ITEM 1.                                    Business

 

Overview

 

We were incorporated in the State of Delaware in August 1987. We were originally incorporated as Blyth Holdings, Inc. and our name was changed to Omnis Technology Corporation in September 1997. Effective December 1, 2000, we completed the acquisition of PickAx, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“PickAx”). Concurrent with the acquisition, we changed our name to Raining Data Corporation. On April 17, 2008, we changed our name to TigerLogic Corporation. Reference to “we,” “our,” “us” or the “Company” in this Annual Report on Form 10-K means TigerLogic Corporation and our subsidiaries.

 

On January 17, 2013, we completed our acquisition of Storycode, Inc, a privately held mobile application publishing company. Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated December 27, 2012, as amended (the “Merger Agreement”), Storycode became a wholly-owned subsidiary. In accordance with the Merger Agreement, we issued an aggregate of 1,696,329 shares of our common stock and may issue an additional 444,468 shares, subject to an 18-month holdback pursuant to the Merger Agreement, which holdback share number may be adjusted from time to time. We also substituted 822,320 options to purchase our common stock for options to purchase Storycode’s common stock. In addition, we made cash payments aggregating approximately $500,000, of which $100,000 was paid to Storycode during the quarter ended December 31, 2012 in the form of a bridge loan and applied to the purchase price at closing. See footnote 3-Business Acquisition for information regarding the fair value and allocation of total purchase consideration to the tangible and intangible net assets acquired. Since the closing of the acquisition, we began incorporating Storycode’s expertise in mobile application development, user experience, and design into our Postano social media visualization platform to create, what we believe, will be a new kind of social platform with unique mobile distribution capabilities. This new platform is being designed to allow brands to use original and fan-generated content to develop engaging experiences across the worldwide web, live events, and mobile environment.

 

Products

 

Our principal business consists of: 1) the design, development, sale, and support of software infrastructure; 2) a social media content aggregation and visualization platform; 3) Internet search enhancement tools; and 4) the design and development of mobile applications and digital publications. Our products allow customers to create and enhance flexible software applications for their own needs. Our database and rapid application development software may be categorized into the following product lines: Multidimensional Database Management Systems (“MDMS”) and Rapid Application Development (“RAD”) software tools. Many of our database software products are based on the proprietary Pick Universal Data Model (“Pick UDM”) and are capable of handling data from many sources. Our Postano product is a real-time social media content aggregation and visualization platform. Our Internet search enhancement tools include the yolink browser plug-in, yolink API for web sites, and yolink search plug-in for WordPress sites. Our Storycode business includes the design and hosting of mobile applications, and digital publishing solutions such as interactive e-books.

Table of Contents

 

We primarily sell our database and rapid application development software products through established distribution channels consisting of original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), system integrators, specialized vertical application software developers and consulting organizations, as well as through our sales personnel. Our Internet search enhancement tools and social media content aggregation platform are generally sold through our sales personnel and web sites, as well as through co-marketing arrangements with third parties. Our Storycode mobile applications and digital publishing solutions are generally sold through our sales personnel. Outside the United States, we maintain direct sales offices in the United Kingdom, France and Germany. We generally license our database and rapid application development software on a per-CPU, per-server, per-port or per-user basis. We license our yolink products at prices based on usage measured in a variety of ways. We generally license our Postano platform on a time-based subscription basis. We may make both our yolink and Postano products available to users for free under certain circumstances. We generally sell our Storycode mobile application design and digital publishing services on a project fee basis, and charge monthly fees for hosting mobile applications. We also provide continuing software maintenance and support, and other professional services relating to our products, including consulting and training services. The majority of our revenue to date has been principally derived from MDMS and RAD software products.

 

In addition, one of the elements of our business strategy involves expansion through the acquisition of businesses, assets, products or technologies that allow us to complement our existing product offerings, expand our market coverage, or enhance our technological capabilities, such as the recent acquisition of Storycode. We continually evaluate and explore strategic opportunities as they arise, including business combination transactions, strategic partnerships, and the purchase or sale of assets, including tangible and intangible assets such as intellectual property.

 

TigerLogic Postano

 

Postano is a real-time social content aggregation and visualization platform, bringing together social media conversations and content streams from around the web. The Postano platform includes Postano Mobile, Postano Events, Postano Retail, Postano Social Hub, and the built-in Postano Monitoring dashboard capabilities. Postano aggregates social content across Twitter, Tumblr, Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, and other social platforms. Within Postano, these content streams can be moderated, curated, analyzed, and then displayed in physical store locations, at events to increase brand awareness, on website social hubs to amplify engagement, and on hashtag campaign landing pages to create brand conversation and increase participation. Postano is designed primarily for commercial use, with pricing based on a number of factors, including the type of Postano, the number of Postanos, features, and support levels desired. Through March 31, 2013, revenue recognized from Postano products has not been significant.

 

TigerLogic Yolink

 

Yolink is a next-generation search enhancement technology that increases the effectiveness of search functionality across web sites and services. Yolink can search both structured markup, such as HTML, and binary code documents as well as unstructured, raw text documents by layering a common semantic model across them, and using this to organize and effect full-text searches across documents. Yolink searches behind links and through web sites to retrieve content based on keyword search terms. To facilitate the user’s review of search results, each keyword is highlighted with a unique color. This capability is especially useful for reviewing and searching through the many web pages that contain hundreds, if not thousands, of embedded hyperlinks. Yolink technology can be applied to many platforms and Internet delivery methodologies. Yolink application programming interfaces (known as APIs) allow developers to integrate yolink search technologies with their web sites, services or applications. Yolink is available for download at www.yolink.com. Through March 31, 2013, revenue recognized from the yolink search technology has not been significant.

 

Multi-dimensional Databases (MDMS)

 

Our MDMS products deliver a powerful development environment for today’s business-critical transactional applications. The MDMS product line consists of the D3 Database Management System (“D3”), which runs on popular operating systems, including IBM AIX, Linux and Windows, with data and applications being fully portable from one environment to another, and mvBase, a Multidimensional Database Management system that runs on Windows.

 

Built on the Multidimensional Database Model, our MDMS products are simplistic in structure but allow for complex definitions of data structures and program logic. This helps developers meet ever-changing business needs by providing the ability to rapidly build critical business applications in a fraction of the time as compared to other database environments. Our MDMS products are used by direct users and value added resellers who have developed various applications that serve a large variety of vertical markets, including manufacturing, distribution, healthcare, government, retail and transportation.

Table of Contents

 

Version 9.1 of D3, released in February 2013, and version 3.1 of mvBase, released in March 2012, added enhanced security, licensing and additional enhancements to the .NET and Java APIs, providing developers a cost effective solution for developing applications utilizing Microsoft Visual Studio; and bundled support for Java, allowing development of applications utilizing Java. Version 9.1 of D3 for AIX, released to beta in January 2013, introduced the first 64-bit version of our MDMS products.

 

The MVS Toolkit, released in February 2012, enables developers to easily create and deploy Web Services for D3 and mvBase, exposing data stored in the MDMS via Web Services. The MVS Toolkit allows interaction with other applications in a Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) environment.

 

Rapid Application Development (RAD) Tools

 

Our RAD products support the full life cycle of software application development and are designed for rapid prototyping, development and deployment of graphical user interface (“GUI”) client/server and web applications. The RAD products - Omnis Studio and Omnis Classic - are object-oriented and component-based, providing the ability to deploy cross-platform applications on operating system platforms and database environments.

 

In June 2013, we released version 6.0 of Omnis Studio featuring major new enhancements to its JavaScript Client platform that enables developers to create and deploy highly interactive web and mobile enterprise applications for Android, iOS, BlackBerry, and Windows based devices, all from one code base. The JavaScript Client technology in Omnis Studio 6.0 achieves tighter integration with native device functionality, resulting in a richer and more engaging mobile experience for end users. Omnis Studio 6.0 uses scripting compatible with HTML5 and CSS3 to enable support for all popular browsers and devices, including tablets, smartphones, desktops, and web-enabled TVs. Omnis-based applications are developed once and deployed to any device, on any platform, with no plug-in installation required.

 

Technical Support

 

Many of our products are used by our customers to build and deploy applications that may become a critical component of their business operations. As a result, continuing to provide customers with technical support services is an important element of our business strategy. Customers who participate in our support programs receive periodic maintenance and upgrade releases on a when-and-if available basis and direct technical support when required.

 

Sales and Distribution

 

In the United States, we sell our MDMS and RAD products through established distribution channels consisting of OEMs, system integrators, specialized vertical application software developers and consulting organizations, as well as through our sales personnel. We sell our Postano, yolink, and Storycode products through our sales personnel and web sites, as well as through co-marketing arrangements with third parties. Outside the United States, we maintain direct sales offices in the United Kingdom, France and Germany. Approximately 28%, 31%, and 31% of our revenue came from sales through our offices located outside the United States for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

 

We sell our products in U.S. Dollars in North America, British Pounds Sterling in the United Kingdom and Euros in France and Germany. Because we recognize revenue and expense in these various currencies but report our financial results in U.S. Dollars, changes in exchange rates may cause variances in our period-to-period revenue and results of operations in future periods.

 

We generally license our MDMS and RAD software on a per-CPU, per-server, per-port or per-user basis. Therefore, the addition of CPUs, servers, ports or users to existing systems increases our revenue from our installed base of licensees. Similarly, a decrease in CPUs, servers, ports or users would result in a decrease in our revenue. In addition to software products, we provide continuing software maintenance and support and, to a limited extent, other professional services to our customers, including consulting and training services to help plan, analyze, implement and maintain application software based on our products.

 

Customers

 

Our MDMS and RAD customers may be classified into two general categories:

 

·                  Independent Software Vendors and Software Developers. The majority of our revenue is derived from independent software vendors, who typically develop their own vertical application software that they sell as a complete package to end user customers. This category includes value added resellers (“VARs”) and software-consulting companies that provide contract programming services to their customers.

Table of Contents

 

·                  Corporate Information Technology (“IT”) Departments.

 

Target customers for Postano are primarily innovative brands who are active in social media channels and who want a platform to aggregate social media conversations and content streams into engaging experiences for events, retail spaces, websites, mobile apps, and executive dashboards. The target customers for our yolink products include companies, bloggers, and individual users who want to enhance their search capabilities. For each of the three years ended March 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, no single customer accounted for more than 10% of our revenue.

 

Research and Development

 

We have devoted significant resources to the research and development of our products and technology. We believe that our future success will depend largely on strong development efforts with respect to both our existing and new products. These development efforts have resulted in updates and upgrades to existing MDMS and RAD products and the launch of new products including the Postano social media and yolink search technology product lines. New product updates and upgrades in our MDMS, RAD, and Postano product lines are currently in progress. We expect to continue our research and development efforts in all product lines for the foreseeable future. We intend for these efforts to improve our future operating results and increase cash flow. However, such efforts may not result in additional new products or revenue, and we can make no assurances that any announced products or future products will be successful.  We spent approximately $5.2 million, $5.9 million, and $6.0 million on research and development in fiscal years 2013, 2012, and 2011, respectively.

 

Competition

 

The application development tools software market is rapidly changing and intensely competitive. Our MDMS products compete with products developed by companies such as Oracle, Microsoft, and Rocket Software. Our RAD products currently encounter competition from several direct competitors, including Microsoft, and competing development environments, including JAVA. Our Postano social media visualization product competes with products developed by companies such as Facebook and Twitter, as well as a number of smaller companies in the emerging social media marketplace. Direct competitors of our yolink search technology include Google, Yahoo, Microsoft, AOL, and Ask, as well as a number of smaller companies with products that directly and indirectly compete with our yolink search technology. Direct competitors of our Storycode technology include companies such as Salesforce and Oracle. Most of our competitors have significantly more financial, technical, marketing, and other resources than we do. As a result, our competitors may be able to respond more quickly to new or emerging technologies, evolving markets and changes in customer requirements, and may devote greater resources to the development, promotion, and sale of their products. We believe that our ability to compete in the various product markets depends on factors both within and outside our control, including the timing of release, performance and price of new products developed by both us and our competitors. Although we believe that we currently compete favorably with respect to most of these factors, we may not be able to maintain our competitive position against current and potential competitors, especially those with greater resources.

 

We continue to focus on growth in new market opportunities, such as the mobile applications for our Postano platform, while also continuing to meet the needs of our loyal customer base by investing in the development of new upgrades and updates for our existing MDMS and RAD product lines. While we have experienced lower license revenue for our MDMS and RAD product lines, we believe that our relatively stable services revenue and prudent management of expenditures will continue to provide sufficient working capital balances to fund new product initiatives aimed at increasing stockholder value.

 

Intellectual Property and Other Proprietary Rights

 

We rely primarily on a combination of trade secret, patent, copyright and trademark laws and contractual provisions to protect our intellectual property and proprietary rights. Our trademarks include TigerLogic, Postano, yolink, Raining Data, Pick, D3, Omnis, Omnis Studio, mvEnterprise, mvBase, mvDesigner, and Storycode, among others. We have eleven issued U.S. patents and six pending U.S. patent applications as of March 31, 2013.

