Sonic Foundry, Inc.
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2019
(Unaudited)

1.
Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies
Financial Statements
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited and have been prepared on a basis substantially consistent with the Company's audited financial statements as of and for the year ended September 30, 2019 included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K.
In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. Operating results for the three month period ended December 31, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results that might be expected for the year ending September 30, 2020.
Financing Receivables
Financing receivables consist of customer receivables resulting from the sale of the Company's products and services, primarily software and long-term customer support contracts, and are presented net of allowance for losses. The Company has a single portfolio consisting of fixed-term receivables, which is further segregated into two classes based on type of product and lease.

The Company generally determines its allowance for losses on financing receivables at the customer class level by considering a number of factors, including the length of time financing receivables are past due, historical and anticipated experience, the customer’s current ability to pay its obligation, and the condition of the general economy and the industry as a whole. The Company writes off financing receivables when they become uncollectible, and payments subsequently received on such receivables are credited to the allowance for financing receivable losses. Interest is not accrued on past due receivables. There was an allowance of $526 thousand at December 31, 2019 and September 30, 2019.

Amounts receivable primarily represent sales of perpetual software licenses to a single international distributor on invoices outstanding for product delivered from March 2016 through June 2017. The entire balance of product receivables as of December 31, 2019 is made up of the product finance receivable that is fully reserved. The entire allowance for losses on financing receivables of $526 thousand is considered attributable to this class of customer as of December 31, 2019 and 2018.
Investment in Sales-Type Lease
The Company has entered into sales-type lease arrangements with certain customers, consisting of recorders leased with terms ranging from 3-5 years.
Investment in sales-type leases consists of the following (in thousands) as of December 31, 2019:

Asset Retirement Obligation
An asset retirement obligation (“ARO”) associated with the retirement of a tangible long-lived asset is recognized as a liability in the period in which it is incurred or becomes determinable, with an associated increase in the carrying amount of the related long-term asset.  The cost of the tangible asset, including the initially recognized asset retirement cost, is depreciated over the useful life of the asset.  As of December 31, 2019 and September 30, 2019, the Company has recorded a liability of $129 thousand, respectively, for retirement obligations associated with returning the MSKK leased property to the respective lessors upon the termination of the lease arrangement. Asset retirement obligations are included in other-long term assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments

In determining the fair value of financial assets and liabilities, the Company currently utilizes market data or other assumptions that it believes market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability in the principal or most advantageous market, and adjusts for non-performance and/or other risk associated with the Company as well as counterparties, as appropriate. When considering market participant assumptions in fair value measurements, the following fair value hierarchy distinguishes between observable and unobservable inputs, which are categorized in one of the following levels:

Level 1 Inputs: Unadjusted quoted prices which are available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities accessible to the Company at the measurement date.
    
Level 2 Inputs: Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.

Level 3 Inputs: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability used to measure fair value to the extent that observable inputs are not available, thereby allowing for situations in which there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability at measurement date.

The hierarchy gives the highest priority to Level 1, as this level provides the most reliable measure of fair value, while giving the lowest priority to Level 3.

Financial Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on Recurring Basis

The fair value of the bifurcated conversion feature represented by the warrant derivative liability associated with the PFG debt is measured at fair value on a recurring basis based on a Black Scholes option pricing model with assumptions for stock price, exercise price, volatility, expected term, risk free interest rate and dividend yield similar to those described for share-based compensation which were generally observable (Level 2).

Financial liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis are summarized below (in thousands):

The gain or loss related to the fair value remeasurement on the derivative liability is included in the other income (expense) line on the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Financial Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis

The initial fair values of PFG debt and warrant debt (see Note 4) were based on the present value of expected future cash flows and assumptions about current interest rates and the creditworthiness of the Company (Level 3). 

The Mr. Mark Burish ("Mr. Burish") warrant was measured at fair value using a Black Scholes model and the remaining fair value was allocated to the related Mr. Burish note purchase agreement (see Note 4) which management believes materially approximates the fair value based on calculating the present value of expected future cash flows (Level 3). The non-recurring fair value measurements were performed as of the date of issuance of the note purchase agreement and warrant. The discount is being amortized over the life of the related debt.

Financial Instruments Not Measured at Fair Value

The Company's other financial instruments consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, investment in sales-type lease, financing receivables, accounts payable and debt instruments and capital lease obligations. The book values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, investment in sales-type lease, and accounts payable are considered to be representative of their respective fair values due their short term nature. The carrying value of capital lease obligations and debt including the current portion, approximates fair market value as the variable and fixed rate approximates the current market rate of interest available to the Company.
Legal Contingencies
When legal proceedings are brought or claims are made against the Company and the outcome is uncertain, we are required to determine whether it is probable that an asset has been impaired or a liability has been incurred. If such impairment or liability is probable and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated, the loss must be charged to earnings.

