NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
1.
BASIS
OF PRESENTATION
The
accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements
have been prepared in accordance with the generally accepted
accounting principles for interim financial statements and
instructions for Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all of
the information and footnotes required by generally accepted
accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the
opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting only of normal
recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation,
have been included. Operating results for any quarter are not
necessarily indicative of the results for any other quarter or for
a full year. In connection with the preparation of the condensed
consolidated financial statements the Company evaluated subsequent
events after the balance sheet date of March 31, 2020 through the
filing of this report.
As of
March 31, 2020, the Company has a working capital deficit of
$605,381. Our current liabilities include deferred revenue of
$587,013. The costs expected to be incurred to realize the deferred
revenue in the next 12 months are minimal.
The
Company has a plan in place for the next 12 months to ensure
ongoing expenditures are balanced with the expected growth rate and
believes cash on hand and cash generated will be sufficient to fund
operations for the next 12 months. However, to implement our
business plan may require additional financing. Additional
financings may come from future equity or debt offerings that could
result in dilution to our stockholders. No assurance can be given
that additional financing will be available or that, if it is
available, it will be on terms acceptable to us.
These
financial statements should be read in conjunction with our
financial statements and the notes thereto for the fiscal year
ended December 31, 2019 contained in our Form 10-K filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission dated March 27,
2020.
Risks and Uncertainties
We are
closely monitoring the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on all
aspects of our business, including how it will impact team members,
customers, suppliers, and global markets. Given the dynamic nature
of these circumstances, the full impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on
our ongoing business, results of operations, and overall future
financial performance cannot be reasonably estimated at this time.
While our licensed-based revenue is generally more recurring in
nature, the uncertainty caused by the COVID-19 pandemic could lead
clients to delay purchasing decisions or product and service
implementations or may cause them to cancel or reduce spending with
us.
2.
SIGNIFICANT
ACCOUNTING POLICIES
a) Nature of operations
We are
a software developer and distributor of financial market data and
related services to a global marketplace. We specialize in the
collection, aggregation, and delivery of both delayed and real-time
financial data content via the Internet. We develop and license
software components that deliver dynamic content to banks,
brokerage firms, financial institutions, mutual fund companies,
online information and financial portals, media outlets, public
companies, and corporate intranets.
b) Basis of consolidation
The
consolidated financial statements include the operations of
QuoteMedia, Ltd., a wholly owned subsidiary of QuoteMedia, Inc. All
intercompany transactions and balances have been
eliminated.
c) Foreign currency translation and transactions
The
U.S. dollar is the functional currency of all our company's
operations. Foreign currency asset and liability amounts are
remeasured into U.S. dollars at end-of-period exchange rates,
except for equipment and intangible assets, which are remeasured at
historical rates. Foreign currency income and expenses are
remeasured at average exchange rates in effect during the period,
except for expenses related to balance sheet amounts remeasured at
historical exchange rates. Exchange gains and losses arising from
remeasurement of foreign currency-denominated monetary assets and
liabilities are included in earnings in the period in which they
occur.
d) Allowances for doubtful accounts
We
maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses
resulting from the inability of the Company’s customers to
make required payments. The Company determines the allowance by
reviewing the age of the receivables and assessing the anticipated
ability of customers to pay. No collateral is required for any of
the receivables and the Company does not usually apply financing
charges to outstanding accounts receivable balances. If the
financial condition of our customers were to deteriorate, adversely
affecting their ability to make payments, additional allowances
would be required. The allowance for doubtful accounts was $100,000
and $80,000 as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019,
respectively. Bad debt expense was $70,931 and ($4,055) for the
three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019,
respectively.

e) Accounting Pronouncements
Recently Adopted
In January 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
(“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update
(“ASU”) 2017-04, Intangibles - Goodwill and
Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill
Impairment. This ASU simplifies
the accounting for goodwill by eliminating step 2 from the goodwill
impairment test. Under the new ASU, if the carrying amount of a
reporting unit exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss will be
recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds its
fair value. The Company adopted the new standard on January 1,
2020. There was no impact upon adoption to our consolidated
financial statements and related disclosures.
