OVERVIEW
Crexendo, Inc. is a
next-generation CLEC and an award-winning leader and provider of
unified communications cloud telecom services, broadband Internet
services, and other cloud business services that are designed to
provide enterprise-class cloud services to any size business at
affordable monthly rates. The Company has two operating segments,
which consist of Cloud Telecommunications and Web
Services.
Cloud Telecommunications - Our cloud
telecommunications services transmit calls using IP or cloud
technology, which converts voice signals into digital data packets
for transmission over the Internet or cloud. Each of our calling
plans provides a number of basic features typically offered by
traditional telephone service providers, plus a wide range of
enhanced features that we believe offer an attractive value
proposition to our customers. This platform enables a user, via a
single “identity” or telephone number, to access and
utilize services and features regardless of how the user is
connected to the Internet or cloud, whether it’s from a
desktop device or a mobile device.
We
generate recurring revenue from our cloud telecommunications and
broadband Internet services. Our cloud telecommunications contracts
typically have a thirty-six to sixty month term. We generate
product revenue and equipment financing revenue from the sale and
lease of our cloud telecommunications equipment. Revenues from the
sale of equipment, including those from sales-type leases, are
recognized at the time of sale or at the inception of the lease, as
appropriate.
Web Services - We generate recurring
revenue from website hosting and other professional
services.

TECHNOLOGY
We
believe our proprietary implementation of standard Web, IP, Cloud,
Mobile and Internet technologies represent a key component of our
business model. We believe these technologies and how we deliver
them to our customers distinguish our services and products from
the services and products offered by our competitors. Our
technology infrastructure and virtual network operation center, all
of which is built and managed on industry standard computers,
storage, network, data and platforms offers us greater efficiencies
while maintaining scalability and redundancy. The synergies between
Web and Telecommunication protocols such as TCP/IP, HTTP, XML, SIP
and innovations in computing, load balancing, redundancy and high
availability of Web and Telecommunications technologies offers us a
unique advantage in delivering these services to our customers
seamlessly from our data center.
Our
Cloud Telecommunications technology is continuously being enhanced
with additional features and software functionality. Our current
functionality includes:
●
High-end desktop
telephony devices such as Gigabit, PoE, 6 Line Color Phone with 10
programmable buttons and lower end Monochrome 2 Line wall mountable
device;
●
Basic Business

branch exchange (“PBX”) systems like extension dialing,
Direct Inward Dialing (DID), Hold/Resume, Music-On-Hold, Call
Transfer (Attended and Unattended), Conferencing, Local, Long
Distance, Toll-Free and International Dialing, Voicemail,
Auto-Attendant and traditional faxing;
●
Advanced telephony
features such as Call Park, Call Pickup, Paging (through the
phones), Overhead paging, Call Recording;
●

Status based Routing (Find-Me-Follow-Me), 10-party instant
conference, and Mobile application (CrexMo);
●
Crexendo Mobile

