B ASIS OF PRESENTATION
 
The
accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements
have been prepared in accordance with the generally accepted
accounting principles for interim financial statements and
instructions for Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all of
the information and footnotes required by generally accepted
accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the
opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting only of normal
recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation,
have been included. Operating results for any quarter are not
necessarily indicative of the results for any other quarter or for
a full year. In connection with the preparation of the condensed
consolidated financial statements the Company evaluated subsequent
events after the balance sheet date of June 30, 2020 through the
filing of this report.
 
As of
June 30, 2020, the Company has a working capital deficit of
$761,503. Our current liabilities include deferred revenue of
$579,137. The costs expected to be incurred to realize the deferred
revenue in the next 12 months are minimal.
 
The
Company has a plan in place for the next 12 months to ensure
ongoing expenditures are balanced with the expected growth rate and
believes cash on hand and cash generated will be sufficient to fund
operations for the next 12 months. However, to implement our
business plan may require additional financing. Additional
financings may come from future equity or debt offerings that could
result in dilution to our stockholders. No assurance can be given
that additional financing will be available or that, if it is
available, it will be on terms acceptable to us.
 
These
financial statements should be read in conjunction with our
financial statements and the notes thereto for the fiscal year
ended December 31, 2019 contained in our Form 10-K filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission dated March 27,
2020.
 
Risks and Uncertainties
 
We are
continuing to closely monitor the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic
on all aspects of our business, including how it will impact team
members, customers, suppliers, and global markets. While our
licensed-based revenue is generally more recurring in nature, the
uncertainty caused by the COVID-19 pandemic has led some clients to
delay purchasing decisions, product and service implementations or
cancel or reduce spending with us. Given the dynamic nature of
these circumstances, it is too early to assess the full impact of
the COVID-19 pandemic on our ongoing business, results of
operations, and overall future financial performance.
 
2.
SIGNIFICANT
ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
a) Nature of operations
 
We are
a software developer and distributor of financial market data and
related services to a global marketplace. We specialize in the
collection, aggregation, and delivery of both delayed and real-time
financial data content via the Internet. We develop and license
software components that deliver dynamic content to banks,
brokerage firms, financial institutions, mutual fund companies,
online information and financial portals, media outlets, public
companies, and corporate intranets.
 
b) Basis of consolidation
 
The
consolidated financial statements include the operations of
QuoteMedia, Ltd., a wholly owned subsidiary of QuoteMedia, Inc. All
intercompany transactions and balances have been
eliminated.
 
c) Foreign currency translation and transactions
 
The
U.S. dollar is the functional currency of all our company's
operations. Foreign currency asset and liability amounts are
remeasured into U.S. dollars at end-of-period exchange rates,
except for equipment and intangible assets, which are remeasured at
historical rates. Foreign currency income and expenses are
remeasured at average exchange rates in effect during the period,
except for expenses related to balance sheet amounts remeasured at
historical exchange rates. Exchange gains and losses arising from
remeasurement of foreign currency-denominated monetary assets and
liabilities are included in earnings in the period in which they
occur.
 
d) Allowances for doubtful accounts
 
We
maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses
resulting from the inability of the Company’s customers to
make required payments. The Company determines the allowance by
reviewing the age of the receivables and assessing the anticipated
ability of customers to pay. No collateral is required for any of
the receivables and the Company does not usually apply financing
charges to outstanding accounts receivable balances. If the
financial condition of our customers were to deteriorate, adversely
affecting their ability to make payments, additional allowances
would be required. The allowance for doubtful accounts was $100,000
and $80,000 as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019,
respectively. Bad debt expense was $94,845 and ($776) for the
six-months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

e) Accounting Pronouncements
 
Recently Adopted
 
In January 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
(“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update
(“ASU”) 2017-04, Intangibles - Goodwill and
Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill
Impairment . This ASU simplifies
the accounting for goodwill by eliminating step 2 from the goodwill
impairment test. Under the new ASU, if the carrying amount of a
reporting unit exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss will be
recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds its
fair value. The Company adopted the new standard on January 1,
2020. There was no impact upon adoption to our consolidated
financial statements and related disclosures.
 
