1. Business Organization and Nature of Operations

Intellinetics, Inc. (“Intellinetics”) 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”), Intellinetics 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 Intellinetics all of their shares of Intellinetics in exchange for shares of common stock (“Share Exchange”) of Intellinetics. Prior to the Share Exchange, Intellinetics was a non-operating public shell company. As a result of the Share Exchange, Intellinetics became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Intellinetics. 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 March 31, 2015 and the consolidated results of its operations and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and March 31, 2014, have been included. The Company has evaluated subsequent events through the issuance of this Form 10-Q. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2015 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, 2014 included in the Company’s Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 31, 2015.

3. Liquidity and Management’s Plans

Through March 31, 2015, the Company has incurred an accumulated deficit since inception of $ 9,665,868. At March 31, 2015, the Company had a cash balance of $ 79,775.

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.

Based on current quarterly revenues, our operating cash flows before working capital changes are insufficient by approximately $ 150,000 to $200,000 per quarter.   In addition, our operating payables currently exceed our accounts receivable by approximately $450,000.  Accordingly, unless our revenues increase from current levels, our operating cash flows over the next 12 months will be insufficient by approximately $1,050,000 to $1,250,000 requiring additional capital or debt financing to support operations.  During 2014 and the three months ended March 31, 2015, we used the proceeds from convertible note issuances to fund our operating cash flow deficits.  Debt obligations due within the next 12 months approximate $2,500,000.   We intend to enter into negotiations to extend maturities, defer payments or convert obligations to equity.  We also plan to continue our marketing and sales strategies to increase our revenues while controlling operating costs.   There are no assurances that our plans as discussed above will materialize and/or that we will have sufficient liquidity to fund operations. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about our 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, convertible loans and loans from friends and family, and the sale of securities.   Although management believes that the Company has access to capital resources, there are currently no commitments in place for new financing at this time other than the issuance of convertible notes disclosed in these financial statements and there is no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain funds on commercially acceptable terms, if at all.

During the three months ended March 31, 2015, the Company raised $ 200,000 in net new funds through the issuance of four convertible promissory notes in a maximum aggregate principal amount of $ 200,000 to two accredited investors who are associated with each other. The proceeds from these notes were used to fund the Company’s working capital needs and debt repayment.

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. Corporate Actions

On February 10, 2012, Intellinetics Ohio was acquired by Intellinetics (formerly known as “GlobalWise Investments, Inc.”), pursuant to a reverse merger, with Intellinetics Ohio remaining as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Intellinetics.

On September 1, 2014, the Company changed its name from GlobalWise Investments, Inc., to Intellinetics, Inc. and effected a seven (7)-to-one (1) reverse stock split of the Company’s common stock . All share and per share amounts herein have been adjusted to reflect the reverse stock split.

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 March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company allowance for doubtful accounts was $ 16,097 and $ 2,015, 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.

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 ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, 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.

Recent Accounting Pronouncement

In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The core principle of ASU 2014-09 is built on the contract between a vendor and a customer for the provision of goods and services. It attempts to depict the exchange of rights and obligations between the parties in the pattern of revenue recognition based on the consideration to which the vendor is entitled. To accomplish this objective, ASU 2014-09 requires five basic steps: (i) identify the contract with the customer, (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (iii) determine the transaction price, (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. Entities will generally be required to make more estimates and use more judgment than under current guidance, which will be highlighted for users through increased disclosure requirements. ASU 2014-09 is effective for public entities for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods therein. Three basic transition methods are available – full retrospective, retrospective with certain practical expedients, and a cumulative effect approach. Early adoption is prohibited. Management is in the process of evaluating the impact that adoption of ASU 2014-09 will have on the consolidated financial statements and has not yet determined the method by which the Company will adopt the standard.

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.

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 services 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) Sale of Third Party Services

Sale 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.

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 ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 amounted to approximately $ 1,867 and $ 1,889 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.

Income Taxes

The Company and its subsidiary file a consolidated federal income tax return. The provision for income taxes is computed by applying statutory rates to income before taxes.

Deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences in future years of temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities as of each period-end based on enacted tax laws and statutory rates. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. A 100% valuation allowance has been established on deferred tax assets at March 31, 2015 and December 31, 14, due to the uncertainty of our ability to realize future taxable income.

The Company accounts for uncertainty in income taxes in its financial statements as required under ASC 740, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes. The standard prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The standard also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition accounting. The Company’s tax returns prior to 2011 are closed. Management determined there were no material uncertain positions taken by the Company in its tax returns.

