Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

1. Basis of Presentation

The interim unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes thereto have been prepared pursuant to generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America, or GAAP, and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, certain information and note disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. The accompanying interim unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014 (“2014 Annual Report”).

Onvia had a wholly-owned subsidiary in Canada that was dissolved effective December 19, 2014; and there was no business activity in this subsidiary during the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2014. The wholly-owned subsidiary owned no assets or liabilities as of the date of dissolution.

The information furnished is unaudited, but reflects, in the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring items, necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods presented. In addition, certain reclassifications of prior period balances have been made to conform to the current period presentation.

Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the Company’s management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the 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. Significant estimates include the fair value of stock-based compensation, allowance for doubtful accounts, capitalization of costs for internally developed software, recoverability of long-lived assets, including internally developed software, and the valuation allowance for Onvia’s net deferred tax assets. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ significantly from the Company’s estimates. In addition, any significant unanticipated changes in any of the Company’s assumptions could have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued guidance on the recognition of revenue from contracts with customers. Revenue recognition will depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The guidance also requires disclosures regarding the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. The guidance permits two methods of adoption: retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented, or retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initially applying the guidance recognized at the date of initial application. The guidance was originally effective January 1, 2017 and early adoption was not permitted. In July 2015, the FASB approved a one-year deferral of the effective date to January 1, 2018, with an option of applying the standard on the original effective date. The company is currently evaluating the impact of the new guidance, the effective date and the method of adoption.

2. Stock-Based Compensation

The impact to Onvia’s interim unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for recording stock-based compensation was as follows for the periods presented (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2015		2014		2015		2014
Cost of sales	$	-	$	1	$	-	$	4
Sales and marketing		6		5		3		-
Technology and development		3		5		11		16
General and administrative		25		35		64		110
Total stock-based compensation	$	34	$	46	$	78	$	130

3. Earnings per Share

Basic income/(loss) per share is calculated by dividing the net loss for the period by the weighted average shares of common stock outstanding for the period. Diluted income/(loss) per share is calculated by dividing the net income/(loss) per share by the weighted average common stock outstanding for the period, plus dilutive potential common shares using the treasury stock method. In periods with a net loss, basic and diluted earnings per share are identical because inclusion of potentially dilutive common shares would be anti-dilutive.

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net income/(loss) per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 (in thousands, except per share data):

	Three Months Ended September 30,					Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2015		2014			2015			2014
Net income/(loss)	$	9	$	(42	)	$	(388	)	$	(248	)
Shares used to compute basic net income/(loss) per share		7,449		7,396			7,421			7,381
Dilutive potential common shares:
Stock options		112		-			-			-
Shares used to compute diluted net income/(loss) per share		7,561		7,396			7,421			7,381
Basic and diluted net income/(loss) per share	$	0.00	$	(0.01	)	$	(0.05	)	$	(0.03	)

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, the weighted average effect of stock options to purchase approximately 314,000 and 853,000 shares of common stock, respectively, were excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share because the exercise price is greater than the average market price of common stock for the respective period.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, the weighted average effect of stock options to purchase approximately 1,076,000 and 1,095,000 shares of common stock, respectively, were excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share because the exercise price is greater than the average market price of common stock for the respective period.

4. Investments

Onvia classifies investments in debt securities as available-for-sale, stated at fair value as summarized in the following table (in thousands):

	September 30, 2015
	Amortized Cost		Gross Unrealized Gains		Gross Unrealized Losses		Fair Value
U.S. Government backed securities	$	1,228	$	-	$	-	$	1,228
Certificates of Deposit  (1)		4,911		1		-		4,912
Total Investments	$	6,139	$	1	$	-	$	6,140
Long-Term Investments
Certificates of Deposit  (1)		249		-		-		249
Total Long-Term Investments		249		-		-		249
Total Investments	$	6,388	$	1	$	-	$	6,389

	December 31, 2014
	Amortized Cost		Gross Unrealized Gains		Gross Unrealized Losses			Fair Value
U.S. Government backed securities	$	158	$	-	$	-		$	158
Certificates of Deposit  (1)		6,279		-		(1	)		6,278
Total Investments	$	6,437	$	-	$	(1	)	$	6,436

⁽¹⁾ The Company evaluated certificates of deposits held as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 and concluded that they meet the definition of securities as available for sale.

Onvia accounts for investments held as available for sale according to their fair values, which is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset, or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price), in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The Company utilizes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The following are the three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 — Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices 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 — Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

Onvia uses the market approach to measure fair value for its financial assets and liabilities. The market approach uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities.

