Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

March 31, ~~2019~~2020

(Unaudited)


1.	Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies

Financial Statements

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited and have been prepared on a basis substantially consistent with the Company's audited financial statements as of and for the year ended September 30, 2019 included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K.

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. Operating results for the six month period ended March 31, ~~2019~~2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results that might be expected for the year ending September 30, ~~2019.~~2020.

Financing Receivables

Financing receivables consist of customer receivables resulting from the sale of the Company's products and services, primarily software and long-term customer support contracts, and are presented net of allowance for losses. The Company has a single portfolio consisting of fixed-term receivables, which is further segregated into two classes based on ~~products, customer~~ type of product and ~~credit risk evaluation.~~lease.

Amounts receivable of $526 thousand at September 30, 2019 primarily represents sales of perpetual software licenses to a single international distributor on invoices outstanding for product delivered from March 2016 through June 2017.

The Company generally determines its allowance for losses on financing receivables at the customer class level by considering a number of factors, including the length of time financing ~~receivable~~receivables are past due, historical and anticipated experience, the customer’s current ability to pay its obligation, and the condition of the general economy and the industry as a whole. The Company writes off financing receivables when they become uncollectible, and payments subsequently received on such receivables are credited to the allowance for financing receivable losses. Interest is not accrued on past due receivables. There was an allowance of $526 thousand at ~~March 31, 2019 and~~ September 30, ~~2018.~~2019.

~~The Company's financing receivables are aggregated into~~During the ~~following categories:~~

Long-term customer support contracts: These contracts are typically entered into in conjunction with sale-type lease arrangements, over the life of which the Company agrees to provide support services similar to those offered within Mediasite Customer Care plans. Contract terms range from 3-5 years, and payments are generally due from the customer annually on the contract anniversary. There was $290 thousand and $281 thousand of receivables outstanding for long-term customer support contracts as ofperiod ended March 31, ~~2019 and September 30, 2018, respectively. All amounts due were current as of the balance sheet date and there are no credit losses expected to be incurred related to long-term support contracts.~~

Product receivables: Amounts receivable primarily represent sales of perpetual software licenses to a single international distributor on invoices outstanding for product delivered from March 2016 through June 2017. There was $2.1 million receivable as of September 30, 2017, $1.5 million of which was deferred for revenue recognition purposes due to a history of delayed payment. As of September 30, 2018, the deferred balance related to this receivable was zero as2020 it was ~~fully allowed for as a loss. As a result of~~determined that the ~~circumstances described,~~financing receivable would not be collected. Therefore, both the ~~entire allowance for losses on~~ financing ~~receivables~~receivable of $526 thousand ~~is considered attributable to this class~~and the corresponding reserve of ~~customer as of March 31, 2019.~~

~~Financing receivables consisted of the following (in thousands) as of:~~

Inventory ~~Valuation~~

Inventory consists of raw materials and supplies used in the assembly of Mediasite recorders and finished units. Inventory of completed units and spare parts are carried at the lower of cost or net realizable value, with cost determined on a first-in, first-out basis. An obsolescence reserve has been established to account for slow moving inventory.

Asset Retirement Obligation

An asset retirement obligation (“ARO”) associated with the retirement of a tangible long-lived asset is recognized as a liability in the period in which it is incurred or becomes determinable, with an associated increase in the carrying amount of the related long-term asset. The cost of the tangible asset, including the initially recognized asset retirement cost, is depreciated over the useful life of the asset. As of March 31, 2020 and September 30, 2019, the Company has recorded a liability of $130 thousand and $129 thousand, respectively, for retirement obligations associated with returning the MSKK leased property to the respective lessors upon the termination of the lease arrangement. Asset retirement obligations are included in other-long term liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company’s long-lived assets are nonfinancial assets that were acquired either as part of a business combination, individually or with a group of other assets. These nonfinancial assets were initially measured and recognized at amounts equal to the fair value determined as of the date of acquisition. Fair value measurements of reporting units are estimated using an income approach involving discounted or undiscounted cash flow models and the public company guideline method that contain certain Level 3 inputs requiring management judgment, including projections of economic conditions and customer demand, revenue and margins, changes in competition, operating costs, working capital requirements, and new product introductions. Fair value measurements associated with the Company’s long-lived assets are estimated when events or changes in circumstances such as market value, asset utilization, physical change, legal factors, or other matters indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable.

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

Level 1 Inputs: Unadjusted quoted prices which are available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities accessible to the Company at the measurement date.

Level 2 Inputs: Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.

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

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

Financial Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on Recurring Basis

The initial fair values of PFG debt and warrant debt and the Burish note purchase agreement (see Note 4) were based on the present value of expected future cash flows and assumptions about current interest rates and the creditworthiness of the Company (Level 3). The fair value of the bifurcated conversion feature represented by the warrant derivative liability ~~which~~associated with the PFG debt is measured at fair value on a recurring basis is based on a Black Scholes option pricing model with assumptions for stock price, exercise price, volatility, expected term, risk free interest rate and dividend yield similar to those described for share-based compensation which were generally observable (Level 2).

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


March 31, 2019	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total Fair Value
March 31, 2020									Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total Fair Value
Derivative liability	$	—	$	10	$	—	$	10	$	—	$	72	$	—	$	72

Financial Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis

~~Included below is a summary~~

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

The Mr. Mark Burish ("Mr. Burish") warrant was measured at fair value using a Black Scholes model and the remaining fair value was allocated to the related Mr. Burish note purchase agreement (see Note 4) which management believes materially approximates the fair value based on calculating the present value of expected future cash flows (Level 3). The non-recurring fair value measurements ~~(in thousands):~~

Financial Instruments Not Measured at Fair Value

The Company's other financial instruments consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, investment in sales-type lease, financing receivables, accounts payable and debt instruments ~~excluding the PFG debt and Burish notes,~~ and capital lease obligations. The book values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, investment in sales-type lease, and accounts payable are considered to be representative of their respective fair ~~values.~~values due their short term nature. The carrying value of ~~capital lease obligations and~~ debt ~~(excluding the PFG debt and Burish notes),~~ including the current portion, approximates fair market value as the variable and fixed rate approximates the current market rate of interest available to the Company.

Legal Contingencies

When legal proceedings are brought or claims are made against the Company and the outcome is uncertain, we are required to determine whether it is probable that an asset has been impaired or a liability has been incurred. If such impairment or liability is probable and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated, the loss must be charged to earnings.

When it is considered probable that a loss has been incurred, but the amount of loss cannot be estimated, disclosure but not accrual of the probable loss is required. Disclosure of a loss contingency is also required when it is reasonably possible, but not probable, that a loss has been incurred and there is a possibility the loss could be material.

No legal contingencies were recorded or were required to be disclosed for the three or six months ended March 31, ~~2019~~2020 or ~~2018.~~2019.

Stock Based Compensation

The Company uses a lattice valuation model to account for all employee stock options granted. The lattice valuation model is a more flexible analysis to value options because of its ability to incorporate inputs that change over time, such as actual exercise

behavior of option holders. The Company uses historical data to estimate the option exercise and employee departure behavior in the lattice valuation model. Expected volatility is based on historical volatility of the Company’s stock. The Company considers all employees to have similar exercise behavior and therefore has not identified separate homogeneous groups for valuation. The expected term of options granted is derived from the output of the option pricing model and represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding. The risk-free rate for periods the options are expected to be outstanding is based on the U.S. Treasury yields in effect at the time of grant. Forfeitures are based on actual behavior patterns. The expected exercise factor and forfeiture rates are calculated using historical exercise and forfeiture activity for the previous three years.

