Forward-Looking Information

This report includes, in addition to historical information, “forward-looking statements”. All statements other than statements of historical fact we make in this report are forward-looking statements. In particular, the statements regarding industry prospects and our future results of operations or financial position are forward-looking statements. Such statements are based on management’s current expectations and are subject to a number of uncertainties and risks that could cause actual results to differ significantly from those described in the forward-looking statements. Factors that may cause such a difference include the following:

the substantial doubt that exists as to our ability to continue as a going concern;
the success of our products depends on a number of factors including market acceptance and our ability to manage the risks associated with product introduction;
local, regional, national and international economic conditions and events, and the impact they may have on us and our customers;
our revenue could be adversely impacted if any of our significant customers reduces its order levels or fails to order during a reporting period; and
other factors, including, but not limited to, those set forth under Item 1A, “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on April 7, 2017, and in other documents we have filed with the SEC.

Statements included in this report are based upon information known to us as of the date that this report is filed with the SEC, and we assume no obligation to update or alter our forward-looking statements made in this report, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as otherwise required by applicable federal securities laws.

Basis of Presentation

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of hopTo Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, “we”, “us”,”our” or the “Company”);wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated upon consolidation. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) applicable to interim financial information and the rules and regulations promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Accordingly, such unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all information and footnote disclosures required in annual financial statements.

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included herein reflect all adjustments, which include only normal, recurring adjustments, that are, in our opinion, necessary to state fairly the results for the periods presented. This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016,2020 which was filed with the SEC on April 7, 2017March 31, 2021 (“20162020 10-K Report”). The interim results presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that may be expected for the full fiscal year ending December 31, 20172021 or any future period.

2. Going Concern and Management’s Liquidity PlansCertain prior year information has been reclassified to conform to current year presentation.

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with GAAP, assuming we will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. Accordingly, the condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the possible inability of the Company to continue as a going concern.

Although for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively, the Company generated net profits of $253,600 and $87,400, respectively, historically we have incurred significant net losses since our inception. At September 30, 2017, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $82,362,400 and a working capital deficit of $2,311,200. We were unable to generate meaningful revenue from our hopTo Work business and our most recent estimation is that revenue from this product is unlikely in any reasonable time frame. We have, however, recently improved our revenue and operating results from our legacy GO-Global business. If this trend continues, subject to our contingent liabilities, we believe we would have sufficient capital resources to fund our GO-Global business (which is our only active business) for at least the next 12 months. However, due to the uncertainty at the current time about this trend and the outcome of our contingent liabilities, we have determined that our cash resources may not be sufficient to fund our business for at least the next 12 months. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on our ability to continue to generate revenue from our legacy GO-Global business and to raise additional capital through the issuance of new equity, debt financing, or from the sale of certain assets to meet short and long-term operating requirements.

If the Company raises additional funds through the issuance of equity or convertible debt securities, the percentage ownership of our current shareholders could be reduced, and such securities might have rights, preferences or privileges senior to the Company’s common stock. Additional financing may not be available upon acceptable terms, or at all. If adequate funds are not available or are not available on acceptable terms, the Company may not be able to take advantage of prospective business endeavors or opportunities, which could significantly and materially restrict our operations. We are continuing to pursue external financing alternatives to improve our working capital position. If the Company is unable to obtain the necessary capital, the Company may have to cease operations.

These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

8

In order to maintain operations, we previously implemented significant expense reductions, including a limited number of employee layoffs, and continue to implement further costs and employment reductions. During the three month period ended September 30, 2016, our CEO and CFO voluntarily agreed with our board of directors to defer 50% of their salary beginning September 1, 2016 until such time as the Company can reasonably pay such compensation upon approval by the board of directors. See Note 12 – Subsequent Events.

Although maintaining our SEC filing status is a significant expense, we currently intend to maintain such status; however, we consider all options to preserve value for shareholders, including potentially suspending or terminating our filing status.

We have worked extensively to explore additional sources of capital including the issuance of new shares, securing debt financing, and the sale of assets including certain software products and patents. Although this process is ongoing and we are in active discussions with multiple parties, there is no guarantee that they will result in transactions that are sufficient to provide the Company with the required liquidity to remove the substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern. See Note 12 – Subsequent Events. We are also in discussions with some parties about the possibility of other strategic transactions although there is no guarantee that these discussions will result in an actual transaction. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that may result from the outcome of the uncertainties set forth above.

3. Significant Accounting Policies

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires usmanagement to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.reported periods. Amounts could materially change in the future. These significant estimates include:include the amountvaluation of stock-based compensation expense;expense, the allowance for doubtful accounts; the estimated lives, valuation, and amortization of intangible assets (including capitalized software);accounts, depreciation of long-lived assets; valuation of warrants; post-employment benefits,assets, and accruals forof liabilities. While we believe that such estimates are fair, actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

Revenue Recognition

We marketThe Company markets and license ourlicenses its products indirectly through channel distributors, value-added resellers, independent software vendors (“ISVs”), value-added resellers (“VARs”) (collectively, “resellers”) and directly tohosting service providers, corporate enterprises, governmental and educational institutions and others. Our product licenses are perpetual. We also separately sell intellectual property licenses, maintenance contracts, which are comprised of license updates and customer service access, as well as other products and services.