The following table summarizes, by major security type, investments classified as available-for-sale at September 30, 2015 and at December 31, 2014, stated at fair value (in thousands):

	Fair Value Measurements as of September 30, 2015
	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total
U.S. Government backed securities	$	-	$	1,228	$	-	$	1,228
Certificates of Deposit		-		5,161		-		5,161
Total Investments	$	-	$	6,389	$	-	$	6,389

	Fair Value Measurements as of December 31, 2014
	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total
U.S. Government backed securities	$	-	$	158	$	-	$	158
Certificates of Deposit		-		6,278		-		6,278
Total Investments	$	-	$	6,436	$	-	$	6,436

There were no transfers in or out of Level 2 investments during the first nine months of 2015 and fourth quarter of 2014, and there was no activity in Level 1 or Level 3 fair value measurements during those periods.

5. Prepaid Expenses and Other Current Assets

Prepaid expenses and other current assets consist of the following (in thousands):

	September 30, 2015		December 31, 2014
Prepaid insurance	$	153	$	110
Prepaid software licences and maintenance		314		440
Prepaid expenses - other		203		123
Interest receivable		13		4
Other receivables		22		5
Total prepaid expenses and other current assets	$	705	$	682

6. Property and Equipment

Property and equipment, net of accumulated depreciation, consist of the following (in thousands):

	September 30, 2015			December 31, 2014
Computer equipment	$	3,869		$	3,676
Software		1,855			1,855
Furniture and fixtures		112			109
Leasehold improvements		883			883
Total cost basis		6,719			6,523
Less accumulated depreciation		(5,577	)		(5,165	)
Net book value	$	1,142		$	1,358

Depreciation expense was $156,000 and $473,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, respectively, compared to $176,000 and $538,000, respectively, for the same periods of 2014.

7. Internal Use Software

Onvia capitalizes qualifying computer software costs incurred during the “application development stage” and other costs. Amortization of these costs begins once the product is ready for its intended use. These costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the product, typically 3 to 5 years. The amount of costs capitalized within any period is dependent on the nature of software development activities and projects in each period.

Onvia periodically evaluates the remaining useful lives and carrying values of internal use software. If management determines that all or a portion of the asset will no longer be used, or the estimated remaining useful life differs from existing estimates, an abandonment will be recorded to reduce the carrying value or adjust the remaining useful life to reflect revised estimates. In addition, if the carrying value of the software exceeds the estimated future cash flows, an impairment will be recorded to reduce the carrying value to the expected realizable value. No impairment has been recorded for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014.

The following table presents a roll-forward of capitalized internal use software for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 (in thousands):

	Balance at December 31, 2014			Additions			Balance at September 30, 2015
Capitalized internal use software	$	17,107		$	1,390		$	18,497
Accumulated amortization		(12,048	)		(1,292	)		(13,340	)
Internal use software, net	$	5,059		$	98		$	5,157

Amortization expense was $388,000 and $1.3 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, respectively, compared to $609,000 and $1.9 million, respectively, for the same periods of 2014. Amortization expense is included in operating expenses in the interim unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

8. Accrued Expenses and Other Current Liabilities

Accrued expenses consist of the following (in thousands):

	September 30, 2015		December 31, 2014

Operating Leases

Onvia has a lease agreement for its corporate offices located in Seattle, Washington that expires on April 30, 2021.  Rent expense is being recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.

Onvia also has a non-cancellable operating lease for office equipment, which expires in July 2019.

As of September 30, 2015, remaining future minimum lease payments required on non-cancellable operating leases are as follows for the years ending December 31 (in thousands):

	Real Estate Operating Leases		Office Equipment Operating Lease		Total Operating Leases
2015	$	207	$	5	$	212
2016		780		20		800
2017		873		20		893

2020 and thereafter		1,261		-		1,261
Total	$	4,935	$	74	$	5,009

Purchase Obligations

Onvia has non-cancellable purchase obligations for software development and license agreements, co-location hosting arrangements, telecom agreements, marketing agreements and third-party content agreements. The agreements expire in dates ranging from April 2015 to June 2017. Future required payments under these non-cancellable agreements are as follows for the years ending December 31 (in thousands):

	Purchase Obligations
2015	$	395
2016		779
2017		234
Total	$	1,408

Legal Proceedings

From time to time, legal proceedings may arise in the ordinary course of business. Although the outcomes of legal proceedings are inherently difficult to predict, the Company is not currently involved in any legal proceeding in which the outcome, in its judgment based on information currently available, is likely to have a material adverse effect on its business or financial position.