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic
820) , which removes, modifies
and adds various disclosure requirements around the topic in order
to clarify and improve the cost-benefit nature of disclosures. For
example, disclosures around transfers between fair value hierarchy
Levels will be removed and further detail around changes in
unrealized gains and losses for the period and unobservable inputs
determining Level 3 fair value measurements will be added. The
Company adopted the new standard on January 1, 2020. There was no
impact upon adoption to our consolidated financial statements and
related disclosures.
 
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 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 , which requires a customer in a cloud computing
arrangement that is a service contract to follow the internal-use
software guidance in Topic 350, " Intangibles - Goodwill and
Other " to determine which
implementation costs to capitalize as assets or expense as
incurred. The Company adopted the new standard on January 1, 2020.
There was no impact upon adoption to our consolidated financial
statements and related disclosures.
 
Not Yet Adopted
 
Other
accounting standards that have been issued by the FASB or other
standards-setting bodies that do not require adoption until a
future date are not expected to have a material impact on the
Company’s consolidated financial statements upon
adoption.

RELATED
PARTIES

Shworan is a control person of 410734 B.C. Ltd. At June 30, 2020,
there were no amounts due to 410734 B.C. Ltd.
 
The
Company entered into a marketing agreement with Bravenet Web
Services, Inc. (“Bravenet”) effective November 28, 2019
for approximately $2,500 per month. David M. Shworan is a control
person of Bravenet. At June 30, 2020, $7,500 are due to Bravenet

Company’s Board of Directors.
 
5.
LEASES
 
We have
operating leases for corporate offices and finance leases for
certain equipment. Our leases have remaining lease terms of 1 year
to 5 years. We determine if an
arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating lease assets and
liabilities are included in operating lease right-of-use assets and
operating lease liabilities, respectively, on our consolidated
balance sheets. Finance lease assets and liabilities are included
in property and equipment and finance lease liabilities,
respectively, on our consolidated balance
sheets.
 
Operating
lease right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities are
recognized based on the present value of the future minimum lease
payments over the lease term at commencement date. As most of our
leases do not provide an implicit rate, we use our incremental
borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement
date in determining the present value of future payments. We
elected the short-term lease exception and therefore only recognize
right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for leases with a term
greater than one year. When determining lease terms, we factor in
options to extend or terminate leases when it is reasonably certain
that we will exercise that option. We have lease agreements with
lease and non-lease components, which are generally accounted for
separately. For certain leases we
account for the lease and non-lease components as a single lease
component.

STOCKHOLDERS’
DEFICIT
 
a) Preferred Shares
 
We are
authorized to issue up to 10,000,000 non-designated preferred
shares at the Board of Directors’ discretion.
 
On
December 28, 2017, a total of 550,000 shares of the Company’s
Preferred Stock were designated as “Series A Redeemable
Convertible Preferred Stock.” The Series A Redeemable
Convertible Preferred Stock has no dividend or voting
rights.
 
At June
30, 2020, 123,685 shares of Series A Redeemable Convertible
Preferred Stock were outstanding. No shares of Series A Redeemable
Convertible Preferred Stock were issued or redeemed during the
three and six-months ended June 30, 2020. During the three and
six-months ended June 30, 2019 1,400 shares of Series A Redeemable
Convertible Preferred Stock were redeemed.
 
Redemption Rights
 
Holders
of Series A Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock shall have the
right to convert their shares into shares of common stock at the
rate of 83.33 shares of common stock for one share of Series A
Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock, at any time following the
date the closing price of a share of common stock on a securities
exchange or actively traded over-the-counter market has exceeded
$0.30 for ninety (90) consecutive trading days. The conversion
rights are subject to the availability of authorized but unissued
shares of common stock.
 
In
addition, a limited amount of Series A Redeemable Convertible
Preferred Stock may be redeemed at the holder’s option if the
following criteria are met:
 
 
10
QUOTEMEDIA, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
 
 
 
(i)   If the cash balance
of the Company as reported at the end of each fiscal quarter in
2018 exceeds $350,000, up to an aggregate of 600 Series A
Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock may be redeemed at the
liquidation value of $25 per share.
 
