1. Business Organization and Nature of Operations

Intellinetics, Inc., formerly known as GlobalWise Investments, Inc., is a Nevada corporation incorporated in 1997, with two wholly-owned subsidiaries: Intellinetics, Inc., an Ohio corporation (“Intellinetics Ohio”), and Graphic Sciences, Inc., a Michigan corporation (“Graphic Sciences”). Intellinetics Ohio was incorporated in 1996, and on February 10, 2012, Intellinetics Ohio became our sole operating subsidiary as a result of a reverse merger and recapitalization. On March 2, 2020, we purchased all the outstanding capital stock of Graphic Sciences.

Our digital transformation products and services are provided through two reporting segments: Document Management and Document Conversion. Our Document Management segment, which includes the Yellow Folder, LLC (“Yellow Folder”) asset acquisition in April 2022 and the CEO Imaging Systems, Inc. (“CEO Image”) asset acquisition in April 2020, consists primarily of solutions involving our software platform, allowing customers to capture and manage their documents across operations such as scanned hard-copy documents and digital documents including those from Microsoft Office 365, digital images, audio, video and emails. Our Document Conversion segment, which includes and primarily consists of the Graphic Sciences acquisition, provides assistance to customers as a part of their overall document strategy to convert documents from one medium to another, predominantly paper to digital, including migration to our software solutions, as well as long-term storage and retrieval services. Our solutions create value for customers by making it easy to connect business-critical documents to the people who need them by making those documents easy to find and access, while also being secure and compliant with the customers’ audit requirements. Solutions are sold both directly to end-users and through resellers.

2. Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”).

The financial statements presented in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are unaudited. However, in the opinion of management, these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented in conformity with GAAP applicable to interim periods. The financial data and other financial information disclosed in these notes to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are also unaudited. As such, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to applicable rules and regulations thereunder.

Operating results for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full fiscal year ending December 31, 2023 or any other future period.

These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the related notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 filed with the SEC filed on March 27, 2023.

3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Principles of Consolidation

The condensed consolidated financial statements accompanying these notes include the accounts of Intellinetics and the accounts of all its subsidiaries in which it holds a controlling interest. Under GAAP, consolidation is generally required for investments of more than 50% of the outstanding voting stock of an investee, except when control is not held by the majority owner. We have two subsidiaries: Intellinetics Ohio and Graphic Sciences. We consider the criteria established under Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) 810, “Consolidations” in the consolidation process. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Concentrations of Credit Risk

We maintain our cash with high credit quality financial institutions. At times, our cash and cash equivalents may be uninsured or in deposit accounts that exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insurance limit.

We do not generally require collateral or other security to support customer receivables; however, we may require customers to provide retainers, up-front deposits or irrevocable letters-of-credit when considered necessary to mitigate credit risks. We have established an allowance for credit losses based upon facts surrounding the credit risk of specific customers and expected future collections. Credit losses have been within management’s expectations. At March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, our allowance for credit losses was $107,341 and $88,331, respectively.

Revenue Recognition

We categorize revenue as software, software as a service, software maintenance services, professional services, and storage and retrieval services. We earn the majority of our revenue from the sale of professional services, followed by the sale of software maintenance services and software as a service. We apply our revenue recognition policies as required in accordance with ASC 606 based on the facts and circumstances of each category of revenue. More detail regarding each category of revenue is contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 filed with the SEC filed on March 27, 2023.

Contract balances

The following tables present changes in our contract assets during the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022:

Schedule of Changes in Contract Assets 

Deferred revenue

Amounts that have been invoiced are recognized in accounts receivable, deferred revenue or revenue, depending on whether the revenue recognition criteria have been met. Deferred revenue represents amounts billed for which revenue has not yet been recognized. Deferred revenues typically relate to maintenance and software-as-a-service agreements which have been paid for by customers prior to the performance of those services, and payments received for professional services and license arrangements and software-as-a-service performance obligations that have been deferred until fulfilled under our revenue recognition policy.

Remaining performance obligations represent the transaction price from contracts for which work has not been performed or goods and services have not been delivered. We expect to recognize revenue on approximately 97% of the remaining performance obligations over the next 12 months, with the remainder recognized thereafter. As of March 31, 2023, the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations for software as a service and software maintenance contracts with a duration greater than one year was $54,899. As of December 31, 2022, the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations for software as a service and software maintenance contracts with a duration greater than one year was $74,448. This does not include revenue related to performance obligations that are part of a contract whose original expected duration is one year or less.

