ISSUER DIRECT CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

 

Note 1. Basis of Presentation

 

The unaudited interim consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2022 and consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 included herein, have been prepared in accordance with the instructions for Form 10-Q under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and Article 10 of Regulation S-X under the Exchange Act. In the opinion of management, they include all normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the financial statements. Results of operations reported for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for the entire year. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“US GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations relating to interim financial statements. The interim financial information should be read in conjunction with the 2021 audited financial statements of Issuer Direct Corporation (the “Company”, “We”, or “Our”) filed on Form 10-K.

 

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. Significant intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.

 

Earnings Per Share (EPS)

 

Earnings per share accounting guidance requires that basic net income per common share be computed by dividing net income for the period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per share is computed by dividing the net income for the period by the weighted average number of common and dilutive common equivalent shares outstanding during the period. Shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options totaling 50,250 were excluded in the computation of diluted earnings per common share during the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2022, because their impact was anti-dilutive. There were no shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options excluded in the computation of diluted earnings per common share during the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2021, because their impact was anti-dilutive.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

Substantially all the Company’s revenue comes from contracts with customers for subscriptions to its cloud-based products or contracts for Communications and Compliance products and services. Customers consist of public corporate issuers and professional firms, such as investor and public relations firms. In the case of our news distribution and webcasting offerings, our customers also include private companies. The Company accounts for a contract with a customer when there is an enforceable contract between the Company and the customer, the rights of the parties are identified, the contract has economic substance, and collectability of the contract consideration is probable. The Company’s revenues are measured based on consideration specified in the contract with each customer.

 

The Company’s contracts include either a subscription to our entire platform or certain modules within our platform, or an agreement to perform services, or any combination thereof, and often contain multiple subscriptions and services. For these bundled contracts, the Company accounts for individual subscriptions and services as separate performance obligations if they are distinct, which is when a product or service is separately identifiable from other items in the bundled package, and a customer can benefit from it on its own or with other resources that are readily available to the customer. The Company separates revenue from its contracts into two revenue streams: i) Communications and ii) Compliance. Performance obligations of Communications contracts include providing subscriptions to certain modules or the entire Platform id. Communications module, distributing press releases on a per release basis or conducting webcasts, virtual annual meetings or other events on a per event basis. Performance obligations of Compliance contracts include providing subscriptions to our cloud-based Platform id. Compliance module, Whistleblower module or other stand-ready obligations to deliver services and annual report printing and distribution. Additionally, services are provided on a per project basis. Set up fees for disclosure services are considered a separate performance obligation and are satisfied upfront. Set up fees for our transfer agent module and investor relations content management module are immaterial. The Company’s subscription and service contracts are generally for one year, with automatic renewal clauses included in the contract until the contract is cancelled. The contracts do not contain any rights of returns, guarantees or warranties. Since contracts are generally for one year, all the revenue is expected to be recognized within one year from the contract start date. As such, the Company has elected the optional exemption that allows the Company not to disclose the transaction price allocated to performance obligations that are unsatisfied or partially satisfied at the end of each reporting period.

 

The Company recognizes revenue for subscriptions evenly over the contract period, upon distribution for per release contracts and upon event completion for webcasting and virtual annual meeting events. For service contracts that include stand ready obligations, revenue is recognized evenly over the contract period. For all other services delivered on a per project or event basis, the revenue is recognized at the completion of the event. The Company believes recognizing revenue for subscriptions and stand ready obligations using a time-based measure of progress, best reflects the Company’s performance in satisfying the obligations.

For bundled contracts, revenue is allocated to each performance obligation based on its relative standalone selling price. Standalone selling prices are based on observable prices at which the Company separately sells the subscription or service. If a standalone selling price is not directly observable, the Company uses the residual method to allocate any remaining price to that subscription or service. The Company reviews standalone selling prices, at least annually, and updates these estimates if necessary.

 

The Company invoices its customers based on the billing schedules designated in its contracts, typically upfront on either a monthly, quarterly or annual basis or per transaction at the completion of the performance obligation. Deferred revenue for the periods presented was primarily press release packages which have been prepaid, however the releases have not yet been disseminated, as well as, subscription and service contracts, which are billed upfront, quarterly or annually, however the revenue has not yet been recognized. The associated deferred revenue is generally recognized as releases are disseminated for press release packages and ratably over the billing period for subscriptions. Deferred revenue as of June 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021, was $3,481,000 and $3,086,000, respectively, and is expected to be recognized within one year. Revenue recognized for the six months ended June 30, 2022, and 2021, that was included in the deferred revenue balance at the beginning of each reporting period, was approximately $1,970,000 and $1,597,000, respectively. Accounts receivable, net of allowance for doubtful accounts, related to contracts with customers was $3,484,000 and $3,291,000 as of June 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021, respectively. Since substantially all the contracts have terms of one year or less, the Company has elected to use the practical expedient regarding the existence of a significant financing.