Statement of Cash Flows

For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash includes cash on hand and demand deposits held by banks 

6. Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are comprised of the following:

Total depreciation expense on the Company’s property and equipment for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 amounted to $ 3,378 and $ 6,930, respectively.

7. Notes Payable

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 March 31, 2015, the principal amount outstanding under Authority Loan No. 1 was $576,429.

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 August 1, 2018. 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 March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 deferred interest of $112,855 and $ 103,242, 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 March 31, 2015, the principal amount outstanding under Authority Loan No. 2 was $633,006.

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. 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. In July, 2014, the Company informed the State of Ohio that it would not meet the employment level of 15 new full-time employees as well as retain 10 existing full-time employees. As a result of this non-compliance with a covenant of Authority Loan No. 1, the Development Services Agency exercised its right to increase the interest rate from 6.0% to 7.0%, effective October 1, 2014. The approximate impact of this increase is to raise the Company’s balloon payment by $6,000 on Authority Loan No. 1, which is due in September 2015. We have had past instances of non-compliance with certain of the loan covenants. We are currently in compliance with the all other loan covenants. There can be no assurance that we will not become non-compliant with one or more of these covenants in the future.

Between June 4, 2014 and July 10, 2014, the Company issued convertible promissory notes in an aggregate amount of $45,000 (the “Notes in an Aggregate Amount of $45,000”) to accredited investors who are associated with each other (the accredited investors collectively referred to as the (“$45,000 Investors”). The Convertible Notes mature 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 Investors have a right, in their 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 $0.56 per Share. The Company recognized a beneficial conversion feature in the amount of $3,125. Interest expense recognized on the amortization of the beneficial conversion feature was $551 for three months ended March 31, 2015. If the Convertible Notes have not been fully repaid by the Company by the Maturity Date or converted into shares at the election of the Convertible Note Investors prior to the Maturity Date, then such Convertible Notes will accrue interest at the annual rate of 12% from the Maturity Date until the date the Convertible Notes are repaid in full. Any interest not paid quarterly will also accrue interest at the annual rate of 12%. The Company used the proceeds of the Convertible Note for working capital, general corporate purposes, and debt repayment.

The table below reflects all notes payable at March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively, with the exception of related party notes disclosed in Note 8 - Notes Payable - Related Parties.

Future minimum principal payments of these notes payable with the exception of the related party notes in Note 8 - Notes Payable - Related Parties, as described in this Note 7 are as follows:

As of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, accrued interest for these notes payable with the exception of the related party notes in Note 8 - Notes Payable - Related Parties, was $ 203,431 and $ 186,783, respectively, and was reflected within accounts payable and accrued expenses on the consolidated balance sheets. As of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, accrued loan participation fees were $158,572 and $ 155,044, respectively, and reflected within accounts payable and accrued expenses on the consolidated balance sheets. As of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, deferred financing costs were $ 8,245 and $ 10,324, respectively, and were reflected within other assets on the consolidated balance sheets.

With respect to all notes outstanding (other than the notes to related parties), for the three months ended March 31, 2015, and 2014, interest expense, including the amortization of deferred financing costs, accrued loan participation fees, original issue discounts, deferred interest and related fees and the embedded conversion feature was $22,987 and $42,139, respectively. 

8. Notes Payable - Related Parties

The Company evaluated the terms of its convertible notes payable in accordance with ASC 815 – 40, Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity’s Own Stock and determined that the underlying common stock is indexed to the Company’s common stock. The Company determined that the conversion feature did not meet the definition of a liability and therefore did not bifurcate the conversion feature and account for it as a separate derivative liability. The Company evaluated the conversion feature for a beneficial conversion feature. The effective conversion price was compared to the market price on the date of each note. If the conversion price was deemed to be less than the market value of the underlying common stock at the inception of the note, then the Company would recognize a beneficial conversion feature resulting in a discount on the note payable, upon satisfaction of the contingency. Under the terms of the convertible notes, the conversion feature would be contingent upon shareholder approval to increase the number of authorized shares of the Company by at least 25,000,000 shares. On August 6, 2014, the shareholders voted to effectuate a 7-to-1 reverse stock split, which effectively increased the number of available shares and resolved the contingency on the conversion features. As described below, the beneficial conversion features were recorded as of August 6, 2014. The beneficial conversion features are amortized to interest expense over the life of the respective notes, starting from the date of recognition.

