OMTOOL, LTD. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

 

(1) Basis of Presentation

 

Omtool, Ltd. (“Omtool” or the “Company”) provides document- and information-handling software solutions that control document-based business communications and integrate paper and electronic documents into enterprise information systems and workflows. The Company’s software products streamline the capture, conversion and communication of both paper and electronic information, enabling fast, secure and simultaneous distribution to multiple destinations in multiple formats.

 

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared by Omtool pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) regarding interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2007 as filed with the SEC as part of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K on March 28, 2008. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of results for the interim periods presented. The results of operations for the three-month period ended March 31, 2008 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year.

 

(2) Net Loss Per Share

 

The Company reports net loss per share in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 128, Earnings per Share.” Diluted weighted average shares outstanding for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2008 and March 31, 2007 exclude 475,255 and 498,055, respectively, of potential common shares from stock options and a stock warrant because to include them would have been anti-dilutive for the periods presented as the Company reported a net loss during the periods.

 

(3) Income Taxes

 

SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes,” requires a valuation allowance to be recorded against deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. As a result of cumulative losses in recent years and continued economic uncertainty, the Company has provided a full valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets and will do so until it returns to an appropriate level of sustained taxable income. The ultimate realization of these deferred tax assets depends upon the Company’s ability to generate sufficient future taxable income. If the Company is successful in generating sufficient future taxable income, the Company will reduce the valuation allowance through a reduction in income tax expense in the future.

 

Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Interpretation No. 48 “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an interpretation of FAS 109” (“FIN 48”) clarifies the criteria that an individual tax position must satisfy for some or all of the benefits of that position to be recognized in a company’s financial statements. As of March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, the Company had no unrecognized tax benefits. The Company has not, as yet, conducted a study of its R&D credit carryforwards. This study may result in an increase or decrease to the Company’s R&D credit carryforwards, however, until a study is completed and any adjustment is known, no amounts are being presented as an uncertain tax position under FIN 48. A full valuation allowance has been provided against the Company’s R&D credits and, if an adjustment is required, this adjustment would be offset by an adjustment to the valuation allowance. As a result, there would be no impact to the consolidated balance sheet, statement of operations or cash flows if an adjustment were required.

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2008 and March 31, 2007, the Company did not record an income tax benefit associated with any pre-tax loss due to the uncertainty regarding future taxable income.

 

(4) Comprehensive Loss

 

The components of the Company’s comprehensive loss are as follows:

(5) Acquisition

 

On December 29, 2006, the Company acquired all of the outstanding shares of Blue Chip Technologies Ltd. (“BlueChip”) for $562,090 in cash, $1,683,702 in a promissory note issued to BlueChip’s principal shareholder (“Seller”), 375,331 shares of the Company’s common stock (valued at $1,478,804), the issuance of vested options to purchase the Company’s common stock in substitution for outstanding BlueChip stock options (valued at $368,090), and direct acquisition costs of $563,838, which consisted primarily of financial advisory, legal and accounting services. The Company acquired BlueChip in order to strengthen and expand its presence in the healthcare vertical market.

 

The promissory note that the Company issued to the Seller of BlueChip is payable in thirty-six equal monthly installments of approximately $47,000.

 

Goodwill in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, represents the excess of the purchase price over the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets for the acquisition of BlueChip.

 

(6) Stock-based Compensation

 

The Company’s 1996 Stock Option Plan and 1997 Stock Plan, as amended, provided for the issuance of common stock pursuant to the grant to employees of “incentive stock options” within the meaning of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, the grant of nonqualified stock options, stock awards or opportunities to make direct purchases of stock in the Company to employees, consultants, directors and officers of the Company. In 1997, the Company’s Board of Directors voted that no further options would be granted or issued under the Company’s 1996 Stock Option Plan and on April 14, 2007, the Company’s 1997 Stock Plan expired. The Company’s 2007 Equity Compensation Incentive Plan (“2007 Plan”) was approved by the Board of Directors on April 16, 2007 and the Company’s shareholders at the annual meeting of shareholders on May 22, 2007. The 2007 Plan provides for the issuance of shares of common stock to employees, consultants, directors and officers of the Company much like the 1997 Stock Plan. The aggregate number of shares that can be issued pursuant to the 2007 Plan is 500,000 and any shares granted under the 2007 Plan that are canceled or expired are added back to the 2007 Plan for future issuance. As of March 31, 2008, 185,300 shares had been issued under the 2007 Plan. Shares issued pursuant to this plan are issued from treasury to the extent they are available. Stock-based compensation is accounted for in accordance with SFAS No. 123(R), “Share-Based Payment (“SFAS 123R”).

 

During the three-month periods ended March 31, 2008 and March 31, 2007, the Company incurred stock-based compensation expense for restricted common stock (“restricted stock”) and stock options. The Company also incurred stock-based compensation expense for the employee stock purchase plan (the “ESPP”) during the three-month period ended March 31, 2007. The ESPP was terminated on July 1, 2007.

Stock Options

 

Under the terms of the Company’s 1996 Stock Option Plan and 1997 Stock Plan, options vest and become exercisable as determined by the Board of Directors and expire 10 years after the date of grant. Stock option compensation expense calculated under the fair value approach is recognized ratably over the four-year vesting period. The fair value for granted options was estimated at the time of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. During the three-month periods ended March 31, 2008 and March 31, 2007, the Company recognized $182 and $3,353, respectively, of stock-based compensation expense related to stock options. As of March 31, 2008, there was no unrecognized stock-based compensation

expense related to stock options. The Company did not grant any stock options during the three-month periods ended March 31, 2008 and March 31, 2007.

