NOTE 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Principles of Consolidation

The financial statements presented herein reflect the consolidated financial position of Park City Group and our Subsidiaries. All inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. 

Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that materially affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements. Actual results could differ from these estimates. The methods, estimates, and judgments the Company uses in applying its most critical accounting policies have a significant impact on the results it reports in its financial statements. The Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) has defined the most critical accounting policies as those that are most important to the portrayal of the Company’s financial condition and results and require the Company to make its most difficult and subjective judgments, often because of the need to make estimates of matters that are inherently uncertain. Based on this definition, the Company’s most critical accounting policies include revenue recognition, goodwill, other long-lived asset valuations, income taxes, stock-based compensation, and capitalization of software development costs.

Concentration of Credit Risk and Significant Customers

The Company maintains cash in bank deposit accounts, which, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk on cash and cash equivalents. Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk, consist primarily of trade receivables. In the normal course of business, the Company provides credit terms to its customers. Accordingly, the Company performs ongoing evaluations of its customers and maintains allowances for possible losses. The provision is based on the overall composition of our accounts receivable aging, our prior history of accounts receivable write-offs, and our experience with specific customers.

Other factors indicating significant risk include customers that have filed for bankruptcy or customers for which we have less payment history to rely upon. We rely on historical trends of bad debt as a percentage of total revenue and apply these percentages to the accounts receivable which when realized have been within the range of management’s expectations. The Company does not require collateral from its customers.

The Company’s accounts receivable are derived from sales of products and services primarily to customers operating multilocation retail and grocery stores. The Company writes off accounts receivable when they are determined to be uncollectible. Changes in the allowances for doubtful accounts are recorded as bad debt expense and are included in general and administrative expense in our consolidated financial statements. Amounts that have been invoiced are recorded in accounts receivable (current and long-term), and in deferred revenue or revenue, depending on whether the revenue recognition criteria have been met.

The Company had two customers that accounted for greater than 10% of accounts receivable at June 30, 2022. Customer A had a balance of $962,300 and $967,300 and Customer B had a balance of $340,155 and $404,155 for June 30, 2022 and June 30, 2021, respectively.

Prepaid Expense and Other Current Assets

Prepaid expense and other current assets include amounts for which payment has been made but the services have not yet been consumed. The Company’s prepaid expense is made up primarily of prepayments for hosted software applications used in the Company’s operations, maintenance agreements on hardware and software, and other miscellaneous amounts for insurance, membership fees and professional fees. Prepaid expense is amortized on a pro-rata basis to expense accounts as the services are consumed typically by the passage of time or as the service is used.

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization of property and equipment is computed using the straight-line method based on the following estimated useful lives:

	Years
Furniture and fixtures		5-7
Computer equipment		3
Equipment under capital leases		3
Long-term use equipment		10
Leasehold improvements	See below

Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the remaining lease term or the estimated useful life of the improvements.

Amortization of intangible assets are computed using the straight-line method based on the following estimated useful lives:

	Years
Customer relationships		10
Acquired developed software		5
Developed software		3
Goodwill	See below

Goodwill and intangible assets deemed to have indefinite lives are subject to annual impairment tests. Other intangible assets are amortized over their useful lives.  

Warranties

The Company offers a limited warranty against software defects. Customers who are not completely satisfied with their software purchase may attempt to be reimbursed for their purchases outside the warranty period. For the years ending June 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company did not incur any expense associated with warranty claims.

Adoption of ASC 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation

From time to time, the Company issues shares of common stock as share-based compensation to employees and non-employees. The Company accounts for its share-based compensation to employees in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation (“Topic 718”). Stock-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date, based on the estimated fair value of the award, and is recognized as expense over the requisite service or vesting period.

In prior periods through September 30, 2019, the Company accounted for share-based compensation issued to non-employees and consultants in accordance with the provisions of FASB ASC Subtopic 505-50, Equity – Equity-based Payments to Non-employees (“Subtopic 505-50”). Measurement of share-based payment transactions with non-employees is based on the fair value of whichever is more reliably measurable: (a) the goods or services received; or (b) the equity instruments issued. The final fair value of the share-based payment transaction is determined at the performance completion date. For interim periods, the fair value is estimated, and the percentage of completion is applied to that estimate to determine the cumulative expense recorded.

