  • Carr Bettis:
    Thank you, Operator. Welcome, everyone, and thank you for joining us today. We had a lot of positive things going on and we're excited to share with you and I'm going jump into it.After the market close, we issued a press release announcing our results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2019. A copy of the press release is available in the investor section of our website at audioeye.com.I'll begin today as we always do with a brief overview of our business. After that I'll provide some higher level updates since our last call, before discussing our financial results from the second quarter. From there our CEO Todd Bankofier will come on the line to give some more specific updates within our key operating segments. And finally, we'll have a brief introduction from our new CFO Sach Barot, before turning it over to questions.Now about us. AudioEye is a leading provider of SaaS-based digital content accessibility solution. We are in the business of making websites and other digital content accessible for all individuals, especially those individuals with disabilities. We pride ourselves in addressing a large range of accessibility issues that impact many people.With the AudioEye Ally platform, we do more than identify issues with web properties. We strive to fix, maintain and continuously monitor them. We also certify websites to demonstrate compliance with both the American with Disabilities Act or ADA and the latest Web Content Accessibility Guidelines.Because many of the remediation capabilities we provide are automated, our customers can more quickly gain compliance with accessibility standards, regulations and laws. Coupled with manual testing and remediation by Subject Matter Experts, we provide our clients with the best solution to make their websites and digital content more accessible and keep their content more accessible through continuous monitoring and remediation.Furthermore, for our private sector clients, we also give them the opportunity to get an ROI from their investment and commitment to the enormous population of individuals with disabilities.I like to move on to our business update. Operationally in our direct sales channel, we continue to bring in new customers from some of the largest companies in the world. On the indirect side, where we sell our product via content management system providers, our provider partnership hosts businesses, government for educations lies on a common platform. We have further expanded our reach within those existing channel partners and are in active discussions with many other indirect channel partner prospects who are interested in providing digital accessibility solution to their collective thousands of website customers.Todd will talk about both these channels in just a minute. But I just want to say that we are learning more and getting smarter about how we partner and the way we spend our time with these partners to maximize their success on our platform and generate the greatest long-term midterm for AudioEye.We’re also experiencing continued growth and interest in some of our newer offerings, more specifically our recently launched PDF remediation business continues to show great promise, and in the second quarter already started generating additional revenue. This will continue in the second half of the year.For the skill developing kiosk business, we think our technology is especially well-suited for this application. We are exploring opportunities with a number of well-known enterprises who have shown interest and charge in this new frontier. I don’t want to say some of the funds retired as it relates to sales et cetera, when I saw myself here and move on to some brief updates got the digital accessibility landscape.As many of you know, we have been focused on for the past few quarters on increasing AudioEye's mindshare within the broader digital accessibility landscape, as well as bringing more awareness to our industry as a whole. We are aware that there are increasing number of competitors entering this exciting market, which validates the opportunity itself and we are continuing to differentiate ourselves and stay ahead.We’re driving the conversation on awareness and have been working with key influencers the media and legislators. We have been on CBS radio in New York in PR [ph], New York TV 1 CNET [ph] and many others. As some of you are aware Tony Coelho was one of the original authors and the former main sponsor of the ADA is a director on the AudioEye board, which is something we're quite proud off. In recognition of ADA anniversary, Tony wrote an op-ed that was featured in the morning consult to very well respected and widely read publication in Capitol Hill.In short, we will continue to push awareness with national and key regional media and we do want more coverage. It is our opinion that positive coverage will collectively further highlight the importance of this issue and to continue elevating our company's exposure and to differentiate our brand.If marketing we continue to invest in our ad campaigns trade shows and other lead generation activities, we will continue to spend on brand awareness and lead generation, but I do want to emphasize that we will and we are continually evaluating our ROI from every lead generation source.Regarding