Insights

TL;DR Bridgeline completed modest equity raises and shows recurring non-cash items and warrant valuation volatility; cash infusion is limited but extends runway.

The filing excerpts confirm gross proceeds of approximately $1.5 million (net $1.3 million) from a registered offering and approximately $720 thousand (net $700 thousand) from a private placement. Warrant liabilities experienced fair value changes, including a loss recognized in the three months ended June 30, 2025 and a $58 thousand loss for the nine months ended June 30, 2025. Intangible asset amortization and stock-based compensation are recurring charges with specified remaining amortization amounts. Leases have a weighted average remaining term of 2.2 years and a 10.9% discount rate. These items point to continued reliance on small equity financings and non-cash accounting volatility rather than operating cash generation in the excerpts provided.

TL;DR Board-level change and equity arrangements may affect shareholder dilution and governance dynamics.

The notes disclose the resignation of director Michael Taglich and describe rights, conversion caps and voting attributes of Series C and Series D preferred stock and related warrants, including conversion ownership limits of 4.99% (or 9.99% at holder election). The Board retains authority to issue preferred shares with varying rights. The filings also describe placement agent warrants and other equity-based compensation, including restricted stock grants to executives and directors. These disclosures are relevant for shareholders assessing potential dilution and governance influence from preferred issuances and warrant holders.

4. Fair Value Measurement and Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company’s financial instruments consist principally of accounts receivable, accounts payable, warrant liabilities, and long-term debt arrangements. The Company measures its financial assets and liabilities at fair value. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (i.e., exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Additionally, under U.S. GAAP, companies are required to provide disclosure and categorize assets and liabilities measured at fair value into one of three different levels depending on the assumptions (i.e., inputs) used in the valuation. Level 1 provides the most reliable measure of fair value while Level 3 generally requires significant management judgment. Financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input significant to the fair value measurement. The fair value hierarchy is defined as follows:

Level 1—Valuations are based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2—Valuations are based on quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, or quoted prices in markets that are not active for which significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly.

Level 3—Valuations are based on prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement. Inputs reflect management’s best estimate of what market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability at the measurement date.

The carrying value of the Company’s accounts receivable and accounts payable approximates fair value due to their short-term nature. As of June 30, 2025 and September 30, 2024, the aggregate fair values of long-term debts were $0.3 million and $0.5 million, respectively, with an aggregate carrying value of $0.3 million and $0.5 million, respectively. The fair value is based on interest rates that are currently available to the Company for issuance of debt with similar terms and remaining maturities. If measured at fair value in the financial statements, the debt would be classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

The Company’s warrant liabilities are measured at fair value at each reporting period with changes in fair value recognized in earnings during the period. The fair value of the Company’s warrant liabilities are valued utilizing Level 3 inputs. Warrant liabilities are valued using a Monte Carlo option-pricing model, which takes into consideration the volatilities of comparable public companies, due to the relatively low trading volume of the Company’s common stock. The Monte Carlo option-pricing model uses certain assumptions, including expected life and annual volatility. The range and weighted average volatilities of comparable public companies utilized was 23.7% - 86.3% and 46.0%, respectively, as of June 30, 2025, and 21.0% - 55.0% and 40.3%, respectively, as of September 30, 2024. The volatility utilized in the Monte Carlo option-pricing model was determined by weighing 60% to the Company-specific volatility and 40% on comparable public companies. The significant inputs and assumptions utilized were as follows:

	*As of June 30, 2025*						*As of September 30, 2024*
	*Montage Capital*			*Series D Preferred*			*Montage Capital*			*Series D Preferred*
Volatility		51.0	%		68.6	%		51.0	%		52.5	%
Risk-free rate		4.8	%		3.9	%		4.8	%		3.7	%
Stock price	$	1.39		$	1.39		$	1.15		$	1.15

The Company recognized a gain of $31 thousand and of $88 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, related to the change in fair value of warrant liabilities. The Company recognized a loss of $58 thousand and a gain of $81 thousand for the nine months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, related to the change in fair value of warrant liabilities. The changes in fair value of warrant liabilities were due to changes in inputs, primarily a change in the stock price, to the Monte Carlo option-pricing model.