The Company adopted Topic 718 during the second quarter of fiscal year 2020. Topic 718 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Adoption of ASU 2016-02 “Leases (Topic 842)”

Under the new guidance, lessees will be required to recognize for all leases (with the exception of short-term leases) a lease liability, which is a lessee’s obligation to make lease payments arising from a lease, measured on a discounted basis and a right-of-use asset, which is an asset that represents the lessee’s right to use, or control the use of, a specified asset for the lease term. The Company adopted the requirements of ASU 2016-02 utilizing the modified retrospective method of transition to identified leases as of July 1, 2019 (the “Effective Date”). The recognition of additional operating lease liabilities was $82,517 for the current portion and $760,172 for the long-term portion and corresponding operating right-of-use assets were recorded in the amount of $842,689. This represents the operating lease existing as of the Effective Date which has a lease term of three years with the option for two additional three-year terms.

On June 21, 2018, the Company entered into an office lease at 5282 South Commerce Drive Suite D292, Murray, Utah 84107, providing for the lease of approximately 9,800 square feet, commencing on March 1, 2019. The monthly rent is $10,200. The initial term of the lease is three years. The Company has the option of renewing for an additional two three-year terms.

On March 1, 2022, the Company exercised the option to renew the office lease for an additional three-year term. Terms of the lease were modified to reduce the space from 9,800 square feet to approximately 5,000 square feet commencing March 1, 2022. The monthly rent was reduced to $5,871 per month with an annual increase of 3% each year. The Company has the option of renewing for an additional three-year term.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue as it transfers control of deliverables (products, solutions and services) to its customers in an amount reflecting the consideration to which it expects to be entitled. To recognize revenue, the Company applies the following five step approach: (1) identify the contract with a customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (5) recognize revenue when a performance obligation is satisfied. The Company accounts for a contract based on the terms and conditions the parties agree to, if the contract has commercial substance and if collectability of consideration is probable. The Company applies judgment in determining the customer’s ability and intention to pay, which is based on a variety of factors including the customer’s historical payment experience.

The Company may enter into arrangements that consist of multiple performance obligations. Such arrangements may include any combination of its deliverables. To the extent a contract includes multiple promised deliverables, the Company applies judgment to determine whether promised deliverables are capable of being distinct and are distinct in the context of the contract. If these criteria are not met, the promised deliverables are accounted for as a combined performance obligation. For arrangements with multiple distinct performance obligations, the Company allocates consideration among the performance obligations based on their relative standalone selling price. Standalone selling price is the price at which the Company would sell a promised good or service separately to the customer. When not directly observable, the Company typically estimates standalone selling price by using the expected cost plus a margin approach. The Company typically establishes a standalone selling price range for its deliverables, which is reassessed on a periodic basis or when facts and circumstances change.

For performance obligations where control is transferred over time, revenue is recognized based on the extent of progress towards completion of the performance obligation. The selection of the method to measure progress towards completion requires judgment and is based on the nature of the deliverables to be provided. Revenue related to fixed-price contracts for application development and systems integration services, consulting or other technology services is recognized as the service is performed using the output method, under which the total value of revenue is recognized based on each contract’s deliverable(s) as they are completed and when value is transferred to a customer. Revenue related to fixed-price application maintenance, testing and business process services is recognized based on our right to invoice for services performed for contracts in which the invoicing is representative of the value being delivered, in accordance with the practical expedient in FASB ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“Topic 606”), paragraph 606-10-55-18 (“ASC 606-10-55-18”).

If the Company’s invoicing is not consistent with the value delivered, revenue is recognized as the service is performed based on the method described above. The output method measures the results achieved and value transferred to a customer, which is updated as the project progresses to reflect the latest available information; such estimates and changes in estimates involve the use of judgment. The cumulative impact of any revision in estimates is reflected in the financial reporting period in which the change in estimate becomes known and any anticipated losses on contracts are recognized immediately. Revenue related to fixed-price hosting and infrastructure services is recognized based on the Company’s right to invoice for services performed for contracts in which the invoicing is representative of the value being delivered, in accordance with the practical expedient in ASC 606-10-55-18. If the Company’s invoicing is not consistent with value delivered, revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis unless revenue is earned and obligations are fulfilled in a different pattern. The revenue recognition method applied to the types of contracts described above provides the most faithful depiction of performance towards satisfaction of the Company’s performance obligations.

