1. Business Organization and Nature of Operations

 

Globalwise Investments, Inc. (“Globalwise”) is a Nevada holding company incorporated in 1997, with a single operating subsidiary, Intellinetics, Inc. (“Intellinetics”), together the (“Company”). On February 10, 2012 (the “Closing Date”), Globalwise entered into a Securities Exchange Agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”) by and between itself and Intellinetics. Pursuant to the terms of the Exchange Agreement, all of the former shareholders of Intellinetics transferred to Globalwise all of their shares of Intellinetics in exchange for shares of common stock (“Share Exchange”) of Globalwise. Prior to the Share Exchange, Globalwise was a non-operating public shell company. As a result of the Share Exchange, Intellinetics became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Globalwise. The Share Exchange was accounted for as a reverse merger and recapitalization of Intellinetics (See Note 4 – Share Exchange). The Company is an enterprise content management (ECM) software development, sales and marketing company serving both the public and private sectors. In the public sector, the Company’s products, services and process models serve, principally, the critical needs of law enforcement and compliance agencies within the state and local government establishment. Intellinetics was formed in December 1996 as a corporation in the state of Ohio.

 

The Company provides its software solutions principally through (i) the direct licensing of its software installed on customer computer platforms and (ii) providing the applications as a service, accessible through the internet. The Company’s comprehensive solutions include services that range from pre-installation assessment, project scoping, implementation, consulting and ongoing software maintenance and customer support.

 

2. Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8.03 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal accruals) considered for a fair presentation of the consolidated financial position of the Company as of June 30, 2014 and the consolidated results of its operations and cash flows for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and June 30, 2013, have been included. The Company has evaluated subsequent events through the issuance of this Form 10-Q. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2014 or any other interim or future period. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2013 included in the Company’s Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 31, 2014.

 

The Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2014 includes the impact of the restatement on the applicable unaudited financial information for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013. In addition, our September 30, 2014 Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q 2014 will also include the impacts of the restatement on applicable 2013 comparable prior quarters. The restatement relates to the overstatement of revenue on one customer contract during the three months ended June 30, 2013 which was identified by the Company and corrected in the fourth quarter of 2013 and had no impact on the statement of operations and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2013.

 

The effect of the restatement on previously issued quarterly financial information as of and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 is set forth as follows:

3. Liquidity and Management's Plans

 

Through June 30, 2014, the Company has incurred an accumulated deficit since inception of $8,584,906. At June 30, 2014, the Company had a cash balance of $381,092.

 

From the Company’s inception, it has generated revenues from the sales and implementation of its internally generated software applications.

 

The Company’s plan is to increase its sales and market share by developing an expanded network of resellers through which the Company will sell its expanded software product portfolio. The Company expects that this marketing initiative will require that it hire and develop an expanded sales force and enhance its product marketing efforts, all of which will require additional capital.

 

The Company expects that through the next 12 months, the capital requirements to fund the Company’s growth and to cover the operating costs as a public company will consume substantially all of the cash flows that it intends to generate from its operations, as well as the funds raised in the private placement discussed elsewhere in this Form 10-Q, in addition to proceeds of any issuances of debt and equity securities, if consummated. The Company further believes that during this period, while the Company is focusing on the growth and expansion of its business, the gross profit that it expects to generate from operations will not generate sufficient funds to cover these anticipated operating costs. Our cash requirements are insufficient by approximately $180,000 per month. Accordingly, the Company used the proceeds from the private placement to sustain operations and to follow through on the execution of its business plan. Assuming over the next 12 months, we do not increase our cash flow generated from operations, we will need an additional $2,160,000 to $2,560,000 to fund planned operations. There is no assurance that the Company’s plans as discussed above will materialize and/or that the Company will have sufficient funds to fund the Company’s operations. Given these conditions, the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is contingent upon successfully managing its cash requirements. In addition, the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern must be considered in light of the problems, expenses and complications frequently encountered by entrants into established markets, the competitive environment in which the Company operates and its cash requirements. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

Since inception, the Company’s operations have primarily been funded through a combination of operating margins, state business development loans, bank loans and loans from friends and family. Although management believes that the Company has access to capital resources, there are currently no commitments in place for new financing at this time, and there is no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain funds on commercially acceptable terms, if at all.

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2014, the Company raised $840,000 in net new funds through the issuance of convertible promissory notes to accredited investors and related parties. On July 7, 2014 the Company received an additional $10,000 from an additional accredited investor. The proceeds from these notes were used to fund the Company’s working capital needs and repayment of other debt.

 

The Company expects to use the remaining funds raised to fund the Company’s operations, including the compliance costs as a public company, and to fund the Company’s plans to increase staff and operations to complete the build-out of its expanded reseller network which the Company believes will enable it to expand into additional markets and deepen its penetration of existing markets. The current level of cash and operating margins may not be enough to cover the existing fixed and variable obligations of the Company, so increased revenue performance and the addition of capital are critical to the Company’s success.

 

The Company’s financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should it be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

4. Share Exchange

 

On February 10, 2012, Intellinetics was acquired by Globalwise pursuant to the Share Exchange, with Intellinetics remaining as a wholly- owned subsidiary of Globalwise.

 

In connection with the consummation of the Share Exchange, (i) the stockholders of Intellinetics surrendered all of the issued and outstanding shares of Intellinetics capital stock and received, in exchange for such shares, an aggregate of 28,034,850 shares of common stock of Globalwise on a 4,650-for-1 basis which represented approximately 86 % of the Company’s total shares outstanding immediately following the closing of the transaction; and (ii) Intellinetics paid $ 220,000 in advance of the closing and $85,000 upon the closing of the Share Exchange to the stockholders of Globalwise to provide both a reimbursement of professional fees incurred by Globalwise and for the split-off of the net liabilities of Globalwise at closing.

