PFSWEB, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of PFSweb, Inc. and its subsidiaries have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and include all normal and recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets, statements of operations and comprehensive loss, statements of shareholders' equity, and statements of cash flows for the periods indicated. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. This report should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. We refer to PFSweb, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries collectively as “PFSweb,” the “Company,” “us,” “we” and “our” in these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
In July 2021, we announced an agreement to sell our LiveArea Professional Services business unit ("LiveArea") and the divestiture was completed on August 25, 2021 (the "LiveArea Transaction"). As such, the LiveArea segment has been presented as a discontinued operation beginning with the Company's Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2021. See Note 3. Discontinued Operations for additional information on our sale of LiveArea.
Results of our operations for interim periods may not be indicative of results for the full fiscal year.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. The recognition and allocation of certain revenues, costs of revenues and selling, general and administrative expenses in these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements also require management estimates and assumptions.
Estimates and assumptions about future events and their effects cannot be determined with certainty. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and various other assumptions believed to be applicable and reasonable under the circumstances. These estimates may change as new events occur, as additional information is obtained and as the operating environment changes. These changes have been included in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as soon as they became known. In addition, management is periodically faced with uncertainties, the outcomes of which are not within its control and will not be known for prolonged periods of time. Based on a critical assessment of accounting policies and the underlying judgments and uncertainties affecting the application of those policies, management believes the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are fairly stated in accordance with U.S. GAAP and provide a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position and results of operations.
Furthermore, we considered the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the use of estimates and assumptions used for financial reporting and determined that there was no adverse material impact to our results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022; however, the extent and duration of future impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and any resulting economic impact are largely unknown and difficult to predict due to these unknown factors which may have a material impact on our financial position and results of operations in the future.
Long-Lived Assets, Goodwill
Long-lived assets include property, goodwill and certain other assets. We make judgments and estimates in conjunction with the carrying value of these assets, including amounts to be capitalized, depreciation methods and useful lives. Additionally, we review long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. We review goodwill for impairment at least annually, on October 1. We record impairment losses in the period in which we determine the carrying amount is not recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. This may require us to make judgments regarding long-term forecasts of our future revenues and costs related to the assets subject to review.
9
Income Taxes
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, we have utilized the discrete effective tax rate method, as allowed by Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 740-270-30-18, “Income Taxes—Interim Reporting,” to calculate the interim income tax provision. The discrete method is applied when the application of the estimated annual effective tax rate is impractical because it is not possible to reliably estimate the annual effective tax rate. The discrete method treats the year to date period as if it was the annual period and determines the income tax expense or benefit on that basis. We believe that, at this time, the use of this discrete method is more appropriate than the annual effective tax rate method as (i) the estimated annual effective tax rate method is not reliable due to the high degree of uncertainty in estimating annual pretax earnings by certain jurisdictions and (ii) our ongoing assessment that the recoverability of our deferred tax assets is not likely in certain jurisdictions.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, "Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments," ("ASU 2016-13") which requires the measurement and recognition of expected credit losses for financial assets held at amortized cost. ASU 2016-13 replaces the existing incurred loss impairment model with an expected loss methodology, which will result in more timely recognition of credit losses. ASU 2016-13 is effective for annual reporting periods, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2019 for all public entities, excluding smaller reporting companies, and after December 15, 2022 for smaller reporting companies. It requires a cumulative effect adjustment to the balance sheet as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is effective. We will adopt ASU 2016-13 on January 1, 2023. We are currently in the early phase of evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2016-13 on our condensed consolidated financial statements.
3. Discontinued Operations
On July 2, 2021, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to sell LiveArea. As of June 30, 2021, the Company met the criteria set forth in ASC 205-20, "Presentation of Financial Statements - Discontinued Operations," therefore, the LiveArea segment has been presented as a discontinued operation beginning with the Company's June 30, 2021 Form 10-Q and is reported as a discontinued operation in this Form 10-Q for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021. The LiveArea Transaction closed on August 25, 2021. As a result of the LiveArea Transaction, we now only operate in one business segment, PFS Operations, and therefore we no longer present segment data.
In the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company and the purchaser reached settlement of certain customary post-closing purchase price adjustments and as a result, the Company recorded an incremental $0.2 million gain on sale in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss.
