Note 2 - Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The condensed financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and considering the requirements of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The Company has a fiscal year with a June 30 year end.

In the opinion of management, the condensed financial statements of the Company as of December 31, 2023 and 2022 and for the six months ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 include all adjustments and accruals, consisting only of normal, recurring accrual adjustments, which are necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods. These interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year.

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed in or omitted from this report pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. These financial statements should be read together with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2023.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. The total amount of bank deposits (checking and savings accounts) insured by the FDIC at year end was $250,000.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are recorded at cost. The straight-line method is used for computing depreciation and amortization. Assets are depreciated over their estimated useful lives. The cost of leasehold improvements is depreciated (amortized) over the lesser of the length of the related leases or the estimated useful lives of the assets. Costs of maintenance and repairs are charged to expense when incurred.

Depreciable Life - Years
Leasehold improvementsShorter of estimated lease term or 10 years
Furniture and fixtures7 years
Computer equipment and software5 years

Capitalized Software Costs

The Company capitalizes costs incurred in the development of software for its Customers, including the costs of the software, materials, consultants, and payroll and payroll related costs for employees incurred in developing computer software. Planning costs incurred prior to the development of software and costs not qualifying for capitalization are charged to expense. The Company amortizes capitalized software over a period of three years, which is the expected useful life of the software. The following table reflects the Company’s capitalized software, amortization expense, and accumulated amortization for the six months ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Revenue Recognition

We generate our revenue from contractual arrangements with businesses, colleges and universities to provide a comprehensive platform of integrated technology and technology enabled services related to product offerings. During the six months ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, we recognized revenue from contracts with Customers of $105,000 and $517,000, respectively, related to services provided over time.

Performance Obligations and Timing of Recognition

A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to the customer. A contract’s transaction price is allocated to each distinct performance obligation and recognized as revenue when, or as, the performance obligation is satisfied.

This performance obligation is satisfied as the partners receive and consume benefits, which occur ratably over the contract term.

Occasionally, we provide professional services, such as custom development, non-complex implementation activities, training, and other various professional services. We evaluate these services to determine if they are distinct and separately identifiable in the context of the contract. In our contracts with Customers that contain multiple performance obligations as a result of this assessment, we allocate the transaction price to each separate performance obligation on a relative standalone selling price basis. Standalone selling prices of our solutions and services are typically estimated based on observable transactions when the solutions or services are sold on a standalone basis. When standalone selling prices are not observable, we utilize a cost-plus margin approach to allocate the transaction price.

We also receive fees that are fixed in nature, such as annual license and maintenance charges, in place of or in conjunction with variable consideration. The fees are recognized ratably over the service period of the contract that the Company’s platform is made available to the customer (i.e., the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefit of the software over the contract service period).

For the six months ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, all revenue recognized has been recognized over the related contract periods. For the six months ended December 31, 2023, two Customers represent 21% each, one represents 18%, and one represents 14% of total revenue.

Accounts Receivable, Contract Assets, and Deferred Liabilities

Balance sheet items related to contracts consist of accounts receivable (net), contract assets, and deferred liabilities on our condensed balance sheets. Accounts receivable (net) is stated at net realizable value, and we utilize the allowance method to provide for doubtful accounts based on management’s evaluation of the collectability of the amounts due. Our estimates are reviewed and revised periodically based on historical collection experience and a review of the current status of accounts receivable. Historically, actual write-offs for uncollectible accounts have not significantly differed from prior estimates. There was no allowance for doubtful accounts on accounts receivable balances as of December 31, 2023 or June 30, 2023.

We may recognize revenue prior to billing a customer when we have satisfied or partially satisfied our performance obligations as billings to our customers may not be made until after the service period has commenced. As of December 31, 2023 we had $7,500 of contract assets.

Deferred liabilities as of each balance sheet date represent the excess of amounts billed or received as compared to amounts recognized in revenue on our condensed statements of operations as of the end of the reporting period, and such amounts are reflected as a current liability on our condensed balance sheets as deferred revenue. We generally receive payments prior to completion of the service period and our performance obligations. These payments are recorded as deferred liability until the services are delivered or until our obligations are otherwise met, at which time revenue is recognized.

Some contracts also involve annual license fees, for which upfront amounts are received from customers. In these contracts, the license fees received in advance of the platform’s launch are recorded as deferred liabilities.

The following table provides information on the changes in the balance of deferred liabilities for the six months ended December 31:

20232022
Opening balance$53,958$342,672
Billings63,750451,490
Less revenue recognized (net of cancellations):(104,583)(517,422)
Closing balance$13,125$276,740

Revenue recognized during the six months ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 that was included in the deferred revenue balance that existed in the opening balance of each year was approximately $40,800 and $207,000, respectively.

The deferred revenue balance as of December 31, 2023 is expected to be recognized over the next 12 months.

Stock-Based Compensation

We have issued four types of stock-based awards under our stock plans: stock options, restricted stock units, deferred stock units, and stock warrants. All stock-based awards granted to employees, directors and independent contractors are measured at fair value at each grant date. We rely on the Black-Scholes option pricing model for estimating the fair value of stock-based awards granted, and expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of the Company’s stock prices. Stock options generally vest over two years from the grant date and generally have ten-year contractual terms. Restricted stock units generally have a term of 12 months from the closing date of the agreement. Stock warrants issued have a term of five years. Information about the assumptions used in the calculation of stock-based compensation expense is set forth in Note 3 in the Notes to Financial Statements.

