CREXENDO, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)
 
(1)           Description of Business
 
Crexendo, Inc. is incorporated in the state of Delaware. As used hereafter in this Form 10-Q, we refer to Crexendo, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, as “we,” “us,” or “the Company.” We are a hosted services company that provides e-commerce software, website development, web hosting, search engine optimization, link building, hosted telecommunication services, and broadband internet for businesses and entrepreneurs.  Our services are designed to make enterprise-class hosting services available to small and medium-sized businesses at affordable monthly rates.  Our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“US GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). These unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect the results of operations, financial position, changes in stockholders’ equity, and cash flows of the Company for the periods indicated.
 
(2)           Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
Basis of Presentation – These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of Crexendo, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries.  All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
 
The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, consistent in all material respects with those applied in our financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011. Because these financial statements address interim periods, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. Such interim financial information is unaudited but reflects all adjustments that in the opinion of management are necessary for the fair presentation of the interim periods presented. The results of operations presented in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2012 or for any future periods. This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements and footnotes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011.
 
In July of 2011, we announced the suspension of our direct mail seminar sales channel in our StoresOnline segment.  As a result, we have shifted our focus toward growing our Crexendo Web Services segment and Crexendo Network Services segment.  We currently plan to fund this growth through operating cash flows. If operating cash flows prove to be insufficient to fund future growth, we may need to raise additional capital through financing. There can be no assurances that such additional capital, if needed, would be available on acceptable terms or at all, which would adversely affect our Company’s ability to achieve our business objectives. Due to changes in our growth strategy and the rapidly evolving nature of our business and the markets we serve, we believe period-to-period comparisons of our operating results, including operating expenses as a percentage of revenue and cash flows, are not necessarily meaningful and should not be relied upon as an indication of future performance.
 
Revenue Recognition - On April 1, 2012, we began renting our hosted telecommunication equipment through leasing contracts that we classify as either operating leases or sale-type leases.  The two primary accounting provisions which we use to classify transactions as sales-type or operating leases are: 1) lease term to determine if it is equal to or greater than 75% of the economic life of the equipment and 2) the present value of the minimum lease payments to determine if they are equal to or greater than 90% of the fair market value of the equipment at the inception of the lease.  The economic life of most of our products is estimated to be three years, since this represents the most frequent contractual lease term for our products, and there is no residual value for used equipment. Residual values, if any, are established at lease inception using estimates of fair value at the end of the lease term.  The vast majority of our leases that qualify as sales-type leases are non-cancelable and include cancellation penalties approximately equal to the full value of the lease receivables.  Leases that do not meet the criteria for sales-type lease accounting are accounted for as operating leases. Revenues from the sale of equipment, including those from sales-type leases, are recognized at the time of sale or at the inception of the lease, as appropriate.
 
Use of Estimates- The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and operating expenses during the reporting period. Actual results will vary, and may vary materially, from these estimates.

Recently Adopted Accounting Guidance – As of January 1, 2012, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2011-04 related to guidance associated with fair value measurements and disclosures. This ASU clarifies the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (FASB) intent on current guidance, modifies and changes certain guidance and principles, and expands disclosures concerning Level 3 fair value measurements in the fair value hierarchy (including quantitative information about significant unobservable inputs within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy). In addition, this ASU requires disclosure of the fair value hierarchy for assets and liabilities not measured at fair value in the statement of financial position, but whose fair value is required to be disclosed. Adoption of this new guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
 
As of January 1, 2012, the Company adopted ASU 2011-05 related to guidance on the presentation of comprehensive income. The objective of this ASU is to improve the comparability, consistency and transparency of financial reporting and to increase the prominence of items reported in other comprehensive income. This ASU requires an entity to present the components of net income and other comprehensive income and total comprehensive income (includes net income) either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. This ASU eliminates the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of equity, but does not change the items that must be reported in other comprehensive income.  Adoption of this new guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.  The Company does not have any components of other comprehensive income (loss) other than net income (loss), which has been presented in the condensed consolidated statement of stockholders’ equity.
 
As of January 1, 2012, the Company adopted ASU 2011-08 related to the testing of goodwill for impairment. The objective of this ASU is to simplify goodwill impairment testing by adding a qualitative review step to assess whether the required quantitative impairment analysis that exists today is necessary. The ASU permits an entity to first perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value. If it is concluded that this is the case, it is necessary to perform the currently prescribed two-step goodwill impairment test. Otherwise, the two-step goodwill impairment test is not required. The ASU was effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2012. Adoption of this new guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
 
Significant Customers – No customer accounted for 10% or more of our total net revenue or total accounts receivable for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 or 2011.

