NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Amounts in thousands, except share data)
(unaudited)
1. Summary of significant accounting policies
(a) Basis of preparation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Red Violet, Inc. (“red violet” or the “Company”), a Delaware corporation, have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) and applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission regarding interim financial reporting. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all normal recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the interim periods, but are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be anticipated for any future interim periods or for the full year ending December 31, 2020.
The information included in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 (“2019 Form 10-K”).
The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2019 included herein was derived from the audited financial statements as of that date included in the 2019 Form 10-K, but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP.
The Company has only
Principles of consolidation
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries. All significant transactions among the Company and its subsidiaries have been eliminated upon consolidation.
(b) Recently issued accounting standards
As an emerging growth company, the Company has left open the opportunity to take advantage of the extended transition period provided to emerging growth companies in Section 13(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), however, it is the Company’s present intention to adopt any applicable new accounting standards timely.
In June 2016, FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13 (“ASU 2016-13”), “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments.” In November 2018, FASB issued ASU No. 2018-19, “Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses,” which amends the scope and transition requirements of ASU 2016-13. Topic 326 requires a financial asset (or a group of financial assets) measured at amortized cost basis to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected. The measurement of expected credit losses is based on relevant information about past events, including historical experience, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the reported amount. Topic 326 became effective for public companies beginning January 1, 2020, and the Company adopted it on a modified retrospective approach. The guidance had no material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In August 2018, FASB issued ASU No. 2018-15 (“ASU 2018-15”), “Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer's Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract,” which requires an entity (customer) in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract to follow the guidance in Subtopic 350-40 to determine which implementation costs to capitalize as an asset related to the service contract and which costs to expense. It also requires the entity (customer) to expense the capitalized implementation costs of a hosting arrangement that is a service contract over the term of the hosting arrangement, which includes reasonably certain renewals. This guidance will be effective for the Company for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2020, on a retrospective or prospective basis and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

2. Loss per share
Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the periods. Diluted loss per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock and is calculated using the treasury stock method for unvested shares. Common equivalent shares are excluded from the calculation in the loss periods as their effects would be anti-dilutive.

In accordance with ASC 350, “Intangibles - Goodwill and Other,” goodwill is tested at least annually for impairment, or when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable, by assessing qualitative factors or performing a quantitative analysis in determining whether it is more likely than not that its fair value exceeds the carrying value. The measurement date of the Company’s annual goodwill impairment test is
As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019,
5. Revenue recognition
On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASC 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers,” (“Topic 606”) using the modified retrospective method applied to all contracts that were not completed contracts at the date of initial application. Revenue is recognized when control of goods or services is transferred to the Company’s customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. The Company’s performance obligation is to provide on demand solutions to its customers by leveraging its proprietary technology and applying machine learning and advanced analytics to its massive data repository. The pricing for the customer contracts is based on usage, a monthly fee, or a combination of both.
Available within Topic 606, the Company has applied the portfolio approach practical expedient in accounting for customer revenue as one collective group, rather than individual contracts. Based on the Company’s historical knowledge of the contracts contained in this portfolio and the similar nature and characteristics of the customers, the Company has concluded the financial statement effects are not materially different than if accounting for revenue on a contract by contract basis.
Revenue is recognized over a period of time since the performance obligation is delivered in a series. The Company’s customers simultaneously receive and consume the benefits provided by the Company’s performance as and when provided. Furthermore, the Company has elected the “right to invoice” practical expedient, available within Topic 606, as its measure of progress, since it has a right to payment from a customer in an amount that corresponds directly with the value of its performance completed-to-date. The Company's revenue arrangements do not contain significant financing components.
For the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019,
If a customer pays consideration before the Company transfers services to the customer, those amounts are classified as deferred revenue. As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the balance of deferred revenue was $
As of March 31, 2020, $
Sales commissions are incurred and recorded on an ongoing basis over the term of the customer relationship. These costs are recorded in sales and marketing expenses.
In addition, the Company elected the practical expedient to not disclose the value of unsatisfied performance obligations for (i) contracts with an original expected length of one year or less and (ii) contracts for which the Company recognizes revenue at the amount to which it has the right to invoice for services performed.
6. Income taxes
The Company is subject to federal and state income taxes in the United States. The Company’s tax provision for interim periods is determined using an estimate of its annual effective tax rate, adjusted for discrete items arising in that quarter. In each quarter, the Company updates its estimate of the annual effective tax rate, and if its estimated annual tax rate changes, the Company makes a cumulative adjustment in that quarter.
