Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

​

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (ASU 2016-13), which requires measurement and recognition of expected credit losses for financial assets held at the reporting date based on internal information, external information, or a combination of both relating to past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. ASU No. 2016-13 replaces the existing incurred loss impairment model with a forward-looking expected credit loss model, which will result in earlier recognition of credit losses. Subsequent to the issuance of ASU No. 2016-13, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-19, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses, ASU No. 2019-04, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments  - Credit Losses, Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and Topic 825, Financial Instrument, ASU No. 2019-05, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326) Targeted Transition Relief, ASU No. 2016-13, ASU No. 2019-10 Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326), Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815), and Leases (Topic 842), and ASU No. 2019-11 Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses. The subsequent ASUs do not change the core principle of the guidance in ASU No. 2016-13. Instead, these amendments are intended to clarify and improve operability of certain topics included within ASU No. 2016-13.

​

Additionally, ASU No. 2019-10 defers the effective date for the adoption of the new standard on credit losses for public filers that are considered small reporting companies (“SRC”) as defined by the SEC to fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years, which will be fiscal year 2024 for the Company if it continues to be classified as a SRC. In February 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-02, which provides guidance regarding methodologies, documentation, and internal controls related to expected credit losses. The subsequent amendments will have the same effective date and transition requirements as ASU No. 2016-13. Early adoption is permitted. Topic 326 requires a modified retrospective approach by recording a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the period of adoption. While the Company is currently evaluating the impact of Topic 326, the Company does not expect the adoption of this ASU to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements or the related disclosure.

​

​

Pronouncements Recently Adopted

​

In August 2018, FASB issued ASU 2018-15, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40). This update requires a customer in a cloud computing service arrangement to follow the internal-use software guidance to determine which implementation costs to recognize and defer as an asset. We adopted this guidance as of our first quarter of fiscal year 2021 with no impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

​

In December 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes. This update simplifies the accounting for income taxes. We adopted this guidance as of our first quarter of fiscal year 2022 with no impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Revenue Recognition

​

Revenue Recognition Policy

​

Our revenue is comprised of two categories including subscription and professional services. Subscription includes SaaS revenue and legacy revenue. SaaS revenue includes revenue from cloud delivery arrangements, term licenses, and embedded OEM royalties and associated support. Legacy revenue is associated with license, or maintenance and support contracts on perpetual license arrangements that we no longer offer. Professional services includes consulting, implementation and training.

​

Significant Judgment Applied in the Determination of Revenue Recognition

​

We enter into contractual arrangements with customers that may include promises to transfer multiple services, such as subscription, support and professional services. With respect to our business, a performance obligation is a promise to transfer a service to a customer that is distinct. Significant judgment is required to determine whether services are distinct performance obligations that should be accounted for separately or combined as one unit of accounting. Additionally, significant judgment is required to determine the timing of revenue recognition.

​

We allocate the transaction price to each performance obligation on a relative SSP. The SSP is the price at which we would sell a promised service separately to one of our customers. Judgment is required to determine the SSP for each distinct performance obligation.

​

We determine the SSP by considering our pricing objectives in relation to market demand. Consideration is placed based on our history of discounting prices, size and volume of transactions involved, customer demographics and geographic locations, price lists, contract prices and our market strategy.

​

Determination of Revenue Recognition

​

Under Topic 606, we recognize revenue upon the transfer of control of promised services to our customers in the amount that is commensurate with the consideration that we expect to receive in exchange for those services. If consideration includes a variable amount in the arrangement, such as service level credits or contingent fees, then we include an estimate of the amount that we expect to receive for the total transaction price.

The amount of revenue that we recognize is based on (i) identifying the contract with a customer; (ii) identifying the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determining the transaction price; (iv) allocating the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract on a relative SSP basis; and (v) recognizing revenue when, or as, we satisfy each performance obligation in the contract typically through delivery or when control is transferred to the customer.