 

The Share Exchange was accounted for as a “reverse merger”. Furthermore, the Share Exchange was deemed to be a recapitalization of Intellinetics, and as such, all capital accounts were restated as if the Share Exchange had occurred prior to the earliest period presented. Intellinetics was deemed to be the acquirer in the Share Exchange for accounting purposes. Consequently, the assets and liabilities and the historical operations of the Company that are reflected in the financial statements prior to the Share Exchange are those of Intellinetics, and the consolidated financial statements of the Company after completion of the Share Exchange include the assets and liabilities of Intellinetics, historical operations of Intellinetics and operations of Intellinetics from the Closing Date of the Share Exchange.

5. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions. Such estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses. Actual results could differ from estimated amounts.

 

Significant estimates and assumptions include valuation allowance related to receivables, the recoverability of long-term assets, depreciable lives of property and equipment, deferred taxes and related valuation allowances. The Company’s management monitors these risks and assesses its business and financial risks on a quarterly basis.

 

Concentrations of Credit Risk

 

The Company maintains its cash with high credit quality financial institutions. At times, the Company’s cash and cash equivalents may be uninsured or in deposit accounts that exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insurance limit.

 

The number of customers that comprise the Company’s customer base, along with the different industries, governmental entities and geographic regions, in which the Company’s customers operate, limits concentrations of credit risk with respect to accounts receivable. The Company does not generally require collateral or other security to support customer receivables; however, the Company may require its customers to provide retainers, up-front deposits or irrevocable letters-of-credit when considered necessary to mitigate credit risk. The Company has established an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon facts surrounding the credit risk of specific customers and past collections history. Credit losses have been within management’s expectations. At June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company allowance for doubtful accounts was $28,674 and $27,635, respectively.

 

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment and leasehold improvements are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization is computed over the estimated useful lives of the related assets on a straight-line basis. Furniture and fixtures, computer hardware and purchased software are depreciated over 3 to 7 years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the life of the lease or the asset, whichever is shorter, generally 7 to 10 years. Upon retirement or other disposition of these assets, the cost and related accumulated depreciation and amortization of these assets are removed from the accounts and the resulting gains and losses are reflected in the results of operations.

 

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

 

The Company accounts for the impairment and disposition of long-lived assets in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 360, “Property, Plant, and Equipment.” The Company tests long-lived assets or asset groups, such as property and equipment, for recoverability when events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amount may not be recoverable.

 

Circumstances which could trigger a review include, but are not limited to: significant adverse changes in the business climate or legal factors; current period cash flow or operating losses combined with a history of losses or a forecast of continuing losses associated with the use of the asset; and a current expectation that the asset will more likely than not be sold or disposed of before the end of its estimated useful life.

 

9
 

 

Recoverability is assessed based on comparing the carrying amount of the asset to the aggregate pre-tax undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposal of the asset or asset group. Impairment is recognized when the carrying amount is not recoverable and exceeds the fair value of the asset or asset group. The impairment loss, if any, is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds fair value, which for this purpose is based upon the discounted projected future cash flows of the asset or asset group.

 

Share Based Compensation

 

The Company accounts for stock-based payments to employees in accordance with ASC 718, “Stock Compensation” (“ASC 718”). Stock-based payments to employees include grants of stock that are recognized in the consolidated statement of operations based on their fair values at the date of grant.

 

The Company accounts for stock-based payments to non-employees in accordance with ASC 718 and AC 505-50, “Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees,” which requires that such equity instruments are recorded at their fair value on the measurement date, with the measurement of such compensation being subject to periodic adjustment as the underlying equity instruments vest.

 

Both employee and non-employee grants of stock are fully vested at their respective date of grants. For the three months and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, there was no share-based compensation.

 

Software Development Costs

 

Software development costs for software to be sold or otherwise marketed incurred prior to the establishment of technological feasibility are expensed as incurred. The Company defines establishment of technological feasibility as the completion of a working model. Software development costs incurred subsequent to the establishment of technological feasibility through the period of general market availability of the product are capitalized, if material. To date, all software development costs for software to be sold or otherwise marketed have been expensed as incurred. In accordance with ASC 350-40, the Company capitalizes purchase and implementation costs of internal use software. No such costs were capitalized during the periods presented.

 

Valuation of Derivative Instruments

 

ASC Topic 814-40 (Formerly SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for derivative instruments and hedging activities"), requires that embedded derivative instruments be bifuricated and assessed, along with free-standing derivative instruments on their issuance date and in accordance with ASC Topic 815-40-15 (formerly EITF 00-19, "Accounting for derivative financial instruments indexed to, and potentially settled in, a company's own stock") to determine whether they should be considered a derivative liability and measured at their fair value for accounting purposes. The Company adjusts its derivative liability to fair value at each balance sheet date, and reflects the change in fair value, in its statement of operations as gain or loss on derivative.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

a) Sale of software

 

The Company recognizes revenues in accordance with ASC Topic 985-605, “Software Revenue Recognition” (“ASC 985-605”).

 

The Company records revenues from the sale of software licenses when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the software product has been installed, there are no significant uncertainties surrounding product acceptance by the customer, the fees are fixed and determinable, and collection is considered probable. Revenues included in this classification typically include sales of additional software licenses to existing customers and sales of software to the Company’s Resellers (See section h) – Reseller Agreements, below).

 

The Company assesses whether payment terms are customary or extended in accordance with normal practice relative to the market in which the sale is occurring. The Company’s sales arrangements generally include standard payment terms. These terms effectively relate to all customers, products, and arrangements regardless of customer type, product mix or arrangement size.

 

10
 

 

If an undelivered element for the arrangement exists under the license arrangement, revenues related to the undelivered element are deferred based on vendor specific objective evidence (“VSOE”) of the fair value of the undelivered element. Often, multiple-element sales arrangements include arrangements where software licenses and the associated post-contract customer support (“PCS”) are sold together. The Company has established VSOE of the fair value of the undelivered PCS element based on the contracted price for renewal PCS included in the original multiple element sales arrangement, as substantiated by contractual terms and the Company’s significant PCS renewal experience, from the Company’s existing customer base.