 

We generally license our products to end users on a “right to use” basis pursuant to license agreements that restrict use of products to a specified number of users or a specified usage. We generally rely on “click-wrap” licenses that become effective when a customer downloads and installs the software on its system or accesses and uses our software. In order to retain exclusive ownership rights to our software and technology, we generally provide our software in object code only, with contractual restrictions on copying, disclosure, and transferability. There can be no assurance that these protections will be adequate, that our license agreements will be enforceable in the United States or foreign jurisdictions, or that our competitors will not independently develop technologies that are substantially equivalent or superior to our technology.

Table of Contents

 

Backlog

 

We generally download or ship software products as orders are received and have historically operated with little backlog. As a result, our license revenue in any given quarter is dependent upon orders received and product shipped during the quarter. Historically, there has been a short cycle between receipt of an order and shipment. Consequently, we do not believe that our backlog as of any particular date is meaningful.

 

Employees

 

At March 31, 2013, we had 101 employees worldwide of which 73 were in the United States and 28 were in our international offices. Of the 101 employees, 95 are full-time and approximately 36% are in research and development, 22% in technical support, 27% in sales and marketing and 15% in general and administrative functions. None of our employees are represented by a labor union, and we consider our employee relations to be good. Competition for qualified personnel in our industry is intense. We believe that our future success will continue to depend, in part, on our continued ability to attract, hire and retain qualified personnel.

ITEM 1A.                           Risk Factors

 

We operate in a rapidly changing environment that involves numerous risks and uncertainties. A description of the risks and uncertainties associated with our business is set forth below. You should carefully consider such risks and uncertainties, together with the other information contained in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2013 and in our other public filings. If any of such risks and uncertainties actually occurs, our business, financial condition or operating results could differ materially from the plans, projections and other forward-looking statements included in the section titled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and elsewhere in this report and in our other public filings. In addition, if any of the following risks and uncertainties, or if any other risks and uncertainties, actually occurs, our business, financial condition or operating results could be harmed substantially, potentially causing the market price of our stock to decline, perhaps significantly. The following section lists some, but not all, of these risks and uncertainties that may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operation.

 

IF WE DO NOT DEVELOP NEW PRODUCTS, ENHANCE EXISTING PRODUCTS TO KEEP PACE WITH RAPIDLY CHANGING TECHNOLOGY AND INDUSTRY STANDARDS, AND SUCCESSFULLY INTEGRATE ACQUIRED PRODUCTS AND TECHNOLOGIES, OUR REVENUE MAY DECLINE.

 

We have devoted significant resources to the research and development, as well as acquisitions, of products and technologies. We believe that our future success will depend in large part on strong research and development efforts with respect to both our existing and new products, as well as the integration of newer technologies. We have made extensive efforts to leverage our Pick UDM and core intellectual property to create new product lines, including our yolink search technology

and our Postano social media visualization platform, which we have enhanced by incorporating Storycode’s expertise in mobile application development, user experience, and design to create, what we believe, will be a new kind of social platform with mobile distribution capabilities.

 

While we intend for these efforts to improve our future operating results and increase cash flow, such new products may not be successful or generate significant revenue. The development of new or enhanced software products is a complex and uncertain process requiring high levels of innovation, as well as accurate anticipation of customer and technical trends. In developing new products and services, we may fail to develop and market products that respond to technological changes or evolving industry standards in a timely or cost-effective manner, or experience difficulties that could delay or prevent the successful development, introduction and marketing of these new products. The development and introduction of new or enhanced products also requires us to manage the transition from older products in order to minimize disruptions in customer ordering patterns and to ensure that adequate supplies of new products can be delivered to meet customer demand. Failure to develop and introduce new products, or enhancements to existing products, in a timely and cost-effective manner in response to changing market conditions or customer requirements, or lack of customer acceptance of our products, will materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition. There can be no assurance that we will successfully integrate acquired products and technologies, identify new product opportunities, develop and bring new products to market in a timely manner, or achieve market acceptance of our products or that products and technologies developed by others will not render our products or technologies obsolete or noncompetitive. In addition, if we do not timely optimize complementary product lines and services, or if we fail to adequately support or enhance acquired product lines or services, our business may be adversely affected.

 

ACQUISITIONS PRESENT MANY RISKS, AND WE MAY NOT REALIZE THE FINANCIAL AND STRATEGIC GOALS AND SYNERGIES THAT WERE CONTEMPLATED OR ANTICIPATED AT THE TIME OF AN ACQUISITION.

 

One of the elements of our business strategy involves expansion through the acquisition of businesses, assets, products or technologies that allow us to complement our existing product offerings, expand our market coverage, or enhance our technological capabilities. Risks we may face in connection with any such acquisitions include the following:

 

· Our ongoing business may be disrupted and our management’s attention may be diverted by acquisition, transition or integration activities;

 

· An acquisition may not further our business strategy as we expected, we may not integrate an acquired company or technology as successfully as we anticipated or we may overpay for, or otherwise not realize the expected return on, our investments;

 

· We may have difficulties in: (i) managing an acquired company’s technologies or lines of business or (ii) entering new markets where we have no or limited direct prior experience or where competitors may have stronger market positions;

 

· Our operating results or financial condition may be adversely impacted by claims or liabilities that we assume from an acquired company or technology or that are otherwise related to an acquisition, including claims from government agencies, terminated employees, current or former customers, former stockholders or other third parties and intellectual property claims or disputes;

 

· We may fail to identify or assess the magnitude of certain liabilities, shortcomings or other circumstances prior to acquiring a company or technology, which could result in unexpected litigation or regulatory exposure, unfavorable revenue recognition or other accounting treatment, unexpected increases in taxes due, a loss of anticipated tax benefits or other adverse effects on our business, operating results or financial condition;

 

· We may not realize the anticipated synergies or increases in our revenues for a number of reasons, including if we fail to engage new customers or enter new markets with our integrated products, if we are unable to sell the acquired products to our existing customer base or if contract models of an acquired company do not allow us to recognize revenues on a timely basis;

 

· We may have difficulty incorporating acquired technologies or products with our existing product lines and maintaining uniform standards, architecture, controls, procedures and policies;

 

· We may have multiple product lines as a result of our acquisitions that are offered, priced and supported differently, which could cause customer confusion and delays;

 

9



Table of Contents

 

· We may incur higher than anticipated costs in continuing support and development of acquired products, and in administrative functions that support new business models, or in compliance with associated regulations that are more complicated than we had anticipated;

 

· We may be unable to successfully integrate and retain the acquired companies’ employees and other personnel;

 

· Our use of cash to pay for acquisitions may limit other potential uses of our cash and may deplete our cash reserves;

 

· To the extent that we issue a significant amount of equity securities in connection with future acquisitions, existing stockholders may be diluted and earnings per share may decrease; and

 

· We are required to account for our acquisitions pursuant to U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, including recording goodwill and intangible assets that are subject to impairment testing on a regular basis and potential periodic impairment charges, incurring amortization expenses related to certain intangible assets, incurring write-offs, restructuring or other related expenses and accounting for arrangements that we assume from an acquisition.

 

Mergers, acquisitions, and dispositions of high-technology companies are inherently risky and subject to many factors outside of our control. No assurance can be given that our previous or future acquisitions or dispositions will be successful and will not materially adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition or cash flows. Failure to manage and successfully integrate acquisitions could materially harm our business and operating results. Even when an acquired company has already developed and marketed products, there can be no assurance that product enhancements will be made in a timely fashion or that pre-acquisition due diligence will have identified all possible issues that might arise with respect to such products. In addition, accounting for acquisitions may result in charges during a particular quarter, causing variability in our quarterly earnings. Our effective tax rate for future periods is uncertain and could be impacted by mergers and acquisitions.

 

OUR FAILURE TO COMPETE EFFECTIVELY MAY HAVE AN ADVERSE IMPACT ON OUR OPERATING RESULTS.

 

The market for our products is highly competitive, diverse and subject to rapid change. Our products and services compete on the basis of the following key characteristics: performance; inter-operability; scalability; functionality; reliability; pricing; post sale customer support; quality; compliance with industry standards; and overall total cost of ownership. The application development tools software market is rapidly changing and intensely competitive. Our MDMS products compete with products developed by companies such as Oracle, Microsoft and Rocket Software. Our RAD products currently encounter competition from several direct competitors, including Microsoft, and competing development environments, including JAVA. Direct competitors of our Postano social media visualization product include Facebook and Twitter, as well as numerous smaller companies in the emerging social media marketplace. Direct competitors of our yolink search technology include Google, Yahoo, Microsoft, AOL and Ask, as well as a number of smaller companies with products that directly and indirectly compete with our yolink search technology. Direct competitors of our Storycode business include companies such as Salesforce and Oracle. Additionally, as we expand our business and integrate acquired products and technologies, we expect to compete with a different group of companies, including smaller, highly focused companies offering single products.

 

The strong competition we face in the sales of our products and services, and general economic and business conditions, can put pressure on us to change our prices. If our competitors offer deep discounts on certain products or services, or develop products that the marketplace considers more valuable, we may need to lower prices or offer other favorable terms in order to compete successfully. Any such changes may reduce margins and could adversely affect our operating results and cash flows.

 

Most of our competitors have significantly more financial, technical, marketing and other resources than we do. As a result, these competitors may be able to respond more quickly to new or emerging technologies, evolving markets and changes in customer requirements and may devote greater resources to the development, promotion and sale of their products. Our products and services could fall behind marketplace demands at any time. If we fail to address the competitive challenges, our business and operating results would suffer materially.

 

BECAUSE OUR MDMS AND RAD PRODUCTS COMPETE WITH PRODUCTS FROM MUCH LARGER AND WELL KNOWN COMPANIES, OUR REVENUE MAY DECLINE IF WE CANNOT MAINTAIN OUR SALES TO EXISTING CUSTOMERS OR GENERATE SALES TO NEW CUSTOMERS.

 

We face very strong competition from much larger and better known companies in the markets for our MDMS and RAD products. As a result, existing customers and new customers may be inclined to adopt other technologies. To maintain or grow our revenue in these markets, we will need to maintain or grow our sales to existing customers and to generate sales to new customers, including corporate development teams, commercial application developers, system integrators, independent

software vendors and independent consultants. If we fail to attract new customers, if we lose our customers to competitors, or if the MDMS or RAD markets decline, our revenue may be adversely affected. In the longer term, it is expected that our revenue from the MDMS and RAD markets will eventually decline as customers adopt newer technologies.

 

ADVERSE ECONOMIC CONDITIONS COULD CONTINUE TO HARM OUR BUSINESS.

 

Our operations and performance depend significantly on global economic conditions. Instability in the global credit markets, including European economic and financial turmoil related to sovereign debt issues in certain countries, may continue to put pressure on global economic conditions. If economic conditions remain uncertain in key markets, including without limitation the United States and Western Europe where we derive a majority of our revenue, we will continue to experience adverse impacts on our business, operating results, and financial condition. Unfavorable changes in economic conditions, including recession, rising inflation, diminished credit availability, declining valuation of investments or other changes in economic conditions have resulted in lower information technology spending and have adversely affected our revenue. For example, current or potential customers may have been unable to fund software purchases, potentially causing them to delay, decrease or cancel purchases of our products and services or to not pay us or to delay paying us for previously purchased products and services. Further, since we generally license our MDMS and RAD software on a per-CPU, per-server, per-port or per-user basis, any decrease in CPUs, servers, ports or users by our customers would result in a decrease in our revenue. These and other economic factors could continue to have a material adverse effect on demand for our products and services and on our financial results.

 

WE HAVE A HISTORY OF LOSSES AND MAY CONTINUE TO INCUR SIGNIFICANT LOSSES IN THE FUTURE.

 

We incurred net losses of approximately $2.9 million and $3.5 million for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. We had an accumulated deficit of approximately $111.7 million as of March 31, 2013. We may continue to incur significant losses in the future for a number of reasons, including uncertainty as to: (i) the level of our future revenues; (ii) our efforts to monetize newer technologies we have developed, including Postano and yolink; and (iii) our efforts to integrate acquired products and technologies. We plan to continue to pursue strategic opportunities, including investment in new product development, and evaluation of strategic acquisitions and dispositions of assets and technologies. Forecasting our revenues and profitability for these new business models is inherently uncertain and volatile. We will need to generate significant increases in our revenues to achieve and maintain profitability, particularly given the current small size of our business relative to the costs associated with being a public reporting company. If our revenue fails to grow or grows more slowly than we currently anticipate or our operating expenses exceed our expectations, our losses would significantly increase which could harm our business and operating results.

 

OUR PRODUCTS HAVE A LONG SALES CYCLE WHICH COULD RESULT IN DELAYS IN THE RECOGNITION OF REVENUE.

