Mobivity Holdings Corp.
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
1. Nature of Operations and Basis of Presentation
Mobivity Holdings Corp. (the “Company” or “us”, “our”, or “we”) is a Nevada corporation organized in 2008, which develops and operates proprietary platforms over which brick and mortar brands and digital first enterprises can conduct national and localized, data-driven marketing campaigns with unique targeting, incentivization and promotion to drive customer acquisition and loyalty. The company’s core technology platform, RecurrencyTM, enables:
● | Transformation of messy point-of-sale (POS) data collected from thousands of points of sale into usable intelligence. | |
● | Measurement, prediction, and ability to boost guest frequency and spend by channel. | |
● | Deployment and management of one-time use offer codes and attribution of sales accurately across every channel, promotion and media program. | |
● | Delivery of uniquely attributable 1:1 offers that power incentivized actions in digital environments like user acquisition, continued monetization, and activities taken in a digital environment. |
Our recurrency platform generates revenue in two ways. First, delivered as a Software-as-a-Service (“SaaS”) platform used by leading convenience and quick service restaurant brands to build and engage with their loyal customers. Second, through our Connected RewardsTM business, our platform enables and powers unique incentivized programs in digital environments. Through our Connected Rewards platform, we enable businesses to reward their users and customers with products in the real world for actions taken in a digital environment. Our customers include some of the largest mobile casual game publishers in the world and some of the largest convenience and quick service restaurant brands in the world. The programs we run for our customers include incentivized user acquisition where users are rewarded with a real-world product, like a free or discounted burger, for downloading a mobile game, and rewarded play where users receive real world products for accomplishing activities in game, like achieving a certain level or winning enough points. We charge our customers for each unique action where our rewards are delivered, these include a per install or per individual engagement fee.
On September 25, 2024, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”) with SMS Factory, Inc., a Florida corporation (“SMS Factory”). Pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement, SMS Factory purchased all of the right, title and interest in the Company’s SMS/MMS text messaging customer accounts, excluding certain Excluded Assets (as defined in the Asset Purchase Agreement) utilized in the operation of the Company’s SMS/MMS text messaging platform business (the “Business Assets”) effective as of September 25, 2024 (the “Closing Date”). Given that the effect of the Asset Purchase Agreement meets all the initial criteria of ASC Topic 205-20, Presentation of Financial Statements – Discontinued Operations for the classification of discontinued operations, the assets, liabilities, and operating results of Mobivity Holdings Corp have been classified as discontinued operations as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023. The consolidated financial statements for the prior periods have been adjusted to reflect comparable information.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 8-03 of Regulation S-X promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and disclosures required by GAAP for annual financial statements. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 filed with the SEC on April 16, 2024.
In the opinion of management, such statements include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring items) which are considered necessary for a fair presentation of our condensed consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2024, and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year ending December 31, 2024.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Management believes that these estimates are reasonable; however, actual results may differ from these estimates.
Reclassifications
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year’s presentation. The reclassifications did not affect previously reported net losses.
Acquisitions
We account for acquired businesses using the purchase method of accounting. Under the purchase method, our consolidated financial statements reflect the operations of an acquired business starting from the completion of the acquisition. In addition, the assets acquired and liabilities assumed are recorded at the date of acquisition at their respective estimated fair values, with any excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair values of the net assets acquired recorded as goodwill.
Cash
We minimize our credit risk associated with cash by periodically evaluating the credit quality of our primary financial institution. Our balances at times may exceed federally insured limits. We have not experienced any losses on our cash accounts.
Accounts Receivable, Allowance for Doubtful Accounts and Concentrations
Accounts receivable are carried at their estimated collectible amounts. We grant unsecured credit to substantially all of our customers. Ongoing credit evaluations are performed, and potential credit losses are charged to operations at the time the account receivable is estimated to be uncollectible. Since we cannot necessarily predict future changes in the financial stability of our customers, we cannot guarantee that our reserves will continue to be adequate.
As
of September 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023 we recorded an allowance for doubtful accounts of $
Goodwill and Intangible Assets
Goodwill is tested for impairment at a minimum on an annual basis. Goodwill is tested for impairment at the reporting unit level by first performing a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying value. If the reporting unit does not pass the qualitative assessment, then the reporting unit’s carrying value is compared to its fair value. The fair values of the reporting units are estimated using market and discounted cash flow approaches. Goodwill is considered impaired if the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value. The discounted cash flow approach uses expected future operating results. Failure to achieve these expected results may cause a future impairment of goodwill at the reporting unit.
