Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

There have been no changes to the significant accounting policies described in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, filed with the SEC on February 22, 2022 that have had a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes.

Software Capitalization and Depreciation

As part of the transformation plan announced in May 2022, the Company began investing in its Digital Agreements operating segment for accelerated growth. In conjunction with expanded research and development activities to grow the Digital Agreements product offerings, the Company began capitalizing certain costs incurred in connection with obtaining or developing internal-use software during the nine months ended September 30, 2022. These costs include payroll and payroll-related costs for employees who are directly associated with the internal-use software projects, external direct costs of materials and services costs while developing the software. Capitalized software costs are included in “Property and equipment, net” on the condensed consolidated balance sheets and are amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated life of three years. Capitalization of such costs ceases when the project is substantially complete and ready for its intended purpose. Costs incurred during the preliminary project and post-implementation stages, as well as software maintenance and training costs, are expensed in the period in which they are incurred. The Company capitalized $1.3 million and $1.5 million of internal-use software for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively.

Restricted Cash

The Company is party to lease agreements that require letters of credit to secure certain obligations. The restricted cash related to these letters of credit is recorded in “Other non-current assets” on the condensed consolidated balance sheets in the amounts of $0.8 million at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

Sale of Equity Method Investment

On January 31, 2022, the Company sold its equity interest in Promon AS (Promon) for $18.9 million and recorded the gain on sale of $14.8 million in “Other expense (income), net”, on the condensed consolidated statement of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. Promon is a technology company headquartered in Norway that specializes in mobile app security, whose solutions focus largely on Runtime Application Self-Protection (RASP).

Prior to January 31, 2022, the Company held a 17% interest in Promon and applied the equity method of accounting to its investment in Promon because it exercised significant influence on, but did not hold a controlling interest in, the investee. Under the equity method of accounting, the Company’s proportionate share of the net earnings (losses) of Promon was reported in “Other expense (income), net”, in its condensed consolidated statements of operations. The impact of the proportionate share of net earnings (losses) was immaterial for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, as were the relative size of Promon’s assets and operations in relation to the Company’s.

The Company intends to continue to purchase and integrate Promon’s RASP technology into its customer software solutions.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) or other standard setting bodies that are adopted by us as of the specified effective date. Unless otherwise discussed, the Company believes that the issued standards that are not yet effective will not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures upon adoption.
