TIGERLOGIC CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

December 31, 2014

 

1.              INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial information furnished herein reflects all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring items, which in the opinion of management are necessary to fairly state TigerLogic Corporation and its subsidiaries’ (collectively, the “Company” or “we,” “us” or “our”) financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the dates and periods presented and to make such information not misleading. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been omitted pursuant to rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”); nevertheless, management of the Company believes that the disclosures herein are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2014, contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on June 27, 2014. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2014, are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for any other interim period or the fiscal year ending March 31, 2015.

 

On November 15, 2013, the Company completed the sale of its assets dedicated to the multidimensional database management system (“MDMS”) and related connectivity products known as the MDMS family of products, including D3, mvBase, mvEnterprise and the Pick connectivity products (the “MDMS Business”), and the related underlying enterprise resource planning (“ERP”) platform required to support the MDMS Business, to Rocket Software, Inc. (“Rocket”). As a result of this divestiture, the historical results of the MDMS Business have been reclassified and presented as discontinued operations for prior year periods presented. See Note 3 for additional information related to the disposition of the MDMS Business. Unless otherwise noted, all reported amounts are from continuing operations.

 

Certain amounts in prior year’s unaudited condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss) have been reclassified to conform to current year’s financial statement presentation.

 

2.              GOODWILL IMPAIRMENT

 

The Company reviews goodwill and other long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. During the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2014, the Company’s market capitalization fell below its net book value for an extended period of time. The Company operates as a single reporting unit. As a result, Company management conducted the first step of a goodwill impairment test as of December 31, 2014 with the assistance of an independent valuation consultant utilizing both a market capitalization approach, including an estimated control premium, as well as a discounted cash flow approach, with key assumptions including projected future cash flows and a risk-adjusted discount rate.  Both approaches resulted in an estimated fair value of the Company’s reporting unit below net book value as of December 31, 2014. As such, the Company initiated the second step of the goodwill impairment test to measure the amount of impairment. The Company analyzed the fair value of certain assets including its developed technology, trade names, customer relationships, and property. Based on the work performed, the Company concluded that an impairment loss existed as of December 31, 2014. Accordingly, the Company recorded a non-cash goodwill impairment charge to fully write-off the book value of its goodwill in the amount of approximately $18.2 million during the quarter ended December 31, 2014. Also, prior to performing the second step in the goodwill impairment analysis, the Company assessed long-lived assets including property and equipment and intangible assets for impairment. The Company’s conclusion was that such long-lived assets were not impaired as of December 31, 2014.

3.              DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS - BUSINESS DIVESTITURE

 

On November 15, 2013, the Company completed the sale of the MDMS Business, and the related underlying ERP platform required to support the MDMS Business, to Rocket for a total sale price of approximately $22.0 million (the “Sale”), of which approximately $19.8 million was received at closing and the remaining $2.2 million was released from escrow and received in November 2014. As a result of this divestiture, the historical results of the MDMS Business have been reclassified and presented as discontinued operations for all periods presented.  Also, in connection with, and effective on, the closing of the Sale, the Company assigned to Rocket its Lease Agreement with The Irvine Company, dated November 9, 2004, as amended by the First Amendment thereto dated December 7, 2009. The lease was for approximately 15,000 square feet of office space in Irvine, California and runs through October 2015.  Rocket agreed to allow the Company to continue to occupy a portion of the space until April 2014 when the Company relocated to a new facility to accommodate the personnel previously employed at the premises and continuing with the Company following the Sale.

 

In connection with the Sale, the parties also entered, at closing, into several ancillary and related agreements, including a transition services agreement designed to facilitate the transition of the MDMS Business to Rocket and minimize disruptions to the Company’s retained businesses, and an intellectual property license agreement, which will permit Rocket to use certain intellectual property owned by the Company and will permit the Company to use certain intellectual property owned by Rocket following the Sale. The costs of providing these services were considered immaterial and therefore were not included in discontinued operations on the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive loss.

 

As of December 31, 2014, the Company has not had and does not anticipate generating any future cash flows related to the MDMS Business.

 

The financial results of the discontinued operations for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2013 were as follows (in thousands):

4.              STORYCODE WINDDOWN

 

During the quarter ended December 31, 2014, the Company wound down its minor digital publishing services, referred to as Storycode Services, to focus its resources on the Postano and Omnis product lines. In connection with this decision, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with two individuals (“Buyers”) who were previously employed by the Company to manage the Storycode Services. The Company assigned to Buyers all of the intellectual property rights related to the name “Storycode” and certain rights related thereto, and agreed to share certain accounts receivable related to the Storycode Services. Buyers and the Company also agreed to a mutual release of all claims against each other. As a result of assigning the “Storycode” name to Buyers, the Company wrote off the remaining balance of the intangible asset of approximately $65,000 related to the Storycode trade name. The Company retained the technology obtained as part of the acquisition of Storycode, Inc. in January 2013 that is currently being used in the Postano subscription and service offerings and approximately $250,000 of accounts receivable attributable to the Storycode Services, and assigned to Buyers approximately $230,000 of accounts receivable attributable to the Storycode Services, of which approximately $220,000 was remitted to Buyers in January 2015. The remaining amount payable to Buyers is included in accrued liabilities in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2014.

 

Historically, Storycode Services revenues have not been significant and the Company does not expect any future revenues related to Storycode Services.

5.              STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

 

The Company has a stock option plan that provides for the granting of stock options, restricted stock and restricted stock units to directors, employees and consultants. The Company also has an employee stock purchase plan allowing employees to purchase the Company’s common stock at a discount.

 

Total stock-based compensation expense included in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive loss for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, was as follows (in thousands):

Excluded from the table above is stock-based compensation expense related to discontinued operations of approximately $52,000 and $154,000 for the three and nine-month periods ended December 31, 2013.

 

As of December 31, 2014, there was approximately $1.7 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested share-based compensation arrangements granted under the plans. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 3.00 years.

 

6.              FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT

 

The Company maintains all of its cash on deposit at financial institutions. As such, there were no cash equivalents on the Company’s balance sheets as of December 31, 2014 or March 31, 2014. The Company’s financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis consist of accounts receivable, receivable from the sale of the MDMS Business, and accounts payable and accrued liabilities and their carrying amounts approximate fair value due to their short term nature. There were no financial or nonfinancial assets or liabilities that required recognition or disclosure at fair value on a nonrecurring basis in the Company’s balance sheets as of December 31, 2014 or March 31, 2014.

7.              STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY AND EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE

 

Basic loss per share is computed using the net loss and the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share is computed using the net loss and the weighted average number of common shares and potential common shares outstanding during the period when the potential common shares are dilutive. Potential dilutive common shares consist of outstanding stock options. The following table presents the calculation of basic and diluted income (loss) per share (in thousands, except per share amounts):

This discussion and analysis of the financial statements and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, including the related notes thereto, contained elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q

 

Unless noted otherwise, management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations pertain to our continuing operations.

 

Certain amounts in prior year’s unaudited condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss) have been reclassified to conform to current year’s financial statement presentation.

 

Overview

 

We were incorporated in the State of Delaware in August 1987. We were originally incorporated as Blyth Holdings, Inc. and our name was changed to Omnis Technology Corporation in September 1997. Effective December 1, 2000, we completed the acquisition of PickAx, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“PickAx”). Concurrent with the acquisition, we changed our name to Raining Data Corporation. On April 17, 2008, we changed our name to TigerLogic Corporation. Reference to “we,” “our,” “us” or the “Company” in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q means TigerLogic Corporation and our subsidiaries.

 

On November 15, 2013, we completed the sale of our assets dedicated to the multidimensional database management system (“MDMS”) and related connectivity products known as the MDMS family of products, including D3, mvBase, mvEnterprise and the Pick connectivity products (the “MDMS Business”), and the related underlying enterprise resource planning (“ERP”) platform required to support the MDMS Business, to Rocket Software, Inc. (“Rocket”) for a total sale price of approximately $22 million (the “Sale”), of which approximately $19.8 million was received at closing and the remaining $2.2 million was released from escrow and received in November 2014. As a result of this divestiture, the historical results of the MDMS Business through the disposition date have been reclassified and presented as discontinued operations for the prior periods presented.  Also, in connection with, and effective on, the closing of the Sale, we assigned to Rocket our Lease Agreement with The Irvine Company, dated November 9, 2004, as amended on December 7, 2009. The lease was for approximately 15,000 square feet of office space in Irvine, California and runs through October 2015.

 

We believe the sale of the MDMS Business will allow us to better focus our resources, and provide the capital to accelerate the development, marketing and sales of our Postano and Omnis platforms. There can be no assurances that we will be able to fully replace the MDMS revenue with revenue from our retained or newly developed products quickly, or at all.

 

During the quarter ended December 31, 2014, we wound down our Storycode services offering to focus our resources on the Postano and Omnis product lines. We do not expect any future revenues related to Storycode services.

