Any forward-looking statements we make are based on our current plans, intentions, objectives, strategies, projections and expectations, as well as assumptions made by and information currently available to management. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance or events, but are subject to and qualified by substantial risks, uncertainties and other factors, which are difficult to predict and are often beyond our control. Forward-looking statements will be affected by assumptions and expectations we might make that do not materialize or that prove to be incorrect and by known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed, anticipated or implied by such forward-looking statements. These risks, uncertainties and other factors include, but are not limited to, those described in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, filed on March 28, 2024, as well as other risks, uncertainties and factors discussed elsewhere in this Quarterly Report, in documents that we include as exhibits to or incorporate by reference in this report, and in other reports and documents we from time to time file with or furnish to the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). In light of these risks and uncertainties, you are cautioned not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements that we make.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
1. Business Organization and Nature of Operations
Intellinetics, Inc., formerly known as GlobalWise Investments, Inc., is a Nevada corporation incorporated in 1997, with two wholly-owned subsidiaries: Intellinetics, Inc., an Ohio corporation (“Intellinetics Ohio”), and Graphic Sciences, Inc., a Michigan corporation (“Graphic Sciences”). Intellinetics Ohio was incorporated in 1996, and on February 10, 2012, Intellinetics Ohio became our sole operating subsidiary as a result of a reverse merger and recapitalization. On March 2, 2020, we purchased all the outstanding capital stock of Graphic Sciences.

2. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”).
The financial statements presented in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are unaudited. However, in the opinion of management, these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented in conformity with GAAP applicable to interim periods. The financial data and other financial information disclosed in these notes to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are also unaudited. As such, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to applicable rules and regulations thereunder.
Operating results for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full fiscal year ending December 31, 2024 or any other future period.
These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the related notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 filed with the SEC filed on March 28, 2024.

Principles of Consolidation
The
condensed consolidated financial statements accompanying these notes include the accounts of Intellinetics and the accounts of all its
subsidiaries in which it holds a controlling interest. Under GAAP, consolidation is generally required for investments of more than
| 8 |
Concentrations of Credit Risk
We maintain our cash with high credit quality financial institutions. At times, our cash and cash equivalents may be uninsured or in deposit accounts that exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insurance limit.
We do not generally require collateral or other security to support customer receivables; however, we may require customers to provide retainers, up-front deposits or irrevocable letters-of-credit when considered necessary to mitigate credit risks. The Company recognizes current estimated credit losses (“CECL”) for accounts receivable and accounts receivable-unbilled. The CECL for trade receivables are estimated based on the trade receivable aging category, credit risk of specific customers, past collection history, and management’s evaluation of accounts receivable. Provisions for CECL are classified within selling, general and administrative costs.
Upon the adoption of FASB ASU No. 2016-13 (CECL model) effective January 1, 2023, Intellinetics, Inc. has revised its methodology for estimating expected credit losses on financial instruments, specifically trade receivables. This new model requires the recognition of lifetime expected credit losses at each reporting date, considering past events, current conditions, and reasonable forecasts. In assessing the credit quality of our portfolio, management utilizes a provision matrix that classifies trade receivables by customer type and age of receivable. Government and education sector receivables carry a low risk, while a higher risk is attributed to the remaining receivables as their aging progresses. For receivables with questionable collectability, a specific reserve is assigned. The estimated credit losses are a reflection of these factors, with the matrix applying percentages to the receivables based on their risk profile, adjusted for current and expected future conditions.
During
the reporting period, the estimate of credit losses may change due to several factors including payment patterns of customers, changes
in customer creditworthiness, and broader economic conditions. Such changes are captured in the financial statements to ensure they accurately
reflect the company’s assessment of credit risk and expected losses at the end of each reporting period. Credit losses have been
within management’s expectations. At March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, our allowance for credit losses was $

Revenue Recognition
We categorize revenue as software, software as a service, software maintenance services, professional services, and storage and retrieval services. We earn the majority of our revenue from the sale of professional services, followed by the sale of software maintenance services and software as a service. We apply our revenue recognition policies as required in accordance with ASC 606 based on the facts and circumstances of each category of revenue. More detail regarding each category of revenue is contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 filed with the SEC filed on March 28, 2024.

