History
The Company was founded in 1978, incorporated as IXI, Inc. in Minnesota in February 1987 and changed its name to Rimage Corporation in April 1988. From 1995 to 2011, the Company focused its business on the development and sale of its CD recordable publishing systems and DVD recordable publishing systems.
In response to declines in the disc publishing business due to technology substitutions and the rise of video as a communication and collaboration tool, in October 2011, the Company acquired Qumu, Inc., a leader in the enterprise video content management software market and changed its name to Qumu Corporation in September 2013. Qumu completed the transition to an enterprise video content management software company in July 2014, when the Company closed on the sale of its disc publishing assets to Equus Holdings, Inc. and Redwood Acquisition, Inc. (now known as Rimage Corporation).
On October 3, 2014, the Company acquired Kulu Valley Ltd., a private limited company incorporated in England and Wales (“Kulu Valley”). The acquisition was made to expand Qumu’s addressable market through the offering of Kulu Valley’s best-in-class video content creation capabilities and easy-to-deploy pure cloud solution, and provides Kulu Valley’s customers with access to industry leading video content management and delivery capability.
Enterprise Video Content Management and Delivery Software
To increase communication, engagement and collaboration between employees and stakeholders, organizations have invested significantly in content and network infrastructure that connects these employees and stakeholders across offices, conference rooms, computers, tablets and smart phones. As part of this, enterprises are adopting video as a mainstream communication and collaboration tool because they understand its benefits over other forms of content.
Qumu video content management software solutions allow organizations to create, capture, organize and deliver content across the extended enterprise to a wide variety of end points, including mobile devices and thick or thin clients. Qumu's video platform supports both live and on-demand streaming, and also secure download capabilities, a critical component for mobile video solutions. Qumu provides information technology administrators and corporate communication leaders a way to securely address the challenges of video that might otherwise overwhelm their data networks while utilizing their existing information technology infrastructures, thereby maximizing their investment and enabling the rapid adoption of video in their content, collaboration, communication and marketing infrastructures.
Qumu provides an end-to-end solution with an intuitive and rich user-experience to create, manage and deliver live and on-demand video content both behind and beyond the secure firewall.
Capabilities and Products
Qumu Platform - Creating a Global Video Infrastructure for Organizations
The Qumu platform is a video content management software solution that can be deployed as a perpetual software license, a term software license or a cloud-hosted software as a service (SaaS). Qumu’s implementations can range in size from tens of thousands to millions of dollars, and they integrate with customers' existing video services (e.g., videoconferencing systems), business applications and broader IT infrastructures using Qumu's extensive application services or "APIs". Deployments also range from a single customer location to a global infrastructure serving over one hundred thousand corporate employees. Qumu’s platform solution components are deployed as needed to serve different capabilities of the enterprise video content lifecycle of creating, capturing, managing, delivering and experiencing video content.
Video Capture
| |
• | Qumu Capture Studio is a portable software-enabled device that quickly and easily records, edits, and publishes video and presentation content. |
| |
• | Qumu Quick Capture is a browser-based applet for the simple creation of videos captured from a user's computer screen and/or webcam. |
| |
• | Qumu's encoder control facilitates live encoding and can leverage popular encoders from multiple vendors. |
| |
• | Qumu also integrates with videoconferencing systems or Unified Communication software to enable their use as “studios” for the creation of live or on-demand video content. |
| |
• | Qumu’s Creator provides ease of use for anyone to create slides and video at the desktop to produce their own rich content. |
Video Management
Qumu’s platform is an enterprise scalable solution that provides central control for all video applications, content and resources involved in the production and delivery of enterprise video. Video Control Center manages both live streamed video and video on-demand workflows. This comprehensive business video platform includes numerous industry leading features:
| |
• | Patent pending Qumu Pathfinder technology for intelligent routing to multiple device types with different bitrates, enabling more efficient use of the network and improved user experience. |
| |
• | Qumu Speech Search for searching and indexing the spoken dialogue within video programs, greatly reducing time-to-knowledge. |
| |
• | Live Broadcast Console for managing and deploying live streamed videos across an organization. |
| |
• | Broad and deep security capabilities encompassing single-sign-on ("SSO"), Active Directory/LDAP integration, and Security Assertion Markup Language ("SAML") that make it easy to create a secure video application and network based on the enterprise's existing security standards. |
Video Delivery
| |
• | The combination of Pathfinder with Qumu’s VideoNet Edge software creates a unique, highly secure, fault tolerant video delivery network with advanced streaming and caching features to provide outstanding performance for an unlimited number of users. By ensuring that only one stream crosses the WAN on its way to viewers in remote locations, VideoNet Edge minimizes the strain placed on the network by live webcasting or video on demand. VideoNet Edge can work as the sole distribution platform for video or in conjunction with other enterprise or internet-based content distribution networks (“CDNs”). Qumu VideoNet Edge provides caching of H.264/MPEG-4, Windows Media & Flash video, Video on Demand and live broadcast content, reducing traffic from the centrally-located origin server. Importantly, Qumu offers VideoNet Edge software in a variety of form factors (Windows Software, virtual machine, appliance, and integrated with Citrix CloudBridge and Riverbed VSP) to provide customers with the most deployment options. |
| |
• | Qumu VideoNet Edge software solutions can federate existing CDNs into a single system for intranet and internet content distribution of video and related media assets. The federation capability includes Internet-based CDNs like Akamai and Amazon CloudFront as well as intranet based devices like Riverbed Steelhead, Cisco ACNS/WaaS/CDS, and Blue Coat Director. This federation capability allows customers and partners to execute an “embrace and replace” strategy for upgrading their networks as opposed to “rip and replace” from other vendors. |
| |
• | Qumu Secure Download allows video to be securely delivered to mobile devices, viewed offline, and managed/disposed automatically based on prescribed policies. |
Mobility and Integration
| |
• | Qumu provides Mobile Apps for iOS, Android and Windows phones and tablets. The apps are complete out-of-the-box native video applications built using the Qumu Mobile SDKs. Customers can also work with Qumu Professional Services to create fully branded applications accessing Qumu's video infrastructure. Qumu’s HTML5-based video portal also provides native support for all device platforms. |
| |
• | Qumu provides integration between its mobile apps and leading mobile device management/mobile application management ("MDM/MAM") platforms such as Good Technology and XenMobile to ensure that Qumu's solutions work within the environments its customers are investing in for mobile security. |
| |
• | Qumu integrates with a variety of key business applications and infrastructure capabilities to enable organizations to employ video in any work context required. Qumu offers integration with Microsoft SharePoint and Lync as well as with Office365; IBM Connections and IBM WebSphere; Jive and other collaborative and social platforms. Qumu continues to work with partners and integrators to extend video functionality through the use of its REST APIs. Qumu also integrates with Citrix capabilities such as XenApp and XenDesktop, enabling Qumu video to be delivered to thick or thin clients managed within a Citrix virtual desktop infrastructure. |
Externalizing Video for Maximum Reach and Impact
The Qumu platform in a cloud deployment allows SaaS enabled customers to easily create video and rich media presentations and deliver video seamlessly to customers, partners, and employees. Cloud deployments allow organizations worldwide to rapidly and clearly present their messages and drive business opportunities through the integration of video with their web sites and their marketing and campaign automation platforms.
The Qumu platform in a cloud delivery brings the power of Qumu video to organizations that do not wish to make infrastructure investments to own and support their applications. Instead, Qumu provides the following capabilities that are easily purchased, implemented, and available through the web browser:
| |
• | Create rich media with the Qumu platform in minutes - Qumu's customers can capture video and easily integrate it with PowerPoint slides to ensure that messages are delivered and understood; provide high quality sales enablement on a regular basis from the desktop; and broadcast news about products and services to partners and customers every week. |
| |
• | Embed and share Qumu content easily with nearly any application - video “widgets” can be embedded, played, and tracked within any external application, ranging from web sites, to e-mail offers, to campaigns managed and executed by platforms like Eloqua and Salesforce.com. Analytics on origin and viewership are easily captured and integrated back for targeted marketing and sales. |
| |
• | Quickly create and deliver video for both live and on-demand - organizations that purchase Qumu's cloud platform to support a variety of live broadcasts and on-demand scenarios, and the platform enables both to be executed and managed easily whenever desired. Video and content created and captured is managed within the cloud platform resident on IBM SoftLayer, thus providing market leading security and compliance for users. |
| |
• | Support an unlimited number of users - Qumu's cloud platform scales easily with a customer's needs, enabling organizations to create rich video presentations for 100's or to drive high performance video marketing campaigns to many thousands. Video is also transcoded automatically to support any user, format, or device for viewing. |
Marketing and Distribution
Qumu’s solutions serve a growing customer base of large enterprises across a wide range of vertical and horizontal markets. Qumu has primarily targeted enterprises with 10,000+ employees and a history of video use for corporate communications. Beginning in 2014, Qumu increased its efforts and ability in targeting mid-size businesses with less than 10,000 employees by promoting the new cloud deployment model.
Qumu serves its customer base via direct sales and channel partners offering a variety of deployment methodologies and business models to meet customer demand including software, software on server appliance, software-enabled devices, SaaS and managed services. During 2014, Qumu increased its focus and investment on channel and technology partners to expand the reach of the Company’s solutions.
In 2015, Qumu was selected as a leader in the industry by three leading industry analysts:
| |
• | Gartner selected Qumu as a leader in their Magic Quadrant for Enterprise Video Content Management. |
| |
• | Forrester selected Qumu as a leader in their Forrester Wave report for Enterprise Webcast, Enterprise Video Portal, and Enterprise Webcast and Video Portal combined Wave. |
| |
• | Aragon Research named Qumu a leader in their Video Content Management report. |
These selections are visible proof points in the market that had a positive impact on Qumu’s market awareness and lead generation activities.
Qumu sells products and services internationally through its U.S. operation and its subsidiaries in Europe and Japan. International sales comprised approximately 27%, 15% and 25% of revenues for the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Customers in the United Kingdom, where Kulu Valley is located, are a significant source of international sales.
Competition
Major competitors of Qumu's include Kaltura, Kontiki, Cisco, Polycom, vBrick, Brightcove and MediaPlatform. Due to Qumu's unique focus on a complete video infrastructure that includes support for mobile devices and existing IT infrastructure, Qumu believes it is able to compete effectively with these competitors. Qumu also differentiates itself from its competitors through its video delivery technology and flexibility as to solution deployment and service options.
Research and Development
Qumu develops its software internally and also licenses or purchases the intellectual property ownership rights of programs developed by others with license or technology transfer agreements that may obligate Qumu to pay a flat license fee or royalties, typically based on a dollar amount per unit shipped or a percentage of the revenue generated by those programs.
As of December 31, 2015, the Company employed 57 employees in research and development. This staff engages in research and development of new products and enhancements to existing products. In addition, Qumu partners with third parties to utilize their competencies in creating products to enhance its product offerings.
Backlog of Contracted Commitments
The Company's contracted commitment backlog was $33.4 million at December 31, 2015 compared to $31.6 million at December 31, 2014. The Company defines contracted commitments as the dollar value of signed non-cancellable customer purchase commitments. Of the total at December 31, 2015, the Company expects to recognize between $20.0 million and $22.0 million as revenue during the year ended December 31, 2016. Actual amounts could differ depending on timing of customer deployments and other factors.
Intellectual Property and Government Regulation
Qumu currently maintains two U.S. patents and has three non-provisional utility patent applications pending in the U.S. Further, Qumu protects the proprietary nature of its software primarily through copyright and license agreements. It is Qumu's policy to protect the proprietary nature of its newly developed products whenever they are likely to become significant sources of revenue. No assurance can be given that Qumu will be able to obtain patent or other protection for its products. In addition, Qumu has registered and may in the future register trademarks and other marks used in its business.
As the number of Qumu's products increases and the functionality of those products expand, Qumu believes that it may become increasingly subject to attempts by others to duplicate its proprietary technology and to the possibility of infringement of its patents. In addition, although Qumu does not believe that any of its products infringe on the rights of others, third parties have claimed, and may in the future claim, Qumu's products infringe on their rights and these third parties may assert infringement claims against Qumu in the future. Qumu may litigate to enforce patents issued to it and to defend against claimed infringement of the rights of others or to determine the ownership, scope, or validity of Qumu's proprietary rights and the rights of others. Any claim of infringement against Qumu could involve significant liabilities to third parties, could require Qumu to seek licenses from third parties and could prevent Qumu from developing, selling or using its products.
The Company is the owner of various trademarks and trade names referenced in this Annual Report on Form 10-K including: "Qumu," "VideoNet Edge" and "Pathfinder." Solely for convenience, the trademarks and trade names in this Report are referred to without the ® and TM symbols, but such references should not be construed as any indicator that the Company or the other respective owners will not assert, to the fullest extent under applicable law, its or their rights thereto.
Employees
As of December 31, 2015, the Company had 192 employees, of which 57 were involved in research and development, 43 in service and support, 61 in sales and marketing, and 31 in administration and management. None of Qumu's employees are represented by a labor union or covered by a collective bargaining agreement.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
If any of the following risks actually occur, our results of operations, cash flows and the market price of our common stock could be negatively impacted. Although we believe that we have identified and discussed below the key risk factors affecting our business, there may be additional risks and uncertainties that are not presently known or that are not currently believed to be significant that may adversely affect our performance or financial condition. Any forecast regarding our future performance, including, but not limited to, forecasts regarding estimated bookings, revenue, or cash flow from our operating activities, are forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements reflect various assumptions and are subject to significant uncertainties and risks that could cause the actual results to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statement, including the risks reflected in the risk factors set forth below. Consequently, no forward-looking statement can be guaranteed and the variation of actual results or events from such statements may be material and adverse.
The markets for video content and software to manage video content are each in early stages of development. If this market does not develop or develops more slowly than we expect, our revenues may decline or fail to grow.
With the sale of the disc publishing business on July 1, 2014, we now derive all of our revenues from providing video content management software. The use of video as a mainstream communication and collaboration tool and the market for video content management software is in an early stage of development, and it is uncertain whether this use of video will achieve high levels of acceptance. Widespread acceptance and use of video in the enterprise is critical to our future growth and success. Likewise, it is uncertain whether video content management software will achieve high levels of demand and market acceptance. Our success will depend on enterprises adopting video as a tool and upon enterprise demand for software to help them capture, organize and distribute this content.
Some customers may be reluctant or unwilling to use video as a tool within the enterprise for a number of reasons, including lack of perceived benefit of this new method of communication and existing investments in other enterprise-wide communications tools. Further, even if customers are using video as a tool, these customers may choose to rely upon their own IT infrastructure and resources to manage their video content. Because many companies generally are predisposed to maintaining control of their IT systems and infrastructure, there may be resistance to using software as a service provided by a third party. Privacy concerns and transition costs are also factors that may affect a potential customer’s decision to subscribe to an external solution.
Additional factors that may limit market acceptance of our video content management software include:
| |
• | competitive dynamics may cause pricing levels to change as the market matures and cause customers to seek out lower priced alternatives to our video content management software or force us to reduce the prices we charge for our products or services; or |
| |
• | existing and new market participants may introduce new types of solutions and different approaches to enable enterprises to address their enterprise communications or video communications needs and these disruptive technologies may reduce demand for our video content management software. |
If customers do not perceive the benefits of our video content management software, or if customers are unwilling to accept video content as an alternative to other more traditional forms of enterprise communication, the market for our software might not continue to develop or might develop more slowly than we expect, either of which would significantly adversely affect our revenues and growth prospects.
To compete effectively, we must continually improve existing products and introduce new products that achieve market acceptance.
The software industry in general, and in particular, software targeted to a new and developing market like enterprise video content management, is characterized by rapid technological changes, evolving industry standards, changing customer requirements, and frequent new product and service introductions and enhancements. The introduction of products using new technologies or the adoption of new industry standards can make our existing products, or products under development, obsolete or unmarketable. If these technologies are patented or proprietary to our competitors, we may not be able to access these technologies. In order to remain competitive and increase sales, we must anticipate and adapt to these rapidly changing technologies, enhance our existing products and introduce new products to address the changing demands of our customers. If we fail to anticipate or respond to technological developments or customer requirements, or if we are significantly delayed in developing and introducing products, our revenues will decline.
The process of developing new technology is complex and uncertain, and if we fail to accurately predict customers’ changing needs and emerging technological trends, our business could be harmed. We must commit significant resources and may incur obligations (such as royalty obligations) to develop new products and features before knowing whether our investments will result in products the market will accept and without knowing the levels of revenue, if any, that may be derived from these products. Although we expect to continue to invest substantial resources in product development activities, our efforts to achieve and maintain profitability will require us to be selective and focused with our research and development expenditures. Some of our competitors have greater engineering and product development resources than we have, allowing them to develop a greater number of products or improvements or to develop them more quickly.
If we fail to anticipate or respond in a cost-effective and timely manner to technological developments, changes in industry standards or customer requirements, or if we experience any significant delays in the development or introduction of new products or improvements to existing products, our business, operating results and financial condition could be affected adversely.
If we do not generate sufficient cash flow to fund our operations, we may need additional capital and any additional capital we seek may not be available in the amount or at the time we need it.
In the year ended December 31, 2015, we had an operating loss of $29.4 million, used $23.9 million of net cash in continuing operating activities, and ended 2015 with $13.3 million in cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities. In the third quarter of 2015, we implemented a significant expense reduction program that we believe will allow us to attain our goal of being cash flow breakeven for the second half of 2016.
However, if we are not able to become cash flow breakeven for the second half of 2016 by increasing revenue and controlling expenses, we will need to raise funds in the future to execute our business plan and pursue our growth objectives.
If we raise funds in the future, we cannot assure you that additional financing will be available in the amount or at the time we need it, or that it will be available on acceptable terms or at all. We may obtain future additional financing by incurring indebtedness or from an offering of our equity securities or both.
If we raise additional equity financing, our shareholders may experience significant dilution of their ownership interests and the value of shares of our common stock could decline. Our efforts to raise additional funds from the sale of equity may be hampered by the currently depressed trading price of our common stock. New investors may demand rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of existing holders of common stock. If we raise additional funds by incurring debt, we could incur significant expense to service the debt and we may be required to accept covenants that restrict our ability to incur additional indebtedness, that force us to maintain specified liquidity or other ratios, or that otherwise could affect the manner in which we
conduct our business. If we cannot timely raise any needed funds, we may be forced to make further substantial reductions in our operating expenses, which could limit our sales and marketing efforts, adversely affect our ability to attract and retain qualified personnel, limit our ability to develop and enhance our solutions, make it more difficult for us to respond to competitive pressures or unanticipated working capital requirements, and otherwise adversely affect our ability to pursue our growth objectives.
We have limited operating history with our video content software management business, which may make evaluating our business and prospects difficult.
With our acquisition of Qumu, Inc. in October 2011, we began our video content management business. Prior to the acquisition of Qumu, Inc. and through July 1, 2014, we also operated the disc publishing business. On October 3, 2014, we acquired Kulu Valley Ltd., a private limited company incorporated in England and Wales, to add its cloud-based video content creation capabilities and expanded market reach to include external use cases. As a result, we have a limited history with our video content software management business and an even more limited history with the standalone operation of our video content software management business. Accordingly, our historical financial results are not necessarily indicative of the future financial condition or results of operations of our video content management business. This limited history may make it difficult for shareholders, prospective investors, analysts and others to evaluate our business and prospects given the risks and uncertainties that we face as a relatively early stage, high technology company entering a new and rapidly evolving market.
We face intense competition and such competition may result in price reductions, lower gross profits and loss of market share.
Our products face intense competition, both from other products and from other technologies, both in the U.S. and in international markets. We compete with others such as Kaltura, Kontiki, Cisco, Polycom, vBrick, Brightcove and MediaPlatform who deliver video content to businesses. Further, because some prospective customers may choose to rely upon their own IT infrastructure and resources to manage their video content, we compete with customer-created solutions for video content management. We expect the intensity of competition we face to increase in the future from other established and emerging companies.
Many of our competitors have greater resources than we do, including greater sales, product development, marketing, financial, technical or engineering resources. In addition, because our enterprise video content management software business is relatively new with a limited operating history, our target customers may prefer to purchase software products that are critical to their business from one of our larger, more established competitors.
To remain competitive, we believe that we must continue to provide:
| |
• | technologically advanced products and solutions that anticipate and satisfy the demands of end-users; |
| |
• | continuing advancements or innovations in our product offerings, including products with price-performance advantages or value-added features in security, reliability or other key areas of customer interest; |
| |
• | innovations in video content creation, management, delivery and user experience; |
| |
• | a responsive and effective sales force; |
| |
• | a dependable and efficient sales distribution network; |
| |
• | superior customer service; and |
| |
• | high levels of quality and reliability. |
We cannot assure you that we will be able to compete successfully against our current or future competitors. Competition may result in price reductions, lower gross profit margins, increased discounts to customers and loss of market share, and could require increased spending by us on research and development, sales and marketing and customer support.
We encounter long sales cycles with our enterprise video solutions, which could adversely affect our operating results in a given period.
Our ability to increase revenues and achieve profitability depends, in large part, on widespread acceptance of our enterprise video content management software products by large businesses and other organizations. As we target our sales efforts at these customers, we face greater costs, longer sales cycles and less predictability in completing sales. In the large enterprise market, the customer’s decision to use our products may be an enterprise-wide decision and, therefore, these types of sales require us to provide greater levels of education regarding the use and benefits of our applications. Further, given the constant innovation with our industry and our products, customers may delay purchasing decisions until certain features or products in development are brought to market. Longer sales cycles could cause our operating and financial results to suffer in a given period.
Adverse economic conditions, particularly those affecting our customers have harmed and may continue to harm our business.
Unfavorable changes in economic conditions, including recession, inflation, lack of access to capital, lack of consumer confidence or other changes have resulted and may continue to result in lower spending among our customers and target customers.
Further, we sell our products throughout the United States, as well as in several international countries to commercial and government customers. Our business may be adversely affected by factors in the United States and other countries such as disruptions in financial markets, reductions in government spending, or downturns in economic activity in specific countries or regions, or in the various industries in which we operate; social, political or labor conditions in specific countries or regions; or adverse changes in the availability and cost of capital, interest rates, tax rates, or regulations. These factors are beyond our control, but may result in further decreases in spending among customers and softening demand for our products.
Further, challenging economic conditions also may impair the ability of our customers to pay for products and services they have purchased. As a result, our cash flow may be negatively impacted and our allowance for doubtful accounts and write-offs of accounts receivable may increase.
Our sales will decline, and our business will be materially harmed, if our sales and marketing efforts are not effective.
We will need to continue to optimize our sales infrastructure in order to grow our customer base and our business. Identifying and recruiting qualified personnel and training them in the use and functionality of our software requires significant time, expense and attention. It can take six months or longer before our sales representatives are fully-trained and productive. If we are unable to hire, develop and retain talented sales personnel or if new sales personnel are unable to achieve desired productivity levels in a reasonable period of time, we may not be able to realize the expected benefits of this investment or increase our revenues. We also intend to expand new sales models that focus on different sales strategies tailored to different customer types. Our business may be adversely affected if our efforts to train our internal sales force or execute our selling strategies do not generate a corresponding increase in revenues.
For sales that are made to customers through our channel partners, we depend on these businesses to provide effective sales and marketing support to our products. Our channel partners are independent businesses that we do not control. Our agreements with channel partners do not contain requirements that a certain percentage of such parties’ sales are of our products. These channel partners may choose to devote their efforts to other products in different markets or reduce or fail to devote the resources to provide effective sales and marketing support of our products, any of which could harm our business by reducing sales to customers.
We believe that our future growth and success will depend upon the success of our internal sales and marketing efforts as well as those of our channel partners.
Competition for highly skilled personnel is intense and if we fail to attract and retain talented employees, we may fail to compete effectively.