The fair value of each option grant is estimated using the assumptions in the following table:


	Six Months Ended March 31,		Six Months Ended March 31,
	2019	2018	2020	2019
Expected life	4.3 years	4.3-4.4 years	4.5 years	4.3 years
Risk-free interest rate	2.48%-2.93%	1.79%-2.40%	1.41% - 1.63%	2.48% - 2.93%
Expected volatility	60.19%-66.05%	62.45%-63.49%	72.40% - 73.46%	60.19% - 66.05%
Expected forfeiture rate	13.51%-14.76%	12.53%-13.53%	15.05% - 15.38%	13.51% - 14.76%

Preferred ~~stock~~Stock and ~~dividends~~

In May 2017, the Company created a new series of preferred stock entitled "9% Cumulative Voting Convertible Preferred Stock, Series A" (the "Preferred Stock, Series A"). One thousand shares were authorized with a stated value and liquidation preference of $1,000 per share. In August 2017, 1,500 additional shares were authorized for an aggregated total of 2,500 shares. In November 2017, In May 2018, 2,000 additional shares were authorized for an aggregated total of 4,500 shares. Holders of the Preferred Stock, Series A will receive monthly dividends at an annual rate of 9%, payable in additional shares of Preferred Stock, Series A. Dividends declared on the preferred stock are earned monthly as additional shares and accounted for as a reduction to paid-in capital since the Company is currently in an accumulated deficit position. Each share of Preferred Stock, Series A is convertible into that number of shares of common stock determined by dividing $4.23 into the liquidation amount. A total of 2,056 and 2,678 shares of Preferred Stock, Series A were issued and outstanding as of March 31, 2019 and September 30, 2018, respectively.

On November 7, 2017, the Company entered into an Agreement in which Mark Burish's right to convert shares of Series A Preferred Stock into common stock is waived until shareholder approval has been obtained. The right to vote said shares of Series A Preferred Stock to approve the issuance of the Series A Preferred Stock has also been waived.

On November 9, 2017, the Company sold to Mr. Burish $500 thousand of shares of Preferred Stock, Series A, at $762.85 per share. Mark Burish is a director of the Company and beneficially owns more than 5% of the Company’s common stock. These agreements were approved by the Special Committee of Disinterested Directors.

The Company considered relevant guidance when accounting for the issuance of preferred stock, and determined that the preferred shares meet the criteria for equity classification. Dividends accrued on preferred shares will be shown as a reduction to net income (or an increase in net loss) for purposes of calculating earnings per ~~share.~~

On May 17, 2018, $1.0 million of subordinated convertible debt was fully converted into 1,902 shares of Preferred Stock, Series A, following approval by the stockholders of the Company of the conversion sufficient to comply with rules and regulations of Nasdaq. See Note 4 related to accounting for the conversion.

~~On June 8, 2018, 905 shares of Preferred Stock, Series A were automatically converted by the Company into 213,437 shares of~~ common ~~stock. The amount of shares converted represents all preferred shares issued on May 30, 2017 and June 8, 2017, including related dividends.~~

On August 23, 2018, 717 shares of Preferred Stock, Series A were automatically converted by the Company into 169,485 shares of common stock. The amount of shares converted represents all preferred shares issued on August 23, 2017, including related dividends.

On November 15, 2018, 718 shares of Preferred Stock, Series A were automatically converted by the Company into 169,741 shares of common stock. The amount of shares converted represents all preferred shares issued on November 9, 2017, including related dividends.share.

Per ~~share computation~~Share Computation

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

Liquidity

At March 31, ~~2019,~~2020, approximately ~~$867 thousand~~$1.5 million of cash and cash equivalents was held by the Company's foreign subsidiaries.

~~On February 28, 2019, Sonic Foundry, Inc. entered into a Note Purchase Agreement with Burish for $5.0 million in cash.~~

~~See Note 4 - Credit Arrangements for additional information on this transaction.~~

The Company believes its cash position plus available resources is adequate to accomplish its business plan through at least the next twelve months. We will likely evaluate ~~operating and capital leases~~lease opportunities to finance equipment purchases in the future and anticipate ~~utilizing~~continuing to utilize proceeds from the ~~recent~~ note purchase agreement to support working capital needs. We may also seek additional equity financing ~~and~~but there are no assurances that these will be on terms acceptable to the Company.

~~Assets recognized from~~Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In August 2018, the ~~costs to obtain a contract with a customer~~

Sales commissions and related expenses are considered incremental and recoverable costs of acquiring customer contracts. These costs are capitalized and amortized on a straight-line basis over the anticipated period of benefit, which we have determined to be the contract period, typically around 12 months. Assets recorded are included in current assets and other long-term assets. Amortization expense is recorded in sales and marketing expense within our condensed consolidated statement of operations. We calculate a quarterly average percentage based on actual commissions incurred on billings during the same period and apply that percentageFinancial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2018-13, "Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework-Changes to the ~~respective periods’ unearned revenues to determine~~Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurements", ("ASU 2018-13"). ASU 2018-13 modifies the ~~capitalized commission amount by contract.~~

~~Revenue recognition - ASC 606~~

~~We generate revenues~~disclosure requirements on fair value measurements in ~~the form of hardware sales of our Mediasite recorder~~Topic 820. The amendments in ASU 2018-13 are effective for all entities for fiscal years, and Mediasite related products, such as our server software and other software licenses and related customer support and services fees, including hosting, installations and training. Software license revenues include fees from sales of perpetual and term licenses. Maintenance and services revenues primarily consist of fees for maintenance services (including support and unspecified upgrades and enhancements when and if they are available), hosting, installation, training and other professional services.

~~In accordance with ASC Topic 606,~~ ~~Revenue from Contracts with Customers~~ ("ASC 606"), revenues are recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to our customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration to which we expect to be entitled in exchange forinterim periods within those ~~goods and services. To achieve this core principle, we apply the following five steps:~~

~~Identify the contract with a customer.~~ A contract with a customer exists when: (1) we and the customer have approved the contract and both parties are committed to perform their respective obligations; (2) we can identify each party’s rights regarding the products or services to be transferred; (3) we can identify the payment terms for the products or services to be transferred; (4) the contract has commercial substance as our future cash flows are expected to change; and (5) it is probable that we will collect substantially all of the consideration to which we are entitled in exchange for the products or services. Any subsequent contract modifications are analyzed to determine the treatment of the contract modification as a separate contract, prospectively or through a cumulative catch-up adjustment.

~~Identify the performance obligations in the contract.~~ Performance obligations are promises to transfer a good or service to the customer. Performance obligations may be each individual promise in a contract, or may be groups of promises within a contract that significantly affect one another. To the extent a contract includes multiple promises, we must apply judgment to determine whether promises are capable of being distinct and distinct in the context of the contract. If these criteria are not met, the promises are accounted for as a combined performance obligation.


3.	~~Determine the transaction price.~~ ~~The transaction price is the total amount of consideration to which we expect to be entitled in exchange for transferring promised products and services to a customer.~~


4.	~~Allocate the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract.~~ ~~The allocation of the transaction price to performance obligations is generally done in proportion to their standalone selling prices (“SSP”). SSP is the price that~~

we would sell a distinct product or service separately to a customer and is determined at contract inception. At times, there will be observable selling prices for our goods and services, such as for our mortgage servicing software platform. If SSP is not available through the analysis of observable inputs, this step is subject to significant judgment and additional analysis so that we can establish an estimated SSP. The estimated SSP considers all reasonably available information, including market conditions, demands, trends, our specific factors and information about the customer or class of customers. The adjusted market approach is generally used for new products or solutions or when observable inputs are not available or limited.

