NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Datawatch Corporation
(the “Company” or “Datawatch”) is a Delaware corporation, formed in 1986, with executive offices located
at 4 Crosby Drive, Bedford, MA 01730. The Company is engaged in the design, development, marketing, distribution and support of
business computer software primarily for the self-service data preparation, predictive analytics and visual data discovery markets.
NOTE 2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited
consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Datawatch and its wholly-owned subsidiaries and have been prepared pursuant
to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) regarding interim financial reporting.
Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for complete financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the audited
consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2017
filed with the SEC. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
In the opinion of
management, the accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the audited consolidated
financial statements for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2017, and include all adjustments necessary for fair presentation
of the results of the interim periods presented. The operating results for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative
of the results expected for the full year. The Company considers events or transactions that occur after the balance sheet date
but before the financial statements are issued to provide additional evidence relative to certain estimates or to identify matters
that require additional disclosure.
NOTE 3. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
The Company’s
financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable. The estimated fair values
have been determined through information obtained from market sources and management estimates. The estimated fair value
of certain financial instruments including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, unbilled accounts receivables and accounts
payable, approximate the carrying value due to their short-term maturity.
The fair value of
the Company’s financial assets and liabilities are measured using inputs from the three levels of fair value hierarchy which
are as follows:
·
Level
1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
·
Level
2 — Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar
assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated
by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities; and
·
Level
3 — Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of
the assets or liabilities.
The Company classified
its cash equivalents, which primarily include money market mutual funds of $16.5 million as of September 30, 2017 within Level
2 of the fair value hierarchy. The Company held no money market mutual funds as of March 31, 2018.
As of September 30,
2017, the Company’s assets that are measured on a recurring basis and whose carrying values approximate their respective
fair values include the following (in thousands):

Non-financial assets
such as goodwill, indefinite lived assets and long-lived assets are also
subject to fair value measurements. Goodwill and indefinite lived assets are subject to recurring fair value measurements to determine
whether impairment exists. Long-lived assets are subject to non-recurring fair value measurements if they are deemed to be impaired.
The impairment models used for nonfinancial assets depend on the type of asset and are accounted for in accordance with the
Financial
Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”)
guidance on fair value
measurement.
NOTE 4. ANGOSS ACQUISITION
On January 30, 2018
(the “Acquisition Date”), Datawatch, through its wholly-owned Canadian subsidiary, acquired all of the outstanding
capital stock of Angoss Software Corporation ("Angoss"), a corporation existing under the laws of Ontario, for $24.6
million through an all cash transaction, net of $3.0 million in cash acquired (the “Angoss Acquisition”) (after adjusting
the purchase price for estimated net indebtedness of Angoss as of the closing of the Angoss Acquisition), subject to future working
capital adjustments. Of this payment, $0.1 million was determined to be post-combination compensation expense. Excluding this amount,
the purchase consideration from the Angoss Acquisition totaled $24.5 million.
The Company accounted
for the Angoss Acquisition in accordance with ASC 805,
Business Combinations
. The Company has allocated the cost to acquire
Angoss to its identifiable tangible and intangible assets and liabilities, with the remaining amount classified as goodwill. While
the Company uses its best estimates and assumptions as part of the purchase price allocation process to value the assets acquired
and liabilities assumed on the acquisition date, its estimates and assumptions are subject to refinement. Fair value estimates
are based on a complex series of judgments about future events and uncertainties and rely heavily on estimates and assumptions.
The judgments used to determine the estimated fair value assigned to each class of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, as
well as asset lives, can materially impact the Company’s results of operations. The finalization of the purchase accounting
assessment may result in a change in the valuation of assets acquired and liabilities assumed and may have a material impact on
the Company’s results of operations and financial position. The Angoss Acquisition will necessitate the use of this measurement
period to adequately analyze and assess a number of the factors used in establishing the fair value of certain tangible and intangible
assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date and the related tax impacts of any changes made. Any potential
adjustments made could be material in relation to the preliminary values presented below.
The table below summarizes
the estimated fair value of net assets acquired and net liabilities assumed in the Angoss Aquisition as of January 30, 2018 (in
thousands).