Our future success depends, in significant part, on our continuing ability to identify, hire, develop, motivate, and retain highly skilled personnel for all areas of our organization. Competition in our industry for qualified employees, particularly in senior management, product development and sales, is intense. In addition, our compensation arrangements, such as our equity award programs, may not always be successful in attracting new employees and retaining and motivating our existing employees given the high demand for these employees from other employers. Our ability to compete effectively depends on our ability to attract new employees and to retain and motivate our existing employees.
Our enterprise video content management software products must be successfully integrated into our customers’ information technology environments and workflows and changes to these environments, workflows or unforeseen combinations of technologies may harm our customers’ experience in using our software products.
A significant portion of our sales are made into applications that require our enterprise video content management software products to be integrated into other enterprise workflows, enterprise information technology environments or software functionalities. Any significant changes to enterprise workflows, IT environments or software programs may limit the use or functionality of or demand for our products. As our customers advance technologically, we must be able to effectively integrate our products to remain competitive. Further, current and potential customers may choose to use products offered by our competitors or may not purchase our products if our products would require changes in their existing enterprise workflows, IT environments or software.
The growth and functionality of our enterprise video content management software products depend upon the solution’s effective operation with mobile operating systems and computer networks.
Our products are currently compatible with various mobile operating systems including the iOS, Windows Mobile and Android operating systems. The functionality of our products depends upon the continued interoperability of these products with popular mobile operating systems. Any changes in these systems that degrade our products’ functionality or give preferential treatment to competitive offerings could adversely affect the operability and usage of our video management software products on mobile devices. Additionally, in order to deliver a high quality user experience, it is important that our products work well with a range of mobile technologies, systems, and networks. We may not be successful in keeping pace with changes in mobile technologies, operating systems, or networks or in developing products that operate effectively within existing or future technologies, systems, and networks. Further, any significant changes to mobile operating systems by their respective developers may prevent our products from working properly or at all on these systems. In the event that it is more difficult for users to access content delivered by our solutions to their mobile devices, if our products do not operate effectively within the most popular operating systems or if popular mobile devices do not offer a high quality user experience, sales of and customer demand for our software products could be harmed.
Any failure of major elements of our products could lead to significant disruptions in the ability to serve customers, which could damage our reputation, reduce our revenues or otherwise harm our business.
Our business is dependent upon providing customers with fast, efficient and reliable services. A reduction in the performance, reliability or availability of required network infrastructure may harm our ability to distribute content to our customers, as well as our reputation and ability to attract and retain customers. Our content management software solutions and operations are susceptible to, and could be damaged or interrupted by outages caused by fire, flood, power loss, telecommunications failure, Internet or mobile network breakdown, earthquake and similar events. Our solutions are also subject to human error, security breaches, power losses, computer viruses, break-ins, “denial of service” attacks, sabotage, intentional acts of vandalism and tampering designed to disrupt our computer systems and network communications. Our failure to protect our network against damage from any of these events could harm our business.
Our operations also depend on web browsers, ISPs (Internet service providers) and mobile networks to provide our customers’ end-users with access to websites, streaming and mobile content. Many of these providers have experienced outages in the past, and could experience outages, delays and other difficulties due to system failures unrelated to our solutions. Any such outage, delay or difficulty could adversely affect our ability to effectively provide our products and services, which would harm our business.
If we lose access to third-party licenses, our software product development and production may be delayed or we may incur additional expense to modify our products or products in development.
Some of our solutions contain software licensed from third parties. Third-party licensing arrangements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including:
| |
• | undetected errors or unauthorized use of another person’s code in the third party’s software; |
| |
• | disagreement over the scope of the license and other key terms, such as royalties payable; |
| |
• | infringement actions brought by third-party licensees; |
| |
• | that third parties will create solutions that directly compete with our products; and |
| |
• | termination or expiration of the license. |
Because of these risks, some of these licenses may not be available to us in the future on terms that are acceptable to us or allow our products to remain competitive. The loss of these licenses or the inability to maintain any of them on commercially acceptable terms could delay development of future products or impair the functionality or enhancement of existing products, leading to increased expense associated with licenses of third-party software or development of alternative software to provide comparable functionality for our existing products and modification of our existing products. Further, if we lose or are unable to maintain any of these third-party licenses or are required to modify software obtained under third-party licenses, it could delay the release of new products, delay enhancements to our existing products or delay sales of our existing products. Any delays could result in loss of competitive position, loss of sales and loss of customer confidence, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
If the limited amount of open source software that is incorporated into our products were to become unavailable or if we violate the terms of open source licenses, it could adversely affect sales of our products, which could disrupt our business and harm our financial results.
Our products incorporate a limited amount of “open source” software. Open source software is made available to us and to the public by its authors or other third parties under licenses that impose certain obligations on licensees that re-distribute or make
derivative works of the open source software. We may not be able to replace the functionality provided by the open source software currently incorporated in our products if that software becomes unavailable, obsolete or incompatible with future versions of our products. In addition, we must carefully monitor our compliance with the licensing requirements applicable to that open source software. If we have failed or if in the future we fail to comply with the applicable license requirements, we might lose the right to use the subject open source software. The terms of some open source licenses would require us to give our customers significant rights to open source software that is subject to those licenses and is incorporated in our products. This would include the right to obtain from us the source code form of that open source software, and the right to use, modify and distribute that open source software to others. We may be required to provide these rights to customers on a royalty-free basis. Those rights might also extend to modifications and additions we make to the subject open source software. That open source software, and those modifications and additions, also might be obtained by our competitors and used in competing products.
The enforceability and interpretation of open source licenses remains uncertain under applicable law. Unfavorable court decisions could require us to replace open source software incorporated in our products. In some cases this might require us to obtain licenses to commercial software under terms that restrict our use of that commercial software and require us to pay royalties. In some cases we might need to redesign our software products, or to discontinue the sale of our software products if a redesign could not be accomplished on a timely basis. These same consequences result if our use of any open source software or commercial software is found to infringe any intellectual property right of another party. Any of these occurrences would harm our business, operating results and financial condition.
We sell a significant portion of our products internationally, which exposes us to risks associated with international operations.
We sell a significant amount of our products to customers outside the United States, particularly in Europe and Asia. International sales accounted for 27% of our revenues for the year ended December 31, 2015, 15% of our revenues for the year ended December 31, 2014 and 25% of our revenues for the year ended December 31, 2013. We expect that sales to international customers, including customers in Europe and Asia, will continue to account for a significant portion of our net sales. Sales outside the United States involve the following risks, among others:
| |
• | international governments may impose tariffs, quotas and taxes; |
| |
• | the demand for our products will depend, in part, on local economic health; |
| |
• | political and economic instability may reduce demand for our products; |
| |
• | restrictions on the export or import of technology may reduce or eliminate our ability to sell in certain markets; |
| |
• | potentially limited intellectual property protection in certain countries may limit our recourse against infringing products or cause us to refrain from selling in certain markets; |
| |
• | potential difficulties in managing our international operations; |
| |
• | the burden and cost of complying with a variety of international laws, including those relating to data security and privacy; |
| |
• | we may decide to price our products in foreign currency denominations; |
| |
• | our contracts with international channel partners cannot fully protect us against political and economic instability; |
| |
• | potential difficulties in collecting receivables; and |
| |
• | we may not be able to control our international channel partners’ efforts on our behalf. |
The financial results of our non-U.S. subsidiaries are translated into U.S. dollars for consolidation with our overall financial results. Currency translations and fluctuations may adversely affect the financial performance of our consolidated operations. Currency fluctuations may also increase the relative price of our product in international markets and thereby could also cause our products to become less affordable or less price competitive than those of international manufacturers. These risks associated with international operations may have a material adverse effect on our revenue from or costs associated with international sales.
If our domestic or international intellectual property rights are not adequately protected, others may offer products similar to ours or independently develop the same or similar technologies or otherwise obtain access to our technology and trade secrets which could depress our product selling prices and gross profit or result in loss of market share.
We believe that protecting our proprietary technology is important to our success and competitive positioning. In addition to common law intellectual property rights, we rely on patents, trade secrets, trademarks, copyrights, know-how, license agreements and contractual provisions to establish and protect our intellectual property rights. However, these legal means afford us only limited protection and may not adequately protect our rights or remedies to gain or keep any advantages we may have over our competitors.
Our competitors, who may have or could develop or acquire significant resources, may make substantial investments in competing technologies, or may apply for and obtain patents that will prevent, limit or interfere with our ability to develop or market our products. Further, although we do not believe that any of our products infringe on the rights of others, third parties have claimed, and may claim in the future, that our products infringe on their rights, and these third parties may assert infringement claims against us in the future.
Costly litigation may be necessary to enforce patents issued to us, to protect trade secrets or “know-how” we own, to defend us against claimed infringement of the rights of others or to determine the ownership, scope, or validity of our proprietary rights and the rights of others. Any claim of infringement against us may involve significant liabilities to third parties, could require us to seek licenses from third parties, and could prevent us from manufacturing, selling, or using our products. The occurrence of this litigation, or the effect of an adverse determination in any of this type of litigation, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Further, the laws of some of the countries in which our products are or may be sold may not protect our products and intellectual property to the same extent as the United States or at all. Our failure to protect or enforce our intellectual property rights could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
Changes in laws and regulations related to the Internet or changes in the Internet infrastructure itself may diminish the demand for our products, and could have a negative impact on our business.
The future success of our business depends in part upon the continued use of the Internet as a primary medium for commerce, communication and business applications. Federal, state or international government bodies or agencies have in the past adopted, and may in the future adopt, laws or regulations affecting the use of the Internet as a commercial medium. Changes in these laws or regulations could require us to modify our products in order to comply with these changes. In addition, government agencies or private organizations may begin to impose taxes, fees or other charges for accessing the Internet or commerce conducted via the Internet. These laws or charges could limit the growth of Internet-related commerce or communications generally, or result in reductions in the demand for Internet-based applications such as ours. The adoption of any laws or regulations that adversely affect the growth, popularity or use of the Internet could limit the growth of the video as a mainstream communication and collaboration tool, limit the market for video content management software generally, and limit the demand for our products.
In addition, the use of the Internet as a business tool could be adversely affected due to delays in the development or adoption of new standards and protocols to handle increased demands of Internet activity, security, reliability, cost, ease of use, accessibility, and quality of service. The performance of the Internet and its acceptance as a business tool has been adversely affected by “viruses,” “worms” and similar malicious programs and the Internet has experienced a variety of outages and other delays as a result of damage to portions of its infrastructure. If the use of the Internet is adversely affected by these issues, demand for our applications could suffer.
Expanding laws, regulations and customer requirements relating to data security and privacy may adversely affect sales of our products and result in increased compliance costs.
Our customers can use our products to collect, use and store personal or identifying information regarding their employees, customers and suppliers. Federal, state and international government bodies and agencies have adopted, are considering adopting, or may adopt laws and regulations regarding data security, privacy and the collection, use, storage and disclosure of personal information obtained from consumers and individuals. These laws and regulations could reduce the demand for our software products if we fail to design or enhance our products to enable our customers to comply with the privacy and security measures required by the legislation.
We also must comply with the policies, procedures and business requirements of our customers relating to data privacy and security, which can vary based upon the customer, the customer’s industry or location, and the product the customer selects, and which may be more restrictive than the privacy and security measures required by law or regulation. In particular, the European Union and many countries in Europe have stringent privacy laws and regulations, which may impact our ability to profitably operate in certain European countries or to offer products that meet the needs of customers subject to European Union privacy laws and regulations.
The costs of compliance with, and other burdens imposed by, our customers’ own requirements and the privacy and security laws and regulations that are applicable to our customers’ businesses may limit the use and adoption of our products and reduce overall demand. Non-compliance with our customers’ specific requirements may lead to termination of contracts with these customers or liabilities to the customers; non-compliance with applicable laws and regulations may lead to significant fines, penalties or liabilities.
Furthermore, privacy concerns may cause our customers’ workers to resist providing the personal data necessary to allow our customers to use our products effectively. If a customer experiences a significant data security breach involving our software products, our customers could lose confidence in our software’s ability to protect the personal information of their employees, customers and suppliers, which could cause our customers to discontinue use of our products. The loss of confidence from a significant data security breach involving our software products could hurt our reputation, cause sales and marketing challenges to existing and new customers, cause loss of market share or exacerbate competitive pressures, result in an increase in our development costs to address any potential vulnerabilities in our software products, and may result in reduced demand and revenue. Even the perception of privacy concerns, whether or not valid, may inhibit market adoption of our products in certain industries.
Domestic and international legislative and regulatory initiatives and our customers’ privacy policies and practices may adversely affect our customers’ ability to process, handle, store, use and transmit demographic and personal information from their employees, customers and suppliers, which could reduce demand for our products.
In addition to government activity, privacy advocacy groups and the technology and other industries are considering various new, additional or different self-regulatory standards that may place additional burdens on our software products. If the processing of personal information were to be curtailed in this manner, our software products would be less effective, which may reduce demand for our products and adversely affect our business.
We have identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting. These material weaknesses, if not corrected, could affect the reliability of our financial statements and have other adverse consequences.
In connection with the audit of our consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2015, we have concluded that there are material weaknesses relating to our internal control over financial reporting. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the company’s annual or interim consolidated financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
We did not maintain effective risk assessment and monitoring processes. Specifically, with respect to our risk assessment process, we did not adequately identify and analyze changes in the business and personnel and implement effective process level controls and monitoring activities that are responsive to those changes and aligned with our financial reporting objectives. Additionally, our risk assessment process did not adequately evaluate the impact of information technology control deficiencies that affect the design and operating effectiveness of controls related to the completeness and accuracy of underlying data included in system generated reports. With respect to our monitoring process, we did not design and maintain effective controls for the timely identification, evaluation, communication and remediation of internal control deficiencies.
Additionally as it relates to specific control activities: The design of our controls were inadequate to ensure that a complete population of manual journal entries had been appropriately identified and subjected to appropriate levels of review and approval. The design and operating effectiveness of our controls were inadequate to ensure that account reconciliations were consistently performed, that support was retained, and that reconciliations were approved to ensure the balances were complete and accurate. We did not maintain effective controls over the accuracy and appropriateness of revenue entries recorded to the general ledger. Specifically, we did not maintain adequate documentation to ensure that all entries had been subject to an appropriate level of review and approval.
As a result, a reasonable possibility exists that material misstatements in the Company’s financial statements would not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. For additional information on these matters, see Part II, Item 9A of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. As a result of these material weaknesses, management has determined that our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting were not effective as of December 31, 2015.
In light of the material weaknesses identified, we performed additional analysis and other post-closing procedures to ensure that our consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods disclosed in conformity with U.S. GAAP. We are in the process of implementing our remediation plans. During 2015, we hired a new chief financial officer and corporate controller, created and hired for the new role of SEC reporting and compliance manager, and hired additional accounting personnel over the past six months. Additionally, the Company is expecting to complete the implementation of new financial reporting software by the end of the third quarter of 2016. We expect that a substantial portion of our remediation efforts will be completed by the end of the third quarter of 2016, with final testing of effectiveness of new and enhanced controls occurring at the end of 2016. We expect to incur additional costs remediating these material weaknesses.
Although we believe we are taking appropriate actions to remediate the control deficiencies we identified and to strengthen our internal control over financial reporting, we may need to take additional measures to fully mitigate the material weaknesses,
and the measures we have taken, and expect to take, to improve our internal controls may not be sufficient to address the issues identified, to ensure that our internal controls are effective or to ensure that the identified material weaknesses will not result in a material misstatement of our annual or interim consolidated financial statements. In addition, other material weaknesses or deficiencies may be identified in the future. If we are unable to correct material weaknesses or deficiencies in internal controls in a timely manner, our ability to record, process, summarize and report financial information accurately and within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC may be adversely affected. This failure could negatively affect the market price and trading liquidity of our common stock, cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information, subject us to civil and criminal investigations and penalties, and generally materially and adversely impact our business and financial condition.
We may face circumstances in the future that could result in impairment charges, including, but not limited to, significant goodwill impairment charges.
If the fair value of any of our long-lived assets decreases as a result of an economic slowdown, a downturn in the markets where we sell products and services or a downturn in our financial performance and/or future outlook, we may be required to record an impairment charge on such assets, including goodwill.
We are required to test intangible assets with indefinite life periods for potential impairment annually and on an interim basis if there are indicators of a potential impairment. We also are required to evaluate amortizable intangible assets and fixed assets for impairment if there are indicators of a possible impairment. One potential indicator of impairment is the value of our market capitalization, or enterprise value, as compared to our net book value.
During the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company’s stock price traded at levels which caused the Company’s enterprise value, excluding any control premium, to approximate its book value, resulting in increased risk of a potential impairment of goodwill. As of December 31, 2015, the Company’s market capitalization, without a control premium, was less than its book value suggesting a possible goodwill impairment. The Company engaged a third party valuation firm to assist the Company with its goodwill impairment analysis. Based on the analysis, the Company determined its enterprise value using a discounted cash flow analysis and a comparable public company analysis, giving both equal weight, was greater than the Company’s book value by 14%. As a result, the Company concluded there was no goodwill impairment. Declines in the Company’s market capitalization or a downturn in our future financial performance and/or future outlook could require the Company to record goodwill and other impairment charges. While a goodwill impairment charge is a non-cash charge, it would have a negative impact on our results of operations.
We may experience significant quarterly and annual fluctuations in our results of operations due to a number of factors and these fluctuations may negatively impact the market price of our common stock.
Our quarterly and annual results of operations may fluctuate significantly due to a variety of factors, many of which are outside of our control. With the sale of the disc publishing business on July 1, 2014, there may be even wider fluctuations in our results of operations given the smaller size of our retained software business. This variability may lead to volatility in our stock price as research analysts and investors respond to quarterly fluctuations and this volatility may be exacerbated by the relatively illiquid nature of our common stock. In addition, comparing our results of operations on a period-to-period basis, particularly on a sequential quarterly basis, may not be meaningful. Further, a comparison to our results of operations in periods prior to our acquisition of Qumu, Inc. in October 2011 will not be meaningful. You should not rely on our past results as an indication of our future performance.
Factors that may affect our results of operations include:
| |
• | the number and mix of products and solutions sold in the period; |
| |
• | the timing and amount of our recorded revenue, which will depend upon the mix of products and solutions selected by our customers with revenue from paid-up perpetual software licenses being recognized upon delivery, revenue from term software licenses recognized over the term of the contract, and revenue from cloud-hosted services recognized over the term of the subscription agreement; |
| |
• | timing of customer purchase commitments, including the impact of long sales cycles and seasonal buying patterns; |
| |
• | variability in the size of customer purchases and the impact of large customer orders on a particular period; |
| |
• | the timing of major development projects and market launch of new products or improvements to existing products; |
| |
• | reductions in our customers’ budgets for information technology purchases and delays in their purchasing cycles, due to changing global economic or market conditions; |
| |
• | the impact to the marketplace of competitive products and pricing; |
| |
• | the timing and level of operating expenses; |
| |
• | the impact on revenue and expenses of acquisitions by us or by our competitors; |
| |
• | future accounting pronouncements or changes in our accounting policies; and |
| |
• | the impact of a recession or any other adverse global economic conditions on our business, including uncertainties that may cause a delay in entering into or a failure to enter into significant customer agreements. |
The foregoing factors are difficult to forecast, and these, as well as other factors, could adversely affect our quarterly and annual results of operations. Failure to achieve our quarterly or annual forecasts or to meet or exceed the expectations of research analysts or investors may cause our stock price to decline abruptly and significantly.
The limited liquidity for our common stock could affect your ability to sell your shares at a satisfactory price.
Our common stock is relatively illiquid. As of December 31, 2015, we had 9,188,682 shares of common stock outstanding. The average daily trading volume in our common stock, as reported by the Nasdaq Stock Market, for the 64 trading days beginning October 1, 2015 and ending December 31, 2015 was approximately 28,100 shares. A more active public market for our common stock may not develop, which could adversely affect the trading price and liquidity of our common stock. Moreover, a thin trading market for our stock could cause the market price for our common stock to fluctuate significantly more than the stock market as a whole. Without a larger float, our common stock is less liquid than the stock of companies with broader public ownership. As a result, the trading prices of our common stock have been and may continue to be more volatile. In addition, in the absence of an active public trading market, shareholders may be unable to liquidate their shares of our common stock at a satisfactory price.
Provisions of Minnesota law, our bylaws and other agreements may deter a change of control of our company and may have a possible negative effect on our stock price.
Certain provisions of Minnesota law, our bylaws and other agreements may make it more difficult for a third-party to acquire, or discourage a third-party from attempting to acquire, control of our company, including:
| |
• | the provisions of Minnesota law relating to business combinations and control share acquisitions; |
| |
• | the provisions of our bylaws regarding the business properly brought before shareholders; |
| |
• | the right of our board of directors to establish more than one class or series of shares and to fix the relative rights and preferences of any such different classes or series; |
| |
• | the provisions of our stock option plans allowing for the acceleration of vesting or payments of awards granted under the plans in the event of specified events that result in a “change in control”; and |
| |
• | the provisions of our agreements provide for severance payments to our executive officers in the event of certain terminations following a “change in control.” |
These measures could discourage or prevent a takeover of our company or changes in our management, even if an acquisition or such changes would be beneficial to our shareholders. This may have a negative effect on the price of our common stock.
Compliance with changing regulation of corporate governance and public disclosure may result in additional expenses and will constitute a larger percentage of our annual revenue than prior to the sale of the disc publishing business.
Keeping abreast of, and in compliance with, changing laws, regulations and standards relating to corporate governance and public company disclosure requirements, including the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and in particular Section 404 of that Act relating to management certification of internal controls, new disclosures relating to “conflict minerals,” the regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market have required an increased amount of management attention and external resources. We intend to invest all reasonably necessary resources to comply with evolving corporate governance and public disclosure standards, and this investment may result in increased general and administrative expenses and a diversion of management time and attention from revenue-generating activities to compliance activities. While all public companies face the costs and burdens associated with being public companies, the costs and burden of being a public company will be a significant portion of our annual revenues, which have been reduced following the sale of the disc publishing business on July 1, 2014.