~~Recognize revenues when or as the company satisfies a performance obligation.~~ We recognize revenues when, or as, distinct performance obligations are satisfied by transferring control of the product or service to the customer. A performance obligation is considered transferred when the customer obtains control of the product or service. Transfer of control is typically evaluated from the customer's perspective. At contract inception, we determine whether we satisfy the performance obligation over time or at a point in time.Revenue is recognized when performance obligations are satisfied.

Our contract payment terms are typically net 30 days. We assess collectability based on a number of factors including collection history and creditworthiness of the customer, and we may mitigate exposures to credit risk by requiring payments in advance. If we determine that collectability related to a contract is not probable, we may not record revenue until collectability becomes probable at a later date.

Our revenues are recorded based on the transaction price excluding amounts collected on behalf of third parties such as sales taxes, which are collected on behalf of and remitted to governmental authorities.

~~Nature of products and services~~

Certain software licenses are sold either on-premises or through term-based hosting agreements. These hosting arrangements provide customers with the same product functionality and differ mainly in the duration over which the customer benefits from the software. We deliver our software licenses electronically. Electronic delivery occurs when we provide the customer with access to the software and license key via a secure portal. Revenue from on-premises software licenses is generally recognized upfront at the point in time when the software is made available to the customer.

Our contracts with customers for on-premises software licenses include maintenance services and may also include training and/or professional services. Maintenance services agreements consist of fees for providing software updates on an if and when available basis and for providing technical support for software products for a specified term. We believe that our software updates and technical support each have the same pattern of transfer to the customer and are substantially the same. Therefore, we consider these updates and technical support to be a single distinct performance obligation. Revenues allocated to maintenance services are recognized ratably as the maintenance services are provided. Revenues related to training services are billed on a fixed fee basis and are recognized as the services are delivered. Payments received in advance of services performed are deferred and recognized when the related services are performed. Revenues related to professional services are billed on a time and materials basis and are recognized as the services are performed.

We also provide cloud-based subscriptions, which allow customers to access our software during a contractual period without taking possession of the software. We recognize revenue related to these cloud-based subscriptions ratably over the life of the subscription agreementfiscal years, beginning ~~when the customer first has access to the software.~~

~~Judgments and estimates~~

Our contracts with customers often include promises to transfer multiple products and services. Determining whether products and services are considered distinct performance obligations that should be accounted for separately from one another sometimes requires judgment.

Judgment is required to determine standalone selling prices (“SSP”) for each distinct performance obligation. We typically have more than one SSP for each of our products and services based on customer stratification, which is based on the size of the customer, their geographic region and market segment. We use other comparable software license sales to determine SSPs for perpetual software licenses. For our cloud-based subscriptions and for maintenance services, training and professional services, SSPs are generally observable using standalone sales and/or renewals. Our on-premises term-based software licenses generally do not have directly observable inputs for determining SSP. Therefore, we determine SSP using other observable inputs including customer buying patterns, renewal rates, cumulative spend comparisons and other industry data.

We evaluate contracts that include options to purchase additional goods or services to determine whether or not the options give rise to a separate performance obligation that is material. If we determine the options are material, the revenue allocated to such options is not recognized until the option is exercised or the option expires.

~~Our revenue recognition accounting policy for ASC 605 is included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2018, which was filed with the SEC on March~~after December 15, 2019. ~~We applied~~The Company does not believe the ~~revenue recognition accounting policy for ASC 605 to our disclosures in Note 1, which include amounts presented for 2018.~~

The Company is in the process of assessing the impact, if any, of this ASU on its consolidated financial statements.

In April 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-04, "Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses, Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and Topic 825, Financial Instruments", ("ASU 2019-04"). ASU 2019-04 identifies certain areas that need clarification and correction in each of these Topics. For Topic 326, for entities that have adopted ASU 2016-13,

the amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within fiscal those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted in any interim period after issuance as long as the entity has adopted the amendments in ASU 2016-13. The Company is currently evaluating the guidance and its impact to the financial statements.

In November 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-08, "Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718) and Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)", ("ASU 2019-08"). This ASU requires that an entity measure and classify share-based payment awards granted to a customer by applying the guidance in Topic 718. For entities that have not yet adopted the amendments in ASU 2018-07, the amendments in this Update are effective for public business entities in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the guidance and its impact to the financial statements.

In November 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-10, "Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326), Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815), and Leases (Topic 842)", ("ASU 2019-10"). This ASU addressed effective dates of the aforementioned major Accounting Standards Updates as a result of the challenges implementation of major standards poses for private companies, smaller reporting companies, and not-for-profit organizations. ASU 2019-10 is a major update which would first be effective for bucket-one entities, which are public entities that are Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") filers, excluding entities eligible to be smaller reporting companies under the SEC's definition. The Company does qualify as a smaller reporting company under the SEC's definition. Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326) is currently not effective for any entities; ASU 2019-10 changes the effective date of this update for all other public companies (including smaller reporting companies) to be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Because Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815) and Leases (Topic 842) are already effective for public business entities the Board retained the effective date for those entities, including smaller reporting companies.

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, "Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes", ("ASU 2019-12"). The amendments in this ASU affect entities within the scope of Topic 740. For public business entities, the amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022. Early adoption of the amendments is permitted, including adoption in any interim period for public entities for periods for which financial statements have not yet been issued. An entity that elects to early adopt the amendments in an interim period should reflect any adjustments as of the beginning of the annual period that includes that interim period. An entity that elects early adoption much adopt all the amendments in the same period. The Company is currently evaluating the guidance and its impact to the financial statements.

In January 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-01, "Investments - Equity Securities (Topic 321), Investments - Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323), and Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815)", ("ASU 2020-01"). The amendments in this ASU affect all entities that apply the guidance in Topics 321, 323, and 815 and either (1) elect to apply the measurement alternative or (2) enter into a forward contract or purchase an option to purchase securities that, upon settlement of the forward contract or exercise of the purchased option, would be accounted for under the equity method of accounting. For public business entities, the amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2020, and interim periods with those fiscal years. The amendments in this ASU should be applied prospectively. Under a prospective transition, an entity should apply the amendments at the beginning of the interim period that includes the adoption date. The Company is currently evaluating the guidance and its impact to the financial statements.

Accounting standards that have been issued but are not yet effective by the FASB or other standards-setting bodies that do not require adoption until a future date, which are not discussed above, are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements upon adoption.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

Leases (ASC Topic 842, Leases ("ASC 842"))

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, "Leases (Topic 842)", ("ASU 2016-02") as well as several other related updates which were codified as ASC 842. On October 1, 2019, we adopted this update using the modified retrospective method through a cumulative-effect adjustment. The reported results for the three and six months ended March 31, 2020 reflect the application of Topic 842, while the comparative information has not been restated and continues to be reported under the related lease accounting standards in effect for those periods. The adoption of this update represents a change in accounting principle and resulted in the recognition of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities of $2.5 million on October 1, 2019. We elected the package of practical expedients, which permits us to leverage our prior conclusions about lease identification, lease classification and initial direct costs incurred. We also elected the practical expedient to combine lease and non-lease components when determining the value

of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities. The primary effect of adopting this update relates to the recognition of our operating leases on our condensed consolidated balance sheets and providing additional disclosures about our leasing activities. Leases previously designated as capital leases are now identified as finance leases and continue to be reported on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Leases previously identified as sales-type leases, where the Company is a lessor, continue to be reported on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Refer to Note 3 - Commitments for additional disclosures related to our leasing activities.