5 |
We
conducted our annual impairment tests of goodwill as of December 31, 2023. As a result of these tests, we had a total impairment charge
of $
Intangible
assets consist of patents and trademarks, purchased customer contracts, purchased customer and merchant relationships, purchased trade
names, purchased technology, non-compete agreements, and software development costs. Intangible assets are amortized over the period
of estimated benefit using the straight-line method and estimated useful lives ranging from
The Company’s evaluation of its goodwill and intangible assets resulted in impairment charges for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
Software Development Costs
Software development costs include direct costs incurred for internally developed products and payments made to independent software developers and/or contract engineers. The Company accounts for software development costs in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) guidance for the costs of computer software to be sold, leased, or otherwise marketed (Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 985-20, Costs of Software to Be Sold, Leased, or Marketed, or “ASC Subtopic 985-20”). Software development costs are capitalized once the technological feasibility of a product is established, and such costs are determined to be recoverable. The technological feasibility of a product encompasses technical design documentation and integration documentation, or the completed and tested product design and working model. Software development costs are capitalized once the technological feasibility of a product is established and such costs are determined to be recoverable against future revenues. Technological feasibility is evaluated on a project-by-project basis. Amounts related to software development that are not capitalized are charged immediately to the appropriate expense account. Amounts that are considered “research and development” that are not capitalized are immediately charged to engineering, research, and development expense.
Capitalized costs for those products that are canceled or abandoned are charged to product development expenses in the period of cancellation. Commencing upon product release, capitalized software development costs are amortized to “Amortization Expense - Development” based on the straight-line method over a period.
The
Company evaluates the future recoverability of capitalized software development costs on an annual basis. For products that have been
released in prior years, the primary evaluation criterion is ongoing relations with the customer. The Company’s evaluation of its
capitalized software development assets resulted in
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
We evaluate long-lived assets (including intangible assets) for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of a long-lived asset may not be recoverable. An asset is considered impaired if its carrying amount exceeds the undiscounted future net cash flow the asset is expected to generate.
Foreign Currency Translation
The Company translates the financial statements of its foreign subsidiary from the local (functional) currency into US Dollars using the year or reporting period end or average exchange rates in accordance with the requirements of ASC subtopic 830-10, Foreign Currency Matters (“ASC 830-10”). Assets and liabilities of these subsidiaries were translated at exchange rates as of the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated at average rates in effect for the periods presented. The cumulative translation adjustment is included in the accumulated other comprehensive gain (loss) within shareholders’ equity. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses arising from exchange rate fluctuations on transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency are included in the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income.
Revenue Recognition and Concentrations
Our Recurrency platform is a hosted solution. We generate revenue from licensing our software to clients in our software as a service model, per-message and per-minute transactional fees, and customized professional services. We recognize license/subscription fees over the period of the contract, service fees as the services are performed, and per-message or per-minute transaction revenue when the transaction takes place. Under ASC 606, revenue is recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to our customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. We consider authoritative guidance on multiple deliverables in determining whether each deliverable represents a separate unit of accounting. Some customers are billed on a month-to-month basis with no contractual term and fees are collected by credit card. Revenue is recognized at the time that the services are rendered, and the selling price is fixed with a set range of plans. Cash received in advance of the performance of services is recorded as deferred revenue.
Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”), is a comprehensive revenue recognition standard that superseded nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance. The Company adopted this standard effective January 1, 2018, applying the modified retrospective method. Upon adoption, the Company discontinued revenue deferral under the sell-through model and commenced recording revenue upon delivery to distributors, net of estimated returns. Generally, the new standard results in earlier recognition of revenues.
We determine revenue recognition under ASC 606 through the following steps:
● | identification of the contract, or contracts, with a customer; | |
● | identification of the performance obligations in the contract; | |
● | identification of the transaction price; | |
● | allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and | |
● | recognition of revenue when, or as, we satisfy a performance obligation. |
During
the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, two customers accounted for

Comprehensive Loss
Comprehensive
loss is defined as the change in equity during a period from transactions and other events and circumstances from non-owner sources.
