QUMU CORPORATION
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 future 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, but are not limited to, CEO and executive town halls, self-service webcasting, sales enablement, training, employee onboarding, internal communications, product releases and training, regulatory compliance and customer engagement.
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, channel partners and independent distributors primarily in North America, Europe and Asia.
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, 2021.
Liquidity and Going Concern Considerations
At September 30, 2022, the Company's principal source of liquidity consists of cash and cash equivalents and potential availability under its revolving line of credit (the "SVB Agreement") with Silicon Valley Bank ("SVB"). As disclosed in the Company's consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021, management concluded that the Company's history of losses and its cash resources available to execute its business plan over the twelve months following the release of its audited financial statements raised substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. While management continues to execute the plans noted below, the execution of those plans has not yielded sufficient results for management to conclude that substantial doubt has been alleviated.
Management’s plans to address the doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern include positioning the targeted channel-led strategy for success through efforts to expand the number of high quality channel partners, educating channel partners on the Company’s platform, tools and differentiated features, and providing performance-based incentives to channel partners to accelerate customer deals, as well as continuous assessment of the sales pipeline to forecast SaaS revenue growth driven by new customer and expansion bookings sourced through the channel. Additionally, management will actively monitor eligible accounts for the purposes of the SVB Agreement borrowing base calculation and monitor doubtful accounts and write-offs of accounts receivable, which have historically been minimal. Management continues to manage costs to align with its operating plan. To the extent that increasing traction in the channel-led strategy is not realized, management may implement additional cost optimization plans to further align expenditures with the timing and amount of cash receipts from new sales and renewals of existing sales contracts. These cost optimization measures may include reductions in the Company's personnel, reduced utilization of contractors, and decreases in other discretionary spend.
9
The Company may also increase its cash resources by drawing on the SVB line of credit to the extent of any availability. To the extent the Company requires additional capital, it may seek capital by refinancing its existing line of credit, by obtaining other forms of debt financing, or from an offering of the Company's equity securities or a combination of these alternatives. If the Company experiences a significant shortfall in performance as compared to plan and also is unable to secure additional capital in a sufficient amount or on acceptable terms, management may be required to implement more significant cost reduction and other cash-focused measures to manage liquidity, and the Company may have to significantly delay, scale back, or cease operations, in part or in full.
As of September 30, 2022, management continues to execute on its plans to address the substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Regarding its channel-led strategy, the Company met its new logo growth targets for the first half of 2022. The Company continued to add new logos in the third quarter of 2022 with the rate of new logos in the third quarter falling short of the Company's internal plan. However, consistent with the Company's channel-led strategy, over 80% of the new logos were associated with channel partners for nine months ended September 30, 2022. Additionally, net cash used in operating activities improved to $1.4 million in the third quarter 2022, compared to $3.7 million in the second quarter 2022, $4.9 million in the first quarter 2022, $2.5 million in the fourth quarter 2021, and $3.3 million in the third quarter 2021. During the third quarter 2022, the Company drew an aggregate of $3.2 million on the line of credit, of which $1.2 million was outstanding as of September 30, 2022. As of September 30, 2022 and through the filing date of this Form 10-Q, management has not initiated new cost optimization or headcount reduction measures beyond those initially planned to alleviate substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Depending on new logo and bookings performance through channel partners and other factors affecting cash flow, management may consider new cost optimization or headcount reduction measures in order to extend the Company’s cash runway beyond the second quarter of 2023. To the extent the Company requires additional capital, it may seek capital by refinancing its existing line of credit, by obtaining other forms of debt financing, or from an offering of the Company's equity securities or a combination of these alternatives.
These condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis of accounting, which contemplates continuity of operations, realization of assets, and satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of the going concern uncertainty. If the Company cannot continue as a going concern, adjustments to the carrying values and classification of its assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of income and expenses could be required and could be material.