The Company’s effective income tax rate differed from the statutory federal income tax rate of

(b) Contingencies
The Company establishes accruals for those contingencies where the incurrence of a loss is probable and can be reasonably estimated, and it discloses the amount accrued and the amount of a reasonably possible loss in excess of the amount accrued, if such disclosure is necessary for our financial statements to not be misleading. To estimate whether a loss contingency should be accrued by a charge to income, the Company evaluates, among other factors, the degree of probability of an unfavorable outcome and the ability to make a reasonable estimate of the amount of the loss. The Company does not record liabilities when the likelihood that the liability has been incurred is probable, but the amount cannot be reasonably estimated.
The Company may be involved in litigation from time to time in the ordinary course of business. The Company does not believe that the ultimate resolution of any such matters will have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. However, the results of such matters cannot be predicted with certainty and the Company cannot assure you that the ultimate resolution of any legal or administrative proceeding or dispute will not have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

(c) Covid-19 update
In December 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus, now known as Covid-19 (“Covid-19”), was reported in Wuhan, China and has since extensively impacted the global health and economic environment. In March 2020, the World Health Organization characterized Covid-19 as a pandemic. The Company has taken numerous steps, and will continue to take further actions, in its approach to minimizing the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic. As a result of the Covid-19 pandemic, to ensure the health and well-being of our employees, the Company instructed employees at its offices to work from home on a temporary basis. The Company has implemented cost containment strategies across all areas of the organization, including continued curtailment of Company travel and partnering with suppliers, landlords and vendors for price concessions and payment deferrals during this interim period. In the second half of March, as preventative and protective actions were taken by governments, including the implementation of stay-at-home orders, we experienced reduced transactional volume that we believe was a result of customers adjusting to the effects of these stay-at-home orders. Beginning April 1, 2020, the Company elected, under Section 2302 of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”), to defer payment of the employer portion of Social Security payroll tax. Under the CARES Act, employers can forgo timely payment of the employer portion of Social Security taxes that would otherwise be due from March 27, 2020 through December 31, 2020, without penalty or interest charges. Employers must pay 50% of the deferred amount by December 31, 2021, and the remainder by December 31, 2022. The Company will continue to assess the CARES Act and other applicable government-related legislation aimed at assisting businesses during the Covid-19 pandemic. Given the dynamic nature of this health emergency, the full impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on the Company’s ongoing business, results of operations and overall financial performance cannot be reasonably estimated at this time.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
You should read the following discussion and analysis in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (“Form 10-Q”). This Form 10-Q contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (“PSLRA”), Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (the “Exchange Act”), about our expectations, beliefs, or intentions regarding our business, financial condition, results of operations, strategies, or prospects. You can identify forward-looking statements by the fact that these statements do not relate strictly to historical or current matters. Rather, forward-looking statements relate to anticipated or expected events, activities, trends, or results as of the date they are made. Because forward-looking statements relate to matters that have not yet occurred, these statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual results to differ materially from any future results expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. Many factors could cause our actual activities or results to differ materially from the activities and results anticipated in forward-looking statements, including the impact of the coronavirus (“Covid-19”) pandemic on our operating results. These factors include those contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, as well as the disclosures made in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 filed on March 12, 2020 (“2019 Form 10-K”), and other filings we make with the Securities and Exchange Commission. We do not undertake any obligation to update forward-looking statements, except as required by law. We intend that all forward-looking statements be subject to the safe harbor provisions of PSLRA. These forward-looking statements are only predictions and reflect our views as of the date they are made with respect to future events and financial performance. To the extent that our business is negatively impacted due to a variety of factors, including the impact of Covid-19 on our operating results, we may implement longer-term cost reduction efforts in order to mitigate such impacts.
References in this discussion and analysis to “we,” “us,” “our,” “red violet,” or the “Company,” refer to Red Violet, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries.
Overview
Red Violet, Inc. (“we,” “us,” “our,” “red violet,” or the “Company”), a Delaware corporation, is dedicated to making the world a safer place and reducing the cost of doing business. We specialize in data fusion and analytics, providing cloud-based, mission-critical solutions to enterprises with use cases including fraud detection, risk mitigation, due diligence and marketing. Through our intelligent platform, CORETM, we uncover the relevance of disparate data points utilizing our analytical capabilities to provide real-time and insightful views of people, businesses, assets and their interrelationships.
