PART I
Item 1. Business
General
iSign Solutions Inc. (the “Company” or “iSign”), was incorporated in Delaware in October 1986. iSign is a leading supplier of digital transaction management (DTM) software enabling the paperless, secure and cost-effective management and authentication of document-based transactions. iSign’s solutions encompass a wide array of functionality and services, including electronic signatures, simple-to-complex workflow management and various options for biometric authentication. These solutions are available across virtually all enterprise, desktop and mobile environments as a seamlessly integrated platform for both ad-hoc and fully automated transactions. iSign’s platform can be deployed both on premise and as a cloud-based (“SaaS”) service, with the ability to easily transition between deployment models. The Company is headquartered in San Jose, California.
In December 2019, an outbreak of a novel strain of coronavirus (COVID-19) originated in Wuhan, China and has since spread to a number of other countries, including the U.S. On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization characterized COVID-19 as a pandemic. Since March 11, 2020 states in the U.S., including California, where the Company is headquartered, have begun to open up as the result of the development of vaccines to thwart the spread of the virus. New variants of COVID-19 have surfaced around the world, including the United States which may cause additional closures of economies depending on how virulent the new strains are. New COVID-19 variant outbreaks may further disrupted supply chains and affected production and sales across a wide range of industries. The extent of the impact of new COVID-19 outbreaks on our operational and financial performance will depend on certain developments, including the duration and further spread of the outbreak, continued impact on our customers, employees and vendors all of which are uncertain and cannot be predicted.
For the year ended December 31, 2021, total revenue was $1,078, an increase of $112, or 12%, compared to total revenue of $966 in the prior year. For the year ended December 31, 2021, software product revenue was $373, an increase of $126, or 51%, compared to product revenue of $247 in the prior year. Maintenance revenue for the year ended December 31, 2021 was $705, a decrease of $14, or -2%, compared to maintenance revenue of $719 in the prior year. The increase in product revenue is due to enhancements to the products through engineering services while the decrease in maintenance is due to the change by one customer to a maintenance contract on a time and material basis rather than an annual basis.
For the year ended December 31, 2021, the net loss was $486, a decrease of $42, or 8%, compared to a net loss of $528 in the prior year. For the year ended December 31, 2021, non-cash charges, consisting of interest expense, warrant expense and the amortization of debt discount were $349, an increase of $46, or 15%, compared to $309 in the prior year. For the year ended December 31, 2021, operating expenses were $1,339, a decrease of $280, or 17%, compared to operating expenses of $1,619 for the prior year. The decrease in operating expenses resulted from reductions in the amortization of stock based compensation and professional service expenses.
Core Technologies
The Company’s core technologies can be referred to as “transaction-enabling” and “business process work flow” technologies. These technologies include various forms of electronic signature methods, such as handwritten, biometric, click-to-sign and others, as well as technologies related to signature verification, authentication, cryptography and the logging of audit trails to prove signers’ intent. These technologies enable the appending of secure, legal and regulatory compliant electronic signatures coupled with an enhanced user experience, all at a fraction of the time and cost required by traditional, paper-based processes for signature capture.
Products
The Company’s enterprise-class SignatureOne® and iSign® suite of electronic signature solutions enable businesses to implement truly paperless, electronic signature-driven business processes. The aggregate of the software functionality enabling the digitization of end-to-end work flow processes is sometimes referred to as “digital transaction management” (DTM). Many applications provide electronic forms and allow users to fill-in information, but most of these applications still require users to print out a paper copy for a handwritten, ink signature. Solutions powered by iSign products allow legally binding electronic signatures to be added to digital documents, eliminating the need for paper to memorialize the completion, approval or authentication of the transaction. This allows users to reduce transaction times and processing costs.
1
The SignatureOne® and iSign® suite of products includes the following:
| SignatureOne® Ceremony® Server | The SignatureOne® Ceremony® Server (“Ceremony Server”) provides a highly secure, scalable, patent-protected and streamlined electronic signature solution. Its flexible, easy-to-configure and agile workflow can be rapidly integrated via standard Web services to become an ultimate and cost efficient endpoint in true straight-through processing (the complete removal of paper from business processes) and to facilitate end-to-end management of multi-party approvals for PDF and XHTML documents. The Ceremony Server contains iSign’s core e-signature engine and signature ceremony management tools, and can be seamlessly integrated with numerous ancillary products. Its key features include:
● Consent/disclosure management – integral part of audit record; easily reproducible in the event of a dispute;
● Configurable document presentment – signatory receipt, access and viewing of document tracked in audit trail;
● Multi-party ceremonies – complex processes, simplified; allows for dynamic, multi-channel workflow changes, including remote, face-to-face and mobile scenarios;
● Supports complex business rules and dynamic user behaviors;
● Configurable branding and workflow;
● Flexible tracking and reporting – includes event notification service
● Extensive audit trail – embedded in individual document in a tamper evident digital seal; and
● Support for multiple signature methods – click-to-sign; biometric; and others.
|
| iSign® Console™ | The iSign® Console™ (“Console”) leverages the Ceremony Server’s core signature engine and is ideal for organizations looking for a standalone electronic signature solution. Through its intuitive graphical interface, the Console allows users to upload documents for signature, select signers and signature methods, and manage and enforce document workflow for routing, reviewing, signing and notifications. The Console offers a secure and intuitive solution that requires no integration and is available on-premise or in the cloud.
|
| iSign® Enterprise | iSign® Enterprise incorporates the features and function of the Ceremony Server and the Console.
|
| iSign® Family | The growing suite of iSign® products and service includes iSign® Mobile (for signing on iOS and Android mobile devices), iSign® Forms (for integrated use of templates and forms), and iSign® Live (iSign’s patent-pending co-browsing solution for simultaneous browsing signature ceremonies).
|
| Sign-it® | Sign-it® is a family of desktop software products that enable the real-time capture of electronic and digital signatures, as well as their verification and binding within a standard set of applications, including Adobe Acrobat and Microsoft Word, web-based applications using HTML, XML and XHTML, and custom applications for .NET, C# and similar development environments for the enterprise market. The Sign-it® family of products combines the strengths of biometrics, and other forms of electronic signatures, with cryptography in a patented process that insures the creation of documents containing legally compliant electronic signatures. These signatures have the same legal standing as a traditional so-called wet signature on paper and are created pursuant to the Electronic Signature in National and Global Commerce Act, as well as other related legislation and regulations. With Sign-it® products, organizations wishing to process electronic forms, requiring varying levels of security, can reduce the cost and other inefficiencies inherent with paper documents by adding electronic signature technologies to their workflow solutions. |

| iSign® Toolkits | The iSign® suite of application development tools for electronic signature capture, encryption and verification in custom applications and web-based processes captures and analyzes the image, speed, stroke sequence and acceleration of a person’s handwritten electronic signature. This capability offers an effective and inexpensive solution for immediate authentication of handwritten signatures. iSign® toolkits also store certain forensic elements of an electronic signature for use in determining whether a person’s electronic signature is legally valid. They also include software libraries for industry standard encryption and hashing to protect a user’s signature, as well as the data captured in the Ceremony® process. |

The Company’s technologies go beyond simple electronic signature and include biometric signatures, verification solutions, authentication and validation methods, that result in signed documents that are secure, legal and tamper-resistant.
3
The Company has over 20 registered and unregistered trademarks in the United States and other countries. The Company intends to register its trademarks in those jurisdictions where significant marketing of its products will be undertaken in the foreseeable future.
Research and Development
Our research and development effort is focused on the development, advancement and refinement of our core products and the development of new products. In addition, our research and development team is responsible for the continuous quality measurement and assurance of both existing and new products. We conduct research on software technology, related computer hardware, competitive offerings and alternative solution approaches to develop appropriate product and service offerings for our target markets. Our research and development efforts are often aimed at assisting clients and licensees in further streamlining new and existing workflow processes that our software solutions support and at ensuring that we meet or exceed industry standards and competitive offerings. We provide certain customization and integration services to our clients, including software integration partners and enterprise customers. These efforts are conducted by our team in San Jose, California, supported by contracted staff, including offshore engineers.
We believe that our software technologies, platforms and products are now competitive and our research and development activities will remain at the core of our operations, we intend, going forward, to continue to invest a portion of our resources in sales and marketing activities.
Our research and development expense was $547 for the year ended December 31, 2021 and $578 for the year ended December 31, 2020.
Material Customers
Historically, the Company’s revenue has been derived from hundreds of customers, but a significant percentage of the revenue has been attributable to a limited number of customers. Three customers, as described in Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial statements, accounted for 19%, 25%, and 38%, respectively, of total revenue for the year ended December 31, 2021.
Seasonality of Business
The Company believes that the sale of its products is not subject to seasonal fluctuations.
Backlog
Backlog was approximately $196 and $215 at December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, representing advanced payments on product and service maintenance agreements. One customer decided to convert their December 2020 renewal of a $94 annual maintenance contract to a maintenance contract on a time and materials basis in 2021.