8. Stockholders’ Equity

Under our Certificate of Incorporation, we are authorized, subject to limitations prescribed by Delaware law and our Charter, to issue up to 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock in one or more series, to establish from time to time the number of shares to be included in each series and to fix the designation, powers, preferences and rights of the shares of each series and any of its qualifications, limitations or restrictions. Our Board of Directors can increase or decrease the number of shares of any series, but not below the number of shares of that series then outstanding, without any further vote or action by our stockholders. Our Board of Directors may authorize the issuance of preferred stock with voting or conversion rights that could adversely affect the voting power or other rights of the holders of the common stock.

Series C Convertible Preferred Stock

The Company had designated 11,000 shares of its preferred stock as Series C Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series C Preferred Stock”). The shares of Series C Preferred Stock may be converted, at the option of the holder at any time, into such number of shares of common stock equal to (i) the number of shares of Series C Preferred Stock to be converted, multiplied by the stated value of $1,000 and (ii) divided by the conversion price in effect at the time of conversion. Series C Preferred Stock vote on an as-converted basis along with shares of the Company’s common stock, were not entitled to receive dividends, unless specifically declared by our Board of Directors, and in the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company the holders of Series C Preferred Stock were entitled to receive in preference to the holders of common stock, Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock and any other stock, the amount equal to the stated value per share of Series C Preferred Stock. The Company may not effect, and a holder will not be entitled to, convert the Series C Preferred Stock or exercise any Series C Preferred Warrants, which, upon giving effect to such conversion or exercise, would cause the aggregate number of shares of common stock beneficially owned by the Purchaser (together with its affiliates) to exceed 4.99% (or, at the election of the holder, 9.99%) of the number of shares of common stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the exercise.

On March 5, 2025, the Company entered into a Securities Redemption Agreement (the “Redemption Agreement”) with Michael Taglich and Claudia Taglich (the “Sellers”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to purchase and redeem from the Sellers: (i) all 350 shares of the Company’s Series C Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share; (ii) placement agent warrants to purchase an aggregate of 13,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share; and (iii) stock options issued on or before December 31, 2017, to purchase 108 shares of common stock (collectively, the “Securities”). The aggregate purchase price for the Securities was $332.5 thousand which was allocated first amongst the liability classified placement agent warrants based on the purchase date fair value, then no value was allocated to the options as the fair value was deemed to be insignificant and then, the remainder of the purchase price was allocated to the equity classified Series C Preferred Shares.

The Company accounted for the redemption of the Series C Preferred Stock as a return to the preferred stockholder measured as the difference between the (1) purchase price allocated to the Series C Preferred Stock of $331 thousand and (2) the carrying value of the Series C Preferred Stock, which was $0. The difference of $331 thousand was recognized as a reduction in additional paid-in capital, in the absence of retained earnings, and is included as a component of net loss attributable to common shareholders. As of June 30, 2025 and September 30, 2024, the Company had no shares of Series C Preferred Stock outstanding, and 350 shares of Series C Preferred Stock outstanding, respectively.

Amended and Restated Stock Incentive Plan

The Company has granted common stock, common stock warrants, and common stock option awards (the “Equity Awards”) to employees, consultants, advisors and former debt holders of the Company and to former owners and employees of acquired companies that have become employees of the Company. The Company’s Amended and Restated Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) provided for the issuance of up to 5,000 shares of common stock. This Plan expired in August 2016. On April 29, 2016, the stockholders approved a new stock incentive plan, the 2016 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2016 Plan”). The 2016 Plan authorizes the award of incentive stock options, non-statutory stock options, restricted stock, unrestricted stock, performance shares, stock appreciation rights and any combination thereof to employees, officers, directors, consultants, independent contractors and advisors of the Company. The 2016 Plan provides for the issuance in the aggregate of up to 2,400,000 shares of common stock associated with awards granted under the Stock Incentive Plan. As of June 30, 2025, there were 1,799,477 options outstanding and approximately 208 thousand shares available for future issuance under the 2016 Plan.

Compensation Expense

Compensation expense is generally recognized on a graded accelerated basis over the vesting period of grants. Compensation expense is recorded in the condensed consolidated statements of operations with a portion charged to Cost of revenue and a portion to Operating expenses, depending on the employee’s department.

During the three and nine months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, compensation expense related to share-based payments was as follows:

	*Three Months Ended June 30,*				*Nine Months Ended June 30,*

As of June 30, 2025, the Company had approximately $0.3 million of unrecognized compensation costs related to unvested options, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.6 years.