 
(ii)   If
the cash balance of the Company as reported at the end of each
fiscal quarter in 2019 exceeds $375,000, up to an aggregate of 800
Series A Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock may be redeemed at
the liquidation value of $25 per share.
 
 
(iii)   If
the cash balance of the Company as reported at the end of each
fiscal quarter in 2020 and in subsequent years exceeds $400,000, up
to an aggregate of 1,000 Series A Redeemable Convertible Preferred
Stock may be redeemed at the liquidation value of $25 per
share.
 
In
accordance with ASC 480-10-S99, because a limited amount of Series
A Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock may be redeemed at the
holder’s option if the above criteria are met, it was
classified as mezzanine equity and not permanent
equity.
 
In the
event of any liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of the
Company, whether voluntary or involuntary, before any distribution
or payment is made to any holders of any shares of common stock,
the holders of shares of Series A Redeemable Convertible Preferred
Stock shall be entitled to be paid first out of the assets of the
Corporation available for distribution to holders of the
Company’s capital stock whether such assets are capital,
surplus, or earnings, an amount equal to $25.00 per share of Series
A Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock.
 
b) Common Stock
 
No
shares of common stock were issued during the three-months ended
June 30, 2020 and 2019.
 
c) Stock Options and Warrants
 
FASB
ASC 718, Stock
Compensation , requires all share-based payments to
employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be
recognized as compensation expense over the service period
(generally the vesting period) in the consolidated financial
statements based on their fair values. The impact of forfeitures
that may occur prior to vesting is also estimated and considered in
the amount recognized.
 
Total
stock-based compensation expense, related to all of the
Company’s stock-based awards, recognized for the three and

At June
30, 2020, there was $57,147 of unrecognized compensation cost
related to non-vested options and warrants granted to purchase
common stock which is expected to be recognized over a
weighted-average period of 2.1 years.
 
All
stock options and warrants to purchase common stock have been
granted with exercise prices equal to or greater than the market
value of the underlying common shares on the date of
grant.   At June 30,
2020, the aggregate intrinsic value of options and warrants
outstanding was $1,388,241. The aggregate intrinsic value of
options and warrants exercisable was $1,256,991. The intrinsic
value of stock options and warrants are calculated as the amount by
which the market price of our common stock exceeds the exercise
price of the option or warrant.
 
Preferred Stock Warrants
 
On
December 28, 2017, the Company entered into a Compensation
Agreement with David M. Shworan, the President and Chief Executive
Officer of QuoteMedia, Ltd., a wholly owned subsidiary of
Quotemedia, Inc., pursuant to which, in lieu of receiving a cash
salary the Company will issue to Mr. Shworan warrants to purchase
shares of Series A Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock
(“Compensation Preferred Stock Warrants”). Provided
that Mr. Shworan is employed by or otherwise providing services to
the Company or its subsidiaries on each of January 1, 2018 and
2019, the Company will issue to Mr. Shworan warrants to purchase up
to 15,000 shares of Compensation Preferred Stock Warrants at an
exercise price equal to $1.00 per share. A total of $90,000 of
stock-based compensation expense was recognized related to the
Compensation Preferred Stock Warrants during the comparative
three-months ended March 31, 2019.
 
Also
pursuant to the Compensation Agreement with Mr. Shworan, on
December 28, 2017 the Company issued Mr. Shworan warrants to
purchase up to 382,243 shares of Series A Redeemable Convertible
Preferred Stock at an exercise price equal to $1.00 per share
(“Liquidity Preferred Stock Warrant”). The Liquidity
Preferred Stock Warrants only vest and become exercisable on the
consummation of a Liquidity Event as defined in the Company’s
Certificate of Designation of Series A Redeemable Convertible
Preferred Stock. The probability of the liquidity event performance
condition is not currently determinable or probable; therefore, no
compensation expense has been recognized as of June 30, 2020. The
probability is re-evaluated each reporting period. As of June 30,
2020, there was $9,173,832 in unrecognized stock-based compensation
expense related to these Liquidity Preferred Stock Warrants. Since
the Liquidity Preferred Stock Warrants only vest and become
exercisable on the consummation of a Liquidity Event which is
currently determined not to be probable, we are also unable to
determine the weighted-average period over which the unrecognized
compensation cost will be recognized.
 