Software license revenues are recognized when:

Persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (i.e., when we sign a non-cancellable license agreement wherein the customer acknowledges an unconditional obligation to pay, or upon receipt of the customer’s purchase order), and
Delivery has occurred or services have been rendered and there are no uncertainties surrounding product acceptance (i.e., when title and risk of loss have been transferred to the customer, which occurs when the media containing the licensed program(s) is provided to a common carrier or, in the case of electronic delivery, when the customer is given access to the licensed program(s)), and
The price to the customer is fixed or determinable, as typically evidenced in a signed non-cancellable contract, or a customer’s purchase order, and
Collectability is probable. If collectability is not considered probable,The Company recognizes revenue is recognized when the fee is collected.

9

Revenue recognized on software arrangements involving multiple deliverables is allocated to each deliverable based on vendor-specific objective evidence (“VSOE”) or third party evidence of the fair values of each deliverable; such deliverables include licenses for software products, maintenance, private labeling fees, and customer training. We limit our assessment of VSOE for each deliverable to either the price charged when the same deliverable is sold separately or the price established by management having the relevant authority to do so, for a deliverable not yet sold separately.

If sufficient VSOE of the fair value does not exist so as to permit the allocation of revenue to the various elements of the arrangement, all revenue from the arrangement is deferred until such evidence exists or until all elements are delivered. If VSOE of the fair value does not exist, and the only undelivered element is maintenance, then we recognize revenue on a ratable basis. If VSOE of the fair value of all undelivered elements exists but does not exist for one or more delivered elements, then revenue is recognized using the residual method. Under the residual method, the fair value of the undelivered elements is deferred and the remaining portion of the arrangement fee is recognized as revenue.

Certain resellers (“stocking resellers”) purchase product licenses that they hold in inventory until they are resold to the ultimate end user (an “inventory stocking order”). At the time that a stocking reseller places an inventory stocking order, no product licenses are shipped by us to the stocking reseller; rather, the stocking reseller’s inventory is credited with the number of licenses purchased and the stocking reseller can resell (issue) any number of licenses from their inventory at any time. Upon receipt of an order to issue a license(s) from a stocking reseller’s inventory (a “draw down order”), we will ship the license(s) in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers.” Revenues under ASC 606 are recognized when the draw down order’s instructions. We defer recognitionpromised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services.

The Company sends the receiptlicense key to the customer to download the related software from Company portal. We recognize revenue upon delivery of these licenses.

Revenue from subscription licenses is recognized on a straight-line basisratably over the termsrelated contract period, which generally ranges from one month to one year.

The Company’s product sales by geographic area are presented in Note 5.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid holdings with maturities of three months or less at the leases. Any difference between the straight-line rent amounts and amounts payable under the leases is recordedtime of purchase to be cash equivalents. The Company had cash equivalents of $463,900 primarily in marketable securities as part of deferred rent in current or long-term liabilities, as appropriate. The monthly rent payments due to the Company for the sublease of the office at 1919 S. Bascom Avenue fully offset the rent payments due under the Company’s lease for that space. The monthly rent payments due to the Company for the sublease of the office at 51 East Campbell Avenue will offset approximately 62% of the monthly rent payments due to the landlord under the Company’s lease for that space. During the three-month period ended September 30, 2017, the Company recorded a loss of $62,900 representing the total of the shortfall of monthly rent payments over the life of this sublease. As of September 30, 2017, $24,900 remains on the balance sheet as a lease liability to be amortized over the remaining 12 months of the sublease.2021 (unaudited) and had 0such cash equivalents at December 31, 2020.

Incentives that we received upon entering into the S. Bascom Avenue lease agreement are recognized on a straight-line basis as a reduction to rent over the term of the lease. We record the unamortized portion of these incentives as a part of deferred rent in current or long-term liabilities, as appropriate.

Long-Lived Assets

Long-lived assets are assessed for possible impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts may not be recoverable, whenever we have committed to a plan to dispose of the assets or, at a minimum, annually. Typically, for long-lived assets to be held and used, measurement of an impairment loss is based on the fair value of such assets, with fair value being determined based on appraisals, current market value, comparable sales value, and discounted future cash flows, among other variables, as appropriate. Assets to be held and used (which assets are affected by an impairment loss) are depreciated or amortized at their new carrying amount over their remaining estimated life; assets to be sold or otherwise disposed of are not subject to further depreciation or amortization. During the three month and nine month period ended September 30, 2016 we determined that an impairment of $0 and $15,500, respectively, existed with certain capitalized software development costs associated with our hopTo Work product and recognized that cost as part of cost of revenue. No such impairment charge was recorded during either of the three or nine-month periods ended September 30, 2017.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

We maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts that reflects our best estimate of potentially uncollectible trade receivables. The allowance is based on assessments of the collectability of specific customer accounts and the general aging and size of the accounts receivable. We regularly review the adequacy of our allowance for doubtful accounts by considering such factors as historical experience, credit worthiness, and current economic conditions that may affect a customer’s ability to pay. We specifically reserve for those accounts deemed uncollectible. We also establish, and adjust, a general allowance for doubtful accounts based on our review of the aging and size of our accounts receivable. As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the allowance for doubtful accounts totaled $11,300 and $5,900, respectively.

