, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, we review goodwill annually for impairment or sooner whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that they may be impaired. These events or circumstances could include a significant change in the business climate, legal factors, operating performance indicators, competition, or sale or disposition of a significant portion of a reporting unit. In addition, we evaluate purchased intangible assets to determine that all such assets have determinable lives. We operate under a single reporting unit and accordingly, all of our goodwill is associated with the entire company. We performed annual impairment reviews for fiscal years 2016, 2015 and 2014 and found no impairment.
Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
We extend unsecured credit to customers on a regular basis. Our accounts receivable are derived from revenue earned from customers and are not interest bearing. We also maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts to reserve for potential uncollectible trade receivables. We review our trade receivables by aging category to identify specific customers with known disputes or collectability issues. We exercise judgment when determining the adequacy of these reserves as we evaluate historical bad debt trends, general economic conditions in the U.S. and internationally, and changes in customer financial conditions. If we make different judgments or utilize different estimates, then material differences may result in additional reserves for trade receivables, which would be reflected by charges in general and administrative expenses for
39
any period presented. We write-off a receivable after all collection efforts have been exhausted and the amount is deemed uncollectible.
Leases
Lease agreements are evaluated to determine whether they are capital or operating leases in accordance with ASC 840, Leases. When any one of the four test criteria in ASC 840 is met, the lease then qualifies as a capital lease.
Capital leases are capitalized at the lower of the net present value of the total amount payable under the leasing agreement (excluding finance charges) or the fair market value of the leased asset. Capital lease assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis, over a period consistent with our normal depreciation policy for tangible fixed assets, but not exceeding the lease term. Interest charges are expensed over the period of the lease in relation to the carrying value of the capital lease obligation.
Rent expense for operating leases, which may include free rent or fixed escalation amounts in addition to minimum lease payments, is recognized on a straight-line basis over the duration of each lease term.
Deferred Tax Valuation Allowance
When we prepare our consolidated financial statements, we estimate our income tax liability for each of the various jurisdictions where we conduct business. This requires us to estimate our actual current tax exposure and to assess temporary differences that result from differing treatment of certain items for tax and accounting purposes. The net deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance if, based upon weighted available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. We must make significant judgments to determine our provision for income taxes, our deferred tax assets and liabilities and any valuation allowance to be recorded against our net deferred tax assets. As of June 30, 2016, we had a valuation allowance of approximately $80.9 million of which approximately $80.1 million was attributable to U.S. and state net operating losses and research and development credit carryforwards.
We apply ASC 740, Income Taxes, in determining any uncertain tax positions. The guidance seeks to reduce the diversity in practice associated with certain aspects of measurement and recognition in accounting for income taxes and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position that an entity takes or expects to take in a tax return. Additionally, ASC 740 provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. Under ASC 740, an entity may only recognize or continue to recognize tax positions that meet a “more likely than not” threshold. In accordance with our accounting policy, we recognize accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as a component of “other income (expense), net” in the consolidated statements of operations.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Our financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities. We do not have any derivative financial instruments. We believe the reported carrying amounts of these financial instruments approximate fair value, based upon their short-term nature and comparable market information available at the respective balance sheet dates.The carrying value of our bank borrowings and capital lease obligations approximates fair value based on the borrowing rates currently available to us for loans and capital leases with similar terms.

Revenue
Total revenue, which consists of subscription and support, license and professional services revenue, was $69.4 million, $75.9 million, and $70.3 million, in fiscal years 2016, 2015, and 2014, respectively.
In fiscal year 2016, total revenue decreased 9% or $6.5 million, from the prior year. Our international sales accounted for approximately 50% of total revenue in fiscal year 2016, a decrease from 52% of total revenue in fiscal year 2015. The impact of the foreign exchange fluctuation between the U.S. dollar, the Euro and British pound in total revenue was $2.1 million and $1.3 million in fiscal years 2016 and 2015, respectively. There were two customers that accounted for 14% and 10% of total revenue in fiscal year 2016. There was one customer that accounted for 10% of total revenue in fiscal year 2015. There were two different customers that accounted for 16% and 10% of total revenue in fiscal year 2014.

Subscription and support revenue includes cloud and software maintenance and support revenue. Subscription and support revenue was $42.8 million, $42.3 million, and $40.5 million in fiscal years 2016, 2015, and 2014, respectively. This represented an increase of 1% or $0.5 million, in fiscal year 2016 compared to fiscal year 2015 and an increase of 5% or $1.8 million, in fiscal year 2015 compared to fiscal year 2014. Subscription and support revenue represented 62%, 56%, and 58% of total revenue for the fiscal years 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively.
The increase in fiscal year 2016 was primarily an increase in cloud revenue due to the shift from perpetual license business toward a clould delivery model and the improved renewal rate. The impact from foreign currency fluctuations was a decrease of $1.2 million in fiscal year 2016.
41
The increase in fiscal year 2015 was primarily due to an increase in maintenance and support from our license business and an increase in customer base through acquisition of Exony partially offset by a reduction in cloud revenue primarily due to the decreased annual contract value from one customer renewal. The impact from foreign currency fluctuations was an increase of $620,000 in fiscal year 2015.
Excluding the impact from any future foreign currency fluctuation, we expect subscription and support revenue to increase in fiscal year 2017 due to the shift from perpetual license business toward a cloud delivery model.

License revenue was $14.5 million, $18.3 million, and $14.8 million in fiscal years 2016, 2015, and 2014, respectively. This represents a decrease of 21% or $3.9 million, in fiscal year 2016 from fiscal year 2015, compared to an increase of 24% or $3.5 million, in fiscal year 2015 from fiscal year 2014. License revenue represented 21%, 24%, and 21% of total revenue for the fiscal years 2016, 2015, and 2014, respectively.
The decrease in license revenue in fiscal year 2016 was primarily attributable to the shift from perpetual license business toward a cloud delivery model. The impact from the foreign currency fluctuations on license revenue was a decrease of $363,000 in fiscal year 2016.
The increase in license revenue in fiscal year 2015 was primarily attributable to increased demand from new and existing customers. New license and support transactions in fiscal year 2015 included approximately $23.7 million from numerous transactions with an average deal size of $176,000. The impact from the foreign currency fluctuations on license revenue was a decrease of $286,000 in fiscal year 2015.
Given the general unpredictability in the length of current sales cycles, the mix between cloud and license transactions, the uncertainty in the global economy and the volatility of the value of the British pound and Euro in relation to the U.S. dollar, license revenue may increase or decrease in future periods. However, as we continue the shift from our license to cloud model, we anticipate total license revenue to decrease in fiscal year 2017.

Professional services revenue was $12.1 million, $15.3 million, and $15.0 million in fiscal years 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively. This represented a decrease of 21%, or $3.2 million in fiscal year 2016 compared to fiscal year 2015 and an increase of 2%, or $292,000, in fiscal year 2015 compared to fiscal year 2014.
The decrease in professional services revenue in fiscal year 2016 was primarily attributable to a reduction in time required for an average implementation project as a result of the improvements to our product deployment process. The impact from foreign currency fluctuation was an increase of $468,000.
42
Professional services revenue in fiscal year 2015 was relatively constant compared to fiscal year 2014. The impact from foreign currency fluctuations was a decrease of $390,000.
Excluding the impact from any future foreign currency fluctuations, we expect professional services revenue to increase or remain relatively constant in fiscal year 2017.

Total cost of revenue was $23.7 million, $29.1 million, and $23.5 million in fiscal years 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively. This represented a decrease of 19%, or $5.5 million, in fiscal year 2016 compared to fiscal year 2015 and an increase of 24%, or $5.7 million, in fiscal year 2015 compared to fiscal year 2014.
Total cost of revenue as a percentage of total revenue was 34%, 39%, and 33% for fiscal years 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively.
The decrease in fiscal year 2016 was primarily due to decreases of (i) $4.4 million in personnel and personnel-related expenses; (ii) international subsidiaries’ expenses of approximately $970,000 related to the strengthening of the U.S. dollar against the Euro, British pound, and Indian rupee; and (iii) $376,000 in outside consulting expense partially offset by increases of (i) $240,000 in cloud related expenses such as hosted network and lease cost paid to remote co-location centers and (ii) $26,000 in intangible amortization of customer relationships related to acquired maintenance contracts.
The increase in fiscal year 2015 was primarily due to increases of (i) $5.3 million in personnel and personnel-related expenses from the increased headcount due to Exony acquisition and Company-wide compensation increases, (ii) $539,000 in cloud related expenses such as hosted network and lease cost paid to remote co-location centers, (iii) $242,000 in intangible amortization of customer relationships related to acquired maintenance contracts; (iv) $23,000 in outside consulting expense partially offset by a decrease of (i) international subsidiaries’ expenses of approximately $426,000 related to the strengthening of the U.S. dollar against the Euro, British pound, and Indian rupee and (ii) $43,000 in license related expenses.
Gross margin was 66%, 61% and 67% for fiscal years 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively.
In order to better understand the changes within our cost of revenue and resulting gross margins, we have provided the following discussion of the individual components of our cost of revenue.

Cost of subscription and support revenue includes personnel costs for our cloud services and maintenance and support, and to a lesser extent occupancy costs and related overhead. It also includes depreciation of capital equipment used in our hosted network, cost of support for the third-party software, and lease costs paid to remote co-location centers.
Total cost of subscription and support revenue was $12.4 million, $12.1 million, and $8.5 million in fiscal years 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively. This represented an increase of 3%, or $319,000, in fiscal year 2016 compared to fiscal year 2015 and an increase of 42%, or $3.6 million, in fiscal year 2015 compared to fiscal year 2014. Total cost of subscription and support revenue as a percentage of total subscription and support revenue was 29% (a gross margin of 71%) in fiscal years 2016 and 2015 compared to 21% (a gross margin of 79%) in fiscal year 2014.
The increase in cost of subscription and support revenue in fiscal year 2016 was primarily due to increases of (i) $276,000 in cloud related expenses; (ii) 221,000 in personnel and personnel-related expenses; (iii) $162,000 in outside consulting services; and (iv) $26,000 in intangible amortization of customer relationships related to acquired maintenance contracts partially offset by a decrease of international subsidiaries’ expenses of approximately $364,000 from the foreign exchange fluctuation between the U.S. dollar, the Euro, British pound and Indian rupee.
The increase in cost of subscription and support revenue in fiscal year 2015 was primarily due to increases of (i) $2.9 million in personnel and personnel-related expenses from the increased headcount due to Exony acquisition and Company-wide compensation increases, (ii) $539,000 in cloud related expenses, (iii) $242,000 in intangible amortization of customer relationships related to acquired maintenance contracts, and (iv) $23,000 in outside consulting services partially offset by a decrease of international subsidiaries’ expenses of approximately $101,000 from the foreign exchange fluctuation between the U.S. dollar, the Euro, British pound and Indian rupee.
Excluding the impact from any future foreign currency fluctuations, we anticipate cost of subscription and support revenue to decrease in fiscal year 2017 and the gross margin to increase as we continue to streamline our cloud operations.