No legal contingencies were recorded or were required to be disclosed for the three months ended December 31, 2019 or 2018, respectively.
Stock Based Compensation
The Company uses a lattice valuation model to account for all employee stock options granted. The lattice valuation model is a more flexible analysis to value options because of its ability to incorporate inputs that change over time, such as actual exercise behavior of option holders. The Company uses historical data to estimate the option exercise and employee departure behavior in the lattice valuation model. Expected volatility is based on historical volatility of the Company’s stock. The Company considers all employees to have similar exercise behavior and therefore has not identified separate homogeneous groups for valuation. The expected term of options granted is derived from the output of the option pricing model and represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding. The risk-free rate for periods the options are expected to be outstanding is based on the U.S. Treasury yields in effect at the time of grant. Forfeitures are based on actual behavior patterns. The expected exercise factor and forfeiture rates are calculated using historical exercise and forfeiture activity for the previous three years.
The fair value of each option grant is estimated using the assumptions in the following table:

The weighted average grant date fair value of options granted during the three months ended December 31, 2019 was $0.50. As of December 31, 2019, there was $169 thousand of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested stock-based compensation, with total forfeiture adjusted unrecognized compensation cost of $124 thousand. The cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average remaining life of 2.1 years.
Stock-based compensation recorded in the three months ended December 31, 2019 was $52 thousand. Stock-based compensation recorded in the three months ended December 31, 2018 was $164 thousand. There was no cash received from exercises under all stock option plans and warrants in either of the three months ended December 31, 2019 or 2018. There were no tax benefits realized for tax deductions from option exercises in either of the three month periods ended December 31, 2019 or 2018. The Company currently expects to satisfy share-based awards with registered shares available to be issued.
The Company also has an Employee Stock Purchase Plan ("Purchase Plan") under which an aggregate of 200,000 common shares may be issued. A total of 23,013 shares are available to be issued under the plan, which includes 2,660 shares issued on January 31, 2020. The Company recorded stock compensation expense under this plan of less than $1 thousand for each of the three month periods ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.
Preferred Stock and Dividends
The Company considered relevant guidance when accounting for the issuance of preferred stock, and determined that the preferred shares meet the criteria for equity classification. Dividends accrued on preferred shares will be shown as a reduction to net income (or an increase in net loss) for purposes of calculating earnings per common share.

Per Share Computation
Basic earnings (loss) per share has been computed using the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period, less shares that may be repurchased, and excludes any dilutive effects of options and warrants. In periods where the Company reports net income, diluted net income per share is computed using common equivalent shares related to outstanding options and warrants to purchase common stock. The numerator for the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share is net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders. The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted weighted average shares used in the earnings per share calculations:

Liquidity
At December 31, 2019, approximately $1.0 million of cash and cash equivalents was held by the Company's foreign subsidiaries.
The Company believes its cash position plus available resources is adequate to accomplish its business plan through at least the next twelve months. We will likely evaluate lease opportunities to finance equipment purchases in the future and anticipate continuing to utilize proceeds from the note purchase agreement to support working capital needs. We may also seek additional equity financing but there are no assurances that these will be on terms acceptable to the Company.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In August 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2018-13, "Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework-Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurements", ("ASU 2018-13"). ASU 2018-13 modifies the disclosure requirements on fair value measurements in Topic 820. The amendments in ASU 2018-13 are effective for all entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company does not believe the ASU will have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements.
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", ("ASU 2018-15"). ASU 2018-15 aligns the requirement for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software (and hosting arrangements that include an internal-use software license). The amendments in ASU 2018-15 are effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the guidance and its impact to the financial statements.
In November 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-18, "Collaborative Arrangements (Topic 808): Clarifying the Interaction between Topic 808 and Topic 606", ("ASU 2018-18"). ASU 2018-18 provides guidance on whether certain transactions between collaborative arrangement participants should be accounted for with revenue under Topic 606. The amendments in ASU 2018-18 are effective for all public entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is in the process of assessing the impact, if any, of this ASU on its consolidated financial statements.
In April 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-04, "Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses, Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and Topic 825, Financial Instruments", ("ASU 2019-04"). ASU 2019-04 identifies certain areas that need clarification and correction in each of these Topics. For Topic 326, for entities that have adopted ASU 2016-13, the amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within fiscal those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted in any interim period after issuance as long as the entity has adopted the amendments in ASU 2016-13. The Company is currently evaluating the guidance and its impact to the financial statements.
In November 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-08, "Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718) and Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)", ("ASU 2019-08"). This ASU requires that an entity measure and classify share-based payment awards granted to a customer by applying the guidance in Topic 718. For entities that have not yet adopted the amendments in

