NOTE 1 — BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

Streamline Health Solutions, Inc. and each of its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Streamline Health, LLC, Avelead Consulting, LLC, Streamline Consulting Solutions, LLC and Streamline Pay & Benefits, LLC, (collectively, unless the context requires otherwise, “we,” “us,” “our,” “Streamline,” or the “Company”), operate in one segment as a provider of healthcare information technology solutions and associated services. The Company provides these capabilities through the licensing of its Coding & CDI, eValuator coding analysis platform, RevID, and other workflow software applications and the use of such applications by software as a service (“SaaS”). The Company also provides audit and coding services to help customers optimize their internal clinical documentation and coding functions, as well as implementation and consulting services to complement its software solutions. The Company’s software and services enable hospitals and integrated healthcare delivery systems in the United States and Canada to capture, store, manage, route, retrieve and process patient clinical, financial and other healthcare provider information related to the patient revenue cycle.

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by us pursuant to the rules and regulations applicable to quarterly reports on Form 10-Q of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Certain information and note disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations, although we believe that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information not misleading. The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Streamline Health Solutions, Inc. and each of its wholly-owned subsidiaries. In the opinion of the Company’s management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the condensed consolidated financial statements have been included. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s most recent annual report on Form 10-K. Operating results for the nine months ended October 31, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending January 31, 2023.

 

Two or more operating segments may be aggregated into a single operating segment if they are considered to be similar. Operating segments are considered to be similar if they can be expected to have essentially the same economic characteristics and future prospects. Using the aggregation guidance, the Company determined that it has one operating segment due to the similar economic characteristics of the Company’s products, product development, distribution, regulatory environment and customer base as a provider of computer software-based solutions and services for acute-care healthcare providers. The Company has two reporting units for evaluation of intangible assets. These two reporting units are the legacy Streamline products and Avelead Consulting, LLC. Refer to “Note 3 – Business Combination and Divestiture”.

 

All amounts in the condensed consolidated financial statements, notes and tables have been rounded to the nearest thousand dollars, except share and per share amounts, unless otherwise indicated. All references to a fiscal year refer to the fiscal year commencing February 1 in that calendar year and ending on January 31 of the following calendar year.

 

NOTE 2 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Our significant accounting policies are presented in “Note 2 – Significant Accounting Policies” in the fiscal year 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Users of financial information for interim periods are encouraged to refer to the notes to the consolidated financial statements contained in the Annual Report on Form 10-K when reviewing interim financial results.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its estimates and judgments, including those related to the recognition of revenue, share-based compensation, capitalization of software development costs, intangible assets, the allowance for doubtful accounts, contingent consideration, and income taxes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) authoritative guidance on fair value measurements establishes a framework for measuring fair value. This guidance enables the reader of the financial statements to assess the inputs used to develop those measurements by establishing a hierarchy for ranking the quality and reliability of the information used to determine fair values. Under this guidance, assets and liabilities carried at fair value must be classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:

 

Level 1: Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 

Level 2: Observable market-based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data.

 

Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data.

 

The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate fair value based on the short-term maturity of these instruments. Cash and cash equivalents are classified as Level 1. There were no transfers of assets or liabilities between Levels 1, 2, or 3 during the nine months ended October 31, 2022 and 2021.

 

The table below provides information on the fair value of our liabilities:

Acquisition earnout liability (1)  $8,833,000   $   $   $8,833,000 
At October 31, 2022                    
Acquisition earnout liability (1)  $8,645,000   $   $   $8,645,000 

 

(1) The fair value of the acquisition earnout liability is based upon a probability-weighted discounted cash flow that was completed at the date of acquisition and updated as of October 31, 2022. The change in the fair value of the acquisition earnout liability decreased $163,000 for the three months ended October, 31, 2022, and decreased $188,000 for the nine months ended October 31, 2022. The change in the fair value is recognized in “Acquisition earnout valuation adjustments” in the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of operations.

 

The fair value of the Company’s term loan under its Second Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement was determined through an analysis of the interest rate spread from the date of closing the loan (August 2021) to the date of the most recent balance sheets, October 31, 2022 and January 31, 2022. The term loan bears interest at a per annum rate equal to the Prime Rate (as published in The Wall Street Journal) plus 1.5%, with a Prime “floor” rate of 3.25%. The prime rate is variable and, thus accommodates changes in the market interest rate. However, the interest rate spread (the 1.5% added to the Prime Rate) is fixed. We estimated the impact of the changes in the interest rate spread by analogizing the effect of the change in the Corporate bond rates, reduced for any changes in the market interest rate. This provided us with an estimated change to the interest rate spread of approximately 0.5% from the date we entered the debt agreement to the end of the third quarter, October 31, 2022 and end of the fiscal year, January 31, 2022. The discount to the value of the debt as of October 31, 2022 and January 31, 2022 was estimated to be $9,674,000 and $9,798,000, or a discount to book value of $201,000 and $202,000, respectively. Long-term debt is classified as Level 2.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

We derive revenue from the sale of internally-developed software, either by licensing for local installation or by a SaaS delivery model, through the Company’s direct sales force or through third-party resellers. Licensed, locally-installed customers on a perpetual model utilize the Company’s support and maintenance services for a separate fee, whereas term-based locally installed license fees and SaaS fees include support and maintenance. We also derive revenue from professional services that support the implementation, configuration, training and optimization of the applications, as well as audit services and consulting services.

 

9

 

 

We recognize revenue in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, under the core principle of recognizing revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.

 

We recognize revenue (Step 5 below) in accordance with that core principle after applying the following steps:

 

  Step 1: Identify the contract(s) with a customer
     
  Step 2: Identify the performance obligations in the contract
     
  Step 3: Determine the transaction price
     
  Step 4: Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract
     
  Step 5: Recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation

 

Contracts may contain more than one performance obligation. Performance obligations are the unit of accounting for revenue recognition and generally represent the distinct goods or services that are promised to the customer. Revenue is recognized net of any taxes collected from customers and subsequently remitted to governmental authorities.

 

If we determine that we have not satisfied a performance obligation, we defer recognition of the revenue until the performance obligation is satisfied. Maintenance and support and SaaS agreements are generally non-cancelable or contain significant penalties for early cancellation, although customers typically have the right to terminate their contracts for cause if we fail to perform material obligations. However, if non-standard acceptance periods, non-standard performance criteria, or cancellation or a right of refund terms exist, revenue may not be recognized until the satisfaction of such criteria.

 

The determined transaction price is allocated based on the standalone selling price of the performance obligations in the contract. Significant judgment is required to determine the standalone selling price (“SSP”) for each performance obligation, the amount allocated to each performance obligation and whether it depicts the amount that the Company expects to receive in exchange for the related product and/or service. The Company recognizes revenue for implementation for certain of its eValuator SaaS solution over the contract term, as it has been determined that those implementation services are not a distinct performance obligation. Services for other SaaS and Software solutions such as CDI, RevID and Compare, have been determined as a distinct performance obligation. For these agreements, the Company estimates SSP of its software licenses using the residual approach when the software license is sold with other services and observable SSPs exist for the other services. The Company estimates the SSP for maintenance, professional services, software as a service and audit services based on observable standalone sales.

 

Contract Combination

 

The Company may execute more than one contract or agreement with a single customer. The Company evaluates whether the agreements were negotiated as a package with a single objective, whether the amount of consideration to be paid in one agreement depends on the price and/or performance of another agreement, or whether the goods or services promised in the agreements represent a single performance obligation. The conclusions reached can impact the allocation of the transaction price to each performance obligation and the timing of revenue recognition related to those arrangements.

The Company has utilized the portfolio approach as the practical expedient. We have applied the revenue model to a portfolio of contracts with similar characteristics where we expected that the financial statements would not differ materially from applying it to the individual contracts within that portfolio.

 

Software Licenses

 

The Company’s software license arrangements provide the customer with the right to use functional intellectual property. Implementation, support, and other services are typically considered distinct performance obligations when sold with a software license unless these services are determined to significantly modify the software. Revenue is recognized at a point in time. Typically, this is upon shipment of components or electronic download of software.

 

10

 

 

Maintenance and Support Services

 

Our maintenance and support obligations include multiple discrete performance obligations, with the two largest being unspecified product upgrades or enhancements, and technical support, which can be offered at various points during a contract period. We believe that the multiple discrete performance obligations within our overall maintenance and support obligations can be viewed as a single performance obligation since both the unspecified upgrades and technical support are activities to fulfill the maintenance performance obligation and are rendered concurrently. Maintenance and support agreements entitle customers to technology support, version upgrades, bug fixes and service packs. We recognize maintenance and support revenue over the contract term.