The amount of goodwill
resulting from the allocation of purchase consideration is primarily attributable to expected synergies. Goodwill is not expected
to be deductible for tax purposes. In accordance with FASB ASC 805, goodwill will not be amortized but instead will be tested for
impairment at least annually and more frequently if certain indicators of impairment are present. In the event that goodwill becomes
impaired, we will record an expense for the amount impaired during the fiscal quarter in which the determination is made.
The Company incurred
approximately $0.8 million of acquisition related costs in the three-month period ended March 31, 2018 and $1.0 million for the
six-month period ended March 31, 2018. These costs are included in general and administrative expense in the accompanying consolidated
statements of operations.
The intangible
assets, excluding goodwill and assembled workforce are being amortized on a straight-line
basis over their estimated lives as follows (in thousands):

In accordance with
FASB ASC Topic 350,
Intangibles—Goodwill and Other
, Management determined that the straight-line method of amortization
would be used for customer relationships and developed technology as this pattern most closely reflects the economic benefits of
the intangible assets consumed.
Management is responsible
for the valuation of net assets acquired and considered a number of factors, including valuations and appraisals, when estimating
the fair values and estimated useful lives of acquired assets and liabilities. The fair values of the intangible assets and certain
liabilities were determined using variations of the income approach.
Customer relationships
The $4.5 million fair
value of customer relationships was determined using the multi-period excess earnings method, which estimates the fair value of
an asset based on its ability to generate future cash flows. The 5 year useful life of customer relationships was determined based
on an analysis of future net cash flows and the amount of time that would be required to realize 95% of the cumulative net cash
flows attributable to the existing customer relationships.
Developed Technology
The $3.4 million fair
value of developed technology was determined using the relief from royalty method. By owning the developed technology, Datawatch
does not have to pay royalties for the continued use of the asset, which has value. Management determined a useful life of 8 years
for this asset is appropriate because it represents the point in time at which 95% of the cumulative net cash flows attributable
to the developed technology would be expected to be realized.
Trade Names
Similar to developed
technology, the $3.2 million fair value of the trade names were determined using the relief from royalty method. Management has
utilized an indefinite useful life for the acquired ‘Angoss’ and ‘Knowledge’ trade names as the Company
currently plans to continue to use both trade names in association with all product and service offerings underlying the cash flows
attributable to these trade names.
Deferred revenue
The fair value of
the acquired deferred revenue of $5.6 million was determined using a cost build-up approach, which estimates the costs to complete
the remaining obligations underlying the deferred revenue and applying a mark-up based to obtain an appropriate operating margin.
Deferred tax liability
As part of the purchase
accounting related to the Angoss Acquisition, the Company recognized a deferred tax liability of $0.8 million related to indefinite
lived tradename intangible assets acquired in the Angoss Acquisition.

NOTE 5. GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE
ASSETS
Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible
assets
Goodwill represents
the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of identifiable net assets of acquired businesses. Indefinite-lived intangibles
are intangible assets whose useful lives are indefinite in that their lives extend beyond the foreseeable horizon – that
is there is no foreseeable limit on the period of time over which they are expected to contribute to the cash flows of the reporting
entity. The Company accounts for these items in accordance with FASB’s ASC 350
Intangibles – Goodwill and Other
.
This requires that goodwill and intangible assets having indefinite lives are not amortized but instead are reviewed annually,
or more frequently as a result of an event or change in circumstances, for possible impairment with impaired assets written down
to fair value. Goodwill, assembled workforce and Angoss trade names are considered indefinite-lived intangibles. The Company conducts
its annual impairment test for goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets during the fourth quarter of each fiscal year.

NOTE 6. FINANCING ARRANGEMENT
Revolving Line of Credit and Term
Note
In connection with
the Angoss Acquisition, on January 24, 2018, Datawatch entered into a new credit facility with a bank. The credit facility includes
a $10.0 million term loan and a $5.0 million revolving line of credit, secured by substantially all of the assets of Datawatch,
excluding intellectual property. The term loan, which was used to fund a portion of the Angoss acquisition, bears interest at the
prime rate plus 1%, is repayable based on a 48-month amortization schedule, matures on January 24, 2021, and is subject to prepayment
penalties. The line of credit, which is intended to be used for working capital and general corporate purposes, bears interest
at the prime rate plus 0.5% and is due and payable on January 24, 2020. Commitment fees of $50,000 and $17,500 were paid for the
term loan and line of credit, respectively. Availability under the line of credit is based on the amount of eligible accounts receivable
from time to time. The credit facility agreement contains various conditions, covenants and representations with which the Company
must be in compliance in order to borrow funds and to avoid an event of default.
As of March 31, 2018,
the total amount of debt outstanding on the term loan was $9.7 million, net of $0.1 million in capitalized lender fees and debt
issuance costs. The interest rate on the term loan as of March 31, 2018 was 5.75%.
As of March 31, 2018,
the Company had no outstanding debt on the revolving line of credit.