Diluted income per share reflects per share amounts that would have resulted if diluted potential common stock had been converted to common stock. Dilutive common share equivalents as of September 30, 20172021, representing 242,306 of outstanding in-the-money warrants, were included in the computation of diluted net income per share using the Treasury Stock Method.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued expenses. The carrying amount of these financial instruments approximates fair value due to the nature of the accounts and marketable securities.

Shares of Common Stock Issued

Fair Value

During the three and nine-month periods ending September 30, 2021, the Company did not issue any shares of Financial Instruments

The fair value of our accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their carrying amounts due to the relative short maturities of these items.

The fair value of warrants at issuance and for those recorded as a liability at each reporting date are determined in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820,“Fair Value Measurement,” which establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the assumptions (inputs) to valuation techniques used to price assets or liabilities that are measured at fair value. The hierarchy, as defined below, gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. The guidance for fair value measurements requires that assets, liabilities and certain equity instruments measured at fair value be classified and disclosed in one of the following categories:

Level 1: Defined as observable inputs, such as quoted (unadjusted) prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2: Defined as observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1. This includes quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
Level 3: Defined as unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities. Level 3 assets and liabilities include those whose fair value measurements are determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies or similar valuation techniques, as well as significant management judgment or estimation.

8. Commitments and Contingencies

On February 1, 2014, we relocated our corporate offices to a larger suite within our landlord’s office complex on South Bascom Avenue in Campbell, California. We are currently leasing 10,659 square feet under a five-year lease that, unless renewed, will expire in October 2018.

On August 11, 2015 we entered into a sublease agreement to sublease the entirety of the South Bascom Avenue office space to a third party. The term of the sublease extends from November 1, 2015 through the end of our office lease term for that space in October 2018. The monthly rent payments due to hopTo under this sublease fully offset the monthly rent payments due to the landlord under hopTo’s lease for that space.

On August 24, 2015, we entered into a new office lease for our corporate headquarters at 51 East Campbell Avenue in Campbell, California which was better suited to our California operations and resulted in significant monthly savings. The term of this lease is from October 1, 2015 through September 30, 2018.

On April 28, 2017 we entered into a sublease agreement to sublease the entirety of the leased space at 51 East Campbell Avenue to a third party. The term of the sublease began on June 1, 2017 and extends through the end of our office lease term for that space. The monthly rent payments due to hopTo will offset approximately 62% of the monthly rent payments due to the landlord under hopTo’s lease for that space. (See Deferred Rent section of Note 3.)

The following table sets forth the net minimum lease payments we will be required to make throughout the remainder of these leases:

  Lease
Payments
  Sublease Receipts  Total 
Remainder of 2017 $150,200  $(179,900) $(29,700)
2018  475,400   (420,800)  54,600 
  $625,600  $(600,700) $24,900 

During the three-month period ended September 30, 2016, our CEO and CFO voluntarily agreed with our board of directors to defer 50% of their salary beginning September 1, 2016 until such time as the Company can reasonably pay such compensation upon approval by the board of directors. The deferred salaries are recorded as a component of accounts payable and accrued expenses on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. See Note 12 – Subsequent Events.

During the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2017, respectively, we reported non-cash expense of $0 and $284,000, respectively, related to potential liquidated damages resulting from delays in filing registration statements for shares and shares underlying warrants for certain of the private placements that the Company closed in prior periods. There were no such expenses recorded in the comparable prior year period. We are in the process of seeking waivers from shareholders for such liquidated damages. The potential liquidated damages is reported as other current liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheet and as a component of general and administrative expense on the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

9. Supplemental Disclosure of Cash Flow Information

We disbursed $200 and $800 for the payment of interest expense during the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

We disbursed $2,800 and $2,300 for the payment of foreign income taxes associated with the operation of our Israeli subsidiary during the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

10. Earnings (Loss) Per Share

Earnings or loss per share is calculated by dividing the net income or loss for the period by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings or loss per share (“Diluted EPS”) is calculated by dividing the net income or loss for the period by the total of the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period plus the effects of any dilutive securities. Diluted EPS considers the impact of potentially dilutive securities except in periods in which there is a loss because the inclusion of such potential shares of common stock would have an anti-dilutive effect. During all periods presented in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, potentially dilutive securities included shares of common stock potentially issuable upon exercise of stock options, release of unvested restricted stock awards and exercise of warrants. Diluted EPS excludes the impact of potential issuance of shares of common stock related to our stock options in periods in which the exercise price of the stock option is greater than the average market price of our common stock during such periods.

For the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2017 and for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2016, 1,375,509 and 1,412,507 shares of common stock equivalents, respectively, were excluded from the computation of dilutive loss per share since their effect would be anti-dilutive.

11. Segment Information

Revenue by country for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 was as follows:

12. Subsequent Events

On October 10, 2017, the Company and salesforce.com entered into a Patent Purchase Agreement (effective as of October 5, 2017), pursuant to which the Company sold seven of its patents for an aggregate consideration of $400,000, and also received, subject to various terms, conditions and limitations, a license back of those patents. The patents sold were U.S. Patent numbers: 9395826, 9398111, 9419848, 8745280, 8892782, 8738814 and 8856907.

On October 25, 2017, the board of directors of the Company determined that the financial status of the Company had improved from the financial status of the Company during the three month period ended September 30, 2016, when the Company’s CEO and CFO voluntarily agreed with the board of directors to defer 50% of their salary beginning September 1, 2016 until such time as the Company could reasonably pay such compensation upon approval by the board of directors. Accordingly, the board of directors determined that it was reasonable for the Company to pay 50% of this deferred salary and such payments were made to the CFO and CEO on October 30, 2017.