 

Restricted Common Stock

 

Prior to April 14, 2007, the Company sold shares of restricted stock under the Company’s 1997 Stock Plan, as amended, to its Board of Directors and certain employees of the Company at a price per share of $0.01. The Company has continued to issue shares of restricted stock in a similar manner under the 2007 Plan. The shares of restricted stock vest ratably over a three- or four-year service period. In the event that a restricted stockholder ceases to provide services to the Company prior to the vesting of any of the then unvested shares held by that stockholder, the restricted stockholder is required to sell any unvested shares of restricted stock back to the Company at the original purchase price of $0.01 per share. Restricted stock-based compensation expense calculated under the fair value approach is based upon the current stock price and is recognized ratably over the three- or four-year vesting period. Based upon historical information and management’s estimate of future voluntary turnover rates, the Company has calculated this expense based on an annualized estimated forfeiture rate of 12%. The Company trues-up estimated forfeitures to actual forfeitures at the end of each reporting period. During the three months ended March 31, 2008, the Company sold 164,800 shares of restricted stock to its Board of Directors and certain employees of the Company at a price of $.01 per share under the Company’s 2007 Plan. During the three months ended March 31, 2007, the Company sold 128,675 shares of restricted stock, under the Company’s 1997 Stock Plan, as amended, to its Board of Directors and certain employees of the Company at a price per share of $0.01.

The lease has a five year term which expires on May 31, 2011 and is payable in 60 equal monthly installments. The interest rate on the capital lease is 6.2%. Total interest payments over the life of the lease are estimated to be $99,000.

 

The lease contained a provision whereby the Company would be required to immediately repay the outstanding principal balance should the Company’s cash balance ever be less than $5,000,000. On August 6, 2007, the Company entered into an amendment to the aforementioned capital lease which lowered the Company’s required minimum cash balance to $2,100,000. In addition, on August 30, 2007, the Company entered into a pledge and security agreement with the capital financing provider that requires a minimum balance of cash and cash equivalents of no less than $250,000 (“pledged collateral”) and in the event that Company’s cash balance falls below $250,000 the Company will immediately provide the

amount necessary to cover such shortfall to the capital financing provider. In the event of default in maintaining the required amount of pledged collateral or the making of any lease payments, the pledged collateral will first be used as payment for costs and expenses incurred to enforce the security and pledge agreement and second for payment in full of the outstanding principal loan balance. The minimum required cash balance of $2,100,000 includes the pledged collateral. As of March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, the pledged collateral of $250,000 is restricted cash and has been classified as “other assets” in the accompanying balance sheet.

 

(9) Note Payable

 

On December 29, 2006, the Company issued a promissory note in the amount of $1,683,702 to the principal shareholder of BlueChip in partial consideration of all the outstanding shares of BlueChip (See Note 5). The note is payable in thirty-six equal monthly principal installments of approximately $47,000 plus interest, commencing on March 30, 2007. The promissory note bears interest on the unpaid principal amount at a rate per annum equal to (a) the Prime Rate as set forth in the Wall Street Journal Money Rates column on the last business day of each month, which rate shall be deemed to be in effect for the entirety of such month; plus (b) one percent. During the three months ended March 31, 2008, the Company made total payments of approximately $163,000, consisting of principal payments totaling $140,000 and accumulated interest of $23,000, based upon an average interest rate of  7.42%.

 

(10) Restructuring Costs

 

In March 2007, the Company announced a restructuring of certain of its operations and reduced its workforce by twelve employees. In addition, ten other positions were eliminated during the first quarter of fiscal year 2007. As a result of these activities, the Company recorded a pre-tax charge of $212,802 during the three-month period ended March 31, 2007 in accordance with SFAS No. 146, “Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities. The charge included $177,630 of severance-related costs associated with a total workforce reduction of approximately twenty-two positions and $35,172 as a result of closing BlueChip’s former headquarters located in Danvers, Massachusetts.

 

The total cash impact of the restructuring was $212,802; the remaining balance of $148,913 was paid during the second quarter of fiscal year 2007 and is included in accrued liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2007.

 

(11) Segment and Geographic Information

 

To date, the Company has viewed its operations and manages its business as principally one segment: software, hardware and media sales, and associated services. As a result, the financial information disclosed herein represents all of the material financial information related to the Company’s principal operating segment in accordance with SFAS No. 131, Disclosures About Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information.”

 

Total revenue from international sources was approximately $672,000 and $1,055,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations for the three months ended March 31, 2008 should be read in conjunction with the accompanying consolidated financial statements for the periods specified and the associated notes. Further reference should be made to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007, as filed with the SEC on March 28, 2008.

 

Overview

 

We are a provider of document- and information-handling software solutions that control document-based business communications and integrate paper and electronic documents into enterprise information systems and workflows. Our software products streamline the capture, conversion and communication of both paper and electronic information, enabling fast, secure and simultaneous distribution to multiple destinations in multiple formats.

