NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
October 31, 2024
NOTE 1 — BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Streamline Health Solutions, Inc. and each of its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Streamline Health, LLC, Avelead Consulting, LLC, Streamline Consulting Solutions, LLC and Streamline Pay & Benefits, LLC, (collectively, unless the context requires otherwise, “we,” “us,” “our,” “Streamline,” or the “Company”), operate in one segment as a provider of healthcare information technology solutions and associated services. The Company provides these capabilities through the licensing of its Coding & Clinical Documentation Improvement (CDI) solutions, eValuator coding analysis platform, RevID, and other workflow software applications and the use of such applications by software as a service (“SaaS”). The Company also provides audit services to help clients optimize their internal clinical documentation and coding functions, as well as implementation and consulting services to complement its software solutions. The Company’s software and services enable hospitals and integrated healthcare delivery systems in the United States and Canada to capture, store, manage, route, retrieve and process patient clinical, financial and other healthcare provider information related to the patient revenue cycle.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by us pursuant to the rules and regulations applicable to quarterly reports on Form 10-Q of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Certain information and note disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations, although we believe that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information not misleading. The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Streamline Health Solutions, Inc. and each of its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. In the opinion of the Company’s management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the condensed consolidated financial statements have been included. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s most recent annual report on Form 10-K. Operating results for the three and nine months ended October 31, 2024, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending January 31, 2025.
The Company has
All amounts in the condensed consolidated financial statements, notes and tables have been rounded to the nearest thousand dollars, except share and per share amounts, unless otherwise indicated. All references to a fiscal year refer to the fiscal year commencing February 1 in that calendar year and ending on January 31 of the following calendar year.
Going Concern
The Company’s financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of obligations in the normal course of business. To date, the Company has not generated sufficient revenues to allow it to generate cash flow from operations and the Company anticipates the need for additional liquidity in the next twelve months. The Company has historically accumulated losses and used cash from its financing activities to supplement its operations. The Company’s current forecast projects the Company may not be able to maintain compliance with certain of its financial covenants under its current credit agreement with the term loan lender in the next twelve months. Further, our recent private placement notes payables have cross-default conditions with the senior term loan debt. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued.
In view of these matters, continuation as a going concern is dependent upon the Company’s ability to achieve cash from operations and raise additional debt or equity capital to fund its ongoing operations.
As of October 31, 2024, the Company had approximately $
The financial statements do not include any adjustments to the amount and classification of assets and liabilities that may be necessary should the Company not continue as a going concern.
Reverse Stock Split
On September 25, 2024, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation to effect a 1-for-
The Reverse Stock Split did not change the Company's authorized number of shares of common stock. The Reverse Stock Split did not change the par value of the common stock, therefore, the Company recorded an increase to additional paid in capital of $
NOTE 2 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Our significant accounting policies are presented in “Note 2 – Significant Accounting Policies” in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal year 2023. Users of financial information for interim periods are encouraged to refer to the notes to the consolidated financial statements contained in the Annual Report on Form 10-K when reviewing interim financial results.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its estimates and judgments, including those related to the recognition of revenue, share-based compensation, capitalization of software development costs, intangible assets, the allowance for credit losses, contingent consideration, and income taxes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) authoritative guidance on fair value measurements establishes a framework for measuring fair value. This guidance enables the reader of the financial statements to assess the inputs used to develop those measurements by establishing a hierarchy for ranking the quality and reliability of the information used to determine fair values. Under this guidance, assets and liabilities carried at fair value must be classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:
Level 1: Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2: Observable market-based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data.
Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data.
The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate fair value based on the short-term maturity of these instruments. Cash and cash equivalents are classified as Level 1. The acquisition earnout liability transferred out of Level 3 as of April 30, 2024.
The table below provides information on the fair value of our liabilities on a recurring basis:
| Quoted | Significant | |||||||||||||||
| Prices in | Other | Significant | ||||||||||||||

The remaining obligation related to the acquisition earnout liability is to be settled in cash (refer to Note 3 – Business Combinations for more information). At that time, the acquisition earnout liability no longer qualified as a Level 3 fair value calculation and was transferred out. As of that date, the Company recorded a valuation adjustment of $ | |
The table below provides the Level 3 roll-forward on the fair value of our acquisition earnout liability for the nine months ended October 31, 2024. There was no Level 3 roll-forward activity for the three months ended October 31, 2024.

The fair value of the Company’s term loan under its Second Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement (as amended and modified, the “Second Amended and Restated Loan Agreement”) was determined through an analysis of the interest rate spread from the date of closing the loan ( August 2021) to the date of the most recent balance sheets, October 31, 2024 and January 31, 2024. The term loan bears interest at a per annum rate equal to the Prime Rate (as published in The Wall Street Journal) plus
The estimated fair value of the Company’s notes payable under its private placement notes payables was determined through an analysis of the interest rate spread from the date of closing of the private placement ( February 7, 2024) to the date of the most recent balance sheet, October 31, 2024. The Company estimated the yield of a 30-month treasury by interpolating the yields of the 1-month through 10-year treasury yields on February 7, 2024 (the “Issuance Date”) and the measurement date. A High Yield Index Option Adjusted Spread, as published by the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis, for the same dates was added to the treasury yield spread to calculate a High-Yield Spread Adjusted 30-Month Rate. This provided an estimated change to the effective interest rate spread of approximately