Factors that may cause such a difference include the following:

We continue to actively operate our GO-Global business and we are currently evaluating ways to enhance its performance.

Other than recent sales of selected patents (see Note 12 to our Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements), we continue to own all hopTo-related and GO-Global related intellectual property including source-code, related patents, and the relevant trademarks. We continue to believe that we may be able to extract value from these assets and are currently working to do so at this time. For detailed information on the hopTo products and technologies, please refer to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016,

Although thereIntroduction

hopTo, Inc., through its wholly owned subsidiary GraphOn Corporation (collectively, “we”, “us,” “our” or the “Company”), is no certainty as to timing or success of these efforts to extract value from these assets, and stockholders should not place any significant reliance on the outcome of such efforts unless and until definitive agreements are reached, this may include additional sale of certain of our hopTo software products, the sale of patents, and the monetization of the GO-Global business or some combinations of these transactions. (See Notes 2 and 12 to our Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements).

The following description of our business and business opportunities is expressly qualified by the preceding statement and the going concern disclosure in Note 2 to our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Introduction

We are developersa developer of application publishing software which includes application virtualization software and cloud computing software for multiple computer operating systems including Windows, UNIX and several Linux-based variants. Our application publishing software solutions are sold under the brand name GO-Global, which is our sole revenue source at this time.source. GO-Global is an application access solution for use and/or resale by independent software vendors (“ISVs”), hosting service providers, corporate enterprises, governmental and educational institutions, and others who wish to take advantage of cross-platform remote access and Web-enabled access to their existing software applications, as well as those who are deploying secure, private cloud environments.

Since 2012 we have also been developing several products in the field of software productivity for mobile devices such as tablets and smartphones, which have been marketed under the hopTo brand.

The hopTo products were originally marketed to consumers and were later also marketed to small and medium sized businesses and enterprise level customers under the name hopTo Work. hopTo Work allows customers to instantly transform their legacy applications to become touch friendly on modern mobile devices. During 2015 and 2016 we also worked to integrate hopTo Work with certain software products offered by Citrix Systems.

Over the years, we have also made significant investments in intellectual property (“IP”). We have filed many patents designed to protect the new technologies embedded in hopTo.

Corporate Background

We are a Delaware corporation, founded in May 1996. Our headquarters are located at 6 Loudon Road, Suite 200, Concord, New Hampshire, 03301 and our phone number is 1-800-472-7466. Our phone number for local and international calls is 408-688-2674. Additionally, we have remote employees located in various states, as well as internationally in the United Kingdom and Israel. Our corporate Internet Website is http://www.hopto.com. The information on our website is not part of this quarterly report.

Our Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, Current Reports on Form 8-K and any amendments to such reports filed with or furnished to the SEC under sections 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 are made available free of charge on our corporate Internet Website:www.hopto.com,, our our home page, click “Financial Reporting”) as soon as reasonably practicable after such reports are electronically filed with or furnished to the SEC.

Our Intellectual Property

We believe that intellectual property (IP) is a business tool that potentially maximizes our competitive advantages and product differentiation, grows revenue opportunities, encourages collaboration with key business partners, and protects our long-term growth opportunities. Strategic IP development is therefore a critical component of our overall business strategy. It is a business function that consistently interacts with our research and development, product development, and marketing initiatives to generate further value from those operations.

We rely primarily on trade secret protection, copyright law, confidentiality, and proprietary information agreements to protect our proprietary technology and registered trademarks. Despite our precautions, it may be possible for unauthorized third parties to copy portions of our products, or to obtain information we regard as proprietary. The loss of any material trade secret, trademark, trade name or copyright could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition. We intend to defend our proprietary technology rights; however, we cannot give any assurance that our efforts to protect our proprietary technology rights will be successful.

We also currently hold rights to patents. We occasionally file patent applications to protect innovations arising from our research, development and design.

We do not believe our products infringe on the rights of any third parties, but we can give no assurance that third parties will not assert infringement claims against us in the future, or that any such assertion will not result in costly litigation or require us to obtain a license to proprietary technology rights of such parties.

ipCapital Group, Inc.

On October 11, 2011, we engaged ipCapital Group, Inc., or ipCapital, an affiliate of John Cronin, who is one of our directors, to assist us in the execution of our strategic decision to significantly strengthen, grow and commercially exploit our intellectual property assets. Our engagement agreement with ipCapital, which has been amended three times, affords us the right to request ipCapital to perform a number of diverse services, employing its proprietary processes and methodologies, to facilitate our ability to identify and extract from our current intellectual property base new inventions, potential patent applications, and marketing and licensing opportunities.

As a result of ipCapital’s work under the engagement agreement, as amended, as of November 14, 2017, 173 patent applications have been filed. Of these 173 applications, 53 patents have been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (“USPTO”). Due to financial constraints on our operations, we have suspended patent prosecution activity other than to pay issuance fees for patents already approved by USPTO. As of November 14, 2017 there are no patent applications that remain pending with the USPTO. We do not expect to file more applications in 2017.