Cost of license primarily includes third-party software royalties and delivery costs for shipments to customers. Total cost of license was $29,000, $61,000 and $104,000 in fiscal years 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively. This represented a decrease of 52%, or $32,000 in fiscal year 2016 compared to 2015 and a decrease of 41%, or $43,000, in fiscal year 2015 compared to 2014. Total cost of license as a percentage of total license revenue was approximately 0% (a gross margin of 100%) in fiscal years 2016 and 2015 compared to 1% (a gross margin of 99%) in fiscal years 2014.
The decrease in cost of license in fiscal years 2016 and 2015 was primarily due to decrease in third party royalties expense.
We anticipate cost of license as a percentage of total license revenue to remain relatively constant in future periods.

Cost of professional services includes personnel costs for consulting services, and to a lesser extent occupancy costs and related overhead. Total cost of professional services was $11.3 million, $17.0 million and $14.8 million in fiscal years 2016, 2015, and 2014, respectively. This represented a decrease of 34% or $5.7 million, in fiscal year 2016 compared to fiscal year 2015 and an increase of 15% or $2.2 million, in fiscal year 2015 compared to fiscal year 2014. Total cost of professional services as a percentage of total professional services revenue was 93% (gross margin of 7%) in fiscal year 2016 compared to 111% (a negative gross margin of 11%) in fiscal year 2015 and 99% (a gross margin of 1%) in fiscal year 2014.
The decrease in cost of professional services in fiscal year 2016 was primarily due to decreases of (i) $4.6 million in personnel and personnel-related expense from the decreased headcount; (ii) international subsidiaries’ expenses of approximately $606,000 from the foreign exchange fluctuation between the U.S. dollar, the Euro, British pound and Indian rupee and (ii) $538,000 in outside consulting expenses. The decrease in personnel costs and improved gross margin was due to the reduction in time required for an average implementation project as a result of improvements to our product development process.
The increase in cost of professional services in fiscal year 2015 was primarily due to an increase of $2.5 million in personnel and personnel-related expense from the increased headcount and Company-wide compensation increases partially offset by international subsidiaries’ expenses of approximately $324,000 from the foreign exchange fluctuation between the U.S. dollar, the Euro, British pound and Indian rupee.
Excluding the impact from any future foreign currency fluctuations, we anticipate cost of professional services to decrease or remain relatively constant and gross margin to increase in future periods.

Research and development expenses primarily consist of compensation and benefits for our engineering, product management and quality assurance personnel, and, to a lesser extent, occupancy costs and related overhead. Research and development expense was $16.1 million, $16.0 million and $10.0 million in fiscal years 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively. This represented an increase of $21,000 in the fiscal year 2016 compared to fiscal year 2015 and an increase of 61% or $6.1 million, in fiscal year 2015 compared to fiscal year 2014. Total research and development expenses as a percentage of total revenue was 23%, 21% and 14% for fiscal years 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively.
Research and development expense in fiscal year 2016 was consistent with fiscal year 2015.
The increase in research and development expense in fiscal year 2015 was primarily due to increases of (i) $4.0 million in personnel and personnel-related expenses from the increased headcount due to Exony acquisition and Company-wide compensation increases, (ii) $1.6 million in intangible amortization of acquired developed software technology, and (iii) $525,000 in outside consulting services partially offset by a decrease of international subsidiaries’ expenses of approximately $61,000 from the foreign exchange fluctuation between the U.S. dollar, the Euro, British pound and Indian.
45
Excluding any fluctuation of foreign exchange rates in the Euro, British pound, and Indian rupee against the U.S. dollar, we anticipate research and development expense to remain relatively constant as a percentage of total revenue in fiscal year 2017 based upon our current product development plans.

Sales and marketing expenses primarily consist of compensation and benefits for our sales, marketing and business development personnel, lead generation activities, advertising, trade show and other promotional costs and, to a lesser extent, occupancy costs and related overhead. Sales and marketing expense was $27.7 million, $32.7 million and $33.4 million in fiscal years 2016, 2015 and 2014 respectively. This represented a decrease of 15%, or $5.0 million in fiscal year 2016 compared to fiscal year 2015 and a decrease of 2%, or $664,000 in fiscal year 2015 compared to fiscal year 2014. Total sales and marketing expenses as a percentage of total revenue was 40%, 43% and 48% in fiscal years 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively.
Total sales expense was $24.6 million for fiscal 2016, a decrease of 15% or $4.3 million, from $29.0 million for fiscal year 2015. The decrease in fiscal year 2016 was primarily due to decreases of (i) $3.0 million in personnel and personnel-related expense related to the decreased headcount and (ii) international subsidiaries’ expenses of approximately $1.5 million primarily from the foreign exchange fluctuation between the U.S. dollar, the Euro, British pound and Indian rupee partially offset by increases of (i) $129,000 in outside consulting and (ii) $67,000 in intangible amortization of customer relationships related to acquired software contracts.
Total marketing expense was $3.1 million for fiscal 2016, a decrease of 17% or $639,000, from $3.7 million for fiscal year 2015. The decrease in fiscal year 2016 was primarily due to decreases of (i) $360,000 in marketing program expenses, (ii) international subsidiaries’ expenses of approximately $184,000 primarily from the foreign exchange fluctuation between the U.S. dollar, the Euro, British pound and Indian rupee; (iii) $64,000 in outside consulting and (iv) $32,000 in personnel and personnel-related expense.
Total sales expense was $29.0 million for fiscal 2015, an increase of 1% or $363,000, from $28.6 million for fiscal year 2014. The increase in fiscal year 2015 was primarily due to increases of (i) $919,000 in personnel and personnel-related expense related to the increased headcount and compensation increase in our worldwide sales force, (ii) $623,000 in intangible amortization of customer relationships related to acquired software contracts; and (iii) $148,000 in third party partner fees partially offset by decreases of (i) international subsidiaries’ expenses of approximately $1.1 million primarily from the foreign exchange fluctuation between the U.S. dollar, the Euro, British pound and (iv) $234,000 in outside consulting services.
Total marketing expense was $3.7 million for fiscal 2015, a decrease of 22% or $1.0 million, from $4.8 million for fiscal year 2014. The decrease in fiscal year 2015 was primarily due to decreases of (i) $360,000 in marketing program expenses, (ii) $507,000 in personnel and personnel-related expenses, (iii) $80,000 in outside consulting expenses, and (iv) international subsidiaries’ expenses of approximately $79,000 primarily from the foreign exchange fluctuation between the U.S. dollar, the Euro, British pound and Indian rupee.
Excluding any fluctuation of foreign exchange rates in the Euro, British pound, and Indian rupee against the U.S. dollar, we anticipate sales and marketing expense to decrease as a percentage of total revenue in fiscal year 2017.

General and administrative expenses primarily consist of compensation and benefits for our finance, human resources, administrative and legal services personnel, fees for outside professional services, provision for doubtful accounts and, to a lesser extent, occupancy costs and related overhead. General and administrative expense was $7.8 million, $9.3 million and $7.5 million in the fiscal years 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively. This represented a decrease of 17% or $1.5 million in fiscal year 2016 compared to fiscal 2015 and an increase of 24% or $1.8 million in fiscal year 2015 compared to fiscal year 2014. Total general and administrative expenses as a percentage of total revenue was 11%, 12% and 11% in fiscal years 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively.
The decrease in fiscal year 2016 was primarily due to decreases of (i) $888,000 in personnel and personnel-related expense from the decreased headcount; (ii) $798,000 in one-time acquisition transaction costs; (iii) international subsidiaries’ expenses of approximately $215,000 primarily from the foreign exchange fluctuation between the U.S. dollar, the Euro, British pound and Indian rupee; and (iv) $33,000 from outside consulting services, including accounting and audit services partially offset by increases of (i) $336,000 in legal expenses as a result of a June 30, 2015 accrual reversal and (ii) $52,000 in bad debt expense.
The increase in fiscal year 2015 was primarily due to increases of (i) $1.8 million in personnel and personnel-related expense from the increased headcount and Company-wide compensation increases, (ii) $844,000 in one-time acquisition transaction costs, (iii) $202,000 from outside consulting services, including accounting and audit services, and (iv) $68,000 in intangible amortization of trade name partially offset by decreases of (i) $1.0 million in legal fees; (ii) international subsidiaries’ expenses of approximately $109,000 primarily from the foreign exchange fluctuation between the U.S. dollar, the Euro, British pound and Indian rupee, and (iii) $60,000 in bad debt expense.
We anticipate general and administrative expenses to decrease as a percentage of total revenue in fiscal year 2017 based upon current revenue expectations excluding the fluctuation of foreign exchange rates in the Euro, British pound, and Indian rupee against the U.S. dollar.

Stock-based compensation expenses include the amortization of the fair value of share-based payments made to employees, members of our board of directors and consultants, primarily in the form of stock options. The fair value of stock options granted is recognized as an expense, as the underlying stock options vest. The decrease of our stock-based compensation expense in fiscal 2016 was primarily due to the decrease in Company-wide headcount as well as decrease in option grant activity. The increase of our stock-based compensation expense in fiscal 2015 was primarily due to the increased Company-wide headcount and increase in option grant activity, particularly to key employees of the Company and its subsidiaries granted in the first quarter of the fiscal year.
47
We value our share-based payments under ASC 718, and record compensation expense for all share-based payments made to employees based on the fair value at the date of the grant.
We expect our stock-based compensation expense to remain relatively constant in fiscal year 2017 based on our anticipated hiring and also, if the stock price increases.

