The Reverse Stock Split became effective in the stock market upon commencement of trading on January 28, 2016. As a result of the Reverse Stock Split, every fifteen shares of our pre-Reverse Stock Split common stock were combined and reclassified into one share of our common stock. No fractional shares were issued in connection with the Reverse Stock Split, and cash paid to stockholders for potential fractional shares was insignificant. The number of shares of common stock subject to outstanding options, restricted stock units, warrants and convertible securities were also reduced by a factor of fifteen as of January 27, 2016. All historical share and per share amounts reflected throughout this report have been adjusted to reflect the Reverse Stock Split. The authorized number of shares and the par value per share of our common stock were not affected by the Reverse Stock Split.

1. Basis of Presentation

The Company. 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. Our headquarters are in Campbell, CA.

hopTo Inc., and its subsidiaries are developers of application publishing software which includes application virtualization software and cloud computing software for multiple computer operating systems including Windows, UNIX and several Linux-based variants.

The Company sells a family of products under the brand name GO-Global, which is a software application publishing business and is the Company’s 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.

Since 2012 we have also been developing several products in the field of software productivity for mobile devices such as tablets and smartphones, which have been marketed under the hopTo brand. The hopTo products were originally marketed to consumers and were later also marketed to small and medium sized businesses and enterprise level customers under the name hopTo Work. hopTo Work allows customers to instantly transform their legacy applications to become touch friendly on modern mobile devices. During 2015 and 2016, we also worked to integrate hopTo Work with certain software products offered by Citrix Systems.