extension calls using Crexendo’s network, transfer and
conference other users right from their mobile device as if they
were in the office. It also provided users instant access to visual
voicemail and call logs;
●
End User Portal and
Unified Messaging with Voicemail, Call Recording and eFax
inbox.
●
Collaboration
products like group chat, SMS/MMS, document sharing, video and web
conferencing
Our
website software platform is continuously being enhanced and is an
innovative website-building environment. We continue to invest and
develop on our Web platform to make it more easy-to-use, enable
larger mobile and 3rd party integration features thus enabling our
web customers to drive more traffic to their
web-sites.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
We
invested $801,000 and $750,000 for the years ended December 31,
2018 and 2017, respectively, in the research and development of our
technologies and data center. The majority of these expenditures
were for enhancements to our cloud telecommunications products and
services and website development software.
COMPETITION
The
market for cloud business communications services is large and
increasingly competitive. We expect competition to continue to
increase in the future. Some of these competitors
include:
●
traditional
on-premise, hardware business communications providers such as
Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise, Avaya Inc., Cisco Systems, Inc., Mitel,
and Siemens Enterprise Networks, LLC, any of which may now or in
the future also host their solutions through the
cloud;
●
software providers
such as Microsoft Corporation (Microsoft Teams (formerly Skype for
Business)) and BroadSoft, Inc. (acquired by Cisco Systems, Inc.)
that generally license their software and may now or in the future
also host their solutions through the cloud, and their resellers
including major carriers and cable companies;
●
established
communications providers that resell on-premise hardware, software,
and hosted solutions, such as AT&T, Verizon Communications
Inc., and Comcast Corporation in the United States, TELUS and
others in Canada, and BT, Vodafone, and others in the U.K., all of
whom have significantly greater resources than us and do now or may
in the future also develop and/or host their own or other solutions
through the cloud;
●
other cloud
companies such as 8x8, Inc., RingCentral, Inc., Amazon.com, Inc.,
DialPad, Inc., Fusion, Fuze (formerly Thinking Phone Networks),
StarBlue (merger of Star2Star and BlueFace), Intermedia.net, Inc.,
J2 Global, Inc., Jive Communications, Inc. (acquired by LogMeIn,
Inc.), Microsoft Corporation (Microsoft Teams (formerly Skype for
Business)), Mitel, Nextiva, Inc., Slack Technologies, Inc., Vonage
Holdings Corp., and West Corporation;
●
other large
internet companies such as Alphabet Inc., Facebook, Inc., Oracle
Corporation, and Salesforce.com, Inc., any of which might launch
its own cloud-based business communication services or acquire
other cloud-based business communications companies in the future;
and
●
established contact
center providers such as Amazon.com, Inc., Aspect Software, Inc.,
Avaya Inc., Five9, Inc., Genesys Telecommunications Laboratories,
Inc., and NewVoiceMedia.
Additionally,
should we determine to pursue acquisition opportunities, we may
compete with other companies with similar growth strategies. Some
of these competitors may be larger and have greater financial
resources than we do. Competition for these acquisition targets
could also result in increased prices of acquisition targets and a
diminished pool of companies available for
acquisition.
There
are relatively low barriers to entry into our business. Our
proprietary technology does not preclude or inhibit competitors
from entering our markets. In particular, we anticipate new
entrants will attempt to develop competing products and services or
new forums for conducting e-commerce and telecommunications
services which could be deemed competition. Additionally, if
telecommunications service providers with more resources and name
recognition were to enter our markets, they may redefine our
industry and make it difficult for us to compete.
Expected technology
advances associated with the Cloud, increasing use of the Cloud,
and new software products are welcome advancements that we believe
will broaden the Cloud’s viability. We anticipate that we can
compete successfully by relying on our infrastructure, marketing
strategies and techniques, systems and procedures, and by adding
additional products and services in the future. We believe we can
continue the operation of our business by periodic review and
revision to our product offerings and marketing
approach.
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
Our
success depends in part on using and protecting our proprietary
technology and other intellectual property. Furthermore, we must
conduct our operations without infringing on the proprietary rights
of third parties. We also rely upon trade secrets and the know-how
and expertise of our key employees. To protect our proprietary
technology and other intellectual property, we rely on a
combination of the protections provided by applicable copyright,
trademark and trade secret laws, as well as confidentiality
procedures and licensing arrangements. Although we believe we have
taken appropriate steps to protect our intellectual property
rights, including requiring employees and third parties who are
granted access to our intellectual property to enter into
confidentiality agreements, these measures may not be sufficient to
protect our rights against third parties. Others may independently
develop or otherwise acquire unpatented technologies or products
similar or superior to ours.
We
license from third parties certain software and Internet tools
which we include in our services and products. If any of these
licenses were terminated, we could be required to seek licenses for
similar software and Internet tools from other third parties or
develop these tools internally. We may not be able to obtain such
licenses or develop such tools in a timely fashion, on acceptable
terms, or at all.
Companies
participating in the software, Internet technology, and
telecommunication industries are frequently involved in disputes
relating to intellectual property. We may be required to defend our
intellectual property rights against infringement, duplication,
discovery and misappropriation by third parties or to defend
against third-party claims of infringement. Likewise, disputes may
arise in the future with respect to ownership of technology
developed by employees who were previously employed by other
companies. Any such litigation or disputes could be costly and
divert our attention from our business. An adverse determination
could subject us to significant liabilities to third parties,
require us to seek licenses from, or pay royalties to, third
parties, or require us to develop appropriate alternative
technology. Some or all of these licenses may not be available to
us on acceptable terms, or at all. In addition, we may be unable to
develop alternate technology at an acceptable price, or at all. Any
of these events could have a material adverse effect on our
business prospects, financial position, or results of
operations.
EMPLOYEES
As of
December 31, 2018, we had 56 employees; 54 full-time and 2
part-time, including 3 executives, 16 sales representatives and
sales management, 9 engineers and IT support, 20 in operations and
customer support, 8 in accounting, finance, and legal.
CORPORATE
INFORMATION
Crexendo, Inc. was
incorporated as a Nevada corporation under the name
“Netgateway, Inc.” on April 13, 1995. In
November 1999, we were reincorporated under the laws of
Delaware. In July 2002, we changed our corporate name to
“iMergent, Inc.” In May 2011, our stockholders approved
an amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation to change our name
from "iMergent, Inc." to "Crexendo, Inc." The name change was
effective May 18, 2011. Our ticker symbol "IIG" on the New York
Stock Exchange was changed to “EXE” on May 18, 2011. We
changed the name to better reflect the scope and direction of our
business activities of assisting and providing web-based technology
solutions to any size business who are seeking to take advantage of
the benefits of conducting business on the cloud. On January 13,
2015, the Company moved to the OTCQX Marketplace and our ticker
symbol was changed to “CXDO”. In November 2016, we were
reincorporated as a Nevada corporation.
We are
headquartered at 1615 South 52nd Street, Tempe, AZ,
85281, and our telephone number is (602) 714-8500. Our website is
www.crexendo.com. Our website and the information contained therein
or connected thereto shall not be deemed to be incorporated into
this Annual Report.
We make
available free of charge on or through our Internet website our
annual reports on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q,
current reports on Form 8-K and all amendments to those reports as
soon as reasonably practicable after such material is
electronically filed with or furnished to the Securities Exchange
and Commission (“SEC”).
You may
read and copy this Annual Report at the SEC’s public
reference room at 450 Fifth Street, NW, Washington D.C. 20549.
Information on the operation of the public reference room can be
obtained by calling the SEC at 1-800-SEC-0330. The SEC maintains an
Internet site that contains reports, proxy and information
statements and other information regarding our filings at
www.sec.gov.
GOVERNMENTAL REGULATION
As a
provider of Internet communications services, we are subject to
regulation in the U.S. by the FCC. Some of these regulatory
obligations include contributing to the Federal Universal Service
Fund, Telecommunications Relay Service Fund and federal programs
related to number administration; providing access to E-911
services; protecting customer information; and porting phone
numbers upon a valid customer request. We are also required to pay
state and local 911 fees and contribute to state universal service
funds in those states that assess Internet voice communications
services. We are a competitive local exchange carrier (CLEC) in
forty-seven states. We are subject to the same FCC regulations
applicable to telecommunications companies, as well as regulation
by the public utility commission in these states. Specific
regulations vary on a state-by-state basis, but generally include
the requirement to register or seek certification to provide its
services, to file and update tariffs setting forth the terms,
conditions and prices for our intrastate services and to comply
with various reporting, record-keeping, surcharge collection, and
consumer protection requirements.
We are
subject to regulations generally applicable to all businesses. We
are also subject to an increasing number of laws and regulations
directly applicable to telecommunication, internet access and
commerce. The adoption of any such additional laws or regulations
may decrease the rate of growth of the Internet, which could in
turn decrease the demand for our products and services. Such laws
may also increase our costs of doing business or otherwise have an
adverse effect on our business prospects, financial position or
results of operations. Moreover, the applicability to the Internet
of existing laws governing issues such as property ownership,
libel, and personal privacy is uncertain. Future federal or state
legislation or regulation could have a material adverse effect on
our business prospects, financial condition and results of
operations.
Our quarterly and annual results of operations have fluctuated in
the past and may continue to do so in the future. As a result, we
may fail to meet or to exceed the expectations of research analysts
or investors, which could cause our stock price to
fluctuate.
Our
quarterly and annual results of operations have varied historically
from period to period, and we expect that they will continue to
fluctuate due to a variety of factors, some of which are outside of
our control, including:
●
our ability to
retain existing customers and resellers, expand our existing
customers’ user base, and attract new customers;
●
our
ability to introduce new solutions;
●
the
actions of our competitors, including pricing changes or the
introduction of new solutions;
●
our
ability to effectively manage our growth;
●
our
ability to successfully penetrate the market for larger
businesses;
●
the mix
of annual and multi-year subscriptions at any given
time;
●
the
timing, cost, and effectiveness of our advertising and marketing
efforts;
●
the timing,
operating cost, and capital expenditures related to the operation,
maintenance and expansion of our business;
●
service
outages or information security breaches and any related impact on
our reputation;
●
our
ability to accurately forecast revenues and appropriately plan our
expenses;
●
our
ability to realize our deferred tax assets;
●
costs
associated with defending and resolving intellectual property
infringement and other claims;
●
changes
in tax laws, regulations, or accounting rules;
●
the timing and cost
of developing or acquiring technologies, services or businesses,
and our ability to successfully manage any such
acquisitions;
●
adverse weather
conditions;
●
the impact of
worldwide economic, political, industry, and market conditions;
and,
●
our ability to
maintain compliance with all regulatory requirements.
Any one
of the factors above, or the cumulative effect of some or all of
the factors referred to above, may result in significant
fluctuations in our quarterly and annual results of operations.
This variability and unpredictability could result in our failure
to meet the expectations of securities analysts or investors for
any period, which could cause our stock price to decline. In
addition, a significant percentage of our operating expenses is
fixed in nature and is based on forecasted revenues trends.
Accordingly, in the event of revenue shortfalls, we may not be able
to mitigate the negative impact on net income (loss) and margins in
the short term. If we fail to meet or exceed the expectations of
research analysts or investors, the market price of our shares
could fall substantially, and we could face costly lawsuits,
including securities class-action suits.
We have incurred operating losses in current and prior
periods.
We
sustained operating losses in the
current and prior years. Our ability to obtain positive cash flows
from operating activities will depend on many factors including,
but not limited to, our ability to (i) improve sales and marketing
efficiencies, (ii) reduce costs, (iii) reach more highly qualified
prospects, and (iv) achieve operational improvements. We have
incurred operating losses in each of the three prior years and may
incur operating losses in the foreseeable future. Continued losses
could cause a determination that a “going concern
option” should be applied to us.
Fluctuations in our operating results may affect our stock price
and ability to raise capital.
Our
operating results for any given quarter or fiscal year should not
be relied upon as an indication of future performance. Our future
results will fluctuate, and those results may fall below the
expectations of investors and may cause the trading price of our
common stock to fall. This may impair our ability to raise capital,
should we seek to do so. Our quarterly results may fluctuate based
on, including but not limited to our sales results, marketing,
management, our ability to compete, pricing, and other risk factors
contained in this section.
Our Chief Executive Officer owns a significant amount of our common
stock and could exercise substantial corporate control. There may
be limited ability to sell the company absent the consent of the
CEO.
Steven
G. Mihaylo, Chief Executive Officer
(“CEO”) of Crexendo, Inc., owns 70% of the outstanding
shares of our common stock based on the number of shares
outstanding as of December 31, 2018. As a result, Mr. Mihaylo would
have the ability to determine the outcome of matters submitted to
our stockholders for approval, including the election of directors
and any merger, amalgamation, consolidation or sale of all or
substantially all of our assets. Mr. Mihaylo may have the ability
to control the management and affairs of our Company. As a
“control company” it may not be required that the
company maintains an independent board. As a director and officer,
Mr. Mihaylo owes a fiduciary duty to our stockholders. As a
stockholder, Mr. Mihaylo is entitled to vote his shares, in
his own interests, which may not always be in the interests of our
stockholders generally. Accordingly, even though certain
transactions may be in the best interests of other stockholders,
this concentration of ownership may harm the market price of our
common stock by, among other things, delaying, deferring or
preventing a change in control of our Company, impeding a merger,
amalgamation, consolidation, takeover or other business combination
involving our Company, or discouraging a potential acquirer from
making a tender offer or otherwise attempting to obtain control of
our Company.
In
addition, sales or other dispositions of our shares by Mr. Mihaylo
may depress our stock price. Sales of a significant number of
shares of our common stock in the public market could harm the
market price of our common stock. As additional shares of our
common stock become available for resale in the public market, the
supply of our common stock will increase, which could result in a
decrease in the market price of our common stock.
Some of the provisions of our certificate of
incorporation and bylaws could make it more difficult for a third
party to acquire us, even if doing so might be beneficial to our
stockholders by providing them with the opportunity to sell their
shares at a premium to the then market price. Our bylaws contain
provisions regulating the introduction of business at annual
stockholders’ meetings by anyone other than the board of
directors. These provisions may have the effect of making it more
difficult, delaying, discouraging, preventing or rendering
costlier an acquisition or a change in control of our
Company.
Our securities have been thinly traded. An active trading market in
our equity securities may cease to exist, which would adversely
affect the market price and liquidity of our common stock, in
addition our stock price has been subject to fluctuating
prices.
Our
common stock is traded exclusively in
the over-the-counter market. We cannot predict the actions of
market makers, investors or other market participants, and can
offer no assurances that the market for our securities will be
stable. If there is no active trading market in our equity
securities, the market price and liquidity of the securities will
be adversely affected. The
market price of our common stock could decline as a result of sales
of a large number of shares of our common stock in the market or
the perception that these sales could occur. These sales also might
make it more difficult for us to sell equity securities in the
future at a time and at a price that we deem appropriate. As of
February 28, 2019, we had outstanding 14,394,113 shares of common
stock.
Additional dilution will result if outstanding
options to acquire shares of our common stock are exercised. In
addition, in the event future financings are required they could be
convertible into or exchangeable for our equity securities,
investors may experience additional dilution.
Lack of sufficient stockholder equity or continued losses from
operations could subject us to fail to comply with the listing
requirements of the OTCQX, if that occurred, the price of our
common stock and our ability to access the capital markets could be
negatively impacted, and our business will be harmed. We currently
do not meet the minimum listing requirement for the NYSE or
NASDAQ.
Our
common stock is currently listed on
OTCQX. We have had annual losses from continuing operations for the
last five years with the possibility of continued losses. While at
current such losses would not impact our listing with OTCQX
requirement may change from time to time and it is possible we may
not remain in compliance with the minimum condition of OTCQX
listing standards. Delisting from the OTCQX could negatively affect
the trading price of our stock and could also have other negative
results, including the potential loss of confidence by suppliers
and employees, the failure to attract the interest of institutional
investors, and fewer business development opportunities. At present
we do not meet the minimum listing requirements for the New York
Stock Exchange (NYSE) or the NASDAQ Stock Exchange (NASDAQ) which
may make raising capital, issuing additional securities or using
the securities of the Company to effect acquisitions or merger more
difficult or expensive.
We may undertake acquisitions, mergers or change to our capital
structure to expand our business, which may pose risks to our
business and dilute the ownership of our existing
stockholders.
As part of a potential growth strategy, we may
attempt to acquire or merge with certain businesses. Whether we
realize benefits from any such transactions will depend in part
upon the integration of the acquired businesses; the performance of
the acquired products, services and capacities of the technologies
acquired, as well as the personnel hired in connection therewith.
Accordingly, our results of operations could be adversely affected
from transaction-related charges, amortization of intangible
assets, and charges for impairment of long-term assets. While we
believe that we have established appropriate and adequate
procedures and processes to mitigate these risks, there can
be no assurance that any potential transaction will be
successful.
In
addition, the financing of any
acquisition may require us to raise additional funds through public
or private sources. Additional funds may not be available on terms
that are favorable to us and, in the case of equity financings, may
result in dilution to our stockholders. Future acquisitions by us
could also result in large and immediate write-offs or assumptions
of debt and contingent liabilities, any of which may have a
material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position,
results of operations, and cash flows.
Our ability to use our net
operating loss carry-forwards may be reduced in the event of an
ownership change, and could adversely affect our financial
results.
As of
December 31, 2018, we had net operating loss (“NOL”)
carry-forwards of approximately $22,722,000, of which $5,761,000 is
subject to Section 382 limitations. Section 382 of the
Internal Revenue Code, as amended (the “Code”) imposes
limitations on a corporation’s ability to utilize its NOL
carry-forwards. In general terms, an ownership change results from
transactions increasing the ownership of certain stockholders in
the stock of a corporation by more than 50% over a three-year
period. Since our formation, we have issued a significant number of
shares, and purchasers of those shares have sold some of them,
resulting in two ownership changes, as defined by Code
Section 382. As a result of the last ownership change,
utilization of our NOL is subject to an annual limitation
determined by multiplying the value of our stock at the time of the
ownership change by the applicable federal long-term tax-exempt
rate. The annual limitation is approximately $461,000. Any limited
amounts may be carried over into later years, and the amount of the
limitation may, under certain circumstances, be increased by the
“recognized built-in gains” that occur during the
five-year period after the ownership change (the recognition
period). Future changes in ownership of more than 50% may also
limit the use of these remaining NOL carry-forwards. Our earnings,
if any, and cash resources would be materially and adversely
affected if we cannot receive the full benefit of the remaining NOL
carry-forwards. An ownership change could occur as a result of
circumstances that are not within our control.
The telecommunications industry is highly competitive. We face
intense competition from traditional telephone companies, wireless
companies, cable companies and alternative voice communication
providers and other VoIP companies.
Our
Cloud telecommunications services compete with other voice over
internet protocol (VoIP) providers. In addition, we also compete
with traditional telephone service providers which provide
telephone service based on the public switched telephone network
(PSTN). Our VoIP offering is not fully compatible with such
customers. Some of these traditional providers have also added VoIP
services. There is also competition from cable providers, which
have added VoIP service offerings in bundled packages to their
existing cable customers. The telecommunications industry is highly
competitive. We face intense competition from traditional telephone
companies, wireless companies, cable companies, and alternative
voice communication providers.
Most
traditional wire line and wireless telephone service providers,
cable companies, and some VoIP providers are substantially larger
and better capitalized than we are and have the advantage of a
large existing customer base. Because most of our target customers
are already purchasing communications services from one or more of
these providers, our success is dependent upon our ability to
attract target customers away from their existing providers. Our
competitors’ financial resources may allow them to offer
services at prices below cost or even for free in order to maintain
and gain market share or otherwise improve their competitive
positions.
The
markets for our products and services are continuing to evolve and
are increasingly competitive. Demand and market acceptance for
recently introduced and proposed new products and services and
sales of such products and services are subject to a high level of
uncertainty and risk. Our business may suffer if the market
develops in an unexpected manner, develops more slowly than in the
past or becomes saturated with competitors, if any new products and
services do not sustain market acceptance. A number of very large,
well-capitalized, high profile companies serve the e-commerce, VoIP
and Cloud technology markets. If any of these companies entered our
markets in a focused and concentrated fashion, we could lose
customers, particularly more sophisticated and financially stable
customers.
Our VoIP or cloud telecommunications service competes against
established well financed alternative voice communication
providers, (such as 8x8 and Ring Central) who may provide
comparable services at comparable or lower pricing.
Pricing in the telecommunications industry is very
fluid and competitive. Price is often a substantial motivation
factor in a customer’s decision to switch to our telephony
products and services. Our competitors may reduce their rates which
may require us to reduce our rates, which would affect our margins
and revenues, or otherwise make our pricing
non-competitive. We may
be at a disadvantage compared with those competitors who have
substantially greater resources than us or may otherwise be better
positioned to withstand an extended period of downward pricing
pressure.
Many of
our current and potential competitors have longer operating
histories, significantly greater resources and brand awareness, and
a larger base of customers than we have. As a result, these
competitors may have greater credibility with our existing and
potential customers. Our competitors may also offer bundled service
arrangements that present a more differentiated or better
integrated product to customers. Announcements, or expectations, as
to the introduction of new products and technologies by our
competitors or us could cause customers to defer purchases of our
existing products, which also could have a material adverse effect
on our business, financial condition or operating
results.
Changes to rates by our suppliers, competitors and increasing
regulatory charges may require us to raise prices which could
impact results.
Pricing
in the telecommunications industry is very fluid and competitive.
Price is often a substantial motivating factor in a
customer’s decision to switch to our cloud telecommunications
products and services. Our competitors may reduce their rates which
may require us to reduce our rates, which would affect our margins
and revenues, or otherwise make our pricing non-competitive. Our
upstream carriers, suppliers and vendors may increase their rates
thus directly impacting our cost of sales, which would affect our
margins. Interconnected VoIP traffic may be subject to increased
charges. Should this occur, the rates paid to our underlying
carriers may increase which could reduce our profitability. Changes
in our underlying costs of sales may increase rates we charge our
customers which could make us less competitive and impact our sales
and retention of existing customers.
We have targeted sales to mid-market and larger enterprise
customers. Not properly managing these customers could negatively
affect our business, margins, cash flow and
operations.
Selling
to larger enterprise customers contains inherent risks and
uncertainties. Our sales cycle has become more time-consuming and
expensive. The delays associated with closing and installing larger
customers may impact results on a quarter to quarter basis. There
may be additional pricing pressure in this market which may affect
margins and profitability. Revenue recognition may be delayed for
some complex transactions, all of which could harm our business and
operating results. The loss of a large customer may have a material
negative impact on quarterly or annual results.
Multi-location
users require additional and expensive customer service which may
require additional expense and impact margins on enterprise sales.
Enterprise customers may demand more features, integration services
and customization which require additional engineering and
operational time which could impact margins on an enterprise sale.
Multi-location enterprise customer sales may have different
requirement in different locations which may be difficult to
fulfill or satisfy various interests which could result in
cancellations.
Enterprise
customers might demand we provide service locations internationally
where we may encounter technical, logistical, infrastructure and
regulatory limitations on our ability to implement or deliver our
services. Our inability to provide service in certain international
locations may result in a cancellation of the entire contract.
Further with larger enterprise customer sales, the risk of
customers transporting desktop devices internationally without our
knowledge may increase.
Sales to small and medium-sized businesses face risks as they may
have fewer financial resources to weather an economic
downturn.
A
substantial percentage of our revenues come from small and
medium-sized businesses. These customers may be more adversely
affected by economic downturns than larger, more established
businesses. The majority of our customers pay for our subscriptions
with credit and debit cards. Weakness in certain segments of the
credit markets and in the U.S. and global economies may result in
increased numbers of rejected credit and debit card payments, which
could negatively affect our business. If small and medium-sized
businesses experience financial hardship as a result of a weak
economy, industry consolidation, or any other reason, the overall
demand for our subscriptions could be materially and adversely
affected.
We must acquire new customers on an ongoing basis to maintain and
increase our customers and revenues.
We will
have to acquire new customers in order to increase revenues. We
incur significant costs to acquire new customers, and those costs
are an important factor in determining our profitability.
Therefore, if we are unsuccessful in retaining customers or are
required to spend significant amounts to acquire new customers
beyond those budgeted, our revenue could decrease, which could
prevent us from reaching profitability and have our net loss
increase. Marketing expenditures are an ongoing requirement and
will become a larger ongoing requirement of our
business.
If we do not successfully expand our sales including our partner
channel program and direct sales, we may be unable to substantially
increase our sales.
We sell
our products primarily through direct sales and our partner
channel, and we must substantially expand the number of partners
and producing direct sales personnel to increase organic revenue
substantially. If we are unable to expand our partner channel
network and hire and retain qualified sales personnel, our ability
to increase our organic revenue and grow our business could be
compromised. The challenge of attracting, training, and retaining
qualified candidates, may make it difficult to grow revenue.
We face risks in our sales to certain market segments including,
but not limited to, sales subject to HIPPA
Regulations.
We have
sold and will continue to attempt to sell to certain customer
segments which may have requirements for additional privacy or
security. In addition sales may be made to customers that are
subject to additional security requirements and or HIPPA
requirements. Selling into segments with additional requirements
increases potential liability which in some instances may be
unlimited. While the Company believes it meets or exceeds all
requirements for sales into such segments, there is no assurance
that the Company systems fully comply with all requirements. Our
customers can use our services to store contact and other personal
or identifying information, and to process, transmit, receive,
store and retrieve a variety of communications and messages,
including information about their own customers and other contacts.
In addition, customers may use our services to store protected
health information, or PHI, that is protected under the Health
Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, or HIPAA,
Noncompliance with laws and regulations relating to privacy and
HIPAA may lead to significant fines, penalties or civil
liability.
Our collection,
processing, storage, use, and transmission of personal data could
give rise to liabilities as a result of governmental regulation,
conflicting legal requirements, differing views on data privacy, or
security breaches.
We
collect, process, store, use, and transmit personal data on a daily
basis. Personal data is increasingly subject to legal and
regulatory protections around the world, which vary widely in
approach and which possibly conflict with one another. In recent
years, for example, U.S. legislators and regulatory agencies, such
as the Federal Trade Commission, as well as U.S. states have
increased their focus on protecting personal data by law and
regulation and have increased enforcement actions for violations of
privacy and data protection requirements. The European Commission
also recently approved and adopted the GDPR, a new data protection
law, which took effect beginning in May 2018. These data protection
laws and regulations are intended to protect the privacy and
security of personal data, including credit card information that
is collected, processed, and transmitted in or from the relevant
jurisdiction. Implementation of and compliance with these laws and
regulations may be more costly or take longer than we anticipate,
or could otherwise adversely affect our business operations, which
could negatively impact our financial position or cash flows.
Further, we have taken the position that the cost involved in
continually protecting data under GDPR was exorbitant compared to
the small revenue received from Countries subject to GDPR. As a
consequence, we stopped hosting websites in GDPR-complaint
Countries or Countries from which the bulk of business came from
Countries subject to GDPR. We also took steps to block those
Countries from accessing any other sites we host. Additionally,
media coverage of data breaches has escalated, in part because of
the increased number of enforcement actions, investigations, and
lawsuits. As this focus and attention on privacy and data
protection increases, we also risk exposure to potential
liabilities and costs resulting from compliance with or any failure
to comply with applicable legal requirements, conflicts among these
legal requirements, or differences in approaches to
privacy.
We could be liable for breaches of security on our website,
fraudulent activities of our users, or the failure of third-party
vendors to deliver credit card transaction processing
services.
We
engage in electronic billing and processing of our customers using
secure transmission of sometimes confidential information over
public networks. We have systems and processes in place that we
deem more than sufficient and industry standard that are designed
to protect consumer information and prevent fraudulent credit card
transactions and other security breaches. Our failure to protect
against fraud or breaches may subject us to costly breach
notification and other mitigation obligations, class action
lawsuits, investigations, fines, forfeitures, or penalties from
governmental agencies that could adversely affect our operating
results. We may be unable to prevent our customers from
fraudulently receiving goods and services. Our liability could also
increase if a large fraction of transactions using our services
involve fraudulent or disputed credit card transactions. We may
also experience losses due to subscriber fraud and theft of
service. Subscribers have, in the past, obtained access to our
service without paying for monthly service and international toll
calls by unlawfully using fraudulently obtained codes. If our
existing anti-fraud procedures are not adequate or effective,
consumer fraud and theft of service could have a material adverse
effect on our business, financial condition, and operating
results.
We face risks in our strategy of designing and developing our own
desktop telephones (”desktop devices”).
We
continue to primarily sell Crexendo ® branded desktop devices,
although, the Company also supports third party devices
manufactured by Yealink, Cisco, and Polycom. Our desktop devices
are being manufactured by third party vendors in China. The
Crexendo branded desktop devices include firmware specifically
designed for our cloud telecommunications services. If the phones
are successfully manufactured there is no assurance of the
acceptance of the desktop devices. Successful roll out is not
guaranteed and is contingent on various factors including but not
limited to; meeting certain industry standards, the availability of
our vendors to meet agreed terms, supply from vendors being
sufficient to meet demand, industry acceptance of the desktop
devices, desktop devices meeting the needs of our customers,
competitive pricing of the desktop devices, feature set of the
desktop devices being up to competitive standards, regulatory
approval as required of the desktop devices and competitor claims
relating to the desktop devices. Our failure to be able to fully
implement the sale of the Crexendo desktop devices or the inability
to have desktop devices manufactured to meet our supply needs may
cause us damage as well as require us to have to purchase desktop
devices from other suppliers at a higher price which could affect
sales and margins. Our desktop devices come preloaded with our
firmware and are not currently intended to work with other
competitors’ or vendors' services.
Our churn rate may increase in future periods due to customer
cancellations or other factors, which may adversely impact our
revenue or require us to spend more money to grow our customer
base.
Our
customers generally have initial service periods of between three
and five year and may discontinue their subscriptions for our
services after the expiration of their initial subscription period.
In addition, our customers may renew for lower subscription amounts
or for shorter contract lengths. We may not accurately predict
cancellation rates for our customers. Our cancellation rates may
increase or fluctuate because of a number of factors, including
customer usage, pricing changes, number of applications used by our
customers, customer satisfaction with our service, the acquisition
of our customers by other companies and deteriorating general
economic conditions. If our customers do not renew their
subscriptions for our service or decrease the amount they spend
with us, our revenue will decline, and our business will
suffer.
Our
rate of customer cancellations may increase in future periods due
to many factors, some of which are beyond our control, such as the
financial condition of our customers or the state of credit
markets. In addition, a single, protracted service outage or a
series of service disruptions, whether due to our services or those
of our bandwidth carriers, may result in a sharp increase in
customer cancellations.
If we do not successfully expand our physical infrastructure and
build diverse geo redundant locations, which require large
investments, we may be unable to substantially increase our sales
and retain customers.
Our
ability to provide cloud telecommunications services is dependent
upon on our physical and cloud based infrastructure. While most of
our physical equipment required for providing these services is
redundant in nature and offers high availability, certain types of
failures or malfunctioning of critical hardware/software equipment,
including but not limited to fire, water or other physical damage
may impact our ability to deliver continuous service to our
customers. Act of God or terrorism or vandalism or gross negligence
of person(s) currently or formerly associated with the company may
result in loss of revenue, profitability and retaining and
acquiring new customers.
Our
ability to recover from disasters, if and when they occur is
paramount to offer continued service to our existing customers. In
addition to our physical infrastructure, we have a cloud
infrastructure deployment with AWS to provide continuous service to
our customers in the event of a disaster or failure of our physical
infrastructure. If our third-party service providers fail to
maintain these facilities properly, or fail to respond quickly to
problems, our customers may experience service interruptions. The
failure of any of these third party service providers to properly
maintain services may be subject to factors including but not
limited to the following: (i) cause a loss of customers, (ii)
adversely affect our reputation, (iii) cause negative publicity,
(iv) negatively impact our ability to acquire customers, (v)
negatively impact our revenue and profitability, (vi) potential law
suits for not reaching E-911 services, and (vii) potential law
suits for loss of business and loss of reputation.
We may not be able to scale our business efficiently or quickly
enough to meet our customers' growing needs, in which case our
operating results could be harmed.
As
usage of our cloud telecommunications services by mid-market and
larger distributed enterprises expands and as customers continue to
integrate our services across their enterprises, we are required to
devote additional resources to improving our application
architecture, integrating our products and applications across our
technology platform as well as expanding integration and
performance. We will need to appropriately scale our internal
business systems and our services organization, including customer
support and services and regulatory compliance, to serve a growing
customer base. Any failure of or delay in these efforts could cause
to prevent acquisition of customers, impaired system performance
and reduced customer satisfaction. These issues could result in
decreased sales to new customers, lower renewal rates by existing
customers, which could hurt our revenue growth and our reputation.
We cannot be sure that the expansion and improvements to our
infrastructure and systems will be fully or effectively implemented
on a timely basis, if at all. These efforts may reduce revenue and
our margins and adversely impact our financial
results.
Our success depends in part upon the capacity, reliability, and
performance of our network infrastructure, including the capacity
provided by our Internet bandwidth suppliers.
We
depend on these companies to provide uninterrupted and error-free
service. Some of these providers are also our competitors. We do
not have control over these providers. We may be subject to
interruptions or delays in network service. If we fail to maintain
reliable bandwidth or performance that could significantly reduce
customer demand for our services and damage our
business.
Our success depends in part upon the capacity, reliability, and
performance of our telecom carriers, and their network
infrastructure, including the capacity provided by our Tier 1 and
non-Tier 1 Telecom suppliers for Telecom Origination and
Termination Services
We
depend on these companies to provide uninterrupted and error-free
service telecom services, sourcing of DIDs, porting of numbers and
delivering telephone calls from and to endpoints and devices on our
network. Some of these providers are also our competitors. We do
not have control over these providers. We may be subject to
interruptions or delays in their service. If we fail to maintain
reliable connectivity or performance with our upstream carriers it
could then significantly reduce customer demand for our services
and damage our business.
Our ability to provide telecommunications services is dependent
upon third-party facilities and equipment, the failure of which
could cause delays or interruptions of our service and impact our
revenue and profitability.
Our ability to provide quality and reliable cloud
telecommunications service is in part dependent upon the proper
functioning of facilities and equipment owned and operated by third
parties and is, therefore, beyond our control. Our cloud
telecommunications service (and to a lesser extend our e-commerce
services) requires our customers to have an operative broadband
Internet connection and an electrical power supply, which are
provided by the customer’s Internet service provider and
electric utility company and not by us. The quality of some
broadband Internet connections may be too poor for customers to use
our services properly. In addition, if there is any interruption to
a customer’s broadband Internet service or electrical power
supply, that customer will be unable to make or receive calls,
including emergency calls (our
E-911 service), using our service. We outsource several of our
network functions to third-party providers. If our third-party
service providers fail to maintain these facilities properly, or
fail to respond quickly to problems, our customers may experience
service interruptions. The failure of any of these third party
service providers to properly maintain services may be subject to
factors including but not limited to the following: (i) cause a
loss of customers, (ii) adversely affect our reputation, (iii)
cause negative publicity, (iv) negatively impact our ability to
acquire customers, (v) negatively impact our revenue and
profitability, (vi) potential law suits for not reaching E-911
services, and (vii) potential law suits for loss of business and
loss of reputation.
We rely on third parties to provide a portion of our customer
service responses, initiate local number portability for our
customers, deliver calls to and from PSTN and other public
telephone VoIP/Wireless service providers and provide aspects of
our E-911 service.
We offer our cloud telecommunications customers
support 24 hours a day, seven days a week. We may rely on third
parties (sometimes outside of the U.S) to respond to customer
inquiries. These third-party providers generally represent us
without identifying themselves as independent parties. The ability
of third-party providers to provide these representatives may be
disrupted due to issues outside our control.
We also
maintain an agreement with an E-911
provider to assist us in routing emergency calls directly to an
emergency service dispatcher at the PSAP in the area of the
customer’s registered location and terminating E-911 calls.
We also contract with a provider for the national call center that
operates 24 hours a day, seven days a week to receive certain
emergency calls and with several companies that maintain PSAP
databases for the purpose of deploying and operating E-911
services. The dispatcher will
have automatic access to the customer's telephone number and
registered location information. If a customer moves their Crexendo
service to a new location, the customer's registered location
information must be updated and verified by the customer. Until
that takes place, the customer will have to verbally advise the
emergency dispatcher of his or her actual location at the time of
an emergency 9-1-1 call. This can lead to delays in the
delivery of emergency services
Interruptions
in service from these vendors could
also cause failures in our customers’ access to E-911
services and expose us to liability.
We
also have agreements with companies
that initiate our local number portability, which allow new
customers to retain their existing telephone numbers when
subscribing to our services. We will need to work with these
companies to properly port numbers. The failure to port numbers may
subject us to loss of customers or regulatory
review.
If
any of these third parties do not provide reliable, high-quality
service, our reputation and our business will be harmed. In
addition, industry consolidation among providers of services to us
may impact our ability to obtain these services or increase our
expense for these services.
Our dependence on outside contractors and third-party agents for
fulfillment of certain items and critical manufacturing services
could result in product or delivery delays and/or damage our
customer relations.
We
outsource the manufacturing of certain products we sell and
products we provide. We submit purchase orders to agents or the
companies that manufacture the products. We describe, among other
things, the type and quantities of products or components to be
supplied or manufactured and the delivery date and other terms
applicable to the products or components. Our suppliers or
manufacturers potentially may not accept any purchase order that we
submit. Our reliance on outside parties involves a number of
potential risks, including: (i) the absence of adequate capacity,
(ii) the unavailability of, or interruptions in access to,
production or manufacturing processes, (iii) reduced control over
delivery schedules, (iv) errors in the product, and (v) claims of
third party intellectual infringement or defective merchandise. If
delays, problems or defects were to occur, it could adversely
affect our business, cause claims for damages to be filed against
us, and negatively impact our consolidated operations and cash
flows.
Errors in our technology or technological issues outside our
control could cause delays or interruptions to our
customers.
Our
services (including cloud telecommunications and e-commerce) may be
disrupted by problems with our technology and systems such as
malfunctions in our software or facilities. In addition there may
be service interruptions for reasons outside our control. Our
customers and potential customers subscribing to our services have
experienced interruptions in the past and may experience
interruptions in the future as a result of these types of problems.
Interruptions could cause us to lose customers and offer customer
credits, which could adversely affect our revenue and
profitability. Network and Telecommunication interruptions may also
impair our ability to sign-up new customers. In addition since our
systems and our customers’ ability to use our services are
Internet-dependent, our services may be subject to
“cyber-attacks” from the Internet, which could have a
significant impact on our systems and services. Our
customers’ ability to use our services is dependent on
third-party internet providers which may suffer service
disruptions. If service interruptions adversely affect the
perceived reliability of our service, we may have difficulty
attracting and retaining customers and our growth may
suffer.
Our operations could be hurt by a natural disaster, network
security breach, or other catastrophic event.
We maintain a fully redundant physical
infrastructure in our data center in Tempe, Arizona and a cloud
infrastructure deployment with AWS for disaster recovery. This
system does not guarantee continued reliability if a catastrophic
event occurs. Despite implementation of network security measures,
our servers may be vulnerable to computer viruses, break-ins, and
similar disruptions from unauthorized tampering with our computer
systems including, but not limited to, denial of service attacks.
In addition, if there is a breach or alleged breach of security or
privacy involving our services including but not limited to data
loss, or if any third party undertakes illegal or harmful actions
using our communications or e-commerce services, our business and
reputation could suffer substantial adverse publicity and
impairment. We have experienced interruptions in service in the
past. While we do not believe that we have lost customers as a
consequence, the harm to our reputation is difficult to assess. We
have taken and continue to take steps to improve our infrastructure
to prevent service interruptions.
Failure in our data center or services could lead to significant
costs and disruptions.
All data centers, including ours, are subject to various
points of failure. Problems with cooling equipment, generators,
uninterruptible power supply, routers, switches, or other
equipment, whether or not within our control, could result in
service interruptions for our customers as well as equipment
damage. Any failure or downtime could affect a significant
percentage of our customers. The total destruction or severe
impairment of our data center facilities could result in
significant downtime of our services and the loss of customer
data.
Internet security issues and growing Cyber threats pose risks to
the development of e-commerce and our business.
Security and
privacy concerns may inhibit the growth of the Internet and other
online services generally, especially as a means of conducting
commercial transactions.
We could experience security breaches in the transmission and
analysis of confidential and proprietary information of the
consumer, the merchant, or both, as well as our own confidential
and proprietary information.
Anyone
able to circumvent security measures could misappropriate
proprietary information or cause interruptions in our operations,
as well as the operations of the merchant. We may be required to
expend significant capital and other resources to protect against
security breaches or to minimize problems caused by security
breaches. To the extent that we experience breaches in the security
of proprietary information which we store and transmit, our
reputation could be damaged and we could be exposed to a risk of
loss or litigation.
We collect personal and credit card information from our customers
and employees could misuse this information.
The PCI
Data Security Standard (“PCI DSS”) is a specific set of
comprehensive security standards required by credit card brands for
enhancing payment account data security, including but not limited
to requirements for security management, policies, procedures,
network architecture, and software design. We maintain credit card
and other personal information in our systems. Due to the sensitive
nature of retaining such information we have implemented policies
and procedures to preserve and protect our data and our
customers’ data against loss, misuse, corruption,
misappropriation caused by systems failures, unauthorized access,
or misuse. Notwithstanding these policies, we could be subject to
liability claims by individuals and customers whose data resides in
our databases for the misuse of that information. While the Company
believes its systems meet or exceed industry standards, the Company
does not believe it is required to meet PCI level 1 compliance and
has not certified under that level. Failure to meet PCI compliance
levels could negatively impact the Company’s ability to
collect and store credit card information which could cause
substantial disruption to our business. Notwithstanding the results
of this assessment there can be no assurance that payment card
brands will not request further compliance assessments or set forth
additional requirements to maintain access to credit card
processing services, which could incur substantial additional costs
and could have a material adverse effect on our
business.
We depend upon industry standard protocols, best practices,
solutions, third-party software, technology, tools including but
not limited to Open Source software.
We rely
on non-proprietary third party licensing and software some of which
may be Open Source and protected under various licensing
agreements. We may be subject to additional royalties, license or
trademark infringement costs or other unknown costs when one or
more of these third-party technologies are affected or need to be
replaced due to end-of-support or end-of-sale of such third
parties.
We may incur substantial expenses in defending against third-party
patent and trademark infringement claims regardless of their
merit.
From
time to time, parties may assert patent infringement claims against
us in the form of letters, lawsuits, and other forms of
communication. Third parties may also assert claims against us
alleging infringement of copyrights, trademark rights, trade secret
rights or other proprietary rights or alleging unfair competition.
If there is a determination that we have infringed third-party
proprietary rights, we could incur substantial monetary liability
and be prevented from using the rights in the future.
We depend on our senior management and other key personnel, and a
loss of these individuals could adversely impact our ability to
execute our business plan and grow our business.
We
depend on the continued services of our key personnel, including
our Officers and certain engineers. Each of these individuals has
acquired specialized knowledge and skills with respect to our
operations. The loss of one or more of these key personnel could
negatively impact our performance. In addition, we expect to hire
additional personnel as we continue to execute our strategic plan,
particularly if we are successful in expanding our operations.
Competition for the limited number of qualified personnel in our
industry is intense. At times, we have experienced difficulties in
hiring personnel with the necessary training or
experience.
Our public filings are subject to review by the SEC.
Our SEC
filings are reviewed by the SEC from time to time and any
significant changes required as a result of any such review may
result in material liability to us and have a material adverse
impact on the trading price of our common stock.
Examinations by relevant tax authorities may result in material
changes in related tax reserves for tax positions taken in
previously filed tax returns or may impact the valuation of certain
deferred income tax assets, such as net operating loss
carry-forwards.
Based
on the outcome of examinations by relevant tax authorities, or as a
result of the expiration of statutes of limitations for specific
jurisdictions, it is reasonably possible that the related tax
reserves for tax positions taken regarding previously filed tax
returns will materially change from those recorded in our financial
statements. In addition, the outcome of examinations may impact the
valuation of certain deferred income tax assets (such as net
operating loss carry-forwards) in future periods. It is not
possible to estimate the impact of the amount of such changes, if
any, to previously recorded uncertain tax positions.
Changes in our business model and sales strategies may adversely
impact revenue.
When
the Company shifted away from a seminar sales model, our web
services revenue was adversely impacted. Our website hosting
revenue has continued to decline since we no longer sell our
website development software through a seminar sales model. The
Company is not actively marketing its website development software
or website hosting services. Our web services segment revenue may
continue to decline over time as more competitors enter the website
building and hosting industry.
From time to time we had been the subject of governmental inquiries
and investigations related to our discontinued seminar sales model
and business practices that could require us to pay refunds,
damages or fines, which could negatively impact our financial
results or ability to conduct business. We have received customer
complaints and civil actions.
From
time to time, we received inquiries from federal, national, state,
city and local government officials in the various jurisdictions in
which we operated. These inquiries had historically been related to
our discontinued seminar sales practices. There is still the
potential of review of past sales and sales of our current web and
telecom services. We respond to these inquiries and have generally
been successful in addressing the concerns of these persons and
entities, without a formal complaint or charge being made, although
there is often no formal closing of the inquiry or investigation.
The ultimate resolution of these or other inquiries or
investigations may have a material adverse effect on our business
or operations, or a formal complaint could be initiated. During the
ordinary course of business, we also receive a number of complaints
and inquiries from customers, governmental and private entities. In
some cases, these complaints and inquiries from agencies and
customers have ended up in civil court. We may continue to receive
customer and agency claims and actions.
Changes in laws and regulations and the interpretation and
enforcement of such laws and regulations could adversely impact our
financial results or ability to conduct business.
We are
subject to a variety of federal and state laws and regulations as
well as oversight from a variety of governmental agencies and
public service commissions. The laws governing our business may
change in ways that harm our business. Federal or state
governmental agencies administering and enforcing such laws may
also choose to interpret and apply them in ways that harm our
business. These interpretations are also subject to change.
Regulatory action could materially impair or force us to change our
business model and may adversely affect our revenue, increase our
compliance costs, and reduce our profitability. In addition,
governmental agencies such as the SEC, Internal Revenue Service
(IRS), Federal Trade Commission (FTC), Federal Communication
Commission (FCC) and state taxing authorities may conclude that we
have violated federal laws, state laws or other rules and
regulations, and we could be subject to fines, penalties or other
actions that could adversely impact our financial results or our
ability to conduct business.
The FCC net neutrality rules have changed. We cannot predict the
effect of this, nor the impact of this change on our
business.
On January 4, 2018, the Federal Communications
Commission, or FCC, released an order that largely repeals rules
that the FCC had in place which prevented broadband internet access
providers from degrading or otherwise disrupting a broad range of
services provisioned over consumers' and enterprises' broadband
internet access lines. There are efforts in Congress to prevent the
Order from becoming effective and a number of state attorneys
general have filed an appeal of the FCC's January 4, 2018 order. We
cannot predict whether the FCC's January 4, 2018 order will remain
effective. Many of the largest providers of broadband services,
like cable companies and traditional telephone companies, have
publicly stated that they will not degrade or disrupt their
customers' use of applications and services, like ours. If such
providers were to degrade, impair, or block our services, it would
negatively impact our ability to provide services to our customers,
likely result in lost revenue and profits, and we would incur legal
fees in attempting to restore our customers' access to our
services. Broadband internet access providers may also attempt to
charge us or our customers additional fees to access services like
ours that may result in the loss of customers and revenue,
decreased profitability, or increased costs to our offerings that
may make our services less competitive. We cannot predict the
potential impact of the FCC's January 4, 2018 order on us at this
time.
Our Telecommunications services are
required to comply with industry standards, FCC regulations,
privacy laws as well as certain State and local jurisdiction
specific regulations failure to comply with those may subject us to
penalties and may also require us to modify existing products
and/or service.
The
acceptance of telecommunications services is dependent upon our
meeting certain industry standards. We are required to comply with
certain rules and regulations of the FCC regarding safety
standards. Standards are continuously being modified and replaced.
As standards evolve, we may be required to modify our existing
products or develop and support new versions of our products. We
must comply with certain federal, state, and local requirements
regarding how we interact with our customers, including marketing
practices, consumer protection, privacy, and billing issues, the
provision of 9-1-1 emergency service and the quality of service we
provide to our customers. The failure of our products and services
to comply, or delays in compliance, with various existing and
evolving standards could delay future offerings and impact our
sales, margins, and profitability. Changes to the Universal Service
Funds by the FCC or various States may require us to increase our
costs which could negatively affect revenue and
margins.
We are subject to Federal laws and FCC regulations
that require us to protect customer information. While we have
protections in place to protect customer information there is no
assurance that our systems will not be subject to failure or
intentional fraudulent attack. The failure to protect required
information could subject us to penalties and diminish the
confidence our customers have in our systems which could negatively
affect results. While we try to comply with all applicable data
protection laws, regulations, standards, and codes of conduct, as
well as our own posted privacy policies and contractual commitments
to the extent possible, any failure by us to protect our
users’ privacy and data, including as a result of our systems
being compromised by hacking or other malicious or surreptitious
activity, could result in a loss of user confidence in our services
and ultimately in a loss of users, which could materially
and adversely affect our business as well as subject us to law
suits, civil fines and criminal penalties.
Governmental
entities, class action lawyers and consumer advocates are reviewing
the data collection and use by companies that must maintain such
data. Our own requirements as well as regulatory codes of conduct,
enforcement actions by regulatory agencies, and lawsuits by other
parties could impose additional compliance costs on us as well as
subject us to unknown potential liabilities. These evolving laws,
rules and practices may also curtail our current business
activities which may delay or affect our ability to become
profitable as well as affect customers and other business
opportunities.
We are
also subject to the privacy and data protection-related obligations
in our contracts with our customers and other third parties. Any
failure, or perceived failure, to comply with federal, state, or
international laws, or to comply with our contractual obligations
related to privacy, could result in proceedings or actions against
us which could result in significant liability to us as well as
harm to our reputation. Additionally, third parties with whom we
contract may violate or appear to violate laws or regulations which
could subject us to the same risks.
There
is considerable uncertainty with respect to the state of law
governing data transfers between the European Union ("EU"), and
other countries with similar data protection laws, and it remains
unclear what the final resolution will be for cross-border data
transfers of personal information. There may be risks associated
with data transfer and customers who use International
Locations.
States are adding regulation for VoIP
providers which could increase our costs and change certain aspects
of our service.
Certain states take the position that offerings by
VoIP providers are intrastate and therefore subject to state
regulation. We have registered as a CLEC in most states, however
our rates are not regulated in the same manner as traditional
telephone service providers. Some states are also requiring that we
register as a seller of VoIP services even though we have
registered as a CLEC. Some states argue that if the beginning and
desktop devices of communications are known, and if some of these
communications occur entirely within the boundaries of a state, the
state can regulate that offering and may therefore add additional
taxes or surcharges or regulate rates in a similar matter to
traditional telephone service providers. We believe that the FCC
has pre-empted states from regulating VoIP providers in the same
manner as providers of traditional telecommunications services. We
cannot predict how this issue will be resolved or its impact
on our business at this time.
Our ability to offer services outside the U.S. is subject to
different regulations which may be unknown and
uncertain.
Regulatory
treatment of VoIP providers outside
the United States varies from country to country, and local
jurisdictions. Many times, the laws are vague, unclear and
regulations are not enforced uniformly. We are licensed as a VoIP
seller in Canada, and are considering expanding to other Countries.
We also cannot control if our customers take their devices out of
the United States and use them abroad. Our resellers may sell to
customers who maintain facilities outside the United States. The
failure by us or our customers and resellers to comply with laws
and regulations could reduce our revenue and profitability. As we
expand to additional Countries there may be additional regulations
that we are required to comply with, the failure to comply or
properly assess regulations may subject us to penalties, fines and
other actions which could materially affect our
business.
Our
corporate office consists of approximately 22,000 square feet of
office space in Tempe, Arizona owned by our CEO. Our corporate
office is located at 1615 South 52nd Street, Tempe,
Arizona 85281. We maintain property insurance on the corporate
office building as required by the lease and tenant fire and
casualty insurance on our assets located in these buildings in an
amount that we deem adequate.
ITEM
3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
From
time to time we receive inquiries from federal, state, city and
local government officials as well as the FCC and taxing
authorities in the various jurisdictions in which we operate. These
inquiries and investigations related primarily to our discontinued
seminar operations and concern compliance with various city,
county, state, and/or federal regulations involving sales,
representations made, customer service, refund policies, services
and marketing practices. We respond to these inquiries and have
generally been successful in addressing the concerns of these
persons and entities, without a formal complaint or charge being
made, although there is often no formal closing of the inquiry or
investigation. There can be no assurance that the ultimate
resolution of these or other inquiries and investigations will not
have a material adverse effect on our business or operations, or
that a formal complaint will not be initiated. We also receive
complaints and inquiries in the ordinary course of our business
from both customers and governmental and non-governmental bodies on
behalf of customers, and in some cases these customer complaints
have risen to the level of litigation. There can be no assurance
that the ultimate resolution of these matters will not have a
material adverse effect on our business or results of
operations.