14

ASU 2018-07, the amendments in this Update are effective for public business entities in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the guidance and its impact to the financial statements.
In November 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-10, "Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326), Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815), and Leases (Topic 842)", ("ASU 2019-10"). This ASU addressed effective dates of the aforementioned major Accounting Standards Updates as a result of the challenges implementation of major standards poses for private companies, smaller reporting companies, and not-for-profit organizations. ASU 2019-10 is a major update which would first be effective for bucket-one entities, which are public entities that are Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") filers, excluding entities eligible to be smaller reporting companies under the SEC's definition. The Company does qualify as a smaller reporting company under the SEC's definition. Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326) is currently not effective for any entities; ASU 2019-10 changes the effective date of this update for all other public companies (including smaller reporting companies) to be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Because Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815) and Leases (Topic 842) are already effective for public business entities the Board retained the effective date for those entities, including smaller reporting companies.
In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, "Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes", ("ASU 2019-12"). The amendments in this ASU affect entities within the scope of Topic 740. For public business entities, the amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022. Early adoption of the amendments is permitted, including adoption in any interim period for public entities for periods for which financial statements have not yet been issued. An entity that elects to early adopt the amendments in an interim period should reflect any adjustments as of the beginning of the annual period that includes that interim period. An entity that elects early adoption much adopt all the amendments in the same period. The Company is currently evaluating the guidance and its impact to the financial statements.
In January 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-01, "Investments - Equity Securities (Topic 321), Investments - Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323), and Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815)", ("ASU 2020-01"). The amendments in this ASU affect all entities that apply the guidance in Topics 321, 323, and 815 and either (1) elect to apply the measurement alternative or (2) enter into a forward contract or purchase an option to purchase securities that, upon settlement of the forward contract or exercise of the purchased option, would be accounted for under the equity method of accounting. For public business entities, the amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2020, and interim periods with those fiscal years. The amendments in this ASU should be applied prospectively. Under a prospective transition, an entity should apply the amendments at the beginning of the interim period that includes the adoption date. The Company is currently evaluating the guidance and its impact to the financial statements.
Accounting standards that have been issued but are not yet effective by the FASB or other standards-setting bodies that do not require adoption until a future date, which are not discussed above, are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements upon adoption.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

Leases (ASC Topic 842, Leases ("ASC 842"))
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, "Leases (Topic 842)", ("ASU 2016-02") as well as several other related updates which were codified as ASC 842. On October 1, 2019, we adopted this update using the modified retrospective method through a cumulative-effect adjustment. The reported results for the three months ended December 31, 2019 reflect the application of Topic 842, while the comparative information has not been restated and continues to be reported under the related lease accounting standards in effect for those periods. The adoption of this update represents a change in accounting principle and result in the recognition of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities of $2.6 million on October 1, 2019. We elected the package of practical expedients, which permits us to leverage our prior conclusions about lease identification, lease classification and initial direct costs incurred. We also elected the practical expedient to combine lease and non-lease components when determining the value of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities. The primary effect of adopting this update relates to the recognition of our operating leases on our condensed consolidated balance sheets and providing additional disclosures about our leasing activities. Leases previously designated as capital leases are now identified as finance leases and continue to be reported on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Leases previously identified as sales-type leases, where the Company is a lessor, continue to be reported on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Refer to Note 3 - Commitments for additional disclosures related to our leasing activities.

In July 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-11, "Earnings Per Share (Topic 260); Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (Topic 480); Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815)", ("ASU 2017-11"). This update was issued to address complexities in accounting for certain equity-linked financial instruments containing down round features. The amendment changes the classification analysis of these financial instruments (or embedded features) so that equity classification is no longer precluded. The amendments in ASU 2017-11 are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods, and was adopted by the Company as of October 1, 2019. The implementation of this standard did not result in a material impact to its consolidated financial statements.
In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-12, "Derivatives and Hedging Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities", ("ASU 2017-12"). This update was issued to better align an entity's risk management activities and financial reporting for hedging relationships through changes to both the designation and measurement guidance for qualifying hedging relationships and the presentation of hedge results. The amendments in ASU 2017-12 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years, and was adopted by the Company as of October 1, 2019. The implementation of this standard did not result in a material impact to its consolidated financial statements.
In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07, "Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting", ("ASU 2018-07"). The standard addresses aspects of the accounting for nonemployee share-based payment transactions. The amendments in ASU 2018-07 are effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within that fiscal year, and was adopted by the Company as of October 1, 2019. The implementation of this standard did not result in a material impact to its consolidated financial statements.
In April 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-04, "Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses, Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and Topic 825, Financial Instruments", ("ASU 2019-04"). ASU 2019-04 identifies certain areas that need clarification and correction in each of these Topics. For Topic 815, for entities that have not yet adopted ASU 2017-12 as of the issuance date of this ASU, the effective dates and transition requirements for the amendments to Topic 815 are the same as the effective dates and transition requirements in ASU 2017-12. The amendments for Topic 815 in ASU 2019-04 were adopted by the Company as of October 1, 2019. The implementation of this standard did not result in a material impact to its consolidated financial statements.

3. Commitments
Inventory Purchase Commitments
The Company enters into unconditional purchase commitments on a regular basis for the supply of Mediasite product. At December 31, 2019, the Company has an obligation to purchase $356 thousand of Mediasite product, which is not recorded on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet.
Leases
The Company has operating leases for corporate office space with various expiration dates. Our leases have remaining lease terms of up to three years, some of which include escalation clauses, renewal options for up to twelve years or termination options within one year.
We determine if an arrangement is a lease upon contract inception. The Company has both operating and finance leases. Right-of-use assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term, and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments according to the arrangement.
A contract contains a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of the identified property, plant or equipment for a period of time in exchange for consideration. At commencement, contracts containing a lease are further evaluated for classification as an an operating or finance lease where the Company is a lessee, or as an operating, sales-type or direct financing lease where the Company is a lessor, based on their terms.
Lease right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are recognized as of the commencement date based on the present value of the lease payments over the lease term. The lease right-of-use asset is reduced for tenant incentives and excludes any initial direct costs incurred. We use the implicit rate when it is readily determinable. Otherwise, the present value of future minimum lease payments is determined using the Company's incremental borrowing rate. The incremental borrowing rate is based on the interest rate of the Company's most recent borrowing.
The lease term we use for the valuation of our right-of-use assets and lease liabilities may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise those options. Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis

17

over the expected lease term for operating leases. Amortization expense of the right-of-use asset for finance leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term and interest expense for finance leases is recognized based on the incremental interest rate.
Right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are recognized for our leases. Right-of-use assets under finance leases are included in property and equipment on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
We have operating lease arrangements with lease and non-lease components. The non-lease components in our arrangements are not significant when compared to the lease components. For all operating leases, we account for the lease and non-lease components as a single component.
As of December 31, 2019, future maturities of operating and finance lease liabilities for the fiscal years ended September 30 are as follows (in thousands):

4. Credit Arrangements

Partners for Growth V, L.P.
On May 11, 2018, Sonic Foundry, Inc., entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (the “2018 Loan and Security Agreement”) with Partners for Growth V, L.P. (“PFG V”).
The 2018 Loan and Security Agreement provides for a Term Loan ("Term Loan") in the amount of $2,500,000, which was disbursed in two (2) Tranches as follows: Tranche 1 was disbursed on May 14, 2018 in the amount of $2,000,000; and Tranche 2 in the amount of $500,000, was disbursed on November 8, 2018.
Each tranche of the Term Loan bears interest at 10.75% per annum. Tranche 1 of the Term Loan is payable interest only until November 30, 2018. Thereafter, principal is due in 30 equal monthly principal installments, plus accrued interest, beginning December 1, 2018 and continuing until May 1, 2021, when the principal balance is to be paid in full. Tranche 2 of the Term Loan is payable using the same repayment schedule as Tranche 1. Upon maturity, Sonic Foundry is required to pay PFG V a cash fee of $150,000.
The principal of the Term Loan may be prepaid at any time, provided that Sonic Foundry pays to PFG V a prepayment fee equal to 1% of the principal amount prepaid, if the prepayment occurs in the first year from disbursement of Tranche 1.
The Term Loan is collateralized by substantially all the Company’s assets, including intellectual property.
Coincident with execution of the 2018 Loan and Security Agreement, the Company entered into a Warrant Agreement (“Warrant”) with PFG V. Pursuant to the terms of the Warrant, the Company issued to PFG V a warrant to purchase up to 66,000 shares of common stock of the Company at an exercise price of $2.57 per share, subject to certain adjustments. Pursuant to the Warrant, PFG V is also entitled, under certain conditions, to require the Company to exchange the Warrant for the sum of $250,000. All warrants issued in connection with PFG V expire on May 11, 2023.
At December 31, 2019, and September 30, 2019, the estimated fair value of the derivative liability associated with the warrants issued in connection with the 2018 Loan and Security Agreement, was $11 thousand and $9 thousand, respectively. The remeasurement loss on the derivative liability during the three months ended December 31, 2019, was $2 thousand, included in the other income (expense) compared to a remeasurement gain of $15 thousand during the three months ended December 31, 2018.

19

The proceeds from the 2018 Loan and Security Agreement were allocated between the PFG V Debt and the Warrant Debt (inclusive of its conversion feature) based on their relative fair value on the date of issuance which resulted in carrying values of $2.3 million and $156 thousand, respectively. The warrant debt of $156 thousand is treated together as a debt discount on the PFG V Debt and will be accreted to interest expense under the effective interest method over the three-year term of the PFG V Debt and the five-year term of the Warrant Debt. During the three months ended December 31, 2019, the Company recorded accretion of discount expense associated with the warrants issued with the PFG V loan of $5 thousand compared to $4 thousand in the same period last year, as well as $14 thousand related to amortization of the debt discount compared to $13 thousand in the prior year. At December 31, 2019, the fair values of the PFG V Debt and the Warrant Debt (inclusive of its conversion feature) were $1.5 million and $154 thousand, respectively. In addition, the Company agreed to pay PFG V a cash fee of up to $150,000 payable upon maturity (the “back-end fee”), which will be earned ratably over the three year term of the PFG V loan. During the three months ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, the Company recorded interest expense of $13 thousand, respectively, associated with recognition of the back-end fee.
The non-cash effective interest expense is calculated on the net balance of the PFG V Debt, debt discount, back-end fee and related loan origination fees, on a monthly basis. During the three months ended December 31, 2019, we recorded $3 thousand of non-cash interest expense related to the effective interest rate on the PFG V loan.
On March 11, 2019, Sonic Foundry, Inc. entered into a Consent, Waiver & Modification to the 2018 Loan and Security Agreement dated May 11, 2018 (the "Modification") with Partners for Growth V, L.P. ("PFG"). Under the Modification: PFG waived the Company's default on the Minimum EBITDA financial covenant for the quarterly reporting period ending December 31, 2018; modified the existing financial covenants to be as follows: (i) Minimum Coverage Ratio (as defined), which requires, as of the last day of each month on or after the closing date, to be equal to or greater than (x) 0.7: 1.00 for the December through May calendar months, and (y) 0.9:1.00 for the June through November calendar months; (ii) Minimum Qualifying Revenue (as defined), which requires, as of the last day of each calendar month, on or after December 1, 2018, on a trailing twelve-month basis, to be no less than $13,000,000; and modified the negative covenants to be as follows: the Company (x) shall not cause or permit (a) Japanese subsidiary indebtedness under its revolving line of credit facility to exceed at any time $1,000,000 outstanding, or (b) aggregate subsidiary indebtedness to exceed $1,200,000 at any time. At December 31, 2019, the Company was in compliance with all covenants per the 2018 Loan and Security Agreement, as modified.
Under the Modification, the Company was required to draw the next tranche of $1,000,000 in proceeds on the Note Purchase Agreement (detailed below) on or before March 31, 2019 as well as the final tranche of $1,000,000 in proceeds on or before April 30, 2019. The Company met this requirement as all tranches were fully drawn prior to April 30, 2019.
The existing terms of the PFG loan in terms of amortization, interest rate, payment schedule and maturity date are unchanged.
At December 31, 2019, a gross balance of $1.4 million was outstanding on the term debt with PFG V with an effective interest rate of sixteen-and-six-tenths percent (16.60%). At September 30, 2019, a gross balance of $1.7 million was outstanding with PFG V.