 

Business

 

We are now benefiting from the investments we have made in our flagship product, AccuRoute®, since its inception in 2004, as total AccuRoute revenue has grown by approximately 24% in the first quarter of 2008 compared to the same period in 2007 and now accounts for 60% of our total revenue. Our gains in AccuRoute revenue have surpassed the declines in revenue from our legacy fax business. While our growing revenue indicates the success of our strategic plan, we still have challenges to address as we seek to expand our business, including expanding our sales in the legal and professional services, healthcare and financial services vertical markets; promoting our products and technologies through reseller and marketing relationships with leading multi-function device providers; and improving our results outside of the Americas. Although we achieved profitability for the quarter ended December 31, 2007, we have incurred quarterly losses from the quarter ended September 30, 2005 to the quarter ended September 30, 2007 as well as the quarter ended March 31, 2008, and may continue to incur losses in future quarters.

 

We experienced the benefit of cost cutting measures associated with the restructurings we undertook in 2007, as our operating expenses decreased by approximately $907,000 (excluding the $212,802 restructuring charge incurred in the first quarter of 2007) in the three months ended March 31, 2008 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2007. This combined with an increase in revenue of $119,000 for the same period led to our net loss decreasing from $1.9 million in the three months ended March 31, 2007, to $495,000 in the three months ended March 31, 2008.

 

In light of our current and historical operating results and the continuing challenges we face, and in order to maximize shareholder value, we are in an ongoing process of examining our operations as well as our strategic and financial alternatives. The strategic and financial alternatives we may consider could include a variety of different business arrangements including, but not limited to: combinations with or a sale to another entity; equity or debt financings; strategic partnerships and joint ventures; the sale or spin off of certain assets; the acquisition of complementary businesses, technologies or product lines; investments in new businesses; reorganization, recapitalization, or distribution alternatives; deregistering as a public company; or other alternatives. We have engaged the investment banking firm of America’s Growth Capital to assist us with the exploration of strategic and financial alternatives. Changes, if any, implemented as a result of the strategic and financial alternatives review could affect the basic nature of our Company. For example, deregistering our common stock from the public company requirements under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) could have an adverse effect on the market price of our common stock and would likely mean that there would be less information about us available to shareholders and potential investors than what is currently contained in the periodic reports we file pursuant to the Exchange Act.

 

Products

 

AccuRoute, our flagship product, provides faster, more efficient document workflows and increased worker productivity, while reducing cost, complexity and the risk of losing documents. We also include full enterprise fax capabilities integrated within our AccuRoute product. These solutions are used worldwide by businesses in document-intensive industries and sectors (such as legal and professional services, financial services, government and healthcare) that demand secure handling, integration and tracking of documents in full compliance with a range of regulatory requirements. Companies can deploy our software products on heterogeneous, multi-platform networks, digital scanning devices and multi-function peripherals and integrate them with both desktop and enterprise software applications. To address customer needs, our products are modular and scaleable. As a result, customers can add additional communication capacity through the addition of system components and connectors to keep pace with growing demands. In addition, due to this scalable, modular

 

10



 

design, customers can add additional Omtool product servers to a configuration to provide failover redundancy, helping to ensure continuous operation.

 

Our GenifaxTM product is a multi-tiered client/server solution for automating and integrating fax communication throughout an enterprise. As a component of an enterprise software system, our Genifax product is deployed on heterogeneous, multi-platform networks and integrates with desktop and enterprise software applications.

 

Our GenidocsTM product is a client/server messaging application that enables users to deliver documents through the Internet with comprehensive security and tracking to external parties. Genidocs offers the security features and functionality of traditional, paper-based communications with the speed, efficiency and cost advantages of electronic communications.

 

Fax Sr., our legacy network fax product, is a client/server software solution for automating and integrating fax communication throughout an enterprise. As an integrated component of an enterprise software system, our Fax Sr. product is deployed on heterogeneous, multi-platform networks and integrates with desktop and enterprise software applications.

 

We continue to maintain Genidocs and Fax Sr. and earn recurring maintenance revenue from our installed base, although we have not sold these products in recent periods. At this time, however, we do not have plans to extend these technologies with new features or new releases.

 

We resell certain hardware products (such as intelligent fax boards) and media products (such as admission labels and patient wristbands), which we purchase from third-party vendors as a convenience to our customers, who alternatively can opt to obtain hardware and media directly from third-party vendors. We sell support contracts for the software products that we license to our customers and offer certain consulting, training, installation and implementation services for our products.

 

Omtool Healthcare Suite

 

Our December 2006 acquisition of BlueChip brought into our product family document workflow solutions for the healthcare vertical market, which we combined with our AccuRoute technology to create the Omtool Healthcare Suite of products.

 

The Omtool Healthcare Suite streamlines the registration, inpatient care and post-discharge reimbursement cycles through sophisticated document imaging and workflow for hospital admissions and billing functions.

 

·                     ADT eForms™ - a production system that provides hospitals with on-demand ADT (admissions, discharge and transfer) electronic forms for registration and patient identification.

 

·                     eForms Station™ - an electronic forms library that gives immediate access to a hospital’s custom library of electronic and printable forms.

 

·                     Image-In™ Point of Service - an image capture system that scans images of common non-clinical documents such as insurance cards, driver’s licenses, referral forms and HIPAA notices and displays them on a desktop paneled window.

 

·                     Image-In Business - a document and form capture system that converts paper-based business documents to electronic records.

 

·                     Image-In Clinical - a medical records scan facility that enables users to capture fully the entire patient file after discharge.

 

·                     Image-In Queue - a document viewer that enables administrators to manage, view and disseminate electronic documents to the proper departments and/or patient files.

 

·                     AccuRoute - a document-handling platform that supports distributed document capture for scanning, routing and archiving medical information throughout the patient service cycle and provides document distribution into the document workflow products found in Omtool’s Healthcare Suite.