Deferred revenue
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.

performance obligations represent the transaction price from contracts for which work has not been performed or goods and services have

Software Development Costs
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. No such costs were capitalized during the periods presented in this report.
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 $
Capitalized
costs are stated at cost less accumulated amortization. Amortization is computed over the estimated useful lives of the related assets

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Effective
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. This ASU improves financial reporting by requiring disclosure of significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) and included with each reported measure of significant profit or loss on an annual and interim basis. This ASU also requires that a public entity disclose the title and position of the CODM and an explanation of how the CODM uses the reported measures of a segment’s profit or loss in assessing segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. This ASU is required to be applied retrospectively for all prior periods presented in the financial statements. We are evaluating the adoption impact of this ASU on our condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures but do not expect any material impact upon adoption.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which amends the guidance in ASC 740, Income Taxes. The ASU is intended to improve the transparency of income tax disclosures by requiring (1) consistent categories and greater disaggregation of information in the rate reconciliation and (2) income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction. It also includes certain other amendments to improve the effectiveness of income tax disclosures. The ASU’s amendments are effective for public business entities for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Entities are permitted to early adopt the standard “for annual financial statements that have not yet been issued or made available for issuance.” We are currently evaluating the impact of this ASU but do not expect any material impact upon adoption.
There are no other accounting standards that have been issued but not yet adopted that we believe could have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
Advertising
We
expense the cost of advertising as incurred. Advertising expense for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 amounted to $
Basic income or loss per share is computed by dividing net income or loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted income or loss per share is computed by dividing net income or loss by the diluted weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. The diluted weighted average number of shares gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method. Diluted earnings per share exclude all diluted potential shares if their effect is anti-dilutive, including warrants or options which are out-of-the-money and for those periods with a net loss.
We have outstanding warrants and stock options which have not been included in the calculation of diluted net loss per share for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 because to do so would be anti-dilutive. For the first quarter 2024 and 2023, certain options and warrants were in-the-money and others were not. The three months ended March 31, 2024 reported a net loss, while the three months ended March 31, 2023 reported net income. For the first quarter 2024, the numerator and the denominator used in computing both basic and diluted net loss per share are the same.
Income Taxes
We file a consolidated federal income tax return with our subsidiaries. The provision for income taxes is computed by applying statutory rates to income before taxes.
We account for uncertainty in income taxes in our financial statements as required under ASC 740, “Income Taxes.” The standard prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The standard also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition accounting. Management determined there were no material uncertain positions taken by us in our tax returns.
Deferred
income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences in future years of temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax
bases of assets and liabilities as of each period-end based on enacted tax laws and statutory rates. Valuation allowances are established
when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. A
The tax effects of temporary differences that give rise to significant portions of the deferred tax assets and liabilities are presented below:

Segment Information
Operating segments are defined in the criteria established under ASC 280, “Segment Reporting,” as components of public entities that engage in business activities from which they may earn revenues and incur expenses for which separate financial information is available and which is evaluated regularly by our chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) in deciding how to assess performance and allocate resources. Our CODM assesses performance and allocates resources based on two operating segments: Document Management and Document Conversion. These segments contain individual business components that have been combined on the basis of common management, customers, solutions offered, service processes and other economic characteristics. We currently have immaterial intersegment sales. We evaluate the performance of our segments based on gross profits.
The Document Management Segment provides cloud-based and premise-based content services software. Its modular suite of solutions complements existing operating and accounting systems to serve a mission-critical role for organizations to make content secure, compliant, and process-ready. This segment conducts its primary operations in the United States. Markets served include highly regulated, risk and compliance-intensive markets in healthcare, K-12 education, public safety, other public sector, risk management, financial services, and others. Solutions are sold both directly to end-users and through resellers.
The Document Conversion Segment provides services for scanning and indexing, converting images from paper to digital, paper to microfilm, and microfiche to microfilm, as well as long-term physical document storage and retrieval. This segment conducts its primary operations in the United States. Markets served include businesses and federal, county, and municipal governments. Solutions are sold both directly to end-users and through a reseller distributor.

