PART I
Item 1. Business
Overview
Glowpoint, Inc. (“Glowpoint” or “we” or “us” or the “Company”) is a provider of video collaboration services and network solutions. Our services enable our customers to use videoconferencing as an efficient and effective method of communication for their business meetings. Our customers include Fortune 1000 companies, along with small and medium enterprises in a variety of industries. We market our services globally through a multi-channel sales approach that includes direct sales and channel partners.
The Company was formed as a Delaware corporation in May 2000. In October 2012, the Company acquired Affinity VideoNet, Inc. (“Affinity”), a service provider for public videoconference suites and managed videoconferencing. The Company operates in one segment and therefore segment information is not presented.
Our Services
Video Collaboration Services
We provide our customers with the following suite of services to meet their videoconferencing needs:
Managed Videoconferencing is a “high-touch” concierge-based offering where Glowpoint sets up and manages customer videoconferences. We offer managed videoconferencing both as a cloud-based service, with videoconferences hosted in the Glowpoint Cloud, as described below in Intellectual Property, and as an on-premise solution leveraging the customer’s existing video infrastructure. The Glowpoint Cloud enables videoconferences to work effectively across multiple networks and video devices. Our managed videoconferencing services are offered to our customers on either a usage basis or on a monthly subscription. These services include:
-1-
• | Scheduling: Customers can schedule their videoconference using Microsoft Outlook®, Cisco TelePresence Management Suite®, or through Glowpoint’s CustomerPoint® web portal. |
• | Call Launching: Once the videoconference is scheduled, it automatically launches at the designated time. Glowpoint will “bridge” the videoconference by calling the selected video endpoints at the time of the scheduled call and make sure they are properly connected. |
• | Conference Monitoring & Support: Glowpoint’s systems will monitor the video meeting to make sure everything remains properly connected. If an incident occurs during a meeting, a conference producer can reconnect and/or fix issues per standard practices or as requested by the customer. |
• | Conference Reports: Customer administrators can generate reports through our portal to show videoconference details, statistics and success rate. |
• | Business Class Support: We offer our customers support services designed to ensure maximum video uptime and availability. These services include helpdesk, remote monitoring, problem resolution, incident detection and management and reporting. We offer several different levels of support designed to meet the needs of each customer, starting from automated monitoring of a videoconference that alerts customers when there is an issue, up to a maximum customer support package with full access to our helpdesk around the clock, 365 days per year. |
Reservationless videoconferencing (via Glowpoint NowTM) is a service that allows users to collaborate via video on demand from commonly used videoconferencing technology. Similar to audio conferencing, participants call into the videoconference with a conference code and the videoconference begins when the host enters the code. Glowpoint NowTM takes advantage of the Glowpoint Cloud, so the customer has no infrastructure to buy and maintain. Glowpoint NowTM is offered to our customers on either a usage basis or on a monthly subscription.
Videoconference Suites provide remote access to videoconferencing for everyday business meetings and events; allowing our customers to conduct meetings and events in over 2,500 videoconference rooms across 1,000 cities without investing in video devices or infrastructure. We have partnered with the owners of these videoconference centers and arrange for our customers to hold videoconferences at convenient locations across the world based on the customers’ needs. Our primary service includes scheduling and management of a highly orchestrated business-class meeting for a professional meeting experience. As part of the extended offering beyond the physical office suite, we also enable participants who elect to use a mobile device to join a video conference from anywhere in the world. These services are largely usage-based, which generally means that our customers only pay for the services that they use. We also offer our customers monthly subscription rates based on a fixed number of concurrent users.
Network Services
Glowpoint’s network services provide our customers around the world with network solutions that ensure reliable, high-quality and secure traffic of video, data and internet. Network services are offered to our customers on a monthly subscription. Our network services business carries variable costs associated with the purchasing and reselling of this connectivity. We offer our customers the following networking solutions that can be tailored to each customer’s needs:
• | Cloud Connect: Video allows our customers to outsource the management of their video traffic to us. This offering provides the customer’s office locations with a secure, dedicated video network connection to the Glowpoint Cloud for video communications. |
• | Cloud Connect: Converge provides customized Multiprotocol Label Switching ("MPLS") solutions for customers who require a converged network. A converged network is an efficient network solution that combines the customer’s voice, video, data, and also Internet traffic via one access circuit. Glowpoint fully manages and prioritizes traffic to ensure that video and other business critical applications run smoothly. |
• | Cloud Connect: Cross Connect allows the customer to leverage their existing carrier for the extension of a Layer 2 private line to Glowpoint’s data center. |
Professional and Other Services
-2-
We also offer professional services, including video communication solutions for broadcast/media content acquisition and remote analyst contribution for live-to-air or live-to-tape production that enable studios to broadcast or stream their media with solutions for mobile, video and live events. On a limited basis, we also resell video equipment to our customers.
Sales and Marketing
We currently sell our services through a direct sales force and indirect sales channels. As of December 31, 2013, we had 20 full-time employees engaged in sales and marketing. Our sales/account management team is responsible for developing relationships and expanding opportunities within our existing customer base as well as targeting our services to other large and medium-sized corporations. We partner with agents and wholesale channels to expand the size and reach of these efforts. The customers we target have a proven need for business communication services in diverse vertical markets, such as computer software, professional services, business services, manufacturing and financial services. Our channel sales allow us to extend our reach to businesses of all sizes and geographies. The efforts of our channel sales group focus on partnering with resellers, such as system integrators and service providers, to leverage their customer bases and distribution channels. We private label or co-brand our services for these partners depending on their requirements.
We primarily focus our marketing efforts on direct marketing programs aimed at our target customers. We seek to generate qualified leads for our sales team, educate and retain existing customers, generate brand awareness through proactive public relations and drive service enhancements using research and customer feedback.
Market Need
The complexity of video communications is increasing, while usage of video is becoming more critical in the mix of unified communications. Many enterprises have become dependent on video communications for increased productivity while also reducing operating costs, and have made it part of their core business practices. These same enterprises have difficulty (and incur considerable cost) in effectively maintaining and managing their existing video communication deployments because of the shortage of experienced information technology ("IT") and network personnel. Many enterprises also recognize that supporting video communications inside their organization distracts their core support team from other critical business applications and requires a different skill set than normal business IT support. As a result, businesses are increasingly seeking out managed services and hosted, cloud-based infrastructure to support and power their user community and their video technologies. With the rapid advancements in video technologies and use of mobile devices for video communications, it has become increasingly expensive and difficult for enterprises to maintain the infrastructure required to power these technologies. We believe that many customers cannot fully support quality video communications on their existing infrastructure and network.
Glowpoint provides enterprises with the ability to simplify the video experience with a full suite of video collaboration services. Glowpoint’s unique features and services, such as seamless and secure business-to-business communications, a comprehensive video exchange directory of businesses, live on-demand video operator services, and on demand virtual video rooms, are available to customers by simply connecting into the Glowpoint Cloud.
Competition
We primarily compete with managed services companies, videoconferencing equipment resellers and Tier 1 telecommunication providers, including British Telecom, AT&T, Verizon, Telus, Citrix, York Telecom, SPS, Whitlock, and AVI-SPL. Additionally, the market has attracted start-up and venture capital-backed companies that offer hosted bridging solutions, including Blue Jeans Networks, Vidyo and Zoom. The Company's competitors offer services similar to ours both on a bundled and un-bundled basis, creating a highly competitive environment with pressure on pricing of such services.
We believe Glowpoint differentiates itself based on its full suite of cloud and managed video collaboration services in combination with its commitment to a white glove service. We believe our services are unique based on our intellectual property, user interfaces and capabilities that Glowpoint has built over the years.
Customers
Our customers include Fortune 1000 companies, along with small and medium enterprises in a variety of industries. Market segments that account for 5% or more of our revenue for 2013, listed in order of approximate contribution to revenue, were as follows: consulting, 29%; banking and finance, 8%; broadcast/media, 8%; engineering and construction, 7%; legal and law enforcement, 6%; manufacturing, 5%; and telecommunication providers, 5%. Two major customers / wholesale partners represented a total of approximately 21% of our revenue for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013. One additional customer accounted for 10% of our outstanding accounts receivable at December 31, 2013. A substantial reduction in use of our services
-3-
or business failure by our major customers / wholesale partners could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.
Intellectual Property
Glowpoint has invested in research and development, engineering and application development in the process of building our managed service and cloud platforms. Some of this development has led to awarded patents and a number of patent applications, as described below, along with ongoing recognition in the industry as having unique tools and applications to enable their video applications.
Cloud Architecture
The Glowpoint Cloud is based on a Service Oriented Architecture ("SOA") framework that enables us to create unique unified communication service offerings. Glowpoint’s cloud based-video services can be delivered as a software and infrastructure service in a hosted environment or can support a hybrid with a mix of public and private clouds. Videoconferencing has traditionally presented challenges for the user by presenting a complex maze of systems and networks that must be navigated through and closely managed. Although most of the business-quality video systems today are “standards-based,” there are inherent interoperability problems between different vendors' video equipment, resulting in communication islands. Glowpoint's suite of cloud and managed video services can be accessed and utilized by customers regardless of the technology and network they are using. The Glowpoint Cloud is a cloud platform that offers telepresence, video and unified communications and collaboration users a way to meet and communicate across the varying hardware/software platforms and carrier networks in a secure and seamless fashion. Customers who purchase a Cisco, Polycom, Avaya, LifeSize (Logitech) or StarLeaf system or use any other third-party video communications software, may all take advantage of the Glowpoint Cloud regardless of their choice of network. We have built the Glowpoint Cloud to support all standard video signaling protocols, including SIP, H.323 and Integrated Services Digital Network ("ISDN") using infrastructure from a variety of manufacturers. The Glowpoint Cloud combines years of best practices, experience and technology development into a video collaboration platform that provides instant connectivity, self-serve and managed help desk resources, and the ease of use that makes video collaboration seamless and effortless. Beyond the technology and applications, the Glowpoint Cloud is built around security protocols to enable enterprises and organizations of any size to communicate with other desired video users in a secure, high-quality and reliable fashion.
Patents and Patents-Pending
The development of our “video as a service” applications and network architecture has resulted in a significant amount of proprietary information and technology including real-time metering and billing for video calls and intelligent call routing. We believe that our patented and patent-pending proprietary technology provides an important barrier for competitive offerings of similar video communications services.