 

Products

 

Our principal business consists of: 1) the design, development, sale, and support of Omnis rapid application development software; and 2) a social platform, primarily consisting of our Postano social media content aggregation and visualization platform. Our products allow customers to create and enhance flexible software applications for their own needs. Our Omnis software is a development platform that allows mobile centric developers the ability to build a software code once and quickly deploy an application cross-platform in any environment. Our Postano product is a real-time social media content aggregation, activation, and visualization platform.

Table of Contents

 

We primarily sell our Omnis software products through established distribution channels consisting of original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”), system integrators, specialized vertical application software developers and consulting organizations, as well as through our sales personnel. Our social media content aggregation platform is generally sold through our sales personnel, as well as through co-marketing arrangements with third parties. Outside the United States, we maintain direct sales offices in the United Kingdom, France, and Germany. Approximately 33% and 39% of our revenue from continuing operations came from sales through our offices located outside the United States for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2014, respectively.  We generally license our Omnis software on a per-CPU, per-server, per-port or per-user basis. We generally license our hosted Postano platform on a time-based subscription basis. In addition to software products and hosted services, we provide continuing software maintenance and support and, to a limited extent, other professional services to our customers, including consulting and training services to help plan, analyze, implement and maintain application software based on our products. For each of the three and nine months ended December 31, 2014, and 2013, no single customer accounted for more than 10% of our revenue.

 

In addition, one of the elements of our business strategy involves expansion through the acquisition of businesses, assets, products or technologies that allow us to complement our existing product offerings, expand our market coverage or enhance our technological capabilities. We continually evaluate and explore strategic opportunities as they arise, including business combination transactions, strategic partnerships, and the purchase or sale of assets, including tangible and intangible assets, such as our divestiture of the MDMS Business.

 

TigerLogic Postano

 

Postano is a real-time hosted social content aggregation, activation, and visualization platform, bringing together social media conversations and content streams from around the web to strengthen fan engagement. The Postano platform includes Postano Mobile, Postano Events, Postano Retail, Postano Social Hub, Postano Command Center, and the built-in Postano Monitoring dashboard capabilities. Postano aggregates social content across Twitter, Tumblr, Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, and other social platforms. Within Postano, these content streams can be moderated, curated, analyzed, and then displayed in venues ranging from retail stores to stadiums, at events to increase brand awareness, on website social hubs to amplify engagement, and on hashtag campaign landing pages to create brand conversation and increase participation. Major Postano features include native mobile moderation apps for iPhone and Android, and advanced social visualizations built entirely with customizable HTML5 for content that can be displayed on every size screen from smartphones to the largest LED screen arrays. Postano is designed primarily for commercial use, with pricing based on a number of factors, including the type of Postano displayed, the number of Postano displays, features, display customization and support levels desired.

 

In November 2014, we released version 2.6 of Postano that allows users to easily find and approve user-generated content across multiple social networks. Postano 2.6 also includes expanded team moderation options so that multiple team members can curate content at the same time, a new slideshow approval view, and an optimized experience for the iPad. This release also includes additional visualization formats, including highly animated visualizations for social voting and hashtag contests, and makes it easy to display and curate social content on screen with live video. Another addition to the 2.6 release is the integration of Phhhoto, a new social network that easily makes graphic interchange format files (GIFs) for iPhone and Android.

 

Omnis Rapid Application Development Tools

 

Our Omnis products support the full life cycle of software application development and are designed for rapid prototyping, development, and deployment of graphical user interface (“GUI”) client/server and web applications. The Omnis products - Omnis Studio and Omnis Classic - are object-oriented and component-based, providing the ability to deploy cross-platform applications on operating system platforms and database environments. Omnis Studio’s JavaScript Client platform enables developers to create and deploy highly interactive web and mobile enterprise applications for Android, iOS, BlackBerry, and Windows based devices, all from one code base. Omnis Studio 6.0 uses scripting compatible with HTML5 and CSS3 to enable support for all popular browsers and devices, including tablets, smartphones, desktops, and web-enabled TVs. Omnis-based applications are developed once and deployed to any device, on any platform, with no plug-in installation required.

 

We recently released Omnis Studio 6.1 offering an advanced Omnis development environment with greater overall performance for building and deploying highly interactive enterprise web and mobile applications across multiple platforms and operating systems, including Android and iOS based devices. In addition to its support of representational state transfer (REST) based web services, Omnis Studio 6.1 includes a new 64-bit implementation, creating faster access for developers and end users to deployed Omnis web and mobile applications. Developers will also benefit from the latest enhancements to the feature-rich Omnis JavaScript Client technology which includes new native JavaScript components that firmly adapt to the familiar look and feel of the device on which they are running, resulting in a richer and more engaging mobile application experience for end users.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our consolidated financial statements, prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses and disclosure of contingent liabilities.

 

On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to revenue recognition and accounting for goodwill and intangible assets. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

 

We have identified the accounting policies below as the policies critical to our business operations and the understanding of our results of operations. We believe the following critical accounting policies and the related judgments and estimates affect the preparation of our consolidated financial statements:

 

REVENUE RECOGNITION. Revenue attributable to an element in a customer arrangement is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the fee is fixed or determinable, and collectability is probable. If, at the outset of the customer arrangement, we determine that the arrangement fee is not fixed or determinable, we defer the revenue and recognize the revenue when the arrangement fee becomes due and payable. We do not have price protection programs or conditional acceptance agreements, and sales of our products are made without right of return.

 

For contracts with multiple software and software-related elements, we recognize revenue for the delivered elements, generally software licenses, using the residual value method when vendor-specific objective evidence (VSOE) of fair value exists for all undelivered elements, consisting primarily of post-contract customer support (PCS).  PCS is recognized ratably over the support term.

 

For our hosted software subscription arrangements, services revenue is recognized ratably over the subscription period.  We also have services revenue consisting of consulting and training services that are either recognized as the services are performed or upon the completion of the services depending on the nature of the services. When subscription arrangements involve multiple elements that qualify as separate units of accounting, we allocate arrangement consideration to all deliverables based on the relative stand-alone selling price method in accordance with the selling price hierarchy, which includes: (i) VSOE if available; (ii) third-party evidence (TPE) if VSOE is not available; and (iii) best estimate of selling price (BESP) if neither VSOE nor TPE is available.  Revenue allocated to each deliverable, limited to the amount not contingent on future performance, is then recognized when the basic revenue recognition criteria are met for the respective deliverables. When subscription arrangements involve multiple elements that do not qualify as separate units of accounting, the entire arrangement consideration is recognized over the subscription period.

 

We determine whether VSOE can be established based on our historical pricing and discounting practices for the specific deliverable when sold separately.  In determining VSOE, we require that a substantial majority of the selling prices fall within a reasonably narrow pricing range.  We have established VSOE for our PCS included in our software arrangements, but have not yet been able to establish VSOE for our subscription or other services.

 

When VSOE cannot be established for our subscription and other services, we apply judgment with respect to whether we can establish a selling price based on TPE.  TPE is determined based on third party pricing practices for similar deliverables when sold separately.  Generally, our pricing strategy differs from that of our peers and our offerings contain a significant level of differentiation such that the comparable pricing of services with similar functionality cannot be obtained.  Furthermore, typically, we are unable to reliably determine what similar competitors services’ selling prices are on a stand-alone basis.  As a result, we have not been able to establish selling prices based on TPE.

 

When we are unable to establish a selling price for our subscription and other services using VSOE or TPE, we use BESP in our allocation of arrangement consideration.  The objective of BESP is to determine the price at which we would transact a sale if the respective elements were sold on a stand-alone basis.  We estimate BESP for services by considering multiple factors including, but not limited to, prices charged for similar offerings, market conditions, competitive landscape, costs of providing the services, and our overall pricing practices.  We currently use BESP in order to allocate the selling price to our deliverables in multiple element subscription arrangements.

 

BUSINESS COMBINATIONS AND GOODWILL. We have entered into certain acquisitions, and in the future may make further acquisitions. The application of the purchase method of accounting for business combinations requires the use of significant estimates and assumptions in the determination of the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in order to properly allocate the purchase price consideration between depreciable assets, assumed liabilities, intangibles, and goodwill. Our estimates of the fair values of assets and liabilities acquired are based upon assumptions that we believe to be reasonable and include assistance from independent third-party appraisal firms. When equity instruments are issued as part of the purchase price consideration, we measure them at fair value as of the date of the acquisition.

We generally assess goodwill for potential impairments in the fourth quarter of each fiscal year, or during the year if an event or other circumstance indicates that we may not be able to recover the carrying amount of the asset.  In evaluating goodwill for impairment, we first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not (that is, a likelihood of more than 50 percent) that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If we conclude that it is not more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value, then no further testing of the goodwill assigned to the reporting unit is required. However, if we conclude that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value, we then perform a two-step goodwill impairment test to identify potential goodwill impairment and measure the amount of goodwill impairment to be recognized, if any.