Loss from operations was $5.9 million in fiscal year 2016 compared to loss from operations of $11.3 million in fiscal year 2015 and loss from operations of $4.1 million in fiscal year 2014. We recorded a negative operating margin of 8%, 15% and 6% in fiscal years 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively.
The decrease in operating loss in fiscal year 2016 was due to a decrease in total costs of revenue and operating expenses of $12.0 million and decrease in revenue of $6.5 million. The decrease in revenue was primarily due to a decrease in new license transactions and professional services revenue. The impact of any fluctuation of foreign currencies against the U.S. dollar on revenue was a decrease of $2.1 million. The decrease in total costs and operating expenses was primarily due to decreases of (i) $7.8 million in in personnel-related costs; (ii) $3.3 million in international expenses from the foreign exchange fluctuation between the U.S. dollar, the Euro, British pound and Indian rupee; (iii) $798,000 in one-time acquisition transaction costs; (iv) $551,000 in outside consulting services which includes accounting, audit and investor relations fees and (v) $360,000 in marketing program expenses partially offset by increases of (i) $321,000 in legal expenses as a result of a June 30, 2015 accrual reversal; (ii) $270,000 in intangible amortization from acquisition; (iii) $245,000 cloud related expenses and (iv) $45,000 in bad debt expense.
The increase in operating loss in fiscal year 2015 was due to an increase in total costs of revenue and operating expenses of $12.9 million and increase in revenue of $5.7 million. The increase in revenue was primarily due to an increase in new license transactions and maintenance and support renewals. The impact of any fluctuation of foreign currencies against the U.S. dollar on revenue was a decrease of $1.3 million. The increase in total costs and operating expenses was primarily due to increases of (i) $11.7 million in personnel-related costs including an increase of $133,000 in sales commission, (ii) $2.5 million in intangible amortization from acquisition, (iii) $844,000 in one-time acquisition transaction costs, (iv) $443,000 in cloud related expenses, (v) $411,000 in outside consulting services, and (vi) $148,000 in third party partner fees partially offset by decreases of (i) $1.8 million in international expenses from the foreign exchange fluctuation between the U.S. dollar, the Euro, British pound and Indian rupee, (ii) $1.0 million in legal fees, (iii) $360,000 in marketing programs expenses, and (iv) $43,000 in license related expenses.
Interest Expense, Net
Net interest expense was $2.0 million, $834,000 and $181,000 in fiscal years 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively. This represents an increase of 135% or $1.1 million in fiscal year 2016, compared to fiscal year 2015 and an increase of 361% or $653,000 in fiscal year 2015, compared to fiscal year 2014. Interest income was not significant in any year.
The increase in interest expense in fiscal year 2016 and 2015 was primarily due interest incurred on bank borrowing and capital leasing agreements.
Other Income (Expense), Net
Other income was $728,000 in fiscal year 2016, compared to other income of $11,000 in fiscal year 2015 and other expense of $415,000 in fiscal year 2014. Other expense and income in fiscal year 2015 was primarily due to (i) $359,000 reclassification of the accumulated translation expense recorded when liquidating our Inference, SiteBridge and Australia
48
subsidiaries, and (ii) $190,000 in foreign exchange loss and gain on international trade receivables due to the weakening of the British pound and Euro against the dollar in which certain sales were denominated. Other expense and income in fiscal years 2016 and 2014 primarily included the foreign exchange loss and gain on international trade receivables.
Income Tax Benefit (Provision)
Income tax benefit was $863,000 in fiscal year 2016 and income tax provision of $320,000 and $591,000 in fiscal years 2015 and 2014, respectively. The tax benefit primarily relates to the release of valuation allowance against deferred tax assets in the United Kingdom and reversal of the intangible amortization generated and benefited by Exony Limited (“Exony”) which was acquired in fiscal year 2015, partially offset by the income tax provision for foreign subsidiaries.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Overview
As of June 30, 2016 and 2015, our cash and cash equivalents was $11.8 million and $9.3 million, respectively. Our working capital was a negative $886,000 as of June 30, 2016, compared to a negative working capital of $2.0 million as of June 30, 2015. As of June 30, 2016, our deferred revenue was $15.7 million, compared to $15.8 million as of June 30, 2015. Unbilled deferred revenue, representing business that is contracted but not yet invoiced or collected and off balance sheet, was $31.1 million as of June 30, 2016, up from $26.5 million as of June 30, 2015.
As of June 30, 2016 and 2015, our restricted cash was $5,000 and $676,000, respectively. The decrease was primarily attributed to cash earmarked for the payment of Exony’s management incentive bonus which was paid in August 2015, the first anniversary of the Exony acquisition close date.
On November 21, 2014, we entered into a new $20 million credit facility with Wells Fargo Bank to be used for working capital and support our strategic growth plans. The new facility, which includes a $10 million, five-year term loan and a $10 million revolver, replaces our prior credit facility with Comerica Bank. For the term loan, we must make quarterly installments of principal at varying amounts, plus all accrued interest, at specified dates through the maturity date of November 21, 2019, at which time remaining amounts shall be immediately due and payable.
On September 1, 2015, we amended the credit facility with Wells Fargo to increase the revolver from $10 million to $15 million and increased the quarterly installments of principal at varying amounts, plus all accrued interest, at specified dates through the maturity date which remained unchanged at November 21, 2019.
Based upon our fiscal year 2017 plan, we believe that existing capital resources will enable us to maintain current and planned operations for at least the next 12 months. From time to time, however, we may consider opportunities for raising additional capital and/or exchanging all or a portion of our existing debt for equity. We can make no assurances that such opportunities will be available to us on economic terms we consider favorable, if at all.
If adequate funds are not available on acceptable terms, our ability to achieve or sustain positive cash flows, maintain current operations, fund any potential expansion, take advantage of unanticipated opportunities, develop or enhance products or services, or otherwise respond to competitive pressures would be significantly limited. Our expectations as to our future cash flows and our future cash balances are subject to a number of assumptions, including assumptions regarding anticipated increases in our revenue, the mix of new cloud and license business, our ability to retain existing customers and customer purchasing and payment patterns, many of which are beyond our control.

Cash Flows
Net cash provided by operating activities was $1.9 million in fiscal year 2016 compared to net cash used in operating activities of $10.5 million in fiscal year 2015 and net cash used in operating activities of $4.7 million in fiscal year 2014. The decrease in cash used was primarily due to a net loss of $6.2 million for the fiscal year 2016 compared to a net loss of $12.4 million in the comparable year-ago period after adjusting for depreciation, amortization of deferred commissions, deferred financing costs, and intangible assets, stock-based compensation, and changes in working capital accounts. Decreases in accrued compensation related to the settlement of Exony working capital and management incentive commitments, deferred revenue and accounts receivable decreased due to the timing of prepayments received for cloud customer renewals and improved cash collections led to the improvement in cash used in operations, as well. The increase in accrued liabilities was primarily due to the increase in customer advances.
Net cash used in operating activities was $10.5 million in fiscal year 2015 compared to net cash used in operating activities of $4.7 million in fiscal year 2014. In fiscal year 2015, net cash used by operating activities increased $5.8 million over fiscal year 2014 primarily due to lower net income after adjusting for depreciation and amortization, amortization of deferred commissions, stock-based compensation, and changes in working capital accounts specifically, the addition of acquired intangible amortization of $2.5 million and increases in deferred revenue due to the addition of acquired customer balances from our Exony acquisition, accounts receivable due to timing of prepayments received for cloud customer renewals, accrued liabilities due to the addition of working capital and other consideration accrued as part of the Exony acquisition and accrued compensation due to acquired liabilities from our Exony acquisition.
Net cash used in operating activities was $4.7 million in fiscal year 2014 compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $10.0 million in fiscal year 2013. In fiscal year 2014, net cash used by operating activities increased $14.7 million over fiscal year 2013 primarily due to lower net income after adjusting for depreciation and amortization, amortization of deferred commissions, stock-based compensation, and changes in working capital accounts specifically, decreases in deferred revenue and accounts receivables due to timing of prepayments received for cloud customer renewals and prepaid and other current assets due to receipt of pending insurance recovery from our insurance carrier.
Net cash provided by investing activities was $74,000 compared to net cash used in investing activities of $3.4 million in fiscal year 2015 and net cash used in investing activities of $1.8 million in fiscal year 2014. Net cash provided by investing activities primarily related to a decrease of $621,000 in restricted cash partially offset by $547,000 of equipment and software purchases. Net cash used in investing activities in fiscal year 2015 primarily related to (i) $1.9 million of cash paid for the acquisition of Exony, net of cash acquired and an increase in restricted cash of $779,000 related to escrow funds reserved for the payment of Exony management incentive bonuses and (ii) $741,000 of equipment and software purchases. Net cash used in investing activities in fiscal year 2014 primarily related to purchases of equipment and software of $1.8 million to support the increase in investment for cloud infrastructure and equipment for new employees.
Net cash provided by financing activities was $1.7 million in fiscal year 2016 compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $13.6 million in fiscal year 2015 and net cash used in financing activities of $1.1 million in fiscal year 2014. Net cash provided by financing activities in in fiscal year 2016 primarily related to (i) $11.8 million in bank borrowings from our bank facility to fund operations and (ii) $172,000 from the exercise of stock options partially offset by (i) $9.5 million repayment of existing bank borrowings; (ii) $498,000 payments on capital lease obligations and (iii) $270,000 payments for debt issue costs. Net cash provided by financing activities in fiscal year 2015 primarily related to (i) $26.5 million in borrowings from our bank facilities used to finance the majority of the acquisition of Exony on August 6, 2014 and to support our strategic growth plans and (ii) $339,000 from the exercise of stock options partially offset by (i) the repayment of $12.2 million of existing bank borrowings, (ii) $550,000 payments made for debt issue costs, and (iii) $434,000 principal payments on capital lease obligations. Net cash used in financing activities in fiscal year 2014 primarily included the repayment of $2.9 million of related party notes, payments of $2.7 million on existing bank borrowings, and payments of $144,000 on capital lease obligations partially offset by proceeds from new bank borrowings of $3.0 million, proceeds from exercise of stock options of $578,000 and a $1.0 million decrease in restricted cash.

Quarterly Results of Operations
The following tables set forth certain unaudited consolidated statement of operations data for the eight quarters ended June 30, 2016. This data has been derived from unaudited consolidated financial statements that, in the opinion of management, include all adjustments consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of such information when read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto.
The unaudited quarterly information should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto included elsewhere in this Form 10-K. We believe that period-to-period comparisons of our financial results are not necessarily meaningful and should not be relied upon as an indication of future performance.