| ITEM 2 | MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS |
The following discussion and analysis of our financial conditions and results of operations should be read together with our condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in Part I, Item 1, “Financial Statements,” of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and with the condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023. Historical results and percentage relationships among any amounts in the financial statements are not necessarily indicative of trends in operating results for any future periods. Any forward-looking statements in this discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the information set forth in “Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” elsewhere herein. In this Quarterly Report, we sometimes refer to the three month period ended March 31, 2024 as the first quarter 2024, and to the three month period ended March 31, 2023 as the first quarter 2023.
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. Our digital transformation products and services are provided through two reporting segments: Document Management and Document Conversion. Our Document Management segment 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 micrographics conversions and 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 Corespace, 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.
For further information about our consolidated revenue and earnings, please see our condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report.
How We Evaluate our Business Performance and Opportunities
There has been no material change during the first quarter 2024 to the major qualitative and quantitative factors we consider in the evaluation of our operating results as set forth in Part II, Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — How We Evaluate our Business Performance and Opportunities” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023.
| 21 |
Executive Overview of Results
Revenues were up $320,251, or 7.6%, primarily driven by software as a service and professional services more than offsetting expected weakness in storage and retrieval and sales of direct premise software. In expenses, we recorded $397,901 in stock compensation expense related to our restricted stock awards to employees, without which our operating expenses (excluding cost of revenues) would have increased 7.4% year over year.
Below are our key financial results for the first quarter 2024 (consolidated unless otherwise noted):
| ● | Revenues were $4,507,084, representing revenue growth of 7.6% year over year. | |
| ● | Cost of revenues was $1,607,440, an increase of 4.3% year over year. | |
| ● | Operating expenses (excluding cost of revenues) were $2,934,124, an increase of 24.2% year over year. This amount includes a 2024 stock compensation expense of $397,901 related to restricted stock awards to employees. | |
| ● | Loss from operations was $34,480, compared to income from operations $283,999 in the first quarter 2023. | |
| ● | Net loss was $174,714 with basic and diluted net loss per share of $0.04, compared to net income of $112,563 with basic and diluted net income per share of $0.03 in the first quarter 2023. | |
| ● | Q1 2024 included $397,901 of stock compensation expense related to our restricted stock awards to employees. | |
| ● | Net cash provided by operating activities was $611,766, compared to $174,357 used in operations in the first quarter 2023. | |
| ● | Capital expenditures were $127,932 including capitalized software costs of $109,621, compared to $134,569 in the first quarter 2023, including capitalized software costs of $112,208. | |
| ● | As of March 31, 2024, we had 180 employees, including 36 part-time employees, compared to 167 employees as of March 31, 2023. |
Financial Impact of Current Economic Conditions
Our overall performance depends on economic conditions, including the current inflationary environment, increased interest rates, and slowing global growth rates.
Employee wages, our largest expense, have recently increased due to wage inflation. These increased labor costs have slightly decreased our profit margin over 2023 and continuing into the first quarter of 2024, but we continue to mitigate this by appropriately increasing customer renewal rates whenever we have the contractual ability to do so. 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.
Uncertainties, Trends, and Risks that can cause Fluctuations in our Operating Results
Our operating results have fluctuated significantly in the past and are expected to continue to fluctuate in the future due to a variety of factors, in addition to economic conditions, that are discussed in Part II, Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Uncertainties, Trends, and Risks that can cause Fluctuations in our Operating Results” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023. Due to all these factors and the other risks discussed in Part II, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report, and Part I, Item IA, “Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, our past results of operations should not be relied upon as an indication of our future performance. Comparisons of our operating results with prior periods is not necessarily meaningful or indicative of future performance.

