CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the documents incorporated into this report by reference contain forward-looking statements. In addition, from time to time we may make additional forward-looking statements in presentations, at conferences, in press releases, in other reports and filings and otherwise. Forward-looking statements are all statements other than statements of historical facts, including statements that refer to plans, intentions, objectives, goals, targets, strategies, hopes, beliefs, projections, prospects, expectations or other characterizations of future events or performance, and assumptions underlying the foregoing. The words “may,” “could,” “should,” “would,” “will,” “project,” “intend,” “continue,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “forecast,” “expect,” “plan,” “potential,” “opportunity,” “scheduled,” “goal,” “target,” and “future,” variations of such words, and other comparable terminology and similar expressions and references to future periods are often, but not always, used to identify forward-looking statements. Examples of forward-looking statements include, among other things, statements about the following:

 

 the effects on our business, financial condition, and results of operations of current and future economic, business, market and regulatory conditions, including the current global inflation, economic downturn, and other economic and market conditions, and their effects on our customers and their capital spending and ability to finance purchases of our products, services, technologies and systems;
   
 our prospects, including our future business, revenues, recurring revenues, expenses, net income, earnings per share, margins, profitability, cash flow, cash position, liquidity, financial condition and results of operations, backlog of orders and revenue, our targeted growth rate, our goals for future revenues and earnings, and our expectations about realizing the revenues in our backlog and in our sales pipeline;
   
 our expectation that the shift from an offline to online world will continue to benefit our business;
   
 our ability to integrate our recent acquisitions and any future acquisitions, grow their businesses and obtain the expected financial and operational benefits from those businesses;
   
 the effects of fluctuations in sales on our business, revenues, expenses, net income, earnings per share, margins, profitability, cash flow, capital expenditures, liquidity, financial condition and results of operations;
   
 our products, services, technologies and systems, including their quality and performance in absolute terms and as compared to competitive alternatives, their benefits to our customers and their ability to meet our customers’ requirements, and our ability to successfully develop and market new products, services, technologies and systems;
   
 our markets, including our market position and our market share;
   
 our ability to successfully develop, operate, grow and diversify our operations and businesses;
   
 our business plans, strategies, goals and objectives, and our ability to successfully achieve them;
   
 the sufficiency of our capital resources, including our cash and cash equivalents, funds generated from operations, availability credit and financing arrangements and other capital resources, to meet our future working capital, capital expenditure, lease and debt service and business growth needs;
   
 the value of our assets and businesses, including the revenues, profits and cash flow they are capable of delivering in the future;
   
 the amount and timing of revenue recognition from customer contracts with commitments for performance obligations, including our estimate of the remaining amount of commitments and when we expect to recognize revenues;
   
 industry trends and customer preferences and the demand for our products, services, technologies and systems; and
   
 the nature and intensity of our competition, and our ability to successfully compete in our markets.

 

3

Any forward-looking statements we make are based on our current plans, intentions, objectives, strategies, projections and expectations, as well as assumptions made by and information currently available to management. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance or events, but are subject to and qualified by substantial risks, uncertainties and other factors, which are difficult to predict and are often beyond our control. Forward-looking statements will be affected by assumptions and expectations we might make that do not materialize or that prove to be incorrect and by known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed, anticipated or implied by such forward-looking statements. These risks, uncertainties and other factors include, but are not limited to, those described in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, filed on March 27, 2023, as well as other risks, uncertainties and factors discussed elsewhere in this Quarterly Report, in documents that we include as exhibits to or incorporate by reference in this report, and in other reports and documents we from time to time file with or furnish to the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). In light of these risks and uncertainties, you are cautioned not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements that we make.

 

Any forward-looking statements contained in this report speak only as of the date of this report, and any other forward-looking statements we make from time to time in the future speak only as of the date they are made. We undertake no duty or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statement or to publicly disclose any update or revision for any reason, whether as a result of changes in our expectations or the underlying assumptions, the receipt of new information, the occurrence of future or unanticipated events, circumstances or conditions or otherwise.

 

As used in this Quarterly Report, unless the context indicates otherwise:

 

 the terms “Intellinetics,” “Company,” “the company” “us,” “we,” “our,” and similar terms refer to Intellinetics, Inc., a Nevada corporation, and its subsidiaries;
 “Intellinetics Ohio” refers to Intellinetics, Inc., an Ohio corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Intellinetics; and
 “Graphic Sciences” refers to Graphic Sciences, Inc., a Michigan corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Intellinetics.