Revenue related to the Company’s software license arrangements that do not require significant modification or customization of the underlying software is recognized when the software is delivered as control is transferred at a point in time. For software license arrangements that require significant functionality enhancements or modification of the software, revenue for the software license and related services is recognized as the services are performed in accordance with the methods described above. In software hosting arrangements, the rights provided to the customer, such as ownership of a license, contract termination provisions and the feasibility of the client to operate the software, are considered in determining whether the arrangement includes a license or a service. Revenue related to software maintenance and support is generally recognized on a straight-line basis over the contract period.

Management expects that incremental commission fees paid as a result of obtaining a contract are recoverable and therefore the Company capitalized them as contract costs. The Company recognizes the incremental costs of obtaining contracts as an expense when incurred if the amortization period of the asset that the Company otherwise would have recognized is one year or less.

Revenue related to transaction-based or volume-based contracts is recognized over the period the services are provided in a manner that corresponds with the value transferred to the customer to-date relative to the remaining services to be provided.

From time to time, the Company may enter into arrangements with third party suppliers to resell products or services. In such cases, the Company evaluates whether the Company is the principal (i.e., report revenue on a gross basis) or agent (i.e., report revenue on a net basis). In doing so, the Company first evaluates whether it controls the good or service before it is transferred to the customer. If the Company controls the good or service before it is transferred to the customer, the Company is the principal; if not, the Company is the agent. Determining whether the Company controls the good or service before it is transferred to the customer may require judgment.

The Company provides customers with assurance that the related deliverable will function as the parties intended because it complies with agreed-upon specifications. General updates or patch fixes are not considered an additional performance obligation in the contract.

Variable consideration is estimated using either the sum of probability weighted amounts in a range of possible consideration amounts (expected value), or the single most likely amount in a range of possible consideration amounts (most likely amount), depending on which method better predicts the amount of consideration to which we may be entitled. The Company includes in the transaction price variable consideration only to the extent it is probable that a significant reversal of revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is resolved. The Company’s estimates of variable consideration and determination of whether to include estimated amounts in the transaction price may involve judgment and is based largely on an assessment of its anticipated performance and all information that is reasonably available to the Company.

The Company assesses the timing of the transfer of goods or services to the customer as compared to the timing of payments to determine whether a significant financing component exists. As a practical expedient, the Company does not assess the existence of a significant financing component when the difference between payment and transfer of deliverables is a year or less. If the difference in timing arises for reasons other than the provision of finance to either the customer or us, no financing component is deemed to exist. The primary purpose of the Company’s invoicing terms is to provide customers with simplified and predictable ways of purchasing its services, not to receive or provide financing from or to customers. The Company does not consider set up or transition fees paid upfront by its customers to represent a financing component, as such fees are required to encourage customer commitment to the project and protect us from early termination of the contract.

Trade Accounts Receivable and Contract Balances

We classify our right to consideration in exchange for deliverables as either a receivable or a contract asset (unbilled receivable). A receivable is a right to consideration that is unconditional (i.e., only the passage of time is required before payment is due). For example, we recognize a receivable for revenue related to our transaction or volume-based contracts when earned regardless of whether amounts have been billed. We present such receivables in trade accounts receivable, net in our consolidated statements of financial position at their net estimated realizable value. We maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts to provide for the estimated amount of receivables that may not be collected. The allowance is based upon an assessment of customer creditworthiness, historical payment experience, the age of outstanding receivables, judgment, and other applicable factors.

A contract asset is a right to consideration that is conditional upon factors other than the passage of time. Contract assets are presented in current and other assets in our consolidated balance sheets and primarily relate to unbilled amounts on fixed-price contracts utilizing the output method of revenue recognition. The table below shows movements in contract assets:

	Contract assets
Balance – June 30, 2021	$	1,657,861
Revenue recognized during the period but not billed		-
Amounts reclassified to accounts receivable		(856,829	)
Other		(43,547	)
Balance – June 30, 2022	$	757,485	(1)

⁽¹⁾ Contract asset balances for June 30, 2022 include a current and a long-term contract asset of $649,433 and $108,052, respectively.