~~Recently adopted accounting pronouncements~~

~~Revenue Recognition (ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers ("ASC 606"))~~

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2014-09 related to revenue recognition and later issued additional ASUs including ASU 2016-08, ASU 2016-10, ASU 2016-12, ASU 2016-20 and ASU 2017-14, all of which clarified certain aspects of ASU 2014-09, and together with ASU 2014-09, which we refer to collectively as the new revenue recognition standard.

On October 1, 2018, we adopted the new revenue recognition standard using the modified retrospective method. Under this method, we recognized the cumulative effect of applying the new revenue recognition standard to existing revenue contracts that were active as of the adoption date as an adjustment to the opening balance of accumulated deficit. Upon adoption, we recorded an adjustment of $1.7 million to our accumulated deficit. See Note 6 for additional detail.

The new revenue recognition standard materially impacts the timing of revenue recognition related to our on-premises term license agreements. Prior to our adoption of the new revenue recognition standard, we historically recognized revenue related to on-premises term license agreements ratably over the term of the licensing agreement. Under the new revenue recognition standard, revenue allocable to the license portion of the arrangement is recognized upon delivery of the license. Maintenance revenues related to on-premises term license agreements continue to be recognized ratably over the term of the licensing agreement. Under the new revenue recognition standard, we allocate total transaction price to performance obligations based on estimated standalone selling prices, which impacts the timing of revenue recognition depending on when each performance obligation is recognized. These impacts to the timing of revenue recognition also affect our deferred revenue balances.

The new revenue recognition standard requires the capitalization of certain incremental costs of obtaining a contract, which impacts the period in which we record our sales commissions expense. Prior to our adoption of the new revenue recognition standard, we

recognized sales commissions expense as incurred. Under the new revenue recognition standard, we are required to recognize these expenses over the period of benefit associated with these costs. This results in a deferral of sales commissions expense each period. Upon adoption, we reduced our accumulated deficit by $692 thousand and recognized an offsetting asset for deferred sales commissions related to contracts that were not completed contracts prior to October 1, 2018.

~~For further discussion regarding the impacts of adopting the new revenue recognition standard, see Note 6.~~

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, "Financial Instruments - Overall (Subtopic 825-10)", ("ASU 2016-01").

ASU 2019-04 identifies certain areas that need clarification and correction in each of these Topics. For Topic 815, for entities that have not yet adopted ASU 2017-12 as of the issuance date of this ASU, the effective dates and transition requirements for the amendments to Topic 815 are the same as the effective dates and transition requirements in ASU 2017-12. The amendments for Topic 815 in ASU 2017-09 provide guidance about which changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award require an entity to apply modification accounting in Topic 718. The amendments in ASU 2017-09 are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods, and was2019-04 were adopted by the Company as of October 1, ~~2018.~~2019.

Right-of-use assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term, and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments according to the arrangement.

A contract contains a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of the identified property, plant or equipment for a period of time in exchange for consideration. At commencement, contracts containing a lease are further evaluated for classification as an an operating or finance lease where the Company ~~occupied office space related to~~is a lessee, or as an operating, sales-type or direct financing lease ~~agreement entered into~~where the Company is a lessor, based on ~~June 28, 2011.~~their terms.

Lease right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are recognized as of the commencement date based on the present value of the lease payments over the lease term. The lease right-of-use asset is reduced for tenant incentives and excludes any initial direct costs incurred. We use the implicit rate when it is readily determinable. Otherwise, the present value of future minimum lease payments is determined using the Company's incremental borrowing rate. The incremental borrowing rate is based on the interest rate of the Company's most recent borrowing.

The lease term ~~was from November 2011 through December 2018~~we use for the valuation of our right-of-use assets and ~~in Q3 2018,~~lease liabilities may include options to extend or terminate the lease ~~was extended~~when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise those options.

At~~term and interest expense for finance leases is recognized based on the incremental interest rate.

Right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are recognized for our leases. Right-of-use assets under finance leases are included in property and equipment on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

We have operating lease arrangements with lease and non-lease components. The non-lease components in our arrangements are not significant when compared to the lease components. For all operating leases, we account for the lease and non-lease components as a single component.

~~Silicon Valley Bank~~

The Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, Sonic Foundry Media Systems, Inc. (the “Companies”) entered into the Second Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement with Silicon Valley Bank, dated June 27, 2011, as amended by the First, Second, Third, Fourth, Fifth, Sixth, Seventh, Eighth, Ninth, and Tenth Amendments, dated May 31, 2013, January 10, 2014, March 31, 2014, January 27, 2015, May 13, 2015, October 5, 2015,February 8, 2016, December 9, 2016, March 22, 2017, and May 10, 2017 (the Second Amended and Restated Loan Agreement, as amended by the First, Second, Third, Fourth, Fifth, Sixth, Seventh, Eighth, Ninth, and Tenth Amendments, collectively, the “Second Amended and Restated Loan Agreement”). The Second Amended and Restated Loan Agreement provides for a revolving line of credit in the maximum principal amount of $4,000,000. Interest accrued on the revolving line of credit at the variable per annum rate equal to the Prime Rate (as defined) plus two percent (2.00%). The Second Amended and Restated Loan Agreement provides for an advance rate on domestic receivables of 80%, and an advance rate on foreign receivables of 75% of the lesser of (x) Foreign Eligible Accounts (as defined) or (y) $1,000,000. The maturity date of the revolving credit facility was January 31, 2019. Under the Second Amended and Restated Loan Agreement, a term loan was entered into on January 27, 2015 in the original principal amount of $2,500,000 which accrued interest at the variable per annum rate equal to the Prime Rate (as defined) plus two and three-quarters percent, and was to be repaid in 36 equal monthly principal payments, beginning in February 2015. The Second Amended and Restated Loan Agreement also requires Sonic Foundry to comply with certain financial covenants, including (i) a liquidity financial covenant, which requires minimum Liquidity (as defined), tested with respect to the Company only, on a monthly basis, of at least 1.60:1.00 for each month-end that is not the last day of a fiscal quarter, and 1.75:1.00 for each month-end that is the last day of a fiscal quarter, and (ii) a covenant that requires the Company to achieve, commencing with the period ending September 30, 2017, and continuing each quarterly period thereafter, measured as of the last day of each fiscal quarter, on a trailing six (6) month basis ending as of the date of measurement, (a) EBITDA (negative EBITDA) plus (b) the net change in Deferred Revenue (as defined) during such measurement period, of at

~~least Zero Dollars ($0.00) Collections from accounts receivable are directly applied to the outstanding obligations under the revolving line of credit.~~

On December 22, 2017, the Company entered into an Eleventh Amendment to the Second Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement (the “Eleventh Amendment”) with Silicon Valley Bank. Under the Eleventh Amendment: the Minimum EBITDA covenant was modified to require Minimum EBITDA (as defined) plus the net change in Deferred Revenue, (i) for the period ending December 31, 2017, measured on a trailing three (3) month basis, to be no less than negative ($1,900,000); (ii) for the quarterly period ending March 31, 2018, measured on a trailing three (3) month basis, to be no less than Zero Dollars, and (iii) for the quarterly period ending June 30, 2018, and each quarterly period thereafter, in each case measured on a trailing six month basis, to be no less than Zero Dollars.