INTELLINETICS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

 

1. Business Organization and Nature of Operations

 

Intellinetics, Inc., formerly known as GlobalWise Investments, Inc., is a Nevada corporation incorporated in 1997, with two wholly-owned subsidiaries: Intellinetics, Inc., an Ohio corporation (“Intellinetics Ohio”), and Graphic Sciences, Inc., a Michigan corporation (“Graphic Sciences”). Intellinetics Ohio was incorporated in 1996, and on February 10, 2012, Intellinetics Ohio became our sole operating subsidiary as a result of a reverse merger and recapitalization. On March 2, 2020, we purchased all the outstanding capital stock of Graphic Sciences.

 

Our digital transformation products and services are provided through two reporting segments: Document Management and Document Conversion. Our Document Management segment, which includes the Yellow Folder, LLC (“Yellow Folder”) asset acquisition in April 2022 and the CEO Imaging Systems, Inc. (“CEO Image”) asset acquisition in April 2020, consists primarily of solutions involving our software platform, allowing customers to capture and manage their documents across operations such as scanned hard-copy documents and digital documents including those from Microsoft Office 365, digital images, audio, video and emails. Our Document Conversion segment, which includes and primarily consists of the Graphic Sciences acquisition, provides assistance to customers as a part of their overall document strategy to convert documents from one medium to another, predominantly paper to digital, including migration to our software solutions, as well as long-term storage and retrieval services. Our solutions create value for customers by making it easy to connect business-critical documents to the people who need them by making those documents easy to find and access, while also being secure and compliant with the customers’ audit requirements. Solutions are sold both directly to end-users and through resellers.

 

2. Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”).

 

The financial statements presented in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are unaudited. However, in the opinion of management, these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented in conformity with GAAP applicable to interim periods. The financial data and other financial information disclosed in these notes to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are also unaudited. As such, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to applicable rules and regulations thereunder.

 

Operating results for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full fiscal year ending December 31, 2023 or any other future period.

 

These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the related notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 filed with the SEC filed on March 27, 2023.

 

3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The condensed consolidated financial statements accompanying these notes include the accounts of Intellinetics and the accounts of all its subsidiaries in which it holds a controlling interest. Under GAAP, consolidation is generally required for investments of more than 50%50% of the outstanding voting stock of an investee, except when control is not held by the majority owner. We have two subsidiaries: Intellinetics Ohio and Graphic Sciences. We consider the criteria established under Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) 810, “Consolidations” in the consolidation process. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Concentrations of Credit Risk

 

We maintain our cash with high credit quality financial institutions. At times, our cash and cash equivalents may be uninsured or in deposit accounts that exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insurance limit.

We do not generally require collateral or other security to support customer receivables; however, we may require customers to provide retainers, up-front deposits or irrevocable letters-of-credit when considered necessary to mitigate credit risks. We have established an allowance forThe Company recognizes current estimated credit losses (“CECL”) for accounts receivable and accounts receivable-unbilled. The CECL for trade receivables are estimated based upon facts surroundingon the trade receivable aging category, credit risk of specific customers, past collection history, and management’s evaluation of accounts receivable. Provisions for CECL are classified within selling, general and administrative costs.

Upon the adoption of FASB ASU No. 2016-13 (CECL model) effective January 1, 2023, Intellinetics, Inc. has revised its methodology for estimating expected credit losses on financial instruments, specifically trade receivables. This new model requires the recognition of lifetime expected credit losses at each reporting date, considering past events, current conditions, and reasonable forecasts. In assessing the credit quality of our portfolio, management utilizes a provision matrix that classifies trade receivables by customer type and age of receivable. Government and education sector receivables carry a low risk, while a higher risk is attributed to the remaining receivables as their aging progresses. For receivables with questionable collectability, a specific reserve is assigned. The estimated credit losses are a reflection of these factors, with the matrix applying percentages to the receivables based on their risk profile, adjusted for current and expected future collections.conditions.