 

In the first step of the review process, we compare the estimated fair value of the reporting unit with its carrying value. If the estimated fair value of the reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, no further analysis is needed.

 

If the estimated fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, we proceed to the second step of the review process to calculate the implied fair value of the reporting unit goodwill in order to determine whether any impairment is required. We calculate the implied fair value of the reporting unit goodwill by allocating the estimated fair value of the reporting unit to all of the assets and liabilities of the reporting unit as if the reporting unit had been acquired in a business combination. If the carrying value of the reporting unit’s goodwill exceeds the implied fair value of the goodwill, we recognize an impairment loss for that excess amount. In allocating the estimated fair value of the reporting unit to all of the assets and liabilities of the reporting unit, we use industry and market data, as well as knowledge of the industry and our past experiences.

 

Determining the fair value of a reporting unit under the first step of the goodwill impairment test is judgmental in nature and often involves the use of significant estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions could have a significant impact on whether or not an impairment charge is recognized and the magnitude of any such charge. We base our calculation of the estimated fair value of a reporting unit on multiple approaches: market approach under the guideline public company method, market approach under the market capitalization method, and income approach. For the income approach, we use internally developed discounted cash flow models that include, among others, the following assumptions: projections of revenues and expenses and related cash flows based on assumed long-term growth rates and demand trends; expected future investments to grow new units; and estimated discount rates. We base these assumptions on our historical data and experience, third-party appraisals, industry projections, micro and macro general economic condition projections, and our expectations.

 

For purposes of our goodwill analysis, we consider ourselves a single reporting unit.  Factors we consider to be important that would trigger an impairment review include the following:

 

·                  Significant underperformance relative to expected historical or projected future operating results;

·                  Timing of our revenue, significant changes in the manner of use of the acquired assets or the strategy for the overall business;

·                  Significant negative industry or economic trends;

·                  Significant decline in our stock price for a sustained period; and

·                  Our market capitalization falling below our net book value for a sustained period.

 

Given our single reporting unit structure, a key input in estimating of our reporting unit fair value is our stock price as reported by the NASDAQ Stock Market (“NASDAQ”) and our related market capitalization. During the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2014, our market capitalization fell below our net book value for an extended period of time. As a result, we conducted the first step of a goodwill impairment test as of December 31, 2014 with the assistance of an independent valuation consultant utilizing both a market capitalization approach, including an estimated control premium, as well as a discounted cash flow approach, with key assumptions including projected future cash flows and a risk-adjusted discount rate.  Both approaches resulted in an estimated fair value of our reporting unit below net book value as of December 31, 2014. As such, we initiated the second step of the goodwill impairment test to measure the amount of impairment. We analyzed the fair value of certain assets including our developed technology, trade names, customer relationships, and property. Based on the work performed, we concluded that an impairment loss existed as of December 31, 2014. Accordingly, we recorded a non-cash goodwill impairment charge to fully write-off the book value of our goodwill in the amount of approximately $18.2 million during the quarter ended December 31, 2014. Also, prior to performing our second step in the goodwill impairment analysis, we assessed long-lived assets including property and equipment and intangible assets for impairment. Our conclusion was that such long-lived assets were not impaired as of December 31, 2014.

Intangible assets with finite useful life are amortized using the straight-line method over their estimated period of economic benefit. Our intangible assets were acquired in connection with our acquisition of Storycode, Inc. in January 2013. We evaluate our intangible assets for impairment whenever events and change in circumstances occur which may warrant revised estimate of useful lives or recognition of an impairment loss. In connection with the wind down of the Storycode services as more fully explained in Note 4 to the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements above, we assigned all of the intellectual property rights related to the name “Storycode” and certain rights related thereto to two former employees.  As a result, we wrote off the remaining net book value associated with this intangible asset in the amount of approximately $65,000 during the quarter ended December 31, 2014.

 

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT. In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), which provides guidance for revenue recognition. This ASU affects any entity that either enters into contracts with customers to transfer goods or services or enters into contracts for the transfer of non-financial assets. This ASU will supersede the revenue recognition requirements in Topic 605, Revenue Recognition, and most industry-specific guidance. This ASU also supersedes some cost guidance included in Subtopic 605-35, Revenue Recognition-Construction-Type and Production-Type Contracts. The core principle of the guidance is that an entity should recognize 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 exchanged for those goods or services. The new standard is effective for our fiscal year 2018. Early application is not permitted. The standard permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. We are evaluating the effect that ASU 2014-09 will have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. We have not yet selected a transition method nor have we determined the effect of the standard on our ongoing financial reporting.

 

In April 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-08, Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205) and Property, Plant, and Equipment (Topic 360), which provides guidance for reporting discontinued operations and disclosures of disposals of components of an entity. This ASU affects an entity that has either a component that is disposed of or meets the criteria to be classified as held for sale. The core principle of the guidance is that a disposal of a component, or a group of components of an entity is required to be reported in discontinued operations if the disposal represents a strategic shift and has (or will have) a major effect on an entity’s operations and financial results. This standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014, including interim periods within that reporting period (our fiscal year 2016). We do not expect the adoption of this ASU to have a material impact on our financial position and results of operations.

 

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements-Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40): Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern (“ASU 2014-15”). This ASU is intended to define management’s responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an organization’s ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related footnote disclosures. The amendments in this ASU are effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, with early adoption permitted. We are currently assessing the impact the adoption of this ASU will have on our ongoing financial reporting.

Revenue

 

NET REVENUE. Net revenues include software licensing, hosted subscription services, post contract technical support, and professional services for our Omnis, Postano, and Storycode products and services. We generally license our Omnis software primarily on a per-CPU, per-server, per-port or per-user basis. Therefore, the addition of CPUs, servers, ports or users to existing systems increases our revenue from our installed base of licenses. Similarly, the reduction of CPUs, servers, ports or users from existing systems decreases our revenue from our installed base of customers. Our hosted Postano platform is generally sold on a time-based subscription basis and may additionally include professional services fees. Our Storycode digital publishing professional services were generally sold on a project basis. Effective December 1, 2014, we no longer provide Storycode professional services as a result of our decision to wind down this portion of our business. Historically, revenue from Storycode services has not been significant. The timing of orders and customer ordering patterns has resulted in fluctuations in revenue between quarters and year-to-year. Total revenue increased by approximately $0.5 million or 33% and $1.2 million or 27% for the three and nine-month periods ended December 31, 2014, respectively, when compared to the same periods in the prior year. License revenues from our Omnis software decreased by approximately $0.1 million or 13% for the three months ended December 31, 2014, but remained consistent for the nine months ended December 31, 2014, when compared to the same periods in the prior year. Subscriptions and services revenue for the three and nine-month periods ended December 31, 2014 increased by approximately $0.5 million or 64% and $1.2 million or 48%, respectively, when compared to the same periods in the prior year, primarily due to higher Postano subscription and services revenue.

 

Along with developing upgrades to our Omnis software, we have been actively developing and marketing our Postano social media visualization platform. While we are committed to research and development efforts that are intended to allow us to penetrate new markets and generate new sources of revenue, such efforts may not result in additional products, services or revenue. We can give no assurances as to customer acceptance of any new products or services, or the ability of the current or any new products and services to generate revenue. There can be no assurance that we will be able to fully replace the revenue from the MDMS Business we sold in November 2013 with revenue from our retained or newly developed products quickly, or at all.

Operating Expenses

 

COST OF LICENSE REVENUE. Cost of license revenue is comprised of direct costs associated with software license sales including software packaging, documentation, physical media costs, amortization of intangible assets, and royalties. Cost of license revenue remained consistent for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2014, respectively, when compared to the same periods in the prior year and comprised of amortization expense for the technology intangible assets acquired as part of the Storycode acquisition.

 

COST OF SUBSCRIPTIONS AND SERVICE REVENUE. Cost of subscriptions and service revenue includes primarily data center hosting and personnel costs relating to hosting, consulting, technical support, professional and training services, and service royalties. Effective December 1, 2014, we no longer provide Storycode professional services as a result of our decision to wind down this portion of our business. Historically, cost of service revenue from Storycode services has not been significant. Cost of subscriptions and service revenue for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2014 increased by approximately $0.1 million or 31% and $0.3 million or 59%, respectively, from the same periods in the prior year mainly due to higher Postano personnel costs for new hires, and higher hosting costs related to increased Postano subscriptions, partially offset by a decrease in revenue sharing arrangement due to termination of that arrangement in the current fiscal year.

 

SELLING AND MARKETING. Selling and marketing expense consists primarily of salaries, benefits, advertising, trade shows, travel and overhead costs for our sales and marketing personnel. Selling and marketing expense for the three months ended December 31, 2014 decreased by approximately $0.4 million or 22% when compared to the same period in the prior year mainly due to lower headcount, partially offset by higher commission expense. Selling and marketing expense for the nine months ended December 31, 2014 increased by approximately $0.2 million or 5% when compared to the same period in the prior year mainly due to higher marketing expense for our Postano product line, higher commission expense related to increased Postano sales, and higher travel related expense for Postano sales activities.