Revenue Recognition
We derive revenue from the sale of internally-developed software, either by licensing for local installation or by a SaaS delivery model, through the Company’s direct sales force or through third-party resellers. Licensed, locally-installed software customers on a perpetual model utilize the Company’s support and maintenance services for a separate fee, whereas term-based locally installed license fees and SaaS fees include support and maintenance. We also derive revenue from professional services that support the implementation, configuration, training and optimization of the applications, as well as audit services and consulting services.
We recognize revenue in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, under the core principle of recognizing revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Certain contracts may include aspects of variable consideration as it relates to performance guarantees and service level agreements. Significant judgment is required to determine the standalone selling price (“SSP”) for each performance obligation, impact of variable consideration on total contract price, the amount allocated to each performance obligation and whether it depicts the amount that the Company expects to receive in exchange for the related product and/or service.
Disaggregation of Revenue
The following table provides information about disaggregated revenue by type and nature of revenue stream:
| Three Months Ended | Nine Months Ended | |||||||||||||||
| October 31, 2024 | October 31, 2023 | October 31, 2024 | October 31, 2023 | |||||||||||||
| Over time revenue | $ | $ | $ | $ | ||||||||||||
| Point in time revenue | ||||||||||||||||
| Total revenue | $ | $ | $ | $ | ||||||||||||
The Company includes revenue categories of (i) SaaS, (ii) maintenance and support, (iii) professional services, and (iv) audit services as over time revenue. For point in time revenue, the performance obligation is recognized as the point in time when the obligation is fully satisfied. The Company includes software licenses as point in time revenue.
Contract Receivables and Deferred Revenues
The Company receives payments from customers based upon contractual billing schedules. Contract receivables include amounts related to the Company’s contractual right to consideration for completed performance obligations not yet invoiced. Deferred revenue includes payments received in advance of performance under the contract. The Company’s contract receivables and deferred revenue are reported on an individual contract basis at the end of each reporting period. Contract receivables are classified as current or noncurrent based on the timing of when we expect to bill the customer. Deferred revenue is classified as current or noncurrent based on the timing of when we expect to recognize revenue. During the three and nine months ended October 31, 2024, the Company recognized approximately $
Deferred costs (costs to fulfill a contract and contract acquisition costs)
The Company defers the direct costs, which include salaries and benefits, for professional services related to SaaS contracts as a cost to fulfill a contract. These deferred costs will be amortized on a straight-line basis over the period of expected benefit which is the contractual term. As of October 31, 2024 and January 31, 2024, the Company had deferred costs of $
Contract acquisition costs, which consist of sales commissions paid or payable, are considered incremental and recoverable costs of obtaining a contract with a customer. Sales commissions for initial and renewal contracts are deferred and then amortized on a straight-line basis over the contract term. As a practical expedient, the Company expenses sales commissions as incurred when the amortization period of related deferred commission costs is expected to be one year or less.
As of October 31, 2024 and January 31, 2024, deferred commission costs paid and payable, which are included on the consolidated balance sheets within other non-current assets totaled $
Allowance for Credit Losses
The Company estimates current expected credit losses based on historical credit loss rates and applied an increase to account for future economic conditions. The changes in the Company’s allowance for credit losses is as follows:

| Allowance for credit losses | $ | $ | ( | ) | $ | $ | $ | |||||||||||||
Equity Awards
The Company accounts for share-based payments based on the grant-date fair value of the awards with compensation cost recognized as expense over the requisite service period, and forfeitures are recognized as incurred. For awards to non-employees, the Company recognizes compensation expense in the same manner as if the entity had paid cash for the goods or services. The Company incurred total compensation expense related to share-based awards for the three and nine months ended October 31, 2024, of $
The fair value of stock options granted are estimated at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option pricing model. Option pricing model input assumptions such as expected term, expected volatility and risk-free interest rate impact the fair value estimate. These assumptions are subjective and are generally derived from external (such as, risk-free rate of interest) and historical data (such as, volatility factor and expected term). Future grants of equity awards accounted for as share-based compensation could have a material impact on reported expenses depending upon the number, value and vesting period of future awards.
The Company issues restricted stock awards in the form of Company common stock. The fair value of these awards is based on the market closing price per share on the grant date. For the three and nine months ended October 31, 2024, the Company issued
Market-Based Awards
For awards with a market condition, the Company adjusts the grant date fair value for the condition. The Company used separate Monte Carlo valuation models, as of the grant date, to determine the expected length and fair value of this particular award. Both models used the Company's historical equity volatility, current stock price, and hurdle target price for vesting. The service period model also included an assumption for the Company's 10-year normalized risk-free rate. The associated compensation expense is recognized provided the service condition is provided regardless of whether the market condition is satisfied.
On July 18, 2024, the Company, as a component of the Board awards discussed above, executed a Restricted Stock Agreement (the “Restricted Stock Agreement”) to issue
On September 4, 2024, the Restricted Stock Agreement was amended to rescind
Warrants
The Company reviews the specific terms for its warrants and applies the authoritative FASB guidance under ASC topics 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (“ASC 480”) and ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”) to account for the warrants as either equity-classified or liability-classified instruments. This review identifies if the warrants are freestanding financial instruments under ASC 480, should be defined as a liability under ASC 480, and whether the warrants meet all requirements of ASC 815 to be classified as equity, including whether the warrants are indexed to the Company’s own common stock, if there are conditions where warrant holders could potentially require “net cash settlement” in a circumstance that would be outside of the Company’s control, among other conditions for equity classification. This assessment requires the use of professional judgment and is conducted at the time of warrant issuance plus as of each subsequent quarterly period end date while the warrants are outstanding.
For the issued or modified warrants that qualify for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded as a component of additional paid-in capital at the time of issuance. For issued or modified warrants that do not meet all the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded at their initial fair value on the date of issuance, and each balance sheet date thereafter. Changes in the estimated fair value of the warrants are recognized as a non-cash gain or loss on the condensed consolidated Statements of Operations as "valuation adjustments." The fair value of the warrants is estimated using a Black-Scholes pricing model.
Income Taxes
Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and for tax credit and loss carry-forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. In assessing net deferred tax assets, the Company considers whether it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The Company establishes a valuation allowance when it is more likely than not that all or a portion of deferred tax assets will not be realized. Refer to Note 6 – Income Taxes for further details.
The Company provides for uncertain tax positions and the related interest and penalties based upon management’s assessment of whether certain tax positions are more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by tax authorities. The Company believes it has appropriately accounted for any uncertain tax positions as of October 31, 2024.
Net Loss Per Common Share
The Company presents basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) data for the Company’s common stock.
The Company’s warrants, unvested restricted stock awards, and options are considered non-participating securities because holders are not entitled to non-forfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents during the vesting term or while unexercised. Diluted EPS for the Company’s common stock is computed using the treasury stock method.

