PART I

ITEM 1. BUSINESS

Company Overview

Intellinetics is a Nevada holding company incorporated in 1997, with two wholly-owned subsidiaries: (i) Intellinetics, Ohio, an Ohio corporation and (ii) Graphic Sciences, a Michigan corporation. Intellinetics Ohio was incorporated in 1996, and on February 10, 2012, Intellinetics Ohio became the sole operating subsidiary of Intellinetics as a result of a reverse merger and recapitalization. On March 2, 2020, Intellinetics purchased Graphic Sciences, Inc.

We are a document services and software solutions company serving both the small-to-medium business and governmental sectors with their digital transformation and process automation initiatives. On April 1, 2022, we made a significant business acquisition that has significantly impacted our financial operations and grown our business operations. For further information about this acquisition, please see Note 4 to our consolidated financial statements included in Item 8, Part I, Item 1 of this Annual Report.

Our digital transformation products and services are provided through two reporting segments: Document Management and Document Conversion. Our Document Management segment, which includes the Yellow Folder, LLC (“Yellow Folder”) asset acquisition in April 2022, consists primarily of solutions involving our software platform, allowing customers to capture and manage their documents across operations such as scanned hard-copy documents and digital documents including those from Microsoft Office 365, digital images, audio, video and emails. Our Document Conversion segment provides assistance to customers as a part of their overall document strategy to convert documents from one medium to another, predominantly paper to digital, including migration to our software solutions, as well as long-term storage and retrieval services. Our solutions create value for customers by making it easy to connect business-critical documents to the people who need them by making those documents easy to find and access, while also being secure and compliant with the customers’ audit requirements. Solutions are sold both directly to end-users and through resellers.

Our customers use our software by one of two methods: purchasing our software and installing it onto their own equipment, which we refer to as a “premise” model, or licensing and accessing our platform via the Internet, which we refer to as a “software as a service” or “SaaS” model and also as a “cloud-based” model. Licensing of our software through our SaaS model has become increasingly popular among our customers, especially in light of the increased deployment of remote workforce policies, and is a key ingredient in our revenue growth strategy. Our SaaS products are hosted with Amazon Web Services, Expedient, and Evocative, providing our customers with reliable hosting services that we believe are consistent with industry best practices in data security and performance.

We operate a U.S.-based business with concentrated sales to the State of Michigan for our Document Conversion segment, complemented by our diverse set of document management software solutions and services. We hold or compete for leading positions regionally in select markets and attribute this leadership to several factors including the strength of our brand name and reputation, our comprehensive offering of innovative solutions, and the quality of our service support. Net growth in sales of software as a service in recent years reflects market demand for these solutions over traditional sales of on-premise software. We expect to continue to benefit from our select niche leadership market positions, innovative product offerings, growing customer base, and the impact of our sales and marketing programs. Examples of these programs include identifying and investing in growth and expanded market penetration opportunities, more effective products and services pricing strategies, demonstrating superior value to customers, increasing our sales force effectiveness through improved guidance and measurement, and continuing to optimize our lead generation and lead nurturing processes.

Software and Services

Document Management

Our flagship software platforms include a) IntelliCloud^™, reflecting our focus, and the market’s focus, on growth via cloud-based content management and process automation, and b) YellowFolder^™, a specialized content management software solution for the K-12 education market. Our Document Management business also generates software-related professional services that include installation, integration, training, and consulting services, as well as ongoing software maintenance and customer support.

The IntelliCloud^™ suite of software is comprised of stand-alone and integrated modules that include:

Document Conversion

We convert images from paper to digital, paper to microfilm, microfiche to microfilm, and micrographics to digital for businesses and federal, county, and municipal governments. Our Document Conversion business also provides its clients with long-term paper and microfilm storage and retrieval options.

The primary Document Conversion offerings are:

Marketing and Sales

We have a multi-channel sales model that directs our sales efforts through direct sales and through intermediaries, such as independent software vendors, resellers and referral partners. Our Document Management and Document Conversion segments each use direct and reseller channels for sales. We have developed partner-specific marketing programs with channel partners. We believe that our channel partner strategy improvements have increased the competitive strength of our platform of products. In addition, we have established a set of business solutions templates for specific vertical markets that provide base software configurations which we believe will facilitate our delivery and installation of software to our customers in both our direct and reseller channels. We believe that these advancements, in the aggregate, will allow us to license and sell our products to a targeted customer base, shortening our sales cycle, making margins more consistent, and allowing us to expand our sales through existing and new reseller partnerships and direct customers. We continue to devote significant efforts, in both development and marketing, in enhancing all channels to market.

Competition and Market Position

The market for our products is competitive, and we expect that competition will continue to intensify as the document solutions markets evolve and potentially consolidate. We believe that the trend toward electronic document management, and particularly cloud solutions, was accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic.

We believe the primary competitors of our Document Management segment are DocuWare, Square 9, M-files, On-Base, FileBound, Frontline, Laserfiche, Harvest Technology Group, and PowerSchool, who also serve small-to-medium business (SMB), K-12 education, and governmental sectors. The principal competitive factors affecting the market for our document conversion services include: (i) vendor and product reputation; (ii) product quality, performance and price; (iii) the availability of software products on multiple platforms; (iv) product scalability; (v) product integration with other enterprise applications; (vi) software functionality and features; (vii) software ease of use; (viii) the quality of professional services, customer support services and training; and (ix) the ability to address specific customer business problems. We believe that the relative importance of each of these factors depends upon the concerns and needs of each specific customer.

We believe the competitors of our Document Conversion segment vary from local niche entities to larger entities, including Iron Mountain. The principal competitive factors affecting the market for our software products and services include: (i) vendor and services reputation and (ii) services quality, performance and price. We believe that the relative importance of each of these factors depends upon the concerns and needs of each specific customer, and that, for our current and prospective customers, maintaining secure control over the customers’ information is highly valued.

We believe that the consolidated Company has advantages over our competitors in the small-to-medium business market, and particularly organizations in highly regulated, risk and compliance-intensive markets, such as state and local government, non-clinical health care, and K-12 education. In our view, we will remain competitive by remaining a focused niche provider with product offerings aligned with buyer-specific requirements. We anticipate that we will benefit from five specific advantages already in place:

We believe, with these competitive strengths, that we are well positioned as a cloud-based managed document services provider for the small-to-medium business and governmental sectors.

Customers

Document Management

Our Document Management segment in general has fairly low customer concentration. For 2022, the two largest customers of our Document Management segment accounted for approximately 7% and 2%, respectively, of the segment’s revenues for that period. For 2021, the two largest customers of our Document Management segment accounted for approximately 10% and 4%, respectively, of the segment’s revenues for that period.

For the years ended December 31, 2022, and 2021, government contracts, including K-12 education, represented approximately 77% and 56%, respectively, of the Document Management segment’s net revenues, including a significant portion of the segment’s sales to resellers which represent ultimate sales to government agencies. Due to their dependence on state, local and federal budgets, government contracts carry short terms, typically 12 months. Since our inception, our contracts with government customers have generally renewed on the original terms and conditions upon expiration.

Document Conversion

Our Document Conversion segment has significant customer concentration with the State of Michigan. Graphic Sciences’ contract with the State of Michigan is for five years from June 1, 2018 to May 30, 2023 with a provision for two one-year extensions. The contract is issued to Graphic Sciences through the Michigan Department of Management and Budget, Enterprise Procurement and managed through the Department of Management and Budget, Records Management Services Division (RMS).

The contract provides local and state government agencies access to digital and micrographic conversion services. These agencies have the option to perform these conversion services internally or go out to bid if they so choose. Typically, they elect to have these services outsourced to Graphic Sciences through RMS, which eliminates the bidding process.

All Michigan agencies and departments are able to use the services and prices provided under this contract. Mechanically, the work we perform is invoiced to RMS and the end user is invoiced through the State of Michigan accounting system. We do not invoice the end user directly when entities utilize this contract facility, and we have a single point of contact for managing billing and receipt. The state in effect acts as a reseller of our services to the other agencies and makes a mark-up of what is charged. For 2022, the State of Michigan represented approximately 66% of our Document Conversion segment’s net revenues, and 38% of the total consolidated revenues. Our second largest customer in 2022 was Rocket Mortgage, representing 11% of our Document Conversion segment’s net revenues and 6% of the total consolidated revenues. For 2021, the State of Michigan represented approximately 64% of our Document Conversion segment’s net revenues, and 47% of the total consolidated revenues. Rocket Mortgage represented approximately 12% of our Document Conversion segment’s net revenues, and 9% of the total consolidated revenues in 2021.

Intellectual Property

Our software and most of the underlying technologies are built on a Microsoft.Net framework. We rely on a combination of copyright, trademark laws, non-disclosure agreements and other contractual provisions to establish and maintain our proprietary intellectual property rights.

Customers license the right to use our software products on a non-exclusive basis. We grant to third parties rights in our intellectual property that allow them to market certain of our products on a non-exclusive or limited-scope exclusive basis for a particular application of the product or to a particular geographic area.

While we believe that our intellectual property as a whole is valuable and our ability to maintain and protect our intellectual property rights is important to our success, we also believe that our business as a whole is not materially dependent on any particular trademark, license, or other intellectual property right.

Software Development

We design, develop, test, market, license, and support new software products and enhancements of current products. We continuously monitor our software products and enhancements to remain compatible with standard platforms and file formats. We discuss our accounting for such costs, and when we expense or capitalize, in more detail below in “Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates.”

Government Regulation

Other than government procurement rules affecting sales to governmental customers and data privacy laws applicable to all businesses, we do not believe that we are subject to any special governmental regulations or approval requirements affecting our products or services. Complying with the regulations and requirements applicable to our business does not entail a significant cost or burden. We believe that we are in compliance in all material respects with all applicable governmental regulations.

Human Capital

As of March 23, 2023, we employed a total of 166 individuals; all but 27 are full-time employees. Graphic Sciences employs 119 individuals, comprised of 100 full-time and 19 part-time employees, all located in Michigan. Graphic Sciences also utilizes temporary employees, through various agencies, to provide labor for variable project work. Intellinetics Ohio employs 47 individuals, comprised of 39 full-time and 8 part-time employees, primarily located in Ohio and Texas. As a combined company, 21 of our employees work in administration and management, 34 of our employees work in software sales, maintenance and support, and software development, and 111 of our employees work in document services and storage operations.