​

Subscription Revenue

​

The following customer arrangements are recognized ratably over the contract term as the performance obligations are delivered:

For contracts involving distinct software licenses, the license performance obligation is satisfied at a point in time when control is transferred to the customer.

Table of Contents

We typically invoice our customers in advance upon execution of the contract or subsequent renewals with payment terms between 30 and 45 days. Invoiced amounts are recorded in accounts receivable, deferred revenue or revenue, depending if control transferred to our customers based on each arrangement.

​

The Company has a royalty revenue agreement with a customer related to the Company’s embedded intellectual property. Under the terms of the agreement, the customer is to remit a percentage of sales to the Company. These embedded OEM royalties are included as subscription revenue. Under Topic 606, since these arrangements are for sales-based licenses of intellectual property, for which the guidance in paragraph ASC 606-10-55-65 applies, the Company recognizes revenue only as the subsequent sale occurs. As the sales in connection with the royalty revenue agreement are reported by the customer a quarter in arrears, such revenue is recognized at the time it is reported and paid by the customer given that any estimated variable consideration would have to be fully constrained due to the unpredictability of such estimate and the unavoidable risk that it may lead to significant revenue reversals.

​

Professional Services Revenue

​

Professional services revenue includes system implementation, consulting and training. The transaction price is allocated to various performance obligations based on their stand-alone selling prices. Revenue allocated to each performance obligation is recognized at the earlier of satisfaction of discrete performance obligations, or as work is performed on a time and material basis. Our consulting and implementation service contracts are bid either on a time-and-materials basis or on a fixed-fee basis. Fixed fees are generally paid upon milestone billing or acceptance at pre-determined points in the contract. Amounts that have been invoiced are recorded in accounts receivable and in deferred revenue or revenue, depending on whether transfer of control to customers has occurred.

Training revenue that meets the criteria to be accounted for separately is recognized when training is provided.

Contracts with Multiple Performance Obligations

​

The Company enters into contracts that can include various combinations of subscriptions, professional services and maintenance and support, which are generally distinct and accounted for as separate performance obligations. For contracts with multiple performance obligations, the Company allocates the transaction price of the contract to each performance obligation on a relative basis using the respective SSP for each performance obligation.

Costs Capitalized to Obtain Revenue Contracts, Net

​

Under Topic 606, we capitalize incremental costs of obtaining a non-cancelable subscription and support revenue contracts. The capitalized amounts consist primarily of sales commissions paid to our direct sales force. Capitalized amounts also include (i) amounts paid to employees other than the direct sales force who earn incentive payouts under annual compensation plans that are tied to the value of contracts acquired and (ii) the associated payroll taxes and fringe benefit costs associated with the payments to our employees.

​

Costs capitalized related to new revenue contracts are generally deferred and amortized on a straight-line basis over a period of benefit that we estimate to be five years. We determine the period of benefit by taking into consideration the historical and expected durations of our customer contracts, the expected useful lives of our technologies, and other factors. Commissions for renewal contracts relating to our cloud-based arrangements are expensed when incurred, as we do not consider renewal contracts to be commensurate with initial customer contracts. Historically, any commission associated with renewals have been immaterial. Amortization of costs to obtain revenue contracts is included as a component of sales and marketing expenses in our condensed consolidated statements of operations. The Company does not adjust transaction price for the effects of a significant financing component when the period between the transfers of the promised good or service to the customer and payment for that good or service by the customer is expected to be one year or less. The Company assessed each of its revenue contracts in order to determine whether a significant financing component exists, and determined its contracts did not include a significant financing component for the periods ended September 30, 2021 and 2020.

​

During the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, we capitalized $646,000 and $14,000 of costs to obtain revenue contracts, respectively, and amortized $356,000 and $250,000 to sales and marketing expense, respectively.

Table of Contents

Capitalized costs to obtain revenue contracts, net were approximately $4.2 million and $3.9 million as of September 30, 2021 and June 30, 2021, respectively.

