Bronto Software, Inc. and Subsidiaries:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Bronto Software, Inc. (a Delaware corporation) and Subsidiaries, which comprise the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2014, and the related consolidated statement of comprehensive loss, stockholders’ equity (deficit), and cash flow for the year then ended, and the related notes to the consolidated financial statements.
Management’s responsibility for the financial statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor’s responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
Opinion
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Bronto Software, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2014, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Notes to financial statements
1 | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies |
Description of Business and Basis of Presentation
Bronto Software, Inc. (the Company or Bronto) was incorporated as a Delaware corporation on May 15, 2002. The Company provides on-demand marketing software solutions to online retailers.
The Company’s consolidated financial statements include the accounts of its wholly owned subsidiaries, Bronto Software Limited, which is located in the United Kingdom (UK) and Bronto Software PTY LTD in Australia (AUS). All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S.) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Foreign Currency Translation
The functional currency of the Company’s UK and AUS operations is deemed to be the local currency. Accordingly, the assets and liabilities of the Company’s UK and AUS subsidiaries are translated into U.S. dollars using the year-end rate of exchange. Revenue and expenses are translated at the weighted-average exchange rates for the year. The resulting translation adjustments are charged or credited to other comprehensive income. Gains or losses from foreign currency transactions, such as those resulting from the settlement of receivables or payables denominated in foreign currency are included in the earnings of the period in which settlement occurs, and were not material to the Company’s operations.
Segments
The Company manages its operations as a single segment for purposes of assessing performance and making operating decisions.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with initial maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents are stated at cost, which approximates fair value.
Restricted Cash
The Company maintains restricted cash balances totaling $208,123 for the year ended December 31, 2014. The Company is required to maintain $208,123 in an account at a bank as collateral for a letter of credit. The account consists of two certificates of deposit which are required to renew annually over the term of the Company’s office lease agreements which end on July 31, 2023 (see Note 9).
Accounts Receivable
The Company provides for an allowance for doubtful accounts based on management’s best estimate of probable losses determined principally on the basis of historical experience and specific allowances for known troubled accounts. All accounts or portions thereof that are deemed to be uncollectible or that require an excessive collection cost are written off to the allowance for doubtful accounts when it is probable that the receivable is uncollectible. The Company recorded an allowance for doubtful accounts of $106,532 at December 31, 2014. In the opinion of management, the allowance for doubtful accounts is reasonable. Actual results could differ from the estimates that were used.
Bronto Software, Inc. and Subsidiaries 9
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially expose the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash. As of December 31, 2014, the Company had a cash balance at certain financial institutions in excess of federally insured limits. The Company maintains its cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash with accredited financial institutions. The Company believes credit risk related to its cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash to be minimal.
Deferred Commission Expense
Deferred commission expense is the incremental cost that is directly associated with non-cancelable subscription agreements and consists of sales commissions paid to the Company’s sales and account management personnel. The commissions are deferred and amortized on a straight-line basis over the non-cancelable terms of the related customer contracts, which are up to one year. The deferred commission amounts are recoverable from the future revenue streams under the non-cancelable subscription agreements. Amortization of deferred commissions is included in sales and marketing expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of comprehensive loss.
During the year ended December 31, 2014, the Company capitalized $2,167,340 of deferred commission expense and amortized $1,859,270 to sales and marketing expense.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the shorter of the life of the lease or the estimated useful life of the improvement. Estimated useful lives of the assets are as follows:
Years | ||
Computer equipment | 3 | |
Software | 3 | |
Furniture and fixtures | 3 | |
Leasehold improvements | 7 | |
Upon retirement or sale, the cost of assets disposed of and the related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and any resulting gain or loss is credited or charged to income. Repairs and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred.
Impairment of Long-lived Assets
Long-lived assets, such as property and equipment, are subject to depreciation and are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized for an amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the estimated future cash flows.
Revenue Recognition and Deferred Revenue
The Company provides access to its products through non-cancelable subscription arrangements of varying length, whereby the customer is charged a fee. Subscription arrangements include access to use the Company’s software via the internet and support services such as telephone support. The Company’s customers do not have the right to take possession of the software and use it on another entity’s hardware. When there is evidence of an arrangement, the fee is fixed or determinable and collectability is deemed probable, the Company recognizes revenue on a daily basis over the subscription term as the services are delivered.
The Company’s arrangements do not contain general rights of return.
The Company establishes persuasive evidence of an arrangement by end user acceptance of contract terms and conditions pursuant to the Company’s standard subscription order form or a click-through contract on the Company’s website whereby the customer agrees to the Company’s standard terms of service.
Bronto Software, Inc. and Subsidiaries 10
The Company also offers professional services to its customers for the design of custom email templates. Professional services revenue is accounted for separate from subscription revenue as those services have value on a standalone basis and do not involve a significant degree of risk or unique acceptance criteria and as the fair value of the Company’s subscription services is evidenced by their availability on a standalone basis. Professional services revenue is recognized as the services are completed.
Deferred Revenue – Deferred revenue primarily consists of billings or payments received in advance of revenue recognition of the Company’s products described above and is recognized as the revenue recognition criteria are met. The Company’s customers pay for services in advance on a monthly, quarterly, semi-annual, or annual basis.
