Certain information and disclosures normally included in consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted. In the opinion of management, these financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods indicated. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the year ending December 31, 2021. These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2020 and 2019 and for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018 and the related notes included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus. | Basis of Presentation The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) and include the consolidated accounts of AvePoint, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. In the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company adopted the Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2014-09, 2015-14, 2016-08, 2016-10, 2016-12, 2016-20, 2017-10, 2017-13 2017-14 The impact of adopting ASC 606 for select consolidated balance sheet line items was as follows: January 1, 2019 December 31, 2019 Unadjusted Adjustments Adjusted Unadjusted Adjustments Adjusted (in thousands) Accounts receivable, net $ 20,240 $ 7,600 $ 27,840 $ 34,811 $ 5,123 $ 39,934 Deferred contract costs — 21,281 21,281 — 28,351 28,351 Long-term unbilled receivables — 2,740 2,740 — 3,685 3,685 Other assets 10,193 (3,795 ) 6,398 9,221 (4,424 ) 4,797 Deferred revenue 66,623 20,390 46,233 84,074 23,474 60,600 Accounts receivable, net increased as a result of increases in unbilled receivables. Deferred contracts costs increased as a result of deferred sales commissions. Other assets decreased as a result of the adoption’s impact to deferred taxes. Deferred revenue decreased as a result of recognition of revenue related to on-premises termed license offerings, which under ASC 605 were generally recognized over the life of the related customer agreements, but under ASC 606 are recognized at a point in time upon delivery of an on-premises termed license. In addition, deferred revenue decreased as a result of recognition of revenue related to certain service offerings, which under ASC 605 were generally recognized under the completed contract method, but under ASC 606 are recognized based on a measure of progress, such as labor hours, to determine the percentage of completion of the projects. Revenue for the year ended December 31, 2019 in accordance with the previous revenue recognition policy was $114.5 million, compared to $116.1 million recorded under ASC 606. The adoption of ASC 606 decreased the Commission expense, which is included in Sales and Marketing on the Statement of Operations, from $13.9 million to $11.0 million. The Company revised its presentation of revenue to identify revenue generated from SaaS, termed license and support, services, maintenance and OEM and perpetual license. Previously, the Company presented revenue generated from subscription, which included SaaS and termed license and support revenue, services and license, maintenance, and OEM, which included perpetual license, maintenance and OEM revenue. The Company made corresponding revisions to its presentation of cost of revenue to identify costs associated with SaaS, termed license and support, services and maintenance and OEM. Previously, the Company presented cost of revenue associated with subscription, services and license, maintenance and OEM. |
Use of Estimates | Use of Estimates The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the Company’s consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on historical experience and on various other assumptions that it believes are reasonable under the circumstances. The amounts of assets and liabilities reported in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets and the amounts of revenue and expenses reported for each of its periods presented are affected by estimates and assumptions, which are used for, but not limited to, the accounting for revenue recognition, allowance for doubtful accounts, deferred contract costs, income taxes and related reserves, stock-based compensation and accounting for research and development costs. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Actual results and outcomes may differ from management’s estimates and assumptions due to risks and uncertainties, including uncertainty in the current economic environment due to the outbreak of a novel strain of the coronavirus (“COVID-19”). | Use of Estimates The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the Company’s consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes.

Deferred Sales Commissions | Deferred Sales Commissions The Company defers sales commissions earned by its sales force that are considered to be incremental and recoverable costs of obtaining SaaS, termed license and support, service, perpetual license and maintenance contracts. The Company has structured commissions plans such that the commission rate paid on renewal contracts are less than those paid on the initial contract; therefore, it is determined that the renewal commissions are not commensurate with the initial commission. The Company determines the estimated average customer relationship period and average renewal term utilizing a portfolio approach. The amortization of commissions are included in sales and marketing expense in the consolidated statements of operations. Deferred costs are periodically reviewed for impairment. Amortization of deferred sales commissions of $2.2 million and $2.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, is included as a component of sales and marketing expenses in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations.

