Item 1. Business.

GTY Business Overview

GTY is a software-as-a-service (“SaaS”) company that offers a primarily cloud-based suite of solutions for the public sector in North America. GTY brings government technology companies together to achieve a new standard in citizen engagement and resource management. GTY solutions provide public sector organizations with the ability to communicate, engage, interact, conduct business, and transact with their constituents in procurement, payments, grants management, budgeting, and permitting.

GTY operates through the following subsidiaries: Bonfire Interactive Ltd., a Canadian company (“Bonfire” or “Procurement”) provides strategic sourcing and procurement SaaS to enable confident and compliant spending decisions; CityBase, Inc. (“CityBase” or “Payments”) and its wholly owned subsidiary, The Department of Better Technology, Inc. (“Better Technology”) provide government payment solutions to connect constituents with utilities and government agencies; eCivis^® Inc. (“eCivis” or “Grants Management”), offers a grants management system to maximize grant revenues and track performance; Open Counter Enterprises Inc. (“OpenCounter” or “Permitting”) provides government permitting SaaS to guide applicants through complex permitting and licensing procedures; Questica^® Software Inc. and Questica USCDN Inc., Canadian companies, and Questica Ltd., a U.S. subsidiary (collectively, “Questica”) offer budget preparation and management SaaS and software to deliver on financial and non-financial strategic objectives; Sherpa Government Solutions LLC (“Sherpa” and, together with Questica, “Budget”) provides public-sector budgeting SaaS, software and consulting services.

To help attract, develop and retain personnel, we focus on a variety of factors. We design recruitment practices to attract and hire the best people in support of our business and our customers. Market-based compensation and benefits, adjusted to account for the specific states, provinces and countries in which we operate in North America and the locations of employees, facilitate retention of the right people. Training is structured to provide our people with the skills they need to succeed in a modern technology company and in serving our public sector customers. Internal development opportunities, both in our business units and at the holding company, facilitate career development and motivation of, and satisfaction from, individual contributors, management and executives.

We were initially formed as a blank check company incorporated on August 11, 2016 as a Cayman Islands exempted company formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses. Until the consummation of the business combination in 2019, we neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenue.

On November 1, 2016, we consummated our initial public offering of 55,200,000 units, including the issuance of 7,200,000 units as a result of the underwriters’ exercise of their over-allotment option in full. Each unit consisted of one Class A ordinary share and one-third of one warrant. Each whole warrant entitled the holder thereof to purchase one Class A ordinary share at a price of $11.50 per share. The units were sold at an offering price of $10.00 per unit, generating gross proceeds, before expenses, of $552 million. Prior to the consummation of the initial public offering, in August 2016, GTY Investors, LLC (the “Sponsor”) purchased 8,625,000 Class B ordinary shares (“founder shares”) for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000, or approximately $0.002 per share. On each of October 14 and October 26, 2016, we effected a share capitalization resulting in an aggregate of 11,500,000 and 13,800,000 founder shares outstanding, respectively. In October 2016, the Sponsor

Table of Contents

transferred 25,000 founder shares to each of our independent director nominees at the same per-share purchase price paid by the Sponsor.

Simultaneously with the closing of the initial public offering, we consummated the private placement of 8,693,334 private placement warrants, each exercisable to purchase one Class A ordinary share at $11.50 per share, at a price of $1.50 per private placement warrant, with the Sponsor, generating gross proceeds of approximately $13.04 million.

Upon the closing of the initial public offering and private placement on November 1, 2016, $552 million from the net proceeds of the sale of the units in the initial public offering and the private placement was placed in a U.S.-based trust account maintained by Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, acting as trustee.

Initially, we were required to complete our initial business combination by November 1, 2018, which was 24 months from the closing of our initial public offering. On October 30, 2018, our shareholders approved a proposal to amend our second amended and restated memorandum and articles of association to extend the date by which we had to consummate an initial business combination from November 1, 2018 to May 1, 2019. In connection with such proposal, our public shareholders had the right to elect to redeem their Class A ordinary shares for a per share price, payable in cash, based upon the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account. Our public shareholders holding 34,011,538 Class A ordinary shares out of a total of 55,200,000 Class A ordinary shares validly elected to redeem their shares and, accordingly, after giving effect to such redemptions, the balance in our trust account was approximately $216.8 million.

On February 19, 2019, we consummated the business combination pursuant to which we acquired Bonfire, CityBase, eCivis, OpenCounter, Questica, and Sherpa (the “Acquisition”). Until the Acquisition, GTY Technology Holdings Inc., a blank check company incorporated in the Cayman Islands (“GTY Cayman”) did not engage in any operations nor generate any revenues. 11,073,040 Class A ordinary shares were redeemed at a per share price of approximately $10.29 in connection with the shareholder vote to approve the business combination. In connection with the closing of the business combination, GTY Govtech, Inc. a Massachusetts corporation, became the parent company of and successor issuer by operation of Rule 12g-3(a) promulgated under the Exchange Act to our predecessor entity, GTY Cayman, and changed its name from GTY Govtech, Inc. to GTY Technology Holdings Inc.

Upon the closing of the business combination, all outstanding Class A ordinary shares were exchanged on a one-for-one basis for shares of common stock, and our outstanding warrants became exercisable for shares of common stock on the same terms as were contained in such warrants prior to the business combination.

Bonfire Business Overview

Bonfire, a corporation originally incorporated under the laws of the Province of Ontario, Canada and now a British Columbia corporation, was founded in 2012 and is a major provider of software technologies for the procurement and vendor or supplier sourcing industry across government, the broader public sector, and various highly-regulated commercial vertical markets. Bonfire offers customers and their sourcing professionals a modern SaaS application that helps find, engage, evaluate, negotiate with, and award contracts to suppliers. Bonfire delivers effective workflow automation, data collection and analysis, and collaboration to drive cost savings, compliance, and strategic outcomes.

Industry Background

The North American public sector represents a significant market for procurement technology. Procurement processes across various levels of government and public sector agencies account for an estimated 9% of gross domestic product for both the United States and Canada, which equals approximately $2.1 trillion per year for the United States and Canada combined. However, most of these spending decisions are made via manual paper processes, off-the-shelf spreadsheet technologies, and legacy internet-based sourcing portals.

In total, the North American public sector market includes over 99,000 cities, counties, towns, and other local government special agencies, and over 17,000 public institutions in academia, public healthcare, transit, utilities, and general state and federal agencies as of the most recent US Census of Governments. Despite differences in revenue sources, service delivery, and organizational mandates, each government body or entity shapes its sourcing practices in similar ways in response to state and federal procurement legislation and the emergence of various best practices.

Each public body faces a similar challenge: how to procure the best good or service, for the best cost, within often rigid compliance and policy directives from elected bodies or other regulation. This compliance- and policy-driven environment makes public sector procurement a significantly more complex and sensitive process than in the private sector. Public sector

Table of Contents

procurement teams are typically stewards of tax-payer resources and are subjected to high sourcing scrutiny and ethics requirements. Such entities must balance competing interests like cost-savings, compliance, and quality to achieve uniquely positive outcomes.

Public sector procurement groups are more regularly transitioning tools from offline workflows to online SaaS-enabled platforms to fulfill this mandate. Legacy internet-based portals and procurement suites often fail to respect the complexities of making procurement decisions in a public sector context. Many are mere systems of record and rudimentary interface points for buyers and suppliers. Many more fail to help procurement teams with the key functionalities of managing and analyzing supplier data for optimal sourcing decisions.

Bonfire uniquely captures the complexity and depth of public sector sourcing workflows; the SaaS allows procurement teams to collect highly granular supplier data, analyze and evaluate it across discrete criteria, and ultimately help procurement teams make the best possible decision as a balance of compliance, cost-savings, quality and fit.

Products and Services

Bonfire provides a comprehensive and flexible suite of products that addresses the procurement needs of predominantly public sector customers across academia, public healthcare, local and state government, transit, utilities, and various other state and federal agencies. Bonfire derives all revenues from subscription-based SaaS.

A description of Bonfire’s suites of products and services follows:


eRFx & eTendering	● Control for requests for proposals, or RFPs or RFx, and bids, streamlining the entire sourcing workflow from posting to award
	● Vendor-friendly online portal to post opportunities and receive structured submissions
	● Evaluation tools that give deep insights into suppliers’ relative strengths/weaknesses, pricing, and other areas
	● Real-time overview of projects and key performance indicators, or KPIs
Contracts	● Contract information in one centralized, searchable, online platform
	● Heat-mapped calendar view, reminders and KPIs
	● Easy creation of contracts from completed projects
Vendor Performance	● Visibility into vendor performance
	● Configure custom surveys for end users and set a cadence to automatically send
	● Real-time insights to address issues immediately

Strategy

Bonfire’s objective is to grow its revenue and earnings organically, supplemented by focused strategic acquisitions. The key components of its business strategy are to:

●

Provide high quality, value-added products to its customers. Central to Bonfire’s success so far has been customer satisfaction and trust. Bonfire expects that it will continue to invest heavily in customer success.

●

Continue to expand its product offerings. Bonfire intends to continue to build innovative new products for its customers. These include products that leverage the data stored in customers’ networks to help customers achieve better sourcing outcomes through predictive analytics, machine learning, blockchain, intra-agency collaboration, and other next-generation technologies.

●

Expand its customer base. Continued customer growth is key for Bonfire’s strategy. Bonfire plans to continue building out its direct customer acquisition strategy while adding strategic channel relationships.

●

Attract and retain highly qualified employees. Bonfire’s business is dependent on attracting and retaining excellent managers and employees for product development, go-to-market, administrative, and support activities. Bonfire believes that its mission, scale of the opportunity, and unique culture will allow it to continue recruiting excellent staff.

Table of Contents

●

Pursue selected strategic acquisitions. Where appropriate, Bonfire may make strategic acquisitions of legacy portal providers as a way of accelerating the adoption of Bonfire. This would allow Bonfire to grow revenues more rapidly than with a purely organic strategy, and to grow its supplier network and corresponding data.

Sales, Marketing and Customers

Bonfire markets its products and services through direct, in-house sales and marketing personnel located in Canada and the United States.

Sales of new products and services are typically generated from outbound marketing and sales campaigns, tradeshows and conferences, word-of-mouth and referrals, and thought-leadership campaigns.

Competition

Bonfire competes with numerous local, regional, and national firms that provide or offer some or many of the same solutions that it provides. Many of these competitors are smaller companies that may be able to offer less expensive solutions than Bonfire’s. Many of these firms operate within a specific geographic territory or are in a narrow product or service niche. Bonfire also competes with national firms, some of which have greater financial and technical resources than Bonfire does, including SAP Ariba. Bonfire also occasionally competes with central internal information service departments of local governments, which requires it to persuade the end-user department to discontinue service by its own personnel and outsource the service to Bonfire.

Bonfire competes on a variety of factors, including price, service, name recognition, reputation, technological capabilities, and the ability to modify existing products and services to accommodate the individual requirements of the customer. Bonfire’s ability to offer an integrated system of applications for several offices or departments can be a competitive advantage. Local governmental units often are required to seek competitive proposals through a request for proposal process and some prospective customers use consultants to assist them with the proposal and vendor selection process.

Suppliers

Substantially all the computers, peripherals, printers, scanners, operating system software, office automation software, and other equipment necessary for the implementation and provision of Bonfire’s SaaS systems and services are currently available from several third-party sources. Hardware is purchased on original equipment manufacturer or distributor terms at discounts from retail. Bonfire has not experienced any significant supply problems.

Research and Development

Bonfire invests substantial resources in research and development to improve its platform and develop new products and features. Bonfire’s research and development team is primarily responsible for the design, development, testing, and delivery of its products.

Intellectual Property, Proprietary Rights and Licenses

Bonfire regards certain features of its internal operations, SaaS, and documentation as confidential and proprietary and relies on a combination of contractual restrictions, trade secret laws and other measures to protect its proprietary intellectual property. Bonfire currently does not rely on patents. Bonfire believes that, due to the rapid rate of technological change in the SaaS industry, trade secrets and copyright protection are less significant than factors such as knowledge, ability and experience of its employees, frequent product enhancements, and timeliness and quality of support services. Bonfire typically licenses its SaaS products under non-exclusive agreements, which are generally non-transferable.

Employees

As of December 31, 2021, Bonfire had 103 full-time employees. Bonfire’s employees are not covered by any collective bargaining agreement and Bonfire has never experienced a work stoppage. Bonfire believes that its relations with its employees are good.

Table of Contents

Properties

Bonfire leases and occupies approximately 21,000 square feet of office space in Ontario, Canada. Such lease expires on June 30, 2022.

Government Regulation

Upon reasonable investigation, we are not aware of any current government regulations that negatively impact in a material way Bonfire’s business or ability to compete in its markets.

CityBase Business Overview

CityBase provides dynamic content, digital services, and integrated payments via a SaaS platform that includes functionality accessible via web and mobile, kiosk, point-of-sale, and other channels. CityBase SaaS integrates its platform to underlying systems of record, billing, and other source systems, and configures payments and digital services to meet the requirements of its customers. Its customers include government agencies and utility companies. CityBase, LLC was formed in Delaware on June 9, 2014. On June 21, 2016, CityBase, LLC was converted into a Delaware corporation, CityBase, Inc. To complement and expand CityBase’s technology and customer base, on August 17, 2017, CityBase acquired 100% of the equity interests of Better Technology, a Delaware corporation, in exchange for shares of CityBase common stock.

Industry Background

The government technology industry continues to be composed of many legacy technology vendors (which typically use significant customization for implementation), consulting firms, in-house development, and manual processes that have never been digitized. CityBase anticipates that government will further follow the digital transformation of the private sector as constituents will expect such digitalization, in particular given the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, and ultimately such digitalization is expected to yield cost reductions and improved service to constituents. CityBase also expects a continued momentum amongst government staff and leaders to modernize government services. This future is not defined, but facilitated by, technology and will improve the way that people experience government.

Product and Service Offerings

CityBase provides an enterprise SaaS platform and associated payment kiosks that facilitate government and utility interactions with customers. The key elements of its products and services are digital services and payments.

Digital Services

CityBase’s digital services make it easier for constituents to register, apply, search, and pay for government and utility services — and easier for staff to administer these services. “Digital services” includes solutions that address the common interactions that people have with the government or their utility provider, which often remain paper based. CityBase digital services include configurable digital forms and case management tools that replace manual processes or improve existing online processes for government and utility customers. CityBase’s digital service tools help government and utility staff process constituent requests faster and more effectively.

Payments

The CityBase platform helps local governments and utilities accept, track, and manage payments from their constituents. CityBase facilitates payments that provide a modern user experience, integrate seamlessly with its customers’ existing systems, and are consistent across a large enterprise. The payment technology is available via channels, including web and mobile web, kiosk, and point-of-sale terminals. Its revenue management solution allows customers to manage system-wide payment activity as well as reconcile to individual transactions in one place.

Customers

CityBase’s customers include local and county governments and investor or municipal utility companies. Four of CityBase’s customers accounted for approximately 70% and 75% of CityBase’s total revenues for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Table of Contents

Competition

The market for enterprise payment, data analytics, and communication platforms for local governments and utilities is competitive and evolving. CityBase faces competition from several types of internal approaches and independent providers:

●

Custom software or SaaS solutions developed by outside consultants or through internal efforts to provide partial- or full-suite offerings;

●

Software or SaaS vendors that have developed agency- or utility-specific systems for individual business cases, such as property tax payments, utility payments, or freedom of information requests;

●

Other SaaS solution providers; and

●

Payment processing solution vendors serving government and utilities.

Competitive factors in CityBase’s market may include the following:

●

Service

●

Price

●

Speed to implement

●

Citizen-centric design

●

Configurability and flexibility

●

Back-office function for payment and banking reconciliation

CityBase believes that it compares favorably on the basis of these factors. Some of CityBase’s current competitors have, and future competitors may have, greater financial, technical, marketing and other resources, greater resources to devote to research and development, a broader range of products and services, larger marketing budgets, more extensive customer bases and broader customer relationships, and/or longer operating histories, greater name recognition and other resources.

Government Regulation

As a contractor to various government agencies, CityBase is subject to certain restrictions in how it operates. Such restrictions may exist at the individual customer level and may include regulations that govern the fees that CityBase collects for its services or the ability of the government counterparty to terminate its contractual obligations.

Privacy and Data Security

In addition, as a facilitator of credit card payments, CityBase is subject to privacy and data protection laws and payment card industry best practices. CityBase is a Payment Card Industry Level-1 compliant service provider hosted in an Amazon Web Services cloud environment. CityBase takes a number of important measures to promote data privacy and data security, including adhering to the standards and requirements, as defined by the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard, using tokenization, employing 24/7 fraud and tamper detection, real-time alerting, end-to-end encryption technology, and regularly scheduled internal and external penetration testing.

Research and Development

CityBase invests substantial resources in research and development to improve its platform and develop new products and features. CityBase’s research and development organization is primarily responsible for the design, development, testing, and delivery of its products and platform.

Table of Contents

Intellectual Property

The success of CityBase depends, in part, on its ability to protect its brands and technologies against infringement and misappropriation. CityBase relies on a combination of contractual restrictions, confidentiality procedures, trade secret laws and other measures to protect its proprietary intellectual property. CityBase does not currently own any patents or hold other intellectual property registrations to protect its intellectual property.

CityBase uses certain intellectual property licensed from third parties, including software made available to the public under open-source licenses. If any proprietary software does not continue to be available on commercially reasonable terms, CityBase believes that alternative software would be available, if necessary.

CityBase cannot be certain that its products and services do not and will not infringe the intellectual property rights of others. To the extent claims against CityBase are successful, it may have to pay substantial monetary damages or discontinue or modify certain products or services that are found to infringe another party’s rights.

Employees

As of December 31, 2021, CityBase had 80 full-time employees. CityBase also uses independent contractors to support certain technical and other functions, including implementation engineers, which assist on all phases of the web-based project lifecycle, from project definition through implementation.

CityBase employees are not covered by any collective bargaining agreement, and CityBase has never experienced a work stoppage. CityBase believes that its relations with its employees are good.

eCivis Business Overview

eCivis provides cloud-based grants management and cost allocation SaaS for state, local and tribal governments and other government entities. eCivis helps thousands of public agencies maximize their grant revenues, track financial and program performance, prepare cost allocation plans and budgets, and distribute federal and state grant aid to local communities. eCivis’s grants management solutions simplify grant pursuance, proposal development, budgeting, program implementation, performance, reporting, compliance and management of direct recipients and subrecipients in one single centralized enterprise system. eCivis was founded in Pasadena, California in 2000 with the help of local government leaders at the International City/County Management Association.