10. Provision for Income Taxes

As of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, Onvia has recorded a valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets because the Company has determined it is not more likely than not that the asset will be realized. Onvia will continue to evaluate the likelihood that these tax benefits may be realized, and may reverse all or a portion of its valuation allowance in the future if it is determined that realization of these benefits is more likely than not.

9

Pursuant to Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), utilization of net operating loss (NOL) carryforwards to offset future taxable income are subject to substantial annual limitations if we experience a cumulative change in ownership as defined by the Code. In general, an ownership change, as defined by the Code, results from transactions increasing the ownership of certain stockholders or public groups in the stock of a corporation by more than 50 percentage points over a three-year period.

As of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, Onvia’s Federal NOL carryforwards for income tax purposes were approximately $76.0 million.  The Federal NOL carryforwards are subject to limitations under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code. If not utilized, the Federal NOL carryforwards will begin to expire in 2022.  The latest date available for a portion of the Federal NOL carryforwards to be utilized to offset future income is 2033.

11. Security Deposits

Pursuant to Onvia’s lease for its current corporate office space, Onvia has established a stand by letter of credit as security to the lease increasing from $100,000 in April 2013, to $125,000 in January 2014 and to $150,000 on January 2015.  The letter of credit will be returned at lease termination in April 2021, or earlier as discussed above, subject to standard office lease conditions. As of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the stand by letter of credit is secured by a security deposit of $150,000 and reported as other long-term assets on the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The following factors, among others, could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements: Onvia fails to increase and retain contract value of customers using the “target market” strategy; Onvia fails to execute properly on new products, or customers fail to adopt these products or services; Onvia’s investment in technology and new content fails to improve sales penetration and client retention rates; and changes made to Onvia’s technology infrastructure fails to handle the increased demands caused by increasing network traffic and the volume of aggregated data.

Additional information on factors that may impact these forward-looking statements can be found under “Risk Factors,” “Business,” “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” as applicable, in this report, in our 2014 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014.  Onvia assumes no obligation to update forward-looking statements as a result of new information or future events or developments, except as may be required by law.  The following discussion should also be read in conjunction with the interim unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying Notes thereto.

In this Report, the words “we,” “our,” “us,” “Onvia,” or the “Company” refer to Onvia, Inc. and its wholly- owned subsidiary.

Company Overview

Onvia is a leading provider of business information and research solutions that help companies plan, market and sell to government agencies throughout the United States (or U.S.). Onvia’s business solutions provide clients online access to proprietary information about government procurement activity across local, state, and federal government agencies. The business intelligence derived from our solutions allows clients to identify and research new market opportunities, analyze market trends, and obtain valuable insights about their competitors and channel partners. We believe our business solutions provide clients with a distinct competitive advantage, increased revenue opportunities, and strategic insight into the public sector market.

Onvia’s target client prospects operate regionally or nationally, have a long-term strategic interest in the public sector and focus primarily on the decentralized State, Local and Education (SLED) market. We believe this model will produce higher margins, providing the flexibility to price products based upon the value that we create for clients, not based upon the cost of fulfillment.

In 2011, we began executing a business transformation plan intended to leverage the Company’s investment in a rich public sector procurement database. Over the last four years we have repositioned Onvia’s value proposition from an aggregator of public procurement documents to a provider of comprehensive public sector business. We believe the business is now positioned for continuing growth in subscription revenue and Adjusted EBITDA (see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” below for more information regarding Adjusted EBITDA).

11

The Onvia solution includes access to the Onvia Database, Spending Forecast Center, Term Contract Center, Vendor Center, Purchase Order Analytics and the Onvia Guide. These services are sometimes bundled with management information reports in multiple element arrangements. We allocate revenue from these bundled sales ratably between the subscription services and the management reports based on established list prices for those offerings. Subscriptions to the Onvia Database are typically prepaid, have a minimum term of one year and revenues are recognized ratably over the term of the subscription. Subscriptions are generally priced based upon the geographic range, nature of content purchased, and the number of users accessing the database.

Most of Onvia’s revenues are generated from sales to companies that leverage our information for their own internal use, and to businesses that license our content for redistribution. Revenue from businesses which license our content for resale is classified as Content License revenue. Content license contracts are generally multi-year arrangements and typically have higher annual contract values than our subscription-based services. Revenue from content license agreements is recognized over the term of the agreement.