We consider the integrity, experience, dedication, creativity, and team-oriented nature of our employees to be an essential driver of our business and a key to our future prospects. Personal relationships with our existing customers are an important part of our business, and our customers have come to rely on the personal service and knowledge of our workforce across all functional areas. To attract and retain qualified applicants to our company and retain our employees, we offer total benefits packages consisting of base salary or hourly wage (depending on position), a comprehensive benefits package, and equity compensation for certain employees. Annual cash bonuses are based on our profitability, achievement of targets and level of responsibility. When selecting talent, we consider education, experience, diversity, and the likelihood that a candidate will espouse our values of integrity, collaboration, dedication, creativity, and superior customer service.

We are committed to fostering a diverse and inclusive workforce that attracts and retains exceptional talent. In addition, we pride ourselves on an open culture that respects co-workers, values employees’ health and well-being and fosters professional development. We support employee growth and development in a variety of ways including with training opportunities and an overall strategy of promotion from within. Our management conducts annual employee engagement surveys and, for supervisors and above, annual individual employee assessments with an emphasis on individual development for each employee.

We remain focused on protecting the health and safety of our employees with respect to COVID-19. In April of 2020, we instituted safe distancing practices and additional cleaning procedures for all company offices and facilities, and our offices in Michigan and Ohio were reconfigured to maintain physical distancing. Wherever feasible, we have encouraged employees to work from home. To date, our employees who work in software sales, maintenance and support, and software development continue to work remotely. Our remote working arrangements have not significantly affected our ability to maintain critical business operations.

We believe that relations with our employees are good. None of our employees are represented by a labor union, and we do not have collective bargaining arrangements with any of our employees. In addition, as of March 23, 2023, we engaged three independent contractors.

The foregoing reports are also publicly available at the SEC’s website: www.sec.gov/edgar.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

Our business and future operating results may be affected by many risks, uncertainties and other factors, including those set forth below and those contained elsewhere in this report. If any of the following risks were to occur, our business, affairs, assets, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and prospects could be materially and adversely affected. When we say that something could have a material adverse effect on us or on our business, we mean that it could have one or more of these effects.

In addition to the other information contained in this report, the following risk factors should be considered carefully in evaluating our company. Our business, financial condition, liquidity or results of operations could be materially adversely affected by any of these risks.

Risks Relating to Our Business

General inflation and increases in the minimum wage and general labor costs have affected and may continue to adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Labor is a significant portion of our cost structure and is subject to many external factors, including minimum wage laws, prevailing wage rates, unemployment levels, health insurance costs and other insurance costs and changes in employment and labor legislation or other workplace regulation. Most companies experienced an increase in labor costs in 2022 and expect additional increases in 2023. As the cost of labor and statutory minimum wage rates increase or related laws and regulations change, we will need to continue to increase not only the wage rates of our minimum wage employees, but also the wages paid to our other hourly or salaried employees. Increases in the cost of our labor could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations, or if we fail to pay such higher wages we could suffer increased employee turnover. Increases in labor costs generally could force us to increase prices for other customers, which could adversely impact our sales. For some customers with multi-year fixed pricing contracts, increases in the minimum wage could decrease our profit margins or result in losses and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We have been and could continue to be negatively impacted by the novel coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19) and related governmental actions and orders and market effects.

The coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19) and related economic downturn continues to pose various and interrelated risks to our customers, our employees, our vendors and the communities in which we operate, which have all negatively impacted, and may continue to negatively impact, our business. From March 24, 2020 to current, customers have responded with varying levels of project postponements, particularly in our document conversion segment, which generally requires picking up boxes from customer sites. Our level of customer engagement in document conversion has varied with the ebb and flow of the initial virus and the subsequent variants and outbreaks. The State of Michigan, our largest customer, does not appear likely to return all of its agencies and departments to on site work at pre-pandemic levels. In addition, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected by future outbreaks of COVID-19 generally or in our facilities. If the pandemic or its recovery continues to reduce customer’s budgets and restrict business operations, the pandemic may have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows and adversely impact the trading price of our common stock.

Any significant reduction in the sales efforts or cooperative efforts from our partners could materially impact our revenues.

We rely on close cooperation with our resellers for sales and product development as well as for the optimization of opportunities that arise in our competitive environment. In particular, the success of our reseller program is entirely dependent upon our relationships with resellers of multi-functional devices, which are currently being purchased by current and potential customers in our target markets. Our success will depend, in part, upon our ability to maintain access to existing channels of distribution and to gain access to new channels if and when they develop. We may not be able to retain a sufficient number of our existing partners or develop a sufficient number of future partners. We are unable to predict the extent to which our partners will be successful in marketing and licensing our products. A reduction in partner cooperation or sales efforts, or a decline in the number of channels, could materially reduce revenues.

If we are unable to continue to attract new customers and increase market awareness of our company and solutions, our revenue growth could be slower than we expect or could decline.

We believe that our future growth depends in part upon increasing our customer base. Our ability to achieve significant growth in revenue in the future will depend, in part, upon continually attracting new customers and obtaining subscription renewals to our solutions from those customers. Market awareness of our capabilities and solutions is essential to our ability to generate new leads for expanding our business and our continued growth. If we fail to sufficiently invest in our marketing programs or they are unsuccessful in attracting new customers by creating market awareness of our company and solutions, our business may be harmed.

If our existing customers fail to renew their support agreements, or if customers do not license updated products on terms favorable to us, our revenues could be adversely affected.

We currently derive a significant portion of our overall revenues from maintenance services and software subscriptions, and we depend on our installed customer base for future revenue from maintenance services and software subscriptions and licenses of updated products. The IT industry generally has been experiencing increasing pricing pressure from customers when purchasing or renewing support agreements. Moreover, the trend towards consolidation in certain industries that we serve, such as financial services, could result in a reduction of the software under agreement and put pressure on our maintenance and support terms with customers who have merged. Given this environment, there can be no assurance that our current customers will renew their maintenance agreements or agree to the same terms when they renew, which could result in a reduction or loss of maintenance fees. If our existing customers fail to renew their maintenance agreements, or if we are unable to generate additional maintenance fees through the licensing of updated products to existing or new customers, our business and future operating results could be adversely affected.

Reduced IT or enterprise software spending may adversely impact our business.

Our business depends on the overall demand for IT and enterprise software spend and on the economic health of our current and prospective customers. Any meaningful reduction in IT or enterprise software spending or weakness in the economic health of our current and prospective customers could harm our business in a number of ways, including longer sales cycles and lower prices for our solutions.

Current and future competitors could have a significant impact on our ability to generate future revenues and profits.

The markets for our products are intensely competitive, and are subject to rapid technological change and other pressures created by changes in our industry. The convergence of many technologies has resulted in unforeseen competitors arising from companies that were traditionally not viewed as threats to our marketplace. We expect competition to increase and intensify in the future as the pace of technological change and adaptation quickens, and as additional companies enter our markets, including those competitors who offer similar products and services to ours, but offer them through a different form of delivery. Numerous releases of competitive products have occurred in recent history and are expected to continue in the future. We may not be able to compete effectively with current competitors and potential entrants into our marketplace. We could lose market share if our current or prospective competitors: (i) introduce new competitive products, (ii) add new functionality to existing products, (iii) acquire competitive products, (iv) reduce prices, or (v) form strategic alliances with other companies. If other businesses were to engage in aggressive pricing policies with respect to competing products, or if the dynamics in our marketplace resulted in increased bargaining power by the consumers of our products and services, we would need to lower the prices we charge for the products we offer. This could result in lower revenues or reduced margins, either of which could materially and adversely affect our business and operating results. Additionally, if prospective consumers choose other methods of document solutions delivery, different from those that we offer, our business and operating results could also be materially and adversely affected.

Consolidation in the industry, particularly by large, well-capitalized companies, could place pressure on our operating margins which could, in turn, have a material adverse effect on our business.

Acquisitions by large, well-capitalized technology companies have changed the marketplace for our goods and services by replacing competitors that are comparable in size to our company with companies that have more resources at their disposal to compete with us in the marketplace. In addition, other large corporations with considerable financial resources either have products that compete with the products we offer, or have the ability to encroach on our competitive position within our marketplace. These companies have considerable financial resources, channel influence, and broad geographic reach; thus, they can engage in competition with our products and services on the basis of sales price, marketing, services, or support. They also have the ability to introduce items that compete with our maturing products and services. The threat posed by larger competitors and their ability to use their better economies of scale to sell competing products and services at a lower cost may materially reduce the profit margins we earn on the goods and services we provide to the marketplace. Any material reduction in our profit margin may have a material adverse effect on the operations or finances of our business, which could hinder our ability to raise capital in the public markets at opportune times for strategic acquisitions or general operational purposes, which may prevent effective strategic growth or improved economies of scale or put us at a disadvantage to our better-capitalized competitors.

We must manage our internal resources during periods of company growth, or our operating results could be adversely affected.

The document solutions market has continued to evolve at a rapid pace. If we are successful with our growth plans, any growth will place significant strains on our administrative and operational resources, and increase demands on our internal systems, procedures and controls. Our administrative infrastructure, systems, procedures and controls may not adequately support our operations. In addition, our management may not be able to achieve a rapid, effective execution of the product and business initiatives necessary to successfully implement our operational and competitive strategy. If we are unable to manage growth effectively, our operating results will likely suffer which may, in turn, adversely affect our business.

We may be unable to acquire other businesses, technologies or companies or engage in other strategic transactions, and we may not be able to successfully realize the benefits of and may be exposed to a variety of risks from any such strategic transactions.

The acquisitions of Yellow Folder in 2022 and Graphic Sciences and CEO Imaging Systems, Inc., both in 2020, were our first strategic business acquisitions. As part of our growth strategy, we also expect to continue to evaluate and consider potential strategic transactions, including business combinations, acquisitions and strategic alliances, to enhance our existing businesses and to develop new products and services. At any given time, we may be engaged in discussions or negotiations with respect to one or more of these types of transactions, and any of these transactions could be material to our financial condition and results of operations. However, we do not know if we will be able to identify any future opportunities that we believe will be beneficial for us. Even if we are able to identify an appropriate business opportunity, we may not be able to successfully consummate the transaction, and even if we do consummate such a transaction we may be unable to obtain the benefits or avoid the difficulties and risks of such transaction.