In connection with the LiveArea Transaction, the Company entered into a transition services agreement with the purchaser to provide certain accounting and administrative services for a period of up to twelve months. Income generated from transition services provided to the purchaser was $0.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and is recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss. There were no transition services provided during the three months ended June 30, 2022 as the transition services agreement was substantially completed by March 31, 2022.

4. Revenue from Contracts with Clients and Customers
Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities
Costs to fulfill contract assets decreased $1.9 million from December 31, 2021 to June 30, 2022, primarily due to amortization and recognition of costs. Costs to fulfill contract assets relate to deferred costs, which are included within other current assets and/or other assets, and software development costs, which are included within property and equipment, in our condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Contract liabilities were $7.9 million at December 31, 2021, of which $2.5 million was recognized as revenue during the six months ended June 30, 2022.
The timing of revenue recognition, billings and cash collections results in billed accounts receivable, unbilled receivables, and customer advances and deposits (contract liabilities) on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Changes in the contract asset and liability balances during the six months ended June 30, 2022 were not materially impacted by any other factors.

Remaining performance obligations represent the transaction price of firm orders for which work has not yet been performed. The amount reported for remaining performance obligations does not include 1) contracts that are less than one year in duration, 2) contracts for which we recognize revenue based on the right to invoice for services performed, or 3) variable consideration allocated entirely to a wholly unsatisfied performance obligation. Much of our revenue qualifies for one of these exemptions. As of June 30, 2022, the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations for contracts with an original expected duration of one year or more was $13.5 million. We expect to recognize revenue on approximately 33% of the remaining performance obligations in 2022, 29% in 2023, and the remaining recognized thereafter.

5. Inventory Financing
Supplies Distributors, an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, had a short-term credit facility with Peridot Financing Solutions (as successor to IBM Credit LLC) and its assignees (“IBM Credit Facility”) to finance its purchase and distribution of Ricoh products in the United States, providing financing for eligible Ricoh inventory and certain receivables up to $5.5 million, as per the amended agreement. The agreement had no stated maturity date and provided either party the ability to exit the facility following a 90 day notice.
12
Product revenue and the related inventory are dependent on the Ricoh distributor agreement. Effective March 2022, as part of Ricoh's continued restructuring of its operations, the Ricoh distributor agreement was terminated and as a result, our product revenue model with Ricoh was discontinued. The Company does not expect to have inventory following the termination of this agreement. The IBM Credit Facility was terminated in connection with the termination of the Ricoh distributor agreement.
The outstanding balance under the IBM Credit Facility, which represented inventory purchases, was $3.5 million as of December 31, 2021 and was classified as trade accounts payable in the consolidated balance sheets.
6. Loss Per Share
Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the reporting period. Diluted loss per share is computed by dividing net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common stock and common stock equivalents outstanding for the reporting period. In periods when we recognize a net loss from continuing operations, we exclude the impact of outstanding common stock equivalents from the diluted loss per share calculation as their inclusion would have an antidilutive effect. As of June 30, 2022 and 2021 we had outstanding common stock equivalents of approximately 1.7 million and 3.2 million, respectively, that have been excluded from the calculations of diluted earnings per share attributable to common stockholders because their effect would have been antidilutive.
7. Commitments and Contingencies
The Company is subject to claims in the ordinary course of business, including claims of alleged infringement by the Company or its subsidiaries of the patents, trademarks and other intellectual property rights of third parties as well as confidentiality and data privacy matters. The Company is generally required to indemnify its service fee clients against any third party claims asserted against such clients alleging infringement by the Company of the patents, trademarks and other intellectual property rights of third parties. While we are unable to determine the ultimate outcome of any liabilities resulting from these claims, we do not believe the resolution of any particular matter will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
8. Related Party Transactions
In December 2020, on behalf of a client, the Company entered into an agreement with Pilot Freight Services ("Pilot") under which Pilot provides the Company various freight services. David Beatson, a member of our Board of Directors was also on the Board of Directors of Pilot through May 2022 and holds less than 1% of the outstanding shares in Pilot. Pilot is a portfolio company of ATL Partners, LLC, where Mr. Beatson serves on the Executive Board and is a shareholder of its two funds (less than 1% holdings of each).
We recognized $0.1 million related party cost of revenues in both the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 and as of June 30, 2022, we had no trade accounts payable balance due to Pilot.
On May 2, 2022, ATL Partners, LLC closed on the sale of Pilot to an unrelated third party and as such, Pilot is no longer a related party of the Company.