Employee Retention Credit
During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company completed its analysis of its eligibility for the Employee Retention Credit under the provisions of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”) for qualified wages paid during the second and third quarters of 2021. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company submitted for refunds of $623,000 and $1.3 million, respectively, and recorded the amounts as Other Income (Expense) on the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations and $1.3 million as Other Receivable on the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2022. The Company believes the relevant conditions of the Employee Retention Credit provision of the CARES Act have been met for the second quarter and third quarter 2021 reporting periods and that it will receive the credit, although there can be no assurance regarding timing of the receipt of the credit. Due to the uncertain timing of receipt, the Company is not including the CARES Act credit in assessing the sufficiency of its capital and liquidity resources to fund its operations. The Company expects to recognize additional amounts under the Employee Retention Credit in future reporting periods as it completes further analyses and submits for refunds for other historical quarters for which it determines the Company has eligible wages.
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
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 earnings per share 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. The Company adopted this standard effective January 1, 2022. The adoption of this standard did not materially impact the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In November 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-10, Government Assistance (Topic 832): Disclosures by Business Entities about Government Assistance. The objective of ASU 2021-10 is to increase the transparency of government assistance including the disclosure of the types of assistance, an entity’s accounting for the assistance, and the effect of the assistance on
10
an entity’s financial statements. ASU 2021-10 is effective for all entities for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2021. The Company adopted this standard effective January 1, 2022. The adoption of this standard did not materially impact the Company's financial statements disclosures.

Wells Fargo Credit Facility
On January 15, 2021, the Company entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (the “Wells Fargo line of credit”) with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association providing for a revolving line of credit. Pursuant to the Wells Fargo 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). On April 12, 2022, the Company repaid the $5.0 million outstanding balance on the revolving line and terminated its Loan and Security Agreement with Wells Fargo.
Silicon Valley Bank Credit Facility
On April 15, 2022, the Company entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (the “SVB Agreement”) with Silicon Valley Bank ("SVB") providing for a $7.5 million revolving line of credit. The maximum availability for borrowing under the SVB Agreement is the lesser of $7.5 million or the sum of a defined borrowing base of 85% of eligible accounts receivable plus a non-formula amount of $2.5 million. The non-formula amount will be eliminated from availability under the line of credit at the earlier of April 30, 2023 or the date on which the Company's net cash ("Net Cash") is less than $5.0 million. As of September 30, 2022, the non-formula amount was not available for borrowing as the Company's Net Cash was less than $5.0 million. The Company expects its availability under the SVB Agreement to be tightly correlated to customer renewals and new customers, which drive eligible accounts receivable. The maturity of the SVB Agreement is April 15, 2024. During the three months ended September 30, 2022, the Company drew an aggregate of $3.2 million on the line of credit, of which $1.2 million was outstanding as of September 30, 2022.
Any borrowings under the SVB Agreement bear interest, based on an interest rate that is dependent upon whether Net Cash is above or below $5.0 million. Net Cash is defined as (a) the Company's cash maintained with Silicon Valley Bank less (b) the outstanding line of credit balance. If Net Cash is greater than $5.0 million, then the interest rate is the "prime rate” as published in The Wall Street Journal ("WSJ") for the relevant period plus 1.50%. If cash liquidity is less than $5.0 million, then the interest rate is the WSJ prime rate plus 2.00%. The interest rate on the Company's line of credit borrowings was 8.25% as of September 30, 2022. The SVB Agreement contains certain reporting requirements, conditions, and covenants, including a covenant requiring the Company to maintain an adjusted quick ratio greater than or equal to 1.25 to 1.00. The adjusted quick ratio is the ratio of (a) unrestricted cash and cash equivalents in SVB deposit accounts or securities accounts plus net billed accounts receivable and (b) the sum of current liabilities less the current portion of deferred revenue. As of September 30, 2022, the Company was in compliance with its covenants.
Pursuant to the SVB Agreement, the Company granted a security interest in substantially all of its properties, rights and assets (including certain equity interests of the Company’s subsidiaries). The SVB Agreement contains customary events of default, upon the occurrence of which, the lender may accelerate repayment of any outstanding balance. Additionally, the line of credit
12
contains various provisions that limit our ability to, among other things, incur, create or assume certain indebtedness; create, incur or assume certain liens; make certain investments; make sales, transfers and dispositions of certain property; undergo certain fundamental changes, including certain mergers, liquidations and consolidations; purchase, hold or acquire certain investments; and declare or make certain dividends and distributions.
Contingencies
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 September 30, 2022, 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 of the warrants 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 condensed consolidated statement of operations as "decrease (increase) in fair value of warrant liability." The Company recorded non-cash income of $26,000 and $94,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and $143,000 and $1.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, resulting from the decrease in fair value of the warrant liability.