​

Deferred Revenue

Deferred revenue primarily consists of payments received or invoiced in advance of revenue recognition from cloud delivery arrangements, term licenses and embedded OEM royalties and associated support. Deferred revenue is recognized as revenue once revenue recognition criteria is met. We generally invoice our customers in annual installments. The deferred revenue balance does not represent the total transaction price of our non-cancelable cloud delivery and support arrangements as a result from the timing of revenue recognition. Deferred revenue that is expected to be recognized within one year and beyond one year is classified as current and noncurrent deferred revenue, respectively.

Segment Information

​

We operate in one segment: the development, license, implementation and support of our customer interaction software solutions. Operating segments are identified as components of an enterprise for which discrete financial information is available and regularly reviewed by the Company’s chief operating decision-makers in order to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance. Our chief operating decision-makers, under ASC 280, Segment Reporting, are our executive management team. Our chief operating decision-makers review financial information presented on a consolidated basis for purposes of making operating decisions and assessing financial performance. The Company operates in one operating segment and all required financial segment information can be found in the condensed consolidated financial statements.

​

Our sales are derived from North America and Europe, Middle East, and Africa. However, we incur operating expenses in the North America, Europe, Middle East, Africa and Asia Pacific regions. Revenue by geography is generally determined on the region of our contracting entity rather than the region of our customer.

​

The following table presents our operating income among our three operating regions (in thousands):

​

​

The following table presents our long-lived assets, corresponding to our geographic areas are as follows (in thousands):

​

​

For the purposes of entity-wide geographic area disclosures, we define long-lived assets as hard assets that cannot be easily removed, such as property and equipment.

​

Concentration of Credit Risk and Significant Customers

​

Our financial instruments that are exposed to concentrations of credit risk include cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable. We maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts which is based on historical losses and the number of days past due for collection. Receivables are written off against the allowance when we have exhausted collection efforts without success. Two customers, who are also our partners, accounted for 24% and 13%, respectively, of total revenue during the three months ended September 30, 2021. Two customers, who are also partners, accounted for 19% and 11% of total revenue during the three months ended September 30, 2020, respectively.

​

​

Table of Contents

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

​

We extend unsecured credit to our customers on a regular basis. Our accounts receivable are derived from revenue earned from customers and are not interest bearing. We also maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts to reserve for potential uncollectible trade receivables. We review our trade receivables by aging category to identify specific customers with known disputes or collectability issues. We exercise judgment when determining the adequacy of these reserves as we evaluate historical bad debt trends, general economic conditions in the U.S. and internationally, and changes in customer financial conditions. We write off a receivable after collection efforts have been exhausted and the amount is deemed uncollectible.

​

In certain Company contracts, contractual billings do not coincide with revenue recognized on the contract. Unbilled accounts receivables are recorded when revenue recognized on the contract exceeds billings, pursuant to contract provisions, and become billable upon certain criteria being met. Unbilled accounts receivables, for which the Company has the unconditional right to consideration, totaled approximately $1.2 million and $719,000 as of September 30, 2021, and June 30, 2021, respectively, and are included in the accounts receivable balance.

​

Stock-Based Compensation

​

We account for stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation. Under the fair value recognition provisions of ASC 718, stock-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and is recognized as expense over the vesting period. Stock-based compensation expense consists of expenses for stock options granted under our Amended and Restated 2005 Management Stock Option Plan and our Amended and Restated 2005 Stock Incentive Plan and our 2017 employee stock purchase plan (ESPP).

​

The ESPP provides that eligible employees may purchase the Company’s common stock through payroll deductions at a price equal to 85% of the lower of the fair market value at the entry date of the applicable offering period or at the end of each applicable purchasing period. The offering period, meaning a period with respect to which the right to purchase shares of our common stock may be granted under the ESPP, will not exceed twenty-seven months and consist of a series of six-month purchase periods. Eligible employees may join the ESPP at the beginning of any six-month purchase period. Under the terms of the ESPP, employees can choose to have between 1% and 15% of their base earnings withheld to purchase the Company’s common stock.  