As of
June 30, 2020, there were a total of 413,493 preferred stock
warrants outstanding with a weighted average remaining contractual
life of 27.5 years. As of June 30, 2020; 31,250 preferred stock
warrants were exercisable. No preferred stock warrants were
exercised for the three and six-months ended June 30, 2020 and
2019.

EARNINGS
PER SHARE
 
Basic net income per share is computed by dividing net income
during the period by the weighted-average
number of common shares outstanding, excluding the dilutive effects
of common stock equivalents. Common stock equivalents include
redeemable convertible preferred stock, stock options and warrants.
Diluted net income per share is computed by dividing net income by
the weighted-average number of dilutive common shares outstanding
during the period. Diluted shares outstanding is calculated using
the treasury stock method by adding to the weighted shares
outstanding any potential shares of common stock from outstanding
redeemable convertible preferred stock, stock options and warrants
that are in-the-money. In periods when a net loss is reported, all
common stock equivalents are excluded from the calculation because
they would have an anti-dilutive effect, meaning the loss per share
would be reduced. Therefore, in periods when a loss is reported,
the calculation of basic and dilutive loss per share results in the
same value. The
calculations for basic and diluted net income per share for the
three and six-months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 are as
follows:

PAYCHECK
PROTECTION PROGRAM
 
On
April 24, 2020, the Company received an $8,000 grant as part of the
Economic Injury Disaster Loan (“EIDL”) program through
the Small Business Administration (“SBA”), and on May
4, 2020, the Company received a $133,257 loan under the Paycheck
Protection Program (“PPP”). The PPP, established as
part of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act
(“CARES Act”), provides qualifying businesses with
these proceeds for amounts up to 2.5 times of the average monthly
payroll expenses of the qualifying business. The proceeds and
accrued interest are forgivable after twenty-four weeks, known as
the covered period, as long as the borrower uses the proceeds for
eligible purposes, including payroll, benefits, rent and utilities,
and maintains its payroll levels. The amount of forgiveness will be
reduced if the borrower terminates employees or reduces salaries
during the twenty-four-week period. EIDL grants received are also
deducted from the forgivable portion of PPP loans. The unforgiven
portion of the PPP proceeds will be payable over two years at an
interest rate of 1%, with a deferral of payments for the first
six-months after the covered period. The Company is accounting for
the PPP loan in accordance with ASC 470, Debt .

ITEM 2. M anagement’s Discussion
and Analysis
 
The
following discussion should be read in conjunction with our
financial statements and notes thereto included elsewhere in this
report. We caution readers regarding certain forward looking
statements in the following discussion, elsewhere in this report,
and in any other statements, made by, or on behalf of our company,
whether or not in future filings with the Securities and Exchange
Commission. Forward-looking statements are statements not based on
historical information and which relate to future operations,
strategies, financial results, or other developments.
Forward-looking statements are necessarily based upon estimates and
assumptions that are inherently subject to significant business,
economic, and competitive uncertainties and contingencies, many of
which are beyond our control and many of which, with respect to
future business decisions, are subject to change. These
uncertainties and contingencies can affect actual results and could
cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in
any forward looking statements made by, or on behalf of, our
company. Uncertainties and contingencies that might cause such
differences include those risk factors disclosed in our annual
report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 and other
reports filed from time to time with the SEC.
 
We
disclaim any obligation to update forward-looking statements. All
references to “we”, “our”,
“us”, or “QuoteMedia” refer to QuoteMedia,
Inc., and its predecessors, operating divisions, and
subsidiaries.
 
This
report should be read in conjunction with our Form 10-K for the
fiscal year ended December 31, 2019 filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission.
 
Overview
 
We are
a developer of financial software and a distributor of market data
and research information to online brokerages, clearing firms,
banks, media properties, public companies and financial service
corporations worldwide. Through the aggregation of information from
many direct data, news, and research sources; we offer a
comprehensive range of solutions for all market-related information
provisioning requirements.
 
