3.Liquidity and Management’s Plans

3.Liquidity and Management’s Plans

Through September

We have financed our operations primarily through a combination of cash on hand, cash generated from operations, borrowings from third parties and related parties, and proceeds from private sales of equity. Since 2012, we have raised a total of approximately $18.6 million in cash through issuances of debt and equity securities. As of June 30, 2017, the Company2021, we had incurred$1,140,631 in cash and cash equivalents, net working capital deficit of $380,126, and an accumulated deficit since its inception of $15,989,431. At September 30, 2017,approximately $22 million. In June 2021, we paid $954,733 in annual earnout liabilities.

In 2020, we engaged in several actions that significantly improved our liquidity and cash flows, including:

acquiring Graphic Sciences and CEO Image, resulting in increased cash flow from operations,
receiving aggregate gross proceeds of $3.5 million from the private placement of our common stock,
converting all of the outstanding principal and accrued interest payable on our then-existing convertible debt in the approximate amount of $6.0 million into shares of common stock at a conversion price of $4.00 per share,

9

receiving $2.0 million in proceeds from the issuance of 12% subordinated promissory notes due February 28, 2023, which we refer to as the 2020 Notes, and
obtaining the loan under the Paycheck Protection Program through PNC Bank in the principal amount of $838,700 (the “PPP loan”),the principal and interest on which was forgiven in its entirety by the U.S. Small Business Administration (the “SBA”) by notice we received on January 20, 2021.

Overall, we reduced our outstanding debt by approximately $3 million during 2020 and have not incurred any new debt in 2021.

Our ability to meet our capital needs in the Company had afuture will depend on many factors, including maintaining and enhancing our operating cash balanceflow, successfully managing the transition of $183,703.our recent acquisitions of Graphic Sciences and CEO Image, successfully retaining and growing our client base in the midst of general economic uncertainty, and managing the continuing effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business. We will need to successfully manage our cash flows to support potential future earnout commitments and debt service commitments.

FromBased on our current plans and assumptions, we believe our capital resources, including our cash and cash equivalents, along with funds expected to be generated from our operations, will be sufficient to meet our anticipated cash needs arising in the Company’s inception, it has generated revenues from the sales and implementationordinary course of its internally generated software applications.

The Company’s business plan is to increase its sales and market share by developing an expanded network of resellers through which the Company will sell its expanded software product portfolio, as well as direct selling efforts with a focus on select markets. The Company expects that this marketing initiative will require that it continue its efforts towards reseller training and on-boarding, enhance direct marketing campaigns and leads management, and develop additional software integration and customization capabilities, all of which will require additional capital.

The Company expects that throughfor at least the next 12 months, the capital requirementsincluding to fund the Company’s growth, service existing debt obligations, and to cover the operating costs as a public company will consume substantially all of the cash flows that it intends to generate from its operations. The Company further believes that during this period, while the Company is focusing on the growth and expansion of its business, the gross profit that it expects to generate from operations will not generate sufficient funds to cover these anticipated operating costs. Our cash requirements are insufficient by approximately $77,000 per month. During 2016 and the nine months ending September 30, 2017, the Company has used the proceeds from the convertible note issuances and the sale of equity securities to sustain operations and to follow through on the execution of its business plan. There is no assurance that the Company has or will be able to obtain sufficient funds to fund the Company’s operations. Given these conditions, the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is contingent upon increasing its revenues and successfully managing its cash requirements. In addition, the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern must be considered in light of the problems, expenses and complications frequently encountered by entrants into established markets, the competitive environment in which the Company operates and its cash requirements. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

Since inception, the Company’s operations have primarily been funded through a combination of gross margins, state business development loans, bank loans, convertible loans and loans from friends and family, and the sale of securities. Although management believes that the Company may have access to additional capital resources, there is no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain additional funds on commercially acceptable terms, if at all.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company raised a net $606,672 through the issuance of convertible notes. The proceeds from the issuance were used to fund the Company’ssatisfy our expected working capital needs, earnout obligations and capital and debt repayment obligations.service commitments.

4.Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Principles of Consolidation

The current levelcondensed consolidated financial statements accompanying these notes include the accounts of cashIntellinetics and operating margins may not be enough to cover the existing fixed and variable obligationsaccounts of all its subsidiaries in which it holds a controlling interest. Under GAAP, consolidation is generally required for investments of more than 50% of the Company, so increased revenue performance andoutstanding voting stock of an investee, except when control is not held by the addition of capital are critical to the Company’s success.

The Company’s financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should it be unable to continue as a going concern.

4.Corporate Actions

All significant intercompany balances and effected a one-for-seven (1-for-7) reverse stock split of the Company’s common stock. All share and per share amounts hereintransactions have been adjusted to reflect the reverse stock split.eliminated in consolidation.

5.Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Use of Estimates

The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions. Such estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses. ActualBy their nature, these estimates and assumptions are subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty. The impact of COVID-19 has significantly increased economic and demand uncertainty. Because future events and their effects cannot be determined with precision, actual results could differ significantly from estimated amounts.

Significant estimates and assumptions include valuation allowances related to receivables, accounts receivable -unbilled, allowance for obsolescence or slow-moving parts and supplies inventory, the recoverability of long-term assets, depreciable lives of property and equipment, purchase price allocations for acquisitions, fair value for goodwill and intangibles, the lease liabilities, estimates of fair value deferred taxes and related valuation allowances. The Company’sOur management monitors these risks and assesses itsour business and financial risks on a quarterly basis.

ConcentrationsRevenue Recognition

In accordance with ASC 606, “Revenue From Contracts With Customers,” we follow a five-step model to assess each contract of Credit Risk

a sale or service to a customer: identify the legally binding contract, identify the performance obligations, determine the transaction price, allocate the transaction price, and determine whether revenue will be recognized at a point in time or over time. Revenue is recognized when a performance obligation is satisfied and the customer obtains control of promised goods and services. The Company maintains its cash with high credit quality financial institutions. At times,amount of revenue recognized reflects the Company’s cashconsideration to which we expect to be entitled to receive in exchange for these goods and services. In addition, ASC 606 requires disclosures of the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash equivalents may be uninsured orflows arising from contracts with customers.

We categorize revenue as software, software as a service, software maintenance services, professional services, and storage and retrieval services. We earn the majority of our revenue from the sale of professional services, followed by the sale of software maintenance services and software as a service. We apply our revenue recognition policies as required in deposit accounts that exceedaccordance with ASC 606 based on the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insurance limit.

The numberfacts and circumstances of customers that compriseeach category of revenue. More detail regarding each category of revenue is contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the Company’s customer base, alongfiscal year ended December 31, 2020 filed with the SEC filed on March 30, 2021

Contract balances

When the timing of our delivery of goods or services is different industries, governmental entities and geographic regions,from the timing of payments made by customers, we recognize either a contract asset (performance precedes contractual due date) or a contract liability (customer payment precedes performance). Customers that prepay are represented by deferred revenue until the performance obligation is satisfied. Contract assets represent arrangements in which the Company’sgood or service has been delivered but payment is not yet due. Our contract assets consisted of accounts receivable, unbilled, which are disclosed on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Our contract liabilities consisted of deferred (unearned) revenue, which is generally related to software as a service or software maintenance contracts. We classify deferred revenue as current based on the timing of when we expect to recognize revenue, which are disclosed on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

The following table present changes in our contract assets and liabilities during the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020:

Deferred revenue

Amounts that have been invoiced are recognized in accounts receivable, 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 be recognized. Deferred revenues typically relate to maintenance and software-as-a-service agreements which have been paid for by customers operate, limits concentrationsprior to the performance of credit riskthose services, and payments received for professional services and license arrangements and software-as-a-service performance obligations that have been deferred until fulfilled under our revenue recognition policy.