During the reporting period, the estimate of credit losses may change due to several factors including payment patterns of customers, changes in customer creditworthiness, and broader economic conditions. Such changes are captured in the financial statements to ensure they accurately reflect the company’s assessment of credit risk and expected losses at the end of each reporting period. Credit losses have been within management’s expectations. At March 31,September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, our allowance for credit losses was $107,341114,235 and $88,331, respectively.

Revenue Recognition

 

We categorize revenue as software, software as a service, software maintenance services, professional services, and storage and retrieval services. We earnChanges in the majority of our revenue from the sale of professional services, followed by the sale of software maintenance services and software as a service. We apply our revenue recognition policies as required in accordance with ASC 606 based on the facts and circumstances of each category of revenue. More detail regarding each category of revenue is contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-Kallowance for credit losses for the fiscal yearperiod ended December 31, 2022 filed with the SEC filed on March 27, 2023.Sep 30, 2023 were as follows:

Deferred revenue

 

Amounts that have been invoiced are recognized in accounts receivable, deferred revenue or revenue, depending on whether the revenue recognition criteria have been met. Deferred revenue represents amounts billed for which revenue has not yet been recognized. Deferred revenues typically relate to maintenance and software-as-a-service agreements which have been paid for by customers prior to the performance of those services, and payments received for professional services and license arrangements and software-as-a-service performance obligations that have been deferred until fulfilled under our revenue recognition policy.

 

109

 

 

Remaining performance obligations represent the transaction price from contracts for which work has not been performed or goods and services have not been delivered. We expect to recognize revenue on approximately 9799% of the remaining performance obligations over the next 12 months, with the remainder recognized thereafter. As of March 31,September 30, 2023, the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations for software as a service and software maintenance contracts with a duration greater than one year was $54,89927,367. As of December 31, 2022, the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations for software as a service and software maintenance contracts with a duration greater than one year was $74,448. This does not include revenue related to performance obligations that are part of a contract whose original expected duration is one year or less.

Leases

11

We have made an accounting policy election to not record a right-of-use asset and lease liability for short-term leases, which are defined as leases with a lease term of 12 months or less. Instead, the lease payments are recognized as rent expense in the general and administrative expenses on the statement of operations.

 

Software Development Costs

 

We design, develop, test, market, license, and support new software products and enhancements of current products. We continuously monitor our software products and enhancements to remain compatible with standard platforms and file formats. In accordance with ASC 985-20 “Costs of Software to be Sold, Leased or Otherwise Marketed,” we expense software development costs, including costs to develop software products or the software component of products to be sold, leased, or marketed to external users, before technological feasibility is reached. Once technological feasibility has been established, certain software development costs incurred during the application development stage are eligible for capitalization. Based on our software development process, technical feasibility is established upon completion of a working model. Technological feasibility is typically reached shortly before the release of such products. No such costs were capitalized during the periods presentednine-month period 2023. Such costs in this report.the amounts of $0 and $43,771 were capitalized during the three and nine-month period 2022.

 

In accordance with ASC 350-40, “Internal-Use Software,” we capitalize purchase and implementation costs of internal use software. Once an application has reached development stage, internal and external costs, if direct and incremental, are capitalized until the software is substantially complete and ready for its intended use. Capitalization ceases upon completion of all substantial testing. We also capitalize costs related to specific upgrades and enhancements when it is probable that the expenditure will result in additional functionality. Such costs in the amount of $112,208139,633 and $29,397348,051 were capitalized during the first quarter 2023three and 2022, respectively.nine months ended September 30, 2023. Such costs in the amount of $143,943 and $315,148 were capitalized during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022.

 

Capitalized costs are stated at cost less accumulated amortization. Amortization is computed over the estimated useful lives of the related assets on a straight-line basis, which is three years. At March 31,September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, our condensed consolidated balance sheets included $476,680609,399 and $402,673, respectively, in other long-term assets.

 

For the three and nine months ended March 31,September 30, 2023 and 2022, our expensed software development costs were $131,743120,830 and $62,751392,576, respectively, and $42,852 and $157,811, respectively.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13 “Credit Losses - Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments.” ASU No. 2016-13 significantly changes how entities measure credit losses for most financial assets, including accounts receivable and held-to-maturity marketable securities, by replacing today’s “incurred loss” approach with an “expected loss” model under which allowances will be recognized based on expected rather than incurred losses. ASU No. 2016-13 became effective for us in the first quarter of 2023. The adoption of ASU No. 2016-13 resulted in aan initial reduction in the allowance for doubtful accounts of $11,662, and the current calculation is reflected in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.