 

·                     ObjectArchive™ - an electronic archive that provides the foundation to securely store information designed, developed and captured through any of the Omtool Healthcare Suite products.

Vertical Market Focus

 

While AccuRoute’s features are horizontal in nature, they apply to many different vertical markets, including the legal and professional services, healthcare and financial services vertical markets. We continue to add extensions to AccuRoute that provide the greater functionality that is critical to many of our customers. To provide more effective document and information-handling solutions, we continue to advance our document processing functionality while incrementally adding support for electronic information systems such as e-mail systems, enterprise content management systems, records management systems and archival systems. Earlier this year, we released Omtool Swiftwriter Plug-In for Adobe 3.0, a free, one-click solution that integrates Adobe PDF documents with popular document management systems such as OpenText/Hummingbird or Interwoven WorkSite. Swiftwriter for Adobe simplifies the opening, closing and check-in/check-out processes for users. We offer a set of tailored support options to generate revenue in this market.

 

We aim to extend our position as a provider of enterprise-class document-handling software solutions and become a leading provider of electronic document exchange solutions that capture, process and distribute paper or electronically formatted documents. To reinforce the Omtool brand in enterprise-class document handling and exchange solutions, while maintaining our strong position as an enterprise-level fax software provider, we intend to take advantage of our penetration of the legal and professional services vertical market, extend our presence in the healthcare vertical market and broaden our customer base, industry partnerships and extensive knowledge of enterprise content management.

 

While we have invested considerable resources to penetrate further the financial services vertical market and have created and are pursuing opportunities within that vertical market, we have found that sales opportunities for our AccuRoute product in that vertical market, though significant, are longer term opportunities. Therefore, while we will continue to pursue these opportunities, primarily working with our large strategic and channel partners, we believe the best opportunities for replicating our successes in the legal and professional services vertical market are in the healthcare vertical market. Similar to our views on the legal and professional services vertical market and based on the high level of focus by healthcare providers on electronic medical records, we see a significant opportunity to present AccuRoute as the solution of choice to the challenge of capturing the paper documents that are endemic in healthcare systems.

 

Operating Results

 

Our revenue consists primarily of software license revenue, hardware and media revenue, and service and other revenue, all as further described below. The following table is a presentation of our total revenue for the periods indicated:

During the three months ended March 31, 2008 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2007, our revenue increased by approximately $119,000 and our net loss decreased by approximately $1.5 million. Our gross profit for the three months ended March 31, 2008 increased by approximately $312,000 as compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year due primarily to an increase in software license revenue and a decrease in cost of sales for service and other related to the restructuring we undertook in the first quarter of last year.

 

The increase in total revenue of approximately $119,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2008 as compared to the same period in 2007 was primarily due to an increase in software license revenue from our customers in the healthcare and legal and professional services vertical markets. As a result of this and our continued success in the legal and professional services vertical market, for the quarter ended March 31, 2008 we experienced a 20% increase in software license revenue led by a 31% increase in AccuRoute software license revenue as compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year. This increase in AccuRoute software license revenue was offset by a 40% decrease in our legacy fax product software license revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2008 as compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year. We continue to experience general market acceptance of our AccuRoute product in the legal and professional services vertical market while the demand for and our marketing of our legacy fax product has continued to decrease.

 

Any decrease in demand for our products would likely result in decreased revenue, which would, in turn, have a significant negative impact on our financial results because a significant portion of our operating costs such as personnel, rent and depreciation costs are fixed in advance of a particular quarter. As a result, the costs we incur for sales and marketing,

 

12



 

research and development, and general and administrative could continue to increase as a percentage of our revenue, thereby negatively affecting our operating results.

 

Sales from our European operations, which were in a steady decline for several years, increased by 29% during the twelve months ended December 31, 2007 as compared to twelve months ended December 31, 2006. Although we experienced a 20% decrease in revenue in the first quarter of 2008 compared to the first quarter of 2007, we remain optimistic that we will continue to see improvements outside the Americas. For now, however, we will rely primarily on our U.S. sales organization for our shorter-term growth. We will continue to leverage our European AccuRoute base and indirect channel relationships to focus sales resources on the overseas legal and financial services vertical markets. However, we expect that in the short-term, U.S. sales are likely to constitute a greater percentage of revenue than sales outside the U.S. and there can be no assurances that we will be able to increase international sales of our products. This failure to increase international sales may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

Our United Kingdom subsidiary, Omtool Europe Limited, transacts business primarily in its local currency. We then translate results generated by that entity into United States dollars and consolidate them with our domestic results for reporting purposes. As we make sales to customers in a variety of countries, significant currency exchange rate fluctuations could have a material impact on our results of operations. Foreign currency exposure has not been material to our financial position or results of operations to date. If the volume of our business denominated in foreign currencies increases, we may be required to use derivatives to hedge foreign currency exposure.

We will continue to leverage our existing distribution channels, where appropriate, to broaden our reach to our target vertical markets and further penetrate our installed base. We are pursuing sales opportunities via our solution/reseller channels, as well as focusing sales efforts on specific market segments, in order to facilitate acceptance of our products. However, as shown in the following table, in recent periods, more of our sales resources have been focused on selling directly to our customers and we have consequently derived a significant portion of our revenue from direct sales:

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

We have identified the policies and estimates below as critical to our business operations and the understanding of our results of operations. The impact and any associated risks related to these policies on our reported and expected financial results and business operations are discussed in appropriate sections throughout Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. Our preparation of this Form 10-Q required us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements included herein and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the period covered by this report. There can be no assurance that actual results will not differ materially from those estimates.

