Nature of Business

 

GlobalSCAPE, Inc., together with its wholly-owned subsidiary (collectively referred to as the “Company”, “GlobalSCAPE”, “we”, “us” or “our”), provides secure information exchange capabilities for enterprises and consumers through the development and distribution of software, delivery of managed and hosted solutions, and provisioning of associated services. Our solution portfolio facilitates transmission of critical information such as financial data, medical records, customerclient files, vendor files, personnel files, transaction activity, and other similar documents between diverse and geographically separated network infrastructures while supporting a range of information protection approaches to meet privacy and other security requirements. In addition to enabling secure, flexible transmission of critical information using servers, desktop and notebook computers, and a wide range of network-enabled mobile devices, our products also provide customersclients with the ability to monitor and audit file transfer activities. Our primary product is Enhanced File Transfer, or EFT. We have other products that complement our EFT product.

 

We sell other products that are synergistic to EFT including Mail Express, WAFS, and CuteFTP. Collectively, these products aimed at consumers and small businesses constitute less than 3%2% of our total revenue. We plancontinue to phase outoffer product support for Mail Express and WAFS, inwhich we discontinued as products for sale as of January 1, 2019.

 

Throughout these notes unless otherwise noted, our references to the 20192020 quarter and the 20182019 quarter refer to the three months ended March 31, 20192020 and 2018,2019, respectively.

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X, “Interim Financial Statements”, as prescribed by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC. Accordingly, they do not include all information and footnotes required under United States generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all accounting entries necessary for a fair presentation of our financial position and results of operations have been made. The results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. The information included in this Report should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018,2019, filed with the SEC on March 18, 2019,16, 2020, which we refer to as the 20182019 Form 10-K, as well as Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations also included in our 20182019 Form 10-K and in this Report.

 

We follow accounting standards set by the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB. The FASB sets GAAP, which we follow in preparing financial statements that report our financial position, results of operations, and sources and uses of cash. We also follow the reporting regulations of the SEC.

 

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires the use of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities known to exist as of the date the financial statements are published, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Uncertainties with respect to such estimates and assumptions are inherent in the preparation of our financial statements. It is possible the actual results could differ from these estimates and assumptions and could have a material effect on the reported amounts of our financial position and results of operations.

Significant Accounting Policies

 

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in conformity with GAAP. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

 

Reclassification of ExpensesRevenue Recognition

 

We have revised the classification of certain of our operating expenses. To ensure comparability between periods, we revised the previous period financial statements presented to conform to the method of presentation in the current period financial statements. These reclassifications had no impact on the net income (loss) for the periods presented or total stockholders’ equity at March 31, 2019.

Revenue Recognition

Products and Services

 

We earn revenue by delivering the following software products and services:

 

 

Perpetual software licenses under which customersclients install our products in their information systems environment on computers they manage, own or otherwise procure from a cloud services provider. CustomersClients also deploy our products with cloud services providers in a BYOL environment.

 

Cloud-based, hosted SaaS solutions that we sell on an ongoing subscription basis resulting in our earning recurring, monthly subscription and usage fees to access the service.

 

Maintenance and support services, or M&S, that generally consist of telephone support and access to unspecified future software upgrades.

 

Professional services for product integration and configuration that generally do not significantly modify our software products.

 

We earn the majority of our revenue from the sale of perpetual software licenses and associated contracts for M&S.

 

We recognize revenue when we have satisfied a performance obligation by transferring control over a product or delivering a service to a customer.client. We measure revenue based upon the consideration set forth in an arrangement or contract with a customer.client. The revenue recognition criteria we apply to each of our software products and services are as follows:

 

 

Perpetual software licenses – These licenses grant a right to use our functional intellectual property. We recognize revenue at the point in time when we electronically deliver to our customerclient the software license key that provides the ability to access and use our product. If our customerclient is a reseller who will further transfer the ability to access and use our product to a third party under a separate arrangement that the reseller has with that third party, we recognize revenue at the time we deliver the software license key to the reseller since our contract is with the reseller.

 

Cloud-based, hosted SaaS solutions – These solutions grant a right to access our functional intellectual property. We recognize revenue over time on a monthly basis as we deliver the services to which our customersclients subscribe. Revenue can include basic monthly fees to access the software and usage fees based upon the volume of certain resources the customerclient consumes (such as volumes of storage or bandwidth). We are generally paid for these services on a month-to-month basis, but if a customerclient pays us in advance for services we will deliver in the future, we record as deferred revenue the amount of such payment related to services we have not yet delivered.

 

M&S – We provide these services to purchasers of perpetual software licenses under agreements with terms generally ranging from one to three years. We require up-front payment of our M&S fee in an amount that covers the entire term of the agreement.  We record as deferred revenue amounts paid that relate to future periods during which we will provide the M&S service. We reduce deferred revenue and recognize revenue ratably in future periods as we deliver the M&S service.

 

7

Index

 

Professional services – We recognize revenue from these services when the services are completed. If we are paid in advance for these services, we record such payment as deferred revenue until we complete the services.

 

The delivery of our software products and services generally does not involve any variable consideration, financing components or consideration payable to a customerclient such as rebates or other incentives that reduce amounts owed to us by customers.clients.

 

Deferred Revenue Classification and Activity

 

Deferred revenue related to services we will deliver within one year is presented as a current liability. Deferred revenue related to services that we will deliver more than one year into the future is presented as a non-current liability.

Multi-Element Transactions

 

At the time customersclients purchase perpetual software licenses, they also typically purchase M&S although it is not mandatory. We do not sell separate M&S to subscribers to our SaaS solutions as M&S is provided as part of their SaaS subscription. CustomersClients may also purchase professional services at the time they purchase perpetual software licenses or a SaaS subscription. Each of the components of these multi-element transactions is a separately identifiable performance obligation.

 

For multi-element transactions, we allocate the transaction price to each performance obligation on a relative stand-alone selling price basis. We determine that stand-alone selling price for each item at the inception of the transaction involving these multiple elements.

 

We sell, as stand-alone transactions, renewals of pre-existing M&S contracts, professional services to customersclients seeking assistance with products they have previously purchased from us, or SaaS subscriptions to customersclients not requiring any of our other products or services. Accordingly, we are able to estimate the stand-alone selling price of these items based upon our observation of those transactions. Since most of our sales of perpetual software licenses are part of multi-element transactions that also involve M&S and/or professional services, and because the selling price of those licenses can vary significantly among customers,clients, we use the residual approach under FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic 606, or ASC 606, to estimate the selling price of perpetual software licenses in a multi-element transaction by reference to the total transaction price less the sum of the observable stand-alone selling prices of M&S and/or professional services.

 

We allocate discounts proportionally to all of the components of a multi-element transaction.

Sales Tax

 

We collect sales tax on many of our transactions with customersclients as required under applicable law. We do not include sales tax collected in our revenue. We record it as a liability payable to taxing authorities.

 

Allowance for Sales Returns

 

We provide an allowance for sales returns. We estimate this allowance based upon our historical experience and the nature of recent transactions with customers.clients. This amount is included in accrued liabilities in our condensed consolidated balance sheet.sheets.

8

Index

 

Contract Assets

 

We generally bill customersclients for professional services when we have fully delivered the services specified in the contract. We may incur costs in delivering the services prior to that time. Such costs are generally not material. Accordingly, we do not record a contract asset for professional service engagements in process but not yet billed.

 

Incremental Costs of Obtaining a Contract to Deliver Goods and Services

 

We incur incremental costs in the form of sales commissions paid to our sales personnel and royalties on certain products paid to third parties. These are costs we would not incur if we did not obtain a contract to deliver our goods and services. We account for these costs as follows:

 

 

If the costs are associated with products and services for which we recognize revenue at a fixed point in time (primarily sales of perpetual software licenses and professional services), we expense these costs in full at the time we recognize that revenue.

 

If the costs are associated with services for which we recognize revenue over time (primarily sales of M&S and SaaS subscriptions) for which we believe it is likely that the contract for those services will be renewed for additional terms in the future, provided we deem these costs to be recoverable, we record these costs as a deferred expense asset and amortize that cost to expense as follows:

 

9

 

o

For the portion of the cost that we determine benefits us primarily only over the term of the specific underlying contract currently in force (such as the term of an M&S contract), we recognize expense ratably each month over that term.

 

o

For the portion of the cost that we determine benefits us over an overall customerclient relationship that is likely to span a period of time that is longer than an initial contract term (for example, an M&S contract renewed for multiple terms in the future), we recognize expense ratably monthly over the estimated life of the customerclient relationship.

At December 31, 20182019, we had $571,000$577,000 recorded in prepaid and other current assets and $438,000$366,000 recorded in noncurrent other assets in our condensed consolidated balance sheet.