to Mr. Burish with each share valued at $1.30 per share. The February 14, 2019 Promissory Note was later included in the Note Purchase Agreement, dated February 28, 2019, as detailed below.
February 28, 2019 Note Purchase Agreement
On February 28, 2019, Sonic Foundry, Inc. entered into a Note Purchase Agreement (the "Note Purchase Agreement") with Mr. Burish.
The Note Purchase Agreement provides for subordinated secured promissory notes (the "Subordinated Promissory Notes") in an aggregate original principal amount of up to $5,000,000. Mr. Burish will acquire from the Company (a) on the initial closing date, the notes in an aggregate principal amount of $3,000,000 (the "Initial Notes") and (b) two additional tranches, each in the amount of $1,000,000 and payable at any time prior to the first anniversary of the Agreement (the "Additional Notes" and together with the Initial Notes, collectively, the "Purchase Price"). The Initial Notes were previously disbursed in January and February of 2019, as detailed above (the Promissory Note, the January 31st, 2019 Promissory Note, and the February 14, 2019 Promissory Note, collectively referred to as the "Initial Notes"). The fourth tranche was disbursed on March 13, 2019 and the fifth and final tranche was disbursed on April 4, 2019.
The Subordinated Promissory Notes accrue interest at the variable per annum rate equal to the Prime Rate (as defined) plus four percent (4.00%). The outstanding principal balance of the Subordinated Promissory Notes, plus all unpaid accrued interest, plus all outstanding and unpaid obligations, shall be due and payable on February 28, 2024 (the "Maturity Date"). Principal installments of $100,000 are payable on the last day of each month end beginning with the month ending August 31, 2020, and continuing through the Maturity Date.
The principal of the Subordinated Promissory Notes may be prepaid at any time in whole or in part, by payment of an amount equal to the unpaid principal balance to be pre-paid, plus all unpaid interest accrued thereon through the prepayment date, plus all outstanding and unpaid fees and expenses payable through the prepayment date.
At each anniversary of the Closing, an administration fee ("anniversary fee") will be payable to Mr. Burish equal to 0.5% of the purchase price less principal payments made.
The Subordinated Promissory Notes are collateralized by substantially all the Company's assets, including intellectual property, subject to the rights of Partners for Growth V, L.P., which shall be senior to the Subordinated Promissory Notes.
The Note Purchase Agreement requires compliance with the following financial covenants: (i) Minimum Coverage Ratio, which requires, as of the last day of each month on or after the closing date, the Minimum Coverage Ratio (as defined) to be equal to or greater than (x) 0.7:1.00 for the December through May calendar months, (y) 0.9:1.00 for the June through November calendar months; (ii) Minimum Qualifying Revenue (as defined), as of the last day of any calendar month, on or after December 1, 2018, on a trailing twelve-month basis, to be no less than $13,000,000. At December 31, 2019, the Company was in compliance with all covenants per the Note Purchase Agreement.
The Note Purchase Agreement dated February 28, 2019 is subordinated to the existing PFG loan.
The Company used the proceeds from the notes issued under the Note Purchase Agreement to replace the revolving line of credit with Silicon Valley Bank, which matured on January 31, 2019.
The proceeds from the Note Purchase Agreement were allocated between the Subordinated Promissory Notes and the Warrant debt based on their relative fair value on the date of issuance. The warrant debt of $674 thousand is treated together as a debt discount on the Subordinated Notes Payable and will be accreted to interest expense under the effective interest rate method over the five-year term of the Subordinated Notes Payable. During the three months ended December 31, 2019, the Company recorded accretion of discount expense associated with the Subordinated Promissory Notes of $34 thousand.
During the three months ended December 31, 2019, the Company recorded an accrued anniversary fee associated with the Subordinated Promissory Notes of $6 thousand.
The non-cash effective interest expense is calculated on the net balance of the Subordinated Promissory Notes, Warrant, and related loan origination fees, on a monthly basis. During the three months ended December 31, 2019, we recorded $15 thousand of non-cash interest benefit related to the effective interest rate on the Subordinated Promissory Notes.