| Storage and retrieval services | 258,491 | 284,277 | ||||||
| Total document conversion segment revenues | $ | 2,686,664 | $ | 2,417,350 | ||||
Our total revenues in the first quarter 2024 increased by $320,251, or 7.6%, over our first quarter 2023 revenues, driven primarily by software as a service, which grew 13.5% year over year for the first quarter 2024. Our strong professional services, which grew 7.8%, also contributed. Growth was partially offset by continued softer demand for the transactional portion of our storage and retrieval services from a significant customer in the home mortgage lending industry, which decreased 9.1% year over year.
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 $166,721, or 13.5% in the first quarter 2024 compared to 2023. This increase was primarily the result of new cloud-based solution sales, as well as expanded data storage, user seats, and hosting fees for existing customers.
| 23 |
Professional Services Revenues
Professional services revenues primarily consist of revenues from document scanning and conversion services, plus consulting, discovery, training, and advisory services to assist customers with document management needs. These revenues include arrangements that do not involve the sale of software. Of our $2,479,678 in professional services revenues during the first quarter 2024, $2,428,173 was derived from our Document Conversion operations and $51,505 was derived from our Document Management operations. Our overall professional services revenues increased by $180,389, or 7.8%, in the first quarter 2024 compared to 2023. This increase is the result of as strong pipeline in our Document Conversion segment, along with realized price increases in late 2023. However, we believe that our largest customer intends to renegotiate, and accordingly reduce, our pricing on a significant portion of our work for this customer, which could have a significant adverse impact on our future professional services revenues as well as our overall revenues, margins, net income and cash flows beginning later this year.

Our total cost of revenues during the first quarter 2024 increased by $66,446 or 4.3%, over 2023. Our cost of revenues for our Document Management segment decreased by $43,586, or 14.2%, primarily due to scale and efficiencies. Our cost of revenues for our Document Conversion segment increased by $110,042, or 8.9%, in the first quarter 2024 compared to 2023 primarily due to the increased demand, resulting in higher revenues and more labor to complete projects, as well as wage increases.

| Storage and retrieval services | 66.5 | % | 61.9 | % | ||||
| Total gross profit percentage | 64.3 | % | 63.2 | % | ||||
Our overall gross profit increased to 64.3% in the first quarter 2024 from 63.2% in 2023. 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 reduced margins in the storage and retrieval services, as well as wage increases.

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 during the first quarter 2024 decreased by $4,648, or 2.1%, from the first quarter 2023. This decrease in the cost of SaaS was the result of efficiencies in support, including reduced support call volume, as well as some benefits from scale. Our gross margin in the first quarter increased to 84.6% compared to 82.2% in 2023.
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 when working on billable customer projects, and related third-party costs. Cost of professional services increased in the first quarter 2024 by $96,947, or 8.2%, over 2023, primarily due to increased staffing levels in our Document Conversion segment, to support our corresponding increased revenues, as well as wage increases. Consolidated, our gross margin for professional services decreased to 48.2% during the first quarter 2024 compared to 48.4% in 2023. Gross margins related to consulting services in Document Management and digital transformation services in Document Conversion may vary widely, depending upon the nature of the project and the amount of labor required to complete a project.

General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses increased in the first quarter 2024 $573,882 or 36.9%, primarily related to $397,901 in expense related to our restricted stock award grant to employees first quarter 2024. Excluding the restricted stock award expense, total expenses increased by $175,981, or 11.3%, over 2023, related to investments in order to scale, such as development, finance, and our SOC2 process, as well as wage increases and infrastructure investments such as our internal ERP system upgrade from QuickBooks to NetSuite. These increases were reflected in both our Document Management segment, in which our general and administrative expenses increased to $1,145,031 in first quarter 2024 from $800,729 in 2023, and also in our Document Conversion segment, in which our general and administrative expenses increased to $983,462 in first quarter 2024 from $753,882 in 2023.
Sales and Marketing Expenses
Sales and marketing expenses during the first quarter 2024 decreased by $37,890, or 6.5%, from the first quarter 2023, principally related to an open position, as well as normal fluctuations in commissions expense.
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization during the first quarter 2024 increased by $36,292, or 15.9%, over the first quarter 2023 primarily as a result of increased amortization of capitalized software costs.
Other Items of Income and Expense
Interest Expense, Net
Interest expense was $140,234 during the first quarter 2024, net of $9,296 of interest income, as compared with $171,436 during the first quarter 2023, representing a decrease of $31,202 or 18.2%. The decrease resulted from reduced interest resulting from principal repayment of the 2020 Notes on February 28, 2023 and August 31, 2023. The 2022 Notes principal prepayment of $500,000 on March 30, 2024 had a negligible impact on interest expense in the first quarter 2024.