​

Determining the fair value of the stock-based awards at the grant date requires significant judgment and the use of estimates, particularly surrounding Black-Scholes valuation assumptions such as stock price volatility and expected option term.

​

Below is a summary of stock-based compensation included in the costs and expenses (in thousands):

​

​

Total stock-based compensation includes expense related to non-employee awards of approximately $55,000 and $51,000 during the three months ended September 30, 2021, and 2020, respectively.

​

Total stock-based compensation includes expense related to the ESPP of approximately $132,000 and $102,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2021, and 2020, respectively.

Table of Contents

We utilize the Black-Scholes valuation model for estimating the fair value of the stock-based compensation of options granted. All shares of our common stock issued pursuant to our stock option plans are only issued out of an authorized reserve of shares of common stock which were previously registered with the SEC on Registration Statements on Form S-8.

​

During the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, we granted options to purchase 2,950,560 and 41,200 shares of common stock with a weighted-average fair value of $7.30 and $6.34 per share, respectively.

​

We used the following assumptions:

​

​

The dividend yield of zero is based on the fact that we have never paid cash dividends and have no present intention to pay cash dividends. We determined the appropriate measure of expected volatility by reviewing historic volatility in the share price of our common stock, as adjusted for certain events that management deemed to be non-recurring and non-indicative of future events. The risk-free interest rate is derived from the average U.S. Treasury Strips rate with maturities approximating the expected lives of the awards during the period, which approximate the rate in effect at the time of the grant.

​

On June 1, 2021, employees were granted the right to purchase an aggregate of 80,018 shares under the ESPP, and compensation expense related to those purchase rights for the three months ended September 30, 2021 was $132,000.

​

On June 1, 2020, employees were granted the right to purchase an aggregate of 58,096 shares under the ESPP, and compensation expense related to those purchase rights for the three months ended September 30, 2020 was $102,000.

​

As of September 30, 2021, there were 643,075 shares of common stock available for issuance under the ESPP.

​

We base our estimate of expected life of a stock option on the historical exercise behavior and cancellations of all past option grants made by the Company during the time period which its equity shares have been publicly traded, the contractual term of the option, the vesting period and the expected remaining term of the outstanding options.

​

In accordance with ASU 2016-09, Compensation—Stock Compensation: Improvements to Employee Share-Based Accounting, we elected to continue to estimate forfeitures in the calculation of stock-based compensation expense.

​

As of September 30, 2021 there was approximately $18.9 million of total unrecognized compensation cost, net of expected forfeitures, related to unvested stock options, which is expected to be recognized over the weighted-average period of 1.91 years. There were 156,170 and 102,905 options exercised during the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Table of Contents

Leases

​

Lease agreements are evaluated to determine whether an arrangement is or contains a lease in accordance with ASC 842, Leases.

​

Operating leases are included in operating lease right-of-use (ROU) assets, current operating lease liabilities, and noncurrent operating lease liabilities in the condensed consolidated financial statements. ROU assets represent the Company’s right to use leased assets over the agreed upon term. Lease liabilities represent the Company’s contractual obligation to make lease payments over the lease term.

​

For operating leases, ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the commencement date of the lease. The lease liability is measured as the present value of the lease payments over the lease term, using the rate implicit in the lease if readily determinable. If the rate implicit in the lease cannot be readily determined, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate at lease commencement. The operating lease right-of-use assets are calculated as the present value of the remaining lease payments plus unamortized initial direct costs and any prepayments, less unamortized lease incentives received.

​

Operating leases typically include non-lease components such as common-area maintenance costs. We have elected to include non-lease components with lease payments for the purpose of calculating lease right-of-use assets and liabilities, to the extent that they are fixed. Non-lease component payments that are not fixed are expensed as incurred as variable lease payments.

