Forward-Looking Information

This report includes, in addition to historical information, "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.  This act provides a "safe harbor" for forward-looking statements to encourage companies to provide prospective information about themselves so long as they identify these statements as forward-looking and provide meaningful cautionary statements identifying important factors that could cause actual results to differ from the projected results.  All statements other than statements of historical fact we make in this report are forward-looking statements.  In particular, the statements regarding industry prospects and our future results of operations or financial position are forward-looking statements.  Such statements are based on management's current expectations and are subject to a number of uncertainties and risks that could cause actual results to differ significantly from those described in the forward looking statements.  Factors that may cause such a difference include the following:
 
  · the success of our new products depends on a number of factors including market acceptance and our ability to manage the risks associated with product introduction;
  · local, regional, national and international economic conditions and events, and the impact they may have on us and our customers;
  · our revenue could be adversely impacted if any of our significant customers reduces its order levels or fails to order during a reporting period; and
  · other factors, including, but not limited to, those set forth under Item 1A, “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report, as amended, on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2012, which was filed with the SEC on April 12, 2013, and in other documents we have filed with the SEC.
 
Statements included in this report are based upon information known to us as of the date that this report is filed with the SEC, and we assume no obligation to update or alter our forward-looking statements made in this report, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as otherwise required by applicable federal securities laws.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

1.  Basis of Presentation
 
Our Board of Directors adopted an amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation changing our name from GraphOn Corporation to hopTo Inc. effective September 9, 2013. A Certificate of Amendment of Incorporation was filed with the Delaware Secretary of State implementing the name change. The amendment had been previously approved by our stockholders.
 
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of hopTo Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, “we”, “us” or “our”); significant intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated upon consolidation. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) applicable to interim financial information and the rules and regulations promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).  Accordingly, such unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all information and footnote disclosures required in annual financial statements.
 
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included herein reflect all adjustments, which include only normal, recurring adjustments, except for the effect of the amendment to warrants (Note 4), that are, in our opinion, necessary to state fairly the results for the periods presented. This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements contained in our Annual Report, as amended, on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2012, which was filed with the SEC on April 12, 2013 (“2012 10-K/A Report”). The interim results presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that may be expected for the full fiscal year ending December 31, 2013 or any future period.
 
During September 2012, we reached settlement and licensing agreements that effectively ended all of our then on-going intellectual property litigation.  Having been approached by the respective counter-parties to each of our lawsuits, and in consultation with our board of directors, we determined that it was in our best long-term strategic interests to settle each lawsuit in order to move forward and shift our focus to our software products, including our new product initiatives.    We do not intend to pursue intellectual property litigation as an integral part of our strategy to fund our future operations.  Accordingly for all periods presented, the results of operations and cash flows related to our former intellectual property segment has been segregated and reported as “Discontinued Operations”.  See Note 17 to our Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

2.  Significant Accounting Policies
 
Use of Estimates
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us 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 revenues and expenses during the reporting period. These estimates include: the amount of stock-based compensation expense; the allowance for doubtful accounts; the estimated lives, valuation, and amortization of intangible assets (including capitalized software); depreciation of long-lived assets; valuation of warrants; post-employment benefits, and accruals for liabilities. While we believe that such estimates are fair, actual results could differ materially from those estimates.
 
Revenue Recognition
 
We market and license our products indirectly through channel distributors, independent software vendors (“ISVs”), value-added resellers (“VARs”) (collectively, “resellers”) and directly to corporate enterprises, governmental and educational institutions and others.  Our product licenses are perpetual.  We also separately sell intellectual property licenses, maintenance contracts, which are comprised of license updates and customer service access, as well as other products and services.

Software license revenues are recognized when:
 
· Persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (i.e., when we sign a non-cancellable license agreement wherein the customer acknowledges an unconditional obligation to pay, or upon receipt of the customer’s purchase order), and
·
Delivery has occurred or services have been rendered and there are no uncertainties surrounding product acceptance (i.e., when title and risk of loss have been transferred to the customer, which occurs when the media containing the licensed program(s) is provided to a common carrier or, in the case of electronic delivery, when the customer is given access to the licensed program(s)), and
· The price to the customer is fixed or determinable, as typically evidenced in a signed non-cancellable contract, or a customer’s purchase order, and
· Collectability is probable.  If collectability is not considered probable, revenue is recognized when the fee is collected.
 
Revenue recognized on software arrangements involving multiple deliverables is allocated to each deliverable based on vendor-specific objective evidence (“VSOE”) or third party evidence of the fair values of each deliverable; such deliverables include licenses for software products, maintenance, private labeling fees, and customer training.  We limit our assessment of VSOE for each deliverable to either the price charged when the same deliverable is sold separately or the price established by management having the relevant authority to do so, for a deliverable not yet sold separately.
 
If sufficient VSOE of the fair value does not exist so as to permit the allocation of revenue to the various elements of the arrangement, all revenue from the arrangement is deferred until such evidence exists or until all elements are delivered. If VSOE of the fair value does not exist, and the only undelivered element is maintenance, then we recognize revenue on a ratable basis. If VSOE of the fair value of all undelivered elements exists but does not exist for one or more delivered elements, then revenue is recognized using the residual method.  Under the residual method, the fair value of the undelivered elements is deferred and the remaining portion of the arrangement fee is recognized as revenue.
 
Certain resellers (“stocking resellers”) purchase product licenses that they hold in inventory until they are resold to the ultimate end user (an “inventory stocking order”). At the time that a stocking reseller places an inventory stocking order, no product licenses are shipped by us to the stocking reseller; rather, the stocking reseller’s inventory is credited with the number of licenses purchased and the stocking reseller can resell (issue) any number of licenses from their inventory at any time. Upon receipt of an order to issue a license(s) from a stocking reseller’s inventory (a “draw down order”), we will ship the license(s) in accordance with the draw down order’s instructions. We defer recognition of revenue from inventory stocking orders until the underlying licenses are sold and shipped to the end user, as evidenced by the receipt and fulfillment of the stocking reseller’s draw down order, assuming all other revenue recognition criteria have been met.
 
There are no rights of return granted to resellers or other purchasers of our software products.
 
Revenue from maintenance contracts is recognized ratably over the related contract period, which generally ranges from one to five years.
 
All of our software licenses are denominated in U.S. dollars.

Deferred Rent
 
The lease for our office in Campbell, California, contains free rent and predetermined fixed escalations in our minimum rent payments. We recognize rent expense related to this lease on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. We record any difference between the straight-line rent amounts and amounts payable under the lease as part of deferred rent in current or long-term liabilities, as appropriate.
 
Incentives that we received upon entering into the lease agreement are recognized on a straight-line basis as a reduction to rent over the term of the lease. We record the unamortized portion of these incentives as a part of deferred rent in current or long-term liabilities, as appropriate.
 
Postemployment Benefits (Severance Liability)
 
Nonretirement postemployment benefits, including salary continuation, supplemental unemployment benefits, severance benefits, disability-related benefits and continuation of benefits such as health care benefits, are recognized as a liability and a loss when it is probable that the employee(s) will be entitled to such benefits and the amount can be reasonably estimated. The cost of termination benefits recognized as a liability and an expense includes the amount of any lump-sum payments and the present value of any expected future payments. During 2012, we recorded $721,800 of severance expense, including stock compensation expense. Such expense was recorded as a result of a separation agreement and a release with Robert Dilworth in connection with Mr. Dilworth’s resignation as our Chief Executive Officer and as a member of our board of directors.  In addition, during 2013 we recorded an additional $75,700 of severance expense as a result of a separation and release agreement we entered into with a former vice president-level employee (as further discussed in Note 5 to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements).  An aggregate of $140,100 and $262,400 is reflected as a severance liability, at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.
Software Development Costs
 
We capitalize software development costs incurred from the time technological feasibility of the software is established until the software is available for general release, in accordance with GAAP. Such capitalized costs are subsequently amortized as costs of revenue over the shorter of three years or the remaining estimated useful life of the product.
 
Research and development costs and other computer software maintenance costs related to the software development are expensed as incurred.
 