the business results. As I said many times in the past and as we see it now, we believe AudioEye is in a truly unique position as a company. We are the gold standard, technology leader in the nation market that we believe will expand tremendously in the coming years.What that means for us, is that we have been presented with a special opportunity, one that requires bold and decisive action. The board regularly evaluate how hard to put the pedal down, that is how much capital to invest now for the future. We do this based on market dynamics and our confidence in delivering in ROI.For the past three months we have spent considerable time with consultants and new advisors, refining our strategy for growth and our ultimate goal of retaining and expanding on our market leadership position. Having our CFO Sach on board, by the way, it's also been significant as we implement cost-effective scaling and infrastructure changes to meet long-term growth goal.I will tell that we have a really exciting plan. Some part of that plan is while doing what we do now and doing it more cost-effectively. For example, the plan includes accelerated adoption and investment in cutting-edge machine learning in AI tool. However, I should point out there are some parts of the plan that we can talk about right now simply because we don't want to lay out our plans with the competitors. But you will see these plans start to unfold in 2020.Philosophically, I want to be clear that we will make short-term tradeoff for longer-term gains and sustainable revenue, market penetration, gross margin and ROI, which are the company's growth goals. Consistent with this, our focus continues to remain on bookings knowing revenue will take care of itself and that cash timing can vary depending on contract structure. However every decision is being made, keeping in mind the expected ROI for investors and the future health of the business.Regarding bookings and revenue, we clearly had a very strong second quarter. It was by far our largest booking quarter ever at $7.3 million was also our 14th straight quarter of revenue growth. In percentage terms, bookings are up 140% and revenue up 97% compared to the second quarter of 2018.Bookings totaled $10.7 million and revenue $4.4 million through June 30 2019. At the end of Q2 deferred revenue was $3.2 million growing by 87% over last year, and a non-GAAP number bookings, contracts and excessive revenue and deferred revenue also grew to $13.7 million of a 152% compared to a year ago.As you may have seen in the press release we issued this afternoon, we've modified our expected ranges for both bookings and revenue guidance. We're pleased with our second quarter results. Our confidence level for our bookings guidance for the year continues to be strong and has improved. As a result, we are increasing our bookings guidance to $22 million to $24 million.As explained in our Q1 call, our partner implementations and ramp-up were slower than expected. The trend improved in Q2 was still slower than we would have liked. With that said, we continue to work with our partners, we also acknowledge that we don't fully control the speed of the program implementation through our partners and are adjusting our revenue guidance for the year to $10 million to $11 million.As I said previously on calls, given a choice, we would rather have higher bookings and delayed revenue at this stage than higher revenues and not have the bookings. As already mentioned, bookings in excess of revenue and deferred revenue was $13.7 million at June 30, which is a result of longer term commitments from our customers and partners that creates more predictability in our revenue streams overtime.It is also worth noting, in the case of some of these indirect channel partners, the bookings represent minimums from them. Also, given that we've already done the legwork of making an existing channel partner platform accessible, the marginal cost for us to add customers on the platform are very, very low, which works well with longer term contracts.For context, our exit MRR rate at year end will be much higher than at the end of Q2, even though we have adjusted revenue guidance for this year. To be clear, we have very high growth expectations for next year. But even with no growth in bookings our revenue will be up approximately 130% [Later changed by the Company to 30%] next year. Again, we're expecting very strong growth next year but this illustration just captures the effect of the backlog on our SaaS business model.We've also spoken previously about our expectations for bookings in the upcoming two quarters. Q3 has traditionally been a slow quarter, which seems to be driven by a slowdown in the summer months that is common to many SaaS companies. We expect it to be one of our best quarters ever, but slower than the second. On the other hand, as also previously stated that we believe the fourth quarter this year will be very strong. We still believe that to be true.We continue to have very strong renewals and we expect strong renewals to continue. This also gives us confidence in the long-term health of our business as we continue to grow bookings. Our commitment is to be transparent and open with our shareholder and to give you the best information we have when we have it.As I said previously, we