Material Changes vs. Prior Period
- Revenue Growth: Net revenue increased 8.6% QoQ and 16.8% YoY (YTD). Growth was driven by an S&P 500 bank adopting the "Orchestration Layer" SaaS platform and increased usage by existing customers.
- Expense Increases: Selling, General, and Administrative (SG&A) expenses rose 13.6% QoQ and 20.2% YoY (YTD), primarily due to increased headcount (83 FTE vs. 80 FTE), higher stock-based compensation ($466k increase YTD), and sales commissions.
- Cost of Services: Increased 21.3% QoQ and 28.8% YoY (YTD), largely due to third-party costs for proof of identity solutions and increased service requests.
- R&D Efficiency: Research and Development expenses decreased 1.7% QoQ and 15.8% YoY (YTD) as the company transitioned outsourced software development to internal teams.
- Liquidity Decline: Cash and cash equivalents dropped from $3.14 million at year-end 2023 to $659,533 at June 30, 2024, due to operating losses and capital expenditures.
Outlook, Risks, and Subsequent Events
- Going Concern Warning: The filing explicitly states substantial doubt about the company's ability to continue as a going concern for the next 12 months due to recurring losses, negative cash flows, and an accumulated deficit of $56.13 million. Continued operations depend on raising additional capital.
- Subsequent Financing (July 2024): On July 13, 2024, the company closed a Securities Purchase Agreement to issue 4,597,701 shares for $2.0 million in promissory notes. The first $500,000 note was repaid on July 25, 2024. The remaining $1.5 million is due upon effectiveness of a resale registration statement.
- Subsequent Debt (July 2024): Entered into a subordinated secured promissory note for $453,600 (principal $315,000) with Agile Lending, LLC, requiring weekly payments starting July 18, 2024.
- Strategic Partnership (August 2024): Signed a license agreement with Boumarang Inc. granting rights to use T Stamp patents for hydrogen-powered drones. Consideration includes a $5 million non-refundable license fee paid via a prepaid warrant for Boumarang stock.
- Customer Concentration: Revenue remains highly concentrated. Three customers accounted for 96.21% of Q2 2024 revenue (S&P 500 Bank, Mastercard, Triton).
Investor Verification Checklist
- Cash Runway: Verify the status of the $1.5 million promissory note receivable from the July financing and the effectiveness of the Form S-3 registration statement.
- Debt Service: Confirm the company's ability to meet the weekly $16,200 payments on the new Agile Lending note starting July 2024.
- Revenue Quality: Assess the sustainability of revenue from the top three customers, which represent over 95% of total revenue.
- Capital Needs: Monitor for additional equity or debt offerings required to fund operations beyond the current cash balance of ~$660k.
- Stock-Based Compensation: Review the impact of the $605k stock-based compensation expense (YTD) on future cash burn and dilution.