 

The Company records the revenues for the sales of software with professional services as prescribed by ASC 985-605, in accordance with the contract accounting guidelines in ASC 605-35, “Revenue Recognition: Construction-Type and Production-Type Contracts” (“ASC 605-35”), after evaluating for separation of any non-ASC 605-35 elements in accordance with the provisions of ASC 605-25, “Revenue Recognition: Multiple-Element Arrangements,” as updated. The Company accounts for these contracts under the completed contract method, as the Company believes that this method is most appropriate. The contract is considered to be complete when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the software has been installed on the customer’s site, there are no significant uncertainties surrounding acceptance by the customer, the fees are fixed and determinable, and collection is considered probable.

 

The fair value of any undelivered elements in multiple-element arrangements in connection with the sales of software licenses with professional services are deferred based upon VSOE.

 

b) Sale of software as a service

 

Sale of software as a service consists of revenues from arrangements that provide customers the use of the Company’s software applications, as a service, typically billed on a monthly or annual basis. Advance billings of these services are not recorded to the extent that the term of the arrangement has not commenced and payment has not been received. Revenue on these services is recognized ratably over the term of the underlying arrangement.

 

c) Sale of software maintenance services

 

Software maintenance support revenues consist of revenues derived from arrangements that provide PCS to the Company’s software license holders. These revenues are recognized ratably over the term of the contract. Advance billings of PCS are not recorded to the extent that the term of the PCS has not commenced and payment has not been received.

 

d) Sales of professional services

 

Professional services consist principally of revenues from consulting, advisory services, training and customer assistance with management and uploading of data into the Company’s applications. When these services are provided on a time and material basis, the Company records the revenue as the services are rendered, since the revenues from services rendered through any point in time during the performance period are not contingent upon the completion of any further services. Where the services are provided under a fixed priced arrangement, the Company records the revenue on a proportional performance method, since the revenues from services rendered through any point in time during the performance period are not contingent upon the completion of any further services.

 

e) Sales of third party services

 

Sales of third party services consist principally of third party software and/or equipment as a pass through of software and equipment purchased from third parties at the request of customers.

 

11
 

 

f) Deferred revenues

 

The Company records deferred revenue primarily related to software maintenance support agreements, when the customer pays for the contract prior to the time the services are performed. Substantially all maintenance agreements have a one-year term that commences immediately following the delivery of the maintained products or on the date of the applicable renewal period.

 

g) Rights of return and other incentives

 

The Company does not generally offer rights of return or any other incentives such as concessions, product rotation, or price protection and, therefore, does not provide for or make estimates of rights of return and similar incentives. The Company, from time to time, may discount bundled software sales with PCS services. Such discounts are recorded as a component of the software sale and any revenue related to PCS is deferred over the PCS period based upon appropriate VSOE of fair value.

 

h) Reseller agreements

 

The Company executes certain sales contracts through resellers and distributors (collectively, “Resellers”). The Company recognizes revenues relating to sales through Resellers when all the recognition criteria have been met—in other words, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred in the reporting period, the fee is fixed and determinable, and collectability is probable. In addition, the Company assesses the credit-worthiness of each Reseller, and if the Reseller is undercapitalized or in financial difficulty, any revenues expected to emanate from such Resellers are deferred and recognized only when cash is received and all other revenue recognition criteria are met.

 

Advertising

 

The Company expenses the cost of advertising as incurred. Advertising expense for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 amounted to approximately $1,541 and $3,430 and $6,698 and $10,072, respectively.

 

Earnings (Loss) Per Share

 

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. The company has outstanding stock options which have not been included in the calculation of diluted net loss per share because to do so would be anti-dilutive. As such, the numerator and the denominator used in computing both basic and diluted net loss per share for each period are the same.

 

6. Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment are comprised of the following:

 

   June 30,   December 31, 
   2014   2013 
Computer hardware and purchased software  $305,427   $301,908 
Leasehold improvements   221,666    221,666 
Furniture and fixtures   88,322    88,322 
    615,415    611,896 
Less: accumulated depreciation and amortization   (572,410)   (558,670)
Property and equipment, net  $43,005   $53,226 

 

Total depreciation expense on the Company’s property and equipment for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 amounted to $6,810 and $13,740, and $6,772 and $12,116, respectively.

7. Notes Payable

 

On March 24, 2004, the Company issued a note payable to a bank for $201,024 , bearing a current interest rate of 6.25 % per annum (the “Bank Loan”). Monthly principal and interest payments were $3,826. The final payment was paid on April 30, 2014. The Company does not have any on-going relationship with the lender.

 

On July 17, 2009, the Company issued a note payable to the Ohio State Development Authority in the amount of $1,012,500, bearing interest at a rate of 6.00 % per annum (“Authority Loan No. 1”). Pursuant to the terms of the loan, the Company was required to pay only interest through September 30, 2010 and then monthly principal and interest payments of $ 23,779 each through September 1, 2015 . The note is secured by a senior secured interest on all business assets financed with loan proceeds, as well as a second secured interest in all business assets. Upon maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, the Company shall pay a loan participation fee of $101,250 , which is accounted for as a loan premium, accreted monthly, utilizing the interest method, over the term of the loan. In June, 2014, Intellinetics and the Ohio State Development Authority entered into a Notice and Acknowledgement of Modification to Payment Schedule relating to Authority Loan No.1, deferring a portion of the principal and interest payment until June 1, 2015. As of June 30, 2014, the principal amount outstanding under Authority Loan No. 1 was $640,429.

 

On June 3, 2011, the Company issued a note payable to the Ohio State Development Authority in the amount of $750,000 , bearing interest at a rate of 1 % per annum for the first 12 months, then interest at rate of 7 % per annum for the second 12 months (“Authority Loan No. 2”). The Company was not obligated to remit payments of principal until September 1, 2013. The monthly principal and interest payments, beginning on the third anniversary of the loan origination, are $ 14,850 and are payable on a monthly basis through July 13, 2017. The note is secured by a senior secured interest on all business assets financed with loan proceeds, as well as a second secured interest in all business assets. Upon maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, the Company shall pay a loan participation fee of $ 75,000 , which is accounted for as a loan premium, accreted monthly utilizing the interest method, over the term of the loan. The interest rate of 1% during the first 12 months of this loan was considered to be below market for that period. The Company further determined that over the life of the loan, the effective interest rate was 5.6 % per annum. Accordingly, during the first 12 months of the loan, the Company recorded interest expense at the 5.6 % rate per annum. The difference between the interest expense accrual at 5.6% and the stated rate of 1% over the first 12 months is credited to deferred interest. The deferred interest amount that is accumulated over the first 12 months of the loan term will be amortized as a reduction to interest expense over the remaining term of the loan. At June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 deferred interest of $78,869 and $ 83,942 , respectively, was reflected within long-term liabilities on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. In June, 2014, Intellinetics and the Ohio State Development Authority entered into a Notice and Acknowledgement of Modification to Payment Schedule, deferring a portion of the principal and interest payment until June 1, 2015. As of June 30, 2014, the principal amount outstanding under Authority Loan No. 2 was $697,006.