The Company has structured commissions plans such that the commission rate paid on renewal contracts are less than those paid on the initial contract; therefore, it is determined that the renewal commissions are not commensurate with the initial commission. Initial sales commissions for the majority of these aforementioned contracts are generally deferred and amortized on a straight-line basis over the average customer relationship period, which is estimated to be 5.4 years. Sales commissions for renewal contracts relating to SaaS, termed license and support, and maintenance arrangements are generally deferred and then amortized on a straight-line basis over the average renewal term, estimated to be 1.7 years. The Company determines the estimated average customer relationship period and average renewal term utilizing a portfolio approach. The amortization of commissions are included in sales and marketing expense in the consolidated statements of operations. Deferred costs are periodically reviewed for impairment. Amortization of deferred sales commissions of $10.5 million and $7.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, is included as a component of sales and marketing expenses in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. Deferred sales commissions recognized as a contract asset on the Company’s balance sheet was $31.9 million and $28.4 million at December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. |
Revenue Recognition | Revenue Recognition The Company derives revenue from four primary sources: SaaS, termed license and support, services, and maintenance. Services include installation services, training and other consulting services. The following table presents AvePoint’s revenue by source: For the Three Months 2021 2020 Revenue: SaaS $ 18,259 $ 10,243 Termed license and support 8,727 7,744 Services 5,916 7,579 Maintenance and OEM 5,409 6,005 Perpetual license 489 1,090 Total revenue $ 38,800 $ 32,661 Termed license and support revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 includes $5.7 million and $5.2 million of revenue recognized at a point of time, respectively. Revenue deferred under contracts with customers as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 was $73.2 million and $74.7 million, respectively. Revenue recognized that was included in the opening deferred revenue balance was $22.9 million and $20.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The opening and closing balances of the Company’s accounts receivable, net, deferred revenue and deferred sales commissions are as follows: Accounts Deferred Deferred (in thousands) Opening (January 1, 2020) $ 43,619 $ 60,600 $ 28,351 Closing (December 31, 2020) 53,749 74,688 31,943 Increase/(decrease) 10,130 14,088 3,592 Opening (January 1, 2021) $ 53,749 $ 74,688 $ 31,943 Closing (March 31, 2021) 46,915 73,221 32,800 Increase/(decrease) (6,834 ) (1,467 ) 857 There were no significant changes to the Company’s contract assets or liabilities during the year ended December 31, 2020 and the three months ended March 31, 2021 outside of its sales activities. As of March 31, 2021, transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations, which includes deferred revenue and amounts that will be invoiced and recognized as revenue in future periods, was $156.1 million, of which $120.1 million is related to SaaS and termed license and support revenue. AvePoint expects to recognize approximately 63% of this revenue over the next twelve months and the remainder thereafter. | Revenue Recognition Revenue recognition after the adoption of ASC 606 The Company derives revenue from four primary sources: SaaS, termed license and support, services, and maintenance. Services include installation services, training and other consulting services. The following table presents AvePoint’s revenue by source: Year Ended December 31, 2020 2019 2018 (in thousands) Revenue: SaaS $ 52,074 $ 27,744 $ 15,558 Termed license and support 38,949 26,985 21,802 Services 34,140 26,662 27,228 Maintenance and OEM 23,462 29,122 36,161 Perpetual license 2,908 5,586 6,565 Total revenue $ 151,533 $ 116,099 $ 107,314 Termed license and support revenue for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 includes $29.5 million and $20.8 million of revenue recognized at a point of time, respectively. The Company’s sources of revenue mainly include: • SaaS and termed license and support revenue includes revenue from sale of SaaS and termed license and support, versions of the Company’s software and related customer support. SaaS revenue is recognized ratably over the term of the of the contract. Termed License revenue includes distinct on-premises • Perpetual license revenue includes software licenses that provide for a perpetual right to use the Company’s software and are sold on a per-copy • Maintenance revenue includes customer support, which includes software updates and upgrades on a when-and-if-available web-based • Services revenue includes revenue derived primarily from the implementation of software, training, consulting and migrations. AvePoint also offers license customization and managed services. Services revenue from implementation, training, consulting, migration, and license customization is recognized by applying a measure of progress, such as labor hours to determine the percentage of completion of each contract. Services revenue from managed services is recognized ratably on a straight line basis over the contract term. • Revenue from software sold through original equipment manufacturer (OEM) partners is recognized upon receipt of a royalty report from the OEM partner and over a period equal to the contractual obligation for customer support