 

Costs to obtain contracts with customers consist primarily of sales commissions. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company has capitalized $63,000 and $53,000, respectively, of costs to obtain contracts that are expected to be amortized over more than one year. For contract costs expected to be amortized in less than one year, the Company has elected to use the practical expedient allowing the recognition of incremental costs of obtaining a contract as an expense when incurred. The Company has considered historical renewal rates, expectations of future renewals and economic factors in making these determinations.

 

Cash Equivalents

 

For purposes of the Company’s financial statements, the Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity date of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

 

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

 

The Company monitors outstanding receivables based on factors surrounding the credit risk of specific customers, historical trends, and other information. Credit is granted on an unsecured basis. The allowance for doubtful accounts is estimated based on an assessment of the Company’s ability to collect on customer accounts receivable. There is judgment involved with estimating the allowance for doubtful accounts and if the financial condition of the Company’s customers were to deteriorate, resulting in their inability to make the required payments, the Company may be required to record additional allowances or charges against revenues. Given the ongoing environment of the COVID-19 pandemic and recent economic downturn, additional attention has been paid to the financial viability of our customers. The Company generally writes off accounts receivable against the allowance when it determines a balance is uncollectible and no longer actively pursues its collection.

 

Concentration of Credit Risk

 

Financial instruments and related items which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash, cash equivalents and accounts receivable. The Company places its cash and temporary cash investments with credit quality institutions. Such cash balances are currently in excess of the FDIC insurance limit of $250,000. To reduce its risk associated with the failure of such financial institutions, each quarter the Company evaluates the rating of the financial institution in which it holds deposits. As of June 30, 2022, the total amount exceeding such limit was $18,843,000. The Company also had cash-on-hand of $2,050,000 in Canada and $52,000 in Europe as of June 30, 2022.

 

The Company believes it did not have any financial instruments that could have potentially subjected us to significant concentrations of credit risk for any relevant period.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that 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 during the reporting period. Significant estimates include the allowance for doubtful accounts and the valuation of goodwill, intangible assets, deferred tax assets, and stock-based compensation. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Income Taxes

 

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed for differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities that will result in future taxable or deductible amounts based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred income tax assets to the amounts expected to be realized. For any uncertain tax positions, we recognize the impact of a tax position, only if it is more likely than not of being sustained upon examination, based on the technical merits of the position. Our policy regarding the classification of interest and penalties is to classify them as income tax expense in our financial statements, if applicable.

 

Capitalized Software

 

Costs incurred to develop our cloud-based platform products are capitalized when the preliminary project phase is complete, management commits to fund the project and it is probable the project will be completed and used for its intended purposes. Once the software is substantially complete and ready for its intended use, the software is amortized over its estimated useful life, which is typically four years. Costs related to design or maintenance of the software are expensed as incurred. Capitalized costs and amortization for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, are as follows (in thousands):

Impairment of Long-lived Assets

 

In accordance with the authoritative guidance for accounting for long-lived assets, assets such as property and equipment, trademarks, and intangible assets subject to amortization, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset group may not be recoverable. Recoverability of asset groups to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset group to estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset group. If the carrying amount of an asset group exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized by the amount by which the carrying amount of an asset group exceeds fair value of the asset group.

 

Lease Accounting

 

The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating lease agreements are primarily for office space and are included within lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and lease liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet.

 

ROU assets represent the right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. Variable lease payments consist of non-lease services related to the lease and payments under operating leases classified as short-term. Variable lease payments are excluded from the ROU assets and lease liabilities and are recognized in the period in which the obligation for those payments is incurred. As most of the leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. ROU assets include any lease payments due and exclude lease incentives. Rental expense for lease payments related to operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

 

Fair Value Measurements

 

ASC Topic 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. Assets and liabilities recorded at fair value in the financial statements are categorized based upon the hierarchy of levels of judgment associated with the inputs used to measure their fair value. Hierarchical levels directly related to the amount of subjectivity associated with the inputs to fair valuation of these assets and liabilities, are as follows:

 

 

·

Level 1 – Quoted prices are available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the reporting date. Generally, this includes debt and equity securities that are traded in an active market. Our cash and cash equivalents are quoted at Level 1.