Any future acquisition involves risks commonly encountered in business relationships, including:

We cannot assure you that we will make any additional acquisitions, or that any future acquisitions will be successful, will assist us in the accomplishment of our business strategy, or will generate sufficient revenues to offset the associated costs and other adverse effects or will otherwise result in us receiving the intended benefits of the acquisition. In addition, we cannot assure you that any future acquisition of new businesses or technology will lead to the successful development of new or enhanced customer relationships, products, and services, or that any new or enhanced products and services, if developed, will achieve market acceptance or prove to be profitable.

Risks Related to Product Development

We need to continue to develop new technologically-advanced products that successfully integrate with the software products and enhancements used by our customers.

Our success depends upon our ability to design, develop, test, market, license, and support new software products and enhancements of current products on a timely basis in response to both competitive threats and marketplace demands. Recent examples of significant trends in the software industry include cloud computing, mobility, social media, networking, browser, and software as a service. In addition, software products and enhancements must remain compatible with standard platforms and file formats. Often, we must integrate software licensed or acquired from third parties with our proprietary software to create or improve our products. If we are unable to achieve a successful integration with third-party software, we may not be successful in developing and marketing our new software products and enhancements. If we are unable to successfully integrate third-party software to develop new software products and enhancements to existing products, or to complete products currently under development which we license or acquire from third parties, our operating results will materially suffer. In addition, if the integrated or new products or enhancements do not achieve acceptance by the marketplace, our operating results will materially suffer. Also, if new industry standards emerge that we do not anticipate or adapt to, our software products could be rendered obsolete and, as a result, our business and operating results, as well as our ability to compete in the marketplace, would be materially harmed.

If our products and services do not gain market acceptance, our operating results may be negatively affected.

We intend to pursue our strategy of growing the capabilities of our document solutions software offerings through our proprietary research and the development of new product offerings. In response to customer demand, it is important to our success that we continue: (i) to enhance our products, and (ii) to seek to set the standard for document solutions capabilities in the small-to-medium market. The primary market for our software and services is rapidly evolving, due to the nature of the rapidly changing software industry, which means that the level of acceptance of products and services that have been released recently or that are planned for future release by the marketplace is not certain. If the markets for our products and services fail to develop, develop more slowly than expected or become subject to increased competition, our business may suffer. As a result, we may be unable to: (i) successfully market our current products and services, (ii) develop new software products, services and enhancements to current products and services, (iii) complete customer installations on a timely basis, or (iv) complete products and services currently under development. In addition, increased competition could put significant pricing pressures on our products, which could negatively impact our margins and profitability. If our products and services are not accepted by our customers or by other businesses in the marketplace, our business and operating results will be materially affected.

Our investment in our current research and development efforts may not provide a sufficient, timely return.

The development of document solutions software products is a costly, complex, and time-consuming process, and the investment in document solutions software product development often involves a long wait until a return is achieved on such an investment. When cash is available, we make and will continue to make significant investments in software research and development and related product opportunities. Investments in new technology and processes are inherently speculative. Commercial success depends on many factors including the degree of innovation of the products developed through our research and development efforts, sufficient support from our strategic partners, and effective distribution and marketing. Accelerated product introductions and short product life cycles require high levels of expenditures for research and development. These expenditures may adversely affect our operating results if they are not offset by increased revenues. We believe that we must continue to dedicate a significant amount of resources to our research and development efforts in order to maintain our competitive position. However, significant revenues from new product and service investments may not be achieved for a number of years, if at all. Moreover, new products and services may not be profitable, and even if they are profitable, operating margins for new products and businesses may not be as high as the margins we have experienced for our current or historical products and services.

Product development is a long, expensive, and uncertain process, and we may terminate one or more of our development programs.

We may determine that certain product candidates or programs do not have sufficient potential to warrant the continued allocation of resources. Accordingly, we may elect to terminate one or more of our programs for such product candidates. If we terminate a product in development in which we have invested significant resources, our prospects may suffer, as we will have expended resources on a project that does not provide a return on our investment and we may have missed the opportunity to have allocated those resources to potentially more productive uses, and this may negatively impact our business operating results or financial condition.

Our products may contain defects that could harm our reputation, be costly to correct, delay revenues, and expose us to litigation.

Our products are highly complex and sophisticated and, from time to time, may contain design defects or software errors that are difficult to detect and correct. Errors may be found in new software products or improvements to existing products after delivery to our customers. If these defects are discovered, we may not be able to successfully correct such defects in a timely manner. In addition, despite the tests we conduct on all of our products, we may not be able to fully simulate the environment in which our products will operate and, as a result, we may be unable to adequately detect the design defects or software errors which may become apparent only after the products are installed in an end-user’s network. The occurrence of errors and failures in our products could result in the delay or the denial of market acceptance of our products, and alleviating such errors and failures may require us to make significant expenditure of our resources. The harm to our reputation resulting from product errors and failures may be materially damaging. Because we regularly provide a warranty with our products, the financial impact of fulfilling warranty obligations may be significant in the future. Our agreements with our strategic partners and end-users typically contain provisions designed to limit our exposure to claims. These agreements regularly contain terms such as the exclusion of all implied warranties and the limitation of the availability of consequential or incidental damages. However, such provisions may not effectively protect us against claims and the attendant liabilities and costs associated with such claims. Accordingly, any such claim could negatively affect our business, operating results or financial condition.

The use of open-source software in our products may expose us to the risk of having to disclose the source code to our product, rendering our software no longer proprietary and reducing or eliminating its value.

Certain open-source software is licensed pursuant to license agreements that require a user who distributes the open-source software as a component of the user’s software to disclose publicly part or all of the source code to the user’s software. This effectively renders what was previously proprietary software open-source software. As competition in our markets increases, we must strive to be cost-effective in our product development activities. Many features we may wish to add to our products in the future may be available as open-source software, and our development team may wish to make use of this software to reduce development costs and speed up the development process. While we carefully monitor the use of all open-source software and try to ensure that no open-source software is used in such a way as to require us to disclose the source code to the related product, such use could inadvertently occur. Additionally, if a third party has incorporated certain types of open-source software into its software but has failed to disclose the presence of such open-source software, and we embed that third-party software into one or more of our products, we could, under certain circumstances, be required to disclose the source code to our product. This could have a material adverse effect on our business.

The loss of licenses to use third-party software or the lack of support or enhancement of such software could adversely affect our business.

We currently depend upon a limited number of third-party software products. If such software products were not available, we might experience delays or increased costs in the development of our products. In certain instances, we rely on software products that we license from third parties, including software that is integrated with internally-developed software, and which is used in our products to perform key functions. These third-party software licenses may not continue to be available to us on commercially reasonable terms, and the related software may not continue to be appropriately supported, maintained, or enhanced by the licensors. The loss by us of the license to use, or the inability by licensors to support, maintain, and enhance any of such software, could result in increased costs or in delays or reductions in product shipments until equivalent software is developed or licensed and integrated with internally-developed software. Such increased costs or delays or reductions in product shipments could adversely affect our business.

Financial Risks

We need to continue to maintain an effective system of internal controls, in order to be able to report our financial results accurately and timely and prevent fraud.

Effective internal control is necessary for us to provide reliable financial reports and prevent fraud. We maintain a small accounting and reporting staff, concentrated in a few individuals. Any future weaknesses in our internal controls and procedures over financial reporting could result in material misstatements in our consolidated financial statements not being prevented or detected. We may experience difficulties or delays in completing remediation or may not be able to successfully remediate material weaknesses at all. Any material weakness or unsuccessful remediation could affect our ability to file periodic reports on a timely basis and investor confidence in the accuracy and completeness of our consolidated financial statements, which in turn could harm our business and have an adverse effect on our stock price and our ability to raise additional funds.

We may not be able to generate sufficient cash to service any indebtedness or contingent transaction consideration that we may incur from time to time, which could force us to sell assets, cease operations, or take other detrimental actions for our business.

Our ability to make scheduled payments on or to refinance any debt or contingent transaction obligations that we have or may incur depends on our financial condition and operating performance, which are subject to prevailing economic and competitive conditions and to certain financial, business, and other factors beyond our control. We currently have approximately $1 million in principal amount of debt maturing from February to August of 2023, and approximately $3 million in principal amount of debt maturing in March of 2025. In addition, we have operated with a history of losses. For 2022, we had a net income of approximately zero (break even). For 2021, we had a net income of $1.4 million, including $0.8 million of PPP forgiveness. For 2020, we had a net loss of $2.2 million, including a change in fair value of earnout liabilities of $1.6 million. We have an accumulated deficit of $21.6 million as of December 31, 2022. Our ability to meet our capital needs in the future will depend on many factors, including maintaining and enhancing our operating cash flow, successfully managing the transition of our recent acquisitions, successfully retaining and growing our client base in the midst of general economic uncertainty including an inflationary environment, and managing any continuing effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business. We cannot ensure that we will maintain a level of cash flows from operating activities sufficient to permit us to pay the principal, premium, if any, and interest on any indebtedness.

If our cash flows and capital resources are at any time insufficient to fund our obligations, we may be forced to reduce or delay investments and capital expenditures, or to sell assets, seek additional capital, restructure or refinance our indebtedness, or reduce or cease operations. There can be no assurance that additional capital or debt financing will be available to us at any time. Even if additional capital is available, we may not be able to obtain debt or equity financing on terms favorable to us. In the absence of such operating results and resources, we could face substantial liquidity problems and might be required to reduce or curtail our operations.

The terms of our promissory notes will restrict our financing flexibility.

The terms of promissory notes we issued in 2020 and 2022 contain standard negative covenants customary for transactions of this type. These negative covenants may preclude or restrict our ability to obtain future debt and convertible debt financings without the prior approval of holders of the previous notes. The events of default are also customary for transactions of this type, including default in timely payment of principal or interest, failure to observe or perform any covenant or agreement contained in the convertible note and other transaction documents, the commencement of bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings, and failure to timely file Exchange Act filings.