Competition
We believe that our primary competitive advantages include the following:
| ● | Customer options and platform flexibility: Unlike most of our competitors, we offer many flexible configuration options for enterprise clients to address many variants of complex business work flows without the need for costly and time-consuming customization. These solution configurations can be rapidly and seamlessly integrated into a variety of enterprise technology environments. |
| ● | Software deployment options: Unlike most of our competitors, our software solutions are available as an on demand, private cloud-based software as a service, and on the customer’s premises, which is an important feature for most of our large enterprise clients for compliance, security and control reasons. |
| ● | Lower cost structure: Through our technology, sales and marketing partners, including Cegedim SA, we believe we offer a lower relative cost structure and higher operating margin than most of our larger competitors. |
Currently, our primary competition for basic click-to-sign electronic signatures includes Adobe EchoSign, DocuSign and OneSpan (f.k.a. VASCO Data Security International Inc.). We view the balance of the U.S. market as fragmented with a variety of smaller competitors focused on the consumer and small business markets rather than enterprise organizations.
Employees
As of December 31, 2021, the Company employed five full-time employees, one part time employee and seven independent contractors. The Company has established longstanding strategic relationships that allow it to rapidly access product development and deployment capabilities that could be required to address most customer requirements. None of the Company’s employees are party to any collective bargaining agreements. We believe our employee relations are good.
Geographic Areas
For the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, sales in the United States as a percentage of total sales was 62% and 75%, respectively. At December 31, 2021 and 2020, long-lived assets located in the United States were $10 and $10, respectively. There were no long-lived assets located elsewhere as of December 31, 2021 and 2020.

For the year ended December 31, 2021, operating expenses were $1,339, a decrease of $280, or 17%, compared to operating expenses of $1,619 in the prior year. The decrease in operating expenses resulted from reductions in the amortization of stock based compensation and professional service expenses. For the year ended December 31, 2021, the loss from operations was $261, a decrease of $392, or 60%, compared to a loss from operations of $653 in the prior year.
On May 6, 2020, the Company received loan proceeds in the amount of approximately $123 under the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”). The PPP, established as part of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”), provided for loans, with an interest rate of 1%, to qualifying businesses for amounts up to 2.5 times of the average monthly payroll expenses of the qualifying business. The loans and accrued interest would be forgiven after a period of either eight or twenty-four weeks, as long as the borrower uses the loan proceeds for eligible purposes, including payroll, benefits, rent and utilities, and maintains its payroll levels. The Company use of the loan proceeds met the conditions for forgiveness and the Company applied for full loan and interest forgiveness. In September 2021 the Company received notification that the loan related to the Paycheck Protection Program had been forgiven in full and the Company record $125 in other income on the Statement of Operations related to the forgiveness of the debt plus accrued interest.
On February 28, 2021, the Company issued an aggregate of $75 in unsecured notes, $30 to related parties and $45 to other investors. The Company received $15 in cash and $15 in exchange for an account receivable advance, received in the prior year, from related parties, and $45 in cash from other investors. The unsecured notes are convertible by the holder into common stock at any time at a price per share of $0.50. Upon closing a new financing of at least $1,000 in aggregate proceeds, the Company can force conversion at a price equal to the lesser of $0.50 per share or the price per share of the new financing. The notes bear interest at the rate of 10% per annum and are due December 31, 2021.
In April 2021, the Company re-paid $49 of Accounts Receivable Advances and $6 in accrued but unpaid 5% advance fees to an affiliate. In addition the Company repaid to another affiliate $64 of Accounts Receivable Advances and $4 in accrued but unpaid 5% advance fees.
In June 2021, the Company paid the first installment in the amount of $40 plus accrued interest of $5 of a note entered into associated with a settlement agreement dated July 1, 2020 with one of its vendors. The remaining $90 plus interest at the rate of 4% per annum is due in two installments, June of 2022 and June of 2023.
On September 30, 2021 the Company issued a note to one an affiliate investor and received $75 in cash. The note bears interest at the rate of 20% per annum and is due upon demand.
In November 2021, the Company received $100 in cash and issued notes aggregating $100 to a related and an unrelated party. The notes bear interest at the rate of 20% per annum and are due upon demand following ten calendar days prior written notice starting on March 29, 2022.

Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make judgments, assumptions and estimates that affect the amounts reported in the Company’s consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes. The amounts of assets and liabilities reported in its balance sheets and the amounts of revenue and expenses reported for each period presented are affected by these estimates and assumptions that are used for, but not limited to, revenue recognition, allowance for doubtful accounts, intangible asset impairments, fair value of financial instruments, stock based compensation and valuation allowances on deferred tax assets. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The following critical accounting policies are significantly affected by judgments, assumptions and estimates used by the Company’s management in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements.
Stock based Compensation: Stock-based compensation expense is based on the estimated grant date fair value of the portion of stock-based payment awards that are ultimately expected to vest during the period. The grant date fair value of stock-based awards to employees and directors is calculated using the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model. Forfeitures of share-based payment awards are estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. Forfeitures are estimated and it is assumed no dividends will be declared. The estimated fair value of stock-based compensation awards to employees is amortized on an accrual basis over the vesting period of the options.
Valuation of equity warrants: The Company values warrants issued using the Black-Scholes-Merton pricing model.
Derivatives: The Company follows the relevant accounting guidance and records derivative instruments (including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts) in the consolidated balance sheet as either an asset or a liability measured at their fair value, with changes in the derivative’s fair value recognized currently in earnings. The Company values these derivative securities under the fair value method at the end of each reporting period (quarter), and their value is marked-to-market at the end of each reporting period with the gain or loss recorded in earnings. The Company continues to revalue these instruments each quarter to reflect their current value in light of the current market price of our Common Stock. The Company used a simulated probability valuation model to value warrants containing embedded derivative instruments. Determining the appropriate fair-value model and calculating the fair value of such warrants requires considerable judgment. Any change in the estimates (specifically, probabilities) used may cause the value to be higher or lower than that reported. The assumptions used in the model require significant judgment by management and include the following: volatility, expected term, risk-free interest rate, dividends, and warrant holders’ expected rate of return, reset provisions based on expected future financings, projected stock prices, and probability of exercise.
The conversion option included within the unsecured convertible promissory notes is accounted for as a derivative liability at its estimated fair value. The derivative is subject to re-measurement at the end of each reporting period, with changes in fair value recognized as a component of interest and other income, in the consolidated statements of operations. The Company will continue to adjust the liability for changes in fair value until the earlier of the conversion or maturity of the unsecured convertible promissory note purchase agreements.
Revenue: The Company’s principal sources of revenues are from the sale of software products, SOW (engineering services), annual software product, and software maintenance contracts. The Company also derives revenue from customers based on the numbers of signatures produced by the Company’s signature software solutions imbedded within the customer’s product.
Revenue from contracts with customers is recognized using the following five steps:
| a) | Identify the contract(s) with a customer; | |
| b) | Identify the performance obligations (a good or service) in the contract; | |
| c) | Determine the transaction price; for each performance obligation within the contract | |
| d) | Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and | |
| e) | Recognize revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies a performance obligation. |
10
Contracts contain performance obligation(s) for the transfer goods or services to a customer. The performance obligations are a promise (or a group of promises) that are distinct. The transaction price is the amount of consideration a Company expects to receive from a customer in exchange for satisfying the performance obligations specified in the contract.
Contracts may contain one or more performance obligations (a good or service). Performance obligations are accounted for separately if they are distinct. A good or service is distinct if the customer can benefit from the good or service either on its own or together with other resources readily available to the customer, and the good or service is distinct in the context of the contract. Otherwise performance obligations will be combined with other promised goods or services until the Company identifies a bundle of goods or services that is distinct.
The transaction price is allocated to all separate performance obligations within the contract based on their relative standalone selling prices (“SSP”). The best evidence for SSP is the price the Company would charge for that good or service when sold separately in similar circumstances to similar customers. If goods or services are not always sold separately, the Company would use the best estimate of SSP in the allocation of transaction price.
The transaction price reflects the amount of consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring goods or services, which may include an estimate of variable consideration to the extent that it is probable of not being subject to significant reversals in the future based on the Company’s experience with similar arrangements. The transaction price also reflects the impact of the time value of money if there is a significant financing component present in an arrangement. The transaction price excludes amounts collected on behalf of third parties, such as sales taxes.
Revenue is recognized when the Company satisfies each performance obligation identified within the contract by transferring control of the promised goods or services to the customer. Goods or services can transfer at a point in time or over time depending on the nature of the arrangement.
Deferred revenue represents the Company’s obligation to transfer goods or services to a customer for which the Company has received consideration from the customer. Our payment terms do not vary by the type of products or services offered. The term between invoicing and when payment is due is not significant. During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company recognized $215 of revenue that was included in deferred revenue at the beginning of the period.
Contract assets exist when the Company has satisfied a performance obligation but does not have an unconditional right to consideration (e.g., because the entity first must satisfy another performance obligation in the contract before it is entitled to invoice the customer).
The Company transfers all of its goods and services electronically with the associated costs recorded in cost of sales in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Software. Revenue from the sale of software products is recognized when the control is transferred. For most of the Company’s software product sales, the control is transferred at the time the product is electronically transferred because the customer has significant risks and rewards of ownership of the asset and the Company has a present right to payment at that time.
Statement of Work (SOW). Revenue from SOW (engineering services) is recognized upon completion, transfer and satisfaction of the performance obligations identified with in the contract by the customer.
Transactional revenue. For transactional type contracts, the Company’s performance obligations are met upon transfer of the software master to the customer. Revenue from transactional customers is recognized as the customer reports the number of units (signatures) rendered over the specified reporting period, generally three months.
Recurring Product revenue. The company has revenue contracts that allow the customer to utilize the Company’s signature software on an annual basis. Maintenance and support costs are included in the annual price to the customer. The customer has the right to renew or cancel the contract on an annual basis. Recurring revenue is recognized on a straight line basis over the contract period, generally one year.
11
Maintenance and support. Maintenance and support services are satisfied ratably over time as the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits of the services. As a result, support and maintenance revenue is recognized on a straight line basis over the period of the contract.
Arrangements with Multiple Performance Obligations. The Company has, from time to time, revenue arrangements that include multiple performance obligations. The Company allocates transaction price to all separate performance obligations based on their relative standalone selling prices (“SSP”). The Company’s best evidence for SSP is the price the Company would charge for that good or service when the Company sells it separately in similar circumstances to similar customers. If goods or services are not always sold separately, the Company uses the best estimate of SSP in the allocation of transaction price. The Company’s process for determining best estimate of SSP involves management’s judgment, and considers multiple factors including, but not limited to, major product groupings, gross margin objectives and pricing practices. Pricing practices may vary over time, depending upon the unique facts and circumstances related to each deliverable. If the facts and circumstances underlying the factors considered change or should future facts and circumstances lead the Company to consider additional factors, the Company’s best estimate of SSP may also change.
Contract costs. The incremental costs of obtaining a contract are capitalized if the costs are expected to be recovered. Costs that are recognized as assets are amortized straight-line over the period as the related goods or services transfer to the customer. Costs incurred to fulfill a contract are capitalized if they are not covered by other relevant guidance, relate directly to a contract, will be used to satisfy future performance obligations, and are expected to be recovered.
Significant Judgments. The Company may exercise significant judgment when determining whether products and services are considered distinct performance obligations that should be accounted for separately versus together.
Practical Expedients and Exemptions. Under Topic 606, incremental costs of obtaining a contract, such as sales commissions, are capitalized if they are expected to be recovered. Expensing these costs as they are incurred is not permitted unless they qualify for the practical expedient. The Company elected the practical expedient to expense the costs to obtain a contract as incurred when the expected amortization period is one year or less.
The Company elected the practical expedient under Topic 606 to not disclose the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations, since the majority of the Company’s arrangements have original expected durations of one year or less, or the invoicing corresponds to the value of the Company’s performance completed to date.
The Company elected the practical expedient that allows the Company to not assess a contract for a significant financing component if the period between the customer’s payment and the transfer of the goods or services is one year or less.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts: The allowance for doubtful accounts is based on the Company’s assessment of the collectability of specific customer accounts and an assessment of international, political and economic risk as well as the aging of the accounts receivable. If there is a change in actual defaults from the Company’s historical experience, the Company’s estimates of recoverability of amounts due could be affected and the Company would adjust the allowance accordingly.
Long-lived assets: The Company evaluates the recoverability of its long-lived assets, including intangible assets at least annually or whenever circumstances or events indicate such assets might be impaired. The Company would recognize an impairment charge in the event the net book value of such assets exceeded the future undiscounted cash flows attributable to such assets. Estimation of future cash flows from the products considers the following additional factors:
| ● | legal, regulatory or contractual provisions known to the Company that limit the useful life of any product technology to less than the assigned useful life; |
12
| ● | whether the Company needs to incur material costs or make modifications in order for it to continue to be able to realize the benefits afforded by the product technologies; |
| ● | effects of obsolescence or significant competitive pressure on the Company’s current or future products are expected to reduce the anticipated cash flow from the products; |
| ● | demand for products utilizing the technology will diminish, remain stable or increase; and |
| ● | whether the current markets for the products based on the technology will remain constant or will change over the useful lives assigned to the technologies. |
Customer Base: To date, the Company’s electronic signature revenue has been derived primarily from financial service industry end-users and from resellers and channel partners serving the financial service industry primarily in North America, the ASEAN Region and Europe. The Company performs periodic credit evaluations of its customers and does not require collateral. The Company maintains reserves for potential credit losses. Historically, such losses have been within the range of management’s expectations.
Cost of sales: Cost of sales includes direct engineering labor and overhead for specific revenue based projects initiated by customers and maintenance projects specific to customer needs, along with third party services related to the Company’s transactional based revenues.
Research and Development Costs: Research and development costs are charged as expense as incurred.
Net Operating Loss Carry-forwards: Utilization of the Company’s net operating losses may be subject to an annual limitation due to the ownership change limitations under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code and similar state provisions. As a result, a portion of the Company’s net operating loss carry-forwards may not be available to offset future taxable income. The Company has provided a full valuation allowance for deferred tax assets at December 31, 2021 of approximately $14,498 based upon the Company’s history of losses.
Segments: The Company reports its financial results in one segment.