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic
820), which removes, modifies
and adds various disclosure requirements around the topic in order
to clarify and improve the cost-benefit nature of disclosures. For
example, disclosures around transfers between fair value hierarchy
Levels will be removed and further detail around changes in
unrealized gains and losses for the period and unobservable inputs
determining Level 3 fair value measurements will be added. The
Company adopted the new standard on January 1, 2020. There was no
impact upon adoption to our consolidated financial statements and
related disclosures.
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, Intangibles - Goodwill and
Other - Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer's
Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing
Arrangement That is a Service Contract, which requires a customer in a cloud computing
arrangement that is a service contract to follow the internal-use
software guidance in Topic 350, "Intangibles - Goodwill and
Other" to determine which
implementation costs to capitalize as assets or expense as
incurred. The Company adopted the new standard on January 1, 2020.
There was no impact upon adoption to our consolidated financial
statements and related disclosures.
Not Yet Adopted
Other
accounting standards that have been issued by the FASB or other
standards-setting bodies that do not require adoption until a
future date are not expected to have a material impact on the
Company’s consolidated financial statements upon
adoption.

LEASES
We have
operating leases for corporate offices and finance leases for
certain equipment. Our leases have remaining lease terms of 1 year
to 5 years. We determine if an
arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating lease assets and
liabilities are included in operating lease right-of-use assets and
operating lease liabilities, respectively, on our consolidated
balance sheets. Finance lease assets and liabilities are included
in property and equipment and finance lease liabilities,
respectively, on our consolidated balance
sheets.
Operating
lease right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities are
recognized based on the present value of the future minimum lease
payments over the lease term at commencement date. As most of our
leases do not provide an implicit rate, we use our incremental
borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement
date in determining the present value of future payments. We
elected the short-term lease exception and therefore only recognize
right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for leases with a term
greater than one year. When determining lease terms, we factor in
options to extend or terminate leases when it is reasonably certain
that we will exercise that option. We have lease agreements with
lease and non-lease components, which are generally accounted for
separately. For certain leases we
account for the lease and non-lease components as a single lease
component.

STOCKHOLDERS’
DEFICIT
a) Preferred shares
We are
authorized to issue up to 10,000,000 non-designated preferred
shares at the Board of Directors’ discretion.
On
December 28, 2017, a total of 550,000 shares of the Company’s
Preferred Stock were designated as “Series A Redeemable
Convertible Preferred Stock.” The Series A Redeemable
Convertible Preferred Stock has no dividend or voting
rights.
At
March 31, 2020, 123,685 shares of Series A Redeemable Convertible
Preferred Stock were outstanding. No shares of Series A Redeemable
Convertible Preferred Stock were issued or redeemed during the
three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019.
Redemption Rights
Holders
of Series A Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock shall have the
right to convert their shares into shares of common stock at the
rate of 83.33 shares of common stock for one share of Series A
Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock, at any time following the
date the closing price of a share of common stock on a securities
exchange or actively traded over-the-counter market has exceeded
$0.30 for ninety (90) consecutive trading days. The conversion
rights are subject to the availability of authorized but unissued
shares of common stock.
In
addition, a limited amount of Series A Redeemable Convertible
Preferred Stock may be redeemed at the holder’s option if the
following criteria are met:
10
QUOTEMEDIA, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
(i)
If the cash balance
of the Company as reported at the end of each fiscal quarter in
2018 exceeds $350,000, up to an aggregate of 600 Series A
Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock may be redeemed at the
liquidation value of $25 per share.
(ii)
If the cash balance
of the Company as reported at the end of each fiscal quarter in
2019 exceeds $375,000, up to an aggregate of 800 Series A
Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock may be redeemed at the
liquidation value of $25 per share.