Our GO-Global Software Products

Our GO-Global product offerings, which currently are our only revenue source, can be categorized into product families as follows:

GO-Global for Windows: Allows access to Windows-based applications from remote locations and a variety of connections, including the Internet and dial-up connections. The Windows applications run on a central computer server along with GO-Global Windows Host software. This allows the applications to be accessed remotely via GO-Global Client software, or a Web browser, over many types of data connections, regardless of the bandwidth or operating system. Web-enabling is achieved without modifying the underlying application’s code or requiring costly add-ons.
GO-Global for UNIX: Allows access to UNIX and Linux-based applications from remote locations and a variety of connections, including the Internet and dial-up connections. The UNIX/Linux applications run on a central computer server along with the GO-Global for UNIX Host software. This allows the applications to be accessed and run remotely via GO-Global Client software or a Web browser without having to modify the application’s code or requiring costly add-ons.
GO-Global Client: We offer a range of GO-Global Client software that allows remote application access from a wide variety of local, remote and mobile platforms, including Windows, Linux, UNIX, Apple OS X and iOS, and Google Android. We plan to continue to develop GO-Global Client software for new portable and mobile devices.

We intend to continue to operate Go-Global, as it remains a viable stand-alone business and our sole revenue source at this time.

Critical Accounting Policies

We believe that several accounting policies are important to understanding our historical and future performance. We refer to these policies as “critical” because these specific areas require us to make judgments and estimates about matters that are uncertain at the time when we make the estimates. Actual results may differ from these estimates. For a summary of our critical accounting policies, please refer to our 20162020 Form 10-K Report Management’s Discussion ad Analysis of Operations and Note 32 to our Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidatedunaudited consolidated financial Statements included under Item 1 – Financial Statements.Statements in this Form 10-Q.

Revenues

Our software revenue is entirely related to our GO-Global product line, and historically has been primarily derived from product licensing fees and service fees from maintenance contracts. The majority of this revenue has been earned, and continues to be earned, from a limited number of significantdirect customers mostand through a limited number of whom are resellers. Many of our resellers (a “stocking reseller”) purchase software licenses that they hold in inventory until they are resold to the ultimate end user. We defer recognition of revenue from these sales (on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet under the caption “Deferred Revenue”) until the stocking reseller sells the underlying software licenses to the ultimate end user. Consequently, if any of our significant stocking resellers materially change the rate at which they resell our software licenses to the ultimate end user, our software licenses revenue could be materially impacted.

When a software license is sold directly to an end user by us, or by one of our resellers, who does not stock licenses into inventory, revenue is recognized immediately upon shipment,delivery of the license key, assuming all other criteria for revenue recognition are met. Consequently, if any significant end user customer substantially changes its order level, or fails to order during the reporting period, whether the order is placed directly with us or through one of our non-stocking resellers, our software licenses revenue could be materially impacted.

Almost all stocking resellers maintain inventoriesThe following is a summary of our Windows products; few stocking resellers maintain inventories of our UNIX products.

Software Licenses

Windows software licenses revenue decreased by $37,100 or 19.7% to higher license purchases from certain of our OEM partners and stocking resellers.

Software license revenue from our UNIX/Linux products increased$151,700 during the three-month periodthree months ended September 30, 2017, as compared with2021, from $188,800 for the same period of the prior year, primarilyin 2020. The decrease was due to higherlower revenue from certain of our telecommunications customers. standard order licenses in the period.

Software licenses revenue from our UNIX/Linux products increased duringdecreased by $28,700 or 64.3% to $15,900 for the nine-month periodthree months ended September 30, 2017, as compared with2021 from $44,600 for the same periods of 2020. The decrease was primarily due to lower revenue standard order licenses.

Software Service Fees

Service fees attributable to our Windows product service increased by $98,500 or 16.8% to $684,500 during three months ended September 30, 2021, from $586,000 for the same period of the prior year,in 2020. The increase was primarily due to higher revenues from subscription license orders and an increase in revenue recognized from certain U.S. government customers.deferred maintenance.

We expect aggregate GO-Global software license revenue for both Windows and UNIX in 2017 to be approximately the same as the license revenue levels for 2016.

20

Software Service Fees

The decrease in software service fees revenue attributable to our Windows products, during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2017, as compared to the same period of the prior year, was primarily due to the timing of customer renewals of maintenance contacts.

The decrease in service fees revenue attributable to our UNIX products fordecreased by $8,000 or 14.9% to $45,600 during the three and nine-month periodsmonths ended September 30, 2017, as compared with2021, from $53,600 for the same period of the prior year,in 2020. The decrease was primarily the result of the lower levelexpiration of our UNIX product sales during prior yearsa long-term maintenance contract.

Other

Other revenue consists of private labeling fees, professional services, and a resultant decrease in maintenance contract renewals. The majority of this decrease was attributable to our European telecommunications customers.

Due to the trends mentioned above we expect that software service fees for 2017 will be modestly lower than those for 2016.

Other

The increase in other non-recurring revenues. Other revenue increased by $100 or 0.5% for the three and nine-month periodsmonths ended September 30, 2017, as2021, compared withto the same period in 2020.

Costs of Revenue

CostsCost of revenue areis comprised primarily of software service costs, which represent the costs of customer service, andservice. Also included in cost of revenue are software product costs, which are primarily comprised of the amortization of capitalized software development costs and costs associated with licenses forto third party software included in our product offerings.offerings, and the required import tax withholdings from Brazil resellers. We incur no significant shipping or packaging costs as virtually all of our deliveries are made via electronic means over the Internet.