Leveraging proprietary technology and applying machine learning and advanced analytical and decision-making capabilities, CORE provides compelling solutions to public and private sector organizations through intuitive, easy-to-use analytical applications. We empower clients across markets and industries to better execute all aspects of their business, from managing risk, recovering debt, identifying fraud and abuse, and ensuring legislative compliance, to identifying and acquiring customers. With a massive data repository of approximately nine petabytes of public-record, proprietary and publicly-available data, as well as self-reported consumer information and behavioral signals, we transform data into intelligence for our customers to enable better data-driven decisioning.
We presently market our solutions primarily through two brands, idiCORE™, our flagship product, and FOREWARN®. idiCORE is a next-generation, investigative solution used to address a variety of organizational challenges including due diligence, risk mitigation, identity authentication and legislative compliance, by financial services companies, insurance companies, healthcare companies, law enforcement and government, collections, law firms, retail, telecommunication companies, corporate security and investigative firms. FOREWARN is an app-based solution currently tailored for the real estate industry, providing instant knowledge prior to face-to-face engagement with a consumer, helping professionals identify and mitigate risk. As of March 31, 2020 and 2019, idiCORE had 5,326 and 4,020 billable customers and FOREWARN had 36,506 and 15,444 users, respectively. The Company defines a billable customer of idiCORE as a single entity that generated revenue in the last month of the period. Billable customers are typically corporate organizations. In most cases, corporate organizations will have multiple users and/or departments purchasing our solutions, however, the Company counts the entire organization as a discrete customer. The Company defines a user of FOREWARN as a unique person that has a subscription to use the FOREWARN service as of the last day of the period. A unique person can only have one user account.
14
We generate substantially all of our revenue from licensing our solutions. Customers access our solutions through a hosted environment using an online interface, batch processing, API and custom integrations. We recognize revenue from licensing fees (a) on a transactional basis determined by the customer’s usage, (b) via a monthly fee or (c) from a combination of both. Revenue pursuant to pricing contracts containing a monthly fee is recognized ratably over the contract period. Pricing contracts are generally annual contracts or longer, with auto renewal. Revenue from pricing contracts represented 69% and 67% of total revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
Our go-to-market strategy leverages (a) an inside sales team that cultivates relationships, and ultimately closes business, with their end-user markets, (b) a strategic sales team that provides a more personal, face-to-face approach for major accounts within certain industries, and (c) distributors, resellers, and strategic partners that have a significant foothold in many of the industries that we have not historically served, as well as to further penetrate those industries that we do serve. Our sales model generally begins with a free trial followed by an initial purchase on a transactional basis or minimum-committed monthly spend. As organizations derive benefits from our solutions, we are able to “land and expand” within larger organizations as additional use cases expand across departments, divisions and geographic locations and customers become increasingly reliant on our solutions in their daily workflow.
In order for us to continue to develop new products, grow our existing business and expand into additional markets, we must generate and sustain sufficient operating profits and cash flow in future periods. This will require us to generate additional sales from current products and new products currently under development. We continue to build out our sales organization to drive current products and to introduce new products into the marketplace.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations are based upon our condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to the allowance for doubtful accounts, useful lives of property and equipment and intangible assets, recoverability of the carrying amounts of goodwill and intangible assets, share-based compensation and income tax provision. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
For additional information, please refer to our 2019 Form 10-K. There have been no material changes to Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates disclosed in our 2019 Form 10-K.

Use and Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Management evaluates the financial performance of our business on a variety of key indicators, including non-GAAP metrics of adjusted EBITDA, adjusted gross profit and adjusted gross margin. Adjusted EBITDA is a financial measure equal to net loss, the most directly comparable financial measure based on GAAP, excluding interest income, net, depreciation and amortization, share-based compensation expense, litigation costs, net, and write-off of long-lived assets and others, as noted in the tables below. We define adjusted gross profit as revenue less cost of revenue (exclusive of depreciation and amortization), and adjusted gross margin as adjusted gross profit as a percentage of revenue.

In order to assist readers of our condensed consolidated financial statements in understanding the operating results that management uses to evaluate the business and for financial planning purposes, we present non-GAAP measures of adjusted EBITDA, adjusted gross profit and adjusted gross margin as supplemental measures of our operating performance. We believe they provide useful information to our investors as they eliminate the impact of certain items that we do not consider indicative of our cash operations and ongoing operating performance. In addition, we use them as an integral part of our internal reporting to measure the performance and operating strength of our business.