13
The Company has historically estimated the fair value of this liability using option pricing models that are based on the individual characteristics of the warrants on the valuation date, which include the Company’s stock price and assumptions for expected volatility, expected life and risk-free interest rate, as well as the present value of the minimum cash payment component of the instrument for the warrants, when applicable. During the three months ended June 30, 2022, the Company began estimating the fair value of the Hale warrant using a Monte Carlo simulation performed by a third-party valuation firm, as the Company considers the simulation to better capture the potential range of future cash flows, particularly cash flows from scenarios in which the minimum cash payment is triggered.
Changes in the assumptions used could have a material impact on the resulting fair value of each warrant. The primary inputs affecting the value of the warrant liability are the Company’s stock price and volatility in the Company’s stock price, as well as assumptions about the probability and timing of certain events, such as a change in control or future equity offerings. Increases in the fair value of the underlying stock or increases in the volatility of the stock price generally contribute to an increase in the fair value of the warrant liability; conversely, decreases in the fair value of the underlying stock or decreases in the volatility of the stock price generally contribute to a decrease in the fair value of the warrant liability.
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 September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 (in thousands):

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 both warrants, and generally correspondingly increases or decreases, respectively, the present value of the minimum cash payment component of the Hale warrant. Consequently, as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the liability related to each warrant was classified as a Level 3 warrant liability.
The following table represents the significant unobservable input used in the fair value measurement of Level 3 warrant liability instruments:

Contract Balances
The Company’s balances for contract assets totaled $223,000 and $446,000 as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. The Company’s balances for contract liabilities, which are included in deferred revenue, totaled $10.9 million and $12.4 million as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.
During the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company recognized $3.8 million and $4.3 million, respectively, of revenue that was included in the deferred revenue balance at the beginning of each respective period. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company recognized $10.4 million and $10.9 million, respectively, of revenue that was included in the deferred revenue balance at the beginning of 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 $23.1 million as of September 30, 2022, of which the Company expects to recognize $11.6 million of revenue over the next 12 months and the remainder thereafter. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, no revenue was recognized from performance obligations satisfied in previous periods.
(6) Stock-Based Compensation

(7) Income Taxes
As of both September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company’s liability for gross unrecognized tax benefits (excluding interest and penalties) totaled $1.9 million. The Company had accrued interest and penalties relating to unrecognized tax benefits of $89,000 and $72,000 on a gross basis at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, 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 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 and Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended June 30, 2022.
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 services. Software sales may take the form of a cloud-hosted software as a service (SaaS) license, recurring term software license or perpetual software license. Software licenses and appliances revenue includes sales of perpetual software licenses, recurring term software licenses and hardware. Service revenue includes SaaS subscriptions and support, maintenance and support, and professional services.
Impact of COVID-19
Qumu expects to capture 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 plan 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 locations 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. Continued challenges affecting our customers, such as the tight labor market and budget constraints in response to global economic changes such as increasing interest rates and other recessionary factors, may also create additional uncertainty in customer enterprise technology adoption and procurement timeframes. This uncertainty in the timing and extent of transition to video in the enterprise contributes to our currently limited visibility to our sales pipeline and creates additional challenges in forecasting timing and extent of customer sales in any particular quarter. Qumu believes the increase in hybrid and remote work due to COVID-19 is going to remain permanent for many enterprises, driving a large amount of future usage in the cloud.
Critical Accounting Estimates and Significant Accounting Policies

Revenues can vary period to period based on the type of contract the Company enters into with each customer. The decrease in total revenue of $954,000 and $2.6 million, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, compared to the corresponding 2021 periods, was primarily driven by the Company’s accelerated shift to a SaaS-first revenue model initiated in late 2020 and the expected end of certain on-premise customer relationships, primarily impacting maintenance and support revenue. The increase in subscription and support revenues of $150,000, or 6%, and $845,000, or 11%, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, compared to the corresponding 2021 periods, was due to on-premise to cloud conversions, incremental cloud customer expansion, new customers, and recurring revenue attributable to SaaS sales orders in recent quarters. The decrease in maintenance and support revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 was primarily due to the expected end of certain on-premise customer relationships. The 21% and 41% decrease in
18
professional services revenues for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, compared to the corresponding 2021 periods, was related lower beginning of period backlog and lower utilization of personnel on billable projects in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022.