Long-Lived Assets
 
Long-lived assets are assessed for possible impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts may not be recoverable, whenever we have committed to a plan to dispose of the assets or, at a minimum, annually. Typically, for long-lived assets to be held and used, measurement of an impairment loss is based on the fair value of such assets, with fair value being determined based on appraisals, current market value, comparable sales value, and discounted future cash flows, among other variables, as appropriate. Assets to be held and used (which assets are affected by an impairment loss) are depreciated or amortized at their new carrying amount over their remaining estimated life; assets to be sold or otherwise disposed of are not subject to further depreciation or amortization. No such impairment charge was recorded during either of the three or nine-month periods ended September 30, 2013 or 2012.
 
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
 
We maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts that reflects our best estimate of potentially uncollectible trade receivables. The allowance is based on assessments of the collectability of specific customer accounts and the general aging and size of the accounts receivable.  We regularly review the adequacy of our allowance for doubtful accounts by considering such factors as historical experience, credit worthiness, and current economic conditions that may affect a customer’s ability to pay. We specifically reserve for those accounts deemed uncollectible. We also establish, and adjust, a general allowance for doubtful accounts based on our review of the aging and size of our accounts receivable.

Derivative Financial Instruments
 
We currently do not have a material exposure to either commodity prices or interest rates; accordingly, we do not currently use derivative instruments to manage such risks. We evaluate all of our financial instruments to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives. All derivative financial instruments are recognized in the balance sheet at fair value. Changes in fair value are recognized in earnings if they are not eligible for hedge accounting or in other comprehensive income if they qualify for cash flow hedge accounting.
 
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
 
The fair value of our accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their carrying amounts due to the relative short maturities of these items.

The fair value of warrants at issuance and for those recorded as a liability at each reporting date are determined in accordance with the Financial Account Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820, “Fair Value Measurement,” which establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the assumptions (inputs) to valuation techniques used to price assets or liabilities that are measured at fair value. The hierarchy, as defined below, gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. The guidance for fair value measurements requires that assets, liabilities and certain equity instruments measured at fair value be classified and disclosed in one of the following categories:

·
Level 1: Defined as observable inputs, such as quoted (unadjusted) prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
 
·
Level 2: Defined as observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1. This includes quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
 
·
Level 3: Defined as unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities. Level 3 assets and liabilities include those whose fair value measurements are determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies or similar valuation techniques, as well as significant management judgment or estimation.
 
As of September 30, 2013, all of our $1,968,800 Warrants Liability reported at fair value was categorized as Level 3 inputs (See Note 4).
 
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In July 2013, FASB issued ASU No. 2013-11 “Income Taxes (Topic 740)” (ASU 2013-11). The objective of ASU 2013-11 is to provide explicit guidance on the financial statement presentation of an unrecognized tax benefit when a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward exists. FASB recognized that there was inconsistency in how previous guidance in this topic was applied in practice, thus; the objective of ASU 2013-11 is to eliminate the diversity of how previous guidance was applied. As the amendments in ASU 2013-11 do not require new recurring disclosures, rather, they are aimed at creating consistency in how previous guidance is applied, we do not believe that adoption of ASU 2013-11, which will become effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013, will have a material impact on our results of operations, cash flows or financial position.
In February 2013, FASB issued ASU No. 2013-02 “Other Comprehensive Income” (ASU 2013-02). The objective of ASU 2013-02 is to improve the reporting of reclassifications out of other comprehensive income.  This objective is reached by requiring an entity to report the effect of significant reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income on the respective line items in net income if the amount being reclassified is required under GAAP to be reclassified in its entirety to net income.  ASU 2013-02 is effective and is to be applied prospectively to reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2012. We currently have no amounts that would meet the criteria to be reclassified; accordingly, the adoption of ASU 2013-02 did not have a material impact on our results of operations, cash flows or financial position.  Comprehensive loss equals net loss for the each of the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
 
In July 2012, FASB issued ASU No. 2012-02 “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other” (ASU 2012-02). The objective of ASU 2012-02 is to reduce the cost and complexity of performing an impairment test for indefinite-lived intangible assets by simplifying how an entity tests those assets for impairment and to improve consistency in impairment testing guidance among long-lived asset categories. ASU 2012-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012. Early adoption is permitted. We currently have no goodwill or material indefinite-lived intangible assets; accordingly, the adoption of ASU 2012-02 did not have a material impact on our results of operations, cash flows or financial position.

4.  Liability Attributable to Warrants
 
On June 17, 2013, we entered into, and subsequently consummated, an Exercise Agreement (the “Exercise Agreement”) with five of the largest investors in our September 1, 2011 private placement of common stock and warrants (the “2011 Transaction”), providing for the exercise for cash by such investors of warrants to purchase an aggregate of 9 million shares of our common stock, out of the approximately 17 million shares of common stock subject to warrants issued to the investors in the 2011 Transaction that remained outstanding as of such date. The approximately 5 million shares of common stock subject to warrants issued to the placement agent in the 2011 Transaction that remained outstanding as of such date were not part of the Exercise Agreement.  The Company agreed under the Exercise Agreement to subsequently commence a tender offer (the “Offer to Exercise”) to provide these holders of other warrants that remained outstanding from the 2011 Transaction with the same opportunity to exercise as provided under the Exercise Agreement.
 
The warrants exercised had a remaining term of approximately 38 months, and had an exercise price of $0.26 per warrant, which was the original exercise price. We received cash proceeds of $2.34 million as a result of the warrants exercised. In consideration for the early exercise of these warrants, we issued to the five investors an aggregate of 4.5 million warrants to purchase common stock at an exercise price of $1.00 per warrant, with a term of five years from issuance (the “New Warrants”). The New Warrants were issued on June 18, 2013, are substantially similar to the investor warrants that were exercised, and, after giving effect to the amendments to such warrants described below, such warrants have been recorded as a component of equity (additional paid-in capital “APIC”) at Level 3 fair value.
 
Using a binomial pricing model, we calculated the fair value of the New Warrants issued at the time of the Exercise Agreement to be $514,800. We used the following assumptions in the binomial pricing model: estimated volatility – 185%; annualized forfeiture rate – 0%; expected term – 5 years; estimated exercise factor – 1.5, risk free interest rate – 1.07%; and dividends – 0.  The New Warrants were accounted for as a cost of the exercise of the warrants issued pursuant to the Exercise Agreement; as a result a $514,800 reduction of APIC was also recorded.  Accordingly, there was no net effect on equity because of the issuance of the new warrants.
Immediately prior to the exercise for cash, the five investors, who held a majority of the outstanding warrants issued in the 2011 Transaction to investors (“Investor Warrants”), agreed to amend the entire series of such warrants to delete the following provisions: (1) the price-based anti-dilution clause; (2) our right to lower the exercise price in our discretion; and (3) a clause that mandated that we buy the warrants for cash at their Black-Scholes value in the event of certain extraordinary transactions. By virtue of a majority-rule clause in the warrants, the elimination of these provisions from the Investor Warrants issued in the 2011 Transaction eliminated the warrant derivative liability classification related to all of the Investor Warrants issued in the 2011 Transaction including those held by investors who did not exercise their warrants at the date of the amendment.   The tables below show the calculation of the reduction of the warrants derivative liability.
 
The warrants issued to the placement agent and to an intellectual property consulting firm (ipCapital Group, Inc.) were not included in the Exercise Agreement or affected by the amendment described above.   The exercise price of such warrants could, in certain circumstances, be reset to below-market value. Accordingly, unlike the amended investor warrants, we have concluded that the warrants issued to the placement agent and ipCapital Group, Inc. are not indexed to our common stock; therefore, the fair value of these warrants were, and continue to be, recorded as a liability.

On August 9, 2013, we consummated an offer to exercise warrants (the “Offer to Exercise”) made to holders of warrants in the 2011 Transaction who were not parties to the Exercise Agreement.  We were obligated to conduct the Offer to Exercise under the terms of the Exercise Agreement entered into in connection with the June 17, 2013 transaction.  In connection with the Offer to Exercise, warrants to purchase an aggregate of 305,000 shares of our common stock were exercised for which we received cash proceeds of $64,000.  In consideration for the early exercise of these warrants, we issued an aggregate of 152,500 New Warrants at an exercise price of $1.00 per warrant, with a term of five years from issuance.
 