Common Stock Warrants

The Company typically issues warrants to individual investors and placement agents to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock in connection with public and private placement fund raising activities.

9. Net Loss Per Share Attributable to Common Shareholders

Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss applicable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted net loss per share attributable to common shareholders is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period plus the dilutive effect of outstanding stock options and warrants using the “treasury stock” method and convertible preferred stock using the “as-if-converted” method. The computation of diluted earnings per share does not include the effect of outstanding stock options, warrants and convertible preferred stock that are considered anti-dilutive.

Basic and diluted net (loss) per share is computed as follows:

Deferred Revenue

Amounts that have been invoiced are recorded in accounts receivable and deferred revenue or revenue, depending on whether the revenue recognition criteria have been met. Deferred revenue represents amounts billed for which revenue has not yet been recognized. Deferred revenue that is expected to be recognized during the succeeding 12-month period is recorded as current deferred revenue, and the remaining portion is recorded as noncurrent deferred revenue included in Other long-term liabilities.

The following table summarizes the classification and net change in deferred revenue as of and for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2025:

	*Deferred Revenue*
	*Current*			*Long-Term*

Balance as of June 30, 2025	$	2,176		$	297

11. Income Taxes

Provision for income taxes consists of the estimated liability for state income taxes owed by the Company. Net operating loss carryforwards are estimated to be sufficient to offset any potential taxable income for all periods presented. During each of the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company recognized a provision for income taxes of $5 thousand. During each of the nine months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company recognized a provision for income taxes of $15 thousand.

12. Leases

The Company leases facilities in the United States for its corporate and regional field offices. During the three and nine months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company was also a lessee/sublessor for certain office locations.

In October 2023, the Company entered into a sublease for its Rosemont, Illinois location. During the quarter ended December 31, 2023, the Company remeasured its operating lease liability for one of its sublet locations as a result of a change in the expected lease term. Such remeasurement resulted in an adjustment to the operating lease asset of less than $0.1 million, which approximated to the amount in which the operating lease liability was remeasured. During the quarter ended March 31, 2025, the Company remeasured its operating lease liability for one of its sublet locations as a result of a change in the expected lease term in conjunction with the extension of the sublease. Such remeasurement resulted in an adjustment to the operating lease asset of less than $0.1 million, which approximated to the amount in which the operating lease liability was remeasured. The sublease is for $6 thousand a month and has a term through January 31, 2028.

The components of net lease costs were as follows:

	*Three Months Ended June 30,*						*Nine Months Ended June 30,*
	*2025*			*2024*			*2025*			*2024*
Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations:

Less: Sublease income, net		(18	)		(18	)		(54	)		(106	)
Total	$	44		$	48		$	136		$	129

Cash paid for amounts included in the measurement of lease liabilities was $113 thousand and $140 thousand for the nine months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, all of which represents operating cash flows from operating leases. As of June 30, 2025, the weighted average remaining lease term was 2.2 years and the weighted average discount rate was 10.9%.

13. Commitments and Contingencies

The Company leases certain of its buildings under non-cancelable lease agreements. Refer to the Leases footnote (Note 12) of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

The Company frequently warrants that the technology solutions it develops for its clients will operate in accordance with the project specifications without defects for a specified warranty period, subject to certain limitations that the Company believes are standard in the industry. In the event that defects are discovered during the warranty period, and none of the limitations apply, the Company is obligated to remedy the defects until the solution that the Company provided operates within the project specifications. The Company is not typically obligated by contract to provide its clients with any refunds of the fees they have paid, although a small number of its contracts provide for the payment of liquidated damages upon default. The Company has purchased and maintains insurance policies covering professional errors and omissions, property damage and general liability that reduce its monetary exposure for warranty-related claims and enable it to recover a portion of any future amounts paid.

The Company’s contracts typically provide for testing and client acceptance procedures that are designed to mitigate the likelihood of warranty-related claims, although there can be no assurance that such procedures will be effective for each project. The Company has not paid any material amounts related to warranties for its solutions. The Company sometimes commits unanticipated levels of effort to projects to remedy defects covered by its warranties. The Company’s estimate of its exposure to warranties on contracts is immaterial as of June 30, 2025 and September 30, 2024.

