Increase in Authorized Shares and
Reverse Stock Split
 
On
April 26, 2019,
the Company’s Shareholders and the Board of Directors approved an amendment to the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to increase the total number of shares of Common Stock, par value
$0.001
per share (“
Common Stock
”), authorized for issuance thereunder from
50
million shares to
2.5
billion shares (the “
Increase in Authorized
”). On the same date the Company’s Shareholders and the Board of Directors also approved an amendment to the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to effect a reverse stock split of both its issued and outstanding and authorized shares of Common Stock, par value
$0.001
per share, at a ratio of
one
(
1
) share of Common Stock for every
fifty
(
50
) shares of Common Stock at any time prior to
December 31, 2018 (
the “Reverse Split”) pursuant to which all classes of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock at the close of business on such date were combined and reconstituted into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock in a ratio of
one
(
1
) share of Common Stock for every
fifty
(
50
) shares of Common Stock (
“1
-for-
50
reverse stock split”). The
1
-for-
50
reverse stock split was effective as of close of business on
May 1, 2019 (
the “Effective Date”) and the Company’s stock began trading on a split-adjusted basis on
May 2, 2019.
 
The reverse stock split reduced the number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock authorized from
2.5
billion shares to
50
million shares. Proportional adjustments have been made to the conversion and exercise prices of the Company’s outstanding convertible preferred stock, warrants, restricted stock awards, and stock options, and to the number of shares issued and issuable under the Company’s Stock Incentive Plans. The Company did
not
issue any fractional shares in connection with the reverse stock split. Instead, any stockholder who would otherwise be entitled to receive a fractional share of Common Stock as a result of the reverse stock split is entitled to receive a cash payment in lieu thereof based on the average of the closing sales prices of a share of the Company’s Common Stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market during regular trading hours for the
five
consecutive trading days immediately preceding the Effective Date. The reverse stock split does
not
modify the rights or preferences of the Common Stock. The number of authorized shares of the Company’s Common Stock is
50
million shares and the par value remain 
$0.001.
 
The accompanying consolidated financial statements and footnotes have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the effects of the
1
-for-
50
reverse stock split.
 
Going Concern
 
The Company has incurred operating losses and used cash in its operating activities for the past several years. Cash has been used to fund operations, develop new products, and build infrastructure. During the prior fiscal years and continuing into the current fiscal year, the Company has executed a restructuring plan that included a reduction of workforce and office space, which significantly reduced operating expenses. The Company is continuing to maintain tight control over discretionary spending in the current fiscal year.
 
In the
second
quarter of fiscal
2019,
the Company concluded a private offering that raised net cash proceeds of
$9.2
million.  Proceeds were used to pay-off in full the outstanding amounts on our Heritage Bank of Commerce line of credit and Montage Capital II, L.P. loan.  At
September 30, 2019,
the Company had
no
debt. Further, in the
second
quarter of fiscal
2019,
the Company used cash to purchase the assets of Seevolution, Inc. and Stantive Technologies Group Inc., which assets included technology and customers. While the Company believes the future revenues and cash flows from these newly acquired customers will supplement its working capital and the Company believes it has an appropriate cost structure to support future revenue growth, based upon its current working capital and projected cash flows in the next
twelve
months, the Company will need additional sources of financing in place in order to ensure its operations are adequately funded.
No
definitive agreements for additional financing are in place as of the date of this annual report and there can be
no
assurances that that additional sources of financing could be obtained on terms that are favorable or acceptable to us and that revenue growth and improvement in cash flows can be achieved. Accordingly, management believes that there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for at least
twelve
months following the issuance of this annual report.
No
adjustments have been made to accompanying consolidated financial statements as a result of this uncertainty.