Onvia was incorporated in January 2000 in the state of Delaware. Our principal corporate office is located in Seattle, Washington. Our securities trade on The NASDAQ Capital Market under the symbol ONVI.

Strategic Initiatives

In 2015, we are executing three initiatives intended to build on the results achieved in 2014 and further accelerate growth in subscription revenue and Adjusted EBITDA.

· Our first 2015 initiative is to further accelerate year over year bookings growth. This growth is planned in three key areas: sales to new customers, contract enhancements with existing customers and improved retention of our existing customers. The measure of success for this initiative includes the overall growth in new client bookings, growth in Annual Contract Value (ACV) and improvement in dollar retention. For a discussion of these and other key operating metrics refer to the Executive Summary of Operations and Financial Position below.

· Our second 2015 initiative is to enhance the existing Onvia platform and provide improved content which further aligns to customer needs. This initiative includes the continued transition of our target market clients to the Onvia 7 search platform. The Onvia 7 platform is intended to deliver more actionable opportunities to clients than the current limitations of literal keyword searching. Keyword searches against a broad, unstructured dataset can often miss opportunities or return too much irrelevant information depending on the keywords selected. The Onvia 7 platform identifies the essence of a project or opportunity using concepts instead of keywords, leveraging our proprietary dictionary of terms, technology and business rules. Onvia 7 should become a significant competitive advantage for our clients.

During 2015, we continue to build proprietary ontologies for each of our target markets served. As of September 30, 2015, we have completed ontologies for two of our three major verticals, Information Technology and Business Services. Once an ontology is complete for a market sector, we begin the process of migrating clients to the new Onvia 7 search paradigm. We expect to migrate the majority of clients in our target markets to Onvia 7 by the end of 2015. Some of our larger clients that operate in more than one market will likely be migrated in 2016 since all of the ontologies will need to be completed before these larger clients can be migrated.

· Our third and final 2015 initiative is to improve the existing information technology infrastructure as a means to reduce complexity, accelerate product development and reduce costs long-term. We continue to focus this initiative on three major areas. The first focus is moving to an open source search technology which will increase our capacity for search and improve search speed. Work on this project is substantially complete and we are preparing to roll this out in the first quarter of 2016. Secondly, we will be changing database structures to allow for faster more agile product enhancements in the future.  The technology of choice has been identified and the initial phase of this project has begun. Finally, we are addressing areas where data capture can be further automated to allow for cost effective scaling of data aggregation.  We do not anticipate annual capital expenditures to increase over historical levels as a result of these technology improvements.

Executive Summary of Operations and Financial Position

Our primary clients are businesses that are strategically focused on selling their goods and services into the public sector. As discussed above, we sell into this target market through two sales channels: businesses that leverage our information for their own internal use and businesses that license our content for redistribution (i.e. content license).

We manage the business using the following key client metrics:

Annual Contract Value, or ACV

ACV represents the annualized aggregate revenue value of all subscription contracts as of the end of the quarter. ACV is driven by Annual Contract Value per Client (ACVC) and the number of clients. Most of Onvia’s revenues are generated from subscription contracts. The contract value of multi-year content distribution partnerships, stand-alone management reports, document download services and list rental services are not included in the calculation of ACV.

ACV increased by 5% to $22.1 million in the third quarter of 2015 from $21.1 million for the same period one year ago. The continued growth in ACV indicates that new client acquisitions, contract expansions and improving client retention rates have more than offset the impact of client attrition compared to the previous 12 months. The growth rate in ACV can fluctuate from year to year based on the timing and amount of ACV available for renewal in addition to the mix of tenured and first year clients expiring in each period, as tenured clients tend to renew at a higher rate than first year clients.

Dollar Retention

Since the first quarter of 2014 we have reported dollar retention, which measures the dollars renewed on the available base of expiring contracts over the preceding twelve months. Dollar retention is calculated on a percentage basis by dividing the contract value of subscription contracts renewed, including the value of contract upgrades, during the most recent twelve-month period by the total value of subscription contracts expiring over the same period. Dollar retention measures the percentage of dollars retained from the population of expiring contracts over a twelve month period.

In the twelve months ended September 30, 2015, dollar retention was flat at 88% compared to the twelve months ended September 30, 2014. Dollar retention can fluctuate from period to period due to the mix of first year and tenured clients expiring in each period. Dollar retention, in conjunction with ACV, provides insight in to our subscription retention rate and ability to generate future subscription revenue.

Number of Clients

Number of clients represents the number of individual businesses subscribing to our products.