(4)           Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share
 
Basic net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) for the period by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per common share is computed giving effect to all dilutive common stock equivalents, consisting of common stock options and restricted shares held in escrow. Diluted net income per common share for the three months ended September 30, 2011 included 22,122 common share equivalents related to shares to be purchased under our Company’s employee stock option plan and 7,000 restricted shares held in escrow. Diluted net loss per common share for the three months ended September 30, 2012, the nine months ended September 30, 2012, and the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was the same as basic net loss per common share, as the common share equivalents were anti-dilutive.  The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net income (loss) per common share:

(7)           Equipment Financing Receivables
 
On April 1, 2012, we began renting our hosted telecommunication equipment (VoIP telephone devices) through leasing contracts that we classify as either operating leases or sale-type leases.  The two primary accounting provisions which we use to classify transactions as sales-type or operating leases are: 1) lease term to determine if it is equal to or greater than 75% of the economic life of the equipment and 2) the present value of the minimum lease payments to determine if they are equal to or greater than 90% of the fair market value of the equipment at the inception of the lease.  The economic life of most of our products is estimated to be three years, since this represents the most frequent contractual lease term for our products, and there is no residual value for used equipment. Residual values, if any, are established at lease inception using estimates of fair value at the end of the lease term.  The vast majority of our leases that qualify as sales-type leases are non-cancelable and include cancellation penalties approximately equal to the full value of the lease receivables.  Leases that do not meet the criteria for sales-type lease accounting are accounted for as operating leases.

Equipment finance receivables arising from the rental of our hosted equipment through sales-type leases, were as follows (in thousands):

(8)           Income Taxes
 
Our effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2012, was 1% which resulted in an income tax provision of $10,000, for minimum state taxes.  Our effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 was 15%, which resulted in a benefit for income taxes of $130,000. The benefit for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 was primarily due to the statute of limitations expiring for a few uncertain tax positions.

Our effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 was 1% and 315%, respectively, which resulted in a provision for income taxes of $39,000 and $5,079,000, respectively.

Significant management judgment is required in determining our provision for income taxes and in determining whether deferred tax assets will be realized in full or in part. During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, we placed a full valuation allowance on net deferred tax assets.  In assessing the recovery of the deferred tax assets, we considered whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of our deferred tax assets will not be realized.  The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income in the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible.  We considered the scheduled reversals of future deferred tax assets, projected future taxable income, the suspension of the sale of product and services through the seminar sales channel for our StoresOnline segment, the restructuring of the StoresOnline segment, and tax planning strategies in making this assessment.  As a result, we determined it was more likely than not that the deferred tax assets would not be realized; accordingly, we recorded a full valuation allowance. Subsequent to placing a full valuation allowance on our net deferred tax assets, adjustments impacting our tax rate have been and are expected to continue to be insignificant.

The fair value of our financial assets and liabilities was determined based on three levels of inputs, of which the first two are considered observable and the last unobservable, that may be used to measure fair value which are the following: 
 
Level 1 — Unadjusted quoted prices that are available in active markets for the identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date.
 
Level 2 — Other observable inputs available at the measurement date, other than quoted prices included in Level 1, either directly or indirectly, including:
 
 
Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets;
 
Quoted prices for identical or similar assets in non-active markets;
 
Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability; and
 
Inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by other observable market data.
 
Level 3 — Unobservable inputs that cannot be corroborated by observable market data and reflect the use of significant management judgment. These values are generally determined using pricing models for which the assumptions utilize management’s estimates of market participant assumptions.

The fair value measurement for the contingent consideration is based on significant inputs not observed in the market and thus represents a Level 3 measurement. Level 3 instruments are valued based on unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and reflect the Company’s own assumptions in measuring fair value.

The carrying amount of certificate of deposits approximates fair value, as determined by certificates of deposits with similar terms and conditions.  The trade receivables consist primarily of extended payment term agreements and the fair value is computed using a discounted cash flow model using estimated market rates.  The financing receivables consist of sales-type leases arising from rental transactions of our hosted equipment,
 
Our disclosure of the estimated fair value of our financial instruments is made in accordance with generally accepted accounting guidance. The estimated fair value amounts have been determined using available market information and valuation methodologies we consider to be appropriate. However, considerable judgment is required to interpret market data in order to develop the estimates of fair value. Accordingly, the estimates presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts we could realize in a current market exchange. The use of different market assumptions and estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts. The fair value estimates presented herein are based on pertinent information available to management as of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011.
 