 

The Authority Loans were granted to the Company in connection with the State of Ohio’s economic development programs. The proceeds from these loans were used by the Company to support its efforts in developing software solutions for its customers.

 

These Authority Loans are subject to certain covenants and reporting requirements. The material covenants include:

  = Providing quarterly financial information and management certifications;
  = Maintaining our principal office in the state of Ohio;
  = Maintaining insurance for risk of loss, public liability, and worker’s compensation;
  = Delivering notice in the event of default, any pending or threatened action that would materially impair the company;
  = Permitting the inspection of books, records, and premises;
  = Not selling or disposing of substantially all of our assets or equity or merging or consolidating with another entity without consent; and
  = Not pledging or encumbering our assets.

 

13
 

 

Additionally, Intellinetics is required to, within three years of the respective loan origination dates of each of the Authority Loans, have created and/or retained an aggregate of 25 full time jobs in the State of Ohio.   Should Intellinetics not have attained these employment levels by the respective dates, then the interest rates on the Authority Loans shall increase to 10% per annum. The Authority Loans are subject of an intercreditor agreement involving the Bank Loan, which provides for cross notifications between the lenders in an event of a default. We have had past instances of non-compliance with certain of the loan covenants.   We are currently in compliance with the loan covenants. There can be no assurance that we will not become non-compliant with one or more of these covenants in the future.

 

On August 7, 2012, the Company issued a $400,000 Promissory Note to a lender. The principal sum due to the lender was prorated based on the consideration actually funded by the lender, plus an approximate 10 % Original Issue Discount (“OID”) that was prorated based on the consideration actually funded by the lender as well as any other interest or fees, such that the Company was only required to repay the amount funded. The initial proceeds received on August 8, 2012 were $ 100,000, and the Company did not receive any further proceeds from the lender. On January 30, 2013, the Company paid off, in full, all principal plus fees in the total amount of $ 154,292. The termination of the option to exercise a beneficial conversion feature resulted in a derivative gain of $15,470 on January 30, 2013. The Company does not have any on-going relationship with the lender.

 

On November 12, 2013, the Company issued two convertible promissory notes in an aggregate amount of $160,000 to two accredited investors who are associated with each other.

13. Subsequent Events

 

The Company retained Taglich Brothers, Inc. (the “Placement Agent”) as a placement agent for the sale of the Convertible Notes, which sale concludes a private offering of debt in the amount of $500,000 (the “Offering”). Robert C. Schroeder, a director of the Company, is a Vice President with the Placement Agent. In connection with the Offering, the Company paid the Placement Agent in the form of a convertible note with a principal amount of $10,800 (with terms identical to the Convertible Notes set forth above), which represented an 8% commission of the gross proceeds. In addition, the Placement Agent earned warrants to purchase 168,750 shares of Common Stock, which represented 10% of the shares of Common Stock into which the Convertible Notes the Placement Agent sold in the Offering could be converted into at $0.08 per share (the “Placement Agent Warrants”), which have an exercise price of $0.08 per share of Common Stock, will be exercisable for a period of four years, contain customary cashless exercise and anti-dilution protection and are entitled to registration rights

 

On July 7, 2014, the Company issued a convertible promissory note in the amount of $10,000 (the “Note in an Aggregate Amount of $10,000”) to an accredited investor who is associated with other (the accredited investors collectively referred to as the “$450,000 Investors”). The Convertible Note matures on December 31, 2015 (the “Maturity Date”) and bear interest at an annual rate of interest of 10 percent until maturity, with interest payable quarterly. The Note Investor has a right, in his sole discretion, to convert the Convertible Notes into shares of Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Company under certain circumstances at a conversion rate of $0.08 per Share. If the Convertible Note have not been fully repaid by the Company by the Maturity Date or converted into shares at the election of the Convertible Note Investor prior to the Maturity Date, then such Convertible Note will accrue interest at the annual rate of 12% from the Maturity Date until the date the Convertible Note is repaid in full. Any interest not paid quarterly will also accrue interest at the annual rate of 12%. Under the terms of the Convertible Note, the Company agreed to seek shareholder approval to increase the number of authorized shares of the Company by at least 25,000,000 shares on or before September 30, 2014.

ITEM 2 MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

The following management’s discussion and analysis of financial conditions and results of operations of the Company for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, and 2013 should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and the notes to those financial statements that are included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q. References in this “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” to “the Company,” “us,” “we,” “our,” and similar terms refer to GlobalWise Investments, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“GlobalWise”), and its sole operating subsidiary, Intellinetics, Inc., an Ohio corporation (“Intellinetics”), unless we state otherwise or the context indicates otherwise.

 

This discussion includes forward-looking statements, as that term is defined in the federal securities laws, based upon current expectations that involve risks and uncertainties, such as plans, objectives, expectations and intentions. Actual results and the timing of events could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of a number of factors. Words such as “anticipate,” “estimate,” “plan,” “continuing,” “ongoing,” “expect,” “believe,” “intend,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “could,” and similar expressions are used to identify forward-looking statements.

 

We caution you that these statements are not guarantees of future performance or events and are subject to a number of uncertainties, risks and other influences, many of which are beyond our control, which may influence the accuracy of the statements and the projections upon which the statements are based. Factors that may affect our results include, but are not limited to, the risk factors that are included in Part I, Item IA of our 2013 Form 10-K. Any one or more of these uncertainties, risks and other influences could materially affect our results of operations and whether forward-looking statements made by us ultimately prove to be accurate. Our actual results, performance and achievements could differ materially from those expressed or implied in these forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether from new information, future events or otherwise.