OVERVIEW
Crexendo, Inc. is a
next-generation CLEC and an award-winning leader and provider of
unified communications cloud telecom services, broadband internet
services, and other cloud business services that are designed to
provide enterprise-class cloud services to any size business at
affordable monthly rates. The Company has two operating segments,
which consist of Cloud Telecommunications and Web
Services.
Cloud Telecommunications - Our cloud
telecommunications services transmit calls using IP or cloud
technology, which converts voice signals into digital data packets
for transmission over the Internet or cloud. Each of our calling
plans provides a number of basic features typically offered by
traditional telephone service providers, plus a wide range of
enhanced features that we believe offer an attractive value
proposition to our customers. This platform enables a user, via a
single “identity” or telephone number, to access and
utilize services and features regardless of how the user is
connected to the Internet or cloud, whether it’s from a
desktop device or an application on a mobile device.
We
generate recurring revenue from our cloud telecommunications and
broadband Internet services. Our cloud telecommunications contracts
typically have a thirty-six to sixty month term. We generate
product revenue and equipment financing revenue from the sale and
lease of our cloud telecommunications equipment. Revenues from the
sale of equipment, including those from sales-type leases, are
recognized at the time of sale or at the inception of the lease, as
appropriate.
Our
Cloud Telecommunications service revenue increased 24% or
$1,842,000 to $9,636,000 for the year ended December 31, 2018 as
compared to $7,794,000 for the year ended December 31, 2017. Our
Cloud Telecommunications product revenue increased 7% or $100,000
to $1,447,000 for the year ended December 31, 2017 as compared to
$1,347,000 for the year ended December 31, 2017. As of December 31,
2018 and 2017, our backlog was $23,029,000 and $19,871,000,
respectively.
Web Services – We generate recurring revenue from
website hosting and other professional services.
Our Web
Services revenue decreased 21% or $221,000 to $825,000 for the year
ended December 31, 2018 as compared to $1,046,000 for the year
ended December 31, 2017.