The Company’s agreements with customers generally require the Company to indemnify the customer against claims in which the Company’s products infringe third-party patents, copyrights, or trademarks and indemnify against product liability matters. As of June 30, 2025 and September 30, 2024, the Company has not experienced any losses related to the indemnification obligations and no significant claims with respect thereto were outstanding. The Company does not expect significant claims related to the indemnification obligations and, consequently, concluded that the fair value of these obligations is negligible, and no related reserves were established.

Litigation

The Company is subject to ordinary routine litigation and claims incidental to its business. As of June 30, 2025, the Company was not engaged with any material legal proceedings.

Digital engagement services revenue as a percentage of total revenue of 20% for the nine months ended June 30, 2025 decreased from 21% for the nine months ended June 30, 2024.

The decrease in revenue from digital engagement services for the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2024 was a result of additional services volumes in the three months ended June 30, 2024, which included a large customer project.

Cost of Revenue

Total cost of revenue of $1.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 increased from $1.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024.

Total cost of revenue of $3.8 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2025 increased from $3.7 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2024.

Cost of Subscription and Perpetual Licenses

Cost of subscription and perpetual licenses of $0.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 increased from $0.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024.

The cost of subscription and perpetual licenses as a percentage of subscription and perpetual licenses revenue was 30% and 28% for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Cost of subscription and perpetual licenses of $2.7 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2025 increased from $2.5 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2024.

The cost of subscription and perpetual licenses as a percentage of subscription and perpetual licenses revenue was 29% and 28% for the nine months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

The changes in cost of subscription and perpetual licenses are primarily due to higher server costs.

Cost of Digital Engagement Services

Cost of digital engagement services of $0.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 decreased from $0.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024.

The cost of total digital engagement services as a percentage of total digital engagement services revenue was 50% and 42% for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Cost of digital engagement services of $1.1 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2025 decreased from $1.2 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2024.

The cost of total digital engagement services as a percentage of total digital engagement services revenue was 49% for each of the nine months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024.

The changes in cost of digital engagement services is primarily due to lower personnel costs.

Gross Profit

Gross profit of $2.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 decreased from $2.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024.

The gross profit margin was 66% and 69% for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Gross profit of $7.7 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2025 decreased from $7.8 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2024.

Sales and marketing expenses of $1.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 increased from $0.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024.

Sales and marketing expense as a percentage of total revenue was 34% and 24% for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Sales and marketing expenses of $3.4 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2025 increased from $2.8 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2024.

Sales and marketing expense as a percentage of total revenue was 29% and 24% for the nine months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

The increase for the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the prior periods is primarily attributable to higher marketing spend on leads and conferences, partially offset by lower personnel costs.

The increase for the nine months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the prior periods is primarily attributable to higher personnel costs and higher marketing spend on leads and conferences.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses of $0.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 decreased from $0.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024.

General and administrative expenses of $2.3 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2025 decreased from $2.4 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2024.

General and administrative expense as a percentage of total revenue was 20% and 21% for the nine months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024.

The decreased for each of the comparable periods is primarily attributable to personnel costs.

Research and Development

Research and development expenses of $1.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 decreased from $1.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024.

Research and development expenses as a percentage of total revenue was 25% and 26% for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Research and development expenses of $3.1 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2025 remained consistent with $3.1 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2024.

Research and development expenses as a percentage of total revenue was 27% for each of the nine months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024.

The decrease for the three months ended June 30, 2025 was primarily attributable to lower personnel costs.

Restructuring and Acquisition Related Expenses

Restructuring and acquisition related expenses were $10 thousand and $0.2 million for the three months and nine months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, compared to $53 thousand and $68 thousand in the three and nine months ended June 30, 2024.

The increase for the nine months ended June 30, 2025 was primarily attributable to personnel restructuring costs in the three months ended March 31, 2025.

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization expenses of $0.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 remained consistent with $0.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024.

Depreciation and amortization as a percentage of total revenue was 5% and 8% for the nine months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

The decrease for the nine months ended June 30, 2025 is primarily attributable to certain intangible assets that have become fully amortized.

Loss from Operations

The loss from operations was $(0.7) million and $(0.4) million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

The loss from operations was $(2.0) million and $(1.5) million for the nine months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Interest expense and other, net

Interest expense and other, net, was $(126) thousand and $(5) thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Interest expense and other, net, was $(135) thousand and $(58) thousand for the nine months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

The increase is primarily the result of stock-based compensation from restricted stock issued to board members in the three months ended June 30, 2025.