 

The sales cycle for our MDMS and RAD products typically ranges from three to nine months or longer. Our products are typically used by application developers, system integrators and value added resellers to develop applications that are critical to their end user’s business. Because our products are often part of an end user’s larger business process, re-engineering initiative, or implementation of client/server or web-based computing, the end users frequently view the purchase of our products as part of a long-term strategic decision regarding the management of their workforce-related operations and expenditures. Thus, this sometimes results in end users taking a significant period of time to assess alternative solutions by competitors or to defer a purchase decision as a result of an unrelated strategic issue beyond our control. The adoption cycle for our yolink search technology and Postano social media visualization platform is anticipated to be long since the search and social media markets currently have much larger direct competitors such as Google, Yahoo, Microsoft, AOL, Ask, and Facebook and Twitter, respectively. As a result, a significant period of time may elapse between our research and development efforts and recognition of revenue, if any.

 

THE CONCENTRATION OF OUR STOCK OWNERSHIP GIVES CERTAIN STOCKHOLDERS SIGNIFICANT CONTROL OVER OUR BUSINESS.

 

As of May 31, 2013, Astoria beneficially owned approximately 49.8% of our outstanding common stock. Richard W. Koe, Chairman of the Board of Directors and our President and Chief Executive Officer, serves as the Managing General Partner for Astoria Capital Management, Inc., a general partner of Astoria. This concentration of stock ownership allows Astoria, acting alone, to potentially block or delay any actions that require approval of our stockholders, including the election of members to our Board of Directors and the approval of significant corporate transactions. Moreover, this concentration of ownership may delay or prevent a change in control.

WE MAY EXPERIENCE QUARTERLY FLUCTUATIONS IN OPERATING RESULTS, POSSIBLY RESULTING IN VOLATILITY OF OUR STOCK PRICE.

 

We expect to continue to spend substantial amounts of money in the area of research and development, sales and marketing and operations in order to integrate acquired products and technology and to promote new product development and introduction. Because the expenses associated with these activities are relatively fixed in the short-term, we may be unable to timely adjust spending to offset any unexpected shortfall in revenue growth or any decrease in revenue levels. Operating results may also fluctuate due to factors such as:

 

·                  the size and timing of customer orders;

 

·                  changes in pricing policies by us or our competitors;

 

·                  our ability to develop, introduce, and market new and enhanced versions of our products;

 

·                  our ability to integrate acquired products and technologies;

 

·                  our ability to realize the anticipated synergies from the businesses we acquire;

 

·                  the number, timing, and significance of product enhancements and new product announcements by our competitors;

 

·                  the demand for our products;

 

·                  non-renewal of customer support agreements;

 

·                  the timing and significance of acquisition-related expenses and accounting charges;

 

·                  software defects and other product quality problems; and

 

·                  personnel changes.

 

We operate without a significant backlog of orders. As a result, the quarterly sales and operating results in any given quarter are dependent, in large part, upon the volume and timing of orders booked and products shipped during that quarter. Accordingly, we may be unable to adjust spending in a timely manner to compensate for any unanticipated decrease in orders, sales or shipments. Therefore, any decline in demand for our products and services, in relation to the forecast for any given quarter, could materially and negatively impact the results of our operations. As a result, our quarterly operating results may fluctuate, potentially causing our stock price to be volatile. In addition, we believe that period-to-period comparisons of our operating results should not be relied upon as indications of future performance.

 

A significant drop in our stock price could also expose us to the risk of securities class actions lawsuits, which could result in substantial costs and divert management’s attention and resources, which could adversely affect our business.

 

THE SUCCESS OF OUR BUSINESS DEPENDS IN PART UPON OUR ABILITY TO RECRUIT AND RETAIN KEY PERSONNEL AND MANAGEMENT.

 

Mr. Koe was appointed Interim President and Chief Executive Officer in February 2009, and in connection with the acquisition of Storycode in January 2013, Mr. Koe’s title was modified to eliminate the “interim” references, and he continues to serve as our President and Chief Executive Officer. The loss of one or more of our executives could adversely affect our business. In addition, we have in the past restructured or made other adjustments to our workforce in response to management changes, product changes, performance issues, acquisitions and other internal and external considerations. Workforce restructurings could result in a temporary lack of focus and reduced productivity, negatively affecting our revenues.

 

We believe that our future success will depend to a significant extent on our ability to recruit, hire and retain highly skilled management and employees with experience in engineering, product management, business development, sales, marketing and customer service. For example, on June 3, 2013, we announced the appointment of Thomas O’Keefe as our Senior Vice President, Mobile and Social, to replace James McDermott, who left our company to pursue other interests. In addition, we appointed Justin Garrity, who joined us as part of the acquisition of Storycode, Inc., as our Senior Vice President, Product and Marketing. Also on June 3, 2013, our Board of Directors accepted the resignation of Gerald S. Chew from the position of Senior Vice President, Corporate and Product Development, effective July 31, 2013. Mr. Chew will continue to serve as a director where he has served since joining our Board in 1998. Competition for such personnel in the software industry can be intense, and there can be no assurance that we will be successful in attracting and retaining such personnel. If we are unable to do so, we may experience inadequate levels of staffing to develop and license our products and perform services for our customers, adversely affecting our business.

THE INABILITY TO PROTECT OUR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY COULD HARM OUR ABILITY TO COMPETE.

 

Our ability to compete successfully will depend, in part, on our ability to protect our proprietary technology and operations without infringing upon the rights of others. We may fail to do so. We rely primarily on a combination of patent, trade secret, copyright and trademark laws and contractual provisions to protect our intellectual property and proprietary rights. Our trademarks include TigerLogic, Postano,  yolink, Pick, D3, Omnis, Omnis Studio, mvEnterprise, mvBase, mvDesigner, and Storycode, among others. We have eleven issued U.S. patents and six pending U.S. patent applications as of March 31, 2013. Although we have been issued numerous patents and other patent applications are currently pending, there can be no assurance that any of these patents or other proprietary rights will not be challenged, invalidated, or circumvented or that our rights will, in fact, provide competitive advantages to us. In addition, there can be no assurance that patents will be issued from pending applications or that claims allowed on any patents will be sufficiently broad to protect our technology. Further, the laws of some foreign countries may not protect our proprietary rights to the same extent as do the laws of the United States. The outcome of any actions taken in these foreign countries may be different than if such actions were determined under the laws of the United States. Although we are not dependent on any individual patents or group of patents for particular segments of the business for which we compete, if we are unable to protect our proprietary rights to the totality of the features (including aspects of products protected other than by patent rights) in a market, we may find ourselves at a competitive disadvantage to others who need not incur the substantial expense, time, and effort required to create innovative products. In addition to trademark and copyright protections, we generally license our products to end users on a “right to use” basis pursuant to license agreements that restrict use of products to a specified number of users or a specified usage.

 

We generally rely on “click-wrap” licenses that become effective when a customer downloads and installs software on its system or accesses and uses our software. In order to retain exclusive ownership rights to our software and technology, we generally provide our software in object code only, with contractual restrictions on copying, disclosure and transferability. There can be no assurance that these protections will be adequate, that our license agreements will be enforceable in the United States or foreign jurisdictions or that our competitors will not independently develop technologies that are substantially equivalent or superior to our technology.

 

THIRD PARTIES COULD ASSERT THAT OUR SOFTWARE PRODUCTS OR SERVICES INFRINGE ON THEIR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS, POTENTIALLY RESULTING IN COSTLY LITIGATION, PRODUCT SHIPMENT DELAYS, PRODUCT LICENSING PROHIBITIONS OR REQUIREMENTS TO ENTER INTO ROYALTY OR LICENSING AGREEMENTS.

 

There has been a substantial amount of litigation in the software and online services industry regarding intellectual property rights and there is significant uncertainty in our industry as many of the legal principles associated with software and online services continue to evolve rapidly. Third parties may claim that our current or potential future products or services, including our acquired products and technologies, infringe upon their intellectual property rights, and we may be periodically involved in any number of ordinary course of business proceedings of this type. We expect that software product developers and providers of software applications and online services will increasingly be subject to infringement claims as the number of products, services and competitors in our industry segment grow and the functionality of products and services in different industry segments overlap. Because of the existence of a large number of patents in the software field, the secrecy of some pending patents, and the rapid rate of issuance of new patents, it is not economically practical or even possible to determine in advance whether a product or any of its components infringes or will infringe on the patent rights of others. The asserted claims and/or initiated litigation can include claims against us or our suppliers or customers, alleging infringement of their proprietary rights with respect to our existing or future products or components of those products. Regardless of the merit of these claims, they can be time-consuming, result in costly litigation and diversion of technical and management personnel, or require us to develop a non-infringing technology or enter into royalty or licensing agreements. Where claims are made by customers, resistance even to unmeritorious claims could damage customer relationships. There can be no assurance that licenses will be available on acceptable terms and conditions, if at all, or that our indemnification by our suppliers will be adequate to cover our costs if a claim were brought directly against us or our customers. Furthermore, because of the potential for high court awards that are not necessarily predictable, it is not unusual to find even arguably unmeritorious claims settled for significant amounts. If any infringement or other intellectual property claim made against us by any third party is successful, if we are required to indemnify a customer with respect to a claim against the customer, or if we fail to develop non-infringing technology or license the proprietary rights on commercially reasonable terms and conditions, our business, operating results, and financial condition could be materially and adversely affected.

 

OUR PRODUCTS MAY CONTAIN SOFTWARE DEFECTS POTENTIALLY HARMING OUR BUSINESS.

 

Our enterprise applications development software, search technology, social media, and mobile application and digital publication products may contain undetected errors or failures. This includes our higher risk yolink and Postano products because they are in the early stages of the product life cycle, and especially our recently acquired Storycode business. This may result in loss of, or delay in, customer acceptance of our products and could harm our reputation and our business. Undetected errors or failures in computer software programs are not uncommon.

 

13



Table of Contents

 

The detection and correction of any security flaws can be time consuming and costly. Errors in our software products could affect the ability of our products to work with other hardware or software products, could delay the development or release of new products or new versions of products and could adversely affect market acceptance of our products, including products integrated with our acquired technologies. If we experience errors or delays in releasing new products or new versions of products, we could lose revenues. End users who rely on our products and services for applications that are critical to their businesses may have a greater sensitivity to product errors and security vulnerabilities than customers for software products generally. Software product errors and security flaws in our products or services could expose us to product liability, performance or warranty claims as well as harm our reputation, which could impact our future sales of products and services.

 

IF ASTORIA OR OTHER SECURITIES HOLDERS REQUEST REGISTRATION OF THEIR RESTRICTED SECURITIES, OR THESE SECURITIES HOLDERS SELL A SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNT OF RESTRICTED SECURITIES IN THE OPEN MARKET, OUR STOCK PRICE MAY DECLINE.

 

As of May 31, 2013, we had 29,931,248 outstanding shares of common stock, of which approximately 15 million shares were restricted securities held by Astoria and other holders. Restricted securities may be sold in the public market only if they are registered or if they qualify for an exemption from registration promulgated under the Securities Act. At present, all of our outstanding restricted securities may be registered or are eligible for public sale under Rule 144, subject to volume limitations and other requirements of Rule 144.

 

Sales of a substantial number of shares of common stock by Astoria or other securities holders in the public market, or the perception that those sales may occur, could cause the market price of our common stock to decline. In addition, if we register shares of our common stock in connection with a public offering of securities, we may be required to include shares of restricted securities in the registration, including shares we issued in connection with the Storycode acquisition, possibly adversely affecting our ability to raise capital.

 

OUR GLOBAL OPERATIONS EXPOSE US TO ADDITIONAL RISKS AND CHALLENGES ASSOCIATED WITH CONDUCTING BUSINESS INTERNATIONALLY.

 

We operate on a global basis with offices or distributors in Europe, Africa, Asia, Latin America, South America, Australia and North America and development efforts in North America and Europe. Approximately 28% of our revenue for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2013 was generated from our international offices. We face several risks inherent in conducting business internationally, including but not limited to the following:

 

·                  general economic conditions in each country or region;

·                  fluctuations in interest rates or currency exchange rates;

·                  language and cultural differences;

·                  local and governmental requirements;

·                  political or social unrest;

·                  difficulties and costs of staffing and managing international operations;

·                  potentially adverse tax consequences;

·                  differences in intellectual property protections;

·                  difficulties in collecting accounts receivable and longer collection periods;

·                  seasonal business activities in certain parts of the world; and

·                  trade policies.

 

In addition, compliance with international and U.S. laws and regulations that apply to our international operations increases our cost of doing business in foreign jurisdictions. These laws and regulations include data privacy requirements, labor relations laws, tax laws, anti-competition regulations, import and trade restrictions, export requirements, U.S. laws such as the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, and also local laws prohibiting corrupt payments to governmental officials. Violations of these laws and regulations could result in fines, criminal sanctions against us, our officers or our employees, and prohibitions on the conduct of our business. Any such violations could include prohibitions on our ability to offer our products and services in one or more countries, could delay or prevent potential acquisitions, and could also materially damage our reputation, our brand, our international expansion efforts, our ability to attract and retain employees, our business and our operating results. Our success depends, in part, on our ability to anticipate these risks and manage these difficulties. These factors or any combination of these factors may adversely affect our revenue or our overall financial performance.