The following table presents changes in our contract liabilities during the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022:

Software Development Costs

We design, develop, test, market, license, and support new software products and enhancements of current products. We continuously monitor our software products and enhancements to remain compatible with standard platforms and file formats. In accordance with ASC 985-20 “Costs of Software to be Sold, Leased or Otherwise Marketed,” we expense software development costs, including costs to develop software products or the software component of products to be sold, leased, or marketed to external users, before technological feasibility is reached. Once technological feasibility has been established, certain software development costs incurred during the application development stage are eligible for capitalization. Based on our software development process, technical feasibility is established upon completion of a working model. Technological feasibility is typically reached shortly before the release of such products. No such costs were capitalized during the periods presented in this report.

In accordance with ASC 350-40, “Internal-Use Software,” we capitalize purchase and implementation costs of internal use software. Once an application has reached development stage, internal and external costs, if direct and incremental, are capitalized until the software is substantially complete and ready for its intended use. Capitalization ceases upon completion of all substantial testing. We also capitalize costs related to specific upgrades and enhancements when it is probable that the expenditure will result in additional functionality. Such costs in the amount of $112,208 and $29,397 were capitalized during the first quarter 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Capitalized costs are stated at cost less accumulated amortization. Amortization is computed over the estimated useful lives of the related assets on a straight-line basis, which is three years. At March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, our condensed consolidated balance sheets included $476,680 and $402,673, respectively, in other long-term assets.

For the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, our expensed software development costs were $131,743 and $62,751, respectively.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13 “Credit Losses - Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments.” ASU No. 2016-13 significantly changes how entities measure credit losses for most financial assets, including accounts receivable and held-to-maturity marketable securities, by replacing today’s “incurred loss” approach with an “expected loss” model under which allowances will be recognized based on expected rather than incurred losses. ASU No. 2016-13 became effective for us in the first quarter of 2023. The adoption of ASU No. 2016-13 resulted in a reduction in the allowance for doubtful accounts of $11,662 and is reflected in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.

Advertising

We expense the cost of advertising as incurred. Advertising expense for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 amounted to $6,120 and $448, respectively.

Earnings (Loss) Per Share

Basic income or loss per share is computed by dividing net income or loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted income or loss per share is computed by dividing net income or loss by the diluted weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. The diluted weighted average number of shares gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method. Diluted earnings per share exclude all diluted potential shares if their effect is anti-dilutive, including warrants or options which are out-of-the-money and for those periods with a net loss.

We have outstanding warrants and stock options which have not been included in the calculation of diluted net loss per share for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 because to do so would be anti-dilutive. For the first quarter 2023, certain options and warrants were in-the-money and others were not. The three months ended March 31, 2023 reported net income, while the three months ended March 31, 2022 reported a net loss. For the first quarter 2022, the numerator and the denominator used in computing both basic and diluted net loss per share are the same.

Income Taxes

We file a consolidated federal income tax return with our subsidiaries. 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, 2023 and December 31, 2022, due to the uncertainty of our ability to realize future taxable income.

We account for uncertainty in income taxes in our financial statements as required under ASC 740, “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. Management determined there were no material uncertain positions taken by us in our tax returns.

Segment Information

Operating segments are defined in the criteria established under ASC 280, “Segment Reporting,” as components of public entities that engage in business activities from which they may earn revenues and incur expenses for which separate financial information is available and which is evaluated regularly by our chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) in deciding how to assess performance and allocate resources. Our CODM assesses performance and allocates resources based on two operating segments: Document Management and Document Conversion. These segments contain individual business components that have been combined on the basis of common management, customers, solutions offered, service processes and other economic characteristics. We currently have immaterial intersegment sales. We evaluate the performance of our segments based on gross profits.

The Document Management Segment provides cloud-based and premise-based content services software. Its modular suite of solutions complements existing operating and accounting systems to serve a mission-critical role for organizations to make content secure, compliant, and process-ready. This segment conducts its primary operations in the United States. Markets served include highly regulated, risk and compliance-intensive markets in healthcare, K-12 education, public safety, other public sector, risk management, financial services, and others. Solutions are sold both directly to end-users and through resellers.

The Document Conversion Segment provides services for scanning and indexing, converting images from paper to digital, paper to microfilm, and microfiche to microfilm, as well as long-term physical document storage and retrieval. This segment conducts its primary operations in the United States. Markets served include businesses and federal, county, and municipal governments. Solutions are sold both directly to end-users and through a reseller distributor.

Information by operating segment is as follows:

Schedule of Segment Information 

Statement of Cash Flows

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

Reclassifications

Certain amounts reported in prior filings of the condensed consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to current presentation.

4. Business Acquisitions

On April 1, 2022, we entered into an asset purchase agreement to acquire substantially all of the assets of Yellow Folder. The acquisition was accounted for in accordance with GAAP and was made to expand our market share in the digital transformation industry and due to synergies of product lines and services between the Companies.

