NOTE 2. PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation and Preparation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial statements and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Accordingly, they do not contain all information and footnotes required by GAAP for annual financial statements. Such unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes are based on the representations of the Company’s management, who is responsible for their integrity and objectivity. The information included in this Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the information included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, filed with the SEC on March 5, 2021. Interim results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results the Company will have for the full year ending December 31, 2021.

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the annual financial statements and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, which are normal, recurring and necessary to fairly state the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The financial data and the other information disclosed in these notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements reflected in the three and six month periods presented are unaudited. The December 31, 2020 balance sheet included herein was derived from the audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures or notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements.

Reclassifications

Amortization expense, which was presented in prior year periods within cost of revenue, sales and marketing, research and development, and general and administrative operating expenses, has been reclassified and is presented as a single separate line item in operating expenses. Gross profit, which was previously reflected in the statement of operations and comprehensive loss, is no longer presented. Additionally, cost of revenue, which was presented in prior periods within gross profit, is now presented as an operating expense. The Company believes that this presentation more accurately reflects the Company’s cost of revenue and operating expenses. These reclassifications had no effect on reported net loss.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

During the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company generated cash flows from operations of $1,433 and negative cash flows from operations of $30,432, respectively, and incurred net losses of $47,876 and $62,078, respectively. In the six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company generated negative cash flows from operations of $991 and incurred a net loss of $43,282.  As of June 30, 2021, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $323,647. Historically, the Company has satisfied its capital needs with the net proceeds from sales of equity securities, issuances of convertible debt, and the exercise of common stock options and warrants. In 2020, the Company completed an offering of its common stock for aggregate net proceeds of $59,771 and raised additional net proceeds of $5,986 through sales of its common stock under an Equity Distribution Agreement dated June 1, 2018 (the “Equity Distribution Agreement”). In the first six months of 2021, the Company received net proceeds of $4,794 from the issuance of common stock under the Company’s employee stock plans and $2,279 from the exercise of common stock warrants.  

The Company expects to continue to generate net losses for the foreseeable future as it makes significant investments in developing and selling its aiWARE SaaS solutions. Management believes that the Company’s existing balances of cash and cash equivalents, which totaled $120,627 as of June 30, 2021, will be sufficient to meet its anticipated cash requirements for at least twelve months from the date that these financial statements are issued. However, should the Company’s current cash and cash equivalents not be sufficient to support the development of its business to the point at which it has positive cash flows from operations, the Company plans to meet its future needs for additional capital through equity and/or debt financings. Such financing may not be available on terms favorable to the Company or at all.  If the Company is unable to obtain adequate financing or financing on terms satisfactory to it when required, the Company’s ability to continue to support its business growth, scale its infrastructure, develop product enhancements and to respond to business challenges could be significantly impaired.

Use of Accounting Estimates

The preparation of the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. The principal estimates relate to revenue recognition, allowance for doubtful accounts, purchase accounting, impairment of long-lived assets, the valuation of stock awards and stock warrants and income taxes, where applicable.

There has been uncertainty and disruption in the global economy and financial markets due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The Company is not aware of any specific event or circumstance that would require an update to its estimates or assumptions or a revision of the carrying value of its assets or liabilities as of the date of filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

These estimates and assumptions may change as new events occur and additional information is obtained. As a result, actual results could differ materially from these estimates and assumptions.

Significant Customers

One individual customer accounted for 10% of the Company’s net revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2021. One individual customer accounted for 11% of the Company’s net revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2020. No individual customer accounted for 10% or more of the Company’s net revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2020 or the six months ended June 30, 2021.  Two advertising clients individually accounted for 10% or more of the Company’s accounts receivable as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020.

Remaining Performance Obligations

As of June 30, 2021, the aggregate amount of the transaction prices under the Company’s contracts allocated to the Company’s remaining performance obligations was $4,668, approximately 71% of which the Company expects to recognize as revenue over the next twelve months, and the remainder thereafter. This aggregate amount excludes amounts allocated to remaining performance obligations under contracts that have an original duration of one year or less and variable consideration that is allocated to remaining performance obligations.  

Significant Accounting Policies

There have been no material changes in the Company’s significant accounting policies from those disclosed in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). The amendments under this pronouncement will change the way all leases with duration of one year or more are treated. Under this guidance, lessees will be required to capitalize virtually all leases on the balance sheet as a right-of-use asset and an associated financing lease liability or capital lease liability. The right-of-use asset represents the lessee’s right to use, or control the use of, a specified asset for the specified lease term. The lease liability represents the lessee’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease, measured on a discounted basis. Based on certain characteristics, leases are classified as financing leases or operating leases. Financing lease liabilities, those that contain provisions similar to capitalized leases, are amortized in the same manner as capital leases are amortized under current accounting rules, as amortization expense and interest expense in the statement of operations. Operating lease liabilities are amortized on a straight-line basis over the life of the lease as lease expense in the statement of operations. This standard will be effective for the Company beginning with the first quarter of fiscal year 2022. The Company is currently evaluating the expected impact this standard will have on its policies and procedures pertaining to its existing and future lease arrangements, its disclosure requirements and its consolidated financial statements, but anticipates that the required recognition of a lease liability and related right-of-use asset may significantly increase both assets and liabilities recognized and reported on its balance sheet.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326) which requires measurement and recognition of expected credit losses for financial assets held. This standard will be effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of fiscal year 2023, and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that this standard will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures as well as the timing of adoption.

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12 to simplify the accounting in ASC 740, Income Taxes. This standard removes certain exceptions related to the approach for intraperiod tax allocation, the methodology for calculating income taxes in an interim period, and the recognition of deferred tax liabilities for outside basis differences. This guidance also clarifies and simplifies other areas of ASC 740. This standard will be effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of fiscal year 2022, and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that this standard will have on its financial statements and related disclosures as well as the timing of adoption.