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 months ended March 31, 2015, and 2014 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 Intellinetics, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Intellinetics”), and its sole operating subsidiary, Intellinetics, Inc., an Ohio corporation (“Intellinetics Ohio”), 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 2014 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 March 31, 2015.

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.

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 (SaaS), 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 December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, were 13% and 9% 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 and 2014, we devoted significant efforts, in both development and marketing, in bringing about this change in core strategic focus for the Company.

On April 30, 2015, the Company announced: 1) the appointment of Murray Gross as a Director and Chairman of the Board, 2) the resignation of A. Michael Chretien and Thomas D. Moss as Directors of the Company, 3) the adoption of the 2015 Equity Incentive Plan (the ”Plan”), with a total of 2,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company authorized and reserved for issuance under the Plan, and 4) the grant of options to Murray Gross (640,000 options) and Sophie Pibouin (128,000 options), subject to certain vesting requirements.  For more details, see the Company’s Current Report on 8-K, dated April 30, 2015.

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.

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 depreciation, 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:

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:

Due to all these factors and the other risks discussed in “Part I, Item IA of our 2014 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 $208,857 and $403,822 for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively, representing a decrease in net loss of $194,965 or 48%. We reported gross profit of $470,238 and $235,755 for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively, representing an increase in gross profit of $234,483, or 99%. We reported operating expenses of $583,195 and $591,573 for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively, representing a decrease in operating expenses of $8,378. The decrease in operating expenses was principally related to the reduction in general and administrative personnel, and an increase in sales and marketing personnel.

Revenues

We reported total revenues of $583,775 and $299,183 for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively, representing an increase of $284,592 or 95%. The increase in total revenues is attributable to several factors as described below.

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 $190,037 and $8,000, for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively, representing an increase of $182,037, or 2,275%. The increase was due to our efforts to close new customers in our direct sales and an increase in our sales of software to our resellers.

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 $56,539 and $39,442, for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively, representing an increase of $17,097, or 43%. 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 $228,671 and $210,522, for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively, representing an increase of $18,149, or 9%. The increase in revenue was primarily the result of new accounts from the sale of software.

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 $82,238 and $29,424 for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively, an increase of $52,814, or 179%. The increase in revenue primarily resulted from partner fees received from new channel partners.

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. 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 March 31, 2015 and 2014 were $113,537 and $63,428, respectively, representing an increase of $50,109, or 79%. The increase in cost of revenue for the period ended March 31, 2015 is primarily due to the increase in revenues as compared with the three month period ending March 31, 2014.

Gross Margins

Overall gross margin for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 were 81% and 79%, respectively, representing an increase of 2%. The increase in gross margin year-over-year is primarily as result of the mix in revenues, primarily the sale of software.

Operating Expenses

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses were $365,840 during the three months ended March 31, 2015 as compared to $468,469 during the three months ended March 31, 2014, representing a decrease of $102,629, or 22%. The decrease was primarily due to the decrease in administrative personnel in 2014 and a decrease in expenses operating as a public company.

Sales and Marketing Expenses

Sales and marketing expenses increased to $213,977 during the three months ended March 31, 2015 as compared to $116,174 during the three months ended March 31, 2014, representing an increase of $97,803 or 84%. The increase was primarily related to the hiring of additional sales personnel in obtaining new channel partners in selling activities, which increased our sales and marketing team and increased our travel expenses.

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization was $3,378 for the three months ended March 31, 2015, as compared to $6,930 for the three months ended March 31, 2014, representing a decrease of $3,552 or approximately 51%. The decrease was the result of no assets being acquired and assets that are becoming fully depreciated.

Interest Expense, Net

Interest expense, net, was $95,900 during the three months ended March 31, 2015 as compared to $48,004 during the three months ended March 31, 2014, representing an increase of $47,896 or 100%. The increase resulted primarily from an increase in the average debt balance outstanding during the three months ended March 31, 2015.

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 March 31, 2015, our major liquidity indicators are:

From the Company’s inception, it has 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.