 

Our Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations section discusses our 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 at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates and judgments, including those related to revenue recognition accrued expenses, financing operations, contingencies and litigation. We base our estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. The most significant accounting estimates inherent in the preparation of our financial statements include estimates as to the appropriate carry value of certain assets and liabilities which are not readily apparent from other sources. These accounting policies are described at relevant sections in this discussion and analysis and in the notes to the financial statements included in this report for the three months ended June 30, 2014.

The Amendment to effectuate the name change and reverse stock split shall be filed and made effective as soon as practicable.

 

Company Overview

 

The Company is an Enterprise Content Management (“ECM”) software development, sales and marketing company serving both the public and private sectors. The Company provides its software solutions principally through (i) the direct licensing of its software installed on customer computer platforms and (ii) providing the applications as a service, accessible through the internet. The latter delivery model is what is referred to as a “cloud-based” or “software as a service” (“SaaS”) model.

 

20
 

 

The Company’s software products allow customers to manage “enterprise content” (unstructured data such as hard-copy scanned documents, Word documents, Excel spreadsheets, JPEG files, images, pictures, faxes, audio/video files, emails, and PowerPoint presentations) through the complete document life cycle for that organization. The Company’s platform, Intellivue™, improves and enhances business operations for clients by making document and content management simple, accessible and affordable.   Our approach to deploying templates for specific business processes is designed to empower clients to affordably manage their documents entirely within the Intellivue™ platform.

 

To date, most of our software customers install our software onto computers at their location (premises-based). In time, the Company anticipates that the provision of “cloud” application services, or software as a service, will become a more significant part of its software sales business.  We anticipate that cloud-based services will become the principal part of our software sales business and a primary source of revenues for us, because this model allows customers to avoid significant upfront costs for hardware and installation services required for a premises-based delivery.  That said, we are just beginning to see our customers migrate to such cloud-based services. Our revenues from cloud-based delivery of our software, as a percentage of total revenue for the period ended June 30, 2014 and June 30, 2013, were 13% and 8% respectively.

 

Our current sales strategy is to focus our sales efforts toward a much greater percentage of sales through intermediaries, such as software resellers and multi-function device resellers, rather than through direct sales. We have developed marketing programs with resellers that facilitate their selling and support of our software solutions. We refer to these resellers as our “channel partners.”  We believe that our channel partner strategy improvements have increased the competitive strength of our platform of products. In addition, we have established a set of business solutions templates that provide base software configurations which we believe will facilitate our delivery and installation of software to our customers. We believe that these advancements, in the aggregate, will allow us to license and sell our products to a broader customer base, shortening our sales cycle, making margins more consistent, and allowing us to expand our sales through new channel partnerships.  In 2013, we devoted significant efforts, in both development and marketing, in bringing about this change in core strategic focus for the Company.

 

On December 31, 2013, we announced the MarketCommand™ reseller program for dealers in the print and imaging channel. The program is designed to generate additional revenues by packaging the GlobalWise cloud-based IntelliCloud™ platform as a feature of the multi-function devices (e.g., copiers, scanners, etc.) sold by dealers on the program. MarketCommand™ is desirable for the dealers because it can increase their revenue by increasing device sales and related IntelliCloud™ activation fees while increasing recurring revenue from customers that utilize more than the initial electronic storage capacity.

 

The Company gathered in-depth feedback from initial resellers when developing the MarketCommand™ program, to determine what business, technical, market positioning and service changes were needed to make it easier for resellers to sell document management software.   MarketCommand™ delivers the simplicity and power of delivering document-centric business solutions as a feature of the multi-function devices they already sell.

 

The first two MarketCommand™ resellers were on-boarded during the period ended March 31, 2014. Combined, the two resellers serve over 40,000 active customers with 180 sales people generating over $230,000,000 in revenue for those resellers. These initial partners have provided an opportunity to test the program’s tools and processes for effectiveness. Both partners have started generating new business under MarketCommand™ with strong positive feedback on program value to their business. The phased roll-out was completed by the end of the April, 2014. We have five resellers under our MarketCommand™ program in the quarter ended of June 30, 2014.

 

In our this initial launch year of MarketCommand™, we continue to make progress in the introduction of MarketCommand™ into our markets. To date, July 2014, we have sold 24 subscriptions of MarketCommand™. The base subscription price of MarketCommand™ is $500, which we recognize as revenue ratably over 12 months. Based on the ratable recognition of MarketCommand™ over a 12 month period, we anticipate that MarketCommand™ will not have a significant impact on our total revenues in 2014.

 

Revenues

Revenues are generated from the licensing, subscription and maintenance of our enterprise software products and from professional services fees in connection with the implementation and integration of software applications. Our revenues, especially our license revenues, are impacted by the competitive strength of our software products, as well as general economic and industry conditions.

 

For our sales of software, our customer base has traditionally been made up of customers with larger projects that can take as much as nine months to two years to complete. For these projects, our policy is to not recognize revenue until the project is complete and delivered to our customer. As such, there are spikes in our revenue when these projects are completed and the associated revenue is recognized. As a result, revenues for sales of software may vary widely from quarter to quarter.

 

21
 

 

Cost of Revenues

 

We maintain a staff of software design engineers, developers, installers and customer support personnel, dedicated to the development and implementation of customer applications, customer support and maintenance of deployed software applications. While the total costs related to these personnel are relatively consistent from period to period, the cost of revenues categories to which these costs are charged may vary depending on the type of work performed by our staff.

 

  Costs of revenues also include the costs of server hosting and Software as a Service applications, as well as certain third-party costs and hardware costs incurred. Third-party and hardware costs may vary widely from quarter to quarter.

 

In addition, while revenues are recognized upon the completion of software and consulting projects, the related costs are recognized when incurred, resulting in gross margins which may vary widely from period to period for these revenue categories.