 

Revenue Recognition and Accounts Receivable Reserves. We derive our revenue primarily from two sources: (i) product revenue, which includes software license, hardware and media revenue, and (ii) service and support revenue,

 

13



 

which includes software maintenance and support, installation, implementation, training and consulting revenue. We license our software products on a perpetual basis. We generate revenue from licensing the rights to use our software products and sales of hardware directly to end-users and indirectly through resellers. Our resellers order products from us based on purchase orders received from end-users and do not order stock. We generally sell our products to resellers and directly to end-users without any specifically stated rights of return. Occasionally, however, in our sole discretion, we will accept a product return if the end-user finds that the product does not fit its needs. We sell hardware and media products, which are provided by a third-party, at cost plus an additional mark-up, directly to end-users and, in the case of hardware, indirectly through resellers as well. The hardware products that we resell are not functional without our software. To support our software products, we sell software maintenance and support, installation, implementation, training and consulting services directly to end-users and indirectly through resellers.

 

We apply the provisions of Statement of Position (“SOP”) 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition,” as amended by SOP 98-9, Modification of SOP 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition with Respect to Certain Transactions” (“SOP 98-9”), to all transactions involving the sale of multiple elements including software, hardware and service revenue. We apply the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) 48, Revenue Recognition When Right of Return Exists,” with respect to providing for potential future product returns. As described below, we must make and use significant judgments and estimates in connection with the revenue recognized in any accounting period. Material differences may have resulted in the amount and timing of our revenue if we had made different judgments or utilized different estimates.

 

We recognize revenue from the sale of software products, hardware and media to both end-users and resellers when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the products have been delivered, the fee is fixed or determinable, collection of the resulting receivable is probable and there are no uncertainties regarding customer acceptance. We maintain a reserve for potential product returns. We sell monthly, annual and multiple-year maintenance contracts and the revenue associated therewith is recognized over the term of the related maintenance period, beginning on the date of delivery. We recognize other service revenue as we perform the associated services. If an arrangement includes an acceptance provision and acceptance is uncertain, then we will defer all revenue until the customer accepts the products it purchased. Acceptance in these instances generally occurs upon the earlier of receipt of a written customer acceptance or expiration of the acceptance period. If an arrangement includes an acceptance provision tied to determination that our product meets published specifications and there are no uncertainties with regard to the customer’s acceptance, then we will recognize revenue at the time of sale, provided that all of the other previously mentioned revenue recognition criteria have been met and the acceptance period is of short duration.

 

Our transactions frequently involve the sale of software, hardware and related services under multiple element arrangements. Revenue under multiple element arrangements is allocated to each element, to the extent vendor specific objective evidence of fair value exists, under the residual method, in accordance with SOP 98-9. Under this method, revenue is allocated first to all undelivered elements, such as services, based on the fair value of those elements, which is calculated to be the price charged when these elements are sold separately and unaccompanied by other elements. Our services generally are not essential to the functionality of the software, as these services do not alter the capabilities of the software and do not carry a significant degree of risk to perform. The amount allocated to the delivered elements, such as software license and hardware revenue, is the difference between the total arrangement value and the amount allocated to the undelivered elements. If the delivered elements include both software and hardware, the amount allocated to hardware revenue is based on the price charged to us by the third party vendor plus an additional mark up, with the remainder allocated to software revenue. To the extent that a discount is offered in the arrangement, the entire discount is allocated to the delivered element or elements. If the delivered elements include hardware and software, the discount is allocated to the hardware and software based on their respective list prices.

 

For all sales, we use a binding purchase order, a signed contract, or a credit card authorization as evidence of an arrangement. Sales through our resellers are evidenced by a master agreement governing the relationship between us and the reseller, together with binding purchase orders on a transaction-by-transaction basis.

 

At the time of a transaction, we assess whether the fee associated with the transaction is fixed or determinable and whether or not collection is probable. If a significant portion of a fee is due beyond our normal payment terms, which are thirty to ninety days from invoice date, we account for the fee as not being fixed or determinable. In these cases, we recognize revenue as the fees become due. We assess collectibility based on a number of factors, including past transaction history with the customer and the creditworthiness of the customer. We review Dunn & Bradstreet credit reports for our resellers and adjust our credit limits with those resellers accordingly. If a particular reseller does not have a favorable report or if we do not have enough credit information to determine if the reseller is credit-worthy then we typically sell to that reseller on cash on delivery terms. We do not request collateral from our customers. If we determine that collection of a fee is

 

14



 

not reasonably assured, the fee is deferred and revenue is recognized at the time collection becomes probable, which is generally upon receipt of payment.

 

We maintain reserves for potential product returns and make adjustments to these reserves as needed based on historical product return rates. We also consider the impact of new product introductions, changes in customer demand and acceptance of our products on the adequacy of these reserves. Our calculation of the estimated return reserve is based upon (1) an account specific review of potential returns, where a return probability is known, and (2) an estimate based upon past historical returns as a percentage of revenue. We must make and use significant judgments and estimates in connection with establishing the product returns reserve in any accounting period. Material differences may have resulted in the amount and timing of revenue for this or any prior period if we made different judgments or utilized different estimates.