ITEM 7A.QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Foreign Currency Exchange Risk
We develop products in the United States and India and sell these products in the United States and internationally. Generally, international sales are made in local currency. As a result, our financial results could be affected by factors such as changes in foreign currency exchange rates or weak economic conditions in foreign markets. Identifiable assets denominated in foreign currency as of June 30, 2016 totaled approximately $11.0 million a 10% increase in the value of the dollar relative to other currencies would decrease the value of these assets by $1.10 million. We do not currently use derivative instruments to hedge against foreign exchange risk. As such we are exposed to market risk from fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, principally from the exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and the Euro and the British pound and the Indian rupee. An unfavorable change in the foreign currency exchange rates may cause an adverse effect on our financial position or results of operations.
Interest Rate Risk
Our exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates primarily to interest earned on our cash and cash equivalents. The primary objective of our investment activities is to preserve our capital to fund operations. We also seek to maximize income from our investments without assuming significant risk. Our investment policy provides for investments in short‑term, low‑risk, investment‑grade debt instruments. These investments are subject to interest rate risk and will decrease in value if market interest rates increase.
Our cash and cash equivalents, totaling $11.8 million at June 30, 2016, did not include any auction preferred stock, auction rate securities or mortgage‑backed investments. We currently do not hedge interest rate exposure, and we do not have any foreign currency or other derivative financial instruments. To date, we have not experienced a loss of principal on any of our investments. Although we currently expect that our ability to access or liquidate these investments as needed to support our business activities will continue, we cannot ensure that this will not change. We believe that, if market interest rates were to change immediately and uniformly by 10% from levels at June 30, 2016, the impact on the fair value of these securities or our cash flows or income would not be material.

REPORT ON INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
Board of Directors and Stockholders
eGain Corporation
Sunnyvale, California
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of eGain Corporation and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of June 30, 2016 and 2015, and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive loss, stockholders’ equity (deficit), and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended June 30, 2016. Our audits also included the financial statement schedule listed in the index to this Annual Report on Form 10-K at Part IV Item 15(a)(2). These consolidated financial statements and the financial statement schedule are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedule based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of eGain Corporation and its subsidiaries as of June 30, 2016 and 2015, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended June 30, 2016 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also, in our opinion, the related financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2016, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013 Framework) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission, and our report dated September 13, 2016 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