Change in fair value of warrant liabilities

We recognized a gain related to the change in fair value of warrant liabilities of $31 thousand and $88 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

We recognized a (loss)/gain related to the change in fair value of warrant liabilities of $(58) thousand and $81 thousand for the nine months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Provision for Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes was $5 thousand for each of the three months ended June 30, 2025 and June 30, 2024. The provision for income taxes was $15 thousand for each of the nine months ended June 30, 2025 and June 30, 2024. The provision for income taxes consists of estimated liability for federal and state income taxes owed by us. Net operating loss (“NOL”) carryforwards are estimated to be sufficient to offset any potential taxable income for all periods presented. A valuation allowance is established if it is more likely than not that all or a portion of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. We maintain a valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets.

Adjusted EBITDA

We also measure our performance based on a non-GAAP (“Generally Accepted Accounting Principles”) measurement of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, stock-based compensation expense, impairment of goodwill and intangible assets, non-cash warrant related expenses, other income and expenses, change in fair value of derivative instruments, change in fair value of contingent consideration, and restructuring and acquisition related charges (“Adjusted EBITDA”).

We believe this non-GAAP financial measure of Adjusted EBITDA is useful to management and investors in evaluating our operating performance for the periods presented and provides a tool for evaluating our ongoing operations.

Adjusted EBITDA, however, is not a measure of operating performance under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and should not be considered as an alternative or substitute for U.S. GAAP profitability measures such as (i) income from operations and net income, or (ii) cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities, both as determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA as an operating performance measure has material limitations because it excludes the financial statement impact of net interest expense, income taxes, depreciation, amortization of intangibles, stock-based compensation, goodwill impairment, changes in fair value of warrant liabilities, loss on disposal of assets, other amortization, changes in fair value of contingent consideration and restructuring charges, acquisition related expenses, and therefore does not represent an accurate measure of profitability. As a result, Adjusted EBITDA should be evaluated in conjunction with net income (loss) for a complete analysis of our profitability, as net income (loss) includes the financial statement impact of these items and is the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP operating performance measure to Adjusted EBITDA. Our definition of Adjusted EBITDA may also differ from and therefore may not be comparable with similarly titled measures used by other companies, thereby limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure. Because of the limitations that Adjusted EBITDA has as an analytical tool, investors should not consider it in isolation, or as a substitute for analysis of our operating results as reported under U.S. GAAP.

The following table reconciles net loss (which is the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP operating performance measure) to Adjusted EBITDA (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended June 30,						Nine Months Ended June 30,
	2025			2024			2025			2024

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash Flows

Operating Activities

Cash used in operating activities was $(0.8) million for the nine months ended June 30, 2025, compared to cash used in operating activities of $(1.0) million for the nine months ended June 30, 2024. The change in cash used in operating activities, compared to the prior period, was primarily due to changes in non-cash items, including amortization, depreciation, stock-based compensation, and changes in fair value of warrant liabilities, and changes in accounts receivable, prepaids and other current assets, and accounts payable and accrued liabilities.

Investing Activities

There was $(12) thousand cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended June 30, 2025 and $(24) thousand cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended June 30, 2024.

Financing Activities

Cash provided by financing activities was $1.5 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2025 primarily related to proceeds from the issuance of common stock of $2.0 million, less cash used for the redemption of Preferred Series C shares and $(0.2) million used for payment of long-term debt in the nine months ended June 30, 2025.

Capital Resources and Liquidity Outlook

We have historically incurred operating losses and used cash on hand and from financing activities to fund operations as well as develop new products. The Company is continuing to maintain tight control over discretionary spending for the 2025 fiscal year. The Company believes that future revenues and cash flows will supplement its working capital and it has an appropriate cost structure to support future revenue growth.

We may offer and sell, from time to time, in one or more offerings, up to $50 million of its debt or equity securities, or any combination thereof. Such securities offerings may be made pursuant to the Company’s currently effective registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-285176), which was initially filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 24, 2025 and declared effective on February 27, 2025 (the “Shelf Registration Statement”). A complete description of the types of securities that the Company may sell is described in the Preliminary Prospectus contained in the Shelf Registration Statement. As of the date of the filing of this Quarterly Report, there are no active offerings for the sale or obligations to purchase any of the Company’s securities pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement. There can be no assurances that the Company will offer any securities for sale or that if the Company does offer any securities that it will be successful in selling any portion of the securities offered on a timely basis if at all, or on terms acceptable to us. Further, our ability to offer or sell such securities may be limited by the rules of the NASDAQ Capital Market.