Advertising

 

We expense the cost of advertising as incurred. Advertising expense for the three and nine months ended March 31,September 30, 2023 and 2022 amounted to $6,1207,853 and $44820,096, respectively, and $10,371 and $19,871, respectively.

 

Earnings (Loss) Per Share

 

Basic income or loss per share is computed by dividing net income or loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted income or loss per share is computed by dividing net income or loss by the diluted weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. The diluted weighted average number of shares gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method. Diluted earnings per share exclude all diluted potential shares if their effect is anti-dilutive, including warrants or options which are out-of-the-money and for those periods with a net loss.

 

We have outstanding warrants and stock options which have not been included in the calculation of diluted net loss per share for the threenine months ended March 31, 2023 andSeptember 30, 2022 because to do so would be anti-dilutive. For the first quarter 2023, certain options and warrants were in-the-money and others were not. The three months ended March 31, 2023 reported net income, while the three months ended March 31, 2022 reported a net loss. For the first quarter 2022,As such, the numerator and the denominator used in computing both basic and diluted net loss per share for that period are the same.

 

Income Taxes

 

We file a consolidated federal income tax return with our subsidiaries. The provision for income taxes is computed by applying statutory rates to income before taxes.

 

Deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences in future years of temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities as of each period-end based on enacted tax laws and statutory rates. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. A 100%100% valuation allowance has been established on deferred tax assets at March 31,September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, due to the uncertainty of our ability to realize future taxable income.

 

We account for uncertainty in income taxes in our financial statements as required under ASC 740, “Income Taxes.” The standard prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The standard also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition accounting. Management determined there were no material uncertain positions taken by us in our tax returns.

4. Business AcquisitionsCombinations

 

On April 1, 2022, we entered into an asset purchase agreement to acquire substantially all of the assets of Yellow Folder. The acquisition was accounted for in accordance with GAAP and was made to expand our market share in the digital transformation industry and due to synergies of product lines and services between the Companies.

 

The purchase price has been preliminarily allocated to assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on the estimated fair value of such assets and liabilities at the date of acquisitions as follows:

Schedule of Fair Valuevalue of Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed

Assets acquired:   
Accounts receivable $68,380 
Prepaid expenses  38,913 
Property and equipment  30,018 
Intangible assets (see Note 5)  3,888,000 
Assets  4,025,311 
Liabilities assumed:    
Accounts payable  36,446 
Deferred revenue  1,072,530 
Liabilities  1,108,976 
     
Total identifiable net assets  2,916,335 
     
Purchase price  6,383,269 
     
Goodwill - Excess of purchase price over fair value of net assets acquired $3,466,934 

 

The purchase price of $6,383,269 was paid in cash. Goodwill in the amount of $3,466,934 was recognized in the acquisition of Yellow Folder and is attributable to the cash flows of the business derived from our potential to outperform the market due to its existing relationship and other synergies created within the Company.

6. Fair Value Measurements

 

We paid our final earnout liability in January 2023 and as of March 31,September 30, 2023, we have no earnout liabilities remaining. As of December 31, 2022 we had earnout liabilities related to one of our two 2020 acquisitions which were measured on a recurring basis and recorded at fair value, measured using probability-weighted analysis and discounted using a rate that appropriately captures the risks associated with the obligation. The inputs used to calculate the fair value of the earnout liabilities were considered to be Level 3 inputs due to the lack of relevant market activity and significant management judgment. Key unobservable inputs included revenue growth rates, which ranged from 0% to 7%, and volatility rates, which were 20% for gross profits.

 

The following table provides a summary of the changes in fair value of the earnout liabilities for the threenine months ended March 31,September 30, 2023 and 2022:

Although we cannot predict the outcome of such matters, currently we have no reason to believe the disposition of any current matter could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse impact on our financial position, results of operations or the ability to carry on any of our business activities.

Operating Leases

 

On January 1, 2010, we entered into an agreement to lease 6,000 rentable square feet of office space in Columbus, Ohio, used for our corporate headquarters, Document Conversion operations, and a small portion of our Document Management operations. The lease commenced on January 1, 2010 and, pursuant to a lease extension dated September 18, 2021, the lease expires on December 31, 2028. The monthly rental payment is $5,100, with gradually higher annual increases each January up to $5,850 for the final year.