For the three months ended September 30, 2022, SaaS recurring revenue, which is comprised of subscription and support revenue, was approximately 63% of overall recurring revenue, which is comprised of total subscription, maintenance and support revenue, as compared to 52% for the three months ended September 30, 2021. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, SaaS recurring revenue was approximately 61% of overall recurring revenue, as compared to 49% for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The improvement in SaaS recurring revenue as a percentage of total recurring revenue is due to higher SaaS recurring revenue resulting from new cloud customers, incremental cloud customer expansion, and customer on-premise to cloud conversions consistent with the Company’s implementation of its SaaS-first strategic plan, as well as to lower overall recurring revenue due to the expected end of certain on-premise customer relationships.
Future consolidated revenues will be dependent upon many factors, including the rate of adoption of the Company’s software solutions in its targeted markets and whether arrangements with customers are structured as a perpetual, term or SaaS licenses, which impacts the timing of revenue recognition. Qumu's management currently anticipates SaaS recurring revenue to comprise approximately 65% of its overall recurring revenue mix by the end of 2022, with targeted growth to approximately 75% 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.

Total gross margin was 77.5% and 76.0% for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and 74.9% and 74.3% for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Services margin improved 2.0% in the three months ended September 30, 2022 due to improved professional services utilization and margin and improved 0.4% in the nine months ended September 30, 2022 due to a change in revenue mix. Software licenses and appliances margins are expected to fluctuate as the Company is not strategically focused on software licenses and appliances deals.
Included in cost of revenues are the costs related to the third-party managed hosting services and costs related to the Company’s service personnel, of which there were 20 and 22 at September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Gross profit for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 includes $26,000 and $80,000, respectively, for the amortization of intangible assets. No amortization expense is included in cost of revenues for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, as intangible assets related to cost of revenues were fully amortized in 2021.
Future gross profit margins will fluctuate quarter to quarter and will be impacted by the Company’s continued expansion into new market opportunities as well as the utilization of personnel on billable projects, the rate of growth and mix of the Company’s product and service offerings, and foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations.

Sales and marketing expenses decreased $2.1 million and $5.2 million in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, compared to the corresponding 2021 periods, as the 2021 periods included outside services and consulting expenses associated with the continued implementation of the Company’s strategic plan, which included costs the Company incurred honing its updated sales enablement and messaging, launching new products and expanding its go-to-market motions. Reduction of sales and marketing expenses in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 is also attributable to the targeted channel-led strategy. Also contributing to the decrease in sales and marketing expense was a decrease in compensation costs of $1.5 million and $3.0 million in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, compared to the corresponding 2021 periods.

General and administrative expenses increased $109,000 and $134,000 in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, compared to the corresponding 2021 periods. The increase for the three months ended September 30, 2022 was primarily driven by higher outside services and consulting costs resulting from higher utilization of finance contractors and consultants, partially offset by lower compensation and employee-related costs due to fewer general and administrative personnel. The increase for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was primarily due to increased costs for outside services and consulting associated with execution of the Company’s strategic plan and higher utilization of finance contractors and consultants. This increase was largely offset by a decrease in equity compensation costs resulting from equity award forfeitures related to the departure of the Company's prior chief executive officer during the three months ended June 30, 2022.

Going concern considerations
At September 30, 2022, the Company's principal source of liquidity consists of cash and cash equivalents and potential availability under its revolving line of credit with Silicon Valley Bank ("SVB Agreement"). As disclosed in the Company's consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021, management concluded that the Company's history of losses and its cash resources available to execute its business plan over the twelve months following the release of its audited financial statements raised substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. While management continues to execute the plans noted below, the execution of those plans has not yielded sufficient results for management to conclude that substantial doubt has been alleviated.