We are required to record all components of comprehensive loss in the consolidated financial statements in the period in which they are
recognized. Net loss and other comprehensive loss, including foreign currency translation adjustments and unrealized gains and losses
on investments, are reported, net of their related tax effect, to arrive at a comprehensive loss. For the three months ended September
30, 2024 and 2023, the comprehensive loss was $
We primarily issue stock-based awards to employees in the form of stock options. We determine compensation expense associated with stock options based on the estimated grant date fair value method using the Black-Scholes valuation model. We recognize compensation expense using a straight-line amortization method over the respective vesting period.
Research and Development Expenditures
Research and development expenditures are expensed as incurred, and consist primarily of compensation costs, outside services, and expensed materials.
Advertising Expense
Direct
advertising costs are expensed as incurred and consist primarily of trade shows, sales enablement, content creation, paid engagement
and other direct costs. Advertising expense was $
Income Taxes
We account for income taxes using the assets and liability method, which recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities determined based on the difference between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established to reduce deferred tax assets when, based on available objective evidence, it is more likely than not that the benefit of such assets will not be realized. We recognize in the consolidated financial statements only those tax positions determined to be more likely than not of being sustained.
Basic net loss per share excludes any dilutive effects of options, shares subject to repurchase, and warrants. Diluted net loss per share includes the impact of potentially dilutive securities. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, we had securities outstanding which could potentially dilute basic earnings per share in the future. Stock-based compensation, stock options and warrants were excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share when their effect would have been anti-dilutive.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Accounting standards promulgated by the FASB are subject to change. Changes in such standards may have an impact on the Company’s future financial statements. The following is a summary of recent accounting developments.
In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity (“ASU 2020-06”). ASU 2020-06 requires that the if-converted method of computing diluted Earnings per Share. The Company adopted ASU 2020-06 on January 1, 2022.
3. Discontinued Operations
On September 25, 2024, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”) with SMS Factory, Inc., a Florida corporation (“SMS Factory”). Pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement, SMS Factory purchased all of the right, title and interest in the Company’s SMS/MMS text messaging customer accounts, excluding certain Excluded Assets (as defined in the Asset Purchase Agreement) utilized in the operation of the Company’s SMS/MMS text messaging platform business (the “Business Assets”) effective as of September 25, 2024 (the “Closing Date”).
The following table presents a reconciliation of the carrying amounts of the major classes of these assets and liabilities to the current assets and liabilities of discontinued operations as presented on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets:

The risk-free interest rate assumption is based upon published interest rates appropriate for the expected life of our employee stock options.
The expected life of the stock options represents the weighted-average period that the stock options are expected to remain outstanding and was determined based on the historical experience of similar awards, giving consideration to the contractual terms of the stock-based awards, vesting schedules and expectations of future employee behavior as influenced by changes to the terms of the Company’s stock-based awards.
The dividend yield assumption is based on our history of not paying dividends and no future expectations of dividend payouts.
The expected volatility in 2024 and 2023 is based on the historical publicly traded price of our common stock.

9. Fair Value Measurements
Fair value is defined as an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. As a basis for considering such assumptions, the authoritative guidance establishes a three-tier value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows: (Level 1) observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets; (Level 2) inputs other than the quoted prices in active markets that are observable either directly or indirectly; and (Level 3) unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which requires us to develop our own assumptions. This hierarchy requires companies to use observable market data, when available, and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs when determining fair value. On a recurring basis, we measure certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value.
The following table presents assets that are measured and recognized at fair value as of September 30, 2024 on a recurring and non-recurring basis:
Description | Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 | Gains (Losses) | ||||||||||||
Goodwill (non-recurring) | $ | $ | $ | $ | ||||||||||||

10. Commitments and Contingencies
Litigation
Marina Soliman v. Subway Franchisee Advertising Fund Trust, LTD, Second Circuit Court of Appeals, Case No. 22-1726 – this is putative class action alleging that Defendant initiated telephone solicitations through text messages in violation of the Telephone Consumer Protection Act, 47 U.S.C § 227 et al. (“TCPA”). The district court granted Defendant’s motion to dismiss. The matter has been under submission with the Court since October 24, 2023. In the event that the Court reverses and remands the matter, the Company intends to seek an individual settlement of the matter, and if one cannot be reached, the Company intends to vigorously defend the matter.