Year Ended December 31, 2018 Compared to Year Ended December 31,
2017
Service Revenue
Service
revenue consists primarily of fees collected for cloud
telecommunications services, professional services, interest from
sales-type leases, broadband Internet services, website hosting,
and web management services. Service revenue increased 18% or
$1,621,000, to $10,461,000 for the year ended December 31, 2018 as
compared to $8,840,000 for the year ended December 31, 2017. Cloud
Telecommunications service revenue increased 24% or $1,842,000, to
$9,636,000 for the year ended December 31, 2018 as compared to
$7,794,000 for the year ended December 31, 2017. Web service
revenue decreased 21% or $221,000, to $825,000 for the year ended
December 31, 2018 as compared to $1,046,000 for the year ended
December 31, 2017.
Product Revenue
Product
revenue consists primarily of fees collected for the sale of
desktop phone devices and third party equipment. Product revenue
increased by 7% or $100,000, to $1,447,000 for the year ended
December 31, 2018 as compared to $1,347,000 for the year ended
December 31, 2017. Product revenue fluctuates from one period to
the next based on timing of installations. Our typical customer
installation is complete within 30 days. However, larger enterprise
customers can take multiple months, depending on size and the
number of locations. Product revenue is recognized when products
have been installed and services commence. We believe growth will
initially be seen through increase in our backlog.
Loss Before Income Taxes
Loss
before income tax decreased 77% or $714,000 to $208,000 for the
year ended December 31, 2018 as compared to $922,000 for the year
ended December 31, 2017. The decrease in loss before income tax is
primarily due to an increase in revenue of $1,721,000 and a
decrease in other expense of $186,000, primarily related to a
decrease in interest expense from the related party note payable
which was substantially paid off in September 2017. This was offset
by an increase in total operating expenses of
$1,193,000.
Income Tax Provision
We had
an income tax provision of $15,000 for the year ended December 31,
2018 compared to an income tax provision of $7,000 for the year
ended December 31, 2017. We had a pre-tax loss for the years ended
December 31, 2018 and 2017 of $208,000 and $922,000, respectively,
and a full valuation allowance on all of our deferred tax assets
for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017.
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To
evaluate our business, we consider and use non-generally accepted
accounting principles (Non-GAAP) net income (loss) and Adjusted
EBITDA as a supplemental measure of operating performance. These
measures include the same adjustments that management takes into
account when it reviews and assesses operating performance on a
period-to-period basis. We consider Non-GAAP net income (loss) to
be an important indicator of overall business performance because
it allows us to evaluate results without the effects of share-based
compensation, rent expense paid with common stock, and amortization
of intangibles. We define EBITDA as U.S. GAAP net income (loss)
before interest income, interest expense, other income and expense,
provision for income taxes, and depreciation and amortization. We
believe EBITDA provides a useful metric to investors to compare us
with other companies within our industry and across industries. We
define Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA adjusted for share-based
compensation, and rent expense paid with stock. We use Adjusted
EBITDA as a supplemental measure to review and assess operating
performance. We also believe use of Adjusted EBITDA facilitates
investors’ use of operating performance comparisons from
period to period, as well as across companies.
In our
March 5, 2019 earnings press release, as furnished on Form 8-K, we
included Non-GAAP net loss, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA. The terms
Non-GAAP net loss, EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA are not defined
under U.S. GAAP, and are not measures of operating income,
operating performance or liquidity presented in analytical tools,
and when assessing our operating performance, Non-GAAP net loss,
EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation,
or as a substitute for net loss or other consolidated income
statement data prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Some of these
limitations include, but are not limited to:
●
EBITDA and Adjusted
EBITDA do not reflect our cash expenditures or future requirements