 

As with the product return reserve, we must make estimates of our ability to collect on our accounts receivable. We record trade accounts receivable at the invoiced amount and these accounts do not bear interest. We specifically analyze accounts receivable, historical bad debts, customer credit-worthiness, current economic trends and changes in customer payment patterns when evaluating the adequacy of our allowance for doubtful accounts. We review our allowance for doubtful accounts on a monthly basis. Our calculation of the estimated accounts receivable reserve is also based upon (1) an account-specific review of potential uncollectible accounts, where a bad debt probability is known; and (2) an estimate based upon past historical bad debts as a percentage of accounts receivable. We do not have any off-balance-sheet credit exposure to our customers.

 

Our combined accounts receivable and product returns reserve was $49,000 and $45,000 on March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively. Both components of calculating the estimated reserve—specific identification and historic experience—are material judgments that we make. We base these judgments on historic trends, taking into consideration current business and economic conditions, which could change materially, thus changing the required reserve level materially. The potential change to the size of our required reserve could be positive in the event the reserve estimate proves unnecessary, or negative, if the reserve proves inadequate.

 

Our deferred revenue is comprised mainly of revenue that is deferred for software maintenance and support contracts as well as sales of our products targeted to the healthcare vertical market that involve both the sale of software and implementation services for which the implementation services have not yet been performed. The other components of deferred revenue are amounts from sales transactions that were deferred because they did not meet all of the provisions of our revenue recognition policy.

 

Software Development Costs. We consider software development costs for capitalization when technological feasibility is established in accordance with SFAS No. 86, Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software To Be Sold, Leased or Otherwise Marketed.” We sell software in a market that is subject to rapid technological change, new product introductions and changing customer needs. Accordingly, we have determined that we cannot ascertain technological feasibility until the development state of the product is nearly complete. The time period during which cost could be capitalized from the point of reaching technological feasibility until the time of general product release is very short and, consequently, the amounts that might be capitalized are not material to our consolidated financial position or results of operations. Therefore, we charge all software development costs to operations in the period incurred.

 

Goodwill and Intangible Assets. We account for goodwill in accordance with SFAS No. 142 “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” (“SFAS 142”). Goodwill represents the excess of purchase price in a business combination over the fair value of net tangible and intangible assets acquired. In accordance with SFAS 142, goodwill amounts are not amortized, but rather are tested for impairment at least annually. Intangible assets that are not considered to have an indefinite useful life are amortized over their useful lives, which range from three to ten years.

 

We account for intangible assets in accordance with SFAS No. 144 “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Asset.” Intangible assets include customer contracts and relationships, purchased technology, trade names and non-compete agreements. The carrying amount of the intangible assets is reviewed whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of these intangible assets is measured by comparison of the carrying amount of the asset to the future undiscounted cash flows the asset is expected to generate. If the intangible asset is considered to be impaired, the amount of any impairment is measured as the difference between the carrying value and the fair value of the impaired asset.

 

We account for business combinations in accordance with SFAS No. 141, “Business Combinations (“SFAS 141”), which requires the use of the purchase method of accounting for business combinations. In accordance with SFAS 141, we determine the recognition of intangible assets based on the following criteria: (i) the intangible asset arises from contractual

 

15


 


 

or other rights; or (ii) the intangible is separable or divisible from the acquired entity and capable of being sold, transferred, licensed, returned or exchanged. In accordance with SFAS 141, we allocate the purchase price of our business combinations to the tangible assets, liabilities and intangible assets acquired, including in-process research and development, based on their estimated fair values. The excess purchase price over those fair values is recorded as goodwill.

 

Stock Based Compensation. We account for stock-based compensation in accordance with SFAS No. 123(R), “Share-Based Payment” (“SFAS 123R”), using the modified prospective method. SFAS 123R requires us to measure the cost of employee services in exchange for an award of an equity instrument based on the grant-date fair value of the award and to recognize expense over the requisite service period. Compensation expense is recognized for (a) all share-based payments granted after the effective date and (b) all awards granted to employees prior to the effective date that remain unvested on the effective date. We calculate this expense based upon an annualized estimated forfeiture rate determined by historical information and management’s estimate of future voluntary turnover rates and we true-up estimated forfeitures to actual at the end of each reporting period.

 

On November 10, 2005, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Staff Position FAS 123R-3 “Transition Election Related to Accounting for Tax Effects of Share-Based Payment Awards.” The Company elected to adopt the alternative transition method provided by the FASB Staff Position for calculating the tax effects (if any) of stock-based compensation expense pursuant to SFAS 123R. The alternative transition method includes simplified methods to establish the beginning balance of the additional paid-in capital pool related to the tax effects of employee stock-based compensation and to determine the subsequent impact to the additional paid-in-capital pool and the consolidated statements of operations and cash flows of the tax effects of employee stock-based compensation awards that are outstanding upon adoption of SFAS 123R.

 

Taxes. We are required to estimate our income and state sales taxes. This process involves estimating our actual current tax obligations, while also assessing differences resulting from the different treatment of items for tax and accounting purposes that result in deferred income tax assets and liabilities and accrued state sales tax liabilities. We include deferred income tax assets and liabilities and accrued state sales tax liabilities in our consolidated balance sheet.

 

We assess our deferred tax assets for each reporting period to determine whether it is more likely than not that we will recover from future taxable income. In making this assessment, we include assumptions regarding ongoing tax planning strategies. We establish a valuation allowance for assets when their recovery is not certain. We include changes to the valuation allowance as an expense or benefit within the tax provision in our statement of operations.