or the estimated useful life of the software. ASC 606 is a single standard for revenue recognition that applies to all of the Company’s SaaS, termed license and support, services, perpetual license and maintenance arrangements and generally requires revenue to be recognized upon the transfer of control of promised goods or services provided to its customers, reflecting the amount of consideration it expects to receive for those goods or services. Pursuant to ASC 606, revenue are recognized upon the application of the following steps: • identification of the contract, or contracts, with a customer; • identification of the performance obligations in the contract; • determination of the transaction price; • allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and • recognition of revenue when, or as, the contractual performance obligations are satisfied. The timing of revenue recognition may differ from the timing of invoicing to the Company’s customers. The Company records an unbilled receivable, which is included within accounts receivable on its consolidated balance sheets, when revenue is recognized prior to invoicing. The Company records deferred revenue on its consolidated balance sheets when cash is collected or invoiced before revenue is earned. The Company’s standard payment terms are generally net 30 days but may vary. Invoices for SaaS, termed license and support and maintenance are generally issued annually in advance or when the license is made available for customer use. Invoices for license contracts are generally issued when the license is available for the customer for download. Services are generally invoiced in advance or as the services are performed. Revenue deferred under contracts with customers as of December 31, 2020 and 2019 was $74.7 million and $60.6 million, respectively. Revenue recognized that was included in the opening deferred revenue balance was $52.2 million and $54.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The opening and closing balances of the Company’s accounts receivable, net, deferred revenue and deferred sales commissions are as follows: Accounts Deferred Deferred (in thousands) Opening (January 1, 2018) $ 19,274 $ 73,199 $ — Closing (December 31, 2018) 20,240 66,623 — Increase/(decrease) 966 (6,576 ) — Opening (January 1, 2019) $ 30,580 $ 46,233 $ 21,281 Closing (December 31, 2019) 43,619 60,600 28,351 Increase/(decrease) 13,039 14,367 7,070 Opening (January 1, 2020) $ 43,619 $ 60,600 $ 28,351 Closing (December 31, 2020) 53,749 74,688 31,943 Increase/(decrease) 10,130 14,088 3,592 There were no significant changes to the Company’s contract assets or liabilities during the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018 outside of its sales activities and adjustments related to its adoption of ASC 606, which affected January 1, 2019 contract balances. The Company’s revenue arrangements generally include standard warranty or service level provisions that its arrangements will perform and operate in all material respects as defined in the respective agreements, the financial impacts of which have historically been and are expected to continue to be insignificant. The Company’s arrangements generally do not include a general right of return relative to the delivered products or services. The Company recognizes revenue net of any taxes collected from customers, which are subsequently remitted to governmental authorities. Many of the Company’s contracts include multiple performance obligations. Judgment is required in determining whether each performance obligation is distinct. The Company’s products and services generally do not require a significant amount of integration or interdependency; therefore, the Company’s products and services are generally not combined. The Company allocates the transaction price for each contract to each performance obligation based on the relative standalone selling price (“SSP”) for each performance obligation within each contract. The Company uses judgment in determining the SSP for products and services. For substantially all performance obligations except on-premises on-premises on-premises on-premises on-premises on-premises On-premises As of December 31, 2020, transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations, which includes deferred revenue and amounts that will be invoiced and recognized as revenue in future periods, was $153.6 million, of which $118.8 million is related to SaaS and termed license and support revenue. AvePoint expects to recognize approximately 66% of this revenue over the next twelve months and the remainder thereafter. AvePoint utilizes indirect sales channels which utilize channel partners. These deals are executed in one of two ways. In the first form of these arrangements, the channel partner purchases the products from AvePoint at a discounted price and resells the products to end users at a price determined by the channel partner. In this scenario, the channel partner is the entity that has contracted with AvePoint and therefore is determined to be the customer of AvePoint. In the second form, AvePoint bills the end user and the channel partner receives a commission. Upon analysis of deals executed through the second form of these channels, the Company determined that the end user represents the customer of AvePoint due to the fact that the end user purchased goods and/or services that are outputs of AvePoint’s ordinary activities. Consequently, channel partners utilized in deals executed through this second model are deemed to be agents of the transaction. AvePoint recognizes revenue when control of the goods and/or services are transferred to the customer. In the first form of these arrangements, this