in cost of software license was $0.1 million and $0.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively,
and $0.3 million and $0.4 million for the six months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Minimum royalty obligations were
insignificant for the six months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017.
Contingencies
From time to time,
the Company is subject to claims and may be party to actions that arise in the normal course of business. The Company is not party
to any litigation that management believes will have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial condition
or results of operations.
NOTE 8. INCOME TAXES
The provision for income taxes is based
on the earnings or losses reported in the consolidated financial statements. The Company recognizes deferred tax liabilities and
assets for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the Company’s financial statements
or tax returns. Deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the difference between the financial statement carrying
amounts and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect in the years in which the differences are expected
to reverse. The Company provides a valuation allowance against deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not that some or all
of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.
The Company follows the accounting guidance
for uncertain tax positions. This guidance clarifies the accounting for income taxes by prescribing the minimum threshold a tax
position is required to meet before being recognized in the financial statements. It also provides guidance on derecognition, measurement,
classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition.
On December 22, 2017, President Trump signed
into law the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. ASC 740 requires deferred tax assets and liabilities to be measured using the enacted rate
for the period in which they are expected to reverse. The tax law change was enacted as of December 31, 2017. Accordingly, the
reduction to the U.S. Federal corporate tax rate to 21% should be utilized to measure the U.S. deferred tax assets and liabilities
that will reverse in future periods. The Company's reduction to its net U.S. deferred tax asset of $6.8 million was offset by a
corresponding reduction to its valuation allowance of $6.8 million. In addition, the new legislation includes a transition tax
in which all foreign earnings are deemed to be repatriated to the U.S. and taxable at specified rates included within the tax legislation.
The Company is in the process of calculating the impact of the transition tax. The analysis is complex and encompasses many years
as far back as 1992. The Company is working with its foreign subsidiaries and their local tax service providers to gather historical
information, including historical tax returns, in order to complete the calculation. Pursuant to Staff Accounting Bulletin No.
118, the Company's measurement period, not to exceed one year, to calculate the tax impact of the tax law changes is still open.
At this time, the Company does not anticipate a material impact due to the new tax law.
During the three and six months ended March
31, 2018, the Company recorded a tax expense of $0.2 million and $0.2 million, respectively, primarily related to foreign withholding
income taxes and estimated state taxes. During the three and six months ended March 31, 2017, the Company recorded a tax expense
of $6,000 and $8,000, respectively, primarily related to estimated state taxes.
As part of the purchase accounting related
to the Angoss Acquisition, the Company recorded a deferred tax liability of approximately $0.8 million related to indefinite lived
tradename intangibles acquired as part of the purchase of Angoss. The Company is still in the process of collecting information
and performing analysis related to this transaction and the measurement period for this transaction is still open.
The Company’s deferred tax assets
include net operating loss carry forwards and tax credits that expire at different times through 2037. Significant judgment is
required in determining the Company’s provision for income taxes, the carrying value of deferred tax assets and liabilities
and the valuation allowance recorded against net deferred tax assets. Factors such as future reversals of deferred tax assets and
liabilities, projected future taxable income, changes in enacted tax rates and the period over which the Company’s deferred
tax assets will be recoverable are considered in making these determinations. Management does not believe the deferred tax assets
are more likely than not to be realized and a full valuation allowance has been provided against the deferred tax assets in all
jurisdictions at March 31, 2018 and September 30, 2017.
At September 30, 2017, the Company had
a cumulative tax liability of $0.1 million related to foreign tax exposure that could result in cash payments. There were no significant
changes to the Company’s uncertain tax positions during the three and six months ended March 31, 2018.
NOTE 9. CALCULATION OF NET LOSS PER
SHARE
Basic net loss per
share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted net loss per share
is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding plus additional common shares that
would have been outstanding if dilutive potential common shares had been issued. For the purposes of this calculation, unexercised
stock options and common shares in respect of unvested restricted stock awards are considered common equivalents in periods in
which they have a dilutive effect. Unexercised stock options and common shares in respect of unvested restricted stock awards that
are anti-dilutive are excluded from the calculation.