 

Leases

 

We determine if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating leases are included in operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets, other current liabilities, and operating lease liabilities on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. Operating lease ROU assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term at commencement date. As most of our leases do not provide an implicit rate, we use our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of future payments. The operating lease ROU asset also includes any lease payments made and excludes lease incentives and initial direct costs incurred. Lease expense for minimum lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. We have lease agreements with lease and non-lease components, which are generally accounted for separately. On April 18, 2019, the Company signed a new operating lease for our existing office space location. The lease is for a period of 10 years at an average annual rent of $462,000 beginning May 1, 2019. We recorded a right-of-use asset and lease liability of approximately $3 million at the commencement of the lease.

 

We have computed the impact of the new lease standard and due to the immateriality of the impact on our existing leases as of and for the period ending March 31, 2019, we have not recorded ROU assets or lease liabilities at March 31, 2019.

Index

Cash and cash equivalents

 

Cash and cash equivalents includes all cash and highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

For financial assets and liabilities recorded at fair value on a recurring or non-recurring basis, fair value is the price we would receive to sell an asset, or pay to transfer a liability, in an orderly transaction with a market participant at the measurement date. In the absence of such data, fair value is estimated using internal information consistent with what market participants would use in a hypothetical transaction. In determining fair value, observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect our market assumptions; preference is given to observable inputs. These two types of inputs create the following fair value hierarchy:

 

Level 1: Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.

Level 2: Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model derived valuations whose inputs are observable or whose significant value drivers are observable.

Level 3: Significant inputs to the valuation model are unobservable.

 

10

As of March 31, 2019,2020, we did not have any assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis that would require disclosure based on the fair value hierarchy of valuation techniques. In addition, certain non-financial assets and liabilities are to be initially measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. This includes items such as non-financial assets and liabilities initially measured at fair value in a business combination (but not measured at fair value in subsequent periods) and non-financial, long-lived assets measured at fair value for an impairment assessment. In general, non-financial assets and liabilities including goodwill, capitalized software and property and equipment are measured at fair value using Level 3 inputs, which result in management’s best estimate of fair value from the perspective of a market participant, when there is an indication of impairment and are recorded at fair value only when impairment is recognized.

 

Our financial instruments consist principally of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accountsnotes payable. The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and accounts payable, approximates fair value due to the short term maturity of these instruments, all of which mature within 12 months.

 

The carrying amount of our notes payable, including the current portion, as of March 31, 2020 was $48,125,000. This carrying value approximates fair value based on interest rates that are currently available to us for issuance of debt with similar terms and maturities.

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment is comprised of furniture and fixtures, software, computer equipment and leasehold improvements which are recorded at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives. Furniture, fixtures and equipment have a useful life of five to seven years, computer equipment and software have a useful life of three years and leasehold improvements have a useful life that is the shorter of the term of the lease under which the improvements were made or the estimated useful life of the asset.

 

Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred.

 

Goodwill

 

We account for goodwill in accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Codification 350, or ASC 350, as amended by ASU 2017-04, Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment (effective January 1, 2020, as described in recent accounting pronouncements below). Goodwill is not amortized. At least annually,Annually, we test goodwill for impairment at the reporting unit level using December 31 as the measurement date.date, and will also evaluate throughout the year if any indicators of a potential impairment are identified. We operate as a single reporting unit.unit with $12,712,000 of goodwill. As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, this single reporting unit had a negative carrying value.

 

When testing goodwill, we first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not (that is, a likelihood of more than 50 percent) that the fair value of our reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, including goodwill. In performing this qualitative assessment, we assess events and circumstances relevant to us including, but not limited to:

 

Macroeconomic conditions.

Industry and market considerations.

Cost factors and trends for labor and other expenses of operating our business.

Our overall financial performance and outlook for the future.

Trends in the quoted market value and trading of our common stock.

10

Index

 

In considering these and other factors, we consider the extent to which any adverse events and circumstances identified could affect the comparison of our reporting unit’s fair value with its carrying amount. We place more weight on events and circumstances that most affect our reporting unit’s fair value or the carrying amount of our net assets. We consider positive and mitigating events and circumstances that may affect our determination of whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of our reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. We evaluate, on the basis of the weight of the evidence, the significance of all identified events and circumstances in the context of determining whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of our reporting unit is less than its carrying amount.

 

11

If, after assessing the totality of these qualitative events and circumstances, we determine it is not more likely than not that the fair value of our reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, we conclude there is no impairment of goodwill and perform no further testing, in accordance with GAAP. If we conclude otherwise, we proceed with performing the first step, and if necessary, the second step, of the two-stepto perform a quantitative goodwill impairment test prescribed by GAAP.to identify both the existence of impairment and the amount of impairment loss. In a quantitative test, the fair value of a reporting unit is compared to its carrying amount, including goodwill. If the fair value of a reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, goodwill of the reporting unit is considered unimpaired. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss shall be recognized in an amount equal to that excess, limited to the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit.

 

As of December 31, 2018,2019, after assessing the totality of the relevant events and circumstances, we determined it not more likely than not that the fair value of our reporting unit was less than its carrying amount. Accordingly, we concluded there was no impairment of goodwill as of that date. There have been no material events (including the recent coronavirus COVID-19 outbreak), or changes in circumstances since that time indicating that the carrying amount of goodwillour reporting unit may exceed its fair market value and that interim testing needed to be performed. Additionally, because our single reporting unit has a negative carrying value, reasonable changes in the assumptions used would not indicate impairment.

 

Capitalized Software Development Costs

 

When we complete research and development for a software product, have in place a program plan and a detailed program design or a working model of that software product, we capitalize production costs incurred for that software product from that point forward until it is ready for general release to the public. Thereafter, we amortize capitalized software production costs to expense using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of that product, which is generally three years. We periodically assess the carrying value of capitalized software development costs and our method of amortizing them relative to our estimates of realizability through sales of products in the marketplace.

 

Cost of revenue

 

Cost of revenue consists of expenses associated with the production, delivery and support of the products and services we sell. Cost of license revenue consists primarily of amortization of the capitalized software development costs we incur when producing our software products, royalties we pay to use software developed by others for certain features of our products, and fees we pay to third parties who provide services supporting our SaaS solutions. Cost of M&S revenue and cost of professional services revenue consist primarily of salaries and related costs of our employees and third parties we use to deliver these services.

 

Research and Development

 

We expense research and development costs as incurred.

 

Advertising Expense

 

We expense advertising costs as incurred as a component of our sales and marketing expenses. Advertising expense was approximately $51,000$59,000 and $324,000$51,000 in the 20192020 quarter and the 20182019 quarter, respectively.

 

StockShare-Based-Based Compensation

 

We measure the cost of share-basedstock-based payment transactions at the grant date based on the calculated fair value of the award. We recognize this cost as an expense ratably over the recipient’s requisite service period during which that award vests or becomes unrestricted.

 

For stock option awards, we estimate their fair value at the grant date using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model considering the following factors:

 

We estimate expected volatility based on historical volatility of our common stock.

We primarily use the simplified method to derive an expected term which represents an estimate of the time options are expected to remain outstanding. We use this method because our options are plain-vanilla options, and we believe our historical option exercise experience is not adequately indicative of our future expectations.

11

Index

We base the risk-free rate for periods within the contractual life of the option on the U.S. treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant.

We estimate a dividend yield based on our historical and expected future dividend payments.

 

For restricted stock awards, we use the quoted price of our common stock on the grant date as the fair value of the award.

12

Income Taxes

 

We account for income taxes using the asset and liability method. We record deferred tax assets and liabilities based on the difference between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amount for financial reporting purposes, as measured by the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are carried on the balance sheet with the presumption that they will be realizable in future periods in which we generate taxable income.

 

We assess the likelihood that deferred tax assets will be realized from future taxable income. Based on this assessment, we provide any necessary valuation allowance on our balance sheet with a corresponding increase in the tax provision on our statement of operations. Any valuation allowances we establish are determined based upon a number of assumptions, judgments, and estimates, including forecasted earnings, future taxable income, and the relative proportions of revenue and income before taxes in the various domestic jurisdictions in which we operate.

 

We account for uncertainty in income taxes using a two-step process to determine the amount of tax benefit to be recognized. First, we evaluate the tax position to determine the likelihood that it will be sustained upon external examination. If the tax position is deemed “more-likely-than-not” to be sustained, we assess the tax position to determine the amount of benefit to recognize in the condensed consolidated financial statements. The amount of the benefit we recognize is the largest amount that we believe has a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Unrecognized tax benefits represent tax positions for which reserves have been established.