We have
three general product lines: Interactive Content and Data
Applications, Data Feed Services, and Portfolio Management Systems.
For financial reporting purposes, our product categories share
similar economic characteristics and share costs; therefore, they
are combined into one reporting segment.
 
Our
Interactive Content and Data Applications consist of a suite of
software applications that provide publicly traded company and
market information to corporate clients via the Internet. 
Products include stock market quotes, fundamentals, historical and
interactive charts, company news, filings, option chains, insider
transactions, corporate financials, corporate profiles, screeners,
market research information, investor relations provisions, level
II, watch lists, and real-time quotes. All of our content solutions
are completely customizable and embed directly into client Web
pages for seamless integration with existing content. We are
continuing to develop and launch new modules of QMod TM , our new
proprietary Web delivery system. QMod was created for secure market
data provisioning as well as ease of integration and unlimited
customization. Additionally, QMod delivers search engine optimized
(SEO) ready responsive content designed to adapt on the fly when
rendered on mobile devices or standard Web pages –
automatically resizing and reformatting to fit the device on which
it is displayed.
 
Our
Data Feed Services consist of raw streaming real-time market data
delivered over the Internet or via dedicated telecommunication
lines, and supplemental fundamental, historical, and analytical
data, keyed to the same symbology, which provides a complete market
data solution offered to our customers. Currently,
QuoteMedia’s Data Feed services include complete coverage of
North American exchanges and over 70 exchanges worldwide. For
financial reporting purposes, Data Feed Services revenue is
included in the Interactive Content and Data Applications revenue
totals.
 
Our
Portfolio Management Systems consist of Quotestream TM , Quotestream
Mobile, Quotestream Professional, and our Web Portfolio Management
systems. Quotestream Desktop is an Internet-based streaming online
portfolio management system that delivers real-time and delayed
market data to both consumer and corporate markets. 
Quotestream has been designed for syndication and private branding
by brokerage, banking, and Web portal companies.
Quotestream’s enhanced features and functionality –
most notably tick-by-tick true streaming data, significantly
enhanced charting features, and a broad range of additional
research and analytical content and functionality – offer a
professional-level experience to nonprofessional
users.
 
Quotestream
Professional is specifically designed for use by financial services
professionals, offering exceptional coverage and functionality at
extremely aggressive pricing. Quotestream Professional features
broad market coverage, reliability, complete flexibility,
ultra-low-latency tick-by-tick data, as well as completely
customizable screens, advanced charting, comprehensive technical
analysis, news and research data.
 
Quotestream
Mobile is a true companion product to the Quotestream desktop
products (Quotestream and Quotestream Professional) – any
changes made to portfolios in either the desktop or mobile
application are automatically reflected in the other.
 
 
14
 
 
 
A key
feature of QuoteMedia’s business model is that all of our
product lines generate recurring monthly licensing revenue from
each client. Contracts to license Quotestream to our corporate
clients, for example, typically have a term of one to three years
and are automatically renewed unless notice is given at least 90
days prior to the expiration of the current license term. We also
generate Quotestream revenue through individual end-user licenses
on a monthly or annual subscription fee basis.  Interactive
Content and Data Applications and Market Data Feeds are licensed
for a monthly, quarterly, annual, or semi-annual subscription fee.
Contracts to license our Financial Data Products and Data Feeds
typically have a term of one to three years and are automatically
renewed unless notice is given 90 days prior to the expiration of
the contract term.
 
Business Environment and Trends
 
The
global financial markets have experienced extreme volatility and
disruption in recent months. The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic
and the resulting response by governments and individuals around
the world has caused contraction in global economies. We are
closely monitoring the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on all
aspects of our business, including how it will impact team members,
customers, suppliers, and global markets.
 
Our
operations also have been affected by a range of external factors
related to the COVID-19 pandemic that are not within our control.
For example, many jurisdictions imposed a wide range of
restrictions on the physical movement of our employees and vendors
to limit the spread of COVID-19. We have taken numerous steps, and
will continue to take further actions, in our approach to
addressing the COVID-19 pandemic. To protect the health and safety
of our team members, we successfully transitioned our workforce to
remote work environments. We are also working closely with our
clients to support them as they implement their own contingency
plans, helping them access our products and services
remotely.
 