We have been awarded five patents:
• | U.S. Patent No. 7,200,213 was awarded in April 2007 for our live video operator assistance feature. Our “Live Operator” technology provides customers with the ability to obtain live, face-to-face assistance and has widespread application, from general video call assistance to “video concierge” services. This patent is an essential component of providing “expert on demand” and telepresence “white glove” business class support services. |
• | U.S. Patent No. 7,664,098 was awarded in February 2010 for our real-time metering and billing for Internet Protocol ("IP") based calls. Our “Call Detail Records” patent for IP-based calls provides the ability to meter and bill an end-user on a transactional basis, just as traditional telephone calls are billed. This unique capability is a vital development as more and more telepresence and video conferencing calling traffic is distributed over disparate IP-based networks – rather than ISDN – as B2B calling is becoming much more common for video users. |
• | U.S. Patent No. 7,916,717 was awarded in March 2011 for our Systems and Method for Automated Routing of Incoming and Outgoing Video Calls between IP and ISDN networks. This technology ensures the simple and seamless migration from ISDN to IP for the purpose of connecting IP users with ISDN systems around the world. This automated call routing capability has been leveraged to provide a least cost routing and gateway method to customers. |
• | U.S. Patent No. 8,259,152 was awarded in September 2012 for our Video Call Distributor, which includes systems and methods for distributing high quality real time video calls over an IP Packet-Based Wide Area Network, leveraging existing routing rules and logic of a call management system. |
• | U.S. Patent No. 8,576,270 was awarded in November 2013 for our Intelligent Call Management and Redirection systems and methods. These systems and methods can be used to detect the status of a specified video endpoint. |
-4-
Pre-defined rules can be configured so that a call that is not completed for any reason can be transferred to another destination such as a video mail service or an automated or live operator service.
Research and Development
Glowpoint incurred research and development expenses of $662,000 in 2013 and $946,000 in 2012 related to the development of new service offerings and features and enhancements to our existing services.
Employees
As of December 31, 2013, we had approximately 117 employees (3 of which were part time employees). Of these employees, 69 are involved in customer support and operations, 20 in sales and marketing, 19 in corporate functions and 9 in engineering and development. None of our employees are represented by a labor union. We believe that our employee relations are good.
Available Information
We are subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act. The Exchange Act requires us to file periodic reports, proxy statements and other information with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Copies of these periodic reports, proxy statements and other information can be read and copied on official business days during the hours of 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the SEC's Public Reference Room at 100 F Street, N.E., Washington, D.C. 20549. You may obtain information on the operation of the Public Reference Room by calling the SEC at 1-800-SEC-0330. The SEC maintains a Internet site at http://www.sec.gov that contains reports, proxy and information statements and other information that we file electronically with the SEC.
In addition, we make available, free of charge, on our Internet website, our annual report on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, current reports on Form 8-K, and amendments to these reports filed or furnished pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act as soon as reasonably practicable after we electronically file this material with, or furnish it to, the SEC. You may review these documents on our website at www.glowpoint.com. Our website and the information contained on or connected to our website is not incorporated by reference herein, and our web address is included as an inactive textual reference only.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
Glowpoint’s business faces numerous risks, including those set forth below or those described elsewhere in this Report or in our other filings with the SEC. The risks described below are not the only risks that we face, nor are they necessarily listed in order of significance. Other risks and uncertainties may also affect our business. Any of these risks may have a material adverse effect on Glowpoint’s business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flow. When making an investment decision with respect to our common stock, you should also refer to the other information contained or incorporated by reference in this Report, including our consolidated financial statements and the related notes.
Risks Related to Our Business
Our business activities may require additional financing that might not be obtainable on acceptable terms, if at all, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, liquidity and our ability to operate going forward.
Although there can be no assurance, our management believes that based on our current projections, the Company has sufficient capital resources to finance our operational requirements through at least the next twelve months following the filing of this Report with the SEC. Our capital requirements continue to depend on numerous factors, including the timing and amount of revenue, the expense to deliver our services, capital improvements and the cost involved in protecting our proprietary rights. If we are unable to achieve profitability, or if unforeseen events occur that would require additional funding, we may need to raise capital or incur additional debt to fund our operations. We would expect to seek such capital through sales of additional equity or debt securities and/or loans from financial institutions, but there can be no assurance that funds will be available to us on acceptable terms, if at all, and any sales of such securities may be dilutive to investors. Failure to obtain financing or obtaining financing on unfavorable terms could result in a decrease in our stock price and could have a material adverse effect on future operating prospects, or require us to significantly reduce operations.
We may not be able to generate sufficient cash to service all of our indebtedness and our other ongoing liquidity needs, and we may be forced to take other actions to satisfy our obligations under our indebtedness, which may not be successful.
-5-
Our ability to make scheduled payments on or to refinance our indebtedness obligations and to fund our planned capital expenditures, acquisitions and other ongoing liquidity needs depends on our financial condition and operating performance, which is subject to prevailing economic and competitive conditions and to certain financial, business and other factors beyond our control. There can be no assurance that we will maintain a level of cash flow from operating activities or that future borrowings will be available to us under our loan agreements or otherwise in an amount sufficient to permit us to pay the principal, premium, if any, and interest on our indebtedness. If our cash flow and capital resources are insufficient to fund our debt service obligations, we may be forced to reduce or delay investments and capital expenditures, or to seek additional capital or restructure or refinance our indebtedness. These alternative measures may not be successful and may not permit us to meet our scheduled debt service obligations. In the absence of such operating results and resources, we could face substantial liquidity problems and might be required to dispose of material assets or operations to meet our debt service and other obligations. Our loan agreements restrict our ability to dispose of assets and use the proceeds from the disposition. Accordingly, we may not be able to consummate those dispositions or to obtain any proceeds on terms acceptable to us or at all, and any such proceeds may not be adequate to meet any debt service obligations then due.
We may fail to comply with covenants contained in our agreements with our lenders.
Our loan agreements with our lenders contain various covenants that limit our ability to engage in specific types of transactions, including covenants that limit our ability to:
· | incur or guarantee additional debt; |
· | incur or assume certain liens; |
· | make certain loans, advances or investments; |
· | pay dividends; |
· | make certain acquisitions or dispositions; |
· | make certain capital expenditures; |
· | prepay subordinated debt; |
· | issue certain equity securities; |
· | enter into transactions with affiliates; and |
· | make certain increases in management compensation. |
In addition, we are required to comply with certain financial covenants, including a fixed charge coverage ratio covenant and a debt to Adjusted EBITDA ratio covenant, that are tested on a quarterly basis. See “Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” under Item 7 of this Report for a description of Adjusted EBITDA.
If the Company were to violate any of its covenants under its loan agreements, any such violations could cause an acceleration of the indebtedness under the loan agreements. In the event that our lenders accelerate the repayment of the indebtedness under the loan agreements, we may not have sufficient assets to repay the indebtedness.
We have refinanced our indebtedness in the past but there is no assurance we will be able to refinance all or any portion of our indebtedness in the future. If we were unable to repay or otherwise refinance the indebtedness under the loan agreements upon acceleration or when otherwise due, our lenders could proceed against the collateral granted to them to secure our obligations under the loan agreements, which could force us into bankruptcy or liquidation.
We have a history of substantial net losses and we may incur future net losses, which may cause a decrease in our stock price.
While we generated net income for fiscal years 2012 and 2011, we reported a substantial loss from operations in fiscal year 2013 and in each fiscal year from our inception in 2000 through 2010. We cannot assure you that we will achieve revenue growth or profitability or generate positive cash flow on a quarterly or annual basis in the future. If we do not achieve profitability in the future, the value of our common stock may be adversely impacted and we could have difficulty obtaining capital to continue our operations.
Our success is highly dependent on the evolution of our overall market and on general economic conditions.
The market for video communication services is evolving rapidly. Although certain industry analysts project significant growth for this market, their projections may not be realized. Our future growth depends on acceptance and adoption of video communications. There can be no assurance that the market for our services will grow, that our services will be adopted or that businesses will purchase our suite of managed video services. If we are unable to react quickly to changes in the market, if the market fails to develop or develops more slowly than expected, or if our services do not achieve market acceptance, then we are
-6-
unlikely to achieve profitability. Additionally, current economic conditions may cause a decline in business and consumer spending which could adversely affect our business and financial performance.
We are exposed to the credit and other counterparty risk of our customers in the ordinary course of our business.
Our customers have varying degrees of creditworthiness and we may not always be able to fully anticipate or detect deterioration in their creditworthiness and overall financial condition, which could expose us to an increased risk of nonpayment under our contracts with them. In the event that a material customer or customers default on their payment obligations to us, discontinue buying services from us or use their buying power with us to reduce our revenue, this could materially adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
Our future plans could be adversely affected if we are unable to attract or retain key personnel.
We have attracted a highly skilled management team and specialized workforce. Our future success is dependent in part on attracting and retaining qualified management and technical personnel. Our inability to hire qualified personnel on a timely basis, or the departure of key employees, could materially and adversely affect our business development and therefore, our business, prospects, results of operations and financial condition.
If our actual liability for sales and use taxes and regulatory fees is different from our accrued liability, it could have a material impact on our financial condition.
Each state has different rules and regulations governing sales and use taxes, and these rules and regulations are subject to varying interpretations that may change over time. We review these rules and regulations periodically and, when we believe our services are subject to sales and use taxes in a particular state, voluntarily engage state tax authorities in order to determine how to comply with their rules and regulations. Vendors of services, like us, are typically held responsible by taxing authorities for the collection and payment of any applicable sales and similar taxes. If one or more taxing authorities determines that taxes should have, but have not, been paid with respect to our services, we may be liable for past taxes in addition to taxes going forward. Liability for past taxes may also include very substantial interest and penalty charges. Our client contracts provide that our clients must pay all applicable sales and similar taxes. Nevertheless, clients may be reluctant to pay back taxes and may refuse responsibility for interest or penalties associated with those taxes. If we are required to collect and pay back taxes and the associated interest and penalties, and if our clients fail or refuse to reimburse us for all or a portion of these amounts, we will have incurred unplanned expenses that may be substantial. Moreover, imposition of such taxes on our services going forward will effectively increase the cost of such services to our clients and may adversely affect our ability to retain existing clients or to gain new clients in the areas in which such taxes are imposed. We may also become subject to tax audits or similar procedures in states where we already pay sales and use taxes. The assessment of taxes, interest, and penalties as a result of audits, litigation, or otherwise could be materially adverse to our current and future results of operations and financial condition.
Our failure to obtain or maintain the right to use certain intellectual property may negatively affect our business.
Our future success and competitive position depends in part upon our ability to obtain and maintain certain proprietary intellectual property to be used in connection with our services. While we are not currently engaged in any intellectual property litigation, we could become subject to lawsuits in which it is alleged that we have infringed the intellectual property rights of others or we could commence lawsuits against others who we believe are infringing upon our rights. Our involvement in intellectual property litigation could result in significant expense to us, adversely affecting the development of sales of the challenged product and diverting the efforts of our technical and management personnel, whether or not such litigation is resolved in our favor.
In the event of an adverse outcome as a defendant in any such litigation, we may, among other things, be required to: pay substantial damages; cease the development, use or sale of services that infringe upon other patented intellectual property; expend significant resources to develop or acquire non-infringing intellectual property; discontinue the use or incorporation of infringing technology; or obtain licenses to the infringing intellectual property. We cannot ensure that we would be successful in such development or acquisition or that such licenses would be available upon reasonable terms. Any such development, acquisition or license could require the expenditure of substantial time and other resources and could have a negative effect on our business and financial results.