Ruhi Reimer vs. Checkers Drive-In Restaurants, Inc. - JAMS Ref No. 5410000618 – this is a single Claimant arbitration action filed against Mobivity’s business partner alleging that text messages were sent to the consumer in violation of the TCPA’s regulations relating to the National Do Not Call Registry. The parties are beginning discovery at this time and a Merits Hearing has been set for January 14, 2025. Based on our current understanding, we believe that the case is pretextual and was set up in advance by the Claimant and his attorneys. Because discovery has only just started, it is premature to assess whether there is any material risk of an adverse award.
Abboud v. Circle K Stores Case – United States District Court, Dist. Arizona, Case No 2:23-cv-01683-DWL – this is a putative TCPA class action alleging that Mobivity and its business partner initiated text messages in violation of the TCPA’s regulations relating to the National Do Not Call Registry. We believe that plaintiff has sued the wrong defendant and that the client’s other servicer is actually responsible for any text messages that were sent to the putative class. We are actively attempting to persuade Plaintiff’s counsel to drop Mobivity from the suit.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains “forward-looking statements” as defined in Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, in connection with the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 that involve risks and uncertainties, as well as assumptions that, if they never materialize or prove incorrect, could cause our results to differ materially and adversely from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements Such forward-looking statements include statements about our expectations, beliefs or intentions regarding our potential product offerings, business, financial condition, results of operations, strategies or prospects. You can identify forward-looking statements by the fact that these statements do not relate strictly to historical or current matters. Rather, forward-looking statements relate to anticipated or expected events, activities, trends, or results as of the date they are made and are often identified by the use of words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” or “will,” and similar expressions or variations. Because forward-looking statements relate to matters that have not yet occurred, these statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual results to differ materially from any future results expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. Many factors could cause our actual activities or results to differ materially from the activities and results anticipated in forward-looking statements. These factors include those risks disclosed under the caption “Risk Factors” included in our 2023 annual report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC, on April 17, 2024, and in our subsequent filings with the SEC. Furthermore, such forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this report. We undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances occurring after the date of such statements.
Overview
Mobivity Holdings Corp. (the “Company” or “us”, “our”, or we”) develops and operates proprietary platforms over which brick and mortar brands and digital first enterprises can conduct national and localized, data-driven marketing campaigns with unique targeting, incentivization and promotion to drive customer acquisition and loyalty. The company’s core technology platform, RecurrencyTM, enables
● | Transformation of messy point-of-sale (POS) data collected from thousands of locations and digital environments into usable intelligence. | |
● | Measurement, prediction, and ability to boost guest frequency and spend by channel. | |
● | Deployment and management of one-time use offer codes and attribution of sales accurately across every channel, promotion and media program. | |
● | Delivery of uniquely attributable 1:1 offers that power incentivized actions in digital environments like user acquisition, continued monetization, and activities taken in a digital environment. |
Our recurrency platform generates revenue in 2 ways. First, delivered as a Software-as-a-Service (“SaaS”) platform used by leading convenience and quick service restaurant brands to build and engage with their loyal customers. Second, through our Connected RewardsTM business, our platform enables and powers unique incentivized programs in digital environments. Through our Connected Rewards platform, we enable businesses to reward their users and customers with products in the real world for actions taken in a digital environment. Our customers include some of the largest mobile casual game publishers in the world and some of the largest convenience and quick service restaurant brands in the world. The programs we run for our customers include incentivized user acquisition where users are rewarded with a real-world product, like a free or discounted burger, for downloading a mobile game, and rewarded play where users receive real world products for accomplishing activities in game, like achieving a certain level or winning enough points. We charge our customers for each unique action where our rewards are delivered, these include a per install or per individual engagement fee.