If our estimates or judgments relating to our critical accounting policies are based on assumptions that change or prove to be incorrect, our operating results could fall below expectations of securities analysts and investors,

resulting in a decline in our stock price.

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, as provided in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations-Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates” in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Our operating results may be adversely affected if our assumptions change or if actual circumstances differ from those in our assumptions, which could cause our operating results to fall below the expectations of securities analysts and investors, resulting in a decline in our stock price. Significant assumptions and estimates used in preparing our consolidated financial statements include those related to revenue recognition, deferred contract costs and commission expense, accounting for business combination, troubled debt restructuring and stock compensation.

The loss of a major customer or the failure to collect a large account receivable could negatively affect our results of operations and financial condition.

Revenues from a limited number of customers have accounted for a substantial percentage of our total revenues. Our two largest clients account for approximately 38% and 6%, and 47% and 9%, of our revenues for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. For the years ended December 31, 2022, and 2021, government contracts, including K-12 education, represented approximately 77% and 72% of our net revenues, respectively. The loss of one of our clients or the loss of a meaningful percentage of government contracts could materially affect our business and operating results.

A significant downturn in our business may not be immediately reflected in our operating results because of the way we recognize revenue.

We recognize revenue from subscription agreements ratably over the terms of these agreements, which are typically one year. As a result, a significant portion of the revenue we report in each quarter is generated from customer agreements entered into during previous periods, which is reflected as deferred revenue on our balance sheet. Consequently, a decline in new or renewed subscriptions, or a downgrade of renewed subscriptions to less-expensive editions, in any one quarter may not be fully reflected in our revenue in that quarter, and may negatively affect our revenue in future quarters. If contracts having significant value expire and are not renewed or replaced at the beginning of a quarter or are downgraded, our revenue may decline significantly in that quarter and subsequent quarters.

Legal and Regulatory Risks

Our contracts with government clients subject us to risks including early termination, audits, investigations, sanctions, and penalties.

A significant portion of our revenues comes from contracts with state and local governments, and their respective agencies, which may terminate most of these contracts at any time, without cause. As discussed above, government contracts constitute a significant portion of our total revenues. At this time, governments and their agencies are operating under increased pressure to reduce spending. Contracts at the state and local levels are subject to government funding authorizations. Additionally, government contracts are generally subject to audits and investigations that could result in various civil and criminal penalties and administrative sanctions, including termination of contracts, refund of a portion of fees received, forfeiture of profits, suspension of payments, fines and suspensions, or debarment from future government business.

We are subject to the reporting requirements of federal securities laws, causing us to make significant compliance-related expenditures that may divert resources from other projects, thus impairing its ability to grow.

We are subject to the information and reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, and other federal securities laws, including the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. The costs of preparing and filing annual and quarterly reports, proxy statements and other information with the Commission and furnishing audited reports to stockholders causes our expenses to be higher than most other similarly-sized companies that are privately held. As a public company, we expect these rules and regulations to continue to keep our compliance costs high in 2023 and beyond, and to make certain activities more time-consuming and costly. As a public company, we also expect that these rules and regulations may make it more difficult and expensive for us to obtain director and officer liability insurance in the future, and we may be required to accept reduced policy limits and coverage or incur substantially higher costs to obtain the same or similar coverage. As a result, it may be more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified persons to serve on our board of directors or as executive officers.

The elimination of monetary liability against our directors, officers, agents and employees under Nevada law, and the existence of indemnification rights to such persons, may result in substantial expenditures by us and may discourage lawsuits against our directors, officers, agents and employees.

Our articles of incorporation and bylaws contain provisions permitting us to eliminate the personal liability of our directors, officers, agents and employees to the Company and our stockholders for damages for breach of fiduciary duty to the extent provided by Nevada law. We may also have contractual indemnification obligations under our employment agreements with our officers. The foregoing indemnification obligations could result in our incurring substantial expenditures to cover the cost of settlement or damage awards against directors, officers, agents and employees, which we may be unable to recoup. These provisions and resultant costs may also discourage our Company from bringing a lawsuit against certain individuals for breaches of their fiduciary duties, and may similarly discourage the filing of derivative litigation by our stockholders against our directors, officers, agents and employees even though such actions, if successful, might otherwise benefit us and our stockholders.

Security breaches may harm our business.

Any security breaches, unauthorized access, unauthorized usage, virus or similar breach or disruption could result in loss of confidential information, damage to our reputation, early termination of our contracts, litigation, regulatory investigations or other liabilities. Our clients may use our products and services to handle personally identifiable information, sensitive personal information, protected health information, or information that is otherwise confidential. If our security measures or those of our third-party data centers are breached as a result of third-party action, employee error, malfeasance or otherwise and, as a result, someone obtains unauthorized access to customer data, our reputation could be damaged, our business may suffer and we could incur significant liability.

The United States has laws and regulations relating to data privacy, security, and retention and transmission of information. We have certain measures to protect our information systems against unauthorized access and disclosure of our confidential information and confidential information belonging to our customers. We have policies and procedures in place dealing with data security and records retention. However, there is no assurance that the security measures we have put in place will be effective in every case.

There has been an increase in the number of private privacy-related lawsuits filed against companies in recent years. There has also been an increase in the incidence of data breaches in public companies operating in the US, resulting in unfavorable publicity and high amounts of damages against the breached companies, including the cost of obtaining credit monitoring services for all persons whose information was compromised. In addition, we are unable to predict what additional legislation or regulation in the area of privacy of personal information could be enacted and what effect that could have on our operations and business. Concerns about our practices with regard to the collection, use, disclosure, or security of personal information or other privacy-related matters, even if unfounded and even if we are in compliance with applicable laws, could damage our reputation and harm our business.

Breaches, or perceived breaches, in security could result in a negative impact for us and for our customers, potentially affecting our business, assets, revenues, brand, and reputation, and resulting in penalties, fines, litigation, remediation costs, increased insurance costs, and other potential liabilities, in each case depending upon the nature of the information disclosed. These risks to our business may increase as we expand the number of products and services we offer.

We may become involved in litigation that may materially adversely affect us.

From time to time in the ordinary course of our business, we may become involved in various legal proceedings, including commercial, product liability, employment, class action, and other litigation and claims, as well as governmental and other regulatory investigations and proceedings. We provide business management solutions that we believe are critical to the operations of our customers’ businesses and provide benefits that may be difficult to quantify. Any failure of a customer’s system installed by us or of the services offered by us could result in a claim for substantial damages against us, regardless of our responsibility for the failure. Although we attempt to limit our contractual liability for damages resulting from negligent acts, errors, mistakes, or omissions in rendering our services, we cannot assure you that the limitations on liability we include in our agreements will be enforceable in all cases, or that those limitations on liability will otherwise protect us from liability for damages. There can be no assurance that any insurance coverage we may have in place will be adequate or that current coverages will remain available at acceptable costs. Such matters can be time-consuming, divert management’s attention and resources, and cause us to incur significant expenses. Furthermore, because litigation is inherently unpredictable, the results of any such actions may have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, or financial condition.

Any claim that we infringe on a third party’s intellectual property could materially increase costs and materially harm our ability to generate future revenues and profits.

Claims of infringement are becoming increasingly common as the software industry develops and as related legal protections, including patents are applied to software products. Although we are not aware of any infringement on the rights of third parties, third parties may assert infringement claims against us in the future. Although most of our technology is proprietary in nature, we do include certain third-party software in our products. In these cases, this software is licensed from the entity holding the intellectual property rights. Although we believe that we have secured proper licenses for all third-party software that is integrated into our products, third parties may assert infringement claims against us in the future. The third parties making these assertions and claims may include non-practicing entities (known as “patent trolls”) whose business model is to obtain patent-licensing revenues from operating companies, such as ours. Any such assertion, regardless of merit, may result in litigation or may require us to obtain a license for the intellectual property rights of third parties. Such licenses may not be available, or they may not be available on reasonable terms. In addition, such litigation could be time-consuming, disruptive to our ability to generate revenues or enter into new market opportunities, and may result in significantly increased costs as a result of our defense against those claims or our attempt to license the intellectual property rights or rework our products to avoid infringement of third-party rights to ensure they comply with judicial decisions. Our agreements with our partners and end-users typically contain provisions that require us to indemnify them, with certain limitations on the total amount of such indemnification, for damages sustained by them as a result of any infringement claims involving our products. Any of the foregoing results of an infringement claim could have a significant adverse impact on our business and operating results, as well as our ability to generate future revenues and profits.

Risks Relating to Our Common Stock

We may have to issue additional securities at prices which may result in substantial dilution to our stockholders.

If we raise additional funds through the sale of equity or convertible debt, our current stockholders’ percentage ownership will be reduced. In addition, these transactions may dilute the value of ordinary shares outstanding. We may have to issue securities that may have rights, preferences, and privileges senior to our common stock. We cannot provide assurance that we will be able to raise additional funds on terms acceptable to us, if at all. If future financing is not available or is not available on acceptable terms, we may not be able to fund our future needs, which would have a material adverse effect on our business plans, prospects, results of operations, and financial condition.

Shares of our common stock that have not been registered under the Securities Act, regardless of whether such shares are restricted or unrestricted, are subject to resale restrictions imposed by Rule 144.

Pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), a “shell company” is defined as a company that has no or nominal operations, and either no or nominal assets, assets consisting solely of cash and cash equivalents, or assets consisting of any amount of cash and cash equivalents and nominal other assets. As such, we were a shell company pursuant to Rule 144 prior to 2012. Even though we are no longer a shell company, investors may be reluctant to invest in our securities because securities of a former shell company may not be as freely tradable as securities of companies that are not former “shell companies.” In addition, since we are a former shell company, shareholders with restricted securities cannot rely upon Rule 144 for sales of restricted securities in the event that we are not current in our filing obligations under the Exchange Act.

An active, liquid and orderly market for our common shares may not be sustained, and you may not be able to sell your common shares.

Our common shares trade on the NYSE American exchange. We cannot assure you that an active trading market for our common shares will be sustained. The lack of an active market may impair your ability to sell the common shares at the time you wish to sell them or at a price that you consider reasonable. An inactive market may also impair our ability to raise capital by selling common shares and may impair our ability to acquire other businesses, applications or technologies using our common shares as consideration, which, in turn, could materially adversely affect our business.