(iii)
If the cash balance
of the Company as reported at the end of each fiscal quarter in
2020 and in subsequent years exceeds $400,000, up to an aggregate
of 1,000 Series A Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock may be
redeemed at the liquidation value of $25 per share.
In
accordance with ASC 480-10-S99, because a limited amount of Series
A Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock may be redeemed at the
holder’s option if the above criteria are met, it was
classified as mezzanine equity and not permanent
equity.
In the
event of any liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of the
Company, whether voluntary or involuntary, before any distribution
or payment is made to any holders of any shares of common stock,
the holders of shares of Series A Redeemable Convertible Preferred
Stock shall be entitled to be paid first out of the assets of the
Corporation available for distribution to holders of the
Company’s capital stock whether such assets are capital,
surplus, or earnings, an amount equal to $25.00 per share of Series
A Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock.
b) Common stock
No
shares of common stock were issued during the three months ended
March 31, 2020 and 2019.
c) Stock Options and Warrants
FASB
ASC 718, Stock
Compensation, requires all share-based payments to
employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be
recognized as compensation expense over the service period
(generally the vesting period) in the consolidated financial
statements based on their fair values. The impact of forfeitures
that may occur prior to vesting is also estimated and considered in
the amount recognized.
Total
stock-based compensation expense, related to all of the
Company’s stock-based awards, recognized for the three months
ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 was comprised as

At
March 31, 2020, there was $69,150 of unrecognized compensation cost
related to non-vested options and warrants granted to purchase
common stock which is expected to be recognized over a
weighted-average period of 2.4 years.
All
stock options and warrants to purchase common stock have been
granted with exercise prices equal to or greater than the market
value of the underlying common shares on the date of
grant. At March 31,
2020, the aggregate intrinsic value of options and warrants
outstanding was $1,124,513. The aggregate intrinsic value of
options and warrants exercisable was $1,046,763. The intrinsic
value of stock options and warrants are calculated as the amount by
which the market price of our common stock exceeds the exercise
price of the option or warrant.
Preferred Stock Warrants
On
December 28, 2017, the Company entered into a Compensation
Agreement with David M. Shworan, the President and Chief Executive
Officer of QuoteMedia, Ltd., a wholly owned subsidiary of
Quotemedia, Inc., pursuant to which, in lieu of receiving a cash
salary the Company will issue to Mr. Shworan warrants to purchase
shares of Series A Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock
(“Compensation Preferred Stock Warrants”). Provided
that Mr. Shworan is employed by or otherwise providing services to
the Company or its subsidiaries on each of January 1, 2018 and
2019, the Company will issue to Mr. Shworan warrants to purchase up
to 15,000 shares of Compensation Preferred Stock Warrants at an
exercise price equal to $1.00 per share. A total of $90,000 of
stock-based compensation expense was recognized related to the
Compensation Preferred Stock Warrants during the three months ended
March 31, 2019.
Also
pursuant to the Compensation Agreement with Mr. Shworan, on
December 28, 2017 the Company issued Mr. Shworan warrants to
purchase up to 382,243 shares of Series A Redeemable Convertible
Preferred Stock at an exercise price equal to $1.00 per share
(“Liquidity Preferred Stock Warrant”). The Liquidity
Preferred Stock Warrants only vest and become exercisable on the
consummation of a Liquidity Event as defined in the Company’s
Certificate of Designation of Series A Redeemable Convertible
Preferred Stock. The probability of the liquidity event performance
condition is not currently determinable or probable; therefore, no
compensation expense has been recognized as of March 31, 2020. The
probability is re-evaluated each reporting period. As of March 31,
2020, there was $9,173,832 in unrecognized stock-based compensation
expense related to these Liquidity Preferred Stock Warrants. Since
the Liquidity Preferred Stock Warrants only vest and become
exercisable on the consummation of a Liquidity Event which is
currently determined not to be probable, we are also unable to
determine the weighted-average period over which the unrecognized
compensation cost will be recognized.
As of
March 31, 2020, there were a total of 413,493 preferred stock
warrants outstanding with a weighted average remaining contractual
life of 28 years. As of March 31, 2020, 31,250 preferred stock
warrants were exercisable. No preferred stock warrants were
exercised for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and
2019.