Industry Background

eCivis has identified a major inefficiency in the flow of government funding between state and federal government and businesses, individuals and various local government entities. The grant funding process is inefficient, with the majority of state, local, and tribal governments lacking essential human and technical resources to pursue and manage the grant process. Instead, staff members without formal training often attempt to fit grants management into their already heavy workload, without access to standardized forms, tools or processes, resulting in inefficient strategy and lost opportunities for funding. Data and information are rarely standardized and is entered into common back-office tools such as spreadsheets and outdated grant management systems without comprehensive tracking and integration functions. Furthermore, currently existing fund management systems may be unable to monitor the proper use of funds, leading to potential mismanagement and even risk of loss and misappropriation of funds. Competitive grants are time sensitive and require immediate attention whereas procurement and internal sources take time to be approved. eCivis provides products and services that can be deployed quickly and with little technical support to address the time sensitive nature of these grant funds.

eCivis’s Products and Services

The eCivis grants management solution consists of three core cloud-based products including eCivis Grants Network^®, a full lifecycle grants management solution consisting of grants acquisition, grantee management, and grantor management SaaS, eCivis Allocate^TM, a cost allocation solution, and FundMax^TM, a full-service solution designed to maximize federal and non-federal funds, including maximizing cost reimbursements using a suite of innovative digital tools and expert support. eCivis also offers implementation services including data integration, grants data migration, project management, and change management. Additionally, eCivis provides ongoing grants management training and cost allocation plan development and consulting.

The platform provides customers with the ability to search for federal, state and foundation grants, all identified, analyzed and summarized by eCivis’s full-time professional research staff. Such grants can be searched with an easy-to-use advanced multi-factor search engine and reviewed via organized standard tabs to effectively identify the most relevant grants. Users can review application files and e-mail grants to internal and external recipients, as well as save or assign grants to internal projects. Built-in compliance tools help determine and confirm whether internal proposals and costs align with applicable federal and non-federal guidelines.

eCivis Grants Network; Grantee Management SaaS

eCivis Grants Network Grantee Management SaaS Solution allows users to manage the entire grant process, from sourcing grant application to closeout as a grantee.

Users can build and save template reports for internal and external reporting, setup required tasks at various post-award stages, integrate project tasks with e-mail calendars, manage the communication and approval of budget amendments, and access a myriad of other features and functions. Users are also able to organize and connect financial data to and from enterprise resource planning (“ERP”) and general ledger against grant budgets using data integration functions — over thirty data integrations with government ERP and general ledger are provided to serve this function. Additionally, eCivis also maps compliance requirements into standard available actions across the entire grant lifecycle, and provides a library of resource that can be accessed at any time to understand 2 CFR 200 guidelines.

eCivis Grants Network; Grantor Management SaaS

eCivis Grants Network; Grantor Management SaaS provides grantors and its applicants and grantees with the opportunity to interact with each other in a modern and scalable platform. Grant portals historically, and to some extent continuing today, have not been built to make the experience great for the grantor and the grantee. A grantor solution will track performance history, organize reimbursement requests, streamline communication, manage reporting requirements to support payments to deliver transparency of all grantee activities across all of your departments and agencies. Some of the key features of this platform include the ability to create and track grant solicitation, score and record decisions on applicants, check eligibility data, track application history, track and share performance metrics for grant goals and objectives, allocate and track multiple funding sources, track pre-award grant activity by department, project, Category of Federal Domestic Assistance, and other categories.

eCivis Allocate; Cost Allocation SaaS

eCivis Allocate tracks and compares expenditures and allocation basis by fiscal years, and provides a concise methodology for budgeting and program delivery planning. The platform allows users to maximize efficiency by minimizing time spent entering and reviewing data and producing cost and plans reports, maximize grant and program funding through cost recovery and allocation, provide a clear and concise methodology to assist in developing budgets and planning program delivery, and determine full, defensible, indirect costs to include in indirect cost rate proposals, hourly rates, user fees, and claims for reimbursement under California Senate Bill 90.

eCivis FundMax; Cost Allocation SaaS

eCivis FundMax is a full-service solution designed to maximize federal and non-federal funds, including maximizing cost reimbursements using a suite of innovative digital tools and expert support. The reimbursements from FundMax can generate the required funding to properly implement and utilize eCivis solutions.

Consulting and Training

eCivis’s team of experienced consultants and support staff provide training to improve planning, acquisition and effective management of federal and non-federal grants. Further, eCivis’s strategic grant development and grant writing service helps stakeholders develop a comprehensive solution leading to sustainable grant success by helping customers, among other things: (i) thoroughly understand key initiatives and internal projects eligible for grant funding, (ii) research grants that align to internal initiatives and organizational priorities to fill existing gaps, (iii) access organizational capacity to apply for grants successfully, (iv) align internal procurement processes and resources to pursue grant opportunities in a more efficient and effective way, and (v) draft grant proposals and provide strategic advice and consulting services to shape priorities per grant funding notices. Finally, the platform also offers a wide array of expert guides and other resources to its users.

Revenues, Sales and Marketing

eCivis derives its revenues primarily from subscription services and professional services. No single contract or customer represents a disproportionate percentage of revenue. eCivis’s subscription services revenue primarily consists of fees that provide customers access to either its grant management or cost allocation cloud applications. Such subscriptions are typically one to three years in length, and are priced based on a number of factors, including the number of users having access to the products and the number of products purchased by the customer. eCivis’s professional services revenues primarily consist of fees for data integration with the customer’s systems and the eCivis grant management application, migration of grants, training, and various grant consulting services.

eCivis focuses its sales and marketing efforts towards local, state and tribal governments and sells its solution to this market primarily through its direct sales force. The length of its sales cycle depends on the size of the potential customer and contract, as well as the type of solution or product being purchased. The sales cycle of its state government customer is generally longer than that of its local government customers. As eCivis has continued to focus on increasing its average contract size and selling more advanced products and, as a result, its sales cycle has lengthened and become less predictable, which could cause variability in results for a particular period. Additionally, the nature, complexity and extent of its implementations also have increased, which has increased and may further increase eCivis’s professional services revenues as a percentage of its overall revenues.

Research and Development

eCivis invests substantial resources in research and development to improve its platform and develop new products and features. eCivis’ research and development organization is primarily responsible for the design, development, testing, and delivery of its products and platform.

Employees

As of December 31, 2021, eCivis had 68 full-time employees. eCivis also employs independent contractors to support grant services, web development, research publishing and editing, fit-gap analysis, change management, implementation services and marketing. eCivis’s employees are not covered by any collective bargaining agreement and eCivis has never experienced a work stoppage. eCivis believes that its relations with its employees are good.

Intellectual Property

eCivis does not own any patents. eCivis owns the registered trademarks: “ECIVIS” and “GRANTS NETWORK” .

Government Regulation

Upon reasonable investigation, we are not aware of any current government regulations that negatively impact in a material way eCivis’s business or ability to compete in its markets.

OpenCounter Business Overview

OpenCounter builds SaaS to streamline municipal permitting and licensing. The company markets permit discovery portals, which help constituents to learn about permit requirements and costs, as well as permit and licensing intake forms,

Table of Contents

which allow constituents to apply and pay for permits online. By automating the permit discovery and permit application steps, these tools reduce the need for in-person meetings, and streamline the review and approval process for agency staff.

OpenCounter’s Products and Services

OpenCounter offers the following permit discovery portals and applications:

●The Business Portal helps entrepreneurs understand the costs and complexity of establishing a business in a particular jurisdiction. The tool aims to provide a comprehensive picture of permitting requirements.

●The Residential Portal educates homeowners about the rules and regulations regarding residential additions, alterations, and new construction to help plan projects and remain in compliance with city code enforcement.

●The Special Events Portal helps applicants understand the process involved in hosting a special event in a public space by handling site selection, cost estimation, and event scheduling.

●ZoningCheck shows applicants where a particular project is permitted, conditionally permitted, or prohibited according to the local zoning code. This helps applicants to understand where their project is allowed and reduces the risk of projects moving forward in areas that are not zoned for the use. ZoningCheck is often paired with the Business, Residential and Special Events Portals, although it is also offered as a stand-alone product.

●Online Applications allow applicants to apply and pay for permit and license applications online. Incoming applications are routed to agency staff for review and approval. Approved permits are issued electronically through the tool.

As part of the deployment of these products, OpenCounter also offers configuration services to set up and maintain the portals and applications on behalf of municipal customers.

Competition

There are a number of companies that offer permitting and licensing software or SaaS to municipal governments. These include Accela, Infor, and Tyler, among others. These companies built their software with an emphasis on the requirements of city staff users, with a lesser emphasis on the applicant experience.

By focusing on the applicant experience, OpenCounter found a unique niche in the market: enabling an intuitive, user-friendly experience of a complex regulatory process. While competitors allow applicants to submit permit and license applications online, their SaaS typically assumes that the applicant knows which permits and licenses are required, and the costs of those permits and licenses. In contrast, OpenCounter’s SaaS guides the applicant through the permit discovery process by calculating the impact of applicable zoning regulations on the choice of location and planned use, the permits required for the project, and the necessary permit fees. OpenCounter’s SaaS also alerts applicants about the professional licensure requirements for specific permits, such as whether a licensed contractor, electrician or plumber is needed on their project team. By automating these determinations, OpenCounter has addressed an in-person step referred to as a “pre-application meeting,” which is a time-consuming step for both applicants and city staff.

Because OpenCounter is offered as a SaaS solution, its annual pricing is significantly lower than the legacy systems, which have traditionally been on-premise software under perpetual license agreements.

Some of OpenCounter’s competition provide educational products that explain the permitting process in general terms. While helpful, these materials do not provide information tailored to specific project details. For example, a restaurant with outdoor seating, live entertainment, and alcohol service may require a different set of permits (with higher costs), than one without those options. Many cities offer PDF documents with this kind of information. For example, San Francisco and Los Angeles offer detailed “Business Portals,” but they are still based on templates.

By focusing on permit discovery, OpenCounter has remained agnostic to the back-end systems used by cities. This means that we can launch OpenCounter products in cities using Accela, Infor, or Tyler, and other competitors, without coming into direct competition with offerings from those companies.

Questica Business Overview

Questica offers budgeting, performance management, and transparency and data visualization SaaS solutions throughout North America. Questica was founded by TJ Parass in Ontario, Canada in 1998. Questica uses its 20 years of experience to provide public sector organizations with access to a complete budgeting, performance, transparency and citizen engagement toolkit to better enable data-driven budgeting and decision-making, while increasing data accuracy, saving time and improving stakeholder trust. Questica’s solutions are sold to 863 customers as of December 31, 2021, which include state and local governments and public sector organizations such as healthcare, education and not-for-profit organizations.

Questica’s Products and Services

Questica has four primary products: (i) Budget; (ii) Performance; (iii) OpenBook^®; and (iv) BudgetBook powered by CaseWare.

Budget

Questica’s Budget is a web-based, multi-user budgeting preparation and management solution that provides all budgeting SaaS requirements in one easy-to-access place. Budget is a comprehensive, streamlined budgeting SaaS product that enables users to improve and shorten an organization’s budgeting cycle by ensuring an accurate and collaborative multi-user budgeting process. It provides multi-year capital budgeting, identifies expenditures and funding sources, provides salary and position planning and performance management modules, supports the creation of future looking financial statements, enables advanced analytics and provides an integrated dashboard that shows all critical data and other relevant information together in an interactive interface. Budget directly and seamlessly integrates with Questica’s other products, which are described below, as well as the Balancing Act budget simulator created by Engaged Public, a Colorado-based public policy consulting firm with which Questica has had a business relationship since August 2018.

Performance

Questica’s Performance is a management performance measurement tool which permits users to obtain a complete view of performance across an organization. Performance, which can integrate with Budget, leverages financial and statistical data from an unlimited number of budget and non-budget key performance indicators to effectively measure performance by tracking an organization’s progress in converting its objectives and goals into desired outcomes. Performance can incorporate data from a variety of other sources such as ERP systems.

Table of Contents

OpenBook

Questica’s OpenBook is a data visualization SaaS that enables the presentation of financial and non-financial data with descriptive text, informational pop-ups, charts and graphs and includes fast information search functionality. OpenBook, which can integrate with Budget, can display capital infrastructure projects on a map, including the budget data, actual spend, funding sources and accompanying documentation, images, video and other multimedia assets. By facilitating the sharing and communication of financials and other data, OpenBook is used by organizations to communicate strategic plans, fundraising and community initiatives, disclose to citizens how tax dollars are spent, and engage with stakeholders regarding plans, projects and issues. Organizations can also link related activities to showcase the depth and scope of capital projects that are happening in a city, region, state, province or country.

Budget Book powered by CaseWare

Questica’s Budget Book powered by CaseWare is a user-friendly and comprehensive document management and financial reporting tool that allows government agencies to create, collaborate, edit, approve and publish annual budget books. Budget Book integrates with Budget and leverages CaseWare's flexible, comprehensive, and automated Public Sector Accounting Board reporting software solution. The budget book standards for the Government Financial Officers Association’s annual Distinguished Budget Presentation Award were used to develop the standard budget book preparation model for Budget Book’s interface, permitting agencies to easily prepare professional and compliant budget books that are often very time and resource intensive to produce.

Competition

The competitive landscape for budgeting SaaS, software, performance management, and transparency and data visualization solutions varies depending on the type of solution, the size of the organizations to be served and the geographical locations in which such organizations operate, but in most cases the solutions with which Questica competes are ERP solutions, Microsoft’s Excel and home-grown solutions designed by the organizations themselves.

Questica believes the principal competitive factors in its markets include:

●

Cost

●

Technology

●

User Interface

●

Customer Service

●

Integration

●

Public Sector Focus and Expertise

●

Product Breadth

●

Implementation Track Record

Questica believes that it competes favorably based on these factors.

While there are a number of competitors seeking to provide such solutions, the primary competitors include Oracle’s Hyperion Planning, ClearGov, Public Sector Digest Software, MyBudgetFile, Allovue Balance, Adaptive Insights (Workday), Kaufman Hall, OpenGov and Centage’s Budget Maestro, which each competes to differing degrees across the spectrum of organizations, geographical locations and vertical markets in which Questica operates. Questica has emerged as a market leader or strong market participant for each type of solution that it provides among these primary competitors.

Questica has focused on establishing relationships with potential customers as early in the process as possible through cold calling, email campaigns, trade show attendance and sponsorships, web marketing, referrals and Questica-sponsored regional events. Questica leverages existing customer references and its broad knowledge and understanding of the public

Table of Contents

sector and the unique budgeting challenges these customers face to compete with its primary competitors. Questica additionally differentiates itself by solely focusing its product development on the public sector and does not sell or market its products into any other types of customers.

Questica has a sales organization that sells its products, sometimes working with companies that sell complimentary solutions and refer customers to Questica. In addition, Questica uses distributors that sell, implement and provide basic support services to customers and has a number of referral arrangements with companies that introduce Questica’s products to their customers and receive referral fees for Questica contracts.

Questica is not dependent on any one customer, and no customer represented more than 10% of total revenues during each of the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020.

Research and Development

Questica invests substantial resources in research and development to improve its platform and develop new products and features. Questica’s research and development organization is primarily responsible for the design, development, testing, and delivery of its products and platform.

Employees

As of December 31, 2021, Questica had 113 full-time employees. Questica’s employees are not covered by any collective bargaining agreement and Questica has never experienced a work stoppage. Questica believes that its relations with its employees are good.

Intellectual Property

Questica does not hold any patents but has registered trademarks in the U.S. and Canada for “QUESTICA”, “OPENBOOK”, and “WHERE BRILLIANT BEGINS”.

Government Regulation

Upon reasonable investigation, we are not aware of any current government regulations that negatively impact in a material way Questica’s business or Questica’s ability to compete in the markets it pursues. However, there are regulations related to the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (“HIPAA”) and the Americans with Disabilities Act (“ADA”) that are relevant to Questica’s customers that could in the future necessitate changes to Questica’s products to be compliant, and if not addressed, could negatively impact Questica’s ability to compete for new business.

Sherpa Business Overview

Sherpa is a leading provider of public sector budgeting SaaS, perpetual license software and consulting services that help state and local governments create and manage budgets and performance. Customers purchase the right to use Sherpa’s SaaS or perpetual license software and engage Sherpa consulting services to configure the SaaS or software and train customers. Following the implementation, customers continue to use the SaaS or software while paying maintenance or subscription fees.

Sherpa’s customers benefit from a system that simplifies the budgeting process, encourages collaboration and provides detailed projections on substantial portions of their budgets. Increased access to data, including instant aggregation of the budget requests, means customers can spend more time analyzing data and less time collecting it and formatting outputs. Sherpa’s business consulting provides access to lessons learned from over 150 public sector budgeting implementations and consultants with a median of 22 years of experience in budgeting and performance management.

Sherpa’s contracts are composed of three types: (i) short-term services contracts for software implementation of three to twelve months; and (ii) on-going maintenance of one-to-five year renewable periods; and (iii) optional full service maintenance, which offers clients full system administration functions, renewable annually. Due to the investment made in implementing the SaaS or perpetual license software and the quality of the solution and support, retention rates are very high.

Table of Contents

Industry Background

Public sector budgeting has been traditionally performed by either spreadsheet that are compiled by a central office or home-grown systems. Due to the sheer amount of data and publication requirements needed by public sector organizations, using this traditional process can be challenging. Most budget processes experience a significant amount of data re-entry and re-stating, manual compilation and extensive data verification and often rely on a mostly manual preparation of required publications. While products that meet some budgeting software or SaaS requirements exist in the market, many are overly complicated to implement, priced at a point that exceeds the reservation points of most government organizations, or were built for private sector functions. Sherpa’s product is flexible enough to meet complex requirements while also scalable to lower budget customers.

Sherpa’s Products and Services

Sherpa provides public sector SaaS or perpetual license budgeting software to meet the needs of key stakeholders, executive and legislative branches, budget offices and department users. The key elements of Sherpa’s offerings are: (i) a highly configurable SaaS or perpetual license software; (ii) an experienced consulting team; and (iii) a long-term support model.

Highly Configurable SaaS and Software

Sherpa’s SaaS and software were designed to be configured by functional staff with no changes to the underlying code. Implementation teams are comprised of functional experts, not technical experts, who are able to understand business requirements and demonstrate configured SaaS or software immediately after requirements meetings. This means customers see their future solution throughout the process and can make refinements without having to wait for an entire build phase to complete.

Consulting

The members of Sherpa’s consulting team have a median of 22 years of targeted public sector budgeting experience and together have implemented over 150 public sector budgeting projects. This experience is invaluable to customers for several reasons. Customers can quickly explain their processes and Sherpa’s team will understand without multiple iterations, meaning customers dedicate a significantly lower amount of their time to engagements. When customers seek advice, Sherpa can refer them to dozens of relevant examples where other similar customers have faced similar challenges. Sherpa has many innovative customers whose collective thought leadership is channeled through Sherpa’s implementation team. Sherpa’s team has seen what has worked and what has not, so Sherpa can offer counsel on business processes redesign, including recommended timing relative to the SaaS or software project.