We lease 36,000 square feet of space in Madison Heights, Michigan as the main facility for our Document Conversion operations. 20,000 square feet is used for records storage services, with the remainder of the space used for production, sales, and administration. The monthly rental payment is $43,185, with gradually higher annual increases each September up to $45,828 for the final year, and with a lease term continuing until August 31, 2026.

We also lease a separate 37,000 square foot building in Sterling Heights, Michigan for our Document Conversion operations, with most of the space used for document storage, except approximately 5,000 square feet, which is used for production. The monthly rental payment is $21,072, with gradually higher annual increases each May up to $24,171 for the final year, and with a lease term continuing to April 30, 2028.

We lease office space in Traverse City, Michigan for Document Conversion production. The monthly rental payment is $4,500, with a lease term continuing until January 31, 2024.

We also lease and use vehicles for logistics pertaining to our Document Conversion segment, primarily pickup and delivery of client materials, including storage and retrieval operations. The monthly rental payments for these vehicles total $5,429, with lease terms continuing until September 30, 2028.

We also lease and use an additional temporary office space in Madison Heights for our Document Conversion operations, with a monthly rental payment of $1,605 and a lease term on a month-to-month basis. We have made an accounting policy election to not record a right-of-use asset and lease liability for short-term leases, which are defined as leases with a lease term of 12 months or less. Instead, the lease payments are recognized as rent expense in the general and administrative expenses on the statement of operations.

For each of the abovebelow listed leases, management has determined it will utilize the base rental period and have not considered any renewal periods.

Historical results and percentage relationships among any amounts in the financial statements are not necessarily indicative of trends in operating results for any future periods. Any forward-looking statements in this discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the information set forth in “Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” elsewhere herein. In this Quarterly Report, we sometimes refer to the three month periodand nine-month periods ended March 31,September 30, 2023 as the firstthird quarter 2023 and the nine-month period 2023 respectively, and to the three month periodand nine-month periods ended March 31,September 30, 2022 as the firstthird quarter 2022 and the nine-month period 2022.

 

Company Overview

 

We are a document services and software solutions company serving both the small-to-medium business and governmental sectors with their digital transformation and process automation initiatives. On April 1, 2022, we made a significant business acquisition that has significantly impacted our financial operations and grown our business operations. For further information about this acquisition, please see Note 4 to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in Item 1, Part I of this Quarterly Report.

 

Our digital transformation products and services are provided through two reporting segments: Document Management and Document Conversion. Our Document Management segment, which includes the Yellow Folder, LLC (“Yellow Folder”) asset acquisition in April 2022, consists primarily of solutions involving our software platform, allowing customers to capture and manage their documents across operations such as scanned hard-copy documents and digital documents including those from Microsoft Office 365, digital images, audio, video and emails. Our Document Conversion segment provides assistance to customers as a part of their overall document strategy to convert documents from one medium to another, predominantly paper to digital, including migration to our software solutions, as well as long-term storage and retrieval services. Our solutions create value for customers by making it easy to connect business-critical documents to the people who need them by making those documents easy to find and access, while also being secure and compliant with the customers’ audit requirements. Solutions are sold both directly to end-users and through resellers.

 

Our customers use our software by one of two methods: purchasing our software and installing it onto their own equipment, which we refer to as a “premise” model, or licensing and accessing our platform via the Internet, which we refer to as a “software as a service” or “SaaS” model and also as a “cloud-based” model. Licensing of our software through our SaaS model has become increasingly popular among our customers, especially in light of the increased deployment of remote workforce policies, and is a key ingredient in our revenue growth strategy. Our SaaS products are hosted with Amazon Web Services, Expedient, and Evocative, providing our customers with reliable hosting services that we believe are consistent with industry best practices in data security and performance.