Earnings Per Share

 

We compute basic earnings per share using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the periods. We compute diluted earnings per share using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding plus the number of common shares that would be issued assuming conversion of all potentially dilutive common shares outstanding.

 

Awards of non-vested restricted stock and options are considered potentially dilutive common shares for the purpose of computing earnings per common share. We apply the treasury stock method to non-vested options under which the assumed proceeds include the amount the employee must pay to exercise the option plus the amount of unrecognized cost attributable to future periods less any expected tax benefits.

 

Recent accounting pronouncements

Accounting Standards Update (“

ASU”) 2017-04, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (issued January 2017) - To simplify the subsequent measurement of goodwill, Step 2 was eliminated from the goodwill impairment test. In computing the implied fair value of goodwill under Step 2, an entity had to perform procedures to determine the fair value at the impairment testing date of its assets and liabilities (including unrecognized assets and liabilities) following the procedure that would be required in determining the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination. Instead, under the amendments in this update, an entity should perform its annual, or interim, goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An entity should recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value. Any loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. Additionally, an entity should consider income tax effects from any tax deductible goodwill on the carrying amount of the reporting unit when measuring the goodwill impairment loss, if applicable. This update also eliminated the requirements for any reporting unit with a zero or negative carrying amount to perform a qualitative assessment and, if it fails that qualitative test, to perform Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test. Therefore, the same impairment assessment applies to all reporting units. An entity is required to disclose the amount of goodwill allocated to each reporting unit with a zero or negative carrying amount of net assets. An entity still has the option to perform the qualitative assessment for a reporting unit to determine if the quantitative impairment test is necessary. A public business entity that is an SEC filer is required to adopt the amendments in this update forWe adopted ASU 2017-04 effective January 1, 2020, and its annual or any interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. We expect that the application of the provisions of this update willadoption did not have a material effectimpact on our internal condensed consolidated financial statements.

Index

 

ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (issued June 2016) - Among the provisions of this ASU is a requirement that assets measured at amortized cost, which includes trade accounts receivable, be presented at the net amount expected to be collected. This pronouncement requires that an entity reflect all of its expected credit losses based on current estimates which will replace the current standard requiring that an entity need consider only past events and current conditions in measuring an incurred loss. We are subject to this guidance effective with the condensed consolidated financial statements we issue for the year ending December 31, 2020,2023, and the quarterly periods during that year. We do not expect the amounts we report as accounts receivable in those future periods under this guidance to be materially affected relative to current guidance.

ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842): In February 2016, the FASB issued a new standard related to leases to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by requiring the recognition of ROU assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet. Most prominent among the changes in the standard is the recognition of ROU assets and lease liabilities by lessees for those leases classified as operating leases. Under the standard, disclosures are required to meet the objective of enabling users of financial statements to assess the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. We are also required to recognize and measure leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented using a modified retrospective approach, with certain practical expedients available. We adopted ASC 842 using the modified retrospective approach effective January 1, 2019. As leases in-place at the time of adoption were not material, no right-of-use assets or lease liabilities were recorded upon adoption. We elected the available practical expedients and implemented internal controls and key system functionality to enable the preparation of financial information on adoption. The standard had an immaterial impact on our condensed consolidated balance sheets, but did not have an impact on our condensed consolidated income statements. DueOn April 18, 2019, the immaterial impact we have decided to not adjust our balances at March 31, 2019Company signed a new operating lease for the remainder of our existing office space location. The lease which expires on April 30,is for a period of 10 years at an average annual rent of $462,000 beginning May 1, 2019.

ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (issued May 2014) - The core principle of this guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. We have implemented these new principles using the modified retrospective transition methodrecorded a right-of-use asset and recorded an increase (tax effected) to retained earnings at January 1, 2018 of $979,000. We also recorded as an asset deferred expenselease liability of approximately $1.2 million. We are accounting for these costs we incur to obtain a contract as follows:$3 million at the commencement of the lease.

If these costs are associated with products and services for which we recognize revenue at a point in time (primarily sales of perpetual software licenses and professional services), we expense these costs in full at the time we recognize that revenue.

If these costs are associated with services for which we recognize revenue over time (primarily sales of M&S and SaaS subscriptions) for which we believe it is likely that the contract for those services will be renewed for additional terms in the future, provided we deem these costs to be recoverable, we record these costs as deferred expense asset and amortize that cost to expense as follows:

o

For the portion of the cost that we determine benefits us primarily only over the term of the specific underlying contract currently in force (such as the term of an M&S contract), we will recognize expense ratably each month over that term.

o

For the portion of the cost that we determine benefits us over an overall customer relationship that is likely to span a period of time that is longer than an initial contract term (for example, an M&S contract renewed for multiple terms in the future), we will recognize expense ratably monthly over the estimated life of the customer relationship.

Accounts Receivable, Net

 

We bill customersclients and issue invoices when we have delivered goods or services. In addition, when customersclients agree to purchase or renew M&S services, we bill and invoice customersclients at that time which could be before the date we begin delivering those services. In that event, we exclude from accounts receivable (and from the related deferred revenue, see Note 3)6) the invoices we have issued for which the M&S services commencement date is in the future and which have not been paid by the customerclient as of the date of our condensed consolidated financial statements. We continually assess the collectability of our accounts receivable. If we deem it less than probable that we will collect an amount due us, we write-off that balance against our allowance for doubtful accounts. Accordingly, we determine our accounts receivable, net, as follows ($ in thousands):

Notes Payable

In November 2019, we entered into a credit facility with J.P. Morgan Chase Bank, N.A, as Administrative Agent and East West Bank as Syndication Agent consisting of a $50.0 million term loan and a $5 million revolving agreement (the “Loan Agreement”), which is secured by substantially all of our assets. Funds from the term loan were substantially used to fund a special dividend of $3.35 to our common shareholders which was paid on December 5, 2019. The revolving loan may be accessed to fund working capital needs. The loans bear a variable interest rate of LIBOR plus a Term Loan Spread between 3.75% and 2.25%. The amount of the Term Loan Spread is a function of the Company’s Leverage Ratio. Effective January 3, 2020, the Company entered into an Amendment and Waiver No. 1 to the Credit Agreement to increase the amount of the special dividend permitted to be paid to stockholders on December 5, 2019 to accommodate last minute option exercises and to exclude the May 28, 2019 special dividend from the fixed charges calculation. Effective April 13, 2020 the Company entered into Amendment No. 2 to the Credit Agreement which provided consent for the Company to borrow $2.0 million under the U.S. Small Business Administration Payroll Protection Program authorized by the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”) (Note 16).

At March 31, 2020, the principal balance outstanding under the term note payable was $48.1 million and the balance of the revolving note payable was zero.

The aggregate maturities of our notes payable, as of March 31, 2020, are as follows: $3.8 million in 2020, $7.5 million in 2021, $7.5 million in 2022, $10.0 million in 2023, and $19.4 million in 2024.

Interest payments under the credit facility are due monthly. Principal payments are due quarterly. The loans may be prepaid at any time without penalty. 

The Loan Agreement contains the following financial covenants:

●     We must not exceed a Total Leverage Ratio of 3.25x. This ratio decreases to 3.0x at September 30, 2020, 2.75x at March 31, 2021 and 2.25x at March 31, 2022. This ratio is defined in the Loan Agreement as the ratio of consolidated total funded indebtedness to consolidated EBITDA minus capitalized software expenditures for the period of the four most recent consecutive fiscal quarters. As of March 31, 2020, this debt service coverage ratio was 2.54x.

●           We must maintain a Fixed Coverage Charge Ratio of 1.25x. This ratio is defined in the Loan Agreement as the ratio of consolidated EBITDA minus unfinanced capital expenditures to cash interest expense plus scheduled principal payments made plus taxes paid in cash plus restricted payments made in cash. As of March 31, 2020, this debt to tangible net worth ratio was 2.93x.

The Loan Agreement contains customary covenants relating to maintaining legal existence and good standing, complying with applicable laws, delivery of financial statements, payment of taxes and maintaining insurance. The Loan Agreement also contains customary events of default including the failure to make payments of principal and interest, the breach of any covenants, the occurrence of a material adverse change, and certain bankruptcy and insolvency events. Additionally, we may be restricted from declaring dividends if an Event of Default exists, or if immediately prior to and after giving effect of such dividend it would cause us to exceed our maximum Total Leverage Ratio, or fall below our minimum Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio.

In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, we consider whether it is more-likely-than-not that some portion or all the deferred tax asset will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. We have concluded it is more-likely-than-not that our ability to generate future taxable income will allow us to realize those deferred tax assets.

 

As of March 31, 2019,2020, we had Texas Research and Development tax credit carryforwards of $210,000. We believe it is uncertain that we will have sufficient Texas Franchise Tax in the future to support utilization of these carryforward credits. Accordingly, we have provided a valuation allowance for the full amount of these credit carryforwards.$136,000. These carryforwards expire in years 2034 through 2039.

