NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(unaudited)

(1) Nature of Business and Basis of Presentation

Qumu Corporation ("Qumu" or the "Company") provides the tools to create, manage, secure, distribute and measure the success of live and on-demand video for enterprises. The Qumu platform enables global organizations to drive employee engagement, increase access to video, and modernize the workplace by providing a more efficient and effective way to share knowledge. Qumu's customers, which include some of the world’s largest organizations, leverage the Qumu platform for a variety of cloud, on-premise and hybrid deployments. Use cases include self-service webcasting, sales enablement, internal communications, product training, regulatory compliance and customer engagement. The Company and its channel partners market Qumu's products to customers primarily in North America, Europe and Asia.

The Company views its operations and manages its business as one segment and one reporting unit. Factors used to identify the Company's single operating segment and reporting unit include the financial information available for evaluation by the chief operating decision maker in making decisions about how to allocate resources and assess performance. The Company markets its products and services through regional sales representatives and independent distributors in the United States and international markets.

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

The preparation of 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 financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited and have been prepared by the Company in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). Pursuant to such rules and regulations, certain financial information and footnote disclosures normally included in a complete set of financial statements have been condensed or omitted. However, in the opinion of management, the financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and results of operations and cash flows of the interim periods presented. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K as of and for the year ended December 31, 2020.

Capitalized Development Costs

The Company capitalizes certain development costs related to our sales platform during the application development stage as long as it is probable the project will be completed and the software will be used to perform the function intended. Capitalized software development costs are recorded as part of property and equipment, net. Costs related to preliminary project activities and post-implementation activities are expensed as incurred. Capitalized software development costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the software’s estimated useful life, which is generally three years, and amortization is recorded in operating expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The Company evaluates the useful lives of these assets on an annual basis and tests for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances occur that could impact the recoverability of these assets. The Company capitalized $139,000 of software development costs during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021. No software development costs were capitalized during the six months ended June 30, 2020.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes, which simplifies the accounting for income taxes by removing exceptions within the general principles of Topic 740 regarding the calculation of deferred tax liabilities, the incremental approach for intraperiod tax allocation, and calculating income taxes in an interim period. In addition, the ASU adds clarifications to the accounting for franchise tax (or similar tax) which is partially based on income, evaluating tax basis of goodwill recognized from a business combination, and reflecting the effect of any enacted changes in tax laws or rates in the annual effective tax rate computation in the interim period that includes the enactment date. The Company adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2021, prospectively, and the adoption of this standard did not have a material impact to the consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Table of Contents

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. The purpose of the amendment is to simplify how an entity is required to test goodwill for impairment by eliminating Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. Step 2 measures a goodwill impairment loss by comparing the implied fair value of a reporting unit’s goodwill with the carrying amount of that goodwill. The Company adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2021, prospectively, and the adoption of this standard did not have a material impact to the consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which supersedes current guidance requiring recognition of credit losses when it is probable that a loss has been incurred. The standard requires the establishment of an allowance for estimated credit losses on financial assets, including trade and other receivables, at each reporting date. The ASU will result in earlier recognition of allowances for losses on trade and other receivables and other contractual rights to receive cash. The Company adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2021, prospectively, and the adoption of this standard did not have a material impact to the consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40). This update amends the guidance on convertible instruments and the derivatives scope exception for contracts in an entity's own equity and improves and amends the related EPS guidance for both Subtopics. This standard is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021. Early adoption is permitted but no earlier than fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2020-06 on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Goodwill

The goodwill balance of $7.6 million at June 30, 2021 reflects the impact of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations since the acquisition date.

(3) Commitments and Contingencies

Leases

The Company is obligated under finance leases covering certain IT equipment that expire at various dates over the next three years. The Company also has non-cancellable operating leases, primarily for office space, that expire at various dates over the next three years. The Company has two leases that each contained a renewal option for a period of five years. Because at the inception of the leases the Company was not reasonably certain it would exercise the options, the options were not considered in determining the lease terms. In December 2020, the Company notified landlords for the two leases that it was surrendering its right to occupy the office spaces and thereby would not be exercising its option to renew and would be exercising the leases' early termination clauses allowing the lease terms to end in May 2022 and August 2022.

