NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)

Nature of Business and Basis of Presentation
SeaChange International, Inc. (“we” or the “Company”), a Delaware corporation, was founded on July 9, 1993. We are an industry leader in the delivery of multiscreen, advertising and premium over-the-top video management solutions. Our software products and services are designed to empower video providers to create, manage and monetize the increasingly personalized, highly engaging experiences that viewers demand.
Liquidity
We continue to realize the savings related to our restructuring activities. In fiscal 2020, we continued to streamline our operations and closed our service organizations in Ireland and the Netherlands. These measures are important steps in restoring us to profitability and positive cash flow. We believe that existing cash and investments and cash expected to be provided by future operating results are adequate to satisfy our working capital, capital expenditure requirements and other contractual obligations for at least the next 12 months.
If our expectations are incorrect, we may need to raise additional funds to fund our operations or take advantage of unanticipated strategic opportunities in order to strengthen our financial position. In the future, we may enter into other arrangements for potential investments in, or acquisitions of, complementary businesses, services or technologies, which could require us to seek additional equity or debt financing. If adequate funds are not available or are not available on acceptable terms, we may not be able to take advantage of market opportunities, to develop new products or to otherwise respond to competitive pressures.
Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic
In the first quarter of fiscal 2021, concerns related to the spread of COVID-19 began to create global business disruptions as well as disruptions in our operations and to create potential negative impacts on our revenues and other financial results. COVID-19 was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization on March 11, 2020. The extent to which COVID-19 will impact our financial condition or results of operations is currently uncertain and depends on factors including the impact on our customers, partners, and vendors and on the operation of the global markets in general. Due to our business model, the effect of COVID-19 on our results of operations may also not be fully reflected for some time.
We are currently conducting business with substantial modifications to employee travel, employee work locations, virtualization or cancellation of customer and employee events, and remote sales, implementation, and support activities, among other modifications. These decisions may delay or reduce sales and harm productivity and collaboration. We have observed other companies and governments making similar alterations to their normal business operations, and in general, the markets are experiencing a significant level of uncertainty at the current time. Virtualization of our team’s sales activities could foreclose future business opportunities, particularly as our customers limit spending, which could negatively impact the willingness of our customers to enter into or renew contracts with us. The pandemic has impacted our ability to complete certain implementations, negatively impacting our ability to recognize revenue, and could also negatively impact the payment of accounts receivable and collections. We continue to realize our on-going cost optimization efforts in response to the impact of the pandemic. We may take further actions that alter our business operations as the situation evolves. As a result, the ultimate impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the effects of the operational alterations we have made in response on our business, financial condition, liquidity, and financial results cannot be predicted at this time.
On March 27, 2020, President Trump signed into law the “Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (the “CARES) Act”). The CARES Act, among other things, includes provisions relating to refundable payroll tax credits, deferment of employer side social security payments, net operating loss carryback periods, alternative minimum tax credit refunds, modifications to the net interest deduction limitations and technical corrections to tax depreciation methods for qualified improvement property. We continue to examine the impact that the CARES Act may have on our business, including the extent of our Paycheck Protection Program (the “PPP”) loan forgiveness eligibility.
The Paycheck Protection Program
On May 5, 2020, the Company entered into a promissory note (the “Note”) with Silicon Valley Bank (the “Lender”) evidencing an unsecured loan in an aggregate principal amount of $2,412,890 pursuant to the PPP under the CARES Act administered by the U.S. Small Business Administration (“SBA”). The Note is included in our consolidated balance sheets.
Interest accrues on the Note at a fixed rate of one percent (1%) per annum, with the payment of the first six months of interest and principal deferred and is included in accrued expenses in our consolidated balance sheets. The Note has an initial term of two years, is unsecured and is guaranteed by the SBA. The Company may apply to the Lender for forgiveness of the Note, with the amount which may be forgiven equal to the sum of qualifying expenses, including payroll costs, covered rent obligations, and covered utility payments incurred by the Company during the twenty-four week period beginning on May 7, 2020, calculated in accordance with the terms of the CARES Act.
Subject to any forgiveness under the PPP, the Note will mature on May 5, 2022. Beginning on the seven-month anniversary of the date of the Note, the Company is required to make 18 monthly payments of principal and interest. The Note may be prepaid at any time prior to maturity with no prepayment penalties. The Note provides for customary events of default including, among others, those relating to breaches of the Company’s obligations under the Note, including a failure to make payments, any bankruptcy or similar proceedings involving the Company, and certain material effects on the Company’s ability to repay the Note. The Note may be accelerated upon the occurrence of an event of default.
Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard
On October 30, 2020, the Company received a deficiency letter from the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Department (the “Staff”) of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) notifying the Company that, for the 30 consecutive business days prior to such date, the closing bid price for the Company’s common stock was below the minimum $1.00 per share required for continued listing on The Nasdaq Global Select Market pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(a)(1) (the “Minimum Bid Price Requirement”). The Nasdaq deficiency letter had no immediate effect on the listing of the Company’s common stock, and the common stock will continue to trade on The Nasdaq Global Select Market under the symbol “SEAC” at this time.
In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company has 180 calendar days from the receipt of the letter, or until April 27, 2021, to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement. If at any time before April 27, 2021, the bid price of the Company’s common stock closes at $1.00 per share or more for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days, the Staff will provide written confirmation that the Company has achieved compliance.
If the Company does not regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement by April 27, 2021, the Company may be afforded a second 180 calendar day period to regain compliance. To qualify, the Company would be required to transfer to The Nasdaq Capital Market, to meet the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares and all other initial listing standards for The Nasdaq Capital Market, except for the Minimum Bid Price Requirement. In addition, the Company would be required to notify Nasdaq of its intent to cure the deficiency during the second compliance period. Following a transfer to The Nasdaq Capital Market, the Company will be afforded the second 180 calendar day period to regain compliance, unless it does not appear to Nasdaq that it is possible for the Company to cure the deficiency. If the Company does not regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement by the end of the compliance period (or the second compliance period, if applicable), the Company’s common stock will become subject to delisting. In the event that the Company receives notice that its common stock is being delisted, the Nasdaq listing rules permit the Company to appeal a delisting determination by the Staff to a hearings panel.
The Company is monitoring the closing bid price of its common stock and may, if appropriate, consider available options to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement, including initiating a reverse stock split. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement or will otherwise be in compliance with other Nasdaq Listing Rules.
Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). We consolidate the financial statements of our wholly-owned subsidiaries and all intercompany transactions and account balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been omitted pursuant to applicable rules and regulations. In the opinion of management, all adjustments of a normal recurring nature which were considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The year-end consolidated balance sheet data as of January 31, 2020 was derived from our audited consolidated financial statements and may not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended October 31, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire year. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2020, filed with the SEC on April 20, 2020.