While
our licensed-based revenue is generally more recurring in nature,
the uncertainty caused by the COVID-19 pandemic has led some
clients to delay purchasing decisions, product and service
implementations or cancel or reduce spending with us. Given the
dynamic nature of these circumstances, it is too early to assess
the full impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our ongoing business,
results of operations, and overall future financial performance. We
are actively managing our response and assessing potential impacts
to our financial position and operating results. This includes the
evaluation and implementation of certain cost control efforts to
help us mitigate the impact that COVID-19 may have on our 2020
financial results. We are focusing on maintaining a strong balance
sheet and liquidity position.
 
On
April 24, 2020, the Company received an $8,000 grant as part of the
Economic Injury Disaster Loan (“EIDL”) program through
the Small Business Administration (“SBA”), and on May
4, 2020, the Company received a $133,257 loan under the Paycheck
Protection Program (“PPP”). The Company anticipates
that it will meet the requirements for full forgiveness for our PPP
loan.. See Financial Statement Note 8 – Paycheck Protection
Program.
 
The Canadian dollar depreciated
2.3% when comparing average exchange rates for the six-months ended
June 30, 2020 and 2019. The exchange rate fluctuation decreased
both Canadian dollar revenues and expenses once translated into
U.S. dollars for the six-months ended June 30, 2020 when compared
to the same period in 2019 but had a minimal impact on our net
income.
 
Our
revenue grew 2% when comparing the three and six-months ended June
30, 2020 to the comparative periods in 2019. Based on clients
currently under contract, we expect our positive revenue growth to
continue for the remainder of 2020 despite current market
conditions related to COVID-19.
 
Plan of Operation
 
For the
remainder of 2020 we plan to continue to expand our product lines
and improve our infrastructure. We plan to add more features and
data to our existing products and release newer versions with
improved performance and flexibility for client
integration.
 
We will
maintain our focus on marketing Quotestream for deployments by
brokerage firms to their retail clients and continue our expansion
into the investment professional market with Quotestream
Professional. We also plan to continue the growth of our Data Feed
Services client base, particularly through the addition of major
new international data feed coverage, as well as new data delivery
products.
 
QuoteMedia
will continue to focus on increasing the sales of its Interactive
Content and Data Applications, particularly in the context of
large-scale enterprise deployments encompassing solutions ranging
across several product lines. QMod is a major component of this
strategy, given the broad demand for mobile-ready, SEO-friendly Web
content.
 
Important
development projects for 2020 include broad expansion of data and
news coverage, including the addition of a wide array of
international exchange data and news and video feeds, expansion of
fixed-income coverage, and the introduction of several new and
upgraded market information products.
 
New
deployments of our trade integration capabilities, which allow our
Quotestream applications to interact with our brokerage
clients’ back-end trade execution and reporting platforms
(enabling on-the-fly trade execution and tracking of holdings) are
underway and will continue to be a priority in the coming
year.
 
 
15
 
 
 
We are
also creating new proprietary data sets, analytics, and scoring
mechanisms. We are now aggregating data direct from the sources to
produce data sets that are proprietary to QuoteMedia. This allows
us to offer our clients new data products and lower our product
costs structure as we replace some of our existing data providers
with our own lower cost data.
 
Opportunistically,
efforts will be made to evaluate and pursue the development of
additional new products that may eventually be commercialized by
our company. Although not currently anticipated, we may require
additional capital to execute our proposed plan of operation. There
can be no assurance that such additional capital will be available
to our company on commercially reasonable terms or at
all.
 
Our
future performance will be subject to a number of business factors,
including those beyond our control; such as a continuation of
market uncertainty and evolving industry needs and preferences, as
well as the level of competition and our ability to continue to
successfully market our products and technology. There can be no
assurance that we will be able to successfully implement our
marketing strategy, continue our revenue growth, or achieve
profitable operations.

Our

respectively, when comparing the three and six-month periods ended

Corporate
Quotestream revenue increased 15% and 6% for the three and
six-month periods ended June 30, 2020, respectively, from the
comparative periods in 2019 due to new Corporate Quotestream
customers signed since the comparative periods and increases in
users for existing customers.
 