Support

Sherpa’s support model is designed to enable customers to use Sherpa’s SaaS or software for the long term, traversing changes in economic conditions, leadership, policy, and staff. As part of Sherpa’s basic maintenance model, customers can reach out to their consulting team at any time to get assistance, answers to questions or support with activities that are rarely done, such as annual rollovers. This results in customers getting answers to questions immediately, without the struggles of reporting issues through a chain of support staff who are not familiar with the customer processes and configuration.

Revenues

Sherpa currently earn revenues from three main sources: (i) consulting services for implementations and business process design; (ii) SaaS and software fees; and (iii) maintenance fees. Consulting services are composed of one-time implementation fees and system administrator services, where Sherpa serves as the customer’s system administrator, typically to provide coverage in stretched budget offices or to cover turnover. Software fees are made up of both perpetual license fees and subscription fees. Maintenance fees are annual fees paid by perpetual license customers to have access to customer support and software upgrades. Hosting services are also provided but are mostly pass-through to Sherpa’s hosting providers. Sherpa generally relies on approximately 30 customers for each of its three main revenue sources in a given fiscal year, which are mostly comprised of state and local governments.

Table of Contents

Sales and Marketing

Sherpa’s primary method of securing sales to date is through responses to requests for proposals. In addition, Sherpa’s target audience actively communicates with similar public sector organizations, which leads to word-of-mouth sales. To grow sales beyond responses to requests for proposals and word-of-mouth referrals, Sherpa employs the following sales and marketing strategies:

●

Limited conferences where decision-makers attend;

●

Collaboration with leading ERP vendors;

●

Pre-sales work to introduce customers to Sherpa’s offering; and

●

Selling via cooperative agreements.

Revenue Growth

Sherpa’s primary focus for revenue growth is to ensure Sherpa’s current customer base maintains a high degree of customer satisfaction. Sherpa believes that high retention of recurring revenue is critical to create the foundation for revenue growth. Sherpa also believes that high customer satisfaction provides secondary benefits, including strong references and willingness to promote the product and team.

Growing Existing Markets

Sherpa’s goals for growth focus on verticals with which Sherpa has had the most success: cities, counties and states. Sherpa’s targeted market of large, complex customers has a total available market of 450 counties, 300 cities, 49 states and 600 state agencies. There are also a large number of K-12 opportunities, which Sherpa pursues selectively due to their unique requirements.

New Markets

There are additional verticals where Sherpa’s product applies, such as federal government agencies which may be considered for long-term growth.

Technology and Operations

Sherpa’s technology leverages Microsoft’s widely used SQL Server, which is a relational database management system, and .NET software framework. The power of Sherpa’s application is derived from Sherpa’s investment in on-screen configuration, all of which is stored in the database, meaning code updates do not have customer-specific features. Since each customer has unique requirements which must be met due to statutory requirements or policy, Sherpa’s solution was built to be flexible enough to meet these requirements without code changes or customer customizations. With Sherpa’s experience with multiple other budgeting systems, Sherpa’s product was built from the ground up with the specific focus on how to create outputs in an efficient manner. Reports are fast and easy to create due to the strong design.

Sherpa’s technology infrastructure for hosted customers is provided by Amazon Web Services and is maintained by Sherpa’s vendor at Smart Panda Labs. We have multiple hosting sites. Approximately one-third of Sherpa’s customer base is serviced on-premises. Sherpa’s objective is to provide uninterrupted service 24 hours per day and seven days a week, and Sherpa’s operations maintain extensive backup, security and disaster recovery procedures.

Sherpa’s solutions are scalable and can be set up quickly for new customers. The average time to stand up a new environment is less than one day. Due to low incidences of system issues, most customers take upgrades only once per year, allowing them to complete their budget cycle uninterrupted.

Table of Contents

Competition

Nearly every competitive request for proposals in the budget space will have five or more bidders. Historically, very few are truly competitive across all scoring areas. Sherpa believes that the principal factors upon which its businesses compete are:

●

SaaS and Software capabilities — Sherpa’s SaaS and software generally meets over 98% of requirements

●

Implementation team experience — Sherpa’s team members have extensive, targeted experience

●

Support model — Sherpa’s customers have direct contact with Sherpa’s implementation team without a tiered support model

●

References — References are strong, with surveys resulting in a 9.9/10 average score

●

Price — Sherpa is generally in the 50th percentile in pricing among competitors for large to mid-sized customers

Sherpa believes Sherpa competes favorably with respect to all of the above-listed factors. Sherpa’s main competitors are much larger than Sherpa and have an advantage in name recognition. However, Sherpa believes that in public sector budgeting most decision makers are focused on procuring the best possible product and rarely factor in company size once they are satisfied with the long-term prospects of the offering.

All of Sherpa’s prospective customers have preexisting financial and human resources solutions, meaning that Sherpa also faces competition with legacy product offerings. Companies such as Infor, Workday, SAP and Oracle have a substantial market share of financial and human resources software and SaaS, which means they can up-sell their products, often without formal procurements. Sherpa has found, however, that most customers are not satisfied with enterprise resource planning budget products and are moving to best-in-breed for products such as budgeting, grants and strategic sourcing.

Sherpa’s primary competitors in the market vary by customer size:

●

Large, complex customers with over $10 billion in budget; competitors are larger, established companies such as Questica, Oracle, SAP and CGI. Integrators include Grant Thornton, Deloitte, Accenture, Ernst and Young.

●

Mid-sized customers with between $1 billion to $10 billion in budget; Questica and lower-priced integrators of expensive products such as Oracle or scaled-down offerings of the more expensive products.

●

Smaller customers with less than $1 billion in budget: Sherpa enters this space selectively, but there is more competition at this level due to price sensitivity.

Research and Development

Sherpa invests substantial resources in research and development to improve its platform and develop new products and features. Sherpa’s research and development organization is primarily responsible for the design, development, testing, and delivery of its products and platform.

Employees

As of December 31, 2021, Sherpa had 15 employees. Sherpa also employs independent contractors to support Sherpa’s hosting environments. Sherpa’s employees are not covered by any collective bargaining agreement and Sherpa has never experienced a work stoppage. Sherpa believes that its relations with its employees are good.

Government Regulation

Upon reasonable investigation, we are not aware of any current government regulations that negatively impact in a material way Sherpa’s business or ability to compete in its markets. However, there are regulations related to HIPAA and the ADA that are relevant to Sherpa’s customers that could in the future necessitate changes to Sherpa’s products to be compliant, and if not addressed, could negatively impact Sherpa’s ability to compete for new business.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

RISK FACTORS

An investment in our securities involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risks described below before making an investment decision. Our business, prospects, financial condition, or operating results could be harmed by any of these risks, as well as other risks not currently known to us or that we currently consider immaterial. The trading price of our securities could decline due to any of these risks, and, as a result, you may lose all or part of your investment.

Our risk factors are grouped into the following categories:

●

Risks Relating to Our Business and Industries;

●

Risks Relating to SaaS, the Internet, and Technology;

●

Public Sector-Related Risk Factors; and

●

General Risk Factors.

Risks Relating to Our Business and Industries

Our success depends on our ability to attract, retain and motivate key employees.

Our business is based on successfully attracting, retaining and motivating talented employees representing diverse backgrounds, experiences, and skill sets. The market for highly skilled workers and leaders in our industry is extremely competitive, including as a result of departures from the workforce and work-from-anywhere policies. Maintaining our reputation, as well as a diverse and inclusive work environment that enables all our employees to thrive, are important to our ability to recruit, retain and motivate employees. If we are not successful in our recruiting efforts, or if we cannot retain and motivate highly skilled workers and key leaders, our ability to develop and deliver successful products and services may be adversely affected. Effective succession planning is also important to our long-term success. Failure to ensure effective transfer of knowledge and smooth transitions involving key employees could hinder our strategic planning and execution. How employment-related laws are interpreted and applied to our workforce practices may result in increased operating costs and less flexibility in how we meet our workforce needs.

The ongoing integration of the business, management and operations of Bonfire, CityBase, eCivis, OpenCounter, Questica and Sherpa, and the integration of any additional acquisitions, may prove difficult, disrupt our business and operations, divert management attention and adversely affect the business and financial results of our consolidated company.

Table of Contents

We completed the business combination in February 2019, which we continue to believe will result in benefits and synergies, including our goal of establishing an efficiently integrated public sector SaaS company through our six operating subsidiaries. We may acquire additional companies or assets, or both. Together, we have believed and continue to believe our subsidiaries can offer solutions to North American state and local governments that may not otherwise be achievable by any one individual business on its own. However, our ability to realize these anticipated benefits depends on the final, successful integration of our businesses. The consolidated company may fail to realize the anticipated benefits of the business combination for a variety of reasons, including the following:

●

the inability to complete the integration of all businesses in a timely and cost-efficient manner or do so without adversely impacting revenue, operations and cash flows;

●

the failure of our management team to successfully manage the consolidated business and operations of a public company;

●

expected synergies or operating efficiencies failing to materialize in whole or part, or not occurring within expected time-frames;

●

the failure to successfully manage relationships with each company’s customers and their operating results and businesses generally (including the diversion of management time to react to new and unforeseen issues);

●

the failure or inability to timely and efficiently integrate and establish new sales forces without materially adversely impacting our relationships with customers;

●

the failure to accurately estimate the potential markets and market shares for the consolidated business’s products, the nature and extent of competitive responses to the business combination and any additional acquisitions and the ability of the consolidated business to achieve or exceed projected market growth rates;

●

the inability to attract key personnel or to retain or motivate key personnel with unique talents, expertise or background knowledge as a consequence of both voluntary and involuntary employment actions;

●

the failure to successfully advocate the benefits of our consolidated businesses for existing and potential customers or general uncertainty regarding the value proposition of the combined entity or its products;

●

difficulties forecasting financial results;

●

failures in our financial reporting, including those resulting from system implementations in the context of our ongoing integration efforts, our ability to report or forecast financial results of the consolidated business and our inability to successfully discover and assess and integrate into our reporting system, any of which may adversely impact our ability to make timely and accurate filings with the SEC and other domestic and foreign governmental agencies; and

●

the potential that we continue to not be fully aware of the risks and potential liabilities of any of Bonfire, CityBase, eCivis, OpenCounter, Questica, Sherpa or additional acquisitions.

Our ongoing integration may result in additional and unforeseen expenses or delays, distract management from other revenue or acquisition opportunities, and increase the consolidated business’s expenses and working capital requirements. If we are unable to successfully integrate all of our businesses and operations in a timely manner, the anticipated benefits of the business combination and any other acquisitions may not be fully realized, or at all, or may take longer to realize than anticipated. Should any of the foregoing or other currently unanticipated risks arise, our business and results of operations may be materially adversely impacted.

Our goodwill and other long-lived assets are subject to potential impairment that could negatively impact our earnings.

A significant portion of our assets consists of goodwill and other long-lived assets, the carrying value of which may be reduced if we determine that those assets are impaired. As of December 31, 2021, we had $355.3 million of goodwill and net intangible assets, comprising approximately 90% of our total assets. If actual results differ from the assumptions and estimates used in our goodwill and long-lived asset valuation calculations, we could incur impairment charges, which would negatively impact our earnings.

Table of Contents

During the years ended December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, we recognized non-cash goodwill impairment charges of $15.8 million and $2.0 million, respectively, related to the Acquisition. The fair value of the goodwill related to the Acquisition continues to be sensitive to changes in projections for revenue growth and earnings. Numerous risks may cause that fair value to fall below its carrying amount or the value of long-lived assets to not be recoverable. These risks include, but are not limited to, significant negative variances between actual and expected financial results, lowered expectations of future financial results, failure to fully realize anticipated synergies from acquisitions, adverse changes in the business climate, and the loss of key personnel. If we are not able to achieve projected performance levels, future impairments could be possible, which could negatively impact our earnings.

Certain liabilities resulting from acquisitions are estimated and could lead to a material impact on earnings.

As a result of our acquisition activities, we recorded liabilities for future contingent earnout payments that are settled in cash or through the issuance of common stock. Most, but not all, of those payments have been made, and the fair value of these remaining liabilities is assessed on a quarterly basis. Changes in assumptions used to determine the amount of such liabilities or a change in the fair value of our common stock could lead to an adjustment that may have a material impact, favorable or unfavorable, on our results of operations. For additional information regarding our contingent earnout liabilities, please see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Contractual Obligations” and Note 3 of our Financial Statements.

Our failure to generate sufficient cash flows from our business to make payments on our debt would adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

On November 13, 2020, we entered into a Loan and Security Agreement by and among the Company, each of the subsidiary guarantors from time to time party thereto (each a “Guarantor,” and, collectively, the “Guarantors”), the financial institutions from time to time party thereto (each, a “Lender,” and, collectively, “Lenders”), and Acquiom Agency Services LLC, a Colorado limited liability company, as agent for the Lenders (the “Loan and Security Agreement” and the facility thereunder, the “Credit Facility”). The Credit Facility is a senior secured term loan facility that provides for borrowing of term loans in an aggregate principal amount of $25,000,000. The Credit Facility has a maturity date of 30 months from the borrowing of the term loans. On the closing date, we fully drew on the Credit Facility. The Credit Facility replaced our prior $12,000,000 unsecured credit facility. The Loan and Security Agreement is supported by a security interest in our assets and the assets of the Guarantors party to the Loan and Security Agreement and to related guaranty agreements. Our ability to make scheduled payments of the principal of, to pay interest on, or to refinance the Credit Facility and any additional debt obligations we may incur depends on our future performance, which is subject to economic, financial, competitive, and other factors that may be beyond our control. Our business may not generate cash flows from operations in the future sufficient to service our debt and to make necessary capital expenditures. If we are unable to generate sufficient cash flows or if our results of operations cause us to fail to comply with our financial covenants, we may be required to take one or more actions, including refinancing our debt, significantly reducing expenses, renegotiating our debt covenants, restructuring our debt, selling assets or obtaining additional capital, each of which may be on terms that may be onerous, highly dilutive or disruptive to our business. Our ability to refinance our indebtedness will depend on the capital markets and our financial condition at such time. We may not be able to engage in any of these activities or engage in these activities on commercially reasonable or acceptable terms, which could result in a default on our obligations, including under the Credit Facility.

Our Credit Facility restricts our operations, particularly our ability to respond to changes or to take certain actions regarding our business.

The Loan and Security Agreement contains various customary covenants that limit or prohibit the Company’s ability to, among other things, (i) incur or guarantee additional indebtedness; (ii) pay certain dividends on its capital stock or redeem, repurchase, retire, or make distributions in respect of its capital stock or subordinated indebtedness or make certain other restricted payments; (iii) make certain loans, acquisitions, capital expenditures or investments; (iv) sell certain assets, including stock of its subsidiaries; (v) enter into certain sale and leaseback transactions; (vi) create or incur certain liens; (vii) consolidate, merge, sell, transfer, or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its assets; (viii) enter into certain transactions with its affiliates; and (ix) engage in certain business activities. A violation of the covenants under the Loan and Security Agreement may result in default or an event of default.

The Loan and Security Agreement also contains customary events of default that include, among other things, certain payment defaults, covenant defaults, cross-defaults to other indebtedness, change of control defaults, judgment defaults, and bankruptcy and insolvency defaults. Upon the occurrence of an event of default under the Loan and Security Agreement, the

Table of Contents

agent, at the direction of the lenders holding greater than 50% of the amounts outstanding, could elect to declare all amounts of such indebtedness outstanding to be immediately due and payable and terminate any commitments to extend further credit.

Furthermore, if we are unable to repay the amounts due and payable under the Credit Facility, those lenders could proceed against the collateral granted to them to secure that indebtedness, which could force us into bankruptcy or liquidation. In the event that our lenders accelerated the repayment of the borrowings, we may not have sufficient assets to repay that indebtedness. Any acceleration of amounts due under the Credit Facility would likely have a material adverse effect on us. As a result of these restrictions, we may be limited in how we conduct business, unable to raise additional debt or equity financing to operate during general economic or business downturns, or unable to compete effectively or take advantage of new business opportunities.

Our restated articles of organization designate the Business Litigation Session of the Superior Court of Suffolk County, Massachusetts as the sole and exclusive forum for certain types of actions and proceedings that may be initiated by our shareholders and the United States District Court in Boston as the sole and exclusive forum for any claim arising under the Securities Act, which could discourage lawsuits against us and our directors and officers.

Our restated articles of organization designate the Business Litigation Session of the Superior Court of Suffolk County, Massachusetts as the sole and exclusive forum for any derivative action or proceeding brought on our behalf, any action asserting a claim for breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any of our directors, officers, employees or agents to us or our shareholders, any action asserting a claim arising pursuant to any provision of the Massachusetts Business Corporation Act, our articles of organization or our bylaws or any action asserting a claim governed by the internal affairs doctrine, in all cases subject to the court’s having personal jurisdiction over the indispensable parties named as defendants. Our restated articles of organization designate the United States District Court in Boston as the sole and exclusive forum for any claim arising under the Securities Act or any claim for which other courts do not have subject matter jurisdiction including, without limitation, any claim arising under the Exchange Act. This exclusive forum provision may limit the ability of our shareholders to bring a claim in a judicial forum that such shareholders find favorable for disputes with us or our directors or officers, which may discourage such lawsuits against us and our directors and officers. Alternatively, if the Business Litigation Session of the Superior Court of Suffolk County, Massachusetts, the United States District Court in Boston or a court outside of Massachusetts were to find this exclusive forum provision inapplicable to, or unenforceable in respect of, one or more of the specified types of actions or proceedings described above, we may incur additional costs associated with resolving such matters in other venues or jurisdictions, which could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, operating results, cash flows and prospects.

Risks Relating to SaaS, the Internet and Technology

Cyber attacks and security vulnerabilities can disrupt our business and harm our competitive position.

Threats to information technology security can take a variety of forms. Individuals and groups of hackers, and sophisticated organizations including state-sponsored organizations, may threaten our information technology or our customers’ information technology. These individuals, groups and organizations may develop and deploy malicious software to attack our products and services and gain access to our networks and data centers, or act in a coordinated manner to launch distributed denial of service or other coordinated attacks. Cyber threats are constantly evolving, thereby increasing the difficulty of detecting and successfully defending against them. Cyber threats can have cascading impacts that unfold with increasing speed across our internal networks and systems and those of our customers and companies with which we have business relationships. Breaches of our network or data security could disrupt the security of our internal systems and business applications, impair our ability to provide services to our customers and protect the privacy of our data, result in product development delays, compromise confidential or technical business information harming our competitive position, result in theft or misuse of our intellectual property or other assets, require us to allocate more resources to improve technologies, or otherwise adversely affect our business. Our business policies and internal security controls may not keep pace with these evolving threats.