ITEM 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion and analysis of our results of operations and financial condition should be read in conjunction with the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes appearing elsewhere in this Form 10-Q.
Forward-Looking Information
This Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, including statements that involve expectations, plans or intentions (such as those relating to future business, future results of operations or financial condition, new or planned features or services, or management strategies). You can identify these forward-looking statements by words such as “may,” “will,” “would,” “should,” “could,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “intend,” “plan,” “potential,” “project,” “predict,” “future,” “target,” “seek,” “continue” and other similar expressions. These forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties and may include assumptions as to how we may perform in the future. Although we believe the expectations reflected in our forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee these expectations will actually be achieved. In addition, some forward-looking statements are based upon assumptions about future events that may not prove to be accurate. Therefore, our actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied in our forward-looking statements. Such risks and uncertainties include, among others, those discussed in “Part I, Item 1A: Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on May 9, 2022 (the “Annual Report”), as well as in our consolidated financial statements, related notes, and the other information appearing elsewhere in the Annual Report and our other filings with the SEC, including our quarterly reports on Form 10-Q. We do not intend, and undertake no obligation, to update any of our forward-looking statements after the date of this report to reflect actual results or future events or circumstances. There may be additional risks we do not currently view as material or that are not presently known or that are beyond our ability to control or predict. Given these risks and uncertainties, investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements.
Key Events and Trends
On July 2, 2021, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to sell LiveArea for approximately $250.0 million in cash, subject to certain adjustments and customary closing conditions including receipt of regulatory approvals (the "LiveArea Transaction"). The LiveArea Transaction closed on August 25, 2021 ("the LiveArea Transaction Date"). As of June 30, 2021, the criteria for reporting LiveArea as a discontinued operation were met; as such, the LiveArea segment has been presented as a discontinued operation beginning with the Company's Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2021. Unless otherwise specified, the financial information and discussion in this Form 10-Q are based on our continuing operations and exclude any results of our discontinued operations (i.e., LiveArea).
See Note 3. Discontinued Operations to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-Q for additional information on our discontinued operations.
COVID-19 Pandemic
We continue to monitor the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic (and any variants thereof) on all aspects of our business. While the COVID-19 pandemic has not had a material adverse impact on our results of operations to date, the future impacts of the pandemic and any continuing and/or additional future economic impacts are still uncertain, especially as the pandemic continues. We have experienced labor rate increases in certain of our markets for fulfillment activities and labor shortages in all markets. We believe this will continue and will impact our overall fulfillment related costs and staffing. In the interim, we are leveraging our multi-node network and distributing work to our centers with more available labor and/or lower costs, implementing certain productivity enhancements, working together with our clients to reduce costs, and offsetting the cost increases with price increases where necessary.
We have taken a number of precautionary measures designed to help minimize the risk of the spread of the virus to our employees and adjusted our operations wherever necessary to help ensure a safe environment for our staff across business functions. As a result of the impact of COVID-19, many businesses continue to experience short-term or long-term liquidity issues. Based on our current expectations, we believe we have the appropriate financial structure in place to support our own business operations through the pandemic. However, we do expect potential risk from the viability of clients and their ability to make payments on time. We have and will continue to closely monitor our clients’ financial results, payment patterns and business updates in an effort to minimize any potential credit risk impact.
While many of the related restrictions have been lifted, we have also seen a resurgence of the virus (including new variants) in many geographic regions, which could have a negative impact on our business and adversely affect the Company’s results of operations, cash flows and financial position as well as that of our clients. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, costs related to the COVID-19 pandemic, excluding hourly wage rate related labor cost increases, were not material. We will continue to monitor these for potential impacts to future cash flow.
14
While the COVID-19 pandemic has not had a material adverse impact on our operations to date, the extent and duration of future impacts of the pandemic (including any variants of COVID-19) and any resulting economic impact on our business are largely unknown and difficult to predict.

Total revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 increased by $3.5 million and $9.3 million, respectively, compared with the corresponding periods in 2021. Service fee revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 increased by $2.2 million in each period compared to the corresponding periods in 2021 as new client activity and expansion of existing client relationships were partially offset by the impact of certain client terminations, the impact of foreign currency exchange rates and the impact on service fee revenue of certain contracts shared with LiveArea (as described in the next paragraph). Excluding the impact of this LiveArea related contract activity, the Company's service fee revenue increased $6.8 million and $15.7 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, compared with the corresponding periods in 2021.