Remaining performance obligations represent the transaction price from contracts for which work has not been performed or goods and services have not been delivered. We expect to recognize revenue on approximately 95% of the remaining performance obligations over the next 12 months, with respectthe remainder recognized thereafter. As of June 30, 2021, the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to accounts receivable. The Companyremaining performance obligations for software as a service and software maintenance contracts with a duration greater than one year was $48,454. As of December 31, 2020, the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations for software as a service and software maintenance contracts with a duration greater than one year was $45,323.

Parts and Supplies

Parts and supplies are valued at the Company may require its customers to provide retainers, up-front depositslower of cost or irrevocable letters-of-credit when considered necessary to mitigate credit risks. The Company has establishednet realizable value. Costs are determined using the first-in, first-out method. Parts and supplies are used for scanning and document conversion services. A provision for potentially obsolete or slow-moving parts and supplies inventory is made based on parts and supplies levels, future sales forecasted and management’s judgment of potentially obsolete parts and supplies. We recorded an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon facts surrounding the credit risk of specific customers $24,000and past collections history. Credit losses have been within management’s expectations. At September$15,000 at June 30, 20172021 and December 31, 2016, the Company’s allowance for doubtful accounts was $22,202 and $19,034,2020, respectively.

Property and Equipment

Property, equipment and leasehold improvements are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization is computed over the estimated useful lives of the related assets on a straight-line basis. Furniture and fixtures, computer hardware and purchased software are depreciated over three to seven years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the life of the lease or the asset, whichever is shorter, generally seven to ten years. Upon retirement or other disposition of these assets, the cost and related accumulated depreciation and amortization of these assets are removed from the accounts and the resulting gains and losses are reflected in the results of operations. Construction in progress represents warehouse racking for document storage and retrieval purposes. No depreciation is provided for construction in progress until it is completed and placed into service.

ImpairmentPurchase Accounting Related Fair Value Measurements

We allocate the purchase price, including contingent consideration, of Long-Lived Assets

The Company accounts forour acquisitions to the impairmentassets and disposition of long-livedliabilities acquired, including identifiable intangible assets, in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 360, “Property, Plant, and Equipment.” The Company tests long-lived assets or asset groups, such as property and equipment, for recoverability when events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amount may not be recoverable.

Circumstances which could trigger a review include, but are not limited to: significant adverse changes in the business climate or legal factors; current period cash flow or operating losses combined with a history of losses or a forecast of continuing losses associated with the use of the asset; and a current expectation that the asset will more likely than not be sold or disposed of before the end of its estimated useful life.

Recoverability is assessed based on comparing the carrying amount of the asset to the aggregate pre-tax undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposal of the asset or asset group. Impairment is recognized when the carrying amount is not recoverable and exceeds the fair value of the asset or asset group. The impairment loss, if any, is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds fair value, which for this purpose is based upon the discounted projected future cash flows of the asset or asset group.

Share-Based Compensation

The Company accounts for stock-based payments to employees in accordance with ASC 718, “Stock Compensation.” Stock-based payments to employees include grants of stock that are recognized in the consolidated statement of operations based on their respective fair values at the date of grant.

acquisition. Such fair market value assessments are primarily based on third-party valuations using assumptions developed by management that require significant judgments and estimates that can change materially as additional information becomes available. The Company accounts for stock-based paymentspurchase price allocated to non-employees in accordance with ASC 718 and ASC 505-50, “Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees,” which requires that such equity instruments are recorded at their fair value on the measurement date, with the measurement of such compensation being subject to periodic adjustment as the underlying equity instruments vest.

The grant date fair value of stock option awards is recognized in earnings as share-based compensation cost over the requisite service period of the award using the straight-line attribution method. The Company estimates the fair value of the stock option awards using the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model. The exercise price of options is specified in the stock option agreements. The expected volatilityintangibles is based on unobservable factors, including but not limited to, projected revenues, expenses, customer attrition rates, a weighted average cost of capital, among others. The weighted average cost of capital uses a market participant’s cost of equity and after-tax cost of debt and reflects the historical volatility ofrisks inherent in the Company’s stock forcash flows. The approach to valuing the previous period equal toinitial contingent consideration associated with the expected term of the options. The expected term of options granted is based on the midpoint between the vesting datepurchase price also uses similar unobservable factors such as projected revenues and the end of the contractual term. The risk-free interest rate is based upon a U.S. Treasury instrument with a life that is similar to the expected term of the options. The expected dividend yield is based upon the yield expected on date of grant to occurexpenses over the term of the option.

On January 3 and March 17, 2017, the Company issued 61,110 and 2,941 new Shares, respectively, of restricted common stock to directors of the Company in accordance with the 2015 Intellinetics Equity Incentive Plan (the “2015 Plan”).

On March 15, 2017, the Company granted an employee stock options to purchase 100,000 Shares at an exercise price of $0.85 per Share, in accordance with the 2015 Plan, with vesting continuing until 2020. The total fair value of $70,872 for these stock options would have been recognized by the Company over the applicable vesting period. These options were forfeited upon the termination of the employee and expiry of the exercise period.

Software Development Costs

Software development costs for software to be sold or otherwise marketed incurred prior to the establishment of technological feasibility are expensed as incurred. The Company defines establishment of technological feasibility as the completion of a working model. Software development costs incurred subsequent to the establishment of technological feasibility through the period of general market availability of the product are capitalized, if material. To date, all software development costs for software to be sold or otherwise marketed have been expensed as incurred. In accordance with ASC 350-40, “Internal-Use Software,” the Company capitalizes purchase and implementation costs of internal use software. No such costs were capitalized during the periods presented.

Research and Development

We design, develop, test, market, license, and support new software products and enhancements of current products. We continuously monitor our software products and enhancements to remain compatible with standard platforms and file formats. WeIn accordance with ASC 985-20 “Costs of Software to be Sold, Leased or Otherwise Marketed,” we expense software development costs, including costs to develop software products or the software component of products to be sold, leased, or marketed to external users, before technological feasibility is reached. Once technological feasibility has been established, certain software development costs incurred during the application development stage are eligible for capitalization. Based on our software development process, technical feasibility is established upon completion of a working model. Technological feasibility is typically reached shortly before the release of such products. No such costs as incurred. were capitalized during the periods presented in this report.

14

In accordance with ASC 350-40, “Internal-Use Software,” we capitalize purchase and implementation costs of internal use software. Once an application has reached development stage, internal and external costs, if direct and incremental, are capitalized until the software is substantially complete and ready for its intended use. Capitalization ceases upon complete of all substantial testing. We also capitalize costs related to specific upgrades and enhancements when it is probable that the expenditure will result in additional functionality. No such costs were capitalized during the periods presented in this report.