16
We believe adjusted EBITDA, adjusted gross profit and adjusted gross margin are relevant and provide useful information frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in their evaluation of the operating performance of companies similar to ours and are indicators of the operational strength of our business. We believe adjusted EBITDA eliminates the uneven effect of considerable amounts of non-cash depreciation and amortization, share-based compensation expense and the impact of other non-recurring items, providing useful comparisons versus prior periods or forecasts. Our adjusted gross profit is a measure used by management in evaluating the business’s current operating performance by excluding the impact of prior historical costs of assets that are expensed systematically and allocated over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which may not be indicative of the current operating activity. Our adjusted gross profit is calculated by using revenue, less cost of revenue (exclusive of depreciation and amortization). We believe adjusted gross profit provides useful information to our investors by eliminating the impact of non-cash depreciation and amortization, and specifically the amortization of software developed for internal use, providing a baseline of our core operating results that allow for analyzing trends in our underlying business consistently over multiple periods. Adjusted gross margin is calculated as adjusted gross profit as a percentage of revenue.
Adjusted EBITDA, adjusted gross profit and adjusted gross margin are not intended to be performance measures that should be regarded as an alternative to, or more meaningful than, financial measures presented in accordance with GAAP. The way we measure adjusted EBITDA, adjusted gross profit and adjusted gross margin may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies, and may not be identical to corresponding measures used in our various agreements.
Results of Operations
Three months ended March 31, 2020 compared to three months ended March 31, 2019
Revenue. Revenue increased $3.6 million or 62% to $9.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 from $5.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019. This increase was driven by strong growth in usage from existing customers. Revenue from new customers increased $0.2 million or 10%, base revenue from existing customers increased $3.0 million or 84%, and growth revenue from existing customers increased $0.4 million or 46% for the three months ended March 31, 2020 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2019, respectively. Our idiCORE billable customer base grew from 4,020 customers as of March 31, 2019 to 5,326 customers as of March 31, 2020. Revenue from new customers represents the total monthly revenue generated from new customers in a given period. A customer is defined as a new customer during the first six months of revenue generation. Base revenue from existing customers represents the total monthly revenue generated from existing customers in a given period that does not exceed the customers' trailing six-month average revenue. A customer is defined as an existing customer six months after their initial month of revenue. Growth revenue from existing customers represents the total monthly revenue generated from existing customers in a given period in excess of the customers' trailing six-month average revenue.
Cost of revenue (exclusive of depreciation and amortization). Cost of revenue increased $0.6 million or 23% to $3.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 from $2.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019. Our cost of revenue primarily includes data acquisition costs. Data acquisition costs consist primarily of the costs to acquire data either on a transactional basis or through flat-fee data licensing agreements, including unlimited usage agreements. We continue to enhance the breadth and depth of our data through the addition and expansion of relationships with key data suppliers, including our largest data supplier, which accounted for approximately 39% of our total data acquisition costs for the three months ended March 31, 2020 compared to approximately 41% for the three months ended March 31, 2019. Other cost of revenue items include expenses related to third-party infrastructure fees.
As the construct of our data costs is primarily a flat-fee, unlimited usage model, the cost of revenue as a percentage of revenue decreased to 35% for the three months ended March 31, 2020 from 47% for the three months ended March 31, 2019. We expect that cost of revenue as a percentage of revenue will continue to decrease over the coming years as our revenue increases. Historically, at scale, the industry business model’s cost of revenue will trend between 15% and 30% as a percentage of revenue.
Sales and marketing expenses. Sales and marketing expenses increased $0.7 million or 45% to $2.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 from $1.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019. Sales and marketing expenses consist of salaries and benefits, advertising and marketing, travel expenses, and share-based compensation expense, incurred by our sales team, and provision for bad debts. The increase during the three months ended March 31, 2020 was primarily attributable to an aggregate of $0.5 million increase in salaries and benefits, as we continue to invest in the expansion of our sales organization, and sales commissions from increased revenue.
General and administrative expenses. General and administrative expenses increased $2.0 million or 87% to $4.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 from $2.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019. The increase during the three months ended March 31, 2020 was primarily attributable to the $1.9 million increase in share-based compensation expense, resulting from the achievement of certain performance-based milestones and certain new grants issued after the first quarter of 2019, as outlined in Note 8, “Share-based compensation,” included in “Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.”
17
For the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, our general and administrative expenses consisted primarily of employee salaries and benefits of $1.2 million and $1.0 million, share-based compensation expense of $2.1 million and $0.2 million, and professional fees of $0.6 million and $0.7 million, respectively.
Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization expenses increased $0.3 million or 47% to $0.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 from $0.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019. The increase in depreciation and amortization for the three months ended March 31, 2020 resulted primarily from the amortization of software developed for internal use that became ready for its intended use after March 31, 2019.