Individual
Quotestream revenue decreased 3% and 4% for the three and six-month
periods ended June 30, 2020, respectively, from the comparative
periods in 2019. The decrease was due to a decrease in users from
the comparative periods and foreign exchange fluctuations as 55% of
Individual Quotestream revenue is earned in Canadian dollars. The
Canadian dollar depreciated 2.3% and 3.5% when comparing average
exchange rates for the three and six-month periods ended June 30,
2020 and 2019 to the comparative periods, lowering Canadian dollar
revenue when translated into $U.S. dollars.
 
Interactive
Content and Data Application revenue decreased 5% when comparing
the three-months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, primarily due to the
impact of COVID-19 as a number of our customers have temporarily
suspended their services. Interactive Content and Data Application
revenue increased 2% when comparing the six-month period ended June
30, 2020 and 2019, mainly attributable to an increase in the
average revenue per client offset by service suspensions due to
COVID-19. The increase in average revenue per client results from
the launch of new products such as QMod, our new proprietary Web
delivery system, the expansion of our data coverage, as well as the
general strengthening of our financial position, all of which have
allowed us to attract larger clients.

Our
cost of revenue consists of fixed and variable stock exchange fees
and data feed provisioning costs. Cost of revenue also includes
amortization of capitalized internal-use software costs. We
capitalize the costs associated with developing new products during
the application development stage.
 
Cost of
revenue increased 9% and 6% when comparing the three and six-month
periods ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The increase in
cost of revenue is primarily due to an increase in the amortization
of capitalized internal-use software costs related to the increase
in capitalized development costs from the comparative
periods.
 
Overall,
our cost of revenue increased relative to the increase in sales, as
evidenced by our gross margin percentage which decreased to 48% for
the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2020.

Sales and Marketing
 
Sales
and marketing consist primarily of sales and customer service
salaries, investor relations, travel and advertising expenses.
Sales and marketing expenses increased by 9% and 13% when comparing
the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2020 and 2019,
respectively. The increases are a result of additional sales
personnel hired since the comparative periods.
 
General and Administrative
 
General
and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries expense,
office rent, insurance premiums, and professional fees. General and
administrative expenses increased 17% and 21% when comparing the
three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2020 and 2019,
respectively. Increases were due to increases in salaries and
health benefits due to the hiring of additional personnel to meet
expected future growth. We also incurred an increase in bad debts
from the comparative period of $95,621, primarily due to the impact
of Covid-19 as some of our smaller customers have struggled to keep
up with their payments or have ceased operations
altogether.
 
 
 
17
 
 
Software Development
 
Software
development expenses consist primarily of costs associated with the
design, programming, and testing of our software applications
during the preliminary project stage. Software development expenses
also include costs incurred to maintain our software
applications.
 
Software
development expenses increased 39% and 37% for the three and
six-month periods ended June 30, 2020, respectively, when compared
to the same period in 2019. The increase was mainly due to hiring
additional development personnel since the comparative
period.
 
We
capitalized $429,683 and $765,232 of development costs for the
three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2020, respectively,
compared to $348,528 and $660,240 for the same periods in 2019.
These costs relate to the development of application software used
by subscribers to access, manage, and analyze information in our
databases. Capitalized costs associated with application software
are amortized over their estimated economic life of three
years.

Foreign Exchange Gain (Loss)
 
Foreign
exchange gains and losses arise from the re-measurement of Canadian
dollar monetary assets and liabilities into U.S. dollars. We have a
net Canadian dollar liability; therefore, we incur a foreign
exchange gain when the Canadian dollar depreciates from the period
beginning date, and a loss when the Canadian dollar appreciates.
Gains and losses arising from exchange rate fluctuations between
transaction and settlement dates for foreign currency denominated
transactions are also included in foreign exchange gains and
losses.
 
We
incurred a foreign exchange loss of $5,249 for the three-months
ended June 30, 2020 primarily due to the foreign exchange
re-measurement loss as the Canadian dollar appreciated 4% versus
the U.S. dollar when comparing the foreign exchange rate at June
30, 2020 to the rate at March 31, 2020. We incurred a foreign
exchange loss of $7,256 for the same period in 2019 arising from
exchange rate fluctuations between transaction and settlement dates
for foreign currency denominated transactions.
 