CHANGES IN OUR PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES OR ADVERSE OUTCOMES RESULTING FROM EXAMINATION OF OUR INCOME TAX RETURNS COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR OPERATING RESULTS

 

Our provision for income taxes is subject to volatility and could be adversely affected by earnings being lower than anticipated in countries that have lower tax rates and higher than anticipated in countries that have higher tax rates; by changes in the valuation of our deferred tax assets and liabilities; by expiration of or lapses in the R&D tax credit laws; by transfer pricing adjustments, including our intercompany cost sharing arrangements and legal structure; by tax effects of nondeductible compensation; by tax costs related to intercompany realignments; by changes in accounting principles; or by changes in tax laws and regulations, including possible U.S. changes to the taxation of earnings of our foreign subsidiaries, the deductibility of expenses attributable to foreign income, or the foreign tax credit rules. Significant judgment is required to determine the recognition and measurement attribute prescribed in the accounting guidance for uncertainty in income taxes. The accounting guidance for uncertainty in income taxes applies to all income tax positions, including the potential recovery of previously paid taxes, which if settled unfavorably could adversely impact our provision for income taxes or additional paid-in capital. In addition, we have and may become subject to the examination of our income tax returns by the Internal Revenue Service and other tax authorities. We regularly assess the likelihood of adverse outcomes resulting from these examinations to determine the adequacy of our provision for income taxes. There can be no assurance that the outcomes from these examinations will not have an adverse effect on our operating results and financial condition.

 

THE FAILURE OF OUR PRODUCTS TO CONTINUE TO CONFORM TO INDUSTRY STANDARDS MAY HARM OUR OPERATING RESULTS.

 

A key factor in our future success will continue to be the ability of our products to operate and perform well with existing and future, industry-standard enterprise software applications intended to be used in connection with our MDMS and RAD products. Inter-operability may require third party licenses, which may not be available to us on favorable terms or at all. Failure to meet existing or future inter-operability and performance requirements of industry standard applications in a timely manner could adversely affect our business. Uncertainties relating to the timing and nature of new product announcements or introductions or modifications of third party software applications could delay our product development, increase our product development expense or cause customers to delay evaluation, purchase, and deployment of our products.

 

INEFFECTIVE INTERNAL CONTROLS COULD IMPACT OUR BUSINESS AND OPERATING RESULTS.

 

Our internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements because of its inherent limitations, including the possibility of human error, the circumvention or overriding of controls, or fraud. Even effective internal controls can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements. As a smaller reporting company under the SEC rules and regulations, we are currently not subject to the requirements of independent auditor attestation of management’s assessment of our internal controls over financial reporting set forth in Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes Oxley Act of 2002 because the Dodd Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act signed into law on July 21, 2010 permanently exempted companies that are not “accelerated filers” or “large accelerated filers” under the SEC rules from Section 404(b) requirements. If, in the future, we no longer qualify as a smaller reporting company and become an accelerated filer or a large accelerated filer (which may occur if the trading price of our stock, and therefore, our public float, increase significantly, as calculated on an annual basis), we will become subject to the requirements of Section 404(b) in such fiscal years. If such audit identifies any material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, we may be required to provide appropriate disclosures and implement costly and time consuming remedial measures. If we fail to maintain the adequacy of our internal controls, including any failure to implement required new or improved controls, or if we experience difficulties in implementation, our business and operating results could be harmed and we could fail to meet our financial reporting obligations.

 

BUSINESS DISRUPTIONS COULD HURT OUR ABILITY TO EFFECTIVELY PROVIDE OUR PRODUCTS AND SERVICES, DAMAGING OUR REPUTATION AND HARMING OUR OPERATING RESULTS.

 

The availability of our products and services depends on the continuing operation of our information technology systems. Our business operations are vulnerable to damage or interruption from earthquakes, terrorist attacks, floods, fires, power loss, telecommunication failures, computer viruses, computer denial of service attacks, or other attempts to harm our systems. A significant portion of our research and development activities and certain other critical business operations are located in areas with a high risk of major earthquakes. Although we maintain crisis management and disaster response plans, such events could make it difficult or impossible for us to deliver our services to our customers, and could decrease demand for our services, which could damage our reputation and harm our operating results.

ITEM 2.                                    Properties

 

We currently lease approximately 15,000 square feet of office space in Irvine, California. The lease commenced in March 2010 with a 68-month term ending in October 2015, and provides for a base monthly rent of approximately $18,000 for the first year, with annual escalations to approximately $25,000 for the final year. The facility accommodates our engineering, technical support, sales, marketing, and general and administrative personnel.

 

Effective May 1, 2010, we entered into a three-year term lease for approximately 4,500 square feet of office space in Mountain View, California. Total base rent over the three-year term ending April 30, 2013 is approximately $408,000. On May 1, 2012, we amended the lease to extend the term for an additional three years through April 30, 2016, with total base rent over the additional three-year term of approximately $450,000.

 

Effective April 1, 2011, we entered into a 49-month term lease for approximately 7,500 square feet of office space in Portland, Oregon. Total based rent over the 49-month term is approximately $321,000.

 

We own a building consisting of approximately 5,900 total square feet located on approximately six acres of land in Suffolk, England. The facility houses engineering, marketing, technical support, and administrative personnel. We also lease a sales and support office in France and Germany.

 

We believe that our facilities are suitable and adequate for our current needs.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

 

The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our consolidated financial statements, prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses and disclosure of contingent liabilities.

 

On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to revenue recognition and accounting for goodwill and intangible assets. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

 

We have identified the accounting policies below as the policies critical to our business operations and the understanding of our results of operations. We believe the following critical accounting policies and the related judgments and estimates affect the preparation of our consolidated financial statements:

 

REVENUE RECOGNITION. We recognize revenue using the residual method. Under the residual method, revenue is recognized in a multiple element arrangement when company-specific objective evidence of fair value exists for all of the undelivered elements in the arrangement, but does not exist for one or more of the delivered elements in the arrangement. At the outset of the arrangement with the customer, we defer revenue for the fair value of our undelivered elements (e.g., maintenance) based on company-specific objective evidence of the amount at which such items are sold individually to our customers and recognize revenue for the remainder of the arrangement fee attributable to the elements initially delivered in the arrangement (e.g., software license) when the basic criteria of revenue recognition has been met.

 

Revenue attributable to an element in a customer arrangement is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists and delivery has occurred, provided the fee is fixed or determinable, collectability is probable and the arrangement does not require significant customization of the software. If, at the outset of the customer arrangement, we determine that the arrangement fee is not fixed or determinable, we defer the revenue and recognize the revenue when the arrangement fee becomes due and payable. Service revenue relates primarily to consulting services, maintenance and training. Maintenance revenue is initially deferred and then recognized ratably over the term of the maintenance contract, typically 12 months. Consulting and training revenue is recognized as the services are performed and is usually calculated on a time and materials basis. Such services primarily consist of implementation services related to the installation of our products and do not include significant customization to, or development of, the underlying software code. We do not have price protection programs, conditional acceptance agreements, and sales of our products are made without right of return. For contracts that require

 

18



Table of Contents

 

significant modification or customization to the software in accordance with customers’ specifications, we recognize revenue using the completed-contract method. Under this method, revenue and expenses are deferred until customer acceptance of the finished product occurs. There was no revenue recognized using the completed-contract method for fiscal years 2013, 2012 or 2011.

 

BUSINESS COMBINATION AND GOODWILL. We have entered into certain acquisitions, and in the future may make further acquisitions. The application of the purchase method of accounting for business combinations requires the use of significant estimates and assumptions in the determination of the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in order to properly allocate the purchase price consideration between depreciable assets, assumed liabilities, intangibles, and goodwill. Our estimates of the fair values of assets and liabilities acquired are based upon assumptions that we believe to be reasonable and include assistance from independent third-party appraisal firms. When equity instruments are issued as part of the purchase price consideration, we measure them at fair value as of the date of the acquisition.

 

We assess the impairment of goodwill whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable and at least annually during the fourth quarter of each fiscal year. Factors we consider to be important that would trigger an impairment review include the following:

 

·                  Significant underperformance relative to expected historical or projected future operating results;

·                  Timing of our revenue, significant changes in the manner of use of the acquired assets or the strategy for the overall business;

·                  Significant negative industry or economic trends;

·                  Significant decline in our stock price for a sustained period; and

·                  Our market capitalization falling below our net book value for a sustained period.

 

We do not amortize goodwill, but test for goodwill impairment following a two-step process. The first step is used to identify potential impairment by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its net book value (or carrying amount), including goodwill. If the fair value exceeds the carrying amount, goodwill of the reporting unit is considered not impaired and the second step of the impairment test is unnecessary. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the second step of the goodwill impairment test is performed to measure the amount of impairment loss, if any. The second step of the goodwill impairment test compares the implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill with the carrying amount of that goodwill. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit’s goodwill exceeds the implied fair value of that goodwill, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to that excess. The implied fair value of goodwill is determined in the same manner as the amount of goodwill recognized in a business combination. That is, the fair value of the reporting unit is allocated to all of the assets and liabilities of that unit (including any unrecognized intangible assets) as if the reporting unit had been acquired in a business combination and the fair value of the reporting unit was the purchase price paid to acquire the reporting unit. Currently, we have one reporting unit for goodwill impairment testing.

 

Determining the fair value of a reporting unit under the first step of the goodwill impairment test and determining the fair value of individual assets and liabilities of a reporting unit (including unrecognized intangible assets) under the second step of the goodwill impairment test is judgmental in nature and often involves the use of significant estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions could have a significant impact on whether or not an impairment charge is recognized and the magnitude of any such charge. Estimates of enterprise fair value are currently based on our stock price as reported by Nasdaq given our single reporting unit structure. No impairment of goodwill has been identified during any of the periods presented as the enterprise fair value significantly exceeded its carrying value. Due to the current adverse global economic conditions, we continue to monitor the fair value of our reporting unit to identify any potential goodwill impairment.

 

Intangible assets with finite useful life are amortized using the straight-line method over their estimated period of economic benefit. Our intangible assets were acquired in connection with our acquisition of Storycode, Inc. on January 17, 2013. We estimate that our technology intangible asset has a useful life of seven years and our trade and domain  names intangible asset has a useful life of ten years. We evaluate our intangible assets for impairment whenever events and change in circumstances occur which may warrant revised estimate of useful lives or recognition of an impairment loss.

 

EMPLOYEE STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION. Share-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the value of the award and is recognized as expense over the requisite service period. We estimate the fair value of stock-based awards using a Black-Scholes valuation model. Determining the fair value of share-based awards at the grant date requires judgment, including estimating volatility, expected terms, and forfeitures. Volatility is estimated based on historical experience. Expected terms are based on historical experience and consideration of the awards’ contractual terms, vesting schedule and future expectations. Forfeitures are based on our actual forfeiture rate as well as management judgment. If actual results differ significantly from these estimates, stock-based compensation expense and our results of operations could be materially impacted. See Note 5 in the accompanying consolidated financial statements under the subheading “Stock-Based Compensation”.

INCOME TAXES. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recorded for differences between the financial statement and tax bases of the assets and liabilities that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future based on enacted laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Due to uncertainties surrounding the timing of realizing the benefits of the net operating loss carryforwards and tax credits in the future, we carry a full valuation allowance against net deferred tax assets in domestic and foreign jurisdictions, except France and Germany.

 

We accrue for uncertain tax positions when income tax positions do not meet a more-likely-than-not recognition threshold upon the application of the appropriate tax rules and in subsequent periods. Developments such as case law, changes in tax law, new rulings or regulations issued by taxing authorities, and interactions with the taxing authorities could affect whether a position should be recognized or the amount that should be reported.

NET REVENUE. Our revenue is derived principally from two sources: fees from software licensing and fees for post contract technical support. We generally license our database and rapid application development software primarily on a per-CPU, per-server, per-port or per-user basis. Therefore, the addition of CPUs, servers, ports or users to existing systems increases our revenue from our installed base of licenses. Similarly, the reduction of CPUs, servers, ports or users from existing systems decreases our revenue from our installed base of customers. The timing of orders and customer ordering patterns has

 

20



Table of Contents

 

resulted in fluctuations in license revenue between quarters and year-to-year. Total revenue decreased by $0.5 million or 4% for fiscal year 2013, and decreased by $0.3 million or 2% for fiscal year 2012  when compared with the same periods in prior years. The decrease in license revenue in fiscal year 2013 of approximately $0.1 million or 2% , and in fiscal year 2012 of $0.4 million or 9% was primarily due to lower orders of licenses and upgrades from our existing customer base as fewer new users were added. Service revenue in fiscal year 2013 decreased $0.4 million or 4% due to lower professional service revenue and non renewal of certain customer contracts this year compared to prior year. The slight increase in service revenue in fiscal year 2012 of approximately $0.1 million or 1% when compared to fiscal year 2011 was primarily due to higher professional services provided.

