Basis of Presentation | Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q S-X The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2021, which are included in the Company’s registration statement on Form S-1 | |
Emerging Growth Company | Emerging Growth Company The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”), and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies. Further, 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. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging | |
Use of Estimates | Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. The Company prepared these estimates based on the most current and best available information, but actual results could differ materially from these estimates and assumptions. Significant estimates and assumptions reflected in the financial statements include, but are not limited to, the allowance for credit losses and revenue recognition, including variable consideration for estimated reserves for returns and other allowances. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on assumptions that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgements about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. | |
Income Taxes | Income Taxes The Company follows the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes under ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes” (ASC 740). Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the 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. 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 September 30, 2022. 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 its inception. | |
Concentration of Risk | Concentration of Risks Credit Risk Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash, restricted cash and accounts receivables. The Company maintains cash balances at financial institutions. Amounts on deposit at these institutions are secured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”). At various times, the Company has had bank deposits in excess of the FDIC’s insurance limit. The Company has not experienced any losses in its cash accounts to date. Management believes that the Company is not exposed to any significant credit risk with respect to its cash. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and generally does not require collateral. As of September 30, 2022, receivables from two customers amounted to $0.7 million (or 8% of accounts receivable) and $7.7 million (or 80% of accounts receivable). As of December 31, 2021, receivables from two customers amounted to $1.1 million (or 15% of accounts receivable) and $5.4 million (or 73% of accounts receivable). Major Customers For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, revenue from three customers amounted to $21.3 million (or 32% of total revenue), $9.6 million (or 14% of total revenue), and $6.2 million (or 9% of total revenue). For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, revenue from three customer amounted to $14.1 million (or 25% of total revenue), $10.8 million (or 19% of total revenue), and $7.1 million (or 13% of total revenue). Major Suppliers For , , three vendors accounted for $ million (or % of total operating expense purchases), $ million (or % of total operating expense purchases) and $ million (or % of total operating expense purchases). For the nine months ended September , , three vendors accounted for $ million (or % of total operating expense purchases), $ million (or % of total operating expense purchases) and $ million (or % of total operating expense purchases). Warrants The Company accounts for warrants as either equity-classified or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the warrant’s specific terms and applicable authoritative guidance in FASB ASC 480 and ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging” (“ASC 815”). The assessment considers whether the warrants are freestanding financial instruments pursuant to ASC 480, meet the definition of a liability pursuant to ASC 480, and whether the warrants meet all of the requirements for equity classification under ASC 815, including whether the warrants are indexed to the Company’s own shares of common stock, among other conditions for equity classification. This assessment, which requires the use of professional judgment, is conducted at the time of warrant issuance and as of each subsequent quarterly period end date while the warrants are outstanding. For issued or modified warrants that meet all of the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded as a component of additional paid-in non-cash | |
Recent Accounting Standards | Recent Accounting Pronouncements In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, right-of In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, 2018-19, 2016-13.

ASU 2020-06 2020-06 Other recently issued accounting standards are not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements. | |
Liquidity | Liquidity Our primary requirements for liquidity and capital are working capital, inventory management, capital expenditures, public company costs and general corporate needs. We expect these needs to continue as we develop and grow our business. Prior to the Business Combination, the Company’s available liquidity and operations were financed through equity contributions, line of credit, promissory notes and cash flow from operations. Subsequent to the Business Combination, the Company expects to fund operations through equity contributions and cash flow from operations. In the third quarter of 2022, the impacts from the Company’s inventory purchases, which began in 2021, were adversely affected by supply chain challenges which have led to lower revenue and cash flow from operating activities. To address the resulting cash flow challenges, the Company has implemented a comprehensive cost reduction and performance improvement program, including reduced headcount and elimination of certain discretionary and general and administrative expenses. As of September 30, 2022, we had cash and restricted cash of $15.8 million and $1.5 million, respectively, which consists of amounts held as bank deposits. The Company believes its existing cash and restricted cash, together with the cash we expect to generate from future operations, will be sufficient to support working capital and capital expenditure requirements for at least the next twelve months. The Company believes it has the ability to continue as a going concern. However, because we are in the growth stage of our business and operate in an emerging field of technology, we expect to continue to invest in research and development and expand our sales and marketing teams worldwide. We are likely to require additional capital to respond to technological advancements, competitive dynamics or technologies, customer demands, business opportunities, challenges, acquisitions or unforeseen circumstances and in either the short-term or long-term may determine to engage in equity or debt financings or enter into credit facilities for other reasons. If we are unable to obtain adequate financing or financing on terms satisfactory to us, when we require it, our ability to continue to grow or support our business and to respond to business challenges could be significantly limited. In particular, the widespread COVID-19 continue significant | |

