Global Pandemics, Bank Failures, and Geopolitical Conflicts

The impact of global pandemics, including COVID 19, banking failures, geopolitical conflicts, including the war in Ukraine and in the Middle East, creates much uncertainty in the global marketplace. Management continues to monitor the ongoing impact of these events on all aspects of its business, including how they impact its services, customers, employees, vendors, and business partners now and in the future. While these events did not materially adversely affect the Company’s financial results and business operations during the years ended June 30, 2024 or 2023, we are unable to predict the impact that these events, including geopolitical conflicts, will have on its future financial position and operating results due to numerous uncertainties.

Federal Regulation & Traceability: FSMA 204(d) and USDA SOE

In 2020, the United States Food & Drug Administration (“FDA”) announced the “New Era of Smarter Food Safety” blueprint. It “outlines achievable goals to enhance traceability, improve predictive analytics, respond more rapidly to outbreaks, address new business models, reduce contamination of food, and foster the development of stronger food safety cultures.”

In November 2022, the FDA announced the final rule on the Food Safety Modernization Act Section 204(d) (“FSMA 204”) - Traceability for High-Risk Foods. On January 20, 2023, the rule became effective and applies to any person or Company that manufactures, processes, packs or hold foods the FDA considers to be high risk for food borne illness, the so-called Food Traceability List (“FTL”). The FTL is comprised of 16 product categories of food, which represent thousands of products commonly sold in grocery and convenience stores, and all restaurants. As a result, every grocery distributor, wholesaler and retailer, and the food service supply chain, must now institute a traceability program that enables the capture, creation and sharing of specific Key Data Elements (“KDEs”) prescribed by the FDA and required for traceability, at each designated Critical Tracking Event (“CTE”) in the supply chain, for thousands of items.

FSMA 204 requires the traceability data records to be stored for two years, and be retrievable such that specific data records can be presented within 24 hours of a request from the FDA. FSMA 204 is ultimately about supply chain data recording record keeping, resulting is an enormous amount of data to manage, across more than one million supply chain and retail facilities. The deadline for compliance with FSMA 204 is January 20, 2026, and nearly every company impacted will require some type of technical systems support to meet the requirement.

While the FTL includes thousands of product types, the FDA has made it clear in its communications that the list is only the beginning. The FDA states that it would “encourage the voluntary adoption of these practices industry-wide,” There are some strong early indications that the industry will move to complete traceability of all food products within the next few years.

Traceability is, by definition, a supply chain data management issue, which is ReposiTrak’s core expertise. That is why we have made it our goal to develop a traceability solution that is easy, inexpensive and meets FDA’s requirements. TheReposiTrak Traceability Network (“RTN”) is a growing traceability solution, connecting thousands of supplier locations to thousands of food wholesaler and retail locations, using low cost, easy to deploy technology, on the ReposiTrak platform. As the largest connected network of food suppliers, wholesalers and retailers in the world, theReposiTrak Traceability Network is positioned to provide end-to-end traceability to provide a safer food supply chain, tighten controls on food waste, and implement a food recall response that saves lives and money.

Company History

The Company’s technology has its genesis in the operations of Mrs. Fields Cookies, a company co-founded by Randall K. Fields, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer. The Company began operations utilizing patented computer software and profit optimization consulting services to help its retail clients reduce their inventory and labor costs.

On January 13, 2009, the Company acquired 100% of Prescient Applied Intelligence, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Prescient”), a provider of solutions for retailers which, among other things, captured information about transactions between retailers and their suppliers.

In February 2014, Prescient changed its name to Park City Group, Inc. As a result, both Park City Group and PCG Delaware were named Park City Group, Inc.

In June 2015, the Company elected to exercise an option to acquire a 75% interest in ReposiTrak from Leavitt Partners, LP for a cash payment and negotiated the purchase of the remaining 25% with an exchange of shares of the Company. As a result, ReposiTrak became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.

As of June 30, 2020, the Company completed its Supply Chain and Compliance and Food Safety, and MarketPlace supplier discovery and B2B e-commerce solution. As a result, the Company is now largely capable of delivering its services through a single ReposiTrak branded user interface.

As of June 30, 2023, the Company was substantially complete with its Audit Management solution providing a wide variety of Good Manufacturing Practices (“GMP”) and Global Food Safety Initiative (“GFSI”) approved audits. The new solution will help improve quality and safety by making audits more efficient and accurate through better corrective actions management and documentation.

In connection with the rebranding of the Company, on December 21, 2023, the Company effected a change of its corporate name from Park City Group, Inc. to ReposiTrak, Inc., pursuant to a short-form merger with its wholly owned subsidiary, ReposiTrak, Inc., a Utah corporation, with the Company remaining as the surviving entity.

Target Industries Overview

The Company develops its software and services for multi-store retail chains, wholesalers and distributors, and their suppliers. The bulk of the Company’s customers are in the U.S. consumer retail sector for food, convenience store, and general merchandise, although the Company’s software and services are not sold exclusively to this customer base, and the Company believes that its software and services are also applicable to a wide variety of other potential customers domestically and abroad.

Backdrop

The U.S. consumer retail sector in general, which includes food, convenience store, and general merchandise retailers more specifically, are facing pressure from several significant forces. These include (i) increased competitive pressures from the rise of online retailers, (ii) increased regulatory and tort risks, particularly for food retailers, as a result of the passage of the FSMA which placed greater responsibility for the safety of products on the participants in the food supply chain, and (iii) the pressure from consumers to increase product diversity, and in particular, the number of smaller, localized vendors.