 

We have been actively developing and marketing our newer product lines, including our Postano social media visualization platform and yolink technology. Revenue from these new products has not been significant for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, and no revenue was recognized in fiscal year 2011. While we are committed to research and development efforts that are intended to allow us to penetrate new markets and generate new sources of revenue, such efforts may not result in additional products, services or revenue. We can give no assurances as to customer acceptance of any new products or services, or the ability of the current or any new products and services to generate revenue. On January 17, 2013, we completed our acquisition of Storycode, Inc. Revenue from Storycode for the approximate two and one-half month period was not significant.

 

OPERATING EXPENSES

 

COST OF LICENSE REVENUE. Cost of license revenue is comprised of direct costs associated with software license sales including software packaging, documentation, physical media costs, amortization of intangible assets, and royalties. Cost of license revenue increased by $10,000 or 77% for fiscal year ended March 31,2013 mainly due to amortization expense of approximately $15,000 for the technology intangible assets acquired from the Storycode acquisition on January 17, 2013, partially offset by lower royalty costs relating to lower sales of certain Pick products. Cost of license revenue decreased by $4,000 or 24% for fiscal year ended March 31, 2012  when compared with same period in prior year primarily due to lower royalty costs from lower sales of certain Pick products.

 

COST OF SERVICE REVENUE. Cost of service revenue includes primarily personnel costs relating to consulting, technical support and training services. Cost of service revenue for fiscal year 2013 decreased $0.1 million or 8% from the same period in the prior year due to lower personnel costs relating to the consolidation of our offices in the United Kingdom in the prior year, and lower stock compensation expense due to fully amortized options issued in the previous year. Cost of service revenue for the fiscal year 2012 increased $0.1 million or 6% when compared to the same period in prior year due to higher stock compensation expense for new stock options issued at the beginning of the fiscal year 2012, and higher travel and training expenses.

 

SELLING AND MARKETING. Selling and marketing expense consists primarily of salaries, benefits, advertising, trade shows, travel and overhead costs for our sales and marketing personnel. Selling and marketing expense for the fiscal year 2013 decreased approximately $0.7 million or 13% mainly due to lower stock compensation expense of approximately $0.2 million for fully amortized options issued in prior years, lower marketing and consulting expense of approximately $0.3 million, and lower personnel expense of approximately $0.2 million. Selling and marketing expense for the fiscal year 2012 increased approximately $0.6 million or 12% when compared to the same period in the prior year. The increase was due to higher personnel cost of approximately $0.4 million from added headcount, higher marketing expenses relating to the Postano product of approximately $0.1 million, and higher lease expense for our office in Portland of approximately $0.1 million due to a new lease which became effective at the beginning of the fiscal year 2012.

 

We anticipate that selling and marketing costs related to our Postano product lines may increase as we incorporate Storycode’s expertise in user experience and design services, further develop the sales channels for these products, and as customer acceptance of  these products increases.

 

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT. Research and development expense consists primarily of salaries and other personnel-related expenses and overhead costs for engineering personnel, including employees in the United States and the United Kingdom and contractors in the United States. Research and development expense for the fiscal year 2013 decreased $0.6 million or 11% when compared to the same period in the prior year mainly due to lower personnel cost of approximately $0.5 million from lower headcount in our US office, lower consulting and outside support expense of approximately $0.1 million as we terminated services for certain products, and lower stock compensation expense of approximately $0.1 million due to fully amortized options issued in prior years, offset by approximately $0.2 million in personnel costs from the acquisition of Storycode, Inc. completed on January 17, 2013. Research and development expense for the fiscal year 2012 decreased slightly by $0.1 million or 1% mainly due to lower depreciation and amortization expense of $0.2 million as purchased software was fully amortized and certain computer equipment was also fully depreciated in the

preceding year. Consulting expense also decreased by approximately $0.1 million, while personnel expense increased $0.1 million due to new hires in our United Kingdom office. Stock compensation expense also increased approximately $0.1 million due to new options granted to employees at the beginning of the fiscal year 2012.

 

We are committed to our research and development efforts and expect research and development expenses to increase in future periods as we further enhance our Postano platform, investigate further applications and delivery options for our products, and as we build new technology platforms for our RAD product line and continue enhancing our MDMS product line. Such efforts may not result in additional new products, and new products may not generate sufficient revenue, if any, to offset the research and development expense.

 

GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE. General and administrative expense consists primarily of costs associated with our finance, human resources, legal and other administrative functions. These costs consist principally of salaries and other personnel-related expenses, professional fees, depreciation and overhead costs. General and administrative expense for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2013 increased $0.1 million or 4% when compared to the same period in the prior year mainly due to higher stock compensation expense of approximately $0.1 million due to new options issued at the end of fiscal year 2012. General and administrative expense for the fiscal year 2012 decreased $0.4 million or 9% when compared to the same period in the prior year mainly due to lower legal expense of approximately $0.5 million as certain litigation matters ended in the prior year. This decrease was offset by an increase in stock option expense of approximately $0.1 million due to new options issued to employees at the beginning of the fiscal year 2012.

 

Acquisition-related costs of approximately $0.3 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2013 consisted of professional services for legal, accounting, valuation and purchase price allocation work done in connection with our acquisition of Storycode. We expect to incur additional acquisition-related costs of approximately $0.2 million during the quarter ending June 30, 2013.

 

OTHER INCOME (EXPENSE). Other income (expense) consists primarily of interest income (expense) and gains and losses on foreign currency transactions. Other income (expense) increased from approximately $64,000 of expense in fiscal year ended March 31, 2012 to approximately $ 4,000 of income in fiscal year ended March 31, 2013 mainly due to more favorable exchange rates for the Euro and British Pound in the current fiscal year as compared to the prior year. Other income (expense) increased from approximately $1,000 of expense in fiscal year ended March 31, 2011 to approximately $64,000 of expense in fiscal year ended March 31, 2012 due to currency fluctuation of the British Pound and the Euro. Due to the uncertainty in exchange rates, we may experience transaction gains or losses in future periods, the effect of which cannot be predicted at this time.

 

PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES. Our effective tax expense rate was (2.6)%, (2.8)%, and (5.3)% for the fiscal years 2013, 2012, and 2011, respectively. The decrease in income tax provision for the fiscal year 2013 when compared to the fiscal year 2012 was due to lower earnings from our foreign subsidiaries. The decrease in income tax provision for fiscal year 2012 when compared to fiscal year 2011 was due to lower earnings from our foreign subsidiaries, and the reduction to zero from $38,000 in the prior year in our uncertain tax position related to our German subsidiary.

 

Realization of deferred tax assets depends upon future earnings, if any, the timing and amount of which are uncertain. Accordingly, we have offset our net deferred tax assets, which are not more-likely-than-not to be realized, with a valuation allowance. The utilization of our net operating losses could be subject to substantial annual limitation as a result of certain future events, such as acquisition or other significant equity events, which may be deemed as a “change in ownership” under the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and similar state provisions. The annual limitations could result in the expiration of net operating losses and tax credits before utilization.

 

During the year ended March 31, 2012, the German tax authorities closed a tax audit of our subsidiary in Germany for the fiscal years 2005 to 2007, which resulted in a net tax expense of approximately $82,000.

 

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

 

As of March 31, 2013, we had $6.5 million in cash, of which approximately $0.6 million was held by our foreign subsidiaries and, if repatriated, would not be subject to material tax consequences. In connection with the closing of the Storycode acquisition on January 17, 2013, we made cash payments in the aggregate amount of approximately $0.5 million, and we expect to incur additional cash outflows during the quarter ending June 30, 2013 associated with integration costs and other transaction-related expenses. We believe that our existing cash balances will be sufficient to meet our operating and capital expenditure requirements for the remainder of the fiscal year ending March 31, 2014 and through the foreseeable future. We are committed to research and development and marketing efforts that are intended to allow us to penetrate new markets and generate new sources of revenue and improve operating results. However, our research and development and marketing efforts have required, and will continue to require, cash outlays without the immediate or short-term receipt of related revenue.

Our ability to meet our expenditure requirements is dependent upon our future financial performance, and this will be affected by, among other things, prevailing economic conditions, our ability to integrate and grow the Storycode business, penetrate new markets, attract new customers, and achieve market acceptance of our new and existing products and services, the success of research and development efforts and other factors beyond our control.

 

On December 7, 2009, we entered into an amendment to our lease agreement dated November 9, 2004 with The Irvine Company relating to office space in Irvine, California. The amendment modified certain terms of the original lease as follows: (a) the lease term was extended to October 31, 2015; (b) the lease completely terminated as to the approximately 14,000 square foot portion of the premises from the original 29,000 square feet space; and (c) commencing on March 1, 2010, the total base rent over the new lease amendment term became approximately $1.5 million. The annual base rent ranges from approximately $215,000 during the first year to approximately $299,000 during the last year of the lease. The rent expense is being recognized on a straight line basis over the new lease term.

 

Effective May 1, 2010, we entered into a three-year term lease for approximately 4,500 square feet of office space in Mountain View, California. Total base rent over the three-year term ending April 30, 2013 is approximately $408,000. On May 1, 2012, we amended the lease to extend the term for an additional three years through April 30, 2016, with total base rent over the additional three-year term of approximately $450,000.

 

Effective April 1, 2011, we entered into a 49-month term lease for approximately 7,500 square feet of office space in Portland, Oregon. Total base rent over the 49-month term is approximately $321,000.

 

We had no material commitments for capital expenditures as of March 31, 2013.

 

Net cash used in operating activities was $1.9 million, $2.4 million, and $1.4 million for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2013, 2012, and 2011, respectively. The decrease in net cash used in operating activitites during the fiscal year 2013 as compared to the same period in the prior year was primarily due to lower selling and marketing expense, lower research and development expense, and lower cost of service revenue. This decrease was mainly due to lower personnel and consulting expense as we consolidated our UK offices and streamlined the workforce in our US offices. The increase in net cash used in operating activities during the fiscal year 2012 as compared to the same period in the prior year was primarily due to lower revenue, coupled with higher selling and marketing expense, including additional headcount for our Postano product. Net cash used in investing activities was $0.6 million, $0.1 million, and $0.3 million for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2013, 2012, and 2011, respectively. The increase in net cash used in investing activities during the fiscal year 2013 as compared to the same period in the prior year was primarily due to purchases of equipment of $0.1 million and net cash payment of approximately $0.5 million made during the quarter ended March 31, 2013 as part of the acquisition of Storycode. Net cash used in investing activities in fiscal 2012 and 2011 was due to purchase of equipment.  Net cash provided by financing activities was $0.1 million, $0.2 million, and $0.5 million for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2013, 2012, and 2011, respectively.  Net cash provided by financing activities was primarily due to proceeds derived from the exercise of stock options and issuance of common stock.

 

There was no outstanding line of credit during the fiscal years ended March 31, 2013 or 2012.

 

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

 

We did not have any off-balance sheet liabilities or transactions as of March 31, 2013.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL INFORMATION

 

EBITDA or Adjusted EBITDA (each as defined below) should not be construed as a substitute for net income (loss) or as a better measure of liquidity than cash flow from operating activities determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA exclude components that are significant in understanding and assessing our results of operations and cash flows. EBITDA or Adjusted EBITDA do not represent funds available for management’s discretionary use and are not intended to represent cash flow from operations. In addition, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not terms defined by GAAP and as a result our measure of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA might not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.

 

However, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are used by management to evaluate, assess and benchmark our operational results and we believe that EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are relevant and useful information widely used by analysts, investors and other interested parties in our industry. Accordingly, we are disclosing this information to permit a more comprehensive analysis of our operating performance, to provide an additional measure of performance and liquidity and to provide additional information with respect to our ability to meet future capital expenditure and working capital requirements.

 

EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) with adjustments for depreciation and amortization, interest income (expense)-net, and income tax provision (benefit). Adjusted EBITDA used by our company is defined as EBITDA plus adjustments for other income (expense)-net, and non-cash stock-based compensation expense.

 

Our Adjusted EBITDA was negative $1.7 million or negative 13% , negative $1.9 million or negative 15%, and negative $1.5 million or negative 11% of total net revenue for the years ended March 31, 2013, 2012, and 2011, respectively. The improvement in the Adjusted EBITDA for the fiscal year 2013 as compared to the fiscal year 2012 was mainly due to lower operating expenses as the prior year included higher sales and marketing expenses for our Postano product. Fiscal year 2013 also had lower research and development expense than in fiscal year 2012 due to lower personnel cost. The decrease in the Adjusted EBITDA for the fiscal year 2012 as compared to the fiscal year 2011 was mainly due to lower revenue and higher personnel and sales and marketing expenses relating to our Postano product. The following table reconciles Adjusted EBITDA to the GAAP reported net loss:

ITEM 9A.                           Controls and Procedures

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Our principal executive officer and principal financial officer evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Based on such evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) are effective, as of the end of the period covered by this

report, to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Management necessarily applied its judgment in assessing the benefits of controls relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues, if any, within our company have been detected.