On May 11, 2018, the Company entered into a Twelfth Amendment to the Second Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement (the “Twelfth Amendment”) with Silicon Valley Bank, which waived the minimum EBITDA covenant as defined under the Eleventh Amendment. Under the Twelfth Amendment: the Minimum EBITDA covenant was modified to require Minimum EBITDA (as defined) plus the net change in Deferred Revenue, (i) for the quarterly period ending June 30, 2018, measured on a trailing six (6) month basis, to be no less than negative ($1,100,000); (ii) for the quarterly period ending September 30, 2018, measured on a trailing six (6) month basis, to be no less than $500,000, and (iii) for the quarterly period ending December 31, 2018, measured on a trailing six (6) month basis, to be no less than negative ($250,000), and (iv) for the quarterly period ending March 31, 2019, measured on a trailing three (3) month basis, to be no less than negative ($250,000).

The revolving line of credit matured on January 31, 2019. At September 30, 2018, there was no balance outstanding on the term loan with Silicon Valley Bank and a balance of $621 thousand was outstanding on the revolving line of credit.

Partners for Growth V, L.P.

On May 11, 2018, Sonic Foundry, Inc., entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (the “2018 Loan and Security Agreement”) with Partners for Growth V, L.P. (“PFG V”)~~, (the “Loan and Security Agreement”)~~.

The 2018 Loan and Security Agreement provides for a Term Loan ("Term Loan") in the amount of $2,500,000, which was disbursed in two (2) Tranches as follows: Tranche 1 was disbursed on May 14, 2018 in the amount of $2,000,000; and Tranche 2 in the amount of $500,000, was disbursed on November 8, 2018.

Each tranche of the Term Loan bears interest at 10.75% per annum. Tranche 1 of the Term Loan is payable interest only until November 30, 2018. Thereafter, principal is due in 30 equal monthly principal installments, plus accrued interest, beginning December 1, 2018 and continuing until May 1, 2021, when the principal balance is to be paid in full. Tranche 2 of the Term Loan is payable using the same repayment schedule as Tranche 1. Upon maturity, Sonic Foundry is required to pay PFG V a cash fee of ~~up to $150,000 (the "back-end fee"), which will be earned ratably over the three year term of the PFG V loan.~~$150,000.

The principal of the Term Loan may be prepaid at any time, provided that Sonic Foundry pays to PFG V a prepayment fee equal to 1% of the principal amount prepaid, if the prepayment occurs in the first year from disbursement of Tranche 1.

The Term Loan is collateralized by substantially all the Company’s assets, including intellectual property.

Coincident with execution of the 2018 Loan and Security Agreement, the Company entered into a Warrant Agreement (“Warrant”) with PFG V. Pursuant to the terms of the Warrant, the Company issued to PFG V a warrant to purchase up to 66,000 shares of common stock of the Company at an exercise price of $2.57 per share, subject to certain adjustments. Pursuant to the Warrant, PFG V is also entitled, under certain conditions, to require the Company to exchange the Warrant for the sum of $250,000. All warrants issued in connection with PFG V expire on May 11, 2023.

At March 31, 2020, and September 30, 2019, the estimated fair value of the derivative liability associated with the warrants issued in connection with the 2018 Loan and Security Agreement, was ~~$10 thousand. The change~~$72 thousand and $9 thousand, respectively. Included in other expense, the ~~fair value of~~remeasurement loss on the derivative liability ~~for~~during the three and six months ended March 31, ~~2019,~~2020 was ~~recorded as~~$61 thousand and $63 thousand, respectively, compared to a remeasurement loss of $8 thousand and a remeasurement gain of $15 thousand ~~respectively, which is included in~~during the ~~other income (expense).~~three and six months ended March 31, 2019.

The proceeds from the 2018 Loan and Security Agreement were allocated between the PFG V Debt and the Warrant Debt (inclusive of its conversion feature) based on their relative fair value on the date of issuance which resulted in carrying values of $2.3 million and ~~$153~~$156 thousand, respectively. The warrant debt of ~~$153~~$156 thousand is treated together as a debt discount on the PFG V

Debt and will be accreted to interest expense under the effective interest method over the three-year term of the PFG V Debt and the five-year term of the Warrant Debt. During the three and six months ended March 31, ~~2019,~~2020, the Company recorded accretion of discount expense associated with the warrants issued with the PFG V loan of $6 thousand and $11 thousand compared to $5 thousand and $9 thousand ~~respectively, as well as~~in the same periods last year. In addition, $14 thousand and $28 thousand amortization of the debt discount was recorded in the current three month and six month period compared to $13 thousand and $27 thousand ~~related to amortization of~~in the ~~debt discount.~~prior year. At March 31, ~~2019,~~2020, the ~~fair values~~carrying value of the PFG V Debt and the Warrant Debt (inclusive of its conversion feature) were ~~$2.1~~$1.2 million and ~~$138~~$160 thousand, respectively. In addition, the Company agreed to pay PFG V a cash fee of up to $150,000 payable upon maturity (the “back-end fee”), which will be earned ratably over the three year term of the PFG V loan. During the three and six months ended March 31, ~~2019,~~2020, the Company recorded interest expense of $13 thousand and $25 thousand, associated with recognition of the back-end ~~fee.~~fee compared to $13 thousand and $25 thousand during the three and six months ended March 31, 2019.

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

On March 11, 2019, Sonic Foundry, Inc. entered into a Consent, Waiver & Modification to the 2018 Loan and Security Agreement dated May 11, 2018 (the "Modification") with Partners for Growth V, L.P. ("PFG").

At March 31, 2020, the Company was in compliance with all covenants per the 2018 Loan and Security Agreement, as modified.

On February 28, 2019, ~~the Disinterested Directors unanimously authorized the Company to enter~~Sonic Foundry, Inc. entered into a Note Purchase Agreement (the "Note Purchase Agreement") with Mr. Burish. Following extended negotiations with an independent third party for similar financing ("Independent Third-Party Financing") that was not consummated, the Disinterested Directors engaged in extensive deliberations and negotiations with Burish for an alternative financing. The Disinterested Directors approved the alternative financing on terms and conditions as set forth in the Note Purchase Agreement, which it believes is fair and superior to the Independent Third-Party Financing, and is in the best interest of the Company and its stockholders.

The Note Purchase Agreement provides for subordinated secured promissory notes (the "Subordinated Promissory Notes") in an aggregate original principal amount of up to $5,000,000. Mr. Burish will acquire from the Company (a) on the initial closing date, the notes in an aggregate principal amount of $3,000,000 (the "Initial Notes") and (b) two additional tranches, each in the amount of $1,000,000 and payable at any time prior to the first anniversary of the Agreement (the "Additional Notes" and together with the Initial Notes, collectively, the "Purchase Price"). The Initial Notes were previously disbursed in January and February of 2019, as detailed above (the ~~"Promissory~~Promissory Note, the January 31st, 2019 Promissory Note, and the February 14, 2019 Promissory Note, collectively referred to as the "Initial Notes").

The fourth tranche ~~of $1,000,000~~ was disbursed on March 13, 2019 and the fifth and final tranche ~~of $1,000,000~~ was disbursed on April 4, 2019.

The Subordinated Promissory Notes accrue interest at the variable per annum rate equal to the Prime Rate (as defined) plus four percent (4.00%). The outstanding principal balance of the Subordinated Promissory Notes, plus all unpaid accrued interest, plus all outstanding and unpaid obligations, shall be due and payable on February 28, 2024 (the "Maturity Date"). Principal installments of $100,000 are payable on the last day of each month end beginning with the month ending August 31, 2020, and continuing through the Maturity Date.

The principal of the Subordinated Promissory Notes may be prepaid at any time in whole or in part, by payment of an amount equal to the unpaid principal balance to be pre-paid, plus all unpaid interest accrued thereon through the prepayment date, plus all outstanding and unpaid fees and expenses payable through the prepayment date.