 

Software-Based Solution Professional Services

 

The Company provides various professional services to customers with software licenses. These include project management, software implementation and software modification services. Revenues from arrangements to provide professional services are generally distinct from the other promises in the contract and are recognized as the related services are performed. Consideration payable under these arrangements is either fixed fee or on a time-and-materials basis and is recognized over time as the services are performed.

 

Software as a Service

 

SaaS-based contracts include a right to use of the Company’s platform and support which represent a single promise to provide continuous access to its software solutions. Implementation services for the Company’s eValuator product are included as part of the single promise for its respective contracts. The Company recognizes revenue for implementation of the eValuator product over the contract term as it is determined that the implementation on eValuator is not a distinct performance obligation. Implementation services for other SaaS products are deemed to be separate performance obligations.

 

Audit Services

 

The Company provides technology-enabled coding audit services to help customers review and optimize their internal clinical documentation and coding functions across the applicable segment of the client’s enterprise. Audit services are a separate performance obligation. We recognize revenue as the services are performed.

 

Disaggregation of Revenue

 

The following table provides information about disaggregated revenue by type and nature of revenue stream:

 

    1    2    3    4 
   Three Months Ended   Nine Months Ended 
   October 31, 2022   October 31, 2021   October 31, 2022   October 31, 2021 
Recurring revenue  $4,329,000   $3,907,000   $12,505,000   $8,536,000 
Non-recurring revenue   1,888,000    1,607,000    5,639,000    2,797,000 
Total revenue:  $6,217,000   $5,514,000   $18,144,000   $11,333,000 

 

The Company includes revenue categories of (i) maintenance and support and (ii) software as a service as recurring revenue. The Company includes revenue categories of (i) software licenses, (ii) professional services, and (iii) audit services as non-recurring revenue.

Business Combinations

 

Acquisitions have been accounted for as business combinations, using the acquisition method and, accordingly, the results of operations of the acquired businesses have been included in the condensed consolidated financial statements since their dates of acquisition. The assets and liabilities assumed of these businesses were recorded in the financial statements at their respective estimated fair values as of the acquisition date. Goodwill as of the acquisition date is measured as the excess of consideration transferred over the net of the acquisition date fair values of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed. While the Company uses its best estimates and assumptions as a part of the purchase price allocation process to accurately value the assets acquired, including intangible assets, and the liabilities assumed at the acquisition date, the Company’s estimates are inherently uncertain and subject to refinement. As a result, during the measurement period, which may be up to one year from the acquisition date, the Company may record adjustments to the fair values of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed, with a corresponding offset to goodwill. Upon the conclusion of the measurement period or final determination of the values of assets acquired or the liabilities assumed, whichever comes first, any subsequent adjustments are reflected in our consolidated statements of operations.

 

Contract Receivables and Deferred Revenues

 

The Company receives payments from customers based upon contractual billing schedules. Contract receivables include amounts related to the Company’s contractual right to consideration for completed performance obligations not yet invoiced. Deferred revenue includes payments received in advance of performance under the contract. The Company’s contract receivables and deferred revenue are reported on an individual contract basis at the end of each reporting period. Contract receivables are classified as current or noncurrent based on the timing of when we expect to bill the customer. Deferred revenue is classified as current or noncurrent based on the timing of when we expect to recognize revenue. In the nine months ended October 31, 2022, the Company recognized approximately $4,918,000 in revenue from deferred revenues outstanding as of January 31, 2022. Revenue allocated to remaining performance obligations was $20,917,000 as of October 31, 2022, of which the Company expects to recognize approximately 63% over the next 12 months and the remainder thereafter.

 

Deferred costs (costs to fulfill a contract and contract acquisition costs)

 

The Company defers the direct costs, which include salaries and benefits, for professional services related to SaaS contracts as a cost to fulfill a contract. These deferred costs will be amortized on a straight-line basis over the period of expected benefit which is the contractual term. As of October 31, 2022 and January 31, 2022, the Company had deferred costs of $103,000 and $125,000, respectively, net of accumulated amortization of $155,000 and $93,000, respectively. Amortization expense of these costs was $22,000 for both the three months ended October 31, 2022 and 2021, and $62,000 and $90,000 for the nine months ended October 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and is included in various costs of revenue in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

 

Contract acquisition costs, which consist of sales commissions paid or payable, is considered incremental and recoverable costs of obtaining a contract with a customer. Sales commissions for initial and renewal contracts are deferred and then amortized on a straight-line basis over the contract term. As a practical expedient, the Company expenses sales commissions as incurred when the amortization period of related deferred commission costs is expected to be one year or less.

 

As of October 31, 2022 and January 31, 2022, deferred commission costs paid and payable, which are included on the consolidated balance sheets within other non-current assets totaled $1,092,000 and $806,000, respectively, net of accumulated amortization of $707,000 and $408,000, respectively. For the three months ended October 31, 2022 and 2021, $110,000 and $88,000, respectively, and for the nine months ended October 31, 2022 and 2021, $298,000 and $248,000, respectively, in amortization expense associated with deferred sales commissions was included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. There were no impairment losses for these capitalized costs for these periods.

 

Equity Awards

 

The Company accounts for share-based payments based on the grant-date fair value of the awards with compensation cost recognized as expense over the requisite service period, and forfeitures are recognized as incurred. For awards to non-employees, the Company recognizes compensation expense in the same manner as if the entity had paid cash for the goods or services. The Company incurred total compensation expense related to share-based awards of $555,000 and $537,000 for the three months ended October 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and $1,212,000 and $1,659,000 in the nine months ended October 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

 

12

 

 

The fair value of the stock options granted was estimated at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option pricing model. Option pricing model input assumptions such as expected term, expected volatility and risk-free interest rate impact the fair value estimate. These assumptions are subjective and are generally derived from external (such as, risk-free rate of interest) and historical data (such as, volatility factor, expected term and forfeiture rates). Future grants of equity awards accounted for as share-based compensation could have a material impact on reported expenses depending upon the number, value and vesting period of future awards.

 

The Company issues restricted stock awards in the form of Company common stock. The fair value of these awards is based on the market close price per share on the grant date. The Company expenses the compensation cost of these awards as the restriction period lapses, which is typically a one- to four-year service period.

 

Income Taxes

 

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and for tax credit and loss carry-forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. In assessing net deferred tax assets, the Company considers whether it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The Company establishes a valuation allowance when it is more likely than not that all or a portion of deferred tax assets will not be realized. Refer to Note 6 – Income Taxes for further details.

 

The Company provides for uncertain tax positions and the related interest and penalties based upon management’s assessment of whether certain tax positions are more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by tax authorities. At October 31, 2022, the Company believes it has appropriately accounted for any uncertain tax positions.

 

Net Loss Per Common Share

 

The Company presents basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) data for the Company’s common stock.

 

The Company’s unvested restricted stock awards are considered non-participating securities because holders are not entitled to non-forfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents during the vesting term. Diluted EPS for the Company’s common stock is computed using the treasury stock method.

Accounting Pronouncements Recently Adopted

 

In July 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-05, Lessors - Certain Leases with Variable Lease Payments to ASC Topic 842, Leases (“ASC 842”) (“ASU 2021-05”). ASU 2021-05 provides additional ASC 842 classification guidance as it relates to a lessor’s accounting for certain leases with variable lease payments. ASU 2021-05 requires a lessor to classify a lease with variable payments that do not depend on an index or rate as an operating lease if either a sales-type lease or direct financing lease classification would trigger a day-one loss. ASU 2021-05 became effective for the Company on February 1, 2022. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements or disclosures.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

 

In November 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASU 2016-13”), which improves guidance around accounting for financial losses on accounts receivable. For smaller reporting entities, ASU 2016-13 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company does not anticipate that the adoption of this ASU will have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

NOTE 3 — BUSINESS COMBINATION AND DIVESTITURE

 

Avelead Acquisition

 

The Company acquired all of the equity interests of Avelead Consulting, LLC (“Avelead”) as part of the Company’s strategic expansion into the acute-care health care revenue cycle management industry on August 16, 2021 (the “Transaction”). The acquisition was completed on August 16, 2021.