 

The aggregate changes in the balance of our gross unrecognized tax benefits were as follows ($ in thousands):

Our unrecognized tax benefit is related to research and development credits taken on our 2017 U.S. income tax returns in 2012, 2013, 2015, 2016, and 2017return and the uncertainty related to the realization of a portion of those credits based on prior experience. We believe it reasonably possible that we will not recognize any of our unrecognized tax benefits at least through December 31, 2019. If we realized and recognized any of our unrecognized tax benefits, such benefits would reduce our effective tax rate in the year of recognition.

 

We record interest and penalty expense related to income taxes as interest and other expense, respectively. At March 31, 2019,2020, no interest or penalties had been or were required to be accrued. We file income tax returns in the US and in various state jurisdictions with varying statues of limitations. We are no longer subject to income tax examination by tax authorities for years prior to 20112016 with respect to our federal income tax returns and years prior to 20132015 with respect to most of our state income tax returns. We do not file, and are not required to file, any foreign income tax returns.

 

Our income tax expense (benefit) reconciles to an income tax expense resulting from applying an assumed statutory federal income tax rate of 21% for the 20192020 quarter and 20182019 quarter to income (loss) before income taxes as follows ($ in thousands):

On June 21, 2018, in South Dakota v Wayfair Inc., the United States Supreme Court held that states may charge sales tax on purchases made from out-of-state sellers, even if the seller does not have a physical presence in the taxing state. We are evaluating our state income tax filings with respect to the recent Wayfair decision. Currently, we file state income tax returns in those states in which we have a physical presence and/or are otherwise required by a state to register to do business.

Commitments and Contingencies

 

Severance Payments

 

We have agreements with key personnel that provide for severance payments to them in the event of a “change in control” of the Company, as defined in those agreements, and their employment is terminated in connection with that change in control. In such event, our aggregate severance payments to those employees would be between approximately $900,000.$700,000 and $1.5 million depending upon the circumstances.

 

Legal and Regulatory Matters

As previously disclosed in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on November 15, 2017, on August 9, 2017, a securities class action complaint, Anthony Giovagnoli v. GlobalSCAPE, Inc., et. al., Case No. 5:17-cv-00753, was filed against the Company in the United States District Court for the Western District of Texas. On November 6, 2017, the Court appointed Irfan Rahman as lead plaintiff (the “Lead Plaintiff”), and he filed the First Amended Complaint (the “Amended Complaint”) on July 26, 2018. The Amended Complaint named the Company and each of Matthew Goulet, James Albrecht, Thomas Brown, David Mann, Frank Morgan, and Thomas Hicks (the “Individual Defendants”) as defendants for allegedly making materially false and misleading statements regarding, inter alia, the Company’s previously reported financial statements. The Amended Complaint alleged violations of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder. The Amended Complaint sought unspecified damages, costs, attorneys’ fees, and equitable relief. The parties reached a settlement and submitted a Stipulation of Settlement to the Court on September 13, 2018. Under this settlement, the Company’s and Individual Defendants’ insurance carrier has provided the Class with a cash payment of $1,400,000, which includes the cash amount of any attorney’s fees or litigation expenses that the Court may award Lead Plaintiff’s counsel and costs Lead Plaintiff may incur in administering and providing notice of the settlement. In exchange, Lead Plaintiff has agreed that the settlement will include a dismissal of the Class Action with prejudice and a release of all claims against the Company and the Individual Defendants by the Class. The Court entered an Order and Final Judgment approving the settlement on December 18, 2018. On December 18, 2018, the Court also awarded Plaintiff’s Lead Counsel and Liaison Counsel 25% of the settlement fund ($350,000) in fees and $12,721 in reimbursement of expenses, which was paid from the settlement fund.

On October 20, 2017, the Company received a demand letter from a stockholder seeking the inspection of books and records of the Company pursuant to Section 220 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “Section 220 Demand”). This stockholder’s stated purpose for the demand is, inter alia, to investigate whether the Company’s Board of Directors and officers engaged in an illegal scheme to misrepresent the Company’s performance by falsely reporting accounts receivable, license revenue, total current assets and total assets, total stockholders’ equity, and total liabilities for the year ended December 31, 2016, as well as the Board of Director’s independence to consider a stockholder derivative demand. The Company intends to fully respond to the Section 220 Demand to the extent required under Delaware law.

On October 12, 2018, and November 30, 2018 the Company received letters from stockholders (the “Stockholder Demands”) demanding that the Company take action to remedy alleged harm caused to the Company, including to remedy alleged breaches of fiduciary duties by certain current and/or former directors and executive officers of the Company. The stockholders allege, inter alia, that certain current and former directors and executive officers violated their fiduciary duties beginning at least in July 2016, causing the Company to suffer damages by overstating financial results for the fourth quarter of 2016.

The Board of Directors has established a special litigation committee (“Special Litigation Committee”) consisting of Thomas Hicks and Frank Morgan to analyze and investigate claims that could potentially be asserted in stockholder derivative litigation related to facts connected to the claims and allegations asserted in the litigation related to the restatement of (i) our condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 and (ii) our consolidated financial statements as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2017 (the “Restatement”) and the Section 220 Demand (the “Potential Derivative Litigation”). The Special Litigation Committee will determine what actions are appropriate and in the best interests of the Company, and decide whether it is in the best interests of the Company to pursue, dismiss, or consensually resolve any claims that may be asserted in the Potential Derivative Litigation. The Board of Directors determined that each member of the Special Litigation Committee is disinterested and independent with respect to the Potential Derivative Litigation. Among other things, the Special Litigation Committee has the power to retain counsel and advisors, as appropriate, to assist it in the investigation, to gather and review relevant documents relating to the claims, to interview persons who may have knowledge of the relevant information, to prepare a report setting forth its conclusions and recommended course of action with respect to the Potential Derivative Litigation, and to take any actions, including, without limitation, directing the filing and prosecution of litigation on behalf of the Company, as the Special Litigation Committee in its sole discretion deems to be in the best interests of the Company in connection with the Potential Derivative Litigation. The Special Litigation Committee’s findings and determinations shall be final and not subject to review by the Board of Directors and in all respects shall be binding upon the Company. The Special Litigation Committee has concluded its investigation into the claims raised in the Stockholder Demands and concluded, among other things, that it is not in the best interest of the Company to pursue the claims raised in the Stockholder Demands.

 

As disclosed in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed on March 16, 2018, the Fort Worth, Texas Regional Office of the SEC has opened a formal investigation of issues relating to the Restatement, with which the Company is cooperating fully. At this time, the Company is unable to predict the duration, scope, result or related costs associated with the SEC’s investigation. The Company is also unable to predict what, if any, action may be taken by the SEC, or what penalties or remedial actions the SEC may seek. Any determination by the SEC that the Company’s activities were not in compliance with existing laws or regulations, however, could result in the imposition of fines, penalties, disgorgement, equitable relief, or other losses, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, liquidity, or results of operations.

 

On May 31, 2018, the Company was served with a subpoena issued by a grand jury sitting in the United States District Court for the Western District of Texas (the “Grand Jury Subpoena”). The Grand Jury Subpoena requests all documents and emails relating to the Company’s investigation of the potential improper recognition of software license revenue. The Company intends to fully cooperate with the Grand Jury Subpoena and related investigation being conducted by the United States Attorney’s Office for the Western District of Texas (the “U.S. Attorney’s Investigation”). At this time, the Company is unable to predict the duration, scope, result or related costs of the U.S. Attorney’s Investigation. The Company is also unable to predict what, if any, further action may be taken in connection with the Grand Jury Subpoena and the U.S. Attorney’s Investigation, or what, if any, penalties, sanctions or remedial actions may be sought. Any determination by the U.S. Attorney’s office that the Company’s activities were not in compliance with existing laws or regulations, however, could result in the imposition of fines, penalties, disgorgement, equitable relief, or other losses, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, liquidity, or results of operations.

Subsequent to March 31,On April 18, 2019, we havethe Company signed a new operating lease for our existing office space location. The lease is for a period of 10 years at an average annual rent of $462,000 beginning May 1, 2019. We estimate that this will result inrecorded a Right-of-Use Assetright-of-use asset and Lease Labilitylease liability of approximately $3 million uponat the commencement of the lease.

Concentration of Business Volume and Credit Risk

 

In order to leverage the resources of third parties, we make our products available for purchase by end users through third-party, channel distributors even though those end users can also purchase those products directly from us. In the 20192020 quarter and 20182019 quarter, we earned approximately 19%18% and 12%19%, respectively, of our revenue from such sales through our largest third-party channel distributor. As of March 31, 2019,2020, approximately 26%23% of our accounts receivable were due from this channel distributor with payment for substantially all such amounts having been received subsequent to that date.