At each anniversary of the Closing, an administration fee ("anniversary fee") will be payable to Mr. Burish equal to 0.5% of the purchase price less principal payments made.

The Subordinated Promissory Notes are collateralized by substantially all the Company's assets, including intellectual property, subject to the rights of Partners for Growth V, L.P., which shall be senior to ~~these~~the Subordinated Promissory Notes.

The Note Purchase Agreement requires compliance with the following financial covenants: (i) Minimum Coverage Ratio, which requires, as of the last day of each month on or after the closing date, the Minimum Coverage Ratio (as defined) to be equal to or greater than (x) 0.7:1.00 for the December through May calendar months, (y) 0.9:1.00 for the June through November calendar months; (ii) Minimum Qualifying Revenue (as defined), as of the last day of any calendar month, on or after December 1, 2018, on a trailing twelve-month basis, to be ~~greater~~no less than $13,000,000. At March 31, 2020, the Company was in compliance with all covenants per the Note Purchase Agreement.

The Note Purchase Agreement dated February 28, 2019 is subordinated to the existing PFG loan.

The Company used the proceeds from the notes issued under the Note Purchase Agreement to replace the revolving line of credit with Silicon Valley Bank, which matured on January 31, 2019.

The proceeds from the Note Purchase Agreement ~~contains events~~were allocated between the Subordinated Promissory Notes and the Warrant debt based on their relative fair value on the date of ~~default that include, among others, non-payment~~issuance. The warrant debt of ~~principal or~~$674 thousand is treated together as a debt

discount on the Subordinated Notes Payable and will be accreted to interest inaccuracy of any representation or warranty, violation of covenants, bankruptcy and insolvency events, material judgments, cross defaults to certain other indebtedness, and material adverse changes. The occurrence of an event of default could result inexpense under the ~~acceleration~~effective interest rate method over the five-year term of the ~~Companies’ obligations under~~Subordinated Notes Payable. During the ~~agreement. At~~three and six months ended March 31, 2020, the Company recorded accretion of discount expense associated with the Subordinated Promissory Notes of $33 thousand and $67 thousand compared to the three and six months ended March 31, 2019 of $13 thousand and $13 thousand.

During the three and six months ended March 31, 2020, the Company recorded an accrued anniversary fee associated with the Subordinated Promissory Notes of $6 thousand and $12 thousand. There was ~~in compliance with all financial covenants.~~no accrued anniversary fee for the prior periods.

The non-cash effective interest expense is calculated on the net balance of the Subordinated Promissory Notes, Warrant, and related loan origination fees, on a monthly basis. During the three and six months ended March 31, 2020, we recorded $13 thousand and $2 thousand of non-cash interest benefit related to the effective interest rate on the Subordinated Promissory Notes.

At March 31, ~~2019,~~2020, a gross principal balance of ~~$3.3~~$5.0 million was outstanding on the ~~notes, net of discount,~~Subordinated Promissory Notes, with an effective interest rate of ~~nine-and-one-quarter~~twelve-and-four-tenths percent ~~(9.25%~~(12.4%).

Accrued interest on the Subordinated Promissory Notes was paid through March 31, 2019, but has been deferred since that date. In April 2019 it was informally agreed between the Company and Mr. Burish that the interest would be deferred. On November 22, 2019, the Company entered into a Note Modification Agreement to formalize the deferment of the accrued interest. The Note Modification Agreement modifies the terms of the Subordinated Promissory Notes by deferring all interest payments due at the end of each calendar month beginning April 30, 2019 and continuing through and including July 31, 2020, in an amount which will be determined based on the variable interest rate on the Subordinated Promissory Notes. The deferred interest amount shall be added to the principal amount due on the Subordinated Notes and shall be paid on the maturity date. As a result of the Note Modification Agreement, $502 thousand and $259 thousand of accrued interest related to the Subordinated Notes Payable was re-classed from current to long-term on the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2020 and September 30, 2019, respectively.

The anniversary fee on the ~~notes were funded starting in January 2019.~~Subordinated Promissory Notes was due on February 28, 2020 ("first year anniversary fee") and has been deferred. On March 24, 2020, the Company entered into a First Amendment to Note Modification Agreement ("First Amendment") to formalize the deferment of the first year anniversary fee. The First Amendment modified the terms of the Subordinated Promissory Notes by deferring the first year anniversary fee due on February 28, 2020. The deferred first year anniversary fee was added to the principal amount due on the Subordinated Notes and is required to be paid on the maturity date. As a result of the First Amendment, $25 thousand was re-classed from current to long-term on the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2020.

The Term loan accrues interest at an annual rate of 1.475%. Beginning in January 2020, principal is due in 12 equal monthly installments, plus accrued interest, continuing through December 30, 2020, when the principal balance will be paid in full.

At March 31, 2020, $347 thousand was outstanding on the term loan with Mitsui Sumitomo Bank. The term loan accrues interest at an annual rate of approximately one-and-one-half percent (1.475%).

At March 31, 2020 and September 30, 2019, ano balance ~~of $451 thousand~~ was outstanding on the line of credit with Mitsui Sumitomo Bank. ~~At September 30, 2018, a balance of $264 thousand was outstanding on the line of credit.~~ The credit facility is related to Mediasite K.K., and accrues interest at an annual rate of approximately one-and-one half percent ~~(1.5%~~(1.575%).

5. Income Taxes

The Company’s practice is to recognize interest and/or penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense. The Company had no accruals for interest and penalties on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at March 31, ~~2019~~2020 or September 30, ~~2018,~~2019, and has not recognized any interest or penalties in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for either of the three or six months ended March 31, ~~2019~~2020 or ~~2018, respectively.~~2019.

The Company’s tax rate differs from the expected tax rate each reporting period as a result of permanent differences, the valuation allowance, and international tax items.

The U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (the “TCJA”) was signed into law on December 22, 2017. The TCJA included a number of changes to the U.S. corporate income tax including a reduction of the corporate income tax rate from 35% to 21% for tax years beginning after December 31, 2017.

During the three and six months ended March 31, 2018, we recorded an income tax benefit of $1.3 million resulting from the application of TCJA to existing deferred tax balances based on reasonable estimates for those tax effects.

6. Revenue

We adopted the new revenue recognition accounting standard ASC 606 effective October 1, 2018 on a modified retrospective basis and applied the new standard only to contracts that were not completed contracts prior to October 1, 2018. See Note 1 for a description of our ASC 606 revenue recognition accounting policy. Financial results for reporting periods during fiscal 2019 are presented in compliance with the new revenue recognition standard. Historical financial results for reporting periods prior to fiscal 2019 have not been retroactively restated and are presented in conformity with amounts previously disclosed under ASC 605. This note includes additional information regarding the impacts from the adoption of the new revenue recognition standard on our financial results for the three and six months ended March 31, 2019. This includes the presentation of financial results during fiscal 2019 under ASC 605 for comparison to the prior year. Our revenue recognition accounting policy for ASC 605 is included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2018, which was filed with the SEC on March 15, 2019.

Transaction price allocated to future performance obligations

ASC 606 allows for the use of certain practical expedients, which we have elected and applied to measure our future performance obligations as of March 31, ~~2019.~~2020.

As of March 31, ~~2019,~~2020, the aggregate amount of the transaction price that is allocated to our future performance obligations was approximately ~~$3.5~~$3.6 million in the next three months, ~~$8.3~~$9.5 million in the next twelve months, and the remaining ~~$2.3~~$2.1 million thereafter.