occurs upon transfer to the reseller or to the end user at the reseller’s direction. In the second form of these arrangements, this occurs upon transfer to the end user. Revenue Recognition Prior to the Adoption of ASC 606 During the year ended December 31, 2018, revenue from long-term contracts were recognized primarily using ASC 605-35, Revenue Recognition - Construction-Type and Production-Type Contracts Under ASC 605-35, For sales arrangements involving multiple elements, the Company recognizes revenue in accordance with the following policy: A software multiple-element arrangement is separated into more than one unit of accounting if all of the following criteria are met: • The functionality of the delivered elements is not dependent on the undelivered elements. • There is VSOE of fair value of the undelivered elements. VSOE of fair value is based on the price charged when the deliverable is sold separately by the Company on a regular basis and not as part of the multiple-element arrangement. • Delivery of the delivered elements represents the culmination of the earnings process for that element. If these criteria are met, the Company recognized revenue using the residual method for delivered elements. Under the residual method, the Company allocates and defers revenue for the undelivered elements based on their fair values and recognizes the difference between the total arrangement fee and the amount deferred for the undelivered elements as revenue. The determination of fair value of the undelivered elements in multiple element arrangements is based on the price charged when such elements are sold separately, which is commonly referred to as VSOE. To determine the price for the customer support element when sold separately, the Company primarily uses the bell-shaped curve approach which is based on historical renewal rates for the Company’s entire population of stand-alone customer support renewals over the past twelve months. Under the Bell-Shaped Curve Approach, VSOE of fair value of post-contract customer support (“PCS”) exists when a substantial majority of a company’s actual customer support renewals are within a narrow range of pricing. Renewal rates are supported by performing an analysis in which the Company segregates its customer support renewal contracts into different classes based on specific criteria including, but not limited to, the level of customer support being provided and the geographic location of the sale. As a result of this analysis, the Company has concluded that it has established VSOE for the different classes of customer support when the support is sold as part of a multiple-element sales arrangement. The Company recognizes software revenue through all indirect sales channels on a sell-through model. A sell-through model requires the Company to recognize revenue when the basic revenue recognition criteria are met as described below and these channels complete the sale of the Company’s software products to the end user. Revenue from software sold through original equipment manufacturer (OEM) partners is recognized upon receipt of a royalty report from the OEM partner and over a period equal to the contractual obligation for customer support or the estimated useful life of the software. These sales are treated as a separate customer class for purposes of establishing vendor-specific objective evidence (VSOE). Due to terms of the contracts with its OEM partners, the Company determined that VSOE had not been established for customer support. As a result, OEM revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over a period equal to the contractual obligation for customer support or the estimated useful life of the software. The Company has analyzed all of the undelivered elements included in its multiple-element arrangements and determined that, with the exception of revenue sold through OEM partners, VSOE of fair value exists to allocate revenue to maintenance and services. Accordingly, assuming all basic revenue recognition criteria are met, software revenue is recognized upon delivery of the software license using the residual method in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 985-605, If the criteria for separating a multi-element arrangement into more than one unit of accounting are not met, the arrangement is accounted for as a single unit of accounting which would result in revenue being recognized on a straight-line basis until the last element is delivered or being deferred until the earlier of when such criteria are met or when the last undelivered elements are delivered. The Company considers the four basic revenue recognition criteria for each of the elements as follows: • Persuasive Evidence of an Arrangement with the Customer Exists • Delivery or Performance has Occurred: • Vendor’s Fee is Fixed or Determinable: • Collection is Probable: non-payment |
Legal Proceedings | Legal Proceedings In the normal course of its business, the Company may be involved in various claims, negotiations and legal actions. Except for such claims that arise in the normal course of business, as of March 31, 2021, the Company is not a party to any other litigation for which a material claim is reasonably possible, probable or estimable. | Legal Proceedings In the normal course of its business, the Company may be involved in various claims, negotiations and legal actions. Except for such claims that arise in the normal course of business, as of December 31, 2020, the Company is not a party to any other litigation for which a material claim is reasonably possible, probable or estimable. |