On March 24, 2025, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with purchasers, pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue and sell, in a registered direct offering, an aggregate of 1,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share, at an offering price of $1.50 per share, for aggregate gross proceeds from the offering of approximately $1.5 million before deducting the placement agent fee and related offering expenses (see Note 8). Proceeds after deducting offering expenses was $1.3 million.

On March 25, 2025, the Company separately entered into a form of subscription agreement with certain accredited investors relating to a private placement transaction and sale (the “Private Placement”) of 473,979 unregistered shares of the Company's common stock at an offering price of $1.52 per share, for aggregate gross proceeds from the Private Placement of approximately $720 thousand before deducting related offering expenses. Proceeds after deducting offering expenses was $700 thousand.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

At this time, we do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements, financings or other relationships with unconsolidated entities or other persons.

Contractual Obligations

We lease all of our office locations. The gross obligations for operating leases is $0.2 million, with obligations extending through January 2028. Debt payments on our various debt obligations total $0.3 million of which $0.2 million is expected to be paid in the next twelve months.

Critical Accounting Policies

These critical accounting policies and estimates by our management should be read in conjunction with Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies to the Consolidated Financial Statements that were prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses in the reporting period. We regularly make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities. The most significant estimates included in our financial statements are the valuation of accounts receivable and long-term assets, including intangibles, goodwill and deferred tax assets, stock-based compensation, amounts of revenue to be recognized on service contracts in progress, unbilled receivables, and deferred revenue. We base our estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various other factors that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the accrual of costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. The actual results experienced by us may differ materially and adversely from our estimates. To the extent there are material differences between our estimates and the actual results, our future results of operations will be affected.

We consider the following accounting policies to be both those most important to the portrayal of our financial condition and those that require the most subjective judgment:

	●	Revenue recognition;
	●	Accounts receivable;
	●	Accounting for goodwill and other intangible assets;
	●	Accounting for business combinations;
	●	Accounting for common stock purchase warrants; and
	●	Accounting for stock-based compensation.

Revenue Recognition

We derive our revenue from two sources: (i) Software Licenses, which are comprised of subscription fees, perpetual software licenses, and maintenance for post-customer support (“PCS”) on perpetual licenses, and (ii) Digital Engagement Services, which are professional services to implement our products such as web development, digital strategy, information architecture and usability engineering search. Customers who license the software on a subscription basis, which can be described as “Software as a Service” or “SaaS”, do not take possession of the software.

Revenue is recognized when control of these services is transferred to our customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to be entitled to in exchange for those services. If the consideration promised in a contract includes a variable amount, for example, overage fees, contingent fees or service level penalties, we include an estimate of the amount we expect to receive for the total transaction price if it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur. Our subscription service arrangements are non-cancelable and do not contain refund-type provisions. Revenue is reported net of applicable sales and use tax.

We recognize revenue from contracts with customers using a five-step model, which is described below:

	1.	Identify the customer contract;
	2.	Identify performance obligations that are distinct;
	3.	Determine the transaction price;
	4.	Allocate the transaction price to the distinct performance obligations; and
	5.	Recognize revenue as the performance obligations are satisfied.

Accounts Receivable

The allowance for credit losses is determined based upon a variety of judgments and factors. Factors considered in determining the allowance include historical collection, write-off experience, and management’s assessment of collectability from customers, including current conditions, reasonable forecasts, and expectations of future collectability and collection efforts. Management continuously assesses the collectability of receivables and adjusts estimates based on actual experience and future expectations based on economic indicators. Management also monitors the aging analysis of receivables to determine if there are changes in the collections of accounts receivable. Receivable balances are written-off against the allowance for credit losses when such balances are deemed to be uncollectible.

Accounting for Goodwill and Intangible Assets

Goodwill is tested for impairment annually during the fourth quarter of every fiscal year and more frequently if events and circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired. The purpose of an impairment test is to identify any potential impairment by comparing the carrying value of a reporting unit including goodwill to its fair value. An impairment charge is 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.