eGAIN CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. SUMMARY OF BUSINESS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Organization and Nature of Business
eGain Corporation (“eGain”, the “Company”, “our”, “we” or “us”) is a leading provider of cloud-based and on-site customer engagement software solutions. For almost two decades, our solutions have helped improve customer experience, grow sales, and optimize service processes across the web, social, and phone channels. Hundreds of global enterprises rely on us to transform fragmented sales engagement and customer service operations into unified customer engagement hubs. We have operations in the United States, United Kingdom, Germany, France, South Africa, and India.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of eGain and our wholly-owned subsidiaries, eGain Communications Ltd., Exony Limited (“Exony”), eGain Communications Pvt. Ltd., eGain Communications (SA), eGain France S.A.R.L and eGain Deutschland GmbH. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
In fiscal year 2016, we closed our Italy (eGain Communications SrL), Netherlands (eGain Communications B.V. and Ireland (eGain Communications Ltd.) offices.
In fiscal year 2015, we liquidated our Inference, SiteBridge and Australia (eGain Communications Pty Ltd) subsidiaries and recorded a reclassification adjustment from accumulated other comprehensive loss on the consolidated balance sheets to other expense on the consolidated statements of operations.
Reclassification
Certain reclassifications have been made to the consolidated statement of cash flows for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 to confiorm to the presentation of the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016.
Business Combinations
Business combinations are accounted for at fair value under the purchase method of accounting. Acquisition costs are expensed as incurred and recorded in general and administrative expenses and changes in deferred tax asset valuation allowances and income tax uncertainties after the acquisition date affect income tax expense. The accounting for business combinations requires estimates and judgment as to expectations for future cash flows of the acquired business, and the allocation of those cash flows to identifiable intangible assets, in determining the estimated fair value for assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The fair values assigned to tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed are based on management’s estimates and assumptions, as well as other information compiled by management, including valuations that utilize customary valuation procedures and techniques. If the actual results differ from the estimates and judgments used in these estimates, the amounts recorded in the condensed consolidated financial statements could result in a possible impairment of the intangible assets and goodwill, or require acceleration of the amortization expense of finite-lived intangible assets.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. The estimates are based upon information available as of the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
62
We evaluate our significant estimates, including those related to revenue recognition, provision for doubtful accounts, valuation of stock-based compensation, valuation of long-lived assets, valuation of deferred tax assets, and litigation, among others. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. We refer to accounting estimates of this type as “critical accounting estimates.”
Foreign Currency
The functional currency of each of our international subsidiaries is the local currency of the country in which it operates. Assets and liabilities of our foreign subsidiaries are translated at month-end exchange rates, and revenue and expenses are translated at the average monthly exchange rates. The resulting cumulative translation adjustments are recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses are included in “other income (expense), net” in the consolidated statements of operations, and resulted in a gain of $697,000, a loss of $400,000, and a loss of $405,000 in fiscal years 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively.
Cash and Cash Equivalents, Restricted Cash and Investments
We consider all highly liquid investments with an original purchase to maturity date of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Time deposits held for investments that are not debt securities are included in short-term investments in the consolidated balance sheets. Investments in time deposits with original maturities of more than three months but remaining maturities of less than one year are considered short-term investments. Investments held with the intent to reinvest or hold for longer than a year, or with remaining maturities of one year or more, are considered long-term investments. As of June 30, 2016 and 2015 we did not have any short-term or long-term investments.
Cash earmarked for a specific purpose and therefore not available for immediate and general use by the Company is considered restricted cash. Expected usage of restricted cash within one year is classified as a current asset; expected usage more than a year is considered a non-current asset. As of June 30, 2016, our restricted cash was nominal and as of June 30, 2015, restricted cash consisted primarily of cash earmarked for the payment of Exony’s management incentive bonus which was paid in August 2015, the first anniversary of the Exony acquisition close date.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Our financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities. We do not have any derivative financial instruments. We believe the reported carrying amounts of these financial instruments approximate fair value, based upon their short-term nature and comparable market information available at the respective balance sheet dates. The carrying value of our bank borrowings and capital lease obligations approximates fair value based on the borrowing rates currently available to us for loans and capital leases with similar terms.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that subject us to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents and trade accounts receivable. Cash and cash equivalents and investments are deposited with high credit quality institutions. We are exposed to credit risk in the event of default by these institutions to the extent of the amount recorded on the balance sheet. We invest excess cash primarily in money market funds, which are highly liquid securities that bear minimal risk. In addition, we have investment policies and procedures that are reviewed periodically to minimize credit risk. Our cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash were $11.8 million as of June 30, 2016 which exceeded the FDIC (Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation) limit.
Our customer base extends across many different industries and geographic regions. Revenue is allocated to individual countries and geographic region by customer, based on where the product is shipped to and location of services performed. There were two customers that accounted for 10% and 14%, respectively, of total revenue in fiscal years 2016. One customer accounted for 10% of total revenue in fiscal year 2015. Two customers accounted for 16% and 10% of total revenue in fiscal year 2014.
63
We perform ongoing credit evaluations of our customers with outstanding receivables and generally do not require collateral. In addition, we established an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon factors surrounding the credit risk of customers, historical trends and other information. There were two customers that accounted for approximately 23% and 14% of accounts receivable at June 30, 2016. Two customers accounted for approximately 16% and 12%, respectively, of accounts receivable at June 30, 2015. Two customers accounted for approximately 28% and 14% of accounts receivable at June 30, 2014.
Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
We extend unsecured credit to our customers on a regular basis. Our accounts receivable are derived from revenue earned from customers and are not interest bearing. We also maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts to reserve for potential uncollectible trade receivables. We review our trade receivables by aging category to identify specific customers with known disputes or collectibility issues. We exercise judgment when determining the adequacy of these reserves as we evaluate historical bad debt trends, general economic conditions in the U.S. and internationally, and changes in customer financial conditions. If we made different judgments or utilized different estimates, material differences may result in additional reserves for trade receivables, which would be reflected by charges in general and administrative expenses for any period presented. We write off a receivable after all collection efforts have been exhausted and the amount is deemed uncollectible.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the respective assets, which typically is between three to five years. Leasehold improvements and leased equipment are depreciated on straight-line basis over the shorter of the lease term or useful life of the asset, which is typically three to five years.
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
We review goodwill annually for impairment or sooner whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that it may be impaired. These events or circumstances could include a significant change in the business climate, legal factors, operating performance indicators, competition, or sale or disposition of a significant portion of a reporting unit. In addition, we evaluate purchased intangible assets to determine that all such assets have determinable lives. We operate under a single reporting unit and accordingly, all of our goodwill is associated with the entire company. We performed annual impairment reviews in June for fiscal years 2016, 2015 and 2014 and found no impairment.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
We review long-lived assets for impairment, including property and equipment, whenever events or changes in business circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts of the assets may not be fully recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized when estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition are less than its carrying amount. Impairment, if any, is assessed using discounted cash flows. During fiscal years 2016, 2015, and 2014, we did not have any such losses.
Revenue Recognition
We enter into arrangements to deliver multiple products or services (multiple-elements). We apply software revenue recognition rules and multiple-elements arrangement revenue guidance. Significant management judgments and estimates are made and used to determine the revenue recognized in any accounting period. Material differences may result in changes to the amount and timing of our revenue for any period if different conditions were to prevail. We present revenue, net of taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities.
64
We derive revenue from three sources:
i. |
Subscription and support fees primarily consist of cloud revenue from customers accessing our enterprise cloud computing services, term license revenue, and maintenance and support revenue; |
ii. |
License fees primarily consist of perpetual software license revenue; |
iii. |
Professional services primarily consist of consulting, implementation services and training. |
Revenues are recognized when all of the following criteria are met:
· |
Persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists: Evidence of an arrangement consists of a written contract signed by both the customer and management prior to the end of the period. We use signed software license, services agreements and order forms as evidence of an arrangement for sales of software, cloud, maintenance and support. We use signed statement of work as evidence of arrangement for professional services. |
· |
Delivery or performance has occurred: Software is delivered to customers electronically or on a CD-ROM, and license files are delivered electronically. Delivery is considered to have occurred when we provide the customer access to the software along with login credentials. |
· |
Fees are fixed or determinable: We assess whether the fee is fixed or determinable based on the payment terms associated with the transaction. Arrangements where a significant portion of the fee is due beyond 90 days from delivery are generally not considered to be fixed or determinable. |
· |
Collectibility is probable: We assess collectibility based on a number of factors, including the customer’s past payment history and its current creditworthiness. Payment terms generally range from 30 to 90 days from invoice date. If we determine that collection of a fee is not reasonably assured, we defer the revenue and recognize it at the time collection becomes reasonably assured, which is generally upon receipt of cash payment. |
We apply the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification, or ASC, 985-605, Software Revenue Recognition, to all transactions involving the licensing of software products. In the event of a multiple element arrangement for a license transaction, we evaluate the transaction as if each element represents a separate unit of accounting taking into account all factors following the accounting standards. We apply ASC 605, Revenue Recognition, for cloud transactions to determine the accounting treatment for multiple elements. We also apply ASC 605-35 for fixed fee arrangements in which we use the percentage of completion method to recognize revenue when reliable estimates are available for the costs and efforts necessary to complete the implementation services. When such estimates are not available, the completed contract method is utilized. Under the completed contract method, revenue is recognized only when a contract is completed or substantially complete.
When licenses are sold together with system implementation and consulting services, license fees are recognized upon shipment, provided that (i) payment of the license fees is not dependent upon the performance of the consulting and implementation services, (ii) the services are available from other vendors, (iii) the services qualify for separate accounting as we have sufficient experience in providing such services, have the ability to estimate cost of providing such services, and we have vendor-specific objective evidence, or VSOE, of fair value, and (iv) the services are not essential to the functionality of the software.
We enter into arrangements with multiple-deliverables that generally include subscription, maintenance and support, and professional services. We evaluate whether each of the elements in these arrangements represents a separate unit of accounting, as defined by ASC 605, using all applicable facts and circumstances, including whether (i) we sell or could readily sell the element unaccompanied by the other elements, (ii) the element has stand-alone value to the customer, and (iii) there is a general right of return. We use VSOE, of fair value for each of those units, when available. For revenue recognition with multiple-deliverable elements, in certain limited circumstances when VSOE of fair value does not exist, we apply the selling price hierarchy, which includes VSOE, third-party evidence of selling price, or TPE, and best estimate of selling price, or BESP. We determine the relative selling price for a deliverable based on VSOE, if available, or BESP, if VSOE is not available. We have determined that TPE is not a practical alternative due to differences in our service offerings compared to other parties and the availability of relevant third-party pricing information.
65
We determine BESP by considering our overall pricing objectives and market conditions. Significant pricing practices taken into consideration include our discounting practices, the size and volume of our transactions, customer demographic, the geographic area where services are sold, price lists, its go-to-market strategy, historical standalone sales and contract prices. The determination of BESP is made through consultation with and approval by our management, taking into consideration the go-to-market strategy. As our go-to-market strategies evolve, we may modify our pricing practices in the future, which could result in changes in relative selling prices, including both VSOE and BESP.
Subscription and Support Revenue
Cloud Revenue
Cloud revenue consists of subscription fees from customers accessing our cloud-based service offerings. We recognize cloud services revenue ratably over the period of the applicable agreement as services are provided. Cloud agreements typically have an initial term of 12 to 36 months and automatically renew unless either party cancels the agreement. The majority of the cloud services customers purchase a combination of our cloud service and professional services. In some cases, the customer may also acquire a license for our software.
We consider the applicability of ASC 985-605, on a contract-by-contract basis. In cloud based agreements, where the customer does not have the contractual right to take possession of the software, the revenue is recognized on a monthly basis over the term of the contract. Invoiced amounts are recorded in accounts receivable and in deferred revenue or revenue, depending on whether the revenue recognition criteria have been met. We consider a software element to exist when we determine that the customer has the contractual right to take possession of our software at any time during the cloud period without significant penalty and can feasibly run the software on its own hardware or enter into another arrangement with a third party to host the software. Additionally, we have established VSOE for the cloud and maintenance and support elements of perpetual license sales, based on the prices charged when sold separately and substantive renewal terms. Accordingly, when a software element exists in a cloud services arrangement, license revenue for the perpetual software license element is determined using the residual method and is recognized upon delivery. Revenue for the cloud and maintenance and support elements is recognized ratably over the contractual time period. Professional services are recognized as described below under “Professional Services Revenue.” If VSOE of fair value cannot be established for the undelivered elements of an agreement, the entire amount of revenue from the arrangement is recognized ratably over the period that these elements are delivered.
Term License Revenue
Term license revenue includes arrangements where our customers receive license rights to use our software along with bundled maintenance and support services for the term of the contract. The majority of our contracts provide customers with the right to use one or more products up to a specific license capacity. Certain of our license agreements stipulate that customers can exceed pre-determined base capacity levels, in which case additional fees are specified in the license agreement. Term license revenue is recognized ratably over the term of the license contract.
Maintenance and Support Revenue
Maintenance and support revenue consists of customers purchasing maintenance and support for our on-premise software. We use VSOE of fair value for maintenance and support to account for the arrangement using the residual method, regardless of any separate prices stated within the contract for each element. Maintenance and support revenue is recognized ratably over the term of the maintenance contract, which is typically one year. Maintenance and support is renewable by the customer on an annual basis. Maintenance and support rates, including subsequent renewal rates, are typically established based upon a specified percentage of net license fees as set forth in the arrangement.
License Revenue
License revenue consists of perpetual license rights sold to customers to use our software in conjunction with related maintenance and support services. If an acceptance period is required, revenue is recognized upon the earlier of customer acceptance or the expiration of the acceptance period. In software arrangements that include rights to multiple software
66
products and/or services, we use the residual method under which revenue is allocated to the undelivered elements based on VSOE of the fair value of such undelivered elements. The residual amount of revenue is allocated to the delivered elements and recognized as revenue, assuming all other criteria for revenue recognition have been met. Such undelivered elements in these arrangements typically consist of software maintenance and support, implementation and consulting services and in some cases, cloud services.
License sales to resellers as a percentage of total revenue were approximately 19%, 15%, and 11% in fiscal years 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Revenue from sales to resellers is generally recognized upon delivery to the reseller but depends on the facts and circumstances of the transaction, such as our understanding of the reseller’s plans to sell the software, if there are any return provisions, price protection or other allowances, the reseller’s financial status and our experience with the particular reseller. Historically sales to resellers have not included any return provisions, price protections or other allowances.
Professional Services Revenue
Professional Services Revenue includes system implementation, consulting and training. For license transactions, the majority of our consulting and implementation services qualify for separate accounting. We use VSOE of fair value for the services to account for the arrangement using the residual method, regardless of any separate prices stated within the contract for each element. Our consulting and implementation service contracts are bid either on a fixed-fee basis or on a time-and-materials basis. Substantially all of our contracts are on a time-and-materials basis. For time-and-materials contracts, where the services are not essential to the functionality, we recognize revenue as services are performed. If the services are essential to functionality, then both the product license revenue and the service revenue are recognized under the percentage of completion method. For a fixed-fee contract, we recognize revenue based upon the costs and efforts to complete the services in accordance with the percentage of completion method, provided we are able to estimate such cost and efforts.
Under ASC 605-25, in order to account for deliverables in a multiple-deliverable arrangement as separate units of accounting, the deliverables must have standalone value upon delivery. For cloud services, in determining whether professional services have standalone value, we consider the following factors for each professional services agreement: availability of the services from other vendors, the nature of the professional services, the timing of when the professional services contract was signed in comparison to the subscription service start date and the contractual dependence of the subscription service on the customer’s satisfaction with the professional services work.
We determined at or around July 1, 2013 that we had established standalone value for consulting and implementation services. This was primarily due to the change in our business focus, the growing number of partners we trained and certified to perform these deployment services and the consequential sale of subscription services without bundled implementation service. Revenues earned from professional services related to consulting and implementation of a majority of our core subscription services are being accounted for separately from revenues earned from subscription services beginning July 1, 2013 when the standalone value was established for those professional services.
For those contracts that have standalone value, we recognized the services revenue when rendered for time and material contracts, when the milestones are achieved and accepted by the customer for fixed price contracts or by percentage of completion basis if there is no acceptance criteria. For cloud, consulting and implementation services that do not qualify for separate accounting, we recognize the services revenue ratably over the estimated life of the customer cloud relationship, once cloud has gone live or system ready. We estimate the life of these customer cloud relationship at the time the transactions occurred to be approximately 28 months, based on the then average life of all cloud customer relationships.
Training revenue that meets the criteria to be accounted for separately is recognized when training is provided.
Deferred Revenue
Deferred revenue primarily consists of payments received in advance of revenue recognition from cloud, term license, and maintenance and support services and is recognized as the revenue recognition criteria are met. We generally
67
invoice customers in annual or quarterly installments. The deferred revenue balance does not represent the total contract value of annual or multi-year, non-cancelable cloud or maintenance and support agreements. Deferred revenue is influenced by several factors, including seasonality, the compounding effects of renewals, invoice duration, invoice timing and new business linearity within the quarter.
Deferred revenue that will be recognized during the succeeding twelve-month period is recorded as current deferred revenue and the remaining portion is recorded as noncurrent.
Deferred Commissions
Deferred commissions are the direct and incremental costs directly associated with cloud and term license contracts with customers and consist of sales commissions to our direct sales force.
The commissions are deferred and amortized over the terms of the related customer contracts, which are typically 12 to 36 months. The commission payments are paid based on contract terms in the month following the quarter in which the commissions are earned. The deferred commission amounts are recognized as “sales and marketing” expense in the consolidated statements of operations over the terms of the related customer contracts, in proportion to the recognition of the associated revenue.
Deferred Financing Costs
Costs relating to obtaining the credit agreement with Wells Fargo Bank are capitalized and amortized over the term of the related debt using the effective interest method. Deferred financing costs and accumulated amortization as of June 30, 2016 and 2015 were $820,000 and $294,000, respectively, and $550,000 and $79,000, respectively, and are included net of bank borrowings in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Amortization of deferred financing costs recorded as interest expense was $231,000, $79,000 and zero for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively. When a loan is paid in full, any unamortized financing costs are removed from the related accounts and charged to operations as interest expense.
Leases
Lease agreements are evaluated to determine whether they are capital or operating leases in accordance with ASC 840, Accounting for Leases. When any one of the four test criteria in ASC 840 is met, the lease then qualifies as a capital lease.
Capital leases are capitalized at the lower of the net present value of the total amount payable under the leasing agreement (excluding finance charges) or the fair market value of the leased asset. Capital lease assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis, over a period consistent with our normal depreciation policy for tangible fixed assets, but not exceeding the lease term. Interest charges are expensed over the period of the lease in relation to the carrying value of the capital lease obligation.
Rent expense for operating leases, which may include free rent or fixed escalation amounts in addition to minimum lease payments, is recognized on a straight-line basis over the duration of each lease term.
Software Development Costs
We account for software development costs in accordance with ASC 985, Software, for costs of the software to be sold, leased or marketed, whereby costs for the development of new software products and substantial enhancements to existing software products are included in research and development expense as incurred until technological feasibility has been established, at which time any additional costs are capitalized. Technological feasibility is established upon completion of a working model. To date, software development costs incurred in the period between achieving technological feasibility and general availability of software have not been material and have been charged to operations as incurred.
68
Advertising Costs
We expense advertising costs as incurred. Total advertising expenses for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2016, 2015 and 2014 were $121,000, $68,000, and $120,000 respectively.
Stock-Based Compensation
We account for stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation. Under the fair value recognition provisions of ASC 718, stock-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and is recognized as expense over the vesting period. Determining the fair value of the stock-based awards at the grant date requires significant judgment and the use of estimates, particularly surrounding Black-Scholes valuation assumptions such as stock price volatility and expected option term.
Income Taxes
Income taxes are accounted for using the asset and liability method in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes. Under this method, deferred tax liabilities and assets are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. For the legacy eGain business in the United States, based upon the weight of available evidence, which includes our historical operating performance and the reported cumulative net losses in all prior years, we have provided a full valuation allowance against our net deferred tax assets. For the legacy eGain business in the United Kingdom, the Company has determined based on the positive evidence it would be able to utilize the deferred tax assets and therefore released the valuation allowance against the deferred tax assets in the United Kingdom. The remaining eGain foreign operations as well as Exony’s business have historically been profitable and we believe it is more likely than not that those assets will be realized. Our tax provision primarily relates to foreign activities as well as state income taxes. Our income tax rate differs from the statutory tax rates primarily due to the utilization of net operating loss carry-forwards which had previously been valued against as well as our foreign operations.
We account for uncertain tax positions according to the provisions of ASC 740. ASC 740 contains a two-step approach for recognizing and measuring uncertain tax positions. Tax positions are evaluated for recognition by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates that it is probable that the position will be sustained on audit, including resolution of related appeals or litigation. Tax benefits are then measured as the largest amount which is more than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. We consider many factors when evaluating and estimating tax positions and tax benefits, which may require periodic adjustments and which may not accurately anticipate actual outcomes.
Comprehensive Income (Loss)
We report comprehensive income (loss) and its components in accordance with ASC 220, Comprehensive Income. Under the accounting standards, comprehensive income (loss) includes all changes in equity during a period except those resulting from investments by or distributions to owners. Total comprehensive income (loss) for each of the three years in the period ended June 30, 2016 is shown in the accompanying statements of comprehensive income (loss). Accumulated other comprehensive loss presented in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets at June 30, 2016 and 2015 consist of accumulated foreign currency translation adjustments.
Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share
Basic net income (loss) per common share is computed using the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding. In periods where net income is reported, the weighted average number of shares is increased by warrants and options in the money to calculate diluted net income per common share.