will make short term trade-offs and also investments for longer term gains in sustainable revenue market penetration, gross margin and ROI. We have already started making short term investments for long-term benefit in scale. The areas in which we have been and plan on continuing to invest financial resources they include advisors and consultants, financial infrastructure improvement, on-boarding additional personnel and increased PR and marketing efforts.We will not only make investments in infrastructure, brand awareness and lead generation, we are also making improvements in our technology. Over the next six months, we expect to make further technology enhancements, not only benefiting end users and customers, but also will lead to lower marginal cost of delivery and strengthen our patent portfolio and key issues -- key areas.In the second quarter, we began layering in consulting and advisory cost and some infrastructure cost. We believe these costs were important as they have helped us significantly as we plan to cost effectively scale the business in 2020 and beyond. We did also -- we did however, also have some higher than expected operating costs, number one-time, we've also identified areas we can adjust that we believe will lead to reducing costs.This brings me to the question of cash. Company is very pleased to announce that we have secured and have access to a total of approximately $4 million in capital received from certain investors in our company. We appreciate the support of our shareholders, who continue to show confidence in our plan. We believe our growth is cost effective and less diluted to our current shareholders and other options.As we announced in the 8-K filed today, we negotiated an early warrant exercise program with certain existing investors at a 35% discount through exercise price. This has resulted in the company receiving approximately $2 million in cash. Additionally, the company has also negotiated an unsecured line of credit for up to $2 million, is a 10% interest on capital drawn as needed. We also issued a one year warrant at 9% premium to yesterday's closed price. The value of this grant is 11% of the line of credit amount is fully drawn.We believe that this combination alleviates concerns about our cash needs. We are still refining our long-term growth plan and the capital needed to achieve those goals. But I want to remind you, we clearly are accepting cash from existing contracts where we have bookings, but not yet cash and also cash from renewals and new contracts. The nature and timing of the cash in these contracts is one of several factors that will influence cash needs in the longer term, along with our need for investment in the short and medium term to fuel growth in 2020 and beyond.By now read through the financial results of the second quarter ended June 30, 2019. I may go a little quicker, some of it will be redundant based on discussions we've already had.In Q2, we generated revenue of $2.4 million reflecting a 97% increase over the same time period last year -- over prior year. The increase in revenue was primarily due to continued execution in the direct channel increased growth in the indirect channel and additional contracts awarded through our PDF remediation business.At June 30, 2019, our monthly recurring revenue totaled $774,000, which was a 13% increase from $686,000 March 31, 2019. Bookings, which is the contracted amount of money to customers committed to spend with us over an agreed amount of time. Some of them could be multiyear deals for the quarter totaled $7.3 million, which was an increase of 140% from $3 million in the same period last. This year-over-year increase in booking was primarily due to the execution in contract closings in the direct channel and expanding contracts with indirect channel partners during the period that will deliver minimum revenue to us.Next, gross profit in Q2 2019 was $1.3 million, 52.9% of total revenue, which was a 110% increase from $612,000 to 49.6% of revenue in the prior year period. The increase in gross profit was primarily due to increase sales volume and an increase in revenue renewal rate longer contract terms. Advances in the company's technology also led to certain efficiencies in the delivery of service.Total operating expenses in the second quarter were $3.3 million which was an increase of 3% from $3.2 million in Q1 and increase of 94% from $1.7 million in the same year ago period. The increase in total operating expenses was primarily due to continued investment in our growth through technology enhancements, consulting legal and compliance costs, as well as recruiting, marketing and other key personnel costs.Net loss available to common shareholders, stockholders for the second quarter of 2019, totaled $2 million or negative $0.27 per share. This compared to a net loss of $1.1 million or negative $0.17 per share in the second quarter of last year. The year-over-year increase in net loss is primarily due to increased expenses in a number of key areas, as we continue to position our company for its multi-year growth plan.We ended the quarter with $2.8 million in cash, compared to $5.7 million at December 31, 2019.With that I’ll wrap up with the financial details. I'm going to turn the call over to CEO, Todd Bankofier. Todd?
