They include the following: the level of demand for Selectica's products and services; the intensity of competition; Selectica's ability to effectively manage product transitions and to continue to expand and improve internal infrastructure; risks associated with potential acquisitions; and adverse financial, customer and employee consequences that might result to us if litigation were to be resolved in an adverse manner to us. For a more detailed discussion of the risks relating to our business, readers should refer to 1A to Part 1 in the Form 10-K entitled "Risk Factors." Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on the forward-looking statements, including statements regarding our expectations, beliefs, intentions or strategies regarding the future, which speak only as of the date of this quarterly report. We assume no obligation to update these forward-looking statements.
Overview
We provide cloud-based software solutions that help growing companies to close deals faster, more profitably, and with lower risk.
Selectica Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM) combines a single, company-wide contract repository with a flexible workflow engine capable of supporting each organization's unique contract management processes. Our cloud-based solution streamlines contract processes, from request, authoring, negotiation, and approval through ongoing obligations management, analysis, reporting, and renewals. It helps companies take control of their contract management processes by converting from paper-based to electronic repositories and by unlocking multiple layers of critical business data, making it available for the evaluation of risk, the exposure of lost revenue, the evaluation of supplier performance, and other purposes. The solution helps to improve the customer buying experience for sales organizations, improve the control of risk and decrease time spent drafting, monitoring and managing contracts, and gain access to previously hidden discounts through the exposure and elimination of unfavorable agreements for procurement and sourcing organizations.
Selectica Guided Selling (GS) streamlines the management and dissemination of complex product information enabling companies to streamline the opportunity-to-order process for manufacturers, service providers, and financial services companies. Our Guided Selling solution can be seamlessly integrated with leading CRM systems, as well as ERP systems like Oracle and SAP, to ensure that the latest product, customer, and pricing data is always being used. This helps to simplify and automate the configuration, pricing, and quoting of complex products and services. By empowering customers, product management, marketing, sales leadership, sales operations, salespeople, and channel partners to generate error-free sales proposals for their unique requirements, we believe our cloud-based solution helps companies to close sales faster, accelerate revenue generation and enhance customer relationships.
Quarterly Financial Overview
For the three months ended June 30, 2012, our total revenues increased by 11%, or $0.4 million, to $4.2 million compared with total revenues of $3.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011. Recurring revenues, comprised of subscription license sales, maintenance revenues from previously sold perpetual licenses, and hosting revenues, totaled $2.6 million, or 63% of total revenues, representing an increase of $0.5 million, or 21%, over the three months ended June 30, 2011. Non-recurring revenues, comprised of perpetual license sales and revenues from professional services for system implementations, enhancements, and training, totaled $1.5 million, or 37% of total revenues, which was flat compared to the $1.6 million recognized during the three months ended June 30, 2011. The increase in recurring revenues year over year resulted primarily from new subscription license customers reflecting the shift in business focus and strategy to emphasize our cloud-based solutions.
During the quarter ended June 30, 2012, our net loss totaled approximately $0.7 million, which was flat compared to our net loss of $0.6 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2011.
Shift in Business Model
In response to market demand, beginning in 2012, we have shifted our primary business focus from the sale of perpetual licenses to subscription license arrangements for our cloud-based solutions. Our business and revenue model is now focused on recurring revenues. This shift could adversely affect our short-term financial results and cash flows since the financial terms of the subscription arrangements typically require smaller periodic payments over the term of the arrangement versus the larger, initial payments we have historically received under the perpetual license arrangements. However, we believe that the subscription licensing arrangements will help to increase our ability to attract new customers and improve the predictability of our revenues and cash flows by reducing our dependency on the larger, perpetual licensing arrangements. Despite the shift in our business model to focus more on subscription licensing arrangements, which has had the corresponding effect of increasing our recurring revenue, our customers have varied preferences for how they want to deploy our solutions. As such, we will continue to offer and support the traditional software license model that some of our customers still prefer.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
There have been no material changes to any of our critical accounting policies and estimates as disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2012.
Factors Affecting Operating Results
A small number of customers continue to account for a significant portion of our total revenues. We expect that our revenues will continue to depend upon a limited number of customers. If we were to lose a large customer, it would have a significant impact upon future revenues. Customers who accounted for at least 10% of total revenues were as follows:
Three Months Ended June 30, 2012 2011 Customer A 14 % 15 %
We have incurred significant losses since inception and, as of June 30, 2012, we had an accumulated deficit of approximately $262 million. We believe our success depends on the growth of our customer base as well as market growth for our CLM and GS solutions.
We believe that period-to-period comparisons of revenues and operating results are not necessarily meaningful and should not be relied upon as indications of future performance. Our operating results have historically been dependent on a few significant customer transactions which make predicting future performance difficult.