The purchase price has been preliminarily allocated to assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on the estimated fair value of such assets and liabilities at the date of acquisitions as follows:

Schedule of Fair Value of Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed 

The purchase price of $6,383,269 was paid in cash. Goodwill in the amount of $3,466,934 was recognized in the acquisition of Yellow Folder and is attributable to the cash flows of the business derived from our potential to outperform the market due to its existing relationship and other synergies created within the Company.

The following unaudited pro forma information presents a summary of the condensed consolidated results of operations for the Company as if the acquisition of Yellow Folder had occurred on January 1, 2022.

Schedule of Pro Forma Information 

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated results are based on our historical financial statements and those of Yellow Folder and do not necessarily indicate the results of operations that would have resulted had the acquisition actually been completed at the beginning of the applicable period presented. The pro forma financial information assumes that the companies were combined as of January 1, 2022.

The following tables present the amounts of revenue and earnings of Yellow Folder since the acquisition date included in the condensed consolidated income statement for the reporting period.

Schedule of Amortization Expense for Intangible Assets

6. Fair Value Measurements

We paid our final earnout liability in January 2023 and as of March 31, 2023, we have no earnout liabilities remaining. As of December 31, 2022 we had earnout liabilities related to one of our two 2020 acquisitions which were measured on a recurring basis and recorded at fair value, measured using probability-weighted analysis and discounted using a rate that appropriately captures the risks associated with the obligation. The inputs used to calculate the fair value of the earnout liabilities were considered to be Level 3 inputs due to the lack of relevant market activity and significant management judgment. Key unobservable inputs included revenue growth rates, which ranged from 0% to 7%, and volatility rates, which were 20% for gross profits.

The following table provides a summary of the changes in fair value of the earnout liabilities for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022:

Summary of Changes in Fair Value of Earnout Liabilities

The fair values of earnout liabilities amounts owed were recorded in current liabilities in our condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2022. Changes in fair value are recorded in change in fair value of earnout liabilities in our condensed consolidated statements of operations.

7. Property and Equipment

2022 Unrelated Notes

On April 1, 2022, we sold $2,364,500 in 12% Subordinated Notes (“2022 Unrelated Notes”) to unrelated accredited investors. The entire outstanding principal and unpaid interest of the 2022 Notes are due and payable on March 30, 2025.

10. Deferred Compensation

Pursuant to an employment agreement, we had accrued incentive cash compensation for one of our founders which was fully paid as of December 31, 2022. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, we paid $20,166 in deferred incentive compensation, which amount was reflected as a reduction in our deferred compensation liability.

11. Commitments and Contingencies

From time to time we are involved in legal proceedings, claims and litigation related to employee claims, contractual disputes and taxes in the ordinary course of business. Although we cannot predict the outcome of such matters, currently we have no reason to believe the disposition of any current matter could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse impact on our financial position, results of operations or the ability to carry on any of our business activities.

Operating Leases

On January 1, 2010, we entered into an agreement to lease 6,000 rentable square feet of office space in Columbus, Ohio, used for our corporate headquarters, Document Conversion operations, and a small portion of our Document Management operations. The lease commenced on January 1, 2010 and, pursuant to a lease extension dated September 18, 2021, the lease expires on December 31, 2028. The monthly rental payment is $5,100, with gradually higher annual increases each January up to $5,850 for the final year.

We lease 36,000 square feet of space in Madison Heights, Michigan as the main facility for our Document Conversion operations. 20,000 square feet is used for records storage services, with the remainder of the space used for production, sales, and administration. The monthly rental payment is $43,185, with gradually higher annual increases each September up to $45,828 for the final year, and with a lease term continuing until August 31, 2026.

We also lease a separate 37,000 square foot building in Sterling Heights, Michigan for our Document Conversion operations, with most of the space used for document storage, except approximately 5,000 square feet, which is used for production. The monthly rental payment is $21,072, with gradually higher annual increases each May up to $24,171 for the final year, and with a lease term continuing to April 30, 2028.

We lease office space in Traverse City, Michigan for Document Conversion production. The monthly rental payment is $4,500, with a lease term continuing until January 31, 2024.

We also lease and use vehicles for logistics pertaining to our Document Conversion segment, primarily pickup and delivery of client materials, including storage and retrieval operations. The monthly rental payments for these vehicles total $5,429, with lease terms continuing until September 30, 2028.

We also lease and use an additional temporary office space in Madison Heights for our Document Conversion operations, with a monthly rental payment of $1,605 and a lease term on a month-to-month basis. We have made an accounting policy election to not record a right-of-use asset and lease liability for short-term leases, which are defined as leases with a lease term of 12 months or less. Instead, the lease payments are recognized as rent expense in the general and administrative expenses on the statement of operations.

For each of the above listed leases, management has determined it will utilize the base rental period and have not considered any renewal periods.

The following table sets forth the future minimum lease payments under our leases:
