Notes to Financial Statements  
Going Concern and Management Plans

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.  The Company has incurred an operating loss of approximately $3,206,000 for the year ended December 31, 2013, and has a history of operating losses. Management believes that its repositioned strategy of leading with its Discovery product to measure how work happens and then follow with its integration capabilities through its XM product will shorten the sales cycle and allow for value based selling to our customers and prospects.  The Company anticipates a continued success in this regard based upon current discussions with active customers and prospects.  The Company has borrowed $1,998,000 and $2,671,000 and also retired approximately $1,796,000 and $416,000 of debt in 2012 and 2013, respectively. Additionally, the Company converted $3,800,000 of debt into common stock and has received notification of additional forgiveness of liabilities of $404,000 during 2012.  Should the Company be unable to secure customer contracts that will drive sufficient cash flow to sustain operations, the Company will be forced to seek additional capital in the form of debt or equity financing; however, there can be no assurance that such debt or equity financing will be available. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue in existence.

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All of the Company's subsidiaries are wholly-owned for the periods presented.

 

All significant inter-company accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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 financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual amounts could differ from these estimates.  Significant estimates include the recoverability of long-lived assets, valuation and recoverability of goodwill, stock based compensation, deferred taxes and related valuation allowances and valuation of equity instruments.

Financial Instruments

The carrying amount of the Company’s financial instruments, representing accounts receivable, accounts payable and short-term debt approximate their fair value due to their short term nature.

 

The fair value and carrying amount of long-term debt were as follows:

 

    December 31,  
    2013     2012  
Fair Value   $ 6,110,141     $ 3,420,397  
Carrying Value   $ 6,134,000     $ 3,509,000  

 

Valuations for long-term debt are determined based on borrowing rates currently available to the Company for loans with similar terms and maturities.  These loans have been determined to be Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy and use a discounted cash flow model to determine its valuation. There have been no changes to the valuation technique.

 

Cash

The Company places substantially all cash with various financial institutions. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) covers $250,000 for substantially all depository accounts. The Company from time to time may have amounts on deposit in excess of the insured limits. As of December 31, 2013, the Company did not exceed these insured amounts.

Trade Accounts Receivable

Trade accounts receivable are stated in the amount management expects to collect from outstanding balances.  Management provides for probable uncollectible amounts through a charge to earnings and a credit to the allowance of doubtful accounts based on its assessment of the current status of individual accounts.  Balances still outstanding after management has used reasonable collection efforts are written off through a charge to the allowance of doubtful accounts and a credit to trade accounts receivable.  Changes in the allowance for doubtful accounts have not been material to the financial statements.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment purchased in the normal course of business is stated at cost, and property and equipment acquired in business combinations is stated at its fair market value at the acquisition date.  All property and equipment is depreciated using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives.

 

Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred.

 

The cost and related accumulated depreciation of property and equipment are removed from the accounts upon retirement or other disposition and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Software Development Costs

The Company capitalizes certain software costs after technological feasibility of the product has been established. Generally, an original estimated economic life of three years is assigned to capitalized software costs, once the product is available for general release to customers. Costs incurred prior to the establishment of technological feasibility are charged to research and product development expense.

 

Capitalized software costs are amortized over related sales on a product-by-product basis using the straight-line method over the remaining estimated economic life of the product.

 

The establishment of technological feasibility and the ongoing assessment of recoverability of capitalized software development costs require considerable judgment by management with respect to certain external factors, including, but not limited to, technological feasibility, anticipated future gross revenue, estimated economic life and changes in software and hardware technologies.

Long-Lived Assets

The Company reviews the recoverability of long-lived intangible assets when circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of assets may not be recoverable. This evaluation is based on various analyses including undiscounted cash flow projections. In the event undiscounted cash flow projections indicate impairment, the Company would record an impairment based on the fair value of the assets at the date of the impairment. The Company accounts for impairments under the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") guidance now codified as Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 360 “Property, Plant and Equipment”.

Accrued Other

Accrued other is primarily comprised of accrued dividends of $233,000 and $106,000 at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and the remaining balance is comprised of accrued auditing, royalty, consulting and other.

Revenue Recognition

We derive revenue from three sources: license fees, recurring revenue and professional services. Recurring revenue includes software maintenance and support. Maintenance and support consists of technical support. Professional services primarily consists of consulting, implementation services and training. Significant management judgments and estimates are made and used to determine the revenue recognized in any accounting period. Material differences may result in changes to the amount and timing of our revenue for any period if different conditions were to prevail. We present revenue, net of taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities.

 

We apply the provisions of ASC 985-605, Software Revenue Recognition, to all transactions involving the licensing of software products. In the event of a multiple element arrangement for a license transaction, we evaluate the transaction as if each element represents a separate unit of accounting taking into account all factors following the accounting standards. When such estimates are not available, the completed contract method is utilized. Under the completed contract method, revenue is recognized only when a contract is completed or substantially complete.

 

When licenses are sold together with system implementation and consulting services, license fees are recognized upon delivery, provided that (i) payment of the license fees is not dependent upon the performance of the consulting and implementation services, (ii) the services are available from other vendors, (iii) the services qualify for separate accounting as we have sufficient experience in providing such services, have the ability to estimate cost of providing such services, and have vendor-specific objective evidence of fair value, and (iv) the services are not essential to the functionality of the software.

 

We use signed software license and services agreements and order forms as evidence of an arrangement for sales of software, maintenance and support. We use signed engagement letters to evidence an arrangement for professional services.