The components of lease cost were as follows (in thousands):


	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,
	2021		2020		2021		2020
Operating lease cost	$	46	$	98	$	91	$	194
Finance lease cost:
Amortization of right of use assets	26		31		55		62
Interest on lease liabilities	3		2		5		4
Total finance cost	29		33		60		66
Total lease cost	$	75	$	131	$	151	$	260

Future payments used in the measurement of lease liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2021 are as follows (in thousands):


	Operating leases		Finance leases

2025	—		3

Total undiscounted lease payments	1,033		245
Less amount representing interest	(64)		(19)
Present value of lease liabilities	$	969	$	226

Wells Fargo Credit Facility

On January 15, 2021, the Company entered into and closed on the Loan and Security Agreement (the “line of credit”) with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association providing for a revolving line of credit. Pursuant to the line of credit, the Company granted a security interest in substantially all of its properties, right and assets (including certain equity interest of the Company's subsidiaries). As of June 30, 2021, there were no amounts outstanding on the line of credit. For the quarter ending June 30, 2021, the Company was in compliance with all covenants of the credit agreement.

Table of Contents

On August 6, 2021, the Company entered into a First Amendment to the line of credit dated January 15, 2021. The following summarizes the Loan and Security Agreement as amended by the First Amendment.

The revolving line has a maximum availability for borrowing of the lesser of $10 million or a defined borrowing base, less any outstanding letters of credit and the outstanding principal balance of any advances. However, until the Company's financial statements due for the quarter ending September 30, 2021 are received and reviewed by the Lender, the availability amount will not exceed $7.5 million. The borrowing base is initially four times the prior quarter’s monthly average recurring revenue from eligible customer accounts, but the multiple will thereafter be adjusted on a quarterly basis from and after the calendar quarter ending September 30, 2021. Thereafter, the borrowing base multiple will be four times if monthly recurring revenue declined from the preceding calendar quarter, five times if monthly recurring revenue increased up to 5% over the preceding calendar quarter, and six times if monthly recurring revenue increased at least 5% over the preceding calendar quarter. The revolving line has a January 15, 2023 maturity date and amounts borrowed bear interest at a floating per annum rate equal to 1.25% above Wells Fargo's prime rate, currently 3.25%. The Company will also be obligated to pay Wells Fargo an unused revolving line facility fee quarterly in arrears of 0.25% per annum of the average unused portion of the revolving line of credit during such quarterly period.

The line of credit contains customary affirmative and negative covenants and requirements relating to the Company and its operations. The affirmative covenants also require the Company to maintain at all times minimum quarterly recurring revenue and minimum liquidity. The minimum quarterly recurring revenue for the third and fourth quarters of 2021 must be $4.5 million and $4.75 million, respectively. The minimum quarterly recurring revenue must be $5 million, $5.5 million, $6 million and $6.5 million for the first quarter through the fourth quarter of 2022, respectively. The Company is required to have minimum liquidity, tested as of the last day of each fiscal quarter. If the Company's trailing three month cash burn (calculated as provided in the First Amendment) is negative, then the Company must have liquidity of not less than $5 million or an amount equal to six months of remaining months minimum liquidity. If the Company's trailing three month cash burn is greater than or equal to zero dollars, then the Company must have liquidity of not less than $5 million. Liquidity is generally defined as including the aggregate amount of unrestricted and unencumbered cash and cash equivalents held at such time by the Company in accounts maintained with Wells Fargo or its affiliates in the United States, and the availability under the line of credit. Cash burn is Adjusted EBITDA, as defined in the First Amendment, less capital expenditures and cash interest paid.

Note Payable

On January 15, 2021, the Company repaid the secured promissory note dated May 1, 2020 to ESW Holdings, Inc. in the amount of $1.83 million, which represented the deferred purchase price of the Company’s purchase and termination of the warrant to ESW Holdings, Inc. ("ESW warrant") dated January 12, 2018 for 925,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. In connection with the repayment of the promissory note, the related security agreement dated May 1, 2020 between the Company and ESW Holdings, Inc. was terminated. As provided in the promissory note, the Company would have been obligated to pay ESW Holdings, Inc. an additional $150,000 if a Fundamental Transaction, as defined in the promissory note, occurred on or prior to April 1, 2021. The contingent payment obligation expired on April 1, 2021 as no such Fundamental Transaction occurred.