Our contract assets and liabilities are reported at the end of each reporting period. The difference between the opening and closing balances of our contract assets and deferred revenue primarily results from the timing difference between our performance obligations and the customer’s payment. We receive payments from customers based on the terms established in our contracts, which may vary generally by contract type.

The table below shows movements in the deferred revenue balances (current and noncurrent) for the period:

	Contract liability
Balance – June 30, 2021	$	1,755,341
Amounts billed but not recognized as revenue		1,501,427
Revenue recognized related to the opening balance of deferred revenue		(1,701,625	)
Balance – June 30, 2022	$	1,555,143

Our contract assets and liabilities are reported in a net position on a contract-by-contract basis at the end of each reporting period. The difference between the opening and closing balances of our contract assets and deferred revenue primarily results from the timing difference between our performance obligations and the customer’s payment. We receive payments from customers based on the terms established in our contracts, which may vary generally by contract type.

Disaggregation of Revenue

The table below presents disaggregated revenue from contracts with customers by contract-type. All revenues for the years ending June 30, 2022 and 2021 were generated from sales in North America. We believe this disaggregation best depicts the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of our revenue and cash flows that may be affected by industry, market and other economic factors:

	Year Ended, June 30
	2022		2021		Chg $			Chg %
Recurring – Subscription, Support and Services	$	17,857,666	$	16,848,875	$	1,008,791			6	%
Non – Recurring – Services		81,021		584,394		(503,373	)		-86	%
Transaction Based – Marketplace		108,254		3,573,807		(3,465,553	)		-97	%
Total	$	18,046,941	$	21,007,076	$	(2,960,135	)		-14	%

Software Development Costs

The Company accounts for research costs of computer software to be sold, leased or otherwise marketed as expense until technological feasibility has been established for the product. Once technological feasibility is established, the company will occasionally capitalize software costs until the product is available for general release to customers. In these instances, the Company determines technological feasibility for its software products to have been reached when a working prototype is complete and meets or exceeds design specifications including functions, features, and technical performance requirements.

Research and Development Costs

Research and development costs include personnel costs, engineering, consulting, and contract labor and are expensed as incurred for software that has not achieved technological feasibility.

Advertising Costs

Advertising is expensed as incurred. Advertising costs were approximately $22,673 and $5,000 for the years ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Income Taxes

The Company recognizes deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between tax bases and financial reporting bases of other assets and liabilities.

Earnings Per Share

Basic net income per common share (“Basic EPS”) excludes dilution and is computed by dividing net income applicable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 (“Common Stock”) outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per common share (“Diluted EPS”) reflects the potential dilution that could occur if stock options or other contracts to issue shares of Common Stock were exercised or converted into Common Stock. The computation of Diluted EPS does not assume exercise or conversion of securities that would have an anti-dilutive effect on net income per share of Common Stock.

For the years ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, warrants to purchase 1,085,068 shares of Common Stock were included in the computation of Diluted EPS, and warrants to purchase 23,737 shares of Common Stock were excluded the computation of Diluted EPS due to the anti-dilutive effect. Warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock were outstanding at prices ranging $4.00 from to $10.00 per share at June 30, 2022.

The following table presents the components of the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share for the periods indicated:

	Year ended June 30,
	2022		2021
Numerator
Net income applicable to common shareholders	$	3,416,651	$	3,530,951
Denominator
Weighted average common shares outstanding, basic		19,087,000		19,502,000
Warrants to purchase Common Stock		293,000		252,000
Weighted average common shares outstanding, diluted		19,380,000		19,754,000
Net income per share
Basic	$	0.18	$	0.18
Diluted	$	0.18	$	0.18

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company recognizes the cost of employee services received in exchange for awards of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of those awards. The Company records compensation expense on a straight-line basis. The fair value of options granted are estimated at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option pricing model with assumptions for the risk-free interest rate, expected life, volatility, dividend yield and forfeiture rate.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of twelve months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents are stated at fair value.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash, cash equivalents, receivables, payables, accruals and notes payable. The carrying amount of cash, cash equivalents, receivables, payables and accruals approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of these items. The notes payable also approximate fair value based on evaluations of market interest rates.
