Liquidity, Financial Condition and Management's Plans
2. Liquidity, Financial Condition and Management's Plans
 
The Company funds its operations principally from cash on hand and accounts receivable collected.
 
The Company completed an initial public offering ("IPO") of its equity securities on March 8, 2013 and received $19,474,565 in proceeds, net of offering costs.
 
As more fully described in Note 9 below, we entered into a diversity recruitment partnership agreement with LinkedIn Corporation ("LinkedIn") on November 12, 2012, which became effective on January 1, 2013 and terminated on March 29, 2014. Under our business agreement with LinkedIn, LinkedIn made fixed quarterly payments to us in the amount of $500,000 per quarter and paid us commissions for sales of our services in excess of certain thresholds.  The agreement with LinkedIn terminated on March 29, 2014 and, as a result, LinkedIn is no longer a reseller of the Company's products or services and the Company will not receive the fixed quarterly payments of $500,000 or have the potential to earn additional commission revenue from LinkedIn. The termination of our agreement with LinkedIn will have a material impact on revenue and operating cash flow in the near term. However, we will be permitted, as of March 30, 2014, to market and sell our products to any company, including those 1,000 companies on LinkedIn's restricted account list because as part of our termination arrangement with LinkedIn, the restricted account list will no longer apply.  The Company has implemented a plan to actively engage with the 1,000 companies that were formerly restricted from us by agreement with LinkedIn.  In addition we will also be marketing to customers that had purchased our products through contracts with LinkedIn with the intent of renewing those contracts directly as they expire over the coming 12 months.  We feel that our existing salesforce has the capacity to service the additional potential customers we will target as a result of the termination of the LinkedIn agreement.

The termination of our agreement with LinkedIn on March 29, 2014 will have a material impact on revenue and operating cash flow during the year ending December 31, 2014. In response to this and to help mitigate the impact of the loss of revenue, the Company is adjusting its business plan and focusing on its key areas of strength, including, but not limited to:
 
·
Our ability to sell directly to all potential customers and earn 100% of each sale;
 
·
Eliminate key account restrictions imposed on us during the effective time of the LinkedIn agreement;
 
·
Benefit from new enhanced Equal Employment Opportunity-Office of Federal Contract Compliance Program regulations enhancing demand for our products and services;
 
·
Benefit from the strength of our business foundation and management team; and
 
·
Pursue potential acquisition opportunities in the recruitment industry.