Barter Contracts – Barter contracts provide use of the Company’s products in exchange for services, most of which are advertising related. Barter revenue, which is based on the fair value of the services provided, is recorded over the contract period, typically one year. Barter advertising expense is recorded when advertising service is rendered by the unrelated entity, and is reflected in the statements of comprehensive loss as sales and marketing expense. Included in revenue in 2014 was $303,619 of barter revenue. Equal amounts of barter expense are included in advertising costs.
Cost of Revenue
Cost of revenue primarily consists of salaries and personnel-related costs for employees providing services to customers and supporting the platform infrastructure, including benefits, bonuses and stock-based compensation. Additional expenses include facility and hosting costs for the Company’s data center, depreciation expense for computer equipment directly associated with generating revenue, infrastructure maintenance costs, and other direct costs.
Software and Website Development Costs
Development costs of the Company’s website and on-demand products incurred in the preliminary stages of development are expensed as incurred. Once an application has reached the development stage, internal and external costs, if direct and incremental, are capitalized until the software is substantially complete and ready for its intended use. None of the software development costs in 2014 met the criteria for capitalization and, therefore, were expensed as incurred.
Research and Development
Research and development expenses are charged to operations in the period incurred and consist primarily of salaries and benefits paid to employees.
Advertising Costs
The Company expenses advertising costs as incurred. The Company incurred $1,691,273 in advertising costs during the year ended December 31, 2014, which are included in sales and marketing on the consolidated statement of comprehensive loss. Included in advertising costs in 2014 was $303,619 of barter advertising expense.
Income Taxes
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax bases of assets and liabilities using the enacted tax rates in effect in the years in which the differences are expected to reverse. In estimating future tax consequences, all expected future events are considered other than enactment of changes in the tax law or rates.
The Company may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more-likely-than-not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position should be measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement.
The determination of recording or releasing income tax valuation allowance is made, in part, pursuant to an assessment performed by management regarding the likelihood that the Company will generate future taxable income against which benefits of its deferred tax assets may or may not be realized. This assessment requires management to exercise significant judgment and make estimates with respect to its ability to generate taxable income in future periods.
Bronto Software, Inc. and Subsidiaries 11
Share-based Compensation
The Company accounts for share-based compensation using the fair value method of accounting which requires all such compensation to employees, including the grant of employee stock options, to be recognized in the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss based on its fair value at the measurement date (generally the grant date). The expense associated with share-based compensation is recognized on a straight-line basis over the service period of each award.
During 2014, the Company recorded $350,249 in employee share-based compensation expense.
Determining the appropriate fair value model and the related assumptions requires judgment. The fair value of each option grant is estimated using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model on the date of grant as follows:
2014 | |||
Estimated dividend yield | — | % | |
Expected stock price volatility | 58.86 | % | |
Weighted-average risk-free interest rate | 1.92 | % | |
Expected life of options (in years) | 5.99 | ||
Weighted-average fair value per share | $ | 2.34 | |
Due to limited historical data, the Company estimates stock price volatility based on the actual volatility of comparable publicly traded companies over the expected life of the option. The expected term represents the average time that options that vest are expected to be outstanding. The Company does not have sufficient history of the exercise of stock options to estimate the expected term of employee stock options and thus continues to calculate expected life based on the mid-point between the vesting date and the contractual term which is in accordance with the simplified method. The risk-free rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve during the expected life of the option.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In August 2014, the FASB issued new accounting guidance which addresses management’s responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related footnote disclosures. Management’s evaluation should be based on relevant conditions and events that are known and reasonably knowable at the date that the financial statements are issued. This guidance is effective for the fiscal year ending after December 15, 2016, and for fiscal years and interim periods thereafter. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect to early adopt this guidance and does not believe that the adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on its financial statements.
In May 2014, the FASB issued new accounting guidance on revenue recognition, which provides for a single five‑step model to be applied to all revenue contracts with customers. The new standard also requires additional financial statement disclosures that will enable users to understand the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows relating to customer contracts. Companies have an option to use either a retrospective approach or cumulative effect adjustment approach to implement the standard. This guidance is effective for private companies for fiscal years and interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the implementation of this standard will have on its financial statements.
In July 2013, the FASB issued a revised accounting standard, which clarifies that an unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion of an unrecognized tax benefit, should be presented in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward if such settlement is required or expected in the event the uncertain tax position is disallowed. In situations where a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward is not available at the reporting date under the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction, or the tax law of the jurisdiction does not require, and the entity does not intend to use, the deferred tax asset for such purpose; the unrecognized tax benefit should be presented in the financial statements as a liability and should not be combined with deferred tax assets. This standard is effective prospectively for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013. Retrospective application is permitted. The Company adopted this guidance on January 1, 2014. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

As of December 31, 2014, the Company had federal, state, and foreign net operating loss carryforwards of $1,176,900, $561,400, and $3,609,000, respectively. The federal net operating loss carryforward begins to expire in 2032, and the state net operating loss carryforward begins to expire in 2029. The foreign net operating loss carryforward may be carried over indefinitely. The Company anticipates sufficient income in the future to utilize the majority of its federal and state net operating loss carryforwards and, as such, has recognized the benefit of the deferred tax assets in these financial statements. However, for financial reporting purposes, a valuation allowance of $1,117,900 has been recognized to offset the deferred tax assets relating to the foreign net operating loss carryforward, and certain of its federal net operating loss carryforward. The utilization of the foreign loss carryforward to reduce future income taxes will depend on the Company’s ability to generate sufficient taxable income.
The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in the provision for income taxes. As of December 31, 2014 , the Company had no accrued interest related to uncertain tax positions.