Disclosures related to our contracts with customers

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

Unearned revenues

Unearned revenues represent our obligation to transfer products or services to our client for which we have received consideration, or an amount of consideration is due, from the client. During the three and six months ended March 31, ~~2019,~~2020, revenues recognized related to the amount included in the unearned revenues balance at the beginning of the period was $2.4 million and $6.7 million compared to $2.6 million and $6.9 ~~million.~~

million recognized during the three and six months ended March 31, 2019.

Assets recognized from the costs to obtain our contracts with customers

We recognize an asset for the incremental costs of obtaining a contract with a customer. We amortize these deferred costs proportionate with related revenues over the period of the contract. During the three and six months ended March 31, ~~2019,~~2020, amortization expense recognized related to the amount included in the capitalized commissions at the beginning of the period was $127 thousand and $330 thousand compared to $147 thousand and $396 ~~thousand.~~thousand recognized during the three and six months ended March 31, 2019.

7. Subsequent Events

On March 11, 2020, COVID-19 was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization. The disruption caused by the outbreak is uncertain and continues to evolve rapidly, however, it may result in material adverse impact on the Company's financial position, operations and cash flows. While we are unable to accurately predict the full impact that COVID-19 will have due to numerous uncertainties, including the duration, severity and impact of the pandemic and containment measures, our compliance with these measures has impacted our day-to-day operations and could disrupt our business and operations, as well as those of our key business partners, vendors and other counterparties for an indefinite period of time.

On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act was signed into law. The CARES Act provides opportunities for additional liquidity, loan guarantees, and other government programs to support companies and their employees affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. Following the approval of the Board of Directors, the Company and First Business Bank entered into a $2,314,815 Promissory Note (the "Promissory Note") under the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) contained within the (CARES) Act. The PPP loan has a term of two years, is unsecured, and is guaranteed by the U.S. Small Business Administration. The loan carries a fixed interest rate of 1% per annum, with the first six months of interest deferred. Under the terms of the CARES Act, the Company will be eligible to apply for forgiveness of all loan proceeds used for payroll costs, rent, utilities, and other qualifying expenses during the eight-week period following receipt of the loan, provided the Company maintains its employment and compensation within certain parameters during such period, and provided further that not more than 25% of the amount forgiven can be attributable to non-payroll costs. Any amount not forgiven is due in equal installments of principal and interest beginning seven months from the date of the Promissory Note through the maturity date of two years from the date of first disbursement. The note was effective upon receipt of funds on April 21, 2020.

On April ~~25, 2019,~~27, 2020, the Company announced that its Special Committee of Independent and Disinterested Directors had accepted an offer from Mr. Mark Burish ~~exercised his warrant~~ to purchase ~~728,155~~all outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock not presently held by Mr. Burish at $5.00 per share. The transaction was expected to close in the third calendar quarter of 2020. As previously announced, the Company formed the Special Committee to consider strategic alternatives.

In May 2020, the Special Committee and the Disinterested Directors and Mr. Burish agreed to not pursue the transaction at ~~an exercise price of $1.18 per share, which~~this time. Both Mr. Burish and the Special Committee were concerned that the proposal would not obtain the required shareholder approval, and therefore concluded that converting the debt to equity at the same value proposed by Mr. Burish for the acquisition was the most appropriate way to maximize both Company and Shareholder value, improve the Company's financial position, and provide the Company with resources to further its growth opportunities. In accordance therewith, on May 13, 2020, the Company entered into ~~coincident~~a Debt Conversion Agreement with ~~the execution~~Mr. Burish to convert Mr. Burish's existing secured debt of the Note Purchase Agreement on February 28, 2019. The special committee of disinterested directors approved the issuance of the warrant coincident with the execution of a note purchase agreement with Burish.approximately $5.6 million into common stock at $5.00 per share.

Recent Developments

On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of a novel coronavirus (COVID-19) as a pandemic, which has resulted in authorities implementing numerous measures to contain the virus, including travel bans and restrictions, quarantines, shelter-in-place orders, and business limitations and shutdowns. While we are unable to accurately predict the full impact that COVID-19 will have on our results from operations, financial condition, liquidity and cash flows due to numerous uncertainties, including the duration, severity and impact of the pandemic and containment measures, our compliance with these measures has impacted our day-to-day operations and could disrupt our business and operations, as well as those of our key business partners, vendors and other counterparties for an indefinite period of time. To support the health and well-being of our employees, business partners and communities, a vast majority of our employees have been working remotely since mid-March 2020 and continue to do so. We are currently researching and preparing for a limited return to the office at the end of May 2020.

COVID-19 has had negative near-term impacts on our operations and the future impacts of the pandemic and any corresponding economic results are largely unknown and rapidly evolving. Beginning in March, the events portion of our business was and continues to be significantly impacted by cancellations and/or postponements due to social distancing protocols enacted to stem the spread of the virus. In addition, the closure of educational institutions globally and the negative financial impact on their funding, could impact our sales in the upcoming quarters. While the virus has increased awareness of the need for distance learning tools and the adoption of video as a necessary communication medium, it is impossible for us to predict with confidence the long-term financial impact on our business including results of operations and liquidity.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

ASC 842

~~ASC 606~~

On October 1, ~~2018,~~2019, we adopted ASC Topic ~~606,~~842, ~~Revenue from Contracts with Customers~~Leases ("ASC ~~606"~~842"), using the modified retrospective method. Under this method, we recognized the cumulative effect of applying the new ~~revenue recognition~~ standard to existing ~~revenue contracts~~leases that were active as of the adoption date as an adjustment to the opening balance ~~of accumulated deficit.~~sheet. The reported results for the three and six months ended March 31, ~~2019~~2020 reflect the adoption of ASC ~~606,~~842, while the comparative information has not been restated and continues to be reported under the related accounting standards in effect for those periods. Refer to Note 63 - Commitments to the ~~Notes~~notes to the ~~Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)~~condensed consolidated financial statements (unaudited) for additional information related to the effect of the adoption of ASC ~~606~~842 as of and for the three and six months ended March 31, ~~2019.~~2020.

Revenue

Revenue from our business includes the sale of Mediasite recorders and server software products and related services contracts, such as customer support, installation, customization services, training, content hosting and event services. We market our products to educational institutions, corporations and government agencies that need to deploy, manage, index and distribute video content on Internet-based networks. We reach both our domestic and international markets through reseller networks, a direct sales effort and partnerships with system integrators.

~~Q2-2019~~Q2-2020 compared to ~~Q2-2018~~Q2-2019

Revenue in ~~Q2-2019~~Q2-2020 ~~decreased $463~~increased $669 thousand, or 5%8% to ~~$8.0~~$8.7 million, from ~~Q2-2018~~Q2-2019 revenue of ~~$8.5~~$8.0 million. Revenue consisted of the following:

Product and other revenue from sale of Mediasite recorder units and server software was ~~$1.8~~$2.8 million in ~~Q2-2019~~Q2-2020 and ~~$2.7~~$1.8 million in ~~Q2-2018~~Q2-2019. Average selling price was uplower in ~~Q2-2019~~Q2-2020 as compared to ~~Q2-2018~~Q2-2019 primarily as a result of a higher ~~proportion~~sales volume of ~~higher-end recorders being sold compared to the same period last year. Recorders sold were substantially less than Q1-2018, partially as~~low-cost recorders. Production and other revenue in Q2-2020 included a ~~result of the Company's~~large refresh recorder transaction while Q2-2019 was negatively impacted by our planned ~~reduction of distribution inventory which had an impact of $557 thousand.~~reduced reliance on distribution.