 

Sales and Marketing Expenses

 

Sales expenses consist of compensation and overhead associated with the development and support of our channel sales network, as well as our direct sales efforts. Marketing expenses consist primarily of compensation and overhead associated with the development and production of product marketing materials, as well as promotion of the Company’s products through the trade and industry.

 

General and Administrative Expenses

 

General and administrative expenses consist of the compensation and overhead of administrative personnel and professional services firms performing administrative functions, including management, accounting, finance and legal services, plus expenses associated with infrastructure, including information technology, telecommunications, facilities and insurance.

 

Interest, Net

 

Interest, net, consists primarily of interest expense associated with our notes payable. See Results of Operations – Interest Expense – Net, for additional information.

 

How We Evaluate our Business Performance and Opportunities

 

Major Quantitative and Qualitative Factors we Consider in the Evaluation of our Business

 

The major qualitative and quantitative factors we consider in the evaluation of our operating results include the following:

 

  · Our current strategy is to focus upon cloud-based delivery of our software products through channel partners.   Historically, our revenues have mostly resulted from premise-based software licensing revenue and professional services revenue. Our observation of industry trends leads us to anticipate that cloud-based delivery will become our principal software business and a primary source of revenues for us, but we are just beginning to see our customers migrate to cloud-based services. Accordingly, when we evaluate our results, we assess whether our cloud-based software revenues are increasing, relative to prior periods and relative to other sources of revenue.   Additionally, we assess whether our sales resulting from relationships with channel partners are increasing, relative to prior periods and relative to direct sales to customers.   Finally, we consider the number of channel partners with which we have a contract or other relationship to be an indicator of our performance and future results.
22
 

 

  · Our customer engagements often involve the development and licensing of customer-specific software solutions and related consulting and software maintenance services. When analyzing whether to undertake a particular customer engagement, we often consider all of the following factors as part of our overall strategy to grow the business:   (i) the profit margins the project may yield, (ii) whether the project will allow us to enter a new geographic market, (iii) whether the project would enable us to demonstrate our capabilities to large national resellers, or (iv) whether the project would help to develop new product and service features that we could integrate into our suite of products, resulting in an overall product portfolio that better aligns with the needs of our target customers.   As a result of this pipeline analysis, we may take on projects with a lower project margin if we determine that the project is valuable to our business for the other reasons discussed.

 

  · Our sales cycle is long, sometimes lasting 18-24 months.   Even when a project begins, we often perform pre-installation assessment, project scoping, and implementation consulting.   Our revenue and profit in any particular period is significantly influenced by sales efforts and preliminary project work conducted in prior periods but not completed and recognized until the current period.   Therefore, when we plan our business and evaluate our results, we consider the revenue we expect to recognize from projects in our late-stage pipeline.

 

  · Our research and development efforts and expenses to create new software products are critical to our success.   When developing new products or product enhancements, our developers collaborate with our own employees across a wide variety of job functions.   We also gather in-depth feedback from our customers and channel partners.   We evaluate new products and services to determine their likelihood of market success and their potential profitability.

 

  · We monitor our costs and capital needs to ensure efficiency as well as an adequate level of support for our business plan.

 

   Uncertainties, Trends, and Risks that can cause Fluctuations in our Operating Results

 

Our operating results have fluctuated significantly in the past and are expected to continue to fluctuate in the future due to a variety of factors.   Factors that affect our operating results include the following:

 

  ·

our capital needs, and the costs at which we are able to obtain capital;

 

  ·

general economic conditions that affect the amount our customers are spending on their software needs, the cost at which we can provide software products and services, and the costs at which we can obtain capital;

 

  ·

the development of new products, requiring development expenses, product rollout, and market acceptance;

 

  ·

the length of our sales cycle;

 

  ·

the fact that many of our customers are governmental organizations, exposing us to the risk of early termination, audits, investigations, sanctions, and other penalties not typically associated with private customers;

 

  ·

our relationships with our channel partners, for purposes of product delivery, introduction to new markets and customers, and for feedback on product development;

 

  · our need to increase expenses at the beginning of a customer project, while associated revenue is recognized over the life of the project;
     
  ·

the potential effect of security breaches, data center infrastructure capacity, our use of open-source software, and governmental regulation and litigation over data privacy and security;

 

  ·

whether our clients renew their agreements and timely remit our accounts receivable;

 

  ·

whether we can license third-party software on reasonable terms;

 

  ·

our ability to protect and utilize our intellectual property; and

 

  · the effects of litigation, warranty claims, and other claims and proceedings.

 

Due to all these factors and the other risks discussed in “Part I, Item IA of our 2013 Form 10-K”, our results of operations should not be relied upon as an indication of our future performance.  Comparisons of our operating results with prior periods is not necessarily meaningful or indicative of future performance.

Results of Operations

 

Overview

 

We reported net losses of $372,714 and $518,897 for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, representing a decrease in net loss of $146,183 or 28%.We reported gross profit of $257,817 and $288,811 for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, representing a decrease in gross profit of $30,994, or 11%. We reported operating expenses of $630,531 and $807,708 for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, representing a decrease in operating expenses of $177,177. The decrease in operating expenses was principally related to the reduction in sales and marketing personnel, and the decrease in general and administrative personnel. We reported net losses of $776,536 and $1,190,694 for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, representing a decrease of $414,158 or 35%. We reported gross profit of $493,572 and $464,197 for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, representing an increase of $29,378, or 6%. We reported operating expenses of $1,270,108 and $1,654,891 for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, representing a decrease in operating expenses of $384,783. The decrease in operating expenses was principally related to the reduction in personnel in the sales, marketing and administrative departments.

 

Revenues

 

We reported total revenues of $326,352 and $471,174 for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, representing a decrease of $144,822 or 31%. The decrease in total revenues was primarily attributable to the decrease from the sale of software licenses. Our total revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2014 were $625,535 as compared to $826,046 for the six months ended June 30, 2013, a decrease of $200,511 or 24%, primarily attributable to the decrease from the sale software licenses.