(10)         Commitments and Contingencies
 
Legal Proceedings
 
From time to time we receive inquiries from federal, state, city and local government officials in the various jurisdictions in which we operate. These inquiries and investigations generally concern compliance with various city, county, state and/or federal regulations involving sales, representations made, customer service, refund policies, and marketing practices. We respond to these inquiries and have generally been successful in addressing the concerns of these persons and entities, without a formal complaint or charge being made, although there is often no formal closing of the inquiry or investigation. There can be no assurance that the ultimate resolution of these or other inquiries or investigations will not have a material adverse effect on our business or operations, or that a formal complaint will not be initiated. We also receive complaints and inquiries in the ordinary course of business from both customers and governmental and non-governmental bodies on behalf of customers, and in some cases these customer complaints have risen to the level of litigation. There can be no assurance that the ultimate resolution of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on our business or results of operations. There have been no material changes to current legal events as outlined in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011.
 
As of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, we had liabilities primarily related to StoresOnline legal proceedings of $202,000 and $381,000, respectively. Attorney’s fees associated with the various legal proceedings are expensed as incurred. We are also subject to various claims and legal proceedings covering matters that arise in the ordinary course of business. We believe that the resolution of these other cases will not have a material adverse effect on our business, financial position, or results of operations.

(11)        Segment Information
 
Management has chosen to organize the Company around differences in products and services.  Crexendo Web Services segment generates revenue from managing e-commerce or lead generation offerings, websites, search engine optimization/management and online promotional needs for small, medium, and large businesses.  Crexendo Network Services segment generates revenue from selling hosted telecommunication and broadband data services. We believe StoresOnline segment will continue to generate revenue by offering businesses a continuum of services and technology providing tools and training to establish a successful website on the Internet for entrepreneurs and small office/home office (SOHO) customers.

ITEM 2.     MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
This section and other parts of this Form 10-Q contain forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Forward-looking statements can be identified by words such as “anticipates,” “expects,” “believes,” “plans,” “predicts,” and similar terms. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and our Company’s actual results may differ significantly from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements. Factors that might cause such differences include, but are not limited to, those discussed in Part II, Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” which are incorporated herein by reference. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011 (the “2011 Form 10-K”) filed with the SEC and the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto included in the 2011 Form 10-K and  elsewhere in this Form 10-Q. We assume no obligation to revise or update any forward-looking statements for any reason, except as required by law.

OVERVIEW

We are a hosted services company that provides e-commerce software, website development, web hosting, search engine optimization, link building, hosted telecommunication services, and broadband internet for businesses and entrepreneurs.  Our services are designed to make enterprise-class hosting services available to small and medium-sized businesses at affordable monthly rates.  Our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“US GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). These unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect the results of operations, financial position, changes in stockholders’ equity, and cash flows of the Company.
 
The Company has three operating segments, which consist of the StoresOnline, Crexendo Web Services, and Crexendo Network Services segments.
 
StoresOnline segment – We offer a continuum of services and technology providing tools and training for businesses to establish a successful web presence.  Our Do-It-Yourself package includes our robust content management and website building solution, fully enabled e-commerce package, online marketing tools, and educational training modules.
 
We have historically derived a substantial portion of our revenue from cash collected on the sale of our content management and web building software licenses at workshop events held in prior years, as well as principal collected on the sale of software licenses sold through extended payment term arrangements (“EPTAs”).  As a result of the restructuring plan we initiated in July 2011, we will no longer generate revenue from cash collected on the sale of our content management and web building software licenses at workshop events.  We believe we will, however, continue to generate revenue from principal collected on our EPTA contracts for the next year to eighteen months at a decreasing rate over that time period.
 
Crexendo Web Services segment – We generate revenue from managing e-commerce or lead generation offerings, websites, search engine optimization/management and online promotional needs primarily for small and medium-sized businesses.
 
We generate professional services revenue primarily from website design and development, search engine optimization services, link building, paid search management services and conversion rate optimization services. These services are typically billed on a fixed price basis or on a monthly recurring basis with an initial term of six to twelve months.  We generate SaaS subscription fees on our website builder and website hosting fees.  Revenue is recognized ratably over the life of the contract for all subscription and hosting services.  Our hosting contracts are month to month.
 