Disclosure of personally identifiable information or other sensitive customer data could result in liability and harm our reputation.

We store and process large amounts of personally identifiable and other confidential information of our customers. The continued occurrence of high-profile data breaches provides evidence of an external environment increasingly hostile to data security. Despite our efforts to improve security controls, it is possible that our security controls over personal data, training of employees on data security, and other practices may not prevent the improper disclosure of customer data that we store and

Table of Contents

manage. Disclosure of personally identifiable information or other sensitive customer data could result in material liability and harm our reputation. Additionally, data privacy and security are evolving areas of the law and our business may become subject to new and expanding regulations. Application of these new and changing laws to our business may increase risks and compliance costs.

Hosting services for some of our products and services are dependent upon the uninterrupted operation of data centers.

A material portion of our business is provided through SaaS. These hosting services depend on the uninterrupted operation of data centers and the ability to protect computer equipment and information stored in these data centers against damage that may be caused by natural disaster, fire, power loss, telecommunications or internet failure, acts of terrorism, unauthorized intrusion, computer viruses, and other similar damaging events. If any of our data centers were to become inoperable for an extended period, we might be unable to fulfill our contractual commitments. Although we take what we believe to be reasonable precautions against such occurrences, we can give no assurance that damaging events such as these will not result in a prolonged interruption of our services, which could result in customer dissatisfaction, loss of revenue, and damage to our business.

We run the risk of errors or defects with new products or enhancements to existing products.

Our SaaS products and related services are complex and may contain errors or defects, especially when first introduced or when new versions or enhancements are released. We cannot assure you that material defects and errors will not be found in the future. Any such defects could result in a loss of revenues, negative publicity, or delay market acceptance. Our license and subscription agreements typically contain provisions designed to limit our exposure to potential liability. However, it is possible we may not always successfully negotiate such provisions in our customer contracts or the limitation of liability provisions may not be effective due to existing or future federal, state, or local laws, ordinances, or judicial decisions, or customers declining to negotiate these provisions. We cannot assure you that a successful claim could not be made or would not have a material adverse effect on our future operating results.

We must timely respond to technological changes to be competitive.

The market for our products is characterized by technological change, evolving industry standards in SaaS technology, changes in customer requirements, and frequent new product and service introductions and enhancements. The introduction of products and services embodying new technologies and the emergence of new industry standards can render existing products obsolete and unmarketable. As a result, our future success will depend, in part, upon our ability to enhance existing products and develop and introduce new products and services that keep pace with technological developments, satisfy increasingly sophisticated customer requirements, and achieve market acceptance. We cannot assure you that we will successfully identify new product and service opportunities and develop and bring new products and services to market in a timely and cost-effective manner. The products, capabilities, or technologies developed by others could also render our products or technologies obsolete or noncompetitive. Our business may be adversely affected if we are unable to develop or acquire new SaaS products or related services or develop enhancements to existing products on a timely and cost-effective basis, or if such new products or services or enhancements do not achieve market acceptance.

We may be unable to protect our proprietary rights.

Many of our product and service offerings incorporate proprietary information, trade secrets, know-how, and other intellectual property rights. We rely on a combination of contracts, copyrights, and trade secret laws to establish and protect our proprietary rights in our technology. We cannot be certain that we have taken all appropriate steps to deter misappropriation of our intellectual property. There has also been significant litigation involving intellectual property rights. We are, and in the future may be, a party to litigation to protect our proprietary information, trade secrets, know-how, and other intellectual property rights. We cannot assure you that third parties will not assert infringement or misappropriation claims against one or more of the products or services with respect to current or future products or services. Any claims or litigation, with or without merit, could be time consuming, costly, and a diversion to management. Any such claims and litigation could also cause product delivery delays or service interruptions or require us to enter into royalty or licensing arrangements. Such royalty or licensing arrangements, if required, may not be available on terms acceptable to us, if at all. Therefore, litigation to defend and enforce our intellectual property rights could have a material adverse effect on our business, regardless of the final outcome of such litigation.

Table of Contents

Customers may elect to terminate our maintenance contracts and manage operations internally.

It is possible that our customers may elect to not renew maintenance contracts for our software, trying instead to maintain and operate the software themselves using their perpetual license rights (excluding software applications provided on a hosted or cloud basis). This could adversely affect our revenues and profits. Additionally, they may inadvertently allow our intellectual property or other information to fall into the hands of third parties, including our competitors, which could adversely affect our business.

Material portions of our business require the internet infrastructure to be further developed or adequately maintained.

Part of our future success continues to depend on the use of the internet to access public information and perform transactions electronically. This in part requires the further and continuing development and maintenance of the internet infrastructure. Among other things, this further and continuing development and maintenance will require a reliable network backbone with the necessary speed, data capacity, and security, and the timely development of complementary products for providing reliable internet access and services. If this infrastructure fails to be further developed or be adequately maintained, our business would be harmed because users may not be able to access our government portals.

Security breaches or unauthorized access to payment information, including credit card and debit card data, or personal information that we, or our service providers, store, process, use, or transmit for our business may harm our reputation, cause service disruptions, and adversely affect our business and results of operations.

A significant challenge to electronic commerce is the secure transmission of payment information or personal information over information technology networks and systems that process, transmit and store electronic information, and manage or support a variety of business processes. The collection, maintenance, use, disclosure, and disposal of payment information and personal information by our business is regulated at state and federal levels, and cybersecurity legislation, executive orders, and reporting requirements continue to evolve and become more complex. Because we either directly or indirectly through service providers (i) provide the electronic transmission of sensitive and personal information released from and filed with various government entities and (ii) perform online payment and electronic check processing services, we face the risk of a security breach, whether through system attacks, hacking events, acts of vandalism or theft, malware, viruses, human errors, catastrophes, or other unforeseen events that could lead to significant disruptions or compromises of information technology networks and systems or the unauthorized release or use of payment information or personal information. Additionally, vulnerabilities in the security of our own internal systems or those of our service providers could compromise the confidentiality of, or result in unauthorized access to, personal information of our employees.

We rely on encryption and authentication technology purchased or licensed from third parties to provide the security and authentication tools to effectively secure transmission of confidential information, including user credit card and debit card information and banking data. Advances in computer capabilities, new discoveries in the field of cryptography, threats that evolve ahead of tools designed to counter them, or other developments may result in the breach or compromise of technology used by them to protect transaction data. Data breaches can also occur as a result of non-technical issues, such as so-called “social engineering,” or “phishing,” where individuals are manipulated into divulging confidential or personal information.

Despite the various security measures that we have in place to protect payment and personal information from unauthorized disclosure and to comply with applicable laws and regulations, our information technology networks and systems and those of our third-party vendors and service providers cannot be made completely secure against security breaches or disruptions. Even the most well protected information, networks, systems, and facilities remain vulnerable to security breaches or disruptions because (i) the techniques used in such attempts are constantly evolving and generally are not recognized until launched against a target, and in some cases are designed not to be detected and, in fact, may not be detected for an extended period and (ii) the security methodologies, protocols, systems, and procedures used for protection are implemented by humans at each level, and human errors may occur. Accordingly, we may be unable to anticipate these techniques or to implement adequate security barriers or other preventative measures, or if such measures are implemented, and even if appropriate training is conducted in support of such measures, human errors may still occur. It is impossible for us to entirely mitigate this risk. A party, whether internal or external, able to circumvent our security measures, or those of our service providers, could misappropriate information, including but not limited to payment information and personal information, or cause interruptions or direct damage to companies with which we have relationships or that are users.

Under payment card rules and our contracts with our credit card processors, if there is a breach of payment card information that we store, process, or transmit, we could be subject to fines and be required to pay damages. We could also

Table of Contents

be liable to customers and vendors for costs of investigation, notification, remediation, and credit monitoring and for any damages to users under applicable laws or our customer and vendor contracts.

In addition, any noncompliance with privacy and security laws or a security breach involving the misappropriation, loss or other unauthorized access, use, or disclosure of payment information or personal information, or other significant disruption involving our information technology networks and systems, or those of our service providers (whether or not caused by a breach of our contractual obligations or our negligence), may lead to negative publicity, impair our ability to conduct our business, subject us to private litigation and government investigations and enforcement actions, and cause us to incur potentially significant liability, damages, or remediation costs. It may also cause the governments with whom we contract to lose confidence in us, any of which may cause the termination or modification of our government contracts and impair our ability to win future contracts. Actual or anticipated attacks and risks affecting our environment, our service providers’ environments, or our government customers’ environments may cause us to incur increasing costs, including costs to deploy additional personnel and protection technologies, to train employees, and to engage third-party security experts and consultants. Our insurance coverage may be insufficient to cover or protect against the costs, liabilities, and other adverse effects arising from a security breach or system disruption. If we fail to reasonably maintain the security of confidential information, we may also suffer significant reputational and financial losses, and our results of operations, cash flows, financial condition, and liquidity may be adversely affected.

We may be unable to integrate new technologies and industry standards effectively, which may adversely affect our business and results of operations.

Our future success will depend on our ability to enhance and improve the responsiveness, functionality, and features of our services in accordance with industry standards and to address the increasingly sophisticated technological needs of our customers on a cost-effective and timely basis. Our ability to remain competitive will depend, in part, on our ability to:

●

enhance and improve the responsiveness, functionality, and other features of the government services we offer;

●

continue to develop our technical expertise;

●

develop and introduce new services, applications, and technology to meet changing customer needs and preferences; and

●

influence and respond to emerging industry standards and other technological changes in a timely and cost-effective manner.

We cannot ensure that we will be successful in responding to the above technological and industry challenges in a timely and cost-effective manner. If we are unable to integrate new technologies and industry standards effectively, our business could be harmed.

Public Sector-Related Risk Factors

Selling products and services into the public sector poses unique challenges.

We derive substantially all of our revenues from sales of SaaS and related services to state, county, and city governments; utilities; tribal governments; and other public entities. We expect that sales to public sector customers will continue to account for substantially all of our revenues in the future. We face many risks and challenges associated with selling to and contracting with governmental entities, including:

●

long and complex sales cycles that vary significantly according to each government entity’s policies and procedures;

●

the potential need for governments to draft and adopt specific legislation before they can circulate a request for proposal or other solicitation to which we can respond or before they can otherwise award a contract or provide a new digital service;

●

varying bid procedures and internal processes for bid acceptance and bid protests;

●

contract payments at times being subject to achieving implementation milestones, and differences with customers as to whether milestones have been achieved;

Table of Contents

●

political resistance to government agencies contracting with third parties to receive or distribute public information, which governments traditionally have offered without charge;

●

legislative changes that temporarily or permanently affect governments’ authority to contract with third parties or receive or distribute public information or that increase our costs or result in a temporary or permanent suspension of our services;

●

regulations that govern the fees governments collect for many of our services, limiting their control over the level of transaction-based fees governments are permitted to retain;

●

various other political factors, including changes in governmental administrations and personnel that, among other things, could impact existing requests for proposals and other procurements, rebids, renewals, or extensions;

●

challenges to contractual terms and conditions that are common in the private sector, including customary warranties, limitations on liability, and indemnification;

●

government budget deficits and appropriation approval processes and periods, any of which could cause governments to curtail spending on services, including time- and materials-based fees for application development, fixed fees for portal management, and material reductions in tax revenue; and

●

resource limitations caused by budgetary constraints or non-appropriation of funds that may result in a termination of, or reduction in revenue from, executed contracts due to a lack of future funding.

Each of these risks is outside our control. If we fail to adequately adapt to these risks and uncertainties, our financial performance could be adversely affected.

A prolonged economic slowdown could harm our operations.

A prolonged economic slowdown, recession, or inflation could reduce demand for our SaaS products and services. Local and state governments may face financial pressures caused by reduced tax revenue that could in turn affect our growth rate and profitability in the future, including as a result of the public health crises, epidemics, and pandemics such as the COVID-19 pandemic. Local and state spending levels may be affected by declining or stagnant general economic conditions, and if budget shortfalls occur, they may negatively impact local and state information technology spending and could adversely affect our business.

The open bidding process creates uncertainty in predicting future contract awards.

Many governmental agencies purchase products and services through an open bidding process. Generally, a governmental entity will publish an established list of requirements requesting potential vendors to propose solutions for the established requirements. To respond successfully to these requests for proposals, we must accurately estimate their cost structure for servicing a proposed contract, the time required to establish operations for the proposed customer, and the likely terms of any other third-party proposals submitted. We cannot guarantee that we will win any bids in the future through the request for proposal process, or that any winning bids will ultimately result in contracts on favorable terms. Our failure to secure contracts through the open bidding process, or to secure such contracts on favorable terms, may adversely affect our revenue and gross margins.

We face significant competition from other vendors and potential new entrants into our markets.

We face competition from a variety of software and SaaS vendors that offer products and services similar to those offered by us, as well as from companies offering to develop custom software and SaaS. We compete based on a number of factors, including the following:

●

the breadth, depth, and quality of our product and service offerings;

●

the ability to modify our offerings to accommodate particular customers’ needs;

●

technological innovation; and

Table of Contents

●

name recognition, reputation, and references.

We believe the market is highly fragmented with a large number of competitors that vary in size, product platform, and product scope. Our competitors include consulting firms, publicly held companies that focus on selected segments of the public sector market, and a significant number of smaller, privately held companies. Certain competitors have greater technical, marketing, and financial resources than we do. We cannot assure you that such competitors will not develop products or offer services that are superior to our products or services or that achieve greater market acceptance.

We also compete with internal, centralized information technology departments of governmental entities, which requires us to persuade the end users to stop internal services and outsource to us. In addition, our customers and prospective customers could elect to provide information management services internally through new or existing departments, which could reduce the market for our services.

We could face additional competition as other established and emerging companies enter the public sector SaaS application market and new products and technologies are introduced. Increased competition could result in pricing pressure, fewer customer orders, reduced gross margins, and loss of market share. Current and potential competitors may make strategic acquisitions or establish cooperative relationships or business combinations among themselves or with third parties, thereby increasing the ability of their products and services to address the needs of our prospective customers. It is possible that new competitors or alliances may emerge and rapidly gain significant market share. We cannot assure you that we will be able to compete successfully against current and future competitors, and the failure to do so would have a material adverse effect upon our business.

Our ability to grow revenues may be limited by the number of governments and government agencies that choose to provide digital government solutions such as those we offer.

Our revenues are generated principally from contracts with state and local governments and government agencies to provide digital government solutions on behalf of those government entities to complete transactions and distribute public information digitally. The growth in our revenues largely will depend on government entities adopting solutions such as those offered by us. We cannot ensure that government entities will choose to provide digital government services or continue to provide digital government services at current levels, or that they will provide such services with private assistance or by adopting solutions such as those we offer. The failure to secure contracts with certain government agencies could result in revenue levels insufficient to support our operations on a self-sustained, profitable basis.

We are subject to independent audits as requested by our government customers. Deficiencies in our performance under a government contract could result in contract termination, reputational damage, or financial penalties.

Each government entity with which we contract for outsourced portal services may have the authority to require an independent audit of our performance and financial management of contracted operations. The scope of audits could include inspections of income statements, balance sheets, fee structures, collections practices, service levels, security practices, and our compliance with contract provisions and applicable laws, regulations, and standards. The expansion of our operations into new markets and services may further expose us to requirements and potential liabilities under additional statutes and rules that have previously not been relevant to our business. We cannot ensure that a future audit will not find any material performance deficiencies that would result in an adjustment to our revenues or result in financial penalties. Moreover, any consequent negative publicity could harm our reputation among other governments with which we would like to contract. These factors could harm our business, results of operations, cash flows, and financial condition.

General Risk Factors

Legal proceedings and investigations could harm our business and result in substantial costs.

We may be involved in various claims, suits, investigations, and legal proceedings that arise from time to time in the ordinary course of business. Additional legal claims or regulatory matters affecting us and our subsidiaries may arise in the future and could involve stockholder, consumer, regulatory, compliance, intellectual property, antitrust, tax, and other issues. Litigation and investigations inherently are unpredictable. Regardless of the merits, litigation or investigations may be costly, time-consuming and disruptive to our business. We could incur costs for responding, judgments or settlements that could adversely affect our operating results or cash flows in a particular period. In addition, our business, operating results, and financial condition could be adversely affected if any infringement or other intellectual property claim made against us by any third party is successful, or if we fail to develop non-infringing technology or license the proprietary rights on commercially reasonable terms and conditions.

Table of Contents

Fluctuations in quarterly revenue could adversely impact our operating results and stock price.

Our revenues and operating results are difficult to predict and may fluctuate substantially from quarter to quarter for a variety of reasons, including:

●

Prospective customers’ contracting decisions are often made in the last few weeks of a quarter;

●

The size of SaaS transactions can vary significantly;

●

Customers may unexpectedly postpone or cancel procurement processes due to changes in strategic priorities, project objectives, budget, or personnel;

●

Customer purchasing processes vary significantly and a customer’s internal approval, expenditure authorization, and bid protest and contract negotiation processes can be difficult and time consuming to complete, even after selection of a vendor;

●

The number, timing, and significance of SaaS product enhancements and new SaaS product announcements by us and our competitors may affect purchase decisions;

●

We may have to defer revenues under our revenue recognition policies; and

●

Customers may elect subscription-based arrangements, which result in lower revenues in the initial year as compared to traditional, on-premise software license arrangements, but generate higher overall subscription-based revenues over the term of the contract.

In each fiscal quarter, our expense levels, operating costs, and hiring plans are based to some extent on projections of future revenues and are relatively fixed. If our actual revenues fall below expectations, we could experience a reduction in operating results. Also, if actual revenues or earnings for any given quarter fall below expectations, it may lead to a decline in our stock price.

Increases in service revenue as a percentage of total revenues could decrease overall margins.

We realize lower margins on service revenues than on revenue from SaaS subscription or software licenses. The majority of our contracts include both SaaS and professional services. Therefore, an increase in the percentage of professional service revenue compared to SaaS revenue could have a detrimental impact on our overall gross margins and could adversely affect operating results.

Our stock price may be volatile.

The market price of our common stock may be volatile. Examples of factors that may significantly impact our stock price include:

●

actual or anticipated fluctuations in our operating results;

●

announcements of technological innovations, new products, or new contracts by us or our competitors;

●

developments with respect to patents, copyrights, or other proprietary rights;

●

conditions and trends in the SaaS and other technology industries;

●

adoption of new accounting standards, statements or interpretations affecting the SaaS industry, public companies and former special purpose acquisition companies;

●

changes in financial estimates by securities analysts; and

●

general market conditions and other factors.

In addition, the stock market historically has experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that have particularly affected the market prices of technology company stocks and may in the future adversely affect the market price of our stock.