Under GAAP, development costs for new product development, after technological feasibility is established, are recorded as “capitalized software” on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.

Amortization of capitalized software development costs was $0 and $200 during the three-month periods ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, and $0 and $5,300 during the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

The decrease was due to import tax withholdings associated with lower revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

The increase in software service costsfrom Brazil resellers for the three-month period ended September 30, 2017 was due to a reclassification of $15,500 of customer supports costs that was allocated from Selling and Marketing expense to software service costs until three-month period ended December 31, 2016, partially offset by a decrease of $4,600 from lower customer support costs, as compared to the same periods of the prior year. The decrease in software service costs in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2017, as compared with the same periods of the prior year was primarily due to lower customer support costs associated with GoGlobal. Upon release of the commercial versions of hopTo and hopTo Work, we began charging costs associated with supporting the products to costs of revenue. We expect software service costs for 2017 to be lower than those for 2016 as we have been able to reduce headcount costs in this area due to a lower level of effort required.2021.

The decreases in software product costs for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2017, as compared with the same periods of the prior year, was almost entirely due to decreased amortization of capitalized software development costs. We expect that software costs of revenue for 2017 will be lower than 2016 levels.

Selling and Marketing Expenses

Selling and marketing expenses primarily consistconsisted of employee, costs, outside services advertising, public relations and travel and entertainment expense.expenses.

Selling and marketing expenses increased by $11,700, or 8.3%, to $152,000 for the three-month periodthree months ended September 30, 2017 decreased by $6,500, or 6.9%, to $87,400,2021 from $93,900 for the same period of 2016, which represented approximately 8.5% and 10.5% of revenue during these periods, respectively. Selling and marketing expenses for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2017 decreased by $405,200 or 61.0% to $259,400 from $664,600$140,300 for the same period in 2016, which2020. Selling and marketing expenses represented approximately 8.8%16.5% and 23.2%15.7% of total revenue during those periods,for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

The decreasesincrease in selling and marketing expenses was due to a combination of lower headcount and a decrease in headcount and promotional costs associated with hopTo Work as we have suspended allincreased spending on sales and marketing activity for that product.related initiatives.

15

 

We expect to maintain our sales and marketing efforts in 2017 for anticipated GO-Global releases at a level consistent with the second half of 2016; accordingly, we expect 2017 sales and marketing expenses to be lower than 2016.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses primarily consist of employee costs, depreciation and amortization, legal, accounting, other professional services (including those related to our patents), rent, travel and entertainment and insurance. Certain costs associated with being a publicly held corporation are also included in general and administrative expenses, as well as bad debtsdebt expense.

General and administrative expenses decreased by $614,900,$33,700, or 74.8%17.2%, to $206,700,$162,400 for the three-month periodthree months ended September 30, 2017,2021 from $821,600$196,100 for the same period of 2016, which represented approximately 20.1% and 91.4% of revenue during these periods, respectively.

in 2020. General and administrative expenses decreased by $845,700, or 40%, to $1,268,900represented approximately 17.7% and 21.9% of total revenue for the nine-month periodthree months ended September 30, 2017, from $2,114,600 for the same period of 2016, which represented approximately 43.3%2021 and 73.8% of revenue during these periods,2020, respectively.

The decreasesdecrease in general and administrative expense in the three-month and nine-month period ended September 30, 2017, as compared with the same periods of the prior year, werewas primarily due to a combination of lower administrative salary expense associated with part-time status of our Chief Financial Officer effective April 1, 2017legal fees and the resignation of our Chief Executive Officer in August 2017, combined with the elimination of accruals for potential liquidated damages that had been made in the prior year periods due to delays in filing registration statements for shares and shares underlying warrants for certain of the private placements that the Company closed in prior periods. There were no such liquidated damages accruals recorded in the comparable current year periods as the Company filed the necessary registration statement in May 2017 eliminating the further need for such accruals. These lower expenses were also due to a combination of decreased rent expense associated with lower net operating leases, decreased legal expenses associated with activity related to our patents, lower stock compensation expense associated with the termination of headcount and other lower costs associated with investor relations, and decreased outside services expense.patent maintenance fees.

22

In 2017, we intend to continue cost controls and therefore expect that our 2017 general and administrative costs will be lower than those for 2016.

Research and Development Expenses

Research and development expenses consist primarily of employee costs, payments to contract programmers, software subscriptions, travel and entertainment for all our engineers, and all rent for our leased engineering facilities.

Research and development expenses decreased by $107,700,$1,400, or 21.9%,0.4% to $383,800, for$354,300for the three-month periodthree months ended September 30, 2017,2021 from $491,500$355,700 for the same period of 2016, whichin 2020. This represented approximately 37.4%38.5% and 54.7%39.8% of total revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Other Income

Other income increased by $146,800 for the three months ended September 30, 2021, compared to the same periods in 2020. The increase was primarily related the unrealized gain from marketable securities for the three months ended September 30,2021.

Software Licenses

Windows software licenses revenue decreased by $82,800 or 14.1% to $502,900 during the nine months ended September 30, 2021, from $585,700 for the same period in 2020. The decrease for the nine months ended September 30,2021 was due to lower revenue from standard license orders following elevated license order activity in the prior year period related to the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic.