 

 

 

 

·

Level 2 – Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. Generally, this includes debt and equity securities that are not traded in an active market.

 

 

 

 

·

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. Level 3 assets and liabilities include financial instruments whose value is determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or other valuation techniques, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation.

Table of Contents

 

As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company believes that the fair value of our financial instruments, such as, accounts receivable, our line of credit, and accounts payable approximate their carrying amounts.

 

Translation of Foreign Financial Statements

 

The financial statements of the foreign subsidiaries of the Company have been translated into U.S. dollars. All assets and liabilities have been translated at current rates of exchange in effect at the end of the period. Income and expense items have been translated at the average exchange rates for the year or the applicable interim period. The gains or losses that result from this process are recorded as a separate component of other accumulated comprehensive income until the entity is sold or substantially liquidated.

 

Business Combinations, Goodwill and Intangible Assets

 

The authoritative guidance for business combinations specifies the criteria for recognizing and reporting intangible assets apart from goodwill. The Company records the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in business combinations at their respective fair values at the date of acquisition, with any excess purchase price recorded as goodwill. Goodwill is an asset representing the future economic benefits arising from other assets acquired in a business combination that are not individually identified and separately recognized. Intangible assets consist of client relationships, customer lists, distribution partner relationships, software, technology, non-compete agreements and trademarks that are initially measured at fair value. At the time of the business combination, trademarks are considered an indefinite-lived asset and, as such, are not amortized as there is no foreseeable limit to cash flows generated from them. The goodwill and intangible assets are assessed annually for impairment, or whenever conditions indicate the asset may be impaired, and any such impairment will be recognized in the period identified. The client relationships (7-10 years), customer lists (3 years), distribution partner relationships (10 years), non-compete agreements (5 years) and software and technology (3-6 years) are amortized over their estimated useful lives.

 

Comprehensive Income

 

Comprehensive income consists of net income and other comprehensive income related to changes in the cumulative foreign currency translation adjustment.

 

Advertising

 

The Company expenses advertising as incurred. During the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2022, advertising expense was $114,000 and $209,000, respectively. During the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2021, advertising expense was $52,000 and $132,000, respectively.

 

Stock-based Compensation

 

The authoritative guidance for stock compensation requires that companies estimate the fair value of share-based payment awards on the date of the grant using an option-pricing model. The associated cost is recognized over the period during which an employee or director is required to provide service in exchange for the award.

 

Note 3: Equity

 

2014 Equity Incentive Plan

 

On May 23, 2014, the shareholders of the Company approved the 2014 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2014 Plan”). Under the terms of the 2014 Plan, the Company is authorized to issue incentive awards for common stock up to 200,000 shares to employees and other personnel. On June 10, 2016 and June 17, 2020, the shareholders of the Company approved an additional 200,000 and 200,000 awards, respectively, to be issued under the 2014 Plan, bringing the total number of shares to be awarded to 600,000. The awards may be in the form of incentive stock options, nonqualified stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units and performance awards. The 2014 Plan is effective through March 31, 2024. As of June 30, 2022, there are 140,995 shares which remain eligible to be granted under the 2014 Plan.

Note 4: Income taxes

 

The company recognized income tax expense of $327,000 and $501,000 for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2022, respectively, compared to $256,000 and $419,000 during the same periods of 2021. At the end of each interim period, the Company estimates the effective tax rate expected to be applicable for the full fiscal year and this rate is applied to the results for the year-to-date period, and then adjusted for any discrete period items. For the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2022, the variance between the Company’s effective tax rate and the U.S. statutory rate of 21% is primarily attributable to state income taxes and expense related to Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income inclusion, partially offset by foreign tax credits.

 

Note 5: Leases

 

Leasing activity generally consists of office leases. In March 2019, a new lease was signed to move the corporate headquarters to Raleigh, North Carolina. The new lease, which had a lease commencement date of October 2, 2019, expires December 31, 2027. Minimum lease payments are $2,997,000, not including a tenant improvement allowance of $488,000, which is included in fixed assets as of June 30, 2022. The Company recognized a ROU asset and corresponding lease liability of $2,596,000, which represents the present value of minimum lease payments discounted at 3.77%, the Company’s incremental borrowing rate at lease inception. The Company also has an office in Salt Lake City, Utah, which is on a short-term lease that is month-to-month. As a result, the short-term lease recognition exemption has been elected for this lease, which means, for leases not expected to extend beyond twelve months, a ROU asset or lease liability will not be recognized.