For the three and ninesix months ending Septemberended June 30, 20172021 and 2016,2020, our research andexpensed software development costs were $125,411$95,374 and $252,596,$197,569, respectively, and $119,538$80,854 and $292,714$168,749, respectively.

Stock CompensationFinancial Instruments – Credit Losses

In MarchJune 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, Compensation2016-13, Financial InstrumentsStock CompensationCredit Losses (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting (“ASU 2016-09”)326), which simplified certain aspectsrequires entities to measure all expected credit losses for financial assets held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. This replaces the existing incurred loss model and is applicable to the measurement of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including income taxes, classification of awards and classificationcredit losses on the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-09 will befinancial assets measured at amortized cost. ASC 2016-16 is effective for the Companyannual reporting periods beginning in its first quarter of 2018. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2016-09 on its consolidated financial statements.

Leases

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (“ASU 2016-02”), which modified lease accounting for both lessees and lessors to increase transparency and comparability by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities by lessees forafter December 15, 2023, including interim reporting periods within those leases classified as operating leases under previous accounting standards and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. ASU 2016-02 will be effective for the Company beginning in its first quarter of 2020, and earlyannual reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the timing of its adoption and the impact of adopting ASU 2016-02 on its consolidated financial statements.

Revenue Recognition

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The core principle of ASU 2014-09 is built on the contract between a vendor and a customer for the provision of goods and services. It attempts to depict the exchange of rights and obligations between the parties in the pattern of revenue recognition based on the consideration to which the vendor is entitled. To accomplish this objective, ASU 2014-09 requires five basic steps: (i) identify the contract with the customer, (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (iii) determine the transaction price, (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. Entities will generally be required to make more estimates and use more judgment than under current guidance, which will be highlighted for users through increased disclosure requirements. Subsequently, the FASB has issued the following standards related to ASU 2014-09: ASU No. 2016-08, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Principal versus Agent Considerations (“ASU 2016-08”); ASU No. 2016-10, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing (“ASU 2016-10”); ASU No. 2016-12, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients (“ASU 2016-12”); and ASU No. 2016-20, Technical Corrections and Improvements to Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASU 2016-20”). The Company must adopt ASU 2016-08, ASU 2016-10, ASU 2016-12 and ASU 2016-20 with ASU 2014-09 (collectively, the “new revenue standards”). In July 2015, the FASB deferred the effective date of the new revenue standards for one year beyondguidance on its condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Reference Rate Reform

In March 2020, the originally specified effective date. The update is now effective for public entities for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods therein. Earlier application is permitted only asFASB issued ASU 2020-04, “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. Three basic transition methods are available – full retrospective, retrospective with certainthe Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting” which provides optional relief through specific exceptions and practical expedients andfor transitioning away from reference rates that are expected to be discontinued. The relief generally applies to eligible modifications of contractual terms that change (or have the potential to change) the amount or timing of contractual cash flows related to replacement of a cumulative effect approach.

As required, the Company will adopt the new standard on January 1, 2018, and currently anticipates adopting the standard using the full retrospective methodreference rate. The relief allows such modifications to restate each prior reporting period presented.be accounted for as continuations of existing contracts without additional analysis. The Company's ability to adopt this standard using the full retrospective methodoptional relief is dependent upon system readiness for both revenue and commissions and the completion of the analysis of information necessary to restate prior period financial statements.available from March 2020 through December 31, 2022. The Company is continuing to assess the impact of adopting ASU 2014-09 on its financial position, results of operations and related disclosures and has not yet determined whether the effect of the revenue portion will be material. Additionally, as the Company continues to assess the new standard along with industry trends and additional interpretive guidance, the Company may adjust its implementation plan accordingly

The Company believes that there will be no significant changes required to our processes and systems to adopt the new standard. We are also identifying and designing additional controls and updating our accounting policies to support our implementation and ongoing compliance with the new standard.The Company expects revenue recognition for its sale of software, maintenance, professional and third party services offerings to remain largely unchanged. However, the new standard is expected to change the timing of revenue recognition in certain areas, including software licenses with professional services and software as a service. These impacts are not expected to be material.The Company is alsocurrently evaluating the impact of the guidance inthis ASU.

No other Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 340-40, Other Assets and Deferred Costs; Contracts with Customers, under ASU 2014-09. Under ASC 340-40,Updates that have been issued but are not yet effective are expected to have a material effect on the Company would be required to capitalize and amortize incremental costs of obtaining a contract. Since the company currently expenses sales commissions as incurred, the requirement in the new standard to capitalize certain in-scope sales commissions will result in an accounting change for the company.  However, the impact to theCompany’s future condensed consolidated financial statements is not expected to be material.statements.

The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2014-09 to have any impact on its operating cash flows. The Company continues to assess all potential impacts of the guidance and given normal ongoing business dynamics, preliminary conclusions are subject to change. Advertising

Revenue Recognition

a) Sale of Software

The Company recognizes revenues in accordance with ASC Topic 985-605, “Software Revenue Recognition.”

The Company records revenues from the sale of software licenses when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the software product has been installed, there are no significant uncertainties surrounding product acceptance by the customer, the fees are fixed and determinable, and collection is considered probable. Revenues included in this classification typically include sales of additional software licenses to existing customers and sales of software to the Company’s Resellers (See section h) - Reseller Agreements, below.

The Company assesses whether payment terms are customary or extended in accordance with normal practice relative to the market in which the sale is occurring. The Company’s sales arrangements generally include standard payment terms. These terms effectively relate to all customers, products, and arrangements regardless of customer type, product mix or arrangement size.

If an undelivered element for the arrangement exists under the license arrangement, revenues related to the undelivered element are deferred based on Vendor Specific Objective Evidence (“VSOE”) of the fair value of the undelivered element. Often, multiple-element sales arrangements include arrangements where software licenses and the associated post-contract customer support (“PCS”) are sold together. The Company has established VSOE of the fair value of the undelivered PCS element based on the contracted price for renewal PCS included in the original multiple element sales arrangement, as substantiated by contractual terms and the Company’s significant PCS renewal experience, from the Company’s existing customer base.

The Company records the revenues for the sales of software with professional services as prescribed by ASC 985-605, in accordance with the contract accounting guidelines in ASC 605-35, “Revenue Recognition: Construction-Type and Production-Type Contracts” (“ASC 605-35”), after evaluating for separation of any non-ASC 605-35 elements in accordance with the provisions of ASC 605-25, “Revenue Recognition: Multiple-Element Arrangements,” as updated. The Company accounts for these contracts on a percentage of completion basis, measured by the percentage of labor hours incurred to date to estimated total labor hours for each contract, or on a completed contract basis when dependable estimates are not available.

