1. | Nature of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies |
Nature of Business
iSign Solutions Inc. and its subsidiary is a leading supplier of digital transaction management (DTM) software enabling the paperless, secure and cost-effective management and authentication of document-based transactions. iSign’s solutions encompass a wide array of functionality and services, including electronic signatures, simple-to-complex workflow management and various options for biometric authentication. These solutions are available across virtually all enterprise, desktop and mobile environments as a seamlessly integrated platform for both ad-hoc and fully automated transactions. iSign’s platform can be deployed both on premise and as a cloud-based (“SaaS”) service, with the ability to easily transition between deployment models. The Company is headquartered in San Jose, California. The Company’s products include SignatureOne™ Ceremony™ Server, the iSign™ suite of products and services, including iSign™ Enterprise and iSign™ Console™, and Sign-it™ programs.
In December 2019, an outbreak of a novel strain of coronavirus (COVID-19) originated in Wuhan, China and has since spread to a number of other countries, including the U.S. On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization characterized COVID-19 as a pandemic. In addition, several states in the U.S., including California, where the Company is headquartered, have declared a state of emergency. The COVID-19 outbreak is disrupting supply chains and affecting production and sales across a wide range of industries. The extent of the impact of COVID-19 on our operational and financial performance will depend on certain developments, including the duration and spread of the outbreak, impact on our customers, employees and vendors all of which are uncertain and cannot be predicted. At this point, the extent to which COVID-19 may impact our financial condition or results of operations is uncertain.
Basis of Presentation
The financial information contained herein should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated audited financial statements and notes thereto included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for complete consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of management, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this quarterly report reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) that the Company considers necessary for a fair presentation of its financial position at the dates presented and the Company’s results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The Company’s interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire year.
Going Concern
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has incurred significant cumulative losses since its inception and, at March 31, 2020 the Company’s accumulated deficit was $135,014. The Company has primarily met its working capital needs through the sale of debt and equity securities. As of March 31, 2020, the Company’s cash balance was $88. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

1. | Nature of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) |
There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in securing adequate capital resources to fund planned operations or that any additional funds will be available to the Company when needed, or if available, will be available on favorable terms or in amounts required by the Company. If the Company is unable to obtain adequate capital resources to fund operations, it may be required to delay, scale back or eliminate some or all of its operations, which may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations and ability to operate as a going concern. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

4. | Debt |
Advances:
In January and March 2020, the Company received, from affiliates, advances aggregating $75 in cash against certain accounts receivable of the Company. Upon collection of an invoice, the Company agreed to repay the advance to the lenders on a pro rata basis together with a 5% advance fee. On March 25, 2020, the affiliates converted their advances into unsecured notes. The Company paid the advance fees of $4 in cash, and recorded them as interest expense in the quarter ended March 31, 2020.
Notes payable:
On March 25, 2020, the Company issued an aggregate of $150 in unsecured notes to affiliates and other investors. The Company received $75 in cash and $75 in exchange for the advances discussed above. The unsecured notes are convertible by the holder into common stock at any time at a price per share of $0.50. Upon closing a new financing of at least $1,000 in aggregate proceeds, the Company can force conversion at a price equal to the lesser of $0.50 per share or the price per share of the new financing. The notes bear interest at the rate of 10% per annum and are due December 31, 2020.
During the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company accrued $69 of interest expense, $60 associated with the outstanding secured and unsecured convertible promissory notes, of which $24 was to related parties and $36 was to other investors. For the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Company accrued $61 of interest expense, $53 associated with its outstanding notes, of which $13 was to related parties and $40 was to other investors.
The Company recorded $0 and $10 in debt discount amortization for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
5. | Stockholders’ Equity (Deficit) |
Stock-based compensation expense is based on the estimated grant date fair value of the portion of stock-based payment awards that are ultimately expected to vest during the period. The grant date fair value of stock-based awards to employees and directors is calculated using the Black-Scholes-Merton valuation model.
Forfeitures of stock-based payment awards are estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. The estimated average forfeiture rate for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 was approximately 6.43% and 5.95%, respectively, based on historical data.