The increase in product revenue is primarily attributable to the increase in engineering service revenue. The decrease in maintenance revenue is primarily attributable to existing customers renewing maintenance contracts at higher price points.
Cost of Sales
For the year ended December 31, 2021, cost of sales was $134, a decrease of $12, or 8%, compared to cost of sales of $146 in the prior year.

For the year ended December 31, 2021, research and development expenses were $547, a decrease of $31, or 5%, compared to research and development expenses of $578 in the prior year. Research and development expenses consist primarily of salaries and related costs, outside contract engineering, maintenance items, and allocated facility expenses. The most significant factors contributing to the decrease in research and development expenses was a decrease in stock option compensation expense, a reduction in outside engineering expense and the reduction in allocated facilities expenses. The reductions were enhanced by an increase in direct labor transfers to cost of sales due to the increase in engineering service revenue. For the year ended December 31, 2021, total research and development expenses before IT and cost of sales allocations were $692, a decrease of $31, or 4%, compared to $723 of total research and development expenses before allocations in the prior year.

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Interest Rate Risk. Any investments in fixed income securities are subject to interest rate risk and will fall in value if the market interest rates increase. The Company attempts to limit this exposure by investing primarily in short-term securities.
Foreign Currency Risk. The Company operates a joint venture in China and from time-to-time could make certain capital equipment or other purchases denominated in foreign currencies. As a result, the Company’s cash flows and earnings could be exposed to fluctuations in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates. The Company would attempt to limit any such exposure through operational strategies and generally has not hedged currency exposure.
Future Results and Stock Price Risk. The Company’s stock price may be subject to significant volatility. The public stock markets have experienced significant volatility in stock prices in recent years. The stock prices of technology companies have experienced particularly high volatility, including, at times, severe price changes that are unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of such companies. The trading price of the Company’s Common Stock could be subject to wide fluctuations in response to, among other factors, quarter-to-quarter variations in operating results, announcements of technological innovations or new products by the Company or its competitors, competitor consolidation in the industry, announcements of new strategic relationships by the Company or its competitors, general conditions in the computer software industry or the global economy generally, or market volatility unrelated to the Company’s business and operating results. The impact and severity of the above factors could be exacerbated by the Company’s small size, public float and a lack of market liquidity for its Common Stock.
16
Risks and Uncertainties. In December 2019, an outbreak of a novel strain of coronavirus (COVID-19) originated in Wuhan, China and has since spread to a number of other countries, including the U.S. On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization characterized COVID-19 as a pandemic. In addition, several states in the U.S., including California, where the Company is headquartered, have declared a state of emergency. The COVID-19 outbreak is disrupting supply chains and affecting production and sales across a wide range of industries. The extent of the impact of COVID-19 on our operational and financial performance will depend on certain developments, including the duration and spread of the outbreak, impact on our customers, employees and vendors all of which are uncertain and cannot be predicted. At this point, the extent to which COVID-19 may impact our financial condition or results of operations is uncertain.
Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data
The Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, and for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2021, begin on page F-1 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, and are incorporated into this item by reference.

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company carried out an evaluation as of the end of the period covered by this report, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to paragraph (b) of Rule 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”). Based on that evaluation the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer have concluded that as of the end of the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that the information required to be disclosed in reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act (1) is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and (2) is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.
The Company does not expect that its disclosure controls and procedures will prevent all error and all fraud. A control procedure, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control procedures are met. Because of the inherent limitations in all control procedures, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control. The Company considered these limitations during the development of its disclosure controls and procedures, and will continually reevaluate them to ensure they provide reasonable assurance that such controls and procedures are effective.
17
Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect transactions and dispositions of assets; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on our financial statements. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements.
Management has assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on the criteria established in “Internal Control, Integrated Framework” issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) in 2013. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
In performing this assessment, management identified the following material weaknesses:
As a small company with limited resources that are mainly focused on the development and sales of software products and services, iSign does not employ a sufficient number of staff in its finance department to possess an optimal segregation of duties or to provide optimal levels of oversight. This has resulted in certain audit adjustments and management believes that there may be a possibility for a material misstatement to occur in future periods while it employs the current number of personnel in its finance department.
Based on its assessment, our management concluded that, as of December 31, 2021, our internal control over financial reporting was not effective. Management believes that the identified weaknesses have not affected our ability to present GAAP-compliant financial statements in this Form 10-K. During the year-end financial statement close the Company was able to adjust its financial records to properly present its financial statements and we were therefore able to present GAAP-compliant financial statements. Management does not believe that its weakness with respect to its procedures and controls have had a pervasive effect upon our financial reporting due to our ability to make the necessary reconciling adjustments to our financial statements.
Management’s Remediation Initiatives
Management conducts a number of activities to address the material weaknesses noted above, including but not limited to the following:
| ● | Key managers and accounting personnel work closely with our independent audit firm in evaluating our progress in remediating our material weaknesses with oversight by the audit committee; |
| ● | Evaluate control procedures on an ongoing basis, and, where possible, modify those control procedures to improve oversight; |
| ● | Evaluate, and, where possible, employ additional third party resources that can provide oversight support within the Company’s budget constraints; and |
| ● | As the Company grows its business and the cash flow necessary to hire additional accounting personnel, management expects to pursue and implement such additional hires. |
Elements of our remediation plan can only be accomplished over time and we can offer no assurances that those initiatives will ultimately have the intended effects. Ultimately, revenue growth and performance improvements are the most likely avenue to greater resources that will improve the Company’s internal controls.
Management will continue the process of reviewing existing controls, procedures and responsibilities to more closely identify financial reporting risks and the required controls to address them. Key control and compensating control procedures will be developed to ensure that material weaknesses are properly addressed and related financial reporting risks are mitigated. Periodic control validation and testing will also be implemented to ensure that controls continue to operate consistently and as designed.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There have not been any changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended December 31, 2021 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