15
Certain client contracts supported by the LiveArea segment were not fully transferred to the buyer as part of the LiveArea Transaction. Subsequent to the LiveArea Transaction Date, PFSweb is acting as a prime contractor for these certain client contracts and the related services are being provided by the former LiveArea business as a subcontractor of PFSweb. The services provided under these client contracts are currently being managed by PFSweb, and as such, the related service fee revenues, costs of revenues and gross profit previously generated by this LiveArea related activity have been included in our continuing operations during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 period. Subsequent to the LiveArea Transaction in August 2021, revenue billed under this contractor-subcontractor relationship are recorded as pass-through revenue and pass-through costs for as long as such contracts continue to be managed directly by PFSweb. Service fee revenues generated under these contracts applicable to our former LiveArea segment of $3.3 million and $6.4 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively, are included in service fee revenue in the condensed consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss.
Product revenue, net, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, decreased by $4.4 million and $5.5 million, respectively, compared with the corresponding periods in 2021. Product revenue declined as it was primarily dependent on one client, Ricoh, which restructured its operations and discontinued certain product lines. Effective March 2022, our agreement with this client was terminated and as a result our product revenue model with this client was discontinued.
Pass-through revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 increased by $5.7 million and $12.6 million, respectively, compared with the corresponding period in 2021. The increase is primarily due to increased freight activity (the primary component of pass-through revenue) applicable to certain client accounts and the impact of approximately $3.9 million and $8.1 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, on pass-through revenue of certain contracts shared with LiveArea (as noted above).
Gross margin decreased by 3.7% and 4.9% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 compared with the corresponding periods in 2021. The decreased gross margin is due to a decrease of our service fee margin of 4.7% and 5.6% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 compared with the corresponding periods in 2021, primarily as a result of increased fulfillment labor costs, which were partially offset by certain price increases. We continue to implement actions to offset labor costs, including leveraging our multi-node network and distributing work to our centers with more available labor and/or lower costs, implementing certain productivity enhancements, working with our clients to reduce costs, and offsetting the cost increases with price increases where necessary. Additionally, our comparative gross margin for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 versus the prior year periods was negatively impacted by reduced levels of both technology-related project activity and other higher margin non-fulfillment related activity, as well as the negative gross margin impact of the LiveArea related contract activity which generated gross margin in the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and, as described above, subsequent to the LiveArea Transaction was accounted for as pass-through revenue and pass-through costs in the three and six months ended June 30, 2022.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $1.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the corresponding period in 2021. The decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease in general and administrative payroll cost resulting from reduced personnel, a decrease in stock based compensation expense and a decrease in unallocated facility related expense due to increased utilization which was partially offset by costs related to professional fees and other costs related to regaining the SEC filing compliance and the Company's ongoing strategic alternatives assessment process.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $1.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the corresponding period in 2021. The increase was primarily attributable to higher professional fees and other costs related to regaining SEC filing compliance, including severance costs applicable to our ongoing efforts to optimize certain corporate functions and costs related to the Company's ongoing strategic alternatives assessment process. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in salaries and wages, $0.6 million of other income applicable to the transition services agreement related to the LiveArea Transaction which was substantially completed at March 31, 2022, a decrease in stock based compensation expense and a decrease in unallocated facility related expenses due to increased utilization.
16
Income Taxes
For the three months ended June 30, 2022 loss from continuing operations before income taxes was $4.3 million and income tax expense was $0.2 million resulting in an effective tax rate of (4.3)%. For the three months ended June 30, 2021, loss from continuing operations before income taxes was $4.7 million and income tax benefit was $0.2 million resulting in an effective tax rate of 3.3%. The effective tax rate varied from the U.S. federal statutory rate for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 primarily due to state and foreign tax expense.
For the six months ended June 30, 2022 loss from continuing operations before income taxes was $11.5 million and income tax expense was $0.5 million resulting in an effective tax rate of (4.4)%. For the six months ended June 30, 2021, loss from continuing operations before income taxes was $5.8 million and income tax expense was $0.1 million resulting in an effective tax rate of (2.2)%. The effective tax rate varied from the U.S. federal statutory rate for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 primarily due to state and foreign tax expense.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of June 30, 2022, we have $148.2 million of cash and cash equivalents, no bank debt and only $0.2 million of finance leases. Our cash position is expected to satisfy our known operating cash needs, working capital and capital expenditure requirements, debt and lease obligations, and loans to our subsidiaries, if needed, and potential distributions to shareholders for at least the next twelve months. However, our cash position could be impacted by the increasing labor costs as a result of labor market shortages, our ability to adjust our overall cost structure to support a smaller remaining business following the completion of the LiveArea Transaction, and costs related to the Company's ongoing strategic alternatives assessment process.