Significant Accounting Policies
Use of Estimates
The preparation of these consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Significant estimates and assumptions reflected in these consolidated financial statements include, but are not limited to, those related to revenue recognition, allowance for doubtful accounts, goodwill and intangible assets, right-of-use operating leases, impairment of long-lived assets, accounting for income taxes, the valuation of stock-based awards, and ongoing legal matters. We base our estimates on historical experience, known trends and other market-specific or relevant factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its estimates as there are changes in circumstances, facts and experience. Changes in estimates are recorded in the period in which they become known. Actual results may differ from those estimates or assumptions.
Business Combinations
We account for acquisitions of entities that include inputs and processes and have the ability to create outputs as business combinations. We allocate the purchase price of the acquisition to the tangible assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and identifiable intangible assets acquired based on their estimated fair values. The excess of the purchase price over those fair values is recorded as goodwill. Acquisition-related expenses and restructuring costs are expensed as incurred. During the measurement period, we record adjustments to provisional amounts recorded for assets acquired and liabilities assumed with the corresponding offset to goodwill. After the measurement period, which could be up to one year after the transaction date, subsequent adjustments are recorded to the Company’s consolidated statements of operations.
Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and on deposit and highly liquid investments in money market mutual funds, government sponsored enterprise obligations, treasury bills, commercial paper and other money market securities with remaining maturities at the date of purchase of 90 days or less. All cash equivalents are carried at cost, which approximates fair value. Restricted cash represents cash that is restricted as to withdrawal or usage and consists primarily of cash held as collateral in relation to obligations set forth by the landlord of our Poland facility.
The following table provides a summary of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash that constitutes the total amounts shown in the consolidated statements of cash flows as of October 31, 2020 and 2019:
As of October 31,

Total cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash
Concentration of Credit Risk and of Significant Customers
Financial instruments which potentially expose us to concentrations of credit risk include cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash, marketable securities and accounts receivable. We have cash investment policies which, among other things, limit investments to investment-grade securities. We restrict our cash equivalents and marketable securities to repurchase agreements with major banks and U.S. government and corporate securities which are subject to minimal credit and market risk. We perform ongoing credit evaluations of our customers.
We sell our software products and services worldwide primarily to service providers consisting of operators, telecommunications companies, satellite operators and broadcasters. One customer accounted for 29% of total revenue for the three months ended October 31, 2020 and two customers accounted for 13% each of total revenue for the three months ended October 31, 2019. One customer accounted for 21% of total revenue for the nine months ended October 31, 2020 and no customer accounted for 10% or more of total revenue for the nine months ended October 31, 2019. Two customers accounted for 39% and 11% of the accounts receivable balance as of October 31, 2020. Two customers accounted for 16% and 10% of the accounts receivable balance as of January 31, 2020.