 

We anticipate that selling and marketing costs related to our Postano product lines will continue to increase as we further develop the sales channels for these products, and as customer acceptance of these products increases.

 

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT. Research and development expense consists primarily of salaries and other personnel-related expenses and overhead costs for engineering personnel, including employees in the United States and the United Kingdom and contractors in the United States. Research and development expense for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2014 decreased by approximately $0.4 million or 34% and $0.3 million or 8% when compared to the same periods in the prior year mainly due to lower headcount as we refocused on development efforts of our Postano and Omnis products.

 

We believe that our future success will depend largely on strong development efforts with respect to both our existing and new products. These development efforts have resulted in updates and upgrades to existing Omnis products and the launch of new products including the Postano social media platform. New product updates and upgrades in our Omnis and Postano product lines are currently in progress and we expect to continue our research and development efforts in these product lines for the foreseeable future.

 

GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE. General and administrative expense consists primarily of costs associated with our finance, human resources, legal and other administrative functions. These costs consist principally of salaries and other personnel-related expenses, professional fees, depreciation and overhead costs. General and administrative expense for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2014 increased by approximately $0.8 million or 91% and $1.7 million or 49%, respectively, when compared to the same periods in the prior year mainly due to higher legal and financial advisory services expense related to the evaluation of any proposed sale of our common stock by our largest stockholder, as well as the evaluation of other strategic alternatives available to the Company, and higher salary expense due to added headcount.

 

IMPAIRMENT OF GOODWILL During the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2014, our market capitalization fell below our net book value for an extended period of time. As a result, we conducted the first step of a goodwill impairment test as of December 31, 2014 with the assistance of an independent valuation consultant utilizing both a market capitalization approach, including an estimated control premium, as well as a discounted cash flow approach, with key assumptions including projected future cash flows and a risk-adjusted discount rate.  Both approaches resulted in an estimated fair value of our reporting unit below net book value as of December 31, 2014. As such, we initiated the second step of the goodwill impairment test to measure the amount of impairment. We analyzed the fair value of certain assets including our developed technology, trade names, customer relationships, and property. Based on the work performed, we concluded that an impairment loss existed as of December 31, 2014. Accordingly, we recorded a non-cash goodwill impairment charge to fully write-off the book value of our goodwill in the amount of approximately $18.2 million during the quarter ended December 31, 2014. Also, prior to performing our second step in the goodwill impairment analysis, we assessed long-lived assets including property and equipment and intangible assets for impairment. Our conclusion was that such long-lived assets were not impaired as of December 31, 2014.

OTHER INCOME (EXPENSE)-NET: Other income (expense)-net consists primarily of interest income (expense) and gains and losses on foreign currency transactions and is not significant for any period presented.

 

PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES. Our effective tax rate from continuing operations was (0.4)% and (0.4)% for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2014, respectively. Our effective tax rate from continuing operations was 68.3% and 35.8% for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2013, respectively. Our effective tax rate from discontinued operations was 31.4% and 33.3% for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2013, respectively. Our total effective tax rate was 19.8% and 29.9% for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2013, respectively. The provision for income taxes for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 reflected the income tax on net earnings from our foreign subsidiaries in France and Germany.  In addition, we accrued additional expense of $51,000 related to a potential assessment from the German tax authorities in the three and nine-months ended December 31, 2014.  Due to uncertainties surrounding the timing of realizing the benefits of the net operating loss carryforwards in the future, we continue to carry a full valuation allowance against net deferred tax assets related to our operations in the United States and United Kingdom.

 

Realization of deferred tax assets depends upon future earnings, if any, the timing and amount of which are uncertain. Accordingly, we have offset our net deferred tax assets in our U.S. and UK subsidiaries, with a valuation allowance. The utilization of our net operating losses could be subject to substantial annual limitations as a result of certain future events, such as an acquisition or other significant events, which may be deemed as a “change in ownership” under the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and similar state provisions. The annual limitations could result in the expiration of net operating losses and tax credits before utilization.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

As of December 31, 2014, we had approximately $12.8 million in cash, of which approximately $0.8 million was held by our foreign subsidiaries and, if repatriated, would not be subject to material tax consequences due to our net operating loss carry forwards. On November 15, 2013, we sold our MDMS Business assets to Rocket for a total sale price of approximately $22.0 million, the remaining $2.2 million of which was released from escrow in November 2014. We believe that our existing cash balances and cash flow from operations will be sufficient to meet our anticipated cash needs for at least the next twelve months.

 

We are committed to research and development and marketing efforts that are intended to allow us to penetrate new markets and generate new sources of revenue and improve operating results. However, our research and development and marketing efforts have required, and will continue to require, cash outlays without the immediate or short-term receipt of related revenue. Our ability to meet our future expenditure requirements is dependent upon our future financial performance, and this will be affected by, among other things, prevailing economic conditions, success in penetrating new markets, our ability to attract new customers, and achieving market acceptance of our new and existing products and services, the success of research and development efforts and other factors beyond our control.

 

We had no material commitments for capital expenditures as of December 31, 2014.

 

Net cash used in operating activities was approximately $7.6 million for the nine- month period ended December 31, 2014. Net cash used in operating activities was approximately $4.6 million for the nine-month period ended December 31, 2013. The increase in net cash used in operating activities for the nine-month period ended December 31, 2014 as compared to the same period in the prior year, was primarily due to higher marketing and professional services expenses relating to Postano and Omnis product lines, higher personnel costs for Postano due to additional hires, and higher legal and consulting expense for the evaluation of strategic alternatives available to us. Net cash used in investing activities for the nine-month period ended December 31, 2014 was approximately $0.3 million and was mainly due to the purchases of furniture and equipment related to the relocation of our headquarters in April 2014.  Net cash provided from investing activities for the nine-month period ended December 31, 2013 was approximately $19.7 million and was mainly due to the proceeds received from the sale of our MDMS Business. Net cash provided from financing activities for the nine-month period ended December 31, 2014 was approximately $2.2 million and was mainly due to proceeds released from escrow from the sale of our MDMS Business in the prior year. Net cash provided from financing activities for the nine-month period ended December 31, 2013 was immaterial and related to proceeds from exercise of stock options and issuance of our common stock.

 

There was no outstanding line of credit or other borrowings during the three or nine-month periods ended December 31, 2014 or 2013.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

As of December 31, 2014, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements, as defined in the SEC regulations, which have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future material effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues, or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.

 

Non-GAAP Financial Information

 

Adjusted EBITDA (as defined below) should not be construed as a substitute for net income (loss) determined in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Adjusted EBITDA excludes components that are significant in understanding and assessing our results of operations. Adjusted EBITDA does not represent funds available for management’s discretionary use. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA is not a term defined by GAAP and as a result our measure of Adjusted EBITDA might not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.

 

However, Adjusted EBITDA is used by management to evaluate, assess and benchmark our operational results and we believe that Adjusted EBITDA is relevant and useful information widely used by analysts, investors and other interested parties in our industry. Accordingly, we are disclosing this information to permit a more comprehensive analysis of our operating performance, and to provide an additional measure of performance.

 

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) with adjustments for depreciation and amortization, interest income (expense)-net, and income tax provision (benefit) plus adjustments for other income (expense)-net, non-cash stock-based compensation expense, and other non-recurring items such as income from discontinued operations, goodwill impairment charges and acquisition related costs.

 

Our Adjusted EBITDA was negative $1.9 million for the three-month period ended December 31, 2014, as compared to negative $2.4 million for the three-month period ended September 30, 2014, and negative $2.1 million for the three-month period ended December 31, 2013. The improvement in Adjusted EBITDA was a result of lower sales and marketing expenses and also lower research and development expenses due to lower headcount, partially offset by higher general and administrative expenses due to higher legal and financial advisory services in the three-month period ended September 30, 2014 and prior year. Our Adjusted EBITDA was negative $7.4 million for the nine-month period ended December 31, 2014, as compared to negative $6.0 million for the same period in the prior year. The increase in negative Adjusted EBITDA was a result of higher operating expenses in the current period due mainly to higher personnel and marketing expenses as we expanded our sales and marketing efforts for Postano, and higher legal and financial advisory services expense relating to the evaluation of any proposed sale of our common stock by our largest stockholder, as well as the evaluation of other strategic alternatives available to us. The following table reconciles GAAP reported net income (loss) to Adjusted EBITDA:

ITEM 4.                                               CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Our principal executive officer and principal financial officer evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on such evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) are effective, as of the end of the period covered by this report, to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Management necessarily applied its judgment in assessing the benefits of controls relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues, if any, within our company have been detected.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our last fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

 

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

 

ITEM 1A.               RISK FACTORS

 

We operate in a rapidly changing environment that involves numerous risks and uncertainties. A description of the risks and uncertainties associated with our business is set forth below. You should carefully consider such risks and uncertainties, together with the other information contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2014 and in our other public filings, including our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2014. If any of such risks and uncertainties actually occurs, our business, financial condition or operating results could differ materially from the plans, projections, and other forward-looking statements included in the section titled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and elsewhere in this report and in our other public filings. In addition, if any of the following risks and uncertainties, or if any other risks and uncertainties, actually occurs, our business, financial condition or operating results could be harmed substantially, potentially causing the market price of our stock to decline, perhaps significantly. The following section lists some, but not all, of these risks and uncertainties that may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operation.