An adverse outcome as plaintiff, in addition to the costs involved, may, among other things, result in the loss of the intellectual property (such as a patent) that was the subject of the lawsuit by a determination of invalidity or unenforceability, significantly increase competition as a result of such determination, and require the payment of penalties resulting from counterclaims by the defendant.

We may not be able to protect the rights to our intellectual property.
Failure to protect our existing intellectual property rights may result in the loss of our exclusivity or the right to use our technologies. If we do not adequately ensure our freedom to use certain technology, we may have to pay others for rights to use their intellectual property, pay damages for infringement or misappropriation and/or be enjoined from using such intellectual property. We rely on patent, trade secret, trademark and copyright law to protect our intellectual property. Some of our intellectual property is not covered by any patent or patent application. As we further develop our services and related intellectual property, we expect to seek additional patent protection. Our patent position is subject to complex factual and legal issues that may give rise to uncertainty as to the validity, scope and enforceability of a particular patent. Accordingly, we cannot assure you that: any of the patents owned by us or other patents that other parties license to us in the future will not be invalidated, circumvented, challenged, rendered unenforceable or licensed to others; any of our pending or future patent applications will be issued with the breadth of claim coverage sought by us, if issued at all; or any patents owned by or licensed to us, although valid, will not be dominated by a patent or patents to others having broader claims. Additionally, effective patent, trademark, copyright and trade secret protection may be unavailable, limited or not applied for in certain foreign countries.
We also seek to protect our proprietary intellectual property, including intellectual property that may not be patented or patentable, in part by confidentiality agreements. We cannot ensure that these agreements will not be breached, that we will have adequate remedies for any breach or that such persons will not assert rights to intellectual property arising out of these relationships.
We depend upon our network providers and facilities infrastructure.
Our success depends upon our ability to implement, expand and adapt our network infrastructure and support services to accommodate an increasing amount of video traffic and evolving customer requirements at an acceptable cost. This has required and will continue to require that we enter into agreements with providers of infrastructure capacity, equipment, facilities and support services on an ongoing basis. We cannot ensure that any of these agreements can be obtained on satisfactory terms and conditions. We also anticipate that future expansions and adaptations of our network infrastructure facilities may be necessary in order to respond to growth in the number of customers served.
Our network could fail, which could negatively impact our revenues.
To an extent, our success depends upon our ability to deliver reliable, high-speed access to our channels' and customers' data centers and upon the ability and willingness of our telecommunications providers to deliver reliable, high-speed telecommunications service through their networks. Our network and facilities, and other networks and facilities providing services to us, are vulnerable to damage, unauthorized accessor cessation of operations from human error and tampering, breaches of security, fires, earthquakes, severe storms, power losses, telecommunications failures, software defects, intentional acts of vandalism including computer viruses, and similar events. The occurrence of a natural disaster or other unanticipated problems at the network operations center, key sites at which we locate routers, switches and other computer equipment that make up the backbone of our service offering and hosted infrastructure, or at one or more of our partners’ data centers, could substantially and adversely impact our business. We cannot ensure that we will not experience failures or shutdowns relating to individual facilities or even catastrophic failure of the entire network or hosted infrastructure. Any damage to, or failure of, our systems or service providers could result in reductions in, or terminations of, services supplied to our customers, which could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.
Our network depends upon telecommunications carriers who could limit or deny us access to their network or fail to perform, which would have a material adverse effect on our business.
We rely upon the ability and willingness of certain telecommunications carriers and other corporations to provide us with reliable high-speed telecommunications service through their networks. If these telecommunications carriers and other corporations decide not to continue to provide service to us through their networks on substantially the same terms and conditions (including, without limitation, price, early termination liability, and installation interval), if at all, it would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Additionally, many of our service level objectives are dependent upon satisfactory performance by our telecommunications carriers. If they fail to so perform, it may have a material adverse effect on our business.
We operate in a highly competitive market and many of our competitors have greater financial resources and established relationships with major corporate customers.
The video communications industry is highly competitive and includes large, well-financed participants. With respect to our video collaboration services, we primarily compete with managed services companies and videoconferencing equipment resellers
-8-
and audio/visual integrators, including Citrix, York Telecom, Providea, BCS Global and AVI-SPL. Additionally, the market has attracted start-up and venture capital-backed companies that offer hosted bridging solutions, including Blue Jeans Networks. With respect to our network services, we primarily compete with telecommunications carries, including British Telecom/BT Conferencing, AT&T, Verizon and Telus. Many of these organizations have substantially greater financial and other resources than us, furnish some of the same services provided by us, and have established relationships with major corporate customers that have policies of purchasing directly from them. We believe that as the demand for video communications systems continues to increase, additional competitors, many of which may have greater resources than us, will continue to enter the video communications market.
There is limited market awareness of Glowpoint's services.
Our future success will be dependent in significant part on our ability to generate demand for our video collaboration services. To this end, our direct marketing and indirect sales operations must increase market awareness of our service offerings to generate increased revenue. Our products and services require a sophisticated sales effort targeted at the senior management of our prospective customers. All new hires will require training and take time to achieve full productivity. We cannot be certain that our new hires will become as productive as necessary or that we will be able to hire enough qualified individuals or retain existing employees in the future. We cannot be certain that we will be successful in our efforts to market and sell our products and services, and if we are not successful in building market awareness and generating increased sales, future results of operations will be adversely affected.
As we expand our managed services offerings, any system failures or interruptions may cause loss of customers.
Our success depends, in part, on the seamless, uninterrupted operation of our managed service offerings. As we continue to expand these services, and as the complexity and volume continue to increase, we will face increasing demands and challenges in managing them. Any prolonged failure of these services or other systems or hardware that cause significant interruptions to our operations could seriously damage our reputation and result in customer attrition and financial loss.
If we are unable to integrate acquired businesses into ours effectively, our operating results may be adversely affected.
We plan to seek acquisition opportunities in the future that complement and expand our current business. We may not be able to successfully integrate acquired businesses and, where desired, their service portfolios, into ours, and therefore we may not be able to realize the intended benefits from an acquisition. If we fail to successfully integrate acquisitions, or service portfolios, or if they fail to perform as we anticipate, our existing businesses and our revenue and operating results could be adversely affected. If the due diligence of the operations of acquired businesses performed by us and by third parties on our behalf is inadequate or flawed, or if we later discover unforeseen financial or business liabilities, acquired businesses and their assets may not perform as expected. Additionally, acquisitions could result in difficulties assimilating acquired operations and, where deemed desirable, transitioning overlapping services to be a single service offering and the diversion of capital and management’s attention away from other business issues and opportunities. We may fail to retain employees acquired through acquisitions, which may negatively impact the integration efforts. For all the reasons set forth above, the failure to integrate acquired businesses effectively may adversely impact our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Security breaches and other disruptions could compromise our information and expose us to liability, which would cause our business and reputation to suffer.
In the ordinary course of providing video communications services, we transmit sensitive and proprietary information of our customers. The secure transmission of this information is critical to our operations. Despite our security measures, our information technology and infrastructure may be vulnerable to attacks by hackers or breached due to employee error, malfeasance or other disruptions. Any such breach could compromise our networks and the information being transmitted could be accessed, publicly disclosed or stolen. Any such disclosure or other loss of information could result in legal claims or proceedings, disrupt our operations and damage our reputation, which could adversely affect our business.
We may be unable to adequately respond to rapid changes in technology.
The market for our video collaboration services is characterized by rapidly changing technology, evolving industry standards and frequent product introductions. The introduction of products and services embodying new technology and the emergence of new industry standards may render our existing managed video services obsolete and unmarketable if we are unable to adapt to change. A significant factor in our ability to grow and to remain competitive is our ability to successfully introduce new products and services that embody new technology, anticipate and incorporate evolving industry standards and achieve levels of functionality and price acceptable to the market. If our managed video services are unable to meet expectations or unable to keep pace with
-9-
technological changes in the video communication industry, our managed video services could eventually become obsolete. We may be unable to allocate the funds necessary to upgrade our managed video services as improvements in video communication technologies are introduced. In the event that other companies develop more advanced service offerings, our competitive position relative to such companies would be harmed.
We rely on a limited number of customers for a significant portion of our revenue, and the loss of any one of those customers, or several of our smaller customers, could materially harm our business.
A significant portion of our revenue is generated from a limited number of customers. For the year ended December 31, 2013, two major customer / wholesale partners represented approximately a total of 21% of our revenue. One additional customer accounted for 10% of our outstanding accounts receivable at December 31, 2013. Although the composition of our significant customers will vary from period to period, we expect that most of our revenue will continue, for the foreseeable future, to come from a relatively small number of customers. Consequently, our financial results may fluctuate significantly from period-to-period based on the actions of one or more significant customers. A customer may take actions that affect us for reasons that we cannot anticipate or control, such as reasons related to the customer's financial condition, changes in the customer's business strategy or operations, the introduction of alternative competing products, or as the result of the perceived quality or cost-effectiveness of our products. Our agreements with these customers may be canceled if we materially breach the agreement or for other reasons outside of our control such as insolvency or financial hardship that may result in a customer filing for chapter 11 bankruptcy court protection against unsecured creditors. In addition, our customers may seek to renegotiate the terms of current agreements or renewals. The loss of or a reduction in sales or anticipated sales to our most significant or several of our smaller customers could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We depend upon suppliers and have limited sources for some services.
We rely on other companies to supply some components of our network infrastructure and the means to access our network. Certain products and services that we resell and certain components that we require for our network are available only from limited sources. We could be adversely affected if such sources were to become unavailable to us on commercially reasonable terms. We cannot ensure that, on an ongoing basis, we will be able to obtain third-party services cost-effectively and on the scale and within the time frames that we require, if at all. Failure to obtain or to continue to make use of such third-party services would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We may experience material disconnections and/or reductions in the prices of our services and may not be able to replace the loss of revenues.
Historically, we have experienced both significant disconnections of services and also reductions in the prices of our services. In order to realize anticipated revenues and cash flows, we endeavor to obtain long-term commitments from new customers, as well as expand our relationships with current customers. The disconnection of services by our significant customers or by several of our smaller customers could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Service contract durations and termination liabilities are defined within the terms and conditions of our agreements with our customers. Termination of services in our existing agreements require a minimum of 30 days' notice and are subject to early termination penalties equal to the amount of accrued and unpaid charges including the remaining term length multiplied by any fixed monthly fees. The standard form of service agreement with Glowpoint includes an auto-renewal clause at the end of each term if the customer does not choose to terminate service at that time. Certain customers and partners negotiate master agreements with custom termination liabilities that differ from our standard form of service agreement.
Our failure to properly manage the distribution of our services could result in a loss of revenues.
We currently sell our services both directly to customers and through channel partners. Successfully managing the interaction of our direct and indirect sales channels to reach various potential customers for our services is a complex process. Each sales channel has distinct risks and costs, and therefore, our failure to implement the most advantageous balance in the sales model for our services could adversely affect our revenue and profitability.