EARNINGS
PER SHARE
Basic net income per share is computed by dividing net income
during the period by the weighted-average
number of common shares outstanding, excluding the dilutive effects
of common stock equivalents. Common stock equivalents include
redeemable convertible preferred stock, stock options and warrants.
Diluted net income per share is computed by dividing net income by
the weighted-average number of dilutive common shares outstanding
during the period. Diluted shares outstanding is calculated using
the treasury stock method by adding to the weighted shares
outstanding any potential shares of common stock from outstanding
redeemable convertible preferred stock, stock options and warrants
that are in-the-money. In periods when a net loss is reported, all
common stock equivalents are excluded from the calculation because
they would have an anti-dilutive effect, meaning the loss per share
would be reduced. Therefore, in periods when a loss is reported,
the calculation of basic and dilutive loss per share results in the
same value. The
calculations for basic and diluted net income per share for the
three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 are as
follows:

SUBSEQUENT
EVENTS
On May
4, 2020, the Company received loan proceeds in the amount of
$133,257 under the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”).
The PPP, established as part of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and
Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”), provides for loans
to qualifying businesses for amounts up to 2.5 times of the average
monthly payroll expenses of the qualifying business. The loans and
accrued interest are forgivable after eight weeks as long as the
borrower uses the loan proceeds for eligible purposes, including
payroll, benefits, rent and utilities, and maintains its payroll
levels. The amount of loan forgiveness will be reduced if the
borrower terminates employees or reduces salaries during the
eight-week period.
The
unforgiven portion of the PPP loan is payable over two years at an
interest rate of 1%, with a deferral of payments for the first six
months. The Company intends to use the proceeds for purposes
consistent with the PPP. While the Company currently believes that
its use of the loan proceeds will meet the conditions for
forgiveness of the loan, circumstances could arise causing the
Company to be ineligible for forgiveness of the loan, in whole or
in part. The Company received $8,000 as part of the Economic Injury
Disaster Loan (“EIDL”) emergency advance through the
Small Business Administration (“SBA”), which will be
deducted from the forgivable portion of the PPP loan proceeds. The
Company has not entered into an EIDL with the SBA at the time of
filing.

ITEM 2. Management’s Discussion
and Analysis
The
following discussion should be read in conjunction with our
financial statements and notes thereto included elsewhere in this
report. We caution readers regarding certain forward looking
statements in the following discussion, elsewhere in this report,
and in any other statements, made by, or on behalf of our company,
whether or not in future filings with the Securities and Exchange
Commission. Forward-looking statements are statements not based on
historical information and which relate to future operations,
strategies, financial results, or other developments.
Forward-looking statements are necessarily based upon estimates and
assumptions that are inherently subject to significant business,
economic, and competitive uncertainties and contingencies, many of
which are beyond our control and many of which, with respect to
future business decisions, are subject to change. These
uncertainties and contingencies can affect actual results and could
cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in
any forward looking statements made by, or on behalf of, our
company. Uncertainties and contingencies that might cause such
differences include those risk factors disclosed in our annual
report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 and other
reports filed from time to time with the SEC.
We
disclaim any obligation to update forward-looking statements. All
references to “we”, “our”,
“us”, or “QuoteMedia” refer to QuoteMedia,
Inc., and its predecessors, operating divisions, and
subsidiaries.
This
report should be read in conjunction with our Form 10-K for the
fiscal year ended December 31, 2019 filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission.
Overview
We are
a developer of financial software and a distributor of market data
and research information to online brokerages, clearing firms,
banks, media properties, public companies and financial service
corporations worldwide. Through the aggregation of information from
many direct data, news, and research sources, we offer a
comprehensive range of solutions for all market-related information
provisioning requirements.
We have
three general product lines: Interactive Content and Data
Applications, Data Feed Services, and Portfolio Management Systems.