21

At December 31, 2019, a gross principal balance of $5.0 million was outstanding on the Subordinated Promissory Notes, with an effective interest rate of fourteen-and-eight-tenths percent (14.79%). At September 30, 2019, a gross principal balance of $5.0 million was outstanding on the Subordinated Promissory Notes.
Accrued interest on the Subordinated Promissory Notes was paid through March 31, 2019, but has been deferred since that date. In April 2019 it was informally agreed between the Company and Mr. Burish that the interest would be deferred. On November 22, 2019, the Company entered into a Note Modification Agreement to formalize the deferment of the accrued interest. The Note Modification Agreement modifies the terms of the Subordinated Promissory Notes by deferring all interest payments due at the end of each calendar month beginning April 30, 2019 and continuing through and including July 31, 2020, in an amount which will be determined based on the variable interest rate on the Subordinated Promissory Notes. The deferred interest amount shall be added to the principal amount due on the Subordinated Notes and shall be paid on the maturity date. As a result of the Note Modification Agreement, $382 thousand and $259 thousand of accrued interest related to the Subordinated Notes Payable was re-classed from current to long-term on the Company condensed consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2019 and September 30, 2019, respectively.
February 28, 2019 Warrant
Coincident with execution of the Note Purchase Agreement, the Company entered into a Warrant Agreement ("Warrant") with Mr. Burish. Pursuant to the terms of the Warrant, the Company issued to Mr. Burish a warrant to purchase up to 728,155 shares of common stock of the Company at an exercise price of $1.18 per share, subject to certain adjustments.
On April 25, 2019, Mr. Burish exercised his warrant to purchase 728,155 shares of common stock of the Company at an exercise price of $1.18 per share. A special committee of disinterested and independent directors approved the issuance of the Subordinated Promissory Notes and the Warrant.
Other Indebtedness
At December 31, 2019 and September 30, 2019, no balance was outstanding on the line of credit with Mitsui Sumitomo Bank. The credit facility is related to Mediasite K.K., and accrues interest at an annual rate of approximately one-and-one half percent (1.575%).
On January 19, 2018, the Company and Mr. Burish entered into a Subscription Agreement (the “Subscription Agreement”). Pursuant to the Subscription Agreement, (i) on January 19, 2018, Mr. Burish purchased a 10.75% Convertible Secured Subordinated Promissory Note for $500,000 in cash; and (ii) on February 15, 2018, Mr. Burish purchased an additional 10.75% Convertible Secured Subordinated Promissory Note for $500,000 in cash (each, a “Note”, and collectively, the “Notes”).
On May 17, 2018, following approval by the stockholders of the Company of the conversion of the Notes sufficient to comply with rules and regulations of NASDAQ and the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Notes were automatically converted into 1,902 shares of Series A Preferred stock. The number of shares was determined by dividing the total principal and accrued interest due on each Note by $542.13 (the “Conversion Rate”).

5. Income Taxes
The Company’s practice is to recognize interest and/or penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense. The Company had no accruals for interest and penalties on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at December 31, 2019 or September 30, 2019, and has not recognized any interest or penalties in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for either of the three months ended December 31, 2019 or 2018, respectively.
The Company’s tax rate differs from the expected tax rate each reporting period as a result of permanent differences, the valuation allowance, and international tax items.

Transaction price allocated to future performance obligations
ASC 606 allows for the use of certain practical expedients, which we have elected and applied to measure our future performance obligations as of December 31, 2019.

As of December 31, 2019, the aggregate amount of the transaction price that is allocated to our future performance obligations was approximately $3.7 million in the next three months, $8.7 million in the next twelve months, and the remaining $1.7 million thereafter.
Disclosures related to our contracts with customers


23

Timing may differ between the satisfaction of performance obligations and the invoicing and collection of amounts related to our contracts with customers. We record assets for amounts related to performance obligations that are satisfied but not yet billed and/or collected. Liabilities are recorded for amounts that are collected in advance of the satisfaction of performance obligations. These liabilities are classified as current and non-current unearned revenue.
Unearned revenues

Unearned revenues represent our obligation to transfer products or services to our client for which we have received consideration, or an amount of consideration is due, from the client. During the three months ended December 31, 2019, revenues recognized related to the amount included in the unearned revenues balance at the beginning of the period was $4.3 million compared to $4.3 million recognized during the three months ended December 31, 2018.
Assets recognized from the costs to obtain our contracts with customers

We recognize an asset for the incremental costs of obtaining a contract with a customer. We amortize these deferred costs proportionate with related revenues over the period of the contract. During the three months ended December 31, 2019, amortization expense recognized related to the amount included in the capitalized commissions at the beginning of the period was $203 thousand compared to $249 thousand recognized during the three months ended December 31, 2018.