We determine whether an arrangement is a lease at inception. Right-of-use assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease right-of-use assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the expected lease term. Since our lease arrangements do not provide an implicit rate, we use our incremental borrowing rate for the expected remaining lease term at commencement date for new and existing leases in determining the present value of future lease payments. Operating lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

On November 13, 2024, the Company executed the Fifth Modification to Second Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement (the “Fifth Modification”) that amended, among other things, the Minimum Adjusted EBITDA and Maximum ARR Net Leverage Ratio covenants. Refer to Note 11 – Subsequent Events for additional information regarding the Fifth Modification.
The Second Amended and Restated Loan Agreement also includes customary negative covenants, subject to exceptions, which limit transfers, capital expenditures, indebtedness, certain liens, investments, acquisitions, dispositions of assets, restricted payments, and the business activities of the Company, as well as customary representations and warranties, affirmative covenants and events of default, including a cross default provision with the Second Amended and Restated Loan Agreement and a change of control default provision. The line of credit also is subject to customary prepayment requirements. Substantially all the assets of the Company are collateralized by the Second Amended and Restated Loan Agreement. For the period ended October 31, 2024, the Company was not in compliance with certain covenants under the Second Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement. Subsequent to the period ended October 31, 2024, the Company entered into the Fifth Modification, whereby certain covenants were modified. As a result, the Company was in compliance with all modified debt covenants. However, the Company’s current forecast projects the Company may not be able to maintain compliance with certain of its financial covenants under the Second Amended and Restated Loan Agreement in the future. Refer to Note 1 – Basis of Presentation for detail regarding the Company’s assessment as a going concern.

Accordingly, the Notes, the Warrants and the common stock underlying the Warrants may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration with the SEC or an applicable exemption from such registration requirements and in accordance with applicable state securities laws. The securities were offered and sold to “accredited investors” as that term is defined in Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act.
The Warrants contain a registration rights provision for the Company to provide the Warrant holder with registered common stock upon their exercise of a Warrant. If the Company is not able to deliver registered common stock for exercised Warrants that results in the Warrant holder acquiring registered common stock, then the Warrant holder has the discretion to request the Company remit cash compensation up to the corresponding purchase price. Accordingly, the Company determined the feature required liability accounting treatment upon issuance.

NOTE 10 - GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS
Goodwill represents the excess cost over fair value of the net assets of acquired businesses and is not amortized. The Company performs an impairment assessment of goodwill annually during the fourth quarter of its fiscal year with a valuation date of November 1, or more frequently if a triggering event occurs.
The Company’s intangible assets consist of client relationships, acquired and developed technology, and trade names. These assets are recorded at cost, less accumulated amortization and impairment, if any. All the Company’s intangible assets are definite lived and amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. Subsequent testing of intangible assets is conducted when a triggering event occurs that would indicate impairment may exist.
During the quarter ended October 31, 2024, the Company's market capitalization fell below the Company's carrying value of equity for a prolonged period of time (the “2024 Triggering Event”). Based on the 2024 Triggering Event, the Company identified indicators of possible impairment and initiated testing using a valuation date of October 31, 2024. The impairment tests were conducted under guidance of ASC Topic 360, Impairment and Disposal of Long-Lived Assets (“ASC 360”) for certain long-lived assets, including capitalized contract costs, developed technology, client relationships and trade names, and in accordance with ASC Topic 350, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (“ASC 350”) with respect to the reporting unit’s goodwill.
In October 2023, the Company was notified by a legacy client of its intent to not renew its contract as of its end date on December 31, 2023. The Company also announced the acceleration of its Strategic Restructuring that was designed to reduce costs while maintaining the Company’s ability to expand its SaaS business. Both the client termination and the execution of the Strategic Restructuring were announced on October 16, 2023. Following these announcements, the Company’s share price declined significantly (collectively, the “2023 Triggering Events”). Based on the 2023 Triggering Events, the Company identified indicators of possible impairment and initiated testing using a valuation date of October 31, 2023. The impairment tests were conducted under guidance of ASC 360 for certain long-lived assets, including capitalized contract costs, developed technology, client relationships and trade names, and in accordance with ASC 350.
Goodwill
The Company has
The MCM calculates the aggregate market value of the Company based on the total number of shares outstanding and the current market price of the shares as of the valuation date. Data on similar mergers and acquisitions within healthcare technology are observed to determine control premium that represents a stock premium percentage offered by an acquirer to a public company. The control premium applied to the aggregate market value represents MCM calculated fair value.
The DCF incorporates the use of projected financial information and a discount rate using a weighted average cost of capital with cost of equity estimated based on the capital asset pricing model. The cash-flow projections are based on financial forecasts developed by management that include forecasts of future operating results based on internal budgets and strategic plans to invest in working capital to support anticipated revenue growth. External factors and business conditions are considered by management when setting the long-term growth rates. The selected discount rate considers the risk and nature of the reporting unit’s cash flows and the rates of return market participants would require to invest their capital in the Company.
Based on the impairment test following the 2024 Triggering Event, the Company concluded that its goodwill was not impaired as of October 31, 2024. Based on the impairment test following the 2023 Triggering Events, the Company concluded that its goodwill was impaired as of October 31, 2023, based on the weighted combination of the DCF and MCM value estimates which resulted in a calculated fair value lower than the equity carrying value. The Company recorded an impairment of goodwill in the amount of $
The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill were as follows for the nine-month period ended October 31, 2023:
| Nine Months Ended | ||||

Intangible Assets
ASC 360 defines a multi-step process to test long-lived assets, including intangible assets, for recoverability that if failed would indicate impairment. First, the Company must consider whether indicators of impairment of long-lived assets are present, which the Company determined the 2023 Triggering Events in conjunction with preparation of its financial statements for the three and nine months ended October 31, 2023, provided such indication.
Next, the Company must review the long-lived assets to define asset group(s) that would reflect the lowest level of assets to which discrete cash flows are identifiable. In performing this review, the Company identified that the long-lived asset “client relationships” related to Avelead should be classified as abandoned (the “Abandoned Asset”) with the Company determining that it no longer has plans to provide the corresponding consulting service. The Abandoned Asset’s carrying value would need to be set to its salvage value which would be zero given no future cash flows.
The Company determined the lowest level of discrete cash flows is at the reporting unit level, and all remaining long-lived assets (excluding the Abandoned Asset) and goodwill would represent its only asset group. Recoverability is assessed by comparing that the sum of the discrete undiscounted cash flows exceeds the carrying value of the asset group. The undiscounted cash flow projections are based on the primary asset in the asset group that include forecasts of future operating results based on internal budgets and strategic plans to investment in working capital to support anticipated revenue growth.
The undiscounted cash flows for the long-lived assets were above the carrying amounts indicating that the long-lived asset group is recoverable and no further impairment to long-lived assets exists as of October 31, 2023. For the three-month period ended October 31, 2023, the Company recorded $