Shareholders
As of February 29, 2016, there were 99 shareholders of record of Qumu's common stock.
Dividends
The Company did not pay a dividend in 2015 and 2014 and does not expect to pay a dividend in 2016. The payment by Qumu of dividends, if any, on its common stock in the future is subject to the discretion of the Board of Directors and will depend on Qumu's future earnings, financial condition, capital requirements and other relevant factors.
Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities
The Company’s Board of Directors has approved common stock repurchases of up to 3,500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. The Company has implemented a Rule 10b5-1 plan in connection with the repurchase program in order to give the Company the ability to repurchase its shares at times when it otherwise might be prevented from doing so under insider trading laws or because of self-imposed blackout periods. Shares may be purchased at prevailing market prices in the open market or in private transactions, subject to market conditions, share price, trading volume and other factors. The repurchase program may be discontinued at any time. The repurchase program has been funded to date using cash on hand. During the three months ended December 31, 2015, no repurchases were made under the repurchase program. While the current authorization remains in effect, the Company expects its primary use of cash will be to fund operations in support of the Company’s goals for revenue growth and operating margin improvement.
In addition to shares purchased under the Board authorization, the Company purchases shares of common stock held by employees who wish to tender owned shares to satisfy the exercise price or tax withholding on stock option exercises or vesting of restricted stock awards. All of the share repurchase activity included in the table below for the three months ended December 31, 2015 was associated with satisfaction of employee tax withholding requirements on vesting of restricted stock awards.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read together with the section titled “Selected Financial Data” and our audited financial statements and related notes which are included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements included in this discussion as a result of certain factors, including, but not limited to, those discussed in “Risk Factors” included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Overview
Qumu Corporation ("Qumu" or the "Company") provides the tools businesses need to create, manage, secure, deliver and measure the success of their videos. The Company's innovative solutions release the power in video to engage and empower employees, partners and clients. Organizations around the world realize the greatest possible value from video they create and publish. Whatever the audience size, viewer device or network configuration, the Company's solutions are how business does video.
The Company generates revenue through the sale of enterprise video content management software solutions, hardware, maintenance and support, and professional and other services. Software sales may take the form of a perpetual software license, a term software license or a cloud-hosted software as a service (SaaS). Software licenses and appliances revenue includes sales of perpetual software licenses and hardware. Service revenue includes term software licenses, SaaS, maintenance and support, and professional and other services.
For the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, the Company generated revenues of $34.5 million, $26.5 million and $17.7 million, respectively. Subscription, maintenance and support revenue increased 54% to $18.8 million from $12.2 million in 2015 as the Company continues to advance its transition to more revenue that is recurring in nature from primarily perpetual software license revenue.
History
The Company was founded in 1978, incorporated as IXI, Inc. in Minnesota in February 1987 and changed its name to Rimage Corporation in April 1988. From 1995 to 2011, the Company focused its business on the development and sale of its CD recordable publishing systems and DVD recordable publishing systems.
In response to declines in the disc publishing business due to technology substitutions and the rise of video as a communication and collaboration tool, in October 2011, the Company acquired Qumu, Inc., a leader in the enterprise video content management software market and changed its name to Qumu Corporation in September 2013. Qumu completed the transition to enterprise video content management software company in July 2014, when the Company closed on the sale of its disc publishing assets to Equus Holdings, Inc. and Redwood Acquisition, Inc. (now known as Rimage Corporation). As a result, the disc publishing business was classified as held for sale and qualified for presentation as discontinued operations effective with the reporting of the Company's financial results for the second quarter of 2014.
On October 3, 2014, the Company acquired Kulu Valley Ltd., a private limited company incorporated in England and Wales (“Kulu Valley”). The acquisition was made to expand Qumu’s addressable market through the offering of Kulu Valley’s best-in-class video content creation capabilities and easy-to-deploy pure cloud solution, and provides Kulu Valley’s customers with access to industry leading video content management and delivery capability.
The results of the discontinued disc publishing business and associated financial impacts from the sale of this business have been presented as discontinued operations for the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013. No general corporate charges were allocated to the discontinued business. The assets and liabilities of the discontinued business are presented on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as assets and liabilities from discontinued operations. Other than consolidated amounts reflecting operating results and balances for both the continuing and discontinued operations, all remaining amounts presented in the accompanying consolidated financial statements reflect the financial results and financial position of the Company's continuing enterprise video content management software business.
The following discussion of year-to-year changes and trends in financial statement results under "Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” aligns with the financial statement presentation described above.
Critical Accounting Policies
The discussion of the Company's financial condition and results of operations is based upon its financial statements, which are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, costs and expenses and related disclosures. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its estimates and assumptions. Management bases its estimates of the carrying value of certain assets and liabilities on historical experience and on various other assumptions that management believes to be reasonable. The Company's actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
Management believes that of the Company's significant accounting policies, which are described in the notes to our financial statements, the following accounting policies involve a greater degree of judgment, complexity and effect on materiality. A critical accounting policy is one that is both material to the presentation of our financial statements and requires management to make difficult, subjective or complex judgments for uncertain matters that could have a material effect on the Company's financial condition and results of operations. Accordingly, these are the policies management believes are the most critical to aid in fully understanding and evaluating the Company's financial condition and results of operations.
Revenue Recognition
The Company follows specific and detailed guidelines in determining the proper amount of revenue to be recorded; however, certain judgments affect the application of its revenue recognition policy.
The Company commences revenue recognition when all of the following conditions are met: there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement; the product has been delivered or the services have been provided to the customer; the collection of the fees is reasonably assured; and the amount of fees to be paid by the customer is fixed or determinable.
Revenue results are difficult to predict, and any shortfall in revenue or delay in recognizing revenue could cause the Company's operating results to vary significantly from period to period. The significant judgments for revenue recognition typically involve allocation of revenue to multiple element arrangements, which must be analyzed to determine the fair value of each element, the amount of revenue to be recognized for each element, if any, and the period and conditions under which deferred revenue should be recognized. As a result, if facts and circumstances change that affect management's current judgments, the Company's revenue could be materially different in the future.
Long-lived Assets
The Company continually monitors events and changes in circumstances that could indicate that carrying amounts of its long-lived assets, including property and equipment and intangible assets may not be recoverable. When such events or changes in circumstances occur, the Company assesses the recoverability of long-lived assets by determining whether the carrying value of such assets will be recovered through their undiscounted expected future cash flows. If the future undiscounted cash flows are less than the carrying amount of these assets, the Company recognizes an impairment loss based on the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value of the assets.
Goodwill
The Company records goodwill when consideration paid in a purchase acquisition exceeds the fair value of the net tangible assets and the identified intangible assets acquired. Goodwill is not amortized, but rather is tested for impairment annually or more frequently if facts and circumstances warrant a review. The Company has determined that there is a single reporting unit for the purpose of goodwill impairment tests. For purposes of assessing the impairment of goodwill, the Company annually, at its fiscal year end, estimates the fair value of the reporting unit and compares this amount to the carrying value of the reporting unit. If the Company determines that the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, an impairment charge is recognized in the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its fair value.
During the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company’s stock price traded at levels which caused the Company’s enterprise value, excluding any control premium, to approximate its book value, resulting in increased risk of a potential impairment of goodwill. As of December 31, 2015, the Company’s market capitalization, without a control premium, was less than its book value suggesting a possible goodwill impairment. The Company engaged a third party valuation firm to assist the Company with its goodwill impairment analysis. Based on the analysis, the Company determined its enterprise value using a discounted cash flow analysis and a comparable public company analysis, giving both equal weight, was greater than the Company’s book value by 14%. As a result, the Company concluded there was no goodwill impairment. While not a factor used for the December 31, 2015 goodwill impairment analysis, the Company's market capitalization increased to $48.7 million as of March 14, 2016 which was in excess of its book value at December 31, 2015 by 58%. Declines in the Company’s market capitalization could require the Company to record goodwill and other impairment charges. While a goodwill impairment charge is a non-cash charge, it would have a negative impact on the Company's results of operations.
Investment in Nonconsolidated Company
As of December 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company held an investment totaling $3.1 million in convertible preferred stock of Briefcam, Ltd. ("Briefcam") a privately-held Israeli company that develops video synopsis technology to augment security and surveillance systems to facilitate review of surveillance video. The investment is included in other non-current assets. Because Qumu's ownership interest is less than 20% and it has no other rights or privileges that enable it to exercise significant influence over the operating and financial policies of Briefcam, Qumu accounts for this equity investment using the cost method. Equity securities accounted for under the cost method are reviewed quarterly for changes in circumstances or the occurrence of events that suggest the Company’s investment may not be fully recoverable. If an unrealized loss for the investment is considered to be other-than-temporary, the loss will be recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Operations in the period the determination is made. Qumu monitors Briefcam's results of operations, business plan and capital raising activities and is not aware of any events or circumstances that would indicate a decline in the carrying value of its investment.
Stock-Based Compensation
Stock-based compensation is measured at the grant date, based on the fair value of the award, and is recognized ratably as an expense over the vesting period of the award. Determining the appropriate fair value model and calculating the fair value of stock-based payment awards require the use of subjective assumptions, including the expected life of the stock-based payment awards and stock price volatility. Management uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to value award grants and determine the related compensation expense. The assumptions used in calculating the fair value of stock-based payment awards represent management’s best estimates, but the estimates involve inherent uncertainties and the application of management judgment. As a result, if factors change and management uses different assumptions, the Company's stock-based compensation expense could be materially different in the future. The Company expects to continue to grant stock-based awards in the future, and to the extent that the Company does, its actual stock-based compensation expense recognized in future periods will likely increase.
Royalties for Third Party Technology
Royalties for third party technology are either paid in advance and capitalized as prepaid royalties or are accrued as incurred and subsequently paid. These royalties are generally expensed to cost of revenue generally at the greater of the contractual rate or an effective royalty rate based on the total projected net revenue for contracts with guaranteed minimums. Each quarter, the Company also evaluates the expected future realization of its prepaid royalties, as well as any minimum commitments not yet paid to determine amounts it deems unlikely to be realized through product sales. Any impairments or losses determined before the launch of a product are generally charged to general and administrative expense, and any impairments or losses determined post-launch are charged to cost of revenue. Unrecognized minimum royalty-based commitments are accounted for as executory contracts, and therefore, any losses on these commitments are recognized when the underlying intellectual property is abandoned (i.e., cease use) or the contractual rights to use the intellectual property are terminated.
During the quarter ended December 31, 2015, the Company recognized a loss relating to a third party license agreement of $1.2 million to general and administration expense which included the write-off of a $606,000 prepaid royalty and the accrual of the remaining $606,000 minimum royalty payments.
Income Taxes
Significant judgment is required in determining the realizability of deferred tax assets. Management must assess the likelihood that the Company's net deferred tax assets will be recovered from future taxable income, and to the extent Management believes that recovery is not likely, the Company must establish a valuation allowance. Considerations for determining the realizability of the Company's deferred tax assets primarily involve cumulative pre-tax income for financial reporting purposes, cumulative taxable income for the past three years, estimated future pre-tax income for financial reporting purposes and
estimated future taxable income from the Company's core business. Management also considers the expiration dates and amounts of net operating loss carryforwards and other tax credits, and estimate the impact of future tax deductions from the exercise of stock options. These estimates are projected through the life of the related deferred tax assets based on assumptions which Management believes to be reasonable and consistent with current operating results.
Since 2012, the Company has maintained a full valuation allowance against the Company U.S. deferred tax assets. If pretax results improve in future periods, the Company may be able to reverse the valuation allowance, which would positively impact earnings.