For financial reporting purposes, our product categories share
similar economic characteristics and share costs; therefore, they
are combined into one reporting segment.
Our
Interactive Content and Data Applications consist of a suite of
software applications that provide publicly traded company and
market information to corporate clients via the Internet.
Products include stock market quotes, fundamentals, historical and
interactive charts, company news, filings, option chains, insider
transactions, corporate financials, corporate profiles, screeners,
market research information, investor relations provisions, level
II, watch lists, and real-time quotes. All of our content solutions
are completely customizable and embed directly into client Web
pages for seamless integration with existing content. We are
continuing to develop and launch new modules of QModTM, our new
proprietary Web delivery system. QMod was created for secure market
data provisioning as well as ease of integration and unlimited
customization. Additionally, QMod delivers search engine optimized
(SEO) ready responsive content designed to adapt on the fly when
rendered on mobile devices or standard Web pages –
automatically resizing and reformatting to fit the device on which
it is displayed.
Our
Data Feed Services consist of raw streaming real-time market data
delivered over the Internet or via dedicated telecommunication
lines, and supplemental fundamental, historical, and analytical
data, keyed to the same symbology, which provides a complete market
data solution offered to our customers. Currently,
QuoteMedia’s Data Feed services include complete coverage of
North American exchanges and over 70 exchanges worldwide. For
financial reporting purposes, Data Feed Services revenue is
included in the Interactive Content and Data Applications revenue
totals.
Our
Portfolio Management Systems consist of QuotestreamTM, Quotestream
Mobile, Quotestream Professional, and our Web Portfolio Management
systems. Quotestream Desktop is an Internet-based streaming online
portfolio management system that delivers real-time and delayed
market data to both consumer and corporate markets.
Quotestream has been designed for syndication and private branding
by brokerage, banking, and Web portal companies.
Quotestream’s enhanced features and functionality –
most notably tick-by-tick true streaming data, significantly
enhanced charting features, and a broad range of additional
research and analytical content and functionality – offer a
professional-level experience to nonprofessional
users.
Quotestream
Professional is specifically designed for use by financial services
professionals, offering exceptional coverage and functionality at
extremely aggressive pricing. Quotestream Professional features
broad market coverage, reliability, complete flexibility,
ultra-low-latency tick-by-tick data, as well as completely
customizable screens, advanced charting, comprehensive technical
analysis, news and research data.
Quotestream
Mobile is a true companion product to the Quotestream desktop
products (Quotestream and Quotestream Professional) – any
changes made to portfolios in either the desktop or mobile
application are automatically reflected in the other.
14
A key
feature of QuoteMedia’s business model is that all of our
product lines generate recurring monthly licensing revenue from
each client. Contracts to license Quotestream to our corporate
clients, for example, typically have a term of one to three years
and are automatically renewed unless notice is given at least 90
days prior to the expiration of the current license term. We also
generate Quotestream revenue through individual end-user licenses
on a monthly or annual subscription fee basis. Interactive
Content and Data Applications and Market Data Feeds are licensed
for a monthly, quarterly, annual, or semi-annual subscription fee.
Contracts to license our Financial Data Products and Data Feeds
typically have a term of one to three years and are automatically
renewed unless notice is given 90 days prior to the expiration of
the contract term.
Business environment and trends
The
global financial markets have experienced extreme volatility and
disruption in recent months. The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic
and the resulting response by governments and individuals around
the world has caused contraction in global economies. We are
closely monitoring the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on all
aspects of our business, including how it will impact team members,
customers, suppliers, and global markets.
Given
the dynamic nature of these circumstances, the full impact of the
COVID-19 pandemic on our ongoing business, results of operations,
and overall future financial performance cannot be reasonably
estimated at this time. While our subscription-based revenue is
generally more recurring in nature, the uncertainty caused by the
COVID-19 pandemic could lead clients to delay purchasing decisions
or product and service implementations or may cause them to cancel
or reduce spending with us.
Our
operations also have been affected by a range of external factors
related to the COVID-19 pandemic that are not within our control.
