SofTech, Inc. (the “Company”) was formed in Massachusetts on June 10, 1969. The Company is primarily engaged in the development, marketing, distribution and support of computer software solutions that serve the Product Lifecycle Management (“PLM”) industry. The Company’s operations are organized geographically with offices in the U.S. and in Italy. The Company also has resellers in Asia and Europe.

In addition to the products offered to the PLM industry, in 2012, the Company filed a patent application describing an information management system for the residential property market. The Company established a wholly-owned subsidiary, HomeView, Inc. on April 7, 2015 in Massachusetts. HomeView™, a technology being developed by HomeView, Inc., is a secure, intelligent home asset management and maintenance system. HomeView allows homeowners to create a virtual home manual that logs, manages and tracks personal assets and attributes about the property. Home ownership is made easier by managing user manuals, warranty periods, service records, maintenance reminders and other projects with HomeView. Our plans are to offer this technology as a hosted solution wherein the software would reside on our servers.

Since fiscal year 2015, the Company has invested a substantial amount of time in, among other things, researching this market, reviewing various business models, creating specifications for the technology and developing the technology. In January 2016, the product was introduced to the market and a free version of the app was made available on iTunes.

The Company has been actively engaged in acquiring and filing new U.S. patents, evaluating alternatives for monetizing its existing patents and investigating the acquisition of specific patents already awarded that might enhance shareholder value.

The consolidated financial statements of the Company include the accounts of SofTech, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Information Decisions, Inc., Workgroup Technology Corporation, HomeView, Inc., SofTech, GmbH (inactive since 2014) and SofTech, Srl. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The Company has sustained net operating losses and negative cash flow from operations for fiscal years 2016 and 2015 as detailed in the table below (000’s):


		Fiscal Years Ended
		May 31,		May 31,
		2016		2015

Net loss	$	(673)	$	(1,319)

Net cash used in operating activities	$	(359)	$	(1,287)

The net loss and net cash used in operating activities for the first quarter of fiscal 2017 was $(184,000) and $(338,000), respectively, as compared to $(174,000) and $(385,000) for the same period in fiscal 2016.

The majority of the net losses and net cash used in operating activities detailed above relate to our Italian subsidiary and expenses we have incurred in launching our HomeView technology.

Our Italian subsidiary, SofTech, Srl, was primarily focused on marketing and supporting the CADRA technology prior to the sale of that product line in fiscal 2014. Since that time, it has been offering CADRA under a Distributorship Agreement while developing new revenue streams. The losses diminished significantly in fiscal 2016 as compared to 2015 as a result of these new initiatives. In fiscal 2016, we were awarded a contract to implement a solution at our largest European customer to, among other things, automate their bill of materials using third party technologies and professional services. This project was substantially completed during the fiscal year 2016 and we are discussing expansion of that solution with this customer. We anticipate continued improvement in operating results.

With regard to HomeView, we are continuing to develop the technology and expect multiple new releases for the foreseeable future. We began introducing this product to the market in January 2016. The Company expects that additional capital will be required to continue to introduce HomeView into the market effectively.

We believe with additional liquidity, we can significantly ramp up the marketing efforts and new account creation.

On August 24, 2016, we entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement pursuant to which we agreed to sell our ProductCenter and Connector product lines to Essig Research, Inc. (“Essig”) for a total of $3.25 million plus contingent payments based on revenue targets for the two twelve-month periods immediately following the transaction date (the “PLM Sale”). Essig is an affiliate of EssigPR, Inc., which is owned by Joseph P. Daly, a related party of the Company whose beneficial ownership was approximately 19.4% of the Company’s outstanding common stock as of August 24, 2016. The assets to be acquired by Essig include the properties and assets used exclusively in the Product Lifecycle Management (“PLM”) operations which is composed of the ProducCenter and Connector product lines. Essig will assume the contractual liabilities associated with maintenance and subscription support services. Specifically excluded from the sale and retained by SofTech are cash, billed accounts receivable and all remaining assets and liabilities not specifically identified, including the operations of SofTech Srl and HomeView. Approximately $1.25 million of indebtedness as of August 31, 2016 owed by the Company to Essig under existing debt agreements would be repaid as part of this transaction, thereby reducing the cash paid to the Company at the closing. In addition, at the closing of the transaction, the Company has agreed to repurchase from Mr. Daly 110,000 shares of its common stock at approximately $6.50 per share. These shares are currently subject to a $7.00 put right that, absent such repurchase, would have been exercisable by Mr. Daly in fiscal 2018.

A special meeting of the Company’s shareholders (the “Special Meeting”) was held on October 5, 2016 to consider and vote on the proposal to approve the sale of substantially all of the assets used in its ProductCenter and Connector technologies. At the Special Meeting 79.7% the shareholders voted in favor of the PLM Sale.

The sale of the ProductCenter and Connector technologies will provide the Company with the liquidity it needs to meet its existing obligations as well as increase the marketing efforts for the HomeView technology.

Management believes that with its available cash and the proceeds from the sale of the technologies described above it will have sufficient cash to meet the Company’s working capital and capital expenditure requirements through at least the next twelve months. There can be no assurance, however, that the sale will be completed.

On October 18, 2013, the Company sold substantially all of the assets of its CADRA product line, including all intellectual property related to that technology but specifically excluding cash, billed accounts receivable and liabilities other than the deferred maintenance liability associated with CADRA customer maintenance contracts for support services (the “CADRA Sale”), to Mentor Graphics Corporation (“Mentor”), pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement dated August 30, 2013 (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”). The aggregate consideration for the CADRA Sale is up to $3.95 million. Through May 31, 2016 the Company has received a total of approximately $3.7 million from Mentor and could receive up to an additional $223,000 based upon the CADRA revenue generated by Mentor for the period from February 1, 2016 through October 31, 2016. In accordance with the terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement the final payment would be received on or before April 1, 2017. During fiscal year 2016 and 2015 the Company received earn out payments of $200,000 and $283,000, respectively, under the terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement.

In conjunction with completing the CADRA Sale, the Company entered into a one-year, exclusive Distributorship Agreement with Mentor allowing us to market and support the CADRA technology as a reseller throughout Europe (except Germany) at a thirty percent (30%) gross margin. In March 2016 that arrangement was extended through March 24, 2017 on a non-exclusive basis. Under the new arrangement, gross margin on software remained at 30% and the gross margin on support contracts were increased to 35%.