 

Sale of Software

 

Revenues from the sale of software principally consist of sales of additional or upgraded software licenses and applications to existing customers and sales of software to our resellers. These software revenues were $4,496 and $160,352, for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, representing a decrease of $155,856, or 97%. Software revenues were $12,496 and $169,012, for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, representing a decrease of $156,516, or 93%. The decrease was due to concentrating our efforts to develop and expand our channel partner reseller organization in MarketCommand™ program.

 

Sale of Software as a Service

 

For those customers that wish to avoid the upfront costs of typical premises-based software installations, we provide access to our software as a service, accessible through the internet. Our customers typically enter into our software as a service agreement for periods in excess of one year. Under these agreements, we generally provide access to the applicable software, data storage and related customer assistance and support. Our software as a service revenues were $41,028 and $34,320, for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, representing an increase of $6,708, or 20%. Our software as a service revenues were $80,470 and $69,111, for the six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively, representing an increase of $11,359, or 16%. The increase in revenue year-over-year was primarily the result of new customers and relationships with channel partners.

 

Sale of Software Maintenance Services

 

Software maintenance services revenues consist of fees for post contract customer support services provided to license holders. These agreements allow our customers to receive technical support, enhancements and upgrades to new versions of our software products when and if available. A substantial portion of these revenues were generated from customers to whom we sold software in prior years who have continued to renew their maintenance agreements. The support and maintenance agreements typically have a term of 12 months. Our software maintenance support revenue was $212,000 and $213,542, for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, representing a decrease of $1,542, or 1%. Our software support revenue was $422,522 and $437,006, a decrease of $14,484, or 3%. The decrease in revenue was primarily the result of previous accounts for which maintenance agreements have been cancelled.

 

Sale of Professional Services

 

Professional services revenues consist of revenues from consulting, discovery, training, and advisory services to assist customers with document management needs. These revenues include those arrangements where we do not sell software license as an element of the overall arrangement. Professional services revenues were $47,350 and $45,771 for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, an increase of $1,579, or 3%. For the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, professional services revenues were $76,774 and $118,543, respectively, a decrease of $41,769 or 35%. The decrease was primarily resulted from one large client project completed in 2013.

 

Sale of Third Party Services

 

Third party services consist of third party vendor software, hardware and/or services purchases as requested by our customers in as need in conjunction with Intellinetics core software or services. Beginning in the first quarter, we separated these revenues from our other revenues, because we do not charge a mark-up on the procurement of these third-party products and services for our customers.   By classifying these revenues under a separate revenue category, we are attempting to reduce the extent to which fluctuations in this revenue category impact the other categories of revenue.

Cost of Revenues

 

The cost of revenues during the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 were $68,535 and $182,363, respectively, representing a decrease of $113,828, or 62%. The decrease in cost of revenue for the period ended June 30, 2014 is primarily due to the mix in revenues and lower total revenues. The cost of revenues during the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 were $131,963 and $361,849, respectively, representing a decrease of $229,886 or 64%.

 

Gross Margins

 

Overall gross margin for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 were 79% and 61%, respectively, representing an increase of 18%. For the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 gross margins were 79% and 56%, respectively, representing an increase of 23%.  The increase in gross margin year-over-year is primarily as result of the mix in revenues, primarily professional services.

 

Operating Expenses

 

General and Administrative Expenses

 

General and administrative expenses were $443,077 during the three months ended June 30, 2014 as compared to $507,469 during the three months ended June 30, 2013, representing a decrease of $64,392, or 13%. The decrease was primarily due to the decrease in administrative personnel in 2014. General and administrative expenses were $911,547 during the six months ended June 30, 2014 as compared to $1,075,617 during the six months ended June 30, 2013, a decrease of $164,070, or 15%. The decrease was primarily due to the decrease in administrative personnel in 2014.

 

Sales and Marketing Expenses

 

Sales and marketing expenses decreased to $125,052 during the three months ended June 30, 2014 as compared to $252,240 during the three months ended June 30, 2013, representing a decrease of $127,188 or 50%. The decrease was primarily related to our increased emphasis on utilizing our channel partners in selling activities, which decreased our sales and marketing team and decreased our travel expenses. Sales and marketing expenses decreased to $241,225 during the six months ended June 30, 2014 as compared to $480,022 during the six months ended June 30, 2013, representing a decrease of $238,797 or 50%. The decrease was primarily related to our increased emphasis on utilizing our channel partners in selling activities, which decreased our sales and marketing team and decreased our travel expenses.

 

Depreciation and Amortization

 

Depreciation and amortization was $6,810 for the three months ended June 30, 2014, as compared to $6,772 for the three months ended June 30, 2013, representing an increase of $38 or approximately 1%. Depreciation and amortization was $13,740 for the six months ended June 30, 2014, as compared to $12,116 for the six months ended June 30, 2013, representing an increase of $1,623 or approximately 13%. The increase was the result of certain assets acquired having a shorter life span.

 

Interest Expense, Net

 

Interest expense, net, was $55,592 during the three months ended June 30, 2014 as compared to $41,227 during the three months ended June 30, 2013, representing an increase of $14,365 or 35%. The increase resulted primarily from an increase in the average debt balance outstanding during the three months ended June 30, 2014. Interest expense, net, was $103,596 during the six months ended June 30, 2014 as compared to $102,606 during the three months ended June 30, 2013, representing an increase of $990 or 1%.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

We have financed our operations primarily through a combination of cash on hand, cash generated from operations, borrowings from third parties and related parties, and proceeds from private sales of equity.   As of June 30, 2014, our major liquidity indicators are:

 

·Cash $ 381,092.
·Working Capital Deficiency $ (1,927,774),
·Through June 30, 2014 we have incurred cumulative net losses since inception of $8,584,906.

 

From our inception, we have generated revenues from the sales and implementation of our internally generated software applications.   Our plan is to increase our sales and market share by developing an expanded network of resellers through which we expect to sell our expanded software product portfolio. We expect that this marketing initiative will require us to develop an expanded sales force and enhance our product marketing efforts, all of which will require additional capital.

 

25
 

 

As of June 30, 2014, we expected that through the next 12 months, the capital requirements to fund our growth and to cover the operating costs of a public company will consume substantially all of the cash flows that we intend to generate from our operations, as well as from the proceeds of intended issuances of debt and equity securities. We further believe that during this period, while we are focusing on the growth and expansion of our business, the gross profit that we expect to generate from operations will not generate sufficient funds to cover these anticipated operating costs. Accordingly, we require external funding to sustain operations and to follow through on the execution of our business plan. However, there can be no assurance that our plans as discussed above will materialize and/or that we will be successful in funding estimated cash shortfalls through additional debt or equity capital and through the cash generated by our operations. Given these conditions, our ability to continue as a going concern is contingent upon us being able to secure an adequate amount of debt or equity capital to enable us to meet our cash requirements. In addition, our ability to continue as a going concern must be considered in light of the problems, expenses and complications frequently encountered by entrants into established markets, the competitive environment in which we operate and the current capital raising environment. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt that we will be able to continue as a going concern.

 

Since inception, our operations have primarily been funded through a combination of operating margins, state business development loans, bank loans and loans from friends and family. Although management believes that we may have access to capital resources, there are currently no commitments in place for new financing, and there is no assurance that we will be able to obtain funds on commercially acceptable terms, if at all.

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2014, we raised $840,000 in net new funds through the issuance of contingently convertible notes. The proceeds from these notes were used to fund our working capital needs and debt repayment.

 

The Company expects that through the next 9 to 12 months the capital requirements to fund the Company’s growth and to cover the operating costs as a public company will consume substantially all the cash flows that it intends to generate from its operations, as well as the funds raised in the private placement discussed elsewhere in the Form 10-Q, in addition to the proceeds of any issuances of debt and equity securities, if consummated. The Company further believes that during this period, while the Company is focusing on the growth and expansion of its business, the gross profit that it expects to generate from operations will not generate sufficient funds to cover these anticipated operating costs. Our cash generated by operations is insufficient by approximately $180,000 per month.   Assuming over the next 9 to 12 months we do not increase our cash flow generated from operations, we will need an additional $2,160,000 to $2,560,000 to fund planned operations.   There is no assurance that the Company’s plans as discussed above will materialize and/or that the Company will have sufficient funds to fund the Company’s operations.   Given these conditions, the Company ability to continue as a going concern is contingent upon successfully managing its cash requirements.

 

Assuming that we are successful in our growth plans and development efforts, we believe that we will be able to raise additional funds through sales of our common stock, issuance of debt or some other financing source. There is no guarantee that we will be able to raise these additional funds or do so on acceptable terms.

 

Our financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern.

Shares Issued and Outstanding and Shares Reserved for Exercise of Warrants

 

As of June 30, 2014, the Company has 47,362,047 shares of common stock issued and outstanding; and 1,848,214 shares reserved for issuance upon the exercise of outstanding warrants.

 

On February 10, 2012, we consummated the Share Exchange and on that date, our shares became available for quotation on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board under the symbol “GWIV”. We believe that this was a first step to raising capital to finance our growth plan. We intend to deploy any additional capital we may raise to expand our sales and marketing capabilities, develop ancillary software products, enhance our internal infrastructure, support the accounting, auditing and legal costs of operating as a public company, and provide working capital.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

There have been no significant changes during the six months ended June 30, 2014 to the items that we disclosed as our critical accounting policies and use of estimates in our “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our 2013 Form 10-K.

 

Liquidity, Going Concern and Management’s Plans

 

We have incurred substantial recurring losses since our inception. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. During the years 2012, 2013 and the six months ended June 30, 2014, we raised a total of $5,244,007 through issuance of debt and equity securities.   We are also in the process of exploring strategies to increase our existing revenues. We believe we will be successful in these efforts; however, there can be no assurance we will be successful in raising additional debt or equity financing or finding any other financing source to fund our operations on terms agreeable to us. These matters raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if we were unable to continue as a going concern.

 

On February 4, 2014, the Company issued two convertible promissory notes in a maximum aggregate principal amount of $350,000 to two accredited investors who are associated with each other. The Company received a portion of the proceeds from the issuance of the notes in the amount of $350,000. The notes mature on September 30, 2014 and bear interest at an annual rate of interest of 10 percent until maturity. For more information, see Note 7 to the unaudited consolidated financial statements.

 

Between May 12, 2014 and June 30, 2014, the Company issued convertible promissory notes in an aggregate principal amount of $490,000, of which $40,000 were to related parties and $450,000 were to accredited investors who are associated with each other. The notes mature on December 31, 2015 and bear interest at an annual rate of 10 percent until maturity. See Note 7 and Note 8 to the unaudited consolidated financial statements.

 

  Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of our consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to exercise its judgment. We exercise considerable judgment with respect to establishing sound accounting policies and in making estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of our assets and liabilities, our recognition of revenues and expenses, and other financial information.

 

On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates and judgments. Areas in which we exercise significant judgment include, but are not necessarily limited to, our valuation of accounts receivable and income taxes.

 

We base our estimates and judgments on a variety of factors, including our historical experience, knowledge of our business and industry, current and expected economic conditions, and the attributes of our products and services. We periodically re-evaluate our estimates and assumptions with respect to these judgments and modify our approach when circumstances indicate that modifications are necessary.

 

30
 

 

While we believe that the factors we evaluate provide us with a meaningful basis for establishing and applying sound accounting policies, we cannot guarantee that the results will always be accurate. Since the determination of these estimates requires the exercise of judgment, actual results could differ from such estimates.

 

A description of significant accounting policies that require us to make significant estimates and assumptions in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements is the allowance for doubtful accounts and valuation allowance for deferred tax assets.

 

We establish allowances for doubtful accounts based on certain percentages of accounts sixty days or   more past due and when available information causes us to believe that credit loss is probable. Due to historical losses, a full valuation allowance is recognized on deferred tax assets.

 

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

 

Not applicable to smaller reporting companies.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

 

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s 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 for timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and in reaching a reasonable level of assurance, management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

 

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined under Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e)), as of June 30, 2014. Based on the foregoing, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2014.

 

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2014 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

ITEM 1A.   RISK FACTORS.

 

Our business and operating results are subject to many risks, uncertainties and other factors.