Table of Contents

Sometimes, securities class action litigation is filed following periods of volatility in the market price of a particular company’s securities, and regulatory investigations impacting us may occur over which we have limited or no control. We cannot assure you that similar litigation or investigations will not occur in the future with respect to us. Such litigation or investigations could result in substantial costs and a diversion of management’s attention and resources, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial performance.

Future sales of shares by existing or future stockholders could cause our stock price to decline.

Sales of a substantial number of shares of our common stock in the public market could occur at any time. These sales, or the perception in the market that the holders of many shares of common stock intend to sell shares, could reduce the market price of our common stock. A significant number of our shares became free of resale restrictions on February 19, 2020, which was one year from the business combination. Additionally, a significant number of restricted stock units that may be settled in shares of common stock have been granted and will vest from time to time. The presence of additional unrestricted and vested shares of common stock may have an adverse effect on the market price of our securities.

Exercise of warrants for common stock would increase the number of shares eligible for future resale in the public market and result in dilution to our stockholders.

As of December 31, 2021, we had warrants to purchase 27,093,334 shares of common stock outstanding. Each whole warrant is exercisable to purchase one share of common stock at $11.50 per share. While our stock price currently is substantially under the exercise price of the warrants – they are, in other words, underwater – to the extent such warrants are exercised, additional shares of common stock will be issued, which will result in dilution to the then-existing holders of common stock and increase the number of shares eligible for resale in the public market. Moreover, this warrant overhang may limit future increases in the price of our common stock if the trading price nears the exercise price of the warrants. Sales of substantial numbers of such shares in the public market could adversely affect the market price of our common stock.

Our financial outlook may not be realized.

From time to time, in press releases and otherwise, we may publish forecasts or other forward-looking statements regarding our results, including estimated revenues or earnings. Any forecast of our future performance reflects various assumptions. These assumptions are subject to significant uncertainties, and as a matter of course, any number of them may prove to be incorrect. Further, the achievement of any forecast depends on numerous risks and other factors (including those described in this Risk Factors section), many of which are beyond our control. As a result, we cannot be certain that our performance will be consistent with any management forecasts or that the variation from such forecasts will not be material and adverse. Current and potential stockholders are cautioned not to base their entire analysis of our business and prospects upon isolated predictions but instead are encouraged to utilize our entire publicly available mix of historical and forward-looking information when evaluating our prospective results of operations.

Our quarterly results of operations may be volatile and difficult to predict. If our quarterly results of operations, future growth, profitability or dividends fail to meet the expectations of public market analysts or investors, the market price of our common stock may decline.

Our future revenues and results of operations may vary significantly from quarter to quarter due to a number of factors, many of which are outside of our control, and any of which may harm our business. These factors include:

●

the commencement, completion, or termination of contracts during any quarter;

●

the introduction of new services by us or our competitors;

●

technical difficulties or system downtime affecting the operation of our services;

●

the amount and timing of operating costs and capital expenditures relating to the expansion of our business operations and infrastructure;

●

unexpected changes in federal, state and local legislation that increase our costs and/or result in a temporary or permanent decrease in our revenues;

●

any federal government shutdown, such as the shutdown which commenced in December 2020, each of which impacts the ability of our customers to purchase our products and services;

●

the seasonal use of some of our services, particularly the payment of real estate taxes;

●

changes in economic conditions;

significant charges related to acquisitions.

Due to the factors noted above and the other factors described in this Risk Factors section, our financial performance in a quarter may be lower than we anticipate and if we are unable to reduce spending in that quarter, our results of operations for that quarter may be harmed. One should not rely on quarter-to-quarter comparisons of our results of operations as an indication of future performance. It is possible that in some future periods our results of operations may be below the expectations of public market analysts and investors. If this occurs, the price of our common stock may decline. In addition, if we fail to meet expectations related to future growth, profitability, dividends or other market expectations, the price of our common stock may decline.

Each operating subsidiary’s management and our independent registered public accounting firm have previously identified internal control deficiencies, which such management and independent registered public accounting firm believed constituted material weaknesses. If we fail to establish and maintain effective internal control over financial reporting in the future, our ability to timely and accurately report our financial results could be adversely affected.

Each of our operating subsidiaries was previously a private company not subject to SEC rules implementing Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and, therefore, was not required to make a formal assessment of the effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting. We are required to comply with the SEC’s rules implementing parts of Sections 302 and 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (other than Section 302(c) and 404(b) until we cease to be an emerging growth company and a smaller reporting company), which require management to certify financial and other information in quarterly and annual reports and provide an annual management report on the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. We were an emerging growth company until December 31, 2021 and continue to be a smaller reporting company.

Although our operating subsidiaries had not made assessments of the effectiveness of their internal control over financial reporting and did not engage their independent registered public accounting firms to conduct audits of their internal control over financial reporting, in connection with the audits of the their financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, each operating subsidiary’s management and independent registered public accounting firm previously identified one or more material weaknesses relating to such subsidiary’s internal control over financial reporting under standards established by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, or PCAOB. The PCAOB defines a material weakness as 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 a company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. A deficiency in internal control exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent or detect misstatements on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting that is less severe than a material weakness, yet important enough to merit attention by those responsible for oversight of a company’s financial reporting.

The material weaknesses previously identified by the operating subsidiaries and their independent registered public accounting firm included: (i) deficiencies in Bonfire’s period end financial statement close process, (ii) each of CityBase’s, eCivis’s, OpenCounter’s and Sherpa’s limited segregation of duties with regard to financial reporting activities such as payroll entry and processing due to the size of their respective accounting departments, (iii) deficiencies in Questica’s period end financial statement close process, and (iv) deficiencies in the accounting treatment and classification of the Company’s private warrants.

We believe that we have remediated these material weaknesses and improved the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting by implementing additional controls related thereto.

There is no assurance that any measures we may take in the future will be sufficient to remediate the material weaknesses described above or to avoid potential future material weaknesses. If management fails to establish and maintain effective internal control over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures, we may not be able to produce timely and accurate financial statements and meet our SEC reporting obligations, which could result in sanctions by Nasdaq or the SEC. This could result in a loss of investor confidence and could lead to a decline in our stock price.

The impact of a coronavirus outbreak, or similar global health concerns, could negatively impact our operations, supply chain, and customer base.

Our operations for certain of our products or services could be negatively impacted by the regional or global outbreak of illnesses, including the coronavirus disease known as COVID-19. Any quarantines, labor shortages or other disruptions to our operations, or those of our customers, may adversely impact our sales and operating results. The absence of funding for state and local governments, which constitute substantially all the Company’s customers, also may result in a reduction in revenue from, or cancellation of, the Company’s contracts. That, too, may adversely impact our sales and operating results. In addition, a significant outbreak of epidemic, pandemic or contagious diseases in the human population could result in a widespread health crisis that could adversely affect the economies and financial markets of Canada, another country in which we operate, resulting in an economic downturn that could affect demand for our products and services. We are unable to accurately predict the possible future effect on the Company of the continuing COVID-19 pandemic or if another coronavirus or other disease expands domestically or globally.

The JOBS Act permits “emerging growth companies” like us to take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies.

We qualify as an “emerging growth company” as defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the Securities Act, as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, which we refer to as the “JOBS Act.” As such, we take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies for as long as we continue to be an emerging growth company, including (i) the exemption from the auditor attestation requirements with respect to internal control over financial reporting under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “Sarbanes-Oxley Act”), (ii) the exemptions from say-on-pay, say-on-frequency and say-on-golden parachute voting requirements, and (iii) reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements. As a result, our stockholders may not have access to certain information they deem important. We had revenues during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 of approximately $60.5 million. We will remain an emerging growth company until the earliest of (i) the last day of the fiscal year (a) following November 1, 2021, the fifth anniversary of the GTY Cayman initial public offering, (b) in which we have total annual gross revenue of at least $1.07 billion or (c) in which we are deemed to be a large accelerated filer, which means the market value of our common stock that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the last business day of our prior second fiscal quarter, unless we continue to be a smaller reporting company, and (ii) the date on which we have issued more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt securities during the prior three-year period.

In addition, Section 107 of the JOBS Act provides that an emerging growth company can take advantage of the exemption from complying with new or revised accounting standards provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act as long as we are an emerging growth company. An emerging growth company can therefore delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies, but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. We have elected not to opt out of such extended transition period, which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, we, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of our financial statements with another public company that is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company that has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.

We cannot predict whether investors will find our securities less attractive because we will rely on these exemptions. If some investors find our securities less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for securities and our stock price may be more volatile.

We are a smaller reporting company (and may remain a smaller reporting company even after losing emerging growth company status), and any decision on our part to comply only with certain reduced or scaled reporting and disclosure requirements applicable to smaller companies could make our common stock less attractive to investors.

We are a “smaller reporting company” (as defined in Rule 12b-2 promulgated under the Exchange Act), and, for as long as we continue to be a smaller reporting company (which may be longer than we remain an emerging growth company), we

Table of Contents

may choose to take advantage of exemptions from various reporting requirements applicable to other public companies but not to smaller reporting companies, including but not limited to:

●

not being required to have our independent registered public accounting firm audit our internal control over financial reporting under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act;

●

reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements; and

●

providing only two years of audited financial statements or compensation-related disclosure in our periodic reports and proxy statements.

There is no material litigation, arbitration or governmental proceeding currently pending against us or any members of our management team in their capacity as such, and we and the members of our management team have not been subject to any such proceeding in the 12 months preceding the date of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. On March 19, 2021, the Company received a request (the “Request”) from the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for documents relating to the Company’s business combination consummated on February 19, 2019 and related transactions, including those described in a Form 8-K filed by the Company on February 14, 2019. The Company cooperated in the SEC’s investigation, delivered its last response to the Request on August 6, 2021, and intends to cooperate with any additional requests it receives from the SEC.

Item 5. Market for Registrant’s Common Equity, Related Shareholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities.

Market Information

Our common stock trades on Nasdaq under the symbol “GTYH.”

Holders of Record

At February 18, 2022, there were 95 holders of record of our common stock and 3 holders of record of our warrants. The number of record holders does not include beneficial holders who hold their shares in “street name,” meaning that the shares are held for their accounts by a broker or other nominee. Accordingly, we believe the total number of beneficial holders is higher than the number of our shareholders of record.

Dividends

We have not paid any cash dividends on our common stock to date and GTY did not pay cash dividends prior to the consummation of the business combination. The payment of cash dividends in the future will be dependent upon our revenues and earnings, if any, capital requirements and general financial condition. The payment of any cash dividends will be within the discretion of our board of directors. In addition, our board of directors is not currently contemplating and does not anticipate declaring stock dividends in the foreseeable future.

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

References to the “Company,” “GTY”, “our,” “us” or “we” refer to GTY Technology Holdings Inc. The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. This discussion contains forward-looking statements reflecting our current expectations, estimates and assumptions concerning events and financial trends that may affect our future operating results or financial position. Actual results and the timing of events may differ materially from those contained in these forward-looking statements due to a number of factors, including those discussed in the sections entitled “Risk Factors” and “Forward-Looking Statements” appearing elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Overview

We are a public-sector company that offers a cloud-based suite of solutions primarily for North American state and local governments. Our six wholly owned subsidiaries are Bonfire, CityBase, eCivis, OpenCounter, Questica and Sherpa. Through our operating subsidiaries, we serve segments in the government technology sector, specifically procurement, payments, grants management, permitting, and budgeting.

We were formed on August 11, 2016, for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses (the “business combination”). Until the business combination, we did not engage in any operations nor generate any revenues. We recognized an opportunity to replace costly legacy on-premises software systems with scalable and efficient SaaS products. Our search led to the acquisition (the “Acquisition”) of Bonfire, CityBase, eCivis, OpenCounter, Questica, and Sherpa on February 19, 2019 (the “Closing Date”).

Our customers are primarily located in the United States and Canada, including counties, municipalities, special districts, law enforcement agencies, public-school districts and tribal governments. We plan to further increase our customer base by leveraging our comprehensive product portfolio with our existing customer base, investing in direct sales to new customers, and using relationships with complementary products and services.

Expansion and Further Penetration of Our Customer Base.

We employ a strategy that focuses on acquiring new customers and growing our relationships with existing customers over time. We believe significant opportunity exists for us to acquire new customers as well as expand the use of our platforms by selling additional products and increasing the number of users within our current customers’ organizations.

Investment in Growth.

We plan to continue to invest in our business so that we can capitalize on our market opportunity. We intend to continue to grow our sales and marketing team to acquire new customers and to increase sales to existing customers. We intend to continue to grow our research and development team to extend the functionality and range of our applications. We also intend to invest in new and improved information technology solutions to support our business. However, we expect our sales and marketing expenses and research and development expenses as a percentage of revenues to decrease over time as we grow our revenues and gain economies of scale by increasing our customer base and increase sales to our existing customer base. We believe that these investments will contribute to our long-term growth, although they may adversely affect our profitability in the near term.

Leveraging Relationships.

We plan to continue to strengthen and expand our relationships with technology vendors, professional services firms, and resellers. These relationships enable us to increase the speed of deployment and offer a wider range of integrated services to our customers. We intend to support these existing relationships, seek additional relationships and further expand our channel of resellers to help us increase our presence in existing markets and to expand into new markets. Our business and results of operations will continue to be significantly affected by whether we succeed in leveraging and expanding these relationships.

Market Adoption of Our Platforms.

A key focus of our sales and marketing efforts is creating market awareness about the benefits of our cloud-based SaaS platforms. The market for SaaS solutions remains less mature than the market for on-premises software applications, and

Table of Contents

potential customers may be slow or unwilling to migrate from their legacy solutions. Our business and operating results will be significantly affected by the degree to and speed with which organizations adopt our solutions.

Key Components of our Results of Operations

Revenues

Subscription, support and maintenance

We deliver SaaS that provides customers with access to SaaS-related support and updates during the term of the arrangement. Revenues are recognized ratably over the contract term as the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits of the subscription service. Subscription fees for the first year are typically payable within 30 days after the execution of a contract, and thereafter upon renewal. We initially record subscription fees as contract liabilities and recognize revenues on a straight-line basis over the term of the agreement.

Our contracts may include variable consideration in the form of usage fees, which are included in the transaction price in the period in which the usage occurs and the fee is known.

Subscription, support and maintenance revenues also includes kiosk rentals and on-premises support or maintenance pertaining to license sales. Revenues from kiosk rentals and on-premises support are recognized on a straight-line basis over the support period.

Revenues from subscription, support and maintenance comprised approximately 76% and 74% of total revenues for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Professional services

Our professional services contracts generate revenues on a time-and-materials, fixed fee or subscription basis. Revenues are recognized as the services are rendered for time-and-materials contracts. Revenues are recognized when the milestones are achieved and accepted by the customer or on a proportional performance basis for fixed-fee contracts. Revenues are recognized ratably over the contract term for subscription contracts. The milestone method for revenue recognition is used when there is substantive uncertainty at the date the contract is entered into regarding whether the milestone will be achieved. Training revenues are recognized as the services are performed. Revenues from professional services comprised approximately 20% and 23% of total revenues for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

License

Revenues from distinct licensed software are recognized upfront when that software is made available to the customer, which normally coincides with contract execution, as this is when the customer has the risks and rewards of the right to use the software. Revenues from licensed software comprised approximately 1% and 3% of total revenues for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Asset sales

Revenues from asset sales are recognized when the asset, typically a kiosk, has been received by the customer and is fully operational and ready to accept transactions, which is when the customer obtains control and has the risks and rewards of the asset. Revenues from asset sales comprised approximately 2% and less than 1% of total revenues for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Cost of Revenues

Cost of revenues primarily consists of salaries and benefits of personnel relating to our hosting operations and support, implementation, and grants research. Cost of revenues includes data center costs such as depreciation of the Company’s data center assets, third-party licensing costs, and consulting fees.

Table of Contents

Operating Expenses

Sales and marketing

Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of personnel costs of our sales and marketing employees, including salaries, sales commissions and incentives and benefits, travel and related costs, outside consulting fees, marketing programs, including lead generation, and costs of advertising and trade shows. We defer sales commissions and amortize them ratably over the expected customer life. We expect sales and marketing expenses will further increase as we continue to expand our direct sales teams and increase sales through our strategic relationships and resellers.

Research and development

Research and development expenses consist primarily of salaries and benefits associated with our engineering, product and quality assurance personnel. Research and development expenses also include the cost of third-party contractors. Other than internal-use software development costs that qualify for capitalization, research and development costs are expensed as incurred. We expect research and development costs to increase as we develop new solutions and make improvements to our existing platforms.

General and administrative

General and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries and benefits with our executive, finance, legal, human resources, compliance and other administrative personnel, accounting, auditing and legal professional services fees, recruitment costs, and other corporate-related expenses. We expect that general and administrative expenses will increase as we scale our business, but at a lower rate over time.

Results of Operations

Year Ended December 31, 2021 Compared to the Year Ended December 31, 2020

Total revenues

Our total revenues for the year ended December 31, 2021 increased on a year-over-year basis. This increase was driven by an increase in the number of customers, an increase in the number of users added by existing customers and an increase in the number of products purchased by existing customers. Our revenues for the year ended December 31, 2021 were $60.5 million. Excluding the $0.4 million impact of purchase accounting, our total non-GAAP adjusted revenues for the year ended December 31, 2021 would have been $60.9 million compared to $48.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, representing a 25% increase. Revenues for each operating segment is comprised of the following (in thousands, except percentages):

Procurement’s, Grants Management’s, and Permitting’s revenues (GAAP and non-GAAP) increased primarily due to an increase in subscription, support and maintenance revenues resulting from an increase in customers from the prior year. Payment’s revenues increased primarily due to an increase in transaction volume and asset sales. Budgeting’s revenues increased due primarily due to an increase in subscription, support and maintenance revenues as well as an increase in professional services.

Total cost of revenues

Our total cost of revenues for the year ended December 31, 2021 has increased on a year-over-year basis. The increase was driven primarily by share-based compensation expense due to the issuance of restricted stock units. Cost of revenues

Procurement

Procurement’s total cost of revenues increased by $0.5 million or 35% primarily due to a $0.3 million or 23% increase in salaries and benefits driven by a 20% increase in average headcount from December 31, 2020 to December 31, 2021, a $0.1 million increase in bonuses, and a $0.1 million increase in the amortization of internal-use software.

Payments

Payments’ total cost of revenues increased by $1.6 million or 24% primarily due to a $0.7 million increase in costs associated with kiosk sales, a $0.7 million or 23% increase in bank fees and a $0.2 million or 61% increase in kiosk operations.

Grants Management

Grants Management’s total cost of revenues increased by $0.1 million or 4% primarily due to a $0.5 million or 288% increase in the cost of third-party contractors and partially offset by a $0.2 million or 50% decrease in royalty costs, and a $0.2 million or 9% decrease in salaries and wages due to an 8% decrease in average headcount from December 31, 2020 to December 31, 2021.