Income Taxes | Income Taxes Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to difference between financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to be applied to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. AvePoint recognizes liabilities for uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in income tax returns. Accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits are recognized as part of the provision for income taxes. Judgment is required in determining the provision for income taxes, deferred tax assets and liabilities and unrecognize tax benefits. In determining the need for a valuation allowance, the historical and projected financial performance of the operation that is recording a net deferred tax asset is considered along with any other pertinent information. AvePoint files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, various states and foreign jurisdictions. The tax years 2016 through 2020 are open and subject to audit by US federal, state and local authorities. The tax years 2010 through 2020 are open and subject to audit by major foreign tax jurisdictions. | |
Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest | Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest At March 31, 2021, the Company owned 76.09% and AEPL PTE. LTD. (“AEPL”) owned 23.91% of a subsidiary of the Company, AvePoint EduTech PTE. LTD. (“EduTech”). As part of AEPL’s investment in EduTech, the Company granted AEPL a put option which allows AEPL to cause the Company to repurchase AEPL’s shares in EduTech at any time between December 24, 2022 and December 24, 2023 at a price equal to AEPL’s initial investment. Consequently, the Company records redeemable noncontrolling interest as mezzanine equity in its consolidated statement of mezzanine equity and stockholders’ deficiency. At each reporting period, the Company increases the carrying amount of the redeemable noncontrolling interest by periodic accretions using the interest method so that the carrying amount will equal the redemption amount on the date that the put option becomes exercisable, and adjustments to the value are recorded as net income attributable to redeemable noncontrolling interest. | |
Emerging Growth Company | Emerging Growth Company Upon successful completion of the business combination discussed in the Subsequent Events section, AvePoint is expected to be considered an emerging growth company. Section 102(b)(1) of the Jobs Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements | Recent Accounting Pronouncements In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, “Debt — Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging — Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815 — 40)” (“ASU 2020-06”). ASU 2020-06 simplifies the accounting for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity, including convertible instruments and contracts on an entity’s own equity. The ASU is part of the FASB’s simplification initiative, which aims to reduce unnecessary complexity in U.S. GAAP. The amendments in this ASU are effective for public business entities, excluding entities eligible to be smaller reporting companies, for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021. For all other entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the impact ASU 2020-06 will have on its financial statements. In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (ASC 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (ASU 2019-12), which is intended to simplify various areas related to the accounting for income taxes and improve consistent application of ASC 740. The amendments in this ASU are effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. For all other entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022. Early adoption of the amendments is permitted, including adoption in any interim period for public business entities for periods for which financial statements have not yet been issued and all other entities for periods for which financial statements have not yet been made available for issuance. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of its pending adoption of ASU 2019-12 on its consolidated financial statements. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (ASC 842) and also issued subsequent amendments to the initial guidance: ASU 2017-13, ASU 2018-10, ASU 2018-11, ASU 2018-20, ASU 2019-01, ASU 2020-02, and ASU 2020-05 (collectively, ASC 842). ASC 842 requires companies to generally recognize on the balance sheet operating and financing lease liabilities and corresponding right-of-use assets. ASC 842 was effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. For all other for-profit entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022. ASC 842 must be adopted using a modified retrospective method and its early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adoption of this ASU on its consolidated financial statements. While the Company generally expects the financial records to be impacted by the requirements highlighted above, the Company cannot reasonably estimate the impact that adoption of the ASUs referenced in this announcement is expected to have on the financial statements at this time. In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments — Credit Losses on Financial Instruments,” which replaces incurred loss methodology to estimate credit losses on financial instruments with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses. This amendment affects entities holding financial assets that are not accounted for at fair value through net income including trade receivables. The amendments in this ASU were effective for public business entities, excluding entities eligible to be smaller reporting companies, for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019.