 

We operate a U.S.-based business with concentrated sales to the State of Michigan for our Document Conversion segment, complemented by our diverse set of document management software solutions and services. We hold or compete for leading positions regionally in select markets and attribute this leadership to several factors including the strength of our brand name and reputation, our comprehensive offering of innovative solutions, and the quality of our service support. Net growth in sales of software as a service in recent years reflects market demand for these solutions over traditional sales of on-premise software. We expect to continue to benefit from our select niche leadership market positions, innovative product offering, growing customer base, and the impact of our sales and marketing programs. Examples of these programs include identifying and investing in growth and expanded market penetration opportunities, more effective products and services pricing strategies, demonstrating superior value to customers, increasing our sales force effectiveness through improved guidance and measurement, and continuing to optimize our lead generation and lead nurturing processes.

Executive Overview of Results

 

The biggest factorfactors in the changes in our results of operations during the first quarternine-month period 2023 compared to the nine-month period 2022 was our acquisition of Yellow Folder on April 1, 2022. Our results for the firstthird quarter and nine-month period 2023 include the results of Yellow Folder operations for the three quarters. Our first quarterfull periods reported, while our nine-month period 2022 results do not include only the second and third quarter results of Yellow Folder operations. Without Yellow Folder, revenues were up $608,759, or 23%, primarily driven by renewed professional services as well as strength in software as a service, which, excluding Yellow Folder, grew 18% year over year for the first quarter 2023. Our strong professional services performance, driven by an increase in Document Conversion project work, was not impacted meaningfully by the acquisition of Yellow Folder, and software as a service performancethe third quarter 2023 continued our strong 2023 growth, at 33% for the nine-month period 2023. This growth was partially offset by weaknesses in sales of software, which is increasingly inconsistent with reduced sales of on-premise software and lingering softer demand for the transactional portion of our storage and retrieval services from a significant customer in the home mortgage lending industry.

Financial Impact of Current Economic Conditions

 

Our overall performance depends on economic conditions, including the current inflationary environment and the widespread expectation of near-term global recession.continued economic uncertainty.

 

Employee wages, our largest expense, have recently increased due to wage inflation. These increased labor costs have slightly decreased our profit margin overin 2022 and intofurther in 2023, but we continue to mitigate this by appropriately increasing customer renewal rates whenever we have the contractual ability to do so. More significantly, general wage inflation in the market has resulted in a slower hiring process as we grew our staff during 2022 and 2023, particularly for our Document Conversion segment. These hiring and staffing challenges slowslowed our ability to complete project-based work backlog and reducereduced our revenue.revenue in the first part of 2022. However, we ended the first quarternine-month period 2023 with more staff than 2022, and have continued to hire more staff as of the date of this report.2022. We anticipate that the inflationary effect on our wages has stabilized.

 

Other volatility, particularly from global supply chain disruptions, has had and are expected to continue to have a minimal impact on us as we consume relatively little in raw materials. A global recession may affect our customers’ and potential customers’ budgets for technology procurement, but as of the date of this report, we have not experienced diminished customer demand due to adverse economic conditions. Absent significant global economic disruptions, and based on the current trend of our business operations and our continued focus on strategic initiatives to grow our customer base, we believe in the strength of our brand and that our focus on our strategic priorities will deliver consistent growth.

 

Uncertainties, Trends, and Risks that can cause Fluctuations in our Operating Results

 

Our operating results have fluctuated significantly in the past and are expected to continue to fluctuate in the future due to a variety of factors, in addition to economic conditions, that are discussed in Part II, Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Uncertainties, Trends, and Risks that can cause Fluctuations in our Operating Results” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022. Due to all these factors and the other risks discussed in Part II, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report, and Part I, Item IA, “Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, our past results of operations should not be relied upon as an indication of our future performance. Comparisons of our operating results with prior periods is not necessarily meaningful or indicative of future performance.

Our total revenues in the firstthird quarter 2023 increased by $1,483,321,388,802, or 55%10%, over our firstthird quarter 2022 revenues, driven primarily by the acquisition of Yellow Folder. Yellow Folder added $874,562 revenuestrong professional services in our Document Conversion segment, as further described below. The increase in total revenues for the first quarter 2023. The remaining net increase of 23% was primarilynine months ended September 30, 2023 is driven by renewed professional servicesthe same factors as well as strength in software as a service, which, excludingthree quarters of Yellow Folder grew 18% year over year for the first quarter 2023. Our strong professional servicesrevenues in 2023 and software as a service performance was partially offset by weaknessesonly two quarters in sales of software, which is increasingly inconsistent with reduced sales of on-premise software and lingering softer demand for the transactional portion of our storage and retrieval services from a significant customer in the home mortgage lending industry.2022.