The fair value of any undelivered elements in multiple-element arrangements in connection with the sales of software licenses with professional services are deferred based upon VSOE.

b) Sale of Software as a Service

Sale of software as a service (“SaaS”) consists of revenues from arrangements that provide customers the use of the Company’s software applications, as a service, typically billed on a monthly or annual basis. Advance billings of these services are not recorded to the extent that the term of the arrangement has not commenced and payment has not been received. Revenue on these services is recognized ratably over the term of the underlying arrangement.

c) Sale of Software Maintenance Services

Software maintenance services revenues consist of revenues derived from arrangements that provide PCS to the Company’s software license holders. These revenues are recognized ratably over the term of the contract. Advance billings of PCS are not recorded to the extent that the term of the PCS has not commenced and payment has not been received.

d) Sale of Professional Services

Professional services consist principally of revenues from consulting, advisory services, training and customer assistance with management and uploading of data into the Company’s applications. When these services are provided on a time and material basis, the Company records the revenue as the services are rendered, since the revenues from services rendered through any point in time during the performance period are not contingent upon the completion of any further services. Where the services are provided under a fixed priced arrangement, the Company records the revenue on a proportional performance method, since the revenues from services rendered through any point in time during the performance period are not contingent upon the completion of any further services.

e) Sale of Third Party Services

Sale of third party services consist principally of third party software and/or equipment as a pass through of software and equipment purchased from third parties at the request of customers.

f) Deferred revenues

The Company records deferred revenue primarily related to software maintenance support agreements, when the customer pays for the contract prior to the time the services are performed. Substantially all maintenance agreements have a one-year term that commences immediately following the delivery of the maintained products or on the date of the applicable renewal period.

g) Rights of return and other incentives

The Company does not generally offer rights of return or any other incentives such as concessions, product rotation, or price protection and, therefore, does not provide for or make estimates of rights of return and similar incentives. The Company, from time to time, may discount bundled software sales with PCS services. Such discounts are recorded as a component of the software sale and any revenue related to PCS is deferred over the PCS period based upon appropriate VSOE of fair value.

h) Reseller agreements

The Company executes certain sales contracts through resellers and distributors (collectively, “Resellers”). The Company recognizes revenues relating to sales through Resellers on the sell-through method (when reseller executes sale to end customer) when all the recognition criteria have been met—in other words, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the fee is fixed and determinable, and collectability is probable. In addition, the Company assesses the credit-worthiness of each Reseller, and if the Reseller is undercapitalized or in financial difficulty, any revenues expected to emanate from such Resellers are deferred and recognized only when cash is received and all other revenue recognition criteria are met.

Advertising

The Company expensesWe expense the cost of advertising as incurred. Advertising expense for the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20172021 and 20162020 amounted to approximately $4,420$366 and $23,675,$1,041, respectively, and $6411,691 and $1,587,$3,680, respectively.

Earnings (Loss) Per Share

Basic earningsincome or loss per share is computed by dividing net income or loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted income or loss per share is computed by dividing net income or loss by the diluted weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. The Company hasdiluted weighted average number of shares gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method. Diluted earnings per share exclude all diluted potential shares if their effect is anti-dilutive, including warrants or options which are out-of-the-money and for those periods with a net loss. The three and six months ended June 30, 2021 reported net income, while the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 reported net losses.

We have outstanding stock options which have not been included in the calculation of diluted net loss per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 because to do so would be anti-dilutive. As such, the numerator and the denominator used in computing both basic and diluted net loss per share for each period are the same.

Income Taxes

The Company and its subsidiaryWe file a consolidated federal income tax return.return with our subsidiaries. The provision for income taxes is computed by applying statutory rates to income before taxes.

Deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences in future years of temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities as of each period-end based on enacted tax laws and statutory rates. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. A 100%100% valuation allowance has been established on deferred tax assets at SeptemberJune 30, 20172021 and December 31, 2016,2020, due to the uncertainty of our ability to realize future taxable income.

The Company accountsWe account for uncertainty in income taxes in itsour financial statements as required under ASC 740,Accounting for Uncertainty in Income “Income Taxes. The standard prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The standard also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition accounting. Management determined there were no material uncertain positions taken by the Companyus in itsour tax returns.

5. Business Acquisitions – Earnout Liability

On March 2, 2020, we acquired all of the issued and outstanding stock of Graphic Sciences. The purchase price paid for Graphic Sciences was $3,906,253 in cash plus potential contingent, or earnout, payments of up $833,000 annually over a three year presentation.period based on a gross profit level achieved by Graphic Sciences on an annual basis, for maximum total earnout payments over a three year period of $2,500,000, and with no minimum earnout payments. At the time of this acquisition, management estimated a fair value of the contingent liability—earnout (“earnout liability”) of $686,200 based on the terms of the earnout, and accordingly, recorded this amount as our earnout liability at the acquisition date in accordance with GAAP. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 we recorded a change in fair value of our earnout liabilities in the amount of $0 and $69,950, respectively. On June 8, 2021, we paid $769,733 for the first annual period. At June 30, 2021, our condensed consolidated balance sheets reflected an earnout liability for Graphic Sciences in the amount of $1,410,217. See Note 7 for the estimated fair value of the earnout liability as of June 30, 2021.

On April 21, 2020, we acquired substantially all of the assets of CEO Image.

7. Fair Value Measurements

Under GAAP, fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value hierarchy consists of the following three levels. Level 1 inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 inputs consist of quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in an active market, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable and market-corroborated inputs which are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data. Level 3 inputs are derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or value drivers are unobservable.

The carrying values of cash and equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses, and the PPP loan (prior to forgiveness) approximate fair value because of its short maturity. Management believes that the carrying value of the 2020 Notes approximate fair value given the March 2, 2020 transaction proximity to December 31, 2020 in conjunction with the absence of significant net change in the overall economic environment with regards to availability of credit to Company.

We have earnout liabilities related to our two 2020 acquisitions which are measured on a recurring basis and recorded at fair value, measured using probability-weighted analysis and discounted using a rate that appropriately captures the risks associated with the obligation. The inputs used to calculate the fair value of the earnout liabilities are considered to be Level 3 inputs due to the lack of relevant market activity and significant management judgment. Key unobservable inputs include revenue growth rates, which ranged from 0% to 7%, and volatility rates, which were 20% for gross profits. An increase in future revenues and gross profits may result in a higher estimated fair value while a decrease in future revenues and gross profits may result in a lower estimated fair value of the earnout liabilities.

The following table provides a summary of the changes in fair value of the earnout liabilities for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021:

7.Notes Payable19

On July 17, 2009, Intellinetics Ohio, now the sole operating subsidiary9. Notes Payable – Unrelated Parties

Summary of the Company, issued a note payableNotes Payable to the Ohio State Development Authority in the amount of $1,012,500, bearing interest at a rate of 6.00% per annum (“Authority Loan No. 1”). Pursuant to the terms of the Authority Loan No. 1, Intellinetics Ohio was required to pay only interest through September 30, 2010 and thereafter monthly principal and interest payments of $23,779 each through September 1, 2015. The Authority Loan No. 1 is secured by a senior secured interest on all business assets financed with loan proceeds, as well as a second secured interest in all business assets. Upon maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, Intellinetics Ohio is required to pay a loan participation fee of $101,250, which is accounted for as a loan premium, accreted monthly, utilizing the interest method, over the term of the Authority Loan No. 1. In June 2014, Intellinetics Ohio and the Ohio State Development Authority entered into a Notice and Acknowledgement of Modification to Payment Schedule relating to Authority Loan No.1, deferring a portion of the principal and interest payment until June 1, 2015. On September 25, 2015, Intellinetics Ohio and the Ohio State Development Authority entered into a Third Amendment to the Loan Agreement related to Authority Loan No. 1, deferring a portion of the principal payment until October 1, 2016 and extending the maturity date until August 1, 2018.Unrelated Parties