​

Lease terms may include renewal or extension options to the extent they are reasonably certain to be exercised. The assessment of whether renewal or extension options are reasonably certain to be exercised is made at lease commencement. Factors considered in determining whether an option is reasonably certain of exercise include, but are not limited to, the value of any leasehold improvements, the value of renewal rates compared to market rates, and the presence of factors that would cause a significant economic penalty to the Company if the option were not exercised. Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company has elected not to recognize right-of-use assets and obligations for leases with an initial term of twelve months or less, and has applied a capitalization threshold to recognize a lease on the balance sheet. The expense associated with short-term leases and leases that do not meet the Company’s capitalization threshold are recorded to lease expense in the period it is incurred.  

​

Table of Contents

The following table presents our revenue by geography. Revenue by geography is generally determined on the region of our contracting entity rather than the region of our customer. The relative proportion of our total revenue between each geographic region as presented in the table below was materially consistent across each of our operating regions’ revenue for the periods presented.

​

​

Contract Balances

Contract assets, if any, consist of unbilled receivables for completed performance obligations which have not been invoiced, and for which we do not have an unconditional right to consideration. Contract liabilities consist of deferred revenue for which we have an obligation to transfer services to customers and have received consideration in advance or the amount is due from customers. Once the obligations are fulfilled, then deferred revenue is recognized to revenue in the respective period. There were contract assets of unbilled accounts receivable of $1.2 million and $719,000 for the period ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

​

The following table presents the changes in contract liabilities (in thousands):

​

​

$15.0 million of the deferred revenue deductions during the three months ended September 30, 2021, were from amounts outstanding as of June 30, 2021.

​

Remaining Performance Obligations

​

Remaining performance obligations represent contracted revenue that had not yet been recognized, and include deferred revenue, invoices that have been issued to customers but were uncollected and have not been recognized as revenue, and amounts that will be invoiced and recognized as revenue in future periods.  The transaction price allocated to the remaining performance obligation is influenced by a variety of factors, including seasonality, timing of renewals, average contract terms and foreign currency exchange rates. As of September 30, 2021, our remaining performance obligations were $71.9 million, of which we expect to recognize $52.8 million and $19.1 million as revenue within one year and beyond one year, respectively.

​

3. NET INCOME PER COMMON SHARE

​

Basic net income per common share is computed using the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding. In periods where net income is reported, the weighted-average number of shares is increased by warrants and options in the money to calculate diluted net income per common share.

​

The following table represents the calculation of basic and diluted net income per common share (unaudited, in thousands, except per share data):

​

Weighted-average shares of stock options to purchase 1,372,400 and 232,206 shares of common stock for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, were not included in the computation of diluted net income per common share due to their anti-dilutive effect. Such securities could have a dilutive effect in future periods.

​

4. INCOME TAXES

Income taxes are accounted for using the asset and liability method in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes (ASC 740). Under this method, deferred tax liabilities and assets are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. For the legacy eGain business in the United States, based upon the weight of available evidence, which includes our historical operating performance, our future investment plans, and the uncertainty in the current market environment due to COVID-19, we have provided a full valuation allowance against our net deferred tax assets. For the legacy eGain business in the United Kingdom, based on the positive evidence, the Company has determined it would be able to utilize the deferred tax assets and does not have a valuation allowance against the deferred tax assets. The remaining eGain foreign operations as well as Exony’s business have historically been profitable and we believe it is more likely than not that those assets will be realized. Our tax provision primarily relates to foreign activities as well as state income taxes. Our income tax rate differs from the statutory tax rates primarily due to the utilization of net operating loss carry-forwards which had previously been valued against as well as our foreign operations.

We account for uncertain tax positions according to the provisions of ASC 740. ASC 740 contains a two-step approach for recognizing and measuring uncertain tax positions. Tax positions are evaluated for recognition by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates that it is probable that the position will be sustained on audit, including resolution of related appeals or litigation. Tax benefits are then measured as the largest amount which is more than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. We consider many factors when evaluating and estimating tax positions and tax benefits, which may require periodic adjustments and which may not accurately anticipate actual outcomes.