Revenues
The Company generates revenue through the sale of enterprise video content management software solutions, hardware, maintenance and support, and professional and other services. Software sales may take the form of a perpetual software license, a term software license or a cloud-hosted software as a service (SaaS). Software licenses and appliances revenue includes sales of perpetual software licenses and hardware. Service revenue includes term software licenses, SaaS, maintenance and support, and professional and other services.

| | 30 | % | | 50 | % |
The $7.9 million increase in total revenues from 2014 to 2015 reflects a $9.8 million increase in service revenues, partially offset by a $1.9 million decrease in software licenses and appliances revenues. The decrease in software license revenues in 2015 was largely impacted by a decrease in the value of perpetual product license contracts entered into in 2015 and converted to revenue. Revenues can vary year to year based on the type of contract the Company enters into with each customer. Contracts for perpetual software licenses, which are included in software licenses and appliances revenue, generally result in revenue recognized closer to the contract commitment date, while contracts for term software licenses and SaaS, which are included in service revenue, result in most of the revenue being recognized over the period of the contract. The $9.8 million increase in service revenues from 2014 to 2015 resulted from a $6.6 million increase in subscription, maintenance and support revenues to $18.8 million from $12.2 million driven primarily from growth in the customer base, including the favorable impact of SaaS revenues from Qumu’s acquisition of Kulu Valley effective October 3, 2014. Also contributing to the growth in
services revenue was an approximately $3.3 million increase in professional services revenues to $6.2 million from $2.9 million as Qumu assists its customers in the deployment of its growing base of enterprise video solutions.
The $8.8 million increase in total revenues from 2013 to 2014 reflects a $4.1 million increase in software licenses and appliances revenues and a $4.7 million increase in service revenues. The increase in software license revenues in 2014 was largely impacted by an increase in the value of perpetual product license contracts entered into in 2014 and converted to revenue. The increase in service revenues in 2014 resulted from a rise in maintenance and support revenues stemming primarily from growth in the customer base and higher professional services revenues. Also contributing to the increase in service revenues was the recognition of revenue from a large term-based arrangement closed in the first quarter of 2014 for which revenue is being recognized over the three-year term of the contract. The growth in service revenues was also favorably impacted by the generation in the fourth quarter of cloud-based SaaS revenues from Qumu’s acquisition of Kulu Valley effective October 3, 2014.
Future consolidated revenues will be dependent upon many factors, including the rate of adoption of the Company's software solutions in its targeted markets and whether arrangements with customers are structured as a perpetual software license, a term software license or a SaaS, which impacts the timing of revenue recognition. Other factors that will influence future consolidated revenues include the timing of customer orders, the impact of changes in economic conditions and the impact of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations.
Cost of Revenues and Gross Profit
A comparison of gross profit and gross margin by revenue category is as follows (dollars in thousands):
|
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