Marketable Securities
Our investments in debt securities are classified as available-for-sale and are carried at fair value, with the unrealized gains and losses, net of tax, reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss in stockholders’ equity. Realized gains and losses and declines in value determined to be other than temporary are based on the specific identification method and are included as a component of other expense, net in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.
We evaluate our investments with unrealized losses for other-than-temporary impairment. When assessing investments for other-than-temporary declines in value, we consider such factors as, among other things, how significant the decline in value is as a percentage of the original cost, how long the market value of the investment has been less than its original cost, our ability and intent to retain the investment for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value and market conditions in general. If any adjustment to fair value reflects a decline in the value of the investment that we consider to be “other than temporary,” we reduce the investment to fair value through a charge to the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss. No such adjustments were necessary during the periods presented.
Fair Value Measurements
Certain assets and liabilities are carried at fair value under U.S. GAAP. Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. Financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value are to be classified and disclosed in one of the following three levels of the fair value hierarchy, of which the first two are considered observable and the last is considered unobservable:
•
Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2—Observable inputs (other than Level 1 quoted prices), such as quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active for identical or similar assets or liabilities, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.
Level 3—Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to determining the fair value of the assets or liabilities, including pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies and similar techniques.
Our cash equivalents and marketable securities are carried at fair value determined according to the fair value hierarchy described above. The carrying values of our accounts and other receivables, unbilled receivables, accounts payable, accrued expenses, and the Note approximate their fair values due to the short-term nature of these assets and liabilities.
Goodwill and Acquired Intangible Assets
We record goodwill when consideration paid in a business acquisition exceeds the value of the net assets acquired. Our estimates of fair value are based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable at that time but that are inherently uncertain and unpredictable. Assumptions may be incomplete or inaccurate and unanticipated events or circumstances may occur, which may affect the accuracy or validity of such assumptions, estimates or actual results. Goodwill is not amortized, but rather is tested for impairment annually on August 1st of each year, or more frequently if facts and circumstances warrant a review, such as the ones mentioned in impairments of long-lived assets below. We have determined that there is a single reporting unit for the purpose of conducting this goodwill impairment assessment. We assess both the existence of potential impairment and the amount of impairment loss by comparing the fair value of the reporting unit with its carrying amount, including goodwill. The Company tested for goodwill impairment as of July 31, 2020 in consideration of the COVID-19 pandemic and determined there was no impairment. Through October 31, 2020, we have recorded accumulated goodwill impairment charges of $54.8 million.
Intangible assets are recorded at their estimated fair values at the date of acquisition. We amortize acquired intangible assets over their estimated useful lives based on the pattern of consumption of the economic benefits or, if that pattern cannot be readily determined, on a straight-line basis.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
Long-lived assets primarily consist of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets with finite lives. Long-lived assets are evaluated for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset or group of assets may not be recoverable. Recoverability of long-lived assets or groups of assets is assessed based on a comparison of the carrying amount to the estimated future undiscounted cash flows. If estimated future undiscounted net cash flows are less than the carrying amount, the asset is considered impaired and expense is recorded at an amount required to reduce the carrying amount to fair value. Determining the fair value of long-lived assets includes significant judgment by management and different judgments could yield different results.
We assess the useful lives and possible impairment of existing recognized long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances occur that indicate that it is more likely than not that an impairment has occurred. We test long-lived assets for impairment by comparing the carrying amount to the sum of the net undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. If the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its net undiscounted cash flows, then an impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds its fair value. We use a discounted cash flow approach or other methods, if appropriate, to assess fair value. Factors considered important which could trigger a review include:
significant underperformance relative to historical or projected future operating results;
significant changes in the manner of use of the acquired assets or the strategy for our overall business;
identification of other impaired assets within a reporting unit;
significant negative industry or economic trends;
a significant decline in our stock price for a sustained period; and
a decline in our market capitalization relative to net book value.
Determining whether a triggering event has occurred involves significant judgment (see Note 5).
Revenue Recognition
Our revenue is derived from sales of software licenses and associated hardware and support services, including professional services and maintenance fees related to our software licenses.
Our contracts, including contracts for our end-to-end software delivery platform solution (the “Framework”), often contain multiple performance obligations. For contracts with multiple performance obligations, we account for individual performance obligations separately if they are distinct. The transaction price is allocated to the separate performance obligations on a relative standalone selling price basis when available or expected cost plus margin or residual approach. If the transaction price contains discounts or we expect to provide future price concessions, these elements are considered when determining the transaction price prior to allocation. Variable fees within the transaction price are estimated and recognized as revenue when we satisfy our performance obligations to the extent it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur. If the contract grants the client the option to acquire additional products or services, we assess whether or not any discount on the products and services is in excess of levels normally available to similar clients and, if so, we account for that discount as an additional performance obligation.
Framework
We have concluded that the Framework has multiple performance obligations. The selling price of the Framework is highly variable as a result of our value-based engagement where pricing for our customers is based on the operating expense savings that we enable using the Framework engagement.
Framework Software Licenses
We have concluded that a Framework software license is a distinct performance obligation as the client can benefit from the software on its own. Software license revenue is included in product revenue in our consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss and is typically recognized when control is transferred to the client, which is defined as the point in time when the client can use and benefit from the license. The software license is delivered before related services are provided and is functional without services, updates, and technical support. As a result of the highly variable selling price, revenue recognition and consideration related to the Framework software license is allocated under the residual method.
Framework Hardware
We have concluded that Framework hardware, when included in a Framework contract, is a distinct performance obligation as the client can benefit from the product. Framework hardware revenue is included in product revenue in our consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss and is typically recognized when control is transferred to the customer, which is defined as the point in time when the client can use and benefit from the hardware. In situations where the hardware is distinct and it is delivered before services are provided and is functional without services, control is transferred upon delivery or acceptance by the customer.
Framework Support Services
We have concluded that Framework support services is a distinct performance obligation. Framework support services is included in services revenue in our consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. Support services includes software upgrades on a when-and-if available basis, support, bug fixes or patches and general maintenance support. Framework support services is not sold on a standalone basis. The standalone selling price is determined using a cost-plus approach, and revenue is recognized ratably over the passage of the contractual term.
Legacy Software Licenses
We have concluded that a software license is a distinct performance obligation as the client can benefit from the software on its own. Software license revenue is included in product revenue in our consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss and is typically recognized when control is transferred to the client, which is defined as the point in time when the client can use and benefit from the license. The software license is delivered before related services are provided and is functional without services, updates, and technical support.
Legacy Hardware
We have concluded that hardware is a distinct performance obligation as the client can benefit from the product on its own. Hardware revenue is included in product revenue in our consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss and is typically recognized when control is transferred to the customer, which is defined as the point in time when the client can use and benefit from the hardware. In situations where the hardware is distinct and it is delivered before services are provided and is functional without services, control is transferred upon delivery or acceptance by the customer.
Legacy Maintenance
Historically, maintenance revenue, which is included in services revenue in our consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, includes revenue from client support and related professional services. Client support includes software upgrades on a when-and-if available basis, telephone support, bug fixes or patches and general hardware maintenance support. Maintenance is priced as a percentage of the list price of the related software license and hardware. Historically, we determined the standalone selling price of maintenance based on this pricing relationship and observable data from standalone sales of maintenance.
We have identified three separate distinct performance obligations of maintenance:
Software upgrades and updates;
Technical support; and
Hardware support.
These performance obligations are distinct within the contract and, although they are not sold separately, the components are not essential to the functionality of the other components. Each of the performance obligations included in maintenance revenue is a stand ready obligation that is recognized ratably over the passage of the contractual term for products sold on a standalone basis.
Legacy Services
Historically, our services revenue, excluding maintenance revenue, is comprised of software license implementation services, engineering services, training and reimbursable expenses. We have concluded that services are distinct performance obligations, with the exception of engineering services. Engineering services may be provided on a standalone basis or bundled with a license when we are providing custom development.
The standalone selling price for services in time and materials contracts is determined by observable prices in standalone services arrangements and recognized as revenue as the services are performed based on an input measure of hours incurred to total estimated hours.
12
We estimate the standalone selling price for fixed price services based on estimated hours adjusted for historical experience at time and material rates charged in standalone services arrangements. Revenue for fixed price services is recognized over time as the services are provided based on an input measure of hours incurred to total estimated hours.
Contract Modifications
We occasionally enter into amendments to previously executed contracts that constitute contract modifications. We assess each of these contract modifications to determine:
If the additional products and services are distinct from the product and services in the original arrangement; and
If the amount of consideration expected for the added products and services reflects the standalone selling price of those products and services.
A contract modification meeting both criteria is accounted for as a separate contract. A contract modification not meeting both criteria is considered a change to the original contract and is accounted for on either a prospective basis as a termination of the existing contract and the creation of a new contract or a cumulative catch-up basis.
Significant Judgments
Our contracts with customers often include promises to transfer multiple products and services to a customer. Determining whether products and services are considered distinct performance obligations that should be accounted for separately versus together may require significant judgment. Once we determine the performance obligations, we determine the transaction price, which includes estimating the amount of variable consideration to be included in the transaction price, if any. We then allocate the transaction price to each performance obligation in the contract based on a relative standalone selling price method. The corresponding revenue is recognized as the related performance obligations are satisfied as discussed in the revenue categories above.
Judgment is required to determine the standalone selling price for each distinct performance obligation. We determine standalone selling price based on the price at which the performance obligation is sold separately. If the standalone selling price is not observable through past transactions, we estimate the standalone selling price, taking into account available information such as market conditions, and internally approved pricing guidelines related to the performance obligations. In instances where stand-alone selling price is not directly observable, such as when we do not sell the product or service separately, we determine the stand-alone selling price based on a cost-plus model as market and other observable inputs are seldom present based on the proprietary nature of our products and services.
Our contracts do not generally include a variable component to the transaction price. With certain statements of work, we explicitly state that we are to be reimbursed for reasonable travel and entertainment expenses incurred as part of the delivery of professional services. In the cases when we are entitled to collect all travel and entertainment expenses incurred, an estimate of the fulfillment costs is made at the onset of the contract in order to determine the transaction price. The revenue associated with travel and entertainment expenses is then recognized over time along with the professional services.
Some of our contracts have payment terms that differ from the timing of revenue recognition, which requires us to assess whether the transaction price for those contracts include a significant financing component. We have elected the practical expedient that permits an entity to not adjust for the effects of a significant financing component if we expect that at the contract inception, the period between when the entity transfers a promised good or service to a customer and when the customer pays for that good or service, will be one year or less. For those contracts in which the period exceeds the one-year threshold, this assessment, as well as the quantitative estimate of the financing component and its relative significance, requires judgment. We estimate the significant financing component provided to our customers with extended payment terms by determining the present value of the future payments by applying a discount rate that reflects the customer’s creditworthiness.
Contract Balances
Contract assets consist of unbilled revenue, which is recognized as work progresses in accordance with agreed-upon contractual terms, either at periodic intervals or upon achievement of contractual milestones. Unbilled receivables expected to be billed and collected within one year are classified as current assets or long-term assets if expected to be billed and collected after one year. Contract liabilities consist of deferred revenue and customer deposits that arise when amounts are billed to or collected from customers in advance of revenue recognition.
Costs to Obtain and Fulfill a Contract
We recognize an asset for the incremental costs of obtaining a contract with a customer if we expect the benefit of those costs to be longer than one year. We have determined that commissions and special incentive payments (“Spiffs”) for hardware and software maintenance and support and professional services paid under our sales incentive programs meet the requirements to be capitalized under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 340-40. Costs to obtain a contract are amortized as selling and marketing expense over the expected period of benefit in a manner that is consistent with the transfer of the related goods or services to which the asset relates. The judgments made in determining the amount of costs incurred include whether the
13
commissions are in fact incremental and would not have occurred absent the customer contract and the estimate of the amortization period. The commissions and Spiffs related to professional services are amortized over time as work is completed. The commissions and Spiffs for hardware and software maintenance are amortized over the life of the contract. These costs are periodically reviewed for impairment. We determined that no impairment of these assets existed as of October 31, 2020 or January 31, 2020. We have elected to apply the practical expedient and recognize the incremental costs of obtaining contracts as an expense when incurred if the amortization period of the assets that we otherwise would have recognized is one year or less. Total deferred capitalized commission costs were $864 thousand as of October 31, 2020 compared to $958 thousand as of January 31, 2020. Current deferred capitalized commission costs are included in prepaid expense and other current assets in our consolidated balance sheets and non-current deferred capitalized commission costs are included in other assets in our consolidated balance sheets. Capitalized commissions expensed during the nine months ended October 31, 2020 and 2019 included in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss were $275 thousand and $168 thousand, respectively.
We capitalize incremental costs incurred to fulfill our contracts that (i) relate directly to the contract, (ii) are expected to generate resources that will be used to satisfy our performance obligation under the contract, and (iii) are expected to be recovered through revenue generated under the contract. Contract fulfillment costs include direct labor for support services, software enhancements, reimbursable expenses and professional services for customized software development costs. The revenue associated with the support services, software enhancements and reimbursable expenses is recognized ratably over time; therefore, the associated costs are expensed as incurred. The professional services associated with the customized software are not recognized until completion. As such, the professional services costs are capitalized and recognized upon completion of the services.
Leases
We account for our leases in accordance with ASC 842, Leases. A contract is accounted for as a lease when we have the right to control the asset for a period of time while obtaining substantially all of the asset’s economic benefits. We determine if an arrangement is a lease or contains an embedded lease at inception. For arrangements that meet the definition of a lease, we determine the initial classification and measurement of our right-of-use operating lease asset and corresponding liability at the lease commencement date. We determine the classification and measurement of a modified lease at the date it is modified. The lease term includes only renewal options that are reasonably assured to exercise. The present value of lease payments is typically determined by using the Company’s estimated secured incremental borrowing rate for the associated lease term as interest rates implicit in the leases are not normally readily determinable. Management’s policy is to utilize the practical expedient to not record leases with an original term of twelve months or less on our consolidated balance sheets. Lease payments are recognized in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Our existing leases are for facilities and equipment. None of our leases are with related parties. In addition to rent, office leases may require us to pay additional amounts for taxes, insurance, maintenance and other expenses, which are generally referred to as non-lease components. As a practical expedient, we account for the non-lease components together with the lease components as a single lease component for all of our leases. Only the fixed costs for leases are accounted for as a single lease component and recognized as part of a right-of-use asset and liability.
Net (Loss) Income Per Share
Basic net (loss) income per share is computed by dividing net (loss) income by the weighted average number of unrestricted common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net (loss) income per share is computed by dividing net (loss) income by the sum of the weighted average number of unrestricted common shares outstanding during the period and the weighted average number of potential common shares from the assumed exercise of stock options and the vesting of shares of restricted and deferred common stock units using the “treasury stock” method when the effect is not anti-dilutive. In periods in which we report a net loss, diluted net loss per share is the same as basic net loss per share.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncement
In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326) (“ASU 2016-13”), which introduces a new methodology for accounting for credit losses on financial instruments, including available-for-sale debt securities and accounts receivable. The guidance establishes a new “expected loss model” that requires entities to estimate current expected credit losses on financial instruments by using all practical and relevant information. Any expected credit losses are to be reflected as allowances rather than reductions in the amortized cost of available-for-sale debt securities. ASU 2016-13 is effective in the first quarter of our fiscal 2024. We are currently evaluating if this guidance will have a material effect to our consolidated financial statements.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets
Goodwill represents the difference between the purchase price and the estimated fair value of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. We are required to perform impairment tests related to our goodwill annually, which we perform during the third quarter of each fiscal year or if we identify certain events or circumstances that would more likely than not reduce the estimated fair value of the goodwill below its carrying amount. The following table represents the changes in goodwill since January 31, 2020:

Commitments and Contingencies
Litigation
Certain conditions may exist as of the date the consolidated financial statements are issued which may result in a loss to the Company, but which will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. We assess such contingent liabilities, and such assessment inherently involves an exercise of judgment. In assessing loss contingencies related to legal proceedings that are pending against us, or unasserted claims that may result in such proceedings, we evaluate the perceived merits of any legal proceedings or unasserted claims, as well as the perceived merits of the amount of relief sought or expected to be sought therein.
If the assessment of a contingency indicates that it is probable that a material loss has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be estimated, then the estimated liability would be accrued in our consolidated financial statements. If our assessment indicates that a potentially material loss contingency is not probable, but is reasonably possible, or is probable but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the contingent liability and an estimate of the range of possible losses, if determinable and material, would be disclosed. Loss contingencies considered remote are generally not disclosed, unless they involve guarantees, in which case the guarantees would be disclosed.
Indemnification and Warranties
We provide indemnification, to the extent permitted by law, to our officers, directors, employees and agents for liabilities arising from certain events or occurrences while the officer, director, employee or agent is, or was, serving at our request in such capacity. With respect to acquisitions, we provide indemnification to, or assume indemnification obligations for, the current and former directors, officers and employees of the acquired companies in accordance with the acquired companies’ governing documents. As a matter of practice, we have maintained directors’ and officers’ liability insurance including coverage for directors and officers of acquired companies.
We enter into agreements in the ordinary course of business with customers, resellers, distributors, integrators and suppliers. Most of our historical agreements require us to defend and/or indemnify the other party against intellectual property infringement claims brought by a third-party with respect to our products. From time to time, we also indemnify customers and business partners for damages, losses and liabilities they may suffer or incur relating to personal injury, personal property damage, product liability, and environmental claims relating to the use of our products and services or resulting from the acts or omissions of us, our employees, authorized agents or subcontractors. From time to time, we have received requests from customers for indemnification of patent litigation claims. Management cannot reasonably estimate any potential losses, but these claims could result in material liability for us. There are no current pending legal proceedings, in the opinion of management that would have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results from operations and cash flows. There is no assurance that future legal proceedings arising from ordinary course of business or otherwise, will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results from operations or cash flows.
We warrant that our products, including software products, will substantially perform in accordance with our standard published specifications in effect at the time of delivery. In addition, we provide maintenance support to our customers and therefore allocate a portion of the product purchase price to the initial warranty period and recognize revenue on a straight-line basis over that warranty period related to both the warranty obligation and the maintenance support agreement. When we receive revenue for extended warranties beyond the standard duration, it is deferred and recognized on a straight-line basis over the contract period. Related costs are expensed as incurred.