 

The aggregate consideration for the purchase of Avelead was approximately $29.7 million (at fair value) consisting of (i) $12.4 million in cash, net of cash acquired, (ii) $0.1 million in holdback, which was paid to the sellers during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021, (iii) $6.5 million in common stock, and (iv) approximately $10.7 million in contingent consideration (see below). The Company issued 5,021,972 shares of its restricted common stock (the “Acquisition Restricted Common Stock”) at closing. The Acquisition Restricted Common Stock has a fair value as of the closing date of the acquisition of $6.5 million. Additionally, the Company contracted two types of contingent consideration; the first is referred to herein as “SaaS Contingent Consideration” and the second is referred to herein as “Renewal Contingent Consideration.” The SaaS Contingent Consideration and Renewal Contingent Consideration had an aggregate value of approximately $10.7 million as of the date of closing. The owners of Avelead are also referred to herein as “Sellers” and are enumerated in the UPA (as defined below).

 

15

 

 

The Company acquired all of the equity interests of Avelead, effective August 16, 2021, pursuant to a Unit Purchase Agreement (hereafter referred to as the “UPA”). The UPA stated that the purchase price for Avelead at closing included a cash payment of $11.9 million. Additionally, the Company paid $285,000 of the Sellers’ closing costs, and $285,000 related to the working capital adjustment as defined in the UPA. Finally, at closing, the Company issued the Acquisition Restricted Common Stock with a fair value of approximately $6.5 million, based on a 30-day average of the closing price of the Company’s common stock prior to the closing date. The SaaS Contingent Consideration and the Renewal Contingent Consideration described in more detail below were included in the UPA as potential future consideration for the Transaction. These are reflected on the Company’s balance sheet as “Acquisition earnout liability.”

 

The Company acquired Avelead on a cash-free and debt-free basis. The Transaction was structured as a purchase of units (equity), however, Avelead was taxed as a partnership. Accordingly, the Company realized a step-up in the tax basis of the assets acquired and the goodwill is tax deductible. The gross deferred tax assets and liabilities will be consolidated, and the gross deferred tax assets have a full valuation allowance.

 

The contingent consideration is comprised of “SaaS Contingent Consideration” and “Renewal Contingent Consideration” which are described in more detail as follows:

 

See Note 11 – Subsequent Events for a description of the company’s cash payment and restricted common stock issued in conjunction with the first year earnout.

 

The SaaS Contingent Consideration is calculated based upon Avelead’s recurring SaaS revenue recognized during the first and second year following the acquisition. The Company will pay the SaaS Contingent Consideration as follows: (i) 50% in cash and (ii) 50% in shares of Company common stock valued at the time the earnout is paid subject to a collar, as described below.

 

The first year of SaaS Contingent Consideration is calculated as 75% of Avelead’s recognized SaaS revenue from September 1, 2021 to August 31, 2022. The first-year payment is subject to a deduction of $665,000 spread equally between the cash and common stock portion of the earnout consideration. The first year earnout will be paid on or about October 15, 2022, subject to a dispute and resolution period. Assuming that Avelead is within 80% of its forecasted SaaS revenue in the first year earnout1, the Company agreed to a floor and ceiling on the value of the Company’s restricted common stock issued as consideration for the earnout. That collar has a floor of $3.50 per share and a ceiling of $5.50 per share for the first year earnout.
   
The second year of SaaS Contingent Consideration is calculated as 40% of Avelead’s recognized SaaS revenue from September 1, 2022 to August 31, 2023. The second year earnout will be paid on or about October 15, 2023, subject to a dispute and resolution period. Assuming that Avelead is within 80% of its forecasted SaaS revenue in the second year earnout1, the Company agreed to a floor and ceiling on the Company’s restricted common stock issued as consideration for the earnout. That collar has a floor of $4.50 per share and a ceiling of $6.50 per share for the second year earnout.

 

The Renewal Contingent Consideration is tied directly to a successful renewal of a specific customer of Avelead. To meet the definition of a renewal, Avelead must achieve a minimum threshold of contracted revenue in an updated, annual, renewed contract with the specified customer. The renewal occurs on or about June 1, 2022 and June 1, 2023. The Company will remit the Renewal Contingent Consideration on or about each of October 15, 2022 and 2023, respectively. The Renewal Contingent Consideration is payable in shares of Company restricted common stock valued as of the date of Closing. Accordingly, upon achieving the Renewal Contingent Consideration, the Company will issue 627,747 shares of restricted common stock on or about each of October 15, 2022 and October 15, 2023, subject to a dispute and resolution period. The Renewal Contingent Consideration is either earned or not earned based upon the renewal of the specified customer at the minimum amount of contracted revenue. There is no pro-ration of the underlying Renewal Contingent Consideration.

 

1 If Avelead does not achieve 80% of its forecasted revenue, the price per share will revert back to the Company’s market price based upon a 30-day average.

Included in the accompanying unaudited pro forma statement of operations for the three months ended October 31, 2021 are $2,595,000 of Avelead revenue and $(1,359,000) of loss from continuing operations. For the nine months ended October 31, 2021, $7,297,000 of Avelead revenue and $(2,727,000) of loss from continuing operations were included in the unaudited pro forma statement of operations. For the three months ended October 31, 2022, Avelead contributed $2,788,000 to the Company’s consolidated revenue and $(553,000) to the Company’s consolidated loss from continuing operations. For the nine months ended October 31, 2022, Avelead contributed $7,827,000 to the Company’s consolidated revenue and $(1,847,000) to the Company’s consolidated loss from continuing operations.

 

The Company entered into one employment agreement and one separation agreement with the two Sellers. Included in the transaction costs related to the Avelead acquisition is the cost of a two-year separation agreement with one Seller, fully expensed at the closing of the transaction. See Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies. The employment agreement is a two-year employment agreement that entitles the Seller to a six-month separation pay in the case of termination without cause. The expense for the employment agreement is recognized ratably over the service period customary with other employment agreements within selling, general, and administrative expense.

 

The Company granted options to purchase 583,333 shares of the Company’s common stock to the Sellers at the closing of the Transaction. These options have a strike price of $1.53 per share, the closing stock price on the trading date immediately preceding the closing. 500,000 options were awarded to one Seller that will vest, monthly, over a three (3) year service period. The remaining 83,333 options were awarded to another Seller and vested immediately upon issuance. The Company utilized the Black-Scholes method to determine the grant-date fair value of these options. The 83,333 options were not exercised prior to their expiration date of November 15, 2021. The 500,000 options have a grant-date fair value of approximately $395,000 and are expensed over the vesting period within selling, general, and administrative expense.

 

Additionally, the Company granted 100,000 restricted stock awards (RSAs) to certain Avelead employees as of the closing date.

 

ECM Assets Divestiture

 

On February 24, 2020, the Company sold a portion of its business (the “ECM Assets”). The Company is reporting the results of operations and cash flows, and related balance sheet items associated with the ECM Assets in discontinued operations in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations, cash flows and balance sheets for the current and comparative prior periods. Refer to Note 9 – Discontinued Operations for details of the Company’s discontinued operations.

 

NOTE 4 — OPERATING LEASES

 

We determine whether an arrangement is a lease at inception. 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 arising from the lease. Operating lease right-of-use assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the expected lease term. Since our lease arrangements do not provide an implicit rate, we use our incremental borrowing rate for the expected remaining lease term at commencement date for new and existing leases in determining the present value of future lease payments. Operating lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

 

Alpharetta Office Lease

 

On October 1, 2021, the Company entered into an agreement with a third-party to sublease its office space in Alpharetta, Georgia, (the “Sublease Agreement”). The sublease term is for 18 months which coincides with the Company’s underlying lease (see below). The Company expects to receive $292,000 from the sublessee over the term of the sublease. The sublease did not relieve the Company of its original obligation under the lease, and therefore the Company did not adjust the operating lease right-of-use asset and related liability. For the three and nine months ended October 31, 2022, the Company recorded $49,000 and $145,000, respectively, as other income related to the sublease.

 

18

 

 

The Company entered into a lease for office space in Alpharetta, Georgia, on March 1, 2020. The lease terminates on March 31, 2023. At inception, the Company recorded a right-of use asset of $540,000, and related current and long-term operating lease obligation in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. As of October 31, 2022, operating lease right-of use assets totaled $80,000, and the associated lease liability is included in current liabilities of $87,000. The Company used a discount rate of 6.5% to the determine the lease liability. For the three and nine months ended October 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company had lease operating costs of approximately $48,000 and $145,000, respectively, for each period.