We are subject to the continued listing requirements of the NYSE American. If we are unable to comply with such requirements, our common shares would be delisted from the NYSE American, which would limit investors’ ability to effect transactions in our common shares and subject us to additional trading restrictions.

Our common shares are currently listed on the NYSE American. In order to maintain our listing, we must maintain certain share prices, financial and share distribution targets, including maintaining a minimum amount of shareholders’ equity and a minimum number of public shareholders. In addition to these objective standards, the NYSE American may delist the securities of any issuer if, in its opinion, the issuer’s financial condition and/or operating results appear unsatisfactory; if an issuer fails to comply with the NYSE American’s listing requirements; or if any other event occurs or any condition exists which makes continued listing on the NYSE American, in its opinion, inadvisable.  If the NYSE American delists our common shares from trading on its exchange and we are not able to list our securities on another national securities exchange, we expect our common shares would qualify to be quoted on an over-the-counter market. If this were to occur, we could face significant material adverse consequences, including: a limited availability of market quotations for our securities; reduced liquidity for our securities; a determination that our common shares are a “penny stock” which will require brokers trading in our common shares to adhere to more stringent rules and possibly result in a reduced level of trading activity in the secondary trading market for our securities; a limited amount of news and analyst coverage; and a decreased ability to issue additional securities or obtain additional financing in the future.

The market price of our common stock may limit the appeal of certain alternative compensation structures that we might offer to the high-quality employees we seek to attract and retain.

If the market price of our common stock performs poorly, such performance may adversely affect our ability to retain or attract critical personnel. For example, if we were to offer options to purchase shares of our common stock as part of an employee’s compensation package, the attractiveness of such a compensation package would be highly dependent upon the performance of our common stock.

In addition, any changes made to any of our compensation practices which are made necessary by governmental regulations or competitive pressures could adversely affect our ability to retain and motivate existing personnel and recruit new personnel. For example, any limit to total compensation which may be prescribed by the government, or any significant increases in personal income tax levels in the United States, may hurt our ability to attract or retain our executive officers or other employees whose efforts are vital to our success.

Shares eligible for future sale may adversely affect the market price of our common stock.

From time to time, certain of our stockholders may be eligible to sell all or some of their shares of common stock by means of ordinary brokerage transactions in the open market pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act, subject to certain limitations. Any substantial sale of our common stock pursuant to Rule 144 may have an adverse effect on the market price of our common stock.

The price of our common stock may fluctuate significantly and lead to losses by stockholders.

The common stock of public companies can experience extreme price and volume fluctuations. These fluctuations often have been unrelated or out of proportion to the operating performance of such companies. We expect our stock price to be similarly volatile. These broad market fluctuations may continue and could harm our stock price. Any negative change in the public’s perception of the prospects of our business or companies in our industry could also depress our stock price, regardless of our actual results. Factors affecting the trading price of our common stock may include:

Further, the stock market in general, and securities of smaller companies in particular, can experience extreme price and volume fluctuations. Continued market fluctuations could result in extreme volatility in the price of our common stock, which could cause a decline in the value of our common stock. You should also be aware that price volatility might be worse if the trading volume of our common stock is low. Occasionally, periods of volatility in the market price of a company’s securities may lead to the institution of securities class action litigation against a company. Due to the volatility of our stock price, we may be the target of such securities litigation in the future. Such legal action could result in substantial costs to defend our interests and a diversion of management’s attention and resources, each of which would have a material adverse effect on our business and operating results.

FINRA sales practice requirements may limit a shareholder’s ability to buy and sell our stock.

The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority has adopted rules that require that in recommending an investment to a customer, a broker-dealer must have reasonable grounds for believing that the investment is suitable for that customer. Prior to recommending speculative, low-priced securities to their non-institutional customers, broker-dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtain information about the customer’s financial status, tax status, investment objectives, and other information. Under interpretations of these rules, FINRA believes that there is a high probability that speculative, low-priced securities will not be suitable for at least some customers. The FINRA requirements make it more difficult for broker-dealers to recommend that their customers buy our common stock, which may limit your ability to buy and sell our stock and have an adverse effect on the market for our shares.

We do not expect to pay any dividends on our common stock for the foreseeable future.

We do not anticipate that we will pay any cash dividends to holders of our common stock in the foreseeable future. Instead, we plan to retain any earnings to maintain and expand our existing operations. The declaration, payment, and amount of any future dividends, if any, will be made at the discretion of our board of directors, and will depend upon, among other things, the results of our operations, cash flows and financial condition, operating and capital requirements, and other factors that the board of directors considers relevant. We currently are subject to loan covenants that would require consent from our lenders in order to pay any dividends prior to repayment of certain outstanding loans. In addition, any future credit facilities we enter into may contain terms prohibiting or limiting the amount of dividends that may be declared or paid on our common stock.

General Risks

Global economic conditions and uncertainty are likely to adversely affect our operating results or financing in ways that are hard to predict or to defend against.

Our overall performance depends on economic conditions. The United States’ and world economies are currently anticipating a recession, and suffering from uncertainty, inflation, volatility, disruption, and other adverse conditions, primarily caused by disruptions in the global economy from the effects of the war in Ukraine, including global sanctions on Russia, and those conditions will continue to adversely impact the business community and financial markets for some time. Moreover, instability in the global economy affects countries, including the United States, with varying levels of severity, which makes the impact on our business complex and unpredictable. During adverse economic conditions, many customers delay or reduce technology purchases. Contract negotiations are likely to become more protracted, or conditions could result in reductions in sales of our products, longer sales cycles, pressure on our margins, difficulties in collection of accounts receivable or delayed payments, increased default risks associated with our accounts receivable, slower adoption of new technologies, and increased price competition. In addition, the current contraction of the United States and global credit markets could adversely impact our ability to complete sales of our products and services, including maintenance and support renewals. Any of these prolonged events, are likely to cause a curtailment in government or corporate spending and delay or decrease customer purchases, and adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Businesses and industries throughout the world are very tightly connected to each other. Thus, financial developments seemingly unrelated to us or to our industry may adversely affect us over the course of time. For example, credit contraction in financial markets may hurt our ability to access credit in the event that we require significant access to credit for other reasons. Similarly, volatility in our stock price could hurt our ability to raise capital for the financing of acquisitions or other reasons. Any of these events, or any other events caused by the current turmoil in domestic or international financial markets, may have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, and financial condition.

Any disruption of service at data centers that house our equipment and deliver our solutions could harm our business.

Our users expect to be able to access our solutions 24-hours a day, seven-days a week, without interruption. We have computing and communications hardware operations located in data centers owned and operated by third parties. We do not control the operation of these data centers and we are therefore vulnerable to any security breaches, power outages or other issues the data centers experience. We expect that we will experience interruptions, delays and outages in service and availability from time to time.

The owners of our data centers have no obligation to renew agreements with us on commercially reasonable terms, or at all. If we are unable to renew these agreements on commercially reasonable terms, we may be required to move to new data centers, and we may incur significant costs and possible service interruption in connection with doing so.

These data centers are vulnerable to damage or interruption from human error, malicious acts, earthquakes, hurricanes, tornados, floods, fires, war, terrorist attacks, power losses, hardware failures, systems failures, telecommunications failures and similar events. The occurrence of a natural disaster or an act of terrorism, vandalism or other misconduct, or a decision to close the data centers without adequate notice or other unanticipated problems could result in lengthy interruptions in availability of our solutions.

Any changes in third-party service levels at our data centers or any errors, defects, disruptions or other performance problems with our solutions could harm our reputation and may damage our customers’ businesses. Interruptions in availability of our solutions might reduce our revenue, cause us to issue credits to customers, subject us to potential liability, and cause customers to terminate their subscriptions or decide not to renew their subscriptions with us.

If we are not able to attract and retain top employees, our ability to compete may be harmed.

Our performance is substantially dependent on the performance of our executive officers and key employees. The loss of the services of any of our executive officers or other key employees could significantly harm our business. Our success is also highly dependent upon our continuing ability to identify, hire, train, retain, and motivate highly-qualified management, technical, sales, and marketing personnel. In particular, the recruitment of top software developers and experienced salespeople remains critical to our success. Competition for such people is intense, substantial, and continuous, especially in the current environment of labor shortage, and we may not be able to attract, integrate, or retain highly-qualified technical, sales, or managerial personnel in the future. In addition, in our effort to attract and retain critical personnel, we may experience increased compensation costs that are not offset by either improved productivity or higher prices for our products or services.

Our products rely on the stability of infrastructure software that, if not stable, could negatively impact the effectiveness or reliability of our products, resulting in harm to our reputation and business.

Our development of internet and intranet applications depends and will continue to depend on the stability, functionality, and scalability of the infrastructure software of the underlying internet and intranet. If weaknesses in such infrastructure exist, we may not be able to correct or compensate for such weaknesses. If we are unable to address weaknesses resulting from problems in the infrastructure software such that our products do not meet customer needs or expectations, our reputation and, consequently, our business may be significantly harmed.

In addition, our business and operations are highly automated, and a disruption or failure of our systems may delay our ability to complete sales and to provide services. A major disaster or other catastrophic event that results in the destruction or disruption of any of our critical business or information technology systems could severely affect our ability to conduct normal business operations, which may materially and adversely affect our future operating results.

Failure to protect our intellectual property could harm our ability to compete effectively.

We are highly dependent on our ability to protect our proprietary technology. We rely on a combination of intellectual property laws, trademark laws, as well as non-disclosure agreements and other contractual provisions to establish and maintain our proprietary rights. We intend to protect our rights vigorously; however, there can be no assurance that these measures will be successful. Enforcement of our intellectual property rights may be difficult or cost prohibitive. While U.S. copyright laws may provide meaningful protection against unauthorized duplication of software, software piracy has been, and is expected to be, a persistent problem for the software industry, and piracy of our products represents a loss of revenue to us. Certain of our license arrangements may require us to make a limited confidential disclosure of portions of the source code for our products, or to place such source code into escrow for the protection of another party. Although we will take considerable precautions, unauthorized third parties, including our competitors, may be able to: (i) copy certain portions of our products, or (ii) reverse engineer or obtain and use information that we regard as proprietary. Also, our competitors could independently develop technologies that are perceived to be substantially equivalent or superior to our technologies. Our competitive position may be adversely affected by our possible inability to effectively protect our intellectual property.