It is the policy of the Company not to enter into any agreement with its auditors to provide any non-audit services unless (a) the agreement is approved in advance by the Audit Committee or (b) (i) the aggregate amount of all such non-audit services constitutes no more than 5% of the total amount the Company pays to the auditors during the fiscal year in which such services are rendered, (ii) such services were not recognized by the Company as constituting non-audit services at the time of the engagement of the non-audit services and (iii) such services are promptly brought to the attention of the Audit Committee and prior to the completion of the audit are approved by the Audit Committee or by one or more members of the Audit Committee who are members of the board of directors to whom authority to grant such approvals has been delegated by the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee will not approve any agreement in advance for non-audit services unless (x) the procedures and policies are detailed in advance as to such services, (y) the Audit Committee is informed of such services prior to commencement and (z) such policies and procedures do not constitute delegation of the Audit Committee’s responsibilities to management under the Exchange Act.
The Audit Committee has considered whether the provision of non-audit services has impaired the independence of M&K PLLC and Armanino LLP and has concluded that both M&K PLLC and Armanino LLP were independent under applicable SEC and NASDAQ rules and regulations.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and
Stockholders of iSign Solutions, Inc.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of iSign Solutions, Inc. (the Company) as of December 31, 2021, and 2020, the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive loss, stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the financial statements). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company has suffered net losses from operations since inception and has an accumulated deficiency, which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans regarding those matters are discussed in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audit, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Critical Audit Matters
The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.
Revenue Recognition
As discussed in Note 1, the Company recognizes revenue upon transfer of control of promised services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for those products or services.
Auditing management’s evaluation of agreements with customers involves significant judgment, given the fact that some agreements require management’s evaluation and allocation of the standalone transaction prices to the performance obligations.
To evaluate the appropriateness and accuracy of the assessment by management, we evaluated management’s assessment in relationship to the relevant agreements.

We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2020.

Going concern and management plans:
The
accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. Except
for 2004, the Company has incurred significant losses since its inception and, at December 31, 2021, the Company’s accumulated
deficit was $
There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in securing adequate capital resources to fund planned operations or that any additional funds will be available to the Company when needed, or if available, will be available on favorable terms or in amounts required by the Company. If the Company is unable to obtain adequate capital resources to fund operations, it may be required to delay, scale back or eliminate some or all of its operations, which may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations and ability to operate as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
In December 2019, an outbreak of a novel strain of coronavirus (COVID-19) originated in Wuhan, China and has since spread to a number of other countries, including the U.S. On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization characterized COVID-19 as a pandemic. Since March 11, 2020 states in the U.S., including California, where the Company is headquartered, have begun to open up as the result of the development of vaccines to thwart the spread of the virus. New variants of COVID-19 have surfaced around the world, including the United States which may cause additional closures of economies depending on how virulent the new strains are. New COVID-19 variant outbreaks may further disrupted supply chains and affected production and sales across a wide range of industries. The extent of the impact of new COVID-19 outbreaks on our operational and financial performance will depend on certain developments, including the duration and further spread of the outbreak, continued impact on our customers, employees and vendors all of which are uncertain and cannot be predicted.

Basis of consolidation:
The accompanying consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America. All amounts shown in the accompanying consolidated financial statements are in thousands of dollars except per share amounts.
Use of estimates:
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles 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, as well as the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Fair value measures:
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset, or paid to transfer a liability, in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an ordinary transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Our policy on fair value measures requires us to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The policy establishes a fair value hierarchy based on the level of independent, objective evidence surrounding the inputs used to measure fair value. A financial instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The policy prioritizes the inputs into three levels that may be used to measure fair value:
Level 1: Applies to assets or liabilities for which there are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2: Applies to assets or liabilities for which there are inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data.
Level 3: Applies to assets or liabilities for which there are unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities.
The Company’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value, whether recurring or non-recurring, at December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, and the fair value calculation input hierarchy level that we have determined applies to each asset and liability category.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments:
The Company carries financial instruments on the consolidated balance sheet at the fair value of the instruments as of the consolidated balance sheet date. At the end of each period, management assesses the fair value of each instrument and adjusts the carrying value to reflect its assessment. At December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the carrying values of accounts receivable and accounts payable approximated their fair values.

(In thousands except per share amounts)
Treasury Stock:
Shares of common stock returned to, or repurchased by, the Company are recorded at cost and are included as a separate component of stockholders’ equity (deficit). Under the cost method, the gross cost of the shares reacquired is charged to a contra equity account titled treasury stock. The equity accounts that were credited for the original share issuance (Common Stock, additional paid-in capital, etc.) remain intact. When the treasury shares are reissued, proceeds in excess of cost are credited to additional paid-in capital. Any deficiency is charged to accumulated deficit (unless additional paid-in capital from previous treasury share transactions exists, in which case the deficiency is charged to that account, with any excess charged to accumulated deficit).
Derivatives:
The Company, from time to time, enters into transactions which contain conversion privileges, the settlement of which may entitle the holder or the Company to settle the obligation(s) by issuance of Company securities. The Company applies a two-step model in determining whether a financial instrument or an embedded feature is indexed to an issuer’s own stock and thus able to qualify for the scope exception. The fair value of each derivative is estimated each reporting period.
The conversion option included within the unsecured convertible promissory notes is accounted for as a derivative liability at its estimated fair value. The derivative is subject to re-measurement at the end of each reporting period, with changes in fair value recognized as a component of interest and other income, in the consolidated statements of operations. The Company will continue to adjust the liability for changes in fair value until the earlier of the conversion or maturity of the unsecured convertible promissory note purchase agreements.
Cash and cash equivalents:
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with maturities at the date of purchase of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
The Company’s cash and cash equivalents, at December 31, consisted of the following:
| 2021 | 2020 | |||||||
| Cash in bank | $ | $ | ||||||
| Cash and cash equivalents | $ | $ | ||||||
Concentrations of credit risk:
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash, cash equivalents, and accounts receivable. The Company maintains its cash and cash equivalents with various financial institutions. This diversification of risk is consistent with Company policy to maintain liquidity, and mitigate risk of loss as to principal.
To date, accounts receivable have been derived principally from revenue earned from end users, manufacturers, and distributors of computer products in North America. The Company performs periodic credit evaluations of its customers, and does not require collateral. The Company maintains reserves for potential credit losses; historically, such losses have been within management’s expectations.
The allowance for doubtful accounts is based on the Company’s assessment of the collectability of specific customer accounts and an assessment of international, political and economic risk as well as the aging of the accounts receivable. If there is a change in actual defaults from the Company’s historical experience, the Company’s estimates of recoverability of amounts due could be affected and the Company will adjust the allowance accordingly.