​

Table of Contents

As of June 30, 2021, we completed a 382 study under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code through June 30, 2020, and have determined there was no loss of NOLs as a result of these changes. Utilization of the NOL or tax credit carryforwards to offset future taxable income and taxes, respectively, are subject to an annual limitation under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 and similar state provisions, which is determined by first multiplying the value of the Company’s stock at the time of the ownership change by the applicable long-term, tax-exempt rate, and then could be subject to additional adjustments such as built in gain or built in loss, as required. Any limitation may result in expiration of all or a portion of its NOL and or tax credit carryforwards before utilization.

​

The 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act includes a provision to tax global intangible low-taxed income (GILTI) of foreign subsidiaries. As of September 30, 2021, we estimate $729,000 of GILTI income inclusion and used our net operating losses to offset our taxable income.

​

We lease our office facilities under non-cancelable operating leases that expire on various dates through fiscal year 2027. Additionally, we are the sublessor for certain office space. All of our office leases are classified as operating leases with lease expense recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Lease right-of-use assets and liabilities are recognized at the commencement date at the present value of lease payments over the lease term. As our leases do not provide an implicit rate, we use our incremental borrowing rate based on information available at the commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments.

​

Total operating lease costs were $366,000 and $440,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

​

Operating lease amounts above do not include sublease income. The Company secured a sublease agreement with a third party and recognized sublease income of $154,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020.

​

For the three ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, operating cash outflows for operating leases were $460,000 and $464,000, respectively.

​

During the three months ended September 30, 2021, the Company modified one of its existing operating leases by extending it to 2027, which resulted in an increase to operating lease right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities in the amount of $2.8 million.

6. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

​

Litigation

​

In the ordinary course of business, we are involved in various legal proceedings and claims related to alleged infringement of intellectual property rights, commercial, corporate and securities, labor and employment, wage and hour, and other claims that are not expected to have a material impact on our business or our consolidated financial statements. We have been, and may in the future be, put on notice and/or sued by third parties for alleged infringement of their proprietary rights, including patent infringement.

​

We evaluate all claims and lawsuits with respect to their potential merits, our potential defenses and counterclaims, settlement or litigation potential and the expected effect on us. Our technologies may be subject to injunction if they are found to infringe the rights of a third party. In addition, our agreements require us to indemnify our customers for third-party intellectual property infringement claims, which could increase the cost to us of an adverse ruling on such a claim.

​

Warranty

​

We generally warrant that the program portion of our software will perform substantially in accordance with certain specifications for a period up to one year from the date of delivery. Our liability for a breach of this warranty is either a return of the license fee or providing a fix, patch, work-around or replacement of the software.

​

We also provide standard warranties against and indemnification for the potential infringement of third party intellectual property rights to our customers relating to the use of our products, as well as indemnification agreements with certain officers and employees under which we may be required to indemnify such persons for liabilities arising out of their duties to us. The terms of such obligations vary. Generally, the maximum obligation is the amount permitted by law. Historically, cost related to these warranties have not been significant. However, we cannot guarantee that a warranty reserve will not become necessary in the future.

​

Indemnification

​

We have agreed to indemnify our directors and executive officers for costs associated with any fees, expenses, judgments, fines and settlement amounts incurred by any of these persons in any action or proceeding to which any of those persons is, or is threatened to be, made a party by reason of the person’s service as a director or officer, including any action by us, arising out of that person’s services as our director or officer or that person’s services provided to any other company or enterprise at our request.

Transfer Pricing

​

We have received transfer-pricing assessments from tax authorities with regard to transfer pricing issues for certain fiscal years, which we have appealed with the appropriate authority. We review the status of each significant matter and assess its potential financial exposure. We believe that such assessments are without merit and would not have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements.