Permitting

Permitting’s total cost of revenues increased by $0.1 million or 24% primarily due to a $0.1 million or 29% increase in salaries and wages driven by a 28% increase in average headcount from December 31, 2020 to December 31, 2021.

Budget

Budget’s total cost of revenues increased by $1.5 million or 23% primarily due to a $1.1 million or 31% increase in salaries and bonuses mainly driven by a 25% increase in average headcount from December 31, 2020 to December 31, 2021, a $0.5 million increase in share-based compensation related to the issuance of restricted stock units, and partially offset by a $0.1 million decrease in royalty and other third-party costs.

Operating expenses

Our total selling and marketing, general and administrative and research and development components of operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 2021 have increased due primarily to an increase in share-based compensation expense resulting from the issuance of restricted stock units, salaries and wages from an increase in headcount, reestablishment of business travel, and expansion of third-party costs to support operations.

Procurement

Procurement’s total operating expense increased by $0.6 million or 7% due to a $0.6 million or 35% increase in research and development expenses, a $0.2 million or 11% increase in general and administration expenses, offset by a $0.2 million or 6% decrease in sales and marketing expenses. The increase in research and development expenses was due to a $0.3 million reduction of capitalization of internal-use software, a $0.2 million or 10% increase in salaries and wages and a $0.1 million increase in share-based compensation expense resulting from the issuance of restricted stock units. The increase in general and administration expenses was primarily due to a $0.1 million or 13% increase in salaries and wages driven by a 9% increase in average headcount from December 31, 2020 to December 31, 2021, and a $0.1 million increase in share-based compensation expense resulting from the issuance of restricted stock units. The decrease in sales and marketing costs was primarily due to a $0.2 million decrease in share-based compensation expense resulting from the issuance of restricted stock units.

Payments

Payments’ total operating expense decreased by $1.2 million or 9% primarily due to a $0.7 million or 13% decrease in research and development expenses, a $0.5 million or 14% decrease in sales and marketing costs, and less than $0.1 million or 1% decrease general and administrative expenses. The decrease in research and development is primarily driven by a $0.5 million or 11% decrease in salaries and wages due to a 9% decrease in average headcount from December 31, 2020 to December 31, 2021 and a $0.1 million decrease in share-based compensation expense resulting from the issuance of restricted stock units. The decrease in sales and marketing costs is primarily due to a $0.9 million decrease in share-based compensation expense resulting from the issuance of restricted stock units and partially offset by a $0.4 million increase in commissions and bonuses. The decrease in general and administrative expenses is primarily driven by a $0.4 million decrease in share based compensation resulting from the issuance of restricted stock units and partially offset by a $0.2 million increase in bonuses and a $0.1 million increase in third-party operating expenses.

Grants Management

Grants Management’s total operating expense increased by $1.3 million or 21% primarily due to a $1.0 million or 45% increase in sales and marketing costs, a $0.4 million or 21% increase in research and development costs, and partially offset by a $0.1 million or 3% decrease in general and administrative expenses. The increase in sales and marketing costs was primarily due to a $0.4 million or 30% increase in salaries and benefits driven by a 23% increase in average headcount from December 31, 2020 to December 31, 2021, a $0.4 million increase in third-party commissions expense, and a $0.2 million increase in commissions and bonuses. The increase in research and development is primarily driven by a $0.2 million increase in consulting and professional services and a $0.1 million or 6% increase in salaries and wages due to a 4% increase in average headcount from December 31, 2020 to December 31, 2021. The decrease in general and administration expenses is primarily due to a $0.2 million decrease in rent expense, a $0.2 million decrease in recruiting expenses and other third-party costs, and partially offset by a $0.3 million increase in share-based compensation expense resulting from the issuance of restricted stock units.

Permitting

Permitting’s total operating expense decreased by $0.4 million or 12% primarily due to a $0.2 million or 20% decrease in sales and marketing costs and a $0.2 million or 22% decrease in general and administrative costs. The decrease in sales

and marketing costs is primarily due to a $0.3 million or 30% decrease in salaries and wages due to a 25% decrease in average headcount from December 31, 2020 to December 31, 2021 and partially offset by a $0.1 million increase in share-based compensation expense. The decrease in general and administrative costs is primarily due to a $0.1 million decrease in travel and a $0.1 million or 19% decrease in salaries and benefits.

Budget’s total operating expenses increased by $2.0 million or 19% primarily due to a $1.3 million or 35% increase in general and administrative expenses, a $0.5 million or 23% increase in research and development expenses, and a $0.2 million or 3% increase in sales and marketing costs. The increase in general and administrative expenses was due to a $1.4 million increase in share-based compensation expense and partially offset by a $0.1 million decrease in salaries and benefits. The increase in research and development expenses was due to a $0.3 million or 19% increase in salaries and wages and a $0.3 million or 162% increase in share-based compensation expense resulting from the issuance of restricted stock units and partially offset by a $0.1 million decrease in consulting and professional services. The increase in sales and marketing costs was primarily due to a $0.2 million increase in share-based compensation expense.

Corporate

Corporate expenses are primarily comprised of outside services including legal, accounting and consulting fees, payroll and related expenses, corporate insurance, and share-based compensation. Corporate expenses increased by $0.2 million or 3% due primarily to a $0.6 million or 43% increase in salaries and benefits and partially offset by a $0.4 million decrease in legal fees.

Other operating expenses

Amortization of intangible assets consists of the amortization of finite lived intangibles resulting from the Acquisition as described in Note 4 of the notes to our consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Goodwill impairment expense includes any reduction in the fair value of Goodwill relative to its carrying value. The restructuring charges resulted from the Company’s March 2020 restructuring. The change in fair value of contingent consideration consists of any adjustments to the contingent consideration liability since the Acquisition.

Other income (expense)

Other income (expense) consists primarily of interest expense associated with the Company’s February 2020 and November 2020 credit facilities, gains (losses) from the issuance of shares, change in fair value of warrant liability, gains (losses) on extinguishment of debt, and gains (losses) resulting from transactions denominated in foreign currencies.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Revenues

To supplement our consolidated financial statements, which are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, we have provided certain financial measures that have not been prepared in accordance with GAAP defined as “non-GAAP financial measures,” which include (i) non-GAAP revenues, (ii) non-GAAP gross profit and non-GAAP gross margin, (iii) and non-GAAP loss from operations.

We use these non-GAAP financial measures internally in analyzing our financial results and believe these metrics are useful to investors, as a supplement to the corresponding GAAP measure, in evaluating our ongoing operational performance and trends. However, it is important to note that particular items we exclude from, or include in, our non-GAAP financial measures may differ from the items excluded from, or included in, similar non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies in the same industry. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.

Non-GAAP Revenues

Non-GAAP revenues are defined as GAAP revenues adjusted for the impact of purchase accounting resulting from our business combination which reduced our acquired contract liabilities to fair value. We believe that presenting non-GAAP revenues is useful to investors as it eliminates the impact of the purchase accounting adjustments to revenues to allow for a direct comparison between current and future periods.

Table of Contents

Non-GAAP Gross Profit and Non-GAAP Gross Margin

Non-GAAP gross profit is defined as GAAP gross profit adjusted for the impact of purchase accounting resulting from the business combination. Non-GAAP gross margin is defined as non-GAAP gross profit divided by non-GAAP revenues. We believe that presenting non-GAAP gross profit and margin is useful to investors as it eliminates the impact of the purchase accounting adjustments to allow for a direct comparison between periods.

Non-GAAP Loss from Operations

Non-GAAP loss from operations is defined as GAAP loss from operations adjusted for the impact of purchase accounting to revenues resulting from our business combination, the amortization of acquired intangible assets, share-based compensation, acquisition related costs, goodwill impairment expense, and the change in fair value of contingent consideration. We believe that presenting non-GAAP loss from operations is useful to investors as it eliminates the impact of certain non-cash and acquisition related expenses to allow a direct comparison of loss from operations between all periods presented.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of December 31, 2021, we had a cash balance of approximately $13.3 million. From the date of the Acquisition through December 31, 2021, our liquidity needs have been satisfied through proceeds from the January–February 2020 private investment in public equity, or PIPE, transactions, proceeds from our initial public offering that were released in February 2019 from the trust account established in connection with such offering for the benefit of our shareholders, proceeds from our June 2019 registered direct offering, proceeds from our February 2020 and November 2020 credit facilities, proceeds from issuances of stock under our at-the-market offering program, and loan proceeds in April–May 2020 from the Paycheck Protection Program.

On November 13, 2020, we entered into a loan and security agreement that provides for term loans in an aggregate principal amount of $25.0 million. The loan and security agreement are supported by a security interest in our assets and related guaranty agreements. On the closing date, we fully drew on the credit facility and the current outstanding balance is $25.0 million. As such, no additional amounts are available from it. The credit facility replaced our prior $12.0 million unsecured credit facility.

On November 17, 2020, we filed a Form S-3 Registration Statement under which the Company may sell a combination of securities up to a total dollar amount of $40.0 million. On November 25, 2020, the Company entered into an At Market Issuance Sales Agreement with B. Riley Securities, Inc. (“B. Riley”) and Needham & Company (“Needham”) with respect to an at-the-market offering program under which the Company may offer and sell shares of its common stock, par value $0.0001 per share having an aggregate offering price of up to $10.0 million through B. Riley and Needham as its sales agents. During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company sold 935,633 shares of common stock for $6.8 million in proceeds.

Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern, which contemplates continuity of operations, realization of assets, and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business.

Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including our growth rate, the expansion of our direct sales force, strategic relationships and international operations, the timing and extent of spending to support research and development efforts and the continuing market acceptance of our solutions. We currently anticipate that our cash on hand, together with revenue from operations, will be sufficient to satisfy our anticipated capital requirements during 2021. However, if our projections of revenue or expenditures are inaccurate, we may require additional equity or debt financing during 2021. Sales of additional equity, including under the At Market Sales Agreement, could result in dilution to our stockholders. If we borrow additional funds, the terms of those financing arrangements, if available, may include negative covenants or other restrictions on our business that could impair our operating flexibility. We can provide no assurance that financing will be available at all or, if available, that we would be able to obtain financing on terms favorable to us. If we are unable to raise additional capital when needed, we would be required to curtail our operating activities and capital expenditures, and our business operating results and financial condition would be adversely affected.

PIPE Transaction

Immediately prior to the closing of the business combination (the “Closing”), pursuant to subscription agreements (the “Subscription Agreements”), dated as of various dates from January 9, 2019 through February 12, 2019, by and among GTY Cayman and certain institutional and accredited investors party thereto (the “Subscribed Investors”), GTY Cayman issued to the Subscribed Investors an aggregate of 12,853,098 Class A ordinary shares of GTY for $10.00 per share, for an aggregate cash purchase price of approximately $126.3 million, including three such Subscription Agreements with certain CityBase holders (including Michael Duffy, the chief executive officer of CityBase) for an aggregate of 380,937 Class A ordinary shares of GTY Cayman at a price of $10.00 per share, for an aggregate cash purchase price of approximately $3.8 million (the “PIPE Transaction”). The Class A ordinary shares of GTY Cayman issued to the Subscribed Investors were cancelled and exchanged on a one-for-one basis for shares of Company common stock at the Closing.

Historical Cash Flows

The following table sets forth a summary of our cash flows for the periods indicated (amounts in thousands):



	Year Ended		Year Ended
	December 31,		December 31,
	2021		2020
Net cash used in operating activities	$	(6,382)	$	(12,974)
Net cash used in investing activities	$	(346)	$	(2,993)
Net cash (used in) provided by financing activities	$	(2,715)	$	30,480

Net Cash Used in Operating Activities

Our net loss and cash flows from operating activities are significantly influenced by the Acquisition and our investments in headcount and infrastructure to support anticipated growth.

For the year ended December 31, 2021, net cash used in operations was $6.4 million resulting from our net loss of $53.8 million and changes in operating assets and liabilities of $1.6 million and offset by net non-cash expenses of $49.1 million. The $49.1 million of non-cash expenses was primarily comprised of $15.8 million of goodwill impairment expense, $14.6 million of amortization of intangible assets acquired as a result of the Acquisition, $10.0 million from share-based compensation expense associated with the issuance of restricted stock units, a $5.3 million loss on issuance of shares, a $1.8 million change in fair value of warrant liability, $1.6 million amortization of right of use assets, $1.0 million of depreciation expense, and $0.7 million of deferred debt issuance costs. These non-cash expenses were partially offset by a $3.2 million gain on extinguishment of debt. The $1.6 million of net cash used as a result of changes in our operating assets and liabilities was due to a $2.7 million increase in accounts receivable, a $1.8 million increase in prepaid expenses, a $1.1 million decrease in operating lease liabilities, a $0.9 million decrease in accounts payable and accrued liabilities and partially offset by a $4.9 million increase in deferred revenue.

For the year ended December 31, 2020, net cash used in operations was $13.0 million resulting from our net loss of $41.9 million and offset by net non-cash expenses of $28.2 million and changes in operating assets and liabilities of $0.7 million. The $28.2 million of non-cash expenses was primarily comprised of $14.7 million of amortization of intangible assets acquired as a result of the Acquisition, $8.6 million from share-based compensation expense associated with the issuance of restricted stock units, a $2.1 million loss on issuance of shares, $2.0 million of amortization of right of use assets associated with our operating and finance leases, $2.0 million of goodwill impairment expense, a $2.0 change in fair value of contingent consideration, and $0.9 million of depreciation expense. These non-cash expenses were partially offset by $2.8 million of deferred tax benefits related to the tax and book basis difference on the amortization of intangible assets and a $2.1 million change in fair value of warrant liability. The $0.7 million of net cash flows provided as a result of changes in our operating assets and liabilities was due to a $6.3 million increase in deferred revenue and partially offset by a $2.0 million decrease in accounts payable and accrued liabilities, a $2.1 million decrease in operating lease liabilities, a $0.8 million increase in accounts receivable, and a $0.7 million increase in prepaid expenses.

Net Cash Used in Investing Activities

Our primary investing activities have consisted of capital expenditures.

For the year ended December 31, 2021, cash used in investing activities was $0.3 million due to $0.3 million of capital expenditures resulting largely from the purchases of computer hardware to support our growth in headcount.

For the year ended December 31, 2020, cash used in investing activities was $3.0 million due primarily to $2.7 million of capital expenditures resulting largely from the lease improvements and furniture purchases at Questica’s new facility.

Net Cash Provided By (Used in) Financing Activities

For the year ended December 31, 2021, cash used in financing activities was $2.7 million due primarily to $8.0 million of stock repurchases associated with the redemption of shares held by former eCivis shareholders, $0.8 million of contingent consideration payments, and $0.6 million of repayments of finance lease liabilities and partially offset by $6.8 million of proceeds from the issuance of common stock.

Table of Contents

For the year ended December 31, 2020, cash provided by financing activities was $30.5 million due primarily to $37.8 million of proceeds from borrowings, net of issuance costs resulting from our February 2020 and November 2020 Credit Facilities and loans provided under the Paycheck Protection Program and $7.0 million in proceeds received from the issuance of common stock. These proceeds were partially offset by $12.0 million of repayment of borrowings and $1.3 million of contingent consideration payments.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

The impact of recently issued accounting standards is set forth in Note 3, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, of the notes to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We are not party to any off-balance sheet transactions. Other than the guarantees described in Note 9, we have no guarantees or obligations other than those which arise out of normal business operations.

Contractual Obligations

Our principal commitments consist primarily of obligations under operating and financing leases, which include among others, our offices and leased kiosks and term loans. The following table summarizes our commitments to settle contractual obligations in cash as of December 31, 2021:


			Payment Due by Period
		Total		2022		2023		2024		2025		2026		Thereafter
Operating lease obligations	$	4,077	$	800	$	392	$	367	$	416	$	416	$	1,686
Finance lease obligations		156		156		—		—		—		—		—
Term loans		25,000		—		25,000		—		—		—		—

As of December 31, 2021, we also had contingent obligations in the form of potential earnout payments to individuals associated with each of CityBase and eCivis. See Note 3 of the Financial Statements for additional information regarding the accounting treatment of such contingent obligations.

Individuals associated with CityBase may receive, upon CityBase’s trailing twelve-month net revenue exceeding $37.0 million, or the CityBase threshold, on or prior to December 31, 2048, an earnout payment equal to a number of shares (or, in the case of certain individuals associated with CityBase who are not accredited investors, the cash value thereof) of our common stock calculated by dividing $54.5 million by the greater of (x) $10.00 or (y) the volume-weighted average closing price for the shares of our common stock for the 30 trading days immediately preceding the payment date.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as defined in Item 303(a)(4)(ii) of Regulation S-K and did not have any commitments or contractual obligations

JOBS Act

On April 5, 2012, the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”) was signed into law. The JOBS Act contains provisions that, among other things, relax certain reporting requirements for qualifying public companies. We qualify as an “emerging growth company” and under the JOBS Act are allowed to comply with new or revised accounting

pronouncements based on the effective date for private (not publicly traded) companies. We are electing to delay the adoption of new or revised accounting standards, and as a result, we may not comply with new or revised accounting standards on the relevant dates on which adoption of such standards is required for non-emerging growth companies. As such, GTY’s consolidated financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with public company effective dates. We will remain an emerging growth company until the earliest of (i) the last day of the fiscal year (a) following November 1, 2021, the fifth anniversary of the GTY Cayman IPO, (b) in which we have total annual gross revenue of at least $1.07 billion or (c) in which we are deemed to be a large accelerated filer, which means the market value of our common stock that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the last business day of our prior second fiscal quarter, and (ii) the date on which we have issued more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt securities during the prior three-year period.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders,

GTY Technology Holdings, Inc.:

Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of GTY Technology Holdings, Inc. (the "Company") as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2021, and the related notes to consolidated financial statements (collectively referred to as the "consolidated financial statements"). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the results of its consolidated operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2021, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinion

These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Critical Audit Matters

The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.

Goodwill – Refer to Notes 3 and 4 to the consolidated financial statements

Critical Audit Matter Description

Goodwill is tested for impairment at least annually by comparing the estimated fair values of the reporting units to their relative carrying values. The Company uses the income and market methods to estimate the fair value of the asset, which is based on forecasts of the expected future cash flows of the respective reporting unit. Significant estimates and assumptions inherent in the valuations reflect a consideration of other marketplace participants, and include the amount and timing of future cash flows (including expected growth rates and probability). Unanticipated market or macroeconomic events and circumstances may occur, which could affect the accuracy or validity of the estimates and assumptions.

The Company determined that the fair value of the Payments and Permitting reporting units (the “reporting units”) were less than their carrying value, mainly due to material differences between the Company’s forecasts and actual results. As a result, the Company recorded a $10.7 million goodwill impairment charge for Payments and a $5.1 million impairment charge for Permitting, for the year ended December 31, 2021.