We
incurred a foreign exchange gain of $5,957 for the six-months ended
June 30, 2020 primarily due to the foreign exchange re-measurement
gain as the Canadian dollar depreciated 5% versus the U.S. dollar
when comparing the foreign exchange rate at June 30, 2020 to the
rate at December 31, 2020. We incurred a foreign exchange loss of
$21,314 for the comparative 2019 period mainly attributable to the
re-measurement of Canadian dollar monetary assets and liabilities
into U.S. dollars as the Canadian dollar appreciated 3.8% versus
the U.S. dollar in 2018.
 
Interest Expense
 
Interest
expense relates primarily to the interest expense associated with
our finance leases and was relatively unchanged from the
comparative period. Interest expense of $1,191 and $2,718 was
incurred for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2020,
respectively, compared to $1,506 and $3,184 incurred in the same
2019 periods.

Provision for Income Taxes
 
For the
three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2020, the Company
recorded Canadian income tax expense of $721 and $1,465 compared to
$747 and $1,499 in the comparative periods in 2019.
 
Net Income (Loss) for the Period
 
As a
result of the foregoing, the Company recognized net loss of
$127,098 and $244,423 for the three and six-month periods ended
June 30, 2020 compared to net income of $202,361 and $315,417 for
the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2019. Basic and
diluted earnings per share were $(0.00) for the three and six-month
periods ended June 30, 2020, and $0.00 for the three and six-month
periods ended June 30, 2019.
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
Our
cash totaled $636,012 at June 30, 2020, as compared with $815,487
at December 31, 2019, a decrease of $179,475. Net cash of $548,176
was provided by operations for the six-months ended June 30, 2020,
primarily due to non-cash charges and the increase in accounts
payable, offset by the increase in accounts receivable and our net
loss. Net cash used in investing activities for the six-months
ended June 30, 2020 was $851,464 resulting primarily from
capitalized application software costs and the purchase of new
computer equipment. Cash provided by financing activities for the
six-months ended June 30, 2020 was $123,813 related to the PPP loan
offset by repayment of capital lease financing.
 
We have
a working capital deficit of $761,503 as of June 30, 2020, however
current liabilities include $579,137 in deferred revenue and the
expected costs necessary to realize the deferred revenue are
minimal.
 
Based
on the factors discussed above, we believe that our cash on hand
and cash generated from operations will be sufficient to fund our
current operations for a period of one year after issuance of these
Financial Statements. However, to implement our business plan may
require additional financing. Additional financings may come from
future equity or debt offerings that could result in dilution to
our stockholders. Further, current adverse capital and credit
market conditions could limit our access to capital. We may be
unable to raise capital or bear an unattractive cost of capital
that could reduce our financial flexibility.
 
ITEM 4. C ontrols and
Procedures
 
Under
the supervision and with the participation of our Chairman of the
Board and Chairman of the Audit Committee, Chief Executive Officer
and Chief Financial Officer, we completed an evaluation of the
effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure
controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and
15d-15(e) to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the
“Exchange Act”)). Based on that evaluation, we and our
management have concluded that our disclosure controls and
procedures at June 30, 2020 were effective at the reasonable
assurance level to ensure that information required to be disclosed
by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act
is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time
periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC, and are
designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us
in these reports is accumulated and communicated to our management,
as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required
disclosures. In the six-months ended June 30, 2020, there has been
no change in our internal control over financial reporting that has
materially affected, or is reasonably likely to affect, our
internal control over financial reporting.
 
We will
consider further actions and continue to evaluate the effectiveness
of our disclosure controls and internal controls and procedures on
an ongoing basis, taking corrective action as appropriate.
Management does not expect that disclosure controls and procedures
or internal controls can prevent all errors and all fraud. A
control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can
provide only reasonable and not absolute assurance that the
objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a
control system must reflect the fact that there are resource
constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered
relative to their costs. While management believes that its
disclosure controls and procedures provide reasonable assurance
that fraud can be detected and prevented, because of the inherent
limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can
provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of
fraud, if any, have been detected.
