Material Changes vs. Prior Period
- Revenue Growth: Total revenues increased 19% for the three months and 134% for the nine months ended March 31, 2010, compared to the prior year. This growth is primarily attributed to the Prescient Merger and a significant one-time license sale of $490,000 in the current quarter.
- Profitability Turnaround: The Company reported a net income of $123,209 for the quarter, a significant improvement from a net loss of $1,835,836 in the same period in 2009. The nine-month period also showed a net income of $223,585 versus a loss of $3,859,978 in the prior year.
- Expense Management: Sales and marketing expenses decreased 23% quarter-over-quarter due to salary reductions and lower trade show costs. However, General and Administrative expenses increased 28% due to higher legal fees, stock-based compensation, and bad debt expenses.
- Debt Structure: Current liabilities increased significantly due to the reclassification of long-term lines of credit to short-term status. Total debt obligations remain high, with lines of credit outstanding at approximately $3.48 million.
Outlook, Risks, and Management Commentary
- Liquidity Concerns: The Company reported negative working capital of approximately $4.97 million. Management intends to restructure note obligations maturing within the next twelve months to address this deficit. While management believes existing cash and projected operating cash flows will meet debt service requirements, no assurances are given.
- Debt Restructuring: Recent agreements extended the maturity dates of certain credit facilities to 2010 and 2011 with interest rates between 3.25% and 4.25%. A subsequent event noted a new Term Loan agreement with U.S. Bank N.A. in May 2010.
- Revenue Strategy: Management continues to focus on recurring subscription-based revenues rather than one-time license sales, though license sales remain a component of the business.
- Legal Proceedings: The Company is defending a lawsuit filed by two former employees alleging breach of contract and fraud, seeking damages totaling over $3 million. Management believes the possibility of an adverse outcome is remote.
- Accounting Changes: The Company is evaluating the impact of new FASB standards (ASU 2009-13 and 2009-14) regarding revenue recognition for multiple-deliverable arrangements, effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2010.
Key Facts for Investor Verification
- Working Capital Deficit: Verify the Company's ability to service approximately $7.56 million in current liabilities with only $694,792 in cash and $251,457 in operating cash flow for the nine-month period.
- Debt Maturities: Confirm the status of debt restructuring for obligations maturing within the next 12 months, as the Company explicitly states it intends to restructure these to address the working capital deficit.
- Revenue Quality: Assess the sustainability of revenue growth, noting that a significant portion of the recent increase was driven by a one-time $490,000 license sale and the integration of Prescient.
- Preferred Stock Dividends: Note that net income applicable to common stockholders was negative for the nine-month period ($22,099 loss) due to preferred stock dividends of $245,684, despite positive net income before dividends.
- Legal Exposure: Monitor the status of the pending litigation involving former employees seeking over $3 million in damages.