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES

On January 1, 2010, we entered into an agreement to lease 6,000 rentable square feet of office space in Columbus, Ohio, used for our corporate headquarters, Document Conversion operations, and a small portion of our Document Management operations. The lease commenced on January 1, 2010 and, pursuant to a lease extension dated September 18, 2021, the lease expires on December 31, 2028. The monthly rental payment is $4,950, with gradually higher annual increases each January up to $5,850 for the final year.

We lease 36,000 square feet of space in Madison Heights, Michigan as the main facility for our Document Conversion operations. 20,000 square feet is used for records storage services, with the remainder of the space used for production, sales, and administration. The monthly rental payment is $43,185, with gradually higher annual increases each September up to $45,828 for the final year, and with a lease term continuing until August 31, 2026.

We also lease a separate 37,000 square foot building in Sterling Heights, Michigan for our Document Conversion operations, with most of the space used for document storage, except approximately 5,000 square feet, which is used for production. The monthly rental payment is $21,072, with gradually higher annual increases each May up to $24,171 for the final year, and with a lease term continuing to April 30, 2028.

We lease office space in Traverse City, Michigan for Document Conversion production. The monthly rental payment is $4,500, with a lease term continuing until January 31, 2024.

We also lease and use vehicles for logistics pertaining to our Document Conversion segment, primarily pickup and delivery of client materials, including storage and retrieval operations. The monthly rental payments for these vehicles total $4,809, with lease terms continuing until September 30, 2028.

We also lease and use an additional temporary office space in Madison Heights for our Document Conversion operations, with a monthly rental payment of $1,605 and a lease term on a month-to-month basis. We have made an accounting policy election to not record a right-of-use asset and lease liability for short-term leases, which are defined as leases with a lease term of 12 months or less. Instead, the lease payments are recognized as rent expense in the general and administrative expenses on the statement of operations.

For each of the above listed leases, management has determined it will utilize the base rental period and have not considered any renewal periods.

We own and operate, for our Document Conversion segment, an extensive collection of the specialized equipment necessary for scanning images, converting microfilm to digital images or microfiche or vice-versa. We also have the ability to provide on-site capture operations for clients needing such services.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following management’s discussion and analysis of financial conditions and results of operations for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2022, and 2021 should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and the notes to those consolidated financial statements that are included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. In this Annual Report, we sometimes refer to the twelve month period ended December 31, 2022 as 2022, and to the twelve month period ended December 31, 2021 as 2021.

We caution you that any forward-looking statements included in this section are not guarantees of future performance or events and are subject to a number of uncertainties, risks and other influences, many of which are beyond our control, which may influence the accuracy of the statements and the projections upon which the statements are based. Factors that may affect our results include, but are not limited to, the risk factors that are included in Part I, Item 1A of this report.

Company Overview

We are a document services and software solutions company serving both the small-to-medium business and governmental sectors with their digital transformation and process automation initiatives. On April 1, 2022, we made a significant business acquisition that has significantly impacted our financial operations and grown our business operations. For further information about this acquisition, please see Note 4 to our consolidated financial statements included in Item 8, Part I, Item 1 of this Annual Report.

Our digital transformation products and services are provided through two reporting segments: Document Management and Document Conversion. Our Document Management segment, which includes the Yellow Folder, LLC (“Yellow Folder”) asset acquisition in April 2022, consists primarily of solutions involving our software platform, allowing customers to capture and manage their documents across operations such as scanned hard-copy documents and digital documents including those from Microsoft Office 365, digital images, audio, video and emails. Our Document Conversion segment provides assistance to customers as a part of their overall document strategy to convert documents from one medium to another, predominantly paper to digital, including migration to our software solutions, as well as long-term storage and retrieval services. Our solutions create value for customers by making it easy to connect business-critical documents to the people who need them by making those documents easy to find and access, while also being secure and compliant with the customers’ audit requirements. Solutions are sold both directly to end-users and through resellers.

Our customers use our software by one of two methods: purchasing our software and installing it onto their own equipment, which we refer to as a “premise” model, or licensing and accessing our platform via the Internet, which we refer to as a “software as a service” or “SaaS” model and also as a “cloud-based” model. Licensing of our software through our SaaS model has become increasingly popular among our customers, especially in light of the increased deployment of remote workforce policies, and is a key ingredient in our revenue growth strategy. Our SaaS products are hosted with Amazon Web Services, Expedient, and Evocative, providing our customers with reliable hosting services that we believe are consistent with industry best practices in data security and performance.

We operate a U.S.-based business with concentrated sales to the State of Michigan for our Document Conversion segment, complemented by our diverse set of document management software solutions and services. We hold or compete for leading positions regionally in select markets and attribute this leadership to several factors including the strength of our brand name and reputation, our comprehensive offering of innovative solutions, and the quality of our service support. Net growth in sales of software as a service in recent years reflects market demand for these solutions over traditional sales of on-premise software. We expect to continue to benefit from our select niche leadership market positions, innovative product offering, growing customer base, and the impact of our sales and marketing programs. Examples of these programs include identifying and investing in growth and expanded market penetration opportunities, more effective products and services pricing strategies, demonstrating superior value to customers, increasing our sales force effectiveness through improved guidance and measurement, and continuing to optimize our lead generation and lead nurturing processes.

How We Evaluate our Business Performance and Opportunities

The major qualitative and quantitative factors we consider in the evaluation of our operating results include the following:

Executive Overview of Results

The biggest factor in the changes in our results of operations during 2022 compared to 2021 was our acquisition of Yellow Folder on April 1, 2022. Our results for 2022 include the results of Yellow Folder operations for the three quarters. Our 2021 results do not include Yellow Folder operations. Without Yellow Folder, revenues were up $96,189, or 1%, primarily driven by continued strength in software as a service, which, excluding Yellow Folder, grew 34% year over year for 2022. Our strong software as a service performance was offset by weaknesses in professional services due to staffing issues in the first half of 2022 and softening demand for our storage and retrieval services from a significant customer in the home mortgage lending industry.

Below are our key financial results for 2022 (consolidated unless otherwise noted):

Financial Impact of Current Economic Conditions

Our overall performance depends on economic conditions, including the current inflationary environment and the widespread expectation of near-term global recession.

Employee wages, our largest expense, have recently increased due to wage inflation. These increased labor costs have slightly decreased our profit margin over 2022, but we continue to mitigate this by appropriately increasing customer renewal rates whenever we have the contractual ability to do so. More significantly, general wage inflation in the market has resulted in a slower hiring process as we grew our staff during 2022, particularly for our Document Conversion segment. These hiring and staffing challenges slow our ability to complete project-based work backlog and reduce our revenue. However, we ended 2022 with more staff than 2021, and have continued to hire more staff as of the date of this report. We anticipate that the inflationary effect on our wages has stabilized.

Other volatility, particularly from global supply chain disruptions, has had and are expected to continue to have a minimal impact on us as we consume relatively little in raw materials. A global recession may affect our customers’ and potential customers’ budgets for technology procurement, but as of the date of this report, we have not experienced diminished customer demand due to adverse economic conditions. Absent global economic disruptions, and based on the current trend of our business operations and our continued focus on strategic initiatives to grow our customer base, we believe in the strength of our brand and that our focus on our strategic priorities will deliver consistent growth.

Reportable Segments

We have two reportable segments: Document Management and Document Conversion. These reportable segments are discussed above under “Company Overview.”

Results of Operations

Revenues

The following table sets forth our revenues by reportable segment for the periods indicated:

The following table sets forth our revenues by revenue source for the periods indicated:

Our total revenues in 2022 increased by $2,556,663, or 22%, over 2021 revenues, driven primarily by the acquisition of Yellow Folder. Yellow Folder added $2,460,474 revenue for 2022. The remaining net increase of 1% in total revenues for 2022 is attributable to strong growth in software as a service, offset by weakness in professional services and storage and retrieval, as further described below.

Sale of Software Revenues

Revenues from the sale of software principally consist of sales of additional or upgraded software licenses and applications to existing customers and resellers. Yellow Folder does not earn revenue in this category. Revenues from the sale of software, which are reported as part of our Document Management segment increased by $80,634, or 103% during 2022 compared to 2021.

These period over period changes are due to timing of direct sales projects compared to the same periods in 2021. We expect the volatility of this revenue line item to continue as the frequency of on-premise software solution sales decreases over time and project timing is unpredictable.

Software as a Service Revenues

We provide access to our software solutions as a service, accessible through the internet. Our customers typically enter into our software as a service agreement for periods of one year or more. Under these agreements, we generally provide access to the applicable software, data storage and related customer assistance and support. Revenues from the sale of software as a service, which are reported as part of our Document Management segment increased by $2,575,726, or 179% in 2022 compared to 2021. This increase was primarily the result of the Yellow Folder acquisition, which contributed $2,091,083, or 81% of the increase, augmenting the underlying new cloud-based solution sales, as well as expanded data storage, user seats, and hosting fees for existing customers. Excluding Yellow Folder, software as a service revenues grew 34% in 2022 compared to 2021.

Software Maintenance Services Revenues

Software maintenance services revenues consist of fees for post-contract customer support services provided to license (premise-based) holders through support and maintenance agreements. These agreements allow our customers to receive technical support, enhancements and upgrades to new versions of our software products when and if available. A substantial portion of these revenues were generated from renewals of maintenance agreements, which typically run on a year-to-year basis. Yellow Folder does not earn revenue in this category. Revenues from the sale of software maintenance services, which are reported as part of our Document Management segment, increased by $37,415, or 3%, in 2022 compared to 2021. This small increase in these revenues in 2022 compared to the 2021 was driven by expansion of services with existing customers and price increases being partially offset by normal attrition and certain customers migrating their premise solution to our cloud solution, resulting software maintenance service revenues decreasing and software as a service revenues increasing.