We incur significant accounting and administrative costs as a publicly traded corporation that impact our financial condition.
As a publicly traded corporation, we incur certain costs to comply with regulatory requirements. If regulatory requirements were to become more stringent or if controls thought to be effective later fail, we may be forced to make additional expenditures, the amounts of which could be material. Some of our competitors are privately owned so their comparatively lower accounting and administrative costs can be a competitive disadvantage for us. Should our sales decline or if we are unsuccessful at increasing
-10-
prices to cover higher expenditures for internal controls and audits, our costs associated with regulatory compliance will rise as a percentage of sales.
If we fail to maintain an effective system of internal controls, we may not be able to accurately report our financial results or prevent fraud. As a result, current and potential stockholders may not be confident in our financial reporting, which could adversely affect the price of our stock and harm our business.
Pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, we are required to include in our annual report on Form 10-K our assessment of the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting. Although we believe that we currently have adequate internal control procedures in place, we cannot be certain that our internal controls over financial reporting will remain effective. If we cannot adequately maintain the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting, we may be subject to liability and/or sanctions or investigation by regulatory authorities, such as the SEC. Any such action could adversely affect our financial results and the market price of our common stock.
Risks Relating To Our Securities
Our common stock is thinly traded and subject to volatile price fluctuations.
Our common stock is thinly traded, and it is therefore susceptible to wide price swings. Our common stock is traded on the NYSE MKT under the symbol “GLOW.” Thinly traded stocks are more susceptible to significant and sudden price changes and the liquidity of our common stock depends upon the presence in the marketplace of willing buyers and sellers. We cannot ensure that you will be able to find a buyer for your shares. We cannot ensure that an organized public market for our securities will develop or that there will be any private demand for our common stock. We could also fail to satisfy the standards for continued exchange listing, such as standards having to do with a minimum share price, the minimum number of public shareholders or the aggregate market value of publicly held shares. Any holder of our securities should regard them as a long-term investment and should be prepared to bear the economic risk of an investment in our securities for an indefinite period.
Penny stock regulations may impose certain restrictions on the marketability of our securities.
The SEC has adopted regulations which generally define “penny stock” to be any equity security that has a market price less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. Our common stock is presently subject to these regulations which impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell such securities to persons other than established customers and accredited investors (generally those with net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000, or $300,000 together with their spouse). For transactions covered by these rules, the broker-dealer must make a special suitability determination for the purchase of such securities and have received the purchaser’s written consent to the transaction prior to the purchase. Additionally, for any transaction involving a “penny stock,” unless exempt, the rules require the delivery, prior to the transaction, of a risk disclosure document mandated by the SEC relating to the “penny stock” market. The broker-dealer must also disclose the commission payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative, current quotations for the securities and, if the broker-dealer is the sole market maker, the broker-dealer must disclose this fact and the broker-dealer’s presumed control over the market. Finally, monthly statements must be sent disclosing recent price information for the “penny stock” held in the account and information on the limited market in “penny stocks.” Consequently, the “penny stock” rules may restrict the ability of broker-dealers to sell our securities and may negatively affect the ability of purchasers of our shares of common stock to sell such securities.
Future operating results may vary from quarter to quarter, and we may fail to meet the expectations of securities analysts and investors at any given time.
We have experienced, and may continue to experience, significant quarterly fluctuations in operating results. Factors that cause fluctuation in our results of operations include growth or lack of growth in revenues and our ability to control expenses relative to our revenues. Accordingly, it is possible that in one or more future quarters our operating results will be adversely affected and fall below the expectations of securities analysts and investors. If this happens, the trading price of our common stock may decline.
Sales of substantial amounts of common stock in the public market could reduce the market price of our common stock and make it more difficult for us and our stockholders to sell our equity securities in the future.
Resale into the public market of a significant number of shares issued in prior financings could depress the trading price of our common stock and make it more difficult for our stockholders to sell equity securities in the future. In addition, to the extent other restricted shares become freely available for sale, whether through an effective registration statement or under Rule 144 of the Securities Act, or if we issue additional shares that might be or become freely available for sale, our stock price could decrease.
-11-
Although the sale of these additional shares to the public might increase the liquidity of our stockholders’ investments, the increase in the number of shares available for public sale could drive the price of our common stock down, thus reducing the value of your investment and perhaps hindering our ability to raise additional funds in the future.

Business
Glowpoint, Inc. (“Glowpoint” or “we” or “us” or the “Company”) is a provider of video collaboration services and network solutions. Our services enable our customers to use videoconferencing as an efficient and effective method of communication for their business meetings. Our customers include Fortune 1000 companies, along with small and medium enterprises in a variety of industries. We market our services globally through a multi-channel sales approach that includes direct sales and channel partners. On October 1, 2012, the Company completed the acquisition of privately held Affinity VideoNet, Inc. ("Affinity"), a service provider of public video meeting suites and managed videoconferencing. We plan to seek acquisition opportunities in the future that complement and expand our current business.
Results of Operations
Year Ended December 31, 2013 (“2013”) versus Year Ended December 31, 2012 ("2012")
-14-
Revenue. Total revenue increased $4,384,000, or 15%, in 2013 to $33,454,000 from $29,070,000 in 2012. This growth was achieved from the acquisition of Affinity as our 2013 results include a full year of results related to Affinity whereas our 2012 results include only the fourth quarter of 2012 since the acquisition occurred on October 1, 2012.
Pro forma revenue for 2012, assuming the Affinity acquisition occurred on January 1, 2012, was $37,096,000. As compared to revenue for 2013 of $33,454,000, this represents a decrease of $3,642,000, or 10%. This decrease is primarily attributable to: (i) a decrease of $2,406,000 in video collaboration services, (ii) a decrease of $865,000 in network services due to customer loss and declining prices of such services and (iii) a decrease of $371,000 in professional and other services. The $2,406,000 decrease in video collaboration services is mainly attributable to a $1,761,000 decline in revenue associated with videoconference suites from 2012 to 2013 due to lower demand for this offering. We currently expect revenue for the year ending December 31, 2014 to be approximately level with 2013 as we expect to stabilize revenue across each of our service offerings.

The following are the changes in the components of our reported revenue from 2012 to 2013:
• | Revenue for video collaboration services increased 31% to $19,612,000 in 2013, from $14,932,000 in 2012. Revenue for video collaboration services accounted for 59% of our total revenue in 2013 compared to 51% for 2012. The increase in revenue is attributable to the acquisition of Affinity. |
• | Revenue for network services decreased 3% to $12,048,000 in 2013 from $12,366,000 in 2012. Revenue for network services accounted for 36% of total revenue in 2013 compared to 43% for 2012. The decrease in revenue for network services is primarily attributable to loss of customers. |
• | Revenue for professional and other services increased 1% to $1,794,000 in 2013 from $1,772,000 in 2012. Revenue for professional and other services accounted for 5% of revenue in 2013 compared to 6% for 2012. |
Cost of revenue (exclusive of depreciation and amortization). Cost of revenue, exclusive of depreciation and amortization, includes all internal and external costs related to the delivery of revenue. Cost of revenue also includes the cost for taxes which have been billed to customers. Cost of revenue increased to $19,504,000 in 2013 from $16,044,000 in 2012. Cost of revenue, as a percentage of total revenue, was 58% and 55% for 2013 and 2012, respectively. The $3,460,000 increase in cost of revenue from 2012 to 2013 is primarily attributable to: (i) the corresponding increase in revenue and (ii) an increase in our cost of revenue as a percentage of total revenue. The increase in our cost of revenue as a percentage of revenue in 2013 is primarily the result of higher personnel costs and changes in our mix of services from the Affinity acquisition.
Research and development. Research and development expenses include internal and external costs related to the development of new service offerings and features and enhancements to our existing services. Research and development decreased 30% to $662,000 in 2013 from $946,000 in 2012, primarily attributable to a decrease in personnel costs.
Sales and Marketing. Sales and marketing expenses decreased 9% to $3,812,000 in 2013 from $4,180,000 in 2012. The decrease is primarily attributable to a decrease in personnel costs due to lower headcount in sales and marketing.
General and Administrative. General and administrative expenses include direct corporate expenses related to costs of personnel in the various corporate support categories, including executive, legal, finance, human resources and information technology. General and administrative expenses increased 26% to $8,058,000 in 2013 from $6,411,000 in 2012. This increase is primarily attributable to the following: (i) severance charges of $860,000 related primarily to the separation of our former Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, General Counsel and certain other employees during 2013, (ii) an asset impairment
-15-
charge of $680,000 during 2013 for property and equipment no longer being utilized in the Company's business, and (iii) an increase in stock-based compensation expense of $525,000, partially offset by a decrease in costs related to the Affinity acquisition of $598,000.
Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization expenses increased 37% to $2,860,000 in 2013 from $2,085,000 in 2012. This increase is primarily attributable to an increase of $944,000 in the amortization of intangible assets related to the acquisition of Affinity.
Loss from Operations. Loss from operations increased to $1,442,000 in 2013 from $596,000 in 2012. The increase in our loss from operations is primarily attributable to an increase in our operating expenses as discussed above, partially offset by an increase in revenue.

Interest and other expense, net in 2013 was $2,799,000, comprised of: (i) $993,000 of interest expense on our outstanding debt, net of interest income, (ii) $976,000 of amortization of deferred financing costs related to our debt obligations, (iii) $727,000 of amortization of debt discount, and (iv) other income of $103,000 related to the reduction of the SRS Note (see Note 7 to our consolidated financial statements). Interest and other expense, net in 2012 was $574,000, comprised of: (i) $421,000 of interest expense on outstanding debt, net of interest income, (ii) $122,000 of amortization of deferred financing costs related to our debt obligations, and (iii) $31,000 of amortization of debt discount. This increase in interest and other expense, net is primarily attributable: (i) a full year of interest expense in 2013 related to the debt incurred in October 2012 in connection with the Affinity acquisition and (ii) the 2013 write off of unamortized deferred financing costs and the debt discount associated with our former debt obligations upon the closing of our debt refinancing in October 2013 (see Note 7 to our consolidated financial statements).
Income Taxes. For 2012, an income tax benefit of $2,221,000 was recorded as a result of the change of the Company's valuation allowance related to deferred tax liabilities that arose in the acquisition of Affinity. This income tax benefit had no impact on cash flows from operations for the year ended December 31, 2012. For 2013, an income tax benefit of $30,000 was recorded related to an income tax refund. Any deferred tax asset that would be related to our historical losses has been fully reserved under a valuation allowance, reflecting the uncertainties as to realization evidenced by our historical results and restrictions on the usage of the net operating loss carry forwards.
Net Income (Loss). For 2012, net income was $1,051,000 as compared to a net loss of $4,211,000 for 2013. The increase in our net loss is primarily attributable to an increase in our loss from operations of $846,000, an increase in our interest and other expense, net of $2,225,000 and the $2,221,000 tax benefit recorded in 2012 compared to the tax benefit of $30,000 in 2013.
Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, is defined as net income (loss) before depreciation, amortization, interest and other expense, net, taxes, severance, acquisition costs, stock-based compensation and asset impairment charges. Adjusted EBITDA is not intended to replace operating income (loss), net income (loss), cash flow or other measures of financial performance reported in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Rather, Adjusted EBITDA is an important measure used by management to assess the operating performance of the Company and is used in the calculation of financial covenants in the Main Street Loan Agreement. Adjusted EBITDA as defined here may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies due to differences in accounting policies. A reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net income (loss) is shown below:

Adjusted EBITDA | $ | 4,420 | $ | 3,089 | $ | 1,331 |
We currently expect that Adjusted EBITDA for the year ended December 31, 2014 will grow by approximately 10% as compared to Adjusted EBITDA for the year ended December 31, 2013. We expect this growth in Adjusted EBITDA will be achieved primarily through reductions in our operating expenses.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of December 31, 2013, we had $2,294,000 of cash and working capital of $836,000. Our cash balance as of December 31, 2013 includes restricted cash of $242,000 (as discussed in Note 3 to our consolidated financial statements). For the year ended December 31, 2013, we generated a net loss of $4,211,000 and net cash provided by operating activities of $2,300,000. We generated cash flow from operations even though we incurred a net loss as our net loss includes certain non-cash expenses that are added back to our cash flow from operations as shown on our consolidated statements of cash flows.
During 2013, we completed a refinancing of the Company’s debt obligations as discussed below to improve the Company’s expected liquidity and reduce expected near-term debt service obligations. The former debt obligations with Escalate Capital, Comerica Bank and SRS would have required minimum principal payments of $3,630,000 in 2014 and $3,000,000 in 2015. Our new debt obligations with Main Street Capital Corporation ("Main Street") and our amended Shareholder Representative Services LLC ("SRS") Note have no required minimum principal payments in 2014 and 2015 as principal payments are based on a percentage of excess cash flow generated by the Company for the Main Street Term Loan and achievement of certain EBITDA levels for the SRS Note (see further discussion below). The Company expects principal payments on our debt obligations will approximate $950,000 in 2014 (see Note 7 to our consolidated financial statements).
During 2013, we also simplified our capital structure by exchanging all outstanding shares of Series B-1 preferred stock into common stock (see Note 14 to our consolidated financial statements). This transaction eliminated $10,247,000 of liquidation preference on the exchanged preferred stock and eliminated future annual dividends of $600,000 that would have commenced accruing in 2014.
On October 17, 2013, the Company entered into a loan agreement by and among the Company and its subsidiaries, and Main Street, as lender and as administrative agent and collateral agent for itself and the other lenders from time to time party thereto (the "Main Street Loan Agreement"). The Main Street Loan Agreement provides for an $11,000,000 senior secured term loan facility (“Main Street Term Loan”) and a $2,000,000 senior secured revolving loan facility (the “Main Street Revolver”). As of December 31, 2013, the Company has borrowed $9,000,000 under the Main Street Term Loan and $300,000 on the Main Street Revolver and the Company used the proceeds from this debt issuance to repay existing debt obligations summarized below.
During 2013, the Company received proceeds of $9,000,000 from the Main Street Term Loan and $300,000 from the Main Street Revolver, less facility fees and expenses of $322,000. Also during 2013, the Company repaid the following obligations: (i) an existing term loan of $6,500,000 with Escalate Capital Partners SBIC I, L.P. (“Escalate”), (ii) an existing term loan of $2,000,000 with Comerica Bank (“Comerica”), (iii) existing borrowings on a revolving line of credit with Comerica of $780,000, and (iv) a $300,000 fee that was due to Escalate upon repayment of the $6,500,000 term loan.
Net cash used in financing activities for 2013 was $1,324,000, attributable to: (i) net proceeds of $8,978,000 related to the proceeds from debt issuance to Main Street, less facility fees and expenses described above, (ii) repayment of former debt obligations
-17-
and related fees and expenses totaling $9,762,000, (iii) $289,000 of transaction costs related to the exchange of Series B-1 preferred stock to common stock in 2013 (see Note 14 to our consolidated financial statements), and (iv) $251,000 of principal payments on our capital lease obligations.
Borrowings under the Main Street Term Loan and Main Street Revolver mature on October 17, 2018 and October 17, 2015, respectively, unless sooner terminated as provided in the Main Street Loan Agreement. The Main Street Loan Agreement provides that Main Street Term Loan borrowings bear interest at 12% and the Main Street Revolver borrowings bear interest at 8%. Interest payments on the outstanding borrowings under the Main Street Term Loan and Main Street Revolver are due monthly. The Company is required to make quarterly principal payments on the Main Street Loan Agreement as follows: (i) starting on February 15, 2014 to April 15, 2015 in an amount equal to 33% of Excess Cash Flow generated by the Company (as defined in the Main Street Loan Agreement) during the trailing fiscal quarter and (ii) from August 15, 2015 to August 15, 2018 in an amount equal to 50% of Excess Cash Flow generated by the Company during the trailing fiscal quarter.
In February 2014, the Company amended and restated the promissory note issued to SRS for the benefit of the prior stockholders of Affinity in connection with the Affinity acquisition (the “SRS Note”). The amended SRS Note, which was effective as of December 31, 2013, (i) reduced the principal amount of the SRS Note to $1,885,000, (ii) increased the interest rate from 8% to 10% per annum and (iii) extended the maturity date from December 31, 2014 to January 4, 2016.
Annual interest payments on the $9,000,000 of borrowings under the Main Street Term Loan and $1,885,000 of borrowings under the SRS Note, assuming no principal payments are made to reduce such balances, would approximate an aggregate amount of $1,269,000. The Company may prepay borrowings under the Main Street Loan Agreement at any time without premium or penalty, subject to certain notice and minimum prepayment requirements. As of December 31, 2013, the current portion of long-term debt recorded on the Company’s balance sheet was $950,000, which reflects the principal amounts the Company expects to pay in 2014 on the Main Street Term Loan, Main Street Revolver and SRS Note.
Net cash used in investing activities for 2013 was $900,000, primarily related to the purchase of property and equipment. For 2014, we plan to invest approximately $2,000,000 in capital expenditures; mainly related to strengthening our core infrastructure, networking equipment and systems to improve and automate the delivery of the Company's service offerings to our customers. We expect to fund these capital expenditures from the cash flow from operations the Company expects to generate in 2014.
Based on our current projection of revenue, expenses, capital expenditures and cash flows, the Company believes that it has, and will have, sufficient resources and cash flows to service its debt obligations and fund its operations for at least the next twelve months following the filing of this Report. As of December 31, 2013, we had availability of $1,700,000 under the Main Street Revolver and $2,000,000 under the Main Street Term Loan (subject to approval by Main Street under the terms of the Main Street Loan Agreement). In the event we need to raise additional capital to fund operations and provide growth capital, we have historically been able to raise capital in private placements as needed. There can be no assurances, however, that we will be able to raise additional capital as may be needed or upon acceptable terms, or that current economic conditions will not negatively impact us. If the current economic conditions negatively impact us and we are unable to raise additional capital that may be needed on terms acceptable to us, it could have a material adverse effect on the Company.
Critical Accounting Policies
We prepare our consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Our significant accounting policies are described in Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements attached hereto. We believe the following critical accounting policies involve the most significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.
Revenue Recognition. Revenue billed in advance for video collaboration services is deferred until the revenue has been earned, which is when the related services have been performed. Other service revenue, including amounts passed through based on surcharges from our telecom carriers, related to the network services and collaboration services are recognized as service is provided. As the non-refundable, upfront installation and activation fees charged to our customers do not meet the criteria as a separate unit of accounting, they are deferred and recognized over the 12 to 24 month period estimated life of the customer relationship. Revenue related to professional services is recognized at the time the services are performed, and presented as required by ASC Topic 605 “Revenue Recognition.” Revenues derived from other sources are recognized when services are provided or events occur.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts. We perform ongoing credit evaluations of our customers. We record an allowance for doubtful accounts based on specifically identified amounts that are believed to be uncollectible. We also record additional allowances based on our aged receivables, which are determined based on historical experience and an assessment of the general
-18-
financial conditions affecting our customer base. If our actual collections experience changes, revisions to our allowance may be required. After all attempts to collect a receivable have failed, the receivable is written off against the allowance. We do not obtain collateral from our customers to secure accounts receivable.
Long-Lived Assets. We evaluate impairment losses on long-lived assets used in operations, primarily fixed assets, when events and circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the assets might not be recoverable as required by ASC Topic 360 “Property, Plant and Equipment.” For purposes of evaluating the recoverability of long-lived assets, the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are compared to the carrying amounts of those assets. If and when the carrying values of the assets exceed their fair values, then the related assets will be written down to fair value. During 2013 and 2012, we recorded impairment losses of $615,000 and $17,000 respectively, related to network equipment and fixed assets no longer being utilized in the Company's business.
Capitalized Software Costs. The Company capitalizes certain costs incurred in connection with developing or obtaining internal-use software. All software development costs have been appropriately accounted for as required by ASC Topic 350.40 “Intangible – Goodwill and Other – Internal-Use Software.” Capitalized software costs are included in “Property and Equipment” on our consolidated balance sheets and are amortized over three to four years. Software costs that do not meet capitalization criteria are expensed as incurred. During 2013, we recorded an impairment loss of $65,000 for certain software costs previously capitalized. No impairment losses were recorded during 2012.
Goodwill. Goodwill is not amortized but is subject to periodic testing for impairment in accordance with ASC Topic 350 "Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment". We test for impairment on an annual basis or more frequently if events occur or circumstances change indicating that the fair value of the goodwill may be below its carrying amount. The performance of the impairment test involves a two-step process. The first step of the goodwill impairment test involves comparing the fair value of the reporting unit to the carrying value, including goodwill. We established November 30 as the date of our annual impairment test for goodwill. We determined the fair value of our reporting unit using a combination of a market-based approach using quoted market prices in active markets and the discounted cash flow ("DCF") methodology. The DCF methodology requires us to make key assumptions such as projected future cash flows, growth rates, terminal value and a weighted average cost of capital. The second step of the goodwill impairment test involves comparing the implied fair value of the affected reporting unit’s goodwill with the carrying value of that goodwill. Based on the goodwill impairment test performed at November 30, 2013, the estimated fair value of the reporting unit significantly exceeded its carrying value, and therefore, the second step of the goodwill impairment test was not required. However, if market conditions deteriorate, or if the Company is unable to execute on its business plan, it may be necessary to record impairment charges in the future.
Intangible Assets. Intangible assets include customer relationships, affiliate network and trademarks recorded in connection with the acquisition of Affinity in October 2012. Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated economic lives of the assets, which range from five years to twelve years in accordance with ASC Topic 350 "Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment". Long-lived assets, including intangible assets with finite lives, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. During the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company performed an impairment test of intangible assets and determined that no impairment charges were required.
