Biggest changeIf we do not meet our forecasts or analysts’ forecasts for us, the price of our common stock may decline. Entry into new lines of business, and our offering of new products and services may result in exposure to new risks. Adverse economic conditions or reduced spending on information technology solutions may adversely impact our revenue and profitability. We may need to raise additional capital to fund continuing operations and an inability to raise the necessary capital or the inability to do so on acceptable terms could threaten the success of our business. We expect to incur additional expenses related to the integration of ID R&D, Inc. and HooYu Ltd. We may be unable to successfully integrate our business with the respective businesses of ID R&D and HooYu or future acquisitions and realize the anticipated benefits of the acquisitions. Our actual financial and operating results following the acquisitions of ID R&D and HooYu could differ materially from any expectations or guidance provided by us concerning our future financial and operating results. Our annual and quarterly results have fluctuated greatly in the past and will likely continue to do so, which may cause substantial fluctuations in our common stock price. Due to our operations in non-U.S. markets, we are subject to certain risks that could adversely affect our business, results of operations or financial condition. Our international operations may increase our exposure to potential liability under anti-corruption, trade protection, tax, and other laws and regulations. Fluctuations in foreign currency exchange and interest rates could adversely affect our results of operations. An “ownership change” could limit our ability to utilize our net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards, which could result in our payment of income taxes earlier than if we were able to fully utilize our net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Our cash and cash equivalents could be adversely affected if the financial institutions at which we hold our cash and cash equivalents fail. 7 Our business could be adversely affected in the event we default under our debt agreements. Our revenues are dependent on our ability to maintain and expand existing customer relationships and our ability to attract new customers. The loss of one or more of our key customers could slow our revenue growth or cause our revenues to decline.

An “ownership change” could limit our ability to utilize our net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards, which could result in our payment of income taxes earlier than if we were able to fully utilize our net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Our cash and cash equivalents could be adversely affected if the financial institutions at which we hold our cash and cash equivalents fail. Our business could be adversely affected in the event we default under our debt agreements. 6 Our revenues are dependent on our ability to maintain and expand existing customer relationships and our ability to attract new customers. The loss of one or more of our key customers could slow our revenue growth or cause our revenues to decline. We may incur goodwill and intangible asset impairment charges that adversely affect our operating results.
If our common stock is delisted from Nasdaq, our business, financial condition, results of operations and share price could be adversely affected, and the liquidity of our common stock could be impaired.

If these technologies and the related products do not achieve or continue to achieve market acceptance, our business, financial condition, and results of operations would be adversely affected. We cannot predict the impact that the decline of the use of checks, changes in consumer behavior facilitated by advances in technologies, and the development of check alternatives, or the plateau of the penetration of active mobile banking users may have on our business. Claims that our products infringe upon the rights, or have otherwise utilized proprietary information, of third parties may give rise to costly litigation against us or our customers who we may be obligated to indemnify, and we could be prevented from selling those products, required to pay damages, and obligated to defend against litigation or indemnify our customers. If the patents we own or license, or our other intellectual property rights, do not adequately protect our technologies, brands or other intellectual property, we may lose market share to our competitors and be unable to operate our business profitably. We face competition from several companies that may have greater resources than we do, which could result in price reductions, reduced margins, or loss of market share. We must continue to engage in extensive research and development in order to remain competitive. Defects or malfunctions in our products could hurt our reputation, sales and profitability. Our lengthy sales cycles and the difficulty in predicting timing of sales or delays may impair our operating results. Our historical order flow patterns, which we expect to continue, have caused forecasting difficulties for us.

The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. We will continue to assess the need for a valuation allowance on the deferred tax asset by evaluating both positive and negative evidence that may exist.
In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible.
The increase was partially offset by a favorable outcome in a lawsuit we filed against Instacart that was settled and collected in 2023. 27 Income Tax Benefit (Provision) The income tax benefit for 2024 was $4.2 million which yielded an effective tax rate of 461% compared to an income tax provision of $2.3 million which yielded an effective tax rate of 22% in 2023.
Income Tax Benefit (Provision) The income tax provision for 2025 was $2.8 million which yielded an effective tax rate of 24% compared to an income tax benefit of $4.2 million which yielded an effective tax rate of 461% in 2024. The income tax benefit for 2024 is primarily due to our negative pre-tax book income for the year.
The increase in cash provided by operating activities during fiscal 2023 compared to fiscal 2022 was primarily due to an increase in cash from collection of receivables of $23.8 million year over year due to improvements in our collections process, and an increase in other liabilities of $1.7 million.
The increase in cash provided by operating activities during fiscal 2025 compared to fiscal 2024 of $23.7 million was primarily due to an increase in net income and the related increase in income taxes payable due to the timing of income tax payments in fiscal 2025, an increase in stock-based compensation expense, and an increase in deferred revenue.

Software license and hardware revenue decreased $7.8 million, or 10%, to $74.1 million in 2025 compared to $81.9 million in 2024.