Based on current quarterly revenues, our operating cash flows before working capital changes are insufficient by approximately $ 150,000 to $200,000 per quarter.   In addition, our operating payables currently exceed our accounts receivable by approximately $450,000.  Accordingly, unless our revenues increase from current levels, our operating cash flows over the next 12 months will be insufficient by approximately $1,050,000 to $1,250,000 requiring additional capital or debt financing to support operations.  During 2014 and the three months ended March 31, 2015, we used the proceeds from convertible note issuances to fund our operating cash flow deficits.  Debt obligations due within the next 12 months approximate $2,500,000.   We intend to enter into negotiations to extend maturities, defer payments or convert obligations to equity.  We also plan to continue our marketing and sales strategies to increase our revenues while controlling operating costs.   There are no assurances that our plans as discussed above will materialize and/or that we will have sufficient liquidity to fund operations. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about our ability 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 three months ended March 31, 2015, we raised $200,000 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.

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.

Liquidity and Capital Resource - Equity Capital Resources

Shares Issued and Outstanding and Shares Reserved for Exercise of Warrants

As of March 31, 2015 the Company has 7,123,074 shares of common stock issued and outstanding; and approximately 4,700,000 shares reserved for issuance upon the exercise of outstanding warrants.

Our shares are available for quotation on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board, and we believe this is important for raising capital to finance our growth plan. We intend to deploy any future 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.

Deferral of Principal and Interest Payment Relating to Notes Payable Issued by Intellinetics Ohio to the Ohio State Development Authority

Intellinetics Ohio has issued two notes payable to the Ohio State Development Authority. In June 2014, Intellinetics Ohio and the Ohio State Development Authority entered into a Notice and Acknowledgement of Modification to Payment Schedule on both of the loans, deferring a portion of the principal and interest payments until June 1, 2015.

Both of these notes are subject to certain covenants and reporting requirements, with the Company. In July, 2014 the Company informed the Ohio State Development Authority that the employment requirement was not in compliance in relation to the Authority Loan No. 1. As a result of this noncompliance, the Company’s interest rate effective October 1, 2014 went from 6.00% to 7.00 %. The impact of this increase is to raise the Company’s balloon payment by $6,000, which is due in September 2015, and will be waived if the Company fulfills all of its other loan commitments, including satisfying the balloon payment.

On August 14, 2014, the Company entered into a Second Amendment to Loan Agreement to the $750,000 note payable in which the Company is to provide employment of 19 full-time jobs and create an estimated twelve new full-time jobs and employment opportunities by December 31, 2015. If the Company fails, for reasons other than market conditions, to retain and create an aggregate of at least 25 such jobs and employment opportunities, the interest rate on the outstanding balance of the loan could increase to 10%.

Promissory Notes

On December 31, 2014, the Company and Ramon M. Shealy converted their previous promissory notes, whose total principal balance and unpaid interest was $193,453 to a new single promissory note, with a maturity date of January 1, 2020. For more information, please see Note 7 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, titled Notes Payable.

On December 31, 2014, Intellinetics Ohio and Jackie M. Chretien, who is related to the Chairman and Secretary of the Company, and who is also related to the President, CEO, and director of the Company extended their original promissory note, with a maturity of January 1, 2015, by a Promissory Note Extension Agreement, with the maturity date of January 1, 2016 without changing any other terms of that promissory note.

On December 31, 2014, Intellinetics Ohio and A. Michael Chretien, who is the Secretary and Chairman of the Company, extended a promissory note with a maturity date of January 1, 2015, into a promissory note maturity of January 1, 2016. Without changing any other terms of that promissory note.

Issuance of Convertible Notes.

Throughout 2014 and through the three months ending March 31, 2015, the Company issued new convertible promissory notes as a source of debt liquidity. The total principal balance of such notes issued was $1,425,000. The note investors have a right, in their sole discretion, to convert the convertible notes into shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Company at various conversion rates ranging from $0.30 to $0.56 per share. The annual rate of interest on such notes ranges from 6% to 10%, with all notes maturing on December 31, 2015. For more information, please see Note 8 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, titled Notes Payable.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

There have been no significant changes during the three months ended March 31, 2015 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 2014 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, 2014 and the three months ended March 31, 2015, we raised a total of $4,844,077 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 10, 2015, the Company issued two convertible promissory notes in a maximum aggregate principal amount of $100,000 to two accredited investors who are associated with each other. The notes mature on December 31, 2015 and bear interest at an annual rate of interest of 6 percent until maturity. For more information, see Note 7 to the unaudited consolidated financial statements.

On March 11, 2015, the Company issued two convertible promissory notes in a maximum aggregate principal amount of $100,000 to two accredited investors who are associated with each other.

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.

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 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 March 31, 2015.