 

Maturities of operating lease liabilities associated with the Company’s operating lease as of October 31, 2022 are as follows for payments due based upon the Company’s fiscal year:

 

      
2022  $53,000 
2023   36,000

NOTE 5 — DEBT

 

Term Loan Agreement

 

On August 26, 2021, the Company and its subsidiaries entered into the Second Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement with Bridge Bank, a division of Western Alliance Bank (the “Second Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement”). Pursuant to the Second Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement, Bridge Bank agreed to provide the Company and its subsidiaries with a new term loan facility in the maximum principal amount of $10,000,000. Amounts outstanding under the term loan of the Second Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement bear interest at a per annum rate equal to the Prime Rate (as published in The Wall Street Journal) plus 1.5%, with a Prime “floor” rate of 3.25%. Pursuant to the Second Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement, the Company discontinued the existing $3,000,000 revolving credit facility with Bridge Bank. At the time of the discontinuance, there was no outstanding balance on the revolving credit facility.

 

The Second Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement has a five-year term, and the maximum principal amount was advanced in a single-cash advance on or about the closing date. Interest accrued under the Second Amended Loan and Security Agreement is due monthly, and the Company shall make monthly interest-only payments through the one-year anniversary of the closing date. From the first anniversary of the closing date through the maturity date, the Company shall make monthly payments of principal and interest that increase over the term of the agreement. The Second Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement requires principal repayments on the anniversary date of the closing of the debt agreement of $500,000 in the second year, $1,000,000 in the third year, $2,000,000 in the fourth year, and $3,000,000 in the fifth year, respectively, with the remaining outstanding principal balance and all accrued but unpaid interest due in full on the maturity date. The Second Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement may also require early repayments if certain conditions are met. The Second Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement is secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company, its subsidiaries, and certain of its affiliates.

 

The Company recorded $130,000 in deferred financing costs related to the Second Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement. These deferred financing costs are being amortized over the term of the loan. The Company will also incur $200,000 in financing costs at the earlier of the term date of the loan, or pre-payment. These costs are being accreted, through interest expense, to the full value of the $200,000 over the term of the loan.

 

19

 

 

The Second Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement includes customary financial covenants as follows:

 

  a. Minimum Cash. Borrowers shall, at all times, maintain unrestricted cash of Borrowers at Bank in an amount not less than (i) on the Closing Date and for the first eleven (11) months immediately following the Closing Date, Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) and (ii) at all times thereafter, Three Million Dollars ($3,000,000).
     
  b. Maximum Debt to ARR Ratio. Borrowers’ Maximum Debt to ARR Ratio, measured on a quarterly basis as of the last day of each fiscal quarter, shall not be greater than the amount set forth under the heading “Maximum Debt to ARR Ratio” as of, and for each of the dates appearing adjacent to such “Maximum Debt to ARR Ratio”.

 

Quarter Ending    

Maximum Debt

to ARR Ratio

 
October 31, 2021     0.80 to 1.00  
January 31, 2022     0.75 to 1.00  
April 30, 2022     0.65 to 1.00  
July 31, 2022     0.55 to 1.00  
October 31, 2022     0.50 to 1.00  
January 31, 2023     0.45 to 1.00  

 

  c. Maximum Debt to Adjusted EBITDA Ratio. Commencing with the quarter ending April 30, 2023, Borrowers’ Maximum Debt to Adjusted EBITDA Ratio, measured on a quarterly basis as of the last day of each fiscal quarter for the trailing four (4) quarter period then ended, shall not be greater than the amount set forth under the heading “Maximum Debt to Adjusted EBITDA Ratio” as of, and for each of the dates appearing adjacent to such “Maximum Debt to Adjusted EBITDA Ratio”.

January 31, 2024 and on the last day of each quarter thereafter     2.00 to 1.00  

 

  d. Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio. Commencing with the quarter ending April 30, 2023, Borrowers shall maintain a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of not less than 1.20 to 1.00, measured on a quarterly basis as of the last day of each fiscal quarter for the trailing four (4) quarter period then ended.

 

The Second Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement also includes customary negative covenants, subject to exceptions, which limit transfers, capital expenditures, indebtedness, certain liens, investments, acquisitions, dispositions of assets, restricted payments and the business activities of the Company, as well as customary representations and warranties, affirmative covenants and events of default, including cross defaults and a change of control default. The line of credit also is subject to customary prepayment requirements. For the period ended October 31, 2022, the Company has a debt to ARR ratio of 0.55 to 1 and, therefore, was not in compliance with the maximum debt to ARR ratio covenant under the Second Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement. Subsequent to the period ended October 31, 2022, the Company entered into a Second Modification Debt Agreement whereby the existing debt to ARR ratio, among other covenants, was modified. As a result, the Company was in compliance with all modified debt covenants at October 31, 2022.

 

See Note 11 – Subsequent Events for a description of the Second Modification Debt Agreement. On November 29, 2022, the Company entered into a Second Modification Debt Agreement with Bridge Bank to add a $2,000,000 non-formula revolving line of credit and amend its existing covenants.

 

Term Loan and Revolving Credit Facility with Bridge Bank

 

On March 2, 2021, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement, which replaced and superseded the Loan and Security Agreement, consisting of a $3,000,000 revolving credit facility (the “Amended Loan and Security Agreement”). This revolving credit facility was replaced with the Second Amended and Restated Security Agreement (above) that was put in place on August 26, 2021. Accordingly, the Company wrote-off $43,000 of deferred financing costs from this loan as a loss on extinguishment of debt in the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of operations.

Outstanding principal balances on debt related to the new term loan agreement that the Company entered into on August 16, 2021 with Bridge Bank consisted of the following at:

 

   October 31, 2022   January 31, 2022 
Term loan  $9,875,000   $10,000,000 
Financing cost payable   57,000    21,000 
Deferred financing cost   (93,000)   (117,000)
Total   9,839,000    9,904,000

At January 31, 2022, the Company had U.S. federal net operating loss carry forwards of $46,250,000. The Company also had state net operating loss carry forwards of $21,318,000 and Federal R&D credit carry forwards of $1,575,000 and Georgia R&D credit carry forwards of $94,000, all of which expire through fiscal 2041.

 

The effective income tax rate on continuing operations of approximately (0.24)% differs from our combined federal and state statutory rate of 25.15% primarily due to the full valuation allowance the Company currently maintains on its net deferred tax asset.

 

The Company has recorded $318,000 and $315,000 in reserves for uncertain tax positions as of October 31, 2022 and January 31, 2022, respectively.

 

The Company and its subsidiaries are subject to U.S. federal income tax as well as income taxes in multiple state and local jurisdictions. The Company has concluded all U.S. federal tax matters for years through January 31, 2018. All material state and local income tax matters have been concluded for years through January 31, 2017. The Company is no longer subject to IRS examination for periods prior to the tax year ended January 31, 2018; however, carryforward losses that were generated prior to the tax year ended January 31, 2018 may still be adjusted by the IRS if they are used in a future period.

As described in the Company’s definitive proxy statement on Schedule 14A filed with the SEC on July 6, 2021, because there may have been uncertainty regarding the validity or effectiveness of the prior approval of the Charter Amendment, the authorized shares increase effected thereby and the Third Amended 2013 Plan Amendment at the 2021 Annual Meeting, the board of directors of the Company asked the Company’s stockholders to ratify the approval, filing and effectiveness of the Charter Amendment and the approval and effectiveness of the Third Amended 2013 Plan Amendment at a special meeting of the stockholders held on July 29, 2021 (the “Special Meeting”) in order to eliminate such uncertainty . At the Special Meeting, the Company’s stockholders ratified the approval, filing and effectiveness of the Charter Amendment and the approval and effectiveness of the Third Amended 2013 Plan Amendment.

 

At the Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on June 7, 2022, the Company’s stockholders approved an amendment to the Streamline Health Solutions, Inc.

For the three and nine months ended October 31, 2022, the Company incurred approximately $0 and $32,000, respectively, in research and development services provided by AscendTek. Additionally, we assumed a lease for corporate office space from a Seller that is now employed by the Company. This lease term ended February 2022 but was renewed for a term of 12 months. For the three and nine months ended October 31, 2022, the Company recorded rent expense of $18,000 and $55,000, respectively (refer to Note 4 – Operating Leases).