 

License Revenue

We recognize license revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the product has been delivered, no significant obligations remain, the fee is fixed or determinable, and collection of the resulting receivable is probable. In software arrangements that include rights to multiple software products and/or services, we use the residual method under which revenue is allocated to the undelivered elements based on vendor-specific objective evidence of the fair value of such undelivered elements. The residual amount of revenue is allocated to the delivered elements and recognized as revenue, assuming all other criteria for revenue recognition have been met. Such undelivered elements in these arrangements typically consist of software maintenance and support, implementation and consulting services.

 

Software is delivered to customers electronically. We assess whether the fee is fixed or determinable based on the payment terms associated with the transaction. We have standard payment terms included in our contracts. We assess collectability based on a number of factors, including the customer’s past payment history and its current creditworthiness. If we determine that collection of a fee is not reasonably assured, we defer the revenue and recognize it at the time collection becomes reasonably assured, which is generally upon receipt of cash payment. If an acceptance period is required, revenue is recognized upon the earlier of customer acceptance or the expiration of the acceptance period.

 

We consider a software element to exist when we determine that the customer has the contractual right to take possession of our software. Professional services are recognized as described below under “Professional Services Revenue.” If vendor-specific evidence of fair value cannot be established for the undelivered elements of an agreement, the entire amount of revenue from the arrangement is recognized ratably over the period that these elements are delivered.

 

Maintenance Revenue

Included in recurring revenue is revenue derived from maintenance and support services. We use vendor-specific objective evidence of fair value for maintenance and support to account for the arrangement using the residual method, regardless of any separate prices stated within the contract for each element. Maintenance and support revenue is recognized ratably over the term of the maintenance contract, which is typically one year. Maintenance and support is renewable by the customer on an annual basis. Maintenance and support rates, including subsequent renewal rates, are typically established based upon a specified percentage of net license fees as set forth in the arrangement.

 

Professional Services Revenue

Included in professional services revenue is revenue derived from system implementation, consulting and training. For software transactions, the majority of our consulting and implementation services and accompanying agreements qualify for separate accounting. We use vendor-specific objective evidence of fair value for the services to account for the arrangement using the residual method, regardless of any separate prices stated within the contract for each element. Our consulting and implementation service contracts are bid on a fixed-fee basis. For fixed fee contracts, where the services are not essential to the functionality, we recognize revenue as services are performed. If the services are essential to functionality, then both the product license revenue and the service revenue are deferred until the services are performed.

 

Training revenue that meets the criteria to be accounted for separately is recognized when training is provided.

Cost of Revenue

The primary component of the Company's cost of revenue for its software products is the amortization of software for the assets acquired from SOAdesk in January 2010. (See Note 4)

 

The primary component of the Company's cost of revenue for maintenance and services is compensation expense.

Advertising Expenses

The Company expenses advertising costs as incurred.  Advertising expenses were approximately $388,000 and $506,000, for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Research and Product Development

Research and product development costs are expensed as incurred.  Research and development expenses were approximately $1,272,000 and $1,476,000, for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Other Income/(Charges)

Other income (net) in fiscal 2012 consists primarily of a write off of certain debt forgiveness of $414,000.

Income Taxes

 

The Company uses FASB guidance now codified as ASC 740 “Income Taxes” to account for income taxes. This statement requires an asset and liability approach that recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the Company's financial statements or tax returns. In estimating future tax consequences, all expected future events, other than enactments of changes in the tax law or rates, are generally considered. A valuation allowance is recorded when it is ''more likely than not'' that recorded deferred tax assets will not be realized.  (See Note 8.)

Loss Per Share

Basic loss per share is computed based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted loss per share is computed based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and any potentially dilutive securities. During 2013 and 2012, potentially dilutive securities included stock options, warrants to purchase common stock, and preferred stock.

 

The following table sets forth the potential shares that are not included in the diluted net loss per share calculation because to do so would be anti-dilutive for the periods presented:

 

    2013     2012  
Stock options     3,396,210       3,921,493  
Warrants     6,281,333       5,928,285  
Preferred stock     11,941,618       11,941,618  
      21,619,161       21,791,396  

 

$127,000 was accrued for dividends on the Series B Preferred Stock in fiscal 2013 and 2012, respectively.  During March 2012, the Company converted $265,000 of accrued dividends into 1,765,333 common shares of the Company.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company adopted ASC 718 “Compensation – Stock Compensation”, which addresses the accounting for stock-based payment transactions in which an enterprise receives employee services in exchange for (a) equity instruments of the enterprise or (b) liabilities that are based on the fair value of the enterprise’s equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of such equity instruments.  The Company granted 25,000 options in fiscal 2013 at an exercise price of $0.05 per share and recognized approximately $8,000 of stock-based compensation.  The Company granted 70,000 options in fiscal 2012 at exercise prices between $0.05 and $0.19 per share and recognized approximately $48,000 of stock-based compensation.  The Company recognized as stock-based compensation approximately $36,000 in fiscal 2013 and 2012 for the restricted shares issued in 2007 to John Broderick, the Chief Executive Officer.  Additionally, the Company recognized as stock based compensation approximately $48,000 and $6,000 in fiscal 2013 and 2012 for the 1,500,000 restricted shares issued in 2012 to John Broderick.

 

The fair value of the Company's stock-based awards to employees was estimated as of the date of the grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, using the following weighted-average assumptions:

 

    2013     2012  
Fair value of common stock   $ 0.05     $ 0.14  
Expected life (in years)   9.99 years     9.85 years  
Expected volatility     169 %     186 %
Risk free interest rate     0.40 %     0.19 %
Expected dividend yield     0 %     0 %