Cash Flows from Operating Activities
During the six months ended June 30, 2022, net cash provided by operations was $2.8 million, compared to net cash used in operations of $0.3 million in the same period in 2021. The six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 both included a net cash use related to operations before changes in operating assets and liabilities. Such cash use for both periods was offset by the net impact of changes in assets and liabilities, primarily related to the amount and timing of client revenue billings and collections and vendor purchasing and payment activity, all of which fluctuated during our seasonal peak periods.
Cash Flows from Investing Activities
Cash used in investing activities include capital expenditures of $4.7 million and $2.0 million during the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, exclusive of property and equipment acquired under debt and finance lease financing, which consisted primarily of capitalized software costs and equipment purchases. Due to the net proceeds received from the LiveArea Transaction, the Company is now primarily using its existing cash to fund capital expenditures, whereas in the past the Company would utilize a combination of cash and debt. Capital expenditures have historically consisted of additions to upgrade our management information systems, development of customized technology solutions to support and integrate with our service fee clients and general expansion and upgrades to our facilities, both domestic and foreign. We expect to incur capital expenditures to support new facilities, contracts and anticipated future growth opportunities. Based on our current client business activity and our targeted growth plans, we anticipate our total investment in additions and upgrades to facilities and information technology solutions and services for the upcoming twelve months, including costs to implement new clients, will be approximately $8.0 million to $10.0 million, although additional capital expenditures may be necessary to support the infrastructure requirements of new clients. To maintain our current operating cash position, a portion of these expenditures may be financed through client reimbursements, debt, operating or finance leases or additional equity.
Cash Flows from Financing Activities
During the six months ended June 30, 2022, cash used in financing activities was $2.0 million primarily resulting from taxes paid on behalf of employees on shares issued under stock-based compensation awards. Cash provided by financing activities was $4.8 million during the six months ended June 30, 2021, primarily reflecting borrowing and payment activity on our revolving loan and other debt partially offset by taxes paid on behalf of employees for withheld shares.
Working Capital
During the six months ended June 30, 2022, our working capital decreased to $151.0 million compared to $165.1 million at December 31, 2021, which was primarily a result of the losses incurred from operations, $4.7 million of capital expenditures and $2.3 million of tax withholding on shares issued under stock-based compensation awards in the six months ended June 30, 2022.
To obtain any necessary additional financing in the future, in addition to our current cash position, we continue to evaluate our needs in light of various financing alternatives potentially available including the sale of equity, utilizing capital or operating leases, or entering into new debt agreements. No assurances can be given we will be successful in obtaining any
17
additional financing or the terms thereof. We currently believe our cash position and funds generated from operations will satisfy our presently known operating cash needs, our working capital and capital expenditure requirements, our current debt and lease obligations, and additional loans to our subsidiaries, if necessary, for at least the next twelve months.
Inventory Financing
Supplies Distributors, an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, had a short-term credit facility with Peridot Financing Solutions (as successor to IBM Credit LLC) and its assignees (“IBM Credit Facility”) to finance its purchase and distribution of Ricoh products in the United States, providing financing for eligible Ricoh inventory and certain receivables up to $5.5 million, as per the amended agreement. The agreement has no stated maturity date and provided either party the ability to exit the facility following a 90 day notice.
Product revenue and the related inventory are dependent on the Ricoh distributor agreement. Effective March 2022, as part of Ricoh's continued restructuring of its operations, the Ricoh distributor agreement was terminated and as a result, our product revenue model with Ricoh was discontinued. The Company does not expect to have inventory following the termination of this agreement. The IBM Credit Facility was terminated in connection with the termination of the Ricoh distributor agreement.
The outstanding balance under the IBM Credit Facility, which represented inventory purchases, was $3.5 million as of December 31, 2021 and was classified as trade accounts payable in the consolidated balance sheets.
Product revenue decreased to $0.1 million and $3.3 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and was not a substantial part of the Company's business following several years of product revenue and associated profitability declines.