Revenue Recognition | Revenue Recognition Revenue is accounted for using Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. In accordance with ASC Topic 606, the Company recognizes revenue when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to the Company’s customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration it expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. The Company determines revenue recognition through the following steps: • Identification of a contract 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 performance obligations are satisfied. A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct product. Performance obligations promised in a contract are identified based on the goods that will be transferred that are both capable of being distinct and are distinct in the context of the contract, whereby the transfer of the goods is separately identifiable from other promises in the contract. Performance obligations include establishing and maintaining customer online stores, providing access to the Company’s e-commerce The Company has concluded the sale of goods and related shipping and handling on behalf of our customers are accounted for as a single performance obligation, while the expenses incurred for actual shipping charges are included in cost of sales. The Company’s revenue is mainly commission fees derived from contractually committed gross revenue processed by customers on the Company’s e-commerce CaaS Revenue is recognized on a net basis from maintaining e-commerce Variable consideration is included in revenue for potential product returns. The Company uses an estimate to constrain revenue for the expected variable consideration at each period end. The Company reviews and updates its estimates and related accruals of variable consideration each period based on the terms of the agreements, historical experience, and expected levels of returns. Any uncertainties in the ultimate resolution of variable consideration due to factors outside of the Company’s influence are typically resolved within a short timeframe therefore not requiring any additional constraint on the variable consideration. The estimated reserve for returns is included on the balance sheet in accrued expenses with changes to the reserve in revenue on the accompanying statement of operations. The reserve for returns as of September 30, 2022 w as $0.7 million and as of December 31, 2021 was $1.8 million. In most cases the Company acts as the merchant of record, resulting in a due to client liability (discussed below). However, in some instances, the Company may perform services without being the merchant of record in which case there is a receivable from the customer. Payment terms and conditions are generally consistent for customers, including credit terms to customers ranging from seven days to 60 days, and the Company’s contracts do not include any significant financing component. The Company performs credit evaluations of customers and evaluates the need for allowances for potential credit losses based on historical experience, as well as current and expected general economic conditions. Sales taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities are accounted for on a net basis and, therefore, are excluded from net revenue in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. | |

Basis of Presentation | | Basis of Presentation and Principals of Consolidation The accompanying consolidated financial statements are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Nogin, Inc. (“Nogin” or “Company”) consolidated with the accounts of all its subsidiaries and affiliates in which Nogin holds controlling financial interests as of the financial statement date. |
Use of Estimates | | Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. The Company prepared these estimates based on the most current and best available information, but actual results could differ materially from these estimates and assumptions. Significant estimates and assumptions reflected in the financial statements include, but are not limited to, the allowance for credit losses and revenue recognition, including variable consideration for estimated reserves for returns and other allowances. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on assumptions that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for marking judgements about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. |
Income Taxes | | Income Taxes The Company is subject to federal and state corporate income taxes on its taxable income. The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method on a legal entity and jurisdictional basis, under which the Company recognizes the amount of taxes payable or refundable for the current year and deferred tax assets and liabilities for the future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the Company’s financial statements or tax returns. The Company’s calculation relies on several factors, including pre-tax Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment. The major component comprising deferred income tax assets and liabilities is net operating loss. The guidance requires that the Company determine whether the benefits of tax positions are “more likely than not” of being sustained upon audit based on the technical merits of the tax position. For tax positions that are more likely than not of being sustained upon audit, the Company recognizes the largest amount of the benefit that is more likely than not of being sustained in the financial statements. For tax positions that are not more likely than not of being sustained upon audit, the Company does not recognize any portion of the benefit in the financial statements. Additionally, the interpretation provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, disclosures, and transition. As of December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, the Company had no accruals for potential losses related to uncertain tax positions. The Company is subject to routine audits by taxing jurisdictions. The Company’s tax returns are subject to examination by U.S. Federal, state and foreign taxing jurisdictions. The Company regularly assess the potential outcomes of these examinations and any future examinations for the current or prior years. The Company recognizes tax benefits from uncertain tax positions only if (based on the technical merits of the position) it is more likely than not that the tax positions will be sustained on examination by the tax authority. The Company adjusts these tax liabilities, including related interest and penalties, based on the current facts and circumstances. The Company reports tax-related r 31, and tax returns are currently under audit by the IRS. The Company does not believe any significant impacts will result from the audit. |
Concentration of Risk | | Concentration of Risks Credit Risk Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and equity method investments. The Company maintains cash balances at financial institutions. Amounts on deposit at these institutions are secured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insurance limit. At various times, the Company has had bank deposits in excess of the FDIC’s insurance limit. The Company has not experienced any losses in its cash accounts to date. Management believes that the Company is not exposed to any significant credit risk with respect to its cash. The Com pany performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and generally does not require collateral. As of December 31, 2021, receivables from two customers amounted to $1.1 million or 15% and $5.4 million or 73% of accounts receivable.