Inflation
Management does not believe inflation had a significant effect on the consolidated financial statements for the periods presented.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of December 31, 2013 and 2012 we had no off-balance sheet arrangements.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
There have been no recent accounting pronouncements or changes in accounting pronouncements during the year ended December 31, 2013 that are expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company’s management, with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of December 31, 2013. Based on such evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of December 31, 2013, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the SEC’s rules and forms and are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
The Company's management, with the participation of the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated changes in internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the quarter ended December 31, 2013 and have concluded that no change has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.
Management’s Annual Report On Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
The Company's management is responsible for establishing and maintaining an adequate system of internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f). Our internal control system was designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of consolidated financial statements for external purposes, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Because of inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with policies and procedures may deteriorate.
The Company's management, including the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2013 based on the framework in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”). The COSO framework summarizes each of the components of a company’s internal control system, including (i) the control environment, (ii) risk assessment, (iii) control activities, (iv) information and communication, and (v) monitoring. Based on this evaluation, the Company's management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2013.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Glowpoint, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Glowpoint, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2013. The financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Glowpoint, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2013 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

GLOWPOINT, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2013
December 31, 2013
Note 1 - The Business
Glowpoint, Inc. (“Glowpoint” or “we” or “us” or the “Company”) is a provider of video collaboration services and network solutions. Our services enable our customers to use videoconferencing as an efficient and effective method of communication for their business meetings. Our customers include Fortune 1000 companies, along with small and medium enterprises in a variety of industries. We market our services globally through a multi-channel sales approach that includes direct sales and channel partners.
The Company was formed as a Delaware corporation in May 2000. In October 2012, the Company acquired Affinity VideoNet, Inc. (“Affinity”), a service provider for public videoconference suites and managed videoconferencing (as discussed in Note 4). The Company operates in one segment and therefore segment information is not presented.
Note 2 - Liquidity, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Liquidity
As of December 31, 2013, we had $2,294,000 of cash and working capital of $836,000. Our cash balance as of December 31, 2013 includes restricted cash of $242,000 (as discussed in Note 3). For the year ended December 31, 2013, we generated a net loss of $4,211,000 and net cash provided by operating activities of $2,300,000. We generated cash flow from operations even though we incurred a net loss as our net loss includes certain non-cash expenses that are added back to our cash flow from operations as shown on our consolidated statements of cash flows.
On October 17, 2013, the Company entered into a loan agreement by and among the Company and its subsidiaries, and Main Street Capital Corporation (“Main Street”), as lender and as administrative agent and collateral agent for itself and the other lenders from time to time party thereto (the "Main Street Loan Agreement"). The Main Street Loan Agreement provides for an $11,000,000 senior secured term loan facility (“Main Street Term Loan”) and a $2,000,000 senior secured revolving loan facility (the “Main Street Revolver”). As of December 31, 2013, the Company has borrowed $9,000,000 under the Main Street Term Loan and $300,000 on the Main Street Revolver and the Company used the proceeds from this debt issuance to repay existing debt obligations (see Note 7).
Based on our current projection of revenue, expenses, capital expenditures and cash flows, the Company believes that it has, and will have, sufficient resources and cash flows to service its debt obligations and fund its operations for at least the next twelve months following the filing of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. As of December 31, 2013, we have availability of $1,700,000 under the Main Street Revolver and $2,000,000 under the Main Street Term Loan (subject to approval by Main Street under the terms of the Main Street Loan Agreement). In the event we need to raise additional capital to fund operations and provide growth capital, we have historically been able to raise capital in private placements as needed. There can be no assurances, however, that we will be able to raise additional capital as may be needed or upon acceptable terms, or that current economic conditions will not negatively impact us. If the current economic conditions negatively impact us and we are unable to raise additional capital that may be needed on terms acceptable to us, it could have a material adverse effect on the Company.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Glowpoint and our 100%-owned subsidiaries, Affinity and GP Communications, LLC, whose business function is to provide interstate telecommunications services for regulatory purposes. All material inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates
Preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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 consolidated financial statements and the
-F 6-
reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual amounts could differ from the estimates made. We continually evaluate estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements for reasonableness. Appropriate adjustments, if any, to the estimates used are made prospectively based upon such periodic evaluation. The significant areas of estimation include determining the allowance for doubtful accounts, deferred tax valuation allowance, accrued sales taxes, the allocation of intangible assets and their estimated lives, and the estimated lives and recoverability of property and equipment.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
We perform ongoing credit evaluations of our customers. We record an allowance for doubtful accounts based on specifically identified amounts that are believed to be uncollectible. We also record additional allowances based on our aged receivables, which are determined based on historical experience and an assessment of the general financial conditions affecting our customer base. If our actual collections experience changes, revisions to our allowance may be required. After all attempts to collect a receivable have failed, the receivable is written off against the allowance. We do not obtain collateral from our customers to secure accounts receivable. The allowance for doubtful accounts was $221,000 and $151,000 at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company considers its cash, accounts receivable and accounts payable to meet the definition of financial instruments. The carrying amount of cash, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximated their fair value due to the short maturities of these instruments. The carrying amounts of our debt obligations (see Note 7) approximate their fair values, which are based on borrowing rates that are available to the Company for loans with similar terms, collateral, and maturity.
The Company measures fair value as required by the ASC Topic 820“Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (“ASC Topic 820”). ASC Topic 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework and gives guidance regarding the methods used for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. ASC Topic 820 clarifies that fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. As a basis for considering such assumptions, there exists a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:
• | Level 1 - unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access as of the measurement date. |
• | Level 2 - inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are directly observable for the asset or liability or indirectly observable through corroboration with observable market data. |
• | Level 3 - unobservable inputs for the asset or liability only used when there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability at the measurement date. |
This hierarchy requires the Company to use observable market data, when available, and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs when determining fair value. The Company did not have any unobservable inputs as of December 31, 2013 and 2012 or during the years then ended.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue billed in advance for video collaboration services is deferred until the revenue has been earned, which is when the related services have been performed. Other service revenue, including amounts passed through based on surcharges from our telecom carriers, related to the network services and collaboration services are recognized as service is provided. As the non-refundable, upfront installation and activation fees charged to our customers do not meet the criteria as a separate unit of accounting, they are deferred and recognized over the 12 to 24 month period estimated life of the customer relationship. Revenue related to professional services is recognized at the time the services are performed. Revenues derived from other sources are recognized when services are provided or events occur.
-F 7-
Goodwill
Goodwill is not amortized but is subject to periodic testing for impairment in accordance with ASC Topic 350 "Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment". We test for impairment on an annual basis or more frequently if events occur or circumstances change indicating that the fair value of the goodwill may be below its carrying amount. The performance of the impairment test involves a two-step process. The first step of the goodwill impairment test involves comparing the fair value of the reporting unit to the carrying value, including goodwill. We established November 30 as the date of our annual impairment test for goodwill. We determined the fair value of our reporting unit using a combination of a market-based approach using quoted market prices in active markets and the discounted cash flow (“DCF”) methodology. The DCF methodology requires us to make key assumptions such as projected future cash flows, growth rates, terminal value and a weighted average cost of capital. The second step of the goodwill impairment test involves comparing the implied fair value of the affected reporting unit’s goodwill with the carrying value of that goodwill. Based on the goodwill impairment tests performed at November 30, 2013, the estimated fair value of the reporting unit exceeded its carrying value, and therefore, the second step of the goodwill impairment test was not required. However, if market conditions deteriorate, or if the Company is unable to execute on its business plan, it may be necessary to record impairment charges in the future.
Taxes Billed to Customers and Remitted to Taxing Authorities
We recognize taxes billed to customers in revenue and taxes remitted to taxing authorities in our cost of revenue. For the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, we included taxes of $1,339,000 and $1,495,000, respectively, in revenue and we included taxes of $1,283,000 and $1,454,000, respectively, in cost of revenue.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Intangible Assets
We evaluate impairment losses on long-lived assets used in operations, primarily fixed assets, when events and circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the assets might not be recoverable as required by ASC Topic 360 “Property, Plant and Equipment.” For purposes of evaluating the recoverability of long-lived assets, the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are compared to the carrying amounts of those assets. If and when the carrying values of the assets exceed their fair values, then the related assets will be written down to fair value. During 2013 and 2012, we recorded impairment losses of $615,000 and $17,000, respectively, related to network equipment and fixed assets no longer being utilized in the Company's business.
Capitalized Software Costs
The Company capitalizes certain costs incurred in connection with developing or obtaining internal-use software. All software development costs have been appropriately accounted for as required by ASC Topic 350.40 “Intangible – Goodwill and Other – Internal-Use Software.” Capitalized software costs are included in “Property and Equipment” on our consolidated balance sheets and are amortized over three to four years. Software costs that do not meet capitalization criteria are expensed as incurred. For the year ended December 31, 2013, we capitalized internal use software costs of $317,000 and we amortized $506,000 of these costs. For the year ended December 31, 2012, we capitalized internal use software costs of $422,000 and we amortized $555,000 of these costs. During 2013, we recorded an impairment loss of $65,000 for certain software costs previously capitalized. No impairment losses were recorded during 2012.
Deferred Financing Costs
Deferred financing costs, included in other assets, relate to fees and expenses incurred in connection with entering into our debt agreements (see Note 7), and are amortized as interest expense over the contractual lives of the related credit facilities.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject us to significant concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash, and trade accounts receivable. We place our cash primarily in commercial checking accounts. Commercial bank balances may from time to time exceed federal insurance limits.
-F 8-
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost and are depreciated over the estimated useful lives of the related assets, which range from three to five years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of either the asset's useful life or the related lease term. Depreciation is computed on the straight-line method for financial reporting purposes. Property and equipment include fixed assets subject to capital leases which are depreciated over the life of the respective asset.
Income Taxes
We use the asset and liability method to determine our income tax expense or benefit. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are computed based on temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates that are expected to be in effect when the differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Any resulting net deferred tax assets are evaluated for recoverability and, accordingly, a valuation allowance is provided when it is more likely that not that all or some portion of the deferred tax asset will not be realized.
Earnings per Share
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing net earnings attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings or loss per share reflects the potential dilution from the conversion or exercise into common stock of securities such as stock options and warrants as well as the average number of shares.
Stock-based Compensation
Stock based awards have been appropriately accounted for as required by ASC Topic 718 “Compensation – Stock Compensation” (“ASC Topic 718”). Under ASC Topic 718 share based awards are valued at fair value on the date of grant, and that fair value is recognized over the requisite service period. The Company values its stock option awards using the Black-Scholes option valuation model.
Research and development
Research and development expenses include internal and external costs related to the development of new service offerings and features and enhancements to our existing services.
Accounting Standards Update
There have been no recent accounting pronouncements or changes in accounting pronouncements during the year ended December 31, 2013 that are expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
Reclassifications
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current year presentation.