On June 3, 2011, Intellinetics Ohio issued a note payable to the Ohio State Development Authority in the amount of $750,000, bearing interest at a rate of 1% per annum for the first 12 months, then interest at a rate of 7% per annum for the second 12 months (“Authority Loan No. 2,” and together with Authority Loan No. 1, the “Authority Loans”). Intellinetics Ohio was not obligated to remit payments of principal until September 1, 2013. The monthly principal and interest payments, beginning on the third anniversary of the loan origination, are $14,850 and are payable on a monthly basis through August 1, 2018. The Authority Loan No. 2 is secured by a senior secured interest on all business assets financed with loan proceeds, as well as a second secured interest in all business assets. Upon maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, Intellinetics Ohio is required to pay a loan participation fee of $75,000, which is accounted for as a loan premium, accreted monthly utilizing the interest method, over the term of the Authority Loan No. 2. The interest rate of 1% during the first 12 months of this loan was considered to be below market for that period. Intellinetics Ohio further determined that over the life of the Authority Loan No. 2, the effective interest rate was 5.6% per annum. Accordingly, during the first 12 months of the Authority Loan No. 2, Intellinetics Ohio recorded interest expense at the 5.6% rate per annum. The difference between the interest expense accrual at 5.6% and the stated rate of 1% over the first 12 months is credited to deferred interest. The deferred interest amount that is accumulated over the first 12 months of the loan term will be amortized as a reduction to interest expense over the remaining term of the Authority Loan No. 2. On September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, deferred interest of $154,832 and $158,062, respectively, was reflected within long term liabilities on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. In June 2014, Intellinetics Ohio and the Ohio State Development Authority entered into a Notice and Acknowledgement of Modification to Payment Schedule, deferring a portion of the principal and interest payment until June 1, 2015. On September 25, 2015 Intellinetics Ohio and the Ohio State Development Authority entered into a Third Amendment to the Loan Agreement related to Authority Loan No. 2, deferring a portion of the principal payment until October 1, 2016.

The Authority Loans were granted to Intellinetics Ohio in connection with the State of Ohio’s economic development programs. The proceeds from these loans were used by Intellinetics Ohio to support its efforts in developing software solutions for its customers.

The Authority Loans are subject to certain covenants and reporting requirements. Intellinetics Ohio is required to, within three years of the respective loan origination dates of each of the Authority Loans, have created and/or retained an aggregate of 25 full time jobs in the State of Ohio. If Intellinetics has not attained these employment levels by the respective dates, then the interest rates on the Authority Loans shall increase to 10% per annum. In July 2014, Intellinetics Ohio informed the State of Ohio that it would not meet the required employment level. As a result of this non-compliance with a covenant of Authority Loan No. 1, the Ohio State Development Authority exercised its right to increase the interest rate from 6.0% to 7.0%, effective October 1, 2014. The approximate impact of this increase is to raise Intellinetics Ohio’s balloon payment by $6,000 on Authority Loan No. 1, which is due, as amended on August 1, 2018. Intellinetics Ohio has had past instances of non-compliance with certain of the loan covenants. Intellinetics Ohio is currently in compliance with all the other loan covenants. There can be no assurance that Intellinetics Ohio will not become non-compliant with one or more of these covenants in the future.

The Company evaluated the terms of its convertible notes payable in accordance with ASC 815 – 40, Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity’s Own Stock and determined that the underlying common stock is indexed to the Company’s common stock. The Company determined that the conversion feature did not meet the definition of a liability and therefore did not bifurcate the conversion feature and account for it as a separate derivative liability. The Company evaluated the conversion feature for a beneficial conversion feature. The effective conversion price was compared to the market price on the date of each note. If the conversion price was deemed to be less than the market value of the underlying common stock at the inception of the note, then the Company would recognize a beneficial conversion feature resulting in a discount on the note payable, upon satisfaction of the contingency. The beneficial conversion features are amortized to interest expense over the life of the respective notes, starting from the date of recognition.

Between June 24, 2014 and July 7, 2014, the Company issued convertible promissory notes in an aggregate amount of $135,000 to two accredited investors (“Unrelated Notes due December 31, 2015”). The notes matured on December 31, 2015 and bore interest at an annual rate of interest of 10% until maturity, with interest payable quarterly. The note investors had a right, in their sole discretion, to convert the notes into Shares under certain circumstances at a conversion rate of $0.56 per Share. Because the notes had not been fully repaid by the Company or converted into Shares prior to maturity, the notes began accruing interest at the annual rate of 12% commencing on the maturity date. The Company used the proceeds for working capital, general corporate purposes, and debt repayment. On January 6, 2016, the note investors converted $135,000 of the notes and accrued interest thereon of $35,038 into 303,912 Shares and 141,698 warrants to purchase Shares, as part of a private placement and note exchange commenced in December 2015. The warrants have an exercise price equal to $0.65 per Share and contain a cashless exercise provision. All warrants are immediately exercisable and are exercisable for five years from issuance. Interest expense of $113,762 was recorded on the issuance of these warrants.

Between December 30, 2016, and January 31, 2017, the Company issued convertible promissory notes in an aggregate amount of $875,000 (“Unrelated Notes due December 31, 2018”) to unrelated accredited investors. The notes mature on December 31, 2018, and bear interest at an annual rate of interest of 12% until maturity, with partial interest of 6% payable quarterly. The note investors have a right, in their sole discretion, to convert the notes into Shares under certain circumstances at a conversion rate of $0.65 per Share. If the notes have not been fully repaid by the Company by the maturity date or converted into Shares at the election of the note investors prior to maturity, then such notes will accrue interest at the annual rate of 14% from the maturity date until the date the notes are repaid in full. Any interest not paid quarterly will also accrue interest at the annual rate of 8% instead of 6%. The Company used the proceeds of the notes for working capital, general corporate purposes, and debt repayment. The Company recognized a beneficial conversion feature in the amount of $369,677. Interest expense recognized on the amortization of the beneficial conversion feature was $46,210 and $134,299 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017.

2016-18 Unrelated Party Notes and 2020 Note Conversion

In 2016 through 2018, we issued convertible promissory notes to unrelated parties in an aggregate principal amount of $3,535,000. On March 29, 2012,2, 2020, we entered into amendments to these convertible promissory notes, as well as amendments to convertible promissory notes with related parties (see note 10), that permitted us to convert all of the Companyoutstanding principal and accrued and unpaid interest payable on all outstanding convertible promissory notes into shares of common stock at a reduced conversion rate equal to the purchase price of our common stock issued in the contemporaneous private placement offering. Pursuant thereto, we converted all of the outstanding principal and accrued and unpaid interest payable with respect to all convertible promissory notes, with related parties and with unrelated parties, into a total of 1,433,689 shares of our common stock at a conversion rate of $4.00 per share. Taglich Brothers, Inc. acted as the exclusive placement agent for the note conversion and received compensation (relating to the conversion of both the related and the unrelated notes) of 35,250 shares of our common stock, based on a fee valued at $4.00 per share.