 

We provide a full valuation allowance against all of our net deferred tax assets and will continue to do so until we return to an appropriate level of sustained taxable income. The ultimate realization of these deferred tax assets depends upon our ability to generate sufficient future taxable income. If we are successful in generating sufficient future taxable income, we will reduce the valuation allowance through a reduction in income tax expense in the future.

 

FASB Interpretation No. 48 “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an interpretation of FAS 109” clarifies the criteria that an individual tax position must satisfy for some or all of the benefits of that position to be recognized in a company’s financial statements. As of March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, the Company had no unrecognized tax benefits.

 

We estimate accrued state sales taxes for each reporting period based on tax rates in effect for the reporting periods in each of the states where we have a potential nexus and for the time period during which we have that nexus. The assumptions and estimates used to determine this liability are subject to change as they are difficult to measure or value. In the event that actual results differ from these estimates, our state sales taxes expense could be materially impacted.

 

New Accounting Pronouncements

 

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“SFAS No. 157”), which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 applies to other existing accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 does not require any new fair value measurements. However, the application of this statement may change the current practice for fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. However, in February 2008, the FASB issued a final Staff Position to allow filers to defer the effective date of SFAS No. 157 for one year for nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a nonrecurring basis. The FASB Staff Position does not defer recognition and disclosure requirements for financial assets and financial liabilities or for nonfinancial

 

16



 

assets and nonfinancial liabilities that are remeasured at least annually. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this statement will have on its financial position and results of operations.

 

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141R “Business Combinations (“SFAS 141R”), which improves the relevance, representational faithfulness and comparability of the information that a reporting entity provides in its financial reports about a business combination and its effects. SFAS 141R applies prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. We will adopt this statement once it is effective and applicable. SFAS 141R will not have an impact on our financial position or results of operations.

 

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements—an amendment of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51” (“SFAS 160”). SFAS 160 clarifies the classification in a company’s consolidated balance sheet and the accounting for and disclosure of transactions between the company and holders of noncontrolling interests. SFAS 160 is effective for us as of January 1, 2009. Early adoption is not permitted. We do not expect the adoption of SFAS 160 to have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.

Revenue

 

Software License.  During the three months ended March 31, 2008, we experienced an increase in our software license revenue as compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year, primarily due to a 31% increase in revenue from sales of our AccuRoute product, which was offset by a decrease in revenue from sales of our legacy fax products. We continue to experience general market acceptance of our AccuRoute product in the legal and professional services vertical market while the demand for and our marketing of our legacy fax product has continued to decrease.

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2008, our software license revenue by product category, as compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year, was as follows:

Cost of Revenue

 

Software License.  Cost of software license revenue consists primarily of the costs we incur in sublicensing third-party software products, purchasing product media and contracting for product duplication, as well as the amortization of purchased technology. Cost of software license revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2008 decreased as compared to the corresponding period in the previous fiscal year. This decrease is due primarily to a change in the mix of software license products sold, resulting in lower royalty fees. As a result of the decrease in the cost of software license revenue that we incurred during the first quarter of 2008, we incurred an increase in our software license gross margin percentage. We do not expect significant changes in our cost software license revenue for the remainder of fiscal year 2008.

Hardware and Media.  Cost of hardware and media revenue consists primarily of the costs we incur in purchasing third-party hardware and media products. During the first quarter of 2008, we experienced a decrease in cost of hardware and media revenue due to a decline in our hardware and media sales. Our hardware and media gross margin percentage increased during the quarter ended March 31, 2008 as compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year due to a favorable change in the mix of particular hardware and media products that we sold. We do not expect significant changes in hardware and media gross margin percentage for the remainder of fiscal year 2008.

Service and Other.  Cost of service and other revenue consists primarily of the costs we incur in providing telephone support, installation, training and other miscellaneous customer service-related expenses. Cost of service and other revenue decreased in absolute dollars and the service and other revenue gross margin increased during the first three months of 2008 as compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year. The decrease in absolute dollars and increase in gross margin is primarily due to a reduction in wages, consulting and travel expenses as a result of our March 2007 restructuring plan. We expect our service and other gross margin to remain relatively consistent on a quarterly basis for the remainder of fiscal year 2008.

Operating Expenses

 

Sales and Marketing.  Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of employee salaries, benefits, commissions and associated overhead costs, as well as the cost of marketing programs such as direct mailings, public relations, trade shows, seminars and related communication costs. Sales and marketing expenses decreased in absolute dollars and decreased as a percentage of total revenue in the first quarter of 2008 as compared to the same period in 2007 due to the adoption of our March 2007 restructuring plan which resulted in decreased wages, consulting and marketing program expenditures. We expect our sales and marketing expenses to increase in absolute dollars on a quarterly basis for the remainder of fiscal year 2008 as we seek to expand our business.

Research and Development.  Research and development expenses include expenses associated with the development of new products, enhancements of existing products and quality assurance activities. These expenses consist primarily of employee salaries, benefits, associated overhead costs, consulting expenses and the cost of software development tools. For the quarter ended March 31, 2008, our research and development expenses decreased in absolute dollars and as a percentage of total revenue as compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year due to a reduction in headcount from the March 2007 restructuring plan which resulted in decreased wages and other costs associated with supporting those employees as well as a reduction in consulting expenses. We do not expect significant changes in our research and development expenses for the remainder of fiscal year 2008.