Contingencies

In connection with the termination of merger agreement with Synacor, Inc. on June 29, 2020, Qumu is contingently obligated to pay Synacor, Inc. $1.45 million upon the occurrence of certain events with respect to an Acquisition Transaction (as defined in the mutual termination agreement with Synacor, Inc.) during the 15 months following the termination, that is, by September 29, 2021. The Company has not accrued a liability related to this contingent obligation as the payment is not triggered unless and until an Acquisition Transaction occurs.

The Company is exposed to asserted and unasserted claims encountered in the normal course of business. Legal costs related to loss contingencies are expensed as incurred. In the opinion of management, the resolution of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

The Company’s standard arrangements include provisions indemnifying customers against liabilities if the Company's products infringe a third-party’s intellectual property rights. The Company has not incurred any costs in its continuing operations as a result of such indemnifications and has not accrued any liabilities related to such contingent obligations in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.

(4) Fair Value Measurements

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are classified into the following categories:

•Level 1: Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.

•Level 2: Inputs include data points that are observable such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, and inputs (other than quoted prices) such as interest rates and yield curves that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.

•Level 3: Inputs are generated from model-based techniques that use significant assumptions not observable in the market. These unobservable assumptions reflect an entity’s own estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

As of June 30, 2021, the following warrants for the purchase of Qumu's common stock were outstanding and exercisable:


Description	Number of underlying warrant shares	Warrant exercise price (per share)		Warrant expiration date
Warrant issued in conjunction with October 2016 debt financing ("Hale warrant")	238,583	$	2.80	October 21, 2026
Warrant issued to sales partner, iStudy Co., Ltd. ("iStudy warrant")	100,000	$	2.43	August 31, 2028
Total warrants outstanding	338,583

The warrant liability was recorded in the Company's consolidated balance sheets at its fair value on the respective dates of issuance and is revalued on each subsequent balance sheet date until such instrument is exercised or expires, with any changes in the fair value between reporting periods recorded in other income (expense) of the consolidated statement of operations as "Decrease (increase) in fair value of warrant liability." The Company recorded non-cash income of $1.0 million and non-cash expense of $434,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and non-cash income of $1.4 million and non-cash expense of $398,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, resulting from the change in fair value of the warrant liability.

On May 1, 2020, the Company canceled the ESW warrant in exchange for a note payable (see Note 3–"Commitments and Contingencies") which contained an embedded derivative liability that is measured on a recurring basis at fair value. The Company recognized non-cash income of $37,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2021 resulting from the change in fair value of the derivative liability. The derivative liability was derecognized on April 1, 2021 upon expiration of the contingent payment obligation without the contingency being triggered.

The Company’s liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis and the fair value hierarchy utilized to determine such fair values were as follows at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 (in thousands):


			Fair Value Measurements Using
	Total Fair Value at June 30, 2021		Quoted Prices in Active Markets (Level 1)		Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2)		Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)
Liabilities:

The Company's evaluation of the probability and timing of a change in control represents an unobservable input (Level 3) that shortens or lengthens the expected term input of the option pricing model for all warrants, and generally correspondingly increases or decreases, respectively, the discounted value of the minimum cash payment component of the Hale warrant. Consequently, as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the liability related to each warrant was classified as a Level 3 warrant liability.

The Company's evaluation of the probability and timing of a change in control represents an unobservable input (Level 3) that increases or decreases the likelihood of triggering the note payable agreement's Fundamental Transaction contingency, resulting in Level 3 classification of the derivative liability.

The following table represents the significant unobservable input used in the fair value measurement of Level 3 warrant liability instruments:


			June 30, 2021
Probability-weighted timing of change in control			4.9 years

The following table summarizes the changes in fair value measurements for the six months ended June 30, 2021:


	Warrant liability		Derivative liability		Total

Contract Balances

The Company’s balances for contract assets totaled $229,000 and $467,000 as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. The Company’s balances for contract liabilities, which are included in deferred revenue, totaled $12.7 million and $16.4 million as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.