7. Subsequent Events
On January 30, 2020, Mediasite K.K. entered into a Term Loan ("Term Loan") with Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation for $460 thousand in cash. The Term loan accrues interest at an annual rate of 1.475%. Beginning in January 2020, principal is due in 12 equal monthly installments, plus accrued interest, continuing through December 30, 2020, when the principal balance will be paid in full.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
ASC 842
On October 1, 2019, we adopted ASC Topic 842, Leases ("ASC 842"), using the modified retrospective method. Under this method, we recognized the cumulative effect of applying the new standard to existing leases that were active as of the adoption date as an adjustment to the opening balance sheet. The reported results for the three months ended December 31, 2019 reflect the adoption of ASC 842, while the comparative information has not been restated and continues to be reported under the related accounting standards in effect for those periods. Refer to Note 3 - Commitments to the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements (unaudited) for additional information related to the effect of the adoption of ASC 842 as of and for the three months ended December 31, 2019.
Revenue
Revenue from our business includes the sale of Mediasite recorders and server software products and related services contracts, such as customer support, installation, customization services, training, content hosting and event services. We market our products to educational institutions, corporations and government agencies that need to deploy, manage, index and distribute video content on Internet-based networks. We reach both our domestic and international markets through reseller networks, a direct sales effort and partnerships with system integrators.
Q1-2020 compared to Q1-2019
Revenue in Q1-2020 increased $513 thousand, or 7% to $8.0 million, from Q1-2019 revenue of $7.5 million. Revenue consisted of the following:

•
Product and other revenue from sale of Mediasite recorder units and server software was $2.1 million in Q1-2020 and $1.8 million in Q1-2019. Average selling price was lower in Q1-2020 as compared to Q1-2019 primarily as a result of a higher sales volume for low-cost recorder options. Recorders sold were substantially less in Q1-2019, partially as a result of the Company's planned reduction of distribution inventory which had an impact of $670 thousand.

•
Services revenue represents the portion of fees charged for Mediasite customer support contracts amortized over the length of the contract, typically 12 months, as well as training, installation, event and content hosting services. Services revenue increased $209 thousand or 4% from $5.8 million in Q1-2019 to $6.0 million in Q1-2020 primarily due to an increase in support contract and events revenue.

•
At December 31, 2019, $10.4 million of revenue was deferred, of which we expect to recognize $8.7 million in the next twelve months, including approximately $3.7 million in the quarter ending March 31, 2020. At September 30, 2019, $11.5 million of revenue was deferred.

•
Other revenue relates to freight charges billed separately to our customers.
Gross Margin
Q1-2020 compared to Q1-2019
Gross margin for Q1-2020 was $5.8 million or 73% of revenue compared to Q1-2019 gross margin of $5.7 million or 75%. The significant components of cost of revenue include:

•
Material and freight costs for the Mediasite recorders. Costs for Q1-2020 Mediasite recorder hardware and other costs totaled $147 thousand, along with $21 thousand of freight costs, and $644 thousand of labor and allocated costs, compared to Q1-2019 Mediasite recorder costs of $258 thousand for hardware and other costs, $53 thousand for freight and $392 thousand of labor and allocated costs. This resulted in gross margin on products of 60% in Q1-2020 and 63% in Q1-2019.

25


•
Services costs. Staff wages and other costs allocated to cost of service revenue were $1.3 million in Q1-2020 and $1.2 million in Q1-2019, resulting in gross margin on services of 77% in Q1-2020 and 79% in Q1-2019.
Operating Expenses
Selling and Marketing Expenses
Selling and marketing expenses include wages and commissions for sales, marketing and business development personnel, print advertising and various promotional expenses for our products. Timing of these costs may vary greatly depending on introduction of new products and services or entrance into new markets, or participation in major tradeshows.
Q1-2020 compared to Q1-2019
Selling and marketing expenses decreased $547 thousand or 14% from $3.9 million in Q1-2019 to $3.4 million in Q1-2020. Differences in the major categories include:

•
Salary, commissions, and benefits expense decreased by $345 thousand as a result of reduced headcount.

•
Travel expenses, including entertainment and meals, decreased by $154 thousand.

Selling and marketing expenses for Sonic Foundry International and Mediasite KK accounted for $182 thousand and $634 thousand respectively, an aggregate increase of $8 thousand from Q1-2019.
We anticipate selling and marketing headcount to remain consistent throughout the remainder of the fiscal year.
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative (“G&A”) expenses consist of personnel and related costs associated with the facilities, finance, legal, human resource and information technology departments, as well as other expenses not fully allocated to functional areas.

Q1-2020 compared to Q1-2019

G&A expenses decreased $97 thousand or 6% from $1.5 million in Q1-2019 to $1.4 million in Q1-2020. Differences in the major categories include:

•
Decrease in compensation and benefits of $212 thousand as a result of reduced headcount.

•
Professional services increased by $100 thousand primarily due to increase in legal and advisory fees.

•
G&A expenses for Sonic Foundry International and Mediasite KK accounted for $17 thousand and $240 thousand respectively, an aggregate increase of $8 thousand from Q1-2019.
We anticipate general and administrative headcount to remain consistent throughout the remainder of the fiscal year.
Product Development Expenses
Product development expenses include salaries and wages of the software research and development staff and an allocation of benefits, facility and administrative expenses.

Q1-2020 compared to Q1-2019
Product development expenses decreased by $243 thousand, or 13% from $1.8 million in Q1-2019 to $1.6 million in Q1-2020. Differences in the major categories include:

•
Decrease in compensation and benefits of $123 thousand as a result of reduced headcount.


26

•
Decrease in professional services of $9 thousand.