For the three and
six months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, all common equivalents were anti-dilutive as a result of the Company’s net loss
position. Accordingly, all outstanding stock options and RSUs were excluded from the calculation of basic and diluted net loss
per share for the three and six month periods ended March 31, 2018 and 2017.
NOTE 10. SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION
The Company provides
its employees, officers, consultants and directors with stock options, restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and other stock
rights for common stock of the Company on a discretionary basis. All grants of options and RSUs are subject to the terms and conditions
determined by the Compensation and Stock Committee of the Board of Directors (the “Committee”), and generally vest
over a three-year period and expire either seven or ten years from the date of grant. All awards granted during the six months
ended March 31, 2018 were granted under the Company’s Third Amended and Restated Equity Compensation and Incentive Plan (the
“2011 Plan”). At March 31, 2018, there were 341,270 shares available for future issuance under the 2011 Plan.
Under the 2011 Plan,
stock options are granted at exercise prices not less than the fair market value of the underlying common stock at the date of
grant. All of the Company’s share-based awards are accounted for as equity instruments and there have been no liability-classified
awards granted. Share-based compensation expense for share-based payment awards issued to employees and directors is measured based
on the grant-date fair value of the award and recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period of the award. Share-based
compensation expense for share-based payment awards issued to non-employees is revalued each fiscal quarter based on the current
fair value of the award and recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period of the award.
Stock Options
The Company estimates
the fair value of each stock option grant using the Black-Scholes option valuation model. The Black-Scholes option valuation model
incorporates assumptions as to stock price volatility, the expected life of options, a risk-free interest rate and dividend yield.

Restricted Stock Units
The fair value related
to RSUs issued to employees and directors is calculated based on the closing stock price of the Company’s common stock on
the date of the grant. The fair value related to RSUs issued to non-employees is revalued each fiscal quarter, based on the closing
stock price of the Company’s common stock on the last day of each fiscal quarter.

NOTE 11. SEGMENT INFORMATION AND REVENUE BY GEOGRAPHIC LOCATION
The Company has determined
that it has only one reportable segment. The Company’s chief operating decision maker, its Chief Executive Officer, does
not manage any part of the Company separately, and the allocation of resources and assessment of performance is based solely on
the Company’s consolidated operations and operating results.
The Company conducts
operations in the United States and internationally. The following table presents information about the Company’s geographic