Note 3 - Restricted Cash
As of December 31, 2013, our cash balance of $2,294,000 included restricted cash of $242,000. The letters of credit that serve as security deposits for our leases of office space in New Jersey and Colorado (as discussed in Note 18) for $57,000 and $185,000, respectively, are secured by cash pledged as collateral and such cash is restricted by Comerica Bank. As of January 31, 2014, the letter of credit for $57,000 for our office space in New Jersey expired and therefore our restricted cash was reduced to $185,000.
Note 4 - Affinity Acquisition
On October 1, 2012, the Company completed the acquisition of 100% of the stock of Affinity, accounted for as a business combination, and paid an aggregate purchase price of $15,901,000. The purchase price consisted of (i) approximately $8.0 million in cash (obtained through debt financing as discussed in Note 7), (ii) a $2.33 million promissory note payable to the
-F 9-
Affinity shareholders (as discussed in Note 7), subject to adjustment, and (iii), 2,650,000 shares of the Company's common stock valued at approximately $5,512,000 based on the closing price of the Company's stock on October 1, 2012, subject to adjustment.
On October 1, 2012, the Company issued 100,000 shares of unregistered common stock and paid $250,000 cash to Burnham Hill Partners, LLC ("BHP") in consideration of services rendered under the Consulting Agreement dated as of September 28, 2012 between the Company and BHP. The cash and stock was divided equally between financing costs (which were included in Other Assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2012) and acquisition costs (recorded in General and Administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2012). A total of $259,000 and $857,000 of acquisition related costs were expensed and included in General and Administrative expenses in the accompanying Statement of Operations for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
The fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed were based on management estimates and values derived from an outside independent appraisal. Based on the purchase price allocation, the following table summarizes the estimated fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition (in thousands):

On October 17, 2013, the Company entered into a loan agreement by and among the Company and its subsidiaries, and Main Street Capital Corporation (“Main Street”), as lender and as administrative agent and collateral agent for itself and the other lenders from time to time party thereto (the "Main Street Loan Agreement"). The Main Street Loan Agreement provides for an $11,000,000 senior secured term loan facility (“Main Street Term Loan”) and a $2,000,000 senior secured revolving loan facility (the “Main Street Revolver”). As of December 31, 2013, the Company has borrowed $9,000,000 under the Main Street Term Loan and $300,000 on the Main Street Revolver and the Company used the proceeds from this debt issuance to repay the former debt obligations with Comerica Bank (“Comerica”) and Escalate Capital Partners SBIC I, L.P. (“Escalate”) as summarized below.
Borrowings under the Main Street Term Loan and Main Street Revolver mature on October 17, 2018 and October 17, 2015, respectively, unless sooner terminated as provided in the Main Street Loan Agreement. The Main Street Loan Agreement provides that the Main Street Term Loan borrowings bear interest at 12% per annum and the Main Street Revolver borrowings bear interest at 8% per annum. Interest payments on the outstanding borrowings under both the Main Street Term Loan and Main Street Revolver are due monthly. The Company is required to make quarterly principal payments on the Main Street Term Loan as follows: (i) starting on February 15, 2014 to April 15, 2015 in an amount equal to 33% of Excess Cash Flow generated by the Company (as defined in the Main Street Loan Agreement and effectively equal to cash flow from operations less capital expenditures less principal payments on capital leases) during the trailing fiscal quarter and (ii) from August 15, 2015 to August 15, 2018 in an amount equal to 50% of Excess Cash Flow generated by the Company during the trailing fiscal quarter. The Company may prepay borrowings under the Main Street Loan Agreement at any time without premium or penalty, subject to certain notice and minimum prepayment requirements.
The obligations of the Company under the Main Street Loan Agreement are secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company, including all intellectual property, equity interests in subsidiaries, equipment and other personal property. The Main
-F 12-
Street Loan Agreement contains standard representations, warranties and covenants for a transaction of its nature, including, among other things, covenants relating to (i) financial reporting and notification, (ii) payment of obligations, (iii) compliance with applicable laws and (iv) notification of certain events. The Main Street Loan Agreement also contains various covenants and restrictive provisions which may, among other things, limit the Company's ability to sell assets, incur additional indebtedness, make investments or loans and create liens. The Main Street Loan Agreement also contains financial covenants, including a fixed charge coverage ratio covenant and a debt to Adjusted EBITDA ratio covenant. See“Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" under Item 7 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for a description of Adjusted EBITDA. The Main Street Loan Agreement contains events of default customary for similar financings with corresponding grace periods, including failure to pay any principal or interest when due, failure to perform or observe covenants, breaches of representations and warranties, certain cross defaults, certain bankruptcy related events, monetary judgments defaults and a change in control. Upon the occurrence of an event of default, the outstanding obligations under the Main Street Loan Agreement may be accelerated and become immediately due and payable. As of December 31, 2013, the Company was in compliance with all required covenants.
On October 1, 2012, the Company entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (the "Comerica Loan Agreement") with Comerica, providing the Company with a $2,000,000 term loan (the "Comerica Term Loan") and a revolving line of credit (the “Comerica Revolver”). As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company had outstanding borrowings of $0 and $780,000, respectively, under the Comerica Revolver and $0 and $2,000,000, respectively, under the Comerica Term Loan. On October 17, 2013, outstanding borrowings on the Comerica Loans were repaid in full in connection with entry into the Main Street Loan Agreement.
On October 1, 2012, in connection with the Affinity acquisition, the Company entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (the “Escalate Loan Agreement”) with Escalate, which provided the Company with a $6,500,000 term loan (the “Escalate Term Loan”) for a term of 60 months. The Escalate Term Loan had interest at a fixed rate of 12% per annum, with interest-only payable monthly for the first 24 months. The outstanding balance of the Escalate Term Loan was payable in 36 equal monthly installments of principal, plus all accrued interest, beginning on October 31, 2014. In connection with the Escalate Term Loan, the Company agreed to pay Escalate a $300,000 fee (the "$300,000 Escalate Fee") upon the earlier to occur of: (i) the maturity date of October 1, 2017 or (ii) repayment in full of the obligations. In connection with the Escalate Term Loan, the Company issued to Escalate 295,000 shares of common stock (the “Escalate Shares”) at a purchase price of $0.01 per share on October 1, 2012. The shares were valued at $611,000 using the October 1, 2012, stock price of $2.08 less the purchase price; and this value was reflected as a debt discount to the Escalate Term Loan. The debt discount was being amortized over the term of the Escalate Term Loan. The unamortized debt discount as of December 31, 2012 was $580,000. In March 2013, the Company entered into an amendment of the Comerica Loan Agreement which required the consent of Escalate. In consideration of Escalate's consent to this amendment, the Company issued 100,000 shares of its common stock to Escalate. The shares were valued at $147,000 using the March 28, 2013 stock price of $1.47; and this value was reflected as an additional debt discount to the Escalate Term Loan. On October 17, 2013, the Escalate Term Loan and $300,000 Escalate Fee were paid in full in connection with entry into the Main Street Loan Agreement.
Unamortized financing costs related to our debt agreements of $363,000 and $651,000 are included in other assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The financing costs are amortized using the effective interest method over the term of each loan through each maturity date. During the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, there was $976,000 and $122,000 respectively, of amortization of financing costs, and $727,000 and $31,000 respectively, of amortization of debt discount. As a result of the payoff of the Comerica Term Loan, Comerica Revolver and Escalate Term Loan, the Company charged to interest and other expense in the three months ended December 31, 2013: (i) the remaining unamortized portion of the debt financing costs from the Comerica Loans and Escalate Term Loan as of the payoff date, which totaled $710,000 and (ii) the remaining unamortized portion of the debt discount from the Escalate Term Loan, which was $619,000 as of the payoff date.
On October 1, 2012, in connection with the Affinity acquisition, the Company issued a promissory note (the “SRS Note”) to Shareholder Representative Services LLC ("SRS"), in favor of the prior stockholders of Affinity, in original principal amount of $2,330,000, due and payable on December 31, 2014. The principal amount of the SRS Note accrued interest at a rate of 8% per annum, and such interest is payable in arrears in quarterly payments, which commenced on April 1, 2013. The Company is required to make monthly principal payments in the amount of $50,000 in the event the Company's trailing three month Adjusted EBITDA exceeds $1,500,000. The Company is required to make additional payments on the principal amount on each of December 31, 2013, June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2014 in an amount equal to 40% of the Company’s trailing six month Adjusted EBITDA less $3,000,000. As of December 31, 2013, the Company has not made any principal payments on the SRS Note. During the year ended December 31, 2013, the principal amount of the SRS Note was reduced by $240,000 in accordance with the terms of the SRS Note in connection with severance obligations the Company incurred related to the acquisition of Affinity resulting in an equal and offsetting reduction in goodwill. Approximately $134,000 of these severance
-F 13-
obligations remain payable and are recorded in accrued expenses in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2013.
In February 2014, the Company amended and restated the SRS Note. The amended note, which was effective as of December 31, 2013 (i) reduced the principal amount of the SRS Note by $203,000 to $1,885,000, (ii) increased the interest rate from 8% to 10% per annum and (iii) extended the maturity date from December 31, 2014 to January 4, 2016. The Company concluded that this amendment was a debt modification and not an extinguishment in accordance with ASC Topic 470-50 “Debt - Modifications and Extinguishments”. The Company recorded the $203,000 reduction of the SRS Note as follows: i) a $40,000 decrease to general and administrative expenses relating to reimbursement of certain expenses, ii) a $60,000 increase in accrued expenses and iii) a $103,000increase to other income (see Note 17).
As of December 31, 2013, the current portion of long-term debt recorded on the Company's balance sheet was $950,000, which reflects the sum of the following principal payments the Company expects to pay in 2014: $450,000 on the Main Street Term Loan, $300,000 on the Main Street Revolver and $200,000 on the SRS Note. As discussed above, principal payments in 2014 on the Main Street Term Loan and SRS Note are based on a percentage of Excess Cash Flow and achievement of certain Adjusted EBITDA levels, respectively. The principal payments related to these debt agreements are estimates and actual results may vary. Future maturities of long-term debt, assuming principal payments on the Main Street Term Loan and SRS Note for 2015 through 2018 approximate amounts estimated for 2014, are as follows (in thousands):

In 2012, the Company entered into three non-cancelable lease agreements for $90,000, $30,000 and $48,000 with interest rates of 9%, 3% and 0%, respectively. These leases are accounted for as capital leases. Depreciation expense on the equipment under the capital leases for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 was $158,000 and $131,000, respectively.

Note 12 - Stock Options
The Company periodically grants stock options to employees and directors in accordance with the provisions of our stock option plans, with the exercise price of the stock options being set at or above the closing price of our common stock on the date of grant.
In our stock option plans, the exercise price of the awards are established by the administrator of the plan and, in the case of incentive stock options ("ISOs") issued to employees who are less than 10% stockholders, the per share exercise price must be equal to at least 100% of the fair market value of a share of the common stock on the date of grant or not less than 110% of the fair market value of the shares in the case of an employee who is a 10% stockholder. The administrator of the plan determines the terms and provisions of each award granted, including the vesting schedule, repurchase provisions, rights of first refusal, forfeiture provisions, form of payment, payment contingencies and satisfaction of any performance criteria.
