Thank you, Joe. We appreciate everybody joining us today. We achieved our goal in the second quarter of improved revenue numbers from Q2 of 2021 to Q2 of 2022 despite the headwinds we faced from Omicron lingering in a tight labor market. I am especially pleased with our SaaS revenue growth of 208% over Q2 2021. Joe will add more details to this later on. As I mentioned on our last call, we’ve invested in expanding our marketing efforts and have added to our sales team. Our 90-day pipeline continues to grow. This has resulted in a large increase in our contracts won. At the time of this call last year, 2021 year-to-date, we had closed 185 contracts with an estimated total contract value of approximately $3.8 million. For this year, 2022 year-to-date, we have closed 252 contracts, up 36% with an estimated total contract value of $4.7 million, up 24%. These orders are generally recognizable in revenue over one year or less. For the quarter just ended, June 30th, we closed 102 contracts, total contract value of $3.2 million. Impressively, we have taken and/or closed $4.7 million out of our pipeline this year and have continued to increase the number of opportunities with a current count of 181 worth $6.3 million. Our recent acquisition of Yellow Folder, which occurred April 1, 2022 contributed to the pipeline growth as well and is meeting our expectations. Since April 1, the Yellow Folder team sold new contracts worth $96,000 in SaaS and $120,000 in professional services total contract value in Q2. Our K-12 business unit now has over 530 K-12 districts generating over $3.7 million in SaaS revenue, which more than doubles our presence in this vertical market. This has been an excellent acquisition for Intellinetics. Additionally, nearly 95% of the Yellow…

Yes, yes. I am back now. Thanks, Jim. I will now review the financial results for the second quarter of 2022. Total revenue for the quarter ended June 30, 2022 increased 17% to $3.4 million as compared to $2.9 million for the same period last year. Following are the various components of revenue in the order presented on our statements of operations. Software revenue, which is comprised of perpetual license revenue increased 98% for the quarter ended to $11,000 from $6,000 for the same period last year. The ongoing industry shift towards cloud solutions in lieu of on-premise solutions makes this small, very small this quarter, component of our overall revenue increasingly inconsistent and can make comparisons swing significantly as we noted last quarter. Recurring revenue, which is comprised of SaaS, including hosting revenue and software maintenance services revenue increased 111% to $1.5 million for the quarter from $711,000 for the same period last year. Yellow Folder contributed $681,000 of the increase. Without Yellow Folder, the organic growth was strong, as well. SaaS is growing more rapidly than software maintenance services at 72% versus 3% as expected, given the continued shift toward cloud solutions. The differential is also partly attributed to customers migrating from our on-premise solution to our clouds solution, which shifts the revenue from maintenance to SaaS, and in every migration case this year, resulted in higher overall revenues. As a callout, we don’t mind this migration and view this as good cannibalization, because SaaS revenue stream is generally stickier that is with higher customer retention rates than maintenance. Also feedback to us has been that most investors view SaaS as having more enterprise value. Professional services revenue decreased 14% to $1.6 million for the quarter from $1.9 million for the same period last year. As a percentage…

Q - Howard Halpern

Analyst

Hi guys. Howard from Taglich Brothers. Congratulations. A great quarter. I was hoping you’d expand a little bit more about the potential for the IPAS Solution that you talked about in the press release, and what type of sales path are you taking? Are you going to your existing customers first, or are you gaining new customers from that offering?

Jim DeSocio

Management

Hi, Howard. Thank you. It’s a great question. So, we started this project with one of our key customers on top of the world who uses software from a company called Newstar where Newstar is owned by a very large software company called Constellation. Newstar has about 200 customers and they do financial software and procurement software for homebuilders. So they came to us and we worked with them on this project and we’ve already sold three to four deals, or three deals. We are implementing three deals. We’ve actually sold four. So, we believe we have a great opportunity. We’ve just launched this product in March and we’ve already closed four very nice size deals. They are usually three to four times the size of our average customer. So, it’s all about workflow around procurement and invoicing and comparing it to the purchase order et cetera, so and accounts payable. So, we are very bullish on this and we believe we could take it across a good part of our customer base, as well.

Howard Halpern

Analyst

Okay. And could you talk a little bit about, I guess, your focus on, a little bit of the Yellow Folder and how it’s all ramping together in your sales and marketing activities going forward?

Jim DeSocio

Management

Yes. So, when we acquired Yellow Folder, the great news we already had about – we had about 240 school districts already, which is the good news. We acquired 120 school districts when we bought CEO Imaging in 2020 and then our very good partner Software Unlimited, which sells financial software to school districts has sold about 160 customers for us, as well. So, what we are doing is, reorganizing the company around business divisions. So we are going to take all of the K-12 business units and roll it up into one business division and focus our development efforts there. Our sales efforts there, our marketing efforts there, and in the same token we are consolidating our Graphic Sciences business with our Columbus digital transformation business, so they can focus exclusively on digital transformation part of our business. And then, we’ll also have an IPAS business unit selling into that. So we really have been trying to focus our – we are going to focus our sales team on specific areas of expertise, put the marketing dollars where they need to and the development efforts specifically in those areas, as well. So we are going through this transformation right now. Very, very bullish on the K-12. We have 530. We finally have a – we have a dominant position in that space for document management in the K-12 area. The amount of SaaS revenue we are driving out of that area and the ability to cross-sell into that area, as well has been very beneficial. As you remember, when we did this with CEO Imaging, we sold to a school district of one of their customers. We sold a $450,000 digital transformation business into [Livonia](ph) school district a couple of years ago. So we’ve already started to do that with Yellow Folder and first deal out of the box was an $81,000 deal. So, we are very excited about what we are trying to accomplish here.

Howard Halpern

Analyst

And in terms of Graphic Sciences, are you finding the personnel now to – you are having a backlog. So how are you finding the personnel to begin executing on that pack all the boxes?

Jim DeSocio

Management

Yes. It took us longer. I think the entire – everything everybody is reading is getting people back to work et cetera. So it took us longer than we thought it would than it usually has in the past to get people on board. We are just about full complement. I think we need two more people to be full complement. So we are in very good shape at this point right now, when we are ramping up, yes.

Howard Halpern

Analyst

Okay. Well, guys, keep up the great work.

Jim DeSocio

Management

Thank you, Howard.

Joe Spain

Operator

Thank you.

Jim DeSocio

Management

Good.

Joe Spain

Operator

Any other questions, you’d want to unmute yourself again if you are on the computer, I think it’s a click away in the Zoom and if you are on the phone, I think it’s a pound 6.

Jim DeSocio

Management

Okay. Well, let me wrap up then. Let me pull all this together in a few senses. We had some challenges with our professional services division, mostly in hiring for deduction and until recently that division has been doing extremely well. However in Q3, we are ramping up and our staffing levels are looking for those challenges to be addressed in Q4 and beyond. We are in very good shape at this point. We don’t want to lose sight of the fact that the acquisition is delivering as we expected. We continue to do well with sales, closing the orders and we are very excited about our future. We appreciate the continued support of our long time shareholders and aim to attract new investors, as well by delivering results. It is our goal to continue building a business model, which in turn builds shareholder value. Thank you for joining us today and we look forward to speaking again on our next conference call. Thank you.