Solutions and Services

The Company’s software and services are designed to address the business problems faced by our customers. These solutions are delivered via a cloud-based infrastructure and grouped in three product application suites that mirror the workflow of the Company’s customers as they manage the activities of their supply chain.

The Company’s services are grouped in three application suites:

The Company has a hub and spoke business model. The Company is typically engaged by retailers and wholesalers (“Hubs”), which in turn require their suppliers (“Spokes”) to utilize the Company’s services.

Professional Services

The Company has two professional services groups: (i) the Business Analytics Group offers business-consulting services to suppliers and retailers in the grocery, convenience store and specialty retail industries; and (ii) the Professional Services Group provides consulting services to ensure that our solutions are seamlessly integrated into our customers’ business processes as quickly and efficiently as possible.

Technology, Development and Operations

Product Development

The Company’s product development strategy is focused on creating common technology elements that can be leveraged in multiple applications across our core markets. To remain competitive, the Company is currently designing, coding and testing new products and developing expanded functionality of its current products.

Operations

We currently serve our customers from a third-party data center hosting facility. Along with the Company’s Statement on Standards for Attestation Engagements (“SSAE”) No. 16 certification Service Organization Control (“SOC2”), the third-party facility is also a SSAE No. 16 – SOC2 certified location and is secured by around-the-clock guards, biometric screening and escort-controlled access, and is supported by multiple on-site backup generators in the event of a power failure.

Customers

The Company is currently engaged primarily by food-related consumer goods retailers, wholesalers, and their suppliers. The bulk of the Company’s customers are in the U.S. consumer retail sector for food, convenience stores, and general merchandise. However, the Company is opportunistic and will offer its solutions to a wide variety of other potential customers. No single customer exceeded 10% of the Company’s total revenue in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024.

Sales, Marketing and Customer Support

Sales and Marketing

Through a focused and dedicated sales effort designed to address the requirements of each of its solutions, the Company believes it is well positioned to understand its customers’ businesses, trends in the marketplace, competitive products and opportunities for new product development.

The Company’s primary marketing objectives have been to increase awareness of our solutions, generate sales leads and develop new customer relationships. To this end, the Company attends industry trade shows, conducts direct marketing programs and webinars, publishes industry trade articles, participates in interviews and selectively advertises in industry publications.

In fiscal 2016, the Company embarked on a process of repurposing the Company’s supply chain applications so that they can be delivered via ReposiTrak’s highly scalable online infrastructure. As a result, the Company is now largely capable of delivering its services through a single ReposiTrak branded user interface.

With the convergence of the Company’s solutions to a single delivery platform, the Company also reorganized its sale force and reoriented its marketing efforts. This process involved streamlining the sales force to enable cross-selling by reducing regional account managers and shifting our sales emphasis towards the Company’s inside remote sales team located largely in Utah.

Customer Support

The Company’s global customer support group responds to both business and technical inquiries from its customers relating to how to use its solutions and is available to customers by telephone and email. Basic customer support during business hours is available to customers. Premier customer support includes extended availability and additional services and is available along with additional support services such as developer support and partner support for an additional fee.

Competition

The Company competes with various software vendors, developers and integrators, B2B exchanges, consulting firms, focused solution providers, and business intelligence technology platforms. Although our competitors are often considerably larger companies in size with larger sales forces and marketing budgets, the Company believes that its deep industry knowledge, the breadth and depth of our offerings, and our long-standing relationships with key industry, wholesaler, and other trade groups and associations, gives it a competitive advantage.

Patents and Proprietary Rights

The Company relies on a combination of trademark, copyright, trade secret and patent laws in the U.S. and other jurisdictions as well as confidentiality procedures and contractual provisions to protect our proprietary technology and our name. We also enter into confidentiality agreements with our employees, consultants and other third parties and control access to software, documentation and other proprietary information.

The Company has been awarded nine U.S. patents, and a number of U.S. registered trademarks and U.S. copyrights relating to its software technology and solutions. The Company’s patent portfolio has been transferred to an unrelated third party, although the Company retains the right to use the licensed patents in connection with its business. The Company’s policy is to continue to seek patent protection for all developments, inventions and improvements that are patentable and have potential value to the Company and to protect its trade secrets and other confidential and proprietary information, and the Company intends to defend its intellectual property rights to the extent its resources permit.

The Company is not aware of any patent infringement claims against it; however, there are no assurances that litigation to enforce patents issued to the Company to protect proprietary information, or to defend against the Company’s alleged infringement of the rights of others will not occur. Should any such litigation occur, the Company may incur significant litigation costs, and it may result in resources being diverted from other planned activities, which may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s operations and financial condition.

Employees

As of June 30, 2024, the Company employed a total of 73 employees. Of these employees, 21 are located overseas. The Company plans to continue expanding its offshore workforce to augment its analytics services offerings, expand its professional services and to provide additional programming resources. The employees are not represented by any labor union.

Reports to Security Holders

The Company is subject to the informational requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Accordingly, it files annual, quarterly and other reports and information with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The SEC maintains an Internet site (www.sec.gov) that contains reports, proxy and information statements, and other information regarding issuers that file electronically with the SEC. Copies of these reports, proxy and information statements and other information may be obtained by electronic request at the following e-mail address: publicinfo@sec.gov.

Government Regulation and Approval

Like all businesses, the Company is subject to numerous federal, state and local laws and regulations, including regulations relating to patent, copyright, and trademark law matters.

Cost of Compliance with Environmental Laws

The Company currently has no costs associated with compliance with environmental regulations and does not anticipate any future costs associated with environmental compliance; however, there can be no assurance that it will not incur such costs in the future.