 
16

 
 
Crexendo Network Services Segment - Our hosted telecommunications services transmit calls using VoIP technology, which converts voice signals into digital data packets for transmission over the Internet.  Each of our calling plans provides a number of basic features typically offered by traditional telephone service providers, plus a wide range of enhanced features that we believe offer an attractive value proposition to our customers.  This platform enables a user via a single “identity” to access and utilize services and features regardless of how the user is connected to the Internet, whether it be from a desktop device or a mobile device.
 
We generate subscription fees from our hosted telecommunications and broadband Internet services.  Our hosted telecommunication contracts typically have a 36 month term.  We generate product revenue and equipment financing revenue from the sale and lease of our hosted telecommunications equipment.  Revenues from the sale of equipment, including those from sales-type leases, are recognized at the time of sale or at the inception of the lease, as appropriate.
 
Economic Factors

The tight credit markets in place over the past several years have adversely affected our StoresOnline business as consumers and businesses continued to be limited in their ability to obtain alternate sources of financing. The tight credit markets contributed to our decision to suspend the sale of our products and services through the seminar sales channel.  The high unemployment rate has had a negative impact on our StoresOnline customer base and has historically resulted in high default rates on our accounts receivable.  While we have seen our collection rates stabilize and improve over the past several quarters, our default rate remains high.  Since we recognize revenue when the cash is collected on our accounts receivable portfolio, an improvement in our collection rates will result in additional future revenue, while deterioration in our collection rate will decrease future revenue.

Opportunities

Technological and product innovation is the foundation of our long-term growth strategy, and we intend to increase our commitment to invest in product development, engineering excellence, and delivering high-quality products and services to customers. We have organized Crexendo Web Services segment and Crexendo Network Services segment around our primary business objectives which are to help entrepreneurs and small and medium-sized businesses increase the effectiveness and visibility of their online presence, as well as decreasing their infrastructure and communications costs.

We believe our long-term focus on investing in products and developing new and alternative sales channels is enabling us to build a foundation for growth by delivering innovative products, creating opportunities for potential channel partners, and improving customer satisfaction. Our focus continues to be to execute in key areas through ongoing innovation on our integrated content management software solution, responding effectively to customer and partner needs, and focusing internally on product excellence and accountability across our Company.

We have developed a University Program that allows universities to teach courses using our website builder that will provide free websites to small businesses.  This program will provide an opportunity to expand our website hosting service offering as the Company will provide hosting services for websites developed by students to small businesses using our platform.  We believe this program will allow us to grow our customer base.
 
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
 
In preparing our financial statements, we make estimates, assumptions and judgments that can have a significant impact on our revenue, operating income or loss and net income or loss, as well as on the value of certain assets and liabilities on our balance sheet.  We believe that the estimates, assumptions and judgments involved in our accounting policies described in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011 have the greatest potential impact on our financial statements, so we consider them to be our critical accounting policies and estimates.  During the three months ended June 30, 2012, the Company began entering into rental transactions for hosted telecommunication equipment that it accounted for under its critical accounting policies as Lease Sales and began recording Equipment Financing Receivables. Our senior management has reviewed the development and selection of our critical accounting policies and estimates and their disclosure in this Form 10-Q with the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors.

Three months ended September 30, 2012 compared to three months ended September 30, 2011
 
Revenue

Revenue from StoresOnline for the three months ended September 30, 2012 decreased 68% to $3,055,000, from $9,542,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2011.

Following our decision to suspend our direct mail seminar sales in July 2011, revenue from our StoresOnline segment has been generated primarily through principal amounts collected on historical sales of StoresOnline products and services sold through EPTAs.  Fees for our StoresOnline products and services sold under EPTAs are recognized as revenue as cash payments are received from the customer and not at the time of sale.