For example, many jurisdictions imposed a wide range of
restrictions on the physical movement of our employees and vendors
to limit the spread of COVID-19. We have taken numerous steps, and
will continue to take further actions, in our approach to
addressing the COVID-19 pandemic. To protect the health and safety
of our team members, we successfully transitioned our workforce to
remote work environments. We are also working closely with our
clients to support them as they implement their own contingency
plans, helping them access our products and services
remotely.
The
situation surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic remains fluid, and we
are actively managing our response and assessing potential impacts
to our financial position and operating results. This includes the
evaluation and implementation of certain cost control efforts to
help us mitigate the impact that reduced revenues may have on our
2020 financial results. We are focusing on maintaining a strong
balance sheet and liquidity position.
On May
4, 2020, the Company received loan proceeds in the amount of
$133,257 under the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”).
The PPP, established as part of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and
Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”). See Financial
Statement Note 8 - Subsequent Events.
The
Canadian dollar depreciated 1.1% when comparing average exchange
rates for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019. The
exchange rate fluctuation decreased both Canadian dollar revenues
and expenses once translated into U.S. dollars for the three months
ended March 31, 2020 when compared to the same period in 2019 but
had a minimal impact on our net income. The Canadian dollar
depreciated 9.5% when comparing spot rates at March 31, 2020 and
December 31, 2019, however, so we expect the average Canadian
dollar exchange rate to continue to decline for the remainder of
2020 lowering both Canadian dollar revenue and expenses when
translated into U.S. dollars. We do not expect a further
depreciation of the Canadian dollar to have a significant impact on
our net income.
Our
revenue grew 3% when comparing the three months ended March 31,
2020 to the comparative period in 2019. Based on clients currently
under contract, we expect our positive revenue growth to continue
for the remainder of 2020 despite current market conditions related
to COVID-19.
Plan of operation
For the
remainder of 2020 we plan to continue to expand our product lines
and improve our infrastructure. We plan to add more features and
data to our existing products and release newer versions with
improved performance and flexibility for client
integration.
We will
maintain our focus on marketing Quotestream for deployments by
brokerage firms to their retail clients and continue our expansion
into the investment professional market with Quotestream
Professional. We also plan to continue the growth of our Data Feed
Services client base, particularly through the addition of major
new international data feed coverage, as well as new data delivery
products.
QuoteMedia
will continue to focus on increasing the sales of its Interactive
Content and Data Applications, particularly in the context of
large-scale enterprise deployments encompassing solutions ranging
across several product lines. QMod is a major component of this
strategy, given the broad demand for mobile-ready, SEO-friendly Web
content.
15
Important
development projects for 2020 include broad expansion of data and
news coverage, including the addition of a wide array of
international exchange data and news and video feeds, expansion of
fixed-income coverage, and the introduction of several new and
upgraded market information products.
New
deployments of our trade integration capabilities, which allow our
Quotestream applications to interact with our brokerage
clients’ back-end trade execution and reporting platforms
(enabling on-the-fly trade execution and tracking of holdings) are
underway and will continue to be a priority in the coming
year.
We are
also creating new proprietary data sets, analytics, and scoring
mechanisms. We have contracted a remote overseas development team
to aggregate data direct from the sources to produce data sets that
will be proprietary to QuoteMedia. This will allow us to offer our
clients new data products and lower our product cost structure as
we replace some of our existing data providers with our own lower
cost data.
Opportunistically,
efforts will be made to evaluate and pursue the development of
additional new products that may eventually be commercialized by
our company. Although not currently anticipated, we may require
additional capital to execute our proposed plan of operation. There
can be no assurance that such additional capital will be available
to our company on commercially reasonable terms or at
all.
Our
future performance will be subject to a number of business factors,
including those beyond our control, such as a continuation of
market uncertainty and evolving industry needs and preferences, as
well as the level of competition and our ability to continue to
successfully market our products and technology. There can be no
assurance that we will be able to successfully implement our
marketing strategy, continue our revenue growth, or achieve
profitable operations.