16

Software licenses revenue from our UNIX/Linux products decreased by $60,600 or 60.9% to $38,900 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 from $99,500 for the same periods of 2020. The decrease was primarily due to lower revenue from standard order licenses as we continue to focus primarily on our Windows products.

Software Service Fees

Service fees attributable to our Windows product service increased by $282,300 or 17.1% to $1,932,400 during the nine months ended September 30, 2021, from $1,650,100 for the same period in 2020. The increase was primarily due to higher revenue in Windows subscription license orders and higher revenue recognized deferred maintenance.

Service fees revenue attributable to our UNIX products decreased by $35,700 or 20.4% to $139,700 during the nine months ended September 30, 2021, from $175,400 for the same period in 2020. The decrease was primarily the result of an expiration of certain long-term maintenance contracts.

Other

Other revenue consists of private labeling fees, professional services, and other non-recurring revenues. Other revenue decreased by $229,800 or 78.0% for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, compared to the same period in 2020. The primary decrease was related to revenue recognized from a one-time, non-recurring a license agreement with an existing customer for the use of our license.

Cost of Revenues

Cost of revenue is comprised primarily of software service costs, which represent the costs of customer service. Also included in cost of revenue are software product costs, which are primarily comprised of the amortization of capitalized software development costs and costs associated with licenses to third party software included in our product offerings, and the required import tax withholdings from Brazil resellers. We incur no significant shipping or packaging costs as virtually all of our deliveries are made via electronic means over the Internet.

Cost of revenue for these periods, respectively.

Research and development expenses decreasedthe nine months ended September 30, 2021 increased by $737,000,$7,800, or 39.6%6.6%, to $1,123,900,$125,800 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 from $118,000 for the same period in 2020. Cost of revenue represented 4.7% and 4.2% of total revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The primarily increase was due to increase import tax withholdings associated with higher revenue from Brazil resellers for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2017, from $1,860,900 which represented approximately 38.3%2021.

Selling and 65.0%Marketing Expenses

Selling and marketing expenses primarily consisted of revenueemployee, outside services and travel and entertainment expenses.

Selling and marketing expenses increased by $51,900, or 13.1%, to $448,100 for these periods, respectively.

The decrease in research and development expense is primarily due to lower employee costs associated with lower headcount primarily due to the suspension of efforts on our hopTo Work products, lower payments to contract programmers, and lower operating rent expense.

In 2017, we expect to maintain a level of research and development resource lower than the second half of 2016. We therefore expect 2017 research and development expenses, net of capitalized software developments costs, to be lower than 2016 levels.

Change in Fair Value of Warrants Liability

During the three-month periods and nine-months periodnine months ended September 30, 2017, we reported no income or expense2021 from $396,200 for the same period in 2020. Selling and marketing expenses represented approximately 16.7% and 14.1% of total revenue for the nine months ended September 2021 and 2020, respectively. The increase in selling and marketing expenses was due to the change in fair value of our warrants liability as the applicable warrants expired during Septemberan increase spend on sales and October of 2016. During the same periods of the prior year, we reported non-cash income of $54,400 and $29,300, respectively. Such changes resulted from our liability warrants which expired in the fourth quarter of 2016.marketing initiatives.

Net Profit / (Loss)

Based on the foregoing, we reported net profit of $253,600 and a net loss of $462,000 for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 respectively. Additionally, we reported net profit of $87,400 and a net loss of $1,874,500 for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our reported net profit for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2017 of $87,400 included the following non-cash items: depreciation and amortization of $42,200 which was primarily related to depreciation of fixed assets; loss of $60,400 from disposal of fixed assets; loss of $62,900 from sublease; stock-based compensation expense of $14,500; interest expense of $200 from capital lease equipment.

For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2017, we disposed of some capitalized equipment at a loss of $60,400 which had net book value of $61,300. We sold some non-capitalized equipment for $900.

General and Administrative Expenses

For the nine-month period ended September 30,2017, we subleased

General and administrative expenses primarily consist of employee costs, legal, accounting, board fees, other professional services (including those related to our East Campbell office atpatents), rent, travel and entertainment and insurance. Certain costs associated with being a loss of $62,900 with the remaining $46,800 lease amount duepublicly held corporation are also included in general and administrative expenses, as well as bad debt expense.

General and administrative expenses decreased by $87,800, or 13.2%, to the landlord.

See the Update on HopTo Plans at the beginning of this section for a discussion of our future plans and option we are considering.

Although$576,800 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively,2021 from $664,600 for the Company generated net profitssame period in 2020. General and administrative expenses represented approximately 21.5% and 23.7% of $253,400 and $87,400, respectively, historically we have incurred significant net losses since our inception. Attotal revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $82,362,4002021 and a working capital deficit of $2,311,200. We were unable to generate meaningful revenue from our hopTo Work business2020, respectively. The decrease in general and our most recent estimation is that revenue from this product is unlikely in any reasonable time frame. We have, however, recently improved our revenue and operating results from our legacy GO-Global business. If this trend continues, subject to our contingent liabilities, we believe we would have sufficient capital resources to fund our GO-Global business (which is our only active business) for at least the next 12 months. However,administrative expense was due to no board member service fees being incurred versus the uncertainty atprior year and lower patent maintenance fees, partially offset by higher corporate legal and payroll related fees.

Research and Development Expenses

Research and development expenses consist primarily of employee costs, payments to contract programmers, software subscriptions, travel and entertainment for our engineers, and all rent for our leased engineering facilities.