Professional Services Revenues

Professional services revenues consist of revenues from document scanning and conversion services, consulting, discovery, training, and advisory services to assist customers with document management needs, as well as repair and maintenance services for customer equipment. These revenues include arrangements that do not involve the sale of software. Of our professional services revenues during 2022, $7,082,011 was derived from our Document Conversion operations and $275,926 was derived from our Document Management operations. Our overall professional services revenues decreased by $110,779, or 1%, in 2022 compared to 2021. This decrease is primarily the result of COVID Omicron impacts to customers and staff in our Document Conversion segment in the first quarter 2022, and our challenges in hiring staff to fulfill a large backlog of project work during the following quarters of 2022. The decrease was partially offset by the contribution of $262,461 revenue from Yellow Folder for 2022.

Storage and Retrieval Services Revenues

We provide document storage and retrieval services to customers, primarily in Michigan. Revenues from storage and retrieval services, which are reported as part of our Document Conversion segment, decreased by $26,333, or 2%, during 2022 compared to 2021. This decrease was the result of a significant reduction in volume of work from our largest storage and retrieval customer, Rocket Mortgage, due to the significant slowdown in the home mortgage and refinancing industry. In addition, the decrease was also due to unusually high project work in 2021 including shredding of documents approved for destruction. Revenue contributed from the Yellow Folder acquisition partially offset the decrease by $106,930.

Costs of Revenues and Gross Profits

The following table sets forth our cost of revenues by reportable segment for the periods indicated:

The following table sets forth our cost of revenues, by revenue source, for the periods indicated:

Our total cost of revenues during 2022 increased by $590,487 or 13%, over 2021. Our cost of revenues for our Document Management segment increased by $474,029, or 87%, primarily due to the impact of Yellow Folder in that segment. Our cost of revenues for our Document Conversion segment increased by $116,458, or 3%, in 2022 compared to 2021 primarily due an unfavorable project mix, requiring more labor to complete projects.

Our overall gross profit increased to 64% in 2022 from 61% in 2021. The increase in the mix of software as a service revenue was the principal driver of the increase, due to the addition of Yellow Folder and overall strong margins in the Document Management segment, partially offset by margin erosion in the Document Conversion segment, driven by lower-margin project work relative to 2021.

Cost of Software Revenues

Cost of software revenues consists primarily of labor costs of our software engineers and implementation consultants and third-party software licenses that are sold in connection with our core software applications. During 2022, cost of software revenues increased by $49,749, or 336%, from 2021, increasing more than revenues with more complex solutions sold in 2022. Our gross margin for software revenues decreased to 59% from 81% in 2021. The 2021 margins were unusually strong, driven by license expansions and similar solutions that required fewer costs to deliver the solution. Yellow Folder had no impact to this category.

Cost of Software as a Service

Cost of software as a service, or SaaS, consists primarily of technical support personnel, hosting services, and related costs. Cost of software as a service increased by $368,432, or 111%, during 2022 over 2021. This increase in the cost of SaaS was less than the increase in associated SaaS revenues, so our gross margin in 2022 increased to 83% compared to 77% in 2021, as a result of strong margins with and without Yellow Folder, which contributed 85% gross margin.

Cost of Software Maintenance Services

Cost of software maintenance services consists primarily of technical support personnel and related costs. Cost of software maintenance services decreased by $1,903, or 2%, in 2022 from 2021, due to stable support activity. As a result, our gross margin for software maintenance services remained at 94% in 2022 and 2021.

Cost of Professional Services

Cost of professional services consists primarily of compensation for employees performing the document conversion services, compensation of our software engineers and implementation consultants and related third-party costs. Cost of professional services increased in 2022 by $198,857, or 5%, over 2021, primarily due to an unfavorable mix of lower-margin projects combined with the staffing challenges in our Document Conversion segment, driven by inflationary pressures. As a result, our gross margin for professional services decreased to 47% during 2022 compared to 50% in 2021. Gross margins related to consulting services may vary widely, depending upon the nature of the consulting project and the amount of labor required to complete a project. Yellow Folder partially offset the overall margin erosion with $87,679 costs in 2022 at 67% margin.

Cost of Storage and Retrieval Services

Cost of storage and retrieval services consists primarily of compensation for employees performing the document storage and retrieval services, including logistics, provided primarily by our Michigan operations and to a much lesser extent, Yellow Folder. Cost of storage and retrieval services decreased by $24,648, or 7%, during 2022 compared to 2021. The decrease was due to additional labor costs in 2021 associated with our 2021 warehouse consolidation, partially offset by general wage inflation, as well as costs decreasing in proportion to revenue project volume. Gross margins for our storage and retrieval services, which exclude the cost of facilities rental, maintenance, and related overheads, increased to 68% during 2022 compared to 66% in 2021. Yellow Folder did not have a material impact, contributing costs of $29,187, or 8% of the cost in 2022, at a gross margin of 73%.

Operating Expenses

The following table sets forth our operating expenses for the periods indicated:

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses increased in 2022 by $900,918, or 22%, over 2021, principally related to the addition of Yellow Folder expenses in 2022. This was primarily reflected in our Document Management segment, in which our general and administrative expenses increased to $2,512,879 in 2022 from $1,610,017 in 2021. In our Document Conversion segment, our general and administrative expenses were roughly flat at $2,432,335 in 2022 compared to $2,434,279 in 2021.

Change in Fair Value of Earnout Liabilities

Fair value adjustments amounted to $87,652 for 2022. The fair value adjustments were driven by updated assumptions to reflect the improved performance of both acquisitions against their threshold targets and the decreasing impact of present value discounting. For 2021, improvements in actual and forecast gross margin and revenue performance drove adjustments in fair value for both the Graphic Sciences and the CEO Image earnout liabilities, totaling $141,414.

Transaction Costs

The transactions costs during 2022 were comprised of investment banker success fees, as well as legal and consulting fees, in connection with our acquisition of Yellow Folder and related fundraising activities. There were no transaction costs during 2021.

Sales and Marketing Expenses

Sales and marketing expenses increased by $593,141, or 43%, during 2022 over 2021. This increase was primarily driven by the inclusion of the sales and marketing expenses from Yellow Folder beginning the second quarter 2022, as well as adding two sales representatives.

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization during 2022 increased by $252,517, or 61%, over 2021 as a result of amortization of new intangible assets related to the Yellow Folder acquisition. The incremental amortization amounted to $220,375 in 2022, or 87% of the increase.

Other Items of Income and Expense

Gain on Extinguishment of Debt

The $845,083 gain on extinguishment of debt during 2021 reflects the full forgiveness of the principal and interest on our PPP Note by the SBA in January 2021.

Interest Expense

Interest expense was $803,294 during 2022 as compared with $452,120 during 2021, representing an increase of $351,174 or 78%. The increase resulted from incremental interest expense on increased net debt following the April 1, 2022 private placement of securities, slightly offset by reduced interest resulting from partial principal repayment of the 2020 Notes on December 1, 2022.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We have financed our operations primarily through a combination of cash on hand, cash generated from operations, borrowings from third parties and related parties, and proceeds from private sales of equity. Since 2012, and including our private offering in April 2022, we have raised a total of approximately $26.5 million in cash through issuances of debt and equity securities. As of December 31, 2022, we had approximately $2.7 million in cash and cash equivalents, net working capital deficit of $1.1 million, and an accumulated deficit of $21.6 million. In June 2022, we paid approximately $1.0 million in earnout liabilities and in December 2022 we prepaid approximately $1.0 million in principal, which was due in February 2023.

In 2022, we engaged in several actions that significantly improved our liquidity and cash flows, including, on April 1, 2022:

Of our existing debt as of December 31, 2022, approximately $0.3 million was due and paid on February 28, 2023, $0.7 million is due August 31, 2023, and approximately $3 million is due March 30, 2025. We also paid final earnout payments for our Graphic Sciences acquisition of $700,000 subsequent to the balance sheet date, on January 3, 2023. Our operating cash flow alone may be insufficient to meet the debt obligations in full in 2023. We have positive operating cash flow, and we believe we could seek additional debt or equity financing on acceptable terms. We believe that our balance sheet and financial statements would support a full or partial refinancing or other appropriate modification of the current promissory notes, such as an extension or conversion to equity. We are confident in our ability to prudently manage our current debt on terms acceptable to us.

Our ability to meet our capital needs in the short term will depend on many factors, including maintaining and enhancing our operating cash flow, successfully managing the transition of our recent acquisition of Yellow Folder, successfully retaining and growing our client base in the midst of global inflation and general economic uncertainty, and managing any continuing effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business.

Based on our current plans and assumptions, we believe our capital resources, including our cash and cash equivalents, along with funds expected to be generated from our operations and potential financing options, will be sufficient to meet our anticipated cash needs arising in the ordinary course of business for at least the next 12 months, including to satisfy our expected working capital needs, earnout obligations and capital and debt service commitments.

Our ability to meet our capital needs further into the future will depend primarily on strategically managing the business and successfully retaining our client base.

Indebtedness

As of December 31, 2022, our outstanding long-term indebtedness consisted of:

Capital Expenditures

There were no material commitments for capital expenditures at December 31, 2022.

Cash Provided by Operating Activities.

From our inception, we have generated revenues from the sales, implementation, subscriptions, and maintenance of our internally generated software applications, as well as significantly increased revenues from document conversion services beginning in 2020. Our uses of cash from operating activities include compensation and related costs, hardware costs, rent for our corporate offices and warehouses, hosting fees for our cloud-based software services, other general corporate expenditures, and travel costs to client sites.

The majority of our software as a service revenues and our maintenance support services revenues are annual contracts which are generally invoiced and collected at the beginning of each renewal period. Of these annual renewals, we experience seasonality favoring the third quarter each year, due to governmental entity preferences for a July to June annual period. Accordingly, our cash collections are largest in the third quarter, and our deferred revenues are generally correspondingly at their highest during that period as well.

Net cash provided by operating activities during 2022 was $1,988,778, primarily attributable to the net income adjusted for non-cash expenses of $2,264,811, an increase in operating assets of $243,527 and a decrease in operating liabilities of $56,533. Net cash provided by operating activities during 2021 was $1,389,966, primarily attributable to net income adjusted for non-cash expenses of $703,883, an increase in operating assets of $393,404 and a decrease in operating liabilities of $278,464.

Cash Used in Investing Activities.