Revenue related to cash collected under EPTA agreements decreased to $2,132,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2012, compared to $4,190,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2011.  Our typical EPTA agreement has a term of two to three years.  As such, while we no longer plan to offer EPTAs to our customers as a result of the suspension of our direct mail seminar sales, we will continue to recognize revenue from those EPTA contracts executed prior to July 2011 as cash is collected from those contracts.  EPTAs were originally recognized in our balance sheet, net of an allowance for doubtful accounts, through our deferred revenue balance.  The remaining deferred revenue balance is expected to be recognized as revenue, however, at a decreasing rate over the next year to eighteen months.  The following table summarizes the activity within deferred revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 (in thousands):
 
StoresOnline deferred revenue as of July 1, 2012
  $ 9,228

    (4,190 )
Writeoff of EPTA deferred revenue
    (4,691 )
StoresOnline deferred revenue as of September 30, 2011
  $ 19,086  

Due to the suspension of our direct mail seminar sales channel in July 2011, we had no cash sales of StoresOnline Software licenses (“SOS licenses”) or other products at events during the three months ended September 30, 2012 and no significant cash sales at events in the three months ended September 30, 2011.  During the three months ended September 30, 2011, we recognized $3,626,000 in revenue related to prior year sales that had been deferred until fulfillment had been completed. Hosting revenue decreased to $777,000 in the three months ended September 30, 2012 compared to $940,000 in the three months ended September 30, 2011.  The decrease in hosting revenue was primarily due to attrition in the StoresOnline customer base since July 2011, primarily as a result of the suspension of the direct mail seminar sales channel.
 
Commissions from third parties and other revenue decreased 81% to $146,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2012, from $786,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2011, due primarily to the suspension our direct mail seminar sales channel.  As a result of this decision, we no longer sent leads to third parties, and as such, we do not expect this revenue source to be significant in the future.
 
Cost of Revenue

Cost of revenue consists primarily of the cost to conduct internet training workshops, credit card fees, the cost of products sold, as well as customer support costs. Cost of revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2012 decreased 71% to $402,000, from $1,402,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2011.   The decrease in cost of revenue was primarily due to suspension of our direct mail seminar sales channel in July 2011, as such, we no longer incurred the costs to conduct the internet training workshops.  The cost of revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2012 primarily related to the cost to fulfill products sold through our inside sales group, credit card fees, and customer services costs.

General and Administrative
 
General and administrative expenses consist of payroll and related expenses for executive, administrative personnel, legal, rent, accounting and other professionals, finance company service fees, and other general corporate expenses. General and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2012 decreased to $366,000 from $1,297,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2011.  The decrease was primarily due to the suspension of our direct mail seminar sales channel, which resulted in decreases in personnel and other general and administrative expenses.
 
Other Income
 
Other income primarily relates to interest earned on EPTAs, which generally carry an 18% simple interest rate. For the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, other income was $406,000 and $1,241,000, respectively.  The decrease relates to the decrease to the outstanding EPTA balance of $4,726,000 as of September 30, 2012 compared to $19,086,000 at September 30, 2011.

Crexendo Network Services segment revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 was $478,000 compared to $70,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011.  We began selling our network services products through a limited launch during the first half of 2011 with no dedicated sales representatives, as such; we had no revenue during the three months ended September 30, 2011.  A substantial portion of Crexendo Network Services segment revenue is generated through twenty-four to thirty-six month service contracts.  As such, we believe growth in Crexendo Network Services segment will initially be seen through increases in our backlog.

Below is a table which displays the Crexendo Network Services segment revenue backlog as of January 1, 2011 and 2012, and September 30, 2011 and 2012, which we expect to recognize as revenue within the next twenty-four to thirty-six months (in thousands):

Selling and Marketing

Research and Development

Unallocated corporate research and development expenses consist primarily of payroll and share-based compensation expenses, related to our engineering team, whose cost cannot be specifically allocated to any particular segment. Unallocated research and development expenses were $202,000 and $527,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The decrease was due primarily to a reduction in personnel in our engineering department.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
Working Capital
 
As of September 30, 2012, we had working capital of $8,707,000, compared to $8,381,000 as of December 31, 2011. As of September 30, 2012, we had working capital, excluding deferred revenue, of $12,941,000, compared to $17,669,000 as of December 31, 2011. Deferred revenue balances represent historical contract sales for which we cannot immediately recognize revenue. We currently anticipate that the costs and expenses we will incur as these deferred revenue amounts are recognized as revenue will be insignificant. Consequently, we do not consider deferred revenue to be a factor that impacts our future cash requirements. The decrease in working capital excluding deferred revenue is primarily attributable to the decrease in our StoreOnline segment EPTA accounts receivable as those accounts are collected.
 