We expressly disclaim any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.
Overview
On October 16, 2023, the Company announced it was executing a Strategic Restructuring designed to reduce expenses while maintaining the Company’s ability to expand its SaaS business. The Strategic Restructuring initiatives included a reduction in force, resulting in the termination of 26 employees, or approximately 24% of the Company’s workforce. To execute the Strategic Restructuring, the Company recorded $749,000 of expenses in the three months ending October 31, 2023, which consisted of approximately $731,000 in severance and other employee termination-related expenses and approximately $18,000 in incurred legal fees. As of October 31, 2024, the Company has recorded all expenses related to the Strategic Restructuring.
Recent Developments
Reverse Stock Split
On September 25, 2024, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation to effect a 1-for-15 reverse stock split pursuant to which each 15 shares of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock immediately prior to the effective time, which was 12:01 am Eastern Daylight Time on October 4, 2024, were combined into one share of the Company’s common stock, without effecting a change to the par value per share of Common Stock (the “Reverse Stock Split”). The Company’s common stock began trading on a split-adjusted basis when the market opened on October 4, 2024.
The Reverse Stock Split did not change the Company's authorized number of shares of common stock. No fractional shares were issued in connection with the Reverse Stock Split, and stockholders who would otherwise have been entitled to receive a fractional share instead received a cash payment equal to the fraction of a share of common stock in lieu of such fractional share. Proportionate adjustments were made to the number of shares authorized under the Company’s equity incentive plans, the number of shares subject to any award or purchase right under the Company’s equity incentive plans, and the exercise price or purchase price with respect to any stock option award or purchase right under the Company’s equity incentive plans. All shares of the Company’s common stock, stock-based instruments and per-share data included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q have been retrospectively adjusted as though the Reverse Stock Split had been effected prior to all periods presented.
Loan Modification
On November 13, 2024, the Company executed the Fifth Modification to Second Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement. Refer to Item 1 – Subsequent Events for additional information regarding the Fifth Modification.

Software as a Service (SaaS) — Revenue from SaaS for the three and nine months ended October 31, 2024 decreased by $991,000 and $1,896,000, respectively, compared to the prior year periods. A previously announced client non-renewal contributed to a decrease of $1,156,000 and $3,053,000 for the three and nine months ended October 31, 2024, respectively. New clients on the Company’s eValuator and RevID products provided an offset to the negative impact of the client non-renewal. The Company expects relatively flat quarterly revenue through the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024 as the Company delivers on executed agreements to replenish the lost revenue related to the non-renewal of the client contract.
The Company had approximately $2.1 million of annualized contract value of SaaS contracts to be implemented as of October 31, 2024. The industry continues to be impacted by hospital personnel shortages and a backlog of hospital IT projects. The Company is seeing improvements in the contract-to-implementation timelines compared to the prior year. Despite this positive trend, the Company remains uncertain how long the broader industry challenges will continue to affect our implementation schedules.
Maintenance and support — For the three and nine months ended October 31, 2024, revenue from maintenance and support decreased by $192,000 and $676,000, respectively, compared to the prior year periods. As the Company continues to prioritize SaaS products, we anticipate maintenance and support revenue will continue to decline for the remainder of fiscal 2024 compared to fiscal 2023 due to expected contract non-renewals and limited new sales.
Professional fees and licenses — Revenues from professional fees and licenses include proprietary software, term license, professional services and audit and coding services revenue. Total professional fees and license revenues for the three and nine months ended October 31, 2024, decreased by $531,000 and $1,437,000, respectively, compared to the prior year periods. The Company has primarily shifted the business from perpetual software licenses to a SaaS model. Software license sales come solely from our channel partners; therefore, the periodic amounts are less predictable and consistent than recurring revenues.
For the three and nine months ended October 31, 2024, revenue from professional services decreased by $347,000 and $935,000, respectively, compared to the prior year periods. Professional services for a subset of the Company's solutions, are recognized as the services are performed. The Company expects professional services revenue to fluctuate based on the timing and combination of products currently being implemented. For the nine month period ending October 31, 2024, the Company saw an increase in license revenue of $61,000 compared to the same period in the prior year. The Company is primarily focused on growth of its SaaS products, and, accordingly, is not expecting growth in license revenue for the remainder of fiscal 2024.
For the three and nine months ended October 31, 2024, revenue from audit services decreased by $184,000 and $563,000, respectively, compared to the prior year periods. The decrease was driven primarily by three clients no longer requiring the Company's assistance with audit services. Increased demand for audit services from existing and new eValuator clients resulted in an increase of audit services revenue of $246,000 for the nine-month period ending October 31, 2024, compared to the prior year period. The Company believes demand for its onshore, technically proficient coders and auditors in the marketplace is strong and that it has a competitive edge in providing audit and coding services as an offering with the eValuator solution as a technology-enabled service. To support the shifting demand among clients, the Company anticipates the audit and coding services to remain relatively flat throughout the remainder of fiscal 2024.