  • Todd Bankofier:
    Thank you, Carr. And you just heard, the second quarter was another big step forward for us here at AudioEye, in both revenue and bookings.We ended Q2 with over 1,400 total customers using our Ally Managed Service offering. Having signed on over 300 new accounts in the second quarter alone. Thanks to the PR and marketing efforts, which Carr also highlighted, we've seen a much greater awareness of our company and our solutions in the marketplace. We combined with our improved lead generation initiatives. We're now talking to even more customers and have the biggest pipeline in our company's history.As the awareness of the issue of digital accessibility becomes more widespread, the legal actions against non-compliant organizations continues to rise, and our standing as a leader in the industry growth. I feel confident in the continued growth of our pipeline and an increase in our sales conversions going forward. This confidence and strength of our pipeline, as stated is now reflected in the higher guidance range of $22 million to $24 million for 2019.So moving to our 3 sources of customer success, which are the direct sales, the indirect channel partnership sales, and customer retention.First, direct sales. During the second quarter, we continue to drive new sales of our Ally Managed Service offering to major organizations serving a number of different industries. As the most mature of our go-to-market strategy, our direct channel provides us with a large base of consistent and reliable revenue. At the same time, we're constantly looking at ways we can improve our processes to get in front of more potential customers, through additional marketing strategies that nurture and effectuate new meetings with companies and targeted industries, and various sized categories.As I just mentioned, we've seen tremendous improvement in our ability to generate quality leads because of our online marketing efforts. As a result of our efforts, we see significant improvement in our organic search, and the number of overall leads generated quarter-over-quarter.Next is our indirect channel partnership sales. One of the most meaningful sales related news from the quarter was, our recently announced expansion of our relationship with Dealer.com, a Cox automotive brand, to a premier partnership. When AudioEye agree to a premier partnership, it means we're getting a commitment to a certain volume of clients over time. As well as get an additional marketing resources and an assurance of the digital accessibility as a priority for them at the sea level and below within the company.Carr will spent a fair amount of time discussing the changing dynamics between our bookings and revenue. So I won't rehash that here. So we want to make sure it's understood how this approach is going to influence our financial results on an ongoing basis.As I just mentioned, we believe securing minimum commitments when we can is a proven way to manage the long-term relationships of our partners. In the future, we expect this structure to become a more common feature of all of our partnerships. Our two most recent indirect signings Edlio and Mopro are showing early initial traction, and our prime examples of why we're spending so much time and effort, making sure we're signing up the correct partners, and structuring our contracts to encourage adoption and growth on our platform.However, we are constantly evaluating opportunities with more indirect channel partners, including many with whom we're still currently in serious discussions.And on a quick note on customer retention, something we're very proud of. As we mentioned many times before, we continue to have exceedingly high renewal rates. From a logo renewal perspective, we're still seeing customer retention rates in the mid-90s, which we do not expect to change anytime soon.And with that, now, it's a pleasure to turn over our call to our new CFO Sach Barot.