Such securities could have a dilutive effect in future periods.
Segment Information
We operate in one segment, the development, license, implementation and support of our customer service infrastructure software solutions. Operating segments are identified as components of an enterprise for which discrete financial information is available and regularly reviewed by our chief operating decision-maker in order to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance. Our chief operating decision-makers under ASC 280, Segment Reporting, are our executive management team. Our chief operating decision-makers review financial information presented on a consolidated basis for purposes of making operating decisions and assessing financial performance.

New Accounting Pronouncements
In March 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2016-09, Compensation-Stock Compensation: Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting (ASU 2016-09), which simplifies several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment award transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-09 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016 (our fiscal 2018), and interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently assessing the future impact of this update on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02 Leases, which requires that we recognize lease assets and liabilities on the balance sheet. This standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018 (our fiscal 2020), and interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently assessing the future impact of this update on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in Topic 605, Revenue Recognition and requires entities to recognize revenue in a way that depicts the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The amendments in this update are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017 (our fiscal 2019), including interim periods within that reporting period, with early application permitted for periods beginning after December 31, 2016. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-08, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net), which clarifies how to apply the implementation guidance on principal versus agent considerations related to the sale of goods or services to a customer as updated by ASU 2014-09. In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-10, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing, which clarifies two aspects of Topic 606: identifying performance obligations and the licensing implementation guidance, while retaining the related principles for those areas, as updated by ASU 2014-09. In May 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-12, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients, which makes narrow scope amendments to Topic 606 including implementation issues on collectability, non-cash consideration and completed contracts at transition. We are currently evaluating the effects the adoption of this guidance will have on our consolidated financial statements.
In November 2015, the FASB, issued ASU, 2015-17, Income Taxes—Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes, which requires that all deferred tax assets and liabilities be classified as noncurrent in a classified balance sheet. The new standard is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2016 (our fiscal 2018). We have early adopted the ASU as of June 30, 2016. We have adopted this accounting standard prospectively; accordingly, the prior period amounts in our consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2016 were not adjusted to conform to the new accounting standard.
In January 2015, the FASB, issued ASU 2015-01, Income Statement—Extraordinary and Unusual Items, which eliminates the requirement to consider whether an event or transaction is extraordinary. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2015 (our fiscal 2017). We do not anticipate the adoption of this amendment to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements—Going Concern, which provides guidance about management’s responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern or to provide related footnote disclosures. The amendments in this update are effective for the annual periods ending after December 15, 2016 (our fiscal 2018). We do not anticipate the adoption of this amendment to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements
In June 2014, the FASB, issued ASU 2014-12, Compensation-Stock Compensation which applies to all reporting entities that grant their employees share-based payments in which the terms of the award provide that a performance
71
target that affects vesting could be achieved after the requisite service period. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2015 (our fiscal 2017). We do not anticipate the adoption of this amendment to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

3. BANK BORROWINGS
On November 21, 2014, we entered into a Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with Wells Fargo Bank, as administrative agent and the lenders party thereto. The Credit Agreement provides for the extension of revolving loans (“Revolving Loans”) in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $10.0 million, and a term loan (“Term Loan”) in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $10.0 million, but in each case limited by an amount not to exceed 60% of our trailing twelve month recurring revenues from subscription and support fees attributable to software, as calculated under the Credit Agreement. The obligations under the Credit Agreement mature on November 21, 2019.
Borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear interest, in the case of LIBOR rate loans, at a per annum rate equal to the applicable LIBOR rate, plus 4.75%. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement that are not LIBOR rate loans bear interest at a per annum rate equal to (i) the greatest of (A) the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.50%, (B) the one month LIBOR rate plus 1.00% per annum, and (C) the rate of interest announced, from time to time, by Wells Fargo Bank, National Association as its “prime rate,” plus (ii) 3.75%.
We will pay certain recurring fees with respect to the Credit Agreement, including servicing fees to the administrative agent. Prior to the first anniversary of the closing date of the Credit Agreement voluntary repayments of the Term Loan, voluntary permanent reductions of the commitment related to the Revolving Loans and certain mandatory prepayments are subject a prepayment premium of 1.0% of the amount prepaid or reduced.
Subject to certain exceptions, the loans extended under the Credit Agreement are subject to customary mandatory prepayment provisions with respect to the following: net proceeds from certain asset sales; net proceeds from certain issuances or incurrences of debt (other than debt permitted to be incurred under the terms of the Credit Agreement); net proceeds of certain judgments, settlements and other claims or causes of action of us; and a portion with step-downs based upon the achievement of a financial covenant linked to the Leverage Ratio; as such term is defined in the Credit Agreement of our annual excess cash flow and our subsidiaries, and with such required prepayment amount to be reduced dollar-for-dollar by any voluntary prepayments of term loans.
The Credit Agreement contains customary representations and warranties, subject to limitations and exceptions, and customary covenants restricting our ability and our subsidiaries to: incur additional indebtedness; incur liens; engage in mergers or other fundamental changes; consummate acquisitions; sell certain property or assets; change the nature of their business; prepay or amend certain indebtedness; pay dividends, other distributions or repurchase our equity interests or our subsidiaries; make investments; or engage in certain transactions with affiliates. In addition, the Credit Agreement contains financial covenants which initially require us to achieve minimum EBITDA and liquidity levels. However, subject to the conditions of the Credit Agreement, once we have achieved (but in any event no earlier than June 30, 2016) a minimum Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) of 1.50 to 1.00 and a Leverage Ratio of less than 2.50 to 1.00, we will be required to comply with a minimum Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio and a specific Leverage Ratio.
The Credit Agreement contains customary events of default, including with respect to: nonpayment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts; failure to perform or observe covenants; monetary judgment defaults; bankruptcy, insolvency and dissolution events; cross-default to other material indebtedness; material inaccuracy of a representation or warranty when made; failure to perfect a lien; actual or asserted invalidity or impairment of any definitive loan documentation or repudiation of guaranties; or a change of control.
As a condition to entering into the Credit Agreement, we pledged substantially all assets such as accounts receivable and property and equipment as collateral for the benefit of Wells Fargo Bank.
On September 2, 2015, the Company entered into Amendment Number One (the “Amendment”) to that certain Credit Agreement, dated as of November 21, 2014 (as further amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time), among us, the lenders, and Wells Fargo Bank, as administrative agent. Pursuant to the Amendment, we increased the total maximum revolving loan commitments thereunder from $10.0 million to $15.0 million and increased the quarterly amortization payments of the term loan under the Credit Agreement to $187,500 for the quarters ending September 30, 2015 through December 31, 2015 and $250,000 in each quarter ending thereafter. Borrowings under the Amendment bear interest, in the case of LIBOR rate loans, at a per annum rate equal to the applicable LIBOR rate, plus 7.0%. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement that are not LIBOR rate loans bear interest at a per annum rate
73
equal to the rate of interest announced, from time to time, by Wells Fargo Bank, National Association as its “prime rate,” plus 6.0%. In connection with the Amendment, certain fees were also modified such that prior to the first anniversary of the Amendment, voluntary repayments of the Term Loan, voluntary permanent reductions of the commitment related to the Revolving Loans and certain mandatory prepayments will be subject a prepayment premium of 1.0% of the amount prepaid or reduced. The financial covenants concerning minimum EBITDA and liquidity levels contained in the Credit Agreement were modified in the Amendment as follows:
|
1. we are required to achieve minimum EBITDA of not more negative than $1.68 million for the three (3) month period ended September 30, 2015 and not more negative than $2.228 million for the six (6) month period ending December 31, 2015. Thereafter, minimum EBITDA levels will be based on amounts agreed to by us and the requisite lenders based upon annual projections delivered to the agent, and the failure to reach an agreement on reset minimum EBITDA levels acceptable to the agent in its sole discretion shall constitute an event of default under the Credit Agreement; and |
|
2. we are required to achieve minimum liquidity of at least $5.5 million for the month ended September 30, 2015; $6.5 million for the month ending October 31, 2015, $7.5 million for the month ending November 30, 2015 and $10.0 million for the month ending December 31, 2015 and at all times thereafter. |
As of June 30, 2016, we are in compliance with these financial covenant terms. Given the Company and Wells Fargo Bank are in discussions about the basis for determining minimum EBITDA for the month ending June 30, 2016, there was no minimum EBITDA value applicable for the period.
As of June 30, 2016, balances on the Term Loan and Revolving Loans were $8.9 million and $12.7 million, respectively. As of June 30, 2015, balances on the Term Loan and Revolving Loans were $9.75 million and $9.5 million, respectively.