 

Lease liabilities totaled $1,864,000 as of June 30, 2022. The current portion of this liability of $363,000 is included in Accrued expenses on the Consolidated balance sheets and the long-term portion of $1,501,000 is included in Lease liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Rent expense consists of both operating lease expense from amortization of our ROU assets as well as variable lease expense which consists of non-lease components of office leases (i.e. common area maintenance) or rent expense associated with short-term leases. The components of lease expense were as follows (in 000’s):

Overview

 

Issuer Direct Corporation and its subsidiaries are hereinafter collectively referred to as “Issuer Direct”, the “Company”, “We” or “Our” unless otherwise noted. Our corporate headquarters are located at One Glenwood Ave., Suite 1001, Raleigh, North Carolina, 27603.

 

We announce material financial information to our investors using our investor relations website, SEC filings, investor events, news and earnings releases, public conference calls, webcasts and social media. We use these channels to communicate with our investors and the public about our company, our products and services and other related matters. It is possible that information we post on some of these channels could be deemed to be material information. Therefore, we encourage investors, the media and others interested in Issuer Direct to review the information we post to all our channels, including our social media accounts.

 

We are a premier provider of communications and compliance technology solutions that are designed to help organizations tell their stories globally. Our principal platform, Platform id.™, empowers users by thoughtfully integrating the most relevant tools, technologies and products, thus eliminating the complexity associated with producing and distributing their business communications and financial information. Platform id. efficiently and effectively helps our customers manage their events when seeking to distribute their messaging to key constituents, investors, markets and regulatory systems around the globe. Platform id. consists of several related but distinct Communications and Compliance modules that companies utilize every quarter.

 

We disclose our revenues in the following two main categories: (i) Communications and (ii) Compliance. Set forth below is an infographic depicting the products included in each of these two main categories we provide today:

Table of Contents

 

Over the next several years, we expect the Communications portion of our business to increase, both in terms of overall revenue and as compared to the Compliance portion of our business. Therefore, we plan to continue to invest in our Platform id. communications offerings as well as additional offerings that we intend to incorporate into our Communications product lineup. Within most of our target markets, customers require several individual services and/or software providers to meet their investor relations and communications needs. We believe Platform id. can address all these needs in a single, secure, cloud-based platform - one that offers a customer control, increases efficiencies, demonstrates clear value and, most importantly, delivers consistent and compliant messaging from one centralized platform.

 

We work with a diverse customer base, which includes not only corporate issuers and private companies, but also investment banks, professional firms, such as investor relations and public relations firms, as well as the accounting and legal communities. Our customers and their service providers utilize Platform id. and related solutions from document creation all the way to dissemination to regulatory bodies, news outlets, financial platforms, and our customers’ shareholders. Private companies primarily use our news distribution and webcasting products and services to disseminate their message globally. Platform id.’s intelligent subscription platform guides thousands of customers through the process of communicating their message to a large audience.

 

We also work with several select stock exchanges by making available certain parts of our platform under agreements to integrate our offerings within their products. We believe such partnerships will continue to yield increased exposure to a targeted customer base that could impact our revenue and overall brand in the market.

 

Communications

 

Our Communications platform consists of our ACCESSWIRE branded newswire, our webcasting and events business, professional conference and events software, as well as our investor relations website technology. These products are sold as the leading part of our Platform id. subscription, as well as individually to customers around the globe and are further described below.

 

ACCESSWIRE

 

Our press release offering, which is marketed under the brand ACCESSWIRE, is a news dissemination and media outreach service. The ACCESSWIRE product offering focuses on press release distribution for both private and public companies globally. We believe ACCESSWIRE is becoming a competitive alternative in the newswire industry because we have been able to use our technological advancements to allow customers to self-edit releases or use our editorial staff as desired to edit releases. We continue to expand our distribution points, improve our targeting and enhance our analytics reporting. We also offer an e-commerce element to our ACCESSWIRE product, whereby customers can self-select their distribution, register, and then upload their press release for editorial review in minutes. We believe these enhancements have helped lead to an increase in ACCESSWIRE revenues and customers each year compared to the prior year, a trend we expect to continue over the next several years. We have also been able to maintain high gross margins while providing our customers flexible pricing, with options to pay per release or enter longer-term subscriptions for a designated package of releases.

 

Like other newswires globally, ACCESSWIRE is dependent upon several key partners for its news distribution. Disruption in any of our partnerships could have a materially adverse impact on ACCESSWIRE and our overall business.