•
Product development expense for Sonic Foundry International and Mediasite KK accounted for $118 thousand and $70 thousand respectively, an aggregate decrease of $7 thousand compared to Q1-2019.
We anticipate product development headcount to remain consistent throughout the remainder of the fiscal year. We do not anticipate that any fiscal 2020 software development efforts will qualify for capitalization.

Other Income and Expense, Net
Interest expense for the three months ended December 31, 2019 increased $109 thousand compared to the same period last year, mainly as a result of interest on the Subordinated Promissory Notes with Mr. Burish, the first tranche of which was disbursed on January 4, 2019. Interest payments on the Burish notes are currently being deferred. See Note 4 - Credit Arrangements for further details on the deferred interest. The Company also recorded $14 thousand of interest expense for the three months ended December 31, 2019 related to the accretion of discounts on the PFG Loan and Warrant Debt compared to $13 thousand for the three months ended December 31, 2018. The Company also recorded amortization expense related to the back-end fee on the PFG loan of $13 thousand in both the three month period ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The Company also recorded $34 thousand of interest expense during the three months ended December 31, 2019 related to the accretion of discounts on the Burish notes payable, which was first disbursed in the quarter ended March 31, 2019.
Warrants were also issued in connection with the Burish note. For further details, see Note 4 - Credit Arrangements and Note 2 - Related Party Transactions.
During the three months ended December 31, 2019, a change in fair value of $2 thousand was recorded related to the fair value remeasurement on the derivative liability associated with the Loan and Security Agreement and Warrant Debt with PFG compared to a change in fair value of $15 thousand during the three months ended December 31, 2018.

Foreign Currency Translation Adjustment
The Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries operate in Japan and the Netherlands, and utilize the Japanese Yen and Euro, respectively, as their functional currency. Assets and liabilities of the Company’s foreign operations are translated into US dollars at period end exchange rates whiles revenues and expenses are translated using average rates for the period. Gains and losses from the translation are deferred and included in accumulated other comprehensive loss on the consolidated statements of operations.
For the three months ended December 31, 2019, the Company’s foreign currency translation adjustment was a loss of $8 thousand compared to a gain of $62 thousand for the three months ended December 31, 2018. The loss in fiscal 2020 is attributable to the weakening in the Japanese Yen and the Euro compared to the U.S. dollar during the period as compared to fiscal 2019.
During the three months ended December 31, 2019, the Company recorded an aggregate transaction gain of $15 thousand compared to an aggregate loss of $38 thousand for the three months ended December 31, 2018. The aggregate transaction gain or loss is included in the other expense line of the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company’s primary sources of liquidity are its cash, debt and equity financing. During the first three months of fiscal 2020, the Company used $418 thousand of cash from operating activities compared with $248 thousand generated in the same period of fiscal 2019.
Capital expenditures were $59 thousand in the first three months of fiscal 2020 compared to $83 thousand in the same period in fiscal 2019.
The Company used $320 thousand of cash from financing activities during the first three months of fiscal 2020, for payments on outstanding notes payable and capital leases. For the same period in fiscal 2019, the Company generated $593 thousand of cash for financing activities, mainly due to line of credit proceeds, partially offset by debt payments.

Historically, the Company has relied on the ability to draw proceeds as needed from its revolving line of credit with Silicon Valley Bank to fund operations, which matured on January 31, 2019. The Company did not renew the line of credit prior to the maturity date and the outstanding balance was fully paid.
At December 31, 2019, the Company had $6.4 million outstanding, net of warrant debt and debt discounts, related to notes payable with PFG V and Mr. Burish. The Company made principal payments of $250 thousand on the PFG V debt during the three months ended December 31, 2019 compared to net proceeds of $417 thousand during the three months ended December 31, 2018.

27

At December 31, 2019, approximately $1.0 million of cash and cash equivalents was held by the Company’s foreign subsidiaries.
The Company believes its cash position plus available resources is adequate to accomplish its business plan through at least the next twelve months. We will likely evaluate lease opportunities to finance equipment purchases in the future and anticipate continuing to utilize proceeds from the note purchase agreement to support working capital needs. We may also seek additional equity financing but there are no assurances that these will be on terms acceptable to the Company.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
There have been no material changes from those reported in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year-ended September 30, 2019. At December 31, 2019, $4.7 million of the Company’s $6.4 million in outstanding debt is variable rate. We do not expect that an increase in the level of interest rates would have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements. We monitor our positions with, and the credit quality of, the financial institutions that are party to any of our financial transactions.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Based on evaluations at December 31, 2019, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, with the participation of our management team, have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15 (e) and 15d-15 (e) under the Securities Exchange Act). Disclosure controls and procedures ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC, and that material information relating to the Company is accumulated and communicated to management, including our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of December 31, 2019.
Changes in Internal Controls
On October 1, 2019, we adopted ASC 842. As a result, changes were made to the relevant business processes and related control activities in order to monitor and maintain appropriate controls over financial reporting. During the period covered by the quarterly report on Form 10-Q, the Company has not made any other changes to its internal control over financial reporting (as referred to in Paragraph 4(b) of the Certifications of the Company's principal executive officer and principal financial officer included as exhibits to the report) that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to affect the Company's internal control over financial reporting.