Deferred financing costs:
Deferred financing costs include costs paid in cash, such as professional fees and commissions. The costs associated with equity financings, such as in the sale of Common or Preferred Stock, are netted against the proceeds of the offering. In the case of note financings, costs are amortized to interest expense over the life of the notes or upon early payment using the effective interest method.
Property and equipment, net:
Property
and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related
assets, ranging from
Long-lived assets:
The Company evaluates the recoverability of its long-lived assets at least annually or whenever circumstances or events indicate such assets might be impaired. The Company would recognize an impairment charge in the event the net book value of such assets exceeded the future undiscounted cash flows attributable to such assets. No such impairment charge was recorded during the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
Share-based payment:
Share-based compensation expense is based on the estimated grant date fair value of the portion of share-based payment awards that is ultimately expected to vest during the period. The grant date fair value of share-based awards to employees and directors is calculated using the Black-Scholes-Merton valuation model. Forfeitures of share-based payment awards are estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates and it is assumed no dividends will be declared. The estimated fair value of share-based compensation awards to employees is amortized over the vesting period of the options.
Revenue from Contracts with Customers:
The Company’s principal sources of revenues are from the sale of software products, SOW (engineering services), annual software product, and software maintenance contracts. The Company also derives revenue from customers based on the numbers of signatures produced by the Company’s signature software solutions imbedded within the customer’s product.
Revenue from contracts with customers is recognized using the following five steps:
| a) | Identify the contract(s) with a customer; |
| b) | Identify the performance obligations (a good or service) in the contract; |
| c) | Determine the transaction price; for each performance obligation within the contract |
| d) | Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and |
| e) | Recognize revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies a performance obligation. |
Contracts contain performance obligation(s) for the transfer goods or services to a customer. The performance obligations are a promise (or a group of promises) that are distinct. The transaction price is the amount of consideration a Company expects to receive from a customer in exchange for satisfying the performance obligations specified in the contract.
F-11
iSign Solutions Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(In thousands except per share amounts)
Contracts may contain one or more performance obligations (a good or service). Performance obligations are accounted for separately if they are distinct. A good or service is distinct if the customer can benefit from the good or service either on its own or together with other resources readily available to the customer, and the good or service is distinct in the context of the contract. Otherwise performance obligations will be combined with other promised goods or services until the Company identifies a bundle of goods or services that is distinct.
The transaction price is allocated to all separate performance obligations within the contract based on their relative standalone selling prices (“SSP”). The best evidence for SSP is the price the Company would charge for that good or service when sold separately in similar circumstances to similar customers. If goods or services are not always sold separately, the Company would use the best estimate of SSP in the allocation of transaction price.
The transaction price reflects the amount of consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring goods or services, which may include an estimate of variable consideration to the extent that it is probable of not being subject to significant reversals in the future based on the Company’s experience with similar arrangements. The transaction price also reflects the impact of the time value of money if there is a significant financing component present in an arrangement. The transaction price excludes amounts collected on behalf of third parties, such as sales taxes.
Revenue is recognized when the Company satisfies each performance obligation identified within the contract by transferring control of the promised goods or services to the customer. Goods or services can transfer at a point in time or over time depending on the nature of the arrangement.
Deferred
revenue represents the Company’s obligation to transfer goods or services to a customer for which the Company has received consideration
from the customer. Our payment terms do not vary by the type of products or services offered. The term between invoicing and when payment
is due is not significant. During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company recognized $
Contract assets exist when the Company has satisfied a performance obligation but does not have an unconditional right to consideration (e.g., because the entity first must satisfy another performance obligation in the contract before it is entitled to invoice the customer).
The Company transfers all of its goods and services electronically with the associated costs recorded in cost of sales in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Software. Revenue from the sale of software products is recognized when the control is transferred. For most of the Company’s software product sales, the control is transferred at the time the product is electronically transferred because the customer has significant risks and rewards of ownership of the asset and the Company has a present right to payment at that time.
Statement of Work (SOW). Revenue from SOW (engineering services) is recognized upon completion, transfer and satisfaction of the performance obligations identified with in the contract by the customer.
Transactional revenue. For transactional type contracts, the Company’s performance obligations are met upon transfer of the software master to the customer. Revenue from transactional customers is recognized as the customer reports the number of units (signatures) rendered over the specified reporting period, generally three months.
Recurring
Product revenue. The company has revenue contracts that allow the customer to utilize the Company’s signature software on an annual
basis. Maintenance and support costs are included in the annual price to the customer. The customer has the right to renew or cancel
the contract on an annual basis. Recurring revenue is recognized on a straight line basis over the contract period, generally
F-12
iSign Solutions Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(In thousands except per share amounts)
Maintenance and support. Maintenance and support services are satisfied ratably over time as the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits of the services. As a result, support and maintenance revenue is recognized on a straight line basis over the period of the contract.
Arrangements with Multiple Performance Obligations. The Company has, from time to time, revenue arrangements that include multiple performance obligations. The Company allocates transaction price to all separate performance obligations based on their relative standalone selling prices (“SSP”). The Company’s best evidence for SSP is the price the Company would charge for that good or service when the Company sells it separately in similar circumstances to similar customers. If goods or services are not always sold separately, the Company uses the best estimate of SSP in the allocation of transaction price. The Company’s process for determining best estimate of SSP involves management’s judgment, and considers multiple factors including, but not limited to, major product groupings, gross margin objectives and pricing practices. Pricing practices may vary over time, depending upon the unique facts and circumstances related to each deliverable. If the facts and circumstances underlying the factors considered change or should future facts and circumstances lead the Company to consider additional factors, the Company’s best estimate of SSP may also change.
Contract costs. The incremental costs of obtaining a contract are capitalized if the costs are expected to be recovered. Costs that are recognized as assets are amortized straight-line over the period as the related goods or services transfer to the customer. Costs incurred to fulfill a contract are capitalized if they are not covered by other relevant guidance, relate directly to a contract, will be used to satisfy future performance obligations, and are expected to be recovered.
Significant Judgments. The Company may exercise significant judgment when determining whether products and services are considered distinct performance obligations that should be accounted for separately versus together.
Practical Expedients and Exemptions. Under Topic 606, incremental costs of obtaining a contract, such as sales commissions, are capitalized if they are expected to be recovered. Expensing these costs as they are incurred is not permitted unless they qualify for the practical expedient. The Company elected the practical expedient to expense the costs to obtain a contract as incurred when the expected amortization period is one year or less.
The Company elected the practical expedient under Topic 606 to not disclose the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations, since the majority of the Company’s arrangements have original expected durations of one year or less, or the invoicing corresponds to the value of the Company’s performance completed to date.
The Company elected the practical expedient that allows the Company to not assess a contract for a significant financing component if the period between the customer’s payment and the transfer of the goods or services is one year or less.
Research and development:
Research and development costs are charged to expense as incurred.
Marketing:
The Company expenses advertising (marketing) costs as incurred. These expenses are outbound marketing expenses associated with participation in industry events, related sales collateral and email campaigns aimed at generating customer participation in webinars. There were no advertising expenses for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Net loss per share:
The Company calculates net loss per share under the provisions of the relevant accounting guidance. That guidance requires the disclosure of both basic net loss per share, which is based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding, and diluted loss per share, which is based on the weighted average number of shares and dilutive potential shares outstanding.
The number of shares of Common Stock subject to outstanding options and shares issuable upon exercise of warrants excluded from the calculation of loss per share as their inclusion would be anti-dilutive are as follows:
| December 31,
2021 | December 31,

Foreign currency assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the end-of-period exchange rates except for long-term assets and liabilities, which are translated at historical exchange rates. Revenue and expenses are translated at the average exchange rates in effect during each period except for those expenses related to consolidated balance sheet amounts which are translated at historical exchange rates.
Net foreign currency transaction gains and losses are included in interest and other income, net in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses in 2021 and 2020 were insignificant.
Income taxes:
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected tax consequences of temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their financial statement reported amounts and for tax loss and credit carry-forwards. A valuation allowance is provided against deferred tax assets when it is determined to be more likely than not that the deferred tax asset will not be realized.
Foreign currency translation:
There have been no unrecognized tax benefits and, accordingly, there has been no effect on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.
The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various state and foreign jurisdictions. The Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal tax examinations for years before 2018, and state tax examinations for years before 2017.
The Company’s policy is to recognize interest and penalties accrued on any unrecognized tax benefits as a component of income tax expense.

Recently issued accounting pronouncements:
Accounting Standards Update No. 2021-10, Government Assistance (Topic 832). The amended guidance in this update was issued in November 2021 to increase the transparency of government assistance including the disclosure of (1) the types of assistance, (2) an entity’s accounting for the assistance, and (3) the effect of the assistance on an entity’s financial statements. The disclosures about government assistance in the notes to financial statements will provide comparable and transparent information to investors and other financial statement users to enable them to understand an entity’s financial results and prospects for future cash flows. The amendments in update 2021-10 are effective for all entities within its scope for financial statements for annual periods issued beginning after December 15, 2021. Early application of the amendments is permitted.
The Company has evaluated the effects of ASU 2021-10 and do not anticipate it having a material impact to the Company’s financial statements.
Other Accounting Standards Updates issued in 2021 are not currently applicable to the Company, therefore implementation would not be expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

There are no material pending legal proceedings to which we are a party or to which any of our property is subject, nor are there any such proceedings known to be contemplated by governmental authorities. None of our directors, officers or affiliates is involved in a proceeding adverse to our business or has a material interest adverse to our business.
| 9. | Income taxes: |
Management regularly assesses the ability to realize deferred tax assets recorded based upon the weight of available evidence, including such factors as recent earnings history and expected future taxable income on a jurisdiction by jurisdiction basis. In the event that the Company changes its determination as to the amount of realizable deferred tax assets, the Company will adjust its valuation allowance with a corresponding impact to the provision for income taxes in the period in which such determination is made. The Company’s management believes that, based on a number of factors, it is more likely than not, that all or some portion of the deferred tax assets will not be realized; and accordingly, for the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company has provided a valuation allowance against the Company’s U.S. net deferred tax assets.

The Company’s provision for income taxes differs from the amount computed by applying the statutory U.S. federal income tax rate to loss before taxes as follows for the years ended December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020:
The components of the net deferred tax assets and liabilities are as follows:
| 2021 | 2020 | |||||||
| Income tax benefit at the federal statutory rate | $ | ( | ) | $ | ( | ) | ||
| State income tax benefit | ( | ) | ( | ) | ||||

| Permanent items and other | ||||||||
| Tax cuts and Jobs Act Rate Change | ||||||||
| Change in valuation allowance | ( | ) | ||||||
| Income tax expense | $ | $ | ||||||
A full valuation allowance has been established for the Company’s net deferred tax assets since the realization of such assets through the generation of future taxable income is uncertain.
Current tax laws impose substantial restrictions on the utilization of net operating losses and credit carryforwards in the event of an “ownership change”, as defined by the Internal Revenue Code (IRC). If there should be an ownership change, the Company’s ability to utilize its carryforwards could be limited.
On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) was passed into law. The CARES Act includes several significant business tax provisions including modification to the taxable income limitation for utilization of net operating losses (“NOLs”) incurred in 2019 and 2020 and the ability to carry back NOLs from those years for a period of up to five years, an increase to the limitation on deductibility of certain business interest expense, bonus depreciation for purchases of qualified improvement property and special deductions on certain corporate charitable contributions. We analyzed the provisions of the CARES Act and determined there was no net effect on our provision for the year ended December 31, 2021.

| Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Nature of Business, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | 1. Nature of Business, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:
The Company:
The Company is a leading supplier of digital transaction management (DTM) software enabling the paperless, secure and cost-effective management of document-based transactions. iSign’s solutions encompass a wide array of functionality and services, including electronic signatures, biometric authentication and simple-to-complex workflow management. These solutions are available across virtually all enterprise, desktop and mobile environments as a seamlessly integrated platform for both ad-hoc and fully automated transactions. The Company’s products and services result in legally binding transactions that are compliant with applicable laws and regulations and that can provide a higher level of security than paper-based processes. The Company has been a leading supplier of enterprise software solutions within the financial services and insurance industries and has delivered significant expense reduction by enabling complete document and workflow automation and the resulting reduction in mailing, scanning, filing and other costs related to the use of paper.
The Company’s research and development activities have given rise to numerous technologies and products. The Company’s core DTM technologies include various forms of electronic signatures, such as handwritten biometric, click-to-sign and others, as well as signature verification, cryptography and the logging of audit trails to show signers’ intent. These technologies can enable secure, legal and regulatory compliant electronic transactions that can enhance customer experience at a fraction of the time and cost required by traditional, paper-based processes. The Company’s products include SignatureOne® Ceremony™ Server, Sign-it® and the iSign® family of products and services.
Going concern and management plans:
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. Except for 2004, the Company has incurred significant losses since its inception and, at December 31, 2021, the Company’s accumulated deficit was $135,689. The Company has primarily met its working capital needs through the sale of debt and equity securities. As of December 31, 2021, the Company’s cash balance was $40. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in securing adequate capital resources to fund planned operations or that any additional funds will be available to the Company when needed, or if available, will be available on favorable terms or in amounts required by the Company. If the Company is unable to obtain adequate capital resources to fund operations, it may be required to delay, scale back or eliminate some or all of its operations, which may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations and ability to operate as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
In December 2019, an outbreak of a novel strain of coronavirus (COVID-19) originated in Wuhan, China and has since spread to a number of other countries, including the U.S. On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization characterized COVID-19 as a pandemic. Since March 11, 2020 states in the U.S., including California, where the Company is headquartered, have begun to open up as the result of the development of vaccines to thwart the spread of the virus. New variants of COVID-19 have surfaced around the world, including the United States which may cause additional closures of economies depending on how virulent the new strains are. New COVID-19 variant outbreaks may further disrupted supply chains and affected production and sales across a wide range of industries. The extent of the impact of new COVID-19 outbreaks on our operational and financial performance will depend on certain developments, including the duration and further spread of the outbreak, continued impact on our customers, employees and vendors all of which are uncertain and cannot be predicted.
Basis of consolidation:
The accompanying consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America. All amounts shown in the accompanying consolidated financial statements are in thousands of dollars except per share amounts.
Use of estimates:
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles 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, as well as the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Fair value measures:
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset, or paid to transfer a liability, in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an ordinary transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Our policy on fair value measures requires us to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The policy establishes a fair value hierarchy based on the level of independent, objective evidence surrounding the inputs used to measure fair value. A financial instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The policy prioritizes the inputs into three levels that may be used to measure fair value:
Level 1: Applies to assets or liabilities for which there are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2: Applies to assets or liabilities for which there are inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data.
Level 3: Applies to assets or liabilities for which there are unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities.
The Company’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value, whether recurring or non-recurring, at December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, and the fair value calculation input hierarchy level that we have determined applies to each asset and liability category.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments:
The Company carries financial instruments on the consolidated balance sheet at the fair value of the instruments as of the consolidated balance sheet date. At the end of each period, management assesses the fair value of each instrument and adjusts the carrying value to reflect its assessment. At December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the carrying values of accounts receivable and accounts payable approximated their fair values.
Treasury Stock:
Shares of common stock returned to, or repurchased by, the Company are recorded at cost and are included as a separate component of stockholders’ equity (deficit). Under the cost method, the gross cost of the shares reacquired is charged to a contra equity account titled treasury stock. The equity accounts that were credited for the original share issuance (Common Stock, additional paid-in capital, etc.) remain intact. When the treasury shares are reissued, proceeds in excess of cost are credited to additional paid-in capital. Any deficiency is charged to accumulated deficit (unless additional paid-in capital from previous treasury share transactions exists, in which case the deficiency is charged to that account, with any excess charged to accumulated deficit).
Derivatives:
The Company, from time to time, enters into transactions which contain conversion privileges, the settlement of which may entitle the holder or the Company to settle the obligation(s) by issuance of Company securities. The Company applies a two-step model in determining whether a financial instrument or an embedded feature is indexed to an issuer’s own stock and thus able to qualify for the scope exception. The fair value of each derivative is estimated each reporting period.
The conversion option included within the unsecured convertible promissory notes is accounted for as a derivative liability at its estimated fair value. The derivative is subject to re-measurement at the end of each reporting period, with changes in fair value recognized as a component of interest and other income, in the consolidated statements of operations. The Company will continue to adjust the liability for changes in fair value until the earlier of the conversion or maturity of the unsecured convertible promissory note purchase agreements.
Cash and cash equivalents:
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with maturities at the date of purchase of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
The Company’s cash and cash equivalents, at December 31, consisted of the following:
Concentrations of credit risk:
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash, cash equivalents, and accounts receivable. The Company maintains its cash and cash equivalents with various financial institutions. This diversification of risk is consistent with Company policy to maintain liquidity, and mitigate risk of loss as to principal.
To date, accounts receivable have been derived principally from revenue earned from end users, manufacturers, and distributors of computer products in North America. The Company performs periodic credit evaluations of its customers, and does not require collateral. The Company maintains reserves for potential credit losses; historically, such losses have been within management’s expectations.
The allowance for doubtful accounts is based on the Company’s assessment of the collectability of specific customer accounts and an assessment of international, political and economic risk as well as the aging of the accounts receivable. If there is a change in actual defaults from the Company’s historical experience, the Company’s estimates of recoverability of amounts due could be affected and the Company will adjust the allowance accordingly.
Deferred financing costs:
Deferred financing costs include costs paid in cash, such as professional fees and commissions. The costs associated with equity financings, such as in the sale of Common or Preferred Stock, are netted against the proceeds of the offering. In the case of note financings, costs are amortized to interest expense over the life of the notes or upon early payment using the effective interest method.
Property and equipment, net:
Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets, ranging from three to five years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over their estimated useful lives, not to exceed the term of the related lease. The cost of additions and improvements is capitalized while maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Depreciation expense was $4 and $3 for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
Long-lived assets:
The Company evaluates the recoverability of its long-lived assets at least annually or whenever circumstances or events indicate such assets might be impaired. The Company would recognize an impairment charge in the event the net book value of such assets exceeded the future undiscounted cash flows attributable to such assets. No such impairment charge was recorded during the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
Share-based payment:
Share-based compensation expense is based on the estimated grant date fair value of the portion of share-based payment awards that is ultimately expected to vest during the period. The grant date fair value of share-based awards to employees and directors is calculated using the Black-Scholes-Merton valuation model. Forfeitures of share-based payment awards are estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates and it is assumed no dividends will be declared. The estimated fair value of share-based compensation awards to employees is amortized over the vesting period of the options.
Revenue from Contracts with Customers:
The Company’s principal sources of revenues are from the sale of software products, SOW (engineering services), annual software product, and software maintenance contracts. The Company also derives revenue from customers based on the numbers of signatures produced by the Company’s signature software solutions imbedded within the customer’s product.
Revenue from contracts with customers is recognized using the following five steps:
Contracts contain performance obligation(s) for the transfer goods or services to a customer. The performance obligations are a promise (or a group of promises) that are distinct. The transaction price is the amount of consideration a Company expects to receive from a customer in exchange for satisfying the performance obligations specified in the contract.
Contracts may contain one or more performance obligations (a good or service). Performance obligations are accounted for separately if they are distinct. A good or service is distinct if the customer can benefit from the good or service either on its own or together with other resources readily available to the customer, and the good or service is distinct in the context of the contract. Otherwise performance obligations will be combined with other promised goods or services until the Company identifies a bundle of goods or services that is distinct.
The transaction price is allocated to all separate performance obligations within the contract based on their relative standalone selling prices (“SSP”). The best evidence for SSP is the price the Company would charge for that good or service when sold separately in similar circumstances to similar customers. If goods or services are not always sold separately, the Company would use the best estimate of SSP in the allocation of transaction price.
The transaction price reflects the amount of consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring goods or services, which may include an estimate of variable consideration to the extent that it is probable of not being subject to significant reversals in the future based on the Company’s experience with similar arrangements. The transaction price also reflects the impact of the time value of money if there is a significant financing component present in an arrangement. The transaction price excludes amounts collected on behalf of third parties, such as sales taxes.
Revenue is recognized when the Company satisfies each performance obligation identified within the contract by transferring control of the promised goods or services to the customer. Goods or services can transfer at a point in time or over time depending on the nature of the arrangement.
Deferred revenue represents the Company’s obligation to transfer goods or services to a customer for which the Company has received consideration from the customer. Our payment terms do not vary by the type of products or services offered. The term between invoicing and when payment is due is not significant. During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company recognized $215 of revenue that was included in deferred revenue at the beginning of the period.
Contract assets exist when the Company has satisfied a performance obligation but does not have an unconditional right to consideration (e.g., because the entity first must satisfy another performance obligation in the contract before it is entitled to invoice the customer).
The Company transfers all of its goods and services electronically with the associated costs recorded in cost of sales in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Software. Revenue from the sale of software products is recognized when the control is transferred. For most of the Company’s software product sales, the control is transferred at the time the product is electronically transferred because the customer has significant risks and rewards of ownership of the asset and the Company has a present right to payment at that time.
Statement of Work (SOW). Revenue from SOW (engineering services) is recognized upon completion, transfer and satisfaction of the performance obligations identified with in the contract by the customer.
Transactional revenue. For transactional type contracts, the Company’s performance obligations are met upon transfer of the software master to the customer. Revenue from transactional customers is recognized as the customer reports the number of units (signatures) rendered over the specified reporting period, generally three months.
Recurring Product revenue. The company has revenue contracts that allow the customer to utilize the Company’s signature software on an annual basis. Maintenance and support costs are included in the annual price to the customer. The customer has the right to renew or cancel the contract on an annual basis. Recurring revenue is recognized on a straight line basis over the contract period, generally one year.
Maintenance and support. Maintenance and support services are satisfied ratably over time as the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits of the services. As a result, support and maintenance revenue is recognized on a straight line basis over the period of the contract.
Arrangements with Multiple Performance Obligations. The Company has, from time to time, revenue arrangements that include multiple performance obligations. The Company allocates transaction price to all separate performance obligations based on their relative standalone selling prices (“SSP”). The Company’s best evidence for SSP is the price the Company would charge for that good or service when the Company sells it separately in similar circumstances to similar customers. If goods or services are not always sold separately, the Company uses the best estimate of SSP in the allocation of transaction price. The Company’s process for determining best estimate of SSP involves management’s judgment, and considers multiple factors including, but not limited to, major product groupings, gross margin objectives and pricing practices. Pricing practices may vary over time, depending upon the unique facts and circumstances related to each deliverable. If the facts and circumstances underlying the factors considered change or should future facts and circumstances lead the Company to consider additional factors, the Company’s best estimate of SSP may also change.
Contract costs. The incremental costs of obtaining a contract are capitalized if the costs are expected to be recovered. Costs that are recognized as assets are amortized straight-line over the period as the related goods or services transfer to the customer. Costs incurred to fulfill a contract are capitalized if they are not covered by other relevant guidance, relate directly to a contract, will be used to satisfy future performance obligations, and are expected to be recovered.
Significant Judgments. The Company may exercise significant judgment when determining whether products and services are considered distinct performance obligations that should be accounted for separately versus together.
Practical Expedients and Exemptions. Under Topic 606, incremental costs of obtaining a contract, such as sales commissions, are capitalized if they are expected to be recovered. Expensing these costs as they are incurred is not permitted unless they qualify for the practical expedient. The Company elected the practical expedient to expense the costs to obtain a contract as incurred when the expected amortization period is one year or less.
The Company elected the practical expedient under Topic 606 to not disclose the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations, since the majority of the Company’s arrangements have original expected durations of one year or less, or the invoicing corresponds to the value of the Company’s performance completed to date.
The Company elected the practical expedient that allows the Company to not assess a contract for a significant financing component if the period between the customer’s payment and the transfer of the goods or services is one year or less.
Research and development:
Research and development costs are charged to expense as incurred.
Marketing:
The Company expenses advertising (marketing) costs as incurred. These expenses are outbound marketing expenses associated with participation in industry events, related sales collateral and email campaigns aimed at generating customer participation in webinars. There were no advertising expenses for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
Net loss per share:
The Company calculates net loss per share under the provisions of the relevant accounting guidance. That guidance requires the disclosure of both basic net loss per share, which is based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding, and diluted loss per share, which is based on the weighted average number of shares and dilutive potential shares outstanding.
The number of shares of Common Stock subject to outstanding options and shares issuable upon exercise of warrants excluded from the calculation of loss per share as their inclusion would be anti-dilutive are as follows:
Foreign currency assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the end-of-period exchange rates except for long-term assets and liabilities, which are translated at historical exchange rates. Revenue and expenses are translated at the average exchange rates in effect during each period except for those expenses related to consolidated balance sheet amounts which are translated at historical exchange rates.
Net foreign currency transaction gains and losses are included in interest and other income, net in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses in 2021 and 2020 were insignificant.
Income taxes:
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected tax consequences of temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their financial statement reported amounts and for tax loss and credit carry-forwards. A valuation allowance is provided against deferred tax assets when it is determined to be more likely than not that the deferred tax asset will not be realized.
Foreign currency translation:
There have been no unrecognized tax benefits and, accordingly, there has been no effect on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.
The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various state and foreign jurisdictions. The Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal tax examinations for years before 2018, and state tax examinations for years before 2017.
The Company’s policy is to recognize interest and penalties accrued on any unrecognized tax benefits as a component of income tax expense.
Recently issued accounting pronouncements:
Accounting Standards Update No. 2021-10, Government Assistance (Topic 832). The amended guidance in this update was issued in November 2021 to increase the transparency of government assistance including the disclosure of (1) the types of assistance, (2) an entity’s accounting for the assistance, and (3) the effect of the assistance on an entity’s financial statements. The disclosures about government assistance in the notes to financial statements will provide comparable and transparent information to investors and other financial statement users to enable them to understand an entity’s financial results and prospects for future cash flows. The amendments in update 2021-10 are effective for all entities within its scope for financial statements for annual periods issued beginning after December 15, 2021. Early application of the amendments is permitted.
The Company has evaluated the effects of ASU 2021-10 and do not anticipate it having a material impact to the Company’s financial statements.
Other Accounting Standards Updates issued in 2021 are not currently applicable to the Company, therefore implementation would not be expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows. |