Using a binomial pricing model, we calculated the fair value of the New Warrants issued at the end of the Offer to Exercise to be $45,600. We used the following assumptions in the binomial pricing model: estimated volatility 171%; annualized forfeiture rate 0%; expected term 4.875 years; estimated exercise factor 4, risk free interest rate 1.31%; and dividends 0.  The New Warrants were accounted for as a cost of the exercise of the warrants issued pursuant to the Exercise Agreement; as a result a $45,600 reduction of APIC was also recorded.  Accordingly, there was no net effect on equity because of the issuance of the new warrants.

Under ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurement,” we re-measure the fair value of the warrants classified as a liability at every balance sheet date.  As an integral part of the re-measurement process, we reevaluate each of the assumptions used, and when circumstances change or we become aware of new information affecting any of our assumptions, we adjust those assumptions accordingly.  During the three months ended March 31, 2013 two investors in the 2011 private placement exercised an aggregate of 462,500 warrants.  While closing our books for the three months ended March 31, 2013, we reevaluated our internal assumptions based on historic and recent exercise patterns and analysis of our stock performance.  Based on the work performed, we concluded that a lowering of our estimated exercise factor for the warrants issued in conjunction with the 2011 transaction from 10 to 4 was appropriate (see the assumptions used, as set forth in the tables, below).
 
Changes in fair value of the warrants liability are recognized in other (income), except for changes in the fair value of the warrants issued to ipCapital which are recognized as a component of general and administrative expense in the condensed consolidated statement of operations.
 
We used the exercise price of the warrants, as well as the fair market value of our common stock, to determine the fair value of our warrants.  The exercise price for warrants issued in conjunction with the 2011 Transaction, including those issued to the placement agent, was either $0.20 or $0.26 per share, and was $0.26 per share for the warrants issued to ipCapital. The fair market value of our common stock was $0.54 and $0.30 per share as of September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
 
We used a binomial pricing model to determine the fair value of our warrants liability as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the balance sheet dates, using the following assumptions:

During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2013, our warrants liability was reduced as a result of the warrants amendment, as discussed above. Additionally, our warrants liability was further reduced by $385,900 as a result of the exercise of 1,072,500 warrants during such period, whose terms were not affected by the changes made under the warrants amendment. The aggregate reduction in the liability, combining the warrant amendment and this exercise, was $4,776,900. See Note 13.

(1) Effective September 18, 2013, we entered into a consulting agreement with Genesis Select to provide us with a variety of investor relations services. As part of their compensation, we issued to them a warrant to purchase 312,500 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.50 per share. The warrant will vest, monthly, over the initial twelve-month service period of the contract, assuming that the agreement remains in-force, with the first vesting having occured on October 18, 2013. The warrant is substantially similar in nature to those issued in the warrant amendment, discussed above, thus; the warrant is accounted in equity and is not included as a component of our warrants liability as of September 30, 2013. We used the following assumptions in a binomial pricing model to calculate the fair value of the warrant issued to Genesis: estimated volatility – 181%; expected term – 4.96 years; estimated exercise factor – 4, risk free interest rate – 1.41%; and dividends – 0. Expense associated with this warrant is recognized as a component of general and administrative expense over the one-year vesting term of the warrant.

5.  Severance Liability

On April 12, 2012, we entered into a separation agreement and a release with Robert Dilworth in connection with Mr. Dilworth’s resignation as our Chief Executive Officer and as a member of our board of directors. Subject to the terms of the separation agreement, effective April 20, 2012 (the “Release Effective Date”) we paid or provided Mr. Dilworth the following:
 
·
On the Release Effective Date, Mr. Dilworth’s outstanding unvested options became fully vested and exercisable, and his outstanding vested options were modified to extend the exercise period. All options will remain exercisable until the earlier of (i) the expiration dates of each of such options or (ii) the date that is 30 months after the Release Effective Date. The number of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of such outstanding options is 2,000,000. We recognized $172,700 of non-cash stock-based compensation expense during 2012, as a result of the modification of Mr. Dilworth’s outstanding stock options.  No expense was recognized during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2013 as a result of the modifications.
 
·
On the Release Effective Date, Mr. Dilworth was granted an option to purchase 500,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.20 per share. Such option has a term of 30 months from the date of grant and will vest and become exercisable at a rate of 62,500 shares per quarter commencing on July 1, 2012. We recognized $64,700 of non-cash stock-based compensation expense during 2012 as a result of the issuance of this stock option to Mr. Dilworth.  No expense was recognized during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2013 as a result of the issuance.

From May 2012 through April 2013, Mr. Dilworth was paid $27,300 per month. From May 2013 through April 2014, Mr. Dilworth will be paid $13,600 per month.  During the three-month period ended June 30, 2012, we recognized $433,700 compensation expense related to Mr. Dilworth’s separation agreement, which we recorded as a liability.  Such amount represented the present value of the future salary and medical insurance (discussed below) continuation payments due Mr. Dilworth under the terms of the separation agreement.  During the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2013, we made salary continuation payments aggregating $36,600 and $172,900, respectively, to Mr. Dilworth.  As of September 30, 2013, the aggregate present value of the remaining future salary and medical insurance coverage continuation payments due Mr. Dilworth was $92,300, which was reported as a current liability.  All interest expense associated with the salary and medical insurance continuation payments made are charged to general and administrative expenses as incurred.  During the three and nine-month periods ended June 30, 2013, we incurred interest charges of $4,200 and $18,100 respectively.
 
·
From May 2012 through October 2013, we paid the premium costs to continue medical coverage for Mr. Dilworth and his spouse under the Employment Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. Such premiums aggregated $5,800 for May 2012 and June 2012, and will approximate $1,300 per month thereafter. During the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2013 we made medical insurance coverage continuation payments of $3,800 and $11,000 respectively.  During the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2013, we incurred interest charges of $100 and $700, respectively.
 
·
We paid Mr. Dilworth $15,000 as reimbursement for a portion of his legal fees in connection with negotiation of the separation agreement and the release.
 
Mr. Dilworth’s participation in the Key Employee Severance Plan and the Director Severance Plan was automatically terminated on the Release Effective Date. In addition, the separation agreement contains confidentiality and non-disparagement provisions subject to the terms set forth therein. Pursuant to the terms of the release, Mr. Dilworth provided as of the Release Effective Date a release of claims in connection with his employment and resignation. As a result of the separation agreement, we recognized an aggregate $721,800 of additional operating expenses, as summarized above of which all such expense was recognized contemporaneously with the consummation of Mr. Dilworth’s separation agreement during the second quarter of 2012.
We estimated the fair value of each stock-based award set forth above, which were included as part of Mr. Dilworth’s separation agreement during 2012, using a binomial model with the assumptions set forth in the following table:

Expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of our common stock over the expected option term period ended on the last business day of each respective quarterly reporting period. The estimated forfeiture rate was set to zero as Mr. Dilworth is not obligated to perform any services for us under the terms of the separation agreement. The expected term was based on the actual expiration date of each of the options in the separation agreement. The estimated exercise factor was based on an analysis of historical data; historical exercise patterns; and a comparison of historical and current share prices. The approximate risk free interest rate was based on the implied yield available on U.S. Treasury issues with remaining terms equivalent to our expected term on our stock-based awards. We do not anticipate paying dividends on our common stock for the foreseeable future.

We discounted the initial aggregate remaining cash salary continuation payments due Mr. Dilworth and medical premiums to be paid on his behalf of $458,600 under the terms of the separation agreement using a 14.3% discount factor, with such factor representing our average cost of capital, which we derived by analyzing the costs we incurred in the various private placement transactions we have closed since 2004.
 
On July 17, 2013 we entered into a separation agreement and release with a former vice president-level employee who left the Company on June 7, 2013.  Subject to the terms of the separation agreement, which became effective on July 17, 2013 (the “Effective Date”), we accrued $75,700 of severance liability at June 30, 2013, of which, $47,800 remained outstanding as of September 30, 2013.

Deferred rent expense represents the remaining balance of the aggregate free rent we received from our landlord and escalations that are being recognized over the life of the lease as a component of rent expense. Deferred rent benefit relates to the unamortized portion of the leasehold improvements provided to us by our landlord (i.e., incentives) that we are recognizing on a straight-line basis as a reduction to rent expense over the term of the lease.