During the three months and six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company recognized $4.6 million and $8.3 million, respectively, of revenue that was included in the deferred revenue balance at the beginning of the period. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company recognized $3.9 million and $6.6 million, respectively, of revenue that was included in the deferred revenue balance for each respective period. All other activity in deferred revenue is due to the timing of invoices in relation to the timing of recognizable revenue as described above.

Revenue allocated to remaining performance obligations represents the transaction price allocated to the performance obligations that are unsatisfied, or partially unsatisfied, which includes unearned revenue and amounts that will be invoiced and recognized as revenue in future periods. Contracted but unsatisfied performance obligations were approximately $24.2 million as of June 30, 2021, of which the Company expects to recognize $13.5 million of revenue over the next 12 months and the remainder thereafter. During the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, no revenue was recognized from performance obligations satisfied in previous periods.

(6) Stock-Based Compensation

The Company granted the following stock-based awards in the periods indicated:


	Three Months Ended June 30,		Six Months Ended June 30,
	2021	2020	2021	2020

(7) Income Taxes

As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company’s liability for gross unrecognized tax benefits (excluding interest and penalties) totaled $1.9 million and $1.8 million, respectively. The Company had accrued interest and penalties relating to unrecognized tax benefits of $61,000 and $50,000 on a gross basis at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. The change in the liability for gross unrecognized tax benefits reflects an increase in reserves established for federal and state uncertain tax positions. The Company does not currently expect significant changes in the amount of unrecognized tax benefits during the next twelve months.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read together with the section titled “Financial Information” and our audited financial statements and related notes which are included in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements included in this discussion as a result of certain factors, including, but not limited to, those discussed in “Risk Factors” included in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Overview

Qumu Corporation ("Qumu", "Company" or "we") generates revenue through the sale of enterprise video content management software, hardware, maintenance and support, and professional and other services. Software sales may take the form of a

perpetual software license, a cloud-hosted software as a service (SaaS) or a term software license. Software licenses and appliances revenue includes sales of perpetual software licenses and hardware. Service revenue includes SaaS, term software licenses, maintenance and support, and professional and other services.

Impact of COVID-19

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of COVID-19 as a pandemic, which continues to be spread throughout the U.S. and the world. The COVID-19 pandemic has changed the businesses of Qumu’s customers and prospective customers in a number of ways. As part of these changes, enterprises of all sizes are implementing technology plans to virtualize customer meetings, employee communications and major events – as well as record and store video assets for on-demand viewing.

The factors that initially drove demand for Qumu's solutions in 2020 continue to impact the Company's business. Qumu expects to capture additional revenue opportunities presented by the widespread adoption and use of video in the enterprise. Widespread adoption and use of video in the enterprise is critical to our future growth and success. Qumu believes that the COVID-19 crisis is a tipping point for the use and acceptance of video as a primary communication channel within the enterprise. As video content and software to manage video content achieve high levels of acceptance within the enterprise, management believes this will drive demand and market adoption for Qumu’s video platform and tools, with product development, sales and marketing, and engineering resources increasingly focused on delivering cloud-based solutions over on-premises solutions, consistent with our strategic roadmap and customer preferences.

We expect that even as some businesses return to conducting some portion of their work in-person, many businesses will continue long-term remote and flexible work models including hybrid work in which video is a business-critical communication tool. We believe that enterprises are accelerating their cloud and technology plans to address the challenges and complexities of these mixed work environments. With more companies transitioning to either a complete remote or hybrid work environment, having employees working in different location at different times, we foresee enterprises leveraging large-scale synchronous and asynchronous video. However, these trends in distributed remote and hybrid work have had varying impacts on enterprise technology adoption and procurement timeframes due in part to uncertainty and lack of definitive decisions on when and if our customers' workforce may return to the office.

Additionally, the significantly higher than historic usage of Qumu’s cloud-based enterprise video solution that the Company experienced in 2020 continued into 2021. The dramatic increase is the result of Qumu’s Global 2000 customer base mobilizing to support thousands of concurrent video users, as they operate under travel restrictions and mandatory work-at-home policies due to COVID-19. The Company hosted 16.5 million viewers on Qumu Cloud during the second quarter, down 20% from the first quarter 2021 and down 31% from the second quarter 2020. Qumu anticipates these variable usage patterns will continue at least for the duration of widespread travel restrictions and mandatory work-at-home policies due to COVID-19, as well as generally following this period as customers increase their use of video as a primary communication channel in the enterprise.