Net cash used in investing activities in 2022 was $6,960,594, primarily $6,383,269 in cash paid to acquire Yellow Folder, as well as $376,345 in capitalized internal use software. Net cash used in investing activities in 2021 was $590,485, primarily related to purchases of racking property and equipment for the new Sterling Heights, MI warehouse.

Cash Provided and Used in Financing Activities.

Net cash provided by financing activities during 2022 amounted to $5,915,667, as the result of cash generated from the sale of common stock of $5,740,758 and from new borrowings of $2,964,500, partially offset by issuance costs of $746,342, as well as a further offset of $1,018,333 in earnout liability payments and $1,019,550 in repayment of notes payable and $5,366 in the principal portion of a finance lease liability. Net cash used by financing activities during 2021 amounted to $954,733 in earnout liability payments.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

These critical accounting policies and estimates by our management should be read in conjunction with Note 3 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

The preparation of our consolidated financial statements in accordance GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses in the reporting period. We monitor and analyze these items for changes in facts and circumstances, and material changes in these estimates could occur in the future. We base our estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various other factors that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the accrual of costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. Changes in estimates are reflected in reported results for the period in which they become known. The actual results experienced by us may differ materially from our estimates. To the extent there are material differences between our estimates and the actual results, our future results of operations will be affected.

We consider the following accounting policies and estimates to be both those most important to the portrayal of our financial condition and those that require the most subjective judgment:

Revenue Recognition

In accordance with ASC 606, “Revenue From Contracts With Customers,” we follow a five-step model to assess each contract of a sale or service to a customer: identify the legally binding contract, identify the performance obligations, determine the transaction price, allocate the transaction price, and determine whether revenue will be recognized at a point in time or over time. Revenue is recognized when a performance obligation is satisfied and the customer obtains control of promised goods and services. The amount of revenue recognized reflects the consideration to which we expect to be entitled to receive in exchange for these goods and services. In addition, ASC 606 requires disclosures of the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers.

Our contracts with customers often contain multiple performance obligations. For these contracts, we account for individual performance obligations separately if they are distinct. The transaction price is allocated to the separate performance obligations on a relative standalone selling price (“SSP”) basis. We determine the SSP based on an observable standalone selling price when it is available, as well as other factors, including, the price charged to customers, our discounting practices, and our overall pricing objectives, while maximizing observable inputs. In situations where pricing is highly variable or uncertain, we estimate the SSP using a residual approach.

Revenue from on-premises licenses is recognized upfront upon transfer of control of the software, which occurs at delivery, or when the license term commences, if later. We recognize revenue from maintenance contracts ratably over the service period. Cloud services revenue is recognized ratably over the cloud service term. Training, professional services, and storage and retrieval services are provided either on a time and material basis, in which revenues are recognized as services are delivered, or over a contractual term, in which revenues are recognized ratably. With respect to contracts that include customer acceptance provisions, we recognize revenue upon customer acceptance. Our policy is to record revenues net of any applicable sales, use or excise taxes.

Payment terms and conditions vary by contract type, although our terms generally include a requirement of payment within 30 to 60 days. We assess whether payment terms are customary or extended in accordance with normal practice relative to the market in which the sale is occurring. In instances where the timing of revenue recognition differs from the timing of payment, we have determined our contracts do not include a significant financing component. The primary purpose of our invoicing terms is to provide customers with simplified and predictable ways of purchasing our products and services, not to receive financing from our customers or to provide customers with financing.

We generally do not offer rights of return or any other incentives such as concessions, product rotation, or price protection and, therefore, do not provide for or make estimates of rights of return and similar incentives.

We establish allowances for doubtful accounts when available information causes us to believe that credit loss is probable.

Business Acquisition, Goodwill and Intangibles Assets, including Contingent Liability—Earnout

We have allocated the purchase price to assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on the estimated fair value of such assets and liabilities at the date of acquisition. We estimate a fair value of any earnout which would be owed to the seller based on the terms of the earnout and record this liability at the acquisition date. Fair value was based on future projections of metrics such as revenue or profit over the earnout period and valuation techniques that utilize expected volatility, threshold probability, and discounting of future payments. Evaluating the fair value involves a high degree of assumptions used within the valuation models, in particular, forecasts of projected revenues or margins. Changes in these assumptions could have a significant impact on the fair value of the earnout liabilities.

The carrying value of goodwill is not amortized, but it tested for impairment annually as of December 31, as well as on an interim basis whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of a reporting unit may not be recoverable. An impairment charge is recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the recorded fair value. All intangible assets have finite lives and are stated at cost, net of amortization. Amortization is computed over the useful life of the related assets on a straight-line method.

As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, we recorded a change in fair value of earnout liabilities for both Graphic Sciences and CEO Image. The assumptions were updated to reflect the improved performance of both acquisitions against their threshold targets, a reduction of pandemic-related uncertainty, and the decreasing impact of time value of money. In December 2022, an amendment to the Graphic Sciences stock purchase agreement was signed, which accelerated the timing of the final Graphic Sciences earnout payment and set the amount at $700,000. This amount was paid subsequent to the balance sheet date, on January 3, 2023.

Accounts Receivable, Unbilled

We recognize professional services revenue over time as the services are delivered using an input or output method (e.g., labor hours incurred as a percentage of total labor hours budgeted, images scanned, or similar milestones), as appropriate for the contract, provided all other revenue recognition criteria are met. When our revenue recognition policies recognize revenue that has not yet been billed, we record those contract asset amounts in accounts receivable, unbilled.

Deferred Revenues

Amounts that have been invoiced are recognized in accounts receivable, deferred revenue or revenue, depending on whether the revenue recognition criteria have been met. Deferred revenue represents amounts billed for which revenue has not yet been recognized. Deferred revenues typically relate to maintenance and software-as-a-service agreements which have been paid for by customers prior to the performance of those services, and payments received for professional services and license arrangements and software-as-a-service performance obligations that have been deferred until fulfilled under our revenue recognition policy.

Accounting for Costs of Computer Software to be Sold, Leased or Marketed and Accounting for Internal Use Software

We design, develop, test, market, license, and support new software products and enhancements of current products. We continuously monitor our software products and enhancements to remain compatible with standard platforms and file formats. In accordance with ASC 985-20 “Costs of Software to be Sold, Leased or Otherwise Marketed,” we expense software development costs, including costs to develop software products or the software component of products to be sold, leased, or marketed to external users, before technological feasibility is reached. Once technological feasibility has been established, certain software development costs incurred during the application development stage are eligible for capitalization. Based on our software development process, technical feasibility is established upon completion of a working model. Technological feasibility is typically reached shortly before the release of such products. Such costs in the amount of $43,771 were capitalized during the 2022. No such costs were capitalized during 2021.

In accordance with ASC 350-40, “Internal-Use Software,” we capitalize purchase and implementation costs of internal use software. Once an application has reached development stage, internal and external costs, if direct and incremental, are capitalized until the software is substantially complete and ready for its intended use. Capitalization ceases upon completion of all substantial testing. We also capitalize costs related to specific upgrades and enhancements when it is probable that the expenditure will result in additional functionality. Such costs in the amount of $376,345 were capitalized during 2022. Such costs in the amount of $38,305 were capitalized during 2021.

Capitalized costs are stated at cost less accumulated amortization. Amortization is computed over the estimated useful lives of the related assets on a straight-line basis, which is three years.

Stock-Based Compensation

We maintain one stock-based compensation plan. We account for stock-based payments to employees in accordance with ASC 718, “Compensation - Stock Compensation.” Stock-based payments to employees include grants of stock that are recognized in the consolidated statement of operations based on their fair values at the date of grant. We account for stock-based payments to non-employees in accordance with ASC 718, “Compensation - Stock Compensation,” which requires that such equity instruments are recorded at their fair value on the grant date.

The grant date fair value of stock option awards is recognized in earnings as stock-based compensation cost over the requisite service period of the award using the straight-line attribution method. We estimate the fair value of the stock option awards using the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model. The exercise price of options is specified in the stock option agreements. The expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of our stock for the previous period equal to the expected term of the options. The expected term of options granted is based on the midpoint between the vesting date and the end of the contractual term. The risk-free interest rate is based upon a U.S. Treasury instrument with a life that is similar to the expected term of the options. The expected dividend yield is based upon the yield expected on date of grant to occur over the term of the option.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Stockholders and Board of Directors

Intellinetics, Inc. and Subsidiaries

Columbus, Ohio

Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Intellinetics, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the years then ended, and related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company at December 31, 2022 and 2021, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended December 31, 2022, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinion

These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s consolidated financial statements based on our audits. 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 audits 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 consolidated 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 audits 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 audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated 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 consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Critical Audit Matters

The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated 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 consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.

Evaluation of the Fair Value of Intangibles and Goodwill Related to Business Acquisitions

Description of the Matter

As discussed in Note 4 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company completed the acquisition of Yellow Folder LLC. (Yellow Folder) on April 1, 2022, for a purchase price of $6,383,269. We identified the evaluation of the acquisition date fair values of intangible assets acquired and goodwill as a critical audit matter.

Auditing the valuation of the acquired intangible assets was complex and required significant auditor judgment due to the high degree of subjectivity in evaluating certain assumptions required to estimate the fair values. In particular, the fair value measurement of customer relationships was sensitive to management’s forecasts of revenue growth rates, gross margin, earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) margin, and the discount rate used to estimate the discounted cash flows. The fair value measurement of the proprietary technology and trade name assets were sensitive to management’s forecasts of revenue growth rates, royalty rates and the discount rate used to estimate the discounted cash flows. 

How We Addressed the Matter in Our Audit

To test the fair value estimates of the customer relationship, proprietary technology and trade name intangible assets, we performed audit procedures which included, among others, evaluating the prospective financial information used in the valuation models, testing the completeness and accuracy of the underlying data and evaluating the Company’s use of valuation methodologies. Our procedures to assess the prospective financial information used in the valuation models, included evaluating the key assumptions discussed above, by comparing them to historical results of the acquired business. We involved our valuation specialists to assist in our evaluation of the reasonableness of the significant assumptions used in the fair value estimates as well as to independently calculate fair value estimates for the acquired intangible assets. Lastly, we evaluated the appropriateness of the Company’s related disclosures.