Factors that could lead to a future impairment include material uncertainties such as operational, economic and competitive factors specific to the key assumptions underlying the fair value estimate we use in our impairment testing that have a reasonable possibility of changing. This could include a significant reduction in projected revenues, a deterioration of projected financial performance, future acquisitions and/or mergers, and a decline in our market value as a result of a significant decline in our stock price.

Accounting for Business Combinations

We allocate the amount we pay for each acquisition to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their fair values at the date of acquisition, including identifiable intangible assets which arise from a contractual or legal right or are separable from goodwill. We base the fair value of identifiable intangible assets acquired in a business combination on detailed valuations that use information and assumptions provided by management, which consider management’s best estimates of inputs and assumptions that a market participant would use. We allocate any excess purchase price that exceeds the fair value of the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired to goodwill. The use of alternative valuation assumptions, including estimated growth rates, cash flows and discounts rates and estimated useful lives could result in different purchase price allocations and amortization expense in current and future periods. Transaction costs associated with these acquisitions are expensed as incurred through general and administrative expense on the consolidated statements of operations. In those circumstances where an acquisition involves a contingent consideration arrangement, we recognize a liability equal to the fair value of the contingent payments expected to be made as of the acquisition date. We re-measure this liability each reporting period and recognizes changes in the fair value through income (loss) before income taxes within the consolidated statements of operations.

Accounting for Common Stock Purchase Warrants

We evaluate common stock warrants as they are issued to determine whether they should be classified as an equity instrument or a liability. Those warrants that are classified as a liability are carried at fair value at each reporting period, with changes in their fair value recognized in change in fair value of warrant liabilities in the consolidated statements of operations. The fair value of our warrant liabilities are valued utilizing Level 3 inputs. Warrant liabilities are valued using a Monte Carlo option-pricing model, which takes into consideration the volatilities of comparable public companies, due to the relatively low trading volume of our common stock. The Monte Carlo option-pricing model uses certain assumptions, including expected life and annual volatility.

Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation

At June 30, 2025, we maintained two stock-based compensation plans, one of which has expired but still contains vested stock options. The two plans are more fully described in Note 8 of these condensed consolidated financial statements.

We account for stock-based compensation awards in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation. Share-based payments (to the extent they are compensatory) are recognized in our consolidated statements of operations based on their fair values.

We recognize stock-based compensation expense for share-based payments issued that are expected to vest on a straight-line basis over the service period of the award, which is generally three years. In determining whether an award is expected to vest, we use an estimated, forward-looking forfeiture rate based upon our historical forfeiture rate and reduce the expense over the recognition period. Estimated forfeiture rates are updated for actual forfeitures quarterly. We also consider, each quarter, whether there have been any significant changes in facts and circumstances that would affect our forfeiture rate. Although we estimate forfeitures based on historical experience, actual forfeitures in the future may differ. In addition, to the extent our actual forfeitures are different than our estimates, we recognize a true-up for the difference in the period that the awards vest, and such true-ups could materially affect our operating results.

We estimate the fair value of stock options using the Black-Scholes-Merton option valuation model. The fair value of an award is affected by our stock price on the date of grant as well as other assumptions, including the estimated volatility of our stock price over the term of the awards and the estimated period of time that we expect employees to hold their stock options. The risk-free interest rate assumption we use is based upon United States Treasury interest rates appropriate for the expected life of the awards. We use the historical volatility of our publicly traded options in order to estimate future stock price trends. In order to determine the estimated period of time that we expect employees to hold their stock options, we use historical trends of employee turnovers. Our expected dividend rate is zero since we do not currently pay cash dividends on our common stock and do not anticipate doing so in the foreseeable future. The aforementioned inputs entered into the option valuation model we use to fair value our stock awards are subjective estimates and changes to these estimates will cause the fair value of our stock awards and related stock-based compensation expense we recognize to vary.

We recognize deferred tax assets for stock-based awards that result in deductions on our income tax returns, based on the amount of stock-based compensation recognized and the statutory tax rate in the jurisdiction in which we will receive a tax deduction.

Item 4.

Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) were effective as of June 30, 2025.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There were no changes to our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) that occurred during our most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Limitations on Controls

Our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. Our management recognizes that any control system, no matter how well designed and operated, is based upon certain judgments and assumptions and cannot provide absolute assurance that its objectives will be met. Similarly, an evaluation of controls cannot provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected.