Of the options outstanding as of September 30, 2013, 8,332,644 were vested, 3,906,226 were estimated to vest in future periods and 132,189 were estimated to be forfeited prior to their vesting.  As of September 30, 2013, there was approximately $239,100 of total unrecognized compensation cost, net of estimated forfeitures, related to unvested stock options. Such cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately nine months.
 
All options are exercisable immediately upon grant.  Options vest, ratably over a 33-month period commencing in the fourth month after the grant date.  We have the right to repurchase common stock issued upon the exercise of an option upon an optionee’s termination of service to us prior to full vesting at the option’s exercise price.
 
The following table presents summaries of the status and activity of our restricted stock awards for the three-month period ended September 30, 2013. We include the common stock underlying the restricted stock award in shares outstanding once such common stock has vested and the restriction has been removed (“releases” or “released”).The common stock vests ratably, over a 33-month period; however, no such shares vest until after three months from the date of the restricted stock award.

Amortization of capitalized software development costs is a component of costs of revenue. Capitalized software development costs amortization aggregated $24,000 and $107,100 during the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2013, respectively, and $41,500 and $124,600 during the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2012, respectively.
 
We recorded $79,100 and $543,600 of capitalized software development costs during the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2013, respectively.  Such capitalized costs were incurred in the development of our new product hopTo, and are comprised primarily of employee costs and the cost of licenses to third party software that will be used by our hopTo product upon its commercial release.  We anticipate releasing the first commercial version of hopTo in the fourth quarter time frame and will begin amortizing its capitalized software development costs accordingly (See Note 18).  Had these costs not met the criteria for capitalization, they would have been expensed.  We did not record any capitalized software development costs during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2012.
11.  Stockholders’ Equity
 
Stock Repurchase Program
 
During each of the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, we did not repurchase any of our common stock under the terms of our Board-approved $1,000,000 stock repurchase program (“stock repurchase program”). As of September 30, 2013, approximately $782,600 remained available for future purchases under this program. We are not obligated to repurchase any specific number of shares and the stock repurchase program may be suspended or terminated at our discretion.
 
12.  Commitments and Contingencies
 
Our corporate headquarters currently occupies 4,413 square feet of office space in Campbell, California, under a five-year lease that expires June 30, 2017. During October 2013, we amended our lease in order to secure a larger facility from our landlord. See Note 18.

13.  Supplemental Disclosure of Cash Flow Information
 
We did not disburse any cash for the payment of interest expense during the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2013 or 2012.
 
We disbursed $1,800 and $3,100 for the payment of income taxes during the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. All such disbursements were for the payment of foreign income taxes related to the operation of our Israeli subsidiary, GraphOn Research Labs Ltd.
 
During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2013, we capitalized $36,700 of stock-based compensation expense for which no cash was disbursed, as a component of capitalized software development costs. We did not capitalize any stock based compensation expense costs during the nine month period ended September 30, 2012.
 
During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2013, we reduced our warrants liability by $5,421,300, of which $680,100 was recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. The amendment to the warrants resulted in $4,391,000 being reclassified to equity.  The remaining reduction amount was the result of the exercise of 1,072,500 warrants that were not part of the amendment.  No cash was disbursed in conjunction with these items (see Note 4).
 
During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2013, we capitalized $3,700 of property and equipment for which no cash was disbursed.
 
During the nine month period ended September 30, 2012, we incurred costs associated with discontinued intellectual property operations activities of $468,400, of which $432,800 was disbursed, and the balance reported as a component of accounts payable.
 
During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2012, we capitalized $130,900 of property and equipment for which no cash was disbursed. We recorded $104,100 of such amount to long term liabilities – deferred rent, $24,000 of such amount to current liabilities – deferred rent and the balance to accounts payable and accrued liabilities.
 
14.  Earnings (Loss) Per Share
 
Earnings or loss per share is calculated by dividing the net income or loss for the period by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings or loss per share (“Diluted EPS”) is calculated by dividing the net income or loss for the period by the total of the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period plus the effects of any dilutive securities. Diluted EPS considers the impact of potentially dilutive securities except in periods in which there is a loss because the inclusion of such potential shares of common stock would have an anti-dilutive effect. During all periods presented in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, potentially dilutive securities included shares of common stock potentially issuable upon exercise of stock options, release of unvested restricted stock awards and exercise of warrants. Diluted EPS excludes the impact of potential issuance of shares of common stock related to our stock options in periods in which the exercise price of the stock option is greater than the average market price of our common stock during such periods.
 
For the three-month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, 33,707,201 and 36,997,357 shares of common stock equivalents, respectively, were excluded from the computation of dilutive loss per share since their effect would be antidilutive.
 
For the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, 33,707,201 and 36,997,357 shares of common stock equivalents, respectively, were excluded from the computation of dilutive loss per share since their effect would be antidilutive.

15.  Segment Information
 
FASB has established guidance for reporting information about operating segments that require segmentation based on our internal organization and reporting of revenue and operating income, based on internal accounting methods. Our financial reporting systems present various data for management to operate the business prepared in methods consistent with such guidance.
 
During 2012, we entered into settlement and licensing agreements that effectively ended all of our then ongoing intellectual property litigation activities (Note 17).  As a result of these agreements, we will no longer be pursuing patent litigation as an integral funding strategy for our operations.

We will continue to pursue the intellectual property initiatives we have undertaken in conjunction with our relationship with ipCapital, however we believe that these initiatives do not comprise a reporting segment as the intent of these initiatives is to support and leverage our current software products and those in development.

Also, effective for the quarter ended December 31, 2012, we added a new segment (hopTo) and identified that we currently operate our business in two segments; namely GO-Global and hopTo.  Currently, GO-Global is the only segment that generates revenue.

During the three-month period ended September 30, 2013, commensurate with the renaming of our company to hopTo Inc., we reclassified certain corporate-level expenses from the GO-Global segment to the hopTo segment, including those pertaining to our ipCapital initiatives. The impact of such reclassifications appears in the following segment tables for all periods presented.

16.  Related Party Transactions
 
Tamalpais Partners LLC
 
Steven Ledger, the Chairman of our Board of Directors, is the founder and managing partner of Tamalpais Partners LLC, (“Tamalpais”) a business consulting firm. On August 1, 2013, we amended our consulting agreement with Tamalpais. Under the consulting agreement, as amended, Tamalpais will provide us with advisory services focused on capital and business issues, including assistance on raising capital, mergers, acquisitions, business development and investor relations/positioning. We paid Tamalpais $54,000 and $18,000 during the three-month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, for services rendered to us under the terms of this consulting agreement.  We paid Tamalpais $92,000 and $48,000 during the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, for services rendered to us under the terms of this consulting agreement.  No amounts were due to Tamalpais at September 30, 2013.

ipCapital Group, Inc.

On October 11, 2011, we engaged ipCapital Group, Inc. (“ipCapital”), an affiliate of John Cronin, who is one of our directors, to assist us in the execution of our strategic decision to significantly strengthen, grow and commercially exploit our intellectual property assets.  Our engagement agreement with ipCapital, which has been amended three times, affords us the right to request ipCapital to perform a number of diverse services, employing its proprietary processes and methodologies, to facilitate our ability to identify and extract from our current intellectual property base new inventions, potential patent applications, and marketing and licensing opportunities.
 
For the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2013 we paid ipCapital an aggregate of $0 and $31,200, respectively, for services performed under the engagement agreement, as amended. No amounts were due ipCapital at September 30, 2013. For the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2012 we paid ipCapital an aggregate $30,000 and $130,000, respectively for services performed under the engagement agreement, as amended. As of September 30, 2012, we owed ipCapital $37,300.
 
Prior to entering into the engagement agreement with ipCapital in 2011, ipCapital performed an analysis of our intellectual property and the potential methods we could employ to strengthen our intellectual property on a consulting basis.  We paid ipCapital $50,000 for this analysis in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2012.  All amounts paid to ipCapital in 2013 and 2012 have been reported within general and administrative expense.
 
In addition to the fees we agreed to pay ipCapital for its services, we issued ipCapital a five-year warrant to purchase up to 400,000 shares of our common stock at an initial price of $0.26 per share.  Half of the warrant (200,000 shares) has a time-based vesting condition, with such vesting to occur in three equal annual installments. The first two vesting installments occurred on October 11, 2012 and October 11, 2013, respectively, with the remaining vesting installment to occur on October 11, 2014.  The remaining 200,000 shares became fully vested upon the completion to our satisfaction of all services that we requested from ipCapital under the engagement agreement, prior to the signing of the amendments.  Such performance was deemed satisfactory during 2012.  We believe that these fees, together with the issuance of the warrant, constitute no greater compensation than we would be required to pay an unaffiliated person for performing substantially similar services.
 