Critical Accounting Policies

The discussion of the Company's financial condition and results of operations is based upon its financial statements, which are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or GAAP. The preparation of the Company's financial statements requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, costs and expenses and related disclosures. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its estimates and assumptions. Management bases its estimates of the carrying value of certain assets and liabilities on historical experience and on various other assumptions that management believes to be reasonable. The Company's actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Management utilizes its technical knowledge, cumulative business experience, judgment and other factors in the selection and application of the Company’s accounting policies. The accounting policies considered by management to be the most critical to the presentation of the condensed consolidated financial statements because they require the most difficult, subjective and complex judgments include revenue recognition, accounting for leases, and derivative liabilities for outstanding warrants. Our significant accounting policies applicable to the six months ended June 30, 2021 are discussed in Item 7. “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.

Revenues can vary period to period based on the type of contract the Company enters with each customer. The quarterly software licenses and appliances revenues are also subject to the timing of fulfillment of products, which can result in large fluctuations when compared to the prior quarters. The decrease in software license and appliances revenues in the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, compared to the corresponding 2020 periods, resulted as management placed less emphasis on pursuing perpetual license sales as part of the Company's accelerated implementation of its SaaS-focused strategic roadmap. The increase in subscription, maintenance and support revenues in the three months ended June 30, 2021, compared to the corresponding 2020 period, primarily resulted from on-premise to cloud conversions as well as incremental cloud customer expansions. The increase in subscription, maintenance and support revenues in the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared to the corresponding 2020 period, was primarily driven by on-premise to cloud conversions, incremental cloud customer expansion, new customers, and recurring revenue attributable to SaaS sales orders in recent quarters, including a large customer order received at the end of the first quarter 2020, which the customer identified as specifically driven by the change in working environment due to COVID-19.

Table of Contents

Professional services revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 grew 8% and 22%, respectively, compared to the corresponding 2020 periods, benefiting from professional services performed in the current quarter related to software and appliances sales in recent quarters.

For the quarter ended June 30, 2021, SaaS recurring revenue was approximately 49% of overall recurring revenue as compared to 46% for the quarter ended March 31, 2021. The improvement in SaaS recurring revenue as a percentage of recurring revenue is due to on-premise to cloud conversions, incremental cloud customer expansion and new customers.

Future consolidated revenues will be dependent upon many factors, including existing customer renewals, the rate of adoption of the Company's software solutions in its targeted markets, whether arrangements with customers are structured as a perpetual, term or SaaS licenses, which impacts the timing of revenue recognition and the success of our efforts to drive customer conversions from on-premises to cloud. As part of the Company’s long-term strategic roadmap, the Company is accelerating the evolution of its SaaS-based business model with a “cloud first” focus, which is expected to shift a greater proportion of revenue to SaaS licenses revenue, which is recognized over the term of the license. Qumu management currently anticipates SaaS recurring revenue to comprise approximately 60% of its overall recurring revenue mix by the end of 2022, with targeted growth to approximately 70% by the end of 2023. Other factors that will influence future consolidated revenues include the timing of customer orders and renewals, the product and service mix of customer orders, the impact of changes in economic conditions and the impact of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations.

The increase is due to a lower mix of appliance revenue, which generally carries lower margins, and an increase in higher-margin subscription revenue.

Gross profit includes $27,000 and $68,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and $54,000 and $140,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, for the amortization of intangible assets. Cost of revenues for the full year 2021 is expected to include approximately $0.1 million of amortization expense for purchased intangibles, compared to $0.3 million for the full year 2020. Included in cost of revenues are the costs related to the Company's service personnel, of which there were 24 and 22 at June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Future gross profit margins are expected to fluctuate quarter to quarter and will be impacted by the rate of growth and mix of the Company's product and service offerings, utilization of service personnel, fixed and variable royalty expense and/or amortization of intangibles, and foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations.

The decrease in expenses of $178,000 in the three months ended June 30, 2021, compared to the corresponding 2020 period, was primarily driven by $699,000 in transaction-related expenses related to the Company's merger agreement with Synacor, Inc. that was subsequently terminated, offset by increased costs of $83,000 for outside services and consulting associated with the continued implementation of the Company's strategic roadmap in 2021 and $102,000 in compensation costs and $252,000 in equity-compensation primarily associated with an increase in general and administrative personnel.