Cost of software as a service (SaaS) – The cost of SaaS consists of expenses associated with (i) amortization of capitalized software, (ii) royalties payable to third-parties for use of their coding related content, and (iii) personnel and network infrastructure required to deploy and support applications for each client. For the three and nine months ended October 31, 2024, the cost of SaaS solutions decreased $165,000 and $803,000, compared to the prior year periods. The decrease is driven by lower infrastructure costs and lower contract and personnel costs. The amortization of capitalized software remained relatively unchanged. Certain expenses included in our cost of SaaS are tied to volumes. These expenses include coding tools supporting eValuator and a third-party system that translates data from the hospital system to the Company’s systems. The Company expects these costs of SaaS solutions to increase as revenue increases.
For the three and nine months ended October 31, 2024, the cost of SaaS solutions includes non-cash charges of $625,000 and $1,726,000, respectively, related to the amortization of capitalized software. The Company expects margins related to SaaS solutions to increase in the future from clients currently in the process of implementation. Certain costs included in cost of SaaS, such as labor and third-party content providers, negatively impact gross margin before a client is fully implemented and revenue is recognized.
Cost of maintenance and support – The cost of maintenance and support includes compensation and benefits for client support personnel required to provide product support for clients on our CDI and Abstracting software licenses. For the three and nine months ended October 31, 2024, the cost of maintenance and support decreased by $87,000 and $123,000, respectively, compared to the prior year periods.
Cost of professional fees and licenses – The cost of professional fees and licenses includes the cost of software licenses, the cost of professional services and the cost of audit and coding services. The aggregate cost of professional fees and licenses decreased by $241,000 and $644,000, respectively, for the three and nine months ended October 31, 2024, compared to the prior year periods.
The cost of professional fees includes compensation and benefits for personnel and related expenses. For the three and nine months ended October 31, 2024, professional services costs decreased by approximately $52,000 and $115,000, respectively, compared to the prior year periods. This decrease was driven by a reduction in staff resulting in lower personnel and third-party contractor costs. The costs of professional fees are expected to remain relatively flat throughout the remainder of fiscal year 2024.
The cost of audit services includes compensation and benefits for internal audit services personnel, and related expenses. The costs for the three and nine months ended October 31, 2024, decreased by approximately $203,000 and $568,000, respectively, compared to the prior year periods. The reduction of personnel and related expenses is a response to matching the shifting demand for the Company's audit services.
The cost of software licenses for the three and nine months ended October 31, 2024, increased by $14,000 and $39,000, respectively, compared to the prior year periods due to the amortization of development costs related to the Company’s coding/CDI product. The Company expects the remaining capitalized Coding and CDI software license costs to be fully amortized by the end of fiscal 2024.

General and administrative expenses comprise various costs including compensation and associated benefits, reimbursable travel and entertainment expenses related to our executive and administrative staff, general corporate expenditures, amortization of intangible assets, and occupancy costs. For the three and nine months ended October 31, 2024, the general and administrative expenses decreased by $711,000 and $2,128,000, respectively, compared to the prior year periods. The decrease was driven primarily by lower compensation and related benefits, severance and contractor expense of approximately $687,000 and $1,713,000 for the three and nine months ended October 31, 2024, respectively. The Company saw an increase in director fees and audit financial fees for the nine months ended October 31, 2024, compared to the prior year period.
Sales and marketing expenses primarily encompass compensation, associated benefits, travel and entertainment costs for our sales and marketing personnel. Additionally, sales and marketing expenses include costs from third parties related to advertising, marketing and trade show attendance. For the three and nine months ended October 31, 2024, sales and marketing expenses decreased by $531,000 and $891,000, respectively, compared to the prior year periods. This decrease is primarily related to the Strategic Restructuring and is net of any severance expense incurred in the period.

Based on the 2023 Triggering Events and in conjunction with its preparation of its financial statements for the three and nine months ended October 31, 2023, the Company tested the reporting unit’s goodwill for possible impairment as of October 31, 2023. Refer to the Goodwill section of Note 10 — Goodwill and Intangible Assets of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item I, “Financial Statements” for more information on the goodwill impairment testing.
The Company concluded that goodwill was impaired based on the weighted combination of the DCF and MCM value estimates which resulted in a calculated fair value lower than its carrying value. The Company recorded an impairment of goodwill in the amount of $9,813,000 for the three and nine-month periods ended October 31, 2023, with no goodwill impairments reported in the three and nine-month periods ended October 31, 2024.

Based on the 2023 Triggering Events and in conjunction with its preparation of its financial statements for the three and nine months ended October 31, 2023, the Company tested long-lived assets, including intangible assets, for recoverability that, if failed, would indicate impairment. The Company, in reviewing long-lived assets to define asset group(s), identified an abandoned asset. A separate long-lived asset for “client relationships” related to Avelead was no longer going to be used following the Company’s determination that these services were not part of its core offerings going forward. The Company adjusted the abandoned asset’s carrying value to its salvage value which would be zero given no future cash flows.
Refer to the Intangible Assets section of Note 10 — Goodwill and Intangible Assets of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item I, “Financial Statements” for more information on the long-lived asset impairment testing.
For the three and nine-month periods ended October 31, 2023, the Company recorded $963,000 representing the impairment of the Abandoned Asset with no other long-lived impairments reported in the three and nine-month periods ended October 31, 2024.