The exercise price of the warrant issued to ipCapital could be reset to below-market value. Consequently, we have concluded that such warrant is not indexed to our common stock and should be recorded as a liability. We recognize the warrants liability over their vesting period, and in accordance with the liability method of accounting, we re-measure the fair value of the accrued warrants at each balance sheet date and recognize the change in fair value as general and administrative compensation expense. (See Note 4) We recognized $49,500 and $38,200 as a component of general and administrative expense during the three-month periods ended September, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and $35,700 and $52,700 during the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, resulting from the change in fair value.

ipCapital Licensing Company I, LLC
 
On February 4, 2013, we entered into an IP Brokerage agreement with ipCapital Licensing Company I, LLC (“ipCLC”).  John Cronin is a partner at ipCLC.  Pursuant to the agreement, we have engaged ipCLC, on a no-retainer basis, to identify and present us with candidates who may be seeking to acquire a certain limited group of our patents unrelated to our current business strategy. If during the applicable term we enter into an agreement with any candidate presented by ipCLC to acquire or otherwise exploit the covered patents, we will pay ipCLC a fee of ten percent (10%) of the royalties, fees, and other consideration paid over the life of the agreement.
 
The agreement is effective as of February 4, 2013, and will end 18 months after we or ipCLC serve 60 days written notice of termination to the other party (with earlier termination possible in the event of a material breach).  The agreement provides for customary confidentiality undertakings, limitations on ipCLC’s total liability and mutual indemnification provisions.
 
We believe the terms of the agreement are fair and reasonable to us and are at least as favorable as those that could be obtained on an arms’ length basis.

17. Discontinued Operations
 
During 2012, we reached settlement agreements that effectively ended all of our then on-going intellectual property litigation.  With the settlement of such litigation activities we ceased actively pursuing intellectual property litigation as an integral part of our strategy to fund our operations.  Accordingly, for all periods presented, the results of operations and cash flows related to our former intellectual property segment has been segregated and reported as “Discontinued Operations”.  There was no revenue derived from our intellectual property litigation in either of the three or nine month periods ended September 30, 2013 or 2012.  During the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2012 we incurred costs of $347,100 and $468,400 related to our discontinued operations, respectively.
 
We will continue to make significant investments in our intellectual property during the remainder of 2013.  We believe such investments will be an asset that will leverage our product strategy and protect our long-term growth strategies.  We do not intend to pursue intellectual property litigation as an integral part of our strategy to fund our future operations.
 
As of September 30, 2013 and 2012, all of our patents were fully amortized.  Additionally, we have characterized the NES patents as “held for sale” and will be pursuing reasonable sales opportunities for such patents as they become known to us.
 
18. Subsequent Events
 
On October 7, 2013, we amended our office lease with our landlord. Under the terms of the amendment, we will move from our current location to another building within the same office complex, and increase the space we lease from 4,413 square feet to 10,659 square feet. We believe the move will be completed on or about December 31, 2013.

The amended lease becomes effective November 1, 2013 and will expire on October 31, 2018. The lease contains rent escalation clauses and four months of free rent. Additionally, we paid $18,100 to the landlord as a prepayment of the first month’s rent on the new space. The following table sets forth the minimum lease payments due over the life of the lease.

Under the terms of the lease, the landlord will provide us with various leasehold improvements totaling $106,600. Upon signing the amendment, we made a deposit of $109,000 to our landlord.
 
As of September 30, 2013, we reported $103,700 of unamortized leasehold improvements associated with our current lease. We expect to amortize this amount over the remaining three month life of our current lease. We believe we will be moving most of our current furniture and equipment to our new space.
 
On November 14, 2013, we launched the first commercial version of hopTo, our mobile productivity workspace product on Apple’s App Store.

ITEM 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Introduction

We are developers of software productivity products for mobile devices such as tablets and smartphones, and application publishing software solutions. Our newest product, which is called hopTo, will be marketed to both consumers and businesses. hopTo will provide mobile end-users with a productivity workspace for their mobile devices that will allow users to manage, share, view, and edit their documents, regardless of where they are stored. We launched the first public release of hopTo through Apple’s App Store on April 15, 2013. This release was targeted at Apple’s tablet devices, the iPad and the iPad Mini. Future releases will be targeted at other devices such as Apple’s iPhone, as well as competing devices such as those based on Google’s Android platform.

In addition to hopTo, we also sell a family of products under the brand name GO-Global, which is a software application publishing business and is our sole revenue source at this time. GO-Global is an application access solution for use and/or resale by independent software vendors (ISVs), corporate enterprises, governmental and educational institutions, and others, who wish to take advantage of cross-platform remote access and Web-enabled access to their existing software applications, as well as those who are deploying secure, private cloud environments.  

Over the years, we have also made significant investments in intellectual property (IP). We have filed many patents designed to protect the new technologies embedded in hopTo, and we plan to continue to aggressively invest in the creation and protection of new IP as we continue to develop hopTo and other products.
 
Recent Developments
 
On September 9, 2013, we changed the name of our company from GraphOn Corporation to hopTo Inc.
 
We launched the first commercial version of hopTo on November 14, 2013 on Apple’s App Store.
 
Corporate Background

We are a Delaware corporation, founded in May 1996.  Our headquarters are located at 1901 S. Bascom Avenue, Suite 660, Campbell, California, 95008 and our phone number is 1-800- 472-7466.   We also have an office in Concord, New Hampshire. Additionally, we have remote employees located in various states, as well as internationally in the United Kingdom and Israel.  Our corporate Internet Website is http://www.hopto.com.  The information on our website is not part of this quarterly report.
 
Our Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, Current Reports on Form 8-K and any amendments to such reports filed with or furnished to the SEC under sections 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 are made available free of charge on our corporate Internet Website (click the “Investors” on our home page and then click “SEC Filings”) as soon as reasonably practicable after such reports are electronically filed with or furnished to the SEC.

The hopTo Product
 
The premise of hopTo is that mobile users using devices such as Apple’s iPad are looking for ways to leave their Mac or Windows computer behind and travel with just their tablets. hopTo was designed to assist such users in performing operations on their iPads that would typically require a Mac or Windows PC. Our view is that devices such as the iPad lack a number of basic functionalities in order to serve as a suitable “PC replacement” for business users:
· The ability to access and manage all of the user’s files and documents, no matter where they are stored. This includes cloud storage sources such as Dropbox and Google Drive, and also connectivity into the user’s home or work PC, which for many users, still serves as a primary storage device.
· The ability to multitask, meaning to deal with multiple documents at the same time, side by side. The iPad is inherently a single document environment, which we believe is a major shortcoming for most users.
· The ability to view, create, and edit Microsoft Office documents in a way that is 100% compatible with Microsoft Office, thus allowing users to collaborate with other users who are using Microsoft Office on a Mac or a Windows PC.

hopTo was designed to address these issues. hopTo is a productivity workspace for mobile devices (currently for the Apple iPad) that aims to empower mobile users by offering them functionalities similar to what they’ve come to expect from their PCs. For example, hopTo aggregates files and documents from multiple storage silos (such as Dropbox, Box, or the user’s PC) into a single touch-friendly workspace. From within this workspace, users are able to view, edit, and share their documents.

hopTo provides powerful document editing capabilities that leverages legacy Windows applications such as Microsoft Office to provide users with a rich editing feature set, and with a high degree of compatibility with Microsoft Office to enable collaboration with users running Microsoft Office on Mac or Windows PCs. We believe that hopTo is unique in the sense that while it leverages legacy applications for document editing, it provides a “touch-friendly” user experience that, in our view, none of our competitors are able to achieve, and that mobile users will view as highly desirable.

In addition to the above, hopTo also provides users with a way to easily switch between multiple documents, which is a very common operation on PCs but is not generally available on the iPad.

The first commercially available version of hopTo was released on November 14, 2013 through Apple’s App Store. hopTo currently runs on Apple’s iPad family of devices, and we plan to make it available in the future for other devices, such as Apple’s iPhone and for devices based on Google’s Android platform.
 