Research and development expenses increased by $5,300, or 0.5% to $1,081,900 for the current time about this trendnine months ended September 30, 2021 from $1,076,600 for the same period in 2020. This represented approximately 40.4% and 38.4% of total revenue for the outcome of our contingent liabilities, we have determined that our cash resources may not be sufficientnine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Other Income

Other income increased by $396,300 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, compare to fund our business for at least the next 12 months. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on our ability to continue to generate revenue from our legacy GO-Global business and to raise additional capital through the issuance of new equity, debt financing, or fromsame periods in 2020 was primarily related the sale of certain assets to meet shortpatents and long-term operating requirements.unrealized gain of marketable securities.

If the Company raises additional funds through the issuance of equity or convertible debt securities, the percentage ownership of our current shareholders could be reduced, and such securities might have rights, preferences or privileges senior to the Company’s common stock. Additional financing may not be available upon acceptable terms, or at all. If adequate funds are not available or are not available on acceptable terms, the Company may not be able to take advantage of prospective business endeavors or opportunities, which could significantly and materially restrict our operations. We are continuing to pursue external financing alternatives to improve our working capital position. If the Company is unable to obtain the necessary capital, the Company may have to cease operations.

These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. (See Note 2 to our Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements).

In order to maintain operations, we previously implemented significant expense reductions, including a limited number of employee layoffs, and have decided to implement further cost cuts and employment reductions. During the three month period ended September 30, 2016, our CEO and CFO voluntarily agreed with our board of directors to defer 50% of their salary beginning September 1, 2016 until such time as the Company can reasonably pay such compensation upon approval by the board of directors. (See Note 12 to our Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements).

Although maintaining our SEC filing status is a significant expense, we currently intend to maintain such status; however, we consider all options to preserve value for shareholders, including potentially suspending or terminating our filing status.

We have worked extensively to explore additional sources of capital including the issuance of new shares, securing debt financing, and the sale of assets including certain of our software products and patents. Although this process is ongoing and we are in active discussions with multiple parties, there is no guarantee that they will result in transactions that are sufficient to provide the Company with the required liquidity to remove the substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern. See Note 12 – Subsequent Events. We are also in discussions with some parties about the possibility of other strategic transactions although there is no guarantee that these discussions will result in an actual transaction.

Cash

As of September 30, 2017, our cash balance was $551,300, as compared with $546,200 as of December 31, 2016, an increase of $5,100, or 0.9%. The slight increase primarily resulted from the collection of accounts receivable partially offset by the cash used in our operations.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Accounts Receivable, net

At September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, we reported accounts receivable, net, of $353,300 and $355,300, respectively. Such amounts were reported net of the allowance for doubtful accounts, which allowances totaled $4,400 and $7,700 at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. The slight decrease in accounts receivable, net, was mainly due to timing of sales and collections during the three-month period ended September 30, 2017, as compared with the three-month period ended December 31, 2016. We collect the significant majority of our quarter-end accounts receivable during the subsequent quarter; accordingly, increases or decreases in accounts receivable from one period to the next tends to be indicative of the trend in our sales from one period to the next. From time to time, we could have individually significant accounts receivable balances due us from one or more of our significant customers. If the financial condition of any of these significant customers should deteriorate, our operating results could be materially affected.

Working Capital

As of September 30, 2017,2021, we had current assetscash of $931,400$4,560,000 and current liabilities of $3,242,600, which netted toa working capital deficitposition of $2,311,200. Included$4,124,300 as compared to cash of $4,375,300 and a working capital position of 3,281,600 at December 31, 2020. The increase in current liabilitiescash as of September 30, 2021 was primarily the current portionresult of cash provided by operations during the period.

The following is a summary of our cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities for the six months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020.

  For the Nine Months Ended 
  September 30,  September 30,

Cash flows used by investing activities $(24,100) $- 
Cash flows provided by financing activities $-  $2,480,400 

Net cash flows provided by operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 amounted to $208,800, compared to cash flows provided by operating activities of $226,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The decrease in cash flows provided by operating activities is primarily due the elimination of contributed services and gain on sale of patents and unrealized gain from marketable securities, lower in deferred revenue recognition, offset by to the result of $1,579,500higher net income related to a one-time settlement income from a particular during the prior year for the same periods.

Net cash flows used by investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 amount to $24,100 due to net, purchase of marketable securities investments and property equipment, offset by cash receipt from sale of patents. The Company had no cash related to investing activities for the same periods of prior year.

We did not have cash flow from financing activities for the nine months ended September 30,2021. Net cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 amounted to $2,480,400. We received gross proceeds of $2,599,800 from the Rights Offering and paid $119,400 of issuance costs for the nine months ended September 30, 2020.

The coronavirus pandemic could adversely affect our results of operations.

The recent coronavirus pandemic throughout the United States and the world has resulted in the United States and other countries halting or sharply curtailing the movement of people, goods and services. All of this has caused extended shutdowns of businesses and the prolonged economic impact remains uncertain. At this point, we believe the conditions will have a material adverse effect on our business but given the rapidly changing developments we cannot accurately predict what effects these conditions will have on our business, which will depend on, among other factors, the ultimate geographic spread of the virus, the duration of the outbreak and travel restrictions and business closures imposed by the United States and various other governments.