NOTE 12. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In January 2017, the
FASB issued ASU 2017-04,
Intangibles-Goodwill And Other (Topic 350): Simplifying The Test For Goodwill Impairment
, in an
effort to simplify the subsequent measurement of goodwill and the associated procedures to determine fair value. The guidance eliminates
Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. Instead, an entity should perform its annual, or interim, goodwill impairment test by
comparing the fair value of the reporting unit with its carrying amount, and recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which
the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value, not to exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to the
reporting unit. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within
that reporting period. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on our financial statements, unless
we have an impairment.
In June 2016, the
FASB issued ASU 2016-13
, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial
Instruments,
which requires entities to estimate all expected credit losses for certain types of financial instruments, including
trade receivables, held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable
forecasts. The updated guidance also expands the disclosure requirements to enable users of financial statements to understand
the entity’s assumptions, models and methods for estimating expected credit losses. This guidance is effective for fiscal
years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within that reporting period. Early adoption is permitted. The
Company is in the process of evaluating the potential impacts of this new guidance on the Company’s consolidated financial
statements and related disclosures.
In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09,
Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting
, which is intended to simplify various aspects of how share-based
payments are accounted for and presented in financial statements. The standard is effective prospectively for fiscal years, and
interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted. The Company elected
to adopt the pronouncement on a prospective basis starting from the first quarter of the fiscal year ended September 30, 2018.
As a result of the adoption of ASU 2016-09, we recognize the impact of forfeitures when they occur with no adjustment for estimated
forfeitures and recognize excess tax benefits as a reduction of income tax expense regardless of whether the benefit reduces income
taxes payable. At September 30, 2017, the Company had approximately $7.6 million of Federal and state net operating loss carryovers
related to excess stock compensation. The Company has increased its net operating loss deferred tax asset with a corresponding
increase to its valuation allowance.
In February 2016,
the FASB issued ASU 2016-02,
Leases (Topic 842)
, which requires lessees to recognize, on the balance sheet, leases with
a lease terms of greater than twelve months as a right-of-use asset and a lease liability. The standard is effective for fiscal
years beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company is currently evaluating the effect that the standard will have on the Company’s
consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In May 2014, the FASB
issued ASU 2014-09,
Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)
. The ASU is the result of a joint project by the FASB
and the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) to clarify the principles for recognizing revenue and to
develop a common revenue standard for GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) that would: remove
inconsistencies and weaknesses, provide a more robust framework for addressing revenue issues, improve comparability of revenue
recognition practices across entities, jurisdictions, industries, and capital markets, improve disclosure requirements and resulting
financial statements, and simplify the presentation of financial statements. The core principle of the new guidance is that an
entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the
consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The ASU was initially effective
for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. On July 9, 2015, the FASB voted to delay the effective date of
the new revenue standard by one year, but to permit entities to choose to adopt the standard as of the original effective date.
We plan to elect the
full retrospective adoption model, which will be effective for the Company beginning on October 1, 2018. Quarterly results in the
2019 fiscal year and comparative prior periods will be compliant with ASC Topic 606, with the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
year ended September 30, 2019 being the first such Annual Report issued in compliance with ASC Topic 606.
We have begun to evaluate
the effect the new revenue standard will have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures, but have not completed
our evaluation and implementation processes. Based on evaluations to date, the Company expects the following impacts:
|
·
|
Currently, we recognize revenue from subscription licenses ratably over the term of the agreement.
Subscription licenses currently include a maintenance element. A portion of the arrangement consideration will be allocated from
the subscription to the maintenance obligation based on the relative stand-alone selling price. The adoption of the new revenue
standard will result in revenue for performance obligations recognized as they are satisfied. Therefore, revenue from the subscription
license performance obligation is expected to be recognized upon delivery. Revenue from maintenance includes two performance obligations,
upgrades and customer support, and is expected to be recognized on a straight-line basis over the contractual term.
|
|
·
|
Currently, the Company allocates revenue to licenses under the residual method when it has Vendor
Specific Objective Evidence (“VSOE”) for the remaining undelivered elements, which allocates any future credits or
significant discounts entirely to the license. The adoption of ASC 606 will result in future credits, significant discounts, and
material rights under ASC 606, generally allocated to all performance obligations based upon their relative selling price. Under
ASC 606, additional license revenue from the reallocation of such arrangement considerations will be recognized when control is
transferred to the client, which is generally upon delivery of the license.
|
|
·
|
Additionally, we do not have VSOE, in software bundled arrangements involving fixed price services,
which results in revenue being deferred in such instances until such time as VSOE exists for all undelivered elements or recognized
ratably over the longest performance period. The adoption of the new revenue standard eliminates the requirement for VSOE and replaces
it with the concept of a stand-alone selling price. Once the transaction price is allocated to each of the performance obligations
based on their relative stand-alone selling prices, we can recognize revenue as the performance obligations are delivered, either
at a point in time or over time. Under the new revenue standard, fixed price consulting revenue will be recognized over time based
on the output method that reflects the Company’s performance on the contract. This will result in the acceleration of consulting
revenue when compared to the current practice of ratable recognition for consulting when there is a lack of VSOE.
|
|
·
|
Under our current revenue recognition policy, we recognize royalty revenue in the period in which
we receive royalty reports, which is typically in the quarter immediately following the quarter in which sales of royalty-bearing
products occurred. Under the new standard, we will be required to make estimates of royalties earned in the current period and
record royalty revenue based on those estimates.
|
|
·
|
We have also assessed accounting for incremental costs to obtain a contract and costs incurred
in fulfilling a contract. Based on preliminary results of the evaluation, which is still in process, we currently believe the most
significant potential change to be accounting for commissions, as these incremental costs are expected to be capitalized and will
be amortized over a period of time which could extend beyond the initial contract term.
|
|
·
|
There will be a corresponding effect on tax liabilities in relation to all of the above impacts.
|
|
·
|
Once we adopt the provisions of ASC Topic 606, we do not anticipate that our internal control framework
will materially change, but rather that existing internal controls will be modified and augmented, as necessary, to consider our
new revenue recognition policy effective October 1, 2018. As we implement the new standard, we will endeavor to develop internal
controls to ensure that we adequately evaluate our contracts and accurately restate our prior-period operating results under ASC
606.
|
The foregoing expectations
are subject to change as we complete our evaluation and implementation processes.
The Company has considered all other recently
issued accounting pronouncements and does not believe the adoption of such pronouncements will have a material impact on its consolidated
financial statements.