 

NOTE 11 — SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 

We have evaluated subsequent events occurring after October 31, 2022, and based on our evaluation, except as set forth below, we did not identify any events that would have required recognition or disclosure in these condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

Debt Modification

 

On November 29, 2022, the Company executed a Second Modification to the Second Amended and Restated Loan Agreement (the “Second Modification Debt Agreement”). The Second Modification Debt Agreement includes an expansion of the Company’s total borrowing to include a $2 million revolving line of credit. The revolving line of credit will be co-terminus with the term loan and matures on August 26, 2026. There are no requirements to draw on the line of credit. Amounts outstanding under the line of credit portion of the Second Amended and Restated Loan Agreement bear interest at a per annum rate equal to the Prime Rate (as published in The Wall Street Journal) plus 1.5%, with a Prime “floor” rate of 3.25%. The Company paid $20,000 in fees at the closing of the Second Modification Debt Agreement, and added an additional $50,000 to the deferred closing cost that is due upon the early repayment or term of the loan. The aggregate amount of the deferred costs due upon early repayment or term of the loan is $250,000. The Second Modification Debt Agreement is secured by substantially all of our assets. The covenants are amended as follows, including a change to our third quarter, 2022:

 

  Minimum Cash. Borrowers shall, at all times, maintain unrestricted cash of Borrowers at Bank in an amount not less than Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000).

 

23

 

 

  Maximum Debt to ARR Ratio. Borrowers’ Maximum Debt to ARR Ratio, measured on a quarterly basis as of the last day of each fiscal quarter, shall not be greater than the amount set forth under the heading “Maximum Debt to ARR Ratio” as of, and for each of the dates appearing adjacent to such “Maximum Debt to ARR Ratio”.

 

Quarter Ending   Maximum Debt to ARR Ratio
October 31, 2022   0.80 to 1.00
January 31, 2023   0.70 to 1.00
April 30, 2023   0.65 to 1.00
July 31, 2023   0.60 to 1.00
October 31, 2023   0.55 to 1.00
January 30, 2024   0.50 to 1.00

 

  Maximum Debt to Adjusted EBITDA Ratio. Commencing with the quarter ending April 30, 2024, Borrowers’ Maximum Debt to Adjusted EBITDA Ratio, measured on a quarterly basis as of the last day of each fiscal quarter for the trailing four (4) quarter period then ended, shall not be greater than the amount set forth under the heading “Maximum Debt to Adjusted EBITDA Ratio” as of, and for each of the dates appearing adjacent to such “Maximum Debt to Adjusted EBITDA Ratio”.

 

Quarter Ending   Maximum Debt to Adjusted EBITDA Ratio
April 30, 2024   3.50 to 1.00
July 31, 2024 and on the last day of each quarter thereafter   2.00 to 1.00

 

  Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio. Commencing with the quarter ending April 30, 2024, Borrowers shall maintain a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of not less than 1.20 to 1.00, measured on a quarterly basis as of the last day of each fiscal quarter for the trailing four (4) quarter period then ended.

 

With the changes to the covenants through the Second Modification Debt Agreement, the Company was in compliance with all debt covenants as of October 31, 2022.

 

First Year Earnout Payment for Avelead

 

On November 22, 2022, the Company made the first year earnout payment and issued shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, subject to certain restrictions, to the selling shareholders of Avelead in accordance with the Unit Purchase Agreement See Item 1, Note 3 – Business Acquisition and Divestiture. In connection with the first year earnout payment, the Company made cash payments of $2,012,000 and issued 1,243,291 unregistered securities in the form of restricted common stock, par value $0.01 per share, for the SaaS Contingent Consideration and 627,746 unregistered securities in the form of restricted common stock, par value $0.01 per share, for the Renewal Contingent Consideration. The estimated aggregate value of the first year earnout payment is $4,000,000 for the SaaS Contingent Consideration and $1,000,000 for the Renewal Contingent Consideration. The Company has a second earnout under the Unit Purchase Agreement that will be payable on or about October 2023. These liabilities are reflected at the fair value of the future commitment on the Company’s balance sheet, as Acquisition Earnout Liability.

Item 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

We make forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this “Report”) and in other materials we file with the SEC or otherwise make public. This Report, therefore, contains statements about future events and expectations which are forward-looking statements within the meaning of Sections 27A of the Securities Act, as amended, and 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”). In addition, our senior management makes forward-looking statements to analysts, investors, the media and others. Statements with respect to expected revenue, income, receivables, backlog, client attrition, acquisitions and other growth opportunities, sources of funding operations and acquisitions, the integration of our solutions, the performance of our channel partner relationships, the sufficiency of available liquidity, research and development, and other statements of our plans, beliefs or expectations are forward-looking statements. These and other statements using words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “plan,” “project,” “target,” “can,” “could,” “may,” “should,” “will,” “would” and similar expressions also are forward-looking statements. Each forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date of the particular statement. The forward-looking statements we make are not guarantees of future performance, and we have based these statements on our assumptions and analyses in light of our experience and perception of historical trends, current conditions, expected future developments and other factors we believe are appropriate under the circumstances. Forward-looking statements by their nature involve substantial risks and uncertainties that could significantly affect expected results, and actual future results could differ materially from those described in such statements. Management cautions against putting undue reliance on forward-looking statements or projecting any future results based on such statements or present or historical earnings levels.

 

Among the factors that could cause actual future results to differ materially from our expectations are the risks and uncertainties described under “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2022 and in our subsequent filings with the SEC, and include among others, the following:

 

  competitive products and pricing;
     
  product demand and market acceptance;
     
  entry into new markets;
     
 

the extent to which health epidemics and other outbreaks of communicable diseases, including the ongoing coronavirus, or COVID-19, pandemic and the efforts to mitigate it, could disrupt our operations and/or materially and adversely affect our business and financial

conditions;

     
  the possibility that any of the anticipated benefits of the acquisition of Avelead Consulting, LLC (“Avelead”) will not be realized or will not be realized within the expected time period, the businesses of the Company and the Avelead segment may not be integrated successfully, or such integration may be more difficult, time-consuming or costly than expected, or revenues following the Avelead acquisition may be lower than expected;
     
  new product and services development and commercialization;
     
  key strategic alliances with vendors and channel partners that resell our products;
     
  uncertainty in continued relationships with customers due to termination rights;
     
  our ability to control costs;
     
  availability, quality and security of products produced, and services provided by third-party vendors;
     
  the healthcare regulatory environment;
     
  potential changes in legislation, regulation and government funding affecting the healthcare industry;
     
  healthcare information systems budgets;

 

25

 

 

  availability of healthcare information systems trained personnel for implementation of new systems, as well as maintenance of legacy systems;
     
  the success of our relationships with channel partners;
     
  fluctuations in operating results;
     
  our future cash needs;
     
  the consummation of resources in researching acquisitions, business opportunities or financings and capital market transactions;
     
  the failure to adequately integrate past and future acquisitions into our business;
     
  critical accounting policies and judgments;
     
  changes in accounting policies or procedures as may be required by the Financial Accounting Standards Board or other standard-setting organizations;
     
  changes in economic, business and market conditions impacting the healthcare industry and the markets in which we operate;
     
  our ability to maintain compliance with the terms of our credit facilities; and
     
  our ability to maintain compliance with the continued listing standards of the Nasdaq Capital Market (“Nasdaq”).

 

Some of these factors and risks have been, and may further be, exacerbated by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

 

Most of these risk factors are beyond our ability to predict or control. Any of these factors, or a combination of these factors, could materially affect our future financial condition or results of operations and the ultimate accuracy of our forward-looking statements. There also are other factors that we may not describe (generally because we currently do not perceive them to be material) that could cause actual results to differ materially from our expectations. We expressly disclaim any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.

 

On August 16, 2021, the Company entered into a Purchase Agreement to acquire Avelead, a recognized leader in providing solutions and services to improve Revenue Integrity for healthcare providers nationwide. The Company believes Avelead’s solutions will complement and extend the value the Company can deliver to its customers. Operations for Avelead are included in the Company’s consolidated financial information from the acquisition date. Refer to Note 3 – Business Combination and Divestiture in our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item I, “Financial Statements” for further information on the Avelead acquisition.

 

During the third quarter ended October 31, 2022, the Company strengthened its balance sheet through a capital raise. On October 24, 2022, the Company entered into purchase agreements with certain investors (the “2022 Offering”). Under these purchase agreements, the Company agreed to issue and sell, in a registered direct offering, an aggregate of 6,299,989 shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, at a purchase price of $1.32 per share. The gross proceeds to the Company from the 2022 Offering were approximately $8.3 million. The Company intends to use the proceeds of the 2022 Offering for general corporate purposes. The 2022 Offering closed on October 26, 2022.