Interest expense consists of interest associated with the term loan, notes payable, and their respective deferred financing costs, less interest related to capitalization of software. For the three and nine months ended October 31, 2024, interest expense increased by $230,000 and $676,000, respectively. The increase was primarily attributable to interest accrued on the $4,400,000 of notes payable (Refer to Note 5 – Debt).
Valuation adjustments (Refer to Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies) are related to the liabilities associated with the Avelead acquisition and the common stock underlying the Warrants. For the nine months ended October 31, 2024, the Company recorded a valuation gain of $44,000, for the Warrants. The valuation adjustments for the nine months ended October 31, 2024, are attributable to the decrease in the value of the stock to be transferred to the holders and the corresponding effect on the Black Scholes pricing model for purposes of valuing the Warrants. There were no Warrant valuation adjustments in the three and nine months ended October 31, 2023 and, 2024, respectively. For the nine months ended October 31, 2024, the Company recorded a valuation loss of $159,000 related to the Avelead earnout liability, with no adjustment recorded in the three months ended October 31, 2024. For the three and nine months ended October 31, 2023, the Company recorded valuation gains of $1,182,000 and 1,905,000, respectively, related to the Avelead earnout liability.
There was no miscellaneous income for the three and nine months ended October 31, 2024. Miscellaneous income for the nine months ended October 31, 2023, is primarily from the sublease of the Alpharetta location (Refer to Note 4 – Operating Leases of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item I, “Financial Statements”).
Provision for Income Taxes
We recorded an income tax expense of $0 and income tax benefit of $59,000 for the nine months ended October 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, which is comprised of estimated federal, state and local income tax provisions. The Company has a substantial amount of net operating losses for federal and state income tax purposes. The effective income tax rate on continuing operations of approximately 0% differs from our combined federal and state statutory rate of 24% primarily due to the full valuation allowance the Company currently maintains on its net deferred tax asset.
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In order to provide investors with greater insight and allow for a more comprehensive understanding of the information used by management and the Board in its financial and operational decision-making, the Company has supplemented the condensed consolidated financial statements presented on a GAAP basis in this Report with the following non-GAAP financial measures: EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin.
These non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of Company results as reported under GAAP. The Company compensates for such limitations by relying primarily on our GAAP results and using non-GAAP financial measures only as supplemental data. We also provide a reconciliation of non-GAAP to GAAP measures used. Investors are encouraged to carefully review this reconciliation. In addition, because these non-GAAP measures are not measures of financial performance under GAAP and are susceptible to varying calculations, these measures, as defined by us, may differ from and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.
EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA Margin
We define: (i) EBITDA as net earnings (loss) before net interest expense, income tax expense (benefit), depreciation and amortization; (ii) Adjusted EBITDA as net earnings (loss) before net interest expense, income tax expense (benefit), depreciation, amortization, share-based compensation expense, valuation adjustments, restructuring charges, transaction related expenses and other expenses that do not relate to our core operations such as severances and impairment charges; and (iii) Adjusted EBITDA Margin as Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of GAAP net revenue. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin are used to facilitate a comparison of our operating performance on a consistent basis from period to period and provide for a supplemental understanding of factors and trends affecting our business than GAAP measures alone. These measures assist management and the Board, and may be useful to investors in comparing our operating performance consistently over time as they remove the impact of our capital structure (primarily interest charges), asset base (primarily depreciation and amortization), items outside the control of the management team (taxes) and expenses that do not relate to our core operations including: transaction-related expenses (such as professional and advisory services), corporate restructuring expenses (such as severances) and other operating costs that are expected to be non-recurring. Adjusted EBITDA removes the impact of share-based compensation expense, which is another non-cash item.
The Board and management also use these measures (i) as one of the primary methods for planning and forecasting overall expectations and for evaluating, on at least a quarterly and annual basis, actual results against such expectations; and (ii) as a performance evaluation metric in determining achievement of certain executive and associate incentive compensation programs.
Our lender uses a measurement that is similar to the Adjusted EBITDA measurement described herein to assess our operating performance. The lender under our Second Amended and Restated Loan Agreement requires delivery of compliance reports certifying compliance with financial covenants, certain of which are based on a measurement that is similar to the Adjusted EBITDA measurement reviewed by our management and Board.
EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA Margin are not measures of liquidity under GAAP or otherwise and are not alternatives to cash flow from continuing operating activities, despite the supplemental information provided by these measures regarding the use and analysis of these measures as mentioned above. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA Margin, as disclosed in this Report have limitations as analytical tools, and you should not consider these measures in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP; nor are these measures intended to be measures of liquidity or free cash flow for our discretionary use. Some of the limitations of EBITDA and its variations are:
| ● |
EBITDA does not reflect our cash expenditures or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments; |
|
|
|
||
| ● |
EBITDA does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs; |
|
|
|
||
| ● |
EBITDA does not reflect the interest expense, or the cash requirements to service interest or principal payments under our Second Amended and Restated Loan Agreement; |
|
|
|
||
| ● |
EBITDA does not reflect income tax payments that we may be required to make; and |
|
|
|
||
| ● |
Although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized often will have to be replaced in the future, and EBITDA does not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements. |
Adjusted EBITDA has all the inherent limitations of EBITDA. To properly and prudently evaluate our business, the Company encourages readers to review the GAAP financial statements included elsewhere in this Report, and not rely on any single financial measure to evaluate our business. We also strongly urge readers to review the reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most comparable GAAP measure in this section, along with the condensed consolidated financial statements included above.
The following table reconciles EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to net loss for the three and nine months ended October 31, 2024 and 2023 (amounts in thousands). All of the items included in the reconciliation from EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to net loss are either recurring non-cash items, or items that management does not consider in assessing our on-going operating performance. In the case of the non-cash items, management believes that investors may find it useful to assess the Company’s comparative operating performance because the measures without such items are less susceptible to variances in actual performance resulting from depreciation, amortization and other expenses that do not relate to our core operations and are more reflective of other factors that affect operating performance. In the case of items that do not relate to our core operations, management believes that investors may find it useful to assess our operating performance if the measures are presented without these items because their financial impact does not reflect ongoing operating performance.