 

IF WE DO NOT DEVELOP NEW PRODUCTS, ENHANCE EXISTING PRODUCTS TO KEEP PACE WITH RAPIDLY CHANGING TECHNOLOGY AND INDUSTRY STANDARDS, AND SUCCESSFULLY INTEGRATE ACQUIRED PRODUCTS AND TECHNOLOGIES, OUR REVENUE MAY DECLINE.

 

We have devoted significant resources to the research and development, as well as acquisitions, of products and technologies. We believe that our future success will depend in large part on strong research and development efforts with respect to both our existing and new products, as well as the integration of newer technologies. We have made extensive efforts to leverage our core intellectual property to create new product lines, including our Postano social media visualization platform, which we have enhanced by incorporating Storycode’s expertise in mobile application development, user experience, and design to create, what we believe, is a new kind of social platform with mobile distribution capabilities. In furtherance of that strategy, in November 2013, we completed the sale of our MDMS Business to Rocket, to enable us to continue to invest additional resources into our other products, such as our Postano and Omnis products.

 

While we expect these efforts to improve our future operating results and increase cash flow, such new products may not be successful or generate significant revenue. The MDMS Business represented a significant portion of our historical revenues and there can be no assurances that we will be able to replace those revenues with revenues from our retained or newly developed products quickly, or at all. A large portion of the MDMS Business consisted of the sale of annual software maintenance and support services, which provided a historically relatively stable revenue stream. The lower sales volume of annual software maintenance and support services from our retained Omnis products, combined with the longer sales cycle of our Postano products, may result in larger fluctuations in revenue.

Table of Contents

 

The development of new or enhanced software products is a complex and uncertain process requiring high levels of innovation, as well as accurate anticipation of customer and technical trends. In developing new products and services, we may fail to develop and market products that respond to technological changes or evolving industry standards in a timely or cost-effective manner or experience difficulties that could delay or prevent the successful development, introduction and marketing of these new products. The development and introduction of new or enhanced products also requires us to manage the transition from older products in order to minimize disruptions in customer ordering patterns and to ensure that adequate supplies of new products can be delivered to meet customer demand. Failure to develop and introduce new products or enhancements to existing products, in a timely and cost-effective manner in response to changing market conditions or customer requirements or lack of customer acceptance of our products, will materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition. There can be no assurance that we will successfully integrate acquired products and technologies, identify new product opportunities, develop and bring new products to market in a timely manner or achieve market acceptance of our products or that products and technologies developed by others will not render our products or technologies obsolete or noncompetitive. In addition, if we do not timely optimize complementary product lines and services or if we fail to adequately support or enhance acquired product lines or services, our business may be adversely affected.

 

OUR FAILURE TO COMPETE EFFECTIVELY MAY HAVE AN ADVERSE IMPACT ON OUR OPERATING RESULTS.

 

The market for our products is highly competitive, diverse and subject to rapid change. Our products and services compete on the basis of the following key characteristics: performance; inter-operability; scalability; functionality; reliability; pricing; post sale customer support; quality; compliance with industry standards; and overall total cost of ownership. The application development tools software market is rapidly changing and intensely competitive. Our Omnis products currently encounter competition from several direct competitors, including Microsoft, and competing development environments, including JAVA. Direct competitors of our Postano social media visualization platform include Facebook and Twitter, as well as numerous smaller companies in the emerging social media marketplace. Additionally, as we expand our business and integrate acquired products and technologies, we expect to compete with a different group of companies, including smaller, highly focused companies offering single products.

 

The strong competition we face in the sales of our products and services, and general economic and business conditions, can put pressure on us to change our prices. If our competitors offer deep discounts on certain products or services, or develop products that the marketplace considers more valuable, we may need to lower prices or offer other favorable terms in order to compete successfully. Any such changes may reduce margins and could adversely affect our operating results and cash flow.

 

Most of our competitors have significantly more financial, technical, marketing, and other resources than we do. As a result, these competitors may be able to respond more quickly to new or emerging technologies, evolving markets and changes in customer requirements, and may devote greater resources to the development, promotion, and sale of their products. Our products and services could fall behind marketplace demands at any time. If we fail to address the competitive challenges, our business and operating results would suffer materially.

 

BECAUSE OUR OMNIS AND SOCIAL AND MOBILE PRODUCTS COMPETE WITH PRODUCTS FROM MUCH LARGER AND WELL KNOWN COMPANIES, OUR REVENUE MAY DECLINE IF WE CANNOT MAINTAIN OUR SALES TO EXISTING CUSTOMERS OR GENERATE SALES TO NEW CUSTOMERS.

 

We face very strong competition from much larger and better known companies in the markets for our Omnis and social and mobile products. As a result, existing customers and new customers may be inclined to adopt other technologies. To maintain or grow our revenue in these markets, we will need to maintain or grow our sales to existing customers and to generate sales to new customers, including corporate development teams, commercial application developers, system integrators, independent software vendors, and independent consultants. If we fail to attract new customers, if we lose our customers to competitors, or if the Omnis and social and mobile markets decline, our revenue will be adversely affected.

 

ACQUISITIONS PRESENT MANY RISKS, AND WE MAY NOT REALIZE THE FINANCIAL AND STRATEGIC GOALS AND SYNERGIES THAT WERE CONTEMPLATED OR ANTICIPATED AT THE TIME OF AN ACQUISITION.

 

One of the elements of our business strategy involves expansion through the acquisition of businesses, assets, products or technologies that allow us to complement our existing product offerings, expand our market coverage or enhance our technological capabilities. Risks we may face in connection with any such acquisitions include the following:

 

· Our ongoing business may be disrupted and our management’s attention may be diverted by acquisition, transition or integration activities;

 

· An acquisition may not further our business strategy as we expected, we may not integrate an acquired company or technology as successfully as we anticipated or we may overpay for or otherwise not realize the expected return on, our investments;

 

21



Table of Contents

 

· We may have difficulties in: (i) managing an acquired company’s technologies or lines of business or (ii) entering new markets where we have no or limited direct prior experience or where competitors may have stronger market positions;

 

· Our operating results or financial condition may be adversely impacted by claims or liabilities that we assume from an acquired company or technology or that are otherwise related to an acquisition, including claims from government agencies, terminated employees, current or former customers, former stockholders or other third parties and intellectual property claims or disputes;

 

· We may fail to identify or assess the magnitude of certain liabilities, shortcomings or other circumstances prior to acquiring a company or technology, which could result in unexpected litigation or regulatory exposure, unfavorable revenue recognition or other accounting treatment, unexpected increases in taxes due, a loss of anticipated tax benefits or other adverse effects on our business, operating results or financial condition;

 

· We may not realize the anticipated synergies or increases in our revenues for a number of reasons, including if we fail to engage new customers or enter new markets with our integrated products, if we are unable to sell the acquired products to our existing customer base or if contract models of an acquired company do not allow us to recognize revenues on a timely basis;

 

· We may have difficulty incorporating acquired technologies or products with our existing product lines and maintaining uniform standards, architecture, controls, procedures and policies;

 

· We may have multiple product lines as a result of our acquisitions that are offered, priced and supported differently, which could cause customer confusion and delays;

 

· We may incur higher than anticipated costs in continuing support and development of acquired products, and in administrative functions that support new business models or in compliance with associated regulations that are more complicated than we had anticipated;

 

· We may be unable to successfully integrate and retain the acquired companies’ employees and other personnel;

 

· Our use of cash to pay for acquisitions may limit other potential uses of our cash and may deplete our cash reserves;

 

· To the extent that we issue a significant amount of equity securities in connection with future acquisitions, existing stockholders may be diluted and earnings per share may decrease; and

 

· We are required to account for our acquisitions pursuant to U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, including recording goodwill and intangible assets that are subject to impairment testing on a regular basis and potential periodic impairment charges, incurring amortization expenses related to certain intangible assets, incurring write-offs, restructuring or other related expenses and accounting for arrangements that we assume from an acquisition.