 

In addition, we expanded our relationship with Bridge Bank in the fourth quarter of 2022. On November 29, 2022, the Company executed a Second Modification to the Second Amended and Restated Loan Agreement (“Second Modification Debt Agreement”). The Second Modification Debt Agreement includes an expansion of the Company’s total borrowing to include a $2,000,000 non-formula revolving line of credit. The revolving line of credit will be co-terminus with the term loan, which matures on August 26, 2026. The Second Modification Debt Agreement also includes new covenants through the term of the Second Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement. See Item 1, Note 11 - Subsequent Events, for more discussion on the Second Modification Debt Agreement.

Software licenses —For the three and nine months ended October 31, 2022, revenue from software licenses decreased by $150,000 and $162,000, respectively, compared to the prior year periods. The Company has shifted its business from perpetual software licenses to a software as a service (SaaS) model. The software license sales come solely from our channel partners; therefore, the periodic amounts are less predictable and consistent than recurring revenues.

 

Professional services For the three and nine months ended October 31, 2022, revenue from professional services increased by $326,000 and $2,500,000, respectively, compared to the prior year periods. The increase in professional services includes $314,000 and $2,228,000, respectively, of Avelead professional services revenue increases as compared to the prior year periods. The Company is primarily focused on SaaS growth, and, accordingly, is not expecting growth in professional services.

 

Audit services — For the three and nine months ended October 31, 2022, revenue from audit services increased $105,000 and $504,000, respectively, compared to the prior year periods. The increases for both comparable periods include revenue from new audit service agreements. The Company is primarily focused on utilizing audit services to support its technology, eValuator. Accordingly, the Company expects modest revenue growth in the future in audit services.

 

Maintenance and support — For the three and nine months ended October 31, 2022, revenue from maintenance and support increased $38,000 and $122,000, respectively, compared to the prior year periods. The increase is due to new maintenance subscriptions on previously licensed software. The Company does not anticipate maintenance and support growth due to the Company’s shift to its growth products that are classified as SaaS.

 

Software as a Service (SaaS) — For the three and nine months ended October 31, 2022, revenue from SaaS increased $384,000 and $3,847,000, respectively, compared to the prior year periods. The increases include $430,000 and $3,554,000, respectively, of SaaS revenue increases from Avelead. The remaining increase in SaaS revenue for the three month period ended October 31,2022 is due to new customers on the Company’s eValuator product offset by a customer termination. The remaining increase in SaaS revenue for the nine months ended October 31,2022 is due to new customers on the Company’s eValuator product. The Company expects continued growth in its SaaS business.

 

We have approximately $4.5 million in annualized contract value of contracts to be implemented as of November 30, 2022. The industry has been impacted post COVID by hospital personnel shortages and a backlog of hospital IT projects. This has resulted in slower contract to implementation timelines, which is delaying revenue recognition for such contracts. It is uncertain how long these headwinds will impact our implementation timelines. However, strong growth in SaaS is expected to continue as these contracts are implemented. The Company expects to see double-digit percentage growth, sequentially, and year-over-year, in Fiscal 2023 from its sales booking activity in Fiscal 2022.

   October 31, 2022   October 31, 2021   Change   % Change

Cost of professional services   3,288,000    1,411,000    1,877,000    133%
Cost of audit services   1,426,000    1,174,000    252,000    21%
Cost of maintenance and support   220,000    223,000    (3,000)   (1)%
Cost of software as a service   4,771,000    2,276,000    2,495,000    110%
Total Cost of Sales   9,983,000    5,496,000    4,487,000    82%

 

The increase in overall cost of sales for the three and nine months ended October 31, 2022 from the comparable prior year periods are primarily due to Avelead, which represents $582,000 and $3,857,000 of the increase, respectively, as compared to prior year periods. The incremental increase in cost of goods sold for Avelead was driven by additional personnel and third-party content providers related to the Company’s SaaS solutions.

 

The cost of software licenses reflects amortization of capitalized software expenditures. The amounts for the three and nine months ended October 31, 2022 decreased compared to the respective prior year periods due to a reduction in research and development investments for the Company’s CDI/Abstracting products, resulting in lower capitalized software amortization expense.

 

The cost of professional services includes compensation and benefits for personnel and related expenses. For the three and nine months ended October 31, 2022, Avelead comprises $216,000 and $1,932,000 of the increase as compared to the respective prior year periods.

 

The cost of audit services includes compensation and benefits for audit services personnel, and related expenses. These costs for the three and nine months ended October 31, 2022 increased compared to the respective prior year periods due to an increase in employee related expenses that are tied to increased audit service fees.

 

The cost of maintenance and support includes compensation and benefits for client support personnel and the cost of third-party content provider contracts. The costs for the three and nine months ended October 31, 2022 remained consistent with the comparable prior year periods.

 

The cost of SaaS solutions is comprised of salaries, amortization of capitalized software development, and third-party content provider costs. For the three and nine months ended October 31, 2022, Avelead comprised $366,000 and $1,925,000 of the increase as compared to the respective prior year periods. The remaining increases were driven by personnel and third-party expenses driven by increased volume offset by a decrease in amortization of capitalized software.

 

Certain costs in SaaS solutions are tied to volumes, such as number of users. These costs include coding tools supporting eValuator and a third-party system that is intended to help move data from the hospital system to our systems. Included in cost of SaaS solutions are non-cash expenditures of $1,547,000 including the amortization of capitalized software which impacts margin by 17%. Excluding these non-cash items for the nine months ended October 31, 2022, the remaining cost of SaaS solutions was $3,224,000, or 35% of sales. Current margins are lower than we expect in the future for SaaS solutions as we are implementing a large number of new customers. Certain costs, such as labor and third-party content providers, impact the gross margin before a customer is fully implemented and revenue is recognized.

Total selling, general, and administrative expense   12,488,000    8,507,000    3,981,000    47%

 

General and administrative expenses consist primarily of compensation and related benefits, reimbursable travel and entertainment expenses related to our executive and administrative staff, general corporate expenses, amortization of intangible assets, and occupancy costs. For the three and nine months ended October 31, 2022, Avelead comprised $59,000 and $1,282,000 of the increase as compared to the respective prior year periods. For the three and nine months ended October 31, 2022, increases of $436,000 and $1,127,000, respectively, were driven by employee related expenses, such as salaries, performance bonuses, and severance expense, as part of the Company’s strategic plan to simplify the Company’s business in order to drive sustainable growth and improved profitability and cash flows. The Company previously announced an “alignment” bringing the Avelead business together with its eValuator business. The resulting severance expense is included in each of General and administrative expenses and Sales and marketing expense.

 

Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of compensation and related benefits and travel and entertainment expenses related to our sales and marketing staff, as well as advertising and marketing expenses, including trade shows. For the three and nine months ended October 31, 2022, Avelead comprised $240,000 and $1,181,000 of the increase as compared to the respective prior periods. For the three and nine months ended October 31, 2022, increases of $175,000 and $1,143,000, respectively, were primarily driven by an increase in salaries, benefits, and accrued severance associated with the Company’s previously announced alignment, and expansion and upgrade of its direct and indirect sales personnel. The Company has seen an increase in travel to customer sites, as well as industry trade shows, resulting in greater travel expense. The Company expects that face-to-face meetings with hospital systems will result in higher sales bookings.

Total research and development cost   5,977,000    4,328,000    1,649,000    38%

 

Research and development expense consists primarily of compensation and related benefits and the use of independent contractors for specific near-term development projects. Research and development expenses for the three and nine months ended October 31, 2022 increased by approximately $415,000 and $1,247,000, respectively, compared to the prior year periods. The increase of $415,000 for the three months ended October 31, 2022 is primarily driven by a $182,000 increase in expenses related to Avelead. The increase of $1,247,000 in research and development expenses for the nine months ended October 31, 2022 from the comparable prior year period includes a $1,073,000 increase in expenses related to Avelead. The Company has previously announced that both research and development expense and capitalized research and development cost will be higher in the third and fourth quarters of fiscal year 2022 due to an emphasis on improving the architecture and data management inside Avelead’s technology stack. The Company expects to invest approximately $450,000 in these enhancements in the second half of fiscal 2022.