Subsequent Events

On April 7, 2020 we entered into an agreement with EastWest Bank to borrow $1,987,700 under the U.S. Small Business Administration Payroll Protection Program authorized by the CARES Act. Following receipt of the loan proceeds, we evaluated our access to credit through other sources of funding and determined to repay the funds borrowed under the CARES Act. On May 5, 2020, we returned the $1,987,700 in proceeds from the loan, which was not used by the Company.

 

 

 

 

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this “Quarterly Report”) of GlobalSCAPE, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary (collectively referred to as “GlobalSCAPE”, the “Company”, “we” or “our”), and any documents incorporated by reference herein contain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (the “Securities Act”) and Section 21E of the SecuritasSecurities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). “Forward-looking statements” are those statements that are not of historical fact but describe management’s beliefs and expectations. We have identified many of the forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report by using words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “could,” “estimate,” “may,” “expect,” “potentially” and “intend.” Although we believe these expectations are reasonable, our operations involve a number of risks and uncertainties, including those described in the “Risk Factors” section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 20182019 (the “2018“2019 Form 10-K”) and other documents filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Therefore, GlobalSCAPE’s actual results of operations and financial condition in the future could differ materially from those discussed in this Quarterly Report.

 

In the following discussion, our references to the 20192020 quarter and the 20182019 quarter refer to the three months ended March 31, 20192020 and 2018,2019, respectively.

 

Overview

 

We develop and sell computer software that provides secure information exchange, data transfer and sharing capabilities for enterprises and consumers. We have been in business for more than twenty years.

 

Our primary business is selling and supporting managed file transfer (“MFT”) software for enterprises. MFT software facilitates the transfer of data from one location to another across a computer network within a single enterprise or between multiple computer networks in multiple enterprises.

 

Our MFT products are based upon our Enhanced File Transfer (“EFT”) platform. This on-premise and cloud-based delivery platform emphasizes secure and efficient data exchange for virtually any organization. It enables business partners, customersclients and employees to share information safely and securely. The EFT platform provides enterprise-level security while automating the integration of back-end systems which are features often missing from traditional file transfer software. The EFT platform features built-in regulatory compliance, governance, and visibility controls to maintain data safety and security. It can replace legacy systems, homegrown servers, expensive leased lines and virtual area networks. The EFT platform promotes ease of administration while providing the detailed capabilities necessary for complete control of a file transfer system.

 

We continue to explore all strategic alternatives to maximize value for shareholders, including without limitation to improve the market position and profitability of our product offerings in the marketplace, generate additional liquidity, and enhance our valuation. We may pursue our goals through organic growth or strategic or other alternatives. We will also continue to monitor capital markets for opportunities to repurchase shares, as well as consider other actions designed to enhance shareholder value.

 

We earn most of our revenue from the sale of products and services that are part of our EFT platform. CustomersClients can purchase the capabilities of our EFT platform in two ways:

 

 

Under a perpetual software license for which they pay a one-time fee and under which they typically install our product on computers that they own and/or manage. Our brand name for this product is EFT. Almost all customersclients who purchase EFT also purchase a maintenance and support (“M&S”) contract for which they pay us an annual recurring fee. Most of the revenue we have earned from our EFT platform products has been from sales of perpetual software licenses and related M&S.

 

 

As a software-as-a-service, or SaaS, under which they pay us ongoing fees to access the capabilities of the EFT platform in the cloud. In January 2018, we introduced EFT Arcus, our SaaS offering of the EFT platform for which users pay a base monthly subscription fee plus an additional variable amount determined based upon their metered usage of EFT Arcus resources.

 

We sell other products that are synergistic to our EFT platform including Mail Express, WAFS, and CuteFTP. Collectively, these products constituted less than 3%2% of our total revenue in the 20192020 quarter. CustomersClients pay a one-time fee to purchase these products under a perpetual software license. Some customersclients also purchase an M&S contract. We do not offer a SaaS version of these products and have no plans to do so. We plancontinue to phase outoffer product support for Mail Express and WAFS, inwhich we discontinued as products for sale as of January 1, 2019.

 

 

We focus on selling our EFT platform products in a business-to-business environment. The majority of the resources we will expend in the future for product research, development, marketing and sales will focus on this product line. We expect to expend minimal resources developing and selling our other products. We believe our EFT platform products and business capabilities are well-positioned to compete effectively in the market for these products. For a more comprehensive discussion of the products we sell and the services we offer, see “Software Products and Services below.

 

AppointmentDuring the 2020 quarter, license revenue from our EFT platform products decreased 24%. The decline is primarily attributable to a slowdown in deal velocity as companies around the globe began to evaluate the effects of new Interim Chief Executive Officer

As previously disclosed,COVID-19 and started shifting to remote workforces.  We believe some clients and prospects decided to defer their buying decisions to a later period. Economic downturns or other adverse economic conditions, including but not limited to, public health crises that reduce economic activity (including the Company’s Presidentrecent coronavirus COVID-19 outbreak) could have an adverse effect on spending on information technology projects since in such environments, prospects and Chief Executive Officer, Matthew Goulet, unexpectedly passed awayclients may reduce, sometimes greatly, their discretionary spending to focus on March 30, 2019. On March 31, 2019, the Board of Directors named Robert Alpert, Chairman of the Board of Directors, as Interim CEO while the search for a permanent replacement begins.preserving mandatory spending budgets.

 

Key Business Metrics

 

We review two key business metrics on an ongoing basis to help us monitor our performance and to identify material trends which may affect our business: revenue growth and Adjusted EBITDA (as defined and further described below).

 

Revenue Growth

 

We believe annual revenue growth is a key metric for monitoring our continued success in developing our business in future periods. Given our diverse solution portfolio, we regularly review our revenue mix and changes in revenue across all solutions to identify emerging trends.

 

See “Comparison of the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations for the Three Months Ended March 3131,, 20192020 and 20182019for a discussion of trends in our revenue growth that we monitor using this metric.

Adjusted EBITDA (Non-GAAP Measurement)

 

We utilize Adjusted EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Total Other Income/Expense, Depreciation, Amortization, and Share-BasedStock-Based Compensation Expense) to provide us a view of income and expenses that is supplemental and secondary to our primary assessment of net income (loss) as presented in our condensed consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income (loss).income. We use Adjusted EBITDA to provide another perspective for measuring profitability that does not include the effects of the following items:

 

 

Expenses that typically do not require us to pay them in cash in the current period (such as depreciation, amortization and share-basedstock-based compensation);

 

The cost of financing our business; and

 

The effects of income taxes.

Prior to 2018, we did not add back the amortization of capitalized software development costs in our Adjusted EBITDA computation. In 2018, after researching the methods used by other software companies, we changed our method of computing Adjusted EBITDA to include the amortization of capitalized software development cost in order to enhance the comparability of the computation to that of our peers.

 

We monitor Adjusted EBITDA to assess our performance relative to our intended strategies, expected patterns of action, and budgets. We use the results of that assessment to adjust our future activities to the extent we deem necessary.

Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of financial performance under United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). It should not be considered as a substitute for net income (loss) presented on our condensed consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income (loss).income. Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool and when assessing our operating performance. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or without a simultaneous reading and consideration of our condensed consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Software Products and Services

 

We develop and sell computer software that provides secure information exchange, data transfer, and data sharing capabilities for enterprises and consumers. We have been in business for more than twenty years having sold our products to thousands of enterprises and individual consumers globally.

 

Our primary business is selling and supporting MFT software for enterprises. MFT software facilitates the transfer of data from one location to another across a computer network within a single enterprise or between multiple computer networks in multiple enterprises. Examples of enterprise-level activities that rely on MFT software include:

 

 

Transfer of transactional information within an enterprise on a repetitive basis from one geographic location to another, such as a transfer of deposit and withdrawal information throughout the day from a branch of a bank to a central data processing center at another location.

 

Movement of accumulated information within an enterprise from one data processing application to another on a periodic basis, such as a transfer of bi-weekly payroll information from a payroll system that is used to pay employees to a job cost system that is used to manage the cost of a project.

 

Exchange of information between enterprises to facilitate the completion of one or more business transactions, such as a retailer transmitting inventory purchasing requirements produced by its material requirements planning system to an order entry system at a supplying vendor.