 

Newsroom

 

A natural expansion to our ACCESSWIRE and investor relations website business is a corporate Newsroom, which we began developing last year and brought to market during the middle of the third quarter of 2021. This product offering can be an add-on to any customer’s ACCESSWIRE or Platform id. account. The Newsroom suite includes a custom newsroom page builder, a brand asset manager and contact manager.

 

Our Newsroom suite addresses the needs of our customers looking to build connections with media, journalists, customers and if applicable the investment community. According to a survey from TekGroup, a majority of journalists and media professionals indicated the importance of newsrooms that include digital media, press kits and video. We believe our Newsroom suite accomplishes this by including the following three components:

 

Newsroom page - a custom URL, self-publishing system for customers that automatically adds ACCESSWIRE news to their newsroom and allows them the ability to add any other mention, article or post from the internet to their newsroom. Customers can self-manage this platform to customize colors, font, logo, images, social integration, and contact and customer URLs.

 

Brand Asset Manager - a customizable library of images, video and press kits, which can be shared both privately and publicly, as well as integrated into the ACCESSWIRE editor for easy access of customers’ high- resolution images. All assets are tagged to give our customers analytics for both views and downloads. Subsequent versions of this feature will allow for greater analytics as engagement occurs with our customers’ assets.

Contact Manager - a technology that allows our customers to provide their audiences the ability to quickly subscribe to alerts or notifications of a particular brand. Customers will have the ability to deliver their stories automatically or time based. Engagement and delivery reports will also be available to customers directly from their dashboard.

 

Webcasting & Events

 

Our webcasting and events business is comprised of our earnings call webcasting solutions and our virtual meeting and events software (such as annual meetings, deal/non-deal road shows, analyst days and shareholder days). The demand for these products with a virtual component was at an all-time high for us in 2020 in large part due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The industry overall has begun to see a reduction in the number of virtual events, specifically annual meetings and deal/non-deal roadshows, as customers are relying on internal enterprise solutions or are returning to pre-pandemic travel and in-person meetings, reducing the need for a virtual component.

 

Traditional earnings calls and webcasts are a highly competitive market with the majority of the business being driven from practitioners in investor relations and communications firms. We estimate there are approximately 5,000 companies in North America conducting earnings events each quarter that include a teleconference, webcast, or both as part of their events. Platform id. also incorporates other elements of the earnings event, including earnings date/call announcement, earnings press release and SEC Form 8-K filings. There are a handful of our competitors that can offer this integrated full-service solution today, however, we believe our real-time event setup and integrated approach offers a more effective way to manage the process.

 

Additionally, as a commitment to broadening the reach of our webcast platform, we broadcast live additional companies’ earnings events, whether they are conducted on our platform or not, within our shareholder outreach module, which helps drive new audiences and give companies the ability to view their analytics and engagement of each event. During the first half of 2021, we released the first version of this real-time engagement and analytics dashboard to our customers subscribing to Platform id.

 

Our VisualWebcaster Platform (“VWP”) is a leading cloud-based webcast, webinar and virtual meeting platform that delivers live and on-demand streaming of events to audiences of all sizes. VWP allows customers to create, produce and deliver events, which we feel has significantly strengthened our webcasting product and Platform id. offering. The VWP technology gives us the ability to host thousands of webcasts each year, expanding and diversifying our webcast business from our historical earnings-based events to include any type of virtual event. As we expand our platform, it is vital for us to have solutions that service both our core public companies but also a growing segment of private customers.

 

Professional Conference and Events Software

 

Our professional conference and events software is a subscription offering we currently license to investor conference organizers, which in the aggregate we believe held an estimated 1,000 plus events a year prior to 2020. This number significantly decreased in 2020 and is expected to remain at decreased levels in the near future and possibly long-term as a result of COVID-19. This software, which is also available as a native mobile app, offers organizers, issuers and investors the ability to register, request and approve one-on-one meetings, manage schedules, perform event promotion and sponsorship, print attendee badges and manage lodging. This cloud-based product can be used in a virtual or in person conference setting and is integrated within Platform id. to enhance our Communications module subscription offerings of newswire, newsrooms, webcasting and shareholder targeting. We believe this integration gives us a unique offering for professional conference organizers that is not available elsewhere in the market. We believe this software helps make Platform id. a platform of choice for investment banks, issuers and investors.