Stock-Based Compensation Expense
Equity Plans
2011 Compensation and Incentive Plan
Our 2011 Compensation and Incentive Plan (the “2011 Plan”) provides for the grant of incentive stock options, nonqualified stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units (“RSUs”), deferred stock units (“DSUs”), performance stock units (“PSUs”) and other equity based non-stock option awards as determined by the plan administrator to our officers, employees, consultants and directors. We may satisfy awards upon the exercise of stock options or the vesting of stock units with newly issued shares or treasury shares. The Board of Directors is responsible for the administration of the 2011 Plan and determining the terms of each award, award exercise price, the number of shares for which each award is granted and the rate at which each award vests. In certain instances, the Board of Directors may elect to modify the terms of an award. The number of shares authorized for issuance under the 2011 Plan is 9,300,000. Additionally, outstanding awards under the 2005 Equity Compensation and Incentive Plan that, since adoption of the 2011 Plan, expire, terminate, or are surrendered or canceled without having been fully exercised are available for issuance under the 2011 Plan. As of October 31, 2020, there were 2,397,728 shares available for future grant.
Nonemployee members of the Board of Directors may elect to receive DSUs or stock options in lieu of RSUs. The number of units subject to the DSUs is determined as of the grant date and shall fully vest one year from the grant date. The shares underlying the DSUs are not vested and issued until the earlier of the director ceasing to be a member of the Board of Directors (provided such time is subsequent to the first day of the succeeding fiscal year) or immediately prior to a change in control.
Option awards may be granted to employees at an exercise price per share of not less than 100% of the fair market value per common share on the date of the grant. Option awards granted under the 2011 Plan generally vest over a period of one to three years and expire ten years from the date of the grant.
We have a Long-Term Incentive Program, adopted in fiscal 2016, under which the named executive officers and other of our key employees may receive long-term equity-based incentive awards, which are intended to align the interests of our named executive officers and other key employees with the long-term interests of our stockholders and to emphasize and reinforce our focus on team success. Long-term equity-based incentive compensation awards are made in the form of stock options, RSUs and PSUs subject to vesting based in part on the extent to which employment continues.
2015 Employee Stock Purchase Plan
Under our 2015 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”), six-month offering periods begin on October 1 and April 1 of each year during which eligible employees may elect to purchase shares of our common stock according to the terms of the offering. On each purchase date, eligible employees can purchase our stock at a price per share equal to 85% of the closing price of our common stock on the exercise date, but no less than par value. The maximum number of shares of our common stock authorized for sale under the ESPP is 1,150,000 shares, of which 1,075,024 remain available under the ESPP as of October 31, 2020. Under the ESPP, 5,702 and 12,453 shares were purchased during the first nine months of fiscal 2021 and fiscal 2020, respectively. The Company has suspended the ESPP as of April 1, 2020 and is still evaluating when suspension will be lifted, if at all.
Award Activity
In the first nine months of fiscal 2021, we granted 300,998 option awards, including PSU options, and 607,807 RSU awards, including DSUs and PSUs, with a combined fair value totaling $1.5 million. In the first nine months of fiscal 2021, we canceled 508,700 option awards and 148,839 RSU awards, including PSUs.

As of October 31, 2020, unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to unvested RSUs and DSUs was $1.0 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average amortization period of 1.3 years. Additionally, as of October 31, 2020, unrecognized stock-based compensation expenses related to unvested PSUs was approximately $0.2 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average amortization period of 1.3 years.