 

Mergers, acquisitions, and dispositions of high-technology companies are inherently risky and subject to many factors outside of our control. No assurance can be given that our previous or future acquisitions or dispositions will be successful and will not materially adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition or cash flow. In addition, failure to manage and successfully integrate acquisitions could materially harm our business and operating results. Even when an acquired company has already developed and marketed products, there can be no assurance that product enhancements will be made in a timely fashion or that pre-acquisition due diligence will have identified all possible issues that might arise with respect to such products. In addition, accounting for acquisitions may result in charges during a particular quarter, causing variability in our quarterly earnings. Our effective tax rate for future periods is uncertain and could be impacted by mergers and acquisitions.

 

ADVERSE ECONOMIC CONDITIONS COULD HARM OUR BUSINESS.

 

Our operations and performance depend significantly on global economic conditions. Instability in the global credit markets, including European economic and financial turmoil related to sovereign debt issues in certain countries, may put pressure on global economic conditions. If economic conditions become uncertain in key markets, including without limitation the United States and Western Europe where we derive a majority of our revenue, we may experience adverse impacts on our business, operating results, and financial condition. Unfavorable changes in economic conditions, including recession, rising inflation, diminished credit availability, declining valuation of investments or other changes in economic conditions may result in lower information technology spending and have adversely affected our revenue. For example, current or potential customers may be unable to fund software purchases, potentially causing them to delay, decrease or cancel purchases of our products and services or to not pay us or to delay

paying us for previously purchased products and services. Further, since we generally license our Omnis software on a per-CPU, per-server, per-port or per-user basis, any decrease in CPUs, servers, ports or users by our customers would result in a decrease in our revenue. These and other economic factors could have a material adverse effect on demand for our products and services and on our financial results.

 

WE HAVE A HISTORY OF LOSSES AND WILL CONTINUE TO INCUR SIGNIFICANT LOSSES IN THE FUTURE.

 

We recorded net loss of approximately $26.5 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2014 and had an accumulated deficit of approximately $136.9 million as of December 31, 2014. We expect that we will continue to incur significant losses in the immediate future for a number of reasons, including uncertainty as to: (i) the level of our future revenues; (ii) our efforts to monetize newer technologies and services we have developed, including Postano, and (iii) our efforts to integrate acquired products and technologies. We plan to continue to pursue strategic opportunities, including investment in new product development, and evaluation of strategic acquisitions and dispositions of assets and technologies, such as the sale of our MDMS Business. There can be no assurances that we will be able to replace the MDMS revenues with revenues from our retained or newly developed products quickly, or at all. Forecasting our revenues and profitability for our new business models is inherently uncertain and volatile. We will need to generate significant increases in our revenues to achieve and maintain profitability, particularly given the current small size of our business relative to the costs associated with being a public reporting company. If our revenue fails to grow or grows more slowly than we currently anticipate or our operating expenses exceed our expectations, our losses would significantly increase which could harm our business and operating results.

 

OUR GOODWILL BECAME IMPAIRED AND WE RECORDED A SIGNIFICANT NON-CASH CHARGE TO EARNINGS WHICH MATERIALLY AND ADVERSELY AFFECTED OUR RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

 

Under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, we review our goodwill for impairment annually in the fourth quarter of each fiscal year, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be fully recoverable. The carrying value of our goodwill may not be recoverable due to factors such as a significant decline in our stock price and market capitalization, reduced estimates of future revenues or cash flows, timing of our revenues, significant changes in the strategy for the overall business, or significant negative trends in our industry or the economy in general. In addition, we only have one reporting unit, and the estimated fair value of the reporting unit is currently based primarily on our market capitalization as determined through quoted stock trading prices on NASDAQ.

 

During the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2014, our market capitalization fell below our net book value for an extended period of time. As a result, we conducted the first step of a goodwill impairment test as of December 31, 2014 with the assistance of an independent valuation consultant utilizing both a market capitalization approach, including an estimated control premium, as well as a discounted cash flow approach, with key assumptions including projected future cash flows and a risk-adjusted discount rate.  Both approaches resulted in an estimated fair value of our reporting unit below net book value as of December 31, 2014. As such, we initiated the second step of the goodwill impairment test to measure the amount of impairment. We analyzed the fair value of certain assets including our developed technology, trade names, customer relationships, and property. Based on the work performed, we concluded that an impairment loss existed as of December 31, 2014. Accordingly, we recorded a non-cash goodwill impairment charge to fully write-off the book value of our goodwill in the amount of approximately $18.2 million during the quarter ended December 31, 2014. Also, prior to performing our second step in the goodwill impairment analysis, we assessed long-lived assets including property and equipment and intangible assets for impairment. Our conclusion was that such long-lived assets were not impaired as of December 31, 2014.

 

IF OUR COMMON STOCK IS DELISTED FROM THE NASDAQ CAPITAL MARKET, OUR BUSINESS, FINANCIAL CONDITION, RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND STOCK PRICE COULD BE ADVERSELY AFFECTED, AND THE LIQUIDITY OF OUR STOCK AND OUR ABILITY TO OBTAIN FINANCING COULD BE IMPAIRED.

 

On October 7, 2014, we received a letter from the Listing Qualifications Department of NASDAQ notifying us that we were not in compliance with the requirement of NASDAQ Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the “Listing Rule”) for continued listing on the NASDAQ Capital Market as a result of the closing bid price for our common stock being below $1.00 for 30 consecutive business days. This notification has no effect on the listing of our common stock at this time. In accordance with the Listing Rule, we have 180 calendar days, or until April 6, 2015, to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement.  In order to regain compliance, shares of our common stock must maintain a minimum closing bid price of at least $1.00 per share for a minimum of ten consecutive business days.  No assurance can be given that we will regain compliance during that period or that we will be able to maintain continued compliance with the other listing requirements of the NASDAQ Capital Market. As of the filing date of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, our stock continued to trade significantly below the minimum $1.00 closing bid price. If we do not regain compliance with the Listing Rule during this compliance period, we may be eligible for an additional compliance period of 180 calendar days provided that

 

23



Table of Contents

 

we satisfy NASDAQ’s continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares and all other initial listing standards for the NASDAQ Capital Market, other than the minimum bid price requirement, and provide written notice to NASDAQ of our intention to cure the deficiency during the second compliance period. If we do not regain compliance during the initial compliance period and are not eligible for an additional compliance period, the NASDAQ staff will provide notice that our common stock is subject to delisting from the NASDAQ Capital Market. In that event, we may appeal such determination to a hearings panel.  It is also possible that we could fail to satisfy another NASDAQ requirement for continued listing of our stock and we may receive additional future non-compliance notices from NASDAQ, and proceedings to delist our stock could be commenced.

 

Any delisting of our common stock from the NASDAQ Capital Market could adversely affect our ability to attract new investors, decrease the liquidity of our outstanding shares of common stock, reduce our flexibility to raise additional capital, reduce the price at which our common stock trades, and increase the transaction costs inherent in trading such shares with overall negative effects for our stockholders. In addition, delisting of our common stock could deter broker-dealers from making a market in or otherwise seeking or generating interest in our common stock, and might deter certain institutions and persons from investing in our securities at all. For these reasons and others, delisting could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

OUR PRODUCTS HAVE A LONG SALES CYCLE WHICH COULD RESULT IN DELAYS IN THE RECOGNITION OF REVENUE.

 

The sales cycle for our Omnis products typically ranges from three to nine months or longer. Our products are typically used by application developers, system integrators and value added resellers to develop applications that are critical to their end user’s business. Because our products are often part of an end user’s larger business process, re-engineering initiative, or implementation of client/server or web-based computing, the end users frequently view the purchase of our products as part of a long-term strategic decision regarding the management of their workforce-related operations and expenditures. Thus, this sometimes results in end users taking a significant period of time to assess alternative solutions by competitors or to defer a purchase decision as a result of an unrelated strategic issue beyond our control.

 

The sales cycle for our Postano social media visualization platform typically ranges from one to six months or longer. Market adoption of newer social media platforms such as Postano is still at a relatively early stage as brands are discovering and learning how to leverage fan generated social content for marketing and customer engagement. Since we typically sell time-based subscriptions to the Postano platform, revenue is generally recognized ratably over the subscription term, which may not begin immediately. In addition, the social media market has much larger direct competitors such as Facebook and Twitter, which sometimes results in customers taking a significant period of time to evaluate other solutions before making purchasing decisions. As a result, a significant period of time may elapse between our research and development efforts and recognition of revenue, if any.

 

THE CONCENTRATION OF OUR STOCK OWNERSHIP GIVES CERTAIN STOCKHOLDERS SIGNIFICANT CONTROL OVER OUR BUSINESS.