 

We earn over 95%97% of our revenue from the sale of MFT products and services that are part of our EFT platform. We have multiple revenue streams from the EFT platform that include:

 

 

Perpetual software licenses under which customersclients pay a one-time fee for the right to install our products in their information systems environment on computers they manage and either own or otherwise procure from a cloud services provider, including deploying our products at a cloud services provider in a bring-your-own-license, or BYOL, environment. Our brand name for this product is EFT. Historically, most of the revenue we have earned from our EFT platform products has been from sales of EFT perpetual software licenses and related M&S.

 

Cloud-based, SaaS solutions that we sell on an ongoing subscription basis. In January 2018, we introduced EFT Arcus, our SaaS offering of the EFT platform going forward, for which users pay a base monthly subscription fee plus an additional variable amount based upon their metered usage of EFT Arcus resources.

 

M&S.

 

Professional services for product installation, integration and training.

 

We focus on selling our EFT platform products in a business-to-business environment. The majority of the resources we will expend in the future for product research, development, marketing and sales will focus on this product line. We expect to expend minimal resources developing and selling our other products. We believe our EFT platform products and business capabilities are well-positioned to compete effectively in the market for these products. For a more comprehensive discussion of the products we sell and the services we offer, see below.

 

We sell other products that are synergistic to our EFT platform including Mail Express, WAFS, and CuteFTP. Collectively, these products constituted less than 3%2% of our total revenue in the first quarter of 2019. Customers2020 quarter. Clients pay a one-time fee to purchase these products under a perpetual software license. Some customersclients also purchase an M&S contract. We do not offer a SaaS version of these products and have no plans to do so. We plancontinue to phase outoffer product support for Mail Express and WAFS, inwhich we discontinued as products for sale as of January 1, 2019.

 

We earn most of our revenue from the sale of our EFT platform products that support business-to-business activities and are strategically focused on selling products in that environment. We intend to expend the majority of our resources in the future for product research and development, marketing, and sales in a manner that concentrates on the business-to-business market. We believe our products and business capabilities are well-positioned to compete effectively in that market.

 

The following discussion presents a summary description of our specific products and solutions.

 

Managed File Transfer – Enhanced File Transfer Platform

 

EFT is the brand name of our core MFT product platform. The EFT platform provides users the ability to securely transmit data from one location to another using any number of files of any size or configuration. It facilitates management, monitoring, and reporting on file transfers and delivers advanced data transfer workflow capabilities to move data and information into, out of, and throughout an enterprise.

 

The EFT platform provides a common, scalable MFT environment that accommodates a broad family of accompanying modules to provide enterprises with increased security, automation, compliance and performance when compared to traditional FTP-based and email delivery systems. Various optional modules allow users to select the solution configuration most applicable to their requirements for auditing, reporting, encryption, ad hoc and web-based file transfers, operability in or through a DMZ network, and integration with back-end business processes, including workflow automation capabilities.

 

General features and capabilities of the EFT platform include:

 

 

State-of-the-art, enterprise-level security when transferring information within or between computer networks as well as for collaboration with business partners, customers,clients, and employees. EFT also provides automation that supports effective integration of back-end systems. It has built-in regulatory compliance, governance, and visibility controls to provide a means of safely maintaining information. EFT offers a high level of performance and scalability to support operational efficiency and maintain business continuity. Administrative tools provide for complete control and monitoring of file transfer activities.

 

Transmission of critical information such as financial data, medical records, customerclient files, vendor files, personnel files, transaction activity, and other similar documents between diverse and geographically separated network infrastructures while supporting a range of information protection approaches to meet privacy, compliance and security requirements. In addition to enabling the secure, flexible transmission of critical information using servers, computers and a wide range of network-enabled mobile devices, our products also provide customersclients with the ability to monitor and audit file transfer activities.

 

Compliance with government regulations and industry standards relating to the protection of information while allowing users to reduce information systems and technologies costs, increase efficiency, track and audit transactions, and automate processes. Our solutions also provide data replication, acceleration of file transfer, sharing and collaboration, and continuous data backup and recovery.

 

EFT Platform – Delivery Offerings

 

Our customersclients can purchase the capabilities of our EFT platform in two ways:

 

 

Under a perpetual software license for which they pay a one-time fee and under which they typically install our product on computers that they own and or manage. The EFT platform purchased in this manner can also be used in a bring-your-own-license environment hosted by major cloud providers such as Amazon Web Services or Microsoft Azure. Almost all customersclients who purchase a perpetual license to use the EFT platform also purchase an M&S contract for which they pay us a recurring fee that is typically 20% to 30% of the perpetual license fee per year.

 

As a SaaS under which the customerclient pays us monthly subscription and usage fees to access the capabilities of the EFT platform in the cloud. Our brand name for this product is EFT Arcus. We introduced this product in January 2018. We have not yet earned significant revenue from the SaaS offering of our EFT platform.

 

Secure Information Sharing and Exchange Solution – Mail Express

Mail Express is a solution that provides secure information sharing and exchange capabilities leveraging traditional email workflow. It is a stand-alone product installed in a client-server environment that allows users to send and receive secure, encrypted email and attachments of virtually unlimited size. As of January 1, 2019, Mail Express is no longer being offered for sale, however we will continue to offer product support.

Wide Area File Services Solution - WAFS

Our WAFS software product uses data synchronization to further enhance the ability to replicate, share and backup files within a wide area network or local area network thereby allowing users to access their data at higher speeds than possible with most alternate approaches. The software uses byte-level differencing technology to update changes to files with minimal impact on network bandwidth while also ensuring that files are never overwritten, even if opened by other remote users. As of January 1, 2019, WAFS is no longer being offered for sale, however we will continue to offer product support.

File Transfer Solution for Consumers - CuteFTP 

 

CuteFTP is our original product introduced in 1996. It is a file transfer program generally used by individuals and small businesses. It generates incremental revenue for us at a relatively low cost. We will continue selling CuteFTP as a stand-alone product and providing M&S services to customers,clients, but will not invest significantly in enhancing or marketing the product.

 

Professional Services

 

We offer a wide range of professional services to complement our on-premises and SaaS solutions. These services can include:

 

System integration and implantationimplementation

Business process and workflow planning

Policy development

Education and training

Solution health checks

 

Maintenance and Support

 

We offer M&S contracts to licensees of all of our software products. These M&S contracts entitle the licensee to software upgrades and technical support services in accordance with the terms of our M&S contract. Standard technical support services are provided via email and telephone during our regular business hours. For certain products, we offer a Platinum M&S contract which provides access to emergency technical assistance 24 hours per day, 7 days a week.

 

Most of our M&S contracts are for one year although we also sell multi-year contracts. M&S is purchased by substantially all buyers of our EFT platform as well as by many customersclients who purchase our other products. CustomersClients with M&S contracts pay us a recurring, annual fee that is typically 20% to 30% of the software license price. A majority of our customersclients with M&S contracts renew them each year.

On August 3, 2018, we implemented a plan to restructure our organization, which included a reduction in workforce of approximately 40 employees, representing approximately 30% of the Company’s total pre-restructuring workforce. We recorded a charge of $381,000 in the third quarter of 2018 relating to this reduction in force, consisting primarily of one-time severance payments and termination benefits. The Company’s goal in the restructuring was to better focus our workforce on retaining current customers, gaining incremental business from current customers, and winning new business in the market segments where we can leverage our expertise and long history as an EFT pioneer.

Through the first quarter of 2019, the realignment has resulted in a significant reduction in total operating expenses and a significant increase in operating income. No assurance can be provided that operating expenses will continue to decline or that operating income will continue to increase. Please see the Company’s discussion of “Risk Factors – Risks Related to Our Operations” in our 2018 Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 18, 2019.

When assessing our liquidity and capital resources, we consider the following factor:

 

 

Deferred revenue, unlike the other liability components of our working capital, is an obligation we will satisfy by providing services in the future to our customersclients as part of our ongoing operating activities from which we have historically generated cash flow. Our deferred revenue does not involve a disbursement of cash as a direct payment of that liability although we will incur operating expenses in the future as we deliver those M&S services.

 

Our capital requirements principally relate to our need to fund our ongoing operating expenditures, which are primarily related to employee salaries and benefits. We make these expenditures to enhance our existing products, develop new products, sell those products in the marketplace and support our customers after the sale.

 

We rely on cash and cash equivalents on hand and cash flows from operations to fund our operating activities and believe those items will be our principal sources of capital for the foreseeable future. If our revenue declines and/or our expenses increase, our cash flow from operations and cash on hand could decline.