| Income taxes |
Management regularly assesses the ability to realize deferred tax assets recorded based upon the weight of available evidence, including such factors as recent earnings history and expected future taxable income on a jurisdiction by jurisdiction basis. In the event that the Company changes its determination as to the amount of realizable deferred tax assets, the Company will adjust its valuation allowance with a corresponding impact to the provision for income taxes in the period in which such determination is made. The Company’s management believes that, based on a number of factors, it is more likely than not, that all or some portion of the deferred tax assets will not be realized; and accordingly, for the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company has provided a valuation allowance against the Company’s U.S. net deferred tax assets.
At December 31, 2021, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards of $53,031 for federal income tax purposes which will begin to expire in 2022 if unused. The Company had net operating loss carryforwards for state income tax purposes of approximately $37,850. These state net operating losses carryforwards will begin to expire in the year 2028 if unused.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities at December 31 consist of the following:
The Company’s provision for income taxes differs from the amount computed by applying the statutory U.S. federal income tax rate to loss before taxes as follows for the years ended December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020:
The components of the net deferred tax assets and liabilities are as follows:
A full valuation allowance has been established for the Company’s net deferred tax assets since the realization of such assets through the generation of future taxable income is uncertain.
Current tax laws impose substantial restrictions on the utilization of net operating losses and credit carryforwards in the event of an “ownership change”, as defined by the Internal Revenue Code (IRC). If there should be an ownership change, the Company’s ability to utilize its carryforwards could be limited.
On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) was passed into law. The CARES Act includes several significant business tax provisions including modification to the taxable income limitation for utilization of net operating losses (“NOLs”) incurred in 2019 and 2020 and the ability to carry back NOLs from those years for a period of up to five years, an increase to the limitation on deductibility of certain business interest expense, bonus depreciation for purchases of qualified improvement property and special deductions on certain corporate charitable contributions. We analyzed the provisions of the CARES Act and determined there was no net effect on our provision for the year ended December 31, 2021. |

| Going concern and management plans | Going concern and management plans:
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. Except for 2004, the Company has incurred significant losses since its inception and, at December 31, 2021, the Company’s accumulated deficit was $135,689. The Company has primarily met its working capital needs through the sale of debt and equity securities. As of December 31, 2021, the Company’s cash balance was $40. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in securing adequate capital resources to fund planned operations or that any additional funds will be available to the Company when needed, or if available, will be available on favorable terms or in amounts required by the Company. If the Company is unable to obtain adequate capital resources to fund operations, it may be required to delay, scale back or eliminate some or all of its operations, which may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations and ability to operate as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
In December 2019, an outbreak of a novel strain of coronavirus (COVID-19) originated in Wuhan, China and has since spread to a number of other countries, including the U.S. On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization characterized COVID-19 as a pandemic. Since March 11, 2020 states in the U.S., including California, where the Company is headquartered, have begun to open up as the result of the development of vaccines to thwart the spread of the virus. New variants of COVID-19 have surfaced around the world, including the United States which may cause additional closures of economies depending on how virulent the new strains are. New COVID-19 variant outbreaks may further disrupted supply chains and affected production and sales across a wide range of industries. The extent of the impact of new COVID-19 outbreaks on our operational and financial performance will depend on certain developments, including the duration and further spread of the outbreak, continued impact on our customers, employees and vendors all of which are uncertain and cannot be predicted.

| Use of estimates | Use of estimates:
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles 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, as well as the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