As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, we had federal net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $18,988,000 and $19,129,000, respectively, which can be used to offset future federal income tax. The federal and state net operating loss carry forwards expire at various dates through 2039for pre-2020 losses. The operating losses during and after 2020 do not expire. We recorded a valuation allowance against all of our deferred tax assets as of both June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020. We intend to continue maintaining a full valuation allowance on our deferred tax assets until there is sufficient evidence to support the reversal of all or some portion of these allowances. Release of the valuation allowance would result in the recognition of certain deferred tax assets and a decrease to income tax expense for the period the release is recorded. However, the exact timing and amount of the valuation allowance release are subject to change on the basis of the level of profitability that we are able to actually achieve.

Company Overview

We are a document services and solutions software company serving both the small-to-medium business and governmental sectors. During 2020, we made two significant business acquisitions that have significantly impacted our financial operations and grown our business operations:

Graphic Sciences, on March 2, 2020, and
CEO Image, on April 21, 2020.

For further information about these acquisitions, please see Note 5 to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this report for the threeQuarterly Report.

Our products and nine months ended September 30, 2017.

Company Overview

Intellinetics is a Nevada holding company incorporated in 1997, with a single operating subsidiary, Intellinetics Ohio. Intellinetics Ohio was incorporated in 1996,services are provided through two reporting segments: Document Management and on February 10, 2012, Intellinetics Ohio became the sole operating subsidiaryDocument Conversion. Our Document Management segment, which includes our CEO Image acquisition, consists primarily of Intellinetics as a result of a reverse merger and recapitalization.

The Company is a content services software development, sales, and marketing company serving both the public and private sectors. The Company’ssolutions involving our software platform, allowsallowing customers to capture and manage alltheir documents across operations such as scanned hard-copy documents and all digital documents including those from Microsoft Office 365, digital images, audio, video and emails. The Company’sOur Document Conversion segment, which includes and primarily consists of our Graphic Sciences acquisition, provides assistance to customers as a part of their overall document strategy to convert documents from one medium to another, predominantly paper to digital, including migration to our software solutions, as well as long-term storage and retrieval services. Our solutions create value for customers by making it easy to connect business-critical documents to the processes they drivepeople who need them by making themthose document easy to find and access, while also being secure and compliant with itsthe customers’ audit requirements. Solutions are sold both directly to end-users and through resellers.

Customers obtainOur customers use of the Company’sour software by eitherone of two methods: purchasing our software and installing it for installation onto their own equipment, referredwhich we refer to as a “premise” model, or bylicensing and accessing theour platform via the Internet, referredwhich we refer to as a “cloud-based”“SaaS” or “software as a service” (“SaaS”)model and also as a “cloud-based” model. The Company anticipates that the provision of “cloud” application services, or SaaS cloud-based customer activation, will increase over time and become the priority in the market and the most significant strategic part of its revenue growth opportunity. Our revenues from cloud-based deliveryLicensing of our software includingthrough our SaaS model has become increasingly popular among our customers, especially in light of the increased deployment of remote workforce policies, and is a key ingredient in our revenue growth strategy. Our SaaS products are hosted with Amazon Web Services and Expedient, providing our customers with reliable hosting services asthat we believe maintain the best industry practices in data security.

We hold or compete for leading positions regionally in select markets and 20% respectively.

Our current sales strategy isattribute this leadership to direct our sales efforts toward both sales through intermediaries, such as software developers and resellers and multi- function device resellers, and through direct sales. We have developed marketing programs with resellers that facilitate their selling and support of our software solutions. We refer to these resellers as our “channel partners.” We believe that our channel partner strategy improvements have increasedseveral factors including the competitive strength of our platformbrand name and reputation, our comprehensive offering of products. In addition, we have established a setinnovative solutions, and the quality of business solutions templates that provide base software configurations which we believe will facilitate our delivery and installationservice support. Net growth in sales of software to our customers.as a service in recent years reflects market demand for these solutions over traditional sales of on-premise software. We believe that these advancements, in the aggregate, will allow usexpect to license and sell our products to a broader customer base, shortening our sales cycle, making margins more consistent, and allowing us to expand our sales through new channel partnerships and direct customers. We continue to devote significant efforts, in both developmentbenefit from our select niche leader positions, innovative product offering, growing installed base, and marketing, in enhancing all channels to market.

Revenues

Revenues are generated from the licensing, subscription and maintenance of our enterprise software products and from professional services fees in connection with the implementation and integration of software applications. Our revenues, especially our license revenues, are impacted by the effectivenessimpact of our sales and marketing effortsprograms.

Cost of Revenues

We maintain a staff of software design engineers, developers, installers and customer support personnel, dedicated to the development and implementation of customer applications, customer support and maintenance of deployed software applications. While the total costs related to these personnel are relatively consistent from period to period, the cost of revenues categories to which these costs are charged may vary depending on the type of work performed by our staff.

Costs of revenues also include the costs of server hosting and SaaS applications, as well as certain third-party costs and hardware costs incurred. Third-party and hardware costs may vary widely from quarter to quarter.

How We Evaluate our Business Performance and Opportunities

Major Quantitative and Qualitative Factors we Consider inThere has been no material change during the Evaluation of our Business

Thesix month period 2021 to the major qualitative and quantitative factors we consider in the evaluation of our operating results includeas set forth in Part II, Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — How We Evaluate our Business Performance and Opportunities” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the following:fiscal year ended December 31, 2020.

27
 Our current strategy is to focus upon cloud-based delivery of our software products through channel partners and direct sales. Historically, our revenues have mostly resulted from premise-based software licensing revenue and professional services revenue. Our observation of industry trends leads us to anticipate that cloud-based delivery will become our principal software business and a primary source of revenues for us, and we are beginning to see our customers migrate to cloud-based services. Accordingly, when we evaluate our results, we assess whether our cloud-based software revenues are increasing, relative to prior periods and relative to other sources of revenue. Additionally, we assess whether our sales resulting from relationships with channel partners are increasing, relative to prior periods and relative to direct sales to customers.
Our customer engagements often involve the development and licensing of customer-specific software solutions and related consulting and software maintenance services. When analyzing whether to undertake a particular customer engagement, we often consider all of the following factors as part of our overall strategy to grow the business: (i) the profit margins the project may yield, (ii) whether the project will allow us to enter a new geographic or vertical market, (iii) whether the project would enable us to demonstrate our capabilities to large national resellers, or (iv) whether the project would help to develop new product and service features that we could integrate into our suite of products, resulting in an overall product portfolio that better aligns with the needs of our target customers. As a result of this pipeline analysis, we may take on projects with a lower project margin if we determine that the project is valuable to our business for the other reasons discussed.
For direct sales, our sales cycle and implementation can be long, sometimes lasting 6-9 months. Even when a project begins, we often perform pre-installation assessment, project scoping, and implementation consulting. Therefore, when we plan our business and evaluate our results, we consider the revenue we expect to recognize from projects in our late-stage pipeline.
Our research and development efforts and expenses to create new software products are critical to our success. When developing new products or product enhancements, our developers collaborate with our own employees across a wide variety of job functions. We also gather in-depth feedback from our customers and channel partners. We evaluate new products and services to determine their likelihood of market success and their potential profitability.
We monitor our costs and capital needs to ensure efficiency as well as an adequate level of support for our business plan.

Financial Impact of COVID-19

The spread of the COVID-19 pandemic and developments surrounding this global pandemic have had, and we expect will continue to have, a significant impact on our business, operations, financial condition and results of operations.