 

As of December 31, 2014, Astoria Capital Partners, L.P. (“Astoria”) beneficially owned approximately 48.1% of our outstanding common stock. Richard W. Koe, a member of our Board of Directors, serves as the President of Astoria Capital Management, a general partner of Astoria. This concentration of stock ownership allows Astoria, acting alone, to potentially block or delay any actions that require approval of our stockholders, including the election of members to our Board of Directors and the approval of significant corporate transactions. For example, in September and October 2014, our Board of Directors approved amendments to our Bylaws with respect to certain corporate governance matters at the request of, and upon receiving feedback from, Astoria. Moreover, this concentration of ownership may delay or prevent a change in control. Astoria has announced that it is in the process of winding down and is working on identifying strategic block purchasers for its holdings of our common stock, but the timing and the outcome of this process remains uncertain. Our Board of Directors has formed a special committee of independent directors, which committee has engaged its own legal and financial advisors, to evaluate any proposed sale of Astoria’s shares of our common stock that may be presented to us as well as other strategic alternatives available to us.

 

WE MAY EXPERIENCE QUARTERLY FLUCTUATIONS IN OPERATING RESULTS, RESULTING IN VOLATILITY OF OUR STOCK PRICE.

 

We expect to continue to spend substantial amounts of money in the area of research and development, sales and marketing, and operations in order to integrate acquired products and technology and to promote new product development and introduction. Because the expenses associated with these activities are relatively fixed in the short-term, we may be unable to timely adjust spending to offset any unexpected shortfall in revenue growth or any decrease in revenue levels. The MDMS Business represented a significant portion of our historical revenues and there can be no assurances that we will be able to replace those revenues with revenues from our retained or newly developed products quickly, or at all.  Operating results may also fluctuate due to factors such as:

 

24



Table of Contents

 

·                  the size and timing of customer orders;

 

·                  changes in pricing policies by us or our competitors;

 

·                  our ability to develop, introduce, and market new and enhanced versions of our products;

 

·                  our ability to integrate acquired products and technologies;

 

·                  our ability to realize the anticipated synergies from the businesses we acquire;

 

·                  the number, timing, and significance of product enhancements and new product announcements by our competitors;

 

·                  the demand for our products;

 

·                  non-renewal of customer support agreements;

 

·                  the timing and significance of acquisition-related expenses and accounting charges;

 

·                  software defects and other product quality problems; and

 

·                  personnel changes.

 

We operate without a significant backlog of orders. As a result, the quarterly sales and operating results in any given quarter are dependent, in large part, upon the volume and timing of orders booked, products shipped, subscription periods initiated, and professional services rendered during that quarter. Accordingly, we may be unable to adjust spending in a timely manner to compensate for any unanticipated decrease in orders, sales, subscriptions, or professional services. Therefore, any decline in demand for our products and services, in relation to the forecast for any given quarter, could materially and negatively impact the results of our operations. As a result, our quarterly operating results may fluctuate, potentially causing our stock price to be volatile. In addition, we believe that period-to-period comparisons of our operating results should not be relied upon as indications of future performance.

 

We have experienced a sustained decrease in the trading price of our stock over the last several months. A significant drop in our stock price could also expose us to the risk of securities class actions lawsuits, which could result in substantial costs and divert management’s attention and resources, which could adversely affect our business.

 

THE SUCCESS OF OUR BUSINESS DEPENDS IN PART UPON OUR ABILITY TO RECRUIT AND RETAIN KEY PERSONNEL AND MANAGEMENT.

 

We believe that our future success will depend to a significant extent on our ability to recruit, hire, and retain highly skilled management and employees with experience in engineering, product management, business development, sales, marketing, and customer service.  For example, Mr. Bradley Timchuk and Mr. Justin Garrity were appointed as our Chief Executive Officer and President, respectively, in September 2014, and Mr. Roger Rowe was appointed as our Chief Financial Officer in January 2015. Competition for such skilled personnel in the software and social media industry can be intense, and there can be no assurance that we will be successful in attracting and retaining such personnel. If we are unable to do so, we may experience inadequate levels of staffing to develop and license our products and perform services for our customers, adversely affecting our business. In addition, we have in the past restructured or made other adjustments to our workforce in response to management changes, product changes, performance issues, acquisitions, and other internal and external considerations. Workforce restructurings could result in a temporary lack of focus and reduced productivity, negatively affecting our revenues and operations.

 

THE INABILITY TO PROTECT OUR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY COULD HARM OUR ABILITY TO COMPETE.

 

Our ability to compete successfully will depend, in part, on our ability to protect our proprietary technology and operations without infringing upon the rights of others. We may fail to do so. We rely primarily on a combination of patent, trade secret, copyright and trademark laws, and contractual provisions to protect our intellectual property and proprietary rights. Our trademarks include TigerLogic, Postano, Omnis, Omnis Studio, mvDesigner, among others. We have fifteen issued U.S. patents and three pending U.S. patent applications as of December 31, 2014. Although we have been issued various patents and other patent applications are currently pending, there can be no assurance that any of these patents or other proprietary rights will not be challenged, invalidated or circumvented or that our rights will, in fact, provide competitive advantages to us. In addition, there can be no assurance that patents will be issued from pending applications or that claims allowed on any patents will be sufficiently broad to protect our technology. Further, the laws of some foreign countries may not protect our proprietary rights to the same extent as do the laws of the United States. The outcome of any actions taken in these foreign countries may be different than if such actions were determined under the laws of the United States. Although we are not dependent on any individual patents or group of patents for

 

25



Table of Contents

 

particular segments of the business for which we compete, if we are unable to protect our proprietary rights to the totality of the features (including aspects of products protected other than by patent rights) in a market, we may find ourselves at a competitive disadvantage to others who need not incur the substantial expense, time, and effort required to create innovative products. In addition to trademark and copyright protections, we generally license our products to end users on a “right to use” basis pursuant to license agreements that restrict use of products to a specified number of users or a specified usage.

 

We generally rely on “click-wrap” licenses that become effective when a customer downloads and installs software on its system or accesses and uses our software. In order to retain exclusive ownership rights to our software and technology, we generally provide our software in object code only, with contractual restrictions on copying, disclosure, and transferability. We generally sell time-based subscriptions to access our hosted Postano platform on a “terms of service” basis. We generally rely on “click-through” licenses that become effective when the subscription begins and to a lesser extent, master services agreements. We protect our Postano technology by controlling access to the hosted platform; without such access, any links to the platform, such as those in our Postano Social Hub offering, would not function. There can be no assurance that these protections will be adequate, that our license agreements will be enforceable in the United States or foreign jurisdictions or that our competitors will not independently develop technologies that are substantially equivalent or superior to our technology.

 

A BREACH IN INFORMATION PRIVACY COULD NEGATIVELY IMPACT OUR OPERATIONS.

 

The protection of our customer, employee and company data is critically important to us. We utilize customer data captured through our online activities. Our customers have a high expectation that we will adequately safeguard and protect their personal information. A significant breach of customer, employee or company data could damage our reputation and relationships with our customers and result in lost revenues, fines and lawsuits.

 

THIRD PARTIES COULD FILE CLAIMS ASSERTING THAT OUR SOFTWARE PRODUCTS OR SERVICES INFRINGE ON THEIR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS, RESULTING IN POTENTIALLY COSTLY LITIGATION, PRODUCT SHIPMENT DELAYS, PRODUCT LICENSING PROHIBITIONS OR REQUIREMENTS TO ENTER INTO ROYALTY OR LICENSING AGREEMENTS.

 

There has been a substantial amount of litigation in the software and online services industry regarding intellectual property rights and there is significant uncertainty in our industry as many of the legal principles associated with software and online services continue to evolve rapidly. Third parties may file claims against us or our customers asserting that our current or potential future products or services, including our acquired products and technologies, infringe upon their intellectual property rights. Third parties on occasion have and may continue to assert that our products and technologies are subject to license requirements. We may be periodically involved in any number of ordinary course of business proceedings of this type. We expect that software product developers and providers of software applications, and online services will increasingly be subject to infringement claims as the number of products, services, and competitors in our industry segment grow and the functionality of products and services in different industry segments overlap. Because of the existence of a large number of patents in the software field, the secrecy of some pending patents, and the rapid rate of issuance of new patents, it is not economically practical or even possible to determine in advance whether a product or any of its components infringes or will infringe on the patent rights of others. The asserted claims and/or initiated litigation can include claims against us or our suppliers or customers, alleging infringement of their proprietary rights with respect to our existing or future products or components of those products. Regardless of the merit of these claims, they can be time-consuming, result in costly litigation and diversion of technical and management personnel or require us to develop a non-infringing technology, enter into royalty or licensing agreements, or be subject to requests for injunctive remedies. Where claims are made by customers, resistance even to unmeritorious claims could damage customer relationships. There can be no assurance that licenses will be available on acceptable terms and conditions, if at all or that our indemnification by our suppliers will be adequate to cover our costs if a claim were brought directly against us or our customers. Furthermore, because of the potential for high court awards that are not necessarily predictable, it is not unusual to find even arguably unmeritorious claims settled for significant amounts. If any infringement or other intellectual property claim made against us by any third party is successful, if we are required to indemnify a customer with respect to a claim against the customer or if we fail to develop non-infringing technology or license the proprietary rights on commercially reasonable terms and conditions, our business, operating results, and financial condition could be materially and adversely affected.