Debt and Finance Lease Obligations
Master Lease Agreements. We have various agreements that provide for leasing or financing transactions of equipment and other assets and will continue to enter into such arrangements as needed to finance the purchasing or leasing of certain equipment or other assets. Borrowings under these agreements, which generally have terms of three to five years, are generally secured by the related equipment, and in certain cases, by a Company guarantee.
Other than our finance and operating lease commitments, we do not have any other material financial commitments, although future client contracts may require capital expenditures and lease commitments to support the services provided to such clients.

ITEM 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market Risk
Not applicable.
ITEM 4. Controls and Procedures
(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of the end of the period covered by this report, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO” and together with the CEO, the “Certifying Officers”), we evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)). Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Certifying Officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Based upon this evaluation, and the above criteria, our CEO and CFO concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective as of June 30, 2022.
Notwithstanding the previously identified material weaknesses described below, our management, including our CEO and CFO, concluded that the consolidated financial statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 fairly present, in all material respects, the Company’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented, in conformity with U.S. GAAP. However, because the material weaknesses create a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement to our consolidated financial statements may not have been prevented or detected on a timely basis, the Company’s management concluded that at June 30, 2022, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was ineffective.
Previously Reported Material Weakness in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
As previously described in Part II—Item 9A – Controls and Procedures of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021,
•our management concluded that the Company did not design, implement, and operate effective process-level control activities related to our order-to-cash process (specifically controls over revenue recognition pertaining to client invoicing) resulting in deficiencies in our process-level control activities.
•we identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting relating to accounting for unusual transactions. Specifically, deficiencies were identified relating to the financial reporting requirements triggered by the LiveArea Transaction, including the required financial statement presentation of discontinued operations.
•we identified deficiencies in various aspects of our income tax controls related to the preparation and review of our income tax provision, including the tax complexities triggered by the disposition of LiveArea in multiple jurisdictions as part of the LiveArea Transaction, which management concluded such deficiencies aggregated to a material weakness.
•we identified a material weakness in internal control over financial reporting related to ineffective information technology general controls (“ITGCs”) in the areas of user access and segregation of duties related to administration of certain information technology (“IT”) systems that support the Company’s financial reporting processes. These control deficiencies were a result of inadequate risk-assessment processes to identify and assess user access and change management controls in certain IT systems.
We have not remediated the material weaknesses described above as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022.
Management’s Plan for Remediation
In response to these material weaknesses, management, with oversight of the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors, has identified and begun to implement steps to remediate the material weaknesses. Specifically:
•The Company has prepared training documentation and held training meetings with invoice preparers and reviewers and designed certain mitigating controls which include monthly analytical review procedures to ensure accuracy of client invoices. Management believes significant progress has been made and the implemented mitigating controls will remediate this material weakness in 2022.
19
•The Company has hired additional accounting personnel (including temporary personnel with requisite accounting and reporting experience) to fill needed roles and assist in our accounting and financial reporting. The Company has augmented its accounting and reporting resources, improved controls over financial reporting related to unusual transactions and has regained compliance with the filing requirements of the SEC. Management believes this material weakness will be remediated in 2022.
•The Company has engaged a third-party advisory accounting firm and hired additional temporary resources with requisite tax experience to fill needed roles and assist in proper accounting and financial reporting for income taxes. Management believes the Company has made significant progress improving controls related to preparation and review of our income tax provision, and believes this material weakness will be remediated in 2022.
•Regarding the ITCG deficiencies, the Company has identified and implemented certain mitigating controls in 2021. Our remediation plan with respect to the ITGC deficiencies includes training of personnel tasked with reviewing IT system user access and segregation of duties risks. In addition, the Company will work with its third-party advisory firm to strengthen the design, execution and documentation of certain controls over user access and segregation of duties of certain IT systems. Management believes this material weakness will be remediated in 2022.
The Company continues to implement certain remediation actions and continues to test and evaluate the elements of the remediation plan. Other potential remediation activities that may be considered include further training of employees and the design and implementation of additional mitigating controls.
We are committed to ensuring that our internal controls over financial reporting are designed and operating effectively. The material weaknesses will not be considered remediated until the applicable controls operate for a sufficient period of time and management has concluded, through testing, that these controls are operating effectively.
Other than discussed above, during the six months ended June 30, 2022, there was no change in internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) or Rule 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