General and Administrative.  General and administrative expenses consist primarily of employee salaries, benefits for administrative, executive and finance personnel, and associated corporate, general and administrative expenses. In the most recently completed fiscal quarter, our general and administrative expenses decreased in absolute dollars and as a percentage of total revenue as compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year due to a reduction in headcount for our European operations resulting from our March 2007 restructuring plan. To a lesser extent, general and administrative expenses decreased due to a reduction in accounting and legal expenses and in consulting expenses as a result of higher fees in 2007 related to the review of our existing commercial and licensing agreements and more work associated with our year-end regulatory filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. We expect our general and administrative expenses to decrease in absolute dollars during the remainder of fiscal year 2008.

Restructuring Costs.  In March 2007, we announced a restructuring of certain of our operations and reduced our workforce. As a result of these cost reduction activities, we recorded a pre-tax charge of $212,802 which charge included $177,630 of severance-related costs and $35,172 of costs relating to the closing of BlueChip’s former headquarters.

Interest and Other Income and Interest Expense.  Interest income consists primarily of interest income earned on cash and cash equivalent balances. Interest and other income decreased in the first three months of 2008 compared to the same period in 2007 due to a lower average interest rate earned during the period.

 

Interest expense represents the interest associated with the capital lease for the purchase of furniture and equipment for our headquarters as well as interest expense associated with the promissory note issued to the seller of BlueChip. Interest expense decreased in the first quarter of 2008 compared to the first quarter in 2007 due to a decrease in the interest rate on the promissory note issued to the seller of BlueChip.

 

We expect interest and other income and interest expense to remain relatively stable for each quarter of the remainder of fiscal year 2008.

Income Tax Benefit.  We did not record an income tax benefit associated with any pre-tax loss for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2008 or 2007 due to uncertainty regarding future taxable income.

 

Inflation

 

During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2006 and 2007 and the three months ended March 31, 2008, neither inflation nor changing prices have had a material impact on our net sales, revenue or income from continuing operations.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Since 1996, we have financed our operations primarily through cash flow from operations, private sales of securities and our initial public offering. As of March 31, 2008, we had cash and cash equivalents of $2.4 million and a net working capital deficit of $2.5 million. We believe that our existing cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient to meet our working capital, capital expenditures and other liquidity requirements for at least the next twelve months.

Our operating activities provided cash of $277,000 and used cash of $642,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. We believe that the resources we are allocating to improve the success of our AccuRoute product in the legal and professional services vertical market and its expansion into the healthcare and financial services vertical markets will continue to put pressure on our earnings and liquidity during the remainder of 2008, but that our existing cash is sufficient for at least the next twelve months.

 

Net cash provided by operating activities during the three months ended March 31, 2008 consisted primarily of an increase in accrued liabilities and deferred revenue as well as the non-cash effects of depreciation and amortization and stock-based compensation for the vesting of restricted stock shares, offset in part by the net loss from operations. The increase in accrued liabilities is due to the timing of payroll payments and the increase in deferred revenue is due to the increase in software maintenance contracts sold during the first quarter of 2008.

 

Net cash used during the three months ended March 31, 2007 consisted primarily of a net loss from operations and a decrease in accounts payable, offset in part by an increase in deferred revenue and accrued liabilities, as well as by the non-cash effects of depreciation and amortization and stock-based compensation, predominately for vesting of restricted stock shares.

 

Investing activities used cash of $4,000 and $690,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The sole use of cash for investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2008 was for the purchase of equipment. The primary use of cash for investing activities during the first quarter of 2007 was the $562,090 cash payment made to the Seller of BlueChip as part of the purchase consideration for BlueChip and for additional legal and accounting fees related to the acquisition of BlueChip.

 

Financing activities used cash of $157,000 and $13,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2008 and March 31, 2007, respectively. The primary use of cash for the first quarter of 2008 was for the repayment of the note payable to the Seller of BlueChip and for the repayment of capital lease obligations. The primary use of cash during the three months ended March 31, 2007 was for the repayment of capital lease obligations.

 

21



 

Based on our performance for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and current expectations for fiscal year 2008, we believe that our current cash and cash equivalents balance will be sufficient to satisfy our working capital needs and other liquidity requirements associated with our operations through at least the next twelve months. We expect that principal uses of cash will be for operations, repayment of capital lease obligations and notes payable. However, it is possible that we will seek additional financing and there can be no assurance that any necessary additional financing will be available to us on commercially reasonable terms, or at all. The issuance of additional equity or equity-related securities would be dilutive to our stockholders. If we cannot raise funds on acceptable terms, or at all, we may not be able to develop or enhance our products or respond appropriately to competitive pressures, which would seriously limit our ability to increase our revenue and grow our business.

We do not have any relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, such as entities often referred to as structured finance or special purpose entities, that would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements (as that term is defined in Item 303(a)(4)(ii) of Regulation S-K) or other contractually narrow or limited purposes. As such, we are not exposed to any financing, liquidity, market or credit risk that could arise if we had engaged in those types of relationships.

 

Item 4.  Controls and Procedures

 

(a)                   Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures.

 

As of March 31, 2008 (the “Evaluation Date”), the Company, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) promulgated under the Exchange Act . Based upon that evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of the Evaluation Date, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective in ensuring that information relating to the Company (including its consolidated subsidiaries) required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, including ensuring that this information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

(b)                  Changes in internal control over financial reporting

 

There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the Company’s fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2008 or in other factors that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