Income Taxes
Each interim period is considered an integral part of the annual period and, accordingly, we measure our income tax expense using an estimated annual effective tax rate. A company is required, at the end of each interim reporting period, to make its best estimate of the annual effective tax rate for the full fiscal year and use that rate to provide for income taxes on a current year-to-date basis, as adjusted for discrete taxable events that occur during the interim period.
We recorded an income tax provision of less than $0.1 million and an income tax benefit of $0.1 million for the three months ended October 31, 2020 and October 31, 2019, respectively. We recorded an income tax benefit of less than $0.1 million and $0.2 million for the nine months ended October 31, 2020 and October 31, 2019, respectively. The tax benefit for the nine months ended October 31, 2020 includes a $0.2 million tax benefit related to the reversal of tax reserves for uncertain tax positions due to the expiration of the Polish statute of limitations. Our effective tax rate in fiscal 2021 and in future periods may fluctuate on a quarterly basis as a result of changes in our jurisdictional forecasts where losses cannot be benefitted due to the existence of valuation allowances on our deferred tax assets, changes in actual results versus our estimates, or changes in tax laws, regulations, accounting principles or interpretations thereof.
We review all available evidence to evaluate the recovery of deferred tax assets, including the recent history of losses in all tax jurisdictions, as well as our ability to generate income in future periods. As of October 31, 2020, due to the uncertainty related to the ultimate use of certain deferred income tax assets, we have recorded a valuation allowance on certain deferred assets.
22
We file income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, various state jurisdictions and various foreign jurisdictions. We have closed out an audit with the Internal Revenue Service through fiscal 2013; however, the taxing authorities will still have the ability to review the propriety of certain tax attributes created in closed years if such tax attributes are utilized in an open tax year, such as our federal research and development credit carryovers.
On March 4, 2019, our Board of Directors approved and adopted a Tax Benefits Preservation Plan to potentially limit our ability to use net operating loss carryforwards and certain other tax attributes (“NOLs”) to reduce our potential future federal income tax obligations. In connection with the Tax Benefits Preservation Plan, we declared a dividend of one preferred share purchase right for each share of our common stock issued and outstanding as of March 15, 2019 to our stockholders of record on that date. The Tax Benefits Preservation Plan expires no later than March 4, 2022, and was approved by our stockholders at our 2019 annual meeting of stockholders on July 11, 2019.
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the CARES Act was signed into law in March 2020. The CARES Act includes several provisions that provide economic relief for individuals and businesses. Other than the acceleration of our AMT credit refund, the Company does not expect the CARES Act to result in a material impact on our income taxes.

Business Overview
SeaChange International, Inc. (“SeaChange,” the “Company,” “us,” or “we”), a Delaware corporation founded on July 9, 1993, is an industry leader in the delivery of multiscreen, advertising and premium over the top (“OTT”) video management solutions headquartered in Waltham, Massachusetts. Our software products and services facilitate the aggregation, licensing, management and distribution of video and advertising content for service providers, telecommunications companies, satellite operators and broadcasters. We sell our software products and services worldwide, primarily to service providers including: operators, such as Liberty Global, plc., Altice NV, Cox Communications, Inc. and Rogers Communications, Inc.; telecommunications companies, such as Verizon Communications, Inc., AT&T, Inc. and Frontier Communications Corporation; satellite operators such as Direct TV and Dish Network Corporation; and broadcasters.
Our software products and services are designed to empower video providers to create, manage and monetize the increasingly personalized, highly engaging experiences that viewers demand. Using our products and services, we believe customers can increase revenue by offering services such as video-on-demand (“VOD”) programming on a variety of consumer devices, including televisions, mobile telephones (“smart phones”), personal computers (“PCs”), tablets and OTT streaming players. Our solutions enable service providers to offer other interactive television services that allow subscribers to receive personalized services and interact with their video devices, thereby enhancing their viewing experience. Our products also allow our customers to insert advertising into broadcast and VOD content.
SeaChange serves an exciting global marketplace where multiscreen viewing is increasing, consumer device options are evolving rapidly, and viewing habits are shifting. The primary driver of our business is enabling the delivery of video assets in the changing multiscreen television environment. Through strategic collaborations, we have expanded our capabilities, products and services to address the delivery of content to devices other than television set-top boxes, namely PCs, tablets, smart phones and OTT streaming players. We believe that our strategy of expanding into adjacent product lines will also position us to further support and maintain our existing service provider customer base. Providing our customers with more scalable software platforms enables them to further reduce their infrastructure costs, improve reliability and expand service offerings to their customers. Additionally, we believe we are well positioned to capitalize on new customers entering the multiscreen marketplace and increasingly serve adjacent markets. Our core technologies provide a foundation for software products and services that can be deployed in next generation video delivery systems capable of increased levels of subscriber activity across multiple devices.
We have historically sold and licensed our products and services on a standalone basis. Commencing February 2019, we adopted a value-based selling approach as part of which we offer our customers the ability to license all of our product and services, including specified upgrades, for a fixed period of time for a fixed price which we refer to as Framework deals.
We initiated restructuring efforts in fiscal 2020 to improve operations and optimize our cost structure. In October 2019, we continued to streamline our operations and closed our service organizations in Ireland and the Netherlands resulting in annualized cost savings of approximately $6.0 million. We will also realize cost savings in fiscal 2021 related to the reduction in headcount driven by COVID-19.
On February 28, 2019, we entered into a Cooperation Agreement with TAR Holdings LLC and Karen Singer (together, “TAR Holdings”). As of the date of the Cooperation Agreement, TAR Holdings beneficially owned approximately 20.6% of our outstanding common stock. Pursuant to the Cooperation Agreement, we agreed to set the size of the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) at eight members, appoint Robert Pons to the Board as a Class II Director, and appoint Jeffrey Tuder to the Board as a Class III Director. Mr. Pons and Mr. Tuder were accordingly appointed to our Board upon execution of the Cooperation Agreement on February 28, 2019. On August 8, 2019, we amended the Cooperation Agreement to permit TAR Holdings, together with its affiliates, to own up to 25% of our securities.
On March 4, 2019, our Board approved and adopted a Tax Benefits Preservation Plan to deter acquisitions of our common stock that would potentially limit our ability to use net operating loss carryforwards and certain other tax attributes (“NOLs”) to reduce our potential future federal income tax obligations, which was subsequently approved by our stockholders at our 2019 annual meeting of stockholders. In connection with the Tax Benefits Preservation Plan, we declared a dividend of one preferred share purchase right for each share of our common stock issued and outstanding as of March 15, 2019 to our stockholders of record on that date. The Tax Benefits Preservation Plan expires no later than March 4, 2022. On August 8, 2019, we amended the Tax Benefits Preservation Plan to permit TAR Holdings, together with its affiliates, to own up to 25% of our securities.
In the first quarter of fiscal 2021, we experienced a ransomware attack on our information technology system. While such attack did not have a material adverse effect on our business operation, it caused a temporary disruption. We worked with data privacy counsel and third-party forensics specialists to investigate the ransomware incident. Based on our investigation, we provided notice of the incident to individuals and regulatory authorities pursuant to applicable statutes and regulations.
Results of Operations
The following discussion summarizes the key factors our management believes are necessary for an understanding of our consolidated financial statements.
Revenue and Gross Profit
The components of our total revenue and gross profit are described in the following table:

One customer accounted for 29% of total revenue for the three months ended October 31, 2020 and one customer accounted for 21% of total revenue for the nine months ended October 31, 2020. Two customers accounted for 13% each of total revenue for the three months ended October 31, 2019 and no one customer accounted for 10% or more of total revenue for the nine months ended October 31, 2019. See Part I Item I, Note 2, “Significant Accounting Policies,” to this Form 10-Q for more information.
International revenue accounted for 72% and 49% of total revenue in the three months ended October 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. International revenue accounted for 68% and 51% for the nine months ended October 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The increase in international sales as a percentage of total revenue in the three and nine months ended October 31, 2020 as compared to the three and nine months ended October 31, 2019 is primarily due to a decrease in U.S. revenue generated.
Product Revenue
Product revenue decreased by $12.5 million and $21.5 million for the three and nine months ended October 31, 2020, respectively, as compared to the three and nine months ended October 31, 2019. The decrease for the three and nine months ended October 31, 2020 was primarily due to the COVID-19 pandemic as our customers and prospective customers held off on making new technology investments and deployment decisions in favor of supporting their existing operations and infrastructure through the on-going uncertainty, resulting in lower sales.
Service Revenue
Service revenue decreased by $3.1 million and $9.5 million for the three and nine months ended October 31, 2020, respectively, as compared to the three and nine months ended October 31, 2019. The decrease for the three and nine months ended October 31, 2020 was primarily due to a decrease in our legacy professional service revenue related to our individual product sales and upgrades and a reduction to maintenance and support revenue provided on post warranty contracts as customers continue to provide their own solutions and legacy products are decommissioned.
Gross Profit and Margin
Cost of revenue consists primarily of the cost of resold third-party products and services, purchased components and subassemblies, labor and overhead relating to the assembly, testing and implementation and ongoing maintenance of complete systems.
Our gross profit margin decreased by 21% and 20% for the three and nine months ended October 31, 2020, respectively, as compared to the three and nine months ended October 31, 2019 primarily due to lower revenue generated as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Product profit margin decreased by 38% and 37% for the three and nine months ended October 31, 2020, respectively, as compared to the three and nine months ended October 31, 2019 primarily due to lower revenue generated as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Service profit margins increased by 18% and 6% for the three and nine months ended October 31, 2020, respectively, as compared to the three and nine months ended October 31, 2019 primarily due to a reduction in headcount driven by the COVID-19 pandemic while still recognizing legacy revenue.
Operating Expenses
Research and Development
Research and development expenses consist of salaries and related costs, including stock-based compensation, for personnel in software development and engineering functions as well as contract labor costs, depreciation of development and test equipment and an allocation of related facility expenses. The following table provides information regarding the change in research and development expenses during the periods presented:

Research and development expenses decreased by $1.0 million and $1.5 million for the three and nine months ended October 31, 2020, respectively, as compared to the three and nine months ended October 31, 2019 primarily due to a decrease in labor costs associated with the lower headcount resulting from the cost-savings efforts implemented as part of our restructuring program in the second half of fiscal 2020 as well as a reduction in headcount implemented in the first half of fiscal 2021 driven by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Selling and Marketing
Selling and marketing expenses consist of salaries and related costs, including stock-based compensation, for personnel engaged in selling and marketing functions, as well as commissions, travel expenses, certain promotional expenses and an allocation of related facility expenses.

associated with lower headcount from the cost-saving efforts implemented as part of our restructuring program in the second half of fiscal 2020 as well as a reduction in headcount implemented in the first half of fiscal 2021 driven by the COVID-19 pandemic and a decrease in travel and tradeshow related expenses, also driven by the COVID-19 pandemic.
General and Administrative
General and administrative expenses consist of salaries and related costs, including stock-based compensation, for personnel in executive, finance, legal, human resources, information technology and administrative functions, as well as legal and accounting services, insurance premiums and an allocation of related facilities expenses.

General and administrative expenses decreased by $0.6 million for the three months ended October 31, 2020 as compared to the three months ended October 31, 2019 primarily due to a $0.3 million reduction in salaries and compensation driven by the COVID-19 pandemic, a $0.2 million decrease in outside services, a $0.1 million decrease in bad debt expense, and reduction in other general expenditures. General and administrative expenses decreased by $4.6 million for the nine months ended October 31, 2020 as compared to the nine months ended October 31, 2019 primarily due to a $0.9 million reduction in salaries and compensation driven by the COVID-19 pandemic, a $2.2 million reduction in the use of outside services, a $0.7 million reduction to bad debt expense, and a reduction in other general expenditures.
Severance costs consist of employee-related severance charges not related to a restructuring plan. Restructuring costs consist of charges related to restructuring including employee-related severance charges, remaining lease obligations and termination costs, and the disposal of equipment.

The principal components of other expense, net were interest income, net of $0.1 million and foreign exchange loss, net of $0.7 million for the three months ended October 31, 2020 and interest income, net of $0.1 million and miscellaneous expense, net of $0.2 million for the three months ended October 31, 2019. The principal components of other income (expense), net were interest income, net of $0.4 million and foreign exchange loss, net of $0.8 million for the nine months ended October 31, 2020 and interest income, net of $0.2 million, foreign exchange loss, net of $2.1 million, and miscellaneous expense, net of $0.2 for the nine months ended October 31, 2019. Our foreign exchange gain (loss), net is primarily due to the revaluation of intercompany notes.
Income Tax Provision (Benefit)
We file income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, various state jurisdictions, and various foreign jurisdictions. We have closed out an audit with the Internal Revenue Service through fiscal 2013. We are no longer subject to U.S. federal examinations before fiscal 2015. However, the taxing authorities will still have the ability to review the propriety of certain tax attributes created in closed years if such tax attributes are utilized in an open tax year, such as our federal research and development credit carryovers.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The following table includes key line items of our consolidated statements of cash flows:
Effect of exchange rate changes on cash, cash equivalents
and restricted cash
Historically, we have financed our operations and capital expenditures primarily with our cash and investments. Our cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash and marketable securities totaled $6.2 million at October 31, 2020.
In fiscal 2020, we closed our Ireland and Netherlands service organizations in the continued streamlining of our operations resulting in annualized cost savings of approximately $6.0 million. In the first and second quarters of fiscal 2021, we reduced our headcount across all departments in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, which will result in approximately $7.6 million of annualized cost savings. Additionally, in the second quarter of fiscal 2021 we transferred our technical support services to our Poland location.
We believe that existing cash and investments and cash expected to be provided by future operating activities, augmented by the plans highlighted above, are adequate to satisfy our working capital, capital expenditure requirements and other contractual obligations for at least the next 12 months.
If our expectations are incorrect, we may need to raise additional funds to fund our operations or take advantage of unanticipated strategic opportunities in order to strengthen our financial position. In the future, we may enter into other arrangements for potential investments in, or acquisitions of, complementary businesses, services or technologies, which could require us to seek additional equity or debt financing. If adequate funds are not available or are not available on acceptable
terms, we may not be able to take advantage of market opportunities, to develop new products or to otherwise respond to competitive pressures.
On June 4, 2019, the Board authorized a share repurchase program, which expired on June 4, 2020, of up to $5.0 million of then outstanding shares of the Company. Under the share repurchase program, the Company was authorized to repurchase outstanding shares of common stock in accordance with applicable laws both on the open market, including under trading plans established pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), as amended, and in privately negotiated transactions. There was no stock repurchase activity in the third quarter of fiscal 2021.
Continued Nasdaq Listing
Net cash used in operating activities was $9.3 million for the nine months ended October 31, 2020. Net cash used in operating activities was primarily the result of our net loss of $17.4 million, a $1.1 million non-cash expense for stock-based compensation, a $1.1 million non-cash expense for depreciation and amortization, a $1.5 million non-cash foreign currency transaction loss, and changes in working capital, which include a $7.1 million decrease in accounts receivable and a $4.3 million decrease in unbilled receivables, a $0.5 million decrease in prepaid expenses and other current assets and other assets, a $1.3 million decrease in accounts payable, a $3.9 million decrease in accrued expenses and other liabilities, and a $2.4 million decrease in deferred revenue.
Net cash used in operating activities was $13.0 million for the nine months ended October 31, 2019. Net cash used in operating activities was primarily the result of our net loss of $8.9 million, a $1.4 million non-cash foreign currency transaction loss, and changes in working capital, which include a $5.6 million decrease in accounts receivable and a $11.2 million increase in unbilled receivables, a $1.1 million decrease in accounts payable and a $3.0 million decrease in deferred revenue.
Net cash provided by investing activities was $3.3 million for the nine months ended October 31, 2020 and was primarily due to the proceeds from the sales and maturities of marketable securities partially offset by purchases of property and equipment. Net cash used in investing activities was $1.6 million for the nine months ended October 31, 2019 and was primarily due to cash paid for the acquisition of Xstream A/S in February 2019 and purchases of property and equipment partially offset by the net proceeds from the sales and maturities of marketable securities.