Our Intellectual Property
 
We believe that intellectual property (IP) is a business tool that potentially maximizes our competitive advantages and product differentiation, grows revenue opportunities, encourages collaboration with key business partners, and protects our long-term growth opportunities.  Strategic IP development is therefore a critical component of our overall business strategy.  It is a business function that consistently interacts with our research and development, product development, and marketing initiatives to generate further value from those operations.
 
We rely primarily on trade secret protection, copyright law, confidentiality, and proprietary information agreements to protect our proprietary technology and registered trademarks.  Despite our precautions, it may be possible for unauthorized third parties to copy portions of our products, or to obtain information we regard as proprietary.  The loss of any material trade secret, trademark, trade name or copyright could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.  We intend to defend our proprietary technology rights; however, we cannot give any assurance that our efforts to protect our proprietary technology rights will be successful.

We do not believe our products infringe on the rights of any third parties, but we can give no assurance that third parties will not assert infringement claims against us in the future, or that any such assertion will not result in costly litigation or require us to obtain a license to proprietary technology rights of such parties.
 
ipCapital Group, Inc.
 
On October 11, 2011, we engaged ipCapital Group, Inc., an affiliate of John Cronin, who is one of our directors, to assist us in the execution of our strategic decision to significantly strengthen, grow and commercially exploit our intellectual property assets. Our engagement agreement with ipCapital, which has been amended three times, affords us the right to request ipCapital to perform a number of diverse services, employing its proprietary processes and methodologies, to facilitate our ability to identify and extract from our current intellectual property base new inventions, potential patent applications, and marketing and licensing opportunities.
 
As a result of ipCapital’s work under the engagement agreement, as amended, as of November 12, 2013, 150 new patent applications have been filed, of which 140 pertain to our hopTo technology and 10 pertain to our NES patent portfolio. We expect to file more applications throughout the remainder of 2013.

ipCapital Licensing Company I, LLC

On February 4, 2013, we entered into an IP Brokerage agreement with ipCapital Licensing Company I, LLC (“ipCLC”).  John Cronin is a partner at ipCLC.  Pursuant to the agreement, we have engaged ipCLC, on a no-retainer basis, to identify and present us with candidates who may be seeking to acquire a certain limited group of our patents unrelated to our current business strategy. If during the applicable term we enter into an agreement with any candidate presented by ipCLC to acquire or otherwise exploit the covered patents, we will pay ipCLC a fee of ten percent (10%) of the royalties, fees, and other consideration paid over the life of the agreement.

Our GO-Global Software Products
 
Our GO-Global product offerings, which currently are our only revenue source, can be categorized into product families as follows:
 
  ·
GO-Global for Windows: Allows access to Windows-based applications from remote locations and a variety of connections, including the Internet and dial-up connections. The Windows applications run on a central computer server along with GO-Global Windows Host software. This allows the applications to be accessed remotely via GO-Global Client software, or a Web browser, over many types of data connections, regardless of the bandwidth or operating system. Web-enabling is achieved without modifying the underlying application’s code or requiring costly add-ons.
 
  ·
GO-Global for UNIX: Allows access to UNIX and Linux-based applications from remote locations and a variety of connections, including the Internet and dial-up connections. The UNIX/Linux applications run on a central computer server along with the GO-Global for UNIX Host software. This allows the applications to be accessed and run remotely via GO-Global Client software or a Web browser without having to modify the application’s code or requiring costly add-ons.
 
  ·
GO-Global Client: We offer a range of GO-Global Client software that allows remote application access from a wide variety of local, remote and mobile platforms, including Windows, Linux, UNIX, Apple OS X and iOS, and Google Android. We plan to continue to develop GO-Global Client software for new portable and mobile devices. We released GO-Global Client products for the iPad and Android tablets in June 2011 and February 2012, respectively.

Critical Accounting Policies
 
We believe that several accounting policies are important to understanding our historical and future performance.  We refer to these policies as “critical” because these specific areas require us to make judgments and estimates about matters that are uncertain at the time we make the estimates. Actual results may differ from these estimates. For a summary of our critical accounting policies, please refer to our 2012 10-K/A Report and Note 2 to our Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Revenue
 
Our software revenue is currently entirely related to our GO-Global product line, and historically has been primarily derived from product licensing fees and service fees from maintenance contracts. The majority of this revenue has been earned, and continues to be earned, from a limited number of significant customers, most of whom are resellers. Many of our resellers (a “stocking reseller”) purchase software licenses that they hold in inventory until they are resold to the ultimate end user. We defer recognition of revenue from these sales (on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet under the caption “Deferred Revenue”) until the stocking reseller sells the underlying software licenses to the ultimate end user. Consequently, if any of our significant stocking resellers materially change the rate at which they resell our software licenses to the ultimate end user, our software licenses revenue could be materially impacted.
 
When a software license is sold directly to an end user by us, or by one of our resellers who does not stock licenses into inventory, revenue is recognized immediately upon shipment, assuming all other criteria for revenue recognition are met. Consequently, if any significant end user customer substantially changes its order level, or fails to order during the reporting period, whether the order is placed directly with us or through one of our non-stocking resellers, our software licenses revenue could be materially impacted.
 
Almost all stocking resellers maintain inventories of our Windows products; few stocking resellers maintain inventories of our UNIX products.

The decrease in Windows software licenses revenue for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2013, as compared with the same periods of the prior year, were primarily due to lower aggregate revenue derived from our stocking resellers.  Adding to the decrease was lower revenue recognized in 2013 associated with two maintenance transactions entered into with an end-user customer during 2012.  All revenue from both of these transactions had previously been deferred.  We recognized the revenue from each transaction, ratably, over each transaction’s respective maintenance period.  As the maintenance period for the first of these two transactions was expired prior to the three-month period ended September 30, 2013, we completed recognition of the revenue related thereto, and as a result we only recognized revenue from the second of these two transactions during the three month period ended September 30, 2013.  The decreases described above were partially offset by higher license sales to other end user customers.
 
Software licenses revenue from our UNIX/Linux products decreased during the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2013, as compared with the same periods of the prior year, primarily due to lower aggregate revenue from our resellers and end users, particularly our European telecommunications customers. During the three-month period ended September 30, 2013, we learned that one of our significant European telecommunications customers, Ericsson, would no longer be ordering product or future maintenance contracts from us as their technology no longer utilized our GO-Global product.
 
We expect aggregate software license revenue in 2013 to be lower than 2012 levels due to lower aggregate revenue from our stocking resellers and our European telecommunications customers. At the same time, we will seek to improve cash flow from the GO-Global business through cost control and other measures.
 
Software Service Fees
 
The increase in software service fees revenue attributable to our Windows products during the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2013, as compared to the same periods of the prior year, was the result of the continued growth of the number of Windows maintenance contracts purchased by our end-user customers on new license installations and the renewal of maintenance contracts on currently installed software licenses.
 
The decrease in service fees revenue attributable to our UNIX products for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2013, as compared with the same periods of the prior year, was primarily the result of the low level of our UNIX product sales throughout the current and prior year and a decrease in maintenance contract renewals. We believe that these decreases reflect the continued economic malaise and the competitive challenges facing the telecommunications industry, particularly in Europe. The majority of this decrease was attributable to our European telecommunications customers, including Ericsson, as discussed above.
We expect that software service fees for 2013 will modestly increase over those for 2012, as we expect to see continued strength in the sale and renewal of Windows maintenance contracts.
 
Other
 
The decrease in other revenue for the three and nine -month periods ended September 30, 2013, as compared with the same period of the prior year was primarily due to a decrease in private labeling fees. We typically recognize private labeling fees revenue only when such services are requested by a new stocking reseller; they sign a contract with us, simultaneously place their first stocking order and ultimately, when they sell through their entire first stocking order, we recognize the private labeling fees revenue. Private labeling fees do not comprise a material portion of our revenue streams, and they can vary from period to period.
 
Costs of Revenue
 
Software Costs of revenue are comprised primarily of software service costs, which represent the costs of customer service, and software product costs, which are primarily comprised of the amortization of capitalized software development costs, and costs associated with licenses for third party software included in our product offerings. We incur no shipping or packaging costs as all of our deliveries are made via electronic means over the Internet.
 