Gross margin: | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Software licenses and appliances | 68.8 | % | | 66.4 | % | | 59.8 | % | | 2.4 | % | | 6.6 | % | | | | |
Service | 41.8 | % | | 29.7 | % | | 57.8 | % | | 12.1 | % | | (28.1 | )% | | | | |
Total gross margin | 49.2 | % | | 45.4 | % | | 58.6 | % | | 3.8 | % | | (13.2 | )% | | | | |
The 3.8% improvement in gross margin in 2015 compared to 2014 was primarily driven by the 12.1% improvement in service gross margin primarily driven by improved economies of scale on increased service revenue; service margin also improved due to cost savings initiatives in the second half of 2015. The year ended December 31, 2015 included severance expense of $49,000 relating the cost reduction initiatives. The Company had 43 and 49 service personnel at December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.
The 13.2% decline in gross margin in 2014 compared to 2013 resulted from increased investments in customer support and professional services costs to support growth in the customer base, deployment of a growing base of software contracts and expansion of service offerings. Additionally, the sales mix shifted in 2014 compared to 2013 to include a higher concentration of lower margin hardware in perpetual license transactions. The overall growth in revenue volume in 2014 provided greater absorption of fixed service costs, partially offsetting the impact of the changes described above.
For the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, gross margins are inclusive of the impact of approximately $1.3 million, $0.7 million and $0.6 million, respectively, in amortization expense associated with intangible assets acquired as a result of the acquisition of Qumu, Inc. in the fourth quarter of 2011 and Kulu Valley in the fourth quarter of 2014. Cost of software licenses and appliances revenues in 2016 are expected to include approximately $1.4 million of amortization expense for purchased intangibles.
Future gross profit margins will fluctuate quarter to quarter and will be impacted by the rate of growth and mix of the Company's product and service offerings and foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations.

Total research and development expenses for the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013 represented 31%, 36% and 49% of revenues, respectively. The increase in expenses from 2014 to 2015 was driven primarily by increased employee costs through the addition of engineering employees from the acquisition of Kulu Valley in October 2014. The increase in expenses from 2013 to 2014 reflect an increase in project spending to support development of expanded software functionality. The year ended December 31, 2015 included severance expense of $136,000 relating to cost reduction initiatives. The Company had 57 and 61 research and development personnel at December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

Total sales and marketing expenses for the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013 represented 52%, 68% and 58% of revenues, respectively. Expenses remained flat from 2014 to 2015, as the favorable impact of an expense reduction program implemented in the 2015 third quarter was offset by additional employee costs and the allocation of corporate overhead expense in connection with the Kulu Valley operations, which included a full year of expense in 2015 compared to one quarter of expense in 2014, and severance costs incurred in 2015. The year ended December 31, 2015 included severance expense of $550,000 relating the cost reduction initiatives. The Company had 61 and 81 sales and marketing personnel at December 31,
2015 and 2014, respectively. The $7.7 million increase in expenses from 2013 to 2014 was driven by an increase in sales and marketing headcount, higher sales commissions stemming from an increase in revenues and increased spending on marketing programs to support sales growth.

Total general and administrative expenses for the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013 represented 49%, 48% and 58% of revenues, respectively. The increase in expenses from 2014 to 2015 was driven primarily by an equipment operating lease loss of $1.0 million relating to equipment the Company no longer plans to utilize as part of it managed services offerings, a loss relating to a third party license agreement of $1.2 million, and severance expense of $1.4 million relating the cost reduction and executive transition initiatives. Also contributing to the increase were non-recurring audit, legal and outside service costs in 2015 associated with transition and reorganization activities resulting from the divestiture in 2014 of the Company's disc publishing business. The Company had 31 general and administrative personnel at both December 31, 2015 and 2014.
The increase in expenses from 2013 to 2014 included costs to support corporate development activity associated with the acquisition of Kulu Valley in the fourth quarter of 2014 as well as transition activities related to separating the back office processes and systems of the Company's enterprise video content management software business from the disc publishing business, which was sold effective July 1, 2014.
Amortization of Purchased Intangibles
Operating expenses include $798,000, $652,000 and $627,000 in 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively, for the amortization of intangible assets acquired as part of the Company’s acquisition of Qumu, Inc. in October 2011 and Kulu Valley in October 2014. Operating expenses in 2016 are expected to include approximately $0.9 million of amortization expense associated with purchased intangibles, exclusive of the portion classified in cost of revenue.
Other Income, Net
The Company recognized interest income on cash and marketable securities of $7,000, $60,000 and $28,000 in 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Other income also included the net losses on foreign currency transactions of $131,000, $201,000 and $40,000 in 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively. See “Liquidity and Capital Resources” below for a discussion of changes in cash levels.
Income Taxes
The provision for income taxes represents federal, state, and foreign income taxes or income tax benefit on income or loss. For the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, net income tax benefit amounted to $839,000, $6.6 million and $3.4 million, respectively.
Income tax benefit in 2015 is primarily attributable to UK operations, which include refundable research credits. Amounts in 2014 and 2013 primarily reflect the realization of income tax benefits on losses from continuing operations as a result of income generated from discontinued operations, including the gain on sale of the disc publishing business recognized in the third quarter of 2014.
Net Income from Discontinued Operations, Net of Tax
The Company closed the sale of its disc publishing business effective July 1, 2014. As a result, net income from discontinued operations includes the financial results of the Company’s disc publishing business through June 30, 2014. Included in net
income from discontinued operations for the third quarter of 2014 is the recognition of a gain on sale of the disc publishing business of $16.2 million. This amount excludes the impact of transaction related expenses which were primarily incurred and recognized prior to the third quarter of 2014. Discontinued operations results also include non-recurring expenses incurred by the Company as a result of the sale of the disc publishing business. These expenses included third party transaction specific costs, one-time income tax related impacts and the acceleration of vesting of cash-based long-term incentive and stock-based awards payable to employees of the disc publishing business upon completion of the asset sale transaction. Non-recurring expenses and income tax related impacts amounted to approximately $9.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2014.