In July of 2011, we announced the suspension of our direct mail seminar sales channel in our StoresOnline segment.  As a result, we have shifted our focus toward growing our Crexendo Web Services segment and Crexendo Network Services segment.  We currently plan to fund this growth through operating cash flows. If operating cash flows prove to be insufficient to fund future growth, we may need to raise additional capital through financing. There can be no assurances that such additional capital, if needed, would be available on acceptable terms or at all, which would adversely affect our Company’s ability to achieve our business objectives.
 
Cash and Cash Equivalents
 
As of September 30, 2012, we had $7,639,000 of cash and cash equivalents held primarily in operating accounts, compared to $8,658,000 as of December 31, 2011. During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, we generated cash of $248,000 in cash from operating activities.  During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, we used $1,124,000 in cash for investing activities and used cash from financing activities of $143,000, primarily due to the payment of dividends to stockholders which was offset by the exercise of stock options.
 
Trade Receivables
 
Current and long-term trade receivables, net of allowance for doubtful accounts, totaled $5,046,000 as of September 30, 2012, compared to $15,517,000 as of December 31, 2011. Long-term trade receivables, net of allowance for doubtful accounts, were $720,000 as of September 30, 2012 compared to $6,097,000 as of December 31, 2011. We offer our customers a contract with payment terms between 24 and 36 months, as one of several payment options. The payments that become due more than 12 months after the end of the fiscal period are classified as long-term trade receivables.  The decrease in our accounts receivable balance at September 30, 2012 is primarily related to cash collections of EPTA agreements of $8,088,000 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2012.
 
Accounts Payable
 
Accounts payable as of September 30, 2012 totaled $638,000, compared to $1,153,000 as of December 31, 2011. Our accounts payable as of September 30, 2012 were generally within our vendors’ terms of payment.
 
Capital
 
As of September 30, 2012, total stockholders’ equity was $13,312,000, down from $13,347,000 at December 31, 2011. The significant changes in stockholders’ equity during the first nine months of fiscal year 2012 included an increase of additional paid-in capital of $617,000 for options granted, $498,000 in proceeds from stock option exercises, and a decrease of $424,000 for common stock dividends declared. In addition, we had a net loss of $726,000 for the nine month period ending September 30, 2012. On October 24, 2012, we announced the suspension of the quarterly dividend program.

Forward-Looking Statements and Factors That May Affect Future Results and Financial Condition
 
With the exception of historical facts, the statements contained in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, which reflect our current expectations and beliefs regarding our future results of operations, performance and achievements. These statements are subject to risks and uncertainties and are based upon assumptions and beliefs that may or may not materialize. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements concerning:
 
 
our belief that our target market will increasingly look to Internet solutions providers who leverage industry and customer practices, increase predictability of success of their Internet initiatives and decrease implementation risks by providing low-cost, scalable solutions with minimal lead time;
 
 
our belief that we can compete successfully by relying on our infrastructure and marketing strategies as well as techniques, systems and procedures, and by adding additional products and services in the future;
 
 
our belief that we can continue our success by periodic review and revision of our methods of doing business and by continuing our expansion into domestic and international markets;
 
 
our belief that a key component of our success comes from a number of new, recently developed proprietary technologies and that these technologies and advances distinguish our services and products from our competitors and further help to substantially reduce our operating costs and expenses;
 
 
our contention that we do not offer our customers a “business opportunity” or a “franchise” as those terms are defined in applicable statutes of the states in which we operate;
 
 
our belief that there is a large, fragmented and under-served population of small businesses and entrepreneurs searching for professional services firms that offer business-to-consumer e-commerce solutions coupled with support and continuing education;
 
 
our expectation that our offering of products and services will evolve as some products are replaced by new and enhanced products intended to help our customers achieve success with their Internet-related businesses; and
 
 
our expectation that the costs and expenses we incur will be insignificant as deferred revenue amounts are recognized as product and other revenues when cash is collected.
 
We caution readers that our operating results are subject to various risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual results and outcomes to differ materially from those discussed or anticipated, including changes in economic conditions and internet technologies, interest rate fluctuations, and the factors set forth in the section entitled, “Risk Factors,” under Part I, Item 1A of the 2011 Form 10-K. We also advise readers not to place any undue reliance on the forward-looking statements contained in this Form 10-Q, which reflect our beliefs and expectations only as of the date of this Report. We assume no obligation to update or revise these forward-looking statements to reflect new events or circumstances or any changes in our beliefs or expectations, other than as required by law.