 

Investor Relations Websites

 

Our investor relations content network is another component of Platform id., which is used to create the investor relations tab of a company’s website. This investor relations content network is a robust series of data feeds including news feeds, stock feeds, fundamentals, regulatory filings, corporate governance and many other components which are aggregated from most of the major exchanges and news distribution outlets around the world. Customers can subscribe to one or more of these data feeds or as a component of a fully designed and hosted website for pre-IPO companies, SEC reporting companies and partners seeking to display our content on their corporate sites. The clear benefit to our investor relations content network is its integration into Platform id. As such, companies can produce content for public distribution and it is automatically linked to their corporate website, distributed to targeted groups and placed into our data feed partners.

Compliance

 

Our Compliance offerings consist of our disclosure software for financial reporting, stock transfer services, and related annual meeting, print and shareholder distribution services. Some of these products are sold as part of a Platform id. subscription as well as individually to customers around the globe.

 

Disclosure Software and Services

 

Platform id.’s disclosure reporting module is a document conversion, editing and filing offering which is designed for reporting companies and professionals seeking to insource the document drafting, editing and filing processes to the SEC’s EDGAR system. Our disclosure business also offers companies the ability to use our in-house staff to assist in the conversion, tagging and filing of their documents. We generate revenues in disclosure from both software and services and, in most cases, customers have both components within their annual agreements, while others pay for services as they are completed.

 

Our Inline XBRL (Inline Extensible Business Reporting Language or “iXBRL”) product now includes upgrades that meet mandated SEC disclosure requirements which became effective last year. These requirements began impacting most of our customers on June 15, 2021, however, we had a number of customers previously file using our iXBRL upgrades.

 

Whistleblower Hotline

 

Our Whistleblower hotline is an add-on product within Platform id. This system delivers secure notifications and basic incident workflow management processes that align with a company’s corporate governance whistleblower policy. As a supported and subsidized bundle product of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) offerings, we are introduced to new IPO customers and other larger cap customers listed on the NYSE. Since 2014, we have been a named NYSE subsidy provider of this Whistleblower solution. In 2020, NYSE renewed and extended the initial subsidy term to four years from two years, whereby the first two years are provided under subsidy and the added two years are at our standard subscription rates.

 

Stock Transfer Module

 

A valued subscription add-on in our Platform id. offering is the ability for our customers to gain access to real-time information about their shareholders, stock ledgers and reports and to issue new shares from our cloud-based stock transfer module. Managing the capitalization table of a public company or pre-IPO company is a cornerstone of corporate governance and transparency, and as such companies and community banks have chosen us to assist with their stock transfer needs, including bond offerings and dividend management. This is an industry which has experienced declining overall revenues as it was affected by the replacement of paper certificates with digital certificates. However, we have been focused on selling subscriptions of the stock transfer component of our platform, allowing customers to gain access to our cloud-based system in order to move shares or query shareholders, which we believe has resulted in a more efficient process for both our customers and us.

 

Annual Meeting / Proxy Voting Platform

 

Our proxy module is marketed as a fully integrated, real-time voting platform for our customers and their shareholders of record. This module is utilized for every annual meeting or special meeting we manage for our customers and offers both full-set mailing and notice of internet availability options.

 

This module has been incorporated within our webcasting offering to enable our customers the ability to conduct their annual meetings in-person or fully virtual, which has often been required since the COVID-19 pandemic. Our solution incorporates shareholder and guest registration, voting integration, real-time statistics on attendance, audio video and presentation features as well as fully managed meeting managers and inspector of elections. Although we believe a virtual component to an annual meeting is both a benefit to all shareholders and a corporate governance advantage, there can be no assurances this product has longevity in the market.

 

Shareholder Distribution

 

Over the past few years, we have worked on refining the model of digital distribution of our customers’ message to the investment community and beyond. This was accomplished by integrating our shareholder outreach module, Investor Network, into and with Platform id. Most of the customers subscribing to this module today are historical PrecisionIR - Annual Report Service (“ARS”) users, as well as new customers purchasing the entire Platform id. subscription. We migrated some of the customers from the traditional ARS business into this new digital subscription business, however, we continue to operate a portion of this legacy physical hard copy delivery of annual reports and prospectuses for customers who opt to take advantage of it. We continue to see customer attrition for customers who subscribe to both the electronic and physical distribution of reports as a stand-alone product.

Revenues

 

Total revenue increased by $87,000, or 2%, to $5,807,000 during the three-month period ended June 30, 2022, as compared to $5,720,000 during the same period of 2021. Total revenue increased by $395,000, or 4%, to $11,095,000 during the six-month period ended June 30, 2022, compared to $10,700,000 during the same period of 2021. The increases were primarily driven by an increase in revenue from our Communications revenue stream.