| Fair value measures | Fair value measures:
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset, or paid to transfer a liability, in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an ordinary transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Our policy on fair value measures requires us to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The policy establishes a fair value hierarchy based on the level of independent, objective evidence surrounding the inputs used to measure fair value. A financial instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The policy prioritizes the inputs into three levels that may be used to measure fair value:
Level 1: Applies to assets or liabilities for which there are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2: Applies to assets or liabilities for which there are inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data.
Level 3: Applies to assets or liabilities for which there are unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities.
The Company’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value, whether recurring or non-recurring, at December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, and the fair value calculation input hierarchy level that we have determined applies to each asset and liability category.
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Fair Value of Financial Instruments | Fair Value of Financial Instruments:
The Company carries financial instruments on the consolidated balance sheet at the fair value of the instruments as of the consolidated balance sheet date. At the end of each period, management assesses the fair value of each instrument and adjusts the carrying value to reflect its assessment. At December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the carrying values of accounts receivable and accounts payable approximated their fair values.
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Treasury Stock | Treasury Stock:
Shares of common stock returned to, or repurchased by, the Company are recorded at cost and are included as a separate component of stockholders’ equity (deficit). Under the cost method, the gross cost of the shares reacquired is charged to a contra equity account titled treasury stock. The equity accounts that were credited for the original share issuance (Common Stock, additional paid-in capital, etc.) remain intact. When the treasury shares are reissued, proceeds in excess of cost are credited to additional paid-in capital. Any deficiency is charged to accumulated deficit (unless additional paid-in capital from previous treasury share transactions exists, in which case the deficiency is charged to that account, with any excess charged to accumulated deficit).
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Derivatives | Derivatives:
The Company, from time to time, enters into transactions which contain conversion privileges, the settlement of which may entitle the holder or the Company to settle the obligation(s) by issuance of Company securities. The Company applies a two-step model in determining whether a financial instrument or an embedded feature is indexed to an issuer’s own stock and thus able to qualify for the scope exception. The fair value of each derivative is estimated each reporting period.
The conversion option included within the unsecured convertible promissory notes is accounted for as a derivative liability at its estimated fair value. The derivative is subject to re-measurement at the end of each reporting period, with changes in fair value recognized as a component of interest and other income, in the consolidated statements of operations. The Company will continue to adjust the liability for changes in fair value until the earlier of the conversion or maturity of the unsecured convertible promissory note purchase agreements.
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Cash and cash equivalents | Cash and cash equivalents:
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with maturities at the date of purchase of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
The Company’s cash and cash equivalents, at December 31, consisted of the following:
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Concentrations of credit risk | Concentrations of credit risk:
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash, cash equivalents, and accounts receivable. The Company maintains its cash and cash equivalents with various financial institutions. This diversification of risk is consistent with Company policy to maintain liquidity, and mitigate risk of loss as to principal.
To date, accounts receivable have been derived principally from revenue earned from end users, manufacturers, and distributors of computer products in North America. The Company performs periodic credit evaluations of its customers, and does not require collateral. The Company maintains reserves for potential credit losses; historically, such losses have been within management’s expectations.
The allowance for doubtful accounts is based on the Company’s assessment of the collectability of specific customer accounts and an assessment of international, political and economic risk as well as the aging of the accounts receivable. If there is a change in actual defaults from the Company’s historical experience, the Company’s estimates of recoverability of amounts due could be affected and the Company will adjust the allowance accordingly.
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Deferred financing costs | Deferred financing costs:
Deferred financing costs include costs paid in cash, such as professional fees and commissions. The costs associated with equity financings, such as in the sale of Common or Preferred Stock, are netted against the proceeds of the offering. In the case of note financings, costs are amortized to interest expense over the life of the notes or upon early payment using the effective interest method.
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Property and equipment, net | Property and equipment, net:
Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets, ranging from three to five years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over their estimated useful lives, not to exceed the term of the related lease. The cost of additions and improvements is capitalized while maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Depreciation expense was $4 and $3 for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Long-lived assets | Long-lived assets:
The Company evaluates the recoverability of its long-lived assets at least annually or whenever circumstances or events indicate such assets might be impaired. The Company would recognize an impairment charge in the event the net book value of such assets exceeded the future undiscounted cash flows attributable to such assets. No such impairment charge was recorded during the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Share-based payment | Share-based payment:
Share-based compensation expense is based on the estimated grant date fair value of the portion of share-based payment awards that is ultimately expected to vest during the period. The grant date fair value of share-based awards to employees and directors is calculated using the Black-Scholes-Merton valuation model. Forfeitures of share-based payment awards are estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates and it is assumed no dividends will be declared. The estimated fair value of share-based compensation awards to employees is amortized over the vesting period of the options.

| Revenue from Contracts with Customers | Revenue from Contracts with Customers:
The Company’s principal sources of revenues are from the sale of software products, SOW (engineering services), annual software product, and software maintenance contracts. The Company also derives revenue from customers based on the numbers of signatures produced by the Company’s signature software solutions imbedded within the customer’s product.
Revenue from contracts with customers is recognized using the following five steps:
Contracts contain performance obligation(s) for the transfer goods or services to a customer. The performance obligations are a promise (or a group of promises) that are distinct. The transaction price is the amount of consideration a Company expects to receive from a customer in exchange for satisfying the performance obligations specified in the contract.
Contracts may contain one or more performance obligations (a good or service). Performance obligations are accounted for separately if they are distinct. A good or service is distinct if the customer can benefit from the good or service either on its own or together with other resources readily available to the customer, and the good or service is distinct in the context of the contract. Otherwise performance obligations will be combined with other promised goods or services until the Company identifies a bundle of goods or services that is distinct.
The transaction price is allocated to all separate performance obligations within the contract based on their relative standalone selling prices (“SSP”). The best evidence for SSP is the price the Company would charge for that good or service when sold separately in similar circumstances to similar customers. If goods or services are not always sold separately, the Company would use the best estimate of SSP in the allocation of transaction price.
The transaction price reflects the amount of consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring goods or services, which may include an estimate of variable consideration to the extent that it is probable of not being subject to significant reversals in the future based on the Company’s experience with similar arrangements. The transaction price also reflects the impact of the time value of money if there is a significant financing component present in an arrangement. The transaction price excludes amounts collected on behalf of third parties, such as sales taxes.
Revenue is recognized when the Company satisfies each performance obligation identified within the contract by transferring control of the promised goods or services to the customer. Goods or services can transfer at a point in time or over time depending on the nature of the arrangement.
Deferred revenue represents the Company’s obligation to transfer goods or services to a customer for which the Company has received consideration from the customer. Our payment terms do not vary by the type of products or services offered. The term between invoicing and when payment is due is not significant. During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company recognized $215 of revenue that was included in deferred revenue at the beginning of the period.
Contract assets exist when the Company has satisfied a performance obligation but does not have an unconditional right to consideration (e.g., because the entity first must satisfy another performance obligation in the contract before it is entitled to invoice the customer).
The Company transfers all of its goods and services electronically with the associated costs recorded in cost of sales in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Software. Revenue from the sale of software products is recognized when the control is transferred. For most of the Company’s software product sales, the control is transferred at the time the product is electronically transferred because the customer has significant risks and rewards of ownership of the asset and the Company has a present right to payment at that time.
Statement of Work (SOW). Revenue from SOW (engineering services) is recognized upon completion, transfer and satisfaction of the performance obligations identified with in the contract by the customer.
Transactional revenue. For transactional type contracts, the Company’s performance obligations are met upon transfer of the software master to the customer. Revenue from transactional customers is recognized as the customer reports the number of units (signatures) rendered over the specified reporting period, generally three months.
Recurring Product revenue. The company has revenue contracts that allow the customer to utilize the Company’s signature software on an annual basis. Maintenance and support costs are included in the annual price to the customer. The customer has the right to renew or cancel the contract on an annual basis. Recurring revenue is recognized on a straight line basis over the contract period, generally one year.
Maintenance and support. Maintenance and support services are satisfied ratably over time as the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits of the services. As a result, support and maintenance revenue is recognized on a straight line basis over the period of the contract.
Arrangements with Multiple Performance Obligations. The Company has, from time to time, revenue arrangements that include multiple performance obligations. The Company allocates transaction price to all separate performance obligations based on their relative standalone selling prices (“SSP”). The Company’s best evidence for SSP is the price the Company would charge for that good or service when the Company sells it separately in similar circumstances to similar customers. If goods or services are not always sold separately, the Company uses the best estimate of SSP in the allocation of transaction price. The Company’s process for determining best estimate of SSP involves management’s judgment, and considers multiple factors including, but not limited to, major product groupings, gross margin objectives and pricing practices. Pricing practices may vary over time, depending upon the unique facts and circumstances related to each deliverable. If the facts and circumstances underlying the factors considered change or should future facts and circumstances lead the Company to consider additional factors, the Company’s best estimate of SSP may also change.
Contract costs. The incremental costs of obtaining a contract are capitalized if the costs are expected to be recovered. Costs that are recognized as assets are amortized straight-line over the period as the related goods or services transfer to the customer. Costs incurred to fulfill a contract are capitalized if they are not covered by other relevant guidance, relate directly to a contract, will be used to satisfy future performance obligations, and are expected to be recovered.
Significant Judgments. The Company may exercise significant judgment when determining whether products and services are considered distinct performance obligations that should be accounted for separately versus together.
Practical Expedients and Exemptions. Under Topic 606, incremental costs of obtaining a contract, such as sales commissions, are capitalized if they are expected to be recovered. Expensing these costs as they are incurred is not permitted unless they qualify for the practical expedient. The Company elected the practical expedient to expense the costs to obtain a contract as incurred when the expected amortization period is one year or less.
The Company elected the practical expedient under Topic 606 to not disclose the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations, since the majority of the Company’s arrangements have original expected durations of one year or less, or the invoicing corresponds to the value of the Company’s performance completed to date.
The Company elected the practical expedient that allows the Company to not assess a contract for a significant financing component if the period between the customer’s payment and the transfer of the goods or services is one year or less.

| Net loss per share | Net loss per share:
The Company calculates net loss per share under the provisions of the relevant accounting guidance. That guidance requires the disclosure of both basic net loss per share, which is based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding, and diluted loss per share, which is based on the weighted average number of shares and dilutive potential shares outstanding.
The number of shares of Common Stock subject to outstanding options and shares issuable upon exercise of warrants excluded from the calculation of loss per share as their inclusion would be anti-dilutive are as follows:
Foreign currency assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the end-of-period exchange rates except for long-term assets and liabilities, which are translated at historical exchange rates. Revenue and expenses are translated at the average exchange rates in effect during each period except for those expenses related to consolidated balance sheet amounts which are translated at historical exchange rates.
Net foreign currency transaction gains and losses are included in interest and other income, net in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses in 2021 and 2020 were insignificant.

||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Income taxes | Income taxes:
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected tax consequences of temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their financial statement reported amounts and for tax loss and credit carry-forwards. A valuation allowance is provided against deferred tax assets when it is determined to be more likely than not that the deferred tax asset will not be realized.

Accounting Standards Update No. 2021-10, Government Assistance (Topic 832). The amended guidance in this update was issued in November 2021 to increase the transparency of government assistance including the disclosure of (1) the types of assistance, (2) an entity’s accounting for the assistance, and (3) the effect of the assistance on an entity’s financial statements. The disclosures about government assistance in the notes to financial statements will provide comparable and transparent information to investors and other financial statement users to enable them to understand an entity’s financial results and prospects for future cash flows. The amendments in update 2021-10 are effective for all entities within its scope for financial statements for annual periods issued beginning after December 15, 2021. Early application of the amendments is permitted.
The Company has evaluated the effects of ASU 2021-10 and do not anticipate it having a material impact to the Company’s financial statements.
Other Accounting Standards Updates issued in 2021 are not currently applicable to the Company, therefore implementation would not be expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows. |