As of June 30, 2016, we had federal and state net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $215.8 million and $35.4 million, respectively. The net operating loss carryforwards will expire at various dates beginning in 2019 through 2035, if not utilized. Partial amounts of the net operating losses are generated from the exercise of options and the tax benefit would be credited directly to stockholders’ equity (deficit). We also had federal research and development credit carryforwards of approximately $2.7 million as of June 30, 2016 which will expire at various dates beginning in 2016 through 2035, if not utilized. The California research and development credit carryforwards are approximately $4.0 million as of June 30, 2016 and have an indefinite carryover period. We also have U.K. net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $4.7 million as of June 30, 2016.
Utilization of the Federal and California net operating losses and credits may be subject to a substantial limitation due to the “change in ownership” provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 and similar state provisions. The annual limitation may result in the expiration of net operating losses and credits before utilization.
75
Deferred tax assets and liabilities reflect the net tax effects of net operating loss and credit carryforwards and of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting and the amounts used for income tax purposes.

ASC 740, Income Taxes, provides for the recognition of deferred tax assets if realization of such assets is more likely than not. For the legacy eGain business in the United States, based upon the weight of available evidence, which includes our historical operating performance and the reported cumulative net losses in all prior years, we have provided a full valuation allowance against our net deferred tax assets. For the legacy eGain business in the United Kingdom, the Company has determined based on the positive evidence it would be able to utilize the deferred tax assets and therefore released the valuation allowance against the deferred tax assets in the United Kingdom. The remaining eGain foreign operations as well as Exony’s business have historically been profitable and we believe it is more likely than not that those assets will be realized. Our tax provision primarily relates to foreign activities as well as state income taxes. Our income tax rate differs from the statutory tax rates primarily due to the utilization of net operating loss carryforwards which had previously been valued against as well as our foreign operations.
The net valuation allowance increased by $2.3 million for the year ended June 30, 2016, compared to the increase of $4.5 million for year ended June 30, 2015, and the increase of $914,000 for year ended June 30, 2014, respectively.
Deferred tax liabilities have not been recognized for $12.2 million of undistributed earnings of our foreign subsidiaries as of June 30, 2016. It is our intention to reinvest such undistributed earnings indefinitely in our foreign subsidiaries. If we distribute these earnings, in the form of dividends or otherwise, we would be subject to both United States income taxes (net of applicable foreign tax credits) and withholding taxes payable to the foreign jurisdiction.

We recognize accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in the income tax (benefit) provision, and the amounts were insignificant for the last three fiscal years.
We do not anticipate the amount of existing unrecognized tax benefits will significantly increase or decrease within the next 12 months. We file income tax returns in the United States, and various state and foreign jurisdictions. In these jurisdictions tax years 1994-2015 remain subject to examination by the appropriate governmental agencies due to tax loss carryovers from those years.

Preferred Stock
We are authorized to issue 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock with a par value of $0.001 per share, and no shares of preferred stock are outstanding. Our board of directors has the authority, without further action by our stockholders, to issue up to 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock in one or more series and to fix the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions thereof. These rights, preferences and privileges could include dividend rights, conversion rights, voting rights, terms of redemption, liquidation preferences, sinking fund terms and the number of shares constituting any series or the designation of such series, any or all of which may be greater than the rights of the common stock.
2005 Management Stock Option Plan
In May 2005, our board of directors adopted the 2005 Management Stock Option Plan, or the 2005 Management Plan, which provides for the grant of non-statutory stock options to directors, officers and key employees of eGain and its subsidiaries. The Plan was increased by 500,000 shares of common stock in November 2007, 500,000 shares of common stock in September 2011 and 1.0 million shares of common stock in September 2014. Our board also extended the expiration date of the of the 2005 Management Stock Option Plan to September 30, 2024. Options under the 2005 Management Plan are granted at a price not less than 100% of the fair market value of the common stock on the date of grant. Options granted under the 2005 Management Plan are subject to eGain’s right of repurchase, whose right shall lapse with respect to one-forty-eighth (1/48th) of the shares granted to a director, officer or key employee for each month of continuous service provided by such director, officer or key employee to eGain. The options granted under this plan are exercisable for up to ten years from the date of grant.

2005 Stock Incentive Plan
In March 2005, our board of directors adopted the 2005 Stock Incentive Plan, the 2005 Incentive Plan, which provides for the grant of stock options to eGain’s employees, officers, directors and consultants. The 2005 Stock Incentive Plan was subsequently amended in February 2009, September 2011, and in September 2014. In September 2014, our board of directors approved an increase in the 2005 Incentive Plan by 1.0 million shares of common stock, extend the expiration date of the 2005 Stock Incentive Plan to September 30, 2024 and made certain other changes. Options granted under the 2005 Incentive Plan are either incentive stock options or non-statutory stock options. Incentive stock options may be granted to employees with exercise prices of no less than the fair value of the common stock on the date of grant. The options generally vest ratably over a period of four years and expire no later than ten years from the date of grant.

2000 Non-Management Stock Option Plan
In July 2000, our board of directors adopted the 2000 Non-Management Stock Option Plan, or the 2000 Plan, which provided for the grant of non-statutory stock options to our employees, advisors and consultants of eGain. Options under the 2000 Plan were granted at a price not less than 85% of the fair market value of the common stock on the date of grant. Our board of directors determines the fair market value (as defined in the 2000 Plan) of the common stock, date of grant and vesting schedules of the options granted. The options generally vest ratably over 4 years and expire no later than 10 years from the date of grant. This plan expired in July 2010 and there are no further options available to grant under the 2000 Plan.

1998 Stock Plan
In June 1998, our board of directors adopted the 1998 Stock Plan, or the 1998 Plan, which provides for grant of stock options to eligible participants. Options granted under the 1998 Plan are either incentive stock options or non-statutory stock options. Incentive stock options may be granted to employees with exercise prices of no less than the fair value of the common stock and non-statutory options may be granted to eligible participants at exercise prices of no less than 85% of the fair value of the common stock on the date of grant. Our board of directors determines the fair market value (as defined in the 1998 Plan) of the common stock, date of grant and vesting schedules of the options granted. The options generally vest ratably over a period of four years and expire no later than 10 years from the date of grant. Options are generally exercisable upon grant, subject to our repurchase rights until vested. This plan expired in November 2010 and there are no further options available to grant under the 1998 Plan.

The aggregate intrinsic value in the preceding table represents the total intrinsic value based on stock options with a weighted average exercise price less than our closing stock price of $2.82 as of June 30, 2016 that would have been received by the option holders, had they exercised their options on June 30, 2016. The total intrinsic value of stock options exercised during fiscal years 2016, 2015 and 2014 was $53,000, $1.0 million, and $3.8 million, respectively.

Stock-Based Compensation
Stock-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and is recognized as expense over the vesting period. All of our stock-based compensation is accounted for as an equity instrument.
The table below summarizes the effect of stock-based compensation (in thousands, except per share amounts):

We utilized the Black-Scholes valuation model for estimating the fair value of the stock-based compensation of options granted. All shares of our common stock issued pursuant to our stock option plans are only issued out of an authorized reserve of shares of common stock, which were previously registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission on a registration statement on Form S-8.
During the fiscal years ended June 30, 2016, 2015 and 2014 there were 298,650, 928,000, and 583,250 options granted, respectively, with a weighted average fair value of $2.06, $3.50, and $5.93, per share, respectively, using the following assumptions:

The dividend yield of zero is based on the fact that we have never paid cash dividends and have no present intention to pay cash dividends. We determined the appropriate measure of expected volatility by reviewing historic volatility in the share price of our common stock, as adjusted for certain events that management deemed to be non-recurring and non-indicative of future events. The risk-free interest rate is derived from the average U.S. Treasury Strips rate with maturities approximating the expected lives of the awards during the period, which approximate the rate in effect at the time of the grant.
We base our estimate of expected life of a stock option on the historical exercise behavior, and cancellations of all past option grants made by the company during the time period which its equity shares have been publicly traded, the contractual term of the option, the vesting period and the expected remaining term of the outstanding options.
Total compensation cost, net of forfeitures, for all options granted but not yet vested as of June 30, 2016 was $0.9 million, which is expected to be recognized over the weighted average period of 1.29 years.
Note 6. Acquisition
On July 30, 2014, we entered into a Share Purchase Agreement (“Purchase Agreement”) with Exony Limited, a privately held United Kingdom company (“Exony”), and certain of its shareholders (collectively, the “Shareholders”), pursuant to which we agreed to acquire all the outstanding share capital of Exony for (A) an aggregate of 1,209,308 shares of the Company’s common stock, $0.001 par value per share (“Company Stock”), with a value of $8.02 million as of August 6, 2014, the closing date of the acquisition (based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock as of such date) and (B) an aggregate of $8.13 million in cash (collectively “Acquisition Consideration”), with 15% of each of the
81
cash and Company Stock being held in an escrow account to secure certain indemnification obligations of the Shareholders. The Acquisition Consideration is subject to an adjustment based on Exony’s working capital as of the closing. The other purchase consideration relates to two shareholders of Exony who have the right to exercise their options within six months from the acquisition date which entitles them to $299,000 (45,119 shares) of Company Stock and $341,000 of cash acquisition consideration. The cash portion of the transaction was funded from eGain’s existing cash and its available credit facility. We have incurred acquisition costs of approximately $844,000 through June 30, 2015, which are included in general and administrative expenses.
The purchase price for this acquisition had been allocated based on estimates of the fair values of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities at the date of acquisition as follows (in thousands):

The allocation of the purchase price consideration was based on estimates of fair value; such estimates and assumptions are subject to change within the measurement period (up to one year from the acquisition date). As of June 30, 2015, we finalized the working capital adjustment and other purchase consideration, adjusting goodwill down by $44,000. Such values were updated in the purchase consideration noted in the table above.
Included in the acquisition of Exony are operating lease commitments for office space in Newbury, England. The annual lease payment for a 5 year term lease is approximately $260,000 and $91,000 for a 2 year term lease.
The goodwill of $8.3 million arising from the Exony acquisition largely reflects the expansion of our service offerings complementary to our existing products. As Exony is considered an innovative contact center software provider, the acquisition was intended to extend eGain's platform with contact center management, reporting and analytics capabilities to our customers.