For approximately three months beginning in late March 2020, our Graphic Services business operations, which constitute a majority of our professional services revenues, were substantially reduced while the State of Michigan’s stay-at-home order was in effect, during which period we were only able to process work orders deemed “essential” by the State of Michigan. While there has not been a meaningful cancellation of future jobs or current contracts for our Graphic Services business operations, many of our customers have been adversely affected by the pandemic and related business restrictions and certain customers continue to be slow to resume operations to pre-pandemic levels, and certain customers may never fully return. In particular, the State of Michigan, our biggest customer, has not fully resumed normal operations, resulting in a decrease in the volume of work orders for our Document Conversion segment. In addition, we are seeing inconsistent demand in certain other areas of our operations, even though those operations are still currently open for business with mostly remote staff.

In addition, the majority of our Ohio employees are continuing to work remotely. Many of our clients operate in a variety of other states, which had differing time periods in which their operations have been, currently or may in the future be restricted due to COVID-19. Even though we have been able to fully resume our operations, we expect to see continued weakened demand in light of reduced governmental and small-business spending and general economic uncertainty.

Looking ahead, the ongoing impact of COVID-19 on our business continues to evolve and be unpredictable. For example, to the extent the pandemic continues to disrupt economic activity we, like other businesses, are not immune to continued adverse impacts to our business, operations and financial results from decreases in customer spending, the adverse impact on the liquidity of our customers, depressed economic activity, or volatility in capital markets. The extent of the impact will depend on a number of factors, including the duration and severity of the pandemic; the uneven impact to certain industries; advances in testing, treatment and prevention; the macroeconomic impact of government measures to contain the spread of the virus and related government stimulus measures. To address the potential impact to our business, we have engaged, and continue to assess and engage, in aggressive efforts to reduce expenses and preserve cash flow in order to address the effects of COVID-19 on our business, operations and results. Additionally, we have instituted safe distancing practices and additional cleaning procedures for all our company offices, as well as established work-from-home policies wherever feasible, in order to prevent or mitigate future outbreaks and disruptions to our business. At the same time, we believe the current environment is accelerating digital transformation and we remain focused on innovating and investing in the services we offer to our customers. Accordingly, the ongoing impact of COVID-19 and the extent of these measures we may implement could have a material impact on our financial results.

Uncertainties, Trends, and Risks that can cause Fluctuations in our Operating Results

Our operating results have fluctuated significantly in the past and are expected to continue to fluctuate in the future due to a variety of factors. Factorsfactors, in addition to COVID-19, that affectare discussed in Part I, Item IA, “Risk Factors” and in Part II, Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Uncertainties, Trends, and Risks that can cause Fluctuations in our operating results includeOperating Results” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the following:

our capital needs, and the costs at which we are able to obtain capital;
general economic conditions that affect the amount our customers are spending on their software needs, the cost at which we can provide software products and services, and the costs at which we can obtain capital;
the development of new products, requiring development expenses, product rollout, and market acceptance;
the length of our sales cycle;
the fact that many of our customers are governmental organizations, exposing us to the risk of early termination, audits, investigations, sanctions, and other penalties not typically associated with private customers;
our relationships with our channel partners, for purposes of product delivery, introduction to new markets and customers, and for feedback on product development;
our need to increase expenses at the beginning of a customer project, while associated revenue is recognized over the life of the project;
the potential effect of security breaches, data center infrastructure capacity, our use of open-source software, and governmental regulation and litigation over data privacy and security;
whether our clients renew their agreements and timely remit our accounts receivable;
whether we can license third-party software on reasonable terms;
our ability to protect and utilize our intellectual property; and
the effects of litigation, warranty claims, and other claims and proceedings.

fiscal year ended December 31, 2020. Due to all these factors and the other risks discussed in Part I,this Item IA of2, our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016, ourpast results of operations should not be relied upon as an indication of our future performance. Comparisons of our operating results with prior periods is not necessarily meaningful or indicative of future performance.

Executive Overview of Results

The biggest factors in the changes in our results of operations during the second quarter 2021 compared to the second quarter 2020, and the six month period 2021 compared to the six month period 2020 were our acquisitions of Graphic Sciences on March 2, 2020 and, to a much lesser extent, CEO Image on April 21, 2020, and the impact of the COVID-19 stay-at-home orders in Michigan and Ohio during most of the second quarter 2020. Our results for the six month period 2021 include the results of Graphic Sciences and CEO Image operations for the full period, while our six month period 2020 results include only approximately four month’s results of Graphic Sciences operations, and two month’s results of CEO Image.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We have financed our operations primarily through a combination of cash on hand, cash generated from operations, borrowings from third parties and related parties, and proceeds from issuanceprivate sales of convertible promissory notes. As of September 30, 2017, our major liquidity indicators are:

Cash $183,703
Working Capital Deficiency $(1,477,396)

From our inception,equity. Since 2012, we have generated revenues from the sales and implementation of our internally generated software applications. Our plan is to increase our sales and market share by developing an expanded network of resellers through which we expect to sell our expanded software product portfolio, as well as continue selling directly. We expect that this marketing initiative will require us to continue our efforts towards reseller training and on-boarding, enhance lead generation activities, and develop additional software integration and customization capabilities, all of which will require additional capital. Although management believes that we may have access to additional capital resources, there is no assurance that we will be able to obtain funds on commercially acceptable terms, if at all.

On January 5 and January 30, 2017, the Company entered into note purchase agreements with certain accredited investors for a private placement of convertible notes for gross proceeds of $560,000, which was part of a private placement in December 2016. The offering raised a total of $1,250,000approximately $18.6 million in the sale of these unregistered securities. The proceeds from these notes were used primarily to fund our working capital needs and general corporate purposes, including without limitation, debt reduction.

On September 21, 2017, the Company entered into note purchase agreements with certain accredited investors for a private placement of convertible notes for net proceeds of $150,000. The proceeds from these notes were used primarily to fund our working capital needs and general corporate purposes, including without limitation, debt reduction.

The Company expects thatcash through the next 12 months the capital requirements to fund the Company’s growth and to cover the operating costs as a public company will consume substantially all the cash flows that it intends to generate from its operations, in addition to the proceeds from the issuances of debt and equity securities. The Company further believes that during this period, while the Company is focusing on the growthAs of June 30, 2021, we had $1,140,631 in cash and expansioncash equivalents, net working capital deficit of its business, the gross profit that it expects to generate$380,126, and an accumulated deficit of approximately $22 million. In June 2021, we paid $954,733 in annual earnout liabilities, reducing our net cash from operations mayfor the second quarter 2021.

In 2020, we engaged in several actions that significantly improved our liquidity and cash flows, including:

acquiring the positive cash flow generated by Graphic Sciences and CEO Image,
receiving aggregate gross proceeds of $3.5 million from the private placement of our common stock,
converting all of the outstanding principal and accrued interest payable on our then-existing convertible debt in the approximate amount of $6 million into shares of common stock at a conversion price of $4.00 per share, and
receiving $2.0 million in proceeds from the issuance of 12% subordinated promissory notes due February 29, 2023, which we refer to as the 2020 notes, and
obtaining the PPP loan in the principal amount of $838,700, the principal and interest on which was forgiven in its entirety by the SBA in January 2021.