Loss before income taxes. We had a loss before income taxes of $1.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 as compared to $1.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019. The slight increase in loss before income taxes was primarily attributable to the increase in noncash share-based compensation expense of $1.9 million, salaries and benefits and sales commission of $0.7 million, and depreciation and amortization of $0.3 million, which was partially offset by the increase in revenue and the decrease in our cost of revenue as a percentage of revenue.
Income taxes. Income tax expense of $0 was recognized for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019. A full valuation allowance on the deferred tax assets was recognized as of March 31, 2020 and 2019. See Note 6, “Income Taxes,” included in “Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements,” for details.
Net loss. A net loss of $1.5 million was recognized for the three months ended March 31, 2020 as compared to $1.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019, as a result of the foregoing.
Effect of Inflation
The rates of inflation experienced in recent years have had no material impact on our financial statements. We attempt to recover increased costs by increasing prices for our services, to the extent permitted by contracts and competition.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash flows provided by (used in) operating activities. For the three months ended March 31, 2020, net cash provided by operating activities was $1.2 million, primarily the result of the net loss of $1.5 million, adjusted for certain non-cash items (consisting of share-based compensation expense, depreciation and amortization, write-off of long-lived assets, provision for bad debts and noncash lease expenses) totaling $3.4 million, and the cash used as a result of changes in assets and liabilities of $0.7 million, primarily the result of the increase in prepaid expenses and other current assets and the decrease in accrued expenses and other current liabilities. For the three months ended March 31, 2019, net cash used in operating activities was $1.2 million, primarily the result of the net loss of $1.4 million, adjusted for certain non-cash items, as mentioned above, totaling $1.2 million, and the cash used as a result of changes in assets and liabilities of $1.0 million, primarily the result of the increase in accounts receivable and prepaid expenses and other current assets.
Cash flows used in investing activities. For the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, net cash used in investing activities was $1.6 million and $1.4 million, respectively, primarily as a result of capitalized costs included in intangible assets of $1.5 million and $1.4 million, respectively.
As of March 31, 2020, we had material commitments under certain data licensing agreements of $12.8 million. We anticipate funding our operations using available cash and cash flow generated from operations within the next twelve months.
We reported net loss of $1.5 million and $1.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. As of March 31, 2020, we had a total shareholders’ equity balance of $43.4 million.
As of March 31, 2020, we had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $11.5 million. Based on projections of growth in revenue and operating results in the next twelve months, the available cash and cash equivalents held by us, and an unsecured non-recourse loan in the principal amount of approximately $2.2 million under the CARES Act, we believe that we will have sufficient cash resources to finance our operations and expected capital expenditures for the next twelve months.
We further believe that our financial resources, including the CARES Act loan, will allow us to manage the impact of Covid-19 on the Company's business operations for the foreseeable future. However, subject to revenue growth, our ability to generate positive cash flow, and the potential impact of Covid-19, we may have to raise capital through the issuance of additional equity and/or debt, which, if we are able to obtain, could have the effect of diluting stockholders. Any equity or debt financings, if available at all, may be on terms which are not favorable to us.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of March 31, 2020, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements, as defined in Item 303(a)(4)(ii) of Regulation S-K.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
As a smaller reporting company as defined in Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act, we are not required to include information required by this item.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d–15(e) of the Exchange Act) as of March 31, 2020. We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange 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 our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Based on the evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act), the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2020.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with management's evaluation pursuant to Rules 13a-15(d) or 15d-15(d) of the Exchange Act during the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2020 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures and Internal Control over Financial Reporting
In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that management is required to apply judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
The Company is not currently a party to any legal proceeding, investigation or claim which, in the opinion of the management, is likely to have a material adverse effect on the business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. Legal fees associated with any legal proceedings, are expensed as incurred. We review legal proceedings and claims on an ongoing basis and follow appropriate accounting guidance, including ASC 450, when making accrual and disclosure decisions. We establish accruals for those contingencies where the incurrence of a loss is probable and can be reasonably estimated, and we disclose the amount accrued and the amount of a reasonably possible loss in excess of the amount accrued, if such disclosure is necessary for our financial statements to not be misleading. To estimate whether a loss contingency should be accrued by a charge to income, we evaluate, among other factors, the degree of probability of an unfavorable outcome and the ability to make a reasonable estimate of the amount of the loss. We do not record liabilities when the likelihood that the liability has been incurred is probable, but the amount cannot be reasonably estimated.