The operating results for this acquisition are included in the consolidated results of operations from August 6, 2014 (the date of acquisition). The Company determined that it is impracticable to provide comparative pro forma financial information related to the acquisition. Exony, a private company, did not historically prepare financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP for interim financial reporting. Accordingly, significant estimates of amounts to be included in pro forma financial information would be required and subject to an inordinate level of subjectivity. For fiscal year ended 2016 and 2015, Exony contributed revenues of $11.2 million and $11.0 million, respectively, and net income of $3.7 million and $793,000, respectively.
7. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Leases
We lease our facilities under non-cancelable operating leases that expire on various dates through fiscal year 2022. On May 14, 2014, we entered into the First Amendment to the office lease for our Sunnyvale facility to extend the term of the lease through March, 2022 and lea se additional space in the current premises. The term of the additional space commenced on August 5, 2015 and is scheduled to expire on March 31, 2022. As part of the lease extension, the landlord will provide the company with a tenant improvement allowance during 2015 through 2016 of $411,000. Our lease agreements provide us with the option to renew. We recognize rent expense, which includes fixed escalation amounts in addition to minimum lease payment, on a straight-line basis over each lease term. The difference between the amount
83
paid for rent and the amount recognized under the straight-line basis is recorded as a deferred rent liability. The deferred rent liability was $364,000 and $39,000 as of June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. We lease certain equipment and software under operating and capital leases with various expiration dates.
Rent expense, net of rental income, for facilities under operating leases was $1.9 million, $1.4 million, and $1.4 million, for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively.
We entered into a sublease agreement that commenced on August 8, 2015 and will expire on August 31, 2016. Rental income from the sublease was approximately $426,000 for the year ended June 30, 2016. The sublease tenant did not renew and in accordance with ASC 420 Exit or Disposal Cost Obligations, we recorded a $305,000 lease exit liability and related rent expense on June 30, 2016 for an expected loss on the sublease for approximately 22,000 square feet of space as we will not receive sublease payments until another sublease tenant is found. The sublease is under our master lease agreement for our Sunnyvale facility. We are actively marketing this office space and will reevaluate the sublease exit liability in the first quarter of fiscal 2017. We classified all of the $305,000 lease exit liability in current liabilities in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets as of June 30, 2016. We expect the future minimum lease payments under non-cancellable operating leases to be offset with sub-lease income, once a tenant is secured.
A summary of future minimum lease payments is as follows (in thousands):

Cloud Services
We have agreements with third parties to provide co-location services for cloud operations that expire on various dates through fiscal year 2017. The agreements require payment of a minimum amount per month in return for which the cloud services provider provides co-location services with certain guarantees of network availability. Rental expense for co-location centers was $1.1 million, $1.2 million, and $882,000 for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Our commitment for minimum payments under the leases as of June 30, 2016 is $312,000 through year 2017.
Contractual Obligations and Commitments
Contractual agreements with third parties consist of software licenses, maintenance and support for our operations. As of June 30, 2016, future payments for non-cancellable contractual agreements are $976,000 and $564,000 in fiscal years 2017 and 2018, respectively.

Employee benefit plans
Defined Contribution Plans
We sponsor an employee savings and retirement plan, the 401(k) Plan, as allowed under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. The 401(k) Plan is available to all domestic employees who meet minimum age and service requirements, and provides employees with tax deferred salary deductions and alternative investment options. Employees may contribute up to 60% of their salary, subject to certain limitations. We, at the discretion of our board of directors, may contribute to the 401(k) Plan. In fiscal years 2016, 2015 and 2014, we contributed approximately $446,000, $391,000 and zero to the 401(k) Plan, respectively. We also have a defined contribution plan related to our foreign subsidiaries. Amounts expensed under this plan were $636,000, $1.1 million, and $395,000 for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively.
Gratuity Plan—India
In accordance with Gratuity Act of 1972, we sponsor a defined benefit plan, or the Gratuity Plan, for all of our Indian employees. The Gratuity Plan is required by local law, which provides a lump sum payment to vested employees upon retirement or termination of employment in an amount based on each employee’s salary and duration of employment with the company. The Gratuity Plan benefit cost for the year is calculated on an actuarial basis. Current service costs and actuarial gains or losses, or prior service cost, for the Gratuity Plan were insignificant for the fiscal years 2016, 2015 and 2014.
Severance Pay – Italy
We accrue a severance provision and pay related taxes to local governmental agencies consistent with local regulatory requirements. There were no severance plan expenses for fiscal year 2016 and insignificant plan expenses for fiscal years 2015 and 2014.We closed the Italy office during fiscal year 2016.
Warranty
We generally warrant that the program portion of our software will perform substantially in accordance with certain specifications for a period up to one year from the date of delivery. Our liability for a breach of this warranty is either a return of the license fee or providing a fix, patch, work-around or replacement of the software.
We also provide standard warranties against and indemnification for the potential infringement of third party intellectual property rights to our customers relating to the use of our products, as well as indemnification agreements with certain officers and employees under which we may be required to indemnify such persons for liabilities arising out of their duties to us. The terms of such obligations vary. Generally, the maximum obligation is the amount permitted by law.
Historically, costs related to these warranties have not been significant. However, we cannot guarantee that a warranty reserve will not become necessary in the future.
Indemnification
We have also agreed to indemnify our directors and executive officers for costs associated with any fees, expenses, judgments, fines and settlement amounts incurred by any of these persons in any action or proceeding to which any of those persons is, or is threatened to be, made a party by reason of the person’s service as a director or officer, including any action by us, arising out of that person’s services as our director or officer or that person’s services provided to any other company or enterprise at our request.
Transfer pricing
We have received transfer-pricing assessments from tax authorities with regard to transfer pricing issues for certain fiscal years, which we have appealed with the appropriate authority. We review the status of each significant matter and
85
assess its potential financial exposure. We believe that such assessments are without merit and would not have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements.
8. LITIGATION
In the ordinary course of business, we are involved in various legal proceedings and claims related to alleged infringement of third-party patents and other intellectual property rights, commercial, corporate and securities, labor and employment, wage and hour, and other claims. We have been, and may in the future be, put on notice and/or sued by third parties for alleged infringement of their proprietary rights, including patent infringement.
We evaluate all claims and lawsuits with respect to their potential merits, our potential defenses and counterclaims, settlement or litigation potential and the expected effect on us. Our technologies may be subject to injunction if they are found to infringe the rights of a third party. In addition, our agreements require us to indemnify our customers for third-party intellectual property infringement claims, which could increase the cost to us of an adverse ruling on such a claim.
9. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT
ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement and Disclosures, defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value of assets and liabilities, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market for the assets or liabilities in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Subsequent changes in fair value of these financial assets and liabilities are recognized in earnings or other comprehensive income when they occur. ASC 820 applies whenever other statements require or permit assets or liabilities to be measured at fair value.
ASC 820 includes a fair value hierarchy, of which the first two are considered observable and the last unobservable, that is intended to increase the consistency and comparability in fair value measurements and related disclosures. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. Observable inputs reflect assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability based on market data obtained from independent sources while unobservable inputs reflect a reporting entity’s pricing based upon their own market assumptions.
The fair value hierarchy consists of the following three levels:
Level 1 – instrument valuations are obtained from real-time quotes for transactions in active exchange markets involving identical assets.
Level 2 – instrument valuations are obtained from readily-available pricing sources for comparable instruments.
Level 3 – instrument valuations are obtained without observable market value and require a high level of judgment to determine the fair value.
As of June 30, 2016 and 2015, we did not have any Level 1, 2 or 3 assets or liabilities.
10. SHARE REPURCHASE PROGRAM
On September 14, 2009, we announced that our board of directors approved a repurchase program under which we may purchase up to 1,000,000 shares of our common stock. The duration of the repurchase program is open-ended. Under the program, we purchase shares of common stock from time to time through the open market and privately negotiated transactions at prices deemed appropriate by management. The repurchase is funded by cash on hand. There were no shares repurchased during fiscal years 2016, 2015 and 2014.

ITEM 9.CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE
None.
ITEM 9A.CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. We maintain “disclosure controls and procedures,” as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the Exchange Act, that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the disclosure controls and procedures are met. Our disclosure controls and procedures have been designed to meet reasonable assurance standards. Additionally, in designing disclosure controls and procedures, our management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible disclosure controls and procedures. The design of any disclosure controls and procedures also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.
Based on their evaluation as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of June 30, 2016, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.
Changes in Internal Controls. There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during our last fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f). Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluation of the effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in Internal Control—Integrated Framework (2013 Framework) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on our evaluation under the framework in Internal Control—Integrated Framework (2013 Framework), our management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of June 30, 2016.
Our independent registered public accounting firm, Burr Pilger Mayer, Inc., which audited our consolidated financial statements in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, independently assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Burr Pilger Mayer, Inc. has issued an attestation report, which appears as part of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
Board of Directors and Stockholders
eGain Corporation
Sunnyvale, California
We have audited the internal control over financial reporting of eGain Corporation and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of June 30, 2016, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework (2013 Framework) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”). The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting included in the accompanying Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
In our opinion, eGain Corporation and its subsidiaries maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2016, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework (2013 Framework) by COSO.
We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheets of eGain Corporation and its subsidiaries as of June 30, 2016 and 2015, and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive loss, stockholders’ equity (deficit), and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended June 30, 2016, and the related financial statement schedule and our report dated September 13, 2016 expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements and the related financial statement schedule.
