NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
July 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 six months ended July 31, 2024, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending January 31, 2025.
The Company has
operating segment and reporting unit due to the singular nature of our products, product development and distribution process, and client base as a provider of computer software-based solutions and services for acute-care healthcare providers.
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 July 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.
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.
Reclassification
Certain amounts for the three and six months ended July 31, 2023, were reclassified to conform to the current period classification. For the three and six months ended July 31, 2023, the Company incurred acquisition-related costs totaling $
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:

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 six months ended July 31, 2024. There was no Level 3 roll-forward activity for the three months ended July 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, July 31, 2024 and January 31, 2024. The term loan bears interest at a per annum rate equal to the
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, July 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 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 | Six Months Ended | |||||||||||||||
July 31, 2024 | July 31, 2023 | July 31, 2024 | July 31, 2023 | |||||||||||||
Over time revenue | $ | $ | $ | $ | ||||||||||||
Point in time revenue | ||||||||||||||||
Total revenue | $ | $ | $ | $ |
The Company includes revenue categories of (i) over time and (ii) point in time 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 six months ended July 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 July 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 July 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 six months ended July 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 six months ended July 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 to issue
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 July 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.
The following is the calculation of the basic and diluted net loss per share of common stock for the three and six months ended July 31, 2024 and 2023:

NOTE 4 — OPERATING LEASES
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.

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. As of July 31, 2024, the Company was in compliance with the financial covenants under the Second Amended and Restated Loan Agreement. 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. See Note 1 - Basis of Presentation for detail regarding the Company’s assessment as a going concern.

The Notes and the Warrants described above were offered in a private placement under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and/or Regulation D promulgated thereunder and, along with the common stock underlying the Warrants, were "restricted securities" under the Securities Act or applicable state securities laws. 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.

On September 20, 2021, the Company entered into a separate MSA in support of Avelead products. As of December 2023, all outstanding SOWs under both MSAs were effectively replaced by two new SOWs.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
We make forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this “Report”) and in other materials we file with the SEC or otherwise make public. This Report, therefore, contains statements about future events and expectations which are forward-looking statements within the meaning of Sections 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). In addition, our senior management makes forward-looking statements to analysts, investors, the media and others. Statements with respect to expected revenue, income, receivables, backlog, client attrition, acquisitions and other growth opportunities, sources of funding operations and acquisitions, the integration of our solutions, the performance of our channel partner relationships, the sufficiency of available liquidity, research and development, and other statements of our plans, beliefs or expectations are forward-looking statements. These and other statements using words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “plan,” “project,” “target,” “can,” “could,” “may,” “should,” “will,” “would” and similar expressions also are forward-looking statements. Each forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date of the particular statement. The forward-looking statements we make are not guarantees of future performance, and we have based these statements on our assumptions and analyses in light of our experience and perception of historical trends, current conditions, expected future developments and other factors we believe are appropriate under the circumstances. Forward-looking statements by their nature involve substantial risks and uncertainties that could significantly affect expected results, and actual future results could differ materially from those described in such statements. Management cautions against putting undue reliance on forward-looking statements or projecting any future results based on such statements or present or historical earnings levels.
Among the factors that could cause actual future results to differ materially from our expectations are the risks and uncertainties described under “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2024 and in our subsequent filings with the SEC, and include among others, the following:

Overview
On August 16, 2021, the Company entered into a Unit Purchase Agreement (“UPA”) to acquire Avelead, a recognized leader in providing solutions and services to improve revenue integrity for healthcare providers nationwide. The Company believes Avelead’s solutions will complement and extend the value the Company can deliver to its customers. Operations for Avelead are included in the Company’s consolidated financial information from the acquisition date. Refer to Note 3 – Business Combination in our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item I, “Financial Statements” for further information on the Avelead acquisition.
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 $759,000 of expenses in the three months ending January 31, 2024, which consisted of approximately $731,000 in severance and other employee termination-related expenses and approximately $28,000 in incurred legal fees. As of July 31, 2024, the Company has recorded all expenses related to the Strategic Restructuring.