 

Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act). Internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

 

A material weakness is a deficiency (within the meaning of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board’s Auditing Standard No. 5), or combination of deficiencies in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

 

Our management evaluated the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting using the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in Internal Control-Integrated Framework. Based on our evaluation, our management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of March 31, 2013.

 

This Annual Report on Form 10-K does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting as we are a smaller reporting company and are not required to provide such a report.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our last fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

This experience, combined with over 11 years relationship with us as a major shareholder, and over 9 years of service on our Board of Directors, including as Chairman, uniquely qualify Mr. Koe to continue to serve as our President and Chief Executive Officer, and as our director.

 

Mr. Chew was appointed as our Senior Vice President, Corporate and Product Development in September 2011 and resigned from that position effective July 31, 2013, while remaining a member of the Board.

Code of Ethics

 

We have adopted a Code of Ethics for Principal Executive and Senior Financial Officers, which is posted on our Internet website at www.tigerlogic.com. We will post any amendments or waivers, if and when approved or granted, of our Code of Ethics on our website at www.tigerlogic.com.

Employment Contracts and Termination of Employment and Change-in-Control Arrangements

 

Regardless of the reason for termination, a named executive officer is entitled to receive upon termination of employment amounts earned through the termination date, including, base salary and unused vacation pay, and the right to exercise any shares of options vested up to the executive’s termination date. The named executive officers are not otherwise entitled to any severance benefits upon voluntary resignation. Our Compensation Committee and Board of Directors determine whether any severance benefits are provided upon any voluntary termination on a case by case basis.

 

On April 8, 2009, in connection with the prior appointment of Richard W. Koe as Interim President and Chief Executive Officer, we entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Koe. This initial employment agreement provided that Mr. Koe would receive base compensation of $240,000 per year beginning April 1, 2009. Mr. Koe also was eligible to participate in our customary employee benefit plans. In connection with the closing of the acquisition of Storycode, and the change in Mr. Koe’s title to President and Chief Executive Officer effective January 17, 2013, we entered into an amended and restated employment and severance agreement with Mr. Koe. This amended agreement provides for the same base compensation of $240,000 per year, and Mr. Koe is eligible for a discretionary bonus and is eligible to participate in our customary employee benefit plans, including dental, vision, and disability insurance plans. In the event Mr. Koe is involuntarily terminated by us, which includes

Table of Contents

 

termination without cause or resignation due to specified reasons, as defined in the agreement, but does not include termination for cause or due to death or disability, Mr. Koe will be entitled to a lump sum severance payment in the amount of six months of his annual base salary, as then in effect, plus an additional month of annual base salary for each year of employment with us, up to an aggregate maximum of 12 months. In the event such termination occurs within 12 months following a change in control of the Company, in addition to the foregoing severance, Mr. Koe will be entitled to the acceleration of vesting of any then unvested equity incentive awards. Mr. Koe’s receipt of severance benefits will be contingent upon his signing and not revoking a general release in a commercially customary form prescribed by us. During his employment with us, Mr. Koe will continue to serve as the President of Astoria Capital Management, as the Managing General Partner of Astoria Capital Partners, L.P., and as a director on our Board of Directors.

 

Effective April 23, 2006, we entered into an offer letter agreement with Mr. Lim. In connection with the closing of the acquisition of Storycode, effective January 17, 2013, we entered into an amended and restated employment and severance agreement with Mr. Lim. This amended agreement provides for the same base compensation of $200,000 per year, and Mr. Lim is eligible for a discretionary bonus and is eligible to participate in our customary employee benefit plans, including dental, vision, and disability insurance plans. In the event Mr. Lim is involuntarily terminated by us, which includes termination without cause or resignation due to specified reasons, as defined in the agreement, but does not include termination for cause or due to death or disability, Mr. Lim will be entitled to a lump sum severance payment in the amount of six months of his annual base salary, as then in effect, plus an additional month of annual base salary for each year of employment with the Company, up to an aggregate maximum of 12 months. In the event such termination occurs within 12 months following a change in control of the Company, in addition to the foregoing severance, Mr. Lim will be entitled to the acceleration of vesting of any then unvested equity incentive awards. Mr. Lim’s receipt of severance benefits will be contingent upon his signing and not revoking a general release in a commercially customary form prescribed by us.

 

On June 13, 2011, in connection with Mr. Torng’s appointment as our Vice President of Marketing, we entered into an offer letter agreement with Mr. Torng. Mr. Torng’s offer letter provides that he will receive base compensation of $175,000 per year and a grant of a stock option to purchase up to 250,000 shares of our common stock, which will vest, so long as he remains a full-time employee of ours, in twenty-five percent increments upon achievement of certain revenue milestones related to the performance of certain of our product lines. In the event that Mr. Torng is terminated as a result of an involuntary termination, other than for cause or disability, within twelve (12) months after a change of control, one hundred percent (100%) of the shares subject to the options granted to Mr. Torng shall be vested on the date of Mr. Torng’s termination. Prior to joining us as an employee, Mr. Torng provided certain consulting services to us and, in connection with such services, received a grant of a stock option to purchase up to 20,000 shares of our common stock on March 23, 2011, which was fully vested as of March 31, 2012.

 

On September 1, 2011, in connection with Mr. Chew’s appointment as our Senior Vice President, Corporate and Product Development, we entered into an offer letter agreement with Mr. Chew. Mr. Chew’s offer letter provides that he will receive base compensation of $200,000 per year, a one-time signing bonus in the amount of $24,000 and a grant of a stock option to purchase up to 300,000 shares of our common stock, which will vest in accordance with our standard vesting schedule. In the event that Mr. Chew is terminated as a result of an involuntary termination, other than for cause or disability, within twelve (12) months after a change of control, one hundred percent (100%) of the shares subject to the options granted to Mr. Chew shall be vested on the date of Mr. Chew’s termination. Mr. Chew resigned from his position as an officer effective as of July 31, 2013, and will receive a transition payment in the amount $20,000, contingent upon his signing and not revoking a general release in a commercially customary form prescribed by us.

 

On January 17, 2013, in connection with Mr. McDermott’s appointment as the Company’s Senior Vice President, Mobile and Social, and upon the closing of the acquisition of Storycode, Inc., we assumed the employment and severance agreement, as amended, of Mr. McDermott, former Chief Executive Officer of Storycode, Inc. This amended agreement provided Mr. McDermott with base compensation of $200,000 per year, and eligibility for a target bonus of up to 50% of annual base salary. He was also eligible to participate in our customary employee benefit plans, including dental, vision, and disability insurance plans. Mr. McDermott was entitled to a signing bonus of $45,000, payable in two installments, the second installment being contingent upon continued employment after the initial six months. The bonus was also subject to certain clawback provisions in the event of employment termination prior to January 17, 2014. Mr. McDermott resigned from the Company on May 31, 2013, and is no longer eligible to receive the second installment of the signing bonus.

 

Director Compensation

 

We reimburse directors for travel and other out-of-pocket expenses incurred in attending Board meetings. Until June 2009, we did not pay cash compensation to our directors. On June 3, 2009, the Board approved a compensation program for the non-employee members of the Board effective that same date that provides for the following cash payments. Each non-employee director will be entitled to receive $1,000 for each Board meeting attended in-person; $500 for each Board meeting attended telephonically; and $250 for each meeting of the Committees of the Board. On April 7, 2010, the Board adopted a

Table of Contents

 

compensation program for the non-employee members of the Board effective that same date that provides for: (1) the continuation of the cash payments for meeting attendance that was adopted on June 3, 2009 as described above, and (2) an equity incentive compensation for their services on the Board and the Committees of the Board. Under the equity incentive compensation program, each non-employee director will receive an annual stock option grant of 10,000 shares of our common stock on the first business day immediately following the date of each Annual Meeting of Stockholders. Any non-employee director newly elected to the Board will receive an initial stock option grant of 25,000 shares of our common stock on the first business day immediately following the date of the election. A director first elected to the Board at any Annual Meeting will receive the initial grant, but not the annual grant on the date following the Annual Meeting at which he or she will have been elected. All of the options granted to non-employee directors will vest monthly over a three-year period and, in accordance with our existing policy, will be subject to 100% acceleration in the event of a Corporate Transaction, as described below.

 

Richard W. Koe, our Chairman and President and Chief Executive Officer, is not eligible to participate in this compensation program for so long as he is an employee of ours. Gerald F. Chew was appointed as our Senior Vice President, Corporate and Product Development, on September 1, 2011, and was no longer eligible to participate in this compensation program.

 

The Board will annually evaluate and consider whether to maintain or modify the compensation program for the non-employee directors.

(3)                  Mr. Koe’s security ownership is described in Item 12 hereof. Mr. Koe was appointed Interim President and Chief Executive Officer on February 26, 2009. In connection with the closing of the acquisition of Storycode, Inc. on January 17, 2013, Mr. Koe’s title was modified to eliminate the “interim” references, and he continues to serve as President and Chief Executive Officer. Mr. Koe continues to serve as Chairman of the Board.

ITEM 12.                            Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management and Related Stockholder Matters

As of May 31, 2013, there were 29,931,248 shares of issued and outstanding common stock. In computing the number and percentage of shares beneficially owned by a person, shares of common stock subject to options currently exercisable, or exercisable within sixty (60) days of May 31, 2013, are counted as outstanding, but these shares are not counted as outstanding for computing the percentage ownership of any other person.

(2)                  Represents shares of common stock that may be issued pursuant to options available for future grant under the following plans: 3,773,631 shares under the 2009 Plan and 302,270 shares of common stock available for purchase by employees under the 2011 Amended and Restated Employee Stock Purchase Plan.

ITEM 13.                            Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence

 

The offer letter agreement between us and Mr. Lim, and the employment agreement between us and Mr. Koe may be found under the caption “Employment Contracts and Termination of Employment and Change-in-Control Arrangements” in Item 11 hereof.

 

We have entered into our standard form of indemnification agreement with each of our directors and executives.

 

It is our current policy that all transactions between us and our officers, directors, five percent (5%) stockholders and their affiliates will be entered into only if these transactions are approved by our Audit Committee, are on terms no less favorable to us than could be obtained from unaffiliated parties and are reasonably expected to benefit us.

 

The Board has determined that all of its directors, other than Mr. Koe and Mr. Chew, are “independent” for purposes of the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and the applicable rules of the listing standards of the NASDAQ Stock Market (“NASDAQ”). Mr. Chew was an “independent” director prior to joining the Company as an employee in September 2011. Until January 17, 2013, the Company relied on the “Controlled Company” exemption set forth in Rule 5615(c)(2) of the NASDAQ listing standards because Mr. Koe served on both the Compensation Committee and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. The Company was a “Controlled Company” as defined in such Rule because more than 50% of the voting power of the Company was held by Astoria. Following the closing of the Company’s acquisition of Storycode, Inc. on January 17, 2013, Astoria no longer holds more than 50% of the voting power of the Company. Accordingly, Mr. Koe resigned from both the Compensation Committee and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee effective upon the closing of the acquisition of Storycode, Inc. Effective January 17, 2013, Mr. Barrett was appointed Chairman of the Compensation Committee and Mr. Marshall was appointed Chairman of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. The Board has determined that the members of the Audit Committee and the Compensation Committee are “independent” for purposes of the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC and the applicable rules of the Nasdaq listing standards.

Audit Fees. Audit Fees relate to professional services rendered in connection with the audit of our annual financial statements, quarterly review of financial statements included in our 10-Q, and audit services provided in connection with other statutory and regulatory filings.

 

Audit-Related Fees. Audit-related fees include assurance and related services that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of our financial statements, but which are not reported under “Audit Fees”. We did not incur any “Audit-Related Fees” in the fiscal years ended March 2013 and 2012.

 

Tax Fees. Tax Fees include professional services related to tax compliance, tax advice and tax planning and transfer pricing consultation, including the preparation of federal and state tax returns.

 

All Other Fees. All other fees consist of fees billed for all other products and services. We did not incur any “All Other Fees” in the fiscal years ended March 31, 2013 and 2012.

 

The Audit Committee pre-approved all of the services provided by KPMG LLP in fiscal years 2013 and 2012. Pursuant to the Audit Committee Charter, the Audit Committee must pre-approve audit and non-audit services to be provided to us by the independent auditor, or subsequently approve non-audit services in those circumstances where a subsequent approval is necessary and permissible.