Technology and Content Development

Technology and content development expenditures consist primarily of personnel and personnel-related expense and contracted services associated with the maintenance of our platform as well as hosting and licensing costs and are charged to expense as incurred. It also includes amortization of capitalized software costs and research and development costs related to improving our platform and creating content that are charged to expense as incurred.

Fair Value Measurements

Accounting standards require certain assets and liabilities be reported at fair value in the financial statements and provide a framework for establishing that fair value. The framework for determining fair value is based on a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value.

Fair values determined by Level 1 inputs use quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access.

Fair values determined by Level 2 inputs use other inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly. These Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets and other inputs such as interest rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals.

Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs, including inputs that are available in situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the related asset. These Level 3 fair value measurements are based primarily on management’s own estimates using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques.

In instances wherein inputs used to measure fair value fall into different levels in the above fair value hierarchy, fair value measurements in their entirety are categorized based on the lowest level input that is significant to the valuation. The Company’s assessment of the significance of particular inputs to these fair value measurements requires judgment and considers factors specific to each asset or liability.

Income Taxes

A current tax liability or asset is recognized for the estimated taxes payable or refundable on tax returns for the year. Deferred tax liabilities or assets are recognized for the estimated future tax effects of temporary differences between financial reporting and tax accounting.

Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance to the extent management concludes it is more likely than not that the assets will not be realized. 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. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the statement of operations in the period that includes the enactment date.

Net Loss per Share

At December 31, 2023 and June 30, 2023, the Company had 753,641 and 758,079 potentially dilutive shares of common stock related to common stock options and warrants, respectively, as determined using the if-converted method. For the six months ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, the dilutive effect of common stock options and common stock warrants has not been included in the average shares outstanding for the calculation of net loss per share as the effect would be anti-dilutive as a result of our net losses in these periods.

Subsequent Events

The Company evaluated subsequent events through the date of this Form 10-Q and has determined that no events have occurred that would require recognition or disclosure in the financial statements.

Risks and Uncertainties

The Company operates in an industry subject to rapid change. The Company’s operations will be subject to significant risk and uncertainties including financial, operational, technological, and other risks associated with an early-stage company, including the potential risk of business failure.

Note 3 - Stock-Based Compensation

The Company’s Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) permits the grant of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, and deferred stock units to officers, employees, directors, consultants, agents, and independent contractors of the Company. The Company believes that such awards align the interests of its employees, directors, and consultants with those of its stockholders.

Option awards are generally granted with an exercise price equal to the market price of the Company’s stock at the date of grant; those option awards generally vest over four years from the grant date and generally have ten-year contractual terms. Certain option awards provide for accelerated vesting (as defined in the Plan).

The Company estimates the fair value of each option award using a Black Scholes Model (“BSM”). Expected volatilities are based on historical volatility of comparable companies. The Company uses historical data to estimate option exercise within the valuation model or estimates the expected option exercise when historical data is unavailable. The risk-free rate for periods within the contractual life of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. The Company has not paid any dividends on common stock since its inception and does not anticipate paying dividends on its common stock in the foreseeable future. When calculating the amount of annual compensation expense, the Company has elected not to estimate forfeitures and instead accounts for forfeitures as they occur.

No options were granted for the six months ended December 31, 2023 or 2022. As of December 31, 2023, there were approximately $58,000 of total unrecognized compensation costs for employees and non-employees related to nonvested options. These costs are expected to be recognized through December 2026.

A summary of options terminated, as well as those that vested, in the six months ended December 31, 2023 is presented below:

OptionsNumber of SharesWeighted Average Exercise PriceWeighted Average Remaining Contractual Term (in years)
Outstanding at July 1, 2023237,041$21.736.39
Terminated(6,355)$16.475.24
Additional vesting1,917$28.587.08
Outstanding and expected to vest at December 31, 2023232,603$21.935.92

On September 29, 2021, the board of directors approved changes to our director compensation program for fiscal year 2022 and beyond. The board instituted an annual cash retainer for directors in an amount of $48,000 per director with an additional retainer for the chair of our Compensation Committee and Audit Committee of $7,500 and $10,000, respectively. Directors can choose to receive deferred stock units in lieu of cash payments. For the six months ended December 31, 2023, $125,000 in deferred stock units were awarded and $27,750 in cash compensation was accrued.

As of December 31, 2023, the Company has 579,331 shares of common stock available for granting under the Plan.

Note 4 – Warrants

As of December 31, 2023 and June 30, 2023, there were 521,000 warrants outstanding.

The Company measures the fair value of warrants using Black-Scholes Model. No warrants have been issued during the six months ended December 31, 2023. The fair value of the warrants issued during the year ended June 30, 2023 was approximately $2,026,010 using a volatility of 94.9%, risk-free rate of 3.54%, and an expected term of 5.5 years.

Note 5 - Income Taxes

For the six months ended December 31, 2023 and prior periods since inception, the Company’s activities have not generated taxable income or tax liabilities. Accordingly, the Company has not recognized an income tax benefit on the Condensed Statements of Operations for the six months ended December 31, 2023 and 2022.

The Company has approximately $25.4 million of net operating loss carryforwards available to reduce future income taxes, of which approximately $17,000 of net operating loss carryforwards expire in 2037. Due to uncertainty as to the realization of the net operating loss carryforwards and other deferred tax assets as a result of the Company’s limited operating history and operating losses since inception, a full valuation allowance has been recorded against the Company’s deferred tax assets.