 

Cash provided or used by our various activities consisted of the following ($ in thousands):

Our cash provided by operating activities increaseddecreased during the 20192020 quarter compared to the 20182019 quarter primarily due to the following factors:

 

 

Accounts receivable decreasing $1.2 million duringStock-based compensation increasing $497,000 in the 2020 quarter compared to $875,000 in the 2019 quarter compared to decreasing $1.8 million during the 2018 quarterprimarily due primarily to more cash collected from customers in the 2018 quarter as a result of increased collection activities that concentrated on older, smaller outstanding receivables, which was not necessary in 2019. In addition, there was a significant increase in sales throughout the 2019 three months compared to the 2018 three months.expense related to the accelerated vesting of options granted to our former Chief Executive Officer who passed away unexpectedly in March 2019. The vesting acceleration was pursuant to the terms of the applicable option agreements.

 

 

Deferred revenue decreasing $47,000 in the 2020 quarter compared to increasing $307,000 duringin the 2019. The increase in the 2019 quarter comparedwas primarily the result of improved processes implemented to decreasing $1.3 million duringbetter capture M&S renewals. The small decline in the 20182020 quarter is due primarily to an increase in single-year renewals.the completion of certain efforts to improve operational processes.

The amount of cash we used for investing activities during the 20192020 quarter decreasedincreased compared to the 20182019 quarter due primarily to a decreasean increase in our capitalized software development costs capitalized due to the reduction in force which significantly reduced the headcount in our engineering department.costs.

 

Financing activities used moreless cash during the 20192020 quarter than during the 20182019 quarter primarily due to:

 

 

The purchase of $375,000 of our common stock through open market stock repurchases.

A one-time payment in the 2019 quarter of $445,000 (net of tax benefit) to our former Chief Financial Officer to terminate certain stock option agreements.agreements where no similar event occurred in the 2020 quarter.

Offset by:

The principal loan payment of $1.25 million made in the 2020 quarter.

Loan Agreement

In November 2019, we entered into a credit facility with J.P. Morgan Chase Bank, N.A, as Administrative Agent and East West Bank as Syndication Agent consisting of a $50.0 million term loan and a $5 million revolving agreement (the “Loan Agreement”). Funds from the term loan were substantially used to fund a special dividend of $3.35 to our common shareholders which was paid on December 5, 2019. The revolving loan may be accessed to fund working capital needs. The loans bear a variable interest rate of LIBOR plus a Term Loan Spread between 3.75% and 2.25%. The amount of the Term Loan Spread is a function of the Company’s Leverage Ratio. Effective January 3, 2020, the Company entered into an Amendment and Waiver No. 1 to the Credit Agreement to increase the amount of the special dividend permitted to be paid to stockholders on December 5, 2019 to accommodate last minute option exercises and to exclude the May 28, 2019 special dividend from the fixed charges calculation. Effective April 13, 2020, the Company entered into Amendment No. 2 to the Credit Agreement which provided formal consent for the Company to borrow $2.0 million under the U.S. Small Business Administration Payroll Protection Program authorized by the CARES Act.

As permitted by the above consent, we entered into an agreement with EastWest Bank to borrow $1,987,700 under the U.S. Small Business Administration Payroll Protection Program authorized by the CARES Act. Following receipt of the loan proceeds, we evaluated our access to credit through other sources of funding and determined to repay the funds borrowed under the CARES Act. On May 5, 2020, we returned the $1,987,700 in proceeds from the loan, which was not used by the Company.

At March 31, 2020, the principal balance outstanding under the term note payable was $48.1 million and the balance of the revolving note payable was zero.

The aggregate maturities of our notes payable, as of March 31, 2020, are as follows: $3.8 million in 2020, $7.5 million in 2021, $7.5 million in 2022, $10.0 million in 2023, and $19.4 million in 2024.

Interest payments under the credit facility are due monthly. Principal payments are due quarterly. The loans may be prepaid at any time without penalty. 

The Loan Agreement contains the following financial covenants:

●     We must not exceed a Total Leverage Ratio of 3.25x. This ratio decreases to 3.0x at September 30, 2020, 2.75x at March 31, 2021 and 2.25x at March 31, 2022. This ratio is defined in the Loan Agreement as the ratio of (a) consolidated total funded indebtedness to consolidated EBITDA minus capitalized software expenditures for the period of the four most recent consecutive fiscal quarters. As of March 31, 2020, this debt service coverage ratio was 2.54x.

●           We must maintain a Fixed Coverage Charge Ratio of 1.25x. This ratio is defined in the Loan Agreement as the ratio of consolidated EBITDA minus unfinanced capital expenditures to cash interest expense plus scheduled principal payments made plus taxes paid in cash plus restricted payments made in cash. As of March 31, 2020, this debt to tangible net worth ratio was 2.93x.

The Loan Agreement contains customary covenants relating to maintaining legal existence and good standing, complying with applicable laws, delivery of financial statements, payment of taxes and maintaining insurance. The Loan Agreement also contains customary events of default including the failure to make payments of principal and interest, the breach of any covenants, the occurrence of a material adverse change, and certain bankruptcy and insolvency events.

 

Contractual Obligations and Commitments

 

As ofAt March 31, 2019,2020, our contractual obligations and commitments consisted primarily of the following items:

Obligations outstanding under the Loan Agreement described above.

 

 

An obligation to deliver services in the future to satisfy our right to earn our deferred revenue of $16.5$18.2 million. Those future services primarily relate to our obligations under M&S contracts. We will recognize this deferred revenue as revenue over the remaining life of those contracts which generally ranges from one to three years. Deferred revenue, unlike the other liability components of our working capital, is an obligation we will satisfy bythrough providing services in the future to our customersclients as part of our ongoing operating activities from which we have historically generated cash flow. Our deferred revenue does not involve a disbursement of cash as a direct payment of that liability although we will incur operating expenses in the future as we deliver those M&S services.liability.

 

Trade accounts payable and accrued liabilities which include our contractual obligations to pay software royalties to third parties that vary in amount based on our sales volume of products upon which royalties are payable.

 

Operating lease for our office space.

 

Federal and state taxes.

Subsequent to March 31, 2019, we have signed a new operating lease for our existing office space location. The lease is for a period of 10 years at an average annual rent of $462,000 beginning May 1, 2019. We estimate that this will result in a Right-of-Use Asset and Lease Lability of approximately $3 million being recorded upon the commencement of the lease.  

As of March 31, 2019, we had no interest-bearing obligations in the form of loans, notes payable or similar debt instruments.

Our total revenue increased 22%3%. Revenue from our EFT platform products and services increased 24%4%. Revenue from our other products that consist of Mail Express, WAFS, CuteFTP, and TappIn decreased to comprising less than 3%2% of our total revenue, which is a trend that is in line with our ongoing de-emphasis of those products.

 

As of January 1, 2019,We continue to offer product support for Mail Express and WAFS, are no longer being offeredwhich we discontinued as products for sale however we will continue to offer product supportas of January 1, 2019.

 

EFT Platform Products

 

License revenue from our EFT platform products increaseddecreased 24%. This increase wasThe decline is primarily dueattributable to a slowdown in deal velocity as companies around the globe began to evaluate the effects of COVID-19 and started shifting to remote workforces. We believe some clients and prospects decided to defer their buying decisions to a later period. Economic downturns or other adverse economic conditions, including but not limited to, public health crises that reduce economic activity (including the recent coronavirus COVID-19 outbreak) could have an increaseadverse effect on spending on information technology projects since in the number of large transactions, including transactions that were expectedsuch environments, prospects and clients may reduce, sometimes greatly, their discretionary spending to originally close in the previous quarter.focus on preserving mandatory spending budgets.

 

 

M&S revenue from our EFT platform products increased 20%18% primarily due to:

 

 

The addition of sales resources that are focused on (i) increasing the number of customersclients who renew M&S and (ii) increasing annual contract prices to better reflect the value provided by our support teams.

 

Ongoing license sales since a majority of license sales are accompanied by an M&S contract. The change in M&S revenue typically lags behind the related change in license revenue because license sales are recognized as revenue in full in the period the license is delivered while the related M&S revenue is recognized in future periods as those services are delivered.

 

Sustaining high renewal rates of M&S contracts by customersclients who initially purchased these services in earlier periods. We believe these renewals are the result of customersclients recognizing the value provided by our Maintenance and Support team.

 

Our professional services revenue was $252,000 more$52,000 less for the 20192020 quarter compared to the 20182019 quarter, which is an increasea decrease of 56%7%. This increasedecrease was primarily due to an increase in softwarethe decreased license sales, which typically results in higherrevenue from our EFT platform since there generally is a direct relationship between the licenses our customers purchase and their need for professional service revenue.services.

Cost of Revenues. These expenses are associated with the production, delivery and support of our products and services. We believe it is meaningful to view cost of revenues as a percent of the revenues to which those costs relate since many of those costs are variable relative to revenue.

 

Cost of license revenue primarily consists of:

 

 

Amortization of capitalized software development costs we incur when producing our software products. Amortization begins when a product is ready for general release to the public and generally is an expense that is not directly variable relative to revenue.