5. | Stockholders’ Equity (Deficit) (continued) |
Valuation and Expense Information:
The weighted-average fair value of stock-based compensation is based on the Black-Scholes-Merton valuation model. Forfeitures are estimated and it is assumed no dividends will be declared. The estimated fair value of stock-based compensation awards to employees is amortized over the vesting period of the options.
No options were granted during the three months ended March 31, 2020. The Company granted stock options to purchase 40,000 shares of common stock during the three months ended March 31, 2019. There were no stock options exercised during the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
The fair value calculations for the stock options granted are based on the following assumptions:

Risk free interest rate | 2.30 | % | ||
Expected life (years) | 6.1 | |||

6. | Subsequent event |
On May 6, 2020, the Company received loan proceeds in the amount of approximately $123,077 under the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”). The PPP, established as part of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”), provides for loans to qualifying businesses for amounts up to 2.5 times of the average monthly payroll expenses of the qualifying business. The loans and accrued interest are forgivable after eight weeks as long as the borrower uses the loan proceeds for eligible purposes, including payroll, benefits, rent and utilities, and maintains its payroll levels.
The amount of loan forgiveness will be reduced if the borrower terminates employees or reduces salaries during the eight-week period. The unforgiven portion of the PPP loan is payable over two years at an interest rate of 1%, with a deferral of payments for the first six months. The Company intends to use the proceeds for purposes consistent with the PPP. While the Company currently believes that its use of the loan proceeds, for the most part, will meet the conditions for forgiveness of the loan, we cannot assure you that we will not take actions that could cause the Company to be ineligible for forgiveness of the loan, in whole or in part.

In December 2019, an outbreak of a novel strain of coronavirus (COVID-19) originated in Wuhan, China and has since spread to a number of other countries, including the U.S. On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization characterized COVID-19 as a pandemic. In addition, several states in the U.S., including California, where the Company is headquartered, have declared a state of emergency. The COVID-19 outbreak is disrupting supply chains and affecting production and sales across a wide range of industries. The extent of the impact of COVID-19 on our operational and financial performance will depend on certain developments, including the duration and spread of the outbreak, impact on our customers, employees and vendors all of which are uncertain and cannot be predicted. At this point, the extent to which COVID-19 may impact our financial condition or results of operations is uncertain.

The Company has experienced recurring losses from operations that raise a substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. There can be no assurance that the Company will have adequate capital resources to fund planned operations or that any additional funds will be available to it when needed, or if available, will be available on favorable terms or in amounts required by it. If the Company is unable to obtain adequate capital resources to fund operations, it may be required to delay, scale back or eliminate some or all of its operations, which may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations and ability to operate as a going concern.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
Interest Rate Risk
The Company did not enter into any short-term security investments during the three months ended March 31, 2020.
Foreign Currency Risk
From time to time, the Company makes certain capital equipment or other purchases denominated in foreign currencies. As a result, the Company’s cash flows and earnings are exposed to fluctuations in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates. The Company attempts to limit these exposures through operational strategies and generally has not hedged currency exposures. During the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, foreign currency translation gains and losses were insignificant.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company carried out an evaluation as of the end of the period covered by this report, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to paragraph (b) of Rule 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”). Based on that evaluation and because of the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting described below, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act (1) is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and (2) is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

Management identified the following control deficiencies that constitute material weaknesses that are not fully remediated as of the filing date of this report:
As a small company with limited resources that are mainly focused on the development and sales of software products and services, iSign does not employ a sufficient number of staff in its finance department to possess an optimal segregation of duties or to provide optimal levels of oversight. This has resulted in certain audit adjustments and management believes that there may be a possibility for a material misstatement to occur in future periods while it employs the current number of personnel in its finance department.
The Company does not expect that its disclosure controls and procedures will prevent all error and all fraud. A control procedure, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control procedures are met. Because of the inherent limitations in all control procedures, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control. The Company considered these limitations during the development of its disclosure controls and procedures, and will continually reevaluate them to ensure they provide reasonable assurance that such controls and procedures are effective.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended March 31, 2020 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