  • Sach Barot:
    Thank you, Todd. I'm very excited to be with all of you today. On my first call, as AudioEye's new CFO.My remarks today will be brief, but I wanted to take a minute to introduce myself and let you know a little bit more about me. One of the most common question I have been asked since joining AudioEye, is what brought me here. My answer on my first day, and now, has remained unchanged. I chose to come here for the following reasons.First, the WebEx facility market. This is a nascent industry, and it has a lot of runway ahead of it. So much so that the total addressable market size is still being debated. I think the industry growth opportunities are boundless. And it's this opportunity for growth that originally attracted me to the company.In that context, when I think about AudioEye I realized that we are uniquely positioned to take advantage of this enormous potential that's in front of us. On the back of our unique offering, AudioEye has a tremendous opportunity to become the undisputed market leader in this space. I wanted to be a part of building that leadership position and help the company grow.And finally, I believe the company's got a mission to be tremendously valuable. We are here to help people who have been left behind in today's web driven information age. And when I see that commitment from our employees, and helping to make that goal real, energizes me even more.In the short amount of time, that I've been here, I haven't seen anything to change my mind on any of this point. I'm personally excited to be part of the company that's rapidly growing and is on its way towards a long-term success.As Carr mentioned earlier, we are planning on methodically running this company with a focus on growth into 2020 and beyond. Furthermore, we have full commitment from our board to make sure that every major financial and operational decision is made with long-term objectives in mind.Going forward, as I continue to get my feet underneath me, I'm focused on building a very strong foundation for the company to grow in the long-term. We want to put in place a scalable infrastructure. We have already designed a new financial system, and infrastructure that will help us over the next few months to become more efficient and consistent in our internal analytics, reporting and forecasting, it will also help us enhance our internal controls. We are actively working on improving our sales processes, and operations management. This will ensure we have a rigorous and disciplined process for further visibility from starting this opportunity to cash.We are playing the long game here. And we are deliberately building the right base for the company. That will require investments in systems and infrastructure, hiring talent in various parts of the organization that will support the growth, and also help us stay ahead of our competition. We will achieve this through continuous innovation and new go-to-market strategies.As you can see, there's a lot to do here at AudioEye over the next few quarters. We want to achieve these goals to remain the leader in providing web accessibility solutions. We are very excited to take that challenge head on and deliver.Going forward, I'm planning on taking an increased road in our earnings call and look forward to eventually taking more of your questions on operations and finance. But for today, I will hand it back over to the operator to begin the Q&A session with Todd and Carr. Operator, please provide the appropriate instruction.
  • Operator:
    Thank you. We are now by conduction a question-and-answer session. [Operator instructions] Our first question today is coming from Zach Cummins from B. Riley FBR. Your line is now live.
  • Zachary Cummins:
    Hi, good afternoon Carr, Todd and welcome on board Sach to the first earnings call with AudioEye.
  • Sach Barot:
    Thanks, Zach.
  • Zachary Cummins:
    So just starting off with the bookings number, really impressive number here in Q2. Were there any outsized deals or I think you mentioned one multiyear or maybe a handful of multiyear contracts that drove the strength of bookings in this quarter?
  • Todd Bankofier:
    I will say this, we would have had a very strong record quarter without the biggest [indiscernible]. So we still had a very, very strong color -- quarter. The Dealer.com deal was important and material, for sure. But again, we would have a better record quarter regardless.
  • Zachary Cummins:
    Understood that's helpful. And then in terms of the indirect partner channel, I mean, it sounds like especially through the first few calls, it's been a matter of projects just not progressing as fastly or as quickly as you would like versus prior expectations. So, can you talk about kind of some of the actions that you're taking to better monitor the progress within these indirect partner implementations and maybe even your approach to getting minimum business guarantees with more of your partners going forward?
  • Todd Bankofier:
    Yes, Zach, this is Todd. You, obviously understand the significance of the indirect channel partner in the sort of predictability capability days, when you have partners involved in the selling process. We have four to five that process tremendously over the last quarter, and we see some better cadence on a number of fronts with our partners.Obviously helping them with their marketing efforts, as well as the day-to-day sort of work that the indirect channel team does here at AudioEye, with each one of our partners, we've seen significant value in that. Are they all have the same value or the same pace that we'd like them to, not quite yet. But we're much better off quarter-over-quarter than we were last year when we started this channel.
  • Zachary Cummins:
    Understood. And then I guess, in terms of expenses during the quarter, it was mentioned there were some onetime expenses related to legal and some consulting stuff. Is there any way you can quantify the amount that you would consider to be non-recurring. And should we be expecting some more consulting sort of expenses as we go into Q3 and Q4 of this year?