while share-based
compensation is a component of operating expense, the impact on our
financial statements compared to other companies can vary
significantly due to such factors as the assumed life of the

and
●
other companies may
calculate EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA differently than we do,
limiting their usefulness as comparative measures.
We compensate
for these limitations by relying primarily on our U.S. GAAP results
and using Non-GAAP net income (loss), EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA
only as supplemental support for management’s analysis of
business performance. Non-GAAP net income (loss), EBITDA and
Adjusted EBITDA are calculated as follows for the periods
presented.
Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In
accordance with the requirements of Regulation G issued by the SEC,
we are presenting the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial
measures and reconciling the unaudited Non-GAAP financial metrics
to the comparable U.S. GAAP measures.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
The
consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
The following accounting policies are the most critical in
understanding our consolidated financial position, results of
operations or cash flows, and that may require management to make
subjective or complex judgments about matters that are inherently
uncertain.
Goodwill – Goodwill is tested for
impairment using a fair-value-based approach on an annual basis
(December 31) and between annual tests if indicators of potential
impairment exist.
Intangible Assets - Our intangible
assets consist primarily of customer relationships and developed
technology. The intangible assets are amortized following the
patterns in which the economic benefits are consumed. We
periodically review the estimated useful lives of our intangible
assets and review these assets for impairment whenever events or
changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the
assets may not be recoverable. The determination of impairment is
based on estimates of future undiscounted cash flows. If an
intangible asset is considered to be impaired, the amount of the
impairment will be equal to the excess of the carrying value over
the fair value of the asset.
Contingent liabilities - Contingent
liabilities require significant judgment in estimating potential
payouts. Contingent considerations arising from business
combinations require management to estimate future payouts based on
forecasted results, which are highly sensitive to the estimates of
discount rates and future revenues. These estimates can change
significantly from period to period and reviewed each reporting
period to establish the fair value of the contingent
liability.
For
additional information on use of estimates, see summary of
Significant Accounting Policies in the notes to the Consolidated
Financial Statements.

Year Ended December 31, 2018 Compared to Year Ended December 31,
2017
Service Revenue
Cloud
Telecommunications service revenue consists primarily of fees
collected for cloud telecommunications services, professional
services, interest from sales-type leases, administrative fees, and
broadband Internet services. Service revenue increased 24% or
$1,842,000, to $9,636,000 for the year ended December 31, 2018 as
compared to $7,794,000 for the year ended December 31, 2017. The
increase in service revenue is due to an increase in contracted
service revenue, usage charges, and professional services revenue
of $1,919,000, offset by a decrease in cancellation charges of
$77,000. A substantial portion of Cloud Telecommunications segment
revenue is generated through thirty-six to sixty month service
contracts. As such, we believe growth in Cloud Telecommunications
segment will initially be seen through increases in our
backlog.
Product Revenue
Product
revenue consists primarily of fees collected for the sale of
desktop phone devices and third party equipment. Product revenue
increased 7% or $100,000, to $1,447,000 for the year ended December
31, 2018 as compared to $1,347,000 for the year ended December 31,
2017. Product revenue fluctuates from one period to the next based
on timing of installations, as we recognize revenue when the
installation is complete. Our typical customer installation is
complete within 30 days. However, larger enterprise customers can
take multiple months, depending on size and the number of
locations. Product revenue is recognized when products have been
installed and services commence. We believe growth will initially
be seen through increases in our backlog.
Backlog
Backlog
represents the total contract value of all contracts signed, less
revenue recognized from those contracts as of December 31, 2018 and
2017. Below is a table which displays the Cloud Telecommunications
segment revenue backlog as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, which we
expect to recognize as revenue within the next thirty-six to sixty
months (in thousands):
Cloud Telecommunications Services backlog as of December 31,
2018
|
|
|
$ 23,029
|
Cloud Telecommunications Services backlog as of December 31,
2017
|
|
|
$ 19,871
|
Cost of Service Revenue
Cost of
service revenue consists primarily of fees we pay to third-party
telecommunications carriers and software providers, broadband
Internet fees, and costs related to installations and customer
support salaries and benefits. Cost of service revenue increased
14% or $362,000, to $2,973,000 for the year ended December 31, 2018
as compared to $2,611,000 for the year ended December 31, 2017. The
increase in cost of service revenue was primarily due to an
increase in salaries and benefits of $174,000 as a result of an
increase in customer support headcount, an increase in costs
related to installations of $54,000, an increase in stock options
expense of $43,000, an increase in credit card processing fees of
$39,000, an increase in bandwidth costs of $38,000, and a $14,000
increase in freight. These increases are directly related to the
growth in monthly recurring revenue.
Cost of Product Revenue
Cost of
product revenue consists of the costs associated with desktop phone
devices, inventory costs, and the purchase of third party
equipment. Cost of product revenue increased 32% or $178,000, to
$727,000 for the year ended December 31, 2018 as compared to
$549,000 for the year ended December 31, 2017. The increase is
primarily due to the increase in product revenue, an increase in
shipping costs, an increase in device costs, and an increased
volume of replacement phones being sent out to
customers.
Research and Development
Research and
development expenses primarily consist of payroll and related
expenses, related to the development of new cloud
telecommunications features and products. Research and development
expenses increased 7% or $52,000, to $776,000 for the year ended
December 31, 2018 as compared to $724,000 for the year ended
December 31, 2017. The increase is primarily due to an $83,000 increase in costs
for the development of a new customer user interface and the
Android app, offset by a $31,000 decrease in salary and benefits
due to a decrease in headcount.
Selling and Marketing
Selling
and marketing expenses consist primarily of direct and channel
sales representative salaries and benefits, partner channel
commissions, amortization of costs to acquire contracts,
tradeshows, the production of marketing materials, and sales
support software. Selling and marketing expenses increased 20% or
$570,000, to $3,403,000 for the year ended December 31, 2018 as
compared to $2,833,000 for the year ended December 31, 2017. The
increase in selling and marketing expense was due to an increase in
commission expenses of $339,000 directly related to an increase in
revenue, an increase in salaries and benefits of $185,000, an
increase in travel expenses of $38,000, and an increase in bad debt
of $14,000, offset by a decrease in stock options expense of $5,000
and a decrease in business development costs of $1,000, which
includes trade shows and other marketing materials.
General and Administrative
General
and administrative expenses consist of salaries and benefits for
executives, administrative personnel, legal, rent, accounting,
other professional services, and other administrative corporate
expenses. General and administrative expenses increased 4% or
$154,000, to $3,817,000 for the year ended December 31, 2018 as
compared to $3,663,000 for the year ended December 31, 2017.
Consolidated general and administrative expenses increased less
than 1%, or $19,000 to $4,091,000 for the year ended December 31,
2018 compared to $4,072,000 for the year ended December 31, 2017.
As Web Services segment revenue continues to decrease and Cloud
Telecommunications segment revenue continues to increase, a higher
percentage of general and administrative costs are being allocated
to the Cloud Telecommunications segment. The increase in
consolidated general and administrative expenses is primarily due
to an increase in
accounting and other professional services of $104,000, an increase
in computer supplies and office equipment of $75,000, an increase
in administrative salaries and benefits of $42,000, an increase in
repairs and maintenance of $29,000, and an increase in other
administrative corporate expenses of $11,000, offset by a decrease
in stock options expense of $159,000 and a decrease in software
expense of $83,000.
Other Income/(Expense)
Other
income/(expense) primarily relates to the allocated portions of
interest expense, offset by sublease rental income. Net other
expense decreased 103% or $188,000 to $5,000 of net other income
for the year ended December 31, 2018 as compared to net other
expense of $(183,000) for the year ended December 31, 2017. The
decrease is due to a decrease in allocated interest expense of
$177,000 primarily related to the related party note payable, which
was substantially paid off in September 2017 and an increase in
other income of $11,000, which is primarily related to sublease
rental income.

Year Ended December 31, 2018 Compared to Year Ended December 31,
2017
Service Revenue
Service
revenue is generated primarily through website hosting,
professional web management services, and extended payment term
agreements (EPTAs). Web services revenue decreased 21% or $221,000,
to $825,000 for the year ended December 31, 2018 as compared to
$1,046,000 for the year ended December 31, 2017. The decrease in
service revenue is primarily due to a decrease in hosting revenue
of $181,000 and a $40,000 decrease in EPTA revenue due to decrease
in outstanding receivables.
Cost of Service Revenue
Cost of
service revenue consists primarily of bandwidth, customer service
costs, and credit card processing fees. Cost of service revenue
increased 12% or $13,000, to $119,000 for the year ended December
31, 2018 as compared to $106,000 for the year ended December 31,
2017. The increase in cost of revenue is primarily related to an
increase in customer service costs of $20,000, offset by a decrease
in credit card fees of $5,000 and a decrease in web domain costs of
$2,000, both directly related to decrease in revenue.
Research
and Development
Research and
development expenses primarily consist of salaries and benefits,
and related expenses which are attributable to the development of
our website development software products. Research and development
expenses decreased 4% or $1,000, to $25,000 for the year ended
December 31, 2018 as compared to $26,000 for the year ended
December 31, 2017. The decrease was primarily related to a
reduction in the allocation of salaries and benefits
expenses.
General and Administrative
General
and administrative expenses consist of salaries and benefits for
executives, administrative personnel, legal, rent, accounting,
other professional services, and other administrative corporate
expenses. General and administrative expenses decreased 33% or
$135,000, to $274,000 for the year ended December 31, 2018 as
compared to $409,000 for the year ended December 31, 2017. The
decrease in general and administrative expenses is primarily due to
less of an allocation of corporate general and administrative
expenses resulting from the 21% decrease in service revenue for the
year ended December 31, 2018. Consolidated general and
administrative expenses increased less than 1%, or $19,000 to
$4,091,000 for the year ended December 31, 2018 compared to
$4,072,000 for the year ended December 31, 2017. As Web Services
segment revenue continues to decrease and Cloud Telecommunications
segment revenue continues to increase, a higher percentage of
general and administrative costs are being allocated to the Cloud
Telecommunications segment. The increase in consolidated general
and administrative expenses is primarily due to an increase in
accounting and other professional services of $104,000, an increase
in computer supplies and office equipment of $75,000, an increase
in administrative salaries and benefits of $42,000, an increase in
repairs and maintenance of $29,000, and an increase in other
administrative corporate expenses of $11,000, offset by a decrease
in stock options expense of $159,000 and a decrease in software
expense of $83,000.
Other Income/(Expense)
Other
income/(expense) primarily relates to interest income from the
collection of EPTA receivables, foreign exchange gains or losses,
and the allocated portions of interest expense and sublease rental
income. Other expense increased 40% or $2,000, to $7,000 for the
year ended December 31, 2018 as compared to $5,000 for the year
ended December 31, 2017. The increase is due to a decrease in net
foreign exchange gains of $19,000 and a $3,000 decrease in interest
income from the collection of EPTAs, offset by a decrease in
allocated interest expense of $20,000 primarily related to the
related party note payable, which was substantially paid off in
September 2017.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
As of
December 31, 2018 and 2017, we had cash and cash equivalents of
$1,849,000 and $1,282,000, respectively. Changes in cash and cash
equivalents are dependent upon changes in, among other things,
working capital items such as contract liabilities, contract costs,
accounts payable, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses, and
various accrued expenses, as well as purchases of property and
equipment and changes in our capital and financial structure due to
debt repayments and issuances, stock option exercises, sales of
equity investments and similar events. We believe that our
operations along with existing liquidity sources will satisfy our
cash requirements for at least the next 12 months. If the
assumptions underlying our business plan regarding future revenue
and expenses change or if unexpected opportunities or needs arise,
we may seek to raise additional cash by selling equity or debt
securities.
Working Capital
Working
capital increased 44% or $401,000 to $1,322,000 as of December 31,
2018 as compared to $921,000 as of December 31, 2017. The increase
in working capital was related to an increase in cash and cash
equivalents of $567,000, an increase in trade receivables, net of
allowance for doubtful accounts of $47,000, an increase in contract
assets of $9,000, an increase in inventories of $139,000, an
increase in income tax receivable of $1,000, and a decrease in
notes payable, current portion, of $13,000, offset by a decrease in
equipment financing receivables of $49,000, a decrease in contract
costs of $8,000, a decrease in prepaid expenses of $7,000, a
decrease in other current assets of $10,000, an increase in
accounts payable of $76,000, an increase in accrued expenses of
$170,000, an increase in capital lease obligations, current portion
of $28,000, and an increase in contract liabilities, current
portion, of $27,000.
Cash, Cash Equivalents, and Restricted Cash
Cash,
cash equivalents, and restricted cash increased 41% or $567,000, to
$1,949,000 as of December 31, 2018 as compared to $1,382,000 as of
December 31, 2017. During the year ended December 31, 2018,
operating activities provided $452,000. Financing activities
provided $122,000, primarily related to proceeds from stock option
exercises of $155,000 and proceeds from notes payable of $130,000,
offset by repayments on notes payable of $153,000, and repayments
on the capital lease of $10,000. Cash used for investing activities
was $7,000, related to the purchase of equipment in the second
quarter of 2018.
Inventories
Inventories
increased 106% or $139,000 to $270,000 as of December 31, 2018 as
compared to $131,000 as of December 31, 2017. Inventory balances
fluctuate based on timing of installations and inventory shipments.
A large inventory shipment was received in the fourth quarter of
2018.
Prepaid Expenses
Prepaid
expenses decreased 3% or $7,000 to $244,000 as of December 31, 2018
as compared to $251,000 as of December 31, 2017.
Trade Receivables
Current
and long-term trade receivables, net of allowance for doubtful
accounts, increased 6% or $26,000, to $429,000 as of December 31,
2018 as compared to $403,000 as of December 31, 2017. Current trade
receivables, net of allowance for doubtful accounts, increased 13%
or $47,000, to $419,000 as of December 31, 2018 as compared to
$372,000 as of December 31, 2017. The increase in current trade
receivables can be attributed to an unpaid down payment invoice for
seven new locations for an existing customer. Long-term trade
receivables, net of allowance for doubtful accounts, decreased 68%
or $21,000, to $10,000 as of December 31, 2018 as compared to
$31,000 as of December 31, 2017. The decrease is primarily due to
the write-off of uncollectible accounts.
Accounts Payable and Accrued Expenses
Accounts payable
increased 96% or $76,000, to $155,000 as of December 31, 2018 as
compared to $79,000 as of December 31, 2017. The aging of accounts
payable as of December 31, 2018 and 2017 were generally within our
vendors’ terms of payment. The increase is primarily related
to the timing of the check processing schedule.
Accrued
expenses increased 18% or $170,000 to $1,131,000 as of December 31,
2018 as compared to $961,000 as of December 31, 2017. Sales tax
accrual increased $137,000, partner commissions accrual increased
$63,000, salaries and benefits accrual increased $24,000, accrued
audit and tax preparation fees increased $24,000, and warranty
reserve increased $16,000, offset by a $61,000 decrease in accrued
accounts payable, a $27,000 decrease in accrued sales bonuses, and
a decrease in other accrued expenses of $6,000.
Notes Payable
Notes
payables decreased 29% or $23,000, to $56,000 as of December 31,
2018 as compared to $79,000 at December 31, 2017. The decrease in
notes payable can be attributed to payments made on financing
contracts of $153,000, offset by additional financing arrangements
entered into during the period of $130,000.
Capital Lease
Capital
lease obligations increased $144,000, to $144,000 as of December
31, 2018 as compared to $0 at December 31, 2017. The company
entered into a $154,000 capital lease in the second quarter of 2018
for data center hardware, installation and support, offset by
repayments of $10,000.
Contract Liabilities
Contract
liabilities increased 8% or $75,000 to $1,063,000 as of December
31, 2018 as compared to $988,000 as of December 31, 2017. The
increase is primarily due to one customer paying their entire 60
month agreement upfront and for an increase in down payments on
jobs that have not installed yet, offset by a reclassification to
revenue for installations completed during the period.
Capital
Total
stockholders’ equity increased 23% or $370,000, to $2,000,000
as of December 31, 2018 as compared to $1,630,000 as of December
31, 2017. The increase in total stockholders’ equity was
attributable to an increase in additional paid-in capital of
$438,000 for stock options issued to employees and $155,000 for
proceeds from the exercise of stock options, offset by a net loss
of $223,000.
OFF BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