 

The Audit Committee has determined that the rendering of all the services described above by KPMG LLP was compatible with maintaining the auditors’ independence.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

The Board of Directors and Stockholders

TigerLogic Corporation:

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of TigerLogic Corporation and subsidiaries as of March 31, 2013 and 2012, and the related consolidated statements of comprehensive loss, cash flows, and stockholders’ equity for each of the years in the three-year period ended March 31, 2013. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of TigerLogic Corporation’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of TigerLogic Corporation and subsidiaries as of March 31, 2013 and 2012, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended March 31, 2013, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

TIGERLOGIC CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

1. Organization

 

TigerLogic Corporation’s (the “Company”) principal business is the design, development, sale, and support of software infrastructure, a social media visualization platform, known as Postano, Internet search enhancement tools, known as yolink, the design and hosting of mobile applications, and the design and development of digital publishing solutions. The Company’s software infrastructure products, including MDMS, and RAD software tools, are sold to in-house corporate development teams, commercial application developers, system integrators, independent software vendors, value added resellers and independent consultants. The Company’s yolink and Postano product lines are targeted to customers ranging from companies to bloggers and individuals active in social media. The Company’s Storycode business designs and hosts mobile applications for publishers and media companies, and designs and develops interactive digital books, magazines and marketing materials for a variety of industries. In addition to computer software products, the Company provides continuing maintenance and customer support and, to a lesser extent, professional services and training.

 

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company are as follows:

 

Principles of Consolidation-The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

 

Revenue Recognition-The Company recognizes revenue using the residual method. Under the residual method, revenue is recognized in a multiple element arrangement when company-specific objective evidence of fair value exists for all of the undelivered elements in the arrangement, but does not exist for one or more of the delivered elements in the arrangement. At the outset of the arrangement with the customer, the Company defers revenue for the fair value of our undelivered elements (e.g., maintenance) based on company-specific objective evidence of the amount at which such items are sold individually to the Company’s customers and recognizes revenue for the remainder of the arrangement fee attributable to the elements initially delivered in the arrangement (e.g., software license) when the basic criteria of revenue recognition has been met.

 

Revenue attributable to an element in a customer arrangement is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists and delivery has occurred, provided the fee is fixed or determinable, collectability is probable and the arrangement does not require significant customization of the software. If, at the outset of the customer arrangement, the Company determines that the arrangement fee is not fixed or determinable, revenue is deferred and recognized when the arrangement fee becomes due and payable. Service revenue relates primarily to consulting services, maintenance and training. Maintenance revenue is initially deferred and then recognized ratably over the term of the maintenance contract, typically 12 months. Consulting and training revenue is recognized as the services are performed and is usually calculated on a time and materials basis. Such services primarily consist of implementation services related to the installation of the Company’s products and do not include significant customization to or development of the underlying software code. The Company does not have price protection programs, conditional acceptance agreements, and product sales are made without right of return. For contracts that require significant modification or customization to the software in accordance with customers’ specifications, revenue is recognized using the completed-contract method. Under this method, revenue and expenses are deferred until customer acceptance of the finished product occurs. During the periods presented, the Company did not have any material arrangements accounted for under the completed-contract method.

 

Cost of License and Service Revenue-Cost of license revenue is comprised of direct costs associated with software license sales including software packaging, documentation, physical media costs, amortization of intangible assets, and royalties. Cost of service revenue includes consulting, technical support, and training, all of which consist primarily of personnel related costs. Other costs specifically identifiable to the revenue source have been classified accordingly.

 

Cash and cash equivalents-Investment securities with a maturity of ninety days or less at the time of purchase are considered cash equivalents.

 

Trade Accounts Receivable-Trade accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. Amounts collected on trade accounts receivable are included in net cash provided by operating activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows. The allowance for doubtful accounts is the Company’s best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in the Company’s existing accounts receivable. The Company determines the allowance based on historical write-off experience. The Company reviews its allowance for doubtful accounts monthly. Past due balances over 60 days and over a specified amount are reviewed individually for collectibility. All other balances are reviewed on a pooled basis.

TIGERLOGIC CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS-(Continued)

 

Account balances are charged off against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote. The Company does not have any off-balance-sheet credit exposure related to its customers.

 

Property, Furniture and Equipment-Property, furniture, and equipment are stated at historical cost. Depreciation and amortization are computed on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which range from two to five years. Leasehold improvements are amortized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the lease term or the estimated useful lives of the assets.

 

Capitalized Software Development Costs-Costs for the development of new software products and substantial enhancements to existing software products are expensed as incurred until technological feasibility has been established, at which time any additional costs would be capitalized until the software is available for general release to customers. The Company does not currently have any internal software development costs capitalized because management believes software is available for general release concurrently with the establishment of technological feasibility.

 

Income Taxes-Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance to an amount whose realization is more likely than not. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

 

The Company recognizes tax benefits from an uncertain tax position when it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including resolutions of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits. Income tax positions must meet a more-likely-than-not recognition threshold at the effective date to be recognized. Developments such as case law, changes in tax law, new rulings or regulations issued by taxing authorities, and interactions with the taxing authorities could affect whether a position should be recognized or the amount that should be reported.

 

Interest and penalties would accrue if the uncertain tax position were not sustained. Interest would start to accrue in the period it would begin accruing under the relevant tax law, and the amount of interest expense to be recognized would be computed by applying the applicable statutory rate of interest to the difference between the tax position recognized and the amount previously taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. Penalties would accrue in the first period in which the position was taken (or is expected to be taken) on a tax return that would give rise to the penalty. Unrecognized tax benefits and the related interest and penalty exposure would result in recognition of a liability or a reduction to a deferred tax asset. This liability is separate from the deferred tax component on the balance sheet and would be classified as long-term unless payment is expected within the next twelve months. Interest and penalties are classified as income tax expense.

 

Stock-Based Compensation-The Company recognizes share-based payments, including grants of stock options and other equity awards in the consolidated financial statements based on their fair values. The Company recognizes compensation expense for share-based awards ratably over the vesting period and purchase period, respectively.

 

Net Loss Per Share-Basic and diluted loss per share is computed using the net loss and the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Potential dilutive common shares include, for all of the periods presented, outstanding stock options and contingently issuable shares. There were 4,612,361, 3,126,177; and 2,534,226 outstanding options to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock and contingently issuable shares as of March 31, 2013, 2012, and 2011, respectively, that were not included in the computation of diluted loss per share because their effect would have been anti-dilutive.

 

Concentration of Credit Risk-The Company supports computer software systems worldwide in diversified industries, primarily through system integrators and value added resellers. On an ongoing basis, the Company performs credit evaluations of its customer’s financial condition and generally requires no collateral. No single customer accounted for more than 10% of revenues during any of the periods presented.

 

Foreign Currency Translation-The local currency is used as the functional currency for purposes of translating the financial statements of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries into the reporting currency. Assets and liabilities of these subsidiaries are translated at the exchange rate in effect at each period end. Income statement accounts are translated at the average rate of exchange prevailing during the year. Translation adjustments arising from the use of differing exchange rates from period to period are included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in stockholders’ equity. Gains and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in other income (expense).Through November of 2009, the British Pound was weakening against the U.S. Dollar, creating a foreign exchange gain for the Company related to a significant intercompany outstanding balance denominated in British Pound. Beginning in December 2009, foreign exchange gains and losses on the outstanding intercompany balance denominated in British Pound are being accumulated in a separate component of equity based on the Company’s determination that the settlement of this intercompany balance is not planned or anticipated in the foreseeable future.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS-(Continued)

 

The Company’s revenues generated through its offices located outside of the United States of America were approximately 28%, 31% and 31% of total revenue for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

 

Comprehensive Loss-Comprehensive loss encompasses all changes in equity other than those with stockholders and consists of net loss and foreign currency translation adjustments. For the subsidiaries located in Germany and United Kingdom, the Company does not provide for U.S. income taxes on foreign currency translation adjustments because it does not provide for such taxes on undistributed earnings of these foreign subsidiaries. For its French subsidiary, the Company provides for U.S. taxes on foreign currency translation adjustments.

 

Use of Estimates-The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Specifically, the application of the purchase method of accounting for business combinations requires the use of significant estimates and assumptions in the determination of the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in order to properly allocate the purchase price consideration between depreciable assets, assumed liabilities, intangibles, and goodwill. Our estimates of the fair values of assets and liabilities acquired are based upon assumptions that we believe to be reasonable and include assistance from independent third-party appraisal firms. When equity instruments are issued as part of the purchase price consideration, we measure them at fair value as of the date of the acquisition. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Impairment of Goodwill and Other Long-Lived Assets-Long-lived assets, such as property, plant, and equipment, and purchased intangible assets subject to amortization, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.

 

Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized in the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. Assets to be disposed of would be separately presented in the balance sheet and reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell, and are no longer depreciated. The assets and liabilities of a disposal group classified as held for sale would be presented separately in the appropriate asset and liability sections of the balance sheet.

 

Goodwill and intangible assets that have indefinite useful lives are tested annually for impairment and are tested for impairment more frequently if events and circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired. An impairment loss is recognized to the extent that the carrying amount exceeds the asset’s fair value. For goodwill, the impairment determination is made at the reporting unit level and consists of two steps. First, the Company determines the fair value of a reporting unit and compares it to its carrying amount. Second, if the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss is recognized for any excess of the carrying amount of the reporting unit’s goodwill over the implied fair value of that goodwill. The implied fair value of goodwill is determined by allocating the fair value of the reporting unit in a manner similar to a purchase price allocation. The residual fair value after this allocation is the implied fair value of the reporting unit goodwill.

 

3. Business Acquisition

 

On January 17, 2013, the Company completed its acquisition of Storycode, Inc, a privately held mobile application publishing company. The acquisition was structured as a non-taxable transaction. Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated December 27, 2012, as amended (the “Merger Agreement”), Storycode became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company as of January 17, 2013.  We have been incorporating Storycode’s expertise in mobile application development, user experience, and design into our Postano social media visualization platform to create a new kind of social platform with unique mobile distribution capabilities and allow brands to use original and fan-generated content to develop engaging experiences across the worldwide web, live events, and mobile environment.

 

In accordance with the Merger Agreement, the Company issued an aggregate of 1,696,329 shares of its common stock with a fair value of approximately $3.3 million and may issue an additional 444,468 shares with a fair value as of the acquisition closing date of approximately $861,000, subject to an 18-month holdback for general indemnification purposes pursuant to the Merger Agreement, which holdback share number may be adjusted from time to time. The Company also substituted 822,320 options to purchase its common stock for options to purchase Storycode’s common stock of which value of approximately $949,000 was allocated to the purchase price as of the acquisition closing date. In addition, the Company made cash payments aggregating

approximately $499,000. Total consideration to acquire Storycode was approximately $5.6 million and comprised of the following (in thousands):

The fair value of shares issued and issuable is based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the acquisition closing date of $2.28 per share. However, all of the shares issued or issuable are subject to a one-year lock up agreement that resulted in an adjustment to the estimated fair value of the common stock to $1.94 per share.  Cash consideration includes a bridge loan from the Company to Storycode made during the quarter ended December 31, 2012 as well as legal and accounting fees incurred by Storycode and reimbursed by the Company. The Company expects to incur approximately $470,000 in direct transaction costs, of which approximately $288,000 were incurred and paid during the quarter ended March 31, 2013 and the balance of these costs is expected to be incurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2013.

 

In connection with the acquisition, each Storycode stock option that was outstanding and unexercised as of the acquisition date was assumed and converted into an option to purchase TigerLogic common stock based on a conversion ratio of 0.43085. Based on Storycode’s stock options outstanding at January 17, 2013, the Company converted options to purchase 1,908,583 shares of Storycode common stock into options to purchase 822,320 shares of TigerLogic common stock. The estimated value of the assumed stock options included in the purchase price equals the fair value of the fully vested stock options assumed plus the fair value of the portion of the partially vested stock options assumed attributable to pre-combination services.

 

The portion of the estimated fair value of the partially vested replacement stock options that was considered unearned compensation as of the date of acquisition was approximately $393,000, which will be recognized as stock-based compensation expense on a straight line basis over the remaining vesting periods of the respective awards.

 

The fair value of the stock options was estimated using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions:

Purchase Price Allocation

 

The total purchase price was allocated to Storycode’s net tangible and intangible assets based upon their estimated fair values as of the acquisition date. The excess purchase price over the value of the net tangible liabilities and indentifiable intangible assets was recorded as goodwill. The table below represents the allocation of the purchase price to the acquired net assets of Storycode based on their estimated fair values as of the acquisition date and the associated estimated useful lives at that date.

Identifiable intangible assets-Trade and domain names acquired primarily includes the Storycode brand name. Existing technology acquired primarily includes content management and publishing platform for mobile applications. The estimated fair value and useful lives of the trade and domain names and existing technology acquired was determined based the relief-from-royalty method, with key assumptions including: 1) forecasted revenue estimates for the trade and domain names were based on Storycode’s legacy business line revenue; 2) a royalty rate of 1.0%; and 3) a discount rate of 20.0%. The Company expects to amortize the fair value of these intangible assets on a straight-line basis over their respective estimated useful lives.