|
The Company expects it will be able to maintain current operations and anticipated capital expenditure requirements for at least the next 12 months through its cash reserves as well as any cash flows that may be generated from current operations. Based on revenue growth and an expense reduction program implemented in the third quarter of 2015, the Company expects that it will be cash flow breakeven for the second half of 2016.
At December 31, 2015, the Company had aggregate working capital of $9.5 million, down $23.9 million from working capital of $33.4 million at December 31, 2014. The primary contributors to the decrease in working capital were the generation of a net loss adjusted for non-cash items during the year ended December 31, 2015 of $24.2 million, purchases of property and equipment of $635,000 and principal payments on capital lease obligations of $320,000.
Financing obligations consist of capital leases related to the acquisition of computer and network equipment and furniture and other financing obligations.
The Company's primary source of cash from operating activities has been cash collections from sales of products and services to customers. The Company expects cash inflows from operating activities to be affected by increases or decreases in sales and timing of collections. The Company's primary use of cash for operating activities has been for personnel costs, payment of royalties associated with third-party software licenses and purchases of equipment to fulfill customer orders. The Company expects cash flows from operating activities to be affected by fluctuations in revenues, personnel costs and the amount and timing of royalty payments and equipment purchases as the Company continues to support the growth of the business. The amount of cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities held by the Company's international subsidiaries that is not available to fund domestic operations unless repatriated was $1.0 million as of December 31, 2015. The Company does not currently intend to repatriate the cash and related balances held by its international subsidiaries.

| | $ | (8,263 | ) |
Operating activities
Net cash used in operating activities was $23.2 million for 2015 compared to $22.6 million for 2014. The change in operating cash flows as compared to 2014 was favorably impacted by changes in year-over-year balances for receivables and prepaid
expenses and other assets offset by the unfavorable impact of a higher net loss in 2015 and unfavorable changes in year-over-year balances for accrued compensation, deferred revenue and income tax receivable. The increase in deferred revenue for each year was driven by increased deferrals of perpetual software licenses and corresponding maintenance contracts, primarily due to revenue recognition criteria and contracted deliverables not being delivered or completed. Additionally, cash used in operating activities was impacted by a $879,000 unfavorable change in cash from discontinued operations in connection with the Company's sale of its discontinued disc publishing business effective July 1, 2014.
Investing activities
Net cash provided by investing activities totaled, in the aggregate, $18.9 million for 2015 compared to net cash used of $3.2 million in 2014. Primarily driving the generation of cash in 2015 were maturities of marketable securities, net of related purchases, of $17.2 million, partially offset by purchases of property and equipment of $635,000. The $3.2 million cash provided by investing activities in 2014 resulted from the Company's receipt of proceeds from the sale of the disc publishing business of $19.7 million, significantly offset by purchases of marketable securities, net of related maturities, of $10.2 million and purchases of property and equipment of $1.1 million.
Financing activities
Financing activities used net cash of $0.2 million during 2015 and used a minimal amount of cash in the comparable period in 2014. Primarily impacting the current period use of cash were principal payments on financing obligations of $320,000, partially offset by $142,000 in proceeds from employee stock plans. Financing activities in 2014 consisted primarily of proceeds from employee stock plans.
Since October 2010, the Company’s Board of Directors has approved common stock repurchases of up to 3,500,000 shares. Shares may be purchased at prevailing market prices in the open market or in private transactions, subject to market conditions, share price, trading volume and other factors. The repurchase program has been funded to date using cash on hand and may be discontinued at any time. The Company did not repurchase any shares of its common stock under the repurchase program during the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013. As of December 31, 2015, the Company had 778,365 shares available for repurchase under the authorizations. While the current authorization remains in effect, the Company expects its primary use of cash will be to fund operations in support of the Company’s goals for revenue growth and operating margin improvement.
The Company did not declare or pay any dividends during the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013.
Contractual Obligations. The following table summarizes the Company's contractual cash obligations at December 31, 2015, and the net effect such obligations are expected to have on liquidity and cash flow in future periods. Some of the amounts included in this table are based on management's estimates and assumptions about these obligations, including their duration, the possibility of renewal, anticipated actions by third parties and other factors. Because these estimates and assumptions are necessarily subjective, the amounts the Company will actually pay in future periods may vary from those reflected in the table.

ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Foreign Currency Translation. As of December 31, 2015, the Company is exposed to market risk primarily from foreign exchange rate fluctuations of the British Pound Sterling, Japanese Yen and Singapore Dollar to the U.S. Dollar as the financial position and operating results of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries are translated into U.S. dollars for consolidation. Resulting translation adjustments are recorded as a separate component of stockholders’ equity.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
The Board of Directors and Shareholders
Qumu Corporation:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Qumu Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income (loss), stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2015. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the auditing standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Qumu Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2015 and 2014 and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2015, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2015, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO), and our report dated March 15, 2016 expressed an adverse opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
The Board of Directors and Shareholders
Qumu Corporation:
We have audited Qumu Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2015, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Qumu Corporation’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audit also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Material weaknesses were identified related to the adequacy of the Company’s risk assessment and monitoring processes as well as control activities specific to manual journal entries, account reconciliations and revenue relative to its internal control over financial reporting. These material weaknesses have been identified and included in management’s assessment. We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheets of Qumu Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income (loss), stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2015. These material weaknesses were considered in determining the nature, timing, and extent of audit tests applied in our audit of the 2015 consolidated financial statements, and this report does not affect our report dated March 15, 2016, which expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements.
In our opinion, because of the effect of the aforementioned material weaknesses on the achievement of the objectives of the control criteria, Qumu Corporation has not maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2015, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).
We do not express an opinion or any other form of assurance on management's statements referring to corrective actions taken or to be taken after December 31, 2015, relative to the aforementioned material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting.

QUMU CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1) Nature of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Nature of Business
Qumu Corporation (the "Company") provides the tools businesses need to create, manage, secure, deliver and measure the success of their videos. The Company's innovative solutions release the power in video to engage and empower employees, partners and clients. Organizations around the world realize the greatest possible value from video they create and publish. Whatever the audience size, viewer device or network configuration, the Company's solutions are how business does video.
The Company views its operations and manages its business as one segment and one reporting unit. Factors used to identify the Company's single operating segment and reporting unit include the financial information available for evaluation by the chief operating decision maker in making decisions about how to allocate resources and assess performance. The Company manages the marketing of its products and services through regional sales representatives and independent distributors in the United States and international markets.
The Company previously conducted its operations through two businesses consisting of 1) its enterprise video content management software business and 2) its disc publishing business. As further described in Note 3, on June 27, 2014, the Company's shareholders approved the sale of the disc publishing assets and on July 1, 2014, the sale was completed. As a result, effective June 27, 2014, the disc publishing business was classified as held for sale and qualified for presentation as discontinued operations effective with the reporting of the Company's financial results for the second quarter of 2014. Accordingly, effective June 27, 2014, the Company had one remaining reportable segment, the enterprise video content management software business. The operational results of the disc publishing business are presented in the “Net income from discontinued operations, net of tax” line item on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. All remaining amounts presented in the accompanying consolidated financial statements and notes reflect the financial results and financial position of the Company's continuing enterprise video content management software business, other than consolidated amounts reflecting operating results and balances for both the continuing and discontinued operations.
Certain reclassifications have been made to amounts for prior years to conform to the current year's presentation.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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 reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company’s financial instruments consist primarily of cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities, for which the current carrying amounts approximate fair market values based on quoted market prices or net asset value.
Revenue Recognition
The Company generates revenue through the sale of enterprise video content management software solutions, hardware, maintenance and support, and professional and other services. Software sales may take the form of a perpetual software license, a term software license or a cloud-hosted software as a service (SaaS). Software licenses and appliances revenue includes sales of perpetual software licenses and hardware. Service revenue includes term software licenses, SaaS, maintenance and support, and professional and other services. The Company commences revenue recognition when all of the following conditions are met: there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement; the product has been delivered or the services have been provided to the customer; the collection of the fees is reasonably assured; and the amount of fees to be paid by the customer is fixed or determinable. More specifically:
| |
• | Revenue from perpetual software licenses and hardware are generally recognized when the product has been delivered. |
| |
• | Revenue from subscription, maintenance and support, which includes term software licenses, cloud-hosted software as a service and maintenance and support, are generally recognized ratably over the contract term beginning on the commencement date of each contract, which is the date the Company’s product has been delivered or service is made available to customers. |
| |
• | Revenue from professional and other services, which are not essential to the functionality of the software, are generally recognized as the services are provided to customers. |
The Company allocates revenue to the software-related and non-software elements under one arrangement based on the relative selling price. In such circumstances, the selling price for a deliverable is based on the following hierarchy: i) vendor-specific objective evidence (“VSOE”), if available, ii) third-party evidence (“TPE”), if VSOE is not available, or iii) estimated selling price (“ESP”), if neither VSOE nor TPE is available. The Company determines VSOE of the selling price for software-related elements, including professional services and software maintenance and support contracts, based on the price charged for the deliverable when sold separately. After the arrangement consideration has been allocated to the software-related and non-software related elements, the Company accounts for each respective element as follows:
| |
• | Revenue for each of the non-software elements is allocated based on the selling price hierarchy and recognized as noted above provided all other criteria required for revenue recognition have been met. |
| |
• | Revenue for each of the software-related elements is allocated based on the VSOE of each element and recognized as noted above provided all other criteria required for revenue recognition have been met. In software-related arrangements for which the Company does not have the VSOE of the fair value for all elements, revenue is deferred until the earlier of when the VSOE is determined for the undelivered elements (residual method) or when all elements for which the Company does not have the VSOE of the fair value have been delivered, unless the only undelivered element is maintenance and support, in which case the entire amount of revenue is recognized over the maintenance and support period. |
Other items relating to charges collected from customers:
| |
• | Shipping and handling charges collected from customers as part of the Company's sales transactions are included in revenues and the associated costs are included in cost of revenues. |
| |
• | Sales taxes charged to and collected from customers as part of the Company’s sales transactions are excluded from revenues and recorded as a liability to the applicable governmental taxing authority. |
Deferred Revenue
Deferred revenue consists of billings or payments received in advance of revenue recognition and is recognized as the revenue recognition criteria are met. The deferred revenue balance does not represent the total contract value of annual or multi-year, non-cancelable subscription agreements. Deferred revenue that will be recognized during the succeeding 12 month period is recorded as current deferred revenue, and the remaining portion is recorded as non-current deferred revenue.
Deferred Commissions
Sales commissions represent the direct incremental costs related to the acquisition of customer contracts. The Company recognizes commissions as sales and marketing expense at the time the associated product revenue is recognized, requiring establishment of a deferred cost in the event a commission is paid prior to recognition of revenue. The deferred commission amounts are recoverable through the related future revenue streams under non-cancelable customer contracts and also commission clawback provisions in the Company's sales compensation plans. Deferred commission costs included in prepaid expenses and other assets were $954,000 and $418,000 at December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Deferred commission costs in other assets, non-current were $104,000 at December 31, 2015.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents are stated at fair value.
Marketable Securities
Management determines the appropriate classification of marketable securities at the time of purchase and reevaluates such designation as of each balance sheet date. Currently, all marketable securities held by the Company are classified as available-for-sale. Available-for-sale securities are carried at fair value as determined by quoted market prices with unrealized gains and losses, net of tax, reported as a separate component of stockholders’ equity. The Company analyzes its marketable securities for impairment on an ongoing basis. Factors considered in determining whether an unrealized loss is a temporary loss or an other-than-temporary loss include the length of time and extent to which the securities have been in an unrealized loss position and the Company’s ability and intent to hold the investment for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated market recovery.
Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
Accounts receivable are initially recorded at a selling price, which approximates fair value upon the sale of goods or services to customers. The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts to reflect accounts receivable at net realizable value. In judging the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts, the Company considers multiple factors, including historical bad debt experience, the general economic environment, the need for specific client reserves and the aging of the Company’s receivables. A portion of this provision is included in operating expenses as a general and administrative expense and a portion of this provision is included as a reduction of license revenue. A considerable amount of judgment is required in assessing these factors. If the factors utilized in determining the allowance do not reflect future performance, then a change in the allowance for doubtful accounts would be necessary in the period such determination has been made, which would impact future results of operations.
Changes to the allowance for doubtful accounts consisted of the following (in thousands):
|

Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined on a first-in, first-out basis. The Company records provisions for potential excess, obsolete and slow moving inventory. Results could be different if demand for the Company’s products decreased because of economic or competitive conditions, or if products became obsolete because of technical advancements in the industry or by the Company. Inventory included in prepaid expenses and other current assets was $250,000 and $168,000 as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost and depreciated on a straight-line basis over estimated useful lives ranging from one to seven years for most assets. Leasehold improvements are amortized using the straight-line method over the shorter of the property’s useful life or the term of the underlying lease. Repairs and maintenance costs are charged to operations as incurred. The asset cost and related accumulated depreciation or amortization are adjusted for asset retirement or disposal, with the resulting gain or loss, if any, credited or charged to results of operations.
Long-lived Assets
The Company continually monitors events and changes in circumstances that could indicate that carrying amounts of its long-lived assets, including property and equipment and intangible assets may not be recoverable. When such events or changes in circumstances occur, the Company assesses the recoverability of long-lived assets by determining whether the carrying value of such assets will be recovered through their undiscounted expected future cash flows. If the future undiscounted cash flows are less than the carrying amount of these assets, the Company recognizes an impairment loss based on the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value of the assets.
Goodwill
The Company records goodwill when consideration paid in a purchase acquisition exceeds the fair value of the net tangible assets and the identified intangible assets acquired. Goodwill is not amortized, but rather is tested for impairment annually or more frequently if facts and circumstances warrant a review. The Company has determined that there is a single reporting unit for the purpose of goodwill impairment tests. For purposes of assessing the impairment of goodwill, the Company annually, at its fiscal year end, estimates the fair value of the reporting unit and compares this amount to the carrying value of the reporting unit. If the Company determines that the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, an impairment charge is recognized in the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its fair value. As of December 31, 2015, the Company completed its annual impairment test of goodwill. Based upon that evaluation, the Company determined that its goodwill was not impaired. See Note 6–"Intangible Assets and Goodwill."
Investment in Nonconsolidated Company
As of December 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company held an investment totaling $3.1 million in convertible preferred stock of Briefcam, Ltd. ("Briefcam") a privately-held Israeli company that develops video synopsis technology to augment security and surveillance systems to facilitate review of surveillance video. The investment is included in other non-current assets. Because Qumu's ownership interest is less than 20% and it has no other rights or privileges that enable it to exercise significant influence over the operating and financial policies of Briefcam, Qumu accounts for this equity investment using the cost method. Equity securities accounted for under the cost method are reviewed quarterly for changes in circumstances or the occurrence of events that suggest the Company’s investment may not be fully recoverable. If an unrealized loss for the investment is considered to be other-than-temporary, the loss will be recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Operations in the period the determination is made. Qumu monitors Briefcam's results of operations, business plan and capital raising activities and is not aware of any events or circumstances that would indicate a decline in the carrying value of its investment.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company measures stock-based compensation based on the fair value of the award at the date of grant. The Company recognizes stock-based compensation on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for the entire awards, net of an estimated forfeiture rate. Compensation cost is recognized for all awards over the vesting period to the extent the requisite service requirements are met, whether or not the award is ultimately exercised. Conversely, when the requisite service requirements are not met and the award is forfeited prior to vesting, any compensation expense previously recognized for the award is reversed.
Research and Development Costs
Costs related to research, design and development of products are charged to research and development expense as incurred. Software development costs are capitalized beginning when a product’s technological feasibility has been established and ending when a product is available for general release to customers. The Company uses the working model approach to determine technological feasibility. The Company’s products are released soon after technological feasibility has been established. As a result, the Company has not capitalized any software development costs because such costs have not been significant.
Royalties for Third Party Technology
Royalties for third party technology are either paid in advance and capitalized as prepaid royalties or are accrued as incurred and subsequently paid. These royalties are generally expensed to cost of revenue generally at the greater of the contractual rate or an effective royalty rate based on the total projected net revenue for contracts with guaranteed minimums. Each quarter, the Company also evaluates the expected future realization of its prepaid royalties, as well as any minimum commitments not yet paid to determine amounts it deems unlikely to be realized through product sales. Any impairments or losses determined before the launch of a product are generally charged to general and administrative expense, and any impairments or losses determined post-launch are charged to cost of revenue. Unrecognized minimum royalty-based commitments are accounted for as executory contracts, and therefore, any losses on these commitments are recognized when the underlying intellectual property is abandoned (i.e., cease use) or the contractual rights to use the intellectual property are terminated.
During the fourth quarter 2015, the Company recognized a loss relating to a third party license agreement of $1.2 million to general and administration expense which included the write-off of a $606,000 prepaid royalty and the accrual of the remaining $606,000 minimum royalty payments.
Income Taxes
The Company provides for income taxes using the liability method, which requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when it is more likely than not that some component or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Tax rate changes are reflected in income during the period such changes are enacted.
Foreign Currency Translation
The functional currency for each of the Company’s international subsidiaries is the respective local currency. The Company translates its financial statements of consolidated entities whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar into U.S. dollars. The Company translates its assets and liabilities at the exchange rate in effect as of the financial statement date and translates statement of operations accounts using the average exchange rate for the period. Exchange rate differences resulting from translation adjustments are accounted for as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss. Gains or losses, whether realized or unrealized, due to transactions in foreign currencies are reflected in the consolidated statements of operations under the line item other income (expense). Losses on foreign currency transactions were $131,000, $201,000 and $40,000 for the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and are included in other expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Net Loss Per Share
Basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per common share is computed by giving effect to all potentially dilutive common shares including options and restricted stock units. Basic and diluted net loss per common share was the same for all periods presented as the impact of all potentially dilutive securities outstanding was anti-dilutive.
Comprehensive Income (Loss)
Comprehensive income (loss) includes net income and items defined as other comprehensive income, such as unrealized gains and losses on certain marketable securities and foreign currency translation adjustments. Such items are reported in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss).
New Accounting Pronouncements
In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-17, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes, which amends the guidance requiring companies to separate deferred income tax liabilities and assets into current and non-current amounts in a classified statement of financial position. This accounting guidance simplifies the presentation of deferred income taxes, such that deferred tax liabilities and assets be classified as non-current in a classified statement of financial position. This accounting guidance is effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of 2017, but the Company has elected to adopt this guidance prospectively as of December 31, 2015. As a result, all deferred tax liabilities and assets are classified as non-current in the consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2015.
In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-05, Customer’s Accounting for Fees Paid in a Cloud Computing Arrangement, which provides guidance to customers about whether a cloud computing arrangement includes software. If a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license, the customer should account for the software license element of the arrangement consistent with the acquisition of other software licenses. If a cloud computing arrangement does not include a software license, the customer should account for the arrangement as a service contract. The new guidance does not change the accounting for a customer’s accounting for service contracts. ASU 2015-05 is effective for the Company on January 1, 2016, with early adoption permitted using either of two methods: (i) prospective to all arrangements entered into or materially modified after the effective date and represent a change in accounting principle; or (ii) retrospectively. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the standard on its consolidated financial statements.
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. The ASU will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in U.S. GAAP when it becomes effective. In July 2015, the FASB voted to amend ASU 2014-09 by approving a one-year deferral of the effective date as well as providing the option to early adopt the standard on the original effective date. The new standard is effective for the Company on January 1, 2018 but may be early adopted effective January 1, 2017. The standard permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. The Company is currently evaluating the timing of its adoption and the effect that ASU 2014-09 will have on its
consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. The Company has not yet selected a transition method nor has it determined the effect of the standard on its ongoing financial reporting.
2) Acquisition of Kulu Valley, Ltd.
On October 3, 2014, the Company entered into share purchase agreements to acquire 100% of the outstanding shares (the "Share Purchase Transaction") of Kulu Valley Ltd., a private limited company incorporated in England and Wales (“Kulu Valley”). The acquisition was made to expand Qumu’s addressable market through the offering of Kulu Valley’s best-in-class video content creation capabilities and easy-to-deploy pure cloud solution, and provides Kulu Valley’s customers with access to industry leading video content management and delivery capability.
After inclusion of working capital and other adjustments required under the share purchase agreements, the aggregate net purchase price totaled approximately $14,591,000 consisting of a cash outlay of approximately $11,556,000, net of cash acquired in the transaction of $2,466,000, and approximately 275,000 shares of Qumu Corporation's common stock. For purposes of calculating the purchase price attributable to the 275,000 shares of Company common stock issuable in the Share Purchase Transaction, the parties agreed upon a value of $13.75 per share. All of the shares of the Company’s common stock issued in the Share Purchase Transaction were issued to shareholders of Kulu Valley who are also employees of Kulu Valley. Pursuant to the terms of a lock-up letter agreement, the shares issued in the Share Purchase Transaction were restricted from transfer, subject to certain exceptions. The restrictions lapsed for all of the shares issued 365 days following the closing of the Share Purchase Transaction. Following the acquisition, Kulu Valley’s liabilities consisted of trade payables, accrued expenses, deferred tax liabilities and deferred revenue related primarily to active software subscription agreements. Of the cash amounts payable in the acquisition, $2,000,000 was subject to escrow for a fifteen month period to secure certain warranty and indemnification obligations to the Company; the escrow was released in January 2016. The acquisition was funded through the use of cash held by the Company at the acquisition date and the Company's common stock.
The acquisition was accounted for under the provisions of ASC 805, Business Combinations. The results of operations of Kulu Valley are included in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations since October 3, 2014, the date of the acquisition. After the impact of applying fair value purchase accounting adjustments of $1.1 million to reduce the carrying value of deferred revenues, the Company recorded revenues for Kulu Valley of approximately $464,000 during the post-acquisition period in 2014. The acquisition of Kulu Valley’s assets and liabilities does not constitute a material business combination and accordingly, pro forma results have not been included.
The following table summarizes the purchase accounting allocation of the total purchase price to Kulu Valley’s net tangible and intangible assets, with the residual allocated to goodwill (in thousands):
|
| | | |
Aggregate purchase price, net of cash acquired | $ | 15,118 |
|
Less: discount applied to Qumu Corporation stock for trade restrictions | (527 | ) |
Net transaction consideration | $ | 14,591 |
|
Current assets | $ | 1,494 |
|
Property and equipment | 140 |
|
Intangible assets | 6,663 |
|
Goodwill | 8,795 |
|
Current liabilities | (1,170 | ) |
Net deferred tax liabilities | (1,331 | ) |
Total net assets acquired | $ | 14,591 |
|
The aggregate purchase price for purchase accounting of $14,591,000 reflects the cash consideration, net of cash acquired, plus the valuation of issued Qumu Corporation (NASDAQ:QUMU) stock at the closing price per share of $12.95 on the date of the acquisition. The Company is not aware of further adjustments required in the purchase price allocation.
The aggregate purchase price was allocated to the fair values of the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The fair values assigned to intangible assets were determined through the use of forecasted cash inflows and outflows, primarily applying a relief-from royalty and a multi-period excess earnings method. These valuation methods were based on management’s estimates as of the acquisition date of October 3, 2014. The excess of the purchase price over the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired was recorded as goodwill, which is non-deductible for tax purposes. Transaction costs of approximately $245,000 were expensed as incurred and were included in the Company’s general and administrative expenses.
The guidance under ASC 805 provides that intangible assets with finite lives be amortized over their estimated remaining useful lives, while goodwill and other intangible assets with indefinite lives will not be amortized, but rather tested for impairment on at least an annual basis. Useful lives for intangible assets were determined based upon the remaining useful economic lives of the intangible assets that are expected to contribute directly or indirectly to future cash flows.
In the aggregate, the identifiable intangible assets were valued at $6,663,000, of which $4,233,000 was allocated to developed technology, $2,315,000 was allocated to customer relationships, $74,000 was allocated to trade name and $41,000 was allocated to covenant not-to-compete agreements. The acquired intangible assets will be amortized based on estimated expected future cash flows for a period ranging from fifteen months to nine years.
As part of the opening balance sheet purchase accounting, the Company established a net deferred tax liability of $1.3 million. This consisted of a deferred tax liability of approximately $1.5 million for the estimated future impact of the difference in the U.S. book vs. U.K. statutory and tax basis of the purchased intangible assets, deferred revenues and accrued compensation. Partially offsetting this was the impact of the establishment of deferred tax assets amounting to approximately $0.2 million for the future benefit of utilization of acquired net operating losses and the impact of cumulative temporary U.S. book to tax differences.
3) Divestiture of Disc Publishing Business
On April 24, 2014, the Company entered into an asset purchase agreement (the “asset purchase agreement”) with Equus Holdings, Inc. and Redwood Acquisition, Inc. (now known as Rimage Corporation, “Buyer”). Under the terms of the asset purchase agreement, the Company agreed to sell to Buyer all of the assets primarily used or primarily held for use in connection with its disc publishing business. Buyer also agreed to assume on the closing date certain agreements and liabilities relating to the disc publishing business and the acquired assets.
At a special meeting of the Company's shareholders held on June 27, 2014, the Company's shareholders approved the sale of the disc publishing assets as contemplated by the asset purchase agreement. As a result, effective June 27, 2014, the disc publishing business was classified as held for sale and qualified for discontinued operations presentation in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The results of the discontinued disc publishing business have been presented as discontinued operations effective with the reporting of financial results for the second quarter 2014. As such, financial results for the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013 have been reported on this basis.
On July 1, 2014, the Company’s sale of the disc publishing business was completed. The Company also entered into a mutual transition services agreement with Buyer and entered into a lease agreement with Buyer for the lease from Buyer of a portion of the property located at 7725 Washington Avenue South, Minneapolis, MN 55439. The Company terminated the lease agreement in September 2015 due to the Company relocating its corporate headquarters to 510 1st Avenue North, Suite 305, Minneapolis, MN 55403.
The adjusted purchase price paid to the Company was $22.0 million, of which $2.3 million was placed in an escrow account to support the Company’s indemnification obligations under the asset purchase agreement for a fifteen-month escrow period. The $2.3 million escrow was classified as restricted cash on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of December 31, 2014 and was released from escrow to the Company in October 2015. In the third quarter of 2014, the Company recorded a gain on sale of the disc publishing business of $16.2 million, exclusive of the impact of transaction related expenses recorded through September 30, 2014. The gain on sale attributable to the U.S. is offset for federal income tax purposes by current or prior-year tax losses but is subject to applicable state income taxes.
The operational results of the disc publishing business are presented in the “Net income from discontinued operations, net of tax” line item on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Also included in this line item for the 2014 period is the gain on sale of the disc publishing business and non-recurring expenses incurred by the Company as a result of the sale of the disc publishing business, including third party transaction specific costs, one-time income tax related impacts and the acceleration of vesting of cash-based long-term incentive and stock-based awards payable to employees of the disc publishing business upon completion of the asset sale transaction. The described non-recurring expenses and income tax related impacts amounted to approximately $9.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2014. No general corporate charges were allocated to the discontinued business. The assets and liabilities of the discontinued business are presented on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as assets and liabilities from discontinued operations.
Other than consolidated amounts reflecting operating results and balances for both the continuing and discontinued operations, all remaining amounts presented in the accompanying consolidated financial statements and notes reflect the financial results and financial position of the Company's continuing enterprise video content management software business.