F-1

Table of Contents

We identified the Company’s impairment evaluations of goodwill for the reporting units as a critical audit matter because of the significant judgments made by management to estimate the fair values of the reporting units for purposes of measuring the impairment of goodwill. A high degree of auditor judgment and an increased extent of effort was required when performing audit procedures to evaluate the reasonableness of management’s estimates and assumptions related to the forecasts of future revenues and earnings before interest and taxes, including the need to involve our fair value specialists.

How the Critical Matter Was Addressed in the Audit

Addressing the matter involved performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence in connection with forming our overall opinion on the consolidated financial statements. These procedures included testing management’s process for developing the fair value estimate. This included testing the completeness, accuracy, and relevance of underlying data used, and evaluating management’s assumption related to projected future revenues and earnings before interest and taxes. Evaluating management’s assumption related to projected future revenues and earnings before interest and taxes involved evaluating whether the assumption used by management was reasonable considering (i) the current and past performance of the reporting unit, (ii) the consistency with external market and industry data, and (iii) whether the assumption was consistent with evidence obtained in other areas of the audit.

With the assistance of our fair value specialists, we evaluated the reasonableness of the valuation methodology, future revenues and earnings before interest and taxes by (i) testing the source information underlying the determination of future revenues and earnings before interest and taxes and the mathematical accuracy of the calculations and (ii) developing a range of independent estimates for the discount rates and comparing those to the discount rates selected by management.

Note 2. Restatement of Previously Issued Financial Statements

On April 12, 2021, the Acting Director of the Division of Corporation Finance and Acting Chief Accountant of the Securities and Exchange Commission together issued a “Staff Statement on Accounting and Reporting Considerations for Warrants Issued by Special Purpose Acquisition Companies (“SPACs”)” (the “SEC Statement”), concluding that SPAC warrants may require classification as a liability rather than equity. The SEC Statement discussed “certain features of warrants issued in SPAC transactions” that “may be common across all entities”. It focused in part on provisions in warrant agreements for potential changes to the settlement amounts dependent upon the characteristics of the warrant holder, and specifically whether the warrant holder is an input into the pricing of a fixed-for-fixed option on equity shares. According to the SEC Staff Statement, if the warrant holder is not an input into such pricing, these provisions would preclude the warrant from being classified in equity and thus require classification as a liability. As a result of the SEC Statement, the Company reevaluated the accounting treatment of the public warrants and private warrants issued in connection with its initial public offering and previously recorded as equity on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. The Company’s public warrants were correctly classified as equity. Because the Company’s private warrants do not contain a provision whereby the Company can call the warrants, however, the private warrants should have been recorded at fair value as a liability in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. The Company assessed this error and determined it was not material

to previously issued financial statements. Accordingly, the Company has revised, rather than restated, its previously issued 2020 quarterly and annual financial statements in the Company’s filings for 2021 on Forms 10-Q and in this Form 10-K. Historical quarterly and annual financial statements prior to the business combination were not restated due to the change in accounting as we believe the information is no longer relevant to investors.

The following tables present the effect of the revision for the financial statement line items adjusted in the affected periods:

Note 3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements are presented in U.S. dollars in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC.

The Acquisition was accounted for as a business combination using the acquisition method of accounting. Determining the fair value of certain assets and liabilities assumed is judgmental in nature and often involves the use of significant estimates and assumptions.

F-10

Table of Contents

GTY TECHNOLOGY HOLDINGS INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Amounts in tables in thousands, except share and per share amounts)

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include all accounts of the Acquired Companies and the Acquired Companies’ subsidiaries and do not represent a single legal entity. All material intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Reclassification

Certain prior period statement of cash flow amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation. These reclassifications did not have an impact on net cash flows.

Liquidity

As reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Company reported a net loss of $53.8 million and $41.9 million for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and had an accumulated deficit of $176.5 million as of December 31, 2021. The Company’s net cash used in operations was $6.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2021.

In April and May 2020, the Company received $3.2 million in proceeds from loans under the Paycheck Protection Program. In November 2020, the Company entered into a senior secured term loan facility that provides for borrowing of term loans in an aggregate principal amount of $25.0 million. In December 2020, the Company issued 2.0 million shares of common stock in a registered direct offering for $7.0 million at a price of $3.50 per share. During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company sold 935,633 shares of common stock for $6.8 million in proceeds.

As of December 31, 2021, the Company had $13.3 million in cash and cash equivalents, largely from the above financing sources. Based on the Company’s current expectations of revenues and expenses, the Company expects that its current cash and cash equivalents is sufficient to meet its liquidity needs for twelve months after the issuance of these financial statements. If the Company’s revenues do not grow as expected and if the Company is unable to manage expenses sufficiently, the Company may be required to obtain additional equity or debt financing. Although the Company has been previously able to attract financing as needed, such financing may not continue to be available at all, or if available, on reasonable terms as required. Further, the terms of such financing may be dilutive to existing shareholders or otherwise on terms not favorable to the Company or existing shareholders. If the Company is unable to secure additional financing, as circumstances require, or does not succeed in meeting its sales objectives, it may not be able to continue its operations.

Segments

The Company has 5 operating segments. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, who jointly are the Company’s chief operating decision maker, review financial information for each of the Acquired Companies, together with certain consolidated operating metrics, to make decisions about how to allocate resources and to measure the Company’s performance. See Note 11.

Emerging Growth Company

The Company was an “emerging growth company” until December 31, 2021 as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the Jumpstart our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”), which allowed it to take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.

F-11

Table of Contents

GTY TECHNOLOGY HOLDINGS INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Amounts in tables in thousands, except share and per share amounts)

Further, section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable.

The Company had elected not to opt out of such extended transition period which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of the Company’s consolidated financial statements with another public company which is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company which has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accountant standards used.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original or remaining maturity of three months or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. Cash includes cash held in checking and savings accounts. Cash equivalents are comprised of investments in money market mutual funds. Cash and cash equivalents are recorded at cost, which approximates fair value.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable consists of amounts due from our customers, which are primarily located throughout the United States and Canada. Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount, do not require collateral, and do not bear interest.

The Company estimates its allowance for doubtful accounts by evaluating specific accounts where information indicates the Company’s customers may have an inability to meet financial obligations, such as bankruptcy and significantly aged receivables outstanding. Uncollectible receivables are written-off in the period management believes it has exhausted every opportunity to collect payment from the customer. Bad debt expense is recorded when events or circumstances indicate an additional allowance is required based on the Company’s specific identification approach.

The allowance for doubtful accounts as of December 31, 2021 and 2020 was immaterial. Bad debt expense for all periods presented was immaterial.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist of cash and cash equivalents, and accounts receivable. Cash accounts in financial institutions held in the United States and Canada at times may exceed the depository insurance coverage of $250,000 and CDN 100,000, respectively. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company had not experienced losses on these accounts and management believes the Company is not exposed to significant risks on such accounts.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the balance sheets and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods.

F-12

Table of Contents

GTY TECHNOLOGY HOLDINGS INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Amounts in tables in thousands, except share and per share amounts)

Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. Significant estimates, assumptions and judgments made by management include, among others, the determination of the fair value of common stock, impairment risks associated with goodwill and intangible assets, share-based awards, warrants, and contingent consideration. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the consolidated financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate, could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. Accordingly, the actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.

The COVID-19 pandemic has created and may continue to create significant uncertainty in macroeconomic conditions, which may cause further customer slowdowns or shutdowns, depress demand, and adversely impact results of operations. During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company faced significant uncertainties and continues to expect uncertainties around its key accounting estimates to continue to evolve depending on the duration and degree of impact associated with the COVID-19 pandemic. Estimates may change as new events occur and additional information emerges, and such changes are recognized or disclosed in the consolidated financial statements.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred, and improvements are capitalized. When assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in the consolidated statement of operations in the period realized. Property, plant and equipment is depreciated using the straight-line method over five (5) to fifteen (15) years. Internal-use software is amortized on a straight-line basis over its estimated useful life of three (3) to five (5) years.

Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the useful lives or the term of the respective leases.

Intangible Assets

Intangible assets consist of acquired customer relationships, acquired developed technology, trade names and non-compete agreements which were acquired as part of the Acquisition. The Company determines the appropriate useful life of its intangible assets by performing an analysis of expected cash flows of the acquired assets. Intangible assets are amortized over their estimated useful lives using the straight-line method, which approximates the pattern in which the economic benefits are consumed.

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price of an entity over the estimated fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Under ASC 350, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (“ASC 350”), goodwill is not amortized but is subject to periodic impairment testing. ASC 350 requires that an entity assign its goodwill to reporting units and test each reporting unit’s goodwill for impairment at least on an annual basis and between annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount. In the Company’s evaluation of goodwill for impairment, which is performed annually during the fourth quarter, the Company first assesses qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances led to a determination that it was more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If, after assessing the totality of events or circumstances, it is determined that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, the Company is required to perform the quantitative goodwill impairment test. As a result of the Acquisition, the Company acquired goodwill. There was minimal goodwill prior to the Acquisition. The Company recorded a goodwill impairment expense of $15.8 million and $2.0 million for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Business Combinations

The Company accounts for business acquisitions using the acquisition method of accounting based on Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 805 — Business Combinations, which requires recognition and measurement of all identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their fair value as of the date control is obtained. The Company determines the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon its best estimates of the acquisition-date fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the acquisition. Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired. Subsequent adjustments to the fair value of any contingent consideration are recorded in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations.

Based on the acquisition date and the complexity of the underlying valuation work, certain amounts included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements may be provisional and thus subject to further adjustments within the permitted measurement period (a year from the date of acquisition), as defined in ASC 805.

Impairment of long-lived assets

The Company reviews long-lived assets, including property and equipment and intangible assets and goodwill for impairment whenever events or changes in business circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be fully recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized when the asset’s carrying value exceeds the total undiscounted cash flows expected from its use and eventual disposition. The amount of the impairment loss is determined as the excess of the carrying value of the asset over its fair value.

Public and Private Warrants

On November 1, 2016, the Company consummated its initial public offering of 55,200,000 units, consisting of 1 share of Class A common stock and one-third of 1 warrant exercisable for Class A Common Stock, at a price of $10.00 per unit. Each whole warrant entitled the holder to purchase 1 share of Class A common stock at an exercise price of $11.50 per share (the “Public Warrants”). Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, the Company completed the private sale of 8,693,334 warrants to the Company’s sponsor at a price of $1.50 per warrant (the “Private Warrants”). Each Private Warrant allowed the sponsor to purchase 1 share of Class A common stock at $11.50 per share. The warrants will expire on February 19, 2024, which is five years after the acquisition date.

The Private Warrants are identical to the Public Warrants except that holders of the Private Warrants may elect to exercise them on a cashless basis by surrendering their warrants for that number of shares of common stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the product of the number of shares of common stock underlying the warrants, multiplied by the difference between the exercise price of the warrants and the “fair market value’’ (defined below) by (y) the fair market value. The “fair market value” means the average reported last sale price of the common stock for the 10 trading days ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the notice of warrant exercise is sent to the warrant agent.

The Company evaluated the Public and Private Warrants under ASC 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging-Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity, and concluded that the Private Warrants do not meet the criteria to be classified in shareholders’ equity. Specifically, the exercise and settlement features for the Private Warrants precluded them from being considered indexed to the Company’s own stock, given that a change in the holder of the Private Warrants may alter the settlement of the Private Warrants. Since the holder of the instrument is not an input to a standard option pricing model (a consideration with respect to the indexation guidance), the fact that a change in the holder could impact the value of the Private Warrants means the Private Warrants were not indexed to the Company’s own stock. Since the Private Warrants meet the definition of a derivative under ASC 815, the Company recorded these warrants as liabilities on the balance sheet at fair value with subsequent changes in their respective fair values recognized in the consolidated statement of operations at each reporting period. The Company concluded that the Public Warrants, which do not have the same exercise and settlement features as the Private Warrants, meet the criteria to be classified in shareholders' equity.

Leases

Effective January 1, 2019, the Company accounts for its leases under ASC 842, Leases. Under this guidance, arrangements meeting the definition of a lease are classified as operating or financing leases, and are recorded on the consolidated balance sheet as both a right of use asset and a lease liability, calculated by discounting fixed lease payments over the lease term at the rate implicit in the lease or the Company’s incremental borrowing rate. Lease liabilities are increased by interest and reduced by payments each period, and the right of use asset is amortized over the lease term. For operating leases, interest on the lease liability and the amortization of the right of use asset results in straight-line rent expense over the lease term. Variable lease expenses are recorded when incurred.

In calculating the right of use asset and lease liability, the Company elects to combine lease and non-lease components. The Company excludes short-term leases having initial terms of 12 months or less from the new guidance as an accounting policy election, and recognizes rent expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Fair Value

The fair value of an asset or liability is the price that would be received to sell an asset or transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The Company utilizes a fair value hierarchy that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value and defines three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value.

●

Level 1 — uses quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

●

Level 2 — uses observable inputs other than quoted prices in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

●

Level 3 — uses one or more significant inputs that are unobservable and supported by little or no market activity, and that reflect the use of significant management judgment.

There were no transfers made among the three levels in the fair value hierarchy for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020.

The following tables present additional information about Level 3 liabilities measured at fair value. Both observable and unobservable inputs may be used to determine the fair value of positions that the Company has classified within the Level 3 category. As a result, the unrealized gains and losses for liabilities within the Level 3 category may include changes in fair value that were attributable to both observable (e.g., changes in market interest rates) and unobservable (e.g., changes in unobservable long-dated volatilities) inputs.

Changes in contingent consideration liabilities measured at fair value from December 31, 2020 to December 31, 2021 were as follows:


Contingent consideration – December 31, 2020	$	43,273
Change in fair value of contingent consideration		597
Payments of contingent consideration		(825)
Contingent consideration – December 31, 2021	$	43,045

The fair value of the Company’s contingent consideration liabilities recorded as part of the Acquisition has been classified within Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. The contingent consideration represents the estimated fair value of future payments due to the sellers based on each company’s achievement of annual earnings targets in certain years and other events considered in certain transaction documents. The fair values of the contingent consideration are calculated through the use of Monte Carlo simulations based on earnings projections for the respective earn-out periods, corresponding earnings thresholds, and approximate timing of payments as outlined in the purchase agreements for each

of the Acquired Companies. The analyses utilized the following assumptions: (i) expected term; (ii) risk-adjusted net sales or earnings; (iii) risk-free interest rate; and (iv) expected volatility of earnings. Estimated payments, as determined through the respective models, were further discounted by a credit spread assumption to account for credit risk. The contingent consideration is revalued to fair value each period, and any increase or decrease is recorded in operating income (loss). The fair value of the contingent consideration may be impacted by certain unobservable inputs, most significantly with regard to discount rates, expected volatility and historical and projected performance. Significant changes to these inputs in isolation could result in a significantly different fair value measurement.

As of December 31, 2021, the contingent consideration liability consists of consideration due to former shareholders of CityBase and shareholders associated with an asset purchase by eCivis prior to the Acquisition.

Shareholders associated with CityBase may receive, upon CityBase’s trailing twelve-month net revenue exceeding $37.0 million, or the CityBase threshold, on or prior to December 31, 2048, an earnout payment equal to a number of shares (or, in the case of certain individuals associated with CityBase who are not accredited investors, the cash value thereof) of our common stock calculated by dividing $54.5 million by the greater of (x) $10.00 or (y) the volume-weighted average closing price for the shares of our common stock for the 30 trading days immediately preceding the payment date. The fair value of contingent consideration as of December 31, 2021 is $42.4 million. The valuation of contingent consideration as of December 31, 2021 was derived from a Monte Carlo simulation of payout patterns from revenue estimates provided by the Company.

Pursuant to the terms of a 2018 asset purchase agreement by eCivis, shareholders associated with the purchase may receive cash consideration equal to 7.5% of new revenue between $500,000 and 999,999.99, 10% of new revenue above $1,000,000, 2% of renewal revenue up to 249,999.99 3% of renewal revenue between $250,000.00 to $749,999.99 and 5% above $750,000.00 in each earn-out year beginning in 2018 and ending in 2022. Only revenue derived from the acquired assets is eligible. The potential undiscounted amount of all future payments that the Company could be required to make is unlimited. The total fair value of the associated contingent liability as of December 31, 2021 is approximately $0.6 million. The valuation of contingent consideration as of December 31, 2021 was derived from a discounted cash flow model based on expected payment amounts estimated by the Company.

Changes in the warrant liability measured at fair value from December 31, 2020 to December 31, 2021 were as follows:


Warrant liability – December 31, 2020	$	3,040
Change in fair value of warrant liability		1,828
Warrant liability – December 31, 2021	$	4,868

The warrant liability was estimated using a Black-Scholes model derived from a Monte Carlo simulation of the Company’s outstanding public warrants. These inputs were primarily derived from the implied volatility of the traded public warrant price or 41.8% as of December 31, 2021.

The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximates fair value because of the short-term nature of these instruments.

The Company measures certain assets at fair value on a non-recurring basis, generally annually or when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. These assets include goodwill and other intangible assets.

A financial instrument’s categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

Foreign Currency Translation and Transactions

The assets, liabilities and results of operations of certain consolidated entities are measured using their functional currency, which is the currency of the primary foreign economic environment in which they operate. Upon consolidating these entities with the Company, their assets and liabilities are translated to U.S. dollars at currency exchange rates as of the consolidated balance sheet date and their revenues and expenses are translated at the weighted average currency exchange rates during the applicable reporting periods. Translation adjustments resulting from the process of translating these entities’ consolidated financial statements are reported in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in the consolidated balance sheets and total other comprehensive loss on the consolidated statements of operations.

Revenue Recognition

The Company adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) revenue recognition framework, ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”), on January 1, 2017 using the full retrospective approach. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on prior revenue recognition or on opening equity, as the timing and measurement of revenue recognition for the Company is materially the same under ASC 606 as it was under the prior relevant guidance.

With the adoption of Topic 606, revenues are recognized upon transfer of control of promised products and services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for those products or services. If the consideration promised in a contract includes a variable amount, the Company includes an estimate of the amount it expects to receive for the total transaction price if it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenues recognized will not occur.

The Company determines the amount of revenues to be recognized through application of the following steps:

●

Identification of the contract, or contracts with a customer;

●

Identification of the performance obligations in the contract;

●

Determination of the transaction price;

●

Allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and

●

Recognition of revenues when or as the Company satisfies the performance obligations.

For contracts where the period between when the Company transfers a promised service to the customer and when the customer pays is one year or less, the Company has elected the practical expedient to not adjust the promised amount of consideration for the effects of a significant financing component.