Software as a Service (SaaS) — Revenue from SaaS for the three and six months ended July 31, 2024 decreased by $453,000 and $905,000, respectively, compared to the prior year periods. A previously announced client non-renewal contributed to a decrease of $953,000 and $1,897,000 for the three and six months ended July 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 revenue in each 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 $2.9 million of annualized contract value of SaaS contracts to be implemented as of July 31, 2024. The Company is seeing improvements in the contract-to-implementation timelines compared to the prior year. The industry had been impacted by hospital personnel shortages and a backlog of hospital IT projects. 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 six months ended July 31, 2024, revenue from maintenance and support decreased by $217,000 and $484,000, respectively, compared to the prior year periods. As the Company continues to prioritize SaaS products, we anticipate maintenance and support revenue will decline in fiscal 2024 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 six months ended July 31, 2024, decreased by $624,000 and $906,000, 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 six months ended July 31, 2024, revenue from professional services decreased by $431,000 and $585,000, 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 six month period ending July 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 six months ended July 31, 2024, revenue from audit services decreased by $189,000 and $379,000, 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 clients resulted in an increase of audit services revenue of $112,000 for the six month period ending July 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 fiscal year 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 six months ended July 31, 2024, the cost of SaaS solutions decreased $398,000 and $638,000, 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 six months ended July 31, 2024, the cost of SaaS solutions includes non-cash charges of $556,000 and $1,101,000, 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 six months ended July 31, 2024, the cost of maintenance and support increased by $11,000 and decreased by $37,000, 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 $182,000 and $403,000, respectively, for the three and six months ended July 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 six months ended July 31, 2024, professional services costs increased by approximately $9,000 and decreased by $52,000, 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 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 six months ended July 31, 2024, decreased by approximately $202,000 and $364,000, 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 six months ended July 31, 2024, increased by $14,000 and $24,000, 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 six months ended July 31, 2024, the general and administrative expenses decreased by $1,044,000 and $1,417,000, respectively, compared to the prior year periods. The decrease was driven primarily by lower compensation and related benefits of approximately $508,000 and $930,000 for the three and six months ended July 31, 2024, respectively. The Company saw an increase in director fees and audit financial fees for the six months ended July 31, 2024, compared to the prior year period. Overall, despite some increases in specific areas, the Company is successfully implementing cost saving initiatives to its general and administrative expenses for the six months ended July 31, 2024.
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 six months ended July 31, 2024, sales and marketing expenses decreased by $83,000 and $359,000, 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. Overall, despite some increases in specific areas, the Company is successfully implementing cost saving initiatives to its sales and marketing expenses for the six months ended July 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 six months ended July 31, 2024, interest expense increased by $229,000 and $446,000, respectively. The increase was primarily attributable to interest accrued on the $4,400,000 of notes payable (See 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 three and six months ended July 31, 2024, the Company recorded valuation loss of $91,000 and gain of $44,000, for the Warrants, respectively. The valuation adjustments for the three and six months ended July 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 or six months ended July 31, 2023. For the six months ended July 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 July 31, 2024. For the three and six months ended July 31, 2023, the Company recorded valuation gains of $359,000 and $723,000, respectively, related to the Avelead earnout liability.
There was no miscellaneous income for the three and six months ended July 31, 2024. Miscellaneous income for the six months ended July 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 benefit of $0 and income tax expense of $61,000 for the six months ended July 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 of Directors 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, 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 of Directors, 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 of Directors 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 of Directors.
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 six months ended July 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.
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 July 31, 2024 and January 31, 2024, were approximately $3,536,000 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 a Third Modification and Waiver to Second Amended and Restated Loan Agreement (the “Third Modification”) and a Fourth Modification to Second Amended and Restated Loan Agreement (the “Fourth Modification”) on February 7, 2024 and April 5, 2024, respectively (collectively, the “Third and Fourth Modifications”). The Third and Fourth Modifications 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 and Third and Fourth Modifications.
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. As of July 31, 2024, the Company was in compliance with the financial covenants under the Second Amended and Restated Loan Agreement. 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. See Note 1 - Basis of Presentation for detail regarding the Company’s assessment as a going concern.

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 July 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 July 31, 2024, due to the material weakness described below.
Material Weakness in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
The Company identified a material weakness in 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. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. 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 allocated to the warrants originated. As a result of this material weakness, our management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of July 31, 2024.
Remediation of Material Weakness in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
To respond to this material weakness, management is working to remediate the material weakness and enhance our overall control environment. Our remediation plan includes expanding and improving our review process, particularly in the context of complex financial instruments and related accounting standards, as well as internal communications in connection therewith. In addition, management will continue to engage third-party professionals with whom to consult regarding complex accounting applications. The Company will consider the material weakness 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.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Except for the material weakness 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 July 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”). Nasdaq stated in its letter that in accordance with the Nasdaq Listing Rules, we have been provided an initial period of one hundred eighty (180) calendar days, or until April 22, 2024, to regain compliance with the Bid Price Requirement. The letter states that Nasdaq will provide written notification that we have achieved compliance with the Bid Price Requirement if at any time before April 22, 2024, the bid price of our common stock closes at $1.00 per share or more for a minimum of ten (10) consecutive business days. 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. If at any time during the Second Compliance Period, the closing bid price of our common stock is at least $1.00 per share for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days, the Staff will provide the Company with written confirmation of compliance. If compliance with the Bid Price Requirement cannot be demonstrated by October 21, 2024, the Staff will provide written notification that our common stock will be delisted. At that time, the Company may appeal the Staff’s determination to a Hearings Panel.
On August 19, 2024, the Company filed a Definitive Proxy Statement with the SEC which includes a proposal related to the approval of a reverse stock split (the “Reverse Stock Split”) of our issued and outstanding shares of common stock at a ratio of any whole number between 1-for-5 and 1-for-15, at any time prior to October 4, 2024, with the exact ratio to be set within that range at the discretion of the Board of Directors. The primary goal of the Reverse Stock Split is to increase the trading price of our common stock to meet the Bid Price Requirement. However, even if our stockholders approve the Reverse Stock Split proposal and the Reverse Stock Split is effected, the effect of the Reverse Stock Split, if any, upon the market price of our common stock cannot be accurately predicted. In particular, there can be no assurance that the price per share of our common stock will increase in proportion to the reduction of the number of shares of our common stock outstanding before the implementation of the Reverse Stock Split. In addition, the Reverse Stock Split could be viewed negatively by the market and other factors and may adversely affect the market price of the shares of our common stock. Even if the market price of our common stock does rise following the Reverse Stock Split, there can be no assurance that the market price of our common stock immediately after the Reverse Stock Split 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.