Overall, we reduced our outstanding debt by approximately $3 million during 2020 and have not generate sufficient funds to cover these anticipated operating costs. incurred any new debt in 2021.

Indebtedness

As of June 30, 2021, our only outstanding long-term indebtedness consisted of the 2020 notes issued to accredited investors on March 2, 2020, with an aggregate outstanding principal balance of $2,000,000 and service for existing current debt obligations.

There is no assurance that the Company’s plans as discussed above will materialize and/or that the Company will have sufficient fundsaccrued interest of $0. See Note 9 to fund the Company’s operations. Given these conditions, the Company ability to continue as a going concern is contingent upon successfully managing its cash requirements.

Assuming that we are successful in our growth plans and development efforts, we believe that we will be able to raise additional funds through sales of our common stock, issuance of debt or some other financing source. There is no guarantee that we will be able to raise these additional funds or do so on acceptable terms.

Ourcondensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classificationincluded in Part 1, Item 1 of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

There have been no significantThe preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance 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 monitor and analyze these items for changes duringin facts and circumstances, and material changes in these estimates could occur in the three months ended September 30, 2017 to the itemsfuture. We base our estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various other factors that we disclosed asbelieve 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. Changes in estimates are reflected in reported results for the period in which they become known. The actual results experienced by us may differ materially 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.

Our critical accounting policies and use of estimates are set forth in ourPart II, Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations”Operations – Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016.

Liquidity, Going Concern and Management’s Plans

We have incurred substantial recurring losses since2020. There were no material changes to our inception. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. During the years 2012 through 2017 we raised a total of $9,383,610 through issuance of debt and equity securities. We are also in the process of exploring strategies to increase our existing revenues. We believe we will be successful in these efforts; however, there can be no assurance we will be successful in raising additional debt or equity financing or finding any other financing source to fund our operations on terms agreeable to us.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of our consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to exercise its judgment. We exercise considerable judgment with respect to establishing soundcritical accounting policies and in making estimates and assumptions that affectduring the reported amounts of our assets and liabilities, our recognition of revenues and expenses, and other financial information.second quarter 2021.

On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates and judgments. Areas in which we exercise significant judgment include, but are not necessarily limited to, our valuation of accounts receivable, and income taxes, along with the estimated useful lives of depreciable property and equipment.ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

We base our estimates and judgments on a variety of factors, including our historical experience, knowledge of our business and industry, current and expected economic conditions, and the attributes of our products and services. We periodically re-evaluate our estimates and assumptions with respect to these judgments and modify our approach when circumstances indicate that modifications are necessary.

While we believe that the factors we evaluate provide us with a meaningful basis for establishing and applying sound accounting policies, we cannot guarantee that the results will always be accurate. Since the determination of these estimates requires the exercise of judgment, actual results could differ from such estimates.

A description of significant accounting policies that require us to make significant estimates and assumptions in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements is the allowance for doubtful accounts and valuation allowance for deferred tax assets.

We establish allowances for doubtful accounts based on certain percentages of accounts sixty days or more past due and when available information causes us to believe that credit loss is probable. Due to historical losses, a full valuation allowance is recognized on deferred tax assets.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.Procedures

(a) Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures.

WithOur management, with the participation of our principal executive officerChief Executive Officer and principal financial officer, weChief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant(as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) at the end of the period covered by this this Quarterly Report.

Based on this evaluation, we concluded that, as of June 30, 2021, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to Rule 13a-15provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act. Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

In designing and evaluating theour disclosure controls and procedures, we recognizemanagement recognizes that any controls and procedures,system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving theits desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that we aremanagement is required to apply ourits judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.

Based on our evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as required under Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act as a result of the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting.

The material weakness, which relates to internal control over financial reporting, that was identified is:

37
 We did not maintain technical accounting knowledge, and training in the application of GAAP commensurate with our complexity and our financial accounting and reporting requirements. In connection with the audit of the December 31, 2015 consolidated financial statements a number of required adjustments were identified by our independent registered public accounting firm related to our private offering of stock and warrants and the conversion of convertible debt conducted in December 2015. Since 2015, the Company has taken the remedial action described below, but this action was not taken until late 2016. As a result, insufficient time has passed to determine that the material weakness has been resolved, and there is a reasonable possibility that material misstatements of the consolidated financial statements, including disclosures, will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

We are committed to continually improving our financial organization, and from time to time we adopt additional processes and procedures over financial reporting. In addition, we will continue to evaluate the need and costs to increase our personnel resources and technical accounting expertise within the accounting function. In November 2016, we hired Joseph D. Spain as Controller, and he was appointed Chief Financial Officer in December 2016 when our former Chief Financial Officer resigned. We believe Mr. Spain has the requisite skill and knowledge to facilitate the Company’s effective internal control over financial reporting. As our operations are relatively small, we do not anticipate being able to hire additional internal personnel until such time as our operations are large enough to justify the hiring of additional accounting personnel. As necessary, we may engage consultants in the future in order to ensure proper accounting for our consolidated financial statements.

(b) Changes in internal control over financial reporting.Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

We regularly review our system of internal control over financial reporting and make changes to our processes and systems to improve controls and increase efficiency, while ensuring that we maintain an effective internal control environment. Changes may include such activities as implementing new, more efficient systems, consolidating activities, and migrating processes. There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the nine months ended September 30, 2017period covered by this Quarterly Report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act).

We regularly review our internal control over financial reporting and, from time to time, we have made changes as we deemed appropriate to maintain and enhance the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting, although these changes do not have a material effect on our overall internal control.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS.

Our business and operating results are subject to many risks, uncertainties and other factors. If any of these risks were to occur, our business, affairs, assets, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and prospects could be materially and adversely affected. These risks, uncertainties and other factors includeExcept as supplemented by the information discussed elsewhere in this report as well asfollowing, there have been no material changes to the risk factors set forth in “Item 1A. Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” inFactors,” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016,2020:

Increases in the minimum wage and general labor costs, could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Labor is a significant portion of our cost structure and is subject to many external factors, including minimum wage laws, prevailing wage rates, unemployment levels, health insurance costs and other insurance costs and changes in employment and labor legislation or other workplace regulation. From time to time, legislative proposals are made to increase the federal minimum wage in the United States, as well as the minimum wage in Michigan and Ohio and municipalities, and to reform entitlement programs, such as health insurance and paid leave programs. On April 27, 2021, President Biden issued an Executive Order, effective January 30, 2022, requiring certain federal contractors to pay a $15 minimum wage to workers who work on federal contracts and to adjust that rate annually according to the consumer price index. While we do not currently have any federal contracts and are not directly affected by the Executive Order, the Executive Order may affect us in the future; it may influence other state and municipal jurisdictions to increase their statutory minimum wage; or it may significantly contribute to the overall increase in prevailing wage rates. As minimum wage rates increase or related laws and regulations change, we may need to increase not only the wage rates of our minimum wage employees, but also the wages paid to our other hourly or salaried employees. Any increase in the cost of our labor could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations, or if we fail to pay such higher wages we could suffer increased employee turnover. Increases in labor costs generally could force us to increase prices for other customers, which could adversely impact our sales. For some customers with multi-year fixed pricing contracts, increases in the minimum wage could decrease our profit margins or result in losses and could have not materially changed asa material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of the date of this report.operations.