22
Management’s plans to address the doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern include positioning the targeted channel-led strategy for success through efforts to expand the number of high quality channel partners, educating channel partners on the Company’s platform, tools and differentiated features, and providing performance-based incentives to channel partners to accelerate customer deals, as well as continuous assessment of the sales pipeline to forecast SaaS revenue growth driven by new customer and expansion bookings sourced through the channel. Additionally, management will actively monitor eligible accounts for the purposes of the SVB Agreement borrowing base calculation and monitor doubtful accounts and write-offs of accounts receivable, which have historically been minimal. Management continues to manage costs to align with its operating plan. To the extent that increasing traction in the channel-led strategy is not realized, management may implement additional cost optimization plans to further align expenditures with the timing and amount of cash receipts from new sales and renewals of existing sales contracts. These cost optimization measures may include reductions in the Company's personnel, reduced utilization of contractors, and decreases in other discretionary spend.
The Company may also increase its cash resources by drawing on the SVB line of credit to the extent of any availability. To the extent the Company requires additional capital, it may seek capital by refinancing its existing line of credit, by obtaining other forms of debt financing, or from an offering of the Company's equity securities or a combination of these alternatives. If the Company experiences a significant shortfall in performance as compared to plan and also is unable to secure additional capital in a sufficient amount or on acceptable terms, management may be required to implement more significant cost reduction and other cash-focused measures to manage liquidity and the Company may have to significantly delay, scale back, or cease operations, in part or in full.
As of September 30, 2022, management continues to execute on its plans to address the substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Regarding its channel-led strategy, the Company met its new logo growth targets for the first half of 2022. The Company continued to add new logos in the third quarter of 2022 with the rate of new logos in the third quarter falling short of the Company's internal plan. However, consistent with the Company's channel-led strategy, over 80% of the new logos were associated with channel partners for nine months ended September 30, 2022. Additionally, net cash used in operating activities improved to $1.4 million in the third quarter 2022, compared to $3.7 million in the second quarter 2022, $4.9 million in the first quarter 2022, $2.5 million in the fourth quarter 2021, and $3.3 million in the third quarter 2021. During the third quarter 2022, the Company drew an aggregate of $3.2 million on the line of credit, of which $1.2 million was outstanding as of September 30, 2022. As of September 30, 2022 and through the filing date of this Form 10-Q, management has not initiated new cost optimization or headcount reduction measures beyond those initially planned to alleviate substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Depending on new logo and bookings performance through channel partners and other factors affecting cash flow, management may consider new cost optimization or headcount reduction measures in order to extend the Company’s cash runway beyond the second quarter of 2023. To the extent the Company requires additional capital, it may seek capital by refinancing its existing line of credit, by obtaining other forms of debt financing, or from an offering of the Company's equity securities or a combination of these alternatives.
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis of accounting, which contemplates continuity of operations, realization of assets, and satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of the going concern uncertainty. If the Company cannot continue as a going concern, adjustments to the carrying values and classification of its assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of income and expenses could be required and could be material.
Cash and cash equivalents
The Company's primary sources of cash and cash equivalents during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 were cash generated from operations and borrowings on its line of credit. The Company’s cash generated from operations has been cash collections from sales of products and services to customers. The Company expects cash inflows from operations to be affected by increases or decreases in sales and timing of collections.
The Company’s primary use of cash has been for personnel costs and outside service providers, including third-party managed hosting services. The Company expects its use of cash to be affected by fluctuations in revenues, personnel costs and outside service providers as the Company continues to support the growth of the business, which is expected to be positively impacted in the future by the Company’s cost-optimization program. The Company additionally expects to remit in the fourth quarter of 2022 approximately $160,000 of payroll tax withholdings deferred under the provisions of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the "CARES Act").
The amount of cash and cash equivalents held by the Company’s international subsidiaries that is available to fund domestic operations upon repatriation was $488,000 as of September 30, 2022. The repatriation of cash and cash equivalents held by the
23
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.
Working capital
At September 30, 2022, the Company had aggregate negative working capital of $2.2 million, compared to positive working capital of $5.2 million at December 31, 2021. Working capital includes current deferred revenue of $9.8 million and $10.9 million at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. The decrease in working capital as of September 30, 2022, as compared to December 31, 2021, is primarily due to cash used to fund the Company's operations during the nine months ended September 30, 2022.