 

Communications revenue increased $181,000, or 5%, and $377,000, or 6%, during the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2022, respectively, as compared to the same periods of 2021. The increase in revenue is due primarily to an increase in revenue from our ACCESSWIRE news brand. ACCESSWIRE revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, increased approximately 16% for both periods, compared to the same periods of the prior year. We also generated increased revenue from our investor relations websites and news feed product lines. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in revenue from our events and webcasting business due to lower demand for events compared to the prior year as well as lower teleconference revenue. Communications revenue increased to 64% of total revenue during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to 61% and 63% during the same periods of the prior year.

 

Compliance revenue decreased $94,000, or 4% during the three -month period ended June 30, 2022 and remained flat during the six-month period ended June 30, 2022, as compared to the same periods of 2021. The decrease in revenue is primarily related to a decrease in revenue from our transfer agent services due to less corporate actions and directives during the period. We also experienced a decline in revenue from disclosure services as well as our legacy ARS business due to customer attrition. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in revenue from print and proxy fulfillment services due to increased projects associated with annual meetings and special transactions. For the six-month period ended June 30, 2022, an increase in revenue from print and proxy fulfillment services was partially offset by declines in our transfer agents and legacy ARS services noted earlier.

 

No customers accounted for more than 10% of the revenues during the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2022, or 2021.

 

Deferred Revenue

 

At June 30, 2022, our deferred revenue balance was $3,481,000, which we expect to recognize over the next twelve months, compared to $3,086,000 at December 31, 2021, an increase of 13%. Deferred revenue primarily consists of advance billings for subscriptions of our cloud-based products and pre-paid packages of our news distribution product, as well as advance billings for annual service contracts.

Cost of Revenues

 

Communications cost of revenues consists primarily of direct labor costs, newswire distribution costs, teleconferencing costs and third-party licensing costs. Compliance cost of revenue consists primarily of direct labor costs, warehousing, logistics, print production materials, postage, and amortization of capitalized software costs related to our disclosure software. Overall cost of revenues decreased by $116,000, or 8%, and $278,000, or 10%, during the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2022, respectively, as compared to the same periods of 2021. Overall gross margin increased $203,000, or 5%, and $673,000, or 9%, during the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2022, respectively, as compared to the same periods of the prior year. Overall gross margin percentages increased to 77% during both the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, compared to 74% and 73% during the same periods of 2022.

 

Cost of revenues associated with Communications revenue decreased $120,000, or 14%, and $232,000, or 13% during the three and six-month periods ended June, 30, 2022, respectively, as compared to the same periods of 2021. The decrease is primarily due to lower teleconferencing costs as well as lower distribution costs associated with our press release business. Gross margin percentage from Communications revenue was 80% and 79% during the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2022, respectively, as compared to 75% and 74% during the same periods of 2021. The increase in gross margin percentage is associated with the decrease in costs noted above along with an increase in ACCESSWIRE revenue as a percentage of total Communications revenue.

 

Cost of revenue associated with our Compliance revenue remained flat for the three-month period ended June 30, 2022 as compared to the same period of 2021 and decreased $47,000, or 4%, during the six-month period ended June 30, 2022 as compared to the same period of 2021. Gross margins from our Compliance revenue were 71% and 73% during the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2022, respectively, as compared to 72% for both the same periods of 2021. The decrease in gross margin percentage for the three-month period ended June 30, 2022 was due to a higher percentage of revenue coming from our lower margin print and proxy fulfillment services.

 

Operating Expenses

 

General and Administrative Expense

 

General and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries, bonuses, stock-based compensation, insurance, fees for professional services, general corporate expenses (including bad debt expense) and facility and equipment expenses. General and administrative expenses were $1,563,000 and $3,246,000 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, an increase of $302,000, or 24%, and $581,000, or 22%, compared to the same periods of 2021. The increase is driven by stock compensation expense as well as higher corporate costs associated with investments for future growth. Additionally, for the six-month period ended June 30, 2022, the increase is due to one-time executive recruiting fee.

 

As a percentage of revenue, general and administrative expenses were 27% and 29% for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2022, respectively, compared to 22% and 25% for the same periods of 2021.

 

Sales and Marketing Expenses

 

Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of salaries, stock-based compensation, sales commissions, advertising expenses, tradeshow expenses and other marketing expenses. Sales and marketing expenses were $1,371,000 and $2,635,000 for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2022, respectively, an increase of $161,000, or 13%, and $351,000, or 15%, compared to the same periods ended June 30, 2021. These increases are directly related to our investment in our sales and marketing initiatives with an increase in headcount, advertising and digital marketing spend.