At the end of the third quarter, our total client base decreased 7% to 3,100 clients compared to 3,350 clients in the same year-ago period and decreased 3% compared to the second quarter of 2015. Our strategy is to continue to improve profitability by acquiring and managing fewer, but more strategic clients at higher ACVC. We continue to believe that ACV is a better measure of sales effectiveness than the number of clients.

Annual Contract Value per Client, or ACVC

Annual contract value per client is the ACV divided by the number of clients and indicates the average value of each of our subscriptions.

ACVC increased 13% to $7,116 in the third quarter of 2015 compared to $6,286 in the third quarter of 2014. Growth in ACVC demonstrates success in executing our initiative to acquire and retain clients with strategic interest in the public sector at a regional or national level. Companies within this target market typically have higher ACVC and renew at higher rates, which are key attributes of a profitable long-term client.

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA is not a financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and should not be considered as an alternative to net income, operating income or any other financial measures so calculated and presented, nor as an alternative to cash flow from operating activities as a measure of the company’s liquidity. Onvia defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income/(loss) before interest expense and other non-cash financing costs; taxes; depreciation; amortization; and non-cash stock-based compensation. Other companies (including Onvia’s competitors) may define Adjusted EBITDA differently. Onvia presents Adjusted EBITDA because it believes Adjusted EBITDA to be an important supplemental measure of performance that is commonly used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of companies in similar industries and size. Management also uses this information internally for forecasting and budgeting. It may not be indicative of the historical operating results of Onvia nor is it intended to be predictive of potential future results. Investors should not consider Adjusted EBITDA in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of results as reported under GAAP.

The following table provides a reconciliation of GAAP net income/(loss) to Adjusted EBITDA for the periods indicated (in thousands of dollars):

	Three Months Ended						Nine Months Ended
	September 30,			September 30,			September 30,			September 30,
	2015			2014			2015			2014
GAAP net income/(loss)	$	9		$	(42	)	$	(388	)	$	(248	)
Reconciling items from GAAP to adjusted EBITDA
Interest and other income, net		(6	)		(2	)		(30	)		(7	)
Depreciation and amortization		544			785			1,766			2,404
Amortization of stock-based compensation		34			46			78			130
Adjusted EBITDA	$	581		$	787		$	1,426		$	2,279

Adjusted EBITDA for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 includes $130,000 and $461,000 in employee separations costs, respectively. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 includes $299,000 in non-recurring legal and consulting fees.

Seasonality

Our client acquisition business is subject to some seasonal fluctuations. The second and third quarters are generally slower than the first and fourth quarters for client acquisition. Infrastructure is our single largest market and these prospects are typically engaged on projects during the spring and summer months, not prospecting for new work, which causes new client acquisition to decline compared to the first and fourth quarters in the year. For this reason, comparisons of the performance of our business quarter to consecutive quarter may not provide the most relevant information, and so in addition to sequential quarter comparisons, our quarterly results and metrics should be considered on the basis of results for the whole year or by comparing results in a quarter with the results in the same quarter of the previous year.

Results of Operations for the Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2015 Compared to the Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2014

Revenue and Cost of Revenue

The following table provides a breakdown of revenue for the periods presented as a percentage of total revenue:

	Three months ended September 30,						Nine months ended September 30,
	2015			2014			2015			2014
Revenue	$	5,887		$	5,700		$	17,626		$	16,883
Revenue:
Subscription		92	%		90	%		91	%		90	%
Content license		7	%		8	%		7	%		8	%
Management information reports		0	%		1	%		1	%		1	%
Other		1	%		1	%		1	%		1	%
Total revenue		100	%		100	%		100	%		100	%

Subscription revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 grew 6% each period to $5.4 million and $16.0 million, respectively, over the same periods in 2014. The growth in subscription revenue reflects a sustained growth in ACV over the past year. Growth in ACV indicates that new client acquisitions, contract expansions and improving client retention rates have more than offset the impact of client attrition.

Total revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 was $5.9 million and $17.6 million, up by 3% and 4%, respectively, compared to the same periods last year. In addition to subscription revenue, total revenue includes content license and report revenue.

Cost of revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 was as follows (in thousands of dollars):

							Increase / (Decrease)
	2014			2013			Amount			Percent
Three months ended September 30,	$	783		$	801		$	(18	)		(2	%)
Percentage of Revenue		13	%		14	%
Nine months ended September 30,		2,414			2,475			(61	)		(2	%)
Percentage of Revenue		14	%		15	%

Our cost of revenue primarily represents payroll-related expenses associated with the research and aggregation of the data in our proprietary database and third-party content fees, and also includes credit card processing fees. The decrease for the comparable three and nine month periods was due to individually immaterial changes.