Line of credit, other financing obligations and operating lease liabilities
As of December 31, 2021, the Company maintained an outstanding principal balance on its revolving line of $5.0 million with Wells Fargo and was in compliance with its covenants. On April 12, 2022, the Company repaid the outstanding balance on the revolving line and terminated its Loan and Security Agreement with Wells Fargo. On April 15, 2022, the Company entered into a Loan and Security Agreement with Silicon Valley Bank providing for a $7.5 million revolving line of credit. During the three months ended September 30, 2022, the Company drew an aggregate of $3.2 million on the SVB line of credit, of which $1.2 million was outstanding as of September 30, 2022.
Financing obligations as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 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.

Operating activities
Operating activities used net cash of $10.0 million and $14.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The operating cash flows for the 2022 period were impacted by expenditures associated with the Company’s strategic plan, the net loss and the decrease in deferred revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The decrease in cash used in operating activities was the result of the Company's cost-optimization program to reduce the Company’s cash burn rate.
Investing activities
Net cash used in investing activities for the purchases of property and equipment totaled $10,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to $216,000 in the corresponding 2021 period.
Financing activities
Financing activities used net cash of $4.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and provided net cash of $21.4 million in the comparable 2021 period. Primarily impacting the current period change in cash were principal payments on the Company’s line of credit, finance leases and financing obligations. Primarily impacting the prior period change in cash were the net proceeds from the public offering of the Company’s common stock of $23.1 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2021, offset for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 by principal payments on the Company’s note payable, line of credit, finance leases and other financing obligations.

Other Factors Affecting Liquidity and Capital Resources
Silicon Valley Bank Credit Facility
On April 15, 2022, the Company entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (the “SVB Agreement”) with Silicon Valley Bank ("SVB") providing for a $7.5 million revolving line of credit. The maximum availability for borrowing under the SVB Agreement is the lesser of $7.5 million or the sum of a defined borrowing base of 85% of eligible accounts receivable plus a non-formula amount of $2.5 million. The non-formula amount will be eliminated from availability under the line of credit at the earlier of April 30, 2023 or the date on which the Company's net cash ("Net Cash") is less than $5.0 million. As of September 30, 2022, the non-formula amount was not available for borrowing as the Company's Net Cash was less than $5.0 million. The Company expects its availability under the SVB Agreement to be tightly correlated to customer renewals and new customers, which drive eligible accounts receivable. The maturity of the SVB Agreement is April 15, 2024. During the three months ended September 30, 2022, the Company drew an aggregate of $3.2 million on the line of credit, of which $1.2 million was outstanding as of September 30, 2022.
Any borrowings under the SVB Agreement bear interest, based on an interest rate that is dependent upon whether Net Cash is above or below $5.0 million. Net Cash is defined as (a) the Company's cash maintained with Silicon Valley Bank less (b) the outstanding line of credit balance. If Net Cash is greater than $5.0 million, then the interest rate is the "prime rate” as published in The Wall Street Journal ("WSJ") for the relevant period plus 1.50%. If cash liquidity is less than $5.0 million, then the interest rate is the WSJ prime rate plus 2.00%. The interest rate on the Company's line of credit borrowings was 8.25% as of September 30, 2022. The SVB Agreement contains certain reporting requirements, conditions, and covenants, including a covenant requiring the Company to maintain an adjusted quick ratio greater than or equal to 1.25 to 1.00. The adjusted quick ratio is the ratio of (a) unrestricted cash and cash equivalents in SVB deposit accounts or securities accounts plus net billed accounts receivable and (b) the sum of current liabilities less the current portion of deferred revenue. As of September 30, 2022, the Company was in compliance with its covenants.
Employee Retention Credit
During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company completed its analysis of its eligibility for the Employee Retention Credit under the provisions of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”) for qualified wages paid during the second and third quarters of 2021. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company submitted for refunds of $623,000 and $1.3 million, respectively, and recorded the amounts as Other Income (Expense) on the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations and $1.3 million as Other Receivable on the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2022. The Company believes the relevant conditions of the Employee Retention Credit provision of the CARES Act have been met for the second quarter and third quarter 2021 reporting periods and that it will receive the credit, although there can be no assurance regarding timing of the receipt of the credit. Due to the uncertain timing of receipt, the Company is not including the CARES Act credit in assessing the sufficiency of its capital and liquidity resources to fund its operations. The Company expects to recognize additional amounts under the Employee Retention Credit in future reporting periods as it completes further analyses and submits for refunds for other historical quarters for which it determines the Company has eligible wages.