 

Goodwill-Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the underlying acquired net tangible and intangible assets. The factors that contributed to the recognition of goodwill included securing certain synergies with existing technology of the Company that expect to increase revenue and profits of the Company, acquiring talented workforce, and cost savings opportunities.

 

Net tangible liabilities-Storycode’s tangible assets and liabilities as of January 17, 2013 were reviewed and adjusted to their fair value as necessary. Net tangible liabilities assumed included approximately $300,000 in accounts payable, $178,000 in other liabilities, $9,000 in cash, and $184,000 in accounts receivable.

 

Taxes-As part of the Company’s accounting for the acquisition of Storycode, a portion of the overall purchase price was allocated to goodwill and acquired intangible assets. Amortization expense associated with acquired intangible assets is not deductible for tax purposes. Approximately $0.6 million of net deferred tax assets was established as a result of the acquisition, which was offset by a full valuation allowance. Any impairment charge made in the future associated with goodwill will not be tax deductible and will result in an increased effective income tax rate in the quarter the impairment is recorded.

 

Pro Forma Results

 

Storycode’s results of operations are included in the Company’s historical results of operations for fiscal 2013 from the acquisition date of January 17, 2013 through March 31, 2013 and were not significant.

7. Stockholder’s Equity

 

Series A Convertible Preferred Stock

 

The Company had 5,000,000 shares of Series A convertible preferred stock (“Series A”) authorized and no shares of Series A issued and outstanding at March 31, 2013 and 2012.

 

Common Stock

 

The Company had 100,000,000 shares of common stock authorized and 29,931,248 and 28,183,469 shares of common stock issued and outstanding as of March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

 

Stock Options

 

On February 25, 2009, the shareholders voted to approve and the Company adopted the 2009 Equity Incentive Plan (“2009 Plan”). The 2009 Plan provides for the granting of stock options, restricted stock, and restricted stock units to directors, employees and consultants. In conjunction with the adoption of the 2009 Plan, the Company terminated all other plans, except as to options then issued and outstanding under such plans. The total number of shares available for issuance under the 2009 Plan at adoption date is based on the number of shares that have been reserved but not issued under the 1999 Stock Plan (“1999 Plan”), the shares under the 1999 Plan which expired, were cancelled or were forfeited, and the annual share reserve increase. Included in the 2009 Plan is the provision for the annual automatic share reserve increase on the last day of each fiscal year in an amount equal to the lesser of (a) 3% of the Company’s total outstanding shares on the last day of the Company’s fiscal year, (b) 2,000,000, or (c) such lesser amount as determined in the sole and absolute discretion of the Board. The annual increase for the year ended March 31, 2013 was 897,937 shares. At March 31, 2013, total number of shares available for issuance under the 2009 Plan was 3,773,631 shares. Stock options are generally granted with an exercise price equal to the stock’s fair market value at the date of grant. All options under the 2009 Plan have ten-year terms and generally vest ratably over a period of four years.

 

Employee Stock Purchase Plan

 

On December 12, 2001, the Board of Directors approved the Company’s 2001 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”) to provide employees of the Company with an opportunity to purchase common stock of the Company through accumulated payroll deductions. The maximum number of shares of common stock made available for sale under the ESPP is 1,000,000 shares. The offer periods of six months’ duration commence each February 15 and August 15. An employee may contribute between 1% and 10% of their compensation, not to exceed $21,250 per calendar year. Individual employee share purchases are limited to 1,500 shares per offer period. Employees are able to purchase the stock at an amount equal to 85% of the market value of a share of common stock on the enrollment date or on the exercise date, whichever is lower. In February 2012, the stockholders approved an amendment to the Company’s 2001 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“2001 Plan”), which otherwise was scheduled to expire by its own terms. The main changes in the Company’s 2011 Amended and Restated Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“Stock Purchase Plan”) are: (i) to eliminate the ten-year term limit; (ii) to amend the definition of compensation used under the Stock Purchase Plan to include deferrals made under qualified transportation benefit programs; and (iii) to increase the hours per week that an otherwise eligible employee must work in order to be able to participate in the Stock Purchase Plan from more than ten (10) to more than twenty (20). In addition, the Stock Purchase Plan clarifies certain provisions of the 2001 Plan and amends various technical provisions in order to comply with applicable laws. The total number of shares of the Company’s common stock reserved for issuance and available for purchase under the Stock Purchase Plan was not increased from the 2001 Plan and remained at 1,000,000 (less shares already issued under the 2001 Plan).

 

Through March 31, 2013, 697,730 shares had been issued to employees under the ESPP. For the year ended March 31, 2013, 33,680 shares of common stock were issued under the ESPP. As of March 31, 2013, employee withholdings under the ESPP aggregated $10,056.

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

The Company estimates the fair value of employee stock options granted and ESPP purchase rights using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model and a single option award approach. Under this approach, the compensation expense for awards that have a graded vesting schedule is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, net of estimated forfeitures. When estimating forfeitures, the Company considers voluntary termination behavior as well as analysis of actual option forfeitures.

 

The Company estimated the fair value of its stock options and ESPP purchase rights using the following weighted average assumptions:

Expected Term-The expected term represents the period the Company’s stock-based awards are expected to be outstanding and was determined based on historical experience with similar awards, giving consideration to the contractual terms of the stock-based awards, vesting schedules and expectations of future employee behavior as influenced by changes to the terms of its stock-based awards. The weighted average expected term is calculated based on the number of shares granted and the related expected term.

 

Expected Volatility-The computation of expected volatility is based on historical volatility equal to the expected term.

 

Risk-Free Interest Rate-The risk-free interest rate used in the Black-Scholes valuation method is based on the yield available on U.S. Treasury securities with a term equal to the expected term at the time of grant.

 

Dividend Yield-No dividends are expected to be paid.

The aggregate intrinsic value in the table above represents the difference between the exercise price of the underlying awards and the quoted price of our common stock for the options that were in-the-money at each year end presented. The aggregate intrinsic value of options exercised under the 1999 and 2009 Plan was approximately $24,000, $67,790, and $243,330 for the years ended March 31, 2013, 2012, and 2011, respectively, determined as of the date of option exercise. Weighted-average grant-date fair values of the options granted during the years ended March 31, 2013, 2012, and 2011 were $1.30, $1.98, and $2.98, respectively.

 

Retirement Plans

 

The Company sponsors a 401(k) Savings and Retirement Plan (“the Plan”) for substantially all of its employees in the United States. Employees meeting the eligibility requirements may contribute specified percentages of their salaries. The Company’s Board of Directors, in its sole discretion, may make discretionary profit-sharing contributions at 50% of the employees’ contributions up to 4% of the employees’ total compensation, to the Plan. There were no discretionary annual contributions made to the Plan for the years ended March 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011.

 

The Company sponsors the Raining Data UK Limited Retirement Benefits Scheme (“RDUKL Plan”) for substantially all of its employees in the United Kingdom. The RDUKL Plan is a defined contribution plan that provides retirement benefits upon attaining normal retirement age, and incidental benefits in the case of death or termination of employment prior to retirement. Raining Data UK contributes an amount ranging from 3% to 8% of each participant’s compensation to fund such benefits. In addition, participants are entitled to make voluntary contributions under the RDUKL Plan. The Company contributed approximately $41,000, $34,000 and $39,000 to the RDUKL Plan for the years ended March 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

 

8. Related Party Transactions

 

The Company entered into an expense reimbursement agreement with Astoria Capital Partners, L.P. (“Astoria”), its largest stockholder, in connection with Richard Koe’s appointment as Interim President and Chief Executive Officer, pursuant to which the Company agreed to reimburse Astoria for a portion of overhead costs and expenses related to the use by Mr. Koe of Astoria’s premises and office equipment while performing his employment duties for the Company. The agreement terminates 90 days after Mr. Koe is either no longer employed by the Company or is no longer performing services for the

Company from Astoria’s premises. Mr. Koe also serves as President of Astoria. Since the start of the agreement on April 1, 2009, the Company reimbursed Astoria approximately $7,100 per month. Effective April 1, 2011, the Company entered into a new office lease in Portland, Oregon, and as a result, the expense reimbursement agreement with Astoria terminated on June 30, 2011.

Recognition of deferred tax assets is appropriate when realization of these assets is more likely than not. Based upon the weight of available evidence, including the Company’s historical operating performance and the recorded cumulative net losses in prior fiscal periods, the Company has provided a full valuation allowance against its U.S. and United Kingdom deferred tax assets. The Company’s valuation allowance decreased by $1.2 million, $1.0 million, and $1.2 million in the years ended March 31, 2013, 2012, and 2011, respectively.

 

The Company  recognizes excess income tax benefits from stock option exercises in the additional paid in capital account in stockholders’ equity only if an incremental income tax benefit would be realized after considering all other tax attributes presently available to the Company. There was no such excess income tax benefits recognized for the years ended March 31, 2013, 2012, or 2011.

 

As of March 31, 2013, the Company had U.S. federal, state, and foreign net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $44.2 million, $12.8 million, and $4.2 million, respectively. Of these amounts, $2.3 million and $1.3 million represent federal and state tax deductions in excess of recognized stock option compensation, respectively, which will be recorded as an adjustment to additional paid-in capital when they reduce taxes payable. If unused, the federal net operating loss carryforwards will begin to expire in 2019, the state net operating loss carryforwards will begin to expire in 2016. Foreign net operating losses may be carried forward indefinitely. Approximately $1.4 million and $1.4 million of the federal and state net operating loss carryforwards, respectively, are subject to an annual limitation of approximately $0.2 million per year.

 

As of March 31, 2013, the Company had U.S. federal and state tax credit carryforwards of approximately $3.2 million and $3.4 million, respectively. The federal credit will expire beginning in 2019, if not utilized. California state research and development credits can be carried forward indefinitely. With respect to the Company’s foreign subsidiaries in the UK and Germany, the Company intends to permanently reinvest earnings, therefore, no U.S. income or foreign tax withholding has been provided for in deferred income taxes. With respect to the Company’s foreign subsidiary in France, it is treated as a branch for US income tax purposes, which results in its earnings being taxed in the U.S. There is no unrecognized deferred tax liability related to undistributed earnings due to cumulative losses sustained by these foreign subsidiaries.

 

As of March 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company did not have any gross unrecognized tax benefit.  While it is often difficult to predict the final outcome of any particular uncertain tax position, management does not believe that it is reasonably possible that the estimates of unrecognized tax benefits will change significantly in the next twelve months.

The Company files consolidated and separate income tax return in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and in certain state jurisdictions as well as foreign jurisdictions including France, Germany, and the United Kingdom. The Company is subject to income tax examinations for fiscal years after 2009 for France, fiscal years after 2008 for Germany, and fiscal years after 2006 for the United Kingdom. As a result of net operating loss carryforwards, the Company is subject to audit for fiscal years 1999 and forward for federal purposes and 2001 and forward for California purposes.

 

Recently enacted tax laws may also affect the tax provision on the company’s financial statements. On February 20, 2009, the State of California passed a new law to allow taxpayers to make an election to adopt a single sales factor apportionment formula starting with the 2011 taxable year. As of March 31, 2013, the Company has not considered changing its sales factor apportionment in California. However, California Proposition 30 passed in November 2012, requiring mandatory single sales factor apportionment for tax years beginning on or after January 1, 2013. Therefore, the Company will be required to use single sales factor apportionment for California purposes for the tax year ending March 31, 2014, resulting in potential adjustment to the blended state rate used to calculate the tax effect on its deferred tax assets and liabilities. Management of the Company believes that any related change to the blended state rate will not have a material impact to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

During the year ended March 31, 2012, the German tax authorities closed a tax audit of the Company’s subsidiary in Germany for the fiscal years 2005 to 2007, which resulted in a net tax expense of approximately $82,000.

 

10. Commitments and Contingencies

 

Leases

 

The Company leases office space and certain equipment under noncancelable operating lease agreements with terms expiring through 2017. Rent expense related to operating these leases is recognized ratably over the entire lease term. The Company is required to pay property taxes, insurance and normal maintenance costs.

 

Future minimum lease payments under noncancelable operating leases with initial or remaining lease terms in excess of one year as of March 31, 2013 are as follows (in thousands):

Indemnification

 

The Company’s standard customer license and software agreements contain indemnification and warranty provisions which are generally consistent with practice in the Company’s industry. The duration of the Company’s service warranties generally does not exceed 30 days following completion of its services. The Company has not incurred significant obligations under customer indemnification or warranty provisions historically and does not expect to incur significant obligations in the future. Accordingly, the Company does not maintain accruals for potential customer indemnification or warranty-related obligations. The maximum potential amount of future payments that the Company could be required to make is generally limited under the indemnification provisions in its customer license and service agreements. The Company has entered into the standard form of indemnification agreement with each of its directors and executives.

 

11. Segment Information