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, we have raised a net total of approximately $24.0 million in cash through issuances of debt and equity securities, net of $2.5 million in debt repayments. As of March 31, 2024, we had approximately $1.2 million in cash and cash equivalents, net working capital of $0.2 million, and an accumulated deficit of $21.3 million. In March 2024, we prepaid $0.5 million in principal of the 2022 Notes.
In 2024 and 2023, we engaged in several actions that significantly improved our liquidity and cash flows, including (i) effective October 1, 2023 through September 30, 2024, securing a renewal contract with our largest customer, containing an estimated net rate increase for all non-fixed pricing projects of approximately 21%, compared to the current rates in effect for the contract period commencing June 1, 2018, and (ii) on March 13, 2024, we agreed with the note holders to amend the Unrelated Notes and Related Notes to extend the maturity date to December 31, 2025, for $1,519,500 of the remaining $2,364,500 in 2022 Unrelated Notes and all $600,000 of the 2022 Related Notes. However, we believe that our largest customer intends to renegotiate our pricing on a significant portion of our work this customer, which could have an adverse impact on our overall revenues, cash flows, liquidity and capital resources.
Our existing debt as of March 31, 2024 is comprised of approximately $0.3 million due March 30, 2025 and approximately $2.1 million due December 31, 2025. Our operating cash flow alone may be insufficient to meet the debt obligations in full in 2025. 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 and successfully retaining and growing our client base in the midst of global inflation and general economic uncertainty.
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 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 March 31, 2024, our outstanding long-term indebtedness consisted of the 2022 Notes issued to accredited investors on April 1, 2022, with an aggregate outstanding principal balance of $2,464,500 and accrued interest of $0.
See Note 7 and Note 8 to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part 1, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report for further information on the 2022 notes.
Capital Expenditures
There were no material commitments for capital expenditures at March 31, 2024.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of our condensed 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.
Our critical accounting policies and estimates are set forth in Part II, Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023. There were no material changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates during the first quarter 2024.
| ITEM 3. | QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK. |
Not applicable to smaller reporting companies.
| ITEM 4. | CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES. |
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) at the end of the period covered by this this Quarterly Report.
Based on this evaluation, we concluded that, as of March 31, 2024, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving its desired objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect resource constraints and that management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this Quarterly Report that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act).
We regularly review our internal control over financial reporting and, from time to time, we have made changes as we deemed appropriate to maintain and enhance the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting, although these changes do not have a material effect on our overall internal control.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.
None.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS.
Our business and operating results are subject to many risks, uncertainties and other factors. If any of these risks were to occur, our business, affairs, assets, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and prospects could be materially and adversely affected. There have been no material changes to the risk factors set forth in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, except as follows:
Our largest customer may renegotiate the pricing on a significant portion of our work with the customer, which could materially and adversely affect our business, operating results and cash flows.
We believe that our largest customer, may seek a reduction on the pricing on a significant portion of our work with them, which could take effect beginning in the fourth quarter of 2024. While we have not received any formal or written notice from this customer as of the date of this Quarterly Report, in the event of any such renegotiation resulting in a reduction on the pricing of our work, we intend to take actions with respect to other work with this customer that could mitigate the overall effects of any such pricing reduction, although there is no assurance that we will be able to mitigate the effects of any pricing reduction or how effective any such mitigation will be. This customer may terminate any contract or any portion thereof without cause, so it has the ability to renegotiate pricing even outside any stated contract term. The loss of revenue from this customer due to any such pricing reduction could materially and adversely affect our business, operating results and cash flows.