December 31, 2018, we are not involved in any off-balance sheet
arrangements, as defined in Item 303(a)(4)(ii) of SEC Regulation

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting
Firm
To
the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Crexendo,
Inc.
Tempe, AZ
Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of
Crexendo, Inc. and subsidiaries (the "Company") as of December 31,
2018 and 2017, the related consolidated statements of operations,
stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the years then
ended, and the related notes and financial statement schedule
listed in the accompanying index (collectively referred to as the
“consolidated financial statements”). In our opinion,
the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of the Company and
subsidiaries at December 31, 2018 and 2017, and the results of
their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of
the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on the Company’s consolidated financial statements
based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered
with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States)
(“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with
respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal
securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the
PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit
to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated
financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due
to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we
engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial
reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an
understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not
for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of
the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of
material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements,
whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that
respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a
test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the
consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included
evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation
of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our
audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

We have served as the Company's auditor since 2016.

CREXENDO, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
1.
Description
of Business and Significant Accounting Policies
Description of Business - Crexendo, Inc.
is incorporated in the state of Nevada. As used hereafter in the
notes to consolidated financial statements, we refer to Crexendo,
Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries, as “we,”
“us,” or “our Company.” Crexendo is a
next-generation CLEC and an award-winning leader and provider of
unified communications cloud telecom services, broadband Internet
services, and other cloud business services that are designed to
provide enterprise-class cloud services to any size business at
affordable monthly rates. The Company has two operating segments,
which consist of Cloud Telecommunications and Web
Services.
Basis of Presentation
– The consolidated financial statements include
the accounts and operations of Crexendo, Inc. and its wholly owned
subsidiaries, which include Crexendo Business Solutions, Inc. and
Crexendo International, Inc. All intercompany account balances and
transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The
consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance
with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“US
GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC.
These consolidated financial statements reflect the results of
operations, financial position, changes in stockholders’
equity, and cash flows of our Company.
Certain
prior year amounts have been reclassified for consistency with the
current period presentation. These reclassifications had no effect
on the reported results of operations.
Cash and Cash
Equivalents -
We consider all highly liquid,
short-term investments with maturities of three months or less at
the time of purchase to be cash equivalents. As of December 31,
2018 and 2017, we had cash and cash equivalents in financial
institutions in excess of federally insured limits in the amount of
$1,645,000 and $1,038,000, respectively.
Restricted Cash – We classified
$100,000 and $100,000 as restricted cash as of December 31, 2018
and 2017, respectively. Cash is restricted for compensating balance
requirements on purchasing card agreements. As of December 31, 2018
and 2017, we had restricted cash in financial institutions in
excess of federally insured limits in the amount of $100,000 and
$100,000, respectively.