 

OUR PRODUCTS MAY CONTAIN SOFTWARE DEFECTS POTENTIALLY HARMING OUR BUSINESS.

 

Our software products may contain undetected errors or failures. This includes our Postano products because they are in the early stages of the product life cycle. This may result in loss of or delay in, customer acceptance of our products and could harm our reputation and our business. Undetected errors or failures in computer software programs are not uncommon.

 

26



Table of Contents

 

The detection and correction of any security flaws can be time consuming and costly. Errors in our software products could affect the ability of our products to work with other hardware or software products, could delay the development or release of new products or new versions of products and could adversely affect market acceptance of our products, including products integrated with our acquired technologies. If we experience errors or delays in releasing new products or new versions of products, we could lose revenues. End users who rely on our products and services for applications that are critical to their businesses may have a greater sensitivity to product errors and security vulnerabilities than customers for software products generally. Software product errors and security flaws in our products or services could expose us to product liability, performance or warranty claims, as well as harm our reputation, which could impact our future sales of products and services.

 

IF ASTORIA OR OTHER SECURITIES HOLDERS REQUEST REGISTRATION OF THEIR RESTRICTED SECURITIES OR THESE SECURITIES HOLDERS SELL A SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNT OF RESTRICTED SECURITIES IN THE OPEN MARKET, OUR STOCK PRICE MAY DECLINE.

 

As of December 31, 2014, we had 30,946,817 outstanding shares of common stock, of which approximately 15.9 million shares were restricted securities held by Astoria and other holders. Restricted securities may be sold in the public market only if they are registered or if they qualify for an exemption from registration under the Securities Act. At present, all of our outstanding restricted securities may be registered or are eligible for public sale under Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, subject to volume limitations and other requirements of Rule 144.

 

Sales of a substantial number of shares of common stock by Astoria or other securities holders in the public market or the perception that those sales may occur, could cause the market price of our common stock to decline. In addition, if we register shares of our common stock in connection with a public offering of securities, we may be required to include shares of restricted securities in the registration, including shares we issued in connection with the Storycode acquisition, possibly adversely affecting our ability to raise capital.

 

OUR GLOBAL OPERATIONS EXPOSE US TO ADDITIONAL RISKS AND CHALLENGES ASSOCIATED WITH CONDUCTING BUSINESS INTERNATIONALLY.

 

We operate on a global basis with offices or distributors in Europe, Africa, Asia, Latin America, South America, Australia, and North America and development efforts in North America and Europe. Approximately 33% and 39% of our revenue for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2014, respectively, were generated from our international offices. We face several risks inherent in conducting business internationally, including but not limited to the following:

 

·                  general economic conditions in each country or region;

·                  fluctuations in interest rates or currency exchange rates;

·                  language and cultural differences;

·                  local and governmental requirements;

·                  political or social unrest;

·                  difficulties and costs of staffing and managing international operations;

·                  potentially adverse tax consequences;

·                  differences in intellectual property protections;

·                  difficulties in collecting accounts receivable and longer collection periods;

·                  seasonal business activities in certain parts of the world; and

·                  trade policies.

 

In addition, compliance with international and U.S. laws and regulations that apply to our international operations increases our cost of doing business in foreign jurisdictions. These laws and regulations include data privacy requirements, labor relations laws, tax laws, anti-competition regulations, import and trade restrictions, export requirements, U.S. laws such as the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, and also local laws prohibiting corrupt payments to governmental officials. Violations of these laws and regulations could result in fines, criminal sanctions against us, our officers or our employees, and prohibitions on the conduct of our business. Any such violations could include prohibitions on our ability to offer our products and services in one or more countries, could delay or prevent potential acquisitions, and could also materially damage our reputation, our brand, our international expansion efforts, our ability to attract and retain employees, our business, and our operating results. Our success depends, in part, on our ability to anticipate these risks and manage these difficulties. These factors or any combination of these factors may adversely affect our revenue or our overall financial performance.

CHANGES IN OUR PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES OR ADVERSE OUTCOMES RESULTING FROM EXAMINATION OF OUR INCOME TAX RETURNS COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR OPERATING RESULTS

 

Our provision for income taxes is subject to volatility and could be adversely affected by earnings being lower than anticipated in countries that have lower tax rates and higher than anticipated in countries that have higher tax rates; by changes in the valuation of our deferred tax assets and liabilities; by expiration of or lapses in the R&D tax credit laws; by transfer pricing adjustments, including our intercompany cost sharing arrangements and legal structure; by tax effects of nondeductible compensation; by tax costs related to intercompany realignments; by changes in accounting principles; or by changes in tax laws and regulations, including possible U.S. changes to the taxation of earnings of our foreign subsidiaries, the deductibility of expenses attributable to foreign income or the foreign tax credit rules. Significant judgment is required to determine the recognition and measurement attribute prescribed in the accounting guidance for uncertainty in income taxes. The accounting guidance for uncertainty in income taxes applies to all income tax positions, including the potential recovery of previously paid taxes, which if settled unfavorably could adversely impact our provision for income taxes or additional paid-in capital. In addition, we have and may become subject to the examination of our income tax returns by the Internal Revenue Service and other tax authorities. We regularly assess the likelihood of adverse outcomes resulting from these examinations to determine the adequacy of our provision for income taxes. There can be no assurance that the outcomes from these examinations will not have an adverse effect on our operating results and financial condition.

 

THE FAILURE OF OUR PRODUCTS TO CONTINUE TO CONFORM TO INDUSTRY STANDARDS MAY HARM OUR OPERATING RESULTS.

 

A key factor in our future success will continue to be the ability of our products to operate and perform well with existing and future, industry-standard enterprise software applications intended to be used in connection with our Omnis and social and mobile products. Inter-operability may require third party licenses, which may not be available to us on favorable terms or at all. Failure to meet existing or future inter-operability and performance requirements of industry standard applications in a timely manner could adversely affect our business. Uncertainties relating to the timing and nature of new product announcements or introductions or modifications of third party software applications could delay our product development, increase our product development expense or cause customers to delay evaluation, purchase, and deployment of our products.

 

INEFFECTIVE INTERNAL CONTROLS COULD IMPACT OUR BUSINESS AND OPERATING RESULTS.

 

Our internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements because of its inherent limitations, including the possibility of human error, the circumvention or overriding of controls or fraud. Even effective internal controls can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements. As a smaller reporting company under the SEC rules and regulations, we are currently not subject to the requirements of independent auditor attestation of management’s assessment of our internal controls over financial reporting set forth in Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes Oxley Act of 2002 because the Dodd Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act signed into law on July 21, 2010 permanently exempted companies that are not “accelerated filers” or “large accelerated filers” under the SEC rules from Section 404(b) requirements. If, in the future, we no longer qualify as a smaller reporting company and become an accelerated filer or a large accelerated filer (which may occur if the trading price of our stock, and therefore, our public float, increase significantly, as calculated on an annual basis), we will become subject to the requirements of Section 404(b) in such fiscal years. If such audit identifies any material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, we may be required to provide appropriate disclosures and implement costly and time consuming remedial measures. If we fail to maintain the adequacy of our internal controls, including any failure to implement required new or improved controls or if we experience difficulties in implementation, our business and operating results could be harmed and we could fail to meet our financial reporting obligations.

 

BUSINESS DISRUPTIONS COULD HURT OUR ABILITY TO EFFECTIVELY PROVIDE OUR PRODUCTS AND SERVICES, DAMAGING OUR REPUTATION AND HARMING OUR OPERATING RESULTS.

 

The availability of our products and services depends on the continuing operation of our information technology systems. Our business operations are vulnerable to damage or interruption from earthquakes, terrorist attacks, floods, fires, power loss, telecommunication failures, computer viruses, computer denial of service attacks or other attempts to harm our systems. A significant portion of our research and development activities and certain other critical business operations are located in areas with a high risk of major earthquakes. Although we maintain crisis management and disaster response plans, such events could make it difficult or impossible for us to deliver our services to our customers, and could decrease demand for our services, which could damage our reputation and harm our operating results.

 

WE OUTSOURCE SOME TECHNOLOGY-RELATED BUSINESS PROCESSES TO THIRD PARTY VENDORS, WHICH SUBJECTS US TO RISKS, INCLUDING DISRUPTIONS IN BUSINESS AND INCREASED COSTS.

 

These include credit card authorization and processing, payroll processing, record keeping for retirement and benefit plans and certain information technology functions. In addition, we review outsourcing alternatives on a regular basis and may decide to outsource additional business processes in the future. We try to ensure that all providers of outsourced services are observing proper internal control practices, such as redundant processing facilities; however, there are no guarantees that failures will not occur. Failure of third parties to provide adequate services could have an adverse effect on our results of operations or ability to accomplish our financial and management reporting.