We may be involved in litigation from time to time in the ordinary course of business. We do not believe that the ultimate resolution of any such matters will have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. However, the results of such matters cannot be predicted with certainty and we cannot assure you that the ultimate resolution of any legal or administrative proceeding or dispute will not have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
Item 1A. Risk Factors.
There were no material changes during the first quarter of 2020 to the risk factors identified in the Company’s 2019 Form 10-K, except as noted below.
The current Covid-19 pandemic and the global attempt to contain it may adversely impact our business, our future results of operations and our overall financial performance.
The global spread of Covid-19 and the various attempts to contain it have created significant volatility, uncertainty and economic disruption. In response to government mandates and health care advisories, we have altered certain aspects of our operations. Our workforce has had to spend a significant amount of time working from home, which may impact productivity, and we have curtailed all company travel to ensure the safety of our employees, customers, vendors, and shareholders. To the extent the resulting economic disruption is severe, we could see some vendors and customers negatively impacted.
The full extent to which the Covid-19 pandemic and the various responses to it impacts our business, operations and financial results will depend on numerous evolving factors that we may not be able to accurately predict, including: the duration and scope of the pandemic; governmental, business and individuals’ actions that have been and continue to be taken in response to the pandemic; the availability and cost to access the capital markets; the effect on our customers and customer demand for and ability to pay for our services; and disruptions or restrictions on our employees’ ability to work and travel. In addition, any preventative or protective actions that governments implement or that we take in respect of Covid-19, such as travel restrictions or stay-at-home orders, may interfere with the ability of our employees and vendors to perform their respective responsibilities and obligations relative to the conduct of our business. Such results could have a material adverse effect on our operations, business, financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.
We are closely monitoring the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic, continually assessing its potential effects on our business. The extent to which our results are affected by Covid-19 will largely depend on future developments which cannot be accurately predicted and are uncertain, but the Covid-19 pandemic or the perception of its effects could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

Our CARES Act Loan may be subject to regulatory review resulting from unclear subjective and objective eligibility requirements for the loan.
On May 5, 2020, we received funding of $2,152,000 under the CARES Act Loan. The Loan application required us to certify, among other things, that the current economic uncertainty made the Loan request necessary to support our ongoing operations. While we made this certification in good faith after analyzing, among other things, our financial situation and access to alternative forms of capital, and believe that we satisfied all eligibility criteria for the Loan, the certification described above does not contain any objective criteria and is subject to interpretation. If, despite our good faith belief that we satisfied all eligibility requirements for the Loan, we are found to have been ineligible to receive the Loan or in violation of any of the laws or governmental regulations that apply to us in connection with the Loan, we may be subject to penalties, including significant civil, criminal and administrative penalties and could be required to repay the Loan. In the event that we seek forgiveness of all or a portion of the Loan, we will also be required to make certain certifications which will be subject to audit and review by governmental entities and could subject us to significant penalties and liabilities if found to be inaccurate. In addition, our receipt of the Loan may result in adverse publicity and damage to our reputation, and a review or audit by a government entity could consume significant financial and management resources. Any of these events could harm our business, results of operations and financial condition.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.
None.
Item 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities.
None.
Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures.
Not Applicable.
Item 5. Other Information.
On May 5, 2020, the Company received funding under a promissory note dated May 5, 2020 (the “Promissory Note”) evidencing an unsecured non-recourse loan in the principal amount of $2,152,000 under the CARES Act (the “Loan”). The Loan to the Company is being made through Legacy Bank of Florida (the “Lender”).
The Loan has a two-year term and matures on May 5, 2022. The interest rate on the Loan is 1.00% per annum. Payments shall be deferred for the first six months of the term of the Loan. The U.S. Small Business Administration has the right to extend the deferment period. The Promissory Note contains customary events of default relating to, among other things, payment defaults, and breach of representations and warranties, or other provisions of the Promissory Note.
The Loan may be forgiven partially or fully if the Loan proceeds are used for covered payroll costs, rent and utility costs incurred during the eight-week period that commenced on the date of funding, and at least 75% of the Loan proceeds are used for covered payroll costs. Any forgiveness of the Loan will be subject to approval by the U.S. Small Business Administration and the Lender. The Company will be required to apply for such forgiveness. Although the Company intends to use the proceeds of the Loan for such covered purposes, it can provide no assurance that the Company will obtain forgiveness of the Loan in whole or in part.
The foregoing description of the Promissory Note does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Promissory Note attached to this Form 10-Q as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