The weighted average fair value of each option granted is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option valuation model with the following weighted average assumptions during the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012:
-F 15-
Year Ended December 31, | |||
2013 | 2012 | ||
Risk free interest rate | 0.8% | 0.9% | |
Expected option lives | 5 years | 5 years | |
Expected volatility | 103.2% | 111.0% | |
Estimated forfeiture rate | 10% | 10% | |
Expected dividend yields | — | — | |
Weighted average grant date fair value of options | $1.39 | $2.30 |
The Company calculates expected volatility for a stock-based grant based on historic daily stock price observations of its common stock during the period immediately preceding the grant that is equal in length to the expected term of the grant. The expected term of the options and forfeiture rates are estimated based on the Company’s exercise and employment termination experience. The risk free interest rate is based on U.S. Treasury yields for securities in effect at the time of grants with terms approximating the expected life of the grants. The assumptions used in the Black-Scholes option valuation model are highly subjective and can materially affect the resulting valuations.
Glowpoint 2007 Stock Incentive Plan
Pursuant to the Glowpoint 2007 Stock Incentive Plan (as amended, the "2007 Plan"), 3,010,000 shares of common stock have been reserved for issuance thereunder. The 2007 Plan permits the grant of ISOs to employees and non-qualified stock options ("NQSOs") to employees, directors and consultants. As of December 31, 2013, options to purchase a total of 1,592,000 shares of common stock were outstanding and 409,000 shares of common stock remained available for future issuance under the 2007 Plan.
Glowpoint 2000 Stock Incentive Plan

Note 14 - Preferred Stock
Our Certificate of Incorporation authorizes the issuance of up to 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock. As of December 31, 2013, there were: 100 shares of Series B-1 Preferred Stock authorized, and no shares issued or outstanding; 7,500 shares of Series A-2 Preferred Stock authorized and 53 shares issued and outstanding; and 4,000 shares of Series D Preferred Stock authorized and no shares issued or outstanding.
Each share of Series B-1 Preferred Stock has a stated value of $100,000 per share (the “Series B-1 Stated Value”), and a liquidation preference equal to the Series B-1 Stated Value plus all accrued and unpaid dividends (the “Series B-1 Liquidation Preference”). The Series B-1 Preferred Stock is not convertible into common stock. The Series B-1
-F 18-
Preferred Stock is senior to all other classes of equity and, commencing on January 1, 2013, was entitled to cumulative dividends from January 1, 2013, at a rate of 4% per annum, payable quarterly, based on the Series B-1 Stated Value. Commencing January 1, 2014, the cumulative dividend rate increases to 6% per annum, payable quarterly, based on the Series B-1 Stated Value. The Company may, at its option at any time, redeem all or a portion of the outstanding shares of Series B-1 Preferred Stock by paying the Series B-1 Liquidation Preference.
During 2013, the Company exchanged all 100 issued and outstanding shares of Series B-1 Preferred Stock pursuant to exchange agreements between the Company and the holders of this preferred stock (the “Exchange Agreements”) for 6,667,286 shares of the Company’s common stock. The liquidation preference for the Preferred Shares was approximately $10,247,000, representing an effective conversion price for the Company's common stock issued pursuant to the Exchange Agreements of $1.54 per share. In connection with the Exchange Agreements, the holders of the Preferred Shares waived their claim to accrued dividends on the Preferred Shares in the approximate amount of $247,000. The Company recorded the reversal of these accrued dividends as a reduction to Preferred Stock Dividends on the accompanying consolidated statement of operations. The Company incurred approximately $289,000 of costs in connection with the Exchange Agreements, which were recorded as a reduction to additional paid-in capital. The Company also issued 100,000 of shares of Common Stock to a broker in October 2013, recorded in stockholders' equity as a cost of the preferred stock exchange equal to a value of $135,000. This value was based on the October 15, 2013 stock price of $1.35 (see Note 22 for further discussion). The Exchange Agreements were recorded through stockholders' equity.
Each share of Series A-2 Preferred Stock has a stated value of $7,500 per share (the “A-2 Stated Value”), a liquidation preference equal to the Series A-2 Stated Value, and is convertible at the holder’s election into common stock at a conversion price per share of $3.00. Therefore, each share of Series A-2 Preferred Stock is convertible into 2,500 shares of common stock. The Series A-2 Preferred Stock is subordinate to the Series B-1 Preferred Stock but senior to all other classes of equity, has weighted average anti-dilution protection and, commencing on January 1, 2013, is entitled to cumulative dividends at a rate of 5% per annum, payable quarterly, based on the Series A-2 Stated Value. Once dividend payments commence, all dividends are payable at the option of the holder in cash or through the issuance of a number of additional shares of Series A-2 Preferred Stock with an aggregate liquidation preference equal to the dividend amount payable on the applicable dividend payment date. As of December 31, 2013, the Company has recorded $20,000 in accrued dividends on the accompanying balance sheet related to the Series A-2 Preferred Stock.
In April 2012, a holder of the Company's Series A-2 Preferred Stock elected to convert 41 shares of Series A-2 Preferred Stock into 102,000 shares of common stock of the Company at the original conversion price. Each of the Series A-2 Preferred Stock shares was exchanged for 2,500 shares of common stock, pursuant to the terms of the Series A-2 Preferred Stock Certificate of Designation.
In accordance with ASC Topic 815, we evaluated whether our convertible preferred stock contains provisions that protect holders from declines in our stock price or otherwise could result in modification of the exercise price and/or shares to be issued under the respective preferred stock agreements based on a variable that is not an input to the fair value of a “fixed-for-fixed” option and require a derivative liability. The Company determined no derivative liability is required under ASC Topic 815 with respect to our convertible preferred stock. A contingent beneficial conversion amount is required to be calculated and recognized when and if the adjusted $3.00 conversion price of the convertible preferred stock is adjusted to reflect a down round stock issuance that reduces the conversion price below the $1.16 fair value of the common stock on the issuance date of the convertible preferred stock.
Note 15 - Warrants
During the year ended December 31, 2013, 33,000 warrants, with an exercise price of $1.60 per share, expired. There are no outstanding warrants as of December 31, 2013.
Note 16 - Earnings (Loss) Per Share
Earnings (loss) per share is calculated by dividing net earnings attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share reflects the potential dilution from the conversion or exercise into common stock of securities such as stock options and warrants.
For the years ended December 31, 2012, diluted earnings per share included 109,000 shares of common stock associated with outstanding options and warrants, 133,000 shares, issuable upon conversion of our convertible preferred stock calculated using the treasury stock method, and 1,294,000 shares, of unvested restricted stock.
-F 19-
For the year ended December 31, 2013, diluted loss per share is the same as basic loss per share as the potential shares of common stock that could have been issuable have been excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per share because inclusion of such shares would have decreased our net loss per share (been anti-dilutive). Such potentially dilutive shares of common stock consist of the following (in thousands):

Note 18 - Commitments and Contingencies
Operating Leases
We lease several facilities under operating leases expiring through 2018. Certain leases require us to pay increases in real estate taxes, operating costs and repairs over certain base year amounts. Lease payments for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 were $765,000 and $547,000, respectively.

Commercial Commitments
We have entered into a number of agreements with telecommunications companies to purchase communications services. Some of the agreements require a minimum amount of services to be purchased over the life of the agreement, or during a specified period of time.
Glowpoint believes that it will meet its commercial commitments. Historically, in certain instances where Glowpoint did not meet the minimum commitments, no penalties for minimum commitments have been assessed and the Company has entered into new agreements. It has been our experience that the prices and terms of successor agreements are similar to those offered by other carriers.
-F 20-
Glowpoint does not believe that any loss contingency related to a potential shortfall should be recorded in the consolidated financial statements because it is not probable, from the information available and from prior experience, that Glowpoint has incurred a liability.
Letter of Credit
As of December 31, 2013, the Company had outstanding irrevocable standby letters of credit with Comerica Bank for $57,000 and $185,000 to serve as our security deposits for our leases of office space in New Jersey and Colorado, respectively. The letter of credit for $57,000 related to our New Jersey location expired on January 31, 2014.
Note 19 – Major Customers
Major customers are those customers or wholesale partners that account for more than 10% of revenues. For the year ended December 31, 2013, a total of approximately 21% of revenues were derived from two major wholesale partners and the accounts receivable from these major partners represented approximately 28% of total accounts receivable as of December 31, 2013. One additional customer accounted for 10% of our outstanding accounts receivable at December 31, 2013. For the year ended December 31, 2012, approximately 25% of revenues were derived from two major wholesale partners. The loss of any one of these partners would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s operations.
Note 20 - Income Taxes
For 2012, an income tax benefit of $2,221,000 was recorded as a result of the change of the Company's valuation allowance related to deferred tax liabilities that arose in the acquisition of Affinity. This income tax benefit had no impact on cash flows from operations for the year ended December 31, 2012. For 2013, an income tax benefit of $30,000 was recorded related to an income tax refund. Our effective tax rate differs from the statutory federal tax rate for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 as shown in the following table (in thousands):

The ending balances of the deferred tax asset have been fully reserved, reflecting the uncertainties as to realizability evidenced by the Company’s historical results.
We and our subsidiaries file federal and state tax returns on a consolidated basis. During 2013, we determined that an “ownership change” occurred in 2013 (as defined under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended) which places an annual limitation on the utilization of the net operating loss (“NOL”) carryforwards accumulated before the ownership change. As a result of this annual limitation and the limited carryforward life of the accumulated NOLs, we determined that the ownership change resulted in the permanent loss of approximately $1.9 million of tax benefit associated with the NOL carryforwards. At December 31, 2013 we had accumulated NOL carryforwards of $37,165,000 available to offset future federal taxable income which expire in various amounts from 2017 through 2033. If it is determined that there is a subsequent ownership change in the future, the utilization of the Company’s NOL carryforwards may be further limited. This would result in a reduction in equal amounts to the deferred tax assets and the related valuation reserves.
There were no significant matters determined to be unrecognized tax benefits taken or expected to be taken in a tax return, in accordance with ACS Topic 740 “Income Taxes” (“ASC 740”), which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in the financial statement, that have been recorded on the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012. The Company does not anticipate a material change to unrecognized tax benefits in the next twelve months.
Additionally, ASC 740 provides guidance on the recognition of interest and penalties related to income taxes. There were no interest or penalties related to income taxes that have been accrued or recognized as of and for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012.
The federal and state tax returns for the years ending December 31, 2012, 2011, 2010 and 2009 are currently open and the tax return for the year ended December 31, 2013 will be filed by September 2014.
Note 21 - 401(k) Plan
We have adopted a retirement plan under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. The 401(k) plan covers substantially all employees who meet minimum age and service requirements. Employer contributions to the 401(k) plan for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 were $95,000 and $0, respectively.