Goodwill
On October 3, 2014, the Company completed the acquisition of Kulu Valley, Ltd. and recognized $8.8 million of goodwill and $6.7 million of intangible assets. The goodwill balance of $8.1 million at December 31, 2015 reflects the impact of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations since the acquisition date. See Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on the acquisition of Kulu Valley. The gross carrying amount of goodwill related to the 2011 acquisition of Qumu, Inc. of $22.2 million was fully impaired in 2012.
During the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company’s stock price traded at levels which caused the Company’s enterprise value, excluding any control premium, to approximate its book value, resulting in increased risk of a potential impairment of goodwill. As of December 31, 2015, the Company’s market capitalization, without a control premium, was less than its book value suggesting a possible goodwill impairment. The Company engaged a third party valuation firm to assist the Company with its goodwill impairment analysis. Based on the analysis, the Company determined its enterprise value using a discounted cash flow analysis and a comparable public company analysis, giving both equal weight, was greater than the Company’s book value by 14%. As a result, the Company concluded there was no goodwill impairment. While not a factor used for the December 31, 2015 goodwill impairment analysis, the Company's market capitalization increased to $48.7 million as of March 14, 2016 which was in excess of its book value at December 31, 2015 by 58%. Declines in the Company’s market capitalization could require the Company to record goodwill and other impairment charges. While a goodwill impairment charge is a non-cash charge, it would have a negative impact on the Company's results of operations.

On March 5, 2015, the Company entered into an office facility lease agreement for space that will serve as its corporate headquarters. The eighty-nine month lease commenced on September 1, 2015, provides the Company approximately 17,216 square feet in Minneapolis, Minnesota, with the initial term expiring January 31, 2023. Total base rent payable over the lease period is $1,822,000. The Company has one option to extend the term of the lease for an additional five year period with respect to the leased premises. The lease agreement allowed the Company to construct leasehold improvements to the new space prior to the effective date of the lease. As the leasehold improvements are the property of the Company, the associated costs, amounting to approximately $713,000, were capitalized in property and equipment as of September 30, 2015 and will be depreciated over the term of the lease. As an incentive to enter into the lease agreement, the lessor provided the Company a one-time tenant improvement allowance of $689,000 to apply against the cost of the leasehold improvements. The one-time tenant improvement allowance is included in deferred rent and will be amortized as a reduction of rent expense over the term of the lease.
During the third quarter 2015, the Company recognized an equipment operating lease loss of $1.0 million relating to equipment the Company no longer plans to utilize as part of it managed services offerings. Under this obligation, there are six remaining lease payments of $71,000 payable through the first quarter of 2017.
Rent expense under operating leases amounted to approximately $1.0 million, $0.7 million and $0.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
Contingencies
The Company is exposed to a number of asserted and unasserted legal claims encountered in the ordinary course of its business. Although the outcome of any such legal actions cannot be predicted, management believes that there are no pending legal proceedings against or involving the Company for which the outcome is likely to have a material adverse effect upon its financial position or results of operations.
The Company’s standard arrangements include provisions indemnifying customers against liabilities if the Company's products infringe a third-party’s intellectual property rights. The Company has not incurred any costs in its continuing operations as a result of such indemnifications and has not accrued any liabilities related to such contingent obligations in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.
8) Stock-Based Compensation
The Company issues shares pursuant to the 2007 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2007 Plan”) which provides for the grant of stock incentive awards in the form of incentive and non-qualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance stock, performance units and other awards in stock and/or cash to certain key employees, non-employee directors and service providers. The exercise price of stock options granted under the 2007 Plan is equal to the market value on the date of grant. As of December 31, 2015, 2,230,320 shares are authorized under the 2007 Plan of which 337,456 were available for future grant.
In addition to awards granted under the 2007 Plan, the Company granted non-qualified options to purchase 200,000, 100,000, 50,000 and 130,000 shares of its common stock to newly hired senior management level employees on April 1, 2009, November 26, 2012, January 7, 2013 and May 18, 2015, respectively, all of which were outstanding as of December 31, 2015. The options in all cases were granted outside of any shareholder-approved plan as inducements to accept employment with the Company. The options have an exercise price equal to the closing price of the Company’s common stock as reported by the Nasdaq Stock Market on the date of grant, vest in four equal installments on each of the first four anniversaries of the date of grant and have terms of seven years. In other respects, the options were structured to mirror the terms of the options granted under the 2007 Plan and are subject to stock option agreements between the Company and the employees.

As of December 31, 2015, total stock option compensation expense of $1.7 million and $1.7 million was not yet recognized related to non-vested option awards and related to non-vested shares and share unit awards, respectively, and is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.9 years and 2.6 years, respectively.
In addition to the stock-based compensation costs recognized in continuing operations related to the Company’s share-based payment arrangements, stock-based compensation costs of $198,000 and $343,000 are included in discontinued operations for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
Stock Options
The fair value of each option award is estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The assumptions used to determine the fair value of stock option awards granted were as follows:
|
| | | | | |
| Year Ended December 31, |
| 2015 | | 2014 | | 2013 |
Expected life of options in years | 4.75 | | 4.75 | | 2.00 - 4.75 |
Risk-free interest rate | 1.3% - 1.6% | | 1.4% - 1.6% | | 0.3% - 1.3% |
Expected volatility | 34.5% - 53.2% | | 33.1% - 34.5% | | 31.5% - 43.7% |
Expected dividend yield | 0.0% | | 0.0% | | 0.0% |
The Company reviews these assumptions at the time of each new option award and adjusts them as necessary to ensure proper option valuation. The expected life represents the period that the stock option awards are expected to be outstanding. Effective April 2008, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a change in the contractual term of stock options granted to employees from ten to seven years. Given the reduction in the contractual term of its employee stock option awards, the Company determined it was unable to rely on its historical exercise data as a basis for estimating the expected life of stock options granted to employees subsequent to this change. As such, the Company used the “simplified” method for determining the expected life of stock options granted to employees in 2015, 2014 and 2013, which bases the expected life calculation on the average of the vesting term and the contractual term of the awards. The risk-free interest rate is based on the yield of constant maturity U.S. treasury bonds with a remaining term equal to the expected life of the awards. The Company estimated the stock price volatility using weekly price observations over the most recent historical period equal to the expected life of the awards.

Restricted Stock and Restrict Stock Units
Restricted stock and restricted stock units are valued based on the market value of the Company’s shares on the date of grant, which was equal to the intrinsic value of the shares on that date. These awards vest and the restrictions lapse over varying periods from the date of grant. The Company recognizes compensation expense for the intrinsic value of the restricted awards ratably over the vesting period.

The Company also had $58.8 million of various state net operating loss carryforwards. The loss carryforwards for federal tax purposes will expire between 2023 and 2035 if not utilized. The loss carryforwards for state tax purposes will expire between 2022 and 2035 if not utilized.
As of December 31, 2015, the Company had federal and state research and development credit carryforwards of $2.9 million, net of Section 383 limitations, which will begin to expire in 2022 if not utilized.
As a result of its acquisition of Qumu, Inc. in October 2011, utilization of U.S. net operating losses and tax credits of Qumu, Inc. are subject to annual limitations under Internal Revenue Code Sections 382 and 383, respectively.
The Company assessed that the valuation allowance against its U.S. deferred tax assets is still appropriate as of December 31, 2015, based on the consideration of all available positive and negative evidence, using the “more likely than not” standard required by ASC 740, Income Taxes. The valuation allowance will be reviewed quarterly and will be maintained until sufficient positive evidence exists to support the reversal of the valuation allowance.
The Company generally believes that it is more likely than not that the future results of the operations of its subsidiaries in the U.K. will generate sufficient taxable income due to the reversal of deferred tax liabilities to realize the tax benefits related to its deferred tax assets. As of December 31, 2015, the Company had a cumulative foreign tax loss carryforward of $2.1 million in the U.K. This amount can be carried forward indefinitely.
The Company has not provided deferred taxes on unremitted earnings attributable to its international subsidiaries that are considered to be reinvested indefinitely. Accumulated undistributed foreign earnings relate primarily to operations of the Company's subsidiaries in Japan and the U.K. and amount to approximately $1.3 million as of December 31, 2015. The amount of cash, cash equivalent and marketable securities held by the Company's international subsidiaries that are not available to fund domestic operations unless repatriated was $1.0 million as of December 31, 2015. The Company currently does not intend to repatriate the cash and related balances held by its international subsidiaries. However, if circumstances change and these funds are needed to meet cash requirements in the U.S., the Company may be required to accrue and pay U.S. taxes, net of related foreign tax credits, to repatriate these funds. Based on current tax laws and structures, the Company does not believe this would have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements and cash flows.
A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amounts of gross unrecognized tax benefits for the years ended December 31 is presented in the table below (in thousands):
|
| | | | | | | |

|
Included in the balance of unrecognized tax benefits at December 31, 2015 are potential benefits of $9,000 that if recognized, would affect the effective tax rate. The Company does not anticipate that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2015 will change significantly by December 31, 2016.
The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as a component of income tax expense. Total accrued interest and penalties amounted to $4,000 and $1,000 on a gross basis at December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively, and are excluded from the reconciliation of unrecognized tax benefits presented above. Interest and penalties recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Operations related to uncertain tax positions amounted to a net tax benefit in 2015 of $3,000 and net tax expense in 2014 of $18,000.
The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various state and foreign jurisdictions. As of December 31, 2015, the Company was no longer subject to income tax examinations for taxable years before 2013 in the case of U.S. federal taxing authorities, and taxable years generally before 2011 in the case of state taxing authorities, consisting primarily of Minnesota and California.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
| |
a) | Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures |
Our Chief Executive Officer, Vern Hanzlik, and our Chief Financial Officer, Peter J. Goepfrich, have evaluated the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2015. Our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer used the definition of “disclosure controls and procedures” as set forth in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act in making their conclusion as to the effectiveness of such controls and procedures.
Based upon such evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of December 31, 2015 because of material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting described below in “Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.” Notwithstanding the identified material weaknesses, management believes the consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K fairly present, in all material respects, our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows as of and for the periods presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
| |
b) | Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting |
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Under the supervision of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:
| |
(i) | Pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; |
| |
(ii) | Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and |
| |
(iii) | Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. |
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
Based on our assessment and those criteria, management believes that our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2015 was not effective due to the material weaknesses described as follows:
| |
• | Risk Assessment and Monitoring. We did not maintain effective risk assessment and monitoring processes. Specifically, with respect to our risk assessment process, we did not adequately identify and analyze changes in the business and personnel and implement effective process level controls and monitoring activities that are responsive to those changes and aligned with our financial reporting objectives. Additionally, our risk assessment process did not adequately evaluate the impact of information technology control deficiencies that affect the design and operating effectiveness of controls related to the completeness and accuracy of underlying data included in system generated reports. With respect to our monitoring process, we did not design and maintain effective controls for the timely identification, evaluation, communication and remediation of internal control deficiencies. |
| |
• | Control Activities - Manual Journal Entries. The design of our controls were inadequate to ensure that a complete population of manual journal entries had been appropriately identified and subjected to appropriate levels of review and approval. |
| |
• | Control Activities - Account Reconciliations. The design and operating effectiveness of our controls were inadequate to ensure that account reconciliations were consistently performed, that support was retained, and that reconciliations were approved to ensure the balances were complete and accurate. |
| |
• | Control Activities - Revenue Review. We did not maintain effective controls over the accuracy and appropriateness of revenue entries recorded to the general ledger. Specifically, we did not maintain adequate documentation to ensure that all entries had been subject to an appropriate level of review and approval. |
Although no material misstatements were identified in our consolidated financial statements, these control deficiencies create a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement to the consolidated financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. We concluded that the deficiencies represent material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting and our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of December 31, 2015.
The Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2015 was audited by KPMG LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, who has issued an adverse report which is included in Item 8 of this Form 10-K.
| |
c) | Remediation Plan for Material Weakness in Internal Control over Financial Reporting |
We are in the process of implementing our remediation plans. During 2015, we hired a new chief financial officer and corporate controller, created and hired for the new role of SEC reporting and compliance manager, and hired additional accounting personnel over the past six months. Additionally, the Company is expecting to complete the implementation of new financial reporting software by the end of the third quarter of 2016. With the oversight of senior management and our audit committee, the new accounting and finance team has begun to further develop a plan to remediate the underlying causes of the material weaknesses.
The remediation plan will involve a review of our risk assessment process and monitoring activities, to ensure that our internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles; and enhancing the design of existing controls and implementing additional controls to ensure journal entries and account reconciliations are appropriately prepared, reviewed and approved, including the validation of the completeness and accuracy of underlying data used in the performance of the redesigned controls. Management expects that a substantial portion of its remediation efforts will be completed by the end of the third quarter of 2016, with final testing of the effectiveness of the new and enhanced controls occurring at the end of 2016.
| |
d) | Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting |
There were no material changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by Rule 13a-15(d) of the Exchange Act that occurred during our most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