Under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”), development costs for new product development, after technological feasibility is established, are recorded as “capitalized software” on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. Such capitalized costs are subsequently amortized as cost of revenue (software product costs) over the shorter of three years or the remaining estimated life of the product. During the three-month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, we capitalized $79,100 and $0 of software development costs, respectively. During the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, we capitalized $543,600 and $0 of software development costs, respectively. All of such capitalized costs were incurred in the development of hopTo.
 
Amortization of capitalized software development costs was $24,000 and $41,500 during the three-month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.  Amortization of capitalized software development costs was $107,000 and $124,600 during the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
 
Software Cost of revenue was 6.5% and 9.3% of total revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.  Software cost of revenue was 7.7% and 8.8% of total revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Cost of revenue for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 was:

Software service costs decreased during both the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2013, as compared with the same periods of the prior year, primarily as a result of less time being spent on customer service issues.  We expect software service costs to remain lower during the remainder of 2013, as compared with the prior year.
 
Software service costs include non-cash stock-based compensation. Such costs were, in the aggregate, approximately $(500) and $6,700 for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively and $3,300 and $17,100 for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.  No new stock awards were issued to customer service personnel in either 2013 or 2012; thus, the decreases in both the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2013, as compared with the similar periods of the prior year, resulted from less stock-based compensation expense being recognized from the outstanding stock awards held by such employees.

Software product costs decreased in both the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2013 compared with the same periods in 2012 due to a decrease in costs associated with third party software we license into our products.
 
We expect that software costs of revenue for 2013 will be lower than 2012 levels, due to these items.
 
Selling and Marketing Expenses
 
Selling and marketing expenses primarily consist of employee costs (inclusive of non-cash stock-based compensation expense), outside services, and travel and entertainment expense.
 
Selling and marketing expenses for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2013 decreased by $81,200, or 13.5%, to $683,300, from $602,100 for the same period of 2012, which represented approximately 44.5% and 34.7% of revenue during these periods, respectively. Selling and marketing expenses for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2013 decreased by $37,900 or 2.1% to $1,743,500 from $1,781,400 for the same period in 2012, which represented approximately 38.4% and 36.2% of revenue during those periods, respectively.
 
The decrease in selling and marketing expenses during the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2013, as compared with the same periods of the prior year, was mainly due to lower commissions, bonuses, and marketing services costs partially offset by higher wages and employee severance costs.
 
Selling and marketing employee costs included non-cash stock-based compensation costs aggregating approximately $39,800 and $33,200 for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The same costs for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 were approximately $118,700 and $84,800, respectively. The increase in these costs resulted from stock awards issued in 2012.
 
We currently expect our full-year 2013 selling and marketing expenses related to GO-Global to decrease compared to 2012 levels as we have enacted certain cost cutting measures aimed at generating greater operational efficiencies, and anticipate continuing to do so throughout the remainder of the year. As we focus greater resources on our hopTo product, we expect 2014 selling and marketing expenses for hopTo to increse compared to 2013 levels.
 
General and Administrative Expenses
 
General and administrative expenses primarily consist of employee costs (inclusive of non-cash stock-based compensation expense), depreciation and amortization, legal, accounting, other professional services (including those related to realizing benefits from our patents), rent, travel and entertainment and insurance. Certain costs associated with being a publicly held corporation are also included in general and administrative expenses, as well as bad debts expense.
 
General and administrative expenses increased by $237,400, or 35.0%, to $914,900, for the three-month period ended September 30, 2013, from $677,500 for the same period of 2012, which represented approximately 59.6% and 39.1% of revenue during these periods, respectively.
 
General and administrative expenses decreased by $720,700, or 22.8%, to $2,441,600 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2013, from $3,162,300 for the same period of 2012, which represented approximately 53.7% and 64.3% of revenue during these periods, respectively.
 
The increase in general and administrative expense in the three-month period ended September 30, 2013, as compared with the same period of the prior year, was primarily due to an increase in employee costs, costs associated with consultants, including compensation expense derived from warrants issued to such consultants, and increased costs associated with our patent portfolio.
 
The decrease in general and administrative expense for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2013, as compared with the same period of the prior year, was primarily due to the cost of the severance agreement with our former chief executive officer and chairman, which, as described in Note 5, resulted in a one-time charge of $721,800 that was recognized in the three-month period ended June 30, 2012.
Included in general and administrative employee costs was non-cash stock-based compensation expense aggregating $76,300 and $71,000 for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.  Non-cash stock-based compensation expense included in general and administrative costs aggregated $255,800 and $404,700 for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.  The decrease in these costs resulted from such expense associated with the separation agreement with our former chief executive officer and chairman in 2012 which was partially offset by the expenses associated with stock awards issued in 2012.
 
We expect that general and administrative expense for 2013 will be lower than 2012 levels, primarily as a result of the one-time costs incurred in connection with the separation agreement we entered into during April 2012 with our former chief executive officer and chairman and the legal fees incurred related thereto, and the stock-based compensation expense associated with the restricted stock awards granted during 2012.  We also expect to have fewer employees in our patent group.  See Note 5 of Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information regarding the separation agreement.
 
Research and Development Expenses
 
Research and development expenses consist primarily of employee costs (inclusive of non-cash stock-based compensation expense), payments to contract programmers, travel and entertainment for all our engineers, and all rent for our leased engineering facilities.
 
Research and development expenses increased by $495,900, or 52.3%, to $1,444,500, for the three-month period ended September 30, 2013, from $948,600 for the same period of 2012, which represented approximately 94.1% and 54.7% of revenue for these periods, respectively.
 
The increase in research and development expense for the three-month period ended September 30, 2013, as compared with the same periods of the prior year, was primarily due to higher staffing levels and recruitment fees for the new product development team in Campbell, California, and higher outside services costs.
 
Research and development expenses increased by $566,800 or 19.1%, to $3,533,300, for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2013, from $2,966,500 for the same period of 2012, which represented approximately 77.7% and 60.3% of revenue for these periods, respectively.
 
The increase in research and development expense for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2013, as compared with the same period of the prior year, was primarily due to higher staffing levels and recruitment fees for the new product development team in Campbell, California and higher outside services costs.  These costs were partially offset by the capitalization of software development costs relating to hopTo, and having fewer employees in the Concord, New Hampshire engineering office as a result of terminations that occurred in the prior year.
 
Included in research and development employee costs was non-cash stock-based compensation expense totaling $74,400 and $82,600 for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Non-cash stock-based compensation expense was $202,700 and $252,400 for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The decrease in non-cash stock-based compensation costs for the three-month period ended September 30, 2013, as compared with the same period of the prior year was due to a decrease in the number of shares awarded to research and development employees in 2013, as compared with 2012. The decrease in stock-based compensation expense for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2013, as compared with the same period of 2012 was primarily the result of the capitalization of $36,700 of stock-based compensation costs, attributable to the development of hopTo, as well as a decrease in the number of shares awarded during 2013, as compared with 2012.
 
During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2013, we capitalized $659,600 of software development costs associated with the development of hopTo, which, had they not met the criteria for capitalization, would have otherwise been expensed.  Such costs were inclusive of the $36,700 of stock-based compensation costs referred to in the preceding paragraph.  No such development costs were capitalized during the corresponding period of the prior year.
We expect 2013 research and development expenses to be significantly higher than those for 2012.  The main driver of the increased costs will be the costs associated with our new products development team, which will be primarily comprised of employee costs, recruitment fees, rent, equipment and supplies for the team.
Other Income (Expense) - Change in Fair Value of Warrants Liability
 
During the three-month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, we reported non-cash expense related to the change in fair value of our Warrants Liability of $639,100 and $3,025,700, respectively. During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2013, we reported non-cash income related to the change in fair value of our Warrants Liability of $680,100, and non-cash expense of $2,417,800 for the same period of the prior year. Such changes in 2013 resulted from price changes in the market value for our common stock as well as having a lower number of outstanding warrants as a result of warrant exercises.  For further information regarding our Warrants Liability, see Note 4 to the Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
 
Loss From Operations
 
We reported losses from operations of $1,608,500 and $654,800 for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.  We reported losses from operations of $3,522,500 and $3,426,200 for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Loss from Discontinued Operations
 
During September 2012, we reached settlement and licensing agreements that effectively ended all of our then on-going intellectual property litigation.  Having been approached by the respective counter-parties to each of our lawsuits, and in consultation with our board of directors, we determined that it was in our best long-term strategic interests to settle each lawsuit in order to move forward and shift our focus to our software products, including our new product initiatives.  We do not intend to pursue intellectual property litigation as an integral part of our strategy to fund our future operations.  Accordingly for all periods presented the results of operations and cash flows related to our former intellectual property segment has been segregated and reported as “Discontinued Operations”.  See Note 17 to our Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
 
As a result of this decision, we reported losses from discontinued operations of $0 and $347,100 for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively and losses of $0 and $468,400 for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
During 2013, we expect to continue to prioritize the investment of our resources into the development of various new products, with our primary focus being on hopTo.  We believe that we will continue to experience weakness in our legacy GO-Global business from our European telecommunications customers, as we increase investments in hopTo and our intellectual property strategy, and we experience reduced demand in our GO-Global business, we expect our cash flow from operations and overall cash resources to decrease.  In order to fully execute on our business strategy for hopTo we will require additional capital resources, which may include debt or equity issuances.
 