Company Strategy
Our objective is to build an industry-leading mobile marketing technology product that bridges between in-person and digital environments powering a unique and defensible alternative for digital-first businesses to engage and retain their customers by rewarding them with real-world products and offers. The key elements to our strategy are:
● | Exploit the competitive advantages and operating leverage of our technology platform. The core of our business is our ability to integrate our Recurrency platform into digital environments and deliver rewards based on activities taken in a digital environment. Because of our long history operating as a loyalty marketing solution we believe we have a defensible head start and ability to continue building products and features that will retain our competitive advantage. | |
● | Evolve our sales and customer support infrastructure to uniquely meet the needs of the quickly evolving digital marketing universe. We have quickly evolved our organization and business to fill a gap in the digital marketing landscape. Through continued innovation and emphasis on automation and predictive analytics we believe we will expand our niche and create further value for our Connected Rewards Customers. | |
● | Acquire complementary businesses and technologies. We will continue to search and identify unique opportunities which we believe will enhance our product features and functionality, revenue goals, and technology. We intend to target companies with some or all of the following characteristics: (1) an established revenue base; (2) strong and defensible technology services that further build out and differentiate our platform; (3) opportunities for substantial expense reductions through integration into our platform; and (4) strong sales teams. Our acquisitions have historically been consummated through the issuance of a combination of our common stock and cash. | |
● | Build our intellectual property portfolio. We currently have nine issued patents that we believe have significant potential application in the technology industry. We plan to continue our investment in building a strong intellectual property portfolio. |
While these are the key elements of our current strategy, there can be no guarantees that our strategy will not change or that our strategy will be successful or implemented at all.

Foreign Currency
The Company’s financial results are impacted by volatility in the Canadian/U.S. Dollar exchange rate. The average U.S. Dollar exchange rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, was $1 Canadian equals $0.74 U.S. Dollars, respectively. This compares to an average rate of $1 Canadian equals $0.74 during the same period in 2023. The Company’s functional or measurement currency is the U.S. Dollar. Based on a U.S. Dollar functional currency, the following are the key areas impacted by foreign currency volatility:
● | The Company sells products primarily in U.S. Dollars; therefore, reported revenues are not highly impacted by foreign currency volatility. | |
● | A portion of the Company’s expenses are incurred in Canadian Dollars and therefore fluctuate in U.S. Dollars as the U.S. Dollar varies. A weaker U.S. Dollar results in an increase in translated expenses, and a stronger U.S. Dollar results in a decrease. | |
● | Changes in foreign currency rates also impact the translated value of the Company’s working capital that is held in Canadian Dollars. Foreign exchange rate fluctuations result in foreign exchange gains or losses based upon movement in the translated value of Canadian working capital into U.S. Dollars. |
The change in foreign currency was a gain of $1,358 and a loss of $91,825 for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
The change in foreign currency was a gain of $216,687 and a gain of $123,190 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of September 30, 2024, we had current assets of $1,367,564, including $532,450 in cash, and current liabilities of $8,090,773, resulting in a working capital deficit of $6,723,209.
We believe as of the date of this report, we do not have the working capital on hand, along with our expected cash flow from operations and budget reductions, to sufficiently fund our current level of operations through the end of the next 12 months or beyond. We will require additional capital and will seek to obtain additional working capital through the sale of our securities and, if available, bank lines of credit. There can be no assurance we will be able to obtain access to capital as and when needed, or that the terms of any available financing will be commercially reasonable.
The Company entered in to a sublease on March 1, 2024 for its office facilities in Chandler, AZ through February 28, 2025. Monthly rental payments including rental of office furniture and excluding taxes, are $24,470. The Company has transition to a 100% remote work force and this has resulted in a decrease in monthly rental expense.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.
We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Item 10(f)(1) of Regulation S-K. As such, we are not required to provide the information set forth in this item.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As required by Rule 13a-15(b) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), our management, with the participation of our Principal Executive Officer and Interim Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e), as of the end of the period covered by this report. “Disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e), are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Principal Executive Officer and Interim Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on this evaluation, our management, including our Principal Executive Officer and Interim Chief Financial Officer, concluded that as of September 30, 2024 our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective.
As a small company with limited resources that are mainly focused on the development and sales of software products and services, the Company does not employ a sufficient number of staff in its finance department to possess an optimal segregation of duties or to provide optimal levels of oversight. This has resulted in certain audit adjustments and management believes that there may be a possibility for a material misstatement to occur in future periods while it employs the current number of personnel in its finance department.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
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 nine months ended September 30, 2024 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