Certain amounts in cost of revenue for 2014 have been reclassified as operating expenses to conform to current period presentation. The reclassification is a result of organization changes made in the first quarter of 2015 to adopt our current content strategy and, as a result, certain payroll-related expenses are now reflected in operating expenses as technology and development and sales and marketing.

15

Sales and Marketing

Sales and marketing expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 were as follows (in thousands of dollars):

							Increase / (Decrease)
	2014			2013			Amount		Percent
Three months ended September 30,	$	3,246		$	3,002		$	244		8	%
Percentage of Revenue		55	%		53	%
Nine months ended September 30,		9,454			8,827			627		7	%
Percentage of Revenue		54	%		52	%

The increase in expenses for the comparable three month periods is due to a $148,000 increase in contract labor and consulting costs necessary to support our ongoing product development, a $66,000 increase in payroll related investment, including certain employee separation costs, incurred to support our initiatives in sales, marketing and product development, and other individually immaterial changes.

The increase in expenses for the comparable nine month periods is related to $441,000 in payroll related investment, including certain employee separation costs, incurred to support our initiatives in sales, marketing and product development, a $253,000 increase in for contract labor and consulting costs necessary to support our ongoing product development, and other individually immaterial changes.

Technology and Development

Technology and development expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 were as follows (in thousands of dollars):

							Increase / (Decrease)
	2014			2013			Amount			Percent
Three months ended September 30,	$	1,067		$	1,035		$	32			3	%
Percentage of Revenue		18	%		18	%
Nine months ended September 30,		3,161			3,176			(15	)		(0	%)
Percentage of Revenue		18	%		19	%

The increase in expenses for the comparable three month periods is primarily comprised of an increase in payroll related costs incurred to fill software development positions open in the same period last year, partially offset by a decrease in amortization costs.

The decrease in expenses for the comparable nine month periods is primarily attributed to a decrease in amortization costs, partially offset by an increase in payroll related costs incurred to fill software development positions open in the same period last year and an increase in costs capitalized as internal software development.

General and Administrative

General and administrative expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 were as follows (in thousands of dollars):

							Increase / (Decrease)
	2014			2013			Amount			Percent
Three months ended September 30,	$	788		$	906		$	(118	)		(13	%)
Percentage of Revenue		13	%		16	%
Nine months ended September 30,		3,015			2,660			355			13	%
Percentage of Revenue		17	%		16	%

16

The decrease in expenses for the comparable three month periods is due to a $38,000 decrease in professional services, a $26,000 decrease in recruiting fees, a $25,000 decrease in payroll related costs due to lower headcount, and other individually immaterial changes.

The increase in expenses for the comparable nine month periods is due to $299,000 of non-recurring legal and consulting fees and $170,000 of employee separation costs, offset by a $49,000 decrease in business taxes and a $37,000 decrease in amortization costs.

Critical Accounting Policies and Management Estimates

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates including, but not limited to, those affecting the fair value of stock-based compensation, allowance for doubtful accounts, capitalization of costs for internally developed software, recoverability of long-lived assets, including internally developed software, and the valuation allowance for net deferred tax assets. The brief discussion below is intended to highlight some of the judgments and uncertainties that can impact the application of these policies and the specific dollar amounts reported on our financial statements.

We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form our basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions, or if management made different judgments or utilized different estimates. Many of our estimates or judgments are based on anticipated future events or performance, and as such, are forward-looking in nature, and are subject to many risks and uncertainties, including those discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Except as otherwise required by law, we do not undertake any obligation to update or revise this discussion to reflect any future events or circumstances.

For a detailed discussion of our critical accounting policies and estimates, please refer to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014.

There have been no material changes in the application of our critical accounting policies and estimates subsequent to that report.

See Note 1 to the interim unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements for the disclosure of recently issued accounting pronouncements.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our principal sources of liquidity are cash, cash equivalents and available for sale investments. Our combined cash, cash equivalents and available for sale investments were $8.2 million at September 30, 2015. At September 30, 2015, we held $6.4 million in available for sale investments, primarily in FDIC insured or U.S. government backed securities.

If we engage in merger or acquisition transactions or our overall operating plans change, we may require additional equity or debt financing to meet future working capital needs, which may have a dilutive effect on existing stockholders or may include securities that have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of the rights of our common stock. We cannot make assurances that if additional financing is required, it will be available, or that such financing can be obtained on satisfactory terms.