Our
total Portfolio Management System revenue decreased by 3% when
comparing the three months ended March 31, 2020 and
2019.
Corporate
Quotestream revenue decreased 3% for the three months ended March
31, 2020 from the comparative period in 2019 primarily due to one
of our larger Corporate Quotestream customers significantly
reducing their services effective April 2019. The decrease was
offset by new Corporate Quotestream customers signed since the
comparative period.
Individual
Quotestream revenue decreased 3% for the three months ended March
31, 2020 from the comparative period in 2019. There was a decrease
in users in the first two months of the year. There was an increase
in users in March, which can be attributed to marketing efforts and
market volatility caused by COVID-19. Some of the decrease is
caused by foreign exchange fluctuations as 55% of Individual
Quotestream revenue is earned in Canadian dollars. The Canadian
dollar depreciated 1.1% when comparing average exchange rates for
the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019.
Interactive
Content and Data Application revenue increased 10% when comparing
the three-months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, mainly attributable
to an increase in the average revenue per client. The increase in
average revenue per client results from the launch of new products
such as QMod, our new proprietary Web delivery system, the
expansion of our data coverage, as well as the general
strengthening of our financial position, all of which have allowed
us to attract larger clients.

Our
cost of revenue consists of fixed and variable stock exchange fees
and data feed provisioning costs. Cost of revenue also includes
amortization of capitalized internal-use software costs. We
capitalize the costs associated with developing new products during
the application development stage.
Cost of
revenue increased 3% when comparing the three months ended March
31, 2020 and 2019. The increase in cost of revenue is due to
increase in the amortization of capitalized internal-use software
costs related to the increase in capitalized development costs in
2020 and 2019.
Overall,
our cost of revenue remained unchanged as a percentage of sales, as
evidenced by our gross margin percentage which remained at 49% for
the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019.

Sales and Marketing
Sales
and marketing consist primarily of sales and customer service
salaries, investor relations, travel and advertising expenses.
Sales and marketing expenses increased by 17% when comparing the
three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019. The increase is a
result of additional sales personnel hired to drive future
growth.
General and Administrative
General
and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries expense,
office rent, insurance premiums, and professional fees. General and
administrative expenses increased 25% when comparing the three
months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019. Increases were due to
increases in salaries and health benefits due to the hiring of
additional personnel to meet expected future growth. We also
incurred an increase in bad debts from the comparative period of
$74,986, primarily due to the impact of Covid-19. In anticipation
of future bad debts associated with Covid-19, we also increased our
allowance for doubtful accounts from $80,000 at December 31, 2019
to $100,000 at March 31, 2020.
Software Development
Software
development expenses consist primarily of costs associated with the
design, programming, and testing of our software applications
during the preliminary project stage. Software development expenses
also include costs incurred to maintain our software
applications.
Software
development expenses increased 36% for the three months ended March
31, 2020 when compared to the same period in 2019. The increase was
mainly due to hiring additional development personnel since the
comparative period.
We
capitalized $335,549 and $307,506 of development costs for the
three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. These
costs relate to the development of application software used by
subscribers to access, manage, and analyze information in our
databases. Capitalized costs associated with application software
are amortized over their estimated economic life of three years.
Capitalized development costs remained relatively the
same.

Foreign Exchange Gain (Loss)
Foreign
exchange gains and losses arise from the re-measurement of Canadian
dollar monetary assets and liabilities into U.S. dollars. We have a
net Canadian dollar liability; therefore, we incur a foreign
exchange gain when the Canadian dollar depreciates from the period
beginning date, and a loss when the Canadian dollar appreciates.
Gains and losses arising from exchange rate fluctuations between
transaction and settlement dates for foreign currency denominated
transactions are also included in foreign exchange gains and
losses.
17
The
Canadian dollar depreciated 9.3% versus the U.S. dollar when
comparing the foreign exchange rate at March 31, 2020 to the rate
at December 31, 2019 resulting in a foreign exchange gain of
$11,206 for the three months ended March 31, 2020. We incurred a
foreign exchange loss of $14,058 for the same period in 2019
arising from exchange rate fluctuations between transaction and
settlement dates for foreign currency denominated
transactions.