 

Royalties we pay to use software developed by others for certain features of our products that is generally an expense that is variable relative to revenue.

 

Fees we pay to third parties who provide services supporting our SaaS and cloud-based subscription solutions that generally have components that are both variable and not variable relative to revenue.

 

Cost of M&S revenue and cost of professional services revenue consist primarily of salaries and related costs of our employees and third parties we use to deliver these services.

 

Cost of software license revenue decreased 21%increased 11% and as a percent of software license revenue was 34% in the 2020 quarter compared to 23% in the 2019 quarter compared to 36% in the 2018 quarter. These decreasesincreases were primarily due to a decreasean increase in amortization of capitalized software development costs.

 

Cost of M&S revenue as a percent of M&S revenue was 9% in both the 2020 quarter and the 2019 quarter as compared to 10% in the 2018 quarter. Cost of revenue for M&S in absolute dollars increased by 2%15%. These increases wereThe increase in absolute dollars was due primarily to increasing our headcountan increase in our customer support department.personnel related expenses.

 

Cost of professional services revenue as a percent of that revenue was 42%45% in the 20192020 quarter as compared to 72%42% in the 20182019 quarter. This variation resulted from the varying scope and mix of the professional services we deliver that can change from period-to-period in response to the circumstances of the customerclient environments in which we are working. Because the cost of revenue for professional services is highly variable relative to our revenue from our services, this cost in absolute dollars decreased 10% primarily due to a decrease in outsourced professional services.

 

Sales and Marketing.  We believe it meaningful to view cost of sales and marketing as a percent of revenues since many of those costs, particularly sales commissions, are variable relative to revenue. These expenses were 21% of total revenue for the 2020 quarter compared to 20% of total revenue for the 2019 quarter compared to 40% of total revenue for the 2018 quarter. In absolute dollars these expenses decreased 38%increased 8% due primarily to an increase in personnel related expenses.

General and Administrative. These expenses decreased marketing expenses related24% primarily due to a decrease in our spending for content syndication and reduced headcount.

General and Administrative. These expenses increased 11% primarily due to an increase in shared basedstock-based compensation expense related to the accelerated vesting of options granted to our former Chief Executive Officer who passed away unexpectedly.unexpectedly in March 2019. The vesting acceleration was pursuant to the terms of the applicable option agreements.

 

Legal and Professional. These expenses decreased 66%increased 7% primarily due to decreasesan increase in professional fees and related expenses associated with the previously disclosed internal investigation, the restatement of certain of our financial statements and related litigation described in Note 11 of the notes to our condensed consolidated financial statements.litigation.

Our total R&D expenditures decreased 53% duringincreased 28% between the 2020 and 2019 quarter as compared with the 2018 quarter primarilyquarters mainly due fewer employed software engineers and technical personnel.to higher personnel related expenses.

 

Total resources expended for R&D set forth above as total R&D expenditures serves to illustrate our total corporate efforts to improve our existing products and to develop new products regardless of whether or not our expenditures for those efforts were expensed or capitalized. Total resources expended for R&D is not a measure of financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered a substitute for R&D expense (set forth above as R&D expenditures expensed) and capitalized software development costs (set forth above as R&D expenditures capitalized) individually. While we believe the non-GAAP total resources expended for R&D amount provides useful supplemental information regarding our overall corporate product improvement and new product creation activities, there are limitations associated with the use of this non-GAAP measurement. Total resources expended for R&D is a non-GAAP measure not prepared in accordance with GAAP and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies since there is no standard for preparing this non-GAAP measure. As a result, this non-GAAP measure of total resources expended for R&D has limitations and should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, R&D expense and capitalized software development costs individually.

Other Interest Income (Expense), Net.(Expense) Interest. Other income (expense), net has historically consisted consists primarily of interest income earned on certificates of deposit. The Company redeemed all of the certificates of deposit in September and October 2018 in order to fund the purchase of sharesexpense related to the tender offer. In 2019 the interest income earned is related to interest from our money market account.credit facility more fully described in Note 7 of our financial statements.

 

Income Taxes. Our effective rate differed from the federal statutory tax rate of 21% in the 20192020 quarter and 20182019 quarter primarily due to:

 

 

Certain expenses in our condensed consolidated financial statements, such as a portion of meals and entertainment expenses andthat are not deductible on our federal income tax return.

For 2019 a portion of our stock based compensation that areis not deductible on our federal income tax return.

 

State income taxes included in income tax expense in our condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

Offset by:

 

 

The research and development credit which is a tax credit incentive that serves to reduce the rate at which we pay federal income taxes in exchange for us conducting certain aspects of our business in a manner promoted by the Internal Revenue Code.

 

The foreign derived intangible income deduction which was a part of the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act that lowered the tax rate for US corporations’ foreign derived intangible income.

For 2020 a deduction related to disqualifying disposition of incentive stock options.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

As of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report, our Chairman of the Board and Interim Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of GlobalSCAPE’s “disclosure controls and procedures” (as defined in the Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) and concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

ThereWe transitioned to a remote work force effective March 16, 2020 due to the coronavirus COVID-19 outbreak. This transition had no effect on our internal control procedures and there have been no other changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended March 31, 20192020 that could have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Part II. Other Information

 

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

 

The information set forth under “Note 11 – Commitments and Contingencies – Legal and Regulatory Matters” to the notes to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report is incorporated herein by reference.

 

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

 

In addition to the other information set forth in this Quarterly Report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in Part I, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our 20182019 Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 18, 2019.16, 2020. Except as set forth in this Quarterly Report, the risks and uncertainties described in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” of our 20182019 Form 10-K have not materially changed. These risk factors could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results, but they are not the only risks facing the Company. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, and/or operating results.

Our results of operations may be negatively impacted by the coronavirus outbreak.

We are closely monitoring the impact of the 2019 novel coronavirus, or COVID-19, on all aspects of our business. In March 2020, the World Health Organization characterized COVID-19 as a pandemic and the President of the United States declared the COVID-19 outbreak a national emergency. Since then, the COVID-19 pandemic has rapidly spread across the globe and has already resulted in significant volatility, uncertainty and economic disruption. The outbreak of COVID-19 has caused and may continue to cause travel bans or disruptions, and in some cases, prohibitions of non-essential activities, disruption and shutdown of businesses and greater uncertainty in global financial markets. The impact of COVID-19 is fluid and uncertain, but it has caused and may continue to cause various negative effects, including an inability to meet with actual or potential customers, our end customers deciding to delay or abandon their planned purchases or failing to make payments, the Company to delay, cancel, or withdraw from user and industry conferences and other marketing events, and delays or disruptions in our or our partners’ supply chains. As a result, we may experience extended sales cycles, our ability to close transactions with new and existing customers and partners may be negatively impacted, our ability to recognize revenue from software transactions we do close may be negatively impacted, our demand generation activities, and the efficiency and effect of those activities, may be negatively affected, our ability to provide 24x7 worldwide support to our end customers may be effected, and it has been and, until the COVID-19 outbreak is contained, will continue to be more difficult for us to forecast our operating results. These macroeconomic challenges and uncertainties, including the COVID-19 outbreak, have, and may continue to, put pressure on global economic conditions and overall IT spending and may cause our end customers to modify spending priorities or delay or abandon purchasing decisions, thereby lengthening sales cycles and potentially lowering prices for our solutions, and may make it difficult for us to forecast our sales and operating results and to make decisions about future investments, any of which could materially harm our business, operating results and financial condition.

The COVID-19 pandemic may prevent us from conducting business activities at full capacity for an indefinite period of time, including due to spread of the disease or due to shutdowns that are requested or mandated by governmental authorities. For example, we have taken precautionary measures intended to help minimize the risk of the virus to our employees which may disrupt our operations, including temporarily closing our offices and requiring all employees to work remotely, suspending all non-essential travel worldwide for our employees, and discouraging employee attendance at in-person work-related meetings. An extended period of remote work arrangements could strain our business continuity plans, introduce operational risk, including, but not limited to, cybersecurity risks, and impair our ability to effectively manage our business.

Further, our management team is focused on addressing the impacts of COVID-19 on our business, which has required and will continue to require, a large investment of their time and resources and may distract our management team or disrupt our 2020 operating plans. The extent to which COVID-19 ultimately impacts our results of operations, cash flow and financial position will depend on future developments, which are uncertain and cannot be predicted, including, but not limited to, the duration and spread of the outbreak, its severity, the actions taken by governments and authorities to contain the virus or treat its impact, and how quickly and to what extent normal economic and operating conditions can resume. Even after the COVID-19 pandemic has subsided, we may continue to experience materially adverse impacts to our business as a result of its global economic impact, including as a result of any recession that may occur.