Capitalized research and development costs for the three and nine months ended October 31, 2022 increased by approximately $212,000 and $402,000, respectively, compared to the prior year periods. The increase of $212,000 for the three months ended October 31, 2022 included an increase of $231,000 related to Avelead. The increase of $402,000 for the nine months ended October 31, 2022 includes an increase of $559,000 related to Avelead. These increases are primarily related to the improvements for the architecture and data management on the Avelead technology.

 

We expect total research and development costs (primarily research and development expense) will continue at their third quarter levels through the first quarter of Fiscal 2023. As the Company completes its investment in the architecture of the Avelead technology, the Company plans to replace this effort with a project for Artificial Intelligence (AI). This AI project will be focused on the best use of AI within the eValuator product. For all of fiscal 2023, the Company expects to have investments in its technology to be between 10% and 15% higher than that which was experienced in fiscal 2022.

Interest expense consists of interest associated with the term loan, deferred financing costs, less interest related to capitalization of software. Interest expense increased for the three and nine months ended October 31, 2022 from the comparable prior year period primarily due to the $10,000,000 term loan with Bridge Bank (See Note 5 – Debt) and increased interest rates. Further, interest rates have increased at an accelerated pace in Fiscal 2022. The Federal Reserve has been reacting to inflation through interest rate increases. This is expected to continue at a slower pace than that experienced in Fiscal 2022. The interest rate increases that have been put into effect to date, are expected to continue to increase interest expense (year over year) into Fiscal 2023.

Acquisition earnout valuation adjustments for the three and nine months ended October 31, 2022 includes a valuation adjustment of $163,000 and $188,000, respectively, compared to expense of $417,000 for the prior year three and nine-month period. The valuation adjustment is related to the acquisition earnout liabilities associated with the Avelead acquisition (Refer to Note 3 – Business Combination and Divestiture of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item I, “Financial Statements”).

 

Other income for the three and nine months ended October 31, 2022 includes $49,000 and $145,000, respectively, related to the sublease of the Alpharetta location (Refer to Note 4 – Operating Leases of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item I, “Financial Statements”). Forgiveness of PPP loan and accrued interest for the three and nine months ended October 31, 2021 reflects the financial impact of the $2,301,000 PPP loan being forgiven, along with the accrued interest of $26,000 also being forgiven.

 

Provision for Income Taxes

 

We recorded income tax expense of $9,000 and $4,000 for the three months ended October 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and income tax expense of $22,000 and $9,000 for the nine months ended October 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, which is comprised of estimated federal, state and local income tax provisions. The Company has a substantial amount of net operating losses for federal and state income tax purposes.

 

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

 

In order to provide investors with greater insight and allow for a more comprehensive understanding of the information used by management and the Board of Directors in its financial and operational decision-making, the Company has supplemented the condensed consolidated financial statements presented on a GAAP basis in this Report with the following non-GAAP financial measures: EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin and Adjusted EBITDA per diluted share.

 

These non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of Company results as reported under GAAP. The Company compensates for such limitations by relying primarily on our GAAP results and using non-GAAP financial measures only as supplemental data. We also provide a reconciliation of non-GAAP to GAAP measures used. Investors are encouraged to carefully review this reconciliation. In addition, because these non-GAAP measures are not measures of financial performance under GAAP and are susceptible to varying calculations, these measures, as defined by us, may differ from and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.

 

EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, and Adjusted EBITDA per diluted share

 

We define: (i) EBITDA as net earnings (loss) before net interest expense, income tax expense (benefit), depreciation and amortization; (ii) Adjusted EBITDA as net earnings (loss) before net interest expense, income tax expense (benefit), depreciation, amortization, share-based compensation expense, transaction related expenses and other expenses that do not relate to our core operations such as severances and impairment charges; (iii) Adjusted EBITDA Margin as Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of GAAP net revenue; and (iv) Adjusted EBITDA per diluted share as Adjusted EBITDA divided by adjusted diluted shares outstanding. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin and Adjusted EBITDA per diluted share are used to facilitate a comparison of our operating performance on a consistent basis from period to period and provide for a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting our business than GAAP measures alone. These measures assist management and the board and may be useful to investors in comparing our operating performance consistently over time as they remove the impact of our capital structure (primarily interest charges), asset base (primarily depreciation and amortization), items outside the control of the management team (taxes) and expenses that do not relate to our core operations including: transaction-related expenses (such as professional and advisory services), corporate restructuring expenses (such as severances) and other operating costs that are expected to be non-recurring. Adjusted EBITDA removes the impact of share-based compensation expense, which is another non-cash item. Adjusted EBITDA per diluted share includes incremental shares in the share count that are considered anti-dilutive in a GAAP net loss position.

 

The Board of Directors and management also use these measures (i) as one of the primary methods for planning and forecasting overall expectations and for evaluating, on at least a quarterly and annual basis, actual results against such expectations; and (ii) as a performance evaluation metric in determining achievement of certain executive and associate incentive compensation programs.

 

31

 

 

Our lender uses a measurement that is similar to the Adjusted EBITDA measurement described herein to assess our operating performance. The lender under our Second Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement requires delivery of compliance reports certifying compliance with financial covenants, certain of which are based on a measurement that is similar to the Adjusted EBITDA measurement reviewed by our management and Board of Directors.

 

EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA Margin are not measures of liquidity under GAAP or otherwise and are not alternatives to cash flow from continuing operating activities, despite the advantages regarding the use and analysis of these measures as mentioned above. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, and Adjusted EBITDA per diluted share, as disclosed in this Report have limitations as analytical tools, and you should not consider these measures in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP; nor are these measures intended to be measures of liquidity or free cash flow for our discretionary use. Some of the limitations of EBITDA and its variations are:

 

  EBITDA does not reflect our cash expenditures or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;
     
  EBITDA does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs;
     
  EBITDA does not reflect the interest expense, or the cash requirements to service interest or principal payments under our Second Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement;
     
  EBITDA does not reflect income tax payments that we may be required to make; and
     
  Although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized often will have to be replaced in the future, and EBITDA does not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements.

 

Adjusted EBITDA has all the inherent limitations of EBITDA. To properly and prudently evaluate our business, the Company encourages readers to review the GAAP financial statements included elsewhere in this Report, and not rely on any single financial measure to evaluate our business. We also strongly urge readers to review the reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most comparable GAAP measure in this section, along with the condensed consolidated financial statements included above.

 

The following table reconciles EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to net loss from continuing operations, and Adjusted EBITDA per diluted share to loss per diluted share for the three and nine months ended October 31, 2022 (amounts in thousands, except per share data). All of the items included in the reconciliation from EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to net loss and the related per share calculations are either recurring non-cash items, or items that management does not consider in assessing our on-going operating performance. In the case of the non-cash items, management believes that investors may find it useful to assess the Company’s comparative operating performance because the measures without such items are less susceptible to variances in actual performance resulting from depreciation, amortization and other expenses that do not relate to our core operations and are more reflective of other factors that affect operating performance. In the case of items that do not relate to our core operations, management believes that investors may find it useful to assess our operating performance if the measures are presented without these items because their financial impact does not reflect ongoing operating performance.

Application of Critical Accounting Policies

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Management considers an accounting policy to be critical if the accounting policy requires management to make particularly difficult, subjective, or complex judgments about matters that are inherently uncertain. A summary of our critical accounting policies is included in Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2022. There have been no material changes to the critical accounting policies disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2022.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

The Company’s liquidity is dependent upon numerous factors including: (i) the timing and amount of revenue and collection of contractual amounts from customers, (ii) amounts invested in research and development and capital expenditures, and (iii) the level of operating expenses, all of which can vary significantly from quarter to quarter. The Company’s primary cash requirements include regular payment of payroll and other business expenses, principal and interest payments on debt and capital expenditures. Capital expenditures generally include computer hardware and computer software to support internal development efforts or SaaS data center infrastructure. Operations are funded with cash generated by operations and borrowings under credit facilities.

 

On October 24, 2022, the Company entered into purchase agreements with certain investors pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue and sell in a registered direct offering an aggregate of 6,299,989 shares of common stock, par value (the “2022 Offering”) $0.01 per share at a purchase price of $1.32 per share. The gross proceeds to the Company from the 2022 Offering were approximately $8.3 million. The Company intends to use the proceeds of the 2022 Offering for general corporate purposes. The 2022 Offering closed on October 26, 2022.