Net cash provided by financing activities was $2.5 million for the nine months ended October 31, 2020 due to the $2.4 million in proceeds from the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) and $0.1 million from the issuance of common stock related to option exercises and purchases through the Company’s Employee Stock Purchase Plan partially offset by $0.1 million in payments to the taxing authorities in connection with shares directly withheld from employees. Net cash used in financing activities was $0.1 million for the nine months ended October 31, 2019 due to the repurchases of common stock partially offset by proceeds from the issuance of common stock.
On March 27, 2020, President Trump signed into law the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”). The CARES Act, among other things, includes provisions relating to refundable payroll tax credits, deferment of employer side social security payments, net operating loss carryback periods, alternative minimum tax credit refunds, modifications to the net interest deduction limitations and technical corrections to tax depreciation methods for qualified improvement property. We continue to examine the impact that the CARES Act may have on our business, including the extent of our PPP loan forgiveness eligibility.
On May 5, 2020, the Company entered into a promissory note (the “Note”) with Silicon Valley Bank (the “Lender”) evidencing an unsecured loan in an aggregate principal amount of $2,412,890 pursuant to the PPP under the CARES Act administered by the U.S. Small Business Administration (“SBA”).
Interest accrues on the Note at a fixed rate of one percent (1%) per annum, with the payment of the first six months of interest and principal deferred. The Note has an initial term of two years, is unsecured and is guaranteed by the SBA. The Company may apply to the Lender for forgiveness of the Note, with the amount which may be forgiven equal to the sum of qualifying expenses, including payroll costs, covered rent obligations, and covered utility payments incurred by the Company during the twenty-four week period beginning on May 7, 2020, calculated in accordance with the terms of the CARES Act.
Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Judgments and Estimates
We prepare our consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of consolidated financial statements also requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, costs and expenses and related disclosures. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ significantly from the estimates made by our management.
There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates from those disclosed in our financial statements and the related notes and other financial information included in our Form 10-K on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We did not have during the periods presented, and we do not currently have, any off-balance sheet arrangements, as defined in the rules and regulations of the SEC.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
A description of recently issued accounting pronouncements that may potentially impact our financial position and results of operations is disclosed in Note 2 to our unaudited consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
ITEM 3.
We are a smaller reporting company, as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, for this reporting period and are not required to provide the information required under this item.
ITEM 4.
Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures. We maintain “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a‑15(e) and 15d‑15(e) under the Exchange Act, that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is (1) recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and (2) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and chief financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.
Based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of October 31, 2020, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that, as of that date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
Changes in internal control over financial reporting. There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during the three months ended October 31, 2020 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting. We have not experienced any material impact to our internal controls over financial reporting despite the fact that most of our employees are working remotely due to the COVID-19 pandemic. We are continually monitoring and assessing the COVID-19 situation on our internal controls to minimize the impact on their design and operating effectiveness.
We enter into agreements in the ordinary course of business with customers, resellers, distributors, integrators and suppliers. Most of our historical agreements require us to defend and/or indemnify the other party against intellectual property infringement claims brought by a third party with respect to our products. From time to time, we also indemnify customers and business partners for damages, losses and liabilities they may suffer or incur relating to personal injury, personal property damage, product liability, and environmental claims relating to the use of our products and services or resulting from the acts or omissions of us, our employees, authorized agents or subcontractors. Management cannot reasonably estimate any potential losses, but these claims could result in material liability for us (see Note 6).
ITEM 1A.
In addition to other information set forth in this Form 10-Q, you should carefully consider the risk factors discussed in Part I, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2020, which could materially affect our business, financial conditions, and results of operations. The risks described in our Form 10-K are not the only risks that we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition or future results. There have been no material changes in our risk factors from those disclosed in the Form 10-K, except as set forth below:
Our failure to meet the continued listing requirements of the Nasdaq Global Market could result in a delisting of our common stock, which could negatively impact the market price and liquidity of our common stock and our ability to access the capital markets.
On October 30, 2020, the Company received a deficiency letter from the Staff of Nasdaq notifying the Company that, for the 30 consecutive business days prior to such date, the closing bid price for the Company’s common stock was below the minimum $1.00 per share required for continued listing on The Nasdaq Global Select Market pursuant to the Minimum Bid Price Requirement. The Nasdaq deficiency letter had no immediate effect on the listing of the Company’s common stock, and the common stock will continue to trade on The Nasdaq Global Select Market under the symbol “SEAC” at this time.
In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company has 180 calendar days from receipt of the letter, or until April 27, 2021, to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement. If at any time before April 27, 2021, the bid price of the Company’s common stock closes at $1.00 per share or more for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days, the Staff will provide written confirmation that the Company has achieved compliance.