 

As a percentage of revenue, sales and marketing expenses were 24% during both the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2022, respectively, compared to 21% for both the same periods of the prior year.

 

Product Development Expenses

 

Product development expenses consist primarily of salaries, stock-based compensation, bonuses and licenses to develop new products and technology to complement and/or enhance Platform id. Product development expenses decreased $42,000, or 16%, and $16,000, or 3%, during the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2022, compared to the same periods in 2021. The decrease is due to fewer consultants used on development projects during the three-month period ended June 30, 2022. During the three and six- month periods ended June 30, 2021, we capitalized $161,000 of costs related to the development of our newsroom product, which launched in July 2021. No costs were capitalized during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022.

 

 
20

Table of Contents

 

As a percentage of revenue, product development expenses were 4% for both the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2022, respectively, compared to 4% and 5% during the same periods of 2021.

 

Depreciation and Amortization

 

Depreciation and amortization expenses decreased $5,000, or 3%, and $11,000, or 4%, during the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2022, respectively, as compared to the same periods of 2021.

 

Interest income

 

Interest income represents interest income on deposit and money market accounts. The increase in interest income during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to the same periods of the prior year, is due to an increase in interest rates associated with the deposit and money market accounts.

 

Income tax expense

 

We recognized income tax expense of $327,000 and $501,000 during the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2022, respectively, compared to $256,000 and $419,000 during the same periods of 2021. The increase in income tax expense during the periods is due to an increase in our estimated effective tax rate for 2022. For the three and six-month period ended June 30, 2022, the variance between the Company’s effective tax rate and the U.S. statutory rate of 21% is primarily attributable to state income taxes and expense related to Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income inclusion, partially offset by foreign tax credits.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

As of June 30, 2022, we had $21,458,000 in cash and cash equivalents and $3,484,000 in net accounts receivable. Current liabilities at June 30, 2022, totaled $6,048,000 including our accounts payable, deferred revenue, accrued payroll liabilities, income taxes payable, current portion of lease liabilities and other accrued expenses. At June 30, 2022, our current assets exceeded our current liabilities by $20,017,000.

 

Effective October 3, 2021, the Company renewed its unsecured Line of Credit, which changed the interest rate from LIBOR plus 1.75% to SOFR (Secured Overnight Financing Rate) plus 1.75%. The amount of funds available for borrowing remained $3,000,000 and the term remained two years. As of June 30, 2022, the interest rate was 2.84% and the Company did not owe any amounts on the Line of Credit.

 

Outlook

 

The following statements and certain statements made elsewhere in this document are based upon current expectations. These statements are forward looking and are subject to factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those suggested here, including, without limitation, demand for and acceptance of our services, new developments, competition and general economic or market conditions, particularly in the domestic and international capital markets. Refer also to the Cautionary Statement Concerning Forward Looking Statements included in this report.

 

While it is unknown how long current conditions resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic will last, including whether a worldwide resurgence will occur, variants of the virus will become more impactful or vaccines will be completely effective, we could experience a material disruption of our employees and operations, a decline in revenue, a decline in value of our assets, deterioration of our customer base and the inability of our customers to pay for subscriptions or services provided. To date, we have seen both positive and negative impacts to our business, however, our ability to pivot and enhance our product offering with our virtual products has generated increased revenue over the past two years. Despite the short-term increase in revenue, the concentrations of our customer base within middle, small and micro-cap customers make it reasonably possible that we are vulnerable to the risk of a near-term negative impact related to the COVID-19 pandemic if a substantial portion of these customers are forced to scale back or cease operations. We are closely monitoring the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on all aspects of our business and are unable at this time to predict the continued impact that COVID-19 will have on our business, financial position, and operating results in future periods due to numerous uncertainties.

 

Overall, despite many uncertainties in the market regarding the economic outlook and the future of the COVID-19 pandemic, the demand for our platforms and services continues to be stable in a majority of the segments we serve. The success of our Communications offering has been led by our ACCESSWIRE branded newswire, for which we believe we will continue to see stable to increased demand throughout 2022 and beyond. Although we experienced a decline in demand for our webcasting and events business since 2020, we believe we are well-positioned in this market with our ability to hold both in-person and virtual events using both our conference software and webcasting products. We believe this allows us to not only deliver attractive solutions to the market but may also lead us into new opportunities during this changing and challenging environment. The COVID-19 pandemic has caused shifts in demands for these products, and we are uncertain at this time if these shifts will continue and cannot make any assurances at this time that our products will be accepted by customers in the long-term.