17

From December 31, 2014 to September 30, 2015, cash, cash equivalents and available for sale investments increased by $170,000 for the reasons described below.

Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities was $1.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 compared to $2.4 million in the same period in 2014. The decrease of $729,000 in net cash provided by operating activities is attributable to a greater net loss and an increase in vendor and payroll disbursements in the nine months ended September 30, 2015 as compared to the same period of 2014.

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities was $1.6 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2015, compared to $2.8 million in the same period in 2014. The decrease of $1.2 million in cash used in investing activities is attributable to a $2.8 million decrease in purchases of investments and a $259,000 decrease in additions to property and equipment and internal use software partially offset by a $1.9 million decrease in sales and maturities of investments.

Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities was $223,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, compared to $38,000 in the same period in the prior year. The increase in cash provided by financing activities is primarily due to a $189,000 decrease in principal payments on capital leases.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.

The disclosures under this Item are not required for smaller reporting companies.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

The Company conducted an evaluation (pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act")), under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e)) as of September 30, 2015.  Based on the evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that these disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2015.

We made no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2015 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. We intend to continue to refine our internal control over financial reporting on an ongoing basis, as we deem appropriate with a view towards continuous improvement.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

From time to time, legal proceedings may arise in the ordinary course of business. Although the outcomes of legal proceedings are inherently difficult to predict, we are not currently involved in any legal proceeding in which the outcome, in our judgment based on information currently available, is likely to have a material adverse effect on our business or financial position.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

There have been no material changes in our risk factors from those disclosed in Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014.

The Company evaluated certificates of deposits held as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 and concluded that they meet the definition of securities as available for sale

.

Onvia accounts for investments held as available for sale according to their fair values, which is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset, or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price), in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The Company utilizes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The following are the three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 — Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices 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 — Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

Onvia uses the market approach to measure fair value for its financial assets and liabilities. The market approach uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities.

The following table summarizes, by major security type, investments classified as available-for-sale at September 30, 2015 and at December 31, 2014, stated at fair value (in thousands):

Earnings Per Share [Text Block]

3. Earnings per Share

Basic income/(loss) per share is calculated by dividing the net loss for the period by the weighted average shares of common stock outstanding for the period. Diluted income/(loss) per share is calculated by dividing the net income/(loss) per share by the weighted average common stock outstanding for the period, plus dilutive potential common shares using the treasury stock method. In periods with a net loss, basic and diluted earnings per share are identical because inclusion of potentially dilutive common shares would be anti-dilutive.

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net income/(loss) per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 (in thousands, except per share data):

	Three Months Ended September 30,					Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2015		2014			2015			2014
Net income/(loss)	$	9	$	(42	)	$	(388	)	$	(248	)
Shares used to compute basic net income/(loss) per share		7,449		7,396			7,421			7,381
Dilutive potential common shares:
Stock options		112		-			-			-
Shares used to compute diluted net income/(loss) per share		7,561		7,396			7,421			7,381
Basic and diluted net income/(loss) per share	$	0.00	$	(0.01	)	$	(0.05	)	$	(0.03	)

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, the weighted average effect of stock options to purchase approximately 314,000 and 853,000 shares of common stock, respectively, were excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share because the exercise price is greater than the average market price of common stock for the respective period.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, the weighted average effect of stock options to purchase approximately 1,076,000 and 1,095,000 shares of common stock, respectively, were excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share because the exercise price is greater than the average market price of common stock for the respective period.

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements Disclosure [Text Block]

1. Basis of Presentation

The interim unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes thereto have been prepared pursuant to generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America, or GAAP, and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, certain information and note disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. The accompanying interim unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014 (“2014 Annual Report”).

Onvia had a wholly-owned subsidiary in Canada that was dissolved effective December 19, 2014; and there was no business activity in this subsidiary during the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2014. The wholly-owned subsidiary owned no assets or liabilities as of the date of dissolution.

The information furnished is unaudited, but reflects, in the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring items, necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods presented. In addition, certain reclassifications of prior period balances have been made to conform to the current period presentation.

Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the Company’s management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the 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. Significant estimates include the fair value of stock-based compensation, allowance for doubtful accounts, capitalization of costs for internally developed software, recoverability of long-lived assets, including internally developed software, and the valuation allowance for Onvia’s net deferred tax assets. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ significantly from the Company’s estimates. In addition, any significant unanticipated changes in any of the Company’s assumptions could have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued guidance on the recognition of revenue from contracts with customers. Revenue recognition will depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The guidance also requires disclosures regarding the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. The guidance permits two methods of adoption: retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented, or retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initially applying the guidance recognized at the date of initial application. The guidance was originally effective January 1, 2017 and early adoption was not permitted. In July 2015, the FASB approved a one-year deferral of the effective date to January 1, 2018, with an option of applying the standard on the original effective date. The company is currently evaluating the impact of the new guidance, the effective date and the method of adoption.

Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Basis of Accounting, Policy [Policy Text Block]

The interim unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes thereto have been prepared pursuant to generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America, or GAAP, and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, certain information and note disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. The accompanying interim unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014 (“2014 Annual Report”).

Onvia had a wholly-owned subsidiary in Canada that was dissolved effective December 19, 2014; and there was no business activity in this subsidiary during the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2014. The wholly-owned subsidiary owned no assets or liabilities as of the date of dissolution.

The information furnished is unaudited, but reflects, in the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring items, necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods presented. In addition, certain reclassifications of prior period balances have been made to conform to the current period presentation.

Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year.

Use of Estimates, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the Company’s management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the 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. Significant estimates include the fair value of stock-based compensation, allowance for doubtful accounts, capitalization of costs for internally developed software, recoverability of long-lived assets, including internally developed software, and the valuation allowance for Onvia’s net deferred tax assets. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ significantly from the Company’s estimates. In addition, any significant unanticipated changes in any of the Company’s assumptions could have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition, and results of operations.

New Accounting Pronouncements, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued guidance on the recognition of revenue from contracts with customers. Revenue recognition will depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The guidance also requires disclosures regarding the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. The guidance permits two methods of adoption: retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented, or retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initially applying the guidance recognized at the date of initial application. The guidance was originally effective January 1, 2017 and early adoption was not permitted. In July 2015, the FASB approved a one-year deferral of the effective date to January 1, 2018, with an option of applying the standard on the original effective date. The company is currently evaluating the impact of the new guidance, the effective date and the method of adoption.

Internal Use Software Disclosure [Text Block]

7. Internal Use Software

Onvia capitalizes qualifying computer software costs incurred during the “application development stage” and other costs. Amortization of these costs begins once the product is ready for its intended use. These costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the product, typically 3 to 5 years. The amount of costs capitalized within any period is dependent on the nature of software development activities and projects in each period.

Onvia periodically evaluates the remaining useful lives and carrying values of internal use software. If management determines that all or a portion of the asset will no longer be used, or the estimated remaining useful life differs from existing estimates, an abandonment will be recorded to reduce the carrying value or adjust the remaining useful life to reflect revised estimates. In addition, if the carrying value of the software exceeds the estimated future cash flows, an impairment will be recorded to reduce the carrying value to the expected realizable value. No impairment has been recorded for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014.

The following table presents a roll-forward of capitalized internal use software for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 (in thousands):

	Balance at December 31, 2014			Additions			Balance at September 30, 2015
Capitalized internal use software	$	17,107		$	1,390		$	18,497
Accumulated amortization		(12,048	)		(1,292	)		(13,340	)
Internal use software, net	$	5,059		$	98		$	5,157

Amortization expense was $388,000 and $1.3 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, respectively, compared to $609,000 and $1.9 million, respectively, for the same periods of 2014. Amortization expense is included in operating expenses in the interim unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Income Tax Disclosure [Text Block]

10. Provision for Income Taxes

As of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, Onvia has recorded a valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets because the Company has determined it is not more likely than not that the asset will be realized. Onvia will continue to evaluate the likelihood that these tax benefits may be realized, and may reverse all or a portion of its valuation allowance in the future if it is determined that realization of these benefits is more likely than not.

Pursuant to Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), utilization of net operating loss (NOL) carryforwards to offset future taxable income are subject to substantial annual limitations if we experience a cumulative change in ownership as defined by the Code. In general, an ownership change, as defined by the Code, results from transactions increasing the ownership of certain stockholders or public groups in the stock of a corporation by more than 50 percentage points over a three-year period.

As of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, Onvia’s Federal NOL carryforwards for income tax purposes were approximately $76.0 million.  The Federal NOL carryforwards are subject to limitations under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code. If not utilized, the Federal NOL carryforwards will begin to expire in 2022.  The latest date available for a portion of the Federal NOL carryforwards to be utilized to offset future income is 2033.