​

Contractual Commitments

​

Our principal contractual commitments consist of obligations under leases for office space. Lease agreements are evaluated to determine whether an arrangement is or contains a lease in accordance with ASC 842, Leases.

​

7. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT

​

ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement (ASC 820), defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value of assets and liabilities, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market for the assets or liabilities in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Subsequent changes in fair value of these financial assets and liabilities are recognized in earnings or other comprehensive income when they occur. ASC 820 applies whenever other statements require or permit assets or liabilities to be measured at fair value.

​

ASC 820 includes a fair value hierarchy, of which the first two are considered observable and the last unobservable, that is intended to increase the consistency and comparability in fair value measurements and related disclosures. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. Observable inputs reflect assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability based on market data obtained from independent sources while unobservable inputs reflect a reporting entity’s pricing based upon their own market assumptions.

​

The fair value hierarchy consists of the following three levels:

​

Level 1 – instrument valuations are obtained from real-time quotes for transactions in active exchange markets involving identical assets.

​

Level 2 – instrument valuations are obtained from readily-available pricing sources for comparable instruments.

​

Level 3 – instrument valuations are obtained without observable market value and require a high level of judgment to determine the fair value.

​

​

Our money market funds are measured at fair value on a recurring basis based on quoted market prices in active markets and are classified as level 1 within the fair value hierarchy. As of September 30, 2021 and June 30, 2021, cash equivalents classified as level 1 instruments were measured at $54.1 million and $55.4 million, respectively.

Overview

​

eGain automates customer engagement with an innovative software as a service (SaaS) platform, powered by deep digital, artificial intelligence (AI), and knowledge capabilities. We are headquartered in the United States. We also operate in United Kingdom and India. We sell mostly to large enterprises across financial services, telecommunications, retail, government, healthcare, and utilities. With our mantra of AX + BX + CX = DX™, we guide clients to effortless digital experience (DX) by holistically optimizing agent experience (AX), business experience (BX) and customer experience (CX). One hundred fifty leading brands use eGain’s cloud software to improve customer satisfaction, empower agents, reduce service cost and boost sales.

​

We have transitioned from a hybrid model, where we sold both SaaS and perpetual license solutions, to a SaaS only business model. Today, we only sell SaaS to new clients and are actively migrating our remaining perpetual license clients to SaaS. As we continue to migrate our legacy perpetual license clients to SaaS, we expect our legacy revenue, primarily comprising annual maintenance and support fees for legacy perpetual license clients to continue to decline.

​

We believe our go-forward SaaS business model affords us recurring revenue visibility and more predictability. Fiscal year 2021 affirmed our view that SaaS clients adopt our product innovation much faster than the perpetual license model and get better service levels. We believe SaaS clients enjoy up to 50% faster time to value from their eGain investment.

​

We have operations in the US, UK, and India.

​

COVID-19

​

Since early 2020, several public health organizations have recommended, and many local governments have implemented, certain measures to slow and limit the transmission of COVID-19, including shelter-in-place and social distancing orders, which has resulted in a significant deterioration of economic conditions in the countries in which we operate.

​

The impact of COVID-19 and the related disruptions caused to the global economy and our business has not had a material adverse impact on our business. However, the spread of the COVID-19 virus caused us to modify our business practices, including implementing work-from-home policies and restricting travel by our employees, among other things.

​

In response to the outbreak of COVID-19, we have taken the following measures to date:

​

​

The effect of the COVID-19 pandemic, may not be fully reflective in our results of operations and overall financial performance until further periods, if at all. The impact, if any, of operational changes we may implement is uncertain, but changes we have implemented as of the filing date have not affected and are not expected to affect our ability to maintain operations. We will continuously monitor the situation to determine what actions may be necessary or appropriate to address the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, which may include actions mandated or recommended by federal, state or local government authorities. See our “Risk Factors” for further discussion of the possible impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on or business.