Recurring revenues. Recurring revenues consist of subscription license sales, maintenance revenues from previously sold perpetual licenses, and hosting revenues. Our recurring revenues during the three months ended June 30, 2012 increased by $0.5 million, or 21%, year over year primarily due to new subscription license customers. This is a reflection in the shift in business focus and strategy to emphasize our cloud-based solutions.
Non-recurring revenues. Non-recurring revenues are comprised of perpetual license sales and revenues from professional services for system implementations, enhancements, and training. Non-recurring revenues during the three months ended June 30, 2012 were flat compared to the three months ended June 30, 2011.
We expect non-recurring revenues to continue to fluctuate in future periods as a percentage of total revenues and in absolute dollars. This will depend on new license revenue and the number and size of new software implementations and follow-on services to our existing customers. We expect recurring revenues to fluctuate in absolute dollars and as a percentage of total revenues with respect to the number of maintenance renewals, and number and size of new subscription license contracts. In addition, maintenance renewals are extremely dependent upon economic conditions, customer satisfaction and the level of need to make changes or upgrade versions of our software by our customers. Fluctuations in revenue are also due to timing of revenue recognition, achievement of milestones, customer acceptance, changes in scope or renegotiated terms, and additional services.
Cost of revenues

Recurring cost of revenues. Recurring cost of revenues consist of costs associated with supporting our data center, a fixed allocation of our research and development costs, and salaries and related expenses of our support organization. During the three months ended June 30, 2012, recurring cost of revenues increased $0.1 million, or 30%, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2011 primarily due to an increase in license and support costs in our data center, higher compensation expenses in our support organization, and a higher allocation of R&D costs.
We expect recurring cost of revenues to increase in absolute dollars in fiscal 2013.
Non-recurring cost of revenues. Non-recurring cost of revenues is comprised mainly of salaries and related expenses of our services organization, fees paid to resellers, costs of purchased third party licenses sold to customers as part of a bundled arrangement, and certain allocated corporate expenses. During the three months ended June 30, 2012, these costs increased by approximately $0.2 million, or 18%, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2011 primarily due to the increase in the use of third-party consultants used for our system implementations.
We expect non-recurring cost of revenues to increase in absolute dollars in fiscal 2013.
Gross Profit and Margin
Three Months Ended
June 30,
2012 2011
Gross margin, recurring revenues 87 % 88 %
Gross margin, non-recurring revenues 20 % 34 %
Gross margin, total revenues 63 % 66 %
|
Gross profit was $2.6 million, or 63% of revenues, during the three months ended June 30, 2012, compared with $2.5 million, or 66% of revenues, during the three months ended June 30, 2011. This decrease in gross profit percentage resulted from higher non-recurring cost of revenues primarily due to the increase in the use of third-party consultants used for our system implementations.
Gross Margin-Gross margins represent gross profit as a percentage of revenue. Gross margins during the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 were affected by the factors discussed above under "Revenues" and "Cost of Revenues."
We expect that our overall gross margins will continue to fluctuate due to the timing of service and license revenue recognized from perpetual licenses and will continue to be adversely affected by lower margins associated with service revenues. The impact on our gross margin will depend on the mix of services we provide, whether the services are performed by our professional services employees or third party consultants, and the overall utilization rates of our professional services organization.

|
Research and development expenses consist primarily of salaries and related costs of our engineering, quality assurance, technical publication efforts and certain allocated expenses. Research and development expenses were flat during the three months ending June 30, 2012 compared to the same period in 2011.
We expect research and development expenditures to increase modestly in absolute dollars over the next year as we continue to invest in research and development in the U.S as well as in our Ukraine research and operations center.
Sales and Marketing

