1.    Nature of Business

We develop and sell computer software that provides secure information exchange, transfer and sharing capabilities for enterprises and consumers. Our primary business is selling and supporting managed file transfer, or MFT, software for enterprises. The brand name of our MFT product platform is Enhanced File Transfer, or EFT. We also sell other products that are synergistic to EFT including Mail Express, scConnect, WAFS, and CuteFTP.

We earn most of our revenue from the sale of products that are part of our EFT platform. We earn revenue from the sale of perpetual software licenses, providing products under software-as-a-service, or SaaS, subscriptions, providing maintenance and support services, or M&S, and offering professional services for product customization and integration.