Short-Term Investments | | Short-Term Investments Short-term investments consist mainly of certificate of deposits held by financial institutions which have an initial maturity of greater than three months but less than or equal to one year at period end. |
Property and Equipment | | Property and Equipment Property and equipment are stated at cost and depreciated on a straight-line basis over the shorter of their estimated useful lives or related contract terms beginning in the year the asset was placed into service. Computer equipment 3.0 years Leasehold improvements 5.0-11.0 years Furniture and fixture 7.0 years Office equipment 5.0 years Software 3.0 years Buildings 39.5 years Normal repair and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred. The Company writes off depreciated assets that are no longer in service. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the lesser of the lease term or the estimated useful life of the improvements and such amortization is included in depreciation and amortization expense. The Company evaluates long-lived assets, which include leasehold improvements and equipment subject to amortization, for impairment whenever events or changes in business circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. An impairment loss will be recognized when the aggregate of estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from the use and the eventual disposition of the long-lived assets less than its carrying amount. Impairment, if any, is determined based on the fair value of the long-lived asset. There were no impairment charges recognized during the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018. The Company evaluates the portion of depreciation and amortization expense attributable to cost of revenue based on organizational headcount directly attributable to the generation of revenue. Based on this evaluation, the Company has determined that depreciation and amortization attributable to cost of revenue is not material; therefore, the full expense has been recorded in operating expenses in the consolidated statements of operations. |
Software Development Costs | | Software Development Costs The Company expenses software development costs, including costs to develop software products or the software component of products to be marketed to external users, before technological feasibility of such products is reached. The Company has determined that technological feasibility is reached shortly before the release of those products and as a result, the development costs incurred after the establishment of technological feasibility and before the release of those products are not material. Software development costs also include costs to develop software programs to be used solely to meet the Company’s internal needs and cloud based applications used to deliver its services. The Company capitalizes development costs related to these software applications once the preliminary project stage is complete and it is probable that the project will be completed and the software will be used to perform the function intended. Costs capitalized for developing such software applications were not material for the periods presented. |
Stock-Based Compensation | | Stock-Based Compensation Stock-based compensation represents the cost related to stock-based awards granted to employees. To date, the Company has issued both stock options and restricted stock. With respect to equity-classified awards, the Company measures stock-based compensation cost at the grant date based on the estimated fair value of the award and recognizes the cost as expense ratably (net of estimated forfeitures) over the requisite service period. With respect to liability-classified awards, the Company measures stock-based compensation cost at the grant date and at each reporting period based on the estimated fair value of the award and recognizes the cost as an expense ratably (net of estimated forfeitures) over the requisite service period. The Company estimates the fair value of stock options using a Black-Scholes valuation model. The Black-Scholes model requires highly subjective assumptions in order to derive the inputs necessary to the calculate the fair value of stock options. To estimate the expected life of stock options, the Company considered contractual terms of the options, including the vesting and expiration periods, as well as historical option exercise data and current market conditions to determine an estimated expected life. The Company’s historical experience is too limited to be able to reasonably estimate expected life. Expected volatility is based on historical volatility of a group of peer entities. Dividend yields are based upon historical dividend yields. Risk-free interest rates are based on the implied yields currently available on U.S. Treasury zero coupon issues with a remaining term equal to the expected life. To estimate the value of the common stock, the Company obtained a valuation from a third party appraisal firm. The assumptions are based on the following: • Expected Volatility. • Risk-Free Interest Rate . • Dividend Yield . • Expected Life . • Fair Value of Common Stock . • Forfeitures . The fair value of the shares of common stock underlying the stock options is a subjective estimate given that there is no public market for the underlying common stock. In consideration of the absence of a public market for AvePoint common stock, the Company has engaged a third-party appraisal firm to provide a valuation of AvePoint common shares. The assumptions used in the valuation models were based on future expectations and management judgment, including input from management on the following factors: • Contemporaneous valuations performed at periodic intervals by independent, third-party specialists; • AvePoint’s actual operating results and financial performance; • The prices, preferences, and privileges of shares of AvePoint’s convertible preferred stock relative to shares of AvePoint’s common stock; • Current business conditions and projections; • Stage of development; • Likelihood of achieving a liquidity event, such as an initial public offering or a sale of AvePoint, given prevailing market conditions and the nature and history of AvePoint’s business; • Market multiples of comparable companies in AvePoint’s industry; • Industry information such as market size and growth; • Secondary sales of AvePoint’s shares in arm’s length transactions; • Adjustments, if any, necessary to recognize a lack of marketability for AvePoint’s shares; and • Macroeconomic conditions. In preparing AvePoint’s full year 2020 financial statements, the Company determined that an error existed in the allocation methodology of its stock-based compensation expense in prior years. The Company evaluated the error and determined that it is not material to its financial statements. Although not material, certain amounts from prior periods related to stock-based compensation have been adjusted to conform with the appropriate allocation methodology which results in the presentation of the stock-based compensation expense in the same financial statement line items as cash compensation paid to the same employees. The reclassification of stock-based compensation resulted in the following changes: Year Ended December 31, 2020 Year Ended December 31, 2019 Year Ended December 31, 2018 (in thousands) Pre- Adjustment Adjustment Post- Pre- Adjustment Adjustment Post- Pre- Adjustment Adjustment Post- Cost of services $ 19,289 $ 316 $ 19,605 $ 24,312 $ 415 $ 24,727 $ 21,567 $ 157 $ 21,724 Gross Profit 76,031 (316 ) 75,715 80,115 (415 ) 79,700 76,674 (157 ) 76,517 Sales and marketing 40,654 9,227 49,881 53,735 8,166 61,901 49,884 385 50,269 General and administrative 30,656 (9,738 ) 20,918 33,473 (8,859 ) 24,614 19,786 (684 ) 19,102 Research and development 8,564 196 8,760 10,870 278 11,148 8,101 143 8,244 |
Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest | | Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest At December 31, 2020, the Company owned 77.78% and AEPL PTE. LTD. (“AEPL”) owned 22.22% of a subsidiary of the Company, AvePoint EduTech PTE. LTD. (“EduTech”). As part of AEPL’s initial investment in EduTech, the Company granted AEPL a put option which allows AEPL to cause the Company to repurchase AEPL’s shares in EduTech at any time between December 24, 2022 and December 24, 2023 at a price equal to AEPL’s initial investment. Consequently, the Company records redeemable noncontrolling interest as mezzanine equity in its consolidated statement of mezzanine equity and stockholders’ deficiency for the year ended December 31, 2020. At each reporting period, the Company increases the carrying amount of the redeemable noncontrolling interest by periodic accretions using the interest method so that the carrying amount will equal the redemption amount on the date that the put option becomes exercisable, and adjustments to the value are recorded as net income attributable to redeemable noncontrolling interest. |

Use of Estimates | Use of Estimates The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate, could change in the near term due to one or more future events. Accordingly, the actual results could differ significantly from the Company’s estimates. | Use of Estimates The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods.

Cash and Cash Equivalents | Cash and cash equivalents The Company considers all short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents are stated at cost, which approximates market value. Cash equivalents consist of money market accounts. As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, cash equivalents amounted to $50,000. | Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company considers all short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. The Company did not have any cash equivalents as of December 31, 2020 and 2019. |
Income Taxes | Income Taxes The Company follows the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes under ASC 740, “Income Taxes.” Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the consolidated financial statements carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that included the enactment date. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company had a deferred tax asset of approximately $2,099,000 and $137,000, respectively, which had a full valuation allowance recorded against it of approximately $2,099,000 and $137,000, respectively. The Company’s taxable income primarily consists of interest income on the Trust Account. The Company’s general and administrative costs are generally considered start-up costs and are not currently deductible. The Company did not record an income tax provision during the three months ended March 31, 2021. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company recorded income tax expense of approximately $392,000, primarily related to interest income earned on the Trust Account. The Company’s effective tax rate of 0% and 7% for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 respectively, differs from the expected income tax rate due to the start-up costs (discussed above) which are not currently deductible. ASC 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. There were no unrecognized tax benefits and no amounts accrued for interest and penalties as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020. The Company is currently not aware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviation from its position. The Company is subject to income tax examinations by major taxing authorities since inception. | Income Taxes The Company follows the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes under ASC 740, “Income Taxes.” Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the consolidated financial statements carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases.

Class A Common Stock Subject to Possible Redemption | Class A Common Stock Subject to Possible Redemption The Company accounts for its common stock subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” Common stock subject to mandatory redemption is classified as a liability instrument and is measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable common stock (including common stock that features redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within the Company’s control) is classified as temporary equity. At all other times, common stock is classified as stockholders’ equity. The Company’s Class A common stock features certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of the Company’s control and subject to occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, Class A common stock subject to possible redemption is presented as temporary equity, outside of the stockholders’ equity section of the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets. | Class A Common Stock Subject to Possible Redemption The Company accounts for its common stock subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” Common stock subject to mandatory redemption is classified as a liability instrument and is measured at fair value.

Fair Value Measurements | | Fair Value Measurements Fair value is defined as the price that would be received for sale of an asset or paid for transfer of a liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. GAAP establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). These tiers include: • Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical instruments in active markets; • Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable such as quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets or quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and • Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions, such as valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable. In some circumstances, the inputs used to measure fair value might be categorized within different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In those instances, the fair value measurement is categorized in its entirety in the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. |