The amendments in this update replace the existing guidance of incurred loss impairment methodology with an approach that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates. In November 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-19, 2016-13. In December 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2019-12, step-up 2019-12 In August 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2020-06 470-20) 815-40): The ASU also simplifies the diluted earnings per share (EPS) calculation in certain areas.

The Company maintains an allowance for credit losses, as deemed necessary, for estimated losses inherent in its accounts receivable portfolio. In estimating this reserve, management considers historical losses adjusted to take into account current market conditions and customers’ financial condition, the amount of receivables in dispute, and the current receivables aging and current payment patterns. Account balances are charged off against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote. The Company does not have any customers with off-balance-sheet The reserve for credit losses as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, consisted of the following (in thousands): As of December 31, 2021 2020 Balance at beginning of period $ 428 $ 379 Additions to allowance for credit losses 433 437 Cash receipts — — Write-offs (455 ) (388 ) Balance at end of period $ 406 $ 428 |

Fair Value Measurement | | Fair Value Measurement The Company applies the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures The Company applies the provisions of ASC 820 to all financial assets and liabilities and non-financial The Company defines fair value is an exit price, representing the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. Fair value is estimated by applying the following hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value into three levels and bases the categorization within the hierarchy upon the lowest level of input that is available and significant to the fair value measurement: • Level 1 - • Level 2 - • Level 3 - In determining fair value, the Company utilized valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to the extent possible as well as considers counter party credit risk and nonperformance risk in its assessment of fair value. The carrying value of the Company’s short-term financial instruments, such as cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, notes payable, and accounts payable, approximate the fair value due to the immediate or short-term maturity of these instruments. The carrying value of the Company’s long-term debt approximates fair value as the interest rate on the Company’s secured credit facility and certain other debt has a variable component, which is reflective of the market. |
Reclassifications | | Reclassifications Ce rtain reclassifications have been made to the prior year’s consolidated balance sheets to conform to the December 31, 2021 presentation.

The funds can be released and available for use by the Company when it is determined the Company no longer needs the additional credit, and can subsequently request for the funds to be released. |
Property and Equipment | | Property and Equipment Property and equipment are recorded at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets ranging from three to seven years. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Renewals and improvements of a major nature that extend the life of the asset are capitalized. At the time of retirement or other disposition of property and equipment, the cost and accumulated depreciation or amortization are removed from the accounts and any resulting gains or losses are reflected in the accompanying statement of operations. Estimated Useful Life (Years) Furniture and fixtures 5 Computer equipment and software 3 to 7 Leasehold Improvement Lesser of economic useful life (typically 10 years) or original lease term The Company evaluates the carrying value of property and equipment for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts may not be recoverable. An asset is considered to be impaired when the forecasted undiscounted cash flows of an asset group are estimated to be less than its carrying value. The amount of impairment recognized is the difference between the carrying value of the asset group and its fair value. Fair value estimates are based on assumptions concerning the amount and timing of forecasted future cash flows. Indicators of impairment could include, among other factors, significant changes in the business environment, the planned closure of a facility, or deteriorations in operating cash flows.

Capitalized Software | | Capitalized Software Th e costs related to establishing the technological feasibility of software are expensed as incurred as a part of research and development in general and administrative expenses. Costs that are incurred after technological feasibility is established are capitalized and amortized to general and administrative expenses over the estimated economic life of on The technological feasibility of software is established when the fundamental framework of the platform is created. Consideration to capitalize software development costs before this point is limited to the development costs of the software for which technological feasibility can be proven at an earlier stage. At each balance sheet date, the Company performs reviews to ensure that unamortized capitalized software costs remain recoverable from estimated future profits of the related software products. |
Long-lived Assets | | Long-lived Assets The Company reviews long-lived assets with finite lives for impairment upon the occurrence of certain events or circumstances that indicate the related amounts may be impaired. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell. The Company reviews long-lived assets to be held-and-used |
Investment in Unconsolidated Affiliates | | Investment in Unconsolidated Affiliates Investmen ts for which the Company can exercise significant influence but does not have control are accounted for under the equity method unless the Company elects the fair value option of accounting. The Company’s current investment in unconsolidated affiliates as of December 31, 2021 relates to the joint ventures, ModCloth Partners LLC (“ModCloth”) and IPCO Holdings, LLC (“IPCO”), both of which the Company owns 50% and has elected the fair value option of accounting. Changes in the fair value of the joint ventures, which are inclusive of equity in income, are recorded as changes in fair value of unconsolidated affiliates in the consolidated statements of operations during the periods such changes occur. The joint ventures were determined to be variable interest entities as the equity investment at risk is not sufficient to permit the joint ventures to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support. The |