 

Sale of Software Revenues

 

Revenues from the sale of software principally consist of sales of additional or upgraded software licenses and applications to existing customers and resellers. Yellow Folder does not earnsell revenue in this category. Revenues from the sale of software, which are reported as part of our Document Management segment, decreased by $49,198,$8,968, or 76% during49%, the firstthird quarter 2023 compared to the third quarter 2022, and decreased by $5,625, or 6% during the nine-month period 2023 compared to the nine-month period 2022.

 

These period over period changes are due to the timing of direct sales projects compared to the same periods in 2022. We expect the volatility of this revenue line item to continue as project timing is unpredictable and the frequency of on-premise software solution sales decreases over time and project timing is unpredictable.time.

Software as a Service Revenues

 

We provide access to our software solutions as a service, accessible through the internet. Our customers typically enter into our software as a service agreement for periods of one year or more. Under these agreements, we generally provide access to the applicable software, data storage and related customer assistance and support. Revenues from the sale of software as a service, which are reported as part of our Document Management segment increased by $807,211,$82,338, or 187%7%, in the firstthird quarter 2023 compared to the third quarter 2022 and increased by $1,009,011, or 36% in the nine-month period 2023 compared to the nine-month period 2022. ThisThe nine-month period increase was primarily the result of the Yellow Folder acquisition, which contributed $730,345,$909,088, or 90%, of the increase, augmenting the underlying newplus organic growth in our cloud-based solution sales,solutions, as well as expanded data storage, user seats, and hosting fees for existing customers. Excluding Yellow Folder, software as a service revenues grew 18% in the first quarter 2023 compared to 2022.

Software Maintenance Services Revenues

 

Software maintenance services revenues consist of fees for post-contract customer support services provided to license (premise-based) holders through support and maintenance agreements. These agreements allow our customers to receive technical support, enhancements and upgrades to new versions of our software products when and if available. A substantial portion of these revenues were generated from renewals of maintenance agreements, which typically run on a year-to-year basis. Yellow Folder does not earnsell revenue in this category. Revenues from the sale of software maintenance services, which are reported as part of our Document Management segment, increased by $12,940,$118, or 4%0%, in the firstthird quarter 2023 compared to the third quarter 2022 and increased by $18,316, or 2%, in the nine-month period 2023 compared to the nine-month period 2022. This small increase in these revenues in the first quarter 2023 compared to the 2022 was driven by the expansion of services with existing customers and price increases being partially offset by normal attrition and certain customers migrating their premise solution to our cloud solution, resulting software maintenance service revenuesand support agreements decreasing and software as a service revenues increasing. The combined growth of software as a service and software maintenance services revenues was 107%, which represents 16% without Yellow Folder.

 

Professional Services Revenues

 

Professional services revenues consist of revenues from document scanning and conversion services, consulting, discovery, training, and advisory services to assist customers with document management needs, as well as repair and maintenance services for customer equipment. These revenues include arrangements that do not involve the sale of software. Of our professional services revenues during the firstthird quarter 2023 $2,166,974 wasand nine-month period 2023, $2,151,846 and $6,433,485, respectively, were derived from our Document Conversion operations and $132,315 was$181,244 and $497,210, respectively, were derived from our Document Management operations. Our overall professional services revenues increased by $711,341,$325,477, or 45%16%, in the firstthird quarter 2023 compared to the third quarter 2022 and increased by $1,709,369, or 33%, in the nine-month period 2023 compared to the nine-month period 2022. This increase is primarily the result of the strong recovery in our Document Conversion segment in the first quarternine-month period 2023 from the softer demand of early 2022.2022, driven by increased project work including a large project with specific deadlines. The nine-month period increase includes the contribution of $110,316 in revenue from the Yellow Folder foracquisition from the first quarter.quarter 2023, which did not contribute revenue in the first quarter 2022.