Services revenue represents the portion of fees charged for Mediasite customer support contracts amortized over the length of the contract, typically 12 months, as well as training, installation, ~~event~~events and content hosting services. Services revenue ~~increased $431~~decreased $347 thousand or 7%6% from ~~$5.8 million in~~ ~~Q2-2018~~ to $6.2 million in Q2-2019 to $5.9 million in Q2-2020primarily due to ~~an increase~~cancellations in ~~support contract and hosting revenue.~~event services due to COVID-19.

At March 31, ~~2019, $10.6~~2020, $11.5 million of revenue was deferred, of which we expect to recognize ~~$8.3~~$9.5 million in the next twelve months, including approximately ~~$3.5~~$3.6 million in the quarter ending June 30, ~~2019.~~2020. At September 30, ~~2018, $13.3~~2019, $11.5 million of revenue was deferred. ~~The decrease in deferred revenue is largely a result of the ASC 606 adjustment upon adoption.

Foreign Currency Translation Adjustment

The Company's wholly-owned subsidiaries operate in Japan and the Netherlands, and utilize the Japanese Yen and Euro, respectively, as their functional currency. Assets and liabilities of the Company's foreign operations are translated in US dollars at period end exchange rates while revenues and expenses are translated using average rates for the period. Gains and losses from the translation are deferred and included in accumulated other comprehensive loss the consolidated statements of operations.

For the three and six months ended March 31, 2020, the Company's foreign currency translation adjustment was a gain of $5 thousand and a loss of $3 thousand compared to ~~the fair value remeasurement~~to a loss of $17 thousand and a gain of $45 thousand for the three and six months ended March 31, ~~2018.~~2019.

~~Benefit for Income Taxes~~

~~The U.S. Tax Cuts~~During the three and Jobs Act of 2017 (the “TCJA”) was signed into law on December 22, 2017.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company’s primary sources of liquidity are its cash from ~~operating activities~~operations and debt and equity financing. During the first six months of fiscal ~~2019,~~2020, the Company ~~used $3.3 million~~generated $680 thousand of cash infrom operating activities compared with ~~$548 thousand~~$3.3 million used in the same period of fiscal ~~2018.~~2019.

Capital expenditures were ~~$222~~$118 thousand in the first six months of fiscal ~~2019~~2020 compared to ~~$238~~$222 thousand in the same period in fiscal ~~2018.~~2019.

The Company ~~generated $3.5 million~~used $278 thousand of cash from financing activities during the first six months of fiscal 2020, primarily due to net proceeds from the disbursement of the Mediasite term note of $463 thousand offset by payments of $618 thousand on existing debt. For the same period in fiscal 2019, the Company generated $3.5 million of cash from financing activities, mainly due to notes payable proceeds, primarily due to net proceeds from the disbursement of Tranches 1-4 of the Burish Note Purchase Agreement. ~~For the same period in fiscal 2018,~~

At March 31, 2020, the Company ~~generated $727 thousand~~had $6.7 million outstanding, net of ~~cash from financing activities, mainly due~~warrant debt and debt discounts, related to notes payable ~~proceeds, partially offset by~~with PFG V, the subordinated notes issued under the Burish Note Purchase Agreement and the Mediasite KK term debt. The Company made principal payments of $250 thousand and $500 thousand for the three and six months ended March 31, 2020 on the ~~line~~PFG V debt, and $113 thousand on the Mediasite KK term debt in the current quarter.

At March 31, 2020, approximately $1.5 million of ~~credit.~~cash and cash equivalents was held by the Company’s foreign subsidiaries.

On May 13, 2020, the Company and Mr. Burish entered into a Debt Conversion Agreement to convert Mr. Burish's existing secured debt of approximately $5.6 million into common stock at $5.00 per share. Both the Special Committee and Mr. Burish concluded that converting the debt to equity was the most appropriate way to maximize both Company and Shareholder value, improve the Company's financial position, and provide the Company with resources to further its growth opportunities.

The Company believes its cash position plus available resources is adequate to accomplish its business plan through at least the next twelve months. We will likely evaluate ~~operating and capital leases~~lease opportunities to finance equipment purchases in the future and anticipate ~~utilizing~~continuing to utilize proceeds from the ~~recently issued promissory~~ notes and term debt to support working capital needs. We may also seek additional equity financing ~~or issue additional shares previously registered in our available shelf registration and~~but there are no assurances that these will be on terms acceptable to the Company.

At March 31, 2019, a balance of $451 thousand was outstanding on the line of credit with Mitsui Sumitomo Bank. At September 30, 2018, a balance of $264 thousand was outstanding on the line of credit. The notes and credit facility are both related to Mediasite K.K., and both accrue interest at an annual rate of approximately one-and-one half percent (1.5%).

At March 31, 2019, the Company had $5.4 million outstanding, net of warrant debt and debt discounts, related to notes payable with PFG V and the Burish Note Purchase Agreement. The Company drew on Tranches 1-4 of the Burish Note Purchase Agreement during the three months ended March 31, 2019, resulting in a net increase of $4.2 million on notes during the six months ended March 31, 2019 compared to net payments of $319 thousand on notes in the same period of fiscal 2018.

~~At March 31, 2019, approximately $867 thousand of cash and cash equivalents was held by the Company’s foreign subsidiaries.~~

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

There have been no material changes from those reported in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year-ended September 30, ~~2018.~~2019. At March 31, ~~2019, $3.3~~2020, $4.9 million of the Company’s ~~$5.9~~$6.7 million in outstanding debt is variable rate. We do not expect that an increase in the level of interest rates would have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements. We monitor our positions with, and the credit quality of, the financial institutions that are party to any of our financial transactions.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Based on evaluations at March 31, ~~2019,~~2020, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, with the participation of our management team, have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15 (e) and 15d-15 (e) under the Securities Exchange Act) ~~and determined that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.~~. Disclosure controls and procedures ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC, and that material information relating to the Company is accumulated and communicated to management, including our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

~~During the most recent fiscal year end,~~ Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our ~~internal~~disclosure controls ~~over financial reporting~~and procedures were ~~not~~ effective as of September 30, 2018 due to an identified material weakness in internal control. The material weakness relates to controls over identifying and performing an impairment analysis and the preparation of consolidated financial information specific to the subsequent measurement of goodwill and long-lived and intangible assets as well as the related impacts on the tax provision.

~~Remediation~~

We have made changes to our methods and processes used in evaluating the Company's goodwill and other long-lived and intangible assets for potential impairment. The primary change relates to timely preparation of the analysis required by ASC topic 360 to analyze the Company's long-lived assets for impairment. Further, the Company has added personnel with skills and experience in this area that will assist with the computation in future periods and will allow the Company to more timely identify issues and resolve them prior to the calculation date. The Company's goodwill and the majority of the company’s long-lived assets were fully impaired in fiscal 2018 and therefore, no longer require analysis. The only long-lived assets remaining are property, plant and equipment items which are less subjective and complex than goodwill and intangibles. Therefore, the ASC 350 test will no longer be performed and only the ASC 360 test will apply to the company in regard to the property, plant and equipment long-lived assets. As such, the weakness is considered fully remediated as of October 1, 2018.March 31, 2020.

Changes in Internal Controls

On October 1, ~~2018,~~2019, we adopted ASC ~~606.~~842. As a result, changes were made to the relevant business processes and related control activities in order to monitor and maintain appropriate controls over financial reporting.

During the period covered by the quarterly report on Form 10-Q, the Company has not made any other changes to its internal control over financial reporting (as referred to in Paragraph 4(b) of the Certifications of the Company's principal executive officer and principal financial officer included as exhibits to the report) that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to affect the Company's internal control over financial reporting.