We
incurred a foreign exchange gain of $11,206 for the three months
ended March 31, 2020 mainly attributable to the re-measurement of
Canadian dollar monetary assets and liabilities into U.S. dollars,
as the Canadian dollar depreciated 9% versus the U.S. dollar when
comparing the foreign exchange rates at March 31, 2020 to the rate
at December 31, 2019. We incurred a foreign exchange loss of
$14,058 for the comparative 2019 period mainly attributable to the
re-measurement of Canadian dollar monetary assets and liabilities
into U.S. dollars as the Canadian dollar appreciated 2% versus the
U.S. dollar in 2018.
Interest Expense
Interest
expense relates primarily to the interest expense associated with
our finance leases and was relatively unchanged from the
comparative period. Interest expense of $1,527 was incurred for the
three months ended March 31, 2020, compared to $1,678 incurred in
the same 2019 period.
Provision for Income Taxes
For the
three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company recorded Canadian
income tax expense of $744 compared to $752 in the comparative
period in 2019.
Net Income (Loss) for the Period
As a
result of the foregoing, our net loss for the three months ended
March 31, 2020 was $117,324 compared to net income of $113,056 for
the three months ended March 31, 2019. Basic and diluted earnings
per share were $(0.00) for the three months ended March 31, 2020,
and $0.00 for the three months ended March 31, 2019.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our
cash totaled $802,778 at March 31, 2020, as compared with $815,487
at December 31, 2019, a decrease of $12,709. Net cash of $383,475
was provided by operations for the three months ended March 31,
2020, primarily due to the net loss during the period adjusted for
non-cash charges and the increase in accounts payable. Net cash
used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31,
2020 was $385,968 resulting primarily from capitalized application
software costs and the purchase of new computer equipment. Cash
used in financing activities for the three months ended March 31,
2020 was $10,216 related to the repayment of capital lease
financing.
We have
a working capital deficit of $605,381 as of March 31, 2020, however
current liabilities include $587,013 in deferred revenue and the
expected costs necessary to realize the deferred revenue are
minimal.
Based
on the factors discussed above, we believe that our cash on hand
and cash generated from operations will be sufficient to fund our
current operations for a period of one year after issuance of these
Financial Statements. However, to implement our business plan may
require additional financing. Additional financings may come from
future equity or debt offerings that could result in dilution to
our stockholders. Further, current adverse capital and credit
market conditions could limit our access to capital. We may be
unable to raise capital or bear an unattractive cost of capital
that could reduce our financial flexibility.
ITEM 4. Controls and
Procedures
Under
the supervision and with the participation of our Chairman of the
Board and Chairman of the Audit Committee, Chief Executive Officer
and Chief Financial Officer, we completed an evaluation of the
effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure
controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and
15d-15(e) to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the
“Exchange Act”)). Based on that evaluation, we and our
management have concluded that our disclosure controls and
procedures at March 31, 2020 were effective at the reasonable
assurance level to ensure that information required to be disclosed
by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act
is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time
periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC, and are
designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us
in these reports is accumulated and communicated to our management,
as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required
disclosures. In the nine months ended March 31, 2020, there has
been no change in our internal control over financial reporting
that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to affect,
our internal control over financial reporting.
We will
consider further actions and continue to evaluate the effectiveness
of our disclosure controls and internal controls and procedures on
an ongoing basis, taking corrective action as appropriate.
Management does not expect that disclosure controls and procedures
or internal controls can prevent all errors and all fraud. A
control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can
provide only reasonable and not absolute assurance that the
objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a
control system must reflect the fact that there are resource
constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered
relative to their costs. While management believes that its
disclosure controls and procedures provide reasonable assurance
that fraud can be detected and prevented, because of the inherent
limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can
provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of
fraud, if any, have been detected.