Application of Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Management considers an accounting policy to be critical if the accounting policy requires management to make particularly difficult, subjective, or complex judgments about matters that are inherently uncertain. A summary of our critical accounting policies is included in Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2024. There have been no material changes to the critical accounting policies disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2024.
Goodwill and Intangible Assets
The Company completed its annual goodwill assessment for fiscal year 2024 and 2023 as of October 31, 2024, and October 31, 2023, respectively. The Company used a weighted sum of income and market approaches to determine the fair value of the Company’s goodwill. Under the income approach, the fair value was based on the present value of the estimated debt-free, discounted cash flows that the reporting unit is expected to generate. Cash flow projections were based on management’s estimates of revenue growth rates and operating margins, taking into consideration industry and market conditions. The discount rate was based on the weighted average cost of capital appropriate for the Company.
During the quarter ended October 31, 2024, the Company's market capitalization fell below the Company's carrying value of equity for a prolonged period of time. Based on the 2024 Triggering Event, the Company identified indicators of possible impairment and initiated testing using a valuation date of October 31, 2024. The impairment test was conducted under guidance of ASC 360 for certain long-lived assets, including capitalized contract costs, developed technology, client relationships and trade names, and in accordance with ASC 350 with respect to the reporting unit’s goodwill. The results of the impairment test showed the fair value of the reporting unit was approximately 20% higher than the equity carrying value, resulting in no goodwill impairment.
In the third quarter of fiscal 2023, the Company received notice from a significant SaaS client of its intent not to renew its contract following the expiration of the then-current term on December 31, 2023. The Company also announced the acceleration of the Strategic Restructuring to reduce costs while maintaining the Company’s ability to expand its SaaS business. Following these announcements, the Company's share price declined significantly. Based on the 2023 Triggering Events, the Company identified indicators of possible impairment and initiated testing using a valuation date of October 31, 2023. The impairment test was conducted under guidance of ASC 360 for certain long-lived assets, including capitalized contract costs, developed technology, client relationships and trade names, and in accordance with ASC 350. The results of the impairment test showed the fair value of the reporting unit was lower than the carrying value, resulting in a $9.8 million goodwill impairment charge. As of January 31, 2024, no further impairment was required for goodwill. The remaining goodwill balance of the Company after recording the goodwill impairment charge is $13.3 million.
During the third quarter of fiscal 2023, the Company also assessed whether the carrying amounts of the Company’s long-lived assets may not be recoverable and, therefore, impaired. The Company's assessment resulted in an impairment charge of $1.0 million, primarily attributable to client relationships related to a subset of consulting related services the Company expects will not be a core part of its business going forward. The impairment charge was calculated using the asset’s salvage value as it was considered no longer held for use.
The fair value of the Company's reporting unit and intangible assets is subjective in nature and involves the use of significant estimates and assumptions, particularly related to future operating results and cash flows. These estimates and assumptions include, but are not limited to, revenue growth rates and operating margins used to calculate projected future cash flows, risk-adjusted discount rates, and future economic and market conditions. If the Company does not achieve its forecasts or the Company’s share price declines further, it is possible the goodwill of the Company could be deemed to be impaired in a future period.
The risks and potential impacts on the fair value of the Company's goodwill and long-lived assets are included in the risk factor disclosures referenced under “Item 1A. Risk Factors”.
Liquidity, Capital Resources and Going Concern
The Company’s liquidity is dependent upon numerous factors including: (i) the timing and amount of revenue and collection of contractual amounts from customers, (ii) amounts invested in research and development and capital expenditures, and (iii) the level of operating expenses, all of which can vary significantly from quarter to quarter. The Company’s primary cash requirements include regular payment of payroll and other business expenses, principal and interest payments on debt and capital expenditures, which generally include computer hardware. Operations are funded with cash generated by operations and borrowings under credit facilities. Information concerning the Company’s assessment as a going concern is included in Note 1 – Basis of Presentation in our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item I, “Financial Statements.” Cash and cash equivalent balances at October 31, 2024 and January 31, 2024, were approximately $754,000 and $3,190,000, respectively.
The Company has liquidity through its Second Amended and Restated Loan Agreement (as amended and modified, the "Second Amended and Restated Loan Agreement") described in more detail in Note 5 – Debt in our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item I, “Financial Statements." Under the Second Amended and Restated Loan Agreement, the Company has a term loan facility with an initial, maximum, principal amount of $10,000,000. Amounts outstanding under the Second Amended and Restated Loan Agreement bear interest at a per annum rate equal to the Prime Rate (as published in The Wall Street Journal) plus 1.5%, with a Prime “floor” rate of 3.25%. The Company executed a Second Modification to Second Amended and Restated Loan Agreement (the “Second Modification”) on November 29, 2022, which amended the covenants under the Second Amended and Restated Loan Agreement expanded the Company’s total borrowing to include a $2,000,000 non-formula revolving line of credit. The revolving line of credit will be co-terminus with the term loan and matures on August 26, 2026. The Company executed the Third Modification and Fourth Modification on February 7, 2024 and April 5, 2024, respectively (collectively, the “Third and Fourth Modifications”). The Third Modification and Fourth Modification reestablished certain customary financial covenants for the Second Amended and Restated Loan Agreement. Refer to Note 5 – Debt for information regarding the Second Amended and Restated Loan Agreement, Second Modification, Third Modification and Fourth Modification.
The Second Amended and Restated Loan Agreement includes customary financial covenants, including the requirements that the Company achieve certain EBITDA levels and ratios, ARR net leverage ratios, and fixed charge coverage ratios. The Second Amended and Restated Loan Agreement also includes customary negative covenants, subject to exceptions, which limit transfers, capital expenditures, indebtedness, certain liens, investments, acquisitions, dispositions of assets, restricted payments, and the business activities of the Company, as well as customary representations and warranties, affirmative covenants and events of default, including a cross default provision with the Second Amended and Restated Loan Agreement and a change of control default provision. For the period ended October 31, 2024, the Company was not in compliance with the covenants under the Second Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement. Subsequent to the period ended October 31, 2024, the Company entered into the Fifth Modification whereby certain covenants were modified. As a result, the Company was in compliance with all modified debt covenants. However, the Company's current forecast projects the Company may not be able to maintain compliance with certain of its financial covenants under the Second Amended and Restated Loan Agreement in the future. We have been dependent on sales of our equity securities and debt financing to meet our ongoing cash requirements. There can be no assurances that we would be able to obtain debt or equity financing when needed, on terms acceptable to the Company, or at all, and our failure to raise additional capital in amounts and on terms sufficient to fund our operations could limit our ability to continue operations. Refer to Note 1 – Basis of Presentation for detail regarding the Company’s assessment as a going concern.
On November 13, 2024, the Company executed the Fifth Modification to Second Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement. Refer to Note 11 – Subsequent Events for additional information regarding the Fifth Modification.

Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
As a “smaller reporting company,” as defined by Item 10 of Regulation S-K, we are not required to provide this information.
Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our President and Chief Executive Officer (who serves as our principal executive officer) and our Chief Financial Officer (who serves as our principal financial officer) have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(c)) as of October 31, 2024. Based on that evaluation, our President and Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of October 31, 2024, due to the material weaknesses described below.
| ● |
As of October 31, 2024, the Company has concluded that its internal controls over financial reporting were not effective due to separate material weaknesses arising each from a lack of sufficient segregation of duties in preparing and reviewing certain entries and the precise review of supplemental schedules not being performed. The initiation of transactions, the custody of assets, the recording of transactions, and the maintenance of supplemental schedules should be performed and reviewed by separate individuals with a level of precision sufficient to detect a material misstatement. |
| ● |
As of April 30, 2024, the Company concluded our internal control over financial reporting related to our accounting and classification for the warrants issued in connection with the debt private placement in February 2024 was, and continues to be, ineffective as of October 31, 2024. Our internal control over financial reporting did not detect the proper accounting classification of the warrants issued in connection with the debt private placement. The change in the classification impacted initial allocation of proceeds for the transaction, the presentation and recognition of the warrants between equity and liability and the recognition of expenses originally allocated to the warrants |
Management’s Remediation Measures
While the Company has improved its organizational capabilities, the Company’s remediation efforts are ongoing. Management is committed to maintaining a strong internal control environment. In response to the identified material weaknesses in the overall control environment, management is currently implementing additional measures which include:
| ● |
Use of additional consulting firms to assist with significant and complex accounting transactions, provide staffing resources to establish segregation of duties and create a more structured financial statement reporting environment. Through this combination of actions, the Company will establish more effective controls and available resources to ensure both adequate segregation of duties and perform precise reviews of the supplemental schedules. The Company is evaluating the need for additional resources and intends to expand the available personnel and third party professionals for complex accounting applications and to ensure appropriate segregation of duties as soon as practicable. In addition, management continues to utilize mitigating controls with regards to cash disbursements and vendor authorization processes to ensure segregation of duties in those areas. |
| ● |
Our remediation plan includes ensuring appropriate segregation of duties regarding the initiation of transactions, custody of assets, the recording of transactions and the review of supplemental schedules, and, expanding and improving our review process throughout, particularly in the context of complex financial instruments and related accounting standards, as well as internal communications in connection therewith. |
The Company will consider the material weaknesses remediated after the applicable controls operate for a sufficient period of time and are tested. We can provide no assurance that our remediation efforts described herein will be successful and that we will not have material weaknesses in the future. However, we believe that the financial statements included in this report fairly present, in all material respects, our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Except for the material weaknesses described above, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the quarter ended October 31, 2024, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
We are, from time to time, a party to various legal proceedings and claims, which arise in the ordinary course of business. We are not aware of any legal matters that could have a material adverse effect on our consolidated results of operations, financial position, or cash flows.
An investment in our common stock or other securities involves a number of risks. You should carefully consider each of the risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2024 which Annual Report includes a detailed discussion of the Company’s risk factors. If any of the risks develop into actual events, our business, financial condition, or results of operations could be negatively affected, the market price of our common stock or other securities could decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment.
Except as described below, there have been no material changes to the risk factors disclosed in Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2024.
We may not be able to generate sufficient cash flows or raise additional debt and equity capital to fund our ongoing operations. We will need to raise additional funding, which may not be available on acceptable terms, if at all. If we are unable to raise additional capital in amounts and on terms sufficient to fund our ongoing operations, our lack of additional capital and results of operations could limit our ability to continue operations.
Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon generating sufficient cash flow from operations and obtaining additional debt and equity financing. If our ability to generate cash flow from operations is curtailed or delayed, our financial condition and results of operations could be materially impacted. We have been dependent on sales of our equity securities and debt financing to meet our ongoing cash requirements. There can be no assurances that we would be able to obtain debt or equity financing when needed, on terms acceptable to the Company, or at all, and our failure to raise additional capital in amounts and on terms sufficient to fund our operations could limit our ability to continue operations.
If we do not meet the continued listing standards of The Nasdaq Capital Market, our common stock could be delisted from trading, which could limit investors’ ability to make transactions in our common stock and subject us to additional trading restrictions.
Our common stock is currently listed on The Nasdaq Capital Market which imposes continued listing requirements with respect to listed shares. On October 24, 2023, we received a letter from the Listing Qualifications Department (the “Staff”) of Nasdaq, indicating that our common stock was subject to potential delisting from The Nasdaq Capital Market because, for a period of thirty (30) consecutive business days, the bid price of our common stock had closed below the minimum $1.00 per share requirement for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the “Bid Price Requirement”). Pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company was initially provided 180 calendar days, or until April 22, 2024, to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement.
On April 23, 2024, the Company received a letter from the Staff informing the Company that, while the Company has not regained compliance with the Bid Price Requirement, the Staff has determined that the Company is eligible for an additional 180 calendar day period, or until October 21, 2024 (the “Second Compliance Period”), to regain compliance.
In order to regain compliance with the Bid Price Requirement, the Company implemented a 1-for-15 reverse stock split pursuant to which each 15 shares of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock immediately prior to the effective time, which was 12:01 am Eastern Daylight Time on October 4, 2024, were combined into one share of the Company’s common stock (the “Reverse Stock Split”). The Company’s common stock began trading on a split-adjusted basis when the market opened on October 4, 2024. On October 18, 2024, the Company received a letter from the Staff information the Company that the Company had regained compliance with the Bid Price Requirements.
There can be no assurance that the market price of our common stock will be maintained for any period of time.
In the event that our common stock is delisted from The Nasdaq Capital Market and is not eligible for quotation or listing on another market or exchange, trading of our common stock could be conducted only in the over-the-counter market or on an electronic bulletin board established for unlisted securities such as the Pink Sheets or the OTC Bulletin Board. In such event, it could become more difficult to dispose of, or obtain accurate price quotations for, our common stock, and there would likely also be a reduction in our coverage by securities analysts and the news media, which could cause the price of our common stock to decline further. Also, it may be difficult for us to raise additional capital if we are not listed on a major exchange.
Such a delisting would also likely have a negative effect on the price of our common stock and would impair your ability to sell or purchase our common stock when you wish to do so. In the event of a delisting, we may take actions to restore our compliance with The Nasdaq Capital Market listing requirements, but we can provide no assurance that any such action taken by us would allow our common stock to become listed again, stabilize the market price or improve the liquidity of our common stock, prevent our common stock from dropping below the Bid Price Requirement or prevent future non-compliance with The Nasdaq Capital Market listing requirements.
