Members of AppRiver, LLC and Subsidiaries

Gulf Breeze, Florida:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of AppRiver, LLC (a Florida Corporation) and Subsidiaries (the Company), which comprise the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, and the related consolidated statements of earnings and comprehensive income, changes in members’ deficit, and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes to the financial statements.

Management’s responsibility for the financial statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor’s responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements.

Notes to consolidated financial statements

 

1

Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Nature of Business

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of AppRiver, LLC (AppRiver), AppRiver AG (AG) and AppRiver AG Spain, SL (SLU). AppRiver is based in Gulf Breeze, Florida and provides email security solutions to businesses, including protection from spam, viruses, and internet malware. In order to provide these services, the Company maintains a significant vendor relationship. The Company expects to maintain this relationship. In January 2012, the Company’s members agreed to expand operations into Switzerland by forming AG, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. In April 2014, the Company expanded operations into Spain by forming SLU.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of AppRiver, AG and SLU (collectively, the Company) and are prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles of the United States of America (US GAAP). All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company’s cash balances held at financial institutions are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) up to certain limits. From time to time the Company has amounts that exceed the FDIC limit. The amount of credit card receivables included in cash was $591,155 and $444,515 in 2016 and 2015. All Credit and Debit card transactions that settle in less than seven days are also classified as cash and cash equivalents.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable are due from customers for services provided and are presented at face value, net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. Customer balances are due within 30 days of the receipt of the invoice. Management analyzes historical bad debts, current economic trends, and changes in the customer’s payment tendencies when evaluating the allowance for doubtful accounts. Delinquent receivables are written off based on individual credit evaluation and specific circumstances of the customer.


AppRiver, LLC and Subsidiaries   8

 

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are recorded at cost and depreciated by the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the individual assets. When assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and any resulting gain or loss is recognized in income or expense for the period. The cost of maintenance and repairs is charged to expense as incurred; significant renewals and betterments are capitalized. Estimated useful lives are generally as follows:

 

     Estimated Life  

Buildings

     30 years  

Office and computer equipment

     4 years  

Equipment under capital lease

     4 years  

Furniture, fixtures and signs

     10 years  

Software

     3 years  

Vehicles

     5 years  

Leasehold improvements

     10 years  

Revenue Recognition

The Company’s revenues are derived primarily from providing software services under subscription agreements. The revenue is recognized as it is earned according to the terms of the applicable service agreement. For subscriptions extending past the fiscal year, revenues are deferred until earned in the subsequent period.

Deferred Revenue

Deferred revenue primarily consists of billings or payments received in advance of revenue recognition from the subscription services described above and is recognized as the revenue recognition criteria are met.

Cost of Sales

Cost of sales includes hosting costs, licensing fees, salaries and benefits for support personnel, merchant fees and depreciation and amortization related to property and equipment.

Advertising Costs

Advertising costs are charged to operations when incurred.

Income Taxes

AppRiver has elected to be treated as an S Corporation under IRC Section 1362(a); therefore, the Company is generally not liable for Federal income tax. All income is passed through to the members and allocated to its members in accordance with their respective percentage ownership and is taxed at the individual level.

AG and SLU are subject to Swiss tax law and Spanish tax law respectively and pay income tax in their respective jurisdiction. For US tax purposes both AG and SLU are treated as controlled foreign corporations and their taxable income or loss does not pass through to the members of AppRiver. There are no deferred tax assets or liabilities as of December 31, 2016 and 2015.

The Company believes that it has appropriate support for the income tax positions taken and to be taken based on an assessment of many factors, including experience and interpretation of tax laws applied to the facts of each matter. With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to examinations by tax authorities for years before 2012.

Share-based Compensation

The Company records share-based compensation at fair value and expenses the fair value of member share options granted. The Company recognizes the effects of share-based compensation in salaries in the accompanying statements of earnings on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. The fair value of member share options is estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.

Foreign Currency Translation

For AG, whose functional currency is the local foreign currency (CHF), and for SLU, whose functional currency is the local currency (Euro), balance sheet accounts are translated at exchange rates in effect at the end of the year and statement of earnings accounts are translated at average exchange rates for the year. Translation gains and losses are included as a separate component of members’ deficit. Foreign currency translation resulted in an aggregate exchange loss of $13,588 and an aggregate exchange gain of $55,719 in 2016 and 2015, respectively.

Subsequent Events

The Company discloses material events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued. In general, these events are recognized if the condition existed at the date of the balance sheet, but not recognized if the condition did not exist at the balance sheet date. Management has evaluated events occurring subsequent to December 31, 2016 through July 27, 2017, the date the financial statements were available to be issued. The Company executed a $3,500,000 term loan with Silicon Valley Bank. These proceeds were in turn loaned to the primary member.