 

Storage and Retrieval Services Revenues

 

We provide document storage and retrieval services to customers, primarily in Michigan. Revenues from storage and retrieval services, which are reported as part of our Document Conversion segment, increaseddecreased by $1,027,$10,163, or 0%4%, duringin the firstthird quarter 2023 compared to the third quarter 2022 and decreased by $16,161, or 2%, during the nine-month period 2023 compared to the nine-month period 2022. This net increasedecrease was the result of $33,901 revenue contributed from the Yellow Folder acquisition largely offset by a decrease of $32,874, primarily driven by a significantcontinued reduction in volume of transactional work from our largest storage and retrieval customer, Rocket Mortgage, due to the significant slowdown in the home mortgage and refinancing industry. Yellow Folder revenue partially offset the decrease by $35,799 in revenue contribution in the first quarter 2023.

In addition, general and indirect cost increases stemming fromadministrative expenses increased commensurate with our larger size and complexity, including scale-related expenses such as our uplisting to NYSE American and our infrastructure investments such as our internalinvestment in an ERP system upgrade, from QuickBookswhich are not expected to NetSuite.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

We have financed our operations primarily through a combination of cash on hand, cash generated from operations, borrowings from third parties and related parties, and proceeds from private sales of equity. Since 2012, and including our private offering in April 2022, we have raised a total of approximately $25.2$24.5 million in cash through issuances of debt and equity securities, net of $1.3$2 million in debt repayments. As of March 31,September 30, 2023, we had approximately $1.4$1.7 million in cash and cash equivalents, net working capital deficit of $0.8$0.1 million, and an accumulated deficit of $21.5$21.2 million. In January 2023, we paid $0.7 million in final earnout payments and in February and August 2023 and December 2022 we prepaid approximately $1.3repaid a total of $2 million in principal, which was due in February 2023.representing full payments on the 2020 Notes.

 

In 2023 and 2022, we engaged in several actions that significantly improved our liquidity and cash flows, including (i) effective October 1, 2023 through May 30, 2025, securing a renewal contract with our largest customer, the State of Michigan, containing an estimated net rate increase of approximately 21%, compared to the current rates in effect for the contract period commencing June 1, 2018 and (ii), on April 1, 2022:

 

 acquiring the positive cash flow generated by Yellow Folder,
   
 receiving aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $5.7 million from the private placement of our common stock (all which was used to acquire Yellow Folder), and
   
 receiving approximately $3.0 million in proceeds from the issuance of 12% subordinated promissory notes due March 30, 2025, which we refer to as the 2022 Notes (some of which was used to acquire Yellow Folder, with the remainder used for general working capital).

 

29

Of our

Our existing debt as of March 31,September 30, 2023 $0.7 million is due August 31, 2023, andcomprised of approximately $3 million is due March 30, 2025. Our operating cash flow alone may be insufficient to meet the debt obligations in full in 2023.2025. We believe we could seek additional debt or equity financing on acceptable terms. We believe that our balance sheet and financial statements would support a full or partial refinancing or other appropriate modification of the current promissory notes, such as an extension or conversion to equity. We are confident in our ability to prudently manage our current debt on terms acceptable to us.

 

Our ability to meet our capital needs in the short term will depend on many factors, including maintaining and enhancing our operating cash flow successfully managing the transition of our recent acquisition of Yellow Folder,and successfully retaining and growing our client base in the midst of global inflation and general economic uncertainty.

 

Based on our current plans and assumptions, we believe our capital resources, including our cash and cash equivalents, along with funds expected to be generated from our operations and potential financing options, will be sufficient to meet our anticipated cash needs arising in the ordinary course of business for at least the next 12 months, including to satisfy our expected working capital needs and capital and debt service commitments.

 

Our ability to meet our capital needs further into the future will depend primarily on strategically managing the business and successfully retaining our client base.

As of March 31,September 30, 2023, our outstanding long-term indebtedness consisted of:

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

The preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses in the reporting period. We monitor and analyze these items for changes in facts and circumstances, and material changes in these estimates could occur in the future. We base our estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various other factors that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the accrual of costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. Changes in estimates are reflected in reported results for the period in which they become known. The actual results experienced by us may differ materially from our estimates. To the extent there are material differences between our estimates and the actual results, our future results of operations will be affected.

 

Our critical accounting policies and estimates are set forth in Part II, Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022. There were no material changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates during the firstthird quarter 2023.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) at the end of the period covered by this this Quarterly Report.

 

Based on this evaluation, we concluded that, as of March 31,September 30, 2023, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving its desired objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect resource constraints and that management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this Quarterly Report that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act).