Management expects the Company will be able to maintain current operations and anticipated capital expenditure requirements for at least the next 12 months through its cash reserves and credit facility, as well as any cash flows that may be generated from current operations. Management also expects that the Company's financial resources will allow it to manage the anticipated impact of COVID-19 on its business operations for the foreseeable future, which could include delays in payments from customers and partners. Consequently, management will continue to evaluate its financial position in light of future developments, particularly those relating to COVID-19.

At June 30, 2021, the Company had aggregate working capital of $12.3 million, compared to negative working capital of $2.9 million at December 31, 2020. Working capital includes current deferred revenue of $10.4 million and $12.9 million at June 30,

Table of Contents

2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. The increase in working capital as of June 30, 2021, as compared to December 31, 2020, is primarily due to $23.1 million net proceeds from the public offering in the first quarter 2021.

Financing obligations as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 primarily consist of finance leases related to the acquisition of computer and network equipment. Operating lease liabilities consists of liabilities the Company is still contractually obligated to pay despite the surrender of the office leases. The note payable, a secured promissory note dated May 1, 2020, held by ESW Holdings, Inc., was non-interest bearing with a face amount of $1.83 million and maturing on April 1, 2021. On January 15, 2021, the Company received an advance of approximately $1.83 million from its Wells Fargo Bank line of credit entered into on January 15, 2021 and repaid the ESW Holdings note payable in full. The $1.83 million advance from Wells Fargo was subsequently repaid in the quarter ended March 31, 2021.

As of June 30, 2021, there were no amounts outstanding on the line of credit. For the quarter ending June 30, 2021, the Company was in compliance with the minimum recurring revenue and the minimum liquidity covenants.

The Company's primary source of cash from operating activities has been cash collections from sales of products and services to customers. The Company expects cash inflows from operating activities to be affected by increases or decreases in sales and timing of collections. The Company's primary use of cash for operating activities has been for personnel costs and outside service providers, payment of royalties associated with third-party software licenses and purchases of equipment to fulfill customer orders. The Company expects cash flows from operating activities to be affected by fluctuations in revenues, personnel costs and outside service providers as the Company continues to support the growth of the business. The amount of cash and cash equivalents held by the Company's international subsidiaries that is not available to fund domestic operations unless repatriated was $1.5 million as of June 30, 2021. The repatriation of cash and cash equivalents held by the Company's international subsidiaries would not result in an adverse tax impact on cash given that the future tax consequences of repatriation are expected to be insignificant.

Item 5. Other Information

On August 6, 2021, Qumu Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Qumu, Inc., entered into a First Amendment to that certain Loan and Security Agreement dated January 15, 2021 (the "Loan Agreement") with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (the "Lender") providing for an up to $10 million revolving line of credit, subject to the defined borrowing base. The First Amendment temporarily reduces the availability amount to $7.5 million until the Company's financial statements due for the quarter ending September 30, 2021 are received and reviewed by the Lender. The First Amendment also changed the definition of borrowing base to be initially four times monthly recurring revenue, but the multiple will be adjusted on a quarterly basis from and after the calendar quarter ending September 30, 2021. Thereafter, the borrowing base multiple will be four times if monthly recurring revenue declined from the preceding calendar quarter, five times if monthly recurring revenue increased up to 5% over the preceding calendar quarter, and six times if monthly recurring revenue increased at least 5% over the preceding calendar quarter. Further, the First Amendment modified the minimum liquidity covenant such that if the Company’s trailing three month cash burn (calculated as provided in the First Amendment) is negative, then the Company must have liquidity of not less than $5 million or an amount equal to six months of remaining months minimum liquidity and if the Company’s trailing three month cash burn is greater than or equal to zero dollars, then the Company must have liquidity of not less than $5 million. Finally, the First Amendment modified the Recurring Revenue covenant to require the following minimum Recurring Revenue for the remaining quarters in 2021 and in 2022: $4,500,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2021; $4,750,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 2021; $5,000,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2022; $5,500,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2022; $6,000,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2022; and $6,500,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 2022. The Company paid an amendment fee of $25,000 in connection with the First Amendment.