 

On February 25, 2021, the Company entered into an underwriting agreement with Craig-Hallum Capital Group LLC, as the sole managing underwriter, relating to the underwritten public offering of an aggregate of 10,062,500 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share, which included 1,312,500 shares of common stock sold pursuant to the underwriter’s exercise of an option to purchase additional shares of common stock to cover over-allotments (the “2021 Offering”). The price to the public in the 2021 Offering was $1.60 per share of common stock. The gross proceeds to the Company from the 2021 Offering were approximately $16,100,000, before deducting underwriting discounts, commissions, and estimated offering expenses. The 2021 Offering closed on March 2, 2021.

 

On May 24, 2021, the Company amended its Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, to increase the total number of authorized shares of the Company’s common stock from 45,000,000 shares to 65,000,000 shares (the “Charter Amendment”). The Charter Amendment was initially approved by the board of directors of the Company, subject to stockholder approval, approved by the Company’s stockholders at the 2021 Annual Meeting of Stockholders of the Company, held on May 20, 2021 (the “2021 Annual Meeting”), and ratified by the Company’s stockholders on July 29, 2021 at the Special Meeting (as defined and described in further detail below).

 

Also, at the 2021 Annual Meeting, the Company’s stockholders approved an amendment to the Streamline Health Solutions, Inc. Third Amended and Restated 2013 Stock Incentive Plan to increase the number of shares of the Company’s common stock authorized for issuance thereunder by 2,000,000 shares, from 6,223,246 shares to 8,223,246 shares (the “Third Amended 2013 Plan Amendment”).

 

As described in the Company’s definitive proxy statement on Schedule 14A filed with the SEC on July 6, 2021, because there may have been uncertainty regarding the validity or effectiveness of the prior approval of the Charter Amendment, the authorized shares increase effected thereby and the Third Amended 2013 Plan Amendment at the Annual Meeting, the board of directors of the Company asked the Company’s stockholders to ratify the approval, filing and effectiveness of the Charter Amendment and the approval and effectiveness of the Third Amended 2013 Plan Amendment at a special meeting of the stockholders held on July 29, 2021 in order to eliminate such uncertainty (the “Special Meeting”). At the Special Meeting, the Company’s stockholders ratified the approval, filing and effectiveness of the Charter Amendment and the approval and effectiveness of the Third Amended 2013 Plan Amendment.

 

At the Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on June 7, 2022, the Company’s stockholders approved an amendment to the Streamline Health Solutions, Inc. Third Amended and Restated 2013 Stock Incentive Plan to increase the number of shares of the Company’s common stock authorized for issuance thereunder by 2,000,000 shares, from 8,223,246 shares to 10,223,246 shares. The Company’s stockholders also approved an amendment to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, to increase the total number of authorized shares of the Company’s common stock from 65,000,000 shares to 85,000,000 shares.

 

On October 24, 2022, the Company entered into purchase agreements (collectively, the “Purchase Agreements”) with purchasers named therein (the “Purchasers”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue and sell in a registered direct offering an aggregate of 6,299,989 shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, at a purchase price of $1.32 per share (the “2022 Offering”). The gross proceeds to the Company from the 2022 Offering were approximately $8.3 million. The Company intends to use the proceeds of the Offering for general corporate purposes. The 2022 Offering closed on October 26, 2022.

The Company has liquidity through the Second Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement described in more detail in Note 5 – Debt in our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item I, “Financial Statements”. The Company has a term loan facility with an initial, maximum, principal amount of $10,000,000. Amounts outstanding under the Second Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement bear interest at a per annum rate equal to the Prime Rate (as published in The Wall Street Journal) plus 1.5%, with a Prime “floor” rate of 3.25%. Pursuant to the Second Amended Loan and Security Agreement, the Company’s prior $3,000,000 revolving credit facility with Bridge Bank was terminated. At the time of the discontinuance, there was no outstanding balance on the revolving credit facility.

 

The Second Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement includes customary financial covenants, including the requirements that the Company achieve certain EBITDA levels and fixed coverage ratios and maintain certain cash balances and certain recurring revenue levels. The Second Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement also includes customary negative covenants, subject to exceptions, which limit transfers, capital expenditures, indebtedness, certain liens, investments, acquisitions, dispositions of assets, restricted payments, and the business activities of the Company, as well as customary representations and warranties, affirmative covenants and events of default, including cross defaults and a change of control default. As of October 31, 2022, the Company was in compliance with all debt covenants under the Second Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement.

 

On November 29, 2022, we executed a Second Modification to the Second Amended and Restated Loan Agreement (“Second Modification Debt Agreement”). The Second Modification Debt Agreement includes an expansion of the Company’s total borrowing to include a $2 million revolving line of credit. This is a committed revolving line that can be drawn at anytime as long as we are not in breach of the debt agreement. The revolving line of credit is co-terminus with the term loan, August 26, 2026. The Second Modification Debt Agreement also includes new covenants through the term. See Item 1, Note 11 - Subsequent Events, for more discussion on the Second Modification Debt Agreement. The Second Modification Debt Agreement increases the borrowing capacity of the Company through a non-formula revolving line of credit of $2,000,000.

 

On November 22, 2022, we paid the first year earnout payment to the selling shareholders of Avelead in accordance with the Unit Purchase Agreement See Item 1, Note 3 – Business Acquisition and Divestiture. The Company issued cash payments of $2,012,000 and restricted common stock, $0.01 par value, of 1,243,291 for the SaaS Contingent Consideration and 627,746 for the Renewal Contingent Consideration. The estimated aggregate value of the first year earnout is $4,000,000 for the SaaS Contingent Consideration and $1,000,000 for the Renewal Contingent Consideration. The Company has a second earnout due under the Unit Purchase Agreement due on or about October 2023. These liabilities are reflected at the net present value of the future commitment on the Company’s balance sheet, as Acquisition Earnout Liability.

 

The Company believes that cash flows from operations, the cash from the 2022 Offering and available credit facilities are adequate to fund current obligations for the next twelve months from issuance of these financial statements. Cash and cash equivalent balances at October 31, 2022 and January 31, 2022 were approximately $11,699,000 and $9,885,000 respectively. Continued expansion may require the Company to take on additional debt or raise capital through the issuance of additional equity securities, or a combination of both. There can be no assurance the Company will be able to obtain the capital required to fund further expansion.

 

The Company has cash on its balance sheet of $11,699,000 at October 31, 2022. The Company believes that its cash on-hand, along with the term debt and new revolving credit line is sufficient to support its operations until it is able to generate cash from operations.

Refer to Note 5 - Debt for additional information. The term loan payable as of October 31, 2022 and January 31, 2022 was bank term debt under the Second Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement. The Company’s PPP loan was forgiven in June 2021.

The higher use of cash from operating activities is due to the higher net loss from operations for the nine months ended October 31, 2022. The Company had a higher net loss from operations and higher non-cash adjustments to net loss primarily due to higher rates of amortization associated with the Avelead acquisition. For the nine months ended October 31, 2021, a non-cash adjustment for forgiveness of the PPP loan in the amount of $2,301,000 and accrued interest of $26,000 is included.

Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

 

As a “smaller reporting company,” as defined by Item 10 of Regulation S-K, we are not required to provide this information.

 

Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Our President and Chief Executive Officer (who serves as our principal executive officer) and our Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer (who serves as our principal financial officer) have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e)) as of October 31, 2022. Based on that evaluation, our President and Chief Executive Officer and Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of October 31, 2022.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

On August 16, 2021, the Company completed the acquisition of Avelead (Refer to Note 3 – Business Combination and Divestiture in our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item I, “Financial Statements” for further information on the Avelead acquisition). In accordance with the general guidance issued by the staff of the SEC, Avelead was excluded from the scope of management’s report on internal control over financial reporting for the year ending January 31, 2022. As part of the ongoing integration of Avelead, we are in the process of incorporating the controls and related procedures. However, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the quarter ended October 31, 2022 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

 

In connection with the acquisition, we have performed additional analyses and other procedures to enable management to conclude that our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report fairly, in all material respects, our financial condition and results of operations as of and for the nine months ended October 31, 2022.

 

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

 

We are, from time to time, a party to various legal proceedings and claims, which arise in the ordinary course of business. We are not aware of any legal matters that could have a material adverse effect on our consolidated results of operations, financial position, or cash flows.

 

Item 1A. RISK FACTORS

 

An investment in our common stock or other securities involves a number of risks. You should carefully consider each of the risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 31, 2022 which Annual Report includes a detailed discussion of the Company’s risk factors.