Stock repurchase program
In October 2010, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a common stock repurchase program of up to 3,500,000 shares if permitted by our line of credit agreement with Silicon Valley Bank. Shares may be purchased at prevailing market prices in the open market or in private transactions, subject to market conditions, share price, trading volume and other factors. The repurchase program has been funded to date using cash on hand and may be discontinued at any time. The Company did not repurchase any shares of its common stock under the repurchase program during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021. As of September 30, 2022, the Company had 778,365 shares available for repurchase under the authorizations. While the current authorization remains in effect, the Company expects its primary use of cash will be to fund operations in support of the Company’s goals for revenue growth and operating margin improvement associated with the Company’s transition to a SaaS-first company.

Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, the following, as well as other factors not now identified: we may not be successful at implementing our long-term strategic plan; our history of losses and our cash resources available to execute our business plan over the next twelve months raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern; competition for highly skilled personnel is intense and if we fail to attract and retain talented employees, we may fail to compete effectively; if we are unable to attract new customers, retain existing customers and sell additional products and services to our existing and new customers, our revenue growth and profitability will be adversely affected; we may need additional capital to support the execution of our strategic plan or to fund operations and any additional capital we seek may not be available in the amount or at the time we need it; while we are investing heavily in sales, marketing and research and development to enhance revenue growth and become cash flow positive, we may not achieve those goals or achieve or sustain cash flows or profitability in the future; the markets for video content and software to manage video content are each in early stages of development, and if these markets do not develop or develop more slowly than we expect, including as a result of COVID-19 impacts, our revenues may decline or fail to grow; we encounter long sales cycles with our Qumu enterprise video solutions, which could adversely affect our operating results in a given period; we are subject to financial and other covenants related to our debt financing and if we fail to meet such covenants, it could have a material adverse impact on our business; to compete effectively, we must continually improve existing products and introduce new products that achieve market acceptance; we face intense competition and such competition may result in price reductions, lower gross profits and loss of market share; economic and market conditions, particularly those affecting our customers, have harmed and may continue to harm our business; our sales will decline, and our business will be materially harmed, if our sales and marketing efforts are not effective; we sell a significant portion of our products internationally, which exposes us to risks associated with international operations; the COVID-19 pandemic has significantly impacted worldwide business practices and economic conditions and could have a material effect on Qumu’s business, financial condition and operating results; our enterprise video content management software products must be successfully integrated into our customers’ information technology environments and workflows and changes to these environments, workflows or unforeseen combinations of technologies may harm our customers’ experience in using our software products; the growth and functionality of our enterprise video content management software products depend upon the solution’s effective operation with mobile operating systems and computer networks; computer malware, viruses, hacking, phishing attacks, spamming, and other cyber-threats could harm our business and cause customers to lose confidence in us and our products, which could significantly impact our business and results of operations; expanding laws, regulations and customer requirements relating to data security and privacy may adversely affect sales of our products and result in increased compliance costs; any failure of major elements of our products could lead to significant disruptions in the ability to serve customers, which could damage our reputation, reduce our revenues or otherwise harm our business; if we are unable to maintain compliance with Nasdaq’s listing requirements, our common stock may be delisted from The Nasdaq Stock Market, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition and could make it more difficult for holders of the Company’s common stock to sell their shares; if we lose access to third-party licenses, our software product development and production may be delayed or we may incur additional expense to modify our products or products in development; if the limited amount of open source software that is incorporated into our products were to become unavailable or if we violate the terms of open source licenses, it could adversely affect sales of our products, which could disrupt our business and harm our financial results; if our domestic or international intellectual property rights are not adequately protected, others may offer products similar to ours or independently develop the same or similar technologies or otherwise obtain access to our technology and trade secrets which could depress our product selling prices and gross profit or result in loss of market share; changes in laws and regulations related to the Internet or changes in the Internet infrastructure itself may diminish the demand for our products, and could have a negative impact on our business; we may experience significant quarterly and annual fluctuations in our results of operations due to a number of factors and these fluctuations may negatively impact the market price of our common stock; the limited liquidity for our common stock could affect your ability to sell your shares at a satisfactory price; and provisions of Minnesota law, our bylaws and other agreements may deter a change of control of our company and may have a possible negative effect on our stock price.