Percentage of total revenues 36 % 31 % 29 %
|
Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of salaries and related costs for our sales and marketing organization, sales commissions, expenses for travel and entertainment, trade shows, public relations, collateral sales materials, advertising and certain allocated expenses. For the three months ended June 30, 2012, sales and marketing expenses increased $0.3 million, or 29%, compared to the same period in 2011. The increase is primarily due to increased sales and marketing headcount, our 2012 annual Fusion conference, our recently updated website and new logo, as well as other trade show expenses.
We expect increases in sales and marketing expenses in fiscal 2013 in absolute dollars and as a percentage of total revenues.
General and Administrative

General and administrative expenses consist mainly of personnel and related costs for general corporate functions, including finance, accounting, legal, human resources, bad debt expense and certain allocated expenses. General and administrative expenses remained flat compared to the same period in 2011. We expect modest increases in general and administrative expenses in fiscal 2013 compared to fiscal 2012 in absolute dollars.
Interest and Other Income (Expense), Net
Interest and other income (expense), net consists primarily of interest earned on cash balances and short-term investments, interest expense on our note payable to Versata, foreign currency fluctuations, and other miscellaneous expenditures. During the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, interest and other income (expense), net decreased $0.1 million primarily due to the Versata note payoff, as discussed further in Note 7 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Provision for Income Taxes
During the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, we did not record an
income tax provision.

Our primary sources of liquidity consisted of approximately $13.6 million in cash and cash equivalents as of June 30, 2012, $6.0 million of which was received from our short-term credit facility. This compares to approximately $16.1 million in cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments as of March 31, 2012, $6.0 million of which was received from our short-term credit facility.
Net cash used in operating activities was $2.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012, resulting primarily from our year-to-date net loss of $0.7 million, a $1.1 million increase in accounts receivable, net, and a $1.2 million decrease in accrued payroll and related liabilities. These decreases were partially offset by a $0.5 million increase in accounts payable.
Net cash provided by operating activities was not significant for the three months ended June 30, 2011.
Net cash provided by investing activities was $0.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012, resulting primarily from proceeds from maturities of short-term investments partially offset by capital asset purchases.
Net cash used in investing activities was not significant for the three months ended June 30, 2011.
As a result of current adverse financial market conditions, investments in some financial instruments may pose risks arising from liquidity and credit concerns. Although we believe our current investment portfolio has very little risk of impairment, we cannot predict future market conditions or market liquidity and can provide no assurance that our investment portfolio will remain unimpaired.
Net cash used in financing activities was not significant for the three months ended June 30, 2012.
Net cash used in financing activities was $0.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011, resulting from our $0.2 million payment on our note payable to Versata.
We expect to incur significant operating costs for the foreseeable future. We expect to fund our operating costs, as well as our future capital expenditures and liquidity needs, from a combination of available cash balances, internally generated funds, and our short-term credit facility. We have no outside debt other than our short-term credit facility, and do not have any plans to enter into any additional borrowing arrangements. As a result, our net cash flows will depend heavily on the level of future sales, changes in deferred revenues, and our ability to manage costs.
We believe our cash and cash equivalents balances as of June 30, 2012 are adequate to fund our operations through at least June 30, 2013. However, given the significant changes in our business and results of operations in the last 12 months, the fluctuation in cash and investment balances may be greater than presently anticipated. After the next 12 months, we may find it necessary to obtain additional funds. In the event additional funds are required, we may not be able to obtain additional financing on favorable terms or at all.
Contractual Obligations
We had no significant commitments for capital expenditures as of June 30, 2012.
We do not anticipate any significant capital expenditures, payments due on long-term obligations, or other contractual obligations other than the repayment of our credit facility balance and the $0.5 million payable to Versata in September 2012 in connection with agreed upon consulting services. However, management is continuing to review our cost structure to minimize expenses and use of cash as we implement our planned business model changes. This activity may result in additional restructuring charges or severance and other benefits.
Our contractual obligations and commercial commitments at June 30, 2012, are summarized as follows:
Payments Due By Period
Less Than 1-3 4-5 After 5
Contractual Obligations: Total 1 Year Years Years Years