Trade Receivables – Trade
receivables from our cloud telecommunications and web services
segments are recorded at invoiced amounts.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts –
The allowance represents estimated losses resulting from
customers’ failure to make required payments. The allowance
estimate is based on historical collection experience, specific
identification of probable bad debts based on collection efforts,
aging of trade receivables, customer payment history, and other
known factors, including current economic conditions. We believe
that the allowance for doubtful accounts is adequate based on our
assessment to date, however, actual collection results may differ
materially from our expectations.
Contract Assets – Contract assets
primarily relate to the Company’s rights to consideration for
work completed but not billed as of the reporting date. The
contract assets are transferred to receivables when the rights
become unconditional.
Contract Costs – Contract costs
primarily relate to incremental commission costs paid to sales
representatives and sales leadership as a result of obtaining
telecommunications contracts which are recoverable. The Company
capitalized contract costs in the amount of $713,000 and $743,000
at December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively.
Capitalized commission costs are amortized based on the transfer of
goods or services to which the assets relate which typically range
from thirty-six to sixty months, and are included in selling and
marketing expenses. During the year ended December 31, 2018 and
2017, the Company amortized $476,000 and $410,000, respectively,
and there was no impairment loss in relation to the costs
capitalized.
Inventory – Finished goods
telecommunications equipment inventory is stated at the lower of
cost or net realizable value (first-in, first-out method). In
accordance with applicable accounting guidance, we regularly
evaluate whether inventory is stated at the lower of cost or net
realizable value. If net realizable value is less than cost, the
write-down is recognized as a loss in earnings in the period in
which the excess occurs.
Property and Equipment - Depreciation
and amortization expense is computed using the straight-line method
in amounts sufficient to allocate the cost of depreciable assets
over their estimated useful lives ranging from two to five years.
The cost of leasehold improvements is amortized using the
straight-line method over the shorter of the estimated useful life
of the asset or the term of the related lease. Depreciation expense
is included in general and administrative expenses and totaled
$20,000 and $10,000 for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017,
respectively. Depreciable lives by asset group are as
follows:
Computer and office equipment
|
2 to 5 years
|
Computer software
|
3 years
|
Furniture and fixtures
|
4 years
|
Leasehold improvements
|
2 to 5 years
|
Maintenance and
repairs are expensed as incurred. The cost and accumulated
depreciation of property and equipment sold or otherwise retired
are removed from the accounts and any related gain or loss on
disposition is reflected in the statement of
operations.
Goodwill – Goodwill is tested for
impairment using a fair-value-based approach on an annual basis
(December 31) and between annual tests if indicators of potential
impairment exist.
Intangible Assets - Our intangible
assets consist primarily of customer relationships. The intangible
assets are amortized following the patterns in which the economic
benefits are consumed. We periodically review the estimated useful
lives of our intangible assets and review these assets for
impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate
that the carrying value of the assets may not be recoverable. The
determination of impairment is based on estimates of future
undiscounted cash flows. If an intangible asset is considered to be
impaired, the amount of the impairment will be equal to the excess
of the carrying value over the fair value of the
asset.
Contract Liabilities – Our
contract liabilities consist primarily of advance consideration
received from customers for telecommunications contracts. The
product and monthly service revenue is recognized on completion of
the implementation and the remaining activation fees are
reclassified as deferred revenue.
Use of Estimates - In preparing the
consolidated financial statements, management makes assumptions,
estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets
and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities
at the dates of the consolidated financial statements and the
reported amounts of net sales and expenses during the reported
periods. Specific estimates and judgments include
valuation of goodwill and intangible assets in connection with
business acquisitions, allowances for doubtful accounts,
uncertainties related to certain income tax benefits, valuation of
deferred income tax assets, valuations of share-based payments and
recoverability of long-lived assets. Management’s
estimates are based on historical experience and on our
expectations that are believed to be reasonable. The
combination of these factors forms the basis for making judgments
about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not
readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may
differ from our current estimates and those differences may be
material.
Product and Service Revenue Recognition
- Revenue is recognized upon transfer of control of promised
products or services to customers in an amount that reflects the
consideration we expect to receive in exchange for those products
or services and excludes any amounts collected on behalf of third
parties. We enter into contracts that can include various
combinations of products and services, which are generally capable
of being distinct and accounted for as separate performance
obligations. We recognize revenue for delivered elements only when
we determine there are no uncertainties regarding customer
acceptance. Changes in the allocation of the sales price between
delivered and undelivered elements can impact the timing of revenue
recognized but does not change the total revenue recognized on any
agreement. Revenue is recognized net of any taxes collected from
customers, which are subsequently remitted to governmental
authorities. For more detailed information about revenue, see Note
3.
Cost of Service Revenue – Cost of
service includes Cloud Telecommunications and Web Services cost of
service revenue. Cloud Telecommunications cost of service revenue
primarily consists of fees we pay to third-party telecommunications
and broadband Internet providers, costs of other third party
services we resell, personnel and travel expenses related to system
implementation, and customer service. Web Services cost of service
revenue consists primarily of customer service costs and
outsourcing fees related to fulfillment of our professional web
management services.
Cost of Product Revenue – Cost of
product revenue primarily consists of the costs associated with the
purchase of desktop devices and other third party equipment we
purchase for resale.
Product Warranty – We provide for
the estimated cost of product warranties at the time we recognize
revenue. We evaluate our warranty obligations on a product group
basis. Our standard product warranty terms generally include
post-sales support and repairs or replacement of a product at no
additional charge for a specified period of time. We base our
estimated warranty obligation upon warranty terms, ongoing product
failure rates, and current period product shipments. If actual
product failure rates, repair rates or any other post-sales support
costs were to differ from our estimates, we would be required to
make revisions to the estimated warranty liability. Warranty terms
generally last for the duration that the customer has service. For
2018, the annual warranty provision and actual warranty costs were
approximately 1.1% of annual net product revenue.
Research and Development - Research and
development costs are expensed as incurred. Costs related to
internally developed software are expensed as research and
development expense until technological feasibility has been
achieved, after which the costs are capitalized.
Fair Value Measurements - The fair value
of our financial assets and liabilities was determined based on
three levels of inputs, of which the first two are considered
observable and the last unobservable, that may be used to measure
fair value which are the following:
Level 1 — Unadjusted quoted
prices that are available in active markets for the identical
assets or liabilities at the measurement date.
Level 2 — Other observable inputs
available at the measurement date, other than quoted prices
included in Level 1, either directly or indirectly,
including:
●
Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active
markets;
●
Quoted prices for identical or similar assets in non-active
markets;
●
Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset
or liability; and
●
Inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by other
observable market data.
Level 3 — Unobservable inputs
that cannot be corroborated by observable market data and reflect
the use of significant management judgment. These values are
generally determined using pricing models for which the assumptions
utilize management’s estimates of market participant
assumptions.
Lease Obligations – At the
inception of each lease, we evaluate the lease terms to determine
whether the lease will be accounted for as an operating or capital
lease. A lease that transfers substantially all of the benefits and
risks incidental to ownership of property are accounted for as
capital leases. At the inception of a capital lease, an asset and
payment obligation is recorded at an amount equal to the lesser of
the present value of the minimum lease payments and the
property’s fair market value. Capital lease obligations are
classified as either short or long-term based on the due dates of
future minimum lease payments, net of interest. All other leases
are accounted for as operating leases and the related lease
payments are charged to expenses as incurred.
Notes Payable – We record notes
payable net of any discounts or premiums. Discounts and premiums
are amortized as interest expense or income over the life of the
note in such a way as to result in a constant rate of interest when
applied to the amount outstanding at the beginning of any given
period.
Income Taxes - We recognize a liability
or asset for the deferred tax consequences of all temporary
differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and
their reported amounts in the consolidated financial statements
that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in future years
when the reported amounts of the assets and liabilities are
recovered or settled. Accruals for uncertain tax positions are
provided for in accordance with accounting guidance. Accordingly,
we may recognize the tax benefits from an uncertain tax position
only if it is more-likely-than-not that the tax position will be
sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the
technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in
the financial statements from such a position should be measured
based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood
of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Accounting guidance is
also provided on de-recognition of income tax assets and
liabilities, classification of current and deferred income tax
assets and liabilities, accounting for interest and penalties
associated with tax positions, and income tax disclosures. Judgment
is required in assessing the future tax consequences of events that
have been recognized in the financial statements or tax returns.
Variations in the actual outcome of these future tax consequences
could materially impact our financial position, results of
operations, and cash flows. In assessing the need for a valuation
allowance, we evaluate all significant available positive and
negative evidence, including historical operating results,
estimates of future taxable income and the existence of prudent and
feasible tax planning strategies. We have placed a full valuation
allowance on net deferred tax assets.
Interest and
penalties associated with income taxes are classified as income tax
expense in the consolidated statements of operations.
Stock-Based Compensation - For equity-classified awards,
compensation expense is recognized over the requisite service
period based on the computed fair value on the grant date of the
award. Equity classified awards include the issuance of
stock options.
Comprehensive Income/(Loss) –
There were no other components of comprehensive income/(loss) other
than net loss for the years ended December 31, 2018 and
2017.
Operating Segments
- Accounting guidance
establishes standards for the way public business enterprises are
to report information about operating segments in annual financial
statements and requires enterprises to report selected information
about operating segments in financial reports issued to
stockholders. The Company has two operating segments, which consist
of Cloud Telecommunications and Web Services. Research and
development expenses are allocated to Cloud Telecommunications and
Web Services segments based on the level of effort, measured
primarily by wages and benefits attributed to our engineering
department. Indirect sales and marketing expenses are
allocated to the Cloud Telecommunications and Web Services segments
based on level of effort, measured by month-to-date contract
bookings. General and administrative expenses are
allocated to both segments based on revenue recognized for each
segment. Accounting guidance also establishes standards for related
disclosure about products and services, geographic areas and major
customers. We generate over 90% of our total revenue from customers
within North America (United States and Canada) and less than 10%
of our total revenues from customers in other parts of the
world.
Significant Customers
– No customer accounted for 10%
or more of our total revenue for the years ended December 31, 2018
and 2017. One telecommunications services customer accounted for
22% and 11% of total trade accounts receivable as of December 31,
2018 and 2017, respectively.
Recently Adopted
Accounting Pronouncements - In July 2015, the Financial
Accounting Standards Board (“FASB) issued ASU 2015-11,
Inventory, which will
require an entity to measure in scope inventory at the lower of
cost and net realizable value. Net realizable value is the
estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less
reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and
transportation. Subsequent measurement is unchanged for inventory
measured using LIFO or the retail inventory method. The amendments
do not apply to inventory that is measured using last-in, first-out
(LIFO) or the retail inventory method. The amendments apply to all
other inventory, which includes inventory that is measured using
first-in, first-out (FIFO) or average cost. We adopted this
guidance effective January 1, 2017. The adoption of this guidance
did not have an impact on our consolidated financial
statements.
In
January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805) Clarifying
the Definition of a Business, that provides guidance to
assist entities with evaluating when a set of transferred assets
and activities (set) is a business. Under the new guidance, an
entity first determines whether substantially all of the fair value
of the gross assets acquired is concentrated in a single
identifiable asset or a group of similar identifiable assets. If
this threshold is met, the set is not a business. If it’s not
met, the entity then evaluates whether the set meets the
requirement that a business include, at a minimum, an input and a
substantive process that together significantly contribute to the
ability to create outputs. Under today’s guidance, it
doesn’t matter whether all the value relates primarily to one
asset. Under ASU 2017-01, a set is not a business when
substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired is
concentrated in a single identifiable asset or a group of similar
identifiable assets. The ASU includes guidance on which types of
assets can and cannot be combined into a single identifiable asset
or a group of similar identifiable assets for the purpose of
applying the threshold. The ASU is effective for fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those
years. We adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2018. The
adoption of this guidance did not have an impact on our
consolidated financial statements.
In
November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230):
Restricted Cash, which requires that a statement of cash flows
explain the change during the period in the total of cash, cash
equivalents, and amounts generally described as restricted cash or
restricted cash equivalents. As a result, amounts generally
described as restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents should
be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the
beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the
statement of cash flows. We adopted the new accounting standards
effective January 1, 2018. Amounts generally described as
restricted cash are now presented with cash and cash equivalents
when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total
amounts shown on the statement of cash flows. As a result of
adoption, there was no impact to cash flows from operating,
investing or financing activities for the nine months ended
September 30, 2018 and 2017. A reconciliation of cash and cash
equivalents and restricted cash presented on the balance sheet to
the totals presented in the statement of cash flows as cash, cash
equivalents, and restricted cash has been added to the footnote
disclosures, see Note 1.
In
August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230):
Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash
Payments, which amends ASC
230, to clarify guidance on the classification of certain cash
receipts and payments in the statement of cash flows. The changes
to the classification of how certain cash receipts and payments are
presented within the statement of cash flows had no impact on our
consolidated financial statements.
The
adoption of these new ASUs required us to restate the previously
reported cash and cash equivalent amounts reported in prior periods
to include restricted cash, see Note 2-Changes in Accounting
Principles.
In June
2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-12, Compensation – Stock
Compensation, which requires that a performance target that
affects vesting and could be achieved after the requisite service
period be treated as a performance condition. A reporting entity
should apply existing guidance in ASC 718, Compensation-Stock
Compensation, as it relates to such awards. ASU 2014-12 is
effective for us in our first quarter of fiscal 2017 with early
adoption permitted using either of two methods: (i) prospective to
all awards granted or modified after the effective date; or (ii)
retrospective to all awards with performance targets that are
outstanding as of the beginning of the earliest annual period
presented in the financial statements and to all new or modified
awards thereafter, with the cumulative effect of applying ASU
2014-12 as an adjustment to the opening retained earnings balance
as of the beginning of the earliest annual period presented in the
financial statements. The Company adopted ASU 2014-12 effective
January 1, 2017. The adoption of this ASU did not impact our
consolidated financial statements, as there are no performance
targets associated with outstanding awards.
In May
2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers.
The objective of ASU 2014-09 is to establish a single comprehensive
model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from
contracts with customers. The Company adopted this guidance on
January 1, 2018 utilizing the full retrospective method of adoption
allowed by the standard, in order to provide for comparative
results in all periods presented. Under the standard, revenue is
recognized when a customer obtains control of promised goods or
services in an amount that reflects the consideration the entity
expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. In
addition, the standard requires disclosure of the nature, amount,
timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from
contracts with customers. We elected to adopt the standard
effective January 1, 2018, using the full retrospective
method, which required us to restate each prior reporting period
presented, see Note 2-Changes in Accounting Principles. The most
significant impact of the standard relates to our accounting for
incremental costs to obtain a contract and principal versus agent
considerations. Specifically, incremental sales leadership
commissions were expensed immediately rather than ratably over the
term of the related contracts. Revenue from the resell of broadband
Internet services and professional website management services were
recognized on a gross basis as a principal rather than on net basis
as an agent. The new standard focuses on control of the specified
goods and service as the overarching principle and the Company does
not control the delivery of the goods and services. Revenue
recognition related to our hardware, telecommunications services
and website hosting services remains substantially unchanged. See
Note 2 for disclosures related to changes in accounting
policies.
In May
2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09, Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic
718): Scope of Modification Accounting, the amendments
provide guidance on determining which changes to the terms and
conditions of share-based payment awards require an entity to apply
modification accounting under Topic 718. Effective for all entities
for annual periods, including interim periods within those annual
periods, beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company adopted ASU
2017-09 effective January 1, 2018. The adoption of this ASU did not
impact our consolidated financial statements.
Recently Issued
Accounting Pronouncements - In August 2018, the FASB issued
ASU 2018-13, which changes the fair value measurement
disclosure requirements of ASC 820. The amendments in this ASU are
the result of a broader disclosure project called FASB
Concepts Statement, Conceptual Framework for Financial
Reporting — Chapter 8: Notes to Financial Statements, which
the Board finalized in August 2018. The Board used the
guidance in the Concepts Statement to improve
the effectiveness of ASC 820’s disclosure requirements.
The ASU is effective for all entities for fiscal years beginning
after December 15, 2019, including interim periods therein.
Early adoption is permitted. The Company is in the process of
evaluating the impact of this new ASU on our consolidated financial
statements.
In
August 2018, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU)
2018-07, to simplify the accounting for share-based payments to
nonemployees by aligning it with the accounting for share-based
payments to employees, with certain exceptions. The new guidance
expands the scope of Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 718 to
include share-based payments granted to nonemployees in exchange
for goods or services used or consumed in an entity’s own
operations and supersedes the guidance in ASC 505-50. The guidance
also applies to awards granted by an investor to employees and
nonemployees of an equity method investee for goods or services
used or consumed in the investee’s operations. The guidance
in ASC 718 does not apply to instruments issued to a lender or an
investor in a financing (e.g., in a capital raising) transaction.
It also does not apply to equity instruments granted when selling
goods or services to customers in the scope of ASC 606. However,
the guidance states that share-based payments granted to a customer
in exchange for a distinct good or service to be used or consumed
in the grantor’s own operations are accounted for under ASC
718. The guidance is effective for public business entities (PBEs)
in annual periods beginning after December 15 2018, and interim
periods within those annual periods. The Company is in the process
of evaluating the impact of this new ASU on our consolidated
financial statements.
In July
2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-11 to provide entities with relief
from the costs of implementing certain aspects of the new
leasing standard, ASU 2016-02 (codified as ASC 842).
Specifically, under the amendments in ASU 2018-11:
●
Entities may elect
not to recast the comparative periods presented when
transitioning to ASC 842 (Issue 1).
●
Lessors may elect
not to separate lease and non-lease components when
certain conditions are met (Issue 2).
These
amendments are consistent with the tentative decisions that the
Board made at its November 29, 2017, meeting and further
refined at its March 7, 2018, and March 28,
2018, meetings. In addition, on July 19, 2018, the FASB
issued ASU 2018-10, which made 16 separate amendments to ASC
842. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of this
new ASU on our consolidated financial statements.
In July
2018, the FASB has issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU)
2018-10, “Codification Improvements to Topic 842,
Leases.” The clarifications address the rate implicit in the
lease, impairment of the net investment in the lease, lessee
reassessment of lease classification, lessor reassessment of lease
term and purchase options, variable payments that depend on an
index or rate and certain transition adjustments. The amendments
have the same effective date and transition requirements as the new
leases standard. The Company is in the process of evaluating the
impact of this new ASU on our consolidated financial
statements.
In
January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic
350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment, which
eliminates Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. The annual, or
interim, goodwill impairment test is performed by comparing the
fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An
impairment charge should be recognized for the amount by which the
carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value;
however, the loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of
goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. In addition, income tax
effects from any tax deductible goodwill on the carrying amount of
the reporting unit should be considered when measuring the goodwill
impairment loss, if applicable. The amendments also eliminate the
requirements for any reporting unit with a zero or negative
carrying amount to perform a qualitative assessment and, if it
fails that qualitative test, to perform Step 2 of the goodwill
impairment test. An entity still has the option to perform the
qualitative assessment for a reporting unit to determine if the
quantitative impairment test is necessary. This guidance is
effective for annual or any interim goodwill impairment tests in
fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is
permitted. ASU 2017-04 should be adopted on a prospective basis.
The Company is in the process of evaluating the potential impact of
this new ASU on our consolidated financial statements.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU
2016-02, Leases, in order to increase transparency and
comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and
lease liabilities on the balance sheet for those leases classified
as operating leases under previous Generally Accepted Accounting
Principles (“GAAP”). The ASU 2016-02 requires that a
lessee should recognize a liability to make lease payments (the
lease liability) and a right-of-use asset representing its right to
use the underlying asset for the lease term on the balance
sheet. In July 2018, the FASB
issued ASU 2018-10, Codification Improvements to
Topic 842, Leases, to clarify
how to apply certain aspects of the new leases standard. In July
2018, the FASB also issued ASU 2018-11, Leases (Topic 842): Targeted
Improvements, to give entities
another option for transition and to provide lessors with a
practical expedient to reduce the cost and complexity of
implementing the new standard. The transition option allows
entities to not apply the new leases standard in the comparative
periods they present in their financial statements in the year of
adoption. In December 2018, the FASB’s issued ASU 2018-20,
Leases (Topic
842): Narrow Scope Improvements for Lessors, which simplifies how lessors implement the new
leasing guidance in ASC 842, Leases. ASU
2018-20 amends the guidance in ASC 842 as follows; lessors may
elect to account for sales and other similar taxes collected from
lessees as lessee costs and to exclude them from the consideration
in the contract and from variable payments not included in the
consideration in the contract, lessors should exclude from variable
payments, and therefore from revenue, all costs paid by lessees
directly to third parties, and lessors should allocate certain
variable payments to lease and nonlease components when the facts
and circumstances that trigger the variable payments
occur. ASU 2016-02
is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018
(including interim periods within those periods) using a modified
retrospective approach and early adoption is permitted. The Company
is in the process of evaluating the impact of this new ASU on our
consolidated financial statements.

Changes
in Accounting Principles
Except
for the changes below, the Company has consistently applied the
accounting principles to all periods presented in these
consolidated financial statements. The Company adopted Topic 606
Revenue from Contracts with Customers with a date of the initial
application of January 1, 2018. As a result, the Company has
changed its accounting policies for revenue recognition as detailed
below.
The
Company applied Topic 606 retrospectively using the practical
expedient in paragraph 606-10-65-1(f)(3), under which the Company
does not disclose the amount of consideration allocated to the
remaining performance obligations or an explanation of when the
Company expects to recognize that amount as revenue for all
reporting periods presented before the date of the initial
application – i.e. January 1, 2018. The details of the
significant changes and quantitative impact of the changes are
disclosed below.
A.
Commission fees
payable
The
Company previously recognized management level indirect sales
commission expense related to contracts as selling expenses when
they were incurred. Under Topic 606, the Company capitalizes those
commission fees as costs of obtaining a contract, when they are
incremental and, if they are expected to be recovered, it amortizes
them consistently with the pattern of transfer of the good or
service over the specific contract life or the average contract
life for the group of contracts that resulted in the achievement of
the sales commissions. If the expected amortization period is one
year or less, the commission fee is expensed when incurred. The
adoption of this new accounting policy resulted in a cumulative
adjustment to the accumulated deficit related to the incremental
contract acquisition cost that was previously expensed being
capitalized. Refer to Impacts to Previously Reported Results below
for the impact of adoption of the standard on our consolidated
financial statements.
B.
Principal versus
agent considerations
For the
majority of our contracts, we expect no changes. We have certain
contracts where we recognize revenue from reselling third party
products and services, such as broadband Internet access and
professional website management services as a principal on a gross
basis. Under Topic 606, the Company recognizes revenue on a net
basis as an agent. The new standard focuses on control of the
specified goods and service as the overarching principle and the
Company does not control the delivery of the goods and services.
The adoption of this new accounting policy required us to restate
certain previously reported results, including the reduction of
service revenue and related cost of service revenue. There was no
impact on the accumulated deficit as a result of any changes to our
current policy. Refer to Impacts to Previously Reported Results
below for the impact of adoption of the standard on our
consolidated financial statements.
The
Company adopted ASU 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230):
Restricted Cash, which requires that a statement of cash flows
explain the change during the period in the total of cash, cash
equivalents, and amounts generally described as restricted cash. As
a result, amounts generally described as restricted cash are
included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the
beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the
statement of cash flows. Refer to Impacts of Previously Reported
Results below for the impact of the standard on our consolidated
financial statements.
Impacts to Previously Reported Results
Adoption of the
standards related to revenue recognition and statement of cash
flows impacted our previously reported results as

