2. Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of hopTo Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated upon consolidation. The unaudited consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) applicable to interim financial information and the rules and regulations promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Accordingly, such unaudited consolidated financial statements do not include all information and footnote disclosures required in annual financial statements.

The unaudited consolidated financial statements included herein reflect all adjustments, which include only normal, recurring adjustments, that are, in our opinion, necessary to state fairly the results for the periods presented. This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, which was filed with the SEC on March 31, 2022 (“2021 10-K Report”). The interim results presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that may be expected for the full fiscal year ending December 31, 2022, or any future period.

Certain prior year information has been reclassified to conform to current year presentation.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported periods. Amounts could materially change in the future. These significant estimates include the valuation of the allowances for doubtful accounts, depreciation of long-lived assets, allowances for deferred tax assets and accruals of liabilities.

Revenue Recognition

The Company markets and licenses its products indirectly through channel distributors, value-added resellers, independent software vendors (“ISVs”), hosting service providers, corporate enterprises, governmental and educational institutions and others. Our product licenses are perpetual. We also separately sell intellectual property licenses, maintenance contracts, which are comprised of license updates and customer service access, as well as other products and services.

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers.” Revenues under ASC 606 are recognized when the promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services.

Product Sales

All of our licenses are delivered to the customer electronically. The Company sends the license key to the customer to download the related software from the Company portal. We recognize revenue upon delivery of these licenses.

Services Revenue

The Company has maintenance contracts that entitle customers to support and certain updates to the product. Revenue from maintenance contracts is recognized ratably over the related contract period, which generally ranges from one to five years.

Subscription Revenue

The Company sells subscription licenses that provide the customer with the right to use the software, maintenance and support and certain updates to the product. Subscription licenses are delivered electronically by either the Company’s cloud licensing server or by sending a term license key to the customer to download the related software from the Company portal. Revenue from subscription licenses is recognized ratably over the related contract period, which generally ranges from one month to one year.

The Company’s product sales by geographic area are presented in Note 5.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid holdings with maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

We maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts that reflects our best estimate of potentially uncollectible trade receivables. The allowance is based on assessments of the collectability of specific customer accounts and the general aging and size of the accounts receivable. We regularly review the adequacy of our allowance for doubtful accounts by considering such factors as historical experience, credit worthiness, and current economic conditions that may affect a customer’s ability to pay. We specifically reserve for those accounts deemed uncollectible. We also establish, and adjust, a general allowance for doubtful accounts based on our review of the aging and size of our accounts receivable. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the allowance for doubtful accounts totaled $8,100 and $7,000, respectively.

Concentration of Credit Risk

For the six months ended June 30, 2022 and June 30, 2021, the Company had four resellers comprising 12.1%,11.8%, 10.6% and 10.1%, and two resellers comprising 11.2% and 10.2 %, respectively, of total sales.

As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company has five resellers comprising 23.0%, 18.9%, 14.8%, 10.2% and 10.0%, and four reseller comprising 39.7%, 15.0%, 11.9%, and 11.7%, 27.8%, respectively, of net accounts receivable.

For the purposes of this description, “sales” refers to the dollar value of orders received from these customers and partners in the period indicated. The sales values do not necessarily equal recognized revenue for these periods due to our revenue recognition policies which require deferral of revenue associated with prepaid software service fees. The loss of one of these resellers would not have a material impact as the Company could take over the end customer relationship.

Basic and Diluted Earnings Per Share

In accordance with ASC 260, “Earnings Per Share,” the basic income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted income (loss) per share reflects per share amounts that would have resulted if diluted potential common stock had been converted to common stock. Dilutive common share equivalents as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, representing 248,216 of outstanding in-the-money warrants, were included in the computation of diluted net income per share using the Treasury Stock Method. During the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company had total common stock equivalents of 3,200 and 78,550 respectively, which were excluded from the computation of net income per share because they are anti-dilutive.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued expenses. The carrying amount of these financial instruments approximates fair value due to the nature of the accounts and their short-term maturities.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

The FASB issues ASUs to amend the authoritative literature in ASC. There have been several ASUs to date, including those above, that amend the original text of ASC. Management believes that those issued to date either (i) provide supplemental guidance, (ii) are technical corrections, (iii) are not applicable to us or (iv) are not expected to have a significant impact our financial statements.

Right-of-use Assets (ROU) and Lease Liabilities

On January 1, 2022, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (ASU 2016-02), which establishes ASC 842 and supersedes the lease accounting guidance under ASC 840. The standard generally requires lessees to recognize operating and finance lease liabilities and corresponding right-of-use (ROU) assets on the balance sheet and provide enhanced disclosures on the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from lease arrangements. The Company adopted ASC 842 using the modified retrospective approach. The Company elected the package of practical expedients available for existing contracts, which allowed the Company to carry forward our historical assessments of lease identification, lease classification, and initial direct costs. The Company also elected a policy to not apply the recognition requirements of ASC 842 for short-term leases with a term of 12 months of less

As of January 1, 2022, the effective date, the Company identified one operating lease arrangement relating to the Company’s headquarters facility. The adoption of ASC 842 resulted in a recognition of an ROU asset and lease liability of $73,800 on the Company’s balance sheet relating to the leases as of January 1, 2022. The adoption of the standard did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and consolidated statements of cash flows.