Based on our cash on hand as of September 30, 2013, and anticipated cash derived from our legacy GO-Global business, we believe that we will have sufficient resources to support our operational plans for the next twelve months, however; as noted, full implementation of our business plans for the next twelve months would require capital from issuances of debt or equity, or new revenue from our recently launched hopTo product.
 
There can be no assurance of new revenue from new product lines or additional capital from debt or equity issuances.  In addition, issuances of new capital stock would dilute existing stockholder and may give the purchasers of new capital stock additional rights, preferences and privileges relative to existing stockholders.  There can be no assurance that additional capital necessary for full execution of our hopTo business strategy will be available on a timely basis, on reasonable terms or at all.

During the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, our reported net losses of $2,850,200 and $6,309,900 respectively, included three significant non-cash items: depreciation and amortization of $187,700 and $191,700, respectively, which were primarily related to amortization of capitalized software development costs and depreciation of fixed assets, stock-based compensation expense of $580,500 and $759,000, respectively, and $(680,100) and $2,417,800, respectively, related to the change in fair value recorded for the Warrants Liability.
 
During the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, we incurred operating cash outflows of $0 and $432,800, respectively in our former intellectual property segment, whose operations we discontinued in 2012.  (See Note 17 to Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements).
 
We expect to continue making investments in our products during the remainder of 2013, with a focus on new product development, primarily within the planned hopTo product line.  During the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, we invested approximately $75,800 and $269,800 of cash, respectively, into fixed assets.  Such expenditures made during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2012 were primarily incurred in connection with the opening of our office in Campbell, California and equipping our new products development team located therein.
 
During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2013, we invested approximately $506,900 of cash into capitalized software development costs. Such expenditures were made in the development of our hopTo product. No investments into capitalized software development costs were made during the same period of the prior year.
 
During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2013, 10,222,500 warrants and 1,459,972 employee options were exercised, which provided cash flows from financing activities of $2,615,300 and $302,700, respectively.  During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2012, 567,176 employee options were exercised, which provided cash flows from financing activities of $44,400. No warrants were exercised during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2012.

Cash
 
As of September 30, 2013, our cash balance was $3,557,100, as compared with $3,960,600 as of December 31, 2012, a decrease of $403,500, or 10.2%. The decrease primarily resulted from the cash consummed by our operations, as well as the investments we made in fixed assets, capitalized software development costs, and increased employee costs, primarily associated with our new products development team. Such costs were partially offset by the cash we raised in the amendment to our warrants transaction and the cash received from the exercise of warrants and employee stock options.
 
Accounts Receivable, net
 
At September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, we reported accounts receivable, net, of $700,400 and $865,900, respectively. Such amounts were reported net of the allowance for doubtful accounts, which allowances totaled $29,600 and $33,900 at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.  The decrease in accounts receivable, net, was mainly due to lower sales during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2013, and the timing of sales during the three-month period ended September 30, 2013.  We collect the significant majority of our quarter-end accounts receivable during the subsequent quarter; accordingly, increases or decreases in accounts receivable from one period to the next tends to be indicative of the trend in our sales from one period to the next. From time to time, we could have individually significant accounts receivable balances due us from one or more of our significant customers. If the financial condition of any of these significant customers should deteriorate, our operating results could be materially affected.
 
Stock Repurchase Program
 
As of September 30, 2013, we had purchased 1,424,000 shares of our common stock for $217,400 under terms of our Board-approved stock repurchase program, which was established on January 8, 2008. Under this program, the Board approved up to $1,000,000 to be used in repurchasing our stock; however, we are not obligated to repurchase any specific number of shares and the program may be suspended or terminated at our discretion. During each of the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, no repurchases were made. As of September 30, 2013, $782,600 remains available for stock purchases under this program.
 
Working Capital
 
As of September 30, 2013, we had current assets of $4,319,900 and current liabilities of $3,777,500, which netted to working capital of $542,400. Included in current liabilities was the current portion of deferred revenue of $2,638,200.

Not applicable.
 
ITEM 4. Controls and Procedures
 
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Vice President of Finance, we evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) as of the end of the period covered by this report.  Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Vice President of Finance concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2013.
 
There has not been any change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended September 30, 2013 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting, except that we reduced the number of employees in our finance department by two. We have retained the services of an independent consultant to assist us with a polciy and procedural review to help ensure we maintain adequate controls as a result of such workforce reduction.

ITEM 1A. Risk Factors
 
There have been no material changes in our risk factors from those set forth under Item 1A, “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2012, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 12, 2013.
 
ITEM 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
 
On January 8, 2008, our Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase program to repurchase up to $1,000,000 of our outstanding common stock. Under terms of the program, we are not obligated to repurchase any specific number of shares and the program may be suspended or terminated at management’s discretion. No shares were repurchased under the stock repurchase program during the three-month period ended September 30, 2013.
 
On June 17, 2013, we entered into, and subsequently consummated, an Exercise Agreement (the "Exercise Agreement") with five of the largest investors in our September 1, 2011 private placement of common stock and warrants (the "2011 Transaction"), providing for the exercise for cash by such investors of warrants to purchase an aggregate 9 million shares of our common stock, out of the approximately 17 million shares of common stock subject to warrants issued to the investors in the 2011 Transaction that remained outstanding as of such date.   We received cash proceeds of $2.34 million as a result of the warrants exercised. In consideration for the early exercise of these warrants, we issued to the five investors an aggregate of 4.5 million warrants to purchase common stock at an exercise price of $1.00 per warrant, with a term of five years from issuance (the "New Warrants").   Each of the warrant holders represented to us that there were "accredited investors."  The issuance of such common stock upon exercise and the issuance of the New Warrants was not registered under the Securities Act of 1933 because such securities were offered and sold in transactions not involving a public offering, exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, pursuant to Section 4(2) and in compliance with Rule 506 thereunder.
 
On August 9, 2013, we consummated an offer to exercise warrants (the “Offer to Exercise”) made to holders of warrants in the 2011 Transaction who were not parties to the Exercise Agreement.  We were obligated to conduct the Offer to Exercise under the terms of the Exercise Agreement entered into in connection with the June 17, 2013 transaction.  In connection with the Offer to Exercise, warrants to purchase an aggregate of 305,000 shares of our common stock were exercised for which we received cash proceeds of $64,000.  In consideration for the early exercise of these warrants, we issued an aggregate of 152,500 New Warrants at an exercise price of $1.00 per warrant, with a term of five years from issuance.   Each of the warrant holders represented to us that there were “accredited investors.”  The issuance of such common stock upon exercise and the issuance of the New Warrants was not registered under the Securities Act of 1933 because such securities were offered and sold in transactions not involving a public offering, exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, pursuant to Section 4(2) and in compliance with Rule 506 thereunder.
 
Effective September 18, 2013, we entered into a consulting agreement with Genesis Select to provide us with a variety of investor relations services. As part of their compensation, we issued to them a warrant to purchase 312,500 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.50 per share. The issuance of such warrants and common stock upon exercise and the issuance of such warrants was not registered under the Securities Act of 1933 because such securities were offered and sold in transactions not involving a public offering, exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, pursuant to Section 4(2) and/or in compliance with Rule 506 thereunder.