The Company has made a policy election to exclude from the measurement of the transaction price all taxes assessed by a government authority that are both imposed on and concurrent with a specific revenue producing transaction and collected by the Company from a customer. Such taxes may include but are not limited to sales, use, value added and certain excise taxes.

License		749		1,315
Asset sales		1,391		227
Total revenues	$	60,453	$	48,128

Revenues

Subscription, support and maintenance. The Company delivers SaaS that provide customers with access to SaaS related support and updates during the term of the arrangement. Revenues are recognized ratably over the contract term as the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits of the subscription service, as the service is made available by the Company. Subscription fees for the first year are typically payable within 30 days after the execution of a contract, and thereafter upon renewal. The Company initially records subscription fees as contract liabilities and recognizes revenues on a straight-line basis over the term of the agreement.

Our contracts may include variable consideration in the form of usage fees, which are constrained and recognized once the uncertainties associated with the constraint are resolved, which is when usage occurs and the fee is known.

Subscription, support and maintenance revenues also includes kiosk rentals and support or maintenance for on-premises software pertaining to license sales. Revenues from kiosk rentals and that support are recognized on a straight-line basis over the support period.

Revenues from subscription, support and maintenance comprised approximately 76% and 74% of total revenues for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Professional services. The Company’s professional services contracts generate revenues on a time and materials, fixed fee or subscription basis. Revenues are recognized as the services are rendered for time and materials contracts. Revenues are recognized when the milestones are achieved and accepted by the customer or on a proportional performance basis for fixed fee contracts. Revenues are recognized ratably over the contract term for subscription contracts. Training revenues are recognized as the services are performed. Revenues from professional services comprised approximately 20% and 23% of total revenues for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

License. Revenues from distinct licenses are recognized upfront when the software is made available to the customer, which normally coincides with contract execution, as this is when the customer has the risks and rewards of the right to use the software. Revenues from licenses comprised approximately 1% and 3% of total revenues for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Asset sales. Revenues from asset sales are recognized when the asset, typically a kiosk, has been received by the customer and is fully operational and ready to accept transactions, which is when the customer obtains control and has the risks and rewards of the asset. Asset sales were approximately 2% and less than 1% of total revenues for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Significant judgments

The Company enters into contracts with its customers that may include access to SaaS, professional services, software licenses, and sales of hardware. A performance obligation is a promise in a contract with a customer to transfer products

or services that are distinct. Determining whether products and services are distinct performance obligations that should be accounted for separately or combined as one unit of accounting may require significant judgment.

Deferred revenue

Deferred revenue primarily consists of amounts that have been billed to or received from customers in advance of revenue recognition and prepayments received from customers in advance for subscription services to the Company’s SaaS offerings and related implementation and training. The Company recognizes deferred revenue as revenues when the services are performed, and the corresponding revenue recognition criteria are met. The Company receives payments both upfront and over time as services are performed. Customer prepayments are generally applied against invoices issued to customers when services are performed and billed. Deferred revenue is reduced as services are provided and the revenue recognition criteria are met. Deferred revenue that is expected to be recognized as revenues during the succeeding twelve-month period are recorded in current liabilities as deferred revenue – current portion, and the remaining portion is recorded in long-term liabilities as deferred revenue – less current portion. Revenues of approximately $22.3 and $17.3 million were recognized for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, that were included in deferred revenue at the beginning of the respective periods. The change in deferred revenue was as follows:


	Year Ended		Year Ended
	December 31,		December 31,
	2021		2020
Deferred revenue, beginning	$	23,906	$	18,610
Billings, net		65,342		53,424
Revenue recognized ratably over time		(39,766)		(29,829)
Revenue recognized over time as delivered		(12,255)		(11,109)
Revenue recognized at a point in time		(8,432)		(7,190)
Deferred revenue, ending	$	28,795	$	23,906

Cost of revenues

Cost of revenues primarily consists of salaries and benefits of personnel relating to our hosting operations and support, implementation, and grants research. Cost of revenues includes data center costs including depreciation of the Company’s data center assets, third-party licensing costs, consulting fees, and the amortization of acquired technology from recent acquisitions.

Share-based Compensation

The Company expenses share-based compensation over the requisite service period based on the estimated grant-date fair value of the awards. Share-based awards with graded-vesting schedules are recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for each separately vesting portion of the award.

The Company estimates the fair value of stock option grants using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The assumptions used in calculating the fair value of share-based awards represent management’s best estimates, involve inherent uncertainties and the application of management’s judgment.

Expected Term — The expected term of options represents the period that the Company’s share-based awards are expected to be outstanding based on the simplified method, which is the half-life from vesting to the end of its contractual term.

Expected Volatility — The Company computes share price volatility over expected terms based on comparable companies’ historical common stock trading prices.

(Amounts in tables in thousands, except share and per share amounts)

Risk-Free Interest Rate — The Company bases the risk-free interest rate on the U.S. Treasuries implied yield with an equivalent remaining term.

Expected Dividend — The Company has never declared or paid any cash dividends on common shares and does not plan to pay cash dividends in the foreseeable future, and, therefore, uses an expected dividend yield of zero in valuation models.

In accordance with Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-09, Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718), Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting, the Company records forfeitures as they occur. NaN stock options were granted for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020.

Net Loss per Share

Net loss per common share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per common share is computed similar to basic net income per common share except that it reflects the potential dilution that could occur if dilutive securities or other obligations to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock. Due to the net loss in each of the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, diluted and basic loss per share are the same.

Securities that could potentially dilute loss per share in the future that were not included in the computation of diluted loss per share at December 31, 2021 and 2020 are as follows:


	2021	2020
Warrants to purchase common stock	27,093,334	27,093,334
Unvested restricted stock units	3,751,306	3,280,290
Options to purchase common stock	240,421	245,904
Total	31,085,061	30,619,528

Income Taxes

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the Company’s financial statements or tax returns using the asset and liability method. In estimating future tax consequences, all expected future events other than changes in the tax laws or rates are considered. The effect on deferred taxes of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Deferred tax assets are recognized for temporary differences that will result in deductible amounts in future years and for tax carryforwards if, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will be realized.

The Company has recorded a valuation allowance to reduce their deferred tax assets to the net amount that they believe is more likely than not to be realized. The Company considers all available evidence, both positive and negative, including historical levels of income, expectations and risks associated with estimates of future taxable income and ongoing tax planning strategies in assessing the need for a valuation allowance.

A tax position is recognized as a benefit only if it is “more likely than not” that the tax position would be sustained in a tax examination, with a tax examination being presumed to occur. The amount recognized is the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized on examination. For tax positions not meeting the “more likely than not” test, no tax benefit is recorded. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

On January 1, 2021, the Company adopted ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740), Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes. ASU 2019-12 simplifies various aspects related to accounting for income taxes, removes certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and clarifies and amends existing guidance to improve consistent application. The adoption of this new standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

On January 1, 2020, we adopted ASU 2018-13, Changes to Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurements (Topic 820), which improved the effectiveness of disclosure requirements for recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements. The standard removes, modifies, and adds certain disclosure requirements. The adoption of this new standard did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

On January 1, 2020, we adopted ASU No. 2018-15, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other-Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40) – Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract. ASU 2018-15 aligns the accounting for implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the accounting for implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 350-40 – Internal Use Software, in order to determine which costs to capitalize and recognize as an asset and which costs to expense. The adoption of this new standard did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In February 2017, the FASB issued guidance which simplifies the subsequent measurement of goodwill by no longer requiring an entity to determine goodwill impairment by calculating the implied fair value of goodwill by assigning the fair value of a reporting unit to all of its assets and liabilities as if that reporting unit had been acquired in a business combination. Under this new guidance, an entity would perform its goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount and would recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value; however, the loss recognized would not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. Additionally, an entity would consider income tax effects from any tax deductible goodwill on the carrying amount of the reporting unit when measuring the goodwill impairment loss, if applicable. Under the new guidance, an entity continues to have the option to perform the qualitative assessment for a reporting unit to determine if the quantitative impairment test is necessary. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 and interim periods within those years. The Company adopted this standard effective January 1, 2020, and the adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Note 4. Goodwill and Intangible Assets

In connection with the business combinations on February 19, 2019, the Company recognized goodwill and certain identifiable intangible assets.

(Amounts in tables in thousands, except share and per share amounts)

The Company believes its estimates and assumptions utilized in its impairment testing are reasonable and are comparable to those that would be used by other marketplace participants. However, actual events and results could differ substantially from those used in the valuations. To the extent such factors result in a failure to achieve the level of projected cash flows initially used to estimate fair value for purposes of establishing or subsequently impairing the carrying mount of goodwill, the Company may need to record additional non-cash impairment charges in the future.

For the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company recorded goodwill impairment of $15.8 million. The Company determined that the fair value of the Payments and Permitting reporting units were less than their carrying value. As a result, the Company recorded a $10.7 million impairment charge for Payments and a $5.1 million impairment charge for Permitting. These reductions were largely due to material differences between our forecasts and actual results. The COVID-19 pandemic has had a negative impact on the growth plans of these reporting units. Significant judgment was required to estimate the fair value of the reporting unit including long-term cash flow forecasts, and the Company obtained the assistance of a third-party valuation specialist.

For the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company recorded goodwill impairment of $2.0 million. The Company determined that the fair value of the Grants Management reporting unit was less than its carrying value. As a result, the Company recorded a $2.0 million impairment charge. This reduction was largely due to the reporting unit’s inability to service its existing backlog during the COVID-19 pandemic. Significant judgment was required to estimate the fair value of the reporting unit including long-term cash flow forecasts, and the Company obtained the assistance of a third-party valuation specialist.

Note 7. Term Loans

Credit Facility

On February 14, 2020, the Company entered into an unsecured term loan credit facility (“February 2020 Credit Facility”) that provides for borrowing of term loans in an aggregate principal amount of $12.0 million. The credit facility had a maturity date of twelve months from the borrowing date of the term loans. On the closing date, the Company fully drew on the credit facility net of deferred issuance costs of $0.7 million. The $0.7 million of deferred issuance costs included $0.4 million of fees to be applied against interest and $0.3 million of other issuance costs. Amounts outstanding under the credit facility bore interest from the date the term loans were first made until the last day of the fiscal month immediately following the six-month anniversary of such initial borrowing date at a rate per annum equal to twelve percent. Commencing on the first day of each fiscal month thereafter, the interest rate increased by 1 percent per annum until the termination date. The February 2020 Credit Facility was terminated on November 13, 2020 and $0.2 million of unamortized deferred issuance costs were expensed and included in other income, net.

On November 13, 2020, the Company entered into a senior secured term loan facility (“November 2020 Credit Facility”) that provides for borrowing of term loans in an aggregate principal amount of $25,000,000. The November 2020 Credit Facility has a maturity date of 30 months from the borrowing of the term loans. On the closing date, the Company fully drew on the November 2020 Credit Facility and replaced the Company's February 2020 Credit Facility. Amounts outstanding under the November 2020 Credit Facility accrue interest at a rate of 8 percent plus LIBOR or 8.15% at December 31, 2020 and 2 percent payment-in-kind (“PIK”) interest. The November 2020 Credit Facility is supported by a security interest in the assets of the Company and includes certain financial covenants pertaining to annual recurring revenue, revenue, and cash. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company was compliant with all financial covenants.

For the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company recognized $2.7 million and $1.1 million of interest expense under the February 2020 and November 2020 Credit Facilities and approximately $0.7 and $0.5 million of debt issuance costs, respectively. At December 31, 2021, the Company had accrued approximately $0.3 million of accrued interest.

The Company’s valuation allowance for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 was approximately $18.0 million and $7.4 million, respectively, relating to U.S. tax credits and federal net operating losses that we do not believe a tax benefit is more likely than not to be realized.

The Company has approximately $89.9 million of United States federal net operating losses and $10.3 million of Canadian federal net operating losses. The United States federal net operating losses will begin to expire in 2033. The Canadian federal net operating losses will begin to expire in 2039.

Utilization of the Company’s net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards may be subject to substantial annual limitations due to the ownership change limitations provided by the Internal Revenue Code and similar state provisions. Such annual limitations could result in the expirations of the net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards before their utilization. The events that may cause ownership changes includes, but are not limited to, a cumulative stock ownership change of greater than 50% over a three-year period.

The Company and its subsidiaries are subject to Canadian and United States federal income tax, as well as income and franchise tax in multiple state and provincial jurisdictions. The Canadian and United States federal tax years ended December 31, 2017, and subsequent years, are open for the assessment of taxes and various state and provincial tax years ended December 31, 2016, and subsequent years, are open for the assessment of taxes.

The 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (Tax Act) imposed a mandatory transition tax on accumulated foreign earnings and generally eliminated U.S. taxes on foreign subsidiary distribution. As a result, accumulated earnings in foreign jurisdictions are available for distribution to the U.S. without incremental U.S. taxes.

Note 9. Commitments and Contingencies

Legal Proceedings

From time to time, the Company may become involved in legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of its business. The Company is not presently a party to any legal proceedings that, if determined adversely to the Company, would have a material adverse effect on the Company.

Indemnification

In the ordinary course of business, the Company may provide indemnification of varying scope and terms to customers, vendors, investors, directors and officers with respect to certain matters, including, but not limited to, losses arising out of our breach of such agreements, services to be provided by the Company, or from intellectual property infringement claims made by third parties. These indemnification provisions may survive termination of the underlying agreement and the maximum potential amount of future payments the Company could be required to make under these indemnification provisions may not be subject to maximum loss clauses. The maximum potential amount of future payments the Company could be required to make under these indemnification provisions is indeterminable. The Company has never paid a material claim, nor have it been sued in connection with these indemnification arrangements.

As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company has not accrued a liability for these indemnification arrangements because the likelihood of incurring a payment obligation, if any, in connection with these indemnification arrangements is not probable or reasonably estimable.

Note 10. Shareholders’ Equity

Initial Public Offering Redemption Shares

In connection with a shareholder meeting called to approve the business combination, the Company provided the holders of its outstanding Class A ordinary shares sold in the Company’s initial public offering (the “public shareholders”) with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their public shares. The public shareholders were entitled to redeem their public shares for a pro rata portion of the remaining balance in the trust account established in connection with the Company’s initial public offering for the benefit of the Company’s public shareholders and into which substantially all of the proceeds from the initial public offering were deposited (the “Trust Account”). The remaining 20,289,478 GTY Cayman public shares were recorded at a redemption value and classified as temporary equity upon the completion of the initial public offering, in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” In connection with the Business Combination, 11,073,040 Class A ordinary shares of GTY were redeemed for $114.0 million, at a per share price of approximately $10.29. The remaining 9,216,438 shares with a redemption value of $88.9 million were transferred to permanent equity.

Subscription Agreement

Immediately prior to the Closing, pursuant to subscription agreements (the “Subscription Agreements”), dated as of various dates from January 9, 2019 through February 12, 2019, by and among GTY and certain institutional and accredited investors party thereto (the “Subscribed Investors”), GTY Cayman issued to the Subscribed Investors an aggregate of 12,863,098 Class A ordinary shares of GTY for $10.00 per share, for an aggregate cash purchase price of approximately $126.4 million and paid fees of $1.1 million, including three such Subscription Agreements with certain CityBase holders (including Michael Duffy, the chief executive officer of CityBase) for an aggregate of 380,937 Class A ordinary shares of

(Amounts in tables in thousands, except share and per share amounts)

GTY at a price of $10.00 per share, for an aggregate cash purchase price of approximately $3.8 million. The Class A ordinary shares of GTY issued to the Subscribed Investors were cancelled and exchanged on a one-for-one basis for shares of Company common stock at the Closing.

In connection with the Subscription Agreements, immediately prior to the Closing, the Sponsor surrendered to GTY Cayman for cancellation (at no cost to GTY) 231,179 Class B (founder) shares, which have been retroactively adjusted in the accompanying statement of stockholders equity, and sold 500,000 private placement warrants held by it to an accredited investor in a private placement for an aggregate of $250,000 or $0.50 per warrant (which was $1.00 per warrant less than the price originally paid for such warrants).

GTY Merger Share Exchange

In connection with the GTY Merger, all of the issued and outstanding shares of GTY Cayman were exchanged for an equal number of shares of GTY common stock and immediately before the exchange, each outstanding unit was separated into its component Class A ordinary share and warrant. Upon the exchange, 22,978,520 Class A and 13,568,821 Class B shares of GTY Cayman were exchanged for an aggregate of 36,547,341 shares of common stock of GTY.

Shares issued in the Acquisition

As part of the consideration for the Acquisition, the Company issued (a) 11,973,154 shares of common stock (as adjusted by the Measurement Period Adjustment below), of which 3,955,442 were redeemable at the option of the Company (the “Acquisition Redemption Shares”), (b) 2.6 million Class A and 0.5 million Class C shares (the “Class C Shares”) of Questica Exchangeco (the “Questica Shares”) and 2,161,741 shares of Bonfire Exchangeco shares (collectively, the “Exchange Shares”) that are exchangeable into an equal number of common stock. The Exchange Shares are recorded as common shares of the Company. The Company also issued 1,000,000 Class B shares of Questica Shares which are not exchangeable for common stock and thus have no value. The shares issued as consideration in the Acquisition were valued at $10 per share in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.

The 0.5 million Class C Shares were redeemable at the option of the shareholder at $10 per share, and thus the Company had classified the Class C Shares in the capital stock of Questica Exchangeco as temporary equity in accordance with ASC 480 - "Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity." In June 2019, these shares were redeemed for 0.5 million shares of Common Stock at the market price of $7.72, or $3.9 million, and transferred to permanent equity, and $1.3 million of cash. The incremental $0.2 million above the stated redemption price was recorded as a deemed dividend in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.

In April 2019, 193,645 shares of the Bonfire Exchangeco Shares were converted into the Company’s Common Stock on a one-for-one basis.

For the period from the Closing Date to December 31, 2019, there was a “Measurement Period Adjustment” to change $41,500, or 4,150 shares, of stock consideration to cash consideration.

During the year-ended December 31, 2019, the option to redeem 3,155,961 shares from the acquisition of CityBase was not exercised and expired and the 100,000 OC Redeemable Shares were redeemed. As of December 31, 2019, 525,060 shares of the Acquisition Redemption Shares, resulting from the Redeemable Shares from the acquisition of eCivis, remain redeemable at the option of the Company. The Redeemable Shares from the acquisition of eCivis required the Company to simultaneously redeem the Additional Shares (equal to 40% of the number of Redeemable Shares being redeemed). If the Redeemable Shares were not redeemed by February 12, 2020 and February 12, 2021, respectively, the Company was required to issue additional shares, as calculated based on the number of outstanding Redeemable Shares. On February 20, 2020, the Company issued 334,254 of these additional shares with respect to the February 12, 2020 deadline and recorded a loss of $2.1 million.