  • Todd Bankofier:
    Yes, I think you'll see some consulting expenses continue. Zach, but I will say, we have identified, there are some, I would say legal costs, again, were higher than we would like for them to be and we think that is we've got an increasing strategies to manage that going forward. We had a lot of regulatory other issues that showed up, compliance issues that showed up and also we of course, I've been talking to the marketplace about alternatives recently.So, I think I think there are some one times here, I think we had one-time state tax issues in Arizona as an example, because we're one time, not issues, I think it was just a true up state taxes. So, some things like that, I think, work attributing to the one-time, but yes, we are going to have the spirit of this is we're going to make sure that we are scaled appropriately for the growth that we're anticipating which we're very excited about looking at 2020 and beyond. And the strategies we have, we need to make sure we're correctly positioned to do those. That includes using consultants and advisors.So we expect to implement the scalable infrastructure and systems and to fuel the growth, we are going to curtail some of the costs like legal, illicit, and ensure their marketing spend as efficient.
  • Zachary Cummins:
    Understood. And to my last question its more around, you had a couple of actions in August that have helped address the cash balance on the balance sheet. I mean, in terms of the line of credit that was secured? I don’t know if you can comment on this, but have you already drawn down on that line this month? And I guess it's probably harder to determine kind of longer term capital needs for what do you need to effectively scale this business?
  • Todd Bankofier:
    So look, from the short term, Zack want to be a little bit of a long winded answer. The first thing is we've absolutely not drawn down on facility. So for the short term, we know that investors were concerned about cash, right. And we mentioned before, we continue to evaluate our cash needs as we want to deploy it to a medium and long-term growth goals in mind. We want to do it efficiently for shareholders with the least amount of to the best option.So I want to reiterate a philosophy to you again, we're going to look at long-term growth as we're working on a 2020 and by on growth plan, we've got exciting things in mind here that we've learned from the market that we're excited about. That effort will take some time. As we develop the plan, we want to raise capital to help us continue to focus on delivering the 2019 bookings to build our infrastructure, we want to start implementing the scalable process to build our platform for the longer term objectives.So the capital raised is going to ensure that we have that capability. So the details were the unexercised warrant and then the unsecured line of credit. So that unsecured line of credit is just there. For us if we want to use it and need it. It gives us the comfort to be able to meet our objectives here.
  • Zachary Cummins:
    Understand that's helpful. Well, congrats on the really strong bookings number and best of luck, as you go into the second half of this year.
  • Todd Bankofier:
    Thanks, Zach.
  • Sach Barot:
    Thanks a lot, Zach.
  • Operator:
    [Operator Instructions] Our next question today is coming from Elliot Brzezinski [ph] from National Security. Your line is now live?
  • Unidentified Analyst:
    Thanks. Todd, couple of housekeeping questions. Gross margin line took down a little bit sequentially, while the revenues picked-up, I thought there would be kind of scaled to it. And we'd be going in the other direction, kind of what's going on there. And how do you see gross margins going forward second half?
  • Sach Barot:
    Yes, so look, it is a mix of the contracts and direct and indirect and how we deliver in the timing of the cost involved in, so we've got if you notice, in our bookings system, we mentioned we have some longer term contracts with minimum guarantees. So there's more investment upfront to get the long-term benefit and the marginal cost of delivery as we goes down. As we're ramping, there's going to be a balance here all the time. So, we still think we're in pretty good shape.And Elliot the best way I think about it is you should look at that number on a more longer term basis sequentially, it may go up and down, but if you look at year-over-year, we have made improvements. And in the long-term, we'll continue to making improvements on that plan.
  • Unidentified Analyst:
    Where do you think it's sort of tops out?
  • Sach Barot:
    I'm not -- I can't answer the question because we had not model there out but clearly for our SaaS business. It has lot of room to grow, and we want to grow -- and we want to scale positively. So we expect it to continue to go up over the next year or two.
  • Unidentified Analyst:
    Okay. And then on the housekeeping side, stock based comp in the quarter, what was that, and any depreciation amortization?
  • Sach Barot:
    Give me a second. Sorry, don’t have on my fingertips, I’m looking.
  • Todd Bankofier:
    We will come back to that Elliot, in a second.
  • Unidentified Analyst:
    Okay. That's it for me.
  • Todd Bankofier:
    Do you have a question, Elliot, we’ll come back to it.