Adoption of the
standards related to revenue recognition (Topic 606) and statement
of cash flows presentation of restricted cash (Topic 230) had no
impact to cash provided by or used for financing, or investing on
our consolidated statement of cash flows.
Revenue
is measured based on a consideration specified in a contract with a
customer, and excludes any sales incentives and amounts collected
on behalf of third parties. The Company recognizes revenue when it
satisfies a performance obligation by transferring control over a
product or service to a customer. Taxes assessed by a governmental
authority that are both imposed on and concurrent with a specific
revenue-producing transaction, that are collected by the Company
from a customer, are excluded from revenue. The following is a
description of principal activities – separated by reportable
segments – from which the Company generates its revenue. For
more detailed information about reportable segments, see Note
19.
Cloud Telecommunications Segment
Products and
services may be sold separately or in bundled packages. The typical
length of a contract for service is thirty-six to sixty months.
Customers are billed for these services on a monthly basis. For
bundled packages, the Company accounts for individual products and
services separately if they are distinct – i.e. if a product
or service is separately identifiable from other items in the
bundled package and if a customer can benefit from it on its own or
with other resources that are readily available to the customer.
The consideration (including any discounts) is allocated between
separate products and services in a bundle based on their relative
stand-alone selling prices. The stand-alone selling prices are
determined based on the prices at which the Company separately
sells the desktop devices and telecommunication services. For items
that are not sold separately (e.g. additional features) the Company
estimates stand-alone selling prices using the adjusted market
assessment approach. When we provide a free trial period, we do not
begin to recognize recurring revenue until the trial period has
ended and the customer has been billed for the
services.
Desktop Devices - Revenue
generated from the sale of telecommunications equipment (desktop
devices) is recognized when the customer takes possession of the
devices and the cloud telecommunications services begin. The
Company typically bills and collects the fees for the equipment
upon entering into a contract with a customer. Cash receipts are
recorded as a contract liability until implementation is complete
and the services begin.
Equipment Financing Revenue - Fees
generated from renting our cloud telecommunication equipment (IP or
cloud telephone desktop devices) through leasing contracts are
recognized as revenue based on whether the lease qualifies as an
operating lease or sales-type lease. The two primary accounting
provisions which we use to classify transactions as sales-type or
operating leases are: 1) lease term to determine if it is equal to
or greater than 75% of the economic life of the equipment and 2)
the present value of the minimum lease payments to determine if
they are equal to or greater than 90% of the fair market value of
the equipment at the inception of the lease. The economic life of
most of our products is estimated to be three years, since this
represents the most frequent contractual lease term for our
products, and there is no residual value for used equipment.
Residual values, if any, are established at the lease inception
using estimates of fair value at the end of the lease term. The
vast majority of our leases that qualify as sales-type leases are
non-cancelable and include cancellation penalties approximately
equal to the full value of the lease receivables. Leases that do
not meet the criteria for sales-type lease accounting are accounted
for as operating leases. Revenue from sales-type leases is
recognized upon installation and the interest portion is deferred
and recognized as earned. Revenue from operating leases in
recognized ratably over the applicable service period.
Cloud Telecommunications Services
- Telecommunication
services include voice, data, and collaboration software. The
Company recognizes revenue as services are provided in service
revenue. Telecommunications services are billed and paid on a
monthly basis.
Broadband Internet Access – Fees
generated from reselling broadband Internet access are recognized
as revenue net of the costs charged by the third party service
providers. Broadband Internet access services are billed and paid
on a monthly basis.
Professional Services Revenue –
Professional services revenue includes activation fees and any
professional installation services. Installation services are
recognized as revenue when the services are completed. The Company
generally allocates a portion of the activation fees to the desktop
devices, which is recognized at the time of the installation or
customer acceptance, and a portion to the service, which is
recognized over the contract term using the straight-line method.
Our telecommunications services contracts typically have a term of
thirty-six to sixty months.
Commission Revenue - We have affiliate
agreements with third-party entities that are resellers of
satellite television services and Internet service providers. We
receive commissions when the services are bundled with our
offerings and we recognize commission revenue when
received.
Web Services Segment
Website Hosting Service – Fees
generated from hosting customer websites are recognized as revenue
as the services are provided in service revenue. Website hosting
services are billed and collected on a monthly basis.
Professional Website Management Service
and Other– Fees
generated from reselling professional website management services
are recognized as revenue net of the costs charged by the third
party service providers. Professional website management services
are billed and paid on a monthly basis.
Disaggregation of Revenue
In the
following table, revenue is disaggregated by primary major product
line, and timing of revenue recognition. The table also includes a
reconciliation of the disaggregated revenue with the reportable
segments.

Net
Loss Per Common Share
Basic net loss per common share is computed by
dividing the net loss for the period by the weighted-average number
of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss
per common share is computed giving effect to all dilutive common
stock equivalents, consisting of common stock options and warrants.
Diluted net loss per common share for the year ended December 31,
2018 and 2017 is the same as basic net loss per common share as the
common share equivalents were anti-dilutive due to the net
loss. The following table sets forth the computation of
basic and diluted net loss per common share:

The
Company has recorded goodwill as a result of its business
acquisitions. Goodwill is recorded when the purchase price paid for
an acquisition exceeds the estimated fair value of the net
identified tangible and intangible assets acquired. In each of the
Company’s acquisitions, the objective of the acquisition was
to expand the Company’s product offerings and customer base
and to achieve synergies related to cross selling opportunities,
all of which contributed to the recognition of
goodwill
The
Company tests goodwill for impairment on an annual basis or more
frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that
goodwill might be impaired. The changes in the carrying amount of
goodwill for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 were as

Related Party Note Payable
On
December 30, 2015, Crexendo, Inc. (the "Company") entered into a
Term Loan Agreement (the "Loan Agreement"), with Steven G. Mihaylo,
as Trustee of The Steven G. Mihaylo Trust dated August 19, 1999
(the "Lender"). Mr. Mihaylo is the principal shareholder and Chief
Executive Officer of the Company. The term of the Loan is five
years, with simple interest paid at 9% per annum until a balloon
payment is due December 30, 2020. The Loan Agreement provides for
interest to be paid in shares of common stock of the Company (the
“Common Stock”) at a stock price of $1.20. For the
first two years of the Loan term, interest will be paid in advance
at the beginning of each year; for the last three years of the Loan
term, interest will be paid at the end of each year. After the
second year of the Loan term, there is no pre-payment penalty for
early repayment of the outstanding principal amount of the Loan. If
the Loan is repaid within the first two years of the Loan term, the
Company will forfeit prepaid interest as a pre-payment
penalty.
In
February 2017, the Company entered into a second amendment to our
Loan Agreement with Steven G. Mihaylo. The amendment extends the
ability of the Board of Directors to request the remaining $1.0
million available under the Loan Agreement if necessary to fund
operations through May 30, 2018. All other terms remain the same as
initial loan agreement.
In
September 2017, Steven G. Mihaylo exercised 444,999 options for a
total strike price of $974,000. In December 2017, Steven G. Mihaylo
exercised 12,001 options for a total strike price of $22,000. The
Company used the proceeds from the stock options exercise to repay
$996,000 of the $1.0 million outstanding related party note
payable. During the year ended December 31, 2017, the Company
accelerated the amortization of the debt discount in the amount of
$77,000 as a result of the repayment.
In
September 2018, the Company repaid the remaining $4,000 of the $1.0
million related party note payable.

The

the options granted is based on our historical share option
exercise experience. The risk-free interest rate is determined
using the yield available for zero-coupon U.S. government issues
with a remaining term equal to the expected life of the option. The
Company has not declared any dividends, therefore, it is assumed to
be zero.

During
the fiscal year ended June 30, 2002 (our fiscal year was
subsequently changed to December 31), we experienced a change in
ownership, as defined by the Internal Revenue Code, as amended (the
“Code”) under Section 382. A change of ownership occurs
when ownership of a company increases by more than 50 percentage
points over a three-year testing period of certain stockholders. As
a result of this ownership change we determined that our annual
limitation on the utilization of our federal pre-ownership change
net operating loss (“NOL”) carry-forwards is
approximately $461,000 per year. We will only be able to utilize
$5,761,000 of our pre-ownership change NOL carry-forwards and will
forgo utilizing $14,871,000 of our pre-ownership change NOL
carry-forwards as a result of this ownership change. We do not
account for forgone NOL carryovers in our deferred tax assets and
only account for the NOL carry-forwards that will not expire
unutilized as a result of the restrictions of Code Section
382.
As of
December 31, 2018, we had NOL and research and development tax
credit carry-forwards for U.S. federal income tax reporting
purposes of approximately $22,722,000 and $129,000 respectively.
$22,485,000 of the NOLs will begin to expire in 2020 through 2037,
and the remaining $237,000 of the NOLs will not expire. The
research and development credits will begin to expire in 2019
through 2020.
We also
have state NOL and research and development credit carry-forwards
of approximately $18,060,000 and $61,000 which expire on specified
dates as set forth in the rules of the various states to which the
carry-forwards relate.
We also
have foreign NOL carry-forwards of approximately $710,000 which
expire on specified dates as set forth in the rules of the various
countries in which the carry-forwards relate.
In
assessing the recovery of the deferred tax assets, we considered
whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of our
deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate
realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation
of future taxable income in the periods in which those temporary
differences become deductible. We considered the
scheduled reversals of future deferred tax liabilities, projected
future taxable income, from telecommunications services segment,
the suspension of the sale of product and services through the
direct mail seminar sales channel for our web services segment, and
tax planning strategies in making this assessment. As a
result, we determined it was more likely than not that the deferred
tax assets would not be realized as of December 31, 2018 and 2017;
accordingly, we recorded a full valuation allowance. The
valuation allowance for deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2018
and 2017 was $8,755,000 and $9,338,000
respectively.
On
December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (“Tax
Act”) was signed into law. The new law includes, among other
items, a permanent reduction to the U.S. corporate income tax rate
from 34% to 21% effective January 1, 2018. As a result of the
reduction of the corporate income tax rate to 21.0%, U.S. GAAP
requires companies to remeasure their deferred tax assets and
liabilities as of the date of enactment, with resulting tax effects
accounted for in the reporting period of enactment. The Company
remeasured deferred tax assets and liabilities based on the rates
at which they are expected to be utilized in the future. As a
result, our net deferred tax assets, without regard to the
valuation allowance, decreased by $4.5 million. This decrease was
offset by a corresponding decrease in our valuation allowance.
There was no charge to our income tax expense as a result of the
reduction in corporate income tax rate.
The net change in our valuation allowance was a
decrease of $583,000 for the year ended December 31, 2018 and an
increase of $5,472,000 for the year ended December 31, 2017.
Accounting guidance clarifies the accounting for
uncertain tax positions and requires companies to recognize the
impact of a tax position in their financial statements, if
that position is more likely than not of being sustained on audit,
based on the technical merits of the position.
Although we believe
our estimates are reasonable, there can be no assurance that the
final tax outcome of these matters will not be different from that
which we have reflected in our historical income tax provisions and
accruals. Such difference could have a material impact on our
income tax provision and operating results in the period in which
it makes such determination.
The
aggregate changes in the balance of unrecognized tax benefits
during the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 were as follows

provision in the consolidated statements of operations. There were
no accrued interest and penalties as of December 31, 2018 and 2017,
respectively.
Our
U.S. federal income tax returns for fiscal 2015 through 2018 are
open tax years. We also file in various states, with few
exceptions, we are no longer subject to state income tax
examinations by tax authorities for years prior to fiscal
2014.

Commitments
and Contingencies
Capital Lease Obligations
The
Company leases equipment and support under a capital lease
agreement which extends through 2023. The outstanding balance for
capital leases was $144,000 and $0 as of December 31, 2018 and
December 31, 2017, respectively. The Company recorded assets under
capital lease obligations of $129,000 and $0 as of December 31,
2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively. Related accumulated
depreciation totaled $15,000 and $0 as of December 31, 2018 and
December 31, 2017, respectively. The $25,000 support contract has
been classified as a prepaid expense that will be amortized over
the service period of 3 years. Amortization expense is included in
general and administrative expenses and totaled $8,000 and $0 for
the year ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The
interest rate on the capital lease obligation is 6.7% and interest
expense was $4,000 and $0 for the year ended December 31, 2018 and

We had one lease agreement in Reno, NV, which expired at the end of
the third quarter of 2018. The operating lease for our Reno, NV
office contained customary escalation clauses. Rental expense
incurred on operating leases for the year ended December 31, 2018
and 2017 was approximately $15,000 and $20,000,
respectively.
Sale-Leaseback
On
February 28, 2014, the Company sold and leased back the land,
building and furniture associated with the corporate headquarters
in Tempe, Arizona to a Company that is owned by the major
shareholder and CEO of the Company for $2.0 million in cash. The
Company recognized a deferred gain of $281,000 on sale-leaseback,
which was amortized over the initial lease term of 36 months to
offset rent expense. Deferred gain amortization for the years ended
December 31, 2018 and 2017 was $0 and $16,000,
respectively.
Effective March 1,
2017 the rent agreement was renewed for a three year term with rent
payable in cash. Rent expense incurred on the sale-leaseback during
the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 was $300,000 and
$288,000, respectively.

Legal Proceedings
From
time to time we receive inquiries from federal, state, city and
local government officials as well as the FCC and taxing
authorities in the various jurisdictions in which we operate. These
inquiries and investigations related primarily to our discontinued
seminar operations and concern compliance with various city,
county, state, and/or federal regulations involving sales,
representations made, customer service, refund policies, services
and marketing practices. We respond to these inquiries and have
generally been successful in addressing the concerns of these
persons and entities, without a formal complaint or charge being
made, although there is often no formal closing of the inquiry or
investigation. There can be no assurance that the ultimate
resolution of these or other inquiries and investigations will not
have a material adverse effect on our business or operations, or
that a formal complaint will not be initiated. We also receive
complaints and inquiries in the ordinary course of our business
from both customers and governmental and non-governmental bodies on
behalf of customers, and in some cases these customer complaints
have risen to the level of litigation. There can be no assurance
that the ultimate resolution of these matters will not have a

31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, for estimated losses resulting
from various legal proceedings in which we are engaged.
Attorney’s fees associated with the various legal proceedings
are expensed as incurred. We are also subject to various claims and
legal proceedings covering matters that arise in the ordinary
course of business. We believe that the resolution of these other

Employee
Benefit Plan
We have
established a retirement savings plan for eligible employees. The
plan allows employees to contribute a portion of their pre-tax
compensation in accordance with specified guidelines. For the years
ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, we contributed approximately
$115,000 and $111,000 to the retirement savings plan,
respectively.
Management has
chosen to organize the Company around differences based on its
products and services. Cloud Telecommunications segment generates
revenue from selling cloud telecommunication products and services
and broadband Internet services. Web Services segment generates
revenue from website hosting and other professional services. The
Company has two operating segments, which consist of Cloud
Telecommunications and Web Services. Segment revenue and
income/(loss) before income tax provision was as follows (in

CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND
FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our
management, with the participation of our chief executive officer
and chief financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our
disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13(a)-15(b)
under the Exchange Act, as the end of the period covered by this
annual report on Form 10-K.
Based
on this evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial
officer concluded that, as of December 31, 2018 our disclosure
controls and procedures are designed at a reasonable assurance
level and are effective to provided reasonable assurance that
information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or
submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized,
and reported within the time period specified in the SEC’s
rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and
communicated to our management, including our chief executive
officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate, to allow
timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There
were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting
that occurred during the year ended December 31, 2018 that have
materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect,
our internal control over financial reporting.
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) of the Exchange Act. Our management conducted an
evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over
financial reporting based on the framework in Internal Control-
Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring
Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 Framework). Based on
this assessment, management concluded that our internal control
over financial reporting was effective as of December 31,
2018.
Limitations of Effectiveness of Control and Procedures
In
designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures,
management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter
how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable
assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition,
the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the
fact that there are resource constraints and that management is
required to apply its judgment in evaluating the benefits of
possible controls and procedures relative to their
costs.