  • Unidentified Analyst:
    No, that’s it -- yeah that’s it for me. Thank you.
  • Operator:
    Thank you. Our next question today is coming Mark Heckman [ph] of Heck Investments. Your line is now live.
  • Todd Bankofier:
    Hey, Mark.
  • Mark Heckman:
    Hi, how are you, thanks for. It's great that your revenues continuing to increase and all that. I like that. I’ve notice you haven't published your 10-Q, but when you think you will have that?
  • Todd Bankofier:
    It's across actually it should be out there.
  • Mark Heckman:
    Okay and what was the cash flow operating -- cash flow from operations? Whether I guess it's for the six months, but what’s that look like, trying to get a sense of what your cash burn is for the quarter?
  • Sach Barot:
    Yeah, the cash burn was about 1.3 million last quarter and that’s little lower than what we had in Q1 also timing of collections as well. We expect to have similar cash burn over the next couple of quarters.
  • Mark Heckman:
    Okay, so you picked up 2 million I guess the warrants have already been exercise, is that correct?
  • Todd Bankofier:
    They are in the process of being exercise that exercise date is through 16 but we expect it to be done before that. And then we expect little over $2 million once done.
  • Sach Barot:
    And that comes to be an such an event to these financials.
  • Carr Bettis:
    Right, but well the 10-Q show the exercise price, so I can get a sense of how many shares were issued.
  • Todd Bankofier:
    We will publish in 8-K and it will make the details more clear for you.
  • Mark Heckman:
    Okay so if you're burning 1.3, you said per quarter and you have an extra 2 million, and I guess you could borrow more but….
  • Todd Bankofier:
    Yes, this is an unsecured line that we can draw if we need to and want to.
  • Mark Heckman:
    So 4.8 million that you have already burned through some money already this quarter but alright so you have theoretically 4.8 and you're burning 1.3 a quarter is that correct, is that the same time gain.
  • Todd Bankofier:
    I don’t think you can reliably expect to make a 1.3 burn in every quarter for the foreseeable future. We’ve got very specific things we are doing over the next couple of quarters here and are planning for ‘21 and ‘22 that we think are prudent to take advantage of the market opportunity. So I don’t think you can go to long-term trend expect that to continue to burn.
  • Mark Heckman:
    What do you mean higher?
  • Todd Bankofier:
    No, our current business plan is not, we haven't released the plan for 2021 and 2022, we will certainly do that the appropriate time. So…
  • Mark Heckman:
    Now, you’re talking about next…
  • Todd Bankofier:
    You are talking about the next quarter right now, next quarter it will be similar. We're going to continuously comps related we’ve done a long, as balance they need, the opportunity for growth, the opportunity for capital. So we feel pretty good about where we sit today, we like where we are.
  • Mark Heckman1:
    Okay. And…
  • Todd Bankofier:
    We payoff from the investments we're making now, we continue to see that stay-off in the fourth quarter right.
  • Mark Heckman:
    It will be helpful frankly for your stock and I’m just going to say this publicly when you can start to talk about getting to free cash flow positive because people just don't like seeing that in the company.
  • Todd Bankofier:
    Mark, thanks for your comment. I’m going to go back and reiterate the philosophy is very clear, we're going to focus on making the right decisions for the ROI for the company with long-term growth in mind and push to pedal down at the right time that we do like we had an opportunity to take real advantage of the market opportunity that what we are going to do. But Mark I appreciate your time. Thank you for joining.
  • Operator:
    Thank you. We reach end of our question-and-answer session, I’d like to turn the floor back over to Carr for any further or closing comments.
  • Carr Bettis:
    The stock based compensation for the Q was about 275 grand and D&A for the second quarter was about 222 grand [later changed by the company to 176 grand], I'm sorry. So everyone thank you very much for joining. We look forward to talking to you again shortly. Thank you very much.
  • Operator:
    Thank you. That does conclude today's teleconference. You may disconnect your lines at this time. And have a wonderful day. We thank you for your participation today